On the opposite wall hangs a huge map, on which the mountains, rivers, lakes, and towns of the Central Plains are located.

This should be the first full-scale geographical topographic map of the Xuzhou Governor's Office, covering almost the entire Middle Earth, but the diagram in the southwest, north and south directions is more brief, and the area bordering Xuzhou is more detailed.

There are also local topographic maps on the left and right walls, including Shannan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, Jiangnan East Road, Hebei Province, and Henan Province.

Of course, Shannan East Road, Henan Road, and Hebei Road bear the brunt, while Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road are not the key points, but they still need attention.

It would be good if Caizhou Yuan's clan didn't get involved, Jiang Feng couldn't help but sigh, this damn Xiaoqiang will always jump out and respond to you when you least want to see it, so that you can't ignore it, and if you want to deal with it, it will involve your own arrangements for other aspects.

Jiang Feng is most happy to see the situation is that the Shatuo people and Nanyang are fighting on the front line of Ruzhou and Xuzhou, and it is best to fight for a year and a half, but the Shatuo people are not stupid, and why did the Yuan family choose this time to join in, even if there is the temptation of the Shatuo people, Jiang Feng does not think that the Caizhou Yuan family will make such a decision so quickly.

He also vaguely felt that the abrupt decision of the Yuan clan in Caizhou was still related to Xuzhou, and the rapid expansion of Xuzhou's strength was probably giving the Yuan clan huge pressure, so that they forcibly swallowed the two states of Chen and Song when they had not completely digested the two states of Yingbo, which was beyond Caizhou's ability to expand.

Until now, Jiang Feng has not fully understood Yuan's thoughts, what is Yuan going to do?

Is it really planning to cooperate with the Shatuo people to annex Nanyang, and then plot against themselves?

Or reach an agreement with the Shatuo people, and in the future, Caizhou will focus on expanding southward, live in peace with the Shatuo people, and divide the Huai and rule the country? Where will Xuzhou be placed? Or will it really form a new Spring and Autumn Era?

Thinking about it for a while, I still feel that it is really a bit like, Xuzhou is a Qi country, Shatuo people are a Jin country, Caizhou is a country, Chu country, or Song country? The Khitan people are considered Yan countries, so isn't Yang Wenchang going to be Qin countries, and Yang Wenchang will rule the world in the future?

It's a little funny to think about it, history will not repeat itself, and Jiang Feng never intended to let this chaotic situation continue, and those who should be swept into the pile of historical papers should be swept in.

Maybe it's time to get your hands dirty.

Although he was not ready for a full-scale war with the Caizhou Army before, after receiving the information that Caizhou might attack Nanyang, Jiang Feng still issued an order for war mobilization to the Ziqing Army, the Huaiyou Army, and the Wuning Army as soon as possible.

Just to fight a war, you have to fight grain and grass and military equipment, all the previous preparations are around the newly formed but not yet announced to the public Heshuo Army and the Lu Army north to Heshuo, the current Heshuo Army and the Lu Army are basically ready, and even the early stage of the grain and grass baggage has been prepared, the follow-up will be in the strict order in Yangzhou after the success, gradually make up, but now this plan has to face adjustments.

Within Xuzhou, there were also disagreements around the possibility that Caizhou might join forces with the Shatuo people to carry out Nanyang.

The northbound faction represented by Wang Miao insisted that the main goal should be to go north to Heshuo to seize the three states of Dicangde, and for Caizhou to join forces with the Shatuo people to attack Nanyang, they could intervene appropriately, such as taking the Wuning Army or the Huaiyou Army as the main force and garrisoning Guangzhou, once Nanyang was not supported, they should try to take over the two states of Shen'an, but they should avoid a direct war with Caizhou, and everything should be done to ensure that they take the three states of Dicangde and gain a firm foothold in Hebei.

The westward faction headed by Cui Shang believed that they should take this opportunity to recover Songzhou and Yingbo Prefecture and completely regain the initiative in the Central Plains, so that from Puzhou, Caozhou, Songzhou, Bozhou, and Yingzhou south of the Great River in the north, and then across Huaishui to Huzhou, Shouzhou, and Shuzhou, the goal of becoming king in the east was truly realized.

The plastered land east of this line is controlled by Xuzhou, and it is not too late to sit and watch the situation change in the west, and then respond according to the situation, while the Hebei strategy advocates a little slowdown, waiting for Caizhou to be completely defeated, or expelled from the Song, Bo, and Ying prefectures, and then it is not too late to plot, which is also made under the knowledge that Yelu Deguang's persecution of Liu Shouguang has not yet been effective.

The radicals led by Yang Kan had a greater appetite, believing that they could advance north and west at the same time, believing that Xuzhou already had the strength to launch two wars at the same time after reorganizing a large number of Liang troops.

Going north to Heshuo is dominated by the Pinglu army and the Heshuo army, the purpose is only to occupy the three states of Dicangde, not to set off a full-scale war in Heshuo, Wei Bojun and Lu Longjun will certainly be a little worried, but in the current situation, they will not act rashly, as for Zhang Chujin, he himself is difficult to protect, as long as the Xuzhou army does not enter the line of Jizhou, Zhang Chujin should be able to accept this reality.

