In the afternoon of the same day, Ouyang Shuo placed Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan in place.

The Southern Xinjiang Protectorate Office issued an appointment, appointing Xiahou Dun as the Director of the Combat Readiness Administration under the General Administration of Military Affairs. The former Chief of the Combat Readiness Administration Ge Hongliang was transferred to the Nanyang Navy Command under the establishment, responsible for preparing the Nanyang Navy logistics system.

Xiahou Dun, a logistics general, is most suitable for the War Readiness Administration.

Similarly, the Nanyang Navy Command, which was just in its infancy, will soon embark on the right track with the assistance of Ge Hongliang, the veteran combat readiness director.

As for Xiahou Yuan, he joined Ma Chao and others in the Army Martial Arts Hall and became a student of the same period.

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

On September 11, Lingxi City.

Early in the morning, Lingxi City announced martial law across the city, especially in the inner city, which was even more idle.

Lingxi City is a second-level county city, and also has two teleportation arrays. White light flashes in the inner city teleportation array, and Ouyang Shuo walked out of the teleportation array surrounded by the soldiers of the Shenwu Guard.

"Welcome without clothes!"

Bai Hua smiled and greeted Violet and others.

Speaking of which, this is Ouyang Shuo's first official visit to Lingxi City.

Therefore, the reception specifications arranged by Bai Hua this time are very high. Not only are the four major actresses "Blue, Red, Purple and White" present, but also the civil servants and generals such as Cao Shen, Cao Hong and Cao Chun were also listed one by one.

Give Ouyang Shuo enough face.

Even though martial law has been strictly enforced, such a situation still falls into the eyes of "people who are interested". I believe that the news that Ouyang Shuo appeared in Lingxi City in a high-profile manner will spread throughout the Chinese region.

At this critical moment, Ouyang Shuo's sudden visit was naturally unusual. Some people had predicted that the starting gun of the Meng Ding battle would be in Ouyang Shuo's hands and could be fired at any time.

In this way, the secret spies from all sides jumped up and down like they had caught medicine, and all their methods were taken.

The master behind them received news and almost unanimous instructions: "It is important to find out clearly, why do you think Wuyi's purpose is to visit Lingxi City this time? Are you ready to start a war?"

The wilderness war involving hundreds of thousands and millions of troops was no longer the same as Shanhai City's siege at that time. It could be initiated at any time and ended at any time.

War is a major event for the country.

Shanhai City has prepared for this battle for half a year.

The food, supplies, weapons and equipment consumed during the period, if converted into gold coins, had already exceeded 2 million. Even Shanhai City could not support the successive battles.

Therefore, since you want to fight, you must win it in one battle.

No matter which side fails, it will be severely damaged and even fail to recover.

No one dares to take it lightly.

Even if it was as powerful as a mountain and sea city, the army did not start fighting immediately after reaching the border.

...

After the simple welcome ceremony, Ouyang Shuo and Bai Hua had a two-hour secret conversation in the study. Not only did Jia Xu, who was accompanying him, but even Violet and others were excluded.

There were only Ouyang Shuo and Bai Hua at the meeting place.

If it weren't for the "self-discipline" image that Ouyang Shuo has always maintained, it would inevitably make people wonder whether the two were having a secret conversation or dating.

In fact, Ouyang Shuo’s conversation with Bai Hua did not involve this battle.

The specific combat plan for the war has long been decided, and the generals have made flexibly adjustments during implementation. They don’t have to worry about the two lords, and they can’t worry about it.

The two talked about the post-war situation and the arrangements for Lingxi City.

"In the future, at the right time, Shanhai City will set up a provincial governor at the county level or above the county level, and the governor in some places and other places. The position of governor in Yunnan Province is left for you, how about it?" Ouyang Shuo proposed to annex Lingxi City's biggest bargaining chip.

The game map is expanded ten times larger. If Shanhaicheng occupy Yunnan Province, southern Sichuan Province and Lingnan Province, the sum of the three major provinces will be equivalent to the complete map of ancient China.

Not to mention, the territory will continue to expand in the future.

With such a vast territory under management, with the ancient communication conditions, if the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate had always been connected with the county level, it would not only be too busy, but also inefficient.

Therefore, when appropriate, a provincial governor must be established to assist in general military and political affairs of the province.

The provincial governor in the game has more authority than the Qing Dynasty governor. Especially in China, a province is equivalent to a country in Europe.

Being able to be the provincial governor in China is basically the limit of Bai Hua, and he is already considered a well-deserved giant among the lords of the Chinese region.

I didn't see Di Chen, Chunshenjun and others, after occupying a province, did not rush to continue to expand, but began a long digestion cycle.

Even with their family's background, it is impossible to swallow a province in one go.

What's more, it's white birch.

Therefore, the conditions proposed by Ouyang Shuo are very tempting for Baihua.

"You are generous." Bai Hua smiled, feeling a little surprised, and then asked, "Where are Violets and the others? What are you going to make arrangements?"

