In the seventh year of Guanghe in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, and eight states rose together, among which the most ferocious Cheng Xiang Cheng Yuanzhi Department in the north of Youzhou, Zhang Jiao Headquarters in the south of Youzhou and Jizhou region, Zhang Fan Zhang Mancheng Department in Nanyang, Peng Tuo Department in Runan, Buji Department in Yanzhou, and Yingchuan Bocai Department in the most fierce trouble. Among them, Emperor Ling issued an edict to behead the three brothers of Zhang Jiao, and he was made a marquis; Those who cut Cheng Xiang, Zhang Fan, Peng Tuo, Bu Ji, and Bo Cai will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, and they will be guarded, each with their heads as evidence. Change the light and year to the middle of the year, is the year of the first year of the middle level.

At this time, Chen Lin led 2,000 people to travel at night, hide in the dense forest for 100 days, and secretly go to Xihua County. Careful along the way, so it is not fast to move, and try to avoid the patrols and scouts of the Yellow Turban Thieves as much as possible. After getting the news of the defeat of Zhao Qian and Yuan Shu that day, Huang Yan offered Chen Lin a plan and said that at this time, the Yellow Turban Thieves would definitely not have imagined that the Runan official army would dare to take the initiative to make a plan, and suggested that Chen Lin secretly attack Xihua County, the base camp of the Yellow Turban Thieves, just like when Huang Shao attacked Runan City at night. It just so happened that at this time, the Yellow Turban Thief had just defeated Zhao Qian and destroyed the main force of thousands of Runan official troops. As long as Shangcai is defeated, and then Pingxing is captured, Runan can be regarded as basically belonging to the Yellow Turban.

Chen Lin and his entourage sneaked into the territory of Xihua, and originally decided to let Chen Guo pretend to surrender to the enemy when they were in Runan City, but it was useless, and now the battle of Xihua is just in time. The reason why Chen Lin was confident in this plan was because Chen Guo once said that the Yellow Turban Thief had recruited more than three knives on Savage Ridge at that time. This time, Chen Lin let the Yellow Turban get his wish, presumably Huang Shao and other major Yellow Turban generals are not in Xihua, and they will not see through Chen's refuge.

Chen Guo took 300 people, most of them from the old department, and walked to the Xihua City Gate in broad daylight, showing the style of being a strong man back then, and walked over with a smile full of foul language. The Xihua defenders saw Chen Guo and his gang from afar, and hurriedly warned them, and the guards ran up to the city wall to take a look, and saw that it looked like this, it didn't look like they were going to attack the city, and it wasn't the dress of the officers and soldiers, and it wasn't the dress of their own army, but like a group of bandits.

Chen came over and walked away from an arrow, stopped and shouted: "Ye Nai is the master of the savage ridge who has passed three swords and came out to answer." When the guard heard this, he was shocked, and his feelings were that this was the three knives of the Savage Ridge, and Peng Shuai mentioned it several times, saying that hundreds of heroes on the Savage Ridge were all brave and brave. The guard said in his heart, it is really extraordinary, but now that Xihua City speaks, even if he is in a high position, he doesn't know what to do. But he couldn't help but say quietly: "Peng Shuai and the others have gone to kill the officers and soldiers, Xihua City is in charge of a certain now, and a certain is Liu Sheng." ”

Chen Guo was overjoyed when he heard that Xihua's biggest thief was this person in the city, and pretended to be dissatisfied: "What? After a certain three knives, I saw that you were waiting for this even Taiping sect to be vigorous now, and they came from hundreds of miles to get alike, so why didn't they just let someone talk to you with his neck tilted? Do you know that Peng Shuai, who you waited, was polite to someone when he went to Savage Ridge. ”

Liu Sheng did know that Peng Tuo had personally been to Savage Ridge once, and the words of praise were what he said after he came back that time, Liu Sheng saw that Chen Guo was a little angry, afraid of offending the three knives, if he let Peng Shuai know in the future, he would be finished, but he didn't know whether to let the three knives enter the city, Liu Sheng didn't know what to do with a bitter face. The cronies beside him said to Liu Sheng: "General, there are only 300 people, why don't you let them be stationed outside the city, it's a big deal to send some brothers to send them some wine and meat, and stay good first." Liu Sheng heard the reason, and shouted to Chen Guo: "Too big leader, if you don't want to, you really don't dare, Peng Shuai has a word first, except for Lao Zhang, who escorts grain and grass, no one is allowed to enter the city." Why don't you have wronged the hero for a few days, and now you are camping outside the city, and someone sends someone to send wine and meat? ”

Chen Guo couldn't imagine that Xihua was so strictly guarded, and Liu Sheng gave such a problem, it seems that he really can't enter the city, wouldn't he live up to the great young master's trust, and he couldn't complete the task of taking over the eldest young master for the first time, how to have the face to see the eldest young master in the future. Suddenly, Chen Guo raised his plan and shouted loudly at the city wall: "In this case, the meat must be managed and the fat and wine must be managed, the sun is setting and sending out, and now I want to set up camp, I have no time to pay attention to it, thank you General Liu." ”

After shouting, he beckoned the people to turn back, and he really set up camp three miles away. Liu Sheng saw three knives on the wall and agreed, took the initiative to retreat, and really worked hard outside the city, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Yan Yan turned back and said to his subordinates: "Go, send a hundred people to pick up good wine and meat, and send him out of the city after seeing three knives and setting up a tent, don't slack off, this is a person that Peng Shuai admires, I don't know how many people have killed this group, I can't offend it." ”

At this time, some subordinates muttered: "Isn't it just 300 people, our Taiping Army now has 100,000 in Runan alone, I'm afraid he will do something." Liu Sheng was furious: "You know a fart, 100,000, how many have you killed?" If someone has three knives, even the county lieutenant dares to kill, so the county lieutenant of Anyang County has let three knives and one sword, and the county lieutenant has more than 1,000 people, and after three knives, he will kill four or five hundred. Look at those people, all of them are fierce and vicious, and 300 people are worthy of 10,000 people in Xihua. Chen Guo must have never imagined that Sandao had such a big name in Runan, and the main reason was that Chen Guo happened to meet a self-righteous Yellow Turban general.

