My players are all acting

At the same time, Chu Ge is also exploring the possibility of customs clearance of the new identity.

After some operations before, he was assigned to Wan Yanchang, a clan general of the Jin people.

He was the cousin of the emperor of the Jin Kingdom at that time, and he participated in the Battle of the Jin Kingdom and the Jingping Change. It can be said that he is a real powerful figure in the Jin Kingdom at this time, although his status is higher than that of Wanyan who created the Jingping Change. Sheng Yao is slightly lower, but it is not completely invincible.

Chu Ge still has a good understanding of the internal situation of the Kingdom of Jin at this time.

Although the Kingdom of Jin had already been established at this time, its political system was obviously completely different from that of the Qi Dynasty. It still retains many of the previous institutions, in short, more like a tribal military democracy.

Compared with the emperor of Qi Dynasty, the power of the emperor is far worse.

And more power is actually shared by many military nobles to jointly govern the entire Jin Kingdom.

For example, there are records that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom at that time stole money from the treasury to buy wine and drink. As a result, he was directly dragged off the throne by the military nobles headed by Wan Yansheng and beat him with twenty army sticks.

This sounded like a fantasy in the Qi Dynasty, but it was a very normal phenomenon in the political system of the Kingdom of Jin at that time.

This political system, of course, has advantages and disadvantages.

In the early days of the founding of the Jin Kingdom, each of these military aristocrats had extremely strong military talents, combat effectiveness, and pioneering spirit. Therefore, in the process of the founding of the Jin Kingdom and the attack on the Song Dynasty, they were almost victorious in every battle, and they often won more with less. record.

And under the leadership of these people, the group of veterans who had fought many battles when the Jin people first founded the country also had a strong fighting spirit, and they were proud of being the first to charge when they attacked the city.

However, with the continuous development of the Kingdom of Jin, this political system began to expose its drawbacks.

First of all, there are many factions in the Kingdom of Jin, and the struggles are serious, and because the Jin people retain many barbaric habits, this kind of struggle is often very tragic, and large-scale massacres often break out on both sides.

Secondly, as the first batch of military aristocrats and veterans of hundreds of battles died or aged, the subsequent military aristocratic groups actually became blood-sucking insects lying on the body of Jin Guo, and their combat power declined rapidly.

Then, following the unjust murder of General Han Fuyue, the Qi Dynasty reached peace with the Jin people in a traitorous manner.

But soon, with the rise of the Northern Barbarians, Wanyan Hailing, the gold lord at the time, felt threatened and began to promote reforms internally and actively launched a war to destroy Qi externally. The huge strategic depth prepares for the future confrontation with the Northern Barbarians.

But with the failure of the Battle of Niuzhuji and the death of Wanyan Hailing, his reforms were naturally completely overturned. The Kingdom of Jin continued to be corrupt like this, and it was not long before it was destroyed by the Northern Man.

...

After smoothing out these things, Chu Ge roughly understood his situation at this time.

Wan Yanchang was among the golden people at this time, and he was a figure with real power. In history, he was the main peace faction within the Jin people.

Wan Yanchang has a lot of energy and the right to speak at this time, but he has been suppressed by Wan Yansheng of the main combat faction.

Wan Yansheng hoped to continue to attack the Qi Dynasty and expand the territory of the Jin Kingdom, which also represented the opinions of the other main fighters in the Jin Kingdom.

After all, these military nobles only think about robbing money, people, and food.

But Wan Yanchang belongs to a group of people who are relatively different among Jin people.

He saw that the Qi Dynasty still had a huge potential for war, and also saw that the Jin Kingdom could hardly break through most of the Qi Dynasty's fortified cities with its own strength, and also saw that the Qi Dynasty's northern land swallowed by the Jin Kingdom could not be fully digested so far. Indirect rule can only be achieved by supporting puppet forces.

Wan Yanchang believes that in this case, it is an act of forcibly attacking the Qi Dynasty, which is more risky than rewarding.

Obviously, being assigned as a prisoner to Wan Yanchang as a staff member was the best way for officials of the Qi Dynasty at that time.

