After the eunuch sent by the Empress Dowager Cixi entered the Northeast Territory, he was ambushed by more than 20 players, and all four members of his party were killed.

Xuanyuan Jian snatched the holy decree, but he did not rush to let Zengqi declare himself, but returned to Shengjing to help Zengqi install his henchmen. He asked Zengqi to declare self-reliance at a particular time, and he had to declare self-reliance before the Empress Dowager Cixi knew that the eunuch had been killed and issued a second edict.

When the Empress Dowager Cixi issued a second edict to deprive Zengqi of his official position, Zengqi declared that he would be a thief again. Before the Empress Dowager Cixi issued another decree, the provincial governors would think that Zengqi, like them, just did not want to be governed by the imperial court, and would not consider Zengqi to be a rebel.

It is not possible to declare self-reliance too early, Zengqi does not control the army under his command enough, and must control all the troops in Shengjing before announcing it. Declaring self-reliance a little later can be fully prepared, and at the same time, it can also complete the dispatch of troops, concentrate troops in Haicheng Niuzhuang and launch an attack on Yingkou by surprise, and take Chen Ba by surprise.

Xuanyuan Jian and Zengqi were busy arranging, and Chen Hao in Yingkou was still busy arranging the bandits, but he faintly felt that something was wrong. This time, after he signed a joint letter with Jin Chang and others, Li Lianying had already informed him of the content of the Empress Dowager Cixi's holy decree, and asked him to prepare to suppress the bandits with all his might. According to the normal itinerary, the decree should have been issued a day ago, and there has been no movement until now, and it is likely that there will be a change.

For this reason, he asked his subordinates to inquire about the movements of the General's Mansion in Shengjing, and he bought a lot of people in the General's Mansion in Shengjing, but Xuanyuan Jian was very cautious, and the subordinates in the General's Mansion were not allowed to approach Zengqi's study. Xuanyuan Jian and Zengqi's henchmen were also very secretive when they controlled the army, and Chen Hao had no eyeliner in Shengjingcheng's army, so he didn't know that the crisis had come.

I didn't get any news from the General's Palace, but the movement of Shengjing's army still showed some clues. After Chen Hao received the information that Shengjing's army was frequently mobilized, he came to the conclusion that Xuanyuan Jian might take a risk to induce Zengqi to rebel.

Chen Hao found Yang Du with the sorted information, and after expressing his worries, Yang Du nodded and said: "My lord guessed correctly, Xuanyuan Jian and Zengqi are most likely to take risks, and the will of the imperial court was not issued probably because they intercepted and killed the angel who passed the decree." Judging from the movement of Shengjing's army, now Zengqi and Xuanyuan Jian are to control the army, and once they declare that the goal of self-reliance is ours, we must be prepared. ”

Yang Du was sure that Chen Hao no longer doubted that Yang Du, who had the emperor's heart to learn stunts, had a high chance of success, and he believed in Yang Du's judgment. He was taken aback when he came to this conclusion, he hadn't thought of this before because he had underestimated Xuanyuan Sword's courage and determination.

Now that he has an understanding of the standards of smart computers, the rationality of the game is put in the first place by Genesis, but he can restore history while following rationality, and Genesis will try to restore history as much as possible. History has a huge inertia, Xuanyuan Sword bewitches Zengqi to rebel and generate a task on its own, and it is also a task to change the plot, which is against the system. Even if Xuanyuan Jian felt that it was a good deal to do this, but if he chose the system as his opponent, the system would have a good chance of making him lose decently.

Chen Hao was not very anxious after learning that Xuanyuan Sword bewitched Zengqi to become self-reliant, and Zengqi would send troops to attack Yingkou after he became independent, but there were more than 20,000 NPC officers and soldiers under Zengqi. Zengqi, who is the general of Shengjing, has a lot of mission authority, and he can recruit about 50,000 player soldiers, and the strength is estimated to be close to 80,000.

Chen Hao was not in a hurry because he was also contacting the horse bandits on a large scale, and the Yingkou patrol battalion had nine battalion heads, with a full amount of 9,000 people. After Du Lisan contacted the horse bandits and the militia group, Chen Hao was able to have 20,000 troops, although the strength was very different, but with Wu Peifu's commander, plus the NPC soldiers under his command were all veterans who had participated in large-scale battles, there was no problem in defending for a while.

The system will try its best to restore history under the condition of ensuring the rationality of the game, Chen Hao is on the side of the system this time, as long as it is delayed for a period of time, Zengqi and Xuanyuan Sword may reveal flaws. Chen Hao may not be able to catch the flaws of the two, but there must be no loopholes in the task of changing the plot, and once there are loopholes, the system will seize the opportunity to restore history.

With the help of the super military division of the system, Chen Hao is confident that he can win this game, and Zeng Qi's announcement of self-reliance can also solve a big problem for him. Xuanyuan Sword arranged twenty-four players to establish a base in Yingkou, if Chen Hao could not be eliminated, he would be held responsible, and Chen Hao's most important task after Zengqi became self-reliant was to deal with Zengqi, and those "bandits" would not hold him accountable no matter how they tossed the court.

