Yang Gongyan was silent.

Jiang Feng has a good reputation both in Guanzhong and Daliang, which makes his father jealous and hateful.

Including Yang Gongyan, they all feel that Jiang Feng's means of doing superficial things with fake benevolence and righteousness are too high, and he can win the recognition of Li Tang and Daliang in Guanzhong at the same time, and now he is even more "devoted", and he has to admit that he needs some skills.

The method of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, that feudal lord does not do it? But how many people play so smoothly and beautifully?

Sneak attack on Shouzhou, is it above board?

Annexing Luzhou, isn't it taking advantage of the fire to rob?

How could Xuzhou provoke him, and the soldiers came to the city quietly?

As for the war against Pinglu, there is no excuse for the crime that he wants to add.

But this misdeeds seem to be covered by a beautiful aura.

The seizure of Shouzhou was said to be at the invitation of the Zheng clan; the attack on Luzhou was to prevent Xu Zhihe, a traitor from being unfavorable to the Wu Yang clan; the invasion of Xuzhou and Yanyun was to save the people from fire and water; and the capture of Pinglu was also the first offense of Pinglu against Haizhou.

All in all, Jiang Feng has truly achieved the "teacher of benevolence and righteousness" and "division of justice", who can see him wielding a butcher's knife in Luzhou against those disobedient gentry, and who knows that he has done everything possible to buy the generals of the enemy camp?

A good reputation is indeed very useful, otherwise Li Tang would not marry Li Jin to him, and the generals of Daliang and Xuzhou and Yanyun would not be eager for Xuzhou's solicitation, but their enthusiasm for the family of the Nine Princes of Guanzhong has always been ruthlessly rejected by the other party, which is hateful and annoying.

The usefulness of a good name does not stop there, and whoever wants to work against him seems to have to bear some moral responsibility.

Just like the Yuan clan has repeatedly done to Xuzhou, but without exception it has been opposed by Li Tang, although this opposition does not seem to be of much use, but within the Yuan clan, especially some civil and military generals, there is always some apprehension and reluctance in the hearts of the military generals, and this mentality will become a kind of resistance when it slowly accumulates.

Yang Wenchang didn't notice his son's feelings, and said to himself: "Jiang Feng's house has become a climate now, and even the Shatuo people don't dare to say anything about him, and they are also thinking, if the Shatuo people really join forces with Caizhou to destroy Nanyang, what will the situation in the Central Plains become? Will they turn to Xuzhou instead?"

"I'm afraid Xuzhou won't tolerate this situation. Yang Gongyan pondered, "If I were Jiang Feng, I would have to make trouble for the Shatuo people or Caizhou, the best situation is for Nanyang to be able to hold down the Shatuo people and Caizhou, but Nanyang may not be able to bear it, which Jiang Feng should see." ”

"Then Jiang Feng won't sit idly by!" Yang Wenchang said categorically: "There is no news yet, I'm afraid that Jiang Feng has already made a move against Shatuo and Caizhou." ”

"Not necessarily for the Shatuo people, after all, the Shatuo people are big now, and in the Central Plains Bianluo, Pingchuan, the Xuzhou army may not be able to take the advantage of taking the initiative to attack, but for Caizhou, I am afraid that Jiang Feng will not stay. ”

Yang Gongyan also agreed with his father's judgment, but he thought that Jiang Feng should focus his attack on Caizhou.

"Well, we are still a step slower, but it's a pity that the party is too procrastinating, if we can solve Guanzhong as soon as possible, maybe we can still share a spoonful of soup in the Central Plains." Yang Wenchang was not without regrets, "I judge that even if Jiang Feng wants to send troops to Caizhou, I am afraid that it will be difficult to help Nanyang's fate much. ”

Yang Gongyan thought for a moment: "Father is talking about the Xiangyang Xiao family, or the Hubei Du family?"

"I'm afraid that the Shatuo people have already made a wish to the Xiao family, as for the Du family, it depends on how much influence Jiang Feng has on him, besides, Liu Xuan may not be willing to devote all his strength to Liu Tong's life. ”

Yang Wenchang is also a little uncertain about this point, he still doesn't grasp the relationship between the two Lius and the dynamics of Ehuang, so he can only judge by an intuition, after all, that side is not the focus of his attention, even if it is Jiang Feng, it is because the other party's forces have expanded too rapidly, so he has to spend some effort to collect intelligence.

"If both the Xiao clan and the Du clan send troops, the situation will really be a bit too chaotic, and any one factor may affect the change of the entire situation. Yang Gongyan muttered to himself.

"Performance, let's focus on our own affairs, the Uighurs of Ganzhou have come down, and next, it will be the Uighurs and the Dangxiang people who take turns to perform, I am already impatient, and these beetles in Chang'an City should also be cleaned up. ”

A smug smile appeared on the corner of Yang Wenchang's mouth, and in the distance, the remnant sun was like blood.

The messenger hurried to catch up with Jiang Feng's team, and Jiang Feng read the letter, his face was gloomy.

Liu Xuan rejected Jiang Feng's suggestion and was unwilling to send troops to reinforce Pizhou and Suizhou, but instead proposed an alliance to Jiang Feng to jointly deal with the Yuan clan in Caizhou.

