Chapter 356: Meeting Zhao Yun Finally
The battle in Xin'an didn't last long, but the battle was extremely tragic! Of course, the main casualty was the Yellow Turban side, while the Black Armored Xuanqi didn't suffer much.
Although the Yellow Turban Army's combat power is not strong, their fighting will is extremely crazy, and they are unrivaled like being mowed by the black armor Xuanqi, but they still rush forward one after another.
That is to say, Wu Ping's escape later led to the sudden collapse of the morale of the Yellow Turban Army, otherwise the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army would have increased.
In such a short period of time, more than 50,000 of the 200,000 Yellow Turban soldiers died in battle, about 100,000 surrendered after Wu Ping escaped, and the remaining 50,000 scattered and fled.
However, as the nearby guards arrived, the fleeing Yellow Turban Army was also arrested one after another, and the Liaodong Yellow Turban Army was completely wiped out.
The merchants gained a lot from this battle. After cleaning the battlefield, they collected more than five million gold! It is expected that so many gold coins can be harvested. You must know that the Yellow Turban Army has completely looted a medium-sized city. Today's Xin'an City is basically in ruins, and it is not surprising that there are five million gold.
But on the whole, this battle is a blood loss for merchants.
Not counting the loss of personnel in this battle (the Yellow Turban Army was basically the people of Liaodong), the damage to Xin'an City alone cannot be recovered by five million gold.
As I said before, when fighting in one's own territory, in terms of success or failure, the one who loses the most in the end is oneself.
Even the last time Xianbei invaded the south was the same.
Although Xianbei lost millions of elite troops, the Han Dynasty suffered even more heavy losses. Countless villages were reduced to ashes, and people were massacred. It's just that the size of the Han Dynasty is too large, and its ability to withstand losses is far from comparable to that of Xianbei, so it is even more disadvantageous to see Xianbei.
Of course, the accidental death of He Lian led to the fierce internal political struggle in Xianbei. It was a surprise that Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng, two real power factions of Xianbei, met each other.
I went to Xin'an City, which was almost in ruins, and visited the victims as the prefect, and then summoned Deng Yan in Xiangping to send professionals to help the victims as soon as possible.
Because of the Yellow Turban riots before, the county lieutenant of Xin'an City was killed on the spot, and the county magistrate was captured. Later, the unlucky county magistrate was used by the Yellow Turban Army to sacrifice the flag, and he was not spared in the end. Shang Ji dispatched Wang Yun as a temporary county magistrate and concurrently as a county lieutenant, and left two thousand black-armored Xuanqi temporarily handed over to him to command, and let him be responsible for unifying and coordinating the surrounding guards and encircling and suppressing the Yellow Turbans.
Then Shang Ji returned to Xiangping City with a large group of troops.
After returning to the city, Shang Ji didn't dare to be careless,
Quickly dispatched capable confidants to guard various important places in Liaodong, and beware of the recurrence of the previous "Xin'an Incident".
And Shang Ji personally sits in Xiangping, coordinates the overall situation, and races against time to train soldiers.
There are not many players in the Yellow Turban camp in Liaodong County, and most of the players who are ambitious and want to join the Yellow Turban Army to take advantage of the situation go to Jizhou, Yingchuan, Nanyang, Chen Guo, Runan, Dongjun, etc. strong area. The Liaodong players have been rectified several times by the merchants, and most of the ambitious have left Liaodong County. The rest are either production players or "adventurous" combat players who are honest and have no big ambitions.
A few less intelligent players chose to join the Yellow Turban camp, and were immediately wiped out by the overwhelmingly superior Han camp players.
Because of Zhang Jiao's order to try his best to win over other people, players from the Han camp can switch to the Yellow Turban camp at any time. Therefore, there are still some players who intend to take a look at the limelight. If Shang Ji can continue to be strong against the Yellow Turban Army, then continue to be a good baby. If Shang Ji can't hold the field, he will immediately switch to the Yellow Turban camp and take a hard bite.
In the end, who knew that the Yellow Turban Army, who looked awesome, didn't survive a round in Shang Ji's hands. The menacing 200,000 troops were wiped out in one battle.
The players immediately put away their small thoughts and acted as good citizens.
Shang Ji was also polite, and immediately followed the previous agreement, and the observers stationed among the various lord players began to take over the command of the lord's army one after another.
Although the current war is not urgent at all, Shang Ji still did this!
He needs to get the lord player used to living without an army.
Even the lord players, there are very few who strive for the goal of dominating the world in their hearts. Most of them, like Li Taining, treat the territory as a company or enterprise. Running a territory is nothing more than making money.
The lords built the army, on the one hand, to protect their own safety, and on the other hand, they had the vague fantasy of competing in the world in their hearts.
Now that Shang Ji is pressing hard on his head, it is naturally hopeless to compete in the world.
The only remaining role of the army is to guard against bandits. Shang Ji is very trustworthy. Since the player meeting was held, whenever the alien lords in Liaodong were threatened by force, they immediately sent troops to support them. The players' own troops became more and more useless.
Shang Ji took the opportunity to withdraw their army this time, and they will find that even without the army, the development in the territory will continue as usual. After a long time like this, I am afraid that few lords are willing to continue to keep the army. After all, the cost of supporting an army is not small, and few ordinary forces can afford it.
If this continues, sooner or later the territory under the player lord's rule will become a purely productive city, which will no longer be a threat to merchants, thus forming a win-win situation.
With the efforts of Shang Ji and a group of capable generals, although the war in the interior became more and more fierce, Liaodong was peaceful, without even a major banditry, and it looked like a paradise.
The only thing that worries Shang Ji is that although a super high reward was promulgated, Wu Ping still disappeared without a trace.
It took a long time to find Wu Ping, and Shang Ji didn't dare to relax for a moment. If he was forced to come to the Xin'an incident twice again, then Shang Ji would be really hurt.
"Do you want to increase the reward?"
Just when Shang Ji was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a guard's communication outside the door.
"Report! Report to the lord that a strong man brought Wu Ping, the leader of the bandit in the yellow scarf, to visit the lord!"
"Ok"
Shang Ji was taken aback for a moment, then stood up abruptly, looked at the guard with some excitement, and asked loudly: "Are you sure about your identity? It's really Wu Ping, the thief leader?"
"General Taishi has personally confirmed that he is the real thief leader!"
The guard replied respectfully.
"Okay, okay!" Shang Ji clapped his palms and laughed, and then asked, "I don't know if the person who captured the thief leader is a foreigner or an aborigine, where is he now?"
"My lord, there are two aborigines named Zhao Yun and Shao Yun. They are currently in the front hall. General Taishi is entertaining them!"
"Wait! What did you call the two strong men?" Shang Ji asked in disbelief.
"My lord, the two strong men both have the same name, Zhao and Shao respectively!"
"Do you know what the name of the strong man surnamed Zhao is, and where is his native place?" Shang Ji suddenly became excited and asked quickly.
The guard looked embarrassed and said in embarrassment: "My lord, forgive me, I don't know!"
"Forget it, you go back first, I'll go and see for myself!"
Shang Ji stopped embarrassing the guards, waved them back, and hurried to the front hall.
At the same time, I was quite nervous, not sure if this Zhao Yun was the legendary Changshan Zhao Zilong. Zhao Yun has never been to Liaodong in history, but there is still a big gap between "Beacon" and history. It is not impossible for Zhao Yun to go to Liaodong suddenly.
