A month passes after the capture of Jian Ye. With Winter coming, the harvests are gathered up, the bulk of the peasant troops under Lu Bu's command and those Liu Yao's troops that surrendered are ordered to rest and recuperate, and plans are made to conquer the remaining South soon. Up north you are informed that Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian's lands after the former's father was killed by Tao Qian's men. Liu Bei who was serving Gongsun Zan came to aid Tao Qian, and after months of fighting, Tao Qian was killed and half of his territory taken. Liu Bei made peace with Cao Cao thereafter, and received the other half of Tao Qian's lands. Yuan Shao in the north defeats the bandit lord Zhang Yan through numerous battles and takes the latter's territory. Li Jue and Guo Si who control the Emperor are engaged with the Qiang troops once again led by Ma Teng.

You are rewarded with 100 gold for your deeds. A general council is coming soon to discuss future plans for Lu Bu's force. As a trusted second-in-command of Lu Bu, it would behoove you to be informed and offer suggestions and council at the meeting. You should gather some intelligence.

What information do you gather?
>About the northern lords, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu, who slightly border Lu Bu's force
>About the Southland lords and forces that border south of Lu Bu's force
>About the populace currently under Lu Bu's control, and their thoughts on Lu Bu
>Any prominent and talented people around the area that you might add
>Intrigue about Lu Bu's troops, officers, and their loyalties

Let's focus on internal affairs for now.

>>32908531
>>About the populace currently under Lu Bu's control, and their thoughts on Lu Bu

Internal Affairs. We don't need a civil revolt and we're going to need domestic talent to handle that for us.

>>32908531
>Any prominent and talented people around the area that you might add
>About the populace currently under Lu Bu's control, and their thoughts on Lu Bu

I wish we could pick three, but I think our troops and officers should remain loyal for now. We just won a great victory.

But what about our people?

Good, good, it would have blown to have left her behind or something

Looking at the pastebin, our sister is already 16 years old.

It would be nice to find a good match for her soon.

Maybe with Zhang Liao?

If this was a Sengoku quest I'm pretty sure that 50% of the players would be glossing all over Masamue, with the rest divided equally among serving Shingen, Kenshin, and Nobunaga.

Hey Raian, do you mind if we come up with our own strategies for battles?

But muh Shimazu

>>32909047
I don't think /tg/ could strategy well without Raians help

The first part of our plan wasn't terrible (the Lu Bu feint) and that was a write-in, us going full Lu Bu was legitimately terrible though.

I think good write-ins for strategy should be considered though.

>About the populace currently under Lu Bu's control, and their thoughts on Lu Bu
You remember well back what happened to Dong Zhuo when he did not have the support of the people, and think it is best to know how things are going with the populace. Disguising yourself as a peasant, you walk around and gossip around with the people.

You learn that the people so far are slightly weary of Lu Bu. He has after all come all the way south just to attack the recent lord and take his lands. What they fear most is that Lu Bu might start sacking and pillaging the villages, as Lu Bu did quite prominently when he served Dong Zhuo. The younger people in general admire Lu Bu and the stalwart warriors he has brought to the Southlands, and they believe he can achieve great things unlike the previous lord Liu Yao who was content sitting around living in peace. Numerous people hope Lu Bu can conquer the Shanyue tribes that typically raid the outlying villages.

>Any prominent and talented people around the area that you might add
Thinking there is always room for more talent, you search around for rumors of known people around the area. After a while, you manage to find out about three people you can hire, though you only have time to go after one.
>A large warrior know for his ferocity but generosity around the area
>An old, grizzeled veteran of war who fought bandits and pirates in his youth
>An educated well-learned man who moved to the South and is known to be modest and sincere
(Choose one)

Hey, we should get some bells and stuff to make smoke screens with, that way we can have bell ringers signal the enemy's position in the middle of a bunch of smoke for archers to fire at.

>>32909047
You can always write-in. I just provide general set-ups and plans.

>>32909346
>>An educated well-learned man who moved to the South and is known to be modest and sincere

We need more advisers other than Cheng Gong. Educated men can also help govern the cities as well, which is a big plus.

We have plenty of muscle, but we don't got the brains yet.

Would it be dishonorable to make our kettle our First Wife?

>>32909346
>>an educated well-learned man who moved to the south and is known to be modest and sincere.

>>32909346

>>32909346

Lets hope we have more chances of recruiting them later.

>>32909346

>>32909346
>An educated well-learned man who moved to the South and is known to be modest and sincere.
We got the muscle, but we lack the brains (besides Chen Gong's). Also, hoping that this leads to one of Sima Hui's students.

I'm hoping this is pang tong

>>32909377
We have to liberate Chang An before we can get our kettle back.

>>32909346
Let's choose a guy that compliments Lu Bu. Another advisor is likely to get Chen Gong pissy from having a dude who's essential purpose is to offer ideas different from his (unless for some reason they get along which for the setting seems improbable).

I was thinking the veteran, but Lu Bu probably wouldn't listen to him just because he's older and more experienced in battle.

I vote the ferocious warrior with the heart of gold.
Zhang Liao sets a good standard of honor for Lu Bu by being around him (I think?), so maybe this guy can teach our boss the plight of the masses (and earn brownie points with Heaven for favor).

>>32909452

If this is still 193, then Pang Tong would be like 14 years old.

>>32909486

We have our kettle with us, anon.

>>32909486
Bro we brought the kettle with us.

Considering how fast we left chang 'an what do you anons think of writing a letter to Cai Yan and enclosing letters to her father along with possibly a smaller letter to the emperor.

We write to ask of them and that if they have the chance, they should flee towards us where we can shelter them.

To the emperor, we write our apologies for being weak and having to flee but that it would have been better for us to live rather than waste our lives. Say that we are gathering strength to march on the traitors.

>>32909452
Considering the description, it's more than likely Xu Shu.

>>32909486
So like Ghengis Khan we have to carve up our enemies to rescue our true love?

Apropos to the setting, really.

