Like a beast trapped in a cage, Yuan Wuwei's neck burst with green tendons, pacing back and forth in the hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Saburo, calm down,......"

"No, Uncle Qing, I can't calm down, we can't lose this opportunity, once Jiang Feng gets Xuzhou, we will be surrounded into a cage and trapped in a beast!" Yuan Wuwei subconsciously shook his head, "We must not let Jiang Feng succeed!"

Sighing softly, of course Yuan Huaiqing can understand Yuan Wuwei's excitement, if Xuzhou is obtained by Huaiyou, Huaibei and Huainan are connected, its momentum will be uncontrollable, this can be seen by everyone, but the question is can you stop it now?

Now the situation in Bozhou is only clear to him, the training envoy of the Yingbo regiment.

Although the battle against Bozhou was very smooth, and the loss of the army was not too large, the problem was that Bozhou was too big, spanning hundreds of miles from north to south, and the Caizhou army was already a little stretched to control the entire region.

Moreover, there is a strong resistance in Bozhou to Yuan's accession, and there are still many gentry who have a hostile attitude towards Yuan's accession.

In addition, there is now a great drought in the north, and it is expected that this year will be another year of great drought, and the two prefectures are short of grain, and the situation in various parts of the north is even worse, and the grain-producing areas south of Huaishui are either controlled by Huaiyou, or controlled by Nanyang, or ruined by the fierce battle between the ant thieves and Li Yu.

In particular, the scouts from all over the country reacted, such as the two counties of Chengfu and Linli in the central part of Bozhou, which were probably related to the influx of victims from the north, and it was not ruled out that some local gentry who were hostile to the Yuan family were adding fuel to the fire.

The situation in Yingzhou is also not good, the two counties of southern Yingzhou are controlled by Huaiyou, and the news from the feedback from the details shows that the number of Huaiyou troops stationed in Yingshang and Shangcai has been increasing, and even a cavalry army has been stationed in Xia Cai (Fengtai), which also caused Yuan Huaiqing's great vigilance.

Although Xia Cai is geographically far away from Yingzhou and Bozhou, it is located in the north of Huaishui, and it is only separated by a water from Shouchun, the base camp of Huaiyou, if the Huaiyou army wants to move on Yingbo Erzhou, it is very likely to attack from Xiacai, especially the threat to Shansang (Mengcheng) is great, because there is a flat river between Xia Cai and Shansang, and there is no river barrier, and the cavalry infantry march is very advantageous.

And once Shansang City is lost, then the entire southern part of Bozhou will have no danger to defend, and Nanyingzhou and Nanbozhou are connected together, if you add that the Huaiyou army is now attacking the southern part of Xuzhou, this is the same, the entire southern Huaibei can be said to be in the hands of Huaiyou, which Yuan Huaiqing absolutely cannot tolerate.

For Yuan Huaiqing, it is unacceptable for Xuzhou to fall into the hands of Jiang Feng, but if he is asked to ignore his own risks in order to avoid Xuzhou falling into the hands of Jiang Feng, and even risk losing the southern part of Bozhou to rescue, then he is even more unacceptable.

To put it mildly, Yao Chengtai himself is a wallgrass, and Xuzhou is also in a hostile state with Caizhou, and now Yao Chengtai feels that the situation is not good so he wants to ask Caizhou for help, which is clearly the idea of pulling his own side into the occupation, that is, to make it difficult for the Yuan family to get out of the war, and his heart can be punished.

Yuan is not so stupid yet, and he will not do things that are in the fire.

But what Yuan Wuwei said is also very reasonable, Xuzhou was obtained by Jiang Feng, and the strategic development space of the Yuan family was suddenly compressed, and there was no room for development to the east, otherwise it would only be able to fight with Huaiyou, and to the south would be with Nanyang, the overlord of Shannan Dongdao, and to the north and west?

"Saburo, the situation is not as bad as you think. Yuan Huaiqing said with relief: "The Yuan family should be more cautious at this time, not to mention whether Jiang Feng can get hold of Xuzhou, even if he really takes Xuzhou, we are not what you said to become a trapped beast in a cage, we all judge that the current situation of Daliang is very bad, although it can't be seen on the surface, but I believe that at least one or two years, at most three or five years, Daliang will have a big chaos, and we can completely enter the Central Plains......"

"Qingbo!" Yuan Wuwei also had to be polite at this time, and interrupted Yuan Huaiqing's words: "Entering the Central Plains is a later story, we have to consider Xuzhou first, Jiang Feng has Xuzhou, Huaiyou will form a strategic advantage over us, and it will also form a huge strategic squeeze on us, even if the Central Plains has a chance in the future, we will have to station heavy troops in the east to prevent the Huaiyou Army, and our strategic situation will become even worse!"

