Leading the team, Liu Wei and Hu Cai rode slowly towards the city gate.

Chang Xuan, who was already waiting outside the city gate, saw that Liu Wei was only leading more than 1,000 officers and soldiers towards Lu County, frowned slightly, and hurriedly led more than a dozen Yellow Turban generals behind him to ride horses to greet Liu Wei and others.

When the group of men and horses led by Liu Wei marched to a distance of only thirty or forty steps away from Chang Feng and the others, a fast horse jumped out from behind Chang Xuan, and on horseback was Guan Qing, who had come to persuade Chang Feng on Liu Wei's orders earlier.

When the horse arrived in front of Liu Bian, Guan Qing, who looked mighty in a military uniform, did not dismount, but just arched his fists with both hands and arched to Liu Wei and said: "Your Royal Highness, the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Changyun has sworn allegiance to His Royal Highness, and killed a person who did not want to serve and hung his head at the city gate to show his determination!" ”

"Miss Guan has worked hard!" Holding his fist and arching towards Guan Qing, Liu Wei said to her with a faint smile on his face: "The king of Japan has always remembered the girl these days, and he can rest assured when he sees that the girl is safe today......"

"Thank you for your concern!" Guan Qing hugged his fists and thanked him, then stretched his neck and looked behind Liu Bian, but he didn't see Guan Hai's figure, so he asked Liu Bian: "Your Highness, where is my eldest brother?" ”

"General Guan is stationed in the north of the city with Zhao Yun and others!" With a smile on his face, Liu Wei said to Guan Qing: "In a few days, I will leave Lu County and return to the army, and the girl will gather with the Guan General's army!" ”

Knowing that Guan Hai was still in the army, Guan Qing didn't ask any more questions, turned his waist and raised his hand to point to Chang Fan and the others who were welcoming Liu Wei, and said to Liu Wei: "Qu Shuai Chang Feng led the generals under his command to greet His Highness!" ”

Nodding to Guan Qing, Liu Wei gently clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and rode the horse towards Chang Feng and the others. Hu Cai and a thousand Pu Dao soldiers, who were following Liu Wei, saw him riding their horses and galloping forward, and hurriedly quickened their pace and followed.

Before Liu Wei approached, Chang Feng and more than ten Yellow Turban generals who followed him jumped off the horse, hugged his fists and stood aside, Chang Feng said to Liu Wei: "The sin will be Chang Xuan, knowing that His Royal Highness has the heart to forgive me and wait for the Yellow Turban to be innocent, my heart is infinitely grateful, and from today onwards, I am willing to follow His Highness's saddle before and after the horse, and obey His Highness's orders!" ”

Looking down at Chang Xuan who was standing under the horse and the more than ten yellow turban generals who were standing with their fists bowed, Liu Wei also jumped off the war horse, holding Chang Xuan's forearm with both hands, and said to him: "General Gao Yi, who is willing to serve the imperial court, from today on, all the generals under the command of the general are officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and I hope that the general will sincerely cooperate with this king in the future to help the Han Sheji!" ”

"The sin will be condemned to sacrifice his life to assist His Highness in supporting the Han family!" was supported by Liu Wei with two small arms, Chang Feng straightened his waist, but his eyes were very free when he spoke, and he did not meet Liu Wei's gaze.

Looking at Chang Xuan, whose eyes wandered, a trace of uneasiness rose in Liu Wei's heart. At this moment, he even had the idea of giving up recruiting this Yellow Turban Army, but thinking that there were tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans in the city, if he could really recruit them, it would be a lot of strength, and he was a little hesitant in his heart.

"Hu Cai, you'll be sent here!" Finding that Chang Xuan's eyes wandered, Liu Wei secretly calculated in his heart, turned his head and said to Hu Cai, who had jumped off the war horse behind him: "This king and his own soldiers can enter the city with Qu Shuai, and you can return to the military camp to return to Zilong!" ”

Hu Cai was originally ordered to come to protect Liu Bian, but when he heard that Liu Biao asked him to lead the troops back to the army and return to Zhao Yun, who was equivalent to his rank, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Liu Bian with a stunned expression.

