For a period of time that followed, the Yellow Turban Army Dazhai was preparing for the dispatch of troops to Youzhou.

When the news spread, many people who had been ruined by the Hu people petitioned Chen Xu one after another, hoping to go north together to fight against the Tartars.

As more and more people came to petition, Chen Xu had to gather everyone.

"Shanzhai, it's time to expand the army!" Chen Xu thought secretly in his heart.

The petitioners were summoned to the huge school grounds in the open air. Most of these people are young and strong, and there are more than 10,000 people.

"General, our homes have been plundered by those hateful Hu people, please allow us to go and kill the Tartars together!"

A young man standing in front shouted loudly.

"Yes, my lord, we have nothing, fortunately we were taken in by the cottage, even if we die on the battlefield, we will never regret it!"

Another gritted his teeth and said: "My wife and daughter were robbed, and my parents were slaughtered, if I don't eat the flesh and blood of the Hu people, how can I wash the hatred in my heart?" ”

The people in the school yard told about the evil deeds of the Hu people, and they hated to turn into wild beasts and eat the flesh and blood of those Hu people.

At this time, listening to everyone's accusations full of blood and tears, not only Chen Xu, but even the Yellow Turban sergeant who maintained order in the school yard also felt great anger surging in his heart.

Chen Xu took a deep breath, sank into the dantian, and shouted: "Everyone be quiet!" Everyone, be quiet! ”

Chen Xu's voice was very loud and spread throughout the school. The people, who were still indignant just now, fell silent when they heard the shouts of their lords.

Looking around at the people on the school grounds, Chen Xu said: "How can I not know your bitter hatred for the Hu people? ”

"Now, you are the people in my cottage, that is, my brothers and sisters Chen Xu. In this case, your hatred is also my Chen Xu's hatred. ”

"The famous general Chen Tang once said, 'Those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away'. Although we, the Yellow Turbans, are determined to overthrow this decadent dynasty. However, we are still the descendants of China. ”

"Boom!" Chen Xu suddenly pulled out the long sword in his hand, waved it in the void a few times, and said sharply, "Although my Yellow Turban Army is weak, it is also full of ambition to help the community and save the people of the world from fire and water. ”

"Today, I, Chen Xu, made a statement. As long as I live for a day, I will definitely do what I can for this nation. ”

"No matter how strong the enemy is, I will use the sword in my hand to tell them, 'Those who offend me in Huaxia will be punished even if they are far away'!"

Chen Xu's voice was like thunder, resounding in the sky.

The people in the school field, as well as the Yellow Turban soldiers next to them, and even the generals of the Yellow Turban Army who had opposed the dispatch of troops to Youzhou, also felt their blood boiling.

"Those who offend me in Huaxia will be punished even if they are far away!"

"Those who offend me in Huaxia will be punished even if they are far away!"

People waved their arms and shouted in obsessed emotion.

It took a long time for everyone's mood to gradually stabilize.

Some people shouted at Chen Xu: "Lord, let me go to the battlefield, I'm not afraid of death!" ”

"And me, I'm not afraid of death!"

……

One people after another, they all shouted with a loud voice. Seeing this scene, Chen Xu couldn't help but have some tears in his eyes.

With such a popular heart, why worry about big things?

If the Han family can conform to the will of the people and send troops to fight against the Hu people, why can't they regain the prestige of the strong man?

But they have abandoned the people of Youhe and the two states for too long. There is a mixture of Han and Hu here, and there are constant riots, and the lives of the people have not been stable.

Chen Xu raised his eyes and saw that these young men had a fierce aura on their faces, and everyone was full of hatred and was not afraid of death.

"Wouldn't it be a pity if such a high-quality soldier could not be used by me?"

He remembered what Cheng Yu said to him before: "Since the lord has decided to send troops to Youzhou, then he can take this opportunity to expand the army and win the hearts of the people who have just come to defect." ”

"In this way, even if we are defeated in the battle with the Hu people, our Yellow Turban Army can quickly recover its vitality."

To this day, the Yellow Turban Army still has 20,000 foot soldiers, plus 4,000 cavalry. With the increasing number of people under his rule, there are more and more new cottages.

The Yellow Turban Army only has this little strength, which seems to be a little too small.

Chen Xu has also been thinking about whether to expand the army, but he has always been afraid that after the expansion of the army, the food in the cottage will not be available. 、

To tell the truth, if he was not forced to do so, he would not be willing to go down the mountain to attack the city and seize the grain and grass.

Although the Yellow Turban Army did not offend the good people and ordinary people, he broke the city and swept away the money and grain in the county government treasury.

After that, the officials will scavenge back from the people. In the end, it is the local people who suffer in the end.

However, the richness of the entire Taihang Mountain Range was beyond Chen Xu's expectations. As long as it is applied properly and the people of the cottage are urged to work hard, even if the Yellow Turban Army expands by 50,000, it can be fed.

