Two flowers bloomed, and one branch stood alone.
It had been several days since Taishi Ci left the city.
At this moment, tens of thousands of people surrounded Duchang City in Beihai County.
The Yellow Turban soldiers, who were like ants and locusts, swarmed toward the Duchang Wall from all directions.
As they charged, these people were foaming at the mouth and still shouting fearlessly,"Hand over the rations! Hand over the food!"
In the eyes of these people, who looked ragged and emaciated, there was no pain and grief of being oppressed. Instead, there was a kind of numbness and madness that lurked beneath them.
They had families with them. In order to survive and for their families, when they reached their limits, they would do anything.
Even if they did not have decent weapons and armor, and did not have reasonable command and dispatch, they could only charge, roar, and roar like beasts.
Broadswords, wooden spears, rocks…and anything that was hard and could be moved could be their weapons.
War could really change everything.
These Yellow Turban soldiers were once honest farmers.
But now, they had been forced to become soldiers who killed without batting an eye.
The once honest, kind, and simple person had long been ravaged by the wind and the lack of food.
There were only a few descriptions of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the history books, but most of them were focused on the heroes of the chaotic world.
Whether it was in the modern era or in the past, people only paid attention to heroes who had made contributions.
Who would be overly concerned about the demise and rise and fall of these lowly individuals?
Rise, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer.
It was not just a simple talk.
On the other side, the Yellow Turbans came menacingly, as if they were vowing to take down Duchang in one fell swoop.
However, although Kong Rong did not understand military affairs, he had always been very generous to the soldiers.
The soldiers of the county were grateful for his kindness and desperately defended the city. Guan Hai led his men to attack for several days without success.
After several days of not being able to take it down, Guan Hai became impatient and even took the initiative to take action. He said slowly to the North Sea,"I know that the Northern Sea has a lot of grain. Otherwise, if the city was destroyed, the old and the young would not be spared!”
How could Kong Rong be willing to be threatened like this?
One had to know that he was the 20th generation grandson of Confucius.
At the age of four, he was famous for Kong Rong's act of giving up pears.
" Filial piety and excellence lead to an official position." After growing up, Kong Rong naturally became an official.
When He Jin was in power, Kong Rong successively served as Shi Yu Shi, Sikong Gui, Huben Zhonglang General.
Perhaps it was because life was too smooth, Kong Rong was not afraid of dignitaries and liked to speak out. When Dong Zhuo was arbitrarily deposed, he could always correct him.”He would mock Dong Zhuo from time to time.
Dong Zhuo hated Kong Rong to the core, but he was worried that Kong Rong was too famous, so he could only demote him to a counselor.
Coinciding with the Yellow Turban invasion of several states, and the North Sea was the most dangerous, Zhuo let the three houses (Taiwei, Situ, Sikong) jointly elect Rong as the North Sea Minister.
Dong Zhuo had sent Kong Rong here as an official.
However, Kong Rong didn't realize that Dong Zhuo was using a borrowed knife to kill. Instead, he was preparing to teach the rebels a lesson by recruiting the people and raising an army.
This time, Kong Rong also raised his voice and rebelled against the siege of Guanhai.
Of course, the effect was not good because he did not know how to fight at all.
At that time, when the enemy's encirclement wasn't too tight, Taishi Ci took advantage of the night to rush into the encirclement to see Kong Rong. He even volunteered to let Kong Rong send troops to attack the enemy.
Unfortunately, Kong Rong didn't listen to him and only waited for external help.
However, outside reinforcements have not yet arrived, and the enemy's siege is approaching day by day.
Thus, Taishi Ci broke out of the encirclement.
Now, in the face of the Yellow Turban's fierce attack, Kong Rong gritted his teeth and stood on the city wall. He shouted angrily,""I'm a subject of the Great Han Dynasty. How can there be food and thieves guarding the land of the Great Han Dynasty?”
Guan Hai flew into a rage and charged straight at Kong Rong. Kong Rong's subordinate Zong Bao raised his spear and charged out.
In the end, after a few exchanges, Guan Hai's blade slashed his right arm and he hurriedly rode his horse to escape.
Kong Rong's army was instantly thrown into chaos as they ran into the city.
Guan Hai continued to divide his forces to surround the city, making Kong Rong feel depressed.
At this moment, Kong Rong felt that reciting poems and writing poems was completely useless.
At this time, it was useless to talk about being gentle, kind, respectful, thrifty and giving in.
One had to know that they were the ones who had prepared in advance and could take the initiative.
In the end, a general against a general, a soldier against a soldier, had led to the current situation.
If they lost the battle, their morale would be low. What should they do?
He could only place his hopes on Taishi Ci, who had fought his way out of the encirclement and gone to the plains to seek help.
Kong Rong prayed silently.
He had long heard that Taishi Ci's martial arts skills were outstanding and that he had an old mother at home, so he often sent people to take care of him. This time, it really depended on his abilities.
As for Kong Rong's request for help from Liu Bei, it was not because Liu Bei's faith was known throughout the world, nor was it because they were of the same mind.
Instead, it was like putting out a fire. Kong Rong's first consideration was to find someone nearby to help.
Of the two of them, one was the Minister of the North Sea, and the other was the Minister of the Plains. No matter how untimely Kong Rong was, he knew the meaning of 'physiognomy', and understood that distant water could not put out a nearby fire.
Of course, it was impolite not to reciprocate. If Liu Bei really came to save him, he would naturally not be stingy with some good words.
