42.Chapter 42: The Death of Bu Ji

Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, Puyang City has not been defeated.

However, the fall of Baima and the news of the danger in Dongwuyang still cast a shadow on the entire Puyang City.

For now, Puyang City can only send scouts to investigate the situation, and at the same time let the messenger inform other counties to hold the city tightly and prevent the Yellow Turban Army from swindling the city.

On this day, Chen Hu was still sulking in the yard, and Chen Jing persuaded him not to speak for a long time.

In Chen Hu's eyes, his brother was about to kill himself because of a trivial matter, and he felt extremely aggrieved in his heart.

Since he was a child, his brother has loved himself very much, and even if he recklessly causes a big disaster, his brother will not blame him, but will help him calm down the trouble.

He felt that his brother, who had once been gentle and kind, seemed to have become a stranger.

The sound of banging on the door sounded suddenly, Chen Hu opened the door, and saw the herald in the army appearing, and his heart was happy. Secretly said: Brother still can't help but send someone to summon me?

I don't want to, but the words spoken by the herald made Chen Hu fall into an ice cave.

"The general has an order: Chen Hu did not listen to the order, went to war without authorization, and did not repent. From today onwards, Chen Hu's position in the army will be removed and the Puyang volunteers will be expelled. ”

After the herald read out the military order, his face was unbearable, and he opened his mouth, wanting to comfort Chen Hu, but he couldn't speak.

He is also a native of Chenjia Village, and he is also dissatisfied with Chen Xu's military order, but there is nothing he can do.

Sighing, the herald said, "Ah Hu, Da Lang is angry, why don't you go and apologize to Da Lang?" ”

"Go away, go away, go away!"

Like a wounded beast, Chen Hu roared angrily, slammed the gate of the courtyard shut, and actually hugged his head and cried.

The herald was a little worried about Chen Hu, thought about it, and ran towards Chen Jing's residence.

The main general camp, Chen Jing pleaded with Chen Hu, and his mouth was dry, but Chen Xu didn't even raise his eyes.

Seeing Chen Jing sweating profusely and looking anxious, Chen Xu couldn't bear it, and sighed and said: "If Ah Hu can't realize his mistake, I'd rather him stay in Chenjia Village for the rest of his life and do nothing, rather than lose his life on the battlefield." ”

Chen Jing pondered for a long time, gave Chen Xu a deep look, then stopped talking and turned to find Chen Hu.

The brother is still the same brother, he has never changed!

That night, Chen Xu walked alone outside the barracks, looking up at the sky.

The night sky of the Eastern Han Dynasty is exceptionally clear, with a bright moon and a starry sky. Breathing in the incomparably fresh air, Chen Xu actually forgot about the battle with the Yellow Turban Army for a while, and was a little intoxicated.

"Big brother!"

A call interrupted Chen Xu's dream, and when he looked around, he saw Chen Hu coming with a shameful face, looking at Chen Xu timidly.

Chen Xu didn't answer, just looked at Chen Hu quietly, without a trace of expression on his face.

His face struggled for a moment, Chen Hu knelt in front of Chen Xu with a 'plop', and said in an astringent voice: "I offended Zhang Qi last time, causing my eldest brother to kill people and escape. Yesterday, he disobeyed the military order and killed 800 innocent soldiers. ”

"The eldest brother was kind enough to teach, but I was indignant. If it weren't for Ah Jing's enlightenment, how would I know my brother's good intentions? ”

"Big brother, Ah Hu knows that he is wrong, and please punish the eldest brother!"

After speaking, Chen Hu knocked on the ground with his forehead and stopped talking.

After Chen Jing's enlightenment, Chen Hu's heart suddenly brightened, and he understood Chen Xu's good intentions, and he was immediately ashamed, so he ran over to apologize to Chen Xu.

Seeing his own brother like this, Chen Xu's eyes were also sour, and he hurriedly helped him up.

The reason why he punished Chen Hu was not because Chen Hu did not obey military orders and went to war without authorization; And not because of the eight hundred officers and soldiers who died in action.

It is because he values Chen Hu too much that he loves him deeply and is responsible.

The general will inevitably die in battle.

As a fan of the Three Kingdoms, he knows that even those famous generals who have gone down in history have few people who have ended well.

If Chen Hu is still so reckless in the future, he will definitely die on the battlefield one day, and he will not be spared.

Chen Xu stroked Chen Hu's back and sighed: "The battle between the two armies is not child's play, if Ah Hu is so reckless in the future, if there is any mistake, how can I explain to my uncle and aunt?" ”

Chen Hu cried: "Big brother's cherishing meaning, Ah Hu knows, and he will never be so reckless in the future." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xucai's face softened slightly, and he and Chen Hu walked outside the tent and talked heartily.

Since Chen Xu killed people and fled, he has only met Chen Hu once in Crouching Tiger Ridge. When the world was amnesty and he returned to Chenjia Village, he had been so busy that he hardly had the opportunity to talk to Chen Hu.

