Guo Song hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhou, I will take a few brothers to block the side door. I am afraid that the victims will rush into the county government through the side door."

County Magistrate Zhou glanced at him, then remembered that he shouldn't have let the fat be present, and said, "You go and guard the side door."

Guo Song turned around and ran towards the side door. As soon as he ran out of the lobby, his subordinates surrounded him, "Boss, what should we do?"

"What should I do? It's too late to run away if I don't run away."

Guo Song did not go to guard the side door, but led everyone to open the side door and ran away.

......

"Wait, I will pay the money and food immediately, and everyone will have a share."

Although County Magistrate Zhou stood on the steps and told the people over and over again that they were preparing to release food and asked the people to wait, more than 10,000 hungry people had lost their rationality and patience under the double torture of hunger and anger.

People from Xingyuanhui shouted among the hungry people: "The dog officials are cheating and delaying time. We go to the warehouse to get grain ourselves."

More than 10,000 people yelled angrily. Under the leadership of dozens of people from Xingyuanhui, the people finally broke out, like a flood, rushed into the county yard, knocking over more than a dozen officials, including Zhou County Magistrate, to the ground. Amid the screams, more than a dozen officials, including Zhou County Magistrate, were beaten to death by angry people.

The hungry people broke open the gate of the county government and rushed into the granary and warehouses in a rush. While the hungry people rushed into the county government, tens of thousands of victims in the county also rushed from all directions to catch money and grain, scrambling to each other, screaming and crying, and the whole county town went crazy.

But the result was shocked to everyone. The huge granary was empty and the food was gone. The angry people broke into the warehouse and snatched the tax money. At this time, thousands of fully armed soldiers of Xingyuanhui surrounded the county government and the square from all directions, controlling the more than 20,000 people who had not escaped.

Li Fu stood on the roof and shouted: "Dear fellow villagers, we are not Cao's soldiers, we are the subordinates of Duke Yuan, we are here to rescue everyone from the fire."

Tens of thousands of people stared blankly at Li Fu on the roof. Yuan Shao was kind to the people and was very popular among the people in Hebei counties. He heard that it was Yuan Gong's army, and everyone's fear finally gradually disappeared.

"I want to tell you again that the army in Cangcheng is coming. They will take revenge on everyone, kill everyone, kill all your wives, children and parents, and all the young and strong men stand up and protect their families with us."

.........

Yi County played an important role when Cao's army was expeditioning to Wuhuan in Liaodong, which was the important logistics location of Cao's army. For this reason, Cao's army hoarded a large amount of food and grass and weapons in Yi County. Although most of the food and grass supplies had been transferred to Nanyang, there was still a large amount of food and food supplies in Yi County's Cangcheng.

Cangcheng, Yixian County, is located on a gentle hill about five miles east of the county town. The city wall is twelve miles in circumference. Cangcheng has a huge warehouse with a large size. Currently, there are thousands of soldiers stationed, commanded by a Sima, another unit.

Cangcheng, Yi County, is directly under the military and is directly under Yedu, and has nothing to do with the local government. If the local government wants to mobilize the Cangcheng army, it must also ask Yedu for instructions, and Yedu will issue an order to transfer troops to the Cangcheng army.

However, the matter is not so absolute. If the situation is urgent, such as fire fighting and disaster relief, and the scope of the dispatch of troops is not large, the army can deal with it first and then complete the procedures later. This depends on the personal relationship between the two parties.

The head general of the army commander of Cangcheng was named Kong Yuan, who was from Yingchuan. However, he raised a concubine in Yi County. He often drank with a group of officials such as the county magistrate and had a good relationship in private. So when Kong Sima received a request for help from the county, he led two thousand soldiers to Yi County without hesitation to suppress the rioters.

In fact, Kong Yuan not only gave Zhou County Magistrate a face, but also worried about his concubine in the county. In order to favor this concubine, the concubine was seven months pregnant and might give birth to him. This is of extraordinary significance to Kong Yuan, who is over 40 years old but still has no knees.

