Chapter 141 The Worried Zhou Qian

Huainan County should not be called Huainan County now, it should be Jiujiang County. Originally, Huainan County was renamed after Yuan Shu occupied Huainan.

The history of this Jiujiang County is not short. Ever since Qin Shihuang divided the world into thirty-six counties, this Jiujiang County has always existed.

The county seat of Jiujiang County is Shouchun, which is also a very famous place. If we put aside the future history, the land is also fertile, and it is a battleground for the military.

But here in the prosperous times, as a county there is no problem at all, but in this chaotic world is different.

The surrounding itself is an open and flat land, and there is no terrain to provide defense. It can only make up for this by building a city.

But in this way, Shouchun is also placed in a dangerous place, which is really not a good place for military affairs.

The state government of Yangzhou is also in this Jiujiang, and the governor of Yangzhou is also the governor of Jiujiang County.

This week Gan himself is not a capable person, so letting him manage such a large area is completely an operational error of the Dahan government, but if there is one advantage, it may be that he is obedient.

Now Zhou Gan is also in a hurry. Those Yellow Turban soldiers have been besieging this county for a day, but the reinforcements are still

The old one didn't come.

There were rumors of the rise of the Yellow Turbans all over Yangzhou before, but there was nothing big about this Shouchun.

At the beginning, Zhou Qian was more fortunate, thinking that the Yellow Turban soldiers were afraid of the majesty of their prefect, so they did not dare to march rashly.

There are also about 50,000 elite generals in Shouchun. These are almost the foundation of Yangzhou, and the prefectures and counties under their hands are also overwhelmed.

Zhou Gan first saw that the disaster in Shouchun was not serious, so he sent out 45,000 of these 50,000 elite soldiers, leaving only 5,000 defensive troops.

The soldiers I sent out had just left for a few days, and a yellow turban soldier who appeared out of nowhere had already surrounded Shouchun. This time, the yellow turban army on the opposite side had dispatched almost 50,000 troops to besiege him. .

Zhou Gan could not pass the news now, and even if it was passed, it was estimated that there would be no way for them to do anything.

It seems that there are also capable people in the Yellow Turban army, and this matter of besieging Wei and saving Zhao is also used very appropriately, but this is hard work for Zhou.

"Inspector, there are too many Yellow Turban soldiers outside, or we should retreat."

Aside, a strategist with a mustache cupped his hands and asked.

see him

Coming to this matter is also a dead end, and it is still the most important thing to protect one's own life, so that those rebels cannot be caught.

I heard that those Yellow Turban soldiers were murderous, and they treated ordinary people well, but they showed no mercy to their officials.

Every time the city is broken, the first to suffer are those in power.

"Retreat? Are you talking nonsense? If you retreat without a fight now, then the court will convict you, will you bear it?"

Zhou Gan looked at the mustache and said angrily.

If he escapes now, the imperial court will definitely not let him go, but if he doesn't escape, there is still a chance of survival.

Although there are still 5,000 soldiers in the city, and all of them are more elite than outside, but there are no generals available.

Those capable generals have already gone out to conquer the rebels, and how many have nothing to spare to stay in the city? They also place great importance on merit.

"This one doesn't dare, but if the general really wants to fight, hurry up and fight over there. The food and grass in the city can't support it for long now."

The counselor sighed and said.

Now is the busy season for farming. Although the drought is coming, there are a lot of grains outside the city that are about to mature, and it is also the time when the city is most short of food.

The food in the city is still enough now, but after a while

The time will not be sure, so the situation in the city is still quite critical.

"My lord, the Yellow Turban rebels outside have already blocked all four doors. Are we still not sending troops?"

Under his stage, a general asked.

"Send troops? If you lead troops in front, then let's send troops, okay?"

Zhou Gan squinted at the general and said.

"This."

The general hesitated for a moment, but there still seemed to be some fear in his eyes, and he stepped back.

"Who of you dares to lead the troops out? No matter how many people are left, they will all be under your command."

Zhou Qian stood up again and said loudly.

But after he finished speaking, he looked around, but no one spoke, they all looked at each other.

Zhou Gan could only shake his head, even though he was the provincial governor for a week, but this power was not very big, and few generals under his command listened to him.

Those generals who went out for reinforcements, in fact, were going out for reinforcements. In fact, they all brought soldiers to guard the property of their own families, and they had little control over the lives of the people.

Moreover, his subordinates also have no useful talents. Whether they are generals or advisors, they are actually mediocre talents who cannot be used for much use.

He knows this, but he can't change it, because behind these people, most of them are standing with their families, leading one

Things that move the whole body.

Zhou Gan is different. In fact, he was just a small guard in the palace at first. Later, because of some things, he met Zhang Rang, one of the ten permanent servants, and came to this position by his own efforts to shoot rainbow farts.

At present, about one-third of the prefects of the prefectures, the state shepherds, are under the Shi Changshi's subordinates.

Zhou Gan was also very worried, sighed slightly, and said, "I will also go to the tower to take a look, and see how powerful the Yellow Turbans outside are, making you timid as a mouse."

After Zhou Gan finished speaking, he returned to his mansion, put on a suit of armor, and came to the city wall accompanied by some officials.

The city wall of Shouchun is still quite high, about 30 meters long, so it is basically impossible for those Yellow Turban soldiers to attack.

So they also chose to besiege. There are also insiders in the Yellow Turbans. Knowing that the food in Shouchun City can only last for five days.

As for the soldiers scattered outside, it would take three days at the earliest to get back and forth, but this is still under the condition that no one is intruding, but now that the Yellow Turbans are in full swing, if you want to get out of the battlefield, the fastest It takes ten days.
