Chapter 898
Du Ruhui looked at the yellow scarf soldiers attacking like tide ants below the city, his face was gloomy and his heart was very heavy.

Due to the plague of locusts, the Yellow Turbans rose again, but the Yellow Turbans under the city were still the people of the Han Dynasty after all.The real Yellow Turban bandits are actually only a few thousand people, and these common people are all bewitched by the Yellow Turban Army.During the mutual attack, the people who died were all Qingzhou people.

As the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, Du Ruhui's heart was like a bright mirror. He knew that the yellow scarf soldiers in the city were not deeply bewitched. As long as they were defeated, they could return to the people.But with the rise of the Yellow Turban Army, the people who were originally bewitched and coerced along with the Yellow Turbans plundered and slaughtered together, and their human weakness gradually broke out.

The originally honest people, after massacring, robbing, and robbing women with the Yellow Turban, tasted the benefits of getting something for nothing, and then indulged in killing, power, and desire. After a long time, they will become plundering bandits and cruel of demons.

This is also the reason why the world is in chaos, and why the insurgents can rise up quickly, defeat, and destroy the powerful regime.

Except for a very small number of those with strict military discipline, most of these insurgents behaved like the Yellow Turbans when they first prospered.But as their strength increased, they gradually formulated rules to restrain their soldiers and horses, the survival of the fittest, and the one who won the hearts of the people won the world.

If they continue to slaughter and plunder as they did when they first started to rise, they will definitely be the first to perish.Such as Zhu Can in the late Sui Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong in the late Ming Dynasty and others.

Du Ruhui knew that the problem of the Yellow Turban bandits must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the common people would completely lose their humanity over time.Second, the three prefectures of Jinan, Qi, and Le'an don't have many people, with a population of just over [-]. With the prosperity of the Yellow Turbans, the population will decrease during the slaughter.

And according to his analysis, Zhao Kuangyin also intends to attack Qingzhou. The Yellow Turbans are raging in the interior of Qingzhou. If Zhao Kuangyin is here, he will really be powerless.

"Standing on its own will only lead to more and more casualties. Right now, the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses are still composed of ordinary people, and there are only a few remnants of the Yellow Turbans from the past. I can call on the young and strong warriors in the city and lead the troops to kill them. This way, we will surely win a big victory. "

Du Ruhui was not frightened by the large number of Yellow Turbans, but calmly analyzed the situation.

Although there are many people in the Yellow Turbans, most of them are mobs, vulnerable to a single blow. Linzi, the state of Qi, is the seat of the state of Qi, and there are two thousand soldiers in the city.Although these soldiers and horses are only responsible for defending the city, garrisoning, arresting and other tasks on weekdays, they have a lot of training.

It's just that they haven't experienced war, and they can't compare with the elites in Qingzhou's establishment.But as long as there is an organized and orderly organization of soldiers and horses to fight and defeat the Yellow Turban once, the Yellow Turban will be afraid, and the soldiers will grow during the battle.At that time, the defenders of Jinan and Le'an will join forces to attack the Yellow Turbans. The massive Yellow Turban rebellion will actually be quelled soon.

It was almost dark now, and the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses under the city were not yet familiar with fighting. They couldn't attack Linzi for a long time, so they lost their morale.

Seeing this situation, Du Ruhui quickly summoned most of the soldiers and horses in the city, leaving only a few people to guard the city, and then ordered people to gather young and strong men in the city.Not long after, a thousand young and strong men gathered, plus more than 1000 government soldiers, there were more than 2000 people.

Du Ruhui summoned them to the school grounds in the city, and stood on a high place to speak to these young men.

"People of the Qi State, our lives have just settled down now. Although the locust plague broke out this year, the governor's mansion has also distributed food and grass to help the victims. Although it is said that there is not enough to eat, it will not starve to death. Wait until summer comes. , and can grow corn and sweet potatoes, and we will still be able to live a happy life by then.

