Chen Yan recuperated in bed for four days, and finally regained his vitality. This assassination was really the closest Chen Yan was to death in this troubled world, not only did he lose too much blood, but many wounds were almost inflamed, if it weren't for the protection of the blood-colored jade, Chen Yan might really hang up.

After some recuperation, Chen Yan finally recovered, and what was even more exciting was that Zhang Xiu's injury was almost healed.

Although Zhang Xiu still can't get on the horse at this time, at least he can walk freely. At this time, winter had arrived, and it was cold to the bone on the plain, Chen Yan did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly pulled out the village and marched towards Dingyuan City with the last troops.

Dingyuan City is to the west of Chen Yan's military camp, and the distance is not close, so Chen Yan left the village early in the morning, striving to be able to walk there in a day.

Yang Feng had already gone to take care of everything at this time, presumably under his arrangement, Dingyuan City had changed from an abandoned stone city abandoned by Duan Xuan to a new stronghold of Chen Yan.

Although Xu Rong, Li Su and others were always not very at ease with Yang Feng, Chen Yan knew that this Yellow Turban Yu Party was very reliable to his loyal ministers. The power of faith, no matter what dynasty it is, is amazing.

The army marched slowly, Chen Yan and Li Su together, led the troops to open the way, Xu Rong sat in the Chinese army, among which Zhang Xiu sat on the sedan chair, which looked quite ridiculous. But Huang Zhong and Song Zhong together, with the recruits he had just harvested, pressed the formation behind.

Huang Zhong came to Chen Yan to take refuge in order to use Chen Yan to serve the Han Dynasty, but now he not only came to the vicinity of Jingshi, but also got a force of 50,000 people, which can be regarded as a wish.

I'm afraid that when Chen Yan was just expelled from Chang'an by Lu Bu, he never dreamed that in less than a month, his team would become as strong as it is now, although this team still needs run-in and training, but in terms of lineup alone, it is enough to help him recapture Chang'an.

The wilderness outside Chang'an, in winter, looks even more bleak. In the evening, the setting sun in the distance just shot a blood-red light straight into the faces of these soldiers. Everyone's pale or dark face was blood-colored at this time, and it was very tragic from a distance......

The remnant sun stretched their figures, and then lengthened them......

When the moon crept up from the East Mountain, the soldiers finally saw Dingyuan City standing on the wasteland. Looking from a distance, Dingyuan City is boxy, the city wall is simple and tall, some like a veteran standing on the wilderness, firmly watching the direction of Chang'an.

Dingyuan City, arrived.

This is the first time Chen Yan has seen a military fortress, and in his memory, perhaps because of the influence of modern movies, the impression of Western castles will be deeper. Because of this, he imagined that Dingyuan City should be a fortress surrounded by a moat and located on the side of a mountain.

It's a pity that this is not the case, Dingyuan City is not only located on the plain, there is no moat around, Chen Yan looked at it roughly, and found that Dingyuan City is not big, I am afraid that it is only one-eighth the size of Chang'an City, and the overall shape is square, giving people a sense of strictness.

Different from the four gates of other cities, Dingyuan City only has two gates at the front and back, and the city tower behind is slightly shorter.

The city tower in front is mighty and extraordinary, I am afraid that it is not short compared to the city tower of Chang'an, the gate is two left and right, and the height is about dozens of zhang.

The walls of Dingyuan City are all made of four-foot square stones, which look solid and solid, giving people a sense of security. Chen Yan saw it in his eyes, and secretly admired in his heart: "There is such an impregnable city, let alone Lu Bu, no matter who he is, he must not touch me at all!" ”

Li Su on the side seemed to have the same considerations as Chen Yan, he approached and said, "This city is really strong, it's really a treasure." ”

Chen Yan nodded again and again, and said, "If it weren't for Duan Xuan's revenge and leading his troops to the battle, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to defeat this city." ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Duan Xuan, this guy is usually the most cautious in his affairs, but he has calculated everything, and he didn't expect that you are more scheming than him, and you are more exciting than him. ”

Chen Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's it, brother don't want to laugh at my brother, in fact, he just didn't expect Yang Feng to take refuge in us." ”

Li Su didn't refute, looked into the distance, and suddenly sighed and said: "I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been spent on such a stone city, and how many people have been killed and injured......

