Suningbo stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the map.

Compared with the continuous stalemate inside and outside Xiaguan, the imperial court recovered Long'an Mansion to the west, and attacked the garrison of Lianghu to the east, and defeated Kuizhou Mansion, connecting the two lakes, and transferring Yiling's troops to the upper reaches one after another, preparing to continue to press forward.

The three lines were pushed together, and Boryeong, who was sandwiched in the middle, was extremely uncomfortable.

According to the information of the spies, Qiao Jing is very likely to abandon Baoning Mansion or even Shunqing Mansion, and redeploy troops to fight after retreating.

In such a situation, Su Ningbo should have been excited, but he couldn't be optimistic.

He knew that Jiang Muyuan was not alarmist, there might be changes in Jiangnan at any time, and in order to guard against the East Rebellion, he didn't have time to spend it slowly on Qiao Jing.

Supposedly, this kind of progress is not slow now.

Blindly pressing forward in the army, not to mention whether the soldiers can afford to eat, the follow-up supply is a big trouble.

In the winter of Shudi, there is not much snow, but there is no shortage of rain, and there is a lot of fog, which makes the roads muddy and difficult to walk.

You can't be in a hurry, and you can't be in a hurry.

Su Ningbo raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows heavily.

In any case, it is better to force Qiao Jing to quit Baoning first.

Jiang Muyuan was not in Xiaguan at the moment, he fought Long'an with Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunqian, and stationed troops in Fucheng.

To the west of Long'an, most of them are the boundaries of the Qiang nationality.

In the previous life, the imperial court was at war with Shu, you came and went for several years, and after Qiao Jing's vitality was exhausted, the Qiang people raised the white flag without much struggle.

In this life, the news sent by Wang Lang recorded that when Qiao Jing was named the general of Zhennan, in order to establish his authority, he suppressed the Qiang people, so there were many suspicions between the two.

To deal with these Qiang people, instead of attacking with all their might, it is better to actively persuade them to surrender.

After communicating in the past few days, there has been a harvest.

But Jiang Muyuan will not relax his vigilance, once the Qiang people repent, they are easy to suffer from the enemy.

And if you want them not to dare to go back, you can only let them know that there is only one way to die with Qiao Jing, and if Qiao Jing suffers another big defeat, these wall grasses will know where to fall.

It was already late at night, and Jiang Muyuan was reading the news sent from everywhere.

Sun Bi died in the cellar, and the clan relatives were buried and buried, which in Jiang Muyuan's opinion, was not at all in line with the saint's character.

The saint retreated again and again, which shows that the clan relatives have given great pressure.

And the clan relatives are so tough, if you want to say that Sun Rui did not get involved, Jiang Muyuan does not believe it.

There are already a lot of contradictions between the saint and the clan, and Sun Rui's purpose is to make them more stiff, no matter what the saint wants to do, the clan will control the heavens and the earth, so that the saint hates the clan very much.

In this way, the clan relatives will never acquiesce to the Holy Lord giving the throne to Sun Zhen.

Because they have already offended the saint, even if they don't care about the inheritance of the throne, the saint will not let the clan become bigger, and as long as there is an opportunity, he will restrict the rights of the clan step by step.

And for the sake of "freedom", the clan relatives must compete for the first.

However, this matter is not a bad thing for Jiang Muyuan.

Having a force that can contain the saint is better than calling him Hu Lai, and the more mixed the water in the capital, the more Jiang Muyuan can do.

Jiang Muyuan also received some news from Wang Lang.

He left Xiaguan, Wang Lang has been on the road again, and it is not more convenient than before to transmit messages, and he can be simple.

Wang Lang hadn't explained his intentions, but Jiang Muyuan could guess it.

If the wealthy families and officialdom in various places are determined to follow Qiao Jing to rebel, then they will agitate to the end and coax out as much food as they can.

If the wall is grassy, the family with a thick family will be coaxed, and the family with a thin family will not be able to take care of Wang Lang's time and energy to visit.

He also wants to meet some people who don't look good at Qiao Jing, or even oppose them, either to win them over, or to talk about them.

What Wang Lang wants is to differentiate, to make the officialdom and the family banner clear.

On the case file he wanted to hand over to Qiao Jing, good things were the mainstay, and there was not much to talk about, which was enough to calm Qiao Jing's heart and make Qiao Jing agree with him.

Because, if there is success, there will be failure, if it is all good news, Qiao Jing will be suspicious.

Wang Lang took such a trip to find out the details of all places, and a large amount of grain and grass was transported to Qiao Jing's hands, of course, he needed a place to store grain.

Once Wang Lang informed Jiang Muyuan of the location of the granary, a surprise attack could cut off Qiao Jing's back road, and if he wanted to transfer grain from all over at that time, he might not be able to transfer much.

And if there is not enough grain and grass, how long can Shu last?

This is the method that Wang Lang thought of in order to pursue a quick victory, how to actually advance, and whether he can completely hide from Qiao Jing, it all depends on Wang Lang's mouth.

What Jiang Muyuan wanted to think about was how to break through the granary without exposing Wang Lang's nail.

Compared with Wang Lang, who was not suitable for the ups and downs of officialdom in his previous life and only knew how to deal with documents, he has grown too much in this life.

Such a talent should not be buried in Shudi, nor should it be easily sacrificed here.

However, compared to protecting Wang Lang, it is still the situation in Mingzhou that worries Jiang Muyuan more.

Zhao Fangshi was in the hands of Wu Ye at this time, but he was a gourd with a sawed mouth, as long as it was related to Sun Rui and Dongyi, he didn't answer anything.

What is certain is that he can speak different languages and have some contacts with Dongyiren, which has indeed made Dongyi have different hearts.

If it weren't for the fact that some forces were afraid of the warships in Zhenhaikou, I am afraid that they would have invaded the border long ago.

Wu Ye used some connections to make the part of Dongyi that opposed Xingbing gritted his teeth and persisted, but recently there was news that the two sides would take a step back and reach a consensus.

If you don't blindly bow down to your subordinates and don't take the initiative to send troops, then this step is to put pressure on the imperial court.

Send envoys to negotiate conditions, if the court does not, it will face war.

The letter of the fifth master was written very bluntly, what Dong Yi wanted to put forward was by no means a painless request, their fundamental purpose was to start a war, and take advantage of the lack of skills in the imperial court to bite a bite of meat from the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise the imperial court agreed to take advantage of the situation, once they were freed from Shudi, they would definitely have to clean them up.

At the moment, what Master Wu can do is to delay the time as much as possible, and second, to make their conditions as acceptable to the imperial court as possible.

In this way, through negotiation, it is possible to make it impossible to fight before the beginning of spring next year.

Jiang Muyuan knew that Master Wu had already tried his best, otherwise the situation in Mingzhou and Dongyi would not be what it is now.

If it hadn't caught Zhao Fangshi, maybe Dongyi would have called.

And the fifth master is operating, Sun Rui can't be arrested, he has been plotting in the east for several years, even if Zhao Fangshi is missing, there will be other means.

To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of competing everywhere.

The best situation is that Dongyi's internal turmoil is unclear, and he will make trouble for a month or two first, if not, it depends on how the other party puts pressure.

In the month of Layue, Dongyi handed over the documents to Beijing and submitted them directly to the court, but there was no scripture Yingdian.

The saint opened it and looked at it, the smile on his face disappeared little by little, and finally raised his hand and threw the document on the ground, so startled that the courtiers knelt down together, not daring to speak easily.
