A few hours later, I am close to having the 50~ cities I need to officially win. But I’m not gonna stop there. Cao Cao has vassalized the entirety of the East and declared himself emperor. Including Liu Bei. I am left with my vast jungles, my few vassals locking down the south, and my ally in Gong Du, the bandit king.

Zhurong bypassed several northern settlements, slaying Ma Teng and his son, to capture the child emperor for our tribes.

Idk if the game bugged out or if this doesnt apply to non-Han factions, I was holding off on destroying the Han Empire because it said they would be automatic vassals of whoever has the emperor and I wanted to use them as a buffer to have the entire middle of the map covered. That didnt happen though so I gotta change up my plans.