The two talked for a long time, and Chen Xu felt that Chen Hu had changed a lot in the past year. He is still fiery and straightforward, but he is also much more stable.

In the tent, the heralds rushed to the camp and shouted: "Report! The scouts who went to Tobuyang have returned, and they have something important to report to the general. ”

When Chen Xu heard this, he took Chen Hu back to the army quickly, saw the scout with a tired face, and hurriedly asked, "Is Dongwuyang lost?" ”

……

In the county guard's mansion, Chen Xu's face was strange. When he heard the scout's report, he was incredulous.

He felt that the matter was important, so he hurried to the county guard's mansion and asked Qiao Mao to summon the county officials to discuss the matter overnight.

The officials in the county hurriedly arrived, looking at Qiao Mao and Chen Xu, who had strange faces and were full of surprise, and they were a little confused.

Looking around, seeing that the officials in the county had arrived, Qiao Mao said to the somewhat restrained scout: "You will recount the military information you have detected in detail." ”

The scout looked at Taishou's encouraging eyes, became bold, and said loudly: "We will follow the general's military orders and go to Dongwuyang to investigate the movements of the Yellow Turban Army, but we don't want to meet the Yellow Turban Army halfway. ”

"The Yellow Turban Soldiers were all tied with white cloths on their arms, and their faces were full of sadness, and the crying could be heard from afar."

"I didn't dare to get closer, I just followed secretly, and when I heard the scattered words of the Yellow Turban Army, I learned that the Yellow Turban Army suffered a great defeat in Dongwuyang, and the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Buji died in battle."

When the words fell, the whole house was shocked!

"The Yellow Turban Army actually didn't break through Dongwuyang?"

"Bu Ji died in battle, incredible!"

"Is the Yellow Turban Army a fraud?"

For a while, everyone was shocked by the news, and the county officials talked about it.

Regarding the situation in front of them, Chen Xu and Qiao Mao had already expected it. When they first heard the news, they also thought it was incredible.

originally thought that the city would be broken in Dongwu Yang in ten days, but I didn't want the real situation to come to an earth-shattering reversal.

After everyone came to their senses from this shocking news, Qiao Mao said loudly, "Silence, let the scout finish talking first." ”

When the officials were discussing, the scout naturally did not dare to interject, and only after hearing Qiao Mao's words, did he continue: "At first, we also doubted the truth of this matter, but later I saw with my own eyes that the corpse of Bu Ji, which was full of arrows, was laid flat on top of the carriage. ”

"It's a long distance, but the villain is naturally eye-catching. As long as it's daytime, if there's nothing blocking the view, you can see things a mile away. ”

"The villain has seen Bu Ji's face, and there will be no mistake!"

Sensing the importance of this matter, this scout did not dare to slack off at that time, and while letting the other companions continue to go to Dongwuyang to investigate the battle situation, he rushed back to the county to report the news at night.

When everyone was sure that Buji was dead, they were all excited.

If the commander dies, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely collapse without a fight.

Chen Xu is not as optimistic as everyone else, he knows that the Yellow Turban Army is brave, if Zhang Jiao does not die, the faith of the Yellow Turban Army will not collapse.

died of a Bu Ji, and there is an even more difficult Wang Yan to deal with.

But in any case, the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army in Dongwuyang is always a good thing.

He was just very curious now, who was the one who could see through the Yellow Turban Army's strategy?

Early the next morning, some scouts reported that Dongwuyang had not been lost, and the defense was tight, and even Puyang's scouts were not allowed to enter the city.

But the scouts who returned were able to detect the general situation of the battle.

It turned out that after the Yellow Turban Army's strategy to defraud the city was discovered, Dongwuyang County ordered the generals to make a plan and sacrifice some officers and soldiers, attracting the Yellow Turban Army to attack the city.

Then he requisitioned the private soldiers of the rich and powerful, and sent archers to ambush at the gate of the city. When Bu Ji entered the city, the arrows were fired, and he was caught off guard, and Bu Ji was killed by the arrows.

However, Bu Ji has always treated his soldiers well, and when the Yellow Turban Army saw that the commander was killed, they did not retreat but advanced, shouting 'revenge' and fighting hard.

After the stalemate, the private soldiers of the powerful and wealthy families were defeated and retreated.

At this moment, a fierce general came from outside the city, rushing left and right in the Yellow Turban Army, and there was no enemy under him, and the morale of the powerful private soldiers was greatly boosted.

The fierce general fought hard, with nearly two hundred Yellow Turban soldiers in his hand, and the Yellow Turban Army was frightened, snatched Bu Ji's body, and retreated.

The defenders of Dongwuyang suffered heavy losses and were unable to pursue, so they had to watch the Yellow Turban Army retreat.

The commander of Dongwuyang County saw the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army, and was afraid that they would go and return, so he sent people to guard the city gate and prevent people from entering and leaving.

The above battle experience, or these scouts, from which people secretly watched, how true or false, but it is unknown.
