"Are you Chen Lin? Interested in serving the Imperial Court? When Liu Xie learned that the envoy sent by Yuan Jun was Chen Lin, he immediately showed great interest. It's not that Liu Xie knows anything about Chen Lin, but when he chatted with Lu Zhi and Cai Yong before, the name Chen Lin was mentioned by Lu Zhi.

In Liu Xie's impression, Chen Lin's ability is not outstanding, the most famous is probably the article for Yuan Shao Yuzhou, Cao Cao was having a headache at the time, and after reading Chen Lin's article, his condition improved, but according to Liu Xie's understanding, Cao Cao's condition was not frightened by Chen Lin's article, but angry. The simple theory of head wind is that the blood in the brain is blocked, and when the blood boiling, the original blockage will naturally become smooth.

Originally, Liu Xie thought that Chen Lin's ability was at most a literati who played with a pen, at best, like Kong Rong, Xu Gan and other literati, at most, he was helping himself to wave the flag and shout. But Lu Zhi scoffed at Liu Xie's opinion, and then told Liu Xie about it. It was when Chen Lin was the head of the general He Jin's side that he once advised He Jin not to lead soldiers and horses from all over the world into Beijing in order to get rid of the ten permanent servants, but unfortunately He Jin did not listen to Chen Lin's opinion. Later, the ten permanent servants wanted to trick He into entering the palace to be killed, and Chen Lin also persuaded He Jin not to enter the palace, but unfortunately He Jin still didn't listen.

After He Jin's death, Dong Zhuo ravaged Jingshi, and Chen Lin avoided Jizhou and accepted Yuan Shao's solicitation there. It's just that it seems that since then, Chen Lin seems to have disappeared, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's order to write the essay on his behalf, Liu Xie wouldn't even remember Chen Lin. Of course, the text written by Chen Lin on behalf of Yuan Shao was not the famous Yuzhou for Yuan Shao in history, but in order to give Yuan Shao the fact that he disobeyed the imperial court in the name of the Qing monarch. To be honest, Liu Xie was really angry after seeing the essay written by Chen Lin at that time. If Chen Lin fell into Liu Xie's hands at that time, Liu Xiefei told Chen Lin to walk around without eating, but after so long of the incident, the idea of revenge would have faded.

A man who eats with a pen, what has nothing to do with him.

"It's the minister." Chen Lin whispered weakly.

"Huh...... Chen Lin, Chen Lin, when I wrote an essay for Yuan Shao to scold me, did you ever think that there would be today? Liu Xie looked at Chen Lin with a smile and asked.

Chen Lin couldn't help but change his expression after hearing this, and his heart was also up and down, he was just trying to be happy for a while, in order to meet Yuan Shao's requirements, how ugly he was to write, but he didn't want Yuan Shao to be angry, not to mention the good situation, and now he took the initiative to send it to the "enemy" again.

Chen Lin is no longer young, and now he is also the master of the fast five, and his heart has long lost the vigor of his youth. The little ambition in his heart died with him as early as after He Jin's death. agreed to Yuan Shao's solicitation, which was also the reason why Chen Lin was poor at that time. As for why Chen Lin ghostwrote for Yuan Shao, holding Yuan Shao's money, he naturally had to do things for others.

"It's just a matter of not helping me." Chen Lin whispered.

"Huh...... Since you're here, don't go. Look at the essay you wrote for Yuan Shao is good, that is, after reading it, Master Zheng praised the writing, so you can go to Taixue to teach a teacher. Liu Xie did not embarrass Chen Lin, and took the initiative to reveal the matter and told Chen Lin about his arrangements.

"Huh? Saint, the minister is still working for the Yuan clan now......" Chen Lin said with some hesitation after hearing this.

"A group of rebellious ministers and thieves, why should you be in the same league with them."

"But the family of the minister ......"

"Go back and let Yuan Xi send someone to send it."

"I'm afraid that the Yuan family won't let him go."

"If he dares not to let me go, he will reward you with a few beauties."

"This ...... Saint, the minister has a deep relationship with the insider......"

Liu Xie didn't wait for Chen Lin to finish his reasoning, and then impatiently ordered: "Okay, okay, okay, don't be verbose." Someone, please go down and rest. By the way, tell the entourage who came with Mr. Chen, and say that Mr. Chen was inspired by the imperial court and decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and asked Yuan Xi to send Mr. Chen's family quickly. ”

"Holy mercy." When Chen Lin heard the urgency, he hurriedly shouted.

