Chapter 158: People from Hebei
"General save me!"
Xu Rong entered the big tent and opened his mouth with this sentence. Chen Nuo sounded funny, and he didn't know what he was going to sell, so he simply held his arms with his hands and didn't say a word, wanting to see his next performance. Sure enough, Xu Rong immediately poured bitter water towards Chen Nuo and talked about what happened along the way: "I came with Li Duwei, representing the imperial court and doing things for the imperial court. Even if we act unfavorably, in the end, we can still be regarded as envoys of the Son of Heaven, and if we want to kill them, we will be executed by our own court. However, for some reason, the Marquis of Lu Wenhou suddenly led his troops to Hongnong, arrested Li Duwei and beheaded him, which was really an act of overstepping his authority and a traitorous minister. When Rong heard about this, he was deeply gnashed, wanting to find him for a theory, but he was afraid that this son would kill indiscriminately. wanted to ignore and return to Chang'an, but the road was blocked by Lu Wenhou and could not move forward. Rong thought about it left and right, thinking that today only General Chen is a righteous person, a hero, he will not see this son's evil deeds, if Rong comes to ask, General Chen will not stay out of the matter, he will see the injustice and draw a sword to help. Yes, Rong did not hesitate to go through this difficult and dangerous journey, in order to beg General Chen to be proud of your decision and save Rong! ”
When Chen Nuo heard this, he smiled and asked, "Lord Xu, you can't help but put the heroes of the world in your eyes, but I'm afraid that everyone who died will blame me." However, why did Lord Xu only think of me, is there really no hero in the world? ”
Xu Rong nodded, and immediately said: "Today, who doesn't know the sins of Dong Thief, but when Dong Zhuo was alive, when Xiliang Zhang Ji, Li Dao, Guo Yan and other generations were in trouble Chen Liu, Yingchuan, all the generations in the Kanto region were rats, avoiding their edge and not daring to face it. At this time, only you, the general, not only confronted the thieves head-on, but also killed Zhang Ji and others outside the pass, which was really popular in the world. Thinking that there are such heroes, can Rong Yan be the first to think of it? As for the people of the world, Rong doesn't know. ”
Chen Nuo laughed, he didn't expect Xu Rong to be so good at talking, and he was embarrassed to be praised by him. Only his eyes rolled, and then he smiled: "But how do I think, now I am the only one near Guanzhong, Lord Xu, you chose me, but it was a last resort, not Guan Hero, right?" As soon as these words came out, Xu Rong almost nodded. However, after thinking about it, he immediately shook his head: "Yes...... It's not, it's not! His mouth was not, but his eyes were rolling, and he was ashamed: "How is it not?" But he gave a word. However, he does have some skills, but he is not at all. I think he can kill Zhang Ji and others when Dong Zhuo is alive, and dare to risk the condemnation of the world, but he deserves the word 'hero', otherwise I would not entrust my life to him. Thinking about it like this, because he was a little weak-hearted, he couldn't help but pinch a handful of cold sweat in his palms, and his body trembled slightly.
Chen Nuo observed carefully on the side, and immediately saw it, but said in his heart: "This guy, I also said that how he spoke so beautifully, he dared to make a draft in advance." Although Xu Rong told a lie, Chen Nuo already had another idea in his heart. Thinking about it, Xu Rong had to flee because he heard about Li Su's death and was afraid that he would be killed by Lu Bu because of this matter. Only he had nowhere else to go, so he could only turn to beg him, but this mouth was not easy to open, so he used the excuse to let him make the decision for him, first won his sympathy, and then slowly tried to make other plans. After all, he did this just to prepare to serve him. Since Xu Rong had no bad intentions, Chen Nuo didn't think much about it in his heart, just smiled and said to him: "Lu Wenhou has quite strong soldiers and horses in his hands, with this little man and horse in my hand, I'm afraid that it is not enough to stuff his teeth between his teeth, Lord Xu, you let me be the master for you, isn't it too child's play?" Come to think of it, what will I do for you? ”
Xu Rong's original intention was not to ask him to 'make the decision' for him, but just to use an excuse to enter Chen Nuo's army, beg for a bite to eat, and find a dependence. As soon as he heard Chen Nuo say, he immediately said, "This...... Rong also knew that this matter was in a hurry, so he didn't dare to bother the general to do it immediately. Chen Nuo's temptation had already confirmed that he knew his original intention, and then he was relieved, thought about it, and said: "Of course, according to the current situation, the Xiliang people have been killed to Chang'an, and the momentum is huge, even if Lu Wenhou has the intention to stay here for a long time, he will not be able to do so, and he will inevitably be recalled to Chang'an by Wang Situ." Therefore, there is no need to do anything about this matter, and it will naturally come to pass. When you want to come, wait for Lu Wenhou to leave, and Lord Xu can return to Chang'an. ”
