Chapter 251: Temporarily Leading Changshan, Heading to Luoyang 《Please Subscribe!!!》
Leader Zhang Zhang Niujiao died in battle, and the remaining more than one hundred thousand Black Mountain Army soldiers immediately collapsed, either fleeing or surrendering. Su Li led his troops to pursue for a hundred miles, breaking the Zhang Zhang Niujiao legion, and recruited countless surrendered Black Mountain Army soldiers.
In the original history of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao started by recruiting the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
And Su Li now wants to rely on recruiting the Black Mountain Army of Zhending County to initially establish the cornerstone of his hegemony.
Therefore, Su Li turned from defense to offense, using force to beat the Black Mountain Army into submission.
These greenwood heroes, the bandits, believe in the strong, so the captured Black Mountain Army soldiers were submissive, had no intention of rebelling, and did not even dare to look directly at Su Li, who was like a god of war.
Moreover, these simple-minded Black Mountain Army soldiers were originally common people, had no extra thoughts, and followed whoever had the bigger fist and could feed them.
"Lord Su is truly like a god descending to earth; the one million people of Zhending County "897" all rely on Lord Su's help to be protected."
"If the County Magistrate and County Commandant were to know in the underworld, they would surely smile in the underworld."
"Your subordinate suggests that Lord Su temporarily act as our Zhending County Magistrate, until we petition the higher-ups, how about it?"
Because Su Li defeated the Black Mountain Army and killed the Black Mountain Army leader Zhang Zhang Niujiao, the officials of Zhending County were very in awe of Su Li, and almost without objection, they supported Su Li to temporarily act as the Zhending County Magistrate.
Now that the signs of chaotic times have appeared, first the Yellow Turban Army, then the Black Mountain Army, and bandits are rampant; whoever has the strength to protect the territory and the people will become the object of support for local powerful clans and officials.
In order to prevent the bandits from making a comeback, everyone in Zhending County chose Su Li as the County Magistrate to protect one side.
Seeing that these people were so sensible, Su Li saved himself from a lot of forceful seizing.
Su Li directly skipped the appointment of the imperial court and took charge of the Zhending County Magistrate.
Since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court's control over all parties has been weak to the extreme.
This is not only an opportunity for local heroes to seize power, but also the best opportunity for them, these outlanders, to carve out a territory.
Even if they take one or two cities, the imperial court cannot control them at all.
Of course!
Even if they take local cities, the development of their own territory is not useless; they can serve as two cities that look out for each other and help each other.
Moreover, player territories can produce NPCs on their own and improve technology, which also has a great strategic role.
After taking the position of Zhending County Magistrate.
Su Li checked the status of Zhending City.
Zhending City is a level 1 medium city.
It possesses high-level barracks, elite camps, as well as high-level medical halls, blacksmith shops, siege camps (training craftsmen, manufacturing siege weapons)...
Compared to White Cloud City, Zhending City, as a medium-sized city, is more suitable to serve as the main city.
However, White Cloud City, as a player territory, still has advantages.
The further you go, the more obvious it becomes.
Unless it is capturing a state-level giant city like Yecheng, Su Li will not easily give it up.
"Migrate part of the population to White Cloud City to accelerate the development of White Cloud City!"
Su Li began to issue orders.
In this way, the cities he truly controls are Zhending City and White Cloud City, recruiting more than one hundred thousand Black Mountain Army soldiers, and the population of the two cities combined is about one million, leaping to become a small warlord with strength.
At present, only he can be called a warlord among player lords.
However...
After Su Li's sphere of influence expanded to two cities, Bai Hao, who is only a special NPC and does not have high growth, was somewhat inadequate as an internal affairs official.
Although with the help of the original officials of Zhending County, he still managed the two cities in an orderly manner, it was already the limit.
If he wants to expand further in the future, I am afraid he will have to recruit a more outstanding internal affairs official.
"Issue a recruitment order to recruit talent between the two cities, hoping for some gains."
Expanding territory means expanding reputation; at this time, issuing a proclamation to recruit talent might yield some gains.
And Su Li's defeat of the Black Mountain Army's Zhang Zhang Niujiao in Zhending County spread quickly.
For a time, the world was in an uproar.
Zhang Zhang Niujiao was a famous Black Mountain Army leader, but he was killed by Su Li.
The Black Mountain Army of the entire Changshan Commandery was also suppressed by Su Li, an outlander lord.
Such actions, coupled with the previous achievement of breaking the three Zhang brothers, made him in full swing, and he was even on par with the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun, and his reputation even spread to Luoyang City.
Grand General He Jin heard of Su Li's reputation and thought that Su Li was worth winning over, so he specifically sent his confidant to invite Su Li to the Grand General's mansion in Luoyang City for a detailed discussion... 0
It is clear that He Jin wants to win over this outlander lord, Su Li.
…………
Within Jizhou Commandery, the remaining parts of the Black Mountain Army.
Zhang Yan and Yu Du cooperated, leading one million Black Mountain Army soldiers to break Zhaojun and other county cities, looting everywhere, with fires rising and smoke curling.
Zhang Zhang Niujiao asked the two for help, and Zhang Yan and Yu Du immediately led their troops to kill toward Changshan Commandery.
However, before they could move their troops, bad news came from Changshan Commandery: Zhang Zhang Niujiao was killed by the outlander lord Su Li, and tens of thousands of Black Mountain Army soldiers were either dead or surrendered.
Zhang Yan and Yu Du could not figure out Su Li's strength and hesitated for a while.
"The outlander lord Su Li, who successively killed Zhang Jiao and others, and defeated Zhang Zhang Niujiao, his strength is probably terrifying."
Zhang Yan hesitated.
A person's name is like the shadow of a tree.
Su Li's current strength is a mystery to them.
Zhang Yan's ability exceeds Zhang Zhang Niujiao's, but Zhang Yan dare not say that he can defeat Zhang Jiao.
It is rumored that the three Zhang brothers were all killed by Su Li.
So, how strong is Su Li?
Zhang Yan really cannot guess.
"Channel Commander Zhang, I heard that after the Administrator of Hedong, Dong Zhuo, replaced Lu Zhi, he fiercely attacked the Yellow Turbans' last stronghold in Jizhou, Guang Sect City; although the Han army suffered heavy losses, the Yellow Turbans have already shown signs of defeat."
"Since the Yellow Turbans are about to be defeated, why don't we temporarily hibernate to avoid 5. becoming the bird that sticks its head out."
"And be jointly wiped out by the Han army and the outlander lord Su Li."
Yu Du was also somewhat afraid.
Although the world is in chaos now, the Great Han imperial court is unable to take care of itself.
But if the Yellow Turbans are suppressed, their Black Mountain Army probably won't be much better off.
