In the first month of the spring of the third year of Chuping, Gongsun Chan broke the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in Dongguang, and obtained countless grains and grasses, which shocked the momentum.

Millions of yellow turbans in Qingzhou, the dead and wounded, the wounded, the escaped, the scattered and descended, collapsed in an instant.

The defeat of the Yellow Turbans in the Dongguang area also affected the other Yellow Turbans. When they heard the news, they were horrified and left without a fight, especially the ones outside Guangchuan City.

This batch of yellow scarves was originally borrowed by Chen Nuo to deal with Yao Gong, but now that his goal has been achieved, and he has successfully controlled the four gates of Guangchuan, this batch of yellow scarves has naturally lost its effect. Chen Nuo was still racking his brains to think about how to send them away, which was good, when the news came from Dongguang, tens of thousands of yellow scarves outside the city were horrified, and they were scared away overnight, and even Sun Qing couldn't stop them.

Anyway, Zhang Yan, the marshal of Montenegro, had also gotten the news that Yan Gongsun Zhan had won a big victory, knowing that these yellow turbans had become frightened birds, and they had no combat power and no use value, so they had plans to give up. So, he sent people to inform Sun Qing to go back and no longer have to worry about the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.

Sun Qing also took the opportunity to get out and returned to Montenegro.

But he didn't want to leave without leaving, and before leaving, he sent someone to send a letter to Chen Nuo and explained the reason to him.

Once this Gongsun Zhan defeated the Yellow Turban, it would be tantamount to dropping a bombshell on the already unstable Jizhou, not only the counties and counties were shocked, but even Yuan Shao was terrified.

When Yuan Shao heard the news, he immediately convened all the civil and military forces to discuss the matter of sending troops.

Fortunately, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban blocked it, so that Yuan Shao had enough time to gather soldiers and horses from all departments and hoard a large amount of grain and grass for the next big war.

Although he was already mentally prepared, Yuan Shao still didn't dare to fight easily. Even at this critical juncture, what he hopes for is to be able to slow down, and he doesn't want to have a hard time with Gongsun Chan right away.

Not to mention Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others, but generals such as Lu Yi, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Zhang He, etc., who have been waiting for a long time, have long wanted to go to the front line to fight with Gongsun Zhan, but Yuan Shao has been pressing them and not letting them go, so he has helplessly waited until today. Seeing that Gongsun Chan has already defeated the Yellow Turban, if he doesn't fight, do you have to wait for him to come to the gate of his house? They all asked for war.

Of course, Yuan Shao didn't want to see Gongsun Zan burn the flames of war under Yecheng, which he had already planned, but the reason why he was not in a hurry to send troops was still selfish.

He originally moved the Qinghe State Administration from Ganling to Guangchuan, and then sent Chen Nuo to assist in the defense, although nominally to resist Gongsun Zhan's troops, in fact, it was to better deter the counties and counties, and strictly prevent them from taking the opportunity to fall to Gongsun Zhan. This purpose was achieved, and Chen Nuo should have been called back after Gongsun Zhan's victory over the Yellow Turban, but because Chen Nuoxiu County broke tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans in the first battle, Yuan Shao had greater hopes for Chen Nuo.

Since Chen Nuo was able to block tens of thousands of yellow scarves with a small Xiu County, could he use it to contain Gongsun Zhan?

Once Yuan Shao's idea sprouted, it was out of control.

It's just that if he says it directly, I'm afraid that all the generals will complain. Moreover, not only the generals, but even the ministers were all invited to fight one by one, and he was not good at disobeying them. Yuan Shao had no choice but to issue an order to make Zhu Wenwu ready to send troops at any time.

As for the date of dispatching troops, it has not been clarified for the time being, and it seems that today is delayed tomorrow, and it seems that there is no time for it to be dispatched.

Yuan Shao's side is consuming, and Chen Nuo's side can't wait for a moment.

Ever since the Yellow Turban had withdrawn from him, Chen Nuo also immediately realized that Gongsun Chan might send troops west to attack his Guangchuan at any time. At this time, he retired from writing to Yuan Shao, hoping that Yuan Shao would launch a large army to support as soon as possible; On the one hand, he wrote a letter to Zhao Xue, asking Zhao Xue to move the people of Xiuxian County to Guangchuan as soon as possible, and it was best to have no one left.

