Chu Tian returned to Xia City, and finally had time to prepare for the third national war.

The rules of the Third National War are very different from the previous two National Wars.

First, the great lords of all civilizations, including player lords and NPC lords, must sign up to participate in the battle, otherwise the power and people's hearts will drop by 100%, and each lord can only carry a maximum of 30,000 people. Lords who participate in the war, the territory is systematically protected.

Second, this national war is based on civilization, and the lords of the same civilization are close to each other, and they are allies, so they must not attack each other, otherwise the strength and popularity of the people will drop by 100%. Each lord has an initial city, and points are earned by destroying the armies of other civilizations and capturing the city.

Third, the battlefield of the national war is an independent continent, in addition to the initial city, there are five main cities, and the main city is defended by NPC troops. At the end of the War, there is an additional bonus for the civilization that controls the main city.

Fourth, lords can use the towns on the battlefield of the national war to recruit troops and obtain supplies, and the population, army, gold and silver can be brought back to the Overworld.

Fifth, rewards will be settled according to the global leaderboard.

Sixth, the national war lasted for half a year, and all the systems of the players participating in the war were cut off.

Seventh, in order to avoid the total annihilation of civilized lords in the national war, each prince can choose to withdraw from the national war in the middle of the war.

In this national war, both the player lord and the NPC lord must participate in the war!

"All territories are protected, and participation must be made, and each lord can bring 30,000 men, and the scale of the legions participating in the war will be unprecedented."

Chutian could foresee the tragedy of the Third National War. Because the territory was protected, the various lords and local princes could go all out and compete in the third national war.

The time of the third national war will also be unprecedented, up to half a year!

Because only 30,000 people need to be brought with them, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou can slowly farm without worrying about the outbreak of war.

The map of the national war is unknown, and each civilization cannot make tactical deployment in advance, so it can only take one step and see one step.

The basic unit of national warfare is civilization, that is, all the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty are one camp and may be besieged by other civilization camps.

All the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty want to temporarily put aside their grievances and attack the princes of the same civilization, which will lead to a 100% drop in the hearts of the people, and basically everyone will rebel and leave their relatives.

"In this national war, we are unanimous with the outside world, return to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then you live or die, how about it?"

As the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty who controlled the Son of Heaven, Lao Qin took the initiative to greet other princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty and called for unanimity.

"Yes."

Zhao Long, Huma, and Mingguan, the three princes who fought to the death, also temporarily put aside the grievances of the Youzhou War in the face of the national war. The Battle of Youzhou brought out the tempers of all three people, and together 200,000 soldiers died. However, the Third National War was still forced to participate and form alliances.

Because of the five main cities on the battlefield of the Occupying Nation's War, this civilization can receive special bonuses.

"Are we going to join forces with other civilizations? One more friend is better than one more enemy. ”

"It is impossible for the Goryeo Kingdom to join forces with us, there are only two lords left with a population of more than one million, and they have enmity with us in the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially the lord Choi Jae-sun with a population of 10 million. The lords of Dongying are not trustworthy, and they may still be our enemies. ”

"The countries of Southeast Asia have conflicts with the lords of our Jiaozhou, and they are probably also mortal enemies."

"The first lord of the Mughal Empire was killed by Chu Zimou two years ago, and the princes of the Mughal Empire have a bad impression of us, and besides, we don't bother to join forces with the lords of the Mughal Empire."

"What about the Mongol Empire?"

"No one knows what's going on in the Mongol Empire."

"So, aren't we enemies of the world?"

The players and princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty used the system to communicate, and they counted the civilizations around the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it seemed that they were all enemies of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after all, there were many conflicts between them and the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It is normal for a more powerful and martial civilization to have less harmonious relations with the surrounding civilizations.

The eldest old Qin, once again served as the commander of the national war: "The surrounding civilizations are in territorial conflict with us, so what about the distant civilizations? Central Asian civilizations? ”

Huo An coughed lightly: "I have declared war on Central Asian civilizations such as the Seljuk Empire, the Kushan Empire, and the Khorezm Kingdom. ”

“……”

Many princes were shocked in their hearts.

