Last night, a fire burned Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and the others away, which finally relieved Chen Nuo, and his subordinates also got a temporary respite. After a little rest, he persuaded Hu Zhenbu to go out with him and continue to rush to Yangcheng.

It's just that after Cheng Pu and them were defeated, they immediately joined up with Sun Jianbu, so that their forces shrank together, and it was even more difficult to deal with. In addition, they suffered a loss and had a little understanding of Chen Nuo, and as soon as they went back, they immediately persuaded Sun Jian to fight quickly, and could not let Chen Nuo contact Zhou Ang.

After all, Sun Jian is a fierce general, he is not afraid of death in battle, and he has strong soldiers and horses, which is not something that Chen Nuo's hundreds of people can bear.

After a hard battle with Sun Jian, Chen Nuo suffered a big loss, and half of his subordinates died desperately, leaving only five or six hundred people to come back.

Chen Nuo was covered in blood, and as soon as he entered the big tent, he took off the hood on his head and threw it on the ground, and then laughed.

In the battle just now, Chen Nuo was in a predicament, and Han Meng and Zhao Xue fought hard to defeat Han Dang, Huang Gai and other generals, which made him get out of the encirclement, and it was really dangerous. It was precisely because of this battle that Chen Nuo saw the combat power of Han Meng and Zhao Xue clearly. Zhao Xue can fight to the death for him, but Han Meng can't be ambiguous, rushing into the enemy formation, and not taking Han Dang, Huang Gai and other generals in his eyes, although fighting to the death. With the two of them in the army, why can't they unite people's hearts?

Zhao Xue saw Chen Nuo laughing, and thought that Chen Nuo was disheartened by the defeat just now, so she immediately took two steps forward and persuaded Chen Nuo that victory or defeat was a common thing in soldiers, and asked Chen Nuo not to take it to heart.

Han Meng was different, he took two steps forward and asked Chen Nuo: "General, we just lost the battle, why is the general laughing?" ”

Chen Nuo glanced at the two of them, and replied to Zhao Xue first: "What Zhao Xue said is good, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, why should we take it too seriously?" ”

Then, he looked at Han Meng again and said to him, "You asked well!" Although I was defeated, I learned three points. The first point, of course, is the loyalty of the two and the courage not to be afraid of death; The second point is that because of my battle, I know how powerful Sun Jian is, and I will never dare to despise any enemy in the future; This third point......

As you saw just now, we are working hard, and although Hu Zhen promised to help in the battle, he never sent a single soldier from beginning to end, which also made me see clearly the fact that Hu Zhen was unwilling to help sincerely! The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win all battles, I recognize these clearly, are you afraid that you won't be able to defeat Sun Jian and them next? Isn't it worth my joy to have these gains despite a defeat? ”

Han Meng nodded as if he didn't understand.

Zhao Xue frowned and asked, "Then what is the general going to do next?" ”

"What should I do?"

Chen Nuo smiled and tightened his fists: "With this little force outside my city, I can't repel Sun Jian's troops, let alone relieve the siege of Yangcheng." As for General Zhou Angzhou, he has a limited number of men and horses, which is not enough to continue to compete. Since Yangcheng can no longer be saved, it seems that now there is only one way to abandon Yangcheng and leave......"

Although Han Meng and Zhao Xue were unwilling, listening to his analysis, it seemed that it could only be so.

After a short rest, when it was dark, Chen Nuo left Zhao Xue to supervise the army, and he took Han Meng with him, quietly passed through Sun Jianjun's garrison all the way, entered Yangcheng overnight, and met the guard Zhou Ang.

After Zhou Ang's several battles, there were less than 3,000 men and horses left in the department, and the reason why it was supported until now was because of Yuan Shao's rescue troops outside the city. Seeing Chen Nuo now, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and asked Chen Nuo how many rescuers he had brought. When he heard that there were no more than a thousand rescuers, and that they had already lost a lot, his heart was cold.

He suddenly complained about Yuan Shao, although he didn't say anything by name, Chen Nuo could also hear from his words that he was dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's arrangement from the beginning. He complained that Yuan Shao should not let a general who led the troops for the first time lead troops to save him, and the little troops he gave were obviously child's play.

Chen Nuo naturally didn't say anything, but just explained to him that Yuan Shao had asked Wen Chou to lead the troops to rescue, but because of the change in Yecheng, he had to temporarily transfer Wen Chou, so Yuan Shao didn't care about him Zhou Ang, so Zhou Ang didn't want to think about it.

