"Therefore, I dare not ask you!"

Gao Shun bowed his hand, and then bowed to Chen Nuo. When Chen Nuo saw it, he smiled, held up Gao Shun's arm, and smiled at Zhang Sheng: "This general has Gao Shun's help, why worry about the great cause?" ”

Zhang Sheng next to him smiled disapprerovingly, he didn't take it seriously at all, and casually congratulated Chen Nuo. It's no wonder that Zhang Sheng's expression, you must know that Gao Shun is similar to him in his eyes, he is both mixed mountains, and everyone is from the same background, why did Chen Nuo 'exalt' him so much? Of course, he was not convinced, and he did not take it to heart at all.

Gao Shun heard otherwise, although he knew in his heart that Chen Nuo said this sentence mostly with the meaning of 'encouragement', but he just said it casually. But whether it was intentional or unintentional, to Gao Shun's ears, these words were enough to form a nameless warm current into his body, making his heart hot. He couldn't help but be shocked, the corners of his mouth tugged slightly, glanced at Chen Nuo, and bowed down again: "Shunben is just a person who has fallen into the grass, General Meng will not give up and take him in, and Shun can only repay him with a ring!" ”

Chen Nuo nodded: "Hurry up, you're welcome!" By the way, Gao Shun, don't you have a table word, how about I give you one? I don't know how old you are in your family, where is your home? ”

"Shunben is in Hedong, the second in the family, but it was only because of the war that he entered Hongnong and fell into the grass as a bandit."

When Chen Nuo heard this, he was slightly stunned: "Oh, then Gao Shun, you still have an elder brother?" ”

"Brother?"

Gao Shun's body trembled, and his expression was gloomy: "My brother Gao Dai and his parents died in the war, that is, if Shun hadn't gone south with the Black Mountain, swam across the river and arrived here to fall into the grass, otherwise he would have starved to death." When Chen Nuo heard this, he hurriedly comforted him, and then said: "Since he is the second in the family, he is Zhongping, what do you think?" ”

"Zhongping? Gao Zhongping? ”

Gao Shun read two sentences, and then bowed: "General Xie gives the word!" ”

Chen Nuo pulled him up, very proud in his heart. Others don't know, but what he can be sure of is that this time it seems that he is really picking up a treasure. Originally, when he first heard Gao Shun's name, he couldn't confirm it in his heart, and he thought that this Gao Shun was not the same person as the 'innocent and dignified, no drinking, and no gifts' Gao Shun in history, so he would test him without thinking. Sure enough, Gao Shun's skills are really good, and he meets the standard of 'famous general'. And then, when he heard his life experience, he was more sure of Gao Shun's historical identity.

Come to think of it, Gao Shun was originally a general under Lu Bu's account, and he would definitely not be inadvertently encountered by him. Chen Nuo was not mentally prepared for this at all, because he would have this reaction when he saw Gao Shunqi, which made him unbelievable for a while. However, it is not because Gao Shun is a general under Lu Bu's account, this may not be there. In fact, there is no clear record in the history books about where Gao Shun was from and when he was put into Lu Bu's account. In other words, it's all possible. Chen Nuo's encounter with Gao Shun is also reasonable.

might as well assume that if Chen Nuo hadn't intervened in this shot, Gao Shun in history wanted to meet Lu Bu, which might have been such a scene-

He was Gao Shun, because he fled to a certain mountain in Hongnong, and temporarily fell into the grass. And on this day, he Lu Bu was besieged by Xiliang Li Dao and others because he killed Dong Zhuo, and he had to abandon Chang'an and prepare to flee to Kanto. On the route of Lu Bu's escape, it is necessary to pass through Hongnong to the east, so it is very likely that Lu Bu met Gao Shun at this time, and collected Gao Shun, a group of bandits, under his own tent. Of course, this is the first possibility, and there is another possibility. If Chen Nuo remembers correctly, think about it, in history, on the disbandment of Niu Fu's army after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Su was dispatched first, and Li Su came to Lu Bu because he was counterattacked by Niu Fu and others. And Lu Bu led troops into Shaanxi, and Gao Shun may also be Lu Bu who surrendered at that time.

