Although Chen Xu's reply was a bit rebellious, he was already titled a thief, so do you still need to worry a lot?

If he was still squirming at this time, and couldn't say the answer that Tian Feng wanted to hear, wouldn't it make this celebrity feel cold?

The celebrities of this era, although they have the world in mind, but more of them want to go down in history.

What did everyone work so hard to choose the Lord for? Isn't it so that you can show what you have learned in your chest and be able to seal the shade?

If the lord to whom they have defected is not ambitious and cannot meet the wishes of the soldiers under his tent, it will make everyone feel cold.

After Cao Cao monopolized the power and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he first made a duke, and then a king. Even though there were many people who objected, he insisted on doing so.

Is it really because he loves vanity and covets these titles?

It is undeniable that when a person stands at the top of the world, his eyes will naturally look up. Power, at times, fuels ambition.

However, Cao Cao's title of duke, and even the title of king, was not only for himself, but also for the generals who served him.

If his title becomes higher, it is natural that the official positions of his generals will also rise.

Every time Cao Cao's position progressed, his group would inevitably carry out an action of conferring official titles.

On the contrary, if he did not do so, his men would have done great things. But if the official position and title can't go up, what will these people think?

As the lord of a group, he must first ensure that his official title is at the top of the group.

The generals under his account, no matter how great their merits, their officials must not be above Cao Cao.

In this way, the more credit is made by the generals under his command. When their official positions have been promoted to the point where they can no longer be promoted, Cao Cao will inevitably promote his title so that he can once again give his subordinates knighthoods.

In the same way, if Chen Xu has no ambitions, he just wants to survive in the troubled times. Then these followers of him will not be able to obtain glory and wealth, and they will not be able to provide shade and shelter.

It may seem cheesy to say, but it's a fact.

No matter who you are, you can't escape the word 'fame and fortune'.

Even those who die for their lordship are bound by so-called fame.

Whether it's for loyalty or righteousness. In the end, it's all about fame.

Hearing Chen Xu's reply, a smile finally bloomed on Tian Feng's face. Chen Xu faced him and was able to answer like this, which shows that he really regards himself as a confidant.

There are some things that can be done but not said.

Just like Cao Cao in history, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Han Emperor is just a puppet in his hands. However, at least on the surface, Cao Cao still had to identify himself as a courtier of the Han family.

It's called being able to do, but not being able to say.

But when Chen Xu faced Tian Feng, he said it bluntly.

Even if he is already known as a thief, it takes a lot of courage and unparalleled trust to speak in front of others.

Just like Zhang Jiao in the past, although he raised troops to rebel, he did not dare to say that he wanted to be the king of the world. He still has to hold the banner of building a peaceful world and being the master of the poor people in the world before he dares to make trouble.

Tian Feng took a deep breath, pointed to the sky, and then to the earth, and said: "The Lord knows about this matter, I know, God knows, and the earth knows." ”

After speaking, he knelt on the ground and said solemnly: "Since the lord has such a grand ambition, Feng dares not to help him with death?" ”

Chen Xu picked up Tian Feng, held his arm and said, "How can Xu Hede, how can he get Mr. to help him?" I don't want my husband to help him with death, I just want to stand at the top of the world with my husband and strive to make the lives of the people in the world better. ”

"Taihang Mountain stretches for more than 800 miles, spanning several states and counties, Mr. thinks, where should we be based?"

Tian Feng came to the side of the map, pointed to the junction of You, Bing, and Hebei Prefectures, and said, "This place is enough to accommodate you." ”

"This place is the intersection of Yanmen County, Youzhou Dai County, and Changshan Country of Jizhou."

"The Han law stipulates: The soldiers of the county and the state shall not attack thieves across the border without an edict."

"At that time, if the officers and soldiers of Yanmen County encircle and suppress, we will not fight with it, and only hide in the territory of Daijun and Changshan, and we will be safe. In the same way, if the other two counties come to attack, we can also hide in the other two counties. ”

"Moreover, this place leads to Wutai Mountain in the west, Hengshan Mountain in the north, Niuyin Mountain in the south, and water in the east. There is a barrier of three mountains and a source of water for a river. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, even if the Han family raises millions of soldiers, what can it withstand me? ”

Chen Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, stroked his palm and smiled: "I have a husband, why worry about the big thing?" ”

Since then, Chen Xu has treated Tian Feng more generously, and every day he has leisure, he talks with Feng about the world's affairs. For Tian Feng's strategies, he often obeys his words.

Not to mention that Chen Xu and Tian Feng are suitable for the two monarchs and ministers, but it is said that since that day, Chen Xu has divided his troops into four ways and started to act.

All the way to Mount Tai, write a book to Chen Jing, Dian Wei, Wang Yan, and let them wait for the opportunity to transfer.

The second road condemned Yang Feng as a general, Tian Feng as a military advisor, led him to the Yellow Turban Army, the first to arrive in the Taihang Mountain, and chose a good location to set up camp for the future.

The third route was Bai Rao as the commander, leading the people who came to Zhending to defect to the Yellow Turban Army, as well as those bandits and rogues to Taihang Mountain.

