Section 57 Recognition and Respect

Jiang Feng has never underestimated Caizhou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In his opinion, although Nanyang has a stronger economy, a larger population, and even a prosperous magic, its external ambition and expansion momentum, as well as its execution, are far inferior to Caizhou.

And Caizhou's concentricity, the army's combat experience and combat effectiveness improvement, are far better than the Nanyang army that has not been in a big battle, and this battle also confirms his views.

With Caizhou's current state, Jiang Feng believes that Caizhou's recovery speed is much faster than imagined outside, and it will also be far better than Nanyang, as for which direction they will choose to develop, Jiang Feng is more inclined to Yingzhou and even Bozhou in the east, rather than Shenguang Erzhou in the south.

The north of Caizhou is the big beam, with the current strength of Caizhou, it is impossible to challenge the big beam for the time being, even if the loss of the big beam this time is not small, but if you really provoke the big beam again, once the Great Jin and Taining army do not give strength, Caizhou will be in danger.

Similarly, in the current situation that Daliang lacks the willingness to take the initiative, as long as he does not provoke and stimulate Daliang, it is unlikely that Daliang will take the initiative to attack Caizhou in the same pattern as the Central Plains War.

Especially in the case that the three counties in the west of Caizhou are dilapidated and have no great value, and Yuncheng in the north is a hard bone that is extremely difficult to gnaw, Daliang's willingness to take the initiative to attack Caizhou is even weaker.

Let's talk about Shenguang Erzhou.

Shenzhou now belongs to Liu Xuan, but Liu Xuan and Liu Tong are brothers, breaking the muscles and bones and connecting the skin, it is Liu Tong who really saves Liu Xuan from danger when Liu Xuan is in the most dangerous time, if Caizhou wants to go south to take Shenzhou, it will inevitably force Nanyang and Liu to join forces again, and may even attract the interference of the Li family in Guanzhong, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Gwangju, judging from the current pattern, is temporarily controlled by the Gushi Army, but everyone can see that the main energy of the Gushi Army is still on the newly built Huzhou, and taking the three counties of Gwangju has no other benefits except for attracting the great hostility of the Gushi Army, especially when the Gushi Army seems to have won the double-headed approval of the Li clan and Daliang in Chang'an, and the gains and losses outweigh the losses if they complain about the Gushi Army, at least for the time being.

In contrast, the situation in Huaibei is intriguing.

Caizhou suffered from this catastrophe, and Huaibei never sent troops from beginning to end, even if Caizhou sent at least no less than three messengers for help, but the Shi family always excused itself on the grounds that ant thieves were raging and it was difficult for the probation army to draw troops.

That's it, after the Taining army invaded Songzhou, Huaibei couldn't wait to send troops from Xiao County to Songzhou to attack, and the shape of wanting to share a spoonful of soup was too explicit, which couldn't help but make Caizhou a little chilled and a little resentful.

In Jiang Feng's view, Caizhou is a typical example of only I can bear the people of the world, not the people of the world can bear me, Huaibei does this, which is undoubtedly the best excuse for Caizhou, but this is just an excuse, the most important thing is the current situation.

The three states of Yingbosi north of Huaishui have been stirred up by ant thieves, and Han Baling's department has crossed Luzhou into Shuzhou, and even some ant thieves have crossed the river into Xuanzhou to wreak havoc.

So far, the feudal clans have not yet seen what the intentions of the ant thieves are, but one thing is certain, the main force of the ant thieves will not gain a foothold in the three states of Yingbosi, otherwise the ant thieves will not stir up the three states of Yingbosi in such a locust-like way.

From the entire eastern part of Henan Province and Huainan Province and even the territory of the south of the Yangtze River, there are only two or three places where there is a king's spirit, first, Jiangdu, second, Jiangning, and third, Pengcheng, and then we can talk about Luzhou, Shouzhou and Hongzhou.

From a realistic point of view, it seems that the most likely place for the ant thief to choose is Shouzhou, followed by Luzhou, but Jiang Feng thinks that Shouzhou is the least likely between the two.

The number of ant thieves in Gain's current army is too much, even if you don't count the tens of thousands of people in Han Baling's department, the number of ant thieves in Qin Quan's headquarters alone exceeds 150,000, excluding the servant army, but its main army and elite strength are more than 80,000 people, which is not at all something that a small Shouzhou can accommodate.

It is also not something that Luzhou can accommodate, and even these two places together cannot support such a huge army.

And for these ant thieves, it is obviously impossible for Qin Quan to disband these brothers who have been fighting with them for life and death, and it may even be a mutiny, and it is obviously impossible for Qin Quan to cut off his wings like this.

So where will the goal of the ant thieves be, they can only aim at those three places, but Pengcheng is the old nest of the probation army, and the foundation of the Shi family is located, Jiang Feng judged that it would be difficult for Qin Quan to take Pengcheng as the foundation of his hegemony.

The rest are Jiangning and Jiangdu.

Jiangning is the original Huaixi Jiedu envoy, now belongs to a county in Runzhou, the whole Runzhou is rich, a typical land of fish and rice, business and trade are developed, but Runzhou is narrow, a state is difficult to feed a huge group of ant thieves, and another adjacent Jiangdu is more rich, the waist is wrapped around 100,000 runs, the reputation of riding a crane under Yangzhou has long spread all over the north and south of the river, Wu is the capital of this, the foundation of the country.

