Under the west gate of Xin'an City, people and horses are Xiaoxiao.

Zhang Bai rode a white horse under his crotch, the horse was tall and long-legged, his mane was awe-inspiring, his eyes were looking around, and he was staring at the horse. Behind him, there were hundreds of brothers, almost all of their clothes were red and stained with blood, even the blood on the sword and halberd was still dripping and had not yet been erased. Just before, their group of hundreds of people had just gone through a battle and dispersed all the hundreds of bandits in Zhang Sheng in the city, and only then did they rescue their leader Zhang Baiqi.

Now these hundreds of people are behind Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Baiqi and Chen Nuo faced each other for a moment, then pulled the horse forward, hugged his fists and said to Chen Nuo: "Today, Bai Qi I didn't accompany my brother, you drank this wine and hurriedly dispersed, it is really my Bai Qi who can't stand my brother." But please rest assured, brother, if I can be lucky enough to continue to survive this time, he will meet his brother one day, and he should sacrifice his life to accompany his brother You will drink again, brother, what do you think? ”

In the previous battle in the city, although the danger was saved because of the appearance of hundreds of men and horses under Zhang Baiqi's department, it was actually very thrilling. Thinking about it at that time, Zhang Sheng suddenly realized that he had been deceived, he was like thunder, and he didn't care about anything else, he just wanted Zhang Bai to ride to death, beckoned everyone, and desperately went upstairs. However, when they rushed upstairs, Chen Nuo's men guarded the staircase and blocked their way. And it was precisely because of Chen Nuo's action that he delayed the time, allowing Zhang Bai's men and horses to kill one after another, killing them all.

Come to think of it, if Chen Nuo hadn't made a timely move at that time, even if Zhang Baiqi could get out of trouble in the end, he would definitely be embarrassed, or even worry about his life. Therefore, for Chen Nuo's kindness, he Zhang Baiqi kept it in his heart. It's just that he also knows that he is now rushing back to Tianwang Village, and there is a righteous brother Wang who is waiting for him, life and death are unpredictable, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to meet again when he and Chen Nuo say goodbye, so for Chen Nuo's kindness, if he wants to repay it, he can only hope for the future.

When Chen Nuo heard this, he smiled and said, "Why not?" When Brother Bai Qi successfully takes over Tianwang Village, brother, I may have to make a special trip to Brother Bai Qi to ask for a cup of wine to drink. ”

When Zhang Baiqi heard this, he laughed and hugged his fists: "Brother Cheng, you are auspicious!" But...... I suddenly remembered, it seems that I haven't asked my brother for your name until now, and I don't know ...... brother."

"Ahem! It was me who was reckless! ”

Chen Nuo arched his hand to him and said: "The contemptible surname is Chen Mingnuo, and the cursive words are true, Brother Bai Qi can call me by my name!" ”

"Chen Nuo?"

Zhang Baiqi's brows moved unconsciously, he was a little familiar with the name, but he couldn't remember it for a while. He arched his hand and said, "Brother Ran, you and I will say goodbye to each other, let him see each other one day!" ”

Chen Nuo smiled: "It's easy to say!" ”

When Zhang Baiqi heard this, he bowed his head to Chen Nuo, and then glanced at the people behind Chen Nuo, and then he shouted, took the rest of the horses and horses on the road, and looked at the southwest and disappeared. Only Zhang Baiqi and the others roared away, and the Milai girl behind Chen Nuo exhaled fiercely and patted her chest gently. Since she met Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Baiqi inadvertently revealed the sixteen characters in the secret picture of yellow silk in her hand, and she has always been worried, for fear that this thing is his, and he will ask for it back. But fortunately, Zhang Bai never mentioned it again after riding, and even before leaving, she seemed to forget about such a thing, and she could finally let go of this apprehensive heart.

In fact, Zhang Baiqi was anxious about the changes in Tianwangzhai, where did he have the heart to think about other things, and he had already forgotten about it. It was Chen Nuo who reported his name just now, although he felt familiar, but he didn't think much about it. However, when he led the men and horses all the way out of several miles, he suddenly remembered Chen Nuo. Thinking about it, he has been wandering in the area of Hangu Pass, not far from Luoyang, although the news is closed, but he still knows a thing or two about what happened to the east of Luoyang. He had also heard of Chen Nuoqi and knew that Chen Nuo was Yuan Shao's general. What's more, there was a big battle in Yanshi not long ago, and it was rumored that the winner of this war was the person named Chen Nuo. And he shouldn't have been unaware of this person. However, at the moment, because of the hurry, I finally missed him and failed to make a deep friendship, which is really a pity.

