"Nameless has done a good job of properly handling it, the player base of Jicheng is not so easy to deal with the bandit players of the Zhiguo, it can be solved with powerlessness, and there must not be any impulsive actions now."

Qin Xiaobai said calmly, "The power of hundreds of thousands of players in Jicheng is very huge, let's first cool down and reduce the smell of gunpowder." As long as the player forces in Jicheng don't feel the threat from our Zhoushui Walled City, then their vigilance will naturally be lowered, and they will not join forces to clash with us, but refocus on their internal interest struggles. In this way, we can calmly intervene in the circle of influence of players in Jicheng. Here are two things you need to do:

1. Keep a low profile. We will no longer organize large-scale caravans of thousands of people to Jicheng, so as not to overstimulate the player's circle of influence in Jicheng and be squeezed out by them. Of course, our merchants also try not to act alone to avoid being maliciously attacked, but to act in small groups of dozens of caravans, which is better. 2. Infiltration. Cultivate our own forces in Jicheng, support some agents, and avoid becoming the target of Jicheng players' forces.

If these two points are done well, you can avoid a direct conflict with the player power circle in Jicheng for the time being. For the rest, let's play with them slowly. I'm trying to see if they will be united by a certain force first, or if we will infiltrate them first. Destroy the possibility of them joining forces. As long as they can't join forces, we have plenty of time to break through each of them, and we don't rush for a while.

That's basically all for my opinion, if our alliance chamber of commerce has other ideas and ideas, they can be supplemented and implemented as a unified strategy to defeat Jicheng's competitors. Once these strategies have been formulated, they will be implemented by the chambers of commerce within the alliance, and there is no need to hold separate representative meetings for this purpose. ”

The sheep wrote it down, nodded and said, "Big brother, we want to support the agent in Jicheng." The difficulty should not be too high, and the player forces there are very complex. Some new player forces may rise at any time, and it is difficult for others to track them down. Our goods are transported on a small scale every day. Through agent sales, it is completely able to cover people's eyes and ears. ”

Qin Xiaobai looked at the animal skin map for a while, the problem of Bohai Walled City and Jicheng was dealt with, and there was still a bronze production in the West Liaoxi Walled City. But this Liaoxi City may be more difficult to deal with than Jicheng. Between the walled city of Zhoushui and the walled city of Liaoxi, there is a Lingzhi country, and it is very difficult to do whatever you want.

He shook his head and said, "There is only one power in the Liaoxi Walled City that smelts bronze. It's been a long time. It is easy to form a situation where one family dominates western Liaoxi, and gradually evolves into a unified pattern like our Zhoushui Walled City. That would be big trouble. The Walled City of Western Liaoning is probably the closest of the three Walled Cities, and it must be prioritized for one walled city. ”

Sheep said: "Becoming the king has already started to eradicate the bandit players of the Lingzhi country, as long as these bandits are swept away." Let's go to the walled city of Liaoxi unimpeded. When the time comes, a large amount of bronze will be dumped into Liaoxi City, and the bronze production in Liaoxi City will be directly crushed. ”

Qin Xiaobai said: "I haven't read the battle report of today's battle carefully, how many bandits have been exterminated by our cavalry army?" ”

When it came to suppressing bandits, Yang immediately said excitedly: "The security department used the decoy tactics of mountains and seas, and led a total of 5 raid battles, 5 battles and 5 battles, and a total of about 200 bandit soldiers were wiped out, and 0 of their own horses were killed, but the transport carriage lost two." ”

Qin Xiaobai wasn't excited, just smiled faintly. 200 bandits a day, 20,000 bandits in a hundred days. The old bandit player army has not been wiped out, and the new land bandit army is here again.

But since everyone likes to play the army to catch bandits, there is no harm in playing more.

He said: "It doesn't matter if you don't exterminate the bandits. Recently, our alliance has organized several large caravans to go to Liaoxi City in exchange for a large number of war horses. With an elite bronze cavalry of 1,000 people, coupled with a large number of foot guards, the bandits of the Zhiguo Land could not take any advantage of the caravan this time. Let's first concentrate the power of the alliance, sell a large amount of bronze to Liaoxi, and defeat the bronze production opponent in Liaoxi. ”

The sheep nodded and took note.

In view of the bronze production competitors closest to the Zhoushui Walled City in Bohai Walled City, Jicheng City, and Western Liaoning Walled City, Zhoushui Alliance quickly formed three completely different strategies.

Bohai, cut off the source of raw materials for copper ore, and strangle the two bronze productions in Bohai from the source.

In Jicheng, low-key, small-scale caravans carried out all-round infiltration, reducing the vigilance of the five bronze producers in Jicheng.

