Countless chaotic scenes and faces alternated in Liu Xuan's mind, making it difficult for Liu Xuan to choose for a while. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Flagrantly marching into Caiju? Or raising your hand to get Gwangju?
Liu Xuan knew very well that the risk of entering Caizhou was infinitely expanded, but it was a good opportunity to break the situation.
Without effort, it seems that the benefits are huge but there is no damage, but once Caizhou bears the round of attack of Daliang, it is bound to make new demands on Gwangju, which will become a situation of insoluble grievances, and if he wants to develop in the future, he will be restrained by Caizhou at any time.
With Liu Xuan's understanding of Caizhou Yuan's family, he either has to beat Caizhou to death at once, completely cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so that he will never have a chance to turn over, and if he is not sure of killing him all at once, it is best not to touch the other party easily.
The eleven counties of Caizhou have fertile land, close to three million people, and even hundreds of thousands more than Nanyang Mansion.
According to the conditions of the Great Liang, the two families joined forces to destroy Caizhou, and the four counties of Zhenyang, Xinxi, Baoxin, and Xincai in the four southern counties of Caizhou belonged to themselves, and the seven counties of North Caizhou, Yuncheng, Shangcai, Ruyang, Pingyu, Xiping, Wufang, and Langshan returned to Daliang, and then the two families could join forces to launch an attack on Yingbo Erzhou in the future, Yingzhou returned to Nanyang, and Bozhou returned to Daliang.
Moreover, Daliang also vaguely revealed that he had already made a plan with Huainan, so that the Wu army would send troops to cross Huainan, and Sizhou and Haizhou would all return to Huainan, and strive to completely defeat and divide Huaibei.
It's just that such a beautiful sketch can only be heard, the situation in Huainan is chaotic, and it is still unknown whether Huaibei can send troops, and after taking Caizhou, it is also difficult to completely eliminate the influence of the Yuan clan in Caizhou.
Seeing that the lord sometimes had a hideous face and was waiting to make a decision, and sometimes he was struggling and entangled, and it was difficult to choose, the gray-robed Confucian also knew that this choice was indeed difficult to make.
The lord is a man with great ambitions, if he just wants to be a rich man, why do he need to go so hard to Shenzhou in the east and Anzhou in the south?
Now that the situation is so good, what I am afraid of is that the mentality of being rich and safe has risen again, always thinking about waiting and seeing, always seeing difficulties and not seeing the dawn, and then giving birth to lazy thoughts, in his opinion, that is the biggest danger.
It's just that acting cautiously for the sake of the superior is also the proper intention, and the gray-robed Confucian also knows that the perspective of considering problems is not the same with different identities, so he can also understand.
"Xuan Gong. ”
"Hmm, Thunder Dao?" As if he was awakened from a nightmare by a gray-robed Confucian, Liu Xuan shook his head and let out a long breath of turbidity, Liu Kui next to him also felt that his father seemed to be extremely tired, so he hurriedly served the teacup, and Liu Xuan took it and drank it all.
"Xuangong, I don't think it's as good as this, aren't you extremely optimistic about that Jiang Feng? Since this son is cunning, it is better to wait for him to leave from Wei Chi Wu's illness, quietly invite him to Xuangong, ask about the situation, and then make a decision. The gray-robed Confucian suggested.
"Okay, that's it, Kui'er, you take someone to wait in the place where Wei Chi is not sick, don't be discovered, lead Jiang Feng here, be careful not to conflict with him, just report my name, he will naturally understand." Liu Xuan nodded.
"Father, if he wants to run away, what should he do?" Liu Kui couldn't help but ask because he didn't understand how much attention his father showed to Jiang Feng.
In his opinion, a small character who has just entered the realm of heaven, a lucky person with better luck, if he wants to solve the matter of every minute and second, why should he be so solemn?
His father recruited him and looked up to him, how could he dare to take it?
"Hmph, if Jiang Feng is such a character, then he doesn't deserve to be in this position today, go ahead, get acquainted, and maybe there will be time to deal with him in the future." ”
Liu Xuan frowned and sighed, if his son wants to say that his literary talent and martial arts are not bad, but this character has learned the arrogance of his youth to the fullest, which is not a good sign.
At this time, the atmosphere in Huaiyuan Hall was solemn, like a stalemate.
Huaiyuan Hall is a private residence of Liu Tong, the envoy of Nanyang Jingluo, the hall of Yangxinzhai.
Yangxinzhai is less than 300 steps away from the Jingluo Embassy, is located in a quiet alley diagonally opposite the square outside the Guandi Temple, the pavilion is towering, the cloister water pavilion is around, the ancient wood is sensen, it is an excellent summer resort in summer, and non-distinguished guests are not allowed to stay.
The visitors of the Li family in Guanzhong generally choose to stay here, which shows Liu Tong's respect for the Li family.
"Erlang, what are you still worried about?!" Wei Chi Wuxi's eyes were a little more aggressive, his hands pressed on his knees, and his body leaned forward slightly.
"Gwangju was originally the land of the Xu family, and if it is handed over to you, it can barely be called a complete return to Zhao, right? What can Liu Xuan say? You are afraid that he Liu Xuan will attack Gwangzhou, Du Li is willing to lead a thousand cavalry troops to help you defend the city, I, and Xue Chan, can also sit in the plundering array for you, you lack weapons and armor, Huangzhou will transport it for you immediately, money, silver, grain and grass, Guanzhong will raise it for you, what are you still hesitating about?"
