Chapter 915 Using oneself as a nest?
If the vertical alliance is to unite the weak against the strong, then the horizontal alliance is to unite one country (usually a stronger country) and then attack other weak countries one by one. To some extent, the two are opposites, and it seems that the horizontal alliance is far inferior to the vertical alliance, since there are very few countries to cooperate with, usually only one.
As for the detailed implementation process of the alliance strategy, to put it simply, it is "a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, a slap followed by a sweet date," that is, using both soft and hard tactics, and implementing it in a two-pronged approach.
The strategy of "horizontal alliance" was first proposed by Zhang Yi after the "vertical alliance" emerged. Therefore, it can be said that the initial purpose of the horizontal alliance was to dismantle the vertical alliance strategy. Thus, the horizontal alliance was able to make good use of it and pay attention to what the vertical alliance lacked.
For example, although the six eastern states formed an alliance to resist Qin, due to the terrain, these states were located at varying distances from Qin. Those that were closer to Qin were afraid of Qin, while those that were farther away were not vigilant.
While it appears to be a conflict between six states against Qin, in reality, the main forces were Han, Zhao, and Wei, while the other states mostly remained on the sidelines.
Therefore, the Vertical Alliance was quite loose and could be easily defeated one by one. Zhang Yi's Horizontal Alliance was to take advantage of the Vertical Alliance's weakness, namely the lack of unity among the people, to sow discord among the six states and dismantle the alliance.
Unfortunately, this situation is based on the situation during the Warring States period, not the situation Su Ye is in now.
Who are the people surrounding Su Ye now?
Cao Cao, the Emperor Wu of Wei! Li Shimin, the Grand General of Heavenly Strategy! Zhu Yuanzhang, who unified the country! ...
This group may have its share of infighting, but before achieving their goals, they all have the courage and ability to suppress all the unstable elements within the alliance.
Once they form an alliance, the strategy of forming a horizontal alliance, which Qin used in the past, will have very limited effect on them until Su Ye is completely defeated!
"Ugh, this is really a headache."
Su Ye sighed, rubbed his temples, and tried to calm himself down.
"Thirteen, oh Thirteen, what am I supposed to do now that you've caused such a scene?"
He walked to his desk, picked up the rolled-up letter again, and carefully examined Li Cunxiao's achievements. A sense of emotion welled up in his heart.
"Do I really have to personally take to the field, create the nest myself, and unleash the full power of Xuanwu's abilities?"
A thought flashed through Su Ye's mind, but he shook his head. As the Duke of Zhenguo, he held a noble status. If he were to personally take action, it would undoubtedly attract more suspicion and attention, which was not the outcome he desired.
"Phew... System, use one of those three Saint-level attribute summoning cards in my inventory."
Su Ye slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and gave instructions to the system in his mind.
Now we can only hope that these three Saint-level attribute summoning cards will be powerful enough to summon a top-tier war god that meets the requirements.
If all else fails, then we'll have to let Xuanwu and Zhuque go up together. It'll look bad, but there's no other way.
"Ding! A Saint-level attribute summoning card is being used. The system will provide a list of five characters. Please remove two and summon one character randomly from the remaining three."
"Summoning in progress, please wait..."
"Ding! The number one Saint-level attribute summoner, the fierce general Yue Yun, Commander 75, Martial Prowess 106, Politics 66, Intelligence 72."
Ok?
Ying Guanren Yue Yun!
Following the updates on Cola Novels has never been so enjoyable.
As one of the most outstanding generals in Yue Family Army in the complete biography of Yue Yun, Yue Yun learned martial arts from a young age. He joined the army at the age of 12 and was assigned to the troops of his father's general Zhang Xian, becoming a soldier. He studied and practiced diligently day and night, and inherited his father's style.
Once, young Yue Yun was practicing mountain climbing with his soldiers when his horse stumbled and he fell to the ground. His father, Yue Fei, was furious and accused Yue Yun of not practicing diligently, which would delay important matters. He immediately ordered Yue Yun to be beheaded.