Hey guys, why the heck aren't we courting and molding Zhang Liao as planned? We want him as our bro almost as much as Do Not Pursue.

>>32909493

I disagree with the adviser assessment.

One advisor is not enough for one faction, surely Chen Gong understands this.

If he's so obsessed with his own pride that he refuses to work with another adviser, then that's a sign that we need contingency plans.

>>32909520
Not to be meta, but if my timeline is correct, the emperor is in some pretty fucked up straights right now. I think he's not even getting fucking fed (his entourage included).

>>32909542

He showed up last thread and there weren't a lot of opportunities to interact with him.

Zhang Liao would have been a bad choice for the duel since he already earned glory with Lu Bu. And we wanted to court the waifu in the battle. He's high on my priorities list though.

>>32909505
>>32909498
So you're telling me we didn't leave our most valued possession within the safe confines of our estate back in the capitol?

>>32909596
We are not very good at decision-making.

>>32909596

>Equipment: Iron Armor (+1 War), Whispering Blade (+1 War, better chance of enemy injury in duels), Spear, Wind Bow: 100 gold (Chance of wounding enemy officer in duels as a separate check) Musk:(Better officer visits), Hazel Hare (Normal Horse), Lacquer Kettle (Better results if an officer visits your house. May also be given away as a gift)

>Lacquer Kettle (Better results if an officer visits your house. May also be given away as a gift)

We are going to campaign in style. Can't do that without our kettle

>>32909584

Thats the thing, we could possibly get him to run towards us instead of louyang.

>>32909596
Anon, the most important things should be kept on your person at all times.

>>32909346
Just invite all three to come by if they want a job and interview who shows. Why fight a battle of diplomacy when you have the upper hand as a hiring manager?

Embrace the sweet fruit of bureaucracy and let schmucks come to you.

>>32909620

Anon, we are incredibly far away from the capital right now.

If he could even flee, why wouldn't he flee to a more powerful warlord that's a lot closer? Like Yuan Shao or Cao Cao?

Guys, you keep tapking about potential qllies like Pang Tong and Zgang Liao, but you gotta know that they are NOTHING compared to the power of our OC.

>>32909620
Didn't that end up failing?
Badly?
>not sure anymore; after the fall of Dong Zhuo and the interim before the three kingdoms its a big clusterfuck of historical events

>>32909657

Because he doesn't historically.

And he never really trusted the other warlords.

Besides, if we get the letter out, we at least plant the seed for finding out what happened to Cai Yan and her father. I hope they survived.

>>32909620
You should read Sanguokishi. It's more or less a concise manga version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms without the whole Dynasty Warriors flanderization.

Also, yeah, we're a wasteland and a few river systems away from the capital. Ain't no way or no how the Emprah will be able to flee Chang'an without getting caught by the 4 Prick Generals.

>>32909726
How do people play this thread without having read at least some of it?

>>32909726

But the generals let him leave after they kill Fan Chou.

He's the sheltered by 2 other generals, preventing Li Jue and the other survivor from chasing after him.

>>32909753
Easy, they don't metagame.

>>32909753
>Never read RoTK or any derivatives.
>Never played any Musou or Basara games.

All I know is it's Chinese Game of Thrones, except with less dragons and more genius-level IQ's, and all my decisions are based off that.

>>32909776

We are getting into metagame, we don't know that Fan Chou is dead.

We don't even know if he will die in this timeline. Let's try to stay IC.

>>32909778
Some folks are capable of seperating Character Knowledge from Player Knowledge.

Some folks can't.

/shrug

>>32909807

I'm just responding to the statement that the emperor won't be able to flee chang an since thats what he did historically.

(Not that anon)

>>32909778
RotTK is more than just the events that occur. It's the setting and the characters and the old-timey honor and relationships. It'd be difficult to make a fair amount of decisions IC with the setting and time without that background.

>>32909800
So it's like Dune but in ancient China?

>>32909865

Plus we also diverged quite a bit in terms of events that occur.

>>32909865
All that requires is a general sense of culture in ancient China. Don't need to know anything about TK to know that.

> tfw tonight you have to GM a game and will miss out on the bulk of this thread.

Whatever happens.

GIVE THEM THE KETTLE!

>>32909894
Also a good point.
We're way out of the bullshit that would have otherwise happened if Lu Bu did his normal Lu Bu decision-making. This is uncharted territory.

>>32909894
>quite a bit
Understatement of the thread. Lu Bu normally would've set up shop in the North and would've pressured Cao Cao from taking a chunk of Yuzhou from Tao Qian and Liu Bei.

We done gone south and might start some wonky stuff now.

>>32909887
Not enough pants-on-head idiocy and secret societies to be Dune.

>>32909921

No you can't

You have to know the personalities of the people we deal with and that means reading on them. Some of them too are especially famous too so we SHOULD already know some of the info by default which makes seperating IC and OOC abit harder.

>>32909887
Yes.

Cao Cao is the Kwisatz Haderach, but we've teamed up one of the few legitimate super-soldiers.

You have been warned.

>An educated well-learned man who moved to the South and is known to be modest and sincere

You got to see the educated man, who lives in a small village just outside Jian Ye. You pay him a visit, and find that his name is Yan Jun, styled Mancai. He is very well learned in civil matters and administration; something that is currently lacking in Lu Bu's force. After some discussion, he agrees to join Lu Bu's force.

With your intelligence gathering done, the day of the council comes. In a large room, Lu Bu is seated at one end of a table while you sit at the side closest to him. The other seats are taken by the other officers, Yan Jun as well whom you just recruited.

Chen Gong who sits next closest to Lu Bu on the other side of the table before you stands.

"Generals, let us get this meeting started, First, I would like to discuss making an alliance with either Yuan Shu or Liu Biao to the north. Our recent taking of this city has no doubt attracted their attention. Liu Biao and Yuan Shu are at war with each other, and both hold powerful domains and troops at their own right. We must choose one force to ally with lest they attack us both."