When Xu Rong heard this, he trembled, and immediately said: "Because of the Xiliang incident, Lu Wenhou even dared to kill his own fellow countryman Li Su, not to mention that I am an outsider, even if I go back to Chang'an, I am afraid that Lu Wenhou will not be able to spare me......" As soon as Xu Rong said this, he also said his true heart, and Chen Nuo suddenly understood. Although Xu Rong once had a record of ambushing Cao Cao, and killed Cao Cao almost all of his troops, he was also a rare general, and Chen Nuo naturally had an extra arm when he received him. It's just that Xu Rong is Dong Zhuo's old department after all, and he himself is a Hebei general, he has passed this pass, but Yuan Shao has a sad pass. Speaking of which, when Yuan Shao raised the army, his uncle Yuan Kui's family was killed by Dong Zhuo, and the hatred between Yuan Shao and the Xiliang people can be said to be incompatible, although Xu Rong has been pardoned by the imperial court, but it is the old department of Xiliang for a long time, Yuan Shao saw him, but he was afraid that he would not let him go.
Xu Rong saw that Chen Nuo seemed to be moved, and immediately knelt down and bowed to Chen Nuo: "I really don't hide it from the general, now Rong is desperate, and he can't be taken in if he is not a general." In any case, the general will save Rong and save him, Rong is grateful, and he is willing to die to repay the general's great kindness today! ”
Xu Rong used to be the Taishou of Xingyang, and he was the deputy envoy of the imperial court, except for the title of Chen Guoting Hou who did not have Chen Nuo, but his official position was almost the same level as Chen Nuo's Henan Yin, and now in order to enter his account to perform this big gift, Chen Nuo naturally couldn't bear it, so he quickly stretched out his hands, supported his arms, and said: "What is Lord Xu doing, if you have anything to say, get up and say it quickly, why bother?" Xu Rong was not surprised, but said vigorously: "Please ask the general to promise Rong, and Rong will get up." ”
It's a bit of a scoundrel.
Chen Nuo frowned, and said, "You get up first...... pull him up, and then said, "Lord Xu is the first to think of a certain person when he is in difficulty, and he is very moved, which means that Lord Xu You can afford to be so-and-so, that is, if nothing else, how can you help Lord Xu get through this difficulty." It's just that this matter is not something I can do if I promised, but it is a matter of ......."
Speaking of this, Chen Nuo did not continue, and sighed lightly, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
Seeing Chen Nuo's actions like this, Xu Rong's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood the key, and immediately said: "General Chen is a subordinate of the Yuan family in Hebei after all, and the Yuan family hates my old people in Xiliang to the core. Glory...... Rong will go. Xu Rong said, bowed to Chen Nuo, and then turned around to leave the big tent. However, Chen Nuo's body moved, his teeth were gritted, and he said, "Lord Xu, slow down!" Listen to me! Seeing Xu Rong turn around, Chen Nuo immediately said: "Although this matter has Lord Xu without General Yuan, and General Yuan without Master Xu, but when Lord Xu is in trouble, he asks me, how can I put it out of the way?" ”
When Xu Rong heard Chen Nuo's words, his brows moved slightly, and then he said, "It's absolutely inappropriate!" If the general offends General Yuan because he saved me, and thus gets implicated, this is the last thing Rong wants to see. When Chen Nuo heard this, he immediately said: "Lord Xu, don't say it again, since I decided to intervene in this matter, I offended General Yuan because of this, and I admit it!" "Xu Rongfei is not a reasonable person, and he knows very well that Chen Nuo is now under Yuan Shao's account, and he has to rely on Yuan Shao for everything, so he really can't fall out with Yuan Shao. Come to think of it, if this incident made his two families unhappy, Yuan Shao would cut off Chen Nuo's military rations, which would be like choking the throat of Chen Nuo's army, and it would inevitably affect Chen Nuo. He didn't think about it before, he only thought that maybe only Chen Nuo could save him today, so he took this big risk to come to see him, and now that he thinks about it, he no longer expects Chen Nuo to help him. What's more, under the current circumstances, Chen Nuo knew that saving him would not be tolerated by Yuan Shao, but he still insisted on doing so, which made Xu Rong feel moved and even more ashamed, and couldn't bear to affect Chen Nuo.
