Qin State, the royal city of Xianyang. Xianyang City is located in the north of Weishui, the hinterland of the Qinchuan River for 800 miles, and it is also the first key point in the Central Plains to the Great Northwest, and the first road to Central Asia from Route 6.

At this time, on the Weishui River, a large luxury cruise ship is moored. A plainclothes woman was standing next to the side of the ship, silent, staring at the pickaxe capital on the other side. Behind her stood dozens of male and female player generals in mighty armor.

This group of them is the leader and core members of the "Tianxia Alliance", the strongest player force organization in the Qin State.

However, none of them had the heart to visit the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river now, and they were all thinking in their hearts, now was the period of the Qin State's southern expedition and northern war, why did the eldest sister suddenly summon them to this place today.

"It took us half a year to bring the 800-mile Qinchuan into our sphere of influence, from Xianyang to Tianshui, from Tianshui to Wuwei, from Wuwei to Zhangye, from Zhangye to Jiuquan, from Jiuquan to Urumqi, from Urumqi to Ili and Kashgar. The entire northwest of China, within the territory of the Qin State, is full of the cities of our Tianxia Alliance, or the cities of our Tianxia Alliance's allies. But on the other side of the Weishui River, just a few miles from Xianyang, we never set foot on it. Do you know why? ”

The woman didn't look back, but asked the people behind her lightly.

A woman dressed in light armor immediately stood up from the crowd and said, "Sister Qing, the other side of the Wei River is the territory of the Wei State, and the capital city of Ho is the city of Zhou Tianzi. The center of the entire Great Circumference,. If we cross the Weishui to expand our power, it is very easy to lead to a large-scale conflict between the Qin and Wei players. It then escalated into an internal war between the nine vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty, which was very disadvantageous to Chinese players. After all, there are other strong enemies around us, and once we fall into a civil war, foreign enemies are likely to take advantage of it. When the eldest sister did this, she naturally focused on the overall situation and the safety of the entire Zhou Dynasty. ”

The plain woman nodded and said with a light smile, "Yes, although there is no explicit rule." It is not allowed to start vassal wars. However, most of the powerful player forces of our nine vassal states have tacitly abided by the rule of not crossing the border, and only expand within their own vassal states, and do not expand their territory in other vassal states. Our Xianyang Wangcheng and Haojing, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, are only separated by a Wei River and a distance of more than ten kilometers, but they do not belong to us.

A male player general was a little unconvinced: "It's only more than ten miles away, as long as you get on the opposite bank, you can arrive at a fast horse galloping for a while." I think Sister Qing is too cautious, even if our territory of influence has crossed the other side of the river. What can others do with us? There are only three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Bashu around our Great Qin Land.

Bashu is far away in Sichuan, and he has no interest in this place at all, and will not compete with us. The Wei state was in the heart of the entire Zhou Dynasty, but its strength was not very strong. The power of Zhao is far away in Taiyuan in the north, and it is beyond the reach of this whip. Only we are the strongest, and Xianyang is the closest to Hojing. Even if our forces control a large area of Hokyung, no one will dare to say anything. Mastering the national capital of Hojing and Zhou Tianzi will be very beneficial to our Tianxia Alliance to dominate the whole of China. ”

The words of this player general resonated with many core members of the World Alliance present. Many of them had long wanted to expand to the other side, but there was no order. Moreover, he has been busy carrying out expansion operations in other parts of the Qin State, and has never been able to carry out this wish without authorization. Now their forces have spread to all regions of Great Qin, and even some of them have penetrated deep into Siberia, and now they suddenly turned around and stood on this Weishui by boat. But they were stunned to appear next to them, and the other side of Xianyang City, ten miles away, did not belong to them at all. Naturally, this caused them a strange sense of frustration.

The plain woman was noncommittal and said another thing: "I just received a message yesterday that the Yan State has officially implemented the monarchy centralized system, centralizing all the city-states to King Yan Zhao, and becoming the first vassal state to begin to move towards a feudal dynasty. ”

Everyone was stunned.

"The next step after the centralization of power is the implementation of the monarchy. Does King Yan Zhao want to be the emperor? ”

"No, if King Yan Zhao is the emperor, then what is Zhou Tianzi? It can be regarded as the king of King Yan Zhao. Or is it a courtier of King Yan Zhao? The monarch of the other eight princes of the nine princely states. And what? Is it an equal, or is it also a courtier? ”

Some of them are quick-witted. Already shocked, it seems that something was premonited.

