Ge Zhaodu is still as usual. The name of his self-created character is Ge Zhao, with the courtesy name Zidu. Since the area of this major update is the Western Regions, and Ge Zhaodu is familiar with Kansai, Ge Zhao's identity is that of a Han Chinese born in the Western Regions. Descendants.
As for the script, this time I chose a script from 1944. The title is "The Han Dynasty lost its deer and all the heroes chased it away, and the Wen Hou overlord swept over one side." It is still a script about the heroes fighting for hegemony.
The Western Regions Protectorate established in the Western Han Dynasty gradually lost control during the last years of the dynasty. It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that similar institutions were rebuilt in the Western Regions as Ban Dingyuan's "Jueyu Qingqi urged Zhanyun".
But because the dynasty has also entered the end of the dynasty, the Western Regions are once again gradually out of control of the central government. In this world line, Ge Zhaodu will control Ge Zhao, starting from the Western Regions and sweeping the Central Plains.
"My background choice is that of the son of a Han military leader. Now I have a group of brothers and some capital. I can either become a monk or a businessman without these things. But in this troubled world, the most promising job is of course He’s a bandit! After all, he has a gold belt for killing people and setting fires, but he has no bones for building roads and bridges!”
It just so happened that the small country in the Western Region where Ge Zhao was born had a declining income due to the ruined Silk Road, and its attitude towards the Han people became increasingly harsh, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the Han people.
If you want to become a bandit, the more dissatisfied you are and the lower the security level, the easier it will be to persuade people around you to become bandits, so Ge Zhao became a bandit.
Although the Silk Road was affected by the decline of the Han Dynasty, it was not completely cut off, and there were also certain commercial exchanges between the small states in the Western Regions.
Ge Zhaodu took advantage of this opportunity to find a suitable place to occupy, and then used this place as a base to rob merchants.
Of course, there are disadvantages to robbing merchants, that is, the desolation of this trade route will continue to increase, and merchants will tend to take safer trade routes.
And if you want to be a bandit with ambition and a future, you can't beat all businessmen to death with one blow. After all, a bandit without a way to sell stolen goods is a bandit without a future.
The merchant can be given a license in the bandit interface, so that the merchant can freely travel on his own road. Of course, he is also responsible for the tasks of writing off accounts and supplying supplies.
Naturally, the city-states of the Western Regions could not tolerate Ge Zhaodu, a bandit who disrupted commercial order, especially near this trade route, so they chose to send troops to attack him in 195.
However, the army of the small country of Zuo'er in the Western Regions is really not worth mentioning. Ge Zhao's prosperous banditry career attracted many energetic young people to defect to him. Coupled with his outstanding military capabilities, he easily defeated this city-state in the Western Regions.
After this disastrous defeat, the city-states in the Western Regions did not dare to go out to fight in the field for the time being, and Ge Zhaodu was temporarily unable to conquer the city-state, so the two sides settled down peacefully.
Ge Zhaodu also completely became the king of this trade route, issuing licenses to more and more business travelers. Those without licenses would all be robbed.
In this way, the time came to 196, and the city-states of the Western Regions finally recovered from their wounds, and then united with three nearby city-states to form a sizable army for crusade.
However, the result was almost the same as the last time. Ge Zhaodu even used the method of luring the enemy in depth to defeat all the prisoners of the four-nation coalition.
At this time, Ge Zhaodu finally had strong troops and horses, so he launched an attack on the city-state. Facing Ge Zhaodu's powerful army, he himself lost troops and generals. The city-state fell and Ge Zhaodu obtained his first piece of territory.
"The Western Region itself is not very productive. If you want to get higher income, you mainly have to rely on trade. So the important thing is not to conquer but to surrender."
Ge Zhaodu cultivated fields in this city-state for a year, and in 197 he began to attack everywhere, forcing the city-state to surrender to him along the trade routes.
Yes, it was just surrender. Ge Zhaodu did not send people to rule, as long as they paid tribute to him on time and allowed him to obtain income.
This kind of conquest continued for a whole year. Ge Zhaodu finally felt that he had all the troops and horses and had the capital to return to the East.
At this time, the situation in Kansai was like this. The three forces of Han Sui, Ma Chao and Li Jue stood side by side from west to east, and they were inextricably fighting each other.
The main reason why this happened was that Dong Zhuo's army did not have a big split, because Guo Si, a character who could compete with Li Jue, was actually killed by Ma Chao early on the battlefield, allowing Li Jue to monopolize the power of the Guanxi Army after Dong Zhuo's death.
Jia Xu did not leave the Guanxi Army. As a result, he successfully turned Ma Teng and Han Sui against each other through a strategy. Then Ma Teng was assassinated, and Han Sui was the biggest suspect, resulting in Ma Chao and Han Sui becoming sworn enemies.
Now Ma Chao is hammering Han Sui on the head, and it is under such circumstances that Ge Zhao's Western Region army came to the land of Kansai.
When he first arrived and had a weak foothold, of course Ge Zhaodu would not start directly. He chose to become a mercenary for Han Sui. After all, he urgently needed troops to resist Ma Chao's army.
After Ge Zhao's army entered Xiliang, they fought three battles in succession and finally helped Han Sui stabilize the situation, forcing Ma Chao to retreat to his home base. The next step was to harvest the fruits.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to hand over after completing the mission, Ge Zhao led his personal guards into Han Sui's lair, then launched a military coup in the city and directly fired Han Sui.
By the beginning of the spring of 198, Ge Zhaodu had completed the occupation of the Magpie Nest. The territory that belonged to Han Sui's army a year ago now belonged to Ge Zhaodu's army.
"Then the enemies in front of me now are the Ma Chao Army and Li Jue Army. Ma Chao Army is weaker but capable of fighting. Li Jue Army is stronger but is in disarray internally."
"Based on this characteristic, I decided that allying with Li Jue's army to deal with Ma Chao's army would not be regarded as feeding a tiger, because in the case of Li Jue's army, he would not be able to seize the opportunity if you gave him a chance."
So the plan was finalized. Ge Zhao sent envoys to Xiliang and successfully reached an alliance with Li Jue's army against Ma Chao's army, and both sides sent troops together.
Facing the joint suppression of Ge Zhaojun and Li Jue's army, Ma Chaojun had no chance to recover. After losing several battles one after another, his territory became less and less.
When there was only one left in Wuwei, Ma Chao's character did not allow him to be trapped in the isolated city. Instead, he chose to lead his army out of the city and fight to the death with the Ge and Li coalition forces.
The result of a decisive battle is naturally failure. After so many years of training, facing an enemy with such a gap, Ge Zhao can win without turning on modifiers.
At the moment when Ma Chao's army was about to be defeated, Ge Zhao also showed his fangs to Li Jue's army and launched a surprise attack on their army.
Li Jue's army was unprepared for Ge Zhao's sudden change of attitude, or in other words, it was difficult to prepare for Ge Zhao's sudden rebellion, given the organizational level of the army, so it suffered a complete defeat.
"Okay, I can take all of Ma Chao's army's territory. Li Jue's army will also lose most of its strength after this battle. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the entire Kansai will be mine."
