After receiving Zhang Liao's allegiance, Chen Xu was naturally overjoyed.

He pulled Zhang Liao up, stroked his back and said, "I have Wenyuan, why worry about the state and the state?" ”

Then Chen Xu asked Zhang Liao to resume his work in the state, and received the position of a mighty captain.

Zhang Liaoguan was reinstated and received the rank of lieutenant, so he was naturally overjoyed and thanked Chen Xu repeatedly.

A rush of footsteps came, and Tian Feng and Cheng Yu walked quickly, their faces full of joy.

Chen Xu was quite surprised when he saw this.

He knew that these two people's qi cultivation skills were very good, and they had always been moody. But I don't know why the two of them behaved like this today.

Before Chen Xu could ask the doubts in his heart, Tian Feng waved the battle report in his hand and shouted loudly: "Great joy, great joy of the lord!" ”

"Oh?" Chen Xu's eyes lit up and asked, "Could it be that Zilong has already taken Shangdang County?" ”

Chen's army divided into three routes and attacked three county towns.

Now Taiyuan County and Shangdang County have been captured, and only Shangdang County remains, and no news has yet come.

It was only when he heard the word 'great joy' that Chen Xu guessed that it was good news from the party.

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "That's right! ”

When Chen Xu heard this, he was shocked.

He just said it casually, and he didn't think that Zhao Yun would be able to capture Shangdang County so quickly.

In Chen Xu's opinion, Zhao Yun may have won a small victory, or defeated Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo.

However, the Shangdang County soldiers have plenty of food, and there are more dangers in Huguan, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

With the 10,000 cavalry under Zhao Yun's account, unless Shangdang Taishou surrendered the city, Zhao Yun would definitely not be able to conquer Huguan.

Chen Xu asked Zhao Yun to take 10,000 cavalry and send troops to the party, which did not mean to train him.

According to the plan of Chen Xu, Tian Feng and others, the 10,000 cavalry were just throwing stones to ask for directions.

After the other two roads completely pacified Yanmen County and Taiyuan County, he was also ready to personally lead a large army to attack Shangdang County.

But now, there is actually news that Shangdang County has been captured by Zhao Yun, how can Chen Xu not be surprised?

didn't care about anything else, Chen Xu hurriedly said, "Quickly show me the battle report!" ”

Tian Feng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly handed the battle report in his hand to Chen Xu. Chen Xu opened the battle report, the more he read it, the happier he became, and finally couldn't help laughing.

He looked around at the few people in the field and said, "Shangdang County has Huguan natural insurance, I didn't have the luxury of hoping that Zilong would be able to take down and merge the state." ”

"But I don't want to, Zilong actually gave me a big surprise, what a big surprise!"

After finishing speaking, he handed the battle report in his hand to Gao Shun, and said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, you can also take a look." ”

"No!"

Hearing that Zhao Yun led 10,000 cavalry to capture Shangdang County, to be honest, Zhang Liao's surprise was no less than Chen Xu's.

Although he was young, he served as a member of the state.

In addition, he is a native of Bingzhou, so he understands the danger of Huguan better than Chen Xu.

In his opinion, even if the elite infantry with siege equipment is difficult to break through the Huguan, let alone 10,000 cavalry.

Besides, the Taishou who went to the party, although he was a little ambitious, he was thoughtful and talented, and he was by no means a mediocre person.

He guarded Shangdang County, and even Dong Zhuo couldn't get his hands on it, the northern gateway of Luoyang. What's more, it's Zhao Yun?

Gao Shun had already received the battle report, and Zhang Liao didn't have time for him to think about it, so he came to Gao Shun and read the battle report.

"A certain general will induce Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo to enter Xiaoyan Valley with 3,000 Hun cavalry and force them to surrender."

"Then pretending to take advantage of the situation to attack the Hun camp, Yu Fuluo and Zhang Yang led two thousand Hun cavalry to surrender Huguan, and the inside and outside should jointly attack Huguan."

"Shangdang County and the officials in the county have never heard of the reputation of the lord. Hearing that the party was too guarded and defeated, he changed the flag and surrendered the city. ”

"Shangdang Taishou was also killed by Yu Fuluo."

Although the battle report was very brief, there was an uproar in Zhang Liao's heart.

He once heard Gao Shun mention Zhao Yun, saying that he was a young hero, martial arts, and courage, and won Chen Xu's trust.

To be honest, hearing Gao Shun praise Zhao Yun like this, Zhang Liao was still a little unconvinced.

But this time Zhao Yun's record made Zhang Liao have to admire.

"There are really people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. I used to think I was a hero, but compared to the lord and Zhao Zilong, it was still far from it. ”

After reading the battle report, Zhang Liao secretly sighed in his heart.

Within half a month, Chen Xu captured the three most fertile counties in the eastern part of Bingzhou. made the princes of the world look sideways, and everyone was jealous.

Now that the three counties have been pacified, Chen Xu naturally began to prepare to seize the rest of the counties.

Shangdang County, with its dangerous terrain and easy to defend and difficult to attack, is the southern gateway of the entire state, and its geographical location is very important.

Chen Xu recalled Wang Yan of Yanmen County and named him the Taishou of the Shangdang. Yan led Liu Pi, Gong Du, and 10,000 elite soldiers to enter Shangdang.

And Chen Xu asked Wang Yan to integrate the original soldiers and horses in the county and guard Shangdang County for him.

Yanmen County is adjacent to Youzhou and Jizhou, and the whole county is surrounded by the Great Wall, and the end is the northern gateway of Bingzhou. Its importance is no less than that of Shangdang County.

It stands to reason that Zhang Liao is a native of Yanmen County, knows the local area very well, and is the best candidate to serve as the Taishou of the Shangdang.

