"Sir, Liu Xuan has made up his mind to attack Caizhou? What should we do?" Xue Chan couldn't help but ask.

If Liu Xuan had made up his mind, it would be meaningless to stay in Nanyang again. What needs to be done is to try his best to urge the Dajin, Taining Army and Huaibei to send troops quickly, and to do their best to launch an attack on Daliang, so as to minimize the pressure on Caizhou's eastern, northern and western fronts, so that Caizhou can free up his hands as soon as possible to deal with Nanyang's attack.

Yuchi Wubing gently tapped his fingers on the armrest of Hu's chair, as if considering the current chaotic and complex situation.

Although Liu Xuan had great ambitions, he was not a person who was unclear about the current affairs. He should have expected that once he insisted on sending troops to Caizhou alone, it would be equivalent to the breaking of the entire anti-Daliang system.

The Li family in Guanzhong, Dajin, Taining Army, and Huaibei will all turn against him. In addition, he marched into Anzhou and made enemies in Ehuang and Xiangyang, which is in disagreement, can be said that except for Daliang, all around him were enemies all at once.

Can Liu Xuan bear this radical change from the original popular strategic situation to the enemy on all sides?

Especially with the huge pressure from the Li family in Guanzhong, Liu Xuan really dared to ignore it?

He is different from the Zhu family of Daliang. Now everyone still maintains an extremely subtle tacit understanding between Guanzhong and Daliang.

Daliang will not take the initiative to provoke Guanzhong, and even make Guanzhong a little bit in some details, and Guanzhong will never easily cross the line, such as publicly scolding Daliang, or directly asking everyone to send troops to avoid tearing his face and causing them to be irreparable damage to each other.

Although the Li family in Guanzhong was still in a state of upright status, it was limited by its own strength and lost the Bianluo area in the Central Plains, and its influence gradually declined. However, the upright status made the vassals have to seek recognition from Guanzhong in order to make their identity and orthodox nature of their rule.

This situation is a bit like the situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Although the King of Zhou did not have strong strength, he still had a certain influence. Daliang was like the Qin State in the past. He hated the King of Zhou for a while but had no choice but to be helpless, and he had to give in vain.

But if Liu Xuan thought he could be like Daliang, he would have thought it wrong, as long as Li's order was issued, the legitimacy of his identity could be questioned.

For example, if you oppose it annexed Anzhou, grant Anzhou to Ehuang, or even hand over Shenzhou directly to others, this method may not cause it to be damaged immediately for a while, but in the long run, this subtle influence will still be reflected.

After all, this world still respects Zhengshuo, and the people of Li Tang's Zhengshuo, except for the barbarians and Hu people in the north, the Central Plains Jianghuai, Wuyue Heshuo, Shannan Jiannan, these local people still agree with it.

"No, it's not necessarily true. Although Liu Xuan is ambitious, he is not an arrogant person. He doesn't want to understand some things clearly, so he dares not act rashly." Yuchi Wubing shook his head slowly and expressed his judgment. "I guess he should also be in contact with all parties at this time. It seems that he must measure the pros and cons well before he dares to make a decision, but it should be soon."

Yuchi Wubing was also trying to figure out Liu Xuan’s thoughts at this time.

It is impossible for Liu Xuan to have no ambitions in Caizhou. Yuchi Wubing and the Liu brothers have known each other for decades. With his understanding of Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan probably had this idea for a long time. It was because the conditions in all aspects were not yet mature, so he had not made a decision.

The nine prominent families outside the Li family in Chang'an, Changsun, Yao, Song, Fang are civil servants, Xu, Yuchi, Xue, Guo, and Wei are military generals and wealthy families. The children of the nine families are all close friends with the two Lius in Nanyang. Like Xue Chan, who followed Yuchi Wubing, is also a concubine of the Xue family, and he has known the brothers Liu and Liu Xuan for a long time. The Yuchi family and Liu are even more close friends. Liu Xuan also needs to consider that once he violates the attitude of Li family in Guanzhong, it is equivalent to having a feud with the entire Guanzhong wealthy family. Can he bear such a price?

But if you say how much pressure Liu Xuan has to bear, it may not be enough. The Great Jin and Taining Army are not bound by the Nanyang territory and have no effect. Even if Huaibei borders in the future, it will be difficult to have much impact on it. As for the Huang Du family in the E-Huang, I am afraid that they are more afraid.

The ones that really have a substantial impact on Liu Xuan are Guanzhong and Xiangyang Xiao family.

Guanzhong has an all-round impact on it, and may even promote changes in Liu Tong's attitude towards him, while the Xiao family is a real threat.

From the terrain, it can be seen that if Liu Xuan lost the protection of Nanyang Prefecture and Bizhou, Suizhou would face the attack of the Xiangyang Army from the east at any time, and its strategic situation would change.

Once the Xiangyang army really poses a threat to Suizhou, then the E Huang Du family, who originally did not dare to challenge Liu Xuan, was afraid that their attitude would change. In addition, Huaibei, Liu Xuan would probably be in a possible situation of being attacked.

On the one hand, there is a huge temptation of interests, and on the other hand, there is a possible deterioration of external relations. This is indeed a test of Liu Xuan, but Yuchi Wubing, based on his consideration of Liu Xuan's personality and mentality, felt that if there were no other unexpected factors, Liu Xuan might have to choose to send troops to Caizhou in the end.

