The old man in gray clothes obviously disagrees with his master's opinion, but seeing that his master was in a good mood at this time, he was not good at discouraging his enthusiasm, so he had to say tactfully: "Your Highness, you must not underestimate this Cheng Dayou. This guy has a far-reaching scheming. He has been dealing with all forces for so long and has never been willing to make a clear statement. However, when His Highness and the Seventh Highness suddenly announced their surrender to Situ Lang. This opportunity was very good. Then he recruited troops in the name of the orthodox empire, and expanded his army with ulterior motives. Now he has entered Huzhou again. I heard that this guy secretly colluded with the Taihu water bandits and was preparing to recruit Taihu water bandits and form his own independent naval army. His ambition is great."

"Oh? Where did this news come from? Is it accurate?" Situ Tai was surprised and asked quickly. He thought that Cheng Dayou just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to gain more benefits, and fortunately, the general trend had already been fixed to make more bargaining weights. Unexpectedly, this guy actually tried to form a navy army, and the meaning contained there was different.

"It has not been implemented yet, but it is a fact that he had contact with the second leader of Taihu Water Bandit Kuang Tianbiao. Kuang Tianbiao appeared in the city guarding palace of Huzhou City. This was obviously an invitation from Cheng Dayou. It can be seen that the Taihu Water Bandit was incorporated by Cheng Dayou. Cheng Dayou would have a naval army that traverses the inland river area, and its combat effectiveness is very strong. Thinking about Cheng Dayou's help from Taihu Water Bandit, which has not been able to be wiped out for more than ten years, would make up for his original weakness. If we want to march into Huzhou, we need to be cautious." Leng Qian, as Situ Tai's chief adviser, Situ Tai's intelligence system is also in his hands, so sometimes he is more aware of the changes in the situation than Situ Tai.

Situ Tai was a little dissatisfied with Leng Qian's admiration for the combat effectiveness of Taihu Water Bandits. Although the combat effectiveness of Taihu Water Bandits is not weak, they mainly rely on the complex and changing water conditions and geographical environment of Taihu Lake to deal with the Imperial River Water Army. If they really want to fight face to face with the Imperial River Water Army, they are definitely not the opponent of the Imperial River Water Army.

"Old Leng, just a Taihu water bandit is probably not enough to change the power comparison, right? Even if Cheng Dayou controls Huzhou, can we compete with the strength of the two places? I think Cheng Dayou will not be so arrogant, right?" Situ Tai frowned and tried to speak in a calm tone.

Seeing that his master could not listen to his advice at this time, Leng Qian sighed in his heart, but now it is not the time to plan Huzhou. Weiyang is already in his hands. Songjiang has become the key to determining the ownership of the entire Jiangnan. As long as Songjiang is captured, Gusu can be reduced to the near future. The wealth of the seven prefectures in Jiangnan, Yuhang, Weiyang, Gusu and Songjiang account for seven out of ten stops. Even if they cannot take down all Jiangnan, the financial resources of these four prefectures will be enough to support the existing consumption. If Situ Lang loses Jiangnan, it will be a matter of time before the throne is lost, and his side will be invincible.

Seeing that his chief adviser stopped speaking, Situ Tai thought that his words had refuted the other party, and he felt even more happy in his heart. He laughed loudly: "Old Leng, what is the idea of ​​Liao Qichang coming to Yuhang now? Could it be that he also wants to serve me?"

"Your Highness, I don't know much about it. However, Elder Liao Qi is very cunning. He stood in the court for decades and has not fallen. Its smoothness can be seen. Now the Seventh Prince has lost his power. I think he should be able to see who is the real master of Jiangnan in his eyes. However, this guy has incited Jiangnan merchants to transfer assets to foreign enemies some time ago to prevent the war from being affected. This is very puzzling. Many of the merchants transferred their assets to Li Wufeng's territory. I doubt whether this guy has any collusion with Li Wufeng. But from the current situation, this guy seems to be very nostalgic about Jiangnan and is unwilling to leave in this situation, so I can't see the true face of this guy. Only when he comes and meets him may he figure out who this guy is." Leng Qian pondered for a moment, a little vague.

To be honest, he was indeed not very clear about Liao Qichang's thoughts. He said that he was connected with the northwest, but the northwest was too far away, and it seemed that his brothers and sisters had not yet reached Jiangnan. Moreover, he was still staying in Jiangnan under this situation and was still on the way to Yuhang, which seemed to be different. However, this guy advocated that the rebellion in Jiangnan was about to begin and instigated Jiangnan's wealthy businessmen to transfer funds, property and personnel. This was clearly a hostile act, so at this point his actions had damaged his absolute initiative in Jiangnan's interests.

