Chapter 255

Youfufeng Commandery, Chencang County, served as a vital passage in Guanzhong.

Dense crowds of Liangzhou rebels besieged this city, submerging the city guarded by the Han army.

As long as Chencang was captured, they could strike directly at the Liangzhou government seat.

The main general of the Huangzhong Volunteer Army, Beigong Beigong Boyu, led his army to kill the Protector of the Zhang Zhang Qiang Colonel, Leng Zheng, and launched a rebellion.

Leading hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou cavalry to besiege Chencang City, the black clouds pressed down on the city as if it were about to crumble.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion had not yet been completely pacified, and the Great Han court already had a trend of entering a period of separatist warlords.

The current Great Han court was incomparably chaotic.

Externally, remnants of the Yellow Turban Army were active, the Heishan Army was ravaging, and various bandits were rising everywhere; internally, there was the rebellion of the Huangzhong Volunteer Army.

Additionally, some foreign lords also joined the rebels, using the name of the rebels to start attacking cities and seizing land to strengthen their own power.

Relying solely on territory development was too slow for ordinary players.

Only by attacking cities and seizing land and expanding everywhere was the fastest way.

Unfortunately, the prerequisite for all this was the need for strength.

A single player certainly couldn't do it.

But a group of players, under the coordination of interested parties, was enough to form a huge team.

"Although the Great Han court defeated the Yellow Turbans, it has already exhausted its national strength, and with the Heishan ravaging, it is simply powerless to pacify Liangzhou. We can assist Beigong Beigong Boyu in capturing Liangzhou and declare ourselves kings!"

Many players with various troop types watched the siege and defense of Chencang.

Relying on the dangerous terrain of Chencang, the Han army in Liangzhou held this place firmly, and countless Xiliang rebels were shot and killed by bows and arrows during the siege; the corpses of the troops who died in battle under the city piled up like mountains.

In Liangzhou City, people were in a panic, and the Xiliang rebels used the terrain advantage to advance, attacking the poorly defended Youfufeng Commandery and arriving at the gates of Chencang.

Grand General He Jin summoned Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, Su Li, Sun Jian, and others to resist the Liangzhou rebels.

Su Li, as the only foreign lord sent by the court, was even more prominent among the players; I fear that no player in the entire Three Kingdoms world did not know him.

As for the three heroes of the late Han, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were still suppressing the Yellow Turban Army in various places.

Lu Zhi was framed by the Ten Eunuchs; although he received pleas from Huangfu Song and others, he was still dismissed from office and returned home.

Therefore, none of the three heroes of the late Han participated in the suppression of the Liangzhou rebels this time.

Because a player like Su Li existed in this world, the original world line had already undergone significant changes.

Dong Zhuo broke the Guang Sect Yellow Turbans, his fame spread far and wide, and he began to be valued by the court.

Although Su Li secretly warned He Jin about Dong Zhuo's wolfish ambition, He Jin did not quite believe it.

There was no help for it, so Su Li had to let it go.

After coming out of the Grand General's mansion, he went to visit Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi was temporarily dismissed from office and at home.

He himself had also lost confidence in the court.

Because Su Li had fought side-by-side with Lu Zhi in Yecheng and was highly praised by Lu Zhi.

So after Su Li revealed his identity, Lu Zhi's servant led him to the backyard.

He saw Lu Zhi talking with an old man of the same age, and there was a teenage girl beside them playing the zither.

The sound of the zither was distant and graceful, like an echo in an empty valley, making one feel relaxed and happy.

"Bo Jie, this is the Lord of Baiyun City in Changshan, Su Li, whom I have told you about. He broke the Yellow Turbans, and his contribution is indispensable!"

"Lord Su, this is the Court Consultant, Lord Cai!"

Lu Zhi introduced Su Li and the old man to each other.

It turned out to be the famous Eastern Han literary figure Cai Yong.

Could the girl playing the zither be Cai Yong's daughter? Cai Cai Wenji?

The girl looked delicate in features, gentle in character, and had a water-like tenderness, nodding slightly to Su Li to signal.

"This is my little daughter, Cai Yan, Cai Zhaoji!"

When Cai Yong introduced Cai Yan, he looked Su Li up and down.

Su Li was recognized by Lu Zhi, and Cai Yong, as Lu Zhi's good friend, naturally wanted to think highly of Su Li.

At this time, Lu Zhi asked: "I wonder what brings Lord Su here?"

"The Grand General summoned me to suppress the Liangzhou rebels, but I have always heard that the Liangzhou army is brave and fierce, exceptionally valiant, so I came specifically to visit General Lu. Does the General have any teachings?"

···

Su Li was not here to ask for advice.

He just wanted to find an excuse to build a relationship with Lu Zhi.

After all, Lu Zhi was a famous Confucian scholar in the world today, with many students. If he could build a good relationship with Lu Zhi, then it would be much easier to recruit civil and military officials related to him.

"Lord Su is too polite. How can I still be a general, let alone have any teachings."

"However, I do have some understanding of the terrain in Guanzhong... I can tell you about it..."

Lu Zhi was indeed willing to say everything he knew, explaining the dangerous places in Guanzhong and Liangzhou to Su Li.

Cai Yan's zither-playing stopped, and she opened her eyes, which were like stars, watching this Su Li discuss the great affairs of the country with Lu Zhi.

For some reason, she felt that this foreigner was very attractive.

Although Cai Yong was only a Court Consultant, he was also concerned about the Liangzhou rebels and commented from time to time.

Finally, after finishing, Lu Zhi sighed: "Defeating the Liangzhou rebels is actually not difficult... but even if the Liangzhou rebels are defeated, the entire Xiliang is a place of chaotic war, and the court is willing but lacks the strength to completely pacify the rebellion."

Cai Yong also stroked his beard and sighed: "Now that the world is in chaos, I wonder when it will be pacified?"

"Lord Su, there is one more thing you need to be cautious about."

"I have seen Dong Zhuo before; this person has a kind face but a cruel heart, he is a jackal and a wolf."

"In the future, he might cause a great disaster!"

Lu Zhi suddenly mentioned Dong Zhuo, whom Su Li was going to Liangzhou with to suppress the rebellion.

Lu Zhi, as a master of Confucianism, had first-class ability to judge people and saw through Dong Zhuo's character.
