Reasonable, unexpected.

Although the strength of the Zhennan General's Mansion was lost, it was also powerful, and Gao Yuyao could naturally completely rely on Sun Shouren to defend Jingzhou.

But in the current situation, no matter which Sun family wins in the end and gets her support, how much strength can they have? When taken together, it is not worth supporting at all.

In fact, the real reason for Gao Yuyao to make such a decision is something that outsiders can't guess, because Gao Yuyao is purely thinking about her children in the future.

In the 300 years since the founding of the Great Liang, the three generals' mansions are certainly famous and protect the peace of the country. However, on the contrary, it has become a thorn in the court for a long time. It's also thanks to so many years that these families have never had any objections, otherwise with the little army of the previous imperial court, how could they fight?

At present, Zhenbei and Zhenxi have declined, although Zhenbei has continued, but there is no name to stay in Beijing. And Zhenxi is not much better, Yongzhou has fallen into the hands of Xiao Jiao's wife, and the Zhenxi General's Mansion has become dependent, but the Jiang family is quite shrewd, investing everywhere, not only sending people to the imperial court, but also sending people to take refuge in Zhou Shaoyu.

After all, even if he returns to a high position, he will not be able to hold the military power alone as he once did, and even meddle in politics.

But the Zhennan General's Mansion is different.

Jingzhou was prosperous and peaceful, and apart from the occasional small rebellion, there would be no war at all. And the Sun family can produce many people, and never slack off in the military. Over the past three hundred years, the name of the Sun family has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Jingzhou.

If you choose to continue to support, it will be a matter of time before the Sun family becomes bigger again. And this is by no means what Gao Yuyao wants.

What Gao Yuyao wants is a new beam with a high degree of centralization, paving the way for his son Xiao Jie, so that he can directly control a complete power of checks and balances at that time.

In this way, the Sun family of the Zhennan General's Mansion has become a burden.

If you don't have a son, it's okay to say, just take your time. Although you can take your time with a son, your mentality is different. Moreover, the current Liang court is not so weak, and there is no need to continue to use people. What's more, now is indeed a good opportunity.

Sun Shouren is not stupid, as soon as he sees the actions of the Liang army, he can guess that Gao Yuyao has already given him up. In this case, Sun Shouren only had two choices, either to completely surrender to the imperial court, and the past scenery was not there. Otherwise, choose another side to work.

The former is naturally no better, as long as he throws over, he will still let Sun Shouren lead the troops, but under control, don't want to restore the glory of the past. Then slowly wear off the influence of the Sun family in Jingzhou.

And the latter, no better, if necessary, directly and publicly call it a rebellion, just this move, the Sun family in Jingzhou in Jingzhou in vain, in the final analysis, Liang is orthodox after all.

Under such circumstances, Sun Shouren is better, after all, he has a deep background, and he can still hesitate and delay for a while. But Sun Yu is miserable, if his father Sun Shouyi is still alive, then he can maneuver a few more times, but he Sun Yu is completely unqualified.

If Sun Shouren officially voted for the imperial court and can still be reused, then Sun Yu, at most, is an idle post and an idler, and this life will be wasted.

Jingzhou, Xiakou.

"Yulang, you must not give up!" An Ge is also in a hurry, her ambition, her revenge, this has just begun, how can it end so quickly. "Yulang, the concubine also wants to be married to the Yulang immortals, this life is happy and happy, and meeting Yulang is the greatest blessing in the concubine's life. Ran Yulang must not forget, the revenge of killing his father must be avenged! ”

As soon as these words came out, Sun Yu, who was originally a little disheartened, immediately became excited. Yes, if there is no such bad thing, even if it is just an idle job, he is happy, and he can always fly with An Ge. However, the revenge of killing his father......

Sun Yu has already determined that his father is Sun Shouren's handiwork. But the problem is that the current situation is indeed not ideal, and I can't help but say bitterly: "It's just that now, what choice do we have?" ”

Yes, as soon as the imperial army arrives, it will have a great impact on the morale of your own army. Don't look at the loyalty of his father and old generals, but it is based on the meritorious service and the promotion of officials, if he directly rebels against the imperial court, I am afraid that most of them will be dispersed immediately.

"It's okay, today, the forces are divided into four parts, and it is still unknown what will happen in the future. And don't forget Yulang, most of my subordinates are from Shui Kou......" An Ge continued to persuade.

That's right, Shui Kou, if you want to be a thief, you must not be enough. For them, rebellion or something is not a matter at all.

