After Chen Qun and his entourage came to Taiyuan County, they rested for a day at Jinyang Chen Ji Restaurant before rushing again.

After five days on the road, Chen Qun and his entourage arrived at Ho Gia City, Hanoi County.

Chen Qun took Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to see Zhu Jun and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhu, these two are the assistants that your nephew found for you, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, two generals. ”

"I've seen General Zhu!" Gao Shun and Zhang Liao saluted Zhu Jun together.

Zhu Jun looked at the two and nodded, "Not bad!" I am very happy to meet the two generals, the two generals can be appreciated by Changwen, and the ability must be very strong, then I will hand over the 40,000 troops of Hanoi County to you for training, and you must help me train a winning division. ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Gao Shun and Zhang Liao hugged their fists together, and the two of them were very surprised at this time, they thought that after seeing Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun would definitely test them before reusing them, but they never thought that Zhu Jun would directly hand over the soldiers and horses of the whole county to them for training.

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao all looked at Chen Qun in shock, they thought that Chen Qun was just familiar with Zhu Jun, but they never thought that Chen Qun was so familiar with Zhu Jun, and Zhu Jun also trusted Chen Qun unreservedly, which doubled Chen Qun's sense of mystery in the hearts of the two, and the next thing made Chen Qun's status in their hearts improve a lot again.

Chen Qun smiled slightly after seeing Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's stunned eyes, and then turned to Zhu Jun and said, "Uncle, General Gao Shun is good at foot combat, and his infantry combat ability is very strong, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the top in the world.

General Zhang Liao is good at cavalry warfare, and his ability to lead cavalry to fight is also unique in the world, Wei County, my four righteous elder brothers, and my eldest brother Zhang He's ability can be compared with General Zhang Liao, and the other three are not Zhang Liao's opponents, I am sure of this. ”

Zhu Jun looked at Chen Qun with a smile on his face when he heard this: "Changwen, the ability of the two of them is so strong?" Is this true? ”

Chen Qun nodded and said, "Uncle, when did my nephew tell a lie?" The ability of the two generals Gao Shun and Zhang Liao is undoubted, if the uncle can guide them one or two more, then it is not good for the two of them to become the gods of war in the world. What the two generals lack now is only actual combat experience, and the uncle is an expert in this area. ”

Zhu Jun looked at Gao Shun and Zhang Liao happily when he heard this: "Okay! Gao Shun, I appoint you as the captain of our infantry army to command all the infantry troops in Hanoi County. Of the 40,000 troops in Hanoi County, there are 35,000 infantry troops, do you have the confidence to take charge of them?"

When Gao Shun heard this, he hugged his fist and saluted Zhu Jun: "Please rest assured that the general, his subordinates will never live up to the general's high expectations." ”

Zhu Jun nodded and looked at Zhang Liao again: "Zhang Liao, I appointed you as the cavalry captain of our army, in charge of the 5,500 cavalry of Hanoi County, do you have the confidence to lead the cavalry?" ”

"The subordinates promise to satisfy the general! Thank you for your trust! Zhang Liao also hugged his fists.

Zhu Jun nodded, and then directly took out two talismans and handed them over: "This is your talisman, and it is also your general order to transfer troops, you take it." In addition, the defense of the cities in Hanoi County is also under your full responsibility, do a good job, and I will reward you with your majesty. ”

"Subordinates obey! Thank you for your kindness! Gao Shun and Zhang Liao saluted Zhu Jun together, and the two of them now have nothing to say about Chen Qun's admiration, just a few words of introduction, they have become Zhu Jun's right and left hands, which makes the two extremely excited, and the two seem to have seen the scene of meritorious service for the country on the battlefield.

Zhu Jun nodded: "Let's go, let's go to dinner together, it's strange and hard to work all the way." ”

"Thank you, General, for the banquet!" Gao Shun and Zhang Liao saluted Zhu Jun again.

Seeing this, Chen Qun smiled and stepped forward to take Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's hands, and went to the dining hall with Zhu Jun.

The rest was very uneventful, and Chen Qun stayed in Huojia City for another five days, and left after Gao Shun and Zhang Liao had a preliminary understanding of the situation in Hanoi County.

In mid-September, after Chen Qun and his entourage returned to the mountain city, Chen Qun directly met Xu Shu: "Senior brother, I have figured it out. ”

Xu Shu invited Chen Qun to sit down, poured a cup of hot tea for Chen Qun, looked at Chen Qun's eyes and smiled: "Your eyes are clear, and you have no doubts, you must have made a decision that you are satisfied with." And the fact that you came to see me as soon as you came back shows that your decision didn't disappoint me, didn't it? ”

Chen Qun looked at Xu Shu's eyes and smiled: "Senior brother, you are really amazing!" You guessed it! I plan to take charge of the army in the future and build another Han Dynasty. ”

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and smiled: "You! I can't let go of the obsession with the Han Dynasty in my heart, but the Han is not this Han, and it is indeed a very good decision to rebuild the Han Dynasty. Then have you thought about how to treat your eldest brother Liu Bei? ”

