March 23rd was a good day with mild weather.
But to the people of Zhuo County, it was terrible. This was because a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers had entered the country early in the morning.
There were a total of 26 beacon towers in Zhuo County, and at least 20 of them were lit up at the same time.
The people who received the warning quickly put down their farm work and went to take refuge according to the established route.
Ji Xiaolan and Heshen had already publicized the viciousness of the Yellow Turban Army quite well. When the common people heard that the Yellow Turban Army was coming, they did not dare to take any chances and resolutely carried out the evacuation policy formulated by Xiao Yi.
By the time the Yellow Turban army entered the country, there was not a single civilian in sight.
"Damn it, I've searched a few villages, but there's not a single commoner. I want to catch someone to cook, but I can't even catch one.”
In the Yellow Turban army, Cheng Yuanzhi cursed and swore along the way. In his anger, he burned several villages in succession.
The other canal marshal, Zhang Niujiao, advised," Marshal Cheng, why are you so angry? Everyone in Zhuo County hates our Yellow Turban Revolutionary Army. If we really asked them to cook, I wouldn't dare to eat."
We're all farmers, so it's not difficult for us to cook.”
"Feiyan, pass down the order to rest here. A portion of people will be assigned to cook, and the others will be on guard! When we're full, we'll have the strength to attack the city!”
Behind Zhang Niujiao, a young general received the order and left.
Cheng Yuanzhi frowned." Zhang Shuai, we're almost at Zhuo County. Why are you cooking now? Aren't you afraid of being stolen here?”
Making a fire to cook under their noses, wasn't that too arrogant? This was a blatant provocation.
"Stealing camp? I want them to steal our camp!”
Zhang Niujiao looked in the direction of the city. The corner of his mouth curled up into a cold smile, as if he had planned this beforehand.
On the city wall,
"Reporting, my lord, the rebel army has started a fire fifteen miles away, and their defenses are lax!”
The scout panted as he ran up the city wall. His eyes were filled with excitement.
Obviously, he thought that this was the best time to attack. He was going to make a contribution.
"Oh?"
However, when Xiao Yi and the others heard this, they instantly smelled the scent of a conspiracy.
After nearly two months of fighting, the Yellow Turban Army's generals had improved a lot. Coupled with the addition of some capable people, they had already become a force that could not be underestimated!
If it was during the uprising, Xiao Yi would have sent troops without hesitation.
But now, no matter how he looked at it, it was a trap.
Only the Yellow Turban Army could set up such a crude trap.
"Lord, I will bring a thousand brothers to bring Cheng Yuanzhi's dog head over!”
At this moment, Zhang Fei was still very reckless. He had the same thoughts as the scout and immediately could not sit still.
"Third brother, this is a trap.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was lectured by Guan Yu!
"Let them be. We just need to guard the city.”
Xiao Yi waved his hand, indicating that he was not interested in staying here. Because the Yellow Turban Army would definitely not attack the city within a few hours.
Seeing Xiao Yi leave just like that, Zhang Fei was a little anxious." But what if the Yellow Turban bandits see that our city walls are tall and sturdy and only surround us without attacking?
Wouldn't the prestige that our Zhuo County has painstakingly accumulated be burned to the ground?”
Xiao Yi didn't turn back and continued to walk forward.
Because he knew that someone would explain it to Zhang Fei.
"General Zhang, don't be impatient. The Yellow Turban Army will definitely give you a chance to make a contribution.”
Liu Ji comforted.
"Why are you so sure?"
Zhang Fei still didn't believe it. He felt that attacking was the best defense!
Liu Ji smiled." The bandits have brought a large number of people here, so they must be short of food and fodder. They can't afford to waste them. And the lord had long had the foresight to prepare enough food, so he was not afraid of them besieging the city.
I am certain that they will come to attack tonight!”
"I see."
Zhang Feixin was convinced.
Outside the city.
After all the Yellow Turban soldiers had finished eating, the Han army had not come to steal the camp. Zhang Niujiao had worked for nothing. He had set up a stage and could not perform, which made him extremely angry.
"This Xiao Yi brat is too disrespectful!”
"Cheng Shuai, we will attack the city together tonight. We will not let Xiao 'er see the sun tomorrow!”
