Chu Xuan, who was willing to give up when the situation was good, ordered to return to the city after achieving certain results, and then asked military advisor Chen Gong to make statistics on the battle situation.
[Ding dong, Huang Zhong suddenly attacked, causing Yun Kuang's army to retreat. The battle to defend Yuancheng was temporarily victorious. The special reward is permanent commander 2. The current basic commander has increased to 93 (2); ]
Huang Zhong was definitely a major contributor to repelling Yun Kuang this time. How could he not have repelled the Yellow Turban Army at the north gate, shot the enemy general Ji Wenyuan among the rebels, and then followed the trend towards the west gate.
This time, it is not that easy to defeat Yun Kuang.
However, even after repelling Yun Kuang this time, Chu Xuan still frowned, because in the past half a month, Yuan City had consumed a lot of food, grass, and defensive equipment.
If Yun Kuang regroups and sends troops to Yuancheng again, Chu Xuan himself doesn't know how long Yuancheng can last with only the food, grass and defense equipment he has now.
As the commander-in-chief of the Yicheng Army, Chu Xuan originally brought with him a total of 20,000 people, but now as the battle becomes increasingly fierce, he only has more than 13,000 people left.
In this battle, I am afraid that a lot of people will be lost, and the Han army in Yuancheng did not have many people left before Chu Xuan arrived. Otherwise, how could he have been almost defeated by Yun Kuang when he first arrived.
Chu Xuan made preliminary calculations and found that the city's defenders could not exceed 20,000 at most. If there were no reinforcements, they might not be able to hold on for too long.
"Hahahaha, Brother Qingtian, what are you thinking about?" Just as Chu Xuan was thinking, a rough laughter came from beside him, but his thoughts were suddenly interrupted.
As soon as he heard this voice, Chu Xuan knew who the person was. He couldn't help but raise his head and look up, and found that the person who came was none other than Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng. At this moment, he quickly walked to the top of the city and was smiling.
Hehe walked towards the direction where he was.
"General Huang!" When he saw Huang Zhong coming here, Chu Xuan immediately clasped his fists and saluted. Although the two were now at the same level and held the position of partial general, Huang Zhong's martial arts skills were enough to make Chu Xuan admire him.
Moreover, Wang Yu had mentioned this person in his ears many times. If he had the opportunity to meet him in the future, he must establish a good relationship. Chu Xuan kept this arrangement in mind, so he has been maintaining a relationship with Huang Zhong these days.
Huang Zhong didn't know what Chu Xuan was thinking. He just thought that because both parties were martial artists, they could compete with each other in martial arts.
"Brother Qingtian, there is no need to be polite. We are not in the governor's mansion now, so there is no need for us to observe these false etiquettes. After all, you and I are also officers of the same rank. There is no need to be like this, there is no need to be like this." Huang Zhong waved his hand.
indicated.
"In this case, Qingtian would be presumptuous."
Chu Xuan also laughed and said, since Huang Zhong said so, Chu Xuan naturally does not need to put on this facade, not to mention, he himself actually doesn't like these complicated etiquette.
"Brother Han Sheng, this time the Yellow Turban thief Shou Yun Kuang retreated, brother took the biggest credit. If you hadn't suddenly rushed out and caught the Yellow Turban Army by surprise, causing them to fall into disarray, Yun Kuang wouldn't have been so willing.
Retreating." Chu Xuan immediately offered his words of praise.
"Haha, thank you for your praise, brother. If it weren't for General Zhao's coordination, it would be difficult for me to achieve this feat." Huang Zhong said modestly.
………………
Perhaps it was due to the sympathy between the masters that the two immediately started a business exchange. After exchanging pleasantries, Chu Xuan also returned to the topic.
"Brother Han Sheng, after this defeat of the Yellow Turban bandits, I'm afraid they won't do it again in a short time. We'd better go to the governor's house quickly and report the results to your lord. I believe your lord should be very anxious now!"
Chu Xuan did not continue talking about other things, but went straight to the topic.
To be honest, Chu Gong, the governor of Nanyang County, didn't have much impression of this person...Chu Xuan. After all, there were too many prefects in the Han Dynasty. However, after he came into contact with him, he found that this person was one of the few capable officials in the Han Dynasty.
Already.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out very quickly, catching local officials by surprise, and Chu Gong was naturally one of them. However, Nanyang County is a vast territory with thirty-seven counties.
After Chu Gong responded, he immediately began to fortify the walls and clear the country, moving the population and troops from the nearby county towns to the vicinity of Yuancheng, intending to confront the Yellow Turban Army for a long time and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court.
