Section 36 Hands of the Hands
Gu Shijun's position is also changing with the times, which also makes Jiang Feng and others very concerned about the prospect of Daliang and Nanyang joining forces to defeat Cai. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Everyone is not very optimistic about Caizhou, because the strength of the Liang and the heritage of Nanyang are not comparable to Caizhou, especially now that the Jin army is unfavorable, the Taining army has not yet sent troops, and the probation army is trapped by ant thieves, these many factors are intertwined, which means that the prospects of Caizhou are bleak.
But Jiang Feng always had doubts about the Nanyang Army, because an army that had not experienced the test of a great war and a hard battle was always difficult to reassure.
Looking at Nanyang's population, economy, magic, and martial arts masters over the years, all of these are all brilliant, but only in foreign wars are lackluster.
Over the years, Nanyang has rarely fought with foreign enemies, and when it comes to army performance, it can be traced back to the battle with the Xiao family in Xiangyang ten years ago.
At that time, Nanyang had an army of 80,000, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the two sides fought fiercely on the front line of Da Xian Mountain, and the grain road of Nanyang was cut off and forced to withdraw.
In the end, both sides claimed victory, and Nanyang said that it had no intention of occupying Xiangyang, but only wanted to teach the Xiao family a lesson, and the goal had been achieved, while the Xiao family said that they had resolutely resisted Nanyang's invasion, so that their aggressive intentions could not succeed.
Because it was a war ten years ago, Jiang Feng did not know what the situation of that war was, but from what he learned, the performance of the Nanyang Army in the battle was not satisfactory, more than 30,000 people of the Xiangyang Army successfully sniped the Nanyang army on the front line of Da Xian Mountain for more than a month, the two sides fought several fierce battles, and the Nanyang Army was never able to break through the front line of Dan Xian, and the result was that the grain road was cut off by the Xiangyang Army and was forced to withdraw to Nanyang.
Of course, that war was ten years ago, can not explain anything, it is said that after the war, the Nanyang side also carried out a large-scale adjustment of the army, strengthened the combat effectiveness of the army, especially in recent years, the Nanyang army in the magic of a vigorous promotion, has begun to equip the army, but the effect is not tested.
"My lord, if the Nanyang Army really broke through the defense line of the Caizhou Army in one fell swoop, then wouldn't we really want to return Gwangju City to Liu Xuan?" Zhang Yue couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there any other way to change this result?"
"If Liu Xuan really defeats the Caizhou army in one fell swoop and comes with victory, can we fight against it?" Jiang Feng shook his head slowly, "Even the Great Liang will not support us for Liu Xuan, but will put pressure on us to make us withdraw from Gwangju, at that time we can keep Gushi, or Huzhou is already a very good result." ”
"My lord, if Liu Xuan takes Guangzhou, Huzhou can only be a castle in the air, with Liu Xuan's character, it is impossible to tolerate the existence of this Huzhou, and Daliang will definitely support Liu Xuan to take down Gushi in order to befriend Liu Xuan, because only in this way can Liu Xuan directly confront Huaibei, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the east side of Daliang. Yang Kan has become more and more integrated into this group, and he thinks about problems from the perspective of Gu Shijun, "so we can't let this situation happen." ”
"Can't you let this situation happen?" Jiang Feng laughed thoughtfully, and glanced at Yang Kan, who was also calm, "Qilang, you seem to have something to say." ”
"Hehe, my lord, I think you should think the same way as I do. Yang Kan stroked the Ice King Halberd in his hand, and said calmly: "Our Gushi Army can't sit back and watch this situation that is not favorable to us appear, we should do something, and we can also make a difference." ”
Zhang Yue also seemed to understand the hidden meaning of the conversation between the two, and stroked the short beard under his chin, "If the Nanyang Army attacks from Shenzhou, it will inevitably go deep into the hinterland of Caizhou, and this war is not so easy to see, right? If I am the chief general of the Caizhou Army, I can completely lure the enemy into the depths, or take a steady retreat to drag the other party's supply line." ”
Zhang Yue's words were a little explicit, after all, Daliang and Nanyang are now allies, and Daliang and Gushijun are also allies, and Nanyang is still sending money, food and weapons to Gushi.
Jiang Feng and Yang Kan both looked at each other and smiled.
"Let's see how strong the tenacity of the Caizhou army is, if the Caizhou army can't resist the attack of the Nanyang army, it is afraid of forming a one-sided situation, and the southern part of Caizhou is the essence hinterland of the Yuan family for many years, if it retreats like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the gentry who support the Yuan family, right? The gentry in places like Xinxi, Zhenyang, and Baoxin are the most powerful supporters of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family also needs to consider this factor. Yang Kan groaned: "It depends on whether the Yuan family can convince these gentry, if these gentry can be greatly mobilized to block the Nanyang army with their own private army, maybe they can delay the offensive of the Nanyang army." ”
"I really hope to see the Nanyang Army and the Caizhou Army can fight a tug-of-war on the line of Zhenyang and Ruyang, but looking at the current situation, it is very difficult, the strength of the Caizhou Army on the southern front is too weak, only less than 15,000 troops, the Nanyang Army is three times that of the other party, and the master generals are exhausted, even Liu Xuan has to go out in person, I am afraid that the Caizhou Army is more auspicious and less auspicious, even if Yuan Changhe personally sits on the southern front, it is difficult to reverse the overall situation. Jiang Feng analyzed.
