Lord of War

Sean didn't spend too much time to temporarily stabilize Kazi and Soma.

Regarding these two talents, Sean has no intention of letting them go, so it is impossible for him to let either of them go. Because only the joining of these two people can just fill the huge gap in the internal affairs personnel in his territory. No matter how good Neil is at this point, it is impossible for him to have a thorough understanding of the situation in all the territories, because Government affairs management is not comparable to military overall planning. These are completely two concepts.

But now, in Sean's territory, the only internal affairs talents are Neil and Rude.

At present, because the situation in the Dayi Territory is relatively stable and there is no need to devote too much energy, this territory is currently managed by Rude. After all, he is the lord of the Dayi Territory. But after taking Yedby and driving away Rob, who only talks on paper, and the old Baron Yedby, because of the large-scale divestment of Yedby and the withdrawal of the chamber of commerce, this territory is already on the verge of danger. If it weren't for Al With Fred and Rena's strong suppression, there has been violence in this territory for a long time.

But if Sean wants to send Neil to stabilize the situation, it would be a big deal, because now Neil is responsible for planning the new economic policy system for the entire territory, that is, the money-swallowing project that he and Rude worked out. Therefore, Sean immediately thought of Soma and Kazi, who were captured alive by him before. With Soma's real materials, it is no difficulty at all to manage Yedebiling well. Things, after all, he was the actual manager of the entire Tinkling leadership before.

You must know that Tingchinland is an earldom, and its territory is extremely vast, almost equivalent to the sum of Dayi, Chirav, Yedeby and half of Panda. Soma can manage such a vast territory in an orderly manner, so isn't it easy to capture a mere Baron Jedby? Moreover, the situation in the Yedby Territory is also the most abundant of all Sean's territories so far, so he is very concerned about this territory.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to throw a talent like Soma, who can manage an entire county, on this small baronie?

As for Kazi, Sean just put his words in a more pleasant way. Of course, he would not really throw him to Berbice. Sean is going to let Kazi take over the government affairs of the Dayi Territory, and then send Rude to the Berbice Territory. He believes that the people's hearts will definitely not be better than that of the old Ye How low is Baron Derby, he just drove away the old Baron Yedby, and the entire Yedby leader was almost violent. Of course, Sean had to be fully prepared before he would attack Berbice.

So he chose to appease these two people for the time being.

If these two people were really unwilling to seek refuge, Sean would certainly not let them go. Even if he didn't kill these two people, he would definitely imprison them forever. Because of such a talent, any lord who gets it is a kind of strength enhancement, who knows if he will be invited back by his enemies after letting them go, Xiao En doesn't want to see his potential enemies in the future gradually disappear. grow.

So after arranging for the two to rest, Sean came to William, because William seemed to have something to say to him.

"What's the situation?" Sean said as soon as he entered the door of the conference room.

"There's something wrong with the situation in Berbice." William said in a deep voice.

"What's wrong?" Sean frowned slightly.

"Berbice Land and Yederby Land both participated in the coalition operation against us more than a year ago, and that war caused them heavy losses.

"William narrated briefly, "That's why we invaded Jedby's territory this time so quickly and safely, and the original situation in Berbice's territory should be the same. "

Hearing this, Sean immediately realized the question: "Has the situation changed?"

"Yes." William nodded, his voice a little more serious, "The closest to the Berbice Territory is the territory controlled by the Darbion Logan family. This is a powerful Marquis who is a supporter of the Howard family. .According to the news we received before, since the failure of the last coalition battle, Berbiceland and Yedbyland have actually completely separated from the system of the Boulder family, and have been embraced by the Nugus family and the Howard family respectively... ..."

"You mean, the Berbice family is now relying on the Howard family?" Sean immediately reacted, "And now the Berbice has more troops than we expected?"

"Yes." William nodded, "About more than a month ago, that is, about 20 days after the end of the war between us and Tinchin, the Logan family suddenly sent reinforcements to the Berbice Territory. At the same time, the Nugus family and the Howard family also showed signs of large-scale military mobilization, and this situation continued until a month ago. All nobles belonging to the Howard family and the Nugus family were all in their There are military operations in the territory..."

"Total strength." Sean asked immediately.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand." William said a number that made Sean feel a moment of coldness.

Others may not be clear, but Sean is very clear that the strength of 250,000 troops is equivalent to one-tenth of the strength of the entire Darbion Kingdom today, and even nearly half of the strength of the entire southern noble faction of Dabion. And if both the Nugus family and the Howard family are in battle, then this means that there are at least three fourth-level troops in the 250,000-strong army. This is a real elite force!

Not to mention anything else, if all the 250,000 troops rushed down, Sean couldn't stop it at all. He even had to give up all the territories he currently occupied and retreat to Fortress Tonis. It could even be said that this retreat alone was an extremely dangerous and bloody road, because he believed that the southern nobles of Dabion would never let him go so easily.

