16 - Luo Yang Ablaze
01.jpg

dong.jpg
Split into two and attack both gates at once! Teach this fool a lesson!

A force of 38,000 marches upon the 2,000 defenders of Luo Yang. Only a fool would bet on the defenders to survive this attack.

02.jpg

03.jpg

dong.jpg
A flame attack?! How dare you, bedseller!
shi.jpg
Retreat into the city walls!
04.jpg

05.jpg

alvin.jpg
Perimeter camps are falling rapidly, morale is dwindling, they've scaled the eastern walls!
shi.jpg
Just tell those fixed defenses to keep firing!
06.jpg

dongmin.jpg
Uwaaaarghhhh, how many of them are behind the gates?! We've taken heavy losses!
07.jpg

dong.jpg
Li Ru! What is going on? Did we really lose 12,000 men and is that 2000 all they had for defense?!
liru.jpg
I- I...
shi.jpg
FIRE!
08.jpg

08.jpg

liru.jpg
Now I remember! He's the man responsible for the Qiao Inferno!
dong.jpg
You could've told me earlier! Forget the main camp! DESTROY THAT PUNY FORCE! CORNER HIM!
09.jpg

shi.jpg
This is the end...
alvin.jpg
Hang on, the wall's just up ahead!

Dong Zhuo's army found no foes within the walls, only blazing inferno. Thousands more perish as the indiscriminate flames spread.

10.jpg

11.jpg

dong.jpg
There he is! Up the wall!
12.jpg

shi.jpg
Hahhahaa...come.
13.jpg

shi.jpg
Alkeides. Let's have K-BBQ again sometime.
14.jpg

alvin.jpg
Steve!
15.jpg


20,000 men perished in that battle.

01.jpg

dong.jpg
Well? Has he turned up anywhere else?
liru.jpg
No. The blaze and subsequent chaos made it hard for the soldiers to find anyone specific. Cao Xing did engage his second-in-command, Alkeides but there was no confirmed kill...
dong.jpg
Hmph! One insect down. And his little toady, Omega 21?
liru.jpg
He may be out of the city when the attack happened. Shall I send a party to hunt him down?
dong.jpg
Enough! We are done here. I am already sickened with this burning smell! Let us return to Chang An. There's nothing left here but a pathetic show of defiance from an upstart. Post minimal guards and send some low ranking officers here to keep watch. That is all.
liru.jpg
At once, Crown Prince Dong!
13.jpg

03.jpg

04.jpg

shi.jpg
(Alkeides, where are you? No...calm down. I need to reach the nearest city not under Dong Zhuo's banner...)
01.jpg

02.jpg

luzhi.jpg
W-who are you? And what's with this most haggard appeareance?
shi.jpg
Forgive me, daren. I recently lost a battle against Dong Zhuo in Luo Yang.
wangkuang.jpg
A battle? Han Hao, is this true?
hanhao.jpg
So you're the one behind the second razing!
wangkuang.jpg
You fought Dong Zhuo? Alone?
shi.jpg
My sworn brother was with me, but we were separated during the rout.
luzhi.jpg
How many men did you have and how many did he bring?
shi.jpg
I had 2,000 peasants and volunteers I drafted from Luo Yang. Dong Zhuo brought 38,000.
luzhi.jpg
This is a rather massive claim you have. What proof do you have of this deed?
hanhao.jpg
Lu Zhi, do not be rude. The fleeing villagers from Luo Yang said something similar... an officer left Dong Zhuo's service to rebuild Luo Yang with his two brothers. It must be him.
wangkuang.jpg
Then he is a defender of common folk. What is your name?
shi.jpg
My name is Shi Difen.
wangkuang.jpg
Well then, Shi Difen, I welcome you to my army.
shi.jpg
I thank you for the warm welcome, Wang daren.
03.jpg

shi.jpg
(Omega. Alk, I hope you guys are okay.)

