307 Frightened Bird

The whole set of economic plans for Zhangye County formulated by the Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce is basically perfect, and there are not too many loopholes.

But there are still small problems that cannot be solved.

Sword Ba explained this situation to Zhan Xiaobai.

If the members of the Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce buy a large quantity of raw materials from the villages of Zhangye County and ship them back to Wuwei at a price 10% higher than the market price, thus driving up the price of raw materials in Zhangye County, causing a sudden surge in raw materials in Zhangye County, causing the economic order to be disordered, and reducing the production capacity of products.

Raw materials in Zhangye County are scarce, and they soared by 10% overnight. Wuwei County received a large number of raw materials, and the market price fell by about 10% overnight.

This results in a reversal of about 20% or more, which is very impressive.

If there are scattered Wuwei merchant players, they are not afraid of death, and secretly reverse the "operation": buy raw materials from Wuwei County at a low price, transport them to Zhangye, and then resell them to players in the Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce in Zhangye County at a high price. Such a resale, deducting freight, bodyguards and other expenses, can still get high profits, back and forth a few times, and make a fortune.

The profits are so high, just written prohibitions, warnings, etc., can't stop some ghostly "confused" businessmen and players from running to make huge profits.

This will lead to a civil war, where their own businessmen fight their own chambers of commerce. Even players in Zhangye County may come to Wuwei County to buy cheap raw materials, pull them back to Zhangye and sell them at a high price, causing heavy losses to the Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce and shooting themselves in the foot.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhan Xiaobai decided to use the army.

Devils are "confused" and greedy for profiteering, and only violence can wake them up in the head and let them know what they can and can't do.

......

On June 20, on the border between Wuwei and Zhangye County, there were suddenly 5,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry and 1,000 well-trained Xiaobaizhen player warriors, and they established several military camps on the border, garrisoned, guarded, built fortifications, and built fences.

They did not cross the border into Zhangye County, but built a fence for more than ten miles in a narrow passage on the border line, only a section of the gate in the middle, heavily guarded, allowing players to pass, and the rest of the place was strictly forbidden for players to pass.

The player who led the army of this iron cavalry was none other than Ah Fei, the commander of the army of Xiaobai Town.

After the border fence was built, several regiment commanders such as Zhan Xiaobai, Qiushui, and Chunqiu Shaoxia came to the barracks that night to inspect the front line. Although the military tasks are heavy now, many military and political affairs within the alliance have to be dealt with. But the three giants still came to this important location together.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhan Xiaobai wore a white shirt and checked the border situation with Qiushui, Ah Fei, Spring and Autumn Shaoxia and others.

The fence is rudimentary, but it is miles long and far from the eye. Because it is too simple, the player can even flip over, so it can only prevent the gentleman and not the villain.

If it weren't for a huge and terrifying military camp nearby, as well as a large number of Xiliang Iron Cavalry riding horses and carrying longbows and arrows, cruising back and forth along the border line in groups, forming a huge force deterrent, these simple fences would have to be torn down by those players who looked uncomfortable.

Under the strong deterrence of thousands of iron cavalry, the players who came and went stared dryly, and could only honestly pass through the gate of the middle level.

A wooden sign is hung high above the gate of the checkpoint, which reads the prohibition:

"The Command of the Xiaobai Alliance issued a temporary economic ban on the war: it is forbidden to bring the following goods into Zhangye County in bulk. The list of goods includes: bows, guns, knives, swords, armor, blood medicine, body medicine, war horses, and large instruments; Herbs, iron ore, wood, stone, ....... (Hundreds of finished products, raw materials), martial law period: June 20 ~ July 20. ”

A large number of NPC soldiers and player fighters of Ah Fei's Flying Commander Legion are guarding the level, and ordinary players must open the package and check it for the players at the level before they can be released. It is not allowed to bring the above goods into Zhangye County in bulk. If you carry it, you can only sell it to the villages of Wuwei County on the spot. Even the players of the Xiaobai Alliance Chamber of Commerce are also not allowed to bring the above goods into Zhangye.

Early in the morning, there were already some ordinary players going back and forth between Zhangye and Wuwei, gathering at the gate of customs clearance, looking at the ban, discussing a lot, and being amazed. This is the first time they have encountered this kind of situation where players set up a level and check it to clear it.

