From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 100 Expansion Plan
Dameng Town.

When the news of Huang Gai's death reached everyone, Zhang Zhao and Guo Tu could not help but gasp, lamenting the cruelty of their lord.

At this time, everyone couldn't help but look at Ning Mengya silently, and were glad that they followed the right lord.

If it really was in Buzhou Town... they couldn't imagine how depressing and uncomfortable it would be.

But after all, Huang Gai didn't have much feelings for them, and they didn't spend much time together. Although he felt a little regretful, he wasn't too sad.

After calming down, Zhuge Liang said, "I observed the three towns west of Jiming Town along the way. Judging from the outer city walls, most of them are first-level towns."

A level one town means they only have 200 soldiers, and they are all small player territories, so it is easy to attack them.

These low city walls have not been upgraded yet, and now is the time to attack. Zhuge Liang suggested that the three territories west of Jiming Town should be annexed as soon as possible to avoid giving them the opportunity to grow stronger.

If the enemy really upgrades to a second-level town with a five-meter-high city wall, then if you want to attack the city at that time, you will need more troops and the process will be more difficult.

Zhang Zhao and Guo Tu naturally agreed with Zhuge Liang's suggestion. These three territories were not too far from Jiming Town, only about forty to sixty miles away. After the attack, they could immediately link up with Jiming Town to form a huge defense circle, encircling the rear of Jiming Town, including Yuhuang Town.

If we can defeat the enemy and take over their surrendered soldiers, then the military strength of Daming Town will be expanded, which can almost be said to be a matter of one hundred benefits with no harm.

……

Buzhou Town.

Chen Qun found his lord Zhou Bu and said, "My lord, after this incident, the Dameng Dynasty has already known our strength. I believe that after they return this time, they will definitely bring infantry to attack the city."

The troops that came yesterday were cavalry, and cavalry do not have the ability to attack a city. The other side was just testing their strength.

Now that their strength has been tested, they will definitely lead their troops to expand.

Zhou Bu frowned, nodded in agreement, and asked, "Sir, what do you think we should do now? Should we relocate the entire city?"

Chen Qun shook his head and said, "I think we should still form an alliance. Changsheng Dynasty and Xianhe Dynasty are both towns with comparable strength to ours. If the three parties form an alliance to form a defense circle, perhaps we can stop the invasion of Dameng Town."

"Dameng Town needs to fight at a long distance, they will not dare to bring all their troops out."

The experience of the Xia Dynasty's failure has taught them that if they go all out and fail, they will never have a chance to turn the tide.

Learning from the experience of the Xia Dynasty, other lords now probably consider the safety of the rear when they want to send troops.

"If they leave half of their troops behind... I think the actual number may be higher than this, because their territory is huge and every city needs soldiers to guard it!"

"So I concluded that they would not bring too many troops, and our three alliances may not be unable to fight against them."

"Of course, during this period, we still have to focus on developing the economy, upgrading to a second-level town as soon as possible, and building our city walls. At that time, our chances of winning will be greatly increased."

Zhou Bu laughed loudly: "Great! I have Mr. Chen. Although we are still weak now, we will be strong in the future."

Chen Qun bowed and said, "My Lord, I will personally go to discuss the interests of the Changsheng Dynasty and the Xianhe Dynasty. The most worrying thing about the alliance is that they are not united. Once the three parties have their own thoughts, the strength of the alliance may be worse than that of being dispersed, so I have to go and lobby in person."

Zhou Bu: "Okay! I will send fifty soldiers to escort you personally!"

Chen Qun: “Yes!”

……

Fifty personal soldiers followed Chen Qun out of the gate of Buzhou Town. Lord Zhou Bu personally saw Chen Qun off and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for everything, sir!"

"My lord, just wait patiently!" The personal guards followed Chen Qun and rushed towards the distance.

After traveling twenty miles, Chen Qun ordered his soldiers to rest, and then asked, "Everyone, what do you think of General Huang's death?"

The group of personal soldiers remained silent. These people were all trained by Huang Gai and had great faith in him. They witnessed Huang Gai being killed by their lord with their own eyes, and they were angry but dared not say a word.

Chen Qun said calmly: "You dare not say it, I will say it!"

"Do you really think there is a future in following a lord like this?"

"When you go to the battlefield in the future, are you really willing to leave your life and death to the Lord?"

"Perhaps before you kill the enemy, an arrow will be shot at you from behind!"

"Since you have chosen to become a soldier, I believe that you are not afraid of death. But even if you are not afraid of death, you must die a worthwhile death, rather than being shot by your own people!"

"If General Huang really betrayed, he deserves death, but have you ever seen an enemy army attacking a city with only cavalry?"

"They are clearly trying to sow discord. General Huang is willing to fight the other side's commander to prove his loyalty. You all can see it clearly. I think you all have your own opinion on whether General Huang is loyal or treacherous!"

Silence, a long silence, and all the soldiers lowered their heads silently.

Not long after, a soldier suddenly spoke up and asked Chen Qun: "Sir, we are willing to listen to you. Please give us some advice!"

Then, countless soldiers echoed.

It was obvious that these soldiers had already been upset by Huang Gai's death. Zhou Bu had always regarded these soldiers as ordinary game NPCs. However, when the battle for the throne began, someone said that this was not an ordinary game. The NPCs in the game all had their own feelings and personalities.

In other words, the soldiers are watching everything you do as the lord, and their loyalty will change with your every action.

Now the soldiers in Buzhou Town have become disunited, and any words of incitement will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back!
Chen Qun certainly did not take the initiative to offer advice to Zhou Bu. All his purpose was to escape from Buzhou Town. Now that he had escaped from Buzhou Town with so many soldiers, there was naturally no reason for him to go back.

As for forming an alliance with the other two lords of the territories...that was just an excuse he made up to convince Zhou not to let him out of the city for negotiations!

Following such a lord, Chen Qun was deeply afraid that the lord would kill him at any time!

"Then... follow me to Dameng Town!"

Chen Qun spoke, and more than fifty soldiers said, "Okay! We will listen to you, sir!"

However, a small number of people questioned and asked, "Sir, will the other party accept us?"

Chen Qun said solemnly: "Don't worry, if they treat you differently from their own soldiers, I will definitely find a way to take you away!"

"If not, Chen Qun will be the first to commit suicide to apologize!"

"it is good!"

"We are willing to follow sir!"

"Everything depends on sir!"

Chen Qun nodded, then mounted his horse, and rode towards Daming Town with his soldiers!
