Ding!
" Option 1: Defeat the Yellow Turban Army. Reward: 2,000 highland horses.”
"Option 2 completed. You have killed Cheng Yuanzhi. Reward: Divine Steed Dusk Stallion.”
" Option 3: Complete the annihilation of the Yellow Turban Army. Reward: Yang Youji's archery!”
"My lord, our army has won this battle!”
Gao Zhi was in high spirits as he began to report the results of the battle to Liu Cheng.
"In this battle, the 50,000 rebels of the Yellow Turban Army were wiped out and the enemy general Cheng Yuanzhi was beheaded. Although they didn't obtain much food and weapons, they still had some gains. I believe that it won't be long before this matter reaches the Emperor. If the Emperor knows about this, he will definitely reward the Lord.”
Liu Cheng shook his head after hearing this. He didn't care about the Emperor's reward at all.
"Tell me about the casualties on our side.”
"Yes…"
"The 500 archers didn't go down the mountain to engage in close combat, so there were no casualties. Our elite troop of one thousand valiant archers didn't die either. Fifteen of them were lightly injured, and the rest were unharmed. As for the infantry…Due to the large number of enemies, even if they were scared out of their wits, they would still suffer casualties. 1,500 infantrymen, 170 dead, 30 heavily injured, 330 lightly injured.”
" Yes." Liu Cheng nodded silently." Send some silver and rations to the families of the soldiers who died in battle. The injured soldiers must be treated." He would select enough people from the captured Yellow Turban soldiers when he defeated Deng Mao to make up for the two thousand militiamen.”
"Yes, sir!"
"There are 2,000 highland warhorses in the Martial Arts Practice Field. They are very good breeds." From today onwards, the 2,000 militia will be handed over to the chiliarch for training. They must be trained in archery and horsemanship as soon as possible. He increased the number of valiant archers to 3,000. Find a blacksmith to forge weapons and complete the equipment of the valiant archers.”
"This subordinate will obey!"
Gao Zhi cupped his hands and hesitated for a moment before saying,""My lord, although the safety of Zhuo County is now safe, it is still safe. However, there's still a very troublesome problem at the moment…"
"You mean provisions?"
Liu Cheng looked at Gao Zhi.
Gao Zhi nodded and said,"That's right, it's the problem of food." The grain that we purchased previously, together with the grain that the commoners sent over, added together, might only be enough for three thousand valiant archers to eat for about a month. " Moreover, because of that dog official County Magistrate, Zhuo County's agricultural development is very average. Every household basically doesn't have much grain in stock. Even if we have a certain amount of savings now, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to buy more grain.”
Liu Cheng let out a sigh of relief. He had also thought about this problem.
At first, Liu Cheng felt that as long as he wiped out Cheng Yuanzhi's 50,000 strong army, even if they did not have much rations left, it would be enough for his own troops.
Who knew that this Cheng Yuanzhi's side didn't have a lot of rations, they basically didn't have much left.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Gao Zhi thought about it and said,"I thought of a place. There might be enough food there."”
"Speak."
"There is a Phoenix Cry Mountain in the south of Zhuo County. There were about 300 horse bandits inside, and the chief of Phoenix Village had colluded with the county magistrate. Although they won't rob our Zhuo County, most of the merchants who come and go to Zhuo County have been robbed by Phoenix Village. Therefore, I believe that Phoenix Cry Stronghold should have enough rations.”
"Phoenix Cry Stronghold…"
Liu Cheng's fingers tapped the table lightly.
"You mean we should just rob them?”
"My lord, Phoenix Cry Stronghold is a horse bandit and they rob merchants. Although they have never robbed civilians, because of the existence of Phoenix Cry Stronghold, the commercial development of Zhuo County is extremely poor. If my lord is willing, I can lead the army to attack.”
Liu Cheng looked at Gao Zhi and nodded.
"Alright, I understand. However, they would not send troops to attack for the next two days. Let the soldiers recover first and tell the chiliarch to speed up the training. In addition, go and buy enough seeds and seedlings to mobilize the entire city's people to develop Zhuo County's agriculture. If they needed cattle, they could go to the nearby cities in the southwest to buy them. Cheng Yuanzhi's army had already collapsed, so the nearby cities should not have been destroyed. The rest of the money was used to buy military rations.”
"Yes!"
Gao Zhi accepted the order and left.
Liu Cheng opened the map. Although Cheng Yuanzhi had been dealt with, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was far from over. He had to make his next move.
Under Liu Cheng's command, the entire Zhuo County began a new round of preparations.
On the third day, just as Liu Cheng was considering whether to investigate Phoenix Cry Stronghold, someone from Phoenix Cry Stronghold came.
"Big brother! Just now, that guy asked you to go to Phoenix Cry Stronghold. He said that the bullsh * t Chief invited you over. Big brother, I think there must be a trap here. I'll bring my brothers over now and flatten that bird stockade.”
Liu Cheng waved his hand and stopped Zhang Fei.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard the system's voice in his mind.
"Ding ~! Divine level selection mission."
"Option 1: lead troops to destroy Phoenix Village. Reward: more than a month's worth of rations.”
"Option 2: Go to the banquet without any soldiers. Reward: 20 mu of land improvement agent.”
" Option 3: Slap the boss of Phoenix Cry Stronghold on the butt in public. Reward: Liang Hongyu with a Summoning Card.”
