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

Chapter 82
Seeing that Tai Shici had no armor on his body, Kong Rong ordered someone to fetch a complete set of armor for Tai Shici to put on.

Tai Shici did not refuse.

Although he was able to break through to the city single-handedly, it was Tai Shici who took advantage of the dusk when the bandits were exhausted and caught the Yellow Turban bandits by surprise, and then shot and killed seven people in a row to shock the Yellow Turban bandits.

Now if you want to break out of the siege and ask for help, you will inevitably be surrounded by the Yellow Turban bandits.

On the battlefield, it is easy to hide a sharp spear, but difficult to defend against a hidden arrow.

Even with Tai Shici's martial arts skills, he didn't dare to take it easy.

There is a difference between armor and armor.

For example, Sun Ce, wearing armor, is a little overlord. He can drink the enemy to death, but when he takes off his armor, he can't even avoid the arrows of Xu Gong's assassin.

Tapping the breastplate lightly, Tai Shici moved his arms slightly to let his body adapt to the armor.

"Mr. Wen Ju, close the city gate as soon as I leave the city." Tai Shici saluted Kong Rong with his fists cupped, then turned his horse's head sideways to face the closed city gate.

The war horse also snorted rhythmically.

"Open the city gate!"

Kong Rong gave an order, and the city gate gradually opened.

Tai Shici put down his helmet, only his eyes were exposed, and then he shook the reins violently, causing the horse's four hooves to stir up dust like a wind.

When Tai Shici was out of the city, Kong Rong ordered the city gate to be closed, and then hurriedly climbed up the tower.

Suddenly, a roar was heard outside the city, like thunder on the ground, startling the yellow scarf soldiers below the city.

"Donglai Taishi Ci is here, anyone who stands in my way will die!"

The Hun iron spear spit out letters like a poisonous snake, and all the yellow scarf soldiers who stood in the way were stabbed to death by Tai Shici.

Wearing armor and riding a steed, Tai Shici is like a tiger and leopard entering a flock of sheep, invincible and unstoppable!
Most of these yellow turban bandits have no armor, their weapons are not sharp enough, and there is no army formation against the brave generals.

The knife couldn't cut it in, the arrow couldn't hurt him, and he couldn't catch up with him after chasing him, so he could only watch helplessly as Tai Shici fought a bloody path.

"This is a real warrior!"

"With Ziyi's help, he will no longer be afraid of the heroic generals under the command of Thief Dong!"

Kong Rong on the top of the wall was subconsciously amazed.

Zong Bao and Sun Shao next to him were even more dumbfounded.

Especially Zongbao.

Although Zong Bao also relied on his bravery, it was impossible for him to single-handedly charge like Tai Shici!

Before Tai Shici, several waves of warriors tried to break out of the encirclement to ask for help, but they were all killed by the Yellow Turban Bandit, which made the morale of the guards at the top of the city much lower.

But now, Tai Shici successfully broke a bloody path among the Yellow Turban bandits, and the guards at the top of the city couldn't help cheering.

Someone breaks out of the siege, which means that Jucheng is no longer an isolated city. Although we don't know when reinforcements will arrive, at least the guards at the top of the city have expectations.

This sluggish morale can also recover a lot.

"Order, let the quartermaster cook mutton soup and reward the soldiers." Seeing the cheers of the guards, Kong Rong immediately ordered, knowing that the opportunity must not be missed.

This kind of meat is not something ordinary soldiers can eat, and having broth is already a luxury.

Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, to be able to drink warm mutton soup is simply not too refreshing.

All of a sudden, the cheers of the guards at the top of the city became louder.

Some people are happy and some are sad.

Seeing the unprecedented high morale at the top of the city, Zhang Rao, the Yellow Turban bandit, was so angry that he beheaded two little Yellow Turban bosses.

"Trash! It's all a bunch of trash!"

