"Sir! There is a group of retreating officers and soldiers in front!" A group of Yellow Turban Army scouts galloped over to report.

Because he has not yet had time to accept the title of official within the Yellow Turban Army, Zhao Futu's current reputation is not enough to directly call himself Qu Commander, so he can only call himself the Lieutenant of the Enemy School, which barely has a title. As for whether it fits with current history.

It's not important, because not many of these Yellow Turbans are literate. The key is that he has many people under his command now, and he can't control them unless he has his own name.

In this case, it is necessary to proclaim oneself a lieutenant rank below a general.

He led his army northward and encountered numerous defeated Yellow Turban troops. Some small-scale ones were annexed by him, while some larger-scale ones were unwilling to be subordinated and retreated to Qingzhou. The number of Yellow Turban troops who collapsed from Nanyang was over 100,000.

Wanshi, he gathered about one-tenth of them, and had more than a thousand people under his command. Later, after he captured a county town, he also had a name in the Yellow Turban Army, and came to defect to him.

The Yellow Turban defeated army also increased to more than 3,000 people. In this regard, unlike other Yellow Turban armies, Zhao Futu has much stricter requirements for recruiting manpower. Otherwise, if he absorbs some more Yellow Turban armies near Puyang, the number may reach 5,000.

above.

Military food and supplies were a big problem in this era. Zhao Futu had no support from the gentry and wealthy families. He relied on robbing and forcing local wealthy families to obtain the food. If he hadn't taken over a warehouse in a county town, he might not have been able to raise it at all.

There are so many people. One thing must be mentioned here, that is, Zhao Futu will not offend anyone who is willing to hand over part of his food and salary all the way north. Therefore, many local rich people along the way are willing to spend money to eliminate disasters, all in order to avoid a disaster.

A disaster of swordsmanship.

In this way, Zhao Futu's pseudonym "Huangshi" in this battlefield space has gained a little fame.

At the very least, he is indeed a little better than those Yellow Turban gangsters who plundered everywhere like locusts passing through the country, and neither the gentry, the wealthy, nor the local officials spared them.

After capturing a county town, Zhao Futu received sufficient military rations and a batch of equipment to arm his soldiers. Outside, there were people dying of hunger and bones, and the granaries inside the county town were empty, not even a mouse could be seen.

Yes, but the mansions of the county magistrate, county captain, county magistrate, and local gentry are filled with private warehouses full of rice and grain!

The once glorious Han Dynasty has come to an end, and its last bit of glory is about to disappear completely.

With the eunuchs and relatives in power, the entire Eastern Han Dynasty had become hopelessly decayed. The phenomenon of buying and selling officials could be seen everywhere. Since the local wealthy gentry spent a lot of money to buy officials, they naturally had to earn back the money doubled. This

In the past few years, the Central Plains has suffered countless droughts and floods, leaving the lower class people with no place to rely on. They had nothing to gain from, so they could only reach into the granaries of each county and use various small means such as deficits, natural disasters, etc. to destroy the county towns.

The wealth in the warehouse was completely divided.

One thing that was very common in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was that in this era of natural disasters, there was almost no local disaster relief, and some places even did not reduce taxes, forcing countless people to go into exile!

Zhao Futu spared those local surnames, but he did not spare any of the officials, gentry and wealthy families in the county.

After ransacking his home, he obtained a large amount of food and military pay, so naturally he no longer had any logistical concerns. He could not take away all the food, gold and silver, so he spent money to recruit people. Perhaps other Yellow Turban commanders had selfish motives and would

Some of the wealth was kept privately, but for contractors like Zhao Futu, these things that could not be taken away were of absolutely no value and might as well be used to win people's hearts.

With more than a thousand swords and halberds, three hundred suits of armor, and more than a hundred war horses, Zhao Futu immediately armed more than a thousand people and also formed a personal guard force of more than 300 people.

In fact, he has a deeper purpose for doing this, that is, if he goes to seek refuge with General Zhang Jue, he is not sure whether Zhang Jue will recruit his current soldiers. If these defeated Yellow Turban troops gathered by him are defeated,

If he is recruited, will the military power still be in his hands? After all, he has gathered more than 3,000 people now, and they are all specially selected soldiers. They may not have received any military training, but they are all young adults.

