Chen Xu scratched his ears and cheeks, and he didn't think of what the officers and soldiers meant when he wanted to break his head.

When the Yellow Turban General heard the news of the withdrawal of the officers and soldiers from Wei County, he rejoiced and said: "Qu Shuai, the old thief of Huangfu has withdrawn from Wei County, why don't we take advantage of the situation to occupy it, and then become a rivalry with Guangzong?" ”

After listening to this person's suggestion, Chen Xu looked strange and stared at this person tightly.

The man was a little embarrassed by Chen Xu's staring, and asked, "Qu Shuai, but what is wrong with what I said?" ”

Chen Xu laughed loudly and said, "You put forward your own suggestion, even if it is wrong, what does it matter? ”

The man's words seemed to wake up a person in a dream.

The location of Wei County is surrounded by Quzhou, Guangzong and Qiu counties. The officers and soldiers abandoned Wei County, and for them, there was no loss at all.

According to common sense, if the Yellow Turban Army saw the officers and soldiers abandoning the city and fleeing, they would definitely divide their troops to occupy Wei County. In this way, Guangzong's already meager army will inevitably be weakened again.

'Divide and attack', Huangfu Song is a good calculation in his heart.

When people are faced with an empty city and can occupy it without much effort, it is undoubtedly a great temptation, and few people can hold on to it.

However, let him do whatever he could, and I would not move.

First of all, Huangfu Song underestimated Chen Xu and the Yellow Turban Army, and he didn't think anyone could see through his intentions.

Secondly, Chen Xu never thought about defending Guangzong all the time and fighting to the death with the officers and soldiers here. He just wanted to drag the main force of the officers and soldiers and cover the smooth retreat of Wang Yan and others.

Therefore, perhaps in the eyes of others, the empty city of Weixian County is a great temptation, but for Chen Xu, it is unattractive.

Chen Xu looked around at the crowd and explained to them: "The old thief of the Emperor Fu wants to distract our troops. We don't have many troops in Guangzong, and if we send 3,000 men and horses to garrison the boundary bridge, the troops are even more stretched. ”

"The old thief of Huangfu attacked Guangzong, and he couldn't attack it repeatedly, so he deliberately evacuated Wei County. If I do send troops to occupy Wei County, my forces will inevitably disperse again. At that time, the old thieves of Huangfu will be able to break them one by one. ”

When everyone heard Chen Xu's words, they were all impressed, so they didn't mention the occupation of Wei County.

Although he guessed Huangfu Song's intentions, Chen Xu still didn't dare to be careless. After all, Guangzong has Zhang Liang's experience.

Every day, Chen Xu had to go to the city wall in person to boost morale and let them stick to the city, not to be careless. He also sent someone to inform Chen Hu that he should only take care of the boundary bridge, and he didn't have to worry about other affairs.

Taking advantage of the evacuation of the officers and soldiers, Chen Xu sent the Yellow Turban soldiers to the woods to the west and cut down all the trees.

In this way, the entire area of Gwangjong City became an empty place. As long as the Yellow Turban Army stands on the city wall, they can see the surrounding situation clearly.

Seven or eight out of ten of the people in Guangzong City have left. The rest of the people are either inseparable from their homeland, or they have nothing to do with the Yellow Turban Army.

As for Guangzong's powerful and big families, they either escaped at the beginning, or they were all killed by the Yellow Turban Army and robbed their families of money and food.

The previous Yellow Turban Army was not like Chen Xu, who had to find excuses and divide objects for robbing people. Their general hatred of the rich makes them loot the local powerful and big families every time they break through.

Of course, if they don't act like this, how can they support the huge consumption of the Yellow Turban Army?

Therefore, most of the people in the city are good ordinary people, and the possibility of them having an affair with the officers and soldiers is also very small.

Even so, Chen Xu didn't dare to be careless. He constantly sent people to inspect all parts of the city, but anyone who found anything suspicious would be captured by the wolf-like Yellow Turban Army.

Only after the identity of the innocence is confirmed, will it be released.

In order to prevent the officers and soldiers from taking advantage of the laxity of the Yellow Turban Army as they did last time, they first sent small soldiers into the city in batches, and then came to seize the city with the outside and the outside.

While sending scouts and keeping an eye on the movements of the officers and soldiers, Chen Xu ordered the soldiers guarding the city gate to closely search the people who entered the city.

Moreover, how many people go out of the city every day and how many people enter the city, these statistics must be handed over to Chen Xu. In this way, by comparing the number of people entering and leaving the city, it can be found whether there are officers and soldiers who have mixed into the city.

