Chapter 894 – Wuqi Takes Control

Before Fu Jian even said anything, Fu Rong said, “Your highness, let’s behead Zhu Xu now.”

Fu Jian’s good treatment of prisoners had made Fu Rong unhappy. Hearing the words of Di Chen, Fu Rong would rather just kill all of them.

A similar blood color appeared in Fu Jian’s eyes. When he thought about the possible defeat and his dream of ruling the entire China disappearing, his mercy slowly disappeared.

“Your highness!” Fu Rong said once more.

Fu Jian raised his head and said coldly, “Men!”

“Present!”

“Zhu Xu eats our stuff and takes our salary but betrays our Imperial Court, becoming a spy for East Jin. Capture him and kill him as an example.”

“Yes!”

The current Zhu Xu was hoping that the Jin army would kill their way over. Who knew that catastrophe would strike? With Fu Jian’s Personal Guards acting, he had no way to resist.

After a short while, his bloody head was sent to the tent; his eyes were still wide opened. How would Zhu Xu know that there would be the sudden appearance of players?

At this point, the Battle of Fei River had changed, who knows where to.

Fu Jian looked at the head as his anger rose, “Pass this head across the army; then, send it over the shore.”

“Yes!”

‘The death of Zhu Xu will be able to stop the other schemers in the Qin army.’ Fu Jian thought to himself.

Human nature was just so complicated.

Before this, Fu Jian trusted all the people under him. However, with the words of Di Chen, the darkness in his heart was brought out.

Seeing that his first target was achieved, Di Chen continued, “Your highness, since Zhu Xu has been slain, we cannot let Murong Chui and Yao Chang walk away. If not, it will cause problems in the future.”

The Yanhuang Alliance had ambitions in this battle. Di Chen wanted to change history just like Ouyang Shuo did previously.

Even if it were not for the glory, Di Chen really needed the merit points.

However, to truly change history was really difficult. The Yanhuang Alliance felt that they needed to efficiently utilize the million troops of the former Qin army. If not, in a player army versus player army faceoff, they did not have any confidence.

Moreover, for them to make use of the million former Qin troops, they needed to remodel it. At the very least, it could not be like a ticking time bomb that would explode with a touch.

If that happened, not having the army would be better.

However, it was not easy to remodel a million troops in a short time. Di Chen’s goal was to remove a few key people in the former Qin army and not let them create trouble.

Zhu Xu was the first; Murong Chui and Yao Chang were the second and third ones.

“This…” Fu Jian hesitated.

Even Fu Rong said, “To kill our own generals before the battle even starts, it might cause the army to be unsettled.”

When Di Chen saw that, he knew that he would not be able to kill them. Hence, he had to take a step back, “Even if you do not kill them, you need to remove their powers and give them another role.”

“That can be done.” Fu Jian did not hesitate.

Hence, Di Chen easily removed two problems of the former Qin army.

Immediately, Fu Jian and Fu Rong decided to move them to the command center. In name, it was a promotion, but in truth, it was to remove them from the frontlines.

With 400 thousand players, Murong Chui and Yao Chang would not dare to try anything funny.

After the two of them were given new appointments, there were two empty spots. Fu Jian looked at Di Chen, “Do you have anyone to recommend?”

Di Chen was delighted, “I recommend two people, Thee Kingdoms general Wei Yan and Hua Xiong.”

Wei Yan was a general under Feng Qingyue, while Hua Xiong was under Sha Pojun.

Generals like Lianpo, Tiandan, and Wuqi obviously could not be used.

Fu Jian was glad when he heard it. It was not long after the Three Kingdoms, and the famous names of Wei Yan and Hua Xiong were much stronger than Murong Chui and Yao Chang.

“Good, I agree.”

Hence, Wei Yan and Hua Xiong were passed. The player forces started the first step of infiltration into the former Qin army. However, this was still a distance away from Di Chen’s goal.

When Di Chen saw that Fu Jian was pleased, he carefully suggested, “The Qin army is a mix of many races and the language communication is difficult. I have a bunch of generals good at various languages, would you use them?”

Players in the game had translation systems and were good at all kinds of languages. The generals mostly came from Zhan Lang’s forces and were all retired military personnel that were really experienced.

When Fu Jian heard that, his eyes lit up, “There’s actually something so magical, how many?”

“Five thousand!”

“Since that’s the case, appoint them as the contact officers of the army.” Fu Jian had been through many wars and understood military affairs really well.

“Thank you for your trust.” Di Chen was delighted too.

Five thousand contact officers were enough to build up a highly efficient commanding network to stop the biggest weakness of the Qin army.

This was a god stroke.

Fu Jian continued, “Do you have any other generals to recommend?”