20 - Reignited
06.jpg

shi.jpg
(Wang Kuang's force is too weak to challenge Dong Zhuo directly. But the northern lords are almost of equal strength. I must find a way to unite them under one cause.)
guard.jpg
Shi Difen! Wang daren summons you.
04.jpg

shi.jpg
(Eh?)
hanhao.jpg
We've heard of your military exploits during the Yellow Turban rebellion. You probably have the most experience of warfare in this court.
luzhi.jpg
This is a great responsibility. Do not disappoint Wang daren.
shi.jpg
(I have a sword! I have a sword! Yes! I have a sword!) I will do my utmost to defeat our foes!
wangkuang.jpg
Very good. I trust you will prepare a plan to guard us against Dong Zhuo?
shi.jpg
Our best defense is an offence.
luzhi.jpg
hanhao.jpg
!?
shi.jpg
I've pondered the possibility of diplomacy to form a northern coalition, but remembering Yuan Shao's ill-fated alliance I decided to go for plan B.
wangkuang.jpg
And that is?
shi.jpg
Might makes right.
07.jpg

shi.jpg
Zhang Yang commands less officers and troops. In this world, the weak gets swallowed by the strong. Are you with me?!
08.jpg

hanhao.jpg
Wang Daren! Shi Difen speaks the truth!
luzhi.jpg
I worry what the rest of the lords would think of our expansion.
shi.jpg
The rest harbors the same ambitions. Cao Cao is devouring the Central Plains. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan vies for power in the north. Are you going to meekly toil the fields and wait for your turn to submit?
wangkuang.jpg
Say no more, Difen! Ready the men! We march!
09.jpg

10.jpg

shi.jpg
My will is burning. Onward!
11.jpg

12.jpg

13.jpg


Zhang Yang put up a spirited defense, but his lack of alliances, officers and manpower meant defeat is only a matter of time.

18.jpg

19.jpg

20.jpg

hanhao.jpg
We've won! All hail Wang daren!
guard.jpg
Long live Wang daren!
22.jpg

shi.jpg
Milord, it is merely the beginning. I shan't stop until the entire north is under your banner.
23.jpg

24.jpg

hanhao.jpg
We've captured Zhang yang and all of his officers.
shi.jpg
I shall persuade them to join our cause.
wangkuang.jpg
Splendid. I shall return to He Nei and await the good news.
luzhi.jpg
Wang daren seems very pleased today.
wangkuang.jpg
How can I not? Lu Zhi, ever since I've lost Pan Feng to Lu Bu's blade, I was in despair. But today, I can believe again! Yes. We can!
25.jpg

26.jpg


As Wang Kuang secures his second stronghold, the rest of the Central Plains begin to spring into action.

22 - Greedy Fool

cao.jpg
At last. We meet again, Shi Difen.
shi.jpg
Cao daren. It is an honor.
cao.jpg
You honor me by joining me. Come. My clan needs you.
shi.jpg
No. I cannot do that.
cao.jpg
Are you happy here?
shi.jpg
I am content. I'm still searching for my brothers, but I have a purpose.
cao.jpg
I asked: are you happy here?
shi.jpg
No, because Dong Zhuo is still alive.
cao.jpg
Then come. We both know I have the best chance of defeating Dong Zhuo. My clan is made up of great warriors, the Xiahou brothers. You've heard of them, yes? But you...you're not a simple blade. Your wound cuts deeper. It spreads, like an infectious flame.
shi.jpg
Cao daren, there is something very important. Something that I cannot forsake to join you.
cao.jpg
Oh, you intrigue me. What is this thing?
shi.jpg
My end of season bonus.
cao.jpg
AHAHAHAAHA! Wait. You are serious?
shi.jpg
*nods*
cao.jpg
Shi Difen! You amuse me. We shall meet again.
caohong.jpg
Cousin. How did it go?
cao.jpg
He wants to wait for his seasonal honor bonus.
caohong.jpg
Ludicrous cretin! Does he not understand the honor he stands to gain from joining our cause?
cao.jpg
Cao Hong, you are too simple-minded.
caohong.jpg
Cousin? Why the insult? I don't understand.
cao.jpg
Do not mistake him for a greedy simpleton. That is all.

Thank you all, it was made possible by all of you trusting in me.

Yes, I think you've proven yourself well.

And so, Shi Difen's deeds within Wang Kuang's court grew greater still.

