All the top strategists have their own pride.

Although they want to be in a high position, many of them want to display their talents.

Especially people like Chen Gong, who have been living in seclusion in their hometown, have never been out of office, and have no merits.

He was even more reluctant to get an official position because of his kinship with Chen Xu, and then recruit people to gossip.

In history, even Zhuge Liang, who only started when he defected to Liu Bei, also aroused the suspicion and jealousy of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Because Zhuge Liang was a fledgling, he was regarded as a confidant by Liu Bei at a young age, and Liu Bei attached more importance to him than Guan and Zhang.

It was not until later that Zhuge Liang burned down in Bowangpo, and the tens of thousands of troops led by Xiahoudun were recognized by Guan and Zhang.

It can be seen that it does not matter if you are new to the city and are in a high position. But to be in a high position, you have to have merit that matches it.

Chen Gong knew this, so he postponed Chen Xu's appointment to him, and instead offered Chen Xu a plan. This is what is commonly referred to as the 'Rite of Audience'.

Hearing Chen Gong's words, before Chen Xu could speak, Tian Feng hurriedly said: "What is the plan of the public platform, come quickly!" ”

To tell the truth, if Tian Feng didn't know, Chen Gong was a resourceful person and would not have spoken wildly. He must have thought that Chen Gong was grandstanding.

After all, 100,000 elite soldiers and a million people, that's not a small number. With such a powerful force, it is necessary to capture at least half of the state city to get it.

Chen Gong smiled slightly, walked to the wall where the map was hung, and pointed his finger at three places one after another.

When Chen Xu and Tian Feng saw the location of Chen Gong's finger, they were a little puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized.

Tian Feng patted his forehead and said with some annoyance: "Why didn't I think of such a clever plan before?" ”

Chen Xu also opened his mouth and said: "It's really a fan of the authorities, and the bystanders are clear!" ”

In fact, Tian Feng and Cheng Yu didn't think of this strategy, which doesn't mean that they are inferior to Chen Gong.

They are in positions of high office, and they are a little too busy every day to deal with the affairs of the state. In the long run, it is natural to ignore other things.

Chen Gong is different, although he lives in seclusion at home, he has always paid attention to the general trend of the world. Although he is not well aware of the movements of the princes of the world, he is not far behind.

In addition, Chen Gong made up his mind to defect to Chen Xu, so naturally he would not come empty-handed.

When he first arrived, the first strategy he offered was related to his future status in the state army. Therefore, he had to rack his brains to make his gift bigger.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to focus on the world and find a way for Chen Xu to develop and grow.

After being happy, Chen Xu frowned and said, "Although my uncle's idea is very good, it is not easy to implement it. ”

Chen Gong said: "If you want to do this, why is it difficult? ”

"The lord only needs to lend me three people, and by the end of next year at the latest, the strength in the state can be increased by at least half."

Chen Xu asked, "Which three people?" ”

Chen Gong replied: "Dian Guofu, Liu Pi, Gong Du." ”

After the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, although Chen Xu, as Zhang Jiao's son-in-law, was the orthodox of the Yellow Turban Army.

But in the rest of the country, there were still large-scale Yellow Turban troops. These Yellow Turban Army, they do not have the strict discipline of Chen Xu, but they behave like bandits.

The Yellow Turban Army in various places is the most powerful with three people.

The first road is the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou. They took Guan Hai as the commander of the canal, had millions of soldiers, wandered in Qingzhou, and looted everywhere to make a living.

Although they said that they had an army of one million, there were only about 300,000 strong men.

Moreover, most of these more than 300,000 strong people are homeless people coerced by the Yellow Turban Army, and their real combat effectiveness is not strong.

The second road is the Taishan Army in Yanzhou. With Zhang Yan as the leader, they have more than 300,000 troops and live between the white waters of Montenegro.

Like the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, most of Zhang Yan's subordinates are also old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are only more than 100,000 strong men.

To say that they are the Yellow Turban Army is a little inappropriate. Because as early as a few years ago, they were nominally submissive to the Han family.

In history, Zhang Yanxiao gathered millions of people and plundered around the Taihang Mountain, known as the Montenegrin Army.

But in this era, Taihang Mountain was occupied by Chen Xu, so Zhang Yan could only take his subordinates to the Taishan cottage abandoned by Chen Xu.

As for the third way, their name is very interesting, it is called the White Bo Army.

The predecessor of the White Polish Army was also the Yellow Turban Army, and their total number was the smallest of the three forces.

But their combat effectiveness is very strong.

The team of the White Bo Army is completely the real Yuzhou and Sili Yellow Turban Army. In that year, the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou, after being defeated by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, dispersed into several forces.

Among them, Liu Pi and Gong Du went north to defect to Chen Xu, and the men and horses under their command were almost chased and killed by Zhu Jun.

As a result, the rest of the Yellow Turban Army generals in Yuzhou learned from their previous experience and hid in the mountains and did not dare to come out.

After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, these Yellow Turban troops hiding in the mountains came out of the mountains again.

Before the princes discussed Dong, the Bai Bo army saw the opportunity and advanced to the east of the river. By this time, their ranks had reached more than 100,000 people.

