Standalone Northern and Southern Dynasties

Chapter 50 Formation New Features (4k)

After reviewing the records in detail, Su Ze saw the overall plan of the Mahayana sect.

This group of Mahayana core members who sneaked into Luoyang misled a group of people in Luoyang and prepared to join forces with Faqing in an uprising.

This group of evil people have a strong ability to deceive people and have cheated many people out of their fortunes. The golden Buddha that Wang Hui used to bribe Manager Lu was also donated by a believer.

The assassination of King Qinghe is the most important part of the entire plan. Leader Huihui is worried that Wang Hui, the Yulin soldier who is going to carry out the assassination plan, will waver, so he summons him to Longhua Temple to brainwash him repeatedly.

Su Bai's "business" ability is indeed worthy of an orange follower. He even investigated Wang Hui's life experience.

No wonder Wang Hui looked so strange when he was seen by the Nanjiao River that day. At that time, he had already been developed into a believer of the Mahayana Sect and was training to participate in the selection of the elite warriors, right?
Su Ze tapped the table with his knuckles. There was no record of the assassination of King Qinghe in the history books he was familiar with. Either Su Ze traveled through time and changed history, and the butterfly effect triggered changes in historical development, or the assassination was hastily concluded and left no trace in the history books.

There is a serious lack of historical materials about the Northern Wei Dynasty, so the latter possibility is also very high.

If you think about it carefully, the Mahayana sect's assassination attempt was full of loopholes.

Not to mention that Wang Hui is just a Han Yulin of the lowest level, whether he can pass the archery test and whether he can come first after passing the test can be asked by King Qinghe himself.

It had only been a short time since the last Jin Ping Assassination. Prince Qinghe was the ruling prince and the leader of the Eight Dukes. How could he not have guards around him?

You should know that the white-clad scholars around Prince Qinghe are all elites who have been selected to join the court.

It is a huge joke of history that such a crude assassination opportunity could succeed.

Could it be that just like the last time the Golden Lotus assassination took place, this group of people from the Mahayana sect were just a decoy?
The more Su Ze thought about it, the more he believed this was possible. Just like last time, the Mahayana believers were just knives in other people's hands, and they might have other killing moves to deal with King Qinghe.

When Su Ze thought of this, he also had a headache.

If an assassination attempt was made against Prince Qinghe's selected guards, he would be implicated as a participant, and might even be suspected and tortured because he was a Han Chinese guard like the assassin Wang Hui.

In the prisons of the Tingwei Mansion and Bailu Cao, even innocent people would suffer a lot.

For your own safety, you still have to stop this assassination!

After realizing this, Su Ze began to plan how to stop Wang Hui from assassinating King Qinghe.

Wang Hui was bewitched by the evil people of the Mahayana sect and was planning to assassinate King Qinghe. He had not been a member of the Mahayana sect for long and still needed to go to Longhua Temple every now and then to be brainwashed.

If we destroy Longhua Temple, the Mahayana stronghold, can the assassination attempt be stopped?

Su Ze opened the map. After the last meeting with Gao Huan and Liu Gui in Longhua Temple, the map of Longhua Temple was also opened. Originally, this place was a green and safe area like Jianyangli.

However, after Su Bai discovered the Mahayana stronghold, a red danger zone appeared in the monks' quarters area of ​​Longhua Temple.

[Mahayana secret base, leader: Huihui, number of people: 10 to 30, challenge level 30, red danger zone, please challenge with caution.]

Jianyangli is a green safe zone with a challenge level of 10, Sitong City is a yellow zone, and the Yongning Temple at that time, the current imperial palace and the Longhua Temple Mahayana stronghold are all red zones.

However, there are differences in the danger levels of these red areas.

Yongning Temple and the Imperial Palace are also red areas, but the challenge level is "???", which means that Su Ze's current level is too low and he is not even qualified to challenge.

This makes sense. At that time, Yongning Temple was heavily guarded, as was the Imperial Palace. Su Ze's followers must have been there to deliver food.

However, the challenge level of the Mahayana stronghold of Longhua Temple is 30, which means it is not completely invincible.

A group of monsters don't even have armor, so we do have a chance of winning if we launch a sneak attack.

Looking at the virtual chess pieces on the side of the map, among Su Ze's followers, only the Egret Cao envoy Su Bai and the Yulin archer Su Lin are capable of combat. Su Dao and the cavalry slave Su Da can only assist in combat, and his own strength is still a little weak.

There are still three store refresh opportunities before entering the Vanguard. Should I wait for another round of refreshes before going?
In addition, some weapons and equipment are needed for the action. Swords have no eyes, and you and your followers also need light leather armor.

It’s better to wait until the New Moon Ghost Market opens and go after the next store refreshes.

