Chapter 201 The Eve of the Decisive Battle

When Su Fan and the others returned to their territory again, it was already the end of November in the first year of Zhongping.The autumn harvest is over, and this time the harvest is huge, almost enough to feed millions of people.

And next year, the grain production will be even greater.

He can also accept more refugees with confidence.

As the Yellow Turbans continued to wreak havoc, especially in places damaged by the Yellow Turbans, it was impossible to farm at all, and naturally there was no food production in the fields. ,

The population is still so large, and food cannot be produced. It is conceivable what kind of life the many common people will have.

After all, they are not like later generations, who have surplus food. For these poor people at the bottom, it is already very good for them to barely make enough food and clothing for a year.

Surplus food does not exist.

Back at the barracks, Su Fan rectified the army horses, and even sent out thousands of army horses to mop up the yellow turbans around them when nothing happened.

Now all over the Han Dynasty, except for the cities that do not fall into the range of the Yellow Turbans, most of the other places have the Yellow Turbans raging.

These yellow scarves were divided into teams, tens of thousands of people, and swept around the city.

They couldn't take down the big city, but the surrounding villages became the targets of their plunder.

Here in Donghai County, there are quite a few yellow scarves. There are not large-scale ones, but there are many small-scale ones of tens of thousands.

Many of them were even pretended to be bandits and bandits, and some tyrants pretended to be robbing houses behind their backs.

The yellow turbans were rampant, and all kinds of monsters and monsters came out.

Su Fan sent troops to mop up the surrounding yellow turbans, first to increase the experience of the army against the enemy, and secondly to reduce the surrounding yellow turbans.

After all, Donghai County in the future is destined to become his territory, which can be regarded as an early development.

The Yellow Turban Army only knows about destruction. If these people destroy too much, it will cost him a lot to recover when he becomes the prefect of Donghai County in the future.

January, February, March.
Within half a year, Su Fan's [-] troops went out one after another in search of small groups of Yellow Turbans to fight.

In the past six months, they have suppressed a total of nearly one million yellow turbans, killed those leaders, and obtained 80 million manpower for Su Fan.

Although only half of them are young and strong, it is still very good.

And in the past six months, he has added millions of people again, it's not that Su Fan doesn't want to add.

But if it continues to increase, he probably won't be able to hide it here.

He is not the prefect of Donghai County yet, so he naturally doesn't want to be exposed.

But now it is too fast.

"My lord, when are you going to leave?"

The original military camp has now built a small city for his family of [-] troops to live in.

Su Fan lived in the center of the small town.

And within half a year, Xi Zhicai finally recognized him as the master, because he is now the county captain of Gaoyou.

Even at Xiapi, someone has already asked the governor to promote him to be the county captain of Xuzhou. After all, Su Fan sent troops to sweep up the surrounding yellow scarves, so that many nobles around him would not be harassed by the yellow scarves.

For many gentry, it is a good thing.

In fact, many gentry also sent private soldiers to fight. After all, the imperial court had agreed to form local troops to suppress the Yellow Turbans.

It's a pity that most of the gentry have limited strength. If the defense is good, they really can't stop them from encountering hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in the wild.

Su Fan's army was elite, so there were no Yellow Turbans around Donghai County and Xiapi.

This is a real credit, and he is already a county lieutenant. Someone who has a good relationship with the Gao family proposed it in Xiapi. As for whether it can be successful, it depends on his public relations.

So Su Fan, who had an official position, naturally became Xi Zhicai's protagonist.

"Soon, General Huangfu Zhonglang, who has been mopping up the Yellow Turban Army in Sili, has now come to Yingchuan County."

"I'm afraid the decisive battle over Yingchuan is coming soon, and we can send troops at that time."

Su Fan didn't have much scruples at this time, because Zhang Jiao, who he was most afraid of, had already been trapped in Guangzong's place.

Moreover, according to the news from Jizhou, Zhang Jiao's condition is not good. Since the battle with the imperial court's Zhen Guo Wu Sheng, both of them have suffered losses.

It is said that the martial sage of Zhen Guo broke out at the price of longevity, and Zhang Jiao was severely injured. When he returned to Jizhou, Zhang Jiao was attacked by masters one after another.

The trauma got worse and worse, Lu Zhi's attack for many days, the other party didn't show up.

Of the three generals, Lu Zhi's power is the strongest, and Lu Zhi's own cultivation is also the strongest, at least at the seventh level of Soul Refining and above. In addition, he is a Confucian military strategist. In combat, he was even higher than Huang Fusong, the general's disciple.

Because facing the main force of the Yellow Turbans, he also has the most forbidden troops under his command.

He has a million forbidden troops under his command and 200 million local government troops, so he has been suppressing the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou.

If it weren't for Zhang Jiao's terrifying strength, Lu Zhi's ability might have suppressed the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou long ago.

News came from Jizhou that Lu Zhi was about to break through Guangzong City several times, but Zhang Jiao didn't show up. Su Fan knew something must have happened to Zhang Jiao. Even if he didn't die, he was not far from death.

At this time, the other party couldn't care about him anymore.

"Battle of Yingchuan"

When Xi Zhicai heard this, his face also showed excitement. This battle meant the direction of the Southern Yellow Turban.

If the Yellow Turban wins, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other places will instantly fall into corruption, and it will be difficult for the court to gather strength to suppress the rebellion.

After all, at that time, the land of Sili was the most important, and it is estimated that the court would also switch from offense to defense.

But the imperial court won, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other places, the Yellow Turban was released.

And this multi-million battle, the scene is so grand, no one wants to miss it.

"When the time comes, Zhicai, you will set off with the army and be the army's military advisor."

Su Fan naturally saw Xi Zhicai's expression. Even he was looking forward to this battle. It is said that the battle in Jizhou was also very fierce.

It's a pity that Jizhou is too far away from here, and he didn't have time to pass by.

But Yingchuan is definitely not bad here, especially Bocai's ability, coupled with the Yellow Turban Army from Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and even the land of Sili, they all faintly rushed towards Yingchuan.

It seems that everyone knows that the final decisive battle will be held here in Yingchuan, and the Yellow Turban Army has also begun to swarm in. I am afraid that the number of people will reach 3000 million by then.

Of course, among the 3000 million people, perhaps less than one-third of them are truly capable of fighting, and even one-tenth of the elite is not bad.

After all, compared with the imperial court, most of the Yellow Turban Army were peasants, and it would be great if they had ordinary swords for their weapons. I am afraid that most of them were robbed from local areas or Wubao.

More people are not necessarily a good thing.

If there are many people, it will be more difficult to control, and there are all kinds of ghosts and snakes, and Bocai may not be able to command all the people.

On the contrary, the army is different.

"This battle is the way for you and me to advance."

Su Fan laughed.
