Chapter 9 Yellow Turban = Locust
After crossing the Yellow River, there is Pingyuan County, which belongs to Qingzhou, but is dúlì in a corner. In the whole Qingzhou, only Pingyuan County is located north of the Yellow River, while other counties are located south of the Yellow River, so the status of Pingyuan County is particularly special, and Comrade Xiao Liu in history made his home here.
Since it is only next to Jizhou, the yellow scarves in Pingyuan County are also very rampant, in fact, the closer to Jizhou, the more prevalent this situation becomes.
Historically, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Yellow Turban Army was able to maintain a relatively harmonious relationship with the people in the early stage, and compared with the wolf-like officers and soldiers, the Yellow Turban Army obviously knew how to win the hearts of the people! As a result, the people under his rule, especially the lower classes, generally supported the Yellow Turban Army more.
However, since the encirclement and suppression of the official army, especially after the First World War of Changshe, the Yellow Turban Army lost hundreds of thousands of troops in the First World War, its vitality was greatly damaged, and the grain and grass were gradually scarce, and at this time, the inferior roots of the peasant class gradually began to exert its destructive power. The Yellow Turban Army gradually began to loot grain and grass on a small scale, as the situation became worse, with the idea of "breaking the jar and breaking it", the Yellow Turban Army finally let go of its hands and feet, and attacked the people on a large scale, and the goal was not only limited to grain and grass, but also began to burn and loot all kinds of evil, the most outrageous thing was actually to make human flesh into a meat garden when the grain and grass could not be sustained.
As the saying goes, "Locusts do not grow anywhere." In fact, here, this sentence can be completely changed to: "Yellow scarves are everywhere, and not a single inch of grass grows."
In the game, the designer of [Zongheng] is obviously referring to history, and the total evil deeds of the Yellow Turban Army are vividly expressed in the game. The three of them traveled all the way, and saw along the way that the villages were barren and populated, and the fields had no roots, especially in Jizhou, where there were many homeless people, and there were hungry people on the road. But they have the intention to kill the enemy, but they have no power to return to the sky, and the three of them themselves are also difficult to take care of, and they are indeed powerless.
"There's a Yellow Turban patrol ahead, and we're hiding in the woods."
This situation has been encountered many times, after all, Jizhou is the nest of the Yellow Turbans, and the frequent activities of the Yellow Turban Army make the three of them go out day and night. Many careless players, when they see the Yellow Turban, they fight hard with it, which place is different from other places, the Yellow Turban Army is calling friends, gathering more and more, and finally it is difficult to escape if you want to.
After the three of them entered the woods, they were taken aback. I saw that there were only forty or fifty people hidden in the woods, mostly old people, children, women, and the weak, but there were only a few young and strong men, and their expressions were also full of exhaustion. Seeing the three of them enter the forest, the people in the forest looked very nervous, and their eyes were full of jǐngti. Several men even picked up hoes, wooden sticks, hunting bows, etc., and aimed them at the three of them.
"Don't mess around just yet! Who are you? An old man came out of the crowd, who seemed to be the leader of the group, and seemed to be quite prestigious. As soon as he said this, several strong men lowered the weapons in their hands, but the jǐng feeling in their eyes remained unchanged.
"We are all righteous soldiers, and when I heard that the official army and the Yellow Turban would fight with Jizhou, he came to meet each other to serve the imperial court. Who are you waiting for? Why hide here. These people are NPCs at first glance, and Maruko guesses that there must be a task again, and answers to Maruko, who is already extremely skilled in dealing with NPCs.
"It turned out to be a rebel soldier! Old and polite! We are all the people of Zhangzhuang in front of us, and we have lived here for generations. How do you think that a rì came a yellow turban king, surnamed Huang Mingchong (locust?). He led a team of soldiers and asked me to pay the Yellow Turban tax and grain to him. At first, it was okay, but there were not many wants, and each family also coped with it for peace. How do you think that this tax grain is getting heavier and heavier, and the more and more you are crossing, how can each family really support it. But it is better not to hand it over, so King Huang burned and looted, and all the men in my village who resisted were killed. Because we really couldn't, we had to flee our homes and hide here, but King Huang sent people to search everywhere, and most of us were old, weak, sick and disabled, so I am afraid that we would not be able to support it for long. Today, I have to meet three soldiers of the righteous army, please show mercy to the three of them, and save us. The old man said a handful of snot and a handful of tears, and finally knelt down. The other villagers also knelt down when they saw the old man kneeling, begging for help.
"My husband, please get up, folks, we have agreed to your request." Although it is only an online game, it is also very uncomfortable for so many people to kneel and beg you. The three of them hurriedly agreed and helped everyone up.
"You have taken over the task of 'helping the people of Zhangzhuang eradicate the Yellow Turban thieves', and the task lasts for three days. Happy gaming! With a "ding" sound, the task prompt has been displayed in the taskbar of the three people.
rì, only three days away! I don't know what the situation is, it's tricky. However, since the task has been taken, there is no way to do it, so I can only respond immediately.
Knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, since he has taken the task and has no hints, then the specific situation, Maruko can only ask the villagers clearly.
"Uncle! Where are those Yellow Turban thieves now? ”
"In our village, since we escaped, the thieves have taken possession of the village." Since it is in their village, it is easy to do, but I am afraid that I will not be able to find it if I go away.
"How far is Zhuangzi from here?"
"It's only ten miles." Not far away, it seems that the system gives three days is very generous.
"Do you know how many people are on the other side?"
"There were about thirty people, all armed, and extremely vicious." This is very difficult, more than 30 people are guarding a village, and there are only three of them, which is very difficult.
"How many places does Zhuangzi have?"
"Only one place." There is only one entrance, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Do you know if there are other passages in the village, such as secret passages?"
"A few years ago, the Yellow Turban Chaos broke out, and we dug a secret passage just in case of emergency." It's much easier to have a secret passage! It seems that the crux of the mission lies here! Fortunately, my Maruko-sama is very smart, wise, handsome, and personable...... (2,000 words omitted) for me to ask. But this system is really cunning enough, if it is a stunned young man who takes the task and kills it directly, he doesn't know if he dies like this. Cunning drips there!
Maruko then asked a few more questions, but couldn't ask any useful information, so she had to do it.
Now that they had clues to complete the task, the three of them no longer wasted time, and immediately took action, and under the guidance of a villager, they went straight to Zhangzhuang.