There is nothing else, so that your descendants can gain greater territory and glory, rather than surrender to your descendants of your brothers. This temptation is difficult for Liu Xuan, who has always had to surrender to Liu Tong, who is deeply bound.

He didn't want his son to be like himself, and he knew very well that opportunity should not be missed and he would never come again.

If Liu Xuan did not choose to attack Caizhou, but chose to attack Ehuang and even Xiangyang, the Li family in Guanzhong would be out of the matter and even enjoyed it. When the power of the two Lius grew, they would always have some restrictions on Daliang, but only Caizhou was difficult for Guanzhong to accept.

Seeing that Yuchi Wubing's face was gloomy and gloomy, Xue Mingdong could no longer bear it.

This time, the heads of the Yuan and Xue families sent him to Nanyang to see Yuchi Wubing, who wanted to catch the influence of Yuchi Wubing to support Liu Xuan's abnormal movements, and even offered extremely generous conditions, such as giving up Guangzhou, but unless it was absolutely necessary, this condition would not be raised.

"Uncle Yuchi, can you please the Xiao family..."

Yuchi Wubing looked at Xue Mingdong and pondered slightly: "Mingdong, I know what you mean. If the Xiao family stationed troops on the east line, it would indeed put pressure on Liu Xuan, but have you considered it? The Xiao family's move may make the conflict between Liu Tong and Liu Xuan suddenly give way to the pressure of foreign aggression. The Liu family has always been inconsistent with the Xiao family. At this time, the Xiao family will only give Liu Xuan a polite manner. The Liu family may unite. Even the Liu Tong family will support Liu Xuan. Liu Xuan can send troops to Caizhou more unscrupulously. If the Xiao family dares to send troops to Suizhou, the Nanyang army can also go south to Xiangyang. The Xiao family can make an attitude. If they want them to really send troops, I am afraid they are not really ready for this."

Xue Mingdong felt cold in his heart, but he also knew that Yuchi Wubing's words were true.

It is not as easy as sending troops to Nanyang to say hello to someone in the Xiao family just by Yuchi Wubing.

It is OK to behave, but if you really want to send troops, I am afraid that the Xiao family will act cautiously. Whether it is in line with the interests of the Xiao family at the moment needs to be considered one by one. By the time you think it is clear, you will probably have already passed.

The eyes flew over Xue Mingdong's entangled face. This kid was still too young and could not hide things in his heart. It seemed that Yuan was indeed forced to be too tight. Yuan could not send a more suitable candidate to Nanyang and sent all the kids. Do you think he was one of the candidates for his Dongshui Fast Son-in-law? Yuan also looked at his influence too highly, and Yuchi Wubing felt a little ridiculed when he thought of this.

Daliang seemed to have really moved this time. The humiliation of Nanchenzhou may be like a thorn in the hearts of Daliang's generals. If he doesn't remove it, he will not be able to get rid of it. Yuchi Wubing still has a judgment on this.

But the only thing I didn't expect was that Liu Xuan would get involved. It seems that Shenzhou's success has indeed stirred up Liu Xuan's ambitions, and Anzhou's easy-to-handed inclusion even further stimulated his desires, which made him so arrogant.

"Mingdong, give me a accurate letter. Did Caizhou intend to hand over Guangzhou in exchange for Liu Xuan's stop?" After pondering for a moment, Yuchi Wubing finally asked.

Xue Mingdong's body trembled slightly, his face changed. After a long time, he gritted his teeth with great difficulty and said, "Uncle Yuchi, before coming, the two heads of the family did tell me that if Nanyang could give Caizhou strong support, Caizhou would be willing to transfer Guangzhou to Nanyang, but it would be better to give it to Liu Tong. Caizhou would be willing to submit a petition to appoint Liu Yang as the governor of Guangzhou."

"Liu Yang is the governor of Shenzhou?" Yuchi Wubing smiled and glanced at Xue Mingdong, "How could Liu be caught in this kind of alienation plan?"

Liu Yang is Liu Tong's third son, and his second son Liu Guang is already the governor of Bizhou. Although Liu Tong himself is still the prefect of Nanyang, everyone knows that it is the treasure of his eldest son Liu Han. If Shenzhou is handed over to Liu Yang, it will undoubtedly greatly stimulate Liu Xuan and make the relationship between Liu Tong and Liu Xuan suddenly tense.

"But if it is given directly to Liu Xuan, but after Liu Xuan succeeds, what if he takes it, then what should he do?" Xue Mingdong asked back: "Let Liu Tong and his team take over, at least he can restrain Liu Xuan in the east and make him unable to do whatever he wants!"

"It's not appropriate. Liu Tong would not accept such an overly obvious trick. This can only stimulate Liu Xuan." Yuchi Wubing stood up and walked back and forth a little anxiously.

"But can you guarantee that he will not send troops to Caizhou by hand? Liu Xuan now has more than 80,000 troops in his hands. He only stationed 20,000 troops in Anzhou, and only stationed 15,000 troops in Suizhou. The remaining 40,000 troops were all placed in Shenzhou. Moreover, all 8,000 cavalrymen were transferred from Suizhou to Shenzhou. What was going on is obvious. Giving Guangzhou to him can only carry fire to put out the fire, which is meaningless!"

Xue Mingdong couldn't help but stand up and said with a higher voice.
