Chapter 866: Take the initiative
In fact, Ye Xiaowen and Xiao Yuan are not ambitious, at least they didn't think about jumping out of the [Lingyun Palace] and being the boss of the house.
The struggle for power between the two of them stems from their qualifications and the interests of their subordinates.
Ye Xiaowen is a gang veteran, and Xiao Yuan is a subordinate. After Xiao Yuan joined the gang, he gradually divided half of the power from Ye Xiaowen, which damaged the interests of the people around Ye Xiaowen.
And before Xiao Yuan surrendered, he also had a group of subordinates. At first, Jiang Zhuo was all assigned by Jiang Zhuo to go to Lead Mountain to work as miners, but as Xiao Yuan gradually gained Jiang Zhuo's trust, Jiang Zhuo also relented and asked Xiao Yuan to send some people back from his team to act as his henchmen.
It's not okay to have no henchmen, Jiang Zhuo trusts Xiao Yuan's ability, but Xiao Yuan's qualifications are a problem. And Xiao Yuan, as the deputy gang leader, if he speaks in the gang and no one listens, there will be a big problem with the operation of the gang.
But after those teams returned to Xiao Yuan's side, Xiao Yuan also had to consider the interests of his henchmen. If there is no benefit to following you, why should people follow you for hard work?
Therefore, Xiao Yuan and Ye Xiaowen were both pushed by their subordinates, pushing to fight for power, and they couldn't help but choose.
Jiang Zhuo didn't know the details yet, but the struggle for power was to gain profits. This benefit can be the actual benefit of hand, or it can be the pride and sense of accomplishment that comes with prestige.
He decided that after the war, they would no longer divide their responsibilities according to specific affairs, both of them were considered all-rounders, Xiao Yuan's battlefield command was slightly inferior, but he could also be in charge of defense alone.
If the [Lingyun Palace] fails after the war, then of course there is nothing to say. If it wins, [Lingyun Palace] will have the huge Yangzhou, and then it will be necessary to divide power according to the geographical division.
After Jiang Zhuo spoke, Ye Xiaowen and Xiao Yuan also thought about it. Before the meeting, Jiang Zhuo had issued the agenda in advance, and everyone came after careful consideration, and now it is just organizing the wording.
"I think we should still take the initiative to fight, the farther north the battlefield, the more restrained Sun Cejun and [Chop Chi You] will be. There are garrisons of Cao Cao and the [Qingzhou Gang] in Guangling County in the north, and we can send envoys to communicate, and we don't need them to make a move, we just need them to dispatch troops to make an active posture.
We can even negotiate with them to cede Gwangling County to them or give them other territory after the war.
Taking the initiative to attack is also a strategic need, and what we need to do is to eliminate or drive Sun Ce's army out of the south of the Yangtze River. In this case, we can't have too much strategic depth with them, otherwise if we fight a defensive counterattack in Poyang County, they can defend layer by layer when they retreat even if they are defeated, and it will be too risky for us to pursue. ”
Ye Xiaowen took the lead in analyzing that strategic decision-making was his weakness. If you take Xun Yu and Guo Jia as an analogy, he is Guo Jia who is good at battlefield layout, not Xun Yu who sits in the central government.
Xiao Yuan agreed this time, "Take the initiative to attack, although the number of scattered players who are willing to follow us to fight will definitely be greatly reduced, but our [Lingyun Palace] is too impressive to be invincible, and the name of the god of war of the gang leader is also very loud."
Now the Yellow Turban Army is raging on the side of Wu County, and the Yellow Turban Army is a notoriously soft persimmon. During the Yellow Turban Uprising, thousands of officers and soldiers could beat tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers. Most of the players who are willing to follow Sun Ce are definitely willing to go to Wu County rather than come to fight us.
Sun Cejun didn't dare to completely let go of the Yellow Turban Army, so they could only divide their troops. Divide a small force to come to Xindu County to stop us, maybe no more than 10,000 men at most, this will be our opportunity.
