Chapter 43: Asking for help

Sitting in the garden, Zhang Ning looked at the butterflies that fell on the stamens not far away, sighed softly, and next to her was an unfinished embroidered handkerchief. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

This is something she has never done in the past, and since Yan Shao went to Luoyang, she has also begun to practice. In this era, female popularity is one of the essential skills of a woman, even the wife of an emperor.

Just like Mrs. Wu, who accompanies Sun Quan, she has the 'three uniques': you can weave the brocade of the dragon and phoenix with colored silk between your fingers for the 'machine master'. It is a "needle" to be able to embroider a map of the "Five Mountains of Nations" on the square silk with a needle and thread. It is also a glue silk to attack Rose light mantle is 'silk'.

Originally, she didn't have to be like this at all when she was by Yan Shao's side, and Yan Shao didn't value any female celebrities like people in this era, but as a woman in this era, Zhang Ning couldn't avoid vulgarity, not to mention that Yan Shao also needed some pastime when she was away on weekdays.

was only halfway through the embroidery, but she couldn't help but miss Yan Shao.

"I don't know how Brother Yan is now, how long will it take to return to Beihai..."Sighing softly, grabbing the embroidered handkerchief placed aside, Zhang Ning raised the needle and thread again, but he could no longer concentrate on completing the embroidered handkerchief in his hand.

It's not surprising that Yan Shao is coming back from Luoyang, and he will definitely send his family back to inform him first. Otherwise, if the county guard does not return for a long time, won't it cause a lot of chaos?

As early as seven or eight days ago, Zhang Ning had already received the news of Yan Shao's return.

It's just that the exact return time is not yet available, after all, the traffic at this time is not convenient, and the weather is unpredictable, and sometimes even an inconspicuous light rain may delay the trip. Even the family members who came back to report the news could only give an approximate time.

"Next time there is such a thing, I must accompany him..."

Almost when Zhang Ning made up his mind, he saw a servant girl suddenly running in from outside, and said with a happy face. "Miss, my lord, he's back!"

Zhang Ning stood up with a look of surprise and looked at the maidservant.

At the gate of Beihai City, it is now crowded with people who have heard the news, including both the people in the city and some families in Beihai. Although Yan Shao has not been in office for a long time, he is very popular in Beihai.

One is Yan Shao, a native of Beihai, who is regarded as his own by the local people.

The two Qingzhou yellow turbans are rampant, not to mention Le'an, Pingyuan and other counties, and even Beihai County is occasionally affected. However, since Yan Shao took office, he has almost swept away the Yellow Turbans in Beihai, and has also performed a lot of good governance, especially the captured Yellow Turbans to build roads and canals, etc., which have brought many benefits to the local people in Beihai, and naturally they will not be ostracized.

Of course, so many people came to welcome him, which also delayed Yan Shao's return to the mansion for nearly half an hour.

Standing in front of the door and looking at the crowd slowly coming in the distance, Zhang Ning was both a little nervous and a little expectant.

Now it has been almost a month and a half since Yan Shao left Beihai, and since Zhang Ning left Quyang with Yan Shao, she has not been separated for such a long time, how could she not miss it.

If it weren't for the fact that she was surrounded by people and had read a lot of books lately, she would have already rushed past.

It's just that...

'Tear up'

Looking at the Qianying who was supported by Yan Shao and got off the carriage, Zhang Ning tore the silk handkerchief in his hand in half.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

Thousands of yellow turbans braved the rain of arrows to cross the moat and set up ladders on their shoulders on the walls. The river was already dyed crimson by now, and the moat was full of Yellow Turban soldiers who had been shot to death, some of whom had been shot in the process of crossing the moat, and some of whom had been thrown into the moat by their companions as stepping stones after being shot by arrows...

Some of them weren't even dead, they were thrown down because they were wounded, and the terrible wails and curses were still so piercing and chilling even on the battlefield where arrows rained down.

However, for the rest of the yellow scarves, human nature is too extravagant...

Hiding behind the shield and looking at the yellow scarves that poured up like an ant colony below, Wang Xuan's face was colorless.

Strictly speaking, he is not the Taishou of Le'an County, the real Taishou of Le'an County is Lu Kang Lu Jining, this person is Lu Ji's father, that is, the protagonist of Huai Tangerine Lu Lang, one of the twenty-four filial pieties, the one who was sprayed with saliva by Zhuge Liang.

