Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

There is an old saying: To defend the river, you must defend the Huai River, and to defend the Huai River, you must defend the Xiang River.

From this sentence, it is not difficult to see how important Xiangyang's geographical location is.

Xiangyang is located at the southernmost end of the Nanyang Basin. The north-south connection must pass through here, and the east-west connection must pass through here. All the surrounding roads converge here, making it impossible to go around it.

As long as you occupy the Xiangyang area, the entire Nanyang Basin will be within your attack range.

There are many routes to attack the Jiangnan area from north to south, but none of them are comparable to the route starting from Xiangyang.

As long as Xiangyang City is captured, the attacking infantry and cavalry can move south unimpeded until they reach Jingzhou.

In addition, the attackers can also take a boat all the way south along the Han River and directly aim their troops at Wuhan, an important city in the Yangtze River region.

Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu originally took a fancy to the important strategic position of the Xiangyang area and the rich food output in the Jianghan Plain, so they would backstab the original Chinese Guild Alliance at all costs and conquer the entire Hubei Province. All areas were seized.

It is precisely because Xiangyang City, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, is always in Li Yufeng's hands, Xiao Li Tang's army can reach Nanyang City at any time.

As long as Li Yufeng is unhappy, the entire Nanyang Basin will immediately fall into flames of war, so the Northern Expedition Alliance will tolerate the wanton behavior of Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu again and again.

As the Little Ghost Valley among the players in the Chinese region, Li Yufeng naturally knew that occupying Xiangyang was equivalent to extending the tip of a sharp knife to the mouth of the Northern Expedition Alliance's Ju @. As long as he pushed it forward with a slight force. , then the Northern Expedition Alliance will immediately be covered with chrysanthemums @.

Therefore, Li Yufeng has not shown any good looks to the senior officials of the Northern Expedition Alliance all this time, because he has this arrogant and unruly capital when he occupies Xiangyang City.

Although due to the strong rise of the Condor Empire, he and Zhao Guangfu were eventually forced to join the Northern Expedition Alliance and became one of them.

But in Li Yufeng's heart, he had never regarded himself as a member of the Northern Expedition Alliance.

Because he knew that after Ningyuan was finished, he who occupied Xiangyang would sooner or later have a decisive battle with the Northern Expedition Alliance.

The Taoists did not agree with each other. Even if he temporarily committed himself to join the Northern Expedition Alliance, Li Yufeng tried his best not to have too much involvement between himself and the Northern Expedition Alliance.

Therefore, except for some unavoidable circumstances, his Xiao Li Tang will hardly participate in any military operations organized by the Northern Expedition Alliance.

Li Yufeng once thought that he was strong enough to protect himself, and there would never be a day when he would turn to the Northern Expedition Alliance for help.

However, things are unpredictable. After Ning Yuan led the flying army and the monkey army to his land to implement the plan of extermination, in order to maintain his foundation, he finally had to choose to bow to the cruel reality.

...

When night enveloped the entire Xiangyang City, a dozen soldiers dressed as messengers rode out of a military camp in the north of Xiangyang on fast horses. After leaving Xiangyang City, they ran directly towards the north.

To the outside world, this was just an ordinary messenger team sent by Xiangyang City, because during the whole day today, dozens of such teams had already rushed out of Xiangyang City.

However, in the eyes of some generals in Xiangyang City who knew the inside story, this was no ordinary messenger team, because their Majesty the King of Tang, Li Yufeng, was among those dozen knights.

In order to preserve his foundation and prevent Ning Yuan from succeeding in his plan to wipe out the entire family, Li Yufeng has now given up everything.

He knew that no matter what level of messenger he sent to Nanyang City, it would be difficult to convince the two guys who were in charge of Nanyang.

Only if he goes there in person, puts himself in front of the opponent and allows the other party to kill him with a knife, can he possibly convince the two difficult guys to send troops to help him.

Therefore, he could only temporarily leave the defense of Xiangyang City to his subordinates, and then pretend to be an ordinary messenger and rush to Nanyang City to negotiate in person.

Li Yufeng knew that the sky during the day was full of spies from the Condor Empire. When he went out during the day, even if the Condor Army didn't know he was among the team, those elusive Seraphs might launch a surprise attack on them.

Recommended, [ \\Mi\\Mi\\Reading\\\\\\] is really good and worth installing. After all, there are many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!

Because throughout the day, more than a dozen messenger teams setting off from Xiangyang City had been attacked by Seraph scouts.

Li Yufeng only had a death-free gold medal left in his hand. He did not dare to gamble on his luck, so he could only choose to travel at night.

Because only at night will the Seraph scouts of the Condor Army withdraw, and only at night will the night sky above his head not belong to a certain force.

