Chapter 956

[Yanhuang League] The choice to accept Caiyun City at this time is obviously carefully planned. If it is too early, it is easy to expose the target and arouse Daxia's vigilance; if it is too late, it will not be able to deter Daxia, and it will be self-defeating.

If Daxia attacks Caiyun City at this time, [Yanhuang League] can send over to support at any time.

What Ouyang Shuo didn't know was that Dichen and the others had even made up their minds that they would rather sacrifice Swordsman City than Caiyun City for two reasons.

First, the Feng Family of Swordsman City had always been outside the system of the [Yanhuang League], but this time they took shelter of the Shuhan Dynasty, which disgraced the [Yanhuang League].

Di Chen had already planned to drive Jianxia City out of the alliance after the war.

Compared with the Feng family, Caiyun Zhinan, a civilian player with almost no foundation, is too easy to control.

Second, compared to Swordsman City, which only occupies two counties, Caiyun City, which is about to occupy the entire southern Hunan Province, is undoubtedly a more powerful ally, able to effectively curb the expansion of Great Xia in the central region.

In a disguised form, it also defended the safety of Danyang City, which is why Feng Qingyang willingly sent troops to assist Caiyun City in attacking Changsha County and Changde County.

These two points are enough for Di Chen and others to support Caiyun City.

But in the end, they still underestimated Ouyang Shuo's determination and Da Xia's will.

*************

October 11th, Shanhai City.

The southern province of Shonan is full of wars, but Shanhai City is as prosperous as a pity, and it is not affected by the war at all. What to do, even the players living in Shanhai City are not worried about the war far away in the sky.

In the imperial study room, Ouyang Shuo summoned Du Ruhui, Minister of Military Affairs, to discuss the matter of Caiyun City.

"Keming thinks, should we attack Caiyun City right now?"

Du Ruhui's attitude was very firm, and he said: "My lord, I believe that the troops should be dispatched immediately."

"reason?"

"The province of southern Hunan is located in the hinterland of the south. If Caiyun City is allowed to unify southern Hunan and integrate into the [Yanhuang League] system, it will be a major obstacle for the dynasty to unify the southern region, or even deploy the southwest. The second province of southern Hunan Existence will pose a huge burden to the dynasty's northern border defense, and the border line will at least double. There is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to defend against a thief for a thousand days."

Du Ruhui concluded: "Instead of being afraid, it's better to do your best in one battle, and take this opportunity to completely solve the [Shunan city-state]'s problem."

As expected of Du Ruhui, he acted decisively and simply.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, and Du Ruhui's thoughts coincided with his, and then asked: "At present, the Leopard Army has only three legions stationed in the northern border. They must guard against the [Northern Sichuan city-state] and enter the southern Hunan Province to fight. The deployment of troops is somewhat stretched, how to solve it?"

The 4th Legion of the Leopard Army was ordered to garrison Stone City, and the 5th Legion was stationed in Tianjing City, responsible for monitoring the satellite cities outside Tianjing City, so only the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Legions were actually deployed on the border.

Not to mention [Yanhuang League] reinforcements, only the two field armies of Caiyun City and the two field armies of Danyang City are active in the southern Hunan province.

If you want to win the southern Hunan Province, it may be very difficult to rely on the Baotao army alone.

Du Ruhui said: "The satellite city outside Tianjing City has entered the right track and is under the control of [Blood Shadow Alliance]. You can dispatch the Fifth Army of the Leopard Army to the border to monitor [North Sichuan City-State]."

"The tiger and leopard cavalry led by Ma Chao have completed the task of sweeping Yuncheng, and the rest of the aftermath can be handed over to the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard to take over. Wei Chen suggested that the remaining 40,000 tiger and leopard cavalry be sent to Lingxi City, after meeting with Ma Chao, we will go north together."

Ouyang Shuo nodded. With the support of two major armies, the battle of southern Hunan is 70% certain. But Ouyang Shuo has always liked to cut through messes quickly, and he didn't want the battle in southern Hunan to drag on for too long.

It was already mid-October, and all the wars had to be resolved before November, otherwise, Ouyang Shuo's planned second ocean voyage would be blocked.

A few days ago, the Navy Command has completed the formation of the Royal Fleet according to Ouyang Shuo's request.

According to the establishment, the Royal Fleet is equipped with only one navy formation, equipped with 40 Z1-type main warships, 160 warships, more than 500 red horse boats, and several non-war ships such as horse boats and grain ships.

In addition, it is Ouyang Shuo's new flagship - Yuhuang. The keel of the flagship is the black dragon keel that Ouyang Shuo found in Dragon Island, which endows Yuhuang with special attributes.

The entire fleet has a strength of more than 22,000 people and a crew of more than 3,000, accounting for only one-fifth of the conventional fleet.

Even so, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Fleet was still awarded the post of Admiral of the Navy, which was at the same level as the commander-in-chief of the five major fleets, to demonstrate the extraordinary status and positioning of the Royal Fleet.

After much deliberation, Ouyang Shuo finally selected Gan Ning, commander of the Southern Border Fleet, to be promoted to Admiral of the Royal Fleet. Just yesterday, Gan Ning was ordered to go to Beihai City to receive the fleet and prepare to go to sea at any time.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo said leisurely, "Looking at it this way, the pawn of the official Ximen should be moved."

