"I wonder what the Privy Council judges the war between the Shatuo people and Nanyang?" Shang Yunxi asked cautiously.

"I dare not make a quick assertion now that the Shatuo people may be able to gallop across the Central Plains, but after passing the Huai River, Tongbai Mountain, Funiu Mountain and Fangcheng Mountain, can their cavalry advantages still be reflected? This is worth exploring."

Wang Miao also knew that Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi also wanted to figure out how much time they could have to operate in the future. Half a year and a year, one year and three years, the strategies adopted were very different.

"Also, the real strength of the Nanyang Army is still difficult to judge now. It is said that their magicians are very powerful and have been advancing the synthetic combat between the magician troops and infantry. We have always been curious about this and do not know what Nanyang has made in this regard."

"From the situation of Nanyang conquering Anmian and breaking Shenzhou, it seems that the Nanyang army is still not weak, but judging from the war between them and Caizhou, it seems that there is a feeling of being a false reputation, which is very puzzling."

Shang Yunxi is also a long-time general. When he was influencing the army, he was one of the best in the army, so he was also familiar with the performance of the Nanyang Army in the past.

"Well, this is exactly what we are not able to judge." Wang Miao agreed with Shang Yunxi's view, "But fighting in the mountains, it is estimated that the Nanyang Army should have some advantages, such as the mountain barbarian soldiers they formed, which is said to be very good at fighting in the mountains. If the Shatuo people do not respond seriously, they may suffer."

"If the Shatu people can successfully break through the Luyang Pass line north of the Nanyang Basin and enter the Nanyang Basin, then maybe the two Lius will not escape. If Nanyang wants to withstand the Shatu people, they can only rely on the mountainous hills to fight." Shang Yunxi affirmed his tone, "On the contrary, if the Shatu people want to solve Nanyang, they must also find a way to break through the dangerous mountain obstacles in the Nanyang Basin."

"Everything is possible. We cannot underestimate the wisdom of the Shatu people. They can lay nails inside the beam and cleverly use the problems inside the beam to finally defeat the beam in one fell swoop. This is enough to show that they have already started to make arrangements. I think Nanyang is probably no exception." Wang Miao said cautiously, "There are conflicts between the two Lius. Will the Shatu people use it?"

"At this time, I'm afraid that the two Liu will also give up their past grudges and fight against the enemy together?" Zhu Mi hesitated for a moment, "They should know that this is a battle of life and death that concerns the Liu family. If they can't even work together, how can they expect help from outside?"

"Hmph, but some people are usually very talented, but they are particularly short-sighted at critical moments. However, this doesn't matter much to us. We just need to do our own things."

Wang Miao was not optimistic about Er Liu, and of course he would not object to Liu Xuan marrying his daughter and returning to Guangzhou. Xuzhou is now invincible. Unless the Shatu people join forces with the Khitans to launch a war against Xuzhou, the longer the time is, the more beneficial it is to Xuzhou. As long as the Shatu people fight against Nanyang, it means that Xuzhou can win at least one year.

"For us, as long as the war between Nanyang and Shatu people begins, it means that we will not have to worry about the threats of Shatu people to us for a long time. We can deal with the Khitans wholeheartedly and concentrate on seeking development in Heshuo."

Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi both heard Wang Miao's implicit meaning. Needless to say, dealing with the Khitans, everyone understands that Xuzhou will be the first to be affected by the Khitans when they go south, but the intention of seeking development in Hebei is rich. Could it be that Di, Cang, De, or Henghai Town is not the ultimate goal?

Seeing the two of them looking over, Wang Miao did not hide it: "Chengde Town is currently the worst town among the three towns of Heshuo. Needless to say, the three states of Dicangde are actually unable to control these three states at all. I have been staying in the three states a few days ago. The troops in these three states are in a mess. If our army enters these three states, I believe that we can take over the three states without much effort. The key is our control over these three states in the future. How can we make these three states a bridgehead to resist the Khitans?"

"Passive defense is probably not advisable. Privy Council can give me other ideas?" Zhu Mi continued.

"Well, the Privy Council has some ideas." Wang Miao said calmly: "We have to consider the worst aspect, that is, once the Khitans annex Lulong Town, how should we deal with it? How can we deal with it to the Khitans most proactively?"

"Hutuo Water?!" Zhu Mi thought for a while and frowned.

"Yes, my personal opinion is that we should use Hutuo Water and Zhangshui as defense lines to intercept the Khitan cavalry." Wang Miao knew that Zhu Mi was very familiar with the terrain of Hebei, so he said directly: "Zhangshui is the second line of defense. We should go forward and use Hutuo Water as the first line of defense. Of course, if we can extend westward, we can block the Khitans in Lulong Town."

Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi both heard Wang Miao's intention and smiled knowingly: "Wang Shumi, are you going to take down the entire Chengde Town?"

"If possible, why not?" Wang Miao asked back: "The location of Chengde Town and the states is important, just between Lu Long and Wei Bo. If you take down Chengde Town, you can build a line of defense on the Hebei Plain..."

"This line of defense is not easy to defend. Hutuo Water and Zhang River are barely available, but it stretches too long to the west. Moreover, the Hutuo Water is only a large amount of water during the flood season. During the dry season, the cavalry can easily cross the Hutuo Water, which is difficult to play a hindrance. Once a field battle is formed, the Khitan cavalry can exert its maximum power." Zhu Mi knew the terrain of the Hebei Plain very well and disagreed with this.

"Then we need to control Chengde Town and rely on Fangshan Zhending Jiumen Wuji Shenze Anping Hejian Mo County to block the Khitans. Although the Khitan cavalry is strong, on the one hand, we strengthen the city defense capabilities on this line, I guess you should also know that our Skills and Materials Official Academy has achieved great results in some aspects and has made great breakthroughs in consolidating the city's defense. On this basis, our own cavalry and the Tuyuhun people can also become a great help. I believe that we can compete with the Khitan Iron Cavalry."

"The Tuyuhun people are really planning to join in? Is it reliable?" Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi were both stunned. The Tuyuhun people were also Hu people. Although they were not in harmony with the Khitan, how could the Tuyuhun people easily get involved in such a battle?

"I have asked the prince to marry Princess Mulan from Tuyuhun." Wang Miao said lightly: "At this time, Lord Zhang Huangzhang should be on his way to Wuzhou."

"Ah?" Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi were both happy after being shocked. "This is a great thing. If they can marry the Tuyuhun people, the Tuyuhun people can cause a lot of trouble for the Khitans on the flanks, and even help us launch a fatal blow behind them."

"It's not that simple. The Tuyuhun people cannot hand over the lives of their clan to the prince just because the prince married Princess Mulan, but this can indeed bring us closer together. They will only join if the Tuyuhun people think it is beneficial to them." Wang Miao was confident.

"Then what do we need to do?" Back to the topic, Shang Yunxi had already roughly understood the purpose of Wang Miao's visit this time.

"In the shortest time, take over the three states of DiCangde, and then wait for an opportunity to guide Jizhou, Shenzhou and Guangzhou, and control the Hutuo River line." Wang Miao said in a deep voice: "In Cangzhou, the Privy Council will arrange for Luo Yin and Luo Ye brothers to support you. The Luo family of Dongguang is willing to surrender to the prince. With the support of Luo family, I believe that Guangzhou can be brought over."

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

Penglai, Dengzhou.

Looking far away, Lu Qiming carried his hands on his back, and after a long time he looked back, he turned around and asked, "Do you know what the prince has never used your intention?"

"I really don't know." The man standing next to Lu Qiming's side had a red face, his hands full of cracks and wrinkles were extremely rough, but full of strength.

"Nothing else, you are of great use." Lu Qiming's eyes were like a torch, "The East Sea pirates are rampant in the East Sea. I wonder if the Wuhu Sea is familiar with it?"

The strong man grinned, "My joking is that I am waiting for a cheap life. Where can I ask for food? I will go wherever I want to go. Did you care whether it is the East China Sea or the Bohai Sea? What do you want to ask? Even if you ask, your subordinates will tell you."

"Haha, you are a cheerful person. Well, the Privy Council has an order to order you to prepare for cross-sea battles. Do you have this courage?" Lu Qiming smiled.

"Why did you say this? Someone is eating at sea, and cross-sea combat is also the only way to do it. I wonder where I want me to go?" The strong man was mentally prepared and asked boldly: "Silla, or Japan? No, the situation in Silla is now chaotic. I heard that Goguryeo is conquering Silla, and it seems that Silla is already unable to hold on."

"No, we don't care about that yet. The Privy Council intends to let you land in Pingzhou and Yingzhou areas and harass and fight." Lu Qiming said: "Maybe it done?"

"The prince wants to deal with the Khitans?" The strong man was surprised: "It is difficult for the Khitans to deal with. Now the Xi people and the Muhe people were conquered by the Khitans. Pingzhou and Yingzhou are now the territory of the Muhe people. The Muhe people have now changed their name and are called Jurchens. The Khitans are gradually moving south, and there are more Khitans in Jizhou."

"Is the Marines and the Khitans very harmonious?" Lu Qiming was very interested in these situations.