Both of the above are possible, but because of the appearance of Chen Nuo, then neither of the above two is possible. Since Chen Nuo was fortunate enough to meet Gao Shun first, then Gao Shun and Lu Bu naturally have no relationship anymore. It's just that he couldn't believe the facts in front of him for a while, probably because his inherent thinking blocked his imagination, and he didn't think that all of this was possible. Chen Nuo figured this out, and there was no more burden in his heart, he just sighed lightly, and suddenly thought of something, so he asked Gao Shun: "By the way, I heard Zhong Ping mention Tianwangzhai just now, saying that Tianwangzhai can't go, what's going on?" ”

When Gao Shun heard this, he immediately took out a cylinder from his sleeve and handed a secret letter to Chen Nuo: "This is what Shun inadvertently intercepted from the group of Xiliang horses just now, general, please take a look." Chen Nuo unfolded the secret letter and looked at it, glanced at it casually, and was shocked when he saw the six big characters of 'kill the white rider when he saw the word'. As soon as he received the secret letter, he said: "It's also the will of God, if you don't let Zhong Ping intercept this secret letter, I'm afraid that as soon as the secret letter arrives, Zhang Baiqi and others will fall to the ground. Zhongping, you have made a great contribution this time, I will reward you with a hundred generals first, and then you will be promoted after accumulating military merits, what do you think? ”

100 generals, can lead 100 soldiers, according to the Han Dynasty establishment, there are still Wu Chang, Shi Chang, Du Bo. Thinking that Gao Shun is a hundred generals, I can't help but say that Chen Nuo loves him. When Zhang Sheng and the others next to him heard it, their eyes lit up, and they expressed envy. However, in Chen Nuo's opinion, this 'hundred generals' is too small, and he is not satisfied. If it was possible, he would not be able to promote him to the rank of marching Sima all at once, so as to be in line with his status.

It's just that it is precisely because Gao Shun is new and has not yet built an inch of merit, giving him a hundred generals is already the limit. No matter how big it is, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. Come to think of it, if he reluctantly acts in this matter, not only will it not be his love for Gao Shun, but I am afraid that it will make it difficult for him to be a man in the army. After all, it was already very far-fetched for him to give him a hundred generals, and the reason he found was to 'rob the secret letter'. It seems that he can only give him a 'hundred generals' first.

In fact, in Gao Shun's opinion, it was already very good that he could join Chen Nuo's army to repay the grace of saving his life, and he definitely didn't expect to rise all of a sudden, that is, the so-called 'robbery of the secret letter', it was just a fluke, and now he was forced to give him this credit by Chen Nuo, how could he not know. The expression on his face changed, and he wanted to shirk the credit, but he was immediately stopped by Chen Nuo and said, "If Zhong Ping doesn't speak, then there is no opinion, then this matter is settled." Speaking of which, since the secret letter has been seized by Zhong Ping, there is probably no danger for me to go to Tianwangzhai later. In this way, Zhongping, if you don't have anything else, how about taking me to Tianwangzhai with me? As for your injuries, there is definitely no major problem if you want to have a military doctor take care of you along the way, Zhong Ping, what do you think? ”

Gao Shun arched his hand and said, "The general ordered Shun to dare not obey his orders?" It's just that I dare to ask the general, the general is going to Tianwangzhai, can it be that Tianwangzhai really has an accident? If Tianwangzhai is controlled by the Xiliang people, I am afraid that it will be very dangerous for the general to go, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed with the general's few people. If the general is trustworthy, please let Shun go back first, and Shun can attract a group of men for the general to help the general. ”

As soon as Gao Shun said this, Chen Nuo had not yet spoken, and Zhang Sheng next to him had already spoken.

Zhang Sheng laughed and said, "General Chen, this time we have a big plan, but we must not make a foolish decision after listening to what others say." If the purpose of our trip had been known to the thieves, we would have fallen into a trap if we had gone. Zhang Sheng's words are not unreasonable, thinking that Chen Nuo and Gao Shun have just met, and let him know what they are planning, it is already a safe move to take him there, if Gao Shun is let go back alone, then the risk will be great. Even when Gao Shun heard it, his brows were also frowned, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

He is just kind-hearted, but this kindness is only afraid that he will really be misunderstood by others.

Gao Shun thought of this, and was about to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Chen Nuohaha's laughter. Chen Nuo looked at Zhang Sheng and said, "Brother Zhang Sheng, don't forget, these Xiliang people just asked for his life, and all the people in his entourage were killed by the Xiliang people, Brother Zhang Sheng, do you think Zhongping will shamelessly spread the news to the Xiliang people?" ”

"This ......"

Zhang Sheng's face turned red, which he didn't expect.