In Liu Xuan's view, the loss of Mizhou, the heart of the Nanyang army was shaken, and it was inevitable that the Shatuo army would enter the Nanyang Basin, and the Xiao family in Xiangyang had raised troops to attack Suizhou, and it was obvious that the Xiao family had reached an agreement with the Shatuo people to carve up Nanyang, in this case, Liu Tong's downfall had become a foregone conclusion, and now he needed to preserve his force to resist the Yuan clan of Caizhou.

The words are very high-sounding, but the essence is that Liu Xuan has grown the ambition to replace his brother and become the patriarch of the Liu family.

Since the Nanyang Sanzhou Mansion could not be preserved, the Xiangyang Xiao family captured Suizhou, the Caizhou Yuan family took Mizhou, the Shatuo people controlled Nanyang Mansion, and the three families divided Liu Tong's territory, so as long as he Liu Xuan can survive, then there is still a lot to be done in the future.

Liu Xuan didn't think that the Shatuo people could go further south, and the climate and geographical environment were not suitable for the Shatuo people to have more ambitions, at least it would usher in a period of digestion.

Jiang Feng didn't know how to describe his "quasi-father-in-law", did he really think that if Liu Ji married him, he would sacrifice the interests of Xuzhou because of a woman?

Maybe he thinks that after the fall of Liu Tong, the situation in the Central Plains will form a confrontation situation between Xuzhou and his Yushatuo people in Caizhou?

But what if such a confrontation is formed?

Could he have had other plans in this situation?

I can't tell.

Jiang Feng pondered slowly, if it was really as Liu Xuan's judgment, the Shatuo people would stop there, and he would give the Yuan clan a ruthless blow, no matter whether the Yuan clan could survive or not, at least he Liu Xuan would have his hands free, and even his strength might become stronger, because Liu Tong's residual strength might be attached to him, and he could become the real head of the Liu family, unlike the two masters of the Liu clan before.

At this time, Shatuo and Caizhou have no spare strength to influence him, maybe he has the idea of beating the Du family again?

Not to mention, it's a real possibility.

Du's strength is really not enough to compete with Liu Xuan, who has obtained the remnants of Liu Tong's strength, if Liu Xuan gets his own acquiescence or even support, he wants to go south to Chuzhou and Qihuang, I'm afraid that Du's may not be able to bear it, he really wants to be taken by him to take over Chuzhou and Qihuang Erzhou, and under the protection of his own wings, Liu Xuan's situation is really perfect, there is his own resistance to the Shatuo people in the north, he can take a good time to digest, find suitable opportunities and targets to deal with the Du family, and can also take advantage of the situation to join forces with the Jiangling Gao family to attack the Xiao family, I have to say that this idea is very beautiful。

It's just that he seems to ignore his own thoughts, and some wishful thinking.

It's just that Jiang Feng doesn't have more spare strength to ask Liu Xuan's questions at this time, he now needs to concentrate all his strength to knock down the Caizhou army in Song City, and completely cut off Caizhou's forces, as for Liu Xuan, he will come to "discuss" with him in the future, and Liu Tong, he has no obligation to consider the bullshit between their two Liu brothers.

Putting aside these thoughts, Jiang Feng also regained his composure and ordered the army to speed up its westward advance.

The Heshuo army in the north has already reached Songcheng in the south, and the Ziqing army has already arrived in the suburbs of Songcheng, and the Heshuo army is one north and one west, each other is a horn trend, and began to build an encirclement along the south, encircling three queyi, and putting on a situation of encirclement.

The news fed back from the front line, the Caizhou army is also stepping up the construction of city walls and defense facilities, it seems that they are really ready to fight this battle, and they have no intention of evacuating, which is also in line with Jiang Feng's judgment, Yuan Huaihe does not dare to withdraw the army, and he can't vent this anger.

It will be a tough battle, but it must be fought, and once it is won, it will determine the fate of the Yuan family.

In contrast, the Wuning Army and the Huaiyou Army led by Yang Kan were secondary battlefields in the attack on Yingbo Erzhou, and it was more to cooperate with the main battlefield of Songzhou to expand the results, of course, the Wuning Army and the Huaiyou Army led by Yang Kan could advance rapidly and greatly relieve the pressure on the Songcheng battlefield and prevent the Yuan army from reinforcing in the direction of Songcheng.

"Jiang Feng has arrived?" Yuan Wuwei took a deep breath and turned his head, "Does the head of the family know?"

"The head of the family already knows, let his subordinates inform the general. There was also a little nervousness in the voice of joining the army.

"Just in time, just in time for him. Yuan Wuwei's face calmed down, "Those who should come always have to come, and it's better to come early than late." ”

"General, it's just that our troops are ......," the army muttered.

"How's the morale?" Yuan Wuwei interrupted the other party rudely, "Has it been affected?"

"It hasn't been affected yet, but we do have a huge disparity in strength. Joining the army hesitated for a moment, "The head of the family has some arrangements, but his subordinates are worried about whether it will backfire." ”

"Hmph, you don't have to dwell on that now, you have to use iron-blooded means to suppress the situation. Yuan Wuwei said coldly: "Everyone is afraid of death, especially when the sword and axe are added, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they have to fight, we just want to use their thoughts, and we don't plan to let them live!"

Joining the army finally understood the meaning, and breathed heavily, which meant that the army was not sure of victory, but was about to break the cauldron and fight a ship.
