After the first battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan went north to the Bohai Sea, Yuan Shao was strong in Guangzong, ready to send troops again, Chen Nuo invited himself out of the town of Wanluo, and Yuan Shao allowed it.

Of course, many people do not understand Chen Nuo's decision. I think that in this case, if Chen Nuo goes out with the army, he will also establish meritorious service, but Chen Nuo abandons this and cares about him, but he wants to lead the troops out of the town of Wanluo, which is really incomprehensible.

What is Wanluo? The princes of the eighteen towns can't take advantage of Dong, but he Chen Nuo wants to fight against him with three thousand, isn't it a bit self-conscious. Although Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an after the Battle of Tiger Prison, it was clear that Dong Zhuo gave up Wanluo, but in fact it was not. Dong Zhuozhi left, and asked his son-in-law Zhonglang to run Niu Fu in Shaanxi County, and Niu Fu used the lieutenants Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and other troops to plunder Chenliu and Yingchuan counties, and the power was still not to be underestimated. And these generals are all Xiliang soldiers who followed Dong Zhuo into Beijing at the beginning, and they are all brave and good at fighting.

Even after hearing the news, even Lu Yi, Zhang He, and others, who were close to him, privately persuaded Chen Nuo to think about it carefully. After all, if Chen Nuo wants to gain a foothold in Wanluo, he must fight against the Xiliang generals in Niu Fu's hands with celibacy, even if Chen Nuo reluctantly defeats them, I am afraid it will not last long. With Yuan Shao's character, before Gongsun Chan was destroyed and the four states of Hebei were not in hand, he Yuan Shao was sure to be unwilling to manage Wanluo easily with 'the whip is beyond reach', which is difficult to achieve. And if Chen Nuo accidentally loses in Wanluo, he will definitely go down for Yuan Shao, and he will never send troops to save him, it is Chen Nuo who takes his own risk.

Based on the above analysis, no matter what, whether Chen Nuo goes to Wanluocheng or loses, it is a matter of displeasure at both ends, so Lu Yi and Zhang He both wiped a handful of sweat for Chen Nuo and persuaded Chen Nuo one after another. Zhang He is okay, his words can still be grasped, while Koji Yi is generous, it seems that Chen Nuo is going to kidnap him if he doesn't listen.

Zhang He is a smart person, if he can persuade, he will persuade, and if he can't, for him, since the words have come out, it is his business whether Chen Nuo listens or not, and his attitude has already shown that it is there. Of course, from the exchanges in these days, Zhang He also knows that Chen Nuo and his people, whether they are using soldiers or acting like to 'take risks', so although he does not understand the matter of him inviting himself out of Zhenwanluo, since he has found out Chen Nuo's attitude, he is determined to do this, and he also knows that he has his own plans in his heart, but he is not pessimistic about this trip, and he also believes that Chen Nuo can handle it well.

And Koji Yi is different, they are righteous brothers, and no matter what their previous friendship was, just the help that Chen Nuo helped before and after the Battle of Jieqiao, so that he was able to break away from Wen Chou and restore the establishment again, and the admiration for Chen Nuo in his heart is incomprehensible. However, when he heard that Chen Nuo was determined to leave the town of Wanluo, he analyzed before and after, no matter what, Chen Nuo was asking for hardship, how could he, as a younger brother, be willing to watch Chen Nuo act so rashly? Therefore, it is inevitable that the words will be added and the arguments will be fierce.

After having been friends with Ko Yi for so long, it was the first time that Ko Yi had blushed when he talked to him, Chen Nuo saw it in his eyes and was quite moved in his heart. Whether it is Liyi or Zhang He, Chen Nuo can also see that they are all for their own good.

Regarding the self-invitation to send troops out of the town of Wanluo this time, Chen Nuo of course also considered it. Zhao Xuezhi left, the 'parents' were in the hands of Dong Zhuo, he had to take on this responsibility, and sooner or later he would have to go west and meet Dong Zhuo's soldiers. And the most important point is that he made the first contribution to the battle of Chen Nuojie Bridge, and he was awarded the title of Zhonglang General as a latecomer, and suddenly he was on the same level as Yuan Shao's group of veterans, and even surpassed Wen Chou and Gao Ran generals, not to mention the feelings of those veterans, just Yuan Shao, I am afraid that he is also quite contradictory.

