72.Chapter 72
Chen Xu's treatment of the powerful households in Dong'a Hao is the same as that of Puyang, and those who escaped with their lives are crying with joy.
After being threatened by Chen Jing and seeing his very spicy methods, these people are even more afraid of death.
Xue Fang stayed at home with his family, as if he was in a dream.
The Xue family is a big family in Dong'a, and there are countless grains, grasses, and money in the family, and he thought that after the Yellow Turban broke through the city, the wealth accumulated by the family for several generations would be swept away.
Unexpectedly, from beginning to end, in addition to him being detained, the family had a lot of property.
At this time, he couldn't help but feel lucky. Their Xue family has always done good deeds and generosity, and will not oppress the good. Even after being blackmailed by Chen Xu in disguise last time, although he had complaints in his heart, he did not participate in framing Chen Xu.
It is precisely because of this that he not only saved the lives of his family, but also shared the family's belongings. Thinking of Chen Jing's retribution, he still felt a chill in his heart.
"Never provoke them in the future!" Xue Fang looked at the heads of those who were hanging on the city wall, and secretly thought in his heart.
Chen Xu is not bent on robbing Haoqiang, as long as they behave properly and do not oppose him, Chen Xu will not take the initiative to provoke them.
There are not a few powerful families who have the same thoughts as Xue Fang. If Chen Xu knew what these people were thinking, he would probably laugh heartily. He deliberately acted with all his heart and soul in order to achieve this effect.
It is now the middle of August, Chen Xu and others wiped yellow scarves on their heads, and finally arrived in Julu County, Jizhou.
After joining Wang Yan and leaving Dong'e, the two joined forces and wanted to go north to Zhangjiao.
At the beginning, Chen Jing asked the Yellow Turban Army for help, but many Yellow Turban Army generals and soldiers were reluctant to go to the rescue of Chen Xu.
After Wang Yan came forward, he said to everyone: "We respond to the call of the great sages and good teachers to raise the righteous army to fight against the corrupt Han family." But I didn't want to, I waited for repeated defeats in Dongjun, so I had no confidence in this uprising. ”
"Let you take a fancy to it, and you are willing to work with my king to extend the grass. However, in a certain heart, he misses the great sage and good teacher day and night, and never forgets the overthrow of the Han family. ”
"Chen Wenzhao is a genius in the world, leading troops to fight, if he is imaginative, ordinary people cannot guess. If we rescue this man and introduce him to the great sages, this will surely strengthen my Yellow Turban Momentum. ”
"Although we have old grudges with Chen Wenzhao, which is more important than the personal grudges and the retribution of the Yellow Turban Army in the world?"
Wang Yan's words made all the soldiers under the tent speechless. Although they followed Wang Yan and fell into the grass, they did not go north to Zhang Jiao. However, in their hearts, they still can't forget the beautiful world outlined by the great sages and good teachers.
In the past, they had suffered several blows, which made them extremely worried about the future of the Yellow Turbans. But if it is really as Wang Yan said, bringing Chen Xu, a person who can attract the thunder god, closer to the Yellow Turban camp, it will undoubtedly be a great thing for the Yellow Turban Army, which lacks excellent commanders.
So, they were all tempted.
They don't want to hide in Tibet all their lives and become bandits. If they can choose, if there is still hope, they would rather shout the slogan 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand', and die on the battlefield.
After the convergence, without surprise, Chen Xu agreed to join the Yellow Turban Army. On that day, the Yellow Turban Army thundered with joy. Everyone looked at Chen Xu's eyes, full of eagerness.
Wang Yan wanted to give up the position of Yellow Turban Qu Shuai to Chen Xu several times, but Chen Xu refused.
In this way, Chen Xu became a general of the Yellow Turban Army.
When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty appointed Lu Zhi as the general of Beizhonglang, Huangfu Song as the general of Zuozhonglang, and Zhu Jun as the general of the Right Zhonglang, and dispatched the elite soldiers of the whole country to attack the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
All the way to the south, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun dispatched the cavalry of the five schools and the three rivers, and recruited strong men at the same time, totaling more than 40,000 people. The two of them each led a division and jointly suppressed the Yingchuan Rebels.
All the way to the north, with Lu Zhi as the main general, Dong Zhuo and part of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, supplemented by elite soldiers from other places, totaling 30,000, crusaded against Zhang Jiao.
In the past two years, the people of Jizhou have lived very difficult. The Yellow River passes through Jizhou and is prone to flooding. Droughts, floods, and expropriations have forced too many people to death.
In addition, Zhang Jiao was born in Jizhou, and since he founded the Taiping Sect, he first preached in Jizhou. Therefore, there are a lot of believers in Taiping Tao here, and they are also very religious.
When Zhang Jiao pulled up the anti-flag and raised his arms, there were farmers in the whole Jizhou who responded.
The peasants near Julu captured Liu Xu, the king of Anping, and Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling. Zhang Jiao led the Jizhou Yellow Turban to capture Guangzong.