Although he explained this to Zhou Ang, he persuaded and persuaded, and his heart began to feel uneasy. Yes, since Yuan Shao values Yangcheng so much, no matter how much he believes in him, it is impossible for him to entrust the safety of Yangcheng to a general like him who leads troops for the first time. What's more, he didn't even give him soldiers and horses, only gave him three days to recruit soldiers, and then let him go on the road immediately, although the matter was urgent, but he never did this.

And Yuan Shao transferred Wen Chou, although the reason was to prevent Yu Poison and Yu Fuluo from making trouble, but after all, this matter has not happened yet, and there is still room for relaxation. Take a step back and say, even if Yu Poison suddenly turns his face with them, isn't there still Zhang He and other troops stationed next to him, and it's not just a literary ugly usable! Could it be that Yuan Shao couldn't wait for Wen Chou and the others to relieve the siege of Yangcheng, and then collect troops to deal with Yu Poison them?

Yuan Shao did this, the only explanation is that if Yuan Shao didn't particularly trust Chen Nuo, then he deliberately wanted to frame Chen Nuo.

As for which point it is, it depends on what Chen Nuo thinks. Of course, Chen Nuo can only think on the bright side now, because he would rather believe that Yuan Shao is sharpening him than that Yuan Shao is killing people with a knife.

Chen Nuo ignored Zhou Ang's complaints, but said some good things for Yuan Shao, but at the same time, he changed the conversation and told Zhou Ang: "General Zhou, you are also clear about the situation now, it is impossible for Yuan Gong to send troops and horses to rescue him, and I only have those people outside the city, General Zhou, what are you going to do, please give me a happy word." ”

Zhou Ang frowned and sighed: "Since my brother Zhou Qiao has died at the hands of Sun Jian, even if General Yuan does not send troops to rescue him, I will be inseparable from Sun Jian!" Thank you, General Chen, for telling me this, if you are willing to save it, you will continue to contain Sun Jian, if you are unwilling, I Zhou Ang will not blame you. ”

Chen Nuo said: "Where is this? Since I came on the orders of Yuan Gong, how can I not save myself? It's just that if we want to fight with Sun Jian, it's not just the road of guarding Yangcheng, in fact, we still have other choices. ”

When Zhou Ang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Is there any other way?" ”

Chen Nuo nodded and said, "By the way, I also forgot to tell General Zhou that in fact, it was not only my men and horses who confronted Sun Jian outside the city, but I also invited another team to help in the battle. It's just that since they have come for profit, they can't see the benefits for a while, so they naturally refuse to send troops. ”

Zhou Ang's body moved: "Who is coming, how many people are there?" ”

Chen Nuo didn't hide it: "This person, General Zhou, must also know that he is Zhuo ...... Zhuo Zhi worships Chen and stays too guarded by Hu Zhen. As far as I know, he also has 5,000 men on his hands. ”

Chen Nuo's head hurt when he mentioned the word 'Dong Zhuo', so he learned to be smart and only mentioned one word at a time, so that he would not be taboo. It's just that this time he only said the word 'Zhuo', and his head hurt the same. That stern look flickered in front of his eyes again, and the heart-wrenching sentence of "kill Yuan Shao" drilled into Chen Nuo's ears at the same time.

Chen Nuo's body shook, trying to calm himself.

Zhou Ang didn't notice Chen Nuo's abnormal behavior, but as soon as he heard Chen Nuo's name say Hu Zhen, his face changed, and he immediately said, "No! Hu Zhen is a subordinate of Dong Thief, how can we be in the same stream as Dong Thief? ”

Chen Nuo really wanted to laugh at him for being pedantic, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said to him: "General Zhou, don't forget, although this nonsense is Zhuo...... Zhuo and his gang...... Uh......"

I feel like I've got into such a picture.

It was in the vast desert, and the second elder he and he sensed may be the original owner of the body, 'Chen Nuo', his biological parents, who were surrounded by a pack of wolves, and they were about to die with a wolf kiss. But just then, a horseman came with a group of men and horses, killed the wolf, and dispersed the wolves. That puppet is none other than the fat-headed and big-eared Dong Zhuo!

The picture was so intense and realistic, and this time the pain was even worse, Chen Nuo beat his head with his hand and shook his head vigorously.

Zhou Ang found out about Chen Nuo's strangeness this time, and hurriedly asked him: "General Chen, General Chen, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine."

