Chapter 671
As the game progresses to year and month, relevant characters and forces are automatically adjusted according to the historical process. Although it is "automatically adjusted according to the historical process", the impact of a large number of players on history in the game has become increasingly obvious. Even if it is automatically adjusted, it is impossible to ignore the actual situation in the game.
In this wave of adjustment, the most important and intriguing change was Cao Cao's rise, and Cao Mengde successfully completed the transformation from the prefect of Dongjun to the governor of Yanzhou. This time, Cao Cao's rise was clearly different from the historical records.
In history, the reason why Cao Cao was able to become the lord of Yanzhou was because the millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army attacked Yanzhou and defeated Yanzhou counties and counties. Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai, regardless of the dissuasion of Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, led his troops to fight fiercely with the Yellow Turban Army. As a result, he was defeated and killed. Faced with the fierce offensive of millions of Yellow Turban Army and the lobbying of Cao Cao's general Chen Gong, Bao Xin and others welcomed Cao Cao as the governor of Yanzhou to fight against the Yellow Turban Army. When Bao Xin died in battle, Cao Cao "set up a strange ambush and fought day and night" and finally defeated the Yellow Turban Army, and received more than 300,000 surrendered soldiers and a population of more than one million. Cao Cao took his elite troops to form an army, which was the "Qingzhou Army" who later made great contributions with Cao Cao's battles in the south and north!
In the game, as Feilong Baby rushed into Jizhou and Youzhou, and eventually occupied Liaodong, the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou has been in short supply for a long time, so it is naturally impossible to make the big move of millions of Yellow Turbans fighting Yanzhou. Before this, many players, including A Niu, were still worried about Cao Mengde, "Without the opportunities brought by the Yellow Turban Army to attack Yanzhou, how can the heroes of the Three Kingdoms become the lord of a state and take the first step to dominate the world?"
Some players even sighed on their official website: "Players are constantly rewriting history. Perhaps Cao Cao is the biggest victim. I really can't see how Cao Cao can stand out in Yanzhou. The great military strategist may be deposed like this... Where will the Three Kingdoms without Cao Cao go in the end?"
More players disagree with this, "The Three Kingdoms without Cao Cao are still considered the Three Kingdoms? Although the participation of players has had a certain impact on historical development, it can be inferred that the general trend of the Three Kingdoms is difficult to change, and the rise of land such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan will be unstoppable! After all, this is a game rather than a time travel. The system will definitely create more opportunities for these heroes."
Just after the system announcement of Dong Zhuo's murder was released, news about Cao Cao came.
In the game, the Yellow Turban Army was unable to create opportunities for Cao Cao, but it did not mean that Cao Cao really had no chance. Yanzhou was invaded by a strong enemy. Yuan Shu in the south of Yanzhou launched a war. The entire war process and result were surprisingly similar to the situation in history. Before Dong Zhuo's death, Yuan Shu was the most glorious among the princes of Guandong, and Yuan Shu, who occupied Nanyang, was even more bold and arrogant. In order to expand the territory, Yuan Shu randomly found an excuse to launch an attack on Yanzhou. The poor Yanzhou governor Liu Dai was killed by Yuan Shu's troops.
It is difficult to explain clearly that Yuan Shu suddenly sent troops to Yanzhou and launched a war that did not exist in history. Is it the real manifestation of the player's influence on the game or the system's secret assistance to certain important forces.
However, one thing is certain. This war has helped Cao Cao!
The Nanyang Army, who played the villain, was defeated by Cao Cao without any suspense, and Cao Cao was successfully promoted to the governor of Yanzhou. He had a decent base.
This news made the supporters of Cao Cao in the player group cheer, including Fengxiang City Lord Aniu.
A Niu started cooperation with Cao Cao a long time ago. Before Cao Cao had already made his fortune, he sold high-quality war horses and excellent weapons in the mainland, including the Great Yellow Crossbow to Cao Cao at a relatively low price. Cao Cao's sense of identity with Feng Xiang is naturally very high. Cao Cao's strength has increased. It is obviously a good thing for Feng Xiang. That means that Feng Xiang can sell more weapons and war horses to Cao Cao and gain greater benefits from Cao Cao!
The only thing that made Cao Cao fans a little dissatisfied was that because it was Yuan Shu, not the Yellow Turban Army, Cao Cao failed to obtain a large number of surrendered soldiers and population from this battle. The "Qingzhou Army" with outstanding achievements in history naturally could not be formed. Cao Cao's strength at hand was greatly reduced!
After the news of Dong Zhuo's death in the territory was announced, most of the princes in Kanto were cautious in their attitudes. Most of the princes were cautious in their words and actions, and refused to express their attitudes easily.
This reaction is not surprising.
During these days, Dong Zhuo was in trouble with the country and the people, the princes of Guandong could rush their troops westward under the banner of siege. They legitimately refused to accept various orders from the Eastern Han court in the control of Dong Zhuo and developed their own power without hesitation. Before Dong Zhuo's death, the princes of Guandong had already tasted the benefits of "anarchy".
Pandora's box has been opened, and it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to close it.
Therefore, when Wang Yun sent envoys from all walks of life in Shandong to appease the envoys, many of the princes were mixed in their hearts. Among the princes of Guandong, no one dared to publicly deny the leadership of the Han Dynasty at this time. After all, they were ministers of the Han Dynasty. When Dong Zhuo was alive, they could still use the excuse of "traitors holding the emperor hostage" and refused to accept the imperial orders; now Dong Zhuo is in time, the regime has returned to the emperor's hands. It is impossible to attack each other unscrupulously as before!
