The county magistrate had been hiding in the city gate tower and looked like he was destined to fate. Suddenly, he saw the county magistrate walking in from outside, and his heart was shocked. He thought to himself that it was the Yellow Turban thief who had climbed the city wall, right? He asked tremblingly: "County magistrate, is it the Yellow Turban thief who climbed the city wall?"

The Yellow Turban Thiefs climbed the city wall?! The county magistrate said that the county magistrate was stunned, and then shook his head and said, "Empress, there are officers and soldiers coming from outside, defeating the Yellow Turban Thiefs besieged. Now their vanguard is calling you out to speak under the city."

"What, the Yellow Turban thief who besieged the city was repelled?" The county magistrate opened his mouth in surprise when he heard the news. He thought to himself: Those are tens of thousands of people, and they were easily repelled by the officers and soldiers. He asked quickly: "County lieutenant, which troops are coming?"

The county magistrate thought about it and replied: "The person who came claimed to be the pioneer of Jizhou, Taishici, must be the soldiers from Jizhou."

"Damn, what are the soldiers from Jizhou running to our Qingzhou?" Since I learned that the Yellow Turban Thief had retreated, the county magistrate, who was originally scared, has restored his authority to the point of being absent from Jizhou. "Let's go and take my official position to meet the vanguard from Jizhou."

The county magistrate and the county magistrate came to the chassis side by side and leaned down. Seeing the mountains of corpses piled up under the city, the county magistrate suddenly felt the rivers and seas between his chest and abdomen, and waves of things rushing straight into his throat. He could no longer bear it and lay on the chassis and vomited loudly downwards.

Taishici waited on the other side of the moat for a long time. Finally, he saw a person who looked like an official coming out. He was about to speak, but he saw the other party lying on the trunk and vomiting a lot. He couldn't help but look down on the person. He snorted heavily and cursed: "It's useless." He rode his horse and walked back.

When the county magistrate saw that the county magistrate vomited, he knew that he had seen the normal reaction of the corpses, he quickly ordered the person next to him: "Come on, bring some water for the envoy."

A yamen runner standing next to him heard the county magistrate say this, and quickly took off the water bag on his waist and handed it over. After drinking a few sips of water, the county magistrate finally regained a little bloody color on his face. He smiled wryly and said to the county magistrate: "I really didn't expect that this battle would be so tragic."

When Taishici returned to his army, another three thousand infantry had arrived. Some were camping and some were sheltering the captured Yellow Turban thieves. Seeing Taishici back, a military Sima hurriedly stepped forward and asked for instructions: "Pioneer, how to deal with these Yellow Turban thieves?"

According to his idea, Taishici would definitely order all of them to be killed. After all, this was done when suppressing thieves in the past. Unexpectedly, Taishici hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Send people to escort them outside the city to restrain the bodies. If it is hot today, if it is not buried as soon as possible, it may cause an epidemic."

"Sir, obey the order!" Jun Sima agreed, then turned around and arranged for the prisoners to collect the corpses.

Taishi Ci stood there for a while, and saw Zhao Yun's army approaching this side, so he rode his horse over.

When Zhao Yun saw Taishi Ci coming on horseback, he quickly asked the army to stop. When Taishi Ci came in front of him, Zhao Yun guessed the situation of the battle from the expression on his face, but he still asked with a smile: "Ziyi, what is the result of the battle?"

"Reply to the general," Taishici quickly replied respectfully: "Our army won a great victory, killed at least five thousand Yellow Turban thieves, and captured seven or eight thousand."

"It is said that there are tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves. You are slashing and killing you so hard that they are already seriously injured. Let's rest here for a night and go to chase and suppress the fleeing thieves tomorrow." After Zhao Yun said this, he saw from afar that the city was still closed. The defenders on the city were holding weapons and looked as if they were waiting for the battle. He pointed his hand at Tugu County and asked, "Ziyi, why the county magistrate here has not opened the city gate to greet us?"

After Zhao Yun reminded him, Taishi Ci remembered that when he just called the door, he saw an official in the city vomiting in a dark place. In anger, he turned around and came back. When he heard Zhao Yun say this, he replied with shame: "Go back to the general, the last general has never asked to open the city gate."

"Didn't you ask to open the city gate?" Zhao Yun frowned and asked back, "Why is this?"

Before Taishi Ci finished speaking, he suddenly heard many people shouting: "It's unfair, general, villain is unfair."

The sudden shouts of injustice attracted the attention of Zhao Yun and others. Xun You, who was originally two horses behind, hurriedly urged him to step forward and shouted at a team of soldiers under Taishi Ci on the roadside, saying, "What's going on?"

A Shi chief hurried forward and knelt on one knee to report to Xun You, "Report to the military advisor, the villain caught a group of Yellow Turban thieves who kidnapped the people. Unexpectedly, they were unwilling to surrender, so they shouted for justice there."

Xun You waved his hand to Shi Chang and said, "Bring them here, I will interrogate them personally."

Shi Chang agreed, then waved to his subordinates, signaling to bring the person over. After a while, more than a dozen people dressed in Zhuang Dian knelt in front of the horses of Zhao Yun, Xun You and others. Xun You looked down at the kneeling person and asked, "Who are you? Let me tell you the truth!"

One of the Zhuang Dings looked up at Xun You who was sitting on the horse's back and shouted, "Sir, the young man is wronged. The young man is called Cao Shiliu, who is the servant of the Caoman Master's house in Caojiazhuang. Because there was a Yellow Turban thief to break into the village, the master believed the rumors and said that there was no Yellow Turban thief. The villain had no choice but to knock him out and ran here with him. He was about to reunite with the wife and ladies in the city. Who knew that as soon as he got here, he was caught by several military officials as Yellow Turban thieves."

Xun You glanced at Cao Man lying on the ground not far away. Judging from his outfit, he looked like a rich man. When he was about to continue asking, he suddenly heard another woman's voice coming from beside him: "Dad!"

Then, he saw a young and beautiful woman running towards the man lying on the ground with her skirt in her hands. After she arrived at the man's side, she immediately squatted down, shook the other person hard, and shouted desperately: "Dad!"

The monks kneeling in front of Xun You's horse saw the woman crying beside Cao Man, and everyone showed a surprise expression. Cao Shiliu looked up at Xun You again and said excitedly: "Sir, this young woman is my lady. She can testify to us to prove that we are not Yellow Turban thieves."