"Thousands of people guarded the crossing, and were single-handedly killed into the city, and then single-handedly broke out from the city."

"What's the use of Ben Qu handsome raising you!"

Zhang Rao was swearing, and none of the yellow turban soldiers around him dared to speak back, each of them felt quite wronged.

Thousands of people are right, but most of them are old and weak women and children, who dares to move forward?

Then Tai Shici is wearing armor and riding a horse, hard to hurt with swords and arrows, and is determined to break through, who can stop him?
"Kong Rong dares to ask for reinforcements, so don't blame Ben Qu for being rude."

"Order the ministries to storm the drama city tomorrow."

"Let the old and weak from Juxian come first. Doesn't Kong Rong claim to be a great scholar? Ben Qushuai sees if he is saving the villagers of Juxian, or kill them as bandits!"

More than [-] yellow scarves, a considerable part of which were coerced.

Due to Zhang Rao's ruthlessness, these old and weak in Juxian either starved to death, were killed by bandit soldiers, or had to follow Zhang Rao's order to attack the city!
Zhang Rao will not easily let the young and strong yellow scarf block the arrows and logs at the top of the city.

Like Xu Qi and Sima Fear, the current Qingzhou Huangjin Qushuai is no longer the group of Taiping Taoists who wanted to fight for a Huangtian to come to the world and make the world peaceful.

Most of the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai are just thieves who use their power to harm the people under the name of Huang Jin Qu Shuai.

If you don't study the "Taiping Jing", you won't be good at Taoism, you won't be able to heal diseases with water, and you don't understand what it is to build a peaceful society. Such a yellow scarf can only be called a yellow scarf thief, not a Taoist of Taiping. .

People who have no heart are thieves, even if they wear yellow scarves, they are still just a group of thieves who are causing trouble for the world.

official way.

A troop of about 3000 soldiers marched solemnly.

There is no neighing of horses, no noise of people.

It was Liu Bei and Guan Yu who came from Gaotang City, and Zheng Ping and Ying Xun who came from Fenggao City.

The two troops joined forces at the border between Qi State and Taishan County, and headed towards Beihai State.

But the depression and ruins along the way made Liu Bei quite shocked and uncomfortable.

The Yellow Turbans in the nine counties of Pingyuan were defeated one by one, and now order has gradually been restored.

However, the Jinan and Qi countries that passed by along the way were full of refugees and starved to death.

"No wonder Xu He can easily gather more than [-] people. The powerful have food but don't save the people, the officials have power but don't care for the people, and the sky doesn't give people a way to live. Apart from being a thief, what other way out?"

Looking at the starved people on the side of the road, and the refugees who stared at the truck with scarlet eyes from time to time, Liu Bei became even more angry.

But Liu Bei knew that even if the food and grass on the truck were distributed, it would not be able to solve the refugees everywhere.

On the contrary, these three thousand soldiers and horses will be in trouble.

Ying Xun has been in Fenggao for a long time, and Taishan County is under Ying Shao's governance, and there are almost no yellow scarf refugees.

Therefore, Ying Xun's reaction was shocking when he saw the refugees all over Qingzhou and the hungry people on the roadside.

"Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, is more famous and talented than his elder brother. How could Qingzhou become like this?" Ying Xun couldn't figure out how, with Jiaohe's fame and talent, how could Qingzhou become like a purgatory on earth.

Zheng Ping sighed softly: "Since the fifth year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou have gradually become popular."

"As the governor of Qingzhou, I don't restrain the powerful and bully the people, I don't investigate and deal with corrupt officials and officials who break the law and discipline, I don't experience the suffering of the people, I don't punish thieves and bandits. Go west and ask for a name for Dong Xu."

"Qingzhou yellow scarves can evolve into today's disaster, Jiao He is to blame!"

Guan Yu is the one who is most touched by the collusion of powerful bullies with corrupt officials to harm one side. At this time, he also opened his eyes angrily: "Jiao He can't serve the country at the top, and can't calm the people at the bottom. What kind of face is alive in the world?"

