Chapter Thirty-Eight: Trapped

Captain Hun guard, can command 8,000 men and horses, but Li Xuan's headquarters is only 2,000 people, although the battle of Guangzong has ended, but the northern army has also suffered heavy losses, 300,000 troops are now less than 100,000, but also to pacify the Jizhou departments, it is naturally impossible to divide the men and horses to Li Xuan, the remaining 6,000 men and horses, I am afraid that after getting Macheng, they can be replenished again.

In this regard, Li Xuan is somewhat unwilling, the Northern Army is the elite of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, if it is taken away directly, it also saves a lot of training effort, not to mention that Li Xuan has a good reputation in the Northern Army, and he is more handy in commanding these people, and he reorganizes the people, although there are 2,000 people as the backbone, but if you want to re-form combat power, I am afraid it will take a lot of days.

Depressed is depressed, but Li Xuan is not too serious, at present, the pacification of the Yellow Turban remnants is basically not related to himself, and the next large-scale plot will have to wait until five years later, and the most important thing he lacks now is time.

Even Li Xuan had the heart to take this opportunity to go to other planes to have a look, after all, the chaotic Three Kingdoms plane was quite stable for the time being, as for the idea of running to Luoyang in advance to operate and deploy, and waiting for Dong Fatzi to enter Beijing five years later, it was only a flash in Li Xuan's mind, and he was quickly abandoned, not because he didn't want to, but because it was impossible, he exiled himself to the frontier, obviously he didn't want to have too much contact with those historical figures.

Li Xuan even guessed that if he really insisted on going his own way and ran to Luoyang, he was afraid that before he could gain a firm foothold, he would be arrested without hesitation and sent to a small black house.

But on the other hand, since the rules of the plane don't want to have too much contact with those historical figures, does it also mean that it is not as the system says, it is completely impossible to recruit generals, as long as you find a suitable method, you may not be able to recruit those fierce generals and ministers who will go down in history?

Thinking of this possibility, Li Xuan's originally depressed mood suddenly became happy, but this idea is just a guess at present, as for whether there is such a possibility, we have to think about it slowly in the future, but this matter is not in a hurry, for now, it is only right to go to other planes and plunder some luck to fill this original plane that belongs to you.

It's also strange to say, the system clearly said that it would get a crossing opportunity every month, but from the time this function was turned on to the present, it has been two months, but his crossing indicator is still stuck at 1, Li Xuan guessed that this monthly crossing opportunity, I am afraid that it refers to the real time, after the things here are basically stable, I have to return to reality as much as possible, as for the current crossing opportunity, Li Xuan is not ready to use it at present, he still has a guess to be confirmed.

Although the troops of 2,000 people are not much, they can really be called huge when they walk on the road, and with such momentum, not to mention some bandits and rogues, even many remnants of the Yellow Turban who are eager to cut Li Xuan with a thousand knives may not dare to take their edge.

After all, he who can become the master of the cottage can already be regarded as a wild general, and he already has the wisdom of a normal person, and the basic judgment ability is still there, although it is not too peaceful along the way, but not many people dare to jump out to provoke Li Xuan, and often see it from a distance and have fled, and Li Xuan can also avoid the war along the way, in order to reach Macheng as much as possible, it is really unavoidable, so it will be swept away with the power of thunder, although there are not many merits, but gathered together, it is also a considerable number, And I also gained a lot of friendship cards along the way.

Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was nearing its end, Li Xuan led the army all the way north, arriving at Daijun in Changshan and Zhongshan, and what he saw along the way was still full of devastation, although he didn't have much sense of belonging to this world, but seeing this scene, he still couldn't help but feel a little desolate in his heart.

But it's just emotion, Li Xuan doesn't have the consciousness of being a savior, he won't be so naïve that he really becomes the protagonist when he gets a system, didn't he see that Liu Dada, who was praised for his benevolence and righteousness in the romance, is now also actively running for the future, turning a blind eye to the lives and deaths of the people along the way? What kind of mind is he a mortal?

Along the way, Li Xuan has been thinking about a question, where is his future path?

This question seems a bit nonsense, since you are in the Three Kingdoms, you have a good start, plus the system is close to you, and you have the advantage of being familiar with the historical trend, being able to control the historical context, compete for dominance in the world, and establish new plane rules is almost a sure thing, and there is no need to think about it at all.

However, Li Xuan didn't think about this problem, dominating the world, basically Li Xuan never cared, although he now only has two thousand troops in his hands plus a city that is only known for its name, but he can enter different planes to plunder, and the time conversion between the main world and the original plane is also a big advantage for Li Xuan.

Although at present, Li Xuan's strength is a bit scum compared to those fierce generals, and even a top fierce general can sweep him now, single-handedly uprooting the power of his current hard-working elites, but when it comes to potential, as long as he is given enough time, Li Xuan believes that he is definitely far more than any prince of this plane, thinking about the scene of sweeping the world with elites of various planes in the future, Li Xuan can't help but feel excited.

