The situation in Pinglu in the past few years can only be said to be self-preservation, but Wang Shouxin is also a person who is not willing to be lonely, otherwise he would not want to annex Haizhou when Huaibei is chaotic. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, Haizhou's salt profits are too big, so big that people can't refuse, even if they know that this is a matter of fire, some people still can't help but do it, but if they do it, they must be mentally prepared to pay the price.

Yanyun, Pinglu, and Heshuo, as well as Caizhou Yuan and Li Yu of Wudi, who need to face in the south, it seems that it will not be easy to take Xuzhou, on the contrary, there will be more responsibilities pressed up.

Li Yu's side is relatively simpler, as long as he doesn't touch it now, it is estimated that touching Qin Quan's gang of ant thieves can make Li Yu want to live and die.

Various circumstances reflect that Qin Quan really wants to "be good", or wants to build Chuzhou into a base for ant thieves.

He wanted to follow Zhu Wen's old path, thinking that he could become a vassal lord by changing his skin, and if he used a generation to wash his name, he could become a second Zhu Liang.

The idea is very good, and I can't say this possibility, but it's a pity that it's not the late Tang Dynasty, no one will give him this opportunity, the gentry have more choices, Wu Di Li Yu, Yue Guo Qian Yuanjun, the most unfortunate and their own Huaiyou, and the reputation of the ant thief is too stinky.

But now Jiang Feng is really unwilling to intervene in the affairs of Wu Di, so he will let Qin Quan and Li Yu have a good time.

Of course, if he can smooth out something, such as Hezhou and Chuzhou, or Xuanzhou, he doesn't mind, it all depends on whether the opportunity is ripe, but there is no doubt that for a long time in the future, the south will not be the center of gravity of Huaiyou.

With the four states of Hushou and Luhao in hand, the foundation of the granary of Huainan is already solid enough, as long as it can ensure that there will be no more war in these four states, and this large number of victims who have gone south are enriched, Jiang Feng is sure that the grain produced in these four states can meet the needs of the population in all his territories.

Besides, there are two states, Xuzhou and Sizhou, although they cannot be compared with the four states of Huainan, but at least they are fertile places with more than enough self-sufficiency.

The key is to give these places a respite.

Three years, this is a time period demarcated by Jiang Feng.

It is necessary to give three years of recuperation and recuperation in the fertile lands of the four prefectures of Huainan and Huaibei, so that these six prefectures can resume agricultural production as much as possible, such as the commerce and porcelain industry in Shouzhou, the iron-smelting industry in Xuzhou, and the salt industry in Haizhou.

It took three years to build a solid economic foundation for Huaiyou, which is the foundation of his future hegemony in the Central Plains and against the Hu people.

Seeing Jiang Feng's sudden distraction, a well-defined face looked particularly gloomy under the uncertain firelight.

Lu Qiming didn't know if his words had touched any taboo in Jiang Feng, and he was a little apprehensive.

glanced at Wang Miao, Yang Kan, and Mei Guo next to him, these three seemed to be accustomed to Jiang Feng's sudden out-of-the-sky situation, Wang Miao even gave him a look without making a fuss, and Lu Qiming relaxed slightly.

My foundation is still too thin, and my foundation is still too poor, which takes time and experience to precipitate.

Jiang Feng knows very well that his current apparent glory is based on his continuous victories, but as long as there is a miss, it may lead to unpredictable risks.

Whether it is Lu Qiming, Yu Mingzhen, or Zhuang Yongsheng, Chai Yong, Qin Han, these people, the reason why they are willing to follow them now is not because of how loyal they are to themselves, but because of reality and interests.

Lu Qiming and Yu Mingzhen chose themselves, that is because they have no one to choose from, and they themselves do not have the strength to dominate Xuzhou, Zhuang Yongsheng and Chai Yong chose themselves, because they feel that they are more optimistic about their prospects and can achieve greater success and benefits, and they are the same, if they want to be firmly tied to themselves, in addition to practical interests, they also need to make them feel that they are the most royal victors among the various feudal lords.

From the dragon's skill has always been the most tempting, no exception.

After a while, Jiang Feng woke up from his distraction and smiled apologetically: "Gong Lu, I thought of some other things, I'm sorry to ,......."

"Your Excellency, don't call someone a public anymore, it's better to call someone enlightened. ”

Although Lu Qiming's age is 20 years old for Changjiang Feng, the age of 40 years old is indeed not very old, and to be called a prince by the monarch, in addition to being highly respected and respected, there is also an age factor, Lu Qiming found that Jiang Feng said that Mei Guo and Qin Han and others who are similar to their age are commensurate with words, which can shorten the distance between the two sides, so he took the initiative to ask.

Jiang Feng naturally understood what Lu Qiming meant, but this is also a good thing for him, the situation in Xuzhou is complicated, and there are systems such as Shi Yu and Shang Yunxi, which belong to the enemy or friend and foe, and it is also a top priority to enter the state as soon as possible and tighten the people who belong to him, so of course he will not refuse Lu Qiming's closeness.

"Then so-and-so will call Brother Qiming. Jiang Feng was not informal, and continued the topic by himself: "I heard that Duke Yu wants to seize Muling Pass, if he wants to recapture Haizhou, is it to demarcate the border with Mizhou, or ......"

