Chapter 257 Gongsun Fu's Hope! Changes in Shanggu County!
Chapter 257 Gongsun Fu’s hope! Changes in Shanggu County!
Gongsun Fu did not seek to defeat or repel Qin Yuan's army, nor did he need to drag it out for a year and a half.
I just hope that it can last for twenty days, or at most one month, before Gongsun Zan's army can return to Youzhou.
Of course, Gongsun Fu also hoped that the imperial court would win a decisive victory on the battlefield in Jizhou and destroy the Yellow Turban Army's regime, so that the Yellow Turban Army's problem could be solved at the root!
As for escaping, it is not that Gongsun Fu has not considered this idea.
It's just that there are Yellow Turban troops all over Youzhou. No matter where he escapes, the result will be the same.
He has no retreat, and neither does the Gongsun family!
Qin Yuan is the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army, so his target cannot be just Shanggu County.
Once Shanggu County is captured, the target will inevitably be turned to the entire Youzhou.
Even if Qin Yuan is allowed to develop his strong influence and call on the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou, the entire Youzhou may fall.
Just like Shanggu County.
Qin Yuan was able to take over eight counties except Juyang so quickly. In addition to his own strong strength, he also relied on the reputation and influence of his great commander, who allowed the Yellow Turban Army from all over the country to cooperate with Qin Yuan's actions.
Being able to threaten the existence of the county in such a short period of time.
The speed was so fast that all the plans deployed by Gongsun Fu came to nothing. Otherwise, he would not have fallen into such a passive situation!
Therefore, Gongsun Fu decided to rather die than surrender and fight to the end!
As long as the entire Shanggu County does not fall, it will be able to stop Qin Yuan from eroding Youzhou, and at the same time, it can also prevent Qin Yuan from joining the Yellow Turban Army from other states and counties!
"Qin Yuan's army is about to attack!"
"The more critical the moment, the more vigilant it is to be vigilant!"
"In addition to reinforcing the city's defenses, we must also be careful of some young people in the city secretly causing trouble!"
Gongsun Fu ordered.
During these days, although Gongsun Fu prayed to heaven and prayed to Buddha, he did not receive any supporting troops.
However, he used various channels to purchase a large amount of rare materials, which greatly strengthened the city's defense and further strengthened the city defense formation.
Completely build Shanggu County City into an indestructible fortress!
In addition to foreign enemies, what worried Gongsun Fu was internal troubles.
Once the war goes unfavorably, many forces in the city will definitely have thoughts of betrayal.
Gongsun Fu insisted on going his own way, shutting down the teleportation array, forcibly recruiting soldiers, allowing all forces to send troops and resources, and fighting Qin Yuan to the end, which had offended many people.
Now that he firmly controls the military power, he can suppress these forces and prevent them from making trouble.
But that doesn’t mean no one will stab you in the back!
"Yes, sir!"
All the officials and generals said in unison.
Afterwards, Gongsun Fu asked them to leave and summoned many senior players.
Gongsun Fu didn't care about the player group at first, thinking it was just a scattered and weak force.
But when the players completely exploded, the energy generated was no less than that of the Yellow Turban Army raging everywhere.
Even the Yellow Turban Army can develop so rapidly, and behind this, the player community plays an important role.
At the same time, players from the imperial camp are also an important force against the Yellow Turban camp.
Unfortunately, by the time Gongsun Fu realized this, it was already too late.
Of course, even at this moment, Gongsun Fu did not give up hope.
If we can involve a large number of players to deal with Qin Yuan together, there may be hope of defeating Qin Yuan!
At least, the success rate of defending the county will increase by a few points.
"Master Taishou, most of the alien groups in Youzhou have rushed to Zhuojun!"
"Now the Yellow Turban Army in Zhuo County is always at a disadvantage!"
"I'm afraid it won't take a few days for Zhuojun to be fully recovered and the Yellow Turban forces destroyed!"
The president of General Pavilion smiled bitterly. "But, if we want them to support Shanggu County, there is really nothing we can do."
He was very clear about Gongsun Fu's thoughts.
After all, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, Gongsun Fu is not willing to let it go.
However, Gongsun Fu's decision actually harmed the players in the county.
Although players who choose the court camp will regard the Yellow Turban Army as their enemy.
But they just want to deal with the Yellow Turban Army with average strength and earn a wave of military exploits.
As for being an enemy of Qin Yuan head-on, wouldn't that be courting death?
How strong Qin Yuan's army is, these player guilds know best!
It's not that all player guilds have fought against Qin Yuan's army and suffered losses.
Instead, Qin Yuan has opened up the exchange of quotas for troop transfers for several months.
