CHAPTER XV

Feeling a commotion behind him, the leader of the Yellow Turban looked back and saw a military horse attacking behind him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How is that possible?" Looking at the military horse that was rushing towards him, the leader said in disbelief.

The army attacked the city, but he didn't even have any defense, was it because he had no plan?

No, because there is nothing to guard against in Qingzhou today.

Officers and soldiers? Even the Qingzhou Thorn History is now shrinking in Linzi, where is there anything to be afraid of?

But now, this habit is killing him...

The strong in the army have climbed the city wall at this time, and many are even on the ladder, leaving almost all of them old and weak women and children, except for a few strong. With such a group of people, do you want to resist Yan Shao's more than 1,000 soldiers and horses like wolves and tigers? Even if you just think about it on your knees, you know that this is impossible.

Especially the two fierce generals led by the official army, after rushing into the army, it was like entering a no-man's land, and there was almost no enemy under his hands, even if a few small leaders under the leader wanted to rush up to stop them, they were almost solved in three or two clicks, not only failed to stop the other party, but made the morale drop a lot.

At the head of the city, seeing that the defenders above were getting fewer and fewer, Wang De was already desperate.

But looking at the military horse that suddenly appeared under the city wall, it actually killed the group of Yellow Turban Army in a blink of an eye, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted loudly to boost morale.

The defenders at the head of the city also noticed this scene, and their morale skyrocketed instantly, summoning up the last trace of strength.

On the other hand, the Yellow Turban Army that has already attacked has suffered a sharp drop in morale, and under the elimination of the other, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans that have been attacked have been driven down.

In the final analysis, this is also the weakness of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban on the city wall, although the city has been attacked, but the defenders in the city are not just the slightest strength to fight back. It's just that there is an endless stream of Qingzhou yellow turbans on the city wall, but the defenders in the city are so few that they can't last long.

Originally, if it was delayed for a while and a half, the hopeless defenders in the city were afraid that they would soon collapse, but at this time, Yan Shao's soldiers and horses were killed, and they happened to kill those Qingzhou yellow scarves outside the city by surprise.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban outside the city didn't even hold out for too long, and it had already collapsed, and the leader of the Yellow Turban was even beheaded by Guan Hai with a big knife when he challenged Guan Hai.

When Guan Hai carried the leader's head and shouted as if he was showing off his might, the gang of yellow turbans completely collapsed...

―――――――――――― Dividing Lines――――――――――

More than 1,000 military horses under Yan Shao's command followed him to fight in the north and south, although they were not elite, they were much stronger than ordinary officers and soldiers.

In particular, many of them were family soldiers brought out by Yan Shao from Beihai, and the rest were also accepted as family soldiers by Yan Shao after the successful crusade against Zhang Liang. To put it mildly, it is no different from Yan Shao's private property, and there is naturally no need to say much about loyalty, which is also one of the reasons why Huangfu Song and other people had no opinion on Yan Shao bringing more than 1,000 military horses to Qingzhou.

After all, these more than 1,000 military horses are Yan Shao's property, what is so strange about the master taking office with his own property?

As for those soldiers, now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has just passed, the order to allow the local powerful soldiers to garrison was issued by the imperial court itself, and Yan Shao had just fed the ten permanent servants, so naturally no one would come to the door to find trouble.

With these more than 1,000 military horses, it was easy to defeat those yellow turbans.

Seeing that the group of military horses outside the city defeated the Yellow Turban, Wang De was overjoyed, and regardless of the fatigue on his body, he ordered the city gate defenders to open the gate, and then took some officials out of the city in person.

When he saw Yan Shao, although he was surprised by Yan Shao's age, he was still grateful.

"Thank you hero, if it weren't for the hero's help, I'm afraid that I, the people of the city, would have been poisoned by the yellow turban thief..."

This Wang De is almost as old as Yan Shao, how could Yan Shao sit on horseback, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted to help Wang De up. "Where is it, Shao, as an official of the imperial court, encountered such a troubled era on the way to office, how could he ignore it? This is just Shao's duty..."

"Oh?" Looking at Yan Shao, Wang De couldn't help asking. "I wonder where the hero lives now?"

It's no wonder that Wang De would ask this, it's really that Yan Shao is too young, and he looks like he is only in his early twenties. Although he was grateful to Yan Shao before, he also thought that he was a child of a certain family, and it was just the way.

Yan Shao smiled slightly, and before he could speak, Guan Hai next to him had already taken the lead in answering. "My son-in-law is the newly appointed Beihai Taishou..."Although Guan Hai did not deliberately make a loud noise, with the blood stained on his body, he still looked terrifying.

After listening to Guan Hai's answer, Wang De was also really surprised.

