Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 33 The Army (Part [-])
Originally, Gao Cheng saw that the opponent was capable, and planned to win him over to let him work for him. After all, Gao Tai and Zhang Chen did not have much experience in leading troops before, and leading two to 3000 people has exceeded the limit of their ability.

But as soon as Gao Cheng heard that the other party was from the Li family of Xiangcheng, he immediately dismissed the idea in his mind. The Li family of Xiangcheng was not well-known in his original world, but in this world, especially decades ago, the Li family of Xiangcheng The family is as famous as the Xun family in Yingchuan.

The most famous Li family in Xiangcheng at that time was Li Ying, who had served as General Du Liao.This person is well-known all over the world, but he is one of the most famous masters of soul refining in the world. He was as famous as Xun Shu, the god of the Xun family in Yingchuan at that time, and surpassed Xun Shu in both fame and strength.

"It's a pity that Li Ying, the great master of the generation, was said to have been seriously injured in the battle with the high priest of the grassland. The injury is still not healed, and he was involved in the internal struggle of the Han Dynasty. He was finally plotted against and suffered misfortune."

Gao Cheng recalled the memories in his mind. In the history of the original world, Li Ying was a famous scholar at the end of Han Dynasty, known as Li Yuanli, a model of the world, but in this world, he was the great master of soul refining.One person propped up the reputation of the Li family in Xiangcheng.

Without the protection of Li Ying, the great master of soul refining, the Li family in Xiangcheng was severely suppressed. The famous family in the world that could be called the Yingchuan Xun family at the beginning has weakened to what it is today.As a descendant of the Li family in Xiangcheng, Li Xuan has only cultivated in the Soul Cultivation Realm.

Not to mention his low cultivation base, he didn't get much use after entering the army.

However, Gao Cheng knew a truth, that is, a lean camel was bigger than a horse. No matter how the Li family in Xiangcheng declined, they were still a famous family in the county with a deep heritage. Li Xuan naturally had arrogance in his chest as a son of a famous family.

This arrogance does not mean pride and conceit, but self-confidence and arrogance.If Gao Cheng wanted to force the other party to work for him, he would most likely get a corpse.

Don't doubt the bloodiness of the Han people in this era, especially the children of aristocratic families.At this time, the eight great families in the world, including the imperial family of the Han Dynasty, all majored in the Confucian school of exercises, and the Confucian scholars respected etiquette and righteousness, and valued dignity extremely.

After dispelling the idea of ​​subduing the opponent, Gao Cheng did not dare to kill a family member like Li Xuan casually like other Yellow Turban soldiers.It was easy to kill Li Xuan, but with so many people here, news could easily spread.At that time, Gao Cheng will suddenly become the sworn enemy of the Li family in Xiangcheng.

To kill and not to kill, the only options are to imprison or release the other party.Thoughts in Gao Cheng's mind turned quickly, and he finally decided to sell the other party a favor.

After some conversation, after hearing what happened to Gao Cheng, Li Xuan also knew that the other party had no choice but to serve the Yellow Turban soldiers, and most of the resentment in his chest dissipated immediately.After all, it wasn't the damn Yellow Turban bandits who defeated him, but the children of the same family.

Especially when Gao Cheng expressed that he could let him go in private, the mixed emotions of resentment and gratitude kept Li Xuan silent for a long time.

He sighed for a long time, and said: "Zi Ming, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is shocking the whole world. In order to suppress the rebellion, the imperial court has appointed the elite children of the world's major families. When the world's noble families work together, the Yellow Turban bandits will surely perish. You'd better find a way to escape from the Yellow Turban Army as soon as possible."

Gao Cheng chatted with Li Xuan for a while, and learned about the current situation in the world from him.He knew that the other party took the initiative to talk about this, it should be to thank him for letting him go.

Back then, in order to consolidate the imperial power, the Han royal family began to suppress the wealthy families in the world. Before its decline, the Han royal family was the real number one force in the world.The emperor's footsteps are all over the world, and he is powerful in all directions.Countless famous ministers and generals under his command, and millions of cavalry trampled on mountains and rivers.No one in the world is dissatisfied.

All the aristocratic families combined can barely compete with the Han royal family.However, the Han royal family consumed a lot of power in the internal struggle with the aristocratic families, which eventually led to the rise of the northern grasslands and the Qiang people in the west.The enemies in these two directions restrained the elite soldiers of the big man.

Zhang Jiao, a great virtuous teacher of the Taiping Road, saw that the world of the Han was precarious, so he wanted to take advantage of the emptiness outside and inside of the elite of the Han, and quickly raise troops to break Luoyang.Thus establishing the Taiping Dao Kingdom.

