Along the way, he carefully recalled his guesses, and Lin Nan felt that his guesses were roughly the truth of the matter. After returning to the official residence, Lin Nan immediately called the four of Badun, Liu Fang, Sun Li, and Xu Miao, and immediately ordered: "If there is a big chaos today, Dong Zhuo has entered Beijing with 200,000 Liangzhou soldiers, and now can be described as an extraordinary period." Badun, you quickly go to Shanggu to replace Zhao Yun, and lead the five thousand soldiers and horses of Shanggu to garrison the area of the Great Wall. Liu Fang, you go to Daijun to inform Zhang He, let him lead troops to garrison various Great Wall fortresses, and stay there to assist Zhang He in guarding Yudaijun. Xu Miao, you go to Zhuo County, let Tai Shi Ci bring all the 5,000 soldiers and horses back to Jicheng, and you will stay in Zhuo County and replace Tai Shi Ci as Tai Shou. ”

"No!" The three of them, Badun, Xu Miao, and Liu Fang, replied together.

Seeing that he had no task on him, Sun Li took the initiative to ask, "Lord, what about me?" ”

"You hurry up and go to Changli County, let Qiu Liju be the Taishou of Changli, let him select 50,000 strong Wuhuan Tu cavalry, and send 5,000 cavalry to Shanggu and Daijun, obey the dispatch of Jian and Zhang He, and let Wu Lideng lead 10,000 cavalry to assist Xian Yu to defend Yuyang. In addition, let Nanlou go to Shanggu and Badun to guard Shanggu together, Shanggu where he is more familiar, and then let Qiu Liju send 30,000 horsemen to garrison Yangcheng, and Pang De will replace Jia Xu to guard Yangcheng, you will assist Pang De to stay in Yangcheng, and at the same time let Xun You, Jia Xu, and Huaxiong rush to Jicheng within half a month. There has been no rain for the past two months, you take the coastal road to Changli, and at the same time let people tell Tian Feng and Hu Yu to guard Liaodong and Lelang County. It's a long way to Changli, you just came back and let you go, it's really hard for you, you should set off now. Lin Nan walked to Sun Li's side, patted Sun Li's shoulder, and said heavily.

After Sun Li listened, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was really heavy, and he had to run so far all at once. But he didn't refuse, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the subordinates will change horses and not people, and strive to arrive in Changli in a short time." ”

Lin Nan nodded and said, "Okay, you all hurry up and do it." ”

The voice fell. The four of them, Badun, Xu Miao, Liu Fang, and Sun Li, immediately left Lin Nan's official residence, mounted their horses, and went to convey Lin Nan's orders.

At this time, Lou Ban walked over, he heard Lin Nan's words, and he could also feel the anxiety on Lin Nan's face, so he comforted: "Lord, from Jicheng to the counties, it will take a day at the earliest, so don't be too anxious." The sweat on his face was oozing out. ”

Lin Nanchong smiled at the building class and said, "It seems that I didn't teach you in vain, and I will actually feel sorry for people." Half a month later, I will go to Chenliu with the state pastor, you will stay here to read and write, and if you don't understand something, you will ask some teachers in the city and ask for advice. It's called ......"

"Don't be ashamed to ask." Lou Ban smiled and caught the conversation.

Lin Nandao: "Very good, apply what you have learned." You are really smart, in a few years, when your father is old, I will let you serve as the Shan Yu of the Wuhuan people, and use what you have learned to govern the Wuhuan people. ”

Lou Ban hesitated slightly, and said lightly: "Shan Yu has always been a strong man. My eldest brother is quite strategic, and I'm afraid that others won't choose me to be Shan Yu. ”

Lin Nan shook his head and said, "You were born in Qiu Liju's main room, although Badun is the eldest son, he is never the son-in-law. Besides, I will also do my best to help you ascend to the position of Shan Yu, and he will follow my army in the future, and I will not let him return to Wuhuan again. Now that Wuhuan has all been merged together, all the clans are happy, your father has also ascended to the position of Shan Yu, and he is the Taishou of Changli County, General Yinglie, you have to work hard, and his position in the future will be yours. ”

Lou Ban said gratefully: "Thank you for the grace of the lord, I will definitely do my best to study hard in the past few years, and I will live up to the lord's expectations of me in the future." ”

Lin Nan said: "Well, it's good to understand, let's go study, I'm going to inspect the city." ”

"No!"

