Chapter 6: A Promise to You

Standing on the tower of Pingyuan City, looking down at the city, I couldn't help but gasp.

Under the city, people and horses are scattered like ants on the vast land, layer upon layer, as if they want to devour the huge plain city. The surging battle spirit forced every defender in the city to have varying degrees of tension. Under this city, there are more than 10,000 people, and their leading general is Chen Nuo. In less than half a month, the team led by Chen Nuo was like a bulldozer, crushing one city after another. Beiqiu, Lingxian, Gaotang, and now, they have been killed under the city of the plains.

"Ahem, ahem!"

I don't know if it's nervous or weak-hearted, I didn't dare to look at it anymore after just glancing at the city, and asked the soldier behind me: "The man who asked for help was sent out?" The soldier immediately replied to him: "Rest assured, general, the men and horses asking for help are already on the way, and I think there will be news in a few days." Shan Jing nodded, and at the same time instructed: "Intensify the inspection, don't give the thieves a chance to take advantage of it." As soon as Chen Nuo's army arrived, he didn't even fight a battle, gathered his soldiers and horses into the city, and waited for reinforcements behind closed doors.

After explaining, he suddenly looked up and looked ahead. A few miles ahead was a small hill with trees on it, and at the beginning of the morning the sun was emitting a mist and dew. However, there was a sudden flash in the fog, as if something was flickering. With just one glance, Shan Jing looked light, couldn't help frowning, rubbed his eyes, and found that he didn't see anything. The soldiers behind him were also strange when they saw him behaving so strangely: "General, what's wrong with you?" Shan Jing did not answer, thinking that it was a delusion, so he went straight to the city.

At the top of the opposite hill, there was a big rock, and on top of the big rock, Chen Nuo was sitting cross-legged, breathing and breathing. This set of kung fu was given to him by Yu Ji, and these days he has also strictly followed Yu Ji's instructions, doing it once in the morning and once in the evening. The flash that was emitted just now was inadvertently triggered by Chen Nuo. Speaking of which, Yu Ji gave him this set of spitting methods, to put it simply, to teach him to use the power of nature to lead it into his body, so that it oppresses and devours another thought soul in his body.

In the past few days, every time Chen Nuo does it, as long as he is halfway through, an invisible warm air will arise in him. And this breath is like the sun, scorching heat. And at this time, the other soul in the body always can't stand this breath, and it can't help but struggle, but it is painful to die and live, like torture. Every time he was 'tortured', Chen Nuo also had to endure the terrible screams it emitted. Of course, this kind of cry is only produced in his head, and there is no feeling outside, but some light flashes out. This light was like a figure rushing out of Chen Nuo's head, raising his head and roaring. But the roar is inaudible, and even the shadows are scattered in the early morning fog and dew, which is not clear, like clouds and mist, and is generally difficult to see with the naked eye. And after being 'tortured' again and again, the originally powerful soul was destroyed little by little, and at this time, it was even more frightened of Chen Nuo, and it was as afraid as a tiger, so naturally it no longer dared to easily try to fight back against Chen Nuo. The refining of the white sun can be regarded as the method of suppression.

As for the night, facing the moonlight, it produces a cold and cold qi, and at this time, the cold qi erodes into the soul of the mind, like an insect bite, biting the soul of the mind inch by inch. After a long time, Chen Nuo could clearly feel that the soul of the mind was gradually mutilated and shrinking. Of course, the soul of the other party that was bitten and devoured was transformed into his soul at the same time, constantly strengthening and strengthening his own soul thoughts. And this is the first realm in the foundation building realm of this law, Peiyuan Solid Foundation. Devour the soul of the opponent and strengthen your own soul. After the remnant soul in the body is completely devoured and completely refined, I believe that the second realm of foundation building can be opened to make up for the loss and rejuvenate, and even the third, fourth, and fifth realms of the dragon return secret, furnace fire casting, and phantom sword technique.

