Chapter 594-Hanwu Emperor Appears
Translator: ryangohsf
Editor: Nora
No matter what, Ouyang Shuo still needed to take a look at Zhao Ponu's stats.
Name: Zhao Ponu (King Rank)
Dynasty: West Han
Identity: Shanhai City General
Occupation: advanced general
Loyalty: 70
Command: 70
Force: 72
Intelligence: 45
Politics: 35
Specialty: Breakthrough (10% increase in attack power of troops, 20% increase in movement speed of troops)
Cultivation method: Broken Capture Sword Manual (24 styles)
Equipment: Six-sided Han Sword
Evaluation: Zhao Ponu was born in the plains, and he spent his youth in the Xiongnu territory. Then he joined the Han Army and became the advisor for Huo Qubing's army. In the end, his whole family was killed because of the 91 B. C. attempted coup on Emperor Wu of Han.
Zhao Ponu's stats truly were not amazing. Even his command and force stats were at the lowest standard of 70. As for his intelligence and politics stats, they were even worse.
However, his specialty was a saving grace.
Overall, Zhao Ponu was exceedingly average, and he lacked any eye-catching performances. After Huo Qubing died, Zhao Ponu led twenty thousand cavalry to fight the Tuqi King of the Left. In the end, he was surrounded by eighty thousand enemy toops and was captured alive, and his forces fell.
Ouyang Shuo was not too disappointed about this matter.
The expansion of the three legion corps meant that they needed generals. No matter what, Zhao Ponu could still take up the role of a major general. Compared to the locally trained generals, he was a level better.
Since there was still some time, Ouyang Shuo recalled the items that the Tunqi King of the Left had dropped. As he had hurried to sleep last night, he did not have the time to take a look at them.
It was a book.
Xiongnu War Knife Crafting Technical Manual: After use, user learns the Xiongnu War Knife Crafting Technology.
Shanhai City already had the Tang Blade, so they did not have much need for the Xiongnu War Knives. At most, they would merge the crafting techniques to modify the Tang Blades.
Of course, the Mongol Cavalry Training Diary that Zhou Yafu had dropped would make building an elite mongol army possible.
To possess a variety of cavalry was always Ouyang Shuo's goal.
The Xiongnu cavalry including the Xiongnu cavalry each had their strengths. If not they would not have been able to rule the earth.
Apart from that, Ouyang Shuo was thinking about how to earn money.
Shanhai City did not need the Xiongnu War Knives. However, this did not mean that other territories did not need it. Furthermore, it was a very attractive item for adventure gamemode players.
Especially the chivalrous experts that loved war knives.
Hence, this manual could help Shanhai City create another money making route.
"The Tuqi King of the Left is a good fellow!"
During that short period of time, the final reward was finally delivered to his hands.
Ouyang Shuo took the item; it was actually a token.
Xiongnu Horse Token: After use, user can obtain ten thousand elite Xiongnu warhorses.
"A masterstroke!"
After Ouyang Shuo checked the description of the horse token, he could not help but cheer for the Hanwu Emperor.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo estimated that those Xiongnu warhorses were the battle rewards from this war. The Hanwu Emperor used these winnings to reward the best player Lord, while he himself did not lose much.
Before this, Ouyang Shuo had certain worries. Since the number of territory troops had increased too fast, even with the Shenjun Lake horse breeding farm and the Jifeng Valley horse stables, they still would not have enough.
Using this horse token, the Animal Husbandry Department could totally build another farm. With that, they could satisfy the short-term warhorse needs.
Training methods, warhorses, and war knives were all connected. As a result, Shanhai City would give birth to a strong mongol elite cavalry army.
After getting what he wanted, Ouyang Shuo did not waste any more time and led his troops out of the battle map.
When he returned to the main map, it was already the 1st month, 20th day. When he walked out of the teleportation formation, a system notification sounded out.
"System Notification; Battle of Mobei is officially over. The West Han historical people will automatically join the game. Please search for them!"
......
Unknowingly, the history period of the game had progressed to the West Han.
Amongst the people of the West Han, Ouyang Shuo paid the most attention to Wang Zhaojun, as she concerned the Four Beauties quest. As for the other figures, it would be up to fate.
Next, the chaotic East Han period would follow. Especially the ending years of East Han, where wars started everywhere and many famous generals came into prominence. This was a period that could compare to the Warring States.
Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang....
Each name was a famous one that everyone knew of.
There was no Lord that did not wish for the arrival of East Han.
As for the sixth battle map that was going to start soon, Ouyang Shuo already had the inklings of a plan.
Regarding the specifics, he still needed to wait a little longer.
This was because Gaia had set the requirement for the sixth battle to fifty prefectures in the China region. Currently, the China region only had fifteen prefectures, so they were unlikely to meet that requirement in a short amount of time.