Two days later, Gongsun Zhan led 4,000 white horse servants and 6,000 elite infantry to Jicheng, only took a picture with Lin Nan and Liu Yu, and then left Youzhou with the troops and went to Chenliu.

On the third day, Zhao Yun came to Jicheng on a single horse, and Tai Shi Ci also led five thousand cavalry back to Jicheng, and after Lin Nan personally greeted him, he asked them to join forces with the soldiers and horses he left in Jicheng, and let Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci each command five thousand cavalry and conduct necessary training.

After another two days, Liu Bei, who already seemed to be too guarded in Liaoxi, came to Jicheng with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tian Yu, Jian Yong and two thousand soldiers and horses. Liu Yu personally met Liu Bei and asked Lin Nan to accompany him.

At the banquet, Liu Yu held the cup in both hands, raised it high, and said loudly: "After the rebellion of the Wuhuan people in Liaoxi, the population has dropped a lot, and the original land in Liaoxi has been divided into Changli County, so Liaoxi is narrow and has few people. Since Xuande took office, it has been really hard for you. ”

Before Liu Bei could answer, he heard Zhang Fei catch the conversation, and said with a big grin: "Where the bird doesn't, there are really a lot of people, so it's strange that I don't have a hard time managing the long history of Liaoning!" ”

"Third brother!" Liu Bei reprimanded softly, "Don't be rude in front of the king!" ”

Zhang Fei took a sip of stuffy wine and stopped talking.

When Liu Yu heard this, he laughed, and immediately asked, "Xuande, who is this strong man?" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly apologized and said: "Let the envoy smile, this is the sworn brother under the bottom, surnamed Zhang Mingfei, the word Yide." ”

Liu Yu looked at Zhang Fei, and saw Zhang Fei's leopard head ringed around his eyes, his face was bearded, his eyes were bright, and his broad chest showed a little chest hair, so he nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Xuande has this righteous brother, it is indeed a blessing." ”

Lin Nan sat next to Liu Yu, glanced at Zhang Fei, who didn't care and drank by himself, and then at Guan Yu, who was sitting next to Zhang Fei with Mount Tai and a red face and long beard squinting at Danfeng's eyes, and said to Liu Yu: "My lord, Zhang Yide is a 10,000-strong enemy, sitting next to him is Guan Yu, the word cloud is long, and Zhang Yide is also equal in kung fu, and he can be described as a very rare talent." Now that the adults are going to Chen Liuhuimeng, there are indispensable talents under the account, so it is better to let the two of them stand beside the adults, in front of the heroes of the world, and show the bravery of our Youzhou soldiers. ”

After Liu Yu heard this, his heart was very touched, and a smile appeared on his face, but then he shook his head again. said to Lin Nan: "Ziyu, although the old man is a person who loves talents, he can't take away the beauty of others." ”

"My lord is too worried, Liu Xuande is now the Taishou of Liaoxi, Guan Yu is the master of Liaoxi, and Zhang Fei is the long history of Liaoxi. The adult is a Youzhou pastor. is also the great Sima of the court of the fake Jieyue, and all the officials in Youzhou naturally become the subordinates of the adults. Although Liu Guanzhang is the brother of Jin Lan, as the saying goes, there is no banquet in the world, and brothers do not necessarily have to stay together all day, and the husband of the man should make contributions. Isn't it also a chance for adults to keep Guan Yu and Zhang Fei by their side to listen to them. I think that Xuande, as the elder brother of the two, will definitely hope that his brother will have a good future and not hinder it. Lin Nan first said something to Liu Yu. Then he turned his head to Liu Bei and said, "Brother Xuande, do you say what I said is right?" ”

