After climbing out of the dead, Xu Sheng endured hunger all the way, fled back to his hometown Qingzhou incognito, found his relatives, but found that they were almost starving to death.

In order to give the relatives a chance to survive, Xu Sheng had to raise the banner again, take the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, and with the help of his brothers, he formed a team and robbed the rich families everywhere, and used the food and grass stored in their families to feed everyone. Later, the rich families robbed them all, and went to grab the poor, no matter how much food they were, but they still lived a hungry and had to avoid starvation to death.

As the leader, Xu Sheng had no choice but to do anything about this situation. Although he would not starve himself, he often felt powerless when facing hungry subordinates.

"If the great wise and good teacher is still there, he will definitely be able to do it..." Xu Sheng often thought of this thought in a vague way, and then he would try to throw it aside without touching his sad past.

Finally, he hoped that Zhang Rao, a coach he had known before, would return to Qingzhou from Jizhou with 200,000 Yellow Turbans. Xu Sheng immediately took his troops and the elderly, weak, women and children to join him, hoping that he could lead everyone to a new path like a great wise and good teacher, so that the flag of the Yellow Turbans would fly on every city in the Central Plains.

Zhang Rao's skills were indeed extraordinary. He captured many county towns in a short time, but he met his opponent, Jia Xu, the prefect of Beihai, and Zhang Liao, the commander of his subordinate. In a very short time, he trained an elite soldier, defeated the Yellow Turban Army and lost several formations, and his confidence was almost flattened.

The day before yesterday, he followed Zhang Rao to take advantage of the dog officials biting each other and led his troops to attack Linzi, but he encountered ambush by the officers and soldiers. Most of the troops and horses in the headquarters were damaged and had to flee to Yanzhou and abandon the foundation of Qingzhou.

Fortunately, there were also a large number of hungry people in Taishan County. As soon as he entered Taishan County, countless refugees came to join him. Soon he gathered 20,000 troops, twice as many as before. With these 20,000 people, plus tens of thousands of elderly, weak, women and children, they attacked Laiwu. With the help of the Yellow Turban brothers in the city, they defeated the Lord of Laiwu.

Qu Commander Zhang Rao led his army to pass by Laiwu. When he saw his achievements, he praised him and asked him to guard Laiwu. Although he was glorious, he also had a great responsibility: he should beware of the attack of enemy soldiers from Qingzhou.

The Beihai soldiers had occupied Qingzhou, and their reputation for bravery shocked all directions, making Xu Sheng's subordinates often feel fear. This is nothing. The most terrifying thing is that the brave King Wuwei, who is the most famous, actually came from Luoyang to Qingzhou and took over the governor of Qingzhou. The one who ambushed outside Linzi City and stabbed Zhang Rao with a halberd on his left shoulder was the terrifying King Wuwei!

He uprooted the foundation of Xu Sheng's Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, and brought tens of thousands of soldiers to Yanzhou. Could it be that he really refused to let the Yellow Turban Army go and must kill them all?

Thinking of the resentment, Xu Sheng bit his teeth hard, his eyes full of anger.

He put on his clothes and asked a few guards to come in, help him put on his armor, draw out his sword, strode out of the door and head towards the city wall.

The city gate was closed. On the ancient and old city wall, thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers looked nervously at the smoke and dust outside the city wall, with fear in their eyes.

Xu Sheng walked to the top of the city and looked up from afar. He saw a military horse coming here, stopping far outside the city, digging trenches, and preparing to set up a camp.

Xu Sheng was full of resentment and shouted: "Where is the third brother?"

His clan Xu He ran up to the top of the city and shouted: "Brother, I'm here!"

Xu Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "You go and bring an elite soldier. Let's take advantage of the fact that the enemy's soldiers have not yet established a stable foothold, and we will rush to kill for a while, which will dampen his aura!"

Xu He's eyes showed excitement and was about to agree loudly, but suddenly his eyes turned and landed on a horse galloping outside the city, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

The horse was extremely tall, which was unprecedented in Xu He, and was more taller than other horses. Its whole body was pure black fur, with oily black and shiny, shining under the sunlight, without a single hair. It seemed to be a majestic and majestic horse, which made Xu He envious.

The general immediately had a handsome appearance, a cold face, and a very tall and powerful figure. He was holding a thick and large square painting halberd in his hand. The halberd was as thick as a bowl, and the crescent blade at the end of the halberd was very large and sharp, with a cold light. It was obviously a magic weapon, which made people frightened.

The general's aura was as fierce as a fierce general. His eyes only swept to the top of the city. The Yellow Turban soldiers on the city felt cold all over. They immediately became a little shorter and retreated, not daring to look at his sharp gaze.

Xu He was stunned for a while, woke up, turned to look at Xu Sheng, but saw that his eyes were straight, his face was filled with fear, and his face was full of anger, looking both hatred and afraid.

