Among the servants who escorted the Cao family's mother and daughter, there was an elderly family member who had served the Cao family for three generations. He had been traveling around all year round and was a knowledgeable person in the Cao family. At this moment, he could not help but frown and said, "General Anton Zhao? Who is this? Why has the old man never heard of it?"

Before going to war, Han Zhan specially found Emperor Xian of Han. Not to mention the Cao family far away in Qingzhou, even the civil and military officials in Yedu City, the number of people who knew it was very limited.

Cao Qiuping ignored these things. She hugged her mother and said excitedly: "Mom, have you seen it? It's the official army, the official army. As long as they come, we don't have to be afraid of the Yellow Turban thieves anymore."

"Miss, that's not necessarily the case." After hearing Cao Qiuping's words, the old family immediately poured a basin of cold water on her: "Have you never heard of it? The thieves have been like combs, and have soldiers have been like combs? The officers and soldiers have caused harm to the common people, which is even more powerful than the Yellow Turban Thieves." He turned his head and looked at the two carriages filled with softness, and sighed softly, "It seems that these things can't be saved."

"Money is something outside of the body." Cao Qiuping said disapprovingly: "If you cannot save your life, what are the uses of these things to us?"

Zhao Yun, who was leading the army, naturally saw this convoy of three carriages, and hurriedly called Taishi Ci who was following him: "Ziyi, the people in front of him seem to be fleeing. Go over and ask, where are they from?"

Taishici quickly replied, "The last general will take the order!" After that, he led a team of people to the convoy of the Cao family's mother and daughter.

When the convoy was more than ten steps away, Taishi Ci stopped his mount and asked loudly at the convoy: "Where are you fleeing people from where you come from? Have you ever seen the Yellow Turban Thieves?"

"Return to the general," Cao Qiuping saw the general who came and spoke kindly and looked very handsome, so she plucked up her courage: "My mother and daughter from Caojiazhuang, so when a Yellow Turban thief attacked, she left Zhuangzi and prepared to go to the city to take refuge. Who knew that halfway through the way, she listened to the people who escaped from the city that the Yellow Turban thief was besieging the city. In order not to fall into the trap, I ordered the coachman to change his route and prepare to go to Jizhou."

When Cao Qiuping came out of the carriage, Taishi Ci couldn't help but feel her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but secretly praise in her heart: "What a handsome woman. If she could marry her, she would be satisfied." For a moment, she was reluctant to turn her eyes away from the other party. Cao Qiuping noticed Taishi Ci was constantly looking at her, thinking about what was going on with this general, and kept staring at her, and quickly turned her head aside.

The team leader on the side saw Taishi Ci's misconduct so much, quickly pulled his robe gently and reminded in a low voice: "Pioneer, this woman has answered your question."

"Oh oh oh," Taishi Ci, who was in a state of loss of soul, suddenly woke up when he heard his subordinates' words and continued to ask: "Do you know how many people there are in the Yellow Turban Thieves?"

"I don't know!" The mother and daughter of the Cao family met the fleeing people on the way, and only then did they know that Tugu County was besieged by the Yellow Turban thieves. It was too late to escape. How dare they ask how many Yellow Turban thieves there were? So when he heard Taishi Ci's question, Cao Qiuping immediately shook his head and said, "I was also on the way to the county town. When the fleeing people mentioned this matter, they were afraid that the fish would cause disaster, so they ordered the coachman to turn around and head towards Jizhou."

"Jizhou?!" Hearing Cao Qiuping mentioning them again that they were about to go to Jizhou, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why does this young lady want to escape to Jizhou?"

"I heard that the current Jizhou patriarch is kind and righteous and treats the people well. It means that the people are living and working in peace and contentment under the rule, and there are no Yellow Turban thieves causing trouble." Cao Qiuping replied: "If I want to avoid the Yellow Turban thieves, I have to go to Jizhou for a while."

Hearing the beautiful woman in front of him praise Han Zhan so much, the soldiers around Taishici were all honored. Taishici waved his hand at Cao Qiuping and said, "This little lady, the army is about to head to Tugu County. You can move the vehicle aside and don't block the way of the troops."

My hometown, Cao Fu, thought that he had encountered the army in Jizhou and could not save his car of things. He was thinking about where to take his wife and the lady to take refuge after the things were robbed. At this moment, he was surprised when he heard Taishi Ci say this and stayed there for a moment.

Seeing that the Cao family stood there without moving, the team leader thought they had not heard what Taishi Ci said clearly, so he urged him to come forward and come to Cao Fu, and said politely: "Old man, move your carriage to the side of the road, so as not to block the army's way."

"Little...小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小

At this time, Zhao Yun and his army had already arrived close. Taishi Ci quickly met him and walked with Zhao Yun. At the same time, he repeated what Cao Qiuping said to Zhao Yun. After hearing this, Zhao Yun frowned slightly and then asked: "Why, the escort we sent has not come back yet?"

Taishi Ci shook his head quickly and said, "I haven't come back." After a moment of pause, he took the initiative to say, "Since you know that the Yellow Turban Thief is ahead, why not let the last general lead 5,000 troops to find out what happened."

