Chapter 253 Counties have fallen! Troops are approaching Juyang!
For Gongsun Fu, among these three situations, the first one actually endangered the government's rule.
However, it is difficult for the Yellow Turban Moth thieves to achieve great success. In addition, the imperial court has sent a large army to Jizhou, where the Yellow Turban disaster was the worst, to suppress it.
In addition, the government and aristocratic families were allowed to recruit soldiers and have military power to jointly defeat the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban Army seems to be coming with force and momentum, but it is simply impossible to overthrow the Han Dynasty that has ruled for hundreds of years.
Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army has limited background, and they are all peasant armies. After the court stabilizes the situation, it can slowly defeat the Yellow Turban Army.
Although this kind of uprising shook the rule of the imperial court to a certain extent, it did not reach the point of overthrowing it.
As for the second situation, the people's will will also shake the rule of the government and the court, but as long as the Yellow Turban Army is eliminated, this problem will be easily solved.
The most troublesome thing is the third type.
If it is the first two cases, with Gongsun Fu's ability and strength, he will definitely be able to withstand the Yellow Turban Army's attack. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion is put down, he will still be the local emperor of Shanggu County.
But if Qin Yuan is really a big channel for the Yellow Turbans, with the troops he has and the Yellow Turbans all over the county, he will definitely be able to threaten Gongsun Fu's rule.
By that time, even if the Yellow Turban Rebellion is put down, Gongsun Fu will no longer be able to hold the position of governor, let alone an official position. His life or death will be a problem.
"Quick, send an order to Gongsun Zan immediately to withdraw his troops from outside the fortress, return to Youzhou, and suppress the Yellow Turbans!"
In the city lord's palace in Shanggu County City, Gongsun Fu shouted loudly.
In front of him, there were more than a dozen people standing.
Some of them were wearing official uniforms of different colors, while others were wearing strange clothes, most of them wearing leather armor or armor. It was obvious that these people were strangers, that is, players.
Players are all over the Han District. Wherever there are people, there are players.
Although players belong to outsiders, they are a special group.
But because they came to this world not long ago, they have little foundation and foundation.
Even some guild forces will choose to join or rely on a certain aboriginal force to grow.
People like Gongsun Fu, as the governor of a county, controlled nine counties, and the population in the territory even exceeded 100 million people.
Even though it is unknown in history, to players, this is the existence of a big boss.
Even if players work hard for decades, they may not be able to reach Gongsun Fu's current position.
Naturally, there are not a few players who seek refuge with Gongsun Fu.
The news that Qin Yuan was a major channel for the Yellow Turbans was revealed to Gongsun Fu by them.
However, just like the suspicions of the players at the beginning, Gongsun Fu didn't believe it at first.
But then I thought about it, Qin Yuan was a rebellious person, and he was a rebel, so maybe he really had something to do with the Yellow Turban Army.
Even if there is no connection between them.
With Qin Yuan's character and Gongsun Fu's previous suppression of Pingyun County.
The possibility of Qin Yuan taking the opportunity to retaliate is also very high.
"Master Taishou, at this time all counties are under attack by the Yellow Turban Army!"
"Even if we contact General Gongsun Zan, it will be too late by the time he withdraws from outside the wall!"
One official expressed concern.
Shanggu County originally had a very large standing army, no less than three million!
Even because Qin Yuan marched outside the Great Wall, Gongsun Fu felt a huge threat and secretly expanded his army to five million in just six months!
But later, after Qin Yuan withdrew his troops, he continued to develop in a low-key manner in Pingyun County, and Gongsun Fu continued to raise so many troops, which cost a lot of money.
Gongsun Zan, who was at the key point outside the Great Wall, asked him to borrow troops, but Gongsun Fu was more than happy and directly borrowed two million troops!
But the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out too suddenly, and the only three million troops under his command were unable to suppress the Yellow Turban Army in the county.
Not to mention, we have to face the covetousness of Qin Yuan, a fierce tiger!
Now in this situation, it is impossible for Qin Yuan to be able to defeat Qin Yuan just relying on Gongsun Fu and the military strength of the counties.
Only by letting Gongsun Zan lead his army to help, or getting assistance from the imperial court, can we survive this crisis.
"In this situation, should we report to the imperial court, deprive Qin Yuan of his official position, and ask the imperial court to send troops for reinforcements!"
an official asked.
