Chapter 40: The Yellow Turban Dilemma
When the player sent the horses to Han Zhong's military camp, Han Zhong paid the player money for the horses, and also made the player make a small profit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But Han Zhong didn't look happy at all, and when he asked, he realized that the horses that this Han Zhong needed were not 100, but 10,000 times that of 100, and this 100 horses was really a drop in the bucket!
With enough profit margins, this player quickly thinks about buying horses, after all, there are profits, rewards, and points, so why not do it?
It's a pity that the horses in the hands of players are limited after all, and how much can they receive if they buy them aggressively? All of a sudden, many players began to search for horses in all directions.
Naturally, this news reached Li Tang's ears, and after another inquiry, the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng needed it. This is easy to do, the Yellow Turban Army needs to train cavalry, it seems that they want to accumulate strength and prepare to compete with Li Tang's cavalry!
It stands to reason that Li Tang got the news that he should stop the players in the counties in Nanyang County from collecting war horses, but Shi Tianze stopped Li Tang and said:
"Lord, I think we have a good way to break the yellow scarf."
"I want to hear about it!"
"My lord, we can sell the war horses to the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng directly through friendly forces, so that they can train the cavalry well."
"Isn't this an enemy?"
"It doesn't matter. Lord, think about it, we were originally in the business of this war horse, and we sold it to anyone. If you can sell them for a good price, you don't have to worry about whose hands these horses fall into. In addition, if the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army is well trained, will it be the first to come to us for trouble? ā
"That's right! Their infantry cowered in the city, and it must not be a long-term solution! The Yellow Turban Army will eventually get out of Wancheng and attack the surrounding cities! ā
"Their infantry cowered in the city, and it was inconvenient to strike at them. Accidentally, we broke the city, which is not in line with our original intention! Now that they are training cavalry out of the city, we will not be afraid of them.
Eventually, their cavalry will be routed by us, and won't the horses return to our hands! And, if they get out of the city, I can eat their forces in small bites. When the time comes, we will capture the city, and it will be easy to explain to the outside world! ā
"Good! That's it. We sell war horses to the outside world, try to squeeze the profit margins of the second-tier dealers, and strive for the greatest benefits. "Li Tang's order caused Shi Tianze and their doubts, there is no profit in the matter, others are willing to do it? However, Li Tang is the lord, since he wants to squeeze the profit margins of these second-class dealers as much as possible, then squeeze it!
Perhaps, the lord means that he is unwilling to sell war horses! In fact, only Li Tang knows that if it is an aboriginal to operate this matter, it is estimated that there is not much benefit, but players to operate this matter, not only have rewards, but also have points, which is not necessarily worse than real money!
To Shi Tianze's surprise, even if they raised the price of the war horse to a very high price, there were still many people who bought the war horse from the secret channels they arranged, and they were all delivered with real money.
Of course, Li Tang also secretly confessed to his subordinates, opened the door to the road from the city to Wancheng, and also helped clear the thieves on the road, so that the player could transport the war horse to Wancheng. Li Tang did not listen to his subordinates' suggestion to secretly intercept these war horses.
After all, robbery is a one-shot deal, and if there are more times, there will be no one to help sell war horses anymore!
However, 1 million war horses does not mean that the transaction is completed, it is destined to be a long process. Moreover, as the war horses arrived in Wancheng, the daily consumption of grain and grass in Wancheng increased.
At this time, Xu Xuan's fleet had already arrived outside Wancheng, but Wancheng had already driven countless wooden stakes in the section of the Baihe River near Wancheng, and there were sunken ships, boulders and other debris during the process. Because the flow of the White River is flat, these debris cannot be washed away at all, so the channel is blocked by hundreds of meters wide.
In this way, the fleet on the White River can use catapults to attack the city wall, but if you want to shoot at close range or climb the city wall on the springboard, there is no way.
After all, you can't get close to the walls now!
Although these fleets did not make much contributions every day, they successfully cut off the possibility of the Wancheng Yellow Turban Army transporting grain from the Baihe River.
At this time, Li Tang's cavalry also began to be stationed on the land of Wancheng, and once a grain transport team approached Wancheng, it would be intercepted immediately.
At the same time, Wancheng was almost done buying horses, and Li Tang also began to block the passages to Wancheng in various places, strictly prohibiting merchants and players from going to Wancheng.
In this way, after more than a month, the grain and grass in the Yellow Turban Army began to be tight.
Fortunately, in the past few months, with the arrival of war horses one after another, his own cavalry has also been trained, and Zhao Hong has no choice but to prepare to go out of the city to protect the grain road.
Not to mention, the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng couldn't sit still.
