"My lord, so Liu Xuan has made up his mind to do something to Caizhou, so what should we do?" Xue Chan couldn't help but ask. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If Liu Xuan has made up his mind, then it is pointless to stay in Nanyang any longer, what needs to be done is to try his best to urge the Great Jin and Taining armies and Huaibei to send troops quickly, and to go all out to launch an attack on Daliang, so as to minimize the pressure on Caizhou's eastern, northern and western fronts, so that Caizhou can free up his hands as soon as possible to deal with Nanyang's attack.

Wei Chi Wuzhi's fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the Hu chair, as if he was considering the current chaotic and complicated situation.

Although Liu Xuan's ambition is great, he is not a person who does not know the current affairs, and he should also expect that once he insists on sending troops to Caizhou, it is equivalent to breaking with the entire original anti-Liang system.

The Li family in Guanzhong, the Great Jin Dynasty, the Taining Army, and Huaibei will all turn against him, plus he marched into Anzhou, resented Huhuang, and Xiangyang, which was not in harmony with him, can be said to be all enemies around him except for Daliang.

Can Liu Xuan withstand this drastic change from a popular strategic posture to an enemy on all sides?

Especially the huge pressure from Guanzhong Li Zhengshuo, does he Liu Xuan really dare to ignore it?

He Liu Xuan and Daliang Zhu are different, and now the relationship between Guanzhong and Daliang still maintains an extremely subtle tacit understanding.

Da Liang will not take the initiative to provoke Guanzhong, and even give up a few points in some details, and Guanzhong will never easily cross the line, such as publicly reprimanding Da Liang, or directly asking who will send troops to Da Liang, so as to avoid tearing their faces and bringing irreparable damage to both sides.

Although the Zhengshuo status of the Li clan in Guanzhong is still there, it is limited to its own strength, and it has lost the land of Bianluo in the Central Plains, and its influence is gradually declining, but the identity of Zhengshuo makes the vassal have to seek the recognition of Guanzhong in order to make their own identity and legitimacy of their rule.

This situation is somewhat similar to the situation of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms, although the king of Zhou has no hard power, but he still has a certain influence, and the Liang is like the original Qin state, and he also hates the king of Zhou for a while but is helpless, and he has to be vain and wronged.

But Liu Xuan thought that he could also be like Da Liang, and he was wrong, as long as the Li family issued an edict, the legitimacy of his identity could be questioned.

For example, opposing its annexation of Anzhou, granting Anzhou to Ehuang, and even directly handing over Shenzhou to others, this method may not make it immediately damaged for a while, but after a long time, this subtle influence will still be reflected.

After all, this world still respects Zhengshuo, and Li Tang's Zhengshuo In addition to those barbarian Hu people in the north, Jianghuai in the Central Plains, Wuyue Heshuo, Shannan Jiannan, these local people still agree.

"No, not necessarily, although Liu Xuan is ambitious, he is not an arrogant person, there are some things he doesn't want to understand clearly, and he doesn't dare to act rashly. Wei Chi Wuxian shook his head slowly, and said his judgment, "I guess he should also be in contact with all parties at this time, it seems that he has to weigh the pros and cons before he dares to make a decision, but it should be soon." ”

Wei Chi Wuzhi was also figuring out Liu Xuan's thoughts at this time.

It is impossible to say that Liu Xuan has no ambition for Caizhou, Wei Chi Wuxian and the Liu brothers have known each other for decades, with his understanding of Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan is only afraid that he has already had this intention, but because the conditions in all aspects are not yet mature, so he has not made a decision for a long time.

The nine major families outside the Li family in Chang'an, the eldest grandson, Yao, Song, and Fang are civil and official families, Xu, Wei Chi, Xue, Guo, and Wei are military generals, and the children of the nine families are all good friends with Nanyang Erliu, like Xue Chan, who followed Wei Chi to be sick, is also a child of the Xue family, and he has known Liu Tong and Liu Xuan's brothers for a long time, and the Wei Chi family and the Liu family are even more worldly friends, Liu Xuan also needs to consider that once he violates the attitude of the Li family in Guanzhong, it is equivalent to having a bad relationship with the entire Guanzhong wealthy family, can he bear such a price?

But if you want to say how much pressure Liu Xuan has to bear, it may not be true, the Great Jin and Taining armies do not border the Nanyang territory, and they have little impact, even if Huaibei borders in the future, it is difficult to have much impact on it, as for the Ehuang Du clan, I am afraid that they are still more afraid.

The ones who can really have a substantial impact on Liu Xuan are Guanzhong and the Xiao family in Xiangyang.

Guanzhong's influence on it is all-round, and it may even promote Liu Tong's attitude towards him to change, while the Xiao family is a real threat.

From the terrain, it can be seen that if Liu Xuan loses the protection of Nanyang Prefecture and Mizhou, Sui Prefecture will face the attack of the Xiangyang Army from the east at any time, and its strategic situation will change.

And as soon as the Xiangyang army really poses a threat to Suizhou, then the Ehuang Du clan, who originally did not dare to argue with Liu Xuan, is afraid that his attitude will also change, plus Huaibei, I am afraid that Liu Xuan will also be in a possible situation of being hosted.

On the one hand, there is a huge temptation of interests, and on the other hand, there is a possibility of deteriorating external relations, which is indeed a test for Liu Xuan, but Wei Chi Wuzhi thinks that if there are no other unexpected factors, Liu Xuan may eventually choose to send troops to Caizhou.

