shi.jpg
They're coming at us one army at a time? This is going to be easier than I thought. Cavalry, charge out of the gates and flank them from behind!
02.jpg

03.jpg

04.jpg

05.jpg

06.jpg

shi.jpg
Liu Biao, your ambitions is without substance.
07.jpg

guard.jpg
Sir, that's Huang Zhong! A famed archer general!
shi.jpg
Flank and destroy.
08.jpg

shi.jpg
Even the sharpest knife is useless in the hands of an inept cook.
09.jpg

10.jpg

guanyu.jpg
My thoughts exactly.
11.jpg

12.jpg

13.jpg

15.jpg

14.jpg


Liu Biao didn't even breach the gates.

16.jpg

shi.jpg
Oh, what a surprise. Who are we allying with?
17.jpg

shi.jpg
Why? Why even bother?
guard.jpg
Here's your district assignment.
18.jpg

alvin.jpg
If you want to influence our lord's decisions, you need to be there during the council meetings.
shi.jpg
OH GEE I SHOULD BE THERE INSTEAD OF HERE, FIGHTING FOR OUR LIVES! KILLING THOUSANDS OF OUR ENEMIES LIKE ANIMALS.
guanyu.jpg
Viceroy. Do you seek more power?

There was no reply. Only a frown.

19.jpg


Tired of waiting, the defense force advanced forward and engaged the rest of Liu Biao's attacking army and decimated them completely in a few weeks of engagement.

20.jpg

alvin.jpg
That's the last of them. We've beaten them back for now.
shi.jpg
Damn it. Dong Zhuo is expanding again.
21.jpg

shi.jpg
Liu Zhang won't last long. They're going to take his entire territory in the southwest. We need to run an interference or else this will be the turning point for our western front.
alvin.jpg
You know it's not possible unless Lord Cao Cao secures a ceasefire with Yuan Shao.
shi.jpg
I know, that's what makes it so frustrating. My promotion's coming up. I might seek a ceasefire pact as a privilege.
guard.jpg
Report! Another coalition has been formed against us!

shi.jpg
Round two, dindu.
alvin.jpg
Let's do this.
zhangfei.jpg
We should all march towards Shouchun and teach that whelp another lesson!
guanyu.jpg
Viceroy, when do we march?
shi.jpg
If we march south, Yuan Shao will capitalize and retake Jibei. All that battle would be for nothing.
guanyu.jpg
Then, do you have a plan?
shi.jpg
Yes. Alkeides, you are to govern Qiao.
01.jpg

shi.jpg
Yue Jin, Xiapi is yours to command.
02.jpg

yuejin.jpg
Count on me, Viceroy.
shi.jpg
Xun Yu, Guangling is yours. Watch the borders for further attacks.
03.jpg

xunyu.jpg
I swear my devotion.
alvin.jpg
Viceroy, recently Lord Cao Cao has recruited an exceedingly capable naval officer. Could we perhaps request his transfer to your district?
shi.jpg
Why not? Do so.
shi.jpg
Once you arrive in your respective cities, I'll execute the plan.
xunyu.jpg
What plan?
shi.jpg
Messengers will be dispatched, all will be made clear. Dismissed.

Later that day...

shi.jpg
You're in charge of Military matters from now on. Don't let me down.
lumeng.jpg
I thank you for this responsibility.
shi.jpg
As your ruler, my first order would be to send my ambassadors to Yuan Shao and Liu Biao negotiate a cease fire.
02.jpg

03.jpg

lumeng.jpg
Cheng Yu and Jia Kui is assigned to the task.
shi.jpg
Good. I've an appointment with the Southlanders. You stay here and oversee matters in Puyang.
lumeng.jpg
Understood.
04.jpg

05.jpg

06.jpg

shi.jpg
Likewise, what is the matter?
wenchou.jpg
We hoped that you would release Yuan Tan.
shi.jpg
And what do I gain out of that?
wenchou.jpg
I - Master Yuan misses his son very much.
shi.jpg
Very well. I hope this gesture will mend old wounds between our armies. We shall release Yuan Tan at once.
wenchou.jpg
Really?! Thank you very much, Master Shi Difen!
07.jpg

68 - Two Roads
01.jpg

Sun Ce's army is divided into two. One trapped inside, rapidly losing men. And those outside, burning as they desperately assault the gates.
02.jpg

03.jpg

weiyan.jpg
A masterful trap.
taishici.jpg
The fire's out, assault the gates!
04.jpg

taishici.jpg
Fuuuuu-
05.jpg

shi.jpg
And that's the last of the inner army.
taishici.jpg
Their morale is too high! Hit their last camp!
06.jpg

shi.jpg
Turning your backs on us? Foolish.
taishici.jpg
Goddamit! They're sending cavalry to raid our main camp! With me! Hurry!
07.jpg

shi.jpg
All gates are down, but so what? You're divided in two. Everyone, pull back.
08.jpg

09.jpg

11.jpg


Outnumbered 3 to 1, there's no chance of victory.

