Chapter 17: Fame and Dissension
The two armies charged, Qin Mo was in the center, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu followed suit.
"White Dragon!"
As soon as Qin Mo called, the white dragon horse came in an instant. Qin Mo sat on it and faced Liu and Guan. He was not stupid and did not dare to fight them head-on. He relied on the power of the white dragon horse to slowly deal with them.
In a flash, the Yellow Turban Army arrived.
Rushing in the front were Qin Mo's personal guards. After witnessing Qin Mo's divine power, not only the natives but even the player generals were excited.
No other thoughts.
In the midst of the chaos, no matter how brave Liu Bei and Guan Yu were, it would be of no avail.
Although the militiamen Liu Bei temporarily summoned were fully equipped, it was their first time to fight in the battlefield. In contrast, the Yellow Turban Army had more or less some combat experience.
Coupled with the absolute advantage in numbers and the power of victory, they defeated the opponent in a crushing defeat.
As for the players in Liu Bei's camp, they were shocked beyond words when they saw Qin Mo kill Zhang Fei. They knew that Liu Bei could no longer influence the battle situation in Youzhou and that it was no longer worthwhile for them to serve him.
Faced with the swarming Yellow Turban Army, more than half of them were frightened and turned around and left.
Defeat!
Amid the chaos, Liu Bei, with the desperate support of Guan Yu, barely led the remaining troops to break out.
Cheng Yuanzhi commanded the Yellow Turban Army to chase all the way to Zhuo County. At that time, Zhuo County was completely defenseless and was easily captured by the Yellow Turban Army, which was equivalent to announcing the fall of Zhuo County in advance.
The war was over, and Qin Mo finally had time to check the prompt sound.
"Kill Zhang Fei, Legend Level +8, Experience Points +8000."
"Win a local war, +2 legend points, +2000 experience points."
Another ten thousand experience points were obtained.
Zhang Fei was a prominent figure in the Three Kingdoms period. He was killed by Qin Mo as soon as he appeared on the stage, which was equivalent to changing the direction of history.
8 points of legend is not difficult to understand.
After the war, Qin Mo did not interfere in the aftermath. He simply selected a large courtyard in the city to house his personal guards camp and went to the backyard by himself.
When the cook brought the meat, Qin Mo decisively upgraded.
"Consume 10,000 experience points to practice the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique to the sixth level."
He ate voraciously again.
After eating, Qin Mo checked his personal attributes.
Realm: Body Building Stage (Marrow Cleansing)
Qi and blood: 140
Skills: "Nine-turn Golden Body Technique" (sixth/ninth level), "Star-breaking Sword Technique" (first/ninth level)
Remaining experience points: 1600 points
Qin Mo, whose strength has skyrocketed, would probably be able to fight against Lu Bu, who has completed his blood transfusion. As for Liu Bei, Guan Yu and the like, he could even fight two at once.
In the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, Qin Mo's strength is already ranked among the top three generals.
The seventh level of "Nine Transformations to the Golden Body" requires 20,000 experience points. If it were in the Black Water Tribe, it would take an indefinite amount of time to complete. But in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, it might only take one or two major battles.
He began to look forward to meeting Liu Bei and Guan Yu again.
…
A fight at the foot of Daxing Mountain swept across "Honghuang" like an earthquake.
The official website was once again detonated by Qin Mo.
This time, no one doubted Qin Mo's strength, and they all gave him the title of "No. 1 Player", unexpectedly ending the competition for the "Oiran" among Du Shihao, Wu Kui, and Chu Zhongliu.
All the stories about Qin Mo were also revealed by the players.
The three months since the server was launched were uneventful, but the sudden burst of strength and the feud with Tang Hao's team have all become gossip that players love to talk about.
It is simply another inspirational template for a comeback.
Another impact is that more players showed interest in the Yellow Turban Army, especially the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army where Qin Mo was located, which attracted the attention of many players.
Many people began to look forward to Qin Mo leading the Yellow Turban Army to stir up trouble in Youzhou.
That's so interesting.
…
The next day.
Cheng Yuanzhi summoned Qin Mo at the Zhuo County Governor's Mansion and said with a smile: "General, you made great contributions in yesterday's battle. Tell me what reward you want." Although he was smiling, his eyes were full of fear.
Considering Qin Mo's relationship with the leader, his great contributions, and his strong personal martial arts, as long as Qin Mo wants, it would be a natural thing for him to replace Cheng Yuanzhi as the leader.
How can I not be afraid?
