Chapter 380

Especially joining the Dong Zhuo faction, which could actually grant qualification for the "Wine Pool and Meat Forest" and additional attribute rewards.

The chat area immediately exploded.

"Holy crap, the national war just ended, and the second chapter main storyline [Campaign Against Dong Zhuo] has already started?"

"Hahaha, I didn't participate in the national war this time, but in these two months, I recruited generals. This time I must show my skills!"

"Speaking of which, which faction are you guys planning to join?"

"Need you ask? Definitely the Dong Zhuo faction!"

"Didn't you see the rich rewards of the Dong Zhuo faction? If you miss this village, there won't be this shop (daaa)!"

"Yes, yes, yes! That’s true, maybe this chapter is a welfare given to us by the system."

"No more talk, I’m definitely joining the Dong Zhuo faction, even the Heavenly King couldn't stop me!"

"+1!"

"+10086!"

Because of the rich rewards in the system announcement, most players tended to choose the Dong Zhuo faction.

However, they didn't know that the Dong Zhuo faction was destined to be destroyed in the Three Kingdoms world.

This was like the Yellow Turbans before; a flash in the pan, and it would disappear in the long river of history.

Su Li, the only one who knew the Three Kingdoms storyline, frowned slightly as he looked at the system announcement.

The system’s announcement seemed to be deliberately guiding players to choose the Dong Zhuo faction.

Its purpose seemed somewhat impure.

Of course.

Regardless of the system’s motives.

Knowing the storyline, he would definitely choose the warlord faction.

And he was now a Prefect, so he could be among the ranks of the warlords.

There was no reason to join the Dong Zhuo faction.

The hidden treasure mentioned by the system at the end made Lin Tian somewhat interested.

So, in order to perform outstandingly in the second chapter main storyline and try his best to get the hidden treasure that could influence the progress of the world, he had to continue to strengthen his own improvement.

Fortunately, there was still a one-month preparation stage.

During this stage, the Dong Zhuo faction and the warlord faction would officially trigger the storyline.

This meant they would compete with each other during this time, with Luoyang as the center.

Eventually, it would recreate the original Three Kingdoms historical storyline: Dong Zhuo occupies Luoyang, and the warlords form an alliance to campaign against Dong.

And this month was the opportunity for players to lay out their plans.

Moreover, the official position system was opened; as long as corresponding tasks were completed, official positions could be obtained, up to Prefect, and then one could join the main storyline as a warlord.

However, wanting to obtain a Prefect position in one month was still unrealistic.

Of course!

This was not something Su Li needed to worry about.

He was already the Prefect of Changshan Prefecture, so he didn't need to specifically obtain the position of Prefect.

He only needed to develop himself.

First, set a small goal.

In one month, train the special unit Rattan Armor Fighter and the hidden unit Meteor Archer Guard.

Then make further plans.

After making the plan, Su Li had to do the preparatory work first, meeting the training requirements for the two units.

First were the unit skills; the Meteor Archer Guard required high-level archery, and the Rattan Armor Fighter required mid-level fist techniques.

These were easy to satisfy. In one month, plus his Hundred-Fold Growth talent, it was enough to raise the skill proficiency and unit profession proficiency of both units to high-level.

Then there was the required equipment.

The hard requirement for the Meteor Archer Guard was a special crossbow weapon.

This was also easy to satisfy; he had previously obtained a blueprint for a special weapon called [Feather Bow], and as long as Linglong took action, she could start crafting the [Feather Bow].

Next was the precious set required by the Rattan Armor Fighter.

This was a bit troublesome.

Although he had the [Black Armor Set], the materials required for the Black Armor Set—Black Gold and Hundred-Refined Steel—were hard to obtain.

Therefore...

In order to gather these two materials.

Su Li prepared to make a trip to various prefecture cities.

Hmm, the markets in every prefecture city had a certain probability of spawning a wandering merchant.

As long as he visited a few more places, he would eventually encounter a wandering merchant.

Then, by interacting with the wandering merchant a few more times, he would know what items were needed to exchange for Black Gold and Hundred-Refined Steel.

Once he was prepared, it wouldn't be very difficult to obtain them.

It would just require a very long process.

Time flowed slowly.

As Su Li traveled back and forth to various places, meeting wandering merchants and gathering the materials for the [Black Gold Set].

The Han court in Luoyang had already begun to officially trigger the storyline.

First, Grand General He Jin and Yuan Shao, from a family of four generations and three dukes, joined forces to lead troops to attack the Ten Eunuchs and execute the eunuchs.

