Chapter 381

During this period, whether it was Dong Zhuo or his various subordinate generals, they were all in a stage of high morale, and their military strength was also in a strong period... 0

Moreover, Dong Zhuo already held the elite troops used by the imperial court to quell the Liangzhou rebellion, plus the two powerful units under his own command, the [Flying Bear Army] and the [Xiliang Sudden Cavalry], and his strength was evident.

Li Jue and Guo Si, leading the hidden unit level [Flying Bear Army] troops, quickly took the Tong Pass and Hangu Pass.

Hua Xiong and Niu Fu, leading the special unit [Xiliang Sudden Cavalry] that excelled in raids, also quickly occupied various key passages in Hebei and Guanzhong, closing the passes for other forces to enter Luoyang.

At the same time, Xu Rong also led an elite force to execute Cavalry General Zhang Wen, who had come to welcome the Young Emperor Liu Bian.

And publicly announced that Zhang Wen intended to rebel.

This directly led to the Five Northern Schools, the last elite force of the Eastern Han, being left without a leader.

Coupled with the fact that Dong Zhuo now occupied the orthodox bloodline of the Young Emperor Liu Bian as a righteous cause, the entire Five Northern Schools unit had no choice but to surrender to Dong Zhuo and were incorporated under his command.

In an instant, Dong Zhuo’s strength skyrocketed.

"Yuan Shao has committed insubordination, controlled the imperial palace, and committed acts of rebellion. This General will bring the Young Emperor to clear the court of traitors!"

With the Young Emperor Liu Bian as his trump card, Dong Zhuo had a righteous cause and occupied the world’s righteousness, publishing remarks about campaigning against Yuan Shao and beginning to march towards Luoyang.

For a time, Dong Zhuo’s momentum was immense to the extreme!

"Dong Zhuo wantonly executed the loyal minister of the Great Han, Cavalry General Zhang Wen, and controlled the Young Emperor Liu Bian. His ambition is like a wolf’s; we must eliminate him!"

Yuan Shao, who controlled Luoyang, learned that Dong Zhuo had begun to march towards Luoyang with the Young Emperor Liu Bian, and also published remarks about campaigning against Dong, deciding to arm-wrestle with Dong Zhuo.

Then...

On the storyline systems of all players in the Three Kingdoms world, information about the battle between the two sides began to appear.

"Yuan Shao, from a family of four generations and three dukes, sent an elite force from Jizhou to occupy Hangu day and night!"

"Dong Zhuo sent troops to support Hangu!"

"Some Xiliang generals announced their following of Dong Zhuo!"

"Ding Yuan from Bingzhou raised troops to support Yuan Shao and marched towards Hulao Pass!"

"Dong Zhuo used profit to lure Ding Yuan’s adopted son, Lu Bu, to kill Ding Yuan and annex Ding Yuan’s territory and forces."

"..."

Before the Campaign Against Dong Zhuo had even begun, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and others had already clashed with Dong Zhuo. Although this was somewhat different from the original history, it was undoubtedly very realistic...

However, the final development was the same as the historical storyline Su Li knew.

Yuan Shao’s side suffered a setback.

Dong Zhuo had the Young Emperor Liu Bian and the Prince of Chenliu, Liu Xie, occupied the righteous cause, and invaded Luoyang.

Yuan Shao could only lead his troops and flee back to Jizhou in a sorry state.

However, the matter was not over.

After Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, he began to inflate. In order to establish personal authority, he disregarded Li Ru’s opposition and arbitrarily deposed the orthodox Young Emperor Liu Bian, changing the Emperor to the Prince of Chenliu, Liu 30 Xie.

He thought this would allow him to better control imperial power.

However, it immediately aroused the indignation of the world, causing the hatred of all bureaucrats and scholars, and the various Prefects he appointed also began to oppose him.

The call for the world to campaign against Dong Zhuo grew louder day by day.

At this time, another main storyline-related character, Cao Cao, appeared and conspired with Wang Yun to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

Up to this point.

More than half of the one-month time had passed.

There were only a few days left before the Campaign Against Dong Zhuo storyline would officially begin.

And before this.

Su Li, who had traveled back and forth to various prefecture cities, also found the wandering merchants and exchanged enough Black Gold and Hundred-Refined Steel materials from their hands.

Speaking of which, he was quite lucky.

The items needed to exchange for Black Gold materials were precious equipment.

The higher the quality of the precious equipment, the more materials could be exchanged.

To be honest, what Su Li lacked most now was precious equipment.

From the beginning of the game until now, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of low-star quality precious equipment.

Exchanging them all for Black Gold, he could exchange for a full four thousand units.

In addition, Hundred-Refined Steel could be bought with gold coins.

With Su Li’s current wealth, he could buy as much as he wanted.

The materials were ready.

Under Su Li’s arrangement, Linglong also recruited a large number of experienced blacksmiths in Changshan Prefecture and established the Ministry of Works.

Then, Su Li let Linglong lead them to start crafting the Black Gold Set and the Feather Bow.

After arranging these.

Su Li didn't stay idle and joined the ranks of training troops.

Striving to train enough Meteor Archer Guards and Rattan Armor Fighters by the time the second chapter main storyline officially began.

Then, gathering the power of the three units—Red Blood Dragon Cavalry, Meteor Archer Guard, and Rattan Armor Fighter—to participate in the upcoming Campaign Against Dong Zhuo, striving to get the highest rewards for this storyline!

As the one-month storyline triggering stage was about to end.

Su Li finally crafted three thousand [Feather Bows] and three thousand [Black Armor Sets].
