Three Kingdoms

In the Three Kingdoms game, if there is only one city in an area, plus at most two or three farms or fishing ports, it is extremely cumbersome. Of course, this limit is not the limit of the game designer, but the limit of the players. According to the ideas of game designers, they often want to be more complicated, so complicated that every step requires a lot of operations. This limit is the limit of ordinary players. Except for a few hardcore players, most players don't like overly complicated modes, and there are even many people who adjust the difficulty to the simplest novice level as soon as they get started.

However, in reality, the territory of Sichuan and Shu is not as simple as two cities. Although Wei Yan repeatedly advanced, after arriving in Guanghan, it was already at the end of its war effort. Even though Wei Yan had the intention, the fatigue of the soldiers no longer allowed Wei Yan to do more. What action was taken, but because the initial power frightened Zhao Wei, Wei Yan was able to get some extra rest time in Guanghan City.

Be it Nanchong or Guanghan, in addition to the two main cities, there are also some surrounding cottages, villages and towns where people gather, and only by controlling these people gathering places can people who have strayed from the county know the current cities and towns. The owner has been changed, and this can be regarded as basically controlling an area. It will be at least a year before complete control and allowing these villages to recognize taxes and other things...

As time went by, Zhao Wei gradually realized that Wei Yan was just a partial army, no, an army of liars, and Wei Yan was the biggest liar!

Behind Wei Yan, there may be troops to conquer the west, but definitely not now!

On the upper floor of Guanghan City Gate, Zhao Wei was sitting upright, as if squinting his eyes to rest his mind, or thinking about something.

Naturally, Zhao Wei did not dare to fall out with Wei Yan, and he had some concerns. However, Zhao Wei felt very unwilling to swallow this breath. Therefore, it is difficult to express the complexity in his heart with words. The most important thing is that , Zhao Wei couldn't even find anyone with whom he could talk and share his burdens.

Looking out from this angle, Zhao Wei could see Wei Yan's camp on the other side of the mountain road. This made Zhao Wei very miserable, as if he accidentally ate half a bug when he was making breakfast, and the half bug was not dead and was still crawling around in his stomach and throat. It was as uncomfortable as he wanted.

It has been several years since he resigned and followed Liu Yan to Sichuan, and his family has benefited a lot from this. If Pang Xi hadn't been too aggressive this time, Zhao Wei would not have thought of using such an extreme method to protect himself. rights and interests. I thought that after giving Liu Zhang and Pang Xi a lesson under Guanghan City, Liu Zhang and Pang Xi would definitely understand Zhao Wei's own strength, and they would definitely pay attention to it, and they would be able to gain the status of a branch. However, when Zhao Wei arrived now, he suddenly discovered that he had thought that he had been preparing for this big event for many years. He always thought that all the situations had been anticipated and all the troubles had been prepared. But now, he felt that all the plans and plans were... They couldn't keep up with the changes in the situation.

It’s not that Zhao Wei didn’t know that Zhengxi was attacking Baxi County, but it turned out that Zhao Wei believed that although Hanchang was lost, Langzhong had a heavy army. Zhengxi was going to attack Langzhong, and it would take at least two or three months for the army to operate until the weather cooled down. After sending troops in the autumn, Langzhong can sustain it for a month or two. In this way, Zhao Wei will have nearly half a year to reach a certain consensus with Liu Zhang and Pang Xi...

After all, Liu Zhang and Pang Xi were not willing to see the total collapse of Brazil County and become the territory of General Zhengxi, so they would inevitably compromise in the end. In this way, Zhao Wei would have time to return to Langzhong, and then transfer General Zhengxi's territory to General Zhengxi. The men and horses stopped him.

When autumn and winter are over, the Langshui River will inevitably rise sharply. If the army does not retreat during the Western Expedition, Zhao Wei, who is familiar with the terrain of Brazil, has several methods that he can use...

However, this plan once again went awry because of the appearance of Wei Yan. It was like the original mortgage and car loan repayment time was just enough for my salary to arrange, but unexpectedly these two guys suddenly announced that not only would they repay the loan in advance, but they would also raise the loan interest rate and cancel the provident fund discount.

