Chapter 935 What Is the Old Fox Going to Do?
At the end of August, there was a sudden storm in the wilderness of China.
A field army in the Stone City, together with the Fourth Army of the Leopard Army, which was ordered to station in the City, moved to the border of Zhangwu County, and the soldiers pointed directly at Handan City.
Luofeng City left a field army stationed in the main city, and a field army stationed at the border with Handan City. The remaining three field army troops all moved to the west, and their fronts pointed directly at Shura City and Fallen Leaf City.
The Western Chu army marched southward, advancing towards the Red Blood City in the south.
Jiangchuan Province is dominated by a field army from Black Lion City, all of them head north, and they are displayed in the border area with Danyang City in a menacing manner.
The Huben army stationed in the southern Fujian Province confronted the Bawangcheng army as usual.
Under the leadership of Han Xin, the Leopard Army garrisoned the northern border of Daxia and monitored [City-States in Northern Sichuan] and [City-States in Southern Hunan]. Coupled with the Longxiang Army marching northward, for this big battle, Ouyang Shuo mobilized all the allied troops, it can be said that he did his best, and he was about to cut off [Yanhuang League].
This time, in order to invite Xi Chu, Ouyang Shuo spent a lot of money. He only sent 50,000 sets of excellent weapons and equipment for free, and countless other food and grass supplies.
With the mobilization of troops from all over the country, the sound of horseshoes was urgent, and the whole wilderness was completely shaken.
…………
On August 25th, Handan City.
With the frequent mobilization of troops by the members of the [Shanhai League], the situation became clearer and clearer, and a monstrous battle was about to be waged in the wilderness. Di Chen and the others finally couldn't sit still, and got together again to discuss matters.
"What the hell is the old fox going to do?"
Xiongba was the first to lose his composure, walking up and down the hall like an ant on a hot pan. For this hero, such a gaffe is really hard to see.
No wonder.
Right now, only Overlord City and Swordsman City truly border Daxia.
Swordsman City is located in the land of Shu, with rugged mountain roads, and with the support of the Shu Han Dynasty, it can be said to be confident. Even if Da Xia went crazy, he probably wouldn't seek trouble in Swordsman City.
If that was the case, Da Xia would not have died down when he conquered Steel City.
Presumably, it is self-evident who Da Xia's actions are aimed at, and it is the Overlord City that Da Xia regards as a thorn in his side. Thinking of this, Xiongba couldn't keep his composure anymore.
Seeing this, Zhan Lang said with relief: "Brother Xiong Ba, don't worry. Daxia may not be targeting Bawang City. Right now [Shanhai League] is making efforts everywhere at the same time, and a war may break out at any border."
"That's right, the old fox is putting on a ecstasy formation." Di Chen followed with emotion.
Right now [Shanhai League] is frequently mobilizing troops, but they still haven't figured out who the opponent's real target is, so how not to be depressed and anxious.
Chunshen Jun said: "Depending on how he behaves, I'll have a confrontation, one by one, by stationing troops on the border to confront each other. No matter where a war breaks out, are we afraid of them?"
This is called standing and talking without back pain.
Danyang City is only facing the threat of Jiangchuan Province, and now Jiangchuan Province is not formally included in the territory of Daxia, and it is inconvenient for the army to transfer, so it cannot pose a real threat to Danyang City.
That's why, everyone present, Mr. Duchun Shen is the most calm and relaxed.
Xiongba glanced at Chunshen Jun, feeling a little angry in his heart, finally pressed down, and said solemnly: "If it's just the current confrontation, we are naturally not afraid, but it's just an even match, and no one can do anything to win. Even in terms of military strength, We still have the upper hand here.”
[Yanhuang League] How many troops are there in each territory, and the hegemony is naturally clear.
Handan City, Bawang City, and Danyang City belong to the first echelon, each with four field legions. Due to the small size of the East China Sea province and the constraints of the construction of the royal city, Chixue City has only three field legions.
The remaining Swordsman City, Shura City, and Fallen Leaf City all had only two field legions.
Whether it is on the battle map or in the wilderness battle, [Yanhuang League] keeps losing soldiers and generals. Unlike the Great Xia Dynasty, every time a battle is won, the strength of the troops often increases instead of decreasing.
Therefore, this is due to the [Yanhuang League]'s deep foundation. Even if it is constantly frustrated on the battlefield and its strength is lost again and again, it can still maintain such an army size. Putting other territories aside, the family's wealth has long been emptied.
[Yanhuang League] The total strength of the combined forces is exactly equivalent to the five armies of the Daxia Imperial Guard Army, City Guard Army, Longxiang Army, Huben Army, and Baotao Army, all of which are twenty-one field armies.
It's just that Daxia still faces threats from [Northern Sichuan City-state] and [Shunan City-state], and has to garrison the capital. There are also two royal cities in Dali and Quanzhou within the territory, and the deployment of troops is not as flexible as [Yanhuang League].
With a big family and a big business, there are also difficulties.
Other allies such as Luofeng City did not dare to display all their troops on the border. For example, in Luofeng City, a field army was stationed in the main city.
In the current border confrontation, Dujianxia City is at a disadvantage.
Feng Qingyang was not in a hurry, as Xiongba guessed, the Feng family had already made an agreement with the Shuhan Dynasty. Once Daxia invaded Swordsman City, the two sides immediately established a relationship of dependence.