Xu He whispered a few words, and Xu Sheng woke up. He turned around and saw him, and said angrily: "Why haven't you been to mobilize troops?"

Xu He had a serious expression and said softly: "Brother, I think the person outside may be the King of Wuwei from Luoyang!"

Xu Sheng's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He drew his sword and was about to leave the city to fight the fierce general. He waved the sword in the air for a few times, but couldn't speak. He stopped and looked back at the King of Wuwei who was running back and forth outside the city, and said dejectedly: "Don't go out of the city and rush to the camp. Let's guard the city first! Go and tell your brothers, be careful to defend the city and don't let the enemy rush in!"

Xu He also looked depressed, lowered his head and took the order, and went there with a sigh.

Outside the city, Feng Sha looked back at the soldiers who dug trenches and set up villages, called a captain, and gave a few instructions.

The captain kowtowed and left. Soon after, he brought dozens of loudly voiced soldiers to stand in front of the city and shouted loudly: "The King of Wuwei has an order. The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army in the city will not be punished. Those who bring the army to surrender can forgive their sins and be given officials. Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

When the Yellow Turban soldiers in the city heard this, they all showed half-believing and half-doubtedness, but some were secretly happy and knew that their lives might be preserved after siege.

When Xu Sheng saw the joy hidden on his subordinates' faces, he couldn't help but be furious and stood on the top of the city and roared: "Nonsense! The government army has always gone back on its word. How can you believe such lies! People come, I only find hundreds of loud brothers and try my best to curse outside the city!"

Xu He hurriedly called hundreds of people to go to the city, and cursed loudly at the government army that dug trenches and set up camp. The curses immediately suppressed the persuasion of the government army outside the city.

Feng Sha didn't care when he heard the scolding from the city, and he ordered a messenger to send a message to the camp. Soon, thousands of people surrounded the city walls, shouted loudly, and said the words just now in unison. The voice resounded throughout the city, and the people in the city and the Yellow Turbans could hear it clearly.

There were only more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans in the small town of Laiwu, and only more than 20,000 of them were strong. Most of them were starved by the years of famine and were pale and thin, and they were weak all over. Seeing the Qingzhou army coming here, the people in the city were frightened, fearing that the official army would enter the city to slaughter and loot. Later, I heard that the one who led the army to attack the city was the King of Wuwei who spread the world in the name of benevolence and righteousness. All the people were secretly happy and secretly rumored that this time there was a way out.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were also afraid that the enemy was powerful. After hearing this, although they were not very convinced, they said in their hearts: "Although King Wuwei was cruel, he always kept his word. He said he would not kill us. If we surrender, we would probably be able to survive and would not be beheaded to repay the court." Since then, he has become a little timid and has a desire to surrender, but he is afraid of Xu Sheng's majesty. No one dares to spit out the word "submission" to him.

The Qingzhou army came one after another. By dusk, more than 20,000 people had gathered and set up camp outside Laiwu City.

This time, only Zhang Liao and others came with Feng Sha. Jia Xu and others led 20,000 troops to come from behind, but Qin Yao was sent by Feng Sha to defend Qingzhou to prevent Jizhou and Yuzhou from attacking.

Zhang Liao led his army to come, ran to Fengsha, dismounted and bowed, and said, "Lord, our army is in full swing. Should we attack Laiwu and capture the city in one fell swoop?"

Feng Sha shook his head and said, "No need. The small city of Laiwu can be easily captured. However, the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops in Taishan County are quite powerful. If our army captures Laiwu and attacks Taishan again, it will inevitably be very damaged. Now our army only attacks Laiwu with 20,000 people. The enemy generals are afraid and will ask for help from Taishan County. Our army besieges the city to fight for help. The Yellow Turbans are just a group of mobs. On the wilderness, they will definitely defeat the enemy in one fell swoop! It will be much easier to attack Taishan County again."

Only then did Zhang Liao realize that doing so would save a lot of energy to attack the city, and the military advisor Jia Xu also lurked behind with 20,000 soldiers. If the Yellow Turban Army attacked, it would be enough to defeat the Yellow Turban thieves in one fell swoop. Therefore, he no longer had any objections. He followed Feng Sha's order and went down to order the soldiers to cook and rest.

That night, Fengsha sent two thousand soldiers to the city to shout for surrender, and tied hundreds of documents to the arrow shaft to shoot into the city. The people and the Yellow Turban soldiers in the city picked them up and hid them quietly. They took them to the gentleman who recognized the word to ask him to read them. They heard the words inside: If they can surrender when the army attacks the city, they can avoid death; if they surrender before the city, they can get the rewarded food. The people in the city can look forward to it and wait for the army to capture Laiwu. When the tax is exempted for three years, the tax rate will be much lower than now. When the people and the Yellow Turban soldiers heard this, they were surprised. Although they dared not believe it, they all secretly thought about it and had some intention of surrendering.
