365 What’s Happening in Lingnan (1/2)

Compared to Ouyang Shuo, Di Chen had a higher degree of control over the player population.

The various large families had a really skilled system used to control players. In truth, their families and teams all contained management geniuses. As a result, shifting those skills into the game was not difficult at all.

Hence, Di Chen did not need to behave like Ouyang Shuo and act so wary toward players. Di Chen did not need to fear betrayal and could just allow them to do whatever they wanted.

With Di Chen's actions, it was not hard to predict the future course that Zhan Lang and the others would take. The Yanhuang Alliance had taken a hit during the Battle of Lianzhou. Naturally, they would try to find some way to make it up.

Following the multiple failures of the Yanhuang Alliance, the depth of their foundations and roots were slowly revealed.

For Ouyang Shuo, an unknown and mysterious Yanhuang Alliance was the scariest. Moreover, Ouyang Shuo did not know the number of trump cards the current Yanhuang Alliance possessed.

To acquire all of this intel, he would have to rely on the Black Snake Guards to investigate and find out.

As his position slowly rose, his views of the world was also changing. When facing player groups, Ouyang Shuo had grown more and more confident.

Naturally, Ouyang Shuo was wary and careful with the Lianzhou Prefecture being the main area of his territory. However, in regards to Qiongzhou Island, Ouyang Shuo could behave more open and daring.

Leading the three big guilds into Yazhou was the first step.

In the future, Ouyang Shuo would attract more players to live in Yazhou.

After all, it was not enough to develop Yazhou quickly if he only depended on migrants from Shanhai City. Yashan City was limited in growth. Additionally, due to Bing'er's rank, the number of refugees they had were limited.

Outside of Yazhou, the vast land was waiting for Ouyang Shuo to reclaim and use.

Precious riches filled the land.

After talking to Wufu, Ouyang Shuo went to look for Song Wen.

Tianshuang County was located in Lingnan.

Ouyang Shuo had made some plan in regards to Lingnan. Hence, he needed to set up the traps beforehand.

Tianshuang County was undoubtedly a good choice.

After all, they all had similar interests and had familial connections. As a result, both sides had the basic trust.

”What thoughts does big brother have toward Lingnan?”

As a heavy economic province, Lingnan's importance could not be underestimated. However, the four financial groups that the Song and Yuan Family represented were only strong in the financial field. The real people with power were not them.

With the Taiping Country temporarily fooling around in Guangxi, Lingnan had benefited greatly. Making use of this time, the lords in Lingnan had already started to form alliances.

Ouyang Shuo was not clear about the specific details.

He only remembered that in his last life, the four big financial groups did not have much fame in Lingnan. Instead, it was a guild known as South Alliance. Their leader was called Hefo, and he hailed from an aristocratic family.

Hearing Ouyang Shuo ask about Lingnan, Song Wen was shocked. At that moment, many thoughts flashed across his mind, and he was wondering why Ouyang Shuo asked that.

On the surface, he was calm and said, ”I do have some knowledge about the situation in Lingnan.”

”Please tell!”

”The four financial groups are now split into two. The Zhou family is closer to us, while the Zhao Family is close to the Yuan family.”

Ouyang Shuo realized that the splitting up of the four financial groups had to do with him. Without his presence, the marriage plan between the Yuan and the Song family would have gone ahead. Now, however, the two parties had become enemies.

”The most scary point is not that. In Lingnan, there's an alliance known as the South Alliance. To go against our Song Family, Yuan Ping has joined the South Alliance.”

As he spoke till this point, Song Wen's heart was filled with sorrow.

It was apparent that their situation in Lingnan was not good. Because they belonged to the Shanhai Alliance, everyone would naturally gang up and go against them.

When Ouyang Shuo heard this, he laughed.

It seems like Yuan Ping still had not accepted defeat. He thought that joining the South Alliance would give him the ability to go against Ouyang Shuo.

Ouyang Shuo did not care much about this.

However, the current situation of Tianshuang County caused Ouyang Shuo to frown. His brother-in-law could be said to be cultured and well brought up, but he lacked the spirit of an overlord.

The current state of Tianshuang County had all to do with Song Wen not taking the initiative to attack.

Ouyang Shuo had several conversations with the Song Family. According to his impressions, they were very calculative and lacked humanity.

They treated the territory like a company, so how could it actually prosper?

This was also the reason why Di Chen could suppress Chun Shenjun.

Although Di Chen had made a series of errors that affected his prestige, he could still pick himself back up.

Chun Shenjun, on the other hand, could not. After the Battle of Lianzhou, it seems like he would need a long time before he could recover.

The identity of being part of the Shanhai Alliance should not make others target you.

Instead, you should use it like a weapon.

In this aspect, Feng Qiuhuang had undoubtedly used the advantage of the alliance to its maximum. She created a territory alliance under the wing of the Shanhai Alliance known as the Shanhai Alliance—Phoenix Alliance.

With that, Fallen Phoenix City would shelter anyone who joined the Phoenix Alliance; this was the same as receiving the Shanhai Alliance’s protection.
