Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

In summer, the weather has begun to get a little hotter.

The warm sunshine shines on the earth, everything revives, and there is a vibrant scene everywhere.

There is a peach forest at the foot of Mount Tai. There is a small pool in the peach forest and a pavilion beside the pool.

At this time, the aroma of meat was constantly wafting from the pavilion, and two men were talking and drinking in the pavilion.

A tall man with a shiny bald head and a bright golden cassock.

The other man was relatively thinner and was wearing a cyan scholar's robe.

These two people were none other than Chu Tianba from the Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom and Sun Junbo from the Northern Expedition Alliance.

Since both of them were players, there were no taboos or particularities, so Chu Tianba invited Sun Junbo to his Taoyuan to discuss the current war while drinking.

Chu Tianba had sex every day, whether it was alcohol or meat, so what was originally a very serious meeting turned into a barbecue party for two.

Although Sun Junbo didn't like Chu Tianba's rough and bold style very much, he came here to ask for something from the other party, so he could only choose to do as the guest does and do as the Romans do.

After drinking three large bowls of wine with Chu Tianba, Sun Junbo looked at Chu Tianba who was full of oil and took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Chu, I have something unclear. I wonder if Brother Chu can help me clear up my confusion."

While Chu Tianba put the mutton on the sign into his mouth, he replied vaguely: "Brother Sun, we are the only two brothers here. If you have any questions, you can ask them freely."

Seeing that Chu Tianba agreed, Sun Junbo immediately asked: "Brother Chu, what benefits did Ning Yuan give you to make you follow him so wholeheartedly?

Several presidents of our Northern Expedition Alliance personally contacted you and wanted to cooperate with you, but you all rejected them.

Could it be that the bargaining chip offered by Ningyuan to you is more generous than that of our Northern Expedition Alliance? "

Sun Junbo has always been resentful about Chu Tianba's rejection of Ye Ziqing and others' recruitment and chose Ning Yuan. He did not think that Ning Yuan could offer Chu Tianba a more generous bargaining chip than their Northern Expedition Alliance.

In reality, Ning Yuan is just an ordinary person who has no worries about food and drink. The money he earns from the game is only enough for him to buy a villa in a first-tier city. His financial resources are simply not comparable to the wealthy Ye Ziqing. Compared with others.

In the game, Ning Yuan is a very controlling person and does not allow any player to interfere with the power circle of the Condor Empire.

Even Tang Yu, who was the first to follow Ning Yuan and made great military exploits for Ning Yuan, could not directly command the aboriginal troops of the Condor Empire. Sun Junbo did not believe that Ning Yuan would treat Chu Tianba better than Tang Yu.

Chu Tianba single-handedly founded the Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom in the cracks of the orc forces, which shocked the entire Huaxia region. His ambition was well known to everyone.

Therefore, Sun Junbo has never understood why Chu Tianba refused the recruitment of Zi Ziqing and others and directly chose to join the Condor Empire on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Picking up the wine glass, Chu Tianba directly drank the wine in the glass. After wiping the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, he smiled and said to Sun Junbo: "Who else can tell me what kind of generous reward that little guy from Ningyuan can give me? Are you and I completely devoted to Ning Yuan?

If I were completely devoted to Ning Yuan, would you still be sitting here drinking and eating meat with me today? "

"Then why did you reject President Ye's solicitation and choose Ningyuan?" Sun Junbo continued to ask.

“Of course it’s for self-protection!

Ning Yuan and Xiong Dashi have been hooking up for more than a day or two. Of course you don't know if you are not here in Shandong, but I am surrounded by the Dashi Kingdom. Don't I know?

If I had dared to show any intention of joining the Northern Expedition Alliance,

Ningyuan's Condor Air Force and the Orc Army of the Dashi Kingdom will immediately flatten my place.

Ning Yuan has already threatened me openly, do you think I still dare to accept President Ye's solicitation? "Chu Tianba said heartbrokenly.

Despite Chu Tianba's rough appearance and careless attitude, this kid is really full of bad intentions.

Today's barbecue party is actually a Hongmen banquet. Chu Tianba has already thought of how to fool Sun Junbo.

"Brother Chu, why didn't you ask for help from us then?

If you had agreed to President Ye's solicitation, we would have rescued you at all costs. "

Sun Junbo didn't quite believe Chu Tianba's words because there were many loopholes in them.

