It didn't take much time for Sean to temporarily stabilize Kazi and Soma.

For these two talents, Sean has no intention of letting go, so it is impossible for him to let either of these two people go. Because only the addition of these two people can just fill the huge gap in the extremely vacant internal affairs talents in his territory - even if Neil is powerful, he can't understand the situation in all his territories very thoroughly, because government management is not comparable to military co-ordination, these are completely two concepts.

And now, in Sean's territory, there are only two people in internal affairs, Neil and Ruud.

At present, because the situation of the Dye Territory is relatively stable, there is no need to invest too much energy, so this territory is currently managed by Rud, after all, he was originally the lord of the Dye Domain. But after taking the Yederby Territory and driving out Rob's guy who can only talk on paper and the old Baron Yederby, because of the large-scale divestment and the withdrawal of the Chamber of Commerce in the Yederby Territory, the territory was already on the verge of danger, and if it weren't for Alfred and Rena's strong suppression, the territory would have rioted a long time ago.

But if Sean wants to send Neil over to stabilize the situation, it will indeed be a bit of a fuss, because now Neil is in charge of planning a new economic policy system for the entire territory, which is the money-swallowing project that he and Ruud have hatched. Therefore, Sean immediately thought of Soma and Kazi, who were captured alive by him before, with Soma's real materials, it was completely difficult to manage the Yedby Collar well, after all, he was the actual manager of the entire Tinchiin Collar before.

It is important to know that the Tinchiin Territory is a county with an extremely large territory, almost equal to the Dar Domain, the Chiraf Domain, the Yedbi Territory, and half of the Panda Territory combined. With such a vast area, Soma can manage it in an orderly manner. So a mere Yadeby barony, isn't that a matter of being caught? Moreover, the situation of Yederby's territory is also the richest of all Sean's current territories, so he is very concerned about this territory.

Otherwise, how could someone like Soma, who could manage an entire county, be thrown into this small barony?

As for Kazi, Sean only said it nicely, and he certainly wouldn't really throw him to Burbis. Sean is preparing to let Kazi take over the affairs of the Dai Territory, and then send Ruud to the Berbice Territory, he believes that with Baron Berbis's governance of this territory over the years, the people's will definitely not be lower than the old Baron Yadeby, he just drove away the old Baron Yadeby. The whole Yederby Collar almost rioted, and Sean of course had to be fully prepared before he attacked Burbis.

So he chose to appease these two people for the time being.

If these two people are really unwilling to take refuge, of course, Sean will not let them go, even if he doesn't kill these two people, he will definitely imprison these two people forever. Because of people like this. Any lord who gets it is a kind of strength enhancement, and after letting them go, who knows if Lu Dao will be invited back by his enemies. Sean didn't want to watch his potential future enemies grow.

So after arranging for the two to go to rest. Sean came to William, because William seemed to have something to say to him.

"What's the situation?" As soon as he entered the door of the conference room, Sean spoke.

"Something is wrong with Burbis Collar." William said in a deep voice.

"What's wrong?" Sean frowned slightly.

"The Burbis Collar and the Yedby Collar were both involved in the coalition operation against us more than a year ago, and they were both very costly in that war." William opened his mouth and said simply, "That's why this time we invaded the Yederbi Territory so quickly and safely. Originally, the situation in Burbis Collar should have been the same. ”

Hearing this, Sean immediately realized the problem: "Has the situation changed?" ”

"Yes." William nodded, his voice a little more serious, "The closest to the Berbice Territory is the territory controlled by the Dabion Rogan family. This is a Marquis of Real Power, who is a supporter of the Howard family. According to the information we have received before, since the defeat of the last coalition battle, the Burbis Collar and the Yedby Collar have actually completely broken away from the Boulder family system and thrown into the arms of the Nugus family and the Howard family respectively......"

"You mean, it's the Howards who are now in the hands of the Burbis family?" Sean reacted immediately, "And now Burbis has more troops than we expected?" ”

"Yes." William nodded, "About a month ago, that is, about twenty days after the end of the war between us and the Tinchiin Lord, the Rogan family suddenly carried out military activities to garrison and reinforce the Burbice Territory, and at the same time, the Nugus family and the Howard family also showed signs of large-scale military mobilization, and this situation lasted until a month ago, all the nobles belonging to the Howard family and the Nugus family appeared in their territories for military operations......"

"Total strength." Sean immediately asked.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand." William said a number that made Sean feel cold for a moment.

Others may not know, but Sean knows very well that the strength of 250,000 is equivalent to one-tenth of the strength of the entire kingdom of Dabiang today, and even nearly half of the strength of the entire southern aristocratic faction of Dabiang. And if the Nugus family and the Howard family go into battle together, then this means that there are at least three fourth-level armies among the 250,000 troops, which is a real elite army!

