Chapter 96 Lu Zhi's Military Order
"It's really meaningless to surrender..." More than ten days later, Liu Tao's troops had arrived at the last stop of Wuji County. As expected, they came all the way over and surrendered.
He successively gained 1,200 experience points, but he was not very happy. After all, he still had 10,800 experience points before upgrading.
He also knew very well that Zhongshan County or Qinghe County were not the main strategy direction for the Yellow Turban Thiefs. Especially now that the front line is tight, the officers and soldiers are beginning to counterattack, but they have not even dispatched troops to the north to support them.
Qinghe County should have been fully occupied, and then Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao did not stop and continued to go north. However, they did not expect that they would be destroyed by him and Zou Jing in Zhuo County.
The main attack on Zhongshan County was Zhang Bao's troops, but unfortunately, they suffered a loss on Lu Nu's side. In the end, they vented their anger and captured other counties. Because of the surprise of the front line, they had to retreat and leave Gao Sheng.
According to history, Gao Sheng would be transferred back in the later period, and then he was killed by Zhang Fei in the Battle of Yangcheng... In other words, starting from July and August, the Yellow Turban thieves' troops were tight. Liu Tao couldn't help but think.
The problem is only mid-April, and it is still half a month before Lu Zhi surrounds Guangzongdu. I don’t know whether he has entered Julu County from Wei County at this stage.
"If the first Liwu County is that the soldiers in it meant surrender, but as Anguo County began to surrender, the defenders of Hanchang County, Xinshi County and Wuji County were not loyal to the Yellow Turban thieves. Seeing that others surrendered, they certainly had no intention of continuing to resist." Lu Yan was more open-minded.
Especially after that, these three counties did not completely surrender, and some people escaped secretly. As a result, they were caught up and killed by Zhang Fei when they were prepared. There were 1,600 thieves in five counties, of which 700 were in Wuji County.
According to his screening standards, nearly a thousand people were killed, and the remaining 600 people and their families were sold by Zhen. Since he tried his best to find reliable gentry to buy it, the price could not be increased, and all of them were earned 1,780 trump cards.
It was always one thousand coins, or one hundred and seventy-eight thousand coins, which seemed to be quite a lot. In fact, it was nothing. According to records, the official positions sold by the court were sold at 2,000 shi, and the official positions of 2,000 shi, and four hundred shi, and four million shi.
What does it mean to be four hundred stones? A county magistrate who is in the upper county has a salary of four hundred stones. The county magistrate of the lower county magistrate needs three million yuan. Just Liu Tao has just passed half of it...
Fortunately, I didn't need to go the path of buying officials. Liu Tao comforted himself. With his military achievements, even if he was fighting for soy sauce in Julu County and becoming a county magistrate in a remote area, it would not be a problem.
"What did the prefect Zang say?" Liu Tao asked casually. After recapturing Wuji County, he sent someone to Lu Nu to inform Zang Min.
"Premier Zang said that he would recover the storm of Quyang and Tang County." Lu Yan was about to say this.
"There are only more than 400 thieves in the two counties. He can recover them by himself. With us on Wuji's side, he can leave Lu Nu with peace of mind." Liu Tao nodded. It was not surprising that Zang Min would go to war. As the prefect, he could not sit idly by and watch the county town fall into the hands of the thieves. "So, what should we do next?"
"Before my father's military order arrives, we can only station in Wuji County first." Lu Yan shook his head.
He did not support continuing to move south, especially the news a few days ago that the thieves had already returned. The thieves noticed that some officers and soldiers went south and transferred General Digong to station in Xiaquyang. The difference between Wuji County was only about fifty miles away.
"I didn't expect that Zhang Bao was stationed in Xiaquyang..." Liu Tao sighed, seeing Lu Yan a little confused, so he explained, "In the future I see, he is also the one stationed in Xiaquyang. The Battle of Xiaquyang has also become the last battle to annihilate the main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves."
First of all, it was June and July. It should be that at that time, Zhang Jiao died of illness. I have to say that the disease was urgent. I planned to do something half a year ago, but I suddenly fell ill in less than half a year. After that, the commander of the army on the front line was replaced by General Zhang Liang, who was in charge of Guangzong and the court, and Zhang Bao was stationed in Xiaquyang.
During this period, he defeated Dong Zhuo... So Dong Zhuo, who was the prefect of Hedong at that time, should have gone to Huguan and entered Changshan Kingdom and entered Shangquyang, and then was defeated by Zhang Bao here...
"If this is the case in the future, then we can restrain Qu Yang and even defeat him. At the same time, my father defeated Zhang Jiao in Guangzong. Will it be determined if he can fight?" Lu Yan did not doubt, but just analyzed according to Liu Tao's words.
"Even if we can't destroy Zhang Bao's troops, as long as we restrain him in Xia Quyang and cannot go south to support him, the teacher can attack Guangzong with all his strength. Then we will join forces in the north and join forces, so why do we have a contribution!" Liu Tao also meant this.
It is probably unlikely to go south to defeat Zhang Jiao, especially when the Zhang treasure unit of Quyang is horizontal.
On the other hand, if you put your target on Zhang Bao, you can make some achievements. If you can conquer this city or even capture Zhang Bao, it would be a great achievement!
"It's just that I think we can't go south at least five months ago," Lu Yan persuaded.
"I don't plan to go south before May, and let the soldiers practice well and get it done." Liu Tao nodded. At this stage, he was really not in a hurry, and it was not his turn to worry.
In this way, the group stayed in Wuji County for three days, and the news of Zhongshan County's complete recovery was also sent to Lu Zhi by a messenger. So on the evening of the third day, Lu Zhi's official reply was also sent back with the messenger.
"The praise accounted for 30%... The preaching accounted for 70%..." The letter was still divided into two parts, one was a private message, which was considered as a teacher to comment on Liu Tao's performance during this period.
"You're good." Lu Yan looked at his letter, "70% preaching, 10% turning, and less than 20% of the family's family are not considered a matter of praise..."
Maybe this is my real father? Liu Tao thought to himself that when he said that, it was time to write a letter to go back and report his safety to his family.
As expected, the second order was naturally issued by the General of the North Central Army. Judging from the military orders, due to Liu Tao and others' outstanding performance in Zhongshan County, some of the main forces of the Yellow Turban Thief had to be arranged to be on guard in Xiaquyang. So the enemy troops on the front line became smaller. He led the officers and soldiers to fight all the way, forcing the thieves to Guangping County.
At this time, I was very worried about whether the thief's troops would go south from the north and attack the main force of the thief. In order to avoid such a situation, Liu Tao needed to start moving south today and restrain the thief's troops in the north. In this way, he could safely attack the main force of the Yellow Turban thief.
"Didn't my brother say that it will take May to siege the thieves in Guangzong?" Lu Yan was puzzled when he looked at the letter.
"Because in the original future, I did not join the fight against thieves!" Liu Tao pointed to himself, "As for now, I have become the biggest variable in the future, and because of my joining, the future will be very different!"
"If so, I would breathe a sigh of relief." Lu Yan sighed. He obviously thought about the question of whether it could be changed in the future.