Looking at Sun Junbo who was staring at him closely, Chu Tianba curled his lips in disdain, and then said unceremoniously: "Brother Sun, you have to be honest. When your flying legion was completely wiped out by the Condor Air Force in Shanxi, What are you doing to rescue me?

Judging from your efficiency in doing things, to put it bluntly, I might have already died, and you haven't decided whether to send troops to rescue me.

Now most of Ning Yuan's flying legions are trapped on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, so you have the confidence to attack the Dashi Kingdom at this time.

When the Condor Air Force was on the north bank of the Yellow River, did you have the confidence? "

Chu Tianba didn't give Sun Junbo any face, and directly exposed the other party's lies.

Back when Ye Ziqing and others couldn't even defend their home base of Shanxi, what could they do to rescue themselves inside the Dashi Kingdom?

It's just a fool's errand.

Hearing Chu Tianba's naked ridicule, Sun Junbo couldn't find a chance to refute, so he could only giggle there to relieve his embarrassment.

There was no way, who told Chu Tianba that what he said was basically the truth?

"Come, Brother Chu, let me toast you. Don't mention the past anymore. Let's only look at the present."

Seeing Chu Tianba staring straight at him, Sun Junbo had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and persuade him to drink.

"That's right. Come on, let's just look at today. Cheers."

Chu Tianba did not reject anyone who came and drank the wine in the cup directly.

After drinking three glasses of wine with Chu Tianba in a row, Sun Junbo wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and spoke again:

"Brother Chu, most of the Air Force of the Condor Empire is now trapped on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and the Condor Army on the north bank of the Yellow River cannot find any chance to cross the river. This is a great opportunity for us to annex the Dashi Kingdom and regain Shandong. .

Now that the troops of our Northern Expedition Alliance have reached the west bank of the Grand Canal, they are only separated from Brother Chu's territory by a river. I wonder if Brother Chu is still willing to join forces with our Northern Expedition Alliance to jointly resist the aggressive Condor Empire?

I came here this time under the entrustment of our President Lu Chenguang.

Our President Lu has said that as long as Brother Chu is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, we will still keep what President Ye and the others promised to Brother Chu before.

In addition, after destroying the Dashi Kingdom, we will also give Zaozhuang, Linyi and other places to Brother Chu.

If Brother Chu can help us regain Anhui and Jiangsu in the future, then we will give Xuzhou, Suqian and Lianyungang to Brother Chu as reward.

Brother Chu, haven’t you always wanted to create a new Mahayana Buddhism in the game?

As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, Brother Chu, your believers can set up temples in any territory of our Northern Expedition Alliance.

How about it? Brother Chu, are we sincere enough? "

In order to win over Chu Tianba from Ningyuan, the Northern Expedition Alliance spent a lot of money this time.

After Chu Tianba heard the favorable conditions offered to him by the Northern Expedition Alliance, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The main problems that have always plagued the development of his Mahayana Buddhist kingdom have been population and territory.

Trapped in the inner ring of Mount Tai, Chu Tianba only had so many people under his command. Even if he wanted to expand the size of the Demon-Conquering Army, he couldn't.

Zaozhuang and Linyi are densely populated, and Xuzhou, Suqian, and Lianyungang are even more densely populated places of plenty.

If he could have owned these places earlier, his Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom would have developed long ago, and he might even be able to compete with Ningyuan's Condor Empire.

However, time waits for no one. The Divine Eagle Empire has already developed into a behemoth. Now even if the entire Jiangsu region is given to him, it will be difficult for him to catch up in a short time.

Regarding land and missionary rights, the Northern Expedition Alliance has indeed shown enough sincerity this time. Unfortunately, he has already made a choice. It is not his style to go back on his word, so he can only say sorry.

Looking at Chu Tianba who suddenly became energetic for a while and then shook his head for a while, Sun Junbo couldn't help but asked: "Brother Chu, what's wrong with you? Are you not satisfied with the reward we gave you?"

Shaking his head gently, Chu Tianba sighed: "No, you have shown great sincerity this time. I am just lamenting that this opportunity came a little late."

"Brother Chu, have you agreed to cooperate with us?"

Seeing that Chu Tianba had no intention of refusing, Sun Junbo was overjoyed.

Chu Tianba shook his head again and said: "No.

I have accepted the benefits from Ning Yuan and used people's money to eliminate disasters. If I suddenly betray Ning Yuan now, I will be condemned by countless domestic players, so I cannot cooperate with you yet. "

"Then Brother Chu, are you going to become our enemy?"

