Chapter 31: The Plan Falls Through

Dian Wei clenched his fists and turned to leave, and no one in the soldiers dared to intercept him. Seeing that Xie Chengbin was fine, the soldiers had to leave. Xie Chengbin looked at one of the young men very familiarly, and after thinking about it carefully, it was the knight who volunteered to open the way when he was shooting an arrow in his left hand, and his skills were very good. "Wait!"

With Xie Chengbin's words, the soldiers turned around in unison, and the young man saw that Xie Chengbin was looking at him and hugged his fist at Xie Chengbin. "I don't know what the envoy commands?"

"What do you call a suffocation? What is your current job? Xie Chengbin stood up and walked up to the young man to look at the young man carefully. The young man was dignified, magnificent, neatly dressed, and stood straight, which was the unique temperament of later generations of soldiers, which made Xie Chengbin subconsciously think of Wang Zhiling. Hearing this, the young man clenched his fists again, and his expression remained calm. "Humble Xu Sheng, the word is Xiang, the current 100 generals."

"Wen Xiang is heroic today, I want to promote you to the commander of a thousand commanders and command three thousand iron cavalry!" Xie Chengbin patted Xu Sheng on the shoulder. Ordinary people would be excited when they heard that he was going to be promoted, but when Xu Sheng heard that he had been promoted so many levels at once, his expression did not change, he just frowned. "Thank you for your kindness, I am grateful! It's not that you don't know how to lift, it's just that you are shallow in your learning, and you haven't been able to take on this big responsibility, so I hope you will think twice before acting! ”

"Well, in that case, you will go to the water division to serve as the general of Ganning. Although Gan Ning is irritable and easily excited, he often beats or even kills people when he is angry! However, he is brave and resolute, bold and cheerful, resourceful, talented, light on money, cares about his subordinates, and soldiers are willing to obey their orders. There is Sun Tzu's Art of War in my study, and I will order someone to send it later. For Xu Sheng's honesty, Xie Chengbin appreciates it even more. Seeing that Xie Chengbin valued himself so much, Xu Sheng was so grateful that he knelt down on one knee with his fists clenched. "Thank you, my lord!"

Licheng County was overcrowded, there was no way, there were too many people, and the cells couldn't squeeze so many prisoners. The captives had been hungry for a day, dizzy and weak, and even tightening their belts was in vain. At this moment, there was a lot of commotion among the captives, because there was a burst of fragrance wafting from nowhere, and they all swallowed violently, and they longed to grow a pair of wings and fly out. Xie Chengbin walked in with Tai Shici striding into the meteor, and the captives immediately quieted down to see what kind of judgment they would face, and they were silent for a while.

"This official knows very well that you and others are all ordinary people, and because they can't pay taxes, they will take risks and rebel with the Yellow Turban, so they are open! You can move to live in Jinan, not only have a house and land, but also all taxes will be halved! Or you can join the army, and all those who join the army will be paid twice! If you still want to vote for the Yellow Turban traitor, the official will never stop you, but if you are caught by the official next time, you will definitely be beheaded! The Yellow Turban Rebel Barracks was thirty miles to the east. That's it, wait for yourself! Xie Chengbin turned around and left after finishing speaking, as if he was just a passerby.

With Xie Chengbin leaving and the officers and soldiers who supervised the captives, the captives were free. Some of the prisoners cautiously walked out of the gate of the county government, and immediately officers and soldiers handed them hot rice and took it away. The captives took the rice and began to devour it without hesitation, not caring where they would be taken.

After the captives finished eating, they couldn't help but be shocked when they saw that the officers and soldiers each took out a knife! On both sides of the road, there were officers and soldiers armed with spears, who did not dare to resist, so they had to kneel down collectively and beg for mercy. The officers and men explained to the captives that there was no ill will, but that it was just a mark so that it would be easy to identify later, so they cut off the left side of their length in half. Coming to the avenue, the officers and soldiers let the captives make a choice. Most chose to be civilians, a small number chose to join the army, and some fled back to the Yellow Turban Camp.

In the evening, in the Yellow Turban Camp, the soldiers began to assemble, preparing to attack Licheng. Several people came from outside the gate of the military village, claiming to be Yellow Turban soldiers, and begged to let them in. The Yellow Turban defenders suspected that those people were officers and soldiers pretending, so they shot them to death with arrows! Soon after the bodies of several people were carried away, hundreds of people came, all claiming to be Yellow Turban soldiers, begging to let them in, and they were also shot by random arrows! Half an hour later, nearly a thousand more people came, also claiming to be Yellow Turban soldiers, and begged to be let in. The matter was so important that the Yellow Turban defenders had to send someone to report the situation here.

Not long after, the man returned, saying that the general had ordered them to let them in. At the same time that these people entered the military village, a full 10,000 people came. These 10,000 people are all dressed in rags, and they look very wolfish in appearance, but the difference is that the left side of these 10,000 people has not been cut off, and many of them have worried expressions on their faces, and some even have trembling hands and feet! However, the Yellow Turban defenders did not notice this and let them into the military stronghold.

