"Old Seven, do you mean that our situation seems to be dangerous now, but we are in a delicate state, which may give us some opportunities?" Yuan Huaihe's strategic view of the overall situation was as precise and astute, accurately capturing the hidden meaning of Yuan Wuxing's words.

"Yes, the head of the family, although the Shatuo people are powerful, but from the Central Plains to the south, the situation may be different from the north of the Central Plains, the further south, the terrain and climate will have a greater and greater impact on the Shatuo cavalry, Li Cunhou They will not know, so I judge that the Jin army will not open two battlefields at the same time, that is to say, if they start a war in Nanyang, then we will be safe for a long time, and even when we have some moves, the Shatuo people will also selectively turn a blind eye, and in some special circumstances, they may also form some tacit understanding with us。 ”

Yuan Wuxing's words made Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Wuwei a little incomprehensible, how could the Shatuo people have a tacit understanding with themselves?

What are special circumstances?

But Yuan Huaihe understood.

"Old Seven, are you saying that the Shatuo people may have to receive the line of Xuzhou-Yuncheng-Xiping-Wufang-Langshan and raid Nanyang from the side?!" Although Yuan Huaihe understood, he was still shocked by Yuan Wuxing's boldness, "You mean that we are going to borrow the Dao?

"Master, it's true, but I don't think it's a big deal. Yuan Wudaunt's attitude was calm, "We can properly strengthen the defense of the Rushui line, as long as Shangcai and Ruyang are in hand, it is not a big deal, and I thought that the Jin army would not be so unwise, and challenge Nanyang and us at the same time, if it is really like that, I will clap my hands and applaud, maybe Xuzhou will be added to besiege the Jin army at that time." ”

"Then what can we get?" said Yuan Huaihe, who was more realistic.

"Shenzhou and Anzhou, of course. Yuan Wuxing hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid that Guangzhou can only be handed over to Xuzhou, otherwise Jiang Feng will definitely not agree." ”

"Shenzhou and Anzhou?" Yuan Huaihe had already thought of it, but Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Wuwei were in good spirits.

If Shenzhou and Anzhou can be taken, then Caizhou's power can penetrate deep into Huainan, and it can be said that Caizhou has an additional base in the south, and the strategic depth is greatly expanded, which is extremely valuable and meaningful for Caizhou.

Now the territory of Caizhou is north of Huaishui, Caizhou, Yingzhou, Bozhou, Chenzhou, plus half of Songzhou, on the territory and population is actually not small, but this area belongs to the Central Plains, the terrain is flat, and it is extremely beneficial to the Shatuo Iron Cavalry Battle.

Once the Shatuo people want to start a war against their own side, the Shatuo Iron Cavalry gallops across these states, and it is difficult for the Caizhou army to deal with it, and if the battle is lost, Caizhou will not even have room for maneuver.

But if Shenzhou and Anju are obtained, it will be different.

Shenzhou is separated from the Huaishui in the Central Plains, the climate is already somewhat similar to the south, and Anzhou is even more different, there is Dabie Mountain to block, Shannan still belongs to the south, Dabie Mountain has Yiyang Sanguan is precipitous, it can be said that as long as Shenzhou and Anzhou can be taken, the Yuan family will add two rare bases.

Shenzhou is just that, Anzhou is the land of fish and rice, the land of six counties, as long as it can be firmly grasped in its hands, it will definitely become another foundation of the Yuan family in the future.

"If we can take Shenzhou and Anzhou, we can still plot against Qihuang Erzhou, the Du clan is weak, and he is not worthy of holding the land of Qihuang at all,......" Yuan Huaiqing couldn't help but have some illusions.

"Qingbo, I'm afraid we haven't thought about it that far, and being able to win Shenzhou and Anzhou safely is already our greatest expectation. Yuan Wuxing shook his head.

If it weren't for the Yuan family and the Zhao, Xue and He families attached to the Yuan family, they had done a good job in cultivating family talents, and a large number of talents had emerged, and Caizhou's current development speed would have been stretched, let alone winning Shenzhou and Anzhou.

It may be easy to take Shenzhou and Anzhou, but how to control and make them smoothly incorporated is the key.

In contrast, although Jiang Feng does not have the help of the family, he is also not restricted by the family power, he can act according to his own intentions as he likes, and there are more resources for talents who are willing to serve him to master, which is also Jiang Feng's method from Huainan to Xuzhou to Yanyun and Pinglu, and now it seems that Jiang Feng has played this hand quite smoothly and the effect is also very good.

Yuan Wuxing's idea was to take Shenzhou and Anzhou as soon as possible, take advantage of the time difference between the confrontation between Shatuo and Xuzhou to temporarily take care of his own side, and build a rear base south of Huaishui, laying the foundation for Yuan's struggle to dominate the Central Plains or Jiangnan in the future.

In Yuan Wuxing's view, whether it is the Shatuo people or the Xuzhou Jiangfeng, they will eventually have a war, but they have to choose the right time, on the one hand, the Shatuo people must gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains and digest the gains, on the other hand, they also use not only external conquests to meet their internal aristocratic needs, but also to attack Nanyang, it is estimated that they also fancy the wealth and abundance accumulated in Nanyang for a hundred years.

