Chapter Fifty One Rush to Rescue

 Soon, all the Yellow Turban Army outside the city dispersed, and everyone in the city was very happy after learning the news.

So Liu Chang summoned everyone in the government office to discuss the next various plans.

Liu Chang said to everyone: "Now that the Yellow Turban Army has all withdrawn, and the nearby thieves have basically been swept away. Now is a good time for us to develop. Now the Central Plains is in chaos. I guess no one can take care of us during this period. Send our previous prisoners out to open up the land first. Plant all potatoes first. You are responsible for the king and this matter."

Liu Chang thought about it and continued:

"The corpses outside the city must be buried in the place. The weather is getting hotter and there is no epidemic. There have been frequent epidemics in recent years, so we have to prevent them. Let those who deal with these with cloth cover their mouths and noses."

Wang He said: "Okay, Brother Liu, I will arrange someone to deal with these matters immediately."

Just as Liu Chang was arranging various affairs for everyone, a guard suddenly came to report that a messenger from Tang County came to ask for a meeting.

Liu Chang suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart: "Take him here."

After a while, the guard who had just left came here with a dusty man.

The visitor said anxiously: "Reported to General Liu, Chu Yan looted villages around Tang County. General Wang Ye took his men and horses to intercept him, but General Wang Ye did not have cavalry. So before he left, he specially sent me to Dingzhou for help."

Liu Chang thought that Chu Yan had escaped for a long time, so he immediately asked, "How long ago did this happen?"

The visitor said, "Report to General Liu, when I arrived in Dingzhou, Dingzhou City was being besieged by Yellow Turban bandits, and it has been more than half a month since I came out."

After hearing this, Liu Chang felt that Wang Ye was too reckless in pursuing rashly.

He immediately said to the others in the Government Affairs Department: "Since Tang County is asking for help now, we have to go and support it immediately. I saw about 100 people following Chu Yan towards Tang County on the city tower, basically all of them were cavalry. It was a bit reckless to keep Tang County's men and horses to intercept Chu Yan. So we can't wait any longer. It has been a lot of time since Chu Yan escaped by the city wall. Let's set off now. I don't know what the situation in Tang County is now."

After pausing, Liu Chang said, "Yide, you go and organize all the cavalry first. After I arrange other things, we will immediately go to help Tang County."

Zhang Fei immediately replied, "Okay, I'll gather the people now." After saying that, Zhang Fei turned around and left the Government Affairs Department.

Liu Chang said to the remaining people: "Zhao Xin, Zhao Di, you two are optimistic about your family here and assist Wang He in doing the previous arrangements. Be sure to do all the matters of spring planting well, which is related to our food and grass issues this year, and we must not lose any losses."

Zhao Di immediately said, "Brother Liu, don't worry, we will definitely handle these matters well."

Zhao Xin also echoed on the side: "We must do our best, please don't worry, my son."

Liu Chang also reminded Zhao Di: "Don't relax the training of soldiers. The way to survive is to have a strong fist these days."

Zhao Di hurriedly said: "I will strengthen the training of soldiers, and I will also train the newly recruited soldiers according to the military strategy."

"If there are prisoners, organize them to open up the land and promise them. If they can open up the land well, they will divide the land they have reclaimed by one-third after the autumn harvest. Use this method to stimulate their enthusiasm and strive for a variety of food this year."

Wang He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I understand. Brother Liu, don't worry, I will definitely handle all of these."

Liu Chang finally reminded him: "Okay, you guys do your best. I'll go to rescue Tang County first. It shouldn't take long to come back."

Everyone said, "Brother Liu is going to be a good trip here."

After arranging the affairs, Liu Chang walked out of the Government Affairs Office. He wore a lighter armor in his residence and rode his horse to the barracks. At this time, Zhang Fei had already gathered all the cavalry.

After Liu Chang went in, he asked, "How is Yide ready?"

Zhang Fei waved the restored steel spear and said, "I have gathered all my troops and can set off at any time, just waiting for Brother Liu to come."

Liu Chang said with appreciation: "Okay, then let's go now."

Zhang Fei drove the horse forward, then shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Go away."

The entire team began to move and soon left Dingzhou City.

The two began to rush towards Tang County with their cavalry.

Along the way, there were villages that were robbed by Chu Yan and broken walls. Some people had already begun to prepare to flee elsewhere.

When Liu Chang saw them, he said with pity: "You go to Dingzhou City, where people are being prepared to organize their troops to open up land and farm. You all go, at least you can make a living."

The group of refugees began to kowtow to Liu Chang with great gratitude and said, "Thank you for your life, General for your life. When we arrive in Dingzhou City, we will definitely work hard."

Liu Chang said: "Well, then go quickly. Although this place is not far from Dingzhou, you have to walk for a while by walking with your feet."

The refugee said thankfully again: "Thank you, General, then we will leave first. I wish the general to become a high-ranking official."

Liu Chang laughed and said, "Thank you for your wishes."

In the evening, Liu Chang and others found a flat place to rest. They gathered around a campfire and roasted dry food. Liu Chang asked Zhang Fei, "Yide, you have fought with Chu Yan before, how good is he?"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Fei said cautiously: "Although that kid is not my opponent, he is still good at it. I have fought with Wang Yebailuo and others. They will definitely not be Chu Yan's opponent. Even if the two of them are together, they will not be able to go together."

Liu Chang said with some concern: "When Chu Yan ran away, I saw it on the city wall. The people who followed him were all strong people, with about a hundred people. The people who kept Tang County were definitely not their opponents. If we stayed in the city and guarded it, we should be able to keep the county town. But if we go out to fight him, it would be a great disaster. When I heard Wang Ye bring people to intercept Chu Yan, I felt that the situation in Tang County might not be very good now."

Zhang Fei comforted Liu Chang and said, "Brother Liu, don't worry. I believe Chu Yan must have hid in Taihang Mountains after robbing the surroundings. Maybe Wang Ye will go out and go back."

Liu Chang also comforted himself and said, "I hope so."
