Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 66

"Who knocked on the door!" Huang Jin on the city looked at the torches downstairs and shouted.

"I'm waiting for the cavalry of Qu Shuai's headquarters. The battle in Youzhou is raging. Qu Shuai ordered me to come back to rescue the soldiers and open the city gate quickly!"

"Wait, wait for me to report to the commander!" the city man said.

After a while, Qiu Kang came to the top of the wall and looked down. Unfortunately, the night was hazy and he couldn't see the situation clearly. Only near the torch, he could see that the person was wearing a linen shirt and a yellow scarf, and there seemed to be blood on his body, as if he had just experienced General warfare.

"What do you mean by saying that the war is intense?" Qiu Kang shouted.

"The Youzhou frontier army is brave and good at fighting, and our troops suffered heavy losses. Commander Qu ordered me to wait for the slightly injured to come back for help. Please send troops to support!"

Qiu Kang looked down and still had some doubts. How could Qu Shuai have encountered such a big battle just a day after he dispatched troops, and why did he need support when he sent an army of [-]?

"Who is the vanguard Qu Shuai sent?" Qiu Kang thought of an idea and asked tentatively.

There was a sudden silence downstairs, and Qiu Kang became alert for a while.

"Deng Mao!" Another voice said.

Qiu Kang heaved a sigh of relief, he was right, it should not be a fake, his doubts dissipated, and he immediately ordered: "Open the city gate, let them enter the city to heal their wounds, give me an overnight notice, gather tomorrow morning, and support Qu Shuai!"

The city gate opened slowly, and more than a hundred people entered in a file.

After entering the city, Zhao Yun and Liu Qing exchanged glances: "My lord, do you want to do it?"

Liu Qing shook his head and led the people away from the vicinity of the city gate.

According to the original plan, as soon as the city gate was opened, the two of them would split up and attack the city gate and the city wall. At the same time, hundreds of hidden cavalry rushed in directly to capture Yi County. new plan.

It's better to use the plan, after all, how many yellow scarves there are in the city is unknown.

"Master, how do you know that Cheng Yuanzhi's striker belongs to Deng Mao?" Zhao Yun asked in a low voice. He and Liu Qing had been staying together, and he didn't send a sentry across the river to spy on information, so he couldn't help being curious.

When asked on the city wall who was the vanguard, Zhao Yun thought that this was a bad situation, and he couldn't get away with it.

In the end, Liu Qing said a name unhurriedly, and then——

The city is open!
"Actually, I guessed it." Liu Qing laughed.

Zhao Yun was stunned, how could he guess such a thing?Does the lord still have the ability to pinch and count?
"Zilong, send people to watch the gate of the city. Tomorrow they will come out of the city to support us. We will seize the gate of the city and control Yi County, and we will lose our fight. Kuaiqi returned to Guangping last night to report the letter. It will be eight or nine days later, during this period, we must not only defend Yi County, but also clear the surrounding Yellow Turbans to ensure that the food and grass can be transported back to Guangping."

"My lord, did you know that there was food here from the very beginning? Otherwise, why did you go straight to Yi County?" Zhao Yun seemed to have not answered his confusion the day before yesterday, and he always felt that it was strange for the lord to go north in a hurry.

Liu Qing kept silent, Cheng Yuanzhi had already killed Zhuojun, many deeds showed that he was already late, since he was late, there was no need to force him, but he ran away this time, why don't he bring some oil and water back? I'm sorry for my commercial nature.

So Liu Qing admitted seriously: "That's right, Cheng Yuanzhi stationed troops in Yi County, eyeing Zhuo County covetously, and naturally made sufficient preparations. He swept through several counties in northern Hebei, and he must have looted and hoarded a lot of food and grass. If you don’t take it, should you wait for someone else to take it?”

"My lord is wise! I just came back to Guangping for a day, and there was such a plan. My lord once said that the plan to deal with Peng Tuo was to use the oriole's second strategy. I don't know what the plan is for this battle?"

Zhao Yun's eyes flashed the red light of torches, as if seeing wisdom itself, eager to get to the bottom of it, Liu Qing couldn't bear to tell him, and secondly, it was just a temporary retreat.

