The World of Yellow Sky

After Tian Zhong boarded the hanging basket, the soldiers of the Han army on the city wall also began to use their strength to slowly pull up the hanging basket.

The hanging basket was close to the city wall, and Tian Zhong grabbed the crenel with both hands and jumped onto the city wall.

Although he is not a soldier, but a talisman in the army, his physical fitness is not much worse than that of the ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers.

Tian Zhong bowed in salute and said, "Tian Zhong, head of Taiping Dao, has met County Magistrate Chen."

Chen Shen's expression was gloomy, without words, he just looked straight at Tian Zhong, his eyes were full of anger.

Tian Zhongyan said: "The youngest son of County Magistrate Chen is safe in our Yellow Turban Army now, he is taken care of by someone, so the county magistrate doesn't have to worry about it."

Hearing Tian Zhongyan's words, Chen Shen knew that his son's life was not in danger, so his face softened a little.

He had a son when he was old, and there was only one heir under his knees. If the youngest son died, his successor would have no one else.

"Magistrate Chen is in charge of a county. You should know that there are eagle and wolf guards in my Taiping Road. The wolf guards monitor the four directions, and the eagle guards scout the enemy. For important places like Puzi City, there are naturally many people to investigate."

Seeing that Chen Shen's expression softened, Tian Zhong continued, "The county magistrate Chen sent the youngest son out of the city a long time ago. It seems that he has the will to die. He knows that Puzi City is difficult to hold on, so he made this decision."

Chen Shen put his hands behind his back, noncommittal.

Tian Zhong cupped his hands and said: "Li De, the captain of Xihe County, has chosen to submit to Huang Tian, ​​and we have already understood the deployment, military strength, food and grass in the city."

"In less than three months, Puzi City will run out of food and grass, and there will be chaos if there is no more aid. At that time, unless County Magistrate Chen can produce food, he will definitely be powerless."

"Jinyang, Pingyang, Gaodu, these fortified cities can't withstand the attack of our army. Does Chen County Magistrate think that this mere city wall of one or two feet can withstand the tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers from our Yellow Turban Army?"

Chen Shen didn't say anything, what Tian Zhong said, he had already thought about it in his heart.

In three months, the rebellion in Liangzhou involved the main force of the Han army, and the rebellion of the Huns cut off reinforcements from Bingzhou. How could Puzi City, an isolated city, survive.

He was just holding on, holding on to his pride as a Hanchen.

Eat Han Lu alive and die as a Han minister, this is Chen Shen's insistence.

Tian Zhong bowed again and said sincerely: "Mr. Chen has been an official for three years, and the people around Puzi City are all grateful for Mr. Chen's kindness."

"In the seventh year of Guanghe, my Yellow Turban Army had a bad reputation, but these were nothing but slander by the court. Since I entered Hedong County, has Chen Gong ever heard of looting?"

"The people who disturbed the people in the mountains before were all punished by the law in the army. We are not demons, but the imperial government is tyrannical. There is a severe drought in the world, but taxes are heavy. We have worked hard all our lives. The whip of the government."

Tian Zhong sighed and bowed again.

"A tyrannical government is fiercer than a tiger. I heard that Mr. Chen is sympathetic to the villagers, and he has walked in the fields for many days. I think Mr. Chen must know how difficult the life of the little people like us is..."

Chen Shen sighed, he really knew how hard it was for the people living in the lowest class.

All kinds of levies and miscellaneous taxes, endless hard labor, and endless recruitment. He has been an official for three years, but he has already witnessed countless families being destroyed.

Tian Zhong sincerely persuaded: "The result is already doomed. When there is war and chaos, it will be the common people who will suffer after all. The situation is difficult, why should Mr. Chen commit another crime."

"Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer."

"I also hope that Chen Gong will take pity on the lives of tens of thousands of people in Puzi City."

Chen Shen turned his head to look into the city. The once prosperous Puzi City had long since become extremely depressed due to the war. The people in the city are now relying on a little rice porridge to help them survive.

The situation in Puzi City became more and more chaotic. Compared with the chaotic Puzi City, the original yamen servants were far from enough. In order to maintain the law and order in the city, Chen Shen even mobilized part of the army.

"Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer..."

Chen Shen closed his eyes, chanting Tian Zhong's words.

"Is that what you said?"

Tian Zhong cupped his hands and said to the north: "Although Tian thinks he is eloquent, he can never say such profound words. These words are the words of a great virtuous teacher, and Tian is just quoting them."

"Xu An?"

Chen Shen opened his eyes, feeling a little emotional.

"To be able to say these words, such a heart has the style of a hero..."

