Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 58

The main force of the Yellow Turbans outside Ande City was defeated by Deng Xu in the first battle, and several recalcitrant Yellow Turban commanders were also killed.

Without the incitement and instigation of these Yellow Turban soldiers, the remaining Yellow Turbans suddenly lost their backbone.

As soon as the officers and soldiers were killed, the Yellow Turban, who still had the strength to run away, fled, not even thinking about resisting.

The old and weak women and children who had no strength to run away had despair and numbness in their eyes.

Although it is said to be Yellow Turbans, in fact, most of these Yellow Turbans are common people who cannot survive, and they were instigated and instigated by others, so they joined the Yellow Turbans in desperation.

Under the leadership of the captain of the Yellow Turban, these old and weak women and children can still be strong, and they are looking forward to whether they can eat and drink tomorrow.

But the captains of the Yellow Turbans are all dead, and all the young and strong Yellow Turbans who can escape have fled. What can the rest of them, the old and the weak, do?

On the city floor.

County lieutenant Chen Shi saw the situation clearly, and asked for orders excitedly: "Lord county magistrate, the Yellow Turban bandits have been defeated! Send troops, this is a good opportunity to make meritorious service!"

Guan Zan gave Chen Shi a hard look, and scolded, "There are old and weak women and children in the city, you want this county to send troops?"

When the Yellow Turban first arrived, Chen Shi wanted to run away, but seeing that the Yellow Turban came too fast, he had no choice but to stay in the city.

So much so that Guan Zan, the county magistrate, had to go to the city to supervise the battle in person.

As a result, the Yellow Turban was defeated for some reason, and Chen Shi wanted to go out of the city and kill some old and weak women and children to get credit.

A villain who bullies the weak and fears the hard.

Guan Zan secretly despised Chen Shi's villainous behavior.

Chen Shi was a little nonchalant: "Master County Magistrate, although they are old and weak women and children, they are also thieves."

"In the past, Lu Zhi wanted to be stable and didn't want to kill too much, but he couldn't break the Yellow Turban; but General Huangfu wanted to be ruthless, and his attitude towards the Yellow Turban Bandit was to kill. He even used the head of the Yellow Turban Bandit to build a temple in Beijing, and finally broke the Yellow Turban."

"Master County Magistrate, don't be kind to women!"

For Chen Shi's credit, Hei Lu Zhi praised Huang Fusong, and the villain's face was fully displayed.

Guan Zan glanced coldly at Chen Shi: "Chen County Captain, I would like to remind you that the current Prime Minister Ping Yuan is Lu Shangshu's disciple!"

"Defend the city, and wait for the Pingyuan's military order!"

A trace of fierceness flashed in Chen Shi's eyes, and he murmured in a low voice: "The kindness of a woman will sooner or later lead to her own consequences. Sure enough, it's better to leave this place!"

Chen Shi didn't refute Guan Zan anymore.

Anyway, they were ready to run away, so what's the point of arguing with Guan Zan?
Just now.

Deng Xu led the troops to arrive, looked at the top of the city and shouted: "I am Deng Xu, the captain of the county, and I have been ordered to destroy the thieves. Is the order of Ander here?"

Guan Zan hurriedly shouted in response: "Andering Guan Zan is here, Captain Deng, what happened to the bandits?"

Deng Xu glanced at the numb yellow-turban old and weak around him, and shouted: "Andering, breaking the bandits is a military matter of our county, so don't worry too much."

"But the people under the city, why don't they resettle them?"

Guan Zan was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Captain Deng, they are all yellow scarves—"

"Shut up!" Deng Xu yelled, "Guan Zan, you also read the books of sages, how could you say such ridiculous things?"

"Liu Bei, Prime Minister of Pingyuan, knew very well that this year's drought and the crops in the fields were not good, so he ordered the counties to gather grain in the city to help the people."

"Now that the people are suffering and come to the city to beg for food and rice, how can you treat them as yellow scarf thieves?"

"Look at them, dragging their children with their children, yellow and thin, are there any yellow scarf thieves who don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes?"

Guan Zan, Chen Shi and other officials and soldiers in Ande City were stunned by Deng Xu's question.

what's the situation?
Gather food in the city to help the common people?
When did Liu Bei issue such an order?

