Chapter 6 The First Expedition

  Ding Yuan's mind was filled with all sorts of doubts, and he wondered how the original owner of this body had been injured, allowing him to take advantage of the situation. Now, Ding Yuan's heart began to have suspicions.

  After thinking for half a day, Ding Yuan remained calm and composed without fully understanding the situation. Everyone else fell silent, and the grand hall was quiet as if all were intimidated by him, staring at him with their eyes wide open in astonishment.

  This feeling is terrible. Although these people seem to be afraid of him, Ding Yuan seems to have seen a hint of... ridicule in their eyes!

  "Things seem to be wrong, but for now, let's just follow what was discussed with Ji You!"

  Ding Yuan thought for a moment and said: "The Great General's troops will be dispatched to Huo Long Town to resist the army of Che Ma Guo, it's settled!"

  When they heard Ding Yuan's firm tone, those officials still wanted to speak up, but when they saw the look in Mr. Wen's eyes, they stopped. The military generals, on the other hand, were beaming with joy, as if they had achieved a great victory.

  Afterwards, there were no more major events reported at this morning meeting, only some trivial matters.

  Finally, it seems like everything has been settled, and the meeting can be adjourned.

  Ding Yuan quietly yawned without changing his expression. Seeing that no one else was going to make a report, he said: "Alright, dismiss the court!"

  The crowd cheered and then retreated one by one from the back to the front.

  …………

  Ding Yuan's bedroom.

  Lv'er and Hong'er accompanied Ding Yuan, lying on a golden red wooden bed, Lv'er fanning with a fan, and Hong'er feeding Ding Yuan fruit.

  Ding Yuan was lying on Hong'er's legs, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Hong'er promptly brought him fruit. This exotic fruit was really delicious, anyway Ding Yuan had never eaten it in his past life.

  While eating fruit, Ding Yuan quietly inquired about Jiuliao's affairs, as well as those of Lord Wen and the Che Long Kingdom.

  Hong'er and Lü'er were after all in the imperial palace, they only knew a little about the affairs of Che Long Guo.

  With the beauty by his side, after inquiring about some things with a few knocks and whispers, the afternoon passed by leisurely. Ding Yuan also gained a general understanding of many things about Che Long Guo.

  Cheolongguk can be roughly divided into two factions: the military faction led by General Ju-ryeo, and the civil faction led by Mun-jin.

  Although Wen Da Ren appears to be a scholar, he is also a three-star warrior. He has always kept a low profile and hasn't revealed his true strength, making it difficult for others to gauge his abilities.

  Wen Daoren's name is Wen Sihai, and like Ju Liao, he was a trusted minister left by the previous emperor to 'Ding Yuan'. In the imperial court, he had a very high prestige, but in this world where martial power was supreme, the civil officials were generally weaker than the military generals, so they were always suppressed.

  That Huo Long Town, Ding Yuan had also figured out, with a population of about 5,000 people, has always been the territory of the Wu Jiang faction, close to Che Ma Guo. The town produces a fruit called "Huo Long Fruit", which is one of the richest towns in Che Long Guo.

  During this time, Ju Liao came once and asked Ding Yuan to hand over the military order to mobilize the Dou Shi squad. Huo Long Town was in extreme danger and the Dou Shi squad had to be deployed.

  Ding Yuan readily handed over the military token to Ju Liao, but Huo Long Town had already reached its most critical moment. Che Ma Guo could break through Huo Long Town at any time, and once Huo Long Town fell, the eastern barrier of Che Long Guo would completely disappear, allowing Che Ma Guo to directly threaten the capital.

  "It seems I still need to strengthen myself, if only my strength could return to its original state in the game, that would be great!"

  Ding Yuan clearly remembered that this morning in the imperial court, he occasionally released a breath of air that made the officials exclaim about a star general. He also clearly remembered his strength in the game space, which was now 16 points of martial arts.

  "Is it possible that sixteen points of martial arts strength is just one star?"

  Ding Yuan had a faint sense of doubt in his heart.

  Until late at night, Ding Yuan couldn't wait to enter the Three Kingdoms game space.

  In the space, Zhang Liao, Lü Bu and Xiang Lang were already prepared. When they saw Ding Yuan appear, the three of them immediately joined forces to come together.

  "My lord, when can you lead us into battle? Our household is growing impatient."

  Lü Bu as the number one warrior of the Three Kingdoms had an extraordinary passion for battle.

  Even Zhang Liao was eager to try, with a look of expectation on his face.

  Rang Lang was a civil official with military capabilities and had brought 100 soldiers with him when he was recruited this time.

  The general brings soldiers, relying on whether he has a soldier symbol. This soldier symbol is also one of the characteristics of the Three Kingdoms game. With the soldier symbol, the general can immediately change to the type of soldier he wants to bring when recruiting in the city.

  For example, if Lü Bu currently has both archer and spearman cards, he can instantly choose one of the two troops to go into battle when recruiting in a city.

  Seeing the three generals' eager eyes, Ding Yuan smiled and said: "Three generals, you are eager to make achievements, how can I not allow it? Wait until the three generals are ready, then I will give the sweat-blooded precious horse to General Lü Bu to ride, and immediately enter the battlefield!

  Lü Bu heard that he could ride the Red Hare, his heart was stirred with excitement, and he hastily bowed down on one knee: "Thank you, my lord!"

  Zhang Liao and Xiang Lang exchanged a glance, but didn't say much. Since Lu Bu's strength was the greatest, giving him the Red Hare to ride would allow it to exert its maximum effect!

