Section 264 Turmoil

Yuchi Yanxia hurriedly stepped into the yard, and the oncoming guard bowed, "Where is my brother?"

"The eldest son and the second master are in the west wing." The guard hurriedly said.

Yuchi Yanxia nodded and walked in quickly.

The ice basin in the room was preventing the cooling ice, which brought some coolness to this summer, but the two people sitting on the Hu chair in the room were solemn and anxious.

"Erlang is here?" Yuchi Wubing showed a kind look on his face, "What do you say from the Xue family?"

"It's still the two ends of the rat, hesitating." Yuchi Yanxia sighed and shook his head, "It seems that he still can't bear to leave the great scene in Chang'an City."

"The same is true for the Wei family." Yuchi Yanke, who was walking beside him, was also gloomy and very depressed. "Can no one in Chang'an City see the huge crisis hidden in it, and is so leisurely. I really think that the Dangxiang people just come to harass Qiufeng every time? It would be too late to fight in."

"Hmph, of course they can see it, but they are used to think about it. They always think that the Hu people of Dangxiang are border barbarians who respect the integrity of the imperial court, and there are Shatu people who are the dominant people in the Central Plains and will not challenge the bottom line of the Shatu people. But when did Chang'an City become the bottom line of the Shatu people? How could Li Cunhou have such close contact with the court?" Yuchi Yanxia sat down, shook off his long gown, and said in a deep voice: "I returned from Xuzhou, and I specifically walked to Songzhou, Bianzhou, Zhengzhou, Henan Prefecture, and then went south from Luyang Pass to Nanyang, and saw with my own eyes the preparations for the Jin army and the Nanyang army."

"This battle is inevitable?" Yuchi Wubing pondered.

"It is certainly inevitable." Yuchi Yanxia said firmly: "Although I have not seen the large-scale military mobilization of the Jin army, I have seen the Shatuo people accumulating military resources, especially food and supplies, and are continuously transporting them to Henan Prefecture and Zhengzhou."

"What's going on in Nanyang?" Yuchi Yanke asked anxiously. He had already been engaged to Liu Jue, another legitimate daughter of Liu Tong in Nanyang. He originally planned to get married later this year, but now it seems that there are probably many uncertainties.

"Nanyang is also actively preparing for war. Luyang Pass has been on high alert. However, Nanyang has contracted in the southern part of Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou that they are now controlling. I guess it is because of the long front line and the Jin army that they are defeated by each of them." Yuchi Yanxia recalled: "Nanyang's response is still very strong, but in my feeling, Nanyang still lacks a little courage and spirit."

"Courage and spirit come from strength. How many battles have Nanyang fought in so many years?" Yuchi Wubing's face was cold. "Two years ago, Liu launched a large-scale military campaign in the north. What's the result? Facing the Caizhou army was defeated and was in a mess. Yes, Nanyang's magic power is very strong and there are mountain barbarians to help, but this is not enough to show that they can deal with the Shatu people who have fought against the powerful army for hundreds of battles. Especially in the plains, the strength of the Shatu people's cavalry is not something that the Nanyang army can challenge, and the infantry of the Hedong Han army has also fought with Daliang for decades. In addition, the Shatu people have also recruited a group of collapsed Liang army infantry, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated."

"What the second uncle meant is that Nanyang could hardly resist the attack of the Shatu people?" Yuchi Yanke was a little anxious.

You should know that he and Liu Tong's daughter had a marriage agreement. In this era, if the engagement between noble families and prominent families is not revoked without special accidents, it will not be cancelled. Once the contract is broken, it will be contempt and ridiculed by other big families.

Yuchi Wubing pondered for a while before slowly saying: "In my judgment, it may be difficult for the Nanyang army to withstand the attack of the Shatu people in Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou. If Nanyang is more decisive, retreat with a large stride, and defend against the mountainous areas of Fangcheng Mountain and Funiu Mountain, it may be a little better. In addition, I am thinking that Liu and Liu Xuan are not stupid, so we should consider how their family can withstand the Shatu people? The Shatu people's fangs are revealed at the moment. If they don't know how to find allies, it would be really stupid."

"Alliance?" Yuchi Yanke and Yuchi Yanxia said at the same time: "Xuzhou and Caizhou?"

"So it should be done, otherwise how can Nanyang deal with it?" Yuchi Wubing stroked the green beard under his jaw, "Can we still find the Du family of E Huang or the Yang family of Jin Shang?"

"The environment around Nanyang is not good either. Although the strength of the surrounding forces is not strong, no one has a harmonious relationship. The Yang family and Yang Wenchang of the Jin Shang west belong to the same clan. They were originally very respectful to Nanyang, but it may not be possible now. E Huang Du family and Nanyang have hatred for taking Anzhou, so there is no need to say that the Xiao family in Xiangyang is even more mortal enemies. If Shatuo people promised these families a favor, would these families take advantage of the situation and stab them from behind Nanyang?" Yuchi Yanxia couldn't help asking.