Xu Rong bowed to Chen Nuo: "This can't work!" It's a big deal, I'll go see Lu Wenhou, if he wants to kill him, let him go! ”
Chen Nuo grabbed his sleeve and said, "No! I promise to do what I say, how can I regret it? You just don't want me to help you today, and I'm going to help too. ”
"This ......"
In addition to being moved, Xu Rong really has nothing else to say. He stomped his feet and said again and again, "The general is known for his righteousness, but Rong can't affect the general's ......" Before the sentence was finished, Chen Nuo frowned together, and suddenly said: "Don't talk nonsense, do you want me to help?" If you want me to help, you look up to me, even if you help me fulfill my name of faith; If you don't let me help, you look down on me, and that makes me lose my trust in the world. Whether you want me to help or not, you just have a happy word. ”
"Ugh!"
Xu Rong secretly broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't expect that Chen Nuo would actually start to 'reverse black and white' in order to help him, in addition to being moved, he was still moved. But now that this matter has been suddenly raised to this height by Chen Nuo, whether he helps or not, will hurt Chen Nuo, how can this be good? Xu Rong hadn't spoken yet, but Chen Nuo said again: "Forget it, I'll give you a choice, there is a way that faith is greater than life, and you can't bear to see me lose my trust in the world, right?" In this way, you will fulfill me, let me help you once, and you will help me. ”
"This ......"
Xu Rong thought about it, and wanted to refuse, but he didn't want Chen Nuo to come forward, took his arm, and whispered to him: "Lord Xu doesn't want me to interfere, are you worried that this matter will affect me?" If that's the case, there's a best of both worlds here, but I'm just going to wronged you, Lord Xu. ”
"The best of both worlds?"
Xu Rong's body moved, but he thought in his heart that it was better not to leave or not, and then he arched his hand to Chen Nuo and said: "If you can have the best of both worlds, it is okay to let Rong reverse his name!" Xu Rong only said it casually, not wanting Chen Nuo to hear it, he was in the middle of it, laughed, and applauded: "Reverse the name?" Xu Rong, Rong Xu? This is a good idea, as long as you are anonymous under my account and don't let General Yuan find out, he naturally won't know that you are the old department of Xiliang, and he can't blame you, you can get away with it in my account, and you won't be able to implicate me, let alone make you feel guilty because of this, but this is a good plan to get the best of both worlds. However, Xu Rong turned Rong Xu upside down, this Rong Xu...... In the end, it is still easy to make people think. It's better to do this, you still have a 'Rong' word in your name, as for the surname, just follow my surname Chen, and if you enter my account, you will be called Chen Rong, okay? ”
"Chen Rong?"
