Chapter 3 Troubled Times Descend Section 60 The will of the people is available

Our meeting had to come to an end - three waves of men were sent in succession in the hope of saving Liu Hun's life and death.

Sitting in the cabin, I felt my muscles constrict, and my chest felt like a stone blocking my breath. The anxiety in my heart made me restless. I got up anxiously and frequently, and I couldn't stop going to the cabin door to watch the sky, hoping that the three waves of people could save Liu Hun in time. I'm like a screw with a slippery tooth--- in a hurry.

Gao Shun and Zhang He comforted me empathetically, and talked to me about the situation after parting, of course, by the way, they also talked about the current situation of master Wang Yue. I couldn't fully engage in the conversation, and I didn't talk to them a word.

In the dreary atmosphere, one of the guards entered the hatch and reported: "City Lord, it is almost noon, and the people are gathering more and more, and the contestants from all over the country who need to be received by the lord in the afternoon have also come with their village elders, and are waiting in the boat next to them. ”

Oh, I forgot, there's a whole bunch of people waiting for me out there.

Gao Shun and Zhang He looked at me worriedly, and Gao Shun said softly: "Lord, do you want to see you another day." ”

I waved my hand and motioned for the guards to send the people aboard. At the same time, he turned his head to the two Ma Han commanders and instructed: "Two, your family can increase the troops in Izumo in advance without time restrictions, so let's do it, the two of you quickly go to arrange for the family to go to help, I hope that at the end of August, the two family members will land in Izumo, and after the family members change their clothes, I hope they will be transferred to Qingzhou in early September, and after I reorganize the Qingzhou soldiers, in February next year, they will be transferred back to Izumo." Time is of the essence, you two, let's go now. ”

This is the distress of the superiors, others only see the scenery that is supported by all the people, and they know that this is a little bit of energy and painstaking efforts, time and sweat, and hard work accumulation, and they can't even have the time they are worried about.

This meeting with the people was planned by me for a long time, and after a few years away from Izumo, my influence and familiarity with the people were gradually decreasing. In order for the people to truly feel my presence, I had to do something - to make my wife tour the land, and by the way to give her the power to pardon criminals, although it was high-sounding, but in fact it was to restore her influence; The meeting with the people from all over the world was also based on the idea that through their mouths, I could learn about the situation in Izumo's various regions, and by the way, let the people feel my power and exert my influence on them.

Grasping the army with one hand and the public opinion with the other, this is how Old Man Mao laid down the country. I thought to comfort myself.

It was noon, and the first to be summoned were Izumo Castle Zaohua Street and Izumo Castle Short Knife Road; Leting City; Representatives of the public (meritorious) people in the three places of Luanyang City. As soon as these terrified people entered the door, some of them immediately prostrated at my feet, some bowed respectfully and bowed, and some made a fist with their right hands and beat their chests loudly in a military salute.

Those who have bowed and saluted looked at those who knelt down with contempt, their eyes full of disdain.

"Get up," I bowed my head and said to the kneeling people with a pleasant face, "In the Izumo realm, it is not fashionable to bow down. Here, kneeling is only for the emperor, the deceased, and the gods. I'm not one of the three, so hurry up. ”

As I spoke, I pointed to the kneeling men and asked their companions, "Are they all new residents?" ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, I suddenly nodded at Gao Shun and Zhang He: "No wonder." ”

However, I was surprised to be able to obtain citizenship shortly after I arrived: "It seems that you are all a wonderful group of people, tell me, what are your good skills?" I walked over to the senator's chair in the cabin, sat down comfortably, and asked those who knelt down as softly as I could.

"Back to ......, back to ......" An old man who looked to be in his 50s replied to me tremblingly, but for a while, he didn't know what to call me, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stuck there.