12.jpg

shi.jpg
Why do you persist? Zhang Yan, finish it!
13.jpg

14.jpg

taishici.jpg
Sun Ce, forgive me.
15.jpg

taishici.jpg
Taishi Ci, has failed today!
16.jpg

17.jpg

18.jpg

zhangfei.jpg
What now, Commander?
guanyu.jpg
Sun Ce's army is broken. If we attack now, we can wipe them out.
shi.jpg
Zhou Yu's not here today. What a shame.

01.jpg

02.jpg

shi.jpg
I had no idea you have a son.
guanyu.jpg
He is my godson. He will grow to be a fine warrior.
shi.jpg
I believe you.
zhangfei.jpg
Shi Difen! Where do we attack now? Do we break Sun Ce, or capture Cao Cao?
shi.jpg
Why can't we do both?
03.jpg

zhangfei.jpg
Bwahahaha! I like this idea!
04.jpg


Sun Ce's army valiant resistance proved insufficient to prevent the loss of Lujiang, however Shi Difen's army dare not cross the waters into the Southlands.

zhangfei.jpg
Difen, why not?!
shi.jpg
We don't need the additional headache from naval combat. Trust me. Oh that reminds me. Guards! Send a letter to Lu Meng to recapture Jibei!
05.jpg

06.jpg

shi.jpg
Tell Liu Pi and Guan Ping of Chenliu to march as well!
guard.jpg
Yes, Sir!
07.jpg


Cao Cao's fate is sealed.

08.jpg

Mmmmm, Shi Difen would want to see this.

shi.jpg
(lol) Okay.
16.jpg

Tell Sun Ce, let's play again some time.
taishici.jpg
Understood. I thank you for your time.

Wang Kuang's Jibei crumbles under siege.

19.jpg


And Zhang Fei has successfully held off all Sun Ce's army attempt to retake Lujiang.

Why do the characters in this game look so Western? Faces I mean. This problem does not exist in Kung Fu movies.

shi.jpg
I did this to save us all.
cao.jpg
After all I did- No. It's pointless. Leave.
shi.jpg
The door is always open, Mengde.

The rest of Cao Cao's warriors were more than willing to move on. Sure, their liege was betrayed - but their deeds will live on and it's not like their new employer is an unproven ruler.

I know your father.

caopi.jpg
What does it matter?
12.jpg

shi.jpg
EVERYTHING IN ITS ENTIRETY!
13.jpg

caopi.jpg
W-what?!
shi.jpg
You think I desire this? Your father's arrogance forced my hand! The coalition would've slowly destroyed us all!
14.jpg

caopi.jpg
Ah, cowardice. The perfect excuse for traitors.
15.jpg

16.jpg

shi.jpg
Spare me. You were never there with us. With the rest of the men!
caopi.jpg
How dare you my father and I-
17.jpg

shi.jpg
Your father was content to leave everything to me. I saw a problem and THIS is the solution
18.jpg

shi.jpg
Had you the foresight and intellect to solve it, you would've intervened before this faithful servant had to commit treachery to save your father's kingdom!
19.jpg

20.jpg

shi.jpg
Please do all you can to make your father understand this too.
caopi.jpg
It will be difficult. But I shall try.

Xun Yu, the Benevolent Scholar forgave Difen's revolt.

