Chapter 69 Help and Rescue (Chapter 1 to ~!)
Taishi Ci?!
When Wang Chen heard the messenger telling his name, he was indeed stunned.
For those celebrities in the Three Kingdoms, the name Taishi Ci is indeed not too popular, but it is incomparable to protagonists or bosses such as Lu Bu, Guan Erye, Zhang Fei, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Liu Daerduo, Sun Jian, etc., and even the famous "General Pan Feng" is not as good as the name of the famous "General Pan Feng". At least, it is much higher than a supporting role like Bian Xi.
Wang Chen only remembers that Taishici seemed to have met Liu Da'erduo... Uh, was Taishici following Liu Da'erduo or Sun Quan? It seems that he can't remember it very clearly, but Wang Chen can be sure that the other party is a general in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, or the one with a low level!
"Mr. County lieutenant?!"
Seeing that Wang Chen's expression was not right, Taishi Ci was a little puzzled and asked tentatively.
"Oh! Sorry, I have also heard of Taishi Ziyi's reputation. It's true that he is a handsome talent!"
Wang Chen came back to his senses and said to Taishi Ci without changing his expression, then glanced at Saeko Mushima behind him with a slight look.
It is obvious that Saeko Mushima, who now has a smile on her eyes, has known Taishi Ci, who has reported to her family for a long time, and has also heard of Taishi Ci's name, so she said the words that Wang Chen should not be surprised. Wang Chen also admitted that he was indeed a little surprised and asked his senior sister to "educate" the other party in the evening...
"The county magistrate has been too much!"
Taishici can't read the mind skills, of course he doesn't know what Wang Chen is thinking. He thought Wang Chen had really heard of him, and replied with some politeness and restraint.
Not to mention the situation after Taishi Ci, Taishi Ci is just a young man less than eighteen years old now!
Taishici, who had just entered the Donglai County Magistrate's Office as an official, knew that he had just become a little famous in Huang County because he had been practicing archery and horse skills since childhood.
This Yellow Turban Rebellion made Taishici known to the county magistrate of Donglai County and other officials, but because he shot and killed several Yellow Turban backbones, and even two Yellow Turban strongmen died at his hands. Now he served as a messenger to the county town that Wang Chen now occupied. Facing Wang Chen, who had recovered the county town from the Yellow Turban thieves, was no longer at the same level.
Now Wang Chen’s praise, Taishi Ci didn’t know that Wang Chen was actually a sincere praise. At most, he thought that Wang Chen knew that he was polite, and his attitude was a little restrained!
"Haha, Taishi Ziyi is modest!"
Seeing the restrained attitude of a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Chen also seemed more casual about Taishi Ci. He asked while saying, "After that, I am only temporarily taking over the position of county magistrate, why should Taishi Ziyi be so polite~!"
"No, no, the county magistrate, the county magistrate has heard that the county magistrate has recovered the county town. One of the tasks I came here this time is to formally appoint the county magistrate as the county magistrate of this county and bring people to resist the invasion of those Yellow Turban thieves!"
Taishi Ci shook his head and said to Wang Chen very politely.
Regarding Wang Chen's words, Taishici was not entirely due to the respect of the difference in official positions, but more admired Wang Chen for regaining the county town from the Yellow Turban thieves. When Taishici saw the Yellow Turban prisoners who worked hard outside the county town, they even found that the order in the city was quite good. The people and the village warriors were all covered with healthy rosy faces. If they had not seen many cleaned fire ruins and battle traces, Taishici could hardly believe that this was a county town that had been captured by the Yellow Turban thieves. You should know that along the way in the county town, Taishici had seen the tragic phenomenon of many villages on the road being attacked by the Yellow Turban thieves. It can be said that the corpses were spread all over the wilderness, and even the fields carefully cared for in the past began to grow weeds!
Therefore, when Taishi Ci met Wang Chen, in addition to the gap in his official position, his real respect for Wang Chen was due to Wang Chen's cleaning up the Yellow Turban thieves and protecting civilians!
"A mission? Officially accept me as a county lieutenant?"
Hearing Taishi Ci's words, he took the letter he handed over. Wang Chen opened the slightly yellow wax mark in his hand, then looked at the letter that looked like modern straw paper, and saw the seal of the county magistrate on it. The content was just to formally recognize his identity as an acting county magistrate, and to show that he would vigorously recommend his achievements to the court and formally appointed Yunyun. He couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, and then looked at Taishi Ci and said, "The rest is to rescue the county magistrate, right?"
"That's right! The county city was surrounded by Yellow Turban thieves. The thieves have now adopted the tactic of siege of the ant, and have to ask for help!"
Taishici's answer was not beyond Wang Chen's expectations, and he even had a hint of disdain in his heart.
In the letter, Wang Chen did not see the county lieutenant officially appointing a county lieutenant, but simply recognized the so-called "county lieutenant"!