Xu Rong casually said that he didn't want to exchange for a fake name, and he almost choked. However, he thought left and right, the current situation, either go to Lu Bu to receive death, or obediently change his surname and change his name to stay under Chen Nuo's account, but he was not allowed to have a second choice. Although it is a bit sorry for the ancestors to change the surname, in the end it can still be reluctantly accepted, which can be regarded as a compromise in adversity. What's more, Chen Nuo gave him his real surname 'Chen', which was somewhat worthy of him, but it was not good to live up to his kindness. Thinking of this, Xu Rong didn't hesitate any longer, bowed his head, and said, "Chen Rong has seen the general, and General Xie has allowed the grace." ”
Chen Nuo nodded and said, "I don't know if the general has a table?" "Although I am somewhat familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, I have no impression of Xu Rong's words at all, and it is not true that there is no record or it has been lost. When Xu Rong heard this, he nodded to Chen Nuo and said, "Rong has a long history." ”
"Changqiu?" Chen Nuo thought in his mouth, and then said: "There is a saying that 'one year old and one withered glory', and the long autumn has the meaning of eternity, never exhausted, and this long autumn is good." Seeing that Xu Rong was still prostrating himself on the ground, he hurriedly lifted his hand up: "Changqiu, for the time being, I have wronged you under the general's account." ”
Xu Rong's body moved, and he didn't dare to say anything, but he glanced at Chen Nuo hesitantly. Chen Nuo also glanced back at him suspiciously, and asked, "What, Changqiu, do you have anything else to tell me?" Xu Rong nodded and said, "This matter was originally what I should have said when I saw the general, but I was afraid that the general would blame me, so I dragged it out to the end." This matter, presumably the general, you should also know from General Zhao Xue, speaking of the general's 'parents', Rong really ......" Chen Nuo admired Xu Rong's cleverness, and actually pressed this matter to the end before saying it. I think he first begged him for help, so as to win his sympathy, regardless of whether he finally agreed or not, anyway, as long as he asked for this matter, his anger towards him was bound to be weakened by three points, and it was no longer appropriate to mention his 'parents' when the time came. Chen Nuo didn't blame Xu Rong for being cunning, but he smiled and said, "Life and death are fate, and you can't be blamed for this matter." But Changqiu can collect the corpses for my 'parents', so that my 'parents' will not be in the wilderness, in the end, it is a favor to me, that is, I let Changqiu you enter my account, in the final analysis, the two things are still offset, Changqiu, you don't have to thank me. ”
"How dare you!"
Xu Rong didn't expect Chen Nuo to act so clearly, but he was a downright man, but he blamed himself for the careful eyes he played before. Chen Nuo thought for a while, and then said: "However, Changqiu, you were still Xingyang Taishou before, and you were the deputy envoy to Shaanxi County this time, if you are under my account, it is not easy to arrange." If I give up my position as a martial arts general and let you command my own troops and horses, I am afraid that General Yuan will not be able to say it, but if you let Changqiu you succumb to me, it will be inappropriate. ”
Xu Rong heard what Chen Nuo said, and hurriedly said: "Rong can enter the general's account, and Rong is lucky, Rong doesn't dare to ask for anything else, just want to be a pawn under the general's account, it's enough in my heart!" Chen Nuo thought for a while and said: "Changqiu is a fierce general in the West, who once commanded thousands of men and horses under Dong Zhuo's tent, and defeated Cao Mengde in Xingyang, he is really a tiger general, how can a pawn be a pawn?" In this way, if Changqiu does not give up, he will first enter my account as the chief bookkeeper of the march, what do you think? ”
The marching master is a civilian official in the army, who warns the documents and handles affairs, similar to the political commissar or staff officer, who is closest to the chief general, and his authority is not small. Xu Rong was promoted to this position as soon as he came up, which can be regarded as generous. It's just that he didn't have the heart to pursue him as a military general, and it was inconvenient for him to be a military general, so he humbly accepted it after two sentences. Only he thought about it, and thought that he had brought hundreds of men and horses with him this time, but he, a civilian official, was not good at commanding these horses, so he took the opportunity to hand over the soldiers and horses. Chen Nuo was very satisfied with his knowledge of current affairs, and accepted this team after a few polite words with him.
He immediately appeased him again, and before he could say anything, he suddenly broke in from outside the tent and Zhu Rong Qingyi with a bad look on his face. Chen Nuo saw it in his eyes, and first asked Xu Rong to go down to rest, and he asked Zhu Rong Qingyi here: "What made Qingyi so flustered?" Zhu Rong Qingyi fixed his body and said to Chen Nuo: "General, someone from Hebei is here!" ”
"Someone from Hebei?"
Chen Nuo didn't understand it for a while, but after thinking about it, he immediately reacted: "Someone from Hebei? Who has come, and where is it now? Zhu Rong Tsing Yi replied: "They ...... They were just outside the camp, and the guy who took the lead seemed to be Xu Yu. ”
"What, they're already here?"
It's hard to say about this matter, why did Hebei suddenly send Xu You over, what did it mean? Could it be that the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan has entered a stalemate, or is Yuan Shao in a disadvantageous situation and wants him to go back to help? If so, how? Speaking of which, it took Chen Nuo a few months to finally lay the foundation for the current situation, with more than 10,000 people controlled near Yanshi, which is equivalent to having a small foundation. Now, the foundation has not yet grown strongly, and Hebei has sent people to kill him, and they have killed him directly, do they want to strangle him in the cradle? Chen Nuo was restless in his heart, the situation of going west at this time was not conducive to him, and the foundation of his Yanshi was not completely solid, if Yuan Shao asked him to go back at this time, he didn't know how to deal with it. Not from? Where is the capital? Since he has no capital to compete with Yuan Shao, he can only obey his orders. And in this way, the situation that Yanshi had finally opened was easily forced to give up, which really made Chen Nuo unwilling.
