Chapter 18: The head of the city changes the king's flag
Zhao Fu was taken down, and Chen Nuo was still at the table.
He grabbed the cup, took a big sip with his head up, and swept his eyes to Gao Guan.
Gao Ran also looked at Chen Nuo with interest, and did not speak immediately.
Chen Nuo put down the lamp, closed his eyes and said: "Don't ask anything, I promised General Zhang He that I must persuade General Zhao to send troops for him, since the will of heaven is like this, I have nothing to say!" ”
Gao Ran suddenly raised his head and smiled, and waved his hand to let all the warriors go down: "Little brother, are you interested in having a drink?" ”
Chen Nuo didn't answer yes or no, he grabbed the wine cup next to him and drank it to himself.
Gao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, admiring Chen Nuo's boldness. He also grabbed the cup and drank it himself.
Chen Nuo wiped the wine stains under his chin and sighed: "I think General Gao must have a lot of bitter water to pour on me, right?" In fact, General Gao doesn't say that I understand, you have made it very clear before, the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, you did the right thing! ”
Gao Ran was stunned again, then sighed, and didn't say anything.
The two drank their own wine and exchanged words silently.
Chen Nuo understands that Gao Ran is not a treacherous person, and what he is doing today, maybe even he is still torturing himself, should it be right? But at the same time, he knew that he had to do it, and perhaps only in this way could he forgive himself for being suppressed all the time.
They may more or less complain that they didn't get the position they deserved in Han Fu's hands and failed to realize their ambitions, so they hate, right?
He remembered what Zhang He had said to him before parting, the so-called 'whether it is successful or not, it seems that it can only depend on the will of God', and what 'you and I do our best', in fact, Zhang He may already know very well in his heart that Han Envoy Jun's incompetence and Jizhou's inability are already doomed, but he has never been willing to believe it.
All his words, although they were to comfort Chen Nuo and relieve Chen Nuo's pressure. In fact, in a sense, he is just finding some kind of basis, some kind of excuse, and some kind of excuse for Gao Ran's actions today. Maybe even he felt lost, why did he do it? And he, although he denied the relationship with Gao Ran, in fact, he didn't mean to blame him.
"Will he understand what I have done today?"
Chen Nuo smiled noncommittally at him and said another topic: "Everyone is their own master, so please General Gao treat General Zhao Fu well." ”
Gao Ran nodded, and agreed.
Chen Nuo put down the wine cup and said, "You and I are almost drunk, let's disperse." I just don't know, General Gao, what are you going to do with me? ”
Gao Ran said with a smile: "Brother Chen, please rest assured, Gong Yuan specially explained, let me entertain you, Brother Chen." ”
"Yuan Gong?"
Chen Nuo's mind was fuzzy and he didn't come up with it for a while.
Gao Ran smiled and reminded him: "General Yuan Shaoyuan." ”
"Yuan Shao? Yuan Shao? ”
Chen Nuo's head flashed countless broken fragments in an instant, which he sorted out in an instant. It was a gesture, a word, a look. One word? What words? Say what?
Be...... Be......
Chen Nuo was entangled, his head was swollen, and he was drunk.
Gao Ran saw Chen Nuo lying down, he put the lamp down and asked people to carry him down to rest.
At this time, the soldiers outside the tent reported to him that the Heyang Shui army was under their control, and the city of Heyang had fallen into their hands.
Gao Ran stood up and gave the order to go down, and let the soldiers open the camp and enter the city.
Overnight, the flag at the head of Heyang City was changed, and the surname Han was changed to the surname Yuan.
Although Heyang City is controlled by the combined forces of Gao Ran and Yu Poison, there are still some forces that refuse to belong and engage in street battles with Gao Lan's men and horses. After another day of fighting, the city was covered with blood and deaths.
But Gao Ran would not have thought that at this moment, another group of people suddenly came to Heyang City.
Cheng Huan, he and Zhao Fu belong to Han Fu's subordinates. As soon as he came to the city, he set up a team of thousands of people and immediately asked to see Zhao Fu.
In this case, Gao Ran had to release Zhao Fu and invite him back to the house.