If nothing else, if all these 250,000 troops poured down, Sean would not be able to stop him at all, and he would even have to give up all the territories he currently occupied and retreat to Tonis Fortress. It can even be said that this retreat alone was an extremely dangerous and bloody road, because he believed that it would be absolutely impossible for these southern nobles of Dabion to let him go so easily.

"How so?" Sean found that the situation seemed to be very different from the script he had predicted, "Are they going to start a national war directly?" ”

"Quite possibly." William spoke, "I have already asked people to send this information to the Florentine lords, and they must be prepared in advance, otherwise if they are raided, then the current situation of the Etinciin Territory will not be able to stop it at all." ”

In fact, William still didn't say a word, that is, the army of 250,000 was overwhelmed. In the face of such a huge army, relying on their combined strength and Florence's total strength of less than 40,000, no matter how good the strategy is, they can completely resist.

This is the real one-force reduction of ten, which is directly taking advantage of the situation.

"And what's going on with Burbice Collar now?" Sean hurriedly asked.

"The situation is not rosy either." William spoke again, "The Rogan family carried out the second increase in troops to the Berbice Territory half a month ago, and at present, the Berbice Territory alone has gathered 80,000 troops, and the other 170,000 troops have already shown a siege network situation. The opponent can attack all of our territories at the same time. ”

Speaking of this, William took out a map, only to see that all the territories bordering Sean's territory on the map had been marked in red, except for the two bordering territories near the Modeg territory in the Dayi territory. But Sean knows. The reason why these two realms are not marked red is because the lords of these two realms are members of the Boulder faction. If the Boulder family also decides to drip muddy waters. Then once the war breaks out, then Sean really has no way out.

"How did it suddenly turn out like this?" Sean looked surprised.

"I don't think we need to think about what the situation will turn out to be like this at this time, what we really need to consider is how to arrange a way out." William opened his mouth and said, "Being able to lay out such a strategic situation, the other party's ability is almost below me...... No. I should say that I am even smarter than me. Although I can't know how well the opponent's command and tactical change ability are without fighting, this kind of momentum building alone is definitely better than mine. ”

Hearing William's words, Sean was suddenly startled. He immediately asked, "There must be a president in this army, right?" Do you know the name of this commander? ”

"I haven't found out yet, what's wrong?" Seeing Sean's expression, William realized the seriousness of the problem and subconsciously asked.

"I suddenly thought of someone." Sean's tone was a little cold, "This is a woman, what she is best at is this kind of momentum, borrowing the means, once the momentum is achieved, then she will immediately follow the trend, under the pressure of the general trend, any tricks can not resist at all." But if the momentum she created has not yet formed, she can choose to hibernate, her patience is simply beyond anyone's imagination, she can even spend more than ten years to set up a game, just to kill someone. ”

William was stunned for a moment, then stared at the map for a long time.

At present, the red area occupies almost half of the military map, and the blue area belonging to Sean is only a small corner on one side, but fortunately, a large area to the left of the blue area is all white. But everyone knows that if these white areas are also red, then this is the most common pocket encirclement in the strategic layout.

But even so, staring at this map, there is still a palpitating and dull sense of coercion.

Because both Sean and William know very well that on this military map, the general trend created by the enemy has already formed halfway, and if the real momentum is formed, then it is the so-called general trend, and no one can resist it in such a situation. Of course, there is no way to confront it, that is, to deal with it by the same means, and Sean also believes that as long as William can have 150,000 troops in his hands, he will definitely be able to compete with the opponent's total strength of 250,000.

But now, they don't have this kind of time, even if they mobilize the entire territory to start recruiting troops now, it would be good to be able to gather 60,000 people. But an army with no training is simply worthless on the battlefield.

"Now their momentum has not been formally formed, at most it can only be regarded as halfway to form." William stared at the map for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "So we still have a chance, as long as Asuna agrees to send troops to reinforce us, we may not be able to swallow the Berbice Territory." ”

William is indeed right, at present, Berbice has only 80,000 troops, as long as Asuna is willing to lend him all her 30,000 troops, then counting the 20,000 troops under his command at present, it is no problem to fight 80,000 with 50,000. As long as the Burbice territory is occupied, then they can garrison troops in the Berbice territory, and with the strategic advantage of the Berbice territory, they can go southeast to reinforce the Kiraf territory. To the northeast, you can lead reinforcements to Tingchiin, which is equivalent to taking a strategic advantage.

In such a situation, if the other party wants to invade in a full-scale way, they must break William's strategic advantage, so they can only fight William here before retaking the Berbice territory. In this way, it is actually equivalent to containing the main force of the opponent's army, and the general trend that the other party has built up with great difficulty will collapse because of this, but this is equivalent to the national war set off by Sean, not the national war set off by Dabiang.

