Chapter 141

Huainan county should not be called Huainan county now. It should be Jiujiang county. Huainan county was renamed after Yuan Shu occupied and ruled Huainan.

The history of Jiujiang county is not short. Since the first emperor of Qin Dynasty divided the world into 36 counties, the Jiujiang county has always existed.

Shouchun is the county of Jiujiang County, which is also a very famous place. If we leave aside the future history, it is also fertile land, and it is a place that strategists must contend for.

However, there is no problem in the prosperous times.

The surrounding area itself is an open and flat area, and there is no terrain to provide defense. It can only be made up by building cities.

But in this way, Shouchun is also placed in a dangerous place, which is not a good place for strategists.

The governor of Yangzhou is in Jiujiang, and the governor of Yangzhou is the governor of Jiujiang county.

Zhou Qian is not a man of ability, so it is a mistake of the Han government to let him manage such a large area. However, if there is one advantage, it may be that he is obedient.

Now Zhou Qian is also in a hurry. Those yellow scarf soldiers have been besieging the county for a day, but the reinforcements are still not coming.

Before Yangzhou was all over the Yellow turban soldiers are rumors, but only this Shouchun, nothing too big.

At first, Zhou Qian was very happy. He thought it was the yellow scarf soldiers who were afraid of the majesty of the governor, so they didn't dare to March rashly.

There are nearly 50000 elite generals in Shouchun, which are almost the foundation of Yangzhou, and some of the States and counties under our hands are overwhelmed.

Zhou Qianyi began to see that Shouchun's disaster was not serious, so he sent out 45000 of the 50000 elite generals, leaving only 5000 defensive forces.

The soldiers sent out by themselves had just left for a few days, and a yellow scarf soldier who did not know where he came from had already surrounded Shouchun. This time, the yellow scarf army on the opposite side sent out nearly 50000 troops to besiege them.

Zhou Qian wants to pass on the news now, but he can't do it. What's more, even if it's delivered, it's estimated that there are too many yellow scarf anti thieves, and those soldiers will be arrested as soon as they go out.

It seems that there are also capable men in the yellow scarf army. The use of encircling the Wei Dynasty to save Zhao Dynasty is also very appropriate. This is the bitter experience of Zhou Qian.

"Assassin, there are too many yellow turban soldiers outside, or we'll retreat."

On one side, a moustached counselor asked.

In his opinion, this matter is also a dead end. It is important to save one's life and not to be caught by those anti thieves.

It is said that the Yellow turban soldiers themselves are killing people, and they treat ordinary people well, but they treat them as officials without mercy.

Every time the city is broken, the first people to suffer are those in power.

"Retreat? Are you talking nonsense? Now, if you go back without fighting, you will be punished by the court? "

Zhou Qian looked at moustache and said angrily.

If he escapes now, the court will not let him go, but if he does not escape, he will still have a chance of survival.

Although there are still 5000 soldiers in the city, and all of them are more elite than the outside, they are not available.

Those capable generals have already gone out to fight against the bandits. How many idle generals can stay in the city? They also attach great importance to merit.

"I dare not, but if the general really wants to fight, let's go out there quickly. Now the grain and grass in the city can't support it for long."

Said the counsellor, with a sigh.

It's the season of busy farming. Although the drought is coming, there are many grains outside the city that are about to mature, which is also the time when the city is most short of food.

There is enough food in the city now, but it will not be certain after a while, so the situation in the city is still very critical.

"My Lord, now the yellow scarf anti thief outside has blocked all the four doors. Will we not send troops?"

Under his platform, a general asked.

"Send troops? If you lead the army in front, then we will send out the troops, OK? "

Zhou Qian squinted at the general and said.

"This."

The general hesitated for a moment. He seemed to have some fear in his eyes and retreated.

"Who dares to lead the soldiers out? No matter how many people are left, you will be in charge. "

Zhou Qian stood up again and said in a loud voice.

But when he finished speaking, he looked around, but no one spoke. They were all looking at each other.Zhou Qian could only shake his head. Although he was a governor for a week, his power was not so great, and few of his generals listened to him.

Those generals who go out to reinforce their troops are actually taking soldiers to protect the property of their families, and they have little control over the life and death of the people.

Moreover, his subordinates also have nothing to use, whether they are generals or counsellors, in fact, they are some mediocre talents that can not be greatly used.

He knows this, but he can't change it, because behind these people, most of them are standing in their families, holding one hair and moving the whole body.

Zhou Qian is not the same. In fact, he was only a small guard in the palace at first. Later, he met Zhang rang, one of the ten constant servants, because of some things. He came to this position by his own efforts to fart rainbow.

At present, about one-third of the governors and herdsmen of each state are under the ten constant servants. There is no way out. There is no big talent willing to turn to the ten constant servants and his servants.

Zhou Qian was also very worried. He sighed a little and said, "I'll go to the tower and have a look. I'll see how the Yellow turban army is outside. I'll be as timid as a mouse."

After Zhou Qian finished, he went back to his own house, put on a suit of armor, and went down to the wall with the company of some officials.

The Shouchun city wall is still very high, which is about 30 meters long. Therefore, it is almost impossible for those yellow scarf soldiers to attack.

So they chose the method of siege. There were internal staff in the Yellow scarves. They knew that the grain supply in Shouchun city could only last for five days.

The soldiers scattered outside need three days to get back and forth as soon as possible. However, this is still in the case of no invasion. But now that the yellow scarf has become a trend, it will take 10 days at the fastest to get out of the battlefield.
