269 Emergency, escort food and grass
In ten days, the small-scale merger war launched by the Alliance Village of Xiaobai Town under the pretext of "joint combat exercises", basically ended. Within the area of more than 200 miles of small river, more than 100 powerful villages became allies of Xiaobai Town. Most of the other small and medium-sized villages also maintained good relations with Xiaobai Town.
The large-scale village circle, trade circle, and military alliance circle with Xiaobai Town as the core has been initially formed. What is left to be done is to consolidate this circle as soon as possible and digest the results.
However, several problems were also found during this exercise.
Zhan Xiaobai held a meeting of high-level players within Xiaobai Town, mainly attended by elders and legion commanders, summarizing the major issues found in this "joint combat exercise".
Qiu Shuidao: "In this exercise, based on our observations, we can find that the subordinate/ally villages closely linked to the interests of Xiaobai Town are very hard-working in the exercise. For example, Wutong Village, Moxiao Village, Hubao Village, Zongheng Village, Batu, etc., they all spare no effort. Some ally villages that have little to do with the interests of Xiaobai Town have very average enthusiasm in the exercise. If the commanders of Xiaobai Town did not go to supervise the battle in person, they would probably deal with the matter.
However, I think this exercise is for Xiaobai Town, not for the interests of their own villages. As the saying goes, "no early rise without profit". It is understandable that their enthusiasm is not high. There is no need to blame them. The important thing is to start with their own side.
Now it's just a small trial exercise, so there's not a big problem. If Xiaobai Town still had problems in the life-and-death battle with other powerful forces and was dragged back by the ally village, it would be troublesome."
Jianba nodded and said, "Yes. The purpose of this exercise is to increase the ally villages, rather than to seize the wealth of hostile villages. Even my Xiaobai Town cannot get direct wealth in this exercise, and it only strengthens our sphere of influence."
A Fei said: "Robbery, the money comes the fastest. But the elder brother won't let go! Why don't we choose a few villages to grab it? If we make a fortune, everyone will have a share!"
The commanders of the legions laughed and praised the idea for a good idea. They started urging them to find a village to grab it, while looking at Zhan Xiaobai's expression.
Zhan Xiaobai smiled and ignored their nonsense. Which of these guys is not a gangster or a bandit? I don’t know how many villages and players he robbed on his back, but he just pretended that he didn’t know.
He would never agree to openly robbing other villages. Some things that are done behind the ground must not be placed on the table, nor can they be made public.
He summarized and said, "After all, there is a problem in the distribution of interests! It is not enough for Xiaobai Town to benefit only. This cannot last long. There will be big problems if it takes a long time. In the future, military operations must allow our villages and allies to share the benefits. After we win the battle, they can also share some of the benefits after the victory, so that they will be more proactive and actively support us. As for how to do it, everyone needs to plan carefully..."
......
On February 1, 185, the governor Geng Bi led the government troops of the six counties of Liangzhou, and was fighting against the Qiang rebels. Both sides fought a mess at the border between Wuwei County and Jincheng County.
Xiaobai Town has just finished its first joint combat exercise, expanding its power territories in Wuwei County, and is planning the next military action.
But at this time, an unexpected incident disrupted the military deployment of Xiaobai Town.
The NPC messenger under the Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, came to Xiaobai Town and conveyed an emergency order: "Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, has an order. The war in front is tight and the military rations are in urgent need. I specially invited the fifth-rank general Xiaobai to send 500 cavalry soldiers to Wuwei City before noon on February 2 to assist Wuwei officials to escort 20,000 stones of grain from Wuwei City to the border battlefield of Wuwei County, and handed over to the Liangzhou government troops on the border of Wuwei County before February 15."
Zhan Xiaobai frowned slightly. Geng Bi was the governor of Liangzhou. He could mobilize the troops of his prefecture and county, but he also had the right to recruit the troops of Xiaobai Town.
Now Geng Bi "invited" Xiaobai Town to escort the food and grass, but he was afraid that the front-line war would be very embarrassed and could not draw enough troops to escort them, so he could only borrow some troops from Xiaobai Town to respond to the emergency. Moreover, the number of cavalry escorts of 20,000 stones of food and grass in Xiaobai Town is not enough. There must be other player villages that have taken this task, and the Wuwei government army will send some troops to escort them.
