Chapter 588: Landlords are also people
"Hex? Are you sure it's hex? β
After hearing the return of the two martial artists. Lu Zhi's expression was grim, and he asked closely.
"That...... It should indeed be witchcraft, at that time, the two of us were in the nearby treetops, and there was a black-robed woman in the ancient city of Nabo, and we could see it clearly. Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed color, and there was a strong wind blowing straight towards Flowwind Town from all directions, if it weren't for that, Flowwind Town might have lasted three or five more minutes.
Also, those soldiers made of beans were not only quite durable, but also fearless of death, and the troops of Flowwind Town were already frightened stupid by the end, and I saw with my own eyes that there were a few of them there, and they were cut down to the ground without hiding. β
A martial artist stated, with a hint of horror on his face, and it was clear that he was also frightened.
Most people are naturally in awe of the unknown, especially the spells cast by the demon girl of Bo Ancient City, which are completely outside the scope of the martial artist's cognition, and his horror is not unusual. This time I saw and heard, and the two martial artists suddenly realized: the original level of martial arts. It's not the only measure of how strong a person is!
"You go down and have a good rest for a few days, and you don't have to do any other tasks first. What you saw outside of Flowwind Town, keep it a secret and don't spread it, understand? Chen Shuo glanced at Liu Xing, a rare stern sΓΉ, before that, he mostly showed people with extraordinary affinity, which shows that this matter has made him feel tricky.
When the two martial artists retired, only Lu Zhi, Chen Shuo, Liu Xing, and Zhou Tai were left in the office, and these four people were the core pillars of Feng Xiang in Luoyang.
Zhou Tai, who had not spoken before, was surprised, "Aren't these two martial artists dazzled, and they are still flying sand and stones?" The wind blows in one place? Sprinkle beans into soldiers? How can there be such a strange thing. β
Liu Xing glared at Zhou Tai angrily, "Don't pretend to understand if you don't understand, those two martial artists have always been resolute in carrying out their tasks, how can there be a reason for two people to be dazzled at the same time?" Everyone saw their expressions just now, and that frightened look was not something that could be pretended to be. β
Zhou Tai smiled and was silent, he and Liu Xing had been together in Luoyang for a long time, and they had already been quite familiar with each other, knowing that Liu Xing had a straightforward personality, and he was not angry with Liu Xing.
There was a sudden silence in the office.
Chen Shuo turned sideways to Lu Zhi and said, "Mr. Lu, what is your opinion on this matter?" β
"Alas", Lu Zhi sighed and said with a wry smile: "I believe that what those two martial artists said is true, because ...... I've seen that happen to myself! β
Lu Zhi's words made everyone startled, "Mr. Lu has experienced it? β
"Yes!"
Lu Zhi's eyes unconsciously looked at the wall in the room. It was as if his gaze could look beyond the walls and into the memories of the past. In fact, it is not far from the time of the birth of the matter, in the early days of the Yellow Turban Uprising.
When the Yellow Turban Rebellion arose, the 36 parties rose up at the same time, attacking the county like a bamboo, so that the Eastern Han Dynasty was shocked, in the case of the general He Jin leading the troops to defend the safety of Luoyang, sent three large armies to attack the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, among which led the troops to the Hebei Julu battlefield to fight against the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao, it was Lu Zhi.
It was at that time that Lu Zhi saw the power of witchcraft!
Objectively speaking, Lu Zhi's use of the art of war was stronger than Zhang Jiao, who was good at drawing talismans and preaching, and the equipment and combat power of the imperial court army to quell the rebellion were far better than the Yellow Turban Army with ragged sleeves, and the logistics supply was even more unattainable than the Yellow Turban Army. However, Lu Zhi's army was unable to take advantage of several duels with the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Hebei, because the three Zhang Jiao brothers used witchcraft.
Scattering beans into soldiers, the situation changes, these are the specialties of the generals of heaven, earth, and people!