Chen Nuo released his fist in pain, easing his uneasy mood. What's going on, once the sealed memory is opened, any subtle words may touch his sensitive nerves, and he doesn't want to be dominated by the consciousness of the original owner of the body, so he has to quickly interrupt some of the memory fragments that are pouring in.

He made up his mind and continued: "Although Hu Zhen came from the wrong way, you should not forget at the same time, General, Hu Zhen and Sun Jian have been entangled several times and have become old enemies, and it is not impossible to use his strength to fight against Sun Jian. Besides, the current time is a troubled time, who is right and who is wrong, and who can say clearly, history books have always been written by the victors, so there is no so-called good guy or bad guy, only absolute interests! ”

Zhou Ang was also shaken by Chen Nuo's words, and asked him: "Then according to your meaning, general, what should we do?" ”

Chen Nuo did not hesitate, and immediately told him: "Hu Zhen, he is here for Yangcheng, if we can give Yangcheng to him and let him fight with Sun Jian, we may be able to break the current predicament in one fell swoop."

The so-called snipe and clam fight, the fisherman profits, we just need to watch a good show on the side, and wait until they are both defeated and then clean up the mess for them, wouldn't it be good? ”

Zhou Ang was slightly stunned, and smacked his tongue: "General Chen, what do you mean...... Let me give this city to him? ”

Looking at Zhou Ang's puzzled eyes, Chen Nuo's belief that had always been firm was suddenly swayed. Yes, this is a city, if it is so easy to let it out, is it too hasty? His head hurt, and Dong Zhuo's evil face came in again.

He suddenly sweated profusely: "When I did this, was I involuntarily controlled by the original body owner?" Just like before, I will unconsciously persuade Zhao Yun to defect to Yuan Shao, and when Zhao Fu was in his hands, I knew that Zhao Fu was in danger and didn't remind him, but I unknowingly helped Yuan Shao a lot? ”

If so, Chen Nuo was scared for a while. It is understandable to unconsciously help Yuan Shao to obtain Jizhou, but if he helps Dong Zhuo, the big villain, wouldn't it be a big deal?

He thought seriously and thought about it repeatedly, but he quickly got the answer in his heart: "No, I am not dominated by the original master's consciousness, this is my original idea!" ”

Chen Nuo thought about these things clearly, and then nodded affirmatively.

Zhou Ang paced left and right, thought about it and thought about it, and finally made a decision: "Okay, I'm willing to bet this time!" General Chen, this Yang City will be handed over to you. ”

After coming out of Yangcheng, Chen Nuo went straight back to the station outside the city. But when he thought of the nervousness in his previous consciousness, he was afraid that his decision was still unconsciously biased towards Dong Zhuo's side, so he had another idea.

Since it was a bit risky for him to give Yangcheng to Hu Zhen, then why not do the opposite, he wanted to talk to Sun Jian in person to see if he could move Sun Jian and let Sun Jian retreat without a fight. Chen Nuo made up his mind, and he came to see Sun Jian overnight.

Unexpectedly, Sun Jian immediately refused, saying that Yangcheng was originally his station, how could it be occupied by others? Besides, he was ordered by Yuan Shu to seize Yangcheng this time, and if he didn't take Yangcheng, he would say that he would not retreat.

Although Sun Jian did not agree to Chen Nuo's request to temporarily withdraw the army, he had just fought with Chen Nuo during the day, and he admired Chen Nuo's courage very much, so he did not embarrass him, but left Chen Nuo in the tent, personally presided over the banquet, and let Han Dang, Huang Gai and other generals accompany him, and entertained him well.

Chen Nuo couldn't say anything about Sun Jian, so he had to say goodbye from Sun Jian's side, and then took Han Meng to Hu Zhen's camp again, and brought Hu Zhen the big meal of Yangcheng.

Earlier, Chen Nuo had also mentioned to him that if Hu Zhen could help, he was willing to give up Yangcheng. But Hu Zhen, an old fox, will never take action easily until he sees the actual benefits. That's why there was a battle outside Yangcheng, and he watched Sun Jian and Chen Nuo fighting, and he always stood by and watched. But now listening to Chen Nuo, the situation is different, it is Chen Nuo who directly conceded Yangcheng, and did not have to wait until after repelling Sun Jian.

Is there really such a thing as pie in the sky? Hu Zhen really couldn't believe it for a while.

He thought he had misheard, stood up straight, and said with a smile: "General Chen is saying, seriously...... Do you really want to give Yangcheng to me for nothing? ”

His tongue began to tremble because of his excitement.