Liu Bei's city was quite deep, and Rao heard Lin Nan's intention to separate him, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and his face did not show a little displeasure, but admitted: "What General Lin said is that adults can keep Yun Chang and Yide by their side to listen to them, and it is also a kind of cultivation for the two of them." I, as an elder brother, naturally won't stop it. ”

Liu Yu listened. Said happily: "That's really good, the old man's side is the lack of such a fierce general, although the old man already has Ziyu, but after seeing Guan and Zhang today, the old man's heart is very surging." Dong Zhuo was born in Liangzhou and has a martial arts strategy. If you want to kill him, you must have fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, not to mention that there are many Liangzhou generals under Dong Zhuo's account, and when the princes will join the alliance, it is also the time when the heroes are famous all over the world. Xuande. I heard that you are also a member of the Han family, I wonder if this rumor is true? ”

As soon as Liu Bei heard this, he immediately came to his senses, nodded, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiyu, after the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and King Jing of Zhongshan, what he has flowed on his body is indeed the blood of the royal family, but it is a pity that his family is in the middle of the road and is forced to sell his shoes for a living......

Everyone wanted to cry when they saw Liu Bei talking and talking, and they all sighed with emotion. Only Lin Nan muttered in his heart: "This Liu Bei is really good at acting, I must play him to death!" ”

The banquet continued, and the originally celebratory banquet instantly became the old Liu family's confession meeting, Liu Yu and Liu Bei began to talk about the family tree, and after several checks, Liu Yu was actually Liu Bei's uncle. Soon the uncle and nephew began to talk about the Han Dynasty, the two of them said a word, I said a word, telling about the worry about the Han, and before they knew it, both of them shed tears, and the uncle and nephew directly hugged their heads and cried.

Except for Lin Nan, the rest of the people present were moved to tears. Lin Nan simply wiped his face with some boiled water with his fingers, and pretending to be better than being told for a while that he didn't have the heart to worry about the country and the people.

Lin Nan watched Liu Bei's hearty performance, and almost didn't vomit out what he ate, for him, Liu Bei is the most pretentious person, a bit sanctimonious. He once thought about letting his subordinates assassinate Liu Bei, but in normal times, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei always followed Liu Bei, even if it was Zhao Yun, a gold medal assassination master under his account, he rarely found a suitable opportunity to attack, so he could only borrow a knife to kill, or try to separate Liu Bei from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"My lord, this is a banquet!" Lin Nan walked up to Liu Yu and whispered.

Liu Yu immediately understood, wiped his tears, smiled at Liu Bei, and then continued the topic just now, and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande Xian nephew, this time the alliance, Gongsun Chan has already taken the first step, and Ziyu and I will also rush to Youzhou, Youzhou cannot be taken care of by anyone, I want to ask you to stay in Youzhou and take care of Youzhou for me." I took Ziyu and his army, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Chenliu Huimeng, I don't know what you think? ”

As soon as Lin Nan heard this, he came to the spirit, this is clearly to break up Liu Guanzhang, he was wishful thinking in his heart, once Liu Bei agreed, he sent Zhao Yun to assassinate Liu Bei, and finally put the responsibility on the Xianbei people. As soon as he thought of this, his heart swelled with blood.

Liu Bei thought for a while, and immediately replied: "Uncle's orders to the nephew should be followed, but the nephew is also worried about His Majesty, and he also wants to go to the Chen Liuhui League with his uncle to do his part in the crusade against Dong Zhuo." Moreover, my nephew heard that General Lin had already arranged the border defense of Youzhou very well, and even if no one was left to govern the army with General Lin, his subordinates would not make any mistakes. So the nephew could only refuse his uncle's kindness. ”

Lin Nan's originally happy mood suddenly plummeted, and he said slowly: "It seems that it will take a lot of effort to kill Liu Bei......"

Liu Yu said: "Well, what you said is not bad, Ziyu has already arranged it properly." Then I don't need to draw snakes. In this way, Xuande, you lead your subordinates to go with us to the Huimeng, and when all Ziyu's subordinates are gathered, we will set off. ”

Liu Bei said "promise" and arched his hand towards Liu Yu.

