Zhao Yun was suddenly promoted from a personal soldier to the commander of three thousand elite cavalry.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, he did not refuse in public, but silently accepted Chen Xu's appointment.

Zhao Yun is also a man, and he is only in his twenties, which happens to be the age of ideals and enthusiasm.

He also wants to gallop on the battlefield, and he also wants to become the commander of the first army and make contributions.

In the past, he only rejected Chen Xu's promotion out of his own pride, and was willing to be a personal soldier.

But now, he really liked this elite cavalry.

In addition, Chen Xu appointed his position under this situation, which has blocked all Zhao Yun's retreats.

Therefore, for this inexplicable appointment, he can only accept.

Chen Xu has his own considerations, although this cavalry is elite, but after all, he has only come to defect to the Yellow Turban Army.

If you don't install your own cronies in it, completely control this team in your hands, this is not Chen Xu's style at all.

And no matter which person in power encounters this kind of thing, he will also act like this.

After thinking about it, the only person in the Yellow Turban Army who could take on this important task was Zhao Yun.

Chen Xu is now in charge of the affairs of the cottage, and the number of times he will charge into battle in the future will become less and less. Therefore, only Zhao Yun can serve as the commander of this cavalry.

After appointing everyone's positions, Chen Xu took Tang Chen and Zhao Huang's hands and said, "Although Zilong has an unlimited future in the future, he has never commanded the army alone before. ”

"You two have been on the battlefield for a long time, and in terms of commanding cavalry, you can be said to be Zilong's teacher."

"I hope you can teach Zilong a lot and correct his mistakes often, so that he can quickly adapt to the change of identity."

Tang Chen and Zhao Huang naturally agreed, and swore that they would do their best to help Zhao Yun and contribute to the cottage.

Then Chen Xu said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong must not rely on his own bravery and despise others. You must know that these 3,000 cavalry, even if it is an ordinary soldier, has experienced more battles than you. ”

"If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. As the commander of an army, only by constantly learning and making progress can he transform into an excellent commander. ”

Zhao Yun could feel that his father-in-law's expectations for him were deeply moved.

He bowed and said, "The cloud will definitely live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

To the northeast of the Yellow Turban Army Dazhai is the Dai County of Youzhou.

Since Tang Chen led 3,000 cavalry to defect to Chen Xu. Not long after the run-in, Chen Xu was ready to send troops to Youzhou.

At this time, the autumn harvest is approaching, and if the Hu people are not expelled as soon as possible, I am afraid that the entire Youzhou will miss the time for sowing in the second half of the season.

The Han had starved too many people to death, and even if Chen Xu was now on the opposite side of the empire, he hoped that the Han people would die less.

Four thousand cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army equipped with horse uniforms, and three thousand cavalry comparable to the Wuhuan Turquoise cavalry, all of them were ready to go.

For this battle, Chen Xu was ready to bring Tian Feng, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Chen Hu, Tang Chen, and Zhao Huang.

It can be said that most of the generals in the entire cottage have been brought out.

Chen Xu's behavior can be regarded as a ruin.

When Chen Xu and the others were about to set off, Li Guo suddenly came to Chen Xu with more than a dozen children from Lijia Village.

When Chen Xu saw Li Guo, he was a little surprised, so he asked, "Changqi, why did you come here?" ”

But he didn't want to, Li Guo suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "In this war, please take me with you." ”

Hearing Li Guo's words, Chen Xu's brows furrowed.

To be honest, although Li Guo was famous in the township at that time, his talent was lower after all. Chen Xu remembered the friendship of the past, so he was promoted to Qu Shuai.

But it was precisely because of this affection that Chen Xu was unwilling to let him risk his life.

Just like Chen Jing and Chen Qing, the children of Chenjia Village. Chen Xu knew that the battlefield was extremely dangerous, so whenever there was a war, he wanted to put them in the cottage.

Because Chen Xu was afraid in his heart, if they accidentally died on the battlefield, at that time, he really didn't know what to do.

And the cottage is his base camp, and he also has to stay behind the people he trusts to guard the village.

What the outcome of this war will be, even Chen Xu himself can't predict. Li Guo helped hunt tigers and solved the food crisis for Chenjia Village.

Later, he led the children of the clan to Puyang to save Chen Xu, who was in prison.

It can be said that if Li Guo hadn't contacted Lu Gao at the beginning, Chen Xu and Dian Wei might have been in Puyang City.

It was precisely because Chen Xu took a fancy to Li Guo in his heart that he was reluctant to take him with him every time he went to the battlefield.

"I hope to be able to make a contribution, why don't I know? But this battle is absolutely dangerous, and even I can't guarantee that I will come back alive. ”

Li Guo's face remained unchanged, and he said stubbornly: "The lord's love and care, I am naturally moved in my heart. But since I defected to the lord, I have not made an inch, but I have held a high position as the commander of the canal. ”

"Compared to other Qu Shuai, my talent is undoubtedly much worse."

