Chapter 4: Different Stages of Military Commanders

“Ding, the player ‘Shengzuoyishusheng’ became the first lord to defeat the Yellow Turban Army with a scale of hundreds, and was awarded a third-rate recruitment order. Lord players are requested to follow his example and unlock more lord achievements.”

In the Huaxia region, a system announcement sounded, and all the players were in an uproar.

How long has it been? There are players who can defeat hundreds of Yellow Turbans!
In the early stages, some villages tried to avoid the Yellow Turban Army, let alone take the initiative to attack.

In Youzhou, a player with broad shoulders, a big waist and a bulging belly was riding a warhorse, holding a lance in his hand, leading a dozen cavalrymen and a group of militiamen, and was fighting a bloody battle with a group of Youzhou Yellow Turban Army.

Relying on the advantage of cavalry, the players gradually gained the upper hand.

When he heard the system announcement from the Huaxia region, he felt like he was poured with a bucket of cold water, and he looked up to the sky and shouted: “No!!!”

He got the character template of An Lushan.

An Lushan was the initiator of the An-Shi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. Although he was notorious, he was brave and knew six languages. According to the “Old Book of Tang”, An Lushan’s military orders were strict, and his soldiers swore to fight to the death, and each of them was worth a hundred. Therefore, An Lushan’s template is not bad, at least the force bonus he brings is not low, and his characteristics can also attract nomadic tribes.

The dozen or so cavalrymen under his command were all Xianbei cavalrymen who had voluntarily come to join him.

Relying on these dozen or so cavalrymen, he mobilized all the village warriors to assist on the left and right wings, and personally led the cavalry in a frontal assault. He was about to defeat the Yellow Turban Army and accomplish this feat, but was beaten to the punch by Li Qian.

He angrily provoked the Yellow Turban leader with his horse lance: “Better than a scholar? I remember that.”

In Huainan, a player lord led the village militia to destroy the earth dam, causing floods to submerge the Yellow Turban Army camped in the low-lying terrain, resulting in a great victory.

However, he was not as satisfied as he had imagined.

Someone else completed the achievement first. Without the recruitment order, we can only plunder the supplies of the Yellow Turban Army.

In Guanzhong, a player lord received a system prompt and smiled helplessly: “Although the template of the king, prince, general and minister I obtained is amazing, I don’t have enough troops to use it, so I can’t win against others in the end.”

His village is still recruiting soldiers.

In Liangzhou, inside a valley, fallen rocks blocked the entrance to the valley. A raging fire and billowing black smoke were heard, and the Yellow Turban Army was wailing.

The female player standing on the top of the mountain, with the firelight reflected in her clear eyes, sighed softly: “I didn’t expect that this ‘Sheng Zuo Yi Shusheng’ would get there first. Man proposes, God disposes.”

……

China has a vast territory and a large number of player lords. Various means emerge one after another, such as strong attack, surprise attack, fire attack, and water attack. However, this is the only achievement. Only the first person will get the reward. Everyone else will fall behind and remember the name of the game “Katsuzuka Shusheng”.

At this time, Li Qian had already returned triumphantly.

After counting the results of the battle, Tiance Village lost 2 sword and shield soldiers, 4 spear soldiers, and 4 militiamen, killed 58 Yellow Turban soldiers, and captured 50 Yellow Turban soldiers.

It was a time of turmoil, and the villagers of Tiance Village had seen many lives and deaths. The loss of Tiance Village did not cause too much turmoil, and the public sentiment dropped by 3 points, which was still within the acceptable range for Li Qian.

As long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, public sentiment will gradually recover.

After returning to the village, the recruited sword and shield soldiers and spearmen returned to their fields.

Li Qian selected the 50 highest-ranking soldiers from the 30 Yellow Turban soldiers as the standing army, and the other people also returned to the fields to reclaim wasteland.

