Two Great City States is gingerly as the Mountains and Seas City neighbor, was worried that does not know which day, the flames of war burn to their territory. 山海城刚刚以闪电战拿下【岭南城邦】,气势正盛,兵锋正锐。两大城邦作为山海城的邻居是战战兢兢,担心不知哪一天,战火就燃烧到他们领地。 Mountains and Seas City clarified has wanted to solve first 【Yunnan City State】, Helps them obtain opportunity of the respite. When is at this type to be sensitive the time, Mountains and Seas City seize Xuanwu Pass, is really suddenly frightening. 只是山海城摆明了是想先解决【云南城邦】,才让他们获得一丝喘息之机。可就在这种敏感时时刻,山海城突然拿下宣武关,实在让人心惊。 Two Great City States Landgrafs gathers for this reason once more same place, discussed the countermeasure together. 两大城邦的领主们为此再次聚到一起,共同商议对策。 „What the Mountains and Seas City goal is, must play one time to use diversionary tactics, were their real motives have aimed at our Two Great City States unexpectedly?” Landgrafs is fearful and apprehensive. “山海城的目的是什么,难道又要玩一次声东击西,他们的真实目的竟是已经瞄准我们两大城邦了吗？”领主们胆战心惊。 „Is impossible. At the Mountains and Seas City present military strength, simultaneously has not declared possibly war with Two Great City States.” “不可能。以山海城现在的兵力,没可能同时跟两大城邦宣战。” „That, if the Mountains and Seas City goal is our one?” “那,如果山海城的目标是我们其中的一个呢？” „......” “……” The scene is instantaneously peaceful, everyone Landgraf looks at each other in blank diamay. 场面瞬间安静下来,诸位领主面面相觑。 Two Great City States Landgraf looks at each other, in the eye somewhat meant that is difficult to be bright. 两大城邦的领主互相看着对方,眼中有些意味难明。 The hall atmosphere instantaneously becomes subtle. 大厅气氛瞬间变得微妙起来。 : dead fellow daoist isn't a dead AND poor fellow daoist, if Mountains and Seas City if really two choose one, the starting goal of their naturally hope Mountains and Seas City choice is the opposite party, but is not one's own side. 正所谓:死道友不死贫道,如果山海城真要是二选一的话,他们自然希望山海城选择的下手目标是对方,而不是己方。 【Chuanbei City State】 Landgraf, is heart is startled. 【川北城邦】的领主,就更是心惊。 After all the Second Corps attack, is Coalition Forces of their subordinates. 毕竟第二军团袭击的,正是他们麾下的联军。 In this time, some people have stood, said categorically: „Is impossible, Mountains and Seas City will not make war to us in this time.” 就在此时,有人站了出来,斩钉截铁地说道:“不可能的,山海城绝不会在此时向我们开战。” „Makes one think so?” “何以见得？” everyone Landgraf looks, the one who sees speech is Stratagem Saint Zhang Liang, does not dare to neglect, sought for advice modestly. Zhang Liang can they be has experienced, gasps in admiration all. 诸位领主一看,见说话的是谋圣张良,不敢怠慢,虚心求教。张良之能他们可是见识过,无不叹服。 When this, Two Great City States also truly needs a discouraging news. 当此之时,两大城邦也确实需要一个振奋人心的消息。 „Because the time is not right, place is not right, the tactical rules are less right.” Zhang Liang said continually three are not right. “因为时间不对,地点不对,战法更不对。”张良连说了三个不对。 „First said the opportunity. At this time when Mountains and Seas City reorganizes main forces, new three Corps have not taken shape. At this time declared war in a hurry, wasn't stupid? Fully does not conform to the Mountains and Seas City style.” “先说时机。此时正是山海城整编大军之时,新增的三个军团还没成型。这种时候匆匆宣战,不是愚蠢吗？完全不符合山海城的行事风格。” „Said the place again. In seize 【Lingnan City State】 Later, Mountains and Seas City main forces may attack Xiangnan Province from Shaozhou County greatly directly, or attacks Chuanbei Province from Kunming County. So, why bother to do a thankless job, chooses Guilin County this kind of middle place, alerts the enemy?!” “再说地点。在拿下【岭南城邦】之后,山海城大军大可从韶州郡直接进攻湘南行省,或者从昆明郡进攻川北行省。