Before the start of the war, the senior officials of Ximen wrote to Ouyang Shuo, agreeing to assist Daxia in bringing the entire [Northern Sichuan city-state] into Daxia's territory in an appropriate way.

At this point, it is time to fulfill the promise.

Du Ruhui was startled, his eyes widened, and he said, "What does your majesty mean, that you plan to solve all the problems of the two major city-states at once?"

This was even bigger than Du Ruhui expected.

Ouyang Shuo just smiled, and said, "Since they don't know what to do, then we should just do something big, once and for all, and completely take down the entire Southwest."

Caiyun Zhinan, as the leader of [Shunan City-state], turned his back on the city-state this time and chose to get involved with [Yanhuang League], which undoubtedly shook the foundation of [Shunan City-state].

And [North Sichuan City-State] has always shared weal and woe with [Shunan City-State], if something happens to [Shunan City-State], [Northern Sichuan City-State] will inevitably be affected, and cannot be alone.

Right now, the lords of the two major city-states are probably like ants on a hot pot, anxious and don't know what to do.

Coupled with the help of Ximen's senior officials, the destruction of the two major city-states in one fell swoop seems to be a matter of course. Speaking of which, Caiyun Zhinan helped Ouyang Shuo a lot this time.

"The king is holy!"

Du Ruhui subdued unconsciously, this is the heart of an emperor.

Ouyang Shuo said: "The Military Aircraft Department hastened to formulate a complete battle plan, and use all available resources." After such a long period of management, Daxia has no foundation at all in the two major city-states. If [Yanhuang League] underestimates Great Xia's influence in the city-state is bound to fail.

"promise!"

Du Ruhui nodded in agreement, took his leave and left, he knew very well that this battle involved a lot, and he had to figure out a clue as soon as possible, and tonight would probably last all night again.

*************

Caiyun City's actions caused the two major city-states that were originally outside of the great war to suddenly become turbulent, and were drawn into the maelstrom from which they could no longer escape.

That night, more than a dozen secret letters were sent to Ouyang Shuo before the case. These were the allies of the Great Xia in the two major city-states, asking Ouyang Shuo for advice on how to deal with it.

Naturally, Ouyang Shuo was unambiguous, decisively flashed his sword, and issued clear instructions one by one. At the same time, he reiterated his commitment to these lords in the letter, so as to reassure him and strengthen his courage.

After getting a reply, the confidence of those lords doubled, and they seemed to see the advent of a new era. That night, the major territories began to gather troops to cooperate with the Great Xia Army to complete a subversive battle against the two major city-states.

In this battle, no one can retreat.

On October 12th, almost at the same time, [Shunan City-state] and [Northern Sichuan City-state] each had a small half of their territories publicly declared that they would withdraw from their respective city-states and voluntarily bring them under the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty.

As a result, the only two major city-states in China disintegrated within a day, announcing the end of the city-state era that had once flourished, and withdrew from the stage of history.

As soon as the news came out, players in the Chinese region were filled with emotion, feeling like witnessing the era of history.

With the disintegration of the two major city-states, a pure Warring States era has quietly descended on the wilderness. The following wilderness will be purely the stage of [Shanhai League] and [Yanhuang League].

Even the supporting roles are gone, the two major alliances are destined to start a face-to-face contest, and every time there is a contest, some giants will fall, such as the current swordsman city.

After the players sighed, they couldn't restrain their excitement, because this signal couldn't be more obvious. Facing the provocation from Caiyun City and [Yanhuang League], Daxia has accepted the challenge!

The two behemoths in the China area, when the battle in Swordsman City was pending, unexpectedly opened up another bigger battlefield, and launched a life-and-death battle that no one expected.

Who will win the deer, especially unknown.

This epic battle sweeping the entire wilderness is ushering in the most exciting moment. Every Chinese player who pays attention to the pattern of the wilderness and current affairs keeps his eyes wide open for fear of missing the wonderful moment.

The major media even dispatched teams of war reporters to follow up and report at any time.

Even foreign countries are paying attention to this battle in China, not for any other reason, but because one of the protagonists in this battle is the Great Xia Dynasty, which is closely related to them and wants to rule the world.

Almost at the same time as the announcement was made in these territories, the first, second, and third armies of the Great Xia Leopard Army, under the command of Han Xin, the leader of the Leopard Army, brazenly invaded Caiyun City under the banner of protecting their allies.

The Fifth Corps of the Baotao Army and the Second Corps of the Imperial Guard were ordered one by one to march north.

After receiving the news, the territory in southern Hunan province that had been attacked by Caiyun City and Danyang City, as if they had received a savior, quickly assembled and resolutely resisted the invasion, determined to persist until the arrival of Daxia's reinforcements.

And almost at the same time when Baotao's army set off, Dichen and others issued an announcement in the name of [Yanhuang League], declaring that they would never sit back and watch Caiyun City be invaded by Daxia.

Poor Swordsman City has once again become a wild child that no one cares about. The eyes of the entire China region are attracted by the two major provinces in the southwest, sitting and watching the battle between the Great Xia Dynasty and the [Yanhuang League].

The even more shocking news happened at noon that day.
