Huangfu Song looked at the morale-boosting Yellow Turban Army, and was resentful in his heart.

Although the officers and men have not shown signs of defeat at present, this method of operation is equivalent to a war of attrition. After several battles against the Yellow Turbans, there are only more than 20,000 soldiers left under Huangfu Song's account.

If the Yellow Turban Army is exhausted here, then how can there be troops to attack Zhang Bao in the north?

Although he has made great achievements in battle, the officers and soldiers he led will not retreat even in the face of the Yellow Turban Army, which is several times his size. In this case, even if the officers and soldiers are completely damaged, according to the family background of the Han family, it is nothing.

If you really fight to the death, it will be beneficial to the Han family.

But now the eunuchs are in power and control the government. If the Ten Standing Servants slander in front of His Majesty, Huangfu Song will fight for all the officers and soldiers, and I am afraid that he will incur the disaster of killing himself.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Song's face was cloudy. Eventually, he gritted his teeth, stopped beating the drums, and began to call his troops back.

These officers and soldiers really deserve to be the elite troops of the Han Dynasty.

Even when the fierce battle was in full swing, when they heard the sound of Mingjin, they did not panic, and they did not retreat in a swarm. Instead, they formed a battle formation and slowly withdrew from the battlefield.

Chen Xu and Chen Hu led the tired Yellow Turban Army, rushing left and right. Although the two were brave, the officers and soldiers cooperated tacitly, but they were unable to break through the formation of the officers and soldiers.

Hearing the sound of the officers and soldiers, the Yellow Turban Army, including Chen Xu, not only did not have the slightest desire to pursue, but was full of momentum.

After a long time of running thousands of miles, coupled with the fierce battle just now, the physical strength of these elites in the Yellow Turban Army had already reached its limit, and even Chen Xu himself was a little unbearable.

The officers and soldiers slowly retreated, and the Yellow Turban Army also stopped the pursuit.

Chen Jing immediately began to send people to the lower reaches of the Qing River to salvage the Yellow Turban Army who had thrown themselves into the river. If you're lucky, you'll be able to save some people.

Zhang Ling saw that the war had calmed down, and a smile appeared on her pretty face.

She put down the mallet in her hand and rubbed her somewhat sore arm.

"Miss! The great sage and good teacher died, and the general Rengong also died in battle! ”

"Miss! Miss! ”

Many of Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army, they surrounded from everywhere, knelt on the ground next to Zhang Ling and wept bitterly.

Hearing these two bad news, Zhang Ling, who was already exhausted, turned even more pale, and her big eyes were full of tears.

The news of her father's death, Zhang Ling actually expected it a long time ago. She is well-versed in medicine and knows her father's body very well. When Zhang Jiao hurriedly promised her to Chen Xu, she had already guessed this ending.

What she didn't expect was that the uncle who loved her had also died in battle.

Zhang Ling's body shook a little, she wanted to cry, but when she saw her lover standing in the distance, she forcibly stopped her tears.

She knew that Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army, they had been crying for long enough. What they need now is not grief, but hope.

Wiping a handful of tears from her eyes, Zhang Ling walked to the front and said loudly to the Yellow Turban Army kneeling on the ground: "Fellow soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, I am also very saddened by the death of Ah Weng and my uncle. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Ling's voice was crying.

She desperately wiped the tears from her face and continued: "However, our Yellow Turban Army has shed too much blood and tears, and we have seen too many relatives leave us. ”

"General Tiangong and General Rengong are no longer there. But General Digong is still here, and I, Zhang Ling, are still here. ”

"What's more, you Yellow Turban soldiers are still there. In this case, our Yellow Turban Army has not failed! ”

Zhang Ling clenched her little fists, waved her arms, and said loudly. Her voice is very crisp and also very nice.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army did not say a word and listened carefully.

"Soldiers, Huang Tian is not dead, the yellow scarf is still there! Lift up your right hands and wipe away the tears from your faces. We, the Yellow Turbans, now need to fight, not grieve. ”

"If there is still blood in your hearts, if you still remember my last wish. So, stand up, the morning sun has risen, and how can the dark clouds cover the sky? ”

Chen Xu's eyes were strange, and he silently watched everything from a distance, without saying a word. He knew that now was the time for Zhang Ling to perform.

Although he is the son-in-law of a great virtuous teacher, after all, time is still short. His weight in the hearts of these Yellow Turban Army is far from being comparable to Zhang Ling.

"What a Zhang Ling, what a strange woman. If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? ”

Standing in the distance and watching Zhang Ling's performance, Chen Xu secretly sighed in his heart.

Listening to the words of the great sage and good teacher's daughter, the Yellow Turban Army, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up one after another. They wiped tears from their faces, and their eyes once again radiated a sparkle of hope.

