"You dog county magistrate, open the city gate and surrender! Our commander Qu can still spare your dog life!"

"Otherwise, tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans will rush into the city and chop off your head as a chamber pot!!"

Outside Zhuo County, a group of Yellow Turban soldiers gathered together and shouted at the city wall.

"Damn Yellow Turbans!" On the city wall, the county magistrate slapped the parapet fiercely.

The city of Zhuo County, which had closed the city gates, was surrounded by more than 10,000 Yellow Turbans.

Fortunately, Liu Bei, who was responsible for the defense of the city, reacted quickly.

He found something wrong in the wilderness and immediately closed the city gates.

In the previous operation, he also cleared out the Taiping Taoists in the city.

Otherwise, Zhuo County might be broken by the rebellious Yellow Turban thieves, who would work together from inside and outside.

In that case, he, the county magistrate, would not only lose his official hat.

Even his head would be lost.

Most of the Yellow Turbans were refugees who could not survive.

There were also some desperate men leading them.

They were merciless when they killed people.

The magistrate of Zhuo County had heard that some manors in Youzhou were breached by the Yellow Turbans.

That was a terrible outcome.

Especially the landlords in the manors.

Those Yellow Turbans killed like crazy.

They probably hated those landlords so much because they had been bullied and their families were broken up in the past.

Such news made the landlords and clan nobles in Zhuo County feel insecure.

They were afraid that the city would be breached.

"Mr. County Magistrate, the family of Mr. Li in the city contributed 20,000 coins to defend the city."

Liu Bei walked up to the city wall with a few men, carrying a few strings of copper coins, which were very conspicuous.

The soldiers on the city wall looked at them in unison, and the copper coins attracted people's attention.

"Hmph!" The county magistrate snorted coldly, "Now you know how to manage the county."

"What did you do before?"

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion scared them."

"Damn you guys, when you annexed other people's land, why didn't you leave some way for those refugees to live."

"Alas!" Liu Bei sighed.

He used to be a minor official, and he knew very well what the clan nobles in the folk were doing behind the scenes.

They were rich and powerful, and they could use some means to destroy the families of ordinary people who owned a few acres of thin land.

Then they annexed other people's land and forced those people to sell themselves into slavery.

The harvest was bad these years, and the grain was poor.

And the people who had become serfs were driven out of the farm.

Not even a little food was given.

Let them fend for themselves.

If they didn't rebel, where else could they run?

But the officials in the court didn't care about this.

They want to make money and live a life of luxury.

They don't care about the lives of ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei suddenly thought of Liu Yu.

That young owner is a clear stream in such a chaotic world.

Not only did he provide the villagers with a full meal.

He also absorbed the poor people from the surrounding villages.

What he did was really something that only a great man of good deeds could do!

Liu Bei admired him even more.

"Xuan De."

The county magistrate looked at the densely packed Yellow Turban bandits under the city and sighed.

"What should we do now?"

"Even if we issued a conscription order in Zhuo County, we can only gather 500 soldiers."

"But we don't even have enough weapons."

"How can we fight against these tens of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels?"

Liu Bei frowned, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

He leaned close to the county magistrate's ear and spoke in a low voice.

"The big families in the city should provide more help at this time."

The county magistrate narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Go on."

"Let them donate weapons, people, money and materials." Liu Bei continued to speak in a low voice.

"Don't let any of them go."

"If you don't help now, will you wait until the city is broken by the Yellow Turbans?"

"Can't we all go to the guillotine together?"

"Which family doesn't help? Just..."

Liu Bei made a cutting and roaring gesture on his neck, his eyes flashing fiercely.

"Just do what I Xuande said!" The county magistrate made up his mind.

In this situation, he doesn't care if he offends anyone.

Survival is the most important thing.

If he can't resist the Yellow Turbans' attack, he's done for!

Liu Bei led his soldiers and rushed down the city wall and ran towards the city.

The most important thing now is weapons!

He secretly said, if he was given more time.

Facilitate the sale of weapons between the government and Tiezhuang.

Buy some ten-level weapons and bring them back.

He had already rushed out with his soldiers.

Even if he only had a thousand soldiers, he would dare to attack more than ten thousand Yellow Turbans.

Possessing a magical weapon that can cut through steel, it would be a waste if he didn't make achievements.

Unfortunately, time didn't wait for him.

Before the weapons were discussed, the Yellow Turbans surrounded the city.

What a waste of such a good opportunity!

...

Outside the city of Zhuo County.

Cheng YuanzhiSitting in the big tent, drinking with several commanders.

"General, come and drink!" Deng Mao, as the second-in-command of this Yellow Turban team, took the initiative to invite wine.

"Damn Zhuo County government, they closed the door quickly."

"And they took all the people in our city."

"Otherwise, we can drink in the county now!"

Deng Mao said angrily.

"I heard that people from other roads have broken through the city." Cheng Yuanzhi said enviously, beating his mouth with wine.

"The gains are very heavy."

"Especially in Jizhou."

"Every city is very rich."

"Cut off the heads of those landlords and raided their homes."

"I don't know how much wealth they got."

"It will definitely make you and me more than we can earn in eight lifetimes."

"That's right!" Deng Mao snorted coldly.

"Damn landlords, they only know how to bully the people."

"Don't leave us a way to live."

"If there is food to eat, who the hell is willing to put their head on the waistband to rebel?"

"Isn't it good to live a stable life?"

"Now that we are rebelling, we must chop all the landlords in the world to pieces!"

"Let them bully us again!"

The commanders in the big tent echoed.

The atmosphere was very warm.

"My Lords!"

A personal soldier with a yellow scarf on his head ran into the big tent.

"I asked around nearby."

"Several farms have run away."

"Can't get food!"

"Damn it!" Deng Mao stood up with a whoosh.

"If you can't get food, don't you think of other ways?"

"Do you need me to teach you?"

"Uh..." The yellow scarf personal soldier's face froze.

I thought, why are you being so rude to me? If you don't obey me, go fight the government troops in that city.

They used to be peasants.

They got lucky and became the leader of the army, and they are so arrogant.

"Any other news?" Cheng Yuanzhi asked in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The personal soldiers hurriedly told the story.

"I heard that there was a Zhangjiazhuang in Zhuo County before, and the owner of the manor raised pigs with people."

"But he ran away recently."

"It is said that he went to Tiezhuang in Youbeiping County."

The Yellow Turban leaders in the big tent listened carefully.

"It is said that Tiezhuang has a huge family background and a lot of food, which can make people eat well."

"Oh!!" The leaders in the big tent exclaimed in unison.

In this day and age, a manor that can eat well is definitely one in a million.

"More importantly, that Tiezhuang can forge weapons!"

The second news from the personal soldiers completely detonated the whole big tent.

"Zhuangzi who can forge weapons?" Cheng Yuanzhi's slight drunkenness disappeared instantly.

He stood up suddenly and rushed to the front of the personal guards in the middle of the big tent in two steps.

"Tell this commander in chief in detail."

"Don't miss any information!"