If it weren't for Lu Zhi's steady use of troops, and he didn't mess up after suddenly encountering the demon, I'm afraid that the Hebei Pingchao Army would have been defeated a long time ago. After stabilizing his position, Lu Zhi ordered people to prepare black dog blood and feces and other filth to break Zhang Jiao's spell, and he couldn't hold on to it, so that he could maintain an invincible and undefeated trend.
Therefore, Lu Zhi's impression of witchcraft can be described as extremely profound!
"In the Yellow Turban Army, there are a lot of superficial spells, but if you want to easily change the situation and scatter beans into soldiers, as far as I know, there are only three Zhang Jiao brothers. The important figures in the Yellow Turban Rebellion back then, such as the so-called divine envoy Zhang Mancheng, the Bocai of the Yingchuan Army, and Ma Yuanyi, who won the trust of Zhang Jiao, did not have such ability, otherwise, the imperial court wanted to pacify the Yellow Turban Rebellion. I'm afraid it's going to take a lot of work. β
Only the three Zhang Jiao brothers have that ability, whether it is Zhang Jiao's intention to hide his secrets, or the talent requirements of the person who practice witchcraft are too strict, these are not important, the important thing is the true identity of the black-robed woman in Bo Gucheng!
Chen Shuo frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Let's not mention the identity of the black-robed woman for the time being, and it is not appropriate to make assertions until there is no conclusive evidence." I always felt that this thing that Bo Gucheng did was a little strange, running all the way from Jingzhao County to Liufeng Town, attacking a second-level township, why did he come? β
Zhou Tai and Liu Xing are both the same, these two are obviously impossible to say one, two, three, seeing that no one answered, Liu Xing, who was confused, smiled curtly: "Maybe that invincible Dongzi has nothing to do, he is really boring, Liufeng Town is seventy miles west of Luoyang, running under our noses to hang around, and I don't know how to come to us to report first." β
Zhou Tai was also there silly, "Yes, they should come to Luoyang first and say hello in advance." β
However, Liu Xing's joke shocked Lu Zhihu's body, his pupils contracted, a touch of suspicion in his eyes suddenly brightened, and Chen Shuo's eyes flashed. The two glanced at each other and exchanged glances, and each understood the shock in each other's hearts.
Chen Shuo solemnly made a gesture to Liu Xing, which couldn't help but make Liu Xing quite unaccustomed, just when the second monk was confused, Chen Shuo said: "Chen Shuo is one of the deputy city lords of Fengxiang, and the lord has entrusted the affairs of Luoyang to me. If it weren't for Liu Daxia's reminder, Chen Shuo wouldn't have realized the key for a while, and he would have almost broken the big thing! β
Seeing that Zhou Tai and Liu Xing are still unclear. Lu Zhi sighed and shared the concerns in the hearts of the two.
In the past, Bo Gucheng basically only attacked city-level territory, but this time it uncharacteristically attacked a second-level township that did not have much oil and water, and its situation was suspicious!
is not expanding in Jingzhao County, but coming to the suburbs of Luoyang to exhibit, which is even more suspicious!
In just a township, the ancient city lord of Bo personally led troops to the expedition, and even dispatched a demon girl who knew magic, which was still suspicious!
There are so many doubts, and after Liu Xing's inadvertent joke, there is gradually a clear answer: the defeated Liufeng Town is only seventy miles away from Luoyang City, although it is not the closest player territory to Luoyang, but it is only ten miles away from the closest circle of territory. With Bo Gucheng's move, it is difficult to get rid of whether there is an intention to demonstrate to Fengxiang.
Feng Xiang expanded the power network to the Sili region due to the task of rebuilding Luoyang, although he did not have the idea of competing for power in Sili, but the invincible Dongzi was dissatisfied and intended to compete with each other, which was also a reasonable thing.
Ah Niu is recognized as the first lord player, and Fengxiang City, which is almost step ahead from the beginning of the game, is proud of its strength in the player's territory; The invincible Dongzi is the newly rising lord upstart, and no one in the Sili region can match its edge, and the contest between the two may be regarded as a duel between the old and new forces of the lord.
