Zhang Liang said: "With the southern Anhui province being taken down by the [Yanhuang League], there is already a tense battle between the court and the [Yanhuang League], and a war may break out at any time."

"In this way, the Jiangchuan Province sandwiched between them seems a bit annoying. The Weichen suggested that we should take this opportunity to merge the Jiangchuan Province in one fell swoop, and we can also save it in public opinion."

Ouyang Shuo nodded. It was not difficult to acquire Jiangchuan Province.

At the end of the previous battle, the siege lion had already stated that it could be merged into Daxia. However, Ouyang Shuo considered taking over the four major provinces and the court was too busy, so he refused to reorganize the Jiangchuan province.

A month has passed, and the three major provinces have basically settled down and the conditions for mergers have been met.

"In addition to the merger of Jiangchuan Province, Zifang has other suggestions. It seems that Gaia has been in five years. Daxia's main strategic goal is to target [Yanhuang League] or to focus abroad?"

Ouyang Shuo asked this question, not as the general Zhang Liang's army. Before the long-distance voyage, Ouyang Shuo assigned this topic to the Zizheng Pavilion, and now it is time to give an answer.

Zhang Liang said solemnly: "The Zizheng Pavilion's opinion is that the primary goal next year is to solve Annan."

“How to say it?”

Zhang Liang did not answer directly, but took out another map, which was the simple version of [Global Geometric Map].

"It's mainly related to the capital." Zhang Liang pointed to the Lianzhou Basin and said, "The capital is located at the southernmost end of the territory. The more you expand northward, the weaker the imperial court's control over the northern border."

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

Ouyang Shuo was silent.

Games are not as realistic as traffic and communications are extremely underdeveloped, especially after the game map is expanded ten times, if you do not use the teleportation array, you will not be able to control a huge empire at all.

"The Zizheng Pavilion's suggestion is to guide the Central Plains, it is best to wait until the three royal cities in the territory are solved before making any decisions. Only the royal city can bear the strategic position of the regional center." Zhang Liang said.

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

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

"I'm afraid of raising a tiger as a disaster." Ouyang Shuo was still hesitating.

Zhang Liang said: "[Yanhuang League] is strong, and we are also strong. Will our army develop slowly in China when conquering cities and territory abroad than [Yanhuang League]?"

"Won't."

"If we don't attack the Central Plains, it doesn't mean we let the Central Plains go. We can use Luofengcheng and Xichu to fight the [Yanhuang Alliance] to curb the rise of the [Yanhuang Alliance]."

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

Before this, the [Yanhuang League] had always tried to curb the rise of Shanhai City. Now, it has become Daxia who has in turn curb the rise of [Yanhuang League].

In the blink of an eye, the host and the guest were transferred.

"Let me think about it carefully."

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

"promise!"

Seeing this, Zhang Liang said goodbye and left.

…………

It was night, the Imperial Garden.

The cool breeze blows, and a pool of autumn water is wailing. The stars are shining and appearing faintly.

Ouyang Shuo’s independent pavilion, looking at the autumn water from afar, watching the starry sky at night, and feeling like them, ups and downs. Ouyang Shuo is still undecided about the strategy proposed by Zhang Liang during the day.

"What's your worries about my husband?"

Song Jia walked over and gently put a golden silk dragon cloak on Ouyang Shuo.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, turned around and held his wife's warm little hand. The two stood side by side, looking away from the lake, the night breeze blew, blowing their luxurious cloaks, just like a pair of fairy couples.

The female officer with her was staying far away outside the pavilion and did not dare to disturb her.

Ouyang Shuo did not hide it and told the daytime incident. After hearing this, Song Jia was silent for a while and suddenly asked, "Husband, what is your ideal?"

“Ideal?”

Ouyang Shuo suddenly thought of his previous life. At that time, he was in a state of decline. His biggest ideal was to live a stable life. When he was reborn, his ideal was to be unwilling to be the last resort and to support a sky for Bing'er.

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

Looking back suddenly, these seem to be undesirable, but just an ever-increasing desire.

As the saying goes, "If you are a person who is honest, you know etiquette." If a person is only working hard for a living all day long, how dare you talk about any ideals?

Song Jia said: "My husband has ruled the world and is rich in the world. He has tens of millions of people under his command, and has resources and power that ordinary people cannot reach. But there is a saying that goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

Ouyang Shuo was silent.

"My husband is not just me, Bing'er and his two unborn children, the responsibilities of this small family, and the responsibilities of millions of families. Even the responsibilities of a nation."

