The original goal set by the Yellow Turban Army was to feed the war with war.

But now that they have suddenly lost the goal of the Wuhuan people, they can only set their sights on the Xianbei people.

However, the Xianbei people did not go south on a large scale now, and only a few scattered cavalry plundered everywhere in Youzhou.

These scattered Xianbei people are not qualified to be targeted by the Yellow Turban Army.

In fact, the Yellow Turban Army still has a way out, that is, as before, to rob the local rich and unkind rich and powerful. But because of the little episode that just appeared, no one dared to speak out again.

Everyone was silent, and in the end, Dian Wei didn't care so much, and said angrily: "Lord, why don't I just fight those big families who are rich and unkind like before?" ”

Dian Wei and Chen Xu met in adversity, and the relationship between the two was also very deep, so he didn't have much consideration.

Before Chen Xu could speak, Tian Feng shook his head and said: "Let's not mention that the powerful forces in Youzhou are far inferior to the Central Plains, and they may not be able to supply our army with food and grass. ”

"Just about the purpose of our army's dispatch this time, we must not rob the Han people of money and food, even those who are strong and powerful in the township, they can't."

Tian Feng is upright, he is what he has to say, and he will not be restrained at all because Dian Wei and Chen Xu are friendly.

The first time Dian Wei spoke, he was refuted by Tian Feng, and although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't say anything.

At this time, all the generals looked at Chen Xu, hoping that he could make up his mind.

The generals under the account expressed their opinions, but did not put forward a single pertinent suggestion. This couldn't help but make Chen Xu a little disappointed in his heart.

Turning his attention to Tian Feng again, Chen Xu asked, "For the current situation, can the military advisor have a high opinion?" ”

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "The current strength of my Yellow Turban Army is not strong enough, and it is already a wrong decision for the lord to choose to send troops to fight the Hu people at this time. ”

"For today's plan, we should lead the army back to the cottage, this is the best policy."

"The cottage rejuvenated the crowd and went north with great fanfare. But before you have a while, you want to return to the cottage and spread it, won't you make the world laugh? ”

Although the generals admired Tian Feng's talent and learning, none of them agreed to withdraw directly now.

Frowning and looking at the map, Chen Xu suddenly asked Zhao Huang: "Ziliang, do you know the terrain outside the plug?" ”

Although Zhao Huang didn't know why Chen Xu asked this, he still subconsciously said: "The outside of the plug is vast and boundless, and there are countless deserts and grasslands, even if we often go in and out of the plug, it is impossible to know the terrain there well." ”

Tian Feng heard Chen Xu's meaning, and was horrified, and hurriedly admonished: "Lord, the land outside the fortress is vast, if our army rushes out of the fortress, the slightest mistake will be wiped out!" ”

Chen Xu also nodded and said: "I just have this idea, and I will not necessarily implement it." ”

Tian Feng said disagreeingly: "This idea, the lord can't even think about it. The defeat of the Han army nine years ago should be taken as a warning. ”

didn't argue with Tian Feng, Chen Xu just said: "What the military advisor said is very true, I will definitely not have such thoughts in the future." ”

It was only at this time that Chen Xu knew why Yuan Shao in history didn't like Tian Feng anymore.

A person like Tian Feng who is just committing a crime, except for those who are open-minded, no one can accommodate it.

"Grain and grass, grain and grass!"

Chen Xu also had a headache now, so he could only murmur in a low voice.

"If there is really no way, I can only lead the troops back to the cottage first, and then send troops after Xianbei goes south on a large scale."

Chen Xu thought secretly in his heart.

But in this way, what the Yellow Turbans did during this time will become a joke. The morale of the soldiers will also suffer a very heavy blow.

If it weren't for the last resort, Chen Xu would definitely not be willing to act like this.

At this moment, suddenly more than a dozen horsemen rushed over, and they shouted loudly from afar: "Lord, the Xianbei people have gathered 50,000 horses, went directly south from Danhan Mountain, crossed the Great Wall, broke through Macheng, and killed the captain of Wuhuan!" ”

Suddenly hearing the news, everyone was shocked. Captain Hu Wuhuan, he has at least 5,000 officers and soldiers under his account, and even if he eats some empty salary, he has 3,000 men and horses.

These 3,000 men and horses may not be able to defeat the Xianbei people on the frontal battlefield, but if they defend the city, even if the Xianbei people have 50,000 horses, it will be difficult to break through the city.

You must know that although the Xianbei cavalry is brave and good at fighting, they do not have siege equipment. Sometimes a small city, if they want to attack it, they have to pay a big price.

What's more, it's a city like Macheng that is tall and garrisoned by elite officers and soldiers?

It turned out that because the Xianbei people had been going south from Lulongsai, the guards of Macheng were slack in their hearts and ate a lot of empty salaries. Coupled with the sudden attack of the Xianbei people, this made Macheng quickly fall away.

