Chapter 218: Expedition

After the end of the war, Lu Shuang was not in a hurry to lead the army back, but asked the Heavenly Absolute Legion and 100,000 recruits to escort the captives back to King Kong City or Feitian City.

Although the war has ended, the player forces of each imperial court camp have sent some of their own troops to pursue the fleeing Yellow Turban Army, but the officers and soldiers who are one of the main forces have suffered heavy casualties, and the casualty rate in this battle is more than sixty percent, and there is basically no extra combat power to pursue the Yellow Turban Army. As the main direction of attack, the west of the city was once smashed through the city gate, and fierce street battles began, and the west of the city was full of devastation, and it is estimated that it will take a lot of effort for the county order to restore the pre-war level.

One of the reasons why Lu Shuang's garrison did not leave outside the city in the past two days was that in addition to providing humanitarian help, he also thought about his own plans. Lu Shuang's current identity is not as good as other players, he is still the first Bai Dingqian, and he is not like the presidents of the major super guilds who have mixed with the official positions of one or two small officials, but a general. Although General Pi was the lowest-ranking general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was recognized by the Son of Heaven, and his status was much higher than that of ordinary officials in the eyes of NPCs.

How high the general's name is not terrible, the terrible thing is that the general holds a heavy army, and with the official position of the county order, he is indeed above the general, but if it is a general who holds hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, then the county order has to have some scruples, not to mention that the reason why the county can be defended is that a large part of it is supported by Lu Shuang's troops, otherwise if the city is broken, he may even lose his life as a county order.

But thanks to gratitude, the county magistrate doesn't want to have a tiger entrenched in his jurisdiction. No, after the battle, General Lu Pi still sent troops to be stationed outside the county seat and refused to leave, in the name of preventing the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army from regathering to attack the county seat, but in the eyes of the county order, it was a manifestation of bad intentions or wanting to open his mouth. Although the officers and soldiers of the county government suffered serious losses, the crisis from the Yellow Turban camp was largely eliminated, and the remaining officers and soldiers were enough to complete the guarding work of the county seat.

Therefore, in the absence of sufficient strength of their own, the county commander and the county lieutenant had to rely on the hand of the county government in order to let the tiger leave early. In their report to the county guard, they consciously exaggerated Lu Shuang's exploits, saying that Lu Shuang's appearance turned the entire tide of the battle and repeatedly defeated the Yellow Turban Army. Of course, they will not say that they did not rely on an alien force, but that Lu Shuang defeated the Yellow Turban Army by surprise and unpreparedness with his brave and warlike elite troops, and their county government also worked hard. And then by the way, the legion of Feitian City was brought out, how easily the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, and now under their pursuit, the Yellow Turban Army has gone, and Hailing County has basically lifted the crisis, and then expressed concern about other counties in Guangling County.

These words are obviously appreciation, but in fact they are implying that our Hailing County is already fine, and it is nothing to do if this invincible army stays, but other counties in Guangling County are in dire straits, so it is better to send them to other counties to assist the local court camp to defeat the Yellow Turban Army and relieve the crisis of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Guangling County as soon as possible.

Hailing County is not far from the county governance of Guangling, and there are generally a lot of carrier pigeons among the NPC forces, and the Hailing County Order received a reply from the county guard on the third day after the war. The letter first praised Hailing County's strong work, saying that it was the fastest county in Guangling County to relieve the crisis of the Yellow Turban Rebellion except Guangling, and focused on praising Lu Shuang, whose merits would be reported to the assassin without reservation. Behind the letter is the key play, Guangling County Shou ordered Lu Shuang to lead his army on a northern expedition to help Gaoyou, Ping'an, and Sheyang counties exterminate the Yellow Turban Army. In return, if Lu Shuang can successfully solve the Yellow Turban Army in these three counties, then the county guard will push Lu Shuang as the first credit to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Guangling County.

As soon as the county order got the news, he summoned Lu Shuang to the county government and personally read the contents of the letter to him. In the latest information he obtained, he learned that among the three counties of Gaoyou, Ping'an, and Sheyang, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Gaoyou was the most serious, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Guangling County was second only to the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Hailing County. As for Ping'an and Sheyang, the situation is much better, the two camps are evenly matched, and no one can take advantage, but what needs to be vigilant is that there may be Gaoyou's Yellow Turban Army to support the two counties, after all, these three counties just become a triangle, and they are the next county.

Lu Shuang thanked the county order and took over the order from him, in fact, in Lu Shuang's strategy, he had already taken the Yellow Turban Army in other counties as his own bag, but because he had no formal appointment, he easily led the army to other counties with the power of Hailing County. Therefore, Lu Shuang wanted to borrow the hand of the county order, and he recommended himself, which was justified.

