Chapter 31 Liaodong Jiedushi
Ten days later, Qin Mo met Zhang Rang again.
Zhang Rang had changed a lot. His face was rosy, all his wrinkles had disappeared, his skin was tight, his steps were brisk, he looked like he was ten years younger, and his voice had become louder.
"My Lord, how do you feel?" Qin Mo asked with a smile.
Zhang Rang was in a very good mood and said without hesitation, "I can promise you, give me the elixir." Even if he couldn't regenerate his limbs, the thought of rejuvenation alone was enough to drive him crazy.
Qin Mo took out three bottles of Blood Explosion Pills.
"What does this mean?" Zhang Rang's eyes darkened.
Qin Mo said, "These are considered as deposits. When the angel of decree arrives in Youzhou, I will give you two more bottles. The remaining four bottles will be presented every six months for two years."
He is not stupid, so of course he has to be on guard.
Since Zhang Rang could make Qin Mo the governor of Liaodong, he could naturally also get the emperor to order his removal from office. This kind of outrageous operation was not uncommon in the court.
Especially for the rebels who surrendered.
Qin Mo set a two-year deadline, which meant that he had to use two years to establish a foundation in Liaodong. By then, even if the imperial court wanted to move against him, it would probably be unable to do so.
"make a deal!"
Zhang Rang was not afraid that Qin Mo would break his promise.
"Then I will wait for good news from the Marquis." Qin Mo said goodbye and left, hurrying back to Youzhou.
…
Three days later, Qin Mo returned to Ji County.
"Marshal, you're finally back." Deng Mao rushed over as soon as he got the news.
"What is the current situation in Youzhou?" Qin Mo asked.
"Not good. A quarter of the aliens in the Royal Guard Camp have already resigned. There are riots of varying degrees in all counties and prefectures. Some aristocratic families are taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble. Everything is in chaos."
Qin Mo nodded, not too worried.
With Zhang Rang's guarantee, Qin Mo had a magic needle that could stabilize the sea. All the monsters and demons were nothing. After thinking for a while, he said, "Do me a favor."
"Please speak, Marshal."
Seeing Qin Mo so calm, Deng Mao also calmed down and found his backbone again.
"Load the supplies looted from various places onto trucks and be ready to evacuate at any time," Qin Mo said.
"What does this mean?" Deng Mao was even more confused.
Qin Mo said: "In ten days or half a month, the imperial court will send an edict. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be appointed as the governor of Liaodong, and naturally I will take my family assets with me."
"Liao... Liaodong Jiedushi?" Deng Mao thought it was a fairy tale.
Qin Mo waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and do it. Remember, don't mention this to any third person, including the fact that I have returned to Ji County."
Although he knew that players came to invest out of considerations of profit, Qin Mo also wanted to take the opportunity to test which ones were short-sighted fence-sitters and which ones were capable people with greater ambitions.
"yes!"
Deng Mao was still a little dizzy, but his mood was very excited.
…
Time quietly came to November.
As expected by the outside world, the Battle of Quyang ended with victory for the government army.
The last of the Three Dukes of the Earth, General Zhang Bao, was killed in battle, along with a group of Yellow Turban generals including Cheng Yuanzhi, the former commander of the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou.
More than 30,000 Yellow Turbans were killed and tens of thousands were captured.
On another main battlefield, Zhu Jun led his troops to defeat Wancheng, killing Sun Xia and more than 10,000 people. The Yellow Turban Army in this area was disbanded, and the Wancheng area was completely pacified.
After the two wars, the main force of the Yellow Turbans completely bid farewell to the stage of history, and only some residual forces remained.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was temporarily quelled.
According to the course of history, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, small-scale riots continued to break out in various places in the following years, giving rise to many scattered forces, including Black Mountain, White Wave, Yellow Dragon, Thunder God, Flying Swallow, and so on.
The larger of these forces have 20,000 to 30,000 people, while the smaller ones have 6,000 to 7,000 people.
The big man was already dying.
In Yizhou, as soon as the battle was over, Huangfu Song followed through on his promise and issued an order to march into Youzhou. Upon hearing the news, Du Shihao, Wu Kui, and Chu Zhongliu volunteered to lead their troops as the vanguard.