There is a warrior player who is reckless and does not like to be restrained, and he argues loudly with the player guarding the level, demanding to pass directly. More than a dozen players next to him also clamored loudly, "Why check us?!" ”

An NPC military general led a group of hundreds of Xiliang iron cavalry to rumble from a distance, showing a cold and shining iron spear and a big bow, and shouted like thunder, "Who is making trouble here?" ”

The dozen or so players who wanted to make trouble immediately shrank their heads and were honest.

Among these players, many of them are merchant players, and they secretly regret that they received the news of a big operation from the Chamber of Commerce early in the morning, so they secretly purchased a batch of raw materials and wanted to transport them to Zhangye to resell, but they didn't expect that there was a checkpoint here to prevent them from carrying goods over.

The regret is still light, and soon they will be sad.

The news that the Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce went to Zhangye to buy raw materials came out, and the price of raw materials in Wuwei County began to fall generally.

Zhan Xiaobai inspected the entire border, and the border line was built perfectly, which made him satisfied. This managed border is built to make it easier to manage the behavior of merchant players, so that no merchant will secretly make trouble and "" in reverse.

"After a large number of our businessmen go to Zhangye County, how can their personal safety be guaranteed?"

"There are already some villages on the other side of the border that have joined my Little White Alliance, and they are able to send bodyguards to escort them. Merchants are mainly stationed in League Village and Friendly Village, setting up acquisition points to attract a large number of other players to sell raw materials. Then the raw materials will be transported to our side of Wuwei County. Therefore, there is a higher guarantee of personal safety. Besides, we have a large army stationed here, which may cross the border at any time, and the village opposite does not dare to attack our merchants' ideas at will. ”

"Well, that's good, and it doesn't have to send a large number of protection troops."

Dozens of them rode up a slope and looked out over the vast mountain wilderness along the border.

There are still very few people coming and going here, only a few caravans coming and going early. But I believe that in a few days, a large number of NPCs and player legions will pour into this border line to enter Zhangye County to fight.

......

Zhangye County.

The Xiaobai Alliance of Wuwei County hyped up attacking Zhangye, but there was no military movement for a long time, which made ordinary players in many villages in Zhangye County feel very puzzled.

As the saying goes, soldiers are fast, and when you send troops to fight, you must be as fast as lightning and fire, and beat the opponent down in one fell swoop. It is best if the opponent does not even have time to react, and then fights down, this is the master of war.

It is a little strange that there is such a small white alliance like this, which has been making a big fanfare for several days, clamoring to attack, but has not even seen the shadow of the army.

Oh, the shadow of the army has appeared, but it has been staying on the border side of Wuwei County, digging deep pits and building fortifications, and there is no intention of crossing the border to invade.

Those who don't know may still think that Wuwei County is a passive defensive side, not an attacking party.

The army of the Xiaobai Alliance did not make any big moves, but the caravans of the Xiaobai Alliance came to Zhangye County in large numbers to make large purchases.

The sheer number of caravans was somewhat staggering, and a caravan of 100 people would buy raw materials hoarded in one or two villages. "Milk" and "milk", the merchants of Wuwei County are rich, and it is rare to see such a large-scale caravan in Zhangye County. Such a hundred-person caravan, the Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce has at least ...... I'm afraid there are hundreds, enough to move half of Zhangye County's raw material warehouse.

Some don't understand, what is the Little White Alliance for?

Most ordinary players don't quite understand, why did the merchants of Wuwei County come all the way to Zhangye to buy raw materials? Although they don't understand, they are very happy, and the price of raw materials, which is usually very cheap, suddenly rises, which will make them a small fortune. They take out the materials in the warehouse and sell them to the players of the Little White Chamber of Commerce.

The leaders of dozens of alliance forces in Zhangye County changed their faces drastically.

They know what the little white businessmen are doing – buying raw materials on a large scale, raising the price of raw materials, and suppressing the production capacity of villages in Zhangye County. Or it is a sharp rise and fall, scraping profits.

These are just small things, and the more serious ones are the latter means.

