In Quzhou City, the Yellow Turban Army pursued the enemy for more than 20 miles, beheaded more than 1,000 people, captured 300 prisoners, and the officers and soldiers were seriously injured and fell into a coma, and the Yellow Turban Army won a complete victory.

In the county office, Zhang Liang stood at the top, looking at Chen Xu, Wang Yan and others, and his heart was churning.

The Yellow Turbans of Dongjun were defeated repeatedly, and Bu Ji was killed in battle, and then the Yellow Turban Army was divided, some of them went north to join Zhangjiao, and some of them fell into the grass.

At the beginning, when he heard the news, Zhang Liang also scolded Wang Yan. Unexpectedly, the crisis in Quzhou City was solved by these people.

Wang Yan prostrate on the ground and said, "The general is above, please forgive the young general's sin." ”

Zhang Liang is 1.75 meters tall, with a dark face and a rough personality. He was originally born poor and had the simplicity of a peasant. But after following his brother to preach and raise a rebellion, he also began to have some scheming.

The three brothers Zhang Jiao can be loved by countless Yellow Turban Army, which naturally has its own merits.

Seeing Wang Yan like this, Zhang Liang stepped forward, hurriedly grabbed Wang Yan's arm, and pulled him up. Holding Wang Yan's arm, he said, "Jun Ge today, help me and others solve the siege of Quzhou, what is the crime?" ”

Zhang Liang's face was simple, and his words were also very sincere, Wang Yan suddenly heard it, like a spring breeze, and thanked him again.

Later, Wang Yan introduced the three brothers Chen Xu to Zhang Liang. But Zhang Liang only attaches great importance to Chen Hu, a fierce general who has been undefeated with Huaxiong for a long time. For Chen Xu and Chen Jing, although they are very enthusiastic on the surface, the two of them can still feel the indifference on Zhang Liang's body.

Although Chen Xu has some reputation, it is in Dongjun after all. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and it was very good to be able to become famous in a county. Even if he has a slight name, it will not reach the ears of Zhang Liang in Jizhou.

Zhang Liang had indeed heard of Chen Xu's reputation, which he had heard from the Yellow Turban Army that had split from Dongjun. Chen Xu repeatedly defeated the Yellow Turban Army, and even Bu Ji was killed at the hands of officers and soldiers. These people are somewhat hostile to Chen Xu, and when they talk about Chen Xu, they naturally won't pick up good words.

Zhang Liang seems that Chen Xu can defeat the Yellow Turban several times, which can only be said that he has some talents, plus luck. In his heart, a character like Chen Xu is not as brave and simple as Chen Hu.

Moreover, after all, Chen Xu was an enemy of the Yellow Turban Army, and he was forced to leave the court and defect to the Yellow Turban. Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Liang does not think very highly of Chen Xu.

He is a rough man with a humble background, even if there are some cities now, his mind still can't escape the eyes of Chen Xu, Wang Yan, and Chen Jing. Only Chen Hu, a reckless man, was overjoyed to see Zhang Liang so enthusiastic about him.

Wang Yan recommended Chen Xu in front of Zhang Liang several times, but Zhang Liang fooled him, and finally just arranged for Chen Xu to continue to stay under Wang Yan's account and use his life.

After a few people left the county government and returned to the camp, Wang Yan was full of guilt, and said to Chen Xu: "I didn't expect that a hero like Wen Zhao would not know the general. ”

Chen Jing was also gloomy at this time, even if his brother was in Dongjun, he was also respected by the officials, but he didn't expect to come here but he was treated like this.

Chen Hu also reacted at this time, and immediately scolded: "Big brother is such a hero, but that guy is not reused, I might as well go to Mount Tai together to find Ah Qing and them." It's better to fall into the grass in the mountains than to suffer this kind of bird smell here. ”

Although Zhang Liang cherishes him very much, in Chen Hu's eyes, he looks down on his brother and looks down on himself. He has always respected Chen Xu, how can he endure this evil breath?

Wang Yan was also very disappointed in Zhang Liang at this time, he was afraid that Chen Xu would be angry, so he brushed his sleeves away, and hurriedly said: "If Wen Zhao doesn't give up, he is willing to give up the position of Qu Shuai!" ”

Chen Xu did not have the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, and first reprimanded Chen Hu: "We are from humble backgrounds and have no famous name. It is a blessing to be taken in by General Rengong today, and Ah Hu must not talk nonsense in the future. ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Wang Yan again: "It is a great luck that someone can escape from Puyang City and get his life. The talent of the Jun Pavilion is ten times better than me, if the Jun Pavilion brother is not the commander of the Qu Dynasty, who can take on this important responsibility? ”

"The matter of transferring Qu Shuai, if Jun Ge mentions it again, he will turn around and leave!"

Speaking of this, Chen Xu's face was serious. Wang Yan saw that Chen Xu was not joking, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing. At this time, he felt more and more confused about the Yellow Turban Army and his future.

Today, he really saw the most elite officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty. Even in the rout, the Yellow Turban Army, which was several times larger than the officers and soldiers, still paid a great price to achieve such results. It can be said that the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army this time were definitely no less than those of the officers and men.