Let him divide his troops into two places to prepare for the battle of Gongsun Zhan, it is self-inflicted, and if all the people and horses in Xiu County can be withdrawn before Gongsun Chan comes, not only will there be no need to disperse the troops, but it will also be a good thing for the people in the city.

If a city without any troops is left for Gongsun Zhan, there is no threat, and Gongsun Chan naturally doesn't care. And if Xiuxian County is left to garrison, not only can it not keep Xiuxian, but it is afraid that it will cause a catastrophe, so all the troops in Xiuxian County will be withdrawn, which is the most critical thing and a good thing for the people.

I thought that this withdrawal would go smoothly, but in the end, the actions of the people of Xiuxian County were beyond Chen Nuo's expectations, and they couldn't understand Chen Nuo's distress for a while.

Because of Chen Nuo's love for the people, the people in the city heard that their parents were going to withdraw from the city and abandon them, and they stopped doing it. Those who didn't understand even stopped Zhao Xue's team and didn't let them go. After spending a day like this, Zhao Xue couldn't say anything about them, so she had to report the news to Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo was also very surprised, so he had to leave Zhu Ling, Pan Zhang and others to guard Guangchuan City, and he took Dian Wei back to Xiu County. It's okay if Chen Nuo doesn't go back, but once he goes back, he will be immediately surrounded by the people of Xiu County, and he won't let Chen Nuo go. They said that even if they were to leave, they would have to take them with them.

For this matter, Chen Nuo is happy and worried.

Happily, he has won the hearts of the people of Xiu County. As a parent official, it is really comforting to be able to win the love of the people under his rule in a short period of time.

But there are several points of concern.

This first point, if he let the people of the city follow him to Guangchuan, although it will increase the population and labor force in Guangchuan City, but at the same time, it will also increase the consumption of food rations.

This second point, even if they are willing to follow, it may not be everyone's willing. And then half of them will go with him, and the other half will have to stay in the city. Those who followed him could still save their lives, but those who didn't leave were only afraid that as soon as Gongsun Zhan's army arrived, because half of the people who had left, they were afraid that they would be angry and blame the rest of the people, right? Isn't that too unfair for the rest of the people?

The third and most important point is something that must not be easily reached.

He can fight, which shows that there is still something to be used, like Yuan Shao's character, maybe he can still keep him. And if he can not only fight but also buy people's hearts, then it is not something that a person like Yuan Shao can tolerate, and he must want to get rid of him quickly.

Therefore, no matter what, he Chen Nuo would never be able to touch Yuan Shao's brow.

Since he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth, stopped talking to them, and let the army force the way.

What those people were afraid of was that they were the officers and soldiers, and they had no choice but to give way one after another.

But they also knew that Chen Nuo was not the kind of corrupt official who oppressed the people, and he didn't take this matter to heart, but there were those who were bold enough to come forward and let Chen Nuo bring all the volunteers recruited in the city at the beginning, so that they could be regarded as letting them follow Chen Nuo for the people of Xiu County.

There are quite a few people in this group, as many as six or seven hundred, hearing them say this, Chen Nuo is also very moved, and it is not good to make excuses again, so he accepted them together.

He asked Zhao Xue to take out the big seal of the county order of Xiu County, handed it to several of the older people, and said to them: "When Gongsun Chan comes, you can return this seal to him later, and you can guarantee the lives of the people of the county!" Remember! ”

Chen Nuo said, turned over on the horse, grabbed the horse's belly, roared, and took Zhao Xue and the others to leave Xiuxian County and run back to Guangchuan.

The day after Chen Nuo went, Gongsun Zhan's vanguard was about to arrive.

This pioneer officer is none other than Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Zhan's cousin.

On that day, Gongsun Fan was defeated by Chen Nuo in Guangchuan, and he was still not angry, so when Gongsun Chan finished packing up the yellow scarf and raised the army again, he immediately asked Gongsun Chan for this vanguard officer, in order to get a breath of bird anger at the beginning.

It's just that when he led the troops all the way, he heard that Chen Nuo had withdrawn before he arrived in Xiuxian, but he was in vain.

