The hall that was still very lively just now, only Han Fu was left alone at this moment, and it seemed that those officials in Jizhou had already retired. At this moment, Han Fu frowned and looked restless.

When Chen Nuo saw Han Fu's expression, he was a little puzzled.

He asked cautiously, "I don't know what Lord Envoy suddenly called me?" ”

Seeing that Chen Nuo was coming, Han Fu immediately put down the wine cup and said with a smile: "You came just in time!" Lone Zheng has something to discuss with you. ”

Chen Nuo took two steps forward and arched his hand: "I don't know what the envoy sends?" ”

"That's ......"

Han Fu paused, straightened out his thoughts, and said, "Didn't you tell Gu that Montenegro had gathered 200,000 troops and was waiting for Gu's order?" What Lone is worried about is that these people have always been unruly, if they don't wait for the order for a long time, if they deal with it themselves, they will suddenly kill Gongsun Zhan, I am afraid that they will miss a big thing. For this reason, Lone came to you to discuss this matter, hoping that you would come over as soon as possible to convey Lone's order, so that they could be disbanded as soon as possible, so that Lone's heart could be at peace. ”

That's what happened......

Chen Nuo was a little strange, didn't he already promise to settle the matter of Montenegro and promise to solve it himself, but how could Han Fu suddenly urge again?

But looking at Han Fu's expression, he was a little uncomfortable, how could he sound like someone else had taught him.

Who would teach him such a deplorable word? Does anyone know that he lied and that he didn't contact Montenegro at all?

He originally thought that since the matter of Montenegro was nothing, his lie that made Montenegro withdraw naturally did not need to be ignored, and he only had to say a perfunctory sentence to Han Fu at that time, and the matter passed like this.

Since Han Fu proposed it again, Chen Nuo couldn't agree to it, and said stubbornly: "It turns out that the envoy and I want to go together!" Even if you don't mention it, I have to go over it sooner, after all, this matter can't be delayed for a moment. It just so happens that since the envoy has brought it up, I will go down and prepare to prepare for Montenegro at any time. ”

Han Fu laughed: "Okay, I'll let General Zhang He and Zhang personally escort you when you go over this time." ”

As soon as Chen Nuo moved, he immediately asked, "Isn't General Zhang's residence in Wucheng?" It's not close to here, and if you wait for him to come, won't you have to wait for a few days? ”

Han Fu shook his head and said, "You don't know, General Zhang happened to come to Jizhou to do business, and at this moment he is resting in the county mansion and is on standby at any time." ”

Chen Nuo didn't understand: "What about the defense of Wucheng? ”

Han Fu smiled: "Naturally, there is a deputy general in charge, you don't have to worry about this." ”

Chen Nuo came out of Han Fu and came to the county mansion where Zhang He was located with the question mark of the boss.

Zhang He seemed to know that Chen Nuo was coming, so he instructed the doorman to bring him directly without informing.

Zhang He still saw each other in Confucian clothes, and when he saw Chen Nuo, he teased: "I didn't expect that I hadn't seen you for a few days, but Brother Ran, you have made such a contribution all of a sudden, and you actually let Han Envoy Jun value you so much, it's really amazing!" ”

Chen Nuo said with a smile: "General Zhang, don't be joking, I'm tormenting my little brother." ”

The two exchanged a few polite words, Zhang He invited Chen Nuo to sit down, and let people put wine and food on the table and have a drink.

Zhang He said: "Brother Ran came to me, presumably the envoy has already told you about the envoy to Montenegro, you came here this time, but what do you want to ask me?" ”

Chen Nuo smiled: "General Zhang is really refreshing, then I'll say it." ”

Put down the wine cup, paused, and said, "At first, I always thought that General Zhang was stationed in Wucheng and could not leave the garrison easily, so I had to summon a lowly post envoy as a general. But today it seems that this may not be the case, it turns out that the main general is not in the station, and the deputy general can also be temporarily replaced. ”

Zhang He nodded: "You can say that, but this can't be a routine, unless there is a special need reason." ”

"Let me guess."

Chen Nuo held the lamp in his hand, playfully, and said with a smile: "I thought about it, maybe so." General Zhang may have come here because he had not heard the news of General Zhao's dispatch of troops, and the general was afraid that I would forget to tell General Zhao about this matter, so he had to come over in person. And the general came here just to make a personal suggestion to the envoy, one to persuade him not to give up Jizhou easily, and the other to persuade him to order General Zhao to send troops to the east. ”

Zhang He smiled: "You think too highly of me, if I could persuade the envoy, I would have done it a long time ago." It is precisely because I have self-knowledge that I want to borrow the mouth of Ran's brother to persuade General Zhao Fu to send troops.

