Looking at the familiar fields and landscapes of Chen Liu, Bian Xi, who was sitting on horseback, took a deep breath and muttered: "I, Bian Xi, are finally back." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This time, I want to let those bastards in Chen Liucheng know the fate of offending me Bian Xi! ”

Behind him, Du Yuan rode his horse to Bian Xi's side: "Qu Shuai, the nearest county town should be in the southwest direction." ”

Bian Xi raised his whip and pointed ahead and laughed: "Ben Shuai has been in Chen Liudai longer than you, so he naturally knows the road around here." But what Ben Shuai wants to do most now is not to loot a small county town, Ben Shuai wants to go to Chen Liucheng, so taking this direction is the closest way. ”

Du Yuan frowned: "With all due respect, the brothers haven't eaten enough for two or three days since they left Dongjun, so the most important thing should be to build a county town and grab all the food from the wealthy families there." And, of course, their women are going to be robbed as well. ”

"Hmph, Du Yuan, Du Yuan, it's not Ben Shuai who counts you. You can be regarded as the number one general under my Bian Xi, why are you still so petty. Do you want to grab food? Do you want to play with women? As long as you break Chen Liucheng, this handsome can satisfy all your wishes. Although Bian Xi had accepted Du Yuan as his subordinate, he still looked down on the rude and reckless Du Yuan from the bottom of his heart.

Du Yuan was more or less aware of Bian Xi's disdain, but he didn't care about these: "Qu Shuai, I, Du Yuan, have also been to Chenliucheng, although Chenliucheng is prosperous, but the city is deep and easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is by no means comparable to a small place like Dong'e County." Maybe commanding troops is not my Du Yuan's strength, but I, Du Yuan, know that if I want to maintain the momentum in the army, I must at least ensure that I am well fed and sleep well. But now that it is rainy in early spring, how many miles have the brothers walked with Qu Shuai? Seeing that the food is getting scarcer and smaller, and he has to march long distances in the cold rain every day, there are more and more criticisms of Qu Shuai in the army. ”

Bian Xi's face turned cold: "Although the commander doesn't like to use military law to restrain soldiers, it doesn't mean that the commander won't use military law." How much energy did we spend before, and how many brothers did we sacrifice to encircle and annihilate the dog official in Dong'a? Chen Liucheng itself has more than 4,000 county soldiers, most of which are lost in Dong'e, and at this time, Chen Liucheng is guarded by more than 1,000 county soldiers at most. Before the Luoyang Imperial Court sent reinforcements to Chen Liu, Chen Liucheng was the most empty time. At this time, if you don't go to take Chen Liucheng in one go, but waste your time in the surrounding small county town where there is no oil and water in the west, isn't it because the small loss outweighs the loss? ”

"But ......."

"Enough!! The commander has made up his mind, and the commander will order the army to speed up the pace and strive to arrive at Chen Liucheng before tomorrow's sunset. Ben Shuai promised that as long as everyone captures Chen Liu, everyone will share this wealth! Bian Xi, who was still in a good mood, was angered by Du Yuan's repeated persuasions, and with a wave of his hand, he issued an order for the whole army to speed up the march.

Bian Xi didn't want to listen to Du Yuan's ramblings, so he sandwiched his legs and left Du Yuan behind. The wet mud raised by the war horse splashed on Du Yuan's battle armor, Du Yuan gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to catch up and stab Bian Xi to death, scraped off the black soil with the war knife, and scolded in a low voice: "Before the war, I refused to listen to the persuasion of others and insisted on going my own way, I was greedy for life and afraid of death during the war and refused to lead the soldiers to charge into battle, and after the war, I was not considerate of my subordinates and loved the soldiers." Except for the useless waste in the name of a great sage and good teacher's disciple, how can it be worth serving wholeheartedly? Hmph, sooner or later, Lao Tzu will replace you! ”

Hearing that the march was going to continue, most of the Yellow Turban soldiers were full of resentment. But Bian Xi has now issued a military order again, and let the Yellow Turban Lux on a war horse be in charge of supervising the army. As soon as some of them were slow or wanted to leave the army secretly, and the light ones were whipped and the heavy ones were beheaded, everyone became afraid, so they had to drag their tired bodies against the cold spring rain and continue to hurry.

