"Zhou Cang, Pei Yuan Shao? So it's them."
Zhou Cheng wasn't too surprised because Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao had been hiding in the forest after Zhang Bao's defeat, wandering around Yingchuan and Wancheng.
Now that Zhou Cheng had killed Zhu Rong, defeated Sun Jian, and gathered more than 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, they had come to join Zhou Cheng. This was also a matter of cleaning up.
Then, Zhou Cheng said to the soldiers,"Bring them in."”
"Here." The soldier turned around and left.
At the same time, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao were waiting outside the camp with over two thousand people.
The two of them passed through the entrance of the camp and looked inside. They saw punishment stations everywhere.
However, he stood straight and his formation was square, which made the two curious.
They were all Yellow Turban generals under Zhang Bao's command, so they had naturally seen the Yellow Turban army train their soldiers. However, they had never seen such a strange training method. While he was curious, he also looked forward to seeing Zhou Cheng.
It was rumored that this little canal marshal was the reincarnation of Xiang Yu. Although he was young, he was quite capable in battle. It was also rumored that he was entrusted by General Heaven Duke to save the Yellow Turban Army and the common people.
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao did not dare to believe the rumors.
However, it was a fact that Zhou Cheng had killed Zhu Rong and defeated Sun Jian. This couldn't be faked. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers under him could be seen with the naked eye. Therefore, it was not a bad choice to join Zhou Cheng.
The soldiers who went in to report had already come out and brought Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao to the commander's tent.
At this moment, Zhou Cheng had already put on his sleeve armor and looked at the two of them.
Zhou Cang was tall and had a black face and curly beard.
Compared to Zhou Cang, Pei Yuan Shao was relatively normal, but he also looked very strong and powerful.
Zhou Cheng was looking at Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao. The two of them were also looking at Zhou Cheng.
It was indeed similar to the rumors.
Although he was young, he was nine feet tall, with a tiger's back and wolf's waist, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was really not an ordinary person.
Zhou Cheng said to Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao,"You are Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao under General Earth Duke?”
Zhou Cang nodded vigorously.
Pei Yuan Shao replied," Ever since General Di Gong died in battle, Brother Zhou Cang and I have been active in the forest between Runan and Yingchuan. Although we always wanted to avenge General Tian Gong, our strength was weak. It was only when we heard that the Qu Marshal was wise and mighty. He first killed Zhu Xiong and then defeated Sun Jian that we brought more than 2,000 men from our headquarters to seek refuge.”
Pei Yuan Shao knew how to talk and did not forget to flatter Zhou Cheng.
"That's true." Zhou Cheng chuckled and said," Alright, bring your men into the camp. I'll send someone to prepare food for you later. When the war starts again in the future, I'll need the two of you to do your best."”
"Xie Qu Shuai, I'm willing to die for you.”
Pei Yuan Shao hurriedly replied.
Zhou Cang still nodded his head foolishly.
"Let's go down first."
Zhou Cheng waved his hand and Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao left first.
……
Not only Pei Yuan Shao, but also Zhou Cang.
Ever since Zhou Cheng defeated Sun Jian, the Yellow Turban soldiers hiding in the mountains and forests of Yingchuan and Wancheng seemed to have found an organization and came to join them.
In just a few days, Zhou Cheng had taken in more than 10,000 strong men and nearly 30,000 old, weak, women and children.
It was autumn and winter now, and it was getting harder and harder to find food in the wild.
Following Zhou Cheng, they didn't ask to be full, but only to eat some food every day. These people were satisfied.
As for revenge for Zhang Jiao? And raise the banner of 'the heavens are dead, the yellow heavens shall rise'?
Everything would wait until autumn and winter passed, and he would not starve to death.
However, as the number of people increased, the speed at which the rations in Zhou Cheng's camp were being consumed also increased.
The seventeen counties in Yingchuan County were now barren, and it was already autumn and winter. Even if they wanted to replant some wheat, it was impossible to solve the problem immediately. Moreover, the imperial court would not allow Zhou Cheng to occupy Yingchuan.
Once the war started again, he would not have time to care about the wheat planted.
In the evening, Zhou Chenggang called Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao to accompany him in his martial arts practice.
Zhou Cang did not refuse. He also wanted to test Zhou Cheng's ability and see if it was really as the rumors said.
Zhou Cang's arms had the strength of a thousand pounds. He was indeed strong. In the past, under Zhang Bao, he was indeed a fierce general.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Zhou Cang's weapon was also an iron spear.
The two spears moved back and forth. Both of them were people with great strength.
However, Zhou Cheng's strength was even more terrifying, and his speed was even faster.
After only three rounds, Zhou Cang's hand that was holding the iron spear went numb and he felt a sharp pain between his thumb and forefinger.
After another two rounds, Zhou Cheng first struck Zhou Cang's face with his spear, forcing him to kneel on one knee. He gritted his teeth and barely managed to hold on. Then, he withdrew his spear and kicked Zhou Cang in the chest, causing him to fall to the ground.
Zhou Cang fell to the ground and coughed violently a few times before catching his breath.
"Commander is so brave, Pei Yuan Shao is impressed!”
At this moment, Pei Yuan Shao's reaction was quick and he immediately knelt down to praise.
Zhou Cang also knelt on the ground. He was truly convinced.
He was confident that his strength was above others, but he did not expect Zhou Cheng's strength to be far above his.
"Get up."
Zhou Cheng was still a little disappointed. Although Zhou Cang was fierce, his martial arts skills were average. It seemed like he had found the wrong person to spar with Zhou Cang.
At this moment, a soldier rushed in and said to Zhou Cheng,""Marshal, He Yi's subordinate He Man is outside the camp with ten thousand troops and is clamoring to see you.”