Chen Nuo ignored him, only stretched out his hand and patted Gao Shun on the shoulder, and said, "Then we will meet in Tianwangzhai then, but Zhongping, your injury is ......."

Gao Shun was shocked, he didn't expect Chen Nuo to trust him so much, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, general, this little injury is nothing, and it's okay to go back and deal with it casually." However, these brothers who came with Shun, pity them all died here, and Shun can't bring their corpses back, I wonder if the general can ask someone to help deal with it? Seeing Chen Nuo nodding, Gao Shun immediately thanked him again: "Then...... That's it! ”

"Wait!" Chen Nuo suddenly stopped Gao Shun.

Gao Shun's heart sank, it seems that he still can't believe me in the end. As soon as he turned around, he arched his hand and said, "I don't know what else the general commands?" ”

Chen Nuo turned around and ordered Zhu Rong Qingyi: "Bring the horse!" The horse he was talking about was a black steed next to him. When Zhu Rong Qingyi saw it, he probably knew what Chen Nuo wanted to do. She was slightly stunned and said, "But that black horse is your ...... general" That dark horse is extremely miraculous, and it was taken from Zhang Ji's camp after Chen Nuo broke through Zhang Ji. It is precisely because this horse is very energetic and has good foot strength that Chen Nuo has been riding it this time. Zhu Rong Qingyi also knew that Chen Nuo cherished this horse very much.

"Bring it!"

Chen Nuo had an order, and Zhu Rong Qingyi had no choice but to mumble and bring the black horse over. Chen Nuo held it in his hand, and then pulled the horse to Gao Shun, handed the reins to Gao Shun, and said with a smile: "Zhong Ping, ride it." ”

"This ......"

Gao Shun knew that he had misunderstood Chen Nuo, and he felt disgusted with himself for no reason, and he was very guilty. I didn't want to take it, but I just listened to Chen Nuo's tone and couldn't refute it, so I had to take the horse, turn over and climb on the horse, glanced at Chen Nuo, and drove away.

That Chen Nuo pulled his sleeves, looked at Gao Shun who was far away, and smiled.

Behind him, Zhu Rong Qingyi frowned, smacked Chen Nuo, and complained: "Look at Brother Chen, what are you smiling at, you will have to cry later." ”

"Why?"

Chen Nuo won Gao Shun, which made him happier than having thousands of troops. Although Gao Shun is gone temporarily, judging from Chen Nuo, if Gao Shun can't believe it, there are probably few people who can be trusted by him. He still imagined in his heart that when he returned to Yanshi in the future, he would promote Gao Shun up, let him train those Xiliang men and horses who had been surrendered, and make a thousand people come out, so that Gao Shun could be organized into an army alone, and then there would be something like 'trapping the camp'. He looked at Gao Shun's distant back for a while, and he didn't have any idea of what Zhu Rong Qingyi meant behind his ear.

"Why? Hehe, we're on the road, and you've given away your horses, so you're waiting to run slowly on your two feet. ”

"This ......"

Chen Nuo lowered his eyebrows, yes, it seems to be such a truth. It was Zhu Rong Qingyi who saw Chen Nuo's expression, he grinned and ran forward proudly.

Joke, of course, they brought a lot of horses to the west this time, let alone give away one, even if they gave away three or five horses, they didn't have to worry about the horses that were not replaced on the road. Chen Nuo accompanied Tsing Yi to perform, and he was also amused in his heart, and then glanced back at the direction where Gao Shun had gone, before turning around and discussing with Zhang Sheng and others on the road. As for Gao Shun asking them to bury those bodies before leaving, of course, someone will deal with them soon, so there is no need for Chen Nuo to worry. At this time, Zhang Si and Wang Wu next to him, the two of them had already picked out dozens of good hands in the team and handed them over to their leader Zhang Sheng, and they took the rest of the people and horses to the mountain road according to the previous agreement.

"Let's go!"

……

……

Just when Chen Nuo's side set off again to Tianwangzhai, the camp of the Niu Auxiliary Army in Shaanxi County ushered in a Xiliang general.

"Report! General, Zhonglang sent Dong Yue to say that he had brought people to defect to the general and asked the general to accept him! ”

Niu Fu in the tent listened, frowned slightly, and looked at Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu and others under the tent.

