The Qi family has begun to attack Songjiang Ling! This is really not good news, before, the Songjiang Territory was completely closed and no longer interacted with any party, and after the Pinghua Territory completely rebelled, broke away from Tianhua, and merged into Auckland, the Tianhua forces such as the Qingyang Collar and the Wu'an Collar led by the Zhao family, as well as the Auckland forces led by the Cook family, the two sides have been tense and may fight at any time, and Zhao Zheng naturally made a certain degree of speculation about the situation.

In his speculation, if a war is launched, there are two most likely situations, the first is to bypass the Songjiang Collar and not take care of the Li family, after all, the Songjiang Collar will not send troops if it looks like that, so it is unlikely to have an impact on other forces, in this case, it is the most likely way to leave it alone when the situation is tense now, and wait until the end of the war to clean them up, because the troops of the Songjiang Collar also have a certain combat effectiveness, and if it is tough, it will inevitably have losses.

Of course, Zhao Zheng also made another speculation, that is, the Cook family will use the Songjiang Territory as a battlefield to fight a decisive battle with the Zhao family, the basis of this speculation is that no one wants to fight on their own land, the Cook family is unwilling, and the Zhao family is not willing, and if you take the initiative to enter the other party's territory, you will be countered by the other party, and you will not have an advantage in logistics, so in this way, opening up a third-party battlefield has become a good solution, and in the middle of all forces, and there is no active side, And the average strength of Songjiang Ling, naturally is the best choice.

Previously, among Zhao Zheng's two speculations, he felt that the first one was more likely. Because the Cook family has seen the strength of the Zhao family and understands that the Zhao family is not easy to mess with, then the Cook family should not be too active. The appetite will not be too big, it should be launched on the border between the two sides, and then gradually encroach on the territory of Tianhua, in this way, although the speed will be slower, but it is safer, if you are careful. There will be no such thing as the Lance family being wiped out.

But now, it turns out that the Cook family's appetite has exceeded Zhao Zheng's expectations, or rather. This is the true personality of the Aucklanders, Zhao Zheng speculated about the Aucklanders with the thoughts of the Tianhua people, and naturally felt that the first speculation was more likely, but the situation of the Qi family was not said for the time being. The Cook family is truly Aucklanders. And it's also the Auckland aristocracy, a people who make a living by plundering and have developed to the level they are now, so it is inevitable that they will choose the second method.

The Qi family began to attack the Songjiang Territory, which must have been instructed by the Cook family, presumably their plan was to let the Qi family gradually annex the Songjiang Territory. And if the Zhao family wants to rescue, they must also go through Songjiang. Not to mention whether the Li family will ask the Zhao family for help, even if it will, by the time the Zhao family's troops rush to Songjiang Ling, a small half of Songjiang Ling has already been owned by the Qi family, at that time, even if the Zhao family and the Li family are unwilling, Songjiang Ling has become a battlefield for both forces.

For the Qi family, if you want to gain a foothold in Auckland, you must hand over a qualified letter of submission, be the pioneer of the Cook family, capture the Songjiang Territory, and provide a battlefield for the war between the two sides, which is a good answer, and for the Cook family, of course, let the Qi family, an outsider, contribute first, consume the Zhao family's sharpness, and wait until the Songjiang Leader This battlefield is almost stable, and then swagger in. Then together with the Qi family, he drove the Zhao family and the Li family out of Songjiang Ling.

The benefits of the former method are average, at most some border areas between the Qingyang Territory and the Songjiang Territory, but the difficulty is also very low, there will not be any big losses, and there will be no too difficult battles, but the second method chosen by the Cook family, if it is successful, the benefits will be very rich, it is very likely to be the entire Songjiang Territory, if it goes well, it will even be able to take a part of the Qingyang Territory on this basis, of course, it must go through a hard battle.

