The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 49 Killing the Yellow Turban General!
"I didn't expect it to be as you said, Ziyu. If you hadn't sent Wen Yuan back to host, I'm afraid the city would have been captured by the Yellow Turban bandits."

Seeing from afar the Taoists with yellow scarves approaching from outside the city, Wei Hong's expression was very ugly.

"At the beginning, there were people in the family who insisted on staying at home and refused to leave, but now they are all in trouble."

As early as this year was approaching, Wei Tao sent Zhang Liao back.

At first, even Wei Hong was not so willing to move from Wubao to the city, but after getting Zhang Liao's promise for a while, Wei Hong still agreed.

After all, the weather is very cold. Although Wubao is good, it is not as stable as the city.

Even so, the city was in a panic due to the sudden outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. If Zhang Liao hadn't led the private soldiers of the Wei family to attack in time, beheaded all the Yellow Turban bandits in the city, and closed the city gate in time, I am afraid that it would have been easy to get here. host.

To be honest, Wei Tao didn't know how the Wei family escaped this catastrophe in history, but when he returned, he saw that his parents and family were all safe, and Wei Tao also heaved a long sigh of relief.

In fact, even if Wei Tao had a good horse, it took a few days to rush back to Chenliu. If Zhang Liao hadn't been guarding this part of the city defense at this time, Wei Tao might not have been able to enter the city.

"Ziyu, do you think this is the case in all the Han states?"

"Father, don't worry. The Yellow Turban bandits are composed of ordinary people after all, and they don't have much combat power. As long as the big man reacts, it will be enough to wipe them out."

Wei Tao understood Wei Hong's worry and smiled naturally.

"With a moment of fanaticism, we may be able to gain the upper hand at the beginning, but without a stable supply, then in the end, these yellow scarf thieves will just collapse without a fight. If it weren't for the cowardice of Huang Chengshou, with Wen Yuan's ability, they would have been able to defeat them a long time ago." The yellow turban bandits outside the city were wiped out one by one."

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Zhang Liao who was standing behind Wei Tao couldn't help but smile slightly.

Wei Ziyu who knows me also!
"Wen Yuanguo has this ability?"

But Wei Hong didn't quite believe it, but Wei Tao also smiled.

"Wen Yuan and I fought against the Huns when we were at the frontier. How does the Yellow Turban Bandit compare to the Huns?"

Wei Hong was speechless for a moment, no matter who he was, he understood that there was no comparison between the two.

Wei Hong's talents are good, he can do business, and it is possible to govern, but his ability to march and fight is not much. To be honest, he is really not as good as Wei Tao, a boy in his teens.

"Father, you don't have to worry. Now that Chenliu is in chaos, the prices of various items will definitely change. However, when the riots are settled, there will be huge benefits. If father has time, he might as well spend more time on it."

"That's fine too."

After being silent for a while, Wei Hong finally nodded, chose to believe in Wei Tao, stopped worrying about the Yellow Turban, and instead thought about how to make a profit.

Prices in the city are skyrocketing, as long as you exchange food, you can easily ask for land deed jewelry, which is impossible to obtain in normal times.

Seizing it from ordinary people will inspire them to invest in the Yellow Turban, but seizing it from the same rich and powerful families will at best make them feel pain.

Although the aristocratic family also has reserves, they will never be as sufficient as the Wei family, let alone with the current situation, which family does not want to have more reserves?
Just when Wei Hong was thinking about the matters and benefits involved, Wei Tao had already come to the county government office again.

"Wei Xianwei is here? Fast forward! Fast forward!"

In fact, Chen Liu should be said to be Chen Liuguo. In history, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was granted the title of King Chen Liu after he was forced to take the Zen throne, but now, it is the county magistrate of Chen Liu who is in charge of all affairs of the city.

Huang Wen, the county magistrate, was not a man of much talent.

In fact, in Chen Liuguo, there were not many important affairs to be handled by him in the peaceful days of the past.

But after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the rich families naturally asked the county magistrate to preside over it.

This is simply rushing ducks to the shelves, not to mention that except for the Wei family, other families are not willing to let their own private soldiers come to help at will.

Under such circumstances, when Wei Tao appeared, the county magistrate Huang immediately appointed him as a county lieutenant.

"Lord County Magistrate, now that the yellow scarves bandits are besieging Chenliu, your lord is responsible for guarding the land. Although this matter is swift and violent, if you investigate it afterwards, your lord's official position may not be stable."

Wei Tao also knew who Huang Wen was, so he was very direct when he spoke.

"Although I don't know at that time, as for ransacking the house and beheading, it is inevitable to lose the official position. If someone speaks out, it is not impossible to go to prison."

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Huang Wen's body trembled slightly.

"This... this... Brother Wei, if you have something to say, you can just say it directly, but if you have the ability to do it, you will never refuse."

"I want to go out of the city to suppress bandits."

Wei Tao smiled and said.

"There are thousands of Yellow Turban bandits, if things fail..."

It's not that Huang Wen has no ability at all, but that's why he hesitates even more.

