Chapter 29 Jizhou
"What! What did you say!" Guo Hao raised his voice in disbelief.
"My name is Qu Yi."
"My name is Xu Rong."
The two looked at the shocked Guo Hao in confusion, not understanding why Guo Hao reacted so strongly.
Guo Hao circled around the two men again and again, hating himself so much that he had no identification skills and could only see the attributes of his subordinates. Strictly speaking, Qu Yi and Xu Rong were just friendly forces who were temporarily under his command.
"Commander, have you heard of us two?" Xu Rong asked with a little curiosity.
"Wait a minute, let me check it out!" Guo Hao quickly logged off and checked some information.
Guo Yi was a subordinate of Han Sui of Liang Province. It was understandable that when he saw Dong Zhuo was ordered to pacify Liang Province, he ran to work for Dong Zhuo. What's more, Guo Yi was ambitious and it was normal for him to follow a strong man.
But he couldn't understand Xu Rong on the other side. He was indeed Dong Zhuo's subordinate, but how could such a handsome man fall to the bottom and become a soldier?
In order to prevent duplication of names, Guo Hao briefly tried to spar with the two, but after being defeated in one move twice, Guo Hao confirmed the identities of the two and they were undoubtedly the true masters.
After a while, Guo Hao calmed down from his shock. It was not the first time he had seen a powerful general. His loss of composure was only due to his confusion.
He gave the player troops to Xu Rong, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Archer Cavalry to Qu Yi. Guo Hao had more confidence in both of them than in himself.
Sure enough, under the command of two powerful generals, Guo Hao's troops were divided into two, one heading east and the other heading west, and all the Yellow Turbans along the way were crushed.
Faced with Qu Yi and Xu Rong, the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou had no power to resist at all.
Even if a few unknown extras jumped out without knowing the consequences, they were just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and they all ended up with their heads and bodies separated.
If he hadn't been restricted by the inexplicable shackles of class, Guo Hao would have soared to the sky long ago.
Guo Hao, who had nowhere to go, studied his attribute panel and achievement system thoroughly, but to no avail.
There was not a single free attribute point left, he couldn't click on any skill points, and even the achievement system hadn't changed at all. If he hadn't learned a set of swordsmanship from Qu Yi to kill time, he would have been bored to death.
Guo Hao felt visually fatigued from leading the army to battle every day and watching Qu Yi and his troops withstand the attacks from the opposite side and defeat the opponents along the way.
As for Xu Rong on the other side, he was bored. A group of players were like people who had been injected with chicken blood. No grass grew wherever they went. If there were not some supporting generals who always jumped out to act as bosses, this group of players would have been scattered like sand all over Youzhou.
They knew very well that the reason they were able to gain merit from the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou was not because they were powerful, but because Xu Rong was awesome enough. Although it was hard to tell what rank he was as a general, he could definitely kill any supporting general with one strike.
As for the local Youzhou players, they either defected to the Yellow Turbans and ran away, or could only eat some leftovers, because they couldn't beat the supporting generals.
Moreover, on the day when the Yellow Turbans became a paper tiger, Liu Yu ordered his troops to support Jizhou.
Guo Hao was simply a local tyrant in Youzhou, and he was rampant among the Yellow Turbans. However, the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou had no way to deal with Guo Hao. Even if they gathered a few supporting generals to ambush him, they would only be killed by Qu Yi.
The players who followed Guo Hao were enjoying a great deal of success, and their positions on the merit ranking list soared. After all, they had made great contributions in both capturing and slaughtering the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in Youzhou.
Guo Hao's own ranking also rose again and again, but he was always second. The first place was the guy who first built the village.
I don’t know what kind of general he recruited, but he can actually defeat Guo Hao.
Dong Zhuo and Lu Zhi suffered defeat after defeat in Jizhou. They could not withstand the repeated bombardment from the two brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, and could only survive in Jizhou.
Liu, Guan and Zhang originally planned to support Lu Zhi, but they got lost under the guidance of their players and ended up under Huangfu Song's command in Changsha.
Without Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two powerful men in charge of ten thousand men, the situation in Jizhou continued to deteriorate. After Guo Hao led his troops to clean up the entire Youzhou, the imperial court completely lost the initiative in Jizhou.
Dong Zhuo and Lu Zhi were both trapped in Henei County, Jizhou. Zuo Feng, the eunuch who was sent by the court to supervise Lu Zhi, had no chance to see Lu Zhi at all and was directly cut into pieces by the peripheral Yellow Turban players.
At daybreak, Lu Zhi sat steadily in the central army tent. His graying hair made him look very old.
He was neatly dressed and walked on the top of the city wall to inspect the defense. He stroked the sword at his waist in his hand, but he felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.
Thinking back to the time when he just left Luoyang, it was a sharp contrast to the current situation where he was trapped in the city and unable to move. His subordinates were all elite soldiers drawn from the five schools of the Northern Army and the Sanhe Cavalry. They never expected to be defeated by a mere rebel. Now they have to stay in the isolated city and wait for support.
Riding his horse in the morning light, Lu Zhi couldn't help feeling a little sad.
"Zhuo meets the general!"
Just when Lu Zhi was at a loss , Dong Zhuo also appeared on the top of the city wall and bowed to Lu Zhi.
"No need to be polite!"
Lu Zhi looked at Dong Zhuo carefully. It was not an easy job for this governor of Hedong.
Lu Zhi clearly remembered what his party members told him when he left Luoyang.
They asked Lu Zhi to severely suppress Dong Zhuo. After all, Dong Zhuo was a general recommended by a eunuch, and it was obvious that he was not of the same kind as their party members.
Since he is not one of us, we cannot allow Dong Zhuo to gain power.
As a fence-sitter, he really had no interest in party struggles, but after experiencing the years of revising books in the Eastern Palace, he no longer had any interest in fighting against the party members.
He had been editing books in Dongguan for four years and finally had a chance to make a breakthrough. He was really unwilling to give up.
Several leaders of the party were afraid that Lu Zhi would pretend to obey but actually disobey, so they specially appointed a middle-aged deputy general for him, whose surname was Zong and name was Yuan. He was the eyes and ears of the party and was specifically used to monitor Lu Zhi.
But everything ended before it even began. Not to mention being suppressed, he can't even protect himself now.
All the clan members had died at the hands of the Yellow Turbans long ago.
If Dong Zhuo had not brought his troops from Youzhou to support him, Lu Zhi himself would have died in the wilderness of Jizhou.
Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo were extremely worried as they looked at the Yellow Turbans who were lined up outside the city. The Yellow Turban Army itself was not scary. They were a group of peasants who had never received military training and their strongest was just a militia.
However, millions of Yellow Turbans united as one and used their aura to suppress all the extraordinary aura, forcing everyone to return to the state of fighting each other with the Turtle Fist.
In this state, even the elite are just stronger humans , and the gap between them and the Yellow Turbans is very small.
Moreover, the Yellow Turbans were not afraid of death. Even if their hands or feet were broken, they would bite off a piece of flesh with their mouths.
If Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo's troops were not elite, and even included some imperial guards, they would not even be able to defend the city.
