Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 16

Chapter 16 The Sharp Sword Was Unsheathed
Zhang Miao brought the prepared grain and half of the troops in Chen Liu City and Cao Cao to the Chang She, wanting to break Huangfu Song and Zhu Yao’s encirclement of the Chang She.

As a result, Chen Liu City became empty. For the sake of stability in the city, when Zhang Miao left, he specially arranged for Zhang Jie to defend the city, and stipulated that the city gate should not be opened before his army returned from now on to prevent the yellow-scarf bandits from dressing up as refugees and bringing danger to the city.

The city gates were tightly shut, causing more and more refugees to gather outside the city. From afar, they looked like they were about to charge into the city.

The situation outside the city was so tense, and the people inside the city were also panicking. Everyone was talking about the yellow change now. They didn’t know when the Yellow Scarf Army’s influence would affect Chen Liu. If that was the case, would the current defenders really be able to withstand it?

The hearts of the people dispersed. Normally speaking, any business would be difficult to do. However, the Zhang Clan Restaurant’s business was exceptionally good. The number of people who came to drink and buy alcohol was also increasing day by day. Perhaps it was because everyone wanted to live one day at a time. Wine had become the best way to vent their anger.

“Second Childe, the ingredients for making wine are starting to run out.” After Bai Tong received the report from the people below, she came to Zhang Chao’s study.

This was already the eleventh day since Zhang Miao left the city. Zhang Chao did not fully consider this problem. Originally, he thought that even if his elder brother left, he should be able to live as usual in the city. However, due to the increase in refugees, the city gate blocked all contact with the outside world, and the food that was originally purchased was cut off. Because the people in the city did not know when to open the city gates, they also calculated the limited food in their homes. As such, the problem of heroes drunk at the source arose.

At this time, Zhang Chao and country are discussing ways to solve the problem.

What Zhang Chao meant was to open the city gates and let a portion of the refugees in. At the same time, he could also let a portion of the merchants enter the city. However, this suggestion was indeed rejected by Guo Jia.

According to the meaning of country, once the city gate opened, it is impossible to only allow a part of the refugees into, and once other refugees see someone enter the city, then they will go crazy rushing to the city, at that time is really dangerous. This was equivalent to opening a hole in the mouth of a levee. There was a possibility of a large levee breaking.

Zhang Chao naturally knew that Guo Jia’s suggestion was correct. However, if he let all the refugees in immediately, he would no longer be able to guarantee the safety of the city. After all, the number of refugees outside had already exceeded the number of troops in the city by dozens of times. If anything really happened, it would be out of control.

“Master, in my opinion, there shouldn’t be any Yellow Scarf forces among these refugees. Otherwise, on the 11th day of the siege, I’m afraid they should have encouraged the people to rush to the city gate. Such a thing didn’t happen. It seems to have proven something.” Country saw zhang chao anxious, then said his long thought of the problem.

“Oh. Without the Yellow Scarf Army, you can let the people into the city.” To country, zhang supernatural is 100% trust. Having an understanding of history, he knew very well that this person in front of him had never made any major mistakes in his life.

“No.” Who would have thought that Guo Jia would shake his head. This time, he didn’t wait for Zhang Chao to ask, “After all, the number of refugees is dozens of times that of the defenders in the city. If they enter the city, they still don’t have that much food to eat. You said that people can do anything to survive. If that’s the case, beating, smashing, robbing and burning are all possible. At that time, the situation will really be out of control.”

“That’s right.” Zhang Chao said with great enlightenment. Thinking in the heart, there is a powerful strategist is indeed good, these things are unexpected at the moment, with country is different, someone to remind yourself, also don’t be so tired.

“In that case, aren’t we helpless?” Understanding the situation is one thing, but not to solve it is another thing, zhang chao asked country.

“There is still a way, but it depends on whether master has courage or not.” Country is in turn a smile, looked at zhang chao said.

“Courage? Haha, I don’t have anything else. I just have courage. Tell me, what should I do?” Zhang Chao laughed loudly. He had lived many lives in this life, but at worst, he would die. Moreover, with Guo Jia’s methods, even if he recognized himself as the master, he would definitely not let himself take too big a risk.

Looking at Zhang Chao’s confidence, the smile on Guo Jia’s face was even more shocking. “Good, that’s so. Please send the master to the city. As long as they can display their might at the appropriate time, they can act as a deterrent to these refugees. In this way, with the help of the City Defense Forces, the situation in the city can be stabilized.” Country said confidently.

In the past few days, he had been running into the courtyard. In his eyes, Zhang Rui and the others’ training was practically the same day. Especially after they started cavalry training, his imposing manner made him feel even more surprised. With such an army, once it appeared in front of others, its deterrent effect could be imagined.

Country’s suggestion let zhang chao pondered for a moment, then firmly nodded and said: “good, that is, sharp blade, is sooner or later will be unsheathed.”

Just as Zhang Chao had made up his mind, a Heavenly Eyes Intelligence female member walked in from outside. She carefully came to Bai Tong’s side and said something.

Bai Tong’s eyebrows tightened. She first waved back the Heavenly Eye members and then said to Zhang Chao, “Second Childe, there’s just news from the city gate that a yellow scarf army is moving towards Chen Liucheng, and it’s not far away from the city.” Right now, the city gates are in a state of turmoil. Guard General Zhang Jiejing is already doing the worst possible thing on the city gates. ”

“Oh, hehe, so it seems like the sharp blades aren’t bright anymore. Alright, let these yellow-scarf bandits dye the blood of the Zhangjiajun army flag.”

After hearing this, Zhang Chao Feidan did not show the slightest bit of fear. On the contrary, it was Zhenglong’s battle intent. However, some bandits really didn’t care about him. Thinking about Zhang Jiajun, he had expended all his effort, invested a lot of money, and used the best equipment to create an iron army. However, he was still very confident in dealing with some untrained civilians who only relied on their courage to do things.

Zhang chao did not show the slightest bit of fear, this also let country can’t help but praise in the heart, such a person is the real person who does great things, do things courageously, brave and scheming ah.

As for Bai Tong, she did not react at all. Perhaps, in her heart, Second Childe had always been like this. She was filled with confidence when facing anything. There was nothing in this world that could defeat him.

Outside Chen Liu City.

The refugees from Ying Chuan and Ru Nan had surrounded the four city gates. They were shouting for the guards to open the city gates. Otherwise, they would rush in.

The city gatekeeper, Zhang Jie, was extremely anxious at this moment. When satrap Zhang Miao left, he handed over the safety issue to him. Now, it seemed like there would be a problem. If the city was flooded with refugees, he really didn’t dare to imagine what it would look like. At that time, he would probably be punished as a crime of doing things unfavorably.

Just as Zhang Jie was at a loss and the soldiers in the city were panicking, a unified voice suddenly sounded in his ears. “Rumble …” His voice was neat and neat. From afar, it sounded like someone was making a sound.

“Heavens! Look, what is that?” A guard soldier who was in charge of observing the city saw the spectacular scene in the city. He stretched out his finger and had a shocked expression on his face.