After another moment. The banquet dispersed, and Liu Bei left the state pastor's mansion with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tian Yu, and Jian Yong, and stationed outside the city. Lin Nan helped the drunken Liu Yu and walked towards the back hall.

"Ziyu, what do you think of Xuande's whole person?" Liu Yu asked softly as he walked crookedly.

Lin Nan didn't know what Liu Yu meant by this sudden question, but he was still very careful and replied, "I have only had a few encounters with Xuande, and I don't know much about it. ”

Liu Yu smiled: "Ziyu deceived me!" ”

Lin Nan listened. Immediately said: "Even if the lower official has ten guts, he will not dare to deceive the adult, and please ask the adult to be clear." ”

Liu Yu said: "You don't have to be so nervous, I don't mean to blame you." Although I recognized Xuande as a nephew, but I have read countless people in my life, Xuande's joy and anger are invisible, just at the banquet I carefully observed, Xuande is very deep in the city. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are his brothers-in-law. I've heard people say that the three brothers eat and sleep together, and they are almost inseparable. And judging from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two of them also have deep feelings for Xuande. Just when I asked Xuande for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Guan Zhang and Zhang both had a look of disgruntle, but on the other hand, Xuande was as calm as water, this kind of person is incomprehensible, and this kind of person is often a person with great ambition. ”

After Lin Nan listened. With a sigh of relief, he said, "My lord's analysis is extremely correct. ”

Liu Yu said: "Ziyu, Xuande and Gongsun Chan are very close, Gongsun Chan has always been quite critical to me, I am worried that he is the person sent by Gongsun Chan to be placed by my side." You'll have to pay more attention to it in the future. Since Guan Zhang and the others are all enemies, they should pay more attention to it, only God knows this, you know me, understand? ”

Lin Nan sighed, and thought in his heart: "It seems that Liu Yu is still a waste, and he still knows how to beware of people, but it seems that he is wrong to be on guard, and the person who is really a threat to you is me." If it weren't for the fact that I was taking advantage of you, I would have kicked you away a long time ago. Maybe I'm a little cold, but if I wasn't, how would I be alive now? Kill the Liangzhou Assassin History, the Han General, the Jizhou Assassin History, the Ten Standing Servants, and even the Dog Emperor was killed by me, what else do I dare not do now? ”

After sending Liu Yu back to his home, Lin Nan also returned to the official residence, and after lying down, he looked forward to the arrival of Jia Xu, Xun You, and Huaxiong, and then they could go to Chen Liuhuimeng, and take advantage of this opportunity to truly become famous in the world.

In the next few days, everything was in order, and Liu Yu was actively preparing the grain and grass for the troops. This time, Liu Yu himself led 10,000 newly recruited infantry, together with Lin Nan's 10,000 cavalry and Liu Bei's 2,000 infantry, to meet the alliance, and he had to prepare at least half a year's grain and grass, because he himself was not sure how long this battle would last, and whether he could expel Dong Zhuo smoothly.

On the sixth day of the seventh month, it was madly hot. As soon as the sun came out, the earth was like a fire. Some gray gases that look like clouds but not clouds, like fog and not fog, float low in the air, making people feel breathless. The willow trees in the street seemed to be sick, and their leaves hung with layers of dust and curled on the branches, and the branches did not bother to move, and hung listlessly.

There was not a single point of water on the official road, it was dry and glowing with some white light, and layers of heat waves rose on the ground, and the dust flew high, connecting with the gray gas in the sky, forming a vicious gray sand array, burning the faces of pedestrians. Dry everywhere, hot everywhere, stuffy everywhere, the whole Jicheng is like a brick kiln burned through, making people breathless. The dogs crawled on the ground and spat out their red tongues, the nostrils of the mules and horses were so wide that the peddlers did not dare to shout, and even the bronze medals in front of the shops seemed to be sunburned.

