The so-called thing is only three, plus this time, Yao Gong has already come to Chen Nuo three times to move the rescuers.

In view of the previous two defeats, Yao Gong was out of the way this time.

not only took Zhu Ling as the envoy, but also offered rich conditions.

The condition is that as long as Chen Nuo sends troops to rescue him, Yao Gong guarantees that he will be on the table to Yuan Shao and appoint Chen Nuo as the captain of Qinghe.

The conditions are very pleasant, but Chen Nuo couldn't help but laugh after hearing it.

"Captain Qinghe?"

Chen Nuo glanced at Zhu Ling: "According to the story of our dynasty, the prime minister is responsible for the political affairs of a country, and the lieutenant is responsible for the use of thieves and soldiers. Originally, this lieutenant had already served in the county, and he was the minister of the country in the country, speaking of which, Yao Xiang had both the right to govern the army and manage the people, and he could be described as calling for wind and rain in a country of Qinghe, who did he still put in his eyes?

I'm afraid that today, except for General Yuan who can mobilize him, I'm afraid that even the Son of Heaven can't move him, let alone others? He has now handed over to me the power to govern the army of Qinghe, what does he mean by this? Does he want to be a shopkeeper? Hehe, if you want to go to troubled times now, what you pay attention to is the number of soldiers and horses, doesn't he understand this, or does he think that I Chen Nuo is easy to deceive? ”

When Zhu Ling heard this, he touched a handful of sweat, looked left and right, and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, general!" Let's be honest, Yao Xiang really doesn't want to give up the commander of this county to you, of course, he has no choice but to do so. ”

"Hehe, it's a last resort!"

Chen Nuo smiled: "Wenbo, tell me, why is he forced to do so?" ”

Zhu Ling smiled, weighed it, and said: "Don't hide it from the general, speaking of which, the current situation that I, Guangchuan, is facing is exactly the same as the situation you faced at the beginning, general, all of them were besieged by the Yellow Turban Army and fell into a situation of isolation and helplessness. The end result, however, was quite the opposite.

I think that the city of Guangchuan City was originally much taller than the city of Xiuxian, and when Yao Xiangchu arrived, it was repaired and rebuilt, how to say that it was more than twice as strong as Xiuxian; And in terms of troops, the men and horses in Yao Xiang's hands are more than several times that of the general!

But the result? General, you can defeat tens of thousands of yellow turbans with more victories and fewer battles, and then look at my Yao Xiang, I blindly responded to the battle, not knowing the way of battlefield changes, so that thousands of troops were defeated to less than 1,000 people today......"

Zhu Ling didn't continue to talk about this, looking like he was deflated.

Chen Nuo frowned and asked with a smile, "Won't it?" How did Hirokawa have less than a thousand troops? I heard that Yao Xiang only fought twice before and after, was the loss so heavy? Besides, Guangchuan City is not a small county, and there are more than 10,000 households in the city, even if the army is insufficient, can't he replenish it in time? ”

Zhu Ling said with a smile: "Although Yao Xiang only fought twice, he suffered heavy casualties each time. When he wanted to fight for the second time, he himself almost died on the battlefield, not to mention the soldiers and horses he took out for his palace. Most of them entered the city to protect Yao Xiang, and they were either killed in battle or became prisoners.

And Yao Xiang's war was unfavorable, and General Yuan refused to send troops to rescue him, so his temper became bigger and bigger, and he whipped the soldiers at every turn. Originally, the morale was low, and his fight was even more dissipated, and there were no deserters in the city now, and how many people were really willing to die for him?

As for temporary recruitment, even if he can recruit some, it is not powerful at all, plus he is unpopular, it has reached the point where everyone is disgusted, and the people of Guangchuan are eager for him to get out of here! But having said that, I have heard a lot of discussion from the people in the city these days, and when I heard about the deeds of the general and you borrowed grain to repay the grain when you were repairing the county, they all praised the general and said that it would be better if there were parents like the general and you who managed Guangchuan. ”

Zhu Ling said, winking at Chen Nuo.

Of course, Chen Nuo heard Zhu Ling's explicit words, he smiled and said: "Wenbo, you are joking, I think that since I took over Xiuxian, I have not been busy with the affairs of this small county alone, where can I have time to meddle in the affairs of Guangchuan?" I have received the wishes of the people of Guangchuan, as for the management of Guangchuan, it is a matter within Yao's jurisdiction. ”

Zhu Ling laughed: "The so-called capable people work hard, I look at the general's ambition, how can it be in a small county?" If you want me to say, even if it is awarded to the general a county governor or a national governor, it is not an exaggeration, as for the rest...... Hehe, that's for later. ”

When Chen Nuo heard this, he was a little surprised by Zhu Ling's eyes. Yes, how could he take a small county order or a county guard in his eyes?