Because for the main combat faction, what use are these officials of the Qi Dynasty?

Although the Jin people had just established their country not long ago and were undergoing a large number of cultural transformations by the Qi Dynasty, all of these officials were educated people who had read poetry and books and passed the imperial examination, and they could play a great role in this process.

But in the eyes of the main battle faction, no matter how educated these officials of the Qi Dynasty were, they were nothing more than some kind of senior teachers.

To put it bluntly, a direct interest relationship is still needed!

The Jinren generals of the main combat faction only think about how to continue to attack the Qi Dynasty and continue to grab more things.

What help can officials of the Qi Dynasty give them? Command them to march or command them to fight?

Isn't that funny?

But if it is the main peace faction, then the officials of the Qi Dynasty can do more operations in it.

...

Soon, Chu Ge saw this Wan Yanchang, and had a long talk with him.

Wan Yanchang didn't look any different from the other Jurchens in appearance, but after an in-depth conversation, he told Li Hao, the censor Zhongcheng, a lot of his knowledge and political ideals.

He is also a powerful general among the Jin people, but he has fought many vicious battles during the years of fighting against the Kingdom of Jin.

Different from the initial offensive when Wan Yansheng led people to invade the Qi Dynasty, as the battle between the two sides continued to rage, the war potential of the Qi Dynasty had been activated.

In the short period of two or three years after the Jingping Change, a group of outstanding generals and combatable soldiers began to emerge in the Qi Dynasty. The Jinren's offensive could not be as destructive as before, but was frequently frustrated;

The northern land captured by the Jin people has not really digested it for a long time, and frequent uprisings broke out, and they can only achieve indirect rule by supporting the puppet regime;

Moreover, there are many factions within the Jin people, fighting against each other, and full of contradictions...

And these made Wan Yanchang a staunch peacemaker.

He grabbed the hand of Li Hao, the censor Zhongcheng, and said quite emotionally: "Our two countries can't continue fighting like this!

"The two countries have been fighting for two or three years, and in the future, they may continue to fight for more than ten years! The national power is wasted and the lives are devastated. When will such a day be the end?

"So, I hope that together with my husband, we can promote the peace talks between the two countries and save the people of the two countries from suffering!"

To ordinary people, it might be a very touching thing for a dignified nobleman of the Jin Kingdom to be so confiding and close to an official of the Qi Dynasty who is called a staff officer but is actually a prisoner.

Chu Ge also pretended to be very moved, and at the same time asked calmly: "So, what can I do?"

Wan Yanchang continued: "It's very simple, I hope you can return to the Qi Dynasty and complete the great cause of the peace talks between the two countries with me!"

Chu Ge remained calm: "Oh? Then when are you going to let me go back?"

Wan Yanchang smiled meaningfully: "Of course it will have to wait until the master really thinks it through."

After finishing speaking, Wan Yanchang turned and left.

It's just that although he talked about letting Chu Ge go back to the Qi Dynasty, he didn't see any action after that.

Everything seems to be back to the original point.

...

...

Another day passed.

On the forum, players began to have heated discussions about the plot of the second stage.

As for Chu Ge, it was the first time to check historical materials, trying to figure out the details of this period of history.

In fact, he had already had a vague guess before, but now after consulting the historical data, this guess is like a big rock that finally fell to the ground.

"Sure enough, Qin Huizhi is myself..."

Chu Ge had a little breakdown.

He seemed to understand why this identity was the least difficult.

Isn't the difficulty of betraying the country and seeking glory the lowest?

Although it is still far away from clearing the dungeon at this time, Chu Ge can roughly guess the general design intent of the dungeon through the arrangement of the dungeon.

In the first stage, although players can choose different identities, in general, these identities all have one thing in common, that is, their status is very low.

The soldier player is a small soldier in the Pingding Army; the assassin player is an ordinary green forest man in Cenqiaoyi; the ranger player is also a wandering green forest man who wants to save a small village; In the capital, a place where princes and ministers run all over the place, the real role of the third-rank faculties is still negligible.

Therefore, in the dungeon of "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moons", the goal of the players in the first stage is to use these very low identities to make changes in these worlds as much as possible.