In the past two days, because of the news of Dong Zhuo's death from Chang'an, it was like a bomb thrown into the camp of the Niu Auxiliary Army, making the camp of the Niu Auxiliary Army unsafe. On the night when the news came, someone in the left battalion of the Niu Auxiliary Army raised a fire in the middle of the night and shouted, causing a commotion. Come to think of it, if Jia Xu hadn't been on duty that night and stopped it in time, I was afraid that the situation would have been even worse. Even the main general Niu Fu, because he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and has a close relationship with Dong Zhuo, is even more restless day and night. When he heard the news that day, he immediately dismissed everyone else and sat alone in the tent, fantasizing that someone might do something unjust at this time, and might kill him and carry his head to Chang'an to ask for a reward. That night, I heard that someone was raising a fire, and he said that the general trend had gone, and he was about to roll up the package and leave, but fortunately, Jia Xu came in time and temporarily calmed him down with words.

After that, Niu Fu thought that the bad news came from Zhang Xiu as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, and he only said that Zhang Xiu was a broom star, and he thought about whether he would be unfavorable to him, so he became uneasy. On the same day, he invited the person under the tent to divinate a hexagram for him, saying that it was good luck and evil. At that time, Jia Xu heard that the secret was bad. Thinking about this divination is inherently unpredictable, it is difficult to say, if it is good, it is easy to say, and if it is not good, if it involves Zhang Xiu, it will be troublesome.

Although he didn't have much to do with Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu was Zhang Ji's nephew after all, and he had a good relationship with Zhang Ji before his death, so he naturally didn't want to see him have anything. What's more, Zhang Xiu is sheltering him now, and he has to be protected no matter what he says. For this reason, he communicated with the Zheng Shi before, and asked the Zhen Shi to do a small favor, and he had to 'help both water and fire', which saved Zhang Xiu's life. At that time, for the meaning of this hexagram, the Zheng Shi and Niu Fu explained as follows, saying: "Kan is water, separation is fire, water and fire intersect, water is on fire, water potential overwhelms fire, and the fire is done." That is to say, judging from the current situation, the news of Chang'an is fire, and the coming of General Zhang Xiu is to get water, and it is a good omen for the general to get Zhang Xiu. When Niu Fu heard what the master said, he put his mind at ease and let Zhang Xiu and the others stay with peace of mind.

At this time, Niu Fu heard that Zhonglang would vote for Dong Yue, he first glanced at Jia Xu, and then waved his hand and ordered: "Zhen! ”

The Collector didn't need his command, and he knew what he told him to do. He hurriedly agreed, with a hippie smile on his mouth, but he said in his heart: "Dong Yue looked down on me before, hum, this time is just to take revenge!" He thought so, then took a hexagram in his hand, and said to Niu Fu: "Return to the general, you have to redeem the hexagram of the upper and lower levels!" ”

"Oh."

Niu Fu didn't understand these at all, his eyes were together, and he asked, "Then how is this hexagram?" ”

"This ...... I don't dare to say it. ”

The Hammer suddenly vomited.

"How? Say it! ”

The Zheng man wished that Niu Fu was in a hurry with him, and when he was in a hurry, he quickly pretended to be sincerely afraid, bowed to the ground, and hurriedly said: "Redeem the upper and lower, fire is better than gold, and it is the hexagram of the outside and the inside!" ”

"Outsider?"

Niu Fu was shocked when he heard this, slapped the wooden case, and shouted: "What a Dong Yue, you dare to murder General Ben, General Ben wants you to die!" Come! ”

As soon as Niu Fu called out, Jia Xu next to him was already moving, knowing that there was a ghost in it. He glanced at the cleaner and saw that the cleaner's forehead was sweaty, and his eyes were wandering, clearly with the intention of being a thief. He understood it in his heart, and he didn't say anything, but just raised his hand and said, "Slow! I wonder what the general is going to do? ”

Niu Fu snorted when he heard this, and shouted: "How to deal with it, of course, send troops to attack and kill him!" Could it really be that he was allowed to enter the camp to assassinate General Ben? Jia Xu smiled and said, "That's exactly what it means!" Niu Fu was slightly stunned when he heard this, although he didn't understand the meaning of Jia Xu's words for a while, he also knew that Jia Xu and his people had always been strategic, and they definitely wouldn't talk nonsense. He calmed down and thought about it carefully, and then he understood, and couldn't help clapping his hands and exclaiming: "Ah, yes, Mr.'s plan is really vicious...... Oh no, it's clever! In this way, do what Mr. wants, and quickly 'invite' Dong Yue into the camp! ”
