After leaving the prison, Xiao He said with a smile and cupped his hands.

"Sir, how can you learn to flatter me? I don't know how to play hard to get. I just think that such a person should not be deceived by Zhang Jiao. It would be better if he can recognize Zhang Jiao's true colors. If he is still obsessed, I will I will not do the act of letting the tiger go back to the mountain!"

After saying the last sentence, a sharp look in Ling Xiao's eyes disappeared in a flash.

He is not a nice guy, if Pei Yuanshao really can't be used by me in the end, then he doesn't mind letting Gao Chong deal with him directly, which is why he let Gao Chong follow Pei Yuanshao secretly.

Seven days later, Pei Yuanshao was walking on the street disheveled and disheveled. At this time, Ling Xiao's territory had already had an additional [-] people.

Seven days was enough for Xiao He to properly resettle the [-] people.

And with Xiao He and Liu Bowen, the two soul masters, the Yellow Turban Army's power to confuse the people is not enough, and it can be easily dispelled.

After all, these common people were not transformed into Yellow Turban Army by Zhang Jiao himself, so it is not too difficult to get rid of them.

And the awakened people are naturally grateful to the lord who saved their lives.

And for being able to live in such a paradise, I feel lucky from the bottom of my heart. I am glad that I have met Ling Xiao's army, and I am even more grateful that there is such a city lord as Ling Xiao who sincerely works for the welfare of the people!

At this time, the streets of Xuanming City were full of neatly dressed people, not a single person in rags.

It is not difficult for Xiao He to ensure enough food, clothing, housing and transportation for these [-] people. There is no way, the resources of Xuanming City are too rich, and this population cannot bring any resource pressure to the territory.

The people on the street looked at Pei Yuanshao who looked like a beggar with some curiosity, but because of his strong aura, they would avoid him far away and dare not approach him.

Pei Yuanshao looked around and felt that he was out of place with the people around him, so he ran to a street with few pedestrians and stood there blankly.

Looking at the people coming and going around, he could feel that the smiles on their faces were from the heart.

Perhaps, the lord did not lie to himself.

This idea flashed in my mind, but then I denied it myself.

Even if he is really a good official, but a great virtuous teacher will never do that kind of thing that angers others as he said!

"Uncle! Are you hungry? I'll give you a steamed stuffed bun!" Pedestrians around would run away when they saw Pei Yuanshao, but there was one exception.

At this moment, a little girl was standing less than one meter behind Pei Yuanshao, and she was holding a snow-white bun to Pei Yuanshao in her small white hand.

Pei Yuanshao was a little overwhelmed and didn't know whether to answer or not.Although he hasn't eaten for seven days, it's just a drizzle for him who has broken through the limit of his body three times, and he can't even talk about being hungry.

But for some reason, he couldn't refuse the little girl's kindness, so he didn't say no directly, but just stood there blankly.

"Uncle is worried about eating my steamed buns, so I don't have any steamed stuffed buns to eat? Don't worry, uncle, I still have a lot of steamed stuffed buns at home. My mother said that we must thank the lord for his kindness, otherwise we might be killed by those bosses." Bad uncles with yellow scarves killed."

"us……"

Pei Yuanshao subconsciously wanted to say that we would not massacre the people, but although he would restrain his subordinates, he also knew that the quality of the Yellow Turban Army was generally not high, and most people rebelled angrily because they were oppressed by those corrupt officials.

It is also because of the long-term oppression that there are too few people who can still maintain their hearts, and many of them have been psychologically distorted, becoming afraid of the strong and bullying the weak!

It's just that these people were all brainwashed by Zhang Jiao to become die-hard fans of Taipingdao, but their beliefs will change, but their nature will not change.

Maybe in places where I can't see, there are really Yellow Turbans who will do such things as massacre people.

After all, an uprising requires a large number of troops, and it is common for people to be forced to enlist in the army. When the people resist, these fanatical believers of the Taiping Dao don't mind wielding a butcher's knife to kill these foolish people who do not cooperate with the great cause of the uprising!

Because in their minds, these people who don't want to join are thieves who help the evildoers and don't deserve to enjoy the benefits of a peaceful and prosperous age.

