He Lingchuan turned around and closed the doors and windows, and set up a barrier. Zhong Shengguang personally poured him a glass of water:
"I just met a few foreign envoys. They were sent by the three southern Wutu countries. They are interested in forming an alliance and conducting trade with us."
He said this without hiding his joy.
He Lingchuan smiled: "Be arrogant at first and respectful later!"
These three countries were originally not very friendly with Panlong City. When Panlong City tried to form an alliance in the south, it encountered great resistance from them. After a few years, Panlong City became bigger and stronger, and temporarily withstood the pressure from Bega. These small southern countries became more active and friendly, and they formed groups to come to Panlong City to discuss business and cooperation.
Sure enough, status is determined by strength.
"By borrowing the passage from Wutu Country, Panlong City can open up another way for foreign trade! Otherwise, it is too dangerous to rely on Longchuan alone." Once Longchuan is blocked or occupied, the communication between Panlong City and the outside world will be controlled. Zhong Shengguang foresaw that there should be more than one way to open up to the outside world, so he had to open up a second effective way of external communication as soon as possible.
"Several small countries in the south have good ports. Although the road conditions are a bit complicated, unlike the Longchuan trade route which is completely owned by Panlong City, it is still a road after all, no matter how easy or difficult it is." He Lingchuan continued, "They are all poor, so they are not that afraid of Beijia. If Panlong City opens up trade routes there, all the areas along the way will benefit. As long as they can taste the sweetness, they will be reluctant to cut off this trade route even if Beijia suppresses them later."
This will also give Panlong City more room to maneuver.
Zhong Shengguang nodded: "We have to act quickly. We can't wait for Beijia to do something bad."
He Lingchuan is a general who leads troops to fight, but he has such a broad vision and is not limited to war. Unlike generals like General Nan Ke who only talk about war while fighting, Zhong Shengguang is particularly pleased.
This is the rising star cultivated by his Panlong City!
Then he asked about the battle situation on the front line of Yuheng City.
He Lingchuan knew that he probably had other plans when he suddenly called him back to Panlong City from the Jintao front line.
Sure enough, after listening to him, Zhong Shengguang did not comment, but instead talked to him about the war on the northwest front.
Panlong City has been attacking Xianyou for some time.
After nearly half a month of consolidation and testing, General Hong succeeded in one fell swoop, waded across the river that the Xianyou Kingdom regarded as an insurmountable barrier, and approached the capital of Xianyou.
The Senyu Kingdom put up a desperate resistance, Bega actively transported supplies, and some monsters "spontaneously" joined the battle of the Senyu Kingdom.
At the same time, two armies of Bega also entered Baling and stationed there.
This is called "forcing the enemy to fight", forcing the Baling Kingdom to fight against General Hong.
Beijia has discovered that the Baling Kingdom is indecisive and is wavering between it and Panlong City. It is unwilling to stick its neck out to deal with Panlong City like the Xianyou Kingdom did.
It’s easy. Beijia led his troops into Baling and put pressure on them in real time.
The Bega army is eyeing their own land covetously. Does Baling still want to sit on the fence? They must make a statement immediately!
The King of Baling was facing unprecedented pressure at this time.
He Lingchuan was also very clear that the progress of the Panlong army was not as expected!
Even with General Hong in command of the overall situation, the advancement of the Panlong City front was nearly a month slower than before. This gave Beijia the opportunity to force Baling Kingdom to take sides, thereby increasing the variables of this war.
Zhong Shengguang asked him:
"It's getting harder and harder to attack Xianyou. What do you think?"
He Lingchuan said without hesitation: "Because General Hong cherishes his soldiers."
Zhong Shengguang was not surprised by his answer: "Huh? It's wrong to cherish soldiers?"
"It's not wrong. The commander asked me for the reason, and this is the reason, regardless of right or wrong." He Lingchuan himself had thought about the situation in the northwest countless times, "How many years have Panlong City's good days lasted? Originally, the whole city had to tighten its belt, and you and General Hong had to concentrate the limited forces at hand to build an elite division, the Dafeng Army."
"The meaning of elite is that they are few but good. The Dafeng Army has been honed for many years, and the total number of people is only a few thousand. General Hong cherishes them very much." For any general, the vanguard soldiers are his backbone and confidence, and the sharpest knife in his hand. "The Panlongcheng Army is not bad, but compared with the Dafeng Army, it is the difference between ordinary iron and divine soldiers. So General Hong is best at rapid annihilation and guerrilla warfare, galloping 800 miles overnight to take people's heads. But Xianyou is a powerful country itself, and it has been fighting with Panlongcheng for many years. The army has high combat effectiveness and is more familiar with Panlongcheng's fighting style."
He Lingchuan sighed, "There is nothing wrong with General Hong's fighting style, but it is difficult to fight right now. This is an objective fact. You have seen this a long time ago, so you ordered me to form the Seymour Corps and train the Tiger Wing elite soldiers, just to create another king's army in addition to the Gale Army."
He successfully completed the task, and Panlong City's combat capability was more than just doubled.
Zhong Shengguang listened carefully, and then asked: "The deadlock will not last long. Either we retreat, or the immortals will be destroyed. When do you think it will be possible to break the deadlock?"
"Ba Ling may regret his decision at any time, which will be even more disadvantageous to us. Therefore, if we want to quickly conquer Xianyou in a short period of time, General Hong can no longer be stingy with his troops." He Lingchuan exhaled, "The war on the northwest front will become extremely cruel and brutal!"
The war has advanced to this point, and we have no choice but to fight.
If Panlong City abandons its attack on Xianyou halfway, the situation will change completely.
Therefore, not only Xianyou, who was at a disadvantage, had no choice, but Panlong City, the attacking party that was at an advantage, also had no way to retreat!
And even after General Red changed his fighting style, he still had to win, otherwise the soldiers would have died in vain.
Zhong Shengguang raised his cup, gulped it down, and then exhaled:
"I called you back from the front for another arrangement."
"Please speak, Commander." Sure enough, his premonition was right.
"The battle in Yuheng City is gradually stabilizing, and the soldiers are confident in facing the Beijia army. I want Liao Shuang and your subordinate Liu Tiao to take over." These two generals are rising stars in Panlong City in the past three years. General Hong has praised them by name. "Future battles will become more and more difficult, and these children should learn to be independent. With Wen Daolun's cooperation, Yuheng City is a good touchstone."
Panlong City needs new blood and the battlefield needs rookies.
He Lingchuan pondered for a moment and nodded: "Liao Shuang is smart and Liu Tiao is rigorous. This combination may be able to resist Lu Wushuang. But if Beijia General Qiu Rong arrives, it will be hard to say."
"He has run into trouble, and the expedition to Yuheng City can only be postponed, or the Demon Emperor has to change his generals." Zhong Shengguang smiled, "The demons behind him have committed a serious crime in Lingxu City."
"Good opportunity." He Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had studied Qiu Rong's fighting style for a long time. Lingxu City was full of talented generals, and this one's fighting style was also very unique. It was a good thing that Qiu Rong could not come to fight for a short period of time.
"It's indeed a good opportunity, so--" Zhong Shengguang looked at him and said slowly, "I have another call for you."
