1027 South Song Is Weak? No! (1/2)

Chapter 1027 – South Song Is Weak? No!

”What idea?” Xiong Ba asked.

Ouyang Shuo smiled but did not say anything, avoiding the question.

Seeing that, Xiong Ba did not continue asking and said, ”Apart from the instability, there's also another troubling matter. There are many Mongol spies within the city, and it is hard for us to plan without the enemy knowing.”

Since the past till now, China was filled with many country traitors and spies.

The Mongol Empire and their overbearing aura has already swept up Lin'an city, so it was not surprising if the nobles were tempted. Whether it be to continue their family line or for prosperity and riches, they would become the lackey of the Mongols.

Especially aristocratic families, to them, the country could die but not the family. To ensure the survival of their family, they were willing to do anything.

The Battle of Lin'an in history where South Song surrendered without fighting showed this problem.

Furthermore, this time, Kublai Khan was the one personally leading the Mongols.

”We cannot do anything about that.” Ouyang Shuo shook his head bitterly, ”We are only outsiders, so to wipe the spies out is impossible. We can only strengthen our wariness.”

Toward the South Song Imperial Court, Ouyang Shuo had no hopes.

If they wanted to openly wipe out the spies, not only would it terrify everyone and affect battle preparations, but it might even alert them and cause the spies to hide even deeper.

Xiong Ba nodded, expressing his agreement.

...

Walking out of Ouyang Shuo's tent, Xiong Ba did not return to his but instead went to Di Chen's.

Not only Di Chen, but Zhan Lang and Chun Shenjun were also here.

Listening to Xiong Ba's description, the expressions of Di Chen and the others were all different. Chun Shenjun said suggestively, ”Xiong Ba, you really are something, getting so close to the old fox right away.”

Even Di Chen, when he heard that it was Xiong Ba who was asked to join the Grand Council, could not help but feel his heart sink.

When Xiong Ba saw that, he gave a causal smile, ”Brother Ouyang is willing to treat me well. Obviously, I will not seek personal gain shamelessly.”

Xiong Ba's words were a diss to Chin Shenjun.

Chun Shenjun was a person who cared a lot about face, so how would he take the provocation? As such, he said, ”Wow, this is new. The old fox tosses out a bone and someone starts to call him brother. Do you still know what your surname is?”

”You!”

Xiong Ba was furious.

When Zhan Lang saw that, not caring about the thoughts he had in his heart, he stepped out to be the mediator, ”Stop fighting, stop being a joke. Now, we should discuss which general to select to entire the Grand Council.”

For the Battle of Yashan, Di Chen brought Lianpo, Xiong Ba brought Wuqi, and Zhan Lang brought Zhao Zhuang. These were all the top general under their care. Only Chun Shenjun did not bring Tiandan over. Instead, he brought a normal general with him.

In terms of ability, naturally Wuqi should be the one.

However, Xiong Ba was already in it, and if they let Wuqi go, that would be bad. Luckily, Xiong Ba understood the situation and was not going to quarrel with Di Chen, ”Let Lianpo go. He's the most experienced and is the most suitable.”

When Di Chen saw that, his expression relaxed as he nodded in agreement.

...

On the way back, Zhan Lang could not help but shake his head.

During the meeting, Zhan Lang could feel an obvious coldness. In less than five years, the once eye-catching and stellar Yanhuang Alliance was being picked apart by Ouyang Shuo.

Although the Yanhuang Alliance had its defensive measures, if one of Chun Shenjun or Xiong Ba fell, the situation of Yanhuang Alliance would be horrendous.

In comparison, the faction's workings were really backward.

'Who knows what that old man is thinking.' Zhan Lang could not help but sigh. The long period of being undercover made him really uncomfortable because it was not his style.

...

Sunny morning.

The Grand Council set up within the city held its first meeting.

For this meeting, it was mainly to set up the defensive regions of each group. Lin'an had four sides of city walls, a total of 12 gates, big and small. Which troops would defend which portion needed to be planned beforehand.

It was impossible to make the 340 thousand player forces all squeeze into one area because that was not practical.

The city defense army could be split into three groups. First, there was the South Song army. Secondly, there was the Yanhuang Alliance, whose strength was the greatest

Ouyang Shuo and Feng Qiuhuang formed the third group. Due to the considerable ability of the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps, their ability was insane too.