Huo An of the Western Regions Protectorate is very low-key, but he is already a great lord with a population of tens of millions, and he dares to declare war on the Seljuk Empire, the Kushan Empire, and the Khorezm Kingdom. The above civilizations are all very powerful civilizations, and they cannot be compared with the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, but Huo'an's territory is only the Western Regions Protectorate of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

It was madness to declare war on Central Asian civilizations such as the Seljuk Empire, the Kushan Empire, and the Khorezm Kingdom at the same time with a small part of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Even if you recruit Huo Quzhi, you shouldn't be so inflated......"

Chu Tian secretly suggested to Huo An.

Huo An obtained Huo Qu's illness, Chu Tian knew. Because Chutian knew the divine doctor Hua Tuo, Hua Tuo basically operated in Chutian's territory, and only Hua Tuo could prolong Huo Qu's life. In order to avoid Huo Qu's untimely death, Huo An would naturally find Chutian.

Even if Chu Tian recruited Wei Qing and had a group of fierce generals, he would not declare war on the three civilizations that were all soldiers at the same time.

Huo An said to Chu Tian in private: "Don't worry, these civilizations in Central Asia also have conflicts with each other, and they will not work together to attack the Western Regions Protectorate. ”

Chu Tian said no more. He always had the feeling that Hoan would poke out the basket in Central Asia. Although Huo Qu's illness is indeed powerful, it is difficult to block the siege of several large empires. Unless Huo Qubing can use the national strength of the Central Plains.

"Central Asian civilizations are at enmity with Hoan, the Ottoman Empire, the Arab Empire, and the Persian Empire in Nasya, and anyone knows the local lords?"

"Nope."

"Africa and the Americas?"

"They may not be reliable, and we have too little to do with each other."

"Europe?"

"There are many civilizations in Europe, and there are a few civilizations that are relatively strong."

"In the last national war, Chu Zi tried to capture Joan of Arc alive, and our Eastern Han Dynasty and France formed a bond, and this national war is not to fight to the death with France. Not only that, but powerful civilizations such as Germany, England, and Rome all had grievances in the last national war. ”

Many princes summed it up and came to the conclusion that because the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty were too strong, they were really enemies of the world and did not have many friends. The main reason is that the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty are too capable of making trouble, and Huo An, the capital of the Western Regions, provoked the Seljuk Empire, the Kushan Empire, and the Khorezm Kingdom in Central Asia.

Chutian snatched the legendary hero Joan of Arc of France and took over a mortal enmity with France.

"That lord of France 'never surrenders', how is his development?"

After Chu Tian snatched Joan of Arc, he didn't care about the situation in France anymore, because whether France could survive the strong enemies around him was a question. Rome saw France as Gaul and tried to conquer Gaul. Germany has a grudge with France, and England has a grudge with France.

Expanding to the West, Hoan apparently cared more about Western civilization than the other lords: "After losing Joan of Arc, he became a sinner in France and lost the support of the player community. Now on the verge of unifying France was a lord named Louis, who is said to have acquired the characteristics of Louis XIV, King of France, the 'Sun King'. After the end of the war of nations two years ago, the 'Mandate of Heaven' war broke out between the king and the player nobles in France, the player nobles were supported by free players to overthrow the king's rule, and a civil war broke out between the player nobles, and the original first lord 'Never Surrender' has surrendered to Louis. ”

"It's getting more and more ......"

Chu Tian was also worried day and night that Joan of Arc would flee back to the original lord, but that unlucky lord had already declined.

Joan of Arc's original lord had bad luck, not only was the hero robbed, but he was also defeated and surrendered in the French Civil War. In other words, Joan of Arc fled back to France, choosing either to become a vassal or to take refuge with other lords.

"Now that we are enemies of the world, can't we find an ally?"

Many of the Eastern Han princes were depressed, and they finally talked calmly, wanting to win one or two allies in the national war. However, the Eastern Han Dynasty did offend many civilizations.

Zhao Long mentioned one person: "How is Catherine of the Grand Duchy of Moscow?" Although she has been defeated, I heard that she and Chu Zimou are concubines. ”

"Ahem, it's a non-existent thing."

Chu Tian had to clarify the matter.

He and Catherine were only victors and captives, and there were absolutely no improper relations between men and women.

"If the Grand Duchy of Moscow can be drawn into our camp, maybe it would be a good thing. The Grand Duchy of Moscow has a population of at least tens of millions, and there should be quite a few lords who participated in the war this time. A liege can have one initial city, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow may have seven or eight cities. ”

"One more friend and one less enemy is better than being the enemy of the whole world."

