Chapter 002
Three months.
No matter how the Yellow Turban Rebellion lasted only nine months from its outbreak in February to its suppression in November, it cannot change the fact that
This team was too mixed after the uprising, and due to the confusion among its members, the chaos reached its peak once it broke out.
If it was the countryside of Yanzhou before, perhaps she could find a place to stay temporarily for three months, but now it is probably not possible.
The Yellow Turban Army's siege was accompanied by a huge demand for military rations, but March was not the time for the autumn harvest.
As a result, all the food reserves in the surrounding areas, as well as the food reserves in the captured fortresses and towns, were controlled by the Yellow Turban leader of Yanzhou.
When Qiao Yan thought of this, he looked at the old man's body and couldn't help but sigh.
The haste and disorder of the uprising meant that the wave that swept across the north and south in the seventh year of Guanghe did not bring the so-called harvest of defeating the landlords and dividing the land, but rather the scene she saw before her eyes.
The social chaos caused by the sale of official positions and titles at the end of Emperor Ling of Han's reign was brought one step closer to collapse under the influence of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Of course, Liu Hong was still the emperor at this time, and he might even change the reign title to Zhongping because of the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in November this year to show that the world was stable. He had not yet received the posthumous title of "Ling (spirit) despite chaos and no harm".
"They say that Lop Nur is a place where even birds cannot cross. I think the same is true of the Daye Marsh now."
Qiao Yan raised his head and looked into the night which had become even darker.
The tired birds returning to their nests at dusk, which are commonly seen in the countryside, were nowhere to be seen.
So much so that the Yellow Turbans' slogans in the distance drowned out the evening bird calls that should have been heard, and could still be vaguely heard by her ears.
But it makes sense when I think about it.
After the poor harvest last year and the famine caused by the severe winter, all the trees that could still grow in the spring of the following year had been completely plundered if they were edible, and all those that could be used to make siege and defense equipment had also been dispatched.
Without the trees, there are far fewer bird nests.
It is even difficult not to wonder whether most of these birds have already become food for the hungry people.
Even the vultures and crows that would have landed on the corpses were nowhere to be seen.
According to this situation, even though this large wild lake is a swamp, there are probably not many fish living in it.
Who could have plundered it clean already because of the Yellow Turban Army and refugees heading from Juye City to Dongjun?
[Actually...actually it's not that there is no solution. 】The system tried hard to defend itself.
It was just that when choosing this identity, this counselor system numbered 068 did have the idea of winning without doing anything. Now he realizes that it seems a little inappropriate to throw a body that has been starving for a long time and is only about ten years old into the environment of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
There was a hint of guilt in its tone.
It continued: [There is a town in Yanzhou that successfully resisted the Yellow Turbans and was not on the Yellow Turbans' north-south route. 】
"Are you talking about Dong'a?" Qiao Yan responded quickly.
There are many famous people from the Three Kingdoms period in Yanzhou.
Not to mention that Cao Cao's hometown Qiao County is in Yanzhou, all parts of Yanzhou were actually important reserve resources for him to harvest counselors and generals in his early days. There have been records since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the first one mentioned was——
Cheng Yu.
When the Yellow Turban Army invaded in 184 AD, Wang Du, the county magistrate of Dong'e County, responded to the call of the Yellow Turban Army and burned down the warehouses in the county.
However, Cheng Yu discovered that Wang Du only wanted to plunder property and did not have the ability to defend the city, so he could only station troops five or six miles outside the city.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Yu and the wealthy people in the city immediately took the opportunity to return to the city to defend it, and also took the opportunity to defeat Wang Du when he counterattacked.
Dong'a, or rather Dong'a with Cheng Yu's assistance in defense at this time, seems to be a good place to go on the surface.
But it's only on the surface.
Qiao Yan used his finger as a pen to draw a circle on the sand in front of him.
This is where she is at the moment.
Daye Lake is located to the north of Juye City, which was earlier captured by the Yellow Turban Army.
In the original impression of "Qiao Yan", his father Qiao Yu, the prime minister of Rencheng, although not a pillar of talent, was a conscientious official after all.
There was a map of Yanzhou hanging in his study, which was a great benefit to her as a latecomer.
Judging from the division of counties in Yanzhou, Daye Lake is located at the junction of Jiyin, Shanyang, Dongjun and Dongping counties, among which Dongping is located in the north.
Although Dong'a, where Cheng Yu was located, belonged to Dongjun, it was incorporated into Jibei State in the Western Jin Dynasty. It was located to the north of Dongping and very close to the junction of the two counties.
The system looked at the host it had chosen and drew a dot on the sand, then a look of caution appeared on its face.
"Dong'a, according to the modern name, it is still Dong'a County, which belongs to Liaocheng, Shandong." Qiao Yan said, pointing to the point where he fell.
She pointed her finger at the sunken area on the south side of the circle she had drawn at the beginning. "Juye, belongs to Heze, Shandong."
"The distance between these two places is about 300 li. Normally, a person can walk about 5-6 kilometers in an hour. If you walk 8-10 hours a day, you can reach the destination in three days. It is indeed not far. But don't forget -
Firstly, I am not an adult and cannot walk that fast, and secondly, I don’t have enough food supplies. ”
This is not some spontaneous trip.
Although probably because of the existence of the system, when Qiao Yan took over this body, the previous symptoms of suspected infection with the epidemic had disappeared.
Even in the memories she obtained, the original "Qiao Yan's" excessive physical weakness had improved.
However, it must be admitted that neither age, physical strength nor food inventory can support the system's idea of going to Dong'a.
Qiao Yan had no intention of sitting there and waiting to die, but she knew that she must not act rashly at this moment!
