Wanqiu.

The hometown of Chen Guo here has always been the city of the hinterland of the Central Plains and a rich place.

The elegant house is heavily guarded, the old man strokes the long beard under his chin, his ruddy face shows a satisfied look, the vermilion brocade robe, the jade belt wraps around the waist, and the wrench on the right finger is yellow and simple, which is extraordinary at a glance.

"Guogong, below Chenzhou, but we only have one army stationed on Taikang's side for the time being, mainly because we are worried about stimulating Daliang's side, and we are also afraid that the Jin army will think we have something. He Jun smiled lightly on his face, and bowed his hand slightly, "But if the Jin army really breaks through the front line of Guancheng, I think I don't think I can take care of it much." ”

"Hmm, is it true that the first line of Guancheng has been broken through, and the girder can still survive?" Yuan Huaihe stroked his long beard and shook his head, "There is no need to taboo anything, Ziyi, let them enter Taikang, we don't want to enter Bianzhou and the Shatuo people to tear their faces, but we are determined to win Songzhou!"

"Well, the eldest brother is right, we don't need to be too taboo, Liu Tong occupies the line of Yiyang, Lu Hun, and Yique, and the Shatuo people still can't endure it? Nanyang has to make even more inches, and take Yingyang, Dengfeng, and Suchengdu, and I haven't seen any action by the Jin army against Nanyang?" Yuan Huaifang answered, "The Shatuo people are still a bunch of guys who are soft and afraid of evil, who is extremely vicious, they are stunned." ”

"Not really, the Shatuo people don't want to make another wave before they take the number one enemy of Daliang, if they really want Bianzhou to fall into the hands of the Shatuo people, you look at it again, Nanyang still dares to grin, Li Cunhou will definitely not show mercy. Yuan Huaiqing disagreed.

"I have to say that the strength of the Shatuo people is stronger than we imagined, we always thought that they were just cavalry, but we didn't expect that the siege of the city is not weak. Yuan Huaide also frowned, "Luoyang doesn't say anything, there is an internal response, but Yanshi and Gongxian were captured by the Shatuo people in just one day, which is unexpected." ”

"Although the Shatuo people are Hu people, but they have long been sinicized, Li Cunhou never even mentioned the surname Zhu Xie, and then look at the group of high-ranking officials and nobles under him, even if they are cavalry generals, they all keep tea in their mouths and silk in their hands, how different are they from the Han people? That is, those miscellaneous Hu people who have not yet been sinicized still retain the customs of their Hu people. ”

Yuan Huaifang has been to Hedong many times and has a deep understanding of the Shatuo people.

"But they still retained the Hu people's riding and archery style, which was not lost, and maintained the combat effectiveness of their cavalry, and there were quite a few Han people in Hedong, so their infantry army was actually basically Hedong Han people, and there were also many Sinicized Hu people. ”

"The Shatuo people are also very different from other Hu people in the north in terms of magic, and they are even much stronger than the three towns of Heshuo, and the Khitan people seem to have woken up in recent years, and they are actively learning from the Khitan people in this regard, and it is said that many of the magic talents of Heshuo have been absorbed by the Khitans, which is a not very good sign. He Jun also added.

Yuan Huaihe's face slowly sank, the beam is about to die, maybe there is no more big tree to shelter from the wind and rain, the Yuan family will have to directly face the iron hooves of the Shatuo people, is the Yuan family ready?

The wise move is to join forces with Nanyang and Xuzhou to fight against the Hu people, but the problem is that Songzhou, the Yuan family will win, and Xuzhou will let go?

Yuan Huaihe didn't think that Jiang Feng would "take care of the overall situation", once the hungry wolf opened his mouth, the bite would not loosen, just look at his offensive strategy against Pinglu, not to mention the deep hatred that San Lang and Qilang formed against the attack on Xuzhou during this period.

"Huaiqing, do you think Xuzhou will strike first and take Songzhou first?" Yuan Huaihe had to think about it.

Today, Xuzhou is not the right of Huai in the past, after annexing Pinglu Town, Jiang Feng's strength has swelled dramatically, and even Yuan Huaihe is very shocked that Jiang Feng is so bold and brazenly attacks Qingzhou.

You must know that the surface strength of Pinglu Town is not inferior to Caizhou, and even surpasses it, of course, there are many problems within Pinglu Town, but who said that it can be swallowed in one bite, Yuan Huaihe will never believe it.

But Jiang Feng did it, swallowed Pinglu Town, not to mention, but also took Wang Shouxin, Liu Yansi, Wang Guoxi, Zhang Junyue and other generals for his own use.

The intelligence from Xuzhou showed that Jiang Feng really handed over the military power of a town to Liu Yansi and Wang Shouxin, trusted Ruosi, and replaced Yuan Huaihe, he thought that he would never be able to do it.

As for Zhu Mao's side, Yuan Huaihe didn't care too much.

He always thought that Zhu Mao should have surrendered to Jiang Feng a long time ago, Jiang Feng and Zhu Mao should have joined forces to act in a big scene, went out to Jeju, and then raided Qizhou at a critical time, attracting Wang Shouzhong's attention, and finally being taken advantage of by Jiang Feng.

But Wang Shouxin and Liu Yansi, these generals, surrendered to Jiang Feng in a real way, if they were not sure, Jiang Feng would not be able to hand over the army of a town to the other party, Yuan Huaihe couldn't figure out how Jiang Feng could make the other party willingly annex.

