Chapter 395: The Plot Officially Begins

Zhang Chao was also big-hearted and didn't notice that the fresh blood in his wine vessel had decreased significantly, but his gaze fell on Su Li’s wine vessel, and he suddenly said earnestly: "Prefect Su, your blood color is a bit light! Could it be that you didn't sleep all night?"

"Although it's certainly good for young people to enjoy themselves, but... you really need to replenish your blood!"

Zhang Chao said with great hidden meaning.

"My blood color is a bit light, what does that have to do with enjoying myself?"

Su Li was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

This Zhang Chao was clearly implying his actions from yesterday!

This Zhang Chao looked upright on the surface, but he didn't expect his heart to be full of messy things!

Was he, Su Li, that kind of person?

Su Li:.......

This made people a bit depressed!

However, looking at the faint blood, Su Li really couldn't explain it, so he could only shift his gaze, not wanting to talk to Zhang Chao anymore.

He looked at the two warlords in the distance, Tao Tao Tao Qian and Kong Rong. These two were Confucian scholars and clearly couldn't accept this kind of swearing alliance with blood.

After hesitating for a long time, they finally steeled their hearts and slashed at their wrists.

Looking at the two’s painful expressions, Su Li immediately smiled again and shifted his gaze back to Zhang Chao.

He suddenly felt Zhang Chao was pleasing to the eye again. What was going on?

After the warlords had finished letting out their blood, NPC units poured the wine vessels containing the blood of each warlord into a large tripod and mixed them together.

Then they poured them back into the wine vessels and gave each warlord a large cup.

To be honest, seeing this, Su Li was truly speechless...

You said letting out blood was one thing, but drinking your own was still acceptable.

But damn it, you have to mix it all together and then drink it?

They really weren't afraid of anyone having an infectious disease or something!

If there really was one, wouldn't everyone be hit by it after drinking this?

By then, one by one, they would all fail before the battle and die, making heroes shed tears of regret!

But even without a disease, Su Li found it disgusting.

So when all the warlords drank it in one gulp, he quietly blocked the front with his hand, and then, seizing the opportunity, secretly poured the blood wine behind him...

Everything was ready, and Yuan Shao took out his exclusive divine weapon, the Sizhao Sword, and shouted from a high place: "I, Yuan, am untalented, but having been pushed by you all to be the alliance leader, I will surely do my utmost to make it my duty to defeat the traitor Dong and restore the Han Dynasty!"

All the warlords said: We will only listen to Alliance Leader Yuan.

Yuan Shao looked around and continued: "According to yesterday’s plan, the Marquis of Wucheng, Sun Jian, will be the vanguard, and Prefect Su will be the subordinate army. We will immediately attack Si Pass, and the rest of us will follow to take Hulao!"

"Order received!"

Sun Jian said loudly, cupping his hands.

Su Li, who had been named, also responded pretentiously.

Subsequently, they each went down to prepare.

At this point, the plot officially began.

Players could choose a warlord they wanted to join to serve and follow to gain battle merit.

Then...

When Su Li returned to the camp, a row of message notifications suddenly popped up on his character panel...

"Ding! Player 【Lin Tian】 requests to join your warlord camp and fight side by side with you!"

"Ding! Player 【Su Mubai】 requests to join your warlord camp and fight side by side with you!"

"Ding! Player 【Zhang Hanli】 requests to join your warlord camp and fight side by side with you!"

"Ding! Player 【Wu Wu Yifan】 requests to join your warlord camp and fight side by side with you!"

"Ding! Player 【Wang Wang Shichong】 requests to join your warlord camp and fight side by side with you!"

"Ding!..."

"Ding!..."

"Ding!..."

Clicking on it, it turned out that countless players wanted to join his command and fight side by side with him...

Good heavens, with so many messages popping up, Su Li felt that the screen in front of him was like a previous online game screen, lagging for a moment.

The rows of messages almost occupied his entire field of vision. Someone who didn't know better would think he had caught some kind of virus.

Ding, ding, ding!

"Ding! Player 【Wu Wu Yifan】 requests to join your warlord camp and fight side by side with you!"

"Ding! Player 【Wang Wang Shichong】 requests to join your warlord camp and fight side by side with you!"