"How can the imperial court have any remaining troops now?"
"Jizhou is the base camp of the Yellow Turban bandits, and all the troops mobilized went to Jizhou!"
"As for other states and counties, they can only rely on their own strength to fight against the Yellow Turban Army!"
Gongsun Fu sneered.
It's not like he hadn't thought about asking for help from the imperial court, he had even sent a request for help to the imperial court a long time ago.
The reply he got was chilling to his heart.
The imperial court only gave him the authority to recruit and deploy troops freely, but other than that, he did not even provide a grain of food.
Nowadays, the Yellow Turbans are raging in every state, and the imperial court is also extremely busy.
Many county towns and even state towns were captured by the Yellow Turban Army, so there was no way left to manage remote border areas like Shanggu County.
Therefore, if they can defeat the Yellow Turban Army's attack, it will be a great achievement.
If it doesn't happen again, we must defend the city and don't let the county town fall.
If you can't keep it, it will be cool.
As for reinforcements, it is basically impossible. Unless the Yellow Turban Army is suppressed and eliminated on a large scale, then the imperial court will have enough power to help them!
Anyway, there are too many lost cities.
An additional Shanggu County is dispensable for the imperial court.
And the most important battlefield is still in Jizhou!
The three heroes of the late Han Dynasty, who had received the imperial edict to crusade, had led tens of millions of troops into Jizhou to fight against the Yellow Turban Army!
"Report that Guangning County, Ning County, and Zhuolu County are in danger, and ask the prefect for reinforcements!"
"Report, Pingyun County Magistrate Qin Yuan has sent his troops south to join the Yellow Turban Army and endanger all counties!"
"Report, the county seat of Yanxing County was captured by the Yellow Turban Army, and the county magistrate of Yanxing County was hanged on top of the city by the rebels!"
"."
And not long after, bad news came one after another.
When Gongsun Fu heard the news, his hands and feet suddenly felt cold.
The most terrifying fact really happened.
The rumors about Qin Yuan's identity and sending troops were quickly confirmed.
Qin Yuan's army all left Pingyun County and divided into three groups to go south!
And with the cooperation of the Yellow Turban Army, a large number of cities fell!
"They are trying to surround us!"
Gongsun Fu looked at the map on the table.
If the four counties including Guangning and Yanxing fall one after another, Juyang County will almost be surrounded.
This will cut off the transportation channels for troops and materials in Juyang County.
Boom!
At this time, loud noises came from outside the city lord's palace.
After a while, another official came in to report.
Outside the four walls of the county, all were attacked by the Yellow Turban Army.
"Every city is under attack!"
"However, the number of Yellow Turban thieves is not large, some even only have 10,000 or 20,000 people!"
"These yellow turban thieves are simply looking for death!"
A general said angrily, "Master Taishou, please send troops to destroy these rebels who don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"
"Ignore it!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Fu shook his head. "These tens of thousands of moqu have no impact on us!"
It was a troubled time, and he didn't want to go to war over tens of thousands of thieves.
What's more, how can these tens of thousands of soldiers be able to break through this county with high walls and thick walls!
Even if it were ten times worse, it would still be impossible.
The number of permanent troops stationed in the county has reached one million.
And unlike the general army, these county soldiers are elite regular troops, not comparable to those temporarily recruited soldiers or the Yellow Turban Army.
"Master Taishou, maybe it does have some influence!"
One player stood up and said.
This player comes from General Pavilion.
Although General Pavilion is not among the top ten guilds in the Han region, it is ranked in the top twenty.
And its main business area is Youzhou.
After a lot of hard work, he even got close to Gongsun Fu.
He is preparing to establish a relationship with Gongsun Zan through Gongsun Fu.
"If our city continues to be attacked, it will be judged to be in a state of war!"
"The teleportation array will be closed and cannot be used!"
"Secondly, the city defense construction works will also be at a standstill, especially the reinforcement and upgrade of the city defense formations, which will inevitably be affected!"
The General Pavilion player said.
Although this mythical world is extremely real, to players, most of the time it still feels like a ‘game world’.
After all, players have game data, attribute panels, and some game system rule restrictions, etc.
For example, the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion has long been expected by players, and they think it is part of the game's plot.
On the contrary, it is difficult for the aborigines to understand all this, and even less to understand that the Yellow Turban Army dared to rebel so brazenly!
