Chapter 120 Belonging to each other through dance

The ambush arranged by Wang Xiu was of no use in the end.

As the gates of Duchang suddenly opened, Guan Hai took the initiative to accept the ropes and followed Zhong Ping. He was extremely obedient and did not resist at all.

The Yellow Turbans under his command began to have some disturbances, but Guan Hai and his bodyguards had great authority among the Yellow Turbans, so the disturbance did not last long.

Now that the commander-in-chief has surrendered to the imperial court, what reason do we have to resist?

Most of the Yellow Turbans had this idea. They were in the camp every day and knew that the army was running out of food, so they pressed forward desperately when attacking the city.

How many of them are truly religious? In fact, they are just trying to get a mouthful of food, or their family members are trapped in the army, and they have no choice but to do so.

They didn't have a clear idea about Guan Hai's surrender to the imperial court. They just heard from the young man standing next to the commander that after surrendering to the imperial court, the imperial court would provide them with food for the officers and soldiers.

The young man is good-looking and makes people feel friendly when they see him. He is like a boy in a fairy painting. They know that what the commander says is "reason", so people who listen to the commander are determined not to deceive them. .

The idea of ​​​​the Yellow Turbans is that simple.

So these yellow scarves imitated Guan Hai and dropped all their weapons on the ground.

The old and young, women and children mixed in among them had no idea what was going on on the field, so they could only open their eyes wide and look for family members who could give them a sense of security.

They did not dare to act rashly, and their eyes eagerly searched for the faces of their relatives.

When I saw it, I felt relieved.

Continuing to hold the child and support the elder, he stood cautiously in place. When the team moved, he was wrapped in it in confusion and headed to the front of who knows where.

Zhong Ping always stood with Guan Hai.

He was a little worried.

"Young Master."

Liu Bei got off his horse and walked to Zhong Ping's side.

Cao Hong intended to be the first one to enter the city, and Liu Bei naturally would not compete with him. Therefore, although he was able to enter the city first due to his position, he paused for a moment, gave way, and invited Cao Hong to come forward.

When he arrived at the city gate, he saw that Zhongping was still not coming in. He was a little confused at first, but when he saw Zhongping's position clearly, he understood.

Zhongping was worried that the people in the city could not rest assured. Seeing that the Yellow Turbans had lost their weapons and defenses, they would want to shoot a group of people first, which would not only weaken the Yellow Turbans' power, but also save the city's food and fodder burden.

So Zhong Ping just stood with Guan Hai, firstly to show his sincerity to Guan Hai, and secondly to make the city a little afraid, and he would use the rat to avoid the enemy.

"Why don't you enter the city, Lord Fu?"

Tanehira retracted his gaze from the archers at the top of the city and showed an uneasy smile.

"Bei made an appointment with the young master to enter the city together. How dare you break the agreement?"

Liu Bei smiled and answered. He did not point out Zhongping's concerns, and his words were slightly ridiculing.

Zhong Ping understood, knowing that Liu Bei understood his thoughts and was willing to protect these old and young people with him.

His heart warmed, he smiled at Liu Bei and turned to ask Guan Hai.

"There are so many Yellow Turbans that it is impossible for them all to enter the city. I think we can let the old, young, women and children enter the city first, and the remaining soldiers who cannot accommodate them can camp at the foot of the city for the time being."

Guan Hai bowed his head in response and replied: "It's all in accordance with the Shaofu. I just ask the Shaofu to be kind to my brothers and give them a mouthful of rice."

Zhongping asked Taishi Ci to go into the city and explain his arrangements for the Yellow Turban soldiers. After a while, when he saw the archers at the top of the city withdrawing, he entered the city with Liu Bei and Guan Hai.

He was worried in his heart. It seemed like a good thing to be able to surrender the Yellow Turbans peacefully, but where could he find food and grass to feed these more than 100,000 people?

Duchang City has been besieged for such a long time, so it must be short of food and grass. It is unrealistic to rely on the city's supplies.

Fortunately, Guan Hai wanted to return to Xudu with him, and he would not be able to stay in Duchang City for long. However, the food and grass needed along the way also required some planning.

Besides...

