Chapter 12 Robbery
The Yellow Turban Army's uprising was huge, and all prefectures and counties responded.
But there are only three things that can really make a lot of noise and have a huge impact on the official army.
The Yellow Turban Army of Yingchuan, led by Bocai, the Yellow Turban Army of Runan, the Yellow Turban Army of Nanyang, led by Zhang Man, and the Yellow Turban Army of Jizhou, dominated by the three brothers of Zhang Jiao. Although other places responded, they did not cause too much storm.
The Yellow Turban Army in these three places is an important battlefield that attracted a large number of government troops. Now that Bo has failed in Yingchuan, he can only retreat to Runan.
In Runan, there are also some remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, which firmly occupy Runan County. They only need to rely on Runan County to fight against the official army to have the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, but things are often not as simple as they appear.
Bo Cai retreated no faster than the pursuit speed of the government army. When he retreated to the Chen State of Runan County, he was caught up by the government army and fought again.
The result is naturally unclear, because when Changshe was defeated, morale has not yet recovered, and 50,000 troops lost to the official army and failed again.
When the 50,000 army fled to Runan City, there were only less than 30,000 people left.
The original army of 200,000 was dead and fled.
On the contrary, when Liu Zheng brought his own people to Runan along the way, the number of people soared to more than 4,000 because he had taken away a lot of deserters.
Because there was no commander of Qu, Liu Zheng's men were arranged in a corner of Runan City. He did not provide food and grass supply to Liu Zheng's men.
Even so, Liu Zheng was not angry. After all, he didn't want to have too much involvement with these Yellow Turban Army.
When they retreated from Quyang City, they still brought some food and grass, which was barely enough to eat for a few days.
But when they had just set up camp and were stationed in Runan County, they were attacked by a force of the Yellow Turban Army to ask for their food and grass, Liu Zheng was really angry.
"Who is the head here?"
A group of Yellow Turban Army arrived in front of Liu Zheng and his camp. There were not many people, only forty or fifty people, but they were all arrogant, holding a big knife in their hands, and standing in front of the camp with a fierce expression.
Liu Zheng received the order from several Yellow Turban soldiers and hurriedly walked out from behind the tent.
As both the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Zheng did not want to have a quarrel with the other party. Although the other party was unreasonable, Liu Zheng still acted quite approachable and went up to talk to them with a happy face.
"Brothers, our coach Qu is lost. Now I am the one who talks among these brothers. Do you have anything to do?"
"So it's a group of miscellaneous soldiers without anyone to command. There is not even a Qu general. I'd be embarrassed to come to our Runan County?"
The Yellow Turban thief in the lead had a lot of bad tone and said something extremely unpleasant, but Liu Zheng still endured it.
"We have no other intentions to come here. We just want to tell you that our Yellow Turban Army in Runan County is not doing well. We have already had a meal but not a meal. We want to come to you to borrow some food and grass!"
The Yellow Turban Army mocked Liu Zheng and others, and then started to speak straight to the point and ignored it. After saying this, Liu Zheng's face immediately became gloomy.
They led their troops to Runan City. In fact, although they were seeking asylum, they also wanted to come and support to defeat the official army. Now they faced such difficulties for those who were also the Yellow Turban Army. They did not give food and grass, but also asked for their food and grass. This made Liu Zheng's anger begin to rise.
Xu Huang, who was standing next to Liu Zheng, couldn't bear it and immediately refuted.
"What? I asked us for food and grass? The people in charge here not only did not give us food and grass, but also wanted to ask us for food and grass. Where did this come from?"
"Didn't the quartermaster give you food and grass? We don't know this anymore, but it's true that people who don't even have a Qu Commander are not qualified to receive food and grass."
The strong man in Yellow Turban showed a look of surprise on his face, but his tone was quite plain. It made people know at a glance that the other party knew that Liu Zheng and others had not received food and supplies, but they still came to ask them for it, and they did it on purpose.
"But if you don't have enough food and grass, we can reluctantly let you exchange other things, such as the more than 100 war horses in your team. As long as you hand over those war horses, we don't have to hand over the food and grass!"
After the strong man in Yellow Turban said his purpose, Liu Zheng suddenly realized that these guys were fighting the idea of more than 100 war horses in their team. The so-called demand for food and grass was just an excuse.
"So you are fighting our war horses."
Liu Zheng had a gloomy face and looked extremely ugly, and he spitted these words out of his mouth.
As the saying goes, every man is innocent and has a guilty guilt. You are not hated by others, but you will be hated by others when you hold what others want.
Military supplies such as war horses are naturally what everyone wants to get in this era.
Not to mention that Liu Zheng is just a little famous Yellow Turban soldier, even if Yang Feng is still there, if he has more than a hundred such excellent war horses under his command, he will definitely be remembered by other Yellow Turban soldiers.
"Haha, since you have seen it through, I won't hide anything. Yes, we just like the war horses in your team. Those who know the knowledge will hand over all the war horses. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude. Although you are also the Yellow Turban Army, you are not worthy of having such good war horses!"
“What if we don’t give it?”
Liu Zheng lowered his head and looked at the dozens of Yellow Turban thieves in front of him coldly.
"If you don't give it, then you can die!"
The Yellow Turban Army, who was leading, was cruel and ruthless. After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he slashed the steel knife in his hand towards Liu Zheng's chest.
These Yellow Turban Army soldiers were prepared and had long understood that it was impossible to let Liu Zheng and others hand over the war horses, so their plan was to rob them in the morning.
Seeing that Liu Zheng disagreed, he took the lead and wanted to seize the initiative. As long as he directly killed Liu Zheng, the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers would not dare to act rashly, so that they could ask for all the war horses from Liu Zheng and his group of people.
As long as you give Liu Zheng the Yellow Turban Army a warning, these guys will probably submit.
But they never expected that Liu Zheng had been prepared for a long time. While the strong yellow turban man was slashing over with a knife, Liu Zheng quickly took a step back, and the steel knife quickly passed by Liu Zheng's ear. Liu Zheng could faintly hear the howling sound of the blade passing by.
"It's too much to deceive others. Xu Huang, don't show mercy, kill them for me!"
