Real Cthulhu Running Game

As we all know, the best way to capture a city is to attack from the center. Arrange a team of people to sneak into the city and wait for the army outside the city to attack. If the enemy does not find it, it is easy to capture a wall!

Of course, you can also find a way to incite some noble families in the city to rebel, let them bring their servants to create chaos in the city and disrupt the morale of the army. Anyway, it doesn’t matter who is the governor for these noble families, as long as they can keep their family business. Of course, they don’t mind taking this opportunity to expand their family business, especially to eat up the territory of their enemies.

You have to know that some of the aristocratic families in ancient times were not comparable to today. They could easily raise a ragtag army of thousands of people. Of course, the ragtag army here only means that their combat effectiveness may be average, but their loyalty is very high, because these ragtag armies are more or less related to those aristocratic families. For example, the generals are usually the children of the family or the retainers who are supported at a high price, and the ordinary soldiers are also the tenants and servants of the family. Of course, there are also professionals such as guards, so this ragtag army is also a private army.

So when we read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we often see some civil and military officials with poor abilities and reputations holding important positions under Liu Bei and Cao Cao. For example, Mi Fang, who was so incompetent, could become the governor of Nanjun and station troops in Jiangling. You should know that Jiangling was the front line against Sun Wu, and its importance was self-evident. At that time, Liu Bei still had many more capable generals than Mi Fang, but he still gave face to the Mi family behind Mi Fang. After all, Mi Zhu, the spokesperson of the Mi family at that time, was Liu Bei's angel investor.

You should know that before Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, the Mi family was already the richest aristocratic family in the area, and they could mobilize nearly 10,000 servants, guests and tenants. You should know that the Han Empire at that time might have only about 50 million people, so your family could mobilize one-fifth of the population, which was already a very scary number.

So it can be said that when Liu Bei wanted to take control of Xuzhou, the Mi family represented by Mi Zhu must have made great efforts. Moreover, Mi Zhu refused Cao Cao's solicitation for Liu Bei, and then gave up his superior life and followed Liu Bei to travel around. After years of wandering, he finally settled down in his territory. You must know that with the strength and status of the Mi family in the local area, Cao Cao had to think twice before taking action. Therefore, the Mi family only needed to take the initiative to admit their mistakes and give Cao Cao a way out. Cao Cao should have performed a good show of meeting and laughing to forget their grudges with the Mi family.

Therefore, Liu Bei would repay the favor so much and entrust Mi Fang, a mediocre talent, with an important task. After all, the martial arts world is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

As for Cao Cao, if you have the opportunity to check the list of governors he appointed, you will find that there are many people you have never heard of. But if you continue to check, you will find that these governors are all from local aristocratic families, and in the early days of Cao Cao's entrepreneurship, they joined Cao Cao with a team of troops organized by their own servants and tenants. Therefore, in addition to the troops provided by his own family and the Xiahou family, Cao Cao's subordinates at that time relied on the troops provided by these aristocratic families to obtain the ticket to dominate the world. After all, Cao Cao was not a governor at that time, and could only rely on his own people to conquer the world.

So if these initial investors under Cao Cao did not have further ambitions, Cao Cao would arrange them to go back as governors.

Therefore, in ancient times, the aristocratic families and the cities they were in had a very close binding relationship. Sometimes their attitude could determine the outcome of a siege. After all, the power that these aristocratic families can burst out can sometimes exceed your imagination.

For example, although the Liang family, to which Liang Wan'er belongs, has only returned to the ranks of aristocratic families in recent years, and there are not many respected elders in the family who can take charge of the overall situation, they are still doing well in Liangcheng. It is said that there are more than a thousand servants in the general's mansion, and it is said that there are many old subordinates of General Liang among them, so at certain critical moments, the general's mansion can also provide hundreds of elite soldiers for the third prince!

It is quite interesting to say that after registering to become emperor, the new Dragon Emperor deliberately suppressed the martial arts world and restricted the development of major sects by limiting the number of disciples, but did not limit the number of guards of each aristocratic family. This led to many aristocratic families recruiting a large number of troops in the name of guarding the house. It is said that there are at least hundreds and at most thousands. After all, you are already a noble family, and it is not justifiable if you don't have more than a dozen mansions and manors under your command. Therefore, it is reasonable to arrange dozens of guards in each place.

In addition to the aristocratic families, local tyrants and gentry can also recruit private soldiers in the name of militia training. Some people with wild ways will even become the actual controllers of some mountain strongholds. These mountain strongholds are usually very honest and will not do anything harmful to the world. They will only attack the convoys under someone's name. Of course, the things in these convoys are all good wine and meat. The little thoughts are self-evident.

So Liu Xing carefully calculated now and found that there are many private troops hidden in the current Xinlong Empire. Therefore, you may see that there are only about a thousand defenders in a city, but if you really want to fight, another thousand defenders may suddenly appear, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. After all, you are raising private troops. Isn't it a bit unreasonable not to train them according to the standards of elites?

More importantly, in addition to these private troops who are hidden in the city, there are actually players who are even more hidden, because no one knows how these people who usually have no intersection can suddenly play together.

If you think about it this way, the hidden forces in the battle of Kowloon may be more than the forces on the surface, and they are not inferior in strength, perhaps just a little short of the so-called top combat power.

This is similar to the current event, because the NPC represents the forces of the martial arts module on the surface, and the players represent the "ambush" hidden in the dark, which is still waiting to be fired. Therefore, although there are many players on the side, they can also match the ordinary soldiers among the NPCs, but now the most powerful players are only at the level of third-rate masters, and Captain Lang should be a second-rate master in Liu Xing's eyes. As for the NPCs in this event, there should be a quasi-first-rate master, that is, the final BOSS of this event.

