It is impossible not to let the surrounding neighbors look sideways at the drastic change in the situation in the north. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Splitting up the two states of Gwangshou and building a Huju is obviously not something that ordinary characters can do, but this is done by an unknown character who was mixed in the Gwangju scout team more than a year ago.

Repelled the siege of the ant thieves, and then defeated the Caizhou army, it is said that he also played a disgraceful role in the Nanyang Expedition to Cai, such a demonic role, and also won the three states of Guanghushou in more than a year, and even won the post of Guanghun Shou defense and capture from the imperial court, I have to admit that this Jiang Feng Jiang Erlang is qualified to make everyone look sideways.

The change in the situation of the neighbors to the north naturally worries Shuzhou in the south.

The ant thieves attacked Huzhou (Gushi) and failed, and then flocked to Shouzhou, and suddenly made a mess of Shouzhou, almost destroying the entire Shouzhou, except for Shouchun City, none of the places were spared, and the ant thieves rushed from Shouzhou to Shuzhou, although the performance in Shuzhou was somewhat unexpected, but the ant thieves were still entrenched in the southeast corner of Shuzhou or made Shuzhou feel worried, in this case, I didn't expect the evil neighbors in the north to stretch out their hands again.

I still don't know what this feared neighbor in the north wants when he stretches out his hand, shaking hands? Shuzhou doesn't dare to ask for money and food? It's possible, but what is the reason?

Shuzhou is even more worried that this evil neighbor may not only stop at asking for money, but especially when he learns that the remnants of the Xu family, that is, the Xu daughter Xu Ning, who had a short marriage contract with the Zhou family in Shuzhou but was repented, is said to have a marriage contract with that Jiang Erlang, which makes people even more uneasy.

Although the marriage contract between Xu's daughter and Jiang Feng is only a flat wife, Jiang Erlang has not married a wife yet, and this marriage contract also means that Xu's has gained considerable influence on Jiang Feng.

The addition of this factor had to make Shuzhou feel a little afraid, and when the intelligence showed that the two armies of the Huaiyou Army were "clearing" the so-called "remnants of ant thieves" near Shucheng, this worry and fear escalated again.

You must know that the ant thieves rushed into Shuzhou through the front line of Shucheng, which caught Shuzhou off guard and suffered a big loss.

"Uncle Duan, Jiang Feng is not a reckless person, if he wants to break into our Shuzhou so recklessly, there must be a reason, right? I can't send troops to our Shuzhou because my brother and Xu Ning have canceled the marriage contract, right?" The young man in the white brocade robe glanced at his brother, and said with some displeasure: "I have long advised the eldest brother not to provoke the Xu girl, the Xu girl herself is a scheming person, and now I am afraid that this opportunity will be even more ......."

"That's enough, Erlang, what are you talking about all these things in the past?" the old man frowned and interrupted his second son's words.

The eldest son is obsessed with literature and history, and does not like martial arts, but the second son is quite talented in martial arts, and the eldest son even intends to withdraw from the competition for the position of assassin in the future, but the eldest son is orderly, and the eldest son is quite popular, and the people below are not optimistic about the second son's impatient and impulsive character, so he does not dare to make a decision lightly.

"Huaiyoufu after the war, Guangzhou, Huzhou and Shouzhou have also experienced ant thieves and Caizhou in turn for more than a year, I am afraid that it is difficult to be tight, in a certain opinion, this Huaiyou to make it is not good, as for what to clean up the remnants of ant thieves, it is just an excuse, but if the other party catches us in Shuzhou there is still an ant thief for this reason, to make some articles, we are not good to deal with. ”

The middle-aged scribe is obviously not willing to get involved in the family affairs of the lord, although the eldest son Zhou Lun is not good at martial arts, but he is very popular, and his relationship with the civil and military generals is quite harmonious, far better than the impulsive and irritable second son Zhou Yang, so he also deliberately diverted the topic.

His analysis is very accurate, and he said in one sentence the current predicament of Huaiyou, and the purpose is very clear, most of which is to fight the autumn wind.

"What is the reason? What does the ant thief have to do with us wreaking havoc in their Huaiyou? We in Shuzhou are also victims, and if we want to say that the ant thief is also from Shouzhou, what reason do they have to find our stubble?" the young man in white brocade robe couldn't help but shout.

"Second son, you said it, they are here to find faults, since they are looking for faults, where can they find a suitable reason?"

The middle-aged scribe sighed, and a helpless smile appeared on his somewhat fat round face, this second son's personality was really a little stunned

"Then what should we do?" Zhou Yang was still a little unconvinced, "The Huaiyou Army is only two armies, so they dare to show off their might there, and our Shuzhou Army is not a vegetarian,......"

The old man ignored his son's wild words, frowned, and looked at his staff, "Duan Gong, what do you think we should do now?"