However, the imperial court's reinforcements did not arrive, and Nanyang became more and more dangerous. After all, the Yellow Turban Army's combat power was not too weak, and the ordinary local army was no match for it.
In more than a month, all counties in Nanyang fell one after another, leaving only Yuancheng, an isolated city in Nanyang County. If Chu Xuan's reinforcements had not arrived, Nanyang would have been lost half a month ago.
After Chu Xuan arrived at Yuancheng, Chu Gong made a decisive decision, overcame all opinions, boldly entrusted him with important tasks, and handed over the command of Yuancheng to Chu Xuan. This led to today's situation.
This kind of courage alone is not something that ordinary county guards can possess.
"Brother Qingtian said that!" After Huang Zhong heard Chu Xuan's suggestion, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "The Yellow Turbans' offensive is particularly fierce today. Your Excellency must have been waiting impatiently in the governor's mansion. A few of us immediately rushed
Just go to the governor’s mansion!”
"Brother Qingtian, please."
"Brother Han Sheng, please."
While Huang Zhong and Huang Zhong were walking side by side to the county governor's house, Zhao Pusheng was responsible for the aftermath.
"Where are Zhu Can, Xiang Yun, Guan Hai, and Wang Qiang?" Zhao Pusheng shouted.
"The general is here." The four guards at the east, west, and south gates all responded.
"Listen now, please quickly clean up the city you are responsible for, count the bodies of the Han army brothers one by one, and bury them properly!"
"As for the corpses of the dead Yellow Turban soldiers, throw them outside the city, gather them together and burn them all on fire!"
"The weather is already hot now. If you don't handle it properly, you can easily be infected with the plague. You must take precautions against this. Do you understand?" Zhao Pusheng scolded Fang Qiu.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I understand." Zhu Can and others said in unison.
Although Zhao Pusheng is not the commander-in-chief of the army, he is indeed the commander-in-chief. On the battlefield, even Chu Xuan has to listen to him. Naturally, he does not have to bother him with handling the corpses and handles them himself.
……………
At the same time, Yuancheng, the prefect's mansion.
Chu Gong, the governor of Nanyang County, was waiting outside the door early.
As the governor of Nanyang County, the first county in the Han Dynasty, it stands to reason that Chu Gong should be well-known, but in fact, Chu Gong did not leave much ink in the history books.
If there is such a thing, it is in the records of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Later Han Dynasty that he was attacked and killed by Zhang Mancheng, the leader of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army.
From the perspective of future generations, this is just a minor figure mentioned briefly in history books.
Not to mention Chu Xuan, who was a military general, even if Wang Yu, who was familiar with history, was here, he would probably subconsciously regard him as a sidekick if he didn't have a systematic test.
After all, most of history, heroes are judged in terms of victory.
The fact is that the Chu Gong who appeared in front of Chu Xuan could definitely be regarded as an official in his eyes. Although he was a little far behind the current Zhong Yao, he was definitely not that bad.
It was precisely because of Chu Gong's decisiveness that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han army immediately implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness, and ordered the strong men in the city to be summoned to help defend the city, which greatly enhanced the strength of the defenders.
At the same time, Chu Gong withdrew the defenders in remote areas to preserve their strength. Only then, under Yun Kuang's fierce attack, could they persist until the day Chu Xuan arrived.
When Chu Xuan first arrived, Chu Gong handed over the two gates of Yuancheng, namely the east gate and the south gate, to him for guarding. Later, after several battles with the Yellow Turban Army, Chu Gong saw that
The strength of this army and Chu Xuan's commanding ability.
In other words, it is the commanding ability of his general Zhao Pusheng.
So, he immediately summoned the generals and told everyone in public that he would hand over the defense of the entire Yuancheng to Chu Xuan, and even Huang Zhong and other generals would have to obey his arrangements.
It can be said that it was precisely because Chu Gong did not set any restrictions on Chu Xuan that Chu Xuan only became the general of the army, and the commander of the city defender was Zhao Pusheng, who commanded the entire Yuancheng army.
It was precisely Chu Xuan's arrangement and Chu Gong's unconditional trust that enabled Zhao Pusheng to give full play to his strengths and repel the waves of attacks from the Yellow Turban Army.
From these points alone, it can be seen that Chu Gong is still very courageous, otherwise he would not have done such a thing.
In the original history, Chu Gong failed to resist Zhang Mancheng's attack and disappeared in the wave of the Yellow Turban Uprising. As a result, Nanyang County was conquered by the Yellow Turban Army. I am afraid it was also because of the lack of strength of his men.
