For NPCs, generally as long as there are no quests for players to join in the fun, things will always develop in a good direction.
That's roughly it.
Fortunately, the threshold for participating in the bickering between Tian Chou and Gongsun Zan is not low - on the one hand, one needs to have a certain level of reputation in Gongsun Zan or Liu Yu's camp, and the key is that the player's strategy attribute needs to be at least 65 or above.
Gongsun Zan was betrayed by many players, and Liu Yu's group of fanatical female fans who switched over to Zhao Yun obviously preferred thick and big guns.
Ahem.
All in all, this meeting was a complete success as no player interfered or forced the drama.
At least that's what it seems.
"General Gongsun, there are many disturbances this time. Chou will take the first step to deal with the matter on your side..."
"Ahem, cough, cough, sir, please go slowly. This matter is of great importance. I will give you a satisfactory answer after I consider it carefully."
"In this case, I will wait for the general's good news. Farewell, farewell!"
Diplomatic rhetoric is an amazing skill, and the most beautiful thing about it is telling lies with your eyes open without changing your face.
Gongsun Zan was watching Tian Chou leave with a smile on his face and a pleasant expression - no one could have guessed that at this moment, this thick-browed and big-eyed northern man was actually complaining crazily in his heart.
Brother, who are you?
Do I know you well?
Your boss Liu Yu and I are political enemies!
Why should I go with you to clean up your side?
"...Brother? Lord? General?"
"Ah? Oh, what?"
While he was thinking wildly, a call pulled Gongsun Zan back - it was Gongsun Zan's younger brother, Gongsun Fan.
"Brother, uh, he has left."
"I know...Brother Fan, it seems we don't need to worry about Liu Yu's problem."
Gongsun Zan was originally worried that as Yuan Shu said, Liu Yu was using the power of the jade seal to attack him, but if Liu Yu was to say that he wanted to "clear the emperor's side"... it would be in line with his pedantic but loyal character.
The important thing is that the purpose of military training was found - to defeat Li Jue and Guo Si.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with you.
"What? Why? Kill him?"
Gongsun Zan asked this question, which really embarrassed this honest and honest elder brother.
Ahem, Gongsun Fan's military power is acceptable, but he is obviously not a wise and thoughtful character - to be precise, in terms of the attributes of the game, Gongsun Fan is a typical person who can fight...a fool.
"The situation is probably... forget it, as long as you are happy."
Of course, Gongsun Zan’s followers are not just fools like Gongsun Fan.
"Lord, I think it's not that simple at this time."
The speaker was a young scribe.
"National concession?"
Gongsun Zan frowned - the young scribe was not Gongsun Zan's direct subordinate. In fact, this scribe named Tian Yu was originally a guest general under Gongsun Zan's younger brother Liu Bei.
Of course, considering Gongsun Zan's nepotism as a warlord leader, Tian Yu was not valued by Gongsun Zan.
"What? Guorang, what do you think?"
"Lord Mingjian..."
Tian Yu took a step forward, but just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Gongsun Zan with a wave of his hand.
"Very good, great. Thank you Guo Rang for your wonderful speech!"
The clever Gongsun Zan would not listen to such long speeches that opposed his own opinions.
"Let's go, let's go, today is a good day, let's go hunting in Liaodong together, hahaha..."
Behind Gongsun Zan, Tian Yu looked at Gongsun Zan's retreating back and sighed silently.
——————
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
The scene shifts to Yecheng, Yuan Shao's base camp.
With Tian Chou's efforts, the "appeasement" strategy for Gongsun Zan has been implemented, which has given Liu Yu's useless soldiers more training time.
But this is not enough.
Liu Yu needs allies - allies who can fight Gongsun Zan together.
For example, Yuan Shao.
At this time, Wang Yiyuan was dressed in disguise and sitting in a restaurant in Yecheng - opposite was Yuan Shao's mansion.
Wang Yiyuan came here to find a way to connect with his old friend Yuan Shao and persuade him to join him in supporting Liu Yu against Gongsun Zan.
Theoretically, this is feasible - after all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. When they captured Jizhou, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought, and the two had long had a rift. On the other hand, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu had a good relationship, and it was Yuan Shu who was there.
An important ally in the northern alliance against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
There is only one problem now.
[Wanted Mission-Wang Yiyuan]
Task type: General bounty task (can be completed repeatedly)
This person has committed extremely heinous crimes and is cruel. He once secretly kidnapped King Chenliu and fled. If this person is found, all righteous men are asked to kill him on the spot and take his head to various government offices in Jizhou to collect the reward.
Note: This thief is very skilled in martial arts, please be extremely careful, knights.
The red bounty list was posted in the most conspicuous place outside the city gate, and Yuan Shao even thoughtfully marked the price of the bounty on it - a thousand taels of silver, a certain level of friendship, and one piece of any sophisticated equipment.
Considering Wang Yiyuan's combat prowess, the mission rewards are not generous, and are even a bit shabby.
But if you can’t bear it, you can repeat it.
...You are cruel enough, Yuan Benchu.
Just because he upholds justice and rescues little brat Liu Xie from Yuan Shao's clutches, does he need to be wanted across Jizhou? He also posts a reward mission in the most conspicuous place outside the gate of each city?
The dignified fourth generation and the third prince are so stingy.
Tsk, no wonder he lost to Cao Cao.
This is a very embarrassing situation.
Originally, if Wang Yiyuan was visiting publicly as an envoy with Liu Yu's mission, as a diplomatic envoy, Wang Yiyuan could enjoy diplomatic immunity and would not need to be wanted.
But unfortunately, this is another secret mission.
Externally, Wang Yiyuan's visit this time has nothing to do with Liu Yu. He is just looking for Yuan Shao to... er, reminisce about old times.
If you don't have a disguise, you only need to get a little closer to the city, and you will be directly overwhelmed by the massive number of soldiers defending the city, as well as the huge wave of players coming for bounty missions - it's really a good story.
Wang Yiyuan's mission was in a deadlock from the beginning - because of that damn wanted notice, Wang Yiyuan could only hide in this restaurant, lowering his head and pretending to be an innocent drunkard.
The mission goal is very close, but Wang Yiyuan has no choice.
If you want to convince Yuan Shao, you must at least meet him first. If you want to meet a high-level camp leader like Yuan Shao, you need a certain network of contacts in the local area. At least the friendship level in the current camp must not be lower than [Respect].
But obviously, this article is really difficult for Wang Yiyuan, a wanted criminal who has to disguise himself even when approaching Yuan Shao's residence.
Not to mention, the soldiers who are responsible for guarding the mansion have a discerning effect. Although [Change] is overbearing, it is not known whether they can deceive these guards with their own sharp eyes.