Yuan Shao has always been jealous of Chen Nuo, and he has also obeyed Fengji several times and suppressed Chen Nuo, and then it seems that everything has 'backfired' with Yuan Shao, and several times of suppression have been conducive to Chen Nuo's growth against the trend, thus achieving today's Chen Nuo.

And Yuan Shao, since he is sure that Chen Nuo is a hidden danger, then he should act cleanly and thoroughly, and be ruthless. It can be seen that his attitude towards Chen Nuo is quite contradictory.

This contradiction is reflected in his appointments. If Yuan Shao really wanted to completely abandon Chen Nuo, then the Battle of the Boundary Bridge should not leave Chen Nuo a place to play, let alone give him the Bohai Seal Ribbon easily. But if Yuan Shao can trust Chen Nuo, then at this critical moment, Chen Nuo should not be let out of the town of Wanluo, he will not fail to understand that Chen Nuo is more than lucky, and it is clear that he has done something but not successfully.

The contradiction of Yuan Shao's attitude before and after, of course, is more due to his lack of characterization of Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo had the experience of rescuing him in Yanjin before, and later had the kindness of going to Montenegro alone to save his son, Yuan Shao was jealous of Chen Nuo, but at the same time he was grateful. And of course, this kind of gratitude can't influence his judgment of Chen Nuo, so it causes him to be both jealous and grateful. And Gongsun Zan came to the south, the counties rebelled, and Chen Nuo was the only one who stuck to the isolated city of Guangchuan and did not surrender, which was even more contradictory for Yuan Shao, and he didn't know whether to reuse or suppress.

To talk about suppression, Chen Nuo has done an excellent job of completing his mission, and. But if you reuse it, you don't see Chen Nuo repelling tens of thousands of yellow turbans with Xiu County, and you don't see Chen Nuo breaking Gongsun Zhan's elite white horse with thousands of people? And Chen Nuo, in this series of battles, not only failed to be beaten down by the thieves, but with Chen Nuo's victory in one battle after another, his reputation followed Rilong. And Yuan Shao, although he liked Chen Nuo for him to temporarily block Gongsun Zhan's troops, but if Chen Nuo's reputation increased because of this battle, so that the praise in the shogunate was not noticed, it was something he did not want to see.

Therefore, with a very conflicted heart, after Chen Nuo returned, he was promoted to the rank of captain, which was a reward for his loyalty, and for transferring him to the rear to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, it was a dissatisfaction with his growing prestige. On the eve of the Battle of Jieqiao, Yuan Shao also knew that Gongsun Chan was not easy to deal with after several rounds of skirmishes with Gongsun Zhan, so he intended to reappoint Chen Nuo.

It's just that he is still a little uneasy, so he wasted a lot of brainpower in arranging Chen Nuo. After thinking about it, Yuan Shao decided to keep Chen Nuo's men and horses away from the main battlefield, and only let him be on the periphery, called the Supervisory Array, to prevent Gongsun Zhan's other rangers from attacking and disturbing Guangzong, which is really a second hand of chess, if the main battlefield he led wins, then Chen Nuo is not required to fight, then Chen Nuo will not be able to make meritorious contributions, and if the main battlefield is unfavorable, Chen Nuo can lead his troops to fight at any time, which is the best of both worlds.

Yuan Shao's calculation was not bad, but he would not have thought that the battle of the boundary bridge would not be something he could easily control in the end. I think that if Chen Nuo hadn't assigned those 2,000 men and horses to help him in time and turned the tide of the battle in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. It is precisely because of Chen Nuo's outstanding performance in this battle that Yuan Shao's trust in Chen Nuo has surged, however, people have private faces, although Chen Nuo is loyal, but Yuan Shao still can't fully trust him. After all, Chen Nuo is not his confidant like Wen Chou and others, and he can't completely convince him. And Chen Nuo has outstanding points in both literary talent and martial arts, and he can make so many meritorious contributions in just a few months, overshadowing everyone, Chen Nuo is too bright, which Yuan Shao does not want to see.

