Chapter 2574 Chaos Re-emerges in Xiliang, Famous Generals Leave the Capital

"This is the NPC force from the China region!!" Shinji Ishimoto immediately recognized it.

"And he wasn't one of Lin Mu's generals..."

As the biggest fundraiser today, he is very sensitive to certain information and studies the data of his competitors, especially those in the China region.

"Dong Zhuo's army!!" After recalling the events in his mind, he actually guessed the true identity of the group.

“There must be something good on Ji Beiqin that attracted Dong Zhuo. Currently, an epic historical storyline is unfolding in the China region, and the protagonist is Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo is currently at his most powerful, yet he is still so eager to hunt down Ji Beiqin, which shows his allure.” Shinji Ishimoto’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Shinji, I feel like you're the real analysis genius that's all over the internet!"

"Wow, that's impressive, bro," the henchmen behind Shinji Ishimoto said, flattering him.

“What are these tricks… I’m worried about Lin Mu now. He’s surrounded by gods and tigers. I wonder if he’ll be wiped out on Mount Fuji…” Shinji Ishimoto said quietly.

"That's perfect, let Lin Mu bleed a lot."

"That's right. Without Lin Mu, the China region is leaderless. That will be the time for us to launch a full-scale counterattack."

"You guys... this isn't a world of life and death, but a world intertwined with interests. Is the Yamata no Orochi really good for our Eastern Region? Based on the information I've gathered, I've concluded that the Yamata no Orochi is the true root of our Eastern Region's calamity," Shinji Ishimoto said in a deep voice, his head bowed.

"What?!" Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

"Our Eastern Japan region is also experiencing an epic historical event—the Warring States Period—but its root cause was instigated by the Yamata no Orochi. I predict that after the Warring States Period historical event, there will be a historical event to defeat the Yamata no Orochi, and after that, there may be a war to unify the entire country..."

"If the Yamata no Orochi is truly killed by Lin Mu, then the historical process of our Eastern Japan region will be greatly advanced, and perhaps a turning point will appear," Shinji Ishimoto said slowly.

"But Lin Mu led the China region to invade our Japan region, plundered so many resources and treasures, breached so many cities, and completely submerged Seven-Tailed City in the tide of history. Now he's coming to kill our national guardian beast, and we're supposed to be grateful to him?" Fukuhara Kazusarou said indignantly.

"Resources and treasures... Heh, if our historical progress in the Eastern Sea advances significantly, we'll definitely accumulate them quickly. The resources of the endless sea are inexhaustible. If a city falls, we can just rebuild it; it's just the name of a city. As for the national guardian beast... If the national strength is gone, so be it... Also, without the Yamata no Orochi, does that mean our Eastern Sea region will lack top-tier combat power? No... I feel that even more powerful combat forces might appear later in the story. If our Eastern Sea region can blast them out in advance, it might be beneficial..."

"You mean...Takamagahara?!?!"

"right……"

"Alright, I'm logging off now. I'm going to China to finalize those spots as soon as possible so everyone can protect themselves. That's what I promised you," Shinji Ishimoto said in a deep voice.

"Brother Shen is so generous! From now on, we will follow Brother Shen wholeheartedly."

"Yes...our group follows Brother Shen's lead."

"Sanlang, you and the brothers continue working on that plan... If you need any help, perhaps we can contact Lin Mu!"

“Brother Shen, that’s a national-level mission for our Eastern Japan region to open up the Yellow Springs Kingdom. Are we really going to bring in this vicious tiger, Lin Mu?” Fukuhara Kazusarou said unwillingly.

“We shouldn’t reveal too much information; we should just have him help us fight the boss… We need to learn to use the enemy’s power to overcome the mountains we can’t currently conquer,” Shinji Ishimoto said philosophically.

However, his words did have a magical power, convincing many people.

"Hosono Yuta, you take your team and continue to follow Lin Mu and gather information," Ishimoto Shinji instructed again.

"Tie!"

"Alright, everyone, let's get busy! If we work together, we'll definitely take our Huangquan City's journey to becoming a shining star in the world even further!!!"

The crowd quickly dispersed...

……

After entering the capital, Dong Zhuo quickly gained a foothold in the court with the help of his Xiliang army and Flying Bear Divine Army. However, he did not do many excessive things, except for the assassination of the national guardian beast, the Crimson Dragon.

Although Yang Biao, Lu Zhi, and others still harbored deep suspicion towards Dong Zhuo, they were not so desperate as to want to eliminate him at all costs.

Although Dong Zhuo also secretly sold official positions, Empress Dowager He, who was now in power, was doing the same thing, so it couldn't be considered a major act of treason.

The new national guardian beast, the Heavenly Black Dragon, did not cause any major incidents after taking power, and like the Crimson Dragon, it lived a secluded life.

With the land becoming less barren, things are now thriving in the imperial court.

As for the conflict between Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan, wasn't it also orchestrated by certain people in secret?

However, a change has occurred in the court today.

The rebellion in Liangzhou took another turn.

During the rebellion in Xiliang, Lin Mu made a brief appearance there, even causing a strange incident that sent chills down the spines of Li Wenhou, Beigong Boyu, and others. After that, Lin Mu didn't intervene in the war there again, only occasionally paying attention. After all, the manpower and resources in the Great Wilderness territory were limited; the plans for Yangzhou, Youzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou were the priority.