Liaoxi, high-pressure, frequently organized large-scale caravans, crushed the bronze students of the walled cities in Liaoxi.

These strategies were quickly recognized by the player leaders of various departments of the Zhoushui Alliance, and they were adopted and immediately implemented. The respective layouts have been adjusted to fully cooperate with these three sets of strategies. Even put forward their own opinions to improve them.

Defeating bronze production competitors from other walled cities was no longer just a matter for Qin Xiaobai alone, but a strong need for the entire Zhoushui Alliance. As the first industry, the bronze industry involves a wide range of interest groups, which is breathtaking.

Blood killing, thousands of miles without staying, becoming a king, sheep chamber of commerce, nameless chamber of commerce, god king, mountains and seas, hooligans are not crimes, draw swords and ask the sky, major legions, and player representatives of various industries, they are either the supply of copper ore and tin ore, or the sale of bronze, or the use of bronze, or Qin Xiaobai's strategic cooperation, or an important link in Qin Xiaobai's industrial chain, almost all of them have been tied to Qin Xiaobai's chariot.

Qin Xiaobai's interests were damaged, and the interests of the vast majority of them would also be hit hard. No one is immune to this competition. The degree of binding of its interests has even reached the point where Qin Xiaobai alone was damaged, and the entire alliance was hit hard.

Even if there was a conflict between each other, it must now be tightened together. Only the competition was beaten. Only then can everyone benefit together.

One of the highest strategies of becoming a leader is to fully bundle the interests of as many people as possible around him with his own interests, and the consistency of interests will make everyone involuntarily move closer to the core of interests. Everyone fights for their own interests, and at the same time, for the leader to achieve his intentions.

This process was completed unconsciously by Qin Xiaobai without many players in the Zhoushui tribe being aware of it. Under the unification of the Zhoushui Alliance, it gradually merged into the interests of the whole.

Qin Xiaobai's strategy of suppressing the surrounding walled city competitors was the reason why the entire alliance cooperated in an all-round way. Herein lies the reason.

As for the Lingzhi land bandit troops that have attracted the attention of many people, in addition to creating some lace war news. Adding some tea money and talking about it after dinner is just a pawn that can be used at will. Moreover, this chess piece was quickly put to good use.

The strategy against the Bronze competitor was developed, refined, and quickly executed.

Bohai side.

The merchants and players of the Zhoushui Alliance began to deliberately absorb the raw materials of copper ore transported to the Bohai Walled City from all over the world, buy them, sell them to the hands of the Sheep Chamber of Commerce, and send them to the camp of the Little White Army. In this way, a batch of copper mines was directly intercepted.

Other than that. If a player still insists on transporting a large amount of copper ore to the Bohai Walled City, then the only way to do this is to send out the Bronze Army to deter - not to loot. They did not use force, but created strong psychological pressure to sell the copper ore to them. Merchant players are more likely to run transportation for money. A strong army of bronze cavalry will not take risks for no reason.

Being stared at by a bronze army, under great pressure, they will involuntarily choose to sell the copper ore to Zhou Shui players to avoid losses.

The most desperate thing is that the chamber of commerce of the Zhoushui Alliance came to Bohai and deliberately snapped up the copper ore and raised the price of the copper ore. As a result, the price of copper ore in the Bohai Sea skyrocketed.

With these three moves, the raw materials of copper ore transported to Bohai City suddenly decreased sharply.

Even if a small amount of copper ore is transported to the Bohai Sea, the price is ridiculously high.

The Zhoushui Alliance also transported some bronzes to the Bohai Sea to sell them at a lower price, which directly depressed the profits of bronze production and made no money to make. You must know that Bohai City is not suitable for heavy industry, and it is even more difficult for the bronze smelting industry to support under this double blow.

The two bronze producers in Bohai City, who had just researched bronze, collapsed and fell due to lack of funds in wave after wave of blows, and not even one more blister appeared.

Jicheng is like a quiet lake, and there is no large-scale commercial movement. The road was full of small caravans of dozens of people. The large-scale trade movement of thousands of people as before, not even a shadow is gone. Between the two walled cities, Jicheng and Zhoushui, trade flourished in a low-key manner. The merchant players in Jicheng have also gradually lost their previous obvious hostile eyes.

The most classic is still the walled city of western Liaoning.

The Zhoushui Alliance successively sent a huge trade caravan and a strong escort army, a combination of 1,000 bronze cavalry and 10,000 bronze infantry, not to mention the bandits' robbery this time, and I didn't even see half of the bandits' shadows. When this huge caravan passed through the territory of Lingzhi again, all the bandit players along the way were in awe and envy. I have to say that although there are many bandits here, they have been killed by the bronze cavalry army, and they dare not touch the caravan of the Zhoushui Alliance again, because they have risked and tried many times, and they will not be able to grab any goods, but will be slaughtered in large numbers.

