It has been six days since Chen Mo came to this chaotic world. From the mouths of some soldiers in the tent, he gradually learned some useful information, such as the dynasty where he was.

Big man!

The famous Han Dynasty in ancient history!

Although Chen Mo knew nothing about history, he did not even know about the Han Dynasty. Coupled with the explanations and statements of Pei Yuanshao and others, Chen Mo gradually understood the age he was in.

In the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, killed the White Snake and rebelled, destroyed the tyrant Qin and unified the world. Later, it was Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu, and now it has been four hundred years. During this period, there were peace rulers, and there were no remains on the road, no houses were closed at night, and there were also natural disasters and man-made disasters, starving people everywhere, and changing children ate together.

When it was announced to the time when His Majesty Liu Hong was about to end, the fortunes of foreign relatives and eunuchs in power in the court, corrupt and abused the law, imposed heavy taxes, and there were thieves in the court, and strong people were bent and confused. In addition, the emperor was confused, favored villains, and sold official porridge and titles, which made the court dark and the people were in trouble.

The era where Chen Mo lived was during the reign of Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the sixth year of Jianning.

In the sixth year of Jianning, Zhang Jiao, a native of Julu, raised his troops to rebel, calling himself General of Heaven, his younger brother Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang calling himself General of Earth, General of Rengong, and falsely said that "The sky is dead, Huangtian should be established; in Jiazi, the world is very lucky], and during this period, he hastily raised his army due to his misfortune in his deeds.

Then, Zhang Jiao set up a yellow flag privately, writing on one side [Aligning the Unevenness of the World] and on the other side [Replacing the Heavenly Evil]. For a time, people from all over the world followed each other, and hundreds of thousands of people wrapped in yellow turbans and followed Zhang Jiao.

Within a month, wars occurred frequently in the 28 counties of seven prefectures and 28 counties across the country. The Yellow Turban Army was unstoppable and powerful. The officials and troops were popular. The prefectures and counties were lost, and officials and soldiers fled, which shocked Kyoto.

To this end, He Jinqi, a relative of the court, submitted a letter to Emperor Liu Hong, who quickly issued an edict. While ordering all places to recruit soldiers to prepare for war and make contributions to the thieves, he also sent three generals, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, to each lead the elite troops of the headquarters and divide them into three groups to fight the thieves.

In early March, the emperor ordered General He Jin to lead the five camps of Yulin to set up weapons to guard the capital; he also set up commanders to guard the capital from Hangu Pass, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Zhuyuan, Arc deputies, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and other Kyoto passes; issued an edict to strictly prevent the situation and order all prefectures and counties to prepare for combat, train soldiers, assemble weapons, and summon the rebels.

At this time, the main force of the Yellow Turbans was divided into three parts. One part was led by the three brothers of Zhang Jiao, and the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, and the area of ​​Julu and Guangzong; the second part was led by Bo Cai, and the area of ​​Yingchuan, and the area of ​​Yingchuan. The third part was led by Zhang Mancheng, and the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang.

The three main forces of the Yellow Turban echo each other from afar, and there is a faint momentum of converging troops.

Faced with the fierce offensive of the Yellow Turban Army, General Lu Zhi of the North Central Army led the deputy general Zong Zheng to lead the five Northern Army soldiers to Jizhou and deal with Zhang Jiao's main force; General Huangfu Song of the Left Central Army and General Zhu Ye of the Right Central Army each led an army to control the five schools, the Sanhe Cavalry and the first recruitment of elite soldiers and warriors, and led the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army to attack Bocai.

The Yellow Turban Army in Runan defeated the prefect Zhao Qian in Shaoling, and the Yellow Turban Army in Guangyang killed the Youzhou Governor Guo Xun and the Prefect Liu Wei. For a moment, the Yellow Turban Army was like a fire that was burning prairie, and it was out of control.

In early April, Zhu Ye, the right general of the Central Army, fought with the Yellow Turban Qu Shuaibocai in Yingchuan area. Zhu Ye suffered losses and lost his troops and retreated.

It was at this time that Chen Mo accidentally turned into an ordinary soldier among the 80,000 Yingchuan Yellow Turbans, a soldier who behaved strangely in the eyes of others...

Chen Mo said very little, let alone other people, even talked to other soldiers in his tent very few times. When he was fine, he always leaned on the pillars in the tent and lay on the straw pavilion, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Chen Mo did not drink alcohol, not because he was drunk, but because the wine in the camp was really precious. Chen Mo had no special hobbies for this, so he gave his portion to Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, which was also a reward for bringing the seriously injured himself back to the camp.

What surprised the others the most was that Chen Mo did not value money. He handed over the military pay he paid two days ago to Zhou Cang, asking him to change some wine and food from the military department, and called Tao Zhi and Fan Li to have a meal together.

Because it was the period of rewarding the army, the Yellow Turban barracks had not issued a ban on alcohol. However, from another perspective, it can be seen how small the military pay of the soldiers was. The military pay for half a year was only enough for fifteen people to eat a meal of wine and meat.

Not to mention Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, even Tao Zhi and Fan Li felt a little disgusted, but Chen Mo didn't feel any regrets.