You must know that he has coveted Yangcheng for a long time, and if Yangcheng is taken, he can further peek into Nanyang, deter Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, and extend Dong Zhuo's power to Jing and Henan. Dong Zhuo once sent his son-in-law Niu Fu and others to fight, but they were all defeated several times, if he can get Yangcheng without much effort today, it will be a great merit, and he will definitely be able to be promoted and make a fortune.

Chen Nuo didn't feel funny when he saw Hu Zhen's unproductive appearance, but he still gave enough face: "Yes!" But at the same time, I want to remind the general that the general won Yangcheng, but it may not be easy. General, don't forget, Sun Jian is still outside Yangcheng, so whether you can take it over smoothly depends on your ability, general. ”

Hu Zhen was fearless at this time, and smiled: "Sun Jian, what is he, tomorrow will see how good I am." ”

Waiting until the next day, Hu Zhen was really energetic, and actually killed all the Xiliang cavalry that had been hiding in the snow.

Hu Zhen was originally born in Xiliang, and most of his subordinates were Qiang Hu, and his cavalry numbered thousands, all of whom were elite men who could conquer and fight. Coupled with Hu Zhen's greed for Yang City, he promised heavy profits to his subordinates, and these people saw that it was profitable, of course, they fought bravely regardless of themselves, and their attack power increased several times at once.

Although Sun Jian has never been afraid of hard battles, after all, he has been confronting Zhou Ang outside the city for so long, and he has not been able to achieve an inch, and his morale is also a little sluggish. In addition, in yesterday's battle, he and Chen Nuo fought on the battlefield, but they did not see Hu Zhen lead his troops to participate in the battle, thinking that Hu Zhen was not enough to fear, so he neglected to guard against him. As a result, when Sun Jian's troops were suddenly attacked by Hu Zhen's cavalry, they couldn't hold their positions for a while, and Hu Zhen's troops rushed through a gap.

Since Zhou Ang, the head of the city, promised Chen Nuo to throw Yangcheng to Hu Zhen, he was always ready. When he saw that Hu Zhen led his troops to get rid of Sun Jianjun, he also ordered people to immediately lower the drawbridge, open the city gate, and let Hu Zhen's troops enter the city.

As soon as this Hu Zhen entered the city, he immediately brought Chen Nuo's words and asked Zhou Ang to lead his troops to take advantage of Sun Jian's chaos to kill out of the city and put the city in his hands. Zhou Ang looked at Hu Zhen with a fierce look, but he regretted it for a while, afraid that Yangcheng would be destroyed if it fell into Hu Zhen's hands.

After all, there are still many innocent people in Yangcheng, and these people have helped Sun Jian resist Hu Zhen to some extent, but I am afraid that Hu Zhen will indulge people and rob the people to vent their personal hatred.

But since he promised Chen Nuo, he had to fulfill his promise, not to mention that Hu Zhen's army was very strong, and since he had already entered the city, it was impossible to drive him away. Zhou Ang had no choice but to explain to Hu Zhen repeatedly, asking him to give Chen Nuo face even if he didn't give him face, and let him not come nonsense after taking over Yangcheng.

Hu Zhen was impatient to listen to him, but he was in a hurry to coax him away, so he naturally agreed casually.

At the urging of Hu Zhen, Zhou Ang had no choice but to lead his 3,000 men and horses to open the city, and took advantage of the chaos of Sun Jian's men and horses to kill again, and only then did he meet with Chen Nuo's men and horses.

Sun Jian's department was rushed back and forth by people inside and outside Yangcheng, and suffered heavy losses, which really blew up his lungs. When he finally suppressed the men and horses of each battalion, he suddenly found that the city had changed banners, and the banner of Yuan was replaced by the banner of Dong Zi, which made him even more angry and almost vomited blood.

He suddenly thought of Chen Nuo's words and deeds last night, and only blamed himself for forcing Chen Nuo too ruthlessly, and didn't let Chen Nuo find the bottom of the steps, which made Chen Nuo make such a decision. But now that things have come to this point, it's too late for him to regret it.

He immediately sent his men and horses to inquire about the whereabouts of Chen Nuo and Zhou Ang's troops, and according to the report of the detectives, it was Chen Nuo and they had already led their troops to retreat eastward, and it seemed that they did not want to wade into this troubled water.

Sun Jianzhi is in Yangcheng, since Chen Nuo and the others are gone, no matter how carefree they are, he will also put his mind on Hu Zhen and them.
