Chen Yan took fifty stones of grain, and went non-stop all the way, rushing to Qian County.

There are many passes along the way, which were once set up by Cao Cao, but at this time Cao Cao lost a lot of cities one after another, and these passes naturally cost money.

Chen Yan followed closely behind him with eight hundred light horsemen, but these soldiers didn't understand in their hearts, why at this critical juncture, their lord had to go deep into the countryside to have a look, was it to experience life?

But they trust Chen Yan and know that Chen Yan is definitely not a playful person, and naturally the lord wants to go to the countryside, so he must have his own reasons.

Zhang Liao and Guo Jia followed Chen Yan left and right, Zhang Liao had a puzzled look on his face, obviously puzzled by Chen Yan's actions, he couldn't help asking: "Junlang, this is ...... What's the matter? ”

Chen Yan hurriedly said, "Xu Chu." ”

Zhang Liao said: "Oh, yes, Xu Chu, is it really that powerful? Is it worth your visit? ”

Chen Yan nodded and said: "This Xu Chu is not ordinary, I heard that there were yellow turban thieves around the village back then, and Xu Chu alone and the villagers resisted the attack of many yellow turban thieves. Later, once Xu Chu gave the ploughing cow to the Yellow Turban soldiers to negotiate peace, the ploughing ox fled, he actually led the tail of the ox and pulled the ploughing ox back, such a divine power, you say it can be regarded as powerful? ”

Zhang Liao gasped and said: "If it is really as Junlang said, then this Xu Chu really has the courage to shock the world, but Junlang has never been to Qiaoxian, how can he know this person's deeds?" ”

This question can be regarded as really asking Chen Yan, the Three Kingdoms period is not as modern as the modern one, the information is very closed, even between neighboring villages, if something happens, I am afraid it will take a few days to spread.

Chen Yan has always lived in Guanzhong, but Qian County is far away in the southeast, if the two sides exchange news, it is simply a fantasy, no wonder Zhang Liao has this question.

Chen Yan hurriedly snorted and said, "Uh...... I also heard some soldiers in the army mention this by chance, and I only knew that, otherwise I am afraid that this hero would also be buried. ”

Zhang Liao nodded his satisfaction at this time, it seems that Chen Yan's hands and eyes are all over the sky, and he refuses to let go of the gossip of the soldiers in the army, and he is indeed a surprising talent.

Gradually, the road became undulating, and the terrain of the plain gradually disappeared, replaced by raised hills and mountain roads, which showed that Qiaoxian was close at hand.

Sure enough, after a while, at the end of the hilly mountain road, a city that was not too big gradually revealed its clues.

This city looks like it is at most a quarter of the size of Chen Liucheng, I am afraid it is less than one-tenth of the size of Chang'an City, and what is even more pitiful is that the city wall is already dilapidated, and there is almost a leak on all sides.

Several soldiers in the army who had been to Qian County stepped forward and pointed to the distance and said, "My lord, there is the city of Qian County in front." ”

Chen Yan nodded, and said in his heart: "This county is really small, and it seems that Cao Cao's hometown is not very good, but Xu Chu should not be in the city, I am afraid that it is among these villages next to the county seat." ”

It is true that there are many villages attached to the edge of the city of Qiaoxian, but the terrain here is continuous and mountainous, and it is not clear how many villages there are outside the city of Qiaoxian for a while.

Chen Yan took eight thousand iron horsemen, followed the mountain road, and advanced to one of the villages.

The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, has already disturbed the residents of the village, at this time it has reached dusk, it is the time when the cooking smoke is everywhere, but unfortunately there do not seem to be too many people in the village now, so the cooking smoke is not dense, only occasionally a few households come out of the cooking smoke, curling up to the sky, the scene is warm.

When the villagers heard the rumbling hooves of their horses, they all closed their doors tightly, and a few of them were bold villagers who quietly poked their heads out from behind the wall to carefully inspect Chen Yan's army.

Most of the remaining villagers hurriedly hid in their houses and cellars, and some of them hurriedly walked over the wall, shouting: "The conscription is coming!" Run! Conscription is coming! ”

When Chen Yan saw this scene, he really couldn't smile bitterly, and he shouted loudly: "Pass the order, don't disturb the people, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

Although this sentence is an order, it also has the meaning of saying it to the people. Chen Yan is really full of energy, this sentence is as loud as thunder, and the village is in the mountains, which is very easy to cause echoes, Chen Yan shouted, and the whole village echoed his words.

"Do not disturb the people...... Thou shalt not disturb the people...... Don't disturb the people......"

Chen Yan's order was heard clearly by the people, and they all seemed to be a little puzzled, the officer at the door, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd?

They are accustomed to seeing the army who come to the village to arrest the strong men, which official is not showing off his might and making a fortune? They are not only here to arrest the strong men, but the beautiful women are also going to take away the wives, and even the only remaining rations in the village must not be missing, and the officers and soldiers are like this, relying on the large number of people and weapons, bullying the villagers and the peasants.

But now this white-haired young general actually said that he was not allowed to disturb the people? He's really not playing tricks?

The people were hiding behind the houses, still peeping at Chen Yanjun's every move, and surprisingly, they were indeed in order and did not take excessive actions.

If the people who came to recruit soldiers in the past had arrived, they would have already started to rob people on a large scale. Could it be true that the white-haired general said "don't disturb the people"?

Chen Yan gradually rode his horse to the village, suddenly stretched out his hand, took out a large bag of grain from the bag behind him, threw it on the ground with a "snap", and then picked it open with a halberd, revealing the rice inside.

The people quietly hid in the dark and saw that the grain was exposed in the sacks, and their eyes were full of golden light, "Wow! "I shouted!

Top fresh rice! How have the people seen it? The grain they have worked so hard to grow has to be taxed, and the rest has been robbed by the officers and soldiers and bandits, and there are occasional leftovers at home, at best, only dross and inferior grain, such a brand new rice, they may not be able to eat it in their lifetime!

"Folks!" Chen Yan said loudly, his voice was clear, and it spread to every corner of the village, "The last general is Chen Yan, the general of the Han Dynasty." ”

"General Zhengdong?" "Chen Yan?" "He said he was a general of the Han Dynasty?" The villagers, hiding behind the walls of their houses, in the cellar, suddenly began to talk.

"What kind of official is General Zhengdong?"

"Is he higher than Lord Cao Cao in Yanzhou?"

"Could he be Yuan Shu's subordinate?"

"He said that he was a general of the Great Han Dynasty, and the Great Han Dynasty was gone? I heard that the Son of Heaven is dead! ”

As soon as you said a word, the village immediately exploded.

I only heard Chen Yan continue: "I came today to ask for something, you see, there is a bag of grain on the ground, I only ask one question, if someone can answer, this bag of grain, he can take it!" ”
