Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2079 The Potential of Angle

   "What, only half?"

   Liu Xing looked at Zhang Jingxu in disbelief, because in Liu Xing's opinion, there should not be so few supporters for the new city lord.

   "That's right, at most about half of the sects have chosen to support the new city lord, but half of the remaining half belong to the wall, and no decision has been made yet."

Zhang Jingxu said seriously: "The reason is also very simple, that is, Guo Er's identity is still not recognized by everyone, so everyone is not very convinced of him, especially after the third son died suddenly due to illness, everyone is not convinced of this Guo Er became suspicious, thinking that he had something to do with this matter, so the person who had a good relationship with the third son before stood on the opposite side of Guo Er. After all, it is normal for a rabbit to die and a fox to be sad, and the other two sons The supporters were also at a loss, so some of them chose to be neutral, while the rest joined the camp against Guo Er."

"That's true. I also know a little about the third son of the old city lord's family. His ability is not bad, and his physical fitness is also quite good, so it seems a bit strange that he died suddenly due to illness. If it was me, I would It is suspected that this is what Guo Er did."

Yu Lei held a jug and said: "As we all know, if something happens to the three former sons of Boyang City, the only beneficiary will be Guo Er who came suddenly, and Guo Er suddenly became the new city lord. On the surface, it’s all unreasonable. After all, Boyang City has formed a new set of rules for so many years, and the three young masters have been competing for the position of the new city lord according to this new rule! As a result, you Guo Er If you ignore this new rule and become the new city lord, then anyone will feel uncomfortable."

Liu Xing nodded, and said with a puzzled look: "So why did this Guo Er directly become the new city lord? This incident was a bit too sudden, and the three young masters didn't say anything, so they just gave up. As a result, the three young masters suddenly had an accident, and died of the most inexplicable illness, which made this matter even more confusing."

"yes."

Yu Lei took a sip of wine, looking at the moon outside the window, wondering what he was thinking, while Liu Xing and the two were also drinking tea in silence, while thinking about a question - did Guo Er attack the third son of Boyang City? .

   But not long after, Liu Xing suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, the third son did not die of illness!

   Feign death?

Liu Xing frowned, and said: "Brother Yu, didn't we discuss that Guo Er might be the subordinate of another prince, and this time he came to Boyang City to become the city lord just to be a dark guy, ready to stab three people in the back at any time?" Prince! If this is the case, then those who support Guo Er as the new city lord are probably also subordinates of the prince, or we can simply believe that Feishimen is the subordinate of the prince from the beginning to the end. Among them are the three sons."

"Then the problem is obvious. The third son did not really die of illness, but Guo Er wanted to use his fake death to judge the attitude of other sects in Boyang City. A one-step plan—start to suppress those sects that do not support you, and find a way to get these sects to leave Boyang City, so that Guo Er can completely control everything in Boyang City at the right time, and cut off all connections between us and the south of Boyang City ! At the same time as the enemy's bridgehead."

When Yu Lei heard Liu Xing's words, his eyes became sharp all of a sudden, "A Peng, what you said is very reasonable. If Guo Er wants to completely control Boyang City, the biggest resistance is Wutai and other sects. , because their strength should not be underestimated, and a sect like Feishimen, which mainly focuses on hidden weapons, is still at a disadvantage in the melee, not to mention that Feishimen doesn't have many masters on the bright side; so the three If the young master is also on Guo Er's side, then they can indeed cooperate with Guo Er to test the attitudes of the various sects."

"After all, these three young masters also had some friendship with these sects before, so the sudden death of the three young masters will definitely cause a lot of discussions. The most common problem is that the situation in Boyang City has stabilized now, and Guo Er has successfully become a The new city lord, then it is time for a new official to take office and three fires, and will the three fires burn on his own head? Especially for people like Guo Er who have no foundation in Boyang City, it stands to reason Said that he has to win over a group of people in Boyang City, let them become his team, and help him gain a firm foothold in Boyang City."

"But just like this jug of wine, if the three of us want to drink, then you, Peng, have to drink more, and Xiao Xiami and I have to drink less! But the three of us are brothers, so we have already discussed it. How to drink this pot of wine, so there will be no conflicts. Even if someone greedily drinks a small sip, he can get it back from other places. For example, if we want another pot of wine later, you Just have to drink less."

"But now another person suddenly appeared, he kicked A Peng away as soon as he came up, and then said that he would drink with us, so in theory, we only need to give him the share of A Peng's wine Drink, but in practice it is impossible, because this person is obviously not a good person, and he also showed his martial arts at the beginning, so Xiao Xiami and I have to give him a little bit, Or join hands to avenge Ah Peng! But, Xiao Xiami and I are just friends, so we want to join forces but we don't trust each other."

   "If I were a newcomer, then I would choose to attack one by one, before the two of you really stand on the same side." Liu Xing said decisively.

Yu Lei sighed, nodded and said: "If there are no accidents, Guo Er will soon attack those sects that oppose him, so as to consolidate his position! So I have to go to Wutai now, and I will Talk to an old friend of mine about this issue, let him stare at Guo Er a little bit, we can't let Guo Er dominate the family so easily!"

  Yu Lei put down the jug, turned over the window and left.

After Yu Lei left, Zhang Jingxu began to change his face, "It's a bit troublesome now, the old head seems to be planning to support this Guo Er, because he had a long talk with Guo Er two days ago, and when Guo Er left Both of them smiled from the bottom of their hearts! This is the conclusion I came to after a psychological judgment, so I think I have reason to think that they have reached a consensus... If this is the case, then I will It is possible that you and Liu Xing have become enemies, after all, the old head has already regarded me as his personal disciple."

