298 The Rise of the Prince

The miraculous fire meteor hit the Qiang camp and was attacked by Dong Zhuo in the chaos. The Qiang army was defeated and could no longer invade Chang'an. As for Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others' dream of overthrowing the court with the help of the Qiang people, they no longer had to think about it.

However, the court was not happy. The battle with the Qiang people was protracted and consumed a lot of money, grain, and soldiers. In the north, the borders of Bingzhou and Youzhou, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuwan and other Yi tribes appeared one after another. Small-scale military riots were spreading. In order to shock the barbarians, the court had to draw heavy troops from the Liangzhou front to guard the northern border to prevent turmoil. Naturally, it was necessary to truce with the Qiang people in Jincheng. Zhang Wen led his army back to Luoyang, and all the meritorious generals were rewarded. However, many officials heard that Sun Jian accused Chen Dongzhuo of three crimes and persuaded Zhang Wen to kill him, but failed, and sighed. (This plot is different from the official history)

After this battle, Liangzhou formed a situation of separatist rule by princes.

Dong Zhuo gathered the defeated Qiang soldiers, led 30,000 troops, stationed in Tianshui, took control of Longxi County and Wudu County, and intimidated the rebels of Xiliang.

Generals under his subordinates: Li Ru (son-in-law of Dong Zhuo), Niu Pu (son-in-law of Dong Zhuo), Dong Min (brother Dong Zhuo), Xu Huang (nephew of Dong Zhuo), Li Jue, Zhang Ji, Guo Si, Jia Xu, Hua Xiong, Fan Chou, Xu Rong, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Zhao Cen, Hu Zhen, Cui Yong (general of Guo Si), Yang Feng (general of Li Kuai), Xu Huang (general of Yang Feng), and Zhang Xiu (nephew of Zhang Ji).

Ma Teng led more than 20,000 troops and occupied Anding City. His subordinates: Pang De, Ma Chao (Shao), and Ma Dai (Shao).

Han Sui led more than 10,000 troops and occupied Jincheng. His subordinates: Yan Xing (Son-in-law of Han Sui), Li Xiangru (formerly the prefect of Longxi), Tuo Yan, and Jiang Shi.

Bian Zhang led nearly 10,000 troops, Jincheng County.

Beigong Boyu led more than 10,000 tribes and stationed in Xiping County. General: Qiang tribe's hero and commander.

Li Wenhou led more than 10,000 tribes and stationed in Xiping County. General: Qiang tribe's hero and commander.

Song Yang led thousands of troops to Baohan.

Zhan Xiaobai occupied Wuwei City, controlled Wuwei County, and led 17,000 troops. His subordinates: Jiang Xu, Jiang Jiong.

There were also eight rebels including Ma Wan, Zhang Heng, Houxuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Yang Qiu, etc., scattered in various counties in Liangzhou, dominating one area. There were also Di king Agui of Xingguo, Di king Yang Qianwan, and other independent forces of the Qiang Di tribes.

Most of them belong to the NPC warlord forces, only Zhan Xiaobai's family is a player force, which is the only one. In Liangzhou, there are only Dong Zhuo, and Zhan Xiaobai's family still belong to the imperial camp, while the rest belong to the rebel camp.

The entire Liangzhou still belonged to the Eastern Han Dynasty on the surface, but in essence it had broken away from the rule of the court and became a territory for warlords to fight against each other. The court was powerless at this moment and could not command the powerful people in Liangzhou.

......

NPC warlords in various prefectures and counties in the world, and player power dynamics.

There is no need to say much about Liangzhou.

Except for Liangzhou's worst situation, the other prefectures and counties are still "stable", at least they have no choice but to escape from the control of the court. Bingzhou, the Xiongnu and Xianbei soldiers invaded. Youzhou was deeply troubled by Wuwan's invasion. Jizhou, the Yellow Turban Army, whose embers had not yet been destroyed, stirred up chaos in the Taihang Mountains, killing officials and invading the city. Qingzhou, Taishan bandits were in chaos. Jingzhou, Dongting Lake water thieves were rampant. Yangzhou, Poyang Lake water thieves were rampant. Yizhou, Southern Barbarians were turbulent. Jiaozhou, mountains and crossed. Hanzhong, the Five Dou Rice Road rose.

This chaotic situation undoubtedly gives players a lot of room for operation.

Sili Department (Luoyang).

With the Silent Sword, the two major player leaders led by the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties, they vigorously operated and developed their own territory in Yingchuan and Hongnong. Their villages had long been upgraded to Zhongzhen, and each established a huge village alliance, catching up with the Little White Alliance in Liangzhou.

However, their territory is in the Luoyang area, and there have always been elite troops of the five imperial schools stationed in the Luoyang area. There is no player force that dares to attack the imperial city within the scope of the Sili Department, for fear of being encircled and suppressed.

This made the two leaders extremely depressed. Seeing Xiaobai from Liangzhou seized Wuwei City, they could only sigh at the city and dare not act rashly - the elite soldiers of the five schools in Luoyang City are not vegetarians.