Lu Qiming naturally understood Jiang Feng's intentions, and hesitated, "Your Excellency, in a certain opinion, you might as well use Mingzhen to come forward to recruit and recruit the Taining Army, and you can also contact the Taining Army, if Zhu Mao is willing to surrender to Huaiyou, you might as well go straight to Mizhou, which can be regarded as a lesson to Pinglu, but if Zhu Mao resists stubbornly, it is not appropriate to cause more trouble, just take Haizhou back." ”

Lu Qiming's suggestion is quite pertinent, although the Taining Army is now exhausted, but if it really wants to jump over the wall in a hurry, it should not be underestimated, if it can disintegrate its henchmen, this is the best, if he himself is willing to surrender, no matter what his true thoughts are, Jiang Feng feels that it is acceptable, and then Zhu Maoruo is really sincere to Huaiyou, needless to say, if there is bad intentions, Jiang Feng also has a way to clean up the other party.

If you want to take advantage of the situation to take Mizhou, there is really no need for this, Mizhou is not a rich land, and once it is entangled with Pinglu, it will inevitably affect the Yanyun strategy.

However, Lu Qiming's suggestion that he and Yu Mingzhen separately surrendered the Taining Army made Jiang Feng very moved.

In fact, he originally had this idea, but before he could speak, Lu Qiming took the initiative to propose it, of course, it couldn't be better.

The strength of the Taining Army is now greatly reduced due to the lack of military resources due to the great drought, but the combat effectiveness of its armies still exists, if it can be incorporated into the Huaiyou system, it only needs a little rectification to make up for it, and it can be quickly recovered, and its combat effectiveness is even worse than that of the Luzhou and Huaibei armies, especially in the future, it is more suitable to deal with the Khitan iron cavalry that may go south.

However, how to recruit the Taining army needs to be discussed carefully, and at present, the matter of the Great Liang Army and Shang Yunxi needs to be solved first.

When he woke up, Jiang Feng found that he didn't want to get up.

In the past six months, he hasn't slept much, and the successive battle layouts have made his strings too tight, so that he doesn't even have the heart to think about other things around him, although there are many people around him who are helping him, but Jiang Feng knows that helping to help is helping after all, and the final decision is to take it himself.

Like going north to Xuzhou, it was not the best time after taking Luhao, and the opposition within Huaiyou was once very high, in the eyes of many people, Li Yu was dragged by Qin Quan, and he could take the opportunity to expand in Jiangnan, at least as long as he dragged and pressed, and Chu Erzhou should be completely available, and taking most of Huainan was enough to make Huaiyou have enough confidence to deal with any challenge.

Moreover, the situation in Huaibei is not good, once it is involved, it will inevitably affect the entire Huainan strategy, which is opposed by many people.

But in the end, he still went north against public opinion.

Jiang Feng can also understand their thoughts, this is that the coach and his subordinates are from different angles, so their views are also different.

They didn't think that the Yuan clan of Caizhou could swallow the three states of Xu Sihai in one bite, and thought that it took a year and a half to stabilize the four states of Luhao and Chu to occupy the new state, and then planned Xuzhou for a long time, so there was no need to launch the Northern Expedition in such a hurry.

But the reality also made them realize the correctness of Jiang Feng's opinion, even in this case, Da Liang and Caizhou Yuan both gritted their teeth to intervene in Xuzhou, you can imagine that after a year and a half, Caizhou Yuan relieved himself, can Huaiyou still take Xuzhou so easily?

Now this hurdle has finally passed.

In fact, the gains and losses like Haizhou are not important to Jiang Feng, because Haizhou is where it is, and the Pinglu Army will do that little way, as long as Huaiyou thinks about it, the Pinglu Army will either withdraw obediently, or only the lost troops will get out, and there are only these two roads.

This mansion is indeed worthy of being the mansion of a salt merchant, and the history may be less than a hundred years, but the distribution of the mansion is very ingenious, coupled with the century-old acacia in the courtyard, the exquisite craftsmen, it looks like the cool bluestone slabs, and the clear well water, which makes Jiang Feng very satisfied.

As soon as he turned over and sat up, the sound alarmed the guards outside, "Lord?!"

"It's alright, when is this going on?"

"It's three quarters of a year. ”

"Hmm. Jiang Feng felt that his mouth was a little bitter, got up and grabbed the teapot on the table, poured himself a bowl of herbal tea, and poured it into his stomach, only then did he feel much sober.

"Has anyone been here?"

"Lord Yatui has been here. ”

"Oh, is it still there? Who else?" Wang Miao came so early was also expected, and the next thing Cui Shang didn't come, so Wang Miao had to deal with it, Mei Miao is also a suitable negotiator, you might as well let Wang Miao take the lead, and Mei Miao assist.

Jiang Feng didn't plan to let Cui Shang, Yang Kan and Zhang Ting come forward, and if he wanted to negotiate with Da Liang, it was best to use people who were not from Da Liang, so as not to be embarrassed.

"There is only Lord Yatui, but Lord Yang seems to have come with Lord Yatui before, but Lord Yang left first. The guard hesitated.
