After taking a sip of water, Ye Xiaoliang continued, "In terms of strength, the Central Province is undoubtedly the strongest. It's no exaggeration to say that the other eight provinces combined are no match for the Central Province!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiao fell silent again.
It seemed that the Central Province's strength had reached a certain level, and he didn't have enough strength now. He could only start with Youzhou and Bing Province in the north.
Ye Xiaoliang was still analyzing the situation in the Central Province. "In addition to the Central Province, the Jiao Province, Qing Province, and the Divine Land are the strongest. As for the other five provinces, they are much weaker. Even so, the other five provinces are much stronger than our Northern Region, and they have at least 10 Almighty Immortals!"
"OK, I see."
Lin Xiao nodded and said with a frown, "OK, let's talk about the other provinces first. Focus on the situation in Youzhou and Bing Province!"
Lin Xiao only had two choices if he wanted to send troops to the Central Province, either Youzhou or Bing Province. After all, among the nine provinces in the Central Province, only these two provinces bordered the Northern Region.
"The strength of Youzhou and Bing Province is about the same, but overall, Youzhou is slightly stronger. If we want to send troops to the Central Province, in my opinion, Bing Province is more suitable."
Ye Xiaoliang expressed his opinion. Then, as if he had thought of something, he said again, "Your Majesty, this is the result of my careful analysis. I didn't say this because of Xiaorou!"
"OK, I believe you!"
Lin Xiao nodded and smiled gently, indicating for Ye Xiaoliang to continue.
Ye Xiaoliang was very grateful for Lin Xiao's trust. He glanced at Lin Xiao and continued, "In fact, the reason I chose Bing Province is that Bing Province is very scattered, while Youzhou is very united."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiao was a little puzzled.
He had been to Youzhou before. In his opinion, the four families of Youzhou were in an alliance, but they were not united at all!
"There are 4 major forces in Youzhou City, namely the 4 major clans in Youzhou City. Although the 4 major clans often have internal conflicts, they are united as a whole. As long as they meet foreign enemies, the 4 major clans would definitely unite with each other rapidly!"
Ye Xiaoliang looked at Lin Xiao and explained, "The four major clans' motto is that Youzhou will always belong to the four major clans!
Therefore, the 4 major clans have done a good job. Additionally, the 4 major clans have extremely profound forces in all the major cities in Youzhou Province. They could not be easily shaken! "
"Yes."
Lin Xiao nodded as he recalled what he had encountered in Youzhou Province. Raising his eyebrows, he asked, "But the 4 major clans in Youzhou Province don't seem to be that powerful!"
"In the eyes of those who don't understand Youzhou, the 4 major clans might not be powerful. However, in fact, the 4 major clans in Youzhou City are not the real core forces of the 4 major clans!"
Ye Xiaoliang smiled slightly and said proudly, "According to my investigation, there is a sacred place in Youzhou called the Dragon Transformation Pool. It is said that the effect of cultivation there is very good. Therefore, the core forces of the 4 major clans cultivate in the Dragon Transformation Pool instead of in Youzhou City!
However, that place is very mysterious. Nobody knows the real location of the Dragon Transformation Pool! "
"I see!"
The Youzhou that most people saw was not the real Youzhou. Their misunderstanding of the strength of Youzhou might cause him to lose. Fortunately, Ye Xiaoliang was there. Otherwise, if he rashly attacked Youzhou, he would lose more than he gained!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao patted Ye Xiaoliang's shoulder and praised, "Brother Ye, you did a good job!
What's the situation in Bing Province? "
"Compared to the unity of Youzhou, the chaos in Bing Province is very obvious!
There are 5 major forces in Bing Province. Their strength is about the same, but the relationship between the 5 major forces is very bad. Unlike the internal strife of the 4 major clans, the internal strife between the 5 major forces is real. They have been fighting each other for years and have suffered heavy casualties! "
Ye Xiaoliang touched his chin and said, "In fact, the strength of Bing Province was originally stronger than Youzhou. However, due to the internal strife between the 5 major forces, Bing Province's strength has declined year by year. Now, its overall strength is not as good as Youzhou!"
Internal strife.
If that was the case, they could make good use of it.
Originally, Lin Xiao planned to use Sun Cha as a key point to magnify the internal strife between the 4 major clans to break into Youzhou. However, it seemed that Bing Province was more suitable.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao looked at Ye Xiaoliang and asked with raised eyebrows, "In Brother Ye's opinion, do you have any good ideas to attack Bing Province?"
"I'm afraid we have to consider this at length!"
Ye Xiaoliang hesitated for a moment before continuing, "The 5 major forces in Bing Province are not simple. They more or less have the shadow of a major force in Zhongzhou behind them!
If we really want to attack Bing Province, I'm afraid it won't be that simple. "
A major force in Zhongzhou!
One must know that the Central Province wasn't a place to be trifled with. With the current strength of the Great Spring Empire, they still couldn't fight the Central Province head-on. If they accidentally angered the forces of the Central Province while dealing with the Bing Province, everything would be somewhat difficult to deal with.
However...
Youzhou or Bing Province, they had to make a choice!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao looked at Ye Xiaoliang and said leisurely, "There must be a reason why the situation in the Central Region can be maintained. Whether it is Youzhou or Bing Province, they are both difficult to deal with. However, I think Bing Province is better!"
When he spoke up to here, Lin Xiao intentionally paused for a moment before he continued. "If we want to make a move against the central territory, then we have to have a good reason. Now that the Goldblade Sect of the Bing Province has destroyed your store and seized your woman, our Great Spring Dynasty can't take this lying down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Ye Xiaoliang nodded gratefully. At the same time, he consciously explained the situation of Jindao Sect, "I have learned about the situation of Jindao Sect!
Jindao Sect has a total of more than 3,000 disciples, among which there are three experts above the Almighty Celestial Stage. Two of them are at Level 4 of the Almighty Celestial Stage, and one is at Level 3 of the Almighty Celestial Stage!
There are more than 100 experts at the Golden Celestial Stage, and about 20 experts at the peak of the Golden Celestial Stage! "
Three Almighty Celestials!
More than 100 Golden Celestials!
As expected of a major force in the Central Region, their strength was not simple.
However, Lin Xiao now had two Almighty Celestials, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian. It should not be a problem to deal with three Almighty Celestials. As for experts at the Golden Celestial Stage, the Great Spring Empire was not short of them!
Therefore, Lin Xiao was still confident in dealing with Jindao Sect.
Nodding, Lin Xiao seemed to think of something and continued to ask, "By the way, when we were in the Central Beast Plain, have you found out who instigated the Giant Python Tribe to attack us?"
"Of course!"
Nodding, Ye Xiaoliang replied, "About this, I have specially investigated. It is one of the five major forces in Bing Province, the Beast Driving Sect. It is a branch of the Beast Sect, a major force in the Central Region!"
