After driving away Xinye's Yellow Turban Army, Wen Qi also received an order from Huang Fu Song to transfer as many troops as possible to Nanyang to prepare for a decisive battle with Zhang Mancheng.

However, the night before Wen Qi planned to set off from Xinye, the horn sounded in the city, and Wen Qi followed a few generals to the city, while still wondering where the soldiers and horses would attack the city.

Wen Qi climbed to the top of the city, and by the moonlight, he saw a group of people running towards the city in the distance, but the formation was not like a siege formation, but like a posture of fleeing back to the city.

Seeing these people getting closer and closer, Huang Zhong shot a rocket, and by the light of the fire, he could vaguely see that these people were dressed like Yellow Turban Army.

"Prepare to release the arrows!" Since it was the Yellow Turban Army, Huang Zhong was not polite, just waiting for the other party to enter the firing range.

"Don't let the officers and soldiers in the city release arrows, don't release arrows, save us!"

The running Yellow Turbans stopped beyond the range of their bows and arrows and began to shout under the city.

"What's going on?" Wen Qi asked towards the city.

"Da Qu Shuai, no, Pei Yuanshao is crazy, he killed everyone!" The people under the city said.

"Go down to the city and make it clear!"

"Then Pei Yuanshao took us, there was no food to eat, and went to Anzhong City, but Anzhong City was broken, we had no way out, we couldn't stand the hunger, some people wanted to go, and then that Pei Yuanshao killed those people, saying that the great sage and good teacher, ah, phew, said that Zhang Jiao would come to rescue us."

"And then?"

"Then Pei Yuanshao said that it takes 2,100 corpses to form a formation before Zhang Jiao can descend here, and we will ...... it."

"You killed two thousand and one hundred men?"

"Everyone is hungry and afraid, I heard that the great sage and good teacher can come to save us, so everyone killed some hungry people who couldn't walk, and put the corpses in place according to what Pei Yuanshao said."

"Did the horn come?"

"I didn't see the small ones, and Pei Yuanshao knew that the day after the formation was set, Pei Yuanshao made a lot of rune water, saying that if you eat it, you can forget hunger and fear, so we lined up to get rune water to drink."

The Yellow Turban who spoke gasped twice, not knowing if it was because he was hungry or if the situation scared him.

"Then the line was very long, we were all at the end, there were about 20,000 people who drank the rune water, the first people who drank the rune water began to wail, some began to roll on the ground, some people began to scratch their faces, scratched their own flesh, the flesh and blood were blurred, and some gouged out their eyes, and finally fell to the ground and died, we people were frightened when they saw it, and ran away, and some people were obsessed and still waiting there for the rune water to drink, that Zhang Jiao and Pei Yuanshao were both liars."

"It's nonsense, you are deceiving the ghost with this, I see that you are obviously sent by Pei Yuanshao to trick us into letting you into the city." Huang Zhonggao shouted.

"My lord, general, the villain really didn't lie to you, we have seen all this, and some of them have gone to Anzhong, we came to Xinye, please save us, give us a bite to eat!"

According to Wenqi's understanding of cult beliefs, if these people are still bewitched by the Taiping Dao, Zhang Jiao and Pei Yuanshao are more respected to them than their ancestors, and they call Zhang Jiao and Pei Yuanshao by name, saying that they are liars and should be killed.

What's more, it's not that the Yellow Turban Army can't wake up, but they just need to break away from the Taiping Sect for a period of time, although these people still get together, they can't bear the hunger in their stomachs, and it's not impossible to wake up in advance.

But it is also taboo to let these people into the city, I don't know if it is the relationship between the mercy attribute of the weeping blood beads, Wen Qi can't be ruthless and drive these people away directly, and finally said: "Listen, it's impossible to let you into the city, but it's okay to give you a full meal, wait under the city." ”

Wenqi had the food cooked, hung from the city in a basket, and then let them beg for their own blessings.

Although I don't understand why Pei Yuanshao wanted to poison his troops, but this matter just passed, early the next morning, Wen Qi took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals, with his own 7,000 people and 5,000 people allocated by Jingzhou Assassin Shi Wang Rong, planning to return to the ancient city to replenish first, and then go to Nanyang to support Huangfu Song.

