Chapter 5 Poor Xun You

In the seventh year of Guanghe, (184), in April, the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army, under the leadership of Bo Cai, defeated Zhu Jun and took advantage of the victory to besiege Huangfu Songyu Changshe. The rebels were powerful, and there were only thousands of officers and soldiers defending the city, and they did not dare to go to war. Bo Cai led the army to attack several times. In midsummer, the rebels lacked combat experience and formed a camp. Huangfu Song grabbed the fighter plane and used the dark and windy night to cover the soldiers to sneak into the rebels and set fire to the camp. Huangfu Song took advantage of the situation to attack, and the Rebels retreated in chaos. On the way, he was intercepted by Cao Qianjun, the cavalry commander who came to reinforce him, and suffered heavy losses. Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Cao Yan joined forces and took advantage of the victory to pursue. Bo Cai returned to the division and fought again. He was defeated again. Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops were killed in the battle. After this battle, Changshe's place name was famous in the Central Plains.

Half a decade ago, Sun Jian broke through Yang Zhai, and even the sentry soldiers at the foot of Changshe Mountain ran naked,

"Quick, keep up."

"Can't you run now? Believe it or not, I'll whip you with a leather whip.

"Repraising soldiers for a thousand days, for a while, Ping said that Taishou eats and drinks well for you. Now it's time for you to work hard."

"Speed up, before tonight, the whole family will rush to Houhe Village."

On the winding official road, a team of soldiers are sweating and marching at a high speed, bringing dust all over the sky. All the soldiers were dressed in simple leather armor, and there was nothing heavy on their bodies except weapons. Although after a night of a sudden march, the rest time was very short, most of the people were still as strong as soldiers and walked lightly. This is due to He Chen's emphasis on the weight-bearing cross-country project. Although the training soldiers are under the jurisdiction of Xu Huang and Lou Gui, He Chen still adds some of his own ideas. You should know that in ancient times, most of the war depended on two legs. The soldier's walking ability determined its mobile surname and the first opportunity of the battlefield. Therefore, He Chen's requirements in this regard are extremely strict and even harsh.

At this time, He Chen felt that there were too few military strategies. If there was a "increase physical strength" or "increase my military speed" now, he would not be as tired as a cow now. He Chen secretly made up his mind that he must try his best to get an official position, upgrade his surname, and grow his ability.

When 2,000 elites arrived at Houhe Village, east of Changshe, it was almost dark.

Although He Chen's strategic vision and tactical ability are very average, he still fell in love with this place at a glance.

First of all, Houhe Village is the only way from Yingchuan to Xingyang. Secondly, Houhe Village is built next to the mountain. On one side is the lofty mountains, undulating and dense trees; on the other side is a tributary of Yingshui, and the river bank is overgrown with reeds. Although it is February, the weather is cold and the reed branches are dry, but the undulating embankments, dead branches and weeping willows are still very easy to hide soldiers. In addition, the front line of sight is not far away, and the road is uneven, which is very easy to block the eyeliner. Even if the ambush soldiers, it is not easy to be found.

Just settled down the soldiers and asked them to seize the time to rest and recover their physical strength. Xu Huang has led hundreds of cavalry to reprimand the Hou brigade. Before he approached, the voice has arrived: "Your Excellency, my subordinates have been searching for nearly half a day, and no enemy has been found."

He Chen took a breath and made up his mind. After wiping the sweat on his face, he moved his bumpy and painful body again, and said with a relaxed face, "It's okay. There was no encounter with the enemy brigade. Gongming, you lead the Marquis to dress up and go to the intersection to explore the news. As soon as there is an enemy movement, it will be returned immediately.

"I got it." Xu Huang turned over the horse, took the axe from the soldier again, turned around and rode away.

After He Chen saw Xu Huang's Hou brigade disappear in front of his eyes, he turned his head to be tired, his face was full of dust, and there was no trace of dust. Xun You said with a bad smile, "Gong Da, how do you feel now? Have you scattered the thin bones?

Xun You leaned under an old tree. In the cold east wind in early spring, the big beads of sweat kept dripping down the clear beard, gasping, and bursts of white fog spewed out of his mouth. He was a little out of breath and said, "The military career is indeed the most to exercise a person's will and morality. These two days, the subordinate has a deep understanding. "." Although Xun You can ride a horse, the bones all over his body are like falling out, and he is so tired.

"Haha, what Gongda said is very true, so you can take a break first." He Chen wanted Xun You to take him to see which place was more suitable for ambush, but when he saw that he was tired and weak, he could only say slowly for the time being.

"No, I still hold on." Replying to some of Heli, Xun You gritted his teeth and stood up.

Although Xun You was a literati, he was also arrogant in his heart and insisted on going together. He Chen had no choice but to do so he agreed.

Let's take a look, wait and choose a good place, and let the soldiers prepare some simple fortifications. The sky is already dark, the moon is hanging high, and the stars are shining.

At the foot of Jingshan Mountain, in the riverside village, the shadows of the mountain are stacked, the bonfires are shining, and occasionally a few night owls break the tranquility. Due to the urgent march, there was no heavy material, and the spring night was cold. A row of soldiers did not have any cold clothes. They could only spread some dry grass in place, and then take the haze together. Although the conditions were so difficult, no one complained a little. As soon as the tired soldiers snored to the ground, one after another.

At the hour, the rapid sound of horses' hoofs suddenly came from fast forward.

