"Brother Zhuang, the battle for the throne seems a little far away for us. For us, strengthening our own strength is the most important thing. As you said, the battle for the throne in the imperial capital will not end soon, which will bring The aftermath will also plunge the empire into serious chaos. In my opinion, this is more beneficial to us." The strong man wiped his cheeks nonchalantly, obviously they had been discussing this issue for a long time.
"That's natural. With your current strength, you don't have the strength to fully participate in this game, but we can make full use of the opportunity brought by this battle for the throne and advance according to our established plan. Since Situ Biao is determined to go north to fight for the throne , that Situ Jun will definitely become an insurmountable obstacle for him. Based on my own calculations, Situ Biao's offensive against Situ Jun will soon start, otherwise Situ Biao will have to fight us. Judging from the recent intelligence, Situ Biao is also actively preparing." Another thin black man with a short beard did not dare to be lonely and immediately answered Tian Jinbao's words, his tone full of strong confidence.
"In view of the fact that the Machi Khans were in a confrontation with Li Wufeng and the Lin family's coalition forces in Sanjiang and contained a large number of troops. Now Li Wufeng has peacefully captured Kutdam in the eastern part of the Sulawesi Principality, which directly threatens Ronisia. The Machi Khans cannot yet Instead of strengthening the deployment of troops in Ronisia, the Milanese are also conducting exercises in the eastern border area, which also ties up the hands and feet of the Machi Khans. Therefore, from a practical point of view, the Machi Khans no longer have the strength to use troops externally in the near future. It is equivalent to untying the rope for Situ Biao, who has been held back by the Machikhans, allowing him to launch his northern offensive unscrupulously. I also doubt that Li Wufeng still retains a considerable garrison in Sanjiang and the Indochina Peninsula. The purpose, especially the stationing of two divisions in the eastern part of the peninsula where the situation has completely calmed down, directly threatened the Machi Khan's control of Southern Romania, forcing the Machi Khan to attack Southern Romania. The addition of a corps of garrison was clearly intended to contain the strength of the Machikhans, and when we think of Li Wufeng and Situ Biao teaming up to recover Baling, this is very meaningful."
"Then according to Brother Jiao's intention, Li Wufeng definitely supports Situ Biao and Situ Tai in their fight for the throne?" Cheng Dayou's eyes flashed faintly, and this question was also quite meaningful.
"No, Li Wufeng's strategy should be said to be very realistic and clever. He supports and supports the weak to confront the strong, and uses the weak to consume the strength of the strong. At present, Situ Tai's military strength and support among the upper echelons of the imperial capital far exceed Situ Biao, Situ Biao just has some foundation in Wuhu. I guess that if Li Wufeng wants Situ Biao to have the strength to fight Situ Tai, he can only support Situ Biao to annex Situ Jun. It happened that Situ Jun invaded Jincheng last time to plunder Food is now trapped in a corner of Huanggang, morale is low, and it is already in a desperate situation. It is a good time to annex Situ Jun's power. If Situ Biao can get this power, he can make a big splash, not only adding more than 100,000 troops, but also Taking advantage of the opportunity to go north can be said to kill two birds with one stone, and Li Wufeng just happened to let Situ Tai and Situ Biao compete with each other, and he reaped the benefits." The thin black man surnamed Jiao shook his head and smiled, and gently explained his views.
"Then Situ Biao and Situ Tai can't see Li Wufeng's little calculation, right?" Cheng Dayou leisurely picked up the tea cup and took a sip, chewing it carefully before saying.
"Haha, sir, of course Situ Tai and Situ Biao can detect it, but in their current position, it is difficult to get off the tiger. No matter if one of them, Situ Tai or Situ Biao, ascends to the throne, the other will soon face disaster. After Situ Tai won the throne, he naturally would not tolerate the fertile land of the Five Lakes being outside his control. With Situ Tai's military strength and his orthodox status, it should be expected that he would win the Five Lakes; and if Situ Biao became the emperor, Donghai and Jiangnan, which were originally hostile to Situ Tai, would immediately change their banners. Even if Yanyun could withstand it for a while, it would be just a last resort. Now they can only bite the bullet and rush forward. The only hope is to be able to Defeat the opponent in the shortest time and at the lowest cost, thereby unifying the Central Plains, and use the material resources of the Central Plains to come up with other strategies." The man surnamed Jiao had already expected that the other party would ask this question, and explained calmly.
"And from my own point of view, Li Wufeng has not yet made up his mind whether he should march eastward to the Central Plains while the two are fighting for the throne. However, with the wisdom of Li Wufeng and his subordinates, he should be able to see that it is not the best time yet. At the right time, although the power of the Situ family has declined, its foundation among the people still exists, and the most suitable time to take action is to let Situ Tai and Situ Biao fight until the end."
"Brother Jiao, in your opinion, what should we do now?" Whale King Tian Jinbao finally couldn't hold himself back.
