Of course, Chen Nuo's 'play' is just a joke, and no one will take it seriously. He pulled Dian Wei into his own military tent, and asked people to set up a small banquet, and he slept on the couch and talked freely.

From Dian Wei's mouth, Chen Nuo also knew something about his farewell.

It turned out that Dian Wei said goodbye to Chen Nuo, took Zhao Pet's head, and went all the way back to Chen Liuzhang Miao. Because he was just an ordinary soldier under Zhao Chong's account at that time, insignificant, and now that he took the head of the general Zhao Chong, he suddenly appeared in front of Taishou Zhang Miao, which really surprised Zhang Miao.

Looking at Dian Wei, who was covered in blood, Zhang Miao still asked him in disbelief: "The so-called trees are falling and scattered, General Zhao has all died in battle, and now no one has come back, but you are an exception." Not only did you come back, but you also brought back the head of General Zhao. Can you tell me why you did this, why didn't you run away like everyone else? ”

Dian Wei heard Zhang Miao's words without level, and he also snorted, and his eyebrows were raised: "General Zhao usually treats me well, since Wei is a soldier under General Zhao's account one day, then one day he should be the head of his horse." Today, General Zhao unfortunately died in battle, and I can't slash a thief, so I should bring his bones back to Chen and leave them for Lord Zhang to deal with, which is the duty of a soldier and the least basic truth of being a man. Don't adults even understand this, so why ask? ”

Zhang Miao was choked by Dian Wei, his face turned red for a while, and he couldn't speak.

Since Dian Wei's task has been completed, he also relied on him to give up his hand and said that he would go down.

Before Zhang Miao could speak, a person walked in outside the tent, it was Zhang Miao's brother, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao.

When the princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, he raised troops from Guangling to join his brother. After the dissolution of the princes, Guangling was sent by Tao Qian to Zhao Yu as the new Taishou, and because of the prestige of the local powerful Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son, Zhang Chao could not go back, so he had to stay with his brother Zhang Miao temporarily.

He stopped Dian Wei, looked him up and down, and said arrogantly: "You said that with your own strength, you actually snatched the head of General Zhao Pet from the thief general?" In that case, you must have some skills! ”

Zhang Chao said, and immediately took Tong Dian Wei out of the big tent, pointed to a row of seven or eight wrestlers outside the tent, and asked Dian Wei to fight with them.

Dian Wei did not hesitate to risk his life to snatch Zhao Chong's head from Wen Chou's hand, and ran around for days to send his head back to Chen Liu, for the word 'loyalty'. Now that he could not be comforted by them, he was also angry when he was treated with suspicion by them. Where is the need to be polite, rush up, three times and five times, and the fight will start.

In normal times, let alone these seven or eight wrestlers, no matter how many of them are, he wouldn't pay attention to them, but today is different.

Dian Wei has the intention to kill thieves, but he doesn't have a good night's sleep after running around day after day, let alone a day full of food, and his strength is insufficient, how can he fight? In addition, these wrestlers are already very powerful individually, not to mention seven or eight rushing together.

Although Dian Wei knocked down three or four in a moment, in the end, his strength was not enough, and one flaw was swarmed by these people and pressed to the bottom. Dian Wei still wanted to struggle, but his head was dizzy from hunger, and he couldn't use his strength, and he was tied up with a rope in an instant.

Then, he was put in front of Zhang Chao again.

At this time, Zhang Miao also walked out of the tent, Zhang Chao pointed to Dian Wei and Zhang Miao and said: "This fighting man clearly has no ability, I think he escorts the head is fake, and it is true that he is greedy for others!" Earlier, I also said how could he snatch the head of General Zhao from the thief general, and easily break through the blockade of Liyang and reach me Chenliu safely, but now that I think about it, he must have colluded with the thief, and wanted to use this head to gain our trust, so that he could cause trouble from it! ”

Zhang Miao glanced at