Chapter 1710: Changing Generals

He Lingchuan turned back to close the doors and windows, and set up a barrier. Zhong Shengguang poured him a glass of water himself: "I met several foreign envoys just now, they are from the three southern Wutuo nations, intending to form an alliance and trade with us."

He said this without hiding his joy.

He Lingchuan laughed: "Arrogant before, respectful after!"

These three countries were originally not very friendly with Panlongcheng. Panlongcheng tried to form an alliance with the south a few years ago, and encountered great resistance there; a few years later, Panlongcheng grew bigger and stronger, and temporarily withstood the pressure of Beijia, so these small southern countries became active, their faces became kind, and they formed a group to talk to Panlongcheng about business and cooperation.

Sure enough, status is determined by strength.

"Borrowing the way from the Wutuo Nation, Panlongcheng can open another way for foreign trade! Otherwise, relying solely on Longchuan is too dangerous." Once Longchuan is blocked or occupied, the communication between Panlongcheng and the outside world will be pinched again. There cannot be only one way to open up to the outside world. Zhong Shengguang has this foresight, so he must open up the second effective path for communication with the outside world as soon as possible.

"Several small countries in the south have good ports, although the road conditions are more complicated, and it is not completely owned by Panlongcheng like Longchuan, but no matter how hard it is to walk, it is a road after all." He Lingchuan then said, "They are all poor and are not as afraid of Beijia as Panlongcheng. If Panlongcheng opens a trade route there, the regions along the way will benefit. As long as they taste the sweetness, even if Beijia suppresses it later, they will be reluctant to break this trade route."

It can also give Panlongcheng more room to maneuver.

Zhong Shengguang nodded: "It must be fast, we can't wait for Beijia to make trouble from it."

He Lingchuan is a great general who fights, but his vision is so broad, not limited to war, which is different from generals like General Nanke who only talk about war in war, Zhong Shengguang is particularly gratified.

This is the rising star cultivated by his Panlongcheng!

Subsequently, he asked about the battle situation on the Jinchi front line.

He Lingchuan knew that he suddenly called himself back to Panlongcheng from the Jinchi front line, mostly because he had other plans.

Sure enough, Zhong Shengguang didn't comment after listening, but talked to him about the war on the northwest front line.

Panlongcheng has been attacking Xianyou for a while.

After nearly half a month of consolidation and probing, General Hong achieved success in one fell swoop, waded across the big river that Xianyou Nation regarded as a natural moat, and approached the capital of Xianyou.

Xianyou Nation resisted desperately, Beijia actively transported materials, and some monsters "spontaneously" joined the battle of Xianyou Nation.

At the same time, two Beijia armies also entered the territory of Baling and stationed there.

This is called "pressing the formation," pressing Baling Nation to fight against General Hong.

Beijia has discovered that Baling Nation is half-hearted, wavering between it and Panlongcheng, and is unwilling to deal with Panlongcheng like Xianyou Nation with its neck stiff.

Easy to handle, Beijia moved its army into Baling territory and forced it in real-time.

Beijia troops are all eyeing Baling territory, does Baling Nation still want to ride the wall? It must express its position immediately! The Baling monarch is facing unprecedented pressure at this time.

And He Lingchuan also knows very clearly that the progress of the Panlong army is not as expected!

Even with General Hong commanding the overall situation, the speed of the Panlongcheng front line advancing is nearly a month slower than the original, which gives Beijia the opportunity to force Baling Nation to stand in line, thereby increasing the variables of this great war.

Zhong Shengguang asked him:

"Attacking Xianyou is getting harder and harder to fight, what do you think?"

He Lingchuan said without hesitation: "Because General Hong cherishes soldiers."

Zhong Shengguang was not surprised by his answer: "Hmm? Cherishing soldiers is wrong?"

"It's not wrong. The Commander asked me for the reason, this is the reason, regardless of right or wrong." Regarding the northwest war situation, He Lingchuan himself had pondered it countless times, "How many years have Panlongcheng's good days passed? Originally, the whole city had to tighten its belt, and you and General Hong had to concentrate the limited power in your hands to create an elite division, the Dafeng Army."

"Elite means small and refined. How many years has the Dafeng Army been polished? The total number is only a few thousand, and General Hong cherishes it very much. For any great general, sharp soldiers are his backbone and confidence, and the sharpest knife in his hand. The Panlongcheng army is also good, but compared with the Dafeng Army, it is the difference between ordinary iron and divine weapons. So General Hong is best at speed-annihilation battles and Mobile Corps Commander battles, galloping eight hundred miles overnight to take heads. But Xianyou itself is a strong nation, and it has been fighting with Panlongcheng for many years, the army has high combat power, and it is relatively familiar with Panlongcheng's fighting style."

He Lingchuan sighed: "General Hong's fighting style is no problem, but it is just not easy to fight right now, this is an objective fact. You saw this point long ago, so you ordered me to form the Ximo Legion and train the Tiger Wing elite soldiers, just to create another kingly division besides the Dafeng Army."

He successfully completed the task, and the combat capability of Panlongcheng is more than just doubling.

Zhong Shengguang listened carefully, and then asked: "The stalemate will not last long, either we retreat or Xianyou is destroyed, when do you think it is possible to break the situation?"

"Baling may repent and enter the game at any time, which is even more unfavorable to us. So if you want to take down Xianyou quickly in a short time, General Hong can no longer cherish soldiers." He Lingchuan exhaled, "The war on the northwest front line will become extraordinarily cruel and tragic!"

The war has progressed to this point, and it must be fought.

Panlongcheng's attack on Xianyou, once abandoned halfway, the situation will change completely.

So not only Xianyou, which is at a disadvantage, has no choice, but Panlongcheng, which is at an advantage, also has no retreat! And after General Hong changed his fighting style, he must win, otherwise the soldiers sacrificed in vain.

Zhong Shengguang raised his glass, drank it down in one gulp, and exhaled:

"I called you back from the front line because I have another arrangement."

"Commander, please speak." Sure enough, his premonition was very accurate.

"I want you to draw three thousand elites and rush to the northwest front line!" Zhong Shengguang said word by word, "Cooperate with General Hong and attack the capital of Xianyou Nation!"

He Lingchuan's breathing stopped, and his heart beat wildly for a few beats.

He can go to the northwest front line! He stood up abruptly while pressing the table:

"Yes!"

It was rare to see him lose his composure, a trace of a smile appeared in Zhong Shengguang's eyes, and then he became stern again: "Although Xianyou resisted desperately, causing our progress to slow down, the battle has finally been pushed to the capital of Xianyou Nation. Didn't you just say that General Hong cherishes soldiers? You and the three thousand elites under your command will act as reinforcements to help her, and see if you can break the current stalemate and gnaw down that hard bone."

He Lingchuan said firmly: "You will definitely not be disappointed!"
