Chapter 420: The End of the Northern Origin
"Nope." Ah Niu said lightly.
"No?"
"Yes. Cao Cao didn't need to pay anything, he just needed to say a few fair words for us Feng Xiang in front of the princes when necessary. Zilong is equivalent to friendship help. A certain city lord seems to be talking about a matter of course, compared with the huge benefits that Pang Tong won from Li Ru, the result of the negotiation between Ah Niu and Cao Cao is obviously a big "loss".
After the initial surprise, Pang Tong quickly returned to normal, his little watery eyes shone brightly, and he asked with a smile: "Is the lord so optimistic about Cao Mengde?" With Pang Tong's intelligence, of course, he understands that Ah Niu's so-called "saying a few words" is not so simple, and the city lord of Fengxiang has never made a loss-making deal.
A certain city lord smiled and said nothing, but Pang Tong had already got the answer from Ah Niu's expression.
Pang Tong didn't know how much Cao Cao had achieved in history, but when Ah Niu occasionally talked to him about the heroes of the world, his admiration for Cao Cao was obvious. First, there was a sacrifice to the "five-color stick" who was not afraid of the powerful and selfless, and then there was "Meng De's sacrifice of the sword", and went out to Chen to recruit troops and horses, and raised his arms to crusade against Dong Zhuo, which contributed to the great event of the princes of the Eighteenth Road to discuss Dong Zhuo, and it is also quite famous in the NPC world. Such a person, although his power is not obvious now, cannot rule out the possibility of soaring in the future.
Feng Xiang hoped to benefit from both sides in the battle against Dong Zhuo, and if such a plan succeeded, he would certainly get great benefits, but there was no impermeable wall in the world. In case of leakage, then the Fengxiang City Lord will soon be regarded by the world as a typical representative of "two faces and three swords" like the Fuxing City Lord, and the consequences of this are obviously very severe.
In Pang Tong's opinion, especially Ah Niu has decided to let Li Jin go to Dong Zhuo's camp to help in the war, once the matter is revealed, the relationship between Feng Xiang and the Kwantung princes will naturally have problems. At this time, having a prince like Cao Cao to help mediate and say a few "fair words" for Feng Xiang is obviously of great significance to Feng Xiang. In the long run, such an approach cannot be said to be unreasonable.
But the reality is far from that simple.
As a player, Ah Niu certainly knew that Dong Zhuo, who seemed to be extremely powerful, was already dying, but the Kwantung princes represented by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others were about to play a more important role on the stage of the Three Kingdoms like the rising sun. Ah Niu can ignore Dong Zhuo (anyway, it's about to hang up, and it's too far away from Fengxiang, even if he tears his face, there is not much hope to call over), but he definitely doesn't dare to ignore the Kanto Qunhao, in fact, a certain city lord has always hoped to get closer to the Kanto princes.
Previously, Ah Niu wanted to see if the NPCs of the two camps were "interested" in Feng Xiang and whether they would send envoys to invite him. The envoy came, Li Ru from Dong Zhuo's camp was full of weight, but Cao Cao from the princes' camp made a certain city lord a little disappointed.
It's not that Ah Niu is arrogant enough to think that Cao Cao's weight is not enough, Cao Cao's visit to Fengxiang this time is not out of Yuan Shao's entrustment, but Cao Cao's personal behavior. It is precisely for this reason that Aniu had to temporarily change the strategy of "selling at the price" and "collecting money at both ends", and treated the two camps differently.
Li Ru can represent Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhuo's camp, but Cao Cao cannot represent Yuan Shao, let alone the princes' camp!
In fact. Even if Fengxiang City is the first second-level city among the lords, it may not be able to get the favor of the NPC forces, a certain city lord did not pin his hopes on the "consciousness" of Dong Zhuo and the princes' forces from the beginning, but moved almost all the connections to build momentum!
-- The sky will not drop pies for no reason, and the two camps are not whimsical to win over Feng Xiang, and the opportunity is not given by others, but won by themselves!
