Chapter 12 Brothers, let's change the meal today

As night fell, Jiangdu County Magistrate Li Gang hurried towards Dongwang Village with a thousand soldiers.

"Shut up!"

As soon as he stopped his horse, Li Gang questioned the old village chief Wang Sen who was waiting for him at the village entrance.

"Have you ever seen any traces of the Yellow Turban Army?"

at this time.

Ye Chen and his Yellow Turban Army had already set up camp in a hidden place in the village.

The old village chief was not panicked at all.

Facing the county magistrate's questioning, he smiled humbly.

"Reporting to the county lord, we have not seen the Yellow Turban Army!"

At this time, the villagers of Dongwang Village had already become die-hard fans of the Yellow Turban Army.

It was naturally impossible for County Magistrate Li Gang to find out anything.

"Bullshit!"

Li Gang saw that the old village chief was cunning and sly, so he shouted at him harshly.

"This county has clearly received the news."

"The Yellow Turban Army is hiding in your Dongwang Village!"

"Someone is coming!"

"Go into the village and search it."

Hear the words.

Several elders in Dongwang Village suddenly became panicked.

They never expected it.

The Jiangdu County Magistrate actually knew that they were hiding the Yellow Turban Army.

Who leaked this information?

Didn’t the Yellow Turban Army just launch a campaign to eliminate traitors in Dongwang Village?

How come the news still leaked?

When the old village chief heard the county magistrate's words, his heart skipped a beat.

How could he not know whether there were Yellow Turban Army in the village?

The old village chief was nervous but his face remained calm.

He quickly explained to the Jiangdu County Magistrate.

"Sir, there really are no Yellow Turbans in our village!"

"Don't you think about it? If there really were Yellow Turbans, how could we still be standing here talking to you?"

"He was killed by the Yellow Turban Army a long time ago!"

"Humph!"

"What nonsense!"

County Magistrate Li Gang looked coldly at the old village chief.

"If you say there is no, then there is no. How can this county know whether what you said is true or false?"

"Don't talk nonsense. We will know the answer after searching the county."

The old village chief rolled his eyes.

I immediately understood why the county magistrate insisted on searching.

"hey-hey!"

"Sir, I understand your rules!"

"Don't worry, we in Dongwang Village have been prepared for this!"

After saying that, the old village chief Wang Sen turned his head and whispered to the elders around him.

It didn't take long.

Then I saw the young and strong men in the village pushing out dozens of wheelbarrows.

The wheelbarrow was piled high with sacks of grain.

"grown ups!"

"This is the military rations presented to you by Dongwang Village!"

"Your Excellency will use it to wipe out the Yellow Turban rebels!"

Look at these grains.

County Magistrate Li Gang smiled, stroked his beard and nodded.

"Not bad!"

"The old village chief is loyal to his country. This county will definitely submit a memorial to the imperial court to commend the old village chief!"

The world today.

How can you tell whether they are government soldiers or bandits?

Officers and soldiers are thieves, thieves are still thieves.

It is really difficult for ordinary people to survive in troubled times.

Wang Sen looked at Li Gang's smiling face.

I had already cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations in my heart.

These dog officials are comparable to the Yellow Turban Army.

It's like heaven and earth!

Anyway, we have corn porridge and white flour buns to eat every day.

The food that had been accumulated before was used to feed the dogs.

"By the way, sir, someone from our village went hunting in the mountains!"

"He seems to have seen traces of the Yellow Turban Army."

"It seems that the Yellow Turban Army has headed to Linxian and Xinyang County."

Hear what the village chief said.

County Magistrate Li Gang secretly thought that he was in trouble.

I worked hard for half a day to set up the bureau.

In the end, the fruit will be reaped by the magistrate of Xinyang County.

He is at a loss.

Li Gang ordered his soldiers to collect the donated food and didn't bother to say anything else.

He immediately led his soldiers and chased in the direction of Xinyang County.

------

the other side.

After the old village chief tricked the Jiangdu County magistrate away.