21.jpg

shi.jpg
Welcome back, War Minister.
xunyu.jpg
I've misjudged you. This servant is ready to serve again once more.
shi.jpg
Good. Is there any more outstanding prisoners I need to deal with directly? I've already secured the services of the Xiahou Brothers.
xunyu.jpg
This may seem awkward, but I've stumbled upon a rare beauty while being transferred to my cell.
shi.jpg
Excuse me?
xunyu.jpg
Milord, this woman is young and she possess grace and beauty.
24.jpg

shi.jpg
What are you insinuating?
xunyu.jpg
Nothing untoward. She is blameless. Just an unfortunate person caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
shi.jpg
Then, I'll go see her right now.
25.jpg

26.jpg

27.jpg

28.jpg

shi.jpg
I'll see you at Puyang then.
lianshi.jpg
Milord. I depart.
xunyu.jpg
Isn't she a beauty?
shi.jpg
Yes. Can we move on?
xunyu.jpg
Well, one of the newest scholar is proving to be quite exceptional.
shi.jpg
What's his name? Don't we have you and Guo Jia already?
xunyu.jpg
He hails from a famed merchant clan, his name is Sima Yi, a master of stratagems and negotiations.
shi.jpg
Then he's the kind of person we need to tell Sun Ce to back off.
29.jpg

xunyu.jpg
Understood. Milord, with this, peace in Central Plains can be achieved.
shi.jpg
Yeah. That's good to hear.
xunyu.jpg
Best of luck between you and Bu Lianshi

71 - The Little Troubles
01.jpg

shi.jpg
With this peace, we can now consolidate our power in the Central Plains. My first order as Grand Minister: suppress Kong Rong! General Zhang Fei. Lead an army and hit them from the west!
02.jpg

03.jpg

04.jpg

05.jpg

shi.jpg
At the same time, Yue Jin will strike from the east with a smaller force to lure the defenders out.
06.jpg

07.jpg

08.jpg

09.jpg

10.jpg

shi.jpg
AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
yuanshu.jpg
What?
shi.jpg
I never thought I'd see the day. Yuan Shu, serving as Sun Ce's errand boy. How times have changed, huh?
yuanshu.jpg
If you're done belittling me, I have a message from Sun Ce.
shi.jpg
Well, out with it.
11.jpg

shi.jpg
Who's that?
xunyu.jpg
Grand Minister, she's Sun Ce's wife.
12.jpg

shi.jpg
Oh. We must've captured her in Lujiang.
13.jpg

shi.jpg
(Oh man, I wanna visit the dungeon so bad right now and NTR the fuck out of Sun Ce.)
yuanshu.jpg
Well? What is your answer?
14.jpg

shi.jpg
Return to your lord with this message: Cuck.
15.jpg

16.jpg

17.jpg

xunyu.jpg
Is that wise, provoking him like that?
shi.jpg
I'll release her on the next visit. I won't make it too easy for him to regain his woman.
xunyu.jpg
Speaking of spouses, how goes your courtship?
shi.jpg
Oh. That reminds me. I'll be going now.
18.jpg

19.jpg

shi.jpg
(She likes books, huh?)
20.jpg

shi.jpg
I'll take this.
merchant.jpg
Excellent choice, Grand Minister.
21.jpg

shi.jpg
It's me.
lianshi.jpg
Grand Minister. It is an honor.
22.jpg

23.jpg

24.jpg


While this courtship occurs, Kong Rong battles for his survival in Beihai.

33.jpg

25.jpg

shi.jpg
I'll visit you again tomorrow with a new book.
27.jpg

28.jpg

shi.jpg
Who's this guy?
29.jpg

shi.jpg
(Ah, just another civic official. I can let him go.)
30.jpg

31.jpg

32.jpg

xunyu.jpg
Grand Minister, may I ask a question?
shi.jpg
Go ahead.
xunyu.jpg
Why are you being so lenient to Yuan Shao?
shi.jpg
If you're suggesting an invasion to the Northlands, then I'll have to decline.
xunyu.jpg
Why not? He has raised three coalitions against our previous lord. And he may do so again.
shi.jpg
No, he won't. He's run out of excuses to attack. Keep him pacified, and his dynasty will slowly decline.
xunyu.jpg
If you say so, milord.

72 - Peace in Central Plains
01.jpg

02.jpg

shi.jpg
No, what about it.
lianshi.jpg
They had so many valuable scrolls and books, but now they're scattered all over. One in particular is very intriguing to me. It's called Chronicles of Lushi.
shi.jpg
Say no more, I'll try to find it for you.
lianshi.jpg
That's not what I meant- oh, never mind.
shi.jpg
(I tried looking at the local bookstore, but it doesn't have a copy, perhaps I should try a neighboring city.)
03.jpg

shi.jpg
Might as well conquer He Nei while I'm at it. Guards, send a message to Liu Bei of Xuchang and Guan Yu of Chenliu.
04.jpg

05.jpg

06.jpg

07.jpg

08.jpg

shi.jpg
Yes, that's the one.
merchant.jpg
You have a good eye for rare books.

