69.Chapter 69: Cheng Yu

In Puyang City, the surviving Haoqiang and big families breathed a long sigh of relief when they saw Chen Xu and the others leave.

Only now did they make sure they were completely safe. Some powerful families looked at Chen Xu and the others who were leaving with complicated faces.

These people, their families have not done any big evil things, nor have they defected to Zhang Yong with a clear banner, and they have not been harassed by Chen Xu at home.

Not only that, but when a few families were slandered by hooligans, Chen Xu actually sent soldiers to make decisions for them.

Those Haoqiang, who were required to pay 3,000 stone of grain and grass as compensation, also had complicated faces and remorse in their hearts. Knowing that today, they would not have defected to Zhang Yong in the first place.

For local tycoons, it is the wisest decision to maintain such a transcendent position of neutrality all the time.

Speaking of which, being blackmailed by Chen Xu for 3,000 stones of grain and grass, they should hate Chen Xu.

However, they took refuge in Zhang Yong and helped frame Chen Xu in front. Chen Xu attacked Puyang, not only did not kill them, but returned the materials they had paid over.

If there is revenge and no revenge, and the people are divided into food, it is benevolence; It is righteousness to avenge the people and punish the wicked; Asking for food to withdraw from the army and return materials is a letter.

Such an act, although Chen Xu killed many people in Puyang City, it is also admirable.

Chen Xu looked back, looked at the already blurred Puyang City, and sighed slightly.

He admitted that he had committed a lot of murder in Puyang City. However, for the sake of Liwei, for the sake of future consideration, he had to do so.

If he is too weak this time, no matter where he goes in the future, there will be strong opponents against him. Only the sword and the olive branch can not push themselves to the opposite side of all the powerful while intimidating them.

As a thief, there is no fixed rear, which is destined for Chen Xu to rob to maintain the survival of his team.

Robbing the people, Chen Xu will never be able to do this. Not to mention that the people's lives are already difficult, and there is not much food at home, even in his own heart, he will never be allowed to do this.

The remaining targets are only the government and Haoqiang.

It can be said that the financial resources of the local government are far greater than those of the government. In today's Han Dynasty, the treasury is empty, even if Chen Xu can break the county, he may not be able to collect many materials.

Moreover, compared with the government, Haoqiang's house is easier to break.

However, blindly robbing the powerful and powerful, there is no objection to being the enemy of this class of the entire Han Empire. Chen Xu's soul comes from later generations and knows the powerful power of this class.

If he really goes against them completely, Chen Xu will definitely be defeated.

He tried his best, and he killed people to establish authority and eliminate harm for the people; It is also to ask for compensation and return more and materials.

At the end of the day, the sword goes hand in hand with an olive branch. For some heroes who like to protect themselves, when the enemy has great strength and does not touch their own interests, they tend to watch from the sidelines.

The current Chen Xu, with a team of thousands of people, is not the Chen Xu who once had the title of leader of the rebel army but had no official position. Moreover, Chen Xu is just a thief, so he doesn't need to look forward and backward like an official, looking up at them and snorting.

It can be said that the current Chen Xu is like a hedgehog, although the heroes are resentful in their hearts, they dare not provoke easily.

Of course, if they find a chance, they will definitely pounce on Chen Xu without hesitation and bite hard.

On the avenue, more than 10,000 people walked slowly. The front and rear armies of this team are all soldiers with sharp blades. In the middle, there are some old and weak women and children, and they are the families of the soldiers.

The clansmen of Chenjia Village, Chen Xu made arrangements early and let them migrate to the Chen family in Dongwuyang. With the protection of Chen Gong, these clansmen of Chenjia Village will basically not have any problems.

There are more than 10,000 people, boundless.

The crowd had been traveling for several days and had reached the territory of Yanggu. Fortunately, Chen Xu scavenged a lot of carts from Puyang, so that the old and weak women and children had a means of transportation. Otherwise, the march will be even slower.

The Yanggu County Commander already knew that Chen Xu and others were coming, and he was so frightened that he closed the city gate.

Chen Xu led 500 men and horses, watched the soldiers' families go east, and silently muttered in his heart: "I hope that Brother Guofu and A Qing will have a smooth trip." ”

made up his mind to go north to join the Yellow Turban, but Chen Xu had to bother to settle his family. After thinking about it, only by settling them in the mountains can they avoid the scourge of war.

However, although there are many small mountains in the Central Plains, there are not many large mountains that can discourage officers and soldiers.

Thinking about it, only the Taishan Mountains in Taishan County can settle everyone.

If you want to reach Mount Tai, you must pass through Beiguo County and enter Mount Tai County, and you don't know how many counties you have to pass through.