The situation has been unstable recently. Kong Yuan had long wanted to take his concubine to Cangcheng to live, but Cao's military rules were strict. Once reported, he would lose his official position and be demoted. He did not dare to take this risk. He just sent more than a dozen confidant soldiers to stay in the county town to protect his mansion in the county town.

Kong Yuan heard about the hungry people rioting in the county. He was worried about his concubine's situation and was even more anxious. He repeatedly urged the army to speed up. As soon as the team of two thousand people ran, it was two miles away from the county town. Suddenly, someone shouted: "Confucius" in the woods beside him.

When Kong Yuan turned around, he saw more than a dozen people running out of the woods not far away, guarding a carriage. As a fat and tall official, Kong Yuan recognized at a glance that he was a thief Cao Guosong, who was a fellow villager with him. He had just taken office and often came to Cangcheng to drink and gamble. He was generous and had lost to himself. Kong Yuan thus had a good impression of him.

The dozen people behind were all yamen runners, but Kong Yuan recognized the carriage at a glance. Isn’t it the carriage he was in the county town? He was shocked and hurriedly ordered: “Stop moving forward”

The army stopped running, Kong Yuan urged him to come forward and asked, "Why is Brother Guo here?"

Guo Song patted his chest with lingering fear and said, "The hungry people are rioting. The county magistrate Zhou has been beaten to death by the mob. The county is robbing everywhere. I ran to General Kong's mansion to take refuge. Unexpectedly, there were several mobs there besieged there. The general's personal soldiers were fighting forward to resist. I protected the general's wife and escaped from the back door and wanted to go to Cangcheng to take refuge. I happened to meet the general."

Kong Yuan was shocked, and he pointed to the carriage, "Is my wife in the carriage?"

"I was in the car, but was frightened, and it seemed that the situation was not good."

At this time, a low voice from the concubine Kong Yuan came from the carriage, "General, I'm in the carriage."

"A Huan, how are you doing now?" Kong Yuan asked urgently. His concubine was seven months pregnant, but nothing could happen.

"I... I'm afraid I can't do it anymore."

At this time, Guo Song whispered from the side: "Go and see, your wife is bleeding, it's inconvenient for us."

Kong Yuan was shocked. All his hopes were in the concubine's stomach, so he must not miscarriage. He turned over and got off the horse, opened the door and got on the carriage. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got on the carriage, his eyes turned black. A black cloth bag wrapped around his head, and an arm like an iron rod strangled his neck, dragged him into the carriage.

After a moment, his hood was removed, his hands were tied back, and his mouth was blocked. He slowly adapted to the darkness in the carriage. In front of him was a tall and burly man in black. When he turned around, there was also a man in black behind him. In the darkness, the man's eyes were staring at him coldly like a wolf.

His concubine was lying on the other side, and another middle-aged man sat beside her, with a sharp dagger placed on her tall belly. The concubine looked at him in horror and begged.

At this time, the middle-aged man sitting next to his concubine slowly spoke: "We are not bandits, nor are we mobs. We are from Yan Ziwei of Youzhou. I promise you that your wife is intact now and has not suffered any harm so far, but I cannot guarantee that she will come."

After saying that, the man reached out to pick up the dagger on the concubine's belly, adjusted the direction, aimed the sharp tip of the knife at Kong Yuan, and glanced at Kong Yuan coldly, without saying anything, I believe Kong Yuan himself understood.

Kong Yuan's mind was already in chaos. These people turned out to be Yan Rou's people. Is Yan Rou going to rebel? When he saw the dagger in his concubine's belly again, the sharp tip made him shudder. He suddenly thought of the child in his concubine's belly. That was his only hope and his biggest weakness.

Kong Yuan was immediately discouraged, and the resentment and anger in his heart disappeared without a trace. He nodded weakly. The middle-aged man laughed. He winked. The strong man next to him immediately took out the rag from Kong Yuan's mouth. Kong Yuan immediately stared at the middle-aged man and asked, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Do you know about Jiang Yiqu?"

Kong Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly: "You...are you not a general under Yuan Shao?"

