Section 46 Selfishness

"At present, I only know that about 20,000 people from the Huaiyou Army marched towards Qi County along the east bank of the Huanshui River. It is said that Jiang Feng, the Huaiyou Observation and Disposal Commander, personally led the army." The commander said it concisely and clearly.

"Come here, get the map! Go and invite Xiao Sima and Xu to join the army." The Dunshi man took a deep breath, "Twenty thousand people? How many people are Yao Chengtai stationed in Qi County? Where is Fu Li? Where is Tongqiao? What are the plans of Shi Feng Shangshang?"

Some clues can be heard from the words of Dushi Man. When Feng Shi was the governor of the Rebellion Army, he called him his name directly, but respected Shang Yunxi and Shang Shuai, and Yao Chengtai was also called him his name directly.

The map was quickly collected, and the Sima surnamed Xiao and the military surnamed Xu arrived quickly to introduce the current situation again.

The dumb man's eyes were always on the map. At this time, he no longer had the previous drunkenness, and instead had a sharp and burning look on his face.

"It is impossible for 20,000 people to take Xuzhou. The combat power of the Huaiyou Army is at most similar to that of the Invasion Army, or it is slightly better. However, Shi Feng's Yajun and Yao Chengtai are also still in a certain combat power. Jiang Feng cannot be so arrogant!" Sima, surnamed Xiao, looked confused and puzzled, "Isn't this openly telling Huaibei's side that he attacked north with such a big fanfare? How could Jiang Feng be so stupid?!"

"But the army can't hide the eyes of people after all." The Dushi man added, but then said: "But Jiang Feng cannot be that simple, he must have surrendered."

"Well, Jiang Feng has always liked to send out surprise soldiers. The strange and righteous are in harmony. These 20,000 people are just right, but where will the surprise soldiers be?" The eyes of the military officer Xu also wandered on the map, and then suddenly asked: "Has Huaiyou ever recruited your Shangshang?"

It was obviously Shang Yunxi's confidant. After hesitating for a while, he nodded and said, "I did come to Huaiyou a few days ago and have contacted Shangshuai several times, but Shangshuai has never expressed his opinion. Later, the people from Huaiyou have never come again."

"Have you ever contacted the commanders, deputy envoys of the army under your command of Shangshang, or even battalion commanders?" The words of Xu's army were quite heartbroken, but they directly pointed to the key points of the troops in Huaibei.

Huaibei has been in poor condition in recent years, and the situation of each army and unit is in a difficult situation. If Huaiyou uses the buying technique and is likely to be profitable, it is hard to say whether there are any tempted people. Once they turn back at a critical moment, it will be really fatal.

He came to hesitate, and this question was difficult to answer, but before he came, Shang Shuai specifically reminded him to answer the questions on Daliang as objectively and truly as possible. However, this question was indeed too sensitive and he did not know it.

"This..." Hesitated for a moment, and then said with some uncertainty: "My general is still relatively prepared for this, but because the troops were stationed in Xiaoxian and Pengcheng before, the general may not be able to know it."

"I would probably not know the situation of other troops, whether I am in contact or even bribery from Huaiyou, right?" The military officer named Xu shook his head and said.

"But this is really not clear." This question is really not something he can know. It is already valuable to know the situation in his army.

After asking a few more questions, the honest man sent him away in the future, and there were only three people left in the flower hall.

Sima, surnamed Xiao, had been on the map and didn't ask any questions. He was not until the envoy left. Sima, surnamed Xiao, said in a deep voice: "Shang Yunxi wants us to send troops to intervene in Xuzhou?"

"That's probably what it means. The letter is full of scattered words, saying that it is willing to be a front pawn and a front driver of Daliang, and present Xuzhou to Daliang." The Dushi man handed the letter to Sima, surnamed Xiao.

Sima, surnamed Xiao, looked briefly, handed it to the army of Xu, and shook his head: "This is to take the chestnut from the fire. The wise man will not do it. We do not have the power to intervene in the war in Xuzhou."

"But if Jiang Feng got Xuzhou, it would probably not be in Daliang's interests?" The dumb man said insincerely.

"Hmph, it's not in the interests of Daliang? Then the Zhengshitang and Chongzhengyuan should decide, not our Tianxing Right Army. Shang Yunxi is smart and knows that if he sends a letter to Bianjing, he is afraid that the Chongzhengyuan has not made a decision yet, and Xuzhou will have changed its flags here long ago." Sima, surnamed Xiao, looked disdainful, "It's because of a good idea."

A honest man also finds it difficult.

His Sima obviously did not support sending troops, but in fact he also knew that sending troops was very troublesome.

How many benefits can it be for being involved in the Xuzhou war?

Unless the Chongzheng Yuan decides to send troops, the more than 20,000 troops of the Tianxing Right Army can be mobilized immediately to ensure military supplies, that is, 10,000 troops.

But he could not release all of these 10,000 people, and it would be troublesome if there was a little trouble in Songzhou.

In other words, the commander and commander of Tianxing Right Army, who can take action to control the two armies is just 5,000 people.

The key is how to explain to the Zhengshi Hall and the Chong Zhengyuan if you send troops without the consent of the Chong Zhengyuan? This responsibility is neither big nor small.

