Chapter 74: Limited Manpower
The two armies of heroic spirits collided and immediately started fighting!
When they were alive, these Yellow Turbans were no match for the Han army, let alone now!
These Han troops are big men, blessed by the heavenly destiny. They are majestic and bright.
But the Yellow Turban Heroic Spirit is filled with resentment and unwillingness!
Even with just the slightest contact, the Yellow Turban Heroic Spirits were defeated. The combat power of both sides was even greater than before.
At this moment, a Taiping Taoist stepped out of the void. His body was covered with countless tentacle-like black energy. It seemed that his whole body had been controlled by these black energy tentacles. He gave a weird laugh and raised his hand.
As soon as the sword was touched on the neck, blood immediately spattered and fell from the air, turning into blood-colored flames and covering the bodies of the Yellow Turban Heroes.
The Yellow Turban Heroes, who were already retreating, were blessed by the bloody flames. Their strength suddenly increased greatly, and they could barely maintain their formation.
But the Taiping Taoist turned into a mummy as if his blood had been drained out in the blink of an eye. However, before it fell in the air, it was already broken into ashes!
Zheng Xiaoming looked at it calmly: "How long can a mere Taoist sustain his life? Can he still compete with the power of heaven?"
Thinking like this, I saw Taoists step out from the void one after another, repeating what the first Taoist did, turning their blood into flames and blessing the Yellow Turban Heroic Spirits.
However, Zheng Xiaoming still just shook his head slightly: "The mantis is like a chariot! The manpower is limited, how can you people resist the power of the sky?"
The person facing these Taiping Taoists at this moment is no longer Zheng Xiaoming.
Zheng Xiaoming himself only acted as an introduction, channeling the power of heaven through his official position to kill these remnants of Huang Tian.
There was no need for him to do anything. Soon after the last Taiping Taoist died, those yellow scarf heroes could not change the situation of the war.
As the power blessed on them was exhausted, the Han army's heroic spirits still rolled past in a crushing manner, crushing all the Yellow Turban heroic spirits.
In an instant, another thunder flashed, and all the surrounding haze dissipated. In a blink of an eye, the wind was sunny, and the trees and grass were rustling in the breeze.
All the battle scenes just now disappeared, as if they had never happened.
Just now, most ordinary people could only see that dark clouds suddenly gathered around and a heavy fog arose.
Some soldiers who were born with stronger spiritual powers heard the shouts of killing and felt the claws on the battlefield.
Only Tai Shici saw most of it, and he was shocked beyond words.
However, he quickly suppressed these turbulent emotions in his heart, because as the dark clouds and fog dispersed, hundreds of Yellow Turban elites who were retreating in a panic were exposed in front of him.
Taishi Ci shouted: "Kill!"
He led his men on horseback and chased him.
The person riding the white horse is not necessarily Tang Monk, just like the person riding the white horse is not necessarily the infantry.
Just like the two hundred cavalry led by Tai Shici in pursuit are not real cavalry...cavalry is not that easy to train.
In fact, the infantry he led were mounted infantry. Zheng Xiaoming brought them out from the Shesheng Camp.
These guys are mounted crossbowmen!
They quickly caught up with them from behind, firing their crossbows like arrows like rain, and instantly killed dozens of Yellow Turban elites.
The remaining Yellow Turban elites fled even faster, and they didn't even have the courage to turn back and fight.
These are all die-hard fanatics selected from the Taiping Tao believers in Qingxu. They fanatically believe in Huang Tian and are not afraid of death.
However, the scene just now had completely shattered all the beliefs in their hearts. It made these fanatical believers as timid as rabbits. They would rather be shot from behind one by one than anyone dared to turn around and fight!
Tai Shici wanted to lead people to chase him again, but Zheng Xiaoming said lightly: "No need to chase!"
The calm voice reached Taishi Ci's ears several miles away, leaving him stunned.
But Taishi Ci was an unusual person after all, and he suddenly understood that, yes, it was better to keep these frightened Yellow Turban elites than to kill them.
It is far better to let them go back alive, spread the word about Zheng Xiaoming's power everywhere, and shake the morale of the Yellow Turbans than to kill them here!
At that moment, he ordered his troops to retreat and took his men back to report to Zheng Xiaoming.
Seeing this, Zheng Xiaoming smiled slightly: "This Taishi Ziyi seems to be a piece of rough jade!"
Although Tai Shici was initially introduced to Zheng Xiaoming by Mi Zhu, Zheng Xiaoming also appointed him as his subordinate.
However, I thought it was more about the horse bones of Qian Jinshi, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it.
But with more and more contact time, Zheng Xiaoming gradually discovered that this Taishi Ziyi was extraordinary, really brave and resourceful!
This time I followed Zheng Xiaoming to Luo, and after the experience, he gradually shined.
As for why Zheng Xiaoming brought Tai Shici to Beijing instead of his most trusted confidant Zheng Yun, or Yang Sheng, Zheng Lang, etc. who have been following him for a long time, this is of course because Zheng Xiaoming left Donghai but could not lose his old nest.
.
So he arranged for these people to take charge of Donghai County for him!
The rest of the journey will be peaceful and uneventful. At least Taiping Dao will no longer be able to send out, or rather dare not send out such a powerful team to assassinate Zheng Xiaoming.
This made Zheng Xiaoming go all the way back to Donghai County and declare Tan County, Donghai County as the seat of his Xuzhou Mu state.
As for the original governor of Xuzhou, Ba Zhi, he could only resign in despair. There are no two masters in the world, and since there is Zheng Xiaoming as the governor in a state, there is no need for another governor.
In the past two years, the relationship between Xuzhou Governor Ba Zhi and Zheng Xiaoming has not been very good. There have been several minor conflicts between the two parties.
There is nothing that can be done about this. When the powerful governor and the governor are together, there will always be conflicts.
Moreover, Zheng Xiaoming took Tai Shici in and appointed him as his subordinate governor, which angered Ba Zhi even more.
If he hadn't been concerned about Zheng Xiaoming's backstage and background, Naba would have been rude to Zheng Xiaoming long ago.
But now that Zheng Xiaoming has become Xuzhou Mu, he can only get out in despair.
The first thing Zheng Xiaoming did when he returned to Donghai County was to find out the situation of the Yellow Turban uprising in Qingxu Land and prepare for war.
The second thing is to send people from various prefects under Xuzhou to report the situation in the county.
The third thing is naturally to build Zhou Mu’s team.
Originally, Zheng Xiaoming's governor of Donghai was only in charge of one county in Donghai, but now he is the governor of the state, and he is in charge of the entire five counties of Xuzhou.
Therefore, the original county and dynasty team was not enough, and officials and assistants had to be recruited from the entire Xuzhou.
