Chapter 334 Let’s go and join Dong Zhuo~~~
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, bandits were rampant.

When a woman gets married, she usually needs adequate guards to protect her.

When the Hedong Wei family married Cai Yan, they naturally took safety issues into consideration.

They sent out more than ten elite cavalry slaves to greet them, and because of the reputation of the Wei family in Hedong, ordinary people did not dare to provoke them.

But these cavalry slaves were killed along the way by some unknown powerful person.

Cai Yan's journey was delayed while she was waiting for the guards. She met the Baibo bandits who were out looting and was abducted back to the old camp.

In other words, Xu Huang was knowledgeable. After learning of his identity, he did not enjoy the gift, but instead planned to use the gift to exchange for money and food.

But the person who went to the Wei family to deliver the letter came back covered in dust.

"The Wei family said that the Cai family's daughter was trapped in a den of thieves and had no face to marry into the Wei family. They didn't give her money or food, and they didn't want her."

Hearing this, Chen Ran immediately turned and looked at Cai Yan.

There was no expression on Cai Yan's little face, as if she had already known this would be the outcome.

Xu Huang had once worked as a county official, so he knew something about these things.

He whispered to Chen Ran, "My Lord, the Wei family is a noble family and they care about their reputation. The Cai family girl's family background is not good enough, so it's natural that this is the case."

The gentry are the so-called scholarly families, the entry-level members of the aristocratic families.

The family's reputation is naturally far above everything else.

Just like the Yuan family, which has three generations of officials, their family reputation is more valuable than gold.

Cai Yan suffered because her father Cai Yong fell into misfortune due to factional struggles and had been on the run for more than ten years, with no strong support.

If Cai Yan was born in the Yuan family, not to mention being trapped in a den of thieves, even if she went to the Wei family with twins, the Wei family would have to accept her with a pinch of their nose.

"If you don't give it, don't give it."

Chen Ran didn't really care. "What are your plans, young lady? Are you going to look for Mr. Cai?"

Cai Yan lowered her eyes slightly and said, "I don't know where my father is."

She wanted to go back to find her father, but unfortunately Cai Yong was in exile and she didn't know where he was now.

In fact, Cai Yong had to wait until Dong Zhuo came to power in the court before he was pardoned and allowed to return to the court.

Counting the days, it’s not too far away.

"In that case, young lady, please follow me for now. When we find Cai Yilang's whereabouts, we will send you to find your relatives."

Cai Yan had no other choice.

She doesn't know where her father is and her fiancé doesn't want her. What else can she do?

Do you want to run away by yourself?
Don't joke. If she dared to run away on her own, she would be pinned down on the bed by some unknown thief or commoner before dark.

Chen Ran looked at Xu Huang and said, "Gather everyone. I want to call up the troops."

Xu Huang had a large number of men under his command, as many as five or six thousand.

But there are not many truly young and strong people, only two or three thousand, and the rest are their families.

After Chen Ran inspected the soldiers, he was somewhat satisfied with the quality of the young and strong men.

It is obvious that these young and strong men have received certain military training and are not the indifferent farmers like those in the late Ming Dynasty.

In terms of military strategy, the Han Dynasty used the strategy of "hiding troops among the people".

The common people are soldiers, and the soldiers are the common people.

All young and middle-aged people must serve in the military and receive military training. It can be said that as long as a man is a reserve force.

It is also because of this that when the world was in chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the nomadic tribes were always in a state of suppression.

After all, facing hundreds of millions of men who have received military training, any nomadic tribe will have to take a beating.

It was not until the Sima family "let their horses go in the southern mountains and put their swords and guns into the warehouse" and the Eight Kings Rebellion, when they colluded with outsiders to attack their own people, that the nomadic tribes had the opportunity to truly invade Middle-earth.

When reviewing the troops, Xu Huang officially announced to everyone that Chen Ran would become the commander of his army.

'Xu Huang's modification has been completed, and rewards are now being issued.'

'Distribute 100,000 servings of green pepper and shredded pork rice.'

Chen Ran'（︶︿︶）'

Your reward is so weird. How many years will it take me to finish it?
If you eat it alone, you will definitely get tired of it, but if thousands of people eat it together, it will not be enough.

On the first day of officially taking over the military power, Chen Ran treated everyone to a meal with rice and toppings.

Although everyone had never seen green peppers, they knew meat.

As for rice, many people have not eaten it for a long time.

After a meaty rice bowl was served, everyone immediately offered Chen Ran their respects, expressing their determination to follow General Chen and serve him at his beck and call.

Cai Yan also ate one portion.

What she was curious about was where did these things come from?

Chen Ran will not explain to anyone, if you want to eat, eat, if you don't want to eat, get out~~~
"My lord." Xu Huang stepped forward and reported nervously, "Yang Feng learned about what happened here and has raised tens of thousands of troops to attack us."

Chen Ran was not in a hurry, so he simply asked, "How is the combat strength of Yang Feng's troops?"

"It's not much different from the headquarters."

"That's fine."

Chen Ran stood up and instructed, "Food, property, horses, livestock, etc., are all scattered in the camp. The old and weak retreat into the forest, and the young and strong follow me to ambush on the side."

Yang Feng was going to attack Xu Huang who had betrayed him.

He claimed to have raised tens of thousands of troops to attack, but in reality, even if he had so many people, he couldn't bring them all. More than half of the old and weak were still in the camp, and the forces to protect the old and weak and to guard against other forces had to stay behind.

In the end, there were only about four or five thousand young and strong people who followed.

