It seemed that he was aware of the complexity of Qin Zaidao's complexion, and Jiang Feng's expression slowly became serious, "Zaidao, isn't it a little difficult to accept?"

The generals in the hall are all core members of the Gushi Army, and although the Gushi Army did not directly participate in the battle of Daliang and Nanyang, the entry of the Gushi Third Army into Gwangju has proved that many things are not something you can get rid of if you want to. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Now there are three armies stationed in the city of Gwangju, nominally the Gushi Army controls Gwangju, but Liu Xuan's 2,000 infantry troops are also stationed in Gwangju, and Huangzhou's 1,000 cavalry is also stationed in Gwangju.

For a small force like Gu Shijun, the more chaotic the situation and the more complex the relationship, the more it can live in it, Jiang Feng has already told the generals that if there are really only a few big feudal lords left, then there will be no room for a small force like Gu Shijun to survive.

Qin Zaidao noticed that the eyes of the other generals were focused on him, and he shook his head with some difficulty: "It's just that the feeling is a little big, well, it feels like this world seems to have changed too much, today's enemies, tomorrow's friends, today's staggered, tomorrow's swords will greet each other, do we and other martial artists have to adapt to this change?"

Jiang Feng couldn't answer this question for a while, but he knew that if he didn't answer this question well, it would also have some impact on the generals' mentality.

It may be tactically feasible to not tire of deceit, but this kind of behavior of today's enemies and tomorrow's allies, today's arms and tomorrow's backstabbing is still difficult to accept in this era, especially for warriors who are influenced by traditional mentality.

"Besides, sometimes in order to survive, we may have to do something that may be emotionally difficult to accept, but I want to emphasize that we have the bottom line of our solid army and will not take the initiative to break the covenant. Nanyang is not our ally, and the relationship between Nanyang and us is just a pure exchange of interests, otherwise, Liu Xuan would not have known the importance of Gwangju to our Gushi Army, and disregarded our feelings, and directly stationed troops in Gwangju, and the allies would not have done this. ”

Jiang Feng pondered his words for a moment and continued to elaborate.

"At the beginning, Nanyang gave us assistance, not because of how good we were, but because it needed us to balance the impact of Caizhou's annexation of Gwangju on its eastward expansion strategy, since Liu Xuan's annexation of Shenzhou, in fact, he determined that he wanted to become the overlord of the two provinces across Shannan Dongdao and Huainan Province, and now all he has to do is to advance the steps according to his set goal. ”

"My lord, do you mean that Nanyang has already had such a plan?" Ju Shen couldn't help but interject and asked.

"Yes, the annexation of Shenzhou is only their first step, and this is also a reasonable division of labor that Liu Tong and Liu Xuan have done for their future hegemony. Ju Shen's fun was just right, Jiang Feng nodded, this was assisting himself in clearing the siege.

"You can see from the map that Nanyang took Shenzhou, maybe it can be said that Shenzhou was too weak, and it was annexed by the powerful Nanyang by surprise, but what about Anzhou? You must know that Anzhou and Canzhou have always been the sphere of influence of the Du family of Hubei and Huang, and the reason why the Du family did not annex Anzhou and Canzhou is largely because they feel that there is not much difference between Anzhou and Canzhou remaining in their original state and belonging to the Du family. The strength of the Anzhou army is not weak, just the state army has four armies of 10,000 people, and there are two armies of the tooth army, but the Nanyang southward army is only more than 20,000 people, and almost without a decent battle to take the entire Anzhou, the Anzhou Ya army is even more directly defective, and the Ehuang Du family did not even have time to react. ”

All the generals present were attracted by Jiang Feng's analysis, including Qin Zaidao.

"Let's take a look at the fact that after taking Anzhou, Nanyang has the opportunity to take Chuzhou together, but Nanyang didn't do it, but deliberately waited for the Ehuang family to send troops to Canzhou, and even the Ehuang Du family sent troops to Canzhou and caused some local riots, it's really unimaginable, the foreign Nanyang army invaded Anzhou, and the soldiers took it bloodlessly, and the Duzhou family, which has always been under the control of the Du family, will fiercely oppose the Du family's preventive advances, isn't there anything worth studying here?"

"My lord, it seems that Nanyang has been in Anzhou and Chuzhou at least many years ago. Yang Kan also continued: "In addition to this reason, it is difficult to explain the strange performance of Anzhou and Chuzhou. ”

"Yes, we all know that Anzhou and Chuzhou are the Du family's sphere of influence, and even as far as I know, in order to deal with the Xiangyang Xiao family in the south, Nanyang even has eyebrows with the Du family of Hubei and Huang, hoping that the Du family can exert pressure on Yingzhou in Xiangyang through Anzhou, although the two families are not aligned, but in fact, they are no different from allies, but in a blink of an eye, Nanyang slapped the Du family hard, which is why this time the Du family was angry, and would rather give us such a big support than destroy Nanyang's plan to defeat Cai, because the Du family knows that once Nanyang and Daliang join forces to defeat Cai, not only Caizhou will be finished, but their Du family will not be better, and it can even be said that the destruction is imminent。 ”

Jiang Feng's point of view shocked the hearts of the generals present, if the Du family did not have a good life, this is understandable, but the destruction is imminent, it seems to be a bit exaggerated.

