Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

As soon as Cao Cao gave the order to move out the whole army, the spies in charge of monitoring the movement of the Northern Zheng Army rushed back to report: "My lord, the [-] people from the camp outside the city of the Northern Zheng Army have already moved out! Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng's troops also Let's break camp and set off together!"

Cao Cao was startled when he heard this, and quickly asked, "Are they coming towards us?"

Unexpectedly, the scout shook his head and said, "No, the [-] troops of the Beibei Army and Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng all went north, but they stopped outside the north gate of Luoyang."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, the opponent's actions were completely different from what he had imagined! "What's going on here? What does Chen Chu want to do?" While speaking, Cao Cao naturally turned his gaze to Guo Jia. [

Guo Jia frowned tightly, and he couldn't figure out what was going on with the other party's actions.

"My lord, the current situation is unclear. It is better for our army to stand still." Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao nodded, and then ordered: "Order all the battalions to guard the gates of the village, and at the same time closely monitor every move of the Northern Army."

In the city, the [-] Northern Conscript Army had already assembled, and then they marched to the north gate in a neat formation under the leadership of Chen Chu and his generals.

At this time, the people in Luoyang City knew that Chen Chu and his Northern Expedition Army were leaving Luoyang.Under the deliberate guidance of someone with a heart, the common people believed that Chen Chu compromised with the aggressive Kanto princes because he did not want to see the common people in Luoyang suffer from the war.The people were very moved by this, and at the same time hated the princes of the Guandong even more.

Before, due to the bad performance of the soldiers of the Guandong princes in Luoyang City, the common people had already harbored grudges against the Guandong princes, but Chen Chu's army was in the hearts of the people because of its strict military discipline and punishing the soldiers of the Guandong princes who harmed the people. Made an excellent impression.

Now Chen Chu would rather endure the humiliation by himself in order to protect the people from the disaster of war, while the princes of the Kwantung came to take over Luoyang without making any achievements in the crusade against Dong Zhuo.Many people were aggrieved for Chen Chu, and they all very much hoped that Chen Chu could continue to stay, at worst, a war would be enough!

The people are actually very easy to be satisfied, as long as you meet their basic requirements, they will be willing to lay waste to you.

However, not all people think this way.There were still many people in Luoyang City who were ecstatic when they heard the news that Chen Chu was leaving.The vast majority of them are the gentry class.

After receiving the exact news that the Beibei Army was leaving Luoyang, many gentry were preparing to celebrate.In fact, the reason why the gentry didn't like Chen Chu was not because Chen Chu did something unacceptable to them, but mainly because Chen Chu was not from a wealthy family, which was some inexplicable reason.

When Chen Chu first entered Luoyang, in order to firmly control Luoyang, although the law was strictly enforced, he also implemented some measures that were very beneficial to the gentry class.But because of Chen Chu's birth, the noble class basically dismissed Chen Chu.This became the internal reason why Chen Chu decided to give up Luoyang.

The common people surrounded both sides of the street, crowing and birding.Watching the Zhengbei army with a strict military appearance slowly leave, many people showed a look of reluctance.

Chen Chu rode on the horse and led the army to the north gate. At this time, the north gate was crowded with people. Chen Chu and his soldiers couldn't move forward at all, so they had to stop temporarily.

At this moment, an old man suddenly knelt down in front of him and shouted that he wanted to see General Zhengbei.After Chen Chu learned of the situation, he quickly asked someone to bring him up.

The old man was dry and thin, his back was a bit staggered, and his beard and hair were all white.

"Old man, you want to see me, but is there something to do?" Chen Chu asked pleasantly.

The old man didn't answer right away, and suddenly knelt down, "General, we know that you are willing to surrender to those Kanto princes for us people! You don't have to do this, if the Kanto princes dare to use force, even if you are old, you are willing to fight this old bone Help the general defend the city!" The old man was very excited, his eyes were a little red.

Before Chen Chu could react, the people around him knelt down together, "General, please stay!"

Then there was silence where a needle could be heard.Everyone looked at Chen Chu longingly, hoping that he would nod. [

All the soldiers and counselors under Chen Chu's command were so moved that they couldn't help themselves. Everyone was proud of being a member of the North Zheng Army and following under the command of the North Zheng General Chen Chu.

Chen Chu was also very moved, and at the same time felt guilty and helpless.

Chen Chu got off the horse and came to the old man, and helped the old man up.Looking at the old and longing face in front of him, Chen Chu really didn't know what to say.

Chen Chu sighed, "Why are you doing this, old man?" Then he looked around and said loudly, "Everyone, get up and listen to me."

The people looked at each other, and then stood up one after another.

"If our army doesn't leave today, we will definitely fight with the princes of the Guandong in Luoyang. This will definitely make the people of Luoyang miserable. This is what I don't want to see. Besides, the coalition forces of the princes outside Luoyang City are also the Han army. How can I just because of a little Let's fight against them because of differences!"

"I'm afraid that after the general leaves, those princes won't treat us people as human beings!" A young man in the crowd shouted.

"You don't have to worry about this. The person who came to take over Luoyang is Yuan Shao with a prominent family background. Yuan Shao's ancestors have four generations and three fathers. I believe he will love the people like a son."

Seeing that Chen Chu had a certain idea of ​​leaving, the people didn't say anything more.The old man served the jar of wine he had prepared, and said with a choked voice, "General, since you have to leave out of consideration for the overall situation, how can we stop us! We poor people have nothing to sell, we just want home-brewed wine An altar, express your heart, and please don't dislike the general!"

Chen Chu solemnly took the small jar of wine offered by the old man with both hands.Immediately, he slapped the mud seal open, raised his head and drank booze.Xu Shuju was shocked when he saw this, if the other party poisoned the wine with evil intentions, what should he do!Ju Shou hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but Xu Shu held him back. Even if there was a problem, it would be too late by now, and it would also spoil the current atmosphere.

Chen Chu drank the small jar of wine in one breath, then laughed and said, "Hahaha, what a good wine!"

An inexplicable emotion surged in everyone's hearts, and they knelt down together and said, "Congratulations to the general!" The scene was spectacular and touching.

Chen Chu let out a long sigh, stepped on his horse again, and led all the soldiers straight out of the north gate.Chen Chu made up his mind secretly: I, Chen Chu, will definitely come back! ! ~!
