After Gongsun Zhan defeated the Yellow Turban in Dongguang, he collected the Yellow Turban and scattered tens of thousands of people. Originally, after a big war like Dongguang, he should have taken a break to recuperate, but Gongsun Chan didn't do that.

The reason why Gongsun Chan was in a hurry to send troops was entirely because of the existence of Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo, with only a thousand people, actually defeated tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans, and since then he has been based in Xiu County, how can he make Gongsun Zhan sit in peace?

At the beginning, these tens of thousands of yellow scarves were used by him to implement his plan of 'borrowing a knife to kill', but now not only did it not succeed, but also allowed Chen Nuo's power to expand, and the surrounding counties were even more shocked, and the effect was also counterproductive, and Gongsun Chan couldn't let him go Chen Nuo.

Therefore, once this Dongguang broke the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, his Gongsun Zan also immediately waved his troops to attack Chen Nuo, wanting to pull out Chen Nuo's nail with lightning speed. It's just that he didn't expect that Chen Nuo actually left without a fight and went to Guangchuan, which made Gongsun Chan even more uneasy.

Originally, he was still a little lucky for Chen Nuo to gain a foothold in Xiuxian, he also thought that the city of Xiuxian was not thick, and Zhangshui outside the city was too close, so he could use Zhangshui to defeat Chen Nuo as a last resort, so he hoped that Chen Nuo would not leave in Xiuxian at that time.

It's just that once he heard the news that Chen Nuo collected the soldiers and horses to Guangchuan, Gongsun Chan immediately felt bad.

Although he has been fighting with the Yellow Turban, he is still aware of the movements in Hebei at any time, how can he not know about such a big event as Guangchuan's expansion of the city? Moreover, Guangchuan's geographical location is superior, and Chen Nuo has gained a lot of grain and grass in the previous battle, if Chen Nuo has a foothold in Guangchuan, then he will be hindered from attacking Yecheng westward. And if he abandoned Guangchuan and attacked Yecheng directly, he was afraid that Chen Nuo of Guangchuan would stab him in the back, so he must not sit idly by and watch Chen Nuo gain a foothold in Guangchuan.

Originally, he came all the way to lead the troops, thinking that although Chen Nuo had left Xiuxian, the people of Xiuxian County must not let go.

Thinking that this Xiu County belongs to Bohai, and Gongsun Fan is the name of Bohai Taishou, when Chen Nuo came to take Xiu County, the people of Xiu County not only did not resist, but also opened the city to welcome each other, which was angry for Gongsun Zhan; In addition, they were so generous to Chen Nuo when he fought against the Yellow Turban, and he hated the people of Xiuxian County even more.

Since Chen Nuo can't be caught for the time being, it's always okay to sprinkle anger on the heads of the people of Xiu County, right?

Even at the beginning of the deception of the county gate, his grandson Zan was still thinking about how to unload the people in the city. But he didn't expect that Chen Nuo would just leave, and he actually left the big seal of the county order of Xiuxian County, and asked people to show it to his Gongsun Zan obediently.

Chen Nuo's move, in Gongsun Zhan's view, was tantamount to showing weakness to him.

Since the enemy has shown weakness to him, what is there to fear? Gongsun Chan thought so arrogantly.

It's not surprising that he has such an idea, thinking that his Gongsun Zhan has just gone through the battle of Dongguang and defeated a million yellow turbans, whether it is prestige or power, it is a straight line, and the world will know him as a person from then on. What made him even happier was that the millions of yellow scarves in Qingzhou were easily defeated by him with a snap of his fingers, and such a small Yuan Shao was even more needless to ignore.

Therefore, on the day when Gongsun Chan besieged Guangchuan, he also issued a crusade to the world, and the person who was crusaded was Yuan Shao.

In the text, Gongsun Chan counted Yuan Shao's ten major crimes, not only denounced him as a great villain who was disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, but also exposed Yuan Shao's old background.

As early as before, Gongsun Zhan heard a gossip from Yuan Shu, saying that Yuan Shao's biological mother was actually just a lowly maid and maid, and he was just listening to it casually at that time, but now he is just seizing this big fuss. So he wrote down this matter in the text and announced it to the world.

This text spread to all counties and counties in Jizhou, and the ensuing waves were not expected by Yuan Shao.

Jizhou was originally unstable, but after Gongsun Zhan won the victory of Dongguang, there were many people who saw the wind and made the rudder. Now this inscription is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. In less than ten days, many counties and counties in Jizhou announced their separation from Yuan Shao and joined Gongsun Zhan's camp.