After all, Sean occupies the Tinchiin Territory and the Yedby Territory and does not return it, and the Dayi Territory and the Kiraf Territory are also currently the territories of Dabiang, so the Kingdom of Dabion will not be condemned by any public opinion at all if it takes advantage of the situation to send troops to recapture these territories this time.

So once it was Sean who set off a national war. Then it is very unfavorable to Sean in terms of public opinion on the mainland. If the Duchy of Lane can win a big victory, it's okay to say, if it loses, then to calm down the anger, maybe it will be necessary to take Sean.

This has been the case with the aristocracy since ancient times.

So after hearing this tactic from William, Sean was silent for a moment. Then he asked: "Is there a way for the other party to crack this opportunity you are talking about?" ”

"Yes!" Again, there was a moment of silence. William spoke. "But I don't think they're going to do that."

"For what?" Sean was a little puzzled.

"If the other side ignores us, uses the north side of the Tinchiin Territory as a breakthrough, and then, after occupying half of the territory, divides their forces and marches towards the Dayi Territory and the Yedebi Territory, then it is they who contain us, not us who contain the other side." William drew two arrows on this military map. Sean found that with William's stroke, a third of the entire Tinchiin Territory was gone, and this one-third of the position happened to occupy the main road to the Dayi Territory and the Yederby Territory, "In such a situation. If we recapture this important road, then the two armies of the other side will be equivalent to a lone soldier who has completely penetrated behind enemy lines, and it is only a matter of time before we are eaten, unless the other side abandons these occupied areas and breaks through from the northwest of the Dayi territory, then it can retain at least half of the troops. ”

"This tactic is too conceited." Sean said in a deep voice.

"Yes, even if it were me, I wouldn't have made that decision unless there was absolutely no way around it." William said in a deep voice, "Because once it fails, then it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out, and it is almost impossible to turn the tables around." …… Of course, if it succeeds, then it is the real general trend, and the other party can completely rampage in our territory. ”

"How likely are you to make such a risky move?"

"Unless it is ten generals, it is impossible to make this strategic layout with a success rate of less than 30%." William replied without hesitation.

But this answer made Sean's heart burst out.

If it is really that woman, then the other party is really likely to make this kind of strategic layout, because she is one of the ten generals, and the ranking is higher than William. But in Sean's impression, this woman is not from the Southern Continent, when she appeared at the end of the third expansion, that is, in the battle against the demon invasion, relying on a two-year campaign, it was successfully united by all human forces to drive the demon back to the abyss plane.

It can be said that the final victory in that battle was the result of her own efforts.

It was precisely because of this battle that she successfully ranked seventh among the top ten generals.

But now, Sean has seen a very obvious layout on this map, although the momentum has not yet been completed, but a prototype is already there. Although she is a person who does not like to take risks, her forbearance and dormancy are also very terrifying, and she is even very good at taking advantage of all the circumstances that can be used.

"Is there a possibility of increasing the success rate of this tactic?" Sean asked.

After a moment of silence, William nodded again: "Yes." ”

As he said this, he circled the white bordering territories to the left of the Dayi Territory, all of which belonged to the lords of the Boulder faction, and two of them even bordered the Mordeg Territory.

Seeing this, Sean already understood.

However, William's words were a little different from what Sean thought: "If the Boulder family also joins this strategic layout, then this strategy is no longer a risky layout, and it can even be said to be a layout that lures us to be fooled." ”

"What do you mean?"

"As long as the Boulder family also participates in the war, then as long as the other party controls the strategic route of the Tinchiin Territory, they can directly attack the Yedbi Territory, and give the Dayi Territory to the Boulder Family, so that they will need to face our offensive pressure much less. Even at this time, if the Boulder family is a little more ambitious, then we will not even be able to hold the Panda Territory, so that we will become a lone army deep behind enemy lines. "And don't forget, because by lending us all the troops, Lord Asuna simply doesn't have enough troops to hold the Mordeg Territory now, and it is even possible that the entire Thundering Blade will be buried because of this." …… In other words, if the other party had planned to do so from the beginning, then the 80,000 troops led by Burbis now are definitely a cannon fodder force that can be sacrificed at any time, or it is a bait to deceive us into taking the bait. ”

"The Boulder family, the Nugus family, and the Howard family themselves are a bit incompatible, so I don't think I will cooperate with them."

"If this commander is really that good at building momentum, then it is entirely possible that she will turn this operation into a national war. In the general environment of the national war, no matter how unhappy the Boulder family is, they will definitely be forced into a desperate situation and can only choose to send troops, otherwise they will be accused of treason. William said in a deep voice, "This ...... It's the terrible thing about the general trend. …… Anyone who can use the power so delicately will not be a simple person. ”

"Check! No matter what the cost, the name of the other commander's must be investigated! Sean said in a deep voice, "Before we find out the name of this commander, we will make arrangements for the retreat." ”

"I know." (To be continued......)
