Chapter 983 The Greater the Ability, the Greater the Responsibility

Zhang Liang said: "As the Southern Anhui Province was captured by the [Yanhuang League], the imperial court and the [Yanhuang League] are already tense, and a war may break out at any time."

"In this way, the Jiangchuan Province sandwiched between the two appears to be a bit of an eyesore. I suggest that we simply take this opportunity to annex the Jiangchuan Province in one fell swoop, and it can also restore public opinion."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, annexing Jiangchuan Province is not difficult.

At the end of the previous war, the Siege Lion had already indicated that it could be merged into Daxia, but at that time Ouyang Shuo thought about taking over the four provinces, and the court was too busy, so he declined the process of annexing Jiangchuan Province.

One month later, the three major provinces have basically settled down, and the conditions for annexation are already in place.

"Besides annexing the Jiangchuan province, Zifang has other suggestions. It seems that Gaia has been going on for five years. Should Daxia's main strategic goal be aimed at [Yanhuang League], or focus abroad?"

Ouyang Shuo's question does not count as general Zhang Liang's army. Before the ocean voyage, Ouyang Shuo assigned this topic to the Senior Advisor, and now it's time to give an answer.

Zhang Liang solemnly said, "The Ministerial Council's opinion is that the primary goal next year is to solve Annan."

"How to say?"

Zhang Liang didn't answer directly, but took out another map, which was the simplified version of [Global Map].

"It's mainly related to the capital." Zhang Liang pointed to the Lianzhou Basin. "The capital is located at the southernmost tip of the territory. The further north it expands, the weaker the imperial court's control over the northern border will be."

"On the contrary, Annan is the closest to the capital. Whether it is from the sea or land, it may threaten the safety of the capital. Therefore, taking Annan and even several small countries close to it is a top priority. It can not only defend the strategic position of the capital, but also It can control the entire territory more smoothly."

Ouyang Shuo was silent.

The game is no better than reality, and the transportation and communication are extremely underdeveloped, especially after the game map has been expanded ten times, without the help of the teleportation array, it is impossible to control a large empire.

"The suggestion of the Ministerial Council is that if we want to attack the Central Plains, it is best to wait until the three royal cities in the territory are settled before making any calculations. Only the royal city can assume the strategic position of the regional center." Zhang Liang said.

The nine royal cities in China are naturally good to the outside world, but for an overlord like Ouyang Shuo, the existence of the royal cities has become a constraint, like a thorn in his throat.

If it is not resolved in an appropriate way, it will eventually become a hidden danger.

"I'm afraid that raising tigers will cause trouble." Ouyang Shuo was still hesitating.

Zhang Liang said: "[Yanhuang League] is growing stronger, and so are we. When our army conquers cities and territories abroad, will it develop slower than [Yanhuang League] at home?"

"Won't."

"Not attacking the Central Plains doesn't mean letting the Central Plains go. We can use the hands of Luofengcheng and Xichu to wrestle with [Yanhuang League] to curb the rise of [Yanhuang League]."

Ouyang Shuo suddenly smiled, Zhang Liang's statement was interesting.

Prior to this, it had been [Yanhuang League] trying to contain the rise of Shanhai City. It's good now, it's Daxia who is going to contain the rise of the [Yanhuang League] in turn.

In a blink of an eye, the host and the guest changed positions.

"Let me just think about it."

This matter is of great importance, Ouyang Shuo did not immediately draw a conclusion.

"promise!"

Seeing this, Zhang Liang bid farewell and left.

…………

It's night, Royal Garden.

A cool breeze blows and wrinkles a pool of autumn water. The stars are brilliant, looming.

Ouyang Shuo's independent gazebo, looking at the autumn water in the distance and the starry sky at night, his mood is just like them, ups and downs. Regarding the strategy proposed by Zhang Liang during the day, Ouyang Shuo was still hesitant.

"Husband, what's on your mind?"

Song Jia came over, and gently put a golden silk dragon cape on Ouyang Shuo.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, turned around and held his wife's warm little hand. The two stood side by side, facing the lake and looking into the distance. The night wind blew their luxurious cloaks, just like a couple of gods.

The accompanying female officer stayed far outside the gazebo, not daring to disturb her.

Ouyang Shuo didn't hide anything, and told the whole story of the day. After hearing this, Song Jia was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Husband, what is your ideal?"

"Is it ideal?"

Ouyang Shuo suddenly thought of his previous life, when he was very down and out, and his greatest ideal was to live a stable life. When he was reborn, his ideal was not to be resigned to others, but to hold up a piece of sky for Binger.

After that, the ambition continued to expand, but they were all realized one by one.

Suddenly looking back, these seem to be not ideals, but just expanding desires.

As the saying goes: "Given the truth and know the etiquette", if a person is only working hard for his livelihood all day long, how dare he talk about his ideals.

Song Jia said: "My husband has ruled the world, is rich all over the world, has tens of millions of people under his command, and has resources and power in his hands that ordinary people can't match. But there is a good saying, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

Ouyang Shuo was silent.

