Section 299 Speculation

Jiang Feng has already fallen into complicated affairs.

The court gave the marriage, the time is very tight, it may be considered by many factors, the tenth day of November is the wedding day, there are only more than two months left, and before that, all kinds of red tape must be walked.

There are also three other marriages involved here, the marriage with the Tuyuhun people, and the marriage with Liu Ji and Wei Chi Yanshan.

The marriage with Li Jin has given Jiang Feng a natural moral bonus, although the imperial court has declined to the point of not being able to achieve a climate, but in the fight for the hearts and minds of the people, this thing is still quite useful, even Jiang Feng is still reluctant to give up this moral aura.

Needless to say, the marriage with Bai Mulan, without the strategic fulcrum of the Tuyuhun people in the rear, whether it is for the Shatuo people or the Khitans, Xuzhou will have a lot of difficulty, and this influence can even extend to Wei Bo's side.

The marriage with Yu Chi Yanshan further brought the relationship between Xuzhou and the wealthy families in Guanzhong closer.

The families of the nine princes of Guanzhong are all in the same spirit, and the marriage between them makes them maintain a very close relationship, of course, there will be relatives here, but with the support of this large group, Jiang Feng will have an excellent Austrian aid if he wants to set foot in Guanzhong and Jiannan in the future.

Even if the Guanzhong Jiugongqing family was really uprooted by Yang Wenchang and the party members and the Ganzhou Uighurs, it would not be much of a loss to Jiang Feng, it was just a marriage.

Besides, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, even if Yang Wenchang and the party members can gain power in Guanzhong, with the foundation of the Guanzhong Jiugongqing family entrenched in Guanzhong for hundreds of years, how can there be some preservation?

In the future, the counterattack will be counted, isn't it also the best internal reinforcement?

In view of this, even if he knew that it might cause Li Jin's displeasure, Jiang Feng did not hesitate to agree to this marriage with the Wei Chi family.

Of course, with Yu Chi Yanshan's means, Jiang Feng also believes that she can coordinate and handle the relationship with Li Jin, and when reality comes, maybe Li Jin will also realize that having such a well-behaved and clever best friend as Yu Chi Yanshan is actually not a bad thing.

Jiang Feng's increasingly huge harem even Jiang Feng himself felt a little numb, but he was powerless to stop it, the foundation was too weak, so he had to use this means to consolidate his foundation, some things knew that they were not suitable, and even dissatisfied, but you had to accept it without hesitation.

First next, then later, this is the maxim that Jiang Feng has to recite to himself every day.

The marriage with Liu Ji is to get closer to the relationship with Nanyang Liu, this marriage is not very easy to evaluate, in Jiang Feng's opinion, it means little to it, Xuzhou no longer needs Nanyang's support, on the contrary, Nanyang needs Xuzhou's support more, but Jiang Feng admires Liu Ji very much, so he approved this marriage.

"Your Majesty, the entire territory of Yingzhou has been recovered, and at present, the Huaiyou Army has occupied Baoxin, Xinxi and Shangcai. Cui Shang hurriedly came in, "Yang Kan is currently leading a large army to assemble in Ruyang, while Liu Yansi's Ziqing Army Front has arrived in Yuncheng, and Yu Mingzhen is leading the Ya Army to approach Shangcai. ”

"The Shatuo people haven't moved yet?" Jiang Feng pondered for a long time.

"There has been no reaction yet, but the Yuan army has begun to evacuate Miyang and Fangcheng, shrinking back to Xiping, and they have even given up Wu Fang. Cui Shang shook his head.

"Why bother? Shatuo people really do it, such a loyal dog, give up when they say they give up. Jiang Feng also shook his head.

The Shatuo people got their wish and laid down Nanyang, Liu Tong and Liu Han are nowhere to be found, but there is no doubt that Nanyang Liu Tong's vein has been finished.

Although there are still the remnants of Liu Tong resisting in the inner countryside and Junzhou, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, judging from the current intention of the Shatuo people, taking Nanyang Mansion and seizing the materials and money that the Nanyang Liu family has accumulated for a hundred years is the biggest goal, Jiang Feng even feels that the Shatuo people are not very interested in Nanyang Mansion itself.

Maybe the Yuan clan saw this, so they wanted to make a desperate bet, thinking that since the Shatuo people had no intention of the southern region, if they became the loyal dogs of the Shatuo people, they might be able to get the entire Nanyang Basin from the Shatuo people?

If you can get the Nanyang Basin and take the Shen'an Qi and Huang Prefectures in the future, maybe the Yuan clan will really have a chance to become the new overlord.

It's a pity that the imagination is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel, taking Mizhou did give Liu Tong a heavy blow, and it hit Liu Tong's morale a lot, but the Caizhou army overestimated its own strength, and also underestimated its own decisiveness, and the result was that stealing chickens did not make rice.

"From the current point of view, it seems that the Shatuo people are not ready for an all-out war with us, or Li Cunhou has not yet made up his mind. Cui Shang further said: "The Xiao family has accepted our admonition, and they have agreed to remain neutral after taking Sui Prefecture. ”

"What about the county side?" Jiang Feng asked rhetorically.

