After a long time, Wang Miaocai muttered: "What Brother Guo said is also reasonable, but my view of the lord's intention, if the situation in Wu is stabilized, I am afraid that it will develop to the north." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Oh, why did Lord Yatui say this?" Mei was quite surprised, and was greatly shocked by Wang Miao's inference.

He has always believed that the reason why Jiang Feng attaches so much importance to the Shouzhou Navy is because Jiang Feng's focus will be on Jiangnan.

If Jiang Feng takes the western part of Wudi, he will definitely rely on Luhao and Chu to expand to the surrounding areas, such as Qihuang Erzhou, and Shuxuan Erzhou, Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road will be the focus of Jiang Feng's future business expansion, but Wang Miao confirmed that Jiang Feng will develop northward.

Mei Miao's impression of Wang Miao has always been very good, Jiang Feng attaches importance to Wang Miao for his own reasons, and Wang Miao's strategic vision has always been trusted by Mei Miao, so Wang Miao's statement made Mei Miao very surprised.

"Brother, I know that everyone thinks that the lord is plotting to seize the land of Wu, naturally he values the wealth of the land of Wu, which is also true, but the wealth of the land of Wu lies in the money and grain, if we have something to gain in the land of Wu, then the land controlled by our Huaiyou will control the key to the Jianghuai Lock, Guanghun Shou Luhao, I estimate that this is the lowest goal of the lord, the land of five states, the population is more than two million, it can be said that the foundation has been formed, so what should be the next step? Is it to continue to the east, and compete with the ant thieves and the Yue country for the land of Wu Yue's ointment, or to go south to seek the land of fish and rice such as Qi Huang Shuxuan? ”

This is exactly what Mei Guo recognizes, if it is said that the east is facing many difficulties, and the ant thieves and the Yue country are not easy to gnaw bones, then what about going south? Qi Huang Shuxuan, these four states are all soft persimmons, just pinch it.

"Lord Yatui, it seems that there are other judgments?" Mei Kuang said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, if the sovereign only wants to be another Yang Xingmi, it is right to go east and south, but if the sovereign wants to be Henkel, then he can't fall in love with Jiangnan, but should seek to seize Qilu Heshuo!"

Wang Miao's words were deafening, making Mei Guo also dumbfounded.

Rao is Mei boasted of being determined, but she was also stunned by Wang Miao's words, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Henkel, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty who beheaded the white snake and endowed the gale, Liu Bang, who founded the Han Dynasty for more than 200 years?

"Uh, Lord Yatui......"

"Brother Besides, it's good to call me Jiulang, and let me be a master of Yatui who listens to it. Wang Miao said with a smile.

"Uh, Jiurou, your words are really a bit earth-shattering, but the Lord has revealed this in front of you?"

Although through the Tang Dynasty, the economic center of gravity of the entire Middle Earth is shifting to the south of the Yangtze River, but if you want to talk about the orthodoxy of the Chinese Dao, there is no doubt that the scholars of the world still think that the Central Plains River basin can better represent itself, and the Central Plains in the narrow sense refers to the land south of the Gyeonggi River, and the Central Plains in the broad sense refers to the land of the Kanto region, that is, the south of the Gyeonggi River, Heshuo, Qilu and even Youyan and Hedong.

"The sovereign has a deep mind about the city, of course he will not reveal these intentions in front of a certain person, but the sovereign has always taken one step and three steps, and won Shouzhou, so he will fully support the water army, naturally planning Wu Di, and at this time, he is involved in Yingzhou, and he wants to go to Heshuo to plan a business, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as training troops and preventing Caizhou from entering Yingbo in the east, right?" Wang Miao groaned, " Looking at the sovereign and Guanzhong Hu Shang friendship, a large number of war horses were purchased, to form a cavalry, reasoning, if the sovereign only wants to Jiangnan, the formation of the cavalry can be slowly plotted, but the sovereign is the opposite, all kinds of signs, a certain thought that the sovereign in Wu after the situation is clear, will plot Huaibei, especially Xuzhou!"

Of course, Mei Guo understood the meaning of Wang Miao's words.

Xuzhou is the hub of the eastern part of the country, the land of the natural king, take Xuzhou, the north can refer to Qilu, the south can overlook the Jianghuai, the east has the advantage of fishing and salt sea, the west can look at the Central Plains, now the strong outside the home, after the ant thief rebellion, it is already the weakest time, and although Caizhou is trying to seize Yingbo, but it is just the beginning, Jiang Feng is now trying his best to prevent Caizhou from not allowing it to smoothly seek to seize Yingbo, and is bent on taking Xuzhou before Caizhou takes Yingbo, and only in this way can Caizhou be overwhelmed in the strategic situation, so that it is under the situation of the sandwich between Huaiyou and Daliang, so that it does not dare to act rashly。

And once Xuzhou is captured by Caizhou, the strategic advantage will be quickly reversed, Yuan's condescending, bound to pose a huge threat to the entire Jianghuai, and to obtain Xuzhou, I am afraid that the two states of Sihai will most likely fall into the hands of Yuan, and then Yuan's will really become uncontrollable.

