The idea wasn't complicated, but with the small number of villagers under Xiaohui's command, it wasn't easy to implement. It took a few days to settle everything. By the time all the families of the Yellow Turban Army were moved, it was already ten days later!
Leaving aside the slow construction of the 'settlement' for the Yellow Turban Family in Water Origin Village, after Yang Rui finished arranging this matter, he also left behind Li Dong, 50 Third Grade Archers, and 100 Third Grade Melee Warriors to defend the Ao Lai Valley with Zhang Tian, Wang Hai, and the rest. Yang Rui himself brought Tian Bao, Sun Bao, and the remaining 200 elite soldiers to Wu Tun Town in Jiang Ji to meet up with Qi Zheng, Molin, Chen Li, and Chen Ping who were stationed there.
The water soldiers who were involved in the defense of the town had already been brought back to Wen Shui by Yang Rui when they contacted Xiaohui at Water Origin Village!
When Yang Rui and the rest arrived at Wu Tun Town in Jiang Ji, there was also a group of Yellow Turban Army soldiers attacking and harassing the town! Yang Rui and the rest didn't say anything. They charged forward and killed more than a thousand people. The rest of the Yellow Turban Army soldiers fled in panic!
Yang Rui finally understood. After the Yellow Turban Army retreated from Ju Ping, they had made up their mind to scatter everywhere! The shadows of the Yellow Turban Army could be seen everywhere in the county. He didn't know what the Yellow Turban Army was planning and why they gave up their advantage in numbers and chose to attack from all sides!
For example, on the way from Mountain Town to Jiangji's Wutun, Yang Rui could see the confrontation between the Yellow Turban Army and the Han Ting Army in almost every village or town he passed by. Most of the battles were in a stalemate! Even if the Yellow Turban Army still had the upper hand, they were no longer as unstoppable as before!
Actually. The Yellow Turban Army leader of Ju Ping County, Yang Lai, had two reasons for making such arrangements! First, the Yellow Turban Army's food supply had a problem. Although the advantage of moving in a large group was obvious, their gains were not enough to cover their losses. Thus, they could only start from a small area and let small groups of Yellow Turban Army pillage the villages!
Secondly, Yang Lai's trusted military advisor, Botao, had suffered heavy injuries and needed to rest for a period of time. This made it difficult for Yang Lai to organize a large-scale operation in the short term. While the small-scale Yellow Turban operation was able to harvest as much supplies as possible, it could also buy time for Yang Lai to adjust!
That was why the current situation had occurred! Yang Lai's idea was good. However, from the moment he retreated from Juping City, it was already very difficult for him to organize an effective large-scale attack! The Yellow Turban Uprising in Juping County had entered a strategic stalemate much earlier than most of the other counties before the Han Ting could really react to it. If there was no external intervention, this stalemate would last for a long time …
"My lord!"
After Yang Rui and his men defeated the Yellow Turbans outside Wutun Town, Qi Zheng, Mo Lin, Chen Li, Chen Ping, and the others welcomed Yang Rui into the town.
Molin, Chen Li, Chen Ping, and the others were all soldiers on the path of advancement. Before they reached Grade 8, they would not be able to cultivate internal energy. He was going to take the general advancement route. Otherwise, Yang Rui could have used his achievement points to exchange for a batch of skill books and quickly turned them into a batch of beginner generals!
As the saying went, 'It's easy to get a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a general'! Actually, there were also advantages to being a general who took the soldier advancement route. It was just that Yang Rui could not understand it at the moment.
"Did anything happen in the past few days?"
Yang Rui asked after everyone sat down.
"I have something to report to my lord. Due to the Yellow Turbans' rampage, a large number of disaster victims have emerged. Now, the number of disaster victims in Wutun Town has exceeded three thousand. Moreover, the number is increasing by a thousand every day … "
Qi Zheng was the first to speak. However, he was interrupted by Yang Rui before he could finish.
"That's a good thing!"
Currently, most of the players' territories were stuck at the Advanced Village level and could not level up. The number of villagers had reached the upper limit. They could no longer gather refugees and disaster victims. Only Yang Rui had two towns. There was still a large shortfall in the number of people in the territory, so when the food reserves were sufficient. Yang Rui was not afraid of a large number of disaster victims. He was only afraid of a small number of disaster victims!
"My lord, although these disaster victims have lost their homes, most of them have feelings for their original place of residence. Most of them are unwilling to change their previous place of residence. There are very few people who are willing to be registered in our Great Mountain Town!"
Qi Zheng added helplessly.
"Oh? There's such a thing? "
Yang Rui had never encountered such a situation before, nor had he expected it.
"Indeed! If these disaster victims do not register under my lord's name, they will not be able to participate in the work. Therefore, most of these disaster victims are temporarily living in Wutun Town as beggars. After the storm calms down, they should quickly return to their original place of residence … "
"In the end, it's just their mouths! My lord, why don't you expel these gluttonous and lazy things earlier so that you don't waste food! "
Qi Zheng had just explained the general situation when Tian Bao, who usually did not interrupt, spoke up at this time. He had a decisive personality. His attitude was very clear. If they could not be used by him, they should be left to their own devices!