Seeing that Hu Cai didn't understand his intentions, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and urged again: "Don't leave yet?" ”

"No!" From Liu Wei's expression, Hu Cai seemed to see a trace of strangeness, although he was very puzzled in his heart, but he did not dare to disobey the order, so he responded with both hands in fists, jumped on the horse, lifted the reins, and turned his horse to shout to the thousand Pu Dao soldiers who followed behind: "Soldiers, return to the barracks with this general!" ”

A thousand Pu Dao soldiers who came to the outside of the city with Liu Wei left with Hu Cai, and only dozens of personal soldiers remained with Liu Wei.

Looking at the back of Hu Cai's departure, it was not until Hu Cai and the thousand Pu Dao soldiers walked away that Guan Qing turned around and looked at Liu Wei with a confused expression. She also couldn't understand why Liu Wei had just seen Chang Feng and ordered Hu Cai, who came to escort him, to return to the barracks.

"Your Highness, please!" Seeing that Hu Cai was leading a thousand Pu Dao soldiers away, a sinister smile flashed across the corner of Chang Xuan's mouth, and he made a gesture of invitation to Liu Wei and stepped aside.

Following Chang Xuan, he walked towards the gate of Lu County, and along the way, Liu Wei was paying attention to the Yellow Turban Army that had formed a phalanx outside the city.

It is not so much that the Yellow Turban Army lists a phalanx, but that they stand very casually and scattered, and only the soldiers at the very edge of the array can barely stand a little neatly.

Compared with the phalanx arranged by the officers and soldiers under Liu Wei's command in the past, the more than 10,000 Yellow Turban troops outside the city do not look like an army, but more like a group of chaotic people who have just risen up. Just by looking at their array, you can feel that this is a team that is usually undisciplined.

"The army's appearance is untidy, which makes His Highness smile!" Seeing Liu Wei turn his head to look at the phalanx listed by the Yellow Turban Army, Chang Feng smiled a little embarrassedly, made another gesture of invitation to Liu Wei and said, "Your Highness, please enter the city!" ”

Liu Wei raised his feet and walked towards the city gate, and Guan Qing, who was dressed in military uniform, pressed the hilt of his sword with his hand, and quickly followed. When Liu Wei and Chang Feng met, she also found that Chang Xuan's eyes were a little flickering, and Liu Wei suddenly asked Hu Cai and the others to withdraw to the barracks, which made Guan Qing's heart full of doubts.

When everyone arrived at the gate of the city, Liu Wei stopped and glanced at the city, and sure enough, he saw a human head hanging on the city that was about to dry out.

The neck of the human head was neatly cut with a knife edge, and the blood stains on the knife edge had dried up, and the black and solidified blood stains combined with the purple-black skin made the human head look dirty.

"This human head must have been hanging for a long time!" Looking up at the human head on the head of the city, Liu Wei said to Chang Feng who was standing beside him: "It's better to gather it up and let him settle in the ground!" ”

"This person intended to kill Miss Guan Qing, and was ......beheaded by the criminal general" Standing beside Liu Bian, Chang Xuan bowed slightly, his eyes drifted left and right, and said to Liu Bian: "The sin will think that hanging the human head on the city wall is not enough to atone for his sins!" The sin general had already ordered his family to be captured, just waiting for His Highness to be dropped! ”

"It's not enough to sin your family!" As soon as Chang Xuan's words fell, Liu Wei said to him: "Let all his family members go, and then put the head and body together and bury them by his family." Don't make people think that we can't tolerate different voices! ”

"No!" Chang Feng responded, and then said to a yellow turban general who followed behind him: "You go and release all his family, let them take back the heads, and bury them alive!" Don't make trouble with Your Highness anymore! ”

The Yellow Turban general, who had received the order, bowed down with his fists in response, stepped forward, and ran towards the city first, releasing the Yellow Turban who had been cut off his head earlier for trying to slap Chang Xuan.