For example, Huang Zhong should not have appeared on the Nanyang battlefield in original history, otherwise it would be impossible for him to remain famous.
After all, Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from Jiangdong, because of his bravery and because he was a subordinate of Zhu Jun, after achieving some achievements, Zhu Jun reported to the court and conferred the title of Sima of another department on Sun Jian.
Don't underestimate this Sima of another department. He is a subordinate officer of the general. As long as the general he follows has a higher rank, he will not be younger, he will just be younger than the captain.
Far from Liu Bei's Anxi County Lieutenant, he can be compared.
But in fact, Sun Jian was conferred the title of Sima of another department, while Huang Zhong did not show any fame. This shows that Huang Zhong at that time did not live in Nanyang.
Otherwise, such a brave and invincible person would have made achievements no matter what.
However, with the arrival of Chu Xuan and the golden warrior Huang Zhong, it will not be easy to win Nanyang even if the opponent is Yun Kuang, who is highly commanding and highly martial.
It can be said that with the arrival of Chu Xuan, Chu Gong's life and destiny have already undergone tremendous changes. As for the extent of the change, we can only look at the development of the situation in the Central Plains.
Chu Gong was not the kind of scholar who was obsessed with reading, or the literati of this era had never been obsessed with reading. If they picked any one at random, they could beat the ordinary literati of the Song Dynasty.
Although Chu Gong was a scholar, his concern for the war was no less than that of generals such as Chu Xuan.
It was precisely because of this that he asked Chu Xuan and Huang Zhong to rush to the prefect's mansion and report to him on the day's battle situation as soon as they repelled the attack of the Yellow Turban Army outside the city.
However, Chu Gong did not wait inside the prefect's mansion, but greeted them outside to show his solemnity, and today was no exception.
Chu Xuan and Huang Zhong walked very quickly, and before they reached the gate of the prefect's house, they saw the prefect Chu Gong and a group of his soldiers waiting in front of the gate of the prefect's house.
Chu Xuan and Huang Zhong looked at each other and smiled, but they were still very moved in their hearts. There were not many prefects who did not look down on warriors. The two of them immediately quickened their pace and walked towards the prefect's mansion.
"Last General Chu Xuan (Huang Zhong)! Meet your lord!"
Although the two have the same position, their affiliations are different. After all, Chu Xuan is a guest soldier, while he is a Yicheng County Lieutenant and a partial general, and is not under the jurisdiction of the Nanjun Prefect.
Therefore, Huang Zhong needs to kneel down and worship Chu Gong, but Chu Xuan does not. Of course, even if Chu Gong is the governor of Nanjun, Chu Xuan will not. The only one who can really make him kneel down is his lord Wang Yu.
After all, this era is not like the era in which Boarskin lived later, where he would kneel to the ground like a slave at every turn.
"You two don't need to be so polite, please get up quickly, please get up quickly." Seeing Huang Zhong kneeling on the ground, and Chu Xuan also bending down to bow, Chu Gong was not unhappy at all, and immediately stretched out his hand to pull the two of them away.
Help up.
As the prefect of Nanyang County, Chu Gong, like the prefects in other places in the Han Dynasty, was a scholar, or a filial and honest person.
However, the difference between this era and later generations is that literati must at least be proficient in the six arts of the gentleman, and no matter how bad they are, they must have the ability to protect themselves. Take Chu Gong in front of us as an example. He is a warrior, and his martial arts has reached the second level of body tempering.
In other words, his current force value is over forty-five, and he has no problem dealing with a few soldiers. And now, he is wearing a military uniform with a sword hanging on his waist.
If you don't know that he is a scholar, just judging from his appearance, it is easy to think that he is a Confucian general, especially since he has a certain killing and decisiveness in his body now.
"My lord, it is our duty as soldiers to protect the homeland. The Marquis of Guan Nei often taught us this before he left. Moreover, we will live in Han Dynasty for a long time and regret that we will never have the opportunity to serve the imperial court!"
"Now, the Yellow Turban bandits are causing chaos everywhere in the Han Dynasty. The general should dedicate his martial arts to eliminate the Yellow Turban bandits and restore peace to the people of the world!" Chu Xuan said sonorously and forcefully.
Chu Xuan's words were full of loyalty to the Han Dynasty, as if he was the most loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. He wished he could hold a spear and fight to the death with the yellow turban rebel to repay the emperor's kindness.
If Wang Yu were here, I would definitely give him a thumbs up. His acting skills are almost as good as those of Liu Bei. He can definitely give him a golden man. If you like Summons of the Late Han Dynasty, please save it: (www
