Now that the world was in chaos, the Nine Provinces were in turmoil!
Grain and armaments were the most indispensable things for the various dukes.
Heroes like Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shu were naturally dissatisfied with their rankings.
At this moment, Cao Cao, who had received the supplies, looked at the Saint Board with an ugly expression.
On the other hand, the people beside him all revealed happy expressions.
After all, it was a windfall from the heavens, and it was such a huge windfall. They were naturally happy.
"Lord, with such a large batch of military resources, we have hope of conquering Xuzhou again!”
After Cao Ren finished counting the supplies, he turned to Cao Cao and said excitedly.
Cao Cao's eyes darkened slightly. The rewards that Liu Bei had received this time were also not small! What makes me even more annoyed is that this scoundrel Yuan Shu actually relied on the fact that he occupied more territory than me and obtained more rewards than me. This makes me very unhappy!”
"That's right! A few years ago, the lord had driven Yuan Shu from the Central Plains to Yangzhou. He had thought that this fellow was already an arrow at the end of its flight. He had never thought that the ranking of the Saint Board was actually only based on the size of the territory occupied and the number of people. This was unfair!”
Seeing Cao Cao's unhappy expression, Xun Yu immediately agreed.
At the same time, it also pointed out the disadvantages of this ranking.
This was because the so-called strength was not ranked by military strength, nor was it ranked by their past achievements.
In this case, some people were born to be against the trend, while others were born to be at an advantage!
"That being said, the Saint Ranking has its own purpose. I think that since the Saint Ranking has appeared, the rankings will not be limited to just one. In the future, there might be rankings for generals, strategists, armies, and so on. It doesn't matter if we suffer a loss this time. When the next ranking appears, we must enter the top three!”
Everyone nodded solemnly when they heard Cao Cao's words.
Cheng Yu echoed," My lord's words make sense. There will definitely be other rankings in the future. At the same time, the rewards might be even more generous!"”
"Yes! Next, let's see who's at the top of the rankings!”
Cao Cao's eyes lit up as he looked at the Saint Board.
At the same time, Liu Bei and his two brothers in Xu Prefecture were overjoyed.
They really didn't expect that Xuzhou, who had just taken over the baton from Tao Qian.
In the blink of an eye, he had obtained such great benefits.
These things were enough for his army to spend for several years.
With these military supplies, he was confident that if Cao Cao attacked him again, he would definitely be able to return the favor!
"Big brother, the materials have been counted. It's as the Saint Ranking said.”
Guan Yu held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand as he strode towards Liu Bei with a smile on his face.
Liu Bei nodded and said in a deep voice," The Saint Rankings will not deceive us mortals. It's just that we have to work harder in the future. I believe that with the release of the Saint Rankings, the world will once again be turbulent. We should take advantage of this opportunity to rise!”
"Big Brother is right! It was just that he did not know if there would be other rankings in the future!”
"There will definitely be. Next time, we must advance into the top five!”
"Yes! Understood!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said solemnly.
Then, the three of them looked at the rankings.
Actually, at this point in the rankings, everyone roughly knew who would be in the top few.
After all, it was ranked according to population and land area, so almost all the dukes in the world knew who had the largest territory and the most people.
It could be said that the most excited ones were Yuan Shao and Liu Biao of Jing State.
This was because the territory and population under them were among the best.
However, compared to Liu Biao and Yuan Shao's excitement, there was one person who was very worried!
That was Yizhou Prefecture Overseer Liu Zhang.
Because the Yizhou that he ruled was definitely huge!
Due to the chaos in the Central Plains, many people in the state came here to seek refuge.
In this case, his ranking in the top three was almost certain.
At this moment, Liu Zhang was also standing in front of the mansion and looking at the Saint Board.
Beside him, there was also a group of strategists and soldiers.
"My Lord, we might be able to get first place on the Saint Rankings this time!”
A shifty-eyed subordinate of Liu Zhang congratulated him.
Liu Zhang stared at the other party, not feeling happy at all.
To be honest, he actually hated this guy called Zhang Song to the core.
Because in the future, it would be this fellow who would betray Liu Bei and collude with him to take over Yizhou.
Of course, Liu Zhang knew this because he was a transmigrator.
A month ago, he had transmigrated from the 21st century.
As a young man from the 21st century, he had become a cowardly Liu Zhang after transmigrating to the Three Kingdoms. This made him very unhappy.
At the same time, he, who was familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, was extremely disgusted by the fellow called Zhang Song beside him.
There was also Fa Zheng, who had been secretly sizing him up with ulterior motives.
"Although that's the case, these things are really a crime! I'm afraid that even if I get it, I'll become the target of everyone!”
Liu Zhang sighed with a worried expression.
When Fa Zheng and Zhang Song heard this, they sneered in disdain.
Fa Zheng thought to himself, What a coward! If a lord like Liu Bei or Cao Cao could obtain such great benefits, they would have long since become the ruler of the world!”
"What a pity! What a pity! He was ultimately a muddle-headed person! This huge territory of Yizhou would probably become someone else's!”
Zhang Song pursed his lips and said," My lord, you worry too much. With these military supplies, why should we be afraid of others attacking?" They should feel lucky that we don't attack them!”
Liu Zhang clasped his hands behind his back and said indifferently,""Let's take a look at the rankings. What if Yizhou is remote and we might not be on the rankings?”
Zhang Song and Fa Zheng were speechless. They turned around and continued to stare at the rankings.
The ancient seal characters on the Saint Ranking didn't stop and continued to appear.
"Ranked fourth on the dukedom's strength rankings: Western Liang's Ma Teng, occupies an area of one million square kilometers, and governs a population of 1.5 million! Ma Teng was rewarded with seven million stones of grain, seven thousand wagons of supplies, and seven thousand horses!”
"Ranked third on the strength ranking of the dukes: Liu Biao of Jing State, occupies an area of 1.2 million square kilometers, and governs a population of 3.2 million! Liu Biao was rewarded with eight million stones of grain, eight thousand wagons, and eight thousand horses!”
"Ranked second on the strength ranking of the dukes: Yuan Shao of Jizhou, occupies an area of 1.25 million square kilometers and has a population of 3.8 million! Yuan Shao was rewarded with nine million stones of grain, nine thousand wagons, and nine thousand horses!”
"Ranked number one on the strength ranking of the dukes: Liu Zhang of Yizhou, occupies an area of 1.36 million square kilometers and has a population of 4.5 million! Liu Zhang was rewarded with 10 million stones of grain, 10,000 wagons, and 10,000 horses!”
"The person who gets first place will be rewarded with ten points of the Son of Heaven's Fate! Kill the owner of the Son of Heaven's Fate and obtain the Son of Heaven's Fate!”
