After asking the person brought by Xiaoshuai in detail, Chen Xu learned the cause and effect of the incident.

It turned out that Huangfu Song saw that Guangzong was difficult to conquer, so he withdrew from Wei County and used it to confuse Chen Xu.

After he led his troops to Quzhou, he let the soldiers of the counties near Quzhou enter the city, and then raised flags and shouted loudly every day.

He himself led the elite officers and soldiers to secretly march towards Quyang.

But he said that some time ago, Zhang Bao was worried about his lack of success, and suddenly heard the bad news that Zhang Jiao died of illness and Zhang Liang died in battle, and he was so sad that he fainted several times.

Later, the scout came with the news that it was his niece who was married to a yellow turban Qu Shuai named Chen Xu. When the city of Guangzong was broken, this person led more than 10,000 Yellow Turban troops to come to the rescue, saved countless Yellow Turban Army, and then recaptured Guangzong.

After hearing the news, Zhang Bao felt a little better. Being able to rescue the Yellow Turban Army from Huangfu Song's men and capture Guangzong shows the extraordinary nature of this person.

In addition to his grief, he was also happy that his niece had found a good home.

It didn't take long for the officers and soldiers to cut off the way for the Yellow Turban scouts to go south. Since then, Zhang Bao has lost the news of Chen Xu and others.

It is said that before Zhang Bao was killed, he suddenly heard news from the scouts, saying that Guangzong was broken by officers and soldiers. When Chen Xu and others came to Xiaquyang to defect to him, the officers and soldiers chased and killed, and now they are being besieged by the officers and soldiers.

When Zhang Bao heard the news, he was shocked and was about to go to pick up Chen Xu and the others.

Fortunately, in the Yellow Turban Army in Xiaquyang, there is a Qu Shuai who is cautious by nature, and he suggests that after Zhang Bao investigates the situation, it is not too late to go to the rescue.

Zhang Bao followed the advice of the commander and sent scouts to investigate, and sure enough, between Jin County and Linping, he found a Yellow Turban Army besieged by officers and soldiers.

Zhang Bao was afraid that his niece and niece and son-in-law would lose, so he had to do his best to rescue the Yellow Turban Army.

Qu Shuai, the member who had advised Zhang Bao to be cautious, said again: "Xiaquyang is the foundation of the Yellow Turban Army, and there is no room for error. It's better for General Digong to sit here, and I will lead 10,000 horses to go, and I will definitely be able to save Miss. ”

Zhang Bao replied at the time: "Although Ling'er is my niece, I treat her like my own child." Today, she and her beloved are besieged by officers and soldiers, how can I, as an uncle, not go to the rescue in person? ”

So he didn't listen to the words of the commander and insisted on leading the troops to the rescue in person. Fortunately, he still had some sense, and only led 10,000 soldiers and horses.

The real Chen Xu was in Guangzong at this time, and Zhang Bao led his troops to rescue the so-called Yellow Turban Army, which was undoubtedly the strategy of the officers and soldiers.

Zhang Bao, who was ambushed, was killed by random arrows from officers and soldiers, and the 10,000 Yellow Turban Army he led were also seven or eight dead.

However, it is said that there is a scholar in Jizhou, whose surname is frustrated and his name is given, and the word is public, and this person has a great talent. At the beginning, it was the order of Linping County, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, and after Zhang Bao occupied Quyang, the county commander of Jin County was afraid of the power of the Yellow Turban and abandoned the city and fled.

Julu was too shou to know that he was frustrated with talent, so he was transferred to Jin County and made him a county order.

After becoming a county commander, he recruited volunteers, and relied on the powerful and large households in the city to repeatedly repel the Yellow Turban Army attacking the city.

Later, the Yellow Turban Army was powerful, and there were too few officers and soldiers in Jin County to defend, so they had no choice but to abandon the city and return to Linping.

After the Yellow Turban Army in the south of Jizhou stabilized, Julu Taishou once again increased his troops to Linping by 4,000. In this way, Fu Zhu only single-handedly held the way for the Yellow Turban Army to go south, so that Zhang Bao returned several times.

Huangfu Song led his troops north, killed Zhang Bao with a plan, and beheaded more than 7,000 people, so he offered a plan to Huangfu Song: "It is better to let the officers and soldiers put on the clothes and armor of the Yellow Turban Army and flee in front, and General Huangfu will lead the officers and soldiers to pursue from behind." ”

"After the city gate is opened, Jin County can be decided in a battle."

Huangfu Song thought so deeply and acted according to the plan.

The Yellow Turban guard of Jin County saw that a Yellow Turban rout was fleeing towards the city, and the officers and soldiers were pursuing it behind.

Seeing that the situation of the pursuing Yellow Turbans was critical, he ordered the city gates to be opened to welcome the Yellow Turbans into the city. But I don't want to, this wave of Yellow Turban Army rout is a pretence of officers and soldiers.

In this way, Huangfu Song easily captured Jin County and beheaded more than 10,000 people. Then he hung Zhang Bao's head on the flagpole and went to attack Quyang with the power of victory.

In just two months, first Zhang Jiao fell ill and died, and then Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao died in battle, and many of the Yellow Turban Army collapsed in faith and began to fear the officers and soldiers.

In the face of Huangfu Song's siege, Xia Quyang also began to split internally.

