Chen Shi introduced the information and analysis and judgment he had in detail, believing that the affairs of Southern Chenzhou are unlikely to allow such strong negotiations between Caizhou and Daliang. He believed that this was a cover for negotiations between Daliang and Caizhou.

Cui Shang agrees with Chen Shi's analysis.

Caizhou and Daliang have already ceased to fight. With the current attitude inside Daliang, they are becoming increasingly reluctant to provoke a war. This is mainly related to the continuous suppression of the expansion of the military leaders under Liang King Zhu Yun.

Daliang has the most powerful military force in Zhongtu. As for the surrounding forces alone, no matter which one is, it is difficult for the two to challenge it alone, or even if the two companies join forces to challenge it, it will be difficult to pose too much threat to Daliang, even if Hedong and Taining Army join forces.

The Taining Army performed poorly in the First World War last year, and due to the severe drought in the jurisdiction of the Taining Army this year, the food harvest was poor. The Taining Army was in financial difficulties, and the situation this year was even more embarrassing. It can be said that it was basically unable to start a war.

Apart from Hedong, there is no force around Daliang that can pose a challenge to it now, and Hedong alone dare not provoke war easily, so the contradictions inside Daliang are actually highlighted.

With the reduction of external threats, internal conflicts between Daliang are prominent, and Caizhou also realized this, so he decisively and proactively sought reconciliation with Daliang, which would undoubtedly be recognized by Zhu Yun, even if the military may not be willing.

Unable to help but stand up, Choi Shang began to pace.

The complexity inside the beam is difficult to grasp even Cui Shang, who has lived in Daliang for decades. There are too many factors that can affect the direction of the beam.

Zhu Yun has never been a too strong lord, but he can always control the situation at critical moments.

The Daliang army leaders are undoubtedly the most powerful, but this requires their consistent attitude, and this situation is basically impossible.

The infiltration of the influence of merchants and local gentry and prominent families has divided the wealthy families led by military leaders into several parts, and interests can never be agreed upon.

Only when they encounter external threats can they join forces. Once the external threat disappears, internal contradictions will suddenly change the situation.

Caizhou's actions were undoubtedly planned. It can be imagined that once Daliang's understanding is obtained, Caizhou can focus on the eastward direction, which should be the purpose of Caizhou.

Cui Shang does not think that Caizhou is still fighting with Huaiyou at the moment, which is undoubtedly for both sides. For Caizhou, the Shi family in Huaibei, which has been exposed to the fact that the outside is strong and the middle is the best target for him to bite hard.

"I understand, Xiaolang, it's very important to learn to analyze and judge, and you must be good at finding problems from the details we usually do inadvertently."

Cui Shang was indeed very satisfied with Chen Shi's performance. He was able to clear away the cover of the affairs of Southern Chenzhou to find doubts. This was not easy for a young man who had just grown up.

Cui Shang was not optimistic about Chen Shi before. After all, Chen Shi was too young. Even though Huaiyou is short of staff now, there is no doubt how important it is to collect information in Bianjing, so he does not agree with Chen Shi very much, but this time Chen Shi's performance has greatly improved him.

It was not until Chen Shi left that Cui Shang began to fall into deep thought.

Although Caizhou's affairs did not fall into the previous consideration when they came to Bianjing this time, Caizhou has always been the biggest enemy of Huaiyou, and Daliang's attitude changes may have been targeted.

Choi Shang had to take this into consideration.

Perhaps Daliang's attitude towards Huaiyou has changed. When Jiang Feng still had only one county, Daliang might be contemptuous. When Jiang Feng took over the Guangxi and the two states in one fell swoop, Daliang should be the most happy to see, and he also believed that Jiang Feng should be the most suitable ally. But when Jiang Feng took over Shouzhou, what was Daliang's attitude?

Cui Shang felt that the current feelings and attitudes of the military leaders from Zhu Yun to Daliang should be complicated.

On the surface, Huaiyou does not pose any threat to Daliang, especially Huaiyou's blade pointed to Jiangnan in the east, but what if Huaiyou continues to succeed in this way?

Will this force whose expansion speed exceeds everyone's imagination be Daliang's best ally?

Should it be more appropriate to arrange an opponent that can restrict balance to give him eye drops?

This is probably the complex mentality of Daliang at the moment.

It is not appropriate to weaken Huaiyou to support her former mortal enemy Caizhou, but indulge Huaiyou without restrictions may also have hidden dangers, which needs to be grasped in a certain degree.

Cui Shang felt that he had basically grasped Daliang's current mentality.

For Daliang, internal problems restrict it from being unable to explore the outside world, but it will never allow more powerful vassals to appear around it.

A river east is enough. Due to the dangers of rivers and mountains and rivers in the Jin surface, Daliang has no choice but to do with the Jin Dynasty. However, if there is another possibility of a powerful vassal that can match the Jin Dynasty, this may be the end of Daliang. Therefore, this is never allowed. As long as there are such signs, we must find a way to kill them.

