The city wall of Pingyin County is low and dilapidated, and there are traces of collapse in some places, as if it has been washed by rain, but I am afraid that it has not been repaired. Under the low city walls, these flat-headed people who came out of the city trembled one by one, their heads hung down, and they looked so humble and small in front of Chen Nuo, the god who controlled their fate.

This young man, sitting upright on horseback, dressed in armor, wearing a red cloak on his shoulders, with a straight back and holding the hilt of a sword, although he did not say a word from beginning to end, he could give people a kind of momentum without anger. In today's troubled times, if you have a soldier in your hand and a gun in your hand, you can override everything and even control the fate of others. The three thousand soldiers behind the young man were all majestic and majestic, and the blood stained on their clothes and armor had not been washed away after a killing last night, and at this moment, a murderous aura was invisibly added to their iron faces.

A few years ago, Dong Zhuo, a jackal, suddenly brought a tiger and wolf army to Luoyang and took control of the Son of Heaven. After that, Dong Zhuo Xiliang's department went out to plunder and will be in the Kanto region. All the losses suffered by the army were counted on the nearby people, and the people suffered because of it. Like Pingyin and other places, because the geographical location is not far from Luoyang, the capital division, and they are all rich county seats, they are often looted by Dong Zhuo's department, and the people are afraid of the Xiliang people like tigers.

After that, Dong Zhuo coerced the Son of Heaven to move the capital to Chang'an, and before leaving, he looted again. In this catastrophe, a county like Pingyin was inevitably suffering, and there was little left for the Xiliang people. And some counties are even ten rooms and nine empty, and there are no people, all of which are in trouble. After Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, the number of households here was greatly reduced, and the Xiliang thieves had no oil and water to fish in this area, so they were relatively less patronized. If it weren't for the fact that this place is adjacent to the river and is the gateway location, the Xiliang thieves would never have set up an office here. In this way, the people in the vicinity gathered a little, and the city gradually became more vibrant. However, the number of people in the city is probably only 35,000, less than 1,000.

If it is in accordance with the Han system, the county is full of 10,000 people, and the next is called the chief, and of course the magistrate here does not care about the name of the county order. It's just that if there is chaos today, an area like Wanluo where three or five thousand people can live is already a big county, which shows that Dong Zhuo's trouble is as deep as this.

Most of the people in the city have also fled from various places, and they can be regarded as having seen the world, and in front of today's fierce people, they are actually no different from Dong Zhuo for warlords like Chen Nuo, and they are treated equally. In their eyes, they were all murderers anyway, stepping on other people's corpses, so it was easy to understand the two tremors they saw. Now that their county orders have abandoned their lives and deaths, they naturally understand that in the face of the fierce and vicious officials and soldiers, they have no room for resistance, so they naturally have to choose to compromise and compromise.

The three elders who were forced to take the lead were still calm, while the people behind them had very ugly faces. Even, on the way, some suddenly looked up and saw the menacing people behind Chen Nuo, facing the dense forest of swords, guns and swords, they were already trembling, less timid, salivating at the corners of their mouths, and fell down softly on the spot. It's no wonder that who called Chen Nuo's men and horses just went through a bloody battle, which is not comparable to the time of Xiu County. Thinking that when the soldiers were in Xiu County, Chen Nuo's department had not yet had a battle where the people trembled, let alone now.

Of course, making the people 'afraid' is not Chen Nuo's intention, but a tactical ear. Before entering the city, it is necessary to intimidate people first, otherwise those small lawbreakers may not take him as a thing. What's more, before entering a strange city, who knows if there will be some people who are not afraid of death to stay in it and wait for the opportunity to cause trouble?

Chen Nuo was in front, Dian Wei was under the horse, and on the back of the horse behind him were the two generals Pan Zhang and Zhu Ling, and the remaining 3,000 men and horses were arranged according to the phalanx, as if facing a great enemy. The wind is blowing and pulling the big Xu, and the Chinese book on the banner is "Bohai Taishou Lingwu Zhonglang will Chen" several big characters are shockingly dancing, although the sound is not as good as the sound of the people pulling and moving, but in the ears of every people, it is like thunder shaking everyone.

Chen Nuo did not move, waiting for the people in the city to come out of the city together. After a while, the trembling body of the third elder was less than two feet away from Chen Nuo, and Dian Wei immediately stepped forward to stop it, signaling that he could not enter further. The third elder also understood, and reluctantly laughed twice, before he stopped his steps, took the lead in bowing to Chen Nuo and the others, and called it a capital crime.

The people are humble in saying this, but they are just asking for their lives. The troubled times are like this, and human life is like this, Chen Nuo suddenly felt a burst of sadness in his heart.

He wondered how he would feel if one of them was himself, or if one of them was his parents, in the face of a warlord who was like a wolf. He is a human being, and all the people are also human beings, and this person is born without distinction between high and low, only by chance. If you meet the right situation, you will achieve your own right; If you make a mistake, you can make your own mistakes.

