Chapter 28 Player Troops
"Why would Dong Zhuo come from outside the Great Wall? Are all the Hu people shit?" A thin player was a little crazy.
"They are all barbarians from the Southern Xiongnu. Their backbones are broken. It is the limit for them to take advantage of the situation and cause harm to the border. How much do you expect them to accomplish?" said another player with disdain.
"Don't worry about how Dong Zhuo came. Now that Dong Zhuo is here, what should we do?" Li Cai stopped the players' argument . As the commander of the Youzhou area, he was still quite capable. At least the players in the account were convinced of him and were willing to follow Li Cai's command.
"What else can we do? We have to take our troops and retreat to Jizhou to seek out the Great Sage Master." Deputy Commander Wang Hu shook his head and sentenced their plan to death.
"Just leaving like that?" Some players were unwilling to accept this. They had finally worn out Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's energy to the point of being exhausted. If they left, there would be no hope at all.
"Then you go and hold off the Liangzhou cavalry?" Wang Hu sneered and threw the question to the player who spoke.
The players in the tent were silent. They knew very well that they could not stop Dong Zhuo or his cavalry.
"Let's retreat. Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo can't do anything to the Yellow Turban NPCs in Jizhou. Once they are defeated, we will have plenty of opportunities to counterattack." Seeing that everyone had no objections, Li Cai made the decision and gave the order to retreat.
Li Cai was also a little unwilling, but his strength was not enough. All his strategies were meaningless in the face of absolute strength.
Of course, he could retreat, he could not defeat the enemy, but he could still disgust Dong Zhuo.
The Yellow Turbans in Youzhou had strong execution capabilities, and soon a large number of elite troops withdrew from Youzhou to Jizhou. Due to the wealthy family background of the small families in the county, the Yellow Turbans had no shortage of food. They could even use food to recruit refugees to join the Yellow Turbans.
In order to disgust Dong Zhuo, Li Cai left behind hundreds of players to lead the cannon fodder Yellow Turbans to distribute food and recruit soldiers everywhere. The number of Yellow Turbans in the entire Youzhou did not decrease at all.
The frightened city defenders did not dare to send out troops rashly. For a moment, no one noticed that the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou had disappeared, and the only ones left were some poor people who wanted to survive.
On the other side, Guo Hao had returned to Dong Zhuo's army.
Guo Hao completed the task in a satisfactory manner and there was nothing to boast about.
However, Hua Xiong reported Guo Hao's performance to Li Ru in full, without any concealment or omission.
After hearing Hua Xiong's report, Li Ru's eyes lit up. He saw the dawn of wisdom in Guo Hao.
It is not easy to find a smart person in Liangzhou where there are many reckless men. Even though Guo Hao is still relatively immature, his willingness to think shows that he has great potential in Li Ru's eyes.
"Pengju is a rising star in Xiliang. Zijian can get closer to him." Li Ru thought of something, hinted to Hua Xiong, and then sent him away.
Even Li Ru was a little confused when thinking of Dong Zhuo's inexplicable love for Guo Hao, but Guo Hao's performance was remarkable.
Even though Guo Hao's fighting power is low, his ability to train soldiers is a big plus. Li Ru feels that there is nothing wrong in recruiting Guo Hao.
In the following days, influenced by Li Ru and Dong Zhuo, all the generals in Xiliang got along well with Guo Hao.
They all knew about Guo Hao's deeds, and how he dared to draw his sword against the Hu people despite his weak body. As a warrior, they all admired Guo Hao very much. In addition, with the hints from their two superiors, they were also willing to get along with Guo Hao.
Guo Hao placed his status very high. Even a supporting general like Cheng Yuanzhi could regard him as an ant, let alone those people who could kill supporting generals in seconds.
Although he didn't quite understand why everyone favored him so much, he did not let everyone down. For a while, they got along very well, as if he had already integrated into the Xiliang Army.
After Guo Hao reported to the big tent as usual, he told Dong Zhuo all his ideas about recruiting strangers to form a separate army.
"Pengju, this is an easy matter. It is inconvenient for foreigners to be in the army. It is a good thing to form a separate army and let Pengju lead it."
Dong Zhuo hadn't spoken yet, but Li Ru was somewhat delighted.
The Yiren joined Dong Zhuo's army. Used to their freedom, they often caused trouble, which gave Li Ru a headache.
The wise men of today all deeply understand the importance of extraordinary people. Even if they are weak and abnormal, they are like potential dragons in the abyss, and their future is limitless.
It was impossible for him to expel all the aliens. He understood that the aliens were an important group. Although they were weak, they possessed immortal bodies and would surely be a considerable force in the future. To expel the aliens in the army now would be tantamount to cutting himself off from the world.
Now that Guo Hao has taken the initiative to step forward and is willing to take on this trouble, it is naturally the best thing. Even if there are problems later, it would be great to have Guo Hao take the blame.
"In that case, Pengju, you go to each camp and select 200 cavalrymen , and then the Yellow Turbans of Youzhou will be handed over to you." Dong Zhuo thought about the transfer order he received today and made a decision.
The paper tiger of the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou was directly exposed by Liu, Guan, and Zhang who had recovered their breath. After that, Liu, Guan, and Zhang heard that Lu Zhi was in Jizhou, so they went there overnight.
However, Lu Zhi of Jizhou was attacked from all sides and suffered defeats one after another. Although the losses were small, his trend of defeat was obvious.
The imperial court ordered Dong Zhuo to immediately join Lu Zhi. After all, Jizhou was where Zhang Jue was located, and the imperial court attached great importance to the strategy of conquering Jizhou.
Dong Zhuo was unwilling to give up the credit for defeating the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou, but he could not disobey the imperial order. Dong Zhuo thought about it for a long time. After all, Jizhou was a meat grinder battlefield, and he did not dare to leave behind any of his generals.
Otherwise, if the suppression fails and people are hunted down instead, then being granted a title of nobility or appointed as prime minister will become a pipe dream.
Guo Hao happened to appear. He was reliable and had certain abilities, so it would be no problem for him to cooperate with Liu Yu to deal with the remaining Yellow Turbans in Youzhou.
Guo Hao had no idea about Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's scheming. He excitedly took Dong Zhuo's warrant and started to gather players.
By the time Guo Hao returned to the parade ground with soldiers selected from various camps, all the players under Dong Zhuo had gathered.
Guo Hao looked around and found that there were no less than 10,000 players in Dong Zhuo's army, and most of them had been trained by him.
You have to know that the plan set up by Guo Hao was a complete win-win situation. The only unlucky ones were the Hu people. It was a profitable business for both the players and Beiliang.
Since they had dealt with each other before, it was natural for them to get along smoothly, not to mention that Guo Hao was their instructor.
Once a teacher, always a father. Although it is not that exaggerated, most people had no objection when Guo Hao became their leader.
Guo Hao, who originally planned to drive players through interests , actually won the support of most players because of their past friendship . Even if a few players had other ideas, they had to follow the trend.
