Three Kingdoms: Starting from the Need for a Small County Magistrate

Page 55

After all, Zhang Bao was also a general of the Duke of Earth, and he was quite prestigious among the Yellow Turbans.

He personally led the team, and should not be underestimated.

Xiao Yi immediately ordered the whole city to sound the alarm, and the entire Zhuo County went into a state of first-level alert.

"Xiao Jun, why didn't you ask Fan Yang and Jixian for help?"

Hearing that the Yellow Turban army had come, and Zhang Bao himself led the team, Lu Zhi also left his lessons and ran to the city wall.

Along with him was Xun You.

These days, Xun You has been thinking about the meaning of that poem, and finally he has come to understand a little bit.

However, this poem alone could not convince him.

He never knew how to meet Xiao Yi, so he didn't come to the door for a long time.

This time he heard that the Yellow Turban army was coming, and he also wanted to contribute to Zhuo County and repay Xiao Yi's kindness.

"If the Yellow Turban thieves want to come to us, they must first pass through Fan Yang.

However, we did not receive a warning from Fan Yang, why is this?"

Xiao Yi said coldly.

Han Zhuo, very good! "I remember that Han Zhuo, the prefect of Fan Yang, is the clan of Han Kui, the regular attendant of the middle school."

The mention of the ten permanent servants made Lu Zhi's teeth itch with hatred.

"But Liu Bo'an, the prefect of Youzhou, is a clan of the Han family and has a reputation for benevolence. Why don't you ask him for help? Even if you're not afraid of the Yellow Turban thieves, it's always good to have someone to help you."

After taking Han Zhuo, Zhi couldn't understand why Benefit didn't ask Liu Yu for help.

"The last time an army of [-] Yellow Turbans invaded Zhuo County, I sent someone to ask Liu Yu for help, but his reinforcements arrived three days later. What does this mean?"

Others are unreliable, so Xiao Yi is too lazy to ask these people for help.

At the beginning, there were only 250 people, and they were not afraid of the [-] Yellow Turbans.

Now that there are more than [-] people, what is there to be afraid of! In his opinion, these... Yellow Turbans are just here to give him experience.

Chapter [-]

After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Lu Zhi was silent.

He came out of the court and knew that there were not many officials who truly served the country and the people.

Even if there are such people, they will have their own little abacus in their hearts.

Now that the world is in chaos, the binding force of the imperial court has been reduced to a minimum.

In order to pacify the judgment, the emperor asked local officials to recruit troops to suppress the rebels.

This has also directly led to the rise of many careerists, and the situation of the division of the heroes has already taken shape.

"How's the situation, where is the Yellow Turban thief?"

Xiao Yi asked the scouts beside him.

"Back to the lord, after the Yellow Turban thieves entered Zhuo County, they suddenly slowed down their marching speed, and their intentions are unclear."

"Reduced march speed"

Xiao Yi and others were puzzled.

It stands to reason that they sent [-] troops to kill them, shouldn't they be in a hurry?

Deliberately slowing down the march will not only reduce one's own morale, but will also give the other party plenty of time to prepare.

All the bigwigs on the city wall were confused by the operations of the Yellow Turbans like a fan.

Xiao Yi's eyes swept across Liu Ji, Xu Shu, Xun You, Lu Zhi and the others, all of them were confused.

At this moment, among the Yellow Turbans' ranks, the Central Army is sitting.

Zhang Bao was also confused: how did the marching speed slow down! "What's the matter, why did the team slow down?"

He drank and asked around:

Left and right: hurriedly went to the front to investigate, and after a while, returned with shock.

"Doctor, if you go to the front and take a look, you will understand."

At the uprising, Zhang Jiao called himself a great teacher, while Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang both called themselves great doctors.

That's what his relatives call him.

"Oh"

Zhang Bao was puzzled, knowing that the guards would not deceive him, so he took a few generals and walked towards the front of the team.

Because their team is too large, they are in the middle army at the moment.

In fact, he is still in the territory of Liao County, and has not entered the territory of Zhuo County.

However, as he continued to go deep into Zhuo County, Zhang Bao and the generals around him all stayed.

Under the fields, there are green grains everywhere, and on the hills, there are fruit tree seedlings that they are familiar with.

Pieces into pieces, apparently planted by someone.

"Doctor, this..."

The generals under Zhang Bao did not respond for a while.

They are all farmers, and they have cultivated the land all their lives, but they have never seen such good crops growing! "I am afraid that there will be a lot of harvests in this acre of land."

"What is that? It can transport water from low places to high places and dig so many canals here. The planning is very reasonable. No wonder it can produce such excellent crops! This county magistrate is really unusual."

"What's in the land over there?"

After a while, they were again attracted by the tall, one-man plant on the hillside.

Obviously, this kind of crop that appears in pieces must be artificially planted, but the Yellow Turbans, who were farmers, did not know this crop.

"Zhou Cang, go take a look, order your generals, and then say, "Remember not to destroy these...... crops!"

For farmers, destroying crops is a sin.

Moreover, the crops here are growing so well, just like the works of art of farmers, it is even more reluctant to destroy them.

They know very well how fortunate it is to grow food.

Therefore, these... traitors who kill and set fire without blinking their eyes have never destroyed the crops in the fields.

"Subordinates know."

Zhou Cang walked to the field, and soon found the budding fruit on the stem.

He broke one off and returned to Zhang Bao.

"Look, doctor, what kind of crop is this?"

The great doctor is the disciple of the immortal, and he has a lot of knowledge. What they don't know, the great doctor must know.

However, Zhang Bao was also a little dumbfounded when he saw what looked like an elongated water drop.

Haven't seen it.

"Open it and see if this thing is edible."

Zhang Bao peeled off the outer skin layer by layer, and after a while, a stick covered with small white particles appeared in front of them.

The small white granules are very tender, and they are broken when gently squeezed, and a fragrant juice flows out.

Zhou Cang took two of them and tasted them, "Well, there is sweetness in the astringency, and if it matures, it will definitely be sweet and glutinous.

It's edible, for sure!"

"My God!"

"If you can eat such a big piece, how much food can you harvest... ah!"

"And these... The rice fields are growing so well, one mu of land can definitely produce three or four, stone grains!"

The reason why the Yellow Turbans stopped was because they were attracted by the crops in front of them.

They are reluctant to destroy these...... crops.

Therefore, when walking, I deliberately avoid them and cannot bear to trample on them.

"Great doctor, the soldiers all have concerns, and morale is relatively low at the moment, why don't we retreat first."

Zhou Cang glanced at it and saw that everyone was attracted by the crops, one by one could not wait to rush into the fields to work, and had absolutely no desire to fight.

As a general, Zhou Cang knew that this battle would definitely be impossible.

"Well, let's leave Zhuo County first, and settle down in Liao County.

Zhou Cang, take a few people to ask what kind of grain is grown in this field."

Zhang Bao waved his hand and led everyone to retreat to Liao Liao County.

Zhou Cang, disguised as a farmer, returned to Zhuo County.

On the city wall, a scout suddenly came to report that the Yellow Turbans had withdrawn, making everyone a little confused.

"withdrawn"

"What do you mean, are they just... come and visit"

Xiao Yi looked at the group of generals and think tanks around him, but no one could answer.

"Where did they stop, did they see anything, tell me what you saw."

Liu Ji asked the scout.

Although the scout is far away, his eyesight is very good, and he can see around it.
