Chapter 1117. Gains and Losses
The current situation is that the Dashi Kingdom does not have an organized air force, and neither the Condor Empire nor the Northern Expedition Alliance can send their own flying legions to participate in the war for the time being, so this is a pure ground war.
There are many natural factors that affect ground warfare, and weather and terrain are undoubtedly the two most important ones.
Because of the existence of the Yellow River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Shenying Army was blocked on the north bank of the Yellow River by the Northern Expeditionary Alliance, and the Northern Expeditionary Alliance was blocked on the west bank of the Grand Canal by the Dashi Kingdom.
If the Condor Army wants to break through the Yellow River defense line of the Northern Expedition Alliance, it can only choose to cross the river and attack by force, and the same is true for the Northern Expedition Alliance Army.
Although after capturing the land on the west bank of the Grand Canal, the Northern Expeditionary Army seized many fishing boats from local fishermen, those fishing boats could only help them row to the east bank of the Grand Canal and could not allow them to enter the Yellow River waterway.
After being unable to enter the Yellow River waterway, the Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces lost the opportunity to use the Yellow River waterway to attack the rear of the Dashi Kingdom.
So even though Lu Chenguang had seen that there were quite a few problems with Chu Tianba's arrangement, he didn't have any solution.
As long as the Northern Expedition Alliance still wants to attack the Dashi Kingdom, they can only enter the chess game according to Chu Tianba's arrangement, and then fight hard on the chessboard to defeat the Dashi Kingdom as soon as possible and end the game.
Although Lu Chenguang was very unwilling, he wanted to work together and come up with a solution. However, due to limited conditions, the players and generals of the Northern Expedition Alliance were never able to break the chess game designed by Chu Tianba, so in the end they had no choice but to enter the chess game.
With the return of Sun Junbo and Xiong Xiaoguang, the auction of the land between the Daqing River and the Grand Canal officially began.
Only three people participated in the auction, namely the seller Chu Tianba and the buyers Xiong Xiaoguang and Sun Junbo.
In order to conduct trading better and let the Dashi Kingdom make a good profit, Chu Tianba adopted a secret bidding method for this bidding.
In order to create the illusion of fairness and justice, Chu Tianba arranged a total of five rounds of bidding for the two of them. After he gave a base price, Xiong Xiaoguang and Sun Junbo began the first round of secret bidding.
In each round of secret bidding, Chu Tianba will only announce who is the higher bidder, and will not announce the specific bids of both parties.
After Chu Tianba announces the results, both bidders will decide their prices for the next round based on the results. The party that succeeds in the fifth round of bidding will win the final victory.
Since only Chu Tianba can see the prices offered by both parties in each round, and the other two are not qualified to watch, it is entirely up to Chu Tianba himself to decide who offers the higher price.
From beginning to end, Xiong Xiaoguang naively believed that Chu Tianba's secret bidding method was fair, but little did he know that it was just a show, because he had already been designated as the final winner of the fifth round.
After five rounds of exciting secret bidding, Chu Tianba announced Xiong Xiaoguang as the final winner on the spot and successfully purchased the land between the Daqing River and the Grand Canal.
After Chu Tianba announced the results, hundreds of monk soldiers wearing bright golden cassocks rushed into the garden where the three of them were. Those monk soldiers took the cursing Sun Junbo down in front of Xiong Xiaoguang.
Looking at Xiong Xiaoguang with a question mark on his face, Chu Tianba smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Guang, nephew, there is no need to worry. My move is not to take advantage of others, but to temporarily put the envoys of the Northern Expedition Alliance under house arrest for the sake of peace between us. Buy some time for the handover.
After your army from the Dashi Kingdom takes over all the cities, I will immediately send people to put back the Northern Expedition Alliance envoys. "
"Buddha Master Chu still considers Zhou Xiang. Xiaoguang is here to thank Lord Chu Chu for his righteous act on behalf of my uncle."
After hearing the reasons given by Chu Tianba, Xiong Xiaoguang immediately bowed to express his gratitude.
"Okay, time is running out. My dear nephew, please leave the funds for the purchase and rush back immediately to avoid being informed by the Northern Expedition Alliance."
All the preparations have been done, and Chu Tianba can't wait to watch the main show.
"Lord Chu, take care. I hope we can fight side by side one day."
Xiong Xiaoguang said goodbye to Chu Tianba very politely.
After counting the money and sending Xiong Xiaoguang away, Chu Tianba came to the yard where Sun Junbo and others were detained.