In Dong Zhuo's camp, Cai Yong was the natural choice, and Ah Niu went to Luoyang on the way back to the territory and asked Cai Yong for help. His beloved daughter and friends are all in Fengxiang, and of course Cai Yong will not give Ah Niu this face, although he doesn't understand the overall plan of a certain city lord too well. It is precisely because Cai Yong praised Feng Xiang in front of Li Ru that there may not be Li Ru's trip to Qingzhou.
In the camp of the princes, in addition to Yuan Shao, who is not speculative, at least Ah Niu also knows Kong Rong and Cao Cao. Both of these princes have an old relationship with Ah Niu. Kong Rong was in danger under the siege of the Yellow Turban Army, and in the battle to relieve the siege of Beihai, it was Feng Xiang who contributed the most; As for Cao Cao, when a certain city lord was in Luoyang, he was introduced by Cai Yong and had a meeting.
After the battle information was announced, a certain city lord rushed back to the territory, and after discussing with Emperor Wu of Han, Zhao Long and others, he went to Beihai on the back of Dahei, and then went straight to Chen Liu to see Cao Cao. In the conversation with the two princes, a certain city lord just rightly expressed his "anger at Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior", as well as admiration for the two of them to raise troops against Dong, just when the two thought that Ah Niu would soon join the princes' camp and fight side by side, a certain city lord sighed again.
"Dong Zhuoquan leans towards the government and the opposition, and if the rebellion fails, he will launch a bloody revenge on the princes. Ah Niu is immortal death, not worried about his own safety, it is supposed to join hands with the princes to participate in the righteous act, but as a lord, I have to consider the life and death of tens of thousands of villagers in Fengxiang first, and let Ah Niu think carefully. ”
Kong Rong was originally a reader. The "benevolence" of a certain city lord is quite in line with his noble character of "compassion and compassion", and at the same time he regrets that Feng Xiang can't do anything; Cao Cao was not so easy to deceive, but Feng Xiang's addition was obviously beneficial to this camp. The final result was that the two princes sent letters to Yuan Shao respectively, and Jian Yiì made a promise to Fengxiang City to win him over.
But Yuan Shao flatly refused.
As soon as the information of the Kwantung princes discussing Dong Zhuo was announced, the number of players who joined the princes' camp was far greater than that of the players in Dong Zhuo's camp, which made the alliance leader Yuan Shao a little fluttery. In his opinion, the princes of the Eighteenth Road are already powerful, and with so many players helping them, the future of the crusade against Dong Zhuo is bright, and there is absolutely no reason to fail.
With such a mentality, Yuan Shao naturally wouldn't pay too much attention to Fengxiang City's choice in the battle, "Isn't it just an Inhuman Lord, how many Inhuman Lords help us and others to participate in the righteous deeds, what does it matter if there is one more or one less?" ”
These words were the gist of Yuan Shao's letter to Kong Rong and Cao Cao, when he replied to the letter, Fengxiang was still only a first-class city, but even when he learned that Fengxiang had been upgraded to a second-class city, he didn't feel too much.
Cao Cao is also a person who knows the soldiers, and he admires Feng Xiang's performance in the battle against the Yellow Turbans, and ordinary lord troops are completely unable to compare with Feng Xiang's elite division! After receiving Yuan Shao's reply, Cao Cao personally came to Fengxiang to meet Ah Niu, and in addition to expressing dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao's "inaction" as the leader of the alliance, he also invited Fengxiang to participate in the war in his personal name.
Cao Cao's current power is not large, and when Chen Liu recruited troops, he scattered all his wealth, and there was not much oil and water at all, it was in this situation that Ah Niu took the initiative to promise to let Zhao Yun serve under Cao Cao's account for free. When Cao Cao knew that Zhao Yun was the young hero who picked the horns in the Battle of the Yellow Turban, and had a friendship with a certain city lord, he was very satisfied and led Zilong away.
A certain city lord sent Zilong, firstly because Zilong was strong enough, and secondly, because Zilong would never be conquered by Cao Cao's royal spirit, so that there would be no accidents.
