Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Yellow Turban Strikes
Luo Gan was discussing with everyone, and Zhang San came in in a panic and said, "Report ...... Lord Prefectural Commander, disaster is coming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Luo Gan said calmly: "Hmph, what kind of system is panicked, what happened, such a fuss." ”
Zhang San swallowed his saliva and said anxiously: "Lord, visit the Malay report, there are yellow turban thieves attacking." ”
"What, there's a yellow scarf here?" Wang Jin exclaimed.
"It's so bold that you dare to offend my lord." Chao Gai was furious.
"What birds, yellow turbans, moth thieves, watch my iron bull go and cut them to death." Li Kui's loud voice resounded through the hall.
......
When everyone heard that the Yellow Turban was coming, they were furious and wanted to rush out immediately and kill them all.
Luo Gan slapped the case and said angrily: "What is the noise, be quiet!" The finger of his right hand pointed at Zhang San and said: "The scout can be found clearly, how many moth thieves are coming?" Who is the leader? ”
Zhang San hurriedly said: "My lord, Tanma said that there are nearly 10,000 people, twenty miles away from the county seat, and they are coming towards the east gate of our county. I don't know who it is. Please make a quick decision. ”
Luo Gan hurriedly ordered: "Someone is coming, go and inform the county lieutenant and the county magistrate to come to the mansion." Chao Gai, you led 200 people to ambush outside the city, and when the Yellow Turban thieves attacked the county seat, find the right time, you and I attacked inside and outside, and caught him off guard. Go ahead. ”
"Command." Chao Gai gave up his hand, and immediately left the mansion to lead 200 people out of the city to ambush.
Luo Gan said again: "Zhou Meng, you lead two hundred soldiers to the north gate to guard." Well, Zhao Tiezhu, you lead one hundred and fifty soldiers to the south gate to defend against the enemy. ”
Zhou Meng and Zhao Tiezhu hurriedly stood up and took the order.
Luo Gan looked at the two of them, and thought: This time the yellow turban is not the main force, and it should not be a famous person, think about it, in addition to Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, it seems that Nanyang Zhang Mancheng, and Changshan Zhang Yan, and Boling Zhang Niujiao are relatively strong and famous, and they are six yellow scarves. The others don't seem to be very powerful characters, and it basically depends on the number of people. Swarmed.
Luo Gan counted in his heart, and suddenly found that in addition to the six yellow scarves, there were really many celebrities with the surname Zhang in the Three Kingdoms in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Zhang Fei, the famous Shu Han Five Tiger Generals, Zhang Liao and Zhang He among the five good generals of Cao Wei; Jiangdong Erzhang, Yizhou Metropolitan Governor Zhang Ren, Xiliang Zhang Ji Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew. Well, there are indeed many celebrities with the surname Zhang in the Three Kingdoms.
There is also the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, Zhang Lu of the Wudoumi Sect, the Zhang family is really full of talents, but who makes the Zhang family more not, and the surname Zhang ranks third in the country in later generations.
At this time, the county lieutenant Tang Feng and the county Cheng Wu Jin came.
Luo Gan said to the two: "You two must also know that the three brothers of Julu Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang gathered to rebel, and the imperial court has sent Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun to suppress it. And now, there is a group of yellow turban thieves who want to attack my Shouzhang County. ”
Wu Jin, the county lieutenant, knew that there was a yellow turban attack, and he was a little flustered, but he was still not frightened. Xiang Luo Gan, the county commander, asked, "I don't know, how will the county lord deal with the attack of thieves?"
