Wait, please don't call me Emperor Zhaolie

Chapter 186: Yellow Turban Bandits of Runan

In the fields outside Dan County of Pei State, several farmers and their wives were busy with spring plowing, and new buds were growing on the trees not far away.

Wherever the grass is not weeded, there is lush green.

There have been some spring rains recently, and perhaps there will be a good harvest this year. People are smiling now.

"Hoo ho ho..."

The sound of hurried horse hooves suddenly rang out, and a dozen people wrapped in yellow scarves rode their horses out of the village, drawing their bows and shooting arrows at the farmers.

"Whizzing!"

Arrows flew through the air and the farmer, who was caught off guard, fell to the ground after being hit by several arrows. The peasant woman was so frightened that she stood there in a daze.

The Yellow Turban scouts rode their horses to block their way. At this time, a sharp noise was heard in the village, and dozens of civilians rushed out of the village with hoes and sticks to rescue them.

The Yellow Turban cavalry in armor were not surprised but happy. They first kept their distance, drew their bows, and shot and killed a dozen people. When they saw the enemy's morale collapsed and turned to flee, they immediately rode their horses and drew their swords to kill them.

"Puff!" A stream of blood shot up into the sky, and the head flew off to an unknown place.

The leading scout enjoyed the pursuit the most, he swung his knife and chopped them down as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

It's so stupid to show your back like this, so you can't blame me.

When the scout leader with yellow scarf swung his sword, he felt full of contempt in his heart.

Two charges killed the enemy to pieces, leaving them without any sense of accomplishment.

"Take someone into the village and see how many people are still inside?"

The scout leader gave the order.

He vaguely heard the group of people moving the children and women to the forest behind. Unfortunately, even if they left an hour or two earlier, the scouts would be able to catch up with them on horseback.

If I didn't even have the time to do this, I would have stopped being a scout long ago.

He turned to the others and said, "Cut off the heads of these young men and take them to scare the guards of Dan County, saying that their reinforcements have been defeated."

"Yes!"

Not long after, the sound of fighting was heard in the village, but it soon stopped. The Yellow Turbans who had entered the village came out quickly, their armor and blades stained with blood, and there were several notches on the sword.

"There were a few people hiding inside and trying to launch a surprise attack, but we killed them easily. We didn't see any women or children. They must have taken the opportunity to escape during the fight just now."

The scout leader glanced at the few shivering peasant women who had been captured, and randomly selected two people to chase the fleeing women and children.

Then he walked towards the peasant women and was not surprised to see that they were skinny, extremely ordinary looking, and some even had ugly faces.

These peasant women are exposed to the wind and sun every day, and their skin has become dark and yellow. Famine has often occurred in recent years. It is already good enough for them to survive. How can they afford to maintain a good appearance?

Only the women from the wealthy and powerful families who eat good meat and do not have to work can have a beautiful figure, face and neat white teeth.

Especially the favored maids who came from a singing and dancing background, their skin was even whiter and smoother.

The scout leader thought of the beautiful maid he had robbed in Yingchuan. She had a stunning figure, but unfortunately she died after just a few months of being toyed with.

I never met a woman with such a good complexion again, which is a pity.

The Yellow Turban scout leader was thinking about taking off his armor, while the other soldiers had already run to hold down several peasant women and strip them of their clothes, leaving them screaming in vain. On the way here, he secretly checked the surroundings and knew that it was the safest now, and no one needed to be vigilant.

Following the general to attack Pei State and licking blood on the edge of a knife, of course you have to relax a little. Even though these women look pale and dirty, you have to just go along with it.

The chief scout walked straight up to the one with the best look that was left for him, stuck his knife into the ground, and picked up his legs and started moving.

The Yellow Turban Army had basically become bandits by now, plundering and killing wherever they went, stealing money, robbing women, and venting their selfish desires everywhere. Calling them the Yellow Turban Bandits is exactly the right term for them.

Half an hour later, more than ten people rode away with strange cries, continuing to chase the remaining women and children in the hope of robbing more money, leaving behind headless corpses all over the ground and a female corpse with no clothes on and her lower body in a badly damaged state.