Although he didn't get any oil and water on Cao Cao, Ah Niu was also very satisfied. After this cooperation, the relationship between Fengxiang and Cao Cao will be one step closer. This point is self-evident to Fengxiang. Just send a military general to help in the battle, you can harvest the friendship of a great military strategist in the Three Kingdoms era, and it is said that it is free, and other lords can't find a way even if they want to post it upside down! What else is Ah Niu not satisfied with?
With Fengxiang's economic foundation, the financial remuneration is not as important as in the early days, how to build contacts and create a better external environment is what Ah Niu values!
It was under such circumstances that Li Jin and Zhao Yun were put under the accounts of Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao respectively, and "legally" obtained the right to participate in the war. If it weren't for this, there would be no way for these two fierce generals to appear on the battlefield of Bishui Pass.
When other players are still fighting for the final reward in the battle, Feng Xiang has already obtained some benefits, and is expected to get greater rewards after the war, and the rewards after the war are not necessarily "hidden"!
*****
After the pseudonym "Martial Arts", because Dong Zhuo's camp avoided fighting, the NPC forces of the two camps had almost no chance of a duel, and only the player forces fought each other in the constantly deployed camp missions, and the battle has gradually come to an end.
As more and more players gained power, the cumulative number of defeats reached three times and they were kicked out of the campaign, the number of players engaged in the battle decreased day by day, and the scale of the battle was much lower than before.
The layout of the faction mission will fully consider the player's immediate military strength in the war zone, and players with strong military strength have the ability to take on the next mission alone, while those players who have little military strength left in the war zone will mostly take on the next mission together in the form of multi-person cooperation. Even if the forces in the theater are completely wiped out, as long as the cumulative number of defeats does not reach three times, and the army in the territory is not more than half of the maximum force, it will still not be kicked out of the battle. It's just that you can't receive any more Faction Quests, so you lose the rewards you get from Faction Quests.
This is also the reason why Beiyuan City has not been kicked out of the battle after the entire army in the war zone was destroyed.
Kyushu Wuzhen's troops were ambushed, and the matter of nearly 2,000 troops killed in the battle soon appeared on the forum, and Kakaluka understood that Ah Niu had fulfilled his promise, although such a blow was not enough to completely withdraw Beiyuan City from the battle for the first place in the merit list, but it effectively stifled Beiyuan City from grabbing points.
Just when Kakaluka thought that Ah Niu was suspected of being "opportunistic", what happened next made him change his opinion.
On the night of the second day after the Battle of Bishui Pass, a force of 3,000 people appeared outside Beiyuan City, and all the soldiers were cavalry, and the Burning Qiang cavalry led by Kaza! In addition to the many Qiang people, there is also a Han military general in the team.
"The large army of Beiyuan City came out two hours ago, preparing to attack a princes' camp territory a hundred miles away at night, with less than five hundred troops and some aliens defending the city. Brother Kaza and the others can rest assured that Mr. Chen has already sent Ju Yi's troops. Once the troops of Beiyuan City come back to help, they will once again face the big yellow crossbow that first ascended to the camp of the dead soldiers. Di Yun laughed.
Since Li Jin was sent to Luoyang, Di Yun temporarily became the leader of the Thunder Cavalry, and Long Fei and Yao Dangqiang had also cooperated several times before, and Di Yun and Kaza were no strangers.
"Don't worry, even if the troops of Beiyuan City are all cowering in the city, they can't stop the attack of our warriors, and the current Beiyuan is almost an empty city. It doesn't matter if Long Fei's troops don't move, it will take at most half an hour to capture Beiyuan City, and their troops outside will not be able to rush back to the rescue. Kaza let out a long laugh.
"Huh. Having said that, it's better to be safe, although the Burning Brothers have attacked other territories, it is the first time they have attacked city-level territories, otherwise how could Mangzhong Ling let Big Brother Kaza personally go out this time. Fortunately, the stone walls of Beiyuan City have not yet been built, and coupled with the lack of troops, Di Yun waits for the good news of Brother Kaza. ”
"You wait a while to pick up people, what I'm worried about is whether Long Fei can fit so many people."
