Chapter 1015: Retreat and Concession

"What proposal?"

Di Chen said: "It is indeed difficult for some strongmen to let the Drifting Illusion and the Killing Destruction Army give up their respective territories, and the alliance should compensate for it." My suggestion is that, after taking Western Chu, promise two governors the position of governors, one in charge of the southern Anhui province and the other in the eastern province of Ludong. What do you think? ”

Chun Shenjun and the others glanced at Di Chen in surprise, according to Plan Z, the position of the governor of the two major provinces was an important bargaining chip, but they didn't expect to be sent away by Di Chen.

"Is it to buy people's hearts, or is there something else?" Chun Shenjun was a little confused.

Xiongba was very appreciative, nodded and said: "I think this proposal is good, so I will simply let Piao Linghuan be the governor of southern Anhui, and kill the army as the governor of Ludong." ”

Di Chen's eyes froze, as if he had seen through Xiongba's thoughts, and did not say anything against it. The alliance is intricately intertwined, and it is no easy task to be a good leader.

Many times, Dichen has to compromise.

Seeing that Chun Shenjun and the wolf warrior did not have a clear objection, Di Chen was not verbose, and directly said: "Then the matter is settled, the front-line war is tight, and it can't be delayed any longer." ”

"Good!"

So far, the [Yanhuang League] has resolved a big crisis by cutting off one of its arms.

…………

After the discussion was over, the Killer Army and the Drifting Illusion returned to their respective territories and quickly got busy.

Since they decided to give up their territory, they naturally wouldn't let Daxia and Luofeng City pick up cheap, and they took everything they could take away, and all the fires they couldn't take away were burned.

Money, equipment, civil and military generals, high-level skilled personnel, troops, etc., were all taken away through the teleportation array, and these were also the things they relied on to gain a foothold in the province in the future.

Archives such as grain and grass, household registration books, and yamen materials were all burned, with the intention of disgusting the enemy.

In just two days, before the Eagle Yang Army and the Flame Army could reach the main city, Fallen Leaf City and Shura City completed their evacuation and fled.

At this point, the number of lords in the Chinese region was reduced again, and only six remained.

There is an army of 160,000 people who have killed and broken the army and brought by the drifting illusion, and the battle of Western Chu is irreversible, even if Xiang Yu is brave and fierce, the Xiang family army is like a wolf and a tiger, and it has to kneel in front of a total of 760,000 allied troops.

The fall of Western Chu was only a matter of time.

…………

On April 18, the Eagle Yang Army entered Fallen Leaf City, and the Flame Army entered Shura City, announcing that the Kansai Province had changed hands, and the [Shanhai League] did not spend a single soldier and bit off a piece of fat on the [Yanhuang League].

Ouyang Shuo's methods of turning the clouds and rain are really amazing, and what makes players puzzled is why Daqin and Datang did not intervene in this war?!

Even if the two dynasties have always been friendly with Great Xia, they will not be indifferent.

"There must be something hidden in this!"

The next plot made players suddenly realize that at the same time, they were also shocked.

On the day of taking the two main cities, Great Xia chose to unconditionally transfer the territory of Fallen Leaf City to the Tang Dynasty, and Luofeng City chose to unconditionally transfer the territory of Shura City to the Great Qin Empire.

It is equivalent to saying that Ouyang Shuo and Phoenix Prisoner have given away the fat meat in their hands again.

"Weird!"

Great Xia is rich all over the world and has a vast territory, so it may not be very distressing to send out the land of the two counties, but the question is why Luofeng City, which only has one province of land, is so generous this time?!

Players are quite puzzled.

There are all kinds of speculations on the forum, there are conspiracy theories, fool theories, and even erotic theories......

If you really want to sort it out, I'm afraid it can be made into a big drama.

The truth of the matter is actually very simple, and it is not as complicated as the outside world speculates.

Ouyang Shuo teamed up with Phoenix Prisoner to play this hand, and there were three main reasons.

First, if the Tang Dynasty and Daqin were not appeased in advance, this battle of Kansai might not happen.

Without the credentials signed before, there is no reason why Daqin and Datang should not accept the asylum applications of Shura City and Fallen Leaf City, whether it is Qin Shihuang or Tang Taizong, they are all heroic lords of the world, and they will never be emotional.

And once the two dynasties intervene, with the troops that Great Xia can mobilize, they may not be able to take the Guanxi Province. If you really want to fall into the quagmire of war, Great Xia, who is fighting on two fronts, may not even be able to retreat with its whole body.

That would only be self-defeating, sending Fallen Leaf City and Shura City into the camp of the two major dynasties.

If that's the case, Daxia can still withstand it, and the days of Luofeng City will be difficult, not only unable to snatch food from Daqin's mouth, but also worsening the relationship between them.

Counting Mongolia in the north, Handan City in the east and the Han Dynasty in the south, Luofeng City will fall into the embarrassing situation of being enemies on all sides, and the situation is worrying.

Unless Great Xia helps, the future Luofeng City will be a dead end, and with the personality of the phoenix, how can he be willing to merge into Great Xia like this.

This knot is almost impossible to unravel.

Second, there is a great deal of uncertainty in Wangcheng.

There were already three royal cities in Great Xia, which had become a thorn in Ouyang Shuo's heart. Fortunately, neither Dali, nor Chengdu, nor even Dasui are too strong opponents.

With the background of Great Xia, Ouyang Shuo can still hold it.

