Chapter 24: Remove the Fire from the Bottom of the Pot to Suppress Youzhou
The next day, Gongsun Zan led more than ten riders and fled back to Tuyin County in a panic.
At the same time, Qin Mo led the personal guard battalion, using Wuzhong County as a base, and began to attack from all sides, sweeping through the counties of Youbeiping County, with the intention of swallowing up the entire Youbeiping County.
Just three days later, Qiuliju, the leader of the Wuhuan in Liaoxi, received the news and immediately led 10,000 tribesmen to Youbeiping County, surrounding Tuyin County without any escape.
Gongsun Zan defended the city and refused to leave.
Another five days.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the Qin Mo tribe, which seemed to be attacking in all directions, quietly gathered together and suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Tuyin County.
Qiuliju's troops were fighting hard to attack the city, and Qin Mo led the personal guard battalion to suddenly attack from the rear.
Upon receiving the signal, Gongsun Zan personally led two thousand elite cavalry out of the city and, in coordination with the personal guard battalion, attacked Qiuliju's troops from the front and back, defeating them in one fell swoop.
Qiu Liju was killed in the chaos, and countless people surrendered.
After the war, Qin Mo led his troops to enter Tuyin County and became the actual master of Youbeiping County; in exchange, Gongsun Zan led his troops eastward, swept away the remnants of Qiuliju, and occupied Liaoxi County.
The situation in Youzhou changed drastically.
…
Regardless of the turmoil in Youzhou, the Central Plains was relatively calm in July.
In Jingzhou, Zhu Jun led his troops to besiege Zhao Hong, but was unable to capture him and the situation was stuck in a stalemate.
In Jizhou, Lu Zhi was framed because he did not bribe the little yellow-haired man. Emperor Ling was furious and ordered Lu Zhi to be summoned back to the capital in a prisoner car. The court replaced Lu Zhi with Dong Zhuo and continued to attack Zhang Jue.
In Yizhou, the Five Pecks of Rice Sect rebelled in Ba County and was not taken seriously by the court.
…
August 1st, Tuyin County.
After occupying Youbeiping County, Qin Mo used the 600 cavalry prisoners of war from Gongsun Zan's former subordinates as the basis, selected 400 elite soldiers from the three divisions of the Royal Guard Camp, and formed the first cavalry unit, which he personally commanded.
If there are vacancies in the three departments, they will be selected from the surrendered soldiers of the Qiuliju department.
Although Qiuliju was a Wuhuan, a small half of his army were Han people, no different from the peasants who rebelled against the Yellow Turbans.
Even so, it still cannot satisfy Qin Mo's ambition.
Qin Mo will never forget that he came to the Three Kingdoms subcontinent to earn experience points and level up, not to really become the king here and enjoy worldly pleasures.
If you really proceed step by step, it will take a long time to collect the 150,000 experience points required for the eighth and ninth levels of "Nine Transformations of Golden Body".
The daylilies are cold.
From leaving Ji County to now, Qin Mo has led his troops to capture two counties and won two local wars. Together with the surplus from before, he has accumulated a total of 22,000 experience points.
In view of this, Qin Mo sent a secret letter to Zhang Jiao.
In the letter, Qin Mo reported in detail what he had done since entering Youzhou. He also analyzed the current situation of the Yellow Turbans for Zhang Jue and suggested that Zhang Jue shrink the front line and strengthen the deployment of troops in Yizhou.
At the same time, Youzhou was used as the Yellow Turbans' last retreat.
As for other things, Qin Mo did not mention a word in the letter. I believe that with Zhang Jiao's wisdom, he will definitely understand the deeper meaning.
…
Yizhou, Guangzong County.
Compared to four months ago, Zhang Jiao looked much older. The "Five Elements Talismans (Selected)" Qin Mo gave him further increased the exhaustion of his mind and spirit.
Zhang Jue knew that he would not live long.
After reading Qin Mo's secret letter, Zhang Jue fell into deep thought. Although he was reluctant to admit that the situation had not yet reached the worst point, he knew that the Yellow Turban Rebellion had failed.
"Is it the end?" Zhang Jue was unwilling.
The appearance of Qin Mo and his actions in Youzhou showed Zhang Jiao a new possibility. Although that hope was also slim, it was better than disappearing into thin air.
Nothing is left.
The most important thing is that Qin Mo is too mysterious.
When the two met, although Qin Mo was only in the Body Tempering Stage, Zhang Jiao felt that Qin Mo's spiritual awareness was stronger than his. The pressure coming from the depths of his soul was even greater than that of his master, the Immortal Nanhua.
That's the variable.