It has not rained a drop of rain for almost three months, and the earth has begun to crack in different ways, but fortunately, the farm has passed, and the wheat has been harvested in June. The farmers are waiting for the harvest of their fields, hoping that God will give them a heavy rain to relieve the heat on the ground. Some places have begun to worship the dragon king, worship the dragon king, and pray for rain.

this day. Jia Xu, Xun You, and Hua Xiong finally arrived in Jicheng, three people, three horses, all the way to the dust, all the way to the dust, already sweaty, the scorching sun along the way. It makes all three of them look much darker than before.

At the east gate of Jicheng, Lin Nan would come and wait for a while every day, and today he finally waited for Jia Xu, Xun You, and Hua Xiong. Watching the three people jump off their horses, looking at their chapped lips due to lack of water, immediately made people feel cold.

Jia Xu, Xun You, and Hua Xiong were also not polite, and after paying homage to Lin Nan, they each took the water and drank it happily.

After drinking, Hua Xiong was the first to speak: "It's really happy." The water brought along the way has been drunk, and the rivers on both sides of the road near Jicheng have dried up, but we are really thirsty, but fortunately we arrived today, if we can't catch up again, it is estimated that the lord will not see us in the future. ”

After Jia Xu and Xun You listened, they all laughed.

Lin Nan said: "Come on, don't be poor." You were a day late, and I would have punished you. Seeing how hard you have worked all the way, forget it for now. The army of 22,000 people in Jicheng is waiting for you, see if your face is big? ”

Jia Xu said: "Lord, when I came, there was an accident on the coastal road, and my subordinate mounts fell to the ground and couldn't stand it, so I was helpless. The subordinates could only ride a horse with Gongda, and it was not until after entering Youbeiping that they spent money to change three horses, and we didn't dare to stay, so we ran over non-stop. I didn't think about it. After all, it was still a day late. ”

"Forget it, just come, anyway, there are still more than 20 days for the alliance, from Jicheng to Chenliu, these more than 20 days are enough. You all come with me, Zilong, Ziyi and you haven't seen each other for a long time, let's celebrate today and officially leave for the alliance tomorrow. Lin Nandao.

Xun You asked: "The lord called us here in such a hurry, and we didn't explain the details clearly after listening to Sun Li, what happened and why did we want to meet the alliance?" ”

Lin Nan understands the feelings of Xun You and others very well, who is called Liaodong so far, the road is not easy to walk, and it is in ancient times, there is no more advanced way of information transmission. He immediately told Jia Xu, Xun You, and Hua Xiong about Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing.

When Lin Nan finished speaking, Jia Xu stopped and said to Lin Nan: "Lord, it seems that Dong Zhuo has a capable person under his account, I heard that Dong Zhuo has a son-in-law named Li Ru, who is a wise multi-star, Dong Zhuo can enter Beijing smoothly, and eighty percent of it is he who makes suggestions behind his back." Now that Dong Zhuo is entangled in an army of 200,000, I think there must be a lot of Qianghu among them, in this way, Dong Zhuo's strength should be the most powerful among the princes, and it seems that after Chen Liu's alliance, there will inevitably be a big war. ”

Lin Nandao: "I also expected it a long time ago, so I asked you to come over in time, and all the soldiers you brought with you are elite soldiers, and you must drive Dong Zhuo back to his hometown in Longxi." ”

After Jia Xu and Xun You heard this, they all laughed together, only Hua Xiong was quite worried.

Lin Nan saw Hua Xiong's thoughts and asked: "Dong Zhuo is your old master, if you can't do anything to him, then let Zhao Yun and Tai Shici be the vanguard, you can stay in the army and suppress the formation." ”

Hua Xiong said: "My lord, my subordinates have no such intention, but I was a little surprised, but I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing without the help of my lord." ”

Lin Nan smiled and said, "Maybe we all underestimated his strength, let's go in when we arrive, Zilong and Ziyi are still waiting inside." ”

"No!"

Han calendar, three years of Zhongping.

The successor emperor Liu Wei has never had his own independent era name, and the entire Han Dynasty continues to use the era name of Emperor Ling of Han. It has only been a year and a half since Lin Nan killed Liu Hong, and before he even had time to control the entire Youzhou, the Han dynasty has already begun to be stormy.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, this day should have been the time for the Cowherd to be a weaver girl, and it was also a time to sing praises and praise love.

