"That, Dong Jun, you are a guest from afar, since you are going to see the general, then I will arrange it tomorrow and send you to Jinyang, what do you think?"

When Ran Zhan returned to the camp, he immediately summoned Dong Xu and the others over, but his attitude was much more friendly, and he heard the three messengers look at each other, but without waiting for the three to respond, Ran Zhan asked Dong Xu and them to leave, and arranged a camp for the three of them to settle down.

"At present, it seems that the situation is not too bad, as long as we can meet General Zhengbei and read out the reward given to him by the imperial court, we will have completed our mission," Dong Xu settled down with his two colleagues and couldn't help but say, "However, that Captain Ran is not as difficult to deal with as rumored, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune." ”

"I think there's something strange about this," said one of his colleagues, "the lieutenant's attitude was so tough that it was almost impossible to communicate, but when the messenger came, his attitude changed immediately, and besides, he was summoned repeatedly, so I am afraid that there is a problem." ”

Another colleague immediately understood what he meant, and said, "You mean to say that there is a problem with a few soldiers who came to talk?" ”

"It's not that they have a problem, but the news that something has happened that made Ran Zhan's attitude change." The first colleague was talking, but was reminded by Dong Xu to be quieter, and he immediately lowered his voice, "Yes, I want to be quiet, maybe someone outside the tent is eavesdropping on my words." ”

"That being the case, let's not think about it so much yet," Dong Xu said half-admonishing, half-dissuading, "It's enough to do your own thing, and don't think about the superfluous things." ”

When the remaining two heard it, they felt that it made sense, the Xuanjia Army was a headache for the two clans, and there was no need for them, the little pawns, to make extraneous troubles and add drama to themselves.

After reaching a consensus, the three of them quickly settled down, and they did not speculate about why Ran Zhan's attitude had changed, but discussed how to negotiate after meeting Chen Zhi.

"Dong Jun, you are the old department of the general of Zhengbei, why don't you contact your past colleagues first, I heard that Jiang Zuo Zhou is arrogant, and he is quite valued by the general, why not contact one or two? Let him ventilate the general first, so that we can wait to see him. ”

Dong Xu's face was a little unnatural, and he didn't answer immediately, but thought about it.

For Zhou Ao, the envoy's emotions are very complicated.

When they belonged to the same yamen, Zhou Ao's status was not as good as Dong Xu's, but now the situation is reversed, colleagues in the past get together, and what is often mentioned is Zhou Ao, some envy his experience, and some admire his determination, in contrast, Dong Xu was left out in the cold.

You must know that after Chen Zhi and Zhou Ao went north successively, Dong Xu successfully presided over several Luoyang reviews, which was praised for a while, and became a frequent visitor to his colleagues, but time has passed, and everything has changed.

Of course, he will have some resistance to Zhou Ao.

However, this mission involves the life of the family, and if you have to throw away the shortcut and go on a long journey because of the slightest resistance, it is not right.

So after groaning, Dong Xu still decided to be interest-oriented, and planned to write a letter to Zhou Ao, first asking this former colleague to say a few good words for himself in front of the general, and when he saw Chen Zhi, it would be convenient to reminisce about the past.

"Now that Dong Jun has made a decision, let's ponder together, how to write this letter, it is best to mention the current situation, not to be abrupt, to highlight the old relationship between colleagues, but not to make people feel snobbish."

"In this way, this letter is not easy to write, and it is indeed worth taking a good look at it."

The two colleagues immediately consulted Dong Xu, and the latter also treated it solemnly and decided to accept the suggestion of the two and arrange it for a good student.

Just while he was talking, there was a sudden noise outside, followed by a deafening sound of slogans, and then the squeezing sound of many military boots stepping on the ground came from outside the tent.

Suddenly, the smell of the mountain rain and the wind filled the building, and it filled the tent, where could the three people inside still carefully understand the way of letters, and immediately stood up and went out to find out.

As a result, the curtain was just lifted here, and the first thing that caught my eye was two soldiers wearing black armor, two of them holding spears, standing at the door, and when they saw someone coming out, they immediately went over to stop them, and said: "There are changes in the army, and all the people who come and go are warriors, and it is better for a few gentlemen to stay in the tent to save them from being injured by mistake." ”

"Two soldiers, why is there such a movement?" Dong Xu squeezed over, "Isn't there a thief or bandit attacking?" "That's what I asked, but what I was really worried about, along with his two colleagues, was that the Xuanjia Army was going to take action against the Guanzhong Army in the south, which would be really a disaster.

The two soldiers said: "We only know the responsibility of guarding, and we don't know the movement in the army, so it is difficult to inform us." ”

"Then I hope it's convenient for the two of you, let me go to Captain Ran and ask him about it......" Dong Xu hurriedly said and tried to walk outside.

But he was greeted by two spears crossed together—two soldiers stretched out their spears at the same time, blocking the way of the three.

The specially forged tip of the spear shimmers with a palpitating luster under the light of the light.

"Please also ask the three to stay honestly, we are also ordered to protect, and we can't let the three leave!"

Hearing this, no matter how sluggish the three of them were, they could see that the sudden change in the Xuanjia Barracks this time might really develop towards the situation they were most worried about.

"Don't you know who I am?" In anxiety, Dong Xu didn't care about anything else, "I am the old ...... of General Zhengbei"

The two soldiers frowned, and one of them said, "I hope the envoy understands the matter, and now it is the general's subordinates who give the order." ”

The three of them lost their temper when they said this.

Isn't it? You are just the general's old department, and now there is nothing except for a little dispensable favor, but the people Ran Zhan is the general who is particularly valued by the general of Zhengbei now, and it is clear which is more important at a glance.

In desperation, the three of them had to retreat, but their worries continued unabated.

"How's that going now?"

The two colleagues were at a loss.

Dong Xu also couldn't come up with a way, just in line with the duty of the main envoy, he wanted to say something to comfort, but before he could speak, he heard a sudden "rumbling" sound outside, accompanied by a tremor on the ground.

In an instant, the three of them thought of the rumored weapon of the Xuanjia Army.

"Could it be that you even used that artillery? Why? ”

Suddenly, the three of them were like ants on a hot pot, anxious and worried, and finally rushed out again, and even planned to forcibly break through the block, but how they were the opponents of the trained soldiers, they were finally stopped.

It's just that when the three of them came out of the tent again, they had already heard the sound of shouting and killing from afar!