Ye Chen was naturally very grateful.

It seems that the campaign to eliminate traitors he had launched earlier was very timely and necessary.

Otherwise, when Li Gang chased to Dongwang Village, one or two people would come to tip off.

A fierce battle is probably inevitable.

at this time.

Cheng Yu walked in slowly from outside.

"It's almost night now. What are you doing here for, Mr. Zhongde?" Ye Chen asked politely in response to Cheng Yu's sudden arrival.

Although I traveled through time to the chaotic Three Kingdoms period.

But Ye Chen was very clear-headed.

He is not in a high position of power, nor is he a descendant of three officials from four generations of aristocratic families, nor is he related to any aristocratic family.

There is even a very humble identity.

The Yellow Turban rebels.

Everyone wanted to chop off his head to gain fame and merit.

He doesn't have any so-called kingly and domineering aura.

As soon as they meet, they can make the other person bow down to them without saying a word.

now.

Ye Chen really needs Cheng Yu's help.

He also wanted to recruit Cheng Yu to serve him.

But he knew that things would not be easy.

after all.

Let a famous scholar become a rebel.

No one would be happy about it.

"Master Qu, I want to ask you, how are you going to deal with me?"

Cheng Yu bowed and asked Ye Chen sincerely.

Ever since Ye Chen tied me up.

They provide delicious food and drink every day.

Neither kill nor let go.

This made Cheng Yu lose his temper.

of course.

It was naturally impossible to ask him to surrender to the Yellow Turban Army.

"You might as well tell it to the gentleman directly."

Ye Chen groaned for a moment and then continued.

"I know you are a talented person, and I really want to make use of you."

"But I know better. I am happy to reuse you, sir."

"But the master is not willing to be used by me."

"I wonder if you believe in fate?"

Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"What do you mean, Commander Qu?"

"Ha ha!"

Ye Chen smiled lightly, "It's not a solution to drag it on like this."

"I want to make a bet with you, sir!"

"If I can capture Jiangdu County within ten days, you will serve me as your lord and be at my service."

"If not!"

"After ten days, I will let you go without making things difficult for you!"

"how?"

Cheng Yu's thoughts were racing.

He knew it from the beginning.

This young leader of the Yellow Turban Army had big ambitions.

But I never expected it.

Ye Chenxin is so wild.

In his opinion.

Relying on Ye Chen's equipment and men.

It is absolutely impossible to capture Jiangdu County in ten days.

now.

The garrison force in Jiangdu County is close to 4,000.

The Yellow Turban Army consisted of no more than a thousand men.

Or the one attacking the city.

A siege cannot be successful unless the defenders have ten times more troops than they do now.

Unless the Yellow Turban Army can mobilize 40,000 troops and prepare siege equipment.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to capture Jiangdu County.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Cheng Yu feels that he is sure to win.

"it is good!"

A long-lost smile finally appeared on Cheng Yu's face.

"A gentleman's word!"

"Hurry up and whip your horse!"

Ye Chen replied with a smile.

------

The moon rabbit falls quietly, and the golden crow rises.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

The next morning.

In the temporary military camp in Dongwang Village.

"Brothers, dinner will be served soon. I want to eat more white flour buns this time. This stuff is so delicious. I can never get enough of it!"

at this time.

The Yellow Turban officers and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time were rubbing their hands in anticipation.

"It's time to eat!"

After a while, everyone heard the familiar voice of the fireman.

Then they saw Ye Chen and a group of firemen, pushing a wheelbarrow, walking towards them.

"what!"

"That's not right. There seems to be a little more big vats today!"

See this scene.

Cheng Yu, who was also waiting for his meal, raised his brows involuntarily.

"Everyone!"

"I eat corn porridge, white flour buns, and pickled mustard tubers every day."

"I guess you guys are tired of eating it!"

"Let's change our food today!"

When the Yellow Turban soldiers who were queuing for food heard Ye Chen say that he wanted to change the food, they suddenly panicked.
