Jiang Feng got the news slightly later than Er Yuan.

He received news of the Jin army's march into Luoyang and the Caizhou army's withdrawal from Xuzhou almost simultaneously.

There is no doubt that the Caizhou army withdrew from Xuzhou so quickly, and did not even have time to snatch and plunder, which must have been due to the fact that the Jin army broke through the northwest defense line of Daliang.

As soon as Luoyang is lost, the Jin army can go straight to Zhengzhou, although it is not clear whether the Jin army is ready to destroy the Liang in one fell swoop, but one thing is certain, if the treasure land of Henan Mansion is lost, the Liang will no longer be the former Liang, and there will be no capital of the first strong domain.

Even if it can withstand the attack of the Jin army, it is at most a shelf of an ordinary strong domain, and according to the momentum of the Great Jin, the Shatuo people will not tolerate the survival of the Great Liang, even Nanyang and Caizhou behind the Great Liang will jump out and bite it.

This can be glimpsed from the rapid withdrawal of troops from Xuzhou in Caizhou and the fierce troops in the Gwangju area in Nanyang.

I'm afraid these two are ready to enter the game and share the food, just wait for the moment when the time is ripe.

Jiang Feng didn't know that in fact, when he received the news, the Nanyang army had already left Luyang Pass and marched north to Ruzhou.

For Nanyang Erliu, taking Ruzhou can not only lay a wedge in the Central Plains, but also set up a screen shield for the Nanyang Basin.

No matter how the relationship between the Shatuo people is positioned in the future, the line of Ruzhou and Xuzhou, which is backed by the Nanyang Basin, Nanyang has the confidence to face the Shatuo people without hesitation.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties experienced a period of more than 100 years of great division, during which countless heroes and heroes led the coquettish, but they failed to unify the Central Plains.

In the eyes of many people, it seems that there will be another confrontation between the north and the south like the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the era of the confrontation between Hu and Han.

Especially when he saw that the Dangxiang people went south to Guanzhong, the Shatuo people crossed south into the Central Plains, and the Khitan people sharpened their knives and Huo Huo wanted to get involved in Heshuo, Er Liu thought that he needed to preempt the cloth.

How Nanyang and Caizhou think about it, Jiang Feng can't care about it for the time being, and he doesn't have so much energy to ask, but he needs to think about what he should do.

The retreat of Caizhou's army can be regarded as a relief to him, so the arrangement in Pinglu will be much more relaxed, so that he will not be in a hurry to solve everything immediately and collect his troops to the south.

Neither Mizhou nor Haizhou has yet to reply, but Jiang Feng doesn't think things will change much.

On the other hand, Zhu Mao took Qizhou, but Zizhou remained very strangely silent, as if they needed to take a good look at how to face this situation, or they needed to see what kind of actions Mizhou and Haizhou would make.

It is not difficult to take Zizhou, but Jiang Feng does not plan to use his sword again, in his opinion, as long as things are calm in Mizhou and Haizhou, then Zizhou has no choice at all.

Faced with the Jin army beginning to show its superiority over Daliang in the Central Plains, Jiang Feng was still a little anxious in his heart.

Once the Great Liang is really destroyed, then the Huaiyou army will face the iron cavalry of the Shatuo people, and now, Huaiyou is far from being ready to deal with the Shatuo people head-on.

And it doesn't stop there.

The Khitans in the north have long been ambitious, if the Shatuo people really defeat the Great Liang, will the Khitans who were stimulated go south in advance?

When the three towns of Heshuo faced the Khitan Iron Cavalry, how much courage and courage could they have to face it?

Jiang Feng could even imagine that in the face of the Khitan iron cavalry rolling down, I am afraid that the army of the three towns of Heshuo will only collapse like rolling soup and fertile snow, and the Han people living in this land are afraid that they will also roll south like a torrent.

As soon as he won Pinglu, he might have to face hundreds of thousands or even millions of displaced people coming south again, which Jiang Feng definitely did not want to see.

This would be an extremely bad outcome, both financially and strategically, and he could not tolerate such a situation.

He needs to be prepared for the worst.

Sitting alone in the hall and thinking about it, it wasn't until the voice of the guard came from under the stairs outside the main hall that Jiang Feng woke up from his contemplation.

"How is it, Jiulang, is there any news?" Seeing Wang Miao hurrying over, Jiang Feng perked up and asked.

"Not yet, I guess I still have to grind on the Mizhou side, as for the Haizhou side, it's not so fast. Wang Miao shook his head, "My lord, it's not very good news, Nanyang has sent troops to Ruzhou." ”

As expected, Er Liu stepped on the rhythm here, but they didn't think about stepping out of this step, whether it was Da Liang or Shatuo, they would make a note for them. Jiang Feng shook his head.

