The emergence of this voice of rules has a huge influence.
The most unacceptable thing among them is that all divine contracts are invalid!
The previous tight and irresistible cooperation, which was bound by contract, has developed deep cracks.
Overnight, the foundations of all the forces were severely impacted, and they retreated back to the four royal cities and prefectures, stopping their expansion.
At this time, rectifying the 'civil strife' has become the top priority of all major forces.
…………
Faced with the sudden change in rules, Shen Zhui, standing on the wall of Chaotian Mansion and looking into the distance, could only sigh as he looked at the city.
His heart is bleeding right now...
He mobilized all his troops and stationed 500,000 troops in Chaotian Mansion. This kind of strength is absolutely unstoppable to Zhenyucheng, even if the opponent is the first in the list of young talents, because this is no longer a situation that can be controlled by personal force.
As long as he can control the second royal city and be promoted to chief concubine, who can stop him from sweeping the world when the real demon clan invades?
The butcher's knife was raised high, but was blocked by a pair of invisible hands.
Shen Zhui simply doubted whether the senior officials of Daxia Academy were deliberately targeting him!
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence! If you don’t come earlier, you won’t come later, but you just show up at this time!
"Sir." Bi Ying's figure appeared on the city wall.
"What's the situation?" Shen Zhui gathered his thoughts and regained his composure. The first priority now is to appease the adventurers and regain his control over them.
Without the constraints of the divine contract, all cooperation becomes a piece of paper.
In the early stages of expansion, some divine contracts were relatively mild.
In the past six months, expansion has accelerated, and there are not so many good things to say. The divine contract signed by the adventurers who were forcibly conquered by force can be called harsh!
Compared with other adventurer forces, Shen Zhui's problem is much bigger because no one is expanding as fast as him.
"Your Majesty, in addition to Daliang Zaoyuntian, Gao Feng, and Lucio, they are stationed at Pingyang, Zhenbei, and Nanshan Pass according to your wishes."
"Twelve of the remaining eighteen Daliang Zao have arrived at Chaotian Mansion and are now waiting for you at the government office."
"Which six people didn't come?" Shen Zhui asked expressionlessly.
"Shui Ling Palace Fang Ruoshui, the grandson of Zhongshan Emperor Li Longji, the three chiefs of the seventy-two tribes in the south, and Daliang Zao Zhang Liang."
Shen Zhui nodded, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.
One-third of the twenty-two Daliangzao under his command rebelled at once, and the Zhenwen human troops controlled by those people reduced the number of troops he could control by at least 150,000!
And it is very likely that these people will also cause trouble in their own rear areas!
Once handled improperly, his early efforts will be greatly weakened.
"Did someone break into the city?" Shen Zhui asked.
"I didn't force my way in, but..." Bi Ying hesitated and said.
"Speak directly if you have something to say."
"In the past seven days, Daliang created Sima Jing and Murong Zeng, and they thought of Chaotian Mansion..."
"Huh, I don't want to give up." Shen Zhui sneered.
Half an hour after the voice of rules appeared, Shen Zhui sealed off Chaotian Mansion in the name of the commander of the carriage and placed Chaotian Mansion under military control.
They also mobilized the imperial army to guard the city gates of Chaotian Mansion. Anyone with an official rank or lower than a junior officer would be deprived of all official titles if he left the city.
Since Shen Zhui is a seventeenth-level chariot commander, this order can transcend all third-level orders to all officials and nobles below fifteenth level, regardless of whether they are Zhenwen humans or adventurers.
Juniors at level 15 can travel, and can even lead the Royal City Forbidden Army and a small number of 'private soldiers' that are rewarded by missions. These Zhenwen humans belong entirely to the adventurer and will not be affected by the orders of the adventurer's nobles.
However, they can leave on their own, but those low-level Zhenwen humans and adventurers cannot take them with them.
