Gao Pian thought, "Will Wang Jian choose the latter policy?"

Wang Zaifeng chuckled and was full of confidence: "Why didn't he choose this? For Wang Jian, which strategy to choose depends on the strength of the opponent he is facing."

"Although Guanzhong is not a place for four battles, it is still attacked by enemies on several sides. The Uighurs in Hexi and Tubo in the west often cross the border and robbed everywhere. The Khitan in the north may invade south at any time, threatening Hebei. In addition, in terms of the strength of money and food, Guanzhong cannot be compared with the Jianghuai."

"And Your Highness has a large land of Jianghuai, and naturally has half of the country. There is no need to worry about being attacked several times, and it has a wide depth and enough room for maneuver."

"Li Maozhen fought for the Central Plains, and Wang Jian attacked from Shu, but it was extremely convenient to attack Li Maozhen's vest."

"In this case, why didn't Wang Jian choose Li Maozhen as his opponent?"

Speaking of this, Wang Zaifeng laughed again, "And for Wang Jian, if he could defeat Li Maozhen and capture Guanzhong, he would have a strategic advantage in terms of Hebei and Central Plains, and then attack Jiangnan, which would be more strategically better than attacking the Central Plains from Jiangnan."

After hearing Wang Zaifeng's remarks, Gao Pian couldn't help but stroking his hands and praised: "Sir, great advice!"

Jingxiang talks about Jingzhou and Xiangyang, and now it is neither in Wang Jian nor in Gao Pian's hands. There are more than ten small princes in the world, and another small prince is occupied by Jingxiang.

Wang Zaifeng said leisurely: "Once we unite with Wang Jian, the soldiers and horses in Shu can drag Li Maozhen's energy to Hanzhong. What else can he use to compete with us for the Central Plains? At that time, your highness will take over the seven towns of the Central Plains and the land under King An, which is as simple as taking out a bag!"

These words made Gao Pian excited, feeling that it was even more enjoyable than drinking a jar of fine wine, and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, he stood up and waved his sleeves, and was full of energy: "Without King An in the world, who can still stop me Gao Pian?! This great country and country will eventually fall into my hands!"

......

Two hours later, Gao Pian, Li Maozhen and Wang Jian gathered together to discuss how to divide the seven towns in the Central Plains.

Gao Pian first proposed the territory of the two towns he asked for: the territory of the Xuzhou Wuning Jiedushi and the Xuzhou Zhongwu Jiedushi.

These two towns are adjacent to the Huaihe River. As long as they get them, the soldiers and horses in Huainan will not have to worry about entering the Central Plains. They are blocked by the Central Plains forces on the southern bank of Huainan.

Li Maozhen naturally wanted to have the territory of the Heyang Army in Zhengzhou and Xuanwu Army in Bianzhou. With these two towns, his troops could leave Tongguan and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains. It could also echo the Hezhong Army north of the Yellow River to attack the towns in Hebei and seize Li Ye's territory.

The only things left for Wang Jian were the three towns of Luoyang Dongdu Defence Envoy, the Yicheng Jiedushi of Huazhou, and the Gunhai Jiedushi of Gunzhou. These three towns were divided and each was on one side. No matter how Wang Jian chose, they could not be connected.

Of course, Wang Jian was unhappy.

So Wang Jian was the first to raise an objection: "I want the two towns of Dongdu and Xuzhou!"

In this way, it was very convenient for his troops to go out from the east of Hanzhong or to head north after capturing Jingxiang.

Gao Pian was naturally the first to raise objections, and Xuzhou was the territory he liked.

At the end of the debate, Gao Pian said: "The King of Shu wants Xuzhou, but the King of Gu is not unwilling to give it to him. As long as King Qi gives Bianzhou to the King of Gu, it's fine."

Wang Jian looked at Li Maozhen.

Li Maozhen snorted coldly at Gao Pian: "If you can get Xu and Bian Town, wouldn't you divide the Central Plains into two pieces, and you can choose to attack Pinglu or Tongguan with ease, and also take Gunzhou in your arms?"

Gao Pian said lightly: "If King Gu can abandon Xuzhou, King Qi cannot give up Bianzhou? If King Qi is so strong and refuses to give in, how can I discuss this matter?"