He believed that if he continued to practice according to this method of breathing, it would not take long for him to completely devour the remnant soul in his body and take it for himself. And once the remnant soul is cleaned up, this body can be said to be what he really has. After some 'torture' and destroying the remnant soul in his body to the point of weakness, Chen Nuo slowly exhaled and opened his eyes. Morning's homework is done. As soon as he stood up, he inhaled the breath of the grass and trees around the mountain, and suddenly felt refreshed, and blasted his waist before he stood up from the boulder. As far as the eye could see, the plain city on the opposite side was like a square box under his eyes. Chen Nuo smiled and read in his mouth: "Shan Jing, Shan Jing, you are smart, I come, you don't dare to take a knife or a shot and go back to the city to shrink, you must be waiting for Gongsun Zhan's reinforcements, right?" Haha, I'm going to make a bet on when you'll be able to wait for Gongsun Chan to come. ”

Behind him, there are Dian Wei and others who personally protect the Dharma. Seeing that Chen Nuo had finished his work, Dian Wei stepped forward and bowed his hand to Chen Nuo: "Lord, General Zhao Xue asked if he could launch an attack on Pingyuan City?" Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Let's fight!" If you don't give him a little power, you really let him be the eighth king of the millennium! ”

The news of Chen Nuo's siege of Pingyuan City reached the front of Gongsun Zhan's tent in Bohai, and of course, along with this news, Liu Bei's loss of Gaotang's military information.

Gongsun Zhan saw that the plain was surrounded, Liu Bei ran away, his eyes were glaring, and he roared: "Bastard! What the! It's that Chen Nuo again! ”

Gongsun Fan, who was standing under the tent, saw that Gongsun Chan's expression was wrong, and immediately stepped forward and asked Gongsun Chan, "Big brother, what's wrong?" Gongsun Chan didn't speak, and handed him the secret letter. Gongsun Fan glanced at it quickly, and his face turned dark: "What?" Liu Bei lost Lingxian and Gaotang, and now Chen Nuo has sent troops to besiege the plains? This...... This ......" Gongsun Fan sighed twice, thought of the key, hugged his fists, and said: "Big brother! Please give me 5,000 soldiers and horses, and my brother will go to the aid of the plains! Gongsun Chan stared at Gongsun Fan for a moment, suddenly sighed lightly, and said: "Chen Nuofei is a good person, it's not that I look down on you, you are afraid that you will not be his opponent, and you will give your life in vain." Moreover, the battle between me and Yuan Benchu in the Bohai Sea has reached a critical juncture, and my side is invincible. Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! ”

Gongsun Zhan's voice was like a bell, and these three 'difficult' sounds were like thunderbolts, and Gongsun Fan's body trembled when he heard it, and he immediately sobered up. He thought of how he had lost to Chen Nuo when he was in Guangchuan before, and he thought of how the Battle of Jieqiao had completely destroyed Hakuba Yicong. He trembled for a moment, and did not dare to say any more. Then he asked: "With Liu Bei's men and horses still being played around by Chen Nuo, and finally the army was defeated and left, now there are only 3,000 people and horses in the plain city, and I am afraid that the grain and grass will not be able to supply for a while, if I don't send rescuers, I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain...... If Chen Nuo is allowed to occupy the plains and cut off the connection between our army and Qingzhou, I am afraid that it will be even more disadvantageous for the eldest brother, right? ”

Gongsun Zhan shook his head: "The safety of the plain is the key to maintaining the stability of Qingzhou, but it is not absolute. If I had a choice, I wouldn't ignore it. However, the current situation is no longer favorable to us, and if we forcibly divide our troops, not only will we not be able to save the siege of the plains, but we are afraid that we will increase our own danger at the same time. At this time, the only way to do this is to abandon the car and give up the plains......"

"What, abandon the plains?" Gongsun Fan thought that he had heard it wrong, so he couldn't help but rub his ears.

Gongsun Chan glanced at him and said: "There is a saying in the art of war, if you are united, you will be profitable, and if you divide it, since the plain is no longer protecting, then it is better to throw it to him, as long as the Qi State is preserved, my Gongsun Zhan's foundation in Qingzhou will not be dispersed!" Hey, speaking of which, I was too anxious at the beginning, and on the basis of not stabilizing Jizhou, I forcibly sent people and horses out, wanting to blossom in Qingzhou on all sides, and preparing to take Jizhou as soon as possible, and connect Qingzhou together, then the foundation of my grandson's family will be considered stable. However, who knew that in the battle of Jieqiao, our army was defeated for a while, so that the current situation was caused by Yuan Benchu at the door of the house, but he had no power to fight back. Now it's good, seeing that it is hard to pocket half of the land of Qingzhou, and suddenly Yuan Benchu was transferred back to Chen Nuo's house, and he was killed for a while, causing my Qingzhou people to collapse, and even that Liu Da'er was useless. Since Chen Nuo wants the plain, then it's better to throw it to him, I think the old man will join Liu Xuande and the two departments of Shan Jing into the Qi State, with Tian Kai's operation for so long, he must be able to resist Chen Nuo for a while. As long as I look for an opportunity to defeat Yuan Benchu, it is not too late to free up my hand to deal with Chen Nuo again. ”