Zhang Baiqi sighed lightly and glanced back, it's just another matter, whether he can see Chen Nuo again is another matter, now the most important thing for him now is to rush back to Tianwang Village and prevent Wang Gu from seizing power.

"Drive~~~~!!"

Zhang Bai rode and his party and increased his pace again.

And Chen Nuo and his party under the west gate of Xin'an City also moved, and while it was still early, they had to continue to rush west to Chang'an.

On the way, Zhu Rong Qingyi complained extremely about Chen Nuo's actions in the Xin'an wine shop, and said to Chen Nuo: "Brother Chen, there is a saying that the son of a daughter can't sit down, but you, actually put yourself in danger for a bandit, it's really not worth it!" If something went wrong at that time, what would it be? ”

Chen Nuo saw that Zhu Rong Qingyi didn't speak all the way, and he also knew that she had been muttering about this matter in her heart, and it was difficult for her to hold it until now. Hearing her say it at this time, Fang Cai smiled and said, "Tsing Yi, what kind of person do you say I am?" Am I a reckless person in your eyes? ”

Zhu Rong Qingyi's nose wrinkled, and he stuck out his tongue and said: "Thinking about the situation at that time, and Brother Chen's every move, how can I describe it?" Do you want me to praise Brother Chen, saying that Brother Chen, in order to make friends with a bandit, you didn't even care about your own life, and sent yourself to someone else's knife, how righteous and awe-inspiring you are not afraid of life and death? ”

Chen Nuo smiled, shook his head, and said, "This is just a superficial phenomenon, but haven't you found any other problems in Tsing Yi?" Metaphor Zhang Bai riding ......"

"Zhang Baiqi?"

Zhu Rong Qingyi frowned and said, "Hmph! Zhang Baiqi was just a bachelor at the time, and if his subordinates hadn't appeared in time, they would have been killed by the thieves, and maybe we would have been implicated. ”

When Chen Nuo heard this, he shook his head: "Don't you think that Zhang Baiqi's subordinates appeared too timely, Tsing Yi?" ”

When Zhu Rong Qingyi heard this, it seemed that he had not thought of such a thing until now. That's right, listening to their conversation at the time, Zhang Baiqi once said that he went first, and the people and horses followed, how could he finally appear in time? She was mentioned by Chen Nuo at this time, and couldn't help but taste the aftertaste patiently, and suddenly thought of something, Fang Cai opened his eyes and looked at Chen Nuo: "Brother Chen, are you saying that this white horseman's previous conversation with Zhang Sheng was fake, and his centaurs were actually not behind, but avoided Zhang Sheng's eyeliner, and had already been ambushed inside and outside the city?" So Zhang Baiqi led Zhang Sheng out, was it Zhang Baiqi's premeditated plan? ”

Chen Nuo smiled: "Premeditated may not be, this is probably Zhang Bai's second-hand preparation for riding him." ”

Zhu Rong Qingyi saw the smile on the corner of Chen Nuo's mouth, and immediately woke up: "Oh, I know, no wonder I persuaded Brother Chen to let you go, Brother Chen, not only did you not listen, but also decided to intervene, I think it was probably Chen Nuo that you had already discovered something from Zhang Baiqi at that time, right?" ”

"Clever!"

Chen Nuo smiled and said: "Thinking about the situation at that time, he Zhang Bai rode in the face of Zhang Sheng's hundreds of people and horses and was still calm and calm, and had no fear, if he didn't have a way back, how could he have such leisure to continue drinking with me?" And I, since I can see his mind, naturally I don't have to worry about it for him. Of course, when I drank with him, I was naturally delaying time for him and waiting for the rescuers. ”

In fact, speaking of this matter, in the battle in the city, the reason why Zhang Baiqi was fearless was really because there were people and horses outside the city. No matter how bold he is, he has to be prepared second-hand, and before he passed Zhang Sheng's realm, he deliberately hid his power outside, because he naturally didn't want to conflict with Zhang Sheng's people. It's just that in the end, Zhang Sheng was lured, and although he never left the wine shop, it was because of the guards hidden behind him, and they ran out of the city at the moment of the accident, bringing people and horses from outside the city, and then the siege was lifted.

"I see!"

