Cobra, the director of military intelligence, reported the latest military information to Ouyang Shuo.

When Cobra took office, it coincided with the unification of the Lianzhou Basin, and took advantage of the situation to make an adjustment to the Military Intelligence Department.

MI1 is responsible for intelligence gathering in the direction of 100,000 Mountains and Chiyou City, while MI2 is responsible for the boundary of Xunzhou, where the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is located.

The Special Operations Group is responsible for intelligence gathering at the highest level of the Military Intelligence Division. For example, the task of breaking into the interior of Chiyou City and the headquarters of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was carried out by the special operations team.

In this way, the special operations group can be regarded as a correct name in the military intelligence department, and its status is higher than that of the first and second groups.

If the Military Intelligence Department withdraws from Lianzhou County, it will truly focus on the collection of military intelligence.

For the monitoring of the existing player territories in Lianzhou County, as well as the mountain barbarian tribes and grassland tribes, Ouyang Shuo turned over to the Black Snake Guard Headquarters to be responsible.

Before the formation of the Security Division, Ouyang Shuo could only use the Black Snake Guard.

With the arrival of Cobra and the addition of a large number of former Rattlesnake members, the strength of the Military Intelligence Department has increased significantly, and the ability to gather intelligence has risen several steps.

The cobra met with Ouyang Shuo, mainly to report on the latest movements of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Chiyou City.

In four months, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebel army was like locusts, menacing, and swept the entire Xunzhou territory with an irresistible momentum.

The territory of Xunzhou has been completely occupied by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

After the capture of Xunzhou, the rebels began to build their capital, which was named Tianjing.

Historically, the rapid rise and decline of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had a lot to do with the extravagance and corruption of the high-level rebel army, especially the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan.

After the Taiping army entered Nanjing, they immediately built a large number of buildings, expanded the yamen of the governor of Liangjiang into the palace of the king of heaven, demolished a large number of private houses, and mobilized thousands of male and female laborers. In 1854, it was rebuilt on the original site, and the surrounding area was more than ten miles, the palace and forest garden, resplendent and extravagant.

Fish begins to rot from the head.

The construction of the East Wangfu is also extremely ingenious and pleasing to the eye. As for the crown shoes, clothing, honor guards and horses, etc., they are all extremely luxurious. In addition, the king of heaven also constantly selects folk show girls to enter the palace.

It is reported that Hong Xiuquan's harem has no less than 1,000 beauties.

According to Gaia's arrangement, the rest of the core group of the rebel army has no historical memory, except for the leader of the rebel army, who has a complete memory of his past life.

In other words, Gaia is opening up the leaders of the rebel army and arranging for them to be "reborn".

Therefore, learning the lessons of his previous life, when Hong Xiuquan led the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he would definitely not make a big mistake in a short period of time, but would make every effort to establish an ideal Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

After the establishment of the capital Tianjing, the rebel army began to expand outward.

Learning the lessons of his previous life, Hong Xiuquan did not wantonly crown the king, Yang Xiuqing, Shi Dakai, Xiao Chaogui and others all appeared as commanders and generals.

Hong Xiuquan sat in Tianjing and commanded in the center. The rebel army raised four large armies in the east, west, north and south, with more than 20,000 troops, known as 100,000 troops, and planned to occupy the entire territory of Guangxi in one fell swoop.

To the west, Xiao Chaogui and Feng Yunshan led their troops to attack Zhen'an.

To the north, led by Shi Dakai and Li Kaifang, they attacked Guilin.

To the east, led by Yang Xiuqing and Lin Fengxiang, they attacked Wuzhou.

To the south, two young generals, Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng, led their troops to attack Lianzhou.

The Fourth Route Army, the Western Route Army, and the Northern Route Army were overwhelming along the way, and the player territories were defeated and powerless, either surrendered or annihilated.

The rebels are like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

The lords in Guangxi have formed an alliance, and the name is still very tragic, called [Decisive Alliance]. It's a pity that in the face of the menacing rebel army, they are still defeated and retreated.

The fall of Zhen'an and Guilin is only a matter of time.

The Eastern Route Army encountered stubborn resistance from the Chiyou army.

Since the establishment of Chiyou City, Chiyou has led his troops to occupy the entire territory of Wuzhou. If the rebel army wants to invade Wuzhou, it will naturally kick to the iron plate.

Chiyou army, all elite mountain barbarian warriors.

The rebel army led by Yang Xiuqing naturally no longer has a problem dealing with ordinary player lords, but if it encounters the mountain barbarian army, the prototype will immediately appear.

The insurrectionary army, which was formed in a hurry, was no different from a peasant army except for morale and the ability of its generals, especially in terms of weapons and equipment.

The Eastern Route Army was blocked, but Yang Xiuqing was not discouraged, and simply set up the East Camp on the border between Wuzhou and Xunzhou. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Xiuqing and Lin Fengxiang began to train the army and rectify military discipline.

Chiyou City was limited to the population, and did not take the initiative to launch a provocation.

To the east, there was a stalemate.

There is also a stalemate, as well as the Southern Route Army.

In mid-April, Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng led an army of 20,000 and attacked Lianzhou in high spirits. As soon as I arrived at the mouth of the canyon, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded when I saw the giant fortress built at the mouth of the canyon.