When Zengqi sent troops to attack Yingkou, Xuanyuan Sword would definitely let the personnel of Yingkou cooperate, but Chen Hao was not worried at all. The base areas established by Xuanyuan Sword wasting twenty-four drawings are all in remote places, and it will be more troublesome if they are encircled and suppressed, but as long as they leave the base area, they will be annihilated by Chen Hao's cavalry before they can join forces with other troops.

What the "bandits" in Yingkou can do is to destroy everywhere, such as burning, killing and looting, and if they do so, they will cause great damage to Yingkou's economy. It's a pity that Chen Hao is only preparing for short-term development in Yingkou, and has never thought of improving Yingkou's economic capacity, his goal in the future is to control the Liaohe River and gain benefits, and the destruction of these players will not have any impact on him.

If they do this in normal times, Chen Hao is considered derelict in his duties, and when dealing with the self-reliant Zengqi, the court will not pay attention to such a trivial matter, and they like to make trouble as much as they like. After Xuanyuan Sword was forced to bewitch Zeng Qi to stand on his own, his twenty-four command construction drawings had actually been wasted, and sending people to wreak havoc would only make him suffer more, after all, the player's reputation value in the game would decrease.

Xuanyuan Jian should also understand this, and it was the best way to send someone to make trouble at Yingkou and get Chen Hao's official position through the imperial court, but unfortunately after this plan failed, he had to let Zengqi stand on his own. He dared to bewitch Zengqi to stand on his own and oppose the imperial court, in addition to his own determination and courage, another reason was that he had not yet deeply understood the laws formulated by the system.

Zhuge Kuntian thinks that Xuanyuan Sword's overall view is still above Chen Hao, this is just his personal idea, in fact, Chen Hao considers the problem more comprehensively than Xuanyuan Sword. Zhuge Kuntian would have such an opinion because Xuanyuan Jian had a lot of resources in his hands, and he could decisively follow the set goal when doing things, and after achieving the goal, he would be like an unpredictable prophet.

Chen Hao does everything because his plan can't catch up with the changes, and he is adjusting his development route at any time, because he doesn't have a lot of resources to squander. While dealing with various variables, he can also grasp the clear context of the game, seize the opportunity to make the most beneficial choice for himself, if he exchanges the identity of Xuanyuan Sword with Xuanyuan Sword, he will definitely not be able to do it like him.

Chen Hao's ability in this area has little to do with future memory, after all, his current development is very different from what he remembers, and it is impossible to completely rely on memory to fight with people. He has always relied on details to grasp the overall situation, and in his memory he has such an ability but is not confident, but now he has become decisive, and has given full play to his overall situation and ability to be strategic.

After Yang Du also judged that Zeng Qi was ready to stand on his own, Chen Hao immediately wrote to Shoushan, Feng Xiang and Jin Chang, telling them that Zeng Qi might take risks and rebel. After writing the letter, Chen Hao arranged for his subordinates to be sent over quickly, and at the same time asked people to find Du Lisan, in order to ensure that he was foolproof when dealing with Shengjing's attack, he needed to recruit more NPCs to work for him.

Chen Hao only established a C-level headquarters in Yingkou, and in the name of the base area, he could only form an NPC army of 3,000 people. In order to deal with the arrangement of Xuanyuan Sword in Yingkou, Du Lisan's recruited horse bandits would be recruited in the name of the base area, regardless of whether they were good or bad, and he would find a way to eliminate some of them in the future. Now that something has changed, the focus of the defense is no longer on the players who are pulling the flag and rebelling, but on the army of General Shengjing Zengqi, and recruiting 3,000 people is far from enough.

This battle is a matter of life and death, Chen Hao will be desperate to recruit NPCs, and he can not train the supernumerary part into a private army, but recruit in the name of the Yingkou Zhili Hall. The establishment of Yingkou is only eight battalions, and he also has to pay the military salary for the excess part, which is equivalent to his private money to raise soldiers for the imperial court, but now he can't afford to waste money.

Du Lisan came to the official office of the Zhili Hall, and Chen Hao said straight to the point: "Lisan, the situation has changed recently, I need to recruit more people to work for me, is there a way for you to recruit as many as possible?" ”

Du Lisan said confusedly: "My lord, your territory can only raise an army of 3,000 people, I have contacted a lot of people these days, and after they came to vote, the 3,000 people are already full, and there is no way to settle them when they are recruited!" ”

Chen Hao shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you recruit people, I will have a way to properly settle them, and I will integrate these into the army of the Zhili Hall, so the more people you recruit, the better." ”

Du Lisan grinned and said: "This is no problem, there are many bandits and militias in this area, and the most important thing is people." When I went to recruit these days, some powerful leaders were very interested in joining the Yingkou army, but they were unwilling to serve the adults, and I didn't accept them, so if the adults were willing to integrate them into the Yingkou patrol battalion, it would be no problem. ”

Chen Hao nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's hard for you, you try to recruit as much as possible, I will let you bring more soldiers in the future, you have to be prepared, spend more time learning how to lead soldiers." ”

Du Li said with great joy: "My subordinates must do their best to do things for adults, and I will ask Lord Wu more for advice in the future, and I will not disappoint my adults." ”

"Player Chen Baxian, because of your appeasement, the loyalty of the NPC Du Lisan you hired has increased by five points. If you are lying and deceiving, Du Lisan's loyalty will continue to decline over time; If you fulfill your promise in the short term, Du Lisan's loyalty will increase by 10 points. ”