Some people think that when you abandon the city and leave, you should save your strength first and then make plans; Some of Zhang Bao's die-hard loyalists want to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers to avenge the general of the local government; There are also some people who want to defend Xiaquyang and live and die with the city.

Later, several Qu Shuai led the tent soldiers and secretly left Xiaquyang at night.

The Qu Shuai, who had persuaded Zhang Bao not to fight in person, persuaded those who wanted to fight to the death with Huangfu Song, and let them defend Quyang together.

The Yellow Turban Army in Xiaquyang was divided, and there were only more than 20,000 soldiers left to defend the city. Fortunately, that Qu Shuai was quite talented, and he repelled Huangfu Song's siege several times before he could keep Xiaquyang.

The Yellow Turban soldiers brought by this Xiaoshuai were the people sent by the commander of the city guard in Xiaquyang to ask Chen Xu for help.

Xia Quyang sent a total of dozens of cavalry who came to ask for help, but only this one person came to Guangzong desperately. After arriving in Guangzong, his horses were almost exhausted.

After Chen Xu learned about the battle in Xiaquyang, he said loudly: "A certain old thief of the Emperor Fu is treacherous! ”

When he said this, Chen Xu's heart was full of remorse.

Based on the experience of later generations, he always thought that Huangfu Song would go north to attack Quyang after completely eliminating the Yellow Turban Army of Guangzong.

But I don't want to, his arrival has changed history.

History has changed, but Chen Xu's thinking has not changed. He relied too much on his knowledge of history, but he didn't want to make a big mistake.

If it is according to common sense, marching and fighting pay attention to the speed of soldiers, Huangfu Song will definitely not stay in Quzhou all the time, and he is still stagnant for most of the month.

If Chen Xu analyzes it a little, even if he can't guess that Huangfu Song will rush to Xiaquyang, he can still smell a trace of taste. But his preconceived notions made him lose his basic judgment ability.

Chen Xu's face was gloomy, and he said to the little handsome: "Pass on my military order, the army will immediately evacuate Guangzong and go north to rescue Xia Quyang." ”

When the little marshal heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said: "Qu Shuai, now that General Digong has been killed in battle, the Yellow Turban Army in Xia Quyang has split again, and Guangzong only has 3,000 cavalry, how can he save Quyang?" ”

When Chen Xu heard this, he was also silent. After the split, is the Yellow Turban Army still considered the Yellow Turban Army?

Moreover, even if the Yellow Turban Army in Xia Quyang is finally rescued, will they respect themselves?

The soldier who came to ask for help, seeing Chen Xu hesitating, hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "When I came, my family commander said that now the great sage and good teacher, the general of the people, and the general of the earth have died one after another. ”

"Then, from now on, as the son-in-law of the great sage and good teacher, you will be the well-deserved leader of our Yellow Turban Army."

"My family commander sent me to ask for help, not because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but because he couldn't give up the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers in the city. Otherwise, my family can abandon the city and leave, why bother to defend Quyang? ”

"Please also ask General Mingjian to send troops to rescue Xia Quyang!"

After finishing speaking, the soldier who came to report the news knocked on the ground with his forehead and knocked out blood directly.

Seeing this, Chen Xu hurriedly helped him up and said, "I didn't say that I wouldn't go to the rescue, why should you do this?" ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Xu said to the little handsome: "As long as there is still the banner of the Yellow Turban Army on the city wall of Xiaquyang, they are our brothers." Knowing that his brother is in trouble but not going to the rescue, how is it different from a beast? ”

Chen Xu's words were sonorous, and the little handsome man was flushed, and then withdrew to give the order.

Chen Hu had already taken 7,000 Yellow Turban foot soldiers and 2,000 untrained horses to Taishan County.

Chen Xu himself took 3,000 cavalry to the north and went to rescue Xia Quyang.

According to the route, Chen Xu and the others should first go north into Anping Kingdom and arrive at Jingxian. Then go west to Boluoting, cross the Zhanghe River, and enter Julu County again.

In this way, all the way north, you can reach Xiaquyang.

The speed of the cavalry is not fast, Chen Xu let the corporal not leave the horse, the horse does not leave the saddle, and the march for two days in a row, and finally arrived in Jingxian.

"The Dune Palace platform seems to be right here." Chen Xu wiped the beads of sweat from his face and thought secretly on horseback.

It was not an easy task to march immediately. Especially for these Yellow Turban Army, who are not skilled in riding, the long bumps are even more uncomfortable.

After Chen Xu arrived in Jing County, he found that the county soldiers who were stationed here had been completely evacuated. He looked at his subordinates, covering their buttocks in pain, and couldn't help but feel compassion, so he ordered them to dismount and rest.

Chen Xu himself led more than ten horsemen to visit the sand dune platform.

The terrain here is flat, the soil is generally sandy, and it is piled up into mounds everywhere, so it is called sand dunes in ancient times. It was very inconvenient to ride a horse here, so Chen Xu handed over the horse to his subordinates, and then took the two of them to watch the dune platform.

Walking on the soft sand dunes, Chen Xu suddenly felt empty under his feet, and he fell into a trap.

Before Chen Xu could react, he suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing all around. Many officers and soldiers hiding in the sand crawled out of the ground, and after killing Chen Xu's two entourage, they all took spears and stabbed Chen Xu who fell into the trap.

Chen Xu fell into the trap, twisted his ankle, watched the spears stabbing at him, and shouted: "My life is over!" ”
