Xuzhou
Originally, Chen Feng thought that after he stayed, with Tao Qian providing food and grass, he would be eating and drinking for free.
But the reality was not what he thought. Ever since he led 10,000 Yangzhou soldiers to temporarily stay in Xuzhou, he was either helping Tao Qian to suppress the rebellion, or on the way to help Tao Qian suppress the rebellion.
Previously, when Tao Qian governed Xuzhou, he mainly relied on subduing people with force. His relationship with the various families and nobles in Xuzhou was not friendly, but his life was not bad.
However, the attack by Cao Cao's army not long ago was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing Xuzhou to begin to fall apart. Warlords were established everywhere, and all counties and counties were dissatisfied with Tao Qian's governance.
The two counties of Xiapi and Guangling under Xuzhou continued to rebel. Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, was killed by the rebels.
And Zang Ba and Sun Guan of Langye Kingdom (County), who had always obeyed the orders but not the propaganda, now completely disobeyed Tao Qian's orders.
The only county in Xuzhou that could be controlled was Pengcheng, and Tao Qian became the bare commander.
Xuzhou
Guangling County
Chen Feng, who had just helped Tao Qian recover Xiapi County, led his army southward to Guangling County.
Zuo Rong, the leader of the rebels in Guangling, had heard about Chen Feng's deeds, so he did not plan to confront Chen Feng head-on. Instead, he chose to lead 30,000 rebels to close the city and prepare for a protracted war with Chen Feng.
Chen Feng disagreed with this and calmly ordered Cheng Pu: "Cheng Pu, pull over the ten catapults of this governor."
"promise!"
Cheng Pu took the order, and then mobilized his soldiers to quickly pull in ten tall and burly heavy catapults.
These ten catapults were exactly the ten fine catapults given by the system after the Dong Dong discussion was over.
"Reload!"
The soldiers immediately loaded the stones.
"put!"
"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...!"
Ten large rocks like meteors quickly passed over the head and smashed into the rebel city in front of them.
next second
"Bang bang bang bang bang...!"
Sparks flew out of the rebel city wall for a moment, and it began to sag and tilt at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Reload!"
"Put it back!"
"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...!"
After another round of powerful bombardment, the rebel city wall could no longer bear it, and a large hole suddenly opened.
Upon seeing this, Chen Feng immediately ordered: "Zhou Tai!"
"promise!"
Zhou Tai led his thousand Tangjia swordsmen out in response and took the lead in charging towards the large hole in front that was opened by the catapult.
"kill!"
Chen Feng followed closely with 10,000 Yangzhou soldiers.
Tang Jiadao Barracks, as the strongest unit under Chen Feng, its strength is self-evident. After a thousand Tangjia swordsmen crossed the gap in the city wall and entered the city, they easily blocked the rebel attack as if they were in an uninhabited land, buying enough time for Chen Feng and other 10,000 Yangzhou soldiers behind them to pass.
Then, 10,000 Yangzhou soldiers and 30,000 Guangling rebels fought in close combat around the gap in the city wall.
"Ten thousand versus thirty thousand, I have the advantage!"
Chen Feng, who was on Tuxue Wuhen, shouted forward and waved the plum blossom gun in his hand, killing several people along the way. Once again, he took the lead and rushed to the front of the army.
[Ding dong, with an outnumbered enemy, the talent "Champion" is triggered, the force is +3, and the host's force is increased from the superb 98 to the peerless 101. 】
[Ding dong, it is detected that the number of the host's army is less than that of the enemy. The talent "Natural General" is triggered, and the morale of the entire team is increased by 200%. 】
The morale of the 10,000 Yangzhou soldiers suddenly rose sharply, and their combat effectiveness soared rapidly. The originally 50-50 situation instantly turned into a unilateral massacre that crushed the opponent.
The rebel soldiers, whose equipment was not as sophisticated as the Yangzhou Army's and whose willpower was not as firm as the Yangzhou Army's, lost all fighting spirit after seeing their companions fall one after another, and they scattered and fled for their lives.
In the final battle to suppress the rebels in Guangling, Chen Feng's army ended in a great victory with only three-digit casualties, killing the rebel leader Zuo Rong, annihilating more than 7,000 enemies, and capturing more than 20,000 people.