And in the process, they will inevitably feel the powerlessness of a small person in the face of the surging trend.

For example, assassin players, no matter how skilled their assassination skills are, it is almost impossible to find a chance to assassinate Wan Yansheng in the army formation. At most, it would be to assassinate a few low-level officers of the golden men, and try to weaken the destructive power of this catastrophe as much as possible.

Of course, players can also cooperate with each other, or play tricks such as assassinating the emperor, but in general, the tone of the first stage is that the mantis is like a car.

Facing the rolling wheel of history, the little people tried every means to make it roll slower.

And in the second stage, the identities of the players have been improved as a whole, becoming the three most important identities in this dungeon.

The first type, of course, is General Han Fuyue, who is truly capable of training and fighting, leading people to fight against the Jin soldiers and regain lost ground. They should have been the ones who could really stop the wheels of war from rolling forward and save the people from the fire and water in this chaotic era.

Zhao Haiping is attacking this route.

The difficulty of this possibility ranks in the middle of the three difficulties. Because in the situation at that time, being able to fight and win a war was indeed difficult in itself, but if we only considered this matter, the difficulty was acceptable.

The second is the prince, which is the route that Fan Cun is trying.

The Prince's difficulty is the highest, because there is no General Han Fuyue in this clue, which also means that the player can't let it go, and if there is a war, he has to do it himself.

In addition to fighting in person, because he is not the crown prince, he also faces wrangling with various forces such as the prince, emperor, and civil officials.

That's why Sheng Taizu said to Fan Cun that the extermination of Xixia seems to be a big climax, but it is actually just the beginning.

No matter how strong the Xixia people were, they were beaten to death by Liu Fa in the northwest; but the princes of the Qi Dynasty wanted Liu Fa to die, but only one order from Tong Daofu was enough.

Therefore, the prince's route is more difficult.

The third is the scribe route that Chu Ge is taking.

In other words, it is the route of betraying the country and seeking peace...

Although there is no clear explanation in the game, Chu Ge has already discovered that Li Hao, the censor Zhongcheng, clearly wrote the script according to Qin Huizhi.

Qin Huizhi was also taken into captivity after the Jingping Incident and was assigned to Wan Yanchang as an aide.

After returning from Jin Kingdom, he has completely changed from a person with a little bottom line to a staunch advocate of peace, or more precisely, a surrenderist.

Because the real peace should be to actively prepare for war after striving for the interests of the country as much as possible to seek temporary peace, and then regain all that you have lost.

In the stage of war between the two countries, there is no peace, only a temporary truce.

However, Qin Huizhi's so-called peace faction sold out the interests of the country in order to seek peace, and even to seek his own self-interest. Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that he is a traitor or a capitulator.

And such a route, the difficulty is naturally the lowest.

Because as long as you abandon your moral bottom line, you can achieve your goals.

In short, after some analysis, Chu Ge confirmed that the so-called Yushi Zhongcheng Li Hao was a fictional character, but he acted completely according to Qin Huizhi's script.

This made him feel a little bit pained, he never thought that he would play such an ultimate dog thief who would leave his infamy through the ages.

They all feel unclean.

This person's reputation is too ugly, so not only is his name no longer called by anyone, even his surname has a tendency to be polluted. Even everything with him was reviled, and he would never be able to stand up again.

But Chu Ge did not give up this identity and chose to start over.

He felt that the official arrangement of this route should have some deep meaning.

If you follow the original route of traitorous surrender, then this dungeon can indeed be opened relatively easily.

Is it to let the players understand how Qin Huizhi stepped into the situation of betraying the country and seeking glory step by step in the process?

And if the player did not take this route, but took another route... Then, is it possible to use another more difficult way to clear the instance?

With this guess, Chu Ge continued to enter the game and began to prepare for a new day's challenge.

...

Seeing Wan Yanchang again, Chu Ge seemed to be a completely different person. He groveled and made a promise to Wan Yanchang that if he returned to the Qi Dynasty, he would definitely be able to achieve the position of prime minister by virtue of his own ability, and try his best to To seek more benefits for the Jin people.

