The slightly raised cheekbones and thin cheeks made Wang Shouxin look very different from his brother Wang Shouzhong, and even made people wonder whether they were brothers. However, Wang Shouxin was indeed born to the same mother as Wang Shouzhong, and both were legitimate sons, but Wang Shouzhong was even longer.

The short beard under the jaw touched the fingers slightly thorned his hands. Wang Shouxin's slender but slightly rough fingers could prove his attainment in weapon cultivation. He rode his horse forward, and Wang Shouxin's eyes became a little more melancholy, "Is this Pengcheng?"

Wang Shouxin arrived in Xuzhou a little later than Liu Yansi, so that Wang Shouxin's idea of ​​meeting Liu Yansi was also dashed. I don't know if Liu Yansi was intentionally trying to avoid him, or if he was really too busy, or he just felt that now was not a good time to meet.

Xuzhou’s Xiongcheng is of course the city of Wang Shouxin’s dream. In comparison, Qingzhou is much inferior.

When he was young, Wang Shouxin followed his brother and dreamed of stepping onto Yanyun, entering Xusi and unifying the land of Qi and Lu. However, as his experience grew and the cruelty of reality made him realize that in these days, fighting and fighting in the country is not something that can be done by fighting alone.

When the Taining Army was on the verge of collapse, Pinglu had not been able to attack the Taining Army. However, on the one hand, Zhu Mao's Taining Army was not weak in combat, especially the armies under Zhu Mao's personal control, which were especially strong and had to fight, and the second reason was that the situation in the three prefectures of Yan, Yun and Yi had never been better. Taking these three prefectures not only would not bring much profit to Pinglu, but would have to carry a huge burden. Among the Pinglu civil servants, they all spoke firmly against the attack on the Taining Army.

If Pinglu wants to expand, he can only cross the river northward into Heshuo, or enter Haizhou from the southeast.

The situation in Heshuo is similar to that of the Taining Army. Whether it is Dizhou, Dezhou or Bozhou, there have been constant floods and droughts in recent years. Zhang Chujin has been busy with his own care. If he wants to fight, there is not a chance, but what if he takes over Dizhou and Dezhou? Not to mention the difficulty of defending across a big river, Pinglu can't stand the cost of garrisoning there just by eating horses, so after considering it, he could only give up.

The only choice is to go south to Haizhou, which is salty and hangs alone in a corner. It is really the best choice, but unexpectedly, just like this, it will immediately cause a disaster.

No, Wang Shouxin also knew that Huaiyou's troops sent Pinglu was definitely not because Pinglu occupied Haizhou. Haizhou was just a hot topic. Perhaps Huaiyou took action in advance, and sooner or later Huaiyou would have to attack Pinglu.

On this issue, Wang Shouxin, who had surrendered, talked with Privy Councilor Wang Miao.

Before, Wang Shouxin rode alone to Qingzhou to meet Jiang Feng. He had a long talk, but the content of the talk was the future of Pinglu Army and did not involve the entire Huaiyou future strategy. However, Wang Shouxin had already felt the vigorous ambitions revealed in Jiang Feng's words, and he would not give up. However, there was no deep discussion on where the Huaiyou Army's military commander was pointing.

In Wang Shouxin's view, Huaiyou may take a defensive position in the north and make a difference in the south.

After all, although the Jin and Liang battles began to gain the upper hand, Daliang was a centipede worm that died without being stiff. It would be not easy for Dajin to completely destroy Daliang in one go. Daliang alone is still in Zhengzhou, and not everyone can swallow the more than 100,000 troops of Bianzhou and Songzhou.

Wang Shouxin thought whether Huaiyou wanted to make a fuss about the issue of Guangshen Prefectures, or he wanted to retake Yingbo. You should know that Yingbo and Guangzhou were both included in the five towns planned by the county government.

Especially in Guangzhou, it was taken away by Nanyang from Huaiyou. How could Huaiyou, who has recovered now, not avenge this revenge?

There is also Yingbo. The Yuan family in Caizhou took advantage of the situation and robbed Yingbo. Will Huaiyou not fight back?

Unexpectedly, the conversation with Wang Miao gave Wang Shouxin a completely different signal.

Wang Miao was also frank and directly stated that if Huaiyou wanted to ensure the stability of the territory of the entire Huaibei and Huainan, then having a strategic depth in the north was a necessary choice, not only at Pinglu.

The last sentence made Wang Shouxin think a lot, not only Pinglu? Does Huaiyou want to use troops to Heshuo?!

Lord Jun Gong is ready to be an enemy of the world?!

Thinking about this idea makes me scary.

Jiang Feng was hostile to Nanyang and Caizhou in the south, and Li Wu was in constant conflict with Chu and the two prefectures. Once the Shatuo people conquered Daliang, the two sides would confront each other on the Yan, Yun and Xu line. The relationship between the Shatuo people and Huaiyou would definitely be tense. If Jiang Feng still wanted to go north to conquer Heshuo, his enemies would not only be Heshuo towns, but also the Khitans who had long been ambitious about Heshuo towns.

The south made enemies in Nanyang and Caizhou. Even if Li Wu did not count for the time being, the Shatuo Jin, which replaced Daliang in the Central Plains, was an enemy, and the north had to confront the three towns of Heshuo and even the Khitans. This was really a defiance of the heavens.

