Chapter 515: The Celebrity Effect
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, it is May 19o, and it has been nearly two months since the end of the Battle of Luoyang, Ah Niu returned to Fengxiang.
Two months is enough time for a lot of changes in the game.
Perhaps it is the violent tendencies that players have finally awakened in their bones, or in response to the advent of the era of hegemony, or in order to show their territory and train their troops through the guò war, and the melee between the lords has escalated.
There are not a few lord players who die before they are rewarded, and the victor steps on their corpses and proudly wipes the blood from their swords.
The land of Shenzhou is full of smoke, killing machines are everywhere, and wars are continuous!
Many realms perished every day, and an equal number of new realms appeared, and the brutal war frenzy caused the average level of the lord player's realm to drop dramatically. Not all of the "old lords" were involved in the war, and many were burying their heads in the smoke of the surrounding neighborhood.
Some "backward" lord players didn't waste this time, and first-tier cities sprung up. By now, with the exception of the new lords, the vast majority of the territories that have existed since the early days of the game have entered the ranks of cities.
Some of the best characters among the old lord players also seized the opportunity. In just these two months, after Fengxiang City, Wuhu City, and Jiangyi City, eleven more territories have been upgraded to second-level cities, including Fuxing City, Inhuman City, Qilin City, and Huoyun City of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
In the battle against Dong Zhuo, among the top five lord players of the two camps, only the invincible Dongzi's Bo Ancient City remained at the stage of a first-class city. Such a situation is not strange in Ah Niu's opinion, Bo Gucheng became famous in the battle against Dong Zhuo, completely because the invincible Dongzi received the fierce general "Zhang San" in the battle stage.
The arrival of Zhang San can make the military strength of Bo Gucheng grow by leaps and bounds, but it cannot change the situation that Bo Gucheng has a weak foundation and insufficient accumulation, and to put it bluntly, it is a bit like a "tyrant". Bogucheng still has a long way to go before it can become a truly powerful territory.
The invincible Dongzi obviously realized this, and he soon chose to plunder the foreign country and use war to make Bo Gucheng gain more population and talents in a short period of time. It is a smart way to give full play to Zhang San's advantage in combat power, and use it to win all kinds of resources urgently needed for the exhibition territory for Bo Gucheng!
The external plunder began, and no player in Jingzhao County could stop the advance of the Bo Ancient City army, and the legendary Zhang San was unstoppable!
The player's territory, which is seen as a target of prey, is of course not willing to be lambs to the slaughter, and they fight back. But Zhang San was too strong for them, so powerful that they were invincible, and after a few battles, those players sadly realized that all their efforts were in vain.
There is only one result of stubborn resistance, a dead end, and the troops of Bo Gucheng will kill all the enemies who resist, and then smirk and plunder everything they can take with them. Of course, before leaving, the invincible Dongzi's troops basically did not forget about the destruction of the general's territorial office!
Not all people believe in "rather die standing than live on their knees", many people still think that "stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood" is more philosophical, when a lord who is unwilling to be humiliated becomes history, more people choose to show weakness.
Only by surviving can you have a chance to fight back!
If the ancient city of Bo declares war, then quickly send someone to ask what the invincible Dongzi's territory needs, and do everything possible to meet its requirements, so as to avoid the fierce general Zhang San leading his troops to attack. What's even more ridiculous is that the cost of the declaration of war in Bogucheng has to be reimbursed by the victims!
"Damn, what kind of world is this!" The victim scolded hatefully, and the law of the jungle in the troubled times was revealed.
After realizing that the "soldiers who surrender without a fight" can bring such great benefits, the invincible Dongzi smiled with satisfaction.
The next thing is to constantly find people to declare war - blackmail, and when he encounters those guys who don't know each other or are regarded as "dishonest", he asks Zhang San to take the troops to go around, and occasionally do some tricks to kill chickens and monkeys, and live a very nourishing life.
As the nearby "fat sheep" were looted one by one, the army of Bo Gucheng began to spread out to Jingzhao County, and the last system update brought convenience to this kind of operation. Bo Gucheng was more cautious in choosing who to declare war on, and the invincible Dongzi had to make sure that the target territory could pay a sufficient price, after all, the cost of declaring war across states and counties was high.
Through a series of wars, Bo Gucheng gradually accumulated a large number of talents, population and resources, although Bo Gucheng has not yet entered the ranks of secondary cities, but compared with the past, the comprehensive strength and development potential of the territory are not the same.
The home road of Bo Gucheng was later called "Bogu Track" and "Famous General Effect" by players, and the key part of this exhibition mode lies in Zhang San.