Liu Xie's personal guards didn't care whether Chen Lin was in a hurry or not, and after Liu Xie's order, they immediately dragged Chen Lin down. When Chen Lin's wailing could no longer be heard, Sima Yi, who witnessed the whole process, asked Liu Xie puzzled: "Lord, why do you treat Chen Lin like this?" ”

"What? Can't get past it? ”

"After all, he's almost fifty, so why bother bullying him?" Sima Yi replied honestly.

"Huh...... Zhong Da, why did you say Yuan Xi sent Chen Lin here? The wise man in the Hebei army, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Cui Yan, and Xu Miao, which one is not more suitable than Chen Lin? But it was Chen Lin who was sent. ”

"This, isn't it that Yuan Xi wants to use Chen Lin to test our army's current attitude?" Sima Yi asked after thinking for a while.

"Well, Chen Lin may be a dispensable existence for Yuan Xi, so even if he loses Chen Lin, Yuan Xi will not feel any loss. But we can't let Chen Lin go back, because then it is possible to let Tian Feng and those people see the clues. At present, Gongsun Du of Liaodong has already invaded Youzhou, but it is because we are here that Yuan Xi does not dare to withdraw his troops with confidence. And now Gongsun Du has just begun to attack Youzhou, and he has not reaped enough benefits, once he learns that Yuan Xi has returned to Youzhou, he is very likely to accept it when he sees it, and withdraw to Liaodong. ”

"Isn't that just as good for us?"

"But we and Gongsun Du are just using each other, and there is no need to consider the interests of Gongsun Du. At the moment, we just can't spare time, so we can only put Hebei aside for the time being, but if Gongsun Du can't fight Yuan Xi to the end, then we still can't guarantee that Yuan Xi will send troops to help Cao Cao again after keeping Youzhou. ”

"Then the lord wants to delay more time for his grandson here?"

"Well, Zhongda has fished, right? It should be known that fishing is the most taboo and impetuous, and at the moment Gongsun Du has just tasted the delicacy of Youzhou's bait, and has not yet had the ambition to swallow it. Once Yuan Xi returns to the army at this time, Gongsun Du is very likely to break away. But if we drag Yuan Xi for a while, then Gongsun Du will be unable to stop, and when Gongsun Du and his men can no longer let go, it will be the time when he and Yuan Xi will fight to the end for Youzhou. ”

"But what if Yuan Xi is ruthless and doesn't want Youzhou?"

"So we can't let Yuan Xi guess our intentions at this time, and if Chen Lin is detained, they can't guess our true intentions, and even if they guess our true intentions, they don't dare to believe it. But for us, it's different, as long as Yuan Xi doesn't make up his mind to withdraw his troops for a day, the easier it will be for Gongsun Du to act. ”

Only one member of Yuan's envoy group returned to Yuan's camp alive. It's not that Liu Xie is thirsty for killing, it's really a disaster, and Chen Lin's entourage can only be blamed for saying that the two countries will not fight after learning that Chen Lin was detained by the Han army. Is the relationship between the Han and Hebei two countries?

Because of this sentence, except for one person who was responsible for going back to the legend, the rest were killed on the spot. And after listening to the return of the entourage, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others were speechless for a long time.

"Gonghe, don't think about it, this is Chen Lin's fate." Tian Feng saw that his expression was a little gloomy, and he opened his mouth to persuade.

After hearing this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yuan Hao doesn't have to comfort me, I hurt Chen Lin." ”

"Gonghe, why did you say that the Son of Heaven detained Chen Lin for?" Seeing this, Tian Feng changed the topic and asked.

Fu Zhu knew Tian Feng's good intentions, and his relationship with Chen Lin was average, and the reason why he felt guilty was only because he recommended Chen Lin as his envoy. Hearing Tian Feng ask about the Son of Heaven's intention to detain Chen Lin, he also shook his head, "I can't think of it either, but our previous plan was in vain." …… The Son of Heaven wouldn't have detained Chen Lin just to prevent us from guessing his true intentions, right? ”

Regarding the speculation that Fu Zhu finally said, Tian Feng shook his head after thinking about it and said, "Probably not, right?" When the son will be so cunning today? ”

“…… Yuan Hao, Hugh is going to underestimate today. Imagine if you were today, would you be able to have his performance? ”

"Uh...... This ......" Tian Feng couldn't answer this time. The most important thing in being a man is to recognize his own strengths and weaknesses, and Tian Feng, as a wise man, naturally has a clear understanding of his own ability. To be honest, if he were to be today's son, I am afraid that he would not be guilty of Dong Zhuo, but in that case, it will inevitably cause Dong Zhuo to be closely guarded, even if Dong Zhuo will still be punished by Wang Yun and Lu Bu, he will not be able to intervene in the follow-up affairs. And with Wang Yun's temperament, naturally there will be no thing to appease the Xiliang Army, and there will be no things that will happen later.