"Nation?" Ouyang Shuo was puzzled.

Song Jia said: "Your husband doesn't know yet? You have become a hero of the whole nation. You have revitalized the reputation of the Chinese clan in the game, naturalized the world, and ruled the world with the kingly way. Although this matter started in the game world, its influence will never end in this virtual world. I hope that the planet will be full of thorns. If the Chinese clan wants to take root in a new planet, it needs a new hero to lead them to overcome all obstacles."

"A national history is a heroic epic. The times are calling heroes. Looking at the entire Chinese region, besides you, Husband, can anyone else be truly supported by everyone? Are there any children of aristocratic families who put family interests first? No, you are the only one."

Ouyang Shuo smiled bitterly, "Madam, you look down on me too highly."

Song Jia shook her head, "Husband, you don't need to underestimate yourself. Bai Hua, Ximen Daguan, the siege lion and the siege. The reason why they willingly surrendered to Daxia is that there must be something else besides the bond of interests. They saw the hope of a nation again in their husband."

"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 uneasy heart more and more surging.

It seems that a bud is digging out the soil above the head and breaking out of the ground.

Song Jia smiled slightly, and said without any force, "The Daxia at present does not have an overwhelming advantage. It can destroy the [Yanhuang Alliance] in one fell swoop, and Di Chen 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, it will be the overall strength of the Chinese region, which will disappoint a group of adventurers."

Ouyang Shuo said: "Madam means, will [Yanhuang League] dig your own grave?"

"With their behavior, the truth will be revealed when interests conflict, and it will be difficult to maintain any image."

“Okay.”

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

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

On December 15th, Shanhai City.

As soon as Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City, the summer palace suddenly became the focus of the wilderness. Everyone wants to know what will Daxia do to deal with the [Yanhuang League] taking over the southern Anhui province.

Unfortunately, Ouyang Shuo refused all interviews and remained silent.

Until that morning, the twelve lords headed by the siege lions in Jiangchuan Province appeared together in the Summer Palace.

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

At this critical moment, King Xia suddenly met the lord of Jiangchuan Province. If there was nothing wrong with it, they wouldn't believe it. However, the summer palace was so tightly guarded that it could not reveal any wind.

Everyone can only wait anxiously.

This wait took three days.

On the morning of December 19, the Foreign Propaganda Department led by Violet released a brief message: "From now on, twelve territories in Jiangchuan Province will be collectively incorporated into the Daxia Dynasty."

As soon as the news came out, the player suddenly realized.

Some people analyzed: "Daxia is fighting tooth. [Yanhuang League] took over the southern Anhui Province. Daxia followed without any effort to win the Jiangchuan Province near the southern Anhui Province, and confronted the tit-for-tat."

Most players agree with this.

As Jiangchuan Province was integrated into Daxia as a whole, players in the Chinese region suddenly discovered an amazing fact that there were only eight lords left in the wilderness of the Chinese region.

Apart from Ouyang Shuo and Fengqiuhuang, the remaining six people are from the [Yanhuang League].

The cruelty of the wilderness and the cruelty of the lord mode are displayed bloodily in front of all players, making many adventurers extremely grateful that they did not choose the lord mode at the beginning.

In just four years, in the wilderness, there were countless talented lords who fell in the pool of blood, on the road to tyranny, and became a down-and-out person who was unwilling to be a corner of the royal city.

He Buddha, Qin Feng, looking for dragons to point acupoints, Feng Qingyang...

One by one, the once glorious names have gradually been forgotten and have become the losers in this drama.

As every inch of land is incorporated into the territory, the wilderness is no longer a wilderness, but the world. A great era of "heroes competing for destiny and princes competing for hegemony" has arrived.

Among the seventeen provinces in China, the Central Plains provinces are temporarily unowned, and the eastern provinces of Shandong are occupied by Western Chu. Among the remaining fifteen provinces, Daxia alone accounts for eight and a half provinces.

This means that half of the territory of China has returned to Daxia.

What’s even more interesting is that whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement by God, a pattern of confrontation between Daxia and the [Yanhuang Alliance] had already formed.

Perhaps the world can no longer be called a prince fighting for hegemony, but two powerful forces are fighting for power. Both major forces are huge, powerful and suffocating, but they are also mortal enemies.

The player couldn't help but ask himself: "Can you fight?" Just thinking about it makes people shudder.

Although everyone is worried, they understand that the initiative in the war is not in the [Yanhuang Alliance], nor in the "spectators" of them, but in the king who is admired and awe.

The Summer Palace has once again become the focus of the whole world.

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