But he didn't dare to be arrogant at this time, and he still played haha and said a few words modestly.

"No!"

Zhu Ling shook his head: "Judging from the current situation, presumably you should be clear if I don't say general." In the past few months, although the victory or defeat of the Yellow Turban War between Gongsun Chan and Qingzhou has not yet been decided, in fact, everyone knows that the Yellow Turban Army has gradually become exhausted, and they are afraid of a big defeat after all.

Once this Gongsun Chan defeats the Yellow Turban, and collects the Yellow Turban, his power will definitely be even stronger. Once he is well rested, he will definitely attack the Xiuxian county where you are first. There are two reasons, this time, Xiuxian County was originally the boundary of the Bohai Sea, and now the Bohai Taishou is Gongsun Fan, the cousin of Gongsun Zhan, and he will want to take it back; In these two ways, it is natural that Gongsun Zan wants to attack Yecheng, and he must use the Tao to repair the county, so it is imperative to repair the county!

And today's Xiuxian County, the city is originally very low, and after the previous Yellow Turban War, even if it is repaired, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a big effect, as a defense, it is a little worse. Although with the fighting spirit of the general, I don't doubt that the general will be afraid of Gongsun Xiao'er, but after all, the power of the general and Gongsun Chan is there, and the disparity is too great, and it may not be possible to take advantage of each other. In this way, the defense of the city is not good, and the strength is inferior, and it is difficult to say whether the victory or defeat will be said. So I advised the general that the general might as well abandon this city as soon as possible and do something else!

Having said that, although it may not be true that Yao Xiang asked you to be the commander of Qinghe, why don't you come and take this opportunity to settle the army in Guangchuan? I want the city of Hirokawa to be tall enough to defend against thieves. What's more, I think that now the general has more troops than Yao Xiang's troops, and you can take this opportunity to control Guangchuan, what do you say, general? ”

Chen Nuo was a little surprised, and couldn't help but glance at Zhu Ling.

What Zhu Ling said was exactly what he was thinking. In fact, at the beginning of the repulsion of the Yellow Turban, he stood on the dilapidated and low city wall of Xiuxian, and he was worried.

Although he defeated the Yellow Turban for a while, the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army is known to the world, and it cannot be compared with Gongsun Zhan, and his victory over the Yellow Turban does not necessarily lead to the defeat of Gongsun Zhan. What's more, Gongsun Chan has an elite Youzhou cavalry in his hands. Although he had defeated Gongsun Fan and Gongsun Yue's iron cavalry before this, it was all a surprise attack, and it was not true, and he had not yet fought the real Youzhou cavalry head-on.

It would be unwise to think that the dilapidated city of Xiu County and such a small number of troops in his own hands would be used to resist Gongsun Zhan's army. Xiuxian knew that he couldn't stay any longer, and the only thing that could give him a choice at the moment was Guangchuan.

Guangchuan, not only the city is strong, and there are many households, compared with Xiuxian to the geographical conditions are more superior, close to Yecheng, but also convenient to communicate with Yuan Shaojun, will not be as lonely as Xiuxian.

It's just that Guangchuan is Yao Gong's family after all, and if you want to enter this city, I'm afraid it may not be easy. Yao Gong sent him to Xiuxian, wasn't the purpose of asking him Chen Nuo to block the sword for him? Yao Gong, how could he easily let Chen Nuo return to Guangchuan? It was Chen Nuo who understood these reasons, and when Chen Nuo faced Xiuxian after the war, he was confused for a while.

However, just when Chen Nuo was at a loss for this matter, he saw Sun Qing, and a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind, and he found a breakthrough from Sun Qing.

Since Sun Qing is the little marshal on the Black Mountain side, and he is the special envoy who came from the Black Mountain side to greet the Yellow Turban Army and their Hebei Black Mountain Army, then Sun Qing naturally has a way to make the Yellow Turban Army obey him. Chen Nuo borrowed his connections and asked him to secretly instigate one of the Yellow Turban troops to attack Guangchuan on his behalf, so as to profit from the chaos.