What to do?
Looking at Chen Nuo's anxious look, in fact, Zhu Rong Qingyi could guess Chen Nuo's complicated thoughts from it. But she didn't know how to comfort him at this time, so she pulled her arm to Chen Nuo's arm, pulled him, and said: "Brother Chen, there is a saying that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and you haven't seen anyone yet, so why bother with yourself first?" Maybe things aren't as bad as Brother Chen thinks, but aren't your troubles disturbing yourself? Brother Chen, is Tsing Yi right? ”
For some reason, when he heard Zhu Rong Tsing Yi call him Brother Chen, he felt very kind, and he had no worries. Chen Nuo glanced at Zhu Rong Qingyi, withdrew his hand, patted Zhu Rong Qingyi's shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "It's still Tsing Yi who is right, but I'm confused." Go ahead, go and invite that guy Xu Yu up, I'm going to get to meet them. ”
Zhu Rong Qingyi didn't see Chen Nuo worried, and his heart was also relieved, and he immediately smiled lightly and said, "Yes!" Brother Chen, you wait! ”
Zhu Rong Qingyi turned around and walked out of the big tent, and Chen Nuo returned to the front of the case, silent. Although Zhu Rong Qingyi's words were good, he was always uneasy and anxious. Zhu Rong Qingyi left, Chen Nuo returned to the front of the case, and someone walked in from outside the tent, but it was Zhao Xue. As soon as Zhao Xue came in, she immediately asked Chen Nuo: "Big brother, I heard that someone from Hebei is coming?" "Hey, you know that?" Chen Nuo didn't expect Zhao Xue's news to be so flexible. Zhao Xue said to him: "Big brother forgot, I collected the bones of my uncle and aunt in the front camp, how do I not know the movement outside the camp?" When I heard this, I knew that you would be troubled, big brother, so I came and looked. ”
Chen Nuo nodded, in order not to let Zhao Xue worry, but smiled freely and said, "What is there to worry about, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Zhao Xue stared at Chen Nuo, pouted and said, "Big brother, you are smiling so fakely." Chen Nuo laughed: "Really? But he ignored it and looked back at the wooden case. I thought that as long as I stared at the words on the bamboo slips, my troubles would naturally be gone. No, the official script on the bamboo slip seems to be against him, and it is also laughing at him. Chen Nuo was troubled, so he couldn't stand it anymore and looked away.
Zhao Xue was so careful, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Big brother, although Yanshi Xue'er has not been fortunate enough to participate in a series of battles, Xue'er knows your ambitions, big brother. Come to think of it, big brother, you are willing to risk the disapproval of the world, and when Dong Zhuo was alive, he dared to kill the three generals of Xiliang Zhang Ji, Li Dao, and Guo Yan, although there is inevitably a suspicion of grandstanding, but others don't know, but I know that the general, you do this, not only for this, but also for the future. ”
Chen Nuo was slightly stunned, but he had never told Zhao Xue about this idea, but he didn't expect Zhao Xue to see through it at a glance. He didn't mean to deny it at this time, and there was no need to deny it, Zhao Xue was like a relative to him, who else could he believe if he didn't believe Zhao Xue? Only his eyes rolled, then he smiled softly and said, "Oh, Xue'er, you mean 'future'?" Thinking about it, I just slaughtered two nasty roadblocks on the way, so why would I put on such a big shackle and pull it to the 'future'? Isn't this 'future' a bit far away? ”
Zhao Xue was calm as usual and said, "Really? But I know that big brother, your duty is just to guard Wanluo. Since it's a 'town guard', why do you need to make such a big disturbance in the Yanshi area, it seems a bit of a fuss? Besides, even if Zhang Ji hates them, the big brother will find a way to give them a little hardship, so that they can retreat. Such a big movement not only made Dong Zhuo's side shake, but I am afraid that General Yuan's side will also be impressed by you, big brother, right? But big brother, you still didn't hesitate to do it in the end, in addition to saying that big brother, you are planning for the long term and the future, what other explanation can you have? ”