Lu Bu rubs his chin and nods.

"My eldest daughter is yet unwed and beautiful. I can send her to be married with one of the lord's relatives for an alliance. The question is... Who?"

The other generals shrug. They don't seem to care one or the other. Yan Jun states warfare and strategy are not his expertise, but his opinion is to go with Liu Biao, stating Yuan Shu is a villain. What do you say?
>Liu Biao
>Yuan Shu
No, the eldest daughter is not Lingqi.

Did China have Tournaments?

We could kill two birds with one stone by entertaining the peasantry with a tournament and inviting one, or all 3 of those potential talented people to a Tournament / Feast.

>>32909964
>meta-gaming apologetics

sure, whatever you say.

We can think of completely valid

>>32909964
But IC we don't know jack about people from ROT3K besides rumors.

>>32909921
And that varies considerably once you read how RotTK does it. Cao Cao just up and kills people because he's afraid of being sold out, but finishes the job after he's wrong because it was expedient and isn't really ever punished (let's ask Chen Gong about interesting events in his life!).

RotTK is both proper Confucian mysticism fantasy and historical events mixed into one balls-out crazy era of literal chaos and dicks trying to out disk each other.

>>32910018

nvm lol

>>32910004
>>Liu Biao

Since I want to eventually take Yuan Shu's lands for our own.

>>32910004
Can we not ally with the Gongsun family? Anyway,

>Yuan Shu

because Liu Biao an incompetent.

>>32910026
We should know the big names from all the fighting going on in the Empire at least. Not sure if Cap Can is on the radar yet to be honest (I think he's still being a manipulative asshole at this point?) So we may not know he's a threat?

>>32910004
>>Liu Biao

Better chances I would think.

>>32910004
>Neither

We'd end up making her a widow soon anyway.

>>32910004
>>Liu Biao
I dont remeber who these are, a little help anons?,why would Yan Jun say that Yuan Shu is a villain?

>>32910004
Chen Gong seems to consider the two equal. Yuan Shao was the leader of the coalition against Dong Zhuo (along with Cao Cao) - he may still hold a grudge against Lu Bu. Meanwhile, the Lius are Imperial scions and honorable men.

Liu Biao.

>>32910004
If Yuan Shu is a villain, I say
>>Liu Biao
I will be good to have some we can trust.

>>32910004
>>Liu Biao

>>32910072
>Cap Can
Fuck you autocorrect.
Cao Cao

Who can we conquer easier?

Send her to the other one.

>>32910004
Liu Biao.

>>32910062
>Yuan Shu
>Not an incompetent

Yeah, nah, Yuan Shu a fatuous lord.

>>32910081
wait i remember, yeah liu bao is better, yuan shao is a dick, damn im really tired.

>>32910081

Yuan Shu is a incompetent dick in all the media I've read about the Three Kingdoms

>>32910004
Lu Bu how many freaking daughters do you have?
>dunno lol just fightan too much

>>32910062

Aren't the Gongsuns located in Northeast China?

We are Southeast China and Liu Biao and Yuan Shu are our neighbors

>>32910004
>NEITHER
We need comrades, not alliances.

>>32910081

Liu Biao's a relative of Liu Bei, commands Jing Province as of now.

Historically dies when Cao Cao makes a move on his county due to poor health. Infighting then takes the county.

Yuan Shu is a brother of Yuan Shao, both are currently estranged and is historically blasted apart by cao cao, liu biao and lu bu.

>>32910113
Yeah, had a brain fart there, also i sometimes confuse the names of people

>>32910129

He has two from the past threads

>>32910113
The Yuan's are all fucking dicks. Has Lu By interacted with any at this point? He'd be spitting with contempt since their arrogance and his own makes for explosively bad relations.

>>32910092

Cow Cow

>>32910160

Lu Bu's fought against the coalition army but I don't know about personal interaction

>>32910004
>Liu Biao
We're respectable and honorable towards the branches of the Imperial Family. We may as well keep up appearances.

The Yuan family's a bunch of dickbags anyways. Yuan Shu's a greedy prick anyways.

>>32910171

Tzao Tzao*

>>32910171
I am Cow Pee

>>32910155
We will do that a fucking lot in Rot3K. It's like the goddamn Old Testament in the endless number of names of increasing irrelevancy outside of like a chapter.

>>32910185

Liu Biao dies rather quickly too.

If things get too bad and Lu Bu's daughter sends for help, we might actually be able to get the domain relatively peacefully.

>>32910217

Definitely should be able to take control of his land should things go down like the history books and his faggot son gets all his land.

Better us than Cao Cao.

>>32910217
>implying the other Liu family members aren't going to be all over that land like flies on shit when he dies

But there is something to be said for destroying them piece-meal.

>>32910004
Listen to the advisors. More than likely there's stories of how Yuan Shu fucked up the early anti-Dong Zhuo alliance nearly by himself. Not even really metagaming. That HAD to make stories about him for what he did.

>>32910253
They definitely will be but when one has the backing of Lu Bu?

In any case, its a perfect justification to annex their lands when Liu Biao dies and Lu Bu's daughter is in jeopardy.

>>32910253
>exterminate the Lius
>rescue the Emprah
>take Luoyang
>become saviors of the Han and lords of the West

I'm getting moist.

>>32910253

If a Liu is Lu Bu's son in law, we can support his claim to Liu Biao's lands and gain some legitimacy in the eyes of the people.

The end result is that the lands would be in our domain of course.

>>32910276

> exterminate the Lius

Wouldn't most of them ally with us if we're loyalists and are uber strong, which hopefully we will be?

>>32910276

B-but the Emperor is a Liu too

>>32910275
Metagaming about Liu Biao but that's an excellent plan if we can keep away claimants.

>>32910295
That really comes into play only if we can secure the emperor.

Otherwise its only lip service.

That anon's idea of writing a letter has merits, actually. Some hope is better than none.

Yo Raian. Can we get a colored map or something showing what lands are controlled by who? Also a count on our army?

