In the glorious history of the Yanlong Empire, there was a dynasty that perished because it was too powerful.
Even Wang Mang, who was suspected to be a time traveler, could not stop the fate of this dynasty.
Chu Zhongxing only thought about it for a moment and decided to use "Han" as the name of his country in this world.
For players of the Yanlong Empire, the sense of immersion in the country name Han is absolutely amazing!
"Han is the name of our country, and I am the King of Han, the King of the North, the King of Han!!"
"In time, when my Han Dynasty annexed the Imperial Shang Dynasty and unified the nine provinces, I can proudly say this."
"All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are his subjects. All the lands that the sun and the moon shine on are the territory of the Han Dynasty!"
Chu Zhongxing gently knocked on the Tongtian Divine Tree. After deciding on his next path, he needed to plan what he would do next.
"First of all, the capital city. Yancheng has been completely reduced to ruins. Rebuilding Yancheng is not cost-effective."
"Yancheng is very important to Guo Xiaoding and the Zhenbei Army, but in fact, this city has no strategic value at all and is a dispensable city."
"For the Han Empire, choosing Yancheng as the capital is not appropriate."
The Northern Frontier is very vast, and Yancheng is not in the center of the Northern Frontier. Chu Zhongxing has the territory map of the Northern Frontier imprinted in his mind. He compared it with a map of the Northern Frontier area and found that the center of the Northern Frontier is near the Sushen tribe.
The Sushen tribe is about the same distance from the Shanhan Corridor to the south and the Far North to the north.
The location to the east is closer to the East China Sea than to Tianshen Mountain to the west, but the difference is not that big.
Moreover, the resources near the Sushen tribe are also quite abundant. As one of the 18 tribes in the northern border, the Sushen tribe is the only one that can rely on hunting to keep most of its people from starving to death.
Looking at the entire northern border, the location of the Sushen tribe is very suitable for building a capital.
Although the spiritual energy near the Sushen tribe is not abundant, it doesn’t matter. The spiritual energy affects the player’s cultivation progress, and the cultivation progress is roughly equal to the experience value.
For players, experience points are important, but not the most important.
Have you seen any player level up by simply killing monsters?
Aren’t they all upgraded by downloading dungeons?
In this game, the Barbarians are a copy, the Imperial Shang Dynasty is a copy, and even the ancient monster, the [Devil] in the North Sea, is a copy!
"We will build the capital of the Han Dynasty near the Sushen tribe. After we have completely unified the Imperial Shang Dynasty, we will consider changing the capital."
"The Sushen tribe. If I remember correctly, there is a Zhenbei Army of several dozen people here, as well as the rebel army and prisoners."
"Niu Bu, who chose to continue playing for 15 days, is also heading towards the Sushen tribe."
Chu Zhongxing's gaze instantly switched to Niu Bu who was heading towards the Sushen tribe. At this moment, Niu Bu was riding a warhorse that he had looted from somewhere and was rushing towards the Sushen tribe.
"It just so happens that I am planning to take action against the Sushen tribe. Since you are in the Sushen tribe, you can do it for me!"
Seeing that Niu Bu was targeting the Sushen tribe, Chu Zhongxing had an idea and gave Niu Bu a task.
The scorching sun shines directly on the earth, making the desert extremely hot.
The terrifyingly high temperature affected ordinary war horses. The war horse under Niu Bu's crotch ran very fast, even slower than when he performed [Eight Steps to Chasing the Chan].
There are three main reasons why the Northern Frontier was called the Northern Frontier by the Imperial Shang Dynasty.
First, the spiritual energy in the northern border is scarce, and supplies are in short supply.
Second, the weather in northern Xinjiang is bad and not very suitable for ordinary people to live in.
Third, there are frequent disasters in the northern border. Ancient monsters such as Hanba pass through the northern border from time to time, bringing many disasters to the northern border.
It is not even May yet in northern Xinjiang, but the temperature has already soared to nearly 43 degrees. This temperature is not the temperature brought by the drought, but the original temperature of northern Xinjiang.
With a high temperature of 43 degrees, if it were on Earth OL, the people of the Yanlong Empire would definitely turn on the air conditioner to cool down, while the people of the country of Asan would choose to bathe in the Ganges to cool down.
But in the game, this temperature has almost no effect on Niu Bu. After experiencing the horrifically scorching heat of Hanba, Niu Bu's heat resistance has improved a lot.