Shen Zhui is now extremely lucky that his official title is seventeenth level. If it were still made by Daliang, he would only be able to restrict the right officer who is thirteenth level. This would be a huge loss.
"Where are Lan Chenguang and Jiang Tianming?" Shen pursued.
"General Lan and General Jiang came from Tongmu Mansion at night. One thousand two hundred people had entered the Zhaohai and Longshan Passes outside Chaotian Mansion at midnight."
"Has Bai Liangcai come back?"
"Not yet."
"Twelve hundred people, that's enough." Shen Zhui breathed a sigh of relief.
Lan Chenguang, Jiang Tianming and the three frontier armies did not recruit many people at the beginning, but they strived for excellence. These 1,200 people refer to adventurers who are extremely unlikely to betray even if they do not have a divine contract.
Because they are either members of the three major frontier armies, the local army, or the children of Qingzhou and Jizhou families, they are basically integrated with Lan, Yun, and Zhao, and their loyalty is guaranteed.
Adventurers cannot control Zhenwen humans to kill adventurers, but adventurers can kill adventurers in the wild!
After the accident happened, Shen Zhui immediately mobilized these people to Chaotian Mansion.
Once those young masters who were promoted on their own dared to leave the city, Shen Zhui would dare to kill them!
As for Bai Liangcai, he was sent to Yangzhai City by Shen Zhui.
At this point, Wang Jingwen, the force that Shen Zhui planned to use to disgust Prince Liang's palace, could no longer be allowed to grow moldy in Yangzhai City.
"Let's go with me to meet them!" Shen Zhui took a deep breath, waved his hand, and walked down the city.
…………
The official palace of Chaotian Mansion was built extremely lavishly. The main seat of the Mingtang Hall was built one meter higher than the seats in the left and right rows.
This made the adventurers who were gathering in the hall to discuss had to look up at Shen Zhui when they were talking.
Shen Zhui lowered his head and glanced at the crowd in the main hall. All adventurers of level 15 and above in the city were gathered here.
I have to say that in the past two years, Shen Zhui has expanded very quickly.
The total number of Shaoshangzao and Daliangzao exceeds fifty, excluding the few adventurers stationed in Sanfu. It is not an exaggeration to describe this situation as a plethora of talents.
However, Shen Zhui sighed in his heart. If it had been before, there would have been dozens more people working here.
The atmosphere in the Mingtang was a little subtle at this moment.
Everyone knows what this meeting is about, and they also know their current situation.
Not all those who came to Chaotian Mansion were loyal, they just wanted to see how much benefit they could get from this incident.
But Shen Zhui is still the strongest among the adventurers, so in this meeting called to discuss attacking Zhenxing City, everyone has been thinking about other things, and no one is willing to be the one who stands out and gets slapped. , bring the topic to the rule change.
However, after all, some people can't sit still.
"Everyone, is it not appropriate for us to continue discussing the march into Zhenlu City at this moment?" A tall young man stood up and spoke.
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Shen Zhui glanced at it and said nothing.
"Oh? Let's not talk about pouring the city, what does Master Situ want to talk about?" Bi Ying asked calmly.
Situ Jing glanced at Bi Ying, and immediately snorted coldly, "Brother Bi Ying, we are all adventurers here, so there is no need for you to follow the officialdom of Daxia."
"What I want to say is about this change in rules and the renegotiation of cooperation and alliance!"
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed slightly, and they all became quiet.
"Situ Jing, don't make the mistake!" Bi Ying's face turned cold. "You have reached the rank of Daliang Zao, what else are you dissatisfied with!"
"Haha, what a joke!" Situ Jing laughed. "I am ranked one hundred and seventy-three on the merit list."
"If you hadn't forced me to do so, I would have made a great achievement a few months ago! Even more meritorious!"
"Shen Zhui." Situ Jing suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Zhui. "You prefer one to another, favor others, and call it cooperation, but the benefits are all taken by you, the Wu'an Army! You have to share the tasks I get with others, even this Even a wild bull has more merit than me!"