Di Chen replied, “I recommend Wuqi.”

“What?” Fu Jian quickly got up and said urgently, “The Wuqi you mention, is it the warring states Wuqi?”

“That’s right.”

Wuqi was the top general in the Yanhuang Alliance, and he was the key person in their plot for them to control the Qin army.

Fu Jian’s face turned red as he walked around the tent, thinking of a huge decision. After a long while, he calmed down, “Immediately call general Wuqi here, I’m going to appoint him as chief commander. He will be in charge of the million Qin forces and take full control of this war.”

When Di Chen heard these words, he was so shocked that he could not utter a word. Their original plan was for him to be a commander. Who knew that Fu Jian would make such a decision?

With that, the Yanhuang Alliance’s remodeling of the former Qin army had reached a crucial step.

Di Chen bowed, “Thank you for your trust!”

With all his targets achieved, Di Chen took his leave. As for the specific war arrangements, he would wait until Wuqi was appointed.

Based on the plan, Zhao Zhuang and the other generals would be appointed together and help Wuqi change the Qin army. As for the players, they had Tiandan and Lianpo.

For this battle, the famous generals of Yanhuang Alliance had all come out.

************

At night, Zhu Xu’s head was brought over the shore by an envoy.

When Xie Shi and Xie Xuan saw the head, they kept silent for a while. They were thinking back to the words that Zhu Xu had said not long ago. Their hearts were filled with guilt.

“Let’s bury Governor Zhu!” Xie Shi ordered.

“Yes!”

Ouyang Shuo was expressionless. Since the start of the battle, he had predicted that Zhu Xu would die. If it was him, he would not let Zhu Xu live either.

Di Chen’s actions were just normal.

“This battle will be a hard one.”

Who knows when, but Feng Qiuhuang suddenly appeared behind Ouyang Shuo and spoke.

Looking at the setting sun, Ouyang Shuo kept silent and did not say anything.

…

That afternoon, Xie Shi called to see Ouyang Shuo, “I agree with your suggestion.”

Ouyang Shuo nodded. Actually, Xie Shi did not have a choice, and he asked, “Can you send an elite force to sneak attack their grain transport group?”

To break the Qin army grain path was the key to winning this battle.

However, Ouyang Shuo had just arrived here. Even if he studied history books, he did not understand the exact situation of the battle and needed Xie Shi to give him his answer.

Xie Shi’s answer really disappointed Ouyang Shuo, “It’s really difficult, the Qin army is swarming toward Shouyang. On the roads are all Qin troops, so to sneak attack it is as hard as climbing the heavens.”

Ouyang Shuo kept silent.

A huge army had the difficulties of a huge army, but they also had their benefits – they were not so easy to sneak attack.

Xie Shi continued, “Late last night, the spy in the Qin army said that they are making big moves. Not only did they kill Zhu Xu, but they also removed Murong Chui and Yan Chang. Most crucially, Fu Jian appointed Wuqi as chief commander. Other than that, there was Wei Yan, Hua Xiong, and Zhao Zhuang. It seems like the player forces are taking control of the army.”

Ouyang Shuo nodded; the actions of Di Chen and the others were just as he had expected. If they did not know how to use these advantages, Di Chen would not be fit to be his opponent.

The only thing that surprised Ouyang Shuo was that Fu Jian actually allowed Wuqi to be the chief commander.

Wasn’t Fu Jian afraid? Maybe because he was afraid, so he did not care. He acted without the restraint; he just wanted to win.

Hence, the pressure on the East Jin camp grew greater and greater.

If Ouyang Shuo knew that there were five thousand more officers that moved into the Qin army, his head would probably swell.

Compared to Di Chen, there was a limit to the things that Ouyang Shuo could do. Looking at the 80 thousand Jin army, he could not do much. Xie Xuan was also the creator of the north house army, so even if Ouyang Shuo wanted to stick a general in, the north house army generals would not be happy.

This was the natural deficit of the East Jin camp.

Leaving the tent, Ouyang Shuo was thinking of a way to solve the problem. “Forget it; let’s just go and ask Wen He.”

At the key moment, it was best to use Jia Xu.

In Ouyang Shuo’s tent, Jia Xu, Huo Qubing, Ma Chao, Wang He, his other men, as well as Feng Qiuhuang, Wufu, and Gong Chengshi had all gathered together.

Since Jia Xu was present, Gong Chengshi did not bring his strategist, Jushou. The summoning talisman that Ouyang Shuo gave Gong Chengshi was not effective, and he summoned a civil servant.

Compared to the Yanhuang Alliance, the Shanhai Alliance general formation was far weaker. Apart from the Great Xia Dynasty, the other three territories did not have any huge names.

This battle was becoming tougher and tougher.
