The city of Wu is average and unremarkable. The walls and gates of the city are moderately strong, likely able to hold off any future barbarian attacks but not a full on scale siege if you ever choose to defend the city. Wu is defended by the Chang Jian river and the Yellow Sea, so it may be easier to defend, though also presenting passages for enemy attacks via water routes. The markets are semi-active with some trades inbetween, while the farmlands are in need of some development. You have 3000 gold in the treasury, and are expected to receive 500 through taxes every three months. You have 4000 units of food, and are expected to gain an additional 500 through harvests every three months. The city of Wu commands 5000 troops, who are still green and inexperienced, and only have a 1000 horses along with their basic spear, armor, bows, and ladder equipment. With Wu only recently have been conquered, support for Lu Bu's force and yourself in the city is merely average. There are still some criminals and lowly former bandits/Shanyue that make occasional trouble at the city.

It seems there is much to do if you want to improve Wu. Chen Gong has requested for you to maintain a strong army for future battles and campaigns.

What do you for the upcoming three months?

For military we want to concentrate on recruiting and training over equipping. Training should include fighting on ships so we can better defend on these rivers.

For domestics concentrate on farmland and dealing with bandits, and building support

For ourself we want to search for more officers and visit Linqui when we have time.

I think there was a good consensus on what general was doing what last thread correct?

The indecision was on what we were going to do.

I want to say that building up a navy will be pretty important since we're near water ways

>>33923107
>develop markets
>Visit Lingqi
>have her drill the troops alongside us

>>33923107

As per last thread, the generals and civil officers will still be working on their activities and will help with the development of the city right?

Does the stat requirement for the activities:
>>>Train a stat (choose)
>>>Visit an officer (choose, people outside your city and within your own force is fine, Cha/Pol)
>>>Search for a talented officer (Cha/Pol)
>>>Build defenses ( Int)
>>>Raise safety (War)
>>>Raise support (Cha/Pol)
>>>Improve Markets (Pol)
>>>Improve Farmlands (Pol)
>>>Recruit troops (Cha)
>>>Train troops (Lea)
>>>Gather intelligence on enemy (Choose what type of information you are seeking and on who, Int)
>>>(Write-in action, though try to refrain from doing this too much)

Still count?

>>33923107
My idea is simple. We purchase some warships get Gan Ning and another of our of generals to do a sort of active training for men, having them take shifts patrolling the water way. Both to train them in naval combat, and to hopefully keep trouble out of the rivers where our fishermen and trade ships cross.

Other than that, admins work on getting the markets and farms pumping with Cai Yan drumming support. She likely has a better chance due to her past and how Lu Bu and ourselves helped.

Linqui and ourselves can secure things inside the walls and police.

Clarification on

>>please write in on actions, you may divide work however much you wish. Please try to keep the various actions minimal and not too detailed

By this, it's just Zhu Xing's actions as per end of last thread, correct? The administrators and generals will work on improving civil matters and military on their own end?

>>33923107
>Raise safety (War)
>Search for a talented officer (Cha/Pol)

>>33923240

>>33923184

Our farms are sustainable for our troops. 500 consumed, 500 gained, so it's not of immediate concern.

Our markets are not sustainable. We are running a deficit of 350 every 3 months.

Focus on markets first.

Pol is our dump stat guys.

If we're still working off the last thread's stat usage, we should never touch anything requiring Pol only.

Leave that to the civil officers.

>>33923107
Have our administrators focus on improving our infrastructure. Our military officers should focus on traing troops and rooting out troublesome elements. We should focus on trying to improve support and recruiting troops. Maybe help the people out directly like we did under Dong Zhuo.

>>33923256
I imagine that if we see something that needs to be done, we can spend a turn visiting one of our guys, put him on the job and raise relationships

>>33923107
Recruit troops
Train troops and if possible have take action against the bandits to get them some real combat experience

More officers > More Troops > More Markets > Training troops > Equipping troops > More farmland > Etc

>>33923293

With the exception of >Search for talented officer

We really need to be doing that ourselves, and the sooner we do it, the better.

>>33923315

Search is Pol/Cha so its not so bad.

Hence also why I suggested:
>>33923155

Which was the suggested and mostly agreed actions for Zhu Xing last thread.

