Chapter 187: Recover Xu Sheng
When Xu He heard that he was not only immortal, but also followed him, he was overjoyed and was about to agree, but suddenly he heard Xu Sheng on the side get up and said in a stern voice: "Why follow you and what do you do with you?"
Feng Sha looked at him and said calmly: "You can have enough food to follow me, and you can also help me manage the people of Qingzhou and Taishan County, so that they can have enough food to eat too."
Xu Hecai didn't care whether others could eat enough or not, but just thought to himself: "Isn't it just for me to manage the people of Qingzhou? Isn't it just for me to be an official? If you don't agree to such a good thing, you are a fool!"
He was happy and kowtowed quickly, "Thank you for your kindness, the villain will be trampled on his heart to repay the king's kindness!"
Xu Sheng's face was covered in dust and blood. He looked at Feng Sha in a wooden manner and murmured: "What kind of magic are you using at the city gate? Why did the city gate break suddenly? Have you also read "The Art of Taiping"?"
Feng Sha shook his head and said, "That's not a magic trick. If you are willing to submit to me, I can let you learn this kind of skills."
Xu Sheng was excited when he heard this, thinking that if he could learn the magic of immortality, this was his dream. For this, he could do anything. He immediately knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and shouted: "King, as long as you are really good to the people as you said just now, let the people of Qingzhou have a full meal. I, Xu Sheng, would like to follow you and never betray you!"
Xu He also kowtowed with his personal soldiers: "The king treats us so well, we will be loyal to the king and will never change!"
When the Yellow Turban Army in the distance saw their appearance, they were both envious and jealous. They knelt down and kowtowed to Fengsha, asking the king to accept them as their entourage, so that they would be delicious and delicious in the future.
Feng Sha nodded and said, "Very good. Xu Sheng, go and summon the guards in the city and let them go to the rear to rest. And wait until they are all trained before going to the battlefield."
Xu Sheng kowtowed and took Xu He and others with him.
Feng Sha ordered Zhang Liao to clean up the battlefield, take over Laiwu's defense, and quickly build the city wall, and build the broken city gate. It should be arranged as soon as possible to prevent the Taishan Yellow Turbans and Liu Bei from attacking together.
He stood above the city, looking far away at the West, sighing in his heart.
The enemy troops had more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans, all of which were chaotic. There was nothing left. However, the Yanzhou soldiers were brave and good at fighting, and the secret spies had already mentioned it in the secret newspaper. If they had helped the Yellow Turbans, they would have defended the city with tens of thousands of people, and the outcome was still unknown.
Seeing the smoke and dust rising in the east, Feng Sha knew that Jia Xu was coming with another 20,000 people, so he got off the city, rode over to meet Jia Xu.
Jia Xu led 20,000 troops to come. Seeing that Fengsha had already captured Laiwu, he dismounted and bowed to the ground, and said respectfully: "The king has great power and can break through the enemy's strong city in one fell swoop. He is a god!"
Feng Sha shook his head and said, "A small matter is a little, no need to mention it. Do you know that Liu Bei is going to join forces with the Yellow Turbans to attack?"
Jia Xu looked shocked and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Feng Sha took him to a remote place and told him the situation.
Jia Xu frowned and said, "The enemy troops are more than 100,000, but our troops only have 40,000 people. I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with."
Feng Sha pondered and said, "This is nothing, even if it is a stalemate, it can be defeated. I am only worried that Yuan Shao, Jizhou, will attack from the north, cross the Yellow River, attack Le'an, and attack Linzi. For the current plan, only by quickly breaking the enemy's troops can I return to Qingzhou and control the Yuan army in Jizhou."
Seeing him pondering, Jia Xu was anxious. He walked around the ground for a few times, and suddenly remembered someone. His eyes lit up and bowed, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have a plan to teach the Yellow Turbans and Liu Bei, and not keep the armor!"
Feng Sha looked up at him and asked, "Where did Wenhe come from?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "King, have you forgotten that there is still a brave army in the south, waiting for the king's summons?"
Feng Sha looked up at the south and said calmly: "The soldiers from Tao Gongzu could not be transferred for a while. What you said is Zang Ba, the cavalry commander under the Muslim of Xuzhou?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "That's right! Although Zang Ba is a subordinate of Tao Xuzhou, he formed his own army and stationed his troops in Kaiyang and Linyi. He was reluctant to listen to Tao Xuzhou's dispatch. All the brave men from far and near went to join him, and they already had an army of 20,000 to 30,000 troops, and should not be underestimated. Besides, he has always been brave in fighting against the Yellow Turbans. The troops that have been fighting for many years are not comparable to those of the Yellow Turbans? If he comes to help, it will be easy to respond to our 40,000 troops and fight against the enemy, and it will be easy!"
Feng Sha shook his head and said, "I wrote to him to help him, but he never responded. This matter may not be possible."
Jia Xu advised: "King, this man is arrogant and admires someone with outstanding martial arts. Only those who can make him obey are the real strong people. He has never seen the king, so how can he know the king's skills? At this time, the situation is urgent. The king can go to see him in person. When he sees the king come to ask for it in person, he will definitely be moved. The king will show his skills to see him again. He will be convinced and surrender to the king, and lead his army to attack the Yellow Turbans with Liu Bei."
