Chapter Eighty-Three: The Rebellion in Yuxian County
Xu Chu returned the sword to Gao Gan and sighed: "After all, it is a foreigner, and it is just a way to meet the soldiers and horses of Qiaodong County." Without the invitation of the county order, I dare not trespass. ”
Although Gao Gan was young, he followed Yuan Shao in Kyoto for a long time, and he knew the doorways of officialdom very well. He thought for a moment, and immediately understood the obstacle, but he didn't say a word, beckoned his entourage to get out of the tent and get on the horse, and hurried to the county seat of Yuxian.
After Gao Gan left, Xu Chu became a little upset, thinking that Gao Gan had governed and merged the state for Yuan Shao in history, and he was very good in military and civil affairs, and he must be a person with hills and valleys in his chest; Then the Yuxian Order is tantamount to getting a strong reinforcement to help him resist the Yellow Turban Thief, in this way, will there be no helpless help for his own help, Xu Chu is not good at judging.
However, things greatly exceeded Xu Chu's expectations, and an hour later, the scouts sent earlier reported that the Yellow Turban thieves who had gathered in the east of Yu County had multiplied several times in one day, and they were densely packed in the mountains and fields, slowly heading towards Yu County.
Xu Chu, who was reading the book to calm his mind, heard the report and threw the book on the ground.
Xi Zhong blackened his face and called Xu Chu a few times, "Lord ......"
Xu Chu reacted and ordered the account to be raised.
The number of Yellow Turban thieves doubled overnight, and it must have been the homeless people in the vicinity who came to follow after hearing the news. Xu Chu knew that he did not have the order to let Huang Shao recruit more people, so it was obvious that there were only two possibilities: one was that Huang Shao betrayed him, and simply pulled up the banner to be the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu Commander; The other is that although Huang Shao enjoys a good reputation among the Taiping Daoists, he can't control He Yi's subordinates who fled to Chenliu because he surrendered to Xu Chu or other reasons.
Either way, the situation was out of Xu Chu's control.
The spark that Xi Zhong said can start a prairie fire has been confirmed in a very short time. What is self-reaping, Xu Chu has experienced it personally.
However, everything is still difficult to say, and before agreeing to meet Huang Shao's people, Xu Chu did not easily make up his mind.
Before the tea was opened, all the generals in the battalion, including Dian Wei, came to the tent. Xu Chu assigned personnel, led by Xi Zhong, led an army, led Zhang Gu, Zhang Wu, and Li Ping, a total of 1,000 foot soldiers, ready to go at any time. He himself, together with Dian Wei, commanded the Tiger Guard Battalion of 500 people.
After working in the camp for a long time, all the soldiers were ready to be on standby, and the envoy of the county order finally came outside the camp, and he was still a high-ranking cadre. Gao Gan's face was pale, and he finally bowed slightly to Xu Chu, and said: "The Yellow Turban Thief is already powerful, and it is difficult to resist with the power of Yu County, so please ask Xu Taishou to help." "What followed, there was a letter from Gao Xuan, the commander of the county.
Xu Chu looked at it hastily, nodded heavily, and said: "That is the case, Xu Chu has no distractions, and he should be a thief for the court!" ”
He also said to Gao Gan: "In the past, Xu Chu fought with He Yi and Huang Shao, the giant thieves of Yingchuan Yellow Turbans. However, it was suggested that Xi Zhong's men and horses go directly to the county seat to help Gao Xuan resist the frontal attack of the Yellow Turban, and he and Dian Wei returned to the flank of the Yellow Turban, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Gao Gan thought for a moment and agreed: "Just follow Xu Taishou's words." "Since immediately returning to the county government of Yu County, Gao Xuan has returned.
Xu Chu ordered all the people and was about to pull out the camp, when another fast horse flew in, but it was Lejin.
Xi Zhonghu looked at Le Jin suspiciously, and said in his heart: Le Wenqian is in the main army of the Changshe, how could he come here? What a masterpiece he is, what happened in the past few days is the right one, and he thought of a possibility, so he turned his head to look at Xu Chu: I don't know if it was the lord's secret arrangement. So as soon as Le Jin got off the horse, Xi Zhong pulled him aside.
Seeing this, Xu Chu knew that most of the drama Zhong knew it. Then he went in with Xi Zhong and Le to a secluded place and listened to the music into the report.
Le Jin hurried away in the starry night, his expression was slightly aggrieved, and his expression was quite anxious.