Although these are just speculations, it is still difficult to determine what the real situation is, but Chen Shuo and others still dare not be careless. The troops and martial artists stationed in the garrison immediately raised the alert level, and dozens of martial artists began to carefully collect information on the ancient city of Bo, and the actions of the ancient city of Bo such as external campaigns will be under the supervision of the Fengxiang people!
After the discussion was over, Chen Shuo immediately contacted Jin Ge Tiema, the gang leader of GuΓ² Dragon Villa. reported the incident to Ah Niu. A certain city lord who had just flown back to Fengxiang from Liangzhou also immediately realized the severity of the matter, and brought Pang Tong over, and the two discussed behind closed doors.
The two quickly unified their views: Bo Gucheng's military action against Liufeng Town is by no means a normal external expansion, and it is basically certain that the goal of the invincible Dongzi is Luoyang, or rather, the ultimate goal of Bo Gucheng is Fengxiang City!
It is not for nothing that the two of them made such judgments.
"My lord, it seems that the military operation in Bo Gucheng has nothing to do with us, and Chen Shuo and Mr. Lu Zhi's worries are probably just too sensitive, but in fact, they are not. That black-robed woman who knows how to do witchcraft is the key to the whole thing! If my guess is correct, the invincible Dongzi will send troops to Liufeng Town because of that woman; Knowing that Luoyang is undergoing reconstruction, he still brazenly demonstrated to us, also because of that woman! β
Pang Tong said categorically.
The assertion of this royal strategist is not unreasonable. "My lord, I think that woman who knows witchcraft is likely to be the remnant of the Yellow Turban Army, and witchcraft was an important means for Zhang Jiao to win over believers in the first place. Zhang Jiao and * fucked in whose hands, the lord should not forget it; Before the fat dragon baby took charge of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army turned into a pile of dry bones near Fengxiang City; In the first battle of Luoyang, most of the elite of the Yellow Turban Army in the world were lost in battle, and many famous Black Mountain generals fell; Not only that, the encirclement and suppression encountered by the Yellow Turban Army after the Luoyang War are actually inseparable from our Fengxiang City.
Therefore, if I am a member of the Yellow Turban Army, when the Fuxing City with a powerful vacuum cleaner has been destroyed, the enemy I hate the most and want to get rid of the most is none other than Fengxiang City! β
Speaking of this, Pang Tong glanced at a certain city lord with a smile, and said bitterly: "Lord, your previous style of acting was too high-profile......
Ah Niu was dumbfounded, "No, I'm all forced...... No, if that woman is a remnant of the Yellow Turban Army, why did she endure until now? Also, now the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in the world is the fat dragon baby, if the woman is a Yellow Turban, there is no reason why the baby will not inform us in advance, and when the Black Mountain Army is transferred from Jizhou to Youzhou, it will not ask the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou to launch a suicide attack on Bohai! β
Pang Tong said: "What if she didn't join the army under the command of the fat dragon baby at all?" I thought that the black-robed woman would not have joined Bo Gucheng for too long, otherwise there would be no reason to show up during the battle against Dong Zhuo. β
After thinking for a while, Pang Tong continued: "Could it be that the woman has been in retreat and cultivation until she has achieved the great completion of the demon art before she takes revenge? β
Perhaps, this is the only possibility.
In any case, Bogucheng is very honored to be included in the list of "potential enemies".
The war in Youzhou is imminent, and no one dares to pack a ticket whether Liangzhou is safe or not, and now that Bo Gucheng suddenly extended its tentacles to the suburbs of Luoyang, Fengxiang's shape is not optimistic.
In view of the difficult situation of Fengxiang City facing multi-front operations at this time, and the shortage of war resources, Ah Niu did not want Luoyang to make any more extraneous branches. Invincible Dongzi has not clearly expressed his hostility towards Feng Xiang at the moment. Ah Niu ordered Chen Shuo to wait and see what happened to Bo Gucheng's actions, unless it directly threatened the interests of Fengxiang City, it was best not to provoke trouble.