"I am now under the commander Yan, so please rest assured General Kong. I am not a bandit, so I must be trusted."

"Then what do you want to do?"

Jiang Qi smiled slightly, "Don't think too much about Kong Sima, we just want to make a deal with you."

"What transaction"

"It's very simple. We want your army and Yixian Cangcheng. After the matter is completed, we will repay Confucius, a thousand taels of gold. You will leave with your wife."

"Hmph" Kong Yuan snorted coldly, "What if I don't agree?"

Jiang Qi still said calmly: "If you don't agree, it's very simple. General Kong may have no descendants."

After saying that, he picked up the dagger and gently stroked the belly of Kong Yuan's concubine twice, staring at Kong Yuan coldly. When Kong Yuan thought of his unborn son, his last little sense of resistance also disappeared. After a while, he sighed and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Jiang Qi laughed, "It's very simple. I ordered all the officers above the garrison commander to go to the woods to discuss military affairs."

.........

The sky gradually darkened, and Kong Yuan led two thousand soldiers back to Cangcheng. At this time, there were still a thousand soldiers guarding the city, commanded by a general named Yang.

Kong Yuan ordered the officers to go to the woods to discuss military information, but was captured by the ambushed army in the woods. Two thousand soldiers were forced to surrender. Now the two thousand soldiers behind him are no longer the original army.

At this time, Kong Yuan had already understood the truth. It was not Yan Rou's army, but Yuan Shao's old subordinates were about to rebellion, which made him very scared, but at the same time he had fallen into the quagmire and could not recover.

Of course he would not participate in the uprising. For him, the best choice was to accept the conditions, and then take a thousand taels of gold and the money he had collected in recent years to escape, find a safe place to hide his identity, and be a rich man in the second half of his life.

Behind Kong Yuan, Jiang Qi said coldly: "Call the city."

Kong Yuan had no choice but to yell under the city: "Open the city gate quickly"

The defenders on the city saw that the chief general was back, so they quickly opened the city gate. The deputy general came out and smiled and said, "Sima went to the county town and got a lot of rewards."

"I'll share one for you later."

Kong Yuan waved his hand and the army drove into the city. Seeing that most of the soldiers had entered the city, Kong Yuan then said to the deputy general: "General Yang, I can't help it, I'm sorry."

The deputy general was stunned. Before he could react, the soldiers next to him rushed forward, pressed him to the ground, and tied him up. The deputy general shouted in anxiety: "Consma, what happened?"

Kong Yuan ignored him and turned around and clasped his fists at Jiang Qi and said, "I have done my job as promised, so the general will not break his promise."

"Of course I won't break my promise, but I'll have to ask General Kong to do a small thing and then let General Kong go."

"What's up"

"General Kong could write an urgent letter to Cao Pi, Yedu, saying that the old subordinates of Duke Yuan supported Yuan Mai as the new leader and launched an uprising in Yi County. More than 50,000 troops swept north of Hejian, and the people of Hebei responded."

.........

In late October of the tenth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao's old subordinates took advantage of Cao Cao's expedition to the south to support Yuan Shaoyou Yuanmai Revival in Yi County and established a new Yuan army. They seized the Yi County warehouse and seized a large amount of grain and weapons. They then opened the warehouse to release grain. People in the northern part of Hejian County who were suffering from locust plagues rushed to Yi County.

The new Yuan army planted a large flag at the head of Yi County and wrote the word Xing Yuan, which attracted righteous men from all over the world to come and serve. They gathered like rain. Within five days, they recruited more than 10,000 soldiers, with a huge momentum.

The revival of Yuan's family in Yi County attracted response from all over Hebei. The Hejian tyrant Zhang Yi raised an incident in Chengping County, recruited 5,000 troops and conquered the county's capital, Lecheng County. Xia Zhi, the magistrate of Nanpi County, announced the change of flags and the loyalty to the Yuan family.

In addition, local tyrants such as Luo Jun, Anping tyrants Li Xing, Bohai tyrants Gao Yi and other local tyrants raised troops to respond.
