Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is one of the best places in the world with its dangerous land, water and land convenience.
The night market is not over yet, a new day has arrived. If they hadn't traveled to the Three Kingdoms, players would have thought they had traveled to Chang'an, the city that never sleeps in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
In fact, just like Dachun's mistake at the beginning, there were not many players who chose Luoyang at the beginning, less than 2,000 people. But after six months of development, each of these two thousand people ranked among the top 10,000. Everyone had a military commander talisman, and even two military commander talismans per capita.
Moreover, the famous generals in Luoyang have greatly deceived the players. In addition to Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and Lu Zhi, who are all known to the players for destroying the Yellow Turbans, there are also the Eighth School Lieutenants of Xiyuan, especially the Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo in the Imperial Palace. The other father-in-laws are even more unfathomable masters. There are also Duan Jiu (jiǒng), one of the sixty-four famous generals of the Martial Temple, whose names are unknown to most players, and Zhang Huan of Sanming in Liangzhou, etc.
Luoyang at the end of the Han Dynasty had a profound and terrifying history.
Players who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms often know nothing about the late Han Dynasty, so the blurred boundary between the Three Kingdoms and the late Eastern Han Dynasty has become a real watershed for players.
Of course, for most Luoyang players, there is usually only one real focus: the singing and dancing girl performance conference held regularly by Wang Yun and Wang Situ's Mansion. It’s hard to get a vote...
Luoyang North City Wharf Restaurant.
After Sima Gang had a drink with Wang Kuang yesterday and said bad things about Zhong Huang, he crossed the river to Luoyang to continue business and stayed overnight to wait for news.
There is good news indeed. Qian Qiuxue, who was ranked third, dropped to the tenth place. The bad news is that Li Guanqi was promoted to third place and also flew to Yongchang. The bad news is that there is no news from Zhong Huang, and Dachun is still number 51.
Maybe I take it too much for granted. Based on the efficiency of doing things in ancient times, unless the rebellion was suppressed without delay, such an unreasonable thing would probably be impossible.
Sima Gan went downstairs to order, and several familiar local Luoyang players greeted him: "Good morning, Brother Gang!"
Sima Gang smiled and said: "Brother, what a good morning--"
Then he shouted: "Boy, this guy will charge the money for breakfast to my account!"
"Okay, guest!"
All the players were overjoyed: "As expected of Brother Gang, so heroic!"
These players are doing well in Luoyang. Compared with Sima Gang, the Hanoi brother, they are "chicken heads and phoenix tails." However, the phoenix tail is always the phoenix. Some things can only be accomplished easily by players with local registered permanent residence, so Sima Gang is in Luoyang. You really have to rely on them for some things, so their business is scalpers and PHS.
In fact, the starting location is the most revealing of a player's personality. Because the most popular Liu Bei is set as unavailable at the beginning of this world, then Cao Cao will naturally become a hit, followed by Sun Quan. So those who hang out with Boss Cao and Sun Quan at the beginning are all normal people.
In the beginning, those who hang out with Ma Teng, Han Sui, Gong Sun Zan are all ruthless people.
The one who dared to mess with Dong Zhuo at the beginning was the werewolf, Wolf Fire, who was two or three points more ruthless than the ruthless people.
Anyone who dares to mess with Zhang Jiao at the beginning is being cruel to himself and is a wolf destroyer!
As for those who circle around corners like Yongchang Chengdu at the beginning, needless to say, they are all cowards!
So the one who starts in Luoyang is either a very talented person like Zhong Huang, or someone who is very speculative. These few people in front of me are professional speculators...
Sima Gang smiled and said: "We are all brothers. You can order whatever you want to eat. You are welcome. Do you have Wang Yun's tickets?"
All the players laughed and said: "Don't worry, we will do our best to carry out what Brother Gong told us! As long as Zhong Huang is not here, looking at the whole city, who can fight better than Brother Gong?"
Sima Gang was very pleased. Zhong Huang is really powerful, so powerful that no grass grows under the big tree. As soon as his snowball starts rolling, it will basically absorb all Luoyang's idle funds. No matter how good other Luoyang players are, they can't compete with him in terms of funds. On the contrary, he stood out from the crowd because he, the No. 1 brother in Hanoi, still had some spare money.
A player whispered: "There was another monster in the palace last night!!"
Sima Gang's expression changed, and he whispered excitedly: "Keep an eye on it!"
Everyone whispered: "Understood!"
When a country is about to fall, there must be monsters, and the presence of monsters in the palace is also a major feature of Luoyang. However, the biggest feature of the palace is the palace market of Ling Emperor Liu Hong. In other words, Emperor Ling was very good at playing. He also built replicas of market shops, taverns and stalls in the palace, and asked various concubines and palace maids to act as traders. Emperor Ling was also particularly into the drama, often quarreling with the female "profiteer" with arms akimbo, and even fighting directly.