Li Maozhen was furious: "Nonsense! Is this king unyielding? If I give in, the entire Central Plains will belong to you!"

Wang Jian wanted to get Xuzhou, but he was unhappy when he heard this, so he quickly helped Gao Pian: "Why did he give up the entire Central Plains? King Qi could still take Huazhou if he didn't take Bianzhou!"

Li Maozhen immediately glared at Wang Jian: "Huazhou is in the northeast of Bianzhou. Do you want my two towns to be separated by Gao Pian?!"

Wang Jian knew that he was in the wrong, but of course he could not be weak at this time. He said, "So what? King Qi at least has Heyang, Zhengzhou. His troops can freely leave the pass and enter the Central Plains. Even if I can have Dongdu and Xuzhou, these two places are not connected with Shuzhong!"

"Wang Jian, you are a bastard!" Li Maozhen slapped the table suddenly, "You guy wants to harm me, that guy Gao Pian is so cheap?"

Li Maozhen must not be angry.

Although he and Wang Jian were fighting for Hanzhong, they were just secretly sending scouts and interacting with Hanzhong Jiedushi, but they had not yet been exposed. In addition, the two had a close relationship and were considered brothers and sisters. At this time, Wang Jian helped Gao Pian to speak, and he was emotionally unacceptable.

"How come this is cheap? The King of Wu is willing to give up Xuzhou, why can't King Qi consider everyone?" Wang Jian, who usually looks kind and honest, was extremely righteous and did not give in at this moment.

In fact, Wang Jian was very clear about the fact that if you divide the seven towns in the Central Plains, you can do whatever you want, but you can't get it.

Only by suppressing Li Maozhen can he successfully occupy Hanzhong and seek more things.

To take a step back, the one who can threaten him now is Li Maozhen. After all, Gao Pian had to attack Shuzhong, so he could only come in from the Yangtze River. Once he locked the Yangtze River, the other party would have no choice but to do anything to him. Moreover, Wang Jian and Gao Pian are still separated by Jingxiang, and there is no direct conflict of interests. Unlike Li Maozhen, who always wanted to occupy Hanzhong and advance to Shuzhong.

Li Maozhen was so angry that his heart was fluctuating and he wanted to swallow the other party in one bite.

However, he was not a good person, so he quickly calmed down and secretly sent a message to Wang Jian.

They were once comrades-in-law, brothers and sisters on the battlefield, and had agreed secret methods of voice transmission that could not be noticed by others.

Li Maozhen said: "What do you do if you keep squeezing me? What you should deal with is Gao Pian! If Gao Pian wants to advance to the Central Plains, I will definitely stop him. At that time, we will fight in the Central Plains, and Huainan is empty, so he will be unable to compete with you. You can go out along the east of the Yangtze River and occupy Jingxiang?"

"As long as you occupy Jingxiang, your territory can connect Luoyang and Xuzhou. At that time, whether you go north to the Central Plains or enter the Yangtze River, it will be easy? On the contrary, if I am destroyed by Gao Pian, let him occupy the Central Plains and conquer Guanzhong, you will be able to attack you several times. What will you do to compete with him?"

Hearing Li Maozhen's words, Wang Jian's heart moved and fell into a brief pondering.

What Li Maozhen said is indeed correct.

Wang Jian was slightly moved.

His expression changed and he could not escape the eyes of Gao Pian and Wang Zaifeng.

Gao Pian said intimately that the two birds were sending voices in secret.

Time was tight, so Gao Pian had no time to think about it, and hurriedly said, "When the Gu Wang thought carefully, most of the King of Shu's troops were in the two rivers, and it was inconvenient to communicate with the Central Plains, so more vassal states should be divided into. Aren't there seven towns in the Central Plains? Now that King An is no longer in the mortal world, the vassal state that he originally wanted to give him naturally, so why not give it to the King of Shu?"

As soon as he said that, Gao Pian himself thought this was really insightful.

He looked at Wang Jian's guidance: "In this way, the King of Shu has three towns in the Central Plains and is stronger, so there is no need to worry about being coveted by people with ulterior motives. Once there is any situation, it will be enough to support the troops in Shu to help - even with these three towns, it will be enough to allow the King of Shu to expand his territory!"

As soon as this statement was made, Li Maozhen and Wang Jian were both shocked, and the latter was immediately overjoyed.