……

The gate of Puzi City opened slowly, and there was a burst of deafening cheers outside the city.

Tian Zhong was also heartbroken, and thanked Chen Shen: "Thank you Mr. Chen for saving the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city today. Tian, ​​with his life as a guarantee, will protect Mr. Chen's youngest son."

With an expression on Chen Shen's face, he returned the salute: "I also hope that as Tian Fuchang promised, don't disturb the people, and cultivate the people."

"Since the army is ready to enter the city, I want to go home first and appease the family, it should be okay?"

Tian Zhong said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with it, I will definitely restrain the soldiers and not do anything to disturb the people."

The soldiers beside Chen Shen had already been dismissed by him, only one old servant still followed him.

Chen Shen, who gave the order to dedicate the city, seemed to have been drained of all his energy. If it weren't for the old servant's support, Tian Zhong even felt that Chen Shen might not be able to walk down the city wall.

Tian Zhong watched Chen Shen's back slowly disappear in front of his eyes, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the city, his robe was slowly walking towards Puzi City amidst cheers.

This city that blocked them for half a year finally came under Huang Tian's banner, and Huang Tian's power was once again strengthened.

They are one step closer to the world of Huang Tian in their dreams.

After the Yellow Turban Army marched into the city, they quickly took over the defense of the city.

Tian Zhong also came down from the city wall at this time. He found a war horse and asked several generals of the Han army to know the location of Chen Shen's home. Then he rode the war horse and walked towards Chen Shen's home.

Tian Zhong walked lightly all the way, and after a while, he arrived outside the gate of Chen Shen's residence.

Chen Shen's house was close to the county government office, but it was not big, and it didn't have any gorgeous decorations, and there were even a few dilapidated places that hadn't been repaired.

Tian Zhong got off his horse and wanted to knock on the door, but found that the door was only ajar and not locked, and there was still a faint cry in the courtyard...

Tian Zhong was startled, maybe taking advantage of the chaos, some gangsters in the city broke into Chen Shen's house and committed murder!

Tian Zhong suddenly pulled out the knife around his waist, kicked open the gate, and rushed into the courtyard.

When Tian Zhong walked into the house, the scene in front of him made Tian Zhong stop and move on.

A woman in blue fell to the ground and cried heart-rendingly. Beside her were several people dressed as servants, all of whom were in tears.

But in front of them, looking into the room through the open wooden door, was Chen Shen, who had already passed away, hanging on the white silk.

The strong wind blew, wandering in the courtyard, turning in the courtyard, making a humming sound, as if whimpering.

The ring head knife in Tian Zhong's hand fell to the ground with a soft sound.

The cool wind blew and rolled up a piece of letter paper.

Tian Zhong took a few steps forward and grabbed the paper that was blown by the wind.

Unfold the letter paper, there are only eight short characters on it.

"Eat Hanlu alive, and die as Hanchen."

Chapter 256 Worthy

In Jinyang City, in the camp of the Yellow Turban Army.

Six soldiers in armor followed closely behind a yellow scarf general who was wearing a visor and could not see his face.

Not far away, a patrolling Yellow Turban Army also discovered this slightly strange combination.

The leader of the Yellow Turban Army, holding the ring knife on his waist with his right hand, stared at the seven people in front of him, and shouted in a cold voice. "stop!"

The ten ordinary soldiers standing behind the chief of the Yellow Turban Army quickly formed an army formation, and the six soldiers with spears immediately put down their spears, while the other four soldiers had already held the ring-shoudao handle.

There is another person among them, who seems to be the corporal leader of Shizhong, he has already put the wooden whistle in his mouth, and if it is an enemy, he will immediately blow the whistle to warn.

Six men with guns and four with knives. This is a military order issued by Xu An. The military tents are arranged relatively closely. The terrain in some places is sometimes complicated. fight.

The commander of the Yellow Turban Army pulled out his ring sword and asked, "Is there a pass order for non-commissioned officers?"

Although the leader in front of him seemed to be a senior officer in the army, he had to ask about his duties.

These seven people were obviously not soldiers from their headquarters. The military regulations clearly forbade the sergeants in each station to move around with each other. When there is no war, the sergeants can only move around inside the circle, and when fighting, they can only move around within the squad.

However, the conflict did not break out. When the chief of the Yellow Turban Army asked, these people had already produced their stamped passes.

After the chief inspector of the Yellow Turban Army finished his inspection, he bowed and said, "I'm sorry for stopping you fellows, it's my responsibility."

All the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army behind him also put away their weapons.

"Speaking of it, it's still my fault. I have something important to do today, so I hurried over here just in time for the defense change, so maybe the soldiers who didn't send the letter didn't get notified."

