Section 223 Collection

"Maybe this is Jiang Feng's way of success." Zhang Jizuo's face was also complicated and inexplicable, and there was a little more melancholy in his eyes. "Look at Yang Kan, Ding Man, Zhang Ting and others, and then look at the generals under Feng and Wang Shouzhong in the past. They all work well under Jiang Feng's hands. Shoushan, do you say that so many heroes in our Daliang cannot be used for us, and those who use them cannot show their strengths?"

Li He was speechless, and everyone understood the truth, but when it really fell on himself, it was not the same taste. Maybe this is the reason for the decline of Daliang.

Without the ambition and the courage and progress of the country at that time, the rest are content with the status quo and pampering life, and only see the interests of each family. It is difficult for such a big beam to survive for so many years in the battle with the Shatuo people.

If there is no determined goal to fight for it, and it cannot arouse the enthusiasm and courage of the entire group, this regime has no hope. Now Xuzhou seems to be replicating the miracle of Daliang's success back then, but when he succeeds, can he get rid of Daliang's misfortune?

"Oh, how meaningful is it to say this now?" Zhang Jizuo sighed, "I hope our Daliang generals can make a difference in Xuzhou. I believe we can repay the revenge of Shatuo people."

Li He knew what Zhang Jizuo meant.

In fact, over the past few years, many people have already joined Xuzhou, not only for their own family members, but also for many people who are not convinced.

Maybe Daliang is already in trouble, but what about Xuzhou? Huainan is orange and Huainan is tangerine. On the other hand, Huainan is tangerine, and Huainan can also be orange. If Daliang cannot get what he wants, then can revenge be achieved in Xuzhou?

Maybe it's OK, but it has nothing to do with Daliang.

"Do you think Xuzhou can match Shangshatuo people?" Li He threw away many bonds and discussed with Zhang Jizuo.

"It's hard to say. I always feel that Xuzhou has risen too fast and its foundation is too shallow. But in a sense, this seems to be another advantage of Xuzhou, without any constraints. What's more important is that Xuzhou has Huainan states as its foundation, which is an incomparable granary for Daliang, and it has overhauled water conservancy. As far as I know, the grain produced in Huainan states is enough for Pinglu, Ziqing, Tianping, Wuning and Huaiyou towns, and even more than enough. This is the capital that Jiang Feng dared to confront Shatuo people."

Zhang Jizuo's family background was born. His father Zhang Quanyi was a powerful supporter under Zhu Wen's command in Zhu Wen's era. He knew the dialectical relationship between military strength and comprehensive strength, especially how much money and food have a role in a powerful army.

"The iron production in Xuzhou has increased significantly and a large amount of steel has been produced, which is incomparable to the Shatu people. What Shatu people can gain the upper hand over Xuzhou is the maneuverability of the cavalry, but if Xuzhou maintains its defensive position, the advantage of the Shatu people will be weakened. It is still unknown who will win."

"What if this situation continues?" Li He had to admit that this colleague who was not very popular still had some vision and looked at the problem accurately.

"If the confrontation continues, the situation will definitely become more and more unfavorable to the Shatuo people. Xuzhou can even take action in Heshuo to make up for its shortcomings, but the advantages of the iron and grain in Xuzhou are not something that the Shatuo people can make up for in the short term." Zhang Jizuo hit the nail on the head.

Li He certainly knew what Zhang Jizuo said about Jiang Feng's move in Heshuo.

Wang Miao, the Privy Council of Xuzhou Privy Council, was the legitimate son of the former Jiedu army, who was familiar with the states under the Chengde army and had strong connections. Zhang Chujin, the current Jiedu army governor of the Chengde army, caused anger among the heavens and people in the Chengde army states, especially in the eastern states of Chengde army, which were almost semi-independent.

If Xuzhou, which had taken Pinglu, had to plan to become the eastern German states, it was not difficult to succeed by crossing the river.

Of course, this may attract the hostility of the Khitans who had long been coveted by the three towns of Heshuo in the north. But after all, there is a Lulong Town that is not weak between the Khitans and the Chengde army. Before swallowing Lulong Town, even though the Khitans had thousands of ideas, they could only watch it.

"The Shatuo people will not see this. As long as they take down Bianjing, they may attack Xuzhou." Li He shook his head and said.

"Not necessarily." Zhang Jizuo also shook his head, "The Shatuo people captured Bianjing, but the Central Plains did not belong to him. Henan Prefecture only occupied half, and Nanyang and Caizhou both came to share the food. Here, Ruzhou, Xuzhou, Chenzhou, and Songzhou were all occupied by Nanyang and Caizhou. The Shatuo people may not be willing to do it. And the most important thing is that Nanyang and Caizhou are better than Xuzhou. Before that, Shatuo people also needed rest and share the spoils. If you don't satisfy his appetite, they will not follow Zhu Xiecunhou honestly."

"If I were Zhu Xie Cunhou, I would have to attack Xuzhou first. Nanyang and Caizhou might even stand by, but if you attack Nanyang and Caizhou, you would give Xuzhou time to breathe and sit down. Now what Xuzhou needs most is time." Li He continued to shake his head, "Zhu Xie Cunhou also has wise men, and they will not be unable to see this."

