Chapter 49 The First Show of the Yellow Turban

"Pass my order. From now on, Liaodong will enter the highest state of combat readiness. All the main generals will be divided into three groups, and they will be on duty 12 hours a day to ensure that any disturbances at any time can be dealt with in a timely manner."

"In addition, all the barracks have begun to recruit and train soldiers with all their strength, and I will prepare corresponding funds. Remember! The premise of expanding the army is that the quality of soldiers cannot be reduced. Make sure that every soldier meets the corresponding level standard!"

"Decree that in the entire Liaodong area, any Taiping Dao believers, whether they are aliens or aboriginals, will be killed immediately!"

"Hongzhu, send an order immediately to cancel the one-month tax in the entire county, win the hearts of the people as soon as possible, and ensure that the people will not be bewitched by the Taiping Sect monster!"

Shang Ji issued four orders in a row.

"Subordinates obey!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

"Okay, everyone, remember that the Taipingdao chaos is not only a catastrophe for us, but also an opportunity. I hope everyone will work together to ensure the peace and stability of Liaodong!" Shang Ji looked around. Seeing the solemn expressions of the people, he couldn't help but comfort him .

"Subordinates would like to follow the teachings of the lord!"

"Go ahead, raise the ring..."

"Ok"

Shang Ji was talking, but suddenly stopped, and then his face quickly turned ugly.

"Ding, the system prompts: Player Shangji, because the middle-level city Xin'an City under your rule was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, as a senior official of the Han faction with the responsibility of defending the land and defending against the enemy, 2 million points of merit will be deducted from you. Currently, your merit value is - 1835543, please send troops to conquer the lost land as soon as possible. The long-term negative merit value may lead to the reduction or revocation of the official position!"

A sudden system prompt stunned Shang Ji. It is not surprising that there are Yellow Turbans in Liaodong, and it is not surprising that some cities have been captured, but this speed is too fast!

This is a mid-level city, and it was less than half an hour before Zhang Jiao officially rebelled, and in the end, a mid-level city fell! Could it be that Zhang Jiao came to Liaodong himself?

"Who is the defender of Xin'an City?"

With a gloomy face, Shang Ji asked Liu Yi directly.

"Zhang Ping, Zhang Yongzi, what's the matter, what happened to Xin'an?" Although he didn't understand why Shang Ji suddenly asked about Xin'an at this time,

But Liu Yi still gave the answer immediately.

"Xin'an was captured by the Yellow Turban Army!"

As soon as Shang Ji said this, everyone was shocked at first, and then showed expressions of disbelief.

Most of you here know Zhang Ping, the former general of the Heijia Army, who was later assigned to Xin'an as a county lieutenant. His abilities are not outstanding, but his personality is calm and meticulous, and he rarely makes any mistakes. Relying on the defenders of Xin'an City after the training and the strength of the city wall, it is impossible to capture the city in such a short period of time even if the 100,000 Yellow Turbans besiege it!

"Could it be that something happened in the city?" Tai Shici guessed with a solemn face.

Hearing what Tai Shici said, everyone nodded their heads in agreement. If you want to capture a mid-level city in such a short period of time, the biggest possibility is that something went wrong inside the city.

"Report! Emergency military situation in Xin'an City!"

Just when everyone almost agreed that it was an internal problem that led to the rapid fall of Xin'an, a sound of communication accompanied by panting came to everyone's eardrums.

"Fast forward!"

Shang Ji quickly stood up, only to see a small official walking in in a panic, and said loudly as he walked: "My lord, there is news from Xin'an City that the Taiping Road in the city is in chaos, bewitched by the Taiping Sect and the demon way, Xin'an Most of the guards in Ancheng turned their backs, Zhang Ping, the guard of Xin'an, died in battle, and Mao Sheng, the commander of Xin'an, was captured by the Yellow Turban Army. Xin'an City is in danger, my lord, please send troops to rescue immediately!"

Although the speed of news delivery of the Shangji Army was astonishingly fast compared to ordinary troops, but this time it was a mess, and the message for help came only after Xin'an City was captured.

"Do you know the specifics of the situation? Why did the Xin'an Guards turn their backs on a large scale to bewitch the monsters who made chaos? What's the name? Who has changed the Yellow Turban Army after occupying Xin'an City?"

Shang Ji asked several questions in a row.

"Forgive me, my lord. The news from Xin'an was very sloppy, without any details." The official in charge of delivering the news bowed his head and replied.

"Okay, I see, you go down, and if you have any new news, report to me immediately!" Shang Ji waved his hand and sent the little official away.

Although there are more advanced communication stones, due to the limited output, the current communication in Liaodong mainly relies on old-fashioned communication symbols.

Not all of the ten big cities are equipped with communication stones, let alone a mid-level city like Xin'an, which is not in a prominent strategic position.

In this way, it is understandable that the news is slightly delayed.

However, Shang Ji also analyzed some important things from this simple communication.

For example, the key to the rapid fall of Xin'an City-the instigation of the Taiping Sect and the Demon Dao.

If it weren't for a large number of guards who turned against each other, it would be impossible for Taipingdao to take Xin'an City so quickly.

Now, it is very important to understand the mechanism of this defection, otherwise sending troops recklessly to conquer is probably sending troops to others.

Shang Ji thought for a while, and ordered decisively: "Brother, Huchen, you are temporarily responsible for staying in Xiangping City to prevent accidents. Ziyi, you and I will lead the army to Xin'an!"

The rebellion in Xin'an must be suppressed as soon as possible, not to mention whether it will lead to the reduction of official positions. Just without this influence, since the Yellow Turban Army dared to take the initiative to provoke him, of course Shang Ji would not be polite. It must be suppressed quickly with a thunderbolt, and it must be ensured that the rebellion will not spread.

As for why he went in person, it was because he was afraid of the strange method of the Taiping Sect's demon way that could make soldiers defect on a large scale.

The Black Armored Xuanqi has the characteristic of loyalty. Under the premise that Shang Ji personally leads, as long as he himself does not die or escape, the soldiers are immune to any surrender skills.

As for bringing Tai Shi Ci, it is natural to be on the safe side, as a backup. After all, no one has any real combat experience with the Yellow Turban Army, and it coincides with the fate of the Yellow Turban camp. If they act recklessly and are accidentally killed, they will cry.

Tai Shici, as the number one combat force of the Shang Ji army, naturally shouldered the heavy responsibility of Shang Ji's bodyguard.

Tai Shici, Liu Yi and others didn't write anything after hearing the words. Although it would be a bit of a fuss for Labor Shangji to do it himself, it is the safest way at present.

As for Shang Ji's safety issue, no one had much to say.

Although everyone was taken aback by the sudden fall of Xin'an City, no one expressed concern about the overall situation in Liaodong. Perhaps the methods of the Yellow Turban Army may be a little weird, but the Shangji Army has an absolute advantage in terms of overall strength.

If the Yellow Turban Taoist Priest who could confuse the army into rebellion was really that powerful, he wouldn't have chosen a mere mid-level city like Xin'an as his target.

Not to mention a huge city like Xiangping, it would be enough to hurt a merchant to capture a big city at will.