"That's the way it is." Zhao Zheng explained the current situation to He Ping in detail, and after taking a sip of tea, he continued: "If the first method is used, we still have a better way to deal with it, but if it is the second method, we can only stare dryly in the early stage, if the Li family does not ask us for help, or if there is no imperial decree from above, we can't just send troops into Songjiang Ling, this time it's not like before, it is necessary to have a large number of troops, and it makes no sense to rely on Wen Fang alone." ”

That's right, you can't just send a large army into the Songjiang Domain, this is the most troublesome thing for Zhao Zheng at present, after all, the Songjiang Domain is still the territory of the Li family, the Li family has not shown clear signs of rebellion like the Qi family, they are still the nobles of Tianhua, and the Songjiang Territory is still the land of Tianhua, and the soldiers of the Qingyang Domain must have the permission of the Lord of Songjiang or the decree of the Emperor Tianhua before they can enter the Songjiang Territory, otherwise, even if they are well-intentioned and do good things, they will eventually leave a handle for others, which is not good for the Zhao family.

"The Li family is really ...... The mud can't hold up the wall. After listening to Zhao Zheng's explanation and analysis, He Ping also shook his head, the previous situation was still very good, Wu Anling had recovered his vitality and could rejoin the war, the troops of the Qingyang Collar had just defeated Reims Province, the morale was booming, the Qi family had just defected, the military and the people's hearts were very unstable, and the part of the Lance family that the Cook family had taken over before and the territory bordering the Qingyang Collar was also a newcomer.

Such a good situation, if the Songjiang Collar can unite with the Qingyang Collar and the Wu'an Collar to build a defensive line together, and defend against the offensive of the Qi family with the cooperation of the Qingyang Collar, then the Cook family will definitely not dare to act rashly, and if the Qi family fails to make meritorious contributions after joining Auckland, it will inevitably affect their status with the new master Auckland, maybe soon they will reach a situation where they are not human inside and outside, at that time, maybe there is no need to fight, and the Qi family itself will collapse.

But such a good situation is completely useless because of the Li family, because the Li family is completely closed and uncooperative, the troops of the Qingyang Collar cannot assist the Songjiang Collar in defending the offensive of the Qi family, and the Li family itself is of course unable to resist, and now, there is no suspense that the Songjiang Collar will become a battlefield between the two sides, in this way, even if the troops of the Qingyang Collar and the Wu'an Collar can win the battle, at least half of the Songjiang Collar will fall into the pockets of the Qi family and the Cook family.

"Who's to say it isn't!" Hearing He Ping's evaluation, Wen Fang on the side also agreed very much: "When I took the special forces to Songjiang Territory because they might be biased towards the Qi family, I found that their troops had no combat effectiveness at all, and they were far worse than the troops of Qingyang Territory, the training level was very low, the military salary was very low, and the food standard was also very low. ”

"Ahem, that's a bit too much." Hearing Wen Fang's more and more outrageous, Zhao Zheng added: "The troops of the Songjiang Collar do not have any combat effectiveness, but if they are said to be the same as the troops of the Inland Collar and cannot fight, then it is not enough, the troops of the Songjiang Collar are the same as the Li family, they are good at defense, if they are allowed to defend, the level is not inferior to the troops of the Qingyang Collar and the Wu'an Collar, but the offensive ability is a little worse, if they are repulsed, there is basically no possibility of counterattacking back." ”

"That's right, well, but it still doesn't sound like you can count on it." After He Ping finished speaking, he remembered the conversation with Jiading before, so he asked: "Brother Wenfang, I heard that you also went to Pinghua Collar before and rescued some people from Pinghua Ling, what is the specific situation?" ”

"That's what you said, hehe, it's the special forces and those weapons that have made a great contribution." Wen Fang said proudly: "The Pinghua Collar is not a monolith, except for the Qi family, many of the other families are against joining Auckland, but the Qi family controls most of the army, so it is necessary to purge these families and the troops under their control, and then I rescued a lot of people with special forces, and fought guerrilla warfare in Pinghua Collar for a period of time, and finally took them across the border and entered the Qingyang Collar!"