Gao Ran opened his mouth and said: "General Cheng Huan and General Zhao have always been stationed in Heyang, why did General Cheng take his men out alone this time, no wonder I haven't seen him in the navy." ”
When Zhao Fu heard this, he laughed: "It seems that General Cheng is back, God really helps me!" General Gao, you may not know, as early as a few days ago, I discussed with him, didn't he Yuan Shao collude with the Huns, then I can also go and ask the Bai Bo army to come to help. So I divided his troops and asked him to go to the White Polish Army for help. Haha, I didn't expect him to come back so soon, and it was just in time! ”
Gao Ran nodded and said, "Yes!" It's a pity that he came back one step earlier, and if it were delayed for two more days, I would be able to completely control Heyang. ”
Zhao Fu smiled: "General Gao, it's too late for you to regret it now, I can not blame the past, as long as you promise to hand over the poisonous thief!" ”
Gao Ran shook his head: "Who said I regretted it?" I'm just worried that General Cheng Huan will repeat the old path of General Zhao, so I'm here to let General Zhao personally come forward to say that General Cheng will move, as long as he is willing to surrender, I can still protect the wealth of the two generals to Yuan Gong. ”
Zhao Fu raised his eyebrows, sneered, and brushed his sleeves: "Joke, big joke!" ”
Gao Ran looked at Zhao Fu's back and knew that he was iron-hearted, so it mattered.
Gao Ran stood up and was about to go out, when someone outside the door reported that Chen Nuo asked to see him.
Gao Ran frowned, and let people come up to see each other.
As soon as Chen Nuo saw Gao Lan, he smiled and said, "I heard that another group of people and horses came from outside the city, or Han Envoyjun's subordinates, General Gao, are you having a headache about this matter?" ”
Gao Ran looked at Chen Nuo, did not hide the slightest, and nodded silently. But seeing that Chen Nuo looked confident, he couldn't help but ask him: "Is there any way for you to teach me to retreat from the enemy, Brother Chen?" ”
Chen Nuo shook his head, but he immediately said, "I don't, but I have a friend." ”
"Your friend?" Gao Ran looked at him, "Does he have a way?" ”
Chen Nuo smiled: "He's outside." ”
"I see."
Gao Ran nodded, and asked his friend to come in.
His friend was dressed in black, wrapped in a white turban, and his face was covered with stubble, not tall, but very stout.
As soon as he came in, he kept his head down and did not speak.
Chen Nuo smiled slightly: "General Gao, don't be surprised, this friend of mine is timid, so he ......"
Gao Ran laughed, waved his hand, and motioned for his subordinates to retreat.
His subordinates saw that if they all went down, then General Gao would be the only one left in the field to face Chen Nuo and the three of them alone, they didn't dare to be careless, and they were still hesitating.
Gao Ran naturally knew their concerns, but after a little assessment of the other party's catties, he still had full confidence in himself.
Chen Nuo and Zhao Fu, one of these two people is a civil official, and the other is an errand boy, both of them look weak and can't help it, so there is nothing to worry about. The only man left who doesn't know where to come from, although he looks fierce, he may not have any ability.
Besides, there are all his forces around here, and even if Chen Nuo and the others want to play any tricks, they don't dare to mess around.
After Gao Ran weighed it in his heart, he didn't take Chen Nuo and them even more seriously.
Of course, Chen Nuo also saw the other party's concerns, but he smiled and sneered: "Although this place used to be General Zhao's mansion, but now it is controlled by your General Gao, everyone won't think that I will do anything stupid here, right?" ”
Gao Lan's subordinates on the left and right heard Chen Nuo say this, but they were reasonable, and when they saw their general Gao Ran waving his hand disdainfully to signal them to retreat, they couldn't say anything anymore and retired one after another.
Gao Ran looked at the man in black, frowned slightly, and asked Chen Nuo: "Everyone has gone down, why don't your friends speak?" ”
Chen Nuo took two steps forward and said, "Actually, I want to say a few words to General Gao, which has nothing to do with him." ”
Gao Ran was stunned, not understanding what Chen Nuo was trying to do. But Zhao Fu simply carried them from beginning to end, without saying a word.
Chen Nuo said calmly: "General Gao, you and I both know very well in our hearts that if you want to completely control this Heyang City, it is absolutely impossible to work for a few days. It's a pity that God didn't give General Gao this opportunity, less than a day after you entered the city, there were rescue soldiers from Heyang outside.
