Section 305 Tripartite

Shannan soldiers wearing tangy clothes crossed Neixiang like locusts to Jutan, and rushed to Xincheng and even Rang County. Neither Shatuo people nor Xiangyang soldiers who had arrived in Rang County ignored them.

At this time, no one would easily make enemies, especially since the Yuan family was destroyed. Except for the Yancheng in the north and Xiping in the northwest of Caizhou, the ten counties in Caizhou, including the prefecture Ruyang, all of them fell into the hands of the Song army.

The Song army strangely did not launch an attack on Xiping and Yancheng. I wonder if this was because the Hedong infantry of the Jin army entered Yancheng and Xiping and officially took over the two counties.

It is said that Yuan Huaihe has arrived in Liang County and visited King Li Cunhou of Jin. He has continuously transported all the goods from Nanyang to the north. Li Cunhou is currently staying here.

The entire Central Plains situation was unprecedentedly chaotic. The Yuan family had already finished. No matter where the remaining troops were, it could not change the demerit of becoming a vassal. Neither Jin nor Song would trust this slave of the three surnames.

Perhaps Jin State is subject to many factors tolerating its preservation under its own leadership, but it will never allow it to become bigger, let alone allow its independent portal.

With two counties and even the Jin army stationed, the Yuan army naturally became a supporter. Unfortunately, the Song army stopped and refused to take a step north. This disappointed the Yuan family, and the entire confrontation between the Song and Jin was quietly forming.

The only one who takes advantage of it is a group of small vassals.

Yang Gongyan led a large army out of Wuguan and occupied Neixiang, Jutan and Xincheng, west of Junzhou and Nanyang Prefecture in one breath.

The Xiao family controlled Suizhou and finally withdrew from Rang County under the oppression of the Shannan Army. In this way, the power of the Shannan Army extended to Xinye and approached the front line of Bizhou.

With the destruction of Yuan’s army, Bizhou, which was once captured by Yuan’s army, became a vacuum.

The Shatuo people only controlled Nanyang and the two passages leading to Nanyang, namely the Xiangcheng Luyang Pass to the west and Fangcheng Fangcheng Pass to the east, and then ignored them. Huyang, Ciqiu, Shangma, Ping family and even the provincial biyang were too lazy to send a soldier.

Liu Xuan may also be worried that he would be too close to the Shatuo people and did not occupy these counties, but just controlled Tongbai County, located in the southeast corner.

The Shannan Army has extended its power to Xinye, which is separated from Huyang. It is probably because it is worried that the front line is too long and is prone to being cut in half, so it is unwilling to take a step forward and stop in Nanyang Prefecture.

"Unless we give up Nanyang Fucheng, Xiangcheng and Fangcheng counties, Yang Wenchang will not agree to continue moving eastward. This old fox is also worried that it will go too deep. Once we turn against each other, he will be caught in a jar." Liu Zhiyuan and Guo Chongtao stood behind Li Cunhou and said helplessly.

"Well, this guy is showing kindness to us on the surface, but in fact he is demonstrating to us. Look, Jiang Feng waved to me and invited him to attack you. I didn't accept it because you gave me some counties in Nanyang to me. Haha, this guy really thinks he has become a hot commodity." Guo Chongtao was also a little angry, "I wouldn't have let him come to me if I had known it."

"I can't stop this, Mr. Guo, this guy is ambitious and hooked up with Dangxiang people and Ganzhou Uighurs, and made a mess of Guanzhong. This is what he is best at, and he is profitable from chaos." Liu Zhiyuan's face was slightly dark. "This guy is bold and reckless. He dares to place bets on either side, dares to join forces. He doesn't talk about any kind of love, and can turn around and turn around. It is said that Caizhou has two sides, and Yang Wenchang is not inferior to him."

"Yuan Huaihe is like this, what can you do?" Guo Chongtao has always advocated that he should support the Yuan family to avoid the Yuan family being completely defeated by Xuzhou. He could not resist the opposition of others, especially the Hu generals, and could only watch the Yuan army being defeated by Xuzhou army.

At present, Yuan Huaihe led the remnants of his troops to flee to Yancheng in a panic. At this time, everyone felt a huge threat from Jiang Feng's troops who had already become king. They hurriedly provided protection for Yuan Huaihe, which made both sides tense.

A group of short-sighted Hu nobles were worried that they would be dissatisfied with the Song army, so they put Yang Wenchang in again. Now the Song army is in Yancheng and the Xiping line is still unable to move forward. These Hu chiefs regretted putting Yang Wenchang, the wolf, into Nanyang.

You should know if Nanyang is handed over to the Xiao family in Xiangyang, at least how much gold, silver and jewelry can be exchanged from the Xiao family. Now, Yang Wenchang not only does not mention any gratitude when he comes in, but instead uses the invitation from the Song army to threaten Dajin with the invitation from him, which is simply a way to attract the wolf into the house.

Li Cunhou also regretted being a little hesitant before. Unexpectedly, Yang Wenchang was so heartless and turned his back on his face and refused to recognize others. However, the other party has now controlled the Neixiang, Jutan, Xincheng, and Rangxian, and even threatened Xiangcheng, so Dajin had to consider what to do next.