Zhu Rong Qingyi finally understood when he heard Chen Nuo say this, it turned out that Chen Nuo was not a blind hero, but because of careful observation, he had already seen his own situation clearly, so he boldly made the decision to stay. And this decision not only allowed Chen Nuo to win the name of chivalry, but also won the favor of Zhang Baiqi, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

Chen Nuo saw Zhu Rong Qingyi's face, so he smiled and looked towards the southwest. When he saw Zhang Baiqi for the first time, he saw that he was burly and courageous, but he was just a reckless man at most. However, after this incident, he Chen Nuo also put his mind at ease, believing that with Zhang Baiqi's means and martial bravery, he should not be able to suffer at the hands of his righteous brother Wang Gu, and he probably won this Tianwangzhai......

Thinking of this, Chen Nuo also exhaled lightly, and was about to hit the horse forward, but he didn't expect Milai to follow quietly next to him, and said to Chen Nuo: "General, how are you thinking about it?" ”

"Consider? What to consider? ”

Chen Nuo was a little stunned by what she said.

"Naturally, that's the ...... That one...... Let's play double. It's been repaired......"

“……”

Suddenly seeing Milai's hungry eyes, Chen Nuo's whole body trembled, and he almost fell off the horse.

………………

At the same time that Chen Nuoxi went to Chang'an, his achievements in the first battle of Yanshi had also been reported to Yuan Shao's case, and coincidentally, at the same time that Chen Nuo killed the forces in Luoyang around Zhang Ji's three families in one fell swoop, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, at this time, because of an accident, let him lead the Yanzhou pastor.

Here's what happened on Cao Cao's side.

Before this, he Cao Cao broke away from Yuan Shao's control and led his own men and horses to fight in Yanzhou, fighting against a group of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans that poured into Yanzhou. Cao Cao also repelled the Yellow Turban several times because of repeated battles, and gradually accumulated some power. However, there are more than wars in the world, and so are the yellow scarves pouring into Qingzhou. Just a few years ago, another group of Yellow Turbans invaded Yanzhou and killed Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou. At this time, Bao Xin, a native of the state, took Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou and temporarily took charge of Yanzhou affairs. After that, Cao Cao's soldiers went out of Shouzhang, although they defeated the Yellow Turban, but his friend Bao Xin also died in this battle. At present, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban has retreated, and Yanzhou has also been temporarily stabilized, so Cao Cao and others went to the Son of Heaven, hoping to be the pastor of Yanzhou. Of course, because Cao Cao had relied on Yuan Shao before, and was still nominally Yuan Shao's subordinate, he still had to write to Yuan Shao about this matter, hoping to get his acquiescence.

And when these two pieces of news were sent to Yuan Shao's case, Yuan Shao was still in Bohai, and he was still in an endless battle with Gongsun Zhan. It's hateful, after the defeat of Gongsun Zhan from the boundary bridge, it is a bit of a bit of a battle to grow wise, and it is becoming more and more difficult to deal with. And because the Bohai Sea is too close to Youzhou, the base camp of Gongsun Zhan, whether it is the transportation of grain and grass or the convenience of the terrain, it is better than Yuan Shao, but it is a little difficult for Yuan Shao to annihilate Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop.

Yuan Shao didn't take advantage of the Bohai battlefield, and at this time he received these two pieces of news one after another, how can he not be annoyed? Thinking about it, he has achieved nothing as the boss, but the two younger brothers have achieved something, in Yuan Shao's opinion, there is really no reason, it is too embarrassing, and there is a faint anger in his heart. No, Mingli asked his staff to discuss how to reward Cao Cao and Chen Nuo, but secretly found Feng Ji and other henchmen from time to time to ask them for advice.

This opinion, of course, is not a good opinion, probably his henchman Feng Ji does not need to listen, and he can judge it from Yuan Shao's color alone. It seems that Yuan Shao is unhappy.

Yuan Shao is unhappy, Chen Nuo and Cao Cao are probably going to suffer too!

Na Feng Ji listened to Yuan Shao's inquiry, and was silent for a while, before he said: "Let's talk about Cao Cao first, although he ostensibly consulted Yuan Gong about your intentions and asked Yuan Gong to let him have the right to lead Yanzhou Mu, but that is only a superficial article. Thinking about it, if he really took Yuan Gong in his eyes, it would not be today's situation of cutting first and then playing. Therefore, although Yuan Gong, although you are twelve points unhappy at this time, if you want to disagree, I am afraid that it may not be effective......"

