Chapter 70: One Military Advisor in Hand, Halfway There

  "Mr. Wenruo, don't you feel much more relieved in your heart after vomiting?" Qin Feng and Xun Yu walked towards the forest, laughing.

  Xun Yu was so embarrassed, thinking to himself "You little rascal, what's wrong with you? Why do you have to say such disgusting things?" Xun Yu, being a typical Han scholar with talent and a sense of propriety, awkwardly said: "Younger brother Zichan, this matter absolutely cannot be spoken of recklessly..."

  Qin Feng gave him a knowing look and said seriously, "Yes, I am discussing with Mr. Wen Ruo in this forest the plan to surround and annihilate the Yellow Turbans..."

  "Zi Jin's words are quite right......" Xun Yu also realized at this moment that Zi Jin must be afraid of him revealing his embarrassing things... How could he not hold back? Ah...

  "Your Excellency!" Hu Che'er hastily greeted as he saw his master emerge.

  "Uh, go and tidy up a civilian house, I still need to discuss with Mr. Wenruo about the plan to surround the Yellow Turbans..." Qin Feng said hastily.

  "Yes!" Hu Che'er was a straightforward person, who would have thought that the two had gone in to vomit? Upon hearing this, he hastily ordered his subordinates to find a large mansion for the lord and the military advisor to rest.

  The village was almost empty, with only one household left. The rescued villagers gathered to thank Qin Feng for saving their lives. After meeting the frightened villagers, Qin Feng instructed Gao Shun to treat them well and not disturb the people, before returning to his house.

  "My lord, this time we have defeated a large group of Yellow Turbans and beheaded over 500 of them." Gao Shun reported back after arranging the matters in his hands.

  "Hmm, this is my first achievement in the camp. Boda, are there any casualties on our side?" Qin Feng asked hastily, this was his greatest concern. The cavalry in his hand were all precious and could not be lost.

  "Your Excellency!" Gao Shun was extremely excited and said: "Our side only had ten lightly wounded soldiers, who will recover in a few days without major problems."

  Xun Yu was shocked when he heard it on the side, 500 against 500, and yet not a single person died but beheaded each other, the mighty power of heavy cavalry is indeed like this.

  Qin Feng was overjoyed and thought to himself, "This money wasn't spent in vain." His heavy cavalry, like human-shaped tanks in this era of great chaos, were unstoppable by ordinary troops. On horseback, they were charging tanks; on foot, they were heavily armored infantrymen. They could kill anyone who dared to block their way, be it man or Buddha. However, Qin Feng also knew that such a force couldn't be built on a large scale. Thinking about the tens of millions of coins he had spent, which could have been used to build an army of hundreds of thousands, made his heart ache. Luckily, he had bribed the Ten Eunuchs and obtained the imperial merchant status from the Han royal family; otherwise, he wouldn't have had so much money. He also owed it to Zhou Shan, a capable businessman, who helped him make practical use of his ideas. After some thought, Qin asked, "Where has Dr. Hua Tuo's logistics team arrived?"

  "Reporting to Your Excellency, they are already ten miles away and will arrive here immediately!" Gao Shun hastily said.

  Qin Feng nodded, this was his first battle. In addition to the 500 iron cavalry, there were also relevant logistics troops. Two hundred strong men recruited from Lu Zhan guarded and carried a large amount of grain and fodder. The key point was Hua Tuo's medical team. This team had more than 20 people, all of whom were elites cultivated by Hua Tuo in the past six months. The battle with Huang Jin in this village was not an accidental encounter. Since Qin Feng left Luoyang, he had sent out more than a dozen scouts in eight directions to clearly grasp the intelligence within dozens of miles.

  "We must take good care of the wounded soldiers, and also make a detailed record of the military situation and battle conditions, to accumulate experience. Later on, it will certainly become our army's precious combat...". Qin Feng stopped here, with Xun Yu sitting beside him. This guy was a top-notch military strategist, and Qin Feng didn't want to reveal too much of his ambition in front of him, so he would wait until the time was ripe before making his move.

  "Our lord is benevolent and righteous, loves his soldiers like sons. We will definitely rush into boiling water and walk through fire to follow our lord..." Gao Shun said with loyalty.

  "Hu Che'er walked in with big strides, a look of pleasure on his face after taking lives, and saluted: 'Master, the confession has been obtained. Twenty miles ahead is the main camp of the Yellow Turbans, stretching over ten miles to surround Changshe City. The troop strength should be around 100,000, but the camp is simple, with only a few wooden fences."

