Chapter 66: The Three Kingdoms is in chaos, the players have the final say
The next day, Yuan Shao went to his tent to discuss matters.
"Although Shao is not talented, I have been elected as the leader of the alliance by you all. Those who have made contributions must be rewarded, and those who have committed crimes must be punished. The state has its own laws, and the army has its own disciplines; everyone should abide by them and not violate them."
Everyone said in unison: "We will obey your orders."
Yuan Shao said: "My brother Yuan Shu is in charge of the food and grass. He should take care of all the camps and make sure they are not lacking. We need one more person to be the vanguard and go straight to Hulao Pass to challenge. The rest of the troops should take the strategic positions to provide support."
Du Shihao was the first to step forward, clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to be in the front."
Two months ago, Du Shihao broke through to the Qi Refining Stage, returned to the tribe to learn new skills, and also learned a few basic spells.
Killing Hua Xiong is easy.
Yuan Shao frowned.
Because of his distinguished birth, he attached great importance to family background and title. Although Du Shihao was also a prefect, he was an outsider after all and had no title.
Naturally, he was despised by Yuan Shao.
If Du Shihao is sent as the vanguard, wouldn't it seem that the Allied forces have no one?
When Changsha Governor Sun Jian saw this, he clasped his fists and said, "I am also willing to serve in the front."
Chu Zhongliu behind him looked at Du Shihao meaningfully.
A year and a half ago, Du Shihao, Wu Kui and Chu Zhongliu had to unite and cope with the pressure together because of Qin Mo's sudden appearance.
With the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the three men went their separate ways and the alliance disintegrated.
Especially since Qin Mo's brilliance was becoming more and more dazzling, he had long surpassed the category of ordinary players and was quietly advancing to the first-class level of princes. The three of them gradually gave up the idea of competing with Qin Mo.
Instead, there was a subtle competition between the three of them.
Hmm... Fighting for second place...
With Du Shihao's promotion to governor of Hejian, he immediately surpassed Wu Kui and Chu Zhongliu.
At this moment, seeing Du Shihao's setback, how could Chu Zhongliu not be happy when he could follow Sun Jian to fight again? With this battle, maybe he could be promoted to the position of governor.
Yuan Shao turned his worry into joy and said, "Wen Tai is brave and capable of taking on this task."
Du Shihao's face turned black...
The feeling of being ignored was really unpleasant, and he wanted to suddenly attack and kill Yuan Shao with one sword.
Of course, it's just a thought.
If Du Shihao really gets carried away, he might not be able to leave this room.
The plan was settled and everyone dispersed.
Qin Mo said nothing from beginning to end and did not strive to be the vanguard.
Just after returning to the camp, Wei Tianli was well-informed and had already learned the content of the meeting. He asked in confusion: "Why didn't you take the lead in the vanguard?"
With Qin Mo's current status, as long as he opens his mouth, no one can snatch it from him.
After vaguely realizing the extraordinary nature of "Honghuang", Wei Tianli's mentality became a little unbalanced. He began to worry about gains and losses, and urgently hoped to quickly gain experience points and level up quickly.
I’m afraid there’s not enough time.
Reading those fantasy novels, how many monks have regretted their whole lives because of running out of lifespan?
He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors.
Qin Mo frowned and glanced at Wei Tianli, who shuddered and said calmly, "What's the value of being the first to take the lead? It's not worth sacrificing the troops."
In Qin Mo's view, the campaign against Dong Zhuo was a battle that must be won. The key was not how to win, but how to gain enough benefits after the war.
How can I participate in everything?
After saying that,
Without waiting for Wei Tianli's reaction, he left.
Wei Tianli was left there, his face turned black, and he almost couldn't help exploding.
really,
If you play games, you have to endure the bullying of young people.
"Bear, bear, bear." Wei Tianli kept reminding himself to calm himself.
…
But Sun Jian received the order and led his troops directly to Hulao Pass.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Jian should have attacked Sishui Pass. But the fact is that Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass are the same pass fortress. There is no such thing as two passes.
Despite this, the plot direction has not changed.