I thought that such an unscrupulous behavior should be recognized by Wan Yanchang, but Wan Yanchang only gave a meaningful smile, exchanged a few pleasantries, and sent Chu Ge away again.

This attempt, still failed.

Back at his residence, Chu Ge made a little analysis and finally confirmed his guess.

"Sure enough, if you want to convince Wan Yanchang, you can't just rely on verbal betrayal.

"After Wan Yanchang said to me the words of 'jointly promote the peace', he did not let me go back to the Qi Dynasty for a long time. This is obviously because Wan Yanchang had great doubts about whether I could complete this task. .

"He wasn't sure if I would faithfully carry out his plan, so he was hesitant about letting me go.

"So, I have to find a way to convince him and let him confirm that I will carry out his plan without compromise.

"And this kind of persuasion also needs to pay attention to methods and methods."

Chu Ge tried it first, and truthfully expressed his idea that he would completely stand on the side of the Jin people and try to sell all the national interests of the Qi Dynasty to the Jin State, so as to reach a peace agreement. However, this was not approved by Wan Yanchang.

If you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense.

Because these words are not convincing at all, but more like an expedient measure to run back to the Qi Dynasty.

Although many beautiful pictures of treachery have been painted, for Wan Yanchang, the promise that cannot be sure whether it will be fulfilled is worthless.

Therefore, the key at this time is not actually what to do after escaping back, but to make Wan Yanchang completely believe that this Li Hao has no other way to go except for peace after returning.

After reconsidering, Chu Ge found Wan Yansheng again.

It's just that what he said this time is a completely different set of rhetoric.

...

"If I can return to the Qi Dynasty, I will definitely do my best to facilitate the peace talks between the two countries. Moreover, besides me, you can't find a second person who can do this at this time." Chu Ge didn't say any more As before, he put on a bowing posture, but looked at Wan Yanchang with a confident expression.

It seems to be saying, this is not what I want from you, but what you want from me.

Sure enough, Wan Yanchang was a little surprised by this attitude, and immediately asked: "How do you plan to promote the peace talks between the two countries?

"And why, apart from Mr., there is no second candidate?"

Chu Ge had already prepared a draft in his heart, and immediately replied: "After returning to the Qi Dynasty, I will try my best to become Zaizhi first.

"At this time, the emperor of the Qi Dynasty actually had the idea of ​​peace in his heart. He had no long-term plan to regain his homeland, but just wanted to settle down in a corner. After the Jingping Incident, the new emperor ascended the throne, but then he fled all the way south. Arriving in Yangzhou, it is enough to see that he is not a man of great talent or generality.

"After ascending the throne, he appointed Li Boxi for a short period of time. After building a court framework for him, he kicked him away, and reused the mediocre minister who had always followed him as the ruler. It can be seen that for him, the main peace is better than the main war. , flattering ministers are better than straight ministers.

"And to become Zaizhi, all I need to say to this new official is enough.

"'I can work with Wan Yanchang to reach a peace agreement between the two countries.' This sentence alone is enough to ensure that I will become the prime minister and be reused by him."

This is to explain the possibility of signing a peace agreement after returning to the Qi Dynasty.

Originally, the Li Hao played by Chu Ge was just a prisoner. Even if he escaped back, his unclear experience during the period in the Kingdom of Jin would make it difficult for him to be reused.

People like Yu Jiaxuan who were born in the north and joined the Qi Dynasty in an uprising cannot be reused, let alone the Li Hao played by Chu Ge at this time is an out-and-out captive?

Therefore, it is unlikely that he will be held accountable, but it would be a bit of a fantasy to say that he will become a minister.

And if you can't be the ruler, it is naturally impossible to advocate for peace talks between the two countries.

Chu Ge proved an effective method to become a Zaizhi, which naturally made it possible for Wanyanchang's plan to be implemented.

As expected, Wan Yanchang's eyes lit up, but immediately after, he asked a new question.

"However, how can I be sure that Mr. will fulfill his promise?"

Obviously, Wan Yanchang was still very afraid that this Li Hao would change his mind.

