Most of the NPCs in Henan's Yin Region had been moved away by Dong Zhuo. Although the region was not completely deserted, it was still empty. This situation was even more typical than in the game in his previous life. Yang Rui's activities around Luoyang had also greatly stimulated the NPCs.
After Dong Zhuo's rebellion in his previous life, Luoyang's Royal City was almost abandoned. However, Henan's Yin Region, including Luoyang's Royal City, had become a player's paradise. For the time being, there were almost no NPC forces in this region. There were also no NPCs fighting for various resources. Therefore, players were like fish in water.
The only regret was that most of the NPCs in this region had been taken away by Dong Zhuo. Players did not have the authority to control the city. As a result, all the functions of the county and other small cities were temporarily shut down. In his previous life, players did not develop a territory of the level of a city. This caused a lot of inconvenience for players.
At this time, Trace Dragon Soul suggested that Yang Rui help to settle down a few county magistrates. If he succeeded, it would be equivalent to obtaining the jurisdiction of the relevant county. This way, the functions of the city would not be restricted.
Moreover, almost all the NPCs in the area had been moved away. Obtaining the jurisdiction of a county was equivalent to obtaining a pure player's city. It would save players a lot of time and effort to develop their territory from a village to a city. It was extremely beneficial.
Although there were still many differences between the system's cities and the territories that players developed themselves, in name, there was only jurisdiction and no ownership. However, as the game's plot progressed, the form of feudal separatism was almost destined as long as the jurisdiction of the city was controlled. As long as the city was controlled, it did not matter much whether they had ownership or not.
The most important thing was … A system county's city also had a large area of jurisdiction. It was definitely bigger than a player's city. In terms of resources, it was much more abundant than a player's city. It could be said that Trace Dragon Soul had a good plan. If Yang Rui did not already have Big Mountain City and become the Governor of Qing Province, he would have been tempted.
Originally, Yang Rui could have tried to cooperate with Trace Dragon Soul and the others. However, when he returned to Big Mountain City this time, Yang Rui discovered some new things. Large player organizations, including Dragon Soul and Starlight, were preparing to harm Big Mountain City. Therefore, he was not interested in cooperating with Yang Rui. To create a powerful opponent for himself!
"Boss Trace, that's a good plan. However, this matter is very difficult. It's not that I don't want to help. In fact, it's very difficult for me to even obtain a city. With such a good thing happening, I'm sure everyone has their own ideas!
However, Boss Rose was also a sensible person. Think about it. Now that Liu Xie was under Dong Zhuo's control, Dong Zhuo would definitely not let anyone who opposed Dong Zhuo become the County Magistrate of a county in Henan Province. Dong Zhuo would definitely not allow anyone who opposed Dong Zhuo to become the County Magistrate of a county in Henan Province. This would be very disadvantageous for him. Therefore, even if they submitted a memorial to the emperor, it would be very difficult to achieve results.
On the other hand, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the others definitely wouldn't allow my forces to grow. Currently, several major player organizations have chosen to side with me. Although we are aware of our relationship, in the eyes of Yuan Shao and the others, the benefits obtained by your organizations are almost the same as mine.
Moreover, I don't have much of a relationship with Yuan Shao and the others, as well as Dong Zhuo. I'm afraid it's very unrealistic for me to get a position in a county! Therefore, if Boss Rose is here to talk about cooperation in the storyline, I'm very happy to do so. Our cooperation can be considered smooth. If you're only here to obtain a county, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed … "
Yang Rui analyzed the situation to Rose in detail. Although he didn't want to get involved in this matter from the bottom of his heart, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he seemed to "reasonably" reject the other party's proposal.
Rose listened to Yang Rui's analysis and nodded repeatedly. It was unknown whether she had truly accepted Yang Rui's point of view or if she had other considerations.
"Scorching Sun's words are very reasonable. I have to admit that we have been too naive in some aspects. This game can be said to be closer to reality. We still underestimated the role of the game's NPCs.
On the other hand, Scorching Sun's considerations are very comprehensive. To a large extent, he has integrated into the background of the game. Perhaps this is the reason why Scorching Sun can be so successful. Rose and Scorching Sun have been in contact for a long time. If there's a chance in the future, I hope that Scorching Sun can give Rose more pointers in this regard! "
Rose said after thinking for a while. While she agreed with Yang Rui's words, she also praised Yang Rui indirectly.