Sun Jian won a small victory, and his general Cheng Pu stabbed Hua Xiong's deputy general Hu Zhen to death. He led his troops back to Liangdong and stationed them. He sent someone to report the victory to Yuan Shao and demanded food from Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu was worried that Sun Jian would capture Luoyang, so he refused to send food and fodder.
Hua Xiong received the report and followed Li Su's advice, preparing to attack Sun Jian's camp at night.
But this is destined to be in vain.
With Chu Zhongliu around, how could Hua Xiong succeed?
Chu Zhongliu was about to rush to the central military camp to warn Sun Jian that Hua Xiong might lead his troops to attack the camp, but he was stopped by a player on the way, who turned out to be Bao Bufan, the leader of the Yangzhou Xingxin Mercenary Group.
In Yangzhou, apart from the Truman Studio where Chu Zhongliu works , Xingxin is the best developed.
For this expedition, the Yangzhou Mercenary Group, led by Xingxin, organized a mercenary force of 5,000 people. For the sake of convenience, they were all registered under the name of Chu Zhongliu.
When Sun Jian led his troops to war, this mercenary army naturally followed.
"Is there anything wrong?" Chu Zhongliu asked.
"Are you going to remind Sun Jian that Hua Xiong is going to attack the camp tonight?" Bao Bufan said.
"yes."
"I think it's better not to remind them." Bao Bufan said.
"Why?" Chu Zhongliu was puzzled.
"Hua Xiong attacks the camp, let Sun Jian's troops hold out for a while, and then we take advantage of the chaos to break out. What do you think... will be the outcome?" Bao Bufan said dimly.
Natives like Yuan Shao don't treat players equally. Similarly, in the eyes of most players, these natives are not actually considered human beings.
It's just mutual exploitation, and there is no psychological burden in cheating each other.
It is just like the saying goes: "Whether the Three Kingdoms is in chaos or not is up to the players." With the power now available, how can the players tolerate the natives riding on their heads and shitting on them all the time?
Sooner or later, they will rise up and riot.
In this regard, Qin Mo, the number one player, has actually played a very good role in setting an example and taking the lead.
"Look how successful he is." Many players envy Qin Mo.
"..." Chu Zhongliu was worried about Sun Jian, Hua Xiong and the others, and said in embarrassment: "What if Sun Jian blames us after his death?"
Truman Studios and Sun Jian have long been deeply connected.
Bao Bufan sneered, "What's there to blame? Who could have guessed that Hua Xiong would attack the camp? Didn't Sun Jian guess it too? Even if we take a step back, after this battle, do you still want to be inferior to Sun Jian?"
"If that's the case, Brother Chu will probably never catch up with Du Shihao." Bao Bufan was murderous.
Chu Zhongliu's face flushed, and after struggling for a while, he shook his head and said, "No, I can't agree to this."
"Why?" This time it was Bao Bufan's turn to be surprised.
"If I really do this, the mercenaries will benefit, but what else can I get?" Chu Zhongliu figured out the key point, "Wouldn't it be more profitable for me to remind Sun Jian now?"
The two people have different standpoints, so naturally they look at things from different angles.
Chu Zhongliu was secretly alert. He almost fell into Bao Bufan's trap.
It’s really...human nature is so evil.
Bao Bufan remained calm and said leisurely, "What if Sun Jian also died in the chaos? In that case, wouldn't Brother Chu be able to gather the remaining troops of Sun Jian and take over?"
"Are you crazy? You actually want to kill Sun Jian?" Chu Zhongliu's voice was trembling with surprise.
"Why not?" Bao Bufan was puzzled. "Qin Mo killed Liu, Guan, and Zhang from the beginning. There is nothing different about the Three Kingdoms. The world will still turn around without anyone."
Chu Zhongliu's face was uncertain.
If what Bao Bufan said is true, then it is indeed a great opportunity for Truman.
Just taking a little risk.
"What about you? You have taken so much trouble to plan this, and it seems that I am the one who benefits the most. So, what do you want to gain from it? It can't be to do good deeds, right?" Chu Zhongliu was a little tempted.
"Brother Chu controls Jiangdong, which is the greatest support for us." Bao Bufan wanted to copy Qin Mo's Liaodong model and govern Jiangdong together with Chu Zhongliu.
Chu Zhongliu's eyes lit up.
