Chapter 263: Xia Quyang
After months of fierce fighting, the city of Guangzong, which was built next to the Qing River, finally ushered in the moment of judgment. The yellow flags that had been erected had all been taken down, and they were still rudely still on the fire, and the lives of the Yellow Turbans were like the swiftly burning banners, dissipating between heaven and earth.
Zhang Liang was dead, the remaining Yellow Turban Army collapsed, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army were caught up in the process of escaping, and more Yellow Turban Army rushed directly into the Qing River in order to avoid the pursuit of the imperial army, wanting to swim to the other side of the river. After all, there are only a few who can swim over, and the vast majority of the Yellow Turban Army because they don't understand the nature of water, the weather in the north is gradually getting colder, and the river water in the early morning is even colder to the bone marrow, and this endless river surface is like a devouring demon, burying all the Yellow Turban Army that challenges it.
Zhang Liang did not escape the encirclement after all, and was buried under the butcher's knife of Feitian City along with his Yellow Turban Lux, while Zhang Liang himself was shot into the center socket by a cloud-piercing arrow by Wang Yue in the process of escaping, and was thrown out of the horse.
This battle has gained a lot, not only has Zhang Liang's title of historical military general and high-quality equipment, but the Yellow Turban wrestlers killed have also revealed a lot of internal skills and skill books, which is enough for dozens of Danyang young soldiers to be transferred to ninth-order soldiers.
Lu Shuang looked at these trophies, but he couldn't be happy in his heart, because the "Taiping Technique" he wanted most did not appear. In his speculation, Zhang Jiao might have handed over the other two volumes of "Taiping Yaoshu" to his two younger brothers for safekeeping, and Zhang Liang had been with Zhang Jiao for several months, and it was very likely that he kept one volume of "Taiping Yaoshu". However, Zhang Liang did not have it, so there are three possibilities, one is that another volume of "Taiping Techniques" is on Zhang Bao's body, the second is that Zhang Jiao or Zhang Liang hid it elsewhere, and the third is that Zhang Jiao did not have the "Taiping Techniques" in the upper volume at all, and he handed it over to others after learning it.
In short, Lu Shuang's investment and return during this period did not meet his expectations, you must know that the high-ranking soldiers of Flying Sky City also suffered a lot of casualties in the attack, and if it was placed at other times, they could get more gains with fewer casualties.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Shuang was very distressed, the loss of soldiers and equipment was about to catch up with the decisive battle with Zhang Jiao, and what satisfied him more was only Zhang Liang's title of historical general, so Lu Shuang looked at the map for a while, and planned to lead the army to retreat, and the rest of Zhang Bao was handed over to Huangfu Song to go to Quyang to clean up.
"Lord, General Huangfu came over and said that he was looking for you to have something important to discuss." A herald came to report.
"Looking for me? Could it be that Huangfu Song also learned about Zhang Jiao's "Taiping Technique" from where he was ready to hand it over? Lu Shuang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Huangfu Song's gourd, but after all, he was his boss, and his promotion and fortune after the Yellow Turban Rebellion depended on his kind words and let the herald take him over.
"Haha." As soon as Huangfu Song saw Lu Shuang, he walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and praised: "Ben Jiang really didn't see the wrong person, you kid is really capable, it seems that Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang's credit will be taken by you alone." ”
"Where, everywhere, it's completely commanded by the general, and the kid just happened to pick up a bargain." Lu Shuang pushed the road.
"You don't have to be modest, the merits of these days, the generals will truthfully report to Your Majesty, with your merits in quelling the Yellow Turban thieves, the officials of the court are indispensable." Huangfu Song said.
"But if you have bigger ambitions, that's not enough." Huangfu Song wanted to speak and stopped.
"Bigger ambitions? General, what do you mean? Lu Shuang didn't know what Huangfu Song meant.
"Hmph, what else can you do besides the feudal marquis, as a lord of one side, don't you have the slightest idea of feudal marquis?" Huangfu Song asked rhetorically.
Feudal marquis? Actually, I really didn't expect this, Lu Shuang thought to herself.
From the launch of the game to the present, players have always been suppressed by NPCs economically and politically, not to mention such a thing as tearing the earth and sealing the marquis, even if the player is any Cao Peng in the county, it is a terrible thing.