Lingxi City is shared by Lingxi Studio, not Bai Hua alone.

"They are willing to continue to follow you and will always find a suitable position in the future Governor's Office. If I don't mind, I hope they can find a suitable position in the entire territory based on their own strengths." The three Violet women each have their own strengths, so Ouyang Shuo naturally does not want talents to be buried.

Bai Hua nodded, Ouyang Shuo was full of sincerity.

"Can General Zhang Liao retain his position?" Bai Hua continued to ask.

Zhang Liao is now serving as the commander of the Lingxi City Field Army. If Lingxi City is incorporated into Shanhai City, it may not be possible for Zhang Liao to continue as the commander of the Legion in Shanhai City, which is full of powerful generals.

Anyway, Zhang Liao is also a veteran who has always followed Bai Hua.

Bai Hua seemed cold, but in fact she felt very human, otherwise she would not have fought for Zhang Liao.

Ouyang Shuo thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Yes."

After Shanhai City expanded its army again, the position of commander of the legion was no longer a patent for imperial-level generals. In addition, Zhang Liao is considered a top-level general among the king-level generals, so it is not too much to be the commander of the legion.

“Happy cooperation!”

Baihua took the initiative to stretch out her white and tender hands.

“Happy cooperation!”

Ouyang Shuo gently held the other party's little hand and smiled.

If outsiders see them, they may have regarded the two as crazy. Before the battle started, they had already set up their respective territory, which was really arrogant.

But both Ouyang Shuo and Bai Hua took it for granted.

Like them, they are all proud people at heart.

After preparing for so long, Ouyang Shuo never thought about failure!

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

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Shuo and Bai Hua who left the study attended the press conference that had been prepared long ago. In the hall, major media led by "Daily Express" were already ready.

At the press conference, Bai Hua announced a major news.

"From now on, Lingxi City will be incorporated into the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate's Office as a whole, and will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate's Office." Bai Hua said lightly.

"Wow!!!"

Even if these reporters were mentally prepared, they never thought it would be such a big news.

The notice they received was that there was a major news in Lingxi City today. When Ouyang Shuo appeared in Lingxi City, the reporter thought of the battle between Meng Ding.

I never thought that I heard such a message.

"Lingxi City is incorporated into Nanjing Protectorate? Today is not April Fool's Day!" The reporter collapsed in his heart, "Lingxi City itself is a wilderness. How is that possible?"

The reporter began to ask: "Lord Bai Birch, why did he suddenly make this decision?"

"It's not a sudden." Bai Hua didn't get involved. "The cooperation negotiation between Lingxi City and Shanhai City has already begun. This time, the lord of the unclothed lord visited Lingxi City to make the final confirmation."

"Is it convenient to reveal the specific details of the cooperation? Did Lingxi City be forced to be annexed under the pressure of Shanhai City?" The reporter refused to give in.

"The details of the cooperation are confidential and are inconvenient to be announced to the public." Bai Hua's expression remained unchanged. "The cooperation between Lingxi City and Shanhai City is a win-win process, and there is no problem of coercion."

"You should understand that this is not the first time that the [Shanhai Alliance] merged into Shanhai City. As early as two years ago, Mulan County in the Lianzhou Basin was merged into Shanhai City. Mulan Yue, the lord of Mulan County, is now the county magistrate of Zhen'an County." Ouyang Shuo patiently explained, regardless of the thoughts of the reporter who asked the question: "This cooperation between Shanhai City and Lingxi City adheres to the principle of common development."

After Ouyang Shuo interrupted this, the other party was speechless.

Mulanyue was promoted from an inconspicuous lord to a county magistrate. No one can say that Ouyang Shuo was maliciously cheating his allies and had bad intentions.

Think about the other lords in the Lianzhou Basin, they have long disappeared.

Only Mulan Yue is still active in the wilderness, and its light is becoming more and more dazzling.

What Ouyang Shuo said about win-win is not empty talk.

It is precisely this that Ouyang Shuo was able to gain the trust of Bai Hua and others.

Good reputation, sometimes stronger than the army.

"May I ask the Lord of the Clothes, is this merger targeting the upcoming Mengding war?" The clever reporter cleverly turned the topic to the upcoming war.

Ouyang Shuo smiled and was confident: "The cooperation between Lingxi City and Shanhai City was decided three months ago and has nothing to do with the battle between Meng Ding."

"Of course," Ouyang Shuo changed his tone, "After the merger, the two armies will be unified in command and dispatch. In this way, it will be beneficial to the next battle, and we do not deny that."

"So, the Lord without Clothes is full of confidence in this battle?"

The last question was the reporter of "Daily Express" and an old friend of Shanhaicheng.

Ouyang Shuo stood up and faced the media. He looked ahead with a firm look: "I believe that Shanhaicheng will win! [Yunnan City State] If you take the initiative to provoke Shanhaicheng, you must pay the price of bleeding!"
Chapter completed!
