Yuan Huaihe stood behind the chair in the hall with a complicated expression, his hands behind his back, the map on the wall was clearly visible, the prefectures and counties, rivers, lakes and marshes, mountains, and official roads, one by one, were lifelike, squeezing into his mind.

He didn't expect Jiang Feng to be so bold that he would dare to launch a crazy attack on the two states of Wu and Chu Yang when the Shatuo army was overwhelmed.

It's a bit crazy.

The Jin army has destroyed Daliang, and even took the initiative to provoke and invade Caozhou and Songzhou, everyone knows that this is a temptation, but the temptation also means that the Shatuo people have the desire and impulse to launch a war against Xuzhou and Caizhou, and if they don't deal with it well, it will turn into a war.

It was under such circumstances that Xuzhou dared to raise a large army to the south and launch an attack on Chuzhou and Yangzhou at the same time.

Yuan Changhe also knew that Xuzhou's power had expanded rapidly, and the self-established Xuzhou Governor's Office had five towns under its jurisdiction, integrating the original Reform Army, Taining Army and Pinglu Ziqing Army, plus the Huaiyou Army, its strength had greatly surpassed Caizhou, and even reached more than twice the Caizhou Army.

may be a little inferior to Caizhou's elite in terms of quality, but in terms of overall strength, the Xuzhou Army has completely overwhelmed Caizhou.

Perhaps the Xuzhou army took this as a battle, so it dared to attack the Jin army that invaded Caozhou, and even annihilated the invading Jin army like a complete kill, but he could only expel the Jin army from Songzhou with a relatively relaxed attitude.

That's it, Jiang Feng still dared to blatantly attack Chuyang Erzhou in this kind of bone joint, and even used the Huaiyou Army and the Wuning Army, and the Huaiyou Army was just that, after all, it did not directly face the Jin Army, but the Wuning Army was guarding Xuzhou and directly facing the Songzhou line, once the Songzhou line was broken through by the Jin army, even Xuzhou would directly face the threat of the Jin army, but Jiang Feng dared to release this army and go south.

Of course, Li Yu, a fool, did give Jiang Feng the best chance, needless to say, there must be a combination of Qian Yuanqian and the ant thief here, otherwise it would be impossible to create such an excellent opportunity, which made Yuan Changhe's eyes red with envy.

This is the two states of Chuyang, especially Yangzhou, which is almost a metropolis comparable to Bianliang, Luoyang and Chang'an, even Xuzhou, Nanyang, Xiangyang, and Guangzhou.

Although there is no specific news yet, Yuan Huaihe can be sure that there is a certain chance that Chuyang Erzhou will change his surname to Jiang.

Jiang Feng does not fight battles that he does not prepare, and is better at planning and then acting, while Li Yu, although there are capable people around him, he can't use the blade, and he always likes to go out in person, which is the biggest problem of being a monarch.

If it was in the past, Caizhou would definitely have to get involved and drag Xuzhou back, but this time, Caizhou couldn't.

The entry of the Shatuo people into the Central Plains has completely changed the relationship between Nanyang, Caizhou and Xuzhou, and the Hu people are powerful, and everyone understands that if they fight alone, they will have to suffer a big loss, and joining forces is the best way to deal with it.

The problem is that once Xuzhou has obtained the two states of Chuyang, it will basically declare Xuzhou invincible, even if it is alone in the face of the Shatuo people, Xuzhou will not be afraid, but for Caizhou, Xuzhou has suddenly become a quasi-ally, Caizhou cannot deal with the Shatuo people alone, and must ask for Xuzhou's support and assistance.

This is really a painful ending that people sigh but have to accept, no matter what they do, this situation has put Caizhou into an unfavorable situation, and even Caizhou can't reverse it, so it can only be passively endured.

The army of the Shatuo people in the north is still constantly adjusting and changing, and judging from the news fed back by the scouts, the Shatuo people are preparing for the raising of military resources, which should be preparing for the south.

Yuan Huaihe thought that the first target for the Jin army to go south would be Nanyang, but it was not ruled out that Caizhou would be chosen.

Even if the Jin army really takes Nanyang as the main combat target, Caizhou will be under considerable pressure, whether to aid Nanyang or not, whether to secretly support or take the initiative to assist, how to cooperate, and what kind of role Xuzhou will play, are all difficult problems.

The sound of hurried footsteps came, and Yuan Huaihe turned around suddenly, but saw Yuan Huaiqing, Yuan Wuxing, and Yuan Wuwei walking in quickly, their faces were cloudy, and their hearts suddenly became clear, but they were afraid that what they were worried about or looking forward to had happened.

"How's it going? ”

"Big brother, the news just came back that the Wuning Army of Xuzhou and the Navy Army broke through Shanyang City in Chuzhou, and the defenders of Shanyang surrendered. Yuan Huaiqing licked his lips and said in a low voice.

"Sure enough, it was swallowed by Jiang Feng, and as soon as Chuzhou got it, I am afraid that Yangzhou will not be able to escape Jiang Feng's palm. ”

Although he had expected it, but when he heard the news, Yuan Changhe's heart sank, but then he was relieved, and he thought to himself, if Chuyang Erzhou fell into the hands of Xuzhou, the Shatuo people might really have nothing to do with Xuzhou, and if the Jin army wanted to fight with Xuzhou, I am afraid that it would not be able to fight.

