24. Battle Yellow Turban
After several days of preparation and drilling, Liu Bei and others finally decided to go to Zhuo County, at this time Liu Bei was no longer like only a few hundred people recruited in history, and the deduction and mythology of later generations pushed the prestige of the three to a peak, and players near Youzhou gathered one after another, and even die-hard fans came from thousands of miles away.
So at this point, Liu Bei has already recruited more than 1,000 people, and even if the back is strict, the players outside are still surging with human feelings, crying and shouting to mess with Liu Bei's boss, and if this continues, even Zhang Fei, who has a big family, is a little unbearable, not to mention Liu Bei, who has no floating wealth, and Guan Yu, the commander of the light pole. Therefore, the three of them decided to leave for Zhuo County as soon as possible, in addition to sharing the pressure of supplying these recruits, they could also get formal training in Zhuo County.
Although he had experienced the accident of Jiang Da and the Yellow Turban before, this did not affect the mood of Liu Bei and the others at all, and the recruitment work far exceeded his expectations. And Zhang Fei, who is more optimistic about his future, can't wait to have an encounter with the Yellow Turban Thief on the way to Zhuo County, so that he can kill him.
Unlike Liu Bei and others, who are complacent, Liu Yan has had a headache recently. This time the Yellow Turban Rebellion, judging from past experience, was just a rebellion of the people, as long as the court reacted, it would be wiped out in an instant. However, who knew that this time the anti-thieves were so powerful, the Yellow Turban thieves have been fighting since the incident, and they conquered several cities in a few days, and with their encouragement, all the states in the world actually gathered and responded, and for a while there was a sense that the Han family was in danger, and more importantly, the war was about to burn to Youzhou, which made him sit down as a guard.
Liu Yan naturally didn't know that the Yellow Turban Disaster was far more violent and grand than what really happened in history, and this also made the Tianma staff not eat well, sleep well, and even lose their hair sadly, for fear that this Yellow Turban Uprising would accidentally destroy the Han Dynasty.
However, the reason for this is that the 'Pegasus' is self-inflicted. Although it has been half a year since the server was launched, if it is placed in other online games, I am afraid that most players have already slain the dragon and challenge the Great Demon God with equipment full of god costumes.
But in "Three Kingdoms", the 'Pegasus' is too stingy, and just gives you an identity and throws you into the game Three Kingdoms World. Except for some lucky players who don't have to worry about eating and drinking in their second reincarnation, most players are just civilians and usually have to struggle for survival. If there is no chance, it is normal to have no progress in the past six months, and there has even been a dilemma where some players have been starved to death in the game, which is also the reason why most civilian players choose to take refuge in the late Han Dynasty.
While most players, Pegasi, won't let them starve to death, the resources they can obtain are extremely mediocre. It doesn't make sense to be poor and rich here, because if you are poor, not only will you not have any opportunity to learn martial arts, but even the opportunity to study is firmly controlled by those big families, and ordinary people have no chance at all.
Powerful people can pay for some advanced kung fu like Kanghua, but most people can only learn some superficial kung fu from the retired old head of the mountain village, and they are forced to go out of the mountains to find their own opportunities.
And wandering in the world of "Three Kingdoms" for half a year, he may not be able to get together a weapon of his own, so during this Yellow Turban Uprising, many people chose to join.
Why did you choose to join knowing the fate of the Yellow Turban Thief? There's no way, if you join the Yellow Turban Thieves, you can still follow them to fight, to grab, to accumulate resources, so that you can gain a foothold in the troubled times in the future. And those who are lucky have already mixed a leader in the Yellow Turban Thieves, even if they surrender in the future, they can also mix a good place, not to mention that they can choose to temporarily occupy a small city with their own people, and when the world is in chaos in the future, take advantage of the situation and fight for dominance in the world.
Therefore, the Yellow Turban banner was raised, and the world gathered and responded. Originally, they were all players with a wait-and-see attitude, but after the Yellow Turban won several big victories, the players who chose to follow the Yellow Turban made a lot of money, which attracted other players to jump their fingers and join it. Anyway, even if you follow the yellow scarf first, it's not too late to get a little net worth and get out.
In this way, the half-hearted player who was still hesitant and followed the yellow scarf to win several big victories, and instantly fell in love with this way of robbing and making a fortune. Although most of the players are charging behind, grabbing things in front, but there is no way, there are many people, strong and courageous, under the influx of a large number of players, the Yellow Turban Thief is becoming more and more powerful, and even the several battles that should have been defeated, because of a large number of players joining, make the NPC players of the Yellow Turban Thief bold and brave to rush into the enemy formation, so that the Yellow Turban Thief can reverse the tide of battle. And this also gives the majority of players confidence, if they continue to develop like this, where are Liu Bei and Cao Cao, they can lead the Yellow Turban Thieves to destroy the Han Dynasty.
