August and autumn tigers, sometimes cold and sometimes hot.

The energetic Chen Xu, after exhausting all the strength of his body, took a cold bath and returned to the big tent.

A herald appeared, galloped over, and said loudly to Chen Xu: "General Rengong has an order, urgently recruit Qu Shuai to go to the county government to discuss matters!" ”

After speaking, the herald didn't wait for Chen Xu to answer, and ran to other places.

Seeing this, Chen Xu was shocked. At this time, everyone was called to discuss the matter, and they did not know what was going on. Unable to rest, Chen Xu took Wang Yan and hurried to the county office.

When the people on the road saw Chen Xu, their faces were full of respect, and they made way for him. The look of respect on their faces was completely heartfelt, without the slightest hypocrisy or fear.

When the officers and soldiers occupied Qiu County, they often disturbed the people. Some of the ruffians came to the homes of the people, took away their livestock, slaughtered them for meat.

Ordinary people's families are very good to be able to support themselves, even if they raise livestock, they are very precious, and I hope that they can exchange them for some money in the future to survive.

The robbery of the soldiers and ruffians has cut off the livelihood of many people's homes. What's more, some officers saw the daughters of good people and rushed to the barracks to play with them. The people still dare to be angry.

Especially after Lu Zhi left, Dong Zhuo took over as the coach, and he took the lead in doing so. Since ancient times, if there is something good at the top, it will be attached to the bottom. The main general is still not self-disciplined, let alone other low-level officers?

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers still knew their identities and did not dare to indulge their soldiers to act like this. Only a part of the officers would be so unscrupulous.

If the people do not comply, they will be falsely accused of being spies of the Yellow Turban Army, and then their heads will be cut off and they will be killed.

Jizhou is the origin of the Yellow Turban, greatly influenced by the Taiping Sect, and many people are believers in the Taiping Dao. After the Zhang Jiao uprising, many people were afraid in their hearts and did not dare to rise up.

After all, they had joined the Taiping Sect, and if those officers insisted that they were spies of the Yellow Turban Army, it would be reasonable.

is also the commander of the first army, where Lu Zhi passed, Qiu did not commit any crimes, but Dong Zhuo was eager to scrape the ground. His greed and brutality have now been revealed.

It can be said that the officers and soldiers led by Dong Zhuo are even more powerful beasts to the people. They don't want the Yellow Turban Army to come and drive away these hateful officers and soldiers.

After the Yellow Turban Army broke through the city, the people cheered and came to the army with the only food they had at home.

The Yellow Turbans delayed but had to take it, and then they broke through the mighty Wu Fort and swept away their belongings. A portion was left for military pay, and the rest was given to the poor.

Although this move of the Yellow Turban Army offended Haoqiang, it won the hearts of the people. Everywhere they conquered, many poor people joined the army.

In the entire Jizhou alone, the Yellow Turban Army gathered hundreds of thousands of people. However, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are not many who are really in the prime of life.

After breaking through Qiu County, the Yellow Turban Army once again increased by more than 1,000 strong soldiers.

They are all new recruits, who have been oppressed by officers and soldiers, and have a fiery heart for revenge. With a little training, it will become a good army.

More than 1,000 people may not seem like much, but for a small county, this ratio is already very terrifying. The population of this era is far less than that of later generations, and it is truly vast and sparsely populated. Even if a county town is combined, there will not be many people.

Chenjia Village has been inherited for hundreds of years and is a huge village known far and wide, and there are only seven or eight hundred people in the whole village.

Chen Xu and Wang Yan came to the county government and saw Zhang Liang standing next to the map, frowning.

Chen Xu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "General Rengong hurriedly summoned us and others, what is the matter?" ”

Seeing Chen Xu and the others, Zhang Liang's frowning brows eased slightly. He motioned for the two of them to come over, and then said, "I just got an order from General Tiangong to let me wait to hold Qiu County and Quzhou, and trap the officers and soldiers in Wei County. ”

"However, according to the scout's report, there are county soldiers assembled in the direction of Xiatao, intending to attack Quzhou. Dong Zhuojun of Wei County, although dragged by General Tiangong, still divided a part of his forces, intending to seize the bridge over the Zhanghe River. ”

"Quzhou only has 6,000 men and horses, if the officers and soldiers are divided into two routes, they will attack in front and back to break Quzhou. All the previous plans of our army will be in vain! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang's face was extremely serious. The rest of the Qu Shuai is the same.

"I want to lead a large army to rescue Qu Zhou, leaving only 3,000 soldiers and horses in Qiu County, I don't know if Wen Zhao thinks so?"

Without answering immediately, Chen Xu just looked at the map carefully, and then asked Wang Yan, "Brother Junge, I don't know if you have any ideas?" ”

As soon as Chen Xu's voice fell, everyone's eyes looked at Wang Yan in unison.

