It was noon.
Lin Nan was tending to the flowers and plants in the county government hall. Wen Rongtai returned to the county government with a group of people behind him. Everyone was holding something in their hands.
There were also several cars filled with things.
Behind him were the leaders of the big families in the city.
When Wen Rongtai and the others saw Lin Nan, they cupped their hands and bowed.
"Congratulations, Lord Lin, for being promoted to Wuyang County Magistrate. It is our honor to have a father and mother like you in Wuyang.”
"Congratulations, sir."
"Congratulations, sir."
"Congratulations, sir."
"Congratulations, sir."
"Congratulations, sir."
...
"Brother Rong Tai, what is this?" Wen Rongtai looked at the crowd and was stunned for a moment. He did not know what was going on.
"Sir, the county's squires and commoners heard that you were promoted to our county's county captain and came to congratulate you.”
"Oh my god."
"Everyone's life isn't easy. How can we do this?”
"Lord Wen, this is a small token of appreciation from the villagers. Please accept it as an additional meal for the brothers guarding the city.”
"Alright, then I thank everyone on behalf of my brothers!”
"Come, come, come, Brother Yuanzhi, let us brothers help you accept everyone's kindness.”
After Lin Nan heard this, he hurriedly bowed in return and arranged the matters. Then, he set up a banquet in a restaurant in the city to thank the squires.
When he returned to the manor, the light gradually faded and Xu Shu came to the study.
"Have you arranged the gifts from the squires and the people?”
"Milord, the squires and commoners in the city have given us 300 catties of vegetables and fruits, 500 stones of rice, 500 taels of gold and silver, 500 catties of iron, and hundreds of taels of salt.”
"Other than vegetables, fruits, and other items that are not easy to store, the rest have been recorded and are waiting for your arrangement.”
Xu Shu held the account book and came to report to Lin Nan.
"Alright, record it as it is. All the loot today will be used as military supplies.”
"After that, besides the city soldiers 'use of vegetables, fruits, and rice, send some to the Yellow Turban prisoners of war. They have just arrived in Wuyang, so I don't think they have any surplus food. He also told them that if they worked hard in Wuyang and trained their troops, they would have a peaceful life. If anyone caused trouble, they would be severely punished.”
Lin Nan took the account book and casually flipped through it. When he saw any big problems, he instructed Chen Dao to handle them.
"Yes, sir!"
Xu Shu respectfully took the account book with both hands, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
He had followed the right person!
At this moment.
Dong, dong, dong. A series of drums sounded.
"Yuanfu, quickly go and take a look!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Who are you?"
"Where is the Wuyang County Magistrate? I'm the adjutant of General Huangfu of the Han Dynasty. The Huangfu army fought against the Yellow Turban army outside Changshe City and was trapped there. I'm here to ask for soldiers!!”
Yuan Fu followed Rong Tai's orders and rushed outside the manor. He saw a man and a horse standing outside the manor.
The man was wearing a Han army uniform, his face and body covered in blood. He rushed forward to ask.
"Who are you? What do you mean?"
"Where is the Wuyang County Magistrate? I'm Zhang San, the adjutant under General Huangfu of the Great Han Dynasty. The Huangfu army fought against the Yellow Turban army outside Changshe City and was trapped there. I'm here to ask for reinforcements!!”
"Adjutant Zhang, please wait in the hall for a moment. Our county is temporarily replaced by the county magistrate.”
Yuan Fu took the letter from that person. He was afraid that it would delay the military situation, so he hurriedly led him into the residence to see Lin Nan.
"My lord, this is General Huangfu's adjutant Zhang. The Huangfu army has been captured by Changshe City and has come to ask for help. This is General Huangfu's handwritten letter.”
Lin Nan quickly walked forward and took the letter from Yuan Fu's hand. After opening it, there were only a few numbers and a red seal in the letter.
"Our army is besieged in Changshe City, and our rations will be cut off in five days. Huangfu Song Seal "
Lin Nan saw that there was a large seal on the right foot of the letter. It was written with the words "Huangfu Song Seal". He confirmed that it was an envoy from the Huangfu Army and urgently inquired about the military situation.
"Brother Yuanfu, quickly serve the tea."
"Adjutant Zhang, please take a seat and rest. Please tell me the military situation. I will know how to plan the rescue.”
Adjutant Zhang took the tea and drank it in one gulp. He then reported the matter of Huangfu Jun and the Yellow Turban Army to Lin Nan.
It turned out that General Bocai, one of the thirty-six commanders of the Yellow Turban Army, had led a hundred thousand Yellow Turban soldiers from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, taking Chenliu County, Nanyang County, and other places along the way.
The Han court appointed Huangfu Song as the Left Zhonglang General and Zhu Jun as the Right Zhonglang General. They led a total of 40,000 knights from the North Army's five schools and three rivers to destroy the Yellow Turban Army in the Yingchuan area of Yuzhou.
In April, General Zhu Juan arrived at Yingchuan first and fought fiercely with the Yellow Turban Army's commander, Bo Cai, outside Changge City.
General Zhu Juan's troops were no match for Bocai's army and retreated after being defeated. Bocai's army took advantage of the situation to occupy Changge City and used it as a stronghold to attack everywhere.
At this time, General Huangfu was also leading 20,000 soldiers to fight fiercely with the Bocai Army outside the city. Unexpectedly, the Yellow Turban Army, which was full of morale, killed all the soldiers of the Huangfu Army along the way and surrounded General Huangfu in the city.
At this moment, there were only about ten thousand people left in the city, while the main force of the Bocai Army was fifty thousand people guarding the four sides of Changshe City. They wanted to surround and kill the Huangfu Army.
General Huangfu Song saw that there was insufficient food and grass in the army and in the city, so he quickly sent Adjutant Zhang out from the south gate of Changshe City with a letter for help. Adjutant Zhang led a hundred elite soldiers to fight with their lives and tear open a hole. Only then did Yingchuan ask for help.
"Although the Yellow Turban Army is full of morale and has more people than our army, they are not well-equipped and the new recruits lack training. How can they compete with the elite troops led by General Huangfu?”