"Then ...... of us?" Yang Kan frowned, "If that's the case, I'm afraid we need to prepare early." ”
Jiang Feng didn't speak for a while, but Zhang Yue hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that my deeds will be exposed, if Liu Xuan finds out, he will definitely retaliate, and I'm afraid we will also suffer it." ”
Jiang Feng also knew that it was difficult to rely on the infantry army alone to carry out an attack across the border like this, and he could only rely on the cavalry, but hundreds of cavalry troops appeared, and no one believed that if you wanted to push it to the gentry private soldiers in southern Caizhou, and a little investigation could find out the details.
If Liu Xuan really wants to take the handle, or as long as Liu Xuan is suspicious, he just doesn't have the handle, and he will be counted on the head of Gu Shijun, and it will be a big trouble.
"This matter has to be considered in the long run, and if you want to do it, you have to think it through. Jiang Feng hasn't thought about it yet, this is a last resort, but often the worst plan will come true, which has become a tried and tested law.
Jiang Feng has been thinking about this problem since he came back from the school, although he can't see that the Nanyang Army can have such a sharp edge now, but if it comes to the end, it will be a little too late to think about it.
If you really want to take measures, you can only use the cavalry, but can you hide the scouts of Nanyang?
This is indeed a difficult problem.
While pondering, the guards came to report that Xu Ning asked to see him.
Xu Ning? Jiang Feng has a bit of a headache, most of them are here for Gwangju, hasn't this woman understood the current situation? She really still has the illusion of returning to the era when the Xu family was in charge of Gwangju? If this is the case, then she really has nothing to say.
But now he can't turn it away, Jiang Feng doesn't intend to break the promise of the Xu family, unless the Xu family's behavior touches his bottom line.
"Please let her in. ”
Xu Ning's arrival brought a burst of grass and trees, to be pretty, a filial piety, a snow-white skirt made Xu Ning add a bit of a clear atmosphere, and a thoughtful expression between his eyebrows made Jiang Feng not admit that this woman did have her own unique charm.
Or maybe this woman's personality is not so flattering, but you have to admit that in this era, such independent women are rare, not attached to a certain man, but more hope to use their own wisdom to fight for what belongs to them.
"Erlang, are you back?"
"Well, Ning Niang, sit. Jiang Feng nodded, "You're here for Gwangju, right?" I just wanted to talk to you." ”
"Gwangju?" Xu Ning seemed to be stunned, "I heard that the Yuan clan is going to evacuate and hand over Gwangju to us Gu Shijun and Liu Xuan, so that the two tigers can fight?" ”
Jiang Feng smiled, "Not exactly, the Yuan clan is unable to keep Gwangju, and wants us to help them attract some attention from Liu Xuan, but their plan may not succeed, I have already negotiated with Liu Xuan, and on the condition of Gwangju, in exchange for money, food and weapons." ”
"Ah?" Rao is Xu Ning already had some psychological preparations, and he didn't expect Jiang Feng to say so directly that he would hand over Guangzhou to Liu Xuan, and his breathing suddenly tightened: "Erlang, do you have to hand it over to Liu Xuan?"
One sentence exposed Xu Ning's thoughts, and Jiang Feng also felt funny, "Ning Niang, do you think our Gushi Army's current strength can maintain Gwangju?"
Xu Ning was speechless for a while, of course she knew the situation of the Gushi Army now, and Xu Ziqing also clearly told him that Jiang Feng was now more inclined to regard Gushi as the foundation, and the importance of Gwangju was far less than that of Gushi, so she specially asked herself to pay attention to her words and proportions, and not to always use the original Xu family's psychological stereotype to consider the problem, she is not only a member of the Xu clan now, but also a wife of the Jiang family.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Ning calmed down his mood a little, and smiled, "I just think it's a pity that Gwangju has gained and lost, but as you said, the strength of our Gushi Army is indeed not enough to keep Gwangju, especially now that Liu Xuanlian is in full swing to take Shenzhou and Anzhou, it is also reasonable to avoid their edge." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Feng was surprised, he originally planned to tease Xu Ning, he knew very well the meaning of Gwangju to the Xu family, but he didn't expect Xu Ning to be able to say this, it simply subverted his cognition, and Xu Ning became so reasonable? "Ning Niang, do you really think so?" (To be continued.) )
