Chapter 825 – Decisive Strike
Ouyang Shuo said to Shen Buhai, “I know about that. Next, the Shanhai Guards need to strengthen their investigations and try to obtain actual information. At the same time, mobilize all our chess pieces in Minnan Province.”
“Yes Monarch.”
Shen Buhai nodded solemnly; he could feel that the Lord was about to strike out this time.
Ouyang Shuo was ready to strike.
Facing the step by step attacks of the Silver Hand, it was meaningless to back off.
Yanhuang Alliance definitely would not expect that the chess piece that they had just buried would be exposed so quickly. They would not expect Shanhai City to choose to strike at this moment either.
To the Yanhuang Alliance, this was their weakest moment. When they had completed digested the aftereffects of the Yunnan war, as well as the three core technologies, even if Shanhai City did not strike, the Yanhuang Alliance would still provoke them.
Since that was the case, how could Ouyang Shuo bear all that? It was best to give them a fatal blow at this time.
When it is the time to act, one should act decisively.
Shanhai City’s plan in Minnan Province was not just set a day or two ago. Even Xunlong Dianxue could not imagine the level of influence Shanhai City possessed in Minnan Province.
This time, Ouyang Shuo was going to give Yanhuang Alliance a warning.
Similarly, it was time to declare war against Silver Hand. Since the two were determined to be enemies then let us fight!

The moment Shen Buhai left Ouyang Shuo summoned Du Ruhui, Jia Xu, and Huo Qubing.
“The situation is like that, what thoughts do all of you have?” Ouyang Shuo said.
The three of them exchanged glances with one another. Who would have thought that on the verge of establishing the country, the Monarch would actually want to declare war? Du Ruhui frowned as the new round of military reorganization was not completed yet. Starting a war now was a little rushed.
However, the reason the Monarch gave them was one that they had no way to refute.
“Then let’s fight!” Du Ruhui made his stance, “To leave such a hidden tumor alone, even if we establish the country, it would not be stable. Why don’t we strike decisively and remove this?”
Since Du Ruhui had agreed, the matter was passed.
Jia Xu was the Chief Secretary and only had the right to make suggestions but could not make the final decision. As the commander, since the Monarch wanted to fight, Huo Qubing was delighted and had no reason to object.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, “Now, we are at the key moment to upgrading to a Capital City, so the war cannot last for too long and must end quickly. Think of a plan!”
As the best advisor in the territory, Jia Xu accepted the duty.
Thinking about it, Jia Xu said slowly, “The best way would be to take out their leader. To make it fast, we must do it before the Yanhuang Alliance reacts. Then even if they want to interfere, they will not be able to do so.”
Ouyang Shuo said, “Directly Attack Xunlong City?”
“That’s right.” Jia Xu nodded.
Ouyang Shuo did not say anything conclusive. Instead, he shouted toward the outside, “Bring the map!”
A short while later, two guards brought in the map of Minnan Province and hung it on the west wall of the reading room. This was a map that Ouyang Shuo had purposely found to hang up.
Ouyang Shuo and the others moved in front of the map.
Minnan Province was lying upon mountains and was besides the oceans. 90% of the land area was mountainous hills, known as 80% mountain, 10% water, and 10% soil. The coastline was long and twisted and mainly consisted of erosional coasts, and there were many islands too.
As Minnan Province was located at a key area between the east and south sea, the ocean routes could reach both East Africa and South Asia. It was the Silk Road in history, and the starting point of Zheng He’s journey.
Minnan Province was also where Mazu culture began. Inland was where the Hakka agriculture civilization and the Hakka culture prospered.
The Minnan Province in the game was split into five prefectures.
From south to north was the Longyan Prefecture that was closest to Lingnan Province, Quanzhou Prefecture where the imperial city was located, Tingzhou Prefecture that was connected to Jiangchuan Province, Shaowu Prefecture, and Fuyong Prefecture where Xunlong City was located in.
Fuyong Prefecture was located at the north end of Minnan Province, and its northern portion was connected to Chuannan Province and south to Quanzhou Prefecture.
Ouyang Shuo pointed at the map, “To attack Xunlong City, we must go past Longyan Prefecture and Tingzhou Prefecture. Through the work of the Shanhai Guards, it would not be hard to cover the troops as they pass these two prefectures.
After the 4th system update, territories were banned from forming alliances with other territories not in the alliance to use their teleportation formations.
Hence, the Shanhai City Army had to physically move through the province.
In the five prefectures of Minnan Province, apart from Quanzhou and Fuyong Prefecture, around 70% of the remaining ones were allies of Shanhai City.
The so-called Shanhai Alliance-Xunlong Alliance was made just so as to please Shanhai City. Along with the 4th system update, the alliance was also disbanded.