It's good to say now, that's because Li Hao is a prisoner and doesn't have any personal freedom. In order to regain his freedom, he must only pick and choose what Yan Chang likes to listen to.

But once it was put back, Li Hao would be safe.

It is impossible for Wan Yanchang to capture him again, how can he be sure that Li Hao will faithfully carry out his plan?

But to do this, you need a certain skill.

Chu Ge instantly possessed the film emperor and sighed softly.

"Do I have any other options?

"The Qi Dynasty has just crossed to the south at this time, and many of the official team members are old team members who have followed him since he was the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses.

"Those old ministers, even those as capable as Li Boxi, were quickly alienated by His Majesty after completing their missions.

"I didn't have the talent for governing the country like Li Boxi, but I had this terrible experience. If I want to be really reused by the emperor, besides being able to facilitate peace talks for him, is there any other value?"

As soon as these words came out, Wan Yanchang's expression brightened instantly.

The worry that had been lingering in his heart before was instantly resolved!

Of course Wan Yanchang wanted to put Li Hao back, but what about after he put him back? How to control Li Hao?

This point, Wan Yanchang has never thought about it, so naturally he has not been able to make up his mind.

But now, what Li Hao said proved to him one thing: Wan Yanchang didn't need to control Li Hao at all.

Because Li Hao has a very sufficient motivation to help him complete the peace negotiation between the two parties.

At this time, the emperor of the Qi Dynasty was Qi Gaozong, the ninth son of Qi Huizong. Fortunately, he escaped the Jingping Incident and was able to take a group of important officials from the original Qi Dynasty to the south to re-establish the court.

Compared with the important ministers in this small court, Li Hao can be said to have nothing to ask for.

He neither had the close relationship with Qi Gaozong's confidant at the beginning, nor was he as capable as Li Boxi, who could bring tangible benefits to Qi Gaozong.

Therefore, if Li Hao runs back, it is almost certain that he will not be reused.

And how can it be reused by Qi Gaozong?

It's very simple, he must be able to bring what Qi Gaozong wanted: a peace agreement.

As I said before, Qi Gaozong himself was an emperor who wanted to live in peace, and he was very resistant to war in his heart. And to negotiate a peace, the ministers around him are basically incapable, because it is difficult to get along with people from the Jin Kingdom.

Even if they do, it will be difficult for both sides to build trust.

But the relationship between Li Hao and Wan Yanchang gave him a natural advantage for peace talks.

Of course, this advantage is actually not great.

Because Wan Yanchang has not reached the point of monopolizing power at this time, the Kingdom of Jin is still dominated by the main combat faction at this time. Moreover, even if Li Hao had a good relationship with Wan Yanchang, it would be difficult for him to elevate his personal friendship to North Korea-China affairs. That is to say, if Li Hao wants to negotiate peace, he still has a lot of national interests to sell, and it may not be able to satisfy the appetite of the Jin people.

But in any case, having this relationship is enough to make Qi Gaozong feel that he can indeed negotiate peace, and that's enough.

Because Qi Gaozong is such an unreliable emperor, as long as he sees the possibility of peace talks, he is willing to give him the position of prime minister.

And in this process, Li Hao's power and position will be deeply bound to the matter of "negotiating peace".

The Jinren can also cooperate with him and seek various interests for Li Hao during the peace talks, while Li Hao is in the process of gaining power in the government, and then logically sells out more national interests...

As for Wan Yanchang, he really has no other better candidates.

The truly capable people are returned to the Qi Dynasty, and they can reach high positions based on their own abilities? Then it will definitely not sell the country and ask for peace.

However, it is difficult for people who were originally too low in official position and completely incompetent to be sent back to the Qi Dynasty to get into the eyes of the emperor.

Only someone like Li Hao, who has been a third-rank censor Zhongcheng himself, and who has nothing but "negotiating peace" and "traitoring the country", is the perfect candidate in his mind.

In this way, a perfect two-way rush is formed.

Thinking of this, Wan Yanchang finally made up his mind: "Okay, since that's the case, I'm going to let Mr. go back to the south.

"I hope to work with you to complete the great cause of peace talks between the two countries!"
