The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 93 I Won't Attack My Own People

Cao Cao led the army to leave Huainan and went straight to Yecheng.

Yuan Xu only brought a few hundred guards, accompanied by Tian Feng, Zhang Xi, Gao Lan and others, and marched south.

There were not many of them, and they marched very fast.

Before Cao Cao's army entered Yuzhou, Yuan Xu had already reached Ruyin.

Ruyin belongs to Runan County, not far from Huainan.

The Ying River flows by the city, building a natural barrier.

In seizing Xudu, Yuan Xu did not expand his results, so he did not capture Ruyin either.

When he went outside the city, Ruyin officials actually took the initiative to open the city gate.

The notoriety of summoning murderous corpses has already spread, and he is committed to local construction. Taiyuan has a good harvest, and the people everywhere are full of expectations for him.

The thinking of the people is very simple.

They didn't care whether Yuan Xu used sorcery.

They will support whoever can fill their stomachs and live a stable life.

Cao Cao launched a crusade in the name of using demon methods to disrupt the world.

But when he entered the city, the people of Ruyin lined up on both sides of the street to welcome him.

Entering the city, the magistrate of Ruyin followed behind Yuan Xu.

Yuan Xu asked him, "Why did you surrender the city?"

"Young master's reputation is spread all over the world." The county magistrate replied tremblingly: "Young master is here, and the army and people in Ruyin are full of joy. How dare I go against the hearts of the army and the people?"

"Cao Cao's army is not far away." Yuan Xu asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

"With the young master here, there is nothing to be afraid of." The county magistrate replied: "Didn't the Nanhua immortals also be repelled by the young master?"

"He was indeed repelled once, but this time he came again." Yuan Xu said: "His ability is not ordinary..."

"The soldiers and civilians in the city are willing to go through fire and water with you!" the county magistrate suddenly said.

Yuan Xu was surprised.

It would not surprise him at all that the local officials who were conquered by him said so.

He did not attack Ruyin.

Ruyin has never seen a city besieged by murderous corpses.

The county magistrate suddenly expressed his loyalty, which caught him off guard.

"You are a sensible person." Yuan Xu nodded approvingly and asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?"

"There are not many soldiers in the county." The county magistrate replied, "There are only more than 300 soldiers defending the city..."

"Call all of them together, I want to requisition." Yuan Xu said: "Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops are approaching, and many things cannot be done with only the murderous corpses."

"I'll do it right away." The county magistrate ordered the county lieutenant: "Gather all the people together, and recruit some civilian husbands to obey the command of the young master."

The county lieutenant left in a hurry to deal with this matter.

After entering the city, Yuan Xu settled down first, and then called Tian Feng and others to climb to the top of the city.

The county magistrate was always by his side.

Pointing to the outside of the city, Yuan Xu asked, "How many dead people have there been in Ruyin in recent years?"

"Too many." The county magistrate sighed: "When the Yellow Turbans were rioting, Ruyin was considered a serious disaster, and countless people were killed or starved to death."

The corner of Yuan Xu's mouth curled into a smile.

County magistrates are not stupid.

Seeing that Yuan Xu was smiling, he asked cautiously, "Do you want to know how many dead bodies there are?"

"Exactly." Yuan Xu replied: "How can tens of thousands of enemy troops be resisted with only a few hundred people in the city? My thousands of troops are all from dead bodies."

"Young master will definitely be able to repel Cao Cao and keep the side safe." The county magistrate responded with a bow.

"Present the case." Yuan Xu ordered the guards.

The guards set up a low table at the head of the city.

Putting on the ghost piano, Yuan Xu played a tune that Tian Feng was familiar with and could imitate.

The county magistrate had never seen a dead body summoned before, so he stood aside, his expression inevitably showing panic.

Black air seeped out of his body and surrounded Yuan Xu, as if forbidding anyone to approach him.

The sound of the piano was heard far away.

Looking outside the city, the county magistrate did not see the rumored murderous corpse.

The black air lingering around Yuan Xu made him feel weird, and everything else seemed to be normal.

"Tian Gong, son, this is..." He asked Tian Feng cautiously.

Tian Feng made a silent gesture.

The county magistrate dared not speak any more.

After a while, Tian Feng whispered to him: "Here we come."

Looking out of the city again, the county magistrate saw shadows of people in the distance, and countless people were coming here.

His eyes were wide open, and his nervous palms were soaked with sweat.

Yuan Xu was still playing the qin, and the melodious sound of the qin echoed in Ruyin City.

The figures that appeared in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the county magistrate finally saw clearly that what was coming was not people, but tattered corpses.

"Tian Gong... this..." Countless dead bodies approached Ruyin City, and the county magistrate was inevitably worried: "Will they attack the soldiers and civilians in the city?"

"Don't worry." Tian Feng explained: "Young master has never lost control of driving the murderous corpses. We have walked around among the murderous corpses, but nothing happened."

After getting this sentence, the county magistrate was relieved.

Yuan Xu, who was still playing the ghost piano, said at this moment: "Mr. Deng, take the county officials out of the city."

Deng Zhan took the order and said to the county magistrate and other Ruyin officials: "Everyone, please follow me."

Although Deng Zhan led the way, the officials in Ruyin were still uneasy.

After Yuan Xu spoke, they didn't dare not go, so they had to follow Deng Zhan down the city wall.

Walking out of the city gate, Deng Zhan strode forward to meet the group of murderous corpses.

The officials were not as calm as he was, and all shrank their heads, wondering whether they should move.

After throwing them more than ten steps away, Deng Zhan turned around and said, "Do you want to go together, gentlemen?" "

"Yes, yes..." The county magistrate responded incessantly, calling all the officials: "Follow Mr. Deng."

If it wasn't for Yuan Xu's words, he wished he could turn around immediately, why would he follow Deng Zhan?

The officials' legs were weak, but they quickened their pace and followed.

As they got closer and closer to the murderous corpse, they smelled a strong stench of corpses.

Clothes are harder to rot than flesh, and the murderous corpse, with tattered cloth strips hanging from it, walked towards them step by step.

Deng Zhan stopped and did not explain what the officials should do.

All the officials also stopped, and the timid ones even squatted down with their heads covered, trembling uncontrollably.

The vicious corpses passed by them, and some turned their heads to look over.

Some officials bravely looked at the murderous corpses, stared at their empty eye sockets, trembled in fright, and quickly closed their eyes.

The murderous corpse walked towards the city gate like a tide.

None of them stopped, let alone attacked Deng Zhan and others.

More and more murderous corpses walked over, and the officials became more courageous when they found that there was no danger.

The officials holding their heads peeked at the murderous corpse first, feeling that there was no threat, they stood up slowly.

Corpse Smelly's head swelled and ached, but his heart was much more stable.

"The young master drives the murderous corpses, and he never attacks his own people." Deng Zhan explained: "If you are not following the young master but Cao Cao, it will be completely different."

"I would like to swear to follow the young master to the death." The county magistrate responded quickly.

Deng Zhan greeted them: "Look and see, let's go back to the city."

Not being attacked by the vicious corpse, the officials were still a little panicked, wishing to go back immediately, how could they not agree?
