Chapter 90: The Yellow Turban Remnant
Hearing Han Zhong's inquiry, Sun Xia sighed and said: "Qu Shuai, don't pin your hopes on this guy Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu sent someone to send back a letter before, saying that he had surrendered to Yizhou Assassin Shi Xianjian, and at this moment he has been appointed by the corrupt official of Yijian as the Sima of the other department. Zhang Xiu, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", also said that from now on, officials and thieves will not be separated, not only can they not sell us food, but also let us stop contacting him. ”
He was mediocre and incompetent, and he bought the position of Yizhou Assassin from Emperor Liu Hong with money. Because of his greedy nature, in order to recover his 'investment principal' as soon as possible, after his arrival, he levied extortions and taxes on the people of Yizhou.
"Zhang Xiu and I have generally raised the anti-flag, but they can successfully get the Yizhou Thorn Shi Jian to accept it? Not only was he not questioned, but he also got the official position of a certain ministry? Han Zhong asked in disbelief, although he was the current supreme commander of the Shangyong Yellow Turban Army, it was also because he had just taken office and did not know much about Zhang Xiu's information in Hanzhong.
And Sun Xia was sent by Zhang Mancheng to be responsible for liaising with Zhang Xiu before, and many times when the Yellow Turban Army ran out of food, Sun Xia sent people with gold, silver and jewelry to buy life-saving food from Zhang Xiu. Regarding the news from Zhang Xiu's side, Sun Xia knew more: "Yin Jian's dog official is the most greedy, Zhang Xiu collected a lot of money from us some time ago to buy grain and grass, and he bribed all this money to Yin Jian, and with such a large amount of money, Yin Jian will naturally take good care of Zhang Xiu." ”
Han Zhong was not as indignant as Sun Xia about Zhang Xiu's surrender to the Han court, on the contrary, he also saw another path of hope from this matter: "Since Zhang Xiu can rely on money in exchange for the acceptance of the Han court, then why can't we follow his example?" ”
Hearing this, Sun Xia glared at a pair of copper bell eyes: "Han Qushuai, you haven't woken up yet, right?" We're the Yellow Turbans! Although Zhang Xiu's guy also raised the flag of rebellion, in the eyes of the Han court, Zhang Xiu was just a disease of scabies in the land of Hanzhong, but in the eyes of the Han court, our Yellow Turban Army was a problem for the henchmen! Moreover, even if we want to bribe Han officials like Zhang Xiu, do you think those guys in Wancheng will be as easy to talk as Yan Jian? You know, a few months ago, we killed a lot of Han soldiers, and even heard that even the former Nanyang County guard Qin Jie was killed by Zhao Qushuai before he died. ”
The other Yellow Turban Army was easily wiped out by the official army as if it were swept away by the wind, but the Shangyong Yellow Turban Army brought a lot of casualties to Zhu Jun's department in Wancheng, and it still occupies the land of Shangyong, which can be described as a thorn in Zhu Jun's eyes. Even if Han Zhong and the others want to surrender to Zhu Jun now, I don't know if Zhu Jun will pretend to surrender first, and then settle accounts with Han Zhong and the others.
"Anyway, we have to give it a try, I'll go to Wancheng tomorrow, if Zhu Jun is really jealous of the battle that day, let me exchange my life for everyone's life." A hint of resoluteness flashed on Han Zhong's face, since he was the leader of the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, he should have considered the future of these people. If his own 'first evil' life can be exchanged for Zhu Jun's forgiveness, what does it matter if he dies?
…….
Nanyang Wancheng.
As Zhu Jun forced Zhang Mancheng to recover Wancheng, many of the residents of Wancheng who had fled to the countryside returned to their hometowns. Although many of the houses have been demolished due to the war, in the space of a few months, these hard-working people have once again built their homes with their hands.
"Lord, today another batch of grain and grass has been transported from Luoyang to Wancheng." Xu Shu walked into the Wancheng County Guard Mansion with a bamboo slip, and when the new Nanyang County Guard was not appointed by the imperial court, Wu Yi, who was appointed to guard Wancheng, has been living in this rebuilt county guard, replacing Zhu Jun with full authority to handle the affairs of Wancheng.
Wu Yi raised his head from the pile of bamboo slips: "Luoyang's grain and grass have arrived?" Don't put it into storage, yesterday General Zhu Jun also sent people to urge grain and grass, just to transport this batch of grain and grass to General Zhu Jun's camp. ”
Xu Shu promised to leave as soon as he spoke, but Wu Yi stopped him again: "Yuan Zhi can see my senior brother Cheng Yu?" ”
"Lord Cheng seems to be in the south of the city, and some Wancheng families who originally escaped from the city want to get back the land where they originally lived, but when Lord Cheng asked them to show the title deed, they also said that they were left in the old house in the city because they were too hasty when they fled. Now that the old mansion has long been demolished by the Yellow Turban Thieves, who knows if the title deeds they are talking about really exist? Xu Shu didn't have a good impression of the children of the family who came to ask for land, but this matter was not handled by him, so he was naturally happy not to worry about it.
Wu Yi frowned, and a group of guys who wanted to beg for land came out. Wancheng is where Nanyang County is located, although the city has become a little depressed after Zhang Mancheng's toss, but because of the unique geographical location of Wancheng connecting the north and south, it is completely foreseeable to restore the prosperous scene of the past. And most of the real family forces in Wancheng actually died in the hands of Zhang Mancheng, and most of the guys who are emerging now are family forces in the surrounding counties, and their purpose is just to take advantage of the chaos to occupy a borderless land in Wancheng, and the so-called loss of land deeds and the like are all nonsense.
"Now Wancheng still has such a lot of affairs to be dealt with, where is there any spare time to waste on these guys. Yuan Zhi, you go and call Cheng Zhongde back, if anyone stops him, he will be directly arrested and imprisoned for interfering with military affairs! Wu Yi was annoyed by the mountain of official business in front of him, and he urgently needed a government expert like Cheng Yu to relieve his worries.
Looking at the back of Xu Shu leaving, Wu Yi stood up and stretched, and walked directly to the backyard of the county guard's mansion regardless of the pile of books and slips on the case.
Before he entered the backyard, Wu Yi heard the deafening sound of metal in the distance. Stepping into the backyard, he saw Huang Zhong and Dian Wei each holding weapons in their hands and killing in the open space in the backyard.
Originally, Dian Wei had no opponent under Wu Yi who could practice with him, but since Huang Zhong was demoted to Wu Yi by Zhu Jun, Dian Wei finally waited for an opponent who could fight with all his might.
At this time, Huang Zhong was in the prime of life, and both physical strength and martial arts were at the peak of his life. Although he was slightly inferior to Dian Wei in terms of strength, with his exquisite sword skills, every time Huang Zhong practiced with Dian Wei, it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser after seven or eight hundred rounds without fighting. Only after seven or eight hundred rounds can Dian Wei gain the upper hand with absolute strength. But no matter how many times Dian Wei tried, he never once could turn this slight advantage into a decisive victory for himself, and every time he fought until the two of them were exhausted, Huang Zhong could still guarantee that he was at least undefeated.
Watching the exquisite duel between the two fierce brothers, Xu Shu hurriedly came to the backyard to find Wu Yi, and when Wu Yi was about to ask Xu Shu why he hadn't called Cheng Yu yet, Xu Shu had already leaned into Wu Yi's ear and said a news that surprised him.
"Shangyong Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, Han Zhong is asking to see him outside the county guard's mansion."
