"Thank you, Lord Prefect!"

Receiving Qin Jie's approval made the players present extremely excited.

After all, the power of the middle and high-level people is now firmly controlled by these aristocratic families.

Even if you want to be an official in the imperial court, you must have a background from a noble family.

Although Shichangshi sold a number of official positions, there are some shortcomings.

One is that the number of official positions is too small. Not only the player community needs them, but also other powerful families are rushing to grab them. The competition is very fierce.

Second, the price of official positions is too expensive, and ordinary people really cannot afford it.

Third, most official positions are just in name only and do not have much real effect. They are simply useless.

As for the promise given by Qin Jie, it is much better to buy an official position.

Because as long as you occupy the territory, you can legitimately become a local official. These are official positions with real power.

Once you win a city, you can become the city lord.

After winning a county, they can become the county magistrate, and other officials in the county government can make their own decisions.

This temptation is really too great and no one can refuse it.

Especially for players, there are only a handful of people who can become local officials.

In the late Han Dynasty, when troubled times were approaching, it was much better to be a local official than to be an official in the imperial court.

Even as a player group, it is extremely necessary to occupy a territory as a base for development.

Although players have the authority to build villages.

However, if you want to develop a village into a town and then reach the size of a city, a lot of time and materials need to be invested.

Building a city requires the strength of the entire guild.

Even so, these built villages and large cities are still under the jurisdiction of local governments, and are often exploited and collected various taxes at every turn.

Even one's own territory is within the jurisdiction of the government, and some matters must be obeyed by the government's arrangements.

Otherwise, I will give you some small shoes to wear and cause all kinds of trouble.

If things get serious, I'll arrange a name for you as a rebel.

Therefore, it would be best if you could become an official yourself.

Nowadays, the imperial court has less and less control over local areas. As long as you become a county magistrate, you are the real emperor.

How could players not understand this?

Moreover, only by becoming an official and occupying a territory can you have the opportunity to compete with the aristocratic families and have the qualifications to survive in troubled times.

As Qin Jie's various preferential policies were released, they immediately aroused the support of countless player forces and aristocratic families, who mobilized troops and prepared to attack more than 20 counties controlled by Zhang Mancheng.

You know, these more than twenty counties are equivalent to twenty county magistrates and hundreds of city lords.

During the rebellion in Pingyun County, fighting for the ownership of a city can cause countless players to compete.

What's more, it is now such a large piece of land, equivalent to the area of ​​dozens of Pingyun counties.

Also, for players who join the imperial camp, even if they defeat the Yellow Turban Army, they can only obtain some merit resources and so on.

To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]

Unlike the players in the Yellow Turban camp, who are qualified to burn, kill and plunder. After occupying the city, they can become their own king.

Even if the players from the imperial camp captured the city from the Yellow Turban Army, they usually had to hand it over to the local government or the imperial court.

As soon as the news spread, it immediately attracted the enthusiasm of countless players to join.

"This is the government's counterattack!"

Qin Yuan also received the news overnight, and was a little surprised.

Although Qin Jie's move, like the imperial court, gave up many rights.

Even after Nanyang County is recaptured, many local tyrants will be born, and they will be divided into separate areas, making it difficult to control.

But I have to admit that this is currently the most effective way to defeat the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army.

After all, the strength of the government alone is extremely limited, and it is difficult to destroy the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army.

However, if the powerful families and player forces are integrated, the scale will be extremely terrifying.

You know, these two groups are the largest and most terrifying.

Don't look at the current fierce fighting between the Yellow Turban camp and the imperial camp, with hundreds of millions of troops invested.

However, the power that players all over the world, as well as the deep-rooted noble class, can exert is enough to overthrow the entire Han Dynasty.

Like the player group, not to mention the territory they occupy and the aboriginal soldiers under their command.

They alone have a number of more than one billion.

The combined strength of the two opposing camps of Julu Guangzong is only 400 million.

Not to mention the power of the noble class. They control most of the world's resources. Even the combined power of all players is no match for them.

Of course, the only good thing is that these two groups exist scattered and are not a unified group.

Most players exist independently as individuals.

And even guild players are divided into various guilds, and there is competition between them.

The same goes for the gentry class.

They control a lot of power and wealth, but there are competitions and conflicts between them.

After all, the cake in the world is only so big, and it has already been divided.

Especially for some rising stars, it is difficult for them to obtain some big resources.

And if you want to get more benefits, you can only turn over the table, disrupt everything, and redistribute.

"That's good news!"

"Originally, we needed to take the initiative to attack the Nanyang government army!"

"Now, we just need to stick to this and wait for them to come to our door!"

Li Cunxiao said with a smile. "It is estimated that the Nanyang army will attack us in the next two days!"

Although they are not afraid of fighting tough battles, it is still relatively difficult to attack the city, and it is not always possible.

Therefore, even if they do not engage in a defensive battle, if they engage in a battle with the opponent, this is very beneficial to them.

Especially the troops coming for reinforcements this time are all cavalry.

It is very advantageous to fight on plains like the south.

It can be said that as long as the government army sends as many troops as possible, they can destroy as many troops as they can.

Just like on the battlefield in Jizhou area.

Li Cunxiao led a million cavalrymen to wreak havoc on the entire battlefield, killing all 10 million enemy troops scattered on the battlefield in one day.

And if you want to attack a city and kill 10 million defenders, it is not difficult at all.

"It seems that the news of our coming to Nanyang has not been leaked!"

"Otherwise, the Nanyang government army's strategic strategy should be to switch from offense to defense!"

"But this is good, as we can annihilate the effective forces of the government army faster!"

"Otherwise, we have to attack the city every time, which is indeed a problem!"

Qin Yuan nodded slightly.

They have only one way to attack the city now, and that is to use Li Cunxiao's celestial phenomena to break the city's protective formation and wall defenses.

But after all, the combat effectiveness of Li Cunxiao alone is limited.

And this efficiency is really too slow.

Once the government army discovered this, they could resort to a war of attrition and use cities to consume Li Cunxiao's combat power, thus achieving the purpose of delaying the tactics.

On the other hand, once the news about Qin Yuan in Nanyang is exposed, it will cause changes in the overall situation.

The imperial camp will definitely counterattack.

The enemies we will face then are not just the Nanyang government’s army.

After discussions with Zhang Mancheng, both of them decided to postpone the battle plan.

In the following days, no fighting broke out in Nanyang.

But the atmosphere of approaching storm is becoming more and more solemn.

After these days of planning, the aristocratic families and player forces have assembled a large number of troops.

Originally Qin Jie only needed three million troops to help him.

But now it seems that the number mentioned at the beginning was still too conservative.