Wei Yan's appearance caught everyone off guard, not only Liu Zhang and Pang Xi, but also Zhao Wei. Although the army of conquering the west has not arrived yet, Zhao Wei still felt the worry and confusion permeating Guanghan City, even among his own men.

Zhao Wei originally thought that relying on the special terrain in Sichuan and Shu, and relying on his position in the army, even if he could not dominate one side, he could still move between Zhengxi and Liu Zhang, and then look for opportunities. , However, now, all the plans have come to nothing, all matters have to be re-deduced, and no one can rely on it. Zhao Wei himself, and even the fate of Zhao Wei's family, must be planned by Zhao Wei alone.

Zhao Wei even had the worst assumption, that General Fei Qian of the Western Conquest had indeed captured Brazil, but it just took time to stabilize the situation in the county, and then Wei Yan's place was a test. If Zhao Wei knew the situation...

When Zhao Wei was worried, suddenly a soldier rushed to the door and reported: "General! Someone is coming from Sichuan! It's Zhang Biejia!"

Zhao Hao stood up suddenly, Zhang Biejia?

Zhang Song?

Why did he come here?

Could it be that...

Zhao Wei said quickly: "Come here, prepare your horses and prepare to go out of the city to meet Zhang Biejia!"

…………………………

Putting aside the chaotic situation in Sichuan and Shu, Liu Bei in Jingxiang actually faced many problems.

If Liu Bei saw the settings of some Three Kingdoms games in later generations, he would definitely not be able to help but curse. Why is Liu Bei's side's starting settings so illusory and not at all like his own situation?

In the troubled times of the Yellow Turban, Liu Bei thought he could get ahead with his military merits, but unexpectedly, the wealthy and aristocratic families were still promoted easily, and the poor were reduced to the denominator. Without money to bribe, Liu Bei could only end up in a barren land as a small county captain.

Climbing up step by step, and then being knocked down again and again, without caring about healing the pain in my heart or wiping away the blood and tears, I have to work hard for the next time...

Is this the start of normal difficulty?

It's obviously hell mode, okay!

When he arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Biao personally went out of the city to greet him, then allocated money and food, replenished troops, and even assigned a small county town for Liu Bei to station and train. On the surface, everything seemed to be going great.

Well, yes, it’s Shinno.

The north and south meet, a strategic point.

Although Xinye’s name has the word “新” in it, which seems pretty good, in fact, because there is also the word “野”, the actual situation of Xinye is quite touching.

Xinye is a small city in the north of Xiangyang. It can't be any smaller. It only takes less than 800 steps to walk from the north to the south of the city. It is even smaller from the east to the west of the city, only less than 600 steps. The city defenses are in disrepair. It is said that the last time The large-scale renovation took place in the seventh year of Yanxi...

It's not the strategy of Yanxi, but the Seven Years of Yanxi, which was about the generation of the grandfather of the current Han Emperor.

There are less than 1,000 households in the city and the population is less than 5,000. What is the monthly income...

zero.

The first income will not come until the Autumn Fu.

Then, the tax on income last fall was more than 115,000 yuan.

A lot?

The number seems to be quite a lot, but just compare the current prices...

A better horse is about the same price, just over 100,000 yuan. A horse cannot be used on the battlefield and can only be used to pull goods and farmland. If it is a war horse, it will cost more than double, almost 200,000 or 300,000.

One year's income can only be used to buy one horse. Is this too much or too little?

Liu Bei still needs to act calm and calm in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, in front of the soldiers and generals, and in front of the people of the new country. In fact, only Liu Bei himself knows that he is panicking...

That kind of panic.

You can't touch up and down, and you can't rely on the four sides. It belongs to the starting hand of 2,580,000, 369, one for each of the east, west, north, and south. You can't touch anything you want, you can't eat it, you can't touch it. type.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Liu Bei said, smiling, then panicking in his heart.

In fact, Liu Bei also understood why Liu Biao asked him to stay in Xinye.

Who can be trusted these days?

Liu Bei voted for Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, and Cao Cao. Who can guarantee that Liu Biao will not be the next one to vote? Even Liu Bei himself couldn't guarantee this, let alone Liu Biao.

However, Liu Bei felt that he still had a chance, but when this opportunity came, Liu Bei was still a little confused, even a little overwhelmed...