The official position of a local government is far inferior to that of the player lord in terms of real power, but it means that the player has obtained a stepping stone and opened up a channel for upward promotion. If this is of any use, the most intuitive effect is to greatly increase the reputation and be recognized by high-level NPCs, otherwise players will always be just tools in the eyes of high-level NPCs. Indirect points are used to increase the loyalty of NPCs in the province and have a greater chance of subduing historical figures.
As for the feudal marquis, regardless of whether there is a reward or not, Lu Shuang can justifiably become a hegemon in the future, and with the aura brought by the feudal marquis, it will be of great help whether it is to subdue historical figures or occupy a place in the NPC forces.
"What? I don't believe that you don't have a little heart-warming thought, young man, but many people can't meet it in their lifetimes. Huangfu Song keenly observed a hint of frenzy in Lu Shuang's eyes, and seduced.
"Dare to ask the general, how can we meet the conditions for being a marquis?"
Lu Shuang was a little moved, but the marquis itself was not attractive to Lu Shuang, after all, the Qing Dynasty had been dead for so long, and the marquis was only the title of the virtual world in the game, and if he was too famous, he would be shot out of the head. What Lu Shuang is really interested in is what benefits the feudal marquis can bring to him and the territory, when he has fame and strength, he will be like a fish in water in the game.
"In the past few months, you have beheaded millions of Yellow Turban troops, and killed Bu Si, Zhang Bo, Liang Zhongning, Fei Yuanshao and other Yellow Turban commanders and generals, and most importantly, the two thief capitals of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang were killed by your generals, and this feat is theoretically enough to seal the marquis." Huangfu Song counted the achievements of Lu Shuang in the past few months, his face was light, but in fact, his heart was turbulent, and he secretly scolded that this achievement might not be inferior to him or Zhu Jun, but he said this:
"However, your identity is an alien, although you are also a general, but the doctors in the court may not approve of you, after all, so far, there is no precedent for a stranger to be a marquis. But if your merit is great enough, you can leave them speechless. Ben Jiang guessed that if he could kill Zhang Bao in Xiaquyang, with the merit of beheading three Yellow Turban thieves, it would be enough to seal the marquis. ”
......
After sending Huangfu Song away, Lu Shuang summoned several confidants to discuss the content of the meeting just now, and Huangfu Song persuaded Lu Shuang and his Flying City forces to attack Zhang Bao in Xiaquyang in the north on the grounds of being a marquis, while he continued to lead the imperial army to sweep away the remnants of the Yellow Turban army near Guangzong. Of course, Lu Shuang was not fighting alone, Guo Dian, the Taishou of Julu County, was besieging Quyang at this time, and Zhang Bao was defending the city.
In fact, anyone can see that Zhang Bao in Xiaquyang is already at the end of the crossbow, and there are not many Yellow Turban troops in the city.
It's just that Huangfu Song gave this credit to Lu Shuang in vain, so that Lu Shuang faintly noticed a trace of unusual smell. Lu Shuang guessed that Huangfu Song wanted to curb the development of Feitian City for the imperial court, and wanted to use Zhang Bao's hand to consume the strength of Feitian City's army, which not only destroyed Zhang Bao but also caused losses to Feitian City, killing two birds with one stone.
If you speculate with the worst malice, it is estimated that the imperial court is unwilling to see the existence of a powerful Inhuman force, and will even stumble in the middle. Although the party that took the initiative to provoke disputes between the same camp would be punished, no one dared to guarantee that Huang Fu Song or someone in the court would not be this villain, so Lu Shuang Huang Fu Song kept an eye on this "courtesy" this time.
And now it's close to November, the weather is getting colder and colder, and I only brought single clothes when I went out, and I couldn't keep out the cold at all in winter. Coupled with the consumption of materials such as grain, grass and equipment, the Flying Sky City army could not afford to fight a large-scale battle, and many materials needed to be replenished.
Fortunately, Lu Shuang did not agree to Huangfu Song on the spot with a hot head, but after discussing with the generals for a day, he went to the Chinese army camp the next morning to take over this seemingly fragrant task.
As for winter clothes, grain and grass, medicines, weapons and equipment, etc., Lu Shuang paid for them and purchased them from the county on the way north to Xiaquyang. Grain, grass and weapons and equipment are relatively easy to obtain, but it is difficult to take out 180,000 pieces of winter clothes in a short period of time, and the weather is getting colder and colder, Lu Shuang had to let part of the army go back first, and take the elite of tens of thousands of elites to Xiaquyang, preparing for a quick battle and capturing Xiaquyang in one fell swoop.
