Chapter 1164, an agreement
"Brother Li, I'm so embarrassed to let you wait for a long time."
After returning to the living room, before the Shuiyun Tianren arrived, the voice changed and passed by first.
Looking at Shui Yuntian and Dongfang Liang who were returning side by side, Li Yufeng smiled slightly and said, "Brothers, how are you thinking?"
I wonder if the reward I gave me can be seen by the two brothers?"
"Brother Li was joking. We two are very satisfied with the reward you gave by Brother Li. We are also very willing to send troops to help Brother Li overcome difficulties.
But, there are some details, so we'd better reach an agreement in advance to avoid blaming each other."
Ignoring Li Yufeng's jokes, Shui Yuntian chose to go straight to the topic.
Hearing that Shui Yuntian was still trying to pick the details with him, Li Yufeng frowned slightly and said, "Yes, I wonder if Brother Shui has anything else to know?"
Just as Shui Yuntian spoke, Li Yufeng saw a trace of greed in Dongfang Liang's eyes, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.
"Brother Li, you can do it if you want us to dispatch the Flying Corps. In addition to Beixiangyang City, we also hope that Brother Li can give us Yuliangzhou together." Shui Yuntian said with a greedy look on his face.
Now Li Yufeng has something to ask for them, so he is not worried that Li Yufeng will submit, because Li Yufeng is willing to take it out as a bargaining chip in Beixiangyang. If he asks him for an extra Yuliangzhou, I believe he will agree in the end.
Yuliangzhou is the largest river island on the Han River and has always been known as the pearl of the Han River.
Although its area is not very large, its geographical location is very important.
Yuliangzhou is surrounded by water on three sides. To the northwest is the North Xiangyang City, to the east is the vast land on the east bank of the Han River, and to the south is the South Xiangyang City.
Yuliangzhou is across the river from Beixiangyang City. The shortest distance is only more than 200 meters. The water there is very gentle and it is very convenient to cross the river. Therefore, in many cases, Yuliangzhou is used as a natural granary in Beixiangyang City.
After Li Yufeng occupied the entire Xiangyang area, he not only built a solid river embankment around Yuliangzhou, but also built a long city wall not far from the river embankment, surrounding the entire Yuliangzhou and turning Yuliangzhou into a castle in the middle of the river.
Since Yuliangzhou is surrounded by water on three sides, there is only an iron cable bridge connected to Beixiangyang City on the entire island. If the enemy wants to attack Yuliangzhou, they must first go to the water route and then go ashore to launch an attack.
However, the river embankment around Yuliangzhou is very close to the city wall, and the enemy will be attacked by the archers on the city wall before they even get ashore.
So unless you first break through Beixiangyang City, then attack Yuliangzhou through the iron chain bridge, or directly send a flying army to attack Yuliangzhou, you can only watch the opponent continuously transport various sources of material resources from Yuliangzhou to Beixiangyang City.
In that battle, the reason why Li Yufeng was able to withstand the fierce attack of the Northern Expedition Alliance and ultimately ensured that Beixiangyang City was not lost was mainly because he could quickly transport reserve troops and various materials into Beixiangyang City through Yuliangzhou.
The Northern Expedition Alliance sent a flight corps to attack Yuliangzhou several times. However, since Li Yufeng built the Yuliangzhou defense system according to the European castle pattern, facing Yuliangzhou with a divine armed archer guarding, the Northern Expedition Alliance's flight corps could only return in disgrace.
Now Shui Yuntian asked Li Yufeng for Yuliangzhou, just to completely cut off Li Yufeng's desire to retake Beixiangyang City, and also to help the Northern Expedition Alliance find an important starting point for offensive in the Xiangyang area.
Because as long as they can have both Beixiangyang City and Yuliangzhou, they can change the embarrassing identity of the Nanyang Basin that is always passively beaten, and firmly grasp the initiative of the attack in their own hands.
Although they faced the tremendous pressure given by the Condor Empire, they and Li Yufeng would not turn against each other for a long time.
But if you plan ahead, you should prepare some things in advance, so as not to be busy in the future when you cram the situation.
Hearing that Shui Yuntian was not satisfied with getting a Beixiangyang City, he actually wanted to ask him for Yuliangzhou. The smile on Li Yufeng's face disappeared immediately.