As for the activated teleportation array, city protection array and other functions, in the eyes of the aborigines, they have existed for a long time, but the cost of using them was too high. They had been blocked before, and now they are just reopened.
This is also part of the rules of heaven. The indigenous people will not think about why it exists and appears, but will accept it naturally.
It's just that the speed of adaptation is not as good as players.
Even, in the utilization of certain rules, the players are much better than the natives.
"It does make sense!"
"Then General Zhao will go and kill the moth thieves outside the city!"
Gongsun Fu pondered for a while and said.
The teleportation array is very useful.
This is an important bridge for external communication!
More importantly, that is their only escape route.
Now the armies of Qin Yuan and the Yellow Turban Army are attacking from all directions, and many places have fallen, forming a faint encirclement trend.
Without the teleportation array, if they were defeated, it would be extremely difficult to evacuate.
But with the teleportation array, it is much easier to leave.
Of course, one thing that needs to be considered is to prevent the county from being in a state of war.
Otherwise, the teleportation array cannot be opened normally.
"There is also a city defense formation!"
The player reminded again, "If you only activate the city defense formation, as long as the formation is not broken, the teleportation formation can also be used normally!"
The role of the city defense formation is not only for defense and to resist enemy attacks.
You can also confirm that the city is in a non-combat state!
Players have studied this information very thoroughly.
Especially the state of war has a great impact on players.
One of them is that within the scope of war, players cannot log in or out.
This mechanism is deeply annoying to players, and almost all players have suffered losses!
"Um!"
Gongsun Fu nodded.
The city defense formation is also a very important line of defense.
Just strengthening the city defense array is really a waste of money!
This money was spent like water, even the wealthy Gongsun Fu was heartbroken!
At this time, he actually envied Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan controls a county, but his annual income is much greater than that of the other eight counties in Shanggu County.
the other side.
Qin Yuan's army has already arrived at Guangning County.
The territory and population of Guangning County are similar to Pingyun County.
However, the military strength of the two counties is very different.
Qin Yuan can easily cultivate two million elites.
This is because Qin Yuan is subject to population restrictions in the county.
If he could control a county, his troops would be at least over ten million!
It's not that Qin Yuan doesn't have money, it's that he has no one and no territory.
"Lord, according to the intelligence, the standing army in Guangning County is around 400,000!"
"A few days ago, half of the troops were deployed to various places in Guangning County to suppress the Yellow Turbans!"
"Nowadays, there are only at most 200,000 troops outside the county seat!"
Li Cunxiao said next to Qin Yuan.
A county town is generally divided into a standing regular army and a city defense army responsible for guarding the city.
The two combined can reach 500,000, which is already a lot.
Like Pingyun County, the previous army had almost the same number.
This is because they are located in Youzhou, where they often face invasions from foreign tribes from the north and wars break out, so they have more standing armies.
Like some areas in the hinterland of the Central Plains, apart from the city defense army, they don’t even have a standing army!
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, there were no fewer Yellow Turban troops in Youzhou than in other states.
But the proportion of cities that fell was far lower than that of other states.
One reason is that local governments have more regular troops in their hands.
For example, a county can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, and a county can easily mobilize two to three million troops.
Another reason is that the people in Youzhou are fierce and wars often break out. For the sudden outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it has a special prevention mechanism and can respond relatively quickly.
Like some counties in the interior of the Central Plains, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, they probably thought about whether they would be attacked and determined the safety of the county, instead of dispatching troops as soon as possible to help various places and conquer the Yellow Turban Army!
"Two hundred thousand troops!"
Qin Yuan said calmly.
If it were before, Qin Yuan might have thought it was quite a lot.
You must know that when he first started from Qingfeng Village, he even gave up the camp when faced with the attack of hundreds of thousands of government troops, and had to move the battlefield to get a chance to breathe.
But now, after the battle with Wuhuan outside the Great Wall, its strength has exploded.
Two hundred thousand troops, for him, he didn't take seriously at all.
The army he led in this surprise attack reached one hundred thousand.
And the worst ones are all Tier 4 tiger and leopard warriors!
This mere 200,000 county soldiers, even if they are protected by the city defense, are no match for them!
"Capture Guangning County directly!"
Qin Yuan ordered.
Although the troops brought this time did not have siege troops.
However, he had the peerless military general Li Cunxiao by his side.