But the Yellow Turban bandits back then took this opportunity to use Fu Shui's deceptive tricks to fool the people, which has led to the resurgence of the Yellow Turbans, and the people are once again in dire straits.If we let it go on, let alone filling our stomachs, we are afraid that our lives will be lost. "

The development of the Yellow Turban is in the villages and relatively large cities, and the people are not bewitched by the Yellow Turban.What's more, most of the young people in this city are in their 30s and [-]s. They have experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Guanghe for six years.

After hearing Du Ruhui's words, these young men were filled with righteous indignation, beat their chests and stamped their feet, annoyed that the yellow scarf bandits ruined their peaceful life.

Du Ruhui was the governor of the county, although he hadn't been in office for long, he was very popular with the people. Today, as a scholar, he came to the city to command the battle and repelled an attack from the Yellow Turban. Now they all regard Du Ruhui as the backbone.

A strong man among the young and strong people said loudly: "Your Majesty, the yellow scarves are back, but I don't know when the soldiers and horses of the state capital will come to help?"

Du Ruhui shook his head and said: "There is no reinforcements, Zhao Guangyi from Xuzhou attacked Qingzhou, all the soldiers we can fight in Qingzhou have gone to the front line, and now we can't send a single soldier."

It was said that the soldiers of Linzi Mansion were alright, but the young and strong people in the city who had been summoned were discussing and terrified.Now that Qingzhou has no reinforcements, isn't the Yellow Turban going to completely occupy these three counties?At that time, we will have to follow the Yellow Turbans and lose the stable life we ​​have finally obtained?

Many young adults who were kidnapped by bandits in the Yellow Turbans were even more terrified. Although they were young back then, that period of life was the scariest memory in their lives.

Cannibalism, massacre, beating, abuse, and robbery of civilian women have all been experienced by them once, and now looking back, they are even more terrified.

An older young man was not far from Du Ruhui, so he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the imperial court can't send troops now, you have to find a way. I was only ten years old, and I was coerced by them. They What can't be done, I don't want my wife and children to suffer like this."

"That's right, back then I had no food for the yellow scarf, so my younger brother was eaten by them." Another person said with a sad face.

"Be quiet!" Du Ruhui pressed his hands and said loudly: "Although the imperial court can't send troops and horses, no one can come to rescue us, so we can only save ourselves. It's useless to sit and wait for death, we can only take the initiative to attack. Only by attacking the Yellow Turbans can we be rescued."

When Qing Zhuang heard the words, everyone was silent, and one person feared: "Attack on the initiative? Now there are thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers and horses outside the city, how can they take the initiative to attack? What's more, the Yellow Turbans have swept across the three counties, and there are hundreds of thousands of people. They will come to attack when they get the news. Can we beat it?"

Du Ruhui said in a loud voice: "How can we not fight? The Yellow Turbans seem to be powerful, with 10,000+ soldiers and horses, but they are all coerced population, and the soldiers and horses are all young and strong organized by the people, no different from us.

What's more, they have just ravaged the three counties, and the soldiers and horses from all over the place have not yet gathered, and the number of people is still scattered. As long as we defeat a soldier and horse outside the city, with the momentum of a big victory, and then defeat them one by one, the Yellow Turbans will surely be defeated. . "

Seeing that the people still had lingering fears, Du Ruhui continued: "Do you remember Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban rebellion back then?"

A young man in his 30s said: "Naturally, I remember that I was also coerced and counted as a member of the Yellow Turban. After Qingzhou was stabilized, I became a citizen again. Back then, Zhangjiao's rebellion swept through more than half of the Han people in a short time. The prefectures and counties have a huge momentum, unprecedented in ancient and modern times!"

Du Ruhui smiled and said: "You're only half right. Although the Yellow Turban is very powerful, the imperial court also responded in many ways. The late emperor used Lu Gong, who is now Taiwei Lu Zhi, Huang Pusong, and Zhu Jun, as generals to lead the army. After defeating the Yellow Turbans, the main force of the Yellow Turbans quickly calmed down."