Gongsun Fan could only swallow his breath when he heard what Gongsun Chan said, and said: "It seems that it can only be like this, I hope that after Chen Nuo wins the plain, he will not know how to advance and retreat and then attack the good of Qi State." ”

At the same time, Chen Nuo captured Gaotang and Lingxian, drove Liu Bei away, and the news of the siege of the plain was reported to Yuan Shao's case, and the generals under Yuan Shao's account couldn't help but have their own thoughts. There are those who are red and hot, and there are those who are sincerely respected, only Yuan Shao laughed dryly, said some decent words, and then broke up.

Back under the tent, Yuan Shao was silent, and the tent fell into a calm state for a while.

"General, Lord Feng Ji asks to see you."

"Biography!"

When Ji came into the account, he saw Yuan Shao's eyes at a glance, but he didn't say anything, he deliberately said something about the current situation in Bohai, and analyzed two sentences for Yuan Shao. When he heard what Feng Ji said roughly, Yuan Shao was already impatient and whispered to Feng Ji: "This Chen Ranzhi is really a headache and makes people uncomfortable!" ”

Feng Ji rolled his eyes and laughed in a low voice: "Hasn't Yuan Gong always had a headache about Qingzhou, now that Qingzhou has Chen Ranzhi, Yuan Gong, you don't have to worry about it, why do you have a headache for him instead?" ”

Yuan Shao snorted and said: "At the beginning, because Chen Ranzhi killed the three generals of Xiliang and Zhang Ji, I was afraid that he would become big in Yanshi, so I discussed a plan to 'divert the tiger from the mountain' and completely uprooted his roots from Yanshi. Now he is helping my son, it was an expedient measure, but he has conquered several cities in less than half a month, and every battle must be the first, and his prestige is accumulating day by day. Instead, my son was spinning around behind his ass, like a puppet. If it goes on for so long, even if this Qingzhou is laid, what will be achieved by that time is his prestige Chen Ranzhi, won't my son's assassin history be subject to him, how can I control him in the future? ”

Feng Ji smiled, nodded and said, "It turns out that Yuan Gong has a headache with this problem, it's easy to do!" Now that the plain is besieged, it won't take long for Chen Ranzhi to take it down. Now that the county seat of Pingxian County has been laid, the eldest prince will have a foundation, and there will be no need to be afraid of not being able to encroach on Qingzhou step by step. In this way, there are not many places that can be used to Chen Ranzhi. In this case, he Chen Ranzhi can support the eldest prince, can't others? ”

Yuan Shao heard the taste: "Yuan Tu, do you mean to transfer Chen Ranzhi again?" No way! If he is transferred, I am afraid that it will not be easy to arrange, and I will not feel at ease if he is placed elsewhere, so I will put him under the tent...... I'm afraid that he will pick up the cheap again and compete with my subordinates for this Bohai merit......" Yuan Shao's words were just paused, and Feng Ji immediately smiled and said: "There is no need to be so troublesome, Chen Ranzhi will let him continue to stay in Qingzhou, but Yuan Gong can send another team of men and horses to assist the eldest prince, so that the eldest prince will have two arms in his hands, and he is not afraid of relying on Chen Ran for everything." ”

Yuan Shao frowned: "Two peaches kill three soldiers!" Yuan Tu, do you mean to send another person to fight with Chen Ran? ”

Feng Ji nodded and said: "That's almost the case, as long as there is this person by the side, no matter how great his ability is, he Chen Ranzhi is only afraid that he will have a headache, where can he have the heart to make new contributions?" When Yuan Shao heard this, he stroked his beard and nodded: "This trick is not bad, but ......" Yuan Shao frowned and looked at Feng Ji, "At the beginning, my son's life was saved by Chen Ranzhi when he was in Montenegro, and my son can be said to have good trust in Chen Ranzhi, and this time I didn't ask Chen Ranzhi to assist him first, but he asked me first." Originally, this matter was in my favor, so I promised my son by pushing the boat. It's just that now it seems that my son trusts him so much, even if he sends another assistant, I'm afraid that he may not be willing to use it, and then won't he be busy in vain? ”