The Yellow Turban Army has finally assembled, and the army has as many as 300,000 people, and even at night it can be seen that the momentum is huge, and it is advancing in the direction of Licheng with uneven steps! There are as many as 700,000 people left in the military village, but most of them are women, children, old and young, and there are not many young and strong, and the military village at this time looks more like a tribe.

The patrols of the Yellow Turban Village were ten people each, and there were a few more patrols tonight than usual, but no one noticed that. Among the many patrols, several patrols approached the granary, only to see that the granary was fenced off with a railing, and there were several guards at the door. Several patrols walked over as if nothing had happened, and came to a stop behind each of the guards. The guards didn't know what the patrols were up to, and one of the guards asked. "What are you doing here?"

"Take the dog's life!" While the guard was stunned, the man covered the guard's mouth with his left hand, and pulled out a dagger with his right hand and poked it into the guard's heart! The other guards were also murdered at the same time, and they hung up in confusion.

The man put down the guard's corpse, and with a wave of his hand, many of the patrolmen lit the granary in many places with their torches, and the crackling fire was suddenly fragrant and mouth-watering! After the group succeeded, they quickly evacuated the granary and continued to patrol as if nothing had happened. The fire became more and more intense, and it was soon revealed. The witnesses began to yell at high decibels, as if they were afraid that others would not be able to hear. Many people either heard the shouts or saw the fire, and joined in the firefighting operation.

There are a total of fifteen large granaries in the Yellow Turban Military Village, which were set on fire almost at the same time, twelve of them appeared and extinguished in time, three were too late to extinguish, and three seas of fire reflected the entire night sky red! Even the Yellow Turban Army, which had walked more than ten miles, could see it, and the army immediately turned around and ran back quickly, and before they had run a few steps, more than 2,000 hidden arrows suddenly shot out from the far left periphery! More than 2,000 people were shot by dark arrows, and the luckier ones hung up without saying a word; The unlucky one was shot in the arm or leg, and the pain was incomparable, and he screamed again and again!

The first wave of arrows rained down not long after, and the second wave followed, wave after wave endlessly, and I don't know how many enemies there were, only that the screams continued. The fire in the military village, coupled with the sneak attack now, began to spread rapidly among the Yellow Turban Army, and the army was suddenly in turmoil! Many Yellow Turban soldiers were afraid that they would be hit by arrows, so they yelled and squeezed desperately forward in the formation, and the scene immediately got out of control! When there are many people, it is inevitable that some people will fall, and for a time stampedes can be seen everywhere, so the number of deaths is even greater than those who were killed by arrows!

Some of the Yellow Turban generals kept shouting to calm the soldiers, but it didn't work very well, because their voices were drowned out by screams. At this time, even if you can beat the drums, it's a pity, let alone the drummer, you don't even know where the war drums are. The scene became more and more chaotic, and before I saw the shadow of the officers and soldiers, it turned into a pot of porridge, if only I could charge at the sneak attacker when I was attacked at the beginning, but unfortunately these Yellow Turban soldiers did not do this.

The Yellow Turban Army can almost be said to have stepped on the corpses all the way back, and when they returned to the military village, more than half of them had been killed and wounded, and the corpses piled up the gate and couldn't close it. I can finally take a breath, and the rain of arrows is here again! However, the arrows did not have arrowheads, but were tied with a piece of cloth.

The patrolmen who set fire to the granary took apart the cloth and saw that there were words on it, so they asked around what it was, and for most of the day no one could read. Finally, I finally asked a literate person, and the man said that it was written on it as a letter of persuasion from the government, and if he surrendered, he could enjoy a life of halving taxes and having land and houses. As for the content of this letter of persuasion, it was spread that in just one night, most people knew about it, and the general ordered that this matter should not be discussed privately, otherwise it would be killed!

In the distance outside the Yellow Turban Military Village, looking at the entire road full of corpses, Xie Chengbin sighed. Originally, Zhang Fei was asked to harass the Yellow Turban Army here with iron horses, so that the Yellow Turban Army could not attack Licheng. I didn't expect this Zhang Fei to be so capable, he actually killed 300,000 troops with only 3,000 iron horsemen with bows and arrows, and sent someone to tell him, saying that he had captured countless weapons and food, and sent many axes to transport them away. Now the feud is bigger! Originally, he wanted to recruit the Yellow Turban Army, but it seemed that there was no hope.

The next morning, Xie Chengbin and Zhang Feidianwei dined in the lobby. Although these foods are not as delicious as in later generations, Xie Chengbin was not used to eating them at first and always had no appetite, but after eating them for so long, he gradually got used to them. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, Xie Chengbin looked up and couldn't help but be surprised! I saw Tai Shici, who was covered in blood, running over, and hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out of the desk. "How so? What is the injury? ”
