The World Online - Chapter 558

[Chapter 557 The Knot of Consonance City]

“Let’s talk about [Yunnan City-State] again, where are its flaws?” Ouyang Shuo asked.

More than half of the borders in Yunnan Province are national borders.

To the north is the unopened Tubo, and the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Shu land. The only threat is the pair of allies, Lingxi City and Shanhai City.

It can be said that [Yunnan City-State] has no worries.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages.

The superior geographical location, in turn, also limits the external expansion of [Yunnan city-state].

Therefore, [Yunnan City-state] has pursued a conservative local defense strategy since its establishment.

Even the alliance with three city-states including [Chuanbei City-state] is for the strategic purpose of defense.

As the saying goes, you can be strong without desire.

To deal with [Yunnan City-State], there seems to be no other way than a strong attack.

At that time, Ouyang Shuo had already decided to focus next year’s attack on the Yunnan Province in the west.

“[Yunnan City-state] has two weaknesses.” Zhang Yi still talked like that, “First, there is no strong person like Ruan Ping and Ximen Daguanren in the city-state. Second, [Yunnan City-state] 】Geographically, they are not bordered by the other three city-states, and they are isolated from the alliance.”

Ouyang Shuo noticed that Zhang Yi was talking about weaknesses, not flaws.

Obviously, in Zhang Yi’s view, [Yunnan City-state] is also a tough nut to crack.

“This Marquis doesn’t think that these two points are the weakness of [Yunnan City-State].” Ouyang Shuo shook his head, and had different ways of dealing with it, “Looking at it alone, these two points are indeed hidden dangers. But once they are combined, Weaknesses have become advantages. A city-state outside the alliance needs to be governed by mediocre people? Only in this way can it maintain its internal stability and not change its inherent strategy

. !” Zhang Yi sighed again.

“For [Yunnan city-state], Honglu Temple can pay a little attention. The specific strategy should be handled by Lingxi City. We don’t need to do it for us.” Ouyang Shuo ordered.

To Bai Hua, an ally, Ouyang Shuo still had to give him due respect.

Anyway, the real border with [Yunnan City-State] is Kunming County in Lingxi City.

As for how to deal with [Yunnan City-State], I am afraid that Bai Hua also has a plan in mind.

Therefore,

Shanhai City cannot directly cross Lingxi City and directly operate in Yunnan Province.

In that case, I’m afraid it will go against the intention of Lingxi City and make it difficult for Bai Hua.

At most, both parties act together.

As for the Longxiang Army stationed in the west, the first is to collect information, and the second is to cooperate with Lingxi City to launch a strong attack on [Yunnan City-State] during the real war.

Speaking of which, the two sides will definitely have differences on how to deal with [Yunnan City-state] in the future.

It is reported that regarding Shanhai City occupying Zhen’an County and seizing more than 90,000 prisoners of war from the West Route Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there is already a discordant voice inside Lingxi City.

After all, from the perspective of Lingxi City, they made huge sacrifices and tried their best to stop the West Route Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom; in the end, it seemed that there was nothing to gain except sacrifices.

On the contrary, it would be too overbearing to pick off all the fruits in an ambush in Shanhai City.

If it wasn’t for the Luo Shixin Master Group, who actively cooperated with Lingxi City to quickly take down Kunming County and let Lingxi City gain a place to stay; the dissatisfaction in Lingxi City would have been even stronger.

Regarding this point, although Ouyang Shuo had a clear conscience, it was enough to arouse his vigilance.

In history, too many allies eventually parted ways because of interest issues.

Although, Ouyang Shuo believed that he and Bai Hua could control their differences.

However, the two were powerless to stop the thoughts and demands of the people below.

Thinking deeper, this is even more related to the positioning of Lingxi City in the future.

Baihua is not Mulanyue, and Lingxi City is not the original Mulan County. It is absolutely impossible for it to be directly merged into the Shanhai Territory.

After all, Consonance City represents not only the interests of Bai Hua, but the interests of a group of people.

It can even be said that [Qingfeng Pavilion] has conflicts of interest in it.

It’s a big hassle to deal with.

“At the party next year, it’s time to have a good talk with Bai Hua.”

Ouyang Shuo sighed slightly in his heart.

…

Zhang Yi nodded in response, and continued: “Apart from Lian Heng of the four major city-states, there is actually a fifth person who has been on the outskirts, staring at Shanhai City, just like the Qi State in the Warring States Period.”

“You mean [Yanhuang Alliance]?” Ouyang Shuo asked.

“For Shanhai City, [Yanhuang League] is an existence that cannot be ignored for a long time. Especially with the expansion of the territory, the conflict between the two sides will spread from indirect battle conflicts to wilderness, face-to-face direct geographical conflicts. As long as Shanhai City breaks through the blockade of the four major city-states, it will directly confront Shu and Jingchu provinces. Therefore, I believe that [Yanhuang League] will definitely not sit back and watch Shanhai City break through this alliance.”

Zhang Yi’s words are absolutely Not alarmist.

Previously, when Shanhai City was determined to unify the Lianzhou Basin, [Yanhuang League] stepped in.

For the [Yanhuang League], it is obviously an inevitable choice to unite the four major city-states and firmly contain the expansion of Shanhai City.

From this point of view, around the four major city-states, [Shanhai League] and [Yanhuang League], there is going to be another serious battle, but I don’t know who will have the last laugh.

It’s not Ouyang Shuo’s style to counterattack passively.

“Now that we are aware of the threat from the [Yanhuang League], Honglu Temple should take the initiative to attack. Compared to us, the members of the [Yanhuang League] are in constant trouble in their respective territories.” Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly , “There is no reason to say that let them develop leisurely, and still take care of our affairs.”

“Understood!” Zhang Yi nodded.

“The focus is on Asura City and Fallen Leaf City, try to provoke their relationship.” Ouyang Shuo said.

Shura City, which kills the army, belongs to the same province as the Fallen Leaf City, and there are Xianyang City and Chang’an City in the middle. It is really unreasonable to not move them.

Speaking of which, in this unfinished battle in the Central Plains, compared to the low-key Shapo Army, Piao Ling Huan stole the limelight.

I don’t know how the Shapojun, who has always been so strong, will feel about this.

Seeing that the new year is approaching, with the combined forces of Wolf Warrior and Xiongba, Huang Chao’s army is completely wiped out.

Among the four major uprising army groups, only Chen Sheng’s Zhang Chu regime still stands in the wilderness.

For Chun Shenjun and Piaolinghuan, this is embarrassing.

The helpless thing is that the troops are weak, no matter how embarrassing they are, they dare not act rashly.

Even Di Chen, seeing Gaia’s three years coming soon, temporarily stopped thinking about attacking Zhang Chu’s hinterland.

Everything will have to wait until after the New Year before making any calculations.
