In Guangling County, major officials and generals including Wang Chuan, Wang Yuhe, Gao Bin, Kong Donglai, Kong Xiang, Shangguan Guang, Nangong Zhi, Guo Hongyan, Kong Zhiying, Chen Jin, Wang Ping, Shangguan Yong, etc. gathered together.
A piece of news was put in front of everyone—the second prince Xia Shu sold Wuyang County to Anyang! This information did not cause any fluctuations in Anyang, but it caused an uproar in the three counties of Guangling County, which was the "later Great Xia Kingdom", thousands of miles away.
"It's not good! Anyang is going to attack us!" Gao Bin's face was a little pale. Although Songzhou County has been merged into Guangling County to form the Later Great Xia Kingdom, Songzhou County is Gao Bin's foundation after all. Now that Anyang has bought Wuyang County, Songzhou County is the first one to be acquired!
Shangguan Yong laughed: "Li Xian is really good at playing. This is the first time I know that business is so powerful that it can be bought and sold! It's really a good slogan of 'industry and commerce make the country strong and prosperous'."
Wang Chuan looked at Shangguan Yong, "Nephew, what do you think we should do now?"
Shangguan Yong was not polite either: "Now Anyang is preparing for the Cultivation Conference. It is expected to be held in 23 days; and the Cultivation Conference will definitely not be over in a short time, it is estimated that it will take ten days. If it is delayed, and any disputes arise, it will take more time. And this month is our opportunity. First, we ask His Majesty (the third prince Xia Guang) to issue an imperial edict to denounce the second prince's treason and declare that he does not recognize this deal. Secondly, we use propaganda and other means to win over those in Wuyang County who are loyal to the Great Xia Kingdom, or use benefits to lure some families and so on. As long as we have a certain popular base, we can take the opportunity to occupy Wuyang County openly. This is our opportunity. As long as we do it well, we can have the area of four counties."
"It's a good idea, but it doesn't seem to take our combat capability into consideration. Do we really have the ability to challenge Anyang?" Wang Ping asked at the right time. The battle between countries is ultimately a contest of fists; if the military force is not strong enough, no matter how good the strategy is, it will be useless.
Shangguan Yong glanced at Wang Ping lightly, "I'm at my wit's end. This is the only strategy I can think of."
Deep down in his heart, Shangguan Yong could only sigh again and again. Who could have thought that things would change so quickly!
The changes that have taken place in the past six months have been overwhelming. After a series of wars, everyone suddenly discovered that Anyang has risen, Tang has risen, and Xiao has risen; the once powerful Nanyang County has fallen, the eldest prince has been cleared out, Dongyuan County has unconditionally surrendered to Anyang, and Cai State has become a fat piece of meat in everyone's eyes...
In fact, Shangguan Yong no longer had any hope for the current Guangling County and the so-called "later Great Xia Kingdom"; especially this so-called "later Great Xia Kingdom", in Shangguan Yong's eyes, it was simply a joke, it was simply a "self-help organization for disaster victims".
However, at this moment, a messenger rushed over: "Report, it's urgent, Qi has sent 300,000 troops to invade the border!"
Crash... Everyone was stunned. The thing they were most worried about finally happened!
It was not only the people in Guangling County who saw the opportunity of holding the cultivation conference in Anyang and failing to take the surrounding situation into consideration. The State of Qi also saw the opportunity.