如此,何苦吃力不讨好,偏偏选择桂林郡这样一个中间地点,打草惊蛇呢？！” „Finally was the tactical rules. Looks over Mountains and Seas City all previous military campaign, War is various Collective Army coordinates War Operations each time, this attack merely is only Leopard Hides Army Second Corps. First Corps has not coordinated Second Corps, takes advantage of opportunity to advance on Guiping Pass. If they really prepare to attack us, cannot so.” “最后就是战法了。纵观山海城历次战役,每次大战都是各集团军协同作战,此次出击的仅仅只是豹韬军第二军团。就连第一军团都没有配合第二军团,顺势进击桂平关。他们真要是准备攻打我们,绝不会如此。” „What is stranger, Second Corps has not exploited a victory Chasing Strike, at one fell swoop seize Prestigious Military Pass. Also in other words , the opposite party has to attack the sharp weapon of fort, actually halts. Isn't this strange?” “更加诡异的是,第二军团没有乘胜追击,一举拿下威武关。也就是说,对方拥有攻打要塞的利器,却止步不前。这还不奇怪吗？” Zhang Liang observes the situation everyone Landgraf, said firmly: „Therefore , Mountains and Seas City will not make war in this time.” 张良环视诸位领主,坚定说道:“所以说,山海城绝不会在此时开战。” The voice just fell, everyone Landgraf applauds unconsciously, facial expressions rouse, like suddenly puts down the within heart thousand honored heavy burdens to be ordinary, one felt relieved that sweeps the previous haze. 话音刚落,诸位领主不觉鼓掌,一个个神情振奋,就像突然放下心中的千钧重担一般,一下放下心来,一扫此前的阴霾。 „Good that said that too correctly!” “说的好,太正确不过了！” „Right, certainly is this, the mister said is correct!” “没错,一定就是这样,先生说的再正确不过了！” everyone Landgraf is liberal to offer their praises, the facial expression is sincere. 诸位领主不吝献上他们的溢美之词,神情恳切。 This mood, can understand. 此种心情,着实能够理解。 The news when Xuanwu Pass falls to the enemy comes, asked that which Landgraf presents is not panic-stricken, felt the prospect is dim?! 当宣武关沦陷的消息传来,试问在座是哪一位领主不惊慌失措,一个个感到前景黯淡？！ Only had truely went through the war, they heartfelt feeling, within heart to some Mountains and Seas City actually big fears. Unknowingly, Mountains and Seas City has become a mountain, presses them not to gasp for breath. 唯有真正经历了战争,他们才真切感受到,心中对山海城究竟有多大的恐惧。不知不觉,山海城已经成了一座大山,压得他们喘不过气来。 Landgraf that slow the god has come slightly, consults Zhang Liang once more sincerely, asked: „Sir, since Mountains and Seas City has no intention to make war, what their this seize Xuanwu Pass goal is?” 稍稍缓过神来的领主,再次恳切地请教张良,问道:“先生,既然山海城无意开战,那他们这次拿下宣武关的目的是什么？” The Zhang Liang facial expression is complex, said: „If I expect well, the opposite party should want to take back Guilin County.” 张良神情复杂,说道:“如果我所料不错,对方应该是想收回桂林郡。” „......” “……” everyone Landgraf discovered that they are unable to refute unexpectedly. 诸位领主发现,他们竟然无法反驳。 One year ago, when their seize Guilin County, not self-satisfied. Where thinks, merely one year, Mountains and Seas City already formidable in this way. 一年之前,他们拿下桂林郡时,未尝没有得意。哪里想到,仅仅一年时间,山海城已经强大如斯。 Originally wonderful Guilin County, hot potato. 原本美妙的桂林郡,一下成了烫手山芋。 „Does that give back to them?” Some Landgraf asked cautiously. “那,还给他们吗？”有领主小心翼翼地问道。 „Also anything also! Now we are the mortal enemies, goes back eagerly, doesn't dislike disgraced?” Zhang Liang has not said anything, had Landgraf to raise the objection. “还什么还！现在我们已经是死敌了,眼巴巴地还回去,不嫌丢人吗？”张良还没说什么呢,已是有领主提出异议。 „, You, won't others have taken? When at that time, Mountains and Seas City main forces killed Guilin County, we resisted with what, can make war with Mountains and Seas City really comprehensively?” 【Chuanbei City State】 The Landgraf rebuttal said that the facial expression disdains. “呵,你不还,人家就不会自己取吗？等到那时,山海城大军杀进桂林郡,我们拿什么去抵挡,难道真的要跟山海城全面开战吗？”一位【川北城邦】领主反驳道,神情不屑。 „Makes war makes war, can it also seize our two City State be inadequate?” “开战就开战,它还能拿下我们两个城邦不成？” „Snort, dexterous that said that you forgot 【Lingnan City State】 Is how the destruction?” “哼,说的轻巧,你忘了【岭南城邦】是怎么覆灭的吗？” ...... …… everyone Landgraf debates unceasingly in light of this, makes is heavily engaged. 