The campaign is about to begin, and the vast majority of players have already chosen their sides. However, the "first city in the world" has not expressed its attitude for a long time, and would rather give up precious time to grab points. In the eyes of most players, Ah Niu is obviously a mistake.

But Ah Niu is still the same, with the help of Xiaoyu, he quickly upgraded Fengxiang City to the first second-level city in the country, and when the city-level lords were nearly a thousand, Fengxiang once again distanced himself from the pursuers. The upgrade of the first city in the world is at most a few words of "pervert" for players, but for NPC forces, Fengxiang City, which is already famous, has a heavier weight. Which side Fengxiang City chooses to join will not only make the faction have a powerful army of lord players, but also have incomparable symbolic meaning - Fengxiang City has joined us, what are the others waiting for?

If in the eyes of the NPCs, the battle between lord players is like a child's fight, then the only thing that can impress them is the Fengxiang City troops with their powerful soldiers. Feng Xiang is the first place in the Yellow Turban Campaign, and in the long struggle with the Yellow Turban Army, he has already made a name for himself and a brand!

Objectively speaking, no matter which camp gets Feng Xiang's help, it can greatly boost morale. And bring more confidence to the players who join the faction. No matter which faction a city lord joins, he will become the mainstay of that camp!

So, not long after Fengxiang was just upgraded to a second-tier city, the envoys who came to lobby on behalf of the two camps arrived, and the identity of the people who came was not low, and they had considerable decision-making power. The countdown has entered before the start of the battle, and the NPCs of the two camps hope to solve the affairs of Fengxiang City as much as possible, and pull Ah Niu to their own camp one day earlier, so that they can attract those players who have not yet made up their minds.

The messenger of Dong Zhuo's camp is Li Ru.

Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and most trusted adviser, and the top person in charge of the player's forces in Dong Zhuo's camp, was able to leave Luoyang and go to Fengxiang in person at the critical moment when the big war was imminent, which shows that Dong Zhuo's camp attaches great importance to Fengxiang. Such a "courtesy" has greatly exceeded Ah Niu's expectations.

In the city lord's mansion, Ah Niu and Li Ru held talks, and Pang Tong was also qualified to attend.

Li Ru is thin and weak, and there is not a few taels of meat on his face, how do he look like an addict, or the classic image of the dog-headed master of the local family in the old society, Ah Niu even thought very meanly about what kind of funny scene it would be when the thin Li Ru and the fat Dong Zhuo were together, but the celebrity in front of Dong Zhuo, a glint flashed in his eyes from time to time, so that Ah Niu did not dare to take it lightly.

A certain city lord quickly told himself: Don't judge heroes by their appearance! In terms of ugliness, Pang Tong, who is sitting behind Ah Niu, is obviously more unbearable than Li Ru, but this cannot erase the fact that Pang Tong is extremely intelligent. Pang Tong was a famous "ugly man" in the Three Kingdoms era.

"After a long absence, Ah Niu was going to Luoyang to pay a visit, but he didn't want Mr. to go to Qingzhou. It was really beyond Ah Niu's expectations. There are some interesting things in Fengxiang, and I hope that Mr. can stay for a few more days, so that Ah Niu can fulfill the friendship of the landlord. A certain city lord smiled very happily, as if Li Ru had been his friend for many years and had reunited after a long absence.

Li Ru said secretly, "Who wants to stay in your small Fengxiang City for a long time, and I am not an idler somewhere", but he asked for three points of courtesy, and he was still very polite, and after a few words of greeting, Li Ru quickly got down to business.

"Now the imperial court has encountered great changes, and the unrighteous division of the Kwantung princes has raised troops to the west, and wants to invade the king's division, so perverse behavior can not help but make people indignant, and people of insight are loyal to the imperial court, vowing to defeat these clowns. The Fengxiang City of the Lord of Niu City is well-known in the sea, and he is the general of Wupin Zhaode, and he is responding to the call of the imperial court to quell the rebellion at this eventful time, and by the way, he has established the immortal merit of Guangzong and the ancestors, but I don't know why the Lord of the City of Niu has not made up his mind? ”

From Li Ru's point of view, the Kwantung princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo is of course tantamount to a rebellion, no matter how blameworthy Dong Zhuo's actions are, which makes people angry, after all, it is his father-in-law and lord, and he categorically does not admit that the Kwantung princes' rebellion is a natural move.

