Tian Chunlai didn't expect to bring great preferential treatment to Chaohu water bandits at once. If a group of water bandits had not needed a black thug to do something that Huaiyou could not take action openly, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the turn of Chaohu water bandits to flatter him.

The Shouzhou navy's strength steadily crushed Chaohu water bandits, but it was not in the same place, not in its position, and was not in its own position and did not do its own politics.

Of course, Chaohu water bandits do have their advantages, that is, they go from Luzhou to Feishui into Chaohu, and then from Ruxu to Jiang River to enter the water. This waterway can be said to allow Luzhou to be connected with Jiangnan. If this road is controlled, it will indeed have a great impact on Luzhou.

And there is no naval army in Luzhou, so it is naturally controlled by others.

As the leader of the Shouzhou naval army, he did have some friendship with Kou Wenli. Tian Chunlai really wanted to find a way out for this man. In the past, Shouzhou was also dependent on Wu Yang, so Tian Chunlai naturally could not have the ability to convince Wu Yang to forgive the Chaohu water bandits, but now the opportunity has finally come.

When Huaiyou is employed, he will naturally not care too much, but you, Chaohu water bandits, have to come up with some decent letters of vote.

Jiang Feng and his men discussed for a while how to conquer the two states of Luhao, and how to conquer the people's hearts once they were taken down.

Before this, Huaiyou had also begun to engage in early win-win and differentiate and lobbying.

The two states of Luhao are close to Shouzhou, and the Tian family in Shouzhou has a special in-law relationship with Wu and Yang, so the Tian family has many contacts with the gentry and prominent families in Luhao and the two states of Luhao.

For Tian Chun, the most familiar place in Wu was Luzhou, and the place he visited the most was Luzhou, so he was even more familiar with the gentry and prominent families in Luzhou than Zhang Wanshan, the leader of the Wuwen Hall.

Tian Chunlai has been involved in this early work, and several Tian family members have entered Wuwen Hall, specializing in Luhao and Chuzhou, especially the focus is on Luhao and the two prefectures.

However, the early results can only be said to be average, and no one will easily express their attitude, especially before the Yang and Xu dispute were clear, whether it was reasonable or not, the wealthy and prominent families in Luzhou could only support Yang Pu and would not find another way out.

However, with many friends and many ways, no one would refuse the olive branch that Huaiyou had sent, especially because it was the one that Tian family had sent.

Everything needs to be cleared until the internal strife in Wu is revealed, and Yang Pu's tragic failure resulted in an inability to turn over will completely extinguish the thoughts of these wealthy families. But at that time, Huaiyou had to choose his future partners.

For Huaiyou now, it is more important to understand the details of the situation in Luhao and the two states. In fact, during this period, Wuwentang has done more of this work. Only when the war meets each other can we use it in a targeted manner.

************************************************************

Looking at the dilapidated streets, Yuan Wuwei's mood became more and more bitter.

Occasionally, a few vagrant beggars with dull eyes came out of the remote alley with their bodies sideways. When they saw the soldiers wearing armor, they shrank back and returned to peace on the street.

A few ragged shop signs were thrown on the ground, one was burnt out, leaving only the word "Zhang" and the other one had some black blood stains on it. The two characters of silk and satin in the official style were vaguely visible, and they should be the signboard of a silk shop.

A wild dog also ran past the ditch, and it was a bit strong, but his eyes were also creepy, and he was not even afraid of people. He also grinned at Yuan Wuwei and his group. He didn't know if it had eaten enough of the rotten corpses in the city had restored its wolf nature to its ancestors.

Occasionally, a few crow noises came, which made the empty streets feel a little cold. Even if it was noon, it would make people shudder.

Linquan, a county in the later generations of Chenqiu, was originally a large county in the northwest of Yingzhou, with a population of more than 400,000. If the goods from Chenzhou were to be transported to Jianghuai, they would have to go to Shenqiu. The Xiao Rushui passed ten miles northeast of the county, and Shili Fort was even more famous and lively docked. These goods were shipped from Shili Fort and could go straight to Ruyin, then enter Huai and reach Jiangnan.

Nowadays, Shenqiu is uninhabited for a hundred miles. The Caizhou army has been searching for more than a thousand people everywhere. Even the Master cannot make up the number, let alone any on-site supplies.

Yuan Wuwei was gaze around and was also evasing in his heart. If Caizhou took Yingzhou, he didn't know how much more investment would be needed to restore it to its original state.

Taking Shenqiu as an example, I am afraid that the population is not one in ten, and the countryside has become a piece of white land.

Liang Zan must have been suspicious of Caizhou for a long time, so he even scraped Shenqiu again and drove all the mobilized forces to Ruyin and Yingshang, turning the sunken hill into a deserted city.

After sighing, Yuan Wuwei shook his head. This was not a solution.

