Tian Feng still said excitedly: "My lord, whether it is the palace military disaster, or Dong Zhuo leading troops into Beijing, or Dong Zhuo's abolition of the Han Emperor, it has a fatal blow to the prestige of the Han family. ”

"Since the Han family is in decline, the world will be in chaos. I, the Yellow Turbans, have been in the mountains for several years, and it is finally time for us to show our talents. ”

After a few years, Cheng Yu still does not look old. On the contrary, because he has been living a very full life in the past few years, he looks younger.

Cheng Yu stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.

"Is it finally coming?"

After listening to Tian Feng's words, Chen Xu was a little expectant and a little hesitant.

Sighing, Chen Xu said to the two: "For the current situation, I don't know what suggestions the two military advisors have?" ”

This time, it was Cheng Yu who opened his mouth: "Although the chaos in the world has been revealed, the foundation of the Han family has not been shaken. If our Yellow Turban Army starts up now, it will still be alone. ”

"Besides, it is almost the end of the year, and the weather is cold, so it is not suitable to send troops. Therefore, according to my plan, we only need to straighten out our troops and horses and pay close attention to the movements of the DPRK and China. ”

Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Chen Xu nodded.

As far as he knew, in the next few years, the princes first begged for Dong. After the failure of the fight against Dong, the situation of separating the heroes began.

It was not until that time that the prestige of the Han family was really trampled on.

He continued to focus on Tian Feng and asked him with his eyes.

Tian Feng also smiled slightly, and said, "My lord, what Zhongde said is very true. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. ”

"Now that the New Year is approaching, it's time to gather the generals to go back to the cottage to celebrate. On this occasion, the lord can also inform the generals of this news. ”

"They will be very happy when they hear the news."

Looking at the inexplicable smile on Tian Feng's face, Chen Xu's heart moved, and he also laughed.

The Yellow Turban Army has been dormant for three years, although it seems to be thriving now, and its power is getting bigger and bigger. But Chen Xu knows that there are many people who want to make contributions.

If the Yellow Turban Army had been cowering in the mountains, many generals would have been a little disappointed in their hearts. In the long run, there is no guarantee that they will not raise other minds.

After all, no one wants to stay in the mountains all the time, burdened with the crime of being a thief for the rest of their lives.

Chen Xu originally predicted that the world would be in turmoil, but after three years, although there were rebellions everywhere, they were quickly pacified by the Han family. This makes many generals unable to see the hope of chaos in the world.

But now, if you tell them everything that happened in Luoyang. Chen Xu believes that even the most stupid person knows that chaos has arisen.

The weather was a little cold, Chen Xu's hands had just been wet by Chen Ting's urine, and before he had time to dry them after washing, he ran out in a hurry.

Feeling the coolness in his hands, Chen Xu rubbed his hands and said to Tian Feng and Cheng Yu: "Two military advisors, let's sit next to the brazier to keep warm." ”

After speaking, Chen Xu carried a stool and came to the brazier.

In the past few years, Chen Xu has asked the carpenters to make a lot of stools, furniture and other things, and at first they were sold outside to make a lot of money.

And because of the inconvenient transportation in the mountains, things are still relatively expensive.

But at this time, there were no patents, so it was not long before people copied these things. Later, the Yellow Turbans could no longer sell anything.

However, the appearance of chairs, stools, and various furniture greatly changed the customs and habits of the Yellow Turban Army.

However, in Tian Feng's view, kneeling and sitting can nourish qi and test a person's spirit and perseverance.

Therefore, he believes that those things made by strange lewd skills will not be on the table after all. Normally, he also disdains to sit on these things.

But today, he was too happy to pay attention to it.

Contrary to Tian Feng, Cheng Yu did not reject these things too much. He is a practical person, and he is able to accept these things that can make life easier.

Winters in the north are already very cold, and they are even more cold when they are in the mountains. The two of them sat on the chairs and put their hands on the brazier to bake the fire, and then they felt warm on their bodies.

Chen Xu said suddenly: "Yuan Hao, you said that Gong Qiao was also recalled to the capital by He Jin?" ”

In his previous life, he only knew that Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan were recalled to the capital, and he had never heard that Qiao Mao also led troops into Beijing.

The Qiao family was very kind to him, although after Chen Xu defected to the Yellow Turban, the two broke off contact. But Chen Xu's kindness to them has never been forgotten.

Qiao Mao handles government affairs and manages the place well, but when he marches and fights, he can't be Dong Zhuo's opponent. If you rashly become an enemy of Dong Zhuo, the end will definitely not be much better.

So when he heard the news of Qiao Mao, Chen Xu couldn't help but ask with concern.

Tian Feng knew that his lord valued love and righteousness, so he replied: "Gong Qiao was summoned back to Beijing, and after hearing the news that He Jin was killed and Ding Yuan was killed, he led his troops back to Dongjun. ”

Hearing the news of Qiao Mao's return, Chen Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Cheng Yu, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Yuan Benchu tried his best to plan to get rid of the ten permanent servants, but he didn't want to make a wedding dress for Dong Zhongying in the end. ”

"I listened to the scout's report, Yuan Benchu was preparing to abolish the Young Emperor in Dong Zhongying, and he strongly opposed it, and then fled from Luoyang."

