Wanqiu.

The hometown of Chen State has always been a city and a prosperous place in the heart of the Central Plains.

The elegant courtyard was very cautious. The old man stroked the long beard under his jaw, and his rosy face showed a look of satisfaction. He had a vermilion brocade robe, jade belt wrapped around his waist, and the ring on his right finger was yellow and simple, which looked extraordinary at first glance.

"Duke of the State, below Chenzhou, but we only have one army stationed on Taikang for the time being, mainly because we are worried about stimulating Daliang, and also because the Jin army thinks we have any ideas." He Jun smiled slightly and bowed slightly, "But if the Jin army really broke through the front line of Guancheng, I think I wouldn't care much."

"Well, the front line of Guancheng is really broken, can Daliang survive?" Yuan Huaihe stroked his long beard and shook his head. "There is no need to be taboo anymore. Ziyi, let them enter Taikang. We don't want to enter Bianzhou and tear the Shatuo people, but we are determined to win Songzhou!"

"Well, brother is right. We don't need to be too taboos. Liu Tong occupied Yiyang, Luhun, and Yique. Didn't Shatuo people bear it? Nanyang was even more arrogant and sued Yingyang, Dengfeng and Chengdu again. I didn't see any actions against Nanyang?" Yuan Huaifang continued, "The Shatuo people are still a group of soft and afraid of evil guys. Who is extremely vicious, they are afraid."

"It's not entirely true. The Shatuo people don't want to make another wave before taking down Daliang, the number one enemy. If Bianzhou really falls into the hands of the Shatuo people, look at it again. Nanyang dares to grin, and Li Cunhou will definitely not show mercy." Yuan Huaiqing disagreed.

"I have to say that the Shatu people's attacking power is stronger than we imagined. It turns out that we always thought that they were just cavalrymen, but we didn't expect that they would be not weak to attack cities and villages." Yuan Huaide also frowned, "Luoyang will not talk about it anymore, there is an inner support, but Yanshi and Gongxian were captured by the Shatu people in just one day, which was unexpected."

"Although Shatuo people are Hu people, they have long been sinicized. Li Cunhou never even mentioned the surname Zhu Xie. Let's look at the high-ranking officials and nobles under his command. Even if they are cavalry generals, they will always keep tea and silk. How different is it from the Han people? In other words, those who have not yet been sinicized still retain their Hu people's customs."

Yuan Huaifang has been to Hedong many times and has a deep understanding of Shatuo people.

"But they still retained the style of Hu people riding and shooting, and this was not lost, and the combat effectiveness of their cavalry was maintained. There were many Han people in Hedong, so their infantry were basically all Hedong Han people, and there were also many Hu people in the Chinese."

"The Shatuo people are also very different from other Hu people in the north in terms of magic, and are even much stronger than the three towns of Heshuo. In recent years, the Khitans seem to have awakened and actively learn from the Khitans in this regard. It is said that many Heshuo's magic talents have been absorbed by the Khitans, which is a bad sign." He Jun also added.

Yuan Huaihe's face slowly subsided, Daliang was about to die, and perhaps there was no big tree to shelter from the wind and rain, the Yuan family would have to face the iron hooves of Shatuo people directly. Is Yuan ready?

A wise move is to join forces with Nanyang and Xuzhou to fight against the Hu people, but the problem is that Songzhou, the Yuan family will win, and will Xuzhou let it go?

Yuan Huaihe did not think that Jiang Feng would "take the overall situation into consideration". Once the hungry wolf opened his mouth, the biting thing would not be loose. You can tell by looking at his offensive strategy against Pinglu, not to mention the deep hatred that Saburo and Qilang had formed against Xuzhou's attack during this period.

"Huaiqing, do you think Xuzhou will take the lead first and take Songzhou first?" Yuan Huaihe had to make this consideration.

Today, Xuzhou is not the Huaiyou in the past. After annexing Pinglu Town, Jiang Feng's strength expanded rapidly. Even Yuan Huaihe was shocked that Jiang Feng was so bold and attacked Qingzhou.

You should know that Pinglu Town has no less strength than Caizhou in terms of superficial strength, and it is even better. Of course, there are many problems within Pinglu Town, but Yuan Huaihe will never believe who said he could swallow it in one bite.

But Jiang Feng did it, not only swallowed Pinglu Town, but also took it as a big general Wang Shouxin, Liu Yansi, Wang Guoxi, and Zhang Junyue as their own use.

Information from Xuzhou showed that Jiang Feng really handed over the military power of a town to Liu Yansi and Wang Shouxin. He trusted Ruos, and replaced Yuan Huaihe, and he thought he could never do it.

As for Zhu Mao's side, Yuan Huaihe didn't care much.

He always believed that Zhu Mao should have surrendered Jiang Feng long ago. Jiang Feng and Zhu Mao should have joined forces to act in a big drama, traveling to Jeju, and then raiding Qizhou at a critical moment, attracting Wang Shouzhong's attention, and finally being taken advantage of by Jiang Feng.

But generals such as Wang Shouxin and Liu Yansi surrendered to Jiang Feng in a real way. If they were not sure, Jiang Feng would not be able to hand over the army of a town to the other party. Yuan Huaihe couldn't figure out how Jiang Feng could make the other party willingly surrender.