I stared at the other meritorious badges on his chest, smiled and comforted, and said, "Don't worry, speak slowly, since you have citizenship, you can call me 'lord' or 'city lord'." Call yourself a 'minor', or, just call yourself a 'contemptible person' - citizens, you have that qualification. ”

"Lord", the man in his fifties muttered this word, tears suddenly flowed down, and he replied in a choked voice: "Lord, Xiaomin's surname is Zhang, ranked third, others call me Zhang San, Xiaomin will be good at farm work, this year he defected to Izumo from Jizhou and was placed in Leting City." The villagers we resettled with saw me as old and asked me to be the leader of the team and organize everyone to replant crops. At the time of this year's harvest, Xiaomin's team had the first crop harvest in Leting County. The prefectural order reported the matter of the small people to Izumo, and when Takado Xiangguo found out, he said, "Izumo is in the period of military management, and the leader of the homeless squad is also considered a military member, and since there is such a good harvest, it can also be regarded as a military merit." ”

"Yes, during the **** period, it is really a great military feat to be able to organize the villagers to replant crops, and there is no failure in the grain", I nodded at him again and again: "Come on, take my cup and reward him with a glass of wine." ”

With a cup full of heroic blood, I walked over and gave it to the old farmer with my own hand, and said in a serious voice: "Izumo law, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and faults must be investigated, you will be rewarded for your merits, but you must obey the law and be an example for the people." I toast you with a glass of wine and wish you a better crop next year.

However, the land is sometimes poor, and it is impossible for the harvest to increase indefinitely from year to year. If you have a good harvest, it is nothing, and there are many hungry people in the world, so a good harvest is what I hope for. Next year, I hope you will learn a few words, know a few numbers, and write down the reasons and methods for your good harvest, and pass them on, which is also a great achievement. Remember, remember. ”

Zhang San held my wine glass tremblingly, and tears dripped into the wine glass. An old peasant who has never been taken seriously can actually get a toast from the city lord himself, and his heart is filled with great joy, his body is shaking, and he needs the support of the people around him to stand firm.

Seeing that he couldn't say a word and swallowed the wine with difficulty, I reached out and took the wine glass, and added: "Zhang San, this name is not good, I'll give you a name, well, call it Zhang Cheng." I wish you all the best of luck, as long as you work hard, you can do everything. As for the word, let's call it Paradise, you planted crops in Rakutei and achieved a good harvest, I hope you and I will work together to build Izumo into a paradise on earth. Zhang Cheng Zhang Letu, go back and tell the magistrate your new name and ask him to re-register. ”

Zhang Cheng's honor touched the surrounding villagers, and then, under my inquiry, those villagers who had kneeled excitedly reported their names and deeds one by one, hoping to get my favor. These people, either with a skill or organizational talent, I will praise them one by one. From time to time, they were rewarded with a glass of wine.

After all the villagers who had knelt down had finished asking, I secretly praised myself in my heart: After I left for so long, Takashi Takashi Takashi did a really good job in Izumo, and truly implemented my proposition - no matter how high or low you are, as long as you work hard, you will be recognized and gain an identity and status commensurate with your efforts. These people are the role models of those who come after them, and if our nascent regime can maintain such upward vitality, there will be hope for our nation.

Thinking of this, I have a deeper understanding of the importance of repelling Xianbei next year and defending the fruits of our construction.

"The people's hearts are available," I nodded at Gao Shun and pointed to the map hanging in the cabin, reinforcing their determination to defend Izumo.

Gao Shun Zhang He understood what I meant, tightened his hand on the saber on his waist, and nodded in response through gritted teeth.

"Come", after settling the new villagers, I beckoned to gather the meritorious people who bowed to me and saluted me: "Come to me, you people, at first glance are my old men, I am back, what are you doing so far away from me, come to me." There weren't so many chairs in the cabin, so you sat on the deck. Stay close to me. ”

When these old Izumo saw that I was so kind, they gathered around and sat on the deck. Turning around, I greeted the newcomers by the way: "Come and sit down."

A representative of the citizens of Izumo Zaohua Street stepped forward, respectfully holding a tray and offering me a gift.

The red cloth on the tray was lifted, and the gifts on the tray were revealed: a few dates, a salmon, a handful of corn, and a few chestnuts.

A burst of tears welled up - early (jujube) return (salmon) hometown (valley) (chestnut), it seems that the people of Izumo have regarded this place as their own home, and regarded me as a wanderer who has gone out here, hoping that I will return home as soon as possible.

Lowering my head, I carefully looked at the old Izumo people beside me: "Guo Yun, I remember you, you are still the first batch of people to go to Izumo with me, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are a little old." ”

Guo Yun was so excited that he wiped his tears: "Yes, I am the original Guo Dayan, and now this name was also changed for me by the city lord, city lord, you still remember me." ”

Why don't I remember, after many years, the face of my hometown gradually blurred, but I still remember that year - at the end of June of the third year of Guanghe, our group of 31 boats, 600 boys, 500 soldiers, 120 ironworkers and apprentices, 400 farmers, 32 shipbuilders, 4 painters and 34 women carried 55 horses and 21 oxen ashore, this day, has been unforgettable.

