Fan County is the hardest hit area by the Yellow Turban Thieves.

Because of the Banxian order's escape without a fight, the Banxian county was taken down by the yellow turban thieves who came by surprise with almost no resistance.

The only fortunate thing is that because of Liu Bei's decree, a large amount of money and grain has gathered in the county.

So much so that this group of yellow turbans who broke through the county town, except for killing some officials who had no time to escape, rarely violated the people in the city.

After all, the money and food hoarded in the city is enough for the yellow scarves to eat and drink temporarily, and there is no need to rob the money and food of the people in the city.

But such a balance will not last long!

There will come a time when the money and food in the city will run out, and once the Yellow Turban thieves get used to getting something for nothing, it will be difficult to change it back.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

At that time, the yellow turban thieves in the city will inevitably start to rob the people of their money and food.

When the people are robbed, there will be a new group of people who will become yellow turban thieves or homeless people, and the fields will be uncultivated, and the yellow turban disaster will further worsen!

After Zheng Ping solved the Yellow Turban thieves in Ande County and Qi County, he immediately waved his troops to the county to prevent this possibility of deterioration.

Before winter, none of the Yellow Turban thieves in the nine counties of the plains could occupy the city.

"Sir, the Yellow Turban thieves have attacked and broken the city, got armor and weapons, and have no money and food to worry about, how can they break the city?" Deng Xu followed Zheng Ping's side, and this tone gradually became respectful.

Looking at the county town in front of him, a trace of coldness flashed in Zheng Ping's eyes: "A thief is always a thief, even if he has armor and weapons and occupies the geographical advantage of the city, he is still just a group of rabble. ”

"Beat the drums forward, and fight near the city!"

The county soldiers heard the sound of drums, and one by one they were silenced, and advanced towards the city of Banxian.

After winning two games in a row, this group of county soldiers already had enough trust in Zheng Ping's ability to command troops.

It will be the courage of a soldier, but it is not a casual joke.

The higher the general's ability, the greater the courage of the soldier.

A thousand county soldiers set up a military formation under the city of Banxian.

Deng Xu rode forward and shouted to the city tower: "Under the command of Liu Bei, the prime minister of the plains, Deng Xu, the commander is here, who dares to go out of the city to fight?" ”

The arrival of the county soldiers has already alarmed the yellow turban thieves in the county.

Sima Wei, the leader of the thieves, looked at the county soldiers under the city, and saw that their lineup was neat, and the soldiers were silent, and he couldn't help frowning secretly.

This Sima Wei was originally a poor scholar who was unwilling to do so, and he used to be a county official, but he was suppressed by his colleagues and framed as a thief.

Sima was afraid of his life and fled for his life, and in a fit of rage, he took refuge in the bandit Ding Er.

But although Sima Wei became a bandit, he was not satisfied with being a second child, and threw a poisonous snake while Ding Er was bathing in the river, creating the illusion of Ding Er's accidental death.

And Sima Wei also successfully became the leader of the bandits.

Sima Wei had read books and knew that there was no way out of being a bandit leader.

So Sima Wei pretended to be in the name of Taiping Dao, claiming to be the descendant of Zhang Bao, the general of the local government, and preached in the areas of Banxian, Leling, and Yanci.

It really made Sima Wei cultivate a group of believers.

This year, there was little rain, the harvest in the fields was not good, and a large number of officials colluded with the powerful and bullies in the areas of Banxian, Leling, and Yanci, causing public resentment to boil.

Sima was afraid that the opportunity was coming, so he took advantage of the night to surprise attack the city of Yici, killed dozens of people and county officials, and snatched weapons and armor.

Then he attacked Leling and killed Leling Ling.

When entering the county, the county commander was even more frightened and fled without a fight.

This made Sima Wei quite proud.

But Sima Wei is quite ruthless and cunning, even if he is the mastermind of the thieves who broke Banxian, Leling and the three cities of Yici, but the name Sima Wei is rarely known.

Among the Yellow Turban thieves, he only called Sima Wei "Digong Qu Shuai", in order to correspond to Sima Wei's self-proclaimed successor to the Digong General.

"Defend the city, don't bother!"

Sima is afraid of self-knowledge, although he now has armor and weapons, but the Yellow Turban thieves are scattered and undisciplined, and they can still win by bullying some weak county soldiers, but they are too confident to fight with a neat lineup of county soldiers.

Deng Xu scolded for a while, but when he saw that the yellow turban thieves in the city had no intention of leaving the city at all, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

"It's strange, these yellow scarves actually became turtles?"

Deng Xu returned to the main formation and replied to Zheng Ping: "Sir, the Yellow Turban thieves will not come out of the city!" ”

"Not out of the city?" Zheng Ping looked at the city, and there was a faint smile in his eyes: "The turtle is not so easy to be. The order was given, the gang leader buried the pot to cook, and the soldiers practiced the four martial arts. ”

Deng Xu was stunned: "Sir, just practice the four martial arts under this city, what if the Yellow Turban thief goes out of the city?" ”

Zheng Ping chuckled and asked, "Are you afraid that they will go out of the city?" ”

Deng Xu reacted instantly, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that they will go out of the city, I'm afraid that they will continue to be turtles!" ”

Soon.

