Chapter 184: The Zhuge Clan of Langya

"Yellow Turbans attacking?"

"How many people came?"

Su Fan frowned when he heard Gao Hu's words. Although he knew that this place would be attacked by the Yellow Turban Army sooner or later, he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

He is hundreds or thousands of li away from the major county towns of Donghai Commandery, and he is still on the edge of the ocean. It should be quite secret, at least it should be able to be hidden for a period of time.

Of course, Su Fan also knows that this place is not a secret to the Taiping Dao.

Especially some time ago, those Taiping Dao masters took a batch of Taiping Dao believer martial artists to Xuzhou, which probably leaked a lot of information about this place.

"Young Master, according to our scouts, there are no less than thirty thousand, but most of them are old, weak, women, and children."

Gao Hu didn't have any fear.

He knew very well what the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army was; it was simply a group of mobs.

"Do you know what the situation is with this group of Yellow Turbans?"

Running here for no reason, he always felt that there was something in it.

"This group of people seems to be a group of defeated troops."

Gao Hu hesitated and said.

"Defeated troops?"

"Our scouts found out that when Guan Hai was attacking Langya Commandery, he did not succeed. Instead, he fell into a trap and was counter-attacked by the imperial army of Langya Commandery, losing hundreds of thousands of troops."

"So his millions of troops also fled to other places? Is this group a part of Guan Hai's fleeing troops?"

Su Fan understood immediately upon hearing this.

"Guan Hai actually lost? Did you find out who the defending general of Langya Commandery is?"

Su Fan was very curious. No matter what, Guan Hai is also a martial general of the third or fourth level of Gang-Refining, and he has millions of Yellow Turban Army under his command. Being beaten by the other party to flee everywhere, the defending general of Langya Commandery is obviously not simple.

It is very likely to be a Gang-Refining martial general or a Soul-Refining literati.

Langya Zhuge, this is a surname that can never be ignored in the Three Kingdoms.

Zhuge Liang is a famous prime minister through the ages. Mentioning loyal ministers, Zhuge Liang cannot be bypassed. Of course, Zhuge Kongming is even more of a capable minister through the ages.

However, Zhuge Liang is estimated to be only three or four years old now, still a little kid.

But the Zhuge family cannot be underestimated. The three brothers of Zhuge Kongming's generation, one dragon, one tiger, and one dog, served Wei, Shu, and Wu respectively.

They all reached very high positions, and the abilities of the three brothers are not bad.

It can be seen that the family's education is very powerful, so the ability of their father's generation is definitely not bad.

Su Fan guessed whether the Zhuge family had helped here.

"It is said that there is a Soul-Refining expert who cast a spell and injured Guan Hai, so the Yellow Turban Army was routed."

Gao Hu said.

"Heh!" Su Fan was not surprised when he heard this. After literati cultivate to the Soul-Refining Realm, their personal strength greatly increases. The soul communicates with heaven and earth, and the spells cast are extremely powerful. If it is a sneak attack, it is even more terrifying.

If Guan Hai was careless, it is indeed possible to be tricked.

Millions of troops, tens of millions of Yellow Turban people, would not be completely routed because of one failure. Guan Hai would definitely gather the fleeing soldiers everywhere.

But there must be some who will not flee back to Guan Hai's side.

Maybe this time, the one heading to his place is the troops from Guan Hai, as well as the Taiping Dao who left from his place before.

Before, those Taiping Dao masters wanted Su Fan to send troops to attack Donghai Commandery. Su Fan naturally did not agree.

Those people could only take some of their own people and go out.

They took away fifty or sixty thousand, of which 70% were strong and young, but these people wanting to attack Donghai Commandery is really wishful thinking.

And several masters only have the cultivation of the middle stage of Soul-Nourishing, and the Yellow Turban warriors they can create do not exceed twenty.

Even if the military preparations of Donghai Commandery are abandoned, the guards in the hands of the powerful clans inside are not weak.

Yellow Turban warriors, blessed with special spells, will make some soldiers have combat power comparable to the fifth level of Qi-Refining for a short time.

However, this kind of spell is extremely difficult to practice, and it also requires some runes to assist. At the same time, as a carrier, they themselves need a strong body.

Su Fan naturally also knows this spell, but after the Yellow Turban warriors are cast, those carriers will have great sequelae.

It is itself consuming their origin to forcibly improve their strength.

Su Fan naturally disdains to use this kind of means. If he wants to cultivate, he will also cultivate true Qi-Refining soldiers, not by taking shortcuts.

"Young Master, do you think Guan Hai, after this lesson, will dare to attack Langya again, or turn to other places?"

Gao Hu was a bit curious. Because he had previously transported two batches of grain to Guan Hai and the others, he naturally saw the army under Guan Hai. They were all farmers who had not been trained. Except for a few who had weapons and armor in their hands, most of them were sticks, hoes, and other weapons.

Such people, even if there are many, are difficult to threaten cities with defenses.

"Hehe! If there is no food, what do you think they will do?"

Su Fan asked back with a smile, "And if they don't attack the city to strengthen their own power, what awaits them is the government turning back to suppress them."

"Don't worry about Guan Hai for now. He has the martial strength of the third or fourth level of Gang-Refining. In Xuzhou, there are not many who want to threaten him."

Guan Hai is a Gang-Refining expert after all. As long as he is in the Yellow Turban Army, even a strong person at the fourth or fifth level of Gang-Refining will find it very difficult to kill the former.

After all, Guan Hai has quite a few Yellow Turban warriors in his hands.

"You take people to destroy those Yellow Turban Army who want to rob us here."

"Hehe! Young Master, don't worry. This time, no matter how many come, we will destroy them all."

Gao Hu didn't take those people in his eyes at all.

Although they have less than fifty thousand soldiers here, and only ten thousand are fully formed, they have been trained for more than half a year, plus sufficient meat, so the morale of these soldiers is quite high, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to that group of fleeing soldiers.

"I will follow you then, but just scatter them. If I kill them all, where can I go to recruit people? The mine is short of manpower."

Is Su Fan short of people here?

To say no is also possible. After all, there are already a million people, and building a city can also become a commandery-level city.

If he has no ambition, this is enough.

But does Su Fan have no ambition?

He has no ambition for power. Even if he sat on that supreme throne, it would not be a joy for him.

He came to this world for the sake of cultivation, and at the same time for the sake of repairing the Universe Mirror.

If he can repair the Huanyu Mirror, then even if he competes for the world, he will not let go.

Calculated this way, he is still very short of manpower. A million people don't count for anything. If he really wants to compete for the world in the future, without tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people under his rule, it is difficult to compete with those warlords in the Central Plains.

Now he can prepare in advance. After all, compared to family background, the Guangling Gao clan is still too weak. ===== CHAPTER 185 =====