"Yulang can be in a hurry, and he is good at words, and there must be people who are willing to die to the left. If you don't want to stay, you can get together and disperse. And we can gather the remaining tens of thousands of water army, relying on Yunmengze's geographical advantages, self-protection is completely more than enough, we can use Yunmengze to develop steadily, waiting for the opportunity to wait for revenge. Since the imperial court is unwilling to give Yulang justice, let's find it ourselves. Since ancient times, filial piety has come first, and Yulang's move is to endure humiliation and burden, and it is by no means a big rebellion. Even in the history books, Yulang will not be labeled as a traitor. Yulang, a person in a high position, should be decisive, act decisively, and if he hesitates, he will miss the best opportunity, this decision, he can also collect the materials of Xiakou......"

The meaning of these words is already obvious, it is impossible for Xiakou to hold it, the foundation is too shallow, and the people are not attached. Isn't it the same as a target for such a big city as a huge city? Only by going deep into Yunmengze can we preserve our strength, survive with the help of geographical advantages, and look for opportunities to make a comeback.

Regardless of An Ge's persuasion, Sun Yu still hesitated a few times, this is also human nature, once he does this, it is equivalent to complicity in rebellion, such a major matter, it is so easy to make a decision?

It's just that An Ge hasn't been a fool for so long, how can he confiscate a few cronies? However, a few old generals entered and swore to the death to avenge General Sun Shouyi.

"I see." Sun Yu took a deep breath, opened his eyes again, and said: "The revenge of killing my father cannot be avenged, call all the generals of my father's department, if you want to leave, you can't stay, so that you can gather and disperse......"

On that day, Sun Yu didn't want to pay attention to the tedious things, and led some soldiers and horses out of the city to go deep into Yunmengze. And An Ge took over the follow-up work, and directly sent troops to forcibly seize the property and materials in Xiakou City, and the big families in the city naturally suffered first.

In addition, An Ge even coerced many people to go with him, especially women.

An Ge thought clearly, a group of water cowards, if they want them to be honest, it is indispensable to use both soft and hard. While strict military law increases rewards, women are the best regulators.

Is it ruthless? Looking at the group of women who were crying and being driven away, An Ge was unmoved. In fact, the reason why Zhou Shaoyu was not chosen in the first place was that there were too many capable women around Zhou Shaoyu, and there was also this point, thinking that Zhou Shaoyu's woman's kindness was not ruthless enough!

If you will succeed and your bones will wither, and you will become a great thing, isn't it a constraint to be afraid of this? The name of benevolence is useful, but it is also a burden. The so-called gentleman deceives him, and this sentence can also be used here.

In other words, Ange's concept is fundamentally different from Zhou Shaoyu's.

Don't look at the helplessness of being forced into Yunmengze this time, but An Ge doesn't feel that there is no chance. That's right, Jiangxia is gone, but it doesn't matter, the weight of Jiangxia lies in the sailor, and the weight of the sailor lies in the warship. And Jiangxia's warship has long been held in Ange's hands.

As long as there are these warships, then at least they will be invincible in the Yunmengze area!

The sailors of the Great Liang court were at sea, not to mention the whip commander, and they were not very familiar with inland water warfare. And the re-establishment will not be able to do it at all in two or three years. Two or three years later, An Ge was confident that the combat power of his own sailors had been further improved, and it was impossible for him to defeat a new army.

And Xiao Jiwen has no water division at all, unless Sun Shouren directly participates. But even so, it doesn't matter, in terms of familiarity with Yun Mengze, who can compare to Shui Kou, who begged for a living in this body of water, and Sun Shouyi, the old general who once suppressed Yun Mengze? Otherwise, it would not be that after Sun Shouyi's death, the originally almost traceless Shui Kou would be rampant again.

There are 30,000 sailors in Tanzhou, but it doesn't matter, it's still the sentence above, Yun Mengze is their home field.

It is precisely because of this that it is good to gather and disperse? Hehehe, put back the old general who is unwilling to continue to follow Sun Yu but is extremely familiar with Yun Mengze, is it possible?

Turning his head to look at the fire somewhere in Xiakou City, An Ge shook his head, this kind of thing, naturally there is no need to let Sun Yu know.

Sun Yu made a thorough decision and acted on his side, but Sun Shouren, on the other hand, was even less in a hurry.

It is true that the actions of the Great Liang army have clearly given up on Sun Shouren, but this does not mean that his situation is more dangerous, and it should be said that it is safe in the short term.

Xiao Jiwen occupies Gangneung City and occupies Nanjun, and where is Nanjun to the east? It's Jiangxia, it's Xiakou! This means that Xiao Jiwen is directly on the official border with the Great Liang Imperial Court!

In such a situation, who of the two parties would dare to move Xiangyang? Aren't you afraid of being picked up cheaply? He Xiangyang Jiancheng was heavily guarded, but it was not so easy to take, otherwise, how could Xiao Jiwen drag on until now.