  At times, Ding Yuan silently thought: "The internal affairs have been settled"

  Ding Yuan only heard a loud and stirring music, with golden armor and iron horses, the atmosphere was overwhelming, like a tiger swallowing everything in its path. The scenes of battles on the sandy plains were flashing before Ding Yuan's eyes at an incredible speed, making his blood boil with excitement and his heart racing with agitation.

  Suddenly, the scene changed and a large map of the Three Kingdoms city appeared. Ding Yuan took a closer look and knew that he was currently in the small town of Xinye, Jingzhou.

  Then Ding Yuan's heart moved, and he clicked on a city gate in the west of Xinye, which was Caiyangguan City, where five generals were stationed with 500 soldiers.

  Cai Yang was blocking the road for Xinye to absorb Shangyong City and march south to Xiangyang City, so Ding Yuan had to take down this city if he wanted to expand.

  Looking at Cai Yang, only a few generals were shown, but no one was leading the army, and who the military advisor was, Ding Yuan couldn't help but frown.

  Ding Yuan had played this game no less than a hundred times in his past life, and in the game, Cai Yang was not garrisoned by any generals. Ding Yuan could directly go west to attack Shangyong or south to attack Xiangyang City. Moreover, those cities would display more detailed information when clicked on the map. But now, there were only the number of generals and soldiers, which obviously increased the difficulty.

  Ding Yuan furrowed his brow, then thought for a moment before saying: "Lü Bu, Zhang Liao, take orders!"

  Two generals stepped forward and saluted with their fists: "Your Excellency, please give your orders!"

  Ding Yuan said in a deep voice: "I order you two, Lü Bu as the main general and Zhang Liao as the military strategist, to go and attack Caiyangguan City. If you can take it down, that's best; if not, be sure to preserve your strength, I will direct your actions on the map!"

  "We will obey your orders!" Lü Bu and Zhang Liao said in unison.

  This time, Ding Yuan did not let the two change their troops. In the previous game, Ding Yuan would definitely have changed both of them to archers, but now in this Three Kingdoms game space, there has been a clear change, and Ding Yuan decided to proceed with caution.

  The two took over the military order, Lü Bu brought a hundred bow and arrow soldiers by default, Zhang Liao brought a hundred long gun soldiers by default. The two led their troops and horses, and they rushed towards Cai Yang.

  Cai Yang suppressed the new wild front to go up Xiangyang, simultaneously is also the new wild gate, distance new wild only short ten days journey, Ding Yuan at this moment mind completely sank into map in, examining the soldier's advance, fortunately, game space did not truly let Ding Yuan wait for a long time, after a while, map on ten days time arrived, Lü Bu, Zhang Liao soldiers and horses already reached Cai Yang city below.

  Cai Yang, the city gate, not a moment later, five great generals broke out. After Ding Yuan's careful examination, he smiled slightly, these five people are military generals, but they are far inferior to the orthodox military generals of the Three Kingdoms, their martial arts value is not even comparable to that of Wen Lang, a civil official.

  These five generals are obviously not famous warriors of the Three Kingdoms. One is called Zhao Sheng, one is called Zhang Tie, one is the general of Caiyang Taishou, and one is the military advisor of Caiyang Jun. The other three generals are Wang Yang, Chen Ying, and Zhang Bu.

  The general Zhang Bu rode out, his horse's hooves pounding the ground, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Bu is here! Who dares to fight me?"

  Lü Bu was the commander, but he loved to fight bravely and his horse, Red Hare, was extremely spirited. It jumped out on its own, and Lü Bu shouted contemptuously: "You little brat with yellow teeth! I, Lü Bu, am here!"

  The two will automatically enter the decisive battle space, where on the left is Zhang Bu, riding a crimson horse, holding a Wu hook, leading one hundred martial arts soldiers, forming a circular formation.

  On the right is General Lü Bu, riding a fine steed, holding a halberd, with one hundred archers and soldiers forming a triangular formation.

  Two armies, one on the left and one on the right, a thousand meters apart.

  That cloth obviously knew that Lü Bu was fierce, and his martial arts soldiers were slightly restrained by the bow and arrow soldiers, so he directly issued a military order, and the flag was raised. The military order had been issued: "The whole army charges!"

  One hundred martial arts soldiers received the order and all charged out to kill.

  Watching a hundred martial arts soldiers rush out, wanting to engage in close combat with the archers and crossbowmen, Lü Bu coldly laughed and proudly said: "The whole army waits for orders, free to shoot, wait for this general's command!"

  The banners were raised immediately, and the military order was issued.

  "Promise!"

  One hundred archers stood by, awaiting orders, and began shooting down the martial arts soldiers.

  At this moment, Zhang Fei saw Lü Bu but did not charge out wildly. However, the archers also did not retreat immediately. In his heart, Zhang Fei was overjoyed: "No matter how valiant and unmatched Lü Bu is, under the siege of my elite warriors, he will still die!"

  One hundred martial arts soldiers charged forward, although the archers fired continuously, but these martial arts soldiers, despite being unarmed, excelled in agility, so within a distance of one thousand meters, the archers could only kill more than forty martial arts soldiers.

  Lü Bu saw this and was not flustered, issuing a military order: "Front army retreat!"

  Banners and flags are raised high, military orders are transmitted far and wide.

  At this moment, the conical formation began to change, and the front army's archers retreated.
