According to Qiao Mao's introduction, Yang Rui also had a rough understanding of Yuan Shao's ability to forge documents and official seals. It turned out that although these fake documents could temporarily occupy a city, they would lose their effectiveness in front of the official Han Dynasty.
Chapter 2
After Yang Rui asked Qiao Mao, he found out that these fake documents and official seals were only effective for five years. They could only be forged twice in the same territory. In other words, this method could only allow one to control a city for ten game years. After this period, they would lose their effectiveness as well.
This characteristic satisfied Yang Rui's thoughts. When Qiao Mao first mentioned the fake documents and official seals, Yang Rui already had an idea. If the Feudal Lords were to divide their forces to defend Henan Yin County, they could transfer the control of the city to Dragon Soul and other Player organizations.
Dragon Soul and other Player organizations had already seen the huge value of Henan Yin County. They had even asked Rose to ask Yang Rui for help to gain control of one or two counties. This was originally a very troublesome matter, but now that Yuan Shao proposed to divide the Feudal Lords to defend Henan Yin County, this matter became much simpler.
If this was done properly, Yang Rui could very likely obtain benefits from both Yuan Shao and the Player organizations. Even if this method would greatly increase the strength of the Player organizations, as long as Dragon Soul and other Player organizations were willing to pay a sufficient price, Yang Rui could help them. Moreover, there were still many hidden dangers in using fake documents and official seals to take over the city.
"Governor Qiao Mao, you need not worry too much. Although you and I are not neighbors, you are not far from my Dashan City and Governor Dingyuan's Taishan County. Thus, your safety is also greatly involved with us. Therefore, as long as Blazing Sun has the strength to do it. I will definitely not sit by and watch Governor Qiao Mao's life be harmed! "
After discussing the internal situation of the Hero Alliance with Qiao Mao, Qiao Mao finally spoke. Yang Rui finally expressed his stance.
During the discussion, Yang Rui also discovered that although he had clearly expressed his support, Qiao Mao still seemed to be anxious. He tried several times to understand the bottom line of Yang Rui's support and hurriedly hinted at Yang Rui to make some effective promises. Thus, Yang Rui made a promise.
Just as Qiao Mao had said, Yuan Shao and Liu Dai's ambitions were not small. They wanted to annex Ji Province, and they also wanted to take over Dong County, Jibei Country, and even Bing Province and Hanoi County. Of course, this included Yang Rui's Qing County. Of course, Yang Rui would not allow him to expand his territory so easily, so he made a clear promise that while helping Qiao Mao, he would also prevent Yuan Shao and Liu Dai from expanding their forces.
"Qiao Mao thanks Blazing Sun for your help!" After hearing Yang Rui's words, Qiao Mao suddenly stood up and bowed deeply. Then, he made a request. "Qiao Mao has a presumptuous request. How about we sign an alliance agreement?"
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, Dong County Governor Qiao Mao has proposed to sign an alliance agreement. Do you accept? Please choose!
Since the Dong County Governor is the one who proposed the alliance agreement, you can check his subordinates and territory information. You can decide if you want to sign the alliance agreement. At the same time, you can choose up to three additional conditions as the conditions of the alliance agreement. You can also negotiate other conditions.
(Attached) Information of Qiao Mao's Territory:
Name of Territory: Dong County
Number of Counties: 15
Number of Cities: 23
Number of Liegeman: 60 million
Degree of Population: Below Average
.....
(Attached) Additional Conditions of Alliance Agreement:
1. Dong County Governor Qiao Mao will give 1 million gold coins to Blazing Sun every year.
2. Dong County Governor Qiao Mao will give 100 beautiful women to Blazing Sun every year.
3. Dong County Governor Qiao Mao will give 500 units of food to Blazing Sun every year.
4. Dong County Governor Qiao Mao will give 1000 units of wood to Blazing Sun every year.
.....”
The sudden System Notification surprised Yang Rui. Yang Rui never thought that there was such a thing as an "alliance agreement". This was also the first time he saw an alliance agreement that came with additional information and conditions.
Looking at the information revealed by the system notification, it was indeed very honest. The territory, population, development level, and other information were all displayed very clearly. Furthermore, the additional conditions of the agreement were also very plentiful. There were a total of seven or eight conditions. At first glance, there was no lack of money, beautiful women, and so on. It seemed that Governor Qiao Mao was indeed very sincere!
"There's no need to stand on ceremony, Prefect Qiao Mao. The alliance agreement is a matter of mutual consent. Prefect Qiao Mao should keep the various resources such as money, rations, and wood to strengthen your own strength. As for the other items, Lie Yang will not take any.