"What did you say!" A tall figure with a bull's head and a human body beside him was furious. It was Niu Tian of the Bull Demon Tribe.
Niu Tian's physical body was destroyed and he escaped, and his soul was extremely weak after entering the second level. However, this cow was lucky enough to break the chess game and find Shen Zhui when the power of his soul was about to collapse.
Shen recalled his previous friendship, so he used the holy words of medicine to rebuild his body and regain his strength.
Since Niu Tian had convinced several of the foreign leaders when he conquered the seventy-two tribes in the south, Shen Zhui allowed Niu Tian to overtake them all the way and was promoted to a sixteenth-level Daliang Zao.
"Niu Tian, sit down." Shen Zhui waved his hand and said calmly, "Let him continue talking."
"Humph!" Niu Tian snorted coldly and sat down dullly.
Situ Jing sneered: "I accepted it because of the contract before, but now I don't want to play anymore!"
"Who comes to the secret realm for adventure but for higher rewards? It's not my style, Situ Jing, to be subservient to others!"
"The cooperative relationship between me and you ends here, let's go!"
After saying that, Situ Jing waved his sleeves and walked directly out of the Mingtang Hall. Behind him were three young masters, all of whom were close to the Situ family.
"You! You ungrateful thing!"
"I don't know what's good or bad!"
"Without Mr. Shen's help, you would be nothing but a Daliangzao!"
"White-eyed wolf!"
There were waves of curses.
Shen Zhui glanced at the crowd and stretched out his hand to suppress the discussion.
"Who else wants to leave? Tell them all together. After this time, there will be no chance."
Everyone immediately looked at me and me, but no one said a word.
Whether it's to assess the situation or to express gratitude for Shen Zhui's help, most of those who come to Chaotian Mansion want to continue with Shen Zhui.
Furthermore, after the contract disappears, there are many adventurers with lower official titles who want to continue to act with Shen Zhui. This is the influence of being number one on the merit list.
After a while, someone else stood up one by one.
This man has a skinny face and is dressed like a Confucian.
"Murong Zeng, are you dissatisfied with me?" Shen Zhui asked in a deep voice. "You arrived after Situ Jing, but you are ten places higher than him on the merit list. I admit that I have never treated you poorly."
"Sir Shen, I'm not dissatisfied." Murong Zeng shook his head and said, "On the contrary, my lord treats me well."
"Then why are you leaving?"
"If you continue to follow General Shenwei and become the enemy of the whole world, you will offend a large number of people when you get out of the secret realm!"
"Murong Zeng doesn't want to offend others."
"Then are you willing to offend me?" Shen Zhui felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Speaking of which, Murong Zeng had some relationship with Murong Qingxue. She had heard Murong Qingxue mention that this person had been kind to her. Shen Zhui did not point out this relationship, but because of this, he was concerned about Murong Zeng. But he did not expect it. , he betrayed at this critical moment.
Murong Zeng didn't speak, he just bent down and bowed his head.
Seeing this scene, Shen Zhui became even more angry.
Situ Jing and Murong Zeng, there is essentially no difference between the two of them, one is strong and the other is soft.
Even Murong Zeng hurt him even more!
Why did you go there if you didn't want to offend?
However, Shen Zhui quickly calmed down. This matter had the shadow of hostile forces. If it was not handled properly, it would lead to panic and ruin a good situation.
"In that case, you can go. I allow you to lead your men out of the city." Shen Zhui said calmly. "It's just that after today, you and I are enemies."
"Thank you, General Shenwei." Murong Zeng bowed again in a deep voice, and then left with four young superiors.
Two great masters and seven junior masters left in a row, making the atmosphere in the hall a bit gloomy.
Fortunately, Shen Zhui repeatedly asked if anyone wanted to leave, but no one left, which made everyone feel relieved.
…………
In October of the same year, Shen Zhui's ban on closing the city had to be lifted due to the order of the chief concubine Qin Shan.