Of course, the county town does not have the power to appoint a county lieutenant, at least it must be at the provincial level before it can be officially appointed. The best example is Liu Da'er. Even if the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended, he was still officially rewarded by the court. Generally speaking, he would have to be nominated in the county and then appointed by the state. The county magistrate of Donglai County was still normal.
But in the letter, he asked him to lead his troops to rescue the county town?
Now Wang Chen's troops are barely more than two thousand, but more than two-thirds of them are weak recruits. It is hard to fight the same number of Yellow Turban and Bandit bandits. It is not enough to go to the battlefields of tens of thousands of county towns!
Wang Chen held the letter in his hand and said nothing. Taishi Ci looked at Wang Chen with expectant expressions. Saeko, who was standing with Wang Chen, was silent, and the others were even afraid to interrupt. The situation on the scene became a little deserted for a moment. Everyone looked at Wang Chen, who could really decide whether to lead a team to rescue the county town.
After more than ten seconds, Wang Chen put down the letter in his hand, looked directly at Taishi Ci in front of him, and asked in a tone without any emotion: "Taishi Ziyi, can you tell me the current situation in the county town and the movements of the thieves?"
"Here!"
Hearing Wang Chen's tone, there was no clear intention of rejection, Taishi Ci breathed a little relieved and explained to Wang Chen the situation facing the county town: "After the Yellow Turban thief raised the anti-flag, he raged the entire Qingzhou under the command of Zhang Niujiao, who claimed to be the commander of the Qu Commander. However, Donglai County was not the head of Zhang Niujiao's thief invasion in person, but a commander named Bian Xi was the main general..."
...
Later, in the backyard of the county government, it was a courtyard where Wang Chen and Saeko Mushima lived.
Although this courtyard is not very good, it is probably not as good as that of Wang Chen before traveling through time. Most of the families in the countryside were already considered a very luxurious residence for the Han Dynasty (even in this incomplete plane world). After retaking the county town, it became the temporary residence of Wang Chen and Saeko Mushima.
Now that Wang Chen and Saeko Mushima came in and waved her hand to signal the servants to take them down, Saeko Mushima looked at Wang Chen in confusion, pouring tea and handing it over, and asked, "You agreed just now? You must know..."
"You know, I'm not in hand now and my training is poor, so I'm not suitable for sending troops, right?"
Hearing Saeko Mushima's inquiry, Wang Chen smiled, took a cup and drank a sip of tea before he said leisurely.
Regarding Wang Chen's words, Saeko Mushima's eyes had the meaning of "So you know" and was ready to listen to Wang Chen's explanation!
After talking to Taishi Ci just now, Saeko Mushima did not interrupt because of her maid, but she expressed her confusion about Wang Chen's final promise to Taishi Ci's request for help - Saeko Mushima couldn't understand Wang Chen's strength at hand. She defended the county town and Wang's Wubao and took it out to clean up the surroundings. Going to assist the county town is beyond her own strength!
"Saeko, if you think it is the best way to rescue the county town and face the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops!"
Wang Chen, who was sitting directly on the bed, signaled Saeko Mushima to sit on her thighs, and then asked seriously.
"Is that need to be said?"
Saeko Mushima just sat on Wang Chen's thigh, and was just hugged by Wang Chen's hand. When she heard Wang Chen's words, she raised her beautiful eyes and analyzed in an orderly manner: "Now, those soldiers have just been summoned and trained for a few days. A few qualified soldiers who have seen blood have no problem in defending the county. It is really not optimistic to use them for going out to fight!"
Wang Chen admitted the facts about Saeko Mushima's words!
Although Wang Chen has achieved good results these days, he has trained a group of qualified soldiers, but the number is only 500. The others are those young and strong who have recruited for less than half a month. It is probably no problem to guard the county town. If he takes those new recruits to fight against the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops besieging the county town... very good, this is probably the case of dying!
"Haha, Saeko, do you think I will lead people to the Yellow Turban Army?"
Wang Chen nodded, then looked at Saeko Mushima's serious expression and asked with a smile on her face.
"You mean..."
Saeko Mushima's reaction was also very fast. When she thought about getting to know Wang Chen, she looked at Wang Chen with some curiosity.
"Don't worry, this time I sent troops, I didn't have the idea of repelling the county city. It is of course a good thing to be able to successfully resolve the county city, but it doesn't matter if I didn't succeed. Just eat part of the Yellow Turban Army!"
Wang Chen didn't cover up anything and just told his plans.
You should know that Taishici just introduced the situation of the county town, and then Wang Chen was embarrassed and hesitated for a while before asking Taishici to accompany the army to help. He also explained the situation to Taishici in advance. The decision was to try to clear the county town as much as possible, but it did not mean that he had to clear the county town by giving a military order.
