With the help of An Ge and the use of Sun Shouyi's prestige, Sun Yu can be said to have risen rapidly, and after conquering Xiakou and Wuchang, the number of soldiers under his command exceeded 100,000.

This is definitely a number that makes Xiao Jiwen jealous, she has worked hard to develop until now, and there are only more than 100,000 troops, and many of them are new troops, which is also related to being too poor when she first entered Shu and couldn't support the army at all.

Of course, this is definitely not all the number of Xiao Xiao's army, and the territory is not small, playing the role of Yunzhou, Shuzhou, Yongzhou, half of Yuzhou and half of Qianzhou's territory, and now it is necessary to add a small half of Jingzhou. If there are only more than 100,000 in total, then there is no way to keep it at all. Which city can not arrange the city defense army. It's just that these can't be called, so naturally they can't be counted.

And the remaining more than 100,000 that can be called up is not really something that can be requisitioned casually. Qianzhou must stay some, and it is impossible to be defenseless. Yongzhou also needs to leave some deterrent to the Western Regions. The same is true in Shuzhou, even if Xiao Yao's wife personally married Tubo, but after all, it is just a formality, and it should still be guarded against.

Therefore, this time Xiao Jiwen captured Jingzhou, it is already the limit to have tens of thousands, and the number of people recruited will exceed 100,000.

And Sun Yu directly exceeded 100,000, not to mention Xiao Yu's sister-in-law, even Zhou Shaoyu was jealous.

But the situation is different. Sun Yu's territory is not large, and the army is quite numerous, but in fact, he does not dare to move. In the final analysis, nearly half of his subordinates are untrained water robbers, and they are not of great use. If you want to be in an invincible position and get the attention of the big beam, then the three important waterways of Jiangxia, Xiakou and Wuchang must not be lost, and they must be strictly defended. As a result, there are not many flexible troops to be deployed.

If it weren't for that, An Ge wouldn't have used such a conspiracy to defend Baling City with a small number of troops.

If Sun Shouren hadn't had other ideas, Ange's strategy would have actually succeeded. It is equivalent to making Zhou Shaoyu suffer a dumb loss, and he can only find a way to justify his whitewashing, but it is not good to send troops directly to take Baling, otherwise it will only make people doubt the authenticity of Baling's matter.

Just as the girls guessed, An Ge has long had preparations and arrangements in this regard, when recruiting the water robbers, naturally not all the water robbers were willing to be recruited, and An Ge went the opposite way, carefully selected, selected one person as the leader, and sent undercover agents to persuade him.

You see, people have surrendered on a large scale and formed a big force, if we are not united, then wait to be destroyed, there was still Tanzhou to escape before, but now Tanzhou is Zhou Shaoyu's territory, it has long been strong, where can we escape when there is no way out?

Then, naturally, he made a suggestion, pretending to be Zhou Shaoyu and Duobaling, and used it as a foundation to get a piece of the pie in this troubled world.

So there was the appearance of Baling pretending to be Zhou Shaoyu, and it was An Ge who led the troops to come, and it was indeed a real fight, and while designing Zhou Shaoyu, he could also clear Yun Mengze's dishonest water cowards, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

But it is precisely because it is a real fight that casualties are inevitable, and the defense force is even weaker when the number of troops brought is already small.

Originally, it didn't matter, anyway, Tanzhou wouldn't get involved at this time. After a while, An Ge was confident that he would continue to strengthen himself freely, and at that time he would have enough troops to be deployed to garrison him.

It's a pity that An Ge didn't expect that Sun Shouren would be so bold that he would give up Jiangling instead of this Baling City.

"Sun Shouren, is this planning to cut off his own foundation?" An Ge was quite embarrassed and fled from Baling City with the remnants of the army, his face was very distorted.

According to her assumption, Sun Shouren should not return to anyone except Da Liang, so the battle with Sun Shouren is nothing more than the importance in Gao Yuyao's heart. Ange is very confident in this. But at present, it seems that Sun Shouren is likely to have voted for Xiao Jiao's wife, but he did not raise the flag openly.

The original plan has been disrupted, and Ange must rethink for the next step.

And no matter what she thinks, Tanzhou has already negotiated the final result.

"It doesn't really matter what Sun Shouren's ultimate position and purpose are." Li Qingzhao, who presided over the discussion, made a final summary. "The important thing is that since attacking Baling means that it is completely hostile to Sun Yu, but Baling is southerly, at most it can only have a certain deterrent to Sun Yu, and has no substantive effect. Offering Jiangling and Xiao Yuwen is likely to be a delaying strategy, Sun Shouren should interrupt to suppress Sun Yu in a short time, even so, there is only one move to play in the next step, and that is to seize Xiakou! ”

Xiakou is located in the middle of Jiangxia and Wuchang, once Xiakou is captured, it is thought that the connection between the latter two has been severed, in addition, Wuchang is different from Jiangxia, Sun Shouyi did not leave any prestige in Wuchang, the original Wuchang soldiers are now descended to Sun Yu is just because of defeat, once Sun Shouren's side takes Xiakou, then Wuchang is likely to set things right and return to Sun Shouren's command.