24 - Redeeming the Gift Certificate
01.jpg

shi.jpg
Zhang Yan's serious about attacking us. But look at the quality of his officers. Pitiful.
02.jpg

hanhao.jpg
Give us the orders.
03.jpg

wangkuang.jpg
Difen, you are not going?
shi.jpg
I have some commerical venture to take care of. Once I've delivered the bedsheets I'll join you all in battle.
04.jpg

05.jpg

shi.jpg
Okay. Time to go. Send a message to Shang Dang to mobilize a defense force as well.
guard.jpg
Yes, sir!
06.jpg

07.jpg

shi.jpg
Time for me to go as well.
08.jpg

09.jpg

shi.jpg
Mmm, they don't look like they need my help at all.
10.jpg

11.jpg

hanhao.jpg
They were manageable, just as you said, War Minister!
shi.jpg
No time to rest, resupply at Shang Dang and we'll mount a counter-attack!
hanhao.jpg
Hear that? Time to make those bastards pay!
12.jpg

13.jpg

shi.jpg
I don't know why they bothered coming out here with sub-standard officers! But we'll take this victory! No apologies! Annihilate them!
16.jpg


Elsewhere, Gongsun Zan subjugated Gongsun Du and unified his clan.

14.jpg


Zhang Yan mounts a desperate defense, but it was futile. Repeated attempts to delay the attacking force came to naught as his stronghold came under siege.

17.jpg


Down in Central Plains, Yuan Shu makes another bold step to expand.

18.jpg

19.jpg

shi.jpg
(Not good, we're almost out of fried chicken.)

A few thousand men deserted as supplies dwindled, but the city falls eventually.

20.jpg

hanhao.jpg
We came close to a military disaster, but we pulled it off in the end!
shi.jpg
Mmm. Let's return to He Nei with the good news.
22.jpg

23.jpg

wangkuang.jpg
Shi Difen! I'm so pleased at your victory! Come let us throw a banquet!
24.jpg

25.jpg

wangkuang.jpg
Ah, Difen! I am so happy today. How can things ever get any better?
shi.jpg
Once Dong Zhuo is defeated, Wang daren. I assure you, things will get even better.
wangkuang.jpg
Ah yes, of course. That tyrant! Soon, we'll mass enough army to cross the river and reclaim Luo Yang. A toast to the resurrection of Han!
luzhi.jpg
hanhao.jpg
Cheers!
shi.jpg
Comrades, I must retire to my bed today to rest. Enjoy the feast.

25 - An Irresistible Offer
00.jpg

shi.jpg
No, but I'll join my brother.
alvin.jpg
Then let's ride back to Pu Yang.
shi.jpg
Let me pen a letter to Wang Kuang first.

Later...
wangkuang.jpg
No! I don't believe this! I gave him everything!
hanhao.jpg
...
luzhi.jpg
He was swayed by his sworn brother. It can't be helped, daren.
wangkuang.jpg
At least, he left me two cities as a farewell gift.
02.jpg

shi.jpg
Mmm. *salutes*
alvin.jpg
That's General Xiahou Dun, he's probably one of the top ranked officers in Cao Cao's army.
shi.jpg
What about me?
01.jpg

shi.jpg
I shall give my best.

The role of domestic minister is unlike a war minister, it has no jurisdiction over military affairs.

shi.jpg
(No matter. I'm no longer in a pool full of ugly ducklings. I must stand out more or fall under the shadows of the rest.)

03.jpg

04.jpg


At last, the reward came.

05.jpg

shi.jpg
Thank you. I swear the city shall never fall.
cao.jpg
I always acknowledge talent. I've put your sworn brother under your direct command as well.
shi.jpg
I see. I shall make haste.
cao.jpg
Mmmm.

However, his reunion had to be delayed. Upon reaching Pu Yang, he was swamped by proposals from officers under his care.

06.jpg

08.jpg

09.jpg

shi.jpg
(If I don't accept these proposals, it would ruin my relations with these officers, and nothing would get done.)
shi.jpg
I approve all of it!
10.jpg

shi.jpg
(As a governor, I have full control over domestic and military affairs. It's time we capture Xu Chang!)
11.jpg

shi.jpg
(Alright. I'm done for the day.)
xiahoudun.jpg
Difen. Come with me. I have something to show you.
shi.jpg
General Dun. Can this wait?
xiahoudun.jpg
No. It can't.
shi.jpg
I suppose.
16.jpg

