"Ding ~! Completion of option 1. Reward: 10,000 arrows, stored in storage.”
Liu Cheng retracted the modified Xuanyuan Sword, feeling a little shocked.
The speed of his sword attack just now was extremely fast, and he didn't feel unfamiliar at all. Yu Dayou's swordsmanship was indeed well-deserved.
Liu Cheng looked at Gao Zhi and said with a smile,"A real man is born with an eight-foot body and should naturally fight on the battlefield. A mere county government, a mere dog official, how can they stop us from conquering the world? Although they had already defeated Deng Mao and the 5,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, they were still in the midst of fighting. However, this was only the beginning. Cheng Yuanzhi was the right-hand man of the rebel Zhang Jiao and had tens of thousands of soldiers. With Cheng Yuanzhi's temper, he definitely wouldn't put my Zhuo County in his eyes. Now that Deng Mao had been completely annihilated, it wouldn't be long before he led his army here. We are about to face a real test. If we can't solve it, Zhuo County will be in danger. If you are still afraid of the death of the county magistrate, then you can leave. I guarantee that I will take full responsibility for the county magistrate.”
Liu Cheng paused and continued,"If you also want to kill the bandits and are willing to kill the enemies with me, come to the Zhang Manor to find me."”
After saying that, Liu Cheng left the county office with Guan Zhang.
The remaining valiant archers surrounded the county government…
"Big Brother, I'm going to sell my assets now and recruit soldiers. We'll definitely kill every single one of those Yellow Turban bandits.”
Zhang Fei seemed a little excited, perhaps because he thought of the great battle with the Yellow Turban Army soon.
Liu Cheng looked at Zhang Fei and said with a smile,"Sell your assets now, but keep the money for now. As for recruiting soldiers, he didn't need to spend money.”
Liu Cheng then looked at Guan Yu,""Chief Yun, go and gather the people now. Tell them to gather at Caishikou. Then, he ordered the soldiers to hang the county magistrate's corpse and place it at the entrance of the market as a public display!”
......
Two hours later, at Caishikou.
Almost all the commoners were gathered here. Looking at the hanging corpse of the county magistrate, some people secretly cheered, while others retreated timidly.
"Villagers, don't be afraid. I believe everyone knows this person. He is the county magistrate of our Zhuo County. Now that the Yellow Turban Army is rebelling and the world is in a state of misery, it is naturally difficult for Zhuo County to stay out of it. The Yellow Turban Army had finally attacked. As the county magistrate of Zhuo County, this person did not think about how to resist or how to take care of the lives of the people. He only wanted to escape. "After I led my brothers to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in a life-and-death battle, this person returned to Zhuo County. Not only did he want to take away my military power, but he also wanted to behead me for a groundless crime. My fellow villagers, I only want to ask one question. Should this person be killed?”
After Liu Cheng finished speaking, the commoners looked at each other.
"He deserves to be killed!"
Finally, under the leadership of a commoner, everyone began to agree.
Liu Cheng nodded and said," Alright. Since the villagers think that they should be killed, I will bear the responsibility if the authorities pursue the matter." Villagers, I gathered everyone here today not just for this dog official. More importantly, I want to tell everyone that although we have already defeated the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army, we have already defeated them. But this was only the beginning. There was an even larger Yellow Turban Army coming. They were numerous and cruel. If Zhuo County fell, no one would be spared. Zhuo County would be massacred and become a city without people.”
Liu Cheng let out a long breath. He looked a little disappointed, but slowly became determined.
"My fellow villagers, although I, Liu Cheng, have the intention to kill the bandits, I am powerless against a force that is tens of times stronger than mine. However, the villagers don't have to worry. If I can exchange my life for the villagers 'survival, I, Liu Cheng, won't regret my death! I, together with my 1,000 valiant archers, am willing to use my life to buy as much time as possible for the villagers to evacuate Zhuo County. Even if I die, I will bite that Yellow Turban thief!”
"I'm willing to use my life as a wall to stop the Yellow Turban bandits!”
Following Liu Cheng's words, all the soldiers shouted the slogan together.
The momentum was like a rainbow, and the scene looked very infectious.
"General Liu!"
Hearing the words of a commoner, Liu Cheng waved his hand and said,""Fellow villager, if you have any requests, just say it.”
"General Liu, we're very grateful that you're willing to fight against the rebels for us. However, even if you can buy us time, what can we do? Leaving Zhuo County, leaving his own home? And become a refugee? Now that the world is in chaos and war is everywhere, where can we go? General Liu, you can defeat five thousand Yellow Turban rebels with one thousand soldiers. I believe that if you have more troops, you will definitely be able to defeat more Yellow Turban soldiers. This is my home, our home. We are not going anywhere. We have to protect Zhuo County with General Liu, protect our home!”
"Yes! We must protect our home together with General Liu! We are willing to join General Liu!"
With the commoners taking the lead, many hot-blooded young men shouted to join Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng nodded his head in relief. Then, he turned to Guan Yu and said,""Pick the strong ones and take in two thousand people.”
"Oh, right. The 'commoner' who took the lead just now acted well. He was rewarded with ten taels of silver.”