At that time, Sun Shouren only needs to face Jiangxia, and when the time comes, he will further stabilize Xiao and Xiakou, and send troops to Xiangyang and Xiakou respectively, showing a flanking attack, so it is not difficult to recapture Jiangxia.

At that time, Sun Shouren's strength was further weakened, but in the case of Sun Yu's destruction, the Liang court had no choice, so it could only try its best to support Sun Shouren to defend Jingzhou to ensure the safety of the waterway. In this way, the direct friction between Xiao and the girder was formed.

This kind of situation is what Zhou Shaoyu and they are happy to see.

Moreover, if Sun Shouren had been occupying Baling, it would be difficult for them to move, so it would be better to simply help them attack Xiakou. For Sun Shouren, there is no room for loss in seizing Xiakou, and he must do his best, in this way, Baling's defense is naturally empty, and Tanzhou can take the opportunity to garrison at this time, and it is even not necessary to occupy it externally, just say that it is a temporary defense, anyway, it will not spit out when the time comes.

Of course, this still requires Wen Nuodang to cooperate with the drama first, as he said, and find a few Shui Kou as scapegoats to clarify the matter of impersonating Zhou Shaoyu. Otherwise, if Tanzhou really rushes to occupy it, I am afraid that it will cause a backlash from the local people.

I'm not afraid that the other party won't cooperate with the play, so I can use it as a bargaining chip to help him attack Xiakou. Presumably he would not refuse, besides, the sailors of Tanzhou had already entered Jingzhou anyway, didn't they, for Sun Shouren's side, instead of always being vigilant and guessing his whereabouts, it was better to simply make a good deal and control his whereabouts at all times.

"Now it's so decided, this time I will bother Xianying and Ling Yue to go to assist Sun Shangxiang." Li Qingzhao made the final decision.

"Whoa." Xin Xianying and Li Lingyue got up to receive the order. Obviously, the former is used for the purpose of staff officers and divisions, while the latter is used to take charge of internal affairs after being stationed in Baling at the right time.

In terms of actual management experience, maybe Cao Jie and the others are much stronger than Li Lingyue at the moment, but after all, there is a difference in temperament, the situation in Baling is relatively complicated, even if there is Wennuo to cooperate in the drama at that time, I am afraid that there are still people in the Baling area who will not believe it or even take the opportunity to make trouble. At such a moment, it should be decisive, if necessary, it even needs to be cold-blooded, suppress it, and don't hesitate to kill it, at this point, it is Li Lingyue who is the most suitable, in the end, she has seen too many things, and her heart is much harder than other girls.

Fortunately, it was not too late to be taken away by Zhou Shaoyu, and it was not so cold that way, otherwise, even his own sister would be guilty.

In fact, according to the discussion and analysis, in fact, Sun Shouren has a certain possibility of finally taking refuge in his own side, but in the end he still gave up this, this kind of unguaranteed thing is not very reliable, don't lay out a lot and pay a lot at that time, the result is useless, why bother, if you arrange this, let Sun Shouren continue to stand on the side of the beam. After all, continue to fight with Xiao Jiwen.

Obviously, An Ge's scheming is by no means an incompetent person, maybe there was a mistake in Baling City, but he didn't expect Sun Shouren to act like this. But if you think about it carefully, you can naturally see that the next most important thing is Xiakou. Since he saw through it, he would naturally be heavily guarded, and it was Wennuo who wanted to attack it, but it was not so easy.

And this is the opportunity for Tanzhou, after all, if Xiakou is easy to win, how can they help attack Xiakou as a bargaining chip.

Xin Xianying and Li Lingyue quickly left Fucheng and went north, and the two did not go directly to meet Sun Shangxiang, but went straight to Baling City to negotiate with Wen Nuo, while waiting for Sun Shangxiang's arrival. Xin Xianying is mainly responsible for this matter, while Li Lingyue sent people into the people to investigate, grasp the dynamics of the people, understand how Zhou Shaoyu's name is now in Baling, and what will become under the whitewashing measures in the future, so as to prepare for taking charge of Baling in the future.

On the other hand, Sun Shouren also reached a further secret discussion with Xiao Jiwen. The latter should be said to be more accurate to deceive, obviously has no intention of taking refuge in Xiao Yao's wife, but what he said is to the point, the reason why he does not make it clear that the car and horse have changed hands is also sufficient.

Once Sun Shouren directly changed the banner and stood on Xiao Yu's side, then Gao Yuyao, who had no choice, could only support Sun Yu to send troops to help him defend Jingzhou, after all, Sun Yu alone could not hold it. This will only increase the difficulty of Xiao Jiwen's attack on Jingzhou. But Sun Shouren will be fine if he doesn't say anything, and the court will only continue to watch and seek balance from it. In this way, Sun Shouren can take the opportunity to take Sun Yu, and then surrender to Cheng like Xiao Yu.

