Luoyang is the focus of attention in the world, and it is also the center of the four directions between the princes today, and the slightest small thing that happens may attract the attention of the world, let alone such a major event as the destruction of Luoyang City.

And one of the main reasons for attracting everyone's attention this time is not the huge shock of this matter, but the fact that there are many doubts in this matter, especially when the besieging side was only 40,000 people, but they succeeded, and there was no casualty It can be said that they captured such a big city lightly, and they were not blocked or resisted, which is really strange.

Afterwards, the news also spread that the people who attacked the city were the elite cavalry under Ma Chao and Li Ru, and the people leading the army were Ma Chao's general Pang De and Li Ru's general Xu Rong.

In addition, they almost took Luoyang City bloodlessly, and getting the cooperation of the people in the city is a key factor, so those who are their internal response are also indispensable, and it can even be said that without these people, they don't have any delusions to be able to break through Luoyang City, and it is definitely not just a matter of time.

Although it has not been confirmed, there are also rumors that these people are likely to be some generals and henchmen of the current queen's father and the prince of the country, and this matter is naturally inseparable from it.

As the saying goes, the strongest fortresses are often breached from the inside, and Luoyang is one of the best cities in the whole world, and as the capital of a country, its city defense construction is needless to say. The abundance of material reserves is even more unbeatable in the world, after all, at this time, the losses that were looted by Lu Bu in Taicang, arsenals, etc., have gradually made up for it after recuperation, so if it is not such a combination of inside and outside, it is really hard to say under what circumstances it is possible to be attacked by the outside.

This seems unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, it is not so surprising, at least compared to other cities, the situation in Luoyang City is indeed the most complicated, and the relationship between people is intricate. Even many times it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe. Betrayal and rebellion are normal things.

Just like this time to help Ma Chao and others, in the eyes of many people, it is not a betrayal of Lu Bu, after all, not everyone can see Lu Bu's "true face" clearly, in the eyes of most people. Although Lu Bu is a military general. However, it has won the favor and goodwill of many civil officials; On the contrary, it is Ma Chao. Even the remnants of Li Ru and his family, left by the original national thief Dong Zhuo, belong to a group of people who must not be with them, and in this case, Fu Wan actually turned his back on Lu Bu and cooperated with Ma Chao and Li Ru. This greatly damaged his reputation inside and outside the government and the opposition, and among the scholars.

Fu Wan should also know this situation, and even know that in the current situation, the more he explains, the more unclear it becomes, and he simply closes the door, of course, even so, no one can deny the credit he played in the process of Pang De and others attacking Luoyang.

In contrast, what is even more confusing and strange is that Jia Xu, Zhang Liao and others, who were ordered by Taiwei Lu Bu to guard Luoyang, actually did not have much resistance to the team led by Pang De during this period, and left Luoyang City directly, and their whereabouts are still unknown.

Of course, no one believed that they were exterminated by Ma Chao's side, and their strength was still far behind, and it looked more like Jia Xu and others were going to deliberately give up Luoyang City, but unfortunately not many people dared to think about this matter, but Xun Chen was definitely not in the ranks of those who dared not think about it, and even when he heard the news, his first thought was to praise.

He sensed an unusual aura in it, and his heart was straight and interesting, he knew that this could not be his brother's trick, he was not really good at strategy, although he had a good view of the big picture; It shouldn't be the nephew of the clan, although Xun Chen has never gotten along with the other party, and has never even seen the other party, but from the few words he heard, he can roughly infer that the other party will not be such a person.

In this way, there are really a lot of capable people under Lu Bu, but I don't know if this is with Lu Bu's approval or if the other party makes his own opinion?

Jiang Qi, who was the only one under Yuan Tan who was relatively close to Xun Chen and specially conveyed the news this time, was surprised when he saw Xun Chen's expression, and his face was a little strange, Xun Chen, who came back to his senses, immediately noticed it, but he just shook his head secretly, and he didn't mean to explain.

For him, as long as he knows his own mind, it doesn't matter if others can understand it or not, even if he is regarded as a crazy and stupid person, what effect can it have on him?

In fact, to be honest, in Xun Chen's opinion, sometimes people will be misunderstood, and it is not a bad thing, at least this can keep him very sober at all times, which is a good aspect of other people's eyes; In addition, if you do something that is incomprehensible to outsiders, but you feel that it is very necessary and useful, this is an excellent layer of disguise, which will greatly reduce the disgust and rejection of others.