The goods sold in the market are all rare treasures. Therefore, there are always monsters in the palace, and then a few treasures are missing. So whether it's really a demon, or the concubines and palace ladies are stealing and acting as demons, it won't be long before a treasure is left on the market outside the palace.
So this can be regarded as Luoyang’s secret treasure-hunting strategy. Not many local players in Luoyang know about it. Zhong Huang must know, but fortunately he is gone. Otherwise, with his financial resources, he could eat as much treasure as he had, and there would be no chance for Sima Gang.
At this time, another player whispered: "With this long-term monster, the emperor won't just hiccup like this, right?"
Another player pointed to the sky: "It's still holding up."
"It's best to hold on for one more year, I haven't developed well yet..."
Sima Gang sneered: "I hope you can hiccup immediately and grow up peacefully for a year? You think too much. When you are ready, others will go against the will..."
In fact, Luoyang players basically know a little secret: Ling Emperor Liu Hong is not a general star, but an emperor star! The kind that is shaky and unstable. As long as the Emperor Star falls, you don't have to think about it to know what will happen. All kinds of little common sense in Luoyang will be deliberately avoided by these speculative Luoyang players who magically reach a collective tacit understanding and will never be mentioned on the forum. Players in other regions are forced by the immediate pressure of survival and development and really don't care that much.
A player asked: "Brother Gang's Sima family understands the celestial phenomena and knows when it will fall?"
Sima Gang said in a deep voice: "Then we have to look at Tan Shihuai, the king of Xianbei in the north. When his emperor's star rises, it will be the time when the emperor burps."
The player was surprised: "In historical fact, Tanshihuai died as early as 180 years ago. As soon as he died, Xianbei immediately fell apart and started a civil war."
Sima Gang smiled and said: "So the emperor lived to be 189 years old. But the historical facts are only used as a reference to the characters and cannot be counted..."
The player laughed and said: "Actually, the emperor is not old, he is in his thirties. Historical facts are ridiculous. The average life span of the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty was more than 26 or 7 years old."
"If we play according to the rules of this world, God knows what kind of old demon is hiding in the palace who specializes in sucking the emperor's essence..."
While they were talking, another player came in and greeted: "Good morning, Brother Gang!"
Sima Gang smiled and waved: "Come and sit down, breakfast has been ordered."
Since he is a scalper, of course he works in two shifts to gather information. What is the most important thing in a place like Luoyang? information!
The player handed over a briefing note: "Brother Bang, this is the list of ministers who will attend court this morning."
Going to court is like clocking in at work, every day is the same. For ordinary players, this news is too high-level and has no reference value. But for Sima Youda's book boy, this is "Basic Cultivation of Rich Book Boys".
Sima Gang's brows jumped, and he suddenly saw the name he wanted to see the most: Cai Yong!
Cai Yong has been compiling the history book of the Han Dynasty at home, and he does not go to court if he has nothing to do!
I want to ask why Sima Gang is so clear? Because there are not many players in Luoyang who don't know why he has a daughter Cai Wenji who is so interesting! In the Three Kingdoms, many women who were queens did not leave their full names, but Cai Wenji did! It can be said that this is the most important woman with cultural status in the Three Kingdoms era.
Cai Yong was dispatched, there was only one possibility, Wang Kuang persuaded him!
And Cai Yong's status in Emperor Ling's heart was very important. He was one of the most talented writers in the country. He was the only one who dared to tell the truth in front of the emperor and was not afraid of offending others. He was one of those with a strong personality! If Cai Yong came to attack a small fund-raising project, and coupled with Emperor Ling's personality of selling his official position and being greedy for money... wouldn't it really succeed?
Sima Gang waited nervously and excitedly for the next step.
Not long after, breaking news suddenly came from the tavern: "Cai Zhonglang went to court to impeach the Zhong family, and the emperor sealed up the Zhong family's son-in-law's Qianzhuang workshop and confiscated it!"
The tavern was in an uproar, and Sima Gang was shocked on the spot!
It actually worked! ? As expected of Cai Yong!
But in this way, Cai Yong offended not only the Zhong family, but also all the wealthy families in Luoyang who participated in the fund-raising! According to historical facts, Cai Yong was too strong and offended, so he went to Jiangdong to hide for twelve years. Dong Zhuo was even more ruthless and directly threatened to destroy his three clans before recruiting him back to the court. It was precisely because Dong Zhuo helped Cai Yong deal with all his enemies that Cai Yong burst into tears of gratitude...
In short, Sima Gang was afraid, fearing that Wang Kuang would be harmed and he would be harmed too! Go back to Wang Kuang to discuss it.
"Everyone, eat slowly. I have some business to do."
"Brother Gang, walk slowly..."
Sima Gang walked out of the tavern and passed by the notice board at the door. He glanced at the ranking list and his heart tightened. The first person was still Zhong Huang...