After all, she is still in Juye now. It is not a bad option for her to seek temporary refuge among the local powerful people who can help her gain a foothold in the future.
It is a pity that Li Dian, who would become the General who Breaks the Enemy, was only four or five years old this year. It is completely unknown whether his cousin Li Gan had already gathered three thousand followers at this time and had not been affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Compared with Cheng Yu, who has traces to follow, this option is even less reliable.
After she said this, the system remained silent for a long time.
This reaction made it hard for her not to feel that this guy who called himself Strategist System 068 seemed to have a kind of newbie temperament.
But even though she thought so, she just wiped away the circles and dots on the ground and said, "Of course I don't mean to blame you. If I hadn't been chosen by you, I wouldn't even have a second chance to live."
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the light that she had seen at the corner of her eye since she woke up also jumped when she said this.
She instinctively raised her hand and touched the light, and the next moment, she saw a transparent light screen emitting faint light appear in front of her.
Qiao Yan's eyes flickered.
This light spot was exactly the panel of this counselor system.
However, at this first glance, Qiao Yan felt that this panel seemed a little too simple.
The only two things that appeared in front of her were the character's backpack, which was completely empty except for the treasure bag marked with the novice gift pack.
Another thing is the character information in the center.
[Name: Qiao Yan]
[Faction: Han (initial camp)]
[Occupation: Strategist (System Settings)]
Age: 10
[Physique: 28 (100), Force: 15 (100), Intelligence: 79 (100), Luck: 65 (?)]
[Remaining points available for distribution: 3]
[Skills: History lv7, Eloquence lv4, Cultural Relics Appraisal lv4, Painting lv3, Calligraphy lv4, Field Archaeology lv5, Ancient Coins lv3...]
[Remaining allocable skill points: 1]
[Strategist Points: 0] (For every 10 Strategist Points you gain, you will automatically gain 3 attribute points and 1 skill point)
[Special Status] Novice Protection Period (Not affected by environmental epidemics during the protection period, countdown 364 days, 23 hours, 42 minutes)
This is the plug-in that will accompany her in this era.
However, this character panel of just a few lines raised many questions for Qiao Yan.
The attribute panel provided by the system is undoubtedly a judgment of her own physique, combat power and intelligence.
Except for the question mark suffix of "Qiyun", the other scoring rules are clearly based on a percentage system.
So the question is, what level does the full score on this 100-point scale correspond to?
For example, in the skill list, there are some skills that she had already mastered before and can still be used in the current late Han Dynasty, but their classification still has a subjective assessment, for example -
【eloquence】.
This is what Qiao Yan thought and asked.
The system replied: [The specific numerical standards for the maximum level cannot be stated according to the regulations. I can only say that the numerical values of the first-tier counselors and generals that you know of will not be lower than 85 in the corresponding items. 】
If it said so, Qiao Yan would have a rough idea of the value.
[As for skills, the information I can provide you is that we have a set of system default evaluation criteria. If you improve your skills by allocating skill points through the system, the information will be conveyed in a way similar to memory transmission, but the specific effect is slightly inferior to what you have mastered yourself. 】
"What about the counselor point?"
This panel, which is currently displayed in an overly simplified manner, is obviously not the complete form of the system.
Surrounding the central character panel is a circle of clouds that acts as a barrier.
When the system explained the attributes and skills to her, Qiao Yan reached out and touched it, and saw the prompt on the panel -
[Sign in] [Unlocked after reaching 10 counselor points]
[3D map] [Unlocked after reaching 100 counselor points]
[Tips and Tricks] [Unlocked after reaching 300 Strategist Points]
…
The names are all very tempting, but her current position as a counselor is still a penniless zero.
The system replied: [Advisor points are divided into two parts. One is to achieve positive results for one's own camp through the act of making suggestions, or to achieve positive development within a force by helping the assistant to rise to the top. 】
"In other words, you can assist Cao Cao, who has become a lord, to seize territory and develop power, or assist Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, who have become the successors of Yuan Shao, to gain counselor points."
[You can say that.] Another way is to complete the act of making plans and trigger the achievement of being a counselor. Since we have selected the time point of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a series of hidden achievements have been automatically generated in the system achievement column. However, you need to explore the specific achievements on your own. In short, it is always a good idea to choose a suitable camp first. 】
Qiao Yan responded without comment.
The system did not notice the host's thoughts when it heard the explanation, and continued speaking.
I don't even know if it was because it had prepared this introduction for a long time, it changed its previous guilty silence, and spoke more and more fluently.
If the system did not have a physical form, Qiao Yan would have suspected that what she would see might be a childish ghost with his chest held high and a smug look on his face.
You have to hold up the manuscript and read it aloud.
[Finally, I want to remind you that the host selected by our strategist system aims to become the best strategist in the world, otherwise this second life will stop at 20 years. You wouldn't want to live only twenty years, would you? 】
[So...if I were you, I would treasure the strategist points I gained and quickly raise my intelligence to a level where I can compete with other strategists. Otherwise—]
【etc! ! 】
【What are you doing? ! ! 】
Just as the system was kindly suggesting that she quickly increase her intelligence value so that she could achieve the goal of becoming a strategist as soon as possible, Qiao Yan had already supported her chin with one hand and casually put the initial 3 attribute points on her constitution with the other hand.
Then, without hesitation, she put those initial skill points into level 4 [Elocution].
"Don't worry about this." Facing the system's sudden change of tone, Qiao Yan changed the subject nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, I want to ask you something——"
"Tell me, if I serve as a military advisor to the Yellow Turban Army, can I be considered a counselor?"