When Chen Nuo heard this, he smiled bitterly: "You have seen through this point Xue'er, and you are really thoughtful, so you have to accept it." Xue'er, do you know, I suddenly regretted it a little, regretting that I shouldn't have promised Xu Rong the post of marching bookkeeper, it would be quite appropriate for you. Zhao Xue smiled and said, "It turns out that you have already taken in General Xu, big brother, which is really gratifying!" Chen Nuo smiled, shook his head and said: "Wrong, there is no General Xu here, but there is a marching master book named Chen Rongzi Changqiu, can Xue'er understand?" Zhao Xue was so smart, thinking of Xu Rong's identity, he knew what Chen Nuo meant, and hurriedly said: "Yes!" Cher understood. ”
Chen Nuo joked with Zhao Xue like this, his heart was a little relaxed, he glanced at Xue'er, and said: "Xue'er, let me tell you the truth, what you just analyzed is actually still reasonable, I have to admit it." Originally, I thought that others would not be able to see my intentions when I killed Zhang Ji and others, but Yuan Shao and the others knew that at most they would say that I was nonsense, and they should not just mess with Xiliang people. As for Dong Zhuo, if I hadn't calculated well, I naturally wouldn't dare to anger him easily. Originally, I thought that after taking the Yanshi, I would pick up the 'parents' from Chang'an and put the 'parents' in the army for the elderly. As long as there is a little foundation here, it is not afraid of the pressure exerted by Hebei. However, now that they have arrived, my intuition tells me that I am afraid that my idea will eventually fail. ”
confirmed his conjecture, Zhao Xue was not moved, but listened to Chen Nuo's helpless words, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with him, and said in his heart: "Hey! Speaking of which, Yuan Shao has always had a suspicious attitude towards his eldest brother, and it is no wonder that the eldest brother can't stand the pressure of Hebei and has the idea of self-reliance, which is a good thing. However, as soon as the eldest brother had an idea and made a little achievement, the Hebei side suddenly sent someone, and it is no wonder that the eldest brother was in pain at this time and hesitated to follow the orders of the Hebei side. It's a pity that I can't help my big brother at this time, I can only watch my big brother feel uncomfortable, I'm really sorry for my big brother! ”
Zhao Xue felt guilty in her heart, so she stepped forward to hold Chen Nuo's arm and give him a little comfort. However, at this time, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the tent, and someone reported: "General, Lord Xu Yu has brought it!" As soon as Zhao Xue's body moved, she knew that it was Zhurong Qingyi when she heard the voice. Chen Nuo returned to the front of the case and let Zhao Xue stand next to him, and then let Zhu Rong Qingyi lead Xu You into the account. That Xu Yu was born thin and long, with a beard, but his eyes were shining, and as soon as he entered the tent, he stared at Chen Nuo, and said with a smile: "Haha, General Chen, it really makes me easy to find, I didn't expect you to be here, now you can't run!" ”
Speaking of which, Xu Youqi knew Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others when he was young. In the early years, he also connected with Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, and Zhou Jing of Peiguo, to prepare to abolish Emperor Ling of Han and establish the Marquis of Hefei instead, and tried to persuade Cao Cao to start an incident together, but Cao Cao refused. After that, Wang Fen also wanted to take advantage of Emperor Han Ling's northern tour to send troops on the grounds of preventing black mountain thieves, but in the end, because Emperor Han Ling got the news in advance, he summoned Wang Fen to the court, Wang Fen committed suicide because of fear, and Xu You and others fled. Later, Yuan Shao also worked with Xu You in Jingshi, but because of Dong Zhuo's chaos, Yuan Shao had to flee from Dong Zhuo, and Xu You has been following Yuan Shao, it can be said that Yuan Shao's confidant, and his degree of being Yuan Shao's cronies is no less than Fengji. When he was in Yecheng, Chen Nuo also met Xu You a few times, but he was not impressed. Only he didn't expect that Yuan Shao would actually send a confidant like Xu Yu over this time, it seems that Yuan Shao attaches great importance to this trip, which is also the reason for Chen Nuo's worry.
