Halfway through hearing the words, Chen Xu knew Wang Yan's intentions.

Although Wang Yan said a few words, he first pointed out the identity of his old friend with Chen Xu, and unknowingly, he planted the seeds of doubt in the hearts of the county officials.

Not only that, but he also told the story of Bocai's great destruction of the officers and soldiers, which made the officers and soldiers defending the city fearful and their morale dropped.

In the end, he used retreat as advance and withdrawal of troops as the reason to once again alienate the relationship between Chen Xu and the officers and soldiers.

Even if someone in the county sees through Wang Yan's plan, but what Wang Yan said, the guards in the city know it, and there must be many people who are suspicious.

In this way, the generals will be separated, and the Yellow Turban Army will have an opportunity to take advantage of, which is really a good calculation.

Chen Xu looked at Wang Yan, who turned to leave, picked up the two-stone strong bow, hesitated for a long time, and finally put down the bow and arrow.

In today's situation, the best way to break the situation is to kill Wang Yan with an arrow.

In this way, although Bu Ji will be annoyed and angry, and order the siege of the city, it will eliminate the mustard between Chen Xu and the others.

After struggling for a long time, Chen Xu did not do so.

Wang Yan was able to say such a thing alone in the city, whether it was his courage or intelligence, it was admirable.

Although I don't know why there is no record of this person in history, even if he is on the opposite side, Chen Xu does not want such a person to die.

Chen Jing saw that Chen Xu did not shoot Wang Yan to death, and immediately sweated profusely, he has always been good at calculation, how can he not know that it is boring?

Looking around, seeing the suspicious look on the faces of the county officials and city guards, Chen Jing secretly said bad in his heart.

"Humph! Using such a superficial divisive strategy, the thief deceived me and there was no one in Puyang? ”

Qiao Yu and Chen Xu have been together for so long, naturally they will not believe that Chen Xu will collude with the Yellow Turban Army, and seeing that everyone has doubts on their faces, they began to relieve Chen Xu.

Qiao Mao also laughed, saying to everyone: "Although the thief has some means, I don't know what the relationship between Wen Zhao and my Qiao family is, and now he is calculating everything, but it is useless!" ”

Among the officials in the county, there are also many smart people, and Wang Yan's discordant plan is too obvious, although they have some doubts at first, but after all, Chen Xu has a lot of relationship with the Qiao family, and no one says it clearly.

After the Qiao family and his son spoke, they remembered that since Chen Xu studied under Qiao Xuan, how could he betray the Qiao family and defect to the Yellow Turban? In this way, everyone is naturally relieved.

Chen Xu saw Qiao Yu and Qiao Mao defending themselves so much, he was grateful, and said loudly at the moment: "Yellow Turban thieves, if you commit chaos, you will be captured by officers and soldiers sooner or later." ”

"A certain first received the great favor of the Qiao family, and then was appreciated by the princes of the county and entrusted with important tasks. Xu was terrified in his heart, and he trained his soldiers carefully every day, and he did not dare to slack off. Now that the thieves are coming, they must swear to defend the city and fight the yellow scarf to the death! ”

Chen Xu spoke categorically, and when the guards heard this, they had no doubts in their hearts.

……

The Yellow Turban Army really did not attack the city, and more than 10,000 people slowly retreated. After Chen Xu ordered the soldiers to guard the four gates, he came to the county guard's mansion.

As soon as Chen Xu entered the door, he saluted the county officials, and then said: "Princes and gentlemen, please allow me to rob the camp tonight, and the thieves will be today." ”

The officials in the county were all taken aback, and Qiao Mao asked unhappily: "Wen Zhao also said yesterday that you should defend the city to the death, and you should not go out of the city to fight the enemy, why did you suddenly change your mind today?" ”

Qiao Mao also thought that Chen Xu was calculated by Wang Yan, and he was dissatisfied, so he wanted to send troops to retaliate.

Although he is not familiar with military affairs, he also knows that 'the general cannot raise troops out of anger', so his tone is naturally not very good.

Qiao Yu also said: "Da Lang Hugh wants to fall for the thief's trick." ”

Looking at everyone's faces, Chen Xu smiled, sorted out his thoughts, and said loudly: "Don't worry, I haven't lost my proportions. ”

"The way of war is ever-changing, one time and another."

"Yesterday, the thief army did not arrive, and if the county sent troops to attack the thief, the soldiers would definitely not want to. However, today's thieves are coming, and the survival of Puyang is closely related to the sergeants and soldiers of the army. ”

"Looking at it today, although the thieves are elite, Bu Ji is not a leader in the army. As the saying goes, 'one general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies', Bu Ji commands the Yellow Turban Army, what is there to fear? ”

Chen Xu said this, his face full of pride.

The people in the county were puzzled, they had only seen it once, but they didn't know where Chen Xu could see that Bu Jifei was a leader in the army.

The prime minister then asked: "How can Wen Zhao see that Bu Ji is not a leader in the army?" ”

"Now that it is almost noon, the Yellow Turban Army has been attacking for half a day, and Bu Ji has dared to invade Puyang regardless of the fatigue of the soldiers and the fact that he has not buried the pot to make rice. Attacking the city with a tired army is a taboo for soldiers, and it can be seen that this person is not familiar with military affairs. ”

"Wang Yan is known for his strategy, he is familiar with military books, he will not know this, Wang Yanbi persuaded him before Bu Ji came to attack, but Bu Ji did not accept his advice, and still led the troops to come, which shows that this person is stubborn and self-serving."

"When the soldiers are in the city, they retreat without fighting, and the military orders are capricious, and the morale of the thief army will definitely drop."