On this day, 22,000 soldiers and horses from Youzhou gathered outside the gate of Jicheng, Lin Nan led his 10,000 elite cavalry, Xian Yufu led Liu Yu's 10,000 infantry, Liu Bei led his 2,000 infantry, under the unified leadership of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, and drove south.

Lin Nan's cavalry was scattered in the forward and flank positions, on the one hand, responsible for opening the way in front, and on the other hand, protecting him and Liu Yu's safety. Liu Yu arranged all the infantry in the back, let Xian Yufu and Liu Bei lead them respectively, and at the same time was responsible for pulling the grain and grass enough to eat for half a year with mules.

The army marched slowly south, braving the scorching sun. Walking in the scorching sun. There has not been a drop of rain for more than two months, so that the entire northern land has cracked traces, some diving ditches on both sides of the road, have been evaporated not a drop of water, and the water level of the rivers along the way has dropped significantly. The riverbed is easily visible.

The heat demon flickered, making the distant scenery bigger. More than 20,000 soldiers were just as sweaty, and their lips were always dry, and the scorching earth had roasted their heels to the brim. Some of the soldiers' shoes were worn out, and their feet were cracked and bleeding. When the sun was at its peak, even the horses under their seats began to gasp for breath, and sometimes stumble, greatly hindering the advance of the army.

In this case, the army had to stop and go. Avoid the hottest time of the day, and always accumulate water every time you pass a river. Water is the source of life, and for them, it is the most needed thing.

Midsummer was a difficult day, an oppressive, hot and unforgiving silence, stretched across the earth, in the yellow smoke of the sky, in the peatlands and in the woods. Fires everywhere. Along the way, I traveled south along the official road, and basically did not meet anyone during the day. Probably to escape the heat, and hid at home.

When you rest, it's quiet. The leaves trembled gently in the sunlight, a thin layer of water vapor drifted through the air, and bewildered flies swirled and buzzed. Like a big organ, I like the summer heat the most, and I scream vigorously.

Lin Nan was also sweating profusely, and although he was sitting in the shade of a tree, he always felt that there was a sun baking directly above his head. His scalp was tingling and he was upset. He turned his head to look at Liu Yu beside him, the sweat oozing from his face dripped down his gray beard, and just dripped to the ground, it became dry in an instant. He arched his hand towards Liu Yu and said, "My lord, it's only been two days, and the weather is so hot, if you continue like this, I'm afraid many people will suffer from heat stroke." ”

Liu Yu is already nearly fifty years old, and in that era when people are not particularly long-lived, fifty years old can already be called an old man. Fortunately, Liu Yu's body is tough enough, and he has developed the habit of exercising in Youzhou all year round, at least much healthier than the average pampered noble. He wiped the sweat from his face, he was able to resist the heat, and looked around at the surrounding soldiers, most of them took off their armor, and the clothes they were wearing were already soaked with sweat. He sighed and asked, "The old man has never encountered such hot weather in his life, the weather has been so hot since May, and not a drop of rain has fallen in the sky until now, it seems that this year is a year of great drought." Such unusual weather, does it also confirm the catastrophe of the Han Dynasty? ”

Lin Nandao: "There is a vision in the sky, whether it is the catastrophe of the Han Dynasty or not, we, as the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, must contribute to the Han Dynasty." Xia Guan thought that the date of the alliance was getting closer and closer, and it was not too far from here to Chenliu, so it was better to let the soldiers rest during the day and walk at night, so as to avoid the scorching heat. ”

Liu Yu nodded and said softly: "That's the only way, you go and inform the whole army, let all the soldiers take off their battle armor, march lightly, rest during the day, march at night, and strive to arrive in Chenliu in advance, and you can also let the tired soldiers rest." ”

Lin Nan made a "promise", called a few personal soldiers, and gave the order.

After that, the army all acted according to the order, and the soldiers put their unloaded armor on the baggage carts, rested in the grassy area near the water during the day, and began to march at night, and so on for about seven or eight days, the group had crossed the Yellow River and entered the boundary of Chenliu.

