Chapter 70 Yellow Turban Siege!

When Luoyang's army defeated Hongnong and attacked Hangu Pass, Xun Yu and Qin Qiong who were heading to Qingzhou encountered danger.

Because Yanzhou is occupied by Liu Dai, the troops led by the two need to detour and go to the place occupied by Cao Cao.

Along Shanyang, Rencheng, Boyang, Pingchang to Beihai to receive the resources left by Kong Rong, and then go to Linzi to take charge of Qingzhou.

But the problem arises here. Going forward from Boyang is the boundary of Mount Tai.

There is a powerful group of Taishan thieves entrenched here, who are the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army.

Its leader is Zang Ba, who has Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and others under his command. At the same time, there is another group of yellow scarf bandits in Taishan County headed by Chang Xi.

Both sides supported hundreds of thousands of troops and were stationed around Mount Tai.

Historically, even Cao Cao, who was sitting in the north, had nothing to do with this group of people, and finally ceded the two states of Qing and Xu to Zang Ba.

He also granted the city of Licheng to Wu Dun, Dongguan to Yin Li, Beihai to Sun Guan, and Chang Xi to the governor of Donghai...

Finally, the gang of thieves were appeased.

But in this life, these thieves are facing Liu Xie, who has several states, numerous elite soldiers and generals under his command, and is also a righteous man. It will be impossible to cause trouble for one side.

At this time, Xun Yu and Qin Qiong were trapped in Pingchang, only one step away from the North Sea, but like a chasm across the sky.

"Although I was prepared when I came, there are too many yellow turban bandits. They are almost everywhere. It is hard to imagine how the people here survive?"

Qin Qiong was a little sad. Along the way, bones were exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crow for thousands of miles.

Villages were destroyed and fertile farmland wasted.

A miserable situation in the world.

"There are no common people, even if there are any, they are all coerced by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and become one of them. They roar in the mountains and forests, do not engage in production, and rely on robbery for a living, making it even more difficult for the originally poor people to survive. In the end, they can only join in the same deeds with them.

Only then did the two states of Qingxu and the Yellow Turban remnants wreak havoc. "

Xun Yu's face was very ugly. The tragic situation here was more complicated than he imagined.

And this is only Zang Ba, the Yellow Turban thief under Chang Xi, and the two thief Zhang Rao Guan Hai mentioned by Kong Rong have not yet appeared.

No wonder His Majesty sent two of you to Qingzhou. If this place is allowed to develop, it will probably become a deserted place.

"You two adults, why don't you take a rest first? These Yellow Turban remnants have very mediocre fighting power and lack of supplies. Let them surround you for a few days. When they run out of food, you will retreat to other places, and you two adults will be able to go smoothly. Heading to the North Sea."

The Pingchang County Magistrate was smiling all over his face, as if he was not surprised.

"As an official of the imperial court, is this how you protect His Majesty's side? Just watch the Yellow Turban thieves wreak havoc and remain indifferent?"

Qin Qiong asked angrily.

"Please tell me, General, I am a small town in Pingchang County. There are only three to five hundred soldiers including the government officials. Look outside the city. There are at least 5 people. Going out of the city to fight against thieves is a dead end.

It's not that the official corpse is a vegetarian, but it's that there's nothing you can do! "

The Pingchang County Magistrate was almost crying.

Three hundred against thirty thousand, the person on the other side can drown himself with just a spit of spit.

Moreover, the hungry yellow turban thief was simply not a human being. In other words, they could even eat a human being.

These 500 people can only afford one meal across the street!

Once the city gate is opened, Pingchang County will be completely ruined.

"General Shu Bao, please don't be angry. Your Majesty also told you when you came here that the Yellow Turban bandits are not so much bandits as they are Han people who cannot survive. We are here not only to pacify Qingzhou, but also to restore Qingzhou." The grand occasion of the past is revealed.

To achieve this effect, manpower is naturally indispensable.

So these yellow scarf thieves have other uses. "

Now it is Liu Xie who speaks in person, otherwise who would dare to pardon these rebellious bandits.

He's been sprayed to death a long time ago.But when the emperor agreed, it was different.

At the same time, it also gave Xun Yu an extra trump card.

He didn't believe that these yellow turban thieves all became bandits of their own free will, and they were born to like to rob homes and homes.

Unwilling to engage in production and live a stable life.

Most people would definitely like peace.

But who can give them peace?

When they began to pick up hoes, wooden sticks, wear yellow scarves on their heads, and shouted the slogan "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian shall stand".

It is destined that no matter where they go, no one will receive them.

Even if they were willing to surrender, massacre awaited them.

After all, rebellion is a serious crime for the Nine Clans.

"Mr. Wen Ruo, is it possible that we still need these yellow turban thieves at hand?"

"That's natural. Your Majesty personally gave the order to the people of the Han Dynasty. Try not to hurt them as much as possible. If their leader knows the power of the Han Dynasty and surrenders voluntarily, his life can be spared to see the consequences.

If there is a stubborn resistance, only the evil leader will be killed, and the rest will be scattered and returned to the fields. "

Xun Yu was also frightened by Liu Xie's courage at first.

Since ancient times, no one who rebels can survive.

After all, if the rebellion does not involve beheading, then there will definitely be more and more followers.

But Liu Xie used other words to wake up Xun Yu. He said: "If the rebels are nobles from aristocratic families, they will definitely be killed, because they already enjoy the support of the Han Dynasty, and the rebellion is just for their own selfish interests.

But the people are different. If the people can live and work in peace and contentment, why bother to risk beheading to rebel?
Since the people cannot live and work in peace and contentment, what's wrong with them seeking a way to survive for themselves?
So let them live. "

"Follow His Majesty's decree!"

Xun Yu carried Liu Xie out. Qin Qiong could only do what he did.

"But we can't look at it like this. If we want to let these Yellow Turban thieves know His Majesty's Holy Grace, we must first inform the officers and men in the city of His Majesty's Holy Edict, and have them shout loudly at the same time. We must let the Yellow Turbans outside the city hear clearly.

At the same time, let the people in the city know about this, and the faster it spreads, the better.

The county magistrate issued a notice as soon as possible to prove the legality of the matter.

The Yellow Turbans are not monolithic. As long as His Majesty's grace is known to them, there will definitely be a large number of Yellow Turbans who want to return to the embrace of the Han Dynasty.

When the time comes, the thief will defeat himself without attacking. "

Xun Yu's words seemed to be loud and clear.

Only Your Majesty can do this. The other false kings may not dare to accept the Yellow Turban thieves even if they lay down their weapons and join them.

"Follow the order!"

……

"Big leader, what do you think the group of people from Luoyang want to do? Do they really want to drive us all away and kill them all?"

Sun Guan asked anxiously.

"A certain family doesn't know. Those people are well-equipped and well-trained. If they weren't trying to deal with us, they wouldn't be here."

Zang Ba looked heavy and didn't know what he was thinking.

Although Qin Qiong led only 7000 troops this time, they were all heavy cavalry, which in this era was equivalent to [-] armored vehicles. The Yellow Turban Army was made of flesh and blood, and no matter how large the number was, it could not withstand the attack of the heavy cavalry.
