The gangsters of the Guan clan gathered their clansmen and captured the county seat.
The origin of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is actually the Jizhou Yellow Turban that was broken up before.
At the beginning of the Zhangjiao Yellow Turban Uprising, the main source of troops on the battlefield in Jizhou came from the three states of Hebei, Xu, and Qing.
The rural situation in the Han Dynasty was serious. After the defeat in Jizhou battlefield, the scattered Yellow Turbans fled for their lives and returned to their hometowns.
It turns out that the Yellow Turbans of Jizhou went north and occupied the Taihang Mountains in the north of Changshan State, controlling the land and counties at this point.
The Xuzhou Yellow Turbans withdrew to Taishan County in Yanzhou. In a few years, they would be defeated by Ying Shao, the prefect of Taishan.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans also returned to Qingzhou. Nearly one million people took control of Beihai and Donglai counties. They were scattered in the counties of the two counties and became farmers again.
Only the Yellow Turbans of Qi State in Jinan and Le'an still occupied the mountains as kings, cultivating land while separatist rule, and Qingzhou was in chaos.
There are three main reasons why the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans can survive at present.
One is the previous inventory. When the Yellow Turbans swept the world last year, the Yellow Turbans attacked powerful people from all over the country and robbed a lot of food. These foods are still there today.
Later, Xia Houyuan defeated Sima Ju and Xu He and seized a large amount of grain and grass supplies, which helped Cao Cao a lot.
The second is to plunder the place. Although the Yellow Turbans are flat, they still have the remaining power. The trees fall down and the hozens scatter. The scattered hozens still need to eat and drink. After the Yellow Turban tribes return to their original places, they will inevitably cause trouble to the place.
This is the case in Qingzhou. Nowadays, everything is in chaos and everyone is in danger. The people of Qingzhou either rely on the powerful, the clan, or the Yellow Turbans. These three forces are not allies and often attack and plunder each other, especially the Yellow Turbans.
The third is farming.
You read that right, the Yellow Turbans are indeed farming.
The Han nation is the nation most dependent on land. For thousands of years, countless heroes and heroes have left their names on this land.
The world praises the great achievements of the heroes, but forgets that there are more farmers who have not written their names in the history books and are diligently taking root in this land.
Countless dynasties and hundreds of millions of people have integrated with this land they love and eventually returned to dust.
No one will remember their names, and history books will not care about their lives and deaths.
But don’t forget that every Chinese descendant, tracing back to their ancestors, is the son of farmers.
What is the origin of the Yellow Turban Soldiers?
They are peasant rebels who were unable to survive after their land was plundered by powerful and evil officials.
The farmers of the Han nation know best the consequences of sitting on their hands and eating nothing.
Outside the city of Guangxian City, platycodon straws were piled on fertile fields. Fires burned into the sky, and piles of dung were mixed in the soil.
The Yellow Turban soldiers poured water into the fields, kneaded it with their hands and stepped on it with their feet, and constantly mixed the plant ash and manure.
No one cares if they step on someone else's shit with their bare feet.
Because this is the best field fertilizer.
The clan thieves in Guangxian County are quite special. It is not just people from the Guan clan who occupy this place.
When Guan Hai came back, he brought tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans with him, so the main force of the people in Guang County were still the former Yellow Turban soldiers, but their leader was the leader of the Guan family.
When Guan Yu's army appeared on the horizon, the Yellow Turban soldiers in Guangxian County, who had been busy in the farmland even in winter, were stunned and stared blankly into the distance.
"what is that?"
"It seems like a large group of people."
"Why do so many people come to Guang County?"
"I don't know, could it be Leader Xu?"
"Go and report it to the leader!"
The distance was too far, and I could only vaguely see blurry figures, and I didn't know whether they were friends or foes.
Some people went back to the city to report, but most people didn't move.
They didn't believe that anyone would really fight in the winter, nor did they believe that someone would attack them. After all, where could the enemies in Qi come from?
As the largest force in Qi State besides Xu He, the Yellow Turbans in Guangxian County have spent a year peacefully.
