Two days later, Jiuyuan's Yellow Turban army had grown to 40,000 people like a snowball.
Most of them were civilians who had been coerced.
As mentioned earlier, in the Northern Lands, the number of Yellow Turban people who actively participated was far less than that of the other provinces and counties.
This was because the population here was small, and the Hu Tribe in the north plundered this place all year round. The hatred for the Hu Tribe was even deeper.
In addition, the annexation of land was not that serious.
Other than a few dregs, most of the Han people have always been the simplest and easiest to satisfy!
As long as they could live a decent life, they would not think of rebelling at all.
Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army had the weakest foundation for rebellion here.
Under such circumstances, they could only rely on gathering mountain bandits and bandits…Or something like that, and then coerce the common people to develop and grow.
Another day later, the Yellow Turban Army arrived outside Jiuyuan City, ready to attack the city at any time.
At this time, a hidden guard, Lin Wei, who had been lurking in this group of Yellow Turban soldiers for half a month and had relied on his own ability to get to the top, advised the Yellow Turban commander, Li Le, that he had sent dozens of his soldiers to lurk in the guard army of Jiuyuan City in advance.
"Really?"
Li Le was surprised.
How was this possible?
He knew that Lin Wei was usually very clever and was quite skilled in both personal strength and leading troops. However, he did not expect this fellow to give him such a big surprise.
"Absolutely!"
Lin Wei nodded with absolute certainty."It all started two years ago…In short, my brother-in-law joined the Jiuyuan County Guard Army and was in charge of the city guards. I relied on him to survive in Jiuyuan!”
Lin Wei's previous disguise was a group of bandits near Jiuyuan City. Li Le knew this very well, so he didn't doubt it at all. Instead, he believed it even more!
"Then, will your brother-in-law be willing to open the city gate and let us in?”
At the same time, Li Le also noticed a loophole. He stared at Lin Wei and said,"What we are doing is rebelling. Why would he give up his bright future to join us?”
Why didn't he believe it?
If Lin Wei could not give him a satisfactory explanation, then he would suspect that Lin Wei had ulterior motives!
In this day and age, to be able to become the leader of a rebellion, one had to have their own characteristics in order to survive and succeed.
Li Le was a cautious person.
What a pity!
This time, Lin Wei's claim that there was a spy who could help open the city gate was true.
Moreover, the secret guards had long set up an ambush in the Yellow Turban army here. They had originally wanted to use the Yellow Turban's power to kill the Wuyuan prefect, Wang Zhi, as well as some of the aristocrats and despots who were hostile to the Luo and Gu families.
This matter was just a passing one.
"Hey!"
"What's so good about it?" Lin Wei immediately said. Did the canal marshal really think that it was a good thing to be the city gate order so easily?”
"My brother-in-law has been doing very well in the county army these years. The merit points he has accumulated are enough to go one step further and become the second person under the county captain!”
"However, that Jiuyuan County Officer took all the credit and because of my brother-in-law's indiscretion, he was transferred to the city gate order!”
"I wake up early and stay up late every day, but I don't get much profit.”
"The county captain even asked my brother-in-law to pay a sufficient amount of city tax every day! The number was based on the standard of the month when Nine Plains City was at its peak!”
"Don't you think this is a deliberate attempt to kill him?”
When Li Le heard this, he really believed 80% of it. He nodded speechlessly,"It's indeed a little too much! It seems that your brother-in-law's life is not good either! Then why didn't he leave?"
It was better not to have such a position that would scam people, right?
"Hey!"
"Where can he escape to?" Lin Wei shook his head repeatedly. My brother-in-law's entire family is in the city! All of their ancestors 'industries were here! With the county captain staring, he couldn't run away!”
"If we go to other places, we won't be able to survive!”
"So, after he heard about my current situation, he decided to defect to you! They are even willing to help us open the city gates after we agree on the secret signal and help us take down Nine Plains City!”
"His requirements are not high. He just needs to be a military officer and leave the county captain's family for him to kill! What do you think, Chief?"
"Da da da da!"
Li Le listened and looked at Lin Wei silently. He tapped his fingers on the table in front of him and started thinking.
After a short while, he felt that there was no problem. Lin Wei had already rebelled with them. He should not betray them and had already agreed.
It would be best if they could take down the Tough City of Jiuyuan without attacking the city.
However, he was cautious by nature and did not make a decision immediately.
Instead, he asked Lin Wei to go down first and wait for him to think about it for a day.
After that, he sent someone to investigate Lin Wei and his brother-in-law.
Then, with the "enthusiastic help" of the secret guards, these scouts quickly confirmed that what Lin Wei said was correct.
Li Le immediately made up his mind and agreed to Lin Wei's plan.
Early the next morning, they began to attack the city tentatively as a disguise.
Then, in the second half of the night.
After communicating with Lin Wei's brother-in-law, they opened the city gates and the army charged into Nine Plains City.