General Gao, think about it, now that the interior is not stable and there is a strong enemy outside, in this case, do you think you can hold on? I heard that as soon as General Cheng Huan's men arrived in the city, there were many soldiers defending the city, and General Zhao's forces in the city had begun to counterattack. ”
Gao Ran snorted, and pressed the saber in his hand: "It turns out that you are not giving me advice, but you are here to be a lobbyist for Cheng Huan!" ”
Chen Nuo shook his head: "Don't say that I haven't been able to meet General Cheng until now, even if I do, I still say the same thing, I think about you for the general, and now you have no other way but to obediently withdraw from Heyang City." ”
Gao Ran's eyes gathered, he glanced up and down on Chen Nuo, and suddenly laughed loudly: "You are so confident, it seems that you have already thought about the way to advance and retreat?" ”
Chen Nuo still persuaded: "General Gao, don't be obsessed anymore, there is only one way in front of you." I can also tell you another piece of news, your good ally Yu Poison, who has quietly withdrawn out of the city with his men. ”
"Yu Yu ran away?"
Not only Zhao Fu, but even Gao Ran couldn't help but raise his voice and let out such a question mark. Zhao Fu was mixed, and Gao Ran was outright angry.
The muscles on his face were trembling, and his nose snorted: "The shaft is not enough to conspiracy, it's okay if he runs away!" ”
Turning his eyes to look at Chen Nuo and the other two people in the field, he suddenly raised his head and smiled again: "I know, you dare to talk to me like this, is it because there are many people?" You are really surprised, you do what ordinary people thought was impossible. Brother Chen, I've always underestimated you! It's no wonder that General Zhang He, even Yuan Gong will be impressed by you! ”
He shook his body, pointed at the man in black, and shouted, "You, raise your head!" ”
The man in black didn't move, he kept his head down.
Gao Ran glared at Chen Nuo: "You let him raise his head!" ”
Chen Nuo asked embarrassedly: "Do you have to use a knife and a gun to talk to the general?" ”
Seeing that he was still like that, Chen Nuo had no choice but to sigh, "In that case, Han Meng, you raise your head and let General Gao see it clearly!" ”
The man in black did not hesitate at all, and immediately raised his head when he heard Chen Nuo's order.
His gaze rose, like a fierce god, and once he met Gao Ran's gaze, he would not let it go.
Although Gao Ran thought that he had been born and died countless times on the battlefield, and he had already put life and death aside, but under the severe blow of this gaze, he couldn't help but take two steps back, and his chest jumped violently.
Chen Nuo shouted: "Han Meng, what are you still doing in a daze!" ”
Han Meng suddenly stretched out his arms, raised his two fists, shouted, and strode straight towards Gao Lan. He was no more than a foot away from Gao Ran, and he rushed to it without blinking an eye. Gao Ran was surprised, his hand touched the hilt of the knife, and he also reacted quickly, drawing the knife in an emergency and slashing it out.
Han Meng jumped away, and actually ran to the side to move a wooden case, and drank loudly, raised it, and smashed it towards Gao Lan.
With a pop, the wooden case shattered, and Gao Ran's face turned pale.
Han Meng missed, and he didn't care about the knife in Gao Lan's hand, and swung his fist wildly. Facing Han Meng, who had no rules to speak of, the knife in Gao Lan's hand was approached by him, and he couldn't use it. Gao Ran also wanted to take two steps back to make room for the weapon in his hand to wield. Where did you think that this Han Meng was simply an appendage and couldn't get rid of it.
Only the whirring fist wind was heard in his ears, and beads of sweat rolled down Gao Ran's face. That Han Meng punched down, not once hit Gao Ran, he was also in a hurry, I saw him shout, rolled to the side, and stood up in an instant, holding a wooden pillar in the middle of the hall and shaking desperately.
Gao Ran was sweating on his hands, and suddenly saw Han Meng behaving like this, and wondered in his heart, what is this stunned kid doing?
When Chen Nuo next to him saw it, he almost lost his breath, it seems that this kid has made a mistake. If he shakes it twice, maybe he will really let this kid pull out the pillar. It doesn't matter if anything else, but I'm afraid that as soon as the pillar falls, the house will lose its support and collapse, so don't you bury all the people in the house?
