Take a train to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 76 The Voice of the Common People

On the city wall, the person standing was Yuan Xi, looking sullenly at the crowd of people gathered below the city.

Since the scandal between him and his sister-in-law got out, everyone looked at him and made him feel burning pain. Even the elders in the family have begun to oppose his family status, and a letter from his family has been passed on to The Yuan family in Luoyang.

The Yuan family in Luoyang, that is the highest authority and most powerful place in the entire Yuan family!It was because of his father, Yuan Shao, the current head of the Yuan family in Luoyang, that Yuan Xizheng took the seat of Youzhou governor. If he was dissatisfied, there would be no good results.

When he learned that the culprits who killed him were Lin Xun and the people who wanted to buy his tickets, Yuan Xi was furious and thought about a plan in his mind, and then the city gate was closed and the people were not allowed to go out.

The most important thing is that the reason for closing the city gates in the name of the Yellow Turban rebels is absolutely justified and perfect, and there is absolutely no trace of flaws. Even Lin Xun and the other eight people couldn't think of a way out for a while. .

It can deflate Lin Xun and definitely make Yuan Xi feel better.Seeing the crowds of people around the city blocked by their heads and unable to advance or retreat, Yuan Xi leaned against the rock on the city wall and laughed out loud.

The scene was anxious and in a dilemma, but there was a sudden commotion among the people. A road separated from the crowd, and a man in military uniform walked out from the middle of the road, followed by a group of guards with swords, and walked towards Among the guards at the city gate.

The leader of the general was Cao Cao. He walked up to the guards and said solemnly, "Who is the person in charge here?"

"It's me, it's me. General Cao, why are you here?" The person who was shouting loudly greeted him immediately and cupped his hands.

Although Cao Cao has only been here for more than a month, his reputation has already spread.On the seventh day, I will command [-] troops and run for three days to take the initiative to attack the Yellow Turban rebels, intercept the Yellow Turban food and grass troops, and come with a good harvest.It was the Yellow Turban Army who attacked Fan Yang's army again. After resisting the enemy for three days, his whole body was stained with blood, and he returned as if he had killed a god. It is said that he directly wiped out the main force of Youzhou Qu Shuai Cheng Zhi, so the Yellow Turban rebels did not come back for a long time. Attack Ji County.

This time, it was Cao Cao who came in person, so the city guard naturally had to treat him with respect.

Cao Cao glanced at the people behind him and asked, "Why don't you let them leave the city?"

The official who received the city replied: "It was the order of the superiors. Because there are Yellow Turban spies in the Fangcheng, the gates of the city were closed to directly block the news."

"Of course it's okay to prevent news from leaking, but it's blocking such a large number of people. Isn't that a bit excessive?"

The city guard hurriedly responded: "Not too much, not too much, defending Ji County can save their own lives, and the superiors also made a decision after careful consideration."

But he was thinking in his heart: that, for the common people?It's all about the age, this General Cao is really a reckless man who only knows how to fight!
Cao Cao snorted coldly and asked, "Which master is this order? I'm going to talk to him personally."

The city guard pointed to the city wall and replied truthfully: "This is the order of the governor."

The city guard was also secretly happy that he was finally able to move the killing god away. Standing in front of Cao Cao, he was really stressed, recalling how he came back covered in blood, his feet couldn't help shaking.

Cao Cao ignored him, and went straight to a road made by the city defenders, and climbed up the city wall.

On the city wall, Yuan Xi, who discovered Cao Cao's coming, left quickly.

"Master Yuan, please stop!"

Yuan Xi wanted to leave, but Cao Cao's speed was not slow, so he stopped him immediately.

Yuan Xi's body froze, he turned around and walked away, he said with a smile: "Isn't this Mr. Cao? Why are you so excited to come to the city wall to see the scenery today?"

"I'm a reckless man who doesn't have such leisure and elegance. I just came here to ask Mr. Yuan why he wanted to block the livelihood of the people of Ji County?" Cao Cao waved his hand, then walked towards Yuan Xi and said.

"Hehe, Mr. Cao, you are too serious. I closed the city gate to prevent the Yellow Turban rebels. Why did I stop the people's way of life?" Yuan Xi said with a smile on his face.

"Master Yuan, I think you also know that the Yellow Turban Army may attack Ji County at any time, and whether it can hold the city is still a very important issue, and this treasure of Qingxun Company can carry hundreds of people and travel thousands of miles a day , won’t the people he sent to Luoyang be able to save their lives?”

"Your Majesty Cao was just joking, with a brave general like you around, how could he not be able to defend the yellow turban against the bandits?" Yuan Xi said in a staccato tone.

"Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. If the city is really destroyed, wouldn't Mr. Yuan become a sinner?" Cao Cao said in a slightly cold tone.

"Wouldn't I be a bigger sinner if the Yellow Turban spies were sent out of the city and the news inside Ji County was known by the rebels and the city was broken?"

Yuan Xi spread his hands, and his tone instantly became serious.

The two sides are facing each other tit for tat, and neither will give way to the other.

And when the two of them were talking to each other, the people in the city began to get restless.

Although a city gate blocked the people who wanted to leave the city, the soldiers guarding the city were from the people.

"Nizi, Nizi, you actually stopped your father. If I knew it, I would have shot you against the wall."

"Ha, Zhao Yuantong, if you dare to block my way today, don't even think about marrying my sister!"

"Hey, Li Guotong, are you the one calling? Why don't you let the elder brother get out of the way?"

"Hey, Chen Zhongtong, if you don't give way, I'll tell the neighbors and folks about you peeking at the widow next door taking a shower!"

Then Chen Zhongtong's face darkened in an instant, didn't you just say it all!
"Hey, isn't this Qian Shentong? Why are you still here? Your house was blown up! Why don't you go to fight the fire?"

"Ah, isn't this Brother Shunfeng? The gambling ticket we bought yesterday won the prize, and it's 100 taels of gold! Why are you still doing this bad job! Come on, let's go live happily together!"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I also have something to say, um, Zhou Yunda, your wife is having a difficult delivery, go and have a look!"

"."

All of a sudden, all the people spoke out one after another, exerting pressure on the soldiers defending the city.

All the soldiers lowered their swords, not even daring to raise their heads.

This kind of plot development was beyond Lin Xun's expectation.

"Boss, if this continues, it is very likely that you can leave the city!"

Lin Xun said with a smile: "No, it's not enough!"

"We need another fire!"