Before Tian Bao was subdued by Yang Rui, he was the person in charge of Wutun Town. Although his words were a little decisive, his logic was not wrong. Even for a Lord player like Yang Rui who had been stocking up on food for a long time, with the growth of the population in Great Mountain Town and the severe reduction in food production, he dared not say that he had abundant food! If these disaster victims only came over with their mouths and did nothing else, they would sooner or later eat up Yang Rui's food!
"Why don't we force them to register? If they don't agree, we can just drive them away …"
Seeing that the few of them did not have any particularly effective ideas, Tian Bao could not help but continue.
"Tian Bao is right. We can use it as a reference! However, there's no need to drive them away. How about this, if the disaster victims are willing to register, they can stay in Wutun Town. If they don't want to register, they can all be moved to the thatched hut area outside the Black Dragon Pond in Great Mountain Town. Allow them to fish in the Black Dragon Pond and give them the right to cultivate crops … "
Yang Rui was not a hesitant person. He also believed that he had provided the greatest living space for these disaster victims. If the disaster victims were still unable to survive after this, then it would be their own problem!
"Yes!" Everyone could also feel Yang Rui's intentions and agreed.
After arranging the matters of the disaster victims, Yang Rui began to deal with the Yellow Turbans with all his might. Due to the return of Tian Bao, Sun Bao, and the rest of the soldiers, Wutun Town in Jiangji had once again become a strong stronghold against the Yellow Turbans. During the day, Qi Zheng, Tian Bao, and Sun Bao all went out to wipe out the small forces of the Yellow Turbans. Yang Rui, on the other hand, specialized in operating at night, leading over forty Fifth Grade bandit leaders to raid camps.
In just a few days, all the Yellow Turbans within fifty kilometers of Wutun Town in Jiangji had been wiped out by Yang Rui. Yang Rui's achievement and credit points had once again increased by nearly twenty thousand points, three to four hundred gold coins, and a large pile of miscellaneous items!
At the same time, Yang Rui went back and forth between Great Mountain Town and Juping City several times. He had also cleaned up most of the Yellow Turbans around the official road. The trade between Great Mountain Town and A pint of incense had once again begun under the protection of the soldiers.
Following this, Yang Rui set his sights on Gaoqiao Town. Gaoqiao Town was originally the closest stronghold to Wutun Town in Jiangji among all of Yang Rui's strongholds. Since the outbreak of the Yellow Turbans' uprising plot, Gaoqiao Town had always been under the control of the Yellow Turbans. The two Fifth Grade bandit leaders who were sent to investigate the situation had died in Gaoqiao Town!
According to the bandit leader who had escaped, Gaoqiao Town was guarded by a beginner Yellow Turbans general. The two bandit leaders had died in the hands of this beginner general!
Before the official operation, Yang Rui had already brought the Fifth Grade bandit leaders to Gaoqiao Town several times. However, the Yellow Turbans would shut the town's gates at night. Yang Rui and the bandit leaders had a hard time finding an opportunity to strike!
Therefore, Yang Rui had no choice but to bring the two beginner generals, Qi Zheng and Tian Bao, along with two hundred Third Grade melee warriors, forty-two Fifth Grade bandit leaders, twenty-four Fourth Grade archers, and one hundred Third Grade archers to Gaoqiao Town! Sun Bao had been left behind by Yang Rui to defend Wutun Town in Jiangji. With the strength of Qi Zheng and Tian Bao, along with Yang Rui himself, it was likely that no beginner generals would be their match!
Gaoqiao Town was originally an important trade hub in the southeast of Juping City. Therefore, the town's scale was much larger than Wutun Town in Jiangji. Originally, the four gates were unobstructed, the roads were well-developed, and the terrain was flat. Advancing from the front did not require much effort. Yang Rui and the rest fought their way to the north gate of Gaoqiao Town before they were blocked by the city gate!
"Close the gate! Close the gate! The soldiers of Han Ting's camp have caught up! "
"Clang clang clang …"
When Yang Rui and the rest arrived, the Yellow Turban Soldiers hurriedly closed the north gate of Gaoqiao Town. With the skills of Yang Rui and the rest, it was not too difficult for them to follow and kill their way in! However, Yang Rui did not know the exact situation of Gaoqiao Town, so he did not enter rashly.
"Yellow Turban Bastard! Does anyone dare to come out and fight with your grandfather?! "
Standing a stone's throw away from the north gate of Gaoqiao Town, Yang Rui sent Tian Bao forward to challenge them. At the end of the Han Dynasty, one-on-one duels were still very popular. However, since the start of the game, Yang Rui had only used Qi Zheng to duel once or twice. One of those times was when he captured Zhang Tian.
Hearing Tian Bao's shout, the Yellow Turban Soldiers on the city wall and outside the gate immediately exploded. They were very unconvinced, but no one dared to come out and fight with Tian Bao!
"Yellow Turban Bastard! As expected, all of you have no guts! I knew that there was no one in Yellow Turban! Today's test is indeed so! They are all cowards! Hahahaha … "
Tian Bao cursed and laughed outside the north gate, causing the soldiers in Gaoqiao Town to roar angrily. However, no one dared to accept the challenge!
"Bastard! Bastard! Coward! Coward! "
The soldiers behind Yang Rui echoed Tian Bao and shouted. The Yellow Turban Soldiers in the town were so angry that their faces turned green!
"Which brat dares to be so rash!? Quickly behead him! Ha! "
