Free Web NovelChapter 213: Each Receives Rewards, Prepare for the Continental Selection Competition!
"Then how about appointing him as Right General, and granting him the position of Governor of the Four Counties of Jiangdong?"
Upon hearing this, Long Chen’s face turned ashen, his fists clenched tightly, making a creaking sound.
Right General is only a second-grade official position, just one step higher than his previous position as General Who Stabilizes the South, still a second-grade position.
As for being appointed as Governor of the Four Counties of Jiangdong, it was even more ridiculous. He already had control over the Four Counties of Jiangdong. Did he really need another appointment?
Since you all treat me like this, then I have no need to be polite to you either.
Immediately,
Long Chen sneered and clasped his hands, saying, "Hmph! I first attacked Li Jue and Guo Si from the east, beheaded the leaders of these two bandits; then I rushed non-stop to Chang’an and defeated Zhang Ji and Fan Chou’s forces, ensuring Your Majesty’s safety."
"Such great achievements, why shouldn’t I receive such rewards?"
"But you useless literati, when there was trouble with bandits, I bet you were all hiding in your homes, trembling in fear!"
"Now that the disaster has been resolved, you’ve all come out again."
"Do you not believe I can show you once more the power of the rebels from Liangzhou?!"
With these words, it was like a huge bomb exploded in the ears of these civil officials.
Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
They had witnessed the scene after the rebels from Liangzhou entered the city, which was insanely brutal and tragic.
They didn’t want to face such a situation again.
They all retreated back into the ranks, saying no more.
Seeing the leaders of these aristocratic families retreat, what could Liu Xie, a commander with no real power, do to counterbalance them?
Forget it. He just hoped Long Chen wouldn’t be as cruel to him as Dong Zhuo was before.
So he waved his hand to intervene, smiling and saying, "Announce my decree!"
"Appoint Long Chen as General of Agile Cavalry, Champion Marquis, and Governor of Yangzhou."
He then proceeded to confer honors upon the meritorious officials under Long Chen’s command one by one.
"Appoint Guo Jia as Minister Steward!"
"Appoint Zhao Yun as General of Dragon Charging!" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Appoint Xu Chu as General of Tiger’s Might!"
"Appoint Dian Wei as General Who Guards the Army!"
...
Basically, all the military officials and strategists under Long Chen’s command were appointed to positions of fourth or fifth rank.
The most delighted were undoubtedly the common-born military officers under Long Chen’s command.
"I knew it! Following the Lord, I knew I would become a general! Hehehe! I didn’t expect my dream to come true so soon!!!"
Dian Wei laughed heartily, scratching his bald head with his right hand, making his intimidating appearance even more fearsome when he smiled.
Xu Chu also grinned broadly, feeling very pleased.
In his heart, he thought, "Finally, I’ve made some achievements! When I return to my village, I’ll let the younger generation learn from me."
Seeing the smiles on the faces of his officers and soldiers, Long Chen couldn’t help but smile too...
Back at his residence, Long Chen’s mind was alerted by the system’s prompt tone.
"Ding! The Continental Qualifiers of the Supreme World Tournament are about to begin! Get ready!"
"Please choose five military officers and strategists to accompany you and your army within ten minutes."
"Note: Each lord can only bring a maximum of five military officers and strategists."
"Note: Each lord can only bring a maximum of fifty thousand troops."
"Ding! The countdown begins now, ten minutes..."
Soon, a virtual screen appeared in front of Long Chen, displaying his various attributes and information about his territory on the left side.
On the right side were the military officers and strategists under his command, from which he needed to choose five.
By the time of the Continental Qualifiers, the system would allow these people to fight alongside him.
Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Xie Zhen, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Ling Cao, Diao Chan, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Cai Wenji, Empress Dowager He, Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Guo Jia...
Unconsciously, Long Chen had recruited so many talents that he found it difficult to make a selection!
Furrowing his brows, Long Chen carefully considered which subordinates to choose...
While most other players did not have the same dilemma as Long Chen.
In Qingzhou,
The leader of the alliance "Ten Thousand Swords United," known as "Emperor Sword," also received a prompt from the system and was now selecting five subordinates to fight alongside him.
Since he didn’t have many military officers and strategists under his command, only six or seven people were considered good enough, so he quickly chose five.
The first was a burly man with a yellow scarf around his head named Guan Hai, originally a leader of the Yellow Turban Army who was later defeated by the alliance of Ten Thousand Swords United.
After capturing Guan Hai, Emperor Sword was astonished when he saw Guan Hai’s attributes panel.
Because Guan Hai was actually a four-star-ranked famous general!!
The odds of this happening among foreign players is simply akin to winning the lottery!
Emperor Sword immediately transformed from being aloof and cool to acting like a "lapdog," softening up and ingratiating himself for days on end. He spared no expense in building a grand mansion for Guan Hai, showering him with charming beauties, gold, silver, and treasures. Finally, he managed to raise Guan Hai’s favorability towards him to 70, making him the strongest general under his command.
When news of this spread, Emperor Sword and his alliance, "Ten Thousand Swords United," were ablaze with excitement. Seeing Guan Hai chosen, Emperor Sword finally felt a bit relieved.
At the same time, he thought to himself, "Hmph! With General Guan Hai on my side, who needs to fear those bandits and pirates!"
"I can also take the lead in the Huaxia team. During the livestream, I’m sure many fangirls will be attracted to me. Haha!"
The second person chosen was a strategist named Wang Xiu, courtesy name Shuzhi. He was upright, suppressed local tyrants, had clear rewards and punishments, and was deeply loved by the people. He was also a four-star-ranked strategist, albeit towards the lower end of the four-star tier, but for Emperor Sword, he was a treasure among treasures.
This man was highly capable in strategy and possessed formidable magical skills. With him around, Emperor Sword could rest assured.
The other three were mediocre three-star military strategists, not worth mentioning.
In Jizhou,
The leader of the alliance "Tomorrow’s Dynasty," known as "Dynasty. King Shang Zhou," had already selected his five subordinates.
Among them were the Xianbei famous general Budegen and the Jizhou renowned general Zhang Liao.
King Shang Zhou’s face looked odd as he thought, "Long Chen, although we’re teammates now, I’d be delighted to see you fail..."
"Now that I have the four-star general Zhang Liao, I won’t fear you anymore!"
"This time, I not only want Huaxia to advance, but I also want to embarrass you in front of the Huaxia netizens!"
In Jingzhou,
The leader of "Mingjiao," "Zhang Wuji," was training his troops in the camp when he suddenly heard a voice in his mind.
During the selection phase, without hesitation, he chose his four-star strategist, the Southern Barbarian Chief Marshal Dusu, known as the wisest in the Southern Barbarian’s Tu Long Cave. Dusu was a painstaking acquisition from the Southern Barbarians, highly skilled in poison arts.
He also selected two four-star mediocre candidates for military positions, Hou Dang and Cheng Yin, and two three-star military officers.
