Chapter 71 The general has an invitation
Zhang Niujiao was killed in battle, hundreds of thousands of Heishan troops scattered, fleeing or surrendering, Xu Tian pursued for 100 miles, defeated Zhang Niujiao Army, and recruited countless Heishan troops to surrender.
Cao Cao started his business by recruiting the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, while Xu Tian relied on conquering the Heishan Army in Zhending County to establish the foundation.
Because Xu Tian defeated the Black Mountain Army with force, the captured Black Mountain Army was submissive and did not dare to look directly at Xu Tian, who was like a god of war.
These simple-minded Black Mountain troops have no extra thoughts. Whoever has a big fist and lets them eat their stomachs will follow.
"The Cavalry Commander is like a god descending to earth. The millions of civilians in Zhending County are all relying on the actions of the Lord to get shelter."
"If the county magistrate and the county magistrate know about it, they will definitely smile in the sky."
Because Xu Tian defeated the Heishan Army, the Cao officials in Zhending County successively killed the Heishan Army's Qu general Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Niujiao. They were very afraid of Xu Tian and supported Xu Tian to temporarily serve as the magistrate of Zhending County.
In the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty, bandits were rampant. Whoever had the strength to protect the country and the people would become the object of support from local wealthy families and officials.
In order to prevent the Heishan Army from making a comeback, Cao officials and powerful people from Zhending County chose Xu Tian as the county magistrate to protect their side.
Xu Tian directly skipped the cumbersome territory development and took charge of Zhending County.
Although this was different from Xu Tian’s original plan, the Zhending County Magistrate died in battle, giving Xu Tian the opportunity to take over Zhending County and gain the hearts of the people of Zhending County. Xu Tian took the initiative.
Unlike normal lords, Xu Tian did not have a fixed main city because in Xu Tian's plan, Yecheng was the most suitable main city. The territory in the early stage was just to accumulate troops to seize Yecheng.
This is equivalent to Yuan Shao being the prefect of Bohai, but looking at the position of governor of Jizhou.
Of course, the development of Zhao Town is not useless. It can be used as a town under Zhending County to strengthen the strength of Zhending County.
Zhending County has a sixth-level cavalry battalion, infantry battalion, bow barracks, as well as medium and high-level medical clinics, martial arts halls, blacksmith shops, and siege camps (training craftsmen and manufacturing siege equipment)...
Compared with Zhaozhen, Zhending City, as a medium-sized city, is more suitable for serving as the main city.
"Migrate some of the population to Zhao Town, upgrade Zhao Town to a small city, and protect Zhending County."
Xu Tian issued a new order.
In this way, the cities that Xu Tian really controlled were Zhending City and Zhaocheng. They incorporated hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain troops, with a population of about two million, and became a powerful little prince.
At present, few player lords can be called princes.
Xu Tian dominated a county. If it was placed in the Warring States Period in Japan, it would be a perfect name.
When the Black Mountain Army was defeated, Xiao He's characteristic of "governing by inaction" was effective. After the war-torn Zhending County, the recovery speed of various internal affairs was +40%.
Inaction and governance are not about doing nothing, but about doing less taxes and quickly restoring productivity.
After Xu Tian's sphere of influence expanded into a county, Xiao He finally had a place to use his skills and managed Zhending County in an orderly manner.
Xu Tian appointed Xiao He as the chief minister and took charge of the internal affairs of Zhending County.
Because he plundered the property of the Heishan Army and also had savings in Zhending County, he was not short of military food in a short period of time.
Xiao He also organized the Heishan Army to carry out larger-scale military farming in Zhending County.
As long as you have enough force to protect Zhending County from attacks by the Black Mountain Army, then with Xiao He's ability, the prosperity of Zhending County can be quickly restored and make Zhending County a reliable stronghold.
"A good civil servant is indeed extremely comfortable."
Xu Tian is very comfortable now. With Xiao He in dealing with internal affairs, Xu Tian does not have to be plagued by all kinds of trivial matters.