>>32910312
To be fair, its part metagaming, part logical preparation in case one of our allies dies.

>>32910318

Unfortunately, it would have a lot more merit if we stayed in Xuchang.

If we send a letter now, it looks more like lipservice since the Emperor is going to think, "If you are serious about rescuing me, then why did you head down to bumfuck south instead of staying in the central plains?"

>>32910276
We're not doing DW8 and Lu Bu decides he's going to take the entire Empire just by kicking everybodys' ass all by himself?

>>32910351
>Dear Son of Heaven
>Weather was nicer.
>Love, Lu Bu and friends

>>32910351
This.

>>32910351

Well logically, us staying in Xuchang with 2k men and little to no ability to help would be useless to the cause.

>>32910351
Fair point, which was why I voted to stay in Xuchang.

Still we can leave out the letter to the emperor. I would still love to hear from Cai Yan and her father about how they're doing.

>>32910286
Wasn't Liu Biao's son a decent guy, anyway? I forget his name but I remember the elder son was a solid motherfucker who only got passed up because Biao doted on the younger son.

Here's a not very good map I've been using for reference.

We are in Jianye (South of "Great River) in north Yangzhou.

Jing province is controlled by Liu Biao and Yuzhou is controlled by Yuan Shu.

Notice how far away we are from Chang'an and Xuchang

>>32909346

So guys. Are we going to wipe the Shanyue tribes off the map and bolster our army with all the young southerners who are inspired by Lu Bu?

Because that sounds like a good plan to me

>>32910357
Only after we marry the daughter and make Zhang Liao our best friend, anon.

>>32910442

I'd rather win over the tribes to bolster our armies. Fighting a guerilla war is not my idea of a good time.

Huh i cant go on anymore,dont do anything stupid anons
i leave...the rest to you tg(oh gods we are doomed).

>>32910442
How close are we to Szechuan? I think I heard the most beautiful women come from there. And we can get hot food and another kettle to join our kettle harem.

>>32910411

He had two sons. Youngest one was the bad ass motherfucker who didn't take no shit. Eldest one was the pussy faggot who just sat back and surrendered to Cao Cao.

If i remember right he was going to give his lands to the younger one, upsetting the normal rules of succession, but his bitch ass wife changed his will after he was dead.

>>32910433

As a practical note, the "zhou" in Jingzhou and Yangzhou stands for province. So it's Jing province and Yang province and so on.

We should kill the emperor and make it appear as if the Xiliang Generals did it.

>>32910465
The Shanyue wikipedia article says Wu won over the Shanyue through peaceful means after a long guerilla war. How's about we skip the war, maybe bring one major chieftain to battle or duel against Lu Bu, and then recruit the Shanyue?

>>32910483

It started infighting that Cao Cao took advantage off.

And so should we.

>>32910465
Would the populace and normal Han citizenry locally stand for that? That may be a line no amount of intimidation could force them to cross if blood is bad enough?

>>32910483

Ya got the two mixed up. The bitch ass wife favored the younger one and got him to inherit instead.

Of course, if Lu Bu's daughter is married to the younger one, that's the one we are going to support.

>Liu Biao
Your knowledge of both lords are not that keen, but at the least you remember that Yuan Shu is a petty man with little talent. While Liu Biao has little talent himself, at the very least he is said to be generous man. Besides, Yan Jun has also suggested Liu Biao.

"I think Liu Biao would be a better choice. We can trust him better than Yuan Shu."

Lu Bu nods.

"Then it is decided. Yan Jun, my general has informed me that you are well-versed in literature and speak well. I would ask you to act as envoy to Liu Biao and arrange a marriage with whomever you can."

Yan Jun bows.

"As you command."

Chen Gong goes to the next topic at hand.

"Sirs, out next task is to subjugate the rest of the Southlands. As I stated back in Xu Chang, this might take some time to do. Currently, the governor of Yangzhou province is Wang Lang. He is an incompetent lord, but he has allied himself with Yan Baihu, a bandit lord who has ingrained himself amongst the Shanyue and styles himself a King. They have a few ten thousands of troops, so for the next few months, we must muster what troops we can to fight them. I propose that we lead two separate contingents; one to engage Wang Lang and the other to engage Yan Baihu. General Lu Bu should lead one force, General Zhu Xing should lead the other. We can thus separate their force and conquer the Southlands in a more timely fashion."

"A sound plan. As far as I am concerned, both of these men are pheasants to the slaughter," Lu Bu says with a wave of his hand. "Zhu Xing, tell me which lord you want to destroy and what men you want to take."

Who do you decide?
>Wang Lang
>Yan Baihu

Which officers do you ask to take?
>[Choose a few]

>>32910479

First we get the army.
Then we get the money.
Then we get the bitches.

>>32910483
Huh, I thought it was the other way around, because I remember Liu Bei being upset about him planning to supplant his elder son with the younger, and I know Liu Bei ended up teaming up with the one who didn't surrender.

>>32910497
I'm open to any suggestions on how to do that.

If we ally with liu biao, we get to secure the jing province, which is most arguably the key province be it for future expedition or resources.

however we have to remember liu biao's forces killed sun jian, allying with him would make recruiting the sun family much much harder

>>32910527
>Wang Lang

Take Zhang Liao and Lingqi.

>>32910527
>>Yan Baihu

We want to kill the bandit king and recruit all the barbarians. Lu Bu's not good at diplomancing.

>[Choose a few]

Zhang Liao
Lu Linqi
Gao Shun
Hou Cheng

Leave Taishi Ci and the other 3 with Lu Bu.

>>32910527
We take on Wang Lang because he probably has a city and city sieges need brains to conquer

>>32910527
>Sirs, out next task is to subjugate the rest of the Southlands
Man, Chen Gong you don't mince words.

>>32910527
>>Wang Lang

Better recruitment prospects.

Take
Lu Linqi
Song Xian
Wei Xu

Leave the truely loyal generals with Lu Bu.

