Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, update is fast, no popups, free to read!
When Chen Yucheng sent war captive back to Xuanwu Pass, the news of the fall of Xuanwu Pass had spread. Ouyang Shuo, who is also inspecting Shaozhou County, sent a special letter to Military Affairs Agency to give special recognition to Chen Yucheng.
seize Xuanwu Pass and Leopard Hides Army are not satisfied. The two main forces groups are aggressive at the same time. They may attack Prestigious Military Pass on the Guilin County side and the new Guiping Pass at any time.
With the help of P1-type Artillery, the fall of the two major customs is only a matter of time.
…………
[Chuanbei City State] and [Xiangnan City State] get the news, so they are not so calm.
Shanhai City just took blitzkrieg seize [Lingnan City State], the momentum is positive, weapon's edge is sharp. Two Great City States, as a neighbor of Shanhai City, was trembling. I was worried that the war would burn to their territory.
It was only that Shanhai City made it clear that they wanted to solve [Yunnan City State] first, so that they could get a breather. But at this sensitive moment, Shanhai City suddenly seize Xuanwu Pass, it is really shocking.
Two Great City States's Lords got together again to discuss countermeasures.
"What is the purpose of Shanhai City. Do they want to play another game? Are they really aiming at Two Great City States?" Lords was frightened.
"Impossible. With the current strength of Shanhai City, it is impossible to declare war with Two Great City States at the same time."
"Well, what if the goal of Shanhai City is one of us?"
"..."
The scene calmed down instantly, everyone Lord looked at each other.
Two Great City States's Lord looked at each other with some meaning in their eyes.
The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became subtle.
As it is called: rather what dies is the fellow Daoist, but not this poor Daoist, if Shanhai City is really one of two alternatives, they will naturally choose the opposite target instead of their own hope Shanhai City.
Lord of [Chuanbei City State] is even more shocked.
After all, Second Corps attacked their Coalition Forces.
At this moment, someone stood up and said decisively: "Impossible, Shanhai City will never go to war with us at this time."
"Why do you see it?"
At a glance, everyone Lord saw Stratagem Saint Zhang Liang speaking, and did not dare to neglect, and asked for advice with an open mind. The power of Zhang Liang, but they have seen it, and they all admire it.
At this time, Two Great City States does need an exciting news.
"Because the time is wrong, the place is wrong, and the method of warfare is even wrong." Zhang Liang even said three wrong.
"Let's talk about timing first. At this time, when Shanhai City compiles main forces, the three new Corpss have not yet taken shape. Isn't it stupid to declare a war in such a hurry? It's totally inconsistent with the style of Shanhai City." >
"Let's talk about the location. After seize [Lingnan City State], Shanhai City main forces can attack Xiangnan Province directly from Shaozhou County, or Chuanbei Province from Kunming County. So, why not work hard, please choose an intermediate location like Guilin County to fight grass and snakes?!"
"Finally, the method of warfare. Throughout Shanhai City's previous military campaign, each War is a combination of Collective Army and War Operations. This time it was only Leopard Hides Army Second Corps. Even First Corps did not cooperate with Second Corps and attacked Guiping Pass. If they were really prepared It will never be against us. "
"What's even more weird is that Second Corps did not win Chasing Strike, seize Prestigious Military Pass in one fell swoop. Also in other words, the opponent has a weapon to attack the fortress, but it has not stopped. Is this not surprising?"
Zhang Liang looked around everyone Lord and said firmly: "So, Shanhai City will never start a war at this time."
When the voice just fell, everyone Lord didn't applaud, one by one, looking uplifted, just like suddenly letting go of within heart's heavy burden, let go of your mind and sweep away the previous haze.
"That's right, too right!"
"Yes, it must be like this, sir can't be more correct!"
everyone Lord does not hesitate to offer their beautiful words, with a sincere expression.
This mood is really understandable.
When the news of the fall of Xuanwu Pass came, ask which of the Lords present here is not panic, one by one feels bleak prospects? !!
Only after experiencing the war, can they really feel how much fear within heart has over Shanhai City. Unconsciously, Shanhai City has become a big mountain, so that they can't breathe.
Slightly slowed down Lord, and sincerely asked Zhang Liang again, and asked: "Sir, since Shanhai City has no intention to go to war, what is the purpose of their seize Xuanwu Pass this time?"
Zhang Liang has a complex expression, saying: "If I expected it well, the other party should want to take back Guilin County."
"..."
everyone Lord found that they could not refute.
A year ago, when they seize Guilin County, they did not feel complacent. Where do you think, in just one year, Shanhai City has been so powerful.
The original beautiful Guilin County has become a hot potato.
"Then, do you give them back?" asked Lord carefully.
"What else? Now we are already deadly enemies. We are still going back, aren't we embarrassed?" Zhang Liang hasn't said anything yet, Lord has raised an objection.
