Under the sun, the army poured into Shou Chuncheng like a tide, and the banners of Jia Zi were waved in the wind, showing that the place had changed owners. The news of Qiao Rui's retreat did not hide from the ears and eyes of Jiangnan, and more than 10,000 troops evacuated with food, armor and other materials in Shouchun City, and the momentum was huge even if it was more than ten miles away.

Tang Gaoming and others sent troops to intercept and kill, but they were intercepted by Sun Ce's subordinates, who had been waiting for a long time. So in vain, he watched them leave and retreat to the territory of Yuzhou.

Jia Nian stood on the tower of Shouchun, and there was a trace of emotion in his heart.

This city determines not the fate of a city or a county, but the general trend of Jiangnan and the Central Plains.

Shouchun is equivalent to a door, and only by opening this door can you enter the Central Plains and gallop the world. On the contrary, if this door cannot be opened, then even if Guangling is captured, it will not be able to hold it for a long time.

In the face of the attack of Xuzhou soldiers and horses and Shouchun's soldiers, Guangling could not stand at all. But with Shouchun, the situation is very different, with the Lujiang River on the left and Guangling on the right, backed by the Yangtze River. A stable area, formed just in the rear.

As for why Guangling was divided into Xuzhou, it was because of the need to limit local forces. Let the states be intertwined and check and balance each other.

The three form a corner, although Shouchun is the most important, but the remaining two are also indispensable. Even if Guo Dapang didn't capture Guangling, he would have sent troops to attack after annexing Jiujiang and Lujiang counties.

From this moment on, the situation in the Central Plains and Jiangnan will undergo tremendous changes, only Jiangnan will send troops to the Central Plains, and it is impossible for the Central Plains to cross Shouchun and Guangling to attack Jiangnan. The heroes are still fighting each other, but they have taken the lead in obtaining a stable foundation. So where should it be next? Central Plains?

A question arose in his heart, and Jia Nian fell into thought.

The chat window appeared out of thin air, and Guo Dapang's handwriting was revealed.

"How's it going?"

"The army has moved into Shouchun"

"Shouchun has beaten down?"

"Qiao Rui took the initiative to withdraw the army, and it can be said that the soldiers took it without blood, but the food and armor and blades in the city were almost emptied by them. I urgently mobilized materials and transported them to Shouchun."

Jia Nian replied in the chat window.

Guo Dapang asked in the Guangling County Mansion at the other end of the chat window.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Recuperate for a while"

"Can I understand that you didn't really think about it?"

"So to speak"

Jia Nian stood on the city tower and had a bird's-eye view of the entire Shouchun City, falling into a brief confusion. If you attack Jiangnan, you want to get Yangzhou, and you want to take Shouchun. But when all these goals were achieved, it seemed a little overwhelming. What's next? Where will your sword be pointed?

Xuzhou has already negotiated peace with itself, there is no threat to the east, and it is not suitable to attack Xuzhou. After all, reputation is still very important in this world, and if you don't follow the most basic rules, there is a high possibility that your subordinates will deviate from morality.

Secondly, Shouchun has been taken, Yuan Shu is too busy to take care of himself in Yuzhou, and he is powerless to touch Yangzhou. will even worry about their own active invasion, so even if they repel the soldiers of Jingzhou, they can only make a passive defensive posture.

As for attacking Jiaozhou, it is only necessary to increase the troops of Deng Dang's department and unite Jingzhou to go south together. You don't need to waste too much energy and focus too much on this matter.

Maybe Liu Biao in history lost himself like this! Sitting in Jingzhou at a loss, he didn't know where the sword could point, and finally all the foundation fell into Liu Bei's hands.

Hit Yuzhou? Once Yuzhou is attacked, Jingzhou and Chongzhou will get a piece of the pie.

There is Cao Cao in the north and Jingzhou in the south.

With the covenant in hand, the attack at this time will inevitably lose morality, and it may face the combined forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and Jingzhou will inevitably waver in his heart when he sees that he is not taking the covenant properly. Cao Cao is taking advantage of the situation to send envoys, so Jingzhou will move eastward, how can Yangzhou resist at that time? And Xuzhou will also have some changes, so it will fall into a crisis.

This is a stalemate, or rather, the development of one's own power has reached a bottleneck.

Guo Dapang, who was at the other end of the chat window, also felt the situation facing Yangzhou, and said on the chat window after being silent for a while.

"Why don't you go all out overseas? When the situation in the world changes, it is not too late to attack the Central Plains."

"Waiting for the battle of Guandu? Do you think the Battle of Guandu is still possible now? ”

"If you are only in Jiangnan, you may be able to survive until the Battle of Guandu breaks out, but now that you have occupied Shouchun, the impact on the situation in the world cannot be ignored. According to Ben Da Fat's inference, it is possible that the battle of Guandu will not break out."

"So what's next? It's not difficult to fight Yuzhou, but the difficult thing is what happens after Yuzhou is defeated."

"Ask Liu Ye, ask Lu Su"

Guo Dapang touched the back of his head in distress at the other end of the chat window, it is still good to be a superintendent, it is too nerve-wracking for a military advisor or something. Let's go back to Yizhou after a while! The Central Plains is not suitable for the Pontus.

The chat window disappeared, and Jia Nian looked at this Shouchun City with a sad face. It should be a good thing, but losing a big goal can be a little scary.

"What does the advisor think we should do next?"

"The internal armor repair soldiers appeased the people, absorbed the benefits of overseas, and strengthened Yangzhou and Guangling County"

"Accumulate strength to sit and watch the world"

"When the big change happens, the army is divided into three routes, all the way to Xuzhou, all the way to Yuzhou, all the way to Chongzhou, then you can sit in Yangzhou and occupy the Central Plains"

Liu Ye's eyes flashed with expectation.

The lord sits in Yangzhou and holds Guangling, and has initially possessed the qualifications to chase the deer. As long as the foundation is stable, no matter how the general trend of the world changes, it will not hurt the fundamentals. In the past, I had to maintain the pace of expansion in order to survive, but now I can slow down.

"Wait?"

"This is the safest way for the lord to do so far"

Jia Nian was silent.

Liu Ye's lips moved, and he prompted Jia Nian.

"The war is about to be over, and the lord has one thing that may need to be dealt with"

"What?"

"Go back to Anhui County"

"Anhui County?"

Jia Nian didn't know why there seemed to be a string in his heart that was plucked fiercely.

looked around, and finally looked at Liu Ye.

"After everything is dealt with, I should go back to Anhui County"

"Well, according to what the military advisor said, sit back and watch the world. The herd of Benzhou wants to see how Yuan Shu and Cao Mengde's generation will react."

Speaking of this, there was a sense of pride in his heart, and Jia Nian's eyes were sharp. But there is another thing in my mind, what will be waiting for me in Anhui County? What kind of surprises can the identity of Jia in Anhui County bring.

When the thought fell, he turned around and walked down the city tower, just like playing chess, he had already fallen, and the general trend of the world would also change dramatically. With Zhou Yu's wisdom, he may have made a strategy to deal with it. As for Cao Cao, I'm afraid that his reaction will be faster and more fierce than them.

Is this a metamorphosis? The transformation from a chess piece to a chess player.

After all, it used to affect only the interior of Yangzhou, but now it can affect the pattern of the world.
