Creating a Different World - Chapter 2142

[Chapter 2142 Licheng Yellow Turban]

Faced with Cao Cao’s recruitment, Jia Zhengjin agreed without hesitation: “A good bird breaks a tree to live in. Since you don’t abandon Jiang Qi’s origin as a Yellow Turban, Qi is willing to serve you!”

Seeing that he agreed so easily, several generals under Cao Cao’s account showed disdain.

Cao Cao was quite happy and immediately ordered people to set up a banquet.

In the next few days, the armies of Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Cao Cao began to clear the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan.

After Bo Cai and Peng Tuo were killed, this part of the Yellow Turbans was unable to resist the troops of the Eastern Han court and was soon completely wiped out.

It was originally thought that Cao Cao’s troops would continue to pursue the Yellow Turbans in other areas, but unexpectedly, after recovering Yingchuan, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Cao Cao took their troops home.

Cao Cao was named the Prime Minister of Jinan and led his troops to Jinan State, leaving the main battlefield of the Yellow Turban Campaign.

Cao Cao was very good to his generals. After arriving in Jinan State, he held banquets from time to time to have fun with the generals, of course, after finishing his business. It was time to clean up corrupt officials, and everyone joined the battle. No one was idle, and soon the Jinan government was in good order.

Military reports on the battle between the Eastern Han court and the Yellow Turban Army came in every day, and with the satellite monitoring of Nuwa, Jia Zhengjin could grasp the specific situation in time.

The heavenly court should also be trying to search for the target, but there is still no news so far.

Although performing official duties, training, and attending banquets every day, such a life is also quite fulfilling, but in his heart, he is really anxious to find the target that caused the zombie apocalypse. After returning from the camp, Jia Zhengjin sat down and tried to analyze all the intelligence he had obtained.

“The Prime Minister of Jinan ordered that all generals should go to the government office as soon as possible!” The messenger suddenly came to convey the order.

Jia Zhengjin got up quickly and hurried to the Prime Minister’s Mansion in Jinan.

When he arrived, other generals of Cao Ying also came in one after another.

Cao Cao sat at the top, and waited until all the civil and military officials arrived before he slowly said: “Since I became the Prime Minister of Jinan, the country (Jinan) has been stable. However, there is a military report that the Yellow Turbans have appeared in Licheng County recently, and the bandits are very powerful! The Licheng County Magistrate is trapped in the city and sent people to ask for help urgently. What can I do?”

“I am willing to lead the troops to fight and wipe out the Yellow Turbans!” Xiahou Dun, a general under Cao Cao’s account, immediately stood up and shouted with a fist.

“I am willing to go!” Xiahou Yuan also stood up.

With them leading the way, other generals under Cao Cao came out to ask for battle, and their morale was high.

Jia Zhengjin was certainly no exception. After all, it was possible to find the target only by contacting the Yellow Turban Army.

Seeing the high morale of the generals, Cao Cao was quite satisfied: “I have you all, why should I be afraid of small bandits? Yuan Rang listens to my orders!”

“I am here!” Xiahou Dun responded loudly.

“I order you to lead the troops to fight the bandits and recover Licheng!”

“Don’t worry, my lord! I will wipe out the Yellow Turbans and recover Licheng!”

“Miaocai, Zhenfu!”

“I am here!!” Xiahou Yuan immediately stood up.

Zhenfu is the name of Jia Zhengjin’s current identity Jiang Qi. He immediately stood up and clasped his hands.

“I order you two to follow Yuan Rang to the expedition!”

“Yes!”

Xiahou Dun was the main general, Xiahou Yuan and Jia Zhengjin were deputy generals, and they set out with 12,000 soldiers and marched towards Licheng.

When they set up camp about ten miles away from Licheng, Xiahou Dun asked the deputy general Xiahou Yuan to lead 4,000 soldiers to investigate first.

Jia Zhengjin took the initiative to ask to replace Xiahou Yuan to lead the battle.

After the Xiahou brothers exchanged opinions, they agreed to his request.