I don't have much to offer you, but let me teach you our southern ways of navigating the river.
16.jpg

shi.jpg
That would be very helpful.
lianshi.jpg
By the way, where did you get the book?
shi.jpg
He Nei.
lianshi.jpg
Ah, that's nice. I should visit there some time.
shi.jpg
Yeah, it'll be nicer in a few month's time.
lianshi.jpg
What do you mean by that?
shi.jpg
The guards were rude to me. I had to sneak past them. But soon, that won't be the case.
17.jpg

lianshi.jpg
I don't quite understand, but okay.

His wedding was attended by a very special guest.

26.jpg


And a new minister was appointed later that day.

28.jpg


And to commemorate the joyful day, many titles were awarded that day.

29.jpg


And for a time, there was much happiness in the Central Plains.

General.
xiahoudun.jpg
Grand Minister.
shi.jpg
I haven't forgotten, you know.
xiahoudun.jpg
About what?
shi.jpg
That wonderful ancient wine you wanted to try.
xiahoudun.jpg
Do you really have the time?
shi.jpg
Anything for a friend.
02.jpg

03.jpg

shi.jpg
We owe it to our diplomats. They kept the peace so that we can engage in such leisurely trips.
xiahoudun.jpg
Forgive me for not believing in you. My vision was clouded back then.
shi.jpg
It's all in the past. Let's walk forward together as friends.
04.jpg


Deprived of allies, Wang Kuang's final stronghold finally falls and with it, any faint flicker of his ambitions.

07.jpg

08.jpg

05.jpg

06.jpg

lumeng.jpg
It's about an old friend. He came to my aid in a time of great need. I heard their village came under attack by bandits, and I haven't heard from them since.
shi.jpg
I can see why you might be worried.
lumeng.jpg
It would be a grave stain of my honor if I could not render assistance in their time of need. But my duties prevent me from seeking them out. Would you be willing to find him if you're in the area?
shi.jpg
Certainly. Tell me where to start looking.
lumeng.jpg
Try Jibei. If you see him, tell him that Lu Meng is always there if he needs me.
10.jpg

11.jpg


The man explained that he is in fine health and was grateful for Lu Meng's offer his assistance. He quickly wrote a letter in response, telling his old friend not to worry.

12.jpg

shi.jpg
That's what friends are for.
lumeng.jpg
To tell you the truth, I came to your employ in very awkward circumstances, but I've always heard good things about you. And now I know why. Lu Meng is proud to count you as one of his friends.
13.jpg


And now a visit to an old friend.

14.jpg

shi.jpg
Minister Cao Cao.
cao.jpg
Grand Minister. You have to excuse me for not entertaining you with a more lavish welcome.
shi.jpg
No matter. I'm glad you've changed your mind.
cao.jpg
Don't be so grateful. I did this for myself.
shi.jpg
Yes. I would've done the same if I were you.
cao.jpg
So. What now, o Grand Minister?
shi.jpg
What do you mean?
09.jpg

cao.jpg
Your immediate enemies are pacified, your people are happy and united. Is it not time to finish what you started?
shi.jpg
I intend to.
cao.jpg
Good. Very good. Leave me. I am very busy.
shi.jpg
I'll just leave the wine here then.

Governor. Is everything alright?
chengyu.jpg
What an unusual sight, Grand Minister. Are you on an inspection tour of sorts?
shi.jpg
Yes, I'm headed to Changan. Forgive me for not visiting as often.
chengyu.jpg
It is no trouble, the Central Plains would be a lot more chaotic without you around. Safe journeys, milord.
shi.jpg
Chengyu, please accept this gift. Your long service should be rewarded.
15.jpg

shi.jpg
Then, farewell.

