Pacing back and forth, Yang Wenchang was like a lion in a cage, and it took a long time to turn his head, "Da Lang, what do you think?"

"The thoughts of the Shatuo people are not easy to grasp, but judging from their situation, they have been stuck in Nanyang, and they are not even willing to patronize the surrounding counties, it seems that it is not a lie that the rumor that the epidemic has brought them a lot of trouble, maybe they are not even willing to ask for Nanyang?" The accumulation of these families of the Deng family for hundreds of years has been looted by the Shatuo people, and I heard that from Xiangcheng to Luyang Pass, the carts and horses stretch endlessly, and they travel for dozens of miles, and at this time the city of Nanyang Mansion is also empty. ”

"Dalang, Shatuo people value goods, they are not adapted to the climate and soil of Nanyang, but for us, goods are not important, we want territory, we want population. Yang Wenchang stroked his chin, "If we can take Nanyang, we will have another place to dominate, Nanyang is not much worse than Guanzhong, and if we win Nanyang, our influence can reach Jianghuai, where the population is often millions, which is much more fertile than Guanzhong." ”

"Father, do you want the third uncle to go east?" Yang Gongyan hesitated, "The little strength of the third uncle, whether it is to fight against the Shatuo people or Xiangyang in the south, is not enough. ”

"No, if we want to go, then we have to go openly, don't the Shatuo people just want to find an ally when they win over the Xiao family in Xiangyang?" Yang Wenchang showed a dark smile on his face, "How can the Xiao family compare with our Shannan Yang family? If he hands over Nanyang to us, we can help him share the pressure from any side." ”

"But the situation in Guanzhong is not yet clear. Yang Gongyan frowned, he felt that his father's appetite was getting bigger and bigger, Guanzhong had not yet been taken down, and he wanted to seek Nanyang, where did he deserve it?

"Da Lang, here in Guanzhong, the guys in Chang'an who are still in the dead have been in a panic all day, this court, we only need to let the party and the Uighurs go to get a duck, and I am in charge, it is enough. Yang Wenchang raised his eyes, "Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain, Nanyang is a hand that we go deep into the Central Plains, my father never thought that the Hu people could gain a foothold in the Central Plains, I judge that sooner or later the Shatuo people will have to go to war with Jiang Feng, and then we will be able to sit in Nanyang, and we will be able to go up and down." ”

Yang Gongyan is also a move, if the Shatuo people really want to start a war with Xuzhou, then Nanyang can be swallowed by the Yang family alone, and the surrounding forces of Nanyang are not strong, whether it is Xiangyang or Hubei Huang, or the remnants of Liu Xuanbu, the Yang family can take advantage of the situation to expand, it is really a rare opportunity.

"Father, will the Shatuo people accept us into Nanyang?"

"Da Lang is worried that the Shatuo people will be dissatisfied with our entry into Nanyang?" Yang Wenchang smiled: "No, no, Li Cunhou will not think so, we can enter Junzhou first, control Junzhou and then come according to the situation, once the Shatuo people start a war with Xuzhou, he will only hope that we will enter Nanyang to help them share the pressure, Li Cunhou knows that we and Xuzhou are not all the way." ”

"But what if the Shatuo people ask us to help them as a condition for handing over Nanyang to us?" Yang Gongyan then asked.

"Conditions? Hmph, you might as well agree first, the soldiers and horses are in our hands, whether we can send troops or not, whether we can help them or not, then we have to decide ourselves. Yang Wenchang said contemptuously: "For these Hu people, there is no need to consider the word Xinyi, if Xuzhou does not support, then of course we can join in, but if they are at a disadvantage, then we have to dig a piece of meat on him." ”

Yang Wenchang has long had the intention to intervene in the Central Plains, but because of his lack of strength, he has now defeated the Tubo people, and has the two arms of the Dangxiang and the Ganzhou Uighurs, and has firmly grasped the situation in Guanzhong, so he naturally has the ambition to set foot in the Central Plains.

"That being the case, what is my father going to do?" Yang Gongyan saw that his father had made up his mind, and he also felt that the Central Plains was indeed promising.

Both the Uighurs of Ganzhou and the Dangxiang people can be used as two guns to muddy the waters, whether it is for the Shatuo people or the Xuzhou side, if these two forces are used well, they can play an extraordinary role, presumably these two families have long been envious of the Central Plains, give them such an opportunity, they will definitely not give up.

"You immediately order the army to prepare, and I will send a letter to your third uncle to ask him to start preparing. Although Yang Wenchang said it very simply, he was very cautious in his actions, "From Wuguan to the past is the inner countryside, where is the springboard for us to set foot in the Nanyang Basin, you take the inner countryside first, and then observe the situation, I estimate that the Shatuo people will make a move, if they really want to evacuate Nanyang, they will definitely come to us to discuss, no matter what the conditions, agree first, as long as they can let us enter Nanyang." ”

"Then what if we send troops first?" Yang Gongyan frowned.