Luo Gan put on an arrogant look, and waved his big hand and said: "The Yellow Turban Thieves are just a group of rabble, I regard them as grass mustard, a plate of loose sand, not to be afraid. ”
The county magistrate and the county lieutenant hurriedly said: "There is a county lord sitting in the town, and there is only a yellow scarf, it is not a problem, but it is on the orders of the adults." ”
Luo Gan said: "Well, they were originally just a group of peasants, but they had no food to eat, and they dared to rebel because they were bewitched by Zhang Jiao and others." It must be inferior to the elite soldiers of our county. Lieutenant Wu, you lead two hundred men to the west gate to defend. Tang County, you go and gather the township Yong, and then let the gentry and wealthy families in the county send out some miscellaneous servants to participate in the defense. Then you take some people to inspect the city, and if there is any one who takes advantage of the opportunity to commit a traitor, kill! Take advantage of the fire to robber and kill! Ventilation news, betrayal of the county, kill! ”
Tang County Cheng and Wu County Lieutenant trembled and said, "I must wait according to the arrangement of the adults, and I don't dare to wait slowly." The county seat must be guarded. ”
"Well, you guys should go quickly." Luo Gan's face was straight, he got up and moved forward, and waved his big hand: "Wu Yong, Wang Jin, Li Kui led the rest of the soldiers and horses in the county to follow me, the enemy's main force is coming to the east gate, and I will personally go to the east gate to guard." All the gentlemen worked together to fight against the Yellow Turban Thieves and protect the old folks in the county. Let's go! ”
"Yes, defend the county fathers. Kill, kill, kill! “
Li Kui opened the way, Wang Jin guarded, Wu Yong followed, and Luo Gan led four hundred elite soldiers to the east gate.
……
"Look, my lord, the yellow turban is here." Wang Jin pointed ahead and said to Luo Gan.
Luo Gan looked in the direction pointed by Wang Jin, and sure enough, two miles away, dust was everywhere, birds and beasts were scattering and fleeing, and the shouting and noise were getting closer and closer.
Luo Gan frowned and looked closely, only to see a large number of people dressed in coarse linen clothes, armed with all kinds of strange weapons, hoes, rakes, sickles and other farm tools. It really popularized ancient farming tools for Luo Gan. There are also the most primitive and simple weapons, sticks.
It seems that there must be a large number of people, estimated to be five or six thousand.
After he became the county magistrate, he originally brought 400 people, plus 200 people from various places such as the original county officials. There were six hundred. He secretly recruited five or six hundred villagers, and after training, he had a small army of 12,300 men who could fight, and the ordnance in the treasury, plus all the blacksmiths in the county, but everyone had weapons, some simple leather armor, and the equipment was not excellent, but it was much stronger than the peasant army outside the city with farm tools.
Plus the three hundred or so people who had just been recruited from among the gentry and wealthy families in the county. I have 1,500 men. Luo Gan looked at the five or six thousand people outside the city, and fought against five or six thousand people with one thousand and five, if it was against the regular army, then he would definitely be finished, but the enemy was not a regular army.
Luo Gan also knew that the equipment of these Yellow Turban Uprising people was not the most terrifying. The terrible thing is that they are bewitched by the Yellow Turban Leader and worship Zhang Jiao and others, which is the most dangerous.
Zhang Jiao and others drew a beautiful pie for them, using religious superstition to demagogue people and make them very brutal. The Yellow Turbans burned down the government's mansions, killed officials, and plundered everywhere. The world was shaken, riots continued, and various places were plunged into war, resistance and suppression. Civilians were either coerced into the war or killed.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion shook the foundation of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Yellow Turban was very harmful to the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it would eventually be suppressed. But in order to suppress the Yellow Turbans, the central government delegated power to the localities. The local tyrants rose together, and the princes were divided. The authority of the central government plummeted, and the emperor gradually became a puppet. It was eventually replaced by powerful princes.
Luo Gan looked at the upcoming yellow scarf, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking of this.
The gates were closed, and the people at the top of the walls were ready to defend themselves with bows and arrows, or armed with swords and spears.
The five or six thousand yellow scarves who came to attack kept shouting, and the troops were divided to surround Shouzhang County.
The first man in the city, seven feet tall, armed with a spear, compared to the other yellow turban people, in addition to wearing a yellow scarf on his head, he was wearing armor and riding a red horse.
The spear in his hand pointed at the head of the city and ordered loudly: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky!" Kill me, break the city! Share the property. ”
