Chapter Forty-Nine: Kill the Yellow Turban!
"I can't imagine that it's really as Ziyu said, if you hadn't sent Wen Yuan back to preside, I'm afraid this city would have been taken by the Yellow Turban bandits."
Looking at the various Yellow Turban Daoists outside the city from a distance, Wei Hong's face was very ugly.
"At the beginning, there were still people in the family who wanted to stay at home and refused to leave, but now I am afraid that they are all in trouble."
As early as this year, Wei Tao sent Zhang Liao back.
At first, even Wei Hong was not so willing to move from Wubao to the city, but after getting Zhang Liao's promise for a while, Wei Hong still agreed.
After all, the weather is very cold, and although the dock fort is good, it is not as stable as the city.
Even so, there was a panic in this city in the sudden outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, if it weren't for Zhang Liao leading the Wei family's private soldiers to attack in time, killing all the Yellow Turban bandits in the city, and closing the city gate in time, I'm afraid this place has also changed hands.
To be honest, Wei Tao didn't know how the Wei family escaped this catastrophe in the history of Lu Dao, but when he returned, he saw that his parents and family were all fine, and Wei Tao also breathed a long sigh of relief.
In fact, even if Wei Tao had a good horse, it took a few days to rush back to Chenliu, if it weren't for the fact that this section of the city defense was guarded by Zhang Liao at this time, I am afraid that Wei Tao would not be able to enter the city.
"Ziyu, you said that this is the case in all the states of Dahan now?"
"Father, don't worry, after all, the Yellow Turban Thieves are composed of ordinary people, and they don't have any combat power, as long as the big man reacts, it is enough to exterminate them."
Wei Tao understood Wei Hong's worries, and smiled naturally.
"With a moment of fanaticism, they may be able to gain the upper hand at first, but without a steady supply, then these Yellow Turban thieves will only collapse without a fight. If it weren't for the fact that the Yellow City Guards were too cowardly, with Wenyuan's ability, they would have been able to wipe out these Yellow Turban thieves outside the city one by one. ”
Hearing Wei Tao's words, Zhang Liao, who was standing behind Wei Tao, couldn't help but smile slightly.
Wei Ziyu, who knows me, is also!
"Wen Yuanguo has this ability?"
However, Wei Hong didn't believe it, but Wei Tao also smiled.
"When Wen Yuan and I were on the border, we fought against the Huns, how about the Yellow Turban thief Kou compared to the Huns?"
Wei Hong was speechless for a moment, no matter who he was, he understood that there was no comparison between the two.
Wei Hong is very talented, he can also be in business, and it is possible to govern politics, but he doesn't have much ability to march and fight, and when it comes to it, he is really not as good as Wei Tao, a teenager.
"Father, you don't have to worry, now that Chen is in chaos, there will definitely be changes in various prices, but when the chaos is calmed down, there will be huge benefits. If my father had time, he should spend more time on it. ”
"That's fine."
After being silent for a while, Wei Hong finally nodded, chose to believe Wei Tao, and no longer worried about the Yellow Turban, but instead thought about how to make a profit.
Prices in the city are skyrocketing, and as long as you exchange it for food, you can easily obtain title deeds, jewelry, etc., which are impossible to buy on a normal day.
Snatching from ordinary people will provoke them to join the Yellow Turban, but snatching from those equally wealthy families will make them feel pain at most.
Although the family also has reserves, it will never be as sufficient as the Wei family, not to mention that in the current situation, which family does not want to make their own reserves more sufficient?
Just when Wei Hong was thinking about the things and interests involved, Wei Tao had already come to the county government again.
"Lieutenant Wei is here? Fast forward! Fast forward! ”
Chen Liu should actually be said to be Chen Liuguo, in history, after Emperor Han Xian was forced to take the throne, he was named King Chen Liu, but now, it is this Chen Liuxian order to preside over the affairs of the city.
Huang Wen, the county magistrate, is not a talented person.
In fact, in this Chen Liuguo, there were not many important affairs to be handled by him when they were peaceful in the past.
It's just that after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the various wealthy clans naturally wanted this county magistrate to preside.
This is simply chasing ducks to the shelves, not to mention that in addition to the Wei family, other families are not willing to let their own private soldiers come to help at will.
Under such circumstances, when Wei Tao appeared, the Huang County Commander immediately appointed him as the county lieutenant.
"Lord County Order, now that the Yellow Turban bandits are besieging Chen Liu, your lord is responsible for defending the land. Although the matter is swift, but after the fact, I am afraid that the official position of the adult is unstable. ”
Wei Tao also knew what kind of character Huang Wen was, so he was very direct as soon as he opened his mouth.
"At that time, although I don't know how to raid the house and kill the head, it is inevitable to lose my official position and go to work, if someone says it, it is not impossible to go to prison."
Hearing Wei Tao's words, Huang Wen's body suddenly trembled slightly.
"This ...... This...... If Brother Wei has anything to say, he might as well say it directly, but if he has the ability to do it, he will never shirk it. ”
"I want to go out of the city to suppress bandits."
Wei Tao said with a slight smile.
"That's a thousand Yellow Turban bandits, if things fail......"
Huang Wen didn't have any ability, but that's why he was even more hesitant.