"Although the main force of the Yellow Turbans is fixed, the remaining evils have existed for more than ten years, just like today's Qingzhou, and the Yellow Turbans have revived." Another person questioned.

Du Ruhui said loudly: "That's because the late emperor died of illness, Dong Zhuo entered the capital, and the imperial court was unable to attack the Yellow Turban. However, His Majesty succeeded to the throne and sent a general to guard Qingzhou. Didn't the rebellion be quelled soon?
What I want to say is that the Yellow Turbans are not terrible. At that time, they swept over half of the states and counties of the Han Dynasty. Taiwei Lu Zhi only led the fifth school in Luoyang, with no more than [-] troops, but still defeated the main force of the Yellow Turbans, which was hundreds of thousands.

As long as we dare to attack, there are only a few thousand soldiers outside the city. As long as we lead the elite to raid the Yellow Turban camp at night, the Yellow Turbans will be defeated, and then we will take the momentum of victory to deal with other Yellow Turban soldiers. In a short time, the Yellow Turbans will be calmed rebellion. "

When all the young and strong heard the words, they all agreed.

Du Ruhui said again: "There are not many soldiers and horses in the raid, and only 500 people are needed if you are brave and not afraid of death. Therefore, although I have soldiers and horses, I still have to choose warriors from among you, in order to ensure victory in one blow!" "

When everyone heard the words, they knew that Du Ruhui was going to select dead soldiers and carry out a surprise attack.

Du Ruhui had no choice but to choose the dead soldiers. He defended the city today and saw a warrior among the yellow scarves.If he rashly led his troops to attack and was blocked by the warriors, the Yellow Turban would take advantage of the momentum to attack, and he would definitely be defeated.

That's why Du Ruhui summoned all the young and strong in the city to list the crimes of the Yellow Turbans and point out the weaknesses of the Yellow Turbans.In this way, those who volunteer are those who are not afraid of life and death, and maybe they can find a warrior who can fight against the warrior in the yellow scarf.These dead soldiers led their troops to attack. Du Ruhui was at the base of the garrison city. If the surprise attack was successful, they would fight out together.

Who is the scariest person is naturally not afraid of death.Sometimes their fighting power erupted by the dead is even more terrifying than the elites of hundreds of battles.That's why Du Ruhui chose the dead soldiers. If he loses to the Yellow Turban, he won't lose many people.

As a guest of Li Shimin's shogunate, Du Ruhui helped Li Shimin kill brothers and sisters and seize the throne, he was not a benevolent person.He calculated very far-reaching.

For a long time, there was no voice among the young and strong people, even if it was the government soldiers in the city, there were only a hundred people who wanted to follow him.

If Du Ruhui directly ordered them to send troops, they naturally would not dare to disobey, but now Du Ruhui made it clear that he was picking dead soldiers.Why the dead?It means throwing away your life, charging desperately on the battlefield, and not being able to retreat.Besides, attacking more with less is, in their view, a death-defying situation, so these soldiers are also afraid.

Seeing that no one responded, Du Ruhui couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Could it be that there aren't many real heroes in my land of Qilu? If that's the case, then I will take the lead personally. I wonder if anyone is willing to follow?"

"Who says there are no heroes in Qilu? The sheriff doesn't have to send troops himself. You just need to give me fifty elites, and I can break the yellow scarf." A strong man stood up and said loudly.

Everyone looked at him and saw that he was eight feet tall, about 30 years old, and had a beard under his chin, but it was quite neatly trimmed.With a Chinese character face, his eyes are not angry but majestic, majestic and majestic, making people dare not look at him closely.

There was one person who took the lead, and many soldiers among the government soldiers gritted their teeth and stood up.

Among the young and middle-aged, many people experienced the last Yellow Turban rebellion, and their relatives died. Now most of them marry wives and have children, but there are still many people who are alone.Being so provoked by Du Ruhui, he immediately stood up.

"Since the magistrate is so confident, what do I have to be afraid of? I am alone, so I will fight for the backs in the city."

"Count me in. I was arrested by the Yellow Turban back then, but I didn't want my son to suffer like me."