Absolutely no old, weak, sick or disabled!

Instead of waiting until then to try his luck, he might as well spend some time trying to win people's hearts now!

………………

"Defeated soldiers?" Zhao Futu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, flashed a glimmer of light, and said in a deep voice: "Where are they now?"

The Yellow Turban Army scout pointed to the valley in front of him and said respectfully: "In that valley, there are about four to five hundred of them, all of whom are remnants of defeated generals. At this moment, they are lighting a fire to make food, and I saw the smoke rising from the kitchen below.

I found them, but I didn’t dare to sneak over to investigate for fear of alarming others!”

"Come here! Give him five taels of silver, a pot of wine, and write down his military exploits!" Although modern people don't know much about the ancient process, they know more or less something. Zhao Futu's reward and punishment system does not need to be too perfect.

, he won't be able to stay here long, he just needs to let others understand that there are rewards for merit. Besides, the gold and silver obtained by attacking the county town are all irredeemable, so for him, they might as well be used as rewards.

Along the way, he also fought with several groups of officers and soldiers, and he rewarded those who fought bravely. Now the morale of this Yellow Turban Army can only be built with money.

Commanding an army to fight is completely different from fighting alone!

Zhao Futu wanted to command the army, so it was naturally impossible for him to go into battle in person. Therefore, after the battle, he gained almost no survival points, and all the items he obtained were non-exchangeable. However, he gained some world exploration and plot twists.

In addition to the rewards of a certain degree, there is also a considerable amount of camp reputation. He now only hopes that after completing this battlefield mission, he will receive a higher mission completion rating. Otherwise, the benefits of leading troops to fight will still be lost.

It's not as good as working alone.

"Luck has come!" Zhao Futu looked a little excited, and said in a deep voice to several promoted army chiefs around him: "Each of you will lead a team of people to outflank the enemy from the side. After I defeat the enemy's main force, I will fight out.

Be sure to take them all down!"

"Yes! Sir!" Several uncles accepted the order and left.

After saying that, Zhao Futu ordered the army to rest for a while, and then directly led the army to surround the valley.

He didn't expect to be so lucky that he encountered the Han Dynasty's defeated army as soon as he entered Jizhou. This was a military achievement that came to his doorstep! If he had been more lucky, he could have met a famous historical general who had been singled out.

, maybe he can really use the army to kill a few of those famous historical generals! An ordinary county captain can drop a dark blue key, and it is impossible for him to kill a famous historical general.

Isn't this bad?

Jizhou.

Zhang Jiao first defeated Lu Zhi and then Dong Zhuo. The morale of the Yellow Turban Army was greatly boosted, and the Han Dynasty officers and soldiers were defeated for hundreds of miles. Especially when the great sage Zhang Jiao defeated Dong Zhuo for the second time, the Han Dynasty army was defeated.

If Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei hadn't happened to be rescued by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo would have had to answer here! And this battle was also the beginning of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang's reputation. The three of them dared to charge forward with just their own strength.

An army of ten thousand people was able to rescue Dong Zhuo who was under siege. One can only imagine his abnormal force!

However, Liu Guanzhang will definitely not be here at this time.

They rescued Dong Zhuo, but they were not welcomed by Dong Zhuo and would definitely not stay here again at this time.

There is no doubt that these officers and soldiers are probably the remnants of the defeated troops that were scattered when Dong Zhuo was defeated. They were scattered all the way here and have completely lost contact with the main force.

………………

"Kill!"

"Heaven is dead, Huang Tian shall stand!"

As the shouts of killing suddenly sounded outside the valley, the defeated Han Dynasty soldiers in the valley suddenly jumped up like frightened birds. The shouts of killing outside shook the sky. Before the Yellow Turban Army could approach, there were already officers and soldiers who had no fighting spirit.

Ready to escape. But at this moment, a black-faced and fat general suddenly emerged from the Han army. He was wearing a general's armor and holding a long halberd. He shouted angrily: "Don't mess up your position!"

"

"Follow me and get out!!!"
