Ryazan, the leader of the tooth army, Zhuang Yongsheng, made a deep impression on Jiang Feng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It seems that Ryazan is still very good at choosing people, Zhuang Yongsheng is cunning and heroic, shrewd but can see the long-term, no wonder he can enter the eyes of Ryazan people.

As Zhuang Yongsheng himself said, Ryazan gave him such a chance to get ahead, so he cherished it, but Huaiyou didn't need Zhuang Yongsheng and his brothers in this situation, and he didn't want to be in Huaiyou, so he would rather choose a path that seemed to be risky but maybe the rewards would be greater.

Jiang Feng also asked Zhuang Yongsheng why he was optimistic about himself, he didn't believe that just a few words from Wang Miao could make Zhuang Yongsheng, a character who had worked the edge of life and death for many years, bow to his ears, Zhuang Yongsheng's answer was also very straightforward, he said that he saw that different groups from Daliang, Heshuo and Shouzhou could work together under Jiang Feng, so he chose so.

sent Zhuang Yongsheng away, and Jiang Feng was also seriously considering Zhuang Yongsheng's idea.

A battalion of only five or six hundred people is indeed of little significance to the current Huaiyou, and Gu Hua's department is insufficient, and it can be supplemented by the reserve army system that is slowly being formed by Huaiyou, but the idea put forward by Zhuang Yongsheng is extremely creative.

Zhuang Yongsheng offered to let him take these five or six hundred people back to Huaibei, but no longer stay in Yingzhou, because with the strengthening of the control of the Caizhou army, these hundreds of people could not survive in Yingzhou at all, so he planned to bring these people to Bozhou.

But Bozhou is not a place to stay for a long time, Shang Yunliu's main force has been defeated by the Caizhou army, and the current situation, Caizhou may take a break in Yingzhou, but Bozhou has no strength to resist the Caizhou army, and Xuzhou can no longer draw mobile troops, unless the Great Liang army goes south.

Zhuang Yongsheng proposed to be supported by Huaiyou, and he sent people back to Juye, Fanghe, Jinxiang, and Rencheng to recruit relatives and friends in the past, because the two states of Yanyun were intertwined with floods and droughts in the past two years, the harvest was not good, and the taxes of the Taining army were getting heavier and heavier, and the trend of exile fleeing was also becoming more and more intense, so it was not difficult to recruit people.

According to Zhuang Yongsheng's idea, he could reorganize an army, and then pretend to belong to Huaibei, and operate in the area of Yuxian and Yongcheng in the north of Bozhou, and if the battle situation was unfavorable, he could go north along the border of Xuzhou and Songzhou to return to Yanyun.

This is what impresses Jiang Feng.

Caizhou's capture of Yingbo is already an unstoppable thing, Jiang Feng does not believe that Caizhou only has arrangements in Yingzhou, but not in Bozhou.

Yingzhou has its own intervention and the reinforcements of the Xuzhou army have already played an infernal scene, playing themselves and the Xuzhou army in the palm of their hands, how can they not be prepared in Bozhou?

Therefore, he felt that Bozhou might not be able to hold it, that is, how long the time of the guard could be depended on the ability of the Caizhou army to control the situation in Yingzhou.

Intelligence shows that the surname Jiao in Yingzhou has come together with the Yuan family, and the original Yingzhou governor Shi Jiaoxiang has thrown himself into the Yuan family, and it is expected that the Yuan family's situation in Yingzhou will be better than imagined, which is also what makes Jiang Feng feel the most anxious.

Huaiyou's foundation is still too weak, and his own Shu origin and Huaiyou's current pattern also restricts himself, knowing that Huaibei is declining and declining, he should have started to arrange the arrangement to contact the Huaibei Prefectures' big surname Wang clan, Wuwentang is indeed doing this work, but the progress is obviously unsatisfactory.

This has a lot to do with the fact that the prominent families in these states and counties have doubts about some of their practices in Huaiyou.

However, Jiang Feng knew that no matter how difficult it was, this job had to be carried out.

There are always some far-sighted people who can see the opportunities and risks that come with changing the situation.

The imminent collapse of the Shi family's rule in Huaibei has been a public topic of discussion among many gentry and nobles in the Huaibei Prefectures, and in addition to several major military leaders within the reform army, these gentry and nobles have to look at the surrounding feudal lords.

Needless to say, the Liang Zhu family in the north, the Pinglu Wang family, the Taining Zhu family, the Caizhou Yuan family, the Li Yu of Wu Land, and themselves are probably all included in the discussion of these families.

Of course, Jiang Feng also knows that these wealthy families are probably not too optimistic about themselves, firstly, Huaiyou's foundation is shallow, secondly, the center of gravity is in Huainan, and thirdly, the strength is inferior, so even if it is an alternative, it is placed at the end.

However, for Jiang Feng, Yingbo Erzhou can be abandoned, but the Yuan family must not be allowed to take Xuzhou, this is the bottom line.

Even if Xuzhou was obtained by the feudal lords of Daliang or Taining and Pinglu, Jiang Feng felt that it was acceptable, but he could not let the Yuan family get it.