The county soldiers began to perform their duties.

The leaders of the gang were busy burying pots and cooking one by one, while the soldiers pushed the baggage carts to the predetermined positions and threw down a large number of thistles.

And the soldiers carried planks and piled up the tables.

The shouts of killing gradually sounded.

This scene directly stunned the yellow turban thieves at the head of the city.

"It's infuriating to bury the pot in front of us, and to practice soldiers and horses!"

"Qu Shuai, let's go out of the city to fight, it's just a group of officers and soldiers, it's not like we haven't killed these days!"

"Yes, take advantage of the disorganized lineup of officers and soldiers, and kill them."

"Destroy this group of officers and soldiers, Qu Shuai will be able to kill all the way to Pingyuan City and slaughter the one named Liu Bei."

"Qu Shuai, let's send troops!"

“.”

Zheng Ping buried the pot in front of the yellow turban thief to cook and practice the art of war, which was too humiliating.

As if he didn't take the yellow scarves in the county town seriously at all.

Sima Wei clenched his fists.

Since his debut, Sima Wei thinks that his intelligence is unparalleled, and he is nothing more than that.

Now he was humiliated by Zheng Ping in such an arrogant way.

"Out of town!"

Sima gritted his teeth.

I didn't dare to go out of the city when the officers and soldiers were in order, and now the officers and soldiers are scattered, what else is there to fear?

"Squeak"

The gate of the county town fell, and the yellow turban thieves poured out like bees.

didn't say hello, didn't shout cruel words, and directly rushed to kill the county soldiers.

"Straight into battle?" Deng Xu was a little surprised: "I thought that this defender had any skills, but it turned out to be no different from the yellow turban in Ande County." ”

Deng Xu remembered Zheng Ping's evaluation of the Yellow Turban thief: A thief is always a thief, even if he has armor and weapons and occupies the geographical advantage of the city, he is still just a group of rabble.

In Sima Wei's eyes, the county soldiers were scattered and had no formation.

But in fact, these county soldiers have already been arranged in formation, and the decree has been implemented, and there are rules for meeting the enemy head-on, cooperating on the side, when to gather, and when to disperse like birds and beasts.

Looseness is nothing more than a means to lure the Yellow Turban thieves out of the city.

"Beat the drums, return to the column!"

"Raise the flag!"

Zheng Ping calmly issued tactical orders one by one.

The drummers and standard-bearers also began to convey Zheng Ping's tactical orders to the county soldiers.

Soon.

The scattered county soldiers in Sima Wei's eyes suddenly became neat again.

"Fooled!"

Sima was afraid of hindsight, and only then did he realize that what kind of cooking and training were just a trick to lure the enemy.

The purpose is to lure yourself out of the city.

Without the location of the city, the victory or loss of the two sides depends on whose soldiers and horses are more cooperative!

Talk to the Yellow Turbans about cooperation?

Sima was afraid that he couldn't believe it!

"Rush, rush!"

At this time, the arrow was on the bow, and Sima Wei knew that he had been fooled, so he could only drink and order the Yellow Turbans to move forward.

As long as Zheng Ping of Jiangtai is killed, no matter how neat the military appearance of this group of county soldiers is, they will be defeated!

But Sima Wei has already entered the urn, how can Zheng Ping let Sima Wei easily rush to Jiangtai?

"The shield soldiers return to defend and protect the general!"

"Flanking cavalry, around its tail!"

With a wave of the flag, the shield soldiers began to defend and protect the generals, and the cavalry arranged on both wings also began to detour to the rear of the Yellow Turbans.

This is the difference between a well-trained officer and a yellow turban thief.

With the same troops, the Yellow Turban thieves will only gather and rush into the crowd, but the officers and soldiers can play different roles on the battlefield according to different types of troops.

In the face of such yellow turbans, Zheng Ping didn't even bother to use the strategy of relying on the dangers of mountains and forests, water springs and forests to build a preset battlefield.

There is a way to deal with a strong enemy.

To deal with a weak enemy, it is enough to directly crush it head-on.

Under Zheng Ping's skillful tactical command, the Yellow Turbans were gradually divided.

The ferocious momentum at the beginning is rapidly dying out as the battle grows longer.

The soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers, and they directly become a mess of scattered sand.

"Withdraw, withdraw to the city!"

Sima was frightened and frightened, and he didn't dare to fight with the county soldiers anymore.

But when Sima Wei turned his horse's head and wanted to retreat to the city, he was stunned to find that the city gate and suspension bridge had been seized by the county soldiers.

The cavalry that rode horses back and forth to kill made Sima fearful.

Sima was afraid and did not dare to return to the city, and fled in the direction of Leling under the desperate rush of the guards.

The "local princess and canal handsome" all ran away, and the remaining yellow turban thieves lost their will to fight, and they became frightened one by one.

"Those who abandon weapons will not be killed, and those who resist will not be killed!"

Zheng Ping glanced at Sima Wei, who had fled the way, and did not give the order to pursue.

