Chapter Thirty-Eight
The captain of the Xiongnu can command eight thousand men, but Li Xuan's troops only have two thousand men. Although the battle of Guangzong has ended, the Northern Army has also suffered heavy damage. The 300,000 army now has less than 100,000. It is natural that it is impossible to distribute troops to Li Xuan to plunder the remaining six thousand men. The remaining six thousand men may be replenished after they have obtained the Macheng.
Li Xuan was somewhat unwilling to accept this. The Northern Army was the elite of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty. If he took it away directly, he would save a lot of training. What's more, Li Xuan was well-known among the Northern Army and was more at ease in commanding these men and horses. He reorganized the men and horses. Although these two thousand people were the backbone, it would probably take a lot of time to rebuild combat power.
Even though he was depressed, Li Xuan was not too serious. Now that he was suppressing the Yellow Turban Remnants, he had to wait five years later for the next large plot. What he lacked the most now is probably time.
Li Xuan even wanted to take this opportunity to take a look at other planes. After all, the chaotic Three Kingdoms plane is temporarily stable. As for the idea of running to Luoyang in advance to operate and deploying, waiting for Fatty Dong to Beijing after five years, Li Xuan's mind just flashed and was quickly abandoned by him. It was not that he didn't want to, but that it was impossible to exile himself to the frontier. It was obviously not that he did not want to have too much contact with those historical figures.
Li Xuan even speculated that if he really insisted on his own and ran to Luoyang, he might not have gained a foothold and would be arrested without hesitation and sent to a small dark room, facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes until Fatty Dong entered Beijing.
However, on the other hand, since the plane rules do not want to have too much contact with those historical figures, does it mean that it is not as the system says that it is impossible to recruit military generals at all. As long as you find a suitable method, you may not be able to recruit those powerful generals and ministers who are famous for their history.
Thinking of this possibility, Li Xuan was immediately happy, but this idea was just a guess at the moment. As for whether there is this possibility, he still has to think about it slowly in the future. However, this matter is not urgent. At present, it is reasonable to go to other planes as soon as possible to plunder some luck to fill this original plane of his own.
It's strange that the system clearly stated that it would get a time travel opportunity every month, but it has been at least two months since it was turned on this function, but his time travel indicators are still on 1. Li Xuan guessed that this monthly time travel opportunity may refer to real time. After things are basically stable, he will have to return to reality as soon as possible. As for the current time travel opportunity, Li Xuan is not going to use it at present, and he still has a guess to be confirmed.
Although there are not many troops of two thousand people, they can be said to be very powerful when walking on the road. Not to mention some bandits, even many Yellow Turban remnants who wish to cut Li Xuan into pieces may not dare to sing their sharp edges.
After all, those who can become the lord of a parody can be regarded as a wild general. They already have the wisdom of a normal person and have basic judgment ability. Although the road is not peaceful, not many people dare to jump out and provoke Li Xuan. They often flee from afar when they see it. Li Xuan can also avoid the war along the way, in order to arrive at Macheng as soon as possible. If they really can't avoid it, they will use thunder to wipe out it out. Although they have not made many achievements, they can gather together and they can also be considered a considerable number, and they have also obtained many friendship cards along the way.
Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion is coming to an end, Li Xuan led his army all the way north, often reaching Dai County at the mountain and Zhongshan. What he saw along the way was still devastated. Although he could not say much about the world, he still couldn't help but feel a little desolate in his heart when he saw this scene.
But it was just a feeling. Li Xuan did not realize that he was a savior. He would not be naive enough to become the protagonist if he got a system. He did not see that Liu Dada, who was praised for his unparalleled kindness in the Romance, is now actively rushing for the future. He turned a blind eye to the people along the way. He is a mortal, and he is fucked by his own will.
Along the way, Li Xuan was 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, and with the system, you have the advantage of being familiar with the direction of history. Being able to control the historical context, fight for dominance of the world, and establish new plane rules is almost a foregone conclusion, and you don’t need to think too much.
However, Li Xuan was not thinking about this problem. Li Xuan had basically never cared about unifying the world. Although he only had two thousand troops and a city that was only known, he could enter different planes to plunder. Moreover, the time conversion between the main world and the original plane was also a great advantage for Li Xuan.
