My players are all acting

Although the players were a little confused, under the appeasement of Chu Ge and other elite players, they quickly dispersed to investigate the surrounding situation and try to clarify the next task goal as much as possible.

After all, this is a game!

The official scene of "Dark Sand" has been completed, so there must be a specific gameplay. Players feel that it's just that everyone hasn't found it yet.

However, they didn't know that Meng Yuan was just as confused as they were.

Seeing no one around, Meng Yuan secretly communicated with Shangshang: "What's the situation? Where's the demon?"

The merchant's voice sounded in his mind: "It seems that the monster is preparing for war in the Mobei area."

Meng Yuan was speechless at the time: "Ah? Then why did we bring the players here so quickly?"

Participant: "I don't know, I thought you had a plan!"

Meng Yuan: "..."

The situation was a little embarrassing for a while.

In fact, according to the original situation, the players were going to enter the simulated trial, but the monster suddenly exerted force and dragged all these simulated trial illusions in. Meng Yuan followed suit, gathered all the players, and prepared to fight to the death with the monster.

But now it is discovered that the monsters do not intend to fight a decisive battle.

At this time, Meng Yuan can't lead the players to rush to the demon's lair in Mobei without hesitation, can he? Isn't that to send?

But this awkward time certainly doesn't keep players running around.

Um……

It's easy, let's arrange a cutscene to delay the time.

And the cutscenes have another advantage, that is, they can play the role of mobilizing speeches before the battle, so that the players will be high-spirited.

It's just that the players have already moved freely just now, and now it's hard to add cutscenes, it always feels like a bug, not very smooth.

However, this did not bother Meng Yuan. For him, dealing with various emergencies was as easy and natural as eating and drinking.

He immediately asked the merchant to sneakily place an item in the distance, waiting for the players to discover it.

...

"Hey? Look what I found!"

A player shouted excitedly, and the surrounding players rushed over.

The place where the players are now is the vast desert, but it seems that there is a long distance from the Beidi people in Mobei or the border checkpoints of the Chu Dynasty. It is a place with no villages or shops.

In addition to wind and sand, it is grass.

But this player held a broken ring-shou knife in his hand.

The ring head knife is the standard weapon of this era, and it can also be said to be the ancestor of the Liang knife.

Although the ring head knife is broken and rusty, the ring on the handle and the straight blade can still be clearly seen.

"This is?"

Everyone approached one after another.

Looking at the broken and rusty ring-shoulders, they naturally thought of a poem in their hearts.

"The broken halberd sinks into the sand and the iron is not sold, and it will be washed and washed to recognize the previous dynasty."

At this moment, the vision of all the players rotated rapidly, and they seemed to have become God's perspective in an instant, while the phoenix flew in the sky, the weeds on the ground were blown by the wind and swayed rapidly, and time was changing rapidly.

The player disappeared out of thin air, and the ring head knife also fell to the ground, and its time seemed to be constantly reversing, the rust gradually disappeared, and a faint figure appeared in the distance...

In the end, this ring-shou knife appeared in the hands of a heroic Chu soldier.

"kill!"

He yelled and swung the Ringshoudao, but the ringshoudao that had been cut into curls broke suddenly under the collision of the saber.

And this Chu soldier was also shot to death by Beidi's barbarians, and fell to the ground slumped, with a deep sense of unwillingness in his eyes.

The overwhelming Beidi barbarians left with the looted gold, silver, goods and slaves.

As the smoke and dust of the barbarians gradually disappeared into the distance of the field of vision, a line of words appeared in the field of vision of the players.

"In the sixth year of the Great Chu Guangyuan, Emperor Wu sent four armies to conquer Beidi, and three armies were defeated.

"The people of Beidi immediately retaliated by beheading the governor of Liaoxi, repelling the general of Yuyang, and taking 2,000 people captive and going north as slaves.

"Thousands of families were torn apart, and the Chu army couldn't catch up.

"In successive years of war, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Chu army died, and the money was wasted, and the taxes were exhausted, and there was still not enough to serve the soldiers.

"The people of Beidi come and go like the wind, they support war with war, and they are enough to drag down any powerful dynasty. At this time, they are the undoubted overlords of the whole world, and the only thing that restricts them is distance.

"Those small countries of Quer far away in the sky may survive, but the Chu Dynasty is right under the eyes of Beidi people, and they have no choice."

The camera turned again, this time in the royal garden, Emperor Wu was riding his horse and bowing his bow, shooting at a deer in front of him.

However, as soon as the string sounded, the little deer suddenly jumped up and missed.

Then, the little deer started running wildly, Emperor Wu led the crowd to chase, but the little deer was very nimble, and was about to disappear into the forest.

But at this moment, a fast horse rushed out, and the boy on the horse drew a bow and set an arrow.

With a sound of "whoosh", the figure of the little deer in the distance trembled suddenly, then limped forward a few steps, and finally fell down.

Emperor Wu laughed loudly: "Good arrow skills!"

The young man turned over and fell off his horse, and held up the deer that had been shot by the arrow, offering it to Emperor Wu.