In fact, the Yellow Turban Army in many states and counties is now a little unable to sit still. Along with the yellow scarves, many heroes have also emerged in various places, and they are all on the side of the imperial court. Originally, the power of the imperial court was in jeopardy, but with the addition of these heroes and their followers, the life of the entire Yellow Turban Army began to be difficult.
To be honest, in the early days of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were not many players who joined the Yellow Turban Army, after all, many players knew the results of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in history. However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion lasted for a while, there was an unstoppable posture, the imperial army was defeated and retreated, and the system cities gradually fell, and even the county towns fell a lot.
As a result, many wall-grass players began to follow the Yellow Turban Army and began to sweep and pick up some scraps. At the same time, there are also some lord players, their territory is in the Yellow Turban Army's ruling area, so they are faced with only two choices, either the city is occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, or surrender to the Yellow Turban Army, and want to be neutral? Not to mention the Yellow Turban Sergeant, ask the Yellow Turban Force players who follow if they agree?
With the fall of most of the counties, it can be said that most of the lord players either destroyed the city and fled, or surrendered. And how much courage does it take to destroy the city, after the city is destroyed, there is only one village building order left! Moreover, it is a question of whether the residents of the city are willing to follow you! As a result, almost all players have chosen to surrender to the Yellow Turbans.
However, the so-called heroes are born in troubled times, and the more troubled times there are, the more heroes will be produced!
Of course, the most famous reckless hero is Liu Bei, Liu Bei is the founder of the Shu Kingdom in the later generations, and his ability is beyond doubt. Of course, although his strength is high, he is not the top, but his coordination ability, ability to recognize people, ability to deal with things, and camouflage ability are definitely possessed by Xiaoxiong, not to mention that he easily subdued two followers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei through the Taoyuan Three Alliances.
Guan Yu is known as a martial saint, and he is definitely a well-known hero, and his ability to command troops is also rare in the world.
Zhang Fei's force value is even above Guan Yu, and later generations called people brave, so they said that Zhang Fei was fierce, which shows his bravery. At the same time, this person has no ambition and is loyal to Liu Bei, which is indeed rare.
Liu Bei got these two super-first-class historical generals, plus he himself is also a super-first-class historical general. Three super-first-class talents together, and under the three artifacts male and female double-strand swords, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and the Zhangba Snake Spear, a large number of special weapons have been transformed, so the three artifacts are together, plus the elite special troops, and the Yellow Turban of Youzhou has been extinct, and it has crossed Jizhou and killed the Yellow Turban entrenched in Qingzhou. At the same time, it also recruited a lot of elite soldiers.
The other is Cao Cao, who also gathered a large group of brave generals and strategists under his subordinates, and made a great reputation in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jizhou.
Changsha Sun Jian also drove the few Yellow Turban troops in the south of the Yangtze River to Sizhou and Yuzhou.
At the same time, a large number of capable commanders also emerged, such as Ma Teng, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Shi Xie, Kong Xuan (Zhou), Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Du, Kong Rong, Tao Qian, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang, Liu Dai, Zhang Chao, Liu Yu, Dong Zhuo and other talented commanders, basically compressing the Yellow Turban Army in various places into several pieces.
For example, the only remaining points, such as Zhao Hong of Wancheng in Nanyang County, Jingzhou, Peng Tuo of Runan, Yuzhou, and Bocai of Yingchuan were forced to the triangle of Jingzhou, Sizhou, and Yuzhou.
And the three Zhang Jiao brothers, Bu Ji and others were compressed to the vicinity of Guangzong, Julu, and Xiaquyang.
The rest of the Yellow Turban Army has retreated to the mountains and no longer dares to come out and wreak havoc. At the same time, when the Yellow Turban Army and horses in Yizhou were in their heyday, there were nearly 10 million Yellow Turban soldiers, who were also eliminated by Yizhou Jia Long.
The Yellow Turban Army entrenched in Wancheng was originally Zhang Mancheng's troops, and there were originally tens of millions of soldiers. However, after supporting Bocai and others with 8 million soldiers, only a few people remained, and they were finally killed.
Therefore, now the combined forces of Bocai, Zhao Hong, and Peng Tuo can reach 30 million troops. However, Zhao Hong's 5 million (1 million newly recruited) was trapped in Wancheng by Li Tang's 1 million cavalry and did not dare to go out of the city. Zhao Hong and Peng Tuo were on the front line of Changshe, confronting Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.
At this time, whether it is a player on the side of the Yellow Turban Army or a player on the side of the court, there is not much to do! Because the system teleportation array cannot be used, and there are not many teleportation arrays in the player's city, and the teleportation efficiency is even lower, so most players can only participate in the battle of the Yellow Turban Army in local areas.
But there is one point, the Yellow Turban Army has gone, and many players are grass on the wall and have begun to take refuge in the imperial court. The number of troops in the front line of Changshe, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, is only 10 million, but there are as many as 35 million players gathered around them.