Now Gwangjong could break out into war at any time. Generally speaking, people from other places will never come to Guangzong at this time.

If the number of people entering the city every day is much greater than the number of people leaving the city, it must include the meticulous work of officers and soldiers.

For five consecutive days, since the officers and men withdrew from Weixian and arrived in Quzhou, the scouts were no longer able to detect the movements of the officers and soldiers.

Quzhou has the Zhanghe River, which is occupied by officers and soldiers, and if you want to cross the river to investigate, it is tantamount to climbing to the sky.

Therefore, the situation reported by the scouts only said that they saw the flag of Quzhou City covering the sun from afar, and the shouts shook the sky.

Chen Xu is still not arrogant or impatient, boosts morale every day, and inspects the city.

On this day, Chen Xu was patrolling the city with a team of Yellow Turban soldiers.

There was a commotion nearby, and a soldier sat down on his horse and suddenly became frightened and ran like crazy. The soldier was thrown off his horse.

Although most men in Jizhou can ride horses, many of them are poor and cannot own horses.

Therefore, they only know some rough horse control skills, and if they want to truly transform into cavalry, they still need to be trained.

Now there are horses, so that the tent corporal can practice riding. Chen Xu ordered that whether he was patrolling in the city or scouting outside the city, he had to ride a horse every day.

Whether it is the Yellow Turban Army patrolling or scouting, except for those generals, they will be replaced by other Yellow Turban Army every day. Even the soldiers who defended the city had to find time every day to train in the art of controlling horses.

In this way, the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong almost all had the opportunity to practice horseback riding.

After the training of the city sergeants, Chen Xu transferred back the 3,000 defenders of the boundary bridge, and then let these people practice horseback riding.

In this way, these Yellow Turban Army, who already had some foundation, after coming into contact with horses, their riding skills, although they could not be compared with real cavalry, were already eye-catching.

The Yellow Turban Army who was thrown down just now, he was also patrolling on horseback for the first time, and his horse control skills were not very good. And the horse he rode was not a good horse, just a colt that had never been on the battlefield.

The frightened horse, galloping desperately through the streets, towards the place where the quarrel had just taken place.

Seeing this, Chen Xu was shocked. He didn't bother to check on the soldier who had fallen off his horse, and he grabbed the horse's belly and chased after the frightened horse.

The horse that Chen Xu rode was a general's mount captured by the Yellow Turban Army when they destroyed the officers and soldiers of Wei County, and it was very fast, far from being comparable to the horse.

Since the horses were frightened, and then Chen Xu's horse chasing, it can be said that it happened in the lightning and fire.

In the street, a man and a woman were arguing fiercely. Beside the woman, there was a little girl of five or six years old, her little hands gripping the hem of the woman's dress.

"Stomp, stomp!"

The frightened horses galloped, and they didn't know how to avoid it, and crashed directly into the three of them. Only then did the two adults react and wanted to dodge, but they found that their legs were weak with fright.

Seeing that the horse was about to collide with a few people, Chen Xu had already chased after him from behind.

He let out a loud cry on the horse's back, and in a moment's time, he flew forward and grabbed the frightened colt by the neck. Then he suddenly used force to knock the horses to the ground.

"Boom!"

The war horse was knocked to the ground, and by inertia, it actually slid two meters to the left and crashed into the house next to it. Then its brain burst, struggled a few times, and whimpered.

Fortunately, Chen Xu was agile, and the moment the horse fell to the ground, he pressed his hands on the horse under him, slammed it hard, and then jumped up. After the horse crashed into the house and died, Chen Xu landed firmly on the ground.

The other Yellow Turban soldiers who followed Chen Xu to patrol came back to their senses, and they all came to Chen Xu's side on horseback, and asked worriedly, "Qu Shuai, are you okay?" ”

Waving his hand, Chen Xu said, "I'm fine, you look at the brother who fell off the horse just now and see if he broke his bones." ”

At this time, the Yellow Turban soldier who had been thrown off the horse limped over. His face was full of shame, and he said: "It is the subordinates' poor riding skills that make the horses frightened and put Qu Shuai in danger." ”

Chen Xu didn't blame this person, but asked worriedly, "Did you fall to the bone?" ”

The yellow turban soldier was even more moved when he heard this, he choked up and said, "The villain is fine, but he has scratched some flesh and skin, and it is fine." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xu relieved himself.

He turned his head to see that his mount was sitting on the sidelines and snorting.

When Chen Xu pounced on the frightened war horse, he first grabbed its reins, otherwise, I am afraid that it would also hit the three people in the street.