"My lord's worries are the same, but I only need a hundred people in the headquarters of the house, if the matter fails, will the various clans still be safe and sound? If it is successful, the adult will naturally be meritorious, and it can be said that it will be beneficial to the adult without any harm. ”
Wei Tao smiled slightly, and he could already see that under his words, the other party was already moved.
"As for what I'm asking for, all I want is for you to sponsor a hundred soldiers. Although our department has good horses, it has no armor, and it is really difficult to exert its strength. ”
Although because of Ding Yuan's acquiescence, Wei Tao was able to bring back a hundred good horses, but it was impossible to carry the armor on his body at will.
Therefore, although the strength of the Wei family's private soldiers is extraordinary, the things they use are just ordinary wooden sticks and the like, and they are not official weapons.
"Good! This matter is to ask the county lieutenant Wei! ”
In the end, this Huang Wen couldn't help but be able to keep his career, and he agreed to the matter.
On the second day, before Wei Tao led the people out of the city, he saw a crowd of people rushing towards the city.
If you look closely, you can see that many people have nothing but a yellow scarf on their heads, and they are not armed with weapons, but rakes, shovels, sticks, and other things that are used for daily work.
But there was a frenzy burning in everyone's eyes, as if nothing could stop them.
"Huang ...... The Yellow Turbans are besieging the city! ”
Huang Wen is indeed a mediocre person, and he can't even speak fluently at this time.
The chief officer was like this, and the city guards, who were originally temporarily recruited from the guards, were naturally even more panicked.
"Lord Huang, the place where the soldiers are in danger here, even if it seems to be safe, but it may also be lost, now the adult is the backbone of Chen Liu, once he is shot by an arrow, he will have to worry about his life, so please go back to the city to sit in the town, in order to reassure the people, I am here."
When Wei Tao saw this, he immediately said with a smile, in fact, the yellow scarf was made by poor people, and there were no ordinary weapons, where could there be any strong bows and crossbows?
"So it's up to the county lieutenant."
How timid the incompetent people are, watching those yellow scarves approaching step by step, Huang Wen was also terrified, and after saying a word as usual, he immediately hid his face and fled.
It will be the courage of the soldiers, without Huang Wen, it is Wei Tao who will preside over it.
Wei Tao's face was calm, and he was followed by Dian Wei and Zhang Liao, especially Dian Wei, although his face was vicious, but on this killing field, he was able to make his soldiers feel at ease.
"All the soldiers obey the order, and without my order, they are not allowed to release an arrow. Violators, behead! ”
Zhenjing's order made everyone feel certain, even if Wei Tao was not very old, but at this time, no one could question it.
Just when Wei Tao had just barely settled down the three hundred or so people who had been served as officials, the Yellow Turban Bandits had already arrived under the city wall.
At this time, one person came out first.
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious! The Han Dynasty has come to an end, the great sage and good teacher will set up the Taiping world, I am Xiaoqu Shuai Zhao Yi, and the people in the city are not coming down quickly! ”
"The Yellow Turban Thieves are also scholars? Dian Wei and Wen Yuan, lead our headquarters out of the city to fight against them, and see what these Yellow Turban thieves are capable of. ”
Wei Tao smiled coldly, those yellow scarves behind Zhao Yi didn't even have the most basic formation, even if there were thousands of people, they were just a rabble.
As soon as the city gate opened, Wei Tao immediately led a hundred people out, and there were rules and regulations between the hundred people walking, and the hundred people marched as if they were one person.
But it was Wei Tao who saw on the city wall that although the yellow scarves were scattered, the momentum was high, and from a distance, there were more than a thousand people.
If you use cavalry to attack at this time, I am afraid that you will be trapped in the crowd and unable to escape, and once you are exhausted, it will be the time to be killed.
So at this time, Wei Tao was just preparing a resolution to frustrate his spirit.
"Ha Lu Ha...... Is Chen Liucheng one of you more than 100 recalcitrant people? I might as well tell you, today I will lead 3,000 troops to arrive, and tomorrow I can gather more than 5,000 people, Xiao Chen can be destroyed by turning his hands, if you dismount and surrender at this time, you can spare your life, if not, hehe......"
Three thousand people, even if it was a rabble, Wei Tao couldn't help but sink in his heart.
But that's all, Wei Tao immediately nodded slightly to Dian Wei.
"Thief Bird, where are there so many words, eat my Dian Wei halberd!"
Dian Wei immediately rode out of the battle, shouted violently, and smashed a halberd head-on at that Zhao Yi!
"The dog officer is dead!"
Although he saw Dian Wei rushing in front of him in an instant with the help of the horse, Zhao Yi was not afraid at all, and waved the iron knife in his hand to cut at Dian Wei on the horse.
"Bell!"
After a sound, I immediately saw countless pieces of iron flying, and the halberd did not stop, and it directly smashed Zhao Yi's head.
Before he died, Zhao Yi's eyes revealed a kind of disbelief.
Doesn't it mean that as long as you believe in the great sages and good teachers, you can be invincible, conquer everything, and you will not die?
It's a pity that Zhao Yi can't find the answer, fighting cavalry with infantry, this is naturally the result, even if it is the courage of Dian Wei, he can barely protect himself, not to mention a little-known Zhao Yi?