If you don’t get any benefits in the end, sending troops may become a serious crime, and you may not be able to sit steadily as the commander of your wing army.

But why not send troops?

Do you really let Huaiyou take Xuzhou?

Thinking about Huaiyou taking Xuzhou, it makes people feel unacceptable.

The essence of Huaibei, known as one of the nine states in the world, was taken over by Jiang Feng, a servant who ran to Bianjing to fight Qiufeng three years ago. This contrast is really too great.

His eyes fell on the Xu army, and the honest man pondered: "Junluo, what do you think?"

"It's really not easy to deal with." The military officer of Xu sighed, "We can produce at most 5,000 soldiers and horses, and we have to take huge risks. The people of Zhengshitang and Chongzhengyuan all need to pay back their interests. What can we get when we send troops to Xuzhou? Xiaoxian or Pengcheng? I'm afraid we don't believe that five,000 soldiers can capture Pengcheng, at most it's Xiaoxian, but a Xiaoxian will make us bear endless risks."

"Junluo, what do you mean is not to send troops?" The Dunshi man was a little shaken, his eyes circling on the faces of the two, "But if Jiang Feng takes Xuzhou, we..."

Sima, surnamed Xiao, was also thinking, "Sir, I don't seem to have to send too many soldiers to the Shangyunxi, but I care more about us having to do this."

"Oh?" The dumb man suddenly felt energetic.

"Shang Yunxi's letter did not require us to send troops, but he asked us to put on a clear attitude. I think he hoped that we would support him when he replaced him and Feng entered Xuzhou. In fact, he knew very well that we could not send many troops to support him, so he had this attitude."

Sima, surnamed Xiao, rubbed his jaw, as if he was carefully writing, "We sent troops to help him defend Xiaoxian. This is equivalent to letting go of Shang Yunxi's hands and feet. He can calmly advance to Xuzhou, or face the Huai Youjun to the south. If Shang Yunxi can defeat the Huai Youjun, then we can not only let him give Xiaoxian as a reward, but also let him take out a sum of money as a reward, and we can also get a new master of Xuzhou who is dependent on us, which is a killing two birds with one stone."

"What if Shang Yunxi is defeated?" the Dushi man asked immediately.

"It's nothing if you lose. If you lose, we can accept Shang Yunxi and take the opportunity to enter Xuzhou directly..."

"But we only have 5,000 people..." The Dunshi man frowned and interrupted the other party, but was immediately interrupted by the other party and followed up: "So what? Could it be that Huaiyou dared to directly conflict with us? In this case, Jiang Feng could not do this! We can just make a good deal on Jiang Feng. Didn't he make a fortune by selling grain in Huainan? Well, if you want Xuzhou, you should pay some redemption expenses?"

"Okay!" The Dunshi man and the Xu family joined the army couldn't help but applaud. This was a good idea. Huaiyou would never conflict with Daliang at this time. As long as he stepped into Xuzhou, one city and one land, Huaiyou would have to pay money to redeem it if he wanted to take it back in the future. If Tianxing Youjun can enter Pengcheng, it would be even better. Not to mention the attitudes of Chongzhengyuan and Zhengshitang. Even if he really didn't want it, if Jiang Feng wanted to take it back, he would not have millions of dollars, so don't even think about it!

Even before handing it over to Huaiyou, Tianxing Right Army could scrape three feet to the ground in Pengcheng, the gathering place of Huaiyou essence, and get enough.

Thinking of this, the dumb man couldn't help but be flirting with grace, praised the other party hard, and then said: "Then we can think about it carefully. Xiaoxian, Pengcheng, or Fengxian, Fuli, can we all consider it?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. Fengxian is controlled by Lu Qiming, and Fuli is too far away. If I expected it, with Jiang Feng's treacherousness, I'm afraid that our army has not stepped into Fuli yet, Fuli City has been captured by Huaiyou. Yao Chengtai is arrogant and most of the time he will fall into Jiang Feng's hands!" Sima, surnamed Xiao, guessed very accurately.

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

After receiving Fu Li's loss, Shi Feng and Shang Yunxi were really anxious.

If the Huaiyou Army went north before, both of them were just a little nervous, but now they really feel that the blade is coming.

Qi County was lost, and Fu Li was still the heroic city to defend, but unexpectedly, the Huai Youjun actually used a move to hide the world and attack the west.

Before the Huaiyou Army arrived in Qi County, it took Tongqiao and Fu Li first, which almost cut off the retreat of Yao Chengtai's tribe in Qi County. If there was no timely assistance, I was afraid that Yao Chengtai's tribe would not be able to hold on for ten days.

The movements of Xiaoxian and Pengcheng quickly became faster. Shi Feng's four army 10,000 troops, and Shang Yunxi also received the promise of the Tianxing Right Army of Daliang in Songzhou, and quickly mobilized 15,000 troops to pounce on Fu Li along the line of Dinggong Mountain.

However, Shang Yunxi did not touch the 5,000 troops of his two armies in Pengcheng. This was his backup plan. In this case, there were only 10,000 troops in Pengcheng, and he and Shi Feng were in half.