Once King Yan Zhao implemented the imperial system, it was equivalent to declaring war with the other eight princes and kings at the same time. It is impossible for any dynasty, with only one and only one emperor, to exist more than two at the same time. The other NPC princes and kings will all be ministers. But the eight princes are each strong, who wants to be a minister? Once King Yan Zhao proclaimed himself emperor, the Zhou Dynasty would fall into a tragic civil war and enter the Warring States Period in which the nine princes competed for power.

The plain woman shook her head and said, "The important thing is not what King Yan Zhao wants to do, but what the Zhou Shui Alliance wants to do." The Zhoushui Alliance is the first player power organization of the Yan Kingdom, dominating the entire lower reaches of the Yellow River, North China, Northeast China, and the Bohai Sea, controlling the Korean Peninsula, and recently taking the vast land of the Russian Far East Principality, and its power has extended to the west coast of the Pacific Ocean and occupied the castle of Vladivostok.

Although the territory of our Tianxia Alliance is far greater than that of the Zhoushui Alliance, most of the areas under our control are relatively barren, and the land and grain production are not high. The Zhoushui Alliance has the fertile North China Plain, the safe inland sea and maritime trade is extremely prosperous, and the Northeast and Far East have almost endless mineral resources, and the Zhoushui Alliance's food, financial resources, and production capacity are far above our Tianxia Alliance. In terms of strength, we are a big step behind the Zhoushui Alliance.

But the Zhoushui Alliance did not stop there, just after the battle of the Russian Far Eastern Principality, they continued to dominate the Korean and Japanese wars at the same time, while starting the reform of the monarchy of the Yan Kingdom, all the city-states centralized power in the NPC monarch - this is actually very beneficial to the Zhoushui Alliance, as long as the King of Yan Zhao is convinced, the Zhoushui Alliance can do anything in the territory of the Yan Kingdom. You say, the centralization of monarchy has been completed under the Zhoushui Alliance, what should you do in one step? ”

The crowd was so shocked that they couldn't say a word.

"Inside"

There was a player general who could no longer speak after only one word, and only felt that his throat was extremely dry and difficult to speak.

They are all well aware.

After the "inside", there is the "war".

It's just two words, but it weighs more than a thousand catties.

Although the Tianxia Alliance dominates the Great Qin State, its power in the northwest is unmatched, and it does not hesitate to send troops to Siberia and the Russian Principality of Siberia to start a national war, but for these two words, they are still afraid to avoid them.

The war between the Tianxia Alliance and the Russian Principality of Siberia was just a large-scale war with millions of troops, and the cost of money and food was within the tolerance of Qin's national strength. But the civil war was the nine major vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty, and it was a level war, and once it started, it was common for tens of millions of NPC soldiers to die. A war of this magnitude is enough to exhaust the troops, food and financial resources of the entire nine vassal states.

Although the Tianxia Alliance was dominant in Qin, one of the nine major vassal states, it did not dare to think about starting a civil war. In the entire Zhou Dynasty, there were no less than nine families whose strength was close to that of the Tianxia Alliance, and there were no less than dozens of families whose strength was slightly inferior. If it is really defeated, it is difficult to say whether the Tianxia Alliance will survive to the end.

Not only the Tianxia Alliance, but also the player power organization of any vassal state, no one dares to guarantee that they will be able to survive to the end. The beginning and end of the civil war of the nine vassal states is not something that can be decided by a single person or an organization. The sooner the head rises, the more it dies.

The hardline militants in the Commonwealth would rather go to war with the Russian Principality of Siberia than mention the word civil war.

Seeing that everyone couldn't say a word, the plain woman couldn't help but sigh slightly.

She knew very well in her heart that although Xianyang and Haojing were only separated by a river, more than ten miles away. However, the forces of the Tianxia Alliance have not set a foothold, not because their forces are not strong enough, nor because their strength is not enough, but because of political reasons.

The nine major vassal states were not satisfied, and only Zhou Tianzi mediated. Hokyo is the common territory of the players of the nine vassal states, and no single power can seize it. Otherwise, there will be great disaster.

She is also well aware. The Yan State entered the stage of monarchical centralization, which was not so much the intention of the Zhoushui Alliance, but the intention of Xiaobai. But what exactly does Xiaobai want to do? She didn't believe that Xiaobai would start a war between the princes.

However, Xiaobai's purpose in doing this is to definitely do something.
