"Ke Ming, what do you think?"
Ouyang Shuo put down the letter and looked at Du Ruhui expressionlessly.
In truth, the fall of Tian Shuang County caused Ouyang Shuo to be extremely shocked and furious. Perhaps even Bai Qi, Du Ruhui, and the others didn't know how great the losses they had suffered in this battle.
Not to mention the inside story, because of Song Jia, Tian Shuang County had fallen, and Ouyang Shuo's future father-in-law's lair had been destroyed, causing him to lose face.
Ouyang Shuo could imagine how the forums would ridicule Shanhai City after the battle.
A few days ago, Ouyang Shuo had just discussed with his father-in-law about the future of Zhaoqing County, and was extremely satisfied. In just a few days, he had been slapped in the face. The humiliation was hard for outsiders to understand.
Arrogance was bound to be defeated, the ancients did not lie.
At the end of the day, the defeat was due to Ouyang Shuo not paying enough attention to [Southern Alliance].
Black Snake had reported to Ouyang Shuo that there were some abnormalities within [Southern Alliance], but it did not attract his attention. From his point of view, what could such a loose alliance of regions accomplish?
In truth, the cohesion within [Southern Alliance] was much stronger than what Ouyang Shuo had imagined. This showed. The leader of [Southern Alliance] was not an ordinary person, and had extraordinary methods.
Bai Qi and the rest were after all NPC generals, and could not guess the thoughts of the players, and would make mistakes. But Ouyang Shuo was different, as the number one leader of China region, he should not have underestimated his enemies.
The consecutive victories had really gone to Ouyang Shuo's head.
Before this, to Ouyang Shuo, taking down Zhaoqing County was only a matter of time. He never thought that [Southern Alliance] would have such courage and boldness, and even had such a strategic vision.
I was too careless!
In Ouyang Shuo's plans, Tian Shuang County was an extremely important city. It was not that Tian Shuang County itself was important, but it was special because the leader of Tian Shuang County was under Ouyang Shuo's control.
Thus, in Ouyang Shuo's plan, Tian Shuang County should be like Mulan Town, and be integrated into Shanhai City. This way, Shanhai City would have a teleportation node in the Southern Ridge Province.
Compared to reality, the map in the game was ten times bigger.
This meant that if the Lord wanted to rule over the territory, he would have to rely on the Teleportation Formation. Otherwise, Ouyang Shuo's trip to Lingnan Province would take a month or two. How could he talk about ruling?
The Tianshuang County was decided by Ouyang Shuo, and it was to become the central hub of the Lingnan Province. Unfortunately, he did not protect this core well. The losses could not be measured with money or anything else.
Even though he blamed himself in his heart and was extremely furious, Ouyang Shuo maintained his composure on the surface.
During this period of time, his cultivation had improved greatly.
Du Ruhui couldn't see any flaws in the marquis's expression or tone. As a subject, he needed to figure out the mind of the monarch. Now, Du Ruhui couldn't figure it out.
The Marquis had yet to make a clear decision on whether to fight or to make peace.
"This humble subject thinks that we should combine the extraordinary and the righteous."
In the end, Du Ruhui chose to state her opinion truthfully. As soon as he received the letter, he met with Zhao Kuo, and combined it with the intelligence gathered by the Military Intelligence Department, he made a strategic deduction.
"What's so strange about it? What is right? "
Ouyang Shuo was still calm and collected.
"For the main battlefield, transfer the 2nd and 4th Divisions of the Brave Tiger Army, gather the 7 divisions, and have a decisive battle. For the battlefield behind the enemy lines, arrange for two large fleets to go out to sea and attack Jade Buddha County. Jade Buddha County is the brain of the [Southern Alliance], once it falls, the [Southern Alliance] will be in chaos. Once the alliance army is in chaos, it will be the decisive battle. "
Du Ruhui was in charge of the strategic arrangements, the specific tactical commands were naturally the responsibility of the generals.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, what Du Ruhui said was exactly what he wanted.
The face that they had lost must be earned back.
The only way was to have a real battle on the battlefield.
If Shanhai City chose to retreat, their morale would drop, and the enemy would see through their weakness.
Once Shanhai City's weakness was exposed to the enemy, then they would not only have to face the [Southern Alliance] army.
The wolves of the [Yan Huang Alliance] would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. At that time, Shanhai City would really be surrounded by enemies on all sides.
They had to fight, and they had to be fast!
"Ambush Jade Buddha County, other than the two large fleets, send out the Divine Martial Guards. We must take down Jade Buddha County before the enemy can react. Other than that, the Imperial Guard Division that is still recovering, immediately gather and set off to reinforce the main battlefield. "
Ouyang Shuo not only agreed to Du Ruhui's plan, he also increased the stakes. This battle could be considered as Shanhai City going all out, Ouyang Shuo had even bet the last of his family's wealth.
The entire Shanhai City only had the City Guard Division left.
Luckily, the territories in Lian Zhou County had all been cleared. The enemies outside could no longer use the teleportation formation to teleport to Lian Zhou Basin.
Otherwise, just one army would be enough to take down Shanhai City.
"Yes!"
Du Ruhui knew the importance of this battle, and nodded solemnly.