Zhong Ping glanced at Guan Hai, who was silent and following beside him.

He really promised this person that he would send him to see Zhang Yan and send him into the court.

This matter is actually not difficult. Guan Hai has soldiers under his command. When he arrives in Xudu, Liu Xie will definitely be offered a good official position to win him over.

only……

I guess I will be caught between the little emperor and Boss Cao again, and I will no longer be a human being inside and outside.

Zhongping sighed, and for a moment he thought in a wicked way:

If one day I can take this Ma Zhe from Brother Tong and give it to Uncle Niu, can the other party really rely on the power cultivated in the court and the people at the bottom to build the Huangtian world he wants?

Not to mention anything else, as long as it can shake the nobility and imperial rule...

Hey, what am I thinking?

I'm here to survive, not to behead.

What is this idea that only a rebel leader has?

Zhongpei quickly pulled back his increasingly dangerous thoughts. These things were not what he should consider. He also knew that according to the current productivity level and historical process, this kind of thing was simply impossible to happen.

He quickly recited "I am a loyal minister of the great Han Dynasty" several times before suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"But Master Zhong, Mr. Liu is in person?"

Sun Shao and Wang Xiu had been waiting behind the city gate for a long time. When they saw Zhong Ping and Liu Bei approaching, they hurriedly greeted them. They first saluted, then turned around and led the way for them.

The two of them were really relieved now. After all, Guan Hai was tied up by himself, and he only brought a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people into the city who had no power to restrain a chicken. Even if he had any conspiracy, he would not be able to use it.

.

"Exactly."

Zhong Ping nodded.

For some reason, he always felt that the way these two people looked at him was a bit strange.

Sun Shaoxin said that he had heard that the young master was not very old, but today he saw that he was too young and had not even grown a beard.

The image in his mind of a young man with broad robes and sleeves, an old man seeking the country, was instantly shattered into pieces.

Sun Shao could only comfort himself by saying that at least the idea of ​​"Piao Piao and a fairy" in his mind was correct.

"The prince is in the county government office. It is difficult for me and I to make the decision regarding the placement of the Yellow Turbans. What do you think, the young man?"

"In accordance with the emperor's edict, I naturally want to see Mr. Kongfu."

Zhongping smiled slightly, but he hesitated in his heart, if these two people really couldn't decide...

Could the corpse hanging at the top of the city really be Kong Rong?

He didn't believe it, but now was not a good time to ask about it.

Zhong Ping just put aside his doubts and planned to make some inquiries after meeting Kong Rong.

Before meeting Kong Rong, Zhongping probably pictured a serious and upright old scholar in his mind.

In the end, when they actually met, they found that the other person was much younger than he thought. He did have a strong bookish air about him, but he didn't seem to be a rotten scholar. However, he was extremely particular about etiquette.

As soon as Zhong Ping entered, Kong Rong greeted him warmly. It was obviously a polite greeting, but the other party abruptly brought the topic to Zhong Ji and Cai Yong.

First, let’s trace the historical inheritance of Henan farmers, and then talk about Cai Yong’s current situation.

Zhong Ping listened in confusion, feeling that Kong Rong knew the origin of their family better than his kindred family members. It felt like he was dreaming of going back to the college entrance examination swearing-in ceremony, listening to the leaders reminisce about high school life, and then pouring chicken soup.

Although he couldn't help but feel drowsy, he still managed to cheer up and praised each other with Kong Rong every sentence.

The three Liu Bei brothers saw Zhong Ping's predicament and couldn't help laughing for a moment.

Liu Bei intended to share some of Zhongping's burden. Occasionally, while Kong Rong was reciting poems and chanting scriptures, he also tried to change the subject and bring up the placement of the Yellow Turbans.

Kong Rong didn't realize it, and his interest became high. He patted the table and started singing. While singing, he started dancing.

Zhongping was frightened, and now he became energetic.

Seeing Kong Rong dancing closer and closer, Zhong Ping's body tensed up and he couldn't resist, and he almost said "Don't come over" written on his face.

He and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu looked confused and turned their attention to Liu Bei for help.

What etiquette is this?

I'm tone-deaf and uncoordinated!
