Chapter 882: Cultivating Mainstream Qi Refiners
Lei Hu has no idea of taking the lead for the time being, and unswervingly farms and squats in Qingzhou.
Under his governance or guidance, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were prosperous, and in just over a year, Beihai County and the surrounding areas recovered, even beyond the prosperity before the Yellow Turbans raged.
With the help of the Taiping Taoist, as well as the assistance of some modern agricultural knowledge, coupled with the beauty of the heavens, the grain crops under the jurisdiction of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban are ripe several times a year, and hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians have been stored for several years in one go.
That's right, in just over a year, the number of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou has increased several times, reaching hundreds of millions.
It's not coercion, after Lei Hu took charge of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, he strictly restrained the Yellow Turban troops from moving around to fight, and did not allow them to indiscriminately harm the surrounding towns and villages.
In order to rectify the military discipline of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, Lei Hu made a heavy hand.
Since he became the big leader, the number of Yellow Turban soldiers who have been beheaded for violating military discipline has reached tens of thousands, and nearly one million Yellow Turban soldiers who have violated military discipline have become the main force of the labor camp.
Although the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and there are definitely many black sheep among the tens of millions of pure Yellow Turban soldiers, the military discipline of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is already quite good, and there is no better one in the entire Han territory.
Even the army has been severely rectified, and naturally the people who are coerced by the yellow scarves are indispensable, and they have also undergone strict rectification, and the number of illegal beheadings is naturally much less, but there are many guys who have entered the labor camps, and they just do free labor for many basic projects of the yellow turbans in Qingzhou.
It is said that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers and civilians were in order after rectification, not to mention, because the grain in the jurisdiction was harvested many times within a year, and at the same time, the infrastructure and transportation were all improved, revealing a thriving atmosphere, which naturally attracted the surrounding poor people to take the initiative to join.
In just over a year, the poor people in Qingzhou near the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army have basically poured into the Yellow Turban Army's territory, which has increased the number of Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers and civilians several times in one go.
Both the number of the Yellow Turban Army and the Young Zhuang have increased greatly, and the strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has improved significantly.
Not to mention anything else, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's eyes were red with envy.
Like the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang all know what is going on, but unfortunately they can't learn it even if they have a clear heart.
Sufficient grain and grass reserves and a stable living environment are not something that the Liu Bei Group, which is rapidly expanding its army, can do.
That's right, since the beginning of the grain and grass trade with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, Liu Bei Group has opened the road of rapid expansion, as long as there is food to ensure that it can be defeated, whether there is military pay is not a problem at all, and it is really simple and easy to expand the army.
By the time Liu Bei's group received a request for help from Xuzhou and packed up all his belongings and left the Plains Kingdom, Liu Bei had already had 1.2 million troops!
Before leaving, Liu Bei also escorted most of the people of the Plains Kingdom, almost 10 million people, to the rule of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, according to him, hoping that these people would escape the disaster of war.
Don't look at the peaceful and peaceful scene in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Territory, but the entire Han Empire is in chaos.
The contradiction between Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is already quite serious, and it is possible to fight at any time, and the plain country sandwiched in the middle will naturally be affected by war.
On the side of Xuzhou, Cao Cao's Laozi was killed and robbed of wealth by Xuzhou generals, which caused Cao Cao to be angry and threatened to slaughter the entire Xuzhou to avenge Laozi, which scared Xuzhou Mu Taoqian a lot.
At present, the Cao army has killed people in Xuzhou, and all the cities destroyed have been slaughtered, creating boundless killings at the same time, but also bringing boundless pressure and panic to Xuzhou.
No one knows what Cao Cao will do to calm the anger in his heart.
Tao Qian is already old and has no energy or confidence to resist the offensive of the Cao army, looking at the surrounding heroes, he just chose Liu Bei, a small prince with the identity of a clan of the Han family, whether it is Liu Bei's past reputation and reputation, or for his son who is not angry, Liu Bei is the best target for help.
Liu Bei was naturally very happy to have the opportunity to gain a foothold in the rich Xuzhou, and without saying a word, he decided to abandon the foundation of the Plains Country and put all the forces at hand into Xuzhou.
It's just that although Liu Bei's strength at hand has swelled greatly, and there is no shortage of fierce generals with amazing force, he doesn't have much confidence in his heart when he thinks that he may face Cao Jun, who has a huge force and is quite strong, when he goes to Xuzhou.
When nearly 10 million people who were willing to live under the Qingzhou Yellow Turban were sent to Lei Hu, Liu Da'er openly and secretly expressed the idea of hoping for an alliance between the two families, and obviously hoped that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army under Lei Hu would exist as the backup support force of his department, not to mention the support of weapons and equipment alone, which would be of great help to Liu Beijun's combat strength.
Let's talk about it!