"The Divine Martial Guards, we need a temporary strategist, Ke Ming, do you have anyone to recommend?"
Wang Feng was a ferocious general, but in terms of strategy, he was lacking. Ouyang Shuo was not at ease to ask him to lead the army.
Especially when it came to ambushes, anything could happen, and the commander needed to adapt to the situation.
Originally, Ouyang Shuo leading the troops was the best choice. But the Zhengming Conference had already begun, and all kinds of people were pouring into Shanhai City.
If he was not there, it would be impossible.
Other than Ouyang Shuo, Du Ruhui was also a suitable candidate.
Similarly, as the commander of the territory's military affairs, Du Ruhui would need to coordinate the logistics, dispatch of troops, and strategic planning during the war.
"Zhao Kuo can do it."
Du Ruhui's recommendation surprised Ouyang Shuo.
"Zhao Kuo?"
"Yes!"
Ouyang Shuo looked at Du Ruhui, deep in thought.
Du Ruhui was a calm and decisive person, so he had a good eye for people. If he said Zhao Kuo could do it, then it was most likely true.
It seemed that Zhao Kuo's experience in the military affairs office had changed a lot. Everyone knew Zhao Kuo's personality in the past, so he might not be able to do it.
The only possibility was that Zhao Kuo had already completed his transformation.
In Ouyang Shuo's impression, Zhao Kuo's only shining moment was when he proposed the strategy of using Zhaoqing Commandery to pass through Chiyou City.
Other times, they didn't have many opportunities to meet.
Du Ruhui was different. The two of them would probably meet every day in the military affairs office.
"Okay, Zhao Kuo it is."
Ouyang Shuo made the decision without hesitation.
Hearing this, Du Ruhui nodded in relief. The Marquis's decision was more of trust in Du Ruhui than in Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo's performance would be a test of himself, and also a test of Du Ruhui's ability to use people.
If he screwed up, then Du Ruhui could only resign and go into seclusion.
After the discussion, Du Ruhui stood up and left to make arrangements.
It was not an easy task when it involved the coordination of three divisions, two fleets, and the Divine Martial Guards. The only fortunate thing was that Leizhou Commandery had finished harvesting the first season of rice, so there was still enough food.
Otherwise, if they had to transport food from Lianzhou Commandery, they probably wouldn't even need to fight. They would just surrender.
After Du Ruhui left, Ouyang Shuo stayed alone in his room and closed his eyes in contemplation.
A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.
After the fall of Tianshuang Commandery, Ouyang Shuo had to reflect on himself.
Had he been too confident in his previous strategy? Would Chiyou City and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom really obediently follow the script he had set?
Most likely not.
Let's talk about Chiyou City first. The entire Chiyou City was still under constant construction. Whether it was the spies of the Military Intelligence Office or the Snake Guards of the Black Snake Guards, none of them could sneak in to find out what was going on inside the city.
The black birds of Chiyou City were too hateful.
The whole of Chiyou City was a secret.
The Demon God Chiyou! Who knew what scary things he had been up to in the past year.
Apart from Chiyou City's pure mountain barbarian strategy, in other places in Wuzhou Commandery, Chiyou was very open-minded and accepted Han refugees and common people.
However, the city's rulers were all mountain barbarians.
If Chiyou City was said to be a small problem, then Tianping Heavenly Kingdom was a big problem. Ouyang Shuo wasn't sure if he was nurturing a tiger that would invite disaster.
With the current military strength of Shanhai City, he was afraid that they wouldn't be able to take down the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
At that time, he would probably have to rely on the strength of his allies.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo sighed softly.
The road to hegemony was not a smooth road. It must be filled with thorns and a bumpy road. With the advantage of his rebirth, he had built a strong foundation for Shanhai City, but it was only to stand on the same starting line as Di Chen and the others.
There were still many variables in the struggle for hegemony in China.
Apart from the Yellow Emperor Alliance, it seemed that even the local tyrants couldn't be underestimated. [Southern Alliance], didn't they teach Shanhai City a good lesson?
From this, Ouyang Shuo thought of the Rosy Cloud Alliance in Xiangnan Province.
It seemed that he still had to work harder to infiltrate the Rosy Cloud Alliance.
Although the Black Snake Guards had fixed the network, they were still newly formed and couldn't access the high-level secrets. As for the core secrets, they didn't even need to think about it.
The meeting of the Southern Alliance this time, including the troops, didn't they all escape the surveillance of the Black Snake Guards?
In the future, Ouyang Shuo would never allow such a thing to happen. The funds of the Black Snake Guards could not be stopped, they had to be increased. Even if they had to tighten their belts, they had to support the expansion of the Black Snake Guards.
In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo summoned the Black Snake.
Other than talking about the Black Snake Guards, the most important thing was to instruct the Black Snake Guards to cooperate with the Divine Martial Guards to launch a surprise attack on Jade Buddha County.
The so-called surprise attack, without an insider, would normally be difficult to succeed.
The Black Snake Guards nodded, his expression solemn. This time, the Black Snake Guards did not find out the movements of the Southern Alliance. Although the Marquis didn't say anything, the Black Snake himself was holding back a wave of anger.
It's time to show off! (To be continued.)
