For the next week, Lide basically spent in the wine pool and meat forest.
A week later, life started to get back on track. Originally, he planned to lie in bed for another ten days and a half months, but the attack on Yunyang had already started, and the overall atmosphere in Yuxi City became tense in an instant. He Yue and Fang Shisan often hold meetings to discuss various issues, propose various plans, and finally choose the most feasible one to implement.
Heyue was watching over the logistical supplies, Fang Shisan was in charge of the frontline operations, Shuang was on the spying intelligence side, and Yunye was handing over the handling. The operation of Yuxi City was very stable from beginning to end, without any major problems. But after all, Yunyang is a territory with a deep foundation. Even though it is now ranked in the middle and lower ranks among the thirty-six territories, there are still many interests involved.
It is impossible for Lidd to completely let go of many things. For example, a territory that has good relations with Yunyang must be naturally hostile to the expansion of Yuxi City. If these forces are allowed to gather together, Yuxi City will be fighting against many territories at the same time, which is impossible with the current strength of Yuxi City.
Yunyang is not scary, what is scary are those people standing behind Yunyang waiting to share the cake. These people have long regarded Yunyang as their own private land, such as the original Huaiwang territory and Qiming territory, and they hope to draw Yunyang's blood continuously by supporting the son of Yunyang Liyi.
The good news is that most of these territories don't know much about Yuxi City. This is also due to the fact that Yuxi City established its own Anbu system a long time ago, and it has thoroughly cleaned up the eyeliner from other territories.
When the nobles in most of the territories mentioned Yuxi City, their views were still very simple:
Those people in Yuxi City must have strength, otherwise it would be impossible to gnaw off such a large piece of meat from Yunyang, and it would be impossible to successfully resist the invasion of the demons. But in the final analysis, it's still just a bunch of dolls messing around, young and energetic, but they will definitely be played with by old people like themselves.
As the saying goes, there is a raging soldier, and there is a raging nest. Just look at the owner of Yuxi City and you will know that the atmosphere of Yuxi City is not much better.
Based on this point of view, the resistance of many territories to Yuxi City is actually not so thorough. This gave Yuxi City room to operate. After all, when they divided up Yunyang, some would get more and some would get less. Liddell only needs to offer higher prices to those territories that get less, and they can quickly sell off their former allies and stand on Liddell's side.
Of course, they still don't know that if Lide wins Yunyang, he won't give any money away.
"It must be done as soon as possible...before the new policy of the king's capital comes down."
He Yue and Li De said solemnly:
"The reason why we chose to fight Yunyang now is for this reason. Over the years, the royal family hoped to divide the various territories from the inside through the Tweet Order. If there hadn't been the Cangzhou lord's uprising that year, this policy might have really worked wonders. But then With the decline of the influence of the royal family, the territory capable of raising troops can no longer sit still. No one is willing to die slowly like this, and everyone wants to fight for the throne while the territory is still intact."
He Yue drew a river on the blackboard, cut a line in the middle, and continued:
"So the Tweet Order is a blockage, blocking those ambitions and subconsciously consuming them. But now this dam is not strong enough, and it is like a flood, so it can only be diverted. Next, the prime minister in white in the capital It will definitely lead to conflicts in various territories and let them fight to consume their strength. We must take Yunyang before that, otherwise the forces standing behind Yunyang will not wait and see, but come down in person Land grabs."
Li De nodded. This is actually a cliché, and the strategic direction has been mentioned many times in Yuxi City.
During this period of time, Lide signed a lot of shameful treaties, promising to pay so much every year in the future in exchange for the support or neutrality of certain territories. But Lide himself didn't care about it at all. The spirit of contract is worth admiring and promoting, but these things are all meaningless in the face of war. War itself is a rebellion against the rules. Where there is a fight, there is no reason for it. Whoever has the biggest fist is qualified to speak.
Yun Ye also met Li De a few times, but only after drinking. She is also considered to be unique among the senior management in Yuxi City. Others are forbidden to drink before the meeting, but Yun Ye must drink before the meeting. There are special people watching her, and she is not allowed to enter the meeting hall if she dare not burn half a catty of sweet potatoes.
After drinking, Yun Ye obviously looked more sober, with her hair brushed back, revealing a smooth forehead, and her voice was steady:
"According to the plan, let the brothers and sisters of the Lord City Lord go to make a fuss first. Since the Yunyang prince was captured last time, the hearts of Yunyang Territory have been fluctuating, and the calls for changing the prince have been louder and louder. We will add fuel to the flames later. , create momentum as much as possible, so that Lord Yunyang has to deal with troubles from all over the place."
Lid thought for a while and replied:
"It's not that simple. Most of my brothers don't work hard, and they won't really fight Yunyang to the end. My elder brother will probably panic, but Lord Yunyang won't. He is a man who can calm down the situation." People, you should soon be able to see that we are behind the scenes, and they will definitely target us. If Yuxi City is destroyed, my gang of brothers will not be able to jump up."
Yun Ye smiled and said:
"Your Excellency's judgment is basically the same as Miss Thirteen's. She has already considered this possibility in advance, so she has gone to the front line since the day before yesterday. It is definitely necessary to fight, but there are a group of red-eyed young masters of Yunyang watching from behind. , the lord of Yunyang will definitely not be able to send out all the troops. The purpose of our efforts to win over the young masters of Yunyang is actually here."
Hearing that Fang Shisan had gone to the front line again, Li De sighed lightly, but this is Fang Shisan's characteristic. If she was left to rest at the back at this time, she would definitely not be willing. This was the first time in her life that she commanded a war of this scale, and it was only human to want to prepare early to be foolproof.
The last time the lord of Yunyang personally led an army to rescue Prince Yunyang, he was stopped by Li De alone. But judging from the situation at the time, the army under Lord Yunyang's command was still quite capable. Many of those troops were old soldiers who participated in the suppression of the rebellion against the Lord of Cangzhou. They were battle-tested and very capable of fighting. Moreover, neither the Yunyang Guard nor the personal guests of the Lord of Yunyang are for nothing. When it comes to the life and death of the Yunyang Territory, they will definitely do their best.
The number of people entering and leaving the City Lord's Mansion suddenly increased.
One day, Shuang came to Li De suddenly, and said with a complicated face:
"My lord, someone wants to see you."
Lide was looking at the documents on the table. Hearing this, he raised his head and asked:
"Who is it?"
Frost lowered her head and said:
"I don't know which faction it is, and I have never dealt with it before. They... call themselves the Church of the Abyss."