The reason for the loss of Macheng is no longer within the scope that Chen Xu and others should consider. The news of the Xianbei people going south made Chen Xu and others, who were in trouble, see hope again.

"The whole army obeys the order and marches westward!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Xu answered this order.

In the county office of Macheng, he Lian hugged two young and beautiful women, and laughed regardless of his image.

And the generals under the tent were so happy to see the khan, but none of them dared to say anything. It can be said that the current Helian is absolutely proud.

When he decided to go south directly from Danhan Mountain and attack Macheng, everyone was opposed. After all, in the past, the Han family had laid down heavy troops on the southern line of Danhan Mountain.

And according to the practice of the Xianbei people, it has always been from Lulongsai to the south.

It can be said that before the attack on Macheng, no one thought that Helian could succeed. Many tribal leaders were also ready to see his jokes.

However, just as the Xianbei people thought that attacking Macheng was a very incredible thing, so did the defenders of Macheng.

Therefore, he fought crookedly, and actually broke through the unprepared Macheng in one fell swoop, and killed the captain of Huwuhuan, slaughtering the Han army in Macheng.

In Macheng, several Xianbei people kicked open the door of a private house and rushed in with sharp blades in hand.

When they saw a woman with a slight appearance, they all burst out laughing.

The woman hid behind her man, and looked at the Xianbei cavalry who suddenly broke through the door with frightened eyes. And the man, holding a wooden stick, confronted the Xianbei people.

"Hahahaha!"

Several Xianbei cavalrymen saw the man's movements, and they all laughed unscrupulously. Two of them flashed a fierce look in their eyes, looked at each other, picked up the scimitar in their hands and slashed at the man.

"Poof!"

How can a blood-studded, defenseless man be the opponent of these wolf-eyed tigers? In just two rounds, the man's huge head was cut off.

When the woman saw her man's head in a different place, she couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Those Xianbei people looked at the woman's pear blossom with rain, and laughed even more proudly. A few Xianbei people couldn't help but quickly take off their pants and pounced on the woman.

In the sound of clothes shattering, only the smug laughter of the Xianbei people remained, and the woman's screams of pain.

Some of the above situations are played out from time to time in this city. Macheng, which was breached by the Xianbei people, was full of killings and the weak screams of women.

For a moment, everyone fell into despair.

"Drive, drive!"

A team of 7,000 men galloped across the road, kicking up a cloud of dust.

When the outline of the city was reflected in their eyes from afar, these cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army, who had been marching for several days, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord, according to the scout's report, the Xianbei people have left Macheng two days ago."

Zhao Huang patted his horse and came to Chen Xu and said to Chen Xu.

Wiping the beads of sweat on his face, Chen Xu said, "Let's take a look in the city first!" ”

The Yellow Turban Army has been running non-stop for three days, and has already become sleepy and tired. At this time, I met an empty city, and I will definitely enter the city to rest.

Only after the cavalry under their tent has finished recuperating will they have the energy to fight against the Xianbei people.

Although the Xianbei people left Macheng three days ago, it didn't take long for Chen Xu and the others to catch up with them.

Because the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army were all lightly armed, the Xianbei people grabbed a lot of money and food in Macheng, which would naturally slow down the marching speed. Moreover, they have to attack cities and land along the way, and continue to plunder everywhere.

As a result, their speed becomes even slower.

"Ziliang, you first lead a hundred people into the city to reconnoitre. After making sure there was no ambush, I waited before entering the city. ＇

Chen Xu was not paralyzed at all because of the retreat of the Xianbei people.

He knew that on the battlefield, maybe just a small negligence would put the entire team in a situation from which they could never recover.

Zhao Huang received the order and entered the city with a hundred cavalry. It took a pillar of incense for him to lead the cavalry

Come back and come back to life.

Zhao Huang, who has always had a sincere smile on his face, is blushing at this time. From the hand where he held the weapon, the bruised arm could see the anger in his heart at this time.

Coming to Chen Xu, Zhao Huang rolled the saddle and dismounted, and said sadly: "Lord, Macheng has almost become a purgatory on earth now, and the people inside are not one in ten. ”

He stiffened his neck and said loudly, "Those Xianbei dogs, damn it! ”

When the army entered the city, they did not see the bustling situation, but many corpses could be seen everywhere.

Some of the men were crucified to the ground, others had their heads cut off and even their limbs cut off.

As for the women, almost all of them were unclothed, and they were in a mess. Even many little girls of a few years old are no exception.

Many houses in the entire city can be seen to have been burned.

Because the weather was so hot, the corpses lying on the ground had begun to stink.

"What a brute!"

Zhao Yun, who has always been gentle and elegant, couldn't help but clench the spear in his hand and scolded loudly.

Chen Xu just quietly looked at everything in front of him and didn't say a word.
