Chapter 954 – Act When You Should

It was carefully planned by the Yanhuang Alliance to accept Caiyun City at this moment. If they did it too early, their target would be revealed, and Great Xia would be on alert. If they acted too late, they would not be able to threaten Great Xia.

If Great Xia chose to attack Caiyun City, Yanhuang Alliance could teleport over to help at any moment.

What Ouyang Shuo did not know was that Di Chen and the others had made a decision in their hearts. They would rather sacrifice Swordsman City to protect Caiyun City. There were two reasons behind this.

First, the Feng Family of Swordsman City had been drifting outside of the Yanhuang Alliance system. This time, they sought protection from the Shu Han Dynasty, which totally threw away the face of the Yanhuang Alliance.

Di Chen had already planned to chase Swordsman City out of the alliance after the battle.

Compared to the Feng Family, Caiyun Zinan was a commoner and was much easier to control.

Secondly, compared to Swordsman City that took up only two prefectures, the Caiyun City that occupied an entire province was undoubtedly a better ally, and it had a greater ability to curb the expansion of Great Xia.

Hence, this move also ensured the safety of Pill Sun City, which was why Chun Shenjun would willingly send out troops to help Caiyun City attack Changsha Prefecture and Changde Prefecture.

With the above two points, it was enough to let Di Chen and the others support Caiyun City.

However, in the end, they had underestimated the determination of Ouyang Shuo and the resilience of Great Xia.

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

10th month, 11th day, Shanhai City.

The flames of war rose up in Xiangnan Province, but Shanhai City was as prosperous as usual. They were totally unaffected by everything. Even the players living in Shanhai City were not worried about the battle matters.

Within the Imperial Reading Room, Ouyang Shuo summoned Du Ruhui to discuss the matter of Caiyun City.

“Keming, should we attack Caiyun City?”

Du Ruhui’s attitude was really resolute, “My king, I think we should attack immediately!”

“Why?”

“First, Xiangnan Province is a core area to the south. If Caiyun City is able to unify the province and merge into the Yanhuang Alliance system, it would be difficult for us to unify the south region. It would even affect our ability to make plans for the southwest. Secondly, the presence of Xiangnan Province would be a huge burden on our border, and we would need to double the troops there.”

Du Ruhui concluded, “Rather than be afraid every day, why not just fight one battle to solve the Xiangnan City-State problem once and for all?”

As expected from Du Ruhui, he was just so clean and decisive.

Ouyang Shuo nodded; his idea was the same as Du Ruhui. He followed by asking, “The Leopard Legion Corps only has three legions at the north border. We need to defend against Chuanbei City-State while also entering Xiangnan Province. How do we do that?”

The 4th legion was in Stone City, while the 5th was in Tianjing City to keep a watch on the Satellite City. Hence, only the 1st three legions were arranged at the border.

Not to mention Yanhuang Alliance reinforcements, but there were two Caiyun City War Fighting Legions and two Pill Sun City ones.

To take down Xiangnan City-State with the Leopard Legion Corps alone was not going to be easy.

Du Ruhui said, “The Satellite City outside of Tianjing City is already on the right track, and it is under the control of Blood Shadow Alliance. We can move the 5th legion to the border to monitor Chuanbei City-State.”

“Ma Chao’s Tiger Leopard Cavalry have completed their mission, and he can leave the rest to the 4th legion of the Guards Legion Corps. I suggest the remaining 40 thousand cavalry teleport over to Consonance City and go up north together with Ma Chao’s forces.”

Ouyang Shuo nodded. With the help of the two legions, the Battle of Xiangnan City-State would be much easier. Ouyang Shuo always liked to settle things quickly, and he did not want to drag out the Battle of Xiangnan.

It was already the middle of the 10th month, and they needed to end all the war matters by the 11th month. If not, Ouyang Shuo’s planned second voyage would be delayed.

A day ago, the Navy Headquarters had already followed Ouyang Shuo’s requirements and completed the construction of the Emperor Squadron.

Based on the organization, the squadron was one navy division with 40 Z1 Type Warships, 160 Mengchong warships, 500 Cima boats, and the rest were grain ships and the like.

Apart from that, there would be Ouyang Shuo’s new flagship, The Emperor, which was made from the black dragon bones taken from the dragon island. As a result, the ship had special specialties.

The entire squadron had a total of 22 thousand men, three thousand sailors, which was one-fifth of a proper squadron.

Although that was the case, the commander was still a Fleet Admiral, which was similar to the commander of the other five squadrons; this was done to show the special position of the Emperor Squadron.