After the victory, Chen Feng asked Huang Gai to lead 3,000 Yangzhou soldiers to temporarily stay in Guangling to wait for Tao Qian to send a new governor to govern.
Chen Feng and the other soldiers returned to Pengcheng, Xuzhou.
Pengcheng
Chen Feng led the Yangzhou army into the city in triumph. After learning about the battle at Xiapi Guangling, the people of Xuzhou couldn't help but admire General Chen. Many people came to watch and greet him.
Not far from the street, a maid looked at the general riding a white horse who was walking at the front of the Yangzhou army on the street. She couldn't help but said to a gorgeous woman beside her: "Miss, that is Chen from Yangzhou." Governor, General Chen?"
"Probably." The woman was also a little unsure.
The maid said: "He looks so young! He is also very handsome. I am a perfect match for you, Miss."
The woman's cheeks turned red slightly when she heard this: "Xiaobai, what are you talking about? He is a powerful hero, how can I, an unworldly little girl, be worthy of him?"
"Why is this not worthy?" Xiaobai, the maid, immediately encouraged her young lady: "In Xiaobai's heart, young lady, you are the fairy who is as beautiful as a fairy. Of course, a fairy is worthy of a hero."
"Xiao Bai~!" The woman shyly shouted at Xiao Bai.
"Okay, I won't say it anymore." Xiaobai said this, but the next second he couldn't help but said to the woman: "But miss, if you like it, you can ask the young master to help raise the issue in front of General Chen. Let me talk about this... maybe it can be done?
My grandma’s grandma once said that if you like someone, you should be bold enough to chase her, and happiness must be grasped by yourself~"
The woman turned her head and glared at Xiaobai fiercely.
"Miss, I was wrong. I won't say anything anymore. I really won't say anything anymore." Xiaobai immediately covered his mouth to show that he would stop talking nonsense.
The woman knew the character of her maid Xiaobai, so she did not blame Xiaobai. Then her eyes with eyes full of autumn water involuntarily drifted towards the white-horse general on the street.
Xiaobai's previous words seemed to have penetrated into her heart: If you like...should you boldly pursue it...
After Chen Feng led his army to quell the rebellion in Xiapi and Guangling counties, Tao Qian went to Chang'an to worship Chen Feng as the general against the bandits (general with various titles).
Don't underestimate this miscellaneous general. Although he has no real power, a miscellaneous general is also a general and can appoint military generals by himself.
For example, Zhonglang Jiang (the status is below the general and above the school captain) and the school captain can be appointed by themselves.
The local military officials in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were roughly as follows from bottom to top:
County Lieutenant (the highest military commander of a county, who can be directly appointed by the local county magistrate.)
Duwei (the highest military commander of a county can be directly appointed by the local governor. This official position is also found in the army.)
Xiaowei (an military official position with power above the captain and below the lieutenant general, can be directly appointed by the general.)
Zhonglangjiang (the power is above that of the captain, but below that of the general, and can be directly appointed by the general.)
Above the Zhonglang General, there are generals (generals, generals, hussars generals, generals who conquer Si'an, Siping, Four Towns, and four miscellaneous brands, etc.). The position of general can only be appointed by the emperor, or with the consent of the emperor. .)
Previously, Chen Feng was just a governor, and could only appoint some assistant officers in the governor's office. He could not appoint military officers. In theory, Sun Ce's post of governor was already a bit of an out-of-bounds appointment.
But now, it’s different. Chen Feng, who had the title of General of Dang Kou, immediately appointed Zhou Tai, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai, who were following him on this expedition, as Generals of the Dian Army Zhonglang, Zuo Army Generals, and General Zhonglang of the right army.
The three of them were also very happy after receiving the reward. Compared to before, at least they now have a prestigious official position.
[Ding dong, it’s been detected that the host’s subordinate Zhou Tai’s loyalty has changed, from 81 to 90 loyal. 】
[Ding dong, it’s been detected that the host’s Zuojun Zhonglang general Cheng Pu’s loyalty has changed, from 60 to 79. 】
[Ding dong, it’s been detected that the host’s right army commander Huang Gai’s loyalty has changed, from 60 to 78. 】