Although he was eager to attack the prosperous city of Chenliu, Bian Xi did not forget the teachings of his master Zhang Jiao, and when he was marching, scouts were widely distributed to prevent the officers and soldiers from using the terrain to ambush. But Bian Xi's prudence did not gain much, Chen Liushi was the hinterland of the Central Plains had already built the Chi Road, and the terrain around the Chi Road was open, and it was almost impossible for any enemy army to set up an ambush circle without being detected.

Dozens of scouts of the Yellow Turban Army worked hard for a day, but at most they only saw some civilians fleeing from the wind, and they did not find the figure of Chen Liujun's soldiers at all.

Zhang Jiao, who had hundreds of thousands of sect members, thought that his Yellow Turban Army, with its numerical superiority, should have a few chances of winning against the official army on a frontal battlefield. But if a war is always just a competition of people to divide the winners and losers, maybe the world has already changed.

Soldiers, treacherous ways. The imperial court has mastered the world's scholars for its use, and there are countless wise and resourceful people. Most of his disciples were from poor people and had never read much, let alone any of them had outstanding wisdom and talent, so even if Zhang Jiao talked to them at length about the essentials of the art of war, it was useless. In order not to let his hard work be easily destroyed, Zhang Jiao can only tell them the points that the generals need to remember the most, as for how much these people can remember or how much they can use, it is not something that Zhang Jiao can control.

On the afternoon of the second day, when the huge city wall of Chen Liucheng was already in sight, Bian Xi, who had been worried about an accident, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that it was getting late today, and the officers and men in the army were indeed exhausted, Bian Xi dispelled the idea of attacking Chen Liu.

"The commander ordered the whole army to camp on the spot and bury the pot to cook. Send scouts to keep an eye on the four gates of Chen Liucheng, we have to recharge our energy tonight, and we can't give those guys in the city a chance to sneak attack us. Although Bian Xi is not a famous general, he keeps in mind Zhang Jiao's teachings, every time Lin Mo enters, marches to prevent ambushes, chases poor Kou Mo, sends more scouts, and beware of night attacks.

The forced march for several days had exhausted the Yellow Turban Army. Now that they have finally arrived in Chen Liucheng, everyone is worried that Qu Shuai will let everyone attack the city directly and pave a bloody road with their lives. After Qu Shuai Bian Xi gave the order to camp on the spot, they all cheered and celebrated, most of them were thinking that at least they could live one more day, as for who could survive and who would die tomorrow, it would be left to Huang Tian to choose.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Bian Xi received the news from the scouts that there were about 2,000 defenders on the four walls of Chen Liucheng, although they were on guard against Bian Xi's army, they did not look like they were going out of the city to fight.

"Of course they don't dare to go out of the city, at least half of the more than 2,000 people are private soldiers from those powerful families, how many real county soldiers can there be? Fan Xiang and more than 3,000 county soldiers died in the hands of Ben Shuai, where did they still have the courage to go out of the city to fight. But in order to prevent these people from dying and struggling, you people will give me a good look at the four gates tonight, and return as soon as there is any trouble. Tomorrow, when the army of Ben Shuai recovers its strength, Chen Liucheng will be broken in a matter of seconds. ”

Knowing the number of defenders in Chen Liucheng, Bian Xi, who was originally worried that the imperial court rescue army had arrived, really let go of the big stone in his heart. After the scout gave up, Bian Xi got up and twisted his stiff waist, it was very uncomfortable to march for many days even on horseback, but in Bian Xi's opinion, it was all worth it, he could have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow he commanded the army to break Chen Liucheng, he had to indulge it.

But will Bian Xi's plan really go so well?
