Chapter 163: Borrowing Grain
North Sea.
Guan Hai led tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army to frantically rob the people in Beihai, and the border passed, the chickens and dogs were not left, causing the mourning of the four realms, and the Yellow Turban Uprising in the name of saving the common people became a joke at this time, and the Yellow Turban Army became a real bandit.
"Qu Shuai! We have robbed all the grain and grass in the land of Dongjun, and all those rich merchants have been slaughtered by us, and their property has been confiscated by us! โ
Adjutant General Cheng Jun said triumphantly to Guan Hai.
Guan Hai nodded happily and said approvingly: "Good job, those damn rich businessmen will only drink our blood, why let them live so comfortably, and we have to live a hard life!" Good kill! How much grain and grass have been collected, and how long will it be enough for our brothers? โ
Cheng Jun scratched his head, snapped his fingers, Guan Hai was silent on the side, he turned out to be a bitter farmer, he couldn't read a single big character, and he didn't know this kind of abacus.
In the middle of the sound, Cheng Jun said in an uncertain tone: "From the uprising to the present, our brothers have grown from 30,000 to 50,000, and the consumption of grain and grass is even more.
Guan Hai took a deep breath, a month's worth of grain and grass was not enough to support their development, "No, we still have to rob it, Dongjun has robbed it, let's change places!" โ
Cheng Jun said in agreement: "Qu Shuai, then where should we fight!" Kong Rong's nest has plenty of food and grass, but it's a pity that it was surrounded by Cao Ren, Cao Ren's guys, they beat us so badly at the beginning! It's better not to provoke! โ
Cao Cao's family history. A large part of the reason is the rampant Yellow Turban Army. The yellow turbans of Shandong were purged. but fattened Cao Cao himself.
Guan Hai, these remnants of the yellow scarf, were deeply victimized by Cao Cao at the beginning!
When I thought of Cao Cao, Guan Hai's tears were about to come out, and many of the Yellow Turban Army who were killed and incorporated by Cao Cao were Guan Hai's good brothers.
"Forget it, forget it, Cao Ren's group of bastards, let them fight to the death with the old thief Kong Rong. Let's look at some other places. Guan Hai's eyelids jumped.
Cheng Jun said: "Yuan Tan's army has crossed the Yellow River, there are 20,000 people, and there is a great tendency to annex Beihai, if they come over, we will be a live target in Dongjun!" Qu Shuai, Beihai should forget it, how about I change places? โ
Guan Hai sighed and stopped talking.
"Qu Shuai, good news! Good news! A lieutenant rushed in.
"Good news? What's the good news? Could it be that there is gold in the sky, or that Cao Cao and Lu Bu's group of guys are dead. Guan Hai said angrily.
The general was stunned for a moment. Said: "Cao Ren withdrew his troops and left Beihai!" โ
"What?" Guan Hai and Cheng Jun jumped up.
"Is Beihai City broken?" Guan Hai asked anxiously.
"No, they fought with Kong Rong. Kong Rongjun suffered most of the casualties, but he barely blocked Cao Ren's edge, Cao Ren was probably due to a small number of soldiers, unable to attack for a long time, and other reasons, so he withdrew! The lieutenant said.
Guan Hai circled around the house, "Kong Rong, that old horseman, there are only more than 10,000 people, he was surrounded by Cao Ren for several days, and more than half of the soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, that is to say, Kong Rong does not have many troops now, and we have an army of 50,000, even if we drown Beihai, it is more than enough!"
Someone! Herald! The whole army opened the Beihai Sea, gave me a blow, took the Beihai, plundered the grain and grass inside, and killed all the rich merchants and Confucian scholars inside! What's more, kill Kong Rong, the pseudo-saint who can only talk about it! โ
"No!" Cheng Jun and the general clenched their fists excitedly.
"Wait, we will borrow food as an excuse, if Kong Rong doesn't give it, we will attack the city, so that Kong Rong can know that those diners he recruits on weekdays are actually just waste who can eat and can't do things!" Guan Hai said indignantly.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Kong Rong, as a generation of Confucianism, was hospitable, liked to entertain guests from all over the world, and drank and had fun with some Confucian students all day long, but the people under his rule were still poor, which was the difference between scholars and people.
On the same day, Guan Hai led 50,000 Yellow Turban troops to fight in Beihai, and the black crowd was overwhelming, as if they were about to engulf the small Beihai City.
Inside the Prime Minister's Office.
Kong Rong heard that the Yellow Turban was in turmoil and Yuan Tan was killed, and fainted instantly, Tai Shici hurriedly carried Kong Rong into the house and looked for a famous doctor in the city to see.
Lang Zhong's diagnosis was that first there was great sorrow, then great joy, and then great sorrow, and the repeated stimulation made Kong Rong unable to accept it for a while, so he fainted.
Kong Rong, as the minister of Beihai, is in charge of the survival of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Beihai, and now Beihai is facing a big disaster, anyone can fall, but he can't fall, otherwise who will manage Beihai.
Tai Shici, who was originally leaving, saw this scene, and it was not good to leave immediately, no matter how he said it, he would help Kong Rong get through the difficulties in front of him, and it would not be in vain that Kong Rong treated him with kindness.
"Ziyi! What is the meaning of the child! Kong Rong's first sentence after waking up was to call Tai Shici's name, in the face of such a big crisis, Kong Rong could not rely on those "fox friends and dog friends" on weekdays, but Tai Shici.
If Tai Shi Ci left, Kong Rong would have no way to deal with Guan Hai and Yuan Tan, because he didn't know how to govern the army and fight at all, he would only drink and have fun.
