Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

Hanoi Commandery comprised eighteen cities, each wealthy and no less prosperous than the former Dongye County. The Great Wilderness Territory, with its nearly three million-strong army, swiftly conquered the vast Hanoi Commandery in just two months!
Every city was built step by step, and none of them surrendered. They always caused trouble for the Great Wilderness Territory and delayed its progress.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken two months...

The fall of Hanoi County shocked many feudal lords.

Even Liu Bei, who was on a distant expedition to the Buddhist kingdom, heard the news.

As the governor who was driven out of Hanoi Commandery by Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei had very mixed feelings upon hearing the news.

I thought I could cultivate this incredibly wealthy Hanoi district deeply, but it turned out to be just a fleeting pleasure...

It's worth noting that he used up a significant portion of his wealth to gain control of Hanoi and solidify his power base.

On the surface, he also pledged allegiance to Dong Zhuo and offered him a considerable amount of money and resources, but he was still abandoned.

This led to his risky attack on Mei County... If Dong Zhuo had continued to let him serve as the governor of Hanoi Commandery, he wouldn't have touched the Imperial Seal of the State even if it was in Mei County!
Moreover, if Ji Province continues to develop in this way, wouldn't Liu Bei become the vanguard of Dong Zhuo's camp in resisting Lin Mu?

Back then, Dong Zhuo's camp would never have been as vulnerable as it is now...

Unfortunately, no if...

When the warlords Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, and others heard that Lin Mu had captured Hanoi Commandery, they were all somewhat shocked. It seemed that Lin Mu really wanted to march on Chang'an!

However, they made no move and continued with their current operation.

Over the past few months, the situation in Yanzhou and Yuzhou has gradually become clear...

Yuan Shu used Runan Commandery in Yu Province as his core territory to launch attacks on other commanderies and counties.

Gongsun Zan seized Yingchuan Commandery in Yuzhou early on and made it his core territory. It bordered Yuan Shu's Runan Commandery, and the two sides had a lot of dealings with each other.

The State of Chen in Yu Province, which bordered the two commanderies, was seized by Liu Yu, the Grand Marshal and Marquis of Xiangben…

Liu Yu's southward journey was somewhat fruitful, as he gained new territory with the support of various parties.

Further north are Chenliu Commandery and Dong Commandery in Yanzhou, both of which were controlled by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's military might was not limited to defending the two commanderies; he had already begun to conquer Jibei Kingdom and Shanyang Commandery in Yan Province...

In particular, Shanyang Commandery, the territory of Yuan Yi, who was also Yuan Shao's man, was where Yuan Shao sent troops to Shanyang while consolidating his power in Ji Province. The troops resisted several attacks from the combined forces.

Cao Cao, Zhang Ning, and other warlords all wanted to take over Shanyang Commandery, but they failed.

Pei State in eastern Yu Province was mostly controlled by Liu Dai, partly by Yuan Shu, and a small part by Zhang Ning, the Prefect of Donghai and the Holy Maiden of the Taiping Sect.

Originally, Pei State was entirely controlled by Liu Dai, but later, due to the rebellion of the Yellow Turban remnants, Yuan Shu, Zhang Ning, and others took advantage of the situation to invade.

The feudal lords Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu, and others also got involved, but unfortunately, they were only able to temporarily occupy some cities before being driven out.

During this time, Liu Dai had actually asked Lin Mu for help, but Lin Mu ignored him and used the excuse of attacking Dong Zhuo to refuse.

The fiercer and more chaotic the fighting in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, the more advantageous it will be for the Great Wilderness territory.

Currently, the three factions are frequently at war within Pei, and none of them are willing to submit to the others...

The Kingdom of Jibei in northern Yanzhou was controlled by Bao Xin, the Chancellor of Jibei.

Bao Xin had been missing for some time, and the situation there was quite turbulent. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans were rampant, and Yellow Turban leaders such as Guan Hai and Zhou Cang had caused trouble there. Later, Bao Xin, who had been missing for a long time, returned in triumph and led his extremely powerful army to drive out the Yellow Turbans.

Bao Xin allied with Cao Cao, intending to attack Dongping State and Jiyin County, etc... These counties have the most remnants of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the most troops of the "Strange People"... They are currently the most chaotic territories.