"Although there are great difficulties in this matter, I've been entrusted to Trace Dragon Soul and a few other bosses. If there's a chance, I hope that Scorching Sun can give it a try. Perhaps with Scorching Sun's status and influence, he might be able to negotiate for a county or two. Hehe.
As for the conditions promised by Trace Dragon Soul, Scorching Sun doesn't have to be polite. If there's anything he needs, Rose can send someone to pass on a message to him. If there's anything inconvenient, it's fine to send a letter to him … "
Just when Yang Rui thought that Rose would give up, she changed the topic and hypothesized a situation that left a lot of room for negotiation. In response, Yang Rui merely nodded in agreement.
"Scorching Sun mentioned that we would like to continue working together. A few of our player organizations are interested in opening up a business in the Hongnong region. I wonder if Scorching Sun would like to come along?" After the most important matter was discussed, Rose shifted the topic to the current situation.
"It's been more than half a month since Dong Zhuo suddenly attacked Hangu Pass and moved the capital. Even if Dong Zhuo himself has left Hangu Pass in the west, it's been more than ten days. Although the front part of his army has already reached Chang 'an City, Dong Zhuo is still escorting a large number of NPC civilians, so his speed is much slower than normal. Currently, most of the migrating NPCs are still within Hongnong County and haven't made it out of Tong Pass.
Based on the current situation, Dong Zhuo is preparing to defend both Hangu Pass and Tong Pass at the same time. However, as the migrating NPCs gradually move away from Hangu Pass, Dong Zhuo doesn't have many soldiers stationed in the counties west of Hangu Pass. If Scorching Sun is willing to attack the city together with him, I believe that it's not impossible for him to attack the city like he did in Henan!
We players have the same goal for participating in the storyline. Why don't Scorching Sun consider moving to Hongnong County? Haha. "
Rose's words were rather reserved, which suited her personality perfectly. It was obvious that the various player organizations hoped that Yang Rui would attack Hongnong County together with them. Previously, when they were in Luoyang, they had clearly seen Yang Rui's ability to break through defenses. At that time, it was because Yang Rui had opened up the situation that the various player organizations had benefited greatly from.
"I'll consider it, but I still have some matters to deal with in Luoyang. I'm afraid I won't be able to go for the time being. Boss Rose, why don't you return to Hongnong County first? I'll contact you when the time comes."
In fact, just as Rose had said, Yang Rui also planned to turn Hongnong County into a second Henan. However, he would have to wait until after he dealt with the matters in Luoyang. According to Yang Rui's speculation, the heroes who came to take down Dong Zhuo were about to completely disperse. When the time came, they would all return to their respective areas to develop and establish their own independent territories. Yang Rui would also have to make some timely responses.
Moreover, just as Rose had said, Dong Zhuo's main force was still in Hongnong County. It was not the best time to attack yet. Moreover, Yang Rui had other considerations. When the time came, he might not necessarily attack Hongnong County.
"I … won't go. I'll stay with Scorching Sun. Of course, that's if Scorching Sun doesn't object. "
Yang Rui was about to send the guests off, but he didn't expect Rose to say something like this. She even sounded a little apologetic. If he didn't know what was going on, he might have thought of something else!
Even so, Boss Rose's action surprised Yang Rui. He hesitated for a moment before he reacted.
"Did I hear wrongly? Boss Rose wants to continue staying in Heyin County? "
"Yes. I wonder if Scorching Sun agrees?"
"This … There's nothing to disagree about. However, Boss Rose is the boss of a region. If you stay in Heyin, won't your sisters be like a group of dragons without a leader? Moreover, I don't know if Boss Rose has any other plans in Heyin.
If you're just waiting to cooperate with me, there's no need for that. I'll contact you after I'm done here. So, there's not much meaning for Boss Rose to stay here. "
Only then did Yang Rui pay attention to Rose. It could be said that Rose was indeed a gentle beauty, and perhaps because her request was a bit strange, there was a bit of shyness when she spoke. Yang Rui did not care about Rose's identity as a woman, but now he had to think about it.
"Scorching Sun, please don't misunderstand. I'm only staying here to wait for Scorching Sun's reply. At the same time, I want to use your place to complete a mission. I hope I won't disturb Scorching Sun. If it's inconvenient, I'll think of another way. "
"This …"
Although Yang Rui still felt that Rose's explanation was unreliable and somewhat doubtful, he did not probe further.
