People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 34 Sending the Righteous Master

It took the Yellow Turbans nearly two days to distribute all the supplies. After completing this task, they assembled under Xu Chen's command and were now ready to set off.

When the less than four thousand Yellow Turbans formed up in battle array, their appearance was completely different from before.

Both their mental state and complexion have reached a full state. This is the change brought to them by the continuous victories and sufficient material supply during this period.

As long as you can eat well and sleep well, and as long as everything goes well, your condition will naturally be good.

Not only that, the Yellow Turbans are now equipped with brand new equipment. They used to wear mostly rags, but now they wear leather or wooden armor, and the weapons in their hands are also replaced with sophisticated swords, bows and arrows.

These things did not come from government offices. In fact, the government was not that rich.

They were all materials plundered from the aristocratic families. The aristocratic families were the truly wealthy ones in the Han Dynasty.

Even the most ordinary powerful family would have no problem maintaining two or three hundred armed servants, so naturally there would be weapons and equipment made for them, and now all these things have been bought by Xu Chen.

The 4,000 Yellow Turbans who fled in panic and the well-equipped and powerful Yellow Turbans are two completely different things.

Now that the Yellow Turbans had gathered, their momentum changed instantly, and when Wang Dang, the Yellow Turban leader, saw this, he was a little stunned.

He felt that they did not look like the Yellow Turbans at all, but rather more like government soldiers. Moreover, they were not ordinary local government soldiers, but the elite Han army.

The Yellow Turbans have always been in a miserable state. When have they ever fought such a prosperous war?

Of course, Wang Dang was not completely fooled by this appearance. He knew that although the Yellow Turbans were now well-equipped and had high morale, they could not compare with the real elite Han army. With the same strength, they could probably only compete with the local county soldiers.

Apart from equipment, the biggest difference between the Yellow Turbans and the officers and soldiers is the difference in training between the two sides.

Although the frequency of the Han people's training drills is very low, it is better than nothing. At least they have the basic ability to organize formations and can be considered "soldiers" in the true sense of the word.

The peasant armies like the Yellow Turbans had no systematic training at all. When they started fighting, they just rushed in in a chaotic manner without any order at all.

The Yellow Turbans' 4,000 troops are equivalent to 4,000 troops, and when officers and soldiers form battle formations and fight in coordination, the 4,000 troops may be able to exert the combat power of 6,000 or even higher.

Although the Yellow Turbans have taken advantage of the Han army twice through clever ambushes and now have good morale and are equipped with sophisticated weapons and equipment, they are still essentially a group of peasant soldiers.

Wang Dang was qualified as a general and knew the army under his command well, so he quickly came to his senses.

If you dare to be arrogant with such little strength, you won’t know how you will die in the future.

There were nearly four thousand soldiers, one thousand of whom rode on horses seized from Fu Xie, and the remaining three thousand could only walk. Now that the entire army had recovered, they slowly walked towards the city gate under the leadership of Xu Chen.

But on the road, more and more people came out of their homes, slowly blocking the road.

Without waiting for Xu Chen to react, they suddenly knelt on the ground, and some elderly people began to cry and shout excitedly.

"Tianshi, you can't leave. If you leave, no one will take care of us. Please stay. You will be the county magistrate of our Zhuo County in the future!" "Yes, we want to believe in religion, but if Tianshi is not here, where can we go to believe?"

"We are no longer the common people of the Han Dynasty. We will only be your followers from now on!"

Xu Chen was silent for a while, then he dismounted, walked to these people and helped them up one by one. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just sighed.

Looking at their sincere and hopeful eyes, Xu Chen felt more helpless. He was destined to disappoint these people.

Do they really believe in the way of nature? Xu Chen feels that they believe more in themselves. In this era, except for himself, it seems that no one is willing to move the mountains on their heads for them, and no one is willing to return their wealth to them.

He felt that the people here did not feel safe, so they were so eager for him to stay. They seemed to really regard him as their support and hope.

"My fellow villagers, live a good life, I will definitely come back."

Xu Chen smiled, trying to give them a relaxed atmosphere, and then he pointed to the sky.

"The gods have revealed to me that I must save the people of the world. I cannot stay in this place. I must go and help more people. When I come back in the future, I will not leave."

The people were greatly disappointed. They wanted to persuade them to stay, but before they could open their mouths, Xu Chen stretched out his hand to stop them.

Seeing Xu Chen shaking his head and smiling, the old people shed tears but finally swallowed their words. They understood that there was no way to keep Xu Chen.

In this case, let the Heavenly Master leave peacefully and don't make things difficult for him.
They watched Xu Chen get back on his horse, and then watched him and the Yellow Turbans slowly walk towards the city gate.

The people on both sides followed him spontaneously, and kept stuffing dry food into their arms. They followed until Xu Chen was finally about to walk out of the city gate, and then they started crying sadly.

"Master, you must come back!"

Xu Chen, who was sitting on the horse, stiffened for a moment, but he did not look back. Instead, he continued to ride out in silence.

In fact, he was not the only one who felt uncomfortable. Wang Dang beside him and the Yellow Turbans behind him were also feeling depressed at this time.

Sincere emotions are always mutual. The actions of the Yellow Turbans were recognized by the people and earned their respect and love.

The Yellow Turbans felt the people's passionate emotions and gained great spiritual satisfaction themselves, but it was inevitable that they felt sad at the time of separation.

It was at this time that the Yellow Turbans truly felt that what they were doing was meaningful and that their rebellion was correct.

There have never been any kings or nobles. Everything depends on ourselves. We need to do more things like this and save more people. Only in this way can we truly realize the concept of natural way!
Such a harmonious scene between the military and civilians amazed many people.

For example, Fu Xie and Ju Shou among the captives could not help but look at each other in confusion, but after being surprised, they felt a stronger sense of worry in their hearts.

These Yellow Turbans have only been here for a few days, but the people have already become so loyal to them. If they are allowed to occupy more territory and stay here longer, they will be in big trouble!
Officers and soldiers of Youzhou, you must work harder to destroy them as soon as possible. This evil Taoist priest is getting more and more weird!
