Chapter 52 Hatred
Liu Chang and Zhang Fei took the cavalry and then arrived in Tang County after a journey.
Looking at the somewhat dilapidated city wall, Liu Chang said to Zhang Fei: "Seeing that Chu Yan did not take down the county town of Tang County, it seems that he has robbed the nearby villages. Let's go to the city first to take a look. I don't know what the situation is now."
Liu Chang led his troops to travel for several days, and his face was a little tired.
As soon as everyone entered the city, they saw Bai Wan running towards them and others with bandages on their bodies.
After Bai Luo came to Liu Chang, he said to Liu Chang and the others with a sad look on his face: "Brother Wang Ye was killed by him when he went to pursue Chu Yan."
After hearing this, Liu Chang sighed, he also felt a little lonely and said, "Oh, there is one less brother who has followed me. I wonder how many people will be left after the year?"
Zhang Fei and Liu Chang said: "Brother Liu, don't be too sad. When I meet Chu Yan again, I will kill him to avenge Wang Ye's brothers."
Bai Luo also said excitedly: "Brother Liu, please take my men and horses to chase Chu Yan again. Maybe he is still robbing Zhongshan County."
Liu Chang looked at Bai Lu, who was a little anxious, comforted him and said, "Don't worry, you should tell me what happened first. A few days have passed, so don't worry about it for a while. Then let Yide go nearby to find Chu Yan."
Bai Luo was a little disappointed when he heard this, and he told Liu Chang intermittently that this period of time had passed: "Okay, about ten days ago. We heard that Chu Yan was looting everywhere in Tang County. Brother Wang Ye said that since Brother Liu kept us, we cannot let Brother Liu down. So despite the opposition of everyone, he would take his men to stop Chu Yan. He said that Brother Liu, you hundreds of cavalry, would defeat Chu Yan's thousands of men. I think Chu Yan must have no ability as long as he brings people over to take Chu Yan. We can't resist him. So he brought half of his men out. When he left the city, I and the magistrate Guo and I discussed sending a messenger to Dingzhou for help."
Liu Chang said a little, "At that time, we were trapped in the city by the Yellow Turban Army and did not receive any news of asking for help in time. Alas, it's a pity that I didn't think of this when I saw Chu Yan running away. However, judging from our situation at that time, there was really no way to help Tang County."
Bai Luo continued, "A few days later, we saw that Brother Wang Ye and the messenger did not come back. So we sent people to find them. So they came back soon. They said that Brother Wang Ye's body was found in the wild. So we went out to find the place. We restrained Brother Wang Ye's body, Chu Yan robbed his armor and weapons, and then threw Brother Wang Ye into the wilderness at will." At this point, Bai Luo's emotions were a little out of control, and his tears flowed down the corners of his eyes. Then he continued:
"The staff sent to Dingzhou also came back, saying that Dingzhou City was being besieged by the Yellow Turban Army. After hearing this news, we began to guard the city, waiting for Brother Liu's reply."
Liu Chang said with some regret: "I think it was our night attack on Chu Yan that misled Wang Ye. But now that things have come to this, let's solve the problem first."
Then Liu Chang turned his head and said to Zhang Fei, "Then you just need to work hard on Yide. Go to the nearby area to find Chu Yan, but I guess he is likely to have escaped into the Taihang Mountains now."
Zhang Fei immediately responded: "Okay, I'll take someone out to find him. If he is still here, I will bring his head back."
Bai Luo begged and said, "Brother Zhang Fei, please bring me with you, I also want to avenge Brother Wang Ye."
Zhang Fei was a little worried and said, "You still have injuries on your body, don't worry. As long as I can find Chu Yan, I will definitely bring his head back."
Bai Luoze continued to ask, "My injury is not important, I just fell. Brother Zhang Fei, please take me with me, I will definitely not drag you down."
Zhang Fei looked at Liu Chang hesitantly and thought for a moment and said, "Then bring him with him. If he doesn't go today, I think he will definitely blame me for waiting in the future."
After hearing this, Bai Luo said happily: "Thank you, Brother Liu, I'll pack up now. Brother Zhang Fei, please wait for me for a while." After saying that, he ran quickly backwards.
Liu Chang told Zhang Fei: "Don't go too far. The soldiers have been running around these days, basically they are trapped and exhausted. Just walk around nearby. I guess Chu Yan must have retreated into Taihang Mountain after hearing the Yellow Turban Army retreat. Taihang Mountain is vast and dense, so we must not be able to catch him, so let him go like this first. He will come out of the mountains sooner or later. When he comes out of the mountains, we will make a fuss with him."
Zhang Fei said: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I know what I know. I took my men and horses to walk around the nearby village to comfort the people in the nearby villages, and then I will come back. I won't go too far."
Liu Chang looked at Zhang Fei with appreciation and said, "Okay, just have a clear idea in your heart."
After a while, Bai Luo tied the long sword behind him, and was coming with one hand without armor.
After seeing him coming, Zhang Fei shouted at him: "Come on."
So he took most of the people out of the city.
Liu Chang took the remaining people to the local government office. Because this place is not very critical, the two people left by Liu Chang were both martial artists. All kinds of affairs in the city were handled by Guo Xiao, the county magistrate who surrendered before.
When Liu Chang walked into the government office, he saw that he was dealing with various matters in the county. Guo Xiao saw someone coming in, and when he looked up, he saw Liu Chang coming in with several people.
Guo Xiao immediately stood up, bowed to Liu Chang and said, "I don't know that the general has arrived and cannot meet him far away. I hope the general will forgive him."
Liu Chang immediately went over and helped him up and said, "Come on, please get up quickly, thank you for your hard work in all kinds of affairs in the city during this period."
Guo Xiao said humbly: "This is what I should do, so these things are easy. I don't feel it's hard."
Liu Chang said: "Tell me about the latest happenings."
Guo Xiaoze said angrily: "Wang Ye did not listen to our persuasion and insisted on his own actions. Not only did he lose his life in vain, but he also implicated many soldiers. He really felt guilty about the general's trust."
Liu Chang shook his head and said, "It's over here, and it's useless to say more of this. After Chu Yan robbed Tang County, could the people in nearby villages survive? Have they been rescued in the city?"
