Chapter 30-Battle of Youzhou, Ji City Surrounded! (New Book 2/7)
When Zhang Jiao had just raised his flag to rebel, the Yellow Turban Army in other areas were still gathering, except for the large group of organized Yellow Turban soldiers in Jizhou.
If there were powerful troops in the area, they could attack everywhere and defeat the Yellow Turban Army that had not yet gathered.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were no powerful troops in the local area, so there was no way to start all this.
Ji County was Youzhou's prefectural capital, so the Yellow Turban Army's first target was naturally here.
Although Deng Mao was dead, Cheng Zhiyuan was still alive.
After recruiting a group of subordinates, Cheng Zhiyuan led hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers toward Ji County, the administrative seat of Youzhou.
Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou at the time, and Liu Wei, the prefect, were shocked when they heard that hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers were heading toward Ji County.
In the governor's manor of Ji County, Guo Xun was currently walking in the hall to answer the question.
Governor Liu Wei was also sitting at the side with a worried expression.
Now, there were less than a thousand soldiers in Ji County. How could they fight against hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers?
Moreover, the two of them only knew about greed and never knew about military affairs or war.
Now that hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers had invaded, the two of them were numb.
"Provincial Governor, you can't solve the problem by walking back and forth like this. Right now, you have to think of a way to solve the problem!”
Liu Wei looked at Guo Xun with a bitter face.
"Ways?" Guo Xun felt a headache coming on." What can I do? The imperial court's army won't be here anytime soon."”
"Even if they came, they would first have to exterminate the bandits in Jizhou. I've already sent out several urgent letters for help from 800 miles away, but this distant water can't quench the immediate thirst!”
Guo Xun stomped his feet anxiously.
"Then, then, do we have to wait until the city falls and die?”
Liu Wei felt aggrieved when he thought about how he had yet to spend the money he had collected and how he had not enjoyed any good fortune in Luoyang.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come to Youzhou Province.
Now, who could care about their lives?
The Yellow Turban army was powerful, and the towns along the way fled at the sight of them.
And how could Ji County, with less than a thousand old and weak soldiers, hold on?
"Hey, I just remembered something."
Guo Xun said as he walked towards his desk.
After rummaging through it, he finally found a document.
This was a letter from Chen Xin, the county magistrate of Zhuo County.
Chen Xin was a member of the Chen clan of Yingchuan, and it was because of this that Guo Xun paid a little attention to him.
Otherwise, how could a county magistrate's document enter his eyes?
After opening the document, the contents of Chen Xin's document appeared again.
Guo Xun's eyes lit up.
"Look at this."
Guo Xun handed the document to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei frowned and took a look.
In the letter, Chen Xin mentioned that bandits had been rampant recently and wanted to organize a county soldier to eliminate the bandits. He hoped to organize a county soldier of about a thousand people.
Originally, Guo Xun would definitely not agree to such a thing.
This was because he was obviously asking for money.
How could Guo Xun allow someone else to take money from his money bag, so he decided to refuse.
However, Chen Xin did not mention anything about money in the document.
Guo Xun also saw that Chen Xin was from a noble family in Yingchuan, so he did not think too much about it and nodded in agreement.
It had been more than a month since the incident.
Liu Wei also widened his eyes in surprise."Does the Provincial Governor mean that Chen Xin currently has a thousand soldiers?”
Guo Xun nodded.
"That's great!"
Liu Wei happily slammed the table and stood up." Then I will order Chen Xin to lead the county soldiers to Ji County to provide support. Oh right, I also heard that the chief historian of Shu Country in Liaodong is also a brave general. He has a team of cavalry that is very brave. Why don't we transfer him over?”
"Are you talking about the son-in-law of the Zhuo County Mayor, Gongsun Bogui?”Guo Xun asked.
Liu Wei nodded." That's him. I heard that he's very brave!"”
"Good, good, good. Immediately send a letter to Chen Xin of Zhuo County to lead the soldiers of the previous county to support him. Also, immediately send Gongsun Zan to Ji County. We will also mobilize the citizens of the city to participate in the defense of the city!”
It was as if he had grabbed onto the last life-saving straw. Guo Xun did not dare to delay and immediately sent someone to do it.
Ji County and Zhuo County were only separated by a single place, so it was very fast to go back and forth.
Not long after, Guo Xun's letter was delivered to Chen Xin.
In Zhuo County, Chen Xin put on a newly forged armor.
Similarly, Chen Peng, who was wearing silver armor and a white cloak, was also in the room.
"Yunqing, your guess is correct. At this moment, Guo Xun and Governor Liu Wei have sent a letter asking for help.”
Chen Xin handed the letter to Chen Peng.
Chen Peng lowered his head to take a look, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Father, if we don't reinforce them, Ji County will fall within ten days!”Chen Peng looked at Chen Xin and said.
"Then in your opinion, should we help or not?”Chen Xin asked.
"We definitely need to help, but we don't need to help Guo Xun or Liu Wei!”
"These two people only know how to be greedy and ignore the people's livelihood. They deserve to die! But the people of Ji County are innocent, and we need a victory!”Chen Peng said with narrowed eyes.
"Alright, we'll do as you say!" Chen Xin nodded.
Guo Xun and Liu Wei were going to die for sure. If they didn't die, how could he perform the skill in Youzhou Province?
Chen Peng made up his mind.