We handle those who need some care and love.

>>32910527

Why am i getting flash backs of Chang'An.

> Wang Lang.

Let Lu Bu and whatever we have that counts for elites at this point take the bulk of the bandit forces. Chen Gong should accompany him so he does not fuck up his tactics and die.

As for officers.
> Zhang Liao

We need to bro it up with him if we want to pull off the Oath of the Peach Garden: Lu Bu edition.

Taishi Ci should go with Lu Bu

>>32910591
We want Zhang Liao to be loyal to us primarily. Perhaps even do a Liu Bei style brotherhood with him and Lu BU.

>>32910527
>Wang Lang

Take Zhang Liao, Linqi, and Gao Shun and one of the three LTs. Other four and Chen Gong go with Lu Bu

Muh Gao Shun

>>32910562
>recruit all the barbarians
I think that would cause unified grassroots and warlord alliances against us in one action. Even at the Fall of the Han aren't we xenophobic about barbarians?

A Primer:

Loyal till Death:
Gao Shun
Chen Gong

Extremely loyal but will balk at certain death:
Zhang Liao

Loyal if treated well and appreciated:
Taishi Ci
Hou Cheng
Song Xian
Wei Xu

Just something for anons to take a refresher on.

>>32910579
Gongtai don't fuck around, bro

Cao Cao admired the fuck out of him for a reason. For all his protests, while Gongtai obeys the word of honor, he is also a ruthless motherfucker.

>>32910527
wang lang

take zhang liao and gao shun

>>32910648

We don't need to mix the two since the barbarians have their own territories.

However, if we give the barbarians fair amount of loot and supplies and show them our might, we could make them the backbone of a powerful professional army that would be loyal to only us.

Guys.

Can we recommend that Lu Bu challenge this 'Bandit King' one on one? That way when he beats him because its fucking Lu Bu vs a dumb barbarian, the barbarians will be enthralled by his strength and loyal to us/lu bu?

>>32910681

That's OC and we don't know if that will apply in this universe.

What do we know is that the 3 LTs were picked out for only being loyal if treated well. Gao Shun was left out of the negative characterization.

Zhang Liao has also followed Lu Bu for a long time and he's the third highest ranked guy in the army.

>>32910713

Yes, please. Tell Lu Bu and Chen Gong to recruit these motherfuckers

>>32910571
SIEGE TOWER!

>>32910527
>Wang Yang

>>32910713
That's his choice, not ours, especially since we'll be fighting Wang.

>>32910748

Hence, recommend since we are a trusted confidante,

>>32910748

But i mean, if we recommend that he challenge one on one instead of outright slaughtering the bandits, we have a chance at a Bandit Auxilliary.

We need as many troops as we can get.

>>32910527
>Who do you decide?
>>Wang Lang

>Which officers do you ask to take?
Lu Linqi
Song Xian
Hou Cheng

Leave Lu Bu the really loyal dudes, he'll need them with the way he acts.

>>32910741
You basically pointed out exactly whats on the chart with IC knowledge. So we already know this.

Its just to remind folks who needs more attention.

>>32910527
When we meet Wang Yang we need to insult his genitalia.
For what reason?
>because we felt like it, not due to his name and slang in a foreign language from across the sea or thousands of miles of overland travel from the future

>>32910803

Yes, but I dislike having to rely on OC knowledge to come up with the chart.

I'd rather use the IC information to remind people since we can be more responsive to characterization changes that happen.

It's useful that both IC and OC point towards the same conclusion here

>>32910793
>he'll need them with the way he acts.
That's an excellent point. We keep forgetting our boss is sort of an asshole. We should let him keep people who like him for him around.

>>32910841
Yes, but we need to court Zhang Liao already.

>>32910836
Fair enough anon.

I'll take note of that and try to reword stuff to make them more IC in the future.

>>32910841

I want to keep Zhang Liao with us despite that.

Taishi Ci, Chen Gong, and Gao Shun should be enough loyal officers for now.

Lu Bu respects Taishi Ci for his prowess and Chen Gong for his brains so they could keep him in check.

>>32910713
Ask yourself this: would a lord and dude who styles himself King really go on a duel with Lu Bu who is known as the Flying General?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So far it is attack Wang Lang, with taking Zhang Liao, Lu Lingqi, and Gao Shun, and Lu Bu going with Chen Gong and Taishi Ci.

Which last lieutenant do you wish to take?

>>32910891

Hou Cheng. He already appreciates us, so he would be useful to have around.

>>32910853
Nah. Let him do his own thing.

>>32910891
Who do we even have left? Let's just go with Hou Cheng.

>>32910891
Take: Song Xian, spread the love.

>Lu Bu's entourage

We need someone who can talk Lu Bu down from Dumb Shit.

We need Zhang Liao to go with him.

>>32910934
>>32910880

Taishi Ci and Chen Gong can do that just fine. Taishi Ci went toe to toe with Lu Bu so Lu Bu should respect him just fine.

>>32910891
>Song Xian

>>32910891

Hmm, good point, i guess i misread bandit king as dumbass who fights anything he sees.

Hou Cheng

Also, Gao Shun should go with whoever is more likely to encounter an entrenched position. Since his nickname is literally 'Formation Breaker'

>>32910891
Nah, let Zhang Liao go with Lu Bu. Also, so what if the king guy won't duel Lu Bu? They're gonna get decimated.

>>32910947

...Didn't consider that... SHOULD work. He needs more generals with him, though.

Especially since the army hes facing is 10k strong.

>>32910920
>>32910930
>>32910967

Guys, lets not take Hou Cheng. He had his chance for glory, now we need to let other LTs have a sht.

So guys. What are the numbers of our army?

Because the bandits alone are operating in the multiples of ten thousand.

>>32910891
>>32910920

Changing my vote to Song Xian

>>32910841

Backing this

also FUCK YEAH SAM GUO

>>32910985

Yeah, changing >>32910967's vote for Hou Cheng to Song Xian.