After seeing Sun Junbo who was pacing in the yard, Chu Tianba immediately walked over quickly and said: "Brother Sun, your performance just now was very exciting. You fooled that idiot Xiong Xiaoguang into being stunned. Yes, hahahaha.”
"There's no way. Everyone has their own strengths. The Ursines gave all their essence to their bodies, while we gave all our essences to our brains."
Sun Junbo smiled and pointed at his head.
"Brother Sun, I have prepared 30,000 sets of cassocks for you. Now they are all loaded on the carriage. You can go to Luqiao Town now."
After selling the land, Chu Tianba started selling cassocks again.
"Okay, thank you very much, Brother Chu. The gold coins for purchasing 30,000 sets of cassocks are all in those boxes. They were prepared at double the price agreed before. Brother Chu, you can send someone to count them immediately.
Once you've taken stock, we'll be on our way immediately. "
Hearing that Chu Tianba had actually prepared 30,000 sets of cassocks for his side in such a short period of time, an imperceptible light immediately flashed in Sun Junbo's eyes.
"From now on, everyone will be our own people, will I still distrust you, Brother Sun?
Brother Sun, come on, let's drink this glass of water and wine, and then you can set off immediately.
I wish you immediate success, go for it! "
Without caring about Sun Junbo's attitude, Chu Tianba directly picked up the wine pot from the stone table and poured two glasses of fine wine, then picked up the wine glasses, one for himself and the other for Sun Junbo.
"Then I will accept Brother Chu's good words, cheers."
Taking the wine glass, Sun Junbo drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking the wine, Sun Junbo wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Since Brother Chu trusts me so much, I won't be hypocritical. We will meet again in the future, Brother Chu, let's meet again later."
"See you later."
After clasping his fists to Chu Tianba, Sun Junbo took the players who followed him to the carriage, and then headed towards Luqiao Town without looking back.
...... After Sun Junbo and his group drove the carriage away, a young man in silver armor suddenly appeared beside Chu Tianba.
After watching Sun Junbo and his group disappear, the young man smiled and said, "Brother Chu, although your plan of two tigers fighting each other directly hits their vital points, aren't you afraid that one of the tigers is sick and will be defeated as soon as they fight?"
Turning his head to look at the guy sent by Ning Yuan, Chu Tianba reached out and touched his shaved head, and replied with a smile, "Brother Lin, Dashi Kingdom is not a sick tiger. They are now considered a wounded tiger.
When two male tigers meet, if it were normal, the wounded tiger would probably choose to retreat immediately. evade.
But when the male tiger on the opposite side is determined to kill it, seize its territory, kill all its offspring, and take away its female tigers, the injured male tiger will only fight more bravely, because it has no way out and can only fight with its back to the river.
The Dashi Kingdom has been pitted so badly by you this time, Xiong Dashi has no way out. If he cannot resist the attack of the Northern Expedition Alliance, then he will have no way out.
So Brother Lin, just watch, the Dashi Kingdom will definitely fight to the death with the Northern Expedition Alliance this time. "
The man surnamed Lin is none other than Lin Chen, a player think tank under Ning Yuan.
After Ning Yuan learned that Lang Xiaotian had set up Xiong Dashi and brought the most elite 200,000 orcs of the Dashi Kingdom to the island, Ning Yuan was worried that Chu Tianba would make a mistake in judgment.
So he immediately sent Lin Chen, who did not have so many bad ideas, to inform Chu Tianba of the overall situation so that Chu Tianba could prepare in advance.
When Chu Tianba learned that Lang Xiaotian, the second-in-command of Dashi Kingdom, was actually an insider arranged by Ning Yuan in Shandong Peninsula a long time ago, he immediately figured out all his previous doubts.
No wonder Dashi Kingdom did not choose to recruit him or cooperate with him at the beginning, but just locked him in this closed Taishan inner ring area. It turned out that Ning Yuan had been obstructing it.
He used to think that everything was going well for him. The reason why he failed to grow in the end was that he missed the best period of development.
Now it seems that it is not the case at all. The reason why he failed to develop is that his opponents have noticed him a long time ago and adopted a strategic and tactical isolation and blockade against him, not giving him any opportunity to develop, but he himself did not notice it at all.
This person is none other than Ning Yuan.
After learning this cruel truth, Chu Tianba immediately showed a helpless bitter smile. At this moment, he really lost with conviction.
Before, Chu Tianba had always had a knot in his heart. He always thought that he was unlucky and born at the wrong time.
After learning all the causes and consequences, his knot in his heart was immediately untied, because the reason why he failed was completely because of his inferior skills.
