In the folk saying, Hebei has four courts and one pillar.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Ran are the four courts, and Han Meng is a pillar. are all the pillars of Hebei, and the right-hand men under Yuan Shao.

Speaking of the encounter with Han Meng, it has to start from that night.

Chen Nuo was drunk in Gao Ran's camp that night, and Gao Ran ordered someone to help him down to rest. When Yu Poison in the city sent people to report that he had taken Heyang City, Gao Ran ordered the whole army to march into the city, and Chen Nuo was also brought into the city.

Since Gao Ran said that he wanted to entertain Chen Nuo, he also arranged a place for him to live, but he didn't bother much. When he woke up the next day, although there were still many places in the city in chaos, Chen Nuo didn't care, he wanted to feel the feeling on the street, hoping to evoke some of his deep memories from these familiar scenes.

On the long street, a group of soldiers chased a horse and a strong man.

The horses were running in front of them. The strong man tugged at the horse's tail and held on. Seeing that the horse ran out of the way, the horse's strength was a little weak, and the strong man found the opportunity, and hit the horse's crotch with a fist, and the horse neighed angrily, dragged back and ran forward. And the strong man took advantage of this moment, pulled up the horse's tail, swung his body from back to front, and actually pressed firmly on the horse's back.

The horse was angry and wanted to throw him down, but the more it struggled, the more fierce the man became.

Although the soldiers rushed up, some raised their spears and shook them under the strong man's crotch, trying to scare him, but the strong man didn't pay attention to it at all. He glared at him and roared in a deep voice.

The roar was like rolling thunder, one after another, and it kept drilling into the horse's ears. From the initial rage, the horse slowly became tame, and I don't know whether it was fear or discouragement, and the horse gradually stopped resisting.

At this moment, the strong man changed from a standing position to a sitting position, and his hips were pressed on the horse's back, like Mount Tai pressing the top, and the horse's four legs were already trembling. Unable to support it for a while, the horse actually neighed, bent its four legs together, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The man and the horse fell down at the same time, and the soldiers on both sides let out an exclamation and flashed to the side.

At this moment, Chen Nuo walked over, if he hadn't seen this person crush a horse with the strength of one person, he really couldn't believe that there was someone in the world with such terrifying power.

He secretly cheered, but unfortunately before he could see the man's appearance clearly, the soldiers around him immediately shouted after a moment of shock, and rushed forward, it seemed that they wanted to gather the strength of everyone to subdue this man.

It was too despicable for them to do this, and as soon as Chen Nuo's body moved, he was about to rush forward.

However, at this moment, suddenly there was another loud roar, followed by a few puffs, and three or four soldiers were already shaken out of the distance and fell to the ground. Look at the man again, he has already stood up, his eyes are furious, his face is flying with beard, and his muscles are dancing, but there are many people on the other side, although he has shocked back a few people, but more people come up, hug his thick body, and just don't let go.

When Chen Nuo saw him, he called out his name in his consciousness: "Han Meng!" ”

He still remembered that they were working together in Zhao Fu's hands, and they used to be errands in the post. It's just because Han is as powerful as an ox that Zhao Fu heard about it, and Zhao Fu transferred him to his general's mansion to take care of the family. Now that Zhao Fu has been arrested, I don't know why he is here?

Han Meng raised his head violently, saw Chen Nuo, and responded: "Brother Chen!" ”

He was in a hurry to talk to Chen Nuo, and he was fettered by these people, where was he not annoyed? As soon as he started to get annoyed, he roared loudly, and it was really like a sea of mountains, and in an instant, the five or six soldiers attached to him were all shaken down.

He lightened, scurried forward, came to Chen Nuo, grabbed Chen Nuo's sleeve, and asked him anxiously: "Brother Chen, do you know that General Zhao has been arrested?" How is General Zhao doing now? I asked these guys, and they didn't say anything, it's hateful! ”

Chen Nuo was slightly stunned, daring to love him because he was in a hurry to find Zhao Fu, so he became entangled with this group of soldiers. But seeing that the soldiers who had been shaken back were about to rush up again, he quickly took his hand and said, "Talk in a different place." ”

He took Han Meng and flashed to the alley next to him, and after two laps in the alley, he lost those soldiers.