To tell you the truth, I came because Brother Ran had not replied for a long time. I was afraid that things would change, so I left Wucheng military affairs to the deputy general, and hurried over, hoping to turn the tide by myself.

It's just that I didn't expect that Jizhou would change so much after Brother Ran arrived. Since Gongsun Chan has agreed to withdraw from the army, I still think that it is the best time to persuade the envoy to let General Zhao send troops at this time, but I didn't think that Brother Ran, you have already done it, but I can only run for nothing......"

Chen Nuo didn't finish listening to him, so he was not in a hurry to talk.

Sure enough, after Zhang He paused slightly, his tone changed and he said, "But after I heard about the incident in Montenegro, I was restless. Brother Ran, you also know that these Black Mountain bandits have always confronted the government, and even if they are used by the government for a while, they will not last long.

Seeing that hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered in one place, and they can't use it for their own purposes, they are afraid that as time goes by, they will breed trouble. If it is not handled well, I am afraid that the tiger will be driven away in the front, and the wolf will come in the back, which will be very unfavorable to my Jizhou.

This matter cannot be delayed, so I have asked the envoy to deal with it immediately, and I have no choice but to go to the hard brother and persuade them to disband the people. Of course, for the sake of all things, I also ask the envoy to let me personally escort you to Montenegro, Brother Ran. ”

Chen Nuo first said that someone was harming him, and when he heard Zhang He say this, he was relieved: "Then there is General Lao Zhang!" ”

Coming out of Zhang He, Chen Nuo wiped a handful of sweat.

The illusory Black Mountain Army seems to be unable to hide from Han Fu.

He returned to the mansion where he had stayed, and his heart became uneasy. Now that things are getting bigger, if he really goes to Montenegro with Zhang He, once the two sides confront each other, Zhang He finds that there is no such thing as hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin troops gathered, so do you want to have this head?

Thinking of this, Chen Nuo's whole body was cold.

He paced back and forth indoors, and now it seemed that he could only slip away.

But before he could put his actions into action, he found that this idea was very unrealistic.

In order to get him on the road as soon as possible, Han Fu had already sent soldiers to help him take care of his bags and protect his safety by the way. Of course, in Chen Nuo's opinion, they are all here to spy on themselves.

When it was dark the next day, Chen Nuo had to follow Zhang He's team and set off.

Zhang He, as a Sima of other departments, has more than 1,000 people according to the normal establishment, and can lead troops alone. Because his deployment has the task of garrisoning Wucheng, it is inconvenient to bring it out this time, and only dozens of people followed. And in order to strengthen the prestige of Jizhou, Han Fu happily allocated 500 people from the side army and let him lead.

The road traveled for more than one day, and the group of people and horses followed the Black Mountain to the north, all of them chose a relatively flat road to move forward, and did not dare to stay in the mountainous area.

It's just that when you pass through Zanxian County, you have to pass through the mountains in order to enter Changshan County.

Seeing that he was approaching the Black Mountain Army day by day, although Chen Nuo still maintained his calmness on the outside, the turmoil in his heart was something that no one could understand.

The so-called hundred secrets and one omission, he made a thousand calculations, although he managed to save Sun Qing and make up for the obvious loopholes, but where did he think that he would kill Zhang He halfway. If Zhang He hadn't reminded Han Fu, could Han Fuyan be in such a hurry to urge him on the road?

Now it's okay, once you confront Zhang Niujiao, all the horse's feet will be exposed.

He was tempted to find a way to postpone the time, but he knew that the more he did that, the easier it would be for the problem to come to light.

Zhang He is so smart and known for his ingenuity, how can he hide from him?

When dealing with smart people, it is best to be smarter, Chen Nuo's only choice can only be to brake quietly and wait for the opportunity.

waited for the opportunity all the way, and this opportunity finally made Chen Nuo wait.

