Section 34: Find the right position

Jiang Feng did not have much contact with Zhang Huang and other representatives of the clansmen, in addition to learning about the current situation in Gwangju City, Jiang Feng was more to appease the other party, hoping that the other party would be psychologically prepared to assist the Gushi Army to quickly stabilize the situation in Gwangju after the Gushi Army took over Gwangju, so that it could return to the state before it was occupied by the Yuan clan.

In fact, the gentry in Gwangju City are still more or less aware of the current situation, and Gwangju City has been in a state of suffocation since the curfew a month ago.

There were very few people on the streets, and even the shops were only open for half a day, and after the first battle of the Gwangju Fortress, the entire Gwangju Castle adopted an extremely strict entry and exit registration system, which made the gentry in the city think about it.

The news of the collapse of the Caizhou army outside Gushi City also circulated among the gentry as if it were bright and dark, but the gentry did not know what the battle was like.

But one thing they knew was that from that time on, those Caizhou gentry who came from Caizhou and began to take over the shops, mansions, and mountains and forests left behind after Yuan Huaifang's family was exterminated became uneasy.

Recently, it has been rumored that these gentry have begun to sell their mansions and fields, mountains and forests that were originally sold from the Thorn Mansion, and some people have even found that there are wagons and donkey caravans entering and leaving the city gate at night.

All signs indicate that Gwangju may have a new master, so these gentry will quietly leave the city after Zhang Huang sends out the invitation.

During the whole meeting, Jiang Feng listened more to the confessions and vents of these gentry representatives.

In the past few months, they have all trembled, afraid that they will be arbitrarily charged by the Yuan family, and then they will raid their homes, go to prison, and all family property will be confiscated and sold.

Now everything is about to change, and the nightmarish scene is finally about to be turned over, although they don't know if there will be other people who will continue to turn the page in the near future after this page is turned over, but at least they don't need to face the murderous Yuan clan again.

Whether it is this little scout who was still unknown in Gwangju City more than half a year ago, or Liu Xuan of Nanyang, who may come as a new owner in the future, it will definitely not be more terrifying than the Yuan family.

Seeing these people disappear at the end of the road one after another, Jiang Feng spurred his horse.

"Wanshan, do you think these people will welcome me back to Gwangju?" Jiang Feng always had a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I feel that many people seem to be unspeakable." ”

Zhang Wanshan caught up with the horse's belly, and now he is getting more and more used to the style of this boss, especially in looking at the tricky and harsh way of looking at the problem, as Jiang Feng himself said, hold the greatest hope, do the best work, and plan for the worst, these three sentences made Zhang Wanshan chew countless times, and felt that the meaning was endless.

"My lord, I think this is also understandable, the complex relationship between us and Nanyang, the strength of Liu Xuan's forces, they are not ignorant, in comparison, the foundation of our Gushi Army is too thin, even if we have defeated the Caizhou Army, but many people may think that it is a fluke. ”

Zhang Wanshan also told the truth, after being in contact for so long, he knew that this lord didn't like to lie.

"On the way, my uncle also asked me without worry, what should they do if they made various demands on the Gwangju gentry when they joined Namyang? ”

"Just one sentence, how can it be possible to dispel their concerns?" Jiang Feng looked ahead and rode his horse at a gallop, "In the final analysis, it is still our Gushi Army that has not really established an invincible image in the minds of these people, and to achieve this step, it needs continuous victories to accumulate, and it is precisely through the many wars between the Great Liang and the Great Liang that the Caizhou Army has won the recognition and respect of the surrounding feudal domains, and Nanyang has not really achieved this step, let alone us." ”

Zhang Wanshan was deeply impressed by Jiang Feng's words, but he also had different opinions.

"My lord, our Gushi Army has only been more than half a year since the establishment of the army, if you want to compare with the Nanyang Army or the Caizhou Army, I'm afraid it's too harsh, in just half a year, we have experienced two extremely tragic battles, each of which our battle losses are more than thirty percent, but this did not defeat us, but made our will to fight stronger, and also attracted more people to join our Gushi Army, I think this is worthy of our pride!"

"Wanshan, do you think I'm too ourselves?"

Jiang Feng admires Zhang Yue's distant nephew very much, who has a flexible mind but does not blindly follow, and can use his own mind to consider problems and not change because of his attitude, which is particularly rare.

Maybe this kid is limited to talent and is difficult to achieve in martial arts, but he can make up for it in these aspects.