Gongsun Fan was furious, and immediately transferred the fire on Chen Nuo's body to the people of Xiuxian, and before he arrived in Xiuxian, he ordered the soldiers to threaten that when he repaired the county, it would be the time when the people of Xiuxian were destroyed.

His order was tantamount to a thunderbolt, and when the people of Xiuxian County heard it, they were all terrified, and some of the cowardly people fled from the city overnight. But after all, there are many people who have backbone, since they have served the people under Chen Nuo and have been favored by Chen Nuo, they have always thought of Chen Nuo's goodness, and they must not forget it. Now seeing that General Chen was about to bully the thieves as soon as he left, they were also full of anger, and a group of young people actually made a bold decision after a little discussion; Without waiting for Gongsun Fan's army to arrive, he immediately closed the four cities of Xiuxian County, preparing to defend his hometown desperately.

Although their actions were reckless, they also frightened the older generation, but when they thought of the thieves' wild words, they were finally angry, and few came out to stop them. Even the famous old men among them encouraged the inhabitants of the city, whether they were young and strong, old or weak, women and children, to take turns guarding the city and resolutely resisting the invading enemy.

It is also their 'newborn calf is not afraid of tigers', I don't know the strength of Gongsun Fan's army, but they actually have a good look, not only organize labor to carry stones and wood as defensive things, but also take out the farm tools at home as weapons, as for bows and arrows and the like are also decent production, but they are relatively rough, most of them are cut down and thinned as javelins.

After less than half a day of preparation, Gongsun Fan's army was already overwhelmed.

What Gongsun Fan didn't expect was that Chen Nuo was gone, and this group of Diao people didn't measure their own strength, and they dared to defend the city, wouldn't they be looking for death! Gongsun Fan was furious, and there was nothing to say, so he immediately led the army to storm it.

I thought that this group of people was sheep, but now he drove the 'tiger' here, and he can go down in an instant. But how did he know, in the end, he still miscalculated, and actually attacked for an afternoon without attacking the city!

He has his own pride, but the people of Xiuxian County also have the pride of the people of Xiuxian. After all, Renxiu County had been attacked by tens of thousands of yellow turbans before this, and in the end, it was not defeated in the hands of their parents? Although their parents are not there now, but the prestige of Xiuxian County is still there, and they also rely on this belief that they are not afraid of death and continue to fight with Gongsun Fan.

Gongsun Fan couldn't win the first battle, and he was sleepy and lacking horses, so he had no choice but to temporarily collect troops and station his soldiers and horses far away from Xiuxian.

After this battle, although Xiuxian temporarily guarded the city, in the end the loss was not small, the number of casualties amounted to thousands, and the joy of victory was accompanied by crying.

The city suffered heavy losses, and the besieging side outside the city did not bargain, and they also left corpses everywhere and withdrew.

Gongsun Fan paced back and forth in the big tent, what he didn't expect was that this group of Diao people in Xiuxian County was really a difficult bone to gnaw, and now they didn't gnaw and broke their steel teeth, which was really not cost-effective. If he is given another day, he may be able to attack, but Ming'er and his eldest brother Gongsun Zan will lead the army here, and when the time comes, let his eldest brother know that he can't even settle a small Xiuxian County, I'm afraid that it will make the eldest brother angry.

But although he has the heart to fight again, the soldiers are no longer available. Whether it is the soldiers in his hands or the soldiers in the hands of his eldest brother, they have just gone through the battle of Dongguang and rushed over before they have time to rest, and they have already lost a lot. Not to mention these, coupled with the continuous march, it was already exhausted, and coupled with the miscalculation of the siege during the day, the morale could not help but be affected slightly, and it can no longer be used.

But Gongsun Fan didn't think so, since this group of Diao people didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and dared to resist his army, then they had to give them some strength to take a look. So, that same night, Gongsun Fan organized another raid. Gongsun Fan thought that these peasants were as stupid as the Yellow Turban Army, and when they arrived, there would definitely not be many people defending the city, so they could take the opportunity to give them an unprepared attack.

It's just that how did he know that not only did he not get a cheap attack this time, but he lost a lot of men and horses.

The people of Xiuxian County may have been inspired by Chen Nuo's sneak attack on the Yellow Turban Army in the middle of the night, and they did not relax at this critical moment, and they did not go back in the middle of the night, but actually stayed at the head of the city and took turns to defend the city in batches. And once the army of Gongsun Fan arrived, they would not seem so hasty.