Chen Nuo and the two entered a wine shop and asked for a few bowls of rice and some wine and food. Han Meng was also hungry, and when he saw these things, he ate them in a hurry, but he still didn't forget to ask Zhao Fu's whereabouts.

Chen Nuo didn't hide it either, and told him about Zhao Fu's arrest.

When Han Meng heard this, his voice became louder: "General Zhao was really arrested?" No way! We're going to save him! ”

Chen Nuo said: "Of course you have to save him, but you can't mess around like you just now, people like you haven't saved themselves but they have been arrested by them first." ”

Han Meng put the bowl down, patted the wooden case with his hand, and stared at the beads of his eyes, clearly unconvinced: "Brother Chen, you also saw it, those people were not convinced just now, I just snatched their horses, and beat them to cry and call their mother, what can I do?" ”

Chen Nuo smiled bitterly and said, "If that's the case, you don't have to look for me, you can go by yourself!" ”

Han Meng was stunned for a moment, stunned twice, and grabbed the chopsticks again: "Then Brother Chen, what can you do?" ”

Chen Nuo said: "Of course, you have to outwit such a thing, you can't mess around, I'll find a way to ......"

He frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Han Meng finished eating the rice in the bowl, and seeing that Chen Nuo didn't know when he stood up and paced left and right, he also stood up and asked Chen Nuo if he had come up with a way. Chen Nuo was still frowning and told Han Meng not to disturb.

Han Meng was impatient, and since he couldn't urge Chen Nuo, he had to run to the side and keep stomping his feet. It's also that I have nowhere to vent when I'm full, and I'm anxious, and when I see a pillar, I actually hold it and shake it.

The shopkeeper looked up and saw that the dust was falling on the roof, and the pillars were also squeaking, and his face was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward, trying to dissuade Uncle Han Meng from shaking.

Seeing that Han Meng ignored it, the shopkeeper had no choice but to beg Chen Nuo again.

Chen Nuo was interrupted from his thoughts, and suddenly raised his head to see Han Meng's move, and his inspiration flashed, so he evoked the series of bold and risky strategies he implemented next against Gao Ran.

He hurriedly called Han Meng over and said to him, "Don't you want to rescue General Zhao, I have a way here." ”

Han Meng smiled: "Then let's go quickly!" ”

Chen Nuo shook his head and said, "This method requires you to cooperate with me, you have to promise me two points first." First, you are not allowed to talk casually, and second, you are allowed to do whatever I tell you to do, and you are not allowed to ask why. Can it be done? ”

After Han Meng agreed to Chen Nuo's request one by one, they also started to act. In order to cover up the murderous aura on Han Meng's body, Chen Nuo found him a white turban, asked him to wear it, and then took him to see Gao Lan.

It just so happened that he heard that Cheng Huan was coming with troops outside, and Yu Poison was going to abandon the city and leave, so he took these as excuses, and wanted to persuade Gao Ran to weigh the pros and cons and give up by himself.

Seeing that Gao Ran was in control, as long as he agreed to leave Heyang, it could be regarded as a soldier who drove people without a fight, and while reducing unnecessary casualties, he also achieved a great contribution. But Chen Nuo didn't expect that although the credit was completed, it was not necessarily his.

Zhao Fu took over the command from Chen Nuo and let Han Meng capture Gao Ran, using this as a threat to directly kill the general's mansion. When Cheng Huan's men and horses arrived, Gao Ran's subordinates were also leaderless, and they scattered one after another, and Yu Poison really ran away without a trace, and Heyang City was again controlled by Zhao Fu.

Zhao Fu met with Cheng Huan and brought some other new faces.

Cheng Huan introduced to Zhao Fu: "General, this is Yang Feng Yang Shuai of the White Bo Army!" ”

The purpose of Cheng Huan's departure this time was to invite the Baibo army to assist them, so as to increase the pressure on Yuan Shao, and also indirectly expressed their dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao's approach to the Huns. Zhao Fu saw that Cheng Huan had really invited Bai Bojun and invited one of them, Yang Shuai, to help, so he was naturally so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He immediately arranged a banquet and received this white wave handsome Yang Feng with grand courtesy.