The yellow scarf general in the mask smiled.

"However, as expected of a sergeant in the military camp, with such a quick response, Shen has learned a lot today."

The head of the Yellow Turban Army also laughed, everyone loves to hear flattery, and he is different, not to mention complimenting their entire military camp, and this person seems to be quite high-ranking.

"My subordinate is Shen An, the Thousand Household Officer of the Wolf Guard."

The Yellow Turban Army general who was being interrogated took off a red badge from his waist, showed it to the Chief of the Yellow Turban Army in front of him, and then took it back.

The commander of the Yellow Turban Army immediately reported his name, and replied: "The commander of the Yellow Turban Army's soldiers battalion, Chen Wu."

Shen An continued to say, "I was ordered by the superior today to come to the military camp to inquire about some things."

"Could it be that people from our military camp are harassing the people outside?"

Chen Wu's complexion changed slightly. When he invaded Hedong County, there were indeed several people in the military camp who were disturbing the people and they were found, and Tiqi from the Eagle Wolf Guard came to arrest them.

So the first thing he thought of was this.

"That's not true." Shen An laughed. "It's just an ordinary inspection to check the military equipment and the like."

"I remember I reported it earlier, saying that many of the armors in the military camp seem to be damaged, and they need to be repaired, right?"

"Yes."

Chen Wu replied: "After the last war, there are indeed many weapons and armors that need to be replaced."

"We used to have ten sets of armor in Shizhong, but now we still have six sets that can be used. There is also a crossbow machine, which has a lot of damage."

Shen An nodded and said: "It's clear, after I return to the office, I must immediately report to the superior and send craftsmen to repair it."

"Thank you, comrade." Chen Wu said with a smile, "Shen Qianhu is the thousand household officer of Eagle Wolf Guard. I also want to ask Shen Qianhu about something. I don't know if it's okay."

Shen An was a little puzzled, but still said, "Of course."

"Our former team leader was called Zhao Ji. He was transferred to the Eagle Wolf Guard a few days ago. It seems that he went to some Jiangyi City and became an official of a hundred households."

Shen An said with a smile: "You want to ask how Zhao Ji's situation is."

"Zhao Baihu may soon become Zhao Qianhu. Before he was in Jiangyi City, he caught the spy of the Han army, so we were prepared, otherwise we might suffer a big loss."

"I can't be sure, when Zhao Baihu is promoted to Qianhu, you will be transferred to my Eagle Wolf Guard."

Chen Wu grinned, but he refused: "It's fine to go to the Eagle Wolf Guard. I heard that the people who can be transferred to the Eagle Wolf Guard are all scouts from various armies, and they can also ride and know a thing or two. Craftsmen, we don’t know anything, so forget it, don’t hold back the team.”

Shen An paused for a while, then continued to ask: "When did you join the Yellow Turban Army?"

"The second year of Zhongping." Chen Wu thought for a while, "I can't remember the exact date, but I just remember that it was July [-]th of the second year of Zhongping."

"The second year of Zhongping..."

Shen An seemed to be trapped in memories, and said with emotion.

"Counting the time, it has been two years now. In the past two years, we seem to have been fighting, walking, and moving forward without stopping."

Chen Wu looked at the person in front of him and suddenly felt familiar, but he couldn't see Shen An's face clearly through the visor.

"Stone Crisp Mountain, Chishiling, Jinyang, Kuicheng..."

Shen An smiled and said, "So we've come so far..."

Chen Wu shook his head lightly, got rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, and said: "Our Fu Zhu said that we can rest for half a month this time, and when the newly built Xiaoqi battalion is almost integrated, we will continue Let's go, take Xihe County, and then..."

Shen An looked at Chen Wu with a smile in front of him, and asked: "You have been fighting all the time, and you have almost never stopped. You must be very tired, right?"

Chen Wu stopped speaking, looked at Pao Ze beside him, and didn't answer what Shen An said directly.

"Fu Zhu said that now there are powerful enemies on all sides, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are staring at us with swords and soldiers. As long as we are defeated, as long as we retreat, they will rush over like wolves in the mountains and kill us. We tore to shreds."

"I believe in Fu Zhu's words, I believe in the words of the great virtuous teacher."

"And." Chen Wu smiled, "It's better to be tired than to be dead, and it's better than hiding in the mountains every day, not knowing when you will be killed by wolves, tigers, leopards, officials, thieves and bandits."

"Although in the army, you also need to fight and die, but it's not the same."

Standing quietly in front of Chen Wu, listening carefully to Chen Wu's words.