Chen Xu personally led the fourth road of men and horses, with 3,000 cavalry along the way to attack the city, break the strong Wu Fort in the evil township, and loot money and grain for future use.

The Yellow Turban Army carried the prestige of the great victory over Huangfu Song, and everywhere it passed, all the officials abandoned the city and fled. Chen Xu effortlessly conquered several county seats.

Then, he asked the Yellow Turban Army to take away all the money and food in the county government.

For a time, the entire Changshan country was shaken, and many local wealthy families in the evil township fled their hometowns with their families.

Those wealthy families who have a good reputation are also worried in their hearts. Fortunately, Chen Xu did not commit any offense against these people.

He Yi, Liu Bi, Huang Shao, He Man and others of the Yellow Turban remnants of Runan and Yingchuan were killed by Zhu Jun and fled in all directions, embarrassed.

When they heard that Chen Xu had broken the officers and soldiers in Jizhou and killed Huangfu Song, they contacted each other and wanted to go north to Chen Xu.

Zhu Jun was urged by the Son of Heaven every day to let him sweep away the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou as soon as possible and go north to attack the thieves.

Zhu Jun was troubled, and suddenly heard that all the yellow scarves in Yuzhou were going north, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to everyone: "This day will help me." ”

Then, Zhu Jun led his troops north.

However, it is said that after Emperor Lu Zhihan was released from prison, the Son of Heaven asked him to go to Jizhou, take over the 20,000 foot soldiers who were abandoned by Huangfu Song, and urged him to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.

For a time, the war in the entire Jizhou once again affected everyone's hearts.

In Liao Tao City, when Lu Zhi arrived here with hundreds of personal soldiers and starry nights, he couldn't help but cry secretly after seeing the dilapidated county guard's mansion.

Huangfu Song was here at that time, leaving behind 20,000 elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

However, due to the departure of the commander and many generals, coupled with the news that everyone learned of Huangfu Song's death in battle, coupled with the annoyance that the imperial court did not pay military salaries, many people began to harass the people in the city.

The Taishou of Julu County and a cadre of officials were slaughtered on the day the Yellow Turban Army broke the city.

Until now, the imperial court has not appointed a new Julu County Taishou. As a result, the military discipline of officers and soldiers who are not restrained by officials is becoming more and more corrupt.

They broke into people's homes, plundered property, and took women captive. It made the people in the city miserable, and many people were humiliated, and they fled from the city with their families.

There are even people who make a song and say: "The army is not the army, the thief is not the thief, and the official's head hangs on the wall." The yellow scarf was raised, and the officers and soldiers were defeated, but the small people were bullied. ”

As soon as Lu Zhi entered the city, he saw a lot of people crying on the streets. After learning the details, he was even more depressed.

Now that the New Year is approaching, the weather is freezing cold, but the officers and men not only do not have military salaries, but they have not even received new padded jackets.

Coupled with the fact that the Lord will die in battle and have no one to restrain them, is it wrong that they have become like this now?

Lu Zhi is a great Confucian in the world, and he has the feelings of helping the world and saving the country and compassion for the world. Seeing that Dahan has become like this now, thinking of the death of his friend Huangfu Song, he is even more sad in his heart.

However, since the imperial court sent him to quell the rebellion, he had to take on this responsibility.

After adjusting his mood, he said to his own soldiers: "You wait for me to take my military order, and all the generals above the prince and marquis who go to the generals are gathered." ”

It didn't take long for many people with decadent faces and even some drunken lieutenant generals and officers to come to Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi looked around at everyone and said sharply: "As an officer and soldier, you act like a bandit, conniving at your subordinates, and wantonly bullying the people of Shaotao City, can you be convicted?" ”

Hearing Lu Zhi's words, these generals were still a little unconvinced.

Lu Zhi suddenly said loudly: "Where are you left and right, drag all these people out and behead them!" ”

When the general heard this, he was shocked. When they saw Lu Zhi's wolf-like soldiers, they really pounced on them, and immediately hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy loudly.

At this time, a person under Lu Zhi's tent suddenly said: "General, although these people should be killed, but now the yellow turban thieves are rampant, and it is the time to employ people." If you kill the general before the battle, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the morale of the army. Please think again, general! ”

"It's better to let these people temporarily take their original positions and make meritorious contributions. They are grateful for the general's grace not to kill, and they will definitely repay it with death. ”

The generals who were pressed to the ground hurriedly responded and said: "Please also ask the general to spare me from dying, he will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy on the battlefield, so that he can make meritorious contributions." ”

Lu Zhi pondered for a while, and then said: "Since this is the case, let's keep Deer and other lives first, and if there is another offense, I will not be spared." ”

When the generals heard this, they hurriedly nodded and responded: "I will never dare to do it again!" ”

Lu Zhi was about to say something, when he suddenly heard someone report that Liu Bei had come to defect with five hundred soldiers.

Lu Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this.

Liu Bei was his disciple. When he conquered the Yellow Turban Army before, he knew that the two tiger generals under Liu Bei's account had the courage of ten thousand people.

This expedition to the Yellow Turban, with the help of Liu Bei's three brothers, will definitely be able to succeed immediately.
