Yuan Shao is now almost sixty years old, although he can still see the handsome face of his youth from his face, but the wrinkles on his forehead can't be concealed no matter what.

Between Yuan Shao's temples, a lot of white hair can be faintly seen, which adds a touch of vicissitudes to this overlord in the north.

It's just that over the years, Yuan Shao's body has deteriorated, and his once tall figure has also looked a little thin, and his eyes are even slightly sunken into his eye sockets.

When Chen Xu saw Yuan Shao's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no matter what kind of hero, he couldn't resist the erosion of the years.

If it weren't for Chen Xu's appearance, Yuan Shao would have died of illness a few years ago.

Yuan Shao in this time and space is far less powerful than in history, but it is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao is even more angry today.

Yuan Shao, who was not carried away by false fame and glory, but suffered repeated setbacks, was more atmospheric and more courteous.

Even, even the high-flying and domineering Juyi, he can tolerate it and entrust it to use.

From this point of view, Chen Xu's appearance really doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for Yuan Shao.

The two princes stood opposite each other, talking and laughing, and at this time they actually forgot the hatred between each other, and they looked like they hated each other.

Unconsciously, the two of them had completely let down their guard, and actually jumped off their horses and walked side by side in the middle of the battlefield, and from time to time there was a hearty laugh.

When the soldiers on both sides saw this scene, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and they couldn't understand why the two overlords who were opposite to each other in life and death could talk so happily.

Perhaps, only Chen Xu and Yuan Shao can understand each other's feelings.

Although they are dominant and famous, they also have a feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold, and only when they see each other do they feel that they have found their own kind and met their confidants.

Therefore, even if the two meet for the first time in the true sense, they are like close friends who have not seen each other for many years.

I don't know when, the spring breeze that had stopped for a long time blew again, blowing the hair of the two of them.

Yuan Shaojin's golden armor and the white cloak on his back are also dancing in the wind; As for Chen Xu, he was dressed in black and armor, wearing a bright red cloak outside.

The two stood side by side, and if you look at it from a distance, without considering the soldiers next to them, it is a very harmonious picture.

Yuan Shao talked with Chen Xu, but he actually forgot about the current situation and chatted for a long time.

Yuan Shao suddenly said with some excitement: "When I heard about Wen Zhao's feat in Puyang, and learned that there are such warriors in the world, I was not afraid of the fierceness of the Ten Constants, and I couldn't help but admire. ”

"I often want to meet Wen Zhao, but I can't get my wish, and now I can tell Wen Zhao about my ideals here, which is also a great thing in life."

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Chen Xu first paused for a moment, and then came back to his senses and knew what Yuan Shao was referring to.

When Chen Xu first came to the end of the Han Dynasty, he was forced to go to the opposite side of Zhang Qi because of the conflict with Zhang Qi for saving people, and under Chen Jing's plan, he openly killed people in Puyang City.

That time, Zhang Qi's family was killed by Chen Xu, and then after killing more than a dozen people in a row, they flew away, and the county soldiers did not dare to chase after them.

What Yuan Shao admired was not Chen Xu's bravery, but that this person was not afraid of the might of the Ten Standing Servants, and dared to kill people so unscrupulously.

It must be known that at that time, it was the time when the Ten Standing Servants were in power, and even Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao dared to be angry with Zhang Qi's family.

At that time, it was also the time when Yuan Shao finished his filial piety, and then refused the imperial court's call to live in seclusion in Luoyang, secretly befriended the party and chivalrous people, and planned to destroy the eunuchs.

Chen Xu's actions in Puyang were undoubtedly a slap in the face of Zhang Gong, and after this matter spread to Luoyang, Yuan Shao naturally celebrated with everyone.

It's just that Chen Xu at that time did not enter Yuan Shao's eyes. In Yuan Shao's opinion, Chen Xu is just a kid who doesn't know the height of the sky.

But who would have thought that more than 20 years later, the young man who was once not valued by himself has become one of the few powerful princes in the middle of the world?

Therefore, when Yuan Shao thought about the events of the day, he was a little embarrassed.

Chen Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "At that time, I was just a vain bravery, how can I compare to what my first brother did in Luoyang?" ”

"In the world, everyone is afraid of the Ten Constant Servants like a tiger, only the original brother rises to the challenge, is not afraid of violence, and is a big white!"

"Hahahaha!"

Plotting against the eunuch party has always been the thing that Yuan Shao is most proud of.

At this time, hearing that Chen Xu, the number one prince in the world, praised him like this, Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing.

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Xu suddenly asked, "I don't know what kind of ideals Brother Ben has?" ”

Suddenly hearing Chen Xu ask such a question, Yuan Shao was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to answer.

After thinking for a while, he replied: "A certain ambition in life is to support the Han family, report to the country, and go to peace and the people." ”

Although Yuan Shao replied so, he didn't have much confidence in saying it.

He turned his head to look at Chen Xu, only to find that Chen Xu was looking at him with a smile, and he couldn't help but blush.