So he didn't say what he had said, Pei Yuanshao took the steamed stuffed bun, knelt down and asked, "Can every household in your family eat such a big stuffed stuffed bun?"

"That's right, we can eat steamed stuffed buns every day, what's so strange about that, and my second uncle was recruited by the lord, and their family can eat meat every day."

"Our family can also eat meat every day, and my mother said that this is only temporary, and when Dad comes back from work, we can also eat meat all at once."

The little girl said naturally.

"What does your father do?"

"My father built houses for everyone. Those beautiful big houses are very comfortable to live in. Many of them were built by my father. The lord will send money to my father."

"Thank you for the steamed stuffed bun. Uncle has accepted it. You should go home quickly, lest your mother be in a hurry."

Pei Yuanshao stood up and said with a smile.

The little girl nodded, said goodbye and ran away.

Pei Yuanshao took a bite of the bun.

Hmm~ meat stuffed, delicious!

Why did he follow General Tiangong in the uprising, in order to feed the common people, if he was not forced by the court to survive, who would be willing to take the risk of losing his head to rebel?

However, did General Tiangong really use forbidden techniques to summon natural disasters in order to win the world?

Maybe he didn't even realize that his loyalty to Zhang Jiao had begun to waver, at least he wasn't as sure as before.

As Commander Qu of the Yellow Turban Army, he naturally knew the details of Zhang Jiao, and he knew very well how powerful Zhang Jiao was.

If it is said that he can summon a disaster that affects the whole world, Pei Yuanshao believes that Zhang Jiao has the ability to do it.

only……

Forget it, this city lord can build such a paradise, and he can see that he is a person who is sincere for the people, so let him be loyal to him for the time being. If he finds out that General Tiangong was framed by someone later, it will not be too late to leave then.

Besides, he knew very well that despite the easy-talking appearance of the city lord, if he refused to pledge his allegiance, he might not be able to leave here alive.

And he himself is not a person who pretends to be loyal in order to survive. Once he decides to be loyal, he will never do anything that harms the interests of the territory. This is his principle.

"Come out! I know your lord will definitely send someone to follow me, take me to see your lord."

Pei Yuanshao didn't actually feel that someone was following him, he just guessed that Ling Xiao would send someone to follow him.

"follow me."

Gao Chong suddenly appeared beside Pei Yuanshao from nowhere. When he saw this fierce man appear, Pei Yuanshao's heart trembled.

In the past few days, because Gao Chong needed to guard Pei Yuanshao secretly, Ling Xiao did not continue to send the Indestructible Legion to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Army in the villages and towns near the territory have been wiped out, and it is easy to be discovered by the people of the court, and the leader responsible for attacking Jianye City has been arrested. Sexually harassing Jianye City, they don't have the strength to attack Jianye City at all.

This also made the prefect of Jianye City feel relieved. In the past few days, he heard too many news about other cities being captured by the Yellow Turban Army and all the officials in the city were killed. This scared him enough!

As for how he knew the news of other cities, it was actually very simple, flying pigeons to pass on letters.

As a world of high martial arts, the carrier pigeons in this world have naturally been strengthened, and it is not a big problem to drive [-] kilometers per hour.

However, it is not easy to breed pigeons. Even as the prefect of Jianye, he did not breed many pigeons.

Therefore, he only set up strongholds in a few nearby cities, and he has no idea about the situation outside Yangzhou.

Although I don't know why the Yellow Turban Army who attacked my city is so weak, but whatever it is, the most important thing is to save your life!

But recently, the city lord has become anxious again, because the city is about to run out of food.

Chapter 113 3000 million catties of grain and grass

In fact, although Jianye City has a lot of grain, it also has a large population. With a population of nearly [-] million, tens of millions of catties of grain are consumed a day. Although there are fertile fields in the city, it is just a drop in the bucket.

However, there were Yellow Turban soldiers wandering around outside the city day and night, and the people could not go out of the city to collect food at will.

And if he sent an army escort, it would give the Yellow Turban Army an opportunity. If they took the opportunity to attack Jianye City, which was empty of troops, then he would be numb.

In addition, in the past few days, the scorching sun hangs high every day, and even at night, it feels like being in a hot pot.

The rice fields in the city are not bad, but they are not much worse, and they can't provide much food at all.

