Chapter 238 Sour Dates Association
It can be foreseen that although the gap between players' strength and npc in combat power is gradually narrowing, the system will try every means to compensate npc in other places, and try to ensure the fair position of players and npc in the game world, and the game is getting closer to reality.
Then I received a system prompt: "Please select the camp you have in this plot: Dong Zhuo camp, Kanto Alliance camp or neutral."
Although the system has said before that players can choose any camp freely, and in order to maintain the balance between the two camps, the system also gives Dong Zhuo camp some preferential treatment to encourage players to join Dong Zhuo camp, which had failed in history, this is only for ordinary players. As the game is getting closer and closer to reality, for players like Wenmin who have become a vassal force, his current choice is directly related to the future development prospects of his power. If he stands in the wrong team, the winning side will definitely be very dissatisfied with him.
The most important thing is that if he joins Dong Zhuo's camp, Dong Zhuo will definitely be the boss of this camp. After joining his camp, he will definitely have the final say. It is difficult to have any say elsewhere. The Kanto Alliance is different because they are alliances. Although history has proved that this alliance is not very solid, it is precisely because of this that there is no absolute leader in this alliance. Wenmin's current official position is prefect, and he can speak in this alliance, and he can gain enough benefits for himself. Therefore, Wenmin's final choice is to join the Kanto Alliance camp.
At this time, when other players choose a camp, an option appears. Each of them must choose to join a certain vassal force at the same time after joining the camp. There are two vassals who can choose from the players who choose Dong Zhuo's camp: Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu; there are many people in the Kanto Alliance. In addition to the new players of the Eighteen Princes and Wen Min in history, there are also some NPC forces that are not very strong and can only barely achieve the qualifications of vassals. However, there is also a character that cannot be ignored - Liu Bei.
Although he is actually just a small soldier under Gongsun Zan, he is one of the three who won the last one among the heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the great influence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. So even if he is only Guan Yu now, there will still be many players who choose to join his power.
Moreover, players can also see the maximum strength bonus that these vassal forces can have, which can be seen from here. According to now, the bonus of choosing Dong Zhuo is the largest, and the next ones are the princes who have very prominent official positions such as Lu Bu and Yuan Shu. It seems that the strength bonus of the princes is indeed closely related to the size of the force. The bonus that Wenmin now has can only be considered ordinary among these vassal forces.
However, although Dong Zhuo's maximum bonus is several times more than him now. However, this does not mean that players will be stronger than them after joining Dong Zhuo's camp. You must know that the attribute points of these bonuses still need to be redeemed a little bit, so at least in a short period of time, joining different forces will not have much impact on the player's strength.
After choosing the camp he joined, Wenmin received a system prompt: "All players in the Kanto Alliance camp please note: please lead the army to the Sourzao to join the alliance before noon tomorrow. If you do not arrive at the specified time and report to the princely forces where they are, you will be deemed to have automatically given up the plot!"
At this point, the system's introduction to the plot finally ended. Wenmin immediately notified everyone to return to the territory to gather and decide the candidate for their expedition this time.
Since Yunze Town has not yet opened a teleportation array, it is not convenient to connect. So this time they gathered in Hanshou County, Wuling County. First of all, Wenmin asked about the current situation of Hu Zhao's territory construction, who is responsible for the construction of the territory.
Hu Zhao replied: "Report to the lord: Our Yunze Town has been upgraded to a level 3 town some time ago, but now if we want to upgrade to a city, we must have at least eleven third-level towns before we can choose one of them to upgrade to a level 1 city, and the other ten third-level towns are affiliated to the city. Moreover, our territory is no longer limited to Yunmengze. We have also built a territory near some resource points in Wuling County. Now we have 24 level 3 towns, 312 level 2 towns, 623 level 1 towns, 507 level 3 villages, 105 level 2 villages, and 7 level 1 villages. The total population is close to 200 million, of which soldiers account for about one-tenth of them. I am not very clear about the specific number. The lord should ask Yuan Zhi, he knows a little more about this."