That afternoon, Daliang Zao Situ Jing led the Zhenwen people and more than 400 adventurers who were willing to follow him out of the city. They were ambushed by Lan Chenguang, Jiang Tianming and others who had been waiting outside the city.
The Zhenwen soldiers on both sides turned a blind eye, as if they couldn't see these battles, and they became phantoms of each other.
Daliang Zao Situ Jing died, and his soul fled. All four young superiors were killed, and the rest fled in all directions, with more than half of them dead or injured.
The next day, Daliang Zao Murong Zeng Shiqu only left the city with a hundred people, while all the Zhenwen soldiers stayed in Chaotian Mansion.
Shen Zhui thought about it again and again, but finally fulfilled his promise and allowed Murong Zeng to leave.
After the top management is stabilized, the next step is to rectify the middle and low-level adventurers in Chaotian Mansion.
After using Lan Chenguang to establish his authority with the 1,200 people of the border army, Shen Zhui established a relatively fair adventurer promotion system, mainly focusing on the allocation of tasks in the main city. And if he did not stay here, the land of three mansions No one inside or outside can get a mission anymore. This is tantamount to using missions to tie up these low- and middle-level adventurers in disguise, tying them to their own chariots.
Since adventurers below level fifteen have no ability to resist Shen Zhui, and Shen Zhui has issued a relatively fair adventurer promotion system.
It is better to follow Shen Zhui, who was born in the army, than to follow those annoying family forces. This is the understanding in the minds of most adventurers.
Until Wang Jingwen of Yangzhai City came with five hundred sword masters and gave the adventurers in Chaotian Mansion another reassurance.
The saying is like this all over the world, and it won't be much better if you go anywhere else. It is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people due to Shen Zhui's deliberate arrangement.
Under the combination of kindness and power, the hearts of adventurers with middle and low-ranking titles gradually stabilized.
…………
Two years and one month later, Shen Zhui regrouped his army and began to clean up the six Daliang Zao who had previously defected, and re-established the order of the Three Prefectures.
From early February of the second year of the second year to June of the second year of the 2nd year, Shuiling Palace Fang Ruoshui, Zhongshan Emperor Li Longji, the three chiefs of the seventy-two tribes in the south, and Daliang Zao Zhang Liang were forced to abandon their original cities. Take the remaining forces and flee to other prefectural cities and the royal city.
…………
At the end of June, Shen Zhui, who was the first to emerge from the "civil strife", began to march into the King Shenxun City.
At the beginning of July, Shen Zhui occupied the two palaces and six city gates outside King Zou's city, trying to complete the mission of the main city before Long Qie and Hai Qing.
In mid-July, Daliang built a dragon and fought fierce battles with Hai Qing and Shen Zhui to compete for the other four city gates.
The fighting lasted until the middle of July, when Daliang Zaoji Chang was promoted to the commander of the carriage, and set out from Luncheng to participate in the competition for the main city mission of the three prefectures and nine passes.
The melee between the three parties lasted until the beginning of August. Wei Tianlong, the leader of Daliang, was promoted to the rank of commander of the chariot, and all 10,000 adventurers under his command moved out in full force, intending to make a profit and devour Shen Zhui, Long Qie, and Ji Chang in one fell swoop.
The three of them had to stop fighting urgently and join forces to deal with Wei Tianlong.
On August 15, the three masters of the Academy Alliance led 8,000 people to rob Wei Tianlong's rear city. Wei Tianlong's sneak attack failed, and there was a fire in the rear, so he had to give up the three-man battle for Zhenxing City and hurried back.
The forces from all four sides ended with Shen Zhui, Long Qie, and Ji Chang each occupying the first three passes of Zhenxing City and stopped fighting.
It was less than four months before the Battle of Liangjieshan.
At this time, earth-shaking changes had taken place on the merit list.
This kind of plot is so difficult...I really made it difficult for myself.