The output of products in the villages of Wuwei County has increased greatly, and under the leadership of the Chamber of Commerce, a large number of products have been shipped to Zhangye County. The prices of commodities in the entire Zhangye County directly plummeted, and the goods produced by the villages of Zhangye County could not be sold, and they were hoarded in warehouses, and their production capacity was tragically destroyed. In the end, the production capacity of the villages in Zhangye County gradually lagged behind that of Wuwei County, and it was impossible to turn over.

This kind of bad business practice is also known as "manipulating" the market.

One of the most hateful behaviors in the game is to "" the market.

Of course, the market is not something that can be easily manipulated by just one person. Only large chambers of commerce with huge capital flows have this ability to concentrate on purchase/shipment, causing economic disruption.

Although the leaders of dozens of alliance forces in Zhangye County have the intention to resist the malicious behavior of the Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce. However, without unified action, it is simply impossible to withstand such an invasion.

They can control the interior of their own alliance villages, ordering that a raw material cannot be sold to the White Chamber of Commerce, but they cannot control the sale of other alliances.

These alliances forcibly restricted the sale of these raw materials, and some other alliances restricted the sale of other raw materials, which eventually led to a chaotic market in the entire Zhangye County, like boiling porridge, and all kinds of goods blindly "chaotic" without control.

When the pot of "porridge" in Zhangye County boiled and achieved the purpose of destroying the economic order, that is, it was time for the Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce to withdraw from Zhangye County and the alliance to march into the army in a big way.

The leaders of the various alliance forces and the village chiefs of each village had too much thought in their minds, and they were a little frightened, anxiously waiting for the next move of the Xiaobai Alliance. This kind of waiting is simply tormenting. Instead, they hoped that the Xiaobai Alliance would immediately attack Zhangye City's horse play army, so that they could immediately come up with a result.

......

On the border side of Wuwei County, on the hillside, Zhan Xiaobai and more than a dozen other people looked at Zhangye County, which was far away across the border. You can only see more than ten miles here. It is still very far away from Zhangye City.

Ah Fei asked with some eagerness: "Big brother, when will we be able to march to Zhangye County?" ”

Zhan Xiaobai smiled: "What are you anxious about? It will take some days for our army to be put in order, and when it is in order, it will naturally march into the army. ”

Ah Fei scratched his head and said with a stupid smile: "It's not that I'm in a hurry, I'm just afraid that this matter will drag on for too long, but I'm afraid that the villages in Zhangye County are ready to resist." There's no way we're going to give them a surprise military operation. It's hard, and the loss is big. ”

"Raid?"

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Our goal is to capture Zhangye City, not to raid those player villages. Zhangye City is in the hands of Ma Wan, and Ma Yu is also a historical-level general, who can only rely on strength, and cannot take the city with simple tactics of surprise attacks. Therefore, whether this military operation has the military effect of a surprise attack or not is not the most important. ”

Ah Fei was a little puzzled and asked, "Big brother, the raid is not the most important, so what is important?" ”

Zhan Xiaobai said: "The raid is just a tactical use, if you are lucky, you can succeed, or you may unexpectedly fail." Zhangye County's geography and power are complex, and it is easy to be trapped. After Dong Zhuo defeated Han Sui, he pursued into Jincheng and was surrounded by the Qiang army. The accidental "sex" of the raid is too great to be pinned on it. The most important thing is that the whole overall situation is in your own hands, and this battle can be fought as you want. ”

Qiushui smiled: "I agree with Big Brother Bai's strategy. Before the war, to economically undermine their ability to continue fighting. It is not necessarily a bad thing for our army to lead and fail to provoke before it is ready. On the contrary, it can cause strong mental pressure on the players of Zhangye County, and for a long time, they will become frightened birds, and then they will be defeated in one fell swoop. ”

The Spring and Autumn Young Heroes, who followed behind, were very surprised when they heard this: "Psychological tactics? Wouldn't it, even that? ”

Qiu Shui said: "This kind of big war is rare, and all kinds of tactics are naturally used to test the effect." ”

Zhan Xiaobai said with a smile: "I didn't expect Qiushui to also start to master the psychological behavior of the opponent. Yes, the enemy who is in a weak position will not see the opponent's move, but will fall into great anxiety and easily become a frightened bird. ”

He pointed to the direction of Zhangye County in the distance and said, "We are facing Zhangye County, but I am afraid that there are already a lot of frightened birds, just waiting for us to draw the bowstring." 'Bang'. Hey! ”