Feng Ji said: "What Yuan Gong said is reasonable, so this person ...... First, it must have prestige, and second, if it is given the right to decide on the spot, there is no fear that it will not be able to play a role in checks and balances. Yuan Shao thought for a while and asked, "But who is suitable?" Feng Ji said: "Now that the Bohai Battlefield is in a stalemate stage, it is really difficult for the generals here to be arbitrarily transferred at this time. As...... It's better to use Chun Yu Zhongjian, Yuan Gong, what do you think? ”

"Chun Yuqiong?" Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Speaking of this guy, it is also useful, he used to be the eighth captain of the West Garden with me, and Dong Zhuo's rebellion followed me here, and he has been serving under my account, and his prestige is enough." It's just that Zhong Jian seems to be guarding Liyang at this time, and this Liyang is the southern gateway of my Yecheng, so he can't be easily mobilized, if he leaves, who should guard him? Besides, this Chen Ranzhi once passed Liyang once, and when he came back, he scolded Zhong Jian as a 'Wuchao drunkard', if the two of them were put together, they were afraid that they would fight, which would be even more inappropriate, right? ”

Feng Ji said with a smile: "This Yuan Gong can rest assured, Chen Ranzhi is not a reckless person, not to mention, isn't what Yuan Gong wants is that this person is not in harmony with Chen Ranzhi?" If it's a peacemaker who is dispatched, that's not good. As for the transfer of Chun Yu Zhongjian, the general might as well ask Zhang He and Zhang Junyi to guard this place. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes rolled and he said: "Zhang Junyi has made some contributions these days, but I am not at ease after all, thinking that he was persuaded by Chen Ranzhi at the beginning, I can't be happy." If he were to be transferred out of Bohai at this time, it would save me a lot of trouble. Just use him to stay in Liyang for a few days, and wait until I pacify Gongsun Chan before transferring him away, and it is not impossible to replace him with a credible person, what Yuan Tu said is exactly. After a pause, he said, "After all, Chen Ranzhi is the overseer of Qingzhou, and the people below Qingzhou are nominally under his control. ”

Feng Ji smiled: "This is simple, you can set up another supervising army, supervise the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou, and you can have the right to make decisions on the spot." In this way, Chen Ran has to be subject to the prison army in everything, do you still need to be afraid of him? Yuan Shao was very satisfied when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "Qingzhou Prison Army? Qingzhou Overseer? Haha, although these two responsibilities are only one word apart, if the 'supervising army' is given the right to make decisions on the spot, he Chen Ranzhi will be like a grasshopper tied to a thread, and he will never be able to jump up again. Hahaha, interesting, just do what you said in the metamap! ”

Feng Ji smiled, stood up, and arched his hand: "No!" ”

Walking out of the tent, looking at the sky outside the tent, Feng Ji sighed lightly: "Chen Nuo, Chen Nuo, if I don't want to go with you, it's really ...... If I can't worry about Yuan Gong, then I will lose my own effect, how can I talk about anything else? Feng Ji flicked his sleeves and walked forward.

Just when Yuan Shao and Feng Ji conspired to transfer Chun Yuqiong to Qingzhou to take up his post, in the county town of Pingyuan, the guard general Shan Jing had also received a secret letter from Gongsun Zhan.

Shan Jing only glanced at it, and the whole body was stunned, and he was silent for a long time.

"General, when will the reinforcements from the Bohai side arrive?"

"Reinforcements?" Shan Jing laughed and said, "What bullshit reinforcements!" General Gongsun ordered us to withdraw from the plains and go to rendezvous with Qi Guotian. "What? Remove? Everyone was stunned and shouted, "How can this be withdrawn?" We've been trapped for more than ten days, so where is the time to evacuate now? Besides, I'll wait to go to Qi Kingdom, who will we listen to then? Should you listen to General Shan, or should you listen to the history of his Tian assassination? This is a very serious question, after hearing the sharp frown, the tiger's eyes stared left and right, and the left and right people immediately did not dare to speak.