At the urging of his soldiers, Yue Yun was given 100 lashes, which motivated him to train even harder and develop a body of steel.
In the fourth year of the Shaoxing era, 16-year-old Yue Yun accompanied his father on a military expedition, recovering Suizhou and Dengzhou. In this battle, Yue Yun charged ahead with unstoppable courage, becoming the first to scale the city of Suizhou, which had been under siege for a long time. Later, he followed the army on a northern expedition, recovering Dengzhou and earning the reputation of "Ying Guanren" (Guanren was a respectful title for men in the Song Dynasty, and "Ying" here means to be invincible).
After that, Yue Yun made great contributions in many battles, and although his father often concealed his merits from him, Yue Yun had no complaints.
In the tenth year of the Shaoxing era, Jin Wuzhu led his army to invade the south and fought a major battle with Yue Fei's army at Yancheng.
Yue Yun took the lead, charging into the enemy lines with the Beiwei Army cavalry, fighting bravely and making great contributions to the victory in this decisive battle.
Shortly after the defeat at Yancheng, the Jin army received reinforcements and attacked Yingchang with 100,000 troops. The Yue Family Army defending the city numbered about 30,000.
Yue Fei ordered Yue Yun to lead a portion of the Beiwei Army to provide reinforcements. On that day, Yue Yun led his troops in a fierce battle through the Jin army's ranks. The commander, Wang Gui, was initially afraid to fight and wanted to retreat due to the enemy's superior numbers, but Yue Yun firmly refused.
After half a day of fierce fighting, the morale of the Jin soldiers was low. Taking advantage of this, the 5000-strong Yue Family Army left behind opened the city gates and launched a counterattack, defeating the Jin soldiers in one fell swoop.
In this battle, Wuzhu's son-in-law Xia Jinwu was killed, and 78 Jin army leaders of all ranks were captured alive. Countless enemy soldiers were killed and weapons were seized.
Of course, no matter how strong Yue Yun is, he is only a beginner-level War God. Among Saint-level Summoning Cards, he is almost the lowest level, the lowest of the low.
However, although his own abilities are not particularly noteworthy, his background is.
"Ying Guanren" Yue Yun - son of "Wumu" Yue Fei!
This means that if Yue Yun could be summoned, then as Yue Fei's son, he could very well bring Yue Fei out with him by virtue of this relationship!
As for Yue Fei's abilities, there's no need to elaborate. As long as he was born, his command ability would be guaranteed to be at least 102.
In other words, if you summon Yue Yun, you are guaranteed to receive at least a beginner-level War God and a top-level Saint-level commander, Yue Fei.
If Yue Yun were even luckier, he might be able to bring along the other fierce generals of the Yue Family Army from the Complete Biography of Yue Yunpeng.
That means that a Saint-level attribute summoning card can summon a top-level Saint-level attribute character plus several Saint-level combatants of varying levels!
It's like Qin Shi Huang touching a telephone pole – he's won so badly he's completely overwhelmed!
"Ding! Second Saint-level attribute summoner, the legendary Yi who shot down nine suns, with Command 81, Strength 109, Politics 72, Intelligence 81."
Yi shot down nine suns—Da Yi!
Yes, Da Yi and Hou Yi are not the same person!
The *Huainanzi*, in its chapter "Benjingxun," states: "During the time of Yao, ten suns appeared simultaneously, scorching the crops and killing the vegetation, leaving the people with nothing to eat. The Yayu, Zaochi, Jiuying, Dafeng, Fengxi, and Xiushui all became scourges upon the people. Yao then sent Yi to slay Zaochi in the fields of Chouhua, kill Jiuying above the Xiongshui River, capture Dafeng in the marshes of Qingqiu, shoot down the ten suns and kill the Yayu, sever the Xiushui in Dongting Lake, and capture Fengxi in the mulberry forest. All the people rejoiced and made Yao their emperor."
