Guilin County, Bushan City.

Bushan City is located in the middle of Guilin County and is the largest city in the county. Outside the city is the world-famous Li River. It goes down the river along the river, and the mountains and rivers of Guilin are beautiful.

The General Command of the Alliance Army is located in Bushan City.

As the county sweep operation approached the end, all the lords moved to Bushan City together.

In the battle of Zhaoqing County, the lords of [Sansu League] collectively followed the army to fight, but they all ended up committing suicide and returning to the city. Since then, the lords have been very cautious about going on the fight with the army.

[Southern Hunan City] Only Caiyun City Lord Caiyun South, and another lord named Guhenxiao.

Guhenxiao is the lord of the famous general Li Mu.

As for the northern Sichuan province, the city-state has not yet been established. Therefore, the expedition was only more than ten lords in the southern part of the province. The representative figure among them was named Ximen Daguanren.

As the name suggests, it is rumored that Ximen Daren is a famous playboy in reality. When he enters the game, relying on the support of his family, he has also made a huge world.

In the northern Sichuan province, Ximen Daguanren can be regarded as the number one figure.

The lords gathered in Bushan City this time, in addition to being in charge of command, the most important thing was to discuss the issue of post-war interest distribution. In such a large Guilin County, no matter how you look at it, it is a piece of fat.

After taking it, how to distribute this cake is too particular.

In addition, how to arrange the garrison of Guilin County after the war was also an important issue. Since Guilin County has been taken down, no one will think about getting a vote and leaving.

To manage Guilin County, a large army is naturally needed.

Although the coalition forces caught Shanhaicheng off guard this time, their fear of Shanhaicheng did not weaken at all, and instead they would guard against this tiger more closely.

It is reported that the northern Sichuan Province has begun to form a city-state in order to more effectively fight against Shanhai City.

It is precisely this that the coalition forces thought of taking down two passes immediately.

As long as you defend Xuanwu Pass and Guiping Pass, Guilin County will be foolproof. On the contrary, if the two major passes are lost and you have to defend Guilin County, you will get half the result with twice the effort.

On the morning of the 24th, the battle reports of the two major passes were successively transmitted to the command center.

Xuanwu Pass was successfully captured, but Guiping Pass was defended by Shanhai City.

When all the lords received the news, they didn't know what to do. They were as if they were suddenly stuck in mid-air, neither going up nor down, which made people feel uncomfortable.

The defeat at Guiping Pass made some lords frightened. They were worried that when they woke up, the vast army of Shanhai City would enter Guilin County and fight to the death with them.

There was only one person who was calm in his heart. He was the lord of Caiyun City - Caiyun South.

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

The city lord's mansion, the west crossing courtyard.

The courtyard here is where Caiyun is located, and the courtyard is under high security inside and outside.

Above the main hall, the colorful clouds sit in the middle.

At the bottom was a middle-aged scholar sitting with a white face and no beard, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, which was very impressive. This scholar was the military advisor mentioned by Li Mu, and he was also an amazing person.

A scribe is nothing else, but Zhang Liang, who is known as the saint.

Zhang Liang, whose courtesy name was Zifang, was an outstanding strategist in the late Qin and early Han dynasties. He was known as the "Three Masters of the Han Dynasty" together with Han Xin and Xiao He. He was born into a noble family, and his grandfather, father and other ancestors served as the prime minister of the Han kings of the Five Dynasties in Yangdi, the capital of South Korea.

Because Han was destroyed by Qin, Zhang Liang decided to rebel against Qin.

He once advised Liu Bang to speak in a gentle manner at the Hongmen Banquet, preserve his strength, and clear Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo, so that Liu Bang could escape. Later, he used his outstanding wisdom to assist Liu Bang in the ultimate victory in the Chu-Han War, and helped Empress Lu support Liu Ying to ascend the position of crown prince, and was named Liu Hou.

Zhang Liang was proficient in Huang-Lao's way and did not care about power. In his later years, he was said to have followed Chi Songzi to travel around.

Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, commented on him: "In the planning and planning, we win thousands of miles away, and I am not as good as Zifang." He showed Zhang Liang's clever planning and civil and military strategies.

People in later generations respected their outstanding strategies and called them "Sage of Scheming".

It is precisely because he is known as the "Sage of Scholars", that Zhang Liang's rating is one level higher than Bai Qi, Han Xin, Xiao He and others, and he is a serious saint-level historical figure.

Caiyun Zhinan was able to get the assistance of Zhang Liang, and this alone shows his extraordinaryness.

You should know that although there are many saint-level figures like Jiang Shang, Sun Wu, Mencius, and Mo Zi who settled in Shanhai City, they are not considered to be a real official, and they are different from Zhang Liang.

Caiyun South is probably the first lord who has truly won the service of a holy-level figure.

I have to say that this person is extremely cunning and hidden very deeply. No wonder he can stand out in the Battle of Julu and become the most dazzling dark horse.