Who asked them to build a village in the Sili Department? If they were in the border area, they might have been studying Zhan Xiaobai to attack the city and take over the villages and become kings. However, there is also a great advantage in Sili, that is, the Sili area has not used NPC warlords for the time being, and the situation is very stable, which creates a good environment for business and development for the player villages.

It is expected that before Dong Zhuo enters Beijing, the villages near Luoyang will enjoy some comfort.

Whether it is the silent alliance led by the Silent Jian or the Han and Tang alliance led by the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties, the scale of the trade has exceeded three or four hundred villages, and the scale of the trade formed is very large. The Liangzhou Little White Alliance has now exceeded more than 1,200 villages, but the total trade volume between the villages is only similar to the two major village alliances. This shows the poverty of Liangzhou and the wealth of Sili.

Sili is the center of the world, and also the center of logistics, wealth and power. The Silent Alliance and the Han-Tang Alliance have a faint tendency to become the dual core of the Sili Department. However, Hongnong and Yingchuan are a bit far apart, and these two major player village alliances have not yet started a formal confrontation and maintain a peaceful state. When the two sides grow so strong that they can't tolerate each other, it will be time to part with one's life and death.

Jingzhou.

If the most stable place in the world is probably Jingzhou. There are a lot of food and wealth, there are many NPC famous scholars, masters, hermits, and specialties. Another point is that there are many players. Many players like Jingzhou. In addition to traveling around, if they are lucky enough to meet an NPC famous scholar, they will become prosperous.

In fact, Jingzhou is indeed the state with the highest chance of meeting famous scholars and masters in the world.

A player once counted the posts on the official forum about "triggering the npc master mission" and found that 23% of them encountered them in Jingzhou, more than one-fifth of the total, almost more than double the number than other states.

Jingzhou is good in everything, but there are only a few player figures like Zhan Xiaobai, the silent sword, and the leading player in the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties. There are dozens of player towns in Jingzhou, completely in a state of separatism. The strongest player town among the players, Jijie Town, is near Jiangling, and has more than 100 player villages. This once the fifth village in the world can only be ranked among the top 100 villages in the strength list.

In Jingzhou, there are at least 17 or 18 of them who have a comprehensive strength that is not much different from Jijie Town. The strength of Jingzhou’s players’ villages and towns is relatively average, but the total strength of all villages and towns in Jingzhou is estimated to be among the top three in the world, and it is one of the richest prefectures and counties in the world.

Yizhou.

Yizhou is also a prefecture with many players and geniuses. Xiaoye, one of the few female heroes, led Xiaoye Town to become the strongest village in the entire Chengdu area and is famous all over the world. The Little Night Alliance he created has only more than 200 villages in the league, but it is a big village, and no one can stand out.

However, her power is also limited to near Chengdu. After Chengdu, it is a powerful area with many players. Mianyang, Deyang, Bajun, Jiangyang and other places, many overlord players.

The southern barbarians of Yizhou often invade system cities.

Logically speaking, this is a good opportunity for players to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the city. However, few players dare to do this. Because Yizhou players are very scared of Yizhou Mu. Yizhou Mu, Liu Yan, n powerful Han clan relatives, have outstanding talents and many soldiers and generals.

Yizhou is not a three-no matter area like Liangzhou. The Southern Barbarians are not as fierce as the Qiang people, and they can run to Chang'an to shake Luoyang. Even if the players in Yizhou want to learn to learn from Liangzhou Xiaobai, they have to weigh the consequences. As long as Liu Yan guards Yizhou for one day, no player can move Chengdu City, the system cities of other counties will be difficult to fall into the hands of players.

Jiaozhou.

Players born in Jiaozhou should be said to be very unlucky. Jiaozhou is the least important state in the world. Jiaozhou has many mountains and jungles, harsh environment, barren land, and difficult roads. It is almost impossible to start a family in Jiaozhou to dominate the world. The villages in Jiaozhou are also the weakest state in the world, and few people upgrade to towns. Players who started in Jiaozhou may have the opportunity to play sea battles and conquer the Southeast Yangyi tribes.

However, it is precisely because Jiaozhou is not valued by the imperial court that the imperial court does not have many troops stationed, but instead gives players a lot of opportunities.

Jiaozhou is barbaric and often attacks large and small cities in Jiaozhou. After the battle, although it is useless to break through, the city's troops will inevitably be empty. Player leaders seek opportunities to organize large-scale siege battles.

Since Zhan Xiaobai captured Wuwei City, tens of thousands of players in Jiaozhou have launched several siege battles, shouting slogans, "Learn from Boss Xiaobai!" "Boss Xiaobai, I can! Kill!" He entered the city. Nanhai, Cangwu, Jiaozhi and other counties, leaving behind records of countless players' follow-ups of thousands of pounces and sacrificed their lives. Unfortunately, no siege battle has been successful yet, and they were all rudely suppressed by the NPC prefects of each county. It seems that the difficulty of capturing the system city is really not unusual.
