Chapter 219: Departure Ceremony
"Zang Ba, Yu Wenchao, this army will be handed over to you to take with you. ”
King Kong City Lord's Mansion, Lu Shuang summoned all the legion commanders who participated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion over for a brief deployment meeting.
This time to Gaoyou, the road is long, you need to pass through a lot of terrain and trails, if you are not careful, you will be attacked by the Yellow Turban Army, covering the army and killing the general. Although Lu Shuang doesn't care much about the life and death of the players, after all, when the guilds send them over, they must have the consciousness of being cannon fodder, and if they die in battle, it is a big deal to drop one or two levels, and the impact is not very big. But his army is different, Lu Shuang hopes that every soldier can play their due role, instead of encountering accidents on the way and increasing casualties.
Although it seems that he is very majestic in leading his troops to fight, especially the sense of accomplishment when he defeats the enemy army, but in fact, the war in the "real world" is different from the guild war many years ago, the former is more close to the real ancient cold weapon war, how to march, garrison, arrange troops, logistics supply, etc. are all elaborate and learned, while the latter is relatively simple, without considering these factors that determine the outcome of the war. Lu Shuang boasted that he was not the material to lead troops to fight, and the most important thing for him as a lord was to do a good job in strategy and decision-making, as for how to fight, it should be left to someone who is an expert.
Among the Steel Thorn Legion, the Heavenly Absolute Legion, the Blood Wolf Legion and the Green Wing Legion, Yu Wenchao is the nominal commander, because his command value is the highest in the territory, and he has the corresponding specialties and internal skills. However, an army cannot be without generals, and Lu Shuang must appoint someone as the main general of this expedition, otherwise when encountering some decisions, even if several army commanders are capable, it is inevitable that there will be no leader and different opinions.
Yu Wenchao and Zang Ba are the only two choices in Lu Shuang's mind, and both of them have their own advantages. Lu Shuang's consideration is that although Yu Wenchao's command value is extremely high, and it is more than enough to command hundreds of thousands of troops, but a high command value does not mean that he will definitely fight, just like a high intelligence value does not necessarily mean that he will use troops like a god, these attributes only strengthen a certain aspect. And Zang Ba is still very young, according to Lu Shuang's understanding of history, Zang Ba summoned the doormen to rob the prison when he was young, this courage is not ordinary people, and Zang Ba can make contributions when he grows up, and he is highly praised by Cao Cao, which shows that this person does have his advantages, which can make Zang Ba the main general of this expedition.
Although the matter was decided on the spot, it would take a little time to recruit the soldiers and prepare for the follow-up affairs, and according to the verbal agreement at that time, the forces must deliver the soldiers to Lu Shuang before the end of February. Because Lu Shuang is also afraid of the black sheep, if these soldiers sent over are still lazy and do not obey orders, then even if they are cannon fodder, Lu Shuang does not want them to go to the battlefield.
Therefore, stepping on the tail of February, while most of the forces were handing over the soldiers, Lu Shuang ordered Yu Wenchao to be in charge of the training of these people, not expecting them to grow into an army with iron discipline in the past few days, but the basic orders, formations, and marching precautions should be memorized.
Although the rank of the player soldiers is generally not high, fortunately, the training is smooth, and their comprehension ability is much higher than that of ordinary NPC soldiers, so they are only short of going to the battlefield for actual combat.
Lu Shuang was not idle during this time, he had two things on hand that he needed to do, one was to organize soldiers to chase down the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, to absorb the surrendered Yellow Turban Army and the displaced people, and the other was to conduct a secret negotiation with the Celestial Elephant Guild.
Don't underestimate the Yellow Turban Army and homeless people who surrendered, Lu Shuang predicted after the game update that war and outreach are the fastest ways to increase the population. Although the Yellow Turban camp is a hostile camp, it can also be changed after the NPC surrenders, and those Yellow Turbans that are transferred from NPCs in life classes are extremely low in rank, and even if they are all wiped out, they will not get many points, and if they are transferred back to life classes again, they can still replenish the population of Flying City.
However, because of the changes in the system, the level of the NPC will not change after changing the force to which it belongs, that is, the attribute points will not change, so the NPC attribute points of these NPCs who are transferred from the life class to the combat class and then from the combat class back to the life class are very miscellaneous, and the intelligence value and force value are about the same level. And the qualifications of these NPCs are the lowest levels, otherwise the Yellow Turban Alliance will not choose them to become Yellow Turbans, and NPCs with slightly higher qualifications have long been divided by the guilds of the major Yellow Turban camps.
As for the displaced people, Lu Shuang divided them into two categories: passive type and active type, the passive type refers to the displaced people generated during the Yellow Turban Rebellion due to the destruction of the settlements of the imperial court camp, not caused by Lu Shuang. The active type is the homeless people generated when Lu Shuang sneak attacked and demolished the house, the base camp of the Yellow Turban Alliance was destroyed by the Danyang Qingbing sent by Lu Shuang, many towns and villages were destroyed, and before they had time to re-integrate in the rear, the front line had already been defeated, and these NPCs that originally belonged to their guild became homeless when no one took over, and then they were absorbed by Lu Shuang in time. The life NPCs cultivated by the player's power are not as good as Feitian City in terms of rank and qualification, but for them, this is already considered to be above average, and after the bonus of Feitian City's talent, it is estimated that the lowest is A-level qualification. For this group of people, Lu Shuang temporarily concentrated them in Fog Cinema City, and then sent them to Yizhou for construction after the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended.