Didn't they gather food in the city to prevent the Yellow Turbans from grabbing food?
But then, Deng Xu's actions surprised Guan Zan and others again.

I saw Deng Xu ordering the county soldiers to distribute the dry food they carried with them to the old and weak yellow scarves in the city.

Every county soldier shouted: "On the order of Liu Bei, Prime Minister of Pingyuan, we are here to save the people!"

Simple and straightforward!
Even though the numb yellow turbans were indifferent to the dry food in their hands, the county soldiers still warmly appeased the dull yellow turbans.

Finally, an old man got up tremblingly and walked towards Deng Xu: "Dare to ask the general, is this Liu Bei, the Prime Minister of Pingyuan, the former magistrate Liu Bei of Gaotang County?"

Deng Xu looked at the old man in surprise, apparently surprised by the old man's question.

But Deng Xu reacted quickly, and nodded solemnly: "It is indeed Liu Bei, the magistrate of Gaotang County in the past! Old man, you have also heard of Liu Xiang's reputation, so you should also know Liu Xiang's reputation for benevolence."

"Because Liu Xiang took office for too short a time, he couldn't solve the sufferings of the old man and others. I hope the old man can understand!"

The old man's eyes immediately became more expectant.

"Folks, we don't have to run away!"

"Magistrate Liu became Prime Minister of Pingyuan, so we don't have to worry about not having enough to eat in the future."

The old man's reputation is obviously not small.

Soon, many yellow scarves surrounded the old man, asking who Liu Bei was.

And the old man was also trembling, telling Huang Jin the name of Liu Bei.

"That old man looks familiar."

Guan Zan on the tower looked at the old man with doubts.

The sharp-eyed soldier next to him exclaimed, "Isn't that Mr. Rong, the hermit outside the city? How could he become a Yellow Turban?"

Guan Zan was taken aback, and instantly understood Deng Xu's intentions.

Even Mr. Hermit Rong has become a yellow scarf, how many people in this city are coerced?

"Open the city gate and prepare to release food!" Guan Zan ordered solemnly.

Gao Ning, the county magistrate, was taken aback: "Master County Magistrate, the county government doesn't have much food in stock. Once the food is released, it won't be enough!"

Guan Zan snorted coldly: "If the county government doesn't store food, will the big households in the city have no food?"

"Tell them that this county is ordered by Prime Minister Liu to resettle the people and temporarily borrow their food."

Gao Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Master County Magistrate, they may not be willing to borrow it!"

"They will borrow it!" Guan Zan looked at Deng Xu in the city, and sneered, "He who knows the current affairs is a hero. At this time, who dares to offend Liu Xiang?"

Deng Xu's intention has been expressed very clearly.

These people are not yellow scarves, and it is the county magistrate's responsibility to resettle the people.

If someone dared to disobey, Prime Minister Ping Yuan would not be merciful.

This is wartime, and power is in a hurry. Liu Bei's goal is to put down the Yellow Turban rebellion in the shortest possible time.

Whoever dares to make Liu Bei unhappy at this time may be used to scare others.

Just as Guan Zan guessed, most of the wealthy households in this city are aware of current affairs.

It is not difficult for the big households to lend some money and food to resettle the yellow scarves outside the city.

It is good for everyone to solve the yellow scarf one day earlier.

soon.

A large amount of grain was transported outside the city,
With food, the numb eyes of this group of yellow scarves became hopeful.

And the name "Liu Bei" gradually existed in the minds of these yellow scarves, old and weak.

"Guan county magistrate!" Deng Xu pulled Guan Zan aside and ordered in a low voice: "Your Majesty has an order, the placement of the Yellow Turbans is the top priority, beware of the second rebellion of the Yellow Turbans, if necessary, you can kill the powerful and evil officials to stand up Shane."

So cruel!

They were all from the officialdom, how could Guan Zan not understand the meaning of Zheng Ping's order?
Guan Zan couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

If he didn't cooperate just now, he would be the one who used him as a favor!

　In chapter 51, a small change was made. Liu Bei’s genealogy was checked and it was found that besides his uncle Liu Yuanqi, Liu Bei also had an uncle, Liu Fan, named Zijing. The whereabouts of this book’s setting are unknown.

　　Liu Bei's mother was changed to the Wu family according to the genealogy.
