Brother Zhao Yun is a calm person. He knew very well that the teenagers in Zhaojia Village had learned some superficial martial arts.

But there is no way to win a battle against these wolf-like Yellow Turbans, even if they are twice as numerous as them.

Moreover, now the Yellow Turban Army has 500 cavalry, and there are only more than 200 sturdy men in Zhaojia Village.

Behind the Yellow Turban Army, there is the commander of the Yellow Turban Army who can kill Huangfu Song and shock the world. Even if his younger brother Zhao Yun was here, even if he could kill these Yellow Turban Army with his bravery, he would definitely not dare to do it.

It is not a trivial matter to attract the anger of the Yellow Turban Army Marshal. And people don't have malicious intentions, they just appreciate their brother too much.

"Ahem." The man coughed twice and said to the teenagers behind him, "This general has no malice, so he is rude." ”

He turned his head to the yellow turban handsome and said, "Since the general has been graciously invited, if Zhao Feng refuses to resign, it will be a bit hypocritical." The general, please wait a moment, and when I go back to the house to pack up my clothes, I will go to Zhending with my sister-in-law. ”

Xiaoshuai was overjoyed when he heard this, and naturally promised him.

In Zhending County, Chen Xu held a feast to wash the dust for Yang Feng and Bai Rao.

Between the two of them talking with Chen Xu, they felt that Qu was handsome and gentle, and he had great ambitions. They looked at each other, and they both felt that they had made no mistake this time.

Suddenly, Yang Feng left his seat, knelt on the ground and said: "When I was in Xia Quyang, the last general actually abandoned the city and abandoned the brothers in the city to escape alone. ”

"Today, Qu Shuai is the son-in-law of a great sage and good teacher, and he should lead the Yellow Turban Army in the world. We fled in fear of the battle that day, resulting in the destruction of the city of Xiaquyang, and the martyrdom of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Feng knocked on the ground with his forehead and stopped talking.

When Bai Rao saw this, he also knelt on the ground, knocked on the ground with his forehead, and shouted 'capital sin'.

Tian Feng sat upright, not squinting. Chen Xu's eyes narrowed, and then he laughed.

He also left his seat, helped the two of them up, and said, "Ants are still greedy for life, let alone humans?" ”

"Quyang was besieged that day, and the Yellow Turban Army was difficult to defend the lonely city, if they insisted on defending the city, what difference would it be from seeking death?"

"If a certain person is in the city that day, he will also withdraw, leaving him useful, and trying to make a comeback. What are the two brothers guilty of? ”

"Besides, it is precisely because you left Xiaquyang in the past that our Yellow Turban Army can add another strong force today. In this way, you are not only innocent, but meritorious. ”

When Yang Feng and Bai Rao heard this, they were overjoyed in their hearts. When they fled from Xiaquyang, every time they thought about it, they would feel uneasy.

Defecting to Chen Xu today, they were even more afraid that Chen Xu would despise the two of them because of this, because they had been depressed and uneasy in their hearts. Today they said it clearly, and when they saw that Chen Xu was not to blame, the big stone in their hearts fell.

The two were helped up by Chen Xu, naturally thanking them for their allegiance to the death.

Several people were talking happily, and Chen Xu suddenly smiled and said: "He and my Yellow Turban Army will achieve great things, and we will count on the two generals to let you guard the city alone at that time, and I think the two will definitely not abandon the city again." ”

When Yang Feng and Bai Rao heard this, their hearts sank. They knew that this was Qu Shuai beating the two of them.

The implication of Chen Xu's words is: If you can be of great use, he will definitely not be treated badly in the future. Alone in the army, garrisoning the city is not a problem. But I hope that you will not be like before, when the enemy comes, he will abandon the city and flee.

You can be blamed for the past, but you can't do it again. In any case, it is not a glorious thing to leave behind the robe and abandon the city.

In the way of employing people, although Chen Xu is still a little immature, he has already begun to show his edge.

For your subordinates, you can't just treat them well, sometimes the necessary beating is still very necessary.

Yang Feng and Bai Rao knelt on the ground again and said in unison: "If you get the love of Qu Shuai, let me wait to defend the city alone, even if I die in battle, I will never abandon the city and flee." ”

Chen Xu laughed, took the arms of the two and said, "If my Yellow Turban generals are so loyal to the two of them, why worry about the big thing?" ”

Tian Feng sat next to him, looking at the scene in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. A generation of heroes has begun to emerge under his witness.

After the banquet, in order to make Yang Fengbai Rao's heart feel at ease, Chen Xu removed six hundred elite men who were good at riding horses from the three thousand people they brought, and supplemented the losses from the battle with Huangfu Song.

The rest of the men and horses were still divided into two parts and handed over to Yang Feng and Bai Rao to command. However, the two of them were distributed in different camps.

During this time, although there were not a few people who came to defect to Chen Xu. But Chen Xu believes that the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army under his account must be dominated by the real Yellow Turban Army.

As for the homeless people who were recruited, even bandits and rogues, Chen Xu was ready to organize them into a reserve first. After these people have a certain combat effectiveness and are familiar with discipline, they will be organized into the regular army.

The rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled will not become soldiers in the future, but can only become the people under his rule.

Chen Xu believes that soldiers are expensive, but not too expensive.

