Chapter 1083, Untitled
The Northern Expedition Alliance is an alliance organization formed by the great guilds of Huaxia and the warlord forces of players.
When this alliance organization was first established, because of the large number of soldiers and the vast territory, the forces of the Huaxia District Guild represented by Ye Ziqing, Dongfang Ming and others firmly controlled the discourse power of the Northern Expedition Alliance, and within the Northern Expedition Alliance, they basically said the same.
However, after the Condor Army successively conquered Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other regions, the major guilds in Huaxia represented by Yanyulou suddenly became a regime in exile.
After losing their own territory, they can only live in the territory of other players of the Northern Expedition Alliance.
Without land, it means that they have no foundation.
And after they have no foundation, they can't even speak as hard as before.
At this time, the representatives of the two player warlords, who were the head snakes of Hubei, took advantage of the situation to stand out and occupied a certain right to speak in the Northern Expedition Alliance.
These two player warlord forces are Xiao Li Tang and Xiao Zhao Song.
As close associates, Li Yufeng, the emperor of Xiao Li Tang, and Zhao Guangfu, the emperor of Xiao Zhao and Song, were responsible for guarding Xiangyang City, the gateway to the north of Hubei, and the other was responsible for guarding the defense line of the Lujiang River on the north bank of the Yangtze River and southeast of Dabie Mountain.
When Ye Ziqing, Dongfang Ming and others led the player corps of the Northern Expedition Alliance to climb the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to fight a decisive battle with Ningyuan's Tenglong Army, Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu did not join in the excitement, they chose to stay in their lair and watch the wind and clouds.
One of them is in Xiangyang and the other is in Jingzhou, and in addition to dealing with some official affairs on the territory every day, they will stay in their rooms most of the time to watch the live broadcast on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
Regarding the life and death of the Northern Expedition Alliance and the Tenglong Army, Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu were both watching with the mentality of watching the excitement.
In their hearts, the situation they most want to see is that it is better for the two warring sides to continue to fight like this, for four or five years in a row, and then it is best to be able to fight a lose-lose situation that hurts both sides and hurts the muscles and bones.
Although the two of them were also important members of the Northern Expedition Alliance, they were the ones who did not want to see the battle of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau end early, and they were also the people who did not want to see a victor appear.
As player warlords, Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu are also ambitious people like Ning Yuan, which can be seen from the names they gave to the countries they had established.
The Tang Dynasty, also known as Li Tang by later generations, was a very powerful multi-ethnic regime in ancient China, and its military victories were simply terrifying.
If you don't agree with each other and destroy the country at every turn, you are talking about the Tang Dynasty, which is strong and martial.
After Li Yufeng obtained the production process of Tang Mingguang armor and Mo Dao, and trained the Xuanjia cavalry that terrified the enemy, he began to regard himself as Li Tang's descendant, in a vain attempt to restore the former majesty of the Tang Dynasty in the game.
As for Zhao Guangfu, although the reputation of the Song Dynasty was not very good, the Jingsai Army in the Northern Song Dynasty still had strong strength, so after obtaining the manufacturing process of the Divine Arm Bow and the Foot Armor, he still played the banner of the descendants of the Northern Song Dynasty and joined the competition for hegemony.
After getting acquainted with Li Yufeng, the two quickly became good friends in reality, so they agreed to compete for world dominance together.
In the game, the player is a very important force, and if you want to dominate the world, you can't do without the addition of the player's power.
Even the once invincible Condor Empire, no matter how strong Ning Yuan was before, in the end he still had to open the door to the players.
Therefore, Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu, who had seen this clearly for a long time, played the banner of Li Tang and Zhao Song early, which was used to attract Tang fans and Song fans among some players to join.
In the beginning, the players were not interested in the country that the two had built, as they were at best a mountain king in a corner.
What Datang and Da Song are just means for them to fool people by taking advantage of the heat.
However, as Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu eliminated the back path of the Huaxia Coalition when the Great Guilds of China formed a coalition to defeat the Ten Thousand Beast Empire, and quickly occupied the entire territory of Hubei, the players' perception of them immediately changed.