"Do you remember, at the end of June in the third year of Guanghe, it was really cold that winter, we had no city walls, no army to protect us, the entire western Liaoxi, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and I couldn't see a single figure for a few days. At that time, I went to Liaodong to discuss with Gongsun Taishou about borrowing land and grain to resettle the displaced people, and I remember that you were also an accompanying soldier. ”

"Yes", I had to remind him, and Guo Yun also fell into memory: "That winter was really cold." ”

"This year's winter will also be very cold", I interrupted Guo Yun's memories and reminded: "This year, we have 200,000 residents in Izumo and accepted 220,000 displaced people from the Central Plains, and each person has to feed one person on average. ”

Guo Yun suddenly bowed to Zhang Cheng. Seeing this, Zhang Cheng was at a loss for what to do.

I sat on the chair, looked at the familiar faces at my feet, and said worriedly: "I am in Qingzhou, and what I am most worried about is that the newcomer and the old man do not get along with each other. The old man of Izumo may think: We built Izumo like a paradise on earth, and these newcomers came and ate up our savings. I fear that the old people will be hostile to the new ones because of this.

However, have you thought of it, whether we are new or old, we are all uprooted people, we have all left our homeland, and we see Izumo as our new hometown, and everyone else calls us by the same name - Izumo people, we are all Izumo people. ”

Both newcomers and old people, when they heard my words, nodded again and again, and looked at each other cordially.

"Come, Izumo people all stretch out their hands to your companions, this is my hand, who will extend it to me?" I stretched out one hand and grabbed Guo Yun's arm, and the other hand reached out to Gao Shun: "Senior brother, hand me your hand, I need your hand, fill my arms, and we will read the 'civic oath' together, do you remember the civic oath?" ”

The people in the cabin stood up one after another, countless arms clasped in unison, and a low oath echoed in the cabin: "Let everyone who loves Izumo Castle, everyone who loves life, and everyone who longs for a prosperous life swear with their own blood that they will never violate the laws of Izumo, nor will they tolerate the offense of others against the laws;

Let everyone who loves Izumo City, everyone who loves life, and everyone who longs for a rich life swear with their own blood: cherish their own honor as they cherish their own land;

Let everyone who loves Izumo City, everyone who loves life, and everyone who longs for a prosperous life swear with their own blood: protect the property of others as much as we protect our own property;

Let everyone who loves Izumo City, who loves life, who desires the richness of life, swear with his own blood: to fulfill his obligations, in order to be commensurate with the rights he has acquired;

Let everyone who loves Izumo Castle, everyone who loves life, and everyone who longs for a prosperous life swear with their own blood: respect the rights of others, just as we expect our rights to be respected;

……”

In this way, in the afternoon of the same day, I met with the citizens under Izumo's jurisdiction in batches, and sent away the people with tears in their eyes, and finally, Zhang He also left with the crowd, and Gao Shun was forced to stay by me.

At sunset, with the side of a small boat, Liu Hun and others finally came.

From a distance, I couldn't see who was on the boat, it seemed, there was a black press on it. After the boarding permit was issued, after a while, Liu Hun's little head first rose from the side of the ship.

"Father", as soon as Liu Hun saw me, he immediately ran over, hugged my thighs and cried bitterly.

I kicked it in disgust: "Little brute, for my father's life, I hope that others will obey the law, and today for you, I stopped the military meeting, and sent people to intercede again and again, who has begged for my father's life, for you, I have destroyed the implementation of the law, if it weren't for your young and ignorant, I would have cut you today." ”

Liu Hun was kicked by me and rolled on the deck. Looking at his young body trembling, I couldn't bear it. And this is my family matter, Gao Shun is inconvenient to interfere, so he has to stand by my side silently.

A beautiful little foot appeared in front of Liu Hun - it was Huang Ying, she lowered her head and picked up Liu Hun, wiping the blood from the corner of Liu Hun's mouth with the sweat towel in her hand.