There are also uncultivated wheat fields.

……

Two hundred and twenty miles away in the Yellow Turban camp in Qiao County, although the soldiers were attacking the city, the commander in the main tent of the camp did not stop enjoying himself. He held the captured maid in his arms, and a large iron cauldron was set up in the tent, boiling with slaughtered beef in it.

This was a cow that was stolen from a wealthy family's manor that was captured. Unfortunately, it was frightened on the way, so they had to kill it and eat it as meat.

He Yi and He Man raised their wine bottles to toast each other. He Man smiled and said, "Peidi is still the best place. It is worthy of being the place where Liu Bang rose to power. Whether it is beauties, fine wine, or delicious food, the fragrance is lingering in your mouth and you will never forget it."

After saying that, he hugged the beautiful maid in his arms and sucked her lips and tongue, while his hands did not stop and kept wandering over her body.

He Yi, who was sitting on the main seat, turned a deaf ear to him. He also hugged Mei Ji and said with a smile, "It was thanks to my request to Lord Yuan that we were able to take Pei together with Sun Ce. Lord Yuan promised that everything we provided and took would be ours and there was no need to send it to Shouchun. This is a great favor."

"Yes, Lord Yuan treated us very well. We have never lacked money and cloth since we surrendered. It would have been better if we had surrendered a few years earlier."

After kissing, He Man raised her head and smiled.

Then he looked at the beautiful maid in his arms and liked her more and more. She was worthy of being the Dai family who was passed down in the ancient books of Qiao County. Even her concubine was so beautiful.

The other four families in Qiao County, namely Cao, Xu, Ding and Zhu, saw that the manor of Dai family, who lived in the west and was the master of Shi's Book of Changes, was attacked and looted by the Yellow Turban bandits.

He was so frightened that his hair stood on end and he covered his face in dismay. He then united his followers and farmhands, and after slightly repelling the Yellow Turbans, he took his family and hid in Qiao County, using the city walls to resist the Yellow Turban bandits.

He Yi, He Man, Liu Pi, Huang Shao and others saw that Qiao County was difficult to capture in a short time, so they divided their troops and had He Yi and He Man lead the main force to continue the attack.

Liu Pi led his troops to take Ling County, and Huang Shao led his troops to attack Dan County. At the same time, they could also block the reinforcements from Pei County from coming to rescue Qiao County.

"Report to the commander, a letter has arrived from Shouchun, Jiujiang!"

The messenger hurried to the outside of the tent to report.

"Bring it in."

He Yi took the letter from the messenger and read it carefully for a long time. He found that some words were written in a very difficult way. He wanted to get angry but was afraid of losing face, so he said to the concubine Dai in his arms: "Read what is written in it. If you don't understand it correctly, you don't have to serve me tonight. I will reward you to my thousands of brothers to accompany those disobedient ones."

The sound was not loud, but it made Dai's concubine turn pale instantly, and her whole body felt like a sieve. The horrific scene from the previous two days seemed to appear before her eyes.

He took the letter tremblingly and tried to keep his voice from trembling as he read: "Mr. Yuan learned that Liu Xuande of Xuzhou was collecting grain and fodder from Caohe in Xiapi and Pengcheng. He is very likely to lead his army to rescue Chen Gui of Pei State. We need to be more cautious and the Qingzhou army will launch a surprise attack to kill him."

"Liu Xuande, the governor of Xuzhou? He is the Liu Bei who defeated more than 400,000 Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. He led his army to Peidi?!"

It was like a bolt from the blue, and He Yi couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He Man also looked up in a cold sweat. Some of his soldiers had escaped from Qingzhou. Guan Hai led the elite Yellow Turbans at that time, but they were defeated by Liu Xuande in one battle.

It is said that Liu Bei had monsters under his command that were covered in iron armor and looked like evil spirits demanding his life, and that were difficult to cut with swords, spears, or lances. Only when he encountered this group of evil spirits did he break the corner of his formation.
