Chapter 80 Entering the county town
The sun rose again. On the walls of the county city, Sima and other officers of the county soldiers looked in front of them speechlessly. Several figures standing beside the county magistrate performed, with their eyes full of contempt and irony.
Now standing on the county city, there is no longer the critical danger that was the same as the previous two days. Even the young and strong men organized together began to clean up the thousands of corpses under the county city walls outside along the quietly opened city gate to prevent any possible plagues and other things!
As for the Yellow Turban Army that besieged the city?
Well, the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army, which served as the main force and the supervisory team, had long been taken away by Bian Xi, and even most of the food, animals and other things in the camp were taken away directly. The remaining old and weak and the Yellow Turban thieves who were brought in, immediately seemed chaotic without any suppression and command from above. Some Yellow Turban thieves led their team to leave without hesitation, while some Yellow Turban thieves also robbed the camp with a little remaining supplies, and even had the spirit to fight with women for their wealth. Other people who were brought in flee directly.
Now, looking at the city walls of the county city, the Yellow Turban headquarters camp outside is already in a desperate situation. The few thousand people who are barely remaining are wounded or unable to escape. Even yesterday afternoon and evening, someone had already plucked up the courage to surrender to the county city. Now, as long as an army attacks, they will definitely win a complete victory...
"Sir, the bandit army is now in a defeat!"
"That's right! Most of the thief army has collapsed. Now is a great time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it!"
"Please fight..."
Next to the county magistrate, several county officials wearing official robes spoke one after another, and a man wearing armor seemed to be dressed in military generals immediately followed and took the initiative to ask for battle at the county magistrate.
Judging from his appearance, the general was quite a burly and powerful man, nearly 1.8 meters tall and his pretty appearance seemed to give people a pretty good first impression, and his dressing was also in line with the identity of a "military general". However, including the county magistrate, the officials and others who spoke, all knew that this person was purely a golden and jade-like figure, and was absolutely a fool.
That's right, this strong man dressed in a military general is the Qin Duwei who claims to be a "famous general" in the county town and then takes the county soldiers to fight the Yellow Turban Army casually. In the end, he almost gave all the county soldiers to the Yellow Turban Army as a military record!
"Qin Duwei, are you planning to fight the commander army?"
Listening to the officials in the county and the Qin Duwei actively asked for war, the county magistrate asked slowly.
"That's right! Sir, most of the enemy troops are already scattered, and my general's army may be able to win a complete victory when attacking!"
Facing the inquiry from the county magistrate, as well as the obscure gazes of most of the surrounding officials and the generals of the county soldiers, Qin Duwei knew that he suddenly jumped out and asked to lead the army again, but he said without hesitation.
There was no way, after leading the county soldiers back and returning from a defeat, Qin Duwei, who had no skin on his body, directly claimed to be "severely injured" and was in a shameless manner at home, and he pushed the heavy losses of the county soldiers and city responsibilities to others. He hugged the singer and had fun in the mansion. He watched other Sima and other county soldiers fight against the Yellow Turban Army on the city walls, and was very self-aware that he would not lead the troops to avenge his shame. Without mentioning whether he had the spirit, neither the county magistrate nor the county soldiers who had been cheated by him would dare to put their hopes on him, the "famous general" who showed his background!
But who expected that the Yellow Turban Army camp that besieged the county town suddenly rescued the siege. When it was confirmed last night that the situation was wrong, the Qin Duwei, who was reminded by the guest secretary, discussed with the close county officials for one night before he took the initiative to propose another command of the army!
Among the county soldiers, the Qin Duwei's reputation is already inauspicious. Even if he doesn't care much about the opinions of the lower class, the dereliction of duty of many county soldiers is inevitable. As soon as the guest of Qin Duwei and his elders discussed, he urged Qin Duwei to lead the army immediately to fight, defeat the Yellow Turban camp outside, and increase his military merits by the way. Now, if Qin Duwei does not make any military merits to make up for his merits, and can explain it to the county and prefectures, Qin Duwei may not be able to sit still!
The others were not fools. The performance of Qin Duwei and several other familiar officials, as well as his attitude of taking the initiative to ask the general army to fight, made people understand what the guy was fighting with the wishful thinking.
Isn’t it just that the situation in the Yellow Turban camp outside is now in a turbulent manner and plans to take the opportunity to make military achievements?
You should know that when the Yellow Turban camp outside was in a wrong state, I finally caught the survivor yesterday afternoon and confirmed that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army outside had disappeared. Someone had already suggested that the commander soldiers directly defeat the Yellow Turban Army. Unfortunately, before they could come out, Qin Duwei took the initiative to express his shamelessness: He had just recovered from his injuries, and now he would lead his troops to seek revenge on the Yellow Turban Army.
It is hard to say about Sima and others from other county soldiers. Although the other county officials were also sarcastic and disdainful, no one took the initiative to destroy their good deeds when he looked at Qin Duwei and several county officials!
[Hey! Those who are all living with wine bags rely on the care of their ancestors...]
