"The art of war is cloudy, and the heart is the best!" Xin Xianying got up with a feather fan, with one hand behind her back, she looked quite chic, but she was slightly shorter and a little less imposing.

"Sun Yufang started, and the foundation was not stable. The Sun family has been in Jingzhou for 300 years, and it has long been deep-rooted, if it weren't for Sun Yu's fellow Sun family, there would never be the current situation. However, Sun Yu is not a concubine after all, and the name of General Zhennan will not fall on him in any case. Maybe for a while and a half, because he is a descendant of the Sun family, and Sun Shouren himself is difficult to protect, so there is no difference everywhere, if Sun Yu has been smooth sailing in the future, there is no need to mention. But if it's the other way around......

Jingzhou fell into war, and it was difficult to transmit information, and for Xiakou, it is not yet known whether Sun Shouren was serious about himself, but there was the most intuitive way, that is, the army surrounded outside the city. They will only think that since Sun Shouren still has the strength to send a large army to fight, it can only show that Sun Shouren has all the strength to spare, not that he is difficult to protect as rumored. Under the siege, the longer the time passes, the more panicked the people in the city and the high-ranking families will become, and the prices will skyrocket, which ordinary people cannot afford.

When this sentiment reaches a critical point, heh, Xiakou City will not attack itself, and then attack the city again, and Wen Nuo will be able to obtain the city at the lowest cost. Coupled with the reasons mentioned by Ling Yue, it can be said that it is the best of both worlds, and Wen Nuo's move can be described as clever! No wonder Sun Shouren was ordered to go north, but he left Wen Nuo to preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou, this person is indeed talented. ”

Xin Xianying did not hesitate to praise at all, and even a little excitement in her words. An Ge and Wen Nuo, these two are both very good at strategy, how can they not like their opponents in chess?

"In my opinion, it is Xiao Jiwen, in fact, she was not deceived by Sun Shouren, she was just taking what she needed...... Xin Xianying said again.

At the same time, Gangneung City.

Xiao Xiao's concubine rarely has leisure, walking on the streets of Jiangling in ordinary clothes, overall, Jiangling at this time is a little sluggish, after all, the war in Jingzhou has a great impact on business.

"Your Highness......" but one or two veterans with gray temples personally patrolled the city, and approached after discovering Xiao Yu's wife.

"Oh, it turned out to be General Yu." Xiao Auntie's tone was quite respectful, maybe the position of Yu Zongsheng in front of her was not high, and her skills were relatively ordinary, but she was an absolute veteran, and she was the first person to serve Xiao Auntie, and she was also diligent and down-to-earth, the most responsible, which was reassuring. And now the Yu family is full of people, all of them work for Xiao Jiwen, which can be described as loyal.

"Your Highness, there will be something you don't understand, so dare to ask Your Highness." Yu Zongsheng clenched his fists and bent over, and then followed slowly behind Xiao Yu's side.

"Old General Yu might as well speak bluntly."

"The last general thinks that our army does not spend a single soldier to get half of Jingzhou, which is really the power of the princess. However, at this moment, the army was stationed in Gangneung and did not move for more than a month...... The last general thought that Sun Shouren could not be trusted. ”

"Hahaha, General Yu is really, it's called asking for advice, it's really advice." Xiao Ji was happy.

Yu Zongsheng's meaning couldn't be more obvious, he couldn't believe Sun Shouren's so-called secret service, and only thought that Sun Shouren was delaying time in vain.

"Don't dare." Yu Zongsheng said on his lips, but his expression looked like he was planning to do so.

"You might as well talk to the old general, it's just a mutual use." Xiao Xiaowen said with a smile.

Do you really think that Xiao Jiwen can't see anything clearly? It's really so easy to fool, then there will never be today's foundation, wash up early and go back to sleep.

Xiao Jiwen is self-aware, and when it comes to fighting, she does have some ability. However, in terms of internal affairs, it is a little worse, and although it is more than properly managed, it is difficult to generate revenue. If it weren't for the sweep of the Western Regions, I'm afraid that there would be no capital to expand the army now. Of course, if you are like Gao Yuyao, it is not impossible, but in Xiao Yuyao's concept, the dignified Empress Dowager actually formed a caravan by herself to do business...... I can't accept it. And herself, if she was just an ordinary princess, it would be fine, but since she wants to restore orthodoxy, then this matter is absolutely unacceptable.

It doesn't hurt if you can't expand the army wantonly, Xiao Jiaowen also pays attention to the elite route, and the elite is not much more expensive. It's just that in this way, it is inevitable to worry about the loss of troops.