However, with the system in hand, it can only explain the potential, how to transform this potential into real strength is the biggest problem facing Li Xuan at present, and this problem is by no means a utopian dream.

Think about it, if you stay in this plane for five years, it will only be more than a month in reality, and there will indeed be no feeling of vicissitudes, and the advantage of being familiar with the historical plot is enough for Li Xuan to develop into a prince, participate in the plot of the princes after five years, and then obtain the political capital to dominate the world.

But during this time, there are only one or two opportunities to enter other planes, and it is impossible to obtain predatory development, and there is basically not much possibility for you to stand out among the princes.

And if you want to develop predatorily, it is very necessary to spend part of your time in reality, and what Li Xuan is thinking about now is what to do in reality?

After all, in order to get more dimensional resources, it is essential to stay in reality, and now, although Li Xuan is much stronger than the last time he returned to reality, there are not many things that can really be used in reality, and a good gambling skill is the only life skill that Li Xuan can use at present.

Engaged in business, Li Xuan doesn't have that brain, and in the human society, he doesn't have enough network and a lot of time to operate, so it is absolutely wishful thinking to make achievements in business.

Struggling at the bottom of society with unwillingness and helplessness as before? Li Xuan didn't think about it, he was used to commanding thousands of troops and horses, and he was used to the respect of others, and it was really difficult for him to be that ruffian young man again, which is also what the ancients said, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift.

As for being an underworld boss, Li Xuan didn't think about it, with his skills, not to mention getting bigger, but it is by no means difficult to occupy the current glorious territory, but if you want to do it bigger, with Huaxia's current policy, it is very difficult.

Along the way, thinking constantly, one plan after another was denied, unconsciously, a group of people and horses have arrived in the range of Macheng, far away can already see the city wall of Macheng, and then look into the distance, can already see the shadow of the mountains and even the Great Wall.

The mood is inexplicably much better, after all, this place will be your own city for a long time in the future, even if it is your own city, it is also the first city you really own in this plane, if it is more intimate, this place will be your home in this world in the future.

But it seems that the current state of this home is not very good?

"Here...... Is it Horse City? Outside the Macheng Gate, looking at an obscene middle-aged man dressed as a sharp-beaked monkey cheek master, with dozens of uneven soldiers coming out to greet him, Li Xuan looked up at the words on the dilapidated city wall, still looked back in disbelief, looked at Li Shan beside him and asked.

Can the city in front of you be described as a city?

The broken city wall has collapsed in many places, although the foundation is still there, but looking at the angle of inclination behind the city wall, not to mention the infantry, it is estimated that the cavalry can ride up on horseback.

Macheng belongs to the county-level city, according to the setting of this plane, the ten-zhang high city wall is true, but it is really a part of the city wall...... Li Xuanyou looked around, and it took a long time to find a section of the city wall that barely reached the standard, and the standard was only compared with other places, whether it was Zhuo County at the beginning or several cities experienced later, compared with the city wall in front of him, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a ruined wall.

Through the city gate, Li Xuan glanced at the city and had no desire to continue looking, not so much a city, it might be more appropriate to describe it as a ruins.

"Yes." Li Shan and the four generals of the Wind and Fire Forest behind them are not very good-looking, such a city, although the scale is still there, but look at the large overgrown fields outside the city, you can know that the population of this city is definitely not more than three digits.

"What's your name?" Li Xuan sat on horseback, took a deep breath, condescendingly, looked down at this somewhat sharp-beaked monkey gill, and asked.

"In Xia Zhao Chuan, in a nutshell, it is the county seat of Macheng, which is responsible for managing the civil affairs and documents of Macheng." Obviously, seeing that the general in front of him was not very good-looking, coupled with the fierce aura faintly emanating from Li Xuan's body at the moment, Zhao Chuan's head was unconsciously lowered when he spoke.

"County?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, his sharp gaze fell on Zhao Chuan, and he snorted coldly: "Then let me ask you, where is the order of Macheng County?" Why don't you come out and greet you? "The captain of the Huns, although he is not a big official, but his authority is not small, the cities in this border area are theoretically within his scope of responsibility, and the Macheng County Order, although he is not in charge, but in the final analysis, the rank is also below him.

"This ......" Zhao Chuan hesitated for a moment, plucked up the courage to look up at Li Xuan and said: "A few days ago, the state pastoral government came to envoy, removed the county order and county lieutenant, and issued a document. ”

"Hehe, it's a big right!" Li Xuan snorted, he knew that this time he was pitted, but now, even if he knew that it was a pit, he could only jump inside, and waved his hand at the moment: "Enter the city!" ”