17.jpg

18.jpg

01.jpg

With the capture of a third city, Cao Cao's army begin to rapidly increase in numbers.
Pu Yang is also undergoing a massive development under its new government.

shi.jpg
(With so much work being done, it's only a matter of time before my underlings build a solid rapport with me.)
02.jpg

03.jpg

04.jpg

05.jpg

shi.jpg
Ha? Really, why don't we share it instead?
caohong.jpg
I'd be glad to, Governor!
omega.jpg
Governor, we have a lot of constructions to be done. Please indicate your choice before I tell the workmen to proceed.
06.jpg

shi.jpg
A trading post would improve the quality of goods available in store.
07.jpg

shi.jpg
A granary would rapidly increase farm development, but if I build a Great Farm I can purchase supplies in case of emergencies.
08.jpg

shi.jpg
Observatory for quicker development.
omega.jpg
Very good. Our recent scholarships have unlocked a new improvement as well! What upgrade shall we pursue?
09.jpg

shi.jpg
We don't need the Gate Reinforcement. Recovery would help with the wounded...but, I rather improve our training facilities.
10.jpg

11.jpg

12.jpg

shi.jpg
(Hardly a day off...)
alvin.jpg
The construction of trading post is complete, why not have a look at their inventory?
shi.jpg
Good idea.
13.jpg

shi.jpg
Whoah...this is bloody expensive. But good. Shopkeeper, I'll take this!
14.jpg


Cao Cao's expanding influence attracted the Emperor's eyes.

16.jpg

17.jpg

19.jpg

shi.jpg
(Mmm. This is good. Time for my nightly drinks with Cao Hong.)
18.jpg


Another day while passing by the store, I spotted a pair of mace.

20.jpg

shi.jpg
Looks useful. I'll take it. Also, give me the two bottle of cheap wine as well. Cao Hong would love it.
31.jpg

shi.jpg
It was nothing. I owe all this to your great cousin.
caohong.jpg
I was wrong about you, Difen. When I heard you rejected Ah Man's invitation, I thought you stupid and arrogant, mate. These days... not so much.
shi.jpg
Say no more.
caohong.jpg
No, mate! I apologize! I insist! You've been a great governor and a true friend! Which is why I'm inviting you on this special hobby of mine: drinking!
shi.jpg
Uh...what?
caohong.jpg
I came across this ancient script. It spoke of a legendary wine! But I'm not too bright, mate.
shi.jpg
"Beyond the rugged western peak, an ancient elixir of the gods lies hidden."
caohong.jpg
Well?
shi.jpg
It must be Mount Hua. Let's start our search near there.
caohong.jpg
Mount Hua? That's near Chang An! Let's go!

22 days later...
21.jpg

shi.jpg
It's been a while...
22.jpg

23.jpg

shi.jpg
I'm just hoping Dong Zhuo's men don't find me here.
25.jpg

shi.jpg
We're looking for a legendary wine.
old.jpg
Is this what you're looking for? *passes a small jar*
caohong.jpg
Let me smell it. *Sniff* WO DE TIAN LAH! This is it! This is the legendary wine, mate! A smell unlike any other, a hint of umami and other flavorful stuff.
shi.jpg
Cao Hong, don't start chugging it here! Thanks old ma- Hey. Where'd he go?
caohong.jpg
Who cares, mate?! Difen, let's go home and sip on this till the sun goes down!
26.jpg

shi.jpg
Any time, Cao Hong. Any time.
27.jpg

28.jpg

omega.jpg
Welcome back. You've been gone for a long time, bro. I've a person of interest to recruit.
29.jpg

shi.jpg
Xun Yu? The benevolent scholar? I think it's a perfect job for you, Omega.
omega.jpg
Say no more, brother.

27 - We wuz kangz

01.jpg

Direct orders are often given by the ruler to every governor. It could be hitting domestic development goals, or a city assault like this one. There's a time limit for its completion, failing to do that means a loss of merit.

02.jpg

shi.jpg
(No problem. They have too few officers to mount a challenge.)
omega.jpg
Steve, I've brought back Xun Yu!
03.jpg

shi.jpg
This is good.

Xun Yu is a talented strategist, and people like him should be appointed to Minister position to enjoy the bonuses it would bring. However, newly joined free officers with no previous fame comes in with zero merit and lowest rank, hence I can't appoint him as a minister just yet.