A certain city lord sighed and said with a wry smile: "What Mr. said, how can Ah Niu not know that Feng Xiang has been benevolent to the imperial court for a long time, and he should not sit back and watch the heroes of the Kanto region invade the royal capital, but every family has a scripture that is difficult to read...... Fengxiang is located in Qingzhou, there are several troubled princes near the territory, if the king of Qinqin is raised, I am afraid that it will soon be wiped out under the encirclement and suppression of the princes, and there is nothing about the survival of Ah Niu's own honor and disgrace. In fact, Mr. also knows that we aliens are immortal, but Ah Niu can't help but consider the life and death of tens of thousands of villagers in Fengxiang. ”

A certain city lord seemed to be very distressed, and a horizontal word "Chuan" was twisted out of his eyebrows, a city lord who was "compassionate and compassionate".

Ah Niu replied very "frankly", as a lord player, of course, he needs to put the interests of the territory in place, and Feng Xiang is in a place where there are many princes, and there is indeed a danger of being exterminated after joining Dong Zhuo's camp, and Li Ru also knows that this is the truth.

"If you help the imperial court to quell the rebellion, the meritorious person will be rewarded by the imperial court, and it will also be of great benefit to the exhibition of the territory, and Fengxiang, as the first city in the world, has repeatedly made meritorious contributions in the battle against the Yellow Turban thieves, if you participate in the war, it must not be difficult to get more rewards from the imperial court. If the city lord of Aniu can give priority to national affairs, and Confucianism can guarantee it, Lord Xiangguo will not let Fengxiang's soldiers shed blood in vain. Li Ru said quietly.

Li Ru's words obviously hinted that if Feng Xiang joined Dong Zhuo's camp, he would get a rich reward. Although the campaign rewards in the game are released by the system, who can control the additional "interest" paid by the NPC forces?

This is not a bug in the game, Fengxiang City can get the attention of NPC forces, and it is completely based on strength and fame, otherwise there are many shrewd people among so many lords in the game, but only the first city in the world has received such treatment!

Hearing Li Ru's statement, a certain city lord's intestines hurt with laughter. Li Ru has already expressed the attitude of "willing to be slaughtered", with Dong Zhuo sitting on the three states of Yong, Liang and Sili, and holding the greatest power in the Eastern Han Dynasty, if Ah Niu takes advantage of the situation to bargain, it is not difficult to get a lot of oil and water from Dong Zhuo, but a certain city lord has already made up his mind, so he will naturally not agree to Li Ru's invitation.

"In Feng Xiang's situation, Feng Xiang is really inconvenient to deal with the Kwantung princes, and Mr. must know it. Although Fengxiang is known as the first city in the world, it is only a second-level city, and the princes of any town have the ability to subvert Fengxiang. ”

At this time, Ah Niu had to be humble enough, although in fact Feng Xiang had a very strong power of self-preservation.

Li Ru frowned, "Could it be that the Ah Niu City Lord is ready to give up this opportunity to make a name for himself?" ”

"Not really. In fact, Ah Niu also hated the rebellious behavior of the Kwantung princes, and had the heart to contribute to the great cause of quelling the chaos of the imperial court, but the safety of the villagers in Fengxiang made Ah Niu unable to make up his mind. ”

Li Ru couldn't help but scold Ah Niu a few times in his heart, saying that he "has the heart to do his part for the court", and then how to understand the sentence "where to go is still under consideration"? The subtext is clearly "I haven't decided which camp to join", "I want to join, take enough benefits", **naked threat!

But at the thought of Fengxiang City joining the alliance of princes, Li Ru became a little nervous. Feng Xiang is different from other territories, not only has a high reputation in the player and NPC world, but also has an elite division that has repeatedly created a battlefield miracle of winning more with less, and defeating the strong with the weak!