   "What! Zhang Jingxu, you actually want to betray me!"

  Looking at Liu Xing, who suddenly turned into an actor, Zhang Jingxu rolled his eyes and said, "Liu Xing, don't act at this time, there are no other people watching."

  Just as Liu Xing was about to speak, a female voice sounded outside the door, "Uh, I said I just arrived at the door, will you believe me?"

  Hearing this voice, Liu Xing subconsciously took out a dagger from under the table, because this female voice sounded very strange to Liu Xing.

  However, Zhang Jingxu was very calm. First, he pressed down with one hand to signal Liu Xing not to be nervous, and then he got up and went to open the door.

   Seeing this situation, Liu Xing knew that this female voice should be an acquaintance of Zhang Jingxu, and also a player in the alliance.

   After this person came in, Liu Xing realized that she looked a little familiar. Zhang Jingxu seemed to have introduced her to him before, because like Zhang Jingxu, she was a special player with a mission.

   "Ling Yi, leader, you should still remember."

  Zhang Jingxu said: "She has made new progress in her special mission now, so I asked her to come to meet with you, because she will need our help very much in the future."

  Ayi?

Liu Xing looked at Ling Yi with a smile on his face, nodded and said: "I see, then I'll hear what you need from us, Miss A Yi! Since you are a member of our alliance, we must help you if we can." helped."

Ling Yi didn't talk nonsense, and went directly to the topic and said: "The thing is like this, I have passed the master's assessment in the past two days, so if there is no accident, I will be able to leave the teacher directly in two days, and then I will Go to Far West City and stand by!"

   "Far West?!"

Liu Xing frowned, took a breath and said, "Far West City itself can be described as precarious, and many people chose to leave, especially the disciples of those sects, most of them chose to go home to rest, so It’s really not that difficult to win Far West City now.”

"Yes, according to my master, they have the strength to take down Far West City, but it is more difficult to control Far West City, because they don't have many people, and they belong to the kind that has quality but not quantity, so take It's easy to go down to the Far West City, but it's impossible to defend the Far West City, not to mention the Governor An of the Far West City is a staunch supporter of the Third Prince, so he can't choose to surrender."

Ling Yi said seriously: "So I'm not sure what my master and the others think, but as long as there are no accidents, we should win the Far West City in the future and cause some troubles for the third prince, otherwise we won't They specially sent me to stay in Far West City."

   "Then the question is, is Far West really important?"

Zhang Jingxu directly followed Ling Yi's words and said: "We have actually discussed the situation of Far West City before. The first point is that it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, because Far West City does not have many defensive methods, not even a gate! So as long as the attacker's strength Don't be too weak, then you can take Far West City steadily; therefore, for the attacker, the only advantage of taking Far West City is that the remaining materials in the city can be used by yourself, which can lay a certain foundation for attacking the next target , but as long as the offensive side is well prepared, then it is dispensable.”

"So in my opinion, winning Far West City can only be described as tasteless, that is, it's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to discard it. If it's easy, it can be captured, and it doesn't need the assistance of Ayi and others. After all, even if it is a serious siege, it won't lose much troops, but after using dark men like Ayi and the others, the success rate of the next operation will be greatly reduced! Therefore, if I am the commander of the attacking side Or, then I will not let Ah Yi and the others take action unless it is absolutely necessary."

Liu Xing agreed with Zhang Jingxu very much, so he nodded and said: "That's right, some methods are just one effort, then decline, and three are exhausted, so these methods have to be used at the right time to maximize the benefits! Therefore, I I think Ah Yi used to be an undercover agent, and she would stand up and provide intelligence to the enemy when needed! So..."

   Before Liu Xing finished speaking, an idea popped up in his mind.

  So Liu Xing looked at the smiling Zhang Jingxu and Ling Yi, and knew that his thoughts were with them.

"If our previous guess is correct, then Ayi and you are the people of the former prince, so if the forces left by the former prince don't want to rely on others, they should take this opportunity to make a comeback, that is, take down a few After the city, the banner of the former prince was raised again, and he became a vassal of the separatist side; therefore, we can boldly guess that Guo Er may not be under the command of a certain prince, but served under the command of the former prince. It can be traced back to the period of the former prince, or Feishimen is also the dark child left by the former prince."

"If I were the prince of the previous dynasty, when the general situation was gone, I might let some sects loyal to me stand up and take some cities, so as to become the city lords or important members of these cities. You can come out of the city and change the king's banner! But it's not a good thing to take down such an isolated city, it's easy to be surrounded and wiped out, so I have to take down other surrounding cities at the same time, so that Several cities can be connected into one, so that there is more space for maneuvering."

Liu Xing picked up the cups on the table and began to regard them as cities, "If Boyang City is the center, then Far West City must be the primary target, because it is not difficult at all to win Far West City, and Far West City Those supplies are a great supplement to the former prince’s side. After all, they didn’t have a single city a few days ago, so naturally they couldn’t prepare such a complete set of supplies! It is not difficult to say, because the power they have accumulated in the dark cannot be underestimated."

"Leader, you are right. There is only one road from Boyang City to Yuanxi City, so after the princes of the former dynasty take these two cities, they can fight each other, even if they are facing two princes at the same time. The soldiers and horses in the army also have room to maneuver." Ling Yi nodded and said.
