Chapter 62: Qiang Tribe’s Unusual Movements
"Let's go, let's go. I really don't understand why the Southern Xiongnu are so weak and yet so fond of jumping!" Guo Hao spat, then called on his troops to return to the city.
Ever since his combat effectiveness increased, Guo Hao no longer took these minor skirmishes seriously. If it weren't for the Qiang people's rebellion, he would have found a way to go north to destroy the Huns.
As for now, his strength is not enough, and the accumulation of soldiers under him is not enough.
With the heavy support at that time, the 3,000 commandos under his command reached the peak of the Royal Guards and were almost as strong as a miracle. Unfortunately, the Yellow Turban Warriors were not human and cut them off abruptly. If it were any other Royal Guards legion, the battle of the Sun Legion would have been a miracle.
It is the Yellow Turban Warriors, whose strength has reached the peak. They can be said to be the weakest among the world's royal guards, but they are the most restraining troops of the Sun Legion.
Among the 5,000 cavalrymen under his command now, not many can remain elite under normal circumstances, and the only one who can remain as a royal guard under normal circumstances is a small team of personal guards around him.
Guo Hao is now waiting to go to Luoyang to receive his title, and then see if he can rescue the more than one thousand commandos who are still alive. That would be a truly powerful army.
"City Lord, you are back. Yesterday, three great talents came to surrender. They are now staying in the other courtyard. Do you want to summon them immediately?"
"Invite them to the City Lord's Mansion and host a banquet for them." Guo Hao looked at the smug Mr. Guang and didn't know where to start complaining for a moment.
Freed from the heavy responsibility of controlling the entire Beiliang City, Mr. Guang has completely transformed himself into an old man who specializes in delivering talents.
Guo Hao learned about every talented person who came to join him through Master Guang.
After a while, the three great talents mentioned by Master Guang appeared in front of Guo Hao.
"Yao Chong, Yao Yuanzhi, greets the lord."
"Di Qing Di Hanchen, I greet you, my lord."
"My name is Xiao Meiniang, I am honored to meet you, sir."
Yao Chong, a wise minister of the Tang Dynasty, was known as one of the "Four Great Ministers of the Tang Dynasty" along with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Song Jin. He was extremely capable.
Moreover, he is the internal affairs talent that Beiliang City needs most now. In his prime period, he was known as the "Prime Minister who saves the time". Beiliang City alone is not enough to govern.
[Name: Yao Chong, Military Strength 35, Intelligence 89, Command 25, Politics 97, Charisma 57]
[Talent: Rectify the Administration]
[Features: Reform (Blue), Virtuous (Blue)]
Guo Hao glanced at Yao Chong's attributes. His politics score was 97, top-notch data. Anything higher would be top-notch.
Such talents can be counted on one’s fingers in the entire history of China.
Yao Chong also had a talent, which was "rectifying the administration of officials."
It is to improve the qualifications of officials within the scope of governance, which is a bit powerless for Beiliang City, an educational desert.
And there are limitations. It can only improve the qualifications of literati, and has nothing to do with military generals.
Di Qing, also known as General Miannie, was a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty. If he had not lived in the Northern Song Dynasty, his reputation might have been even more famous.
[Name: Di Qing, Military Strength 91, Intelligence 88, Command 95, Politics 62, Charisma 50]
【Talent: Like a shadow】
[Features: Calm (blue), studious (blue)]
"Like a shadow: Reduce your presence and hide your figure. It works best at night."
He is a good ambusher and sneak attacker, but he and Guo Hao are not compatible. One is a night elf and the other is a sun god, so there is no way they can cooperate with each other.
Well, Di Qing is also an example of a reckless man who successfully changed his career. He was originally a reckless man, but after being persuaded by Fan Zhongyan to study, he successfully changed his career to a commander. He was proficient in the military strategies of generals since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and was considered half a scholar.
But a reckless man is still a reckless man after all. Although his IQ has increased a lot because of his extensive reading of history books, unfortunately his EQ is too low. He was also tattooed in the Northern Song Dynasty, so he can't get along with the literati of the Northern Song Dynasty at all.
In the end, he was dismissed from his position for political reasons and died of depression.
Compared with the previous ones, Xiao Meiniang seems very ordinary, a character in The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Apart from a charm of 93, she has no other advantages. She is simply a vase.
Although she doesn't have any advantages, her intelligence and politics have reached 79, which makes her barely a third-rate civil official. She can be put into the Government Affairs Office to balance the yin and yang. A city still needs some female officials. Besides, it's great to look at beautiful women while not handling official business.
However, Guo Hao was a little confused. Which attribute did Jiang Wei belong to? Yao Chong corresponds to politics, Pang De corresponds to military force, Xiao Meiniang corresponds to charm, and Di Qing corresponds to command.
Is Jiang Wei considered a counselor? That is indeed outrageous. He is an all-round counselor, worthy of being the prime minister's disciple, and a descendant of the same lineage.
Guo Haoman's team is basically complete, with Jia Xu and Yao Chong in literature, Jiang Wei, Pang De and Di Qing in military, which means it is a team of talented people.
The entire Beiliang City gathered together 20,000 regular soldiers. After all, those who could survive famine and war in those days were basically young and strong, and those with weaker health really could not survive the disaster.
So, with a population of about 100,000 people in the entire Beiliang City, it was able to gather five troops.
Eight thousand people were used as garrison soldiers to defend the city, and then including Guo Hao, there were four generals, each with a troop of three thousand people.
Man proposes, God disposes. Just when Beiliang City was actively preparing for war.
Guo Hao received news from Pang De again that something had happened to the Qiang coalition forces and he could no longer delay any longer.
The more Guo Hao read on, the more he frowned. The Qiang tribe strategy that seemed to be going well before actually had a flaw.
After reading this, Guo Hao sighed and was speechless about the situation in Liang Province. Han Sui and Ma Teng actually joined the Qiang coalition.
Pang De, who was originally sure to be the commander-in-chief of the Qiang coalition army, was directly defeated. The one who took action was the last card of the Xiliang military, Xiliang Jin Ma Chao.
Ma Chao is at least at the top of the class. This is the judgment based on the intelligence sent back by Pang De.
There is currently no general in Beiliang City who can fight against Ma Chao. Pang De has lost, and Jiang Wei is also unlikely to be defeated. If they fight, at least two generals can be tied down, and the plans previously made by Guo Hao and others will be directly disrupted.
The original plan became a piece of waste paper. If no one restrained Ma Chao, it would be just like when he fought the Huns before, with him using his invincible skills to mow down the enemies. Even if they won in the end, they would be exhausted and suffer huge losses.
"Wenhe, what should we do?" Guo Hao looked at Jia Xu, who claimed to be loyal to him but he could not see his attribute panel.
"My lord, there must be some hidden story here." Jia Xu also said with a frown.
He was not familiar with Han Sui, but he knew Ma Teng, a guy who claimed to be a nobleman for generations, and always talked about Ma Yuan, the ancestor of the Ma family, who was General Fu Bo.
How could such a person join the Qiang people in causing chaos? Doesn't he want to stay in the Han Dynasty anymore?
Guo Hao was also puzzled. In history, Ma Teng responded to the court's call and participated in suppressing the Qiang rebellion. Why did he run to the Qiang camp now?