Rather than letting them believe that the incompetent governor in Linzi City would send troops to attack them, it was better to believe that the alliance between the leader of the Guan family and Xu He had broken down, and that the two parties were going to fight.
However, when the black line on the horizon got closer and closer, and when the people and horses on the opposite side slowly came closer, everyone saw the official and military-style armor.
The sharp spear shone with an icy sheen in the cold wind, and a tall flag was erected, with the word "Guan" written on it with flying phoenixes!
"Official troops!"
Following a sharp roar, the yellow turban soldiers working in the fields were stunned.
When the hoofbeats of the galloping horses at the front shook the earth, people instantly woke up from their dazed state.
The officers and soldiers are really the officers and soldiers!
In an instant, all the Yellow Turban soldiers trembled and rushed out of the field. They didn't even have time to put on the shoes on the edge of the field, and ran towards the city with their bare feet covered in mud.
However, Guan Yu just rode a horse and swarmed in with five hundred cavalry.
Looking at the yellow scarf soldiers covered in mud and with frightened faces, Guan Yu frowned slightly and said to the messenger next to him: "Send the order, no one is allowed to kill an unarmed person."
"General, they are all Yellow Turban soldiers, wait until they get their weapons..."
The herald hesitated slightly.
"Um?"
Guan Yu glanced over with cold eyes.
Just looking at him, the herald felt cold all over his body and said quickly: "Wei!"
"General Guan has an order not to kill defenseless people."
The herald turned around and announced loudly.
Guan Yu led five hundred cavalry like an awl to the city gate. The city gate didn't even have time to close, because there were countless yellow turban soldiers outside who had no time to enter.
"Who dares to come to Guang County and run wild?"
At this moment, a group of people suddenly emerged from the city, led by a burly man, waving a long sword in his hand, and came towards the horse.
The person who came was exactly Guan Hai. The person who came to the city to report the news told him that someone was coming. When Guan Hai came out, he happened to see hundreds of war horses rushing towards the city gate. Guan Hai was furious and led his men and horses to kill them.
Out of town.
But when he rushed out of the city gate and saw the long-bearded, red-faced man coming towards him in the wind, he felt his hair stand on end and almost fell off his horse without losing his balance.
"Guan...Guan Yu?"
Guan Hai's scalp was numb, why was this murderous god coming?
Although Guan Hai only reported his name on the battlefield, Guan Yu did not say his name.
But afterwards, Guan Yu's fame for his unparalleled bravery spread throughout the world, and Guan Hai naturally knew who the red-faced man who almost killed him that day was.
Unexpectedly, I ran back to Qingzhou from Jizhou, and did not even go back to my hometown in Le'an. Instead, I came all the way to Qi to join my distant relatives, and I still met this guy.
Could it be that this man is his own destiny, and God wants him to kill him?
"Guan Hai?"
Guan Yu squinted his eyes, Guan Hai was really here.
"Why are you here?"
Guan Hai's tone became much weaker. As the most brave general of the Yellow Turbans, he was almost killed by this red-faced man. If the two sides hadn't stopped fighting in the end, his body might have turned into mud.
Guan Yu sat on the horse, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword upside down behind his back, stroking his beard with his left hand, and slowly said: "Guan is transferred to Qingzhou. I am an officer and you are a bandit army. You should come to fight for it."
"You want to kill them all?" Hearing Guan Yu's words, it aroused Guan Hai's ferocity. He even ran to Qi State. Guan Yu still wouldn't let him go?
"Ha ha ha ha."
Guan Yu laughed loudly and said: "No, I am here to give you a way to survive."
"Give me a way out?"
Guan Hai's tone did not change, but his fists clenched a little tighter.
He felt a little humiliated.
"good."
Guan Yu didn't even realize there was something wrong with his words, and continued: "Now my fourth brother is transferred to Qingzhou governor to govern a state. Before I came, my fourth brother specifically told me not to kill all of you, but to recruit and surrender."
Lord, if you know this, please dismount and accept the surrender, lest all life in this city be destroyed."
"What if I say no?"
There was blazing anger in Guan Hai's eyes. It's true that I can't beat you, but that doesn't mean you can humiliate me like this!