However, Gongsun Fan couldn't succeed in the sneak attack, and he knew that he couldn't hold it for a long time, so he had to lead the army back. When Gongsun Zhan's army came the next day, Gongsun Fan could only confess his guilt to Gongsun Chan in person. That Gongsun Zan is bent on dealing with Yuan Shao, and he just wants to fight Yuan Shao and Yecheng as soon as possible, where does he have time to pay attention to a small Xiu County?

When he heard Gongsun Fan say this, he was also impatient, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Why, didn't I hear that Xiuxian is an empty city, and now that there are no guards, how can they still dare to resist Wang Shi?" Hmph, I think it's your kid who is troublesome again, right? Did they release some before the war, which frightened this group of honest people, so they had to close the door? Yes and no? ”

"This ...... This ......"

That Gongsun Fan still wanted to quibble, but Gongsun Chan was too lazy to be verbose, and directly led the people to Xiuxian County. He asked the people to ask the people why, and then they knew that this was really the case.

When Gongsun Chan heard this, he glared at Gongsun Fan on horseback, and Gongsun Fan lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word more.

However, Gongsun Zhan's mind turned quickly, he slapped his horse forward, raised his head and comforted the people in the city with good words, and said: "Listen to the people in the city, this general waved his troops to come to fight for the traitor Yuan Shao for the Son of Heaven, and it has nothing to do with you. Today's incident must have been a misunderstanding, so General Ben also decided not to pursue it. As long as you open the city as soon as possible, I will protect your life. ”

Gongsun Zhan's voice was already loud, and as soon as he said this, it reached everyone's ears, and it really played a role.

They have nothing to do, who will provoke any officials and soldiers, but it is Gongsun Fan's words that are too rampant, which causes them to panic. In order to save their lives, they could not sit still and wait for death, so they had to take risks and close their doors to resist the army of Gongsun Fan. Now, since their lord Gongsun Zhan has said that Kaicheng is not guilty, they are happy to be peaceful people.

Once someone loosens here, everyone's hearts will not be aligned, and there are still some cautious people who want to ignore it, but everyone has no will to fight, so they give up. After a little discussion, the old men put down their weapons, slowly opened the city gates, and went out of the city to meet them.

That Gongsun Fan was hidden behind Gongsun Zhan, watching the city gate slowly open, and his ugly face was finally revealed.

He took a step forward and secretly said to Gongsun Zhan: "General, do you want to ......?"

He smiled and lifted the spear in his hand.

Gongsun Chan didn't pay attention to him at all, and he didn't hear it, his eyes fell on those people, and he waited until the group of people came out almost before he took two steps forward. He always looked at his head proudly, and coldly glanced at the Xiuxian city wall again, as well as the group of people under the city wall.

A snort suddenly came out of his nose, and his voice was extremely cold.

The group of people held a white flag in their hands, but they never dared to raise their heads, they all followed closely behind, and when they got under the Gongsun Chan horse, they didn't dare to breathe and knelt down under the Gongsun Chan horse. They were already timid, but when they suddenly heard this hum, they were even more frightened, and they wiped sweat on their foreheads.

Gongsun Zhan's snort not only made the people tremble, but even the generals behind him were slightly stunned when they heard it. But they immediately heard the chilling killing aura from this cold snort. When Gongsun Fan heard this, his blood was even more boiling, and he checked the spear in his hand, and his hand was itchy.

In this way, there was a stalemate, but fortunately, one of the three elders who led the way, one of them suddenly raised his hand high and said to Gongsun Zhan: "This is the big seal of the county order of Xiu County, and now the thing is returned to the original owner, and I hope the general will accept it!" ”

The murderous aura in Gongsun Zhan's eyes suddenly spread, he picked up the big seal gun, took it and looked at it, and smiled: "Chen Nuo, his kid is really interesting, he doesn't want anything that is not his, okay!" Originally, the general and I planned to wipe out you stubbornness in one fell swoop, but now that you have dedicated the county order seal, I don't think there is any need, so I will spare you from death! ”

Gongsun Zhan took the big seal and rewarded him to a person next to him, he didn't want to delay in Xiuxian, so he immediately let Gongsun Fan go ahead and continue to march towards Guangchuan.
