Chapter 403: It's still the insidious nature of you research

"I'm really going to have a Corell version of Wei Wei to save Zhao...," Levi couldn't help but wonder when he heard this.

Levi had never underestimated the IQ of the natives of this world, so he was not too surprised that Kelburn had come up with such a 'change of home' strategy considering the overall weakness of the coastal city-states in terms of naval warfare.

Anyway, it's not their 'home'.

In fact, Levi had this idea the first time he heard about Luskander's attack on Lunais Island, but the problem was... He's not very optimistic about it...

The biggest reason is that in Li Wei's already somewhat vague memory of Lanxing, even if he really encircled Wei to save Zhao, in terms of actual strategic goals, it was actually a failure.

On the surface, Sun Bin, the commander of the Qi State, successfully defeated the Wei army that returned to the reinforcements, captured his dead concubine Pang Juan, and successfully took revenge, which seemed to be a perfect victory of the strategy.

But in the real historical results, it is not so perfect:

When the Qi army besieged Daliang, the Wei army had already broken through Handan of Zhao and successfully completed its military goals, and when it heard that Qi besieged Daliang and Wei commander Pang Juan led the army back to help, he did not withdraw all Wei troops from Handan as imagined in Qi's plan, but only a small part of them.

Judging from the results of the battle, the siege of Wei to save Zhao failed to defeat the main force of the Wei army, the Qi State did not officially attack the Liang of Wei, and the capital of Zhao State, Handan, was still occupied by the enemy.

No, it seems that even Pang Juan was returned to Wei in the mediation afterwards and is still the general appointed by Wei...

Even in the Three Kingdoms, which Li Wei was more familiar with, Yuan Shao used a similar strategy against Cao Cao in the stalemate Battle of Guandu, which also ended in failure.

If we look at the situation today, we will find that there are indeed some similarities.

If the Kendic dynasty of Moonshadow could hold on instead of being crushed by Luskander, Levi might still be inclined to use this plan, but the problem is that Moon Shadow Island can't bear it at all before the absolute power gap.

And the facts also proved Livy's guess:

The Iron Castle was defeated by Luskan in three days!

At this point, Luskan is now like Wei in another world, and has completed its most important strategic goal, even if he hears that his backyard is on fire, most of them will not give up the results they have already achieved with the habit of starting with those pirates.

There's another problem...

Don't look at what Kelburn said, when it was really time for them to send troops from Jishui City to expedition to Luskan, it was estimated that it was no different from constipation, and it was already considered his 'humble heart' to be able to squeeze out a lump.

In addition to the high mountains and long roads, whether it is the city of Jishui, the city of Silvermoon, or their Minas of Zelandia, if they want to attack Luskan from the mainland, they must pass through the Sentry Cliff and the Miral River.

What is that place?

It is an extension of the Neverwinter Mountains, a hilly peak raised by a large area of limestone, from which the Mirabah dwarves are said to have originated.

However, after the Miraba dwarves dug up the minerals there, they abandoned them without any hesitation, leaving countless cavities like worm tunnels, which became the natural nests of some monsters.

From goblins and goblins, to gnolls and golems, it seems to produce nothing but stone, but it is almost the most complete 'monster guide' in the entire Northlands.

In that complex mountain section, there was only one narrow and rugged valley for horse-drawn carriages to pass through.

As a result, it has become almost the most notorious bandit den in the entire Northland.

Nowadays, who wants to go there without anything, except for the merchants who have to hire a lot of adventurers at a time and the drows who are engaged in surface smuggling.

Levi was sure that as long as they joined forces here, Luskan would definitely send a large army to block the entire outpost as soon as possible, and the defensive effect was comparable to that of the 'Tiger Prison Pass'.

Even more malicious, I'm afraid I don't need to send many main forces, just beat gongs and drums at the sentry cliff post, and say to those monsters that as long as you help them defend the sentry cliff post and manage one meal a day, it is estimated that you can immediately pull up a monster army of thousands of people...

"Shhhh Got it, let's talk about it when they come tomorrow, and now there's a trickier matter at hand, and I need to refer to your opinion. ”

Levi rubbed his head with a headache and asked.