For a time, the situation in Jizhou changed dramatically again.

Yuan Shao of Yecheng, after seeing this text, was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He could no longer sit still, and immediately gathered all the civil and military forces to discuss how to deal with it.

As soon as Yuan Shao sat down, General Ko Yi stood up and reminded Yuan Shao of the battle in Guangchuan again.

Now Gongsun Chan's army of tens of thousands is besieging Guangchuan, and the garrison on Guangchuan is insufficient, so I am afraid that it will not be able to last. Yao Gong and Chen Nuo have already asked for reinforcements from here several times, so please Yuan Shao can pay attention to it and quickly send troops to rescue him. In addition, Koji himself asked to lead the people of the department first.

After Yuan Shao listened, he turned his eyes to the other staff members and remained silent for a while.

Don't drive Tian Feng to see that Yuan Shao still looked hesitant, which aroused the anger in his heart, he immediately stood up and said loudly: "The so-called constant judgment is chaotic!" If you sit back and ignore Gongsun Zhan, not only will it be useless, but I am afraid that it will cause panic in other counties! I think that Gongsun Zhan's text can still cause cracks in the various departments of Jizhou, if he breaks through Guangchuan, then I am afraid that the situation will be worse than now.

Moreover, I have three counties and six countries in Jizhou, and the only ones who do not rebel are my Yecheng, Zhaoguo, Julu, Qinghe and Anping two counties and three kingdoms. And at this juncture, General Chen can still hold on to the lonely city of Guangchuan, which is really rare, if the general does not save him as soon as possible, he is afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses and regret it too late! ”

After Tian Feng finished speaking, the prison commander said in frustration: "Don't drive, I hope the general will think twice!" ”

The others also nodded their heads and asked Yuan Shao to send troops.

At this time, Yuan Shao had already been angered by Gongsun Zhan, even if they didn't say it, he was determined to send troops. With the support of everyone, it was even more instantaneous, and it was immediately announced that 50,000 troops would be raised, and the troops would be sent to Guangzong, and let Liyi lead the men and horses of his department first.

Koji's side has just sent troops from Yecheng, but Guangchuan City's side is changing rapidly.

At the beginning of Gongsun Zhan's troops in Guangchuan, Chen Nuo had already organized an attack, with the purpose of giving Gongsun Chan a little bit of power.

On the same day, Gongsun Fan's previous troops arrived and were about to set up camp outside Guangchuan City, waiting for Gongsun Zhan's arrival. But Chen Nuo didn't give him a chance to breathe, personally brought men and horses, sneaked out of the city, and pounced on his camp that had not yet been set up. Most of the soldiers led by Gongsun Fan were Youzhou soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was good, but in the face of the sudden attack, they ended in a fiasco, and Gongsun Fan was even more disgraced, so he had no choice but to abandon his men and horses to see Gongsun Zhan.

Although this battle was lucky to defeat Gongsun Fan, and it also slightly hit the arrogance of Gongsun Zhan's department, the overall situation did not change because of this.

Gongsun Zhan's army came to Guangchuan City as scheduled and surrounded Guangchuan City.

This group of people is not as good as the Yellow Turban Army at the beginning, they are veterans with long-term combat experience, plus they have just won a big victory in Dongguang, and their morale is flourishing, which is not comparable to Chen Nuo's department. What's more, today's Gongsun Zhan's department is far superior to the Yellow Turban Army outside the city in terms of numbers, and it cannot be underestimated.

In the face of the disparity in power, of course Chen Nuo did not dare to hold it up, he hurriedly united with Prime Minister Yao Gong, and the two jointly sent several distress documents to Yuan Shao, hoping that Yuan Shao could lead troops to relieve the siege of Guangchuan as soon as possible. Of course, before the arrival of Yuan Shao's army, Chen Nuo could only rely on Guangchuan City to confront Gongsun Zhan's army of more than 100,000.

Gongsun Zhan has too many men and horses, and the equipment is also very good, once the city is attacked, Chen Nuo's troops will lose hundreds of men and horses. This is just Gongsun Zhan's tentative attack, if it is a full-scale attack, I am afraid that Chen Nuo will have to end in a fiasco.

As a last resort, in order to maintain his strength, Chen Nuo thought of the trick of temporarily summoning volunteers.

