Taishici and Kong Rong, with their troops, continued walking along the official road. After walking less than five miles, they suddenly saw more than a dozen officers and soldiers on the side of the road, escorting dozens of ragged people, walking forward.

Ziyi, you sent someone to ask. Kong Rong couldn't help feeling compassion when he saw the people and quickly said to Taishi Ci: What did these people do? Where are the officers and soldiers going to take them?

The subordinates sent by Taishici quickly came back to report: When answering the words of the two adults, these are all remnants of the Yellow Turbans and are ready to be taken to the camp to execute them.

What, these people are going to be executed? When Kong Rong saw that there were women and children in the crowd, his pupils couldn't help but shrink. He frowned and thought for a while, and then said to Taishici: Ziyi, look at the women and children among them. Even if they are the remnants of the Yellow Turban, they can't just execute them all without asking any questions.

After saying this, Taishi Ci and Kong Rong immediately asked: What should we do?

Let the officers and soldiers hand over all these people to us. Kong Rong resolutely said: As long as we take them together, we can save their lives.

Taishici knew about this kind of thing, and if he only sent his men to do it, he would definitely have a tough time. So he personally urged him to come forward, come to the team of soldiers, and asked loudly: Who are you leading the team?

A person with a certain appearance stood up and asked Taishi Ci: Which part of you are from, and what are you doing here?

We came from Yecheng and escorted the angel to Jicheng to pass the imperial edict to General Gongsun. Taishi Ci pointed at the head of the name and asked: Which part of you are from?

It turned out that you went to Jicheng to pass the imperial edict to my lord. After hearing Taishi Ci's words, Shi Chang couldn't help but smile: I don't know that I have offended you so much, so please forgive me.

There is no need to say these polite words. Taishi Ci waved his hand at Shi Long and said: My master wants this group of people, I wonder if you can give up?

When Shi Chang's face heard Taishi Ci say this, he showed a embarrassed expression on his face. The people he caught were prepared to take back to the camp to receive a reward. If he gave this man who was about to go to Jicheng to deliver the order, his bounty would be gone.

While he was hesitating, a purse suddenly fell in front of him. Shi Chang bent down and picked up the purse on the ground. When he looked up, he saw that it was thrown by an official riding on a horse. He weighed the weight of the purse, bowed and bowed, and said respectfully: Thank you for your reward!

Seeing that the money bag had already reached Shi Chang's hand, Kong Rong asked coldly: Since the money has been obtained, then you can hand it over to us, right?

Yes. Shi Chang nodded a few times and ordered his men to hand over the remnants of the Yellow Turban to this adult who came from Yecheng.

Seeing Taishi Ci's troops and horses trying to accept the people, a sergeant quickly said to Shi Chang in a low voice: Shi Chang, if we hand over all the remnants of the Yellow Turbans to this adult, then our rewards will be ruined.

Shi Chang shook the heavy purse in his hand and said in a disdainful tone: The rewards are much more than those in the camp. I will invite all my brothers to drink later.

Seeing that the squad leader seemed to have a lot of money in his purse, he stopped insisting. Instead, he took the initiative to hand over the remnants of the Yellow Turbans to Taishici and others, and turned around and walked away.

When the Youzhou soldiers left, Kong Rong turned over and dismounted, stood in front of these people, bowed and said to them: All the elders, it's okay, you can go home.

Unexpectedly, when those people heard Kong Rong say this, they suddenly became panicked. An old man knelt in front of Kong Rong, kowtowed repeatedly and said: Sir, please save us. If we go home now, it will not take long before we will be captured by those damn officers and soldiers as remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, someone felt someone pulling the clothes on his back hard and coughing heavily. The cough woke the old man up. He remembered that the cavalry in front of him were also officers and soldiers? Isn’t he seeking death when he said that? When he thought about it, the old man was immediately scared and sweated in a cold sweat, kneeling on the ground and trembling, not daring to say another word.

Fortunately, Kong Rong did not notice these details. After listening to the old man, he turned around and asked Taishi Ci: Ziyi, what do you think about this?

Lord Taishi Ci heard the old man's words and knew that he was very reasonable. Although Kong Rong spent money to buy these people from the Jizhou soldiers, if they were put home, they might be captured by another group of Jizhou soldiers and sent to the camp for rewards. Maybe they would not even be able to save their lives. Thinking of this, Taishi Ci hurriedly said to Kong Rong: I think it's better to bring them with me so that they will not suffer any disaster. After we return to Jizhou, we will find a proper place to resettle them.

However, if we bring these people with us, our march will be greatly slowed down. In order not to let the people suffer any further, Kong Rong wanted to bring these people with us, but he felt that it would affect the itinerary and seemed a little hesitant: in this way, it would delay the issue of going to Jicheng to issue an order.

Don’t worry, sir. Seeing Kong Rong so indecisive, Taishi Ci smiled bitterly and then said to him: This time, the decree was to denounce Gongsun Zan, and there was no difference between getting started sooner or later.

This is true. Kong Rong felt that there was some truth to Taishi Ci's statement. Anyway, it was almost the same as delivering the imperial edict to the people early or late, so he said relievedly: Since that's the case, take these people with you. Ask them if they were hungry and order the soldiers to get some dry food to fill their hunger.

In this way, more than 40 people were added to Taishici and Kong Rong's team. According to the cavalry, they could reach Jicheng within a maximum of two days, but because there were women and children among the people, the march was severely slowed down. According to Taishici's calculation, it would take at least five days to arrive at Jicheng. Fortunately, the soldiers were carrying enough dry food, so there was no need to worry about eating all the dry food and starving on the way.

After walking on the road for five days, I finally saw the outline of Jicheng. I even saw people waiting outside the city gate from afar. Kong Rong looked at the crowd in the distance and said to himself: I wonder if it was Liu Youzhou or Gongsun Zan who came out of the city to greet him.

Taishi Ci looked away for a while. Although he couldn't see it very clearly, he said firmly: The person who was greeting outside the city was Gongsun Zan, not Liu Youzhou.

Ziyi, you can see clearly so far? Kong Rong couldn't help but be surprised that Taishi Ci could see clearly that the person greeted outside the city gate was Gongsun Zan at such a long distance.

Sir, look, there is a military force arranged outside the city, and the banner is single. Taishi Ci analyzed to Kong Rong: If Liu Youzhou travels, it will definitely be mainly officials and the people, and there will definitely not be so many soldiers. Therefore, someone who concluded that the person who greets you outside the city must be Gongsun Zan. When he arrived near the city gate, he came forward to greet him was indeed Gongsun Zan. Only then did Kong Rong believe that Taishi Ci's analysis was correct.

Taishici and Kong Rong, with their troops, continued walking along the official road. After walking less than five miles, they suddenly saw more than a dozen officers and soldiers on the side of the road, escorting dozens of ragged people, walking forward.