"Well, when this guy comes, I want to see how this guy, who is known as the King of Jiangnan, can justify himself. I heard that this guy has a potential in Jiangnan even surpasses Lao Qi. Although he does not have the army, both the gentry, the merchants, or the lower class people praise this guy very much. This can be regarded as a talent. If it can be used by me, it will also be of great help to appease the hearts and stabilize the rule of Jiangnan." Situ Tai shook his clothes and turned his eyes to the south again. "I don't know when the scouts will be able to repay it? What is the situation of the enemy on the front line of Songjiang? If the time is right, we might as well go straight to Songjiang to completely solve the problem of Lao Qi and the Milanese people in one battle, and it would be a break soon."

The old man in gray shirt was also considering the steps to recover Jiangnan. Weiyang and Suzhou did not have many combat-capable Jiangnan troops. They just need to send two divisions of the 13th Legion that followed the next. The key battlefield is still in Songjiang, and Milanese reinforcements are probably about to arrive. The battle in Songjiang is the key to determining the ownership of Jiangnan, which depends on how this battle is fought.

"Your Highness, I also agree to solve the Songjiang issue first. Weiyang and Suzhou can ignore it for the time being. As long as we defeat the Milanese people in one fell swoop, I think Weiyang and Suzhou will not fly out of our palms." After repeated planning, Leng Qian finally put forward his own opinions.

"Will Weiyang and Gusu be defeated by Cheng Dayou or Lao Liu?" As the matter came to an end, Situ Tai hesitated a little. Weiyang Mansion and Gusu Mansion are the main ports second only to Yuhang Mansion. If someone else takes them first, the loss will be great.

"Your Highness, so we must be quick, concentrate all our forces to completely defeat the Milanese and the Seventh Highness in a short time, and establish our image of invincibility. Cheng Dayou swallowed Huzhou is his limit. Your Highness might as well order the 13th Legion guarding Luyang and Pengcheng to pretend to be on the southern border to intimidate Huzhou. Think about it, Cheng Dayou dare not move. As for the Sixth Highness, as long as we are fast enough, I believe he has not had time to settle down in Jinhua, we can solve the problem.

In the decisive battle, with the strength in the hands of His Highness Six, I don’t think he dares to fight us head-on. His third high-ranking in the north are still eyeing him. If there is a mistake on his side, he may not be able to even Yueyang and Anshun." He knows the thoughts of these princes and princes. If he can obtain benefits without any effort and without paying the price and taking risks, he will naturally pursue them. Once they may face huge risks, they are often undecided to retreat.

"Okay, I'll send the 1st Division of the 13th Army to continue advancing along Weiyang. I will send someone to warn Lao Liu to let him know more and not to get involved in this mixed water. The 2nd Division of the 13th Army turned around and attacked Songjiang eastward, and ordered the 2nd Army to leave a direct unit to guard Yuhang Prefecture City, and all the 2nd Army went south to Songjiang. I'll teach the Milanese people who are ignorant of the sky and earth, so that Louis, the old bastard, know the price that needs to be paid to dare to intervene in the affairs of our Tanghe Empire! Leng, you stay in Yuhang, immediately issue a conscription order, and immediately form the Yuhang Guard Division!" His face changed. After a long time, Situ Tai finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from the depths of his throat. This was also the largest force he could use.

This time, the Second Army went south to Jiangnan with the Second Army as the main force, and led two divisions of the 13th Army. They easily defeated the Seventh Army in the Battle of Shaoxing. However, this time the Songjiang Battle was different. The Milanese came with power, and the Tanghe army had never fought with the Milan army before. They could only understand the combat effectiveness of their army through the usual military officers stationed in Milan and their confrontation with the Maqi Khans. However, one thing is certain, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Milanese people will definitely not be as loose as the Jiangnan army, otherwise they would not dare to speak wildly and help defend Jiangnan.

The belt was fluttering, and the thin cheeks were full of fanatical and proud confidence. Looking east, the old man couldn't help but stretched out his arms and imagined embracing the whole world. He raised his arms and shouted: "The mainland will definitely belong to us and others, and we will stand in the east of the mainland!"

The plain man standing behind him looked at his lord with concern, but he knew that his initiative at this time had no choice but to listen to any of his advice. The surrender of the Tianqiu tribe had already made the lord full of confidence, and the surrender of the shrimp man was indeed a bit too smooth. Even the initiator himself felt ten unexpected surprises.