Chen Yan didn't expect that Li Su, who was usually the most optimistic and open-minded, suddenly began to feel sentimental, wondering in his heart, and secretly thought: "Could it be that my fat brother has stayed with me a lot, and he has also become sentimental because of my influence?" ”

When everyone saw Shicheng, they were naturally excited, and their actions became faster. However, after all, the number of people was huge, and Chen Yan's troops did not enter the city until late at night.

Yang Feng and Xu Huang went out of the city to greet each other, which made Chen Yan feel quite glorious.

The first thing after entering the city is a feast, Dingyuan City is different from ordinary cities, there are no people in the city, there are no houses, soldiers still need to camp and live, a military tent in the center of the city is a place for discussion and dinner.

At the banquet, everyone was staggered, Chen Yan's internal strength was strong, and the amount of alcohol was also amazing, he walked around, drank frequently, but he was not drunk.

Li Suren is fat, and the amount of alcohol is also terrifying, except for Chen Yan, he can drink the most.

For the rest of the people, Jia Xu didn't like the contents of the cup, and never drank a cup; Xu Huang and Huang Zhong can talk, and after a while, the two seem to have become close friends, and they are happy to push the cup and change the glass; Although Yang Feng was born in a reckless manner, he was very steady and never excessive; Xu Rong was the only one, who was not strong enough to drink, and after being saluted by Chen Yan and Li Su in turn, he began to be a little smoky.

And Zhang Xiu couldn't drink excessively because the old injury had not healed, and he sat alone in the corner, looking a little lonely.

Chen Yan saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and condoled: "Brother Xian, how good is the food?" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Brother Xian is really good, so many sergeants have been placed in an orderly manner by you." ”

Chen Yan saw that Zhang Xiu's smile was a little reluctant, and he wondered in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "But they snubbed my brother, why do you feel unhappy?" ”

Zhang Xiu also answered positively, just sighed, silently picked up the dish, and took a bite.

Chen Yan secretly thought to himself: "My brother was the commander of the first army before, and now although he is nominally my brother, he has been reduced to a subordinate after all, could it be that he is unhappy because of this?" ”

But then he thought about it, Zhang Xiu has always been attentive to him, if he is unwilling to be under his own position, he will definitely say it directly, right?

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xiu suddenly looked at Xu Huang in the distance and said: "I don't want to care about that guy who cut me with an axe, after all, at that time, the two of us were our own masters, and I couldn't complain." But now that they are in the same place, how can he drink wine and eat meat so loudly? If I hadn't been angry that day, he might not have beaten me! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu slapped the table, his face flushed, and it could be seen that he was indeed very dissatisfied with Xu Huang.

Chen Yan said in his heart: "Alas, I thought that Zhang Xiu was generous and had let go of this grievance, but I didn't expect him to still be dissatisfied with it. ”

Zhang Xiu saw Chen Yan's brows furrowed, and said: "Brother Xian is relieved, brother, I am not a person who likes to make trouble, since this guy is rude, when I recover from my injury, I can compete with him with a sword and a gun!" ”

Chen Yan didn't expect Zhang Xiu to have this plan, and hurriedly stopped: "Brother, be cautious, General Xu Huang is not a rude person, I'm afraid he is just not familiar with you at this time, and when you get acquainted in the future, he will naturally come to apologize." ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "That's it, why mention this disappointment, come, eat!" ”

After that, Zhang Xiu stretched out the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, Chen Yan didn't say much, everyone made a noise for a while, and went back to sleep.