So, this is obviously OC, but I looked up Yan Jun since I had no idea who he was.

I'm already glad we recruited him.

"I'm only a simple scholar and I'm unfamiliar with military affairs. If I take up this appointment which I'm not suited for, there will be regrets later." He spoke very sincerely – to the point of breaking down in tears. Sun Quan then asked him to try riding on a horse, but he fell off after getting on the horse's back"

>>32910891
song xian

>>32910891
Song Xian.

>>32911048

We're taking all of Wu's shiny things.

Its amazing.

>>32911048
Sun Quan - Ancient Asshole.

>>32911090

Or killing them, which is just fine too

>>32911104
Can we please not kill Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, though?

Question

Where the fuck are Sun families?

btw don't we have zang ba?
he's not supposed to be as good as zhang liao or gao shun, but from what i remember he'd better than the three lts we have now

>>32911090

inb4 the crybabies scream that Raian's railroading us into being butt-fucked by Wu since we're taking Liu Yao/Wang Lang/Yan Baihu

Because you know it's going to happen

>>32911153
I think they're getting fucked elsewhere regarding the Imperial Seal? Or did that happen already?

>>32911153

Sun Jian is ded.

Sun Ce is fighting under Yuan Shu's banner holyyyy fuck, I forgot.

>>32911155

We don't have Zang Ba, anon.

Zang Ba would have joined us if we had taken control of Xu province. He was also an ally and not a subordinate historically.

>>32911156
We're with Lu fucking Bu. We're going to fight everything and EVERYTHING under Heaven so long as he's our boss and he's still alive enough to fight things.

>>32911172
>>32911173

I guess its around the time that Sun Ce is borrowing 10.000 strong army from Yuan Shu

prepare your anus

>>32911173

yfw we get Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to defect.

Then due to broing it up with Liu Biao, we find both Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang.

yfw we have the trifecta of anti-Wei/Jin strategists

>>32911173
>We've just signed up to fight Sun Ce

AW YEAH WE'RE BACK TO FIVE STAR DIFFICULTY

I love how much we fuck ourselves between bursts of GLORIOUS VICTORY

>>32911156
Man, all of life is railroaded. It is fate.

>>32911206
Gotta catch em all !

>>32911203
It's even more likely that Yuan Shu will send off Sun Ce on his lonesome against us.

>Against Liu Yao? HAHA hes ded

>Send him against LU BU!? HAHA, EVEN DEDDER

>>32911206
I think A Zhuge Kiang would honorably off himself before serving Lu By? Not sure if he's too honorable.

>>32911234

That sounds surprisingly plausible.

Chen Gong against Zhou Yu, Lu Bu against Sun Ce, that would be fun.

We still owe Cheng Pu a duel too

>>32911215

Nigga its not fun to play beginner in ROTK, especially if you play as Liu Bei in the Rise of Cao Cao scenario, shit so cash in Advance

>>32911206
I don't think Zhuge would ally with Lu Bu. He wants someone with long-term value who won't be too stubborn.

Pang Tong though... Surely the Fledgling Phoenix is the equal of the Sleeping Dragon?

>>32911273

We need a cool nickname.

>Attack Wang Lang, take Zhang Liao, Lu Lingqi, Gao Shun, and Song Xian
"I will attack Wang Lang. General Lu, you are better off facing Yan Baihu and the Shanyue who will meet you on the field of battle. Wang Lang will likely retreat to his city once I defeat his forces, and I know that General Lu does not like sieges."

Lu Bu nods and consents to this.

"Let me take Generals Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Song Xian, and Lady Lingqi. The rest will go with you, my lord." You turn to Chen Gong. "Does this sound fine to you, Sir Cheng?"

Chen Gong smiles, and there's a slight twinkle in his eye.

"As long as I accompany General Lu, the rest does not concern me."

The rest of the generals voice no concern, but one speaks out. Lingqi, who had been sitting quietly rises and slams her hands on the table.

"Wait! Why am I going with Zhu Xing? I am my father's daughter, I should be accompanying him to battle."

...Speaking of which, why exactly are you separating daughter and father? The other generals realize now this part too and glance at you. You should probably give a proper explanation to appease both Lingqi and the other generals...

What do you say?
>write in and vote on best choice

>>32911238

We weill be the one who visit him, not our full-retard of a leader

>>32911258

Mmm yes, delicious Wu tears,

>>32911298

I'm out, you guys are on your on for this one.

>>32911298

Motherfucker, our 67 intelligence is not equipped for this question

>>32911298

"My Lady please, I tought you want to take names for yourself? I still owe mylady a payback too, lets settle our score again in the next battle shall we?"

>>32911298
My vote is to say "She has shown us her fighting skill first hand. It would be good to how our top fighters evened out."

>>32911298
Well we're OBVIOUSLY trying to get all of our team's young blood on our side so we can prove ourselves in battle independent of auto-win-buttons like Lu Bu and Taishi Ci. This army's never going anywhere if it relies on just 3 or 4 people.

>>32911298

Jokingly respond that we want a rematch for that bet. There will still be fighting so she shouldn't worry too much.

>>32911356
have our*

>>32911339

>inb4 Chinese INT average is 75 instead of 50

>yfw Chinese Parents stereotype

>>32911298

Reference seeing Linqi's martial prowess firsthand and that she would be a valuable addition to our army.

Lu Bu's army already has the God of War and Taishi Ci. You are not yet Lu Bu and you could use more powerful warriors by your side.

>>32911298
Excuse me, but we did not wish to take Zhang Liao with us.

>>32911298
Say that lingqi is a talented woman but her accomplishments would be over shadowed if she remained with her father. Which is why she should come with us to prove herself

>>32911291
Flying General of Kettles in the North South East and West under Heaven

We will gain MORE kettles of increasing honor and beauty!
Lu Bu has Diaochan, we have kettles.

>>32911298

"Surely your ladyship hasn't forgotten our rematch?