"What about Yangzhou?" asked Yuan Huaihe again.

"There is no news from Yangzhou for the time being, but does the head of the family think Yangzhou will still be spared?" asked Yuan Wudaunting.

Yuan Huaihe glanced at this nephew who was known for his wisdom in the next generation, and asked indifferently: "If we can't be spared, how should we deal with it?"

Everyone has thought about this question, but there is no good solution.

In the short term, Caizhou has to rely on Xuzhou to offset the pressure of the Shatuo people to choose people to eat, but if they really tie their hopes to Xuzhou, then Caizhou will almost become its vassal in the future, how can they compete with Xuzhou?

Yuan Wuxing was also speechless, yes, how to deal with it?

If you want to drag Xuzhou's hind legs again, then you will really have to be broken by the other party.

Now Xuzhou is not something that Caizhou can provoke at the moment, even if Caizhou is full of hostility in his heart, he has to completely suppress it and put on a posture of advancing and retreating hand in hand.

Really shake hands and make peace and become a brotherly alliance?

Not to mention the various previous grudges, the fundamental interests of the two sides are not together, and it is impossible for Caizhou to submit to Xuzhou, nor can it become a vassal of Xuzhou.

Even if the conflict can be avoided now, it is also due to the pressure of the Shatuo people, once the external pressure is eased, the contradiction will suddenly become prominent, and the outbreak of war is also a high probability event.

"Whether it is to fight against the Shatuo people or Xuzhou, the only way is to accumulate and improve our Caizhou's own strength, which is fundamental and key. Yuan Wuxing said with some difficulty: "Whether it is Shatuo people or Xuzhou, they will not have much kindness to us, and our current position in Caizhou also determines that if we don't want to become the food on the plate of Shatuo people and Xuzhou, then we must seize the opportunity to grow ourselves quickly." ”

"Oh, Old Seven, do you mean that you have some ideas? How can we solve this dilemma now?" Yuan Huaihe and Yuan Huaiqing's eyes fell on Yuan Wuxing's face, and even Yuan Wuwei was excited.

This new generation of children, one of the three foals of the Yuan family, is far inferior to Yuan Wuwei and Yuan Wuwei in terms of martial arts strength and potential, and even now some of the new talents in the Eight Pillars of Ruyang have also caught up and begun to slowly catch up with Yuan Wuxing, but if it is about wisdom, Yuan Wuwei is certainly difficult to match, and Yuan Wuwei is even more difficult to match, and he is the one who can really carry the beam.

"The location of our Caizhou is the land of the four wars, especially with the entry of the Shatuo people into the Central Plains, the power of Xuzhou has expanded, we are actually in the gap between these two forces, and if we are not careful, we will become prey. ”

Yuan Wuxing has also been thinking about Caizhou's way out during this time.

To the north is the Shatuo people, and now it is self-defeating to force the Shatuo people, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with the Caizhou army's strategy in Songzhou.

Caizhou can't be compared with Xuzhou, Xuzhou can afford to fight with the Shatuo people, and Caizhou can't afford it, so Caizhou can only drive out the Shatuo cavalry in a polite and courteous way.

It is necessary to let the Shatuo people see Caizhou's bottom line and determination, but also not to stimulate the Shatuo people too much, so as to prevent the Shatuo chieftains from feeling that they have been swept away and fighting.

To the east is Xuzhou, Caizhou has missed the opportunity to curb the development of Xuzhou, and now Xuzhou is unstoppable, Caizhou is not Xuzhou's opponent now, and Caizhou must also accept this reality.

Therefore, when formulating strategies, we must recognize such a reality, and we must not let Shatuo and Xuzhou become the enemies of Caizhou, or the most direct enemy, and cannot have a war with them.

So how does Caizhou survive and how to strengthen itself?

"Judging from the current situation, the Shatuo people are likely to choose Nanyang as a breakthrough to the south, and Xuzhou, on the one hand, they and the Shatuo people confront, which will contain the strength of both of them, and I see that Jiang Feng's strategic direction is not the south, but more likely to be the north, although Chuyang and Yang Prefecture were suddenly attacked, but my personal opinion, its future main battlefield should be the north, although I don't understand why Jiang Feng thinks so, but from its Tianping Army, Ziqing Army and Pinglu Army The three towns of the three towns can be glimpsed. ”

The strength and weapons of the Pinglu army are growing rapidly and changing, which is a signal in itself, and the Shangyunxi Department of Puzhou has accepted a large number of Liang troops, and is in the process of reorganization, and it is said that Wang Miao's stay was also seen in Puzhou, which means that the center of gravity of the Xuzhou Privy Council is still in the north, and the strength of the Puzhou garrison is also in a period of rapid expansion.

It seems that Puzhou is close to Huazhou and Huazhou, and confronts the Jin army, but Yuan Wuxing does not think that Xuzhou will take the initiative to fight the Shatuo people.

This is something that many people have not noticed, in Yuan Wuxing's opinion, if Jiang Feng really intends to use troops in the south, then there will be no such move.

Resources are limited, if you tilt the north, the south will naturally get less, which can also figure out the other party's strategic focus, not the Shatuo people,