The Caizhou army has entered Chenqiu for two days. The location of Chenqiu County is not good and is too far away. It lives in a corner of the northwest of Yingzhou, on the west bank of Xiaoru River.

If the Heshuo Army wants to go south, it will definitely descend from Bozhou along Zhenyuan or Luyi. Then the path you choose must be along the east bank of the Yingshui River.

This means that our side and Heshuo Army are still separated by Xiaoru River and Ying River, and there are two natural barriers that harm the Heshuo Army, so Heshuo Army should feel very safe.

The information fed back shows that the troops descending from Heshuo did not concentrate southward, but went south in batches.

Due to geographical reasons, the Chengde Army said that it had passed Zhecheng County, at the southwest end of Songzhou, and was about to enter Bozhou.

Let’s estimate the time. If the Chengde Army traveled day and night, even if they took a break in Zhenyuan or Luyi, the line was flat and suitable for marching in the wild, so the Chengde Army should have entered Yingzhou now.

The Cheng-German army combines horse and stance, with only three or four thousand troops. However, such an army has been through a long battle formation. Perhaps morale training has declined in recent years, but Yuan Wuwei never dared to underestimate these old soldiers who had fought with the Shatuo people for many years. The experience and survival will be enough to make up for everything.

If they are given enough time to rest and adjust their breathing, and with sufficient food and fodder, the army will soon become stronger again, which is very dangerous.

Although Yuan Wuwei did not make it too clear in the military discussion, the feeling of hidden worries still lingers with him, which made him always have the urge to solve this hidden worries as soon as possible.

The Heshuo Army and the Yingzhou Invasion Army cannot be allowed to join forces. Once they join forces, their combat effectiveness may be doubled!

Yuan Wuwei did not believe that Heshuo Army was just a simple march in Nantou Huaiyou. The choice was provocative at this time. If Huaiyou really did not want to conflict with Caizhou, he should choose to avoid this sensitive time.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wuwei became more and more anxious. He suddenly rode his horse, turned his head, and said, "Go back!"

When Yuan Wuwei stepped into the palace step by step, Yuan Huaiqing was also full of sorrow.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qiu's situation was so bad. Although the scout had reported the situation here before, when you stepped into the city in person, you realized that this place was worse than you thought.

There were only hundreds of people in the entire Chenqiu County, and almost all the old and weak beggars who could not escape. The idea of ​​catching a group of teachers and helping the servants was vain. Fortunately, the ant thief showed mercy and did not completely burn down Chenqiu County. Finally, some houses that could be lived in were left.

There was no food, no firewood, and even the wells were contaminated. When the ant thief ransacked the hills, too many women could not bear the humiliation and threw them into the wells. Almost all the wells were filled with rotten corpses, and even if they were cleaned up, they would not be able to use them in the short term.

The soldiers had to go out of the city to fetch water, and even walked several miles away.

The moat of Shenqiu originally attracted Xiao Ru River, but it was filled with many blockages by ant thieves, leaving behind sections of stagnant water. The stagnant water was also filled with white bones everywhere, and the smell was stenched.

For safety reasons, Yuan Huaiqing also strictly forbids the soldiers to use the water in the moat, even if some areas seem to be decent.

All the supplies needed to be transported from the rear, from Shenqiu to Ruyin, almost all the land was white. Liang Zan did not leave anything for the Caizhou army. It seemed that there was a battle to clear the world.

Since Caizhou and Huaibei were still in harmony and all the road conditions were acceptable, but this Chenqiu was an exception. It was located in a corner of the northeast of Yingzhou and was similar to Pingyu and Xincai. No matter where it was transporting supplies, grain and fodder, it was not very convenient. This was also the reason why Yuan Huaiqing was upset.

But this is not the most troublesome thing for Yuan Huaiqing. The Caizhou army has been in the Yingzhou territory for a few days, but a mere ruined Chen Qiu is obviously not the purpose of sending troops this time. However, if the troops were sent to Ruyin, Yuan Huaiqing would have some concerns.

The Heshuo Army had already arrived in Bozhou, and no one knew the purpose and combat power of this army very well. Even if Yuan Wuwei gave some introductions, they were still superficial and could only be known in a real battle.

If the Heshuo Army did not show hostility, how should the Caizhou Army respond? Could it be that they just watched the other party marching in front of them with great swagger?

A sense of unreasonable crisis lingers in Yuan Huaiqing's heart, making him realize that he cannot continue like this, even if it is the order of the head of the family.

"Brother Qing!"

"Lao Qi, what's wrong?" Yuan Huaiqing rarely saw Yuan Wuwei looking so anxious. In his impression, this cousin next to him has always been low-key and calm, and it is rare to see this situation today.

"Have Wenliang not come back yet?" Yuan Wuwei calmed down a little. This time, Yuan Huaiqing was the head coach, and he and Yuan Wenliang were the deputy head coach. Many things still need Yuan Wenliang to discuss.