"I'm afraid I can't? I'm afraid these people still understand the truth that the wolves of Shatuo people enter Jingxiang again, and I'm afraid that none of them will have a good life." Yuchi Yanke's mouth was a little bitter.

"It may not be possible. The Shatu people's iron cavalry is unparalleled, but after passing the Huai River line, they belong to the south. The Shatu people may not be able to adapt. In my judgment, the limit of the Shatu people's military advance is the Huai River. Going south further, it will be more than worth the loss."

Yuchi Yanxia is now increasingly impressed by Jiang Feng.

It is easy to divide the north and south, but it is difficult to confront the east and west. Jiang Feng's current strength has extended from Pinglu Ziqing to Chuyang. The entire river south to the north of the river. This area spans Qilu, Central Plains and Jianghuai are all controlled by Jiang Feng. Whether it is the cavalry, infantry or navy, Jiang Feng can have the power to show off under his rule.

In contrast, although the army like Shatuo people, they may not be able to adapt to the geographical climate there if they truly pass through the Huai River.

"Erlang said something, the Shatu people may not be able to unify the world. The Shatu people's strength can only be reflected in the Central Plains. This is their strength. I judged that the Shatu people wanted to attack Nanyang, on the one hand, because Nanyang occupied the southern part of Henan Prefecture, Ruzhou, Xuzhou and other places belong to the Central Plains region and are also suitable for the Shatu people to use troops. Another important reason is that the climate of the Nanyang Basin is more close to the Central Plains. Of course, the most important reason is that Nanyang has accumulated over a hundred years and is rich and abundant. The Shatu people now regard the Central Plains as their foundation and are unwilling to make this area turn into a white land. If the sons want to be comforted, they may have to use Nanyang as a reward."

The worry on Yuchi Wubing's face was even heavier.

"This may be worse. With this temptation, I am afraid that those Shatu people will work harder." Yuchi Yanke blurted out.

"Well, that's exactly that." Yuchi Wubing glanced at Yuchi Yanxia, ​​"Yan Shan has not come back, but Erlang, what are your arrangements?"

"Uncle Second, this is not my idea, it is Yan Shan's own intention." Yuchi Yanxia said quietly: "Yan Shan intends to marry Jiang Feng as a fair wife."

"Ah?!" Yuchi Yanke and Yuchi Wubing were both shocked.

But Yuchi Wubing was only slightly shocked and immediately reacted. He knew his niece very well and had great opinions. Not to mention her brothers, even her elders might not be able to make any decisions for her. Since it was her own decision, it must have been a decision after careful consideration.

"Erlang, why did Yan Shan have a sudden idea? Princess..." Yuchi Yanke glanced at Yuchi Wubing and said hesitantly: "Isn't this embarrassing Your Highness the Princess?"

"It's not counting." Yuchi Yanxia obviously discussed with his sister before returning. "Jiang Feng has no descendants so far, and based on our observations in Xuzhou this time, Xuzhou's strength has far surpassed any vassal clan in the Middle-earth world. I'm afraid that the only people who can compete with Xuzhou are Shatuo people and Khitans. Even Yang Wenchang is not worth mentioning in front of Xuzhou. Before returning, Yan Shan told me that Jiang Feng said that Shatuo people went south to Nanyang and it was a foregone conclusion that Nanyang could not resist. However, stimulated by Shatuo people to go south, Dangxiang people and Yang Wenchang would definitely take action. The situation in Guanzhong is very dangerous. It is recommended that our Yuchi family prepare early."

"Be prepared early? Will our Yuchi family really evacuate from Guanzhong and leave Chang'an? Where can we go?" Yuchi Yanke couldn't help but shout, "After leaving Chang'an, is our Yuchi family still the family of nine ministers?"

"Stay in Chang'an, waiting for the blade and neck of Dangxiangren and Yang Wenchang?" Yuchi Yanxia couldn't help but retort.

His elder brother is an indecisive and extravagant person. He always thinks that Chang'an is the best, and other places are insignificant, and it is a typical frog in the well.

Everyone has a heart that cannot be separated from his hometown, but this trip to Xuzhou gave Yuchi Yanxia a great impact, making him realize that he had been in Guanzhong, Chang'an for too long, so he ignored the changes in the outside world. After walking out, he realized that the outside world was completely different from what he imagined. The prosperity of Xuzhou and Shouzhou shocked him, and the impact he brought was also huge.

The third sister even spared no effort to "feed the tiger with her body" to get Jiang Feng's agreement that the Yuchi family could move to Xuzhou or Shouzhou as a whole, and it is said that they could also go to Yangzhou in the future. Such conditions are already favorable enough.

The relocation of a prominent family is not that simple, it involves the transfer of overall property.

If Jiang Feng dares to open this mouth, it means that the property of the Yuchi family can be protected under the rule of Xuzhou, and even some privileges can be obtained in the future. Of course, this requires the third sister to firmly tie Jiang Feng's line.
