"Wait..." Seeing Xiong Ren turn around and prepare to leave, Old Man Xiong stopped him again.
"Master, do you have any other instructions?" Xiong Ren asked hurriedly.
After thinking for a while, Old Man Xiong said: "Tell the base in the island country that when sending these two thousand people, they must be equipped with a command team with rich combat experience. This is very important."
"Okay!" Xiong Ren responded and asked, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"No more, go ahead!" Old Man Xiong said, waving his hands.
On the highway heading to Pingcheng, Shangguan Qiuyu turned around and glanced at Ye Qing while driving, and said, "Are you so sure that the Xiong family will do their best to protect Pingcheng?"
"There is no doubt about it." Ye Qing nodded and said: "The strategic location of Pingcheng is too important. If the Xiong family loses Pingcheng, whether it is my Ye family or our Luo faction, once they march into the southeast
, we can drive straight in through Pingcheng. At that time, we can form a flanking attack from the north route. At that time, no matter which way we break through, it will be a fatal blow to the Xiong family. The result is that the Xiong family
It’s unbearable, so no matter what, the Xiong family must keep Pingcheng.”
"I don't quite understand." Shangguan Qiuyu looked at Ye Qing and said thoughtfully.
"What don't you understand?" Ye Qing asked.
Shangguan Qiuyu thought for a while and said: "Relatively speaking, Yangcheng is in the core area of the southeast. We control Yangcheng, which seems to be more disadvantageous to the Xiong family. However, the Xiong family still gave up, which is incredible."
"It's nothing incredible." Ye Qing responded with a smile.
"Why?" Shangguan Qiuyu asked confused.
Ye Qing explained: "Although Yangcheng is in the core area of the southeast, it is surrounded by the territory of the Xiong family. It can be said that to us, Yangcheng is an island isolated in the sea. Once a war breaks out, we will not be able to provide support to Yangcheng at all.
, we can only rely on the Mei family to fight alone."
"In Old Man Xiong's opinion, when the time comes, the Xiong family is fully capable of recapturing Yangcheng before our two armies break through, so he is not particularly worried that Yangcheng is in our hands. In order not to expose the Qin Xiong family's
The secret is lost when Yangcheng is lost."
"But Pingcheng is different. Once we control Pingcheng, behind Pingcheng is Hengcheng, and behind Hengcheng is Shacheng, and then Zhucheng, or in other words, the entire Southwest controlled by our Luo family, this is a continuous
Filmy."
"At that time, we can continuously support Pingcheng. It is almost impossible for the Xiong family to regain Pingcheng. After all, at that time, the Xiong family will still have to face the attack of the army on our northern route, and they will lose sight of one thing."
After hearing Ye Qing's explanation, Shangguan Qiuyu nodded and said, "I understand."
After a pause, she pondered and asked: "Then which city is the bridgehead in the southeast and north?"
"Weicheng!" Ye Qing responded and said, "But this Weicheng is different from Pingcheng."
Ye Qing thought for a while and said: "The three cities behind Pingcheng are all controlled by the Bear faction, while Weicheng faces three cities. Among them, Qingcheng is the territory of our Luo faction, and the other two cities are controlled by the two factions.
It is controlled by a neutral family. When the time comes, not to mention these two families helping us, as long as they continue to be neutral, the situation will be one city vs. one city, which is already an advantage for our Luo camp."
"One city versus one city, how can this become an advantage?" Shangguan Qiuyu asked in confusion.
Although Shangguan Qiuyu is an excellent assassin, she doesn't know much about other aspects.
Ye Qing explained patiently: "Our Luo family camp is composed of many military families. Once the war starts, our combat experience will be much richer than that of the Xiong family. This is our innate advantage, so for Wei City, as long as we are willing,
It can be captured at any time."
After a pause, Ye Qing continued: "Then Pingcheng is different. Pingcheng protrudes from the southeast, and the next three cities are all bear-type. Once the war starts in Pingcheng, the Neng family can give Pingcheng all-round strategic support.
Support, even if our army is stronger than the Xiong family, it will be difficult to obtain benefits, not to mention that Pingcheng is a barrier with natural dangers blocking our march route."
"Natural danger?" Shangguan Qiuyu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look out the car window, pursed his lips and said: "Now we have entered the Pingcheng area, but it is a flat plain. Where is the natural danger?"
"Haha!" Ye Qing couldn't help but laugh, and asked without answering: "Have you never been to Pingcheng?"
"No!" Shangguan Qiuyu shook his head and responded.
"Then you really don't understand the geographical location of Pingcheng." Ye Qing responded and said: "On the three sides of Pingcheng, they are all plains. It is indeed a flat river, but the side that just faces Hengcheng is rugged.
The mountains are huge. The only road from Hengcheng to Pingcheng is surrounded by high mountains and cliffs on both sides. After entering Pingcheng from Hengcheng, you must pass through a gourd mouth, and this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as we seize this hole, we will
You can imagine how difficult it would be to conquer Pingcheng."
After a pause, Ye Qing said with a wry smile: "If there really is a fight, the Xiong family can continuously send supplies to Pingcheng from the three cities behind Pingcheng, but we can only transport supplies through the Hengping Highway, and the Xiong family only needs
If we send out a few small teams to hide in the mountains on both sides of the Hengping Highway to destroy our transportation lines, our frontline troops will have to face a shortage of supplies during the battle."
"Oh!" Shangguan Qiuyu responded and said thoughtfully: "So if possible, you want to control Pingcheng through other means, right?"
"Yes!" Ye Qing nodded and responded.
"What method is that?" Shangguan Qiuyu asked again.
"I don't know!" Ye Qing smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "If we can't find an excuse now, we can't break up with the Ke family in Heping City, so I can't target the Ke family."
"That's true." Shangguan Qiuyu nodded and said, "Even if we start a war, we have to make a name for ourselves!"
"Yes." Ye Qing nodded and said: "Especially when facing a family like the Xiong family that has made great contributions to Dahua, it is even more important to be famous. If there is no reason to go to war, we will become the common people.
Even if the party making the accusation knows that the Xiong family intends to betray Dahua, but there is no evidence, it would be unreasonable."
"Alas..." Shangguan Qiuyu sighed and said, "Then we can only do our best to find evidence."