Li Guo smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "However, I don't want to drag the lord back and let others think that the lord is nepotistic." ”

"Besides, the eldest husband was born in the world, and when he was vigorous, even if he died on the battlefield, he would never regret it. If you cower, you will not be able to achieve great things in your life! ”

Chen Xu looked at Li Guo's determined appearance, so he nodded and said, "Since Changqi is so insistent, then go with me on the expedition." ”

When Li Guo heard this, he was overjoyed. After thanking Chen Xu, he returned home to prepare.

Looking at the back of Li Guo leaving, Chen Xu sighed in his heart, feeling that he was a little too self-righteous before. There is no empathy in other people's positions at all.

It is true that Li Guo's talent is inferior to other Qu Shuai.

But if he makes some contributions on the battlefield, even if he sits in the position of Qu Shuai, others will not say anything.

However, Chen Xu was always afraid that something would happen to him on the battlefield. So whenever there is a war, he is subconsciously excluded.

Don't you know that although he acted like this to love Li Guo, it hurt Li Guo's self-esteem a lot.

That's why this time, Li Guo will have such a strong request to fight.

"It seems that as the leader of a group, it is indeed not easy!"

Chen Xu walked out of the door, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Seven thousand cavalry, plus a few generals, this lineup should definitely not be underestimated. Even if it is the current big man, it is not easy to gather such a team.

Conscription is naturally easy, but raising soldiers is not an easy task.

Plus an elite cavalry, not only war horses and men, but also equipment is enough. Without rigorous training, it is difficult to create an elite cavalry.

Lingqiu County of Dai County, when the people saw a cavalry team of 7,000 people, all with yellow scarves on their heads, they were naturally shocked in their hearts.

"Could it be that the Yellow Turbans are rebelling again?"

Seeing this team, everyone had such doubts in their hearts.

"No, what do you think their flag says?"

Suddenly, someone saw a flag raised by the Yellow Turbans, which seemed to have something written on it.

"Expel the Hulu and protect my robe."

"Those who offend me in Huaxia will be punished even if they are far away!"

When some literate people read out the words written on the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, everyone felt a little incredible.

"These Yellow Turban Army, do they want to go north to fight the Hu people?"

After thinking of this possibility, everyone was in an uproar.

Even the imperial court in Youzhou has given up, the rebellion of the Wuhuan people, and the annual raids of the Xianbei people in the south, the captain of the Wuhuan school is just for show.

When the people of the Han Dynasty were living in the midst of water and fire, the Han family showed no signs of sending troops. But these people, who were called anti-thieves, actually dared to go north to fight the Hu people.

I have to say that this is a great irony.

Although the Yellow Turban Army raised such a banner, many people in Youzhou did not believe that these Yellow Turban Army would really go north to fight the Hu people to the death.

An old man said sadly: "Even the imperial court doesn't care about the looting of the Hu people, how can these Yellow Turban Army be the masters of us ordinary people?" ”

The reaction of the people was not consistent, some did not believe it, some sneered, and many people were expecting.

For a time, rumors about the Yellow Turban Army were spreading.

Some people say that the Yellow Turban Army was preparing to go down the mountain and plunder everywhere under the banner of fighting the Hu people; Some people also say that the Yellow Turban Army is deliberately putting on a show in order to buy the hearts of the people.

Of course, most of the people who spread this rumor were Youzhou officials of the Han Dynasty.

Although they were dissatisfied with the imperial court's attitude towards Youzhou, they never wanted the Yellow Turban Army to really go north to attack the Hu people.

If this is the case, then the imperial court will be even more unpopular in Youzhou in the future.

But no matter what others think, the Yellow Turbans don't care. As long as the war with the Hu people is started, the rumors will be self-defeating.

July is the hot season. Although Youzhou is located in the north, this heat still cannot be covered during the march.

During the years when Zhao Huang and Tang Chen were at war with the Xianbei people, they often took refuge in Youzhou. Therefore, I am very familiar with most of the terrain of Youzhou. Chen Xu led his troops to the expedition this time, and it was the two of them who were used as guides.

"My lord, there is a small river in front of you, and the water is very clear. Now that the weather is hot, why don't you let the soldiers and war horses go to drink some water and wash their faces? ”

Wiping the beads of sweat on his face, Zhao Huang patted his horse and came to Chen Xu and said to him.

Chen Xu also felt unbearably thirsty, and the weather was really hot, so he nodded.

Seven thousand soldiers and horses marched more than two miles, and sure enough, they saw a small river. When the soldiers saw this, they naturally ran into the river with cheers.

Chen Xu saw that the terrain was open and there was no way to hide the ambush, so he didn't stop it.

"After this war, I don't know how many of these soldiers will be able to come back alive."

Thinking of the difficulties in the future, Chen Xu couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