So Liu Xing now looked at He Zhong and Luo Feng, and suddenly had a bold idea, that is, let He Zhong and Luo Feng do a two-pronged approach, one responsible for persuading the local players of Liangjin City, and the other to persuade the players from other cities. At that time, it would be equivalent to Liu Xing having two teams in Liangjin City, one inside and one outside. If the operation is done properly, it can really catch Liangjin City off guard.

Moreover, there should be character cards with good family backgrounds among the local players of Liangjin City, so if these players can find a way to get the support of the family, mobilize those guards and servants to cooperate with themselves.

If everything goes well, then Liangjin City will be in his pocket, right?

However, the premise of all this is that everything must go well, that is, the players on both sides of He Zhong and Luo Feng must join the alliance, at least they must not leak the alliance's plan to seize Liangjin City. . . But since these players are unwilling to join the alliance, they will most likely choose to fight for Liangjin City, that is, the enemy of the alliance.

Moreover, in many cases, verbal promises are ineffective, so some players may verbally say that they are willing to join the alliance, but then turn around and betray Luo Feng and He Zhong. After all, this is a great achievement, because this news can influence the ownership of the two Jinchengs. More importantly, an undercover who hides so deeply is a spy king in the eyes of NPCs, so being able to catch such an undercover can bring great spiritual satisfaction to the person involved, and he can also get a lot of rewards from the Sixth Prince.

As long as the Sixth Prince's intelligence level is not a problem, he will be able to realize how much of a threat Luo Feng and He Zhong, the two undercovers, pose to him. The most important thing is that He Zhong was still living in Lucheng a few days ago, that is, there was such an undercover under the feet of the prince, and it was an undercover on the side of the Third Prince, and he even let him hide under a certain lieutenant as the deputy captain of the personal guard!

You must know that the captain and deputy captain of the personal guard are nominally not in office, so they are also ordinary soldiers, but in fact, even the military Sima and Du Bo have to be friendly to these two captains, because they are their immediate superiors behind them.

Therefore, the two captains of the Royal Guards sometimes represent the lieutenant and general behind them. Therefore, He Zhong, the deputy captain, is capable of pretending to be the lieutenant to pass on the imperial edict, and then he can lead hundreds of confused soldiers to fight against his own people.

There are precedents in history. As long as the person who falsely passes on the imperial edict can lead the deceived people to make the rice cooked, then these deceived people can only grit their teeth and go all the way, because even if they are deceived, they will still be punished when they go back. After all, no one knows whether those who run back want to come back and continue to be undercover.

Therefore, Liu Xing felt that if He Zhong could perform exceptionally well, not only to persuade all the foreign players near the two golden cities to join the alliance, but also to lead the soldiers under his own lieutenant to attack "their own people", then even if Luo Feng did nothing, the alliance would be able to take down the two golden cities, because Luo Feng's role was to help the alliance open the city gates and avoid a seesaw-like siege war. After all, if the alliance wanted to take down the city, it really had to do it in one go, otherwise it would be exhausted and then weak.

Therefore, in Liu Xing's view, He Zhong's side was the main course, and Luo Feng was a somewhat important addition. . . If everything went well on He Zhong's side, then Luo Feng's side would seem dispensable, because the players on He Zhong's side could also shoulder the responsibility of opening the city gates, and compared to local players, these foreign players were more likely to join the alliance. After all, they had not joined other alliances in all likelihood, so the title of the world's number one alliance was still very attractive to them.

As for the local players of Liangjin City, they should have heard about the existence of the alliance a long time ago, but they have not been able to go for many reasons. Or it can be said that the temptation of the alliance is not too great for them, so they have no intention of joining the alliance. You should know that Baihe City has also received more than a dozen players from the cities under the Sixth Prince in Yuanxi City who are determined to join the alliance, but none of them are from Liangjin City.

So if someone wants to be the leaker, Liu Xing thinks it is more likely that he is a local player.

Therefore, in order to ensure that these players will not leak information, the only way Liu Xing can think of now is to join the game himself!

As long as Liu Xing can go to Liangjin City to win over these players in person and let them join the alliance, there is no need to worry about them leaking information, because the reward for leaking information cannot offset the punishment for betraying the alliance.

As for those players who insist on leaving and don’t want to join the alliance, Liu Xing feels that he can only be a bad guy, because he is not fighting alone at this time, and he must be responsible for the remaining players. Liu Xing also believes that these players can realize this, so even if they don’t want to join the alliance at that time, they have to pinch their noses and admit it.

Therefore, as long as Liu Xing joins the game, he can basically keep the basic plate of players. As for the NPC, as long as a series of plans are made and the plans have a 50% success rate, they should be able to take down Liangjin City. At the very least, they can give the Sixth Prince a wake-up call!

In short, as long as this action does not fail, Liu Xing dare not think about how many new achievements this action can trigger for him!

However, the biggest risk of entering the game is that it is easy to fall into a trap, because although the current Liangjin City is easy to enter and hard to leave, anyone can enter, but if you can't come up with a suitable reason to enter the city, then even if you are not caught on the spot, you will be targeted.

So do you want to take a gamble?

Looking at Liu Xing who suddenly became a zombie, He Zhong looked at Zhang Jingxu with some doubts, and Zhang Jingxu also told Liu Xing about his tendency to be distracted, because this is already a well-known secret.

"The leader just looked at you twice more, so I suspect he must have thought of something because of you."

As a long-time friend of Liu Xing, Zhang Jingxu naturally knew why Liu Xing suddenly became distracted at this time.

It's nothing more than wanting to take over Liangjin City!