Although I felt that this place was definitely not exactly what I guessed, Huai You would definitely not stop at Pinglu, but the view that he had long been revealed in Wang Miao's tone.

Not only did this make Wang Shouxin feel scared, but it made Wang Shouxin unable to express his excitement and expectations. Isn’t it just that the generals hoped to have a strong enough opponent to fight?

In the past, in Pinglu, he was timid and had no value in fighting the Taining Army. He dared not fight against Daliang. Heshuo was not worth the loss. He finally went south to Haizhou, but it was destroyed. It was not a crime of war, but Pinglu's own strategic positioning and strength determined his destiny, which also made generals like Wang Shouxin feel despair.

Now he has been attached to Huaiyou, with a strong financial and food foundation in Huainan, a magical power that surpasses other vassals and long-range strike weapons as a backing. Wang Shouxin felt that there was no reason to be afraid of anyone.

No matter whether it is Shatuo people, Heshuo army, or Khitan people, Wang Shouxin thinks it is just one word, do it!

As for the Caizhou Army and the Nanyang Army, Wang Shouxin felt that he should teach these guys who only grinned behind their backs, so that they could understand who could provoke and who could not provoke!

So when Jiang Feng set up five towns and appointed him as the governor of the Wuning Army, he took office without any hesitation. Going south to Xuzhou means that he might have to compete for Songzhou, but Liu Yansi's Ziqing Army actually walked in front, which made Wang Shouxin very anxious.

In theory, the Wuning Army should be the first main force in the fight against Songzhou. Fortunately, Wang Shouxin also understood that if he really wanted to move Songzhou, he would inevitably have a full-scale conflict with the Caizhou Army. This is definitely not something that the Ziqing Army can withstand, and then the Wuning Army will naturally be indispensable.

"Governor, it's time to enter the city." Chai Yong urged his horse to come up, "The little army came to report, and the county duke came outside the city gate to welcome us."

"Ah? The Duke of County is here?" Wang Shouxin was shocked and looked far away, "How did this make it?"

He did see people gathering outside the city gate from afar, and he also thought that someone might be coming to pick him up. After all, he led his army from Mizhou to lead his army from thousands of miles away, but he didn't expect that Jiang Feng would come to pick him up in person.

Wang Shouxin led the reorganization of the old Huai Youzuo Army led by Chai Yong in Yizhou, and a total of ten armies were combined to form the current new Wuning Army. The original old Wuning Army and three armies were waiting for the convergence in Xuzhou City, and finally the new Wuning Army of the thirteen armies were set to be the new Wuning Army of the thirteen armies.

"The governor is not only a county duke, but also a court mission. I heard that it includes the imperial court's Tongzhi and the princess' highness." Chai Yong said with a smile, and was also quite proud.

Chai Yong was transferred from the deputy commander-in-chief of the Huaiyou Left Army to the deputy governor of the Wuning Army, but he was not dissatisfied with it.

First of all, as the territory under the county duke continued to expand, more and more talented men and women were under the county duke. For example, in the Pinglu Town Army, Wang Shouxin, Liu Yansi and Zhang Junyue all had the strength of the Little Heavenly Territory, and even Wang Guoxi was close to the Little Heavenly Territory.

Of course, it is not to say that you can be the only one with martial arts skills, but like Wang Shouxin, Liu Yansi and Zhang Junyue were both long-term generals who have led troops for many years. Even Qin and Han Dynasty admired Wang Shouxin and Liu Yansi very much.

Zhu Mao's surrender was even more shocking. Zhu Mao himself was already a strong man in the middle stage of the Pian or even close to the late stage of the Pian. His martial arts level was slightly stronger than Lord Jung-gong. Zhu Mi and Gao Jinzhong both had the strength to approach the middle stage of the Pian, which was slightly better than himself.

It can be said that the county lord is now surrounded by heroes, and there are more than ten strong people with the strength of the small heaven. Among the vassals, there is probably no other vassal clan except Liang Jin, who has so many martial arts powerhouses, even Nanyang is inferior.

You should know that this is not a gathering of pure martial arts powerhouses. These martial arts powerhouses are all predecessors who can fight, and this is the key.

For example, there are more than a dozen powerful people in the heavenly ranks in the family of the grand princes in Chang'an City, but there is no problem for those pure martial arts masters to fight alone, but if they want to win a thousand miles of victory, they will not be able to catch the charge. Otherwise, the imperial army would not be defeated repeatedly when facing the Dangxiang Iron Cavalry.

Secondly, the 13th Army under Wuning Town is larger than the Huaiyou Left Army in the past, and will be further expanded to the 16th Army in the next step, especially if they may soon participate in the battle for hegemony with the Ziqing Army. It makes people feel excited when they think about it.

This is also one of the main reasons why Wang Shouxin and Chai Yong's relationship has approached sharply during this period. Both of them urgently hope to compete with Shatuo people or the Yuan family in Caizhou. Fighting for power on the battlefield is the greatest destiny of the general.

"Oh? Does the county lord intend to show the style of our Wuning Army in front of the court?" Wang Shouxin sorted out his helmet and said seriously: "Let the men cheer me up. If the majesty of our Wuning Army is degraded, I will not forgive him!"