"The Xiao clan still coveted Nanyang, and they may have sensed the fear of the Shatuo people for the climate in the south. Cui Shang explained: "Although the Shatuo people took Nanyang this time, their losses were not small, mainly due to the non-combat attrition brought to them by the epidemic, so after taking Nanyang, they were not willing to take the next step in Nanyang at all. ”

"But as the climate gets colder, they should get used to the winter here. Jiang Feng was still a little worried.

"Great King, not only the climate, but also the terrain, water and soil, food, etc., most of these Hu people have not stayed in the south, and even like the Hedong infantry led by the fifth son of the Guo family, they can't adapt to the water and soil here, and they have fallen ill a lot, and they have found that a large number of attrition soldiers have begun to return north to Henan. Cui Shang knew what Jiang Feng was worried about.

The whole of Xuzhou is judging the fighting spirit of the Shatuo people, that is, the possibility of them and Xuzhou immediately fighting or even fighting.

Entering autumn, it is often the most active season for the Hu people in the north, and it is also the time when the Hu people's iron cavalry combat power can be used the most, although they are not worried about Nanyang, but the risk from Puzhou and Caozhou to Songzhou and Chenzhou is infinitely increased.

What worries Jiang Feng even more is that if the Shatuo people really want to stand up to Caizhou at any cost, and they really can't destroy the Yuan family, then in the future, he is afraid that this unbeatable Xiaoqiang will have to respond to himself, which he does not want to see.

He still understands this truth if he doesn't die.

Now the Yuan army has fully shrunk back to the territory of Caizhou, Ruyang, Shangcai, Yuncheng, Xiping four counties, Xiping garrison is very small, negligible, but there is too close to Xuzhou with the Jin army, whether it is the Nanyang Liu Yong Department that has controlled Langshan and Zhenyang, or the Xuzhou army is impossible to set foot there, for Jiang Feng, it is to completely annihilate the Yuan army of Ruyang and Shangcai, as long as these two cities are taken, the Yuan army will be completely annihilated, even if this Caizhou he gives to the Shatuo people or Liu Yong, there is a chance to get it back in the future.

"Order Liu Yansi to throw away Yuncheng, go straight to Shangcai, and join hands with Yu Mingzhen to take Shangcai, Ruyang's side, and let Yang Kan trap the other party. Jiang Feng groaned, it is not easy for the Xuzhou army here, after this continuous war, everyone is also a little tired, but their own side is tired, and it is more difficult for the other party, as long as Caizhou is solved, they can win a period of recuperation.

"What if the Shatuo people surrender over there in Yuncheng?" asked Cui Shang worriedly.

"Hmph, it's good to surrender Shatuo, as long as the Yuan clan no longer becomes an independent force, he won't be able to turn the wind and waves, and with the performance of the Yuan clan over the years, I believe that Li Cunhou will stare at this family with a backbone in the back of his head at any time, and the smarter thing is to directly dismember the Yuan army and classify it into the Hedong infantry. Jiang Feng said lightly: "No one will trust this family, except for being used, the Yuan family will not get anything." ”

"But what if the Shatuo people don't want to see us destroy the Yuan clan?" Cui Shang asked again: "Shi Jingjiao and Zhu Mao's side are still facing each other, the situation is very tense, and Shi Jingjiao's department is unwilling to back down, if this side is stimulated again, a big war may really break out." ”

This is also what Jiang Feng is most worried about, the people of Shatuo are not happy, but why is it not difficult here in Xuzhou?

Not to mention the military resources and grain, this from the Heshuo Army, Ziqing Army, Ya Army, Wuning Army, Huaiyou Army are all involved in this battle, this is not counting the war of the Pinglu Army in Heshuo, it can be said that this summer is spent in the continuous war.

No matter which aspect it is, Xuzhou has also reached a limit, and if you don't pay attention to it, a little mess will bring unimaginable consequences.

Jiang Feng shook his head, "No matter what, this time we can't let the Yuan family survive anymore, Gu will go to Shangcai in person tomorrow, so as to go down with one blow! ”

Seeing that Jiang Feng had made up his mind, Cui Shang stopped persuading, indeed, he also realized the danger of Caizhou, and would rather be a little bitter at this time, and it would be better to eliminate this future trouble, than to have endless troubles in the future.

"The news from Weibo's side hasn't come back yet, is it ......?"

"Don't put pressure on it for the time being, Luo Shaowei is also an old man, he may not be able to see the situation clearly, but his sons are in the prime of life, and they should understand where the fate of the Luo family should belong. ”

Jiang Feng is more at ease about this, although Wei Bojun is slightly stronger than the Chengde army, but Luo Shaowei mainly relies on his sons to control the situation, and Wuwentang has already enveloped the Huang brothers to Xuzhou, so it can be said that the victory is in hand.

The situation in Heshuo is becoming clearer, unless Liu Shouguang immediately surrenders to the Khitans, otherwise he will take the entire Chengde army, and then the Wei Bo army and the Tuyuhun people will be able to deal with the southward movement of the Khitans.

Of course, the premise is to stabilize the Shatuo people on this side of the Central Plains, the question is whether the Shatuo people will be so honest? How can the Khitan people not see this?

Jiang Feng sighed slightly, there is never a time to stop.