After leaving Xiangyang City, Li Yufeng's team was immediately divided into five. Each divided team contained three knights, and they headed towards Nanyang City along different roads.

The night without Seraphim is not absolutely safe, because some vampires often appear in the night sky.

Facing the extremely fast vampire patrol, as long as they are targeted, there will definitely be a follow-up attack all the way, and it will be difficult for the targeted person to escape.

Li Yufeng divided the team into five, his purpose was to let the other four teams help him share the threat from the night sky.

In order to avoid as much as possible the vampire patrols that might appear in the night sky at any time, Li Yufeng took the two guards and chose the farthest route to the east.

I don’t know whether the Divine Eagle Army was not prepared to continue to block the messenger team setting off from Xiangyang City at night, or whether Li Yufeng had better luck and finally arrived at Nanyang City without any danger.

After arriving at the gate of Nanyang City, Li Yufeng immediately reported his identity to the guards on the top of the city.

Hearing that Li Yufeng had come in person, the player responsible for guarding the city gate did not dare to neglect and immediately opened the city gate and invited Li Yufeng in.

...

The city guard of Nanyang City is named Shui Yuntian. Just by listening to the name, it is easy to guess that this Yun Shuitian must have some kind of blood relationship with Shui Ruyan of Shuiyun Pavilion, because the surname Shui is indeed relatively rare. .

This is indeed the case. Shui Yuntian is Uncle Shui Ruyan's son and can be regarded as her cousin.

Because Nanyang is close to Xiangyang, the geographical location is very awkward. If the Northern Expedition Alliance sends senior officials from other guilds to take charge of Nanyang City, it is likely to arouse the vigilance of Li Yufeng, who has set the capital in Xiangyang, which will lead to unnecessary conflicts and even bloodshed. conflict.

So Ye Ziqing and others finally chose Shui Ruyan's cousin Shui Yuntian to take charge of Nanyang.

Shui Yuntian represents Shuiyun Pavilion, and Shuiyun Pavilion's policy has always been to value peace. Therefore, if Li Yufeng is not ready to attack Nanyang, then Shui Yuntian's going to Nanyang to take charge will not arouse Li Yufeng's suspicion.

By sending Shui Yuntian to take charge of Nanyang, this was the Northern Expedition Alliance's secret show of goodwill towards Li Yufeng. They wanted to tell Li Yufeng that the Northern Expedition Alliance was not hostile to him now.

Li Yufeng also understood what the Northern Expedition Alliance wanted to convey, so he and Shui Yuntian, who did not want to take over the Nanyang Basin, acted in peace in the south and north. After that, he and Zhao Guangfu joined the Northern Expedition. alliance.

Originally, Shui Yuntian had the final say in the Nanyang area, but with the series of attacks launched by the Divine Eagle Empire on Henan and Hubei, there is now a new talker here. Li Yufeng came here to find this new talker. It’s about people.

The new talker is called Dongfang Liang. Yes, Dongfang Liang is also a related person. He is the cousin of Dongfang Ming, the head of the Imperial Alliance.

After the powerful flying legion of the Northern Expedition Alliance was completely wiped out by the Condor Air Force in Shanxi, now only the newly formed flying legion in the hands of Dongfang Liang is left in the entire Northern Expedition Alliance.

This time Li Yufeng came here to persuade Dongfang Liang to send troops to help him deal with Ningyuan's flying army.

Considering the relationship between Dongfang Liang and Dongfang Ming, we know that the difficulty this time is by no means ordinary.

...

Li Yufeng was quickly taken to the city lord's mansion where Shui Yuntian was located after entering the city.

"Brother Li, you are an absolutely rare visitor. I never thought in my wildest dreams that you would come to Nanyang City in person one day.

Come, come, come, Brother Li, please come in quickly. "

As soon as Li Yufeng stepped into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, two muscular men came out with cheerful faces. These two people were none other than Shui Yuntian and Dongfang Liang.

After welcoming Li Yufeng into the living room and asking him to take a seat, Shui Yuntian looked at Li Yufeng and said politely with a smile on his face: "Brother Li, we have been neighbors for so long. In fact, I have long wanted to invite Brother Li to come over as a guest. .

It's a pity that you and I had different identities at the time, so I didn't dare to invite Brother Li rashly. I didn't expect that Brother Li would come in person today, which really made me ecstatic!

Brother Li, it's rare for you to come here. You must stay a few more days this time so that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord. "

He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. Seeing that the expression on Shui Yuntian's face was very sincere, Li Yufeng could only apologize and said with a smile: "Brother Shui, you are out of touch. We are all in the same alliance, so there is no need to distinguish it so clearly."