Because of this kind of relationship, Yuan Shao inevitably behaved as in the past when dealing with Chen Nuo, which became more contradictory.

On the one hand, he handed over Bohai to Chen Nuo, and promoted Chen Nuo to be a martial arts general, and his status surpassed that of other generals, which was his generosity, which clearly meant that Chen Nuo was reused, and it was a manifestation of trust. However, on Chen Nuo's invitation to leave the town of Wanluo, Yuan Shao behaved very enthusiastically, which seemed a little incomprehensible.

In fact, it is not difficult to think that in Yuan Shao's contradictory psychology, the fear of Chen Nuo is far stronger than that of credit Chen Nuo. Chen Nuo's profit in the battle of the boundary bridge made Yuan Shao happy and worried both Yuan Shao and worried, since ancient times, the most taboo person is the high merit and the master, if Chen Nuo makes great contributions with the army, Chen Nuo's prestige rises, and the threat to him will become more and more serious. This is exactly what Yuan Shao is worried about. And in order to keep the position of his Yuan family, Yuan Shao can't help but suppress these hidden dangers. And once the fear is greater than the trust, no matter how much Chen Nuo reassures him, he can't let it go.

It was also when Yuan Shao was worried that Chen Nuo suddenly proposed to lead troops out of the town of Wanluo, how could he not let Yuan Shao's heart be relieved? As long as Chen Nuo does not go to Gongsun Chan with the army, then it will be difficult to establish meritorious deeds, and the threat to him will naturally decrease. Of course, he understood what kind of place Wanluo was, that kind of place was mixed, and there was a nuisance from Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Cavalry, so let him go firstly to reduce the pressure on the rear of Yecheng after his northern expedition to the Bohai Sea, and secondly, to eliminate the opportunity for Chen Nuo to make great contributions again, how could Yuan Shao not agree?

Therefore, Chen Nuo invited himself out of Zhenwanluo, in addition to Zhao Xue and Dong Zhuo's external forces, it was naturally Chen Nuo who wanted to use this to eliminate Yuan Shao's jealousy of him, which could be regarded as a kind of self-preservation. And if Chen Nuo 'doesn't know what to do', and continues to go out with the army with the power of the boundary bridge, even if he takes Bohai by then, he has the Bohai seal on his body, but I'm afraid that Yuan Shao may not be able to let him take office as he wishes. And if Chen Nuo is in Wanluo, leading the Bohai Sea too much, the military and the government are separated, and he can't actually govern, then the threat to Yuan Shao will naturally decrease, which is exactly what he Yuan Shao is willing to see.

Of course, Chen Nuo understands these things deeply, but he can't do anything about the incomprehension of others, so he has to let others guess. General Zhang He didn't understand, Chen Nuo didn't need to explain, Zhang He was a smart person, presumably he could understand his hardships. Although Zhang He was personally persuaded by him to surrender to Yuan Shao, and he has always maintained a good relationship with him, this person is clever and very urban, and before he can completely control Zhang He, he Chen Nuo still has to have reservations in front of him.

For Koji Yi, he didn't need to be like this.

He didn't say anything about Zhao Xue and Dong Zhuo, but just analyzed his own situation and told him that this move was really a last resort, but it was just for self-protection. Koji Yi also quickly understood, and in connection with the things that happened to him, it was not difficult to understand the distress of his eldest brother Chen Nuo, so he didn't say anything anymore.

After staying in Guangzong for two days, Chen Nuo had everything in order, and after bidding farewell to Yuan Shao and others, he immediately set up troops and went to Wanluo. Of course, before that, he had to go back to Yecheng, and he still had to explain to Guo Jia in person about this trip, of course, he also understood that even if he didn't explain, Guo Jia would understand.
