Chapter 681, The Matter of the False Festival
In March of the eleventh year of Jian'an, Liu Feng, who had been recuperating for several months, raised the army again, with Bai Jian as the main general, Liu Ye as the military advisor, and the governor Huiji, Jian'an Military Administration, with Buqi, Lu Meng, Shi Ran, Zhang Cheng (Zhang Zhaozi), Zhang Yun, Xu Sheng, Wang Ying, Dong Xi and other generals, sent an army of 3 million to advance into Jiaozhou. Wang Yu led the naval division to assist from the sea and was responsible for transporting grain and grass, and Lu Su led the Luling army as a partial division, sending 500,000 troops to assist the main force to attack from the side.
The news broke, and the players shook again. Everyone knew that the first city lord would "invade" Jiaozhou sooner or later, but when this day came, it was still a little bitter. can only act quickly after a wry smile, and prepare to form an alliance at the appointed time to jointly fight against the first city lord.
It's impossible to escape, and the game at least requires blood.
The troop movement of nearly four million troops was a lot of pressure on Liu Feng, after all, a big war had just ended the previous year, and it would not be possible to recover in a few months. Especially with the expansion of power, more and more troops are needed to defend the city, and the mobile forces that can be drawn out are naturally less and less. In order to continue to maintain its power, the development of Jiangdong has quietly slowed down.
If Liu Feng is willing, he can also transfer some soldiers stationed in various counties, even townships and pavilions, but in this way, those restless players will inevitably make some moves to show their existence, and if they don't have enough troops to deter, the consequences will be more serious. Liu Feng never underestimated his colleagues, and there were not too many people who died, even if sometimes it didn't make any sense at all.
Liu Feng was not worried about the war in Jiaozhou, it was originally for military training, and it didn't matter whether he could attack the city and seize the land. Jiaozhou, as one of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, although the sense of existence is not strong, but the comprehensive strength is still there. But it's a pity that Jiaozhou in the game is scattered, and the heroes are roughly as good as Cao Cao, and they have not been able to fully base Yanzhou, let alone declare that they are far inferior to Shikun. But because of this, although he lost the opportunity to get a state with a little bit of Shikun, he had the courage to let players struggle in Jiaozhou - a remote place, difficult to develop, difficult to compete with the Central Plains, and the big guilds couldn't look down on it, so it naturally became a paradise for small and medium-sized guilds and scattered people. At least here, there will be no phenomenon like Sanfu and Koto trying to exclude powerful players, because no one can be dominant.
Just when the players were staring at Liu Feng's march into Jiaozhou, Lu Bu tossed a big news in Bingzhou.
He summoned in the name of the little emperor and named himself a hussar general, and the fake festival, the opening ceremony and the three divisions of the same department, and really went to the road of the minister.
Lu Bu in the game has a strength of up to the eighth order, and he is the first military general to reach the eighth order, no matter what his personality is, but he is no longer the legendary brainless "three-surnamed house slave". Or he will be jealous of some of his generals, but he will never leave them idle again.
In Jinyang, Lu Bu is a dominant family, occupying Bingzhou and Hedong, and controlling the power of the imperial court, it can be said that if you count it, the talents in Lu Bu's sphere of influence definitely exceed any other princes, whether it is Yuan Shao or Liu Biao, after all, it is the entire imperial court, but the problem is that these people who are forced to come to Jinyang are not of the same heart as Lu Bu, and there is no need to mention that Yang Fengyin is violated, and there are many people who secretly contact and want to overthrow Lu Bu, and in the past few years, a large part of Lu Bu's energy has been limited to the government and has no ability to expand at all, for this reason, he doesn't know how many people he killed, but he can't always clean them.
In the eyes of some people, Lu Bu's brutality was comparable to Dong Zhuo, although he led people to kill Dong Zhuo. All along, Lu Bu and Chen Gong have tried their best to win over those ministers of the DPRK and China, but unfortunately, almost no one is willing to take refuge.
For this reason, Lu Bu was even more furious, and even wanted to kill all those who were disobedient, but fortunately, he was finally persuaded by Chen Gong, if that was the case, the princes' coalition army might even give up the puppet emperor Yuan Shu and send troops directly to Jinyang. And this is not those powerless people in history, most of them are above the 7th order, if they really want to make trouble, how many soldiers and horses will be mobilized to quell the chaos? So as long as those people don't make trouble, give them a false position, and let them go.
But secretly, Chen Gong and Lu Bu have been thinking about how to solve this matter.
It wasn't long ago that the white tiger that escaped in the battle to kill Dong Zhuo suddenly appeared and came to seek revenge, and its strength had reached the peak of the eighth order. But who is Lu Bu, the undisputed number one military general of the Three Kingdoms, how can anyone in the same rank be afraid of anyone, even the White Tiger, one of the divine beasts.
After a big battle, the white tiger was surrendered by Lu Bu alone, and became Lu Bu's guardian beast, taking this opportunity, at the suggestion of Chen Gong, the white tiger was proclaimed as another national protection beast after the Han Golden Dragon, in recognition of merit, Lu Bu was crowned as a hussar general, fake festival, open the mansion.
Jin Feng hussar general, open the mansion is not enough, although only the general and the three dukes have the qualifications to open the mansion, but since the princes have been divided, there are not a few people who open the mansion with heavy generals, the key is the fake festival, it is completely a temporary behavior into a regular dynamic, this is the prelude to the domination of the court like Dong Zhuo, which naturally aroused the opposition of the courtiers.
But who is Lu Bu, and how could he give up because of the opposition of a group of powerless people? Since you still pin your hopes on the Great Han, then I will crush the last glory of the Great Han. So with a wave of his hand, he wantonly added officials to the princes with real power in various places.
As a result, Yuan Shao was named a general, Liu Bei was named Sikong, Sun Jianzuo general, Cao Cao was a right general, Liu Biaoche was a general, Liu Zhang's former general, Han Suihou's general, and Liu Feng was also named Wei general, although some generals' names may not be heavier than the previous ones, but they represent the central court rather than a corner. In addition to the title of general, there is also the most important point, that is, these people are given the qualifications to open a government and a fake festival, and the cautious fake festival is given away in vain like a cabbage.
This kind of behavior is undoubtedly a provocation to the imperial court, so angry that some old ministers said that they were sick and did not go to court, and some secretly wrote to all the princes, calling on these princes to raise troops to attack Lu Bu and welcome the imperial court in the old capital.
But it's a pity that these powerful princes will give up the power in their hands, and the fake festival represents the emperor's will and the legitimacy of their actions. After that, if the conquest is carried out, it will no longer be accused by some literati. So they went to the table one after another, expressing their acceptance of the will of the imperial court.
They were satisfied, and Lu Bu's goal was achieved, and many courtiers were disappointed since then, and they could no longer raise the ideal of reviving the Han Dynasty. It's a pity that this huge country has since become fragmented, and there is no chance to unite again.
Liu Feng was of course no exception, after receiving the edict, he found that compared with the aborigines, he was no worse than the aborigines. With the power of the false festival, below General Wei, the miscellaneous generals can be canonized at will, and they only need to report to the Jinyang Imperial Court, and there will be no duplication; It is already possible to analyze the land and the county and even the county...... This made Liu Feng happy, the counties in Jiangdong were too big, and they were previously limited by qualifications, but now they can finally re-naturalize the administrative areas according to local conditions, so as to avoid the situation that a county is too large to control.
Therefore, of course, Liu Feng also thanked all the princes and sent tribute.
Next, it's time to plan a little bit.
