Chapter 49

A few days later,

A scout came to report,

"Magistrate, Bu Si is leading an army of eight thousand bandits, marching aggressively toward Xiaopei. They will arrive at the county seat in one day!"

The old Registrar and several wealthy families in the county rushed to the county office one after another.

"Magistrate, we must call for reinforcements immediately."

"Should we close the city gates, hold our ground, and let the bandits retreat on their own?"

"Or perhaps we should give them money and let them leave?"

"Bang!"

Liu Bei slammed his hand on the desk, startling them all.

"What is there to panic about? A mere handful of bandits, and you are scared like this? If Bu Si dares to come tomorrow, I will make sure he never returns!"

The crowd was cowed by Liu Bei's imposing manner; they dared not speak, and their hearts felt much more settled.

At noon the next day,

About eight thousand Yellow Turban soldiers arrived outside Xiaopei in a chaotic formation.

Bu Si, with his fleshy, bloated face, was somewhat puzzled.

The Xiaopei county soldiers opposite them were not hiding inside the city; instead, they were standing outside, waiting for them.

He immediately flew into a rage.

Having ravaged several counties, he had never seen such an arrogant county! ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