Li Ru understands that it is a waste of time to talk about any "righteousness" with Ah Niu, and the only thing that can impress the city lord of Fengxiang may only be real interests. In fact, this situation was expected by Li Ru, and the wise man did not believe that Ah Niu could refuse the conditions he offered.

"Hehe, before leaving, Lord Xiangguo once said to me, 'Zheng Aniu, the lord of Fengxiang City, has always been loyal to the imperial court, and he should have been rewarded for his great achievements in the battle against the Yellow Turbans. Unfortunately, at that time, the ten permanent servants misled the country and filled their pockets with the rewards that the court originally planned to reward meritorious officials, and now it is time to put things right. 'Dong Xiangguo asked Li Ru to pass on the message, and asked the city lord of Aniu to take a break to Luoyang to receive the award. ”

After that, Li Ru told Ah Niu the so-called "additional reward for the crusade against the Yellow Turban":

1, the world-famous Fengxiang City Lord is actually only a five-grade Zhaode general, which is really insulting to Ah Niu's classmates, at least four grades are barely worthy of Ah Niu's identity.

2. In view of Feng Xiang's economic losses in many battles with the Yellow Turban Army, the imperial court rewarded Feng Xiang with 5o thousand gold to help him rebuild his homeland, and exempted Feng Xiang from the taxes that Feng Xiang City should pay to the imperial court for three years.

3. The villagers of Fengxiang paid a lot of human lives in the battle with the Yellow Turban Army, and they were rewarded with 5o million gold to appease the families of the martyrs.

4. In order to improve the quality of life of Fengxiang villagers, the imperial court will give 2o senior talents to Fengxiang City, so as to better develop Fengxiang's economy (specific occupations are designated by Fengxiang).

5. Give Fengxiang City 2oo Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so that Fengxiang can make persistent efforts in the battle to quell the chaos (the so-called quelling chaos, of course, does not refer to the remnants of the yellow turbans, but the Kwantung princes).

"These are all the feats that the Lord of Xiangguo once established by Feng Xiang, if the Lord of Aniu City can create another glory in the battle to sweep away the Kwantung princes, the imperial court will also give additional rewards as appropriate." Li Rupi looked at Ah Niu with a smile.

In fact, both Ah Niu and Li Ru understand. The "additional reward" is actually just an excuse, it is clearly a condition set by Dong Zhuo's camp to win over Feng Xiang, and the ten permanent servants who have died in Huangquan were dragged out of the underworld by Li Ru to make a cheap, but fortunately, the ten permanent servants have done all the bad things, and the things of "filling their pockets" have not been less, and it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less.

No lord could refuse such a lucrative condition, Li Ru had already seen that every time he said a reward, a certain city lord's eyes lit up by two points, and saliva had unconsciously flowed to his cheeks. Li Ru believed that Ah Niu could no longer resist such a temptation, and it seemed that it was a sure thing for Feng Xiangcheng to join his camp.

Ah Niu seemed to be a little incoherent with excitement, and muttered, "The imperial court is so sympathetic to Feng Xiang...... The reward is good...... If Ah Niu no longer knows the current affairs...... Can't hesitate any longer...... It's so unreasonable, I decided, Feng Xiang will join ...... right away"

Just as Li Ru was happily waiting for Ah Niu to say the expected decision, a certain sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked brother (Pang Tong), who had been silent in the City Lord's Mansion, jumped out and said loudly: "Don't! ”

"What?"

"Lord, do you want tens of thousands of villagers in Fengxiang to suffer a catastrophe? Do you want Fengxiang's soldiers to die innocently under the suppression of the princes? Do you want our homeland to be filled with war again? For the sake of a little benefit, do you want to let so many Fengxiang people bleed? Pang Tongzhuang was extremely angry, and his eyes were wide with rage, like a wounded beast.

"But...... It is our duty to serve the court! A certain city lord said in a low voice.