Unfortunately, before they could succeed, they were betrayed by a mole arranged by the eunuchs. The Regular Attendant Duan Gui and others immediately led their party to strike first, beheading Grand General He Jin before the Jiade Hall.

But fortunately, Yuan Shao had also made preparations in advance and sent troops to surround the Luoyang Imperial Palace.

On the other side.

Yuan Shu, the legitimate son of the Yuan family, also from a family of four generations and three dukes, was unwilling to remain silent. He led troops to attack the "077" palace gates, burning the Qingsuo Gate, and the fire burned for several days.

Surrounded by Yuan Shao and others, Luoyang fell, the imperial palace was in chaos, and Zhang Rang and the other surviving Ten Eunuchs had no choice but to hold the Young Emperor Liu Bian and the Prince of Chenliu, Liu Xie, and flee in a panic from the covered walkway.

Yuan Shao and his uncle Yuan Wei and others falsely claimed to be acting under imperial decree to kill the eunuchs, killing the eunuch partisans, and then lined up troops under the Vermilion Bird Gate, surrounding and killing the eunuch Zhao Zhong and others who hadn't had time to escape.

He also ordered the palace gates to be closed, blocked Luoyang, strictly forbade entry and exit, and directed his troops to search for eunuchs in the palace, killing everyone regardless of age, with over ten thousand dead.

Two fierce generals from Hebei brought the heads of the Ten Eunuchs to see Yuan Shao.

"Yan Liang, Wen Chou, you two have made great contributions. In the future, I will definitely make you both marquises and prime ministers."

Yuan Shao had two fierce generals as vanguards and was the first to control Luoyang.

By the time Yuan Shu, who also wanted to control Luoyang, realized Yuan Shao’s actions, it was already too late. Yuan Shao had already killed the Ten Eunuchs and controlled the situation in Luoyang.

But Yuan Shu was still on the same side as Yuan Shao at this time; he had no choice but to assist Yuan Shao in controlling Luoyang, killing all the eunuchs together, and then discuss other matters.

However, at this time, Dong Zhuo, who had always been in secret contact with the Ten Eunuchs, saw the opportunity and led his army to the western suburbs of Luoyang, meeting Zhang Rang and others at the foot of Beimang Slope, capturing the Young Emperor Liu Bian and the Prince of Chenliu, Liu Xie.

With the orthodox bloodline in hand, Dong Zhuo accidentally obtained the trump card to control the world’s situation.

"My Lord, Li Li Wenyou believes that you should now send an elite force to quickly take the Tong Pass and Hangu Pass, otherwise if these two passes are occupied by Yuan Shao, there will be endless trouble!"

With the trump card in hand, Li Ru, Dong Zhuo’s chief strategist, began to offer advice: "At the same time, we should also use the decree of the Young Emperor Liu Bian to declare to the world that Yuan Shao’s attack on the imperial palace is an act of insubordination, and we can announce Yuan Shao’s crimes."

"And immediately execute the Commander of the Five Northern Schools, Cavalry General Zhang Wen, taking the opportunity to use the Young Emperor Liu Bian’s status to take over the Five Northern Schools, and march east to dominate Henei and Guanzhong, competing for the world in the east."

In the early stages, Li Ru could be called the most powerful strategist in the Three Kingdoms. Not only did he occupy the high ground with the status of the Young Emperor Liu Bian, but he also made a comprehensive plan to ensure the foolproof capture of Luoyang and balance the world.

The reason Dong Zhuo was able to kill his way from Liangzhou so quickly also had a lot to do with Li Ru. Li Ru was almost god-like in his calculations, and he naturally relied heavily on Li Ru, immediately ordering: "Li Jue, Guo Si, I order you two to lead the Flying Bear Army to quickly take the Tong Pass and Hangu Pass."

"Yes!"

The Flying Bear Army was the most powerful hidden unit under Dong Zhuo, capable of traveling a thousand miles a day.

"Hua Xiong, Niu Fu, I order you two to lead the Xiliang Sudden Cavalry to drive straight into Hebei and Guanzhong, and take all the key passages."

The Xiliang Sudden Cavalry was also a special unit under Dong Zhuo that was not weak, and their combat power on the plains was among the best.

"Xu Rong, listen to the order, I order you to immediately execute Zhang Wen and use the Emperor’s bloodline to coordinate the Five Northern Schools..."

"Yes!"

“Understood!”