Besides, the current Chen Xu does not have a stable territory, even if he wants to recruit more soldiers, he can't afford to raise them. Unless he wants to gather millions of people like Chu Yan in history, but his combat effectiveness is pitifully low.

And these are not what Chen Xu wants to see.

After Chen Xu arranged for Yang Feng and Bai Rao, he took dozens of personal soldiers to inspect around the county.

"Boom!"

Five hundred Yellow Turban troops entered the city, and although they deliberately slowed down the speed of their horses, they still raised a lot of dust in the city.

Chen Xu watched these Yellow Turban soldiers riding in the city from afar, and couldn't help but look sink.

Generally speaking, there are so many people in the city that you can't ride horses in the city unless it's an emergency. Moreover, this is not one man riding a horse, but five hundred soldiers. If you accidentally hurt the people in the city, what is good?

Thinking of this, Chen Xu's face sank, and he hurried in the direction of the cavalry.

Far away, Chen Xu was angry and shouted: "Who let you ride horses in the city?" ”

The five hundred Yellow Turban cavalrymen were all startled when they suddenly heard Chen Xu's voice. They followed Chen Xu's southern expedition to the north, and they were very familiar with the voice of their own commander.

At this time, the little marshal remembered that it seemed that Qu Shuai had issued a military order: except for the team patrolling the city, unless the situation was urgent, the rest of the cavalry was not allowed to ride horses in the city.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shuai's heart sank, and he hurriedly beckoned everyone to stop.

Then he rolled the saddle and dismounted, came to Chen Xu's side, knelt on the ground and said: "Subordinates should be damned, they actually forgot the military order of Qu Shuai, and asked the general to punish him." ”

"Humph!" Chen Xu snorted coldly and said, "There are so many of you galloping in the city, if you collide with the people in the city, what should you do?" ”

Xiao Shuai just knelt on the ground and kowtowed to plead guilty.

At this time, Chen Xu remembered that the person in front of him was the person he sent out to find Zhao Yun's traces.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that you have already found Changshan Zhao Zilong?" ”

Xiao Shuai raised his head and said, "Qu Shuai, the last general did not find Zhao Zilong, but he brought his brothers and sisters over. ”

Chen Xu looked up and saw that among the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army, there was really a man and a woman wearing sackcloth. They also dismounted from their horses and stood aside.

Although he didn't find Zhao Yun, Chen Xu was a little disappointed in his heart, but if he could bring his brothers and sisters to the army, he was not afraid that Zhao Yun would not come.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Chen Xu's face.

Then, he said to Xiao Shuai with a straight face: "Let's think that you have a merit in finding these two people, and spare your life." But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living sin cannot be escaped, and you go back to the barracks and take twenty rods of your own. ”

After speaking, Chen Xu ignored this little handsome and walked directly towards the man and woman.

When Xiao Shuai heard this, his face was relieved.

Qu Shuai let him take the cane by himself, in fact, he forgave himself in disguise. When the time comes, I will receive a military staff, but there will be a lot of trouble in it.

Zhao Yun's brother is called Zhao Feng, and his sister is called Zhao Yu. They saw a man walking towards them, and they all looked at him quietly.

……

Back in the county office, Chen Xu was still happy to be able to invite Zhao Yun's brother and sister.

At this moment, Tian Feng came to him and said softly: "Lord, it must not be a place to stay for a long time. Huangfu Song was defeated and died, and the Han family will definitely choose another good general to come to encircle and suppress us, and ask the lord to make plans as soon as possible. ”

Chen Xu Huoran woke up and hurriedly said: "I intend to lead everyone to hide in Mount Tai, but now there are many displaced people who come to defect, if you move forward here, won't it slow down the speed of the army?" ”

Although the Yellow Turban Army defeated the officers and soldiers and killed Huangfu Song, their strength was still weak and vulnerable compared to the entire Han family.

With the defeat of the officers and soldiers, how could the Han family stop there? If Chen Xu led so many people through several states and counties, I am afraid that he would be intercepted by officers and soldiers halfway.

At that time, Chen Xu either abandoned these people who came to him, or fought to the death.

Choosing the former, Chen Xu is absolutely unwilling. During this time, tens of thousands of people had come to him. If you forsake them halfway, will you not put them to death?

Choosing the latter, Chen Xu was also unwilling. Chen Xu has a deep understanding of the strength of the officers and soldiers, and Chen Xu himself knows how much weight the Yellow Turban Army has.

If they fight to the death with the officers and soldiers, there is no reason for the Yellow Turban Army to survive.

At this point, he couldn't help but regret it a little. Knowing today, he would not have followed Tian Feng's advice and accepted so many people.

According to Chen Xu's original intention, the Yellow Turban Army only needs to recruit some strong soldiers as reserve soldiers.

But Tian Feng suggested that no matter who came to defect, they could be absorbed.

Although Chen Xu was puzzled at that time, out of trust in Tian Feng, he didn't ask more. But now, where do the Yellow Turbans go from here?

Suddenly, he saw a smile on the corner of Tian Feng's mouth, and his heart moved, so he hurriedly said, "Please also ask Mr. to teach me!" ”

Tian Feng's face was pale, he stared at Chen Xu's eyes, and asked word by word: "Dare to ask the lord, what are your ambitions?" ”