Dong Zhuo is sitting in Luoyang, so naturally he will not look at Bai Bojun and show off his power under his rule. As a result, Dong Zhuo ordered his son-in-law Niu Fu to lead the army to suppress it.

However, the powerful Xiliang army was defeated.

Dong Zhuo was too late, and sent troops to encircle and suppress the Baibo Army for the second time, and the Kwantung Coalition Army formed an alliance against Dong.

Dong Zhuo saw that the coalition army was huge, and he was afraid that the Baibo army would cross the river south and cut off the way of the Xiliang army to Guanxi, so he burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an.

It can be said that Dong Zhuo was forced to move the capital to Chang'an, and it was not without the credit of the Bai Bo Army.

And until now, Dong Zhuo's general Li Dao and others are still in Hedong County and continue to fight against the Baibo Army.

And Chen Gong's first target was the Baibo Army entrenched in Hedong County.

On the bank of the Fenshui River in Hedong County, there is a very large valley called Baibo Valley. The lair of the White Polish Army is here.

The reason why this Yellow Turban Army was renamed the White Wave Army was also influenced by the White Wave Valley.

The Baibo Valley is vast, with many nearby mountain peaks, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is a very good place with a beautiful environment and a beautiful environment.

However, now in the White Wave Valley, there has been a lot of noise.

Although the combat effectiveness of the White Polish Army is strong, the surviving old Yellow Turban Army is too rare after all. And after so many years, many Yellow Turban soldiers have slowly aged and can no longer go to the battlefield.

Even some young Yellow Turbans have many who died on the battlefield. So by now, the combat effectiveness of the White Polish Army is much inferior to before.

Dong Zhuo regarded the Bai Bo Army as a big danger to his henchmen, and kept urging Li Dao and others to quickly exterminate the Bai Bo Army.

In the course of the last battle with the Xiliang army, Guo Tai, the commander of the White Wave Army, was killed, which made the White Wave Army even more unstable.

In the big village, Yang Feng, Li Le, Han Xian (Xian), and Hu Cai quarreled fiercely.

Yang Feng said: "The combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is strong, and now that our army has been defeated repeatedly, continuing to be the enemy of the Xiliang Army is tantamount to self-destruction." ”

"If we lead our troops to surrender to Dong Zhuo now, we will definitely be able to increase the rank and become a knight. And we are holding the soldiers and horses tightly in our hands, and Dong Zhuo can't do anything to us. ”

"After having an official position, we can rightfully occupy a place and let my brothers live a good life."

Han Xian said: "We will respond to the call of the great sage and good teacher and rise up. But I don't want the Han family to be decayed and declined, but we are still defeated. ”

"Although the great sage and good teacher are dead, I am determined not to surrender to Han."

Li Le also said: "Dong Zhuo is brutal, how can we end up with a good end if we surrender to him?" ”

Hu Cai said even more disdainfully: "Dong Zhuo's house, he was defeated by a great sage and good teacher in Jizhou, and he almost died there. ”

"The great sage and good teacher unfortunately died of illness, which made Dong Zhuo so powerful. How many brothers I waited for died at the hands of the Xiliang Army. Now let's surrender Dong Zhuo, how can this be? ”

Yang Feng heard the words of the other three and hurriedly said, "If we insist on being enemies with Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be many brothers left under our command." ”

"Although we surrender to Dong Zhuo on the surface, we can listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement. All you have to do is ask him for a place to settle down the brothers. ”

"Do you want your brothers to continue to suffer with us?"

When Li Le, Han Xian, and Hu Cai heard this, their faces were a little cloudy.

After a while, Li Lecai said: "Why don't you take your brother Yang and surrender to Dong Zhuo." ”

"And help us tell him that as long as he doesn't send troops to surround us, I won't be his enemy anymore in the future, how about it?"

Hearing Li Le's words, Yang Feng and Han Xian were a little moved.

If this is the case, they will not only be able not to surrender to Dong Zhuo, but also be able to reconcile with him. Why not?

Moreover, on Dong Zhuo's side, although they fought with the Baibo army, they won more and lost less, but the casualties of the Xiliang army were not small.

If he can reconcile with Bai Bojun, Dong Zhuo's side will definitely be happy to see it.

But he didn't want to, Hu Cai, who had never been inconspicuous, suddenly said sharply: "Mrs. Guo's death, have you forgotten?" Can't you remember the deaths of countless of your brothers? ”

"Even if we can't support it, we should go north and defect to Chen Wenzhao, the son-in-law of the great sage and good teacher, instead of Dong Zhuo."

Hearing the words 'Chen Wenzhao', everyone stopped talking.

Chen Xu, as Zhang Jiao's son-in-law, is the orthodox Yellow Turban Army. At the beginning, they thought that Chen Xu was too young to lead the Yellow Turban Army to survive.

Therefore, several people did not go to Chen Xu.

Later, Chen Xu killed Huangfu Song, and the world was shaken. They were very excited in their hearts, thinking that Chen Xu would take advantage of the situation to fight the state and county.

At that time, several people decided to go north to join Chen Xu.

However, later Chen Xu suddenly disappeared and led his troops to hide in the Taihang Mountains.

Yang Feng and the others thought that Chen Xu had forgotten the ambition of a great sage and good teacher, so they gave up the idea of defecting to Chen Xu.
