Tian Feng stood aside, looking at the Yellow Turban Army, who was originally afraid, but Chen Xu provoked the hatred and war intent in his heart between his words, and his face was very complicated.

"Qiao Gong looks at people really well, Chen Wenzhao is a natural commander. If you give him time to grow, this person will become extremely terrifying. ”

Chen Xu turned his head, walked in front of Tian Feng, took a deep look, and said: "I know that Mr. has a merciful heart, if Mr. has mercy on us homeless Yellow Turban Army, please help me and wait." ”

"If a great talent like Mr. can give us advice, although my Yellow Turban Army is weak, it is not afraid of officers and soldiers."

Shaking his head, Tian Feng sighed: "The most important thing for the Yellow Turban Army now is to preserve its strength. If you insist on fighting with Huangfu Song, you can only lose your life in vain. ”

"You will not raise an army out of anger, you act so recklessly, you are only bringing about your own destruction!"

Hearing Tian Feng's words, Chen Xu straightened up, stared at Tian Feng and said, "If I can defeat the officers and soldiers and kill the old thief of the emperor, is Mr. willing to give advice to my Yellow Turban Army?" ”

When Tian Feng heard this, he sneered and said loudly: "Ignorant and reckless, I don't want to be so angry. If you can really defeat the officers and soldiers and kill Huangfu Song, what if I, Tian Feng, entrust my life to you? ”

Chen Xu's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "Is that really the case?" ”

Tian Feng replied: "No repentance!" ”

"Hahahaha." Chen Xu laughed, stretched out his right hand, and said, "High-five as an oath!" ”

"Smack!"

Tian Feng also stretched out his right hand and slapped Chen Xu fiercely.

To be honest, he didn't believe that Chen Xu would be able to defeat the officers and soldiers, let alone kill Huangfu Song. In his opinion, this bet Chen Xu will definitely lose

If Chen Xu really has the talent of ghosts and gods and can defeat the officers and soldiers in this situation, even if he Tian Feng sells his life to the Yellow Turban Army, what will it be?

There is no doubt that Tian Feng is proud and confident.

If Chen Xu really has this talent, he believes that with his own resourcefulness and Chen Xu's ability to command the army, he will definitely be able to find a way out for the Yellow Turban Army.

Suddenly, Tian Feng was actually looking forward to it.

Chu Yan, Changshan is really a person. Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, he has gathered a group of teenagers to defect to Zhang Bao.

Because Chu Yan was a defender, agile, brave and good at fighting, and repeatedly made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, the sergeants and soldiers of the army called him 'Feiyan', and was later promoted by Zhang Bao to become the commander of the canal.

After Zhang Baozhongji died, Chu Yan suggested abandoning Quyang, first hiding in the mountains to temporarily avoid the edge of the officers and soldiers, and then planning major events.

But at that time, the Xiaqu Yang guard could not abandon the people in the city, so he did not follow Chu Yan's advice.

Chu Yan is an ambitious person, and most of the young people in the countryside he gathered are not followers of the Taiping Sect. They are all self-proclaimed ruffians who play games, often bullying men and women in the village.

Chu Yan is a righteous person, and the teenagers under him are also very convinced of him.

The enemy of the Yellow Turban Army was too strong, so Zhang Bao would accept Chu Yan's team. In fact, not only Zhang Bao's Xiaquyang, but also the Yellow Turban Army in other places have also incorporated local bandits.

Compared with those pure Yellow Turban Army, the discipline of these people is very bad. Fortunately, when the three Zhang Jiao brothers were alive, they could still restrain them, but after they died, these people had other thoughts.

Chu Yan saw the guards of Xia Quyang and wanted to defend the city. He naturally didn't want to stay in the city and die together, so he encouraged some of his subordinates to leave Xiaquyang at night.

When Chu Yan left, he only led more than 3,000 people.

However, now that the world has collapsed, there are countless homeless people and bandits, Chu Yan took more than 3,000 soldiers under his command, all the way north into Zhongshan Kingdom, and then west into his hometown Zhending.

Chu Yan recruited young and strong homeless people all the way, and recruited bandits and rogues, and it didn't take long for more than 10,000 people to gather.

Chu Yan was a wise and discerning man, and the army he led was transferred to various places, although after breaking through the powerful Wu Fort, there were many killings and robberies, but he did not harass the ordinary people.

After Huangfu Song completely annihilated Quyang's Yellow Turban Army, he was about to go south to exterminate Chen Xu, but found that there were many letters from Zhongshan and Changshan asking for help.

Chu Yan's wanton plundering in Zhongshan and Changshan made the local powerful and large families endanger.

In addition, Huangfu Song transferred a lot of troops from these two counties, which made the troops in these two counties somewhat scarce.

Chu Yan saw the opportunity, and even broke through several county towns in a row. He led people to slaughter all the county officials, and then after robbing the wealth in the warehouse, he burned down the county government and the warehouse.

After Huang Fusong saw the letter asking for help, he hesitated. He didn't know whether he should go south to eliminate Chen Xu first, or attack Chu Yan westward first.