>>33923107

Maybe we should go easy on recruiting troops for now. They cost money and food.

Right now, our troops cost 500/500 gold/food every 3 months, the same amount we are producing.

Training our new troops and improving domestic infrastructure should be higher priorities.

>>33923107
>>Raise support (Cha/Pol)
New city let us get to know the people.
>Visit Lingqi
For kicks and mainly to hang out.
>Raise safety (War)
Because we got this.

The rest of the officers work to improve the markets and farmlands. The more leader ship based people work to train the troops.

>>33923379
We really need to find new officers dude, it means we can accomplish SO MUCH MORE. Not to mention we have a wealth of Wu talent in front of us

Forget the mechanical crap from last thread people. It has been dropped and removed, for a more generalized and flexible system. All you need to do is say what you want to focus on the city for now. It is Fall of 196.

All other officers are doing regular work. Civil guys doing paperwork, overseeing general development, etc. Generals patrolling, training troops, etc. Most of the development of city comes on your part. Focusing on one action than doing multiple things will result in better outcomes and improvements.

Don't make this more complicated than it needs to be.

Right now, searching for talent seems to be a wanted and taken action. What other actions do you wish to do? Unless there are objections, we will generally try to pass the turns by three months.

>>33923504
Search for talent, visit Lingqi, and invite her to beat up some bandits

Agreed, though we should train our troops instead of recruit for now.

What we should be doing ourselves...

is training the generals.

Lets whip Song Xian into shape while Gao Shun and Gan Ning do the training.

Wont we be at a penalty in trying to improve civil stuff?

Our efforts might be better served in making sure the military side is ready.

5000 soldiers isn't a lot but how many can the city support?

>>33923809
think of how much food supplies we produce and how much the army eats and you can figure it out

>>33923750

I agree,

>Most of the development of city comes on your part.

This seems to say that we personally need to take charge of the market and farms next.

Can we use our third action to host a banquet?

This would allow our sister meet Gao Shun and Gan Ning and decide who she likes best. We can also have our brother meet Cai Yan and other eligible women. We can have our administrators and generals get closer and spend time with Lingqi.

>>33923809
Not much until we improve the farmland. We're just barely covering the food consumption.

Rolled 82

>>33923809

I think getting to 15k should be good.

That was the size of the force Sun Ce brought against us.

Unless Chen Gong gave us some targets to hit.

>>33923809
5000 Soldiers is an alright amount for a single city.
10k-15k is normally the amount one could expect from one of Lu Bu's power

>>33923783
The way I understand it unless we do it ourselves there won't be much direct improvement in any of the areas mentioned. If we want the city to be effective we have to manage its improvements wisely. Though we need to get our army formidable within a year or so at a guess.

Rolled 78

>>33923849

Fair enough.

Next turn I suggest we work on only improve farmlands and markets.

I don't think we can afford too much time on it, more than one 3 month block. We're supposed to mainly focus on defence rather than development. I guess that means we can request for some food supplies from Hui Ji.

>>33923881
We should focus Markets completely for now, then do Farmland later.

If this is anything like ROTKXI, gold is a lot better than food

>>33923833
so banquet to marry off bro and sis?

So focus one turn markets next 3 months?

Wonder if we can drag other civil officers to help us specifically in the task.

Like ask Cai Yan and Zhu Yang to boost our efforts in improving the markets.

Despite most of the Shanyue being crushed by Lu Bu and the area here stabilized, there are still bandits and barbarians on the occasional attacks and run. To stabilize safety and the law, you decide it to be the best to eliminate these trouble. Internal security before external security.

Looking through documents, you find out about a man who has recently given himself in to the local authorities and has put himself in prison. Asking the guards about this man, they inform you he was is a fearsome and large warrior. He was a former bandit around these parts, and a few months ago, decided to turn himself in and confess his crimes. Because of his confession, he has been sentenced to five years in prison.

Yet... You might find better uses for this man. If he is as ferocious as people say he looks, he may be an asset to your force. At the same time, his former connections may help in dealing with the criminals of the area.

You visit the dungeons, torch in hand. It is a dark and murky place, and criminals line up through the bars to beg you for mercy. You ignore the rest of the rabble and come to meet with your designated man.

"Sir? Are you... Sure you want to go in alone?" a guard asks when you order him to open the cell.