With the experience of repairing the county, coupled with the trust of the people of Guangchuan City in Chen Nuo, it was quite convenient for the people to be gathered, and many of them spontaneously joined the army. However, within a few days, the number of volunteers who had been replenished had reached 2,000, which could suspend the pressure on the defending army.

But after many days, there is still no shadow of Yuan Shao's army, and it is not a way to go on like this for a long time.

Chen Nuo did not wait for the arrival of Yuan Shao's army, but first waited for the news that Yao Gong was sick and bedridden.

Although the current military power of Guangchuan City falls into the hands of Chen Nuo, Yao Gong is still the nominal minister of Qinghe State after all, and Chen Nuo still has to show more or less concern for Yao Gong's sudden illness.

In his busy schedule, Chen Nuo took Dian Wei and more than a dozen other personal soldiers to Yao Xiang's mansion and came to see Yao Gong in person.

Yao Gong hummed and chirped and lay on the sickbed, and when he saw Chen Nuo coming, he only turned sideways, saying that it was inconvenient to stay, and hoped that Chen Nuo would forgive him. Chen Nuo glanced at him carefully, although his eyebrows were locked, his complexion was ruddy after all, and he couldn't tell that he was a sick person.

Chen Nuo casually said a few haha, and he didn't say anything in particular. However, Yao Gong deliberately asked about the situation in the city on the grounds of illness, saying that his illness seemed to have to trouble Chen Nuo to defend the city.

Chen Nuo said politely, and said: "None of these are anything, it's just that Yao Xiang, you have to get better earlier, resist Gongsun Zhan in me, and appease the people, but you can be Yao Xiang." Yao Xiang, have you heard that this traitor Gongsun Zan has recently distributed a crusade document to various ministries in Jizhou, and this document has come to many places in Jizhou.

Seeing that the wind was making the helmsman, they took this opportunity to turn to the traitor Gongsun Zan one after another. Even in some small county seats, because the county order did not handle the relationship with the subordinates, the people united and killed the county order, so that in many places there was a state of no owner in a county......"

When Yao Gong heard this, his face changed, and he coughed twice deliberately: "Uh...... Is it? These people are not afraid of the government's crusade against them? ”

Chen Nuo smiled and said: "Yao Xiang, you think too simply, I think that at such a time, Jizhou is in turmoil, who has the time to take care of this?" Don't say that Gongsun Zhan is gone, but I'm afraid that General Yuan won't have the heart to pay attention to it for a while. This is called seizing opportunities, taking revenge with hatred, and complaining with grievances. Those people who usually have deep grievances with the upper area have taken such a great opportunity, do you think they can not grasp it, so it is not strange to see such a thing. ”

Chen Nuo deliberately said it word by word to Yao Gong, but Yao Gong was so frightened that his face was completely pale.

He knows best what he usually does, and he can't see it in peacetime, but after the battle of Guangchuan, he has completely let the people see through his true face of Yao Gong. In order to rectify the city of Guangchuan, he was arresting the people, and he had already heard of their grievances. What made him even more uneasy was that in the battle against the Yellow Turbans in the previous time, in order to win, he did not hesitate to use a large number of people, and he had already caused the people to complain. If it is really as Chen Nuo said, if these people make trouble at this juncture, how can it be good?

However, Yao Gong still doubted more than he believed in such a rebellious move as the people rebelled and killed officials. From Chen Nuo's words now, he heard the sound outside the strings, and he couldn't help but feel a chill all over.

If it wasn't for the people who wanted to put him to death, but Chen Nuo?

If Chen Nuo uses the 'people' to make a big fuss, and then blames the people for his death, can he also say that it is in the past?

I'm afraid it's not just Chen Nuo who will do this, there must be many people who have the same idea.

When he thought of this, and then looked at Chen Nuo's uncertain look, he was even more sure of his thoughts.

His hands couldn't help but tremble, cold sweat broke out on his body, and the warm quilt in the winter suddenly felt like an ice cellar and a stove.

"But then again......"

Chen Nuo smiled: "An honest and honest person like Yao Xiang, it's too late for the people to love you, naturally it won't be unfavorable to Yao Xiang, Yao Xiang, you can rest assured that you can recuperate." As for the rest, there is me. ”

Yao Gong looked at his Chen Nuo's kind expression again, and suddenly felt that he had thought too much about it just now. But hearing him say this so heavily, he must have deliberately beaten him for some reason, could it be that he saw that he was faking his illness?