Governor Chen, status report.
chendeng.jpg
The Emperor is calm and composed by your arrival, Grand Minister. Our garrison stands ready to fight.
shi.jpg
Very good. What preparations have you made for our defenses?
chendeng.jpg
The siege workshop has completed the designs on Catapults. Our troops can deploy them as needed.
shi.jpg
Very well. Excellent work. I shall now visit the officers in this city.
04.jpg

06.jpg

shi.jpg
(What a motley bunch. I need to transfer better officers in the future.)
07.jpg

shi.jpg
Alright. Planning time is over! Let's fight!
08.jpg

shi.jpg
The servant of Han knows no retreat! PREPARE YOURSELVES!
10.jpg

11.jpg

chendeng.jpg
Grand Minister, Dong Zhuo's 46,300 elite cavalry is here with Zhang Liao.
shi.jpg
The rest will be here soon. Tell the men to erect the defenses.
12.jpg

dongzhuo.jpg
Zhang Liao, destroy their camps!
zhangliao.jpg
At once, milord!
13.jpg

chendeng.jpg
Are we just going to let them destroy our camps?
shi.jpg
Going outside now would be suicide. Look, trouble is here.
14.jpg

15.jpg

chendeng.jpg
Gulp.
shi.jpg
Stay in your positions. A mistake can cost your lives. Cao Hong, with me!
caohong.jpg
Bwa-ha-ha! Right with you, mate!
dongzhuo.jpg
Tell Lu Bu to guard our main camp, and the rest to prepare the siege engine.
zhangliao.jpg
Alert! The enemy approach!
dongzhuo.jpg
What?
16.jpg

17.jpg

18.jpg

dongzhuo.jpg
Shi Difen?! He's in Changan?! BURN HIS CAMPS DOWN! TEAR DOWN HIS FLAG!
19.jpg

chendeng.jpg
B-both camps have fallen.
shi.jpg
And we've lost no men. We're doing good.
20.jpg

21.jpg

guard.jpg
The flames! AAIIEEEE!
dongzhuo.jpg
Ignore it! Scale the walls! With me!
22.jpg

chendeng.jpg
They're coming.
shi.jpg
SIEGE ENGINES! FIRE!
23.jpg

dongzhuo.jpg
What is this?! Are these not siege engines?! And they've put them BEHIND walls?!
guard.jpg
We're under fire from all sides!
shi.jpg
Not one step backwards! The line is here!
24.jpg

zhangxiu.jpg
My goodness, Lord Dong is already at the walls. Lu Bu, why are you not with your father?
lubu.jpg
Father says I should guard the camp, so guard I shall. Besides, a hero always makes the last possible entry.
zhangxiu.jpg
I pray you are right on this. Men! Attack!

02.jpg

With the catastrophic loss of 200,000 men in Chang An, Dong Zhuo's army is in dire state of collapse.

shi.jpg
They've marched right into suicide. I couldn't have asked for a better start to my Western Campaign! Send out the messengers!
03.jpg

shi.jpg
Alkeides will lead 36,000 men to Shangyong!
04.jpg

05.jpg

shi.jpg
Instruct the Xiahou brothers to march from Puyang to Tianshui!

Us three shall proceed to Anding.

Sir! We've marched too fast for the two armies to keep up.
shi.jpg
It's fine. We'll establish early control of the battlefield.

Back off.

Damn RK47, you are a fucking machine!
5185.jpg
It appears my identity is compromised.
How do you even manage so many updates in so short a time? I know I get exhausted just uploading pictures for and formatting just one similar update to the kind that you are spewing out in short order...
I play this game too much. I mean, when I go to work on Monday after a weekend of play, I had to let the laptop download 1500 image files to my dropbox.

Those 2000 raw image backlogs are real and sometimes I just power thru the updates to get on with the game instead of playing thru and burning out when I had to trace the update progress over 2000 images in one go.

I do confess, it's way easier to update battles because what occurs is a very clear cause and effect. However, when delving into character interactions and strategic planning, sometimes the reasoning isn't very clear and direct at first, because I want to maintain that 'twist' moment in the narrative. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work. But overall, both the most horrid and satisfying experience is the First Coalition War update since I literally had to pause the game for 15 minutes, vent in an empty room and pull out a notebook to draw up a plan. Fuck that insanity and that's why I channeled the butthurt into the narrative.

If you ask me the AI is too suicidal. KOEI needs to add a switch to understand being outnumbered 2 to 1 when doing offensive siege is an automatic loss. It's better to retreat instead of facing a total annihilation and subsequent death of garrisons that Dong Zhuo is facing right now.

The dam burst. And now they're going to drown.

No enemies came to break my siege? Too easy!

Even Liu Zhang dare to mount an assault on Zitong.