It was the first time that Igg, who had heard the word 'tricky' from Levi's mouth, couldn't help but get up, put down the pen and paper in his hand, cast a perceptual shield around the three of them, and said respectfully:

"That's my pleasure. ”

After motioning for Eagle and Fischer behind him to sit down, Levi talked about his plan to cooperate with 'Jeanie Saar' to realize the 'South-Exit and North-Migration' in Karinsan, hoping that Iggy would assess the risks and benefits behind this matter as a Nethrel Scholar-type mage.

Tiamat's sudden appearance and covetousness did make him feel like a cow, but Karinsan's population did make him salivate, which put him in a dilemma.

Compared to the lack of gods today, the mages of Netheril's time undoubtedly knew more about the gods, and perhaps knew some secrets that they didn't know.

As a result, Iger's first sentence was actually "My original inclination, and some objections, were to start a war against Luskan itself, so now it seems that Tiberius is right for you to do so, and the war against Luskan is imperative." ”

Levi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in his heart when he approved of Kelburn's bad idea...

I heard Eagle continue: "In terms of the entire Corer Continent, except for the Eastern Continent, which has always been not very peaceful, and Karinshan, who is constantly in turmoil, there has not been a substantial large-scale war for a long time, especially in the Northland.

And every war is a chessboard for gods to sow faith, and it is also a feast for dividing souls with the lower planes.

"The sudden outbreak of such a war in the Northland, which has been quiet for nearly a century, is bound to attract the attention of many gods.

"According to the speculation of the Grand Arcanists, the gods should have maintained an agreement or tacit agreement between the gods since the war of the main matter, or tacit understanding, that they would not interfere with the main material plane again, so as to avoid the war of the main matter plane escalating to the god war again in the short term. ”

"So if I'm not mistaken, Lord Tiberius, you must be planning to use this war to justifiably contain Luscan's expansion in the Isle of Moonshadow and increase his future voice in the Northlands and even Sword Bay, and on the other hand, to put yourself under the watchful eye of the gods, so that Tiamat can temporarily press down on your thoughts, right?"

After Iger's analysis, not only did Fischer look at Levi's gaze instantly 'look up to the mountains', but even Levi himself was stunned...

'What? No, did I think so?'

"Well, yes, that's what I thought about. ”

Levi glanced approvingly at one of his chief henchmen, Ig, and said 'admitted' without blushing or beating his heart.

He thought about it carefully, but he had to admit that this idea was indeed the right solution to break the game!

Tiamat is indeed an extremely powerful god, but on the surface it is still only a god with weak divine power, especially a god whose kingdom is located in the Hell of Bato, a god who belongs to the five-colored dragon.

Now that a human war has broken out on the Northland Continent, why did you, a dragon god who had long since withdrawn from the center of the stage of history, run to the main material plane with great fanfare to join in the fun?

Don't you see that we righteous gods are still cheerleaders in the audience shouting '666'?

This is equivalent to although I accidentally offended a certain eldest sister of Hedao, and once I was threatened by the other party's video voice, I also slapped her in the face, so the other party held a grudge and threatened to kill your whole family.

But now that he has got a ticket to the LPL tournament that has attracted worldwide attention, and has become a contestant who has been watched by countless people to win glory for the country under the spotlight, does the other party dare to come to the arena with a knife so openly to make trouble for himself?

Even if his eyes are red, he still has to wait for a while, at least until he finishes this game.

His identity is as wonderful as he is obviously a dragon, but he is the lord of a pan-human city-state.

You may be able to secretly trouble me, or even hire a killer to assassinate me, but you don't dare to bring your little brother to the office building to smash my company and kill my employees.

Standing on Tiamat's force field like this, he thinks, hey, I'm so angry!

Naturally, Eagle had no doubt about Levi's 'wisdom', and immediately exclaimed:

"I have to say that Tiberius is indeed a torch of vision, and thinks more about the long term than I have waited.

"With our established 'World Factory' development model in Zeelandia, we can rely on the leading technology and the export of products to continuously exchange all kinds of resources from the entire Corer continent.

"And the only thing that can't keep up at the moment is the population.

"With population, you have everything.

"And this plan is equivalent to filling the biggest shortcoming in our future development plan for Zeelandia.