Without waiting for Wenmin to ask, Xu Shu stood up and said, "After my statistics, the total number of troops we now have, including the county soldiers of Wuling County, has reached 13 million, of which 4 million naval troops. Except for one million as Yunmengze's defensive troops, the other 3 million are mobile forces that can be mobilized at any time; among the nine million ground troops, one million must be left in Yunmengze's defense, two million must be left in each county town of Wuling County, and three million must be left in the foreign war map, so our real mobile forces are only 3 million. However, when we were in Luoyang this time, we also recruited many people with relatively high qualifications suitable for joining the army. After a period of training, although we cannot be directly sent to the battlefield for the time being, it should be no problem to use them to defend and maintain public order. In this way, we only have up to 4 million mobile forces on land."
After listening to the report from Hu Zhao and Xu Shu, Wenmin felt that although their territory has developed very quickly over the past period of time, the stalls are also too large, and the troops that can be used at once are limited, especially the national war map. Since European bases, King Fortress and Japanese bases all require his defense. This place alone has dragged his three million front-line combat troops!
Moreover, this time, the Chinese region took the lead in starting the national plot. Most Chinese players will focus on the plot tasks, and there will be relatively fewer people entering the national war map. I believe that the so-called Allied forces will definitely not miss such an opportunity. At that time, they will definitely do something when the Chinese people in the national war map are reduced. So in case, in this plot task, Wenmin not only cannot draw the defensive power in this map, but also must continue to send additional troops to this map.
Finally, after everyone's discussion, it was decided that Zhou Yu would continue to stay in the National War map to preside over the overall situation. Xi Zhicai and Huang Xu were responsible for guarding Wuling County, Xu Shu and Ganning were responsible for guarding Yunmengze, Wenmin brought Huang Zhongdian, Wei Zhang Fei, Zhou Cang and two million mobile troops to participate in the plot. The remaining one million mobile troops were all gathered near Hanshou County, and they would be ready to support anytime if there was any change.
After ordering the troops, Wenmin led the troops to the expedition to the slaughter. Although the transportation of troops in the game was not as troublesome as in history because of the existence of the teleportation array, it took a while for the departing of one million troops. It was not until the next morning that Yunze's army set up a camp in the slaughter. Shortly after Yunze's army arrived, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and other princes also arrived at the slaughter one after another.
At noon the next day, with the arrival of the last prince Yuan Shu, all the princes involved in the anti-Dong Zhuo alliance except Ma Teng who was in the middle and was unable to reach the end of Dong Zhuo, all the princes in Kanto had gathered together. At this time, Cao Cao, the initiator of the alliance, stood up and said: "The reason why we can gather here today is to eradicate the traitor Dong Zhuo who is now in Luoyang City. Since he entered Luoyang, he has not only taken over the power to control the government, but also abolition the emperor and regarded the ancestors of the Han Dynasty's laws.
The rules are as if nothing is left, and he also conspired to kill the abdicated Shao Emperor and Empress Dowager He. He also has many disrespects to the emperor now. Not only do he stay in the dragon bed overnight, but he also raped the palace maids and disrupted the harem. His sins are simply too numerous to be written. We gather here today to kill the traitors and support the Han Dynasty. But as the saying goes, a group of dragons must be leaderless. If so many of us princes do not have a unified command, they will definitely be easily defeated by Dong Zhe. Therefore, we must now choose a leader with prestige to convince the public and give orders!”
As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, a person stood up and said, "Yes, this is reasonable. I recommend the latter general, Nanyang prefect Yuan Gonglu, as our leader! In terms of identity, the Yuan family has been in charge of the three masters, and has been well-known for a hundred years. General Gaolu is the eldest son of the Yuan family, and his prestige is enough to convince the public. In terms of status, General Yuan has become the second general, and his military position is also the highest among them. In terms of talent, General Yuan has served in the office for many years and has achieved great achievements. He is definitely the best candidate to serve as the leader of the alliance!"
Except for Wen Min, who was a player, all the others were NPCs. Although Yuan Shu could be said to be infamous in history, his popularity was still relatively strong at this time. Even Yuan Shao was much inferior to him, and he had not worn the hat of a usurper. So when someone made this suggestion, not many people immediately opposed it, and most of them had already expressed silence.