"Okay, this prey will reward you!

"I did it today, let's go back!"

The crowd surrounded Emperor Wu and left the garden.

At this time, the figures of the players became transparent, and they watched the cutscene CG as before, but this time the players found that everyone could discuss it.

When the NPC speaks, the voices of the players will be lowered to ensure that the players can hear what the NPC is saying, but at other times, the players can be divided into groups in the channel for simple discussions.

"This is General Wei Huo, right?"

"So young!"

"At this time, General Wei Huo was only nineteen years old."

"At that time, during the four-way northern expedition, only General Wei Huo won. That's why Emperor Wu was very happy and continued to entrust him with important tasks."

Amidst the players' discussions, the cutscene CG continued.

Riding on his horse, Emperor Wu said to General Wei Huo beside him: "If you have enough money and food, can you go straight to Beidi Royal Court for me, and double the humiliation I have suffered in the past few decades?"

Although he had just returned from the hunting ground, his expression was neither relaxed nor happy.

Instead, there is a heavy worry.

The Northern Expedition of the four-way army had only one victory, and the Beidi people quickly proved with revenge actions that they were still the undisputed overlords on this continent.

As far as Emperor Wu was concerned, he knew that if he continued to consume like this, the Chu Dynasty would definitely lose.

Therefore, he pinned all his hopes on General Wei Huo, the only victor among the four routes.

General Wei Huo was in high spirits: "Of course! As long as there is enough money and food, I will definitely help His Majesty avenge his shame!"

Emperor Wu looked at him, smiled and said, "But you haven't learned the art of war, how do you plan to fight?"

General Wei Huo didn't care: "The way to use troops is to put one's heart into it.

"I can only say that one or the other of these veterans are all useless. Either they just stick to the words in the military book, insist on fighting with chariots and cavalry, but in the end they can't catch up with Beidi's cavalry, or they are fighting with Beidi's cavalry. People recklessly rode and shot, and then failed miserably.

"The desert is the home of Beidi people, and they are born on horseback. Even if our army has horses and cavalry, how can we gain an advantage if the opponent is also well prepared?"

Emperor Wu nodded slightly, and asked again: "Then what do you think?"

General Wei Huo continued: "It's very simple, what we have to learn is not only Beidi people's riding and shooting, but also their coming and going like the wind, which is hard to guard against!

"People from Beidi come and go like the wind, and they always appear in places we don't expect. Even if we send cavalry to fight, how can we have a chance of winning?

"So, we should find the tribe of the Beidi people, find their most vulnerable rear, and then attack what the enemy must save. The first battle will completely break their backs, so that they no longer have any war potential!"

Emperor Wu's eyes lit up: "But beyond the Great Wall, how can we find the Beidi people?"

General Wei Huo said: "It's very simple. Let's take Hexi first. The Hexi Corridor is located between two mountains, and there is only a narrow passage in the middle. There are also many Beidi people here.

"Shoot them first, capture enough prisoners, and then let Beidi people lead the way, can't we go deep into the desert?"

Emperor Wu asked again: "Then how can we ensure that we can defeat the Beidi people in Hexi? After entering the vast desert, what kind of tactics will we adopt?"

General Wei Huo shook his head: "Your Majesty, it's still the same sentence, the way to use troops is to be single-minded. Before I actually meet the enemy, I don't know what kind of tactics I will adopt.

"But I know that as long as Your Majesty guarantees money and food for soldiers, horses and food, I will surely avenge Your Majesty!"

Emperor Wu laughed loudly: "Okay! If that's the case, then you don't need to ask me how to ensure the supply of soldiers and food in the country, and I don't ask you what kind of military tactics you want to use.

"You and I, the monarch and the minister, will never trust each other!"

...

In the palace, a minister said that he hoped that Emperor Wu could make peace with the people of Beidi.

Emperor Wu smiled coldly and said: "You know that someone said the same thing to me a few months ago. Do you know what happened to him afterwards?

"I asked him, if he were to go to the border, would he be able to manage the border so that Beidi people would not invade? He said no.

"I asked him again, what if we govern a county? He still said he couldn't.

"I asked him again, so what if he manages a fortress? He has nothing to say, so he can only go to his post.

"Later, Beidi people attacked and chopped off his head!"

Emperor Wu's eyes flickered coldly: "Qing wants me to make friends with the people of Beidi, is it true that if I do so, the people of Beidi will not invade again?

"You civil servants, who can't even keep a county on the border, why do you have the confidence to advise me that as long as you make good friends with the Beidi people, you can keep the border safe? Who gave you the courage!

"If you also want to go to the front line with the Beidi people and manage a county, if you can manage it in an orderly manner so that the Beidi people will not invade again for a few years, then I will consider taking Qing's advice and making friends with the Beidi people !"

The civil servant couldn't help being speechless, and immediately resigned silently.

...

The camera turned again, and a large army marched forward.

The players, on the other hand, were divided into two groups.

Part of them possessed the body of this army, and followed General Wei Huo to march to Longxi.

The other part stayed in place and formed a battle formation, ready to meet the main force of the Beidi people.