The large and small guild forces in Youzhou have all exchanged some types of troops.
Among them, the advanced arms transferred from Qin Yuan are generally stronger than the advanced arms elsewhere.
And after changing jobs, he will be equipped with a complete set of equipment.
In terms of overall strength, it is two or three times that of other advanced arms.
Not to mention, there are some lucky guild forces who have obtained transfer quotas for elite troops.
That strength is even stronger than many famous military units during the Three Kingdoms period.
In particular, someone on the forum published a comparative analysis of the strength of Qin Yuan's elite Black Wolf Emperor Cavalry and Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi Cong.
In the end, it was concluded that the Black Wolf Emperor Cavalry was victorious.
Although the units obtained by the players are not Black Wolf Emperor Cavalry, they are both elite units and their strength is not much different!
The strength of every player who obtains an elite unit suddenly increases dramatically.
If there are 10,000 elite troops, they can basically go sideways!
There is a saying among the player community: Don’t be an enemy of Qin Yuan, no matter who you are an enemy of!
In addition, in addition to possessing a powerful fighting army, Qin Yuan also relied on Pingyun County to earn a large amount of money.
And the Yellow Turban Rebellion brought about a take-all approach. Although the method was shameful, it also proved that Qin Yuan had strong logistical supplies.
Qin Yuan is completely different from the Yellow Turban Army who can only survive by looting and most of their troops are militiamen.
Even the most elite troops sent by the Han Dynasty may not be Qin Yuan's opponents, let alone the players.
Guilds like General Pavilion know more about Qin Yuan than ordinary players, so their fear becomes deeper.
They originally wanted to find an opportunity to leave the county and avoid a direct confrontation with Qin Yuan.
But who would have expected that Gongsun Fu would not dare to act martially and closed the teleportation array, ruining their way out.
It would be absolutely false to say that there is no resentment.
"What's so magical about Zhuojun and why are so many strangers rushing here?"
Gongsun Fu said in confusion.
Through some intelligence channels, Gongsun Fu learned that the number of player groups in Zhuo County was at least several million.
The Yellow Turban Army just started to riot and were quickly suppressed.
Among the ten counties in Youzhou, Zhuo County is probably in the best situation.
The Yellow Turbans are most rampant in Guangyang County and Shanggu County.
If there is no special reason, one of the two counties will definitely fall first and become a county-level area in Youzhou that is completely controlled by the Yellow Turban Army.
"Perhaps the people of Zhuo County are martial in nature and have many heroes!"
The president of General Pavilion said a little absentmindedly.
"If you can help the county survive this crisis, I will report to the imperial court and confer you the title of General Ping Kou, ranking sixth rank, commanding 100,000 elite troops!"
Gongsun Fu stared at the president of General Pavilion and said.
He is well aware of the nature of these players. If they don't see the rabbit but don't let the eagle fly, it is basically impossible to get them to contribute in the face of insufficient benefits.
However, once they are promised huge profits, they will become very crazy, regardless of life and death!
"What the Lord Prefect said is true!"
The president of General Pavilion's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Of course, I swear!"
Gongsun Fu said solemnly.
The theory of loyalty during the Eastern Han Dynasty was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they attached great importance to promises!
Once you make a vow, you will never back down even if you go through fire and water.
The most important promise is to swear to Luo Shui, and almost no one dares to break it.
As long as you swear, it means that what you say is true and true.
It was not until Sima Yi later broke the oath of Luo Shui that the oath was no longer believed by others!
"There is a hero in Zhuo County named Liu Bei, and he also has two powerful sworn brothers!"
"He has strong influence and appeal, no less than Qin Yuan's prestige in the Yellow Turban Army. At least 80% of the alien group has joined his command!"
"This is the largest and most powerful force among all the rebel armies!"
"If they help, there is a high chance that the crisis in Shanggu County can be solved!"
The vice president of the General Pavilion pondered for a while and then said, "As far as I know, Liu Bei and General Gongsun Zan have been classmates and friends for many years. The governor may be able to get through this relationship and encourage the other party to send troops to help!"
"There is still this relationship!"
"Okay, okay!"
"I immediately contacted Bogui and asked him to pass a letter to this Liu Bei!"
Gongsun Fu was overjoyed when he heard this.
Gongsun Zan's main army was pinned outside the fortress and was unable to return for the time being.
But Zhuojun is different.
First of all, they are all in Youzhou and belong to an alliance.
Secondly, the Yellow Turbans in Zhuo County are about to be suppressed and destroyed, so they will inevitably turn their attention to other places. If they have connections like Gongsun Zan, it will not be difficult for them to help.