04.jpg


These ministers actually provide an additional slot for assignments for your city, and if they have 90 on the required stat (INT/GOV/LEA) they would provide twice the slot. As a governor you can manually select two assignments and accept/reject any proposal but it still doesn't solve the issue that at least 75% of the city development is fully dependent on AI proposals and as I've said earlier, rejecting proposals leads to bad rapport. This is a quirky feature IMO.

For now, we'll just make use of him in other ways.

05.jpg


Bringing villages under our control will grant the nearby cities bonuses. I don't know how much 40,000 population means in terms of gameplay, but 40,000 sounds like a big number.

06.jpg

07.jpg


:lol: Go cuck yourself.

08.jpg


This should be enough.

09.jpg

10.jpg

11.jpg


Yu Jin leads a cavalry charge to raid our main camp. But there's no way he can deal enough damage before we return.

12.jpg

alvin.jpg
Witness the power of our brotherhood!
13.jpg


Flanked, surrounded, Yu Jin's cavalry never really stood a chance.

14.jpg

15.jpg

16.jpg

17.jpg

shi.jpg
Alright, let's wrap up this party!

Across the river, Yuan Shao's army makes his move toward's Han Fu's stronghold.

18.jpg

shi.jpg
(I wish you the best of luck, Wang Kuang daren.)
19.jpg

guard.jpg
Milord, message from Pu Yang!
20.jpg

cao.jpg
Hahahaha. I knew I made the right choice.
21.jpg

22.jpg

23.jpg


Both forces were not the only ones making their move that month. In the south, a certain little conqueror plots his move.

01.jpg

02.jpg

shi.jpg
(An alliance with Yuan Shao? Not a bad idea. Things will go smoothly for the two clans if that is achieved.)
03.jpg

shi.jpg
Of course.
04.jpg

shi.jpg
(I should pay him a visit.)
05.jpg

cao.jpg
Oh, Difen. You're here for the council meeting. Very good. How is everything in Pu Yang?
shi.jpg
The city is prosperous and soon we'll be ready to retake Luo Yang.
cao.jpg
Mmm. One step closer to freeing the Emperor. I cannot wait to see how you fare against Dong Zhuo on even ground.
shi.jpg
If Cao Cao daren do not mind, would you share with me a few strategies?
cao.jpg
Not at all, let us discuss strategy.
06.jpg

07.jpg

cao.jpg
As all of you have known, I've decided upon securing an alliance between us and Yuan Shao's Army. I forbid any of you to attack them while negotiations are underway. And now, we shall discuss city policy. First, Pu Yang. State your proposals.
08.jpg

09.jpg

10.jpg

10a.jpg

10b.jpg


My lack of familiarity with the senior officers showed, none of them voted for my proposal. And it seems a small majority voted for Dian Wei's proposal.

11.jpg

12.jpg


The two officer began to debate, but it's obvious who'll win the end. Dian Wei may be popular among the warriors, but his intellect is no match to Xiahou Dun.

13.jpg


In the end, Cao Cao was swayed and handed me the domestic assignment.

14.jpg

xiahoudun.jpg
Jibei was your handiwork, wasn't it?
shi.jpg
Yes, but I didn't do it alone.
xiahoudun.jpg
Keep it up, new guy. I look forward to the good news.

In the north, Gongsun Zan expands once more.

15.jpg


Another banner falls.

16.jpg


Pu Yang
18.jpg

shi.jpg
From now on all three of you are my ministers.
omega.jpg
yuejin.jpg
alvin.jpg
We won't let you down.
shi.jpg
Just keep the officers in line and maintain order.
omega.jpg
I've checked the new city policy. I guess we better start dishing out domestic assignments, huh?
shi.jpg
Not necessarily. We're going to assign half of the officers to domestic work, while we assault Hu Lao Gate.
yuejin.jpg
I fail to see how this corresponds with the City Policy.
shi.jpg
Surely you've heard the news? Our army is negotiating an alliance with Yuan Shao's army. That will keep our northern borders secure. Tao Qian is unlikely to attack, nor will Wang Kuang. This is our best chance to expend our military force with no fear of retaliation.
20.jpg

