Chapter 493: Temporarily Lead Changshan, Head to Luoyang 《Please subscribe automatically!!!》

Leader Zhang Niujiao died in battle, and the remaining one hundred thousand Heishan Army troops immediately collapsed, either fleeing or surrendering. Su Li led his troops to pursue for a hundred miles, breaking the Zhang Niujiao legion, and also incorporated countless surrendered Heishan Army soldiers.

In the original history of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao incorporated the Qingzhou Huang Jin Army to start his career.

And Su Li now wants to rely on subduing the Heishan Army of Zhending County to initially establish the foundation of his hegemony.

That is why Su Li turned from defense to offense, using force to beat the Heishan Army into submission.

Bandit-type greenwood heroes believe in the strong being respected, so the captured Heishan Army soldiers were submissive, had no intention of rebelling, and didn't even dare to look directly at Su Li, who was like a god of war.

Moreover, these simple-minded Heishan Army soldiers were originally commoners, without extra thoughts; whoever had the bigger fist and let them fill their stomachs, they would follow.

"Lord Su is truly like a god descending to earth, the million commoners 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 proposes that Lord Su temporarily act as our Zhending County Magistrate, until we petition the higher-ups, how about it?"

The officials of Zhending County, because of Su Li's prestige in defeating the Heishan Army and beheading the Heishan Army leader Zhang Niujiao, 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 a chaotic world have appeared, with the Huang Jin Army before and the Heishan Army after, and bandits running rampant, whoever has the strength to protect the territory and settle the people will become the object supported by local powerful clans and officials.

In order to prevent the bandits from making a comeback, Zhending County chose Su Li as the County Magistrate one after another to protect one side.

Seeing that these people were so sensible, Su Li saved himself from a wave of forceful seizure.

Su Li directly skipped the appointment of the imperial court and took charge of the Zhending County Magistrate.

Since the beginning of the Huang Jin Rebellion, the imperial court's control over all parties had weakened to the extreme.

Not only is it an opportunity for local warlords to seize power, it is also the best opportunity for extraordinary people like them to partition one side.

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, as well as improve technology, which also has a great strategic role.

After taking the position of Zhending County Magistrate.

Su Li checked the current situation of Zhending City.

Zhending City is a level 1 medium-sized city.

It possesses high-level barracks, elite soldier camps, as well as high-level medical centers, blacksmith shops, siege camps (training craftsmen, manufacturing siege weapons)...

Compared to Bai Yun City, Zhending City, as a medium-sized city, is more suitable to serve as the main city.

However, Bai Yun City, as a player territory, still has many advantages.

The further back you go, the more obvious it is.

Unless it is a state-level giant city like Yecheng, Su Li will not easily give it up.

"Migrate part of the population to Bai Yun City, accelerate the development of Bai Yun City!"

Su Li began to issue orders.

In this way, the cities he truly controls are Zhending City and Bai Yun City, incorporating more than one hundred thousand Heishan Army soldiers, and the population of the two cities adds up to about one million, leaping to become a small warlord with strength.

For now, only he, a player lord, can be called a warlord.

However...

After Su Li's sphere of influence expanded to two cities, Bai Hao, who is only a special NPC and whose growth is not very high, was a bit stretched.

Although with the help of the original officials of Zhending County, he still managed the two cities in an orderly manner, but 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. ===== CHAPTER 497 =====
