Tian Chunlai didn't expect to be able to bring much preferential treatment to the Chaohu bandits all of a sudden, a group of water bandits, if it weren't for Huaiyou's need for a black thug to do something that Huaiyou couldn't do openly, I was afraid that it would not be the turn of the Chaohu bandits to flatter.

The strength of the Shouzhou Navy Army steadily crushed the Chaohu water bandits, but it was not in one place, not in its position, and it was not in its own position.

Of course, Chaohu water bandits do have their advantages, that is, from Luzhou through the fertilizer water into Chaohu Lake, and then from the water can enter the river, this waterway can be said to allow Luzhou and Jiangnan as a whole, control this road, it does have a great impact on Luzhou.

And Luzhou has no water army, so it is naturally controlled by others.

As the leader of the Shouzhou Water Army, he does have some friendship with Kou Wenli, Tian Chunlai really wants to find a way out for this man, Shouzhou was also attached to Wu Yang in the past, Tian Chunlai naturally could not have the ability to persuade Wu Yang to convince the Chaohu water bandits, and now the opportunity has finally come.

When Huaiyou is employing people, he naturally doesn't account too much, but you Chaohu water bandits also have to come up with some decent votes.

Jiang Feng and the others discussed for a while how to attack the two states of Luhao, and how to subdue the hearts of the people once the two states of Luhao were taken.

Prior to this, Huaiyou had also begun to work on co-opting, dividing, and lobbying in advance.

Luhao Erzhou and Shouzhou are close to each other, and Shouzhou Tian has a special in-law relationship with Wu Yang, so Tian has many contacts with the gentry and wang families of Luhao Erzhou.

For Tian Chun, the most familiar place in Wu Di is Luzhou, and the place he goes to the most is Luzhou, so he is even more familiar with the understanding of the gentry and noble clan in Luzhou than Zhang Wanshan, the leader of Wuwentang.

Tian Chunlai has been involved in this early work, and several Tian disciples have also entered the Wuwentang, specializing in Luhao and Chusizhou, especially the focus is on Luhao Erzhou.

It's just that the effect in the early stage can only be said to be average, and no one will easily show their attitude, especially before the dispute between Yang and Xu is not clear, it is reasonable that the wealthy families in Luzhou can only support Yang Pu and will not find another way out.

However, there are many friends and many roads, and no one will refuse the olive branch thrown by Huaiyou, especially if this is thrown by Tian.

Everything needs to wait until the civil strife in Wu Di is clear, and if Yang Pu has a tragic failure that cannot turn over, the minds of these wealthy families will be completely extinguished, but at that time, Huaiyou will come to choose a good future partner.

For the current Huaiyou, it is more important to find out the details of the situation in all aspects of Luhao Erzhou, in fact, during this period of time, Wuwentang is more about doing this aspect of work, and when the swords and soldiers meet, they can be used to sacrifice the flag.

Looking at the dilapidated streets, Yuan Wuxing's mood became more and more bitter.

Occasionally, a few glazed homeless beggars came out of the alleys sideways, and when they saw that it was a sergeant in armor, they shrank back again, and the streets were calm again.

Several tattered shop signs were thrown on the ground, one was burned and most of it was missing, only one was left with the word "Zhang's", and the other one had some blackened blood stains on it, and the two silk characters of the two bodies were faintly visible, which should be the signboard of a silk village.

A wild dog also ran past the edge of the ditch, and it was still a little strong, but its eyes were also so red that it was not even afraid of people, and it grinned at Yuan Wuxing and his party, and he didn't know if eating enough carrion in the city had made it return to its ancestors' wolf nature.

The occasional noise of crows made the empty street a little more gloomy and cold, even if it was noon, it was just as chilling.

Linquan of Shenqiu in later generations, this time was originally a large county in the northwest of Yingzhou, with a population of more than 400,000, if the goods of Chenzhou's Lishui and Nanton counties are to be transported to Jianghuai, they have to go to Shenqiu, Xiaorushui passes through ten miles from the northeast of the county, Shilipu is a well-known lively wharf, these goods can go straight down to Ruyin from Shilipu, and then enter Huai, reach Jiangnan.

Now Shenqiu is uninhabited for hundreds of miles, and the Caizhou army has only searched for more than a thousand people all the way, and even the number of masters and sons is not complete, let alone any local supplies.

Yuan Wuxing's eyes were wandering around, and he was also assessing in his heart that if Caizhou won Yingzhou, he didn't know how much more he would need to invest to restore it to its original state.

Taking Shenqiu as an example, I am afraid that there is not one in ten people, and the countryside has become a white land.

Ryazan should have been suspicious of Caizhou for a long time, so he actually scraped again in Shenqiu, drove all the forces that could be mobilized to Ruyin and Yingshang, and turned this Shenqiu into a deserted city.

With a sigh, Yuan Wuxing shook his head, it is not a way to go on like this.

The Caizhou army has been in Shenqiu for two days, and the location of Shenqiu County is not good, too partial, and it is located in the northwest corner of Yingzhou, on the west bank of Xiaorushui.

