Chapter 1 The Yellow Turban Strikes

In the first year of Zhongping in the Han Dynasty (AD 184), Meng Xia was in the middle of April.

Qingzhou Jinan Kingdom, Licheng Yellow River Ferry, as soon as it was dawn, a group of people were waiting to cross the river.

A ferry boat slowly approached from the opposite bank, but when it got close, the people present were shocked. They saw that the ferry boat was full of arrows, and the boatman was nowhere to be seen.

While everyone was in a panic, a bloody hand suddenly stretched out from the side of the boat, struggling to climb out of a bloody man who had been shot in the back, and shouted hoarsely: "I am the chief of Dingkou Pavilion in Qihe, please report to the county lord, More than 10,000 Yellow Turban bandits came from Pingyuan Kingdom, and they broke through Qihe City last night..." The words came to an abrupt end, and there was no sound.

...

Calendar prison.

The prison was dark and cold, and there was a lot of snoring in each cell. The prisoner was sleeping soundly on the hay.

A black, thick and ferocious jailer hurriedly beat the gong, and shouted with his voice open: "You killers, get up soon..."

The prisoners didn't know what happened, so they got up one after another, and the jailer said again: "The county lord has an order, all prisoners in the prison will be distributed with weapons, and rush to the city wall to defend the battle. If you kill a thief and make meritorious service, you can pardon his crime!"

The prisoner couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words, and everyone hurriedly gathered around the iron fence to ask questions.

The jailer kept his face dark and didn't respond. He just opened the cells one by one, and pushed the prisoners out brutally. Those with shackles and shackles were also untied, and they were driven out all at once. .

It was the turn of Prison A, but the jailer changed his vicious look just now, tiptoedly opened the prison, glanced at a sleeping figure inside, and said cautiously: "Brother Liu, wake up, something serious happened outside!"

Nothing happened.

The jailer swallowed his saliva, and was about to be called again, when suddenly he saw the person inside move his whole body, and said displeasedly, "It's so early in the morning to disturb people's dreams!"

The jailer trembled, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "Yellow turban bandits are here. Qihe County was captured yesterday. The county magistrate ordered me to release the prisoners, replenish the army, and prepare for the bandits. Brother, don't make things difficult for me."

Before he finished speaking, the man turned over and sat up, revealing his frowning and clear face. At the age of eighteen or nine, although he was dressed in a prison uniform and unkempt, he still couldn't hide his fierceness, but the jailer didn't know what was going on in his heart. It has turned the river upside down.

Yellow Turban Thieves, it turns out that this is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Ye sighed in his heart, just in troubled times.

It has been more than a month since he traveled here, but he has been imprisoned by the original owner and has been detained in a dark prison. He can only get some words from the mouth of the prison boss and the prisoners. He knows that today is the Han family. The number is Zhongping, and I don't know the rest.

But now it is clear that the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the feudal lords vying for the throne, and the Three Kingdoms stand together are exactly the era that later history books will talk about.

Liu Ye smiled wryly. Others have gold fingers in time travel, but he has nothing. However, the background of the possessed original owner is similar to that of Liu Bei. With great ambitions, there are elders in the clan to support and study, and he worships the famous scholar Lu Zhi as his teacher, and all the people he meets are future heroes.

And what Liu Ye admired since childhood were such heroic characters as Ju Meng and Ji Bu. In modern terms, he is an ignorant social gangster.

Seeing that all the prisoners in the prison had left, the jailer bowed to Liu Ye alone and begged, "Brother Liu, come out quickly. The county captain will send someone outside to take a roll call. If you go out late, I'm afraid you and I will eat it." I can't blame you."

Liu Ye knew why the jailer feared him so much. It was not because of the power of the clan. Although the Liu family in Licheng was also a powerful man with a large population, Liu Ye was not a strong member of the clan. His parents died early, and he had no place in the clan to make the jailer respect him. Three points, but the status of a ranger.

As a well-known ranger in Jinan, many of the young rangers in Jinan are willing to serve and kill for him, so the jailer has to respectfully call him big brother and dare not make things difficult for him.

Liu Ye did not embarrass the jailer. He had already been suffocated in the prison for a month, and he would not miss the opportunity to go out, so he walked out in straw sandals.

After leaving the prison door, Liu Ye felt a sense of murderousness rushing towards his face. He saw officers and soldiers in red Zen uniforms and black armor holding swords all around him. Prisoners were silent and waiting in line. Ask the prisoners, register their names.

Liu Ye didn't dare to make a mistake, so he quickly walked to the end of the line and stood still, waiting quietly.

Soon it was Liu Ye's turn. He was a leader of the Han army. He was a young man in his thirties. He had a dark knife face and a face full of vigor. When he saw Liu Ye, he glanced at him coldly and shouted: "Give me your name and age, where do you live?" Earth, what crime is there in your body, can you make a sword?"

