Pingyin County is located in the lower reaches of the river, not far from Jindu, facing Heyang.

Chen Nuo led his men and horses from Jindu to the county seat, but they arrived in half a day. Just like the news brought back by Tanma before, the county magistrate here was already frightened when he suddenly heard that Chen Nuo's men and horses had descended from the sky, and quickly rolled up the covers, took his family and gold and silver, and withdrew from the county seat in the middle of the night.

To put it mildly, Chen Nuozhi's entry into Pingyin is similar to his entry into Xiuxian County. It's just that he entered Xiuxian County, but he was forced by the situation and had to do it, and this time he was in Pingyin, which was an unexpected gain. With Chen Nuo's original plan, crossing the river halfway was precisely to cover people's eyes and ears to avoid unnecessary trouble. He crossed the river to prepare for an attack on Binh Yin in the middle of the night, where the troops were slightly resupplied and then withdrawn after dawn. It's just that now it seems that because of a sudden encounter, things seem to have suddenly become much smoother.

When Chen Nuo arrived at the city of Pingyin with his subordinates, the three elders in the city, such as Xiu County, faced with the arrival of Chen Nuo's army, had to open the city gate to welcome Chen Nuo and others into the city.

After a bloody battle last night, Chen Nuo's subordinates lost 300 subordinates, not to mention, and everyone was already in a state of physical overdraft, and they didn't get a good night's sleep, and they really needed a rest.

Although, before this, Chen Nuo's department had also received some compensation from Heyang County Ling Duan Xuan, but after all, it was only material, and now spiritual recuperation is more important.

When Duan Xuan decided to reveal his thoughts to Chen Nuo and let Chen Nuo make up his mind for him, he had to explain the whole matter to Chen Nuo.

It turned out that before Duan Xuan came to Heyang, he was one of the generals of Xiliang like Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, and he had followed Dong Zhuo into Beijing. It's just that because of his humble position, he hasn't been reused by Dong Zhuo, unlike Li Dao, who has been named a captain or something. And he, as the governor of the department, is subordinate to the ministry of Yang Ding. And what about this Yang Ding, before this, he was even lower than his position, but at this time, he suddenly overrode him, where could Duan Xuan stand it? Therefore, regardless of asking, it can be seen that his relationship with Yang Ding is not much better.

Later, Zhang Yang was appointed as the Taishou of Hanoi, and under the instruction of Yuan Shao, he asked him to take the opportunity to divide the Xiliang Division. Zhang Yangnai deliberately secretly communicated with Duan Xuan, and persuaded him to betray Dong Zhuo's camp several times with high-ranking officials Houlu. Duan Xuan had previously cared about the fact that he and Dong Zhuo belonged to the same Xiliang, and he couldn't bear to have this heart, so he didn't reply. But as his opinion of Yang Ding became more and more biased, and Zhang Yang said that he didn't take Yang Ding seriously. Once, maybe he said too much, and Yang Ding pulled out a knife to threaten him. Duan Xuan's face turned pale with fright at that time, and he didn't dare to make a sound. After this, he thought left and right, and when he fucked it, he immediately took his subordinates to quietly steal out of the camp overnight, and went all the way to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yangqi was very upset for Duan Xuan in the face of his 'crying' when he first came, so he intended to fulfill his original promise. It's just that Zhang Yang has passed this pass, but Yuan Shao is not easy to say. Since Duan Xuan has been tricked, it is not bad that Yuan Shao did not instruct him to kill him, when did he think about using him? Yuan Shao didn't speak, Zhang Yang also regarded Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance at that time, and all places in Hanoi were controlled by the alliance leader, let alone offend Yuan Shao for the sake of Duan Xuan.

But with the collapse of the Guanqi army and Yuan Shao's eastward departure, Zhang Yang has the right of autonomy, so he doesn't have to worry too much about Yuan Shao's feelings. What's more, when Yuan Shao controlled all walks of life to be stationed in Hanoi as the leader of the alliance, he Hanoi was the place where he contributed the most money and efforts, and Hanoi lost a lot if he didn't win the battle. Yuan Shao patted his ass and left, he has people to support. And with the collapse of the Guanqi Army, thieves rose everywhere, not to mention the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Jizhou Black Mountain, and two bandits suddenly appeared under his nose. A gang of Montenegro, a gang of white waves. These two groups of thieves, Montenegro is good to say, because their main force is not here, so the pressure is relatively low, but they fight the autumn wind from time to time. And Bai Bo is different. This group of white wave thieves likes to be active in this area because of the hills to the north, which is conducive to concealment.

In Zhang Yangzhi's Hanoi, the situation was not very good, and when Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance, he blindly collected excessively and had limited financial resources, so the people were in an uproar. After Yuan Shao left, the difficulties that Zhang Yang would face can be imagined. In this case, if he wants to gain a foothold in Hanoi, he must also start to govern Hanoi immediately. Originally, the number of people available to him was very limited, but now he wants to govern the people on the one hand, and suppress the violence on the other, and the talent is immediately overstretched.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yang had no choice but to secretly invite Duan Xuan out, conceal Yuan Shao, and arbitrarily entrust him to a position. Later, Yuan Shaozhi went to the east to fight for Jizhou, although he also heard about Zhang Yang's move at this time, but he was helpless. And at this time, Yuan Shao intended to consolidate the relationship with Zhang Yang, so he only adopted a tacit attitude towards this matter.