But Jiang Feng also carefully assessed that although the geographical location of Xuzhou is extremely important in the eyes of many people, it may not be the case for Daliang.

Da Liang has lost his enterprising spirit, and as the master of Da Liang, Liang Wang Zhu Yun, almost all of his energy is now focused on two things.

The first is to balance the internal strife of the internal mountains, and the second is to guard against the threat of Hedong, apart from these two things, Zhu Yun is not interested, or he simply has no more strength to ask.

Just like retaking Nanchenzhou, it would have been a very simple thing for a chief and powerful feudal like Daliang, but as a result, a battle has caused internal strife within Daliang, not to mention such a big move as the use of troops against Xuzhou, and it is unknown that it may make Daliang's own family collapse.

The Taining Army and the Lu Army may be interested in Xuzhou, but they have even made a mess of infighting in their own territories, especially the states under the rule of the Taining Army, not only bandits are everywhere, but also the gentry are also collectively resisted, and even developed to the point that the government decree does not leave the county seat.

Jiang Feng sometimes wondered if these feudal lords really didn't care about anything except recruiting troops to fight, and it was not easy to survive.

As for Li Yu in Huainan, he is too busy to take care of himself, and it is obviously impossible, if Huaiyou does not intervene, Xuzhou is really likely to fall into the hands of Caizhou, Jiang Feng does not believe that those people within the probation army can work together to resist foreign enemies, looking at Shang Yunliu's performance, you can know that most of these people are simple-minded and well-limbed characters.

And Jiang Feng will never allow Xuzhou to fall into the hands of the Yuan family, which will make the Yuan family a big disaster that Huaiyou will not be able to make up.

Others are powerless to stop it, so they can only come by themselves, and some things must be done now, even if it seems that the probation army still has the power to resist, but Jiang Feng doubts that there are still characters like Lu Tong in the probation army, and he has already hooked up with the Yuan family, once the time is ripe, it will be a counterattack, and the city will change the king's flag, and when the time comes, it will be too late.

So Zhuang Yongsheng's proposal made Jiang Feng's heart pound.

Xuzhou's local control is now rapidly weakening, if Zhuang Yongsheng can be allowed to arm an army in the border areas of Juye, Fanghe, Jinxiang, Rencheng and the northern border of Xuzhou, then once Huaiyou decides to go north to attack Xuzhou, this army will become a surprise army.

Kou Wenli also came to see Jiang Feng with apprehension and excitement.

From the initial negotiation with Tian Chunlai to the later finalization of the matter, Kou Wenli was a little in a trance.

The cunning rabbit died, the good bow was hidden, the cunning rabbit died, and the lackeys cooked, this truth Kou Wenli still understands very well.

A person like himself, put on the skin of a water bandit, he never expected to be able to take it off, the Huainan gentry would not accept people like themselves, whether it was Yang Pu or Li Yu, they all used their own ideas, Jiang Feng may be the same, he once thought so, but Tian Chunlai pointed him out another way.

In Wu Land, Kou Wenli can't get rid of the skin of the water bandits, so what about jumping out of Wu Land?

As Tian Chunlai said, this lord values talents with ability, he Kou Wenli has no other skills, that is, relying on water kung fu, he can lead these brothers on the water, and Kou Wenli's ability to manipulate the boat is still confident that he is not inferior to others.

This sovereign's mind is not limited to Huainan, which Tian Chunlai revealed to Kou Wenli, which means that he attaches great importance to the military generals who are good at making Zhou Ji, because his eyes are more on the broader territory beyond Wu Land.

Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, up and down the river, Pengli Lake, Dongting Lake, Taihu Lake, Danyang Lake, Caoqu, and even the sea, Tian Chunlai vaguely allocated these, all of which made Kou Wenli fascinated.

This also means that you will be of great use, and it means that you don't have to worry about the end of the rabbit and the dog.

If you do know what you do, so what? When the lord can rule the world, and the unanimous edict can make him a marquis, and the hero will no longer be where he comes from.

Of course, this is a long-term vision, but it is enough to make Kou Wenli smeared with it.

Seeing Kou Wenli's trance-like appearance, Tian Chunhua, who accompanied him, was a little envious.

This guy, who has taken shit luck, is a water bandit, and with some power in Chaohu Lake and Shuixushui, he was actually taken by the lord, and he can fall into the command of an army out of thin air, and he is on an equal footing with his eldest brother, and even he can only be his deputy.

However, Tian Chunhua also knew that although Kou Wenli had the factor of luck in it, if he didn't have some skills on the water, this commander would not have his turn to sit, and Tian Chunhua also knew the lord's intention to arrange himself in the position of deputy commander of the Third Army of the Water Army.

Even Kou Wenli accepted this arrangement very calmly, and even relieved because of this, in his own words, if Tian Chunhua did not come to serve as the deputy commander, he would not be steady.

"Brother Wenli, it's our turn, we don't have to be too rigid when we see the lord later, the king is very humble and a person, but he likes to listen to the truth, what questions he asks, you tell the truth, you don't have to hide it, and you don't need to worry about angering him. ”

There was a sound of footsteps in the hall, followed by a send-off sound, Tian Chunhua knew that it was his turn to be a group of people, so he whispered.
