Chapter 79: Sound of National War (Second Update)

"You have made great contributions in retaking Wancheng and suppressing the Yellow Turbans. I have recommended you to be the lieutenant of Xinye. As for the final decision, it depends on the court's opinion."

Xu Qiu was about to lead his troops back to Xiangyang. Before leaving, he informed Li Qian that he had submitted a memorial to the court.

Cai Zhong and Cai He also came to say goodbye: "Brother, if you have time, you can come to Xiangyang, and we will definitely host a banquet for you."

"Definitely next time."

Li Qian had already assembled his troops and set off back to Tiance Town.

On the way, Li Qian browsed the game forum, where two major events were being discussed.

One major event was that Lu Zhi refused to bribe Zuo Feng, a eunuch, who slandered him to Emperor Ling of Han after returning to Luoyang, leading to Lu Zhi's dismissal. The court appointed Dong Zhuo as the General of the Eastern Army to replace Lu Zhi in dealing with the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou.

Li Qian can already see the ending.

Dong Zhuo's ability to lead troops is not as good as Lu Zhi's. This time when he goes to Jizhou, he will most likely be beaten up by Zhang Jue.

The Jizhou Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jue, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang was the most elite among all the Yellow Turban Armies. Even Huangfu Song would suffer losses, let alone Dong Zhuo.

Lu Zhi advanced step by step, won battle after battle, and forced Zhang Jue to retreat to Guangzong City.

Lu Zhi was preparing siege equipment and replacing his generals before the battle. Zhang Jue might take the opportunity to counterattack.

Judging from the fact that Lu Zhi suppressed Zhang Jue, Lu Zhi was most likely a talented commander.

However, Lu Zhi died of illness before he had any chance to show his talents.

"Dong Zhuo is now the commander of the Han army in Jizhou. If we go to Jizhou now, we will just be sending our heads to Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army. It is better to wait until Huangfu Song replaces Dong Zhuo before going to Jizhou."

After pacifying the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Nanyang, Li Qian analyzed the pros and cons and decided not to go to Jizhou for the time being.

Another major event concerns the national war.

National wars are collisions between different civilizations, such as the Crusades, the Hundred Years' War between England and France, and so on.

It is rumored in the forum that the national war will take place during the gap between the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, and will be related to historical events.

China has had conflicts with other surrounding civilizations, and it is not known which civilization China will draw as its opponent in the national war.
Dayuan? Annan? Goryeo? Dongying? Luzon?

No matter which civilization we encounter, with the number of players in the Chinese region, won’t we be able to crush them?
Li Qian saw a player's analysis that the national war might limit the number of participants in each camp, and small civilizations might even receive benefits. Otherwise, those small civilizations would have no chance of winning at all, and there was a high possibility of an embarrassing situation where no one signed up.

"It makes sense."

Li Qian secretly paid attention to the game name of the player who did the analysis - "Three Kingdoms Know-it-all".

The Chinese players in the forum are discussing which civilization's players they will fight in the national war. Of course, the opponent they most want to meet is Xiao Rizi.

It is said that the four islands of Japan are now in the Warring States Period, but it is also possible to recruit people from the Yamatai Kingdom, Kofun Period, Asuka Period, Nara Period, Heian Period, Taira Period, and Shogunate Period.

"It would be interesting if we met Japanese players. If either side loses, the whole country would be shocked."

Li Qian is looking forward to the national war.

His idea was simple and plain, just like other players' expectations. It would be best if he could face Japan and give them a good lesson.

Li Qian led his troops back to Tiance Town. Deng Zhi, Sang Hongyang, Chen Qingzhi and others went out of the city to welcome them. When Sang Hongyang saw more than 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, his eyes lit up.

There are more than 10,000 young and strong people here.

If used properly, it can bring a large amount of financial income to the territory.

"Bo Miao, has anything happened in the town during this period?"

"Something happened."

"whats the matter?"

