Chapter 557: The Knot of Spirit Rhino City

"Let's talk about [Yunnan City-State] again, where are its flaws?" Ouyang Shuo asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

More than half of the borders of Yunnan Province are national borders. To the north is the unopened Tubo, and the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Shu land, and the only threat is the two allies of Lingxi City and Shanhai City.

It can be said that [Yunnan City-State] has no worries.

Of course, there are pros and cons.

The superior geographical location, in turn, also limited the external expansion of the [Yunnan city-state].

Therefore, since the beginning of its formation, the [Yunnan city-state] has pursued a conservative local defense strategy. Even if it is allied with the three city-states such as the [Northern Sichuan City-State], it is for the strategic purpose of defense.

As the saying goes, if there is no desire, it is rigid.

To deal with the [Yunnan City-State], there seems to be no other way than to storm it.

At that time, Ouyang Shuo had already decided to focus next year's offensive on Yunnan Province in the west.

"There are two weaknesses [of Yunnan city-states]." Zhang Yi still talked so eloquently, "First, in the city-state, there is no strong man like Ruan Ping and Ximen Daguan. Second, [Yunnan City-State] and the other three city-states are geographically not bordering each other, and they are isolated outside the alliance. ”

Ouyang Shuo noticed that Zhang Yi was talking about weaknesses, not flaws.

Obviously, in Zhang Yi's view, [Yunnan City-State] is also a hard nut to crack.

"Ben Hou doesn't think that these two points are the weaknesses of [Yunnan City-State]." Ouyang Shuo shook his head, there were different ways to deal with this, "Looking at them individually, these two points are indeed hidden dangers. But once the two are combined, weaknesses become strengths. Isn't what a city-state outside the lonely alliance needs is the governance of philistines? Only in this way can it maintain its internal stability and not change its inherent strategy. ”

"Marquis Shengming!" Zhang Yi was impressed again.

"For [Yunnan City-State], Honglu Temple can pay a little attention. The specific strategy should be handled by Lingxi City, and we don't have to overstep the bounds. Ouyang Shuo commanded.

For Bai Hua, an ally, Ouyang Shuo still has to give him the respect he deserves.

No matter what, what really borders [Yunnan City-State] is Kunming County in Lingxi City. As for how to deal with [Yunnan City-State], I am afraid that Bai Hua also has a draft in his heart.

Therefore, Shanhai City could not go straight beyond Lingxi City and directly operate in Yunnan Province. In that case, I'm afraid it will go against the intention of Lingxi City and make it difficult for Bai Hua to do.

At most, it is also the joint action of both sides.

As for the Longxiang army stationed in the west, one is to collect intelligence, and the other is to cooperate with Lingxi City to launch a strong attack on the [Yunnan City-State] in the real battle.

Speaking of which, in the future, there will definitely be differences between the two sides on how to deal with the [Yunnan city-state].

It is reported that for the more than 90,000 prisoners of war who occupied Zhen'an County in Shanhai City and monopolized the Western Route Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there was already a trace of discord in Lingxi City.

After all, from the perspective of Lingxi City, they paid a huge sacrifice and desperately tried to stop the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Western Route Army; In the end, it seems that there is no gain except sacrifice.

On the contrary, in an ambush battle in Shanhai City, all the fruits were picked, which was too domineering.

If it weren't for the Luo Shixin Division, they would actively cooperate with Lingxi City and quickly take Kunming County, so that Lingxi City would have a place to live; This kind of dissatisfaction in Lingxi City is afraid that it will be even stronger.

For this, although Ouyang Shuo has a clear conscience, it is enough to arouse his vigilance.

Historically, too many allies have ended up parting ways because of issues of interest.

Although Ouyang Shuo believes that he and Bai Hua can manage their differences. However, the two of them are powerless to stop the thoughts and demands of the people below.

Thinking about it deeply, this is even more about the positioning of Lingxi City in the future.

Bai Hua is not Mulan Yue, and Lingxi City is not the original Mulan County, it is categorically impossible to be directly incorporated into the rule of Shanhai Ling.

After all, Lingxi City represents not only the interests of Bai Hua alone, but the interests of a group of people. Even speaking, [Qingfeng Pavilion] has entanglements of interests in it.

It's a big hassle to deal with.

"At next year's party, it's time to have a good talk with Bai Hua."

Ouyang Shuo sighed slightly in his heart.

……

Zhang Yi nodded in response, and then said: "In addition to the Lian Heng of the four major city-states, there is actually a fifth person, who has been on the periphery, eyeing Shanhai City, just like the Qi State during the Warring States Period. ”

"You mean the [Yanhuang League]?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

"For Shanhai City, [Yanhuang League] is an existence that cannot be ignored for a long time. Especially with the expansion of the territory, the conflict between the two sides will spread from indirect battle conflict to the wilderness, and face to face direct geopolitical conflict. As long as Shanhai City breaks through the blockade of the four major city-states, it will be directly confronted by Shu Di and Jingchu Province. Therefore, Weichen thought that [Yanhuang League] would never sit idly by and watch Shanhai City break through this streak. ”

Zhang Yi's words are by no means alarmist.

Previously, when Shanhai City was determined to unify the Lianzhou Basin, the [Yanhuang League] intervened.

Uniting the four major city-states and firmly curbing the expansion of Shanhai City is obviously an inevitable choice for the [Yanhuang League].

In this way, around the four major city-states, the [Shanhai League] and the [Yanhuang League], there is going to be a good fight again, but I don't know who will have the last laugh.

Passive counterattack is not Ouyang Shuo's style.

"Now that we are aware of the threat of the [Yanhuang Alliance], it is time for the Honglu Temple to take the initiative. Compared to us, the members of the [Yanhuang Alliance] are also in trouble in their respective realms. Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "There's no reason to say that let them develop leisurely, and have leisure to take care of our affairs." ”

"Understood!" Zhang Yi nodded.

"The focus is on Shura City and Fallen Leaf City, and try to stir up their relationship." Ouyang Shuo said.

Shura City, which killed the army, and the floating Fallen Leaf City, belong to the same province, and there are constraints of Xianyang City and Chang'an City in the middle, so it is really intolerable to move them.

Speaking of which, this unfinished war in the Central Plains, compared with the low-key killing army, the floating illusion can be said to be out of the limelight. I don't know how the always strong Killer Army will feel about this.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching, with the coalition of Wolf Warrior and Xionghe, the Yellow Nest army will be completely wiped out. Among the four major rebel groups, only Chen Sheng's Zhang Chu regime still stands in the wilderness.

For Chun Shenjun and Piao Ling Illusion, this is embarrassing.

Helplessly, the troops are not strong, no matter how embarrassing they are, they don't dare to act rashly.

Even Emperor Chen, seeing that the third year of Gaia was coming, he temporarily extinguished his mind of attacking Zhang Chu's hinterland. Everything has to wait until after the New Year.
