"In this case, Xiwen, you should prepare for the handover and go to Guilin County to take up your post on a certain day!"

At the same time that Ouyang Shuo decided on the candidate for the county guard of Guilin, he had already planned to replace Fan Zhongyan as the county guard of Wuzhou, and he was the deputy of Cui Shouhei, the current guard of Mulan Yue in Zhen'an County. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cui Shousi is the Cui family, the first civil official close to Shanhai City after Cui Yingyu, successively served as the county commander, prefect and other important positions, and assisted Mulan Yue to govern Zhen'an County for a year.

Now, Cui Shousi finally ushered in the opportunity to be promoted, and was officially promoted to the county guard, and at the same time, Cui Shousi is also the first aboriginal county guard cultivated by Shanhai City, which is of great significance.

If there is no big accident, Cui Shousi will be the end of the county guard, and it is almost impossible to go further. After all, there is still a big gap compared with historical civil officials like Fan Zhongyan.

At the same time, Cui Shousi's promotion also helped to balance the negative impact of Song Wen's promotion to Jiaozhou County Guard. The Cui family and the Song family can continue to go hand in hand and compete with each other.

Among them, the political skill is not enough for outsiders.

"No!"

Fan Zhongyan got up and saluted respectfully, and a trace of waves inevitably rose in his heart. Being able to take over as the county guard of Guilin is undoubtedly a milestone victory for Fan Zhongyan.

How keen Ouyang Shuo was, especially after cultivating the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" to the eleventh layer, Ouyang Shuo found that his grasp of people's hearts and control of people's emotions rose to a new height.

To put it bluntly, it's mind reading.

This is a mysterious feeling, Ouyang Shuo naturally can't read what others are thinking, but he can keenly perceive the mood fluctuations of others, even the slightest trace can't escape his perception.

It is precisely because of this that since Ouyang Shuo returned from his ocean voyage, the military generals of Shanhai City have become more and more restrained and cautious when reporting to him.

The reason for this is that they feel that their every move, every thought and thought cannot escape the eyes of the king. In this way, how can you not be honest and fearful.

Undoubtedly, this is also a unique "skill" of kings.

Next, the two of them talked secretly in the study until dinner time, and then it came to an end.

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

At about seven o'clock in the evening, Ouyang Shuo stayed in the small courtyard.

The breeze blows, and the osmanthus flowers are fragrant all over the city, which is intoxicating. At night, Chiyou City is no longer hot during the day, and the cool night breeze makes people's minds shake.

Such a night is an excellent time for the clan to talk.

During the day, the schedule was full, and Ouyang Shuo didn't have time to meet with the barbarian patriarchs. In the evening, the four most influential patriarchs were finally invited to the small courtyard for a talk.

Because it was not a formal conversation, Ouyang Shuo simply ordered to set up drinks in the courtyard pavilion. The special osmanthus cake is soft and delicious; The territory's specialty, Sanhua wine, is even more mellow.

When it comes to Sanhua wine, it's amazing.

Because of its early popularity in Wangcheng, Sanhua wine is now a great wine in the wilderness, especially after the improvement of the brewmaster, the taste is more and more mellow, and it has become a business card of Shanhai City.

This time to win Guilin County, will vigorously develop the local brewing industry, after all, no matter how good the spring water in the Lianzhou Basin is, it is not as good as the authentic landscape of Guilin.

The local wine made in Guilin is sure to make people even more addicted.

There was only a round stone table in the pavilion, Ouyang Shuo sat on the top, and the four old men sat on both sides solemnly. The barbarian atmosphere was originally extremely rude, but now it has fully understood the etiquette of the Han people.

Ouyang Shuo saw it and was dumbfounded.

Two of the four are Chiyou's brothers, who appeared in the wilderness with Chiyou and are considered to be the originators of the barbarians; The remaining two, one from the 100,000 Mountains and one from Yunnan Province.

After becoming the [Barbarian King], Ouyang Shuo knew that the Shanban clan was widely distributed in southern Xinjiang, beyond imagination. In addition to the traditional southern Sichuan province and Lingnan province, there are also Yunnan province, northern Sichuan province and Shudi.

In addition to the 100,000 mountains, Shu is the second largest gathering place of barbarians in the mountains.

The mountains gathered by Chiyou City are mainly concentrated in the 100,000 mountains, and some are from northern Sichuan Province and Yunnan Province. It's just that because the mountains are high and the roads are long, and the middle is blocked by the player's territory or the previous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there are still a large number of mountain barbarians living in the territory of the two major provinces.

"Patriarch Mu, do you still have any contact with the clansmen over there in Yunnan?" Ouyang Shuo raised his glass and asked Mu Yao, the patriarch from Yunnan Province, with a smile.

"Yes, they envy life on our side." Speaking of this, Mu Yao sighed with some emotion, "Not long ago, Lao Yu also went to Yunnan once to catch up with several old brothers in the clan. When I heard about our life in Wuzhou, I was eager to move here immediately. ”

"It's just that now that the war in Yunnan is about to start, it's not good for them to leave the old land without permission." Mu Yao said regretfully.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, "The battle in Yunnan is imminent, please inform the clansmen over there, mobilize, and be ready to cooperate with the army's actions at any time." When Yunnan is won, they will be able to live a good life. ”

"The old man will definitely convey the king's meaning in place."

"That's good."