Chen Qun frowned when he heard this: "If my eldest brother is willing to follow me to do things together, when the matter is completed, I am willing to make my eldest brother a liege." ”

"Liehou?" Xu Shu nodded: "Yes, this decision is good, but I am worried that Liu Xuande will not be reconciled, Liu Xuande's intentions are not small, if you want to have less trouble in the future, it is best to get rid of him now, then your second brother and third brother will choose to help you." ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Senior brother, let it be!" My eldest brother is really good to me, I can't do anything to be sorry for him, just let him make his own choice. ”

After Chen Qun finished speaking, he got up and said, "Senior brother, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, and you can continue to take care of it for me if you have something to do in the mountain city." ”

Xu Shu got up and said: "Changwen, in August, the states sent a total of 3,000 gold in profits, and our difficulties can be regarded as overcoming." It's just that the Ten Permanent Servants haven't done anything these days, which makes me feel very abnormal. ”

Chen Qun nodded and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter if they don't come, I'll go to Luoyang to find them." ”

"No!" Xu Shu hurriedly stopped when he heard this: "Changwen, you must not go to Luoyang now, as long as you don't go to Luoyang, this balance cannot be broken now, the Ten Standing Servants must have learned that the guard strength of the mountain city has increased again, so there is no action, if you go to Luoyang, once the people of the Ten Standing Servants know, then they will definitely deal with you at all costs, and you must not take any risks!" ”

Chen Qun nodded and said, "Thank you Senior Brother for informing me, I understand." You can keep the gold to take care of the mountain city, I still have 2,000 gold, which is enough for me. ”

"Okay." Xu Shu looked at Chen Qun's departing back and nodded. He is very satisfied with Chen Qun's current achievements, and he has found a way to realize his ambition from Chen Qun.

After Chen Qun said goodbye to Xu Shu, he thought of what he thought when he merged the state, so he decided to implement it immediately, which was also the reason why Xu Shu's words reminded him. Chen Qun decided to immediately send someone to assassinate Cao Cao, as for Sun Jian, Chen Qun knew that Sun Jian's own combat power was very high, and Sun Jian was the commander of the army, so it would be difficult to assassinate him.

Speaking of Cao Cao, we have to mention what Cao Cao is doing now, Cao Cao, as the founder of the Wei State in history, of course he sees the current situation very clearly.

Cao Cao knew that the Han Dynasty was already in decline, and understood that the Han Dynasty at this time was about to crush its last straw, but Cao Cao knew better that no one wanted to be the last straw, because whoever made that straw would become the sinner of the entire Han Dynasty and become the object of everyone's crusade.

Cao Cao has been secretly paying attention to the situation in the world and all the powerful families, and he has also established an intelligence network controlled by himself to understand the world's major events.

Cao Cao's inspiration for establishing an intelligence network was found in Chen Qun. Chen Qun established Chen Ji Restaurant in all the states and counties of the Han Dynasty, which made Cao Cao envious, but Cao Cao did not follow suit, because he had been to Chen Ji Restaurant, and he did not think that he could make food that surpassed Chen Ji Restaurant.

Although Cao Cao did not open a restaurant, Cao Cao was inspired by it and established an intelligence network covering every county in the entire Han Dynasty. Although Cao Cao has no money, Cao Cao has someone.

After Cao Cao established the intelligence network, he focused on the contradictions between Chen Qun and the Ten Standing Servants, and he listed Chen Qun as one of his potential rivals.

It was precisely because of Cao Cao's attention to Chen Qun that Cao Cao knew that Chen Qun had undergone many assassinations, so subconsciously Cao Cao also felt that his safety was not guaranteed, so he also established his own personal guard, although there were only seven people, but all of them were masters.

These seven people are Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Chu, Le Jin, and Li Dian. These seven people were also the first seven people in history to raise troops with Cao Cao, but they were now gathered around Cao Cao four years in advance.

Chen Qun was not clear about Cao Cao's current situation, he only knew that the current Cao Cao must be in Luoyang, so Chen Qun found Wei Da: "Wei Da, I will give you a secret mission, and you will take fourteen male brothers to complete it." ”

Hearing this, Wei Da clenched his fists and said, "The head of the family, please command." ”

Chen Qun nodded and whispered: "You go to Luoyang together to find a person named Cao Cao, and then see if there are any guards around him, if the guards are not strong, you will find an opportunity to kill him." ”

Hearing this, Wei Da frowned and said, "Family master, how old is this Cao Cao?" The subordinates are worried about killing the wrong person. ”

Chen Qun thought for a while and said: "He should be thirty years old now, the word is Meng De, you must first inquire about him before acting, and before acting, you must find out how the guards around him are, don't act recklessly, on the premise of saving the lives of your brothers." ”

"My subordinates understand!" Wei Da clasped his fist at Chen Qun and left quickly.

After Wei Da left, Chen Qun thought that if Wei Da and the others succeeded this time, Cao Cao died like this, then the next history would definitely have to be rewritten, and Chen Qun couldn't help but smile slightly.