"Children's families, don't be naughty in the future." Huang Ying wiped it, and then told Liu Hun softly: "Your father-in-law beat you because he hated you." However, he still remembers you in his heart, otherwise, how could he send several waves of people to save you. You have to understand your father-in-law's intentions, and you must be obedient in the future, so as not to make your father-in-law angry. ”

Huang Ying appeared next to Liu Quan, so that I couldn't go over and beat him. I had no choice but to stand far away, panting angrily, glaring at Liu Hun fiercely, thinking in my heart how to clean him up so that he could be taught a lesson.

"Father-in-law is well, the children ask your old man to come here", the voice suddenly sounded in my ears, but it scared me, looking back, Liu Xuan (originally Liu Xuan, later changed to Liu Xuan) the second son Liu Huang, Liu Yu, Liu Hongzheng was standing on the side to salute me.

Okay, except for Liu Zhou, who went to Yizhou, my righteous sons are here, and it's not good to deal with Liu Hun anymore.

"Well, who else is in the boat, let them come up together." I paced to the side of the boat, ready to beckon the people from the boat to come up.

Looking down, the boat was slowly moving away from us. On the boat, countless black shadows saw me stretching out their heads, and they all hugged their fists and threw their hands at me, and Gao Shan's voice came from the small boat: "City Lord, your family is reunited today, I won't bother you later, tomorrow morning, we will come back to the meeting." ”

I bowed my hand to the boat that was going away, and shouted in a loud voice: "Shengping (Gao Tang Longzi), Zizheng, the young son is ignorant and violates the law, and tomorrow I will give you an explanation." ”

The boat drifted away, and there was a faint sound floating on the boat, and I couldn't hear it clearly.

Turning around, I beckoned everyone into the cabin: "Okay, today we are all a small reunion, and there are two days to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's enter the cabin and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance." ”

According to historical records, the term "Mid-Autumn Festival" first appeared in the book "Zhou Li". By the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was a record of "Yu Shangshu Town Cattle Confusion, Mid-Autumn Festival Eve and Left and Right Micro Service Panjiang". It was not until the early years of the Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. Izumo's agricultural and animal husbandry festival coincides with the Mid-Autumn season, and now, the full moon is reunited.

"Senior brother, please take a seat", I beckoned to arrange the seat.

"The distinction between primary and secondary cannot be abolished, and the lord is still seated." Gao Shun waved his hand firmly.

"Today is a family banquet, only family ceremonies, senior brother is the elder, let's take a seat." I invite Gao Shun again.

"No, the gang can't be abolished, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister is big, the family gift is small, don't force me anymore." Gao Shun resolutely rejected me.

"That being the case, senior brother sit down and I'll do it, Liu Xuan, you are the biggest among the brothers, you arrange for the brothers to sit down."

After everyone was in place, I reminded Liu Xuan: "Today is a family reunion, and I will also put a pair of dishes and chopsticks on your two brothers who are not there, so that our whole family can eat this banquet together." ”

Liu Xuan obediently placed two sets of chopsticks on the long table, I silently walked to the empty bowl of the sixth child, raised the wine bottle to the full wine, and introduced to Huang Ying: "This is my sixth son - Liu Kai." ”

When I said this, my heart ached, my eyes were slightly wet, Liu Kai's youthful face appeared in front of me, and I seemed to hear his carefree voice: "Father, we have won." ”

I held the table with one hand, and I was overwhelmed with grief, the figure of the youthful battle did not fall on the battlefield, but was killed vilely in the internal strife......

Picking up the glass with trembling hands, I struggled. Slowly spilling the wine on the ground, "Child, can you feel it in the Heavenly Spirit?" Today's holiday, you come down to have a glass of wine with your father, after many years, your father misses you, and his heart aches. ”

The white moonlight was coldly sprinkled on the sea, and I listened intently, and the waves gently lapped on the side of the ship, as if to lament—at this moment, I am a theist, and I prefer to believe that the soul is immortal, and that man is dead and knowledgeable.

"Child, you will never go back, leaving your father to suffer in this troubled world, thinking day and night, tonight, you come back, have a glass of wine with your father, and our whole family will celebrate the festival together."