Other Eastern Han princes instigated Chutian to pull the Grand Duchy of Moscow into the water.

The population of the Eastern Han Dynasty accounted for only one-fifth of the "Lords", and it seemed not very good to be the enemy of four-fifths of the lords.

"She won't necessarily pay attention to me."

Chu Tian had no choice but to send a message to Catherine to explain the temporary alliance between the two civilizations in the national war.

Every time Catherine was cheeky to find him, Chu Tian didn't pay attention to the other party, and she also captured and humiliated Catherine, she couldn't wait to defeat Chu Tian, and she shouldn't consider forming an alliance.

Sure enough, Catherine quickly replied: "An alliance with the Eastern Han Dynasty? Are you kidding? We, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, will not form an alliance with the Eastern Han Dynasty! Unless tomorrow is the end of the world! ”

Old Qin asked, "How?" ”

Chu Tian had already guessed the result: "She rejected our alliance request. ”

Ming Guan, Hu Ma, Zhao Long, Tong Que, Yang Shilang, Wang Defa, Zhang Dao, Huo An, Xu Fengnian, Shuo Tang, Tian Qi, Liu An and other Eastern Han Dynasty princes were helpless: "It seems that we are really the enemy of the world this time." ”

Old Qin comforted: "Don't be impatient, everyone. Some civilizations have a neutral relationship with us, such as the Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire, and the Mamluks. Suppose that we have 20% of the population in the Eastern Han Dynasty, 30% of the population of the civilization with which we have more or less hatred, and 50% of the neutral civilization. Strategize properly, and don't worry at all. ”

Chu Tian was listening to Lao Qin's analysis, and he received a message from Catherine.

"If you have to form an alliance, it's not impossible...... Unless you ask me to confess your mistakes to me and serve as my servant in time of war, I will consider an alliance! ”

It is impossible to admit mistakes.

Chu Tian ignored Catherine's reply and continued to discuss the matter of the national war with Lao Qin and others.

This national war is a joint action of the lords of various civilizations, and it must be deployed in advance, such as flags, and ways to transmit information.

Each prince will send his own fierce generals to participate in the national war, in addition to the fierce generals, these princes may also have to bring one or two civil servants to temporarily govern the city. For half a year, the city needs a Wenchen to take care of it.

"According to the information known so far, there are five main cities on the battlefield of the national war, and if the main city can be occupied, it will be beneficial to the entire civilization after the national war is over. The population of our Eastern Han Dynasty is one-fifth, so it is necessary to occupy at least one of the cities. If possible, capture the two main cities. ”

"What about taking three cities?"

"It's not realistic. Other civilizations will also covet the main city. If we capture three cities, the remaining 50% of the population of a neutral civilization will probably become our enemy. When the time comes, we will be truly the enemy of the world, and we will be attacked by four times the elite of civilizations that are our own. We can't afford to defend more than three main cities at once. ”

The princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty all agreed with the judgment of the old Qin.

Five main cities, with the size of the Eastern Han Dynasty, must take one, to protect one and fight for two, if you must fight for three or four, each civilization without a main city will regard the Eastern Han Dynasty as an enemy.

The princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty discussed for nearly half a day and basically determined the matter of the national war.

At this time, Chutian received another message from Catherine.

"We can form an alliance...... The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Sweden intend to encircle and suppress me in a national war. You begged me first, don't get me wrong! ”

"What is this guy thinking......"

Chu Tian had a headache.

Originally, he announced to the other princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty that the Grand Duchy of Moscow had rejected the alliance's request, but Catherine agreed to the alliance.

"The Grand Duchy of Moscow intends to form an alliance with us in the national war, probably."

Chu Tian didn't dare to pack tickets to the other princes.

The other princes played: "You have nothing to do with Catherine, it's hard for us to believe it." ”

"Believe it or not, that's the way it is."

Chu Tian was also not polite to the other princes. National war is related to the future of civilization, and we must work together from top to bottom. After the end of the war, he and his princes were still enemies.

In the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Catherine was in a good mood, so she led 70,000 Cossack cavalry to sack another Polish city. On her side were the heroes of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, as well as the heroes who surrendered to her after being captured from the Kingdom of Poland.

"Chu Zimou of the Eastern Han Dynasty humbly begged me to ally with them, and considering the future of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, I reluctantly formed an alliance with them this time."

Catherine explained this to her men.