At this time, Ah Niu hated that he didn't have three heads and six arms, "I'm forked, the family has a big business and a lot of pressure, even if I am a small landlord, I don't have to do this, right?" Landlords are also people! β
Soon a new situation appeared, so that the wishful thinking of a certain city lord could not be launched.
Following the Chibi Pan Yu of Liufeng Town, the invincible Dongzi set his sights on the invincible town of Feifei, and the officials of the ancient city of Bo gave an ultimatum to Feifei to accept the reorganization of the ancient city of Bo within a time limit, "We are here to liberate the suffering people of the invincible town!" β
Invincible Town did not have the strength to resist the invasion of Bo Ancient City, and the lessons of Liufeng Town were there, and Fei Fei knew that he had no way to settle it after learning of Invincible Dongzi's intentions, so he contacted Ah Niu very simply.
"Brother Niu, the invincible Dongzi wants to me!"
Before the Battle of Luoyang, only the invincible town strictly abided by the grain sales promise reached with Fengxiang, and during the battle, Feifei also sent the only troops to help the battle, and the blood of four hundred invincible town men was sprinkled in the ancient city of Luoyang, which was twice the maximum strength of the first-class township at that time.
In his mind, Ah Niu has always had Feifei as a friend.
Yu Gong, the existence of Invincible Town, can allow Luoyang City to get the necessary support nearby, and the exemplary role played by Invincible Town among the lords around Luoyang is very important to Fengxiang's reconstruction plan.
Invincible Town, can't help but save!
Regardless of whether the troops stationed in Luoyang can withstand the all-out attack of Bo Gucheng, once the skin is torn, Feng Xiang is likely to fall into the embarrassment of being attacked on several sides. Ruo A Niu is in the position of the invincible Dongzi, and his prey is suddenly placed under the protection of others, which is obviously a naked provocation and finds an excellent reason to start a war.
This made Ah Niu, who had originally made up his mind not to clash head-on with Bo Gucheng as much as possible for the time being, very difficult. It is obviously inappropriate to directly send troops to help, which will make the temporary peace between Fengxiang City and Bo Ancient City come to naught, and the possibility of a full-scale conflict will be greatly increased.
Objectively speaking, with the strong strength of Fengxiang City, Ah Niu has never been afraid of the challenge of any player force, and Bo Gucheng, which has Zhang San and the demon girl, is no exception. The problem is that the current Fengxiang City is deeply trapped in the whirlpool of internal worries (Long Fei) and external troubles (Youzhou), and it is the time when Fengxiang is the most tight!
It's like two masters facing each other, and before the fight starts, the stronger master's two hands have been handcuffed, and his skills have stopped seven out of ten; Although the opponent's strength is slightly inferior, it can fight with all its might, and the gap is likely to rewrite the outcome of the battle.
At the critical moment, Ah Niu had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
Fei Fei of Invincible Town was anxiously waiting for a reply from a certain city lord, when a system prompt appeared in front of him.
"The leader of the Fengxiang Alliance invited your invincible town to join the alliance, do you accept it?"
This is an invitation that Fei Fei can't refuse, of course accept it!
The Fengxiang Alliance created by Ah Niu has one more member.
After becoming a member of the alliance, the intimate relationship between Invincible Town and Feng Xiang has become very obvious, the members of the alliance can watch and help each other, and they can also enter the territory of their allies at will during wartime, and the enemy of any member of the alliance is also the enemy of the alliance, and they can fight without going through the declaration of war system. No one wants to fight against an alliance on their own, and even the first city in the world wouldn't be so big unless it was necessary!
Ah Niu just pulled the invincible town into the Fengxiang Alliance, which was a silent warning to the ancient city of Bo, "If you dare to touch my allies, you are Fengxiang's enemy!" β
This kind of warning is somewhat of a sword-snatching meaning, compared to the tough move of directly sending troops to help defend the invincible town, such an action is much more gentle, and the harmony between Feng Xiang and Bogu on the surface can still be maintained for a while.