Of course, he knew that except for Zhu Ling, who was still able to fight, the rest of the people in Guangchuan City were incompetent, and Yao Gong would not believe Zhu Ling, so he also knew that as long as these yellow scarves besieged Guangchuan, Guangchuan would inevitably be difficult to protect. And he naturally could guess that when Yecheng was undecided, Yuan Shaozhi would treat Yao Gong the same way he treated him at the beginning, in order not to move his whole body, he would not rush to rescue him. Yuan Shao can't save him, so the last person who can ask for it, of course, is only him Chen Nuo for a day.

It was precisely because Chen Nuo had this point that he deliberately refused to send troops repeatedly. He excused himself for prevarication, and what he really wanted was to maximize the benefits of the matter, so that his army could smoothly enter Guangchuan, or even control Guangchuan and override Yao Gong.

It's just that he didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly. It is not difficult to hear from Zhu Ling's words that Zhu Ling really wants him to take over Guangchuan. It seems that at the beginning, he did not hesitate to risk his life, and only sent two hundred horsemen to dare to attack Gongsun Fan and Yan Gang's Youzhou Iron Cavalry, in exchange for Zhu Ling's trust in him, which was quite worthwhile.

At least, if it weren't for Zhu Ling's intention for him, he wouldn't have easily revealed so much valuable information to him, let alone said these words so 'rebelliously'.

Chen Nuo heard Zhu Ling say this, although he was happy in his heart, he still said reservedly: "This is not good, after all, he is the minister of Qinghe, and I will seize his power?" Even if it succeeds, it may not be able to get General Yuan's approval, and it is difficult to catch the fox and cause a commotion. ”

Zhu Ling shook his head and said with a smile: "Doesn't the general know that this Yao Xiang was originally appointed by the envoy of the old Han Dynasty?" General Yuan had just taken over Jizhou, but he didn't have time to remove him. Originally, as long as Yao Xiang did a good job, General Yuan had nothing to say, but Yao Xiang has always been unruly and does not take others in his eyes, let alone the old envoy of Han, I heard that even General Yuan refused to sell face.

Let's just talk about this relocation, General Yuan ordered it, Yao Xiang was reluctant in every way, if it wasn't for General Yuan's use of some coercion, how could he easily comply? Speaking of which, General Yuan is more jealous of this Yao Xiang than the general, right? I think that if the general you settle this old stubbornness for General Yuan, General Yuan not only does not blame the general, but I am afraid that it will be too late to thank the general. Maybe this thing will be done, let alone this little captain, I'm afraid that this Qinghe Prime Minister is a general, and you may not be sure. ”

Listening to what Zhu Ling said here, it is not impossible. As long as he uses a trick to settle Yao Xiang for Yuan Shao, maybe Yuan Shao will not only not be angry, but will be grateful to him. But with Chen Nuo's understanding of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao is at most grateful in this matter, and as for appointing his so-called state minister, I am afraid that it is impossible.

Of course, Chen Nuo didn't have to tell Zhu Ling about this, he just smiled lightly, reached out and patted Zhu Ling on the shoulder, and said, "Wenbo, I am really happy that you can talk to me about this today!" Today, I say that if I am rich and noble in the future, I will never forget you! ”

Zhu Ling smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "With the general's words, the last general has the courage to say another word!" ”

Zhu Ling is now a military attache at the same level as Chen Nuo, and at this time, he actually calls himself the 'last general', as if he is a subordinate, which is really modest enough.

Chen Nuo had already heard it, and he was very happy in his heart, and he still said softly on his face: "Please speak!" ”

"The so-called saving the people is like hanging upside down, if the general can send troops as soon as possible, not to say that Yao Xiang has nothing to say, even the people in the city will regard the general as a reborn parent. If you can win the hearts of the people in the city, why can't you do great things? ”

When Zhu Ling finished speaking, Chen Nuo couldn't help but nod when he heard it.

Chen Nuo thought for a while and said, "The siege of Guangchuan must be saved, but what about repairing the county?" I, the parent official of Xiuxian County, can't abandon the people, right? ”

Zhu Ling said: "To say something offended, now that the Yellow Turban has retreated, Xiuxian is Da'an, and the general doesn't have to care about the gains and losses of a city." What's more, if the general continues to keep men and horses to guard Xiuxian, he is afraid that he will attract the jealousy of Gongsun Zhan and will also incur murder. If no one is left, Gongsun Chan will not be able to pursue it, and the county will be repaired. ”

Chen Nuo smiled and nodded: "Wonderful, wonderful!" Wenbo's idea coincides with mine. Well, for the sake of life, it seems that I have to give up this Xiuxian for the time being. ”

Since Chen Nuo has already made a decision, he is ready to send troops on a later date.