"Your lord, you are so disappointing! Although you are so happy, you don't learn and don't know, you are stupid like an ox, you are scheming and don't make decisions, you are lazy and hardworking, you don't do your job, you are unkind, you are insatiable, you are short-sighted, your face is hateful, you hinder the city's appearance, and you are lustful like your life...... But after all, there is a benevolent heart that loves the people like a son, which is the only reason why tens of thousands of Fengxiang villagers are loyal to the lord. I didn't expect you to ignore the villagers for this little profit, Pang Tong has no reason to serve Feng Xiang, if the lord does not take back his life, Pang Tong can only abandon the lord and go. No, I should die to admonish me! ”

In the end, Pang Tong's eyes were red, and there was already a small dagger in his hand, which was across his neck, and he was extremely resolute.

The atmosphere in the City Lord's Mansion suddenly became extremely heavy.

Li Ru was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to kill halfway and bite the gold, which ruined his big thing. A certain city lord seemed to be stupid, and it took a long time before he said: "Shiyuan, don't be excited, I haven't promised yet, there is something to discuss." You put down the knife first, how can I be willing to let Feng Xiang's best and most loyal strategist die. ”

Hearing Ah Niu's words, Li Ru couldn't help but sigh, the "best and most loyal" strategists under a certain city lord were so strong, and if he was Ah Niu, he had to postpone the matter of joining Dong Zhuo's camp first.

When he saw that Pang Tong was unmoved, and the knife was still on his neck, Li Ru's mood was even worse.

Sure enough, a certain city lord said to Li Ru very apologetically: "Whether or not to raise the army and Qin Wang's matter is important, and let Ah Niu think about it." Mr. has been tired all the way, and he will go to the guest room to rest first, and how about discussing with Mr. tomorrow? After that, he secretly gave Li Ru a look, clearly hinting, "Give me some time, let's get this kid done first." ”

Li Ru had no choice but to reluctantly stay in Fengxiang for one night.

As soon as Li Ru left, Pang Tong, who was originally going to die or live, quickly put down the dagger, and asked Ah Niu for credit with a smile, where is there still the momentum of seeing death as home just now.

"Lord, my cousin was not bad just now, right?"

A certain city lord nodded approvingly, "The acting skills are good, it seems that you are very suitable for playing blackface." As soon as you stir up peace like this, I don't have to agree to Li Ru immediately, their conditions are really good, but if you think that this reward can make us work for them, then I look down on us Fengxiang too much. Besides, isn't there another guest we haven't seen yet? ”

"Well, the lord is wise!"

"Really?" A certain city lord's face was already quite unkind, and Pang Tong immediately sensed the danger.

"Hehe, just now in order to let Li Ru have nothing to say, he was a little unscrupulous, don't blame the lord. Didn't the lord make me do this? ”

"Yes, I asked you to put on a black face and make you stop me from making a promise, but did I ask you to say anything like 'stupid as a cow'? And the 'hateful face and lustful as life' is also what I taught you? It seems that someone has long wanted to take the opportunity to insult me, but he hasn't been given the opportunity, so he just had a good time, right? ”

"Enjoyable! No...... Not addictive. Pang Tong's face turned pale.

"Oh? Since you didn't enjoy it, do you want to do it again? ”

“……”

Soon, a terrible scream came from inside the City Lord's Mansion......

In the early morning of the next day, Li Ru saw Ah Niu and Pang Tong again, the latter no longer had the awe-inspiring momentum of yesterday, which made Li Ru feel a lot more relieved.

-- Whoever has panda eyes on their face will find it difficult to maintain their majesty.

"Ah Niu City Lord has thought it through?"

"Yes. It is a pity that Feng Xiang may not be able to join the imperial court camp and fight against the Kwantung princes. A certain city lord smiled bitterly and looked at Pang Tong who was speechless, to show that it was not that he was unwilling to work for Dong Zhuo, but that he was forced by him.

Li Ru's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, "Could it be that Ah Niu is ready to give up this opportunity?" ”

"Not really. Actually, I have a compromise, I don't know if my husband is interested......"