How are we to do that if we are not in the same battle? Of course if you wish, I will forfeit this round so that you may accompany your lord father to the field of battle."

Stroke that fire of competition.

She will HATE the idea of winning by default.

>>32911298
"General Lu Fengxian is a mighty young phoenix. The radiance of the Flying General is well known. What glory can be attained smashing common bandits when mighty Lu Bu is leading the charge? Will his daughter live forever in the shadow of her father? Lu Bu's might is sufficient for the destruction of Yan Baihu - Lu Lingqi's strength and brilliance will be shown by her skill at siege, and glory heaped on the house of Lu."

>>32911401

I would like to have a collection of different kettles from different lands we conquer.

>>32911368
I actually vote for this. That whole "wanna repay that challenge" speil makes us look weak and petty.

>>32911298
>The other generals realize now this part too and glance at you.
Oh shit nigga
PANIC
We got caught ogling the boss' daughter oh shit

>>32911368

This works fine.

>>32911415

>>32911398
You didn't. The rest did.

>>32911298
>>32911422
Shit, this is a good answer.

>>32911298
Spaghetti as hard as humanly possible. We're not smart enough to get out of this.

>>32911379
>>32911415

I think referencing a rematch would be a horrible idea in front of our generals.

It sends the wrong message. That we are more obsessed with a vanity contest with one of our LTs than on winning the battle itself.

We are in command now, I would use >>32911368
>>32911356
>>32911397

as the bases for an answer that pleases everyone.

>>32911397
>>32911356
I agree with this sentiment, say we're simply trying to make sure each force has enough talented fighters.

>>32911422
I like this. +1

These spaghetti responses are actually IC, huh

>>32911398

The majority vote was to take Zhang Liao, so no, we wanted to take Zhang Liao with us.

>>32911298
>...Speaking of which, why exactly are you separating daughter and father? The other generals realize now this part too and glance at you.
...AWKWARD

...Run from the room and the province with your kettle and don't look back. Don't say a thing.

>>32911422

You said it better than me, have my vote Anon

>>32911484

Do you really think they will care about dick waving? I mean, we're in Lu Bus army for fucks sake, if we can't be fighters for fighters sake whats the point.

>>32911458
Or Lu By will think we're cunts to plow for shit-talking his progeny and vicariously him.

>>32911422

Too sycophantic, but its the best we've got.

We can mention the bet one on one with her when we ride to attack.

>>32911422
This guy and his honeyed words! Or as the south-eastern chinese put it - his mouth is as slick as oil

>>32911545

In a high-level strategy meeting? Yes, they will.

We are the commander in chief, we can be fighters for fighters sake in the battlefield, but let's not let our officers think that we make our decisions based on dick-waving.

>>32911298
?"Lady Lingqi, this is a matter of foresight. Any battlefield General Lu steps on will be cast under his shadow. This is fine and an endeavor we must dedicate generals who will not submit. However, what we need now are to spread names other than just General Lu's. For this I would put you on a field apart from your father, so that armies may fear the name Lingqi as much as they fear the name Lu."

Shame on all of you who just gave up on this one.

>>32911548

We're besties with Lu Bu though, he would probably laugh it off and tell her to go prove herself against us.

>>32911564
Man it's ancient China, half the art of bullshit is throwing in so many positive platitudes that refuting it makes the other guy look like an asshole.

>>32911545
Because it's dickwaving in front of your boss to his child in a culture where he is next to fucking god at this point in history. He also gets to decides whether we live or die at his order for any number of ridiculous reasons.

This is ancient China, not LoTR.
Lu By is finely attuned to any possible slights to his honor and that of those he likes.

>>32911298
>>32911581
>"Lady Lingqi, this is a matter of foresight. Any battlefield General Lu steps on will be cast under his shadow. This is fine and an endeavor we must dedicate generals who will not submit.

Christ, I never get formatting right. Opinions?

>>32911612
Way too sycophantic.

>>32911545
Yes, we need to show that we don't dick wave when it comes to strategy, but we sure as hell will dick wave when it comes to tactics and individual battle prowess.

>>32911585
>assuming the insufferable Lu By of legend will let anybody play silly buggers with him unless he invites it
Not even Zhang Liao could do something like that (though not that he would).

>>32911422
>>32911612

These are fairly similar, but I prefer a more straightfoward and blunt way of speaking.

Lingqi is not the type to appreciate honeyed words.

>>32911630
How's promoting your warriors names sycophantic?
Seems like the sort of thing you'd want to do with an upstart army.

>>32911610

I guess i just don't like the idea of walking on eggshells every time we go to battle, bowing and scraping to our allies who, by rights we should be friends with at this point.

>>32911663

Seriously, Linqi's whole thing is "Put up or Shut up". She doesn't care about eloquence or anything like that. In fact, she probably hates it.

Simply pointing out that she's a strong warrior and we need more strong warriors in this army should suffice for the most part. We can add extra reasons anons provided as necessary.

I don't think flattery's going to work here.

>>32911692

Eastern Cultures mang, its like that

>>32911545
This ain't no viking fantasy setting. It's medieval China with a legendary hero.

You're going to kill our reputation for saying such things in front of polite company.

If we lose enough honor LuBu will be ashamed enough to get rid of us.p and nobody will hire us and we'll fall from the chronicles of the three kingdoms preemptively with a disgraceful whimper.

>>32911686
Let us not forget that daddy is not too huge on Lingqi fighting, and the fact that you're already referring to them as an "upstart family" instead of just people who want to prove their might shows your lack of understanding.

>>32911298
Better yet, how about we play this off as a slip of the tongue or a lapse in judgement and acquiesce to her concerns?

Or

>"Oh sorry, I was treating you as a general for a moment when you are, in fact, my lord's daughter. Please forgive me, I shall not make the same mistake in the future."

>>32911748

I like this.

>implying /tg/ can make good decisions

>>32911748

This is a good starter. It sets a pretty strong tone for the rest of the argument.

That Lingqi is a member of the army and will go where she's most useful.