Youzhou was shaken...
Du Shihao and other player groups are determined to deal a fatal blow to Qin Mo this time, completely suppress Qin Mo's reputation, and re-establish the reputation of the three major players.
…
It was not known whether it was a coincidence, but just when Du Shihao and his troops were about to arrive at the border of Youzhou, the angel announcing the imperial decree arrived in Ji County first.
There is only one day difference between the two.
Qin Mo, who had received the news in advance, respectfully welcomed the angel at the governor's mansion, received the imperial edict, presented two bottles of Blood Explosion Pills and a bag of gold coins, and sent him off respectfully, leaving Deng Mao in charge of the reception.
Zhang Rang was the head of the Ten Eunuchs and was honored as "Father" by Emperor Ling of Han. He was indeed a man with connections and influence. In less than a month, he managed to clear Qin Mo's name.
He also sent Qin Mo to the throne of Liaodong Jiedushi.
This would be unimaginable in any other normal period.
"Appointed as Liaodong Jiedushi, Legend level +30, and 30,000 experience points."
The Heavenly Dao was also very generous and directly rewarded him with 30 legendary points, which was worthy of the title of Jiedushi. It was the most generous harvest Qin Mo had received since he entered the Three Kingdoms subcontinent.
This was different from being appointed as Qu Shuai by Zhang Jue before.
In the final analysis, it can only be regarded as a faction position, which is not orthodox, that is, is not recognized by the court, and naturally it cannot be compared with an official position like Jiedushi.
In this way, Qin Mo's accumulated experience points reached 73,000, and he still had enough experience points to upgrade to the eighth level of "Nine Transformations Golden Body Art".
Without hesitation…
"Consume 50,000 experience points to practice the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique to the eighth level."
Qin Mo, who was well prepared, took out more than 100 kilograms of cooked black water snake meat from the dimensional space and wolfed it down, finally alleviating a little bit of hunger in his stomach.
Afterwards, you need to take in some snake meat every day, and your body will gradually improve.
Realm: Body Building Stage (Perfection)
Root bone: 9 (7+2)
Qi and blood: 300
Territory: Six counties in Liaodong, Prosperity: 25 points
[Note: Every increase of 1 point of prosperity is equivalent to 2 points of legend]
Skills: "Nine-turn Golden Body Technique" (eighth/ninth level), "Star-breaking Sword Technique" (first/ninth level)
Remaining experience points: 23,000 points
After practicing "Nine Transformations of Golden Body" to the eighth level, the biggest gain was not the improvement , but the increase of 2 points in root bones, which improved Qin Mo's qualifications.
That’s amazing.
At this point, Qin Mo's qualifications have jumped from medium to superior. Although he is still unable to compare with those geniuses with a congenital root bone strength of 10 points, he has also entered the ranks of quasi-geniuses.
The pain of being mediocre in the previous life no longer exists.
Qin Mo speculated that once he cultivated to the ninth level in the future, his bones would be further improved. By then, his qualifications would also be included in the ranks of monsters.
When he thought of this, Qin Mo became full of motivation.
In addition, after being appointed as the Jiedushi of Liaodong, [Territory] is added to the attribute panel, which is similar to the lord construction mode. Experience points can also be gained by improving the prosperity of the territory.
As for how to improve prosperity, although there is no hint, it is nothing more than factors such as population, economy, culture, and military.
After closing the panel, Qin Mo just walked out of the back hall. Deng Mao, who was supposed to be entertaining the court angels, hurried back to the mansion to report to him the news that government troops were invading the border.
"Which group of people are coming?" Qin Mo asked.
Deng Mao said, "Sir, according to the spies, the vanguard is a foreign troop that has surrendered to the imperial court, and the banners they fly include those named Du Shihao and Wu Kui."
"What a coincidence." Qin Mo smiled.
"Sir, should we send someone to clarify? We are now also government troops, so as to avoid conflicts." When saying this, Deng Mao was filled with admiration.
The Marshal really did what ordinary people could not do.
It’s absolutely amazing!
"Okay, go ahead and do it." Qin Mo didn't want to cause trouble.