In the dark, through the work of Honglu Temple, Shanhai Guards and Black Snake Guards, these territories had secretly leaned toward Shanhai City and had signed secret agreements.
As long as the Shanhai City Army arrived, these territories would change flags and merge with Shanhai City. Ouyang Shuo would not treat them badly and had promised them great rewards.
The goal was to control the Minnan Province situation when Xunlong City betrayed them. However, Ouyang Shuo had not expected that he would decide to use such chess pieces so early on.
Ouyang Shuo originally thought he could use them to get more refugees. Now, it seemed like he could only use this chance to take down the entire Minnan Province.
What happened next would blow the minds of Yanhuang Alliance.
Ouyang Shuo pointed at the map and continued, “Once the army gets into Fuyong Prefecture, their tracks will be tough to hide. Xunlong City has been in this prefecture for such a long time, so they have definitely achieved certain things.”
Jia Xu smiled like he already had a plan, “We can use our spies there to spread some rumors to say that raiders attacked the border houses to sow chaos and confuse them.”
Ouyang Shuo smiled, “That’s a good idea.”
After the 4th system update, the traveling speed of troops had greatly increased. From the border to Xunlong City would only take two days.
There was still enough time to disguise and misdirect.
As a member of Shanhai Alliance, Xunlong City’s military organization was the same as Shanhai City, and even its military structure and personnel arrangement were the same.
Xunlong City had a City Protection Division and a Guards Division. Each of the five houses had a Garrison Regiment. What remained was a full War Fighting Legion – Xunlong Legion.
This legion was not housed near the border, but it was not far away from Xunlong City.
Although the Shanhai Guards were unable to ensure that the army would be able to move smoothly in Fuyong Prefecture, Shanhai City still had hundreds of chess pieces within Xunlong City. Amongst which, one was the right hand man of Xunlong Dianxue.
It was mentioned before that Xunlong Dianxue was betrayed in the last life and nearly lost his home. In this life, this person had appeared once more. However, the difference this time was that he became a spy for the Black Snake Guards.
After the Shanhai Guards took over the resources of the Black Snake Guards, they naturally took over dealing with this person too. Xunlong Dianxue saying out the name Xiong Ba was also news sent out by this informant.
Hence, the Shanhai City Army just needed to smoothly enter the outskirts of Xunlong City and destroy the legion housed outside of the city. Then the hidden chess pieces could open up the gates and lead the army back into the city to take it down.
In such a short time, Xunlong Dianxue would not be able to ask for help.
Since the meeting was settled, Ouyang Shuo turned to look at Huo Qubing, “With the current conditions, we need to take down Xunlong City before Yanhuang Alliance reacts. Does the Guards Legion Corps have confidence?”
When Huo Qubing heard that, he was shocked. Although the Monarch summoning him meant that the Guards Legion Corps was going to participate, being officially named by the Monarch still made him emotional.
Huo Qubing excelled at such long distance attacks the most.
Huo Qubing bowed confidently and said, “We only need to send out the two cavalry legions and we can complete the mission.”
Ouyang Shuo smiled gleefully; he truly admired Huo Qubing’s confidence. Ouyang Shuo turned around and told Du Ruhui, “Inform the 3rd legion of the Tiger Legion Corps, after the Guards Legion Corps succeeds, immediately enter Minnan Province and take over the four prefectures along with the Guards Legion Corps and wipe out all resistance.”
Within Minnan Province, there were naturally a few who were not happy with Shanhai City. However, these territories were scattered and were not organized, so they posed little threat to Shanhai City.
The Tiger Legion Corps 3rd legion would clean out these people and also take charge of the armies of the territories merging with Shanhai City, organizing them together.
Conservatively speaking, he could obtain half a War Fighting Legion.
“Yes Monarch!” Du Ruhui nodded.
Following that, the four of them surrounded the Minnan Province map to discuss the perfect strategy.
War was not a game. Since the direction was settled, the details had to be too. If not, the whole plan might backfire.
Apart from that, the plan also needed to take into account various emergency measures. The battlefield would change quickly and any situation might happen.
Some changes could be handled by the generals on the field while some needed to be considered before the battle even began.
For example, what if the Guards Legion Corps was exposed when they passed either Longyan or Tingzhou Prefecture, or what if the Yanhuang Alliance Army teleported to Xunlong City in time?
All in all, much thought had to be put into the matter, and all the intel departments had to participate in this as well.
However, time waited for no one, and before the Military Affairs Bureau settled on a specific plan, the army had already set off. That night, the 2nd and 3rd legions of the Guards Legion Corps would leave the city through the imperial city teleportation formation to Zhenhai City. Then they would be transported by the Yizhou Squadron to Longyan Prefecture.
A battle that no one could predict was about to explode.
At this time, Xunlong Dianxue was still writing letters and scolding Xiong Ba.