Except for the loss of part of the Pinglu army when Huaiyou attacked Qingzhou and Zhu Mao's attack on Qizhou, Jiang Feng almost completely received the Pinglu army.

You must know that this is more than 50,000 horses, and now the entire Caizhou army is only 100,000 horses after this emergency expansion, Jiang Feng took over at once, and these Pinglu troops are not the same as the newly expanded Caizhou army, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared, which is what Yuan Huaihe is most worried about.

If Xuzhou is determined to compete with Caizhou for Songzhou, I am afraid that this battle will be quite fierce, but Caizhou has no way to retreat, so we have to think about how to deal with it first.

"Judging from the information obtained so far, Zhu Mao's Tianping Army in Xuzhou has been reorganized and enriched the fastest, they have been changing their outfits this month, and their weapons and armor have been redressed on a large scale, we think it should be a pre-preparation for Cao Pu Erzhou, once the beam can not be supported, it is estimated that the Tianping Army will fully take over Cao Pu Erzhou, in fact, Cao Pu Erzhou is almost undefended, and the gentry over there should have already colluded with Xuzhou. ”

"What about Songzhou?" Yuan Huaihe frowned slightly.

"The Ziqing Army led by Liu Yansi has arrived in Xiao County, but it seems that it has not yet been reorganized and enriched, Wang Shouxin's Wuning Army is stepping up its eastward advance, and it is estimated that it has passed Cheng County at this time, and it is expected to arrive in Pengcheng within three days. Yuan Huaiqing pondered for a moment, "In Songzhou, our side and Xuzhou side should have contact with the local gentry, and Pang Yuan should also be aware of it, but he can't help it." ”

"What will happen if we attack first?" said Yuan Huaihe in a deep voice.

"Taikang's troops are not yet in place, but Bozhou, Yongcheng, Yuxian and Qiaoxian garrisons also need to be adjusted, but they are quite neat, if you launch an attack immediately, there is no problem with taking Gushu and Xiayi counties, the key is that now Pang Yuan has shrunk the strength of the Tianxing Left Army to Songcheng, if you want to fight Songcheng, I am afraid it will be difficult to go down with a drum, and not take Songcheng, Chuqiu, Shanfu, Yucheng, and Dangshan counties in the north and east, if you want to attack, it is easy to be attacked by the Xuzhou army from the east. ”

"Can't Xu Junluo over there in Songcheng think of a way?" Yuan Huaihe became a little irritable, if he couldn't seize Songzhou in advance, he really had to fight for Songzhou with real swords and guns on the Xuzhou side, then this battle would be tricky.

Pang Yuan seemed to be a little aware and took very strict precautions, Xu Junluo didn't dare to make a mistake, and he couldn't find a chance for a while. Yuan Huaiqing can understand the mood of the head of the family, but this kind of thing can actually be done overnight?

It has taken a lot of effort to catch Xu Junluo's line, but after all, Xu Junluo is just a member of the army, not a general, and Pang Yuan is not something that can be bought, and his family is still in Bianliang City.

Yuan Huaihe took a deep breath, it was time to make a decision, he couldn't wait for Pang Yuan's movement all the time, and then waited, once Xuzhou was the first to take it first, if he wanted to recapture Songzhou from Xuzhou, the price would be too great.

Seeing the head of the house clasping his hands together and rubbing constantly, this is the unique action of the head of the house to make a decision in the face of a major matter, and several other people are holding their breath, once they decide, I am afraid that they will really have to go to war with Xuzhou, and this time the war may not be like before.

"I have decided, we must take Songzhou, no matter how big the price is, I think it is worth it, Ziyi, you will immediately lead the troops north to Taikang tonight, and you must prepare for the attack in three days, Huaide as your deputy, the goal is Zhecheng, Xiangyi, Ningling, Zhecheng, Xiangyi There is no need to garrison, through the local gentry to maintain order, and the army suppresses the front line of Songcheng. Huaifang, you are the same, go back and immediately prepare to go north from Yongcheng, control Xiayi, Yucheng and Dangshan, especially Dangshan, but don't touch Chuqiu and Shan Father, which is too close to the Xuzhou army. ”

Everyone present frowned, this battle was not easy to fight, it did not solve the Tianxing Left Army in Song City, and there was still the Xuzhou Army that was constantly gathering in the east, which was easy to be broken by the other party.

"In addition, arrange someone to contact Pang Bo in Bianliang City, he is the head of the Pang family, he should understand the situation, strive for his support, what conditions he wants, we will all agree to come down, if you want gold and jade, as long as we can take it, he Pang family, willing to come to Caizhou We welcome, unwilling, to Chang'an, we escort all the way to ensure safe delivery!"

Yuan Huaihe's words are also categorical.

If he hesitates at this time, it will be really difficult to predict, and he knows that even so, there will be many problems.

The Pang family is a Liang family, how can it be easily persuaded to be bought?

Besides, what he wants to get, I'm afraid Xuzhou also wants to get it, so he doesn't dare to wait any longer, and if he waits until the Xuzhou army is ready to take place, it will be too late.

"Okay!Then I'll leave now, I won't eat lunch, go back early, I can prepare early, the third and seventh have always thought that they should start earlier, I originally wanted to mention this topic, the head of the family decided the best first!" Yuan Huaifang said excitedly: "Please wait for the good news!"