The westward advance could be dominated by the Ziqing Army and the Ya Army, the Wuning Army as a reserve, the Huaiyou Army mainly controlled Gwangju to prevent the situation in Nanyang from being unstable, and the Tianping Army was responsible for monitoring the Jin army.

I have to say that Yang Kan's idea is very beautiful, and even Jiang Feng can't help but feel excited, but considering the reaction of the Shatuo people and the tenacity of the Yuan clan in Caizhou, Jiang Feng feels that Yang Kan's idea is still too optimistic.

For the Caizhou Yuan family, Jiang Feng believes that if he really wants to make a move on the Yuan family this time, then he can't give the Yuan family any more chances, and if he wants to fight, he must completely erase the other party from the map, and he can't let the other party have any chance to fight back.

But at present, Caizhou controls Caizhou, Chenzhou, Yingzhou, Bozhou and Songzhou, even if the other party will divide part of the troops to attack Nanyang, but its troops staying in Songzhou and Yingbo will not be less, the preliminary estimate will not be less than 50,000 people, the strength of the Ziqing Army and the Ya Army alone is only 60,000 people, this kind of battle, 60,000 people in the field may be possible, but to fight such a city and a town, the consumption is too great, and in the end it is very likely to fall into the quagmire.

Expecting the enemy to be lenient, Jiang Feng would not despise the Caizhou army, he would rather make some concessions in other aspects than end up in a dilemma in the end.

Xuzhou has done its best to expand the army, and the short-term training courses of the Armed Forces Academy have been expanded from 90 people in three classes in the first phase to 150 people in five classes in the first phase.

This kind of rotation training includes not only the most basic map review, astronomical observation, geographical, climatic and hydrological analysis, logistics management, morale boosting, etc., but also the improvement of martial arts.

Including some large-scale refining pills of the material officials, they were used in large quantities on these officers. Although it can't be compared with those pills refined by Jiang Feng, it is still quite beneficial for low-level officers, especially those in the early stages of the Heavenly Rank, such as bone forging, pulse clearing, and marrow purging.

For these grassroots officers, they are the main force of the Xuzhou Army when they are fighting, and even a little advance in the martial arts means that they will win more chances of survival on the battlefield.

Jiang Feng's gaze returned to the map, if he wanted to make a move on Caizhou, he had to fully bloom and leave no room for anything.

Songzhou and Bozhou will be the key.

At present, the intelligence shows that Yuan Huaihe personally sat in Songzhou, and He Jing, the head of the He family, assisted Yuan Wuyi, obviously worried that Caizhou's raid on Nanyang might stimulate Xuzhou.

Bozhou was garrisoned by Xue Chong, the head of the Xue family, and Yuan Huaifang, with Yuan Wuxing assisting.

In Jiang Feng's view, if you want to make a move on Caizhou, Songzhou is a node that cannot be bypassed.

Yuan also knew that Xuzhou's troops on the Huainan side were insufficient, and it was difficult to pose much of a threat to Yingzhou and Caizhou, but once Songzhou was lost, it would directly threaten Chenzhou.

Moreover, Songzhou was now also the city with the worst control of the Yuan clan, and the Liang gentry had a strong hatred of the Yuan clan, forcing the Yuan army to be stationed in Song City and Ningling in large numbers.

I chose Songzhou to do it because there are many places in Songzhou that can be used.

This is also an important factor for Jiang Feng to change his original intention and finally decide to take action against the Yuan clan in Caizhou, if the Yuan clan controls Songzhou, Chenzhou and Yingbo for too long, and they appease and absorb the local gentry in these states, then it will be a big trouble to deal with them in the future.

At present, there are already some signs of this in Yingbo Erzhou, and the news from Wuwentang makes Jiang Feng very worried, and he can't tolerate this situation to continue.

Walking to the map, Jiang Feng counted the forces he could still use.

The Ziqing Army is assembling on the front line of Shan Fu and Dangshan, and once it is put into battle, Shan Zhou will be handed over to the Tianping Army.

The Ya army is the most free, there is no garrison, it is directly stationed in the city of Xuzhou, and now it is also quickly assembling towards Fuli, as long as it is ordered, it can enter Bozhou in a big way.

It is too difficult for the first army of the Ziqing Army to take Songzhou, with Yuan Huaihe's old spicy, Songcheng may become a flesh mill, Jiang Feng is unwilling to do that, but he knows that it cannot be avoided.

Since it is unavoidable, it is necessary to use the most superior forces to crush the opponent, and that kind of refueling investment is a disaster.

Then the Heshuo army can only be used.

Jiang Feng sighed in his heart, using the Heshuo army to fight the Caizhou army, and the military heart is also available, whether it is the old probation army to which Shang Yunxi belongs or the Daliang army, they all hate the Caizhou army, and they can stimulate the fighting spirit even more when they fight the Caizhou army.

While pondering, Gu Tao's voice came from outside the door: "County King, they have all arrived, Master Cui arranged for them to be in the store, and now they are waiting for the County King's reception." ”

"Lone knew, told Bai Ling, Lone came over immediately. Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, a good news, it is not too late, maybe it can play some unexpected role in this battle.