What Chen Xu said was reasonable, and the county officials also nodded when they heard this. For Chen Xu to have such a strong insight, they all had a look of surprise on their faces.

Ignoring the look of surprise on everyone's faces, Chen Xu continued: "The thief army retreated twenty miles to the village, and when it was set up in the village, it was already approaching. ”

"The Yellow Turban soldiers have been attacking for two days, they are physically and mentally exhausted, and their defenses will inevitably be relaxed, and our army will steal the camp, even if it cannot succeed in a battle, it can also greatly demoralize the enemy."

"At the beginning of this month, the moon is not full, but the weather is clear, and when the stars rise in the evening, it is a good weather for the camp."

Although the officials in the county did not understand military affairs, Chen Xu analyzed it so thoroughly, they were suddenly full of confidence, hoping that Chen Xu could defeat the Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop, and they all said: "If Wen Zhao can succeed in robbing the camp, it will be a great achievement!" ”

……

The Yellow Turban Army camp, when the camp is completed, it is really time to come. Bu Ji yawned a lot, his face was full of tiredness, and he gave a casual order, and he was about to go into the tent to rest.

Wang Yan lined up the crowd, gave a salute to Bu Ji, and then said: "Qu Shuai, Chen Xu should not be underestimated. Now that our army has just arrived, and the soldiers are tired, if the officers and soldiers come to rob the camp, what should they do? ”

"I also ask Qu Shuai to give an order, so that the soldiers of the three armies will not leave their weapons and armor, and send scouts to patrol the night to prevent Chen Xu from stealing the camp."

Bu Ji was really tired, yawned again, and said impatiently: "You used the discord strategy today, Chen Xu and the county officials must be separated, he is now too busy to take care of himself, how could he come to rob the camp?" ”

"But ......"

Wang Yan was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by Bu Ji.

"The soldiers have been running for two days, and the people are sleepy and tired, and I regard them as my brothers, and if I sleep in my clothes, how can I rest well?"

"Besides, according to the scout's report, after we retreated, there was some commotion on the city wall, and there was even a shout of killing. I expect that your discord plan will be successful, and Chen Xu has been taken down by the county soldiers. Go away, and don't say anything more. ”

Wang Yan opened his mouth, but finally retreated, after all, he was only guessing about the enemy's stealing camp, and if he insisted on admonishing him, he would definitely dislike the boss.

Thinking of the Puyang riots that the scouts talked about, Wang Yan was slightly relieved, I hope Chen Xu has been taken down by the county soldiers, but it's a pity that he has a lot of ability.

Wang Yan was originally a descendant of Wang Mang, and when Wang Mang was in power, although the power was tilted towards the government and the opposition, he still left a way back for himself just in case.

He sent the young son born to one of his concubines to the current Wangjia Village. Then let the henchmen raise this little son to adulthood and teach him knowledge.

Later, Wang Mang was beheaded by the whole family, leaving only this bloodline in the world, Wang Mang's young son knew his life experience, and set up a rule, but all the descendants of the Wang family are not allowed to be Han officials for generations.

This is also the reason why the children of the Wang family would rather live a poor life than become a leader.

Of course, most people in Wangjia Village are not Wang Mang's descendants, and even the descendants of Wang Mang's youngest son do not all know about it, only the eldest son of the Wang family is qualified to know.

But Wang Yan has great ambitions and hopes that he can enter the prime minister, but he has the legacy of his ancestors, and he has to abide by it. After seeing the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he devoted himself to the Yellow Turban, hoping to show his talents.

In history, after Huangfu Song exterminated Bocai, he waved his troops north, captured Bu Ji alive, beheaded 7,000, and Wang Yan also died in the chaos, so he did not leave a name in history.

Wang Yan returned to his big tent, feeling exhausted, although he was a little irritable in his heart, but thinking of the turmoil in Puyang City during the day, he calmed down again.

He didn't expect that the so-called riot in the city detected by the scout station was completely a scene deliberately staged by Chen Xu in order to let Bu Ji relax his vigilance.

After Chen Xu finished the scene of the riots in the city, he selected a thousand elite soldiers and asked them to rest first.

As soon as the time came, Chen Xu woke up everyone, and after eating, he began to march to Buji Dazhai.

At this time, the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army also returned to the camp, but they were not worried about being discovered.

Today is the beginning of the month, and the moon is like a beautiful girl, squinting with big eyes, crooked, long.

Although the moon is not round, the sky is full of stars, and the earth is not dark, and it is just right to march at night.

Although twenty miles is not far, in ancient times, the normal march of the army was only more than twenty miles a day, and the larger the army, the slower the marching speed.

Fortunately, Chen Xu only led a thousand people, and there was no grain and grass to drag him down, and by the middle of the Yin period, he arrived near the Buji camp.

At this time, it was equivalent to four o'clock in the morning in the later generations, Chen Xu ordered the soldiers not to make a sound, rest for a while, and then send Chen Hu to lead more than a dozen skilled soldiers to inquire about the news.

Although Chen Hu was reckless, he was coarse and fine, and Chen Xu was still very relieved of him.

The 1,000 people brought by Chen Xu this time were mostly former county soldiers, and although they lacked training, they were still much stronger than the displaced people recruited later.

After a pillar of incense, Chen Hu came back and said to Chen Xu: "Eldest brother, I observed the Buji camp, and sure enough, as the eldest brother expected, not only the camp was very sloppy, but even the patrol soldiers were very few, and now they are all drowsy. ”

When Chen Xu heard this, he was overjoyed and looked at the hour, and now it is already the beginning of the year, and it is the time when people are sleeping soundly and their vigilance is the weakest, so they are ready to rob the camp immediately.