Taiping Dao is an important force of Taoism among the three major schools in the world, representing Taoism's preparation to overthrow the rule of Confucianism. Facing this powerful enemy, the Han royal family and the world's aristocratic families quickly reconciled.When the power of the two parties merged into one, it was the peak of the strength of the Han Dynasty.

When the royal family and the aristocratic family decided to join forces, Taipingdao was already doomed to fail.After Gao Cheng knew the news, combined with the historical records of the original world, he finally had a clear understanding of the Gaowu Three Kingdoms.

When Gao Tai brought people over after cleaning the battlefield, he happened to see the back of Li Xuan who had gone a long way.His expression changed slightly, and he said: "Young master, this man is the leader of the officers and soldiers, is it wrong to let him go like this?"

Gao Cheng shook his head and said, "I can't let him go. He is a descendant of the Li family in Xiangcheng, and a direct descendant of Li Ying, General Du Liao. If he dies here, no matter if I do it or not, he will attract the Li family of Xiangcheng." anger!"

"Instead of offending the Li family in Xiangcheng, it is better to let him go directly. As for Huang Shao, we have defeated this group of officers and soldiers according to his request, and captured seven or eight hundred prisoners. If the opportunity is gone, he will not be too harsh."

Gao Tai said: "Since the young master has considered everything thoroughly, then I can rest assured!"

……

As Gao Cheng expected, when Huang Shao saw them coming back with seven or eight hundred captives, his face twitched slightly, he didn't say anything, and directly asked everyone to take a rest with their soldiers and horses.The army continued to march north.

After passing Yingyin County, another hundred miles away is Changshe.More and more officers and soldiers came across as reinforcements on the road. In addition to the officers and soldiers, there were also many yellow turban cavalry scouts coming and going.

The further north he went, the more Gao Cheng felt a strong murderous atmosphere in the air. The Yellow Turban army of millions gathered outside Changshe City, and there were 30 elite Han troops in the city.A fierce battle is imminent.

Although the two sides have not yet launched a decisive battle, small-scale battles at the level of thousands of people emerge in endlessly.It's just that Gao Cheng witnessed more than a dozen fights with his own eyes.

"Bocai surrounded Huangfusong and Zhu Jun in Changsha. He should be preparing to surround and fight for reinforcements. First, he defeated the incoming reinforcements from the Han army, and then took advantage of the high morale of the victory to break through the city of Changshe in one fell swoop! "

Gao Cheng realized something in his heart when he saw the reinforcements of the Han army being intercepted and killed.Bocai's strategy was an aboveboard conspiracy, even if Huangfusong and Zhu Jun knew about it, they couldn't solve it.

They are not as strong as others, unable to break through the siege of a million yellow turbans, then they can only watch helplessly as a support soldier is defeated.In the end, alone and helpless, he endured the fierce attack of a million troops alone.

Not long after, Gao Cheng finally formally stepped into the territory of Changsha. From a distance, he could see a huge city sitting on the plain, and on the field outside the city, there were densely packed tents that could not be seen at a glance.Numerous yellow turban cavalry entered and left the camp, and the yellow turban captain led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to move around.

The million Yellow Turbans are like a raging sea, occupying all the passages and favorable terrain outside the city.The Han army was inferior in strength and could only defend the city wall.It's like sticking to the reef on the beach and letting the waves beat.

"What a huge force!"

Whether it was Gao Cheng, Huang Shao and the others, after seeing such a large-scale force of the Yellow Turban, their minds were severely shocked. Among the million-level army, there are countless cultivators who have stepped into the path of cultivation.

Huang Shao, who has trained at the seventh level, may not even be able to rank among this army of masters.A second-level warrior like Gao Cheng is not worth mentioning.The only value is to take the troops under his command as cannon fodder.

Huang Shao had already sent someone to contact Daqu Shuai Peng Tuo in advance, and became the opponent's subordinate.Peng Tuo was the deputy general of the Million Yellow Turban Army, second only to the chief general Bo Cai.

With the protection of this handsome Daqu, everyone will not be consumed as cannon fodder in a short time.

Gao Cheng followed the army to an open space to camp, and kept looking around on the road.Since the Yellow Turban Army has a strength of up to one million, the daily consumption of food, grass and supplies by such a huge force is an astronomical figure.

The yellow turban army did not have enough logistics, and even the tents were very scarce, which could not satisfy the normal use of the yellow turban soldiers. In order to have a place to shelter from the wind, a large number of yellow turban soldiers tied up withered grass on the field to look like tents...

The more he looked at it, the more frightened Gao Cheng became.These yellow turban soldiers really don't know how to live or die. Once the fire ignites the withered grass, they can't even escape.