After marching all the way to dusk, Wenqi's troops prepared to camp on the spot and spend the night here, when Huang Zhong, who was in charge of guarding, came to say that he had something to report.

"My lord, look at this!"

Huang Zhong brought a clean animal skeleton to Wen Qi, which looked like a skeleton specimen in the laboratory.

Judging from the appearance, this skeleton has two horns on its head, which should be a deer corpse, but Wen Qi didn't quite understand what Huang Zhong meant by showing a skeleton to himself.

Zhou Cang has been a hunter for a while, and he checked it and said, "My lord, this deer will not be dead for more than two days. ”

"I've only been dead for two days, and I don't know what animal killed it, but it's eaten cleanly." Wen Qi said, he didn't take it too seriously, a deer corpse that had been eaten was no longer normal.

"Look at the bite marks on these bones." Huang Zhong pointed to the tooth marks on the bones and said.

Wen Qi shook his head, but still didn't find any problems.

"It's a human bite mark!"

Wen Qi looked at the bloodshot on the bones, obviously they hadn't been boiled.

"What kind of person can be so hungry that he eats raw meat?"

"My lord, the last general suspects that Pei Yuanshao's Yellow Turban Army is near here." Huang Zhong directly expressed his suspicions.

If it was Pei Yuanshao's hungry soldiers, it was really possible to eat a deer raw, but Pei Yuanshao took those soldiers to Anzhong first, and then turned back and walked here without food and grass?

And last night, those Yellow Turban soldiers said that Pei Yuanshao had poisoned all his soldiers, did those people still lie to themselves?

Wen Qi couldn't think of it, but he was faintly uneasy, so he simply gave up the plan to camp here, and the whole army rushed ten miles to find a piece of unsheltered high ground to camp.

"I just saw wolves on the road, several pairs of green eyes." A soldier chatted while encamping in an open field.

"you, are the wolf's eyes green?"

"What's that look?"

"I don't know, if there was a wolf, seeing so many of us, it would have run away a long time ago, and it wouldn't be stupid."

"I'd love to see it too!" Another soldier also chimed in.

"You've seen a female ghost!"

At night, Wenqi sent twice as many soldiers, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu personally kept vigil, but nothing happened one night.

The next day, Wenqi urged the army to advance rapidly, and until the afternoon, there was not even a pedestrian on the road, and Wenqi felt that he was a little too careful.

Zhang Fei, who was leading the cavalry forward in front, waved the Zhangba snake spear in his hand and signaled the army to stop, and after a while, Wen Qi caught up with Guan Yu and Huang Zhong.

"What's going on with Yide?" Huang Zhong asked.

Zhang Fei pointed ahead, due to the recent heavy rain, there was a lot of water in Nanyang, and the road was still muddy in some places, and the place Zhang Fei pointed to was a muddy field.

However, Zhang Fei didn't let everyone come to see the mud, but went to leave a lot of footprints on the soil, Huang Zhong spared a big circle and surveyed it.

"My lord, these footprints overlap with each other, and it is impossible to estimate the specific number, but at least there are no less than 10,000 people." Huang Zhong said.

There are no less than 10,000 troops, who in this vicinity still has the strength to have a team of more than 10,000 people, is it really Pei Yuanshao?

Wen Qi was thinking about it, Gao Shun and Guan Yu also surveyed the road in front of them, and came to Wen Qi with a broken foot in his hand.

"The lord just found it on this muddy road, and at first I thought it was a shoe stuck in the mud, but when I took it out, it was a broken foot."

There was no sign of the foot being severed, as if it had fallen directly from the joint, and there were signs of decay in the foot.

"Can you tell if the foot rots first and then falls off, or if it falls off and then decays?" Wenqi had a sense of foreboding.

Several of the generals under his command shook their heads, this kind of problem could not be identified at all.

"Where is the nearest castle?"

"Huyang, it's five miles away."

"The whole army is heading for Huyang, stop marching today, and camp in Huyang!"