Feng Sha pondered slightly and said decisively: "You are right. You will first lead the soldiers into Laiwu and work together to guard them. Send another person to gather 20,000 Yellow Turban prisoners and replace them with the old generals of our army. Tell them that as long as they have made contributions in the battle, they can forgive their sins and become soldiers of our army and enjoy all the benefits of soldiers of our army. We will help them find their relatives so that their family can have a full meal. In order not to let them rebel, you have to live a few more soldiers to persuade them."
Jia Xu bowed and said, "Don't worry, although these Yellow Turbans are not trained enough, and they have to worry about their rebellion, they can still help defend the city and carry land to build the city. Our army currently has 40,000 elite soldiers, 20,000 prisoners can be used as civilians. Then, the strong Yellow Turban soldiers are dispersed and mixed into our army. Others can also cheer. It is very easy to defend the city. Don't worry, the king."
Feng Sha pondered: "If those captured Yellow Turban soldiers really fight, it may not be useful, but if they can defeat the enemy headquarters in one fell swoop, they can also chase the enemy soldiers. As long as they are willing to give them enough rewards to make their family eat and wear warmth, they are willing to do it. I am going to Kaiyang here. If Zang Ba is willing to help us, plus our army's 40,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 new captives and strong men, there will be 80,000 to 90,000 people, which is enough to fight the enemy!"
He raised his head, his eyes shone brightly, and he said decisively: "Wenhe, you should bring 20,000 new soldiers to camp far away and lie in the mountains, so that the enemy will not discover it, so as to be slow. If you see an enemy spy, you will kill his head to avoid secret leakage from our army. When the enemy sees that our army has only 20,000 elite soldiers guarding the city, they will definitely underestimate us. When the decisive battle is time, you will come from afar, and the enemy will be defeated unexpectedly!"
Jia Xu agreed one by one. Fengsha stepped onto the wild star and bowed, "I'll ask Wenhe for this city. Please inform Wenyuan to guard the city closely, and I will bring my army back soon!"
He thought of it and did it. Before he could say goodbye to Zhang Liao and others, he slapped Ma Nanchi and headed straight towards Kaiyang.

Kaiyang belongs to the Langya Kingdom of Xuzhou, which is the area of Linyi, Shandong in later generations.
Zang Ba, the cavalry commander of Xuzhou Mu, sat in the central hall of Kaiyang City, looking at the battle report in his hand, pondering without saying a word.
His subordinates, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and others stood aside, and saw him pondering, and couldn't help asking: "Prince, what do you say in the battle report?"
Zang Ba shook his head and said, "It's strange. Liu Bei, the governor of Yanzhou, who was granted by Liu Xie, actually made friends with the Yellow Turbans and marched east together to fight the Qingzhou army led by King Wuwei of the West."
When Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and others were shocked and angry when they heard this, they shouted: "Liu Bei is so brave. How dare he collude with the Yellow Turbans? The Yellow Turbans in this area were almost killed by us before they fled to Qingzhou and Mount Tai. Why did Liu Bei collude with our enemies instead? Aren't he afraid that everyone in the world will scold him for rebellion?"
Zang Ba sighed, "So it's strange. The leader of the Yellow Turban Thief Zhang Rao actually raised a banner. It is said that the new emperor of Yecheng, Liu Xie, and the Grand Marshal Yuan Shao, whom he had signed, had issued an edict to pardon him and give him official positions. The Yellow Turban Thief changed and became a senior official of the court!"
Sun Guan said angrily: "It's so easy to become a high-ranking official. We fought with the Yellow Turban thieves for so many years, but we never saw the court granting him an official!"
Yin Li frowned and said, "Prince, what should we do?"
Zang Ba stood up, walked a few steps in the hall, and pondered: "The day before yesterday, King Wuwei sent me a letter to meet him, as if it was a sign of a greeting. But I don't know what he was thinking, so it's hard to make a decision."
Wu Dun's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "The King of Wuwei has a very good reputation and is powerful. Why don't the captain vote for him?"
Zang Ba shook his head and said, "There are people who speak in a lot of words. There are those who are benevolent and virtuous, some are those who are cruel, some are loyal and righteous, and some are those who are rebellious. I don't know what this person is. If Maoran helps him, I am afraid that what he meets is unfamiliar, and I will regret it in the future."
Yin Li tentatively said: "After the commander said this, we would sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. Seeing them fighting both sides are hurt, let's clean up the mess?"
Wu Dun opposed: "King Wuwei and Yuan Shao and Liu Bei are now occupying several states and are in great danger. If we do not surrender to one side, they will probably deal with us in the future!"
Sun Guan gritted his teeth and said, "The Yellow Turban thieves killed good people, but they were not good people. How could we join the straits with them? In my opinion, we still marched north to help King Wuwei to pacify the Yellow Turbans and kill Liu Bei. With such great achievements, King Wuwei will definitely be happy and rewarded many times. Are you still afraid that we will not be in the prestige?"
