Ouyang Shuo, of course, did not know that the outside world was in turmoil. He calmly checked Sun Wu's personal attributes.
[Name]: Sun Wu (Saint)
[Title]: War Saint
[Dynasty]: Spring and Autumn (Qi)
[Identity]: Principal of Shanhai City Army Martial Arts Hall
[Occupation]: Special General
[Loyalty]: 65 points
[Commander]: 100 [Martial Power]: 75 [Intelligence]: 95 [Politics]: 80
[Specialty]: —
[Classic]: Sun Tzu's Art of War
[Evaluation]: Sun Tzu was from Qi, and his name was Wu. He wrote 13 chapters on the art of war for King Wu Helu. He was a woman and became a general. He defeated Chu in the west, entered Ying, and conquered Qi and Jin in the north. The ancient saying of war, no one came from Sun Tzu. The balance of advantages and disadvantages, the coexistence of the strange and the righteous, the battle, the defense, the attack, the encirclement, there are hundreds of them.
After checking Sun Wu's attributes, Ouyang Shuo was both happy and worried.
As expected of a Saint-level historical figure, Sun Wu's attributes were very strong. He had no shortcomings in any of the four attributes. The [Commander] attribute was a terrifying 100 points.
Unfortunately, Sun Wu only chose to settle in Shanhai City and did not want to become a general. Therefore, he was not subdued. His loyalty was very low, and his specialties could not be displayed. He could not bring any bonus to the territory.
After Sun Wu agreed, Ouyang Shuo immediately established the "Army Martial Arts Hall Preparation Committee" to be responsible for the construction of the Army Martial Arts Hall.
The entire preparation work was divided into two parts. One was the construction of the hardware facilities, and the other was the construction of the software facilities.
Needless to say, the hardware facilities were the construction of the campus. Because of the experience of building the Southwest University China Martial Arts Hall, Ouyang Shuo was reassured to hand over this work to the Construction Department and the School of Architecture.
The only difficulty was that the construction of the Army Martial Arts Hall coincided with the construction of the outer city wall. Ouyang Shuo could only reluctantly give up and instructed the Construction Department to make the construction of the Army Martial Arts Hall their first priority.
The software facilities were more complicated. The first thing was the construction of a teaching staff. The entire Army Martial Arts Hall could not be supported by Sun Wu alone. They needed a strong team of instructors.
The Army Martial Arts Hall had four sections: infantry, cavalry, engineers, and logistics. Each section needed a section chief. Topography, city construction, weaponry, military system, hygiene, and other military courses also required corresponding instructors. There were also basic courses such as Chinese, ethics, machinery drawing, arithmetic, history and geography, infantry drill, and service orders that also required instructors.
Sun Wu was the principal of the Military Force Lecture Hall. At the same time, he was also the section chief of the Infantry Division. He was responsible for teaching weaponry and military tactics. The Divine Strategy Battalion's Battalion Commander, Wang Yuanfeng, was relieved of his post and became the Chief of the Engineering Department, responsible for teaching the basics of Tool Drawing.
After Wang Yuanfeng was transferred out of the Divine Strategy Battalion, Ouyang Shuo removed the Divine Strategy Battalion's independent organization and transferred it to the city guard division, becoming a direct subordinate force of the city guard division.
Core member of the [Falling Moon Society] — Cartographer Nine-dash Line, as a topographical instructor; Elder Qian, the deputy director of the official medical bureau, as a hygiene instructor.
Instructors for the four basic courses of Chinese, Ethics, Arithmetic, and History and Geography were recruited from Southwest University China Hall. The instructors of the two basic courses, infantry drill and military service orders, were selected from the special forces members who had been eliminated. They had received strict infantry drill and military service training in the recruit camp in the western suburbs.
The two vacant section chiefs and many instructors could only be recruited from the outside. Ouyang Shuo was also reluctant to transfer too many active generals to the Army Martial Arts Hall.
Ouyang Shuo informed the various Royal City offices and ordered them to spread the news that the War Sage Sun Wu had established the Army Martial Arts Hall in Shanhai City. This was to attract talents and talents to join the Army Martial Arts Hall.
In addition, Sun Wu also used his great influence as a military grandmaster to gather military scholars to work in the Army Martial Arts Hall through special channels. After all, Sun Wu's original intention was not to train generals for Shanhai City, but to study the military theory and carry it forward.
Other than the team of instructors, Ouyang Shuo gave Sun Wu full authority to design the school system, curriculum, and a series of other tasks.
The establishment of the Army Martial Arts Hall tempted Jiang Shang. Using the opportunity of chatting with Sun Wu, he would give some of his opinions and suggestions from time to time.
With Jiang Shang and Sun Wu taking the lead, Ouyang Shuo naturally wouldn't display his slight skill in front of an expert.
On the other hand, Ouyang Shuo contacted Black Mamba, the leader of the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group, and invited him to send some members to work in the Army Martial Arts Hall.
After receiving Ouyang Shuo's invitation, Black Mamba couldn't help but sigh. As expected of the most troublesome territory in the China region. The Special Forces hadn't even taken shape yet, but he had already established the Army Martial Arts Hall.
Although Black Mamba was emotional, he was still very tempted by Ouyang Shuo's proposal. Not to mention the generous rewards that Ouyang Shuo promised, many people were willing to work in the Army Martial Arts Hall just for the sake of the War Sage Sun Wu.
The cooperation between Shanhai City and the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group began to enter the honeymoon period.
With Shanhai City's deep foundation, the framework of the Army Martial Arts Hall was finally set up. Ouyang Shuo didn't ask about the rest of the work and left it to the Preparatory Committee.
Ouyang Shuo's gaze shifted to the other territory lords in the Lianzhou Basin.