I poured a full bottle of wine, took it up and drank it all, took advantage of the wine, patted Liu Hun on the shoulder and said: "Sixth son, come back and teach me a good lesson about your unsuccessful brother, who always thinks about harming others and plotting against others all day long, that has your little bit of benevolence, that has your half bit of bravery, and that has your little bit of fearlessness." ”

As I spoke, I didn't get angry, stretched out my hand to lift Liu Hun, and said to Huang Ying: "Madam, I forgot to introduce you, this is Liu Bei's most unsuccessful son, Liu Hun." ”

After speaking, I threw Liu Hun onto the chair, looked at him crying, and scolded coldly: "Wipe the tears and nose clean, the man bleeds without tears, look at your wretch." Today, I will not punish you, but tomorrow, you will be flogged on deck, so that everyone knows that even if you are young and have made mistakes, you still dare to take responsibility. ”

Liu Hun nodded tearfully in agreement. Huang Ying asked worriedly: "Xianggong, he is a child, and he can withstand a few whips." ”

Gao Shun interjected: "Izumo law, tart is no more than ten, children, halve." ”

"It's okay", I nodded and agreed: "Liu Xuan, you come to execute, see how you learn from Lord Gao Yuanting, remember, don't let people laugh at us for favoritism." ”

Then, I introduced a few Yizi to Huang Ying one by one. Of course, the senior brother Gao Shun was also introduced.

In the sound of the waves, we finished the family banquet with all our heart's content.

The next day, Takayama and others boarded the ship, and we continued our meeting. At noon, in full view of everyone, Liu Hun accepted the whipping, and when the punishment was completed, Yin Dong personally dressed Liu Hun's wounds.

"The rebel son is stubborn and brings trouble to you, and in the future, I will take him with me and discipline him personally." In the face of Gao Tanglong and frustration, I solemnly promise.

Gao Tanglong didn't even dare to admit it, frowned in frustration, sighed deeply, and no longer insisted.

"It's noon, everyone, how about you eat and then leave?" I recommend.

"The world is big, and the food is the biggest", Gao Shan played a round field: "Go back to the cabin to eat, my lord, it's just right, I have something for you." ”

"What?" I questioned.

Gao Shan squeezed his eyes at Yin Dong, and Yin Dong immediately understood, pulled Gao Tanglong and the others to the side of the boat, greeted the people who were being tortured outside the boat, and signaled them to disperse.

Immediately, as if by magic, Takayama took out a number of small ball-shaped fruits the size of cherries from his pocket and handed them to me. The small fruit, green emerald green, purple and purple, yellow golden yellow, red bright red, raised to the tip of the nose, so spicy.

Takayama asked playfully, "Guess what this is?" ”

"Colorful cherry peppers" I asked again and again in surprise: "Where did you get it?" Are there seeds? Did Izumo plant? ”

Colorful cherry pepper is a Japanese specialty, the fruit is round and spherical, bright red like a cherry when ripe, the fruit has no cavity, strong spicy taste, and rich fragrance. The multicolored cherry pepper plant is only 50 to 80 centimeters tall, and its fruit has a capsaicin content nearly 10 times higher than that of ordinary peppers. The tender fruit is bright green and is used for vegetables. The old fruit is processed from dried chili pepper and chili powder, which is a good condiment. At the same time, in addition to the fruit for eating, the colorful cherry pepper plant also has ornamental value, because of its different veraison period, the fruit on the same plant is divided into green, purple, yellow, bright red and other colors, and the flowers and fruits are the same plant, extremely beautiful.

In addition, the colorful cherry pepper has strong regeneration, wide adaptability, heat resistance, waterlogging resistance and low temperature resistance; There is no choice for the soil, and potted plants in the courtyard and balcony can be used, and the management technology is simpler than that of ordinary peppers, and there are no pests and diseases. The yield per mu can reach 1500 kg. If we grow this plant widely, it will undoubtedly be the best cash crop in the Han Dynasty, where condiments are scarce, and it will bring rich benefits to our farmers.

"These are from South Korea, King Han heard that we are collecting plant seeds everywhere, so he brought these to me, and when I came to your meeting today, I knew that I was going to have lunch, and I brought these to you by the way." Immediately, Takayama leaned close to my ear and said in a low voice: "Boss, how long has it been since I had a good meal, we are optimistic about the officials of Izumo City for you, how about you cook and cook a good meal to entertain us?" ”

I replied in a low voice: "Lao Gao, this is a seed, what a pity to eat it in your stomach?" ”

"Don't worry," Takayama comforted me and said, "This thing has been planted in the nursery, and besides, I have hoeed all the flowers in your house, and planted this thing in the open space, you must like it." ”

"You go to die," I viciously snatched the cherry pepper and admonished: "It doesn't matter to others, you take a good look at Fu Zhu and Gao Tanglong, don't let them go to the kitchen." ”

"Don't worry" Gao Shan turned his head and greeted Yin Dong: "Great Pope, please send one of your disciples to the cabin with the lord to inspect Liu Hun's injuries." ”

Yin Dong pretended to send a disciple into the cabin with me, and I rushed into the kitchen.

