Chapter 24 The Head of the Zeng Family
After one blow, Yan Liang no longer paid attention to the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai's death with his eyes open, and the enemy's chief's war horse fled in panic, and then rushed to the Yellow Turban bandit riding on the horse to kill him.
"Equestrians who ride horses will die!"
In Yan Liang's eyes, anyone with a horse must be an important figure in the Yellow Turban bandits. As long as they are killed, the mobs will become scattered sand and be slaughtered.
"Shishou Qu is dead..."
"Uh..."
"Escape quickly..."
...
Coach Qu was instantly killed by Yan Liang's formation, and the subsequent cavalry strangled, the Yellow Turban bandits with no heads were immediately like headless flies, running around and running around for life.
"Put down your weapons and share your food and land!"
"Put down your weapons and share your food and land!"
...
Just as the Yellow Turban bandits were in panic all day long and fleeing, suddenly the sound of surrender suddenly sounded everywhere.
"Hmm?"
The frightened Yellow Turban soldier slowly stopped his pace, communicating with his companions beside him while listening.
"Put down your weapons and share your food and land!"
After confirming that he was indeed correct, the desperate Yellow Turban bandits, with a lucky mentality, abandoned the weapons in their hands, sat on the ground, waiting to be taken into shelter.
To be more precise, it is waiting for the miracle of sharing grain and land to appear.
...
The one who shouted was naturally Tao Ying Zhongjun who followed.
Tao Ying led the infantry to chase and rush forward. When he entered the battlefield, he realized that the battle had become a one-sided "sheep driving".
Looking at the Yellow Turban bandits like headless flies running around, Tao Ying's thief eyes shone with faint light.
"This is the foundation of Brother's military source, labor force, and future territorial prosperity!"
Tao Ying naturally couldn't just watch these people be killed or escaped.
"Oh, Yan Liang, who is full of muscles, why don't he know how to cherish human resources? Be careful that you will be shut up in the dark room!"
So, Tao Ying hurriedly ordered his soldiers to shout, causing the panicked Yellow Turban bandits to surrender.
This move really works. When Ji Ling's back team came up, the Yellow Turban bandits who had already escaped everywhere took the initiative to come back one after another and joined the queue for shelter.
Yes, if there is food and field, who will rebel?
Or, isn’t rebellion just for food and land?
The overall situation has been decided, Tao Ying ordered Yan Liang to patrol the cavalry everywhere and continue to contain the fleeing Yellow Turban bandits.
He also ordered Sun Guan, Sun Kang and Wu Dun to disperse the surrendered Yellow Turban soldiers, and select the Yellow Turban elites who can join the Xuanjia Army.
"Fuyi, follow me to the fort to raise food and grass."
Before the troops move, food and grass will come first.
Now that he has absorbed tens of thousands of Yellow Turban bandits, the Xuanjia Army is also in battle lightly. If Tao Ying did not solve the food and grass problem early, it would not be just a matter of hunger.
"Zeng's Dock."
Ji Ling took several horses and guarded Tao Ying to the nearest fortress. It was a arrow away from the fortress. Tao Ying stopped and looked at the plaque of the fortress, looked around inward for a few more times, and then he made people shout.
"The Tao Mansion of Mount Tai is here, let your officials come out to answer!"
Before long, a man surrounded by several people appeared on the fort. Judging from his round, fat, white and gold-skinned, Tao Ying concluded that this person should be the owner of the fort.
"I am the head of the Zeng family, the lord of this square castle."
The head of the Zeng family who escaped from death had the darkness on his face, and at this time he became rich and powerful again. Looking at Tao Ying wearing armor outside the castle, a hint of contempt and arrogance appeared in his eyes.
"The head of the Zeng family, Tao Ying, was the prefect of Mount Tai. This time, he received a request for help from the Prime Minister of Lu Chen Yi, and came to rescue Bian County."
Tao Ying didn't want to talk nonsense, he was still in a hurry to rush to Bian County, so he opened the door and raised his hand with a smile and pointed to the Yellow Turban bandits who had put down their weapons and sat quietly behind him.
"Now all the Yellow Turban bandits in Huangxiangcheng have put down their weapons. The guard has promised to take them back to Taishan County to farm. Before that, I hope that all the fortress owners will provide a ration so that they can go to Taishan County."
The head of the Zeng family was stunned, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Tao Ying carefully with the fire.
"I really didn't expect that the one who came to rescue was the new prefect of Taishan County!"
