Chapter 30: The Yellow Turbans of Yingchuan
Although violence is not the best way to solve problems, when violence really starts, it can solve all problems.
When Guo Hao led his troops to ruthlessly plow the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou, many refugees who had originally joined the Yellow Turbans for food were completely intimidated and gave up their attempts to commit suicide.
Guo Hao was well aware of the truth that it is better to loosen up than to block. After he captured the city occupied by the Yellow Turbans, he distributed grain on a large scale to provide disaster relief.
Thanks to his efforts of using both the stick and the carrot, the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou almost disappeared. After all, who wants to die when they can live?
It has to be said that the various noble families in the war civilization are really rich. Guo Hao used the granaries of less than ten small cities to store grain and completely pacified the refugees in Youzhou.
Looking at the small families in the county town who have enough food to pacify the refugees in an entire state, and then looking at the refugees who have to rise up in rebellion in order to survive.
"The rich have fields as far as the eye can see, while the poor have no place to stand." Guo Hao could only sigh like this.
The living noble families were not something that a small county magistrate like him could encounter, so he could only use the inheritance of the dead noble families to show his kindness. After all, he was just a weak player, and it was not yet time for him to write a legend on the stage.
But looking at the gap between the rich and the poor that seemed like a joke, Guo Hao secretly swore in his heart that if he had the ability, he would change everything, even if it was just a "game."
Guo Hao, who had different materials, knew very well that this war civilization could not be just a simple game, and there must be something hidden behind it.
However, his current level is too low and he has no interest in delving into it.
In contrast, he prefers to visit player forums.
Although player forums cannot spread information in real time , game forums are indeed the largest intelligence network in the game.
All the first players who enter the game will inadvertently provide a lot of useful information to all players as long as they are willing to share on the forum.
It not only contains news from various states, but also gossip about various players and NPCs.
Players are as omnipresent as rats. A photo, a video, or even a simple complaint from them can allow places thousands of miles away to obtain first-hand information.
When Guo Hao cleaned up Youzhou completely, he received news that Dong Zhuo and Lu Zhi were trapped in Jizhou.
If it were in the past, Guo Hao would be powerless to help even if he wanted to, but with Qu Yi and Xu Rong by his side, he had a lot of room to maneuver.
Guo Hao didn't even need to figure it out on his own, as the players following Dong Zhuo and Lu Zhi had already come up with a plan for him.
The trapped players were well aware of their disadvantages. Their burst was not enough, and even Hua Xiong's cavalry charge was unable to break through the Yellow Turban Army.
What’s even more outrageous is that Hua Xiong couldn’t defeat Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao. These two generals, who were originally only second- and third-rate generals, were actually promoted to first-rate level in the war civilization.
Hua Xiong's military strength of 89 points was just at the doorstep of the first-class level. It could be said that anyone who defeated Hua Xiong would become a first-class general. Hua Xiong was the number one warrior in Xiliang, which also led to the fact that no one in the entire imperial army could stop Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's rampage.
If it weren't for Lu Zhi's command, which allowed him to hold off the two enemies every time, the entire defense line would have collapsed long ago.
So the trapped players pointed out a clear way for Guo Hao and his friends to go to Yingchuan to find the three giants Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Jian.
They are now under the command of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, fighting against Bo Cai, Zhang Mancheng and others of the Yellow Turbans.
Now, as long as Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are liberated, Jizhou’s predicament will be solved.
It has to be said that even in the game, everything somehow returns to the historical starting point.
Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo were forced to go offline, and everything depended on the outcome of the Battle of Yingchuan.
Guo Hao knew it, and the Yellow Turbans naturally knew it too.
The opponents Huangfu Song faced were several times more than those in the original trajectory.
Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Zhang Yan... All the generals and officers who left their names in the Yellow Turbans are gathering in Yingchuan, not to mention most of the Yellow Turbans players.
The Yellow Turbans, which had been wreaking havoc in the Central Plains for several months, encountered their first major clash with the imperial court in Yingchuan, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion officially embarked on the journey of defying fate and changing destiny.
To be honest, in the eyes of Guo Hao and others, as long as the Yellow Turbans could repel the imperial court, they would basically have succeeded in changing their fate. After all, the initial essence of the Han Dynasty's chaos was basically in Yingchuan.
You can't expect Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei, Sima Yi and other generals who appeared in the later period to appear in the camp against the Yellow Turbans now.
In that case, what could the Yellow Turbans do to fight against the dream combination of the Five Tigers of Shu, the Five Elite Generals, and the Four Governors of Eastern Wu?
…
When Guo Hao arrived in Yingchuan, there was no safe place in the entire Yingchuan, and armies were fighting everywhere.
The entire Yingchuan, or the entire Yuzhou, has become a forbidden area. The popularity emanating from people everywhere has restricted Guo Hao's strength.

Guo Hao asked Qu Yi who was beside him. Qu Yi was suppressed even more severely. His strength was almost only one tenth of his original strength. He dropped directly from a second-rate to a third-rate force.
Just as Guo Hao was looking at the huge crowds of people and feeling deeply moved, a group of Yellow Turbans came in in a messy formation .
Guo Hao didn't feel anything. When he was about to wave his hand to let his players charge forward, Xu Rong stopped Guo Hao with an embarrassed look on his face.
"What's wrong? They're just a group of Yellow Turbans. It won't matter if we defeat them, right? " Guo Hao was puzzled, but he still stopped. After all, he believed that Xu Rong would not do anything rash.
"Sir, the troops on the opposite side are elite troops!" Xu Rong looked a little embarrassed.
"There are only about three thousand of them. We should be able to handle them, right?" Guo Hao couldn't believe that these Yellow Turbans wearing tattered equipment were elite troops.
"There are probably three second-rate generals! And a dozen mediocre generals," said Qu Yi with a grim expression.
The two of them led their men to clear out the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou and also suppressed the Yellow Turbans in Liangzhou. They scoffed at the fighting effectiveness of the Yellow Turbans and originally thought that Huangfu Song and others who had been unable to defeat the enemy for a long time were just high-ranking officials of the court in name only.
They didn't expect that they would encounter such a mortal enemy just after arriving in Yuzhou today.
Although the generals have lost their ability to mow down enemies due to the suppression of their popularity, they still have no problem beating up the players under Guo Hao.
From their perspective, even if they could win, it would be a partial victory, and they might even lose both of them.
"Retreat?" Qu Yi looked at Xu Rong and asked.
"I can't leave." Xu Rong's face turned dark. He noticed that the Yellow Turban troops began to appear behind him.
"Then fight!" Guo Hao gave the order directly, showing his fearlessness as a player to the fullest.