"Everyone must be a little incomprehensible, in fact, if you look closely, you can see that I just said that Nanyang has a chance to take Chuzhou but not take, why? They need to leave an introduction, forcing the Huang Du family to have to station a large army in Canzhou, and the situation in Canzhou can also be seen by everyone, the land is narrow and flat, and it is in a low downwind position, once the Nanyang army launches an attack, Cangzhou will be in an absolutely disadvantageous position, but if the Ehuang does not garrison the army, you will be equivalent to taking the initiative to give up the city to Nanyang, and the Ehuang will also lose the bridgehead north of the river and south of the Hanshui. ”

Jiang Feng also seemed to have a temperament, and his tone became more excited, "Now that Liu Xuan is leading the army to attack Cai, I judge that he doesn't even want to share a spoonful of Caizhou, but wants to hone the army through Caizhou, and also form a more stable alliance with Daliang, and then exchange Daliang's support for its expansion to the east and south through Caizhou, which is also in line with Daliang's strategic intentions." Daliang took Caizhou, made up for this link, and became a well-deserved overlord of the Central Plains, and Liu Xuan could go south from Gwangju, advance eastward from Anzhou, annex Huangzhou and Qizhou in one fell swoop, and then get involved in Shouzhou and Shuzhou, the Huai River may become a natural dividing line between Daliang and Liu Xuan, this is Liu Xuan's hegemony strategy, but we are in the way of his hegemony strategy, so he will not hesitate to kick us away. ”

As Jiang Feng's fingers moved on the slightly rudimentary but grand map, the generals' gaze had moved from the westernmost Sui Prefecture to the east, beyond Shenzhou, Anzhou, Gwangju, and Huangzhou, and to the easternmost Qizhou, and then Shouzhou and Shuzhou.

If it is really as Jiang Feng said, then a feudal lord who spans the entire Shannan East Road and Huainan Province and dominates such a vast land between Huaishui and Jiangshui will be presented in front of him.

It can be said that most of Huainan Province will fall into the hands of Liu Xuan, and even once Liu Xuan becomes a momentum, it will not be difficult to take advantage of the situation to go east in the future and take Luzhou, Haozhou, Hezhou, and Chuzhou.

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, judging from the current situation, it seems that this is indeed the case, Nanyang has taken the first step and annexed Shenzhou and Anzhou, Gwangju is also between the two, once the war is successful, Gwangju is bound to be in its hands.

However, the weakness of the Du family in Hubei and Huang is weak, and everyone thinks that it is a matter of time before the two states of Qi and Huang change hands, that is, it depends on whether the Du family can rely on the river and the natural moat, as well as the advantages of the water army of the Huang and Du families to hold Ezhou.

"My lord, if it is really as you described, then Liu Xuan's climate has become a climate, and it seems that it is difficult for us to survive in Gushi, so there must be variables here, right?" Yang Kan asked first.

"Of course, the war itself is full of variables, just now is just the most beautiful vision of Nanyang I described, if it is really as Liu Xuan thinks, what are we doing here, just surrender immediately. Jiang Feng laughed, "Although Liu Xuan's ambition is good, there are still many obstacles and variables, the first variable is the Nanyang Army's journey to Cai, the Nanyang Army has not been sharpened by real war, how is its combat effectiveness, judging from the news obtained some time ago, I am afraid it is also unsatisfactory, the battle of Baigou City, the Nanyang Army surrounded Baigou City with superior forces, even though Baigou City is a strong city, but the Caizhou Army can hold on for many days and leave calmly, the combat strength of the Nanyang Army is doubtful. ”

"This is probably one of the main reasons why Liu Xuan wants to raise a large army to attack Cai, right? If an army is not tempered by thousands of tempers, it is difficult to become a weapon, Liu Xuan is a master in this, and he should understand this truth. Ding Man also answered.

"So we can't let it succeed in this step, otherwise if it succeeds in defeating Cai, our Gu Shijun will be kicked out by Nanyang, and everything we have paid before will become Liu Xuan's stepping stone. Jiang Feng said categorically: "Give it the necessary blow, make it difficult to achieve the full success, and then force it to give up Guangzhou, this is our purpose, of course, we can't let it fail miserably, the best result is to let it beat Caizhou to a pulp, and then fall short, so that we can easily win the time and space for development." ”

"My lord, even if Nanyang loses, Daliang may not lose. Xu Ziqing asked.

"On the Liang side, we have done everything we can, if God helps the Liang to destroy Cai in one fell swoop, we can only accept this reality, after all, this is not something we can change. Jiang Feng spread his hands, looking helpless, "It is up to people to do things, and it is up to heaven to do things, do your best, and obey the destiny of heaven." (To be continued.) )