alvin.jpg
What you say makes sense. Shall I ready the men?
shi.jpg
Yue Jin, are you afraid of Lu Bu?
yuejin.jpg
Governor! You've really done it now! I volunteer myself to be in this mission!
shi.jpg
Then let's go. It's payback time!
21.jpg

caohong.jpg
A chance to face Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo himself?! BWAHAHAH! Wait till Cao Ren hears about this!
shi.jpg
Hold on tight to those siege ladders, Cao Hong. We're going to need it.
caohong.jpg
Count on it, mate.
22.jpg

guard.jpg
Report! Pu Yang has deployed its garrison and is now marching towards Hu Lao Gate!
cao.jpg
Very well. Dismissed.
xiahoudun.jpg
This guy! We instructed him to develop a city and he attacks Dong Zhuo instead?
cao.jpg
Yuanrang, pay attention. This guy is about to put Yuan Shao to shame.

29 - Let us revert!
01.jpg

shi.jpg
No sign of Lu Bu or Dong Zhuo. This is strange.
omega.jpg
This is good, no?
shi.jpg
Heh, second brother, are you afraid?
omega.jpg
No lah! Any advantage is always welcome in battle.
alvin.jpg
To call this an advantage is a bit premature. We're about to be outnumbered.
yuejin.jpg
Then let's do our best and give them hell!
02.jpg

shi.jpg
Those fools are waiting for reinforcements. Cao Hong, take out the left encampment. The rest follow me to the right encampment!
03.jpg

04.jpg

05.jpg

shi.jpg
There they are! Deal with the cavalry units quickly!
06.jpg

shi.jpg
Twenty thousand enemy cavalry just joined the fight! Fight harder!
07.jpg

08.jpg

alvin.jpg
First blood!
09.jpg

yuejin.jpg
Bring out Lu Bu if you want to stand a chance!!
10.jpg

11.jpg

12.jpg

caohong.jpg
WAHAHAHAHAH REKT! I'M COMING, MATES!
alvin.jpg
Now is the time! Give them no ground!
13.jpg

14.jpg

caohong.jpg
Look at all this carnage! DIFEN! I gotta say: YER THE BEST!
15.jpg

16.jpg

17.jpg

shi.jpg
They've fallen back into the walls! Cao Hong! It's now or never!
18.jpg

caohong.jpg
One siege ladder, coming right up, mate!
alvin.jpg
Scale the walls! Let's go!
19.jpg

20.jpg

21.jpg

22.jpg

shi.jpg
Hu Lao gate is ours! Long live Han!
23.jpg

dongcheng.jpg
Damn it! If only Lu Bu was here!

30 - Reclamation
01.jpg

02.jpg

shi.jpg
How humble! Rest up and get ready for the next battle!
03.jpg

04.jpg

shi.jpg
(Still no sign of Lu Bu. What is going on?)
yuejin.jpg
A small force of 6,500 is attempting to slow our progress. Your orders?
shi.jpg
Destroy them.
05.jpg


Jia Xu also mounts another delaying action just outside Luo Yang, to no avail.

06.jpg

07.jpg

dongmin.jpg
Unbelievable! It's really you! I thought you were dead!
08.jpg

shi.jpg
Don't stop now! Luo Yang awaits!
09.jpg

10.jpg

shi.jpg
New orders? Does that mean the alliance with Yuan Shao is secured?
guard.jpg
Yes, milord.
11.jpg

shi.jpg
Very well. Resume the siege!
12.jpg

yuejin.jpg
Gao Shun is here with 11,000 men!
shi.jpg
Engage!
13.jpg

omega.jpg
Whoa, they call this a ruin, but look at those defenses.
shi.jpg
No rushing! Take this slow.
14.jpg

15.jpg

shi.jpg
Enemy camp down! Attack the gates everyone!
16.jpg

yuejin.jpg
Sir! Xu Rong is attempting to destroy our main encampment!
17.jpg

shi.jpg
Take care of him!
18.jpg

alvin.jpg
Gao Shun is at the gates, I shall hold him back!
19.jpg

yuejin.jpg
Get off my camp, trash!
20.jpg

21.jpg

yuejin.jpg
We return to the Commander at the gates!
22.jpg

23.jpg

shi.jpg
Cao Hong! Avenge the fallen!
24.jpg

shi.jpg
Gate is down! Siege ladder now!
25.jpg

26.jpg

yuejin.jpg
The old capital's ours!
alvin.jpg
Well fought glory to the winner!
28.jpg

omega.jpg
I can't believe we're back here, after so many months...
shi.jpg
Well, don't stop now. Let's resupply and take control of Hangu Gate.
yuejin.jpg
Yes, Commander!
29.jpg

shi.jpg
(Once the gate down, Hong Nong is next. Then...)