If it was an ordinary time, Qin Quan would rather touch Peng Cheng than dare to fight Jiang Ning and Jiang Du's idea, but now it is not easy to say.

The domestic situation in Wu has been unstable, this is not news, Yang Xingmi is eloquent, born in Luzhou, rose in Jiangning, and set the capital in Jiangdu, but his two sons are tiger fathers and dogs, and it is difficult to keep the foundation.

Fortunately, there are still many old departments of Yang Xingmi, although the ministers are in power, they have always been able to get along peacefully, but for more than a year, the domestic situation in Wu has become tighter, and Jiang Feng doesn't know if Qin Quan has also discovered this and wants to fight Wu Guo's idea.

Of course, this is just Jiang Feng's own speculation, and it is not ruled out that Qin Quan wants to take Shou and Lu Erzhou as his foundation, and then slowly plot the surrounding land.

But there is no doubt that the ant thieves will not stay in the three states of Yingbosi for too long, because there is no place for the ant thieves to eat in the three states of Yingbosi, and if it drags on, the ant thieves themselves will have internal strife for food, so Jiang Feng judged that Qin Quan would definitely leave these three states for a month or two at the least, or two or three months at most.

Either directly attack Xuzhou and Haizhou, where there are still places to eat, or go south into Huainan, where there are more places worth stopping.

Once the ant thief leaves Huaibei, the vitality of Huaibei is greatly damaged, especially Yingzhou, which is far away from Xuzhou, but is close to Caizhou, so it will naturally become the best place for Caizhou to set foot in, and it can also become the best springboard for Caizhou to reach out to Huaibei in the future.

Jiang Feng has also thought about this issue for a long time, but the general trend of history has deviated countless times, and Jiang Feng has no way of knowing what the future will be, so he can only ponder according to the historical trend and his own mentality towards the current vassals.

Seeing Jiang Feng's somewhat distracted appearance, Ju Hui was not angry, she knew that Jiang Feng was so busy now that he was even thinking about things when he ate and slept, and the command of the Gu Shi Army was full of people almost every day, and if he was not busy until late at night, he would not stop at all.

Now Ju Hui lives in the small courtyard of Jiang Feng's residence, of course, he lives in the next room, in order to protect Jiang Feng's safety, although Jiang Feng has also entered the stage of the Heavenly Realm Recuperation Period, and Ju Hui's martial arts skills are already on par, but in terms of experience in preventing assassination, Ju Hui is much richer.

gave Wu Feng a look, Ju Rui took Wu Fang and left quietly, leaving Jiang Feng alone in the courtyard thinking about things.

It wasn't until Zhang Wanshan's arrival that Jiang Feng woke up from his contemplation.

"Master Cui said that the envoy from Chang'an has already passed Gwangju and is on his way to Gushi. Zhang Wanshan bowed slightly, "Master Cui wants to ask you to go over and discuss the matter of welcoming the envoy." ā€

Huzhou has been approved by Chang'an and officially established, and the edict has been widely posted and publicized by Jiang Feng in Gushi, Yincheng, Shengtang, and Huoshan.

For the gentry and bureaucracy, this is undoubtedly a big event, but for ordinary people, they may not be able to leave the two hundred miles of their ancestors' residences in their lifetime, and they may not even have the opportunity to go to the county seat, so this kind of change in administrative division is really of little significance to them.

"Well, I see, it's over. Jiang Feng nodded.

"Erlang, do you need me to go?" Ju Rui had already changed his clothes and walked out.

Jiang Feng didn't want to bother Ju Rui, after all, it was just a few steps away in this city, and there were strict guards everywhere, if an assassin killer wanted to assassinate here, unless it was a Xiaotian master, I am afraid it would be difficult to escape.

But seeing the expectation in Ju Hui's eyes, Jiang Feng also knew that Ju Rui actually wanted to accompany him, thinking that she would be fine at home, so he nodded, "Then let's go together." ā€

From Jiang Feng's current residence to the commanding embassy's mansion, there are only less than 300 steps, an alley, and a bend away, and on this section of the road, three high posts have been set up to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the city.

According to the rules and regulations of the Gushi Army, the military commander, the military commander, the battalion commander, and the deputy envoy all have to live in the barracks on ordinary days, and only the commander and the deputy envoy can take turns to go home to rest between the commander and the deputy envoy on holidays, and this system can not only ensure that daily training and management are not affected, but also take into account the certain particularities of senior officers.

Even Jiang Feng himself spends more than half of his time in the barracks, and it is really because there are many things that need to be negotiated and coordinated with the local authorities that he has to work in the military command embassy, otherwise he would rather be in the barracks, at least his safety is more guaranteed.

"Bai Ling, who is the envoy?" When they came to the mansion, Yang Kan, Chen Wei, Xu Ziqing and others all arrived, and the high-level officials of the Gushi Army were undoubtedly extremely excited about the first time Chang'an came to Gushi, which meant a kind of recognition and respect.