There are wastelands all around Tiance Village. If they were all reclaimed into farmland, it would not be difficult to feed tens of thousands of people.

Because of this battle, Li Qian’s level increased from level 5 to level 7, and he gained 1 command point and 1 charm point.

Li Qian arranged some craftsmen to build primary taverns, primary blacksmith shops, primary clinics and other buildings to improve the prosperity of the village as soon as possible.

The more prosperous the village is, the more attractive it is to refugees and people from other nearby villages.

Yes, the population of a village will also move. If the people’s morale is too low, there may even be a collective defection or a peasant uprising.

After incorporating the Yellow Turban Army and releasing the women abducted by them, the population of Tiance Village increased to 400 people. The village began to take shape, with smoke rising from cooking fires and a sense of homeliness.

Li Qian opened the [Achievements] panel, and the achievement task “First Battle against the Yellow Turbans” had turned gold and was in the state of waiting to receive the reward.

Li Qian receives the reward.

“Ding, you defeated a Yellow Turban army of a hundred people, completed the C-level achievement task ‘First Battle with the Yellow Turbans’, reputation +300, and obtained a third-rate recruitment order.”

Li Qian obtained the “Recruitment Order”, one of the most important props in “Global Warring States”.

Li Qian was still a little excited.

It is said that a third-rate recruitment order has a chance of recruiting second-rate or even first-rate generals.

What if.

Li Qian discovered that the Recruitment Order also had an introduction to the items and actually displayed the probability.

【Name】：Third-rate Recruitment Order

[Type]: Consumables
[Effect]: After use, there is a 99% chance of recruiting third-rate civil officials and military generals, a 0.99% chance of recruiting second-rate civil officials and military generals, and a 0.01% chance of recruiting first-rate civil officials and military generals.

“…”

Li Qian was sweating profusely.

0.99%, 0.01%… The Goose Company that developed “Global Warring States” is really conscientious.

“Old horse, old horse.”

Li Qian raised his middle finger above his head.

It seems that a third-rate recruitment order can only recruit third-rate generals.

“Ding, you used the third-rate talent recruitment order, and we are randomly recruiting talents for you… The talent you recruited is the second-rate general Cheng Yaojin [Wagangzhai].”

“Cheng Yaojin is on his way.”

When the recruitment results came out, Li Qian, who had originally accepted his fate, was delighted. He actually triggered a 0.99% probability and recruited Cheng Yaojin!
According to some information released by the official, “Global Warring States” has a unique setting. Civil officials and military generals are divided into different stages, and different abilities will be unlocked in each stage.

For example, Guan Yu is divided into several stages: [Horse Archer], [Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu], [Marquis of Han Shou Ting], and [Terrifying China], and his abilities will change differently.

The story of Lu Meng can be divided into three stages: [Amon of Wu], [Three Days of Separation], and [Crossing the River in White Clothes].

Such a setting can better reflect the growth process of generals and also encourage players to pay more attention to the training of generals.

The Cheng Yaojin recruited by Li Qian is divided into three stages, [Wagangzhai], [Xuanjia Army], and [Lingyan Pavilion], corresponding to levels 50, 80, and 100.

The newly recruited Cheng Yaojin is still at the [Wagangzhai] stage, wielding three axes. Once he reaches level 80, Cheng Yaojin will be able to grow into a general of the Black Armor Army.

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, established the Black Armor Army, with four generals, Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde and Zhai Changsun, leading them respectively. Li Shimin then personally put on armor and took command as the vanguard, unstoppable and crushing the enemy with all his might.

Cheng Zhijie’s original name was Cheng Yaojin. He surrendered to Li Mi of Wagangzhai and later changed his name to Li Yuan. His identity as a general of the Xuanjia Army is little known.

Just after a cup of tea, a burly man, holding an eight-diagram Xuanhua mountain-splitting axe, joined Tiance Village and said, “I, Cheng Yaojin, pay my respects to my lord.”
