Chapter 146: Five Thousand People
In Guo Jia's plan, Zhao sledgehammer and gunpowder were used to scare away the defenders, take over the city, and transport food in one go.
By the time Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army got the news, Guo Jia had already gone away with food, and they naturally couldn't catch up.
It doesn't matter if you really want to catch up, Guo Jia still has Zhao Yun's 2,000 cavalry in his hands.
However, what he never expected was that Nangong County not only had 5,000 Yellow Turban troops, but also 5,000 tortured laborers.
At this time, Cai Yu suddenly stepped forward in a hurry.
"Guo Jia!"
The girl said with anxiety on her face: "The big thing is not good, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao defeated Dong Zhuo in Guangzong, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial court have been defeated." ”
What the?
Everyone was shocked.
The reason why the more than 100,000 main forces of the Yellow Turban Army shrank to Guangzong was because of the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial court.
Now that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have been defeated, and the Yellow Turban Army has no opponent, they will definitely turn their horses around and fight for the granary of Nangong with all their might.
Without further ado, they were to quickly retreat with food.
"Help, help, sir!"
These people also seemed to recognize Guo Jia's men and horses as officials and soldiers, and they fell to their knees one after another.
They have been tossed by the yellow turban thieves, and seeing the officials and soldiers is like seeing hope.
"Folks, please get up!"
Guo Jia hurriedly helped everyone up, and he was also a little troubled in his heart.
The army could not stay here for long, and in addition, a large amount of food had been hoarded in the city, and according to the proposal of the frustrated man, it should be burned down to cut off the back of the Yellow Turban Army. But Guo Jia felt that it was a pity. In the year of famine, this is something that can keep people alive, and it is better to be able to transport this grain back to Zhongshan, and it can also solve the food problem of the displaced people who continue to pour into Zhongshan.
Transporting grain back to Zhongshan is not a simple matter.
The Yellow Turban Army will naturally come crazy to grab the food if it loses it, Guo Jia still has too few troops this time, and he has to divide the troops to transport the grain. If you defend the city, you can still support it with crockpot bombs, but if you fight in the field, you will fall into passivity.
These thousands of inhuman-shaped laborers must not be taken care of.
Besides, with their physical condition, it is impossible to stand up in a few days of recuperation.
The best thing to do is to leave them a little food to keep here.
However, the Yellow Turban Thieves will soon be back, and most of these people will not be spared.
What to do?
Guo Jia once again felt that his head was as big as a fight.
"Help, sir!"
Everyone knelt down again, they seemed to have seen Guo Jia's embarrassment, lest Guo Jia leave them alone after winning the city, and they would still die in the hands of the Yellow Turban thieves in the end.
Ladies and gentlemen!
Guo Jia stood up.
But this time, he was allowed to pull, and none of the people got up.
Guo Jia's face was a little heavy.
He was not a virgin, but he was still a little unbearable to see such a tragic situation.
If these civilians are abandoned now, they will surely die in the frenzied revenge of the Yellow Turbans.
Will he be able to give up these innocent lives?
The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched for a while.
He always thought that he had become ruthless after experiencing life and death, so the Yellow Turban was in chaos and the people outside were dying, and he didn't have any sympathy.
But it was also out of sight and out of mind, and once he really saw this tragic situation with his own eyes, his heart was immediately shaken.
Guo Jia is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person after all, and his heart is still preserved in a conscience.
What is the difference between humans and animals.
That is, people have compassion.
"Come and guard the city and settle these people well."
Guo Jia said calmly.
promise
Xin Ping on the side hurriedly answered, and went down with his men to settle the people.
As a staff member of the Assassin's Mansion, he is also familiar with this kind of civil affairs matter.
"Lord!"
The frustrated teacher on the side suddenly said: "These people have not been able to get enough food for a long time, and their bodies have become extremely weak, and it is impossible to stand up without three or five days." This is the granary of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and once they know that we have taken it, they will definitely go crazy to take it. We have to plan ahead. What's more, the official army has been defeated, and the main force of the Yellow Turban Army will definitely come to attack Nangong. ”
Smart people don't need to say much, Guo Jia also understood what he meant.
He wanted to remind him to make a choice between food and people.
If you want food, you must leave the people and carry it away immediately.
If you want the people, then you must defend this Nangong County, and you have to face the anger of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army.
"Defend the city with all your troops!"
Guo Jia said without thinking.
Let him abandon these innocent people and lead the army to flee, he still can't bear it.
Alas!
He let out a long sigh, he had already thought of it from Guo Jia's expression just now.
This lord seems to have some womanly kindness.
However, a burst of warmth flashed in his heart.
Guo Jia does not abandon these people, he is naturally a benevolent lord, and he is not in vain to give his allegiance.
Frustration has already made up his mind.
Since Guo Jia wants to protect these people, he will do his best to assist Guo Jia.
Of course, not everyone has this kind of awareness.
"Guo Jia, you are stupid!"
Cai Yu hurriedly grabbed Guo Jia's arm and said anxiously: "The main force of the Yellow Turban Army is coming in an instant, you are still such a mother-in-law." Do you think that Zhao Dazhui's straw bag is really a god general? ”
She paused and said, "Even if you have your crockpot shells, this broken city wall can't stop the main force of the Yellow Turban Army." ”
This girl doesn't have the consciousness to save the common people.
Girl!
Guo Jia smiled faintly and said, "I have already decided, to defend Nangong County, even if it is for the sake of these innocent people." ”
Ha ha!
Cai Yu didn't get angry but laughed.
Since the day she met Guo Jia, she didn't think Guo Jia was a good person, nor did she expect him to have compassion for others.
Do good people have this virtue?
Guo Jia!
Cai Yu said: "Don't make trouble, we have left some food for them." Are you really going to sacrifice yourself for them? ”
She was a little incredulous.
Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders and said, "Naturally, I won't sacrifice myself for them." ”
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Cai Yu's face.
She knew it was going to be like this.
This guy is definitely not a self-sacrificing person.
But......
A flash of determination flashed across Guo Jia's face.
"Let these innocent people die in front of me, and I won't agree."
He suddenly said arrogantly: "What about the hundreds of thousands of troops? Under the city of Lunu, I have beaten the 100,000-strong army of Zhang Niujiao? ”
This guy!
Cai Yu was a little crying and laughing.
The main force of the Yellow Turban Army could not be compared with the rabble with horns.
These are the elites of a hundred battles who have been fighting for months.
She suddenly discovered a problem, Guo Jia generally doesn't keep his hands, and once he shafts up, he is stubborn.
Guo Jia!
Cai Yu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Guo Jia.
"Girl, tomorrow, I'll let Zhao Zilong send you away. so as not to be harmed in any way. ”
