Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Looking at Bai Tu who was full of curiosity, Zhou Xu didn't give in. After clicking on Blackstone City on the map with the wooden stick in his hand, he rowed all the way to Xishan City and Anling City.

"According to Yan Sheng's current situation, he can basically only defend one city. If he wants to suppress the rebellion and capture other cities, he has to abandon Blackstone City."

"As a one-for-one business, there is no loss in guarding Blackstone City, and you have to pay a price to capture other cities. In your eyes, this may be a loss, but have you ever thought about it, as his position changes? Transfer and his situation will change.”

As soon as these words were said, everyone present looked startled.

At the same time, at this moment, they couldn't help but recall what Zhou Xu said at the beginning.

They should open their minds wider and think further!

Bai Tu relied on his previous experience. Although he took into account the factor of rebelling, considering the situation, he still stayed on Black Rock City, their next main target, and did not think about what Yan Sheng would do if he moved to the rear. , how will the situation change after moving to Anling City or Xishan City.

At this moment, Zhou Xu's words were equivalent to clarifying the answer. Looking at the Xishan City and Anling City pointed by the wooden stick in their king's hand, the subordinates, including Shi Lei and Bai Tu, They all reacted.

"I see. If Yan Sheng leads his troops to capture Xiaxishan City, it can echo with Long Xiaotian who is stationed in the border city on the other side."

Shi Lei reacted quickly and quickly organized his thoughts.

"At that time, if we want to continue to march and attack Xishan City, even if the rebel army in Anling City does not move, we will be at risk of being attacked by Yan Sheng and Long Xiaotian at the same time."

"Similarly, if he chooses to lead his troops to go around and capture Anling City, which is a border city, then he can form a link with the border city where Long Aotian is stationed from the outside, and the existence of the rebel army cannot be completely ignored. The situation has suddenly become complicated, and even we can no longer act rashly!"

Speaking of this, Shi Lei's face was filled with surprise.

Although this was the result of his analysis following their king's guidance, Shi Lei himself didn't quite believe it.

It is no exaggeration to say that this step immediately revitalized the situation!

Bai Tu beside him couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Can the tyrant really have such a strategy?"

Faced with this problem, Zhou Xu shook his head.

"I don't know. No matter what the reasons are for the other party to make this decision, the final result will be this situation."

Zhou Xu, who said this, had a hint of headache between his brows.

He definitely wanted to avoid troublesome situations like this, but this also forced him to take action in advance.

Zhou Xu is not worried about the food problem. Da Zhou, who owns the plain farm, can be regarded as a major food-producing country.

In addition, as early as the beginning of this year, he had already ordered the expansion of the field area.

Now, almost a year later, after two rounds of harvests in summer and autumn, they can be said to have sufficient food in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the grain reserves are enough to fill the granaries of major cities.

Even this year, because grain production has increased so much, the price of grain on the market has dropped.

At that time, for this matter, the officials under his command reported to the police for instructions one after another.

Zhou Xu directly ordered that all the extra grain be collected into state-owned granaries to control the total amount of grain flowing into the market and stabilize grain prices.

After all, the low price of grain hurts the farmers. Zhou Xu must avoid this kind of thing.

Getting back to the point, when there was no shortage of food in the country, the reason why Zhou Xu had not carried out follow-up actions was to avoid a rapid expansion of the population.

Yan Sheng's situation is the best example. In a short period of time, the domestic population will expand too much, which will create many hidden dangers.

Of course, his current situation is much better than Yan Sheng.

Yan Sheng maliciously provoked wars and annexed neighboring countries for his own ambitions. The people of these countries were displaced due to the war, and their relatives and friends died tragically. He can be said to be the biggest war criminal in the world, and the people of these countries naturally hated him.

But now Zhou Xu has great righteousness.

If Yan Sheng is compared to a dragon, then Zhou Xu is a warrior who slays the dragon.

As much as the people hate Yan Sheng, they will welcome Zhou Xu more.

It's just that Zhou Xu originally wanted to move more steadily. Wait until next year, when the annexed population has been better assimilated, and the opposite side will become more chaotic, and then wait for an opportunity to take action.

But now there is obviously no choice.

After thinking this, Zhou Xu sorted out his thoughts, and then issued an order quickly.

At the same time, Yan Sheng, who was in Blackstone City, did not know that the information on his side had been leaked. Even because of Long Potian's incident, he had become more and more dependent on Jie Liancheng recently.

There is actually nothing he can do about this. He will definitely face a siege battle next.

In this siege battle, a force of more than 3,000 troops did not have much advantage against the enemy forces occupying the city. This also made Jie Liancheng invisible and became his biggest support.

But Xie Liancheng obviously didn't care about this, not only because he discovered the existence of his little brother Zhou Xu, but also because he knew who Yan Sheng was.

The preparations before the departure of the large force took almost seven days.

During these seven days, they were not only packing things, but also going door to door in Blackstone City to catch young men.

When Yan Sheng stayed in the city before, he naturally wanted to pay attention to the unrest in the city and appease the people appropriately to avoid causing some trouble to himself.

But now, it was obvious that he was going to abandon the city and leave.

Before that, he not only had to take away all the resources in the city, but also captured as many strong men as possible to join the army to increase his own strength.

Yan Sheng is not worried that these captured young men will become a drag on him and increase his burden.

Because in the next siege, most of them will die.

To put it bluntly, these strong men are cannon fodder for the next siege!

Regardless of the situation, Yan Sheng quickly expanded the number of troops at hand from just over 3,000 to 5,000.

Although they are all cannon fodder who have not received training at all, they can still increase his chances of winning.

On the seventh day, everything was ready, and the five thousand troops officially set off with all the supplies in the city.

Basically, as soon as they left the city, turmoil broke out in Black Rock City, but Yan Sheng obviously had no interest in dealing with these things.

His next goal is to capture Xishan City. Compared with Anling City, which is a border city, Xishan City is much richer.

From a resource perspective, it is better than Black Rock City.

However, the distance between the two cities is relatively far. When a large force advances, it cannot increase its own speed, and it will take at least ten days.
