Haozhou, Zhongli City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Dressed in a black robe shrouded in armor, Jiang Feng stood at the head of Zhongli City and looked to the north.

Standing beside him was an old man with a withered yellow goatee, his eyes flickering, as if he was pondering something.

Zhang Ting's fair face was a little colder, and the short beard with a slight blue under his chin made him look a little murderous.

Zhongli City Huaishui is in the upper reaches of the water, between the water inlet of the vortex water into the Huai water and the water inlet of the water flowing into the Huai water.

Along the Huaishui line from Shouzhou to Chuzhou, Shouchun (Shouzhou Prefecture, south bank), Zhongli (Haozhou Prefecture, south bank), Xucheng, (Sizhou, north bank and not near the river) Zhaoyi (Haozhou, south bank and not near the river), Linhuai (Sizhou Prefecture, north bank), Xuyi (Chuzhou, south bank), Huaiyin (Chuzhou, south bank), Shanyang (Chuzhou state, south bank), eight cities, belonging to four states, of which the four states are all among them, lined up.

Although Xucheng and Zhaoyi County are not near the river, the distance is very close, and in fact, business and trade are closely dependent on Huaishui communication.

If it is only from the perspective of Huaiyou itself, the geographical location of Haozhou is not important, because Huaiyou has completely controlled the entire Huaishui waterway through the construction of the Shouzhou commercial port and the strength of the naval army, whether it is Huaibei or Li Yu, who has actually controlled Chuzhou on the throne of King Wu, or Qin Quan, the spoiler, can not shake Huaiyou's position on the Huaishui waterway.

Haozhou is just a section of this waterway, even if it is in the hands of Li Yu, it cannot pose a threat to the supremacy of Huaiyou Huaishui on the water.

But if you focus on the north, focus on the Xuzhou strategy, Haozhou's position is irreplaceable.

Zhongli City is located in a very clever location, it is just at the junction of the three states, the south of Huaishui belongs to Haozhou, and the north bank belongs to Sizhou, but if you walk one or twenty miles from the territory of Sizhou, it belongs to Xuzhou.

Theoretically, Xuzhou and Sizhou are one, but in fact, with the sharp decline of Shi Yu's strength due to the probation army, Sizhou and Haizhou in the east, how much control and influence he still has, I am afraid that even Shi Yu himself can't say clearly.

Among the five states in Huaibei, in terms of importance, Xuzhou bears the brunt.

The south calls Xuzhou the key to the north gate, the north calls it the important town of the south, its west leads to the Central Plains, the north chokes Qilu, the south Ping Jianghuai, on the geographical location, in the entire eastern region, there is no other.

Yingbo Erzhou, which is a former area of Xuzhou to the Central Plains, is self-evident in its importance, as the bridgehead and southern depth of Xuzhou's hegemony in the Central Plains, it is related to survival.

Sihai two states is the strategic depth of Xuzhou, in history Sihai two states are dependent on Xuzhou and exist, Xuzhou exists, then Sihai survives, Xuzhou dies, then Sihai dies, the same Sihai two states once lost, it means that Xuzhou is in danger.

"Xun Gong, do you know why you came to Haozhou?" Jiang Feng tilted his head slightly, and asked the old man with a goatee next to him with a smile.

"Hehe, since Haozhou is attached to the king, it is natural for the king to come to the line. "The old man with the goatee is Yang Xun, the assassin of Haozhou.

After some bargaining with Huaiyou, Yang Xun, who understood the current affairs, took the initiative to surrender to Huaiyou, and the Huaiyou army did not even enter Zhongli City.

Yang Xun is a distant branch of the Yang family, and he is an elder of Yang Pu's distant family, Yang Xun has already served as the secretary of Haozhou to join the army in the era of Yang Xingmi, and later served as the governor of Haozhou for a long time, and has been the assassin of Haozhou for more than ten years.

The head snake returns to the head snake, but in front of the strong dragon Huaiyou, it can only be regarded as a small earthworm.

After Li Yu crusaded against Yang Pu, Haozhou urgently recruited another corps to train the troops in case of accidents, but after Yang Xun decided to surrender to Huaiyou, he immediately disbanded the post-recruitment regiment.

Even when Jiang Feng arrived in Haozhou, he also offered to disband the regimental training that Haozhou itself had always retained to save expenses, which made Jiang Feng cry and laugh.

"There is some truth in what Xun Gong said, but it is not the main reason for a certain person to come to Haozhou. Jiang Feng said indifferently.

"Oh?" Yang Xun's seemingly dim little eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Does the king still have other intentions?"

"Xun Gong might as well guess. Jiang Feng turned around with a smile.

"Could it be that the king wants to try Xu Si?" Yang Xun's face became a little serious, if it was true, it would be a big deal.

Haozhou is close to Xusi, and once the war is ignited, it will inevitably become a frontier place.

Of course, Yang Xun also knew that since Huaiyou wanted to plot against Xu Si, he must have come prepared, but he was not worried about the safety of Haozhou, the strength of the Huaiyou Navy was unsurpassed, and it was impossible for the probationary army to reach the south bank.

He was worried that once the war started, Haozhou was bound to provide a large amount of military funds for the army, which made his parents a little heartbroken, and thought that taking the initiative to take refuge would avoid the war, but he didn't expect to be involved, but fortunately, he was just involved, providing some materials, although Haozhou was not rich, but it could still afford some.