The Taining Army and the Shi family in Huaibei have their own irreparable shortcomings and are not in the eyes of Daliang.

For example, the Taining Army was purely a military interfering in politics, with weak literary power and unable to manage the strength that could compete with Daliang.

Huaibei is strong outside and the middle, especially Huaibei gentry was dissatisfied with the rule of the Shi family. An ant thief turned it upside down, and Daliang did not think it could threaten Daliang. If Daliang had not been confined to internal problems, he would have been able to destroy Huaibei in one go. In Daliang's eyes, solving Huaibei is even easier than solving Taining Army.

The Nanyang brothers in the south are fighting against each other, and it is difficult to become a great weapon; the Guanzhong corpse in the west is still alive, and the dead bones in the tomb.

Only the vitality shown by Caizhou is what Daliang is most afraid of, so Daliang has to spare no effort to suppress Caizhou.

However, Caizhou's tenacity made Daliang realize that if he wanted to completely solve Caizhou, he might not be able to achieve any effort, or Daliang paid too much.

Then we can only limit the development of Caizhou, so we will support Xuzhou to restrain Caizhou, and even support Liu Xuan, Nanyang to attack Caizhou.

Unexpectedly, this strategy was destroyed by Xuzhou for its own interests. Now the situation has become. Since Caizhou is unable to control it, it can only use squeeze measures to let it develop eastward, reduce pressure for Daliang and win time.

However, once Caizhou succeeds to the east, its power will inevitably increase greatly, so it is necessary to support Xuzhou (Huaiyou) to restrain Caizhou.

But the fact that Xuzhou won the core fertile land of Huainan with lightning speed made Daliang feel a little nervous.

From Xuzhou to Huaiyou, Jiang Feng's strength expanded rapidly. Although from the moment, it is not clear what harm Huaiyou will bring to Daliang, and it can even squeeze and restrain Caizhou. But in the long run, especially if Huaiyou benefited from the future Wu chaos, then Huaiyou's strength will expand to a worrying level.

Therefore, it is necessary to support Caizhou to restrain Huaiyou in the long run.

This is probably the current mentality and strategy of Daliang. Since it cannot be suppressed, it is better to support two irreconcilable opponents to restrain each other at the same time, so that Daliang can control his hands in it, helping the weak and suppressing the strong.

After understanding this, Cui Shang had to relax a little.

At least Huaiyou and Daliang are not bordered by Daliang, and the negotiations between Caizhou and Daliang have entered a substantial stage. After this year's rest and recovery, the situation in Huaibei is so bad. Cui Shang predicted that Caizhou's offensive against Huaibei may be launched soon. Perhaps Caizhou has even reached a plan with Daliang to divide Huaibei?

In the five continents of Huaibei, Yingbo and Xu Sihai, if Daliang is willing to hand over the westernmost Yingbo and Caizhou, Caizhou's strength will immediately rise to a big step. At that time, Daliang may be able to press Caizhou across Huai south to plan to the right of Huai.

Thinking of this, Cui Shang couldn't help but feel cold sweat.

If so, the negotiations between Daliang and Caizhou should have come to an end, and it may even be that the negotiations between Nanchenzhou are not a cover. If Daliang can take over the three states of Xu Sihai, even if it is Xuzhou, what if Nanchenzhou is handed over to Caizhou?

He picked up the cold tea on the erect table, Cui Shang drank it in one sip, calming down his mood.

The collaboration between Daliang and Caizhou cannot be called a covenant at present, and at most it is a temporary cooperation.

Daliang has the intention of driving a tiger and swallowing wolf. Caizhou will not be able to see it, but Caizhou also needs this opportunity to strengthen itself.

When you truly strengthen yourself, you will take the initiative to fight with yourself. At that time, those who listen to the big rap will have to depend on the situation. This is probably the reason why Caizhou is happy to agree now.

Caizhou has this intention, and Cui Shang didn't believe that so many counselors and scholars in Daliang would not be able to see it.

For Daliang, Caizhou and Huaiyou are the ones they are most happy to see, so if they ask Daliang for negotiations with Heshuo Army at this time, Daliang is probably willing to support him.

In the final analysis, it depends on its own strength. If Daliang wants Caizhou and Huaiyou to kill each other, Huaiyou may not have this intention. If Caizhou wants to cross the Huai River, it also needs to evaluate whether it can get what it wants in this battle.

Time is tight, and Cui Shang also knows that he needs to take action immediately and the Heshuo Army's problems must be solved immediately.

As for attracting and absorbing talents from the Central Plains, there is no rush to do so. You can take it slowly. Cui Shang already has some ideas on this issue.

In addition, Cui Shang also believes that Daliang may still have different opinions on supporting Caizhou to restrain Huaiyou.

Caizhou has become independent from Daliang and even turned into a backlash against Daliang. Cui Shang believes that from an emotional perspective, many senior executives of Daliang are still hostile to the Yuan family in Caizhou.