"Hehe, Li Wufeng is a fisherman, so why shouldn't you be a fisherman?" The man surnamed Jiao said with a sly smile on his lips, "What you have to do now is to put down your troops and troops, wait for the flowers to bloom and bear fruit, and wait for the time to come. If Situ Tai has the upper hand, then your Excellency will send troops south to seize Wenning Jinhua in Anqing. If Situ Biao gets the upper hand, how can the sacred land of Jiangnan and East China Sea fall into the hands of others? If the two sides are evenly matched, then Your Excellency will choose which one Those who are easy to plot make plans. In short, it is just two sentences, adding insult to injury and taking advantage of the situation. This is what you need to do." When the scribe named Jiao said these words, his expression did not change at all.
"But if we seize food from the tiger's mouth like this, how can the winning side not tolerate us and take advantage of the victory to attack us?" Whale King Tian Jinbao's insight on this strategic level is still slightly inferior.
"Haha, Brother Tian, if we don't do this, then the winner will let us go? That's a joke. Master Cheng is in the core area of the empire, no more remote than Li Wufeng who lives in the western border. No matter who gets the central power , it is always a matter of time to attack the adults. If you still have the idea of peaceful coexistence, then the time of becoming a prisoner can be counted. What's more, the victorious party will pay more attention to the threat of Li Wufeng. Li Wufeng will never allow a strong and unified central government to exist. In other words, when Situ Tai or Situ Biao perish, it will be the day when Li Wufeng's troops enter the Central Plains."
"Brother Jiao means that we can use the opportunity when the winner between Situ Tai and Situ Biao confronts Li Wufeng to strengthen our own strength and become the final participant?" The thin scribe smacked his lips, savoring the unfinished meaning of the other party's words.
"Yes, with your current strength, you can only strive to be the last participant. If the decisive battle between Li Wufeng and the winner can cause both sides to lose, then we still have a chance. If it is one-sided, then we can only rely on these It’s just about using capital to get better opportunities to advance.”
The words of the scholar surnamed Jiao suddenly silenced everyone in the cabin. Such planning can only win a better opportunity for promotion. It is no wonder that some people can't accept it. Rather than being restricted by others, it is better to be like this now. They seem to be at ease, but when the situation is over, will the final king tolerate the existence of such an independent force? The words of the other party are very harsh and sharp, but they are extremely realistic. The answer is of course no, this is what Cheng Dayou is It couldn't be clearer, it would be the same if it were me.
Seeing that his words made everyone's expressions darken, the scholar surnamed Jiao didn't care. If he couldn't see through the situation, then this group of people could only be said to be better than a bunch of drunkards and rice bags, and there was no need for him. It would be better to waste time with these guys and find a way out as soon as possible.
Fingers gently tapped rhythmically on the armrest, Cheng Dayou once again fell into deep thought. It seemed that he was right this time. Jiao Wenjun was worthy of being Jiao Wenjun. There are indeed many people who can be worthy of Tian Jinbao's high regard. Based on real materials, just because he dares to point out his chances of winning or losing to his face, he can be called an extremely talented and amazing person. Cheng Dayou knows his own power better than anyone else, although he holds the power of two palaces. The land has more than 100,000 elite soldiers under his command. If it were not for Li Wufeng, he might still be able to perform well in this land. But with Li Wufeng by his side, I am afraid that he can only perform as a more eye-catching supporting role. The real protagonist will never be yourself.
Jiao Wenjun was also carefully observing the man opposite him. He felt a little regretful. It should be said that the man was a genius military strategist. He could grow from a small role in the Taiping Rebellion to an important vassal town in the hinterland of the empire. In addition to opportunities, this In addition, he relies more on the opponent's own keen sense of smell and ability to assess the situation. Of course, his excellent military ability also allows him to control a group of rogue generals who are absolutely loyal to him. This is also the solid foundation for his success, but Not everyone can become the protagonist on the stage in every era and every region. Maybe he can continue to play the leading role in Wuhu and Jiangnan in the next one or two years, but in the entire empire and the entire eastern continent, On a big stage, he had to give way to some more dazzling generals.
He raised his head and met the other party's complicated eyes. Cheng Dayou couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that the eminent monk's enlightenment a few days ago had no effect. He still valued success or failure too much. However, the current situation was chaotic and unclear. , as long as he works hard to manage and arrange, there is not no chance. Although Li Wufeng is strong, he believes that Situ Tai and Situ Biao are not weak. The ones who can win are not just ordinary people, but the Kaman people who are watching with eagerness. If they are Japanese, they will also want to win. Taking the opportunity to stir up some trouble in this troubled water will make people look forward to it more and more. As long as you participate in such a dazzling drama, what if you fail
Jiao Wenjun's eyes as bright as the morning star seemed to penetrate into the depths of Cheng Dayou's soul, and a feeling of sympathy slowly surged in his heart. Whether it was the protagonist or the supporting role, as long as it had been brilliant, that was enough. A person's success depends on God, so why can't I help him try to defy God's will