Without him, let his children and grandchildren gain greater territory and glory, instead of succumbing to his brother's descendants, this temptation is difficult for Liu Xuan, who has always had to succumb to Liu Tong and feel deeply bound, to refuse.

He didn't want his son to be like him, and he knew that the opportunity could not be lost.

If Liu Xuan did not choose to do it to Caizhou, but chose to do it to Ehuang, or even to Xiangyang, the Li family in Guanzhong would stay out of the matter, and even be happy to see it, Erliu's power has grown, and he will always have some restrictions on Daliang, but only for Caizhou, it is difficult for Guanzhong to accept.

Seeing that Wei Chi Wu's face was cloudy, Xue Mingdong couldn't help it anymore.

This time, the heads of the Yuan and Xue families sent themselves to Nanyang to see Wei Chi Wu's illness, just to use Wei Chi Wu's influence to stop Liu Xuan's movements, and even offered extremely generous conditions, such as giving up Guangzhou, but this condition would not be put forward unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Uncle Wei Chi, can you urge the Xiao family to ......?"

Wei Chi glanced at Xue Mingdong without illness, and groaned slightly: " Ming Dong, I know what you mean, if the Xiao family is stationed on the eastern front, it can indeed put pressure on Liu Xuan, but have you considered it, as soon as the Xiao family moves, it may make the contradiction between Liu Tong and Liu Xuan suddenly give way to the pressure of external aggression, the Liu family has always been not on good terms with the Xiao family, the Xiao family is reckless at this time, and will only give Liu Xuan the truth, and the Liu family may unite within the family, and even Liu Tong's family will support Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan can send troops to Caizhou more unscrupulously, and if the Xiao family dares to send troops to Suizhou, then the Nanyang army can also go south to Xiangyang, and the Xiao family can make a gesture, if they want to really send troops, I am afraid they are not really ready for this。 ”

Xue Mingdong's heart was cold for a while, but he also knew that Wei Chi's words were true.

Sending troops to Nanyang is such a big thing, and it is not as simple as saying hello to someone in the Xiao family when he is not sick.

It's okay to make a gesture, but if you really want to send troops, I'm afraid that the Xiao family will act cautiously, which is in line with the interests of the Xiao family at the moment, these need to be considered one by one, and when you think about it clearly, I'm afraid it will have already passed the three autumns.

His gaze swept over Xue Mingdong's tangled face, this kid was still too young, and he couldn't hide things in his heart, it seemed that the Yuan family was indeed forced too hard. , The Yuan family actually couldn't send a more suitable candidate to Nanyang, and sent this kid here, do you think that he is one of the candidates for his own fast son-in-law? The Yuan family also thinks too highly of his influence, and he is a little self-deprecating when he thinks of this.

Da Liang seems to have really moved his character this time, and the humiliation of Nan Chenzhou is probably like a thorn in the heart of Da Liang's generals, and if he doesn't pull it out, he won't be able to do it quickly, and he still has a judgment on this point.

But the only thing I didn't expect was that Liu Xuan would get involved, it seems that Shenzhou's success did arouse Liu Xuan's ambitions, and Anzhou's easy inclusion in the bag stimulated his desire even more, which made him so presumptuous.

"Mingdong, you give me a letter of approval, does Caizhou intend to hand over Gwangju in exchange for Liu Xuan's stop?" After a deep groan, Wei Chi Wuxian finally asked.

Xue Mingdong's body trembled slightly, his face changed, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle Wei Chi, before I came, the two heads of the family did tell me that if Nanyang can give Caizhou full support, Caizhou is willing to transfer Guangzhou to Nanyang, but it is best to give it to Liu Tong, and Caizhou is willing to play and ask Liu Ying to be appointed as the assassin of Guangzhou." ”

"Liu Ying's assassination history for Shenzhou?" Wei Chi Wuxian smiled and glanced at Xue Mingdong, "How can the Liu family be recruited for such a divisive plan?"

Liu Ying is Liu Tong's third son, and the second son Liu Guang is already the history of the assassin of Mizhou, although Liu Tong himself is still serving as the Yin of Nanyang Mansion, but everyone knows that it is his eldest son Liu Han's bag, if Shenzhou is handed over to Liu Ying, it will undoubtedly greatly stimulate Liu Xuan, so that the relationship between Liu Tong and Liu Xuan is suddenly tense.

"But if it is directly given to Liu Xuan, and Liu Xuan has to gain an inch after he succeeds, what should he do?" Xue Mingdong asked rhetorically: "Let Liu Tong's family take over, at least you can contain Liu Xuan in the east and make him unable to do whatever he wants!"

"No, Liu Tong will not accept this kind of trick that is too obvious, this can only stimulate Liu Xuan. Wei Chi stood up without illness and walked back and forth a little anxiously.

Liu Xuan now has more than 80,000 troops in his hands, he only has 20,000 troops in Anzhou, only 15,000 troops in Suizhou, and the remaining 40,000 troops are all placed in Shenzhou, and all the 8,000 cavalry are transferred from Suizhou to Shenzhou.

Xue Mingdong couldn't help but stand up and raise his voice.

Caizhou's intelligence collection of Nanyang is also extremely accurate, and he has obviously long been aware of the danger of this ally who used to secretly communicate with each other when he was plotting to seize Shenguang Erzhou. (To be continued.) )
