Xia Quyang was breached, and the news was really shocking. Chen Xu suddenly heard the news and stood on the spot.

Then, he grabbed the scout by the collar and asked loudly, "The Yellow Turban Army and the people in Xiaquyang were all martyred?" ”

The scout also looked sad and said, "Only a very small number of people have escaped with their lives. ”

After that, the scout began to report to Chen Xu the specific situation of the loss of Quyang.

Although after Zhang Bao's death, the Yellow Turban Army in Xiaquyang began to split, and some of the men and horses abandoned the city and fled.

But the Yellow Turban commander who stayed behind was quite talented, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers in the city. Therefore, after Huangfu Song besieged Quyang, he stormed the city several times, but they all returned in vain.

Later, Huangfu Song successively transferred more than 10,000 county soldiers from Changshan Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom, and Julu County, as well as 10,000 newly recruited volunteers.

In this way, the number of troops under Huangfu Song's account has reached 50,000. If we only compare the number of people, the strength of the officers and soldiers is already more than twice that of the Yellow Turban Army in Xiaquyang.

The Art of War: Attack it if you double.

Huangfu Song is a famous general in the world, and angels in Luoyang continue to come to urge, so that he can pacify the Yellow Turban Army as soon as possible.

Therefore, Huangfu Song ordered the officers and soldiers to storm Quyang day and night.

Although there are only 20,000 Yellow Turban Army left in Xiaquyang, many people in the city are family members of the Yellow Turban Army. Fearing that the city would be broken and slaughtered by the officers and soldiers, they came to the city wall to help the Yellow Turban Army defend the city.

As a result, although the officers and soldiers attacked for dozens of days and lost countless men and horses, they did not break through Quyang.

The angel from Luoyang urged Huangfu Song every day to put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion as soon as possible.

Huangfu Song was also afraid that the Son of Heaven would listen to the eunuchs' slander, saying that he had delayed the fighter plane and was hesitant to move forward. Therefore, he has been depressed in his heart about not being able to conquer Xia Quyang.

However, it was said that Huangfu Song listened to the strategy of Fu Zhi at that time and recaptured Jin County in one fell swoop. From then on, he was lenient with this small county order.

He often talks to Frustration and finds that Frustration is full of talent.

Frustrated by his insight, sometimes even Huangfu Song himself is impressed.

Huangfu Song often took the hand of the frustrated professor and said: "It is really a sigh to sigh that he is so talented as a prince and such a talent, but he doesn't want to be condescended to a county magistrate." ”

Huangfu Song's word is true, his uncle Huangfu Gui is a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, one of the three Ming in Liangzhou, and his father Huangfu Festival once served as the Taishou of Yanmen County, and has been a border general for a long time.

Although he was behind the gate, he had literary and military ambitions when he was young, good poetry and books, and was familiar with bow horses. It can be said that Huangfu Song is a person who is both civil and military.

It is precisely because he was good at poetry and books when he was a young man that he often treated the scribes with great respect.

He was temporarily recruited by Huangfu Song and won the respect of Huangfu Song. He saw that Huangfu Song was worried about breaking through the matter of Xia Quyang, so he wanted to help him.

However, the Yellow Turban Army Qu Shuai in Xia Quyang is indeed a talent, no matter what strategy Huangfu Song uses, he can deal with it calmly.

At this point, the officers and soldiers either increased their forces again and forcibly attacked Xiaquyang; Either prepare for a protracted siege, so that the grain and grass in Xia Quyang will be exhausted.

However, according to the current situation, Huangfu Song has almost transferred all the troops that can be allocated nearby. It is undoubtedly very difficult to increase the number of troops.

Moreover, the daily consumption of money and food by tens of thousands of troops is an astronomical amount. After nearly a hundred years of the Xiqiang War, the Han Dynasty has almost exhausted all the savings in the treasury.

In addition, since Huang Fu Song suppressed the Yellow Turban, it has been like a bamboo, although many people admire Huang Fu Song's talent. However, there are also many people who are jealous.

And the ten permanent servants of Luoyang, because Huangfu Song has always had a bad relationship with them. Now that he has made such a great contribution, it will naturally make the Ten Standing Servants disgruntled and try every means to frame Huangfu Song.

Fortunately, although it is a little ridiculous today, it is not completely confused.

Now the Yellow Turban Rebellion has swept across the country and has threatened his rule. At this time, he naturally would not listen to the slander of the eunuchs and destroy the Great Wall.

But the treasury was too empty to support a large-scale, long-term war. Therefore, when today's Zicai kept sending people to urge Huangfu Song, let him quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion as soon as possible.

For today's plan, Huangfu Song wants to fight a protracted war and exhaust the grain and grass in Xiaquyang, which is obviously a little unworkable.

Especially after Huangfu Song learned that Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army went north and defeated the county soldiers of Anping State, he was even more anxious in his heart.

If Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army came to Xiaquyang, it would be even more difficult for the officers and soldiers to break through the city.

Just when Huangfu Song was extremely anxious, Fu Zhu offered him a plan.

Before offering advice to Huangfu Song, he hesitated for a long time. Mainly because the strategy he offered was too vicious.

If Huangfu Song really acted according to the plan, I am afraid that several counties near Xiaquyang would be greatly implicated.

