It stands to reason that although Jiang Feng and this Zhong Han are quite close to each other, it is impossible to discuss such a deep-seated issue. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, Jiang Feng has discussed with Mei Quan, Yang Kan, Tian Chunlai, Zhang Ting and others in the past two days, and they all feel that the Zhennan Army and Huaiyou are far away at present, but they are all involved in Wu Di, and they may as well consider developing into allies.

And Zhong Han's positive attitude undoubtedly has this intention, for Zhong Han's side, hunting frogs has undoubtedly become a secondary purpose, if you can reach an alliance with the Huaiyou army, it is even more important than hunting frogs.

The primary goal of the Zhennan Army is to recover Jiangrao Erzhou, with their current situation, they can only consider this goal, the strength of the Dazhong clan is not weak, even if it has the support of the Peng and Lu families, there is still a tough battle to fight.

At present, Huaiyou's strategic intentions cannot be determined for a while because of Huaiyou's own strength, but if Huaiyou wants to plot against Wudi, then Haozhou and Luzhou are the first to bear the burden, and secondly, you can also consider the two small states of He, Chu, which are close to Lu and Hao.

As for Chu, Yang, Run, and Chang Prefectures, although they are more affluent, Jiang Feng also knows that first, it is a place where the ant thieves are staring, and secondly, the neighboring Yue Kingdom is afraid that it will not let go easily, and the Xu clan itself has a very strong foundation in these states, so it is difficult to judge the future direction.

Therefore, regardless of the states of Chu Yangrunchang, Huaiyou's target is actually the western states of Wu, which is also the area where Yang Pu has greater influence, and Yang Pu wants to compete with Xu Zhihe, and it is necessary to urge Jiang Rao and the neighboring Shu, Xuan, She, and Quzhou to send troops to help.

Now Shuzhou has formed an alliance under the strong pressure of Huaiyou, and it is impossible to provide Yang Pu with Yuan's army, but Xuanzhou was attacked and harassed by the ant thief Han Baling, and he was too busy to take care of himself, and even asked Jiang Rao and She, Qu Erzhou for help.

According to the normal situation, Yang Pu's strength is much inferior to Xu Zhihe, and now there are no reinforcements, and defeat is a matter of course.

However, there are still two major variables here, one is the timing and goal of the ant thief's southern crossing, and the other is the extent to which the Vietnamese National Assembly will intervene in the civil strife in Ngo.

If both of these are trying to eliminate Xu Zhihe in one fell swoop, then maybe before Yang Pu is defeated, Xu Zhihe will be finished first, if this happens, then Yang Pu may escape from the tiger's mouth.

Yang Pu's escape from the tiger's mouth is undoubtedly the last thing the Zhennan army wants to see, once the Wu State continues to exist, then Jiangrao Erzhou will always become a hidden danger, so for the Zhennan Army, if the Huaiyou Army can send troops to Lu, Hao, He, and Chu Prefectures, and uproot the foundation of the Yang clan in one fell swoop, then it can completely cut off the foreign aid of the Dazhong clan, and at the same time deter Xuan, She, and Qu Prefectures, so that they dare not move, so that the Zhennan Army can solve the problem of Jiangrao Erzhou in a good time.

This is the main reason why Zhong Han is eager to befriend Huaiyou.

Zhong Han had actually considered this question raised by Jiang Feng for a long time, but when Jiang Feng said this, it seemed to imply that the Huaiyou Army was not ready to intervene in the situation in Wudi.

According to the news obtained by the Zhennan Army, within two to three months, the civil strife in Wu will definitely start, and the ant thief Qin Quan's department will definitely cross south, and the ant thief Han Baling Department who stayed in Xuanzhou is also bound to march into Runchang Erzhou.

The outcome of this battle could have been predicted, but with the variable of ant thieves, it is really difficult to predict.

"Hanzhi, it's not easy to say, the ant thief Qin Quan's department has stayed in Huaibei for a long time, and it stands to reason that they can't stay in Huaibei for a long time, but they would rather go to Sizhou, or even go to Xuzhou and Haizhou to fight the autumn wind, and they don't want to cross Huai, it's not that they can't cross Huai, the water thieves in Baishui Lake have already surrendered to the ant thieves, this is the foreshadowing of the ant thieves, they just want to wait for the best time to hit Wu Guo by surprise, but the Yang and Xu families are already incompatible, and they have to turn against each other in this case, so this is also the will of God. ”

Jiang Feng sighed with emotion.

In fact, Jiang Feng can see this problem, the Qian family of Yueguo can see it, and the Shi family in Huaibei can also see it, and even the Shi family now has the spare strength to eliminate the ant thieves but is unwilling to waste their troops, which means that it is imminent for the ant thieves to cross the Huai in the south, so they would rather use the momentum of encirclement to curb the momentum of the ant thieves, but they are not willing to shake the main force of the ant thieves with a large army.

The ant thieves also pretended to be confused about this situation, and they also deliberately restrained their rampant behavior in Huaibei, just waiting for the opportunity.

Will the Wu Guo, Yang, and Xu families not see this situation? Of course, they know it well.