"This is not something that Brother Lao Kaza bothered about. When the news of the fall of Beiyuan City came, it was when Longfei was upgraded to a city, and as for the population that could not be accommodated for the time being, it could also be solved through the Guò refugee camp. Di Yun laughed.
The special territory of Long Fei has already reached the conditions for upgrading the city, and now the number of city-level lords in the game is close to 1,000, and the city-level lords of Liangzhou are also close to 100, and the time is ripe to upgrade the special territory to a city!
"Okay, I'll go first! After capturing Beiyuan City this time, presumably Long Fei didn't need us to make a move for a long time, Mangzhong explained before leaving, frequent attacks may expose the secret of the secret road, and the Di Yun brothers finally explained to Mr. Chen Gong after they went back. ”
"Of course." Di Yun also knew that the population of Beiyuan City was enough for Long Fei to digest for quite a long time.
"Warriors, it's work!"
With Kaza's heroic laughter, the three thousand burners rushed towards Beiyuan City like a storm, and the purpose of their trip was to completely wipe out Beiyuan City. From the very beginning, the fate of Beiyuan City was already sealed. Ah Niu didn't plan to let Kyushu live without photography at all!
Feng Xiang of the neutral camp, attacking players participating in the battle will be suppressed by NPC forces, and it stands to reason that Feng Xiang's initiative to attack the troops of Beiyuan City is neither reasonable nor legal. But don't forget, if Beiyuan City, which is located in Liangzhou and has joined Dong Zhuo's camp, is attacked, it will only be Dong Zhuo's troops who will come out for it, which will make a certain city lord see the opportunity. In the agreement between Feng Xiang and Li Ru, in addition to those known terms, there is another additional condition, which seems to be insignificant.
"There is a lord in Liangzhou who has a gap with Feng Xiang, and has insulted my lord in public many times, and this revenge cannot be avenged. My lord plans to send an expedition to suppress the arrogance of Beiyuan City, and I hope it will be fulfilled. ”
An ordinary lord player naturally can't be compared with Feng Xiang, and Pang Tong said that "it's just a slight punishment", Li Ru hesitated for a moment and agreed, just emphasized, "Don't make things too big, so as not to make everyone unable to get off the stage." ”
Only then did the troops of the first death soldiers brazenly attack Beiyuan City, without the slightest fear of retaliation from Dong Zhuo's forces; And the Flying Wing Battalion led by Zhao Xue can only "travel" outside Fuxing City, because Feng Xiang failed to get the permission of the NPCs of the princes' camp and can only look at Fuxing City with his eyes!
Even if a certain city lord is determined to destroy Beiyuan City, it is not Feng Xiang's troops who finally "poison the hand", and it is not strange that the Qiang people who are in a hostile state with the imperial court attack the territory of the Han people, and similar incidents have appeared more than once some time ago (two of them were burned when the Qiang were dry), and the destruction of Beiyuan City obviously cannot be blamed on Feng Xiang's head.
A certain city lord has always thought that he is very reasonable......
Three thousand Qiang cavalry attacked Beiyuan City like a whirlwind and clouds, and Beiyuan City, which was empty of troops, could not resist at all, and the combat effectiveness of the Qiang warriors was far superior to that of the ordinary troops recruited by the lord player. Although Kyushu Wushi was in the territory at the time, he immediately notified the adventurer who went out with the large army to bring troops back to rescue, and commanded the troops in the territory to resist desperately, but nothing helped.
When Kyushu Wushi judged that the purpose of the Qiang people's trip was to destroy Beiyuan City, he also decisively violated the death rule that the mobilization order required that "no more than half of the military strength in the territory should be achieved", and immediately broke the fire to recruit troops, and Beiyuan City was immediately kicked out of the campaign against Dong Zhuo. The hastily recruited troops only lasted ten more minutes, and they could not save the fate of the destruction of Beiyuan City.
"Ding-dong. The city lord's mansion and city lord's office of Beiyuan City, Fufeng County, Liangzhou were all breached, and the territorial level was reduced by one level, and now Beiyuan City was downgraded to a third-level township. ”
With this announcement of the sound system, Beiyuan, which has a hidden soldier cave, has reduced the upper limit of troops from 10,000 to 4,000, and the troops who are desperately returning to the division to rescue some mutinies, and as the territory level continues to decrease, more and more mutinous soldiers have mutinied.