At this time, one of the generals under his account said: "Chen Xu himself, although he is young, knows the art of war and strategy. Judging by its record, it can be said that it has won many battles. ”

He is not only talented himself, but also Zhang Jiao's son-in-law, occupying the identity of the Yellow Turban Army. If he finds an opportunity to take advantage of, he only needs to raise his arms and exhale, and the yellow turbans in the world will definitely flock to him and go to him. ”

"On the other hand, Chu Yan, although this person has some talents, but compared with Chen Xu, there is also a bit of a gap."

"From a certain point of view, Chu Yan's trouble is the itch of scabies, and the yellow turban Qu handsome Chen Xu is the trouble of my big man's henchman."

"If you don't take advantage of the fact that he only has 3,000 men and horses under him today, and annihilate him in one fell swoop, if you wait for him to grow stronger, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it."

When Huangfu Song heard this, Huo Ran woke up.

He asked again: "I heard that Chen Xu has 3,000 men and horses, all of whom are cavalry. If we had surrounded him with a large army, he would have fled. At that time, it will not be easy to annihilate this thief again. ”

At this time, another general said: "Looking at the use of soldiers by Chen Thief, he is bold and careful, cautious and good at taking risks. He led 3,000 cavalry to attack our grain routes and attack the counties; Retreat can wander around and save your life. ”

"Unless he holds the city, it will be difficult to annihilate it."

When Huangfu Song heard this, he was silent.

After completely pacifying the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang, Huangfu Song sent back the soldiers and volunteers recruited from other counties.

As a result, there were only 25,000 elite officers and soldiers left under Huangfu Song's account, of which only 3,000 cavalry.

After those soldiers left Guangzong, one of the generals asked Huangfu Song: "General, why don't we leave these soldiers behind and take them to eliminate the Chen thief, but let them go back?" ”

Huangfu Song did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "If you are a thief Chen, and you know that the strength of the officers and soldiers is more than ten times that of your own, will you stay in Jizhou to deal with us?" ”

When the general heard this, he suddenly realized.

"Moreover, now the emptiness of the domestic forces in Changshan and Zhongshan has made Chu Yan rampant. If these soldiers were to be put back, they would surely deter the thief from acting rashly. ”

"Stabilize the situation in these two counties first, and after I eliminate the Chen thief, it's not too late to exterminate this gang of rebels."

After finishing speaking, Huangfu Song rubbed his brows, a little tired.

Since he led the army to suppress the Yellow Turban, although he must win every battle, it seems that the scenery is infinite. But he is trembling every day, walking on thin ice, for fear that if he is not careful, he will be doomed.

What he has to face is not only the Yellow Turban Army, but also the intricate court. It can be said that the danger of the latter is far greater than that of the former.

No matter how many feats he makes, if he loses on the battlefield, he will definitely be attacked and annihilated by the eunuchs.

Huangfu Song came to the side of the desk, looked at the map above, and frowned.

It has been several days since the Yellow Turban Army in Xiaquyang was wiped out by officers and soldiers, and it is said that Chen Xu has already received the news. However, the news that the scouts came to report still showed that he was leading 3,000 Yellow Turban cavalry all the way to the north.

"Does he want to come and fight me to the death?"

Huangfu Song thought of this, and secretly felt funny. Unless Chen Xu went crazy, he decided not to dare to lead three thousand cavalry north and fight with him.

If Chen Xu really acted like this, Huangfu Song would breathe a sigh of relief.

He was not afraid to engage the Yellow Turbans, but he was afraid that they would hide when the officers and soldiers came; After the officers and soldiers were gone, they came out again to plunder everywhere.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. A young talent like Chen Wenzhao was forced into the camp of the Yellow Turban Army by the Ten Standing Attendants. ”

"If the Yellow Turban Army didn't have this son, when I was in Guangzong, I would have been able to completely annihilate the Yellow Turbans there."

Thinking of Chen Xu's several achievements, Huangfu Song couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

"Now, the tent boys should have almost rested, right? It's time to go south to encircle and suppress Chen Xu. ”

At this moment, a captain escorted a big man to Huangfu Song and kicked the man to the ground.

Then, he said to Huangfu Song: "General, there are two soldiers under the tent of the last general who make trouble, causing unrest in the military camp. ”

"The last general will find out the cause of the matter, and only then will he know that this man is a prince, but he has accepted bribes, and the reward and punishment are unknown."

"He ignored the other two team leaders who had made great achievements, and instead promoted those who had no military achievements to be the commander."

"The two teams who had made meritorious contributions were not convinced, but they were beaten by this fight. His actions made the soldiers feel cold. So much so that the soldiers under the tents of the two teams all made a fuss. ”

"At the end of today, the general will specially arrest him and leave him at the disposal of the general."

After listening to the captain's report, Huangfu Song didn't say anything, but just came to this prince and personally untied the rope on his body.

Then, Huangfu Song said: "I think he is mighty and majestic, not a greedy person, he accepts or bribes, there must be something unspeakable." ”

Huangfu Song helped the prince to his feet and asked, "Why are you acting like this?" ”

The man stood up, but said in a vigorous voice: "The imperial court's money has not been all distributed, and all the children in my family have to count on my money to live, if you don't take bribes, how can you support your family?" ”

When the captain heard this, he was furious and drew his sword to kill the prince.