Although at present, Li Xuan's strength is a bit bad compared to those fierce generals, and even a top-level general can sweep him now, and uproot the power of his current hard-working elites alone, speaking of potential, as long as he is given enough time, Li Xuan believes that he is definitely far more than any prince in this plane. Thinking about the scene of sweeping the world with elites from various planes in the future, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel excited.
However, the system in hand 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 fantasy.
The time conversion ratio between the main world and the real world is a discount, but it is also a constraint. Think about it, if you stay in this plane for five years, in reality, you will not feel like you have changed for only more than a month. And you are familiar with the advantages of historical plots. Five years is enough to develop Li Xuan into a vassal, participate in the plot of the princes who will fight for Dong five years later, and then obtain the political capital to fight for the world.
But there are only one or two opportunities to enter other planes during this period. It is impossible to obtain plundering development. In addition, Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, so there are basically no possibility of standing out among the princes.
If you want to develop in a predatory way, it is very necessary to spend some time staying in reality. The future path that Li Xuan is thinking about is what to do in reality
After all, in order to obtain more plane resources, staying in reality is essential. Now, although Li Xuan is much stronger than the last time he returned to reality, there are not many things that can be used in reality. A good gambling technique is the only life skill that Li Xuan can currently possess.
Li Xuan has no brains in business, and in a human society, he does not have enough networks and a lot of time to manage his business. It is definitely a delusion to make achievements in business.
As before, Li Xuan struggled at the bottom of society with unwillingness and helplessness. He had never thought of it. He was used to commanding thousands of troops and respecting others. It was really difficult to make him regain the somewhat ruffian young man. This is also what the ancients said, "It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."
As for being a gangster, Li Xuan had thought that with his skills, he would not talk about it, but occupying the current glorious territory is definitely not difficult. However, it is difficult to make it bigger with China's current policies.
I kept thinking along the way, and one by one, and then one by one, and before I knew it, a group of people had arrived at the area of Macheng. I could see the walls of Macheng from afar. Looking further away, I could see the shadows of the mountains and steep mountains and even the Great Wall.
I felt much better inexplicably. After all, even if this place is my own city for a long time, it will be the first city I truly own in this plane. If it is more considerate, this place will be my home in this world in the future.
But it seems that the house is not in good condition now
This is outside the Macheng Gate. Looking at a vulgar middle-aged man dressed in a sharp-mouthed monkey-mouthed master, bringing dozens of uneven soldiers to greet him, Li Xuan looked up at the words on the old city wall, and turned around in a little unbelievable way, looking at Li Shan beside him and asked.
Can the city in front of you still be described as a city?
There were many places in the damaged city wall collapsed. Although the foundation was still there, judging from the angle of the incline behind the city wall, let alone infantry, it is estimated that cavalry can rush up on horseback.
Macheng is a county-level city. According to the setting of this plane, a ten-meter-high city wall is correct, but it is truly a part of the city wall that can be called the city wall. Li Xuan looked around and found a city wall that barely met the standards. The meeting standards was only compared with other places. Whether it was Zhuo County at the beginning or the few cities he experienced later, it would be no exaggeration to say that the city wall in front of him was ruined.
Through the city gate, Li Xuan glanced at the city and didn't continue to look. Rather than saying it was a city, it might be more appropriate to describe it as a ruin.
Yes. Li Shan and the four generals of Fenghuo Lin behind him were not very good-looking. Although the scale of such a city is still there, you can tell that the population of this city is definitely not more than three digits.
What is your name? Li Xuan sat on the horse's back, took a deep breath, looked down at the master with a little pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, and asked.
In the following Zhao Chuan, whose name is Jianyan, is Macheng County, responsible for managing the civil affairs documents of Macheng. It is obvious that the general in front of him is not very good-looking, and coupled with the fierce aura emitted by Li Xuan at this moment, Zhao Chuan's head unconsciously lowered his head when he spoke.
County Magistrate Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, his sharp eyes fell on Zhao Chuan like a knife, and he snorted coldly: Then let me ask you, why did the Macheng County Magistrate not come out to welcome the Xiongnu Captain? Although he is not a high-ranking official, his power is not small. The cities around the border are theoretically within his scope of responsibility. Although Macheng County Magistrate is not under his jurisdiction, the level is also below him.
Zhao Chuan hesitated for a moment, and mustered up the courage to look up at Li Xuan and said: Recently, the envoy from the provincial governor's office has withdrawn the county magistrate and magistrate and issued a document. All personnel appointments and even subordinate officials in Macheng are managed by the general and there is no need to report them.