There is nothing to regret about being inferior to others, and there is no regret, because he has tried his best. Although the result is not very ideal, at least he is worthy of himself.
In the past, Chu Tianba always thought that Ning Yuan had everything he had today purely because of good luck.
Now it seems that Ning Yuan's strategic vision is not something that ordinary people can have. This may be the real reason for his success!
Chu Tianba not only has no regrets for losing to such a Ning Yuan, but he is even more looking forward to the days of following Ning Yuan to conquer the world in the future. I believe that the future days will definitely be very exciting!
"Boss Ningyuan sent me here this time. In addition to telling you about the strategic deployment of the Divine Eagle Army, he also wants you to lead the Demon-Subduing Corps to cooperate with the Divine Eagle Army when it attacks Shandong.
Now the boss has handed over the command here to Marshal James. I met Marshal James before coming here.
Marshal James wants to force a landing from the Grand Canal when the war between the Great Stone Kingdom and the Northern Expedition Alliance enters a critical period.
In this way, not only can the Northern Expedition coalition forces that invaded the Great Stone Kingdom be directly locked up, but also Heze and the base camp of the Northern Expedition Alliance can be directly attacked. Launch a counterattack.
The only difficulty of this landing plan now is that you have managed the Grand Canal defense line too well. If the Silver Pegasus Knights cannot come to join the battle, even the powerful Condor Army will find it difficult to successfully seize the beach.
So Marshal James hopes that you can launch at the same time and reach the bank of the Grand Canal as soon as possible to help the Condor Army seize a landing pier.
Brother Chu, although you are pretending to show goodwill to the Northern Expedition Alliance, Lu Chenguang and the other old foxes will definitely not believe you. After they seize this section of the defense line, they will definitely deploy heavy troops to guard against you, Brother Chu.
When the time comes, Brother Chu, your demon-suppressing army will have to face the defense line you have worked so hard to build. I wonder, Brother Chu, how confident are you that you can quickly reach the bank of the Grand Canal? "
Without arguing with Chu Tianba, Lin Chen directly told Chu Tianba James' strategic plan.
When he heard that he would lead the demon-conquering army to attack the Grand Canal defense system he had worked so hard to build in the future, the smile on Chu Tianba's face immediately disappeared without a trace, replaced by a solemn look on his face.
After holding his chin and thinking for a while, Chu Tianba said seriously: "Brother Lin, to be honest, if the Northern Expedition Alliance focuses on prevention and control of me, it will be difficult for my demon-suppressing army to even cross the Daqing River.
Because in order to make the Daqing River defense line easy to defend and difficult to attack, I not only sent people to widen and clean up the Daqing River channel, but also left only two entrances and exits.
As long as the Northern Expedition Alliance deploys a legion to guard each of the two entrances and exits, the entire inner ring area of Mount Tai will immediately become a cage, making it difficult for people outside to get in and people inside to get out.
The order that Boss Ningyuan sent to me at the beginning was to guard the inner ring area of Mount Tai. He did not ask me to take the initiative to fight out. That's why I made such a plan for the Dashi Kingdom and the Northern Expedition Alliance.
Now that the deal is done, I can no longer go back on my promise, otherwise the Dashi Kingdom and the Northern Expedition Alliance will not be able to fight.
If Marshal James still wants to force a landing from the Grand Canal, they have to rely on themselves, because I basically can't do anything to help him.
So I have to trouble Brother Lin to make another hard trip and inform Marshal James of my situation here so that he can prepare as soon as possible. "
Lin Chen came over relatively late. When he came over, Chu Tianba's plan was almost in progress. If Chu Tianba suddenly went back on his word, the war might end at the Grand Canal after the Northern Expedition Alliance became alert.
Therefore, Chu Tianba could only choose to sit on the sidelines and watch the strategy formulated by James to enter Shandong.
"Okay, then Brother Chu, you can continue to guard the inner ring of Mount Tai as the boss wants. I will go to see Marshal James immediately and tell him about your situation to see if he wants to make a new plan.
Brother Chu, during this period, I am the main contact between Marshal James and you. I will come to you immediately as soon as there is new news. At the same time, we also keep in touch offline and exchange new intelligence information at any time.
The situation was urgent, so I took the first step. "
After learning that Chu Tianba could not be of any help, Lin Chen immediately decided to leave.
"Okay, I will keep in touch with Brother Lin at any time. I failed to entertain you this time. When Brother Lin comes again next time, I will definitely take care of Brother Lin.
Brother Lin, have a nice trip. "
Knowing that the matter was of great importance, Chu Tianba did not force Lin Chen to stay.