Shi Difen's rush towards Chang An seems unstoppable. Until an unexpected news from Pu Yang caught everyone off guard.

31 - Filial Piety
02.jpg

shi.jpg
This is it! Take control of this gate and Luo Yang will be safe from that monster, Dong Zhuo!

Dong Zhuo's troops were too weak to mount a resistance.

03.jpg

04.jpg

shi.jpg
Ah! The time has come to destroy Dong Zhuo!
05.jpg

shi.jpg
?! Attack Tao Qian? What is the meaning of this?
guard.jpg
Governor Tao Qian's underling, Zhang Kai murdered Lord Cao Cao's father, Cao Song! Our lord demands vengeance! No citizens shall be spared!
shi.jpg
This isn't right. We're so close to the Emperor!
alvin.jpg
What are your orders?
06.jpg

shi.jpg
Sigh. Take the gate and fall back to Pu Yang.
07.jpg


To the north, Yuan Shao begins his northern conquest against Gongsun Zan.

08.jpg

shi.jpg
(I need to press X and pay my respects.)
09.jpg

shi.jpg
(No matter. I'll do it next time. Time to return home.)
10.jpg

12.jpg

shi.jpg
A few distinguished officers are ready for ministerial positions, it is with a heavy heart that I must replace you two with those of greater abilities.
omega.jpg
yuejin.jpg
We understand and accept your decision.
11.jpg


With Cheng Yu and Xun Yu, I can nearly double the assignments given to the city, though it is still subject to their proposals.

01.jpg

shi.jpg
Liu Bei and Tao Qian. This is going to take up our resources.

32 - Lies and Greed
01.jpg

shi.jpg
What a shame.
yuejin.jpg
Governor, I take my leave. It's been an honor serving under you.
shi.jpg
I'll visit you from time to time.
guard.jpg
Governor, you are also summoned to Xu Chang for a Council meeting.
shi.jpg
I'll be there. Ready my horse.
02.jpg

shi.jpg
Gee, I've had bad luck too. How about you lend me some money instead?
03.jpg

04.jpg

shi.jpg
Blaming your business losses on luck? Might as well become a gambler lah!
merchant.jpg
Eh, si ginna! Some things are out of control lah! There are good and bad times. I just need a small sum to tide me over.
shi.jpg
Then work for someone else till you're ready to try again!
05.jpg

merchant.jpg
I- I can't! It's too shameful!
shi.jpg
Then why do you shamelessly ask a complete stranger for a loan?! Get a job!
06.jpg

merchant.jpg
Ai-aiyah... You make me so pai seh. I get it. I'll...stop trying for now and drive a carriage instead.
shi.jpg
It's an honest living.

shi.jpg
(I'll just take commerce since I can delegate those duties to Xun Yu and Omega.)
11.jpg

12.jpg

13.jpg

shi.jpg
Milord.
cao.jpg
What is it?
shi.jpg
May I?
cao.jpg
Follow me.
14.jpg

shi.jpg
Pardon me for not visiting earlier.
cao.jpg
It's fine. Affairs of the state should take precedent before personal ones.
shi.jpg
Congratulations, Cao Cao daren.
cao.jpg
?!
shi.jpg
Xu province will be yours soon and no one can hate you for taking it.
cao.jpg
AHAHAHAHA! Difen!
shi.jpg
Daren?
cao.jpg
Let us practice swordplay!
15.jpg

16.jpg

17.jpg

18.jpg

19.jpg

shi.jpg
You..you're too strong.
cao.jpg
Be patient. You'll surpass me soon, and what you've said earlier. Don't tell anyone else.
shi.jpg
Understood.
20.jpg


Shi Difen's Army never made an advance towards Chang An for the rest of the season, giving time for Dong Zhuo's army to recover. However, this delay costed another clan dearly in the northwest.