The White Polish Army is also the same as the Montenegrin Army, they are all remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, the Black Mountain Army rose because of Montenegro, and the White Polish Army started with the White Wave Valley. It is also very funny to say, the world is in chaos, black and white are reversed, and the princes sometimes do not hesitate to resort to people they once regarded as thieves, and even foreign races that have invaded them, such as the Huns. The so-called troubled times are really courteous and mercenary.

Although Chen Nuo has been here for a short time, due to his special identity, he has experienced some things that are difficult for others to experience, which also made him understand these things earlier.

He has no aversion to White Wave and Montenegro, after all, most of them are peasants who were forced to stand up and fight bravely. Of course, for the princes, it is understandable that they try to win over all the forces they can to fight against dissent in order to survive. What Chen Nuo saw was nothing more than the way of the strong to survive.

At the banquet, Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan tried their best to flatter Yang Feng and kept persuading him to drink.

Yang Feng has never been treated like this since he entered Baibo, either he was requisitioned by the government today, suppressed by the princes tomorrow, or he was beaten by Dong Zhuo's general Niu Fu a while ago, and lost a battle, and it was not easy to recover these days.

He was suddenly treated by others, but he was a little uncomfortable. But this kind of thing, when it is comfortable, it will drift unconsciously, and the words that come out of your mouth can fly into the sky and become a cow.

So he turned the battle he had fought with Niu Fu into the man he had led his men and horses, how to beat Niu Fu's children and urinate, looking for teeth all over the ground.

Chen Nuo could hear the inconsistencies in his words, and then look at the trembling fingers of his weak heart, and he knew what was going on.

Chen Nuo was not the slightest interested in his glorious achievements, but he had a good impression of the man standing next to him.

The man standing behind Yang Feng was very tall and strong. He held an axe in his hand and his eyes were fixed on the front. His eyes didn't seem to look at anyone else, but they seemed to be watching everyone's actions all the time.

Even when Chen Nuo looked at him, although he was motionless on the surface, Chen Nuo could actually feel that he had actually quietly paid attention to him.

Although he is just Yang Feng's follower, he is definitely not an ordinary character looking extraordinary. Chen Nuo thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered a person, could it be that this person in front of him was ......

Chen Nuo picked up a glass of water and wine and said, "I see that this eldest brother has been standing there motionless for a long time, he must be hungry and thirsty, so it is better to drink a glass of water and wine first." ”

Chen Nuo's sudden action made Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan slightly stunned, and they didn't say anything. Yang Feng heard Chen Nuo say this and glanced at Chen Nuo. As soon as Chen Nuo reminded him, he also looked at the people behind him. It seemed that only then did he remember that there was such a person behind him, and since Chen Nuo said so, he also laughed and waved his hand: "Since it is the kindness of this brother, Xu Huang, you will accept it." ”

"Xu Huang."

Chen Nuo repeated the name excitedly in his heart, walked up to Xu Huang, and glanced at him again. It turned out that he guessed correctly, he was Xu Huang! This one first followed Yang Feng, and later surrendered to Cao Cao after Yang Feng's death, and finally became one of the five good generals of Cao Wei, Xu Huang Xu Gongming!

When Chen Nuo approached, he was about to hold the wine cup, but as soon as he came, his body was too close to Yang Feng's. Sure enough, Xu Huang was alert, and instead of taking the wine, he stretched out the axe in his hand first.

The axe flickered with a murderous aura.

His move not only shocked Chen Nuo, but even Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan in the hall looked at it, their faces were also dark, it was too faceless!

But Chen Nuo quickly calmed down, he kept a smile and said, "Brother Gongming, please!" ”

Xu Huang frowned slightly, glaring at Chen Nuo, he really didn't understand, General Yang only told him his name, when did he tell him the words? And how did he know?

Seeing that Xu Huang was still looking at him with suspicion, Chen Nuo had no choice but to smile and said again: "I forgot to tell Brother Gongming, the contemptible Chen Nuo, the cursive word, please take care of it!" ”

Xu Huang didn't take back the axe, but stretched out his other hand, took the wine cup in Chen Nuo's hand, and asked him, "Are you Chen Nuo?" ”

Chen Nuo was overjoyed: "It's the contemptible person, Brother Gongming, have you heard of me too?" ”

Xu Huang didn't answer him directly, but raised the wine cup slightly and said, "Since it's your wine, it's okay for me to drink one!" ”

After drinking the wine, Xu Huang thanked him and returned the wine cup to Chen Nuo, but he did not immediately withdraw the axe in his hand, and the corner of his eye kept looking at the distance between Chen Nuo and Yang Feng.