Fortunately, for so many years, Yuan Shao's cheeks have long been very thick-skinned, even if his face is slightly red, it is not obvious, but he asked Chen Xu: "What ambition does Wen Zhao have?" ”

A look of confusion flashed in Chen Xu's eyes, and then he said with a wry smile: "Maybe Brother Ben didn't believe it, at the beginning, I just wanted to live in the troubled times, so that those clansmen who treated me very well could live a better life." ”

"At that time, I didn't have big ambitions, I only thought about making a little more money, and I only thought about the crops in the field, and the harvest could be very good."

"But the world is impermanent, and I was forced to get involved in one dispute after another, and finally I was forced to come to the point where I am now."

"To be honest, when I helped Qiaodong County resist the Yellow Turbans, I didn't help the Han Dynasty to quell the war as soon as possible and let the people live a better life."

"But it wasn't until later that I learned that once the roots of a tree rotted, there was no way to revitalize it."

Speaking of this, Chen Xu was a little stunned and a little embarrassed.

"My ambition now is just to clear the four seas as soon as possible, encompass Kyushu, and end this troubled era."

Chen Xu suddenly turned his head to look at Yuan Shao, and said with burning eyes: "My first brother and I hit it off at first sight, so it's better to stop the army and make a truce, form an alliance, and be each other's lips and teeth." ”

"At that time, Brother Benchu could take Qing and Xuzhou, and I could take the land of Jingzhou."

"After the rest of the princes are destroyed, if the original brother is willing, you and I can divide the world equally; If not, it's not too late for us to divide the superior. ”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and then there was a look of struggle in his eyes.

In fact, he once considered that he would turn against Cao Cao and send troops to seize Qing and Xuzhou.

After all, the two princes who now border Yuan Shao, except for Chen Xu, are Cao Cao, but Chen Xu is so powerful that Yuan Shao has no confidence that he can capture the state.

Although Cao Cao is strong, Yuan Shao owns the land of Sanzhou, and if he really wants to fight, he may not be able to destroy it.

Once Cao Cao is eliminated, Yuan Shao can occupy nearly six states, and even if Chen Xu takes Jingzhou, Yuan Shao can compete with him head-on.

"Bang bang bang!"

Yuan Shao's heart kept beating, obviously a little moved, but Chen Xu was secretly happy when he saw this.

If he could persuade Yuan Shao to form an alliance with him and attack Cao Cao instead, he would be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and take the opportunity to attack Jingzhou.

However, Yuan Shao only struggled for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Wen Zhao is talking like this, and he can't help but underestimate me Yuan Benchu. ”

"Now Wen Zhao's power is too strong, if the princes don't work together, I'm afraid they will be wiped out by Wen Zhao one by one sooner or later."

"If I and Meng De fight each other, let's not talk about whether we can capture Qing and Xuzhou, even if we can really succeed, we will inevitably lose both."

"Although you and I have a good conversation today, I Yuan Benchu is not a short-sighted person, if I can't capture the state, I will definitely not fight with Meng De!"

Yuan Shao's words echoed in Chen Xu's ears, sonorous and powerful.

Chen Xu's face immediately sank when he heard this, and he looked at Yuan Shao and said: "I treat Ben Chu with kindness, but Ben Chu Brother is so aggressive, I don't think I will be afraid of you!" ”

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "It is precisely because Wen Zhao is too strong and not afraid of me at all that I am so jealous of you." ”

"Quack!"

"Quack!"

Chen Xu's eyes were fixed on Yuan Shao, his fists clenched, and he made a bone popping sound like fried beans.

He said in a deep voice: "Believe it or not, if I make a move now, I will be able to capture you alive." As long as the original is captured, the dragons of Jizhou will be leaderless, and the day of destruction will not be far away! ”

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao laughed when he heard this, and then said loudly: "If Wen Zhaoruo makes a move on me at this time, you are not worthy of becoming the strongest prince in the world!" ”

In fact, Yuan Shao's heart was also awe-inspiring at this time.

But after all, he was brave enough to deliberately speak loudly, one was to squeeze Chen Xu, and the other was to inform his generals that once things changed, it was better to come to the rescue as soon as possible.

Yuan Shao himself was even more tense and ready to run away at any time.

Sure enough, Jizhou Wenwu, who was waiting solemnly, couldn't help but get nervous when he saw his own father-in-law, who was still talking and laughing with Chen Xu, suddenly said such a sentence.

Gao Ran and the others were even more ready to rush into the formation at any time, wanting to rescue Yuan Shao.

Chen Xu's face sank like water, and he looked at Yuan Shao carefully, but he suddenly laughed out loud.

He stroked his palms and smiled: "The parents of those who gave birth to me, and those who know me are the same." Today, since you and I are brothers, even if we are enemies, I will never do such a despicable thing. ”

"If you want to win, you must be on the battlefield, and you must win with dignity!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then laughed loudly: "It is unknown who will win or lose, Wen Zhao should not be too confident." ”

The two of them looked at each other, laughed at the same time after a while, and then saluted each other, and walked towards the main formation.