诸位领主就此争论不休,闹得不可开交。 South of the Colored Clouds, Great Official Ximen and other big shots also do not have the explicit statement, Zhang Liang take Adviser, at this time did not have the right to speak, the entire scene is at a stalemate in light of this. 偏偏彩云之南、西门大官人等大佬又没明确表态,张良作为谋士,这种时候就更没有发言权,整个场面就此僵持下来。 Finally makes parts on bad terms. 最终还是闹得不欢而散。 ************ ************ Is surprised when Two Great City States, opinion does not unify, the 24 date, Southern Border Protectorate General Vast Display Monastery sent the diplomatic envoy, went abroad on a diplomatic mission Two Great City States, took away the Your Lordship Ouyang Shuo's ultimatum. 就在两大城邦惊疑不定,意见不统一时,二十四日,南疆都护府鸿胪寺派遣使节团,出使两大城邦,带去君上欧阳朔的最后通牒。 Ouyang Shuo announced Two Great City States: 欧阳朔宣告两大城邦: One year ago, Two Great City States takes advantage of somebody's precarious position, by dishonorable method seize Guilin County. After one year, Mountains and Seas City prepares to take back Guilin County, but also looks at Two Great City States do not make the fearless revolt. 一年前,两大城邦乘人之危,以不光彩的手段拿下桂林郡。时隔一年,山海城准备收回桂林郡,还望两大城邦不要做无畏的反抗。 If Two Great City States wants the peace to return Guilin County, then Mountains and Seas City not only does not go into one's past, but also is willing also to be even willing to open up the Two Great City States trade channel with Two Great City States reconciliation ;, permits Two Great City States business team through the seaborne commerce channel that Mountains and Seas City opens, carries out the ocean trade. 倘若两大城邦愿意和平交回桂林郡,则山海城不仅既往不咎,还愿意跟两大城邦和解；甚至还愿意开通两大城邦的贸易渠道,允许两大城邦的商队通过山海城开辟的海上贸易渠道,开展远洋贸易。 If refuses to hand over Guilin County, Mountains and Seas City main forces will guard resolutely the territory glory, forcefully takes back Guilin County by Military Power. Even if pays the big price, refuses to balk. 如果拒绝交出桂林郡,山海城大军将坚决捍卫领地荣耀,以武力强行收回桂林郡。即便付出再大的代价,都在所不惜。 Also asked Two Great City States do not suspect that Mountains and Seas City guarded the determination of territory glory. 还请两大城邦不要怀疑,山海城捍卫领地荣耀的决心。 How to choose, but also looks at Two Great City States within three days, to a Mountains and Seas City answer. 到底如何选择,还望两大城邦在三天之内,给山海城一个答复。 ...... …… This diplomatic note uses both persuasion and threats, radish big stick on together. 此通牒软硬兼施,萝卜大棒一起上。 With the South of the Colored Clouds words is: „Really shameless! They attack 【Lingnan City State】 Reasonable legitimate, traded our seize Guilin County is the dishonorable method? Simply absurd.” 用彩云之南的话来说就是:“实在无耻至极！他们攻打【岭南城邦】就合理合法,换我们拿下桂林郡就是不光彩手段了？简直岂有此理。” Zhang Liang listened, actually knits the brows. His Lordship is not clear to the present, as Landgraf, particularly Wilderness Landgraf, „shameless” is also a moral excellence? 张良听了,却是皱眉。他的这位主公难道到现在都还不明白,作为一位领主,尤其是荒野领主,“无耻”也是一种美德吗？ Mountains and Seas City can realize that the time puts in the moral commanding point oneself, the book is a brilliant method. 山海城能够意识到时刻将自身置于道德制高点,本就是一种高明手段。 If were the common people says also excusable, but South of the Colored Clouds was Wilderness Big Landgraf, said this, did not appear weak, making the person laugh? 如果是寻常百姓这么说还情有可原,但彩云之南可是一位荒野大领主啊,说出这样的话,不是显得幼稚,让人笑话吗？ Mountains and Seas City the move, is really brilliant. 山海城的这一招,实在是高明至极。 Just like Zhang Liang sentences in advance, Mountains and Seas City has no intention to make war with Two Great City States. Before this seizes the Military motion of Xuanwu Pass, but is preparing the ground for this time diplomatic envoy. 正如张良预判的一样,山海城根本无意跟两大城邦开战。此前占领宣武关的军事行动,不过是在为这次的使节团做铺垫。 