Although after that, the players named them Xiao Li Tang and Xiao Zhao Song, this small word does not mean to belittle them, but in disguise acknowledges that they are qualified to inherit the mantle of Li Tang and Zhao Song in the game.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, unless there is one male and one female.
It stands to reason that Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu are both ambitious people, they both want to establish a strong dynasty, and the two should not be able to coexist for a long time, after all, the side of the couch does not allow others to snore, and a strong dynasty can only have one at the same time and in the same region.
But because the two have become good friends in reality, they have made this impossible possible in the game.
After backstabbing those big guilds in Huaxia and severely damaging the elite coalition army they had so hard to assemble, Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu became the sworn enemies of the big guilds in Huaxia led by Ye Ziqing, Dongfang Ming and others.
In order to prevent Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu from becoming the second Ning Yuan in Huaxia District, and also to warn others and kill chickens to show monkeys, Ye Ziqing and others immediately listed Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu as the number one thorn in their eyes, vowing to uproot their forces.
However, because after being stabbed in the back, their elite troops were all lost in the war with the Ten Thousand Beast Empire, so in the face of the fledgling Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu, they were more than willing to do it.
After no army could defeat the armies of Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu head-on, Ye Ziqing and the others decided to play a trick to draw salaries.
They took advantage of the fact that Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu recruited a large number of Tang fans and Song fans, and planted a large number of player spies into the player army formed by the two, hoping to wait until the day when they recovered in the future, and the inside and outside should cooperate to destroy the forces formed by the two in one fell swoop.
Being able to backstab the coalition formed by those big guilds in Huaxia District, Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu are obviously not very good at it, and they know very well that when recruiting players, there will definitely be a large number of player spies who will take the opportunity to sneak in.
In order to get rid of the player spies who sneak in, the two will often come up with bizarre quests for the players to complete.
Those missions are basically to go to the territory of those big guilds to sabotage, assassinate and the like, so as long as it is not the kind of spy who is very hidden, they can easily find out.
In this way, Li Yufeng, Ye Ziqing and others slowly accumulated strength, while fighting wits and courage with each other, waiting for the upcoming battle.
However, before they could fight, Ning Yuan returned from the Lost Continent, and then immediately joined the battle for power over the Silver Star Elf Empire in a high-profile manner.
After seeing that the Silver Star Alliance was vulnerable in the face of the Condor Army and could not stop the Condor Army's westward advance at all, Ye Ziqing and the others immediately realized that the Condor Empire was their current number one enemy.
If the Condor Army that fought out of Shanhaiguan cannot be driven back to the Northeast Region, then the entire Central Plains region will face the iron hooves of the Condor Army.
So they immediately gave up the idea of continuing to deal with Li Yufeng, formed the Northern Expedition Alliance, and began to deal with the number one enemy of the Condor Empire with all their might.
At the beginning, Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu did not join the Northern Expedition Alliance, no matter how they fought and killed those big guilds for so many years, it was not so easy to turn hostility into friendship.
However, with the unstoppable Condor Army, the armies of the Silver Star Alliance and Yanyulou were defeated by the Condor Army one after another, and after the Condor Empire showed the momentum and determination to swallow the world, they could no longer care about the grievances with Ye Ziqing and others.
When Ye Ziqing sent someone to contact them again, they directly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and joined the Northern Expedition Alliance to fight against the ambitious Condor Empire together with other Chinese forces.
Although Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu joined the Northern Expedition Alliance, they did not really settle their previous suspicions with Ye Ziqing and others.
It was only because Ning Yuan's Condor Empire was too powerful and had threatened the safety of all the player forces in Huaxia that they had to choose to join the Northern Expedition Alliance and join forces with Ye Ziqing and others to deal with Ning Yuan.
However, people are selfish after all, and in the face of the powerful Condor Army, no one is willing to send their elite at the bottom of the box to fight against the Condor Army.
Before the Condor Empire was defeated, people had already thought about how they would snatch the fruits of victory and expand their territory after the Condor Empire was defeated.
It is precisely because of this mutual jealousy between the player forces that everyone is unwilling to send their elite legions to fight against the Condor Army, so the Northern Expedition Alliance's army north of the Yellow River will seem so vulnerable.