Chen Guo deliberately asked everyone to drag the logging until the sun went down to build the camp. At this time, Liu Sheng hurriedly ordered someone to send wine, meat, and food to Chen Guo, and more than 100 people on his shoulders went out of the city. Chen Guo looked at the corners of his mouth, smiled and said to his subordinates: "You don't need to drink alcohol later, all of them will be poured into the city for the hundred people to drink." ”

Chen Lin had already received the news from Chen Guo at this time, knowing that the situation had changed, and Chen Guo did not enter the city as he wished, but Chen Guo thought of a plan by himself, deceived the city to go out of the city to deliver meat, and then tried to drag it until dark, at this time, he secretly solved the people who went out of the city, pretended to be a thief in the city, deceived the city gate, and directly snatched the city gate. Chen Lin thought about it, as long as the city gate was opened, the Yellow Turban Thieves would be in chaos, that is, the Yellow Turban Thieves did not know how many troops were attacking the city, Chen Lin believed that most of them could capture Xihua, the Yellow Turban Battalion, in which all the grain and grass were in it, to see how long Peng Tuo could hold out.

More than 100 people who went out of the city to deliver meat wanted to return to the city after sending it, but they didn't want Chen Guo and others to come forward and hand over a bowl of wine, and there was a posture of not drinking it, and these yellow scarves usually did not drink at ease. Chen Guo set up the small boss and a few cronies and walked out, and the others were solved by Chen Guo's subordinates behind him, and after a while, more than 100 people who looked like "yellow scarves" were turned out, and a few small leaders returned to the city.

The city shouted, "Why did you come back so late?" The person who held up the little boss slapped the little boss's face vigorously, startled the little leader, and scolded the wall in indistinct words: "Don't fart, after three knives, please drink alcohol, what, jealous." "Seeing that the city is really a little leader who went out of the city, and he looks drunk, did he really invite them to drink after three knives? So the gates were opened. As soon as the city gate was opened, the people who held up the little leader, as well as more than 100 people behind him, threw drunk people, drew their knives and rushed to the city gate to cut down.

Chen Guo saw clearly in the dark, saw the city gate open, and shouted: "Give the eldest young master a signal, rush, support the eldest young master, and there will be a lot of rewards." ”

Chen Lin was waiting for his horse early in the morning, and suddenly saw the signal flying in front of him, which was a special fireworks. Hurriedly raised his sword and shouted: "Capture Xihua City, kill." A thousand cavalry rumbled and rushed towards Xihua City, with hundreds of foot soldiers led by Gao Shun and Chen Zhi rushing behind them.

When Chen Lin's cavalry arrived at the city gate, he saw from a distance that Chen Guo's 300 people were still 100 people struggling to withstand the onslaught of the Yellow Turban thieves. Chen Guo heard the sound of horses' hooves, heard a shout, and shouted: "Give way, the cavalry will rush." The remaining 100 people hurriedly ignored the yellow scarves, quickly dodged and stuck to the door wall, just the cavalry brigade rushed over and collided with the yellow scarves, and the yellow scarves suddenly stole people overturned, and Chen Lin's cavalry went straight to the city.

After the cavalry, Chen Guo raised his sword and shouted, leading the remaining 100 people to rush in, for a time in Xihua City shouted to kill, rumors spread, the Yellow Turban Army in the dark did not know what was happening, panicked and disorderly. Killed until dawn, some scholars in the city boldly opened the door of their house to peek, only to see that the streets were chaotic. Knowing that the official army had already attacked, many of the 3200 commanding guards of the scholar clan also joined the ranks of the Yellow Turban Thieves.

Peng Tuo captured the county seat, and he didn't dare to massacre the scholars, but he just cut off the part of the open confrontation, and the others were just blackmail and forbidden to go out of the city, so there were still many big scholars in Xihua City. As soon as these scholars joined, the yellow turban in Xihua City was gone, and there was no more than half of the yellow turban thieves in Xihua at noon, except for those who fled outside the city.

As soon as the yellow scarf was cleared, Chen Lin was not in charge of the scholars in the city, but ordered Huang Yan to check the grain and grass in the city to see if Peng Tuo's grain and grass were really in the city. Huang Yan came back and laughed and said, "Young Master, there is enough food and grass for 100,000 troops in March, hahahaha." Chen Lin jumped up, and laughed hahahaha, this is right, Xihua is Peng Tuo's base camp, and all the military rations are basically here. Unexpectedly, Peng Tuo only left 10,000 people in such a heavy land. In fact, Peng Tuo already attaches great importance to the defense of Xihua, 10,000 people are stationed, and the city gate is closed. As long as Xihua holds out for one day, Peng Tuo must have returned to the army to rescue him.

After laughing, Chen Lin knew that this battle captured Xihua and won Peng To's base camp, with only more than 600 cavalry troops left, more than 400 foot soldiers, and a total of 1,000 people left, and he didn't know how to defend Peng To's counterattack. Peng Tuo lost Xihua, he must attack back violently, Chen Lin knew that as long as he could support half a month, at most half a month, Peng Tuo would be chaotic. Chen Lin was sad and reported that the people of the Xihuashi clan asked to see him. Chen Lin and Huang Yan laughed, defending Xihua was on these people, Chen Lin quickly went out and met with the local scholars of Xihua.
