Chapter 584: Chen Shuo surrendered
Si Li, Luoyang City.
Outside the city center. There are still a lot of ruins to be cleaned up in the huge city, and months of hard work seem to have little effect, Luoyang is too big. It is still a long way to clean up the former capital.
In the central area of the city, a large number of Luoyang villagers are busy in an orderly manner, and the completion of various infrastructure has also attracted many adventure players.
The ancient capital, which was dilapidated and in ruins a few months ago, has initially recovered a little prosperity thanks to the efforts of Fengxiang City.
Ah Niu was standing in the center of Luoyang City at this time, and the young official Chen Shuo was respectfully accompanying him, just a few minutes ago, he had been appointed by Ah Niu as the third deputy city lord of Fengxiang, on the same level as Chen Gong and Sun Liang.
This means that Chen Shuo has gained Ah Niu's trust enough, otherwise Ah Niu would not have written Chen Shuo's name on the last deputy city lord that Feng Xiang could appoint. Before making this decision, Ah Niu had already consulted Lu Zhi, Liu Xing, and Zhou Tai. They get along with Chen Shuo day and night, and whether Chen Shuo is qualified to become the deputy city lord or not, they have a considerable amount of power.
Zhou Tai, who has always cherished words like gold, was rare and generous, and said: "When Chen Shuo is dealing with Luoyang affairs, the conscientious and responsible Cheng Dù is no less than Deputy City Lord Sun, and his skills in handling some details are breathtaking, and everyone is very relieved to have him presiding over Luoyang affairs." ”
Liu Xing said with a smile: "This little ghost is good, the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang think that he is very affinity, capable and quick in handling affairs, and trustworthy." ”
Lu Zhi's evaluation of Chen Shuo was not stingy with praise words, "With Chen Shuo's strength, if you enter the official career, it is more than enough to be qualified for the position of Taishou." It's a pity, now that the Han Dynasty is shaking and the jackal is in charge, Chen Shuo has no way to serve the country, if the city lord of Aniu can get his full help, he will definitely become an indispensable member of Fengxiang City, he has all the characteristics that a capable official should have! ”
The three of them have a very high evaluation of Chen Shuo, especially Lu Zhi, a former high-ranking official who has been in the court for most of his life, and he thinks that Chen Shuo's evaluation of being a capable official is obviously not groundless. What's more, Lu Zhi vaguely reminded Ah Niu: Talents like Chen Shuo should be recruited as soon as possible.
Chen Shuo's current joining Fengxiang City is only a "temporary worker", so it was still a city lord who took great pains to "deceive" him, if it weren't for this, Zheng Xuan would not agree to let his disciples come to Luoyang to help Lu Zhi, who was seriously injured and had not recovered, take care of daily affairs. In other words, it is still unknown whether Chen Shuo will be able to fall to Fengxiang in the end, and now that Lu Zhi has recovered his health, Chen Shuo may flash at any time. Return to Qifeng Valley and continue to work with the teacher and all the brothers and sisters.
How could Ah Niu sit back and wait for such a tragedy to occur?
Placing Chen Shuo in the position of deputy city lord fully expressed his trust in him, and such a move was obviously a special honor for the young and talented Chen Shuo.
At the same time, this is also a temptation of a certain city lord to Chen Shuo!
If Chen Shuo had no intention of continuing to stay and help, he would definitely politely refuse to insist on not accepting it, at least he would not agree lightly, Ah Niu's appointment of him as the deputy city lord made it clear that he hoped that he would officially become a member of Fengxiang. If Chen Shuo has the heart to exhibit in the first city in the world, he will naturally not give up this opportunity lightly.
Chen Shuo was a little hesitant when he learned of Ah Niu's wishes, this situation couldn't help but make Ah Niu uneasy, and after a while Chen Shuo said: "Thank you Ah Niu City Lord for your love, Chen Shuo was assigned by the teacher to come to Luoyang, just to help temporarily, if he accepts the position of deputy city lord in private, I'm afraid the teacher will be unhappy." ”
When he learned that Chen Shuo was unwilling to accept the position of deputy city lord because of this matter, Ah Niu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this young official obviously had a good impression of Fengxiang City, and it was not a good choice to exhibit in the first city in the world, the only concern was that he was worried about being blamed by Zheng Xuan afterwards!