Wang Yan also stared at the map, he didn't answer directly, but asked Zhang Liang: "General Rengong, I don't know if the scouts sent to Yanzhou have news of Huangfu Song?" ”

Zhang Liang replied: "According to the scout's report, Huangfu Song has just arrived in Yanzhou, and it will take at least more than a month to reach Jizhou. ”

After thinking for a while, Wang Yan saluted Zhang Liang and said, "The young general has some suggestions, if they are different from what the general thinks, please don't blame the general." ”

Zhang Liang waved his hand and said unhappily: "Jun Ge doesn't hurt to say it, I, Zhang Liang, am not a person who can't listen to people's words." ”

Wang Yan pointed to the map and talked eloquently: "If the general sends a letter to the general of Digong and asks him to make a gesture of sending troops south, the national soldiers of Xiatao County will definitely not dare to attack Quzhou when they see this." In this way, although Quzhou only has 6,000 men and horses, it has the natural danger of the Zhanghe River, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

"Now that the grain supply for the officers and soldiers of Wei County has been cut off, the officers and soldiers must be panicked. The imminent arrival of Huangfu Song in Jizhou undoubtedly brought a glimmer of hope to the officers and men. If they wanted to break through, they would definitely attack Qiu County to the south and join up with Huangfu Song, rather than attacking Quzhou, which had the danger of the Zhanghe River. ”

"In this way, the danger of Qu Zhou is not to be worried."

"If the officers and soldiers break through, they must take Qiu County, but with the current men and horses of Qiu County, it is difficult to prevent the officers and soldiers from breaking through. For the sake of today's plan, not only will we not be able to transfer troops to Quzhou, but we will have to transfer reinforcements from Quzhou. ”

When the words fell, the whole house was shocked. Everyone pondered Wang Yan's words, and then nodded one after another.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

After Zhang Liang chewed Wang Yan's words, his face was full of joy, and he did not hide his admiration for him at all.

"If it weren't for Junge's outspokenness, something would have made a big mistake!"

If it was really as Wang Yan expected, they only needed to defend Qiu County for ten days, and the grain and grass of the officers and soldiers would be completely consumed. Even their horses will probably be killed.

At that time, if the Yellow Turban Army attacks the officers and soldiers again, it will definitely be a victory.

Everyone was immersed in the great victory of the officers and soldiers in the future, except for Wang Yan, no one noticed Chen Xu's face.

Wang Yan knew Chen Xu's talent very well, and seeing that he didn't agree with it, he wasn't angry, so he asked him: "Wen Zhao frowned, but is there something wrong with the strategy I said?" ”

When everyone heard this, they thought of Chen Xu and looked at Chen Xu.

At this time, Chen Xu, he suddenly thought of the incident of 'Sima Yike Ri Ji Mengda' in history. Since ancient times, people who are good at fighting "attack their unpreparedness, surprise their surprise", if Huangfu Song doubles the road, half a month can go to Qiu County.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu said solemnly: "According to the normal march, Huangfu Song will be able to reach Qiu County in more than a month. However, Huangfu Song is a famous general in the world, don't you know that 'soldiers are noble and fast'? ”

"If the officers and soldiers go by the way, half a month will be coming!"

When everyone heard this, their hearts froze, and then they calculated, and their faces soothed.

A Qu Shuai said: "Wen Zhao is not worried, even if Huangfu Song is approaching in half a month, Dong Zhuo's army has already run out of food and has been defeated. At that time, we will join forces with the great sages and good teachers, why are we afraid of the old thief of the emperor? ”

Huangfu Song's defeat of the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou and the massacre of prisoners of war have long been spread all over the world. Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army hated Huangfu Song and hated to eat his flesh raw. When it comes to him, naturally there are no good things to say.

Shaking his head, Chen Xu continued: "Even if there are only five days of grain and grass left in Dong Zhuo's army, he can still drag it until Huangfu Song comes to the rescue. ”

Everyone in the county government showed disbelief, only Zhang Liang asked, "Why did Wen Zhao say this?" ”

Chen Xu sneered a few times and said: "Although Wei County is a small city, there are also many people, if the officers and soldiers really have no food, they will definitely plunder the people in the county. If the grain and grass are still insufficient, Dong Zhuo may not be unable to do the thing of killing people and eating. ”

After all, Wang Yan was young and did not know much, so he said in a trembling voice: "They are officers and soldiers, how can they do such things?" ”

When the others heard this, they felt a chill rush from the soles of their feet. They were all from poor people, and many of them had felt the horror of famine.

Among them, there are even people who have seen people cannibalism. If the officers and soldiers are really hungry, they may not kill the people and eat meat.

Chen Xu continued: "Dong Zhuo was born in Xiliang, where Han and Hu live together. Affected by this, Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang soldiers were all fierce, and there was nothing they couldn't do. ”

Zhang Liang's face was very ugly, if it was really as Chen Xu said, after Huangfu Song went north, the Yellow Turban Army had not eliminated the officers and soldiers of Wei County, then the Yellow Turban Army was in danger!