And the most important point to obtain Xiao Jiwen's consent, if Sun Shouren wants to finally seize Jiangxia, Xiangyang will inevitably need to send troops, which means that Xiangyang will let go of weakness. At that time, even if Sun Shouren wants to repent, the price of Xiao Yuwen to take Xiangyang will not be too great.

For a time, all parties made their own arrangements, and Jingzhou was quite peaceful in a short period of time.

If you really want to talk about it, Huofeng is the biggest winner, she didn't do anything, the two northern counties of Jingzhou are in vain, in the current form, for a while, no one will have the energy to trouble her, it can be described as a muffled fortune.

Although the surface is calm, the undercurrent is surging, and everyone knows that a new round of war is about to start again.

It's just that it's August, and Gao Yuyao doesn't have the energy to pay attention to this for the time being.

Great Liang Jingshi, Jinling, Imperial Palace.

The princess strained, held on, and exhaled...... Suck...... Call...... Suck...... ...... force"

On this day, Princess Xinyang began to have abdominal pain in the middle of the night, which could not have been more obvious to the pot-bellied woman who had been around the same time. Hearing this news, where can Xiao Yaowen sleep, just waiting for further news to make corresponding arrangements.

Because of the previous bad examples, Gao Yuyao was also very nervous, and she never thought about this nervousness! This is going to be premature!

Okay, Princess Xinyang over there hasn't been a result yet, and Gao Yuyao here is also going to give birth.

For women, giving birth to a child is definitely a painful thing, don't look at the survival rate of babies in later generations is very high, but even under such perfect medical conditions, there are still accidents, not to mention the ancient society with such backward production conditions.

No matter how he imagined giving birth to a child before, or how to raise the child after birth, anyway, at least at this moment, Gao Yuyao regretted it, what, can it hurt so much? Is it okay if I don't give birth?

"Zhou Shaoyu, you ...... with a thousand cuts!" The pain was so great that Gao Yuyao couldn't care about it, so she exhaled directly, gritted her teeth and scolded Zhou Shaoyu. Fortunately, they are all absolute loyalists, and they don't worry about rumors or anything, the palace maids and midwives present, all their family members are controlled by Gao Yuyao.

In the capital city of Tanzhou, this character who has suffered a thousand knives has a strange face. Not long after Fang got up today, he said that there was someone in the palace again, but this time there was no condolence, and it was also a secret envoy, and outsiders would not know about it at all.

Zhou Shaoyu naturally won't come forward, according to the whitewashing strategy, he should stay in the north now. But the secret letter was still sent to him in the end, and when he opened it, he was sweating.

Li Qingzhao took a look at the probe and smiled playfully, yo, okay guy, you actually asked the Empress Dowager Liang to send a letter saying that she was pregnant with Zhou Shaoyu's child? Hawkers, Li Qingzhao doesn't believe this, but this is not the point, the point is, doesn't this mean that there is a leg between Zhou Shaoyu and Gao Yuyao? It's not shallow.

"But I suddenly remembered the little tune that Zhou Lang sang at the beginning." Li Qingzhao cleared his throat, and sang directly to himself: "Don't pick wildflowers on the side of the road...... If you don't pick white, you don't pick it, and you still want to pick it ......"

"Poof......" Zhou Shaoyu sprayed directly, this Nima, have I sung this? wiped his forehead, laughed twice, and said: "Conspiracy, definitely a conspiracy, you also know that she is the most disgusting, I promise, now I have absolutely no special relationship with Gao Yuyao!" ”

At the same moment, in the Jingshi Palace, Gao Yuyao: "Zhou Shaoyu, you big bastard......"

"Really?" Li Qingzhao is not stupid, he is smart, and he snorted twice: "Not now, that is, there was before?" Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Zhou Lang was the face of Gao Yuyao before, but now it seems that it is not a rumor. ”

"I'm not her face!" Zhou Shaoyu was very indignant, what is it, this word is so awkward, besides, there are rumors that he does not have a leg with Gao Yuyao.

On the other side, Gao Yuyao: "It hurts...... Yes! Big bastard! Zhou Shaoyu, who suffered a thousand cuts, I, I, sooner or later will arrest you and put you in a cage as a pet ......"

Well, it's not as good as the first face.

Li Qingzhao was about to say a few words, when he saw a faint light flickering next to him, but the embroidered brocade suddenly appeared.

"Huh? Why did you suddenly show up? Zhou Shaoyu was very surprised, the number of times Xiujin appeared was not much, even if it was just a phantom.

"Nothing." Xiujin shook her head, looked at Dongfang inexplicably, and said with a meaningful smile: "I just suddenly wanted to come and have a look." ”

On the other side of the same moment, the baby cried, very loudly. Zhou Shaoyu also looked at Dongfang suspiciously, and always felt that something terrible had happened.
