Afterwards, Chen Xu slapped his forehead and secretly scolded himself for being stupid.

The reason why Chen Xu did this was that he was greedy for the money and food of his family, and he did not have the intention of buying the hearts of the people.

He kills those who are the rich and powerful in the evil country, without the slightest psychological burden. If you simply hate the rich, you will kill and rob when you see pride. Then, the team he brought up will inevitably be marked as a thief.

They are rebelling now, although they are also rebels, but if they have a better reputation, they can also be called rebels.

Although the difference between the rebels and the thieves is only in terms of title, their essence is not the same.

The rebels can be explained in this way: it was the people who gathered to rebel because they were forced to rebel; The thieves, on the other hand, are completely for their property, they rob homes and houses, and do all kinds of evil.

The rebels can get the sympathy and support of the people, while the thieves only get the hatred of everyone.

Chen Xu found a herald, his eyes flashed, and he said to him: "Go down the order, from now on, strictly investigate those who slander the powerful and the rich." Anyone who finds such a character will be killed! ”

In Puyang City, in the Li family's Haoqiang's house, everyone was terrified, for fear that Chen Xu's butcher's knife would fall on their heads next time.

They also defected to Zhang Yong, and also sent their private soldiers to assist the soldier Cao Pengshi in defending the north gate.

Five days have passed since Chen Xu occupied Puyang, and in the past few days, many of Puyang's heroes have been killed.

Even the angel Zhang Yong and the soldier Cao Pengshi were disemboweled, and then the heads were shown to the public. Their heads still hang on the city walls.

The heroes have not resisted, they have contacted others again and again, in a vain attempt to gather domestic slaves and escape from Puyang.

However, how can the heroes of the private soldiers be the opponents of the officers and soldiers who are like wolves and tigers?

In the end, these heroes who tried to resist ended up with a raid on their homes, and only some women and children were able to survive.

And the wealth gathered in their family was also looted under the torture of Chen Xu and others.

Chen Xu's cold-blooded massacres several times shocked many heroes who were about to move, and these people were afraid of what Chen Xu had done and did not dare to resist again.

They also saw that Chen Xu was not blindly killing. Except for those who are in the township, the rest of the people's homes have not been harassed so far.

Even those heroes who are full of evil, Chen Xu is not in a hurry.

He just killed some of the first evil, and then looted all the belongings of these powerful families.

And he didn't sweep away all his possessions. On the contrary, a part of it will be left as the future life of these powerful families.

In the Li family, the youngest son of the head of the family asked the head of the Li family: "Ah Weng, you said that butcher, will he also loot our family's belongings?" ”

The head of the Li family sighed, and said gloomily: "Now, as long as we can escape with our lives, we are already lucky, what do we want to keep our belongings?" ”

He is a person who understands, and knows that since Chen Xu and others have raised the banner to rebel, they have no foundation, and in order to survive, they will definitely loot everywhere and obtain grain and grass materials.

Now that Puyang City is occupied by them, there is no reason why they will let themselves go. What's more, the Li family once took refuge in Zhang Yong and participated in framing Chen Xu.

When the Li family was worried, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, and everyone's faces changed. The head of the Li family brought everyone in the family to the courtyard.

As soon as they arrived in the middle of the courtyard, they saw Chen Hu with a spear and more than a hundred people breaking in.

Seeing this, everyone in the Li family was horrified.

During this time, anyone who wanted to resist would be ruthlessly killed by Chen Hu. The current Puyang Haoqiang, the last thing he wants to see is this cold-blooded and reckless man.

Although he was scared in his heart, the head of the Li family did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then asked cautiously: "I don't know what happened when the general is here?" ”

Chen Hu glanced at this person, snorted coldly, and said, "I came here only for my brother's military order." ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Hu waved his hand, and a person walked out behind him, holding a bamboo slip and reading aloud: "Puyang Li family, take refuge in the eunuch Zhang Yong, frame Zhongliang, and should be destroyed." However, the Li family has a good reputation in the county, and he never bullies others, so for this reason, he can avoid death. ”

"The capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, the Li family should compensate the righteous army with 3,000 stone of food, and it will be collected within one day!"

At the beginning, when they heard 'when they were destroyed', everyone in the Li family was shocked, and some people collapsed directly on the ground.

Later, when they heard that they only needed to pay 3,000 stone of grain, everyone's faces showed a look of the rest of their lives.

If the money and food are gone, you can make it again, if you can break the wealth and avoid disasters, why not do it?

After all, in their eyes, Chen Xu is a thief. Thieves will not talk to them about morality, even if Chen Xu is like the Yellow Turban Army, he will kill and rob when he sees Haoqiang, they are not surprised.

