Xiangyang, known as Xiangzhou in ancient times.

During the Western Wei Dynasty, he placed the Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion and led thirteen counties such as Xiangyang, Henan, and Shandu.

In the third year of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the state was changed to a county, and the county was unified by the county, and Xiangzhou was divided into four counties: Xiangyang, Chungling, Fangling and Nanyang.

Xiangyang County belongs to Xiangyang, Anyang, Changping, Gucheng, Shanghong, Shuidao, Hannan, Yan, Yincheng, Yiqing, Nanzhang and other counties and towns.

Xiangyang, where Qian Duguan is based, is the county seat of Xiangyang County - Xiangyang City.

In Xiangyang City, Qian Duguan's 'Han Water Gang' had a huge force, and based on this, it continued to radiate to the surrounding counties and towns, and now the 'Han Water Gang' has taken Anyang, Gucheng, Shanghong, Yiqing, Nanzhang and other five counties and towns under its control.

With the changes in the regional situation in the Central Plains, the importance of Xiangyang City has gradually become prominent, and it has become the focus of competition among all parties.

Lin Sumo and Kou Zhong both gave the word 'Xiangyang', and it was both of them who saw this and coincidentally gave the same goal.

Lin Sumo asked, "Xiao Zhong, if you were asked to plot to seize Xiangyang, what would you do?" ”

Kou Zhong pondered for a moment and said: "The key to seeking Xiangyang City is Qian Duguan and the 'Han Water Gang' under its control, the 'Han Water Gang' has been entrenched in Xiangyang for many years, and the underlying forces are intertwined, and have penetrated into all corners of Xiangyang City and surrounding towns......

Speaking of this, Kou Zhong saw that Lin Sumo was just smiling and silent, and did not agree, so he had to continue to speak, "But we have just arrived, and we don't have extra troops under our hands to control Xiangyang City, so I plan to subdue the small gangs in the counties and towns near Xiangyang City first, and after controlling them with enough strength, I will uproot the power of the 'Hanshui Gang' in Xiangyang City in one fell swoop......"

Lin Sumo shook his head and said: "The speed is too slow, and there are too many killings in the whole process, which is harmful to the follow-up control, and Li Mi's 'Wagang Army' will soon attack Luoyang, if there is no accident, Luoyang's Wang Shichong will undoubtedly be defeated, once Li Mi captures Luoyang, then the 'Wagang Army' has become a general trend, whether it is to the south to the north, or to the west, it will become a sweeping trend, and it will be difficult to contain!" ”

Everyone's face changed slightly when they heard this, and in the face of the swept and unstoppable army, even the 'grandmaster-level' masters did not dare to fight it directly, competing for the world and fighting for territory, mainly relying on a strong and powerful army, even if the role of martial arts masters on the battlefield is limited after all, and the 'grandmaster-level' masters can only be used as a deterrent.

Once Li Mi controls the general trend of the world, the so-called general trend, coupled with the arrogant generals of the 'Wagang Army', it is really possible for Li Mi to win the world, and such a result is something that everyone here does not want to see.

"Therefore, in order to seize Xiangyang, in addition to looking for a breakthrough in the west and north, we must also threaten the 'Wagang Army' in Henan, so that Li Mi will face the situation of being attacked on three sides, at that time, Li Mi will definitely tie his hands and feet, and then affect Li Mi's plan to seize Luoyang!"

In the original process, Wang Shichong, who was entrenched in Luoyang, with the help of Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Zhai Rang's old troops, defeated Li Mi outside Luoyang City, and Li Mi experienced this defeat, flourishing and declining, until he surrendered to Li Tang, and the once prosperous 'Wagang Army' also died out.

And now in the 'Tang World', because of Lin Sumo's intervention, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling did not have too deep a grudge with Li Mi, nor did they take the initiative to intervene in the battle between Wang Shichong and Li Mi. As a result, the direction of the Battle of Luoyang has changed uncertainly.

In fact, for Lin Sumo, he doesn't care who wins or loses in the battle of Luoyang, what Lin Sumo cares about is just reshaping a new Datang world according to his own ideas, the greater the change in the original process trajectory and the more uncertainties, the more beneficial it will be to the reshaping of the world.

Therefore, Lin Sumo did not follow the established trajectory, not only changed the trajectory of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, but also secretly used methods in the 'Pegasus Ranch' to kill Chai Shao by Li Tianci's hand.

In this way, it was tantamount to cutting off Li Mi's retreat to surrender to Li Tang, forcing Li Mi's 'Wagang Army' to fight Li Tang to the end. At the same time, it also slowed down Li Tang's pace of dominating the world.

And the next layout, Xiangyang City is a wedge embedded between Li Tang, Li Mi and Wang Shichong by Lin Sumo, and when necessary, this wedge can be used to pry the situation in the Central Plains and the entire Jiangbei region.

Kou Zhong pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Then there is only one way to go, cooperate, cooperate with Qian Duguan!" ”

Cooperate with Qian Duguan, as long as you control Qian Duguan, it is equivalent to controlling the 'Hanshui Gang', and controlling the 'Hanshui Gang' is equivalent to controlling the entire Xiangyang City, so Qian Duguan can't die, at least in the Ming place, Qian Duguan can't die!

Hearing this, Lin Sumo neither recognized nor denied it, but just said with a smile: "As far as I know, Bai Qing'er, the wife of Qian Duguan, is the disciple of Zhu Yuyan, the 'Queen of Yin', so it is not easy to control Qian Duguan!" ”

Kou Zhong exclaimed in surprise when he heard this: "The disciple of the 'Queen of Yin' Zhu Yuyan is not the junior sister of the Demon Girl?" Could it be that the queen of yin wants to dominate the world? ”

The sentence 'Wan Demon Girl' provoked Wan Wan, who was standing by the window, to look back and look angrily, and her eyes full of murderous intent made Kou Zhong shiver, and he smiled wryly, and quickly turned his gaze away, not daring to look at him.

"Humph!"

Wan Wan snorted coldly and said: "Bai Qing'er is indeed a disciple of the family teacher, and it is indeed a chess piece placed by the family teacher beside Qian Duguan, but the disciples of the 'Yin Sect' have always acted alone, and what Bai Qing'er wants to do has nothing to do with me!" ”

Wan Wan and Bai Qing'er are both disciples of Zhu Yuyan, the 'Queen of Yin', but the two have never been on good terms, if Bai Qing'er's mission fails, Wan Wan will be happy to sit on the sidelines, and even add fuel to the fire.

Lin Sumo said with a smile: "The next task will be handed over to you Kou Zhong to control, whether you can successfully control Xiangyang City depends on your ability!" ”

Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and agreed, this task seems simple, but in fact, it is difficult to really execute, especially with the participation of the Demon Gate, which makes the difficulty a lot higher.

Kou Zhong did not mention the 'Queen of Yin' Zhu Yuyan, because with Lin Sumo sitting in Xiangyang, Kou Zhong would not worry about Zhu Yuyan, a master of this level.

But among the demon gates, in addition to the 'Yin Queen' Zhu Yuyan, there are also masters such as Pi Shouxuan and Wen Caiting, as well as countless dead soldiers, and it is difficult to compete with Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and a few others.
