Chapter 68 United in the history

The whole county was boiling, but the nine families in the county were indifferent and did not pluck a hair. Everyone knows that as long as the nine families take action, they can organize at least 4,000 ethnic soldiers. The combat strength of those ethnic soldiers is no less than that of officers and soldiers. More importantly, the equipment and weapons of ethnic soldiers are much better than that of officers and soldiers.

In the face of this situation, Zhao Pu, the county magistrate, was almost crazy. He went to visit several families in person and closed the door. Without the previous taxation, what is today's passive situation? Zhao Pu knew that this was a violent tax levy by nine families in retaliating against the government. The nine families are not afraid that the city will be broken. Once the city is broken, as long as they are willing to bleed and take out a large number of treasures and gold and silver treasures to the Yellow Turban Army, they can safely avoid the disaster.

But ordinary people have suffered. Once the city is broken, burning, killing, looting and rape-** will definitely come to them.

At the same time, some secret words spread among the people: as long as Taishici's family left Donglai County, the nine families would organize ethnic soldiers to resist the invading yellow scarf army.

One day, these messages had no influence, and in the early morning of the fourth day, some old people in the county gathered at the gate of the county government and asked to meet Zhao Pu, the county magistrate.

Zhao Pu took the elders into the back hall of the county government, and Zhao Pu sat down, and the old men complained to Zhao Pu with tears. After a while, Zhao Pu knew the folk rumors.

Zhao Pu knew that it was not a rumor, but the real intention of the nine major families, which was to force the Taishici family away and never return to Donglai County.

Well, the arm can't twist the thighs. After Zhao Pu sent away the desperate public opinion representatives, he sat alone in the back hall, secretly sad.

However, in the face of the strength of the nine families and the safety of the county, the balance in Zhao Pu's heart gradually lost its balance. After all, the strength of the officers and soldiers is far less than that of the nine families: the nine families can not only send brave and good soldiers, but also provide food and fodder and other strategic materials unconditionally.

What can the officers do at this time? It's just consuming food and fodder. No matter how strong Tai Shici is, can it be stronger than nearly ten thousand yellow scarf soldiers? Can it be stronger than the 4,000 soldiers of the nine families? ... In the end, Zhao Pu, the county magistrate, made up his mind to tell Tai Shici himself the wishes of the people and the strong demands of the nine major families.

As an ordinary general, Tai Shici is patrolling the wall. In a few days, the Yellow Turban Army organized a group to scold the moat, trying to anger the defenders and send troops to fight against it. Three times a day in the morning and evening.

After a few days of observation, Tai Shici found that the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in the besieged city was actually Du Yuan, Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao. Du Yuan is in the North City, Liao Hua is in the South City, and Pei Yuanshao is in the West City.

The yellow scarf army far away in Yingchuan County has gathered in Qingzhou, which shows how many yellow scarf troops have come to the border of Qingzhou? Qu Shuai and Guan Hai are really generous.

Although there are only a thousand officers and soldiers defending the city, and the volunteers voluntarily formed by the people, there is still no problem defending the city. Art of War: Five thousand defensive forces can resist the siege of 100,000 enemies. The reason is that the attacking side relies on the advantage of a large number of people and relying on the siege tools such as ladders. From the perspective of time, they are short-lived; while the defending side relies on the long-lasting wind and rainy wall, the design and construction of the wall is very necessary. For a long time, it turned endless human and material resources into defense, so 5,000 people can resist the attack of 100,000 people with the help of the wall. This is very fair.

Of course, the premise is that 5,000 soldiers should have the courage to resist and the determination to fight to the death. The city wall, courage and determination are indispensable.

War, in the final analysis, fighting is courage and determination, fighting for territory and winning or losing.

In fact, in the face of Du Yuan, Liao Hua, Pei Yuan Shao and others, Tai Shici gathered troops and could definitely defeat them. If that's the case, one is to expose the strength of Tai Shici, and the other is to be thankless. After all, the environment is not good for Tai Shici. The people will not admit him, and Donglai County will not accept him. Only when the strength of the nine major families is exhausted through the war and the people suffer a little, in this way, the situation that Taishici wants may appear.