Li Qian was shocked.

Could it be that another Southern Tyrant has appeared in Xinye County, attempting to lead his troops to steal the country?
Deng Zhi said: "There have been frequent wars in Nanyang County, with corpses everywhere. In addition, the weather is getting hotter and epidemics are spreading. There is already a village that has been hit by the plague. I am worried that the plague will spread to the town, so I have ordered the village to be sealed off."

"Plague..." Li Qian was suddenly worried.

Tiance Town is awarded the title of "No. 50 Town in the World" and gains the following effects: immunity to natural disasters, probability of a good grain harvest +100%, attraction of refugees +%, and the effect lasts for three years.

I wonder if the plague is considered a natural disaster?

Or is it that the plague that broke out during the war between the Han army and the Yellow Turban army, with corpses everywhere, can be considered a man-made disaster?
Even if Tiance Town is immune to the plague, Wangba Town and other villages occupied by Li Qian are not immune to natural disasters. Once a plague breaks out, only one in ten people may survive.

"Does Bo Miao have any countermeasures?"

"If a plague breaks out in the village, I'm afraid we will be helpless and can only sit and wait for death... But that's not entirely true. I know there is a miracle doctor in Nanyang. If we can invite him to come out, we may be able to reduce the impact of the plague on our Xinye County."

Deng Zhi suddenly thought of someone.

His words also caught Li Qian's attention.

Miracle doctor?

The most famous doctor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was of course Hua Tuo, who scraped the bone to treat Guan Yu's injury and performed a craniotomy on Cao Cao.

In addition to Hua Tuo, there were other great doctors in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, including the great doctor from Nanyang...

Li Qian asked tentatively: "Could it be Zhang Zhongjing?"

Deng Zhi was surprised: "My Lord, do you also know Zhang Zhongjing?"

"Have heard a little bit."

Li Qian muttered to himself, who hasn't heard of Zhang Zhongjing, the author of the masterpiece "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" who was revered as the "Medical Saint" by later generations?

Perhaps the information that later generations know less about is that Zhang Zhongjing was from Nanyang County.

Wait a minute.

Could it be that Zhang Zhongjing is also someone who can be recruited?

Li Qian couldn't help but get excited.

He suppressed his excitement and asked Deng Zhi tentatively, "I wonder if Bo Miao can recommend this person to me?"

Deng Zhi shook his head: "I have only heard of him, we are not close friends. For such a remarkable person, we need to take the initiative to visit him in order to show our respect."

"It makes sense."

Li Qian thought about it and realized that Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing were both extraordinary men. It would be difficult to invite such extraordinary men.

Liu Bei had to visit Zhuge Liang three times to invite him out of seclusion.

Fortunately, Nieyang County, where Zhang Zhongjing was located, was not far from Xinye. Li Qian could lead a team of cavalry to Nieyang County to visit Zhang Zhongjing. The round trip would only take a few days.

Li Qian returned to Tiance Town and immediately posted a notice on the town's bulletin board, offering a reward for the Mo Dao blueprint.

Li Qian did not forget to recruit the Tang Dynasty's Modao Team.

The prerequisite is to have the ability to produce Mo Dao.

Tiance Town was supplemented with more than 10,000 Yellow Turban Army soldiers, plus the refugees taken in by Tiance Town during this period, the population of Tiance Town reached more than 70,000 people, and it became increasingly prosperous.

The number of players entering Tiance Town is increasing, and some players are accepting tasks issued by Tiance Town.

Territory construction requires a variety of resources. With the help of the power of the player group, territory construction can be accelerated.

These players are equivalent to working for Li Qian in the game.

Li Qian redeployed and arranged enough buildings to upgrade a medium-sized town.

After a few days, everything was arranged. Li Qianqing selected a cavalry, including three generals, Qin Qiong, Li Xiuning and Li Siye, about two hundred cavalrymen, and went to Nieyang County to visit Zhang Zhongjing.