Lei Hu did not directly agree or refuse, at the moment when the Qingzhou Yellow Turban military and civilians are bent on the great development of production, whether they have the energy to support Liu Da'er's actions in Xuzhou depends on the situation.
Xuzhou is indeed a good place, the order of the land is relatively normal with many people, if the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army can spread its tentacles, it will be beneficial to the rapid improvement of its own strength.
It's just that the old order in Xuzhou has not been destroyed, and the local tyrants and the power of the family are still strong.
Lei Hu has no idea of fighting a people's war, and he doesn't want to be the king's precursor, for other forces that may enter Xuzhou, and clear the old forces in Xuzhou.
However, Lei Hu still gave Liu Da'er a benefit, or a promise.
Liu Da'er can take all kinds of materials obtained from Xuzhou, and exchange them for strategic materials such as food, ordnance and equipment with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, which can be regarded as giving Liu Da'er a lot of face.
Obviously, Liu Da'er was quite satisfied with such a result, and when he left, he was full of spring breeze, and after joining up with his million-strong army, he rushed to Xuzhou to fight non-stop.
Liu Guanzhang's departure did not affect the life and development of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.
With the expansion of the number of soldiers and civilians under his rule, Beihai County alone can no longer meet the needs, Lei Hu is not polite at all, and with a wave of his hand, all the hundreds of thousands of miles around him are under control.
Although these places are vast and sparsely populated, there are still some places that are strong and tenacious, and they have not been completely harmed by the previous Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.
For these guys, Lei Hu was not very polite, and those who were willing to surrender went to the labor camp to report, at least the family had no worries about their lives, and they could regain their freedom after about ten years of labor reform.
Those who are unwilling to cooperate, millions of Yellow Turban Army swept by, and everything was drawn into dust, which could not create the slightest obstacle to the expansion of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
Lei Hu had obtained a few very superficial body refining exercises from the core collections of the Haoqiang family in these places, which were exactly what he needed.
After reading the contents, the superficial body refining methods naturally couldn't arouse his slightest interest, but Lei Hu also learned about this world, the cultivation mode in the territory of the Great Han.
Refining Qi and exhaling, directly swallowing the aura of heaven and earth to strengthen the body and strengthen the soul, and then has incredible power and means, which is very similar to the legendary Qi Refiner.
Qi refiners are actually the predecessors of cultivators, as for the specific difference between the two, it may be related to the strictness of the rules of the world and the richness of the aura of heaven and earth.
Obviously, the rules of this world and the concentration of heaven and earth aura are more suitable for the existence of qi refiners, and they have not yet changed to the level of cultivation.
In fact, by observing Wu Anguo and Tai Shici's daily cultivation, Lei Hu had already had a guess, and now he has obtained a few crude qigong methods, but he has confirmed the guess in his heart.
It's just that he basically doesn't have a clue about qi refining, and if he deduces it according to the method of cultivating the truth, it is not impossible, but it is obvious that this world is more suitable for refining qi, and if he cultivates with the method of cultivating the truth, will he delay his feet, and if there is no specific reference, he has no bottom in his heart.
There is still a need for high-quality qi refining methods, and now that Lei Hu has traveled through the world, his physical trauma has not been completely demobilized, so he is not in a hurry to change his cultivation.
Besides, if he didn't have a sufficient level of Qi Refining Method, he wouldn't have cultivated rashly.
No matter how you say it, you have reached the realm of earth immortals, although because the laws of this world are strict and the constraints on monks are extremely serious, the combat power that can be exerted is equivalent to the initial level of the previous life, but there is no reason to toss around, and the inheritance in the hands of the top generals in the Han Dynasty alone is enough to attract his attention.
Not to mention that there are several quite mysterious and powerful existences, such as the legendary Taiping Taoist Advocate Horn Missionary Nanhua Lao Xian, as well as Yu Ji and Zuo Ci and the like, and even the Wudou Rice Sect, there is also a Qi Refiner inheritance that Lei Hu is interested in.
These can only be put aside for the time being, and they are a little far away from him.
However, the vigorous expansion of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army attracted the attention of Tiankai, the Qingzhou assassin Shi Tian Kai, who was appointed by Gongsun Zan, the lord of Youzhou.
No, Lei Hu is guiding the high-level civil and military affairs of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, planning water conservancy and road traffic on the precise sand table, as well as the fields, when there are scouts to report quickly, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai sent a million troops to question.
"Ziyi, it's up to you to send them away!"
Lei Hu didn't care for half a minute, and casually ordered: "Just drive people away, you don't need to kill them all!" ”
"No!"
Tai Shi Ci immediately received the order and led more than three million Yellow Turban troops who had undergone training to meet the one million Qingzhou troops of Tian Kai's department with great momentum.
After that, things were simple, with Tai Shi Ci's martial arts, when the two armies were fighting, the opposite Tian Kaibu general couldn't raise his head, and the number of troops was not dominant, so he could only leave in disgrace......