As soon as they entered Chenliu, all the people felt relaxed, and they also encountered soldiers and horses from Jizhou on the way. So, Liu Yu joined forces with Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, and jointly sent an envoy to Chenliu to send a letter to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who were sitting in Chenliu, in advance.

On July 19, the combined forces of Youzhou and Jizhou, totaling 50,000 horse infantry troops, finally arrived in Chenliu at Pingming, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao personally took their personal entourage to Mingyan Pavilion to greet them.

In the Mingyan Pavilion, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Yu, Han Fu, and Lin Nanhuan gathered together, all of them were officials of the same dynasty, and they all looked up and didn't look down when they were mixed up in Beijing, even if there was any estrangement between them, they all came with the determination to crusade against Dong Zhuo at this time. Naturally, those old things are covered up.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses lined up near the Mingyan Pavilion for a long time, swords and guns were lined up, and flags were fluttering, but people could not feel the mighty atmosphere of the army, and all the people were depressed by the hot weather, and they were also very tired. So. Everyone didn't have a long talk in the Mingyan Pavilion, just a few simple greetings.

Cao Cao, as one of the initiators of the initiation of the alliance and the state assassin of Yanzhou, as the master of the territory, made proper arrangements for the meeting, and immediately said: "I have asked you to prepare a military camp, just five miles west of the city, and now that the weather is hot, you have all come from afar." After a long journey along the way, you really should have a good rest. Now the soldiers and horses from all over the place are constantly gathering towards Chenliu, and there are still a few days left before the day of the alliance, so I ask you to relieve your fatigue in these few days. Ladies and gentlemen, this is still a few miles from the barracks, please come with me! ”

So, everyone took their own soldiers and horses and followed behind Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Together, they drove to the barracks outside Chen Liucheng. Liu Bei did not appear in front of these people, but was sent by Liu Yu as a subordinate general to escort the grain and grass in the back. But that's how it should be. Thinking about Liu Bei's reputation, it is not even as good as Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu.

Although Lin Nan and Cao Cao have been separated for a long time, now they are both overlords, and they are clear in their hearts like a mirror, and for two ambitious people, they don't need too many words. has already regarded the other party as the strongest opponent to dominate the world in the future.

Cao Cao was no longer what it used to be, occupying the entire territory of Yanzhou alone, and unlike the officials who were cautious in the court and touted his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, he now treated everyone who came to the alliance as a hegemon.

At the same time, Lin Nan also noted. Cao Cao was followed by a powerful man. He can be regarded as having read countless people, and inadvertently left a lot of thoughts on the big man, although his face was vicious, but he was sure that the person who followed Cao Cao should be a heavyweight general, and he guessed that the man was either Dian Wei or Xu Chu.

With a hint of curiosity, Lin Nan rode forward a few steps, came to a place less than two feet behind Cao Cao, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Meng De, I see that the strong man next to you is extraordinary, I don't know who his surname is?" ”

"A certain person is Chen Liuji, whose surname is Wei, and I have seen General Lin!" As soon as the big man heard Lin Nan's question, he was shocked, arched his hand towards Lin Nan, and said his name in a voice like thunder.

Fortunately, Lin Nan had expected it and had been mentally prepared, otherwise, Dian Wei's sudden loud cry would definitely startle him. For as soon as Pawn Wei's words were spoken, a thunderous roar spread in all directions, causing the horses around him to become agitated and neighing in panic.

Cao Cao was used to Dian Wei's temper, he didn't say anything, just smiled at Lin Nan, and said slowly: "Brother Ziyu, Dian Wei doesn't know much about human feelings, and he often speaks amazingly, please don't be surprised." ”

Lin Nan shook his head and said politely: "Brother Meng De can have such a fierce general by his side, it is really enviable, but it's a pity that I don't have this kind of blessing from Brother Meng De...... Alas! ”

Cao Cao said: "Brother Ziyu, your subordinates Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong and others are also extraordinary people, when it comes to blessings, you have a lot more than me." ”

Lin Nan smiled and didn't answer, but looked at Dian Wei vigorously.