What does money mean to him alone?

However, because of this, Chen Mo's relationship with the three soldiers of Zhou Cang, Tao Zhi and Fan Li became very harmonious.

"Xiao Mo, I'll wait for shame today. Don't be so luxurious in the future. I'll let me wait for a loss!" After a full meal, Zhou Cang hesitated and took out twenty copper coins.

Chen Mo was lying on the grass pillow, his face was stunned and asked in confusion, "What is this for?"

Zhou Cang scratched his head and said honestly, "These twenty copper coins are collected by my brothers, Lao Pei, Xiao Wang, and Xiao Han. How can you ask you to pay for it alone? Take it and save it for a long time. It's enough to go back to your hometown in the future. Whether you get married or buy land, it's always a hope!"

Chen Mo shook his head slightly.

Zhou Cang scratched his head with some embarrassment. During the contacts of a few days, he gradually realized that his little brother was actually a very stubborn person. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult for others to change him. After thinking about it, Zhou Cang said, "Then, let's do it, I'll keep it for you first, and ask me for it when I use it in the future!"

As he said that, he carefully wrapped twenty copper coins in a piece of cloth and stuffed them under the straw shop. When he turned around, he saw Chen Mo looking at the top of the tent in a daze and asked curiously, "In the past few days, I have seen you ponder in the tent every day, and you don't go around the camp. I don't know what you are thinking?"

Chen Mo shook his head.

Zhou Cang was stunned and said in surprise, "You don't know what you are thinking about?"

Chen Mo nodded.

Looking at Chen Mo, seeing that his expression was not like joking, Zhou Cang scratched his head and said, "Then don't think about it randomly, take a break early. Today, the general has sent an order. I will rush to Changshe tomorrow. The journey is very hard, so let's have a good rest!"

"Um!"

As Zhou Cang said, the next morning, Bo ordered his 80,000 Yellow Turban camp to set off and rush to Changshe, naturally including Chen Mo.

From morning to noon, there was no stop on the way. Although the weather in April was not so hot, Chen Mo still walked around and his legs were numb and his whole body was sweating.

Carrying an iron spear in his hand and wearing leather armor, Chen Mo kept walking and his mouth was dry and his eyes were full of stars.

Although Zhou Cang gave him the iron spear in his hand and the leather armor on his body with good intentions, there were still many soldiers in the army who only fought with bamboo spears and did not have any leather armor as armor, but at this moment, it increased Chen Mo's burden.

Chen Mo has never walked such a long way. Although other loads have been carried by Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, the other soldiers with good relationships have been carried by him, the iron spear in his hand and the leather armor on his body are still breathless.

As for this, no soldier can help Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao. After all, as a soldier, how could he even hand over the weapons he fought to others?

Of course, you cannot throw away the weapons in your hands, because the military rules clearly stipulate that all soldiers in the camp abandon their weapons for no reason will be regarded as deserters and beheaded!

After leaving for three days, when he arrived at Changshe, Chen Mo had no strength to speak. Not to mention that his current body is just a fourteen or five-year-old child, even in his previous life, he could not bear such a high-level marching.

What's more, in order to pursue Zhu Jun, the General of the Right Central Army, the Yellow Turban Army ordered the entire army to move quickly. It only takes noon every day, and takes a total of three hours to rest at night, and has to rush on the rest of the time. Not to mention Chen Mo, even the other soldiers in the army could not bear it.

What's worse is that Zhu Jun seemed to have seen through the shortage of food in the Yellow Turban Army. When he retreated, he burned all the mountains and forests along the way, causing the people in the mountains to move to other places, which made the Yellow Turban Army unable to replenish supplies. He also used filthy objects to pollute the lakes and rivers along the way, and cut off the Yellow Turban drinking water.

Zhu Jun is worthy of being a veteran who has been through the battlefield for a long time.

However, it caused trouble for Chen Mo. Before this, he had never experienced how uncomfortable it was to not drink water for a day or two. Even the rice cakes used to fill their stomachs were hard like stones. When swallowed, it was like swallowing a stone. It was so breathless that he could only chew around, bit by bit, and relying on saliva to soften the rice cakes.

However, he had not drunk water for two consecutive days, not only did his lips crack, but his saliva seemed to have dried up.

Finally on the third day, Chen Mo was at least supportive to arrive at Changshe, and even he himself couldn't believe it. The experience of these three days was probably the worst three days in his memory.

"The whole army stopped!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from the front, and then, officers from all walks of life spread the order one by one, reaching the ears of every soldier.

"Has it arrived?" Chen Mo, who seemed to have lost half his life, raised his head with a gun and looked into the distance. This time, it seemed to add some energy to him.

In Chen Mo's eyes, what a magnificent ancient city.

The huge and majestic city tower, the winding and hard to see the edge of the city wall, the towering battlements, and the densely packed soldiers and flags on the city wall, the surging momentum rolled towards Chen Mo like waves.

"This... this is Changshe... city?" Chen Mo's eyes were filled with shock, because he had never seen such a pure ancient city.

"Finally arrived!" Beside Chen Mo, Pei Yuanshao looked at the magnificent city in the distance, licked his cracked lips, and whispered, "I don't know if the general will order the siege!"