If Beixiangyang City is a gateway to the Nanyang Basin, then Yuliangzhou is definitely a bridgehead for attacking the Nanxiangyang area.
With Yuliangzhou, the enemy can not only attack the Nanxiangyang area from multiple places, but also go south along the Han River to attack the logistics support base in Xiangyang - Yicheng.
Yuliangzhou guarded the only waterway from the upper reaches of the Han River to the lower reaches. Giving Yuliangzhou to the other party is equivalent to giving up the entire Han River channel to the other party.
The Han River diverted the route from Xiangyang area to the south, directly dividing the Hubei area into two, giving up the Han River channel, which was equivalent to opening the hinterland of Hubei to the other party without reservation and handing over the initiative of the attack to the other party.
Without Yuliangzhou, Li Yufeng's Little Li Tang, not to mention that he wanted to counterattack the Nanyang area, it would be difficult for him to enter strategic defense, because the Han River Basin is so vast that he could not defend every inch of land along the Han River coast.
"What if I don't agree to give Yu Liangzhou to you?"
After thinking for a long time, Li Yufeng suddenly asked expressionlessly.
"Then please forgive me for not being able to help you, because this flying corps is already our only air force, and we cannot let it take risks easily."
When Shui Yuntian heard that Li Yufeng wanted to refuse, he gave an ultimatum without any ambiguity.
"There is no room for negotiation?" Li Yufeng asked unwillingly.
"No, this is our bottom line. Beixiangyang City and Yuliangzhou are indispensable." Shui Yuntian's tone was very firm and refused to make any concessions.
After discovering that Shui Yuntian's attitude was extremely determined, Li Yufeng stared at Shui Yuntian tightly, and Shui Yuntian stared at Li Yufeng without showing any weakness.
After the two looked at each other for a long time, Li Yufeng sighed slightly and said, "Yes, but I have two prerequisites. If you don't agree, then I will return to Xiangyang City immediately. You just think I haven't been here today."
"Brother Li, please speak."
Seeing that Li Yufeng finally surrendered, Shui Yuntian's eyes suddenly lit up.
After looking at Shui Yuntian, he looked at Dongfang Liang who had not spoken after returning. Li Yufeng stretched out a finger and said in a deep voice: "The first condition is that you must help me without reservation and not hide your strength.
This time you must send all the adult griffins and the Aboriginal owl legion.”
"No problem, we now have more than 3,000 adult griffins and 200,000 Aboriginal owl warriors.
This time we will support Brother Li in Xiangyang, not only will we bring these two flying legions as much as possible, but we will also bring five thousand players angel legions to fight together.
How about it, are you full of sincerity?
I wonder if Brother Li is satisfied?"
Shui Yuntian replied confidently.
"Yes, you have achieved the first condition."
Li Yufeng nodded with satisfaction.
"The second condition is that you must be responsible for restraining the main force of the Condor Air Force for a day.
During this day, they cannot be given a chance to escape easily, nor can they be given a chance to attack the ground legion I sent.
If you do it, after the matter is done, I will free up Beixiangyang City and Yuliangzhou to you within a month.
If your restraining mission fails, I'm sorry, I can't give it to you, neither Beixiangyang City nor Yuliangzhou."
Immediately afterwards, Li Yufeng proposed the second condition.
After hearing the second condition proposed by Li Yufeng, Shui Yuntian did not give an answer immediately, but instead turned his attention to Dongfang Liang on the side.
He is just the city guard of Nanyang City and does not know much about the combat effectiveness of the flying legion under Dongfang Liang, so he has to seek Dongfang Liang's opinion on this matter.
Seeing that Shui Yuntian was seeking his opinions with his eyes, Dongfang Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Li, it is no problem to hold the main force of Ningyuan's Condor Air Force for a day, but I can't guarantee you how many Silver Pegasus Knights will be separated from the main force by then.
I hope you can understand this with Brother Li.”
Seeing that Dongfang Liang had not spoken after returning, he finally spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he set up a trap for himself. Li Yufeng smiled coldly and said, "This time Ning Yuan brought a total of 10,000 or 20,000 Silver Pegasus Knights.
If those Silver Pegasus Knights did not stay with the main legion of the Condor Air Force, then for Brother Dongfang, isn’t this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the enemy?
