Chapter 546: Setting Out for Qu Liang
Chapter 546: Setting Out for Qu Liang
September 25, 2017
Jiuzhou, Zhao Jun, Handan.
After Wang Tui's advancement to a Strength of 80, Lu HaiKong had been eagerly awaiting Chen Ping's breakthrough, thinking that this guy should have broken through by now.
After all, Wang Tui and Chen Ping had almost simultaneously advanced, and with Wang Tui's breakthrough, it was only logical that Chen Ping should have followed suit.
But Lu HaiKong forgot one thing; these two guys cultivated different systems, so in reality, Chen Ping's breakthrough came much later than Wang Tui's, but he still managed to break through smoothly in early October.
It was quite amusing; the first true political/strategic talent under Lu HaiKong to reach 80 wasn't Xin Ping or Wang Tui, those hardworking scholars who toiled day and night, but rather this guy, Chen Ping.
When Chen Ping broke through, the scene was quite spectacular. Starting from the room he was in, within a ten-meter radius, the old wood used to build houses sprouted new buds, and a verdant green spread.
Indeed, Lu HaiKong's speculation was spot on. After Chen Ping's political and strategic talents reached 80, the power of the Divine Farmer Scripture awakened, and he gained a Scholar Talent and a combat skill.
Upon breaking through to 80 in politics and strategy, Chen Ping acquired the ability to control plants within a ten-meter radius around him. Lu HaiKong tested it, finding it somewhat interesting but not very damaging; a couple of guys with a Strength of 60 could easily overpower him.
However, the talent Chen Ping awakened was quite intriguing and delighted Lu HaiKong, as it turned out to be a healing talent.
Chen Ping
Lord: Lu HaiKong
Loyalty: 90
Occupation: Divine Farmer
Abilities:
Strength: 60, Politics: 80, Strategy: 80, Command: 15
Advanced Talents: (Strength Cap: 85, Politics Cap: 80, Strategy Cap: 85, Command Cap: 35)
Main Martial Technique: Clear Wind Bright Moon Sword
Main Mind Technique: Clear Wind Bright Moon Technique/Divine Farmer Scripture
Mastered Occupational Skill: Plant Control
Scholar Talent: Rejuvenation
Rejuvenation: Active healing talent, when activated, can restore the injuries of up to 20 people (the number of people healed can increase with proficiency!)
Chen Ping's talent caught Lu HaiKong's attention, and he had been hoping for a talent like this.
After seeing Chen Ping's talent, Lu HaiKong immediately took him out to test it, eager to witness the incredible effects of Rejuvenation.
The results were even better than Lu HaiKong had anticipated, almost like a bug in the system. Essentially, unless someone was severely disabled, Chen Ping's Rejuvenation could bring them back. The only drawback was the slightly long cooldown period.
After using Rejuvenation, Chen Ping himself felt that it would take at least three to five days to recover.
A bit of a drawback, but the good news was that Rejuvenation could be improved. In theory, if Chen Ping mastered it, he could use it once a day or even more, and heal more people, but it would be challenging and require time to practice._
Despite the long cooldown, Chen Ping's Rejuvenation had significant potential.
In battle, if Lu HaiKong had more talents like this in his ranks, he could minimize casualties to the greatest extent.
For Lu HaiKong, the most painful aspect of war was watching his subordinates die before his eyes, especially those of the intermediate and advanced ranks.
Each of these guys had been cultivated with great effort and significant resources, and they had emerged from the blood and fire of battle. Every sacrifice of a Bloodsoaked Knight tugged at Lu HaiKong's heart.
So when he saw Chen Ping's Rejuvenation, he immediately gave the order, sending someone back to Bei Feng to have Wang Jun find someone to perform the Divine Farmer's occupation change right away! As many as possible!
However, even though they were acting with all their might, it was basically impossible to cultivate Chen Ping to that level in just a year or two.
Of course, if the Divine Farmer's Hall was upgraded, it might be faster, who knows.
............................................................
While Chen Ping was breaking through on one side, on the other side, Huangfu Song finally set out for Qu Liang under the urging of the Imperial Court.
In OneSixOneNineBookBarOneLookNoErrorVersion!
Qu Liang is the city closest to Julu in Weizhou. Taking Qu Liang is equivalent to knocking on the door of Julu Prefecture, and a few hundred li ahead is the Yellow Turban's lair, Julu.
Therefore, everyone knew that this was going to be a tough battle, and for this battle, Huangfu Song did not plan to use Dong Zhuo's forces.
On the one hand, after suffering a loss at Lu HaiKong's side, he had already lost both face and substance, greatly diminishing his prestige. Another point was that Dong Zhuo's forces were cavalry, and they did not have Lu HaiKong's means of opening the city gates in advance. How could they really use cavalry to open the gates?
Why did everyone firmly believe that Lu HaiKong could not take Ye City? On the one hand, Lu HaiKong only had a thousand cavalry, and no one knew how powerful Lu HaiKong's cavalry could be. Another point was, who the hell knew that Lu HaiKong had a Phantom Guard in his hand that could open the gates of Ye City at any time?
Everyone thought that Lu HaiKong only had a thousand cavalry, and a thousand cavalry without any siege equipment would be attacking a city with at least a hundred thousand troops and complete defenses. How could they fight? Were they going to use their heads to attack?
It was also under such circumstances that Huangfu Song fell into a passive situation.
Now, perhaps it was because of the faint shadow that Lu HaiKong brought to Huangfu Song, or perhaps it was Huangfu Song's strong self-confidence, or perhaps he wanted to use this battle to rebuild his prestige that had been greatly damaged by the Lu HaiKong incident. This time, he deployed his own forces.
Under Qu Liang City, Huangfu Song's ten thousand troops lined up, and an iron-blooded aura rose to the sky.
When this army initiated war mode, the aura they displayed astonished everyone, even Dong Zhuo's three thousand fierce Western Liang cavalry had to take this seemingly ordinary allied force seriously at this moment.
Amidst this iron-blooded aura, a burly man next to Cao Cao rode a fierce warhorse and came to Qu Liang City alone.
The man waved the broadsword in his hand, and a malevolent aura rose to the sky, shouting towards Qu Liang City: "This is Xu Chu of Jiao Guo, who dares to fight me!"
His voice was like a bell, like thunder, like a roar, echoing through heaven and earth, causing the Yellow Turban soldiers in the city to tremble, and some even dropped their weapons in surprise.
With such power in his voice, perhaps only Zhang Fei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms could rival him.
Seeing this man, even Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu on Dong Zhuo's side, and Sun Jian on Zhu Jun's side, couldn't help but have their eyes light up, even though they had been in the same camp for over half a month. They were witnessing Xu Chu's strength for the first time today...