Dong Zhuo was afraid of the huge power of the Yuan family, but he did not dare to investigate Yuan Benchu's disobedience to him, but instead named Yuan Shao Bohai Taishou and Yi Xianghou. He also appointed Yuan Shu as the rear general, and Cao Cao as the captain of the Xiao cavalry. ”

"Dong Zhuo was tyrannical, Yuan Highway was afraid of Dong Zhuo and ran to Nanyang."

"Cao Mengde failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, absconded in fear of crime, and now he is missing."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu sighed: "Although the Yuan brothers are from illustrious backgrounds, they are not successful enough, and they are more than defeated. ”

"On the other hand, Cao Mengde, although this person is a eunuch, he doesn't want to have such courage, he will become the enemy of the lord one day."

Tian Feng shook his head and said: "Although Cao Mengde is good, his background is not good after all. It is very difficult to get the approval of the scholars. ”

On the other hand, Yuan Benchu was prominent, the fourth generation of the Yuan family and the third duke, and the protégés and former officials were all over the world. He himself is even more humble and likes to make friends with heroes in the world. ”

Above the court, in the face of Dong Zhuo's fierceness, everyone was silent, only Yuan Benchu spoke up. Such a character is worthy of the word 'hero'. ”

"So I think that compared to Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu is the great enemy of the Lord in the future."

Cheng Yu continued to retort: "No, no." At the beginning of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, the formation was not established, and someone suggested to Yuan Benchu that Dong Zhuo should be cut off as soon as possible. ”

But Yuan Benchu was indecisive and hesitated, which led to a catastrophe. In my opinion, the **** who spoke up in the court must be annoyed and angry. Compared with Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu is still far behind. ”

The two of you have a word, and I have a word, each with its own opinion.

Chen Xu stood aside, listening to the argument between the two, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "It seems that in the future, Cheng Yu will defect to Cao Cao, and Tian Feng will defect to Yuan Shao, not without reason." ”

The words of the two have their own truths. At this time, Cao Cao had not yet shown the style of the hero, and Yuan Shao's character weaknesses had not been fully exposed.

At this time, the situation in the world is still chaotic. Many talented scholars began to choose their camp after the crusade against Dong Zhuo was completed.

……

During the New Year, the generals were summoned back to the main village by Chen Xu, thinking that it was to celebrate the New Year. But when they heard what happened in Luoyang, they were all shocked, and then their expressions were different.

It seems that Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan and others have complicated faces. The prestige of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Although they defected to Chen Xu, they still have some feelings for this once powerful empire. Now that I heard that the big man had fallen to this point, I felt a little related in my heart.

As for Tang Chen, Zhao Huang, Jiang Wu and the generals of the former Yellow Turban Army, they were very happy.

These people have no feelings for the Han, and the turmoil of the Han means that the opportunity for the revival of the Yellow Turban Army has appeared. When the opportunity comes, it also means that they can make contributions.

There is no doubt that everything that happened in Luoyang can be said to be earth-shattering. Even if they are as dull as Dian Wei and Chen Hu, they also smell the smell of mountain rain.

Chen Xu raised his wine glass, raised his hand at everyone, and said: "After today, the generals will return to the village, and they should be ready to be dispatched at any time." If you agree, please fill this cup with a full drink! ”

When the generals heard this, they all drank the wine in the cup in one go, and then said loudly: "We will obey the orders of the lord and the general!" ”

After the banquet, Zhu did not mention his return to the cottage, and Chen Xu also began to prepare for all affairs, ensuring that he could lead the army down the mountain at any time.

The sixth year of Zhongping passed like this, and in February of the seventh year of Zhongping, the news from all over the country spread to the cottage again.

Chen Xu convened Tian Feng and Cheng Yu to discuss the matter, and when they saw the intelligence collected by the Yellow Turban Army, they all felt incredible.

In just two months, the world can be said to be turbulent.

In December last year, in order to win over other forces, Dong Zhuo appointed Shangshu Han Fu as the pastor of Jizhou, Liu Dai as the assassin of Yanzhou, Chen Liukongling as the assassin of Yuzhou, and Zhang Miao of Dongping as Chen Liutaishou.

Whether it is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, or Cao Cao, they have all been sealed by Dong Zhuo and tried their best to win them over.

But these people did not appreciate it, first Yuan Shao fled to the Bohai Sea, recruited soldiers and horses, and was ready to fight at any time.

Then Cao Cao attempted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, fled back to Chenliu, scattered all his wealth, and raised troops in his own country.

Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao even pretended to be a letter to the three princes of Jingshi to the prefecture and county, stating Dong Zhuo's crimes and calling for troops.

At the beginning of this year, Yuan Shao and Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuangtun Hanoi, Jizhou Mu Han Fu Liuye, gave him military rations.

Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Lingtun Yingchuan, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Miao Brother Guangling Tai Shouchao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin and Cao Cao Jutun Jujube, and later General Yuan Shutun Luyang.

The princes responded one after another, elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and prepared to raise troops to attack Dong Zhuo.