That's why Feng Qingyang is just like Chun Shenjun, calm and relaxed, and be a spectator with peace of mind. In the past, Dichen's family put pressure on Feng's family to carry out some kind of Z plan, and they broke up unhappy, which already made Feng Qingyang dissatisfied.
At this moment, Feng Qingyang was delighted to see the jokes of Dichen and others.
Right now, the Shu Han is dispatching troops and generals, and they are furious.
Last time he was humiliated by Daxia, and then there were rumors in the city again, making Liu Bei very angry, wishing to fight with Daxia, "New and old grudges, we can figure it out together."
Liu Bei never forgot Daxia's revenge for killing his younger brother.
As for those chambers of commerce who were tempted by Daxia and eagerly wanted to leave the Shu Han and prepare to move to Daxia for development, Liu Bei ordered to kill several leading companies in the past few days, and they were suppressed for the time being.
Due to historical limitations, Liu Bei has no reason to be merciful to businessmen, let alone compassion. If he is really going to be driven into a hurry, it is no problem to ransack his family and destroy his family.
Not to mention Liu Bei, even Zhuge Liang and others took it for granted and did not raise any objections.
However, due to the influence of the lord's thoughts, the business environment in the wilderness and the status of merchants have long been very different from history. In Daxia, merchants enjoy the same status as other people, and it is common for merchants to confer titles.
This killing by Liu Bei actually planted a great disaster for the Shu Han Dynasty.
Right now, the city of Chengdu is calm, without the slightest sign of turmoil, but this is the result of Shanhaiwei secret agents quietly coming forward to appease them.
In the not-too-distant future, a storm will sweep across Chengdu and the Shuhan Dynasty.
...
Xiongba changed the topic, and then said: "The problem is, there is still a guard army stationed in the Great Xia capital city, and there is another city guard army outside the city. You don't know the strength of the Great Xia Imperial Guard army, right? Once the ace troops are unsheathed, they are enough to influence the situation of the battle, not to mention the unknown overseas garrisons."
Having fought against Daxia a lot, Xiongba and the others have a clear understanding of the strength of Daxia's army, or else, only your enemy is the one who understands you best.
Zhan Lang nodded and said: "Brother Xiongba is right, the only thing we can do now is to keep an eye on the Imperial Guards of Daxia. Wherever this army appears, it must be the real target of Daxia's attack."
Di Chen shook his head, not as optimistic as Zhan Lang, "It's difficult!"
The Imperial Guards of the Great Xia were stationed in the Royal City, and the spies could not spy on them at all. They wanted to leave Shanhai City, but they also directly passed the teleportation array in the Royal City, and left with a "swish".
It was too late when the Imperial Guards showed up on the battlefield.
"..."
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was a little uncomfortable.
In the past, they used chess pieces as a medium to fight against Daxia on other people's territory, but they didn't feel anything. The big deal was that some troops were lost, and the mainland was not affected.
After the war, take a little rest and heal the wounds, and you will be able to recover.
That's why Di Chen and the others would often "heal the scar and play with the pain". Even though they suffered several losses in a row at Da Xia's hands, they still dared to provoke Da Xia frequently, without any fear.
Now that they suddenly had to face Da Xia's initiative directly, Di Chen and the others really felt the huge pressure.
Today's Great Xia is already a real colossus, if there is a slight difference in this battle, the [Yanhuang League] will be caught in the flames of war, and there is a danger of overturning at any time.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand Xiongba's gaffe, and the trace of regret in Dichen's heart.
Seeing the silence in the atmosphere, Xiongba casually glanced at Di Chen, and said leisurely, "It's just a blame, some people are just looking for trouble, and they take the initiative to cause trouble." In his tone, it was hard to hide the meaning of reproach.
All the people present here are human beings, and Xiong Ba obviously meant something, it couldn't be more obvious who he was talking about.
Seeing this, Jun Shenjun, Feng Qingyang, and Sha Pojun glanced back and forth between Dichen and Xiongba with great interest. Piaolinghuan and Zhanlang frowned together.
When Xiongba said that, Dichen refused to accept it, and the trace of regret in his heart immediately dissipated, and he said loudly: "I also did it out of good intentions. It's better for Da Sui to restrain Da Xia than for you to do nothing."
These two are worthy of being rivals, and they get angry when they are agitated.
"kindness?"
It's fine if Dichen doesn't justify himself, but this justification completely annoyed Xiongba. He got up and almost pointed at Dichen's nose and scolded, "Even if it's a good intention, the method must be smarter. What's going on now? Da Sui said helplessly. Giving away people, and giving money, is almost pretending to be a grandson. This is called stealing chickens without losing money!"
Dichen was in a hurry, but he didn't know how to explain it. He didn't expect that Emperor Wen of Sui, the hero of a generation, would admit his love so easily, which surprised Dichen.
"The world is unpredictable." Di Chen himself was still sullen.
Seeing that Dichen and Xiongba were in a stalemate, Zhan Lang stood up as a peacemaker again, saying: "I said everyone should stop blaming each other, and think about how to deal with the current predicament."
Dichen was a little discouraged, waved his hands and said, "What else can we do now? We can only sweep the snow in front of each other, mobilize the army to confront the [Shanhai League] at the border, and wait to see what the old fox will do next."