Qin Mo said: "I don't ask for anything else, I just want to ask the Marshal to allocate me another 500 personal soldiers." As soon as the battle ended yesterday, a player requested to join the personal guard camp.
The players who recommended themselves were not only from the Yellow Turban Army, but also from Liu Bei's camp.
This is not surprising.
In the eyes of players, this is just a game world where the ultimate goal is to earn experience points. Factions, positions, beliefs, etc. are all redundant.
Although Qin Mo knew the truth about the world, as a former master of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, he had long since become indifferent to the world and did not have much of a position in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent.
As long as it helps us become stronger, we are happy to accept players.
"No problem." Cheng Yuanzhi pretended to be generous, "Still according to the previous standards, I will allocate another 300 sets of armor, 500 weapons, and sufficient food and grass for you."
This time, when they captured Zhuo County, the Yellow Turban Army looted a lot of good things, and Cheng Yuanzhi was rarely generous.
"Thank you, Marshal!" Qin Mo clasped his fists.
Cheng Yuanzhi clapped his hands and said, "Bring the things up."
After a while, four soldiers came in carrying two large boxes. When they opened them, one box was full of silver coins, at least 5,000 pieces; the other box was filled with all kinds of things, including gold coins, jade articles, gold and silver articles and so on.
These were all spoils looted by the Yellow Turbans after they entered the city.
"These two boxes of things are also rewards for the Royal Guard Battalion." Cheng Yuanzhi said.
"Thank you for the reward, Marshal!"
Qin Mo clasped his fists again. He could sense Cheng Yuanzhi's nervousness and uneasiness.
Actually, it’s redundant.
Qin Mo has no intention of replacing Cheng Yuanzhi now. For one thing, he himself is not familiar with military affairs, and he does not want to waste a lot of energy on complicated military affairs, which would be a step in the wrong direction.
Secondly, with Cheng Yuanzhi in the front, he could attract the court's attention and would also be beneficial to Qin Mo 's subsequent arrangements.
Why bother to be the first one to stick out.
Of course, not seizing power does not mean that Qin Mo will not cultivate his own people in the Yellow Turban Army. This is the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, and he cannot be careless.
The two are not contradictory.
As the atmosphere was somewhat subtle, Qin Mo did not stay long. After chatting for a few words, he said goodbye and left. The treasures he had been rewarded with were sent back to the base by his personal soldiers.
After Qin Mo left, the deputy general Deng Mao, who was sitting below him, stood up and said quietly, "Since General Qin is so brave and has thousands of soldiers under his command, why don't you send General Qin as the vanguard to Ji County?"
Ji County is located in Yan County and is the seat of Youzhou.
The current Youzhou prefect, Liu Yan, is stationed in Ji County and has more than 3,000 elite troops under his command. He is indeed a tough nut to crack and the biggest obstacle blocking the advance of the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army.
Letting Qin Mo lead his troops to attack Ji County is like driving a tiger to devour a wolf.
"Is this okay?" Cheng Yuanzhi hesitated. What if Qin Mo refused and complained to the leader instead? That would be counterproductive.
"Whether it works or not, Marshal can wait until General Qin expands his personal guard camp and then test his attitude." Deng Mao felt that Qin Mo was not a person who was content with the status quo.
"Okay, let's do it." Cheng Yuanzhi finally made up his mind.
…
Qin Mo had no idea about the conversation in the prefect's mansion and went straight to the barracks outside the city.
He came to select his personal soldiers.
Unlike the last time when he acted quietly, after yesterday's battle, Qin Mo not only became famous in the player circle, but also made a name for himself in the Yellow Turban Army.
It can be said that he became famous in one battle.
When they heard that Qin Mo was selecting his personal soldiers, thousands of soldiers signed up immediately.
Unable to resist everyone's enthusiasm, Qin Mo had to move to the training ground and conduct a strict screening of the applicants. The standards were naturally higher than last time.
After selecting the soldiers, they went into the city to receive armor, weapons, and food, and settled them in a courtyard next to the garrison.
The next step is to select your own squad leader, register them, distribute weapons and armor, and then select talented people from among the players and appoint them as squad leaders, captains, and generals. That's basically it.
All that remained was to appoint two song leaders.
In view of the fact that Xu Qiang had broken through to the Bone Refining Stage, Qin Mo appointed him as the leader of the troupe without hesitation; the other leader of the troupe was Zhao Liuyun, the most courageous general in the Bone Refining Stage who had fought the most fiercely yesterday.
Next comes the daily training, which we will not discuss for now.