After Wei Da and other fifteen people came to Luoyang, they first found out Cao Cao's location with the help of Guan Thirteen's manpower, and learned that Cao Cao lived in Luoyang Cao Mansion, and Cao Cao always brought seven guards with him when he went in and out, Wei Da and his party decided to carry out Chen Qun's order and assassinate Cao Cao.

One day in late September, Wei Da and the others, who had been waiting in Luoyang City for several days, finally waited for a good opportunity, Cao Cao went out in the morning, with the seven guards by his side.

After Wei Da got the news, he immediately took Wei 14 and 14 other brothers, carrying night clothes and setting up an ambush on the road of Cao Cao's return.

After Wei Da waited for Cao Cao and his party to walk into their ambush circle, he first shot arrows at Cao Cao and his party, but to Wei Da's surprise, none of Cao Cao's eight people were hit by arrows, which shows that these eight people are all good.

Although Wei Da saw that Cao Cao and his party of eight people had good skills, but relying on the fact that his own number was twice that of the other party, Wei Da directly led everyone to kill Cao Cao and his party.

Although Cao Cao wondered why someone had actually assassinated him, he still resolutely ordered everyone to fight back. Fortunately, Xiahou Yuan and others have all their skills, and Wei Da and his party can't help Cao Cao and his party two against one, and at the same time, Wei Da found that Cao Cao and his party of eight are all masters of the house.

After Wei Da attacked for a while, he found that Cao Cao's party was too strong, and his own side would be damaged if he continued to fight, so he waved his hand and retreated with his brothers, and Cao Cao also ordered everyone not to chase.

Xiahou Yuan looked at Wei Da and the others who had escaped, and hugged his fists at Cao Cao and said, "Lord, do you want me to follow and see where they are going?" ”

Cao Cao waved his hand: "No, they can't run." ”

After Wei Daxing failed to assassinate Cao Cao, he quickly left Luoyang City with his brothers, and Cao Cao immediately ordered his spies to find out who was going to assassinate him.

Unfortunately, Wei Da and the others who left the Chen Ji Restaurant in Luoyang City and returned to the Chen Ji Restaurant in Luoyang City were all seen by Cao Cao's spies and reported to Cao Cao. Cao Cao deduced from this that the assassins were sent by Chen Qun, because the number of people who went out and returned from Chen Ji was the same as the number of people who assassinated them.

Cao Cao couldn't help frowning and thinking after knowing that Chen Qun had sent someone to assassinate him, because he really didn't understand why Chen Qun did this, and Chen Qun had nothing to do with him. The suspicious Cao Cao naturally attributed the assassination to Chen Qun's investigation of his surveillance of Chen Kee Restaurant.

For this reason, Cao Cao severely reprimanded his subordinates and asked them to give up monitoring Chen Ji Restaurant. And after Cao Cao made this decision, Chen Qun did not send anyone to assassinate him again.

The reason why Chen Qun did not send anyone to assassinate Cao Cao again was because Chen Qun knew that there was no point in assassinating Cao Cao again, and Cao Cao would probably not be assassinated to death.

Chen Qun asked Wei Da to go down to rest and pondered: The failure of the assassination of Cao Cao shows that history is not allowed to be tampered with by himself, a traverser! Since this is the case, then I have to do my best to weaken Cao Cao's future help.

Chen Qun then began to think about the assistants around Cao Cao in history, mainly Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others.

"I have to meet these five people no matter what, if I can't recruit them, I will kill them all, and I must not leave them to Cao Cao." Chen Qun secretly made a decision in his heart.

After Chen Qun made a decision, he began to act, but before Chen Qun could walk away, Wei Da came to report: "Master of the family, Cao Cao greets." ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun frowned and said, "Your whereabouts were discovered by Cao Cao?" ”

Wei Da shook his head: "It shouldn't be the head of the family, and the subordinates have not shown any flaws in their actions." ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Okay, I know, bring Cao Cao over." ”

Wei Da frowned and clenched his fists and said, "Family master, do you want to kill Cao Cao in the mountain city?" ”

Chen Qun shook his head: "Absolutely not!" Don't mention the assassination of Cao Cao in the future, as if it never happened, you brought Cao Cao to me. ”

Not long after Wei Da left, he returned again: "Family master, the seven guards around Cao Cao insisted on following Cao Cao into the mountain city, but the subordinates did not allow it, I don't know what the family master means?" ”

Chen Qun thought for a while and said with a smile: "Bring them in together, and inform me of the two masters, as well as my second brother Guan Yu, Chen Dao, Pang De, and Xu Shu." ”

"Yes!" Wei Da gave Chen Qun a fist salute and turned to leave.

Wei Da acted very carefully, and after he waited for Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, Chen Dao, Pang De, and Xu Shu to come to Chen Qun's side, he took three hundred Chen Jiawei to escort Cao Cao and eight others to see Chen Qun.

Under Chen Qun's deliberate arrangement, a storm party was launched at Chen Qun's house in Shaomu Mountain City.