Li Yufeng pretended to be polite, but in fact there was something in his words.

After listening to Li Yufeng's answer, both Shui Yuntian and Dongfang Liang pretended not to hear anything. They did not ask why Li Yufeng came here overnight this time, and they just kept talking to Li Yufeng.

Seeing the calm and composed looks of the two of them, Li Yufeng sighed secretly. He knew that this disaster would happen sooner or later, and there was no way to avoid it.

After sorting out his facial expressions for a while, Li Yufeng was ready to get straight to the point. He looked at Shui Yuntian and the two of them and smiled miserably, saying, "My dear brothers, I'll tell you the truth. I came here overnight to ask for something."

"Brother Li, you are kidding. As the founding emperor of Li Tang, you have three elite legions: Modao Army, Black Armor Cavalry, and Divine Arm Archer. How could you come to us to ask for help?"

Hearing Li Yufeng start, Shui Yuntian immediately smiled and joked.

"Brother Shui is right, Brother Li, both of us relied on nepotism to get to the top, one relied on his sister, and the other relied on his brother.

Players in the alliance say that the two of us are equivalent to those idle princes supported by ancient feudal dynasties.

Brother Li, you suddenly said that you asked us for help. Isn’t this a slap in our face?

How can we, two idlers who rose to power through nepotism, help you, Brother Li? "

After Shui Yuntian finished joking, Dongfang Liang immediately started to laugh at himself again.

The two seemed to be laughing at themselves, but in fact they were openly trying to tease Li Yufeng.

Because Li Yufeng had always looked down on the two of them before, thinking that the two of them had no real ability and were just better born.

If it weren't for Dongfang Ming and Shui Ruyan, they would just be at the level of the adventurer world, and they would not be qualified to sit under the same roof with him.

What kind of cause is sown, what kind of fruit will be produced.

Li Yufeng knew that the two were retaliating against his previous arrogance and arrogance, so he was not angry.

Seeing the two of them staring at him with a smile, Li Yufeng stood up and cupped his hands towards the two of them, saying: "Two dear brothers, I used to be a little conceited and a little arrogant.

Here, I would like to apologize to you two dear friends. All the mistakes you made are all my fault. I hope you two can be tolerant and don't argue with me. "

A man can stretch and bend. Li Yufeng wanted to ask for help from the two of them this time. If there was a verbal conflict with the two of them, the matter would probably be ruined, so he kept his attitude very low from the beginning. .

Seeing Li Yufeng apologize again and put himself in a very low position, Shui Yuntian and Dongfang Ming, who wanted to ridicule Li Yufeng, were a little embarrassed to do so.

After looking at each other, Shui Yuntian said: "Brother Li, since you have said so, if we continue to ridicule you, it will appear that we two brothers are calculating.

Let's do this. Our previous grudges will be wiped out from now on. What do you think? "

"Thank you to Brother Shui and Brother Dongfang for their generosity. I'm so grateful."

Seeing that his low posture had an effect, Li Yufeng stood up again to express his thanks.

"Okay, Brother Li, you don't have to be like this. As you said, we are brothers in an alliance now. We are all our own people. If you have anything to say, you don't have to go around in circles. Just say it directly!"

After Li Yufeng sat down again, Dongfang Liang chose to get straight to the point.

After giving Dongfang Liang a grateful look, Li Yufeng said slowly: "Brother Dongfang, Brother Shui, this is what happened.

……. "

In front of the two of them, Li Yufeng told them in detail what had happened in the past few days without hiding anything.

After listening to Li Yufeng talk about what happened in the Xiangyang area, Dongfang Liang and Shui Yuntian looked at each other, and their expressions suddenly became solemn, because they had already guessed the purpose of Li Yufeng's trip.

After a moment of silence, Dongfang Liangwang asked Li Yufeng: "So, Brother Li came here overnight to borrow my flying legion to deal with the Condor Air Force that invaded Xiangyang?"

Nodding toward Dongfang Liang, Li Yufeng replied expectantly: "That's right, Brother Dongfang, if you want to dismantle Ning Yuan's destructive tactics in the Xiangyang area, only your flying legion can do it."

"Brother Li, do you know the latest situation in Taiping Town, Shandong?"

Dongfang Liang did not answer Li Yufeng directly, but asked a rhetorical question.

"I've heard a little bit. It seems that the fighting in Taiping Town is very fierce. The flying player death squads we hired and the flying player death squads hired by the Condor Empire have all been killed. There is no winner between us and the enemy. Currently, Taiping Town is still in the Dashi Kingdom. in hand."

Li Yufeng guessed why Dongfang Liang asked this question, but he still answered honestly.
