Chapter 437 Ekaterina is here(2/2)
As for attacking Jiaozhou, it is not a good strategy for Tongque. First of all, Jiaozhou is too far and remote. Moreover, if you capture Jiaozhou, you will directly face pressure from the Great Yue Kingdom.
...
"The Lord of Yuzhou plans to return Nanyang County to us Jingzhou and ask us to send troops to Yingchuan. What do you think?"
Jingzhou, Xiangyang, and Liu Biao asked everyone for advice.
Officials from the aristocratic families here looked at Yang Shiro at the same time.
Before Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou, Yang Shilang had already managed a relationship with the aristocratic families in Jingzhou and married the Cai family, and received support from the aristocratic families in Jingzhou.
For this reason, Yang Shiro also sacrificed a lot and made considerable compromises to the aristocratic family.
In any case, he represents the interests of the Jingzhou family.
Yang Shilang said: "regardless of whether we can successfully assist Yuzhou, Nanyang County is a member of the northern Jingzhou department, and it must be recovered. Once Chu Zi plans to conquer Hebei, our Jingzhou army will leave Nanyang and the Central Plains will be at your fingertips."
Seeing that his brother-in-law spoke, Cai Mao also advocated sending troops to Nanyang: "The Northern Expedition to the Central Plains will be accomplished!"
Liu was powerless to do anything to the alien lord who had received support from the aristocratic family. Since Yang Shilang planned to march into Nanyang County, he would just leave.
"Please lend me a loan to Liu Pan, Huang Zhong will be with me and go north together."
Yang Shilang had unified Jingbei and Jingnan, and his expansion direction was limited. He attacked Nanyang northward, Bashu upstream, and Jiangdong downstream.
The terrain of Bashu is dangerous, and it will take at least two or three years to capture Bashu.
There is a Beifu Army in Jiangdong, and it is difficult for Yang Shiro to win.
There are changes in the Central Plains, and he wants to get involved.
Yang Shiro is different from Liu Biao.
When Liu Biao came to Jingzhou alone, he had to rely entirely on the power of the aristocratic family.
But Yang Shilang is not like this. He has his own team, including Han Shizhong, Pan Mei, Wu Jie, Yang Yanzhao and others.
He had a higher control over Jingzhou than Liu Biao.
After Liu Biao had been pacifying Jingnan for a long time, Yang Shilang could soon suppress it. Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong and the four generals of Jiangdong were driven away by him.
If you have Jingzhou, you can wait for the changes in the Central Plains, and now is the time when the changes begin.
"The Lord of Yanzhou, Chu Zi, must have all preparations for the preparation of food and grass to attack Yuzhou, and Duke Ming still needs to wait for a better opportunity."
A young strategist stopped Yang Shiro.
"There is no need for more words in Yuanzhi. I should be cautious in this Northern Expedition. Bashu and Jiangdong have no time to take care of Jingzhou, which is the opportunity to occupy Nanyang. If the Yuzhou Muslim was defeated, he could still use it for me."
Yang Shilang not only coveted Nanyang, but also coveted the military generals who spoke of Tang.
After returning to the main world, these princes were more cruel than the other and used each other.
"I'm afraid it won't be that smooth..."
The young Xu Yuanzhi was not optimistic about the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.
"Can Yuan Zhi follow me to Nanyang and see the soldiers in the Central Plains?"
Yang Shiro decided to bring Xu Shu with him.
Xu Shu was still a poor disciple who had just fled to Jingzhou and was just starting out. According to his age, Xu Shu was older than Zhuge Liang.
As a native of Yingchuan, Xu Shu was somewhat moved by the march into Yingchuan: "I would like to follow Ming Gong."
"Okay, with Yuan Zhi as the military advisor, he might be able to stop Chu Zimou."
Yang Shilang didn't dare to say that he could defeat Chu Tian. He believed that if the troops of Jingzhou and Yuzhou were combined, it would be no problem to just block Chu Tian.
The other princes would never sit idly by and watch Chu Tian annex Yuzhou.
Any strange prince has an understanding of the Three Kingdoms. Chu Tian is the enhanced version of Cao Cao. He owns the most fertile land in the Han Empire and allows Chu Tian to dominate the Central Plains. It is conceivable what the consequences will be.
"I'm going to use the God-arm bow this time."
"The prefects of Jingnan are not our opponents. I hope to meet decent opponents when we arrive in the Central Plains."
Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Pan Mei and other military generals heard that their lord planned to enter Nanyang and intervene in the Central Plains, and they were all ready to go.
During their service for Yang Shilang, they wiped out separatist forces in Jingzhou, unified Jingzhou, and made great achievements. The local Jingzhou families were all afraid of their reputation.
The only thing that can make the aristocratic family surrender is military merits, so they have made great contributions to the master.
Liu Yu, who was born into a poor gentry in Jiangzuo, even overthrew the Jin Dynasty and became the emperor with his military achievements.
The army of Jingzhou began to gather in Xiangyang, and their targets were Xinye and then Wancheng.
The spy set up by Chu Tian in Xiangyang quickly reported the movements of the Jingzhou army to Xiacheng.
"I didn't expect that Jingzhou also wanted to interfere in the Central Plains."
Chu Tian was somewhat surprised to learn about this news.
Although Nanyang County belongs to Jingzhou, in the eyes of Chutian, Nanyang County is also part of the narrow Central Plains.
In a broad sense, the Central Plains refer to the entire China, and in a narrow sense, the Central Plains refer to Henan.
"Is Zheng Zhilong in Huang County, Qingzhou now? Let him go back to Xiacheng to see me."
Chu Tian recalled Zheng Zhilong from Fubo Legion.