According to Fei Fei's description, he has never had anything to do with the invincible Dongzi, which also excludes the possibility of a grudge between the two. Therefore, if the invincible Dongzi is not dizzy, the wisest thing to do is to endure the unhappiness in his heart and choose another goal. If the invincible Dongzi still refuses to stop and insists on using force against the invincible town, he is either hot in the brain or has another purpose.
Ah Niu's action, why didn't he have the purpose of trying to test the invincible Dongzi?
But Ah Niu himself also knew that it was basically impossible for Bo Gucheng to risk a war with the Fengxiang Alliance and forcibly attack Feifei's invincible town, but the strength of Fengxiang City was not something that Bo Gucheng would definitely be able to take. A certain city lord expected that the invincible Dongzi could only retreat in disgrace and suffer a dumb loss.
Ah Niu's guess was completely consistent with the facts, when the officials of Bo Gucheng brought back the news that "Invincible Town has joined the Fengxiang Alliance", although Invincible Dongzi's face was very ugly, he still rationally chose to retreat and continued to look for the next target.
The danger of Invincible Town is lifted, and Feng Xiang's stable development situation in Luoyang can continue to be maintained, and there is no better result for Ah Niu.
Returning to the territory, Ah Niu continued his "idleness" while waiting for news from the Taran tribe. In order to obtain information in the shortest possible time, the Canglan Navy Division specially sent a light fast boat to send Elder Qianluo back, and after arriving at Puerto Prince in Youzhou, the warship will temporarily stop there until it receives a reply from the Talan tribe.
"Judging from Liu Yu's personality and the tense relationship between him and Gongsun Zhan, it should be more likely that he agreed to invite us to Youzhou to 'mediate' the dispute." Ah Niu ran to the town today, chatting with the villagers, while thinking so.
Without Liu Yu's nod, Feng Xiangjun's battle in Youzhou would have no legal basis, but it might be infamous with a butt of infamy, and Ah Niu's reputation in the NPC world would also come to naught, which was extremely cost-effective. Ah Niu has already secretly made up his mind, "Without anyone invited, Feng Xiang's troops will never set foot in Youzhou for half a step!" β
Ah Niu's visit to the town this time was not only to inspect the needs of the people in the territory, but also to see the operation of the top dock led by Jiang Qi.
Fengxiang's top shipyard has been operating at full capacity almost since the establishment of the Canglan Naval Division, and the master shipbuilder Jiang Qi is Jiang Qin's father after all, and he will definitely do his best to support Aiko's work. In addition, watching the warships launch from the dock, Jiang Qi's sense of accomplishment and pride filled his chest, and he loved shipbuilding.
Backed by a large number of craftsmen and the deep pockets of the territory, shipbuilding in the shipyard of Terray Town was progressing rapidly. It is not a problem to meet the needs of the fishermen's fishing boats, even if it is an ordinary warship, it is enough for the Canglan sailors to use, Jiang Qi originally thought that he could let the craftsmen of the dock take a good rest, but with the successful development of the hazy ship, let the sailors use the needs of more advanced warships, so that the dock continues to be busy.
What made Jiang Qi most painful was that the Navy Division had expanded its army, and the number of people from 1,000 was increased to 3,000.
He calculated that even if the dockyard shelved the construction of all civilian ships and continued to work hard for half a year, it might not be able to meet the needs of the sailors for warships.
It is obviously not possible to abandon civilian vessels, without which fishermen are cut off from their livelihoods. What's more, a certain city lord was dissatisfied that the Canglan Sailor had become a semi-professional transport brigade, and asked Jiang Qi to do his best to form a merchant fleet with a large enough carrying capacity.
Jiang Qi was so aggrieved that he was about to cry.
"No, I have to talk to the lord of the city!"
