Chapter 247 The Yellow Turban Rebellion breaks out!
For the 100 million points, Qin Yuan did not convert them into combat units like before.
Because in this limited-time points mall, there are two types of things that can be redeemed.
One is to exchange tiger charms.
The second is to exchange arms.
There is a prerequisite for the exchange of hands, that is, you must first have the Tiger Talisman of that troop type, otherwise it cannot be exchanged.
When fighting outside the Great Wall, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army and because there was no need to replenish troops from Pingyun County, Qin Yuan exchanged troops directly from the War Temple.
But now, it is obvious that Wuhuan cannot continue with this task.
It is most cost-effective to exchange the remaining points into tiger charms.
In addition to his own power, he needs to possess many tiger talismans to maintain the army's job transfer and advancement.
Combat arms open to the outside world also require a large number of tiger charms.
If the previous situation were the same, ten tiger talismans could be transferred into one million combat units, which is already a very large army.
But now, for Qin Yuan, the size of his army has exceeded one million.
This will inevitably require a large number of tiger charms to ensure the high combat effectiveness of the combat arms.
After all, after the previous war in Pingyun County, you can get it by fighting Gongsun Zan or the Wuhuan tribe.
The strength of the combat arms of the God of War, even if they are of the same quality, is ahead of other combat arms.
One more thing.
That is, the arms that are transferred through Tiger Talisman all come with their own equipment.
This was enough for Qin Yuan to save a lot of military expenses.
He created a combat unit of 100,000 people, equipped with a high-level, unified army, and only needed to invest a batch of raw materials.
However, if other forces want to build an army of the same size as his, they must spend a lot of time, energy, and money to complete it.
at last.
Qin Yuan exchanged a total of sixty tiger charms.
Among them, there are fifty advanced tiger charms and ten elite tiger charms!
The price of tiger charms is very expensive.
Therefore, Qin Yuan was reluctant to exchange the Tiger Talisman when he was outside the Great Wall.
However, now that he has withdrawn his troops from outside the wall, he can use these tiger charms to build his own army.
Of course, the main reason why so many advanced elite tiger talismans are exchanged is to provide players with places to change classes.
This affected one of his shocking layout plans.
As soon as he returned to Pingyun County, Qin Yuan asked the soldiers to adjust for a period of time.
As for later, we will make military arrangements.
If there is no war, then you can consider conquering the Yanshan Mountains and opening up a buffer zone.
Moreover, there are many resources in Yanshan that can be developed, and the ferocious beasts inside are also a good place for leveling up.
Putting the army into the mountains, the growth of the soldiers is no less than experiencing war after war.
At the same time, concentrating all troops in Pingyun County can also prevent threats from the outside world.
When Qin Yuan attacked outside the Great Wall, although it was smooth sailing, he was under great pressure from the outside world.
Several major local forces in Youzhou are eyeing Pingyun County.
Especially the Gongsun family and the Zhang family.
Half a month ago, there were more than two million troops around Pingyun County.
These troops belong to Gongsun Fu, the governor of Shanggu County.
Because Qin Yuan's power developed too rapidly, he felt a huge threat.
This was also one of the reasons why Qin Yuan had to withdraw his troops from outside the Great Wall.
He didn't want to have a winning streak outside the Great Wall, only to have his lair stolen.
Qin Yuan is very aware of the ways of these aristocratic families, they act vigorously and resolutely, and they are very decisive and resolute in their actions.
Once we find the opportunity to attack Pingyun County, we will definitely beat Qin Yuan to death without giving him a chance to stand up.
In addition, there are two major power groups and factions in the imperial court, which have been staring at Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan's limelight outside the Great Wall made them even more jealous.
"Colonel Wuhuan?"
In the palace of the Lord of Pingyun County, Qin Yuan looked at the imperial edict sent by an official.
The content of the imperial edict was that for Qin Yuan's meritorious service in conquering Wuhuan, his general who conquered the captives would be promoted to Wuhuan captain.
Wuhuan Xiaowei is an official position established by the Han Dynasty.
Previously, the Wuhuan people had always regarded themselves as a subordinate force of the Han Dynasty. In order to facilitate the control of the Wuhuan people, the Han Dynasty established such a position.
In terms of his status, he is even higher than Wuhuan Great Chanyu.
However, most of the time, this position is in name only.
