The map was Jiyuan City.
After teleporting to Jiyuan City, Ouyang Shuo handed over the command of the Imperial Guard Division to Bai Qi. Ouyang Shuo himself only commanded three thousand Featherwood Guards.
This time, the Mountain and Sea Alliance's army was not disorganized like in the previous three battles. Instead, they were all under the command of their respective generals and unified under Bai Qi's command.
Zhang Liao of Lingxi City, Wang Bei of Fallen Phoenix City, Qin Qiong of Xunlong County, and other generals were the best choices.
After registering in the city, the players' troops were arranged to the barracks in the west of the city. Just as the members of the Mountain and Sea Alliance were reorganizing their troops, the battle announcement rang out.
"Battle Announcement: A total of 400 lords participated in the Battle of Giant Deer, with a total of 1244500 troops. The Qin Dynasty has 228 lords, with a total of 7144500 troops. The Anti-Qin Dynasty has 172 lords, with a total of 530000 troops. "
It was an open secret that Shanhai City had chosen the Qin Dynasty's side.
After the previous three battles, the lords of the China server had finally learned their lesson. In the Battle of the Giant Deer, many of the lords of the various territories had chosen to side with the Alliance of Mountains and Seas.
As for the Yanhuang Alliance, they all chose the Anti-Qin Dynasty's side. It was not that the Yanhuang Alliance had made any special arrangements, but with their arrogance, they did not want to serve under Bai Qi.
Both sides were evenly matched, and there was no absolute disadvantage in choosing either side.
Half of the lords who chose the Anti-Qin Dynasty's side wanted to subdue Xiang Yu. Ouyang Shuo could only mourn for these lords. Given the Overlord's personality, how could he be willing to be under someone else?
In his previous life, no one could subdue Xiang Yu.
Of course, some of the lords who were familiar with the history of the War of Giant Deer had set their sights on an unknown soldier who was in charge of the cookhouse.
That person's fame in the future was not inferior to Xiang Yu's. Even Ouyang Shuo was extremely tempted by that person. Unfortunately, they were not in the same camp, so he could only think about it.
In the Anti-Qin Dynasty, there was also a group of famous people, such as the famous Minister Xiao He.
These people were staying in Peng City with Liu Bang at the moment. Peng City was four to five hundred kilometers away from the Battle of Giant Deer.
Liu Bang was given the title of "Commander-in-Chief of the Western Expedition Army" by King Huai of Chu, but he only had a few thousand shrimp soldiers. Even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to advance west and attack Qin's Guanzhong.
"Campaign Announcement: Because the Anti-Qin Faction is weaker than the Qin Faction, according to the rules, the Anti-Qin Faction will receive a 25% increase in Defence."
There was a huge difference of 184500 soldiers between the two camps.
"Campaign announcement: According to the results of the evaluation of nobility and merit points, the mutant representative of the Qin camp is He Yue Wuyi, second rank marquis. The representative of the Anti-Qin Formation Camp is Di Chen, a third rank Marquis. "
Di Chen's status as the representative of the Mutant Humans was becoming more and more stable.
"Battle announcement: Officially opening the Battle Contribution Points Exchange Mall. Players can choose to exchange their earned Battle Contribution Points for corresponding special items. Players, please find out for yourselves! "
Finally, Gaia threw out another huge bait after the Merit Points reward.
Ouyang Shuo scanned the Merchant Shop. The Special Items inside were very rich. Even the Weapon and Equipment Crafting Manual that Lord players coveted had five volumes.
Unlike the Super Trade Platform, the special items in the Merchant Shop were not duplicates. There was only one special item. Once it was exchanged by another player, it would be gone.
Ouyang Shuo counted. There were a total of 200 items in the Merchant Shop, shared by the Lord players of the two camps. In theory, half of the Lords would be able to buy a special item.
Of course, there was no such good thing.
Take Ouyang Shuo for example. If he had enough Battle Contribution Points, he would naturally buy a few.
Ouyang Shuo scanned the Merchant Shop. The special items in the Merchant Shop were not cheap. The most expensive were the five Weapon and Equipment Crafting Manual.
The Light Armor Crafting Manual was priced at 40,000 Battle Contribution Points.
Not to mention how many Lords could obtain such a huge amount of Battle Contribution Points, even if they could, they might not be willing to part with it. After all, the main goal of the Lords was to advance to the Noble rank.
In short, the opening of the Merchant Shop was beneficial to the Lords.
At the very least, there was one more choice.
After settling down, Ouyang Shuo brought Bai Qi to visit Zhang Han.
Jiyuan City, City Lord Mansion.
Zhang Han was Qin's valiant general. If Han could not be defeated, Qin would not die. None of the countries in Shandong dared to oppose Han. However, if Qin did not have Zhao Gao's craftiness and stupidity, Han would not have surrendered to Chu. Perhaps, it could even turn the tables.
In history, the most convincing explanation for Zhang Han's surrender was that Zhao Gao was worried that Zhang Han's outstanding achievements would threaten his position in the court.
Thus, Zhao Gao slandered Qin II, causing Qin II to be suspicious of Zhang Han and lose trust in him.
The pain and panic of not being trusted by the Emperor was the main reason why Zhang Han finally surrendered. Otherwise, it would have been hard to say whether Xiang Yu could defeat Zhang Han.
Zhang Han's experience was almost the same as Bai Qi's.
Bai Qi's death was due to Prime Minister Fan Ju's instigation.