This caravan arrived at the walled city of Liaoxi, where it sold a large amount of bronze, medicine, silk, ceramics, and other materials, and only bought war horses, grain, slaves, and copper and tin ore, raising the price of copper ore in Liaoxi City -- this was a disguised oppression, forcing the cost of copper production and procurement to increase.

You must know that the copper mines in Zhoushui City were all mined by sixty or seventy thousand slaves in the Eagle Hand mining area, which was large and cheap.

Few walled cities were able to organize such a large group of slaves to mine copper mines, so most of the walled cities did not have many copper mines. The Zhoushui caravan only needs to take a big bite and eat the small amount of cheap copper ore on the market, which can easily make the local copper ore price skyrocket, skyrocket, and make people stunned. This is the case with the Walled City of Liaoxi, where the few cheap copper mines on the market have been swept away.

However, the tens of thousands of bronzes sold by the Zhoushui caravan were relatively cheap. A handful of bronze is not even as valuable as the corresponding copper ore raw materials. This made Jiuxiaoke, the only bronze producer in Liaoxi City, unbearable.

Jiuxiaoke has monopolized the production of bronzes in the western Liaoxi city for a period of time, and his strength is quite strong, so he has not been defeated all at once, and still has the power to fight back. In his anger, he decided to incite some players in Liaoxi City to form a huge caravan and go to Zhoushui Walled City to sell and resell goods, intending to use the same means to retaliate against the caravan in Zhoushui Walled City. He knew that if he didn't fight back, he would definitely be overwhelmed by the large number of bronzes from the Zhou Water Alliance, and he would be completely finished. He hoped to keep the invading caravan back by counterattacking.

The caravan of the walled city of Liaoxi came out, and they naturally had to pass through the border of Lingzhiguo.

The hundreds of bandit players in the Lingguo country do not recognize people, they only recognize whether the opponent's knife is hard or not.

The hard ones can be passed, and the soft ones must be left to buy road money.

The guards sent by this caravan of Liaoxi City were only more than 5,000 soldiers, far inferior to the 7,000 troops of the original God King, and this caravan was frequently sacked by bandit troops along the way, and by the time they arrived at the Zhoushui Walled City, they had lost as much as 15% of their goods.

This means that the Liaoxi caravan has not yet started trading, and has already taxed the bandits on the road first. And the Zhoushui caravan went to the walled city of Liaoxi and paid 0% tax to the bandits. -- In the same long-distance trade, there is a direct difference of 30% in profits.

The players of Zhoushui Walled City warmly welcomed this caravan from Liaoxi City without the slightest unpleasantness. This was the first large-scale caravan to come to the Walled City of Zhoushui from other walls.

The leaders of the Zhoushui Alliance also came forward to greet the caravan and express their friendship.

Of course, Jiuxiaoke would not be deceived by such superficial tricks, and he immediately led a large number of his subordinates into Zhoushui City to buy raw materials for copper ore, and wanted to buy a large number of copper ore back. Didn't the Zhoushui Alliance buy a large amount of copper mines in Liaoxi City! He also bought a large number of water city walled areas this week, and he couldn't lose this breath!

But what shocked him was that almost all the player shops in the Zhoushui Walled City, the prices of other goods were normal, but only the copper ore for public sale was marked with a uniform price:

Copper coins/1 unit of copper ore, welcome to buy, come back at any time.

Jiuxiao Ke almost didn't vomit blood in frustration.

The players under him, as well as the other merchants and players in the Walled City of Liaoxi, all looked like dirt. This merchant player finally understood that they were not facing a caravan from Zhoushui, but a powerful coalition that included the entire Zhoushui.

They soon also learned that the water walled city, including copper mines, grain, slaves, horses, etc., was a non-external sale item that was only bought and not sold, and almost all of them were monopolized by this united force.

They traded goods once in Zhoushui Walled City, but they didn't take advantage of it, and the profits they obtained were not high. When he returned to the walled city of Liaoxi, it was not surprising that he was frequently robbed by the hateful bandits in the territory of Lingzhi, and the losses were even more serious than when he came. But there is nothing they can do, their strength is not enough, and there is no way to be robbed. This long-distance trade is a loss for the merchants and players in Liaoxi City. In particular, they were forced to pay up to 30% of the "road fare" to the bandits.

The bandit group of the Lingzhi Kingdom became a magical barrier between the Zhoushui Walled City and the Liaoxi Walled City, which actually brought unexpected results. The existence of this barrier also caused an imbalance in trade between the Zhoushui Walled City and the Liaoxi Walled City, and became a frequently used chess piece in the trade contest between the two sides.