Those ambitious Kanto princes must at least show sufficient respect to the central court, unless the court intends to deprive or weaken their interests. Fortunately, Wang Yun is not stupid, and he also understands the consequences that will bring. The wisest way now is to first appease various warlords and wait for the strength of the central government to recover, and then slowly take action.
In a short period of time, the court will not try to change the power territory of Kanto!
The most depressing among the princes was Yuan Shao, who had the greatest influence on him when the emperor regained power.
First, the emperor's power was highly valued, and Yuan Shao's identity as the leader of Kanto was naturally a passing eye. His right to speak for Kanto affairs was seriously weakened, and the appointment of Kanto officials was no longer controlled by Yuan Shao!
Secondly, after the battle against Dong Zhuo ended, Yuan Shao tried to support another Han clan in Guandong to become a new emperor to fight against Emperor Xian, hostage by Dong Zhuo. Although he had to give up because of the stern refusal of Youzhou's governor Liu Yu, it was an indisputable fact that Yuan Shao planned to establish a new emperor. Now the times have changed, and it is strange that Yuan Shao is not worried about being liquidated! Even if the emperor has a broad mind and will not be investigated for the time being, it is inevitable to "look at Yuan Shao differently" and Yuan Shao's future is in danger.
In addition, Yuan Shao's Jizhou faces a severe external situation: Cao Cao has both talent and courage, and has never been able to become a climate. The big reason is that he lacks a base. Now Cao Cao has become the lord of Yanzhou. In time, he will become the enemy southeast of Yuan Shao. Zang Hong, the governor of Qingzhou, is also a rare hero. After taking office in Qingzhou, he worked hard to govern. After annihilated Gongsun Du's Liaodong Army, he was even more powerful. Now that Dong Zhuo is executed, Yuan Shao can no longer put pressure on Zang Hong with his identity as the leader, and he can only watch Zang Hong grow stronger. If Cao Cao and Zang Hong may become Yuan Shao's future rivals, they will not pose too much threat to Yuan Shao in the short term, then Gongsun Zan of Jizhou will make Yuan Shao unable to sleep and eat!
When Yuan Shao seized Han Fu's Jizhou, he lured Gongsun Zan to send troops south and made some promises to the prefect of Beiping. After Han Fu gave up his throne, Gongsun Zan sent his cousin Gongsun Yue to Jizhou to divide the land in Jizhou. Yuan Shao pretended to agree, but secretly sent someone to pretend to be Dong Zhuo's family general and shot Gongsun Yue to kill him. Gongsun Zan was furious and prepared to raise an army to attack Yuan Shao (the above is the content of the Romance. The historical fact is that Gongsun Zan sent Gongsun Yue and Yuan Shu to join forces. When Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao competed for Yuzhou, Gongsun Yue died in a trap, causing Gongsun Zan to send troops).
No matter who gets into an enemy like Gongsun Zan, it is not a fun thing.
Although Gongsun Zan's jurisdiction only has one county and its population and materials cannot be compared with Yuan Shao, who controls the entire Jizhou, the super combat power developed by the Beiping Army in previous battles with northern ethnic minorities, and the white horse Yicong under Gongsun Zan is a legendary force that is powerful in the northern borders, and no one can ignore it.
Gongsun Zan has long been recognized as the strongest prince of Youzhou.
The war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan seems to be inevitable!
Qingzhou, Fengxiang City.
Dahei landed in the inner city, and a certain city lord did not care about the envious eyes of some adventurers. When many players had no horses, Aniu rode a mount in the air when he went on a trip, which was inevitable. Aniu was in the mood to pay attention to these things now. Even when he saw Liu Xing and Zhao Xue who had just returned to the territory, he simply greeted him and then hurried away.
A Niu just returned from Qingzhou Prefecture. After a little bit of advice, he got his wish and received a letter from Zang Hong to plead for Cai Yong. This was good news. However, on the way back to Fengxiang from Linzi, A Niu received another round of incoming messages from Jinjie and Iron Horse.
Lu Zhi was on the way to Chang'an. After he left Luoyang, Chen Shuo quickly sent several messengers to ask nearby princes for help with Lu Zhi's letter. In order to facilitate the latest information about Chang'an to be transmitted back to Luoyang and Fengxiang in the shortest time, Jinge and Tiema specially designated several gang members in Chang'an City from Hulong Villa to act as a sound tube.
The message this time can be summarized simply as: Lu Zhi has not arrived in Chang'an yet, and Cai Yong's situation is already quite bad!
When you hear such news, you can imagine how heavy a city lord is in a certain mood.
After returning to the city lord's office, A Niu immediately ordered someone to come to discuss matters with Pang Tong.
Fengxiang's rescue efforts have not yet been fully launched. A Niu is quite worried that the final result will be unsatisfactory. Wang Yun's will is not so easy to change, "Cai Yong will not be doomed, right?"
This thought made a city lord frightened, closed his eyes and lowered his head to ponder.
After a while, a knock on the door came from outside the office.
"When did you become so polite? Come in quickly, Cai Zhonglang's situation is very bad!"
As soon as A Niu finished speaking, he heard the woman's sob in his ears and a bad premonition appeared in his heart.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Cai Yan.