"Guan wants to kill this thief with his own hands!"

Ying Xun looked at Guan Yu in surprise.

Are all Liu Bei's subordinates so ruthless when he kills the governor of Qingzhou?

Just as he was talking, the pawns in front rode their horses.

"Report! There is a cavalry general blocking the way at the intersection ahead, threatening to see the lord!"

Liu Bei was slightly taken aback: "Where is the cavalry general? Do you know the name?"

The cavalry pawn shook his head: "I don't know, the cavalry general hasn't given his name, so he is very cautious!"

Guan Yu narrowed his phoenix eyes, raised his knife and rode his horse: "Brother, you are in the armed forces and you must not move lightly. Let my brother go and ask."

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "If you don't dare to announce your name, you must be harboring ulterior motives, or this cavalry general has a very important mission."

"Beihai is in front of us, maybe it's Kong Beihai's cavalry general."

"Let's meet together!"

After speaking, Liu Bei rode forward.

Zheng Ping, Guan Yu and Ying Xun all followed.

"Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Bei is here, but the general is looking for me?" Liu Bei shouted out of the battle.

Guan Yu followed closely with his Yanyue knife in hand, for fear that the cavalry general in front of him would suddenly violently attack and hurt others.

The cavalry general glanced at Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and his eyes fell on Zheng Ping behind Liu Bei, and he was overjoyed.

Immediately, the cavalier took off his helmet and echoed loudly: "Donglai Taishici, under the order of Beihai Prime Minister Wen Jugong, went to Pingyuan County for help."

"Seeing that Xuande's soldiers and horses passed through this place, so I stopped the way to ask."

Seeing Tai Shici self-declared his identity, Zheng Ping also rode forward, and his words became more joyful: "Brother Ziyi, when did you return to Qingzhou?"

Tai Shici laughed loudly: "I just returned to Qingzhou not long ago! I wanted to go to Gaomi to find you, but I found out that you went to Pingyuan County and married Wen Jugong's daughter. Congratulations."

Seeing that Zheng Ping was familiar with Tai Shici, Liu Bei quickly asked, "Xianmou, is this Tai Shici your old friend?"

Zheng Ping nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Tai Shici is a famous official in Donglai, and his name is Ziyi. His mother, Mrs. Liu, comes from the Liu family in Donglai, and has connections with Liu Dai and Liu Yao."

"Ziyi is courageous and trustworthy. He took refuge in Liaodong only because he offended the state officials."

"When I was traveling in Zhuzhou and counties, I got to know Ziyi like an old friend. Ziyi is also someone I can absolutely trust!"

Liu Bei is awe-inspiring.

Someone who can be trusted by Zheng Ping will not be a treacherous villain.

How can such a righteous man not make friends?
While talking, Tai Shici had already rode his horse towards him.

Seeing Tai Shici's majestic appearance and ape-armed beard, Liu Bei was surprised, but also a little more appreciative.

Talking with him, and seeing Tai Shici's boldness in his answers, Liu Bei's heart grew a five-point favor.

Hearing that Tai Shici entered the drama city single-handedly, and broke out of the siege single-handedly, Liu Bei was even more amazed. Even Guan Yu couldn't help but look at Tai Shici a few more times.

Although the yellow turban bandits are mostly mobs, not everyone can enter and exit the army.

"Brother Ziyi, how is the defense of Jucheng?" After all, the father-in-law and daughter-in-law are both in Jucheng, Zheng Ping said that he was not worried, but it was a lie.

Tai Shici had been prepared for a long time and informed Zheng Ping of the defense situation in Jucheng one by one.

Liu Bei was even more pleasantly surprised when he saw that Tai Shici's statement was logical and well-organized.

Although he became Prime Minister of Pingyuan, there are too few talents under Liu Bei's command.