"How could this be?" Xiao En found that the situation seemed to be very different from the script he expected, "Are they going to start a national war directly?"

"Very likely." William said, "I have already sent this information to the Lord of Florence, and they must be prepared in advance, otherwise, if they are attacked by surprise, then Ting Qi will lead the current situation." Can't stop it at all."

In fact, William did not say a word, that is, the army of 250,000 is in front of such a huge army, relying on them and Florence's total force of less than 40,000, no matter how good the strategy is, they will completely resist.

This is the real one-strength drop-ten meeting, and it is a direct way to take advantage of the situation.

"Then what's the situation in Berbice Territory now?" Sean asked hastily.

"The situation is not optimistic." William said again, "The Logan family increased their troops for the second time in the Berbice Territory half a month ago. Currently, the Berbice Territory alone has gathered 80,000 troops. The other ten The 70,000 troops have already shown a siege situation. At present, the Territories of Dayi, Tinchin, Chirav, Yedebi and Panda are under threat. As long as war breaks out, the opponents can attack all of us at the same time. Territory attack."

Having said that, William took out a map, and saw that all the territories on the map that bordered Sean's territory had been marked in red, except for the two bordering territories in Dayi Territory near Modeg Territory. But Sean knew that the reason why these two territories were not marked in red was because the lords of these two territories belonged to the faction of the Boulder family. Once a war breaks out, Sean really has nowhere to go.

"How did it suddenly become like this?" Sean was surprised.

"I don't think we need to think about why the situation has become like this at this time. What we really need to think about is how to arrange a retreat." William said, "It is almost impossible for the opponent's ability to arrange such a strategic overall situation." Under me... no, it should be said to be better than me. Although it is impossible to know the opponent's command and tactical change ability without fighting, but this kind of gesture alone is definitely better than me."

Hearing William's words, Sean was startled, and immediately asked, "This army must have a presidential commander, right? Do you know the commander's name?"

"This hasn't been found out yet, what's the matter?" Seeing Sean's expression, William realized the seriousness of the problem and asked subconsciously.

"I suddenly thought of someone." Sean's tone was a little cold. "This is a woman. What she is best at is this kind of means of creating momentum and taking advantage of it. Once the momentum is achieved, she will immediately follow the momentum. Under the coercion of the general trend, no tricks can resist. But if the momentum she creates has not yet formed, she can choose to lie dormant. Her patience is simply beyond anyone's imagination. She can even spend more than ten years To set up a game is to kill a person."

William froze for a moment, then stared at the map for a long time without saying a word.

At present, on this military map, the red area has occupied almost half, while the blue area belonging to Sean is only a small corner on one side, but fortunately, the large area on the left of the blue area is completely covered. is white. But everyone knows that if these white areas are also turned red, then this is the most common pocket encirclement in strategic layout.

But even so, when staring at this map, there is still a sense of palpitation and dull coercion.

Because both Sean and William are very clear that on this military map, half of the general situation created by the enemy has been formed. Once the real situation is formed, then it is the so-called general trend. Can resist it. Of course, there is actually no way to fight, that is to use the same method to deal with it, and Xiao En also believes that as long as William can hold 150,000 troops in his hands, he will be able to contend with the opponent's 250,000 troops. troops.

But now, they don't have this kind of time. Even if they mobilize the entire territory and start recruiting troops now, it would be considered good if they can make up 60,000 troops. But an army that has not received any training is simply worthless on the battlefield.

"Their momentum hasn't been formally formed yet, at most it's only half formed." William stared at the map for a long time, and then said in a deep voice, "So we still have a chance, as long as Asuna agrees to send troops to reinforce us, we will It may not be impossible to swallow Berbice Collar."

What William said is indeed true. At present, Berbice has only 80,000 troops. As long as Asuna is willing to lend him all her 30,000 troops, then counting the current 20,000 troops under his command, There is no problem at all against 80,000 with 50,000. And as long as the Berbice Territory is occupied, then they can station troops in the Berbice Territory. With the strategic advantage of the Berbice Territory, they can go southeast to reinforce the Chilaf Territory, and go northeast to reinforce the Tin Qiyin Territory. It is equivalent to occupying a strategic advantage.

Under such circumstances, if the opponent wants to fully invade, they must break William's strategic advantage, so they can only fight William here before regaining the Berbice Territory. In this way, it is actually tantamount to restraining the main force of the opponent's army, and the general situation that the opponent has finally created will be declared disintegrated because of this, but in this way, it is tantamount to the national war started by Xiao En, not Darby Ang set off the national war.