"Ding! Player 【Li Wanqing】 requests to join your warlord camp and fight side by side with you!"

"Ding!..."

"Ding!..."

"Ding!..."

Alright!

By the current stage of the game, Su Li had completely become a celebrity in China.

Most players knew that following him meant having meat to eat, so compared to other warlords, players naturally wanted to strive to join his command—as he was also a player—in this main storyline.

"Settings: Reject all players."

"Settings: Block private chat messages."

Su Li quickly adjusted the settings. Although the troops under his command were few, their combat power was very strong, all of them being of a quality above special units. Why would he need players to join? To lower the grade?

Wasn't it better to take the battle merit by himself?

Why let other players follow along and freeload?

Sorry, he wasn't bored enough for that!

After setting it to reject all additions, Su Li walked toward the camp, preparing to assemble his troops and rendezvous with Sun Jian to see what Sun Jian, as the vanguard, wanted to do.

His status was that of a subordinate army, so he naturally had to follow the Marquis of Wucheng, Sun Jian.

"Since speed is the essence of war, I have found a shortcut to launch a surprise attack on Si Pass. What does Prefect Su think?"

Sun Jian had also long thought of a marching plan. Seeing Su Li ask, he told the truth. If Su Li disagreed, he would still insist on his own idea.

"I will follow the Marquis of Wucheng’s arrangements entirely!"

Upon hearing this, Su Li cupped his hands and didn't say much. He just needed to follow behind Sun Jian for now.

On the other side.

While the warlords were gathering at Suanzao, Dong Zhuo was still enjoying himself in Luoyang.

In this world, the Luoyang palace was divided into the main hall and the harem.

Among them, the main hall was where the Emperor discussed affairs.

The harem was where the Emperor’s concubines resided.

But now, the harem and the Emperor’s concubines had become Dong Zhuo’s exclusive place...

Dong Zhuo was now over fifty years old, with a large beard.

Every day he sought pleasure in the harem, having a great time!

Today was the same.

Dong Zhuo summoned a group of young women, all wearing special costumes, standing in rows, looking very much like he was choosing concubines.

However, it was also at this moment.

"Report! The nineteen warlords of the Guandong alliance are gathering and bringing an army to invade. Please decide, my lord!"

A guard hurriedly brought the news.

"What? These ignorant fellows!"

The news of the Guandong warlords’ alliance invading shocked Dong Zhuo, and he had to pull up his pants.

At this period, although Dong Zhuo had begun to indulge in wine and women and his body was gradually weakening, his vigor remained, and he immediately went to the palace’s main hall in a swift and decisive manner.

He issued an urgent decree, summoning all his generals and strategists to prepare to discuss countermeasures, to let all the invading enemies know that he, Dong Zhuo, was not some so-called paper tiger.

Soon.

All the generals and strategists gathered.

Under Dong Zhuo’s command, in terms of martial strength, the strongest was undoubtedly the peerless Lu Bu.

In terms of strategy, it was naturally led by the poisonous strategist Li Ru!

Therefore, upon learning that the Guandong warlords’ army was invading, the strategist Li Ru was the first to step out. He thought for a moment and then cupped his hands: "My lord, the Guandong warlords have come with nineteen camps this time. Their momentum is huge, and their strength cannot be underestimated."

"However, I suspect they will take Si Pass as their primary target and then feign an attack on Hulao."

"Therefore... I suggest we should send people to Si Pass in advance to set an ambush and intercept them, to gain the initiative."

If Su Li were here, he would definitely give Li Ru a thumbs-up. He was worthy of being the top strategist in the early Three Kingdoms period, actually seeing through the warlords’ first step directly.

It was indeed prepared to take Si Pass as the primary target and then feign an attack on Hulao.

No wonder in history, the Tiger of Jiangdong, Sun Jian, suffered a crushing defeat; it turned out he was ambushed in advance.

It had to be said that Li Ru’s strategic vision was so sharp that he actually saw through the enemy’s movements.

Someone who didn't know better would think Li Ru also had the script.

Actually anticipating the enemy’s moves; while others were on the first floor, Li Ru was already on the tenth floor.