Shan Jing and Tian Kai were both generals of Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan entrusted him with the history of the assassination of each state. The former is Yanzhou, and the latter is Qingzhou. It's just that because Qingzhou has not yet been taken, and Yanzhou has made a yellow turban at the right time, it was destroyed by Cao Cao a while ago, and Cao Cao actually controlled Yanzhou, so he could only temporarily stationed in the plain and lead the history of Yanzhou's assassination. However, because Liu Bei was stationed in the plain with the respect of the county order before, he was also transferred to Gaotang by the order of Gongsun Zan at this time, and Liu Bei was the prime minister. Come to think of it, his Yanzhou Thorn History is already very indecent to garrison in the plains, if he moves to Qi Country and is under the same roof as Qingzhou Thorn History, wouldn't it be even more nondescript? And what he is taboo in his heart is others. Thinking that if he obediently went to Qi and was suppressed by Tian Kai, then he, the assassin of Yanzhou, would be useless and become a general in the hands of others, which seemed to him to be very reluctant and taboo. And what made his heart palpitate even more was that he had been at odds with Tian Kai before, and now he went to his territory, if he took the opportunity to swallow his men, the situation would be even more unfavorable to him. Therefore, after hearing the speculation of his subordinates, his heart was also throbbing.

After thinking about it, the sweat on Shan Jing's face fell: "Do you obey Gongsun Zhan's order to go to Qi State, or do you disobey the order?" ”

If you obey the order, you may be killed, and if you don't obey the order, you will openly oppose Gongsun Zhan, and there will be no way out. In the end, how to choose, Shan Jing fell into confusion. The suspicious voices of his subordinates buzzed in his ears like wasps.

"Boom!"

After pulling out the knife alone, a knife was chopped on the wooden case, and the wooden case was almost chopped into two sections: "Don't make any noise, General Ben is determined...... Surrender Chennuo! ”

Surrendering Chen Nuo may be the best choice. Even Chen Nuo didn't expect that what he was waiting for was not Gongsun Zhan's reinforcements, but Shan Jing's surrender. The 3,000 people of the Shan Jing Institute joined Chen Nuo's account together. Of course, Chen Nuo comforted him, and at the same time wrote to Yuan Shao to see how Yuan Shao dealt with this matter. Shan Jing's defection was the biggest blow to Gongsun Zhan, and when Gongsun Chan heard the news, his body shook and he almost vomited blood. He thought about it before and after, regretted it, beat his chest and shouted: "How confused I am, how confused I am!" There may be a glimmer of hope if reinforcements are sent, but now...... Why didn't I think that letting Shan Jing fall under Tian Kai's tent would embarrassing him and force him to death? Gongsun Chan regretted it, and Yuan Shao laughed.

It was a bonus. For the surrender of the single scripture, Yuan Shaojia emphasized the approval. Because Shan Jing was a pseudo-Yanzhou assassin when he was under Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, and now Yanzhou already has a state pastor Cao Cao, so he naturally can no longer hold this position, so he took Shan Jing as the middle general, let him supervise the headquarters of the people, and continue to stay in Qingzhou with Yuan Tan to fight, so as to watch the future. Chen Nuo's side took the plain bloodlessly, but after two days of hard work, Tai Shici came to the door.

"General, there is a person outside the tent who claims to be Tai Shici's request to see!"

Chen Nuo was dealing with the case at the time, and when he heard the word Tai Shici, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Interesting, it seems that I made the right bet this time." Please! After a while, the tent door was opened, and a strong man walked in. Chen Nuo deliberately didn't look up, and waited until the man spoke. The man bowed to Chen Nuo: "The sinner is too Shi Ci, I have seen General Chen!" Chen Nuo raised his head, glanced at Tai Shici carefully, and said, "Hey, it's not right! Isn't this Kong Ci? How did you change your last name so quickly? As he spoke, he had already grown up, stretched out his hand to hold his arms up, and said with a smile, "Haha, recalling the style of strong men in the Tang Dynasty in the past, I often miss it, and I also said that I have no chance to see you again in this life." Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that in a few days, Chen would be lucky enough to see the voice of the strong man again, which is really fast! Oh, Song Zhuangshi, please! ”

Tai Shi Ci was ashamed, and said otherwise: "The sinner Tai Shi Ci's biological mother once received the grace of Kong Beihai's bequest, and now Kong Beihai is trapped in Duchang, and her biological mother can't bear to see it, so she sent someone to Duchang City to help." It's just that there are too many yellow turbans in the city, and they can't be saved without foreign aid, so they invited themselves to Gaotang to send a letter, thinking that they could ask Liu Bei, the prime minister of the plains, to help him. It's just that a certain person has just arrived, and he doesn't want to capture Gaotang because the general's crusade army has captured Gaotang, and Gaotang has changed hands, because he is anxious to find Liu Bei, and he is afraid that he will be embarrassed by the general's subordinates, so he has to pretend to be a merchant and want to get out of the city. On that day, under the Gaotang City, a certain general was encountered, and he was afraid that the general would obstruct him, so he had to conceal the facts, mutate his name, and ask the general for forgiveness! ”

