While feeding the war horses with forage, Chen Xu was thinking about some other things.

Wu Ling's words also aroused some of his thoughts.

Since the amnesty of the world and he became the leader of the Puyang Righteous Army, in just half a year, it can be said that he has experienced countless thrilling things.

In his previous life, he had always lamented that his talent was useless, and in that busy and realistic society, sometimes even he felt numb.

He also once fantasized that one day he would be able to hold tens of thousands of male soldiers and dominate the world as written in the middle.

What was once a dream has now come true. But Chen Xu felt a trace of fatigue in his heart.

Since he became the leader of the rebel army, until now, his nerves have been highly tense almost every day.

Because he deeply knows that as the commander of an army, any small mistake he makes may bring disaster to the team he leads.

Now he has become Zhang Jiao's son-in-law and the new spiritual leader of countless Yellow Turban Army. He is walking on thin ice every day, leading this group of desperate people, struggling to resist.

Many times, he saw in his sleep that the Yellow Turbans were defeated by officers and soldiers, their families were slaughtered, and their heads were landscaped.

Sometimes, Chen Xu even dreamed that his head was flying in the sky, looking at his body with blood spraying on his neck.

At this time, Chen Xu would wake up suddenly, drenched in cold sweat.

"When you are ordinary, you want to live vigorously; After realizing his dream, he found that this was not the life he wanted. ”

Chen Xu smiled bitterly and thought secretly in his heart.

"If I have a choice, I would rather take Ling'er, as well as my uncle and aunt, to live an ordinary and worry-free life."

However, under this world, such an idea is an unattainable luxury.

"I haven't seen you for half a year, I don't know how good my uncle and aunt are?"

Although Chen Xu didn't spend much time with his uncle and aunt, he really felt the love of the two of them for him from the bottom of their hearts.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? Although his soul has changed, there is an inseparable emotion in his heart for the relatives of these two.

"Ling'er, are you okay?"

Suddenly, Chen Xu thought of that beautiful face, and a touch of tenderness flashed on his face.

Although the two have known each other for a short time and have never lived in a cave room, she is Chen Xu's nominal wife after all. Therefore, Chen Xu also has some worries and thoughts in his heart.

"If he hears the news of Zhang Bao's death, he will definitely be heartbroken again, right?"

Chen Xu unconsciously stroked the neck of the Xiliang BMW, but his thoughts drifted far away.

"After I finish rescuing the Yellow Turban Army in Xiaquyang, I will return to Mount Tai and have a good rest."

"Boom! Boom! ”

The Xiliang BMW seemed to see the owner's absent-mindedness, hissed a few times with some dissatisfaction, and gently rubbed Chen Xu's face with its huge head.

Chen Xu was bending over and lowering his head to think about things, and he was attacked by the horse unexpectedly, and suddenly felt a little itchy where the horse was rubbing.

He came back to his senses, looked at the mischievous appearance of the horse, and laughed heartily. Then, he stroked the horse's mane affectionately.

After resting for nearly an hour, the little marshal who went to Bo Luojin to reconnoitre, returned with more than a hundred elite Yellow Turban cavalry.

He had a strange look on his face.

Chen Xu saw Xiao Shuai's face, and his heart sank.

He also thought that the officers and soldiers were really stationed in Boluojin, so he couldn't help but hurriedly ask: "What is the result of the investigation?" ”

Xiao Shuai saluted Chen Xu, and then replied: "Qi Qi Qu Shuai, I will go to Boluojin and investigate carefully for a long time. In the end, only an empty camp was found, and no officers and soldiers were found stationed there. ”

"This, how is this possible?"

When Chen Xu heard this, his head was a little dead. Bo Luojin is such an important place, and the officers and soldiers actually did not station troops here?

"What's going on with that empty barracks?" Chen Xu was afraid that the officers and soldiers would play any tricks again, so he didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly asked.

Xiao Shuai's strange look on his face was even heavier, and he opened his mouth to reply: "When the last general first saw this situation, he was also puzzled in his heart. Later, he asked the tent soldiers to look for the nearby people and ask for details. ”

"Only later did I learn that there were originally 2,000 officers and soldiers stationed here. But today, when they heard the news that the soldier Cao Pengshi had been killed in battle, that the captain Cao Pengshi had been captured, and that almost all the remaining officers and soldiers had been killed, they were shocked and abandoned the village. ”

"What?"

Hearing this news, Chen Xu felt a little incredible.

He never thought that the soldiers of Anping would be so unbearable, and after hearing the news of the defeat of the friendly army, he abandoned the village and fled.

