Chapter 59: Capture of Qi City (.1)

"What's your name?" Zhao Yun looked at this person, in fact, he was not bad-hearted, he should be a loyal and honest person, and he was forced to participate in the rebellion in desperation.

"The little one is called: Zhou Kang."

"Okay, let's go back first."

"Yes."

"Folks, don't be afraid. Come out, I'm here to bring you food. ”

"Folks, don't be afraid. Come out, I'll bring you the food. ”

"Folks, don't be afraid. Come out, I'll bring you the food. ”

This person named Zhou Kang shouted two or three sentences. There are really villagers who have come out one after another.

"Zhou Wu, Zhou Wen, tell the brothers, get ready to fight."

"Brother Zilong, what's wrong?"

"When things go wrong, there must be demons, how could the people come out after the Yellow Turban Army shouted a few words casually. Let's be careful. ”

"Yes, Brother Zilong, when you say that, I also feel a little strange! Usually, when the people see these thieves, they must be very afraid. How could it be that because they said a word, they would come out with the grain? ”

"Let the brothers retreat thirty feet, if there is really any accident, at least we must be able to charge later."

"No, the whole army retreated thirty zhang."

But after a long while, I only heard the excited voices of the people in the village chief, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Folks, it's not like we've figured it out, the leaders of our Yellow Turban Army. It has long since lost its original ambition. It's just that I just want to mix for a day, as long as I can occupy a territory, have meat to eat, money to spend, and a woman to accompany me. The reason why we sent you back food is because the cavalry under Xue Rengui, the former general of the Han Dynasty, defeated us, and asked us to send food back to the villagers. If you want to thank him, thank him. ”

"This general, Xiao Lao'er's surname is Zhang, he is eighty and six years old this year, and he is the village chief of this Hongshi Village. If the general hadn't sent us food, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to survive this year. Little Lao'er thanked the general here. ”

"Thank you, General." It turned out that the whole village knelt down.

"Folks, folks, I can't help it. This is absolutely unacceptable, it is really a torment. After all, Zhao Yun is a shy person, and when he sees this scene, he naturally can't stand it. Hurriedly dismounted and helped the old gentleman up.

"I don't know Engong's surname?"

"It's a small thing, but it's not enough to worry about. He is just a nobody under the hands of Xue Rengui, the former general of the Han Dynasty. ”

"Please, General, be sure to tell me your name, etc. Otherwise, the little old man can't kneel. ”

"This... Well, under Zhao Yun, the word Zilong. ”

"Okay, folks, from now on, in order to repay the kindness and save your life. My Hongshi Village was renamed Zhaojia Village. ”

"Sir, this is absolutely unacceptable."

"The general doesn't need to say any more, I've made up my mind."

"Okay then."

"However, Zilong has one thing that he doesn't understand."

"General, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Why, just now a few of them shouted, saying that they came to send grain and grass back to the villagers. Everybody's coming out? I'm afraid, the Yellow Turban thieves have harmed the villagers. Why did they come out as soon as they called? Aren't you afraid of them? ”

"What the general said is good, but their group is different from the Yellow Turban Army before them."

"Oh, what's the difference?"

"They are all good people, and they told us before they entered the village that they didn't want to kill. But their boss made it necessary to grab a certain amount of food to go back. After all, he used to be a common man, and he also knew the difficulties of ordinary people. So, he just took half of the food from our families. Half of the food was left for us to eat. It's a rare good person. ”

"Oh! Zhou Kang, is that so? ”

"That's true. Me and my 500 brothers. They are all from the same village, but because there is no food at home, they can't open the pot. before they were forced to participate in the rebellion. I know this, the difficulties of the folks. Naturally, I don't want to embarrass them too much. So I got together with my 500 brothers. I can only guarantee that I still have it, and my 500 brothers have a slightly better attitude towards the villagers. As for the rest of the people, there's nothing I can do. ”

"It's a rare good person. Then I ask you, are you willing to serve the imperial court? From now on, there is no need to hang on to the anti-thief business. Zhao Yun saw that this person was still relatively upright, so he had the idea of taking him under his command.

"If you work for the imperial court, you have to see who it is for."

"What's the difference between serving the imperial court?"

"The general didn't know that in the year of the Yellow Turban Uprising, no one in our village could eat. We've gnawed away the bark. Even the common people in the county town were not strong enough to get there. But those local tycoons, as well as the county order, actually eat and drink spicy food every day. We tried to borrow some food from them, but they just drove us out. If I were to work for this kind of dog officer, even if I were to die, I wouldn't frown. But I'm never going to do anything for him. ”

"Then what do you think of my father-in-law, the former general of the Han Dynasty: Xue Rengui, is it worth it, you go to serve."

