"Your Majesty! Jiankang, the capital of Chen, is on the Yangtze River! And Huaizhou has the Yangtze River! ”

"This is why Chen Guo has never used troops against Huaizhou!"

"When my Zhou State used troops against Qi State, it was such a great opportunity for Chen Guo, and he still stood still, making it clear that Chen Guo was coveting my Zhou State!"

"Chen Guo must be thinking, my Zhou State will not dare to offend two neighboring countries at the same time, and wait for my Yangzhou Road army to align and pull out! Chen Guo even if I attacked Zhou Guo! I'm not afraid that my Zhou Guo will hate him! ”

"If I, Zhou Guo, retaliate against Chen Guo with soldiers! Chen Guoke took advantage of the situation to make friends with Qi Guo! This will constitute our Zhou State to fight two countries at the same time! ”

"So Chen Guo's gamble is that even if they attack my Zhou Kingdom, my Zhou Kingdom will not dare to retaliate back in order to avoid fighting at the same time!"

"So," before Eldest Sun Hong could finish what he wanted to say, Yuwen Shihong interrupted and said as he spoke:

"To cede Huaizhou to Chen is to befriend Chen and avoid the two countries at the same time."

"But! Huaizhou is not an ordinary city! Its importance is even equal to that of the Huai River! ”

In the excitement, the three of them chattered again, and what they said made sense, but Yuwen Shihong also had his own opinions.

"I came here on this trip after visiting Chen Guo in the name of friendship, and I also saw clearly that Chen Guo had a negative attitude towards the war, and the reason for the negativity was that I didn't want to fall into the wear and tear of the war, and let my Zhou State and Qi State consume each other."

"Militarily, it is easy to form a situation of 'snipe and mussel competing for fishermen's profits'."

"Only if the interests are sufficient, can Chen Guo be torn off the position of a fisherman and let Chen Guo also fall into the war, which is the most effective measure to prevent a fire in the backyard."

"Why did Chen Guo keep his troops against Huaizhou, and what he prevented was that my Zhou State would suddenly attack him Chen Guo when there was a fire in the backyard."

"If I, Zhou Guo, can reach an agreement with Chen Guo and align to seize their own interests, this is a win-win situation, temporary."

"When our Zhou State completely takes the Huai River, then turn the spearhead and point to the only remaining target Huaizhou, this order is the most foolproof, and do not pin your own fate on the wish, and make a wish that the Chen State will not sneak attack behind the tail of our army."

"Why since ancient times, the Yangtze River must be guarded, it is because the Jiangling area of the Yangtze River has natural defects, and the infantry army can cross the river, but it is impossible to defend the Yangtze River alone."

"Therefore, Huaizhou and Huaihe are the only interests that can lure Chen Guo into joining the war."

"The three-legged stand is the biggest constraint on my Zhou State to unify the Central Plains!"

"Only destroy the Qi country first! Just Chen Guo, talent is not a problem! ”

"Eh," after listening carefully to Yuwen Shihong's words, the eldest grandson Hong hurriedly took out the map from the camp tent:

"If Huaizhou is ceded to Chen Guo, according to Chen Guo's tradition, he will concentrate China's strength more on the coastal area south of the Yangtze River, so that the south of Jiangling will be empty......"

"This will lead to two containments, one is to contain the possibility of Qi completely losing friendship with Chen and using Chen to confront our Zhou State, and second, it will even contain Chen's control over its Jiangling area, and after Qi completely loses the ability to resist and destroy the country, ......"

"For my Zhou State, the next step of Chen Guo's unification of the Central Plains will also be ...... Go with the flow? ”

"Wonderful, this is a long-term win-win!"

……

"Drive!"

On the other side, Yang Shuang's chest pocket contained two heavy tiger talismans.

He received a secret order from Yuwen Shihong-

Mobilize 50,000 troops and go north to Guizhen County!

On the eve of the winter just after winter and the Turks will go south to plunder as before, raid the Turks!

And Yang Jian was full of question marks.

He also received a secret order from Yuwen Shihong-

In the name of Zhijinwu, he went to Luoyang, commanded the garrisons of Luoyang and Liangzhou, and garrisoned the city.

He was strange that Liangzhou was taken by Tang Yong, where did Tang Yong go? Where did Yang Shuang go again?

Luoyang in front of him has long returned to normal, and it is even more prosperous and lively than before.

The street is full of people patronizing some shops, such as the Food Department, the Instrument Department, and other shops, and there is always an endless stream of people buying things.

After a long time, many people in Luoyang, who are nimble-minded, also thought of taking out the eggs laid by the chickens and ducks "fostered" by the Agricultural Affairs Department to sell them.

This thing is a treasure, and an egg can even sell for fifty dollars!

Fifty dollars can buy ten liters of millet!

In the past, when most of the peasants were tenants, the grain left in their hands was only enough to buy salt.

Now that all the income from farming belongs to him, he can also sell the surplus grain to the Department of Agriculture at a good price.

With the money in hand, you naturally have the ability to enjoy a few more meals of meat and eggs.

Luoyang's Department of Agriculture noticed that the "price" of eggs was too high, and was writing a letter to be submitted to Beijing, and proposed to expand the "production scale" of eggs, so that the "price" could fall back if there were more eggs, and the people would be able to buy more things if they were closer to the "rated" surplus money.

When he was thinking about proposing that some farmers farm the land and raise chickens with the Department of Maintenance, but mainly to lay eggs, and the money from selling them is his own, so as to increase income channels and increase egg production, Yang Jian, who inquired everywhere about Yang Shuang's whereabouts, inquired all the way to the Department of Agriculture.

Yang Jinsong, as the supreme official of the Luoyang Agricultural Bureau, was dragged by Yang Jian:

"Do you know where my brother has gone? Earlier, he had been stationed in Luoyang with his troops. ”

Yang Jin was stunned for a moment, and then recalled that just a few days ago, Yang Shuang had indeed come to look for him.

But the purpose of looking for him was not to ask for supplies, but to "return" more than half of the grain and grass that the 50,000 army had taken away earlier, even the salted meat.

said that when he came back and returned it to him, he needed the courage to break the cauldron and support himself in northern Xinjiang.

As soon as he heard Yang Jinsong's words, a terrifying conjecture suddenly popped up in Yang Jian's mind-

Yang Shuang, this kid, wouldn't he want to be like the Turkic barbarians and rely on "looting" to raise an army, right?!

So...... Northern? Is this kid going to rob the Turks?

Yang Jian, who was shocked, hurriedly entrusted his military affairs to a group of lieutenants and lieutenants, and then hurriedly ordered a thousand troops, all of them straddled their war horses, and went all the way to the north!

……

Yang Shuang was actually under a lot of pressure, and he was a little uneasy in his heart.

Because he had never fought against the Turks, he had only heard of the barbarism of the Turks.

But those heards are an important reason why Yang Shuang decided to lead an army of 50,000 people, and even took only five days of grain and grass, and resolutely went north to join forces with Tang Yong and launch a surprise attack on the Turks!

In the desert covered with yellow sand, there is an endless desert in front and behind.

An army of 50,000 temporarily camped for one night beside a desert river that is rarely seen, and this river is said to be called Ushikawa.

After crossing the Niu River, there is no river in front of you, so you can only resign yourself to fate.

From the next day, they will have no hesitation, climb over a desert, and go straight to the Turkic territory! Until you see the Daze River, which belongs to the Turks, there may be no water on this road!