When Chen Nuo heard this, he nodded: "Why didn't the strong man say it earlier?" Although I don't know Kong Beihai, he is in trouble, and I don't dare to stand by and watch, wanting to make a good fate. It's just that the strong man didn't say it, and I was helpless, so I gave up in a hurry. By the way, strong man, you have been there for so many days, you should also catch up with Liu Xuande, right? It's just that, why did the strong man come to me when he was not in Duchang? Could it be that he, Liu Xuande, can't save Duchang City? ”

Tai Shi was embarrassed and said, "The sinner caught up with that guy, but what can I do...... How...... Ay! When Tai Shici said of Liu Bei, his eyes were red and his teeth were itchy. Chen Nuo saw it and asked, "Could it be that something happened here?" Tai Shi Ci shook his head: "Don't mention this guy!" Ci came this time, firstly, in addition to making amends to General Chen, and secondly, he wanted to ask the general for a favor, and asked the general to save him from Kong Beihai's face. Ci Shi can't think of a second person! Tai Shici said, and bowed his hand to Chen Nuo again. Chen Nuo immediately grabbed his arm, and his face was embarrassed: "This, you have also seen it, strong man, I have just taken Pingyuan City now, and there are still many things to deal with, it is really ......"

Tai Shi Ci's heart moved, and he bowed again: "If the general is willing to rescue Duchang, it will be regarded as Ci owing the general a promise!" ”

Chen Nuo's heart was overjoyed, and what he was waiting for was his words: "What about this...... It's not that I deliberately want to embarrass the strong man, the strong man, you also know, I am the most loving person in my life, and I can't ask for a man like you, who is both martial and witty...... Ahem, I mean I'm really busy. Moreover, you should also know that if I send troops, I will go to the country. But Tian Kai, the defender of Qi State, is our mortal enemy, and I just took Liu Bei's city, Liu Bei went to Qi again, if I go over at this time, I am afraid that Beihai will not be reached, and I will be intercepted and killed by this group of Qi people halfway, this matter is ......"

Tai Shi Ci gritted his teeth and said: "This promise I owe can do anything for the general, and after this matter, it is okay to let a certain person stay under the general's account!" It's just that Duchang is very anxious now, general, do you think you can hand over the aftermath to other subordinates? As for the road to the North Sea...... In fact, there is not only one, the general can bypass the Qi country, and it is also possible to go to the east of Taishan. When Chen Nuo heard him say this, he pondered for a moment and said: "Speaking of which, I am really a bit suspicious of taking advantage of the fire to rob the general when I promise to the general at this time, I am afraid that the general will not like it in your heart." But the talent of a strong man, I admire it very much. In this way, I can't make the decision on this matter, I still need to discuss it with the generals under the account before making a decision, and I have to ask Yuan Tingshi to pass it. As for the 'promise' of the strong man, if it is not sincere, I will never be reluctant, but I will try my best to fight for the strong man in this matter, and please rest assured that the strong man is not assured. ”

He didn't say a word here, let Dian Wei come into the tent, and ordered: "And take this strong man to rest under the tent, prepare some food for him, and treat him well." Dian Wei responded to his promise and immediately took Tai Shici down. Tai Shi Ci's brows kept frowning, and he said in his heart: "I'm ashamed to say that I said that Chen Nuo asked me to 'promise' at this time, and it was really a bit of a robbery while the fire was burning." But he made it clear that I misunderstood him. It's also that I thought too simply, thinking that Chen Nuo was just an overseer under Yuan Tan's account, and his mission here was to help Yuan Tan take the plains, and nothing else. Now that he's just here, and he's surrounded by enemies, how can he get out so easily? And I also made the idea to let him go to the line of Mount Tai, where the mountain roads are vertical and horizontal, and it is easy to hide bandits, wouldn't I trap him to death if I did this? Is it the duty of a great husband? ”

When Tai Shi Ci thought of this, his feet were suffocated, and he wanted to go back. But he thought about it, now that the situation in Duchang is not good, he can't ask Liu Bei, so he can only turn to him, if he leaves, who can trust? Only he thought that Chen Nuo was in an embarrassing situation because of this incident, and he was very unhappy in his heart. Dian Wei, who was leading the way in front, saw that Tai Shici suddenly stopped leaving, so he sighed lightly, turned around, and asked him, "Hey, why don't you leave?" Tai Shi Ci was stunned for a moment, then smiled and followed Dian Wei's steps.