"I am fine. If rumors are true, this man will not attack me. If he does, I will give him a swift death."

You enter the cell and see a man sitting firm and still, looking over to the other side of the wall. When he hears your footsteps, he only ever looks back slightly, and makes no word.

>I want you to help me deal with criminals, in return, for your freedom
>I demand to know why you have given yourself up
>I have brought you some wine. Let us talk

>>33923947

Important people like who? They need to start popping out heirs soon. I'd rather cement our loyalty with capable generals on the rise at this point.

On the other hand, the important people might show up at a banquet anyway since we would be inviting all the nobles hopefully. Maybe that's our chance to figure out matches.

The current leader of the Sun family still has a lot of connections in the south lands. Wu, essentially.
Not to mention, descendants of Sun Tzu, link that with the blood of Lu Bu, and you would have an ultimate warrior.

>At the same time, his former connections may help in dealing with the criminals of the area.

Believing that treating the man well and speaking as warriors might do the job, you sit before him and place the jar of wine you brought on the floor. You bring out two small drinking cups. The man turns around at the gesture.

"Come. Have a drink with me and talk."

The man stays silent, as he takes a glance at your drink and then back to you. As you pour wine on to a cup and hand it to him, he takes it in simple gesture. He looks back at you, and waits for you to drink first before he takes his own drink. Though it is simple and untradtional as a noble, he is giving you every ounce of respect.

"What is it you wish to talk about?" he asks.

"To know why you have turned yourself in. Bandits run amok these days and they loot the people when central authority has fallen. You have had plenty opportunities to fleet and continue your doing, yet, you decide to come to prison. Why?"

He looks down at the ground for a moment, closing his eyes for a moment before replying.

"I grew sick of killing innocents," he simply replies. Nothing more than that, no further explication.

"And your name?"

"Zhou Tai."

He remains silent as you both drink together a few more times. This time, he is the one who speaks up rather than answering your questions.

"You are a strange man."

"Why is that?"

"You are no fool. You know that I may very well kill you here. Break one of these jars or cups, use it as an edged weapon. Or steal your own sword. Why do come here along and drink with me?"

When times are hard, men will do what they can to live. Instead of running, you took your punishment like a man. Instead of begging, you wait patiently and do not lower yourself.

"I thought you to be honest and of good character despite your past," you reply, to which Zhou Tai's brows slightly raise. "You have given yourself up, despite details surrounding you that you may have vested any warrior in combat. You are one who wishes to redeem himself, no?"

Zhou Tai makes no reply, closing his eyes once again. It seems he is thinking.

"Besides, I am a warrior and a man. I have chosen this path knowing full well the dangers and perils that await me. A true warrior would not balk at death."

You stand up, as Zhou Tai opens his eyes.

"I am in need of your help. I wish to eliminate the criminals and bandits of this area. My goals reach further than that; to unite this land under Lord Lu Bu and bring back stability."

"I see." Zhou Tai takes a few seconds, but soon, he stands before you. A tall, imposing man, but you do not falter before him. "You may be too honest and trusting to a fault. But your eyes are strong and full of character, and you have convinced me. I will serve your force, to redeem myself of my past."

>>33924507
Our forces are a bit small, but with enough training and equipment, we could probably turn them into a elite small force that can be the back bone for our greener, future soldiers. Add our generals, and Yuan Shu may just end up being the nerd against the Lu Bu jocks.

Lingqi is patrolling the streets of Wu. Some of the people whisper at the sight of a woman in armor and weapon, but most know who she is and have heard about her deeds in battle. They know very well not to cause trouble around her.

You come before Lingqi, one hand waving in mid-air. At your sight, Lingqi smiles and walks forward to meet you.

"Good day, Zhu Xing," she says.

You've entered a relationship with Lingqi. You have both agreed that while you may spend some intimate time together, you both should keep things professional in matters of war. She stills seems quite happy to see you, and is all smiles.

“Lingqi, I see you are as dedicated as ever.”

“Of course.”

“I have something to discuss. I wish to rid the area of bandits, some remnants that still remain. I believe eliminating them will solve some problems and raise some support for us. Will you help me?”

“Of course!”

“Very good. I have recently hired an able warrior to help us. He's had some connections to the bandits in the past, but rest assured, he is trustworthy. We'll work together with him.”