Although the situation became very bad, it did not reach the point where it was out of control, and the Han Dynasty began to recover its disadvantages little by little and turn the tide of the war after a large number of heroes poured into the battlefield with a large number of players under their command.
In this case, Liu Bei brought people to Zhuo County, and met Liu Yan through Wu Jing's introduction, Liu Yan was naturally overjoyed when he got this help, and when Liu Bei talked about his origin, he took the initiative to recognize Liu Bei as his nephew, so that Liu Bei could be treated well, and at the same time train soldiers.
Although most of the players are not very willing, Cheng Yuanzhi, the Yellow Turban general who is proud of his successes in successive battles, still led his men to attack Zhuo County, and this time he has more than 50,000 people under his hands, because the player's joining his power has doubled, in his opinion, it is not a matter of him taking so many people to attack Zhuo County. But for some reason, under the background of the Yellow Turban's victory, on the way he came to attack Zhuo County, there were still people running away, which caused him to have only more than 80,000 people left outside Zhuo County, but it was enough to deal with a small Zhuo County.
And when Liu Yan got the news of Cheng Yuanzhi's attack, he sent Liu Bei and Wu Jing to defend against the enemy, because of the improvement of Liu Bei's status, so this time he and Wu Jing jointly commanded the army, and because of the smooth progress of the recruitment, and the importance of the previous achievements of the Yellow Turban Thieves, Liu Yan happily gave 5,000 men and horses this time, although it is far less than Cheng Yuanzhi's more than 80,000 people, but compared with history, it can also be seen that Liu Yan's generosity and attention, this is definitely not to let Liu Bei and them go to death.
Although the strength is weak and it is the first time to enter the battlefield, Liu Bei has no stage fright, and pointed at Cheng Yuanzhi with a whip and scolded: "Anti-country and traitor, why not surrender early!" ”
And Cheng Yuanzhi was furious when he heard it, no matter from which point of view, he had the advantage, and Liu Bei saw that he was in command of some newly recruited rabble, so he dared to surrender to a person who couldn't withstand his own charge? Apparently he had forgotten that he was also a rabble.
Although there are many famous generals in the Three Kingdoms, after the baptism of many games, most players can also distinguish these generals, but this does not mean that players can also distinguish whether the opposite side is a dragon trick or a killing god in the chaotic army in "Three Kingdoms".
If the player rushes forward one after another when he is unrecognized, even Lu Bu may be hated on the spot. But in this case, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two particularly recognizable generals, are obviously not included, and in the entire Three Kingdoms, I am afraid that only Lu Bu, who wears a purple and gold crown with a three-pronged hair, can compare with him. Even Zhao Zilong of the White Horse Silver Spear and the one-eyed dragon Xiahou Chun after being injured are also a step behind, after all, Zhao Yun is not the only one with the White Horse Silver Spear in the Three Kingdoms, so Xiahou Chun's blindfold cannot be found far away.
Therefore, the player soldiers under Cheng Yuanzhi felt half cold in their hearts after discovering Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and they quietly retreated under the eyes of their companions. When Cheng Yuanzhi sent Deng Mao to attack, some players began to flee regardless of it.
Before Cheng Yuanzhi had time to be surprised that his subordinates would be stabbed to death with a spear from the enemy's unknown general (Zhang Fei), he was surprised to find that his generals had actually begun to flee, and before he could reprimand these deserters and stabilize his team, he was cut off from behind by Guan Yu, who was not to be outdone, and the Yellow Turban thief, who was originally just running with a rhythm, ran faster after seeing that his main generals were folded here, and he wished that he had two more legs.
On Liu Bei's side, what he saw was that his domineering qi was activated, but after just scolding twice, the opposite side began to form unstable, and someone fled from behind. After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei beheaded Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao, the Yellow Turban Thieves were completely defeated.
Liu Bei naturally would not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs, and took advantage of the situation to rush over, so Liu Bei won a big victory with less than a single soldier without a single soldier, and captured tens of thousands of prisoners and many weapons. In fact, most of the captives are players who lie on the ground and wait for the captives to take the opportunity to join Liu Bei and change their ways.
The news of the victory reached Liu Yan, which surprised Liu Yan, after all, judging from the previous record of the Yellow Turban thieves, the Yellow Turban was by no means an easy guy to deal with, but he didn't expect Liu Bei not only to win more with less, but also to easily win this battle without spending a single soldier.
In addition to being surprised, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel relieved, there are such outstanding descendants in the clan, then Youzhou is stable, and the Han is stable. In this way, Liu Yan personally led the army and civilians out of the city to welcome Liu Bei and others who returned from the great victory.
