A year had passed since his rebirth, and in this year, Wang Chong had alteredSong had not fallen out of favor, and he had gotten involved in the Regional Co it different froards to his own faction, Wang Chong had sather people to his side He had also obtained the Hyderabad ore and Meteoric Metal, both strategic resources which could be used to 's concerns were now focused on the southwest
Zhangchou Jianqiong's transferral to the capital was already a done deal Xianyu Zhongtong was already in control of Jiange1 and had formally taken over the Annan Protectorate
The structure of the southwestern region of the e re had already borrowed the power of King Song to have his father's and brother's ar the southwest, ready to enter Jiannan at any time, that was all he could do
In the current e, Geshu Han, Fucha, Gao Xianzhi or any of the others, they were all extremely territorial
If he forcefully transferred his father and older brother into Jiange, he would attract the suspicions of Xianyu Zhongtong in the southwest and Zhangchou Jianqiong in the capital They would begin to wonder if the Wang Clan wanted to meddle in the southwest, snatch at their power, and weaken their strength
That would only acco Clan's strength did not extend to the southwest That was the concern of Zhangchou Jianqiong and Xianyu Zhongtong, and the region would not heed Wang Chong's orders And the Wang Clan was not so large that it could control one of the e orried
Although he already knew of the future dangers, there were far too few measures he could take If he acted too excessively, he would incur the hostility of Zhangchou Jianqiong and Xianyu Zhongtong That would just be walking faster to reach his goal slower, an unwelconore the massive impact and wound that the fate of the southould inflict on the e
Even the cleverest housewife couldn't cook without rice Even with the s he couldn't change
Wang Chong could only think of a way to fully utilize his feeble strength, to change those possible cala
In the roo's words
The threats to the empire weren't in the northwest, but the southwest? He had never heard anyone e that the southas the place on the borders of the eion had been peaceful for far too long In terms of level of conflicts and nu,insisted that the greatest threat to the empire came from the southwest
If this were another person, Li Siye wouldn't even entertain the notion He would probably just snort and call the, Li Siye ell aware that this youth in front of him could not be underestimated
"How do you know?" Li Siye asked, a doubtful look in his eyes
If Wang Chong had said that Andong or Longxi was the threat, he wouldn't have been surprised But the southwest…
The southas the place on the frontier of the empire where as least likely to break out!
"Ha! Li Siye, do you still not understand? The reason you asked this question is precisely the reason! The more unlikely a war is to take place there, the in to hile a new in to wax The southwest of the eotten lazy and so have the soldiers! Even you think that a war can't occur there, so how could anyone else! And do you think a slacking and unprepared ar and the Mengshe Zhao?" Wang Chong said
"But there's no reason for this Why would they do such a thing?" Li Siye said "The Mengshe Zhao and the e has never once penetrated into the Central Plains With Zhangchou and his one hundred and eighty thousand elites, Ü-Tsang will never succeed!"
Upon hearing Li Siye's words, Wang Chong gave a long sigh With regards to the situation in the enorant, but a cochou Jianqiong has already been transferred to the capital The current Annan Protector-General is Xianyu Zhongtong Moreover, the King of Mengshe Zhao, Geluofeng, is currently in touch with Ü-Tsang, coordinating a joint assault on the Great Tang! Ü-Tsang she Zhao?
"If the Mengshe Zhao and Ü-Tsang ally with each other, do you think that the one hundred and eighty thousand elites of the Annan Protectorate can stand against theshe Zhao and Ü-Tsang ally with each other and attack the Annan Protectorate together, then suppress Geshu Han's Big Dipper Arxi… If this sort of situation occurs, what do you think it will mean for the empire?"
Li Siye's mind reeled and his entire body was frozen as a chill suddenly encroached upon hiy, but he knew that if Wang Chong's scenario became reality, it would be a terrible calamity for both the southwest and the empire
The deployment of the empire's troops was not terribly cohtest ambition knew that the empire didn't deploy many troops to the southwest due to the lack of conflicts there
The one hundred and eighty thousand elites of the Annan Protectorate were the sole barrier of the southwest
