Since it was Gao He's suggestion, Ran Zhan also felt that it made sense, so he would naturally follow it, so he quickly met with the three envoys who came over this time, and asked clearly as soon as possible, which one was the general's old department.

This Chen Zhi's old ministry is named Dong Xu.

At the beginning, Chen Zhi was Taile Ling, and this person was Taile Cheng, but later Chen Zhi left the government and became a librarian, but Dong Xu did not follow the past, and still served in the original yamen, and relied on his rich experience to assist the next few Taile Ling

After Chen Zhi left, the Luoyang Zhuping, which was founded by him, was not broken, but continued to be implemented, and the major academies in Luoyang were also very concerned about this, so their influence continued to expand.

Dong Xu has a lot of management experience because he followed Chen Zhi to create the reviews, and has made a lot of contributions to the organization of the reviews, and he has had a good time over the years, but compared to his other colleague Zhou Ao, it is much worse

Zhou Ao is very beautiful now, and his colleagues in Luoyang often correspond with him, including Dong Xu.

Thinking about the past, and then looking at the present, Dong Xu also has regrets, as the surrounding situation becomes worse and worse, the officials of the capital become more and more insignificant, and the official career is difficult, and this regret is becoming more and more intense.

Including Dong Xu, many of Chen Zhi's old subordinates were besieged in Luoyang several times, thinking about whether it would be time, hanging up the seal, and also going to the north to defect to Chen Zhi, at least trying to be stable.

However, in the end, they were still affected by ordinary rumors, and felt that Youzhou was a bitter cold place on the frontier after all, and the past was equivalent to cutting off their future, so they could barely settle down.

When the Xuanjia Army came out and shocked the world, these people regretted it again, it was useless, they could only be secretly depressed, and they were slowly marginalized.

When the friction on the border of the state appeared, these old Chen clans were finally remembered again, and Dong Xu was summoned by the two kings in this way, and was given the position of the household department, and then he was quickly sent to the frontier to let him negotiate with the Chen Xuanjia army.

To tell the truth, Dong Xu was not happy at all about this promotion, but was uneasy in his heart, but he knew how strong the Xuanjia Army was, and he heard that the six relatives did not recognize it, and he came over this time, and he had the task given by the two kings, but the content made Dong Xu feel very unrealistic, and he was inevitably worried about his life.

Although he has not followed Chen Zhi for a long time, it is enough for him to see Chen Zhi's temperament, that person who can never be moved, but for the sake of the family, clan, and even his wife and children behind him, he has to come over again.

This dilemma made Dong Xu regret it even more.

When he was brought into the camp, Dong Xu looked at the young lieutenant who was not very old, but he was very angry, and in a trance, he seemed to see the figure who had just walked into the Taile Yamen a few years ago.

"You're the general's old department?" Looking at the three people who walked in, Ran Zhan's gaze only stayed on Dong Xu, "Your name is Dong Xu?" ”

"I've seen the captain in the next place." Dong Xu took the other two and saluted Ran Zhan together.

"Sit down, don't be formal," Ran Zhan waved his hand, "You are the general's old department, we are not outsiders, let's just say what we mean, don't mention those words that go around in circles." ”

Seeing that Ran Zhan was so simple, Dong Xu and the two companions glanced at each other, and they both felt helpless, you must know that in the previous rumors, this captain was notoriously difficult to deal with, if it wasn't for the general's mansion to stop it in time, the two sides would have already fought because of this captain.

However, no matter how worried you are, you still have to say what you should say, so after hesitating for a moment, Dong Xu still stubbornly said: "I am waiting to come here to negotiate with the General's Mansion on behalf of the imperial court, and I hope to ......"

He looked up at Ran Zhan, wanting to observe the feedback from the other party's expression.

"Go on." Ran Zhan didn't let the others stop.

"This ...... The imperial court hopes that the two sides can use the current situation as a boundary to alleviate some of the current minor frictions......"

"For now?" Ran Zhan sneered and directly interrupted the other party, "Dong Jun, you are the general's old department, I won't go around in circles with you, if the border is divided, how can it be distributed according to the original distribution?" The Xiongnu country has Pingyang County and Hedong County, why did we have to let it out? ”

Dong Xu was anxious, and when he saw sweat on his forehead, he carefully distinguished: "Captain, after all, those two places are the land of Sizhou of the imperial court, so it is not good to be under the jurisdiction of the Zhengbei General's Mansion, right?" I hope you look at the face of the court......"

"The imperial court didn't dare to provoke the Xiongnu country, and didn't pursue the land of the two counties, because it felt that my Xuanjia army was inferior to the Xiongnu, so it was able to make such a request," Ran Zhan didn't eat that set at all, "My request is very simple, let the two counties out, you collect the troops, we are stationed, everyone is happy, what kind of friction is this, no matter what contradictions, it will be gone immediately, isn't it beautiful?" ”

"How is this possible?" Dong Xu became even more anxious when he heard this, "Even the Xiongnu only occupy one and a half counties, according to the captain, is it to let the imperial court give up the two counties?" ”

"It's okay to let it be just one and a half." Ran Zhan immediately said so, anyway, he made up his mind, as long as the other party retreated, then he would immediately go over to occupy the territory, and the credit for expanding the territory would be obtained immediately.

Dong Xu smiled bitterly, don't say anything about two, one and a half, according to the current situation in Guanzhong, any county town will cause an uproar.

This is also the previous few leading generals, as soon as they got the county, they couldn't wait to send the news back, the purpose of the generals is very simple, that is, to settle this credit, and use the majesty of the imperial court to make Chen's Xuanjia army hinder the face of the imperial court and admit the established facts.

But on the other hand, the news reached the imperial court, and the two kings, who were desperate to consolidate their authority, immediately announced it, wanting to use the credit of recovering the lost territory to stabilize their position.

Now, that one and a half counties have involved the face of the two kings, and the entire court is even more difficult to ride a tiger, how dare he Dong Xu be the master?

"It seems that Dong Jun, you are not the one who can call the shots." Ran Zhan also saw the problem, "Go back and let the person who can make the decision decide, otherwise the sincerity of your negotiation is worth discussing." ”

Hearing this, Dong Xu finally thought of the arrangement for coming over this time, so he said a little crampedly: "I still want to go to Jinyang, I have met General Zhengbei, and I will tell him what the court means." ”

"You want to see the general?" Ran Zhan narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, the three people on the opposite side felt the pressure and gradually broke out in a cold sweat.

"Since the paperwork has been submitted, this matter will not be stopped, and someone will be arranged to send you north......"

Still talking here, there was a sudden noise outside, Ran Zhan listened, couldn't help frowning, he waved his hand, let Dong Xu and the others stay here, but he walked out and asked why.

"General, a few of our brothers who went out were surrounded by the people of the Southern Army, and the two sides beat each other, and our people saw some blood, so in a fit of anger, they slaughtered the other party's people!"

"Slaughter it, slaughter it! How dare they retaliate? Ran Zhan didn't care.

"But the one who was slaughtered seems to be the son of a general opposite......"