Ah, I've been fighting for two years to eat peanuts, and now, it's been another two years, and I've eaten spicy, dear chili, it's been a long time.

After the meal was ready, the mermaids poured into the cabin. Smelling the special fragrance, Gao Tanglong frowned, walked directly to me, stretched out his nose and sniffed my clothes vigorously.

Bad things, I stared at Yin Dong and Gao Shan, anxiously and frequently. Gao Shan immediately understood, and pretended to be surprised and shouted: "Oh, lord, how can you use this thing after you have researched it, congratulations, the blessing of the people." ”

The frustration was apt to ask: "What is the blessing of the people?" ”

Without waiting for Gao Tanglong to speak, Gao Shan hurriedly explained: "This thing was given to me by King Han, it is said to be a plant, I gave it to the lord, I hope the lord can study how to use it." If the lord researches it, let's taste it first, and if it's delicious, Izumo will popularize planting, and then sell it to the Central Plains, and it will not benefit the people. ”

Yin Dong also hurriedly helped: "Let me taste it, if it is really delicious, the lord will write out the processing method, and I will thank the lord for the blessing of the people." ”

The two of them helped each other one after another, and Gao Tanglong didn't want to say anything like "gentleman is far away from cooking", and returned to the seat with a gloomy face.

When he heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "Jingshi Luoyang is praising the lord's 'respecting the teacher's goose' for its deliciousness, and today I am blessed to eat the meal cooked by the lord himself, which can be regarded as being in the same column as Lu Gong." ”

Gao Tanglong asked in surprise: "What 'respecting the teacher'?" ”

Fu Zhi stretched out his hand to take the chopsticks, and explained: "Lu Zhigong was ordered to suppress the bandits, and surrounded the bandit Shou Zhangjiao in Guangping, but unfortunately, Lu Zhigong refused the bribe of the lieutenant and was framed by the eunuch and taken into the threshold car. This goose, Luoyang people all say that it is 'respecting the teacher'. It is said that Lu Gong, who had eaten it, and the forbidden army who escorted it were full of praise when they mentioned this goose, saying that it was a delicacy in the world. ”

Gao Tang was silent for a long time, and suddenly bowed to me, saying: "Long pedantic, food is ancient, what is wrong with a gentleman entering the kitchen, if you respect the teacher, if you love the people, this is what you do with sincerity and benevolence." Long, the rotten Confucian, did not dare to mislead the lord with a shallow view. ”

I stretched out my hand to pick up Takado Takashi and respectfully returned the salute: "Brother Shengping, after I left, you supported the overall situation for me in Izumo, and now, Izumo's prosperity depends on your hard work, and cooking a meal for you can be regarded as a reward for you, and I hope that Brother Shengping will work more hard in the future." ”

I went to heart disease, and this meal was extraordinarily happy. From then on, every noon, the officials attending the military meeting were naturally reluctant to leave, and even the Izumo civil officials had to come to the ship for lunch if they had anything to do. Fortunately, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu escorted Huang Ying around the patrol, otherwise, there would not be enough food to eat.

Of course, the rest of the lunch was no longer my own, and the trained cooks were already in good hands, and the officials ate with great peace of mind.

In the joy of reunion after a long absence, I lingered. By mid-September, I had to go back to Qingzhou. Tian Feng sent news that the yellow scarves of Taishan County suddenly attacked Qi County like crazy, and the striker had entered Le'an. Fortunately, the Mahan soldiers who came to the aid blocked the frenzied attack of the Yellow Turbans, and it is said that the Mahan soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

I know that at this time, the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao is about to pass away. After the crops were harvested, the Yellow Turban Army tasted the bitter fruit of not farming, there was no grain and grass in the field, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were so hungry that they had to shrink their defense lines and gather their troops, hoping to capture a county town before winter and survive the harsh winter.

With 1,000 thunder riders and 1,000 wolf riders, I quickly returned to the sea, and after landing in Qingzhou, I rushed to Le'an non-stop, and at the same time, ordered Guangrao's 6,000 foot soldiers to march westward, and met the yellow turban head-on at the border of Bochang County.