Not only is there a lack of civil servants, but there is also a shortage of fierce generals who can fight!

The Tai Shici in front of him was able to break out from the encirclement of more than [-] yellow scarves, and his bravery can be regarded as the best in the world.He doesn't behave like a rude person, how can he not be favored by Liu Bei?

After Tai Shici finished talking about the defense situation of Jucheng and the enemy's situation, Zheng Ping already had a relatively clear understanding of the strength of the enemy and us.

"Your Majesty, if Ziyi breaks through the siege and rescues Zhang Rao, he will definitely attack Jucheng in shame and anger. We must rush to Jucheng as soon as possible." Zheng Ping said solemnly.

Liu Bei immediately restrained himself: "How does Xianmou plan to march?"

Ying Xun also looked at Zheng Ping.

After joining forces with Liu Bei, Ying Xun realized that the Yellow Turbans in the nine counties in the plain, except for the Yellow Turbans in Gaotang County, were almost all designed by Zheng Ping to defeat them.

And Guan Yu was able to defeat the Yellow Turban in Gaotang County because Zheng Ping had integrated the wealthy private soldiers in Gaotang County in advance, and helped Liu Bei gather food in the city, which broke Xu Qi's trick of coercing the people.

"With few enemies, if you attack them, you must save them."

"More than [-] yellow scarves consume a lot of food and grass every day. Ordinary old and weak can be without food, but Zhang Rao's [-] yellow scarves can't be without food."

"Therefore, Zhang Rao must have a place to store grain outside the city."

"However, Zhang Rao relied on the large number of people and gathered troops to besiege the city. He would only choose a convenient place for his grain storage, and would not choose a hidden place. I don't think it will be difficult to find out."

"You can send scouts to investigate Zhang Rao's food storage, and then gather troops to attack!"

"When Zhang Rao heard the news, he would definitely send his army to rescue him. I'll feign defeat and lead him into a narrow place to defeat the enemy."

Zheng Ping stated the policy of defeating the enemy in a concise manner.

For a yellow turban thief like Zhang Rao, there is no need for too advanced strategies.

Strategies that are too profound will be difficult to work.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you predict the opponent's next reaction.

Liu Bei also understood these principles, and immediately handed over the right to mobilize troops and horses to Zheng Ping, who would issue specific tactical orders.

Tai Shici volunteered and led more than a dozen scouts to investigate the food storage areas of the Yellow Turban bandits.

Liu Bei personally led the army and marched towards the theater city.

It was already the evening of the third day when we arrived outside the drama city.

And the defense of Jucheng has reached the end of its strength.

Because Kong Rong couldn't bear to shoot and kill the old and weak in Juxian who were trapped under the city, most of the defense equipment could not be used, so that many yellow turban bandits climbed onto the tower.

The defenders of this drama city have to fight hand-to-hand with the Yellow Turban bandits on the tower most of the time.

"Ziyi has been out of the city for five days. I don't know when I can ask for reinforcements." Kong Rong was very distressed, but he knew it very well.

Even if Taishi Ci can travel thousands of miles a day to reach Pingyuan County, it is difficult for the soldiers of Pingyuan County to reach Jucheng in a short time.

"Lieutenant Zong Du, you send a troop to gather the families of the officials."

"If the bandits break the city, immediately escort the family members of the officials to Zhuxu City."

Kong Rong looked solemn.

Zhang Rao took the old and weak people as his forerunner, and this drama city could not be defended for a few days.

If the city is broken, the families of the officials will be the first to be humiliated by the Yellow Turban bandit soldiers, which Kong Rong does not want to see!
Zong Bao was very annoyed: "Damn Zhang Rao, it's hateful to use such indecent tricks!"

Although very angry with Zhang Rao, Zong Bao was helpless.

If you go out of the city, you can't fight, you can't defend the city, and reinforcements are delayed.

"Is there really no chance of winning?"