It's really not easy to find out if you don't think about it, this is really lucky today, as long as there is a mistake at that time, the Han family may become someone else's puppet.

"It's really good luck this day." Tian Feng muttered in a low voice, just so that the frustration on the side could hear it, and the frustration also followed up after listening to it, "Is it really just luck?" ”

"Uh...... Gonghe, let's get down to business. ”

"Okay, let's get down to business. Let's put down Chen Lin's matter first, in fact, there are only two ways in front of you and me now, one is to withdraw the troops immediately, regardless of the true intentions of the Han army. The second is to hold the troops for the time being, and then withdraw the troops after the Han army's intentions are clarified. ”

"But Youzhou is being attacked by Gongsun Du, and it has been delayed here for a long time, and I am afraid that Youzhou will change."

"Then the troops can only be divided into two routes, stay here all the way to confront the Han army, and return to Youzhou all the way to defend against Gongsun Du."

“…… In order to make up for the lack of troops, he united the Karasuma people and the Goryeo people to send troops together, if there are fewer soldiers and horses to rescue Youzhou, I am afraid it will be useless. But if there are too many troops, the safety here cannot be guaranteed......" Tian Feng said with a sad face.

"Yuan Hao, don't worry, this matter is still up to the lord." Frustrated and unwilling to see Tian Feng's embarrassed appearance, he gave Tian Feng an idea. But Tian Feng didn't appreciate it very much after hearing this, frowned and looked at the frustrated professor and said: "Gonghe, I know that you have some opinions about the lord, but now is not the time to talk angrily. ”

"Huh...... Yuan Hao, could it be that in your eyes, Fu Zhu is such a narrow-minded person? ”

"Since it's not, then you might as well go with me to see the lord."

“…… Okay, then I'll go with you. ”

……

Knowing that Tian Feng and Fu Zhi Qi came to visit, Yuan Xi hurriedly went out of the account to greet him, and after listening to Tian Feng's report, Yuan Xi's brows couldn't help frowning, he was already undecided, so he entrusted the matter to Tian Feng, but he didn't want Tian Feng to finally hand over the decision to himself.

“…… What does the gentleman think? Yuan Xi asked Tian Fengdao.

"Why don't you ask the lord for his opinion?"

"Uh...... In Mr. Fu's opinion, what should our army do now? ”

"If the lord trusts Fu, Fu is willing to delay the Han army here, and the lord will personally lead the men and horses to rescue Youzhou." Frustrated Professor said to Yuan Xi.

"Hmm...... I wonder how many soldiers and horses Mr. Fu needs? Yuan Xi asked after thinking about it.

"Five thousand is enough."

"Don't underestimate the enemy." Tian Feng hurriedly persuaded when he heard this.

"Yuan Hao, but there is a suspicious formation, why do you need too many people. Moreover, what the lord is worried about is nothing more than worrying that the Han army will chase and kill when our army retreats, but with my 5,000 people here, I can at least buy two days for the lord. As long as our army returns to Hebei, the Han army can only look at the river and sigh. ”

"But if the Han army captures you again...... Tian Feng said worriedly.

"Since you chose to serve Yuan Gong as the main one, you naturally have to do your best." After saying this, he said to Yuan Xi, who was already quite moved: "Lord, please also fulfill the loyalty of Fu Mou." ”

"Okay, then it's hard to frustrate, sir. I wonder what else Mr. Fu wants? Yuan Xi didn't wait for Tian Feng to speak, so he preemptively clapped.

"If you want to say that there is really one thing to ask, please also ask the lord to order someone to go to Yecheng to fetch Chen Lin's family, so that Fu can deal with the Han army for a few more days."

Yuan Xi already knew that Chen Lin was detained by the Han army, and Yuan Xi really didn't feel any pity for Chen Lin. Now that Chen Lin has asked Han Jun to stay, sending his family members can show his generosity, and he didn't think much about it, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

When he went down to prepare, Tian Feng didn't leave. Tian Feng couldn't object to Yuan Xi's decision when he was here, but now there were only two people left in the account, and Tian Feng was very puzzled why Yuan Xi just refused to trust him. Staying here to be in charge of the suspicious soldiers, that is the task of nine deaths, once the Han army finds out that they have been deceived, frustrated and the five thousand people under his command, there is a chance that they will never return to Hebei. Once a person is angry and embarrassed, he can do anything.