In the next few days, Su Ze took the initiative to pay his teammates for wearing and removing armor, and invited his teammates to his home for a drink. Lu Zheng was nominally the captain of this team, but he had no control over this team.

Every time when assigning garrison duty, Su Ze had to nod before the Han soldiers would obey orders.

Su Ze simply ignored Lu Zheng and the other three Xianbei soldiers, and began to arrange for them to take turns to guard the palace wall. He himself took the lead in working during the most difficult times of night and noon, and was even more supported by the soldiers.

With the publicity of Yang Zongjia and Fan Dalang, Su Ze's reputation became more famous among the grassroots Han soldiers. Some Han soldiers also took the initiative to make friends with Su Ze, and Su Ze accepted them all.

Every time when they finished their guard duty and returned their armor, the number of people in the team behind Su Ze grew larger and larger, reaching nearly a hundred people after a few days, while the amount of money he paid for removing his armor and putting it on became less and less.

Those senior officials are all shrewd people. The money for taking off armor and putting on armor are themselves gray incomes collected under the unspoken rules, and they are not rents and taxes collected by the court that must be handed over.

If the nearly one hundred people behind Su Ze start to make trouble, the few petty clerks guarding the armory will not be able to afford to offend them.

Su Ze's prestige among the Han soldiers in the Yulin Army grew day by day.

The day for store refresh has finally arrived!

After returning home from duty, Su Ze rubbed his hands and opened the store.

Five blue lights flashed in unison and blinded his eyes. Unexpectedly, after just two lucky times, the sky turned blue again.

But at least the blue one is of better quality than the green and white ones. It's a pity that this system does not have the option of paying real money to change one's fate. He began to check the five blue items that were refreshed this time.

Su Ze's brows relaxed. This time, four blue followers and a blue item appeared, all of which were relatively practical items.

But practical as it is, this combination of random terms is really a bit overwhelming.

[The Blood-sick Shooter]

Grade: blue;
Effect: None;

Comment: "A sniper who is good at rifle shooting may faint after being injured and bleeding."

Price: 200 wen tai and 50 baht coins, and a maintenance fee of wen tai and baht coins is required every month.

[Reckless Shieldmaiden]

Grade: blue;
Effect: None;

Comment: "A shieldman wearing heavy armor, using a shield and an armor-piercing hammer. He is reckless and irritable, and often abandons his comrades to charge alone."

Price: 200 Wen Tai and Wu Zhu coins, and a monthly maintenance fee of 50 Wen Tai and Wu Zhu coins is required. Drinking is required before each battle.

【The Blind Pharmacist】

Grade: blue;
Effect: None;

Comments: "An experienced pharmacist who is good at using Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica to treat diseases."

Price: 200 wen tai and 50 baht coins, and a maintenance fee of wen tai and baht coins is required every month.

The only normal follower is this one: [Ordinary Yulin Army]

Grade: blue;
Effect: None;

Comment: "Ordinary Yulin Army."

Price: 200 wen tai and 50 baht coins, and a maintenance fee of wen tai and baht coins is required every month.

The blue items that appear in the store are:

【Exquisite little bow】

Grade: blue;
Effect: None;

Comment: "This is a good bow."

Price: One piece of silk.

Su Ze felt a little distressed. He had been trying to win people's hearts these days and had to treat them to drinks every now and then. Most of the silk he got from Princess Chenliu had been consumed.

The followers summoned previously also need to pay monthly maintenance fees. After buying five items today, there is very little silk left in Su Ze’s house.

They could only hope that Su Dao could sell the stolen goods at the ghost market, and that Su Tong could sell the cast Buddha statue at Yongning Temple.

But he still had to buy the items that were refreshed today, so Su Ze quickly bought all five items.

[Reckless Shield Axeman] He looks like a fool. He is wearing the standard heavy armor of the Huben Heavy Armored Infantry. He holds a wooden half-body square shield in one hand and a short axe in the other. This is the standard outfit of the Huben Xianzhen Camp of the Wei Dynasty.

Like the officers in the Yulin Army, the Huben, as one of the imperial guards, also had an elite formation, which specially selected the bravest soldiers and was responsible for the first elite troops to ascend the battlefield.

The shield-axemen are considered the elite in the Huben Army, just like the [Blood-stunning Archers]. Archers are also elite archers in the Yulin Army.

[The blood-fainting archer] looked timid and had been looking at the ground since he was summoned by Su Ze. He was wearing the standard leather armor of the Yulin Archer and holding a standard longbow.

[The Blind Pharmacist] wore the linen robe of a traveling doctor. Although there were still eyeballs in his eye sockets, his eyes were staring blankly ahead.

Pharmacists should be like dog thieves, both of which are special non-combat professions.