Wang Jian looked at Wang Jian with a hopeful look and blurted out: "What the King of Wu said is serious?"

Gao Pian stroked his beard, smiled calmly and generously: "A gentleman's words are as good as a horse. What the Lone King said is for the sake of everyone's interests, of course it is true."

Wang Jian couldn't help but rub his hands constantly, and his thoughts were already alive.

Seeing Wang Jian like this, Li Maozhen knew that something was wrong and quickly sent a message to him, asking him not to be sowed by Gao Pian.

Unfortunately, Wang Jian did not respond to Li Maozhen. Now he has begun to make intensive plans.

If he could obtain the three towns of the Central Plains, there would be about 300,000 troops, which would be much weaker than his current soldiers and horses in Shuzhong. At that time, the three towns would attack Hanzhong in the east and attack Hanzhong in the west. He would send troops from Shuzhong and attack Hanzhong from the west, and attack Hanzhong from the west, and attack on both sides. Then Hanzhong would be at his fingertips?

Even if Li Maozhen comes to support, Wang Jian is not afraid.

Because his troops in the Central Plains were able to threaten the vicinity of Tongguan in advance, attract Li Maozhen's attention and distract the other party's energy!

Once he gets Hanzhong, his territory - Shuzhong, Guanzhong, and Central Plains are connected together, and he has to make several sides to advance to Guanzhong, wouldn’t it be easy?

Even if Li Maozhen was defeated by Gao Pian in the Central Plains, it would take time. When Gao Pian enters Guanzhong, Wang Jian can still enter Guanzhong. At that time, he and Gao Pian will rely on their own abilities. It is not certain who will fall into Guanzhong!

Moreover, Huainan is far from Guanzhong, which is not as close as Shuzhong to Guanzhong. At that time, Gao Pian's military and horse front line was too long, and the supply was inconvenient, and the soldiers were tired. Where was his opponent?

By the time he seized the reign of the Central Committee, he could send troops to the Central Plains, capture Pinglu and the north, and then cooperate with the troops coming out of the river, and advance to Huainan in two directions to make a great contribution to the world!

With such a blueprint in my heart, how could Wang Jian listen to what Li Maozhen said?

Wang Jian was not blinded by the outlook in his heart, and asked Gao Pian cautiously: "If I want Luoyang, Xuzhou, Bianzhou and other towns, the King of Wu will agree?"

Gao Pian saw that Wang Jian was about to make up his mind and turned to his side, so he could not strike while the iron was hot, so he said: "The Gu King only needs two towns in Xuzhou and Gunzhou, and the other five towns are allowed to be divided by King Shu and King Qi."

Xuzhou and Gunzhou are both in the eastern part of the Central Plains, adjacent to the East China Sea, and are a channel for the advancement of Pinglu, but have no such great impact on the situation in the heart of the Central Plains.

Originally, Gao Pian thought that Wang Jian would take Luoyang and Zhengzhou Heyang, but now the situation has changed, and he cannot stick to the old rules.

When Wang Jian heard Gao Pian’s words, he knew that the other party did not have any wrong ideas!

Realizing this, Wang Jian's favor for Gao Pian increased greatly.

"Okay! I want three towns of Luoyang, Xuzhou and Bianzhou!" Wang Jian felt that the pie was really falling from the sky. Before that, he would never have thought that he could get so much benefit this time.

Wang Jian looked at Li Maozhen, "King Qi, what do you think?"

Li Maozhen suppressed his anger: "Why didn't you take Zhengzhou too?"

The remaining Zhengzhou Heyang Army and the Yicheng Army of Huazhou were small and not rich, and were also divided at both ends by the Xuanwu Army of Bianzhou. Li Maozhen had these two towns, especially Huazhou, which was really useless. The only advantage was that there was the gate of Zhengzhou Heyang Army, which went out from the east.

Wang Jian smiled and said, "It is indeed inappropriate to divide this way. In this way, I will give up the territory of Xuanwu Army from Bianzhou so that King Qi can be connected in the Central Plains. King Qi can only compensate me with one state."

There are several states in a town, and although the Xuanwu Army governs the prefectures in Bianzhou, it is not unchangeable.

After hearing this, Li Maozhen knew that Wang Jian had already made up his mind and could no longer persuade Wang Jian to join him.