Xu You has already entered the account, in fact, Chen Nuo has already gotten up from the front of the handsome case, pretended to be happy, ran forward, and saw Xu You. Xu You hurriedly returned the salute and teased: "How polite General Chen is, I think General Chen has a heavy army in his hands, and he is still a martial arts lieutenant general under General Yuan, Bohai is too guarded, compared to me, the old guy is much more popular, I really don't deserve such a big gift from the general." Oh, by the way, I also heard on the way that now the imperial court has assigned the land of Henan to the general, and the general is named Henan Yin, and the general has also been given a marquis of Chen Guoting, which is really gratifying, gratifying! It's better to be better, it's better to be better! ”
Chen Nuo knew that he was trying to ridicule him, and he was afraid of misunderstanding, so he hurriedly explained: "The imperial court looked up to me because I killed the three generals of Xiliang Zhang Ji, Guo Yan, and Li Dao, so it gave me a nominal Henan Yin, plus the marquis of Chen Guoting. In fact, speaking of which, this is just a false position, how can it be taken seriously, where is the reality of the future of Bohai Taishou and Wugong Zhonglang that General Yuan gave me? What's more, although the imperial court has sealed me, but there is no letter, isn't this a joke? ”
Xu You laughed when he heard this, and said, "Oh, there are such things? It seems that the imperial court is really confused, and it is actually taking the general as a child's play. But you don't have to be discouraged, general, it's okay if the general ignores those, but this time you came to send the general to really come. Speaking of which, this is really better than those nominal Henan Yin and Chen Guoting, I don't know how many times, General Guan Bao, you are satisfied. Haha, I'm going to congratulate you first, General! Congratulations! ”
When Chen Nuo heard this, his body tightened, and he immediately smiled: "Oh, I don't know where this joy comes from?" ”
Xu You smiled and said, "This is happy...... suddenly rolled his eyes, and said, "Ah, you have come all the way, it's not hard, it's all the way...... It seems that I haven't eaten anything full, now, now ......" Xu You opened his mouth to beg for food, but Chen Nuo was amused, he immediately said: "I heard that Lord Xu is here, I have already ordered to go down to prepare a meal for Lord Xu, just in Zuoying, Lord Xu might as well go with me, presumably the food should be ready when I get there." ”
"Make, make!"
Xu You smiled, and under the leadership of Chen Nuo, he stroked his fine beard under his chin and immediately turned around and went out of the account. After getting out of the account, Chen Nuo also deliberately asked the people below in front of Xu You if they could arrange the people accompanying Xu You properly, and after receiving a reply and satisfying Xu You, he took Xu You all the way to the left camp. Xu You was also well-behaved all the way, and he didn't act as a ghost, but just kept his eyes open and looked at the people who came to the tent, sometimes nodding, sometimes blowing his beard. After walking for a while, he turned around to talk to Chen Nuo, but his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the people accompanying Chen Nuo. With just one glance, Xu You smiled and said to Chen Nuo: "This is also the person under the general's account?" ”
When Chen Nuo saw that what he was referring to was Zhao Xue, his heart sank, and he replied: "Her name is Zhao Xue, and she is the lieutenant general of our army." As he spoke, he scolded Zhao Xue and let Zhao Xue come forward to see him. Zhao Xue was very reluctant to meet Xu You, but Xu You glanced at Zhao Xue with his eyes, and saw that she was short and had a startled sound, and suddenly saw a dark face on her right, and a star of white skin actually stood out at the earlobe, so it was not amazing, and she couldn't help but look at it again with suspicion.