Jia Zhengjin led the troops to attack, and 4,000 soldiers and horses quickly marched towards Licheng.

When they arrived near the city, they found that the Yellow Turban Army was all over the mountains and surrounded the entire county.

Jia Zhengjin was not in a hurry to attack. He found a high ground to hide his troops. He first got a clear picture of the Yellow Turban Army camp and drew a picture for the soldiers to pass to the main general.

The commander Xiahou Dun quickly sent an order to Jia Zhengjin to stay on the spot. He and Xiahou Yuan divided their troops into two groups and marched from another road. The three teams formed a pincer attack.

Jia Zhengjin and Xiahou Yuan hid their troops until late at night. When Xiahou Dun’s order came, the three armies launched a surprise attack overnight.

The Yellow Turban Army was caught off guard and could not react at all.

The Licheng County Magistrate was overjoyed and immediately led the army in the city to join forces with the reinforcements. After a

night of fighting, the Yellow Turban general met Xiahou Dun and was very unlucky to have his head cut off with a knife.

The leaderless Yellow Turban Army was even more powerless to resist and was directly defeated.

After a night of fierce fighting, Cao’s army suffered few losses, but killed thousands of enemies and captured more than 10,000 prisoners.

The siege of Licheng was lifted, the army moved in directly, and sent soldiers to deliver the victory report.

“Come, drink!” After the battle, Xiahou Dun ordered the Licheng County Magistrate to set up a banquet to reward the three armies. The main generals who participated in this battle, as well as the civil and military officials of Licheng, were drinking and celebrating in the government office.

Jia Zhengjin sat quietly by the side, watching other generals and officials drinking and chatting loudly.

Halfway through the banquet, someone suddenly came in hurriedly with a very ugly face: “Report! Countless poisonous snakes suddenly appeared in the barracks, and our army suffered heavy casualties!”

“What?!” Everyone was shocked.

Hearing the word poisonous snake, Jia Zhengjin instinctively stood up and rushed out immediately.

Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, the magistrate of Licheng County, and the civil and military officials in the city also quickly stopped the banquet, left the government office, and ran towards the barracks.

When they arrived at the barracks, there were indeed poisonous snakes everywhere. The scene was simply horrifying.

Densely packed poisonous snakes crawled around in the tents, clinging to the piles of corpses of Cao’s soldiers, and constantly chasing the surviving Cao’s soldiers.

People with intensive phobia would probably faint on the spot.

The slightly smarter Cao’s soldiers used torches to drive away the poisonous snakes and stalemate with them.

“Why are there so many poisonous snakes?” Xiahou Dun’s face was quite ugly. He had already sent back a victory report, but the army suddenly suffered heavy casualties. How could he explain it to the lord?

No one at the scene knew what had happened, so they could only quickly come up with a plan to see how to drive away the snakes.

Jia Zhengjin scanned his eyes and suddenly found that the black air in the distant mountains was floating here, just covering the area where the poisonous snakes were. He immediately turned around and said, “General Xiahou, this is the Yellow Turban magic!”

“Yellow Turban magic?” Xiahou Dun was a little surprised, but he didn’t doubt it. Because “Jiang Qi” was a member of the Yellow Turbans before, “What should we do?”

“The person who casts the sorcery should be in that mountain! I will go to arrest him immediately, and you can command the soldiers in the city to clean up the poisonous snakes!”

“Captain Jiang, please be careful!”

“General Xiahou, please rest assured!” Jia Zhengjin pulled the reins and drove the warhorse under his crotch to gallop around and rush towards the distant mountains and forests.

When they arrived in the mountains, there were indeed countless poisonous snakes blocking the way.

The warhorse neighed and dared not move forward.

Jia Zhengjin simply jumped off the warhorse, holding a steel gun and walked through the poisonous snake formation without hesitation, letting the poisonous snakes bite him, not caring at all.

He is immune to all poisons and is not afraid at all.

He forced his way to the top of the mountain. He thought he could see the target who cast the curse to bring about the zombie apocalypse, but unexpectedly, there was a young girl wrapped in a yellow scarf on the top of the mountain.