Congsun is Lu Xun, one of the most famous arsonists of the Three Kingdoms period.

It's just that Emperor Ling wants to cast bronze people, and taxes are greatly increased, and the people are poor. Lu Kang was mistaken by the eunuchs for slandering Shengming, but fortunately, after Liu Dai carefully studied the text, he explained that he could only be dismissed and returned to his hometown.

During this period, Wang Xuan managed Le'an County on his behalf.

Originally, Wang Xuan thought that he was coming after all the hardships and no longer used others as his deputy, but he didn't expect that not long after Lu Kang was taken away, the yellow scarf came, and he, the acting county guard, was trapped in the city.

"This yellow scarf, why didn't you come earlier!"

Not to mention that Wang Xuan was cursing over there, at this time, a young general ran over with a sweat.

"My lord, the yellow scarf in the north has crossed the moat and is now climbing the city wall..."

Hearing this, the last bit of color on Wang Xuan's face disappeared. "I and you are fifty men, and we must not let those thieves climb the city wall." Obviously, he also knew what the result would be if he let the thieves go up the city wall.

The young general nodded and took the order.

Not long after, there was a loud sound of killing in the direction of the north, Wang Xuan looked over, and thought that the yellow turban had already climbed the city wall, but fortunately, it didn't take long for someone to come and report that the yellow turban who had climbed the city wall had been killed.

In fact, there is no need for Wang Xuan to meddle in things, and the soldiers in the city also know very well what will happen if they are climbed on the city wall by the yellow scarves below―――――― you must know that there are many yellow scarves below in the past, which are actually no different from them.

Therefore, when fighting, absolutely no one will cheat and cheat.

It's just that...

"My lord, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that this city won't last long..." Seeing that the yellow scarf below gradually retreated, a general on the side said with a solemn expression instead of relaxing on his face.

"So what to do?" This Wang Xuan was originally a civilian official, but he was temporarily replaced before the next county guard came, where there are so many ideas, and there is not much difference from a headless fly.

"For the sake of today, it is best to ask for reinforcements, so that this crisis can be resolved..."

I thought I could hear some good strategy, but I didn't expect it to be such a clichΓ©, although it was still colorless, Wang Xuan still didn't have a good feeling. "Don't you know about me, it's just that there are yellow scarves everywhere now, and the state family can hardly do anything except pray for God's blessing, even if it is asked, what is the use?"

There is no way, it is really that Qingzhou Thorn History is too incompetent, and even this Wang Xuan knows that the state family can't count on it at all.

However, the general actually didn't count on the state family, and when he saw Wang Xuan complaining there, he hurriedly whispered in his ear. "There's really no hope on the state side, but......... There's one over there in the North Sea..."

"Beihai?"

"I heard that today's Beihai County Taishou once personally beheaded the Yellow Turban leader Bu in Cangting, and made many meritorious deeds, and thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, all of them are tigers, if he can ask for help, the danger of Le'an can be solved..."

Yan Shao's name has already spread in Qingzhou with the killing of yellow scarves several times, and now that Le'an is in crisis, the first thing he thinks of is Yan Shao.

"This..."Asking for help from other counties, this is definitely a shameful thing, Wang Xuan was a little embarrassed for a while.

"My lord, don't hesitate any longer, if you hesitate, Le'an is in danger..."Seeing that Wang Xuan was still hesitating, the general persuaded bitterly.

"It's just that Yan Shao has no contact with us, so he thinks so rashly, will he really send troops?" It's no wonder that Wang Xuan would be suspicious, after all, the two are not related to each other, and Wang Xuan would not agree if it were Wang Xuan.

The general was also silent.

At this time, an official next to him hurriedly said. "If you let someone come to help for nothing, it may not be, but if the adults are willing to give some benefits to Yan Taishou, maybe you can invite this person."

It's just that as soon as these words came out, the officials present looked at each other, after all, this meant that they were spending money to hire someone to help. Wang Xuan was also a little hesitant, but he seemed to remember the appearance of the yellow scarf under the city wall who was not afraid of death, and finally made up his mind after hesitating for a while. "In this case, I will send someone to Beihai to ask Yan Taishou to send troops to rescue."
