Su Fan frowned when he heard Gao Hu's words. Although he knew that sooner or later the Yellow Turban Army would attack here, he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
His place is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the major county towns in Donghai County, and it is still on the coast. It should be quite secretive, at least he should be able to hide it for a while.
Of course, Su Fan also knew that Taiping Dao was not a secret to him.
Especially some time ago, the Taoist masters of Taiping Dao brought a group of Taiping Dao believers and warriors to Xuzhou, which may have leaked a lot of information about him.
"Sir, according to our scouts' observations, there are no less than 300,000 people, but most of them are old and weak."
Gao Hu didn't have anything to fear.
He knew very well the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army, they were just a bunch of rabble.
"Do you know what is going on with these Yellow Turbans?"
I suddenly came to him for no reason. I always felt that something was going on here.
"This group of people seems to be a defeated army."
Gao Hu hesitated and said.
"Defeated army?"
"Our scouts heard the news that when Guan Hai attacked Langya County, he failed. Instead, he fell into a trap and was counterattacked by Langya County officers and soldiers, losing hundreds of thousands of troops."
"So his millions of soldiers and horses also fled to other places. This group is part of Guan Hai's escaped soldiers and horses?"
Su Fan suddenly understood after hearing this.
"Guan Hai was defeated, but who is the guard of Langya County?"
Su Fan was very curious. After all, Guan Hai was also a general at the third or fourth level of Lian Gang. He had millions of Yellow Turban troops under his command. They were all beaten by the opponent and fled in all directions. The guard of Langya County was obviously not simple.
It is very possible that he is also a martial arts general or a scribe who refines souls.
Langya Zhuge, this is a surname that can never be ignored in the Three Kingdoms.
Zhuge Liang is a famous person through the ages. When it comes to loyal ministers, Zhuge Liang cannot be bypassed. Of course, Zhuge Kongming is a capable minister through the ages.
But Zhuge Liang is probably only three or four years old now, and is still a little kid.
But the Zhuge family cannot be underestimated. The three brothers of Zhuge Kongming's generation, one dragon, one tiger and one dog, served in Wei, Shu and Wu respectively.
They have all reached very high positions, and the three brothers are all very capable.
It can be seen from this that the family's education is very good, so their father's ability must not be bad.
Su Fan wondered if the Zhuge family was helping.
"It is said that a master of soul refining cast a spell and injured Guan Hai, so the Yellow Turban Army was defeated."
Gao Hu said.
"Ha!" Su Fan was not surprised when he heard this. After a scribe reached the Soul Refining Realm, his personal strength increased greatly. His soul communicated with heaven and earth, and the spells he cast were extremely powerful. A sneak attack would also be even more terrifying.
If Guan Hai is careless, he may indeed fall into the trap.
Millions of soldiers and horses, and tens of millions of Yellow Turban people would not be completely defeated just because of a single defeat. Guan Hai would definitely gather the deserters who were fleeing in all directions.
But there are definitely some people who will not escape back to Guan Hai.
Maybe, those who came to him this time were the soldiers and horses from Guan Hai, as well as the Taiping Road soldiers who had left him before.
The Taoist masters of Taiping Dao wanted Su Fan to send troops to attack Donghai County, but Su Fan certainly disagreed.
Those people can only take some of their own people out.
They took away 50,000 to 60,000 people, 70% of whom were young and strong, but these people wanted to attack Donghai County, which was really wishful thinking.
Moreover, several Taoist masters are only in the middle stage of cultivating souls, and they can create no more than twenty yellow scarf warriors.
Even though Donghai County's military equipment is in ruins, the nobles inside are powerful and the guards in their hands are not weak.
The Yellow Turban Warriors, with the blessing of special spells, will allow some soldiers to have combat power comparable to the fifth level of training for a short period of time.
However, this kind of spell is extremely difficult to practice, and it also requires the assistance of some runes. At the same time, as a carrier, it also requires a strong body.
Of course Su Fan also knows this technique, but after the Yellow Turban Warrior performs it, those who bear it will suffer serious sequelae.
It is to forcibly increase their strength by depleting their essence.
Su Fan didn't even bother to use this method. He wanted to train and he would train real warriors instead of taking shortcuts.
"Sir, do you think Guan Hai will dare to attack Langya again, or turn to other places after experiencing this lesson?"
Gao Hu was a little curious. Because he had delivered two batches of grain to Guan Hai and the others before, he had naturally seen Guan Hai's army. They were all a group of untrained farmers. Except for a few who had weapons and armor, most of them were
Weapons such as sticks and hoes.
No matter how many people there are, they can hardly threaten a defended city.
"Haha! What do you think they will do if there is no food?"
Su Fan smiled and asked, "And if they don't attack the city and strengthen their own strength, what's waiting for them is that the government will annihilate them."
"Don't worry about Guan Hai for now. He has the third and fourth levels of martial arts. There aren't many people in Xuzhou who want to threaten him."
After all, Guan Hai is also a master in refining the sword. As long as he is in the Yellow Turban Army, even a strong man with the fourth or fifth level of the sword will find it difficult to kill the former.
After all, Guan Hai had quite a few yellow scarf warriors.
"Take your people and kill the Yellow Turban Army who want to rob our place."
"Hehe! Don't worry, sir, this time they will destroy as many as they come?"
Gao Hu didn't take those people seriously at all.
Although there are less than 50,000 soldiers on their side, and only 10,000 in the formal system, after all, they have been trained for more than half a year, and with plenty of meat, the morale of these soldiers is quite high, and their combat power is definitely not comparable to that group of deserters.
of.
"I will follow them when the time comes, but I just need to disperse them and kill them all. Where can I go to recruit people? There is a shortage of manpower in the mines."
Those are human resources. Is Su Fan short of people?
It’s okay to say that there is no shortage. After all, there is already a population of one million, and the city can be built into a county-level city.
If he had no ambition, this would be enough.
But doesn’t Su Fan have ambitions?
He has no ambition for power, and even if he sits on the supreme throne, it will not be a happy thing for him.
He came to this world to cultivate and repair the Universal Mirror.
If the Universal Mirror can be repaired, then he will not let it go even if he is fighting for world hegemony.
Calculated in this way, he is still very short of manpower. Millions of people are nothing at all. In the future, he really wants to compete for world supremacy. Without tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people under his rule, it will be difficult to compete with the princes of the Central Plains.
Now he can prepare in advance. After all, compared to his family background, the Guangling Gao family is still too weak.