"Then I'll beat you until you surrender!"
Guan Yu clamped his horse's belly, dragged his long sword backwards, and headed straight for Guan Hai.
The tall horse came rushing like a hurricane.
Ordinary horses can't carry Guan Yu at all, and the Qinglong Dao plus his weight reaches more than 220 kilograms.
Therefore, Guan Yu's horses are carefully selected war horses from the northern grasslands.
Although it is not as good as the red rabbit, black rabbit, Lu and other peerless horses, it is still a superior breed and worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I saw the maroon horse galloping with its hooves raised, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of Guan Hai. The cold light of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword dazzled my eyes, as bright as a silver crescent.
Guan Hai gritted his teeth and raised his sword horizontally, trying to stop the incoming sword.
Zheng!
Only a clang was heard, the sound of violent metal collision.
Guan Hai's sword firmly blocked Yanyue's sword.
Guan Yu's eyes narrowed. He only used one hand. It was not surprising that Guan Hai raised the sword with both hands to hold it, so he immediately changed his attack, switching from chopping to cutting, and swept towards Guan Hai's fingers.
Then he saw the Yanyue knife scraping out flames and splashing on Guan Hai's blade, and the harsh friction sound was like it was about to pierce a person's eardrum.
"ah!"
Guan Hai roared, released his left hand to let Guan Yu's sword strike, and at the same time he ducked to the right.
The Yanyue knife passed by his side with a terrifying strong wind, and was about to hit the horse, but Guan Yu stopped it in time and forcefully brought the knife back.
Is this the end of the knife?
Guan Hai was frightened.
He thought he couldn't do the easy job of sheathing the knife.
What is the inertia of a knife weighing several dozen kilograms?
It's not easy to wave, let alone stop this inertia.
However, Guan Yu could do it.
Guan Hai felt creepy and terrified.
He was originally very afraid of Guan Yu and had a shadow in his heart. Now he is even more afraid.
But Guan Hai was also a man, so he gritted his teeth and continued to chop with his sword.
The raid by the officers and soldiers left Guangxian without any defense, and the city gate had not been closed yet. If he turned around and fled back to the city, the officers and soldiers would be able to enter the city in the blink of an eye, so he had to delay for time.
Seeing Guan Hai swipe at him again with his sword, Guan Yu was not afraid and held the sword in one hand to block. There was another clang of gold and iron, and there seemed to be a green dragon roaring on the long blade, and a tiger and a tiger roaring in the wind.
Within twenty or thirty moves, Guan Hai was at a disadvantage and struggled to hold on. At the fortieth move, Guan Yu suddenly changed his move and used an upward thrust.
This change of move was something Guan Hai didn't expect. He heard a cry and the long knife was picked up and fell to the ground.
It was time for Guan Yu to chop him into a slap and hit Guan Hai on the shoulder, knocking him off his horse.
Guan Hai struggled to straighten up, lying on the ground and looking at it, he felt his whole body shaking. He lowered his head and looked at the cracked tiger's mouth and white palms, and said with a bitter smile: "I lost, I want to kill or behead you, please obey me."
It’s convenient.”
Even though his horse didn't run away, it was just beside him, but Guan Hai didn't have a weapon in his hand. If he got on his horse and rode the horse to run away, the few seconds the horse would exert its force would be enough for Guan Yu to kill him three times, so Guan Hai knew very well.
, if he escapes, he will definitely die.
Guan Yu glanced at the city gate that was slowly closing not far away, and chuckled: "You are a man, it's a pity to stay here, go with me."
Guan Hai shook his head: "This is my Guan clan, and they are all my clansmen. I will not surrender."
Tribe?
Guan Yu raised his head and looked at the city tower. There were crowds of people on the city tower, and there were faint arrows emerging from the female wall. He couldn't help but frown and asked: "Are you sure they regard you as a clansman?"
Guan Hai raised his head and saw the head of the Guan clan in Guang County, who used to call his nephew very affectionately on the city tower, standing on top, looking indifferently at the bottom of the city. The two looked at each other, and the clan leader grinned and gave an order.