"In the future, when we expand to the limit in the Northland, we can stop the population migration and directly support 'Jenny Saar' as our agent in Karinshan, and directly relocate some relatively low-tech, labor-intensive industrial chains to Karinshan in the south, so as to save a lot of transportation costs for exporting goods to the south. ”

When Li Wei heard this, he seemed to recall the memory of Lan Xing again, and couldn't help sighing:

"That's at least 50 or even 100 years from now, so let's think about the present. ”

In another world, this process of industrialization has lasted for more than two centuries, and I don't know what kind of trajectory will be drawn in this magical and magical world.

Eagle suddenly woke up and pulled the topic back:

"Then, as a set policy for the next 50 years, there are only two problems left in this plan of 'moving from the south to the north'. ”

That is how to effectively clamp down on Luskan, and how to successfully develop an outpost in Karinshan and gain a foothold.

After a pause, Iggy was about to ask, 'Tiberius seems to have some concerns about Kelborne's plan to besiege Luskan proper?'

But thinking that since Levi had said that he would talk about it when the three parties met tomorrow, he pressed the table and mentioned Karinshan instead:

"It's about sending troops to Karinsan... I don't think it's a big deal. ”

Levi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ig.

Originally, according to his idea, if he did this, he would almost definitely be attacked by Karinsan on a large scale, so he was only prepared to disguise himself as a member of the Jeanie Saar rebel in the form of 'elite smuggling'.

Although this is suspected of covering up his ears and stealing the bell, as long as he is shameless enough, Karinshan's group of local chickens and dogs Pasha actually don't have much to do with him.

It's just that looking at Eagle now, he seems to have a better idea?

Even Fisher on the side couldn't help but stare at this thoughtful scholar-type mage, taking good notes.

Seeing Eagle talk eloquently, "Luskan has taken the liberty of setting off the Moon Sea War, touching not only the interests of our three city-states of Zelandia, Silvermoon City and Jishui City, but the interests of all the coastal city-states of the Western Continent. ”

Levi finally thought of something, his pupils narrowed slightly, and said, "You mean..."

The corners of Iggy's mouth sank slightly: "That's right, we Zelandia can use the letter of help from the Kendic royal family of the Moonshadow Islands to advocate to all the coastal city-states of the Western Continent to jointly resist Luscan's crime of invading the Moonshadow Islands and disrupting the order of the entire north-south route, and launch a joint combat alliance of the coastal city-states to become a community that advances and retreats together." ”

"But a city-state as far away as Karinsan, even if they agreed, they wouldn't have much to contribute?" Fischer on the side still didn't have the idea to get to Iggy.

Eagle glanced at him lightly and said, "It's precisely because they can enjoy part of the post-war fruits with the help of this name with almost no need to pay, so... This joint combat alliance, they will almost certainly sign.

"Since it's a joint combat alliance, it's not too much for us to use Karinshan or Manon Harbor as a springboard to reinforce the Moonshadow Islands from the southern seas and support the Kendik exile regime in the war of resistance, right?"

"I'll do it!" Fisher, who finally came over suddenly, was directly stupid, and said in his heart, isn't this too much? Insidious.

Only then did Eagle look at Levi, who had a look of 'we really wanted to go together':

"At that time, we can send troops to Karinsan, and we can even destroy the slave traders of the Redon Federation, and then issue a notice that when we pass by the Karin River, we find that Janice Sal has slaughtered the 'merchants' of the Redon Federation, and we will easily deal with the rebels.

"In this way, we don't have to openly oppose all the forces of Karinsan, and Jeanie Saar's 'bloody death' must also arouse the consciousness of resistance of some of the exiled people, and a steady stream of them will join in.

"As for their misunderstandings, don't worry too much about them, 'Jenny Sal' and they will take the initiative to explain it to us.

"And when they get to the Northland, a peaceful life will soon make them aware of this... Firmly believe. ”

"Very well, that's it. Levi immediately clapped his head.

If it weren't for the fact that this was Corell, Levi would have liked it, and Iggy would have been a dragon and phoenix.

Eagle said: "The only thing I have some concerns about is the primeval blue dragon that awakens once in a hundred years, 'Sharp Tooth' Ivy Korazagrand. I've researched some information about her, and since the death of Chaun VII, she has been in the Three Kingdoms of the South... There is no rival left. ”

Talking about the legendary female dragon, Levi couldn't help but sigh:

"yes, she's so powerful, sometimes I even think that if only Shane VII could come back to life... I don't have to have that much headache, hey. ”