Zilong, I'm afraid you will be sad if I say it, if Guan Zhang can get one of them, we won't change it for a hundred thousand stones!
Of course, if you change it, you won't change it!
Looking at Zhao Yun's seeking knowledge, Liu Qing felt that he would become a brave and resourceful general in the future, so he said nonsense: "Zilong, this is a plan to fight rabbits with grass!"

"What do you mean by hugging grass and beating rabbits?" Zhao Yun was still puzzled.

"Go, talk as you go." Liu Qing pulled Zhao Yun and said as he walked: "Once upon a time, a farmer went to mow the grass, but he swung his knife and killed the rabbit hiding in the grass. We also beat the rabbits, just like we defeated the Yellow Turbans, and we were able to occupy the city and seize food, isn’t it a clever plan?”

Zhao Yun was confused when he heard that, "But my lord, how do you know there are rabbits in the grass?"

uh...is this-

"Zilong, I remembered something. When I retreated from Changshan's business, I was hijacked by a group of bandits. The leader was Zhending Chuyan, who is from your hometown. Do you know this person?"

"Chu Yan is really a well-known hero, why did he vote for the yellow scarf?" Zhao Yun replied, "I have met him on several occasions. People can outdo each other.”

"Is it so powerful? How does Zilong compare with it?"

"At that time, Yun Nian was still young, so he was not qualified to compete with him, but today, Yun is confident that he can beat him!"

That's terrible, Liu Qing said with a smile: "Today I'm really sure to be the first brother, it must be Zilong!"

"My lord, what is meant by 'first brother'?"

"It means No.1."

"Yun reads very little, thank you, Lord, for teaching me!"

Liu Qing successfully changed the subject.

In the early morning of the next day, the early spring morning was still chilly. Liu Bei was used to waking up at this moment every day. Even though his genius was dimly lit, his skillful shoe-weaving skills still allowed him to work in the weak light.

Now that he has joined the army, his biological clock has not changed. He still wakes up at this time and does not do manual work, but he is not used to it.

Liu Bei caressed the hilt of his sword, the dream of youth, now finally embarked on the journey.

"Brother, why did you wake up so early?" Guan Yu asked Liu Bei when he saw that Liu Bei had sat up straight.

"Yun Chang, Lieutenant Zou has returned to Zhuo County, and the remaining [-] soldiers are for us. I am thinking whether to continue chasing the Yellow Turban or go back." Liu Bei said, speaking of going back, his voice was very soft.

Going back means returning the soldiers and horses, and if there is no Yellow Turban to re-offend, it means that there is no chance to eliminate thieves and make meritorious deeds.

"Brother, after this night, the remnant soldiers may have disappeared long ago, but I heard that the battle in Jizhou is in full swing, why don't we lead the army forward, and we will be able to show our ambitions!"

"What Yun Chang said is exactly what I want!" After finishing speaking, he patted Zhang Fei who was still sleeping beside him, "Yide, Yide!"

"Who is making noise!" Zhang Fei sat up abruptly, and when he saw it was Liu Bei, he immediately grinned, "Brother, why are you calling me?"

"It's time to go, let's go to Jizhou!"

"Jizhou? Don't you want to go back to Zhuo County?"

"Third brother, the yellow scarves in Jizhou are rampant, confronting the imperial court, this is the place where we can use our force. The elder brother is a clan member of the Han family, how can we stand by and watch!"

"Second brother is right, let's go!" Zhang Fei immediately got up and began to straighten his armor.

……

In Yi County, it was already dawn, Qiu Kang assembled seven thousand soldiers and three hundred horses, assembled outside Yi County, and left temporarily. He repeatedly explained to the defenders, "I will give you three thousand soldiers and horses, and you must guard them well. Yi County, no matter who comes, you are not allowed to open the door!"

"Commander, what if you come back?"

Qiu Kang stared at him intently, as if looking at a mentally handicapped person.

　Thanks to Comrade Kanshuren and Kanwen Xiaoxuan for their rewards, thank you for your votes!
