Chapter 633 Current Situation
The fighting lasted for more than an hour, and Lu Cheng spent most of the time cleaning up the remaining officers and soldiers and gathering the fleeing Yellow Turban Army soldiers.
By the time the battle was over, nearly a thousand Yellow Turban soldiers had gathered behind Lu Cheng, as well as some elderly, weak, women and children who were held hostage by the Yellow Turban soldiers.
Of course, the elderly, the weak, women and children are basically mostly adult women, and there are only a few elderly people and children left.
In this one-sided battle, the Yellow Turban Army, as the defeated side, could only flee for their lives. Those who ran slowly were killed by the officers and soldiers. Even the elderly and children mostly died in the chaos.
Those officers and soldiers don't care about benevolence, righteousness, or morality. Every head of the Yellow Turban Army is a military achievement.
After the battle was over, Lu Cheng looked at the more than a thousand people in front of him and felt somewhat disappointed.
Rather than saying that the Yellow Turban Army were soldiers, it would be better to say that they were just a group of refugees. Even though they held the swords, spears, and halberds of the officers and soldiers, they did not look like soldiers.
It would be fine for a group of people like this to follow Lu Cheng and fight some favorable battles and pick up some spoils of war. However, as long as they encounter officers and soldiers of equal numbers and Lu Cheng fails to take care of them, this group of people will collapse again at any time and become refugees with nowhere to escape.
Moreover, these Yellow Turban soldiers were generally thin and weak. At first glance, they were lower-class people who were usually hungry and cold. How much strength could they have?
However, Lu Cheng has no chance to be picky now. It would be good enough to have someone under his command to use instead of being a commander without any troops.
After having these people clean up the battlefield and take away everything they could use, Lu Cheng led them all the way north. After walking a distance, Lu Cheng asked everyone to stop and rest, and to eat some dry food found from the soldiers.
Just now, Lu Cheng had a brief understanding of the current situation.
It is now the seventh year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, which is late August 184. Not long ago, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jue, had died of illness, and another leader of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Liang, was leading the remaining Yellow Turban Army to retreat to Guangzong and confront Huangfu Song.
However, the Battle of Guangzong that will take place soon will also be the last battle of the three Zhang brothers. After this battle, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army will be basically eliminated, and a new era of heroes rising up in the late Eastern Han Dynasty will officially begin.
At this time, Lu Cheng and others were located in the northern part of Jizhou, with Julu County to the south and Zhongshan Kingdom to the north.
Guangzong County is located in the southern part of Julu County, where there are both the remaining main forces of the Yellow Turban Army and the main forces of the government army led by Huang Fusong and others.
The Yellow Turban Army was at the end of its rope, and the government troops were eager to harvest the remaining forces of the Yellow Turban Army. Whether heading south, west or east, Lu Cheng and others might be chased and intercepted by the government troops at any time.
If he wanted to fight for a way of survival for his men and occupy a piece of territory for himself, he might have to take the most familiar old road, all the way to the northeast, to Liaodong.
According to the original historical development, in the sixth year of Zhongping, that is, in 189 AD, when Dong Zhuo was in power, Gongsun Du was recommended by his fellow villager Xu Rong and became the prefect of Liaodong.
After Gongsun Du arrived in Liaodong, he enforced strict laws and cracked down on local tyrants. He worked hard to manage Liaodong. Later, he marched east to Goguryeo, attacked Wuhuan in the west, took Liaodong Peninsula in the south, and even crossed the sea to occupy part of Jiaodong Peninsula, becoming a local emperor in Liaodong.
When the Central Plains was in the midst of chaos and war among warlords, the Liaodong Peninsula enjoyed a rare peace. Many people from the Central Plains went to Liaodong for refuge, including Taishi Ci of Donglai, Guan Ning and Bing Yuan of Beihai.
Compared with the Central Plains, Liaodong is indeed a good place for early development. Moreover, Lu Cheng is most familiar with Liaodong.
Thinking of this, Lu Cheng has already determined the next goal and direction in his mind.
However, with only a few thousand people now, they would not be able to cause any waves even if they arrived in Liaodong.
Therefore, on the way north, Lu Cheng needs to win over as many people as possible and accumulate enough first pot of gold to start a business in Liaodong.
Taking advantage of the break, Lu Cheng's eyes stayed on the void in front of him and opened his attribute panel:

The reincarnation in the previous world gave Lu Cheng a new leisure skill such as fishing, plus 2 points of mental power, a cubic storage space, and ten destiny points, and nothing else.
However, in the last few decades of his life, Lu Cheng took medicine a big step forward and greatly improved his level of medicine making. The body-building pills, longevity pills, and anti-aging pills he produced this time have already allowed people to break their limits.
After closing the system panel, Lu Cheng stood up and called all his men to stand in a row. He said in a loud voice, "Fellow villagers, brothers and sisters present, we have been chased and intercepted by soldiers and killed at will. We fled from south to north and finally came here.
On the way to escape, some of us lost our parents, some lost our brothers, and some lost their children. If we continue to escape like this, perhaps tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, we will also be killed by soldiers and buried in the wilderness, with no one to collect our bodies.
I believe you have all seen today's battle. Facing the same number of soldiers, it was me, Lu Cheng, who led you to fight your way out of a bloody situation, beat back the soldiers, and allowed you to survive temporarily. So, if you want to continue to live, you must follow me unswervingly!
I will continue to lead you to find a way to survive, to find a piece of land that can accommodate us, so that everyone can have land to grow crops, food to eat, and clothes to wear! So that everyone will no longer have to starve, abandon their wives and children, and die in the wilderness! "
In order to stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible, Lu Cheng made a simple pre-war mobilization speech. With the dual blessing of Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound and hypnosis skills, he barely raised some morale. If he wanted these people to follow him unswervingly, he also needed to lead them to win battles and survive.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng called himself the Great General of Divine Might, and simply organized the nearly 8 soldiers under his command into teams of men. The extra hundred or so people, together with the elderly, the weak, women and children, served as logistical personnel.
In the previous battle, Lu Cheng also seized more than 30 war horses. He then selected a dozen men who could ride horses from the Yellow Turban Army. After simple training and guidance, they were temporarily called scouts, responsible for gathering intelligence ahead.
From here to Liaodong, one has to pass through Zhongshan State in the north of Jizhou and cross most of Youzhou. The journey will not be peaceful.
Moreover, Lu Cheng also asked the scouts to pay special attention to the defeated Yellow Turban Army who were being chased by the officers and soldiers, and to strengthen the team while marching.
From June to August, the Yellow Turban Army suffered a series of defeats and heavy losses. The 6 armies originally distributed in 8 states and 8 counties were now scattered all over the country, and many of them fled to the wilderness and occupied one side. Later, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army were formed in various places, among which the more famous ones were the White Wave Army and the Black Mountain Army.