Talent is precious!
Compared to the lively scene between players, the changes in the NPC world are much smaller. After the battle against Dong Zhuo, the Kwantung princes and Dong Zhuo's camp formed a de facto division of rivalry, and everyone was busy consolidating their own power, silently accumulating their abilities, and there was no large-scale battle between them.
This relatively peaceful scenario is obviously not real, and once anyone feels that they are ready, or if the opponent's exhibition has formed a serious threat to them, the big war can break out at any time. In the troubled times, grabbing money, grain, and land was the main theme of the war between the princes.
In April 19o, Dong Zhuo wanted to win over Liu Yu, a member of the Han clan, Youzhou Mu, and a well-known political family, as his Taifu in order to strengthen the momentum of his own camp. Since almost all of the Kwantung region was under the control of the princes, the road was difficult to travel, and Dong Zhuo's envoy failed to reach Youzhou, so he had to give up.
Just a few days ago, Sikong Xunshuang hung up, and the position of Sikong was temporarily vacant.
These things don't matter, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Feng Xiang, but another thing makes Ah Niu a little restless, in fact, Ah Niu has been depressed about this matter for a long time.
In March 19o, during the Battle of Luoyang, a piece of news came that made a certain city lord deeply disturbed: Gong Jing fell ill and died.
Qingzhou has always been rich and its soldiers are excellent, which makes many people covet Qingzhou. Under normal circumstances, a new candidate should be appointed by the imperial court, but now that Dong Zhuo lives in Chang'an with the Son of Heaven, and the princes of Kwantung do not listen to him at all, the position of Qingzhou Assassin has become the object of competition for many people.
His son Gong Zheng is not enough to obey regardless of talent or prestige, not only the local heroes of Qingzhou Mansion are strong and many Taishou are ready to move, but even many people outside Qingzhou have taken action, hoping to share some benefits in the ownership of Qingzhou.
After escaping three assassinations in just two days, Gong Zheng had to flee quietly and disappeared. At that time, it was the most tense time in the battle of Luoyang, and almost all of Ah Niu and Feng Xiang's elite soldiers were in Luoyang or on the way to Luoyang, and they could not give Gong Zheng the necessary help, which made a certain city lord feel very regretful.
is the so-called "good to save people in difficulty", although the chance of success is not great, but if he did not meet the battle of the Yellow Turban besieging Luoyang, Ah Niu would have liked to help Gong Zheng. If it can be successful, it will be extremely beneficial to Fengxiang's living environment; Even if he fails, Feng Xiang will not pay a greater loss, not to mention that Gong Zheng helped Ah Niu a lot in the past, so Ah Niu can't be treated as if nothing happened.
The icing on the cake is not comparable to sending charcoal in the snow.
Feng Xiang began to secretly search for Gong Zheng's whereabouts, and even if he found Gong Zheng now, he could not change the fact that Qingzhou had changed hands, even if Gong Zheng had now lost his value. A certain city lord is a very affectionate person, although Gong Zheng is just an NPC, he still hasn't found anything in the past two months.
In the battle over the ownership of Qingzhou, others did not take advantage of it, and Yuan Shao, the leader of the Kwantung princes, quickly intervened. Although it is inconvenient for Yuan Shao to take Qingzhou into his pocket, this does not mean that he has no other way, Yuan Benchu let Zang Hong, a native of Guangling, temporarily lead the affairs of Qingzhou.
In this way, Qingzhou has actually been included in Yuan Shao's sphere of influence.
Feng Xiang has lost the state capital, a big backer, and an important trade partner of the big yellow crossbow. Because Ah Niu humiliated Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, the actual controller of Qingzhou, has no good impression of Feng Xiang, even if Zang Hong has not yet shown hostility towards Feng Xiang, but the deterioration of the living environment of the territory has become a fact!
"It is true that Zang Hong can sit on the position of Qingzhou Assassin History, but Zang Hong has always had the reputation of integrity and loyalty, and he may not have his own opinions. The first city in the world is in Qingzhou, which is also a good thing for Zang Hong, if the lord is free, it is best to go to the state capital, even if he can't turn enemies into friends, at least he can clarify his position, so as to make a corresponding choice. ”
Pang Tong's words made a certain city lord feel a lot more relieved, and it seemed that the shape may not be as unbearable as he expected. Ah Niu didn't make the trip immediately, it took time for Zang Hong to take office, and the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce at that time also made a certain city lord unable to distract him, "I hope it's really as Shiyuan said, and after this period of time, I should go to the state capital in person." ”
Now, the time is finally ripe.
(There should be another chapter added in the evening) (to be continued,)