Dian Wei remembered something on the road, looked at no one on the left and right, and said: "I thought you weren't coming, how about it, do you want to play with me again after eating?" Last time, under the East Gate of Gaotang, although we compared twice, we haven't decided the winner yet. Tai Shi Ci smiled, where did he have the heart to compete with Dian Wei again at this time? Didn't say much. It's just that he thought that it was really hard to come all the way, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

He was chased and killed by Liu Bei's Twelve Shadow Guards when he was in the dense forest that day, although he killed all the twelve Shadow Guards at that time, he also paid the price for it and suffered many wounds on his body. Although he said that he had walked out of the dense forest at that time, he had just reached a small town when he fainted due to excessive bleeding. By the time he woke up, it was already a day's errand. He found someone to bandage his wound in the town a little, and then continued to rush to Gaotang, wanting to come to see Chen Nuo. Only he was a step late, it turned out that Chen Nuo had already sent troops to attack the plains before this. The plains were not far from here, and he thought that he would be able to reach them in a few days. I don't want to, because he killed someone Lu when he was in the dense forest, and the person went back to report it to Liu Bei, Liu Bei was furious, afraid that the matter would leak out, and immediately sent the shadow guard to chase and kill. And Tai Shici, after being chased by these shadow guards, although he repelled them for a while, but he also recuperated from his injuries for a few days, and after the injuries were healed, he was able to rush to Pingyuan. It's just that he didn't expect that this Chen Nuo would take Pingyuan City bloodlessly in a few days, and he was determined, and he knew that he didn't run in vain this time, but found the right person.

Dian Wei invited Tai Shi Ci into the account and asked people to arrange meals for Tai Shi Ci. Tai Shici also rushed here, rarely ate all the way, and was also very hungry at this time, so he took the dishes and chopsticks and started to move. Dian Wei smiled beside him, rolled his eyes, and suddenly asked, "You might be drinking?" When Tai Shici heard this, his eyes glowed green, and he said, "Wine is just a common thing, where can't you drink it?" Dian Wei smiled: "It's good to drink, can I drink two cups with you?" Tai Shi Ci was about to nod, but suddenly thought that it was better to keep a clear head at this time, shook his head, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I am only afraid of inconvenience when drinking at this time." ”

Dian Wei smiled: "It's okay! You don't want a strong man to call me, my name is Dian Wei, and people call the evil of the ancients. Of course, this title was given by the general. Hehe, I don't know what to call a strong man? Oh, by the way, it seems that you left your name last time, what is it? Tai Shi Ci said: "That doesn't count, the contemptible Donglai Tai Shi Ci, the grass word is righteous." Dian Wei read it twice and said with a smile: "Donglai Tai Shi Ci, the word is meaningful? Haha, Wei remembers, Wei will call you Ziyi in the future. By the way, such as Brother Ziyi, you are so capable, I don't know who works under the account? Tai Shici said: "It's a shame to say that a certain time ago, he played Cao Shi for the county, because he destroyed the state documents, he had to take refuge in Liaodong, and now he came back not long ago, so he has nowhere to go." ”

"That's great!"

Dian Wei had just finished saying this, and when he saw Tai Shici's stunned expression, he hurriedly changed his words: "This...... Wei means to say, that's too bad, you actually offended the people in the state, I'm afraid that you will suffer a lot Ziyi, right? By the way, look at Ziyi, you have a double whip, a spear, and a bow and arrow in your waist, I don't know if you are skilled in these Ziyi? Of course, the spear and the double whip Wei have seen it, I don't know how Ziyi is with your archery skills? Tai Shi Ci smiled: "I also think that my body is a burden, but this is a life-saving guy, and I have to take it with me, as for this archery...... It's just a little bit of a fur savvy. ”

Seeing Tai Shi Ci's smiling face, in fact, Dian Wei had already guessed that he was modest. Only he didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "That, don't blame Wei Duozui, Ziyi, you are indeed indispensable to save your life, but in today's troubled times, the male husband should make immortal achievements, if he learns a martial art just to protect his own body, wouldn't it be a pity?" It's like me, although I'm not good at it, but I also managed to mix a small military guard under General Chen's account to take charge of the personal guards. Hehe, a person like a general who loves talent can promote a reckless person like Wei, such as Ziyi, if you are invested in the general's account, the general will not treat Ziyi badly. ”

"Ugh!"

