Chapter 535 Bandits and Yellow Turbans
After Luo Zhi left, Li Gongtu just woke up, shook his somewhat groggy head, and continued reading without feeling anything unusual at all.
Hao County is just a small county town. There are very few people in the city, less than 3,000 people. The strongest among them is only the third level, which is the third level of spiritual fire realm in this world, and it is still the early stage.
Luo Zhi and others can be said to be invincible in this county, and they don't have to worry about anyone at all.
Returning to the inn where he was staying temporarily, Luo Zhi told several people the information he had obtained, and then said: "This time, I am planning to join Cao Cao's camp. You have all seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so you should know the details of this war.
Final result.”
Several people nodded, and Hongkui said: "You can make up your own mind about these matters. We have no objections."
The result of the Eighteenth Route Princes' campaign against Dong was that Dong Zhuo was defeated. Facing the Eighteenth Route Army, he simply burned Luoyang, burned the ancient city into ruins, and then moved the capital directly to Chang'an with the Emperor of Han.
Among the eighteen princes, only Cao Cao led his men to pursue him.
As for others, they stopped moving forward after arriving in Luoyang, for various reasons.
If he joins other people's camp, Luo Zhi dare not say that he is a wise man and has no confidence in persuading those people to follow Cao Cao in hunting down Dong Zhuo. Therefore, it is best to follow Cao Cao in advance and hunt down Dong Zhuo together.
Only in this way can you have the opportunity to complete the next two main tasks.
Luo Zhidao: "Now Cao Cao assassinates Dong Zhuo and is chased by Dong Zhuo. I don't know where he is. I can go to Cao Cao's hometown first and wait there."
The revival of spiritual energy not only brings about changes in personal force, but also the area of the entire world is constantly increasing. Today's Han Dynasty has a land area ten times that of the Han Dynasty in history.
Therefore, compared to history, the Han Dynasty in this world had many small cities and the map was more complicated.
Although Li Gongtu is said to be the most knowledgeable person in Hao County, he has only been to Luoyang. He only knows the names of other places but does not know their specific locations.
Therefore, if you want to find Cao Cao's hometown, you have to ask around.
At this time, the empress said: "Are you going to take just a few of us with you? Even if you defect to Cao Cao, different people will be treated differently."
Luo Zhi heard this and felt it made sense.
In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after Cao Cao returned to his hometown, many people heard about his reputation and came to defect to him.
Le Jin, Li Dian, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houchun, Cao Hong, Cao Ren and others all came to defect at this time.
However, Yue Jin and Li Dian were the only ones, while the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers both brought thousands of people with them, so the positions they held after defecting were completely different.
This era attaches great importance to family background, and it doesn't matter if your family background is not enough to get a position. If you don't have a family background and a position, you won't have a chance to get ahead even if you join.
The best example is Guan Yu. Everyone in the world knows the story of killing Hua Xiong with warm wine, but before killing Hua Xiong, because he was a horse archer, he had no position and no soldiers under him, so when he opened his mouth to prepare for battle,
At that time, everyone was laughing at me.
If Cao Cao hadn't spoken, how could he have been allowed to fight to kill Hua Xiong?
Luo Zhi was not stupid. He understood it as soon as the empress said it.
"What you mean is that you want me to take a certain number of people to defect in order to obtain a higher position? But where do the people come from?"
The empress smiled slightly and said, "Aren't bandits human?"
Luo Zhi suddenly understood.
At this time, the people are in dire straits, and many people really can't survive anymore, so they go up to the mountains and become bandits and bandits. Together with the defeated Yellow Turban Army, there are more than a million bandits in the world.
According to the memory Luo Zhi got from Li Gongtu, there are many bandits in the mountains near Hao County!
"In this case, let's recruit the bandits first... No, no, we can recruit them directly. Although we will definitely recruit them, we will not be able to maximize our profits."
Luo Zhi is confident that he can recruit bandits, but directly recruiting them is not in his current interests.
prestige!
This is the requirement for the first main mission. If you recruit bandits and increase your reputation at the same time...
Luo Zhi gradually had an idea in his mind.
Later, Luo Zhi took Hongkui and others around the county to take a good look at the situation in the county.
A small county town with no more than 3,000 people has a defensive force of less than 200. Most of them are first-level soldiers, with a small number of second-level soldiers. The only third-level soldier in the city is not a member of the government, but a member of the city.
The head of the family 'Zhou Family'.
After reading it, Luo Zhi asked the others to stay in the city and flew out of the city to check the strength and number of the bandits.
However, the result disappointed him.
Near Hao County, there are twenty-five groups of bandits, with as many as fifty or sixty people and as few as seven or eight. They are not considered bandits at all. They can only be said to be a group of ruffians. If they are all added together, they will not be able to count.
Four hundred people.
Among the more than 300 people, the strongest ones are in the late second level, there are seven or eight other second level people, more than 30 first level people, and the rest are all zero level ones.
With their strength, they couldn't defeat the Hao County guards together. They were scattered into more than 20 groups, and their strength was even weaker. At most, they could only rob the villages below Hao County.
"No wonder the strength is so weak, but it has not been wiped out after so long..."
Because they only robbed villages and never dared to go to Hao County, the families and guarding soldiers in Hao County didn't care about them at all, so they naturally lived a long time.
These bandits couldn't do it, so Luo Zhi could only expand the area and search further away.
In this way, when the area was spread to 400 miles, Luo Zhi found a suitable team of bandits.
Here, there is a city named Lixian with a population of over ten thousand. The strongest are those in the late third level. There are as many as twelve hundred soldiers guarding the place.
The reason there are so many soldiers is because of a large group of bandits outside the city, or in other words - the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army!
The leader of these Yellow Turbans was Zhang Tiejie, a late-stage third-level warrior. After the Yellow Turbans failed, he fled here with eight hundred of his men, plundered the people, and expanded his team to 1,500. In this area of a thousand miles,
Within, it is considered the largest force.
There were originally only 700 soldiers in the county. After Zhang Tiejie attacked several times, the number expanded to 1,200.
"With Zhang Tiejie's power, it is impossible to attack Li County, but it is easy to attack Haoxian County. It's just that there is a distance of four hundred miles in between, and Haoxian County is too poor, so Zhang Tiejie never thought of attacking Haoxian County.
.However, as long as I am here, you have to fight even if you don’t want to!"
Luo Zhi looked at the bandit camp in the mountains and forests below, and after seeing and hearing the most powerful Zhang Tieji, he instantly appeared behind him and bombarded him with powerful spiritual power.
