Volume 2: Sili Lieutenant Department Chapter 13: Farewell to the Wild King

Chen Nuo helped Zhang Yang repel the invading Bai Bo army, rested in Yewang for a day, and resigned to Zhang Yang and the others the next day.

Just before, the assassin who was sent out to inquire about the news had also sent back new news, Liu Ying, Zhao Xue and his party crossed the river from Maojin and arrived at the Hongnong land boundary, which is getting closer and closer to Chang'an. On Chen Nuo's side, since the goal of befriending Zhang Yang has been achieved, he will not delay and set off quickly.

Before leaving, Zhang Yang expressed his gratitude, and walked out of Yewang City with Chen Nuo in his hand, and the people in the city were all sent along the way, and they were afraid that they would not be able to reach it. It's no wonder that the people are reckless, they already have a preconceived sense of mystery about Chen Nuo before Chen Nuo entered the wild king, and at this moment they have heard that this white wave thief invasion is thanks to Chen Nuo's help, and Zhang Yang is united to repel the thieves, otherwise the wild king city has already been broken by the thieves, and the old and weak women and children in the city are only afraid that they will die because of this, Chen Nuo's move is like their reborn parents, and they are also very well understood by their reverence and gratitude to Chen Nuo.

Seeing that all the way to the south city gate, the farthest people along the road have also walked several miles, but the enthusiasm of the people is still undiminished, and the interest is high, for a while the south city gate is as lively as the east market, the crowd is crowded.

Chen Nuo looked at these people, and his heart was also agitated, he didn't expect him to be so loved by the people of the wild king, even if he died in battle? Chen Nuo secretly wiped his eyes, but fortunately he could still control himself and didn't let the tears flow.

However, he also wondered in his heart, since he parted with the old man, did he feel that he had begun to be 'sentimental'? Before going to sleep last night, the old man's sentence 'Little friend, you and I will say goodbye today' echoed in my ears from time to time. This faint 'don't do it', as if they hadn't seen each other for a few months. Thinking that the old man could still see so indifferently in the face of death, Chen Nuozhi thought about it again and again, but he couldn't bear to read it. Midnight dreamed back, and finally understood that this 'farewell' is the real never to meet again, no matter how many thousand years in the world, no matter how reincarnated in the sea and rebirth, there will be no such person again, and I can't help but cry.

This sentence is easy to say, but how many people can really see through it?

Of course, while he is 'sentimental', he also deeply understands that in this troubled autumn, human life is like a mustard, if you are not strong, the gods will not be able to protect you! As for 'sentimentality', it is really not what Chen Nuo, who has the spirit of a king, should have.

Chen Nuo smiled and said to Zhang Yang: "General Zhang sent the contemptible people here, the contemptible people are grateful, it is better for the general to ask the people not to follow anymore, and I will say goodbye to you and me, general." ”

Chen Nuo did Zhang Yang a big favor yesterday, Zhang Yang also asked Chen Nuo and his 3,000 men and horses to enter the city at that time, but Chen Nuo deeply understood the taboo in this, even if Zhang Yang was simple-minded, but he didn't guarantee that his subordinates were also thinking with him, so he refused with a smile. Therefore, after the war, they still followed the original 'rules', Chen Nuo only brought a dozen people from Dian Wei into the city, and the rest of them were taken back to the original camping place to rest.

It's just that although Zhang Yang didn't say that Chen Nuo would bring people into the city this time, after all, Yewang City was able to be as safe as a rock, and Chen Nuo contributed a lot. Since he was unwilling to bring men and horses into the city, he had no choice but to let him, but the reward of cattle and amniotic water and wine was indispensable, and he also gave Chen Nuo 3,000 men and horses a month's grain and grass, which was regarded as a reward for Chen Nuo.

The issue of grain and grass is, of course, a big issue that an army has to consider. The so-called fact that the three armed forces have not moved grain and grass before moving them cannot be ignored. Moreover, Chen Nuo is traveling to the west this time, although he has Yuan Shao's consent, so he is not afraid that Yuan Shao will not guarantee the supply of grain and grass in the future, but of course, this problem is not as simple as it seems, and he still can't be too optimistic.

Who Yuan Shao is, Chen Nuo knows, Yuan Shao can let him go west, it is because he is forced by the current situation, and he can't wait for Chen Nuo to leave. But if Chen Nuo has a firm foothold in Wanluo and is out of his control, then Yuan Shao will also be afraid of Chen Nuo, in order to contain Chen Nuo, it must be a small move on the grain and grass. As long as Yuan Shao cut off the food and grass of Chen Nuo's 3,000 army for a day, although it will not disband Chen Nuo's 3,000 army, it will be a big threat, and people's hearts will inevitably be unstable.

You must know that when Lu Bu and Cao Cao fought in Yanzhou, there were tens of thousands of men and horses on both sides, but because of the ravages of locusts that year, resulting in no harvest, tens of thousands of horses on both sides were scattered on the spot in an instant, and until there was help from grain and grass, those soldiers who fled returned to the queue. It can be seen that the importance of grain and grass to an army is equivalent to the lifeblood of the army, and it cannot be easily pinched.

Although Chen Nuo deeply understands this truth and has the heart to change this situation, for now, he is helpless for a while. Although he is also the Taishou of the Bohai Sea, it is only a 'remote leader', and there is no land and no grain to produce. And in order to feed these 3,000 soldiers, of course, we can't help but temporarily look up to Yuan Shaozhi's snort, but it is also a helpless reality.