When these people arrived at the front of the valley, they saw the camp gate was wide open. Confused, they sent people in, and soon learned that everyone inside had already fled, leaving only supplies on the ground.

Everyone immediately rushed forward and started snatching things.

In order to rob property, they even drew their knives and hacked at each other.

Yang Feng had no way to control it.

Even the imperial army could not avoid such things, let alone the mob under his command.

The only thing we can do is to wait until we have robbed enough and then reorganize.

At this moment, Xu Huang personally led hundreds of warriors recruited with three servings of rice, rushed out from the ambush in the camp, hacking and killing everywhere, and shouting all kinds of words to disrupt the morale of the army and cause chaos.

Yang Feng, who was outside, heard the deafening shouting and screaming in the camp and immediately sent people in to provide support.

When the troops were being mobilized in a chaotic manner, Chen Ran led the young and strong men to charge from behind, and immediately frightened Yang Feng's troops and put them in chaos.

"Don't panic! There aren't many of them!"

Yang Feng, on horseback, tried his best to control the troops that were in chaos.

However, the situation of being ambushed from the front and back is unclear. At this time, unless you are elite, anyone will be in chaos.

When Yang Feng, sweating profusely, was busy tidying up his troops, he saw a horse riding fast, sweeping everything in front of it like a sharp blade cutting meat, and heading straight towards him.

Sensing danger, he immediately stepped forward with his spear in hand to fight.

Even if you want to survive in the Han army, you must have enough military force to win the support of the people.

People like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao actually have good personal combat abilities.

This is even more so among the rebel army.

If he didn't have enough fighting power, he would have been killed long ago.

Yang Feng’s fighting skills are not low and he has enough confidence in himself, so he chooses to fight head-on.

then
The horses of both sides met each other at full speed, and Yang Feng was stabbed to death in just one encounter!
"Yang Feng is dead, those who surrender will not be killed~~~"

Chen Ran called on everyone to shout, and the situation on the battlefield had become one-sided.

In the battle to clear the battlefield, only a few hundred people were actually killed. After all, Yang Feng's troops were in chaos and were busy fleeing everywhere.

There were as many as two or three thousand prisoners, and the rest all escaped.

Xu Huang was very happy, "My Lord, let's attack Yang Feng's old camp."

In his opinion, the next step should be to annex Yang Feng's troops, and then annex the various groups of the Baibo bandits.

But Chen Ran simply shook his head and reminded him, "Your vision is not high, and it is limited to this place in Hedong and Taiyuan. You should open your eyes and see the world and take a good look at the world's trends."

Xu Huang was completely confused.

He was just a minor official in the county before. He was not from a prominent family, nor was he a member of the Liu clan. He was certainly not at the top of the list of foreign relatives or eunuchs.

Later, he joined the Baibo Army and just stayed in Hedong County. He didn't have the time to see the outside world.

"The emperor is dead, a new emperor has ascended the throne, the court is in turmoil, something big is going to happen."

Xu Huang was still puzzled. The affairs of the imperial court were all about aristocratic families, children of officials, eunuchs and relatives of the emperor. What did they have to do with us?
Chen Ran did not explain much, and simply asked, "Do you know where the governor of Bingzhou is?"

Xu Huang knew that "I heard that the troops were stationed in the Anyi area."

"it is good."

Chen Ran smiled and said, "We will organize our troops and supplies and go to Bingzhou Mu."

The so-called Bingzhou refers to Hetao, Yunzhong, Taiyuan, Shangdang and other places.

The current governor of Bingzhou is the world-famous hero, Dong Zhuo.

That’s right, before becoming the Grand Tutor, Dong Zhuo was indeed a famous hero throughout the world.

After suppressing the rebellion in Xiliang, Dong Zhuo was stabbed twice by Huangfu Song and had to leave his base in Xiliang and go to Bingzhou to take office with only a few thousand of his loyal confidants.

However, when he learned that the emperor was seriously ill, he immediately stayed in Hedong to observe the situation and no longer set out for Bingzhou.

At the beginning, he just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get some benefits, preferably to be transferred back to Xiliang.

Unexpectedly, the Yuan family, which had already made up its mind to replace the Han Dynasty, chose Dong Zhuo to be the dirty knife.

Yuan Shao, in his personal capacity, and General He Jin, under the order of the imperial court, dispatched Dong Zhuo's troops to Luoyang.

The origin of all this was apparently the Rebellion of the Ten Eunuchs.

The new emperor was young and power was in the hands of Empress Dowager He.

Empress Dowager He's brother, He Jin, who was also a relative of the Empress Dowager, became the general.

This can be considered a tradition of the Han Dynasty.

But He Jin came from a butcher's family, so there was no way he could outsmart those people from aristocratic families.

He Jin and the Ten Eunuchs vied for power. Under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, the two sides gradually became hostile to each other.

In Cao Cao's words, "Just send the soldiers into the palace and kill them all. Why recruit foreign troops into the capital?"

But Yuan Shao disagreed, and instead suggested inviting Dong Zhuo to kill him.

On the surface, there were of course high-sounding reasons, but in reality, the Yuan family saw through the decline of the Liu family and wanted to take the opportunity to replace them.

At this time, Dong Zhuo, who was regarded as a dirty knife by the Yuan family, was at his lowest point in strength. He had only a few thousand soldiers and horses around him, and was short of food and money.

When he learned that a Baibo general named Chen Ran, with a courtesy name of Zihou, was coming to surrender with thousands of young and strong men carrying a large amount of baggage, he was overjoyed and even took the initiative to go out to meet them twenty miles away!