As for inviting the other party to attack the Song army, it seems unreliable at all. The other party might have to join forces with the Song army to attack him on this side. Thinking of this, Li Cunhou was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he had no reason. How could he meet such a ungrateful wolf?

But this ambitious white-eyed wolf certainly threatens Dajin, but it also threatens State Song. If Li Cunhou doesn't believe that if he really handed over Nanyang to Yang Wenchang, he will not be interested in Bizhou?

Once Bizhou was occupied, Caizhou in the east would be directly under its fangs and tiger mouth. He didn't believe that Yang Wenchang didn't want to wait for an opportunity to take a bite.

Especially when Caizhou itself was taken from Yuan's hand and was still uneasy inside, if he created a chance for him, he would not believe him and would not be moved!

Li Cunhou was also very upset during his stay in Nanyang. The epidemic caused by the climate and the local environment was even more heartbreaking than the war. Once he got sick, it was almost everywhere, especially in the hot summer. If he was not careful, he would be caught, and there was almost no special solution. This is also the main reason why the Hu generals strongly demanded to return to the north. Perhaps the better ones were the Hedong Han soldiers.

But if Li Cunhou had to keep Hedong Han soldiers in Nanyang with confidence, he was a little worried. Once these Han soldiers gained a foothold, it would be hard to say whether they could follow him wholeheartedly.

Of course, Li Cunhou naturally would not speak to others for this little bit of indifferent thoughts.

"The intention is decided. We will evacuate Nanyang before October, but we must take control of Lushan Pass and Fangcheng Pass. Guo Gong, then, the son may have to be stationed in the line of Luyang and Ye County." After making up his mind, Li Cunhou no longer hesitated.

"King, do you really want to give up Nanyang?" Guo Chongtao was also indescribable. It was a pity that such a domineering land was so hard that it was lost. It was really regrettable.

"If we don't give up, we will be dragged here. And if Yang Wenchang doesn't make his appetite wider, how can he be willing to bite people?" A cold feeling flashed across Li Cunhou's mouth, "We can't sit idly by and watch Yang Wenchang point fingers at him. We can also use them. What Yang Wenchang gave them, I, Li Cunhou, can also give them more. I don't believe that these guys who are hungry in the bitter and cold place outside the border have eaten fat meat and are willing to go back to eat grass!"

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

As October begins, wars in various places finally come to an end.

Countless romantic flows were always blown away by the rain and wind. With the fall of the Yuan clan of Caizhou, the Yang clan from Shannan began to step into the Central Plains again. As the Shannan army advanced eastward, the subordinate Tubo army, Dangxiang army, and Uighur army came with the Shannan army, which made the Nanyang Basin chaos.

The situation of confrontation between the two strong men is forming in the Central Plains, but a wedge-shaped mountain army is inserted into the south army.

This was expected by both Jin and Song, but the effect of the Shannan Army coming in was unexpected.

It is precisely because of Yang Wenchang's appearance that Li Cunhou and Jiang Feng are a little afraid. This guy may bare his fangs when you would never expect it.

However, the effect it brought was objectively what the State of Song was willing to see, or it was what the Jin Dynasty wanted.

In short, as soon as this wedge comes in, the situation that was originally tense is about to break out has stabilized. When it is uncertain whether Yang Wenchang will be bribed by the other party and stab him in the back, no one will act rashly.

This is particularly beneficial to Jiang Feng.

There were too many things in front of Jiang Feng. The wedding in November was sorted out in Xuanwu Town, and the war in Heshuo also entered a stage of full outbreak. Even though he knew that the Wei Bo army and the Tuyuhun people joined, it would be difficult for Zhang Chujin to resist, but when he thought of the movements of the Khitans further north, Jiang Feng could not let go.

I always hope to breathe a sigh of relief, stabilize the situation, free up my hands, and accumulate more supplies, but I always have one link after another, so I don’t want to relax for a while.

Fortunately, Cui Shang's suggestion to introduce the Shannan Army was a clever trick, and it did have a miraculous effect. It successfully curbed the abnormal movements of the Jin army. Of course, this may be only temporary. Even once the Shannan Army and the Jin army join forces, the harm will be greater. However, for the Song Dynasty, it was a rare opportunity to breathe.

Even in one month, it is particularly rare for the Song Dynasty.

In this month, Jiang Feng successfully stabilized Caizhou and supported the Xiangyang army to enter Bizhou from Suizhou. However, the Xiao family was indeed a little too brave. They only occupied the two counties of Huyang and Ping, which were close to Suizhou, and even did not dare to enter.

This made Jiang Feng speechless, so he simply let the newly formed Xuanwu Army enter and control the two counties of Biyang and Ciqiu as the western barrier of Caizhou. He invited the Shannan Army, which had already controlled the entire Nanyang Prefecture, to march Shangma and Fangcheng, forming a situation where the three parties occupied Bizhou together.

The purpose of Jiang Feng's voluntary invitation to the Shannan Army into Bizhou was very simple to sow a seed in the hearts of Shatu people, so that the other party would never be able to trust the Shannan Army.