Lin Mu did not aggressively intervene in the rebellion in Xiliang, but player factions such as Jiang Chenglong did, gaining considerable merit and profits by following Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, and others. Afterwards, they followed Dong Zhuo to the capital, where they were thoroughly outmaneuvered by him.

Without Lin Mu's interference, the rebellion in Xiliang would have unfolded much like the actual course of history.

The warlord, Han Sui, who was initially kidnapped by Bei Gong Boyu and his group and threatened to take control of the military and political affairs, and who was the one who attracted hatred at the forefront, eliminated three key figures in the Western Liang Rebellion: Bian Zhang, Bei Gong Boyu, and Li Wenhou!

Later, Ma Teng also rebelled, joining forces with Han Sui and Wang Guo, who called himself "General of the Alliance." The group elected Wang Guo as their commander-in-chief, and he led his troops to raid the Three Auxiliary Regions.

In this process, players have participated in many battles, both large and small. Many players who want to get to know and recruit Ma Chao have put in a lot of effort to build their relationships, only to find that Ma Chao is nowhere to be found by Ma Teng's side.

Ma Chao did not accompany his father on the expedition. Players believe that Ma Chao may not have been born yet at this time.

In the sixth year of Zhongping (189 AD), before Dong Zhuo entered the capital this year, the Kingdom was defeated by the army sent by the court, and Ma Teng, Han Sui and others then deposed the Kingdom.

Han Sui and Ma Teng officially started their own business and became big bosses!

The two men took control of most of the rebel forces in Liangzhou and fought against the Han army, thus officially stepping onto the historical stage.

Of course, starting a business is not that simple; you need partners to support you and capital. In order to make their businesses successful, Han Sui and Ma Teng had to win over some important figures as business partners.

The purpose of their venture was to control Liangzhou. The two conspired to win over Yan Zhong, a prominent figure in Liangzhou, because the Yan family was even more powerful than the Yuan family, and many people respected them. Yan Zhong was currently the head of the Yan family.

They resorted to their usual threats, threatening Yan Zhong to become the rebel leader—though only nominally. This would greatly help them to completely control Liangzhou.

And so the turmoil of the Western Liang went on for several years. It felt like a big battle, but in reality it wasn't that big, much smaller than the Yellow Turban Rebellion. But it did seem to have some significance, since Liangzhou had been divided up and occupied long ago.

During today's court assembly, news came from Liangzhou that Yan Zhong, a renowned scholar from Liangzhou, had been kidnapped by the rebel warlords Ma Teng and Han Sui and had become the leader of the Western Liang rebels, leading the entire Liangzhou rebel army to attack Sili. The chaos of war has once again spread to the old capital, Chang'an!

Ma Teng and his men raided the Three Auxiliary Regions again, simply because they were out of food. The poverty of the land didn't actually affect Liangzhou as much as other provinces, mainly because it was already short of water and had poor soil.

Originally, Ma Teng and Han Sui had already accepted the offer of surrender once. After accepting the offer from the imperial court, they happily returned to their hometown with grain.

However, for various reasons, they rebelled again. The reason? Those officials in Liangzhou were too corrupt...

Later, the two were pardoned...

The road to entrepreneurship is full of hardships. However, the title of King of Xiliang, which he repeatedly changed, spread far and wide.

And here we are again, the rebels in Liangzhou have rebelled. The reason is the same: they've run out of food!

The rebel army of Xiliang is still very fierce in combat, and has already reached the capital city of Chang'an.

Wangcheng Chang'an immediately sent a message to Shendu (the capital) requesting reinforcements, hoping to send troops to defend Chang'an and even completely annihilate the rebel army that had seized control of Liangzhou.

And so, the bustling atmosphere of the imperial market returned. Some urged Dong Zhuo's army to rush to the rescue, others ordered Ding Yuan's army to garrison and quell the rebellion, while still others called upon the renowned generals Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song to lead troops into battle…

In short, some people want foreign troops and skilled generals to leave the capital...

It should be noted that, in addition to the rebellion in Liangzhou, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Rebellion have been causing trouble in various prefectures and counties, and in some places they have even gained considerable influence. Recently, they have even submitted a memorial to the capital, where discussions have been held, hoping that Dong Zhuo or Ding Yuan and others will lead troops to quell the rebellion.

Unfortunately, in the end, there was no result.

Now the chaos in Xiliang has returned...

The imperial court was filled with various opinions, but each opinion represented the interests of a certain faction, so no one would easily compromise.

Some suggested that Dong Zhuo be appointed General Who Conquers the West to lead an expedition to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou, but Dong Zhuo refused to leave...

Some suggested that Ding Yuan lead the expedition as General Who Conquers the West, but Ding Yuan existed to balance Dong Zhuo, and Yang Biao, Lu Zhi, and others were unwilling to let Ding Yuan leave easily.

Some recommended General Lin Mu, suggesting he dispatch troops from Youzhou to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion. However, others argued that Lin Mu's achievements were already too great, and if the rebellion were successfully quelled, things would become unpredictable…

In short, the suppression of the rebellion was delayed.

Later, the situation in Chang'an deteriorated, and as a last resort, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were dispatched to lead troops to garrison Chang'an.

The troops brought by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun consisted partly of soldiers rebuilt from the Five Schools of the Capital and partly of soldiers previously recruited. Their combat strength was not high, but they should be able to defend Chang'an without any problems.

Thus, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, two famous generals at the end of the Han Dynasty, were separated from Shen Du, along with some of Shen Du's troops.