As long as these 10,000 people are eliminated, Sun Ce will fall into the dilemma of being overstretched. It's hard to completely defeat the Yellow Turbans, and it's hard to stop us. When the enemy is in a strategic dilemma, it will be easier for us. ”
No one else objected, so Jiang Zhuo made a decision directly.
[Chiyantang] and [Xinnanhua Rudder] were stationed in the Wuyi Mountains and Yongfeng County, and the Lusu army came back to fight with the army.
In one day, Chen Gong recruited troops to supplement the county guards, and selected veterans who had fought the Battle of Yugang plus some recruits to form an army of 4,000. The other armies also had to replenish their troops from the captives, and the [Lingyun Palace] still had more than 9,000 prisoners, which was more than enough to replenish the troops.
If it weren't for the lack of NPC armament, these captives would have been transformed into an army by Jiang Zhuo long ago.
In the end, there were 4,000 people in the [Sword Hall], 6,000 people in the [Yangwei Hall], 2,000 people in the [Special Rudder], 500 people in the cavalry brigade, and 500 people in the navy brigade, adding up to a total of 13,000 players who participated with the army.
In terms of NPC troops, the Lu Su army was added to the scale of 10,000, Chen Gong 4,000 people, Yu Fu 4,000 people, and Wu Anguo 3,000 people, a total of 21,000 troops went out with the army.
[Lingyun Palace] raised an elite army to crusade against Sun Ce in the name of seeking justice for the people of Lujiang County. Cao Cao also made it convenient for the emperor to issue an edict to reprimand Sun Ce for attacking Lujiang for no reason, depriving him of his title and official position, and requiring him to be subordinate to the Yangzhou Assassin Shi.
The Holy Purpose only has a great role in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it plays a great role in the game. Sun Ce's prestige has declined, he has also lost his official position, and he has lost a lot of authority.
If the player joins Sun Ce's camp, it will temporarily become a situation of opposing the imperial court camp. Players who have not joined any camp, and the players who see Sun Ce's camp are still red. The impact of this is serious, and there will be a lot of Yangzhou players who inadvertently participate in the war against Sun Ce's camp, after all, there is no notoriety for killing, and you can also explode equipment, how cool is it?
I'm afraid that equipment hunters from all over the server may come over to play.
In addition, after Sun Ce's authority is reduced, the rewards for issuing tasks to players will not be the military merit and prestige points that are common to the whole server. Instead, it became the same as Jiang Zhuo, who could only issue points, and points could only be exchanged for items in his own camp.
If Sun Ce is so poor that he can't replenish the points warehouse, those points will basically be wasted.
The situation is great!
The next day, Jiang Zhuo personally led the army to the battle, Ye Xiaowen and Xiao Yuan fought with the army, and Lin Fan sat in the rear.
The army left Xihe Town and entered Xindu County. Although these places were conquered by Sun Ce, Sun Ce did not have time to govern, and many officials were still the original officials.
These officials basically surrender to whoever comes to fight, and without the army in hand, they can't compete with anything at all. The officials surrendered, and many players who wanted to make meritorious contributions to Sun Ce became very embarrassed, although there were tens of thousands of people, they were slaughtered in front of the [Lingyun Palace].
Jiang Zhuo was not polite, he had guessed in advance that the township officials were likely to surrender, after all, he had come with a holy decree. So as soon as he came, he ordered the whole army to surround him, and the town pavilion chief did not dare to go out, so he sent an envoy to surrender with the official seal.
As soon as Jiang Zhuo accepted it, the NPC residents and officials in the town all became white-named, and only the tens of thousands of players who joined Sun Ce's camp were left.
"Kill it, kill all the red names!" Jiang Zhuo decided to establish his authority and give a warning to the scattered people in Sun Ce's camp.
The town pavilion chief did not hand over the defense of the gate to the player, and as soon as he surrendered, Xiang Yong, who was defending the town gate, directly opened the town gate. An army pours in and slaughters the Red Player.
In the end, [Lingyun Palace] obtained a small town almost bloodlessly, and only killed 18 soldiers and 72 players, and killed more than 11,000 enemies, which was a lot of gains.