"When I was in the village, I often heard that there was a Master Xue in Dongjun, who was a good official who was dedicated to the people. When I saw the general today, I was even more convinced that this statement was true. If the general doesn't dislike it, please accept me. ”

"Please take me and wait, General."

"Please take me and wait, General."

"Please take me in, General."

Immediately, all of the 500 people fell to their knees and shouted in unison.

"Good, good! I Yanzhou has the help of your group of strong men, so why worry about the uncertain world. ”

"Zhou Kang, let me ask you, did you want to go to Qi County after you robbed these grains?"

"Exactly! Our boss above told us. All the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, go to Qi County, they say, the Yellow Turban Army has been occupied, Qi County, let us bring grain and grass to converge. ”

"Oh, so you don't know each other anymore?"

"Most of them don't recognize them, after all, they come from all over Qingzhou." At this time, Zhao Yun immediately analyzed it according to the information he had obtained, and thought about it.

"And who is your leader?"

"Sun Guan, Zang Ba, Yu Xuan, Yan Zheng, Du Yuan, Chu Feiyan and nearly ten other commanders."

"Oh, that's right. Zhou Kang, Zhou Wu, Zhou Wen, those three people come with me. ”

"Okay."

"Brother Zilong, why did you call us over?"

"I don't know what General Xue's reputation is now?"

"Under the whole world, it is naturally like thunder."

"I don't know, when the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, who was the first fierce general under the lord praised by everyone?"

"Naturally, it's Zhang Fei, General Zhang Yide."

"How many other people are so famous?"

"Far from it, I'm afraid even if the army of the imperial court knows, there are not many of us."

"Now, I have an opportunity to make our brothers famous in the world, I don't know what a few people think?"

"Originally, we were sent by the lord to quell the rebellion, as long as we can fight the Yellow Turban Army, I believe the lord will not say anything else. It's better for Brother Zilong to say it and listen to it. We two brothers are willing to follow you. "Zhou Wu and Zhou Wen expressed their attitude.

"The general has orders, and the little ones will not give up." Zhou Kang was just a prisoner, and Zhao Yun was able to treat him so politely, he was already very content. How can there be other opinions?

"I mean, let Zhou Kang lead us to pretend to be Yellow Turban Thieves. Then we went into the city in the name of delivering grain and grass, and in the evening, in the dead of night, we set a fire in the barracks of the Yellow Turban thieves, and in their storehouses. Then take advantage of the chaos to storm the city gates. ”

"What a great idea! If this is the case, Qi Guocheng will be able to fight a battle. ”

"I decided that I would personally lead 500 sergeants and mix with Zhou Kang into the city. And when it came to the third watch of the evening, when you saw a fire in the city, you rushed over. When the time comes, I'll find a way to open the south gate. Take advantage of the chaos and kill them. However, even if we capture the city of Qi, it will still be difficult for me to defend it with our troops. Therefore, Zhou Wu, you personally led a team of scouts, and I believe that the lord should not be far from us by now. Go to the lord and ask the lord to send other soldiers and horses to help us, and then we will use Qi City as a base and then attack several counties in other Qi counties, and the Qingzhou Rebellion will be able to decide the winner immediately from this war. Zhou Wen, the cavalry unit you led outside. Zhou Kang, the stakes are high. We can't take any of you, brothers. Let them rest on their own, but don't disturb the people. When we capture the city of Qi tomorrow, those who are willing to come back, let them come to the city of Qi and help us defend the city. ”

"Okay, General Zhao, listen to you. However, we have to bring grain and grass to get in. We must no longer rob the people of their food. ”

"It's okay, we just need to borrow a little food and grass from the people. We can fill the bag with stones, and just cover it with a layer of grain, and I believe that they will not be able to check them one by one. ”

"Good idea, let's do it for the little ones."

"Alright! In that case, then I'll go to the lord first. ”

"Brother, our lives are in your hands. You've got to get it. "Zhao Yun, it's a rare joke. Let Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu put their hearts down.

"Ready, Ready, Zhou Kang. We're about to get in. ”

"Okay, let's go."

"Stop! Where are you from? Whose subordinates are they? As soon as they arrived at the city gate, Zhao Yun and his group were stopped by the sergeants guarding the city. It seems that the garrison is still very tight.
