Zhang Fei released his Dharma, and Zang Ba showed off his Xuanwu military formation again, and another earth-shattering fight ensued.
Of course, this fight was just an act. It looked lively, but in reality it was nothing serious.
Among the Yellow Turbans, besides Zangba, there was no other third-level master, so I couldn't see anything fishy. I just felt that my Qu Shuai was really powerful, and he could fight on par with this big black man.
The two of them didn't do much acting, after all, Zang Ba was injured.
After acting for a while, Zhang Fei pretended that he couldn't beat him and roared: "You thief, we will stop here today and fight again tomorrow."
With that said, he withdrew the Dharma image and returned to the formation.
Zang Ba waved his hand and let go of the siege, letting Liu Bei's troops leave.
When Liu Bei and the others were leaving, and the Yellow Turbans were wondering why they were allowed to leave, Zang Ba suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
All the guards couldn't help being shocked: "Qu Shuai!"
Zang Ba wiped away the blood and signaled that everything was fine.
"That Heisi is really powerful. If he doesn't stop, I won't be able to hold on anymore."
"Stop provoking them and let them go."
Seeing what Zang Ba said, everyone said nothing. It was obvious that Qu Shuai was no match for him. If he stopped him, wouldn't he be courting death?
Take the top of your head?
Not to mention that Zang Ba led a group of Yellow Turbans back to Mount Tai. After Liu Bei and the others left Mount Tai, they did not continue their journey. They also needed to rest and replenish their food and supplies along the way.
At present, the only place that can replenish food and grass is Taishan County.
Now the group went straight to Taishan County.
At this time, there were several famous people in Taishan County.
Bao Xin, Yu Jin, Zhuge Liang and his father Zhuge Gui.
Zhuge Gui was the magistrate of Taishan County at this time.
At this time, Bao Xin was conquered by General He Jin and was promoted to the rank of Cavalry Commander.
The reason why he was in Taishan County was because his family was from Taishan County. At this time, he was recruiting troops in Taishan under the orders of He Jin, and Yu Jin was one of his recruits.
After the recruitment was completed, he originally wanted to return to Luoyang, but the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, so he stayed in Taishan to help Taishan County resist the Yellow Turban siege.
Yu Jin was one of the five great generals of Cao Wei later, so it goes without saying that he was very capable.
His commanding ability is extremely strong, and his martial arts are not weak either.
The third-level cultivation is stronger than Zang Ba, which is why Taishan County can withstand Zang Ba's attack.
The battle between Zhang Fei and Zang Ba was earth-shattering. Yu Jin, who was in the county, was naturally aware of it, but he did not leave the city just to be safe.
When Liu Bei and others came to the county city, Bao Xin, Yu Jin and Zhuge Gui all came to the city.
Just kidding, Taishan County is in turmoil at this time. How can we just let an army enter the city?
After strictly checking Liu Bei's military symbols and identity, and confirming that they were correct, Liu Bei and the others were allowed to enter the city. Of course, they only allowed Liu Bei and the others to enter the city with a small number of troops. The large troops still had to camp outside the city.
Liu Bei and the others didn't feel dissatisfied either.
If it were them, they would do the same thing. This is what a qualified general should do.
Liu Bei led Chen Yuan and two hundred personal guards into the city. After some pleasantries, they arrived at the mansion of the county magistrate.
Along the way, Chen Yuan was secretly sizing up Zhuge Gui. To be honest, Chen Yuan was still very curious about Zhuge Liang's father, Zhuge Gui.
Because there are so few records about this person in history, only a few strokes.
Zhuge Gui, whose courtesy name was Jungong, was the magistrate of Taishan County in the late Han Dynasty and died early.
That's all.
As for abilities, there is no record at all.
Of course, if someone can be a county magistrate, his ability is certainly not bad.
Now Chen Yuan is thinking about a question, whether he can trick Zhuge Gui away.
Because if Zhuge Gui can be deceived, what does it mean?
This means that Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun are likely to be packed away.
And if Chen Yuan remembers correctly, Zhuge Liang was three or four years old at this time.
Tsk, Chen Yuan was very excited at the thought of being able to develop Zhuge Liang, a famous figure throughout the ages.
Chen Yuan's behavior of constantly looking at others finally caught Zhuge Gui's attention, but Zhuge Gui was not angry.
Instead, he smiled gently at Chen Yuan: "Zi Chu, why are you always looking at Gui? Is it possible that there is something wrong with what Gui is wearing today?"
When Chen Yuan saw that he had been discovered, he smiled sheepishly: "Brother Jungong, don't be surprised. The main reason is that I have always heard of Brother Jungong's name. Now that I saw the real person, I was so excited that I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed."
Zhuge Gui could see that Chen Yuan was not telling the truth, but that he was flattering him. If he went deeper, it would appear that he was too ungraceful.
Therefore, Zhuge Gui smiled cheerfully and said: "Zi Chu is too praised."
After saying that, he asked everyone to sit down, and then asked Liu Bei about their purpose.
Liu Bei said directly: "Zhuge Juncheng, I was ordered to go to Beihai to attack the Yellow Turbans and break the siege of Kong Beihai. I passed by Taishan County and fought against Zang Ba from Taishan County not long ago. However, the opponent was outnumbered. Fortunately, I
The second brother and the third brother are brave enough to do nothing for each other, so I want to replenish food and grass in your county. I wonder what the commander-in-chief wants?"
Yes, Liu Bei was indeed ordered to defeat the Yellow Turbans and relieve the siege of Beihai.
Logically speaking, the imperial court should solve Liu Bei's food and grass problem.
But now that the Yellow Turbans were spreading all over the country, the imperial court was powerless, so it gave Liu Bei the power to prepare grain and grass in the counties along the way.
According to the imperial court's order, Taishan County must indeed provide food and grass.
But here comes the problem. The food and grass in Taishan County are not brought by strong winds, and they have to face the siege of the Yellow Turbans. How can they take out the food and grass so easily?
However, everyone is a figure in the scene, so naturally it is impossible to refuse bluntly.
No matter how you say it, Liu Bei's status is no longer ordinary now, and he also has court orders in hand, which gives him some face.
However, Zhuge Gui did not speak directly, but looked at Bao Xin: "Captain Bao, how much food and grass do we have?"
Bao Xin could be regarded as a man with both civil and military skills. When he heard Zhuge Gui ask him about the amount of food and grass, he knew what Zhuge Gui meant.
If Zhuge Gui really wanted to give it, he didn't need to ask for his permission.
Because I am not an official of Taishan County, as the county magistrate, in the absence of the prefect, I can naturally decide the affairs of the county with one word.
When I consulted myself at this time, it was obvious that I didn’t really want to give.
To be honest, it's not because Zhuge Gui doesn't want to give. In fact, Taishan County still has to face more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans, and there is really not much food and grass.
Is there any food in Taishan County?
Of course there is.
However, the government treasury is indeed running low, and most of the food is in the hands of powerful officials in the county.
Although Zhuge Gui also wanted to help Liu Bei, the Zhuge family had been honored by the Han Dynasty for generations, so it goes without saying that he was loyal to the Han Dynasty.
It's just that the landlord's family doesn't have any surplus food.
