Chapter 47 The Importance of Plot Tasks
Good civil servants and generals cannot be obtained in a short time, so during this period, Liu Xie can only rely on himself.
Just when Liu Xie was about to reveal all his plans, Zhong Yao, after careful consideration, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have thought of a good plan."
"Oh? What's Yuan Chang's plan?" Liu Xie heard Zhong Yao's words and suddenly felt that he finally had someone around him who could share his worries.
"Your Majesty, I think that when Cao Cao attacked Zhang Xiu, in addition to Zhang Xiu being a remnant of Xiliang, he also wanted to trap your Majesty in Luoyang." Zhong Yao first raised his hand to Liu Xie, and then slowly
said.
"Your Majesty, please take a look." As he spoke, Zhong Yao pointed to the Kan map at Liu Xie's feet, and then said slowly: "North of Luoyang is Bingzhou. The situation in Bingzhou is now chaotic. The Huns, Xianbei, and Black Mountain bandits are entangled in Bingzhou.
The prefects of each county are weak, and no one except General Anbei can control a county."
"And General Anbei has the important responsibility of defending Luoyang and cannot move easily. Therefore, the current situation in Bingzhou can be regarded as a situation where all the heroes are joining forces to conquer each other."
"Northeast of Luoyang is Yuan Shao, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family. His disciples are all over the government and the public. Moreover, Yuan Shao himself has millions of troops in Jizhou, so he is really a formidable enemy."
"To the east of Luoyang is Cao Cao, to the south is Zhang Xiu, and to the west is the Xiliang Army."
"It can be said that Luoyang, where Your Majesty is located, was the place where the Four Battles took place. If Cao Cao is allowed to defeat Zhang Xiu and occupy Wancheng, then Cao Cao will have a way to the west."
"The Xiliang Army, whose main force was annihilated by Your Majesty, is definitely no match for Cao Cao. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the Xiliang Army is destroyed by Cao Cao."
"At that time, Your Majesty will be trapped in a situation where Yuan Shao is in the north and Cao Cao is in the south. This will be really disadvantageous to Your Majesty." Zhong Yao became more and more frightened as he spoke. He could feel his back at this moment.
Wet with cold sweat.
All the officials present felt frightened when they heard Zhong Yao's words.
If anyone is the most relaxed among the people present, it is probably Nanshan, Ao Da Miao, Li Jichen and others.
They have always regarded this as a game, and the analysis of the officials, in their opinion, is just a cutscene.
"Do you think these officials are all stupid?" Nanshan said in the small group of ten of them that had just been established.
"Who says it's not the case? Why do you do so much analysis? Just give it a task! Just tell me, who do you want to hit?" Ao Da Miao also said with disdain.
In his opinion, both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who has an army of millions, are just bosses they use to gain experience. As long as Liu Xie dares to give tasks, players like them will dare to attack.
"Please, they are NPCs and can only follow the plot." A top ten player said helplessly in the group.
"But it's been a long time, right? This long court meeting has been going on for two hours! Do you know how many points and military merits I can earn in these two hours?"
"Come on, you can stand here and you still need a few points? Besides, don't you think this is a good opportunity?" Li Jichen said to the impatient player.
"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Nanshan looked at Li Jichen and asked.
"What he means is that we, as representatives of the players, are participating in this court discussion. Do you think this game will be so boring and let us watch cutscenes here for 2 hours?" Xue Pizi touched his chin and looked.
He said to Nanshan.
"Yes, there is not much time left, so I will keep the story short." Li Jichen said in the group, and the whole group suddenly became quiet.
"According to my analysis, the mission in the second chapter is Wind Rises in Yingchuan. That means, according to the plot, our next target is Zhang Xiu or Cao Cao in Yingchuan."
"Based on the strength comparison of the three parties, we can basically exclude players from the Han camp from directly participating in the initial conflict."
"So, I think the Han Emperor's idea was to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and let Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu fight first. After one side is defeated, it's time for our Han camp to join the war."
"At this time, if we players are allowed to participate, it is very likely that we will be given some hidden tasks." Li Jichen analyzed.
"What? Hidden mission?" When everyone heard Li Jichen's analysis, they were stunned and speechless.
Everyone has gone through nine years of compulsory education, why are you so showy?
"It's settled by then! If there is really a hidden mission, we can each use our own methods! But after we win the mission, don't try to trick each other!"
"Don't worry, do you think everyone is like you?"
"Hey? What do you mean? Want to practice?"
"Okay, what are you arguing about? Do you think that a large-scale mission that can affect the national destiny of the Han Dynasty can only be hidden by one person?" Li Jichen looked at the two people who were about to start training and said quickly.
He didn't want the players to cause chaos at this time and make the emperor unhappy. Wouldn't he also suffer the same?
"Have you forgotten? This game was introduced at the beginning. If the results of all tasks and plots are different, then the outcome of the development of things will be different. In other words, it is an open ending."
"A battle that can affect the fate of the country, do you think it is that simple? Ancient people relied on a variety of strategies when fighting. They were embarrassed to say that they were leading troops even if they did not know the art of war."
"Also, why do you think the game requires the top ten players to participate in the court meeting this time? Is it to watch a show? So, I think everyone should have a task."
"And these tasks will directly affect the outcome of this battle." Li Jichen said angrily.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Li Jichen's analysis.
No wonder Li Jichen is able to rise rapidly in the business world. With his IQ and analytical skills, he deserves to be rich.
"Boss Jichen, what do you think we should do?" At this time, a player asked.
"Wait." Li Jichen spit out one word.
"Wait?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Yes, wait until the cutscene is over and the emperor gives us the task." Li Jichen nodded, and then continued: "After receiving the task, we will analyze it, see how difficult everyone's tasks are, and then rank them.
Let’s support each other.”
"Please pay attention to one thing. Although this is a game, this game is different from the ones we played before. Failure of the mission here will directly affect the ending of the story."
"So, we players must be very cautious when dealing with plot missions, and everyone must help each other."
"Because the current Emperor of Han is still the weakest among all the princes. If the Emperor of Han is captured or killed due to the failure of the mission, I feel that we players will also be affected."