It’s a pity that due to the negative trait of “blindness”, this pharmacist is unable to perform the task of collecting herbs and can only diagnose patients and prescribe medicine.

Su Ze gained some understanding of the system's rating system.

[Ordinary Yulin Army] is the basis of blue. Yulin Huben is the imperial guard of Wei Dynasty. Their combat effectiveness is among the top in the entire Northern Wei army. They are considered elite soldiers, which means they are of excellent quality.

Local county soldiers should be considered green quality.

As for the refugee army, it is estimated that they are of white quality.

Above the Yulin Huben, those who have mastered special types of troops, such as cavalry and archers, are of purple quality, and they are more elite than ordinary Yulin Huben.

However, if combined with negative attributes, the purple quality will be downgraded to blue quality. For example, "reckless" and "blood-sickness" are both negative attributes on the battlefield, so the purple elite [Sound Archer] and [Shield Axeman] are downgraded to blue.

And if the purple troops have positive attributes, for example, Su Lin is the "Yulin Cavalry" who is "good at shooting", the quality of the purple cavalry plus the positive attributes will reach orange.

[When the number of combat followers reaches five, the grouping function is unlocked. 】

[Grouping function: At least five combat followers can be grouped together for tactical deployment. ]

[Do you want to group? ]

Su Ze chose to form a team without hesitation. Su Bai, the envoy of Bailu Cao, Su Lin, the Yulin Knight, the [Blood-shy Archer], the [Reckless Shield Axeman] and the [Ordinary Yulin Army] were formed into a group.

The five chess pieces were mixed together, and Su Ze could pick up all five chess pieces at the same time.

He placed the chess piece in the [Mahayana Secret Base] area in Longhua Temple, and the system prompt changed to:
[Adventure area "Mahayana Secret Base", challenge level 30, group 1 can execute tactical deployment, do you want to start? ]

After Su Ze chose "yes", a three-dimensional map of the monks' quarters of Longhua Temple appeared in front of him.

[Based on the reconnaissance results of the follower "Inconspicuous Egret Messenger Cao", the battlefield has been mapped and the enemies have been marked. 】

[Host can choose between "entrust automatic combat" and "on-the-spot command of combat", please choose? ]

"On-the-spot command of operations" is easy to understand. It means that Su Ze directly commanded his followers to fight in Longhua Temple.

Can you also "commission automatic combat"? Su Ze was even more confused about this system. The summoned followers were obviously the same as real people, but they had so many game-like functions.

"Entrust automatic combat."

Five chess pieces appeared in Su Ze's hand, and the Mahayana believers in Longhua Temple also made marks.

The Mahayana followers were crowded into two courtyard-style monks' houses. The leader Huihui lived alone in one house, and the other ten core members were crowded in the remaining rooms.

This row of monks' quarters was built against the east side of Longhua Temple. Just across the wall was the Cangbu Rent Field, which was the warehouse where the Northern Wei court collected taxes from all over the world and stored grain that was handed over to Luoyang.

Is this tactical auto chess?
Su Ze thought about it and placed Su Bai on the eaves of the monk's house near the Mahayana leader Huihui, and then arranged the Yulin Knight Su Lin and the [Blood-fainting Archer] in an area with a wide field of vision.

[Reckless Shield Axemen] are responsible for breaking down the door, while [Ordinary Yulin Army] guard the back door exit and kill the fleeing enemies.

After placing all five chess pieces, the system prompted again:

[The battle position has been set, and the combat objectives can be set: 1. Kill the main culprit and snipe the Mahayana leader Huihui; 2. Catch them all in one fell swoop and completely annihilate all Mahayana believers. ]

[Warning! Followers may be involved in encounters while moving! ]

[Warning! This action may cause riots and lead to pursuit by the patrol officers and the Imperial Guards! ]

[Do you want to execute this "Auto-Battle Delegation"? ]

This function is really a BUG, ​​right?

Wouldn't it be possible to send anyone to assassinate the enemy at will in the future?

Su Ze calmed down again. This time the target was a group of cultists. If it was an important official like King Qinghe, there would definitely be guards around him. It would not be easy to enter the palace, let alone arrange an assassination.

If you assassinate the enemy's main general, it would be very difficult to sneak into the military camp. I have never heard of anyone winning a war by assassination.

However, this function is powerful enough. If you have more followers who can perform tasks, can you command a small-scale battle in this way?

Is it even possible to command a local battle in this way?
How did they fight?
Su Ze walked to the window. It was almost the new moon. Today the moonlight was dim and the stars were sparse. It was a good time to act.

He took out the black clothes he wore during his last night walk at Yongning Temple from the system warehouse, and left Jianyangli with his followers, heading towards Longhua Temple.