"Lord, drama king. Wei Cao Peng Zaojun ordered his subordinates to report that Huang Shao and his 200 subordinates were transferred by Hu Cao to transport grain and grass, and they disappeared in the north of Yanling County. ”
Xi Zhong was speechless for a while, but looked at Xu Chu. Xu Chuqiang calmed down and said, "I know." Since Wen Qian is here, he is not in a hurry to go back, and I will arrange for others to report back to the county. ”
Le Jin received the order, Xi Zhong raised his eyes to look at the sky, and after a long time of silence, he said: "Lord, the matter has come to this, and I can't hesitate anymore." ”
On the side, Lejin was confused, but Xu Chu was awe-inspiring. In the current situation, he can only kill the killer. If Huang Shao was just coerced and forced to be helpless, if conditions permitted, he still hoped that Huang Shao could return to him safely. But if the situation does not allow it, even if Huang Shao is just coerced by He Yi's subordinates, he will have no choice but to be ruthless.
On the bright side, no matter what the situation is, he was able to enter Yu County and have a chance to take Yu County.
Xu Chu sighed secretly, "Zhicai, without further ado, let's go." ”
......., when I heard that the Yellow Turban Thief was coming, the people of Yu County fled when they heard the news, and the black pressure squeezed to the county seat. So outside the county seat of Yuxian County, the yellow scarf has not yet arrived, and it is already ten rooms and nine empty. The Yellow Turban has developed to the present, and the teachings of Taiping Tao have long become 'empty talk', and everyone's only belief is the three words 'live'.
This yellow scarf in the east of Yuxian County, to put it bluntly, has no goal or ambition at all, it is just a cry that erupts in the dark world. They had no intention of occupying the county, and the displaced people who came from it only thought about whether they could eat another full meal. He Yi's subordinates, of course, only planned to rob some people and grab some food, just to do what they should do in winter in advance.
Before the outbreak of war, there was a deathly silence.
Nearly half a thousand thieves stayed on a plain in the east of Yu County, surprisingly quiet. A man rode out of the column and raised his whip and pointed at Yu County. So the people, who couldn't get enough to eat, brandished farm tools and weapons, and roared and rushed to Yuxian.
When the Yellow Turban attacked, Xi Zhonggang came to the county government of Yuxian County with his troops, and the county commander Gao Xuan had ordered the county lieutenant to take the county guards, and the people mobilized by the local pavilion and township to guard by the rammed earth city wall.
After exchanging names, Xi Zhong asked Gao Xuan, "What about Gao Yuancai?" ”
Gao Xuan sighed: "I have already followed the county lieutenant to the front line!" ”
Xi Zhong hurriedly said: "Remind the county monarch that Gao Yuancai is Yuan Sili's confidant, how can he be allowed to put himself in danger!" "Once the senior cadres have three strengths and two weaknesses, it is not a good thing for Xu Chu, after all, he is the messenger who sent a letter to Xu Chu for Yuan Shao.
Gao Xuan was depressed and said: "What can I do, Gao Yuancai is proud of his martial arts, and he can't stop it!" ”
Xi Zhong shook his head and said no more, this Gao Xuan hiding in the county government is a sign of timidity in itself, Gao Xuan is a mediocre person, but it is very beneficial to Xu Chu.
He hurriedly marched with his troops, and met a knight on the way, but when he asked, he was sent back by the county lieutenant of Yuxian County to report to Gao Xuan. Xi Zhong stopped the knight and asked, "How is the battle ahead?" ”
The knight didn't know Xi Zhong, but when he saw that the other party was carrying a large group of soldiers, he didn't dare to be contemptuous, so he replied: "The Yellow Turban thieves did not come to attack the county seat, but wandered in the east county, and now most of the county in the east has been on fire!" Gao Jun, a member of the county monarch clan, was dissatisfied with the inaction of the county lieutenant, and forcibly took hundreds of people over the fortifications to fight the yellow turban! ”
Xi Zhong was even more anxious, summoned Zhang Gu and Zhang Wu, and said to the two: "You two quickly take the first team to find Gao Yuancai, and I will ask the county lieutenant to send troops to fight for thieves!" ”
Zhang Gu and Zhang Wu took the order and left, and Xi Zhong found the county lieutenant of Yuxian County at the rammed earth low wall, and asked: "If the thieves don't attack the county seat, why don't you lead the army to battle!" ”
The county lieutenant glanced at Xi Zhong and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”