Ouyang Shuo didn't specifically instruct, he just talked about it casually, and he didn't expect those mountain barbarians to play any role in the Yunnan War, at most, they were to be guides when attacking fortifications.

Yesterday, Ouyang Shuo received a military report that the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard Army led by Huo Quzhi and the Second Legion of the Longxiang Army led by Shi Wansui had successfully arrived at the front line.

At the same time, the Second Legion of the Praetorian Guard and the Fourth Legion of the Longxiang Army have also been reorganized. Ma Chao, Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan and other generals of the three kingdoms have finished their advanced studies and are rushing to join the troops.

The two armies immediately set off for the Yunnan battlefield.

If all goes well, the battle in Yunnan will really start in early December.

According to the report of the Black Snake Guard, the negotiations between the [Yunnan City-State] and the [Yanhuang League] have also been settled, and the [Yanhuang Alliance] has made a bloody investment this time, mobilizing 200,000 troops to support the [Yunnan City-State].

Handan City alone sent 60,000 troops.

Guilin County was taken back by Shanhai City, and the embarrassed and angry Chun Shenjun also sent 50,000 troops at one time.

Counting the 200,000 allied troops of the [Yunnan City-State], it is enough to compete with the army of Shanhai City. After all, two of the six legions of Shanhai City on this expedition have just been reorganized.

In terms of overall combat strength, the two sides basically stand on the same level.

Ouyang Shuo guessed that the changes in Guilin County were probably making up the [Yanhuang Alliance] in disguise to make up his mind to take the last chance to snipe at Shanhai City.

Now that the [Yanhuang League] has moved, Luofeng City and Stubborn Stone City's useless backhand in the Lingnan War will also appear again. Even the gift that Ouyang Shuo prepared for the [Yanhuang League] could appear in advance.

Ouyang Shuo believes that the easter eggs he prepared will definitely give [Yanhuang League] a big surprise.

The siege lion also took the initiative to communicate with Ouyang Shuo, saying that he would mobilize the army of Jiangchuan Province as much as possible, and was responsible for monitoring the [Xiangnan City-State] and Danyang City in the north.

As for Dragon Hunting City, Ouyang Shuo did not give any instructions this time, leaving it to his own decision.

In view of this, the upcoming Yunnan War is no longer a simple local war.

It is foreseeable that this epic war involving a million-strong army before and after will be the pinnacle of Gaia's three-year finale, affecting the nerves of countless people.

The outcome of this battle will be directly related to the fate of the two major alliances in China in the next year.

In view of the fact that Guilin County had been recovered and Kunming County had been officially incorporated into Shanhai City, Bai Qi readjusted his operational deployment. The six major army corps participating in the war will all be transferred to Kunming County to wait for orders.

According to the arrangement of the General Military Affairs Administration, the six major army corps were temporarily reorganized into the Western Expeditionary Army, with Bai Qi as the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, Huo Qubing as the deputy commander, and Bai Hua, the county guard of Kunming, as the senior adviser.

Even Shi Jiaxu, the governor of the Southern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, was sent by Ouyang Shuo to serve as a military advisor in the Western Expeditionary Army.

The headquarters of the Western Expeditionary Army is located in Lingxi City.

At that time, the Western Expeditionary Army is likely to be centered on Kunming County and attack from all sides, rather than a single-point breakthrough.

At the same time, in view of the subjugation of Guilin County, Shanhai City and the two major city-states were about to reach a reconciliation, and the strategic position of the withered fortress had declined sharply, the General Military Affairs Administration had recently ordered the newly formed Third Army of the Leopard Tao Army led by Feng Yi to move from the withered fortress to Zhen'an County in the west.

There is no doubt that the Third Army of the Leopard Tao Army will be the general reserve for the Battle of Yunnan.

As for the [Northern Sichuan City-State] in the north, it will be monitored by the two strongest legions of the Leopard Tao Army. Similarly, the Tiger Army will be responsible for monitoring the [Shonan City-State].

The entire battle involved almost all the armies of Shanhai City, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was the pinnacle battle of Southern Xinjiang. If this battle is won, Shanhai City will truly establish its supreme hegemony in southern Xinjiang and lay an immortal foundation for Gaia's four-year founding of the country. Otherwise, nothing to talk about.

It is precisely in this way that neither of the warring sides will attack lightly.

Just like now, the 200,000 allied troops of the [Yanhuang Alliance] have been teleported to Yunnan Province. But it is not known which city the army is teleported to, or which cities.

In view of the terrifying intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities displayed by Shanhai City in the Battle of Lingnan, Emperor Chen and the others had obviously made careful arrangements in this battle, and would never let Shanhaiwei or Black Snake Guard easily detect their whereabouts.

Even if they knew that there were still two legions in Shanhai City that had not arrived at the battlefield, they did not choose to take the initiative to attack Kunming County, where the army was gathered.

Di Chen and the others are not fools, there are four legions in Kunming County, and if they attack, they will immediately lose their geographical advantages, which is equivalent to attacking the enemy's strength with their own shortcomings.

What they have to do now is to lay countless traps in various counties and wait for the army of Shanhai City to take the bait.

Therefore, the initiative in the war is still in the hands of Shanhai City. The starting gun of the big battle has to wait for Ouyang Shuo to issue it.

And what about Ouyang Shuo now? But in Chiyou City, which is thousands of miles away from the battlefield, drinking Sanhua wine, eating osmanthus cakes, smelling the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and chatting with the four old men......