“Of cour- Wait... We're not going to be alone?”

Zhou Tai emerges from the back, and bows. At his sight, Lingqi frowns.

“This is Zhou Tai. I believe he will be of great aid to us in eliminating the trouble around here. Zhou Tai, where shall we begin?”

Lingqi sighs and grumbles in a low voice, something about people interrupting and whatnot.

“I know of a group of criminals around this area. I was once a part of their group. But they are careful. They move around, and will likely hide from your lordship's presence. I believe it would be best to draw them out, dressed as common folk, and then find their hiding place.”

“Huh!?” Lingqi replies. “Let's just get the troops and round them all up. Why are we doing all that stuff?”

I hope you don't actually talk like this.

Indeed, but she's got a point. Why not have our disguise be a small trade convoy? Light armor under robes, with men with crossbows hiding in the wagons. It'd also serve as a target. Besides, if they only pick on weak foes, then this can serve as a way to prove our might. That even without our titles we are still strong.

"No, as Zhou Tai says, we might not be able to find them if we use the troops. We should follow his plan."

"Eh..." Lingqi scratches the back of her head. "You realize we're putting ourselves at risk right? You're a damned lord now."

"It would be quite fine for myself and the General to go, if the little one is too afraid," Zhou Tai remarks.

"What was that!? Alright big man," Lingqi says stabbing a finger in Zhou Tai's chest, who simply stands firm and does nothing. "I'll show you who's REALLY smaller."

It seems things are going at a fine start.

-------------------------------------------

It is night time, and you, Lingqi, and Zhou Tai are in commoner's clothing. All three of you cover yourselves in cloaks, and head over to a rundown district of the city. You search the area for an hour.

"So? Where are they?" Lingqi mutters.

No sooner than when Lingqi speaks, a number of men come out from alleys. In sniggers and smirks, they draw weapons. Some come from the back, and they surround you three. There are about a dozen of them.

"Walking late at night?" one of them says. "Bad idea. You buffoons must be new around here."

"We should take one of them alive," Zhou Tai says as he draws his sword.

"Don't get killed, Bandit Man," Lingqi says as she draws her own blade.

All three of you swiftly scatter in different directions at the same time. The criminals are caught surprised. Before one bandit even manages to get his guard up, you quickly dispatch one bandit with a slash of your blade at his throat.

Three other bandits come charging at you, and you begin parrying their attacks. You manage to kick one away, and one of the bandits nearly manage to slash your face. Your manage to swiftly move your head back just in time, before you counter attack and cut away at the bandit's chest. You fight a few clashes with the next bandit, and he easily falls under your blade.

Zhou Tai and Lingqi finish up their work. The one bandit you kicked away one the stomach is one the ground. You move to him, to obtain information from him through intimidation.

"Tell me the location of your hideout, or I shall have your entrails spilled out before you!" you say to the man, holding him up mid-air.

"Piss off ya shit!"

It takes a bit of time, but you manage to get something out of the man. He reveals the location of a sub-commanding bandit's location, but the leader himself. Sadly, the man refuses to sell out the commander, and you have to make do with eliminating a part of the bandits.

Returning back to the barracks, you organize some guards. You and your men quickly head to the hideout of the bandits; a dilapidated large building at the slums of the city, and swiftly attack their base. The bandits are caught surprised and are overwhelmed.

At the end of the of the building, you corner the sub-commander of the bandit. He looks at Zhou Tai, and screams.

"Filthy traitor! We took you in, you bastard!"

Zhou Tai moves forward with his sword, intending to end the man.

"Wait Zhou Tai! Capture the man, do not kill him yet!" you order, placing a hand on Zhou Tai's shoulder. Zhou Tai looks back at you, with a slight frown.

"As I have stated, th-"

Before Zhou Tai finishes, the bandit laughs at you.

"You're a damned fool if you think I'll sell my leader out. I'm no stinking traitor. Even if I did, you think my boss would stay in the same damn place after you made all this damn noise raiding this place!?"

You remember that Zhou Tai told you that the bandits are quick to move and respond. Fortunately, your intentions will not work here. With a sigh, you nod to Zhou Tai to allow him to kill the man.

"Die!" the man yells charging.

