"Lord, the number of these Taiping Cultists is twice that of our army. Now the situation in Suiyang is critical. Even if the lord is Rende, he should expel them if he does not kill these people. If he stays here, he may cause disaster." The overall situation has been decided, and Lu Liang's head has been hung on the city tower outside the treasury. Seeing the Taiping Cult who had been confiscated under the care of Fang Yue and others, Qiu Chi was still a little worried.

"It is impossible to put it back." Ye Zhao looked at the sky that was gradually lit up and shook his head: "We are short of manpower now. Although these people are not strong enough in combat, they can still use it to defend the city."

"But they..." Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao with a wry smile. Regardless of the combat effectiveness of these people, these people surrendered when they thought the situation was over. But in fact, in Suiyang County, only this place was temporarily under the control of the court, and even the government office was burned. This situation must not be hidden. Qiu Chi was very worried that these people would mutiny.

"Lord, the count has been completed. Apart from those who were shot and killed and trampled on each other, the battle last night led to a total of 763 surrendered soldiers." Fang Yue walked up to the city wall and bowed to Ye Zhao and said.

"In this way, we have more than a thousand people." Ye Zhao nodded.

"Yes!" Fang Yue hesitated for a moment and whispered: "It's just these people who have surrendered the combat power of the army..."

"It's better than nothing." Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "Disass the surrendered army, mix our people in, choose their strong men as the sergeant commander, the commander and the general of the garrison. In addition to arranging guards, the rest of the people should train as soon as possible."

"This..." Fang Yue smiled bitterly: "Time is too hasty, so I am afraid I can't train to become an army?"

"There is no need to train to form an army, just be able to stand in the basic queue, and you can fight without being afraid of fighting during battle." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Now the treasury is in our hands. The Taiping Cult has no food. We just need to keep the treasury carefully. It takes less than a few days. The Taiping Cult will be in chaos and we have time."

"Here!" Fang Yue bowed and went to pass the order.

"Lord, what should I do next?" Qiu Chi sighed, knowing that there was no choice at the moment. Qiu Chi admired Ye Zhao's ability to train troops and use troops. But at this moment, Suiyang City is full of yellow turbans, so Liang Fa would not give Ye Zhao time to train troops.

"Contact the gentry in the city, all living together. In the vast Suiyang, I don't believe that everyone has turned into Yellow Turbans." Ye Zhao looked out of the city tower and thought, "It's a pity that there is too little information now, and we have no way to know what the situation outside is."

When did the Yellow Turban Rebellion break out? Not to mention Ye Zhao didn’t know, even though he knew in his previous life, he was not something he often used after many years. He had long forgotten about this detail, but judging from the current situation, it was probably because the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.

Ye Zhao remembered that in the early days, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was unstoppable, and countless counties fell one after another. Perhaps they were caught off guard by the government army like Suiyang. Otherwise, with the current equipment of the Taiping Cultists, Ye Zhao really couldn't think of how they could be unstoppable?

"Empress, a group of people came to the south and wanted to come in." A county soldier rushed over, came to Ye Zhao and bowed.

"People?" Ye Zhao's brows sank upon hearing this: "Go and take a look."

To the south of the treasury, outside the wall, a large number of people were crowded outside, with a look of panic in their expressions, constantly slapping the gate of the treasury, and the sound of begging and crying sounded. Further away, a yellow turban thief was hovering in the distance, staring at the situation here.

"Lord, this is the traitor of the Taiping Sect traitors. They drive the people to surrender. Once we open the door, these traitors will definitely attack immediately. Moreover, these people must be mixed with spies who have thieves infiltrated. Once the door is opened, the consequences will be unimaginable." Qiu Chi looked at the scene in front of him, his expression changed drastically, and he bowed to Ye Zhao and said.

Ye Zhao nodded. How could he not see such an obvious plan?

"But... if these people are not allowed to come in, these people will be slaughtered by the Taiping Cultists..." A military marquis looked at Ye Zhao hesitantly.

"We can't protect ourselves now. Once we die, Suiyang will really become the world of Taiping Sect!" Ye Zhao stood on the city tower and said loudly: "Listen to the people under the city!"

Under the city tower, when the people saw Ye Zhao, they immediately felt hope in their eyes. Not only did they stop shouting, but they were louder.

"Shut up!" Ye Zhao frowned, his eyes dumbfounded, and shouted sternly.

The crowd suddenly became quiet.

"At an extraordinary time, I cannot open the door for you!" Ye Zhao took a deep breath and said loudly.

"Do you want to see me and wait for innocent people to die?" Many people shouted.

"I earned my life by myself, not by others. I can give you weapons and use them to protect you. If there is no food, I can also distribute food to you. However, this treasury is the last remaining place in Suiyang, so there is no need to be lost. Look at you. Once I open the door, those Taiping Sect traitors will immediately rush in." Ye Zhao pointed to the distance and said in a deep voice: "As soon as the door opens, not only will it not be able to save you, but it will make you die faster!"

It was just a group of people who would not care about so many years. Now, they only knew that Ye Zhao would not let them in. They suddenly started to clamor. They were angry and cursed at the city walls. Some even attracted wooden stakes to hit the door.

"Arrowman is ready!" Ye Zhao shouted with a sharp look.

"Cruff~" behind Ye Zhao, dozens of archers quickly pulled the long bow. In this treasury, not only food and grass, but also weapons and armor, and there was also no shortage of bows and crossbows. Ye Zhao's soldiers had been re-armed last night.

"I don't believe it. He dares to attack innocent people!" In the crowd, a middle-aged man raised the wooden stick in his hand angrily and threw it up the city tower.

"Bold! Let it go!" Ye Zhao's eyes turned cold, and his arms raised were suddenly swung.

"Swish swish swish swish swish~"

Dozens of sharp arrows broke through the air and gathered towards the crowd. The bloody flowers shot together with screams made the crowd suddenly become confused. These people did not expect that Ye Zhao would really order to take action without leaving any affection. In an instant, the scolding just now became much weaker, followed by a lot of crying sounds down the city tower.

"Don't let it go!" After a round of arrows shot, the soldiers behind him twisted their bows and took arrows again. Ye Zhao waved his hand, looked at the people downstairs, and said aloud: "If you are willing to stay, weapons and food will be distributed here. You can build a layer of defense on the periphery to protect yourself. If you think I am ruthless, you can leave."

After the previous deterrence, no one dared to say anything. He just waited for a while, but no one was willing to leave. After all, he could at least make a living here. Moreover, with Ye Zhao and other officials on his side, he felt more at ease.