Liu Ye made a bow and said truthfully: "Liu Ye, whose name is Shaoqing, is eighteen years old, lives in Yufuli, and was convicted of injuring a son of the Pei family in the east of the city."

At this point he paused, and said: "He is proficient in bow and horse, and he is skilled in swords and swords."

Hearing this, the team leader couldn't help but cast a deep glance at Liu Ye, and said in amazement: "So you are Liu Shaoqing. I heard your name a long time ago. I heard that on the day of Pei's wedding, you went to the door alone and injured dozens of people. , it is true!"

He was really surprised, this incident caused a lot of trouble in Licheng, the Pei family is a powerful family in Licheng, being beaten up and hurting dozens of people, it can be said that he lost all face, he thought he could do such a thing The person who is in the house must be Kong Wu's majestic man, but he never thought that he would be an ordinary young man, so he couldn't help but doubt it.

Liu Ye didn't dare to be complacent at all, and said coyly, "This is indeed what Ye did, ashamed, ashamed."

The team led the pen to write the records on the bamboo slips, but his face softened a little, and he said: "You are good at martial arts, and you just made meritorious service to atone for your crime."

After the registration and registering was completed, the officers and soldiers took the prisoners to the school grounds to receive weapons and armor. Liu Ye saw that not only the prisoners, but also many young men in coarse kudzu clothes were brought by the officers and soldiers. After distributing the weapons, they were organized into an army. Looking around, he saw that there were roughly a thousand people on the school grounds, which was just enough for a soldier in the Han military system.

Liu Ye received a piece of cloth armor that didn't fit well, and wearing it on his body could always guard against hidden arrows. He hesitated for a moment when choosing a weapon. The original owner, Liu Ye, used to be a teacher of a famous swordsman in Qingzhou. He was good at using swords and was able to defeat dozens of people. . However, in his previous life, he was the direct descendant of Li Shuwen, the Bajiquan sharp gun. His martial arts skills are not bad, and he is good at using big guns. Try your hand at the gun.

In the end, I chose a long lance that was convenient for me. I have to say that the weapons of the Han soldiers are very messy at this time. Although the prisoners were equipped with armor, they still looked like a mob.

Liu Ye gestured a few times with the long spear, and gradually regained the spirit of practicing big spears in the past. At this moment, someone came to his ear and said, "Brother Liu, you still remember my little brother."

Liu Ye looked back, only to see a short man with a scorpion head and a mouse head holding a ring knife, smiling and bowing to him. After thinking about it for a while, he had no impression of this man, and frowned, "You are?"

The short man showed disappointment on his face, and said: "Brother, a group of bandits came to Dongping Mountain the year before last and robbed and killed Hou Sheng in Dongping. You once called on the rangers in this county to go and kill the bandits. I will also go that day gone."

Liu Ye suddenly realized that this incident was true. Dongpingli and Yufuli were neighboring villages. Hou Sheng used to play with him in his early years. He was so angry that he led a group of rangers to level Dongping Mountain, and was awarded several thousand dollars by the county magistrate, but he still didn't have much impression of this man, and said with a smile: "I remember, thanks to my brother for helping me that day." , did not ask brother Gao's name?"

The short man looked pleasantly surprised, bowed his head and said, "Brother, it's good to call me Wu De."

Liu Ye nodded. At this time, the screaming ox horn sounded in the school grounds, and everyone rushed to the four walls according to the divided steps.

The team formed by Liu Ye and other prisoners was assigned to the east city wall. The city wall here was slightly broken and the terrain was relatively low. The prisoners could not help but complain, but Liu Ye kept silent. It really didn't give much confidence to the defenders. He glanced around alertly, imitating the appearance of officers, soldiers and veterans, hiding behind a battlement, holding a long spear in his arms and basking in the sun, humming comfortably.

After noon, the guards on the city wall became somewhat lax from the initial guard. Everyone was discussing in whispers, discussing how many troops the Yellow Turbans had, who was the leader of the bandits, whether the officers and soldiers had reinforcements, and whether the city wall could be held. , people panic.

Suddenly, someone on the city wall exclaimed, "Look!"

The defenders gathered around the city wall and saw a flying cavalry galloping down the city. Everyone knew it was the sentry cavalry sent by the county lieutenant. !"

There was a sudden silence on the city wall, and then there was an uproar. The defenders quickly got busy. The archers stepped forward with arrows and looked out of the city nervously. The prisoners of the mob also pursed their lips, clenched their weapons, and waited With the war coming.

"Follow the military regulations: those who retreat before the battle, those who abandon ordnance... cut!" The team leader patrolled the city with their swords, and read out the military regulations in a solemn voice.
