Tai Shici and Kong Rong took the soldiers and horses and continued to walk forward along the official road. After walking less than five miles, I suddenly saw more than a dozen officers and soldiers on the side of the road, escorting dozens of ragged civilians, walking forward.

"Ziyi, you send someone to ask," Kong Rong couldn't help but feel compassion when he saw those people, and hurriedly said to Tai Shici: "What did these people do, and where are the officers and soldiers going to take them to?" ”

The subordinates sent by Tai Shici soon came back to report: "If you go back to the two adults, these are the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and they are going to be taken to the camp to be executed." ”

"What, these people are going to be put to death?" When Kong Rong saw that there were still women and children in the crowd, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, he frowned and thought for a while, and then said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi, look at the women and children among them, even if they are the remnants of the yellow scarf, they can't be executed without asking questions." ”

"My lord," Tai Shici waited for Kong Rong to finish speaking, and immediately asked, "What should we do?" ”

"Let the officers and soldiers hand over these people to us." Kong Rong resolutely said: "As long as we take them together, we can save their lives." ”

Tai Shi Ci knew that if he only sent his men to do it, he would definitely hit the nail, so he personally urged his horse to come to the side of the group of soldiers, and asked loudly: "Which of you is the leader?" ”

A figure who looked like something stood up and asked Tai Shici, "What part are you from, and what are you doing here?" ”

"We are here from Yecheng, escorting the angel to Jicheng to deliver a decree to General Gongsun." Tai Shi Ci pointed at the chief and asked, "Which part of you are from?" ”

"It turns out that you went to Jicheng to give a decree to my lord." After hearing Tai Shici's words, Shi Chang couldn't help but smile: "I don't know if it's a little one, it's a lot of offense, and please forgive me." ”

"There is no need to say these polite words." Tai Shi Ci waved his hand at Shi Chang and said, "My family wants this group of people, I wonder if you can cut your love?" ”

Hearing Tai Shi Ci say this, Shi Chang's face showed an embarrassed expression. The people he caught were going to be brought back to the camp to receive the reward, and if he gave this lord who was going to Jicheng to preach the message, his bounty would be gone.

Just as he hesitated, a money bag suddenly fell in front of him. Shi Chang bent down to pick up the money bag on the ground, and when he looked up, he saw that an official on horseback had thrown it. He weighed the weight of the money bag, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said respectfully, "Thank you for the reward!" ”

Kong Rong saw that the money bag had already arrived in Shi Chang's hands, so he asked coldly: "Since the money has arrived, then these people, you can hand them over to us, right?" ”

"Yes, you can." Shi Chang nodded vigorously a few times and instructed his subordinates: "Give all the remnants of the Yellow Turban to this lord from Yecheng." ”

Seeing that Tai Shici's soldiers and horses were about to receive this group of people, a military commander hurriedly whispered to Shi Chang: "Shi Chang, if we hand over all the remnants of the Yellow Turban to this adult, then our reward will be all in vain." ”

Shi Chang shook the heavy money bag in his hand, and said in a disdainful tone: "The reward given by the lord is much more than what is given in the camp, and I will invite you brothers to drink later." ”

Wu Chang saw that the money bag in Shi Chang's hand seemed to have a lot of money in it, so he no longer insisted, but took the initiative to hand over this batch of yellow scarf remnants to Tai Shici and them, turned around and walked away.

When the Youzhou soldiers left, Kong Rong turned over and dismounted, stood in front of these people, and said to them: "Fathers, it's okay, you can go home." ”

Who knew that when those people heard Kong Rong say this, they immediately became flustered. An old man took the lead in kneeling in front of Kong Rong, kowtowed again and again, and said, "My lord, please, save us." If we go home now, it won't be long before we will be arrested by those damned officers and soldiers as the remnants of the Yellow Turban......"

Before he could finish his words, he felt someone pull his back and cough heavily. The coughing sound woke up the old man, and he remembered that the cavalry in front of him was not also an officer and soldier? Isn't it looking for death when you say that about them yourself? Thinking of this, the old man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, knelt on the ground and trembled, not daring to say another word.

Fortunately, Kong Rong didn't notice these details, and after listening to the old man's words, he turned around and asked Tai Shici: "Ziyi, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"Your Excellency." Tai Shi Ci heard the old man's words and knew that he was very reasonable. Although Kong Rong spent money to buy these people from the hands of the Jizhou soldiers, if he put them home, maybe in two days, they would be captured by another group of Jizhou soldiers and sent to the camp in exchange for a reward. Thinking of this, Tai Shici hurriedly said to Kong Rong: "I think it's better to bring them with you, so that they don't suffer any more unwarranted disasters." After we return to Jizhou, we will find a proper place to settle them. ”

"However, if we take this group of civilians with us, our march will be greatly slowed down." In order to prevent the people from suffering any more, Kong Rong wanted to bring these people with him, but he felt that it would affect the itinerary, so he was a little hesitant: "In this way, it will delay the matter of going to Jicheng to spread the edict." ”

"Don't worry, sir." Seeing that Kong Rong was so indecisive, Tai Shi Ci smiled bitterly, and then said to him: "This announcement is to reprimand Gongsun Zhan, there is no difference between one day earlier and one day later." ”

"That's just as well." Regarding Tai Shici's statement, Kong Rong felt that there was some truth, anyway, it was a holy decree to reprimand people, and it was almost the same as if it was delivered early or late, so he said with relief: "Since this is the case, bring these people with you." Ask them if they are hungry, and order the soldiers to fetch some dry food to feed them. ”

In this way, there were more than 40 more people in Tai Shici and Kong Rong's team. According to the speed of the cavalry, it would take two days at most to reach Jicheng, but because there were women and children among the people, the speed of the march was seriously slowed down. According to Tai Shici's calculations, it will take at least five days to reach Jicheng. Fortunately, the soldiers carried enough dry food, so they did not have to worry about running out of dry food on the road and starving.

After walking on the road for five days, I finally saw the outline of Jicheng, and even saw a crowd of people waiting outside the city gate in the distance. Kong Rong looked at the crowd in the distance, and said to himself: "I don't know if it was Liu Youzhou or Gongsun Zhan who went out of the city to greet him." ”

Tai Shi Ci looked at the distance for a while, although he couldn't really see it, but he said categorically: "The person who greeted him outside the city was Gongsun Zhan, not Liu Youzhou. ”

"Ziyi, so far away, you can actually see clearly?" Kong Rong couldn't help but be very surprised that Tai Shi Ci could clearly see that the person who greeted him outside the city gate was Gongsun Zan at such a distance.

"Your Excellency, you see, there is a line of soldiers and horses outside the city, and it has a single banner." Tai Shici analyzed to Kong Rong and said: "If Liu Youzhou travels, it must be mainly officials and ordinary people, and there will definitely not be so many soldiers." Therefore, the person who judged that you would be greeted outside the city must be Gongsun Zhan. When he arrived near the city gate, it was Gongsun Chan who stepped forward to greet him. It was only at this time that Kong Rong believed that Tai Shici's analysis was correct.

Tai Shici and Kong Rong took the soldiers and horses and continued to walk forward along the official road. After walking less than five miles, I suddenly saw more than a dozen officers and soldiers on the side of the road, escorting dozens of ragged civilians, walking forward.

"Ziyi, you send someone to ask," Kong Rong couldn't help but feel compassion when he saw those people, and hurriedly said to Tai Shici: "What did these people do, and where are the officers and soldiers going to take them to?" ”
