Chapter 68 General Trend
"The officers and soldiers are coming! General, if we escape back to Guangzong County, we may not have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"
The Han army broke through the door and Zhang Liang retreated again and again. At this time, he led a team of yellow scarf captains to climb down the rope and hastily escaped from the fallen camp.
After the players in the Yellow Turban Army camp learned that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were assisting in the Han Army camp opposite, they had already made preparations to escape.
They are here to try to gain military honors, not to actually work for the Yellow Turban Army. When the situation is not good, they are the first to run away.
A large number of ropes were hung down, and thanks to the really smart Zhang Liang, the player escaped from the camp in time. Only some low-level Yellow Turban soldiers were blocked in the camp and became prisoners of the Han army.
Capturing the Yellow Turban Soldiers will result in the same military merit as killing the Yellow Turban Soldiers.
If possible, Chu Tian would still be happy to capture the Yellow Turban Soldiers.
The reason is very simple. Killing the Yellow Turban Soldiers will not only bring no additional benefits, but will also reduce the durability of the weapon.
Captured Yellow Turban soldiers can be taken away from the battlefield and become enslaved coolies in Xia Town.
Whether it is farming or mining, shipbuilding, logging, construction, or recruiting soldiers, a lot of labor is required.
War will consume Xia Town's strong labor force. Without the inflow of labor, Xia Town will eventually become a town with more women than men.
After breaking through the Yellow Turban camp, Chutian alone captured more than 500 Yellow Turban soldiers, and all of them became Chutian's spoils of war.
Zhou Yafu led the infantry into the main tent of the Yellow Turban Army and snatched the spoils with other Han troops and lords.
The situation got a little out of control for a while.
But this is not important, because the situation of the collapsed Zhang Liang army is worse than that of the Han army snatching the spoils, and it is impossible to organize a counterattack in time.
Zhang Liang led the remaining troops to flee back to Guangzong County and abandoned the Yellow Turban camp.
Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang guarded Guangzong County, and Zhang Bao guarded Quyang City. They were the horns of each other, and there were a large number of Yellow Turban camps in the middle.
After Chu Tian and others divided up all the spoils of war, it was getting late and the earth had a murderous look.
The victorious Han army destroyed the camp and won the victory.
"They grabbed about 200 taels worth of gold, silver and copper coins. These Yellow Turbans don't seem to be rich. Now they may not even be able to collect the pensions for the fallen soldiers."
Chutian harvested lightly, but the trophies he got were not very good, mostly low-quality equipment, blueprints, and skill books.
The Yellow Turban Army did not have many war horses, only 1,000, while the Han army, including the large number of lords, had a total of more than 30,000 plunderers, so Xia Zhen only robbed 31 horses.
The main treasure of the Yellow Turban Army should be in Guangzong County.
Chu Tian made a simple but probably correct guess.
Because Hua Mulan was the first to ascend, Chu Tian, who had obtained 800 military merits, was temporarily ranked first in the Eastern Han District.
The competition in the three battlefields in the Eastern Han District is fierce, and Chu Tian is not sure that he can always be in the lead. It is only the third day of the epic battle of the "Yellow Turban Rebellion", and other lords will also try to complete tasks such as "Being First".
No one dares to say that they are number one until the end.
"Your performance in Xia Town is very good. This time you conquered the Yellow Turban Army Camp, and your military achievements ranked first."
Returning to the Han army camp, Army Commander Zhang Tie specially summoned Chu Tian and asked him to reward him with one hundred taels of silver.
One hundred taels of silver were next, mainly 800 points of military merit. In addition to the military merits obtained by capturing and killing the Yellow Turban soldiers in this battle, Chutian's military merits in the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" reached as many as 2154.
Players in the Han army camp focused their attention on Chutian again. Chutian became as important to this military camp as Liu Bei, mainly because he took the credit of being the first to ascend to Liu Bei's side and climbed to the top of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
With his position of 1, it would be difficult for the players in the camp not to notice him.
To be honest, Chu Tian didn't want to attract too much attention. Rather than being famous, he just wanted to get the first place reward.
The reward for first place will undoubtedly be huge.
But Chu Tian seemed to have lowered Liu Guanzhang's favorability towards him.
Regarding this, Chu Tian was also helpless.
Hua Mulan is actively fighting. He can't let Hua Mulan give up the military glory that is easily available in order to befriend Liu Bei. This will make his subordinates feel cold.
"You deserve this one hundred taels of silver."
Chu Tian directly transferred the one hundred taels of silver rewarded to him by Zhang Tie to Hua Mulan.
One hundred taels of silver is the reward for those who log in first.
"Is it too heavy..."
Facing a package of silver, Hua Mulan also felt that it was a bit much. In "The Lord", one hundred taels of silver weighed five kilograms, and the scene of fighting with five kilograms of silver was a bit unimaginable.
"Let's do this. I'll have someone keep it for you, and you can pick it up when you get back to Xia Town."
Chu Tian is still very generous to his subordinates.
The army is the basis for self-preservation and expansion in troubled times. Only if the generals and soldiers are well fed and watered will they work hard for you. Otherwise, the army may rebel.
For Zhou Yafu, Liu Sandao, Gongsun Wu and others, Chutian also had rewards for each, and ordered a knife and pen official to record everyone's merits and then return to Xia Town to implement the rewards.
Each soldier participating in this battle also has a reward.
Every soldier in Xia Town has his own file for future evaluation of titles and to motivate soldiers to fight.
"I just want to farm. I am Prince Yan, the lord of Yangle County, Liaoxi County, Youzhou. I wonder if I can get to know you?"
The lord of Youzhou, who had been silent all this time, took the initiative to deal with Chutian. It was obvious that Xia Zhen's performance in the attack on the Yellow Turban camp was recognized by him.
Yangle County, Liaoxi County?
Chutian knew the location of Liaoxi County, just to the west of Liaodong County, and it was also one of the border passes of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Fan Sui of the Qin State proposed the diplomatic concept of "making friends far away and attacking close friends", making friends with distant lords and annexing nearby lords. This diplomatic concept is even more widely used in "Lords".
Chutian would not enmity against the lord of Liaoxi County who was quite far away from Langya Kingdom unless necessary.
There is no need to be the enemy of the whole world and forcibly increase your own difficulty.
Prince Yan's development in Liaoxi County is quite good. It is said that he has three to four hundred cavalry.
"You should know that Liu Bei's hometown is in Zhuo County, right? There are many free players who support him. He will definitely become a prince, and with the support of a large number of players, Liu Bei's development speed will not be as slow as history, and he may even quickly become a prince.
A powerful force.”
"He has two possible choices, one is Zhuojun in Youzhou, and the other is Pingyuan County in Qingzhou. Qingzhou is near Xuzhou, you should know what that means. If Liu Bei succeeds in Zhuojun, I may be the unlucky one.
If he becomes Prime Minister, you may be the unlucky one."
Although Prince Yan usually keeps silent, he is obviously an ambitious lord, and his analysis of the general trend is reasonable.
With players behind the scenes, the development speed of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian may accelerate, and many events will change. Sun Jian and Sun Ce may not necessarily die young, and Liu Bei may not necessarily go far away from Jingzhou.