  "Oh?" Qin Feng fell into deep thought. The Yellow Turbans had surrounded the 10,000+ troops of Huangfu Song in Changshe. If you wanted Qin Feng to say what major events would occur in the future of the Han Dynasty, he was very clear about it. If you wanted him to come up with a strategy to break through the Yellow Turban army, even if Qin Feng knew that historically they used fire attacks, he still truly didn't know how to ignite this flame.

  Qin Feng was clever and immediately caught sight of Xun Yu. Never mind if you don't understand, isn't there a military advisor here? After much effort to build a relationship, he came out, but it wasn't for this guy to enjoy the scenery. Qin Feng smiled and said: "Mr. Wen Ruo, the Yellow Turbans are powerful, what can be done about it?"

  Xun Yu smiled slightly and said, "Zi Gong's younger brother has strong and powerful soldiers under his command. His cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and they can take on ten men at once. The captured bandits only gave a general account, so we might as well conserve our energy for now and then go to investigate further."

  That's reasonable, I wonder why I didn't think of it. Qin Feng slapped the table and said: "As the military advisor said, you all go down and rest, conserve your energy. After a noon break, we'll set out...". Qin Feng finished speaking and gave a fierce glance...

  "Junior brother is advancing in virtue, as an older brother I dare not assume this role of military advisor." Xun Yu hastily said.

  Now the great Han court is still in power, these aristocratic families' ambitious men all think of going to the imperial court to be officials, and it is absolutely impossible for them to rely on others. You think, they are originally aristocratic families, how can they go to rely on another family? Qin Feng doesn't understand fighting, but he can think of this. He said in a low voice: "You do your thing, I'll do mine. Haven't you heard the saying that if you say something a thousand times, even if it's false, it will become true?" Then he said: "Mr. Wen Ru, it's not right for you to be like this, we are both serving the imperial court. Mr. has great talent and should be worthy of the position of military advisor. If the soldiers find out that our army doesn't have a military advisor, they will lose heart..."

  "General's great talent, is the master's Zifang, the master has a military strategist to assist, this time must defeat the Yellow Turbans and make our army's name resound...". Hu Che'er saw Qin Feng's expression, he didn't care about that much, and loudly shouted out what the master had taught him. What is Zifang? Is it not a house or something? Who knows, anyway, often heard the master say "my Zifang", I suppose the master wants this pale-faced bookworm to be his subordinate, but this guy doesn't take the hint, truly a narrow-minded scholar.

  Gao Shun also saw the master's expression, but he was naturally strict and somewhat embarrassed, so he didn't dare to say much.

  Xun Yu felt embarrassed and said: "This......"

  It's better to take advantage of the situation early on, and after pulling in connections, it will be even easier to make further progress. Qin Feng stood up and said: "From today on, Mr. Wenruo will be my military advisor in the trapped camp. You should respect Mr. Wenruo as much as you respect me. Mr. Wenruo's words are no different from mine. Whoever disobeys orders will be dealt with like this!" Qin Feng drew his sword and chopped off a corner of the table in front of him with a loud crash.

  The generals in the tent were shocked and hastily kowtowed on the ground, saying: "Military advisor is above, please accept our bow."

  "Ah!" Xun Yu thought to himself, how did things develop into this? However, he was also moved by Qin Feng's words and felt a slight sense of gratitude. He then said: "Everyone, please don't be like this, quickly get up..."

  Qin Feng said: "I've already told you this and that, if you don't behave yourself, I'll lose face. This precious sword in my hand will be useless."

  "Zi Jin, you are absolutely right! You and I are both serving the imperial court. In that case, it's all for the best!" Xun Yu said.

  Qin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, put away his treasured sword, and felt a pang in his heart. He thought to himself that this military advisor was indeed not easy to deal with, but at least he had arrived halfway to his own courtyard. He also knew that people like Xun Yu and Wang Shi were still loyal to the imperial court, and it wasn't until the Dong Zhuo rebellion, when the imperial court was in disarray and it was heartbreaking, that this kind of talent would look for another way out.

  "General, please be seated. You and the others will follow the general's orders, conserve your energy and wait for the right moment to attack the Yellow Turbans' camp after noon..."

  "Obeying your orders, sir!"