The real objective, is thinks that soldier Bloodshed smoothly does not take back Guilin County. 其真正目的,就是想兵不血刃地顺利收回桂林郡。 Not only then, scrubbed discarded the Guilin County shame, but also north can stabilize the boundary taking advantage of this at one fell swoop, for following Yunnan War, cleaned a timing bomb. 如此一来,不仅洗刷了丢掉桂林郡的耻辱,还能借此一举稳定北境,为接下来的云南大战,扫除一个定时炸弹。 What is more important, but can also in Two Great City States within heart, lay down the Mountains and Seas City unstoppable seed, will attack Two Great City States for the future, will establish the psychological superiority. 更重要的是,还能在两大城邦心中,埋下山海城无可抵挡的种子,为将来攻打两大城邦,建立心理上的优势。 So, it may be said that kills three birds with one stone. 如此,可谓一举三得。 Present Mountains and Seas City, had the Wilderness Overlord bearing truly with the embryonic form, solved issue no longer excessively to take advantage of Military Power, but was various methods and using, skillful. 现在的山海城,才算真正有了荒野霸主的气度跟雏形,解决问题不再过分依仗武力,而是各种手段并用,纯熟至极。 In comparison, Two Great City States still at noisy internal strife, radically insufficiently looks. 相比之下,两大城邦还在闹内讧,根本就不够看。 Zhang Liang to Colored Clouds City, right 【Xiangnan City State】 The prospect, is even more does not favor. Since this ship, he easily will not disembark. 张良对彩云城,对【湘南城邦】的前景,是越发的不看好了。只是既然上了这条船,他就轻易不会下船。 Must sink, must sink together with steamship. 要沉,也要跟着大船一起沉下去。 As well as opens up the business channel as for the reconciliation that in the diplomatic note mentioned, although Zhang Liang was not really transparent, wants also to know that Mountains and Seas City has set the foreshadowing for in surely, will not look like the surface to look simply like that. 至于通牒中提到的和解以及开通商贸渠道,张良虽然不甚明了,想也知道,山海城在里面必定是埋下了伏笔的,绝不会像表面看去那般简单。 Is such one „bait”, Two Great City States Landgrafs is very difficult to reject. 偏偏就是这样一个“诱饵”,两大城邦的领主们很难拒绝。 Is the person, will have the ostrich psychology, Landgraf naturally is no exception. Also can reconcile with Mountains and Seas City, does not need to live fearful and apprehensive, but can also carry out the ocean trade, this enticement, they feared that is very difficult to reject. 是人,都会有鸵鸟心理,领主自然也不例外。既能跟山海城和解,不用心惊胆战地活着,还能开展远洋贸易,这个诱惑,他们怕是很难拒绝。 The fact is also so. 事实也是如此。 Cannot shoulder first, is 【Chuanbei City State】. 最先扛不住的,正是【川北城邦】。 A Xuanwu Pass war, 【Chuanbei City State】 Coalition Forces enough casualty 26,000 more people. 宣武关一战,【川北城邦】联军足足折损了两万六千余人。 Loves dearly! 心疼啊！ Is scared. 更是胆寒。 Facing Mountains and Seas City weapon's edge, they do not have the confidence to defend Guilin County completely. 面对山海城的兵锋,他们完全没信心守住桂林郡。 【Chuanbei City State】 The interior was already captured by Vast Display Monastery, secretly many Landgraf are Mountains and Seas City „good friend”, is limited to the Mountains and Seas City being hostile to mood. 【川北城邦】内部早就被鸿胪寺攻下,暗地里不少领主都已经是山海城的“好朋友”,对山海城的敌视情绪有限。 Now Mountains and Seas City on offers the olive branch outwardly on own initiative, how they can not accept. Did not say is they, is Great Official Ximen such Big Landgraf, is hesitates erratically. 现在山海城在明面上主动伸出橄榄枝,他们又怎么会不接受。不说是他们,就是西门大官人这样的大领主,也是迟疑不定。 The huge profit of ocean trade, little has Landgraf to reject. 远洋贸易的巨额利润,很少有领主能够拒绝。 In „person with high aspirations” under adding fuel to the flames, again persuade by diplomatic envoy unceasing, 【Chuanbei City State】 Internal opinion is achieving slowly consistently, is willing to withdraw from Guilin County in light of this. 在“有心人”的推波助澜之下,再在使节团的不断游说下,【川北城邦】内部的意见正在慢慢达成一致,愿意就此退出桂林郡。 The situation is developing in direction of Ouyang Shuo expectation. 局势正朝着欧阳朔期望的方向发展。