It could be said that this was a common problem in Qin.
In the first year of Han, Liu Bang used Han Xin's plan to return from the ancient road and attack King Yong, Zhang Han. Liu Bang attacked the abandoned hill for a long time, and the Han army tried to flood the city. Zhang Han then drew his sword and committed suicide.
Thus, just like Xiang Yu, Zhang Han also had a trace of tragedy on him.
The only difference was that Xiang Yu's suicide at the Wu River was praised throughout the ages. On the other hand, Zhang Han's suicide was buried in the long river of history due to his disgraceful experience of surrendering a general.
Someone once said that Zhang Han was second to Bai Qi, and his status was even higher than Wang Jian.
Of course, this was only the opinion of one person.
Speaking of which, Zhang Han had a deep relationship with Shanhai City. Zhang Han's ancestor was Jiang Shang, Grand Duke Jiang.
Thus, Ouyang Shuo was confident that he could subdue Zhang Han.
Zhang Han received Ouyang Shuo and Bai Qi in the living room.
Zhang Han had just won a great victory in the south, and he seemed to be in high spirits. His lean and cold face didn't look as unbearable as before.
The observant Ouyang Shuo noticed a hint of gloominess in Zhang Han's expression.
After conquering Handan, Zhao Gao had probably grown wary of Zhang Han. The sharp-witted Zhang Han had probably also noticed that the royal court's attitude toward him was changing.
During the conquest of the south, Qin Ershi had placed great trust in Zhang Han, entrusting the entire army of the empire to him. Even Wang Li, who was conferred the title of Marquis of Lie, had to obey Zhang Han's commands.
Who was Wang Li?
He was the grandson of the famous general of Qin, Wang Jian, and the son of Wang Ben.
The three generations of the Wang Clan were all famous generals, and that was truly incredible.
From this, one could see how capable Zhang Han was.
"How can an extraordinary man be without clothes? Paying respects to the general!"
Ouyang Shuo bowed to Zhang Han from afar.
Bai Qi, who was standing behind him, looked at Zhang Han with interest.
Zhang Han nodded slightly before raising his head to look at Bai Qi. Bai Qi's actions were simply too eye-catching, such that it was impossible for him not to notice it.
Just a single look was enough to make Zhang Han's heart skip a beat.
Similar! It was simply too similar!
There were very few generals in Qin who hadn't seen Bai Qi's portrait before.
"W-who is this general?"
Even the usually calm Zhang Han was a little flustered at this moment.
"I am Bai Qi!"
Bai Qi shot a glance at Zhang Han, and a hint of admiration flashed across his eyes. For a God General like him, he was able to determine the capability of a general just by looking at them.
Clearly, Zhang Han's capability had caught Bai Qi's eye.
Bai Qi's voice was calm, but it sounded like a clap of thunder in Zhang Han's ears.
"Calm Martial Lord! It's really Calm Martial Lord! "
Zhang Han was shocked by Bai Qi's words, and he quickly lowered his head to pay his respects.
"Zhang Han pays respect to Calm Martial Lord!"
According to the game's settings, the China region would be spanning five thousand years, and this sort of space-time distortion was a common occurrence. As such, the powerful Gaia had a similar setting for all of its NPCs.
When Zhang Han saw Bai Qi, he didn't think that he would come back from the dead or anything like that. Instead, he chose to accept Bai Qi's greeting.
Bai Qi nodded and accepted Zhang Han's bow calmly.
After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them returned to their seats.
Naturally, Zhang Han didn't dare to sit on the main seat, so he had Bai Qi take it. However, Ouyang Shuo was Bai Qi's sovereign, so he couldn't sit beneath Bai Qi.
In the end, it was Ouyang Shuo who ended up sitting on the main seat.
This was truly unprecedented in the history of the game. For an Inhuman representative to sit on the main seat of their faction, it would be a huge shock if Zhang Han refused to go.
Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo was tactful enough to remain silent throughout the entire process.
Most of the conversation was between Zhang Han and Bai Qi.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Han revealed everything that had happened in the past year to Bai Qi. After that, Zhang Han bowed deeply and said, "Calm Martial Lord, please lead the army. I, Zhang Han, am willing to be the vanguard!"
He was going to hand over his military authority!
Ouyang Shuo glanced at Zhang Han in bewilderment.
To be able to hand over his military authority so readily, Zhang Han really didn't play by the rules.
Military authority was a symbol of a general's life.
By handing over his military authority, Zhang Han was entrusting his life to Bai Qi.
Had it been any other general, Zhang Han wouldn't have agreed to it so readily. One must know that he hadn't encountered any unimaginable setbacks yet, and this was the time for him to make a name for himself.
However, Bai Qi was different. He was the War God of the Qin Dynasty.
It was a taboo for military strategists to replace a general in the midst of battle.
However, such a taboo didn't exist for Bai Qi at all. Bai Qi's prestige in the Qin Dynasty was simply too great. When he died, the citizens of the Qin Dynasty paid their respects to him.
Because of that, the Qin soldiers did not have any objections towards Bai Qi, they only welcomed him.
As for the other general, Wang Li, he was probably thinking along the same lines as Zhang Han. Furthermore, Wang Li's army was the most orthodox of the Qin Dynasty's soldiers, so they admired and revered Bai Qi even more.
Just like that, Bai Qi easily obtained the military authority of the Qin Dynasty. (To be continued.)