He hurriedly grabbed a wooden case next to him and threw it over: "Han Meng, go on!" ”
Han Meng gave up the pillar, turned around, rushed forward, and actually took the wooden case with one hand, let out a loud shout, and lifted the wooden case and smashed it on Gao Ran's head. If Gao Ran hadn't raised the knife in his hand to block it, I was afraid that his head would have been smashed into powder at this moment.
But Rao is like this, he stabbed the wooden case with a knife in his hand, and he didn't have time to regain it, he was already pulled vigorously by the other party, and his body leaned forward. Seeing that he was about to fall with his body, he immediately abandoned the knife and jumped backwards at the same time.
But he was not as fast as Han Meng this time, Han Meng saw that the wooden case was broken, he immediately threw the thing, and then aimed at Gao Lan, this time using his entire body as a weapon, and pressed it directly.
It is conceivable that if Gao Ran was pressed under such a behemoth, it might be inevitable that the tendon would be broken.
But Gao Ran finally struggled to the side at the last moment when he pressed down, and he escaped.
Han fell to the ground with a snort, but he quickly grabbed the target, stretched out his hand, and clamped the opponent's thigh. Gao Ran's foothold was not stable, and his lower body was pulled like this, and he was immediately scared into a cold sweat. Gao Ran wanted to hit him with his palm, but Han Meng jumped up and hugged his thigh. When Gao Ran was struggling, Han Meng shouted again, supported Gao Ran's thigh with one hand, grabbed Gao Ran's stomach with one hand, and lifted him up flatly.
Poor Han general, he was lifted up so easily by Han Meng, and it was in vain to struggle if he wanted to.
Gao Ran's face turned red instantly, and it seemed that he had lost face this time.
Chen Nuo didn't want Gao Ran to commit suicide in shame because of this incident, so he hurriedly shouted: "General Gao is my guest, Han Mengxiu is going to hurt him!" ”
Han Meng sighed, very obedient, and immediately let go of his hands and stepped back. Poor Gao Ran was dizzy for a while just now, and now he was thrown to the ground again, his eyes were full of stars, and his face was red with shame. He was helped up by Chen Nuo, and quickly grabbed the saber left on the ground, and was about to wipe his neck.
Chen Nuo snatched it and said: "General Gao, don't be like this, he just has a brute force, and he is a little heavier, in fact, he has no malice at all, let alone the intention of teasing you, General." ”
Gao Ran threw the knife on the ground, closed his eyes, and said, "Okay, if you want to kill, kill it, I'll let you dispose of it!" ”
Chen Nuo hurriedly picked up the knife, handed it back to him, and said: "Where is the general, if it is really a fight, as long as the general gives an order, once the general's subordinates outside rush in, I will already die under the knife." If the general doesn't do this, it's just that the general disdains it. ”
Gao ran snorted: "You're right, I don't ask others to help, that's because I'm conceited that one person is enough to deal with you." Hmph, since I planted it, then I am willing to admit defeat. ”
Chen Nuo patted his clothes and said with a smile: "General, I still say the same thing, hurry up and let your men and horses withdraw from Heyang, this is no longer something you can control." ”
Gao Ran frowned, and did not immediately express his opinion this time.
On the contrary, Zhao Fu, who had been standing behind Chen Nuo, saw that the situation was in his favor, so he was unwilling to be lonely, stepped forward, and suddenly said: "Chen Nuo, who is in charge here?" Who are the generals? Who told you to promise something to a traitor? ”
Chen Nuo was slightly stunned, but in the face of Zhao Fu's aggressive momentum, he had no choice but to stand up and arch his hand and said, "Of course, the general is respected here." ”
Zhao Fu snorted and asked, "Chen Nuo, your means are not small, how did you find out Han Meng?" ”
He was not in a hurry for Chen Nuo to answer for a while, but gave a direct order to Han Meng: "Han Meng, I usually only know that you are stunned in the army, but I didn't expect you to be able to do things at a critical time, I will definitely reward you after this incident, you will arrest this person for me now!" ”
When Han Meng heard Zhao Fu's order, he raised his head violently, without saying a word, stretched out his hand and grabbed it on Gao Lan's shoulder.
Chen Nuo still wanted to stop it, but Zhao Fu glanced at him, and asked him, "What do you want to do?" ”