Yuan Shao patted the handsome case, and his face was horizontal: "You mean Cao Cao. His wings have grown stiff, and I can't move him? ”

Feng Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course I don't mean that." Thinking about it, Gong Yuan, you can completely leave Gongsun Zan alone at this time, and then transfer the troops to directly turn around to deal with Cao Cao. Thinking that Cao Cao had just fought with the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, although he had gathered some men and horses, his own strength had already been damaged, and he would definitely not be able to resist Yuan Gong's soldiers and horses. But did Yuan Gong think about it, even if Yuan Gong punished Cao Cao and swept Cao Cao out of Yanzhou, then how would the yellow scarves that poured from Qingzhou deal with it at that time? Not to mention this, but what is even worse is that Jizhou is not stable at this time, although his Gongsun Zhan is temporarily cowering on the line of the Bohai Sea, he will be willing to lie dormant at this time, and wait for Yuan Gong You will finish cleaning up Cao Cao and then fight with you, I'm afraid it won't, right? ”

“……”

Although Yuan Shao couldn't swallow this breath, he was not a person with a hot brain that he didn't know how serious it was, and when he heard Feng Ji say this, he couldn't help but gasp and pondered carefully. And Feng Ji continued to analyze for him: "I believe that before the land of Hebei is not pacified, and Gongsun Chan has not been cut off, what you need most is a helper, Yuan Gong. And with this helper, you can help Yuan Gong stabilize the situation in Yanzhou and attract the yellow scarves in Qingzhou, which is the most beneficial to Yuan Gong. And if there is no stability behind it, how can we quell the rebellion in Hebei and unify the four states? Yuan Gong, the so-called small intolerable will make a big plan, I hope Yuan Gong can understand this! ”

"Say no more! I know. ”

Yuan Shao hit the case and finalized: "Talk back to Cao Mengde, and say that the general agrees with him to take the right to take Yanzhou." ”

"Good!"

Feng Ji nodded, and then said: "As for Luoyang Chen Nuo...... To be honest, he was able to fight in the land of Wanluo with 3,000 soldiers and horses, not only was he undefeated, but also used the Yanshi battlefield to attract Xiliang Zhang Ji, Guo Yan, Li Dao, etc. Come to think of it, this land of Wanluo is close to the heart of Xiliang, if you can use the land obtained by Chen Nuo to connect with the department of Zhou Ang, the assassin of Yuzhou, to deter Guanzhong, then everything can be done, and it will be of great benefit to you, general......"

Before Feng Ji finished speaking, he saw Yuan Shao's face sink, and he swallowed and said: "Yes, Chen Nuo wiped out tens of thousands of his Xiliang thieves with only 3,000 men, which is really gratifying!" ”

When he said this, there was a little bit of 'joy', and he already had a fire in his heart. Thinking about it, he Chen Nuo asked himself to guard Wanluo, but he got his consent, only because he didn't want Chen Nuo to make trouble in Wanluo. However, now it is different, he Chen Nuo not only made a fuss, but also made such a fuss, which was really beyond Yuan Shao's expectations. With his temperament, how can he rest assured of such a capable person? Do you want him to train a second Cao Cao so that he can have a headache in the future?

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Looking at Yuan Shao's face at this time, he could not understand the jealousy in Yuan Shao's words. He rolled his eyes, that is, he followed Yuan Shao's meaning, and said: "Of course, although this Chen Nuo is a general, he has also made some contributions in this battle, and he can't be unappreciated." To put it simply, it doesn't hurt to let Chen Nuo continue to guard Wanluo, but most of Wanluo's places have become barren places after several battles, even if it is to defend it, it is not interesting, it is better to ...... It's better to call him back in time......"

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that you mean the same thing from Yuantu?" ”

Feng Ji nodded, but then said: "It's just that Chen Nuo has just gone to Wanluo not long ago, and he has made great contributions, and he is afraid that it will be inappropriate to suddenly call him back at this time, and it will inevitably cause criticism from others." ”

Yuan Shao could only nod when he heard him: "It seems that it is not easy to recall Chen Nuo now." In the meantime, there is still an opportunity missing. ”

Yes, an opportunity, as long as this opportunity is sufficient, I am not afraid of outsiders to say.

Feng Ji sank down, his face stiffened, and his head turned electrically: "Opportunity, what kind of opportunity?" ”

At this moment, Yuan Tan asked to see him outside the tent. Hearing Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, Feng Ji's eyes lit up, the opportunity came!