Chen Nuo's body moved, and he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, holding the arms of the three elders, so that they did not need to make this big gift. The people behind the three elders, like ants, did not dare to make a sound, but only bowed. Chen Nuo picked up the three elders and comforted the people at the same time. This time, the county order went quite cleanly, and he didn't even leave a big seal, but there were still some subordinates of the yamen, who were pulled out by Dian Wei and pleaded guilty to Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo reprimanded those subordinates, saying that he was just passing through, not to disturb the people. He also said that the parents and officials here were really rude, and if they didn't come to meet his army, they dared to abandon the people and fled by themselves. A dog official like this must be a corrupt and incompetent person, and if he is caught, he will be beheaded to thank the people. Chen Nuo's generous statement was quite unexpected by the people. They didn't understand anything else, but when they heard the word 'passing by' in Chen Nuo's words, it was like a dawn, illuminating the eyes of all the people. Before the three elders could react, there were those clever people who deliberately tried to persuade Chen Nuo that since he had led the troops here, although there were no good things to entertain in the city, he must invite the general into the city, so that the people of all families could gather some grain and grass to help the army with money.

They said it politely, Chen Nuo couldn't hear the voiceover, but he wanted to test whether he was just 'passing by', or if he wanted to go into the city to fight the autumn breeze. To tell the truth, Chen Nuo had already planned a battle plan before crossing the river, preparing to cross the river in the middle of the night and then attack Pingyin County, and go to the county yamen to make a fortune for the purpose of raising the army. However, due to the late operation, the county was alarmed to run away, and this plan could only fail. Besides, in an ownerless city, in the face of the sudden arrival of the army, the hearts of the people are already very uneasy, if he acts rashly, even if he can bargain for some money, I am afraid that it will also affect his reputation in the future, which is really unwise.

Chen Nuo looked up at the low city in front of him, just thinking that he would not let go of the seal letter in his hand when he came to the county order to flee, presumably the people he looted did not leave much, if it was like when he repaired the county, he ventured into the city but gained nothing, is it too much to gain and lose?

Don't enter this city!

When Chen Nuo thought of this, he immediately smiled and said to the people: "This brother is right, my army is just passing through here, and it has no intention of entering the city to harass the residents. Since the county order is not here, then there is no need for me to enter the city again. I also thank you folks for going out of the city to visit us, and I thank you for your love on behalf of all the soldiers! ”

Chen Nuo said, and as soon as he gave up his hand again, he was about to turn around and lead people away. I didn't want to be in the two or three counties in front of me at this time, but I frowned, and hurriedly stepped forward and led the army into the city. Chen Nuo was a little strange. If it is said that the soldiers have entered the city and the county order is not there, the subordinates in these counties may suffer. He just didn't want to disturb the people, so he deliberately wanted to let them go, but he didn't expect that these uninteresting guys would have to invite him into the city, so he smiled in his heart, and glanced at Zhu Ling and Pan Zhang behind him.

Pan and Zhu were also very incomprehensible, and they both glanced at each other.

One of the slightly fatter Peng subordinates boldly took two steps forward, as if he wanted to say two words to Chen Nuotao, but he was quickly stepped forward by Dian Wei, who was five big and three thick, and unceremoniously stretched out his hand, grabbed his clothes, and lifted his whole body up with a hula and lifted it horizontally. The fat man was scared half to death, if it weren't for his two companions to quickly kowtow and make amends, Chen Nuo opened his mouth to let him go, but he was afraid that he would be thrown out of his uncle by Dian Wei.

With Dian Wei's personality, the three elders were powerless people and could only get close to Chen Nuo for two feet, so he dared to ignore the fact that he was so close to Chen Nuo directly, and it was already very polite not to give a fist immediately. The fat man was panting and wiped a handful of sweat beads from his forehead, but he didn't dare to say a word, but wanted to thank Dian Wei for Rao Ze's kindness. Dian Wei ignored him and stood beside Chen Nuo by himself. Chen Nuo looked at Dian Wei's big head, smiled as well, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay!" He has something to say to me. ”

Chen Nuo beckoned to the fat man and motioned for him to come forward and speak. The fat man looked at Dian Wei hesitantly, seeing that he didn't mean to rush up, so he had the courage to take two steps closer to Chen Nuo, but he really didn't dare to force too close. Chen Nuo looked at him and asked, "Do you have something to say?" ”

The fat man smiled, wiped a handful of sweat with his hands, looked left and right, tried his best to lower his voice, and said to Chen Nuo: "The general doesn't know, although the county commander is gone, there is still a lot of money and food in the treasury, which is enough to meet the needs of the army for a month." General, you see ......."

Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows, glanced at the fat man, and didn't speak. The fat man was swept away by Chen Nuo's sharp gaze, his body trembled, and he hurriedly took two steps back, and arched his hand: "This is the truth, the general doesn't believe it, these two can testify!" The two county subordinates next to him also nodded quickly, proving that what he said was true.

Although the people in the distance didn't hear the conversation between them, they were a little uncomfortable when they saw that Chen Nuo was about to walk away. For example, Chen Nuo who passes through the city and does not enter it, I am afraid that there are very few of them, which makes them embarrassed. After all, the people are the people, in their eyes, as long as you are good to him, he can be good to you by three points, so when Chen Nuo decided not to enter the city, they sincerely invited each other, and their faces were full of sincerity.

Chen Nuo didn't open his mouth for a while, but the corners of his mouth were subtly curled, which was interesting.