Tai Shici wiped his sweat, hurriedly lowered his head to eat, and said secretly in his heart: "Why does this guy have the same face as Chen Nuo, and as soon as he came up, he persuaded me to join his account, and the two of them seemed to be who brought it to whom, and there was air in the same nostril." However, I can also see that Chen Nuo really wants me to enter his account, and this ruler, what he said is also reasonable. The man's husband is in the world, he should make a name for himself and do a career, it is a pity to think that my martial arts are enough to protect one person, if I can establish immortal merits, it is not a way out. What's more, this Chen Nuo can be anxious about what people are anxious about, and he is still a person who keeps his promises, but he is also a member of my generation, if he can protect him, it will not be difficult to succeed! ”

Tai Shi Ci made such an idea in his heart, but he thought that he had not returned home for many years because of offending the state, and now that he had returned home, his mother was getting old, and he really couldn't easily rest assured that she would be at home alone, which was difficult again. However, now, in order to be able to invite Chen Nuo, a rescuer, to repay Kong Rong for his kindness to his mother over the years, he easily promised Chen Promise a 'promise', which ...... If Chen Nuo finally meant that he wanted him to join his army, of course he couldn't break his word, but at that time, where would he leave his mother? Tai Shi Ci frowned slightly, not daring to think about it anymore. He hid a lot of things in his heart, so naturally he didn't have the taste to eat anymore, so he took two bites and ended in a hurry.

Tai Shici stood up and asked Dian Wei, "Can I just walk around outside the tent?" Dian Wei smiled: "Anyway, there is nothing to do, let Wei accompany Ziyi for a walk." "It's fine!" Tai Shi Ci thanked him, and turned to walk out of the tent. Dian Wei was behind him and said: "Actually, our general is indeed a person who loves talents, he is willing to accept recklessness like Wei, not to mention talents like Ziyi, if Ziyi can enter the general's account, the future will be immeasurable." ”

Tai Shi Ci frowned, he didn't expect Dian Wei to have such a persevering spirit, he didn't persuade once, and he came again the second time. When he heard this, his heart moved, and he asked, "By the way, General Dian, can you tell me how you got into General Chen's account?" Dian Wei immediately nodded and told Tai Shici everything that happened to him in Liyang. Hearing that Chen Nuo arrested Dian Wei in Liyang, and because of Dian Wei's words, he immediately let Dian Wei go back, Tai Shici felt incredible, and at the same time, he admired Chen Nuo's frank state of mind, and sighed: "I think that if it weren't for a person of faith like General Dian, I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can keep this promise, and they can go back after being released by General Chen." However, General Dian, you keep your promise, he General Chen is also a frank person, he can't be compared with a broad mind, after hearing this, he admires General Dian's deeds with General Chen very much! ”

Tai Shici's heart was relieved, and he said secretly: "In this way, Chen Nuoai is not talking about it, but he can open his mind." If this person can have such a mind, he can achieve great things! If I can put myself under his account, it will also be my creation. Tai Shi Ci thought so, and suddenly heard the neighing sound of horses in his ears, and he looked up and saw that dozens of feet away, there was a horse with a person running towards the gate, and he was about to rush out.

"Stop him, he's a spy!"

"The thief is gone!"

Dian Wei stepped forward and wanted to make a move, only to find that the double halberd he was carrying was not on his body and could not be thrown. He was in a hurry, afraid that the spies would run away, so he had to chase after him on foot. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of wind in his ears, and before he could react, the horse that was running dozens of feet away was suddenly shot in the neck by an arrow, and fell to the ground with a scream. The spy got off his horse and fainted, and Dian Wei immediately let people take it down. At this time, he turned his head and looked at Tai Shici again, knowing that the arrow just now was shot by him, so he didn't admire it in his heart, and said again and again: "Ziyi is too modest." Such an arrow method of piercing the poplar in a hundred steps, how can it be done by fur? ”

Tai Shi Ci withdrew his bow and arrow and smiled.