In fact, during the Battle of Julu, Caiyun Nan triggered the subjugation mission of Zhang Liang, and waited until the Battle of Julu, Caiyun Nan experienced many twists and turns in the wilderness, and after several difficult tests, he truly won Zhang Liang's favor.

The hardships are not something that lords like Ouyang Shuo who easily subdue historical talents. After all, no matter in the battle map or in the wilderness, no talent that Ouyang Shuo likes has been spent on many twists and turns, and they are considered to be relatively smoothly captured.

The only exception is probably Jiang Shang.

This old man made Ouyang Shuo try his best to agree to serve as the president of Southwest University.

In addition, it is Fan Li recently.

I don’t know if the Black Snake Guard found Fan Li.

...

"Zifang, this time Guiping Pass was not successfully won, what remedies do you have?" It is precisely because it is hard-won that you can be said to be obedient and almost unconditional trust in Zhang Liang and Caiyun Zhinan.

Zhang Liang smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "Lord, don't worry. It's not surprising that Guiping Pass was not taken down, it's still within my expectations. After all, our opponent is not an ordinary person."

"So, ovary already has a solution?" Caiyun Zhinan asked.

"Yes. Guiping Pass was not taken down, so it was not difficult. We just need to build a large pass at the entrance of Guilin County Mountain Road. In this way, we can also achieve the goal of defending the enemy from outside."

"A clever plan!" Caiyun Zhinan was overjoyed.

"But the lord must not be careless about Xuanwu Pass." Zhang Liang changed his mind, "Xuanwu Pass is not dangerous at all. If we can easily capture it, the Shanhaicheng army can naturally be easily recaptured. Therefore, the most urgent task is to strengthen the garrison of Xuanwu Pass."

"If it makes sense, I will make arrangements later." Caiyun Zhinan nodded and said, "The army responsible for sweeping Guilin County has completed its mission at this time. They can arrange for them to enter Xuanwu Pass."

"Increasing the garrison is only a symptom-based solution. If you want to truly defend Xuanwu Pass, you must transform Xuanwu Pass into a solid fortress, so that you can be foolproof." Zhang Liang added.

"Building two fortresses at the same time is probably a huge cost."

When Cai Yun Zhinan heard this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, and there was obviously an indescribable hidden secret.

Zhang Liang was so smart. Seeing this, he looked like this and guessed it. He asked, "But what different ideas do other lords have in their post-war planning for Guilin County?"

According to Zhang Liang's plan before the war, the northern Sichuan Province and the [South Hunan City State] joined hands to take over Guilin County while Shanhai City is unprepared. The main purpose is not to occupy the territory, but to obtain a strategic buffer zone between Shanhai City and the two major provinces.

After all, for the lords of the two major provinces, except Caiyun City, other territories are still in the county stage, and there is no problem of insufficient territory at the moment.

Within the province alone, there is enough territory for them to struggle.

Therefore, if it is just to occupy the territory, there is no need to make such a big fanfare.

The most fundamental thing to capture Guilin County is to consider it from a strategic perspective. After all, if Shanhai City is allowed to successfully capture Guilin County, then Shanhai City's territory will directly border the two major provinces.

I could not allow others to snore on the side of the bed. When I thought of such a tiger sleeping beside them, none of the lords of the two provinces dared to sleep with peace of mind.

It is precisely this that the war came into being.

The situation will be completely different if the coalition forces take Guilin County.

If Shanhaicheng wants to go north to attack the two major provinces, it will not be able to overcome this level of Guilin County. In this way, the two major provinces will have enough reaction time and then respond calmly.

In addition, starting a war in Guilin County can also achieve the strategic goal of defending the enemy outside the territory, and will not burn the war to the local areas of the two major provinces.

This move can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Therefore, within the coalition forces before the war, after the capture of Guilin County, there was a clear plan for Guilin County. That is, to divide Guilin County into a military co-managed area as a whole, and the fiscal revenue generated by Guilin County itself will be invested in supporting the coalition forces stationed in Guilin County.

In this way, it can not only support a huge coalition force, but also not cause additional financial burdens on each territory. It is equivalent to spending other people's money to supply your own army.

It can be said that whether from the layout before the war or the arrangement after the war, the entire set of plans are closely linked and have strong operationality and forward-lookingness.

The craftsman of this plan was Zhang Liang.

It was this plan that impressed the lords of the [Southern Hunan City State] and also impressed the lords of the northern Sichuan Province represented by Ximen Daguanren.

But what Zhang Liang did not expect was that after he truly achieved the results and picked the fruits of victory, some lords could no longer sit still in the face of huge benefits.

In other words, the lords developed selfishness in this matter.

In fact, before Caiyun Zhinan came to meet Zhang Liang, he had a meeting with other lords. The lords meant to divide the property they collected in this battle directly, and each person would divide it first.