Sun Yu's choice now is obvious, no matter whether Sun Yu intends to stand on his own in the future or choose to serve the side, there is only one choice at the moment, that is, to rely on the beam, hoping to be recognized by Gao Yuyao and replace Sun Shouren's position. Based on this, no matter what Sun Shouren's attitude is, a battle with Sun Yu is inevitable. Wouldn't it be better to sit and watch the civil strife in Jingzhou consume? Moreover, Tanzhou has also cooperated with us. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yuwen shook her head and continued: "But this is also within my expectations, and no one will be stupid." Zhou Shaoyu's position must be that he hopes that I will directly attack Gao Yuyao, so that he can sit back and enjoy his success. Directly sending troops to intervene actually seems to have the intention of plotting Jingzhou, but it is not.

If I guessed correctly, he wanted to further cause the Sun clan to fight in Tubaling City at the same time, and the more internal friction, the more advantageous it would be for us to attack Jingzhou. It seems that Tanzhou sent troops to assist in the attack on Xiakou, but in fact, they will never directly participate in the offensive and defensive battles of Xiakou.

However, Sun Shouren is also not stupid, and he can see through Tanzhou's purpose to some extent. Therefore, his advisor Wen Nuo took the smartest way to attack the heart! Strive to take Natsuguchi with minimal losses. In order to ensure the strength of the Zhennan General's Mansion, so as to continue to gain Gao Yuyao's support to stand firm in Jingzhou.

Sun Shouren has always sought a balance between all parties and the best possible outcome. The Tanzhou side is just using us in the long run. And conversely, why shouldn't we? ”

Don't look at being in a high position and holding power, in fact, there are very few options for anything.

Let's talk about Sun Shouren first, the backer Gao Yuyao has not yet directly sent troops to support. In the north, he was hindered by the rebellion against Yuzhou, and he had to withstand the direct attack of Xiao Yu's sister-in-law, and there was a Sun Yu in civil strife. In such a critical situation, we can only strive for the greatest interests by striking a balanced measure among all parties.

No one would believe that Zhou Shaoyu was a loyal minister, but since such a big force has never rebelled, it is obviously due to factors such as reputation and other factors, or the time has not yet come to prepare for it, in short, at this time, Tanzhou is basically credible, at most trying to use a small part of Jingzhou as a stepping stone for the future.

In addition, he has cooperated with Xiao Sister-in-law to seek Jingzhou several times before, so the meaning of Tanzhou is also obvious, and he is happy to see Xiao Sister-in-law take Jingzhou, why? There is only one purpose, to let Xiao Jiwen directly border the Liang court, so that there will be friction directly. It's a plan to sit and watch the tigers fight.

From this point of view, Tanzhou is not credible, because his purpose is to let Xiao Jiwen eat Jingzhou. Then what he did must not be to help Sun Shouren.

So what to do? Sitting?

How can it be! The foundation of the ancestors, how can they say that they will abandon it. As a last resort, Sun Shouren would never have chosen so. Therefore, directly using Xiao Jiaowen and Zhou Shaoyu to see the situation layout of Jingzhou's internal friction, as long as Xiakou can be successfully won, then Wuchang will basically be in the bag, and there is only one Jiangxia Sun Yu left, which will inevitably not be favored by Gao Yuyao.

And at that time, he could only choose Sun Shouren, who no longer had enough strength, since he didn't have enough strength, could Gao Yuyao send troops to help? It can be said that if everything goes well, the position of his grandson's family can continue to be preserved to the greatest extent.

is still the same sentence, no one is a fool, Xiao Jiwen also sees it clearly, everyone has the bottom of what all parties think. And in the end, which party benefits depends on the detailed operation.

Like now.

"The key point now is ......" Xiao Yu's mouth raised, pretending to be mysterious.

The next day, Xiao Jiwen's army marched straight to Xiangyang, and camped outside the city, looking like they were about to attack. At this time, Sun Yu's army, which had been stationed on the other side of the Han River, immediately withdrew to aid Xiakou.

"The reason couldn't be simpler, he, Sun Yu, has no choice!" Xiao Yuwen laughed. "Pass the order, recuperate and rest in peace, there will be no war in the near future."

It is true that there is no choice, if it is said that at the beginning Wen Nuo led the army to besiege Xiakou was still hesitant, but as time went by, An Ge also completely saw Wen Nuo's plan. This is already very intuitive, and An Ge, who stayed in Xiakou City, has suppressed a group of rebels. If it goes on like this, Xia Kou will be in chaos, so what kind of strength will he keep?

And as soon as Xiakou was lost, Jiangxia and Wuchang were cut off, and it was only a matter of time before the latter was lost.

The reason why Sun Yu was allowed to lead his troops to Xiangyang City was to add pressure to Sun Shouren. Second, it is also to guard against Sun Shouren's desperation, abandoning Jingzhou and ignoring the attack on Jiangxia. But now that Xiao Yuwen looks like she is attacking Xiangyang, Sun Shouren naturally has no time to take care of anything else, and Sun Yu naturally doesn't need to stay there, and the focus at the moment is to defend Xiakou without losing it.

