January, 184 - Civil Phase

Wan
In the fields outside the city of Wan, a group of men sit around a camp fire. Their leader is an middle aged man, clad in red. "We're going to Chai sang. With all the new Inspectors taking over, I don't think we'll be able to get by without attracting attention. At least, not this far north." The men around him nodded, each of them sipping on some wine. Another leaned forward, his worn face sporting a frown,

"I still think we should've jumped that caravan earlier. So what if they're Imperials? Can you imagine the kind of goods they would've had stocked away in there?" The leader shook his head, glaring at his subordinate.

"Zhang Rang and He Jin are sending those people around, both of them are trying to get the support of the Inspectors. We don't wanna get mixed up in all that, believe me. If we do, next thing you know we've got an Imperial Bounty on our heads and any two-bit Inspector looking for favor will be sending their entire army after us. We need to lay low until we get outta here. Too much going on."

Another man spoke up, he seemed a bit younger. "Did you guys see that Sorcerer back in Pu Yang? Claimed he had some sort of Mandate of Heaven?"

Their commander grew solemn, his eyes on the fire, "I saw him, yeah. He.. he had a lot of followers. Things may be hard, but.. open rebellion? Can't even imagine the bloodbath that would occur if he ever got his movement off the ground. Honestly he's why we're going south. If things ever get going up here its gonna be a blood bath. And I don't want to be around when it happens."

January, 184 - Military Phase

As the month of January comes to a close, reports become widely known of the armies across the Middle Kingdom. In Yizhou, the heretofore thought complacent Que Jian moves an army to take Mian Zhu Gate. Could another person in his Administration be pulling the strings of the military? Directly to his north, Inspector Cao Meng seems true to his word of revolution. In a stunning move, he sends two separate armies to take the towns of Wu Du and Shang Yong. Intimidated by this brash display of force, neither town puts up a fight. Meanwhile in Jingbei, Inspector Wei Ling Qi sends a rather large army to pacify the town of Xin Ye and bring it under her control. Given the size of the expeditionary force, the town quietly accepts their fate. Further north, Inspector Gao Zong sends a large force to pacify the town of Xiao Pei, the people of which promptly surrender as well.

Searches will be posted when personal turns are complete.

Extra Note:Please make sure all searches, recruitment attempts, invasions, and anything espionage related is located in the HQ section of your Kingdom Turn. We here at Way of the Dragon like to think ourselves laid back about most things, but this must be done. Any action not located there in the future will be ignored.

February, 184 - Civil Phase

February, 184 - Military Phase

In the far north, scouts report with panic that the Yellow Turban Horde has closed in on the city of Ye. In response, Han Fu sends his elite shock troops out to Han Dang to intercept them! As that battle rages, the armies of the Middle Kingdom begin to come alive. He Jin, perhaps spurred by the Yellow Turbans or by some disturbing news brought to his attention about the Inspector of Chang An, begins to secure his borders. In one fell swoop, his armies occupy Hangu Gate, Si Shui Gate, and begin constructing a fortress at Yiyang! Zhang Shu himself has not been idle; his armies have moved to occupy An Ding! In Yizhou, the armies of Cao Meng and Que Jian continue to move. While Que Jian overwhelms the town of Zitong, Cao Meng seizes Xiagu Gate just south of Chang An! Meanwhile in Jingnan, the forces of Zhao Hua arrive at Gui Yang and seize it for their Inspector. Meanwhile, Scout Reports across the land report on other, larger armies moving in relative secrecy. Could war be on the horizon?

The Battle has already been run and will be posted shortly. Searches will be posted with PT results.

[Black Hole]

March, 184 - Civil Phase

With the utter annihilation of Han Fu's army at Ye, the armies of He Jin stir further into action. Word begins to spread that perhaps Zhang Jue does indeed have the mandate of heaven, and refugees begin to flock to his camp. Is this the dawn of a new era?

March, 184 - Military Phase

War! Across the lands, armies arrive at their destinations. Foremost in the mind of the populace was the invasion of Ye by the Yellow Turbans. With his army devastated, his squad of new recruits can do nothing but wait as the hordes of peasants swarm at his walls. Further south, He Jin's army begins its trek north to deal with the threat. Arriving by ship, the first of his army arrives at Hei Nei. Just to the East, Inspector Bei Nu's army arrives at Pu Yang. Just to the south, Gao Zong invades Xia Pi! Even further south, Pang Kai takes the town of Shou Chun! Further South still, Zhao Hua takes the town of Ling Ling! Just to the East, Zhen Yu claims the town of Jian An.

Battle Threads are on the way! Prepare for a longer Turn Change.

April, 184 - Civil Phase

Any semblance of peace has been effectively shattered. Zhang Jue and his followers successfully and easily ousted Han Fu from Ye, Huangfu Song led He Jin's army to victory at He Nei, and Bei Nu's forces slaughtered the defenders of Pu Yang with grim efficiency. Unfortunately, the recently conquered cities of Pu Yang and He Nei were not quite so happy to be newly subjugated. Riots break out in the midst of the war, and the cities are badly damaged. Further south, in the city of Cheng Du, stirrings of a new rebellion arise.. could things possibly get worse for the crumbling Han Empire?

April, 184 - Military Phase

Continuing the trend of the previous month, the storms of war continue to blow over the Middle Kingdom. Though the rebellions in the north and southwest are suspiciously quiet, the armies of the Inspectors remain on the march. In the Central Plains, Pang Kai finally makes his move. In one swift move, he sends armies to assault Ru Nan and He Fei. He Fei may be small, but it is under the occupation of Gao Fuli. Will the Inspector of Jian Ye's armies flee at the sight of attacking troops, or will another war erupt? To the West, Wei Ling Qi sends her own army to pacify the free city of Wan. Just to the south, Zhao Hua's army continues its march and overruns the town of Wu Ling. Having claimed nearly all of Jing Nan, can the princess of flowers be dislodged from her position of power?

Battle Threads will be up tomorrow.

May, 184 - Civil Phase

Po Fu's bold move now seeming a bit less so, Gao Fuli's men rest easy. Though he has almost successfully conquered the city of Ru Nan, the force he fielded at Hefei was small and retreated at the first sign of trouble. Meanwhile, Wei Ling Qi's troops overwhelm the city of Wan with ease, causing the Inspector to establish herself clearly as a political force in the central plains as well as Jingzhou.

May 184 - Military Phase

As Spring heads into Summer, blood continues to be spilled across the Middle Kingdom! Continuing their conquest of every town within their reach, Zhao Hua takes Jian Ning! The war in Ru Nan continues on, as the invading armies of Pang Kai near total victory. In the Southeast, ships sail north from Huiji. Zhen Yu invades Wu!

Various other armies move here or there throughout the land; for offense or for defense, who can say? Most stay far enough away from other forces for anything to happen to them. Armies of Gao Zong's, however, have moved within intercept range of Bei Nu! Estimates and the exact location will be posted in Bei Nu's Admin Comm Thread soon, where they can decide what they wish to do about this.

In less violent news, Bei Nu of Beihai has declared himself Prefect! Similarly, Wei Ling Qi of Xiangyang has declared herself Prefect! It will be interesting to see how those around them view their protestations at power.

The battle thread for Wu will be posted shortly, as well as an update to the battle of Runan.