Naturally, Lu Shuang didn't need to do it personally, and in the past two days, he had mainly negotiated with the Celestial Elephant Guild, in a sense, this was the first time that the small leader of the branch had met the director of the head office. Usually, Lu Shuang contacts them as roommates, but this time she suddenly changed to a high-status status, and she needs to be careful not to show her stuffing.
The Bronze Mask is a platinum-level special item, and after binding Lu Shuang's character, you can forge another identity for yourself, which can be used even when you are not wearing a mask. Lu Shuang showed up with a character named Qiwang with his ID, and when he put on the mask, he changed back to his original identity, which cannot be recognized by other reconnaissance skills unless it is detected by the system.
The three of them came into contact with "Sky Light Feather" for the first time, although they also felt that the first player in front of them was a bit similar to Lu Shuang, such as height and voice, but it is not strange for an adult male to have a height of 1.75 meters, and Lu Shuang's usual tone of speech is very personal to his personal characteristics, but "Sky Light Feather" speech is the kind without emotion. Even people who are very familiar with Lu Shuang can't think of two people together just by these external characteristics.
The Celestial Elephant Guild was supported by Feitian City, and Tianyu and others planned and established, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the other players in Hailing County suffered heavy losses, but the Celestial Elephant Guild benefited from it, and its reputation in the circle of Guangling County increased dramatically, and many casual players came to visit. However, behind all this glamour, it is Lu Shuang's silent support, without the large amount of financial and material assistance from Flying City every month, it will be difficult for the Celestial Elephant Guild and Celestial Elephant Town to operate, unless a suitable partner is found in reality.
Lu Shuang is not a person who can do loss-making transactions, and the investment of 10,000 gold per month is already a huge amount for a guild that has just been established and has few personnel, not to mention the regular giving of skill books or internal skills, which is also worth a lot. The Celestial Phenomena Guild's monthly investment of 10,000 gold has been included in the recent financial budget of Flying Sky City, and as an earlier strategic deployment, it should now play its role.
On the first day of the third month of the first year of Zhongping, after a brief departure ceremony, the 500,000-strong army marched northward, and they pinned their respective careful thoughts on different forces, and it was also the first time that Feitian City cooperated with other player forces on a large scale, and the popularity on the forum gradually increased.
During the departure ceremony, Lu Shuang, the high-level leaders of the major guilds, and even the county magistrate and county lieutenant all put down their work at hand and came over, as the nominal leaders, of course, they had to come over and make a familiar face. After the departure ceremony, Lu Shuang took this great opportunity to announce a piece of news that shocked everyone present: Flying Sky City and the Celestial Elephant Guild reached an agreement, the two sides became close partners, and Celestial Elephant Town was merged into Flying Sky City.
This news was tantamount to dropping a bomb, causing an uproar, and some guild leaders even went offline immediately, conveying the news to reality, and asked for an emergency meeting to discuss the matter.
Feitian City, the top force in China and even the whole server, has already impressed the world with its strength and potential; The Celestial Phenomena Guild, the fastest-growing emerging force in Hailing County, is also favored.
The high-level guild leaders who participated in the expedition ceremony did not have any ordinary people, no matter how stupid they were, they could sense that something was wrong, a super force, a rising star, the two sides agreed to become close partners, to put it thoroughly, it was an alliance, and it was not at all a matter of one plus one equaling two. If the two can give full play to their respective advantages and learn from each other's weaknesses, then Feitian City will make up for their own shortcomings, and the Celestial Elephant Guild will also get a qualitative leap, the behemoth Feitian City forces that originally did not interfere in Hailing County may really become the overlord of a county this time, which is what all the forces developing in Hailing County are worried about.
The guild executives present had a stomach full of questions, as if it had turned into a press conference, and the people in the audience stood up one after another to ask Lu Shuang questions, hoping to get more information.
Lu Shuang did not refuse to be thousands of miles away, nor did he enthusiastically answer them one by one, but picked a few representative questions to answer. First, the Flying Sky City and the Celestial Phenomena Guild are indeed in-depth cooperation, and the Flying Sky City will provide more assistance, while the Celestial Phenomena Guild needs to obey Lu Shuang's orders and not harm the fundamental interests of either party in principle.
Second, Celestial Elephant Town was merged into Flying City and became a subsidiary territory of Flying City. Lu Shuang will provide a Heart of the City for Celestial Town to upgrade to Celestial City, but the ownership of Celestial City belongs to Feitian City, and the two sides will jointly send troops to defend it for a period of three years.
Third, Flying City does not interfere in the internal management of the Celestial Phenomenon Guild, that is, the Celestial Elephant Guild and Celestial Town are separated, and Flying Sky City only has the ownership and partial management rights of Celestial Elephant Town for three years, and has no right to interfere with the operation of the Celestial Elephant Guild.
Fourth, the cooperation between the two sides is not based on the strategic purpose of developing foreign forces, on the contrary, Feitian City will increase the degree of openness, take the road of peace, openness and win-win cooperation, and build a foreign trade center with Tianxiang Town or Tianxiang City as a platform. In this foreign trade center, players can choose to buy high-quality equipment, items, elixirs, etc., and in principle, it is open to all non-hostile forces in China.