It's just that although Chen Nuo has already learned about Guangchuan's situation from Zhu Ling's mouth, this matter is very important after all, and it must be handled carefully. After he discussed it in detail with Zhao Xue and the others, just in case, Chen Nuo did not take all the people out this time, but left Zhao Xue and asked her to continue to guard Xiuxian. And said that when the situation on the Guangchuan side is stable, he will deal with the affairs of Xiuxian.

Chen Nuo sent troops here, and he arrived in Guangchuan in less than two days.

Outside Guangchuan City, just like Xiuxian County at the beginning, it was full of people.

However, compared to the original Xiu County, the arrogance of the Yellow Turban Army was much more arrogant than at that time, and when Chen Nuo came, they were still calling for war outside the city. It's a pity that although Yao Gongniu has a big temper, he has no soldiers and horses to use, and the poor ones still have to guard the city, which can no longer be used to deal with the battle.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the victories in the past few days that the arrogance of the Yellow Turban Army has already been fueled, making them lawless and not taking the officers and soldiers seriously at all.

Chen Nuo first arrived, no matter what, this first battle still has to be done.

Although he didn't recognize these yellow scarves under his gun, these people were invited by Sun Qing to help him, although they themselves may not know, but they can't help but give Sun Qing face. Chen Nuo led the men and horses to rush up from behind, originally wanting to give the other party a surprise attack, so that he could enter the city early, and then find a way to contact Sun Qing outside the city to discuss the next matter.

But how did he know that this group of yellow turbans fought several battles in a row, and their morale also came up, and suddenly met Chen Nuo's foreign aid, although they were scattered by Chen Nuo's men and horses in a moment, but after all, they were numerous, and they were beaten in front, and the battalions behind also dispatched men and horses, shouting and screaming and rushing up.

Chen Nuo fought all the way and finally arrived under the suspension bridge. Zhu Ling was behind Chen Nuo, and he also shouted, let the upper part pull the suspension bridge to open the city gate. The soldier guarding the city was Zhu Ling's henchman, and when he saw Zhu Ling, he was about to pull the drawbridge, but at this time, Yao Gong had already landed in the city and stopped in time.

He waved his sleeves and scolded those soldiers: "Don't you see that the yellow scarves are about to be killed under the bridge, and it is so damning to put down the suspension bridge at this time!" The soldier's face turned pale with fright.

Yao Gong glanced down again, and knew that it was Chen Nuo who arrived, but he didn't answer, and only deliberately said to Zhu Ling, "Trouble the general to kill the yellow turban first, so that I can let the general and others enter the city!" ”

Countless yellow scarves buzzed like flies in the back, and Zhu Ling turned around to take a look, and wanted to argue with Yao Gong, but Yao Gong stroked his beard with his hands, just watched the battlefield carefully, and deliberately didn't look at them.

Chen Nuo didn't pay much attention to it, it seems that Yao Gong wants to see his ability, so that he can know him!

Chen Nuo immediately shook his spear, and ordered Pan Zhang to disperse the cavalry, attack the enemy's periphery, and then order Dian Wei to block the front with a big sword and the archers behind. The assignment was in place, and the Yellow Turban Army had already poured in densely. Chen Nuo's spear was a little, the bow and arrow shot for a while, and then the sword soldiers rushed to kill, and Chen Nuo raised the spear in his hand, and also rushed into the heart of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhu Ling, who was behind him, saw that Chen Nuo not only knew how to strategize, but also made a good marksmanship, so he couldn't help but shout good, and rushed forward.

Under the city of Guangchuan, the shouting and killing sound was earth-shattering, even if Yao Gong saw it from a distance at the head of the city, he couldn't help but secretly wipe his sweat, and he thought that Chen Nuo's house was really not simple. He originally wanted to use Chen Nuo's hand to retreat the enemy for him, but at this moment, when he saw Chen Nuo on the battlefield and his subordinates fighting hard, he suddenly felt a deep fear.

He suddenly realized that it was right or wrong for him to ask Chen Nuo to retreat for him? Didn't he do this to lure the tiger and drive away the wolf?

After several rounds of fighting, there was a sudden chaos in the Yellow Turban Army's formation, and they were defeated one after another.

"Good!"

As soon as Yao Gong shouted hello, he saw a bloody evil man under the city shouting at him: "The thieves have been repulsed, the minister of the country will quickly open the city to greet him, and when will he wait!" ”

It was Dian Wei who spoke, he stepped forward with Chen Nuo, and there were Zhu Ling, Pan Zhang, etc. behind him, Yao Gong saw it, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, and even called to pull the suspension bridge, open the city gate, and welcome Chen Nuo!