The middle-aged scribe who was called Duan Gong pondered for a while, "Lord, we don't know Huaiyou's intentions yet, but based on our speculation, they may be here to find fault, but we don't know their true intentions yet, I'm a little worried that their appetite is too big." ”

The expression on the old man's face was a little ugly, but he also knew that what his staff said was reasonable.

The monarchs and ministers of Wu Di were suspicious, and the biggest victims were not Wu Di, but these small peripheral feudal lords who were attached to Wu Di.

Like Shouzhou, although the three surnames belong to Huaibei Wudi, but in fact, due to the Huaishui separation, Wu has a greater influence on Shouzhou, and because of the ravages of ant thieves in Huaibei, Huaibei has no time to take care of Shouzhou, Shouzhou's biggest backer is Wudi, but the Huzhou army took Shouzhou with lightning speed, and Wu did not even have any reaction, which is enough to show how grim the internal situation of Wu is.

Whether it is Wu Wang Yang Pu or Taishi Xu Zhihe, they are already tense, and they don't have the energy and heart to take care of these peripheral feudal lords at all, and they even hope that these feudal lords can support them instead of distracting them.

"That Duan Gong, are you worried that Huaiyou will not only stop at asking for money and food, but they also want to swallow Shuzhou?" the old man's tone was already a little stiff.

Sighing softly, the middle-aged scribe hesitated: "If they want to swallow Shuzhou, I'm afraid they won't behave like this, they don't have the strength now, but if it's just for a little money and food, I think it's a bit of a fuss, so I'm worried about ......"

"What are you worried about?" The old man didn't believe that Huaiyou had such a big appetite, and his foothold was not stable, so he was so eager to move the sword outward, at this time, listening to the staff's vague sentence, he reacted, "Huaiyou wants us to be attached to them?"

Nodding, the middle-aged scribe's face was heavy: "I'm worried that this is the case, Shouzhou has fallen into his hands, and it will take time to stabilize, and our Shuzhou is located in the south, Jiang Feng may not be interested, but I am afraid that his eyes have been staring at Hao, Lu, Chu, and Sizhou now." ”

"Then ...... he sent an envoy here at this time?" the old man's face was cloudy, "What is the intention of making us dependent on him?"

Forcing Shuzhou to attach, that's all?

Attachment is just in name, just like Shuzhou's dependence on Wu now, but it is just to send some money and food every year to seek protection.

Now that the backer is about to fall, if Huaiyou really has the strength to act as a backer, it is not an unacceptable thing for Shuzhou to pay some money and silver every year in exchange for peace.

The question is, is it that simple? Both the old man and the middle-aged scribe are a little unsure.

The reason why they haven't seen the envoy for a long time is that they are afraid that once the other party makes some excessive requests, they dare not refuse, but if they can't accept it, they will fall into a dilemma, so they want to determine the bottom line first and then come to meet the other party.

"Get out of the way, you cowardly dogs!" A group of half-naked men with pigtails came out of the restaurant drunk, and were blocked by two travelers, squinting drunken eyes, and kicked them hard, kicking the other party's on a big horse.

The people on the side of the road dared not speak angrily, and could only stare at the strong men with bare arms with angry eyes.

Wang Miao's face slowly turned cold, he put down the wine bowl in his hand, and his hand couldn't help but caress the Wu Hook in the bag, "When the sun is shining, how can the river have become like this?"

The man on the other side smiled bitterly, shook his head and stopped: "Jiulang, don't you want to act rashly, don't you know, now there are a lot of Khitans pouring into our side, not only in Hejian, but also in Zhaozhou, Jizhou, a little further south? These Khitan bandits are like wolves and tigers, and most of them are in groups, nominally trafficking goods, but in fact, they are acting as thugs, and there are many people who pick quarrels and provoke trouble. ”

"To act as a thug, to whom to act as a thug?" Wang Miao was a little surprised.

"There are both Khitan nobles in the north, as well as Han businessmen on our side, whoever can afford to pay, they will do it for whom, and the festival makes the Fuzhong side is now friendly with the Khitan side, such ordinary trivial things, naturally don't care, so these Khitan people are now more and more rampant. ”

The thin man's face was also bitter and angry, but he was helpless.

Wang Miao also roughly knew about these situations, and now Lu Longjiedu made Liu Shouguang originally make good friends with the Great Liang, but in recent years, forced by the expanding power of the Khitan in the north, he gradually began to change his direction and befriend the Khitan, and he also responded to the Khitan's needs.

And the Khitan people also began to go south, especially some middle and lower-class Khitans, who felt that the south was more popular than their hometown, and they could be dealt with lightly because they were Khitans, so they flocked down, and the entire Lulong Festival made the states under its jurisdiction flooded with Khitans, causing many incidents, but they were all covered under Liu Shouguang's deliberate suppression.

"Your lord is really considerate, he treats the Khitans better than his own family? He never thought about it, how can it be a long-term solution to go on like this? The Khitans have tasted the sweetness, but they are afraid that their appetite will grow bigger and bigger, he is feeding the tiger with his body, holding his salary to fight the fire!" Wang Miao asked coldly.
