Jiang Feng did not know that the Shatuo people in Bianliang City, thousands of miles away, had already reached this level of concern for their concerns and concerns, but what he could be sure of was that Yang Kan's tough response in Kaocheng did have a good effect.

Shi Jingtang's army did not cross the prefecture and entered Caozhou again. Instead, it frequently crossed the border in Xiangyi and Taikang and raided the places. However, the Shatuo Iron Cavalry maintained its restraint very well, but only tried it briefly and did not go deep into the hinterlands of Songzhou and Chenzhou.

Even so, the Yuan army was in a panic and was very worried that the Shatuo people would choose Caizhou as their next target, so that the messengers from Yuan's family came to Xuzhou suddenly became more and more frequent.

Even if the Shatuo people really wanted to choose Xuzhou as their target, Jiang Feng was not afraid. Zhu Mao's Tianping Army and Liu Yansi's Wuning Army were still replenishing one after another. Continuous dressing and replenishing made these two armies the two most powerful armies among the five towns in Xuzhou. The war horses on the Tuyuhun people and the armored weapons produced in Xuzhou are also given priority to ensure the needs of the cavalry of these two armies.

As long as the Shatuo people dared to fight, Jiang Feng would let them know that if they wanted to fight with Xuzhou, they would have to fight with the purpose of fighting that made them feel so heartbroken that they were unwilling to persevere. Xuzhou could afford to waste it, it depends on how patience the Shatuo people were. Jiang Feng even held the determination to throw away half of Caozhou and Songzhou. As long as they persisted in fighting, he firmly believed that the Shatuo people could not waste himself.

But it seems that the Shatu people did not choose this.

The news from the Central Plains states also proved that the Shatuo people's food and supplies could not hold on anymore and were being replenished. It is estimated that it will take at least one month. Moreover, the quiet adjustment of the Shatuo people's army also indicates that Xuzhou may be abandoned by them. All signs show that the elite Shatuo people's troops are gathering on the Western Front, starting to stay on the Weishi, Xingyang, and Yanshi, and many grain and supplies also began to hoard on this front, which means that the risks in Nanyang and Caizhou are increasing.

Of course, Xuzhou was unable to interfere with the strategic shift of the Shatu people. On the contrary, in a sense, the Shatu people really wanted to go south and it was in line with Xuzhou's intention. The further the Shatu people went south, the deeper they would fall in the future, and it would be harder to get out of it in the future. It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it was difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After enjoying the fertility and fertility of the Central Plains, Jiang Feng is really looking forward to how fast the Shatu people will fall into depravity.

Xu Ziqing's cheeks were much thinner. After his injury was healed, he spent three months practicing martial arts in an effort to improve his martial arts strength as soon as possible.

Although martial arts strength is not a fundamental factor in determining the generals of the first army, no matter how much lack of martial arts strength is, it is still not conducive to establishing prestige in the army.

Jiang Feng also provided a lot of help to Xu Ziqing in his elixir and martial arts guidance. He handed over the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer Technique to him, and Jiang Feng also felt somewhat compensated in his heart, so Jiang Feng also gave a lot of advice on the practice of pure qi in the Danyuan Inner Qi of his guidance.

Especially the bear squat technique in the essence of the Five Animals was very helpful for improving Danyuan. In addition, Xu Ziqing's own foundation was not weak, so he quickly climbed his martial arts strength to the fixed-interest period.

Although it is still far from the stage of the Little Heavenly Territory, Xu Ziqing is quite satisfied. After all, it is not realistic to achieve the leap of the Little Heavenly Territory in such a short time.

Like Xu Ziqing, Zhang Ting has been practicing his own martial arts skills during this period.

With the addition of the Pinglu Army, Ziqing Army and Tianping Army in the north, whether it was the Guangxu General who first followed Jiang Feng, or the Daliang General who joined one after another, they had already felt tremendous pressure.

From the Luzhou generals to enter the sequence under Jiang Feng, Chai Yong and Qin Han were all long-time generals who were used to fighting, and their martial arts strength had already surpassed the small heavenly throne. After the battle in Xuzhou, the generals who influenced the army and Taining Army system had many strengths in the Guxi period, and the small heavenly throne was not uncommon. Hong Kui, who were originally just a commander of the Taining Army, actually had the small heavenly throne. Even Hong Kui's deputy, such as Gu Conghu and Hu Biao, were also in the Guxi period, and the least was the Taixi period's strength. It made people have to admit that the generals in the north, just in terms of martial arts strength, would indeed crush the southern vassals.

Not to mention the tough character like Zhu Mao, he has entered the middle stage of Rundan and even had the strength to impact Rundan's late stage, which is even stronger than Jiang Feng.

It should be said that this battle to conquer the two states of Chu and Yang was also a huge challenge for the Huai Right Army. The Wuning Army, together with the entire Huai Right Army and the Southern Navy, were the main force in the attack on the two states of Chu and Yang this time.