When the pro-army heard Kong Rong's call, he hurriedly ran in and said, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister of State, it's great that you're awake, General Tai Shici is not here." โ
"Not here, is he gone?" Kong Rong said angrily.
The pro-army replied: "General Tai Shici went to inspect the city defense, and according to the detailed report, Guan Hai took 50,000 yellow turban thieves and pounced on us with murderous spirit!" โ
"Tai Shi Ci, if you don't leave, then I'll rest assured, pass on my military order, all the soldiers are under the command of Tai Shi Ci, those who disobey the order, kill!" Kong Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
"No!" Pro-Army said.
On the second day of Cao Ren's withdrawal, Guan Hai led the Yellow Turban Army like locusts to Beihai City.
Just beat away a wolf, another tiger came, and there was a lion behind it, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Beihai lived in a huge panic, and the reputation of the Yellow Turban Army was really bad now, and they were like bandits to Guan Hai. I'm scared.
Tai Shici was dressed in a white robe. Double halberd insert & on the back. Wearing a silver helmet and majestic, standing in the city tower, the tiger looked coldly at the Huang Junjun below.
The 50,000 Yellow Turban Army, with great momentum, surrounded Beihai like a sea of people, Guan Hai walked to the city of Beihai with his cronies and looked at it with disdain.
"Which one is the Great Sage Kong Rong?" Guan Hai said with a smile.
Tai Shi Ci frowned. Said: "You and other traitors, don't disband the crowd quickly, I will forgive you on behalf of the country!" โ
"Which onion are you! is also worthy of talking to our Qu Shuai, don't get out of here! Let that great sage hole melt out! Cheng Jun shouted.
"Look for death!" Tai Shi Ci said angrily.
"Ziyi, don't be annoyed, they want me to come out, it must make sense, and listen to what they say!" Kong Rong, supported by two guards, came to the city tower.
Tai Shici worried: "Prime Minister, your illness? โ
"It's just a small illness, why worry about it!" Kong Rong waved his hand in a chic manner. Turning to look at the city, "What are you waiting for me to come out?" โ
Guan Hai's eyes narrowed. Said: "You are the Great Sage Kong Rong?" โ
Kong Rong laughed heroically twice, and said calmly: "The Great Sage doesn't dare to be, but I am Kong Rong, I don't know what you have to do in my Beihai?" โ
Guan Hai said: "That's right, what we are looking for is you, they all say that you Kong Rong is the great Confucian of the world, after the saint, hospitable, full of guests, everyone who looks for you, will get your favor, today, our brother is admired, want to ask the saint you for food." โ
"Huh?" Kong Rong and Tai Shici raised their eyebrows, begging for food? What does he want to do? Surrender?
Guan Hai looked back and waved his hand, "I have 50,000 brothers, all of whom are from poor backgrounds and have not lived a good life, and I want to borrow some food from you, the saint!" โ
"Borrowed food?" Kong Rong's heart erupted with anger, what is the difference between Guan Hai's behavior and robbery?
Tai Shi Ci also figured it out, Guan Hai said a lot of nonsense, just to find an excuse to attack the city.
Because Kong Rong is a saint, he has a very high self-esteem, and most of his friends are literati and celebrities, or famous rangers. (Friends who don't believe it go to Baidu by themselves)
"Guan Hai, don't be delusional, I won't lend you food! Borrowing you, what are the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in my Beihai? Kong Rong said angrily.
Tai Shici also grabbed the Lingqi in his hand and prepared to defend the city.
"Damn Kong Rong, I know that you are a pseudo-saint, what kind of saint, it's all bullshit!" Guan Hai scolded angrily.
Cheng Jun also said: "Kong Rong has no way, brothers, kill me!" Crush the North Sea, capture Kong Rong alive, and rob them of their grain and grass! โ
"Kill โโ!"
"Kill โโ!"
The 50,000 Yellow Turban Army roared angrily, and the sound shattered the clouds, broke through the sky, and shook the earth, and the soldiers and civilians in Beihai City trembled with fear.
"Archers prepare! Fire oil, rolling wood, ready! Tai Shi Ci ordered the flag to be raised.
The last time Cao Ren came to attack, but 5,000 people, he turned the Beihai upside down, and almost destroyed the city, this time, the yellow scarf was 50,000, just listening to this number, it made the hearts of nearly 10,000 soldiers cold to the bottom, but fortunately, Tai Shici commanded to a degree, so that the soldiers had some confidence.
"Whooshโโ!
"Ahโโ!h
"Poofโโ!
"Kill โโ!"
The Yellow Turban Army went forward one after another, carrying the ladder, erecting the city tower, and struggling to climb up, dense rain of arrows shot from the sky, screams one after another, and a corpse was lying under the city, piled up like a mountain.
The oil was poured down, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were burned beyond recognition, becoming a burned corpse.
The blood stained the walls red, and it was shocking.
Guan Hai, Cheng Jun and others pressed the formation in the back, desperately commanding the soldiers to attack the city, striving to take it in one fell swoop.
The equipment of the Yellow Turban Army is really miserable, many people almost have no weapons, or they take a wooden stick, only a very few soldiers have real knives and guns, as for armor or something, except for a high-ranking general who has a set of tattered armor, the soldiers do not have it at all.
The siege equipment is even more sad, there are only ladders, and there is no siege equipment such as thunderbolts.
But they are outnumbered!
Several times, some of the Yellow Turban Army stepped on the corpses of their brothers and climbed the city tower, and after a series of tragic battles, they were all driven down by Tai Shici with the "fire team". (To be continued......)