However, he is not very clear about what kind of image he has in Jiang Qi's heart, in fact, Jiang Qi is not without a little complaint about Yuan Tan's promotion and reuse of Xun Chen, but he is different from other generals under Yuan Tan in that he can consider more from the side of the lord in case of trouble, he feels that this matter may be beneficial to Yuan Tan, so naturally there will be no objections, but if he wants to recognize Xun Chen, he also needs the other party to really have the ability to convince him.

At present, it seems that Xun Chen has done a good job, at least the plans made for Yuan Tan all the way from Changshan have played a good role, and some of them are still working, in this case, it is clear that Xun Chen has a great future under Yuan Tan, so Jiang Qi, who is not very interested in Xun Chen, has gradually begun to get closer to him, compared to some other generals who have not dared to disobey Xun Chenyang but have no intersection with Jiang Qi in terms of vision. It is no wonder that Jiang Qi is currently Yuan Tan's most trusted general, and there is no one.

Xun Chen naturally noticed Jiang Qi's careful thoughts, but unfortunately he never served under Yuan Tan for the sake of fighting for power or fame as Jiang Qi thought, after all, if it was really for the sake of power and fame, whether it was for Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Liu Yan and Liu Biao, it was many times better than Yuan Tan.

In short, the current Xun Chen actually has little pursuit of those vanity and flashy power, and he has no motivation to pursue, he is now not so much helping Yuan Tan, but completely for his last wish, once this wish is fulfilled, then he will die immediately, and he will die without regrets.

It seems that Yuan Tan, Jiang Qi and even Jia Xu naturally don't understand, Xun Chen's actions are all to prove, to prove that it is not that he has no ability and no ability, but that he can't perform at all, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and he can't get the trust of the peak, even if he has Zhang Liang and Xiao He's talents, what can he do?

If you want to, with Xun Yu and Xun You's current status as popular under Lu Bu, Xun Chen thinks that he has already come out, but he is still unwilling, born in the famous family of Yingchuan Xun family, and has always been one of the best, when he was famous and recruited by Yuan Shao, Xun Yu and Xun You didn't know where they were, and now he wants to rely on the two of them instead, teach him how to be willing?

Xun Chen has his pride and dignity, and these do not allow him to bow his head lightly, not to mention that he has to consider that even with the recommendation of Erxun, Lu Bu, who has many talents under him, how much attention can he pay to him, what if he is still like under Yuan Shao, he has been obscure?

Fed up with this kind of day, Xun Chen couldn't tolerate it anymore, so he thought of a path that was diametrically opposed to Lu Bu's side, which was not even the icing on the cake, that is, to help Yuan Tan and send charcoal in the snow, so that he could show his abilities and ambitions, even if it was worth dying.

For a child from a family like Xun Chen, there are really not many people who can really think about the country and the people, so for his own selfishness, he dared to pull these tens of thousands of Yuan Tan troops into the fire pool of Luoyang, and he didn't care whether the people of the Central Plains, who were still in frequent wars, could withstand such a big toss.

Xun Chen's repeated arrangements this time were indeed big enough, not only seizing the opportunity of Ma Chao and Li Ruqi to attack Luoyang, but also taking the opportunity to join forces with them to invite the two overlords of Yizhou Liu Yan and Jingzhou Liu Biao, and then to seduce Cao Cao.

With so many people coming together, Xun Chen actually wanted to be able to defeat Lu Bu, that would be the best, even if he couldn't compete with Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others, with Yuan Tan's background and the first to come out, it was possible to be a local feudal official, Xun Chen could also use this to make steady progress at that time, and it would be okay to assist Yuan Tan in the future.

However, at this time, the news from Luoyang made Xun Chen admire the person behind him, but he also felt a headache.

This matter was sudden, it was unexpected, and it was difficult to come up with a good response for a while, especially when Ma Chao and Li Ru's army had already invaded Luoyang, and it was originally just Xun Chen who was using the other party's mind, at this time, he couldn't help but regret that he didn't let Yuan Tan be stationed in Pingxian County earlier, which was very close to Luoyang, and they could rush to the city in a few hours, and they could also take the opportunity to enter Luoyang City as well, and the situation was easier to control, and now in what capacity should they communicate with Li Ru's "ghost fox"?

Jiang Qi saw that Xun Chen was deep in thought again, and he didn't dare to disturb, he was originally ordered by Yuan Tan to come over to convey the news and ask for advice by the way, but now it seems that Xun Chen is already thinking of a way, and he doesn't need to talk too much.

After a long time, Xun Chen's eyes lit up slightly, and when he saw Jiang Qi's expectant gaze looking at him, he smiled and said: "General Jiang, let's go to see the lord, Chen has something important to discuss......" (To be continued......)