"Sir, don't blame me for being ruthless, I really don't dare to believe it." Without waiting for Tian Feng to speak, Yuan Xi preemptively said. Tian Feng had prepared a lot of rhetoric, but looking at Yuan Xi's sincere face, he couldn't say a word, and finally he could only sigh and leave.

Leaving the tent, Tian Feng hurriedly found Fu Zhi, since things could not be changed, what Tian Feng could do at this time was to try his best to meet the requirements of Fu Zhi. According to Tian Feng's opinion, the 5,000 people left for Fu Zhu should be the elite of the army, so at least Fu Zhu can have a greater chance of escaping. However, he rejected Tian Feng's proposal, insisting that as long as there were 1,000 elites, the remaining 4,000 people were also old and weak soldiers in the baggage camp.

"Gonghe, why do you give up on yourself. The horsepower ...... of the road is remote"

"Isn't it true that people see people's hearts over time?" Fu Zhu casually took the second half of Tian Feng's sentence, looked at Tian Feng and said: "Yuan Hao, don't persuade again, Fu Zhu has made up his mind, if you still regard Fu Zhu as a confidant, then shut up." ”

Tian Feng: "......"

……

The next day, Fu Zhu sent a nobody to the Han camp, saying that he had sent someone to Yecheng to pick up Chen Lin's family, and asked the Han army to wait a few more days. Liu Xie didn't feel embarrassed as a nobody, he just said that he knew and sent people away. Later, Sima Yi, Fa Zheng, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and other important figures in the army were summoned together to discuss whether there was a secret in Yuan Jun's acceptance of his previous casual request at this time.

Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and other generals naturally believe in the supremacy of force, since they can't figure it out, then take a look, maybe they can see the clues. But Sima Yi, Fa Zheng and others did not agree to use force against Yuan Jun at this time. At this time, it was not the time for a decisive battle with the Yuan clan in Hebei, the main target of the Han army was still Cao Cao, and the losses that could be avoided should be avoided as much as possible.

Seeing his advisers arguing with the generals, Liu Xie couldn't help but be a little big, the public said that the public was reasonable, the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the people on both sides said that there was a certain amount of truth, which made Liu Xie difficult to choose for a while.

"Order the scout battalion to be closely monitored for the past few days, and report any movement in time." Liu Xie, who couldn't make up his mind for a while, had to choose a compromise idea.

Liu Xie and the others didn't guess the intention of Fu Zhu for a while, and Fu Zhu would not give Han Jun time to figure out his true intentions. On the same night that he ordered his men to go to the Han camp, Yuan Xi led the army and began to retreat.

The scouts of the Han army are powerful, but they are not boundless with vast magical powers, and there is no way to know the rear of the Yuan army well. When Yuan's army chose to march at night and were not allowed to light torches, a large number of men and horses quietly boarded boats and crossed the Yellow River. By the time the Han scouts found out about this situation and reported back to Liu Xie, it was already three days later.

Liu Xie was speechless for a long time after learning about this, and Sima Yi, Fa Zheng and others also had ugly faces. Hunting geese all day long, but today they are pecked out of the eyes. I didn't expect that frustrated professor to be so good, and he would stay here and delay time with himself regardless of his own safety.

"My lord, let's fight." Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and others asked Liu Xie for battle.

Liu Xie looked at the people who were inviting to fight, shook his head slowly, and said, "The matter has come to this, what's the point of going to war?" The three days that should have been walked have been almost gone. ”

"But at least we can't let that damn frustration go." Sima Yi said hatefully.

"Huh...... Zhongda, for your sake, people are skilled, so we don't need to be jealous of others. Liu Xie said with a smile.

"Isn't the lord angry?" Sima Yi asked in disbelief.

"If you want to be angry, there must be something, after all, we have deceived someone, but the more this is the case, the more we must be calm at this time. Even if we catch Fu Zhu now and cut him with a thousand knives, it will only help him become famous, and it will not help. ”

"And what is the lord going to do?" Sima Yi frowned and asked.

"Hmm...... I haven't figured it out yet, but since you're insisting on playing, it's better to fight. Remember, I'm going to live a frustrated life. ”