The Huai You Army is now inequality with the Huai You Army in the past. A considerable number of the elite troops of the old Huai You Army were added to the Wuning Army. The Ziqing Army greatly improved the infantry strength of the Wuning Army and the Ziqing Army, but the strength of the Huai You Army was weakened.

Although the Central Secret Academy has also consciously replenished its troops for the Huai You Army and enriched its military academy students during this period, this kind of strength development will not be a qualitative leap in the short term. Xu Ziqing and Zhang Ting both hope that this new Huai You Army can be tempered and improved through such a war.

Up to now, the forces of the Huai You Army have been replenished to twelve armies, of which there are only two cavalry armies, and the other ten armies are infantry armies. There are only two armies that can be called the Lao Huai You Army. The other eight armies have basically drawn some old soldiers and officers from the two Lao Huai You Army, plus some students who graduated from the military training school to form a skeleton and formed a supplementary formation from the garrison army or reserve soldiers.

"How are you preparing?" Xu Ziqing wiped the Luohan knife in his hand calmly, then pressed it back into the scabbard and raised his eyes.

"It's almost done." Zhang Ting lifted his nine-layer shield and ring-headed sword and moved his body. "The military capital of each army has been replenished and his morale is also very high. Now it depends on the progress of the Wuning Army."

Since the Wuning Army needed to come south from Xuzhou and the military supplies and supplies needed to be prepared, the preparation time for the Huai You Army was quite abundant, but even so, Xu Ziqing and Zhang Ting did not dare to ignore it.

This battle was to launch an attack on Chuzhou and Yangzhou at the same time. The Huaiyou Army, Wuning Army and the southern navy cooperated, so the time requirement was very high. The attack must be in place in the shortest time, and the Chuzhou City and Yangzhou City must be completely captured in the shortest time, so as to avoid the Wu army in Runchang and the two states getting rid of the restraint of the ant thieves and the Yue army and returning north, and forming a tug-of-war.

"We can make it appropriately in advance. As long as Mei Shumi is ready to stop, we can set out first. The battle in Yangzhou is a big test for us. Even if the main force of the Wu army has crossed the river south, Yangzhou is the foundation of the Wu Kingdom after all. If the thousands of troops they left behind are not so easy to win." Xu Ziqing took a deep breath, "Our Huaiyou Army is still too immature. I just hope they can grow up from this battle."

Zhang Ting also knew that the strength of this army was probably the weakest among the five towns. Fortunately, the Wu army in Yangzhou currently has the least number of troops. The information obtained by Wuwentang showed that the East Navy stationed in Yangzhou had only two armies, and the other army's garrison army, that is, there are only 7,000 troops in Yangzhou City. However, Yangzhou has always been known as salt merchants, silk merchants, and maritime merchants. Almost every family of these merchants has a large number of private soldiers. Once mobilized, it is also a force that cannot be underestimated. This is not unpredictable.

"I wonder how the thieves in Baima Lake and Fanliang Lake are prepared?" Xu Ziqing sighed, "These guys who are celebrating Qin Muchu still have some eyesight. They see that the ant thieves have no future and come to vote for us. However, if they don't hand over a beautiful letter of vote, it will be difficult for the prince to accept them."

"Don't worry, these thieves know that this is their only chance. Since they did not follow the ant thief to Jiangnan and stay in Jiangbei, then they are very clear. Who can give them a last chance and not grasp it well, then they can only wait for the fate of being wiped out. If they lose this opportunity, they will be worthless." Zhang Ting laughed, "Didn't you see these two thieves taking the initiative to send their sons to Tian Chunlai and Kou Wenli? This is to be a proton to prove his loyalty."

While the two were chatting and laughing, a personal guard sent a letter.

Xu Ziqing glanced slightly and his face became calm, "Wu Ning army has arrived in Huaiyin. After three days of rest, we will prepare to cross the Huai River. We will start to set out tomorrow. It is estimated that Kou Wenli's naval army will also start to go east at this time."

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

The sails of dozens of large ships were already particularly spectacular on the huge river surface. Kou Wenli stood at the bow of the boat and stared in front of him. Jiang Feng, who was rushing towards him, blew his clothes and made a sound.

The boat in front of him has slowly disappeared into his eyes, and he has to use a thousand-mile mirror to see clearly.

Kou Wenli knew that this battle would not be missed, but the power of the Wu navy should not be underestimated.

If there were no accidents, the bandits in Fanliang Lake and Baima Lake should have already begun to siege Gaoyou City at this time. Yangzhou, whose troops were drained, would have to reinforce Gaoyou. Otherwise, if Gaoyou was captured and cut off by the water thieves, the canal artery would be blocked.

Yangzhou will not tolerate Gao You's loss. The troops in Shanyang are already quite weak, so they can only draw from the Yangzhou naval army to the north. After all, the regular army of the Wu naval army should still have confidence in the fight against the bandits of Fanlianghu and Baimahu, but they didn't know what would be waiting for them.
