Regarding whether to take the initiative to send troops to defeat the Yellow Turban Army, the county officials were a little hesitant.

Chen Xu urged several times, but he was fooled by Qiao Mao. In the end, he could only return to the barracks sullenly.

After another half a month, an urgent report came from Dong'a, and after Qiao Yao read it, he did not dare to slack off and summoned the county Chinese military officials to come to discuss the matter.

As soon as Chen Xu entered the county guard's mansion, he saw Qiao Mao hurriedly step forward, grabbed Chen Xu's hand, and said with a remorseful face: "I regret not listening to Wen Zhao's words, but I don't want the Yellow Turban Army to really rise again and attack the county seat again, with great momentum." ”

After speaking, Qiao Mao showed Chen Xu the emergency report in his hand. After Chen Xu finished reading it, he was silent.

A few days ago, Wang Du, the county of Dong'e, rebelled, leading many homeless people in the city to wipe yellow scarves on their heads, shouting 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand', and after robbing the goods in the warehouse, he burned down the warehouse in the county.

The county commander was afraid, abandoned the city and fled, the county army was in turmoil, and the officials and people did not dare to stay in the city, carrying the old and young families to the east and the hills.

It is said that there is a person in Dong'e, surnamed Cheng Mingyu, whose name is Zhongde, who is eight feet three inches long and has a beautiful beard and long hair. This person's real name is Li, because he held the sun in Mount Tai in his dream, and changed his name to Yu.

His personality is rigid, resourceful, bold, and a genius of the world, and he has long been famous in the state and county, and even Chen Gong is dwarfed by it.

But because of his own character, he often offends people, and although he is famous, many people do not want to associate with him. So although he is thirty out of forty, he still has never been out of office, and he has been regretting it in his heart when he stays at home in vain.

Cheng Yu saw the rebellion of the county king, and felt that this was a godsend, if he could make some contributions at this time, and then rely on his reputation, it would be no problem to become a leader in the future.

Cheng Yu sent people to reconnoiter Wang Du, and found that Wang Du had an empty city but did not have enough troops to defend the city, so he led the rebels out of the city five or six miles west of the city.

So, Cheng Yu said to Xue Fang and others in the county: "Now Wang Du and others can't live in the city, and the situation can be known." This is just a desire to capture and plunder property, and it is not the will of strong armor and sharp soldiers to attack and defend. Why don't you return to the city and defend it now? And the city is high and thick, with a lot of grain and rice, if you still ask for orders and hold on to it, it will not last long, and it can be broken. ”

Xue Fang and the others thought so, but the officials were afraid and refused to obey, and said: "The thieves are in the west, and we can only flee to the east to avoid the thieves." If the thieves were for money, they would not come against us, so that we could save our lives. ”

Seeing this, Cheng Yu said to Xue Fang and the others: "It is difficult for these foolish people to become a big thing, don't discuss with them anymore." ”

So, Cheng Yu secretly sent several horsemen to raise the banner of Wang Du on the East Mountain, and let Xue Fang and others see it, and then shouted loudly, "The thief has arrived".

The people really thought that Wang Du and the others had called, and in a panic, they had to follow Xue Fang and the others to the west. Everyone passed by the county seat and saw that there were no thieves in the city, so they all hid in the city.

The officials and the people felt that they had run to the east, and Wang Du was still in hot pursuit, for fear that Wang Du would attack the city and his own life would not be guaranteed, so they asked to see the county order and asked to defend the county seat with him.

When Wang Du saw that everyone had returned to the county, he was furious, so he led the people to attack the city, and the officials and the people fought to defend the city.

But he didn't want Cheng Yu to lead the county officials and people to open the city gate to chase and kill Wang Du. Caught off guard, Wang Du and others were defeated, and Dong'e was saved.

After being silent for a long time, Chen Xu sighed slightly, he didn't expect that the little Dongjun would actually Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the two top strategists in the Three Kingdoms period, Cheng Yu and Chen Gong were born here.

Seeing that Chen Xu was silent for a long time, Qiao Mao couldn't help but say out loud: "After Wang Duna was defeated and left, he actually went into the mountains to join Wang Yan and asked him to send troops to attack Dong'e and kill Cheng Yu. ”

"But I don't want Wang Yan to think that Wang Du rebelled against the court under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, and for the sake of disaster in the township, not only did not take him in, but beheaded him for public display."

After Wang Yan incorporated the rout brought by Wang Du, he recruited a lot of homeless homeless people, and when he saw that there was little grain and grass left in his house, he took advantage of the situation to raise troops and invade Dong'a. Now that Dong'e is in danger, I don't know if Wen Zhao has a good way to retreat? ”

After speaking, Qiao Mao looked at Chen Xu expectantly.

After listening to Qiao Mao's words, Chen Xu felt that the doubts in his heart were gone.

He had always disliked the Yellow Turban Army in the past, because later generations had heard a lot of evil deeds of the Yellow Turban Army, saying that they burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil, which made it more difficult for the people of the Han Dynasty to survive after the uprising.

But in this era, the Yellow Turban Army he saw, they showed no mercy to the strong and the scholars, but they did not commit any offense to the common people, and if there was surplus food, they would even help those homeless homeless.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising, I don't know how many careerists they used the banner of the Yellow Turban Army to do evil everywhere and ruin the reputation of the Yellow Turban Army.