Both Yuan Shao and Yuan Yi turned their attention here...

In Jingzhou, Sun Jian and Liu Biao also clashed. Sun Jian had previously suffered a life-threatening ordeal when Changsha Commandery was attacked and he suffered considerable losses. Now that the powerful Sun Jian had returned, he certainly wouldn't let Liu Biao off the hook.

Sun Jian allied with Gongsun Zan of Yingchuan Commandery and Yuan Shu of Runan Commandery to oppose Liu Biao, intending to seize control of the counties and prefectures of Jingzhou...

In short, the three states are in chaos!

Currently, all the various warlords have established their bases and are gradually expanding outwards. This aligns with their expectations.

While a joint attack on Lin Mu is urgent, having one's own base, logistical support, and a source of manpower is even more important.

Moreover, Lin Mu is currently engaged in a battle with Dong Zhuo, and the constant attrition between the two sides is something they are happy to see.

The showdown between the top two on the leaderboard is the most captivating part!

Although Lin Mu quickly captured Hanoi Commandery, Dong Zhuo's camp was preparing a counterattack that was about to take shape, and everyone was waiting in silence...

Amidst this chaos, Lin Mu would appear atop the wooden city wall every day, gazing at Hulao Pass and watching Lü Bu, who also appeared daily, facing each other as if exchanging greetings every day.

Just after Lin Mu finished greeting everyone for the day, he received some great news.

Qingyuan Town is going to be upgraded to a county seat!!!
Outside Guangzong City in Julu County, Jizhou, on the southeast side of the Taihang Mountains, lies Qingyuan Village, which Lin Mu established—no, it should now be called Qingyuan City!
This is the second, and the first, subordinate territory city in the Great Wilderness Territory to be upgraded to a county town, following True Dragon City.

Other towns like Jinyuan and Wenyuan could also be upgraded to county towns, but for the sake of a special building, the Great Wilderness Territory decided after discussion to upgrade Qingyuan City to a county town.

Qingyuan City was originally a transit city built deep in the mountains. It was originally built using a Yellow-rank village building token, but later, due to needs, it was mirrored using the attributes of a Heaven-rank village building token, the [Heavenly Craftsman's Token].

As it developed, it incorporated several surrounding mountains, expanding the city's area. Later, it also enclosed several nearby valleys, building city walls, which formed the prototype of a county town.

With the size of the Great Wilderness Territory, the economic, cultural, and military indices in the prosperity index were easily achieved.

As for transportation, Qingyuan City is currently not open to the public; relying on teleportation arrays is sufficient. We'll build bridges and official roads later when the situation becomes clearer.

As for why Qingyuan Town was promoted to a county town before other affiliated territories, it's because after discussions within the Great Wilderness Territory, the [City Source Power Soldier Soul Fish Pond] was established in Qingyuan City!
True Dragon City is the only county town that has been upgraded in the Great Wilderness Territory. Unfortunately, it is incompatible with the [City Source Power Soldier Soul Fish Pond].

The Great Wilderness Territory has the building materials for the [City Source Power Soldier Soul Fish Pond] in its inventory. Lin Mu also tried to build it, but unfortunately the system indicated that it failed.

It has already incorporated Taoist and magical soldiers.

In fact, Lin Mu had also tried to bind the [City Source Power Soldier Soul Fish Pond] to the system's cities, but he failed... Even the county town of Kuaiji County in Yangzhou didn't work. It wasn't that the conditions weren't met, but for other reasons. However, the system didn't give a specific reason, which left him speechless.

The [City Source Power Soldier Soul Fish Pond] is a divine-level building that resurrects soldiers; the earlier it is built, the more beneficial it will be to the Great Wilderness Territory.

Overseas islands are not being considered, so we need to choose from other dependent territories.

Wenyuan Town is actually quite suitable, as it can greatly increase its defensive strength.

However, considering the long term, Wenyuan Town is the least suitable.

The Great Wilderness territory must eventually be expanded outwards; Kuaiji Commandery is still too remote.

Therefore, Qingyuan City was chosen after comprehensively considering the layout and development needs of all aspects.

Lin Mu used the Kun Stone to teleport back to Shenlong Valley, then took the teleportation array and quickly arrived at Qingyuan Town. (End of Chapter)