In the siege battle, there were 15,000 Yellow Turbans on the defensive, and only 5,000 officers and soldiers dared to attack the city

You must know that in general, when attacking a city, when the combat strength of both sides is equal, the attacker must have at least twice as many troops as the defender to have some chance of winning.

Although the Han Dynasty is decaying and declining, the elite troops of the Han Empire are still a terrible team.

From the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's pursuit of the Xiongnu in the north, and then to Chen Tang's attack on the Xiongnu, Dingxi Regions, and breaking Karasuma, and then shouting: 'It is advisable to hang the head of the barbarian mansion in the street, in order to show that thousands of miles, those who commit crimes against the strong Han will be punished even if they are far away', the military might of the entire Han Empire shocked the world.

Speaking of Chen Tang's heart-wrenching declaration, we still feel our blood boiling.

The majesty of the Han army was not shouted out, but piled up with alien heads after battles again and again.

At this time, even though the empire has been corrupted, some of the Han army's army still retains their pride and bravery.

The elite of the Han Dynasty in Jizhou has nearly 30,000. If Huangfu Song waits for his troops to go north, the elite of officers and soldiers will reach a terrifying 70,000.

Looking at the Yellow Turban Army again, all the soldiers and horses in Jizhou are combined, and the number of soldiers who can fight is only about 150,000. Although the Yellow Turban Army was twice as large as the officers and soldiers, it was scattered on the north and south lines of Jizhou.

As a result, after Huangfu Song came, the strength of the Yellow Turban Army did not have an advantage. On the contrary, because the officers and men are strong in combat, they will be absolutely at a weak position.

When the Yellow Turban Uprising came, although it was claimed to be a million Yellow Turbans, there were not many soldiers who were really in their prime. They were scattered all over the country, and they were even more broken by each other.

Now the plan is to either take advantage of Huangfu Song's northward march to annihilate all the officers and soldiers of Jizhou; Either the two Yellow Turban armies in Jizhou converge and fight to the death with superior forces. In this way, the Yellow Turban Army may have a slight chance of victory.

However, the officers and soldiers were so brave that when Lu Zhi was there, with only 30,000 officers and soldiers, he was able to defeat Zhang Jiao repeatedly, forcing the Yellow Turban Army to retreat to Guangzong.

Even if the commander is replaced by Dong Zhuo now, it is almost impossible to completely annihilate the officers and soldiers.

Besides, the convergence of the yellow turbans on the north and south roads is also an unrealistic thing. Not to mention that in every city captured by the Yellow Turban Army, there are many families of Yellow Turban soldiers in it.

If you give up a city, not to mention that it is difficult to defend a lonely city, it is also a very difficult thing to transfer the families of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army.

Moreover, if the Yellow Turban Army wants to join forces, it must pass through Xiatao, the capital of Jizhou. Xiatao is located in the middle of Jizhou, the main road of the east and west, north and south, the city is tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Yellow Turban Army attacked several times, but all of them lost their troops and returned in vain.

The city of Xiatao is like a sharp blade, cutting off the main road of north-south communication of the Yellow Turban Army.

The more he thought about it, the more serious Wang Yan's face became. He sighed gloomily, he really didn't know whether it was right or wrong to come to Jizhou this time.

As if knowing Wang Yan's thoughts, Chen Xu suddenly spoke: "Although the yellow turban is numerous, its momentum has declined. Moreover, they are scattered all over the place, and they are easily broken by officers and soldiers. ”

"The yellow scarves in the south have been pacified, and the day when Huangfu Song will go north is not far away. If the officers and soldiers join forces, the Yellow Turban will be defeated! ”

Hearing this, Wang Yan's eyes lit up, and he said to Chen Xu: "I already know what Wen Zhao said. I don't know if Wen Zhao has a good plan to get my yellow scarf out of trouble? ”

Looking at Wang Yan, who was full of anticipation, Chen Xu shook his head and said, "A hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff." Although the Han dynasty is declining, it cannot be shaken by the yellow scarf. Even if the yellow turban can be freed from the temporary predicament, it is still difficult to escape the fate of its defeat. ”

The bright eyes dimmed, Wang Yan clenched his fists, and his face was full of unwillingness.

Overthrowing the Han family and realizing the last wish of the ancestors is the long-cherished wish of all the descendants of the Wang family. Now that the world is finally in chaos, Wang Yan thought that he had waited for the opportunity, but he didn't want to, this was just an uprising that was doomed to failure.

Seeing that Wang Yan's face was a little distorted, Chen Xu couldn't bear it, so he could only continue: "Although it is difficult for the yellow scarf to succeed, it is by no means impossible. ”

"Please also ask Wen Zhao to teach me!" Wang Yan's eyes burst into dazzling brilliance, grabbed Chen Xu's arm, and said excitedly.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xu finally told some thoughts when he was right with Cheng Yudong.

This method is nothing more than borrowing from the Red Army of later generations, hiding troops among the people, and developing believers in order to wait for the great changes in the world.

Although the Yellow Turban Army is now a large number of people, the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty are larger, and if they are hidden, even if some of them may be searched, they can still retain some of their strength.