After thinking it over for three days, Zhang Jue finally made up his mind. While he was still conscious, he issued 16 secret orders to the leaders of the Yellow Turban armies, which was equivalent to arranging his funeral in advance.
…
Youzhou, Jixian County.
The past month has been a mixed bag for Cheng Yuanzhi.
The good news was that he finally sent away the demigod Qin Mo, and he regained control of the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou. That feeling of "not being able to sleep well" was finally gone.
What is worrying is that Qin Mo has taken over two counties in just two months. Even without the support of the base camp, he has already established a firm foothold in Youzhou and can even compete with the base camp.
It really makes me worried.
At this moment, Cheng Yuanzhi received a secret order from the leader Zhang Jiao. After opening it, his face became gloomy and his mouth was bitter, as if he had eaten a fly.
It turned out that Zhang Jue made the appointment and dismissal of the main generals of the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou.
Cheng Yuanzhi led half of the main force of the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army to the south to Yizhou to gather and prepare for a decisive battle with the government troops. Qin Mo, a guest official of the Taiping Dao and deputy general of the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army, was promoted to the commander of the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army.
Deputy General Deng Mao stayed in Youzhou to assist Qin Mo.
"So you were waiting for me here." Cheng Yuanzhi gritted his teeth.
He's not stupid.
Cheng Yuanzhi suspected that this was all arranged in advance by the leader and Qin Mo. They were just waiting for him to stabilize the situation in the four counties of Youzhou, and then they would cut off the source of the trouble and hand over the entire Youzhou to Qin Mo.
"What a mean person!"
Cheng Yuanzhi thought Qin Mo was really not competitive, but it turned out that he was playing tricks behind his back.
However angry he was, Cheng Yuanzhi could not refuse the leader's secret order and could only carry it out obediently. Otherwise, the leader could expel him from the Taiping Sect with a single order.
Then it's really nothing.
Perhaps out of spite, the next day, without waiting for Qin Mo to arrive in Ji County for the handover, Cheng Yuanzhi left Youzhou with all the elite Yellow Turban Army of Youzhou and the massive amount of supplies he had looted.
All that was left for Qin Mo was a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp, and a big burden.
…
Youbeiping County, Tuyin County.
After receiving the appointment, Qin Mo showed a smile. He was not happy about being promoted to Qu Shuai, but he was happy that Zhang Jue adopted his suggestion.
This is very beneficial to his subsequent arrangements.
"Appointed as the commander of the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou, Legend level +5, and 5,000 experience points."
Because Qin Mo was promoted from deputy general to commander this time, he had been rewarded with 5 legendary points before, so he was only rewarded with 5 points for this promotion.
It is still relatively reasonable.
After putting away the appointment letter, Qin Mo immediately summoned three generals, Xu Qiang, Zou Jing, and Zhao Liuyun, to discuss matters . "I will rush to Ji County tomorrow to take charge. After I leave, Youbeiping County and Yuyang County will have troops left to take charge."
The three of them looked at each other, their faces expressionless.
If possible, they certainly hope to lead their troops to guard a county and become a small lord.
Especially the two players Xu Qiang and Zhao Liuyun, who have been with Qin Mo since the beginning. In just four months, both their personal cultivation and personal authority have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Recently, both of them were selected into the top 100 list of "Honghuang".
The scenery is endless.
If they can guard a county, it will surely attract attention again. This is an achievement that the three star players Du Shihao, Wu Kui and Chu Zhongliu have not achieved.
Qin Mo didn't play dumb and said, "Xu Qiang!"
"exist!"
Xu Qiang suppressed his excitement, stood up and clasped his fists.
"I order you to lead your troops to garrison Youbeiping County and cooperate with Gongsun Zan's troops to continue to wipe out the remnants of the Wuhuan." Youbeiping County borders Liaoxi County and is the most unstable place.
Qin Mo handed this place over to Xu Qiang to guard, which shows his trust in Xu Qiang.
"promise!"
Xu Qiang clasped his fists again, looking excited.
"Zhao Liuyun!" Qin Mo said.
"exist!"
Zhao Liuyun stood up and glanced at Zou Jing's disappointed look.
"You are ordered to lead your troops to guard Yuyang County." Qin Mo ordered.
"promise!"
Zhao Liuyun was satisfied.
Qin Mo finally looked at Zou Jing and said, "General Zou, lead your troops and the cavalry unit and follow me back to Ji County." If you want to take over the four western counties of Youzhou, you must have some direct troops at hand.
The reason why Zou Jing was taken away was that he had previously served as a captain to protect Wuhuan and was familiar with the area around Ji County.
"promise!"
Zou Jing clasped his fists, expressionless.