But the two Yang and Xu families are incompatible, Yang Pu takes back power, the Xu family will die without a place to be buried, the Xu family will succeed in seizing power, and the Yang family will be cut down and eradicated, in this case, after all, they have not really felt the fierceness of the ant thief,

"Since it is the will of heaven, why not conform to the will of heaven, and the Huai right soldiers are out of Luhao, which is also a move to comply with the will of heaven. Zhong Han said with some eagerness.

"Hanzhi, are you pushing me to the stove to roast, there is no order from the imperial court, why did my Huaiyou army go out of Wu?" As soon as Jiang Feng said this, he felt a little hypocritical, and said: "Of course, the imperial court order can be begged, after all, this war is together, and it is the gentry and the people who suffer, but my Huaiyou seems to be beautiful, and there are many hidden dangers." ”

"Oh, in a certain opinion, Huaiyou's current situation is very good, Shouzhou is a famous granary, as long as it can be restored to before the ant thieves raged, it is not a problem for one state to feed the people of three states, and the Huaiyou army has also experienced the war with the ant thieves and the Caizhou army, and has performed well, in this case, how can there be hidden dangers?"

Zhong Han didn't seem to believe it.

If you have to say that Huaiyou has any hidden dangers, Zhong Han feels that he may not completely control Shouzhou, but from Mei Kuang and Tian Chunlai, the two leading figures in Shouzhou, the attitude towards Jiang Feng negates Zhong Han's suspicions.

In addition, the Zheng family itself took the initiative to take refuge in Jiang Feng, and he also learned in the conversation with Tian Chunlai that Zheng Hong, the pillar of the Zheng family, served as the inspector of the Guanghun Shou Defense and Capture Embassy, so Zhong Han felt that Shouzhou should be in the bag now, so what is Jiang Feng's worry?

Jiang Feng couldn't answer this question for a while.

The problems existing in Huaiyou are multifaceted.

On the one hand, there is an imbalance in military strength, or in other words, it may be no problem to fight a defensive war, but there are many problems in really fighting field and siege warfare.

The second is that the three surnames of Shouzhou and even the entire gentry class of Huaiyou have not really identified with themselves from the heart, which is the biggest hidden worry.

Perhaps he has made these leading figures in the military realize the future prospects of Huaiyou, and realize that following him is the best choice to have a brighter future, but not everyone sees it this way.

In particular, the middle and lower strata of these gentry class, that is, the small and medium-sized gentry and the side branches of the big families, these people are the backbone of the gentry class.

They haven't enjoyed the benefits yet, especially after taking Shouzhou, in order to get a stable Shouzhou as soon as possible, they basically accepted the Shouzhou surname Wang.

That is to say, in this war, Jiang Feng did not win the land and business they wanted for the small and medium-sized gentry in Guanghun and the two states, and Shouzhou was still Shouzhou with the third surname of Shouzhou, except for some of the big names in Guanghun who could participate in the reconstruction and distribute some benefits, most of the small and medium-sized gentry in Guanghun and the two states, as well as the local small and medium-sized gentry in Shouzhou, did not get what they wanted.

This is also Jiang Feng's helpless move.

Shouzhou is different from Guanghun Erzhou, Shouzhou is a typical big clan to control the situation, the power of the three surnames is too strong, if Jiang Feng has enough time, he can completely eliminate the second surname of Umeda, and redistribute the land, property and business of the second surname of Umeda, he will definitely be able to win the strong support of the gentry of the second state of Jiaoguang Hun and the small and medium-sized gentry of Shouzhou, but the timing is not right.

Once the two Umeda families are dismembered, the Huaiyou Navy will collapse and will not be able to form combat effectiveness in the short term, while at the same time, the two Umeda families will definitely counterattack and cause chaos, and there will be no one or two years to re-stabilize the situation in Shouzhou.

And Shouzhou is the most important part of Jiang Feng's future hegemony, and at the same time, the situation of Wudi has also reached a critical node, only by firmly controlling Shouzhou, can he rely on Shouzhou as a bridgehead and get involved in the western states of Wudi.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to pay a huge concession to let the two Umeda families survive, and even promised them that they could enjoy the benefits of the western states of Wu in the future, otherwise how could the Umeda two families be so willing to tame their attitude and support themselves so firmly?

In fact, Jiang Feng also knows that the two major hidden worries to be solved can only be solved through continuous war, and there may be some failures and setbacks, but if you don't do this, then these hidden dangers will become bigger and bigger, and even in the end, they may evolve into a key failure and collapse their regime.

This idea was somewhat vague and wavering at the beginning, but with the stabilization of the situation in Shouzhou, the sincerity of the two Umeda families, and the great gains from Wang Miao's trip to Heshuo, it has become increasingly clear in Jiang Feng's heart.

The battle against Wu is inevitable, no matter what the victory or defeat of Yang Pu and Xu Zhihe, no matter how the ant thieves and the Yue Kingdom join the war group, Huaiyou will have to send troops, and the two states of Luhao are the most basic requirements, and they may even include the two states of Hechu.

This is equivalent to giving the gentry class in Guanghushou Sanzhou a cake of interests that makes them tickle, so that they can really taste the sweetness, only in this way, in the next war, they will be happy and convinced to charge forward.

Because of this, Jiang Feng can't wait to bring these generals to Lei Chi, he wants to improve the combat power of the generals through this hunt, and at the same time close the relationship between them, so that they can speed up their integration and prepare for the next battle.