In the Condor Air Force led by Ning Yuan, the only ones who can pose a threat to the flying legion under your command of Brother Dongfang are the Silver Pegasus Knights.
If those Silver Pegasus Knights were not here, I don't know what else the Condor Air Force could use to resist the attack of the Flying Legion under your command, Brother Dongfang.
Brother Dongfang, do you think so?”
Dongfang Liang just wanted to restrain the Condor Air Force and did not want to have a large-scale bloody conflict with the other party, so he wanted to reach a consensus with Li Yufeng first by getting a vaccination.
Unfortunately, Li Yufeng could see his conspiracy at a glance, and he didn't even take his tricks. He took the opportunity to turn over Dongfang Liang and his army.
Okay, Dongfang Liang can't bear to see the silver pegasus with wings. After all, the wings are on them, so they can go wherever they want.
Then after the Silver Pegasus Knight is not on the main legion, you have no reason to be afraid of the Condor Air Force anymore!
After all, the only one who can pose a certain threat to the griffin beast is the Silver Pegasus Knight, which has a numerical advantage. The other Condor Air Forces, whether they are owl warriors or angel warriors, are not opponents of the griffin beast.
When those Silver Pegasus Knights are gone, the flying legion under your command is obviously dominant, both in terms of quality and quantity.
So if you, Dongfang Liang, still want to watch the fun and do not take the initiative to attack, it would be a bit unreasonable, because the Eagle Empire is the number one enemy of the entire Northern Expedition Alliance, and it is still a kind of life and death.
Seeing that Li Yufeng not only saw through his tricks, but also turned himself in the army, Dongfang Liang suddenly felt something blocked by his throat, and he didn't say a word for a while.
As Li Yufeng said, if the Silver Pegasus Knights under Ning Yuan's command are separated from the main force, then he will immediately have a very obvious advantage in terms of quality and quantity.
At this time, as long as he gave his order, he would definitely be able to kill the Condor Air Force, which lacked the Silver Pegasus Knights.
But if he kills one thousand enemies and loses himself by 800, even if the griffin beast takes the lead in charge, he will suffer a lot of casualties after a battle in the air.
And if the Silver Pegasus Knights return to support in time when the fierce battle is in full swing, there will be more casualties on his side. After all, the two flying legions are not so easy to get out of the battle after entering close-knit melee combat.
The Condor Eagle Empire now has many soldiers and a wide range of generals. Losing a little force is not a serious matter for them, but it is different on his side.
Now there is only such a single Miaomiao Flying Corps left in the entire Northern Expedition Alliance. If one person dies on their side, they will lose one point of combat effectiveness, and it is difficult to get timely supplementary in a short period of time.
After all, the griffin beast cubs and the children of the owl clan need a certain amount of time to grow up to be completely adult.
So even if they are obviously superior to their side in terms of death, the final result will be even more unfavorable to their side.
Because the Condor Empire is not short of reserve troops, they will soon replenish the army to full capacity.
As the situation rises and falls, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to them.
So from beginning to end, Dongfang Liang was trying every means to avoid a large-scale battle with the Condor Air Force.
However, after Li Yufeng saw through his tricks, he either gave up the huge temptation of Beixiangyang City and Yuliangzhou and chose to protect himself; or he was competing for his character, betting that Ning Yuan would not dare to let the Silver Pegasus Knights break away from the main force and act alone.
As for what choice to make, it depends on whether the chips Li Yufeng has opened up have a greater temptation to him or the pressure on him by the Condor Empire.
"Okay, Brother Li, I promise you that as long as the main force of the Silver Pegasus Knights is not with the main force of the Condor Air Force, I will immediately lead my army to launch an attack on the Condor Air Force, which is missing the Silver Pegasus Knights until the Silver Pegasus Knights return to the aid.
If you are satisfied with my reply, then we will sign a contract now, and I will arrange for the army to support Xiangyang immediately."
After being silent for a long time, Dongfang Liang spoke and gave his own answer.
In the end, he still couldn't resist the huge temptation to recover Beixiangyang City and Yuliangzhou.
"Okay, one word is certain."
Seeing that Dongfang Liang nodded and agreed, Li Yufeng also readily agreed to the other party's request.
Chapter completed!