"Your Excellency is also worried, but I only need a hundred people in the headquarters. If the matter fails, will the big clans be safe? If the matter is successful, the Lord will naturally have merit, and it will be beneficial to the Lord. .”

Wei Tao smiled slightly, and he could already see that under his own words, the other party's expression was already moved.

"As for what I'm asking for, I just hope that the Lord can support a hundred soldiers. Although my department has good horses, but no soldiers, it is really difficult to exert its strength."

Although because of Ding Yuan's acquiescence, Wei Tao was able to bring back a hundred good horses, but it was impossible for him to carry the armor on him casually.

Therefore, although the private soldiers of the Wei family are very powerful, they only use ordinary wooden sticks and the like, which cannot be regarded as official weapons.

"Okay! I'll leave this matter to Wei Xianwei!"

In the end, Huang Wen still couldn't bear the desire to keep his career, and agreed to the matter in one go.

On the second day, before Wei Tao led the people out of the city, he saw a dark mass of people rushing towards the city.

If you look carefully, you can see that apart from wearing a yellow scarf on their heads, many people have nothing on their bodies at all, and what they hold are not weapons, but rakes, shovels, wooden sticks and other things that are usually used for labor during the day.

But everyone's eyes were burning with fanaticism, as if nothing could stop them.

"Yellow...the Yellow Turban is attacking the city!"

Huang Wen is indeed a mediocre person, he can't even speak fluently at this moment.

If the chief officer is like this, the city guards, which were originally composed of temporary government servants, are naturally even more flustered.

"Master Huang, even though it seems safe, there may be losses in this dangerous place. Now, your lord is the backbone of Chen Liu. Once you are shot by an arrow, your life will be in danger, so I still ask you to go back to the city." Sitting in the center, to reassure people's hearts, I am here."

Seeing this, Wei Tao immediately laughed and said, in fact, the yellow scarf was made by poor people, who didn't even have ordinary weapons, so how could there be any strong bows and crossbows?
"I'll leave everything to Wei Xianwei."

An incompetent person is so timid. Seeing those yellow scarves approaching step by step, Huang Wen was also terrified. After saying something as usual, he immediately covered his face and fled.

It will be the courage of the soldiers. Without Huang Wen, Wei Tao will be in charge here.

Wei Tao's face was calm, and Dian Wei and Zhang Liao followed behind him, especially Dian Wei, although his face was fierce, he was able to make his soldiers feel at ease in this killing field.

"All the soldiers obey the order. Without my order, no arrows are allowed to be released. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

Zhen Jing's order made everyone feel sure, even though Wei Tao was young, but at this moment no one could doubt it.

Just when Wei Tao managed to settle down the [-] or so yamen servants, the Yellow Turban bandits had already arrived under the city wall.

At this moment, one person came out first.

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. The year is Jiazi, and the world will be prosperous! The Han Dynasty is at the end of the road, and the great virtuous and good teacher will establish a peaceful world. I am Zhao Yi, the commander of Xiaoqu. The people in the city are here!"

"The mere yellow turban bandits are also called by scholars? Dian Wei and Wen Yuan, lead our troops out of the city to fight against them, let's see what these yellow turban bandits are capable of."

Wei Tao smiled coldly, those yellow scarves behind Zhao Yi didn't even have the most basic formation, even if there were thousands of them, they were just mobs.

As soon as the city gate was opened, Wei Tao immediately led a hundred people out. The hundred people walked with their own rules, and the hundred people walked as if they were one person.

It was Wei Tao who saw on the city wall that although the yellow scarves were scattered, they had a high momentum, and from a distance, there were more than a thousand people.

If you use cavalry to attack at this time, I am afraid that you will be trapped in the crowd and cannot escape. Once you exhaust your strength at that time, you will be killed.

So at this time Wei Tao was just about to decide to set his spirits down.

"Haha... Are there more than a hundred rebellious people like you in Chenliu City? I might as well tell you that today I will lead [-] soldiers, and tomorrow I can gather more than [-] people. Ke Mie, if you dismount and surrender at this time, you can spare your life, if not, hehe..."

3000 people, even if it was a mob, Wei Tao couldn't help but feel a sinking heart.

But it was just that, Wei Tao nodded slightly to Dian Wei immediately.

"Thieves, why are there so many words, eat my Dian Wei!"

Dian Wei rushed out on horseback, shouted violently, and threw his halberd at Zhao Yi head-on!
"The dog officer is dead!"

Although he saw Dian Wei rushing towards him on horseback, Zhao Yi was not afraid at all, he swung the iron knife in his hand and slashed at Dian Wei on the horse.

"clang!"

As soon as there was a sound, countless pieces of iron were flying, and the halberd didn't stop, smashing Zhao Yi's head directly.

Before dying, Zhao Yi's eyes revealed a kind of disbelief.

Doesn't it mean that as long as you believe in a great virtuous and good teacher, you can be invincible, invincible, and you won't die?
It's a pity that Zhao Yi couldn't find the answer. Fighting infantry against cavalry was naturally the result. Even with Dian Wei's bravery, he could barely protect himself, let alone a little-known Zhao Yi?