It only takes a quick lightning fast slash. Zhou Tai eliminates the the bandit sub-commander in an instant through a slash through the stomach.

"I have no regrets," Zhou Tai simply states, withdrawing his sword.

'Tch... Not bad," Lingqi mutters behind your back.

The rest of night is spent taking down the other bandits and rounding them up from the area.

--------------------------------------------------

Together with Zhou Tai and Lingqi, you spend the rest of the months raising the safety of the area and eliminating trouble. The order of the city rises, and appreciation in the city comes to your force. Only a few criminals remain in the city itself, while a few remain on the outer lands. There are still some Shanyue tribes who refuse to obey.

Winter comes, what do you plan to do next few months? Because of the season, you will get no harvests next time.

Five warships should give us enough of a force when fighting in naval combat to at least defend ourselves until reinforcement comes.

We should spend at least 500 gold on crossbows to make a dedicated ranged force.

We need to secure our money and food situation before expanding. It'd be more productive to train up the troops we have.

>>33927198
This.
5000 is enough, we're really not going to be fighting Yuan Shu with only this.
We're going to have ALL of Lu Bu's army behind us

>>33927161
As is, we want to make sure our farms can support it. We need some major surplus there especially with how marching soldiers require more food. Right now, we need a strong core thats well armed. Once we have a core, then we expand.

>>33927238
We are expected to gear up to defend the province though. I agree that markets etc is a better move at the moment but we can't appear vulnerable either. We'll need to start getting shit in gear come spring.

don't forget guys we can always request resources from our other city though we'll probable have to make sure it arrives to us safely, incase things go sour

Guys, I'm not too sure if we can afford anything past the 5 warships. Yes we have 3500 gold in the bank, but we're running a 400 gold deficit right now with the additional officer. We need to get our gold in order before anything else.

>>33927161

I would actually have Zhu Xing lead the expedition. This way we can negotiate with the Shanyue tribes when possible. Also fun as well.

Gao Shun would remain in the city with Zhou Tai to maintain order since he's the best at that.

I'm also thinking that Song Xian will eventually lead our elite crossbowmen. He was good at leading archers in our campaign and almost killed Wang Lang by himself.

>>33927282
Then let's tighten defenses then. The enemy will have to march over here across the river to get us. That will likely take time and if we attack them from the banks with balistas and catapults, we can sink some ships before they even reach the shore, or force them to take the long route to us and waste time and supplies.

>>33927336

Also we'd take the vast majority of the cavalry with us, leaving behind some elite crossbowmen and about half our remaining forces to defend.

>>33927326
the way I see it, we can always raid yuan if we need stuff, that or spam market increase

>>33927326

If we maintain that deficit, it will take just below 3 years to run out of the gold.

It's good to increase market, but we shouldn't be too stingy with our purse.

>>33926909
From what I'm seeing, we're spending
>50 gold from our own pockets on a banquet
>Spending 500 gold on 5 warships so we don't get raped in naval
>200 gold on strong crossbows (1000) to make an elite crossbow dedicated squad
>Everything else seems to be being argued
I'd like to put my own vote that we improve markets before wasting too much money. We should have at least 2000 in the bank at all times. We're fine currently but if we spam...

Do not worry about gold and food upkeep, they are assumed to be accounted in your income to make things more simple. It will only become a problem if you raise a ridiculously large force, like 50,000 troops with mediocre markets and farms to support them, in which case I will warn you that you might start losing income. Remember that Lu Bu and other generals control armies as well.

You decide to work on the markets, attempting to fund more businesses and districts. Unfortunately, a number of them fail and you only manage to slightly increase the markets. Gu Yong helps in damage control, while Yu Fan laughs remarking, "It seems the General should stay on the battlefield."

You throw a banquet with good food and music for your officers (-40 gold, 145 gold left). You inform Zhu Yang that Cai Yan is an eligible bachelorette, telling him that perhaps he can see if they get along. Zhu Yang is delighted, stating he believes Cai Yan to be beautiful and charming and says he has no problem with it.

You treat your guests well at the banquet. You allow Zhu Yang to sit together with Cai Yan and converse together, while Lingqi casually sits near you and talks together with you throughout the feast. You have the opportunity to give a toast to one of the officers; who do you toast?
