From Huoqiu to Shouzhou, it can be no more than Anfeng County, but Jiang Feng still chose to take a slight detour and went to Anfeng specifically. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Anfeng County is close to Shaobei, just on the north entrance of Shaobi, a tributary of Feishui connects Huaishui and Shaobei, and the connection is the north mouth, which is also the county seat of Anfeng.

Shaobi was originally a huge water area, in the spring and autumn period, Sun Shuao of Chu built irrigation facilities here, and built a large number of ponds and irrigation canals around a water area, making this land worry-free about water and drought, and quickly became an important granary of Chu State.

Since then, although it has gone through many dynasties, Shouzhou's status as the granary of Jianghuai has never changed, mainly relying on the Shaobi water conservancy irrigation system and this fertile land.

I have to say that the land of Shouzhou does have unique advantages, hundreds of years of Huaishui continuous bursting and flooding in Shouzhou this piece of formation of fertile alluvial plain, coupled with the large number of servals in this area, and there is the Shaobi irrigation system, in the event of floods, there are Shaobi and other servals this regulator to regulate, and drought years, Shaobi and Xuze can provide water for the surrounding land, so this piece has become a number of granaries.

If it weren't for the Anshi Rebellion, the Huangchao Rebellion and the Ant Thief Rebellion, which were all hard-hit areas, the situation in Shouzhou would be much better, and all of them were destroyed by the war, and there would be such a reincarnation every few decades.

However, the excellent conditions here allow for a quick recovery from the war as soon as the war is over.

The situation in Anfeng is better than that of Huoqiu, without him, there is the advantage of Shaobi irrigation, it is closer to Shouzhou, and the transportation advantage of the waterway naturally makes it the first choice for the homeless.

Along the line of the tributaries of Shaobi and Huishui, it can be seen that some settlements have begun to appear in scale, which makes Jiang Feng feel happy.

Although he also knows that this is more because these Shouzhou clans are in the interests of the interests of the people to be so active, but after all, Shouzhou is already in his own hands, and the situation in Shouzhou counties can recover quickly, which is of course a great thing for himself.

The news from Wuwentang that there are basically no decent ant thieves in the entire Shouzhou, and even if there are, they are just a small group of bandits under the banner of ant thieves, and they have basically disappeared under the continuous dispatch of small troops by the First Army.

Judging from the observed situation, An Feng and Huo Qiu's recovery is not bad, An Feng is better, of course, this is also reasonable, but Jiang Feng also knows that no matter how fast it is, it will take a year or two to recover.

I have to admit that the heritage of Shouzhou is much thicker than that of Huzhou, and the unique conditions can make Shouzhou a place of hegemony in the eyes of the feudal domains.

Taking Shouzhou, Huaiyou suddenly became a place that could be attacked and retreated, and the mutual response between Huzhou and Shouzhou made the strategic depth of the Huaiyou Army suddenly have the strength to resist a big battle, and it will not be destroyed in a battle.

For Jiang Feng, how to completely include Shouzhou in his bag and thoroughly digest it to make it play a role is the most important thing.

Huzhou is basically its own basic plate, even if Shengtang and Huoshan are equivalent to a complete reconstruction, but basically from Chen, Huang, Tan, Xu and other families here, so that this area is basically completely out of the influence of the original Shouzhou, and is truly under the control of Huzhou.

But Shouzhou is different.

First, there are three surnames in Shouzhou, and these three surnames are deep-rooted, if it weren't for the Zheng family being squeezed out by the Umeda family, it would not be so simple for him to take over Shouzhou.

Second, the location of Shouzhou is too important, and the relationship with Huaibei and Huainan is also intertwined, even if the two Umeda families are forced to surrender to themselves due to the situation, but this is only a superficial phenomenon.

Either the forces of Huaibei and Wu will completely collapse, or Huaiyou can only show the momentum of crushing Huaibei and Wudi, otherwise it will always be difficult to make this land truly return to its heart.

For Huaiyou, in fact, it is now facing a very good opportunity.

Huaibei Shi's strong middle-class cadres have been poked by ant thieves, and this has aroused the ambition of Caizhou, who has been licking his wounds, Jiang Feng can be sure that Caizhou will definitely make a move on Huaibei in the next step.

This originally seemed to be a good thing, the collapse of the Huaibei Shi family could make the Mei family have nothing to worry about.

But for Huaiyou, there are pros and cons.

Jiang Feng was even a little worried that this time the assassination of Yuan Wudi and the Liu family might make the two cooperate in advance.

Caiju may support Namyang to take Gwangju to seduce Namyang to push eastward, so as to drag his own footsteps, and this possibility will even increase.

The collapse of the Shi family may cause the whole situation to change drastically, although the Mei family has lost its support, but if it causes Caizhou to form an alliance with Nanyang in order to invade the east, it will really outweigh the losses for Huaiyou.