Chen Nuo was slightly stunned, then understood, immediately took a few steps back, and confessed again and again.

Since there was a due distance between Chen Nuo and Yang Feng, Xu Huang immediately withdrew the axe, but he still didn't say a word.

At this time, I only heard Yang Feng smile and said: "Brother Chen, don't be surprised, who doesn't know your deeds?" Not only did you successfully persuade Gongsun Zhan to retreat, but you also went deep into Montenegro alone, your name is not only Xu Huang, but I have already heard of it! ”

When Chen Nuo heard this, he hurriedly humbled a few words and didn't dare to take it seriously, and then praised Yang Feng for two sentences, and said a few words for Xu Huang.

At this time, Yang Feng finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked Chen Nuo: "What, have you ever known each other?" How do you know Xu Huang's words? ”

Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he was too reckless, and he was bent on showing closeness to Xu Huang, but he didn't think too much about it. got Yang Feng's doubts, so he hurriedly played sloppy, prevaricated casually, and then turned the topic to Xu Huang.

He thought that Xu Huang was just a follower here in Yang Feng at the moment, and he was inevitably condescending, but he hoped that Xu Huang would show his ambitions as soon as possible and not have to be overused.

So he suggested to Yang Feng: "I think Brother Xu is extraordinary, and he will definitely do something in the future." Yang Shuai is the time to employ people, but it can be reused. ”

"Really?"

Yang Feng turned around and looked at Xu Huang with questioning eyes, Xu Huang didn't move at all, but his face changed slightly.

Chen Nuo retreated from his seat, Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan's sycophants got up again, but this time they didn't shoot twice, Yang Feng's subordinates outside walked in and said a few words to Yang Feng, Yang Feng was two colors and one black, and the wine cup in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the wine spilled all over the ground.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan stopped and looked at Yang Feng.

Yang Feng's eyes rolled twice in his eyes, made up his mind, and hurriedly said: "Our army has just received a report, saying that Yuan Shao recruited Zhang Yang to let him return to Hanoi to preside over military affairs, and with the support of the Xiongnu Youxian King, thousands of people have gathered under his command. I...... Our army is too far away from the Baibo Valley, and I thought, should we go back to replenish the food and grass of the soldiers and horses, and later, we will talk about the alliance in the future? ”

Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan's faces changed drastically, and they exchanged glances with each other.

Cheng Huan immediately stood up and persuaded: "Yang Shuai is afraid that if he comes, he will cut off your back road, so he is in a hurry to go back, right?" But don't forget, it's not his force that is in Hanoi now, our soldiers and horses in Heyang are tens of thousands, and he is only a few thousand, are you afraid? ”

Yang Feng wiped his sweat and said, "If that's not the case, how can Ben Shuai be afraid of him?" It's just that our army is too far away from the Baibo Valley, and there is no need to worry about publicity, I am afraid that he will unite with Niu Fu, and in this way, my return route will be completely cut off. I'm really sorry for today's incident, so I say goodbye! ”

Yang Feng stood up, regardless of whether Zhao Fu and the others disagreed, and took Xu Huang out.

"Wait!"

With a snap, Zhao Fu stood up.

Yang Feng was startled, and the corner of his eye gestured to Xu Huang. Xu Huang suddenly turned around, slammed the axe sideways, and glared at everyone in the hall.

Chen Nuo was afraid that the two sides would make a fuss, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Gongming, you misunderstood!" Since Yang Shuai insisted on going back, General Zhao had no intention of staying. The so-called green mountains do not change the green water for a long time, and if you can't form an alliance today, you won't turn your face and become an enemy, right? What's more, before the general trend of the world is clear, one more friend is better than one more enemy, right? If you have more friends, you can help each other in the future, right? ”

Zhao Fu was originally angry, and he planned to ask Yang Feng what he meant, and simply fell out with him. But when Chen Nuo said this, he also came to his senses. yes, one more friend is better than one more enemy, right?

He immediately turned his anger into joy, walked down, and smiled: "He's right, I asked Yang Shuai to stop actually wanting him to wait, I want to send Yang Shuai out of the city in person." ”