Dian Wei was covered with a loose short coat, his sword eyebrows were swaggered, his face was yellow and black, and a pair of big eyes shot out like a tiger-like look, coupled with a fierce face, it could really make ordinary people feel three points of fear when they saw it, and that overwhelming momentum could make him automatically rank among the super-first-class masters without looking at his body.

After Lin Nan looked at Dian Wei, he silently praised in his heart: "It really deserves the name of the ancient evil......

After walking a few miles forward, Lin Nan saw a very spectacular scene, five miles away from Chen Liucheng, a large and small camp appeared in front of his eyes like a dazzling array of goods, the flags of all words were fluttering in the wind, and the flags were embroidered with official positions such as thorn history, Taishou, general, and captain, and the noisy sound came into his ears at the same time.

Yuan Shao walked at the forefront, after all, he was also a lieutenant of the dynasty, compared with Liu Yu's big Sima virtual title, he was a real fighter, and when he fled from Luoyang, he also took more than 10,000 soldiers of the Northern Army, plus the old troops that were later gathered and gathered, there were more than 30,000 people together. He reined in his horse first, pointed to the three large camps on the north side of the official road, and said: "There are so many troops who have come to meet the alliance that they are full of people from Chen Liucheng to here. ”

Liu Yu didn't speak, after all, there was still a trace of personal grudge between him and Yuan Shao, although he came to the alliance in the spirit of righteousness, but he didn't have too much contact with Yuan Shao, only said "um" softly, and there was no follow-up.

However, Han Fu is more enthusiastic, how to say that he is also an old subordinate of the Yuan family, and he served as a staff member under Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Huai, and his position as the assassin of Jizhou was also recommended by Yuan Shao. He immediately arched his hand towards Yuan Shao and said, "It should be, it should be, Lord Taiwei doesn't have to mind." ”

Cao Cao said: "These days, there will be other princes from all over the world to come to the alliance, and a few adults will take advantage of these days to rest and rest, and wait until the day of the alliance to invite you to the city for a while." ”

Lin Nan smiled and said, "Lord Yuan, General Cao, you just go about your own business, and we will naturally take care of ourselves." ”

Yuan Shao glanced at Lin Nan, and was quite unhappy in his heart, after Yan Liang and Wen Chou came back from Youzhou, they told him about the situation in Youzhou, and he was very jealous of Lin Nan in his heart. He arched his hand towards Lin Nan and said coldly: "Then we will leave here, please take care of yourself." ”

Cao Cao also arched his hand and said: "I will leave here." ”

After Yuan Shao and Cao Cao left, Liu Yu, Lin Nan, and Han Fu were also divided into three, and each of them drove into the barracks that had been divided, while Liu Bei, as Liu Yu's subordinates, followed Liu Yu into the camp with the Youzhou Mu sign. Lin Nan directly led his cavalry into the camp with the sign of Liaodong Taishou, and distributed some grain, grass and baggage from Liu Yu.

The army entered the camp, and everyone was tired these days, and as soon as they arrived at the camp, they entered the camp tents in batches according to the units at all levels, and began to take the necessary rest.

Although Lin Nan walked all night, he couldn't sleep, and after inspecting the camp, he called all the subordinates he brought this time to the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the big tent, Jia Xu, Xun You, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Hua Xiong paid homage to Lin Nan in unison: "See the lord!" ”

"Sit down!" Lin Nan raised his hand and said lightly.

After his subordinates sat down, he said aloud: "This time Chen Liucheng Alliance, more than half of the heroes in the world will come, and each prince will come with his own troops and horses, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands, gathered around this small Chen Liucheng at once, not to mention hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. These hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses seem to be very powerful, if they don't get unified and effective command, they are actually just a plate of scattered sand, plus some of the princes still have disagreements with each other, this is the potential instability of this alliance, whether they can defeat Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou soldiers in one fell swoop, is still unknown. Therefore, these days, I have asked you to carry out some necessary information collection work while resting, to inquire about Dong Zhuo's combat strength clearly, and to know how many people are really determined to please Dong.