Once the fertile soil of the Central Plains was digested, and the fat of Nanyang was swallowed, I was afraid that the Shatuo people would rise up again, and Xuzhou estimated that he was also aware of the sharpness of the Shatuo Iron Cavalry, and wanted to further enhance the combat effectiveness of its cavalry by controlling Hebei, so that it could compete with the Shatuo people for the Central Plains without falling behind, and really to Xuzhou to control Hebei, at that time, I am afraid that Xuzhou will not be willing to accept the status quo, a battle between Xuzhou and the Jin army is inevitable, and the Yuan family can also flexibly respond and stand in line according to the situation at that time.

"Lao Qi is right, we don't have so much heart to think about other things, if Shenzhou and Anzhou can fall into our hands, we can be invincible. Yuan Huaihe's eyes were a little more subtle, "Old Seven, in your opinion, we can communicate privately with the Shatuo people?"

"Well, once the Shatuo people are against the opponent of Nanyang, they must go all out, we can wait and see for the time being, I estimate that the messenger of the Shatuo people will come quietly, it should be when the Shatuo people start to attack Ruzhou, I am afraid that they will contact us. Yuan Wuxing pondered for a moment before he said: "I'm a little worried about how Nanyang will respond, maybe they will also find us, or even find Xuzhou to put pressure on us." ”

"Hmph, Jiang Feng will take care of Nanyang? You must know that Nanyang took advantage of the fire to rob and take Jiang Feng's Gwangju. Yuan Huaiqing snorted coldly.

"Uncle Qing, don't we also stick a knife in Jiang Feng's back many times, but don't we also want to form an alliance now?" Yuan Wuxing smiled bitterly, "If Nanyang is willing to grovel and show goodwill to Xuzhou, Jiang Feng may not be unacceptable." ”

"This is very likely, what if Nanyang takes the initiative to hand over Gwangju to Xuzhou?" Yuan Huaihe is also a rin.

Yuan Wuxing took a deep breath, "Family Master, this is very likely, so we can't just wait like this. ”

Yuan Huaihe's heart also sank, and the unfinished meaning in Yuan Wuxing's words made him even more entangled, Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Wuwei hadn't thought of it yet, but he had already paid attention to it, Yuan Wuxing was hinting that he could take the initiative to join forces with the Shatuo people to make a game, carve up Nanyang, and raid with lightning speed, otherwise once Nanyang was aware of it, then this bureau would be worthless.

"Old Seven, what do you think of it?" Yuan Huaihe's voice was a little hoarse.

"Agree with the Shatuo people, let them blempty on the side of Henan Mansion, the main force will go south from Bianzhou, go to Yuncheng - Wufang - Langshan, and then turn to the west, straight to ** Yang!" Yuan Wuxing's face was gloomy, "If you don't do it, you can't stop it, we can join forces with the Shatuo people to attack Mizhou from Langshan, as long as Mizhou is broken, the east gate of Nanyang is opened, and it will be difficult to hold Luyang Pass, Nanyang can go down with a drum, and we can also take Shenzhou and Anzhou." ”

The hall was dumbfounded, and this trick could not be described as poisonous.

The distance between Langshan and Biyang (Bizhou Prefecture) is not far, less than two hundred miles, although the line of Langling Mountain in the remaining veins of Tongbai Mountain also belongs to the mountain, but the terrain of this line is relatively broken, there are many valley passes in the mountainous area, which can be passed, if there is a Caizhou army that is familiar with the geography of the land, it can indeed break through the Mizhou by surprise.

Yuan Huaihe was speechless for a long time, Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Wuwei even thought that Yuan Huaihe did not agree with this strategy, and when he was a little disappointed, Yuan Huaihe suddenly said: "It's okay to let the Shatuo people attack the east and west, but if the Jin army goes south from Bianzhou, it can't hide Nanyang's eyes and ears, as long as Nanyang realizes that the Jin army has entered the front line of Xuzhou Fugou, they can understand that we have joined forces with the Great Jin, and they will definitely immediately strengthen the defense of the side of Mizhou, and the unexpected effect will be difficult to achieve." ”

Yuan Wuxing also knew that Yuan Huaihe's words were reasonable.

Now that Nanyang is full of soldiers, he must have sprinkled a large number of scouts on the front line of Henan Mansion and Ruzhou, Zhengzhou, and Bianzhou, and reconnoitred the movements of the Jin army at any time.

As long as a little analysis, you can realize that Caizhou and the Jin army have joined forces, and when the Nanyang army strengthens the defense on the front line of Langling Mountain, it will block this side in the mountains, and it will not be so easy to win a battle.

"What does the head of the family mean......" Yuan Wuxing realized Yuan Huaihe's decision, but he was still not sure.

"Old Seven, didn't you say that you don't do one thing and don't stop doing it?" Yuan Huaihe smiled coldly, "No poison, no husband, we will make an agreement with the Shatuo people, and then we will send our own troops to attack Mizhou directly from Langshan, and give Er Liu a knife in the ribs? At that time, whether the Jin army still borrows from Xuzhou, Yuncheng, and Langling, or goes south directly from Ruzhou, I believe that Nanyang will be difficult to support." ”

"Okay!" Yuan Huaiqing was the first to echo, his face flushed, "Take down Mizhou and force Nanyang, I want to see how Liu Tong should deal with it, and Liu Xuan's strength is still on the side of Shenzhou and Anzhou, it will be difficult to react for a while, and the Shatuo people can't win in this situation, then I think they will simply go back to Hedong!"