Xu Tian defeated Zhang Niujiao, the Heishan Army in Zhending County. This incident quickly spread and for a moment, the world was in an uproar.
Zhang Niujiao was the famous Heishan Army Qu Commander, but was killed by Xu Tian.
Xu Tian and his generals had already died under the sword, including Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Niujiao, Gao Sheng, Zhang Jiao and others.
Xu Tian's popularity surpassed the three heroes of Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun in the late Han Dynasty. He was called the "God of War in Shijiazhuang" by many players, and his reputation even reached Luoyang City.
When the Han Empire general He Jin heard about Xu Tian’s reputation, he also thought that Xu Tian was worthy of winning over because Xu Tian was the one who offended the Ten Generals, so he specially sent an envoy to invite Xu Tian to the General's Mansion in Luoyang City for details.
It is obvious that He Jin wants to win over this Shijiazhuang war god.
This has added to Xu Tian's legendary color. Posts about Xu Tian have been viewed by hundreds of millions of people.
The governor of Jizhou, Zhao State, and Heishan Army, Zhang Yan, and Yu Du cooperated to defeat the Han army of Zhao State, and captured a county town, looted everywhere, beacons were fired everywhere, and wolf smoke was curling.
Zhang Niujiao asked the two for help. Zhang Yan and Yu Du immediately led their troops into the teleportation array and headed to the city closest to Zhang Niujiao.
However, when they entered Changshan Kingdom, Zhang Niujiao had been shot and killed by Xu Tian's deputy general Zhang Liao.
Zhang Yan, Yu Du could not understand Xu Tian's strength and hesitated for a moment.
"The cavalry commander Xu Ziyun killed Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Niujiao one after another, and defeated Zhang Bao and Zhang Jiao. Could it be that his force is above me?"
Zhang Yan hesitated.
Xu Tian's force was a mystery to him.
Zhang Yan's ability is better than Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Niujiao, but Zhang Yan dare not say that he can beat Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao was shot and killed by Xu Tian.
So, how strong is Xu Tian?
Zhang Yan really can't guess it thoroughly.
"Zhang Yan, I heard that after Hedong Prefect Dong Zhuo replaced Lu Zhi, he attacked Guangzong City forcibly. Although the Han army suffered a lot of losses, Zhang Bao was defeated and was defeated. Since the main force of the Yellow Turbans has been defeated, it is better for us to lie dormant for the time being to avoid becoming a bird that stands out."
Yu Du was also a little scared.
Although the world was in chaos, there were many heroes in the Han court camp, and the Heishan Army had been killed. Yu Du was worried that Xu Tian, whose offensive strength was "unfathomable", would be killed by Xu Tian, so he dissuaded Zhang Yan.
"Then temporarily slow down the attack on Changshan Kingdom. Send many scouts to investigate the truth of the cavalry commander Xu Ziyun."
Zhang Yan realized that Xu Tian was a powerful enemy and should not attack troops before exploring Xu Tian's reality.
Little did they know that Zhang Yan and Yu Du's hesitation gave Xu Tian the opportunity to develop.
The Heishan Army slowed down the attack on Changshan Kingdom, which was unknown in depth, and turned to attack other counties. Xu Tian and Xiao He were able to restore the order in Zhending County.
In addition, Xu Tian received an invitation from General He Jin and decided to go to Luoyang City.
At present, Xu Tian controls Zhending County, with a bad reputation and a bad word. When he travels to Luoyang, he must fight for the corresponding official position for himself.
At the very least, we must take over the official position of Zhending County Magistrate.
"Zhang Liao, stay in Zhending County to train troops. Zhou Cang, Pan Feng, you two follow me to Luoyang."
Xu Tian considered that Zhang Liao was one of his trump cards and should not be too arrogant, so he brought Pan Feng and Zhou Cang two guards to Luoyang City to pay homage to General He Jin.
