"So, what about [Shonan City-State], where are its flaws?" Ouyang Shuo asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The leader of the [Xiangnan City-State], Caiyun Zhinan, is assisted by the sage Zhang Liang, and his status is already worry-free. Coupled with the prestige established by the Battle of Guilin, in a short period of time, I am afraid that no one will be able to shake its position.

Even if Honglu Temple and Black Snake Guard want to play any tricks, I am afraid that they will be easily resolved by Zhang Liang.

Zhang Yi was still so calm, and said: "The flaws in the [Xiangnan City-State] are in Zhang Liang. ”

"Oh?"

Ouyang Shuo was surprised again, Zhang Yi was really amazing.

"Prince, how would you feel if one of your allies was one of your allies?" Zhang Yi did not answer directly, but threw out a multiple-choice question.

If you really want to follow Ouyang Shuo's ideas, then needless to say, you will naturally find a way to grab it. The problem is that it is the ordinary lords who are facing this dilemma now.

Ouyang Shuo pondered for a moment, followed the ordinary lord's train of thought, and replied, "You mean to say that the other members of the [Southern Hunan City-State] will be wary of Caiyun City because of Zhang Liang's existence?" ”

"Exactly." Zhang Yi nodded, "Historically, it was under Zhang Liang's plan that Liu Bang stood out from the princes step by step. In the battle of Guilin County, Caiyun City did not grab any substantial benefits, but it showed the great ambition of Caiyun South. ”

"An ambitious lord, and a saint-level strategist. I'm afraid that if we don't need to stir it up, there will be undercurrents surging inside the [Shonan City-State]. ”

With Zhang Liang's wisdom, he should have sensed this crux. As long as the [Shonan City-State] is guided from time to time, the soldiers will be united externally to achieve a win-win situation internally. Isn't this hidden danger self-defeating? Ouyang Shuo asked.

When the interests of both parties are aligned, hidden dangers are no longer hidden dangers.

"Marquis Shengming!" When Zhang Yi heard this, he was deeply convinced by the keen cognition of the prince, and then changed his words and said: "It's just that the prince thinks about it, what exist around the province of southern Hunan. ”

When Ouyang Shuo heard this, he recalled the geography of southern Xinjiang.

To the north of the southern Hunan province is the Jingchu province where Chunshenjun is located; To the east, is the northern Sichuan province where the Black Lion City is located; to the south, it is the Lingnan Province and the South Sichuan Province; To the west, it is the Shu land where the northern Sichuan province and Fengqingyang are located.

Jingchu Province in the north and Shu in the northwest are the traditional spheres of influence of the [Yanhuang League]. In the case of having already formed a grudge with the [Mountain and Sea Alliance], Caiyun City categorically did not dare to provoke the [Yanhuang Alliance] again.

The [Lingnan City-State] in the south and the [Northern Sichuan City-State] in the west are the current allies of the [Shonan City-State], and there is no reason to launch an attack on the two places.

As for the southern Sichuan province where Shanhai City is located, Han Xin led the Leopard Tao Army to guard the withered fortress, even if it was to borrow Caiyun City's courage, they did not dare to cross the line.

The only possibility is the northern province of Sichuan to the east.

First, the northern Sichuan province is the sphere of influence of the [Shanhai Alliance], and there is no psychological obstacle to attack. Second, the influence of Black Lion City in the northern Sichuan Province is limited, and it is not enough to dominate one side, so there is an opportunity.

Looking at it this way, the northern province of Sichuan is an opportunity for Caiyun City.

"Black Lion City is in trouble?" Ouyang Shuo's expression was solemn.

"It's a crisis, but it's also an opportunity." Zhang Yi said, "If the siege lion lord is clever enough, he can use the invasion of the [Shonan City-State] to truly integrate the power of the northern Sichuan Province." The confrontation between the two major provinces, coupled with the covert support of Shanhai City, Caiyun City wants to make contributions, but I am afraid it will not be so easy. ”

Ouyang Shuo came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Do you mean to say that the focus of Honglu Temple to deal with [Xiangnan City-State] is not in southern Hunan, but in northern Sichuan?" ”

"Marquis Shengming!" Zhang Yi said goodbye.

"It's okay, just think of it as a plan for the future, let's lay it out in advance!" Ouyang Shuo nodded, which was regarded as approving Zhang Yi's strategy, but a hint of elusiveness flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi didn't dare to say more.

Ouyang Shuo didn't mention it, and asked instead: "What about the [Northern Sichuan City], talk about your opinion." ”

Around the territory, the most uncomfortable thing for Ouyang Shuo was the north.

Without it, it is only because there are two major provinces in the north that join forces to rule Shanhai City.

The battle of Guilin undoubtedly proved that the two provinces cooperated tacitly and were intimate. Coupled with the liaison hub of Guilin County, it is even more uncomfortable.

With Zhang Liang's cleverness, he will only strengthen the cooperation between the two provinces, and will not cause additional collisions.

Therefore, it is even more difficult to separate the two city-states.

In this regard, Zhang Yi has his opinion, and said with a smile: "The flaw of [Northern Sichuan City-State] lies precisely in the alienation of its north-south interests, and it cannot truly achieve convergence. ”

"How?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

"The province in the north of Sichuan, the north is connected to Shudi, and the south is adjacent to Shanhai City. On both the north and the south, there are broad borders. For the lords of the northern Sichuan Province, compared to Shanhai City, the threat of Shu is greater. Zhang Yi said, "The battle of Guilin, the northern lord of the northern province of Sichuan Province did not participate in the war, which is a strong proof. ”

"Shudi? You mean Swordsman City? Ouyang Shuo asked again.

"Not bad. The swordsman city of Feng Qingyang is located in the southernmost part of Shudi, only a stone's throw away from the northern Sichuan province. Zhang Yi replied, "Originally, Shu Land covers an extremely wide area, larger than the two northern Sichuan provinces, and the Swordsman City can expand into the interior of Shu Land. Unfortunately, the mountains and forests of Shu are dense, and the roads are rugged and steep, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

"Therefore, it is difficult for Swordsman City to expand into the interior of Shudi. Compared with the difficult interior of Shudi, the northern Sichuan Province that is close in front of you is naturally a better choice for Swordsman City. ”

"I see." Ouyang Shuo suddenly said, "In this way, Swordsman City has done us a great favor." ”

After Zhang Yi mentioned this, Ouyang Shuo thought more and further.

Inside the [Yanhuang League], compared to Di Chen and others, Feng Qingyang is the one who is not interested in fighting for hegemony.

Helplessly, Feng Qingyang is the heir of the family, shouldering the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the family, even if he does not fight for hegemony, he must expand his territory appropriately.

Otherwise, if Emperor Chen and others were in charge of the Swordsman City, the northern part of the northern Sichuan Province would have been at peace for a long time.

"You say, is it possible for us to form a secret alliance with the lords of the northern Sichuan Province." Ouyang Shuo glanced at Zhang Yi and asked with a smile.

"Dissatisfied with the princes, they are exactly what Weichen is looking forward to, and the basis for leveraging the momentum of the horizontal." Zhang Yi looked calm and said, "As long as they are leveraged, they can disrupt the [Northern Sichuan City-State], and then provoke the [Southern Hunan City-State]." In this way, the enemy's momentum will be broken. ”

Ouyang Shuo listened, but was noncommittal.
