Lin Ran thought for a moment, although Dong Zhuojun retreated now, there were still heavy troops left in Xingyang, which were difficult to deal with and should not be provoked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And the hundreds of thousands of troops of the alliance army are really not cost-effective to stay here all the time, and it is definitely necessary to withdraw the troops and return to Yangzhou.

"After the Battle of Tiger Pass, the last bit of majesty and influence of the Eastern Han royal family has completely disappeared! Territory and the army will become the only criterion for measuring a person's strength, and the world will set off a big war for territory! This is no longer a competition between NPCs, and all the strong player strength will also be involved! I think it's time for our alliance to get a piece of territory that we really have full control over! “

Jiu Jing's proposal made everyone present shine, Lin Ran also nodded to Jiu Jing, Jiu Jing's words were on the point, this is also what Lin Ran has been thinking about in the past few days, the territory, after Dong Zhuojun's westward move to Luoyang, the territory and land of the Han Dynasty will no longer be the property of the Ninety-Five Supreme Son of Heaven in the palace, the world is strong and capable, and it can be taken! And in the end, those who can annex all the territory of the Han family will be able to achieve the world's achievements!

Lin Ran's right index finger tapped lightly on the table, and said: "I remember, most of the cities in Yangzhou are still under the control of the remnants of Dong Zhuo's army, if we can take these cities from their hands, and Dong Zhuo will fall in the future, we can be called the rightful masters of these cities and prefectures." “

Ah Fei and Chu Tiankuo's hearts moved, the alliance has developed for so long, and they are finally about to start seizing their own cities!

A city, often the political, economic, and cultural center of a state and county, has enormous wealth and productive capacity, and the benefits are far greater than those of the player's villages. Players may be able to develop their villages to city level in the future, but that will require a lot of money and time, and it may take many years to play, and if you can get a city now, the entire alliance will undoubtedly grow tremendously.

"Let me mention that after Dong Min, the assassin of Yangzhou, escaped, the entire Yangzhou has no leader, and there is no strong NPC strength for the time being, only a small number of remnants of Dong Zhuo's army are still entrenched in these cities, so it is reasonable for us to attack any city in Yangzhou where Dong Zhuojun's strength is entrenched, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! We have a better chance than any other player in the state to be the first to win a city! Wine said.

All the staff officers trembled, their hearts were extremely excited at this time, if such a battle is successful, it will definitely be recorded in the history of the imperial journey, a big book! Because this is the player's real, as an independent force, standing on this chaotic historical stage!

"It's just, where are we going to fight?" The staff officers looked at Lin Ran, and they actually had a rough idea of the target in their hearts, but they still asked Lin Ran for advice.

Lin Ran stretched out his hand and pointed to Yuzhang County on the battle map, and pointed heavily at the important town in the north of Yuzhang County, Nanchang City!

"Nanchang Heavy City, there are still more than 8,000 Dong Zhuo soldiers, after occupying Nanchang City, my Xiaobai Alliance can truly be called to fully control Yuzhang!"

The meeting was finally decided, and the alliance troops returned to Yangzhou on the same day and began to prepare for action!

"By the way, are there any other alliances and forces in Yangzhou doing now?" Lin Ran asked Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying said: "All the top alliance forces in Yangzhou have begun to withdraw their troops and go to Yangzhou, they acted in a hurry, obviously they have a point, maybe their purpose is the same as our plan." “

Lin Ran smiled and said: "Our Yangzhou really has the most fuel-efficient lamps, all of them are like monkeys, and they can't smell any flesh." Looks like we've got to hurry, don't let them take the city before we do. “

The first alliance to take the city, this is a very huge aura, and it is also very beneficial for the development of a large league, not because of any vanity, but because of the prestige and attractiveness of an alliance.

On the side of the Kwantung Alliance, many player armies began to withdraw and return to their spheres of influence, and some NPC princes also returned to their own territory. To tell the truth, in this huge battle, neither the Kwantung princes nor Dong Zhuo received particularly big benefits, and the only thing they got after the battle was Luoyang City, which was reduced to ashes and ruins.

Lin Ran led the Xiaobai Alliance army from Luoyang in the Central Plains to the south back to Yangzhou, passing through Yuzhou on the way, and arriving at the edge of Jiujiang County in the north of Yangzhou.

There was news from the front-line sentinel that the road ahead was blocked by Dong Zhuo's soldiers, and it was no longer passable, and if the alliance army wanted to return to Yuzhang County, it would need to take a detour to Lujiang County from the west.

"What's going on on the border of Jiujiang County? Why is it blocked? Lin Ran asked the sentry rider on the frame of the Chinese army.

The sentinel cavalry hugged his hand and reported: "Before the former Yangzhou assassin Dong Min fled from Yangzhou, he left 3,000 Dong Zhuojun and a Dong Zhuojun general in Liyang City, after this period of development, the Dong army generals in Liyang City recruited more than 20,000 people, and completely mastered Liyang City. This Dong Zhuojun is strong, and all players can only go around when they pass through Jiujiang County, and it is estimated that only after which NPC warlord arrives in Yangzhou will have the ability to destroy them. ”

"Liyang City has been completely controlled by Dong Jun?" Lin Ran pondered for a while, he only ordered a detour, there are now at least more than 20,000 Dong soldiers in Liyang City, and they occupy the advantages of the city, Lin Ran is not willing to provoke them rashly, if you want a headache, let the players in Jiujiang County have a headache.

After Lin Ran gave the order, he suddenly remembered a person, Zhu Zhi!

Zhu Zhi had been serving in the Yangzhou Assassin History Department in Liyang City before, and when Dong Min came to Yangzhou to serve as the Assassin History, he also appointed him as the general of a team of soldiers and horses in the city, but I don't know what happened to him now.

"Send a few people to infiltrate Liyang City, I want you to help me find out the news of a person." Lin Ran ordered.

The news soon arrived, and some players of the Xiaobai Alliance Army infiltrated Liyang City and brought back the news of Zhu Zhi to Lin Ran.

"Zhu Zhi was captured? Now imprisoned in a dungeon?! After listening to the report of his players, Lin Ran was very shocked, and hurriedly asked what happened and why.

It turned out that Zhu Zhi had always been very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's troubled government and Dong Min's looting policy, he was a courtier loyal to the Han family, so although he was attached to Dong Min on the surface, he had actually been secretly accumulating strength and preparing to resist Dong Zhuo's forces.