Jiang Feng looked a little overwhelmed under Wei Chi's sharp gaze, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Wei Chi, it's not that the kid is pretentious, but the strength of the Gu Shi Army is too weak, and it is difficult to carry the overall situation." This Caizhou envoy is also there, presumably also knows the tragic situation of that battle, although the Caizhou army did not please, but our Gushi Army also suffered a lot of losses, this has just completed the replenishment of new recruits, the whole training has just begun, and suddenly the Gushi Army is stationed in Gwangju, it is too hasty and abrupt, once the Nanyang Army comes to attack, our Gushi Army will not be able to deal with it at all. ”
Wei Chi Wuxi's eyes wandered, and he paused heavily, "Erlang, don't go around in circles with us, if you have any requirements, you put them forward, as long as we can meet them, we can try to meet them." ”
Jiang Feng was also slandered for a while, this kind of thing of rushing ducks to the shelves seemed to be too smooth in this level, and he never thought of taking over Gwangju to have a hard fight with Liu Xuan, so he couldn't save some belongings, and if he wanted to face Liu Xuan's army, he was afraid that he would have to disappear immediately.
Wei Chi Wuzhi said that he and Xue Chan and Du Li came to help defend the city, as soon as Liu Xuan's army came, they couldn't hold a few of them and could leave, Du Li took the cavalry and could also shoot the horse and slip away, and he could only stay here as a solid army, and he would never do such unwise things.
It's just that here today, if I don't agree, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out, I'm afraid that Wei Chi will not be sick, and I'm afraid that it will be rare for Huzhou to get Chang'an's approval, thinking of this, Jiang Feng is annoyed, this trip to the muddy water seems to be really wrong?
"Lord Wei Chi, what will be the consequences of being stationed in Gwangju, you and I both know very well, my front foot has just received food and weapons and armor from Xuan Gong, and the back foot is going to fight against Xuan Gong, is this appropriate? Won't I, Jiang Feng, become a person who will take revenge?" Jiang Feng said slowly.
"Erlang's words are not right, Gwangju has nothing to do with Nanyang, how can he fight against Liu Xuan? To say that Gwangju was originally the land of the Xu family, but now the Xu family no longer exists, and you were originally born in the Xu family, it is only natural that you will take over Gwangju, if Liu Xuan comes to attack Gwangju, then he has lost his morality!"
Du Li was prepared and immediately refuted Jiang Feng's words.
"Erlang, Gwangju is the place where you were born, as far as I know, there are also a large number of Gwangju gentry staying in Gushi, and now the Yuan family is willing to return Gwangju, including all the original houses and fields are returned, I believe you can immediately gain the support of the Gwangju gentry, even if Liu Xuan comes, you also have the will of the people. ”
Wei Chi Wu's illness was also extraordinarily gentle and sincere at this time, which made Jiang Feng look sideways.
"As for Gushi's side, if you shake hands with Caizhou and make peace, everything will pass, and it is impossible for the ant thieves on the Shouzhou side to return to Gushi, right? There are no enemies around, so why can't your Gushi army move to Gwangju? Could it be that you still miss the white land of the two counties of Shengtang and Huoshan?"
"Lord Wei Chi, that's different. Jiang Feng said calmly: "Gwangju is beautiful, but I have no foundation, although Gushi is broken, but also its city defense system is built by me with one hand and one foot, I can not exaggerate to say, even if the Caizhou army comes to attack Gushi again, I can also let it return, but what about Gwangju? If Nanyang comes to attack, how can I respond to the enemy?" Brother Du's 1,000 cavalry army, Lord Wei Chi, the few generals you brought, can only barely help me deal with the Nanyang martial arts masters, but the siege of the city is still completed by the soldiers in the final analysis, and my little force has to defend Gwangju, which is too dangerous. ”
"Erlang, what do you think?" Wei Chi said in a deep voice, he didn't want to go around in circles with Jiang Feng.
"Lord Wei Chi, I understand very well the purpose of you asking me to enter Gwangju with the Gushi Army, it is nothing more than to let my Gushi Army contain the Xuangong army, but I want to ask, even if the Gushi Army enters Gwangju, Xuangong will be restrained, and will not march to Caizhou?" Jiang Feng asked rhetorically: "I think I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve this goal." ”
Jiang Feng's straightforward words made Wei Chi Wu's old face hot.
However, he is also an old man who is more sophisticated, and he is not used to this kind of scene, so he nodded: "Erlang is so frank, but it makes the old man a little embarrassed." ”
"That's right, the strength of the Gushi Army is indeed difficult to play a role in Liu Xuan's tens of thousands of troops, if Liu Xuan decides to use troops against Caizhou, he will also send troops, but Caizhou stationed 5,000 troops in Gwangju can free up his hands to transfer to Caizhou's local defense, and it can always play some role, as for Liu Xuan, if he really wants to risk the world's disapproval to enter Caizhou, I think he will feel what it feels like to be betrayed and separated from the enemy on all sides, and it will also make him understand that if there is no Guanzhong to mediate for him, he is nothing!"
The last sentence of Wei Chi Wu's illness was full of intimidation. (To be continued.) )
