Chapter 13 Blood Guard Fu Zhu

“I am Fu Zhun from Yiyang. I was entrusted by the governor to escort a batch of grain and grass to Wancheng. The governor has received intelligence that Zhang Mancheng, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang, is about to attack Wancheng. The governor is worried that if the Yellow Turbans besiege the city for a long time, Wancheng will run out of grain and grass, so he ordered people to deliver grain and grass in batches in advance.”

The Han army general endured the pain from the herbal medicine applied to his wounds by the doctor, veins bulging on his forehead, while calmly answering Li Qian’s questions.

Fu Zhun, Fu Zhun…

Why does Li Qian seem to have seen this name somewhere?
Wait, Fu Rong was a famous general in the Three Kingdoms period!

Li Qian remembered.

In the intercalary sixth month of 222 AD, Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Xun at Yiling. He retreated to Ma’anshan, surrounded the mountain and defended himself, but was defeated by Lu Xun again. At night, Liu Bei broke through the siege, and Fu Rong led his troops to fight hard and resisted until the last soldier. The general of Wu ordered Fu Rong to surrender, but Fu Rong cursed: “Wu dog! How can a Han general surrender!” In the end, Fu Rong chose to die in battle.

This is a brave and courageous general. Once he pledges his loyalty, he will sacrifice his life to help his lord break through the siege and will never surrender.

If we can recruit Fu Rong, it would be like having a blood guard.

Judging from Fu Rong’s answer, he did not actually serve as an official, but was only entrusted by the Governor of Jingzhou to help transport food and fodder.

Liu Biao has not yet entered Jingzhou alone, and the current governor of Jingzhou is Xu Qiao.

Li Qian has the opportunity to poach people.

This means that dozens of doctors in the Han army will also go to Wancheng to help the Han army in Wancheng defend the city.

“When the Yellow Turbans see that there are no cavalry chasing them, they will probably come to their senses soon. Most of your soldiers were killed or wounded, and you can no longer transport food and fodder. It is better for you to rest in my village for the time being, avoid the Yellow Turbans, and then make plans.”

Li Qian decided to trick Fu Zhuo into Tiance Village first.

Li Qian used the strategy of confusing an enemy to save Fu Zhuo. The aura of “Holy Lord of Heaven’s Mandate” worked again. Fu Zhuo glanced at the wounded Han soldiers. In their current state, they really couldn’t transport the food and grass to Wancheng smoothly. “Thank you very much.”

Li Qian’s infantry arrived later and helped Fu Rong transport food and fodder to Tiance Village.

Fu Rong’s Han army originally had a thousand people, but after a fierce battle, only about a hundred people were left, including 400 local militiamen.

In addition, the Han army had 200 relatively complete grain carts, more than 200 pack horses, and 50 war horses.

The equipment left behind by the fallen Han and Yellow Turban troops was considerable in quantity, enough to equip a thousand men.

Li Qian ordered them all to be taken away.

As expected, the Yellow Turban Army returned, but Li Qian and Fu Rong had already withdrawn, leaving behind only some burned grain carts.

Li Qian let Fu Rong and the Han soldiers recuperate in Tiance Village, and then he continued to lead his troops to plunder the people of other villages.

With Fu Zhun and more than a hundred Han soldiers staying in the village, Li Qian did not have to worry about other lords stealing his house and could lead more troops to the battle.

This encounter with tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops made Li Qian realize that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was imminent and that he needed to upgrade his territory to a large village as soon as possible, recruit more soldiers and horses, and better resist the invasion of the Yellow Turban Army.

The population of Tiance Village has reached 6000. With the entry of Fu Rong’s Han army and militia, the population has reached 6500. Li Qian only needs to grab another 1500 people to meet the population requirements for upgrading to a large village.

Li Qian attacked and destroyed a medium-sized village and a small village to the north, and plundered more than a thousand people.

The appearance of such a village-destroying maniac in Xinye County naturally caused quite a stir in the forum.

According to statistics, nearly 20 villages were destroyed by Tiance Village!
Tiance Village began to gain some fame among the player community.

“My lord, the primary tea garden and primary posthouse have been built. Five hundred acres of fertile land were reclaimed yesterday. Due to the rapid increase in population, food is a little tight. If the food and fodder of the more than 200 grain carts parked in our Tiance Village can be used by our Tiance Village, there will be more than enough food.” Zhao Xiancai reported to Li Qian on the construction of the village.

“This matter will be discussed later.”

Li Qian also had the idea of ​​taking this batch of grain, but in order to recruit Fu Rong, he could not lose the big picture for the small one.

It’s finally time to upgrade the village.

“Ding, Tiance Village is upgraded to a large village, the wooden fence is reinforced, six additional arrow towers are awarded, and all thatched houses are upgraded to wooden houses.”

The wooden house where Li Qian lived flashed with white light and became more exquisite. There was also an extra layer of fence outside, forming a courtyard.

With a loud noise like an earthquake, the territory of Tiance Village expanded again. The fence outside the village became taller and thicker. The thatched houses in the village disappeared and were automatically upgraded to wooden houses. Tiance Village was square and divided into four village entrances in the east, south, west and north. Each village entrance had two wooden arrow towers, and it began to take shape as a town.

“Ding, your village has been upgraded to a large village. You have completed the C-level achievement mission ‘Moving Towards a Town’. Your reputation has increased by 500. You have obtained six random blueprints and 20 special soldiers as rewards.”

“Ding, you have obtained the blueprints of brick and wood dwellings, intermediate logging yard, intermediate quarry, primary tea shop, wooden arrow tower, and intermediate cavalry camp.”

“Ding, the special troops that your territory can recruit are the Black Armor Army and the Inner Army Cavalry. You will be randomly rewarded with 20 special troops… Ding, you get 20 Black Armor Army.”

“The Black Armor Army is on the way.”

what? !

Upgrading a large village actually rewards you with 20 special soldiers?
Li Qian unexpectedly obtained 20 Black Armor Soldiers and was overjoyed.

The recruitment cost of the Black Armor Army is extremely high, and it is simply impossible to recruit the Black Armor Army in the village stage.

The combat effectiveness of twenty Black Armored Soldiers is stronger than that of two hundred light infantrymen!

The Yellow Turban Rebellion is imminent, and a small team of Black Armored Army will play a huge role

The territory panel of Tiance Village has also changed.

……

“My lord, something terrible has happened. A group of armored cavalrymen has arrived outside the village. There are a total of twenty of them!”

Zhang Dahu hurried to find Li Qian. The heavy cavalry brought a huge shock to him who came from a bandit family.

Li Qian couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth. Finally, the Black Armor Army he had been thinking about arrived.
