Chapter 1293: The Weak Will Be Eaten

He Lingchuan looked, a bit surprised: "Xianyou?"

Although Xianyou's territory has been taken down by half by General Hong, cough, but the other half is the hard bone that is most difficult to gnaw, especially with the Bali Nation making trouble from the side.

The northeast passage of Bali was blocked by a volcano; why did Zhong Shengguang want to fight Xianyou instead? "The Tongren passage was blocked by the volcano, and Beijia cannot reinforce Bali in a short time, which is conducive to our attack on Bali." Zhong Shengguang laughed. "Bali also knows this very well, and the letter of surrender was sent to my hand last night."

Bali surrendered? "Is Zhong prepared to accept their surrender?"

"Why not?"

"I'm afraid it's a delaying tactic. Wait until Beijia's reinforcements arrive, but Bali will turn back."

"Not impossible." Zhong Shengguang paced a few steps. "However, for the past year and a half, Bali has frequently shown favor to Panlongcheng; five months ago, we opened a market at the border with Bali; three months ago, both sides lowered tariffs on entry and exit."

He Lingchuan suddenly realized: "No wonder the specialties of Bali have increased in the city and market recently."

He was busy training troops at Ximo Ridge, and the changes in Panlongcheng recently were too great, so he didn't know these details in trade, otherwise it would be easy to deduce the conclusion, that is, the relationship between Panlongcheng and Bali Nation was easing.

Fighting while easing.

This is interesting.

The frequent Emperor's Dew + Lingshan's assistance made Panlongcheng's strength increase greatly, expanding rapidly outward. Xianyou is an example, being beaten and screaming.

But He Lingchuan now got a reminder from Zhong Shengguang, and then recalled carefully, Panlongcheng did indeed move less against Bali, only taking down a few cities and then stopping, and the bilateral relationship rose against the trend, actually doing business.

It's just that in the background of the war, these businesses are not very conspicuous.

It turns out that Bali and Panlongcheng had long been secretly connected? "Why is the Bali King bowing before being arrogant?"

Ten years ago, Bali was the vanguard of invading the Panlong Wilderness, and its face of occupying the cities of the wilderness was even more greedy than Xianyou. Only three or four years ago, Panlongcheng snatched these territories back one by one.

Zhong Shengguang stood with his hands behind his back: "The reason is very simple, it was strong and I was weak before, now the offense and defense have changed."

He Lingchuan understood.

Before and after Zhong Shengguang's worship of gods, Panlongcheng had no land, no people, and no money. Bali Nation wanted to pinch a soft persimmon, so it bullied it to death.

Now Panlongcheng is strong, and its iron hooves have stepped all over the wilderness, so Bali Nation is soft-spoken, wanting to restore good neighborly relations again.

Zhong Shengguang couldn't help but sigh: "You are strong, and the people around you smile. The country is also like this."

He Lingchuan also said: "Now Beijia's protection of Bali is not so comprehensive."

"The Bali King is a smart man, his posture is much softer than Xianyou." Zhong Shengguang shook his head. "Xianyou has been occupied by us for half of its territory, and it is still barking at us."

One is fawning, the other is cursing, who will Zhong Shengguang slap? The answer is self-evident.

"The Bali King wrote me a letter, reaffirming the intention of good neighborliness, and said that the western border and the southwestern border are preparing for spring harvest, for the sake of people's livelihood, please exempt from war." Zhong Shengguang asked, "What do you think this means?"

"Exempt from war on the western and southwestern lines?" He Lingchuan looked at the sand table, thinking for a few breaths, and felt absurd. "Could it be that Bali is hinting to us that it will stand by and watch?"

Xianyou is on the west side of Bali, but now Bali says its western line is for spring harvest and not fighting.

This hint is very clear: in the next few months, it doesn't want to do anything.

"Could it be a trap?" He Lingchuan raised a reasonable question. "Even if it's not, if we attack Xianyou, can Bali suppress Beijia's pressure and not send reinforcements?"

Zhong Shengguang asked him: "Setting aside Beijia's pressure, between Bali and Xianyou, which one do you want to attack first?"

"Of course it's Xianyou." He Lingchuan said without hesitation. "Regardless of territory, population, logistics, or combat power, Xianyou is weaker than Bali."

"In a famine year, the weak will be eaten. This is an old saying in the Panlong Wilderness." Zhong Shengguang pointed to the sand table. "Admiring the strong and bullying the weak, this is also Bali's old tradition. If Panlongcheng must send troops, the target is likely not itself, and it is likely to sacrifice Xianyou."

Bali knows very well that it and Xianyou cannot beat Panlongcheng together, and Beijia cannot be counted on for the time being, so the best way to protect itself is to push a companion out to feed the wolf.

After Panlongcheng takes down Xianyou, it will have to digest it for a long time.

He Lingchuan associated with the real history, Xianyou had long since perished, while Bali had persisted until his era.

There is a reason for it.

"However, soldiers have no constant situation. Once our offensive is not fierce enough, or we encounter trouble halfway, Bali Nation may also take the opportunity to turn back and send troops." He Lingchuan also reminded Zhong Shengguang. "As you said, the Bali King is a smart man. Once he thinks there is an opportunity to take advantage of, he may no longer stand by and watch."

"Not bad, so our attack on Xianyou must be thunderous." The teaching stick moved on the sand table. "We must take down the Xianyou capital with the speed of thunder, just like taking down the Xiji Nation back then."

The main point is the word "fast."

In the world's tactics, only speed cannot be broken.

He Lingchuan straightened his back and said seriously: "Please order, Commander."

The smoke of war is about to rise!

In this wilderness, peace has always been short.

Zhong Shengguang wants to attack Xianyou quickly, and he must make secret and thorough deployments first. He Lingchuan took a deep breath:

Finally, he can lead the army into the main battlefield!

Zhong Shengguang saw through what he was thinking, and waved his hand: "Don't be impatient, your battlefield is not in Xianyou."

Huh? He Lingchuan was stunned.

Not in Xianyou, where else could it be! It was rare for him to write his emotions on his face, and Zhong Shengguang couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, your Ximo soldiers have other uses!"

He Lingchuan calmed down: "Please instruct."

"I have other intelligence here, about Xiro."

Panlongcheng's mother country, Xiro.

Speaking of this, Zhong Shengguang's smile gradually sank.

"Many years ago, after Xiro broke its promise to Panlongcheng for the first time, I did two things: one was to send people to sneak into Xiro, and the other was to get in touch with old friends in the Xiro court."

Xiro Nation once ordered Panlongcheng to send elite troops back to the country to support the war, and promised that Panlongcheng people could return to the country. Zhong Shengguang did so, but Xiro Nation broke its promise. After this incident, Zhong Shengguang learned from the pain and never trusted easily again.

He wanted to grasp the first-hand dynamics of the country himself.

"You and I both know that the mother country is weak, but the current Xiro is even worse than when the old King was in power!" Zhong Shengguang always felt angry when talking about these things. "After Xiro surrendered to Beijia, Beijia not only sent troops to Xiro, but also sent a supervisor."
