Chapter 7: The County Magistrate Who Became a Resentful Person

"Old Wang, how is your preparation of the laxative going?"

Ye Chen summoned his five captains to his room to discuss military strategy.

"Don't worry, Commander Qu, we are ready!"

"Let alone a thousand people, even if there are another thousand, the medicine is enough!"

Old Wang had a cunning smile on his face.

"Have you guys changed into your clothes?"

Ye Chen looked at Captain Lin and asked.

"It's all done!"

Captain Lin nodded in reply.

"it is good!"

Ye Chen nodded.

"Then let's do as we agreed beforehand!"

"When dinner is served in the evening, have the brothers change into the uniforms of officers and soldiers and deliver some corn porridge with laxatives and white flour buns to the Han army stationed at the foot of the mountain."

"When they start to pull, we will break through quickly."

"Keep an eye on Cheng Yu. Don't let him get away!"

"This time, we will play a trick on the imperial army and deceive the emperor!"

This is the solution Ye Chen came up with in the past two days.

He ordered his brothers to change into Han army clothes, and then go to reward the army in the name of Cheng Yu.

When the soldiers at the foot of the mountain ate the corn porridge with laxatives added and started to urinate.

That's when they broke through the encirclement.

This method would have been absolutely impossible to achieve in the past.

after all.

The Yellow Turban Army was almost starving to death.

Where can we get enough food to lure the imperial troops?

But now, Ye Chen has a system.

Plus the passive skill, violence return.

Every day, there are 100,000 servings of corn porridge, pickled mustard tubers, and white flour steamed buns.

A few days down.

His storage space has long been full.

Rather than wasting it, it is better to use it as bait.

Furthermore.

Being surrounded in this barren mountain was not a big deal for Ye Chen.

It is too slow to rely solely on the one thousand Yellow Turban Army to gain reputation.

Only by breaking out can you find a wider world.

Only in this way can the system be used to its maximum effect.

The key to solving all problems is.

He needs to have enough food.

As soon as he said this, Ye Chen felt that he had completely stood up.

Excuse me!
As long as we have more food, we are really not afraid of anyone!
It’s time to say it or not.

The treatment of Han officers and soldiers is actually just like that nowadays.

There is no money or salary at all.

At most, they provide meals.

It's kind of half dry and half liquid.

It's impossible to eat enough.

The best you can do is not starve to death.

When corn porridge, white flour buns, and pickled mustard tubers appeared, how could the imperial soldiers not be confused?

Who can resist eating it?

The most important thing is unlimited supply.

In Ye Chen's opinion, this desperate escape was completely stable.

Unless the magistrate of Jiangdu County can provide better food to these garrisoned officers and soldiers every day.

But, is this possible?
Even the emperor of the Han Dynasty couldn't afford Ye Chen's set of corn porridge, white flour steamed buns, and pickled mustard tubers.

------

three days later.

Jiangdu County Government Office.

"Damn it, it's been several days, why is there still no news from Cheng Yu?"

"This kid's plan won't fail!"

now.

Li Gang, the magistrate of Jiangdu County, was standing in the back court with his hands behind his back, anxiously turning around.

In order to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army, he put all his resources on the line.

He paid out of his own pocket and recruited two thousand local militiamen to join the garrison of Jiangdu County.

A total of three thousand troops were gathered.

He was also given an additional 300 cavalrymen.

If the mountains had not been blocked by heavy snow, it would have been difficult to fight.

He had already led his troops to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army.

"Sir, I don't think you need to worry."

"No news, that's good news."

"And Mr. Cheng has always been cautious in his work. He might have succeeded by now!"

"It is very likely that he has already led the surrendered Yellow Turban Army to Jiangdu."

The gentleman under Li Gang spoke to comfort him.

"Hey!"

"This matter cannot be rushed!"

"The position of Jiangyin governor is vacant now. If we can wipe out this Yellow Turban Army before the spring comes."

"Report the news to the court, and the position of Jiangyin governor will be mine."

"Otherwise, why would I spend so much money, food, and energy to wipe out this Yellow Turban Army?"

Li Gang's subordinates naturally understood what their boss wanted. But for this matter, they could only wait for news.

You can't just wave your hand and order the army to search the mountain!

What if we were ambushed by those Yellow Turban bandits hiding in the mountains?

Everything that has been done has been wasted.

Anyway, Li Gang has made preparations for both scenarios.

Firstly, it would be best if Cheng Yu could persuade the Yellow Turban Army to restore order.

Even if it doesn't work.

After the snow melts in spring, we will attack head-on.

Regardless of which plan is adopted, the prerequisite is to completely block the one thousand Yellow Turban Army in Camel Mountain.

suddenly.

The voice of a messenger was heard outside the county government office.

"Sir, there is news!"

County Magistrate Li Gang felt nervous when he heard this.

He hurriedly went to meet the messenger.

"Report quickly!"

"Sir, Li Junhou has urgent news!"

Li Gang was stunned.

He thought that Cheng Yu had succeeded in persuading them to surrender.

After all this time, it turned out that the news came from the general stationed in Camel Mountain.

"Sir, Li Junhou has an urgent report that the Yellow Turban Army on Camel Mountain has broken through!"

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing the news, Li Gang's face was filled with ecstasy.

If the Yellow Turban Army hid in the mountains, he really wouldn't be able to do anything to them.

To take the initiative to break out now is simply courting death.

after all.

Whether in terms of manpower, equipment, and other aspects, their side has an absolute advantage.

"What have our troops gained? Have we completely annihilated the enemy?"

Li Gang stroked his beard and smiled confidently.

"My lord, there is no gain!"

"??"

Hearing this, Li Gang was very confused.

No gains?

What does this mean? ?

Could it be that the people on our side were just going to watch the Yellow Turban Army leave?

"what happened?"

Li Gang's face darkened and he asked sternly.

"Sir, the Yellow Turbans are cunning!"

"They came here to reward the troops under the name of Mr. Cheng Yu."

"A laxative was put in the food."

"Even if our army wants to stop them, we are powerless because of the pain in our stomachs!"

"In this case, we can only watch the Yellow Turban Army break through!"

Hear the news.

Li Gang suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes and the world was spinning.

your sister!
I have already put the coffin on.

As a result, the Yellow Turban Army escaped so easily? ?

Wouldn't it be a waste of all my investment and hard work over the past few months?

"grown ups!"

"Not only that, when the Yellow Turban Army broke through."

"He also took away one hundred of our horses!"

Hear this.

Li Gang felt like vomiting blood.

I feel like I have become a big complainer.

His investment was helping the Yellow Turban Army.

"S-lord!"

"Someone saw that Mr. Cheng Yu also seemed to have surrendered to the Yellow Turban Army."

"puff!"

Hear the news.

Li Gang spat out a mouthful of blood.

He has always relied on Cheng Yu, and many of his confidential matters were handled by Cheng Yu.

Never imagined.

Cheng Yu, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also surrendered to the Yellow Turban Army.

"Sir, are you okay?"

The gentleman under Li Gang saw his boss vomiting blood.

Come up and help immediately.

Li Gang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

He gave the order to the messenger.

"Go and inform this county magistrate now!"

"Order the other two garrisons to gather together, and I will personally lead the troops to chase after this Yellow Turban Army."

"immediately!"

"If you delay the military operation, this county will execute you without mercy!"

Done.

Li Gang immediately gave orders again, ordering his servants to change clothes and prepare horses, ready to go to Camel Mountain to join the army.
