Chapter 45: Taishan Ping Thief
Although anyone who is a knowledgeable person now knows that chaos in the world is imminent, when Dong Zhuo was not dead and Liu Xie, the emperor of Han Xian, was still the co-lord of the world, except for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the other princes really did not dare to take action in advance.
It is really useless to say that the name is useless. Who cares about these things after the troubled times begins!
But it is useful and it is really useful. In this situation, no one dares to say that he ignores the court and takes action privately.
However, although we cannot attack other princes, encircling and suppressing the Yellow Turban Remnants is definitely politically correct, and no one can find fault.
The Yellow Turban Remnants of Taishan County are considered to be like cowhide plaster for the nearby states.
A large number of Yellow Turban thieves were entrenched in all dangerous corners of Taishan County. These thieves rely on natural dangers in the mountains to block them, so that any troops who want to suppress the bandits could only return without success.
The barren land of Taishan County cannot support so many people, so these Yellow Turban thieves can only rely on looting the surrounding counties to barely maintain their lives.
Although Guan Hai was sought to besiege Beihai County last time, these Yellow Turban thieves had to go out to work together several times a year, and the surrounding counties were all disturbed.
As long as you dispatch a large army, you will run back, and then face the Yellow Turban thief, which is known as one million, in Taishan County, no one has the strength to eat it in one bite!
As for joining forces with other states and counties to act together?
Nowadays, no one is at ease with each other. God knows whether the so-called friendly forces will sell you.
When Li Qingyuan convened another meeting to announce that he would encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban thieves in Taishan County, all officials, including Lu Su, opposed it.
At present, the total strength of the two counties of Beihai and Donglai is only less than 60,000 or 70,000. Facing millions of Yellow Turban thieves, they simply hit stones with eggs.
Although the regular army can fight at least one and three Yellow Turban thieves, the terrain of Taishan County is complex, and those Yellow Turban thieves will not fight with you in position. Everyone is wandering around the mountain stream, and the large army cannot be expanded at all.
After all, if the Yellow Turban Thiefs were easy to deal with, they wouldn't have been entrenched in Taishan County for so many years, right?
However, as the supreme leader, Li Qingyuan directly suppressed all opposition voices. After all, these days, there was no need to pay attention to democracy. Instead, he ordered Taishi Ci, Wei Yan and Zhou Tai to lead 8,000 troops to block the main intersection of Taishan County. Then he and Aning led 30,000 elite troops to Taishan to suppress the bandits.
It is relatively more in line with the maximization of interests for Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai and Wei Yan to break through level 50, but Li Qingyuan and Aning studied together for a long time at night and felt that it is the most important to improve their strength!
Now it’s time to see that all the civil officials and military generals under him are loyal, but who can tell the truth about the human heart?
Li Qingyuan believed that he did not have the personality charm of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and could make his subordinates devote themselves to him forever. He used heavy traction to all recruits, so even though he knew that Taishi Ci and others should not betray him, he still subconsciously prepared to improve his strength and Aning first.
Now his strength is OK to deal with Wei Yan, but it seems very difficult to fight Zhou Tai and Taishi Ci.
If they were allowed to break through level 50, then they would be able to deal with them if they disappeared!
So this time, in addition to letting Aning improve his strength, he is also ready to pull out a wave of wool and upgrade his level.
Anyway, it’s okay to say that he is persecuted and that he can take possession of the pit and not shit. He is such a person!
In the past, even if he played the strategic Three Kingdoms game, Li Qingyuan would have raised his own monarch general to the highest level of the game, and at the same time brought all the treasures with attributes to his own monarch.
Even if this self-established monarch general would not go to the front line to fight, the equipment and level on his body would definitely be much better for those generals on the front line, but he would never hand over those things to the front line generals.
After he made such a big noise, all the neighbors around him naturally received news, and everyone was waiting to see his jokes.
After all, everyone knows that these Yellow Turban thieves in Taishan County have lived here for more than ten years, and no one is more familiar with the local terrain than them. In a rugged and uneven place in the mountains, even a hundred thousand troops are sometimes not stronger than ten thousand bandits who are proficient in terrain.
But what everyone unexpected was that Li Qingyuan and Aning only spent more than twenty days to chase all the Yellow Turban thieves in Taishan County and fled everywhere, and then shocked Taishi Ci and others who were responsible for arresting people outside.
The millions of Yellow Turban thieves who had been entrenched in Taishan County and relied on the dangerous mountains to fight against all the princes for more than ten years were unable to hold on for a month under Aning's command. According to the memories of those Yellow Turban thieves who escaped by chance, Aning was simply using troops like a god. Many times, these local bandits did not know what was going on, and the officers and soldiers had already killed behind their butts.
There is no way. If these millions of Yellow Turban thieves really set off the formation like Guan Hai in the past, then Li Qingyuan might have a little headache.
Because even though 60% of them are old, weak, women and children, there are still 450,000 young and strong people. With 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, it is definitely a miserable victory even if he can win.
But these Yellow Turban thieves all wanted to use the dangerous terrain in the mountains to ambush him, but they were naturally stunned.
The small map with a radius of five kilometers is not very useful in the plains, because people with good eyes can even see the general scene dozens of kilometers away, especially in this world, there is also a strange skill that can greatly increase people's vision. You can even see the movements of people outside thirty kilometers away in places without obstacles.
However, in the rolling mountainous areas, five kilometers is definitely like a natural barrier, and even the straight line of five kilometers is separated by several hills.
With the help of a war artifact like the system minimap, Li Qingyuan and Aning could calmly formulate various plans, and defeat all the Yellow Turban thieves in just a few days.
Originally, these Yellow Turban thieves thought they had occupied the geographical advantage, but who would have thought that the enemy was more familiar with every tree and grass in the mountains than them. Many times, they waited until they were defeated by the troops led by Li Qingyuan and found that there was a path at the foot of the mountain that they didn't know at all!
Li Qingyuan pacified millions of Yellow Turban thieves in Taishan County in one battle. Although many bandits broke through the blockade and fled to other prefectures and counties, he collected at least about 700,000 Yellow Turban prisoners this time.
Although the elderly, weak, women and children account for the majority of these people, they can still be selected by picking 150,000 soldiers.
