The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 255 Puzi City

"We are all generals and schools of the Han army, and we are all paid for food and clothing. How can we commit ourselves to being thieves!"

"I said long ago, don't let 'Moth Thief' people enter the barracks!"

A middle-aged general of the Han army was full of anger, and he yelled angrily in the tent.

Another yellow-faced military officer who was sitting with him also said coldly: "Chinese and thieves are not at odds, have you forgotten the 'Jingguan' outside Kuicheng?"

"Letting down our swords now is a way of death! The Yellow Turban Army just wants to take advantage of our danger and let us capture us without a fight, and get our weapons."

Just across from these opposing generals of the Han army, there are several generals who hold the opposite opinion.

A long-bearded Han army officer said with a look of disdain in his eyes.

"Isn't it good to wait until we leave the camp and ambush on the marching route? Why rush here now?"

"Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Dingxiang were not plundered by the Huns. It was because of the Yellow Turban Army that they repelled the Huns, not because of your nonsense!"

The yellow-faced Han Army Marquis remained silent, and a flash of anger suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that they were speechless, the long-bearded army continued: "Now the Yellow Turban Army has deployed tens of thousands of soldiers at the junction of Taiyuan County and Xihe County, and is preparing to take Xihe County. I am willing to help us with food and grass when we go north. "

The long-bearded soldier sighed and said: "Puzi City is already a lonely city. We have no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, all of them are roads to death, relatives in the family are all dead or alive, the country hates the family, now there is a way to revenge There is a way to go, why not go..."

"Integrity? Fame? I, Zhang Qi, don't care about anything now!"

Zhang Qi's face was red, and his eyes were full of blood: "My parents, relatives and friends are all in Lishi City... Don't you all know what the nature of the Huns is? I wish I could eat their flesh raw."

Because of Zhang Qi's words, all the people in the tent fell silent and stopped arguing.

Tian Zhong was holding a nine-jointed staff, paying attention to the expressions of the people in the tent. As the quarrel stopped, his eyes turned to Li De, the captain of the Han army who was sitting at the head, who had been silent all this time.

"cough."

Tian Zhong coughed lightly, and attracted the eyes of all the generals of the Han army in the tent.

"This seal letter was written by Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, and Zhang Shijun himself. As the leader of an army, the captain should recognize the handwriting of the governor of Bingzhou, right?"

Li De suddenly raised his head and stared at Tian Zhong who was standing in the tent without fear.

Tian Zhong took out the bamboo slips from his bosom, clasped his fists and said: "The Huns broke through Xihe County first, and trapped Zhang Yi in the north of Yong'an City. It was my great virtuous teacher of Taiping Road who personally raised the army to rescue him, and then repelled him." Huns."

"The matter here, Li Duwei checks Zhu Jianjian to know the authenticity."

"Everything that happened that day, Lingdi Li En, is the military officer of Taiyuan County, right? When Zhang Shijun committed suicide, Lingdi was by his side. The details of the incident are in the letter. I have a bamboo slip here. A letter from your brother."

Tian Zhong walked forward slowly, and put the two bamboo slips in his hands in front of the desk of the captain of the Han army.

Li De's complexion changed slightly. His younger brother was indeed serving as a military officer under Zhang Yi's command, but since the fall of Bingzhou, there has been no more news.

"Li Duwei naturally also learned that in the second year of Zhongping, our army invaded the hinterland of Taiyuan County in Bingzhou and captured several cities in Taiyuan County."

Li De nodded, because the Yellow Turban Army invaded Bingzhou in the second year of Zhongping and sounded the alarm for Bingzhou, so they recruited a lot of soldiers, and their food, wages and weapons became more sufficient.

"The captain must also know that our Yellow Turban Army invaded Taiyuan County, and Qiu did not commit any crimes. The cities and villages along the way were settled, and not a single place was massacred or looted."

"Captain Li doesn't need to worry about the clansmen in Yanmen County. Our army has already taken over Yanmen County. Now the reinforcements have arrived at Yanmen Pass. The Huns' invasion has been repelled by our army."

Li De frowned slightly. Although he guessed that Yanmen County was probably taken by the Yellow Turban Army, he was still a little flustered when he heard the envoy of the Yellow Turban Army.
After all, all his clan members are in Yanmen County.

Li De didn't answer Tian Zhong, he picked up the bamboo slips on the desk and began to examine them slowly.

The expression on his face also changed from seriousness to surprise to sadness.

Zhang Yi is Li De's benefactor. He was single-handedly pulled out by Zhang Yi, and he has successively served as the head of the village, the false marquis of the army, and the captain of the department...

"The fall of Bingzhou is all due to me, Zhang Yi..."

Looking up again, Li De was already in tears.

All the generals of the Han army in the tent looked surprised, but they did not ask questions, but waited for Li De to make a decision. They all believed in the captain who had been leading them.

After a long time, Li De put down the bamboo slips in his hands, and everyone looked at Li De one after another.

Li De stood up slowly, looked around at the Han army generals in the army tent, and said in a hoarse voice, "When I go north to attack the Xiongnu, I think you all know very well that it is not to fight, not to be aggressive, but to die... ..."

"The three counties of Yanmen, Dingxiang, and Taiyuan have all been controlled by the Yellow Turban Army, and there are tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army in the mountains to the south. The military rations in Puzi City are only three or four months old, and our food and grass are only ten days old. Only use it for a month, it’s a dead end.”

"However, my relatives and relatives in my family have all fallen into the hands of the Huns. How can we not avenge the hatred of the country and the family? Instead of going to the underworld together, it is better to kill the enemy and sue the souls of our hometown elders! All the crimes are borne by me, Li De. One person bears it!"

"Captain..."

Zhang Qi looked at Li De fixedly, the fog rose up, and his eyes became blurred.

All the generals of the Han army in the tent glanced at each other, bowed down together, and said in unison: "I wish to follow the captain and kill the enemy!"

Tian Zhong felt relieved, and finally passed the most difficult hurdle. Before he entered the camp, he half-truthed about the plan of the Yellow Turban Army to invade Xihe County, and the deployment of the Yellow Turban Army.

In fact, Guotai in the south does not have an army of tens of thousands at all, and can only maintain a defensive position at this stage. The Yellow Turban Army is mostly infantry, and it is temporarily unable to attack Xihe County.

A message was sent before that the Xiaoqi Battalion had just been established, and if they wanted to drive out the Huns in a field battle, it might take a while to adjust.

But at this stage, as long as these Han troops are willing to surrender, it is not a problem for these side branches to wait until the matter is a foregone conclusion.

Moreover, their situation and situation have indeed reached the point where they are at the end of their rope.

After all, as long as the Han army in Puzicheng runs out of food, it will collapse first without waiting for the Yellow Turban army to attack.

However, these soldiers from Xihe County were isolated and helpless in the north, and they had no food or grass to support them. There were only two paths of death waiting for them, one was to die in battle, and the other was to die from starvation.
