The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 254 Messenger

On Puzi City, the county magistrate Chen Shen looked worriedly at the Yingtian camp outside the city.

In the past few days, there have been several commotions among the soldiers of Xihe County outside the city, and the generals and officers of Xihe County are becoming more and more anxious day by day.

Finally at today's Maoshi, several commanders of Xihe County soldiers walked into the county government office and bid farewell to Chen Shen.

The soldiers of Xihe County were pulling out their camps. They left Puzi City and headed north towards Xihe County.

Their families, their clansmen, are all in Xihe County, and now Xihe County has fallen into the hands of the Huns. It is only a miracle that they can persist in Puzi City for two months without mutiny.

It is already July, and since Xihe County was captured in May, bad news came one after another.

Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, was defeated and committed suicide. Xu An, a virtuous and good teacher of the Yellow Turban Army, led his troops to the north and captured Taiyuan County in one fell swoop. Yanmen County and Dingxiang County both surrendered.

In just two months, the three counties of Bingzhou had changed hands, changed their flags, and all the soldiers surrendered. In the entire northern region, only Puzi City was still flying the red flag of the Han army.

And in two months, the last trace of patience of these Xihe County soldiers was about to be worn away.

They know that the Huns are powerful, they know that they lack cavalry, and they know that any force from the Huns to the Yellow Turbans can destroy them, but they still want to go home, to their family in Xihe County where you live.

No one is a fool, Puzi City is already an isolated city, with the Yellow Turban in the south and the Huns in the north, no strong support from outside, no food and grass in the inside, staying in Puzi City is a dead end, no matter whether it is active attack or passive defense, it cannot escape the result of extinction .

The result is already doomed, there is only one road to choose from, so why not die in your hometown and fight to the death.

So after these Xihe County soldiers made up their minds, they chose to leave Puzi City under the leadership of Captain Zhang Lang. Even if they died, they would die in their hometown.

Then, before dying, take as many Huns as possible into Huangquan, so that it is a worthy death

The soldiers of Xihe County had been in Bianjun for a long time, so they naturally knew the nature of the Huns. They didn't take any chances. They knew that most of their families and clansmen in Xihe County were in danger.

The Huns were like locusts. Few people survived the cities they conquered, and those who survived existed as the most humble slaves, and life was worse than death.

"The wind is shaky and the water is cold, and once the strong man goes, he will never return."

Chen Shen looked at the soldiers of Xihe County who were pulling out the camp, and let out a long sigh.

The surplus grain in Puzi City can last three months, and Chen Shen also delivered some to the soldiers of Xihe County.

Chen Shen knew that it was not easy for these county soldiers to stick to the military order for such a long time.

"only……"

Chen Shen looked to the south, where the Yellow Turban camp was located, and thousands of "moth thieves" were hiding deep in the mountains.

Chen Shen knew that there must be scouts from the Yellow Turban Army in the dense forest, monitoring every move of Puzi City, and the news that the soldiers of Xihe County had pulled out of the camp must not be hidden from these Yellow Turban Army.

Soon the turbulent yellow tide will sweep under the city of Puzi City again. This time, there will be no reinforcements to help Puzi City.

The fall of Puzi City has become inevitable.

Chen Shen has already sent his youngest son out of the city and hid in a farmer's house in a settlement. If the Yellow Turban Army is as rumored, the military discipline is not corrupt, there are few acts of burning, killing and looting, and he still has children to survive.

This can be regarded as the end of Chen Shen's last worry. Chen Shen firmly pressed the blue bricks on the crenel, and tomorrow may be the time for him to die for his country.

At this moment, a burst of noisy voices appeared beside Chen Shen's ears, and then the voices became louder and louder, even overwhelming the noise of Xihe County's soldiers pulling out their camps.

Chen Shen turned around and looked to the east. It was one of the garrisons of Xihe County soldiers, and the sound came from that side.

It was an earthy yellow color, and Chen Shen's heart tightened. In the dense forest to the east, a large number of soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army with their heads wrapped in yellow scarves suddenly flashed out.

The flags were densely packed, as if a layer of gold was inlaid on the outside of the dense forest.

At this time, the sound of trumpets and drums sounded at the army camp of Xihe County, which was pulling out the camp. Although it was chaotic, the soldiers of Xihe County began to gather under the scolding of the general.

After all, they are soldiers from border counties, and their fighting power and military quality are not comparable to those of ordinary inland soldiers, and their impromptu reactions have improved a lot.

And if it wasn't for the fact that the soldiers of Xihe County were in a depression and were preparing to go north to meet the Huns, so they withdrew their vigilant scouts, otherwise the Yellow Turban Army would not even be able to reach the periphery.

Just as Chen Shen was thinking, a small group of Yellow Turban cavalry suddenly walked out from the Yellow Turban Army formation, holding long yellow flags, and came slowly.

The Yellow Turban Army outside the dense forest did not attack the camp of Xihe County, so this small group of cavalry walked to the outskirts of the camp of Xihe County.

Then, after a while, Chen Shen was even more astonished. The barracks of the Xihe County soldiers opened the gates and let the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army inside.

Then the soldiers of Xihe County and the Yellow Turban Army confronted each other strangely.

Chen Shen's face was solemn, Xihe County and the Yellow Turban Army would never have colluded early, he knew this very well, otherwise when those generals from Xihe County entered the city today, they would have easily killed him.

There are countless other ways to conspire to seize the city, so that they will not collude with the Yellow Turban Army under his nose.

Chen Shen frowned slightly. He felt that the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army who entered the camp of Xihe County was probably the emissary sent by the 'Moth Thief' to communicate.

At this moment, the speculation in Chen Shen's mind was almost inseparable from the truth of the matter.

This is indeed the envoy sent by the Yellow Turban Army. Xu An followed Yan Zhong's suggestion and selected a few eloquent eloquent eloquent emissaries from the talismans of Taiping Dao to go to Puzi City to see if he could persuade him to surrender.

Tian Zhong had previously served as an envoy and communicated with the Yellow Turban Army in the Wangwu, so he was also recommended and selected.

After the arrangements were made, Tian Zhong and his party headed towards Puzi City, but when they arrived outside Puzi City, they saw the Han army in Xihe County preparing to evacuate.

That's why there was the scene outside Puzi City, which made Chen Shen feel weird and confused.

……

Compared to outside the camp, the soldiers of Xihe County and the Yellow Turban Army faced each other quietly.

In the big tent of Xihe County, the generals of Xihe County are currently divided into two camps, arguing fiercely.