No one really wants to die in the face of the threat of death.

The clever yellow turban thief hurriedly threw away the weapon in his hand and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands; The unresponsive Yellow Turban Thieves were seen as recalcitrant and were slashed by the county soldiers.

On the battlefield, you don't ask if you want to surrender one by one.

But whoever has a weapon in his hand must be regarded as an enemy!

Until the last Yellow Turban Thief with a weapon was killed, the remaining Yellow Turban Pawns were driven into the clearing.

Zheng Ping did not immediately dispose of the group of surrendered Yellow Turban soldiers, but immediately ordered the medical officer to treat the wounded county soldiers.

The battlefield is unforgiving.

Even if Zheng Ping had skillful command tactics, he still couldn't avoid casualties.

The only thing Zheng Ping could do was to treat the wounded soldiers as much as possible after the war.

Listening to the wails of the wounded soldiers in his ears, Zheng Ping couldn't help frowning.

"When the prince of the palace sits firmly on the plain, he has to invite Brother Yuanhua."

"If there is no hemp boiling, the wounded soldiers will die of pain."

Zheng Ping has a close friendship with Hua Tuo, and Hua Tuo even taught Zheng Ping the Five Bird Opera, and Zheng Ping also gave away a prescription that has been treasured for generations.

If Zheng Ping personally passed on the invitation, Hua Tuo would inevitably come to the plain.

When the battlefield was cleaned up, the food of the soldiers was cooked.

Although it was a ploy to lure the enemy, Zheng Ping was not simply burying the pot and cooking.

It's just because, after this battle, it's basically time to eat.

After eating, don't delay things.

The steaming multigrain rice, the wafting aroma of rice made the yellow turban soldiers swallow their saliva.

However, the bright sword made the Yellow Turban soldiers dare not make a mistake.

Deng Xuce took the gun, glanced at the yellow scarf and shouted: "Mr. has an order, I promise you to make meritorious service while you are guilty." If you can give the county seat, I will share your food. ”

The eyes of the Yellow Turban Pawn suddenly ignited hope.

Deng Xu didn't say much, and transferred all the county soldiers around the soldiers to make way for the passage.

Looking at the yellow turban soldiers who were rushing towards the city gate, Deng Xu couldn't help but admire Zheng Ping's scheming even more.

"If the county soldiers seize the door, the yellow scarves at the head of the city are afraid, and they may not dare to open the door."

"But having this group of soldiers calling the door can reduce the fear of the yellow turbans at the head of the city."

As Deng Xu guessed, it was much easier to have this group of yellow turban soldiers to persuade the yellow turbans on the head of the city to surrender than the county soldiers to directly persuade them to surrender.

Most of these yellow scarves are neighbors, and there are also many relatives and friends.

Soon.

The yellow scarves on the head of the city opened the city gate, and they knelt at the city gate to welcome the county soldiers into the city.

And at this time.

The well-fed and well-fed county soldiers also cleaned up their formations, loaded their casualties on their carts, and walked to the city gate.

The murderous aura made the kneeling yellow scarf dare not raise his head!

"Captain Deng, immediately post the list four gates!"

"Let the cavalry team patrol the streets and alleys, the yellow turban thieves have been repulsed, and there are people who are willing to go out, you can come to the county office immediately!"

Zheng Ping picked up the pen and grinded, and wrote four list essays.

In addition to appeasing the people, this list is also a merit-seeking order.

The general county commander fled without a fight, and the officials in the city were almost killed by the yellow turbans.

Zheng Ping had no spare time to stay in Banxian County, and he needed to recruit scholars from such a county to restore order in Banxian County.

The Yellow Turbans in this county were defeated too quickly, and it was not until the cavalry team shouted back and forth several times that the people and soldiers went out.

"The Yellow Turban Thief was really repulsed?"

"No, the Yellow Turban Thieves were all there at noon, and they were repelled in the evening?"

"Who's commanding the troops?"

"I heard it just now, it's Zheng Ping, the county prince, and he also called for a taxi who is willing to go to the county office."

"Juncheng Zheng Ping? The son of Mr. Kangcheng Hokkai? I've admired my name for a long time! ”

"The Yellow Turban Thief has almost killed all the officials in the county, Zheng Juncheng will definitely continue to appoint talents, how can this good thing be missed?"

"Haha, finally, the Yellow Turban Thief is finally gone, and the old man is so scared that he doesn't dare to eat much in the past few days."

“.”

With the posting of the four gates and the shouting of the cavalry back and forth, the people in the streets and alleys finally believed that the Yellow Turban Thieves had been repulsed.

The big and small discussions gradually sounded, there was a blessing like the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and there was also a heated discussion about Zheng Ping's order to seek talent.

West Side.

A young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old pushed open the closed door, waved his long sleeves, and showed arrogance between his eyebrows.

"Seeking talent?"

"Most of the scholars in the world are rotten laymen, and only Kong Wenju can enter my eyes in the entire Qingzhou."

"It is rumored that Zheng Xuan's son is Kong Wenju's quasi-son-in-law, I don't know how to learn!"