On the same day, Sun Yu led 30,000 troops to Xiakou, and at the same time, Sun Shangxiang was ill, and the Tanzhou Navy Division retreated.

In this regard, Sun Shouren in Xiangyang City and Wen Nuo outside Xiakou City sighed at the same time: "It's a bad move......

Yes, if you can delay for some more time to take Xiakou, then you will have the capital to let Gao Yuyao directly decide whether to send troops to support. And now, Sun Yu has come to the rescue, and he doesn't dare to say that Xia Kou is impregnable, but it is impossible to think of a non-destructive plot. Or rather, it should be said that it is not even possible to storm it.

Reinforcements came, and his so-called friendly troops also retreated on all fronts, which is fine, and directly retreated to Baling City in the name of friendly troops, which is equivalent to cutting off Wennuo's back road, and this friendly army is not so reliable.

The first war was not fought, but the situation in Jingzhou still changed again.

"There's one last chance......" Sun Shouren muttered to himself, but it was difficult to decide.

In the end, his last chance was to abandon Xiangyang Jiancheng, concentrate his forces and go straight to Jiangxia to take it in one fell swoop, and then echo Wennuo in the north and south, and destroy Sun Yu as quickly as possible. At this time, Gao Yuyao completely lost the capital to continue to sit and watch, so she could only choose to send troops to support Jingzhou.

It's just that this move is not safe, if he can't attack Sun Yu in time, or Gao Yuyao's reinforcements can't arrive in time, and he Sun Shouren wants to choose to stand in line again, it will be too late. Even if he barely held Jiangxia, Xiakou and Wuchang, his strength has been sharply reduced to a certain point, and it is impossible to imagine that he is as beautiful as before.

Also making a difficult choice is An Ge, this strange woman thinks she is full of wisdom, but at this moment, she also feels that she has finally thought about things a little simpler before.

The current situation is becoming more and more obvious, no matter which side it is, they all want to see Sun's internal friction, unless Gao Yuyao immediately abandons Sun Shouren and sends troops to help, otherwise the future of his side is worrying. And no matter how you think about it, it seems that there is only one choice, that is, to send troops and solve the Wennuo army in Xiakou City as quickly as possible, so that Sun Shouren, who only has one Xiangyang City left, is not worthy of support anyway. In that case, as long as Gao Yuyao didn't want Jingzhou to lose, how could he not help?

Of course, the premise is that if you win, you have to win as beautifully as possible. Otherwise, it's really hard to say.

In this regard, An Ge's courage was so strong that Sun Shouren was still hesitating to choose, and An Ge had already persuaded Sun Yu to prepare to send 60,000 of the current 70,000 troops in Xiakou City to go out of the city directly to fight, and strive for a great victory in this battle.

But at this time, what is Gao Yuyao doing?

"It seems that they all think that the mourning family will continue to sit idly by? Do you have to let Sun have a result within the family and choose one of them to support? Gao Yuyao looked at the latest information and couldn't help but let out a few sneers. One by one, they will all mourn as fools. ”

Jingzhou is prosperous, but at this point, Gao Yuyao really doesn't care much, she cares more about the waterway. After all, this is a path that can directly threaten the Kyoshi.

Since you can threaten Jingshi, why do you have to rely on others? Isn't it good to come by yourself? Don't look at Xiao Jiwen's always thought that she represented orthodoxy, but in fact, her main beam is the real orthodoxy right now.

"Order General Chai Sang Yang Yiyang to act according to the plan." Gao Yuyao waved her hand, the wind was light, as if everything was under control.

A few days later, at night, Sun Yu's army set out to attack Wennuo's camp outside the city at night.

What no one expected was that Sun Yufang went out of the city from Xiakou here. On the other side, Chaisang, a general named Yang Yi, led the army straight to Wuchang and directly managed Wuchang City in the name of the imperial court.

Even An Ge didn't expect Gao Yuyao to make such a choice, and he didn't leave many people in Wuchang at all. And Wuchang City saw that the imperial army was mighty, and there was also the identity of the imperial court, where did he dare to resist? Directly Kaesong surrendered.

At the same time, there are messengers from the imperial court rushing to Jiangxia, and if they don't directly persuade them to surrender, it probably means that our imperial army has come to support the Zhennan General's Mansion, and they will arrive soon, so you are ready to meet them.

Yes, this is actually no different from persuasion to surrender, it is a direct warning, be honest, surrender quickly, otherwise the army will come, and you will look good.

Even An Ge has never started an incident in the name of rebellion, and his plan has always been to obtain the support of the imperial court to stabilize his foothold temporarily, otherwise there would not be so many people following Sun Yu.

It is a messenger from the imperial court, and in the absence of Sun Yu and An Ge, it is conceivable what choice can be made. Is it difficult to disobey orders? No one has ever thought of rebellion.

"But I didn't expect that Gao Yuyao actually lifted the table directly." Thinking in all directions.