But after all, Zhang Liao has just surrendered, and if he is entrusted with this important task, it is difficult to ensure that the rest of the generals have no ideas in their hearts.

In addition to Zhang Liao, Gao Shun is also a good candidate to serve as the Taishou of Yanmen. But the trapped camp under his command is the trump card in Chen Xu's hands, and he can't leave easily.

After thinking about it, Chen Xu finally made Chen Hu the Taishou of Yanmen, and let Zhang Liao, Yang Feng, and Bai Rao assist.

Like Wang Yan, he led 10,000 elite soldiers to the north, and rectified the original soldiers and horses of the county.

Subsequently, Chen Xu appointed Cheng Yu as the Taiyuan Assassin, Chen Jing as the county leader, and Chen Qing as the long history, and let them lead 30,000 elite soldiers to sit in Jinyang.

And let them start to work on the people of Taihang Mountain and emigrate down the mountain.

Chen Xu himself, but with Tian Feng, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Tang Chen, Zhao Huang, and Jiang Wu. led 30,000 elite infantry, 10,000 elite cavalry, and 7,000 Hun cavalry to Xihe County.

After Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo defected to Chen Xu, Chen Xu discovered that Zhang Yang was different from the soy sauce man in his impression.

This person is brave and brave, and he is not under Chen Hu. And he is gentle and easy-going, affectionate and righteous, and has no ambitions.

This person may not be a good lord and cannot be a hegemon. But subdued him, this person is definitely a very good and capable subordinate.

In fact, Chen Xu didn't know the detailed deeds about Zhang Yang, otherwise he would have been impressed by Zhang Yang.

Historically, there were four generals under Ding Yuan's account, among which Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao were the most important to Ding Yuan. The positions of Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao are still above Lu Bu.

As for the fourth general, it is Gao Shun who is not reused.

After Gao Shun defected to Lu Bu, he was appointed under his account, but he was not appreciated by Ding Yuan.

These four people, Lu Bu bravely crowned the three armies, and the world is unmatched; Zhang Liaowei shocked Yaojin, and he is really a famous general in the world; Gao Shun commanded 700 camps, invincible, invincible.

From this, it can be inferred that the publicity that is deeply valued by Ding Yuan will definitely not be bad.

Ding was originally a martial artist, and in addition, he often dealt with the Hu people in the north. Therefore, Ding Yuan also attaches great importance to the martial arts of the people under his command.

And Zhang Yang, he is famous for his bravery and state, so he was recruited by Ding Yuan to engage in martial arts.

Later, Ding Yuan responded to Jian Shuo's appeal and sent Zhang Yang as Jian Shuo's subordinate, and was named a fake Sima by Jian Shuo. He Jin was in power and sent Zhang Yang to recruit more than 1,000 soldiers to crusade against the bandits in Shangdang.

Zhang Yang was able to be appreciated by Ding Yuan, Jian Shuo, and He Jin successively, and his talent can be seen.

After Jian Shuo died, He Jin and Ding Yuan were killed, Zhang Yang had thousands of soldiers and horses, and he didn't want to divide one side, but went to Yuan Shao, which shows that he has no ambition.

Because Zhang Yang's official position was much higher than Yuan Shao's, Yuan Shao was jealous, so he accepted Zhang Yang's subordinates and sent him to

Huvro as a hostage.

Later, Yuan Shao did not exchange his promise with Yu Fuluo. Yu Fuluo was angry and hijacked Zhang Yang, wanting to coerce Zhang Yang to rebel, but Zhang Yang resolutely refused.

Rao was like this, Yu Fuluo still did not kill Zhang Yang, but put him back.

The prestige of the Southern Xiongnu is extraordinary.

Zhang Yang, who escaped death, only then did he think of separating one side. He started from scratch again, occupied Hanoi, and became a prince.

But Zhang Yang has no ambitions, which dooms him to a tragic end.

It is impossible for his subordinates to follow a lord who has no future, so they all have two hearts.

Coupled with the importance of love and righteousness, even if Lu Bu's reputation is already insignificant.

When Cao Cao attacked Lü Bu, he still cared about the old relationship of being a minister in the same palace and wanted to send troops to rescue Lü Bu. Only then was he killed by his subordinate Yang Chou and dedicated his head to Cao Cao.

It can be said that the talented Zhang Yang lost his life because he had no ambitions.

Now, Zhang Yang defected to Chen Xu's account, but Chen Xu was a little embarrassed. Because, even Chen Xu himself is now only the position of General Zhengbei.

Zhang Yang was once named a fake Sikong, although he was Sikong's adjutant, he was also an auxiliary minister.

Compared with the official position of Zhang Yang, Chen Xu's general Zhengbei is not on the stage. It was only at this time that Chen Xu knew why Yuan Shao refused to use publicity.

The official position of his subordinates is higher than his own, and in any case, it is not a pleasant thing.

Fortunately, after experiencing Yuan Shao's neglect, Zhang Yang's mind has also become active.

After he saw Chen Xu, he knelt directly on the ground and said, "The official position of the fake Sikong is the seal of the captain of the military academy. Since the death of the captain of the military academy, this official position has become unworthy of the name. ”

"Now a certain is just a white body, if the lord does not give up, Yang is willing to lead the horse for the lord!"

Going to the military academy is a military captain, which refers to Jian Shuo.

Zhang Yang said this, just to abandon his previous official position and defect to Chen Xu's account innocently.

When Chen Xu heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, and he was named the general of Wumeng.

For Yu Fuluo, Chen Xu also had kind words to soothe. And assured him that as long as the Xiongnu did not rebel, the state would always support Yufu Luo as the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

Yu Fuluo naturally thanked him again and again and showed his loyalty.