Chen Xu frowned and asked again, "Have you investigated in detail to determine whether there is fraud in it?" ”

The yellow turban nodded and said, "I have asked many local people, and they all say so. ”

"At first, I didn't believe it in my heart, but later I sent dozens of cavalry to pursue in the northeast direction, and sure enough, I saw the officers and soldiers fleeing in the direction of Nangong County."

"Qu Shuai, if we go to pursue now, with the speed of cavalry, we will definitely be able to catch up with the officers and soldiers and defeat all the 2,000 men and horses."

Speaking of this, the yellow turban handsome's face was full of excitement and a little eager to try.

Regarding the incident of the officers and soldiers abandoning the village and fleeing, Chen Xu was puzzled.

In fact, Cao Pengshi, the captain of Anping State, was originally stationed in Boluojin. However, Bing Cao Pengshi asked him to escort the grain and grass from Boluojin, so he stayed in Jingxian.

When Wei Cao Pengshi saw the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army, he wanted to make some credit, so he didn't go back. But he didn't want to, he died here with Bing Cao Pengshi.

The soldiers of Anping were originally a rabble, and most of the people who were sent to garrison Bo Luojin were old, weak, sick and disabled.

When they heard that Cao Pengshi, a soldier of the county, had died in battle, they were horrified. In addition, the main general did not know the life and death, and these people were afraid that the Yellow Turban Army would come to attack the camp, so they took the initiative to abandon the village and flee.

Chen Xu didn't know about these, so he felt confused.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Xu shook his head and said, "I don't know if there is any conspiracy among the officers and soldiers. Moreover, our primary purpose was to go north to rescue Xiaquyang, not to engage the officers and soldiers. ”

"Therefore, it is not advisable to pursue officers and soldiers. Now you immediately give orders to the three armies, divide the three teams, and prepare for the battle. We must heighten our vigilance and guard against ambushes by officers and men. ”

"Yes!"

Regarding Chen Xu's general order, this handsome man did not have the slightest objection. He answered, and went to give orders to the three armies.

It is no wonder that Chen Xu is so cautious, he was ambushed by officers and soldiers once, and almost lost his life.

As the saying goes, 'once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope', the battlefield is not a child's play, if you are not careful, you will die without a place to be buried.

Moreover, even if they really caught up with the 2,000 Yellow Turban Army and wiped them out, it would not be of any benefit to the Yellow Turban Army.

Although it was almost noon now, Chen Xu had no intention of burying the pot and cooking.

Their cavalry didn't have much food in the first place, and a lot of it was dry food. As long as the soldiers ordered water, they filled their stomachs, so there was no need to waste time burying the pot and cooking.

A group of cavalry galloped forward, and the closer they got to Bo Luojin, the more nervous Chen Xu became. He sent a lot of scouts to scout around to see if there was an ambush.

In addition to this, he himself carefully observed the terrain along the way, carefully inspecting the places where it was easy to hide ambushes. Only when he was sure that there were no officers and soldiers would he let the soldiers pass with confidence.

Due to Chen Xu's caution, the speed of the Yellow Turban Army slowed down a bit.

But the place where they stopped was not far from Bo Luojin. Therefore, it didn't take long for Chen Xu and others to come to the banks of the Zhanghe River.

Chen Xu rode on the horse, looking at the still empty camp of officers and soldiers, and then he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Order the three armies to cross the Zhanghe River quickly, and Hugh must stop."

did not cross the Zhanghe River, Chen Xu was somewhat unsteady in his heart. So, he ordered the Yellow Turban soldiers to cross the river quickly.

Chen Xu asked a member of the handsome to cross the river first, and after crossing some people, he asked them to set up a position on the other side of the river. He himself led two hundred men at the back of the line, keeping a close watch for possible attacks.

Three thousand people said that it was not too much, and that it was not too little.

Everyone was cavalry and elite soldiers, and although the bridge was not very wide, the Yellow Turban Army quickly crossed the Zhanghe River completely.

In the end, only the two hundred people led by Chen Xu had not crossed the river.

"Looks like I'm being too cautious." Chen Xu looked at the scene in front of him and smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

After Chen Xu crossed the river, he looked at the rushing Zhanghe River behind him, and felt some emotion in his heart.

When he was in Quzhou, he also watched the Zhanghe River. However, seeing the same river at different times and in different places will produce different thoughts.

The soldiers are ready to go, and Chen Xu doesn't have time to sigh all the time.

He just glanced at the Zhanghe River behind him, and muttered silently in his heart: "I, Chen Xu, will come back again." ”