Taishou, you must know that Taishou is not just a level higher than his county order, but a real prince. Yan Shao was able to hold the position of Taishou at such an age, which made Wang Deyun more respectful at the same time.

After all, Gaotang is just a county, where can it compare to Yan Shao, the county guard, even if Yan Shao, the Beihai Taishou, can't control him, etiquette should also be there, not to mention that the other party is still his savior.

"The county order doesn't have to be so polite..."Yan Shao hurriedly helped Wang De up and said with a smile. Yan's appointment this time was originally to exterminate the remnants of the local Yellow Turbans, benefit the local people, and live up to His Majesty's kindness.

Naturally, there is one thing that Yan Shao will never tell Wang De, that is, he has actually arrived near Gaotang early, and it can be said that he watched the Yellow Turban rebel army besiege the city, and he didn't do it until the rebel army boarded the city wall.

If it weren't for Yan Shao's bad intentions, three or four thousand yellow scarves, although not much, are definitely not a small number. If you have a clear battle, it may be okay to defeat it, but it will be more difficult to defeat the opponent easily.

Even if it succeeds in the end, I am afraid that it will cost many casualties.

These are all his family soldiers, which is his biggest reliance now, although it is impossible to fight without dying, but for the people who meet in Pingshui, they are so desperate, Yan Shao is not so old-fashioned after all.

Of course, the siege of Gaotang can't help but help, after all, watching a group of yellow turbans besieging the city, but he is watching from the wall, if this matter spreads, I am afraid that he, the Beihai Taishou, will be despised by the whole Qingzhou.

Then the rest of the matter is simple, not only to solve the siege of Gaotang, but also to minimize the losses.

Therefore, Yan Shao dragged it to the Yellow Turban siege, and it was several sieges, until the Qingzhou Yellow Turban outside the city was almost wiped out, and the Gaotang defenders could hardly defend it anymore, so Guan Hai and Sun Guan led the troops to kill them.

In this way, the battle was successful, the old and weak outside the city could not resist at all, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, which had climbed the ladder and even the city wall, was even more dilemma, and Yan Shao only paid a very small price, and completely defeated the three or four thousand Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, so that Gao Tang was grateful to himself...

"Yan Taishou is really young and promising, and he is really ashamed of the old man..."Thinking about Yan Shao, he is already a Taishou in his early twenties, and he is almost fifty, but he is still a county magistrate, Wang De is really a little blushing." Now that a banquet has been set up in the city, please keep the light..."

This is a must-have, after all, people just saved your life in the whole city, and you are the Taishou of Beihai County, so it is reasonable to at least set up a banquet to entertain you.

Of course, Yan Shao would not refuse this, and smiled at Wang Dekuanhe. "Shao is from Luoyang, I just feel a little tired, thank you Wang County..."

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

Although Gao Tang had just encountered the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the style of the banquet had not been reduced at all, and the banquet was full of delicacies, and neither Wang De nor the rich people in the city who went to the banquet seemed to feel that there was anything wrong.

Yan Shao sneered in his heart, but he did not refuse the toast of others.

As for Guan Hai, Sun Guan and Zhang Ning, they were arranged by Yan Shao in a corner position, Guan Hai was very happy about this, after all, he hadn't drunk for a long time along the way, even Sun Guan had a good drink, and only Zhang Ning was eating food in small bites, and looked at Yan Shao with his eyes from time to time.

Just when the atmosphere at the banquet was hot, Wang De, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly walked over with a box in his hand.

Yan Shao put down the wine cup, and Wang De was already smiling. "Taishou saved my life in the whole city of Gaotang, this is a small courtesy, please don't dislike it." As he spoke, he had opened the box, which contained pieces of gold cake one after another.

These are collectively donated by the wealthy families in the city, although the number is not much, there are more than 100 gold, after all, they are the county guards of Beihai, and they are not officials of the Tang Dynasty, and they come to help purely for morality, if they don't express themselves, wouldn't it be too unkind?

For the more than 100 gold thanks, Yan Shao did not refuse.

After all, this is what he deserves, but he did not accept it, but made a request, that is, to use this hundred gold to buy some grain from the local Gaotang.

Regarding this request, Wang De and the others frowned slightly, a little hesitant.

Now in troubled times, what is the most valuable? Grain, why did those yellow turbans come to attack Gaotang? Also for food.

Now it is the world of the family, not to mention a county guard, even if the assassin Shi comes, there is no way to force them to sell food to Yan Shao―――――― of course, if the assassin really speaks, they can't really lose face.

But Yan Shao is different from others after all, he just saved them again, if it is replaced by someone else, he will refuse if he can't say it, but if he is replaced by Yan Shao...

After discussing with the rich families behind him, Wang De nodded and agreed to Yan Shao's request.