"My husband's shoulders are not limited to me, Bing'er, and the two unborn children. The responsibility of this small family is also the responsibility of thousands of families. It is even the responsibility of a nation."

"Ethnicity?" Ouyang Shuo was puzzled.

Song Jia said: "Husband, don't you know? You have become a hero of the whole people. You have revived the great reputation of the Huaxia clan in the game, naturalized the world, and ruled the world with kingly ways. Although this matter originated in the game world, it has no impact. It will end in this virtual world. I hope that the planet will be full of thorns, and the Huaxia family wants to take root in the new planet, and needs a new hero to lead them through the thorns."

"A history of a nation is an epic of heroes. The times are calling for heroes. Looking at the whole of China, besides you, Mr. Shefu, who else can win everyone's sincere support? Is Dichen the children of the family who put the interests of the family first? ? No, you are the only one.”

Ouyang Shuo smiled wryly, "Ma'am, you think too highly of me."

Song Jia shook her head, "Husband, you don't need to underestimate yourself. The reason why Bai Hua, Ximen officials, siege lions, and て砆 they willingly attached themselves to Daxia must be other things besides the fetters of interests. They are on your husband. I saw the hope of a nation regaining its peak."

"So, what does this have to do with the current predicament?" Ouyang Shuo decided to avoid this topic. His wife's words made his already restless heart even more turbulent.

It seems that a sprout is digging up the soil on the top of the head and breaking through the ground.

Song Jia smiled slightly, without forcing it, and said: "The current Great Xia doesn't have an overwhelming advantage. It can destroy the [Yanhuang League] in one fell swoop, and Dichen and others are far from losing the hearts of the people."

"If we take the initiative to provoke a war between the two sides at this time, no matter who wins in the end, the overall strength of China will be lost, and all adventurers will be disappointed."

Ouyang Shuo said: "Ma'am, what do you mean [Yanhuang League] will dig their own grave?"

"Based on their behavior, they will show their true colors when their interests conflict, and it will be difficult to maintain any image."

"Also."

Ouyang Shuo tightly held his wife's hand, his heart was extremely clear.

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

December 15th, Shanhai City.

As soon as Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City, the Summer Palace suddenly became the focus of the wilderness. Everyone wanted to know how Daxia would respond to the [Yanhuang League] taking over the southern province of Anhui.

Unfortunately, Ouyang Shuo refused all interviews and kept silent.

Until this morning, the twelve lords of Jiangchuan province, headed by the siege lion, appeared in the summer palace together.

As soon as the news came out, it aroused greater curiosity from the outside world.

At this juncture, King Xia suddenly met with the lords of Jiangchuan Province. If they said there was nothing tricky, they would not believe it if they were killed. However, the Xia Palace is heavily guarded, and no wind can be revealed.

Everyone can only wait anxiously.

This wait is a full three days.

On the morning of December 19th, the External Propaganda Department led by Violet released a short message: "From now on, the twelve territories in Jiangchuan Province will be collectively merged into the Great Xia Dynasty."

As soon as the news came out, the players were stunned.

Someone analyzed: "Big Xia is retaliating with an eye. [Yan Huang League] won the southern province of Anhui, and Da Xia took down the Jiangchuan province that is close to the southern Anhui province without any effort."

On this point, most players agree.

With the merger of Jiangchuan province into Daxia, players in the China region suddenly discovered an astonishing fact that there are only eight lords left in the wilderness of the entire China region.

Except for Ouyang Shuo and Feng Prison Huang, the rest are the six members of [Yanhuang League].

The cruelty of the wilderness and the cruelty of the lord mode, at this moment, are displayed bloody in front of all players, making many adventure players very fortunate that they did not choose the lord mode at the beginning.

In just four years, in the wilderness, countless talented lords fell in a pool of blood, fell on the road to hegemony, and became desolate people in a certain corner of the royal city that no one cares about.

He Fo, Qin Feng, Xunlong Dianxue, Feng Qingyang...

One by one once brilliant names were gradually forgotten and became the losers in this big drama.

As every inch of land is brought under the rule of the territory, the wilderness is no longer the wilderness, but the world. A great era of "heroes vying for the throne and princes fighting for hegemony" has come.

Among the seventeen provinces in China, the Central Plains province is temporarily unowned, and the Eastern Lu province is occupied by Western Chu. Of the remaining fifteen provinces, only Daxia occupies eight and a half provinces.

This also means that half of the territory in China has already belonged to Daxia.

What's more interesting is that, whether it's a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement from the heavens, a north-south confrontation has formed between Daxia and the [Yanhuang League].

Perhaps this world can no longer be called the feudal hegemony, but two powers vying for supremacy. The two powers are both colossal, powerful and suffocating, but they are also sworn enemies.

Players can't help but ask themselves: "Will there be a fight?" Just thinking about it makes people shudder.

Although everyone is worried, they also understand that the initiative of the war does not lie with the [Yanhuang League], nor do they "spectators", but the king who makes people admire and fear.

The Summer Palace once again became the focus of the whole world.

Even Di Chen and the others were so nervous that they couldn't breathe. They didn't know what choice the silent man would make.

Unfortunately, Xia Gong has been silent.