Finally, you can use the teleportation array between counties and cities to achieve rapid reinforcements!
"Master Taishou, if you only rely on one level of relationship, it may not be enough!"
The president of General Pavilion reminded.
"Of course, I am not a stingy person!"
Gongsun Fu narrowed his eyes slightly.
As long as it can relieve Shanggu County's urgent needs, he is willing to pay no matter how high the price is!
Outside the nearest city to Shanggu County City.
A group of surging cavalry advanced towards the open city gate.
This is exactly the 100,000 troops led by Qin Yuan.
Several large armies entered Juyang County together. Due to Gongsun Fu's practice of abandoning various cities and retreating to the county seat, they entered Juyang and attacked the city and looted the territory along the way, capturing it without spending a single soldier or horse.
Today, there is only the last county town left in the entire Shanggu County, and it is also the most important city.
"My lord, General Bai and General Han have been waiting in the city for a long time!"
As soon as Qin Yuan entered the city, Luo Cheng, wearing silver armor and a white spear, greeted him with a smile.
"good!"
Qin Yuan nodded slightly.
Although there were several people in Pingyun County, the troops were divided, but it only took more than ten days.
But the results were extremely astonishing.
Although Qin Yuan's route was the latest to arrive, it was also the easiest.
As for Han Xin and Zhao Shuhuai, they need to recruit various Yellow Turban armies.
The size and quality of the Yellow Turban Army varies greatly, ranging from a small Yellow Turban Army with only a few dozen people to a large one with tens of thousands of people.
Some are devout followers of Taiping Taoism, working wholeheartedly for Zhang Jiao's great cause.
Some are the Yellow Turban Army formed by refugees, who revolt just for a bite of food. As for the Yellow Turban Army, they can't even shout all the slogans.
What's worse, there are some bandits and bandits, or some rebels disguised as powerful landlords, fishing in troubled waters.
Therefore, it is by no means a simple matter to integrate such a mixed group of Yellow Turban forces with three religions and nine streams.
Thanks to Han Xin's outstanding ability, he was able to gather more than two million Yellow Turbans in just a few days.
This level of difficulty is no less difficult than attacking a city!
Although it is not as good as the main force under Qin Yuan's command now, it can at least have a chance to compete with the regular army of the government!
The army led by Bai Qi and Luo Cheng fought all the way from south to north, and from east to west.
Either he is fighting or he is on the way to fight.
Almost 80% of the territory occupied was captured by Bai Qi's army!
"Only the last county town is left, and all other cities are under our control!"
"The new Yellow Turban Army is 2.3 million, and the government and local army are 2.1 million!"
"There are more than 700 officials who have taken refuge with us, more than 300 powerful families, as well as various chambers of commerce, and about a thousand player guilds!"
"Fifty million taels of gold, 200 million taels of silver, 200 million units of grain, equipment and other strategic materials were seized!"
"."
As soon as Qin Yuan arrived, Han Xin and Bai Qi immediately reported to Qin Yuan their achievements in the past few days.
Although they have reported some scattered battle reports before.
But when I summed it all up, I was still shocked.
This is fighting to support war!
1.6 million troops were dispatched from Pingyun County and fought for more than ten days. There were countless battles, large and small, but the number of troops increased, reaching 6 million!
In addition, he captured eight counties, hundreds of cities, and a large amount of gold and silver property!
Moreover, after integrating the Yellow Turban Army, the government, and local forces, Liu Bowen sent a large number of civilian officials to take over and finish the work, completely controlling these territories.
After some governance, everything became more orderly, making the public security more stable and more suitable for people's survival. Some refugees who could not guarantee food and housing have received relief and comfort.
It was as if in troubled times, a paradise unaffected by the war had been opened!
If we can talk about the prosperous scene that Zhang Jiao preached to the world, it is nothing better than this!
Of course, all prerequisites require a large amount of money and food as support. Otherwise, tens of millions of people in Shanggu County alone will be affected by disasters and wars. This expenditure is comparable to the military expenditure of millions of people!
Fortunately, Qin Yuan harvested the players in Pingyun County and the power of the gentry in Shanggu County, and obtained countless money.
Otherwise, no matter how talented Liu Bowen is, he will not be able to do all this in a short period of time.
"Well, I know!"
"Now there is only one last county left!"
"By taking this county seat, I can easily march from Shanggu County to the entire Han Dynasty!"
Qin Yuan looked at everyone with firm eyes.
It would be a pity if talents like Han Xin and Bai Qi were only on a small stage like Shanggu County.
Only in this chaotic world of the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty, with wars and wars raging, and so many heroes appearing together, can their abilities be fully demonstrated!