At that time, the Mulan Fortress was still a month and a half away from completion. But the outer walls of the fortress have already been built, all that remains is the construction of the interior and defenses.

The rebel army, which did not even bring basic siege equipment, was helpless in the face of the towering fortress. In desperation, Li Xiucheng could only lead his troops to set up camp ten miles away from the fortress and set up the southern camp.

In view of the current situation, General Bai Qi has already come to Mulan Fortress to take charge. The 3rd and 4th Divisions of the Longxiang Regiment have also been stationed in the fortress.

If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom does not come, it will be enough, and if they really dare to attack, they will definitely suffer enough.

After listening to Cobra's report, Ouyang Shuo was silent.

With the strength of the Longxiang Army, it would not be too difficult to break through the Southern Route Army, take Tianjing, and then defeat the entire rebel army if they came out of the nest and took advantage of the opportunity for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to attack from all sides.

The crux of the matter is, is now really the best time to do it?

Because of the setting of the wilderness, for the lord, the land is not the most important resource, but the population and various resources are the most valuable wealth.

This is also the biggest difference between territorial warfare and real warfare.

If it was just to plunder the land, Ouyang Shuo could use the Longxiang Army to wipe out the group with an invincible army, not to mention Guangxi, even if it was Lingnan, it could be taken in one fell swoop.

The question is, what happens after you take it?

Receiving a vast and sparsely populated territory is really harmful.

Therefore, territorial warfare is a great test of a lord's ability to grasp the timing.

The war started early, and the "fruit" was not yet ripe and could not be drawn; The war started late, the enemy has already taken advantage of the situation to become bigger, and it is not easy to take it, and it is easy to raise tigers.

The emergence of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was an excellent opportunity for Ouyang Shuo.

If he lets them attack Guangxi, run Guangxi, make Guangxi's cake bigger and stronger, and finally pick the fruit, it is undoubtedly the best choice.

This is another major strategic layout proposed by Ouyang Shuo after the "Gu raising" strategy in the Lianzhou Basin, which he called the "wolf raising" strategy.

Compared with raising Gu, the difficulty of raising wolves is not to be eaten by wolves.

With the momentum of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it was a foregone conclusion that they would take Zhen'an and Guilin, and would even continue to expand outward, entering the borders of Yunnan and Guizhou.

At that time, will the Long Xiang Army alone really be able to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?

I guess it's enough to choke.

As a result, there will be a tendency to have a big tail.

However, if he attacked now, Ouyang Shuo would not be reconciled. Now that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is taken, the [Death Alliance] and Chiyou City will all benefit.

Next, it will not be easy to clean up the [Death Alliance].

There is no doubt that if he sees an opportunity, the [Death Alliance] will definitely ask for help from the [Yanhuang Alliance] and collude with each other, just like the previous Broken Blade County.

Ouyang Shuo didn't want to, every time he fought so hard.

He hoped that he would be able to occupy the entire territory of Guangxi with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is undoubtedly a good chess piece.

Therefore, in order to achieve Ouyang Shuo's strategic goals, it is difficult to not only condone the expansion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but also to ensure that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom does not get out of control, and at the same time to guard against Chiyou City.

Don't underestimate Chiyou City.

According to Cobra's report, Chiyou City alone has a standing army of 30,000, and if necessary, they can temporarily recruit 20,000 or 30,000 troops from various tribes.

The mountain barbarian tribes of the 100,000 mountains have all moved to Wuzhou.

Not only that, but other realms, scattered mountain barbarians, including Ximan, also began to gather in Wuzhou. Wuzhou has become the base camp and holy place of the barbarians.

If Chiyou City is not contained, it will also become a huge hidden danger.

There is news that Chiyou, with the support of various ministries, has prepared to establish the Jiuli Kingdom in Wuzhou.

Once the state is established, the will of the barbarians will be condensed and sublimated again.

At that time, even if the Jiuli Kingdom is captured, it is unknown whether they can tame the people of the Jiuli Kingdom like the mountain barbarian tribes can no longer be tamed.

The situation facing Shanhai City is really not optimistic.

Ouyang Shuo will not forget that he is the number one mortal enemy of Chi Youyan.

How to deal with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Chiyou City, Ouyang Shuo was in a dilemma.

Fortunately, he is not fighting alone.

After the cobra left, Ouyang Shuo immediately summoned Mulan Yue and asked her to inform Bai Qi that she would come to the base camp tomorrow through the teleportation array of Mulan City to discuss important military affairs.

**********

April 26.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Bai Qi passed through the teleportation array of Mulan Mansion and returned to Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo summoned Du Ruhui, director of military affairs, and Zhao Kuo, director of the Operations Department, to discuss the Northern Expedition with General Bai Qi. The director of military intelligence, Cobra, was allowed to attend the military meeting.

Under Ouyang Shuo's instructions, Cobra reported yesterday's information again.

After the debriefing, Cobra left directly.

The next military discussion was extremely confidential and could only be attended by Ouyang Shuo and the four of them.

Zhao Kuo has not shown any talent since he became the director of the operations department. After listening to Cobra's report, my eyes lit up.

He knew his chance to show himself had come! (To be continued.) )