"Make a note, Jun Gong, I don't think that the beam can still have a chance to turn over, maybe the beam can be delayed for a while, but it is unlikely that it will recover to the past, Nanyang Erliu can also see it very clearly. Wang Miao said calmly: "As for the Shatuo people, of course Nanyang will not mind their attitude, because they also know very well that they have never been the same people as the Shatuo people, Nanyang can form an alliance with Caizhou, and even join forces with us, but the Shatuo people will only be enemies, no matter now or in the future." ”

Wang Miao's analysis is incisive and sharp, and it can be seen that the contradictions between Hu and Han were already incompatible during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

In fact, the Han people did not reject such groups as the Sogdians and the Persian Hu merchants who actively integrated into the Han culture, but they found it difficult to accept the Hu people such as the Dangxiang people and the Khitans, who still retained their primitive clan and tribal atmosphere.

For example, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, Di, and Qiang tribes in the Northern and Southern Dynasties have been causing trouble in the north, because of this, although the Shatuo people have won the approval of Li Tang in Guanzhong, it has always been difficult to obtain the recognition of the Central Plains and the southern scholars, largely not because they are Hu people, but because they have not really accepted the culture of the Han people.

"Jiulang, if we can quickly solve the Pinglu problem, what do you think we should do next?"

Jiang Feng had to think about the long-term problem.

The military superiority of the Great Jin over the Great Liang had already begun to appear, and he did not know how long the Great Liang could hold out.

If Huaiyou is strong enough, or Daliang still has medicine to save him, he is even willing to help Daliang, but Huaiyou has been encroaching on whales in the past two years, from Luhao Chuzhou to Xusi Erzhou, and then Yanyunyi Sanzhou, followed by non-stop soldiers Pinglu, it can be said that Huaiyou is already a little indigestion.

Huaiyou no longer has the ability to expand outward, nor does it have enough military resources, at least for a while.

Huaiyou needs to stop and digest these newly incorporated states and counties.

This is not something that can be done in a year and a half, according to Jiang Feng's concept, it will take at least two to three years, which is already the shortest time.

It can be said that except for the Huainan Prefectures, the entire prefectures north of Huaishui have more or less problems, especially the Yanyunyi and Pinglu Prefectures, which are not in good condition.

The Pinglu prefectures may be slightly better than the three prefectures of Yanyunyi, but they are also limited, except for the two prefectures of Ziqing, which are in a better situation, like the three prefectures of Qizhou and Denglaimi, which are also a little stretched in the face of drought.

It can only be said that Wang Shouzhong's prestige in Pinglu is still good, so he can still suppress it, otherwise, the three states of Denglaimi will be like Yanyunyi, full of bandits and displaced people.

Jiang Feng was thinking, once Nanyang and Caizhou joined the battle against Daliang, would Daliang still be able to hold on?

Caizhou must first attack Chenzhou, and then Songzhou.

These two places are determined to win for Caizhou, Huaiyou dares to cut off Hu in advance, and it is estimated that Caizhou will dare to fight with Huaiyou at all costs, and it will not be like child's play to invade Xuzhou as before.

In fact, Huaiyou doesn't have the heart to be greedy now, which is why Jiang Feng can generously hand over Qizhou to Zhu Mao, and he can even hand over Zizhou to Zhu Mao, as long as Zhu Mao can take on the responsibility of guarding the west for Huaiyou.

But Zhu Mao is not the material that governs the place.

The generals under his command are good at fighting, but when it comes to governing and operating the localities, they are helpless, which is also a common problem of many feudal lords.

Wang Shouzhong is actually not much better, otherwise the Pinglu Prefectures would not be like this.

Wang Miao understood Jiang Feng's thoughts, and the current Huaiyou was indeed not suitable for being involved in the battle of the Central Plains, but even if Huaiyou did not want to be involved, the question was whether the situation in the Central Plains could drag on for a few years?

Since this is the case, then Huaiyou has to face this reality.

"Princess, I'm afraid we'll have to plan for the worst. Wang Miao smiled bitterly, "The Shatuo people are not so easy to fool, and I also think that the Khitan people in the north are afraid that they will not be able to hold their breath, and we don't have much time." ”

"Then what do you mean......" Jiang Feng sighed.

"This is why we want to peacefully dissolve the Lu army as quickly as possible, Wang Shouxin and Liu Yansi's tens of thousands of troops can be used by us, with this army, whether it is the Shatuo people or the Khitan people, if you want to act arbitrarily, you have to consider our attitude. Wang Miao thought further.

"I can lower the conditions, let Wang Shouzhong think about it, if I am willing to leave with the Wang clan, I guarantee that the assets in the city of Qizhou can be taken away, and even the land and houses can be sold at a discount! Of course, he is willing to keep the land in Qingzhou and Zizhou, I can also agree, but then we need to pay rent and pay according to the rules we still have. Jiang Feng said in a deep voice: "He needs to ensure that Haizhou and Mizhou will quickly open the door and surrender." ”

This is also a negative effect of Jiang Feng's attitude towards Yang Pu in Xuzhou in Luzhou, that is, Wang Shouzhong knows that Jiang Feng is a trustworthy person and will not easily damage his reputation and reputation, so Wang Shouzhong is a lion in terms of the whereabouts of the Wang family and the processing and realization of the Wang family's family property. 21010
