Three Kingdoms Mythology World.
Chapter 2499 Epic Historical Mission: [Dragon Slaying]
After seeing the attributes that were far superior to the heart of their own territorial city, they all gasped.
With such city attributes, it is so backward in development. These NPCs are really just taking up space and doing nothing!
Is this a gift from the system to the players?
In fact, in terms of overall combat power, the city defense army is still stronger. Even if the city defense army is slack in training and armaments, their strength is there, and the player's growth cannot compare with them. Although they have more people, their strength is a little worse. In addition, there are family soldiers from the major families in the city, so the player still does not have a particularly big advantage in siege.
It is very difficult for players to capture the city by force of attack.
But the players have a lot of clever ideas, and they often come up with strange methods. They use money to corrupt the city guards and city officials, and use various hidden means to catch people off guard. It is normal for them to capture the county.
However, variables still appeared...
Just as Luo Tiange and others were preparing to divide the cake, the messenger hurried in.
"President, President, the big families in the city have a combined army of 300,000, including many Heaven-rank and Earth-rank generals. They have killed hundreds of thousands of players... Most of the teams that went to plunder have been wiped out..."
"What?!!!" everyone was shocked.
How could such a remote little town still have such a strong military force?
Before, they only targeted officials and city guards, and did not consider the situations of the major families in the city. This time, they were in trouble.
"I told you a long time ago that after we take the city, we must treat the people in the city and those big families well, instead of draining them of their resources. Now, they have rebelled." Luo Tiange said with a gloomy face.
Although his Heaven and Hell Guild was also interested in the assets of the major families in the city, it was considering the long term and was not going to just shoot and leave.
As for the others, knowing that this was not their base, they frantically scrambled for benefits without any regard for the consequences.
Now it’s okay, the hidden boss has been exposed.
"Let's deal with the incident first and then discuss the division of benefits later." Luo Tiange said in a deep voice.
Originally, the division of interests had been discussed before the action was taken, but they did not discuss it in advance because they did not know whether they could really capture the city.
This attack on the city was just an attempt.
If successful, more system cities may be captured.
Lin Mu was the first to know about this incident in Qingzhou.
Lin Mu was not at all surprised by this situation. The top lord players were all making progress in the Divine Capital, while the second-tier lords, half of them followed behind to enjoy the benefits, and the other half, like Luo Tiange and his friends, started to make plans in remote places.
He divided the city into several parts and began to dominate the world.
Players jokingly say: Start with one city and want to swallow up the world!
Lin Mu knew that in the previous life, after the rules were disrupted, players discovered that attacking cities would not deduct reputation and they would not be hunted down by NPCs, so they began to expand frantically, wanting to occupy cities and entire counties.
Especially after Yuan Shao started a palace rebellion and the emperor disappeared, the rules changed, and countless monsters emerged, making the Han Dynasty even more chaotic and precarious.
Once the players find a breakthrough and a loophole in the Han Dynasty, they will rush in and madly tear apart this behemoth.
However...is it really that simple?
Even he, Lin Mu, only relied on the rules to slowly swallow up the counties and prefectures, and did not dare to launch a large-scale attack openly. The consequences were not something he could bear, nor were they something the players could bear.
Because the player forces that attack the city will become a stepping stone for the indigenous princes to step onto the stage of history!
When the county town of Qingzhou was occupied by aliens, officials at the prefecture, county and city levels were informed immediately. Some well-informed local families in Qingzhou were even more aware of the atrocities of the aliens.
Yiren wants to be the master of the house. Will the big families agree to that?
Even though the governor of Qingzhou was the great scholar Cai Yong, he was unable to govern Qingzhou well or save Qingzhou.
It is because the forces in Qingzhou are too mixed and the plans of all parties are intricate and complicated.
The prefects and county magistrates all obey orders but not announcements.
Money, grain, troops, recommendations, and supervision are all within the responsibilities of the Inspector. However, due to the rampant Yellow Turban remnants and bandits, the various governors had no surplus food and no troops to offer tribute, which led to chaos.
Cai Yong has been the governor of Qingzhou for some time. Except for Donglai County, which is under his control, other counties, especially the vassal states, are simply out of his control.
Cai Yong was completely unable to handle the incident in Le'an State, but he was blamed because some people had already reported the situation to the capital of the gods and impeached Cai Yong.
On the surface, Cai Yong is the head of Qingzhou Supervision and the person in charge of political affairs, and he bears the primary responsibility. The superiors don't care whether you can tame the subordinates or not, they only hold you, Cai Yong, accountable.
Fortunately, at this moment, the capital city Luoyang was attracted by the dispute between Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, so the Qingzhou incident was only hastily dealt with, and Cai Yong was only fined some of his salary.
At the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion, Taishi Ci was reporting the situation to the Governor Cai Yong.
"The lord has sent instructions that we can start infiltrating the Beihai Kingdom!" Taishi Ci said in a serious tone.
"Have the twelve cities in Donglai County been controlled?" Cai Yong asked with a changed expression.
"It's basically under control. Military Advisor Fengxiao has been planning in Donglai County recently. The situation has been initially stabilized."
"Eighteen counties in Beihai State... Forget it, you guys handle it..." Cai Yong sighed and waved his hand. At this moment, he felt that he, the governor, was a joke.
