Chapter 670: Royalists and Revolutionaries

Yesterday, Luyang City.

After receiving the news that Sun Jian was captured, the soldiers were ecstatic, and Su Yao was also very relieved.

Although Sun Ce and Sun Quan were still young and stayed in their hometown in Jiangdong, they were not captured by him.

But with the deaths of Han Dang, Zu Mao and Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Sun Jing, Sun Ben and Sun Jian himself were captured.

The Sun Group, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, was annihilated by him in one battle. Such efficiency was worth his hard work.

However, the Sun family's power was destroyed, and the next question was how to deal with these captured generals.

Although Su Yao simply raised the question at that time, he then ordered everyone to go out immediately after a day of simple rest to seize Duyang.

However, in just a short while, the city of Luyang was also in an uproar.

Mainly led by Wang Ling and Dian Wei, they believed that Sun Jian was a fierce tiger of Jiangdong. Especially Dian Wei, who had seen this man's abilities with his own eyes, highly respected his abilities and urged Su Yao to accept him.

"Sun Jian, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, is extremely brave and a rare and good general."

Wang Ling spoke passionately and earnestly:
"Yuan Shu was able to launch a surprise attack this time and cause such a commotion, all thanks to this man's bravery."

"If we can bring this man into our camp, Yuan Shu will lose an arm and you will gain an arm!"

"That's right!"

Dian Wei also echoed:

"I am a conceited person, but Sun Wentai does have some real skills."

"He led the troops by example, and dared to fight and charge, showing some of the demeanor of a noble."

"If he can surrender, he will surely be a help to our army."

"You two are wrong."

Seeing that Wang Ling and Dian Wei were strongly advocating for recruitment, Yuan Tan quickly spoke out in opposition:

"The Marquis of Guanjun has many strong men under his command, including some fierce generals. So what if Sun Wentai is extremely brave? No matter how brave he is, can he be more powerful than the Marquis of Guanjun?"

"You are right, my lord. Please think twice."

After Yuan Tan, Feng Ji also objected:

"This Sun Wentai is treacherous, murdering his colleagues, poisoning Nanyang, and killing the people. He is truly an out-and-out traitor. If you take in such a villain, wouldn't it bring shame to your army?"

Except for Dian Wei, these people probably all have their own plans.

When Yuan Tan and Feng Ji were among the Yuan family troops, many of them wanted to take revenge for being attacked by Sun Jian before.

But they were also worried that if they recruited Sun Jian, his power would increase and it would be difficult for them to do business in the future.

After all, both Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were already very skilled at recruiting desperate criminals and issuing wanted criminals.

But Wang Ling's attitude here is very subtle.

Rather than his superficial eloquence, Su Yao knew that he was more of a reminder to himself not to make the wrong choice.

That's right, the two had discussed this before this battle.

After he expressed his desire to capture Sun Jian alive, Wang Ling strongly agreed.

In Wang Ling's opinion, now that the royalist party has joined forces with Lu Gong and others, its power has greatly increased.

Especially after the court officials returned to the capital, if they did not have a loyal team, they would be hindered in doing things.

Sun Wentai, who came from a poor family, believed in fists. As long as he could be tamed, he would be a very useful fighter.

At that time, we can be like Yuan Shu. If there is anything that is inconvenient for us to deal with or that may cause offense, we can just let him handle it.

"In the Han Dynasty, no powerful official in history has ever had a good end."

Wang Ling bowed and said:
"For the future, you should make more preparations now."

That night, Su Yao just nodded without making a clear statement, and asked Wang Ling to leave for the time being.

However, Su Yao still took Wang Ling's words to heart. This made Su Yao, who originally didn't care and just had a bit of a collecting habit, think about this matter seriously.

When the discussion is over, you will eventually face the issue of choosing the final route.

Should we be independent or support the Han people?
At first, this question could be said to be a stupid question.

However, this does not mean that Su Yao has any opinion about the Han Dynasty. Rather, it is said that among all the dynasties, he has a very high favorable impression of the Han Dynasty.

Although he forgot where he had seen it, when talking about the big man, a sentence almost instantly popped out of Su Yao's mind:
"He established a country with unprecedented dignity, he gave an ethnic group the confidence to stand tall for thousands of years, and his country's name became the eternal name of a nation."

This is the deep impression the big man left on Su Yao.

However, this does not prevent him from sweeping the Han Dynasty into the dustbin of history time and time again in the game.

After all, when it comes to games, the most important thing is to have fun yourself. If you can be your own boss, why should you work for others?
Therefore, in countless Three Kingdoms games in the past, unless Liu Bei was chosen to start the game, Su Yao would always be independent.

But this time the situation was somewhat different. As the situation really developed, Su Yao found it becoming increasingly difficult to be independent.

The reason is simple, in fact Wang Ling has already explained it - it is the balance of power.

Under Su Yao's command, due to various subjective or passive reasons, he recruited too many upright, brave and loyal people.

Different from the simple loyalty systems in the Three Kingdoms and Mount & Blade games he had played before.

Thanks to the advancement of next-generation technology, with the support of powerful computing power and cloud systems, the main characters in the real three worlds all have complex personalities and moral concepts.

The loyalty value will change dynamically depending on the handling of different events.

If you kill innocent people indiscriminately and harm loyal and good people, it will easily bring you a lot of "bad reputation".

They fight not only for personal glory and wealth, but also out of loyalty and love for their country and people.

This is also a matter of course.

Like Lu Zhi, Xun Yu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others, which one of them did not care about the world and aim to restore the Han Dynasty?
Obviously, they followed Su Yao not only because of his bravery and strength.

Now that he is holding high the Han flag and is determined to fight against Dong, these people are naturally high-spirited and loyal, and their combat effectiveness is greatly increased.

But if he chose to declare himself king and raise the Han flag, he would probably end up on the opposing side of the world just like Yuan Shu did.

What choice will these loyal people make then?
Su Yao was not sure.

However, on his system list, as the number of military generals and civil officials directly under his command increased, several interest groups had automatically been formed.

Among them, the royalist party and the pro-Han faction are far ahead.

In addition to the leader Lu Zhi, there were also civil officials Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, Liu Bei and military generals Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Qian Zhao and others.

In contrast, the revolutionary party and the independent forces are completely inadequate.

Its leader was actually Wei Ming, who was far away in Liaodong.

The only steadfast ones in the ranks were former Yellow Turban generals such as Wang Ling, Zhen Jiang, Jia Xu, Cheng Lian, Xu Huang and Yang Feng.

In comparison, saying it is shabby is an exaggeration.

That’s right, Wang Ling is here.

As the first confidant to follow him and one who had seen the deep dark side of the big man, he was naturally a staunch revolutionary.

But other than these, everyone else is a neutral party with unclear attitudes.

Of course, Su Yao also knew that this was probably related to the fact that he had never expressed his thoughts.

However, as the plot progresses and forces develop, it is clear that he does not have much time left to put it aside.

If you don't want to have a boss who will give you orders and cause you trouble in the future, you must make arrangements in advance.
But Sun Jian?

Is it really suitable?

And with this question in mind, time has quickly come to today.