Be simple and kill Tai Shici, and he won't do it. As a general, he must first be responsible for the safety of his subordinates. After all, Donglai County does not belong to him, even if he controls the county.

While looking at the arrogant yellow scarf army, Taishi Ci was thinking about it, and a messenger informed him: Captain Taishi, Zhao Pu, the county magistrate, was waiting in Yuelai Restaurant. There is something important to discuss...

When Tai Shici received the order, he led Yu Jiu to Yuelai Restaurant. At this time, Yu Jiu was dressed as an ordinary soldier. Yuelai Restaurant is superficially the heritage of the Huang family, but in essence, it is the property of Taishici.

As soon as Tai Shici walked into the elegant room of the restaurant, he saw Zhao Pu walking back and forth. Zhao Pu looked gloomy, as if he owed someone else a huge amount of money.

"Tai Shi met the county magistrate!" Because of his armor, Tai Shici bent down and said to the anxious Zhao Pu Shili.

When Zhao Pu heard Tai Shici's voice, his soul was possessed. He came over and sat down with Tai Shici. After some concessions, Zhao Pu and Tai Shici sat down one after another.

"Captain Taishi, in a critical situation, this county called you here. It's really important to discuss..." Zhao Pu looked at the rich dishes and had no appetite at all.

Tai Shici also felt that Zhao Pu wanted to talk and stopped talking. He said to Zhao Pu with the impatience of young people, "Zhao County Magistrate, although the humble position is young and late, the humble position is also a birth and death with adults. Adults, if you have something to say, the county is in danger. How can the humble position be in the mood to eat and drink here..."

Experiencing the emotions and responsibility in Taishi Ci's words, Zhao Puton felt a burst of sadness in his heart, and a line of tears came out of his eyes. After he tried his best to suppress the surging emotions, he raised his hand to wipe away his tears and choked and said to Taishici, "Captain Taishi, maybe you have also thought about it: Why is the county in danger, and the nine families in the county do not organize ethnic soldiers to resist the inevitable yellow scarf army?"

Tai Shici was confused by Zhao Pu's performance and words. He looked at Zhao Pu blankly and shook his head.

"Well, what should I say to you?" Zhao Pu raised his hand and beat his head. After struggling, Zhao Pu said to Taishici in a weak voice, "Captain Taishi, yesterday, public opinion representatives visited this county. They have been asking... asking Captain Taishi's family to move out of the county..."

When Taishi Ci heard the words, he sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he suddenly stood up angrily and roared, "What? Do the people dare to chase me out of me? Why... Although I'm too much a prodigal and perverse, I usually don't do anything to the people..."

In the face of Tai Shici's dissatisfied roar, Zhao Pu didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only silently wait for Tai Shici to vent.

"Oh, I know. It must be the ghost of the nine major families..." After venting, Tai Shici suddenly calmed down and clenched his lips and said in a muffled voice.

Zhao Pu saw that Tai Shici was a little calm, so he whispered, "Brother Taishi, as long as the county has overcome the difficulties, as long as the county is still here, the door of the county will be open to you at any time... Men, especially excellent men, need to endure some grievances... Hey, how can this county say such a thing? What about shameless words?"

In his mind, did Zhao Pu suddenly feel that he was not an accomplice of the nine major families? Isn't he an accomplice who framed Tai Shici?

"Well, I accept the opinion of Zhao County Magistrate!" Tai Shici pretended to be painful and helpless. Later, he didn't say hello to Zhao Pu and drank alone.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Pu found an excuse and hurriedly escaped from the restaurant. He felt very uncomfortable without telling Tai Shici what he really thought; but now Tai Shici also accepts the fate of forced migration, and he feels very ashamed. I was so ashamed that I even committed suicide.