"Of course he can see this, but you have to know that Zhu Xiecunhou is not the only one who can tell the final decision. The nobles inside Shatuo are powerful, and the mistresses outside the frontier have their own ideas. If you don't fight the weak, you can get real benefits immediately, but you have to touch the hardest bones. Do you think that the nobles and mistresses outside the frontier can agree? Besides, you said that Xuzhou will use this time to become bigger, and Shatuo people will also feel that if we swallow this Central Plains, will the power not become bigger?" Zhang Jizuo's usual sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hmph, what if I swallow the Central Plains? Can these Hu people digest it all at once? Maybe it will only be their burden, right?" Li He disagreed. "Zhu Xie Cunhou is not so arrogant yet. He thought that once he occupied Luoyang and Bianjing, he would be in the world?"

"Zhu Xiecunhou must have seen it, but what about the people below him?" Zhang Jizuo asked back.

The Jin system has been nominally sinicized, but in fact, the Shatuo nobles still have a considerable voice in it. Although Li Cunhou was the King of Jin, if he could not get the support of the Shatuo nobles, his execution ability would be greatly reduced. Li Cunhou had to consider this.

"You mean that Shatuo people might attack Caizhou or Nanyang first?" Li He asked in a deep voice.

"Maybe it could be Wei Bo." Zhang Jizuo hesitated for a moment, "Although Wei Bo's prefectures are dilapidated, the Luo family has plundered so many times over the years. It can still gain something by solving Wei Bo's flanking threats in one fell swoop. It is also an explanation for the internal and the Mihu, and it will not stimulate the Khitans."

"Impossible!" Li He shook his head, "The Wei Bo Luo clan is not weak. If you fight Wei Bo, you will suffer a lot of losses, but your income is not large enough. As for removing the threat, Wei Bo is afraid that the Shatu people are more afraid of attacking him, so how dare you threaten the Shatu people?"

"There is also a reason, that is, Nanyang is more likely." Zhang Jizuo recognized Li He's reason.

"Why isn't Caizhou?" Li He asked again.

"Although Caizhou has just fought a war with Xuzhou, I am sure that Caizhou has been in peace with Xuzhou at this time, and may even form an alliance." Zhang Jizuo's tone was quite certain, "Xuzhou understands the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Once the Shatuo people destroy Caizhou, it will directly threaten Wuning Town and Huaiyou Town in Xuzhou, which will inevitably shake Jiang Feng's foundation. Jiang Feng will not tolerate it. I believe that if Shatuo people reveal their intention to attack Caizhou, the two sides will announce an alliance."

Li He thought carefully and felt that Zhang Jizuo's analysis was indeed reasonable. It was just that Jiang Feng and Yuan had a great grudge. Can the two sides let go of this grudge to form an alliance?

"I know it's not that I'm just a hurry to follow you." Zhang Jizuo knew Li He's suspicion and concern, "Xuzhou needs time, and Caizhou also needs time. Maybe Caizhou and Nanyang will also form an alliance?"

"The three families form an alliance?" Li He was slightly moved.

"It is hard to say that this kind of chain alliance is needed. Xuzhou only needs time. If the Shatuo people only attack Nanyang, Xuzhou may not be willing to send troops." Zhang Jizuo felt that there were many variables here. "If Caizhou was involved in the war because of Nanyang, it is hard to say whether Xuzhou would send troops because of it. Maybe Xuzhou thinks that Nanyang and Caizhou can unite to hold the Shatuo people for one or two years? For Xuzhou, maybe one or two years is enough."

Li He shook his head and laughed silently, "Jizuo, we are worrying about others. Our destiny is hard to protect, and we still have this leisure? Hey, tell me, what are you going to do? The invitation from Xuzhou has arrived."

Xuzhou has never let go of Daliang's legacy.

In such a large city of Bianjing, the wealthy counties such as Chenliu and Yongqiu were surrounded by wealthy counties, and they were hard to stop the Shatuo cavalry. Of course, the gentry, wealthy households and wealthy merchants in these places had to find another way out.

Xuzhou also welcomed with open arms, and Shouzhou, Suzhou, Xuzhou, Sizhou, Yanzhou and Caozhou all let these choices be made.

Of course, in the eyes of these people, they must be the first choice for Xuzhou and Shouzhou, and then Suzhou, Sizhou, Yanzhou and Caozhou are all choices for those who are unwilling to leave the hinterland of the Central Plains.

In fact, after the fall of Luoyang, Xuzhou has been actively doing this work, and many gentry and wealthy businessmen have withdrawn from Luoyang and fled to Xuzhou.

Later, the work in this area became increasingly intense, especially the tension in Bianjing city became increasingly intense. Many gentry and prominent families who had some connections in Xuzhou naturally wanted to arrange their way out in advance to avoid being burned. Therefore, both sides hit it off and all kinds of conveniences were open to the door.

"Look, we are all desperate people. If we can have some luck in Xuzhou and find some future for the family's children, why would we refuse?" Zhang Jizuo sighed sadly.