"What does Xun Gong think?" Jiang Feng then asked, he wanted to hear the truth from this old slippery head who lived next to Xu Si.

Yang Xun naturally understood that since Jiang Feng asked so, I am afraid that it was also a foregone conclusion, since he had surrendered to Huaiyou, Yang Xun did not plan to step on two boats, not to mention that there was no second boat for him to step on now.

He needed to think about how to answer.

As a neighbor to the south, Haozhou naturally has some understanding of the situation on Xu Si's side, especially when the ant thieves ravaged Huaibei, Haozhou was also frightened, and was afraid that the ant thieves would be driven across Huaishui by the Huaibei army, and they were also sent to the north as scouts.

After a little muttering, Yang Xun wanted to speak, but when he saw the eldest son beside him who was eager to try, his heart moved, "Da Lang, why don't you answer this question for your father." Your Majesty, is it okay?"

Yang Xun has two sons, both of whom are descendants, and Yang Xun originally wanted to observe on the wall, or wanted to wait until the situation was clear before expressing his attitude, but it was under the strong advice of the eldest son Yang Gu and the second son Yang Lu that he submitted the table of reduction to Jiang Feng in advance.

Take Yang Gu's words, Huaiyou's momentum is unstoppable, Jiang Feng is majestic and strategic, and he will become a big weapon.

Although it was a bit unpolite to leave this question to his eldest son to answer, Yang Xun knew that Jiang Feng probably didn't mind it.

He is old and his energy is already a little lacking, especially after experiencing the major event of Li Yu cutting Yang and Huai You's eastward entry, Yang Xun, who is exhausted, really feels that he is old, and he also has the idea of pushing his two sons to the forefront.

And the two sisters-in-law are extremely optimistic about Jiang Feng, and they are also very respectful between their words, if Jiang Feng personally leads the Huaiyou Northern Expedition to Xuzhou, it is just a rare opportunity, he believes that Jiang Feng can also see it, so he takes the liberty of doing this.

"Why not? Jiu Wenxun has two sons, both of whom are dragons and phoenixes, and a certain person can just hear the thoughts of the leading figures in Haozhou. Jiang Feng laughed.

Yang Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly, his eldest son was worthy of the dragon and phoenix among people, but the second son was really hard to say.

"The king is plotting against Xu Si!" Hearing Jiang Feng's words, the man standing next to his father clasped his fists and saluted: "Xu Si is the foundation of the king's overlord, even more than Shoulu!"

"Oh?" Jiang Feng looked up and down at this man in his early thirties, his appearance was just ordinary, but his words were extraordinary, "I would like to hear it in detail." ”

"If the monarch only wants to be the overlord of Huainan, it is enough to have Shoulu in hand, but if the monarch wants to stay and plot against the Central Plains, Xuzhou must not do it!" The man was concise and to the point, expressing his views directly.

"Well, how does Da Lang think he will take Xu Si?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile.

"This is the responsibility of the king on the march, and he dare not say anything. The man's eyes were deeply sunken, his eyebrows were dark, and he was very sensitive, "However, I thought that if the king wanted to take Xuzhou, he must be able to take Fuli with lightning speed, otherwise the battle will be prolonged." ”

"Oh?" Jiang Feng's mind turned sharply, he didn't expect that there were also outstanding people in Haozhou, and he could actually see the importance of taking Fuli, "Why does Da Lang think so?"

"The key to take Xuzhou is not in Xuzhou itself, but in Caizhou in the west, when the dry bones in the mound, not enough to worry about the teeth, the generals under their command look like the heart of the heart, each for their own affairs, if they can seize the Fu Li, you can deter the Bozhou Yuan army, so that it does not dare to easily send troops to Xuzhou, at that time, the king can also win and divide the Huaibei generals, a certain thought that the Huaibei generals also know the times, as for the time, the king can also follow the example of King Wu, sent to Chang'an to settle down, presumably can also accept. ”

When these words came out, Jiang Feng and Zhang Ting next to him were surprised, it was not simple, they could clearly analyze the doorway here, Yang Xun had this son, but he could enjoy his old age in peace, but he didn't know how the specific operation of this son was performed.

"Da Lang has a good way to get rid of the talisman?" Zhang Ting couldn't bear it anymore and asked in a deep voice.

Fuli is the south gate of Xuzhou, located in the north of Suzhou less than 30 miles away, located on the south bank of Jushui, Suzhou withdraws from the state, and Fuli's status is more prominent.

"There's no good idea. The man said calmly: "But I think that the king has the heart to go to Xu Si, but I am afraid that he also has a layout in advance, and he knows nothing, and there is no good plan." ”

Jiang Feng laughed, this kid is a little interesting, quick-witted, open-minded, it seems that he is also a manufacturable material, but he can be used in his pocket.

"Duke Xun, if you want to send a big man to my mansion as a staff officer, what about Duke Xun?" Jiang Feng nodded and said with a smile.

Yang Xun is also very happy, the eldest son can be so valued by Jiang Feng, and go straight to the defense and capture embassy to be engaged, the future is unlimited, how can he not allow it?

"Hehe, you value dogs, and you don't dare to ask for ears. Yang Xun said happily.

"The cone is in the bag, and the end is immediately seen. Xun Gong gave birth to two good sons. Jiang Feng said with emotion: "The battle against Xu Si in this battle depends on a lot of Xun Gong, and a certain army will come up soon, please make more arrangements." ”

"Dare to disobey. Yang Xun also said with a straight face.

This is the right thing to do, no jokes.