Zhao Yun considered that Taishi Ci was the vanguard, and it was his duty to open the road and meet the water to build bridges, so he nodded and agreed. After Taishi Ci took his five thousand soldiers and horses away, Zhao Yun called a team leader and ordered: "Go and invite Deputy General Huang and Military Commander Xun to come here."

The small Tugu County town is now surrounded by tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves. Countless Yellow Turban thieves carried the wooden ladder that they had temporarily laid, shouted and rushed over the moat that was above the knee in front of them, put the ladder on the city wall that was only more than ten feet high, and then climbed up with hands and feet.

Although there were only more than 300 county soldiers in the city, from county magistrates to ordinary people, they knew that once the city was broken, it would be a result of both jade and stone burning. Therefore, as long as the young and strong people could go up the city wall, they all went up to the city wall to assist the official army in defending the city. Seeing the Yellow Turban thieves put the ladder on the wall, they cried and climbed up. Although everyone was frightened, they still plucked up their courage to throw the wooden rocks down and smash the Yellow Turban thieves on the ladder.

Fortunately, there were no bows and arrows among the Yellow Turbans, so they could not cause too much damage to the officers and soldiers guarding the city. Therefore, the thieves who were climbing the ladder were smashed down by wooden rocks, and the bodies under the city were gradually increasing. The county magistrate held a sword and shouted loudly on the city wall, encouraging the officers and soldiers and soldiers.

But the county magistrate hid in the city gate tower and shivered, and kept chanting in his heart: "How come there are so many Yellow Turban Thieves? When will they retreat?"

Taishici was worried that the Tugu was wrong, so he ordered the infantry to move slowly behind him and took two thousand cavalry first. When they came to a mile away from the city, he saw Tugu County in the distance, densely covered the city like ants, as if fierce fighting was being started. Seeing this, Taishici couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had not arrived late, and the city had not been captured by the Yellow Turban Thief.

Taishici raised the spear in his hand high and shouted loudly: "Array!"

With his order, two thousand cavalry quickly lined up into ten rows, each with one hundred cavalry. Seeing that the cavalry had already been arranged, he waved his spear forward and shouted loudly: "Charge! Defeat them!"

After the order was issued, the cavalry began to move forward slowly. They clamped the horse's belly with their legs, controlled the horse's speed, and held the spear in their hands forward and tilted forward.

The person who was commanding the siege was Qu Shun. He heard the sound of horse hooves like thunder in the back. He turned his head and saw a cavalry rushing towards the location of the city. He quickly called his deputy, Zhangba, and asked him to lead three thousand people to stop the rushing cavalry. After Zhangba received the order, he immediately led three thousand Yellow Turban thieves to meet the enemy.

These Yellow Turban thieves were all farmers who had just put down their hoes and had no combat power. If the opponent had come with dozens of cavalry, they might be able to stop them. But the formation of two thousand cavalry pressed over like a wall, which immediately made many people lose their souls. The bandits in front wanted to retreat, but the ones behind were still squeezing forward for some time, and the formation became chaotic for a while.

When the Jizhou cavalry began to accelerate the charge, some of the fast-reacting Yellow Turban thieves immediately threw away the weapons in their hands, turned around and fled to both sides, hoping to avoid the charge of the cavalry.

When the cavalry ranks and the Yellow Turban thieves collided, the two rows of Yellow Turban thieves standing in the front were knocked away by war horses. The yellow Turban thieves with broken bones flew out like kites with broken strings, smashing countless people in the back row. The yellow Turban thieves who were still standing in front of the cavalry were pierced by sharp spears.

In this case, let alone the mob Yellow Turban thieves, even the regular army could not hold on when encountering the Jizhou cavalry. After the cavalry rushed into the ranks of the bandits, they were like a red-burned steel knife cutting cream, easily drilling through the Yellow Turban thieves, causing the bandits to collapse instantly.

Seeing the companions who intercepted the officers and cavalrymen, they suffered heavy losses in an instant. The Yellow Turban thieves who were still besieging the city were immediately disorganized. Someone shouted: "The officers and soldiers' cavalry are coming, and we can't kill them, so run away quickly!"

The few bandits who escaped first were killed by the little leader, but they could not resist more and more deserters. Their escape triggered a bigger escape, and even some small leaders began to run back. Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves who had completely collapsed were like frightened rabbits, fleeing back desperately. In the chaos, the big leader and the coach Qu were no longer able to suppress the deserters, but were instead carried away by the retreating crowd or knocked to the ground.

The cavalry led by Taishici followed the defeated soldiers and chased and fought relentlessly. The bandits threw away all the things that hindered their lives, including weapons, and only hoped that they could run faster than their companions so that they could have a chance to escape.

Although Taishici commanded cavalry, he still had no ability to keep the other side behind in the face of the Yellow Turban thieves who fled all over the mountains and fields. After chasing more than five miles and capturing thousands of Yellow Turban thieves, he ordered the Jin to withdraw his troops.

When he returned to the outside of Tugu City, under the walls between them, the corpses were piled up like mountains, and the air was filled with an unforgettable strong smell of blood. He came to the city gate alone and shouted loudly at the city: "The pioneer of Jizhou, Taishi Ci, is here, and the officials in the city came out to answer."