Zhao Xue didn't want to see Xu You, but at this time, she was stared at by Xu You, and her heart was furious, so she didn't get angry. Chen Nuo was beside him, and he had already seen Zhao Xue's expression, so he quickly quietly pulled the corner of Zhao Xue's clothes and lost a look at her, so that Zhao Xue, who was about to become angry, was stopped in time. On the contrary, after Xu You saw it clearly, he exclaimed to Chen Nuo: "This son has such a white neck and such a short stature, but he looks like a woman." General Chen, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to keep women in the army, right? ”
Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Xu You's eyes to be so old and spicy, and he could see Zhao Xue's daughter at a glance, and he was shocked. It was Zhao Xue, hearing Xu Yu say this, her heart was furious, and she suddenly raised her head, and she was about to say that she was not a woman. Just when everyone was embarrassed and frightened, a horse in front of him suddenly turned out of the corner, because when he suddenly encountered these people, the horse was frightened, and he was uncontrollably about to look at Xu Yu rushing towards him. Xu Yu is ears are sensitive and his eyes are sharp, and he exclaimed in surprise before he ran closer, and he was instinctively frightened. In a blink of an eye, the horse was about to rush, and the soldiers couldn't control it immediately, so they were about to overturn Xu Yu to the ground. It was also Zhao Xue's quick eyes, and before he had time to roar at Xu You, he had already scolded, rushed forward towards the crazy horse, and suddenly raised his hand and slashed at the horse's leg with one palm. The horse's leg was hit, and it hurt a little, and I couldn't help but suffocate. At this moment, Zhao Xue had already pulled the reins of the horse with one hand, held the reins in his hand, and suddenly started to push and grind with the other hand, pushing down the horse's neck and pushing the horse to the side. Immediately, the soldier's body was unbalanced in this turn and immediately fell, but the horse had been pushed to the side by Zhao Xue and fell crookedly, which allowed Xu Yu to narrowly avoid this head-on impact.
The incident just now was in a hurry, and everyone behind Chen Nuo was in shock, and before they could stop it, it was Zhao Xue who made the first move. It was also Zhao Xue's move that made Xu You avoid a difficulty. Seeing that the horse was dragged away and the soldier landed, Xu You is eyes blinked, his tongue widened, and he threw his hand towards Chen Nuo again and again: "You are here to retract the sentence just now to the general, because you have lost your eyes and lost your words." Thinking that this son is so powerful, how can he be compared to a woman, I hope the general will not take it to heart. ”
Chen Nuo glanced at Zhao Xue, only to see Zhao Xue looking back at him, those eyes were really cute. After listening to Xu You's words, I didn't feel funny in my heart, this Xu You is really not a thing, I think that if he said that Zhao Xue is a woman, Zhao Xue might be better, but she actually means that she is not a woman, no wonder Zhao Xue will widen her eyes. In order to prevent Zhao Xue from thinking about it and hurting people, Chen Nuo hurriedly led Xu You forward, but even the soldier who rode the horse just now didn't have time to speak and deal with it.
After Chen Nuo took Xu Yu and waited into the big tent of Zuoying, he didn't sit for a while, but the wine and food were put on the table one after another. Chen Nuo invited Xu You to sit in the chief, but Xu You was not polite, that is, when the wine and food arrived, he filled his stomach first, and ate and drank all the nonsense, but he also knew that he would not treat himself badly. When half of the wine was drunk and the food was half warm, Xu You couldn't control his mouth anymore, and complained to Chen Nuo again, saying that this road was not easy to walk, and it was really not easy to come over, and Chen Nuo could only follow and compensate, as if he was forced to come.
After a wine hiccup, Xu You suddenly pulled up his sleeves, looked at Chen Nuo dizzily, and shouted: "How do I seem to remember that the general was ordered to guard Wanluo, but how the general came here at this time...... Here, uh, how did you get to Shaanxi County? ”
When Chen Nuo heard it, he was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, so he could only tell the truth at this time, and said to him: "My lord doesn't know, but I came to Shaanxi County because of my father and mother's ......" Chen Nuo said that his 'parents' were arrested by Dong Zhuo and taken to Chang'an. When Xu You heard this, he shook his head and said, "Oh, so that's the case, so general, are you going to go to Chang'an?" Chen Nuo said: "Chang'an can't go." Xu You was slightly stunned: "Why is this?" Chen Nuo sighed and said, "Now that the body of my father and mother is under the tent, what are you doing in Chang'an?" ”
"Hmm!"
Xu You's eyes rolled: "So that's the case!" Suddenly, his face changed, and he shouted, "Good Chen Nuo, General Yuan asked you to guard Wanluo, but you went to Chang'an without saying a word, isn't this a violation of yang and yin?" That's it, you are gone, so you have run so many wrongful roads in vain, but you are not wronged? I think that in order to convey General Yuan's order, I came all the way, I don't know how much suffering I suffered, and I was almost kidnapped by thieves halfway, you said you, if it wasn't because of the 'parents' who were sent back in time, would you be ready to go all the way to Chang'an? General Yuan asked you to guard Wanluo, but you guarded it like this? What a Chen Nuo, you are guilty! ”
As soon as Xu You's words came out, everyone was stunned, this kid dared to drink too much and talk nonsense, right?