The head of the Zeng family's swollen face shook, and a little surprise appeared in his eyes.
"So young, it's not that the Yellow Turban bandits are cheating, right?"
The servants beside him reminded the head of the Zeng family.
It’s not up to the servants to doubt it, just Tao Ying is hard to find a trace of the domineering a superior.
The Xuanjia Army behind him was even more chaotic and was not as good as an ordinary militia, let alone the mighty and majestic army of the court.
The clothes of the Xuanjia Army are not much better than the current Yellow Turban bandits.
"No, it should be reinforcements from Taishan County."
Yan Liang killed the Yellow Turban Qu commander in the formation of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban bandits, and killed all directions, forcing the Yellow Turban soldiers to surrender, which really solved the danger of the city in the city of Huangxiang. This happened in front of everyone, and the head of the Zeng family could see the truth.
"However, I, Zeng's food, feed dogs and pigs, and I, don't feed the Yellow Turban bandits!"
Even though Tao Ying was relieved, the head of the Zeng family would not do it if he wanted him to provide food to the Yellow Turban bandits who almost killed his life.
"In theory, the demands of the county magistrate Tao are not excessive and are very kind and righteous. But who can guarantee that these Yellow Turban thieves who are lazy and hate labor and remain unchanged will be desperate today and put down their swords and guns. After a full meal in the future, they will be able to farm peacefully?"
The head of the Zeng family standing on the fort looked down at Tao Ying and slowly shook his head.
"Mr. Tao, you are too young. Zeng reminds you, don't raise a tiger to cause trouble, and cause fire to burn your body!"
Hearing this, Tao Ying was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Ji Ling blankly, and asked in his heart.
"I've been busy for a long time and I've got this result?"
Tao Ying was a little confused. The head of the Zeng family could not trust the Yellow Turban Thief, or the guardian of a county.
"Did they have a poor memory and quickly forget that they just earned their lives from the brink of death?"
The head of the Zeng family clearly did not give Tao Ying face, so Ji Ling was naturally extremely angry, and the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand became tighter and tighter.
"Lord, these powerful and wealthy families are all ungrateful people who are not as good as wolf-hearted as pigs and dogs. If you are not as good as pigs and dogs, let the spirit..."
Tao Ying raised his hand to stop his eyes from spitting fire. Ji Ling, who was chosen to devour others, continued to speak, suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked up and asked the head of the Zeng family.
"With the view of the Castle Lord, how should we deal with these Yellow Turban bandits?"
A cold and ruthless flashed in the eyes of the head of the Zeng family, and he blurted out his thoughts without hesitation.
"Of course, I am following the example of Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi, and killing all these Yellow Turban thieves to prevent future troubles!"
Looking at the head of the Zeng family who looked as if he was taken for granted, Tao Ying was shocked and looked incredible.
"This is the State of Lu. Zeng is a big surname in this place. He is so cold-blooded and has no compassion!"
Lu is the hometown of saints, and is still known as the hometown of benevolence and righteousness of the Han Dynasty, and the pilgrimage place for scholars all over the world. Tao Ying did not expect that people's hearts would become so cold-blooded and ruthless.
"Didn't it be said that a gentleman is virtuous?"
No wonder the population during the Three Kingdoms decreased from about 50 million at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to a mere few million.
"Bensuke understands!"
Tao Ying no longer wants to waste time with these unkind people, so he makes the last request.
"To do this, my subordinates all went into battle lightly to rescue Bian County, and only brought food for one day. Now that the food is gone, I hope that the gentry of the country will support a group of people. I will continue to go to the Bian County to rescue the dangers."
Tao Ying also thought it through clearly, it is important to manage his own territory.
After the soldiers and the Yellow Turban bandits who had put down their weapons had a good meal, he led his troops to continue northward and entered Nanwuyang, Taishan County from Bian County.
"This is easy to say. County Magistrate Tao will rest outside the fort for a while, and wait for the owner of this fort to discuss with other forts, and will send the corresponding food and grass to comfort the army."
The head of the Zeng family agreed very readily.
"A group of militias that are not much better than the Yellow Turban bandits can cost a few stones of grain!"
The head of the Zeng family has seen that the reinforcements brought by Tao Ying were only 3,000 at most, and there was not much food for supporting him. If he was distributed to other large fortresses, it would be a drop in the bucket.
"It's my fault that the head of the Zeng family is."