Although Lin Mu's people listened to him, they always had clear goals and tasks, and they worked towards their goals unswervingly.
The other counties were controlled by major families and would not even listen to him, so he was unable to carry out his work at all.
This situation is not an isolated case. It is the same in all provinces, unless there is assistance from local families, such as Yizhou and Jingzhou.
At present, Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, is doing well there. He has initially gained recognition from some local forces and is gradually opening up the situation.
Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, rode into Xiangyang alone and married into a local family, which also opened up the situation.
Cai Yong was different from them, so this was the case.
Especially due to the recent drought, the prestige of the governor has plummeted. Yizhou was not affected, and Jingzhou is a land of fish and rice, so no extreme situation occurred.
But it’s different in Qingzhou…
"Sir Governor, you are in Qingzhou Qi State and have direct jurisdiction over six cities. You can intervene directly. This time we already have spare troops and intelligence system support." Taishi Ci said meaningfully.
Cai Yong was slightly startled when he heard this: "Is this step too big..."
It takes a lot of power to control the twelve cities of Donglai County. Now we have to plan for the eighteen counties of Beihai State and the six cities of Qi State. Now half of the six counties of Qingzhou are about to fall into the control of the Great Wilderness Territory.
The whole of Yangzhou, most of Youzhou, part of Xuzhou, part of Qingzhou... this... this is too fast!!!
“Sir Governor, even Yangzhou cannot be said to be without problems. We only control the city’s military power and some political affairs. We have not dealt with the many great aristocratic families, wealthy families, and so on. There are still many hidden dangers. When unrest occurs, it is unknown what the situation will become…” Taishi Ci said in a low voice.
Except for Kuaiji County, which can be said to have no problems at all, other counties under control have hidden dangers, which is unavoidable under the current situation.
Only after the real battle for supremacy begins and real swords are wielded to eliminate hidden dangers can we say that we have complete control.
"You control all the counties and prefectures, and you have been constantly recruiting refugees. There are already many places where nine out of ten houses are empty." Cai Yong said slowly.
"Due to the drought disaster, many people have been displaced, and some are even eating their own children. We must intervene." Taishi Ci said in a deep voice.
If he wasn't afraid of exposing something, he actually wanted to spread the Seven-Li Shelter Pavilions throughout Donglai County.
"Alas... the cause and effect of everything is not borne by the initiator at all. In the end, the people are the ones who bear the consequences..." Cai Yong said with pity.
Hearing Cai Yong's words, Taishi Ci's mouth twitched. No wonder the lord had reminded him in advance that his father-in-law's personality was not suitable for military affairs, and he was only suitable for studying.
The Great Wilderness Territory did not provide much help to Cai Yong's influence on and control of Qingzhou. It just relied on the endorsement of the governor to execute the established goals more quickly.
While the two were talking, the messenger came in to report.
The report was about the changes in Liaocheng, Le'an State.
"Sure enough, both sides compromised..." Taishi Ci said lightly after listening to the report.
It turned out that after the players were taught a lesson by the local aristocratic gentry, they all became cowardly and started peaceful negotiations with them.
The negotiations went very smoothly, and the players accepted many of the conditions. For example, among the city officials, some positions must be held by the sons of local noble families. The shops in the city were still owned by the noble families.
As for the positions of county magistrate, city barracks, and military lieutenant, they can be controlled by the players.
In short, this is similar to the previous county magistrate situation, except that the county magistrate has changed.
It is impossible for players to truly exploit these big families and wealthy people, unless they can truly defeat them. In that case, their property will be available to players at will.
The end of the Liaocheng Rebellion finally came to an end, and the real turmoil began.
The middle and lower level player lords in the Huaxia region began to unite and attack the target cities they had set their eyes on.
For a time, the prices of military resources in the player trading market began to rise slightly.
As for the necessary food and fodder, their prices have always been high and they are extremely scarce.
In other regions, because there is no influence of the drought and due to the lack of spiritual energy, the crops have not been harvested once a month, and the production capacity is not high. However, they still started to think about trading grain across regions. After all, the price is more than ten times higher than that in this region, so they can make a lot of money!
The first to make an effort was Ah San's Buddhist country, which kept looking for Lin Mu, wanting to export food and grass to the Huaxia region. After all, their channel with the Huaxia region was not closed, and it was a natural channel for cooperation.
Lin Mu ignored this situation for the time being because he had bigger things to consider.
There was no other reason. On the third day after Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo had an appointment to fight, Lin Mu received a message from Ji Beiqin, saying that Dong Zhuo was about to take action.
Don’t attack Ding Yuan, but attack Chilong!
Dong Zhuo releases an epic historical mission: [Dragon Slaying]! ! ! !
Originally, Ji Beiqin had signed a contract with Dong Zhuo's army and would not reveal military intelligence, but this time, every player can know it.
After reading Ji Beiqin's message, Lin Mu sighed: "At this moment, Dong Zhuo has not yet reached the stubborn and self-righteous state that he will later become. He still listens to Li Ru and others. Even if his favorite general Hua Xiong was killed once, he could endure it. If he were in control of the power, he would have killed Ding Yuan long ago." (End of this chapter)