After all, Sean occupied the Territory of Tinchin and the Territory of Yederby and would not return them, and the Territory of Day and Chirav also belonged to Dabion's territory at present, so the Kingdom of Dabion took advantage of the situation to send troops to regain these territories this time, it would not be possible at all. condemned by any public opinion.

So once Sean starts a national war, it will be very unfavorable to Sean in mainland public opinion. If the Principality of Ryan can win a big victory in the end, it's okay to say, if it loses, then it may be necessary to take Xiao En to appease the anger.

This has been the practice of nobles since ancient times.

So after hearing William's tactic, Sean was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Does the opponent have a way to break the opportunity you mentioned?"

"Yes!" There was also a moment of silence before William said, "But I don't think the other party will do that."

"Why?" Sean was a little puzzled.

"If the other party ignores us and directly takes the northern side of Tinch'in as a breakthrough point, and then divides their forces to march towards Dayi and Jedby after occupying half of the territory, then it is they who will hold us back, not us. The other party." William drew two arrows on this military map, and Sean found that with William's stroke, one-third of the entire Tinchin territory disappeared, and this third of the position It just happened to occupy the main road leading to Dayi and Yedebi. "Under such circumstances, if we take back this main road, then the opponent's two divided troops will be completely isolated behind the enemy's rear." Soldiers, it will be a matter of time before they are eaten by us, unless the opponent abandons these occupied areas and breaks out from the northwest of the Dai territory, then at least half of the troops can be retained."

"This tactic is too conceited." Sean said in a deep voice.

"Yes, even if it is me, I will do this unless there is no other way, otherwise I will not make such a decision." William said in a deep voice, "Because if it fails, then it is very likely that the whole army will be defeated." It is almost impossible to reverse the situation of being wiped out... Of course, if it succeeds, then it will be the real general trend, and the opponent can completely rampage in our territory."

"How likely do you think the other party is to make such a risky move?"

"Unless there are ten generals, it is absolutely impossible to make this strategic layout with a success rate of less than 30%." William replied without hesitation.

But this answer made Sean's heart skip a beat.

If it is really that woman, then the other party is really likely to make such a strategic layout, because she is one of the ten generals, and her ranking is higher than William. But in Sean's impression, this woman is not from the Southern Continent. When she appeared on the stage, it was already at the end of the third expansion, that is, in the battle against the demon invasion, relying on a battle that lasted two years It took years of building momentum to successfully unite all human troops and drive the demons back to the abyss plane.

It can be said that the final victory of that battle was the result of her own efforts.

It was precisely because of this battle that she successfully ranked seventh among the ten generals.

But now, on this map, Xiao En has seen a very obvious momentum layout. Although the momentum has not yet been completed, a prototype has already been formed. Although she is a person who does not like to take risks, her forbearance and dormancy are also very terrifying, and she is even very good at taking advantage of all available environments.

"Is there any possibility of increasing the success rate of this tactic?" Sean asked.

After pondering for a moment, William nodded again: "Yes."

While saying this, he circled the white bordering territories on the left side of the Dai Territory. These territories belong to the lords of the Boulder family faction, and two of them are even related to the Mordegg Territory. border.

Seeing this, Sean already understood.

But what William said was a little different from what Sean thought: "If the Boulder family also joins this strategic layout, then this strategy will no longer be a risky one, and it can even be said to be a one that lures us into being fooled."

"What's the meaning?"

"As long as the Boulder family also participates in the war, as long as the opponent controls the strategic route of the Tinch Yin collar, they can directly attack the Yedby collar and give the Dai collar to the Boulder family. In this way, they need The pressure to attack us will be much less. Even at this time, if the Boulder family is more ambitious, then we will not even be able to defend the Panda collar. In this case, we will become a lone army deep behind the enemy. "William said in a deep voice, "And don't forget, because you lent us all your troops, Master Asuna simply doesn't have enough troops to defend Mordegg's collar, and it is very likely that the entire Thunder team will be ruined because of this." Zhifeng... In other words, if the opponent had planned it this way from the beginning, then the 80,000 troops led by Berbice is definitely a cannon fodder force that can be sacrificed at any time, or it is just a bait to trick us into taking the bait."

"The Boulder family, the Nugus family, and the Howard family are somewhat at odds with each other. They probably won't cooperate with them."

"If this commander is really good at creating momentum, then it is entirely possible for her to turn this operation into a national war. In the general environment of the national war, no matter how unhappy the Boulder family is, they will definitely be punished." In desperation, they can only choose to send troops, otherwise they will be accused of treason." William said in a deep voice, "This...is the terrible thing about the general trend....Anyone who can use the situation so delicately No one is a simple person."

"Investigate! No matter how much the price is paid, the name of the commander of the other party must be investigated!" Sean said in a deep voice, "Before we find out the name of the commander, we must first make arrangements for the escape route."

"I see." (To be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Group @范儿青青年] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest power. )