But who are the two lords entrenched in Kansai, one is Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, and the other is Tang Taizong, the "Heavenly Khan", neither of them is a lord to mess with, not to mention that there are two in a province.

In the past two years, Gaia has loosened the ties on Wangcheng again and again, who can guarantee that Gaia will not give Wangcheng greater autonomy in the future?!

Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to take this risk, and the phoenix prisoner didn't dare to, in the case of not being able to destroy the royal city, the best way was to form an iron-blooded alliance with them.

Third, the threat from Mongolia.

As the most powerful BOSS of foreign tribes in China, the strength of the Mongolian tribe is too amazing, not to mention that Luofeng City is difficult to support alone, even if Great Xia wants to confront Mongolia, it has to be weighed carefully.

In this case, it is only natural to find someone to carry it along.

The Great Qin Empire directly borders Mongolia, has a million male soldiers, and is really not afraid of the Mongolian tribes, and forming an alliance with the Great Qin is really a very cost-effective deal.

Based on the above considerations, under Zhang Liang's point, Ouyang Shuo decisively took a step back.

This retreat will open the sea and the sky.

Great Xia and Luofengcheng signed non-aggression pacts with Great Qin and Datang respectively, stabilizing the border in one fell swoop, and adding two more reliable allies.

As for whether Daqin and Datang will go to war in the future, it is not within Ouyang Shuo's consideration.

With the help of Gaia's sanctioned covenant, Luofeng City completely eliminated the threat from the west, and in the future, it could also use the power of the Great Qin Empire when fighting against the Mongols, and the surrounding security situation was greatly improved.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo took this opportunity to cut off the arm of the [Yanhuang League] in one fell swoop, so that the results of the [Yanhuang League's] actions in Western Chu were greatly reduced, which was really cost-effective.

Moreover, this time he sold Daqin and Datang a big favor, and Daxia and Luofeng City also had their own returns. Ouyang Shuo got Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty who dreamed of help, and Phoenix Prisoner got Meng Yi and Meng Tian brothers.

************

April 19, Shanhai City.

On the day after Great Xia transferred the territory of Deciduous Leaf City, according to the agreement, Li Jing took his family to Shanhai City and put it under Ouyang Shuo's command.

Ouyang Shuo got the report and personally greeted him at the gate of the palace.

Li Jing, who appeared in the wilderness, was nearly fifty years old, but his spirit was strong and strong, his posture was upright, and although his face was a little wooden, he was wise and foolish, and no one dared to despise him.

Speaking of Li Jing, the most legendary folk story is the transformation of Li Jing into the King of Tota in "The Romance of the Gods" and became a mythical figure.

In fact, this rare all-rounder in history who can "enter and exit" has been "born and died" in the Tang Dynasty. It is rumored that after Li Jing's death, he often appeared to save the people from danger, so the people built temples for him, so in the late Tang Dynasty, Li Jing was gradually deified.

It can be seen from this that this Tang Dynasty military god is so famous.

"The last general, Li Jing, meet the king!" Li Jing is a person who pays great attention to the rules, and since he defected to Daxia according to the agreement, he didn't think twice about it, and visited the new lord one by one.

Of course, for Li Jing, it is not a bad thing to be able to serve under Ouyang Shuo.

[Name]: Li Jing (god level)

[Title]: God of War

[Dynasty]: Tang Dynasty

[Identity]: General of Great Xia

[Profession]: Special general

[Loyalty]: 75 points

[Commander]: 97 [Force]: 85 [Intelligence]: 82 [Politics]: 78

[Perk]: God of War (Increases troop morale by 40%, increases troop movement speed by 30%, increases troop defense by 25%, increases troop lethality by 20%)

【Writings】: The Art of Guarding the Public War

[Evaluation]: A famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Jing was promoted as the first person. Jing into the Eastern Turks, Jieli was captured, and conquered Gu Hun, Fu Yun died, outstanding achievements, brilliant banners, although there was no general Zuo Zhi Zanxiang, and the dispatch was well-organized, and finally the commander, Wei Gonggu is a master!

"General, please get up!"

Ouyang Shuo's expression was happy, "This king has been looking forward to the general for a long time, and he will get what he wants today, soon!" Hurry! ”

When Li Jing saw it, he was sure in his heart.

Seeing that the king is so important, his military career in Great Xia will not be lonely.

"This is not the place to speak, and I invite the general to come to the study to talk." Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, and personally led Li Jing towards the imperial study, wanting to have a good chat with this Tang Dynasty military god.

Li Jing didn't dare to slack off, and kept up quickly, although he was nearly fifty years old, he was agile.

The two chatted for two hours, and when the ministers of the DPRK and China got the news, they were envious, and now it is a great honor to be able to chat with the king for an hour in the imperial study.

It can be seen how much the king attaches importance to Li Jing.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Li Jing's appointment edict came out, and the edict said: "Appoint Li Jing as the commander of the Flying Bear Army, walk the military aircraft department, and receive the rank of general." ”

As soon as the edict came out, the civil and military officials gasped.

The first two items are nothing, the key is the last one, "leading to the rank of general". Prior to this, only one person in the entire dynasty was Bai Qi as a general, and Han Xin, Sun Bin, Huo Qubing and Li Mu were all second-class generals.

Shi Wansui, the commander of the city guards, is only a second-grade Zhenguo general.

No one expected that Li Jing would be on an equal footing with Bai Qi as soon as he came, and become the first-class figure in the Great Xia army.