But horses can't do that.
"The horse is terrible!"
"I miss Wu Zhui. If Wu Zhui were here, he would never be affected by this horrific high temperature!"
"Or the mount of the Chanyu of the Yiqu tribe would be fine. I remember when I killed the Chanyu of the Yiqu tribe, the warhorse under his crotch had flames rising from its feet. It was definitely a top-grade warhorse."
Niu Bu plundered a tribal village and stole an ordinary warhorse from the village. When he rode on it, he found that the horse was too slow.
Especially under the influence of high temperatures, Niu Buzhen felt that he should get a better mount.
"When can we reach the Sushen tribe? Will fifteen days be enough?"
Niu Bu stared into the distance. The northern border was almost entirely desert. As he looked around, there was nothing but yellow sand.
Just when Niu Bu was composure and preparing to continue on his journey, a message panel suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Qualifications for early access to the beta version]
[Congratulations to player Niu Bu for obtaining the early access to the beta version. Would you like to experience the beta version? ]

5. All rights of interpretation belong to the official website of "Bai Jia Zhu Dao"! 】
"Qualification to experience the beta version first?"
"You don't even need to ask me this. Just experience it, experience it!"
Seeing the pop-up panel, Niu Bu, who was originally listless, instantly perked up. He clenched his fists tightly and chose to be the first to experience the beta version without hesitation!
As for what to reward and what not to reward.
Please, it’s really cool to be able to experience the beta version first!
[Dear player Niu Bu, you have confirmed that you will be the first to experience the beta version. Please exit the game first and we will automatically update the game version of your holographic game cabin.
This game update will take 1 hour. 】
"Oh wow, the update only takes an hour? That's really fast."
Niu Bu glanced at the surrounding environment and saw that there was not even a hair within a radius of ten kilometers. He decisively logged off and waited for the game to update.
Pretending to be cool is human nature and human instinct.
If life is not about showing off, it will be meaningless! As a Niu Bu who got the experience qualification, after he went offline, he did not come out of the holographic game cabin, but went straight to the forum and posted several posts in succession:
"How do you know that I have obtained the experience qualification?"
"Who leaked the news? Why are you asking me what the new version contains?"
"Don't ask me anymore. I signed a confidentiality agreement. I can't tell you. I really can't tell you!"
"Okay, I'll reveal a little bit, just a little bit."
“I can only say that there are a lot of updated contents, and those who understand will understand!”
As the strongest player in the entire game and the only one with a strong family background, Niu Bu's every move naturally attracted the attention of many players.
After seeing Niu Bu post several posts in a row saying that he was qualified to experience the game, the player community suddenly seemed to smell something fishy.
"Fuck, fuck, Brother Niu got the qualification to play in the experience server? That's awesome, Brother Niu!"
"No, the preview of the new version has only been out for a few hours, and you're already playing it?"
"Is there a trial server for this game? Brothers, do you know how to download the trial server and how to apply for it? Please let me know, there is a reward!"
"Fuck him, Brother Niu is so awesome!"
"Who asked you, bitch?"
"I beg you to reveal some inside information, I beg you to reveal some inside information, thank you, I wish you a peaceful life!"
"No, why do you have the qualification to experience it? You are also one of the first batch of players in the closed beta test, but I don't!"
The forum suddenly became extremely lively. Niu Bu saw a group of people posting messages under his post, and the corners of his mouth raised with joy.
Ask, ask.
Guess, guess.
Anyway, I won’t tell you what the content of the new version is.
Don’t ask, the answer is that we have signed a confidentiality agreement!
Niu Bu was browsing the forum, feeling silly and happy. He looked at countless people asking him about the content of the new version, even including people he was very close to, such as He Ao, Yileimiao, Su Shan and others. He kept his mouth tightly shut and said nothing.
The other players thought that Niu Bu had signed a confidentiality agreement and did not dare to speak out.
In fact, Niu Bu hasn’t played the new version yet.
After showing off for an hour on the forum, I waited until the update and maintenance were over and then logged in at lightning speed to experience the contents of the new version.
After entering the game and waiting for the darkness to disappear, the first scene Niu Bu saw when he opened his eyes was not the desolate desert with sand all over the ground, but a map, a map of the northern border.
This territory includes Shicheng, Beiting, the Shanhan Corridor, and the Imperial Shang Dynasty.