Following which, another system notification sounded out.
"System Notification: Wu King of Han has officially moved into Luoyang City, the Luoyang Imperial Court will become the Han Dynasty. Famous ministers such as Wei Qing, Zhang Qin, Sima Qian, and Sima Xiangru will follow him."
......
Qinhuang Hanwu was not just a saying.
Following Qin Shihuang, another mighty lord of ancient China, Wu King of Han, had finally appeared in the wilderness. Of course, since Qin Shihuang had sent a precedence, the players were not too shocked this time.
Based on logic, the capital city of West An should be Chang An City. As for Luoyang, it was the capital city of East Han. Helplessly, the Tang Dynasty capital was also Chang An.
Hence, after Gaia calculated and weighed everything, it decided to choose Luoyang City as the capital city of the Han Dynasty.
There were nine imperial cities, so only nine emperors and kings. If Gaia based it on the dynasties, there would be far more than nine. Hence, Gaia naturally needed to make some sacrifices.
Even Ouyang Shuo did not know about this entire matter.
After all, in the five years of the game, there were some dynasties that did not join.
Along with the Hanwu Emperor entering Luoyang, the Zhongyuan Province that had just calmed down would grow busy once more. One must know that during the 3rd system update, Gaia had removed the outer barriers around the imperial cities.
The Imperial cities, especially the ones with dynasties, were going to have an immense impact on the wilderness.
At the very least, the decisive Hanwu Emperor would not allow players to taint the Luoyang Prefecture. It would be the same as the surrounding territory of Xianyang City, which Qin Shihuang had occupied.
After the Chinese New Year, a battle would probably take place in the Zhongyuan Province.
Of course, this worry was only limited to the nearby territories. Meanwhile, the hearts of the other Lords felt pained, as they could not recruit Wei Qing and the other famous generals and ministers.
If Ouyang Shuo had not recruited Huo Qubing, he would have probably entered the dynasty too.
The only way to recruit them was to destroy the imperial city and become their new king.
Of course, probably not many Lords had the ability or courage to compete against Qinhuang Hanwu.
......
After arriving at the wilderness, Huo Qubing's mind was suddenly filled with a large quantity of historical information. After learning that the Wu King of Han had appeared in the wilderness, who knows what Huo Qubing was feeling.
On the other hand, Zhao Ponu, who learned that his race was wiped in the end, did not miss the king anymore. Ouyang Shuo even received a notification that his loyalty had risen by 10 points.
That was truy ironic.
Ouyang Shuo's treatment of Huo Qubing was unfaultable. The moment he returned to the manor, he immediately announced the duty of Huo Qubing.
He appointed him as the legion general of the Guards Legion and granted him the title of Great General. At the same time, Zhao Ponu would become the major general of the Dragon Legion Corps, 2nd legion, 4th division.
Based on logic, as a god rank general, Huo Qubing could rule a legion corps like Baiqi and Han Xin.
However, Ouyang Shuo did not appoint him to such a position.
Firstly, the territory army had just expanded, so it would not be easy to build another legion corps. secondly, the newly built guards legion badly needed a general.
With the position of the Guards Legion in the territory, it was not an insult to his ability.
Most importantly, Huo Qubing was a keen dagger. He was a great general but not a good commander. Leading troops in battle was his strength. However, making him command and lead a legion corps with many different soldier types would be asking too much.
Taking a step back, as the personal army of Ouyang Shuo, the Guards Legion needed such a general.
All things considered, before the battle map, Ouyang Shuo had planned everything clearly. He knew what position he would grant Huo Qubing if he succeeded.
After settling Huo Qubing, Ouyang Shuo immediately summoned Animal Husbandry Director Xia Houying.
"Greetings, my Lord!"
Towards this summon, Xia Houying was a little surprised.
"Take a look at this." Ouyang Shuo passed the Xiongnu Horse Token over.
"This, this is!"
When Xia Houying saw the token, emotion and excitement filled his face.
As the director, Xia Houying was more worried about warhorse matters than Ouyang Shuo. He clearly knew what this horse token meant to the territory.
"Quickly choose a grassland to build a horse breeding farm in the territory." Ouyang Shuo smiled.
In the game, the map was ten times larger than reality.
Choosing a horse ranch was not too difficult a matter.
"Lord do not worry. Three days, at most three days, we will have some rewards." Xia Houying was exceedingly confident.
As the director of animal husbandry, Xia Houying had performed an investigation on the parts of the territory suitable for building a horse breeding farm.
He just needed three days time to make a selection based on their research.
"With Director Xia doing things, I am naturally at ease."
This director left Ouyang Shuo extremely pleased.