If it weren't for Lu Zhi's successive victories, capturing more than 10,000 members of the Yellow Turban Army, forcing Zhang Jiao to defeat Guangzong, and defending the city, I am afraid that the entire Julu County would have been occupied by the Yellow Turban Army.
Fortunately, Lu Zhi's eunuch Zuo Feng framed him, saying that he had delayed the fighter plane, and was later dismissed. This gave the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army a respite.
Dong Zhuo succeeded Lu Zhi and presided over the crusade in Jizhou, and now he is in a stalemate with the Yellow Turban Army.
Julu County, the war is raging. When they came here, Chen Xu and Wang Yan didn't dare to slack off, and sent scouts to investigate.
The two walked side by side, and during this time, Chen Xu's body improved a lot. He talked with Wang Yan heartily and told each other about his intentions, and they both had a feeling of being like-minded and hating each other.
Chen Xu is bold and familiar with the art of war, plus he has the knowledge of later generations. Especially when he heard Wang Yan talk about his Wang Mang's new policy, which nationalized land and forbade private trading, his eyes lit up.
Chen Xu picked some of the systems of later generations and told Wang Yan to listen. After Wang Yan heard this, he was even more shocked, and the two often lay on the same bed and slept on their feet.
Just when the two were talking selflessly, they saw a pegasus coming over, and Lao Yuan shouted loudly: "Report! There are thousands of officers and soldiers in front, and they are attacking the county seat of Quzhou! ”
When Chen Xu and the others heard this, their faces were heavy.
The 30,000 soldiers and horses brought by Lu Zhi were all elite soldiers recruited from all over the Han Kingdom, and there were even elite and powerful Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Their combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to the county soldiers and the Yellow Turban Army, which has no blood.
Don't look at these soldiers behind Chen Xu, they have experienced several battles in Dongjun. If it is really compared with these officers and soldiers, it is still far inferior.
Now that they have made up their minds to come to Jizhou, they will inevitably fight with the officers and soldiers, thinking of this, Chen Xu and Wang Yan's faces are not good-looking.
"Probe!" Wang Yan said to the scout.
Qu Zhoucheng, Zhang Liang cut down an officer and soldier, and gasped fiercely.
"Now that my brother is leading 70,000 horses and fighting with Dong Zhuo in Guangzong, I must defend Quzhou and become a rival with my brother."
Zhang Liang looked at the officers and soldiers who had already joined forces inside and outside and broke in, and secretly thought in his heart.
His face was very serious, although there were only 5,000 officers and soldiers, there were some cavalry, many of them were still brave and good at fighting Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
When it comes to being fierce and not afraid of death, the 15,000 Yellow Turban Army under his command is not necessarily worse than the officers and soldiers. But before, they were just some peasants after all, although they were not afraid of death, but whether they were equipped or combat, they were far from these elites.
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" Zhang Liang took a deep breath and shouted loudly.
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" The Yellow Turban Army also shouted frantically, and they collided with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry with their flesh and blood.
For a time, Qu Zhoucheng's severed limbs and stumps flew in all directions, and blood flowed like a river. Rao is these officers and soldiers are the elite of the Great Han Kingdom, and they also feel their scalps tingle in the face of the Yellow Turban Army, which is not afraid of death.
The officers and soldiers repeatedly stormed the city gate, but they were all driven out by Zhang Liang with the Yellow Turban Army. The gate of the small county town has actually become a meat grinder.
Under the banner of the word 'Hua', Hua Xiong frowned and looked at everything on the battlefield. He is brave and is known as the first warrior of Xiliang. However, even he was shocked by the crazy Yellow Turban Army.
The officers and soldiers began a tug-of-war with the Yellow Turban Army, and Hua Xiong thought of the order given by his lord, and his eyes flashed. He slapped his mount and entered the battlefield, and between the great sword and the fly, his men did not have a single enemy.
Like an arrow of an officer and soldier, he plunged into the heart of the Yellow Turban Army and slowly advanced towards the city.
The first warrior in Liangzhou is by no means a wasted person! In the face of this killing god, even the Yellow Turban Army, who was not afraid of death, could not stop his progress.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! ”
Seeing that the commander was so brave, the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, and they shouted wildly. For a time, the Yellow Turban Army, which was three times the strength of its officers and soldiers, actually had a tendency to rout.
At this moment, there was a loud shout outside the city. A biao soldier and horse with the banner of the word "king" appeared in everyone's field of vision. Hua Xiong turned his head and saw that all these people were smeared with yellow scarves on their heads, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
The number of officers and soldiers was far less than that of the Yellow Turban Army, and they were all fearless of death. Even if the officers and men have a slight upper hand by virtue of their bravery, they are still in the stage of stalemate.
Now a Yellow Turban army has suddenly been killed from behind, and although their numbers are small, they are like the last straw that crushes the camel.
For a while, the officers and men who had just been boosted by the morale of the commander-in-chief suddenly began to become confused.