>>32911692
Sorry, but that's the setting. Lu By himself caused a long downward spiral for himself simply by not doing what was socially expected of him. He even called Liu Bei an extremely close diminutive when he was looking for work and a guest in Liu's own land.

>>32911770

> Implying its not fun

>>32911422
So, is everyone agreed on this, or will you guys change it up a bit?

>>32911748
Very tactful for the strange room we got. I like it.

>>32911793
Start with >>32911748
and then that.

>>32911793
I think we need some more time to discuss this

>>32911793
Fucking no. The "young blood" option is the only one that doesn't make us sound like a dick.

>>32911820

Backing this

>>32911777

So basically we're just going to be fellating everyone nonstop for fear of minor sleights, even our best and most trusted generals that we have been fighting besides for years.

This is going to get old fast.

>>32911793
If were using that can we use >>32911612

The two are pretty much exactly the same only the second isn't disgustingly flowery or patronizing.

>>32911793
>>32911748

I prefer this before talking about how Lingqi's strength is needed elsewhere.

>>32911777
Yah he was promptly evicted because Guan Yu and Zhang Fei werew so pissed they nearly finished the famous Lu Bu/3 brothers skirmish right there.

>>32911859

Ancient China

>>32911835
I wrote >>32911368, and yes it is the best option, but if the thread chooses otherwise, then it chooses otherwise. You're not making it any more appealing by insulting people.

>>32911793

Too flowery, the substance is fine. But make it far more direct. We are not a Han court official, but a General speaking to his subordinate.

>>32911859
No, you respect social rules and hierarchies. As well know the time and places for everything. It's like normal social interaction with simply different standards.

>>32911793
I would add a mention of Taishi Ci and Chen Gong into there, though, and how between the might of the two generals and the stratagems of Chen Gong, victory is all but assured.
>>32911860
Dude, this is three kingdoms, if your shit ain't flowery and patronizing, you're doing it wrong.

>>32911860
>Disgustingly flowery and patronizing

Lu Bu's self-chosen epithet is disgustingly flowery and patronizing? The man picked Fengxian as his style name for a reason.

>>32911881

I'm making the argument that all the other options presented are dick-waving. Nobody has been able to prove otherwise. Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes.

>>32911859
You're overblowing the issue. We have very few bosses and social betters that we would need to do this to.
However bringing up a competition in skill with your Lord's child in front of him and the other generals at a strategy session is like literally calling his bloodline a bitch for posterity.

>>32911931

I think you missed his point if you think he's referring to "Fengxian" as the only part that's flowery.

>>32911952

Why its dick waving? sorry not Native English

>>32911927

Flowery is for diplomacy and for talking to our superiors.

We are talking to our subordinates in a routine military matter. We shouldn't have to even justify this, but we are not going to get straight to the point since we are.

>>32911986

They make us seem arrogant, vain, and self-centered as opposed to playing for the team.

>>32911983
Fengxian is literally a reference to the Phoenix - it's an explicit comparison.

A little poetical elaboration on a man's style name is a classic show of respect.

>>32911859
No matter how long we fight with Lu Bu, he will always be our social better and lord until we either rebel from him or he dies. Therefore we don't call out his kid directly for ANY purpose save business and tactful behind a closed qr lots discussions.

>>32911952
Non dick waving answers.

>>32911399

... THAT RAT BASTARD KNEW FROM THE GET-GO!

>>32912034
Gongtai wanted to put us on the spot. He can't help it. The man is devious!

>>32912034
Theoretically and technically, that's his job. So we at least know he's good for something.

>>32912021

Okay, yeah. He's saying everything else is too flowery, not the style name. I don't know why you think people are only focusing on the opening line.

>>32912034

Maybe he just wanted us to get some?

>>32912026
Those make it seem like we're pandering to Lingqi, which in turn makes it seem like we want to get in her good graces more than help the army achieve victory.

Rolled 6

>>32912034

Oh course he knew.

Hes chen gong

And hes knows we're on the same page.

>>32912034
Strategists gonna strategize

>>32912034

Huh, knew what? what did I miss?

I guess I am suited to Zhu Xing, low INT and all that

>>32912034
He knew but he didn't mention it, total bro

>>32912070

Also pandering to Lingqi is counter-productive since Lingqi fucking hates being pandered to.

Haven't we seen this in the last 2 threads?

>>32912070

Okay so how do we get Linqi all over our dick mister?

Any better solution perhaps?

>>32912087
As I said

>implying /tg/ makes good decisions

>>32912080

He knew we picked Lingqi because we are trying to waifu her. He didn't object because he's a bro, but he knew what we were up to.

Honestly, I blame our super low charisma. We should have gone to finishing school or something

>>32912080
We're on the spot because we sort almost outed ourselves in front of ALL THE GENERALs that we have the hots for our boss' daughter. And our boss and the daughter are present.

>>32912111
>Honestly, I blame our super low charisma

Well Zhu Xing IS tg

That we're subtly manipulating lu bu for his own benefit, the benefit of our faction and for our mental health

>>32912107
First of all, you're the type of player that's going to get our character killed or disgraced.

Second, we do it by fighting good within her line of sight, not by defending her with words which she hates.

>>32912087
We don't pander to Lu Lingqi but also don't insult Lu Bu OR her in polite company by saying the wrong thing.

>>32912107

Impress her by being a badass on the battlefield and respecting her as an accomplished warrior on her own.

Undeserved flattery and flowery language will make her hate us. She sees through that as bullshit

See >>32912087

>>32912145

So what should we do mang

>>32912149
Hence why we should have picked >>32911368

>>32911793
my vote for >>32911748

If you're still counting

>>32912107
By not making Lu By or her pissed. Which is like trying to keep fire not hot.

What's hilarious is that Lingqi is actually a better warrior than we are right now.

She got through Battle of Changan unscathed and she won the contest from the last thread.

>>32912181

>>32911748
>>32911368

Together is the best answer probably