"It shouldn't be!" Zhou Cang shook his head and whispered, "We have worked hard to travel for three days before we arrived at Changshe. We are trapped in people and horses. If we attack the city at this time, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties."

"So that's it..." Pei Yuanshao nodded as if he suddenly realized.

While he was talking, suddenly a man from the central army approached Changshe and shouted loudly, "Listen to the military and civilians in the city, I led the army here today. If I want to survive, open the city gate. Don't wait for my order to attack the city. When the city is broken, it will be too late to regret it!"

"Break the city! Break the city! Break the city!" Several generals took the lead, and 80,000 Yellow Turban soldiers shouted together, and they were so brave that the officials and soldiers in Changshe City were both disheartened and silent.

He is the handsome boy?

While pausing the iron spear in his hand, Chen Mo looked at the handsome Bocai riding a white horse in front of the formation curiously.

The Yellow Turban Commander Bo is not very tall, and at a rough look of about eight and a half feet [note]. In other words, it is almost two meters. Of course, it is indeed very tall in later generations, but it seems a bit ordinary in the Yellow Turban Army. Not to mention that almost half of the soldiers in the army are around this height, just take Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao as an example. Their height is about nine feet and they are very tall. Chen Mo can only reach their chests and abdomen, and is considered to be one of the tallest soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army.

Perhaps, people in this era are generally tall and burly, Chen Mo secretly speculated.

Having said that, as soon as Bo had called out, there was a reaction on the Changshe City Tower. Chen Mo vaguely saw a general wearing armor holding the city wall and shouted loudly, "Don't be arrogant, thieves, we are loyal and kind-hearted, how can we surrender to you and others? You are like you who have no king or father, who are unfaithful and unfilial, if you still have any conscience, you will put down your weapons and abandon your darkness and turn to the light. I can still write to you and your Majesty, and you will not blame you for your past. If you are stubborn and unscrupulous, when the reinforcements arrive, you will all die and die here!"

As soon as the man on the city finished speaking, he heard Bo crossing the war horse and laughed loudly. He raised his whip and pointed at the city tower from afar, and said hilariously, "Zhu Yanbi, I asked you to escape by chance in Yingchuan a few days ago. Do you still have the face to come out to see me? Is the defeated general, Shang Yan brave?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yellow Turban generals behind Bo Cai laughed and mocked him.

It turned out that the person who was speaking just now was Zhu Yan, the right general of the Han Dynasty. Bo Cai ridiculed this time, causing the old face to turn purple and tremble constantly when he held the city wall.

"I won't talk nonsense to you, ask Huangfu Song to come out to see me!" Bo Cai snorted coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a veteran in a golden helmet and armor came out of the city tower. It was the veteran Huangfu Song. He stood on the city and shouted, "Bocai, you are also a great man, and you have been grateful to the emperor. Now that you are doing this unfaithful and unfilial, what are the faces to worship the ancestors in your family? I advise you to evacuate your subordinates early and return to your hometown to think about it behind closed doors, so as not to say everything in the future, and you will bear the eternal infamy!"

"Hey!" Bo Cai laughed instead of anger, stepped on the horse and walked a few steps on the spot, raised his whip and pointed at the city, shouting loudly, "Old man should not show off his courage. If you have the courage, you will lead your troops out of the city. The two armies will fight each other and compete with each other. If you have no courage, you will abandon your official position early and go home to study and plow the fields!"

After waiting for a long time, Huangfu Song didn't reply. Bo Cai asked the generals under his command to curse each other, scolding Zhu Jun. Huangfu Song and the two were turtles with their heads and cursing very fiercely, but Changshe still did not make any noise. It has to be said that these two veterans were indeed calm.

Of course, in Chen Mo's opinion, this level is nothing.

In the next two hours, the generals in the Yellow Turban Army kept rotating and scolding, but the Changshe still did not make any noise.

At this moment, with a crackling sound, Zhou Cang suddenly found that the soldiers beside him sat down for half. After asking, he realized that it was the commander who was polite to the soldiers and sent him to order the soldiers in the army to rest on the spot.

Zhou Cang was puzzled when he heard this and whispered, "I don't know what the general is thinking. What should we do if the soldiers and horses in the city come to attack at this time?"

Pei Yuanshao shook his head and turned his head, but saw that Chen Mo had already sat down. After thinking about it, he also sat down.

Not long after, the 80,000 Yellow Turbans except the soldiers in the middle of the army, all sat on the ground to rest, but Bo Cai, as the commander of the first army, ignored it.

A strategy to lure the enemy?

Chen Mo looked at Bocai's back in surprise.

After waiting for an hour, Changshe still didn't move. Bo frowned, turned his horse back, waved his right hand, and shouted, "Tell me the order behind the Central Army Hall, the rest of the soldiers retreated twenty miles to camp!"

Alas, I know...

Chen Mo sighed silently.

[Note: One foot = about 0.24 meters in the late Han Dynasty. The measurements in the text are based on this standard. One foot = 2.4 meters. Just know the approximate height. Anyway, the height of the military generals in the text will be very buggy.]