The civil strife in Wudi may also make the Tian family have nothing to rely on, which seems to be even more beneficial to Huaiyou than the collapse of the Huaibei situation, and it seems that Huaiyou can even covet Haozhou and Luzhou, but with the current basic strength of Huaiyou, even Jiang Feng himself has to admit that Huaiyou does not have such a good appetite to digest too much territory, and it is difficult to do this kind of financial and material resources, military control forces and talent reserves.

In this case, in addition to the civil strife in Wudi, the main force of the ant thieves Qin Quan, who may have crossed the south to herd horses, may also have Yue Guo who can take advantage of the fire to rob.

All in all, it seems to be a very wonderful situation, but for Huaiyou, it is like a fish in the throat, not up or down, extremely uncomfortable.

If you can give Huaiyou two years to digest, it will be a wonderful thing, but unfortunately it has never been assumed, it is very rare that the monarchs and ministers of Wu Di can be suspected of being able to drag on until now, just look at how uncomfortable those ant thieves in Huaibei are.

"Lord, I don't think this is the reason for us to stop, right? I remember that your lord once said that our Huaiyou is now like a boat sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, like Nanyang, like Caizhou, they are all our great enemies, they are all expanding their territory, accumulating strength, once they feel that the time is ripe, they will pounce on us like a wolf, we can't stop. Yang Kan pondered for a long time before he said slowly.

This kind of thing, under Jiang Feng's command, probably only Yang Kan and Zhang Ting can say it, maybe in the future, you can add a Wang Miao, even Xu Ziqing, Qin Zaidao, Zhang Yue and Ding Man They don't dare to say it easily.

Yang Kan and Xu Ziqing received Jiang Feng under Shouchun City.

When they learned that Jiang Feng had been assassinated again, and that it was Yuan Wudi and Nanyang Liu's joint assassination, both of them were scared into a cold sweat.

Even Yuan Wushu personally came forward to play the assassination game, what else will not happen in this world?

Yang Kan and Xu Ziqing are not very worried about themselves, in Shouzhou, they have been living in the barracks, basically not out of the barracks, everyone also has guards around them, and they are all equipped with magic instruments and magic weapons.

For a small heavenly master, it is not a problem to defeat a hundred, but this hundred refers to ordinary soldiers.

If you really encounter a prepared martial arts master, especially a martial arts master like the Tongmai, the marrow cleansing, or even the condensation period, even if they haven't even stepped into the Heavenly Realm, as long as there is a reasonable way to form a team and form a formation, supplemented by magic tools and magic weapons, it can also cause a lot of trouble to the small heavenly powerhouse.

This is also the main reason why the masters of the small heaven rank rarely participate in such acts as assassination, because they have really reached the level of the small heaven position, and if they are killed by the other party because of the assassination, it will be too aggrieved.

Even Yuan Wushu and Nanyang participated in the assassination of Jiang Feng, which is enough to show their fear of Jiang Feng, which is not only bad news, but also in a sense, it is also a recognition of Jiang Feng's status and strength, otherwise this situation would not have happened.

"We can't stop, but Qilang, I don't think we have to expand on the territory if we don't stop, but also because we have to transform all the strength on the territory into something that can be used by me, this is the key, do you think the power of Shouzhou can be completely used by me now?" Jiang Feng asked rhetorically.

Yang Kan was slightly stunned, of course he knew what Jiang Feng was worried about.

Realistically speaking, Shouzhou has not really been completely incorporated into the hands, and there are still many situations in Shouzhou, even if the Umeda Zheng Sanjia has clearly recognized Jiang Feng's dominance over Shouzhou, but this emotional reversal is not an overnight effort, and the emotions cannot be turned around, which will naturally affect Huaiyou's control over Shouzhou.

But the lord also said that if he could speed up the pace and control the neighboring prefectures, maybe the Umeda family could be clearer, cut off some unrealistic ideas, and look at the problem more long-term. ”

Yang Kan's words made Jiang Feng couldn't help but regret a little, why did this guy use what he said to slap himself in the face?

Of course, Jiang Feng knew that Yang Kan was deliberately asking himself this, because at that time, Yang Kan also strongly advocated fighting, especially taking advantage of the civil strife in Wudi, thinking that he could not miss this golden opportunity.

"Shichiro, Shouzhou is important, if we don't have a solid rear, we are too obsessed with the expansion of the territory, but we don't have enough control, there will be problems. Jiang Feng patiently explained.

Yang Kan struggled and hesitated for a while, and then changed his tone and said, "Then can we exercise some restraint appropriately? Even if we take a small state, I don't think we can give up such an opportunity." ”

Jiang Feng didn't expect Yang Kan to become so eager, it seems that a few months of garrisoning will make these guys enthusiastic and unbearable, but this is also a good thing, indicating that Yang Kan and they are already starting to think about problems.