A certain city lord didn't say a word, and moved out of Lu Zhi directly, with the relationship between Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan, it was not a trivial matter to help Chen Shuo eliminate his concerns?
"When I was temporarily living in Qifeng Valley, my old friend had previously privately discussed with me about the many disciples who followed him, and your ambition and characteristics were not suitable for studying scriptures, but for entering the ranks. You already have a certain understanding of the situation in Fengxiang City, and the city lord of Ah Niu is willing to let you serve as the deputy city lord, which is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can you miss it!
This time, your teacher sent you to Luoyang, in my opinion, it is simply to give you a chance to show your abilities, and I didn't explain it. Don't worry, accept it generously, if my old friend complains to you in the future. I'll do the talking for you. ”
With Lu Zhi's words, Chen Shuo naturally had no need to worry anymore and readily agreed.
Both Ah Niu and Chen Shuo understood that after Chen Shuo became the deputy city lord of Fengxiang, he had actually officially joined Fengxiang, and he was no longer the identity of the former guest secretary. Therefore, when Chen Shuo no longer called Ah Niu "Lord of the City", but changed his name to "Lord Gong", Ah Niu was not surprised at all.
Fengxiang City has another high-ranking official!
After dealing with Chen Shuo's affairs, Ah Niu immediately set out to follow up on the task of rebuilding Luoyang, which was the main goal of Ah Niu rushing to Luoyang alone in his busy schedule.
"Ding-dong. After Luoyang City chose to worship Zhurong Yuanzu, the construction of Zhurong Ancestral Hall has been completed, the fourth ring of the task of rebuilding Luoyang has been completed, and the task has entered the fifth ring, congratulations to Zheng Aniu player. ”
"The fourth ring of the rebuilding Luoyang mission has been completed, and you will get 8,000 points of experience in the chain of tasks, you can choose to redeem the huàn reward at random now, or redeem the huàn higher level reward after accumulating enough task experience points, please make a choice within ten seconds."
Without any hesitation, of course Ah Niu would not choose to randomly exchange huàn now, and he was ready to hit the highest level of rewards.
Rebuilding the Fifth Ring of Luoyang Mission: After a long period of hard work, the new city of Luoyang has been revitalized, and various buildings have risen from the ruins to gradually improve the city's functions. The prospects are very good, and the rebuilders of Luoyang should not be satisfied with the current achievements, it is time to upgrade Luoyang to a second-class city, so that Luoyang can take a step closer to the prosperity of the past!
The task requirement of the fifth ring is to upgrade Luoyang to a second-class city!
Ah Niu breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw the mission description of the fifth ring. This is not too much to ask, in fact, the initial tasks of the chain quest are relatively simple, and the later you go, the more difficult it becomes.
"Deputy City Lord Chen, how far is Luoyang City from being upgraded to a second-level city?"
In the administrative center of Luoyang City, Ah Niu asked unhurriedly, and the words "Deputy City Lord Chen" were particularly clear. Unless communicating privately, Ah Niu is usually accustomed to addressing the position of his subordinates in the presence of other people. This is not an official tone, but Ah Niu deliberately established the prestige of important subordinates in front of others, especially an important person like Chen Shuo who is in a high position at a young age and has not long experience in Fengxiang, it is even more necessary to do so.
Even the biggest city lord in Fengxiang City called Chen Shuo so solemnly, who would dare to treat Chen Shuo as inappropriate?
Chen Shuo was very calm, and said in a loud voice: "Lord, all the basic buildings in Luoyang have been completed, and there are no problems in terms of buildings. Now Luoyang is far from the second-tier city, the only difference is the population, in the two months that you went to sea, we have resettled thousands of displaced people in 6 consecutive years, plus the 5,000 villagers who migrated from the main city, in fact, the population gap is not large, less than 1,200 people. ”
"Is it just a little bit? It seems that the time I went to sea did not affect the reconstruction process of Luoyang. How long does it take for 1,200 people to finish, I don't have much time to stay here. A certain city lord frowned and said, Feng Xiang has too many stalls, although there are several deputy city lords who can take charge of themselves, Ah Niu still feels that he lacks skills.