In this way, Zhang Yang is also relieved to appoint Duan Xuan. Duan Xuan was grateful for Zhang Yang's love, and he was willing to work hard for Zhang Yang, and Duan Xuan did have the ability to govern the people, so he slowly gained Zhang Yang's trust. After that, Zhao Fuzhi abandoned Heyang, for Zhang Yang's subordinates, it can be said that the opportunity came, and everyone was gearing up to get this position. Of course, everyone understands the importance of Heyang, and Zhang Yang will not be unclear. But contrary to everyone's expectations, Zhang Yang left this position to the rebel general Duan Xuan. At the beginning, many people did not understand, so they repeatedly admonished Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang overrode public opinion and finally decided to take Duan Xuan as the order of Heyang County. Therefore, there is a saying that Zhang Yang regards Duan Xuan as a confidant.

Of course, Duan Xuan's defense of Heyang is the right of the people, but there is no actual command of the army. For this, Duan Xuan is actually very clear. Although the geographical location of this Heyang is important, in this troubled era, it stands to reason that the county order here should have the right to govern both the army and the people. It's just that he also knows that he was a rebel general after all, and although Zhang Yang trusts him on the surface, he may not be able to use military power. Speaking of which, Zhang Yang was finally able to override the public opinion and use the county order to make the committee, Duan Xuan was already very grateful.

Chen Nuo listened to Duan Xuan's words before and after, and he was suddenly relieved about the places where he still had doubts before, and suddenly understood the reason why he was here. It's just that he said that there was rebellion between him and Yang Ding because of dislike, thinking that Yang Ding had died at his hands a few months ago, he must have heard of it, and he didn't have so much hatred when he heard his tone at this time.

As soon as the simmering general finished speaking, he pointed to the edict on the case next to him, and said to Chen Nuo: "The general wants the lower official to say it, and the lower official has already told the truth, can the general get an idea for the lower official now?" ”

Chen Nuo has also read the content of the edict, which is nothing more than Dong Zhuo sent it in the name of Emperor Xian, intending to promote Duan Xuan to be the captain and let him go to Shaanxi County to take office.

Without asking, it is not difficult for Chen Nuo to understand that Dong Zhuo suddenly came to such a will at this time, and it would never be that Dong Zhuo suddenly remembered that he still had such a fellow countryman one day and wanted to take care of him. What he did was nothing but for the sake of profit. Duan Xuan may not have been of great use to Dong Zhuo before this, but at this time, Duan Xuan is now serving as the commander of Heyang County, and he is already Zhang Yang's right-hand man. Since Duan Xuan turned out to be Xiliang's person, and he also got the reason why he ran away in the first place, Yang Ding was dead at this time, so he could use this reason to recruit Duan Xuan again. And as long as he goes to Duan Xuan, then Zhang Yang will lose Duan Xuan's help, and it will naturally be easy to deal with. Of course, Dong Zhuo's ultimate goal is not to deal with Zhang Yang, but to deal with Zhang Yang, but to disturb Hanoi, and as long as Hanoi is in chaos, Yuan Shao's interests will be involved, so Dong Zhuo's ultimate goal is Yuan Shao.

After sorting out this, Chen Nuo just smiled lightly. Not to mention that his interests with Yuan Shao at this time are a community, and they are both prosperous, and in his planning, Hanoi is a pivotal chess piece, and this flag is the most critical in Heyang, so it must not be lost. Fortunately, with Bai Bojun's killing again, Duan Xuan finally decided to tell him about it. If it weren't for that, thinking of the situation last night, I was afraid that he had just left Heyang with his front foot, and he would have to go to Shaanxi County with his back foot.

Of course, between going and staying, although Chen Nuo didn't understand what he really thought in his heart, it was not difficult to guess that if Duan Xuan could go to Shaanxi County to take up his post, he would have mastered military power from now on, and it might be much more practical for him than being a county commander. But perhaps because of this, he was also ashamed of Zhang Yang's trust in him, so he didn't dare to conclude that it was difficult for him to stay.

In fact, it is precisely these that Duan Xuan can consider. He had a good impression of him because he heard that Yang Ding had died at his hands, and Chen Nuo's performance at the head of Heyang City made his heart throb, so he intended to consult him. It's just that later, because Chen Nuo said that he was his fellow countryman and connected with his own embarrassing situation, he was prejudiced against Chen Nuo. Thinking about the fellow may not see the good of the fellow, he will definitely not consider the good side for him, so he dispelled this idea. Only when I entered the city and saw the eyes of the people facing me, I felt that being a county commander may not be worse than the general who led the troops, and I was shaken all of a sudden. In addition, Chen Nuo worked hard to recover Heyang City for him, and his heart was moved, and his prejudice against Chen Nuo was also gone, so he consulted Chen Nuo again on this issue, and knew that Chen Nuo would be fair.

Chen Nuo can give him advice, of course, he will not escape and let him stay in Heyang. It's just that this can't be said explicitly, but with Dong Zhuo's repeated violence, can he really be with him for a long time? After listening to Chen Nuo's words, Duan Xuan also understood at once. Yes, if you go to Heyang, it is a betrayal, and if you follow Dong Zhuo, it may not last long. Duan Xuan immediately gave up his hand and thanked Chen Nuo, saying that he had made a decision in his heart, so that Chen Nuo could rest assured.

Before leaving, in order to make up for Chen Nuo's losses in this battle, Duan Xuan also deliberately learned the story of the wild king, gave Chen Nuo 3,000 men and horses the food needed for one month, and personally sent Chen Nuo out of the city for ten miles. Of course, for the recovery of Heyang, the people in the city are even more grateful to Chen Nuo, and they also send them one after another, but they want to send things as a show, but Chen Nuo refuses.

Of course, the matter of Heyang City has been temporarily settled, and now, Chen Nuo has taken his troops to Pingyin City. What he was facing was the story of Ruxiu County, where the people went out of the city to greet them with the three elders as representatives, and invited Chen Nuo and others to enter the city to take over the defense of the city.