After thinking about it, Zhan Xiaobai decided to take on this task.
Time was urgent, and Zhan Xiaobai did not dare to delay and handed over all the affairs of the town to the elders and the legion commander. He personally sent 500 level 40 Xiliang Iron Cavalry and five NPC generals from the formation, and immediately set off to Wuwei City.
That night, he arrived at Wuwei City. He first met the young heroes of Chunqiu in Wuwei City to understand the situation. The young heroes of Chunqiu were responsible for Xiaobai Town's territory in Wuwei City and had been in Wuwei City for a long time.
The young hero of Spring and Autumn reported the general situation to Zhan Xiaobai.
Then, Zhan Xiaobai went to the prefect's mansion and received the task of escorting food and grass from the prefect of Wuwei.
Escort food and grass mission:
Level 6 escort of food and grass mission (difficulty): Under the order of Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, he worked in the middle of the army in Chengqi, and the captain Pang De, led 1,000 Level 60 Xiliang Iron Cavalry and 2,000 Level 70 Spear and Armored Soldiers to the Wuwei border battlefield. The deadline is: February 2 to February 15. The mission failed and was imprisoned. The mission was successful and several merits were made.
Mission executor: Cheng Qiu, Pang De (npc)
Level 1V5 escorts the food and grass mission (partially difficult): lead 500 Western Liang Iron Cavalry to assist Liangzhou Governor Zhizhong to engage in Chengqiu, and the captain Pang De, escort 20,000 stones of food and grass to the Wuwei border battlefield. The deadline is: February 2 to February 15. If the mission fails, 100 merits will be deducted and 100 gold will be fined. If the mission is successful, 50 merits will be rewarded and 50 gold will be rewarded.
Mission executor: Xiaobai (player).
Level 4 escort food and grass mission (medium): lead 50 NPC soldiers to 500 NPC soldiers to assist Liangzhou governor Zhizhong in Chengqiu, lieutenant Pang De, fifth-rank general Xiaobai, escort 20,000 stones of food and grass to the Wuwei border battlefield, deadline: February 2 to February 15. If the mission fails, 1 to 10 meritorious deeds will be deducted and 1 gold will be fined. If the mission is successful, 1 to 10 meritorious deeds will be rewarded and 1 gold will be rewarded.
Mission executor: xxx, xxx...... (Players in the imperial camp can apply freely).
Zhan Xiaobai looked at the task. His task was at level 1v5, assisting Cheng Qiu and Pang De in escorting food. At this level, he is only a player.
100 gold means 1,000 silver (1 silver = 1 sprig of copper). Once the task fails, the punishment is not light. However, if it succeeds, the reward of 50 gold is quite generous.
The only thing I worry about is that I am afraid that the escort of food and grass will not be so easy.
What is food and grass? It’s fat, which is the strategic material that everyone needs! Who is not jealous of seeing it? Not to mention the enemy, it’s just the player village along the way. Wouldn’t they be moved?
Although most of the villages in Wuwei County are villages of the imperial camp, players nowadays do not have much concern. The food and grass of up to 20,000 stones are enough to make a normal person crazy. It is their own to grab it, and if they don’t grab it, they are someone else’s. How can players not be crazy? Once they get crazy, they will also grab the food of the imperial court.
Now it is on the verge of troubled times. The Liangzhou government army and the Qiang people are too busy fighting, and their influence has been greatly weakened. It is really up to speak by strength. If the government army wants to transport food to the battlefield, it must rely on sufficient troops.
The reason why Zhan Xiaobai dared to take on this task is because Pang De was included.
Pang De, Ma Teng's confidant general, and the super heavyweight of the Ma family army, are no less brave than Guan Yu. With this NPC leader, plus 1,000 Level 60 Xiliang Iron Cavalry and 3,000 Level 70 Spear and Armored Soldiers, this escort mission is still very successful.
If it weren't for Pang De, just a waste official Cheng Qiu who only knows how to make money and embezzle, Zhan Xiaobai would not want to participate in this mess.
After receiving the mission, at noon the next day, a huge grain team and escorts set off from Wuwei City.
The baggage truck: transported 40 stones per vehicle, and the speed was slow.