As for the elite armies such as the Xuanjia Cavalry, the Divine Arm Army, the Iron Harrier and the Iron Floating Tu that appeared last time, they jointly attacked the orc army of the Great Stone Kingdom.
The reason why they are willing to send elite troops into battle is simply because they feel the urgency of death.
Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu had their roots in Hubei, which is bordered by the Dabie Mountains to the east and Henan to the northeast.
For the two who have joined the Northern Expedition Alliance, Henan is the natural barrier of Hubei, and once Henan is lost, then Hubei will face the orc army of the Dashi Kingdom.
Therefore, in order to avoid the Hubei region located in the rear from falling into war, they could only send their own elite troops to besiege the orc army of the Dashi Kingdom.
After defeating the orc army that invaded Henan and resolving the crisis, they immediately sprouted their old ways and hid their elite army again.
Although Ye Ziqing hated Li Yufeng very much for the selfishness of these player warlords, after Li Yufeng and the others hugged him tightly, he had no way to take everyone, so he could only acquiesce to the hidden behavior of Li Yufeng and others.
After knowing that Li Yufeng, these player warlords, could not be relied on until the time of emergency, Ye Ziqing, Dongfang Ming and others could only vigorously develop the player army.
When the Condor Army invaded the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the Northern Expedition Alliance sent a large number of player legions to support the Yungui Plateau in order to support the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, while player warlords such as Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu only symbolically sent a player legion under their command to help.
When the Condor Army opened up the second battlefield in Hekou County and the situation on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau became extremely critical, Ye Ziqing and others went to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in person to preside over the overall situation, while Li Yufeng, Zhao Guangfu and others coincidentally chose to stay in their lair.
Although they were nominally to prevent a surprise attack by the Condor Army after they left, people would know who they were defending against as long as they weren't stupid.
However, just when everyone thought that the inland area of Hubei, which was located north of the Yangtze River, could not be attacked by the Condor Army, Ning Yuan, who was supposed to stay on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, suddenly appeared in the Hubei region and personally led a large flying army, which suddenly made Li Yufeng, who got the news, a little overwhelmed.
After receiving the report from the messenger who escaped from Nanzhang County, Li Yufeng suddenly became smart, and he sat there for a while before gradually digesting the bad news.
After taking a few deep breaths in a row, Li Yufeng commanded with a solemn face: "Come on, immediately send someone to Zhuxi County to inquire about the information and see if it has been attacked by the Condor Army."
Send another team of messengers to Jingzhou, tell Zhao Guangfu the news we have here, and let him be on guard, I have a hunch that this time the Condor Army is not like playing false. ”
After digesting the news of the loss of Nanzhang County, with his keen intuition, Li Yufeng's first reaction was that the Condor Army was going to attack Hubei from Hanzhong and give them an intermediate flower.
At present, the border areas bordering the Condor Army and the Northern Expeditionary Alliance are only Tongguan, Hanguguan, Wuguan, Pingli, Zhuxi counties and the waters of Wushan on the Yangtze River.
The Condor Army occupies Tongguan, and the Northern Expedition Alliance occupies Hangu Pass, facing these two Xiong Passes, neither of us nor the enemy can eat each other in a short time.
On the Wuguan side, although the Condor Army occupies the advantage of Xiongguan, the Northern Expedition Alliance has also deployed heavy troops in Shangnan County, and built a pass against the mountain, and it is not so easy for the Condor Army to capture Shangnan County, which is heavily guarded by the Northern Expedition Alliance.
And in the Shangyong Passage where Pingli County and Zhuxi County are confronted, it is not so easy for the Condor Army to capture Zhuxi County head-on.
As for the last Wushan waters of the Yangtze River, even if the Condor Army can force a landing, in the absence of sufficient backup, they will soon be driven back to the Yangtze River by Zhao Guangfu's Xiao Zhao Song army, which supported the past.
Originally, in these four border areas bordering the enemy and us, no matter which path the Condor Army chooses, it will be difficult for them to achieve the desired results.
However, after Ning Yuan personally led the army to occupy Nanzhang County, Pingli County and Zhuxi County, which are located in the Shangyong Passage, had the biggest variable.
