Xingsheng Contracts, Northern Expansion Sacrificed to Preserve Core

Xingsheng Youxuan's northern expansion faces long odds; without favorable timing, location, and unity, startup challengers attacking capital-backed giants is like throwing eggs at stones. Despite having timing and unity, community e-commerce is dominated by location, which big players buy with cash for supply chains and order volume. Facing long supply lines, even talents like Zhuge Liang couldn't work wonders. Forcing northward expansion would drain national strength, ending like Liu Bei's Shu. Now, under capital's shadow, preserving strength and sacrificing pawns to save the rook is wise. Thus, Xingsheng may retreat from the Qinling-Huaihe line northward, contracting to provincial capitals to ensure overall health.