Therefore, for Huaiyou, in a sense, the importance of Xuzhou is even more important than the more prosperous Yangzhou and Runzhou, which are more prosperous and prosperous, and it can be said that there is no room for loss, or that Huaiyou can tolerate Xuzhou falling into the hands of the Shi family, because it is safe, but it must not be allowed to let the Yuan family, a thriving feudal lord, gain, otherwise it will immediately become a sharp sword hanging over Huaiyou's head.

Wang Miao's analysis made Mei Guo also fall into deep thought.

He has always thought that Jiang Feng's focus will be on the south of the Yangtze River, indeed, the east and west of the Jiangnan two dozens of states, the host states are prosperous, not only the land of fish and rice, tea, silk satin, porcelain, are all bulk export goods, and the west states are vast, but also extremely important grain, tea, oil production areas, with Huaiyou's current military strength, in the south of the Yangtze River siege still has the power of a war, but if it is really placed in the Central Plains Heshuo Qilu, and Daliang, Caizhou, Compared with the military powerhouses of Taining and Pinglu, they are obviously inferior, which can be seen from the combat effectiveness of the Huaiyou Army.

Therefore, Mei Guo never thought that Jiang Feng would have the idea of going north to seize Xuzhou, but now after Wang Miaoyi's analysis, he has to admit that in the long run, from the overall situation, I am afraid that seeking Xuzhou is more important and urgent than seeking Yangzhou.

Unless Jiang Feng only wants to be a vassal in the south of the Yangtze River, then Jiang Feng is bound to seek to seize Xuzhou, only by taking Xuzhou, he will have the opportunity to dominate the Central Plains, since the Qin and Han dynasties, the land of Jiangnan to enter the Central Plains and get the unification, unheard of, the Three Kingdoms of Wu State, later the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, have all fallen in the north, even Jianghuai has never really completely conquered, let alone the Central Plains.

Mei Guo can't judge Jiang Feng's ambitions, but from Jiang Feng's performance for more than a year, Mei Guo can also get a glimpse of one or two, that is, Jiang Feng is unwilling to be the lord of the people, since he started to gain a foothold in Gushi, so in the past year or two, there has almost never stopped, non-stop conquest, even if he knows that the conquest of Wu is imminent, he still refuses to let go of the opportunity to block Caizhou, such a diligent monarch can be described as rare.

What's even more rare is that Jiang Feng's far-reaching strategic vision and broad-mindedness are even more convincing, and following such a monarch makes it impossible for you to plan without dedication and strive for the best.

"Jiulang, I'm afraid you also think that the lord has such a grand wish, so he is willing to give up Caizhou and vote for Huaiyou, right?"

"Well, brother, there is a reason for this, Caizhou's strength was much stronger than Huaiyou's at that time, but Caizhou was too closed and xenophobic, which is certainly beneficial to its internal stability, but in the later stage, its disadvantages will gradually appear, and the sovereign in this regard is much better, plus Caizhou has no intention of going on a northern expedition, and a certain sovereign has great ambitions, and wants to plot against the Central Plains, then Heshuo is a place to fight, and I hope that one day I can follow the sovereign, chase the deer and Heshuo, and have a family feud!" Wang Miao did not hide his thoughts.

Hearing Wang Miao say this, Mei Guo didn't say anything more.

However, after Zhang Yue and Xu Ziqing returned, Mei Guo told Wang Miao's previous words to the two, and both of them were silent.

Both of them realized that if Wang Miao expected to be true, the future Huaibei Heshuo line must be the Huaibei Heshuo line, and Huaibei, Caizhou and even the more northern Heshuo, Pinglu and other feudal domains will face one battle after another, with the current performance of the second and third armies, it is simply not enough to support this heavy task, and it is no wonder that Wang Miao disdains the performance of the second and third armies.

If you want to win the respect of the other party, you can only use your own strength and performance to convince the other party.

It was finally dark.

Although it is very unlikely that the Caizhou army will attack the city at night, the soldiers on the city wall still dare not be negligent.

Hanging lanterns and torches illuminated the walls as if it were daytime, and a small noise came from the other side of the walls with the wind.

The soldiers were a little tired after a day of fierce fighting, and most of the soldiers had already begun to rest, except for the sentries on night duty, who had eaten the cakes and hot soup brought by the masters.

According to the custom, the guards on duty were still divided into several groups, one of them was on the city wall, which was to prevent the timely response in case of an unexpected surprise attack, and most of the others went down the city wall to live in the barracks around the inner wall under the city wall.

When Lu Tong came to the city gate, he was the only one who was the closest and most reliable guard.

It's really a big deal, he doesn't dare to use too many people, even if it's his own pro-barracks, he doesn't dare to believe it all, who can say clearly whether Ryazan has set up eyeliner in his pro-barracks?

But this personal guard is all recruited from the clansmen in his hometown, with the same interests and a vital fate, and outsiders cannot buy it, which Lu Tong is confident in, so he dares to bring it with confidence.

Because there were soldiers stationed on the city wall, and the drawbridge was hung high, there were not many soldiers stationed in the city gate, and the Gain barracks were very close to here and could be reinforced at any time, so there was only one soldier of the Ninth Army at the city gate.

"My lord, do you come to check the night in person so late?" Du Tou greeted him with a smile and greeted him politely.

"The war is tense, don't dare to be unprepared. Lu Tong also smiled faintly, and looked around again, "Huaiyou's fire dragon cannon and heavy bed crossbow are placed over there, where are their people?"