During this journey, if the officers and soldiers took advantage of the situation to go out of the city to attack, the lives of the families of these soldiers would be in danger.

In order to ensure the safety of everyone, Chen Xu left more than 2,500 people behind, and recruited many men who could take up arms.

There are not a few wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the mountains, and Chen Xu also left Dian Wei, a fierce general. He has lived in the mountains for several years, and he can cross the stream after the tiger, and with him here, ordinary beasts really don't have to worry.

Li Guo's family has been hunters for generations, and he and some of his clansmen were also left in this team and went to Mount Tai. Chen Qing was good at guarding and rigorous, and he was also left behind.

Seeing this huge team leave, Chen Xu, who had no worries, looked around at the five hundred people behind him, and suddenly his arrogance soared.

He raised his whip and said to the people, "Go with me!" ”

In Dong'e City, after the Yellow Turban Army retreated, the heroes and big families who were hiding in the city all returned to Wubao outside their cities, and Cheng Yu was no exception.

In the past few days, the situation in Dongjun has changed.

First, Dongjun Taishou was dismissed, and then Chen Xu and Dian Wei, who made great contributions, were actually accused of fornicating with the yellow scarf and were imprisoned.

I have to say that Chen Xu and Dian Wei fell into such a fate, and they did not have the thread of Dong'e and Haoqiang.

After hearing that Chen Xu rebelled and broke through Puyang, many of those powerful families who had ghosts in their hearts hid in the county seat.

In Cheng Mansion, an old housekeeper came to Cheng Yu and said to him: "Master, Chen Xu is rebelling now, and Dong'e has many heroes and strongmen who have a gap with him, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not come to retaliate." Why didn't the owner join them and hide in the county town to avoid trouble? ”

Although Cheng Yu's personality is not likable, his talent has been affirmed by everyone. Especially in the county rebellion, after he led the people to recapture Dong'a, he became even more famous.

Some time ago, Dong'e's powerful and big families kept sending people to invite Cheng Yu, wanting him to help defend the city and resist Chen Xu, but Cheng Yu just couldn't refuse.

Putting down the bamboo slip in his hand, Cheng Yu got up and stroked his beard. He is more than 1.9 meters tall, and in the eyes of the housekeeper who is only 1.7 meters tall, he is undoubtedly an existence that needs to be looked up.

Looking at this old slave who has followed him since he was a child and is loyal to him, Cheng Yu replied: "Chen Xu is very human, and he is not comparable to the county. Now that he is forced to rebel, if he insists on attacking Dong'a, Dong'a will not be spared. ”

"I already know what Chen Wenzhao Puyang did. I, Cheng, have neither bullied the good people, nor framed him Chen Xu, so why be afraid? ”

"Now I just need to stay at home quietly, and I don't have to worry about the rest."

The butler was impressed by the words and slowly retreated.

But he didn't want to, as soon as he returned to the courtyard, he heard a loud noise outside the door. The housekeeper looked up and saw many people with yellow scarves on their heads, surrounding the entire Cheng Mansion.

Seeing this, the housekeeper was horrified, and his legs began to tremble, didn't the Yellow Turban Army have recently withdrawn from Dongjun?

Cheng Yu once helped Dong'a defend the city, causing the Yellow Turban Army to attack the city repeatedly but returned in vain. With such a great enmity, how can they be spared if they fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army today?

Cheng Yu also heard the commotion outside the door, he picked up his sword and walked out of the door. After seeing clearly that the person who came was the Yellow Turban Army, he smiled bitterly.

The one who wanted to wait did not wait, but waited for the enemy.

Cheng Yu is a celebrity in the end, and his bearing is extraordinary. He strode out of the city and came to the Yellow Turbans with a sharp sword in hand, his face showing no fear.

Looking at the eyes of the Yellow Turban Army, with awe and hatred, Rao is Cheng Yu has good qi cultivation skills, and his scalp is also a little numb for a while.

Seeing that the enemy was outnumbered, Cheng Yu didn't struggle, still dropped the long sword in his hand, and said to the Yellow Turban Army: "What you are trying to do is nothing more than my Cheng Yu's life." I have heard that the Yellow Turban Army is benevolent and righteous, and does not bully good people. ”

"Although my Cheng Mansion has a slight reputation in Dong'a, it has never harmed others. Take my head as long as you can, and please spare my family. ”

After speaking, Cheng Yu didn't say anything more, closed his eyes and waited for death.

"Why is this so, sir? The two armies are fighting, each for its own master, we only have admiration for Mr., how dare we kill Mr.? ”

"Wang Yan came here today, just at the invitation of a friend, to visit Mr."

A voice sounded, but the two of them came out in line. The leader is none other than Wang Yan. When he saw the face of the person next to him, Cheng Yu's heart was relieved.