"Ten days is enough for the normal attraction of displaced people. If the lord can't wait that long, his subordinates can also use some tricks, and after half an hour. Chen Shuo said with a smile.
Chen Shuo's trick is to retire the army and return the people.
The population of Luoyang's upgrade to a second-tier city is less than 1,200 people, and the 2,000 soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion are enough to fill this gap, temporarily "discharge" to increase the city's population, and then re-enlist after the city upgrade is completed. It's a pretty convenient option, though. Feng Xiang needs to pay for conscription, which can be regarded as a manifestation of "money for time".
There are a lot of things in Fengxiang City that need to be further dealt with, especially in the territory of Longfei City, it seems that there are some new situations that have emerged, Ah Niu does not have much time to stay in Luoyang, and it has become a natural choice to endure grief and pay money. Ah Niu didn't know if he would be able to continue to appear here in ten days, if he didn't have time to withdraw, the process of rebuilding Luoyang would be slowed down, and it would be too cost-effective.
With more than 1,000 soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion taking off their uniforms, Luoyang has been upgraded to a second-class city, and the reconstruction task has entered a new stage!
"Ding-dong. Luoyang has been upgraded to a second-level city, the fifth ring of the task of rebuilding Luoyang has been completed, and the mission has entered the sixth ring, congratulations to Zheng Aniu players. ”
"The fifth ring of the rebuilding Luoyang mission has been completed, and this link will get 12,000 points of experience for the chain of tasks, and you can choose to randomly redeem the huàn reward now. Or accumulate enough mission experience points to redeem a higher level reward, please make a choice within 10 seconds. ”
Continue to accumulate mission experience!
Rebuild the Sixth Ring of Luoyang Mission: Luoyang has been upgraded to a second-tier city, although it is far from the scale of the past, but it has finally completed the first leap after being burned. The fire that Dong Zhuojun set in Luoyang not only turned the century-old ancient capital into rubble, but also wiped out the towns around Luoyang, and Luoyang, which became a second-tier city, did not have a single affiliated village and town! Now is the time to change that.
Mission: To make Luoyang gain the leadership of the five town-level territories in the Sili region, so that they can accept the jurisdiction of Luoyang.
When he saw this condition, Ah Niu couldn't help but sigh, "The leadership of the five town-level territories in the Sili region? Is it to obtain a subsidiary territory for Luoyang in disguise? ”
Luoyang is a system city, before being burned by Dong Zhuo, Luoyang City was the political and cultural center of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and all regions of the Eastern Han Dynasty had to obey the orders of Luoyang, and Luoyang City was extremely prosperous at that time.
During the reconstruction process, Ah Niu appeared, Luoyang did not have the concept of a subordinate territory at all, at least it could not be realized through the construction of guò like the territory of the lord player, and Ah Niu was still quite surprised at that time. Now it seems that the sixth ring of the chain of missions is obviously to rebuild the executor of the mission, and expand the sphere of influence of Luoyang through guò's external expansion!
No one would be willing to become someone else's vassal, and there was only one way to win the leadership of Luoyang's five town-level territories in the Sili region: war!
This will mean that the sixth ring of the rebuilding Luoyang chain of missions has finally reached the stage of resorting to force.
If it was in the past, Ah Niu might have welcomed such a task very much, the strength of the Fengxiang army was there, and sending troops to fight was simply too simple for Ah Niu.
But now, a certain city lord couldn't cry or laugh, "Why have the recent things come together, the Qingzhou territory is about to send troops to Youzhou, and Liangzhou may not be too peaceful, and now even the task of rebuilding Luoyang needs to be killed...... Even if the realm has just undergone a full-scale expansion. But to cope with so many war demands, our little strength cannot do it. ”
The only good news is that the Sixth Ring mission requires control, but it is only at the town level.