Walking into the city gate, Liu Wei found that all the streets in the city were full of Yellow Turban soldiers, and the Yellow Turban Army standing on both sides of the street with swords in hand was standing crookedly on the side of the street, and the overall appearance looked very sloppy.

The Yellow Turbans lining the streets were also very disorganized, and many of them were not even armed with iron weapons, but only armed with wooden sticks sharpened at one end. More of the Yellow Turbans were not even equipped with leather armor, and the clothes they wore were also the deep clothes of ordinary people, and it was only with a yellow scarf wrapped around their heads that people could recognize them as soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army.

Walking side by side on the street with Chang Xuan, marching in the direction of the county government of Lu County, along the way, Liu Wei saw the Yellow Turban Army with yellow scarves on their heads, but they didn't even see half of the people, and they couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in their hearts, and turned their heads to Chang Feng and asked: "In this Lu County, why are there not even half of the people?" ”

"Don't dare to deceive Your Highness!" Liu Wei asked the people in the city, and Chang Feng hurriedly bowed down and responded: "The Yellow Turban army entered Yanzhou from Qingzhou, and the people in each city heard that the army was coming, and most of them moved their families earlier. And when I heard that His Highness was about to enter the city, the people were so afraid that they did not dare to go out to greet him! That's why there is no sign of the people in the city! ”

"Afraid?" After Chang Xuan finished explaining, Liu Wei twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and said to him: "This king has led the army to fight for many days, and has also conquered cities and occupied some cities, but the soldiers under his command have never bullied the people, what are they afraid of this king?" ”

"The foolish people in the remote areas, how can they know that His Highness is heroic! And let them go, if they force the people to go out to meet them, they will break the name of His Highness. Chang Xuan's eyes blinked twice, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he lost no time in patting his ass and said to Liu Wei: "This Lu County has been out of food for several days, and the sin will be collected in every possible way, so he has exchanged some meat, His Royal Highness has lived in the city for a few days, and there is no need to worry about eating." ”

"That's it!" While walking in the direction of the county government, Liu Wei waved his hand at Chang Feng and said to him: "The people are afraid of this king, which makes this king really annoying!" If this king eats meat all day long after entering the city, and sees the soldiers and civilians hungry, won't it make the people and soldiers even more resentful? The army and the people of the city ate much, and the king ate very much. Let's give the meat to the soldiers! ”

Liu Wei said that he wanted to divide the meat among the soldiers, but the expression on Chang Xuan's face did not change much, but the yellow turban generals who followed him were stunned, and many of them showed a bit of complexity.

"How many days does it take for the general to lead the army out of the city to join the army?" When he arrived at the gate of the county government, Liu Wei stopped and asked Chang Xuan, who was following him.

Referring to the meeting with the army outside the city, Chang Xuan's face showed a look of embarrassment, and said to Liu Wei: "Back to Your Highness, there are more than 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers and their families in this Lu County, and all the baggage, men and horses are all ready, it will take more than ten days, I don't know if Your Highness can wait in the city for some time, and the crime will definitely be organized as soon as possible to meet with the army!" ”

Turning his head to look at Chang Feng with an embarrassed face, Liu Wei slightly pulled up a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, nodded at him, and went straight into the county government.

As soon as he entered the county government, he stopped again and looked around the outer courtyard of the county government.

In the outer courtyard of the county hall, twenty or thirty huts were built for the miscellaneous servants. Built in the same place as the hut, there are two firewood houses with dilapidated doors and utility rooms.

In the outer courtyard of the entire county government, the only imposing house is the main hall where officials in the county used to deliberate. Lu County is not a big city, and the council hall is much smaller than the county hall that Liu Wei passed through earlier.

Glancing at the main hall of the front yard, Liu Wei said to Chang Feng on the side: "I hope that the general will prepare as soon as possible, the army is stationed outside the city, and every day will consume grain and grass, so I really can't wait for a long time." ”