The soldier woke up almost at the same time, picked up the weapons casually, and stared at the distance with a vigilance.

In a blink of an eye, I saw several shadows flying at high speed.

"Someone is Xu Huang. He found the enemy 30 miles away and is coming in this direction." A huge golden axe in the cavalry shines in the night light.

"Everyone, stand by." He Chen ordered the soldiers to go down, and another big stone in his heart was finally put down. He turned around and gently praised, "Gongda's magic calculation. As you expected, the enemy really came here."

Xun You's eyes were a little bloody, but he was in good spirits. He was also a little excited and said, "Good to come."

At this time, He Chen lay in a pile of rocks at the foot of the mountain, with more than a dozen guards such as Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao beside him, and everyone's faces were shining with excitement. Among them, one of the guards was particularly conspicuous. He was very young, and his fair-faced blow bullets were broken. He was handsome and beautiful. From time to time, a pair of big black and white eyes fell into a trace of anxiety. He often looked into the distance, and he was disappointed to take back the goose's white jade neck. If it's not the yellow butterfly dance, who is it? At this time, her dress was completely different from before. She was dressed in guard leather armor, covering most of the exquisite curves, holding two knives, one long and one short, one thin as willow leaves, curved like a full moon; a straight ridge with a single blade, shaped like a simple knife. It turned out that Huang Zhong couldn't stand the girl's stone grinding blisters. After He Chen's incitement, he had no choice but to agree to this.

Although Huang Diewu is extraordinary in martial arts, she first entered the military camp and had a female surname. He Chen could only arrange her to be her guard first. But even so, the girl is very happy. She is full of expectations and hopes for the upcoming first battle.

It's just a woman, and He Chen smiled in her heart.

The soldiers soon took their positions and did their respective duties. While waiting quietly, a murderous atmosphere began to slowly permeate all around.

Time passes quietly like this, and unconsciously, it is almost updated.

In the meantime, the reprimand came to report the news several times, and the enemy was getting closer and closer.

"County guard." At this time, Xu Huang came in a hurry, and his face was a little solemn.

He Chen faintly felt a little good and said, "How's the situation?"

"According to the report just now, the main force of the enemy is at least twice that of our army, and it seems to be extremely well equipped. It is very likely that it is the main force of the Guanzhong Army." Xu Huang gave everyone a bad news in a low voice.

"How many more hours will it take for them to get here?" Xun You changed his color and hurriedly asked.

"The vanguard cavalry will arrive in about a quarter of an hour, and the main force will be about an hour." Xu Huang looked at He Chen with bright eyes.

"Impossible? The main force of Dong Zhuoguan has been transferred to Fenshuiguan. How can it appear here? Is there any feud between Dong Zhuo and the general? Is it necessary to get rid of it quickly? Otherwise, how can we give up the big one and take the small one? The common sense of the soldiers? Xun You was puzzled and glanced at He Chen with an inquiring look on his face.

He Jin harmed people again, and the death of this death did not make people worry. Since He Jin ordered Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing, He Chen has criticized Dong Zhuo in several letters. I guess I don't know who leaked this matter, so Dong Zhuo hates himself so much. Only such an explanation can be reasonable. Did the death of Empress Dowager He and Wu Yangjun play a disgraceful catalyst in the middle? He Chen's scalp was numb and thought.

Yuan Shao? He Chen's mind suddenly flashed, and the name of this person naturally floated out.

He Jin relies so much on this person in front of him, and Yuan Shao knows many unknown secrets. After he broke his plan, he held a grudge. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and held the power, he kept sangling himself and making trouble, making Dong Zhuo's heart kill. The more He Chen thought about it, the more likely it was. He gritted his teeth angrily.

"Gongda, if our army fights, how many chances do you think we can win?" Soon, He Chen said coldly, throwing away his distracting thoughts.

"The general is a mistake of his subordinates. It is calculated a lot of calculations. It is not calculated that Dong Zhuo is willing to give so much blood to the general. The Guanzhong army can fight well and is extremely brave. He has been famous all over the world since Qin. Today, our army said that even if it occupied the right time and place, and tried its best to fight against Beishui, it would kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. In the end, even if it can win, it will be a tragic victory. The grim and serious expression on Xun You's face made the generals heavy in their hearts. They looked at He Chen with their eyes and waited for him to make a final decision.

He Chen took a deep breath and said slowly, "Regardless of the victory or defeat, I have decided to set up a direct intelligence force after returning to Nanyang to collect military information and inquire about the information. It's not like I'm blind now. I didn't know the real situation of the enemy until an hour before the fight started.

The generals are also deeply touched.

"General, do you see...?" Xun You looked at He Chen with some concern.

He Chen sneered twice, and his face suddenly became extremely firm. He pulled out his sword and raised his head high. He shouted to the sky, "Xu Huang, Zhang Liao obeys the order."

"Not here." The two generals obviously felt the determination from He Chen's movements and went out of the line.

"Immediately go down and let the soldiers prepare, let go of the Hou cavalry, wait for half of the Chinese army to come out, listen to the general's order, and kill him fiercely. No matter what his mother's Guanzhong army and Danyang army, it's not a pimple on his head, just let go of my hands and feet and cut them fiercely. Whoever fucking step back, don't blame me for accounting after autumn. " He Chen's face was ferocious and murderous.

"No." The blood of the two generals was boiling, their hearts were surging, and the blue veins soared and shouted loudly.