Thinking about it, Ouyang Shuo decided to promote the Nanjiang Squadron chief general Gan Ning. Just yesterday, he was ordered to return to Beihai City to accept his squadron and get ready for the voyage.

Thinking about this, Ouyang Shuo said, “It’s time to use West Gate Big Official.”

Before the war started, West Gate Big Official had sent a letter where he agreed to help Great Xia take over Chuanbei City-State.

At this stage, it was time for him to fulfil his promise.

Du Ruhui was astonished; his eyes were opened wide, “King, are you going to solve the problems with both City-States right away?”

This action was bigger than Du Ruhui what had expected.

Ouyang Shuo smiled, “Since they do not know what’s good for them, why not? Let’s give them a big one and take down the entire southwest.”

As a leading figure of the Xiangnan City-State, Caiyun Zinan had betrayed them and chose to work with Yanhuang Alliance, which undoubtedly shook the roots of the City-State.

Chuanbei City-State and Xiangnan City-State were closely related. Now that something had happened to Xiangnan City-State, Chuanbei City-State was unavoidably affected.

The Lords in both City-States were really anxious and did not know what they should do.

Along with the help of West Gate Big Official, destroying the two City-States was becoming a really likely outcome. One could say that Caiyun Zinan had really helped Ouyang Shuo out this time.

“The king is wise!”

Du Ruhui was really impressed.

Ouyang Shuo said, “Ask the Grand Council to make a perfect plan quickly and use everything we can use.” After such a long time, Great Xia had some foundation in both City-States. If Yanhuang Alliance underestimated the influence of Great Xia, they were definitely in for some big trouble.

“Yes my king!”

Du Ruhui nodded and left. He knew that this matter affected a lot, and he needed to do it well. It seemed like he needed to burn the midnight oil once more.

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

Caiyun City’s actions dragged in the two City-States that were originally not affected by this war.

That night, more than ten letters appeared on his desk. They were all allies of Great Xia, and they were seeking help from Ouyang Shuo about what to do.

Ouyang Shuo naturally replied to them with clear instructions one by one. At the same time, he repeated his promise to these Lords to calm them down.

After getting the reply, these Lords were a lot more confident, and they could see the descent of a new era. That night, they started to gather up their troops, working together with Great Xia in the City-State ending war.

This battle was one that neither side had a path of retreat from.

10th month, 12th day, pretty much at the same time, half of the territories in both City-States announced that they were quitting the City-State and were now under Great Xia’s rule.

With that, the only two remaining City-States in China had disbanded, announcing an end to a once prosperous time.

The moment the news went out, all of the players of China were stunned at the historical moment that they had just witnessed.

Along with the disbandment, a warring states period had arrived. The future wilderness was going to be a stage between the Shanhai Alliance and Yanhuang Alliance.

Without any other co-stars, these two alliances were destined to have a head on conflict. Each time they fought, a giant would fall. The current Swordsman City was an example.

The players could not hide their excitement because the signal was just so obvious. Facing the provocation from Caiyun City and Yanhuang Alliance, Great Xia had declared war!

These two giants in the China Region, under the circumstances where the Swordsman City battle had not been decided, had started another even bigger war. They were starting a life or death battle that no one had expected.

Who would prevail, no one knew.

This seismic war that affected the entire wilderness was entering its most exciting time. Every China player looked on with their eyes wide open, as they did not want to miss out on any of the action.

The various media outlets all sent out reporters to track the proceedings.

Even the outside world was focusing on this battle. Not for other reasons, but simply because one of the stars was that Great Xia Dynasty, the party that was ruling the seas and was closely related to them.

Pretty much at the same time as these territories sent out the announcements, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd legions of the Leopard Legion Corps were led by Han Xin and entered Caiyun City territory.

The 5th legion of the Leopard Legion Corps and the 2nd legion of the Guards Legion Corps were both ordered to proceed up north.

Getting the news, the territories within Xiangnan Province that were getting pincered by Pill Sun City and Caiyun City decided to swiftly gather up to stop the invasion. They were going to stubbornly defend until reinforcements arrived.

And at pretty much the same time as the Leopard Legion Corps was sent out, Di Chen and the others used the name of the Yanhuang Alliance to announce that they were not going to sit there and watch Caiyun City be invaded.

The poor Swordsman City became a wild child that no one bothered about.

The eyes of the China region were attracted to the two provinces in the southwest as they watched the battle of Great Xia against the Yanhuang Alliance.

An even more shocking piece of news spread out that morning.