And if the Heshuo army wants to go south, it will definitely come down from Bozhou along Zhenyuan or Luyi, so the path chosen must be along the east bank of Yingshui.

This also means that they are still separated from the Heshuo army by Xiaorushui and Yingshui, and there are two moats as gullies, and the Heshuo army should feel very safe.

The information returned showed that the troops coming down from Heshuo did not concentrate on the south, but went south in batches.

Due to the geographical location, when the information was transmitted, the Cheng German army said that it had passed Zhecheng County at the southwest end of Songzhou and was about to enter the territory of Bozhou.

Estimate the time, if the Cheng German army travels day and night, even if it is in Zhenyuan or Luyi for a short rest, this line is flat and suitable for wild marching, so the Cheng German army should enter the territory of Yingzhou at this time.

The Chengde army is a combination of horses and steps, but three or four thousand troops, but such an army is a battle-hardened formation, perhaps the morale training has declined in recent years, but Yuan Wuxing never dared to underestimate these veterans who have been fighting with the Shatuo people for many years, and their experience and will to survive are enough to make up for everything.

If they are given enough time to recuperate and recuperate, and if they are provided with sufficient food and supplies, this army will soon be able to regain strength, which is dangerous.

Although Yuan Wuxing didn't say it too clearly in the military discussion, that feeling of hidden worries still haunted him, making him always have an urge to solve this hidden worry as soon as possible.

The Heshuo Army and the Yingzhou Probation Army cannot be allowed to converge, once they are allowed to join forces, their combat effectiveness may have to be doubled!

Yuan Wuxing did not believe that the southern surrender of the Heshuo army to Huaiyou was just a simple march, and the choice at this time was itself provocative, if Huaiyou really did not want to clash with Caizhou, he should choose to avoid this sensitive time.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wuxing became more and more anxious, and suddenly rode his horse, turning the horse's head, "Go back!"

When Yuan Wuxing walked into the mansion, Yuan Huaiqing was also full of thoughts.

I didn't expect the situation in Shenqiu to be so bad, although the scouts had already reported the situation here, but when you stepped into the city yourself, you found that this place was even worse than you imagined.

There are only a few hundred people who can be found in the entire Shenqiu County, and almost all of them are old and weak beggars who can't escape, and the idea of catching a group of masters and helpers has also failed, but fortunately, the ant thieves have shown mercy and did not completely burn down Shenqiu County, and finally left some houses that can live in people.

There was no food, no firewood, and even the wells were polluted, and when the ant thieves ransacked Shenqiu, too many women were so humiliated that they threw themselves into the wells, and almost all the wells were full of rotting corpses, and even if they were cleaned up, they would not be able to use them in the short term.

The soldiers had to fetch water outside the city, even for miles.

The moat of Shenqiu was originally led by Xiaoru water, but it was filled by ant thieves and annihilated many sections, leaving sections of stagnant water, and the stagnant water was also full of floating corpses and white bones, and the smell was unbearable.

For safety reasons, Yuan Huaiqing also strictly forbade the soldiers to use the water in the moat, even if some areas seemed to be passable.

All the baggage needs to be transported from the rear, from Shenqiu to Ruyin, this line is almost all white ground, Ryazan did not leave anything for the Caizhou army, and it seems that there is really going to be a battle of strong walls and clear fields.

Because the relationship between Caizhou and Huaibei is still harmonious, all the road conditions are still passable, but this Shenqiu is an exception, it is located in the northeast corner of Yingzhou, and the distance between Pingyu and Xincai is similar, no matter where to transport heavy grain and straw, it is not very convenient, which is also the reason why Yuan Huaiqing feels troubled.

But this is not the most headache for Yuan Huaiqing, the Caizhou army has been stepping into the Yingzhou territory for a few days, but a dilapidated Shenqiu is obviously not the purpose of this army, but if the army is sent to Ruyin, Yuan Huaiqing has some concerns in his heart.

The Heshuo army has already arrived in Bozhou, and everyone still doesn't know much about the purpose and combat power of this army, even if Yuan Wuxing makes some introductions, but they are only superficial, and only a real battle can be known.

If the Heshuo army had not shown hostility, how would the Caizhou army have responded? Could it just watch the other side swaggering in front of them?

A sense of crisis for no reason lingered in Yuan Huaiqing's heart, making him realize that he couldn't continue like this, even if it was the order of the head of the family.

"Qingbo!"

"Old Seven, what's wrong?" Yuan Huaiqing rarely saw Yuan Wuxing have such a hurried and anxious appearance, in his impression, this side branch cousin has always been low-key and calm, and it is rare to see a situation like today.

"Hasn't Wen Liang come back yet?" Yuan Wuxing calmed down a little, this time it was Yuan Huaiqing as the commander, and he and Yuan Wenliang were the deputy commanders, and many things still needed Yuan Wenliang to discuss together.

"Wen Liang went to patrol the sentry, there are a lot of rotting corpses in the city, if it weren't for the cold weather, I'm afraid the epidemic would spread, I will let the soldiers clean up the corpses first, this Shenqiu will be our Yuan family's Shenqiu in the future!" Yuan Huaiqing said hesitantly.