This is just like the situation when Yuan Shao coveted Jizhou. At that time, Yuan Shao sent people to force Jizhou, and Han Fu still struggled for a long time on whether to let out Jizhou, and at that time, a far-sighted strategist suggested to Han Fu that Han Fu should not let go of Jizhou, why? Jizhou is rich in grain and grass, and although Yuan Shao has people and horses, but his supply of grain and grass still depends on Jizhou, if the supply of grain and grass is cut off, it is like a baby like breast milk, without its milk, the baby is difficult to live again, it can be killed immediately. It's a pity that Han Fuyong failed to understand this, so Jizhou will eventually be crushed by the last 'straw' that Chen Nuo put on it, which is actually fate.

Since Chen Nuo deeply understands this truth, of course he will not let this kind of low-level and fatal mistake happen to him, so before leaving, he also has a certain arrangement. He first asked Guo Jia for advice on the strategy of going to Wanluo, and then visited Yuan Tan. Although Yuan Tan was unhappy for a while because his third brother Yuan Shang took away the favor of his father Yuan Shao, after all, everyone has the heart to protect the calf, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Shao still have to accommodate in some aspects.

Chen Nuo was looking for him at that time, and he was begging Yuan Tan to be sure to supervise at all times to ensure the supply of grain and grass for his 3,000 men and horses. And Yuan Tan, his life was saved by Chen Nuo on the Black Mountain, and he was somewhat dependent on Chen Nuo, and wanted Chen Nuo to help him gain a foothold in Qingzhou in the future, so he must agree to Chen Nuo's small request. This promise alone is not enough, Chen Nuo asked him again, if General Yuan wants to cut off his grain and grass, what should you do, Yuan Tan is willing to use the grain and grass in his army as a help, and will never cut off Chen Nuo's grain and grass, please rest assured Chen Nuo, Chen Nuo said goodbye to Yuan Tan and set off from Yecheng.

However, Chen Nuo was not very relieved about the promise Yuan Tan gave him. He wasn't worried about Yuan Tan's words, he was worried that he would not be Yuan Shao after all, if Yuan Shao was really jealous of him, he wouldn't give him food, but he was afraid that it would be too late to cry when the time came, so he had to prepare for second-hand. It just so happened that at this time, since Zhang Yang was willing to give him three thousand troops for one month's grain for nothing, how could there be any reason not to accept it?

Chen Nuo came all the way out of the city, of course, he was not blind, for the people who followed him, and their every move, he was all in his eyes. They came all the way, each of them carried on their shoulders or on their backs, three catties and five catties of grain in their hands, radishes and cabbage in their armpits, and the richer ones even pulled live sheep and geese and ducks in their arms. They were sent out all the way out like this, and when they arrived at the South City Gate, they gathered at the South City Gate, the chickens and ducks crowed, and the crowd of people really seemed to have moved over the lively East Market.

Of course, Chen Nuo knew very well that the things they brought were naturally ready to be given to him. Before Chen Nuo's permission, some people had even begun to pile up on the hands of these guards. If it weren't for the strict discipline, these pro-guards would have been buried by the enthusiasm of the people at this moment.

However, Chen Nuo deeply understood that he could take Zhang Yang's things, but he couldn't ask for the people's things. This is not only a matter of ethics, but also a matter of the relationship between the host and the guest. Chen Nuo entered Yewang City, and being able to get the love of almost all the people in Yewang City already made Zhang Yang's subordinates red-eyed, and if he accepted these people's things again, it would inevitably cause disgust among Zhang Yang's subordinates. It is a taboo in the world to be anti-guest-oriented, let alone at this keen moment.

And Zhang Yang, although he is a good man, he will not be jealous of Chen Nuo because of this, but if he wants to have a good relationship with his subordinates, sometimes he has to obey. If Zhang Yang is forced to turn against him Chen Nuo from now on because of this incident, it will be because of the small harm and the big will definitely have a profound impact on his future plans. As for Chen Nuo, he will definitely not easily erase the little trust he won from Zhang Yang yesterday because of this little negligence.

Therefore, after knowing this, Chen Nuo immediately deliberately reminded Zhang Yang to let the people go back and let him send it here.

At this time, he had also noticed that due to the excessive behavior of the people, there was the same situation as when he first entered Yewang City, which caused Zhang Yang's subordinates to become nervous. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Nuo had helped them repel the Bai Bo Army yesterday, he would still be grateful to Chen Nuo and the others in his heart, but I was afraid that his face would be ugly at the moment. Although Zhang Yang's subordinates this time did not blatantly obstruct the people as blatantly as last time, some soldiers had already clashed with the people and blocked the people's sight. Under the south city gate, people rushed for a while.

That Zhang Yang didn't seem to understand yet, and wanted the people to follow him and send him out of the South City Gate, but of course Chen Nuo could only flatly refuse in order to meet him in the future. As long as Zhang Yang no longer leaves the city, those people naturally can't come out with him, so he will invisibly refuse the kindness of the people.

A few miles outside the South City Gate, Zhu Ling, Pan Zhang and others had already gathered 3,000 people here, waiting for Chen Nuo and the others to leave together.

"General Zhang take care, generals, take care!"

Chen Nuo arched his hand and flew on the horse. Zhang Yang took two steps forward, and it was too late to catch up, so he hurriedly said to Chen Nuo with his subordinates to take care. Pity those people who still want to come out and hand over the things to Chen Nuo's subordinates, but the road is blocked, and Chen Nuo and the others have already hit the road one after another.