When Yao Gong thought of this, he quickly coughed twice out of breath, which could be regarded as a little cover-up.

But Chen Nuo's words didn't stop, he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly said: "Just now when I talked about this article, I still want to say a few more words, Yao Xiang, you won't be surprised, right?" ”

Yao Gong smiled: "Ahem, where, General Chen, please say." ”

Chen Nuo sighed lightly: "Now that the situation outside Yao Xiang, you probably know it, there are many counties because of their weak will, and as a result, they turned to him because of a letter from this traitor Gongsun Zhan, and it is really not a pity that such a person is gone."

I heard that now not only Bohai, but also Hejian, Zhongshan, Changshan and other countries have successively announced the recognition of Gongsun Chan as the co-master, and the only remaining countries are us. What do you think about this matter, Yao Xiang? ”

When Yao Gong heard this, his heart still couldn't help but tremble slightly. This is too sensitive to be discussed.

Yao Gong coughed lightly twice, deliberately pretending to be stupid: "This ...... What's this...... This matter must be General Yuan's own opinions, like those of us as subordinates, we just need to abide by our duties and not be delusional. ”

Chen Nuo smiled: "I love to hear Yao Xiang's words. Hey, if you think the world is difficult now, if you are in our position, you should also be cautious, otherwise you will make a wrong step, and every step will be wrong. Yao Xiang, do you say yes? ”

Yao Gong couldn't help but smile bitterly when Chen Nuo said this, what did Chen Nuo mean by this, did he tell me?

Although he had this doubt in his heart, it was not good to question Chen Nuo in person. After all, the military power of Guangchuan City is already in his hands, and he sounds good as a prime minister, but it can only be an ornament.

He nodded again and again, and said, "Ahem, what General Chen said is very true, I, Yao Gong, have been taught!" ”

Chen Nuo changed his words and suddenly asked him: "By the way, I heard that Anping Guoxiang Gao Yan and Yao Xiang have been friends for many years, right?" ”

Why did he ask this? Yao Gong thought about it, but he had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes, I have been friends with him for some years, what's the matter, General Chen, you are also interested in Gao Yan and Gao Xiang?" ”

Chen Nuo laughed: "I'm just a little Sima, how dare I climb high and look like him?" But then again, now that Gongsun Zhan's army is forcing me to go down the city, it is rare to think that Gao Xiang can sit as steadily as Mount Tai to defend Anping from beginning to end, and not be as anxious as others to show his attitude. The so-called Bandang sees loyal ministers, and I hope that Gao Xiang can continue to be as always, and don't be confused for a while! ”

When he said the word 'confused', he turned to stare at Yao Gong.

"Ahem!"

Yao Gong's face changed instantly, and he hurriedly coughed to cover it, but he beat his small drum in his heart.

He didn't dare to face Chen Nuo's forced gaze, and suddenly felt cramped and uneasy.

Chen Nuo came to tell him this, what did he mean?

Yao Gong didn't dare to breathe, his mind was full of thoughts, and he actually forgot that Chen Nuo was there for a while. Fortunately, at this time, a soldier walked in outside the door and reported to them that a group of soldiers and horses outside the city had arrived, waving a high-lettered banner, as if Gao Yan of Anping Country had arrived.

When Yao Gong heard this, he almost jumped up, his face was full of joy, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it Gao Xiang?" Hurry up, open the city to welcome! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he was too reckless to say this, after all, now the garrison of Guangchuan City has been handed over to Chen Nuo to deal with, so he has to ask Chen Nuo about this matter first.

Chen Nuo looked at Yao Gong's expression, and then smiled: "This says Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived, Yao Xiang, congratulations!" ”

"Cao Cao?"

What does this matter have to do with Cao Cao? Yao Gong was also confused by Chen Nuoyi's words, but he was in no mood to pay attention to this, and hurriedly said: "I think Gao Xiang must have come here to save me from the siege of Guangchuan, so I also ask General Chen that you can welcome Gao Xiang into the city on behalf of the Prime Minister, there is General Lao!" ”

Chen Nuo smiled, arched his hand, and said: "Sure enough, Gao Xiang has a big face, and before others arrive, Yao Xiang, when you hear his name, you are more energetic, it seems that this Gao Xiang has to go and invite him personally." But then again, whether or not this can be done or not, I have to ask Yao Xiang to take care of it more first. ”

Chen Nuo said, left Yao Gong, and left Yao Gong Mansion with Dian Wei and the others, and went straight to the West Gate.