What's more, the Li family also offended Chen Xu first?

Knowing that the lives of the family were saved, the hanging heart of the head of the Li family was also relaxed.

Wiping the beads of sweat on his face, the head of the Li family asked cautiously: "General, three thousand stones of grain and grass is not a small amount, it is only limited to one day, the time is a little tight, can you give it a few days?" ”

"Besides, the rebels are guarding my door every day, and I can't go out to raise food."

After speaking, the head of the Li family secretly glanced at Chen Hu, for fear that he would be angry with his request.

When Chen Hu heard this, he was not annoyed, but said: "Brother has an order, if there is not enough food, you can convert the insufficient part into money and replace it with equivalent chariots and horses, pig iron, weapons, armor, etc. ”

"After paying the money, your family can move freely around the city."

After finishing speaking, Chen Hu didn't say much, and led everyone to turn around and walk to the next house.

When the head of the Li family heard this, he was overjoyed.

Although three thousand stones of grain and grass is not a small amount, their Li clan does not have so much grain in stock. However, if it is converted into property, it will not exceed 1 million dollars at most.

A million is a lot of money, but for the Li family, it didn't hurt the bones. If food could be replaced by something else, they would immediately be released from Chen Xu's house arrest.

In this way, how can he not like it in his heart?

The above situation is playing out in many places in Puyang City.

These heroes are really amazing, Chen Xu's one-day deadline, just half a day has passed, and those heroes have already sent all the materials he wanted.

Not only that, but when these heroes replace the insufficient grain with other materials, their value far exceeds that of those grains.

It turned out that these heroes were afraid that the price of the remaining grain would be too cheap, which would make Chen Xu dissatisfied. As a result, they have replenished less than twice as much food.

But he didn't want to, after Chen Xu received the materials, he actually returned the excess part to these heroes, which made everyone feel incredible.

In the county guard's mansion, everyone gathered, including the rebel generals who had been imprisoned.

Regarding Chen Xu's decision to withdraw from Puyang, many people expressed their incomprehension.

In the past few days, as the actual controllers of Puyang City, they looked at the powerful officials who were high in the past, and they all looked at them with fear and admiration.

Everyone was a little fluttering, and many people even thought that they could use Puyang as a base to capture the entire East County.

Everyone has ambition in their hearts, and when this beast is unleashed, it swells rapidly.

Chen Xu looked at the people who were talking, his face sank, and asked, "How is our strength compared to Yuzhou Bocai?" ”

When the people heard the words, they said no more.

Under Chen Xu's account in Puyang City, all the soldiers together did not exceed three thousand. How can it be compared with the Yingchuan Yellow Turban, who once defeated Zhu Jun and besieged Huangfu Song?

Seeing that everyone was no longer speech, Chen Xu's face softened slightly, and he said: "The strength of officers and soldiers is not something we can resist now. ”

"Huangfu Song exterminated the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou and began to wave his troops north. If Huangfu Song arrives, we will still be trapped in Puyang, which is tantamount to self-destruction! ”

When everyone heard this, there was a commotion.

Only then did they remember that Huangfu Song had tens of thousands of officers and soldiers under his command.

In addition, with Huang Fu Song, a commander who knows how to fight and is good at fighting, although they have confidence in Chen Xu, they don't think that Chen Xu can resist Huang Fu Song's troops with more than 2,000 people under his command.

Then one of them asked, "In that case, where should we go?" ”

Rebellion is not a trivial matter, and if you are not careful, you may fall to pieces. Although these officers and soldiers followed Chen Xu out of Puyang for a while, they felt confused about the future.

Chen Xu walked to the front of the map, pointed to the location of the giant deer, and said, "Defect to the Yellow Turban!" ”

Although he knew that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was doomed to failure, he did not think that he could turn things around by himself.

However, now that he has raised the banner to rebel, there is no way back except to defect to the Yellow Turban. defect to the Yellow Turban, and you may die later; If they don't cast the yellow scarf, they will definitely not be able to escape the encirclement and suppression of Huangfu Song.

The current Chen Xu is still too weak; Today's Dahan is still an unshakable behemoth.

Although the yellow turban is doomed to failure, the millions of Qingzhou yellow turbans and millions of black mountain yellow turbans in the future are still a force to be reckoned with.

Chen Xu threw the Yellow Turban, not to save their doomed fate, but to brand himself as the Yellow Turban Army.

In this way, if he can achieve something in the future, these Yellow Turban troops scattered throughout the country will definitely come to defect.

Like everyone else, since ambition has already grown, there is no need for Chen Xu to suppress it anymore.