Yes, the yellow scarf is still there, how can you talk about despair?

Chen Xu looked at the performance of the Guangzong Yellow Turban Army and knew that they had regained their faith, and the smile on his face.

At this moment, Wang Yan walked over in a military uniform. He also led his soldiers to kill the enemy bravely, and his body was already stained red with blood.

When he came to Chen Xu's side, he saluted Chen Xu in the morning, and then hurriedly asked: "Qu Shuai, the people you want to save are only these Yellow Turban Army, or those Yellow Turban family members of Guangzong?" ”

"If it's just these people, our goal has been achieved, we just need to return to the boundary bridge, and after resting, we can turn back to Mount Tai."

"If it includes those Yellow Turban family members of Guangzong, how long will we wait if we don't take advantage of the fact that the officers and soldiers are not firmly established and recapture Guangzong?"

Wang Yan woke up the person in the dream with a word, Chen Xu slapped his forehead, and said loudly: "If it weren't for the Jun Pavilion to tell me, I am afraid that something will be wrong!" ”

Although Huangfu Song attacked Guangzong at night, Guangzong was the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and there were many family members of the Yellow Turban Army in it. Even, there were many Yellow Turban soldiers hiding in the city and were not driven to Qinghe.

If Chen Xu led his troops to attack Guangzong at this time, the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City and those family members would definitely respond from within. In this way, the Yellow Turban Army can defeat Guangzong in one fell swoop.

On the contrary, if Chen Xu and the others are stuck now, after Huangfu Song completely controls Guangzong, Chen Xu and the others want to break through the city, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu couldn't care about the fatigue on his body, he walked quickly to Zhang Ling's side, pulled out his sword, and shouted at those Yellow Turban Army: "Although you and others were able to escape with their lives, but your family members are still in Guangzong, if I don't take advantage of the situation to seize Guangzong, when will we wait?" ”

Hearing Chen Xu's words, these Yellow Turban soldiers came back to their senses. That's when they began to worry about their families in the city.

With Chen Xu's raised arms, these Yellow Turban Army, who were eager to save people, immediately responded like a cloud.

Considering the more than 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers he brought, their physical strength had reached the limit. Chen Xu ordered them to hand over their weapons and armor to the Yellow Turban Army who had escaped from Guangzong, and then led everyone to kill Guangzong.

He asked the remaining unarmed Yellow Turban Army to be stationed at the boundary bridge to rest.

Guangzong is close to the boundary bridge and lives next to the Qinghe River. Chen Xu led everyone, and as soon as he arrived outside Guangzong City, he saw that black smoke was still billowing out of the city, and the flames were soaring into the sky.

Chen Xu led everyone to attack the city urgently, but the city gate was closed, and the Yellow Turban Army had no siege equipment in their hands, so they were unable to conquer the east gate.

At this time, Wang Yan once again stepped forward to advise: "Our army is numerous, and there are few thieves. If our army attacks the four gates separately, the officers and men will definitely be scattered. At that time, the yellow turbans in the city should be combined with the outside, and our army will definitely be able to take advantage of the situation to break through the city gate. ”

Chen Xu thought so and acted according to the plan. Ling Wang Yan, Chen Hu, and Chen Jing each led a group of men and horses to attack the west, south, and north gates respectively.

Huangfu Song stood on the city wall, watched the Yellow Turban soldiers go to attack the city in four ways, sighed secretly in his heart, and then ordered: "The whole army listens to the order and abandons the city." ”

Listening to Huangfu Song's military order, although the officers and soldiers were reluctant in their hearts, they also knew that now there were hidden worries in Guangzong and a great enemy outside. Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for them to hold Guangzong.

The officers and soldiers broke through from the west gate, abandoned the city and fled, and Chen Xu did not waste his efforts to recapture Guangzong City.

After capturing Guangzong, Chen Xu found that the city was a complete mess.

Before the officers and soldiers left, a fire burned the grain and grass stored by the Yellow Turban Army of Guangzong. Chen Xu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent someone to put out the fire. Rao is like this, and the Yellow Turban Army only rescued 12 out of 12 supplies.

In Guangzong City, corpses were everywhere, and many houses were burned down by officers and soldiers. They were angry in their hearts, and they slaughtered many people of Guangzong wherever they passed.

Huangfu Song knew that there were many people in Guangzong City who were inextricably linked with the Yellow Turban Army, so he did not prohibit everyone's actions.

Moreover, the food that the officers and soldiers had taken away from their mouths again, and they all held back their anger. At this time, let them vent appropriately, so that the officers and soldiers can be more stable.

Fortunately, Chen Xu and others came quickly, and the officers and soldiers did not have a lot of time to kill people and play with women. Otherwise, Guangzong's situation would be ten times worse than what Chen Xu saw now.