Chen Nuo stepped forward and reminded Zhang He: "The front is all mountain roads, and the mountain road march is the most likely to be ambushed by the enemy, not to mention that this place is the stronghold of the Montenegrin army, so we must not enter rashly." ”

Zhang He looked at the dense forest in front of him, nodded and smiled: "Brother Ran's words are reasonable, the art of war is reasonable, there are dangers next to the army, Jiang Huang, Jingsheng Jia Wei, mountains and forests, and those who are in the middle of the river, will be cautious to ask for it, and the hiding place of this ambush is also." ”

Chen Nuo smiled and arched his hand: "General Zhang is so familiar with the art of war, I admire it!" ”

After a pause, he said, "That's right, please ask the general and others to rest in place for the time being, I am willing to bring a dozen horsemen to check." ”

Zhang He shook his head and said: "Brother Ran is a special envoy sent by the envoy, and he is burdened with a heavy responsibility, how dare I use Brother Ran as a scout?" ”

Saying that he was going to send someone else, Chen Nuo hurriedly smiled and said: "General Zhang, have you forgotten that I am a post envoy, although I am still a little different from the scout, but in the end they are all about the same thing, one is to deliver letters, and the other is to explore the way." Could it be that General Zhang only knows that I can run errands, but he doesn't know that I can also see and listen to all directions? ”

"Hahaha, what a sight and ears!"

Zhang He saw that Chen Nuo insisted on going, so he had no choice but to wave his hand and say, "Okay, since you want to grab this credit, let it be given to you." However, you must be careful, in case of emergency, you will immediately call the gold number, and I will come to answer immediately. ”

Chen Nuo thanked him, took thirteen horsemen and horses and went on the road, and Zhang He asked his subordinates to stop and rest temporarily.

Walked all the way in, the more you go inside, the more difficult it is to walk, the jungle is dense, the mountains and rocks are hooked, if it is not for the big sun at the top, I am afraid to look at the ghosts, it is very terrifying.

Along the way, Chen Nuo didn't have a lot of bad ideas.

There are only thirteen people around, and now they are a little far away from Zhang He, if they find an opportunity to hide in the mountain rocks, and then run up the mountain, those people may not be able to find them. Besides, the jungle on this mountain is so dense that it is not easier to find a person than to find a needle in a haystack.

After a further walk, the road ahead was suddenly rough and narrow, tight enough for a horse to enter and exit. Chen Nuo knew that the opportunity had come, if he led these people in first, and then he himself escaped, then it would not be so easy for them to chase after them.

Chen Nuo deliberately ordered them to go ahead, and he called them back.

These scouts were all ordered by General Zhang, but Chen Nuo's orders were obeyed, and naturally no one objected.

Seeing that he was about to enter a narrow place, Chen Nuo also consciously gradually distanced himself from them, he looked left and right, tightened the reins in his hand, and prepared to turn the horse's head, and then say goodbye to them completely.

However, before they could enter the preset target, the scout in front suddenly noticed something unusual and shouted, "There is an ambush!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly countless black and crushed heads rushed out of the jungle on both sides, either with short knives in their hands, or with spears, or with bows and arrows, and they rushed down from above like a swarm of bees.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, which forced the thieves who were ambushed in the jungle to show up in advance, and of course, this also bought Chen Nuo precious time.

There were enough people in ambush in the jungle to reach thousands, but they were ambushed deeply, so by the time they rushed down, the thirteen horsemen had already retreated unhurriedly to the spacious area under Chen Nuo's command and comfort, and waved away.

At present, the mountains and rocks are vertical and horizontal, which is not conducive to horseback riding, and it is impossible to escape. In that way, not only will it appear cowardly, but it will not help, and it may be shot into a hedgehog by the other party.

Since the thieves did not see their intention of escaping, they became suspicious, but did not dare to rush forward rashly for a while.

In this way, the two sides distanced themselves.

Compared with the danger ahead, the current situation makes Chen Nuo feel more urgent.

If you can't deal with these thieves in front of you, let alone talk about the future.

"Lord Chen, do we take Ming Jin as a letter and let General Zhang lead troops to save us?"

Although Chen Nuo refused to accept the post of post supervisor appointed by Han Fu, and his status was relatively low and embarrassing, he was the envoy of the mission to Montenegro this time, and Han Fu personally sealed it, so these scouts could only be called "adults". Although the gold content of this "adult" is too small, in the end it avoids embarrassment.

Chen Nuo knew very well in his heart that in terms of the number of people on both sides, the thieves had an absolute advantage. If the thieves rushed up together, he and the thirteen horsemen behind him might have been trampled into meatloaf by them.

And the reason why they didn't move was because his side didn't move.

There are only a dozen people on his side, and he still insists on holding on in the face of thousands of people, and this momentum is enough to frighten the thieves for a while.