And Wang Du is one of them.

Wang Yan is not a mediocre talent, and he knows the importance of the people's heart, so he never harms the people. Even when Bu Ji died in battle, some of his subordinates proposed to attack Chenjia Village, and Tu Village vented his anger, but he also vetoed it.

Since Qiao Mao asked, Chen Xu didn't dare to slack off, thought for a while, and said: "For today's plan, Qiao Gong can recruit the private soldiers of Puyang's powerful and wealthy families to defend the city, and then go to support Dong'e as a county sergeant." ”

Hearing this, Qiao Mao was stunned for a moment, and her face showed a suspicious look.

After the previous wars, although the officers and men won a great victory, they also suffered a lot of losses, and now there are only more than 3,000 sergeants and soldiers in the county. On the contrary, after Wang Yan incorporated Wang Du's defeated army and recruited the displaced people, his strength increased greatly, and now there are more than 7,000 people.

"The combat power of the Yellow Turban Army is extraordinary, and now the strength of the army is several times that of mine, even if you do all the officers and soldiers in the county, I am afraid you will not be able to break the thief."

Although he believed in Chen Xu's ability to command the army, Qiao Mao was still a little hesitant, and the rest of the county officials also thought the same.

Chen Xu was not angry, and patiently explained: "This time, that time!" From a certain point of view, now that the army is marching, the Yellow Turban Army has suffered five defeats. ”

"The Yellow Turban Army attacked before, it was after the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou broke the officers and soldiers, plus Bu Ji was not dead, the Yellow Turban Army was unanimous, so it had such combat effectiveness."

"Today, although the yellow scarves are numerous, their momentum has declined. The news that General Huangfu broke the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou must have spread all over the Han Dynasty now, and if the Yellow Turban Army knew about it, it would definitely be cold in his heart. Cowardice before fighting, this is a defeat for the Yellow Turban Army! ”

"Although Wang Yan's yellow scarf is twice as large as mine, it is a mixture of fish and dragons, both Wang Du's defeated army and newly recruited displaced people. In the short term, it will definitely not be able to achieve unity, and it will be a rabble, which is the second defeat of the Yellow Turban Army! ”

"Bu Ji died, the Yellow Turban was in civil strife, the Yellow Turban leader suffered countless casualties, the Yellow Turban Army must be panicked, and it will be difficult to get through, which is a taboo for the soldiers, and this is the third defeat of the Yellow Turban Army!"

"Dong Ah Cheng Zhongde, the genius of the world, one person can reach a thousand troops. Moreover, the soldiers and civilians of Dong'e had just repelled Wang Du's rebels, and their morale was greatly boosted, and in their eagerness, Wang Yanxiu wanted to break through Dong'e. If it can't be attacked for a long time, it is bound to decline, and this is the fourth defeat of the Yellow Turban Army! ”

"Our army has won successive battles, and its morale is high, and the soldiers will definitely use their lives when fighting; On the other hand, the Yellow Turban Army has been defeated repeatedly, and the army has no fighting spirit, which is the fifth defeat of the Yellow Turban Army! ”

Chen Xu said a lot of things, and the county officials listened with confidence one by one, and they didn't think too much about the far-fetched 'Yellow Turban Army's five defeats', and they all applauded.

Qiao Mao was infected by Chen Xu's self-confidence, and also said: "Since Wen Zhao has the confidence to break the enemy, how can we cower and speak out to stop it?" ”

"I only hope that Wen Zhao will break the yellow scarf again and make miraculous achievements, after the yellow scarf is pacified, I will definitely go to the court to ask for merit for Wen Zhao."

Chen Xu hurriedly saluted and said loudly: "In this way, Xu will thank Qiao Gong first." ”

Not to mention that in the county guard's mansion, Chen Xu confidently said that he could defeat the Yellow Turban, and then went to the school to order troops and announced the expedition.

After several wars, the former recruits are no longer afraid of war. Although many robes died in battle, they died well, at least the lives of their own families improved a lot.

The privatization of the booty, combined with the generosity of the generals, who never embezzled or withheld the spoils of the spoils, made the soldiers willing to go to war again.

After all, at least in the army, they will not be like before, tired all day but without food and clothing, now as long as they fight bravely and have to pay, they will be rewarded.

And what about the Yellow Turban Army twice as many officers and soldiers? In previous wars, Chen Xu's anticipation of the enemy's opportunities and excellent command skills had already made the county sergeants have blind admiration for him.

All of a sudden, everyone began to gear up.

Seeing the performance of the soldiers, the county officials no longer hesitated to take the initiative to defeat the Yellow Turban Army this time, and fully supported Chen Xu.

Compared with the grinding fists of the soldiers and the support of the county officials, in fact, Chen Xu had some ups and downs in his heart.

If Zhang Jiao is not dead, the faith of the Yellow Turban Army will not collapse. The Yellow Turban Army with faith is absolutely very scary.

However, after being reminded by Chen Gong, Chen Xu knew that he had no way out, and in order to clear up his relationship with the Yellow Turban Army, there was only one battle!
