Chapter 233
"Husband... Madam!!"
Cao Cao woke up from his dream, sweating all over.
In panic, he looked around and found that he was in the big tent of the military camp.
The memory in his mind was gradually awakened, reminding him of what happened yesterday.
"Liu Chengzhi..."
Drinking with the Tanghai County Magistrate, he fell to the ground drunk without knowing it.
When he woke up again, it was already noon.
He didn't know what happened after he fell.
His head was a mess.
Before waking up, he had a nightmare.
There was a masked man who wanted to take his wife away.
He said something like "I will take care of your wife and daughter, don't worry about it."
He asked two men to tie him up, drag him outside and chop off his head, saying that he would borrow your head for use.
And he made him watch some inhumane scenes and chop off his head.
This made Cao Cao extremely terrified.
It took a long time to get out of the nightmare a little bit.
But that real feeling seemed to have happened yesterday, making him feel as if a heavy rock like a mountain was pressing on him.
He even felt depressed when breathing.
After eating some porridge, Cao Cao calmed down and Liu Yu's figure appeared in his mind again.
He took a few followers and went to meet him.
The sharp weapon yesterday made his head hot when he thought of it now.
If he could establish a good relationship with the other party and get a few weapons, he would have a good gift to show when he returned to Luoyang.
After finding the camp of Tanghai soldiers, Cao Cao reported his purpose, but was told by the soldiers that their county magistrate went to Yingchuan.
"Going to Yingchuan?"
Cao Cao frowned.
He couldn't figure out why the Tanghai county magistrate didn't rush to ask for credit from the court, but went to Yingchuan first. What did this mean?
Is there something else important?
No, he had to go and see.
If there was any good thing, how could he be left out?
In the young county magistrate, Cao Cao saw what it meant to be able to seize opportunities.
"Let's go! Hurry to Yingchuan government office immediately!"
Taking a group of followers and riding on war horses, Cao Cao and his party galloped away.
...
In the Yingchuan government office.
The news that the Yellow Turbans were defeated had already spread to every household.
Everyone in the streets and alleys was talking about topics related to the Yellow Turbans.
Before, the entire government office became panic-stricken because of the huge number of Yellow Turbans gathered.
Now that those Yellow Turbans have been defeated, their lives can finally return to normal.
In the restaurant, Chen Qun sat alone, waiting for his friends.
He picked up the wine cup and sipped it.
Sitting at the table by the window on the second floor, looking down, looking at the passing crowd.
On the street, a half-grown boy running entered his sight.
"Victory! Great victory!"
"150,000 Yellow Turban rebels were defeated overnight by Tanghai County Magistrate Liu Chengzhi!"
"The monstrous fire plan, as if divine help!"
"Yellow Turban commander, one dead and one captured!"
"Three thousand cavalrymen defeated 150,000 Yellow Turbans, extremely powerful!!"
The young man ran through the street, leaving behind a series of very clear shouts.
People on the street were talking about it.
The name of Tanghai County Magistrate Liu Chengzhi was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The people were all praising each other's wisdom and bravery.
It only took 3,000 people to defeat the 150,000 Yellow Turban rebels.
And the imperial army, who had been in a stalemate with the Yellow Turbans for who knows how long, did not gain the upper hand at all.
This made the people have a deeper understanding of the gap in strength between the two teams.
Chen Qun, who was sitting on the second floor of the restaurant, put down the wine cup in his hand and frowned slightly.
The various news from the young man made him want to believe, but he dared not believe.
If the court had such a powerful army, why didn't it send it out to suppress the rebellion earlier?
The gossip on the street was still unreliable.
Even the elite army sent by the court could not do it.
A county magistrate could do it?
And he only led a team of 3,000 people?
All kinds of loopholes made him shake his head again and again.
Everything still needs to wait for the official release of news to know the real situation of the war outside.
"Long article!"
While Chen Qun was thinking, the wooden stairs of the restaurant made a series of muffled thumps.
He looked up and saw his good friend Zhong Yao Zhong Yuanchang.
"Yuanchang is so anxious, what happened?" Chen Qun asked slowly.
"Of course!" Zhong Yao ran up, knelt down, picked up the wine cup and drank it first.
He took a few deep breaths, blushed and said, "The government's notice has come out!"
"Oh?" Chen Qun put down his chopsticks, "What did they say?"
"Did the two generals of the court launch the raid a few days ago?"
"No." Zhong Yao shook his head firmly, "Guess again!"
"No..." Chen Qun stroked his goatee and frowned..
The thoughts in his mind turned like lightning, and he glanced secretly.
The faint smile on the face of his old friend seemed to say, you can never guess it!
Chen Qun's mind suddenly flashed, and he said with a flash of his eyes: "Could it be that the gossip spread on the street is true!"
"Did the Tanghai County Magistrate really use the fire attack to defeat the Yellow Turbans overnight?"
"More than that!" Zhong Yao added excitedly: "Although those rumors are very true, they are not strong enough!"
"The real situation is even crazier than we imagined!"
"Is it true?" Chen Qun didn't know how to describe his mood.
Such exaggerated news is not the real situation?
"What happened that night?"
He asked impatiently.
He didn't even notice the movement, grabbed the other's arm, held it tightly, and unconsciously added some strength.
Zhong Yao shook off the other's arm, "I went to the government to inquire."
"It is said that the Tanghai County Magistrate led his troops to Yingchuan at an unknown time."
"Even the two generals of the court did not know, so they launched a surprise attack."
"A fire plan disrupted the Yellow Turban camp."
"Directly led to the collapse of all the Yellow Turban soldiers."
"Then took advantage of the chaos to kill General Zhang Bao."
"Attack and kill the Yellow Turban's living forces outside the camp."
"Then chase the fleeing General Zhang Liang."
"Two Yellow Turban bandit leaders, one dead and one captured."
"In just one night, the 150,000 Yellow Turban rebels who troubled the court army were completely defeated."
"As for the fleeing Yellow Turban soldiers, without the two leading generals, they had to return to Jizhou to join the Yellow Turban's old nest."
"The rest were just some scattered soldiers."
"With the soldiers in each county, it won't take long to wipe them all out."
"Hmm..." Chen Qun pondered.
"The county magistrate led 3,000 county soldiers and did what two famous generals of the imperial court led tens of thousands of troops but failed to do."
"And it was completed overnight..."
"Let alone other things, the fire plan alone is not simple."
"How did only 3,000 people create such a huge fire?"
"There is no way there is no sentry in the huge Yellow Turban camp."
"Even if there is a slight fire, how can it not be put out with so many people after it is discovered?"