It's like a psychological war, and if either side shows its timidity first, then he loses.

In other words, if someone on Chen Nuo's side dares to show any fear now, it will be dead.

If Ming Jin shouted for help at this time, it wasn't looking for his own death?

Chen Nuo stretched out his hand, stopped their stupid actions, and took a step forward from the thirteen horsemen, not side by side with the thirteen horsemen. He deliberately wanted the thieves to see clearly that he, Chen Nuo, was the leader of the thirteen horsemen, and they were not a group of wandering soldiers!

"Handsome! Handsome! ”

Although the thieves were messily arranged, they were no better than headless flies, so they confronted each other for a while, and suddenly there was a commotion in the thieves' array, and the front was cracked, and the thieves scattered to both sides. Someone raised a banner and erected it in the center, and a man rode a tall yellow horse and stepped out and stood directly below the big horse.

When the thieves saw him appear, they all cheered.

Chen Nuo tightened the reins, looked up, and saw three words written on the flag:

Da handsome!

Looking at the surnamed Yu again, his face was full of fierce flesh trembling, the facial features on his face seemed to be crowded together, his eyebrows were thick, his nose was like a hanging gall, but his eyes were terrifyingly small, and a fierce light shot out from it, and he was not a good person at first glance.

Look at him again, he is medium-sized, with a big belly, but he is wearing armor, and his belly is bulging like a mound, which makes the armor stand up, making people look very awkward. The other waist hangs a saber, and the boots under his feet are full of majesty.

He was the only one who rode horses and wore armor, and the rest of the people were mostly in tattered clothes, and some were even unclothed, and it would be good to have a pair of shabby straw sandals under their feet, while most of them were barefoot.

Chen Nuo was amused in his heart, it was really shameless for such a humble team to dare to claim to be handsome.

Chen Nuo showed this contemptuous smile, and naturally did not escape the eyes of the surname Yu. The surnamed Yu's eyes suddenly widened, and the fierce light was revealed, glaring at him viciously.

No matter how big you are, it's the size of a pea, and you still want to make a fuss like that?

He let go of the reins, braced himself on him, and gave him a blank look, and the surname Yu was so angry that his eyes were full of stars, and two pitch-black peas were dripping and turning in the whites of his eyes. There were people behind him who were angry, and they were about to make a move, but the one surnamed Yu was thoughtful after all, looked at the suffocating surroundings, and immediately stopped them.

Chen Nuo simply dismounted, took off the saddle, put it on the ground, and then turned his head casually: "What are you thirteen stupid doing?" With such a good sun, why don't you take off the saddle and bask in the sun, do you want the horse to cover its body with a rash? ”

Thirteen Riders, I look at you, you look at me, I really don't understand why Chen Nuo wants them to do this.

But they saw Chen Nuo with his hands on the pillow, and he closed his eyes on the ground and dozed off, and they were all speechless in admiration. Well, since Lord Chen is not afraid of death, are we still afraid of death!

With a brush, the thirteen riders immediately jumped off their horses after Chen Nuo's words fell, and according to Chen Nuo's instructions, they took off the saddle and threw it on the ground, letting the sun shine.

The well-trained movements of the thirteen horsemen made those thieves startled when they saw it, what did they want to do? Suspicious, he couldn't help but take a few steps backwards and wipe his sweat with his sleeve.

The air seemed to freeze all of a sudden, and the battlefield, which was noisy just now, no one spoke at this moment, and even the slightest gasp suddenly became heavy.

The surnamed Yu kept looking at Chen Nuo, and he didn't see a trace of fear from Chen Nuo, but he muttered in his heart, could it be that there is a ghost in this? He turned around and instructed the thief next to him to whisper a few words to him. The man nodded in understanding, and with a wave of his hand, he took a dozen people away. With these people, he was about to bypass Chen Nuo and the other thirteen horsemen.

Although Chen Nuo had been acting very leisurely in front of everyone, he was also nervous when he suddenly saw that someone was going to copy their back road. If they cut off the back road and find that Zhang He and the others are still far away, then there is nothing he can rely on, and then he will only have a dead end.

Although Chen Nuo tried his best to hide the tension in his heart, at this moment, he let the surnamed Yu see a slight change in his face.

The handsome man surnamed Yu was like a hunter, and when he saw Chen Nuo revealing his flaws, he couldn't help but smile.

He landed his hand on the hilt of the knife and slowly pulled it out......