If this goes on like this, even if you don't starve to death, you will die from heat.

"My lord, an army is coming from outside the city!"

The city lord of Jianye was lying naked on a cool chair in his courtyard, with two guards fanning wildly beside him, when a scribe dressed as a housekeeper came to the city lord and whispered.

"Ok?"

The mayor sat up abruptly.

"Is the imperial court's support army here? Follow me to meet you." After speaking, he wanted to get up.

"Don't be impatient, my lord. This army only has more than [-] people, and according to my observation, it is not a reinforcement sent by the imperial court."

"Then who are these troops?"

"Could it be that the Yellow Turban Bandit found support again?"

The city lord's heart trembled, and he asked nervously.

There are already hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans outside this city, and more and more Yellow Turbans are constantly gathering.

Although most of them are ordinary people with little fighting power, but with the various buffs of the Taiping Dao, the fighting power is not much worse than that of the regular army of the imperial court. At least five against one can still fight.

If it weren't for the advantages of the city and the lack of any generals on the opposite side, with his 10,000+ regular army and 30 reserves, he might not be able to stop this group of yellow scarf thieves.

"Don't worry, my lord. It's not a yellow scarf thief. It should be a private soldier raised by a noble family outside the city. I don't know what the purpose of coming here is, maybe it's to seek asylum."

"Report! Shoot a letter from outside the city."

Suddenly, a soldier walked in quickly and bowed to report.

"Oh? Show me."

The city lord didn't move, the scribe took the letter and unfolded it.

"My lord, great news!"

"tell me the story."

"The army outside the city came from a force called Xuanming City. I have never heard of this city. It is probably a private city built by some family."

There is no way, the territory of the Han Dynasty spans millions of miles, and they may not know where there is an extra city.

"But these are not important, they sent us 3000 million catties of grain!"

"Only 3000 million?"

At this moment, the city lord lay back down again and asked indifferently.

3000 million catties sounds like a lot, but it's enough to consume Jianye City for three to five days, and it won't be of much use unless it can be delivered all the time.

But if you think about it with your ass, you can figure out where to fix that good thing. The 3000 million catties of grain delivered this time are probably taken advantage of by robbery.

He couldn't be more clear about the urine nature of the family, because he himself is one of them, but the foundation of his family is not in Yangzhou, otherwise he can ask for help.

But don't underestimate the power of the family, most of the families in this Yellow Turban Rebellion were optimistic about the show and didn't do their best at all.

Only a very small number of aristocratic families loyal to the court would send their own private soldiers to join the army against the rebels.

Otherwise, the Yellow Turban Rebellion would not last for a few days at all, and would be extinguished by aristocratic families from all over the country, even without the imperial court sending a large army to suppress it.

It's a pity that most of the thousand-year-old families standing at the top of the Great Han Pyramid have already set the tone of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, and wait and see the changes.

The boss didn't contribute any more, so how could the younger brother take the lead in charging.

This is also an important reason why the Yellow Turban Army can be powerful in the early stage, and its power is getting bigger and bigger.

"My lord, don't worry, the letter said to exchange food for people!"

"What do you mean?"

"It's that they plan to exchange millions of grain and grass for [-] people in Jianye City!"

"for free?"

"Yes, that's what it said in the letter, and they will come again in January!"

"Is there such a good thing?"

"My lord, 3000 million catties of grain is equivalent to a population of 30. This not only reduces the population pressure on Jianye, but also gets grain for free, killing two birds with one stone!"

The hand of the scribe holding the letter was shaking, and he said a little excitedly.

"I know, but why is this group of people like this? During this period, they exchanged precious food for those useless untouchables?"

Although this matter is very beneficial to him, he always feels that something is wrong, and he can't say it out.

"Your Majesty is worrying too much. No matter what the significance of their move is, or what they want to change people for, these have nothing to do with us. The most important thing at present is to solve the current predicament. In this way, the position of the prefect can also be securely held by your lord. no?"

After listening to the analysis of his advisers, the city lord nodded.

I have calculated too many people, and I have calculated myself to be paranoid.

No matter what their purpose is, the benefits of delivering it to your door should not be fools.

At this time, Gao Chong was sitting on Mo Lin's back outside the city, and beside him was Liu Bowen who was accompanying him.