Only Qing Province is remote and lacks talents. If Dong County can provide some support in this area, it would be the best. "
In the end, Yang Rui did not choose any of the conditions. Instead, he proposed another condition to Qiao Mao. Qiao Mao would provide 100 talents in internal affairs and 1000 high-level life professions to Yang Rui every year. Among them, there would be at least one who was a level 3 historical figure or above. After a proper discussion, Yang Rui and Prefect Qiao Mao signed the alliance agreement.
Even if it involved the provision of a historical figure, this condition was not difficult to achieve for Dong County, which had a population of more than 60 million people. Since the alliance agreement could have additional conditions, Yang Rui only proposed these two conditions. The population of Dong County was almost 4 times that of Beihai County. To be honest, Yang Rui was very envious.
Yang Rui did not lack money, food, and other basic resources. As for the beautiful women, Yang Rui would not choose them.
Speaking of this topic, someone in the game's built-in forum had already revealed that male and female players could achieve the same experience and feelings in the game as in real life without any loss to each other. This undoubtedly greatly expanded the freedom of the players in certain aspects. It even caused a debate about ethics.
Yang Rui did not pay much attention to this, but he knew this very well. In his previous life, this topic was very popular in the game. However, no matter if it was in his previous life or this life, he had never heard of a player having a similar experience with an NPC.
"Thank you for your understanding, Governor Blazing Sun!"
Qiao Mao bowed again and thanked him. It was currently a famine period in the game. Even if Dong County had some savings, the situation would not be much better. Basic resources such as food were still very scarce. Yang Rui did not ask for food, which reduced the burden on Qiao Mao.
In truth, if one side took the initiative to propose an alliance agreement and had to rely on the other side to a large extent, they would definitely suffer a lot. In Qiao Mao's opinion, Yang Rui's conditions were already very reasonable.
"Since we have formed an alliance, what do you plan to do next, Governor of Lieyang Province? I can also cooperate. "
Qiao Mao asked very humbly. Being able to form an alliance with Yang Rui, Qiao Mao felt that his safety was guaranteed. Therefore, his attitude towards Yang Rui was naturally different.
"I will naturally wait for an opportunity to continue the crusade against Dong Zhuo. However, with the current situation, it is very likely that the alliance will not be able to continue. Sun Jian has already left, and the other feudal lords have also secretly decided to leave. The Anti-Dong Alliance might fall apart very soon. Governor Qiao Mao needs to think of a way out first. When the time is right, it is best to leave this place as soon as possible." Yang Rui advised.
"Governor Blazing Sun's words are very true. The feudal lords have indeed had the intention to leave long ago. Previously, because of the restrictions, they did not leave. I, Qiao Mao, was also threatened by Liu Dai. I am afraid that if I leave now, the other party will find an excuse.
Now that I have formed an alliance with Blazing Sun, I no longer need to fear Liu Dai's strength. If Governor Blazing Sun does not need Qiao Mao's support, I will find a suitable opportunity to leave this place as soon as possible. At that time, I will still need Governor Blazing Sun's protection.
However, I do not know how to deal with Alliance Master Yuan Shao's suggestion of splitting the army to guard Henan's Yin County. I wonder what Governor Blazing Sun's opinion is? "
Qiao Mao naturally agreed to Yang Rui's suggestion. However, he still had some doubts about Yuan Shao's suggestion of splitting the army to guard Henan's Yin County. He did not know how to deal with it. Clearly, Qiao Mao was still very afraid of Yuan Shao's strength.
"If you can't avoid this matter, Governor Qiao Mao can agree first. You can use this as an excuse to return to the East Province to transfer troops and transport supplies. As for how to deal with it after agreeing, Governor Qiao Mao can give the forged documents and official seals to Blazing Sun to deal with it! "Yang Rui replied after thinking for a while.
Since he had the intention to do business with the various player organizations, getting one or two County Cities was the same as getting a few more, Yang Rui might as well just take the forged documents and official seals from the other feudal lords. He believed that Dragon Soul and the other player organizations would not mind having too many Cities!
The number of large-scale player organizations was not limited to Dragon Soul and the other seven or eight. Currently, these players did not have any Cities in their hands. In short, there was no need to worry about these things. At the same time, the other feudal lords would definitely be very willing to give the forged documents and official seals to Yang Rui. To them, if they could get rid of this burden, they would be willing to pay a price.
"Thank you very much, Governor Blazing Sun!"
Sure enough, seeing that Yang Rui had agreed to help him solve the problem of the documents and official seals, Qiao Mao's expression was very grateful. He once again clasped his hands and bowed deeply. Perhaps to Yang Rui, it was just a matter of pushing the boat along the current, but to Qiao Mao, it was a huge burden that had been lifted!