But the result was a bit unexpected, Lu Shuang wanted to go to Jiangdu and Yu, and even Tangyi, but these three counties are very close to the county governance of Guangling, with the strength of the county government, it is not a big problem to help these three counties quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Lu Shuang's dispatch of troops in the past is just icing on the cake, and it has no effect on the central and northern counties.

Guangling County has 12 counties, of which the counties of Guangling, Jiangdu, Yuguo, Hailing and Tangyi are all counties close to the Yangtze River in the south, while Gaoyou, Ping'an and Sheyang are the central counties, Dongyang is located in the west, Yandu is located in the east, and Ling County and Haixi are the two northernmost counties in Guangling County.

If you want to go to Gaoyou, Ping'an, and Sheyang counties, Gaoyou is okay, not too far, and Ping'an and Sheyang are a little far away. Lu Shuang calculated the itinerary, if he transferred troops from King Kong City to Gaoyou, it would definitely not work for a week, at least ten days, and two weeks for fourth- and fifth-order soldiers.

In addition, it is necessary to fight a tough battle in Gaoyou, although Lu Shuang is confident that he can win, but this is "official business" after all, and he still belongs to the territory of the imperial court, which is just more reward for Lu Shuang, and the income and pay are not comparable.

Fortunately, Lu Shuang was not stunned when he first entered the game, since the county guard's order had deviated from his initial expectations, he tried his best to make this deviation develop in his favor.

There were not only the county magistrates and Lu Shuang present, but also the presidents of many player forces, and Lu Shuang hit them with the idea. Now the Yellow Turban camp in Hailing County is not to be feared, and the remaining remnants of the Yellow Turban Army are fleeing in all directions, or hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, or fleeing into other counties to avoid pursuit, which can give the player forces not many opportunities to obtain more points, and now it is a situation where there are more monks and less porridge, in order to compete for points to make up for losses, I am afraid that these forces will have fierce competition.

Lu Shuang remembered that the university teacher said that external contradictions lead to internal unity, and the player forces will transfer internal contradictions when they fight externally. If these player forces are brought to the three counties of Gaoyou to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army, the contradictions within Hailing County due to the competition for points will be transferred out with the continuous harvest of other counties, and they will be more united to cooperate with Lu Shuang on the expedition.

After some negotiations, Lu Shuang quickly signed an agreement with the player forces present, Lu Shuang sent the main army to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army in the three counties of Gaoyou, and other player forces in Hailing County voluntarily sent troops to participate, but the minimum was not less than the fourth-order soldiers, and the command of the soldiers was handed over to Lu Shuang and his legion leader. The two sides can be regarded as taking what they need, Lu Shuang is unwilling to sacrifice too much for his subordinates to make wedding dresses for others, and the player forces hope to earn more points after the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Hailing County to make up for the losses of this period. Moreover, this expedition was led by Lu Shuang's legion, with this thigh, even if they sent the army to be used as cannon fodder, it was better than being chased and beaten by the Yellow Turban Army in Hailing County.

Although it was only a preliminary agreement, Lu Shuang still underestimated their pursuit of points, if it weren't for Lu Shuang's stipulation that they must bring a certain percentage of fifth-order soldiers, they could have sent most of their fourth-order soldiers over. As of noon tomorrow, Lu Shuang received a list of players to participate in the battle, and the total number of people is as much as 350,000, including 50,000 fifth-order soldiers, whose combat effectiveness is not strong, but as cannon fodder, he can barely enter Lu Shuang's eyes.

Because of this expedition, it is necessary to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army in three counties, especially Gaoyou County, where the Yellow Turban Army is the most severe, and it is impossible to take it without a certain number of high-ranking soldiers. Therefore, Lu Shuang decided to still send the Steel Thorn Legion, the Heavenly Absolute Legion, and the Blood Wolf Legion, three legions of 130,000 people, plus 15,000 people of the Blue Wing Legion of light cavalry, as well as 5,000 sappers and war weapon operators, just enough for 150,000 people.

Considering the problem of marching, Lu Shuang sent the Blue Wing Legion to take the lead and went to Gaoyou to inquire about the situation. Among the troops on this expedition, the commander on the bright side is Yu Wenchao, who made his commander value the highest among all, and the commander value can act on the marching speed of the army, counting the grain, grass, baggage and other materials, it will take two weeks to reach Gaoyou. Fortunately, Gaoyou is not far from Ping'an, otherwise the time spent on the march will exceed Lu Shuang's expectations.

In order to get as many points as possible, and for the need for promotion in the future, Lu Shuang also assigned a task to the naval legion, asking them to set off from Iron Sail City and go all the way north, waiting for an opportunity to deal with Yandu and even the Yellow Turban Army in Haixi.