"Oh, if you do n’t pay back, will people not take it by themselves? Wait until then, Shanhai City main forces kills Guilin County, what do we use to resist, do we really want to start a full war with Shanhai City?" [Chuanbei City State] Lord He retorted, with a look of disdain.
"If you start a war, it will be seize. We two City State will not work?"
"Hum, it's very light. Did you forget how [Lingnan City State] was destroyed?"
...
everyone Lord has been arguing about it, and it's too fussy.
The big guys like South of the Colored Clouds and Great Official Ximen did not make a clear statement. Zhang Liang is Adviser. At this time, there is no right to speak, and the whole scene is deadlocked.
In the end, it was annoying.
************
Just when the Two Great City States was hesitant and the opinions were not unified, on 24 day, Southern Border Protectorate General Vast Display Monastery sent a mission to Two Great City States and took it to Your Lordship Ouyang Shuo's for ultimatum.
Ouyang Shuo announced Two Great City States:
One year ago, Two Great City States was in danger, and seize Guilin County was adopted by dishonorable. After a year, Shanhai City is preparing to take back Guilin County, and hopes that Two Great City States will not make fearless resistance.
If Two Great City States is willing to return Guilin County peacefully, Shanhai City will not only be blameless, but also be willing to settle with Two Great City States. ; will even be willing to open Two Great City States trade channels, allowing Two Great City States's business team to conduct ocean trade through the maritime trade channels opened by Shanhai City.
If you refuse to surrender Guilin County, Shanhai City main forces will resolutely defend the glory of territory and forcibly recover Guilin County with Military Power. Even at the highest price, it is at his expense.
Please also ask Two Great City States not to doubt, Shanhai City's determination to defend the glory of territory.
How to choose in the end, I also hope that Two Great City States will give a reply to Shanhai City within three days.
...
This pass is soft and hard, and the carrot sticks are served together.
In the words of South of the Colored Clouds: "It's extremely shameless! It's reasonable and legal for them to attack [Lingnan City State]. Is it dishonorable for us to use seize Guilin County? It's simply not true."
Zhang Liang listened, but frowned. His Lordship has not yet understood. As an Lord, especially Wilderness Lord, is "shameless" a virtue?
Shanhai City can realize that it always places itself on the moral high ground. This is a brilliant method.
If it is common for ordinary people to say so, but South of the Colored Clouds is a Wilderness Big Lord, isn't it naive to make such a joke?
This trick of Shanhai City is really brilliant.
As predicted by Zhang Liang, Shanhai City has no intention to go to war with Two Great City States. The previous operation of Military, which occupied Xuanwu Pass, was just laying the ground for this mission.
The real purpose is to successfully recover Guilin County without Bloodshed.
In this way, not only has the stigma of losing Guilin County been washed away, but it can also stabilize the northern border in one fell swoop and clear a time bomb for the next Yunnan War.
More importantly, Two Great City States within heart can also bury the irresistible seed of Shanhai City, and build a psychological advantage for attacking Two Great City States in the future.
So, it's three kills.
The current Shanhai City can truly be regarded as a Wilderness Overlord's grandeur and rudiment. Solving issue no longer relies too much on Military Power. Instead, it uses all kinds of methods and is extremely skilled.
In contrast, Two Great City States is still in trouble and is not enough to watch.
The prospect of Zhang Liang for Colored Clouds City and [Xiangnan City State] is becoming increasingly pessimistic. But since he got on this boat, he would not easily disembark.
Sink, and sink with the ship.
As for the reconciliation mentioned in the Tongji and the opening of business channels, although Zhang Liang is not clear, I would like to know that Shanhai City must have a foreshadowing in it, and it will never be as simple as it looks.
It is such a "bait", Lords of Two Great City States is difficult to refuse.
It's a human, and there will be ostrich psychology, and Lord is no exception. They can reconcile with the Shanhai City, live without fear, and carry out ocean trade. The temptation is that they are hard to resist.
The same is true.
The first thing you can't carry is [Chuanbei City State].
Xuanwu Pass World War I, [Chuanbei City State] Coalition Forces is casualty and 26,000 more people.
Distressed!
It's even more trembling.
In the face of Shanhai City's weapon's edge, they have no confidence to hold Guilin County.
[Chuanbei City State] has long been attacked by Vast Display Monastery internally, secretly many Lords are already Shanhai City "good friends" and have limited hostility towards Shanhai City.
Now that Shanhai City proactively extended an olive branch on the bright side, why would they not accept it. Not to mention them, even Big Lord like Great Official Ximen, hesitated.
The huge profits of ocean trade, few Lord can refuse.
Under the help of “interested people” and the constant lobbying of the mission, the internal opinions of [Chuanbei City State] are slowly reaching agreement, and they are willing to withdraw from Guilin County.
The situation is moving in the direction expected by Ouyang Shuo.
