Chapter 141 The Second Epic Event
Xu Huang returned to Hulao Pass with a bitter face. He did nothing that night but ran away.
He failed to seize the opportunity to attack the central army camp, and he also failed to seize the opportunity to support Zhang Liao. He was just a supporting role for the entire night.
Looking at Li Jue and others who also gained nothing, he couldn't help but sigh at the unfairness of fate.
Not to mention Gao Shun and Hua Xiong, not only did they complete the mission perfectly, they also seized a lot of equipment, including some intact green equipment.
This alone made them both jealous.
On the other side, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao not only killed Ding Yuan, but also directly brought back tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. For a time, the power of Bingzhou increased greatly, and it replaced the power of Liangzhou to become the second largest faction under Guo Hao.
At noon, Li Ru and Chen Xi sat together drinking tea.
"Marquis Wen is worthy of being Marquis Wen, this achievement is simply perfect," Chen Xi praised. He did not expect that he simply provoked Lu Bu, and Lu Bu achieved such a brilliant result in the battle.
Not only did he cut off the two thighs of the coalition forces, he even brought one of the thighs back and installed it on his own side.
"My lord is indeed a good judge of talent. He invested in Lu Bu long before he could show his talent. Now it seems to be worth it."
Li Ru did not expect that he had always disdained the courage of a common man and simply used Lu Bu as a useful tool to order around.
Now it seems that he really needs to give Lu Bu some respect. Lu Bu can easily crush him with this achievement.
"Zichuan, the logistical pressure is so great, why do you look so idle every day!" Li Ru drank tea calmly and changed the subject without any expression.
He had wanted to ask this question for a long time. The logistics of Hulao Pass were in good order, and Feixiong and Xianzhen had both changed their equipment, which made him very curious.
He arrived at Hulao Pass earlier than Chen Xi. When he first arrived, the warehouse had been completely emptied and any rats that went in would have starved to death.
As a result, even with such a logistical situation, Chen Xi was able to turn the tables. He really didn't understand.
"It's just simple work-for-relief!" Chen Xi said lazily.
He has done a lot of things since he was captured by Guo Hao and brought to Hulao Pass. After all, the dark camps outside the pass still look very intimidating, and he is somewhat worried.
Hulao Pass was indeed short of supplies, but Guo Hao brought a large amount of food when he came.
He took a portion of the grain as a reward and attracted a large number of refugees.
Then he had a group of craftsmen transferred from Luoyang to teach these refugees simple forging techniques, and then they pieced together a production line.
After all, as a human-shaped encyclopedia, making steel using traditional methods is not a difficult task. Moreover, with a large labor force, Chen Xi directly built a number of small blast furnaces.
Although it is impossible to produce high-strength steel, it can be used to make equipment. Moreover, because the material is steel, it is much stronger than iron.
However, Chen Xi did not do much. He simply replaced all the troops at Hulao Pass with uneven equipment with sets of equipment that were slightly stronger than the blank equipment.
After all, it was just a temporary measure and he didn't plan to do it for a long time.
After briefly explaining it to Li Ru, seeing Li Ru's half-understood look, Chen Xi did not explain too much. There would be plenty of time for this later.
However, compared to equipment, Chen Xi mainly replaced stirrups for all the cavalry.
Stirrups are of great significance to cavalry. It can be said that stirrups make war horses easier to control, connect people and horses into one, and allow cavalry to swing left and right on the horse's back and complete more military movements.
Chen Xi knew that this thing could not be kept. With so many players, the news would leak out sooner or later. It would be better to popularize it early to increase combat power.
Chen Xi couldn't help but start missing Guo Hao. He wanted to end the war quickly and return to Luoyang to start drastic construction.
Every time he went around every day, he found countless problems caused by backwardness, which he found difficult to accept, and he was fed up with the stinky smell!
He urgently needed to start expanding and developing the world. If he continued like this, he would be depressed to death.
"Zichuan, don't be impatient. The coalition forces won't fade away so easily. The aristocratic families are not a problem that can be easily dealt with."
Li Ru is as steady as a rock. He doesn't understand Chen Xi very well, but he understands the aristocratic families.
Although they seem to have defeated the coalition forces, the real war is probably about to begin.
"Zichuan, what do you think about us granting amnesty to all the Yellow Turbans?" Li Ru suddenly said.
"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Chen Xi scratched his head.
"When Gao Shun and Hua Xiong reported the battle situation, I found that there were quite a few foreign lords in the coalition army, and their power was not weak, while our side seemed very weak." Li Ru explained. The foreigners during the Yellow Turban Rebellion left a deep impression on him.
Although Guo Hao told them that the aliens could no longer be resurrected at will, he still felt that the aliens were a force that could be utilized.
"You mean we should recruit some players to be our fighters?" Chen Xi was also somewhat tempted. He also wanted to get in touch with other players. After all, compared with ancient people, modern people's thinking would be closer to his.
"That's a good idea. I'll have someone write a letter and send it to Wenhe right away."
Li Ru and Chen Xi reached an agreement. The two guys who had little awareness of imperial power did not realize the court's resistance to this matter at all.
Of course, after receiving the letter, Jia Xu became even more indifferent to imperial power. The fact that he killed the two princes expressionlessly showed that they didn't care about the emperor at all.
An imperial edict was thus issued from Luoyang.
Although the jade seal was taken away by Guo Hao, the eldest princess's phoenix seal can also be used as an identification mark.
[The Han Dynasty pardons all Yellow Turbans, and all Yellow Turban players are no longer wanted by the court]
[The second epic event of the Eastern Han Dynasty: The Battle of Hulao Pass begins]
[Original Yellow Turban players can directly switch to the camp under the name of the imperial court/the princes coalition]
The system's news shocked the players in the Huaxia region, and countless players who were forced to go into the mountains and become thieves were excited.
When the Yellow Turbans were defeated, they were wanted by the imperial court and had no choice but to go up the mountain to become bandits. Now that they saw a chance to clean up their name and get away with it, they immediately joined the imperial court and rushed non-stop towards Hulao Pass.
The battle situation at Hulao Pass was no secret at all in the player forums, and the coalition forces that were unilaterally attacked were naturally abandoned by the players.
One after another, they joined the imperial court and expressed their determination to be irreconcilable with the rebel coalition.
Guo Hao, who was far away in Liangzhou, was extremely confused. He didn't know what had happened and why it suddenly became an epic event.
Moreover, he became the highest boss of the imperial court. As long as he died once, the camp would be considered a failure.
The corresponding condition for the failure of the coalition was the dissolution of the coalition of princes.
The conditions for winning or losing for both sides are not difficult at all.