Except for the Pinglu army that lost part of Huaiyou's attack on Qingzhou and Zhu Mao's attack on Qizhou, Jiang Feng almost completely accepted the Pinglu army.

You should know that there are more than 50,000 troops. Now, after this emergency expansion of the entire Caizhou army, there are only 100,000 troops. Jiang Feng took over immediately. Moreover, these Pinglu army are different from the newly expanded Caizhou army, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared. This is what Yuan Huaihe is most worried about.

If Xuzhou is determined to compete with Caizhou for Songzhou, the battle will probably be very fierce, but Caizhou has no way out, so he has to think about how to deal with it first.

"From the information we have obtained at present, Zhu Mao's Tianping Army in Xuzhou has been reorganized the fastest. They have been changing their clothes this month, and their weapons and armor have been replaced on a large scale. We believe that it should be a preparatory preparation for the two prefectures of Cao Pu. Once the beam cannot support it, the Tianping Army will take over the two prefectures of Cao Pu. In fact, the two prefectures of Cao Pu are almost unprepared, and the gentry there should have colluded with Xuzhou for a long time."

"Where is this place in Songzhou?" Yuan Huaihe frowned slightly.

"The Ziqing Army led by Liu Yansi has arrived in Xiaoxian County, but it seems that the reorganization has not been completed yet. Wang Shouxin's Wuning Army is stepping up its advance eastward. It is estimated that it has passed Chengxian at this time and is expected to arrive in Pengcheng within three days." Yuan Huaiqing pondered for a moment, "In Songzhou, we should have contact with local gentry from Xuzhou, and Pang Yuan should also be aware of it, but he has no choice."

"What will happen if we start the attack first?" Yuan Huaihe said in a deep voice.

"The troops on Taikang have not yet been in place. Although the troops on Bozhou, Yongcheng, Qingxian and Qiaoxian also need to be adjusted, they are still neat. If an attack is launched immediately and Gushu is taken down, there is no problem with Xiayi counties. The key is that Pang Yuan has now reduced the forces of Tianxing's left army to Songcheng. If he wants to attack Songcheng, it will be difficult to go down in one go, and not to take down Songcheng, Chuqiu, Shanfu, Yucheng, and Dangshan counties in the north and east, if he wants to launch an attack, he will easily be attacked by Xuzhou troops from the east."

"Can't Xu Junluo think of a way in Songcheng?" Yuan Huaihe became a little irritated. If he could not seize Songzhou in advance and really wanted to fight with Xuzhou to fight for Songzhou with real swords and guns, then this battle would be tricky.

"Pang Yuan seemed a little aware and had a very strict precaution. Xu Junluo did not dare to act rashly, and he could not find a chance for a while." Yuan Huaiqing could understand the head of the family, but this kind of thing could actually be done overnight?

It took a lot of effort to get on Xu Junluo's line, but Xu Junluo was just a military officer, not the main general, and Pang Yuan could not buy it. His whole family was still in Bianliang City.

Yuan Huaihe took a deep breath. It was time to make a decision. He couldn't wait for Pang Yuan's movements and wait any longer. Once Xuzhou succeeded first, it would be too expensive to take Songzhou back from Xuzhou.

Seeing the head of the family clasping his hands tightly and rubbing them constantly, this is a unique move for the head of the family to make a decision in the face of major issues. The other people held their breath. Once they made a decision, they might really start a full-scale war with Xuzhou. This time the war will probably not be the same as before.

"I have decided that we must take down Songzhou. No matter how much the price we pay, I think it is worth it. Ziyi, tonight you will immediately lead troops north to Taikang, and three days to prepare for attack. Huaide, as your deputy, the target is Zhecheng, Xiangyi, Ningling, Zhecheng, Xiangyi, and there is no need to station troops. The local gentry should maintain order and suppress the front line of Songcheng. Huaifang, the same goes for you. When you go back, you will immediately prepare to go north from Yongcheng, control Xiayi, Yucheng and Dangshan, especially Dangshan, but don't go to Chuqiu and Shanfu, which is too close to Xuzhou's army."

Everyone present frowned. This battle was difficult to fight, and the Tianxing Left Army in Songcheng did not solve the problem. There was also the Xuzhou army gathering in the east, which was easily defeated by the opponent.

"In addition, we have arranged people to contact Pang Bo in Bianliang City. He is the head of the Pang family. He should understand the situation and strive to obtain his support. We agree to whatever conditions he wants. We can ask for gold, pearls and jade. As long as we can take it out, the Pang family members are willing to come to Caizhou and welcome them. If they don't want to go to Chang'an, we will escort them all the way to ensure safe delivery!"

Yuan Huaihe's words were also decisive.

If he hesitates at this time, it will be really hard to predict. He also knows that even so, there will be many problems.

The Pang family is a Daliang family, how could it be easily convinced and bribed?

Besides, I am afraid that Xuzhou will also want to get what he wants, so he didn't dare to wait any longer. It would be too late to wait until the Xuzhou army was ready to take its seat.
