Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 29 - In Groups

Although the imperial court advised farming and mulberry classes and prohibited population movement, so that a person who wanted to leave his hometown for fifty miles had to ask the government to issue a document. But now that the army is in chaos, the people are eager to hide in the city and not come out. Therefore, the road is becoming more and more There were few pedestrians, and the smoke and dust filled the air. Occasionally, a few teams of hungry yellow scarf thieves passed by.

At this time, several figures appeared on the road. They were dozens of villagers, some old and some young, their faces covered with dust, and they did not know how many miles they had traveled to get here. They are afraid of yellow turban thieves, so they seldom move during the day, and they walk on the road in groups until near evening. However, due to the burden of the elderly and children, they can only walk twenty or thirty miles a day.

Are you going to Licheng territory soon?

It should be here. There are very few yellow turban thieves on this road. You can see the yellow turban thieves of the team in other counties and counties at every turn.

It seems that the news that Dangli City defeated the yellow turban bandits should be true. God, this time there is salvation.

Several young and strong men looked excited, and the old men and children behind them were also happy. Although the few old men were getting old and their legs were inconvenient, they still persisted with crutches.

After walking for a while, the outline of the unimposing city appeared in front of the group of people. Licheng was indeed different from other cities, with three gates open. You must know that the yellow scarves are rampant in eight states, and even in Qingzhou. The gates of the city are closed tightly all day long, for fear that a few fish will slip through the net, and it is unique to open the gates like Licheng.

But it was getting late, and the soldiers by the city gate were about to pull up the hanging rope. Seeing this, dozens of villagers hurried over, shouting as they walked, Don't close the city gate, we will all enter the city.

It happened that Xu Zang patrolled to the top of the city, and when he saw this group of people, he asked loudly: This is Xu Zang, the governor of Licheng, why did you come here?

Because of his meritorious service in combat, Xu Zang followed Liu Ye in the charge, so he had already been promoted to be a chief. He was now wearing leather armor, with an iron sword hanging from his waist, and he looked proud.

The old man at the head came forward tremblingly: This general, the little old man and his party are from Qingqiuli, Yangqiu County. I heard that General Liu Ye defeated the Yellow Turban Bandits, protected the environment and the people, and guarded a piece of paradise in Qingzhou. , came here to seek asylum, General Wanwang took him in.

Although this old man is old but not well-informed, seeing Xu Zangxiang as a small leader in the Han army, he even called him a general. In fact, there is no one in Licheng who can be called a general. There is a saying that three Stinky General, top Zhuge Liang, General Pi is the lowest general position.

Xu Zang was secretly happy, but he still said seriously: Old man, are you all from the village? Don't get mixed up with the Yellow Turban Bandit. A few days ago, because of the internal response of the Yellow Turban Bandit, County Honorable Song died.

The old man hurriedly shook his head: What are you talking about, General? The young man is a son of a good family, how can there be a thief, if anyone is found out who dares to collude with the Yellow Turban bandits, the young man is willing to guarantee it with his head.

Xu Zang nodded slightly, and looked at the darkened sky: That's it, wait and come into the city, the rebels killed many residents in the city a few days ago, but now there are many vacant houses. Arrange for you to live in.

The group of people were naturally grateful, and they lived in Licheng with great gratitude. As Liu Ye's reputation gradually spread, many people came to Licheng and witnessed with their own eyes that there were no thieves making trouble in the territory. Immediately calling for friends, all the panic-stricken ordinary people gathered towards Licheng County with their families.

Although many people don't want to leave their homes, but now is the troubled times, and the most important thing is to save their lives. Therefore, residents from other cities gathered here, and within a few days, the number of residents in Licheng reached 30,000, and there were not a few of them young and strong, which made Liu Ye feel a little relieved.

In particular, Pang Hun reorganized the defeated army and picked up the momentum to attack other cities in Jinan. Many county magistrates saw thousands of yellow scarf thieves dare not resist. The people in the city are unprotected and cannot escape bad luck. They are either killed or kidnapped into the bandits of the Yellow Turbans.

The county magistrate who resolutely resisted was not without it. The magistrate of Yangqiu who refused Liu Ye's request for help was a good official who was loyal to his duty. The county was also destroyed, and the Yellow Turban thieves swarmed in.

All the counties in Jinan were full of wars, but only in Licheng, not to mention the attack by bandits, not even the shadow of the Yellow Turban bandits, it was a pure land. As a result, countless people gathered towards Licheng, ranging from a few hundred to as many as a thousand, swarming towards Licheng with great momentum.

Pang Hun was really scared by Liu Ye at this moment. The victory in attacking other counties did not give him the confidence to fight Liu Ye, so he was ordered not to enter Licheng territory.

However, crowds of people are like fat sheep. Many yellow turban thieves under Pang Hun's command have formed small teams to cull the common people. Although the common people are numerous and powerful, they are unarmed, and the yellow turban thieves have long been used to fighting. As a result, many people's corpses were scattered all over the field.

After Liu Ye got the information, he was furious, and ordered the more than 300 cavalry under his command to be divided into six teams to patrol the territory every day, and if he saw a yellow scarf thief, he would strangle him immediately without saying a word.

More than 300 riders followed Liu Ye and even dared to run amok in a large formation of tens of thousands of people. Dealing with these small groups of Yellow Turbans was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables. The people who gathered in Licheng were grateful and grateful to this Liu Yuqing, who kept one side safe, loved her in her heart.

More than fifty riders galloped past, kicking up a cloud of dust on the ground. Many people's mounts were hung with dead heads that had just been cut off, dripping blood all the way. Although they had experienced a bloody battle, they all had high fighting spirit.

See? Those are the elite soldiers under General Liu Xiao.

What a group of heroes, not to mention the Jinan country, I am afraid that Qingzhou will not be able to find a second Li city.

Hey, even the city of Linzi, where the government is located, is besieged by bandits. Mr. Gong is trapped in the city and can't move. The world of Han is really in chaos.

A group of villagers who came to invest in Licheng couldn't help expressing emotion when they saw more than fifty horses galloping past. Then they cheered up and continued to walk towards Licheng, which had already been outlined.

But in Licheng, Liu Ye couldn't take it easy. During the civil strife that broke out in the city that day, the county magistrate Song He and the pawns were all killed, so he could only use his own brain.