"Luoyang now has two thousand mountain character battalions, as well as two thousand combined forces of Huoyun City and Maple Leaf City, and four thousand troops attack five towns in turn, it shouldn't be too difficult!"
Chen Shuo glanced at a certain city lord and said solemnly: "Lord, the situation may not be as optimistic as you imagined. In order to ensure the safety of Luoyang, we can only mobilize a maximum of 2,000 troops, and the sortie must be completed in a very short time, the nearest towns to Luoyang are sixty miles away, and Luoyang City, which is not garrisoned by cavalry, is not able to fight a blitzkrieg.
This is not the biggest difficulty, the real problem is that there are no neutral towns at all in the two hundred miles around Luoyang, and our opponent will only be the Inhuman Lord! If our actions are too ostentatious, once the Inhuman Lord feels the pressure, it is still unknown whether we can take the five town-level territories along the way, but it may make Luoyang face an even greater threat! ”
The expression on Ah Niu's face was very strict, Chen Shuo's analysis was reasonable, and whenever Ah Niu thought that Feng Xiang might be on the opposite side of the other lord players in the Sixth Ring Mission, he felt like a fight. As a fellow lord player, Ah Niu knows that no lord wants to become someone else's vassal, and in that situation, resistance is inevitable.
Rebuilding Luoyang is just a system task, and the conquered territories will not become Feng Xiang's private property, is it necessary for Feng Xiang to take a huge risk at this time and blatantly launch a war of aggression against other lord players?
You must know that the bloody smell of the Fengxiang tragedy has not dissipated, Fengxiang City has offended a large number of adventurous players, and because of the emerging territory near the "bullying" mission of rebuilding Luoyang, it is certain that a certain city lord has fallen into a cruel and unkind infamy.
You must know that Fengxiang City is now facing an important war, and this time the opponent is no longer the Yellow Turban Army, but Gongsun Zhan, who is also known for his bravery. So far, Ah Niu is not very sure about the outcome of this war, and the only thing he knows is that Feng Xiang can only fight, even if he tastes the bitter fruit of defeat in the end!
A few days ago, the opinions of Chen Gong conveyed by the five rats of Jincheng made Ah Niu feel strongly uneasy, "Gongtai knew that there must be a reason why I wanted to transfer back the first dead soldier, but he did not hesitate to point out that it was inappropriate, it seems that the shape of Liangzhou has also changed a little!" ”
Thinking of this, Ah Niu couldn't help but sigh.
"The task of rebuilding the sixth ring of Luoyang, don't be busy with action for the time being, we don't have enough troops for the time being, I will send someone to Luoyang to help you when the time comes." During this period of Luoyang's reconstruction work, to recruit a large number of displaced people and absorb all kinds of craftsmen, redundant middle and senior craftsman talents, every month together to send people back to Fengxiang City, you should understand, Luoyang City is not ours after all, Fengxiang is our foundation. ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand!" Chen Shuo said solemnly.
Ah Niu nodded with satisfaction and walked away with a smile.
In the Luoyang City Lord's Office, Ah Niu found Lu Zhi with a jar of Baihua wine in his hand.
As soon as he entered the office, a certain city lord happily put the Baihua wine on the table, and said with a smile: "Sir, Ah Niu is looking for you to drink." ”
Lu Zhiyi, who was reading a book alone, looked out the door suspiciously, and said in surprise: "Just the two of us?" ”
"yes."
"What about Liu Sanxia? He is also a heavy drinker, if he knew that you asked me to drink and didn't call him, it is estimated that he would jump up and rush. Although Lu Zhi said this, he still put down the book with a smile and walked to the opposite side and sat down.
"Hehe, the eldest brother said not to let the third brother drink too much, it's none of my business!" A certain city lord said with an innocent face.
Lu Zhi's eyes were blazing, and after looking at Ah Niu for a while, he sighed: "Say, what is the difficult thing to decide if you are looking for me to drink today?" ”
(I don't have time today, I only had time to code 5,000 words, and the 1,000 I owe will be made up tomorrow, so I hereby explain) (To be continued,)