But Yancheng, which Niu Bu was extremely familiar with, did not appear on the map.
"Huh? What is this?"
"Is it the CG for logging into the game?"
There was no login CG in "Bai Jia Zhu Dao" before. If it is a newly created account, logging into the game will directly enter the face-shaping interface. If you die and resurrect, you will enter the resurrection page.
If it is not a new account and you are not dead, then you will be online at the same place where you logged off, unless someone moves your character while you are offline.
But this time, after entering the game, what came into view was a map.
[There is a group of heroes who came from the distant Yanlong Empire, landed in Yancheng, and worked hard to protect Yancheng.
They are not afraid of sacrifice, they are hardworking and capable, they are talented, and they are brave and resourceful.
When faced with enemies that were hundreds of times larger than themselves, this group of heroes did not surrender or give up. Instead, they used everything they could to eliminate all the enemies that were hundreds of times larger than themselves.
Although Yancheng was not defended in the end, they used their flesh and blood to resist the 300,000-strong barbarian army and saved countless people of the Imperial Shang Dynasty.
Such a contribution is enough to repay the debt owed to Yancheng.
This group of heroes came from the distant Yanlong Empire. Although the Imperial Shang Dynasty ruled over the Nine Provinces and was extremely powerful, they did not have a strong sense of identity with the Imperial Shang Dynasty.
Then, a knight named "Gui Bi" joined the Zongheng faction and wanted to support Yancheng commander Chu Zhongxing as king. Yancheng commander Chu Zhongxing did not agree to the knight's proposal at first. As the commander of the Imperial Shang Dynasty, how could he declare himself king?
However, the death of Yancheng's main general Guo Xiaoding in battle and the burial of 30,000 Yancheng Chengbei Army soldiers in the northern border completely touched Chu Zhongxing's heart.
The Yancheng Zhenbei Army guarded the northern border for 84 years, but never received any reinforcements from the Imperial Shang Dynasty. Only a handful of the 30,000 Zhenbei soldiers survived.
If a ruler treats his subjects like this, then the relationship between them is over.
Yancheng commander Chu Zhongxing has completed his mission. He guarded the eighteen tribes of barbarians in the northern border and blocked the 300,000-strong coalition army of barbarians from marching south to the Imperial Shang Dynasty.
Now, with the death of the Bishop of Yancheng in battle, Yancheng has been reduced to ruins, and Yancheng commander Chu Zhongxing has completely severed his ties with the Di Shang Dynasty.
Chu Zhongxing's life is closely tied to the life of a chivalrous warrior from the distant Yanlong Empire. Chu Zhongxing intends to adopt the suggestion of the chivalrous warrior "Gui Bi" and establish himself as king, naming the country "Han".
Lines of text appeared, telling the story of the new version. After reading this text, Niu Bu's eyes were unusually bright.
"Damn it, I know it."
"Yancheng's chief coach Chu Zhongxing is definitely not an ordinary NPC!"
"I previously suspected that Yancheng's head coach Chu Zhongxing was the mastermind who secretly opened an account to play and set up a high-profile identity for himself."
"Now, I have even more reason to suspect that this is the account of the main planner, or the account of the major shareholder of Baijia Zhudao!"
"But this is better. I'm really worried that the new version of the story will include the Imperial Merchant Dynasty. Although it's still playable that way, it always feels like something is missing."
Niu Bu stared at the map of Northern Xinjiang, and a line of text appeared again:
[Knight Niu Bu, are you willing to become a Han minister, assist the Han King Chu Zhongxing, and establish the Han Empire? ]
"Of course!"
Niu Bu immediately clicked "I agree". This matter has been made clear. The plot of the closed beta version is mainly about destroying the barbarians in the northern border, while the plot of the internal beta version is to assist King Han Chu Zhongxing in establishing the Han Empire.
Niu Bu guessed that when the public beta version was released, the plot would be that the Han Empire annexed the Shang Empire.
Of course, according to the plot of the history of the development of the empire, this is absolutely the case, but Niu Bu dare not guarantee it. What if the plot copywriting planning of "Bai Jia Zhu Dao" is done by a little fairy?
Soldiers only need to fight, but logistics requires a lot of consideration.
The plot of "Little Fairy" is extremely amazing, and Niu Buzhen can't guess how the plot of "Little Fairy" will go.
As Niu Bu clicked "I do", another line of text appeared before his eyes. (End of this chapter)