Now, Qin Yuan not only defeated Wuhuan's royal court, but also killed Wuhuan's great Chanyu Qiu Liju, and massacred hundreds of millions of Wuhuan people.
The Han Dynasty gave him the title of Wuhuan Colonel, which was simply an insult to the Wuhuan people.
In his opinion, the court was fanning the flames, trying to spread the flames of war to Qin Yuan, and did not want to see him escape so easily.
In the days after Qin Yuan returned to Pingyun County, the scale of the war outside the Great Wall became larger and larger, with several major forces involved, and almost the entire Wuhuan territory was filled with war.
As the invaders, the Wuhuan tribe suffered heavy losses in the war with Qin Yuan, but the entire tribe combined can reach an army of more than 20 million.
Several major forces, such as the Wuhuan Xiongnu, etc., all sent millions of troops, with no more than 10 million at most.
Even if the Gongsun family and the Zhang family are included.
The Wuhuan tribe still has the largest number of troops.
However, they were severely divided internally and were besieged by several forces, making them in a very difficult situation.
But after all, the size of Wuhuan's territory is even comparable to that of the entire Youzhou. It will still take a lot of time to completely eliminate it.
After all, compared to the Wuhuan army, the other forces are not much stronger.
Unlike Qin Yuan, who directly crushed the Wuhuan army!
"Yes, in addition to the reward, His Majesty requires you to immediately send troops to support Captain Gongsun Zan who is fighting abroad!"
The official, wearing a blue official uniform, said seriously.
"Haha, I know!"
Qin Yuan sneered.
You know that the imperial court definitely has no good intentions.
He finally escaped from the battlefield.
How could I go back again.
If he dares to appear again, he may completely anger the Wuhuan tribe and unite the Wuhuan tribe who are about to separate.
After all, all the major tribes in Wuhuan are competing for a single leader, and they are all about the same strength, and no one is convinced by the other.
However, whoever can kill Qin Yuan, or severely damage Qin Yuan's army, will definitely become Shan Yu's first choice.
"Then I don't know when Colonel Qin will send troops!"
The official asked.
"The general has his own plans to see off the guests!"
Qin Yuan threw the imperial edict on the table and said impatiently.
After the official left, Qin Yuan showed disdain.
"My lord, the imperial court has ulterior motives for doing this!"
Liu Bowen smiled.
"What the hell!"
"A few days ago, we were too popular and attracted too much attention!"
"In the future, we have to keep a low profile, recuperate, and wait for the following troubled times!"
Qin Yuan said to Liu Bowen.
"Understood, we have been purchasing supplies from outside these days!"
Liu Bowen said.
Regarding the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Qin Yuan did not hide anything from Liu Bowen and asked him to prepare in advance.
Materials are the basis of war.
Food, in particular, is the top priority.
After Qin Yuan came back, he counted the troops under his command and found that the number had reached 1.6 million.
Only Qin Yuan can do this with the power of one county.
But the military's expenses are also very huge.
Fortunately, Qin Yuan has several channels to attract money.
Moreover, a large amount of resources were plundered outside the Great Wall, and after being converted into money, the amount actually reached 40 million taels of gold!
This is almost the tax revenue of Pingyun County in previous decades.
"This player can actually bring such huge profits"
"The head tax alone exceeds ten million taels of gold!"
Qin Yuan exclaimed.
He looked at the account book in his hand and couldn't believe it.
He thought about using various gray benefits and relaxing various restrictions to attract players to make money.
But I didn't expect that it could bring so much money.
And, this is just one of several.
In addition, the money exchanged for arms exceeded three million taels of gold.
Commercial trade taxes amounted to more than two million taels of gold.
The sale of land and shops reached 500 taels of gold.
He earned 5 million taels of gold through the transfer of troops and tiger talismans and related benefits.
In addition, income from the mining of ores and other resources, the sale of equipment and weapons, etc., reached more than 10 million.
It can be said that during the period when Qin Yuan attacked outside the Great Wall, Pingyun County's various sources of income were no less than 40 million taels of gold.
This is comparable to the gains made by Qin Yuan's army outside the Great Wall.
This is a very astonishing profit.
At the same time, Qin Yuan used these means to control the player group and tied them to their interests.
In particular, Liu Bowen also controlled all equipment channels built and sold in Pingyun County.
In Pingyun County, private casting and buying and selling of equipment is legal.
However, large-scale transactions need to be notified to the government. Only after obtaining the government's permission can they be sold to outsiders, and the government will draw a considerable commission.