With the establishment of the Tianfeng Prefecture, the 20 small territory lords in the west of the Lianzhou Basin were in an awkward situation.
The Tianfeng Prefecture's jurisdiction extended to the Central Wilderness in the north, Guangshui County in the east, the Evernight Forest in the south, and the Sila Lake in the west.
In fact, more than half of the territory under the jurisdiction of the Tianfeng Prefecture didn't belong to the Mountain Sea Territory. The territory sandwiched between Tianfeng City, Evernight County, and Guangshui County was occupied by more than 20 territory lords.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo's actions were extremely overbearing, like a dove occupying a magpie's nest.
Under Ouyang Shuo's instructions, the First Division, which was stationed in the Western Barracks of the city, launched a series of operations to suppress bandits in the territory of the Tianfeng Prefecture, announcing that the area was now under the jurisdiction of the Mountain Sea Territory.
On the other hand, it was really strange that the First Division turned a blind eye to the territory of the players under its jurisdiction.
For a moment, the territory lords were in a dilemma.
If they fought, they couldn't defeat them. If they fled, they couldn't bear to give up the territory they had painstakingly built up.
The strange behavior of the First Division gave the territory lords a glimmer of hope. Perhaps the Marquis of Lianzhou was magnanimous and didn't intend to use force against them?!
Of course, the territory lords knew that this was just the thinking of an ostrich.
The First Division didn't use force against these territories, but as long as it was a territory bordering the Mountain Sea Territory, they wouldn't be so polite and would annihilate it easily.
Therefore, when the Mountain Sea City was promoted again, it would be the time for them to suffer.
It wasn't that Ouyang Shuo didn't know the dilemma of the territory lords.
After the reorganization of the First Division was completed, he planned to completely solve the problem of the territory of the players in the west.
According to the opinion of the First Division's commander, Shi Wansui, they should be completely wiped out to avoid future troubles.
As a territory lord, Ouyang Shuo couldn't give up the strategy of "breeding parasites" that he had previously formulated just for a moment of pleasure. After all, the population limit of a first-grade county city was 500,000. After it was promoted to a second-grade county city, it was unknown how much the population limit would increase. Relying on the spawning of refugees was really not enough to satisfy Ouyang Shuo's appetite.
The wool comes from the sheep's back. These players' territories were the best breeding grounds for the population.
However, after the establishment of the Tianfeng Prefecture, Ouyang Shuo couldn't tolerate these territories having their own army. If he didn't care about anything and let things run their own course, they would be a bunch of ticking time bombs.
The previous surprise attack on Evernight Town was a wake-up call for Ouyang Shuo. At the end of the day, they were the territory lords. No territory lord was willing to sit still and wait for death. A cornered dog would jump over a wall.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ouyang Shuo thought of a solution.
On the 12th of December, 23 territory lords in the western part of the Lianzhou Basin received an invitation from the Marquis of Lianzhou, He Wuyi. He invited them to Shanhai City on the morning of the 15th to discuss important matters.
The invitation also vaguely mentioned that if any territory lord didn't come to Shanhai City on that day, it would mean that they looked down on the Marquis of Lianzhou, and the First Division of Shanhai City would personally visit their territory.
This strongly worded invitation caused a huge uproar in the western region.
The territory lords were in awe and trepidation. They didn't know what the Marquis of Lianzhou was going to do. Could it be that he was going to secretly ambush them and kill them?!
In their eyes, this was a Feast at Hongmen through and through.
What made them helpless was that even if they knew it was a Feast at Hongmen, they didn't dare to not attend. The threat of the First Division was real, and they couldn't ignore it.
On the contrary, some of the territory lords felt a lot more at ease. In their opinion, instead of hanging around like this, it was better to make things clear and come up with a plan. Even if they were to die, they should die in peace. That way, they wouldn't have to live in fear and worry all day long.
There were also some territory lords who were indignant and exposed the contents of the invitation on the forum, causing another wave of uproar.
The players of the China region became excited.
A few days ago, Shanhai City had just made a big move, and they didn't expect it to create another big news. The players had different opinions, and there were all kinds of comments.
"The Marquis of Lianzhou has shown his ambition to dominate Lianzhou!!!!"
"He Wuyi is a bandit. He doesn't deserve to be the player representative of the China region!!!!"
"The Marquis of Lianzhou has subdued all the territory lords with a single word. The king's domineering aura is beginning to show!!!!"
"China advocates using virtue to subdue people. It's not the behavior of a gentleman to use force to suppress people without clothes!!!"
"The Marquis of Lianzhou has suddenly shown his sword. A storm is coming in the China region, and a drastic change is coming!!!!"
"Using force to bully the weak, he's a real villain. If he's so capable, go and fight the foreigners!!!!"
"The weak are prey to the strong. It's the law of the jungle. How can he be without clothes? We support you!!!"
"How can he be without clothes? Everyone has the right to punish him!!!!"
…
In addition to making comments, some players also wrote long posts on the forum, analyzing the deeper meaning behind the invitation. Among them, Bai Xiaosheng's post was the most profound and almost hit the nail on the head.
Bai Xiaosheng predicted that as the only county-level territory in the world, How Wuyi unexpectedly chose to solve the problem through negotiation when he had the ability to annihilate the surrounding territories. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the problem.
He predicted that after the territory was promoted to a county-level city, some new changes must have happened. The most likely change was a sharp increase in the population. Otherwise, How Wuyi wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.
Bai Xiaosheng even asserted that after the food crisis, the population would become the next target of contention for the various territory lords. A chaotic period of war was about to begin.
Bai Xiaosheng's prediction caused a wave of uproar in the forum. Some adventure-type players even vowed that the spring of adventure-type players was about to arrive. (To be continued.)