In the future, with the growth of the Gushi Army, the need for talents is multifaceted, and it is good to have superb martial arts, but if it is insufficient, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, and he is sober-minded, long-term, good at analysis, and good at learning and absorption, these are Zhang Wanshan's strengths.

In particular, Zhang Wanshan is very good at the combination of magic weapons, like the combination of these magic weapons in his own personal guard, Zhang Wanshan single-handedly explored, and even Deng Guinian and Luo Zhen said that Zhang Wanshan is talented in this area.

Jiang Feng's question made Zhang Wanshan difficult to answer, so he could only lower his head.

"It's not that I'm demanding, it's the harsh reality that forces us to do so. To tell the truth, I don't want to get involved in Gwangju, I just want to honestly build my own planned Huzhou in Gushi, with the militia sources of Yingzhou and Shouzhou, the money, food, weapons and armor supported by Daliang and Nanyang and Huangzhou, as well as the Tang Dynasty, The large area of land in Huoshan and Huoshan counties, we Gushi Army can completely rest and recuperate on this basis for a year, and in this year I can build the Gushi city defense system, and I can polish this army, in this case, I can choose the direction of development with ease, whether it is Shouzhou, Yingzhou, Huangzhou, or Gwangju, how comfortable is it to make a choice at that time? But the conditions allow? You are developing and growing, will people sit back and watch your development and ignore it?"

Jiang Feng spread his hands, "No, people won't give you this time, they are not stupid, it is the safest thing to nip the danger in the bud, Wanshan, you have to remember that the strength of every army is based on the premise of the failure of other armies around it, and the rise of every feudal lord is stepping on the corpse of other forces, they all understand this truth, Daliang is like this, Caizhou is like this, we must not be a stepping stone for others, and we can only take this road." ”

Zhang Wanshan's heart was also excited, and after a long time, he said sullenly: "Then Nanyang's strength is far superior to our Gushi Army, don't we have to retreat? Now that we are stationed in Gwangju and then withdraw from Gwangju, how do the Gentry in Gwangju view us, this will have a great impact on the prestige of our Gushi Army, it is better to refuse!"

"There are some things that we can't do if we don't want to do them, if we don't enter the station, maybe Chang'an will set up an obstacle for us to create obstacles in Huzhou, and the Du family will no longer give us money and food support, so we know that it is a trap for people to ask us to enter Gwangju, and we have to step in. Jiang Feng said calmly: "What's more, although this is a trap, the trap is not necessarily an opportunity." ”

Hearing Jiang Feng say this, Zhang Wanshan's eyes lit up again, "My lord, do you mean that it is still possible for us to take Gwangju?"

"Even if there is a chance, we can give it a go, right?" Jiang Feng smiled and asked: "If we pay, there may not be a return, but if you don't pay, then there will definitely be no return, so I am willing to bet on this, not to mention, the other side has already made a bet for us, why don't we do it?"

Seeing his cousin in military uniform, Xu Ning couldn't understand the other party's attitude at all, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"Xiao Ning, I think you may need to calm yourself, that's right, I am the Xu family, but before that, I was first and foremost the military capital of the Second Army of the Gushi Army, and I was also temporarily in charge of the training of the Second Army, and I had no right to leave the barracks without authorization before the training of the Second Army had reached the intended effect. Xu Ziqing stood in front of the hall and shook his head: "It should be said that I have violated the military discipline in the barracks when I see you at this time, and I still need to explain the situation to Lord Jiang later." ”

"Xiao Ning, you don't have to look at me with this kind of vision, I am very sober, the original Gwangju Xu family has become a thing of the past, and the current Xu family needs to find a new self-positioning, this is what I need to warn you, especially your current identity, I think you have not found it yet, or there is something misplaced. Xu Ziqing's tone was a little more serious, "Jiang Feng gave the third uncle and our Xu family a promise, and you should also fulfill your own duties correspondingly, even if you are not married to Jiang Feng now, but you have agreed, then you have to consider the problem from the identity you agreed upon, rather than everything from the perspective of the Xu family, which is very dangerous." ”

"Big brother, do you mean that I don't even have the right to ask about this matter? Who deprived me of this right? Jiang Feng?" Xu Ning's words were as cold as ice blades in winter.

"Of course, you can ask, but I want to remind you that you need to balance your identity as the future wife of Jiang Fengping and the daughter of the Xu family, don't reverse the misalignment, let alone point fingers, because you are not qualified now. Xu Ziqing felt that he needed to wake up the other party, "As for me, maybe I can express my thoughts to him in private, but now, in official affairs, if he doesn't ask for my opinion, I have no right to ask."