Upon hearing that Chu Tianba was unwilling to betray Ning Yuan, the smile on Sun Junbo's face immediately disappeared without a trace, replaced by a cold look.

Seeing the expression on Sun Junbo's face changing rapidly, Chu Tianba said with a smile: "Of course it's impossible. I'm not stupid. How could I take the initiative to be your enemy?"

"Brother Chu, what exactly do you think? Can you give me some sweet words?"

Sun Junbo was completely stunned by Chu Tianba. Seeing the expression on Chu Tianba's face that he wanted to be beaten, he really wanted to hit Chu Tianba's bald head a few times.

"Quite simply, I will remain neutral this time.

I have already accepted the reward from Ning Yuan, so I will not betray him until Ning Yuan does something sorry for me.

The Dashi Kingdom has been hostile to me for many years and is my life-and-death enemy. I will definitely not help them become your enemy.

Although the Condor Empire and the Dashi Kingdom wear the same pants, Ning Yuan did not explicitly tell me that he wants me to help the Dashi Kingdom resist foreign enemies, so I have every reason to remain neutral at this moment.

As for what happens next? It's actually very simple.

After you destroyed the entire Dashi Kingdom, you directly surrounded my Mahayana Buddha Kingdom.

If you suddenly send troops to attack me at this time, as the target of my refuge, Ning Yuan must send troops to rescue me.

If the Condor Army arrives too late, then I will definitely be unable to withstand your fierce attack, so in order to protect myself, I will have no choice but to surrender to you.

My Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom and the Condor Empire now belong to the relationship between a tributary state and a suzerain state. As a suzerain state, since the Condor Empire cannot protect my safety, Ningyuan has no reason to blame me for surrendering to you.

So what my fate and the fate of the Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom will look like in the end depends on what your Northern Expedition Alliance wants to do. "

Seeing that Sun Junbo was a little anxious, Chu Tianba stopped talking in circles with him and told him the plan he had already thought of.

After he finished speaking, he winked at Sun Junbo mischievously, and the meaning was self-evident.

"High, really high."

After hearing what Chu Tianba meant, Sun Junbo immediately gave Chu Tianba a thumbs up, and the expression on his face immediately turned from cloudy to clear.

"Brother Chu, don't worry. When we destroy the Dashi Kingdom, the Eagle Army will definitely be too late to rescue you, hahahahaha."

When he thought of the scene where the Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces approached the city and Chu Tianba immediately led his troops to surrender, Sun Junbo could no longer suppress his excitement and immediately burst into laughter.

"Brother Sun, do you need me to give you this opportunity so that you can experience what it means to be 'powerful and powerful'?" Chu Tianba said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll thank Brother Chu first.

By the way, Brother Chu, since you want to remain neutral this time, how do you want to maintain neutrality?

Can you ask your army to retreat a little to give us a foothold to cross the river? "

After laughing, Sun Junbo immediately proposed the idea of ​​crossing the river on the territory of the Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom to test Chu Tianba's sincerity.

"Of course. Now that Brother Sun has shown his sincerity on behalf of the Northern Expedition Alliance, it's up to me to show my sincerity.

Let's do this. I will directly give up all the land between the Daqing River and the Grand Canal. Brother Sun, you can choose where to cross the river.

I wonder if Brother Sun is still satisfied with my proposal? "

Seeing that Sun Junbo took the initiative to bring the topic to the main topic, Chu Tianba immediately got off the donkey and started to set a trap for Sun Junbo.

“Brother Chu, can’t we not withdraw our troops?

If you withdraw your troops, then the Dashi Kingdom will definitely be the first to occupy those lands. Then all your good intentions will be taken over by the Dashi Kingdom. "

Sun Junbo immediately frowned when he heard that Chu Tianba did not intend to cover his side in crossing the river.

Seeing Sun Junbo's expression, Chu Tianba smiled and explained: "Brother Sun, the Dashi Kingdom and the Divine Eagle Empire are wearing the same pants. If I directly cover you to cross the river, then Ning Yuan will not immediately know that I have betrayed him. Yet?

If he becomes angry from shame and comes to support the Dashi Kingdom at all costs, it will affect your overall strategy of destroying the Dashi Kingdom, so I still have to avoid suspicion for a while and not let Ning Yuan grab any leverage. "