However, he was grateful to Huang Fu Song for his kindness, and finally found Huang Fu Song and said to him: "There is a certain plan, which can break Quyang, but this plan is too vicious, whether the general adopts this strategy, please think twice before acting." ”

When Huangfu Song heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed the hand of the frustrated teacher and said, "Please also teach me!" ”

However, it is said that there are two big rivers in Xiaquyang, one is the Hutuo River. Although the Hutuo River flows through the territory of Xiaquyang, it is still some distance away from the city of Xiaquyang.

There is also a big river, which is the Great White Canal.

In the "Geographical Chronicles" of Bangu of the Han Dynasty, it is recorded that the southeast of Dabaiqu Canal to Xiaquyang enters the Si Huan. The east is divided into two waters, the right of Zhijin is out of Yan, the southeast flows, it is called the hundred-foot ditch, and the southeast path and the north of the city.

The big river of Dabaiqu is connected to the Hutuo River in the west and the Zhanghe River in the east. Although he is only a tributary of these two great rivers, his flow of water is very impressive.

Although it has not rained much in Jizhou this year, the river in the Dabai Canal is still rushing.

The strategy offered by Fu Zhu was to first have the officers and men intercept the flow of water in the upper reaches of the Dabai Canal, and when the water in the river had accumulated too much, they would first send people to dig up the south bank of the Dabai Canal, and then put the backlogged water upstream.

The terrain of Xiaquyang is not high, and if the officers and soldiers dig the embankment, the flood will inevitably inundate Xiaquyang. In this way, even if they can't drown all the Yellow Turban Army, they can still make them chaotic.

At that time, the officers and men will take a raft to kill the city, and the Yellow Turban Army surrounded by the flood will have no way to escape, and the officers and men will definitely be able to completely annihilate the Yellow Turban Army.

When Huangfu Song heard about the plan of the frustrated teaching, he was immediately overjoyed, and he had to act according to the plan.

Fu Zhu continued at the time: "Although this plan can break through Xiaquyang in one fell swoop, several county towns on the south bank of the Dabai Canal will be ravaged by floods. Even the crops planted by the people will be destroyed. ”

"Please think again!"

But he didn't want to, and at that time, Huangfu Song said indifferently: "The flood is raging, and it is only for a while; The Yellow Turban thieves bewitched the people and plotted to rebel, which is a big deal. ”

"If you can sacrifice a little and pacify the Jizhou Yellow Turban in a war, this is the luck of the world and the blessing of the people."

After finishing speaking, Huangfu Song began to dispatch troops and prepare to flood Quyang.

Huangfu Song was born in Jiangmen, and in his eyes, in order to achieve victory, he can do whatever it takes. The truth of 'mercy is not in charge of the army', he has heard his father and uncle talk about it since he was a child.

Seeing Huangfu Song, he adopted his own strategy without the slightest hesitation, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

If the embankment of the Dabaiqu River is excavated, how many hundreds of thousands of people will be affected by the floods on the south bank? But in the eyes of Huangfu Song, this is some insignificant sacrifice.

At this time, Fu Zhu couldn't help but regret a little, regretting that he shouldn't have dedicated this strategy to Huangfu Song.

But is it any use to regret it now? No!

Since then, Fu Zhu pretended to be ill, resigned and left Huangfu Song's army, and returned home alone.

As expected, after the Dabai Canal was burst, the flood was monstrous, and the entire Xiaquyang water flowed everywhere. Although the water in the city was not deep, it also caused great panic to the Yellow Turbans.

Xiaquyang was the first place to bear the brunt of the flood, and some of the walls on the north bank of the city were directly washed away.

Huangfu Song took advantage of the situation to lead the officers and soldiers, drove the raft that was tied, and entered the city. The Yellow Turban Army, which was caught off guard, was suddenly killed and turned over on their backs.

The officers and soldiers were angry that the people helped the Yellow Turban Army to defend the city, and directly regarded them as the Yellow Turban Army, but if they saw these people, they would be killed.

Huang Fu Song not only did not stop him, but told the officers and soldiers: As long as it is the family of the Yellow Turban Army, it is not a matter of killing, and the soldiers can come to receive merit with their heads.

This order of his has further fueled the arrogance and murderous arrogance of the officers and men. As a result, nearly 100,000 Yellow Turban troops and people in Xiaquyang were almost slaughtered.

In the end, Huangfu Song even built the heads of these people into a Jingguan, saying that it was to deter other thieves in the world.

When the city of Xiaquyang was broken, Huangfu Song sent his officers and soldiers to block the embankment of the Dabai Canal.

But the floods have been raging for a long time, and many houses in the vicinity have been washed away and their food has been destroyed. Hundreds of people were swept away by the flood, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

After listening to the scout's report, Chen Xu's eyes were red and his face was a little hideous.

Although Xiaquyang was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, the Yellow Turban Army inside was originally only more than 20,000 people.

Considering the casualties caused to the Yellow Turban Army by the officers and soldiers who stormed for dozens of days, the Yellow Turban Army in the city would not exceed 20,000.

But Huangfu Song finally beheaded 100,000, and the rest of the people were all people who were implicated by the Yellow Turban Army.

Among those people, although many people are family members of the Yellow Turban Army, there are also many people who are just ordinary people.

I heard that Huangfu Song slaughtered these people indiscriminately, which is why Chen Xu was so angry.

Chen Xu picked up his spear and stabbed it into a big tree on the side of the road.

He scolded loudly: "The old thief of Huangfu is so vicious, even the people of Quyang will not let go. If I don't kill this thief, I swear that I won't be a man!" ”

There has never been such a moment when Chen Xu has such a strong urge to kill.
