Chapter 5 The Yellow Turban is like herding sheep
At that time, Guan Yu was selling mung beans, Liu Bei was selling straw sandals, and Zhang Fei was a wealthy landlord. He was enjoying drinking and eating meat at home.
Then, someone went to Zhang Fei's butcher stall to buy meat, but the meat seller said that the meat could not be sold.
Onlookers asked why it couldn't be sold.
The clerk said that the meat was placed in a well and the well was covered with a millstone, so it could not be sold.
Guan Yu was watching the excitement and said, "If you move the millstone, can't you take out the meat?"
The waiter chuckled and said, "My boss has said that whoever can remove the millstone can get all the meat from the well."
The waiter looked at the burly and outstanding Guan Yu in the crowd, and there was no hint of ridicule in his eyes. Maybe this waiter had seen his boss lift the millstone and put it at the mouth of the well. Therefore, the waiter was also knowledgeable and knew that there was real human ability.
Carrying grinding.
Then, with everyone watching, Guan Yu raised the millstone with his bare hands and threw the millstone to the ground.
The millstone was removed, and Guan Yu took the meat from the well, but instead of keeping it for himself, he ordered his servants to cut the meat into small pieces and distribute it to everyone.
Beside the city gate, Liu Xuande, who was standing by and watching, admired Guan Yu deeply when he saw Guan Yu's bravery and his righteous deed of sharing his flesh among others.
Then, the waiter hurried back to call Zhang Fei, who was having a drink, and said that someone had taken away his employer's meat and distributed it to the people.
When Zhang Fei heard this, he rushed over in a hurry and found an excuse to start a fight with Guan Yu.
Zhang Fei's pursuit of revenge is fake, let's see if Guan Yu's ability is real. Both of them are brave and unstoppable. This fight will be earth-shattering.
While the fight was getting fierce, another strong man stepped forward and separated the two fighting men, Guan and Zhang.
The three of them didn't know each other until they had a fight, and they regretted meeting each other late. They became sworn brothers in Taoyuan and became brothers with different surnames, which will be remembered for thousands of years.
This is the beginning of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the story of the three sworn brothers, Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan.
The porridge was cold, so Li Mengxi drank a small amount and let his younger brother eat the rest.
Not long after breakfast, the entire Yellow Turban camp became noisy. The Yellow Turban soldiers, that is, the elite Yellow Turbans who can wear armor and hold real weapons in their hands, shouted everywhere to break camp and march to Zhuojun.
.
There was a commotion, and Li Mengxi was a little confused, and his younger brother grabbed Li Mengxi's hand nervously.
The Yellow Turban is going to attack Zhuo County, and according to history, this Yellow Turban will become the experience package for Liu Guan and Zhang Sanying.
It's Liu Bei. Liu Bei is different from evil men like Dong Zhuo. Liu Bei should not kill prisoners.
A new plan came to mind. If I looked for an opportunity, it would be better to vote for Liu Xuande than to sneak away and find a random village to join the villagers.
So, when the Yellow Turban refugees were heading towards Zhuojun along the road in a vast and chaotic manner without formation or discipline, Li Mengxi pulled his younger brother and became more and more excited as they walked.
I am very hungry and want to eat. It would be better if there is meat to eat.
Liu Xuande should have something to eat, Li Mengxi thought.
It was the first time that Li Mengxi participated in the march. Originally, Li Mengxi was worried that he and his younger brother would lose their arms and legs if they couldn't keep up with the team.
After walking for a while, I realized that I was thinking too much.
The Yellow Turban refugees marched with hoes on their shoulders and even a sharpened bamboo pole in their hands. It was like going to the market. If they saw weeds such as dandelions on the roadside, some people would go over to grab them, and they might even fight.
If you don't have anything to eat, dandelion roots can satisfy your hunger.
Therefore, the longer the queue of Yellow Turban refugees goes, the longer the queue becomes and the fewer people there are.
Li Mengxi, who was walking in the ranks of the refugees, saw how miserable the Yellow Turban march was. He understood to some extent why the peasant uprisings had failed repeatedly since ancient times.
Individual military discipline is a major problem faced by the peasant rebel army.
Li Mengxi looked forward and saw few people. Looking behind him, the people behind him were even more scattered. This country warrior who went to attack Zhuojun was bound to be defeated.
While tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans were heading towards Zhuojun, a group of hundreds of Xiangyong from Zhuojun also came towards the Yellow Turbans along the official road.
The two came towards each other, and soon, the scouts of the Yellow Turban front team collided head-on with Xiang Yong's sentries.
The two sides fought for a while, but the rural warriors with few cavalry were defeated by the Yellow Turbans and retreated in embarrassment.
The victorious Yellow Turban scouts did not pursue them, but quickly reported back to Commander Qu, saying that they had encountered an army ahead, probably seven or eight miles ahead.
The Yellow Turban Qushuai who was preparing to attack Zhuojun was named Deng Mao. He had a mustache and was brave. He was good at using an iron spear. Because of his bravery, he became the leader of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban refugees.
Deng Mao's deputy general was named Cheng Yuanzhi, and he also had the courage to pick one out of a thousand.
When Deng Mao heard that he had bumped into the army, he immediately became energetic and immediately ordered the army to stop halfway.
It should be said that Deng Mao is still somewhat self-aware and is considered to be proficient in the art of war.
Knowing that the refugees were marching loosely and lagging behind, and unable to summon the manpower in a hurry, Deng Mao temporarily ordered the army to stop halfway, and lined up in the middle of the formation, waiting for the officers and soldiers to hit them, waiting for work.
For the cavalry, the distance of five, six or seven miles can be reached in a matter of seconds.
Besides, Liu, Guan, and Zhang, who came with the troops, were eager to fight. Zhang Fei was impatient, so he left the infantry and led a dozen cavalry to fight him for a while.
Liu Xuande was still cautious and stopped Zhang Fei. Then, Liu Bei sent out all the sentries to inquire about the news. He also led hundreds of local warriors to slow down the march and slowly came along the road.
The armies of both sides soon collided with each other and faced each other two hundred steps apart.
At the Yellow Turban Army Formation, Li Mengxi was mixed in the crowd. There were people in front of him. It was so crowded that he couldn't see what was going on in front of him.
However, Li Mengxi clearly felt that the atmosphere had become tense. There were fewer whispers from the nearby Yellow Turban Army, and everyone looked serious.
Looking up, because of his height, Li Mengxi could only see the heads of adults. His body was that of a child, and it was very dangerous to be mixed up in the chaos. If someone accidentally tripped and fell, a stampede would occur.
It's cold.
After thinking for a while, Li Mengxi felt that it would be better to move to the side.
So, Li Mengxi told his younger brother to hold on to his hand tightly and not to get lost.
The two brothers carefully moved through the crowd, ducking to the sides and back.
At this moment, I feel like I have returned to the time when I was a child watching a theater in the next village and crawling under the stage full of people.
For some reason, Li Mengxi actually found it a bit fun to swoop around like a little mouse, and his younger brother even giggled happily.
Suddenly, there was a light in front of him, and he reached the outskirts of the crowd. Li Mengxi suddenly stopped, and his body suddenly tensed up.
Behind the Yellow Turban formation, a group of fierce Yellow Turban soldiers wearing armor and holding bloody swords stared at them fiercely.
On the ground, there were several corpses that had been chopped down.
Supervise the team!
Li Mengxi's eyes widened, and he realized it instantly, and then quickly pulled his brother back.
Chapter completed!