The adventurous players who accompanied the team were stunned, "It's over, it's all over." ”
"Ding-dong. The mayor's office of Beiyuan Town, Fufeng County, Liangzhou was breached, and the territorial level was reduced by one level, and now Beiyuan Town was downgraded to a second-class township. ”……
"Ding-dong. The office of the village chief of Beiyuan Village, Fufeng County, Liangzhou was breached, and the territorial level was lowered by one level. ”
The fall of Beiyuan caused an uproar among players.
"Dizzy, Beiyuan City, which ranks second in Dong Zhuo's camp, has been destroyed like this!"
"Who did it?"
"There is news on the forum, some players who participated in the defense of Beiyuan City have the qualifications for the video, it was the Qiang cavalry who did it, and it is really unlucky that Kyushu has no camera."
"Yes, this guy is so unlucky, seeing that the battle is about to end, it's almost time to receive the award, and he was accidentally destroyed by the Qiang people."
"Liangzhou is very dangerous, and the Qiang people are terrifying......"
Beiyuan, who was once incomparably beautiful and occupied the top three on the merit list of Dong Zhuo's camp for a long time, withdrew from the stage of history in this way. With the fall of Beiyuan, the battle exploits earned by Kyushu Wuzhi have also been erased, and the inhuman city, which was originally ranked third, unexpectedly became the second place on the merit list, and the Zilong Society, which ranked fourth, was also "escorted" into the top three.
Kakaluka quickly connected to Ah Niu's communication bracelet, "Did you do it?" ”
Kakaluka was only a little suspicious, after all, Feng Xiang's troops had already secretly "moved" to Liangzhou, and they only attacked the troops of Beiyuan City yesterday, and today Beiyuan City was destroyed, there may not be some coincidence.
"Faint to death, Kaka-san's look up to me too much! I just ambushed some troops in Beiyuan City yesterday, and it was the Qiang people who destroyed Beiyuan City, as evidenced by the video on the forum! Don't you think that Fengxiang City in Qingzhou has the ability to invite the Qiang people to make a move! But then again, Kyushu Wuzhi thinks that Lao Tzu is the best in the world in Liangzhou, causing trouble everywhere and attacking others, and he deserves to be destroyed, Liangzhou is a lot more peaceful when he dies, and the retribution of the heavenly cycle is not happy......"
Blinking his eyes, Ah Niu whispered: "Actually, I'm still wondering if you did it, there are also many Qiang tribes in Yizhou, and Beiyuan City has a direct threat to the Five Lakes, and it just so happens that the troops in Kyushu have been weakened by me a little, Kaka really seized the right time to do it at this time...... Trust me, I'm not going to give out this secret......"
A certain city lord is absolutely innocent, and he is quite gloating, but such a reaction is also reasonable. Kakaluka quickly accepted a certain city lord's explanation, and sighed lightly: "That's right, it's just that such a powerful lord was destroyed like this, and some rabbits died and foxes were sad, it seems that my Five Lakes City must also be well defended, otherwise I don't know how to die." Ah Niu had better be careful, the NPC power is too strong. ”
In the end, Kakaluka also gave a kind reminder to a certain city lord......
When Kakaluka was communicating with Ah Niu, the powerful vacuum cleaner's face turned pale. Although Qiang is very contemptuous of Kyushu's character, no matter how to talk about the two families are still "close" allies, and the most important thing is that the demise of Beiyuan means that the "matador" camp has one less gun, and the lack of "ignorant and fearless" Beiyuan City, which has a large number of troops, who will share Feng Xiang's attention on his behalf?
Compared with the loss in this regard, Fuxing City's investment in helping Beiyuan upgrade to the city is insignificant.
On the day of the demise of Beiyuan, Liangzhou had one more first-class city, and Longfei Town was promoted to Longfei City!
And the population and a large number of talents stolen by Beiyuan have all become the "congratulatory gifts" of Long Fei's upgrade!