…………………………

"The situation is unfavorable..." Cai Hao also sighed.

Judging from Cai's initial start, it was actually okay. Marrying Liu Biao, the native emperor of Jingxiang, was equivalent to being a relative in the mirror area. Then he naturally held military power. On the one hand, he wiped out Liu Biao's opposition forces, and on the other hand, he also The opposition forces of Cai's family were wiped out, and both literature and style blossomed, without delaying anything.

However, as time went by, Liu Biao, like most emperors whose power was emptied out, was unwilling to accept it and always wanted to regain all the power. Therefore, after the honeymoon period, he naturally felt slack. , there was no interest in the seductive figure shown by Cai, and he even felt a little more disgusted.

Liu Biao began to press forward step by step, trying to regain power bit by bit. First, he used the excuse that the bodyguard force was insufficient, so he formed a small-scale personal security force directly under Liu Biao, and personally selected the soldiers. On the surface, They say they want to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, but in fact everyone with a discerning eye knows that they are afraid that others will mix with others among these soldiers.

It took Liu Biao three months just to form and select.

Mr. Cai tolerated this.

After all, no matter what, Liu Biao's formation of his own bodyguard is Liu Biao's personal matter. Since the scale is not large, there is no need to quarrel with Liu Biao...

However, instead of being satisfied with the status quo, Liu Biao made further progress step by step.

But at that time, the biggest difficulty that stood in front of Liu Biao was that he did not have a general to lead the army. It happened that Gan Ning came to surrender. It was like a timely rain. Liu Biao saw hope in an instant and immediately asked Gan Ning to command the soldiers and form an independent army. He took over the troops directly under Liu Biao's account.

Not long after, Cao Cao launched a war against Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao saw an opportunity. Although he did not explicitly declare an alliance with Cao Cao, in fact it was not much different. He cooperated with Cao Cao's army in fighting, and even sometimes supported each other. Soon It was almost impossible to wipe out the remaining Yuan Shu forces in Jingxiang, and then began to invade Yuzhou with Cao Cao and carve up Yuan Shu's territory.

As Liu Biao's territory outside Jingxiang expanded, the strength directly belonging to Liu Biao also expanded. Now Gan Ning is no longer a down-and-out general who defected, but a general with tens of thousands of troops!

Of course, this number is in the tens of thousands, including civilian husbands. However, this is quite astonishing. At least, we can fight against Cai Mao in a separate court...

In the homeland of Jingxiang, Cai Hao has considerable strength due to the advantage of marriage, and Liu Biao cannot interfere. However, because of this, Cai Hao cannot interfere in the territory outside Jingxiang. At the same time, Liu Biao continues to expand his territory outside. Originally, The balance of power gradually tilted towards Gan Ning.

Because there is no war in Jingxiang and Cai Mao's place, then money and food naturally need to be tilted in the direction where there is war. It can be said that if Liu Biao continues to expand, Cai Mao will one day slip from his original important seat. , becoming a supporting role, even a supporting role, a passer-by, an unknown person...

A deep sense of crisis enveloped Cai Mao's heart.

At such a critical moment, Cai Xi, the head of the Cai family, fell ill and died not long after. If this was placed in an ordinary person's home, it would not be a big deal. After all, the old man was old and there was nothing anyone could do. However, in the Cai family, especially at such a critical moment, the death of Cai Xi, the head of the Cai family, immediately disrupted the Cai family. The rhythm of the counterattack, by the time the head of the Cai family officially fell on Cai Mao, the best opportunity to counterattack had already been missed, and Liu Biao's faction had grown stronger...

Now there is Liu Bei again! Faced with such a situation, Cai Hao sometimes really wanted to curse and be so stupid...

Cai Mao felt bored at the sight of that big-eared man with a fake smile, and wished he could slap him to death.

Liu Biao must be given a warning and Liu Biao cannot continue to expand endlessly like this. Otherwise, how can the interests of Jingxiang's forces be guaranteed?

"Come here!" Cai Mao called his confidants, pondered for a moment, and then ordered, "Send the famous assassins and hold a banquet at Chenxiangxuan in Xiaozhou, Xiangyang in three days..."

It's time to show off the muscles of the Cai family, otherwise as time goes by, many people may forget how sharp the original knives of the Cai family were!
