Chapter 29 (1/2)

Although the Imperial Court advised farmers to teach mulberry trees and forbid population migration, a person who wants to leave his hometown 50 Li has to ask the government to issue a document. But now the war is in chaos, and the people want to hide in the city. As a result, there are fewer pedestrians on the road, and there are still a few teams of hungry yellow scarf thieves passing by occasionally.

At this time, several figures appeared on the road. They were dozens of villagers, some of them old and young, with dust all over their faces. They didn't know that they had traveled dozens of miles to get here. They are afraid of the Yellow turban thieves, so they seldom move during the day. They only walk in groups when it is near evening. However, due to the drag of old people and children, they can only walk 20 or 30 miles a day.

”Is it near Licheng?”

”It should be here. There are few yellow turban thieves along the way. Other counties can easily see small groups of yellow turban thieves.”

”It seems that the news of Licheng's victory over the Yellow turban bandits on that day should be true. My God, we are saved this time.”

Several young men's faces were excited, and the old men and children behind them were also happy. Although they were old and inconvenient, they still insisted on walking sticks.

After walking for a period of time, the not majestic outline of the city appeared in front of the people, but Licheng was indeed different from other cities, with three doors open. You should know that the Yellow turban bandits are rampant in eight prefectures, and the bandits are rampant in Qingzhou. The city gates are closed all day long for fear of being mixed in by a few fish who have escaped the net. It is rare for Licheng to open the gate like Licheng.

However, as it was getting late, the soldiers near the gate saw that they were going to pull on the ropes. Dozens of villagers rushed to the city, shouting: ”don't close the gate, we'll all go into the city.”

It happened that Xu Zang came to the head of the city. After seeing this group of people, he asked in a loud voice: ”this is Xu Zang, the chief of Licheng. Why are you here?”

Because of his meritorious battle, Xu Zang follows Liu Ye in battle, so he has been promoted to Shi Chang by him. At the moment, he is wearing leather armor and hanging an iron sword around his waist.

The leader of the old man came forward trembling: ”this general, the little old man and his party are from qingqiuli, Yangqiu county. I heard that General Liu Ye's army broke down the Yellow turban thieves, protected the territory and the people, and secured a happy land in Qingzhou. He came to seek shelter. General wanwang took him in.”

Although the old man was old, he was not very knowledgeable. Seeing Xu Zang as a small head of the Han Army, he even called him general. In fact, there is no one in the whole city who can be called a general. There is a saying that ”three stinking generals, the top Zhuge Liang”, is the lowest general position.

Xu Zang was very pleased, but he still said, ”uncle, are you all from the countryside? Don't mix in the yellow scarf thief. A few days ago, it was because of the Yellow turban thief that song xianzun died. ”

The old man shook his head in a hurry: ”general, what are you talking about? I'm the son of a good family. How can there be thieves? If we find out who dares to collude with the yellow scarf thieves, I'd like to guarantee with the head of the head.”

Xu Zang nodded slightly and looked at the dusky sky: ”that's right. Come to the city. Some days ago, the bandits made trouble and killed many residents in the city. Now, there are many empty houses left for you to live in.”