"Sending troops first, where to go, going eastward into Mizhou? That's good, but we have to ensure our own back road, just right, Jutan, Xincheng, Suixian, and Xinye have to control the line in our own hands, and we have to supply grain and grass, as long as the Shatuo people dare to guarantee us, we will dare to send troops!" Yang Wenchang smiled lightly: "So don't worry about this at all, the Shatuo people just want us to agree in the form of a written covenant, so what? What kind of morality do you talk about with the Hu people? Will they abide by the covenant?"

Yang Kan stood on the lookout, the Ice King Halberd resting aside, his hands behind his back, staring ahead.

Ruyang is in the southwest of Rushui, it is a famous city in the Central Plains, and it is also the nest of the Yuan family, it is not easy to conquer Ruyang, so the king of Song sent a letter to lead the Wuning army and the Huaiyou army to trap the Yuan army in Ruyang, and after he defeated Shangcai, he will come together to attack Ruyang City.

However, Yang Kan felt that there was no need to wait for the arrival of King Song in person, he had the confidence to take Ruyang City.

At present, the strength of the Yuan army in Ruyang City is indeed quite a lot, and only some of the Yuan troops who escaped from Miyang went to Xiping, and most of them entered Ruyang, after all, this is their lair.

Now the boss in the city is Yuan Huaifeng, as well as Zhao Tianshou and Yuan Wuving, and Yuan Huaiqing is said to have gone to Xiping.

Yuan Huaifeng's martial arts level is a few points stronger than Yuan Huaiqing, he is already a strong person in the middle of the small heavenly position, and he has always been the second person in the Yuan clan after Yuan Huaihe, plus the leader of the Zhao clan, Zhao Tianshou and Yuan Invincible, the strength of these three people is above the early stage of the small heavenly position, even Zhao Tianshou is also a strong person who has touched the threshold of the middle stage of the small heavenly position.

At present, the strength of the city is about 15,000 people in the six armies, but this is the Yuan clan's lair after all, and Yang Kan believes that as long as the Yuan clan starts desperately, it will not be a problem to raise a few thousand more men.

This is a battle for the survival of the Yuan clan, so any potential may be tapped.

King Song was worried that the troops on this side were insufficient and the strength was not good, so he wanted to wait, but since Yang Kan had full authority to command the battlefield on the southern front as a privy envoy, he felt that he could mobilize the resources of the entire southern front to fight this battle well.

And he thinks that it is not appropriate to drag on the war in Caizhou now, maybe the Shatuo people are just observing the situation, once they find that Xuzhou is also a little weak, I am afraid that they will immediately pounce on it, Shi Jingjiao's provocation in the north is actually a temptation.

Now that Nanyang has been broken, the Shatuo people are adjusting their deployment, once they are relieved, the situation will go in what direction, Yang Kan is not sure, if the Shatuo people really move eastward, this situation may get out of control.

Yang Kan judged that after the Shatuo people had gained hundreds of years of accumulation from the Nanyang Liu clan after laying down Nanyang, they might have two voices.

One is that after getting so much loot, it's time to go back and rest with the children.

Another possibility is that since the Central Plains is so rich, can it be better to fight two more battles and make more money?

At present, the two voices may be at odds, and Xuzhou is becoming more and more a fierce rival in the minds of the Shatuo people, so there may be disagreements about whether it is right or not, and Xuzhou will start a war immediately.

At this time, it is quite delicate, once the Shatuo people find out that Xuzhou has not been able to defeat Caizhou for a long time, maybe they will feel that Xuzhou is nothing more than that, and keeping Caizhou may still be able to cause trouble for Xuzhou.

Once this mentality is overwhelming, and they feel that if they start a war with Xuzhou immediately, they may lose a huge amount of money because of the lack of soldiers, then maybe the Shatuo people will really send troops in a big way.

Therefore, Yang Kan believes that this battle cannot be delayed, and that the Yuan army should be completely defeated in the shortest possible time with lightning speed, and break through Shangcai and Ruyang, especially Ruyang, which is the old nest of the Yuan family, as long as Ruyang is conquered, it can be said that the possibility of Yuan's resurrection is completely cut off.

The lack of strength in Xuzhou, which King Song was worried about, in the battle against Ruyang, could be overcome in Yang Kan's opinion.

Indeed, in terms of the strength in the hands at present, only the Wuning Army and the Huaiyou Army alone are certainly slightly insufficient, but if all the southern naval forces are transferred, the attack force can be greatly enriched.

In particular, the dragon cannon on the warship can attack after reaching the city of Ruyang along the Rushui River, which is a big advantage.

In addition, Yang Kan also prepared to order Liu Yong's troops, who had already captured Langshan and Zhenyang, to move closer to Ruyang and participate in the siege of Ruyang.

did not use Liu Xuan's forces, since Liu Xuan had sought the protection of Xuzhou, then the two sides should be in the same boat.

Yang Kan has no intention of letting the Nanyang Army act as the main force, and the Nanyang Army also has the strength of Meiyu, but Liu Yong and Liu Sen who cooperates with Liu Yong are both strong people in the small heavens, at least this aspect can help share the pressure, and at the same time, the Nanyang Army also has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and at least the leading role can be played.

Yang Kan has already passed on his opinion to the King of Song,