"But San Lang, you should also know the current situation of our Yingbo, we have used our old capital almost in this battle, Yingbo is not Shouzhou Luzhou, there is not so much accumulation, and it is impossible for us not to take precautions at all on the Caizhou side, in this case, how many troops can we draw up?" Yuan Huaiqing was not angry, he also knew that Yuan Wuwei was really anxious, and patiently explained: "Who is Yao Chengtai, we also know that if we are not forced to do it, how can he ask for us?" Pulling us into the game means that we have to work for him, and we have to be cautious about this kind of thing. ”

"What does Qing Bo mean that we just sit and watch Huaiyou take Xuzhou?" Yuan Wuwei stared at Yuan Huaiqing with burning eyes.

"I didn't say that, but we need to think long-term. Yuan Huaiqing shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not so simple for the Huaiyou Army to take Xuzhou, even if Yao Chengtai doesn't support it, will Shi Yu and Shang Yunxi be indifferent?

"Qingbo, we can't pin our hopes on those detached fools in Xuzhou, what others think is impossible, maybe it can happen to them. Yuan Wuwei insisted on his opinion: "We must send troops, even if we will take some risks." ”

Yuan Huaiqing did not object again, but thought in silence.

If you want to send troops, then you have to have a perfect strategy, you have to consider the defense of Shansang City, he has a feeling, Huaiyou will not just casually let the Caizhou army intervene in the war in Xuzhou, Jiang Feng must have an ambush, and the ambush will either fall in Shansang City, or Ruyin, he feels that Shansang is more likely.

Sending troops to Xuzhou, how many troops to send is also a problem, too little will not help, too much, Bozhou's defense system will seem hollow, especially Bozhou itself has not settled down now, it is indeed not a good time to send troops.

"San Lang, let's think about it again. "For a long time, Yuan Huaiqing said quietly.

Seeing that Yuan Huaiqing had the intention of compromise, Yuan Wuwei was a little more relaxed in his heart, and he was afraid that Yuan Huaiqing would refuse to send troops, and Xuzhou would undoubtedly be lost.

"Are you sure?" said the cycad took a deep breath.

Zhang Wanshan went to Xuzhou with Jun, and Su Tie was withdrawn back to Shouchun to sit at the headquarters of Wuwentang and take charge of the intelligence work of the whole army.

"Well, the news from many sources that the garrison of Shansang City has increased from one army to two armies, which is unreasonable, although the situation in the south of Bozhou is not very stable, but the situation in the city is still relatively good, and it should be the father of the city to increase the troops. Wu Wentang engaged in Shi Jian frowned and analyzed: "My subordinates feel that this is obviously an action against our Xia Cai army, but if they have no other intentions, why should they be so concerned about our garrison in Xia Cai? ”

"Anything else?" said the cycad rubbing his jaw.

"Well, the garrison of Linli has increased significantly, and heavy grain, grass and other supplies are being transported to Linli from Yuxian and Yongcheng, far beyond ordinary supplies, well, it is more like preparations before the war. Shi Lian's tone was even heavier, "To say that there are our people on the Linli side, the situation is unstable, and it is reasonable to say that the Caizhou army has increased its troops, but it has increased from one army to four armies, which is a bit excessive, and so many materials have been transported, it is not as simple as stationing, especially if you react carefully, there is also an army of cavalry and a large number of offensive magic equipment, which is even more strange." ”

The reconnaissance of the Caizhou army has always been the top priority of Wuwentang, even when Wuwentang is still facing the important task of collecting intelligence from the Xuzhou side, the reconnaissance of the situation of the Caizhou army has never been relaxed, and all the information about the military movement of the Caizhou army is listed as the first level.

"In addition to supplies, what about food?" asked the cycad very carefully.

"It's normal to replenish food, but Bozhou is already short of food, will it be ......" Shi Jian was also a little skeptical about this.

"If the Caizhou army wants to march into Xuzhou, it will definitely not be a sudden idea, well, under what circumstances do you think the Caizhou army will venture into Xuzhou when the situation in Bozhou has not yet stabilized?" asked Su Tie.

"It must have been stimulated by the fact that our Huaiyou Army marched into Xuzhou. Shi Lian replied immediately.

"What else about this? they, Caizhou Army, are so bold?" Su Tie shook his head slightly.

"What do you mean by an adult?" Shi Lian's eyes lit up.

Wuwentang was formed on the basis of the scout team under the jurisdiction of the earliest Gwangju Records Army, but the scale does not know how many times it has expanded on the basis of that small scout team, in addition to some old guys when Jiang Feng was still in the scout team, more of them were later recruited from the Dadao School, the Xuejun Camp and later some of the displaced people in Yingbo Prefecture, and sent out after training.

This piece has never been touched by anyone, except for Jiang Feng, even Cui Shang can't interfere with the work of this piece.

In other words, as the marching Sima, Cui Shang has the right to obtain the intelligence support of Wuwentang, but he has no right to interfere with Wuwentang's work arrangement, at most it is some directional suggestions.

It is precisely because of the independence maintained and the extremely young personnel structure that the phenomenon of seniority in the Wuwen Hall is much weaker than that of other departments, such as the military and government agencies, and everyone does not have so many scruples when studying and discussing work, and the atmosphere of expressing their opinions and speaking freely is stronger.