A total of 500 supplies were reprinted with food and grass. Under the escort of a large group of troops, the wheels set out towards Jincheng. The leader was Cheng Qiu, who was Geng Bi's confidant. This time, he received the task of escorting food and grass. He was quite energetic and kept giving orders to the supplies and escorts. Cheng Qiu shouted at the NPCs and other players, but he did not dare to run to command Zhan Xiaobai. In terms of official title, Zhan Xiaobai was still the highest in the entire team. Cheng Qiu was still a long way off. Therefore, Zhan Xiaobai's actions were not restricted by others.
Pang De, with unknown level and unknown strength, wearing samurai armor, looks silent and capable on the outside, very cold and calm. He rode a good horse, and was with 1,000 level 60 Xiliang iron cavalry, and was not close to the range ball. Obviously, he had no good feelings for this range ball. As for how powerful he is, it is impossible to see on the surface.
Zhan Xiao's white-collar worker's 500 Level 40 Xiliang Iron Cavalry were escorted with the team on the right wing of the baggage convoy. Also Xiliang Iron Cavalry, his cavalry was 20 levels less than the government cavalry.
In addition to Zhan Xiaobai, more than 30 powerful players were required to receive food and grass missions, and brought more than 2,500 NPC soldiers to escort food and grass. The total force of escort food and grass reached 7,500, not too many, nor was it less. Moreover, there is one super historical general, 1,000 level 60 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and 3,000 level 70 Ghost Sword and Armored Soldiers, which are even more deadly. Killing ordinary players is probably the same as killing ants.
If the player wants to rob the village, then consider whether he can eat this army first. One village will definitely not have the appetite. Ten villages are not good, all the people will be trapped in, and it will be useless to grab them if they grab them. At least a hundred villages will be able to act together, and it is estimated that there is a possibility of success.
Zhan Xiaobai asked Cheng Jian, Wang Qian and others led the cavalry team, and he rode a horse to the government army to find Pang De and ask about escorting food and grass.
Zhan Xiaobai said: "Captain Pang De, I wonder if our army can safely transport food and grass to the border of Wuwei County?"
Pang De said calmly: "I dare not, sir, as far as the officials know, this trip is afraid that this trip is not optimistic. In addition to the bandits along the way, there may be Qiang rebels who have heard the news, bypass the front line, ambush and intercept our army's food and grass... Besides, the leader of the team escorts the food and grass was Cheng Qiu. Humph, sir, this person's ability to make money has long been heard!"
Pang De looked at Cheng Qiu in the distance coldly, showing a hint of imperceptible sneer. While speaking, he held the sharp blade on his waist tightly.
"Oh, I know a little bit about Cheng Qiu!"
Zhan Xiaobai nodded, and looked back at the shouting Cheng Qiu and Liang team, thinking about Pang De's words. He didn't pay attention for a moment and missed Pang De's small move.
Zhan Xiaobai was secretly worried. From here to the border of Wuwei, there were at least ten thieves along the way, and they were all large thieves occupied by thousands or even tens of thousands of NPCs. There were also ambushes from Qiang rebels with unknown whereabouts, and many players' villages that were ready to move. This escort mission is of little danger and is absolutely not optimistic.
Even with Pang De, a super historical general, I am afraid he will be unable to compete with so many opponents.
Zhan Xiaobai made up his mind to never lose his 500 cavalry. If Pang De can resist in front, he will stay. He can't stand it, and he will lead the team to flash people immediately. Even if the mission fails, he will lose at most 100 merits and 100 gold. His 500 Xiliang Iron Cavalry is worth at least 8,000 jin, which is unworthy.
After Zhan Xiaobai made up his mind, he said goodbye to Pang De.
He greeted the more than thirty players who took the mission and discussed with them how to escort food and grass. These more than thirty players are quite powerful in Wuwei County, including village chiefs and independent players.
After all, everyone is a player, and players have the rules and tacit understanding of the game. Everyone discusses assigning tasks, and each is responsible for different contents: path exploration, escort, pioneer, poster, clearing traps and other obstacles, etc., so as not to be messy and messy, which is good for completing collective tasks.
Zhan Xiaobai has the highest reputation and the strongest strength. Under his coordination, the players assigned escort missions.
