If you really want to transfer the population and materials to other territories, the previous waves of lords who did this generally did not live a very prosperous life in the new territories.

Up to the sky.

That is to say, guarding a subsidiary village and being a small landowner in the countryside.

Many people are unwilling to do so.

Once a river valley city-state is formed, even if the territory is damaged, you can still get a better position in the city-state. Its platform is indeed much higher than most of the alliance's territories.

Worth a try.

………

"Quite smart!"

The coalition commander Douglas was quite happy to learn that Bronn was taking the lead in establishing the river valley city-state.

It can be regarded as helping him out.

If the lords of the three counties really do not cooperate and move all together, then his guerrilla warfare will not be effective.

You can’t really retreat, right?

The three counties are already the best barriers. If we retreat further, we can only retreat to Stone County, Ord County and Nash County, which will almost reach the border of the province.

Once there is no strategic depth, the space for Douglas to operate becomes smaller.

It is also easy to be criticized by the alliance.

It cannot be said that as soon as Douglas took office, he imitated Rutgers and Grant and played the same tricks as his predecessors. So what is the difference between him and his predecessors?

Just thinking about it.

Staff officer Mike hurriedly reported: "General, we have just received news that a heavy infantry brigade has appeared in the southeast corner of Tala Province. Preliminary judgment is that it is a unit of the Chang'an Tiance Corps."

"what's the situation?"

Douglas was also obviously stunned, "Didn't the Tiance Legion enter the Beiluo Mountains to resist the demonic tide?"

"It's time to enter the mountains."

Mike nodded, "This can be confirmed."

In order to keep track of the movements of various armies in Chang'an, the coalition forces dispatched multiple special forces to lurk and follow them.

It can never be wrong.

"I just don't know if this heavy infantry brigade is just responsible for outposts, or if it is some kind of conspiracy created by Chang'an." Mike added.

"Hasn't the demonic tide in the Beiluo Mountains fully erupted yet?" Douglas asked.

"not yet."

"Then it's a bit difficult to judge. Let's continue to observe."

Without sufficient intelligence support, it was difficult for Douglas to make rash judgments, especially when facing a cunning opponent like Chang'an.

"good!"

Mike also agreed.

The conflict occurred in Tara Province and had nothing to do with the coalition forces. The crisis was left to the local lords of Tara Province to handle. The main task of the coalition forces was to deal with Chang'an's frontline attack.