It can even help them find corresponding buyers, etc.
In short, with the government's relaxed policies and the joint development of players, Pingyun County's business is getting bigger and bigger, even radiating to the entire Han Dynasty.
There are a large number of businessmen who come from thousands of miles away just to do arms business.
"Transactions with outside merchants mainly focus on raw materials, strategic materials, and food!"
"Today, our grain reserves have exceeded three billion units!"
"It's enough to maintain an army worth tens of millions, a year's expense!"
Liu Bowen and Qin Yuan were discussing.
In order to purchase these three billion units of grain, more than ten million taels of grain were spent.
Nowadays, there are constant natural disasters, serious disasters in various places, and the price of food has been rising.
Coupled with Pingyun County's crazy buying, food supplies in various places continue to rise.
Liu Bowen was able to purchase so much grain through various channels.
Moreover, they will also face blockade from other forces in Youzhou!
The development of Pingyun County and its crazy money-absorbing model can be said to have aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of all forces in Youzhou.
Some nobles even joined forces with county and county governments to try to imitate Pingyun County's business model. Although they also made some money, they were still not as good as Pingyun County.
It even developed and became the middle and lower reaches trading market of Pingyun County, which made those forces very angry.
"Well, food is the top priority!"
"However, three billion units of food is still too little!"
"Except for the funds to maintain daily operations, the rest of the money is used to purchase food!"
"By the way, add trading restrictions to some items and barter them in exchange for food!"
Qin Yuan said to Liu Bowen.
Even though three billion units of food is a lot, it really cannot withstand consumption.
Nowadays, wars are often fought on a scale of tens of millions.
Especially, Qin Yuan is not fighting alone.
Behind him, there is a huge Yellow Turban Army!
Compared to them, who were extremely rich, the Yellow Turban Army was extremely poor.
After all, those who participated in the Yellow Turban Army were basically ordinary people who were forced to have no choice but to survive.
Therefore, Qin Yuan has to consider not only Pingyun County but also the supplies of his own army.
Also consider the entire Yellow Turban Army.
It's not that Qin Yuan has great kindness.
But it affects his future plans.
If the situation is difficult, the Yellow Turban Army will inevitably end in failure.
Qin Yuan must make plans for the future development of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
At that time, the three Zhang Jiao brothers died, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion basically failed.
But Qin Yuan doesn't want to be buried with Zhang Jiao, he must find a chance to survive in troubled times.
The army he currently has alone is not enough.
The best way to expand its power is to recruit and take over the forces of the original Yellow Turban Army.
This was an army capable of overthrowing the Han Dynasty.
Even if you accept a part of it, it will be enough to dominate any state and fight against the imperial court.
Otherwise, his future development will definitely be very difficult!
As for breaking away from the Yellow Turban Army and joining the imperial camp now, Qin Yuan had actually thought about this and discussed it with Liu Bowen and other famous generals.
But it's actually not realistic.
Because he does not have any foundation in the imperial court, once he joins the imperial camp, he will be squeezed out and suppressed by many parties, and his final development will not be as good as it is now.
In fact, he has been labeled as a Yellow Turban Army and will not gain the trust of the court.
At the same time, his betrayal will also arouse the anger of the Yellow Turban Army.
Maybe, the Yellow Turban Army will send a large army to attack him.
In the end, there is a high probability that the gain outweighs the loss.
As for the benefits of joining the Yellow Turban Army camp, as Qin Yuan considered, taking over a large number of Yellow Turban Army troops after the Yellow Turban Rebellion would be enough for him to dominate one side.
In addition, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will last for a long time from its outbreak to its end.
During this period, many territories were occupied by the Yellow Turban Army.
This is also a good opportunity for Qin Yuan to expand his territory.
If he joins the imperial camp, Qin Yuan will not be able to occupy these territories. Even after the Yellow Turban Rebellion is over, they will be taken back by the imperial court in various names. How could Qin Yuan do this thing of working for others in vain?
"OK!"
Liu Bowen nodded.
In fact, he has been doing work in this area and has done a very good job.
There are no real internal affairs talents under Qin Yuan.
Therefore, Liu Bowen is basically doing all the affairs in Pingyun County, no matter how big or small.
As for the previous officials in Pingyun County, their abilities were still far behind.
If Liu Bowen had not coordinated the overall situation, Pingyun County would not have developed so fast.
