After half a night's work, before dawn, the soldiers of Mountain Town had finally captured all the family members of the Yellow Turban Army. The ten or so people in each tent were tied up with strips of cloth and clothes. Their hands were strapped together and they were brought to Mountain Town one after another.
The older children received the same treatment. Only the children who had difficulty moving and the infants in swaddling clothes were held in the arms of the Mountain Town soldiers who were in charge of keeping them in captivity. With these children in their hands, the originally noisy womenfolk quieted down. They looked at their children in fear, afraid that an accident would happen!
Seeing this, Yang Rui could not help but sigh. Although this was a game, after the second system update, the NPCs' emotions were very similar to that of real people. Yang Rui could not bear to see them like this.
"My lord! How do you plan to deal with the family members of the Yellow Turban Army? "
When Yang Rui returned to the checkpoint at the entrance of Ao Lai Valley, Wang Hai immediately approached him and asked worriedly.
"Leave them in Mountain Town and let them live a normal life."
"My lord, you can't do that!"
Wang Hai shouted, "Although the family members of the Yellow Turban Army are women and children, they are deeply influenced by the ideology of the Taoism of Taiping. Moreover, most of their men and their fathers died in the hands of the soldiers of Mountain Town. If we leave them in Mountain Town, not only will I not be able to subdue them, but they will also become a disaster!"
Yang Rui frowned slightly. Subconsciously, he had thought of this as well. However, he brought these families back with the intention of subduing them and using them for his own purposes.
"Can't we subdue them?"
"Now that the Yellow Turban Army is causing chaos, the poor commoners have been deceived. Unless the Yellow Turban Army is quelled, these family members will not be able to wake up."
Wang Hai's attitude was very firm. He wanted to chase the remaining members of the Yellow Turban Army out of Mountain Town. According to him, before the Yellow Turban Army's plot ended, it would be difficult to subdue the family members of the Yellow Turban Army.
Next, Wang Hai tried his best to persuade Yang Rui for a long time. Everything he said was very reasonable. Just as he said, the family members of the Yellow Turban Army were indeed an unstable factor in Mountain Town. Although they did not have much offensive power, it would be troublesome if they suddenly attacked people one day. They could not just be tied up like this.
Most importantly, he had to solve the problem of their food and drink! Initially, the entire world was suffering from a food shortage. Although the Mountain Town's food reserves were not small, it was not to the extent that they could freely give out food!
"For the time being, let's settle them in the outer valley of the Black Dragon Valley and build them some simple thatched huts. With the Black Dragon Swamp as a barrier and a group of soldiers guarding the entrance and exit to prevent them from approaching the inner valley, these women and children should not be able to cause any harm! I'll have to trouble you with this matter … "
Although Wang Hai tried to dissuade him, Yang Rui decided to let the Yellow Turban Army families stay. Otherwise, if these women and children were chased out of Mountain Town, they would be faced with a dead end in the chaos outside! Or they could become the vassals of the Yellow Turban Army and face the end of the road! In any case, the result wouldn't be good!
"Sigh … alright."
Wang Hai sighed and helplessly went to make preparations.
Just as Yang Rui said, settling the Yellow Turban Army families outside of the Black Dragon Swamp was the most suitable place for them to stay. The Mountain Town had not been developed yet and no one had settled down here. Moreover, both ends of the Mountain Town could be sealed, so there was no need to worry about them escaping. Placing the family members of the opposing camp here would not cause any accidents.
"Senior Martial Brother is awesome!"
The hustle and bustle of the Yellow Turban Army's family members had already alarmed Ren Sisi in the checkpoint. She had seen Yang Rui's attitude towards these family members and playfully gave him a thumbs up. Recently, Ren Sisi had been acting more and more like a little girl. She was completely different from the serious and solemn person in the white coat in the real world.
"Why hasn't the Yellow Turban Army attacked the town yet?"
Ren Sisi's playful expression changed to one of helplessness.
In fact, Ren Sisi wasn't the only one who was anxious. Zhang Tian was as well!
"System Announcement: The Yellow Turban Army of Ji Province has captured Luan City County. The County Magistrate of Luan City has escaped amidst the chaos. The citizens of Luan City have responded to the Yellow Turban Army. Countless people follow them wherever they go …"
From time to time, the System Announcements would announce the Yellow Turban Army's great close combat achievements. However, the checkpoint at the entrance of Ao Lai Valley in Mountain Town was exceptionally quiet. The sky was already bright, but there were no signs of the Yellow Turban Army attacking the checkpoint. This made Zhang Tian, who had been waiting at the checkpoint, very frustrated!
Yang Rui and the others had raided the camp overnight and cleared out all the Yellow Turban Army's tents near the Ao Lai Valley. It seemed like it had worked! It was only in the afternoon that a small group of a few hundred Yellow Turban Army arrived at the Ao Lai Valley checkpoint. Zhang Tian was still not satisfied!
It was already evening. The Yellow Turban Army could no longer come. Yang Rui led all forty Fifth Grade bandit leaders out of Ao Lai Valley and headed in the direction of Jiang Ji's Wutun Town.
At this moment, Yang Rui was worried about the situation at Wutun Town. That was because the Mountain Town hadn't been attacked for the entire day. On the other hand, Yang Rui's points and achievement points were still rising!
This meant that the Wutun Town of Jiang Ji had killed a lot of Yellow Turban Army soldiers. The situation should be very intense! The Yellow Turban Army was currently very fierce. Even though Yang Rui had plenty of manpower at Wutun Town, Yang Rui was still worried.
Meanwhile, the Mountain Town's Ao Lai Valley checkpoint was left to Zhang Tian to defend. With Ren Sisi coordinating the situation at the checkpoint, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Under the cover of the night, Yang Rui and the Fifth Grade bandit leaders moved quickly. The Yellow Turban Army was present in almost every village and town they passed by. Moreover, they had already taken over most of these territories. Only a small number of towns were still holding out against the Yellow Turban Army. However, most of them were surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army. The situation was very passive.
It could be said that without the bandit leaders leading the way and escorting him, Yang Rui would have a hard time moving forward! Of course, Yang Rui and the others had plenty of opportunities to attack when they passed by the Yellow Turban Army's camps. However, Yang Rui didn't want to waste time on this. He ordered the bandit leaders not to attack as they pleased and headed straight for Wutun Town of Jiang Ji.
"Hmm? I think I saw a silhouette just now. Let's go take a look. "
"A silhouette my ass. To hell with it! Goddammit! Ever since I joined the Yellow Turban Army, I've been fighting and conquering a lot of territories. Yet, I've only been rewarded with some mission points and Merit points. They haven't given me anything else! I still have to stay in this stupid talisman tent at night. I can't take it anymore! Goddammit … "
"Be content with what you have! Didn't you see how many times the players who chose to join the Han Ting Faction died? Almost all the territories have been taken over by the Yellow Turban Army! We haven't put in much effort here. It's good enough that we can get some mission points and Merit points. When the time comes, we'll be able to exchange for real equipment and items. Moreover, I heard that the five major player alliances of Juping County have all chosen the Yellow Turban Faction. Our Juping County is definitely the Yellow Turban Faction's territory. "
Naturally, there were players in the Yellow Turban Tent that Yang Rui passed by. The two people who were talking were part of this group of players. However, Yang Rui didn't hear their conversation. There were some things that he didn't know about, such as the fact that the five major player alliances of Juping County had chosen the Yellow Turban Faction.
When Yang Rui saw Jiang Ji's Wutun Town, only then did he relax.