In other words, Sun Shouren has more time to make a final choice. Of course, if he takes refuge in the Daliang Imperial Court, the longer it drags on, the more it will affect his status in Daliang in the future, but it doesn't matter, no matter what, it is impossible for the Zhennan General's Mansion to return to its original state, isn't it. Since the Sun family can continue anyway, why care a lot.

"Presumably I continue to wait and see, I'm afraid that Gao Yuyao guessed it." Sun Shouren smiled bitterly and said secretly.

Gao Yuyao's decision to directly send troops to accept eastern Jingzhou does not mean that she is ready to directly fight against Xiao Yuyao. In other words, Gao Yuyao expected that Sun Shouren would not vote for a while, and as long as Sun Shouren was still standing in Xiangyang, it would be equivalent to having a balance, so that Xiao Shouren would not dare to act rashly.

Don't look at the people who only have one city left, but the troops are not small, and they are all capable of fighting. In the case that Xiao Jiwen didn't have too many troops, how could she dare to bypass Xiangyang and fight directly with Daliang?

It can be said that up to now, the situation in Jingzhou has stabilized.

In the end, Xiao Jiwen occupied the eastern counties of Jingzhou, and Yuzhou Huofeng'an ate the northern two counties peacefully. And Tanzhou also successfully occupied Baling City. As long as the Liang Dynasty occupies the eastern part of Jingzhou, it is also the most strategically important city.

To be honest, if there is the most unstable place, then the only way to enter Yunmengze Sun Yu and An Ge is to enter it.

In addition, there is an army hanging alone. That was Moonno, who had been evacuated from Gangneung at the beginning.

Wen Nuo and Sun Yu fought a game, although there was no winner or loser, but the casualties were indeed a bit miserable, and more importantly, there was nowhere to go. Sun Yu evacuated, and Xiakou City was naturally taken over by the imperial army. Of course, there are several small cities around, but first, they can't afford to support the remaining nearly 30,000 troops, and secondly, when the imperial court's will arrives, what should they do?

As for going to Xiangyang...... I'm sorry, but I really can't get by.

In the end, he was the top strategist, and soon made the most sustained decision. After several contacts, he was temporarily stationed outside Baling City. The grain and grass needed were purchased from Tanzhou at a price higher than the market price. How to say that it is also with the Liang property that was carried out from Jiangling City, it is not worry-free in the short term, and when Sun Shouren has a letter, I will talk about it.

For Tanzhou, this move is not a loss, first, to make money, and secondly, to take the opportunity to gradually invite Wennuo and his soldiers to buy the hearts. Everyone will cherish their talents, and if they can let Wen Nuo defect, they will not lose at all.

Jingzhou has changed again and again, and finally settled down for the time being, and the most loss-making is naturally Sun Shouren, and secondly, it is Xiao Jiwen.

Mo Kan occupies a lot of territory, which can directly border the Great Liang Imperial Court, which also means that the troops are restrained and cannot move at will. It's good to say if the whole territory of Jingzhou is taken, but if this half of Jingzhou is not enough, what's the use? If it weren't for picking up a Jiangling for nothing, I'm afraid it would be a big loss.

"Presumably Xiao Jiwen is very unhappy now." Zhou Shaoyu chuckled lightly and smiled at Da Qiao, who relayed the situation in Jingzhou.

Da Qiao pursed her lips and smiled, and she didn't say much, she didn't recognize Xiao Yao, she really didn't have any senses.

"Gao Yuyao is still powerful in the end, and the pursuit of balance can be described as the pinnacle." Zhou Shaoyu opened the map of Jingzhou, and the more he looked at it, the more he sighed.

To the east of Jiangling is the boundary of Yunmengze, and Xiao Jiwen has no sailor, so it is impossible to fight with Daliang from here, not to mention that Sun Yu or more accurately An Ge is also dishonest. It is equal to this area, which naturally forms a buffer between Xiao Jiaowen and the girder.

And to the north, the partial life is going to set up a Sun Shouren to stand in Xiangyang and stand still, and it is not not a fight. Let's fight, if you win, it will be a miserable victory, how will you confront Daliang in the future. If you don't fight, do you really go around and fight directly with the girder?

In this way, the form of Jingzhou seems to be complicated, but it is more stable. Unless Xiao Yuwen develops more troops, or surrenders Sun Yu, or Sun Shouren......

Hawkers, it's impossible for Sun Shouren, otherwise people would have voted a long time ago, so why wait until now.

"We have to find a way to break the situation, it's so smooth, it's not good for us." Zhou Shaoyu touched his chin and pondered. "Moreover, once Jingzhou is stable, for Gao Yuyao, there are only two places that need to spend energy, one is to support Silla, and the other is ......"

Zhou Shaoyu looked at the South Vietnam region, and it seemed that it would not be so peaceful.