Looking at Qin Duwei's performance and the reactions of the people around him, the county magistrate couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
As the Qin family, who once had the Qingzhou Governor's Office and many officials in the Donglai County Governor's Office, is also a small family in the Donglai County Governor's County. Although its power and potential strength cannot be compared with those families that have been hundreds of years or even thousands of years, not everyone can ignore their influence.
Even though the Qin Duwei now clearly intends to make some military achievements, the county magistrate himself is really not good to refuse. At least the Qin family knows the fault and gives strong support when defending the city. The supporting property and food belong to the first of many big households in the city!
However, before the county magistrate thought about what price to pay for the Qin Duwei and the Qin family behind him to satisfy others, the person on the city gate who was paying attention to the situation outside suddenly became a little sensual, and even an officer hurried to Sima of another department and whispered to report what happened outside.
Originally, I had worked hard to defend the city these days, looking at the other Sima, who was sulking with the scramble and fighting for merit, when he heard the news from his confidant, his expression suddenly changed. After looking up at the situation of the Yellow Turban Camp outside the city gate tower, he hurried to the county magistrate, Qin Duwei and others, and shouted loudly: "Sir! The situation is not right! There was suddenly some movement in the thief camp outside. Maybe the thief army has any tricks!!!"
"What?!!"
The county magistrate frowned in displeasure. He was shocked when he heard Sima of other departments and looked directly outside.
"That……"
"There is really a movement in the thief camp?!"
Not only the county magistrates, but other county officials changed their faces and looked at the Yellow Turban Camp opposite.
I saw that the Yellow Turban Camp, which was said to be not many, was obviously noisy and noise at this time. The young and strong men who were packing up the corpses under the county town were even more nervous. Someone had already thrown down the things in his hands and turned around and ran away. He had no idea of staying below to watch the fun!
"Oh! Sir, I suddenly feel uncomfortable. Now I beg you to ask the doctor in the clinic to help..."
Before the county magistrate and other officials speculated that Qin Duwei, who had been psychologically shattered by the Yellow Turban Army, whispered to the county magistrate without hesitation, and made the excuse to make the others speechless.
At this time, the county magistrate did not have the idea of causing trouble to the Qin Duwei. He even waved his hand and asked the "famous generals" who were commanding him to go back quickly so as not to cause trouble to the people who were actually commanding the city. Then the county magistrate quickly asked other Sima to summon the defenders to guard the guards, while collecting all the young and strong people who had just been released, and even preparing to be surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army again...
...
More than an hour later, Wang Chen and his group, who had just been repairing for a day, saw the tension above the county town.
The swords and guns were all set out and various city defense fortifications were prepared, and the defenders were all cautious in their faces. Wang Chen, who had just integrated the broken Yellow Turban camp and left most of the sterns to maintain order, was a little confused. Looking at the formation of more than 20 cavalrymen, he couldn't help but look at the county city's behavior as if it was facing a great enemy.
By the way, isn’t this kind of vigilance a bit too exaggerated?
Wang Chen and others arrived at the county town with only more than twenty cavalrymen. Most of the cavalry and infantry behind them were still in the camp occupied. And this was not a high-level world. Are you still worried that more than twenty people would seize the county town?
It was obvious that the people on the county city walls also saw the situation of Wang Chen and his group. There was obviously a low-level officer turning his head to report to the top. Then, before Wang Chen was about to let Taishi Ci speak, an officer who should be the leader poked his head out of the battlement and shouted loudly: "Who are you???"
"I am on the order of the county magistrate to inform all counties to beware of the messenger of the Yellow Turban Army, Taishi Ziyi! This is my waist card and trustworthy!"
At this time, Taishici also rode his horse out and stood under the city wall with another surviving guard, holding up the sign and letter that proved his identity in his hand, and then introduced the identities of Wang Chen and others: "What I came with was Wang County Magistrate Wang who defeated the Yellow Turbans and recovered the county town, and the righteous soldiers he organized!!!"
Of course, with Taishici's words, it was impossible for the county city to open the door immediately. The defenders of the city first put down a small basket with a rope, then pulled Taishici's waist card and identity certificate to confirm. Then they pulled Taishici up to the city wall and confirmed it when they met the person he knew, then they carefully opened the city gate and released Wang Chen and his group of more than 20 cavalrymen in.
The only thing that was quite kind was that the county town asked Taishi Ci to serve as a guide for Wang Chen and his party, and even stated that he could rest in the military camp in the county first - Wang Chen politely refused this!
"Sir, the county magistrate invites you to participate in the banquet held by the county magistrate's office in the evening..."
When Taishici led the way again, led Wang Chen and his cavalry to stay at the best inn in the county town, Taishici still looked respectful and said to Wang Chen in a low voice.
"Banquet? I understand..."
Seeing Taishici's respectful performance, Wang Chen was also a little happy. By the way, he looked at the inn that had nothing to do with his understanding of the word "luxury". Wang Chen and Saeko Mushima nodded and said, "In the evening, I will take people to the county magistrate's house to attend the banquet!"
"Here!"
Taishici whispered, then watched Wang Chen and his group place their place in the inn before leaving to inform the county magistrate's office.
Chapter completed!
