Section 8 Foresight, Near-term Worries
"Ziyue, you think about the problem too simply, the ant thief is gone, at a glance, it seems that we have gotten rid of the danger, but in fact, we are now in both internal and external troubles, I am afraid it is not easier than the ant thief besieging the city, and it may even be more dangerous.

Jiang Feng's words surprised Zhang Yue, and then he also calmed down and thought.
He also worked in the scout team, and his thinking was not narrow, but after he arrived in the Ya Army, he was not so sensitive to this aspect, and now that Jiang Feng intended to enlighten him, he naturally had to concentrate and think.
"Erlang, are you worried that these people in the city will have other ideas?" Zhang Yue was not stupid, and immediately thought of something.
Jiang Feng smiled bitterly, "It's not that they have other ideas, but the Yuan family is bound to take back Gushi." ”
Zhang Yue didn't speak, he hadn't thought about it yet, and he knew that Jiang Feng had follow-up words.
"When the Yuan family first entered Guangzhou, it was necessary to clean up some people to reward the gentry of the valve clan of Caizhou and South Chenzhou who provided full support for their Yuan family, over the years, the Yuan family went north from Caizhou to fight for Chenzhou, and took South Chenzhou from the hands of the Zhu family. With the support of materials, Nanchen Prefecture only governs three counties, and the state is no longer under the control of the Yuan family, and it is under the threat of the Zhu army at any time, and it does not gain much, so this time when it goes south to Guangzhou, of course, it is necessary to give an explanation to these Caizhou valve clans, so they have to use evil methods to drive away a large number of the original gentry and wang clans in Gwangju, otherwise how can they come to the land, mountains, forests, lakes and marshes, shops, and houses to thank these Caizhou lords?
The economic base determines the superstructure, even in this time and space where martial arts dominate and strength dominates.
Without a strong economic foundation, the gate valve cannot be called a gate valve.
Without the fields and forests, where will you have food to feed your soldiers? If you have no commercial business, where will you have the funds to raise military funds and build weapons and armor? Without financial support, how can the children of your clan learn literature and martial arts without worrying about food and clothing, and grow up to become talents? Without the support of a sufficient reserve of talents of your own, how can you control one side, whether in terms of military strength or government management?
Like the reason why the Yuan family was able to rise from Caizhou, in addition to the Yuan family's own talents, there are also local gate valves such as the Yuncheng Zhao family, the new Cai Xue family and the He family of Xiangcheng in South Chenzhou, which were newly included in the Yuan family, Zhao Qianshan and Zhao Jinyu are all from the Zhao family of Yuncheng, and Xue Tan, the flying horseman, is a child of the new Cai Xue family, and He Chong, who recently served as the secretary of the Gwangju Assassin History Mansion to join the army, is from the He family of Xiangcheng in South Chenzhou.
In a word, the rise of a gate valve must be supported by several local small gate valve families, they are either family friends, or community of interests, or in-laws, these gate valve families are entangled together to raise a top gate valve.
In Jiang Feng's view, although the Yuan family cannot be said to be the top valve clan now, it already has some different atmosphere, sitting on Caizhou, Guangzhou and half of Chenzhou, two and a half states, and all of them are the land of the Central Plains, and there is also the support of the Huaibei Dahao Shi family behind it, as if it can faintly compete with the other two top valve families in the Central Plains - the Bianluo Zhu clan and the Nanyang Liu clan.
In this case, I am afraid that the Yuan family will not be able to tolerate the grain of sand of Gushi resting under their eyelids, and it is the proper meaning to solve the Gushi army and take back Gushi.
"Yuan's use of evil methods to solve Gwangju has also brought a lot of negative results to Gwangju, and Gwangju's vitality has not recovered so far, but now they are afraid that they will not be like this with Gushi. First, there is only one county in Gushi, Yincheng is a small city, and the geographical location is far less important than Gushi, which can be ignored, secondly, Gushi is relatively far away, and thirdly, it is enough to reward the Caizhou valve clan in Gwangju, so there is no need to move the interests of the gentry in Gushi, so they will definitely use Huairou means to win over, in this case, Ziyue, what do you think Chen Wei will choose?"
Jiang Feng's words made Zhang Yue's back also ooze a cold sweat, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.
If there is no support from the local gentry, it will be difficult for the Gushi army to even collect enough food, and they are afraid that the army's will will be scattered, so they can't force the gentry to donate money and repay the service, right? Even if it can be done for a while, it is not a long-term solution.
What's more, the Yuan clan will not miss this kind of opportunity, but I am afraid that the army will come to the door immediately, and the inside and outside should be combined, and there is no need to say what the result will be.
Zhang Yue's face quickly turned pale, obviously realizing the seriousness of the problem.
Internal and external troubles, Erlang's words are indeed true, and it can even be said that this potential danger is even greater than the siege of the ant thieves, once the Yuan clan really does this, Zhang Yue is sure that the Chen clan will not hesitate for too long and will throw themselves into the arms of the Yuan family, and at that time, the Gu Shijun will immediately become a rootless duckweed, and there is nowhere to live.
Chen Wei is certainly friendly to Gu Shijun now, but in the face of the interests and safety of the people of the clan, any personal feelings can only be put aside, which is the same for everyone.
If you want the Chen clan to stand on the side of the Gu Shi Army, unless you can make the Chen clan believe that the Gu Shi Army can ensure their interests and protect their safety, but now the Gu Shi Army obviously can't do this.
"Erlang, what should we do now?"
"Well, the situation is a bit dangerous, and we won't have much time left. Jiang Feng has also been thinking about this issue, "Our own strength is not enough to compete with the Yuan family, and we need foreign aid." ”
The crisis of the Yuan family cannot be avoided, no matter who it is, in this case, it is bound to take back the solid beginning.
Gu Shi wants to rely on the Du family to fight against the Yuan family, but now it is not feasible, the ant thief leaves Guang and Cai Erzhou, as long as the Yuan family has his hands free, he will immediately solve the problem of Gu Shi, in this case, the Du family will have the courage to go north to defend Gu Shi, and for this reason, he will not hesitate to completely break with the Yuan family? Jiang Feng did not believe it.
Du Li may have some willingness, but it is mixed with his personal intentions, but his status in the Du family is not enough, and it is not his turn to call the shots.
"Du family?" Zhang Yue hesitated, "I think the strength of the Du family may be difficult to compete with the Yuan family, and the Du family also lacks this willingness." ”
"Well, the Du family will not completely tear their faces for Gushi and the Yuan family, in the eyes of the Du family, even if they lose Gushi and Yincheng, their Du family occupies the benefits of the three passes of Dabie Mountain, the Yuan family is unlikely to go south in the short term, and the Yuan family also needs time to digest Gwangju, so to be precise, the Yuan family is not a big threat to the Du family. Jiang Feng analyzed word by word: "Gushi and Yin Cheng were originally equivalent to the Du family's easy pickup, and it wouldn't be too painful to lose them, so if they directly confront the Yuan army, the Du family may not do it." ”