The people of this era, most of them are very hardworking, kind, hard-working and good people.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu quieted everyone down again and said, "Everyone, please listen to me!" You all know the ferocity of the Hu people in the north, and I sent troops to Youzhou this time, and the outcome is also unpredictable. ”

"You are not afraid of death, but you have not been trained to be militarized. If I had led you on a campaign, would I have given you your lives in vain? ”

As soon as Chen Xu said this, someone shouted below: "We are not afraid of death!" ”

"Yes, we are not afraid of death!"

The rest of the people also responded.

Chen Xu's face sank, and he shouted: "I know that you are not afraid of things, but you can't make senseless sacrifices. If you really want to deal with the cottage and want to fight the Hu people in the future, then you can join the army,"

"When you are qualified soldiers, it will not be too late to go with me. Believe me, our war with the alien races of the north is just the beginning! ”

Hearing Chen Xu's words, the people in the school were stunned for a moment, and then shouted in unison: "We are willing to join the army!" ”

Until now, Chen Xu, Cheng Yu, and Tian Feng all had smiles on their faces.

This time, even if Zhao Huang did not bring three thousand elite cavalry. The Yellow Turban Army would also send troops to Youzhou alone to fight the Hu people.

This is not only for the sake of Huaxia's integrity, but also for the sake of the reputation of the Yellow Turban Army.

Just imagine, when the people of the Han Dynasty were facing the plundering of the Hu people and the slaughter of foreign races. As an orthodox Han family, there is no indication at all.

On the contrary, the Yellow Turban Army, which is an anti-thief, fights for these people and fights for this nation.

At that time, how would the people in the north view the Han family and the Yellow Turban Army?

If it can win the hearts and minds of the people, even if all the 4,000 cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army die on the battlefield, the Yellow Turban Army will not only not become weak, but will become stronger and stronger.

Just like the princes in history who fought against Dong, Cao Cao knew that the pursuit of Dong Zhuo would be defeated, but he did not pay attention to the fear of the rest of the princes, but insisted on pursuing.

In that pursuit, Cao Cao was ambushed by the Western Liang army, and his soldiers and horses were lost. But since then, Cao Cao has gained an unparalleled reputation, which has made heroes from all over the world come to vote.

There is also Liu Bei, who can be said to be self-made and wandering all his life. After working hard for most of his life, he gained nothing except the reputation of benevolence and righteousness.

But it is precisely because of his reputation that Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain later, as well as three points of the world.

Although fame is invisible, sometimes it is even more important than money.

The strength of the Yellow Turban Army began to expand again, and since the system used by the cottages was like that of tuntian, the soldiers had to help the people grow crops in addition to training.

So even if another 50,000 horses were levied, the Yellow Turban Army would barely be able to feed it. But Chen Xu thought about it again and again, and after discussing it with everyone under his tent, he decided to recruit only 30,000 soldiers.

If 50,000 soldiers are recruited, the Yellow Turban Army Dazhai can barely afford to supply. But the quality of life of the people in the village will undoubtedly decline a lot, which is by no means what Chen Xu is willing to see.

If 30,000 horses are recruited, plus the original 20,000, the Yellow Turban Army will have 50,000 men and horses. For the Yellow Turban Army, which only has about 400,000 people under its rule, this ratio is already a bit appalling.

If the cottage encounters a war and the soldiers are unable to farm and breed, the cottage may not even be able to feed so many people.

However, the number of people under the rule of the Yellow Turban Army is still increasing, and in time, when the number of people increases, it will not be difficult to raise the 50,000 horses of the Yellow Turban Army.

Just like last time, Chen Xu recruited soldiers, and still gave priority to those soldiers who were not very old.

Chen Xu believes that in time, these still immature Yellow Turban Army will definitely become the trump card in his hands.

Time passed day by day, and Zhao Huang finally came to the camp of the Yellow Turban Army with a few big men.

The person at the head is 1.82 meters tall, burly and fierce, and at a glance he knows that he is a brave and extraordinary person.

This person's name is very strange, his surname is Tang Chen, and his name is Hideyoshi.

His father, Tang Sheng, was originally a deputy general who went north to fight against Xianbei, and he was brave. When the officers and soldiers were surrounded by the Xianbei people, Tang Sheng gave up the opportunity to break through, and led the officers and soldiers under his tent to fight to the death, killing more than 40 people and dying in battle.

It can be said that if there is no desperate obstruction of Tang Sheng, less than half of the 5,000 officers and soldiers will be able to escape.

Tang Chen, who was only eighteen years old at the time, went to Xianbei with his father and was grief-stricken when he saw his father die in battle.

He led his three hundred cronies to rush into the Xianbei array, recapture Tang Sheng's body, and kill him again. In that battle, Tang Chen was hit by five arrows, and only a dozen of the 300 soldiers who followed him to charge escaped with their lives, and Tang Chen became famous.

After that, the rest of the officers and soldiers remembered his father's broken friendship, and his own bravery, so after a few battles, he was promoted to a chief.

Later, the rest of the leaders were killed in battle, but he relied on his own bravery and repeatedly led his soldiers to escape with their lives.

It can be said that among the current cavalry of 3,000 people, only he and Zhao Huang have the highest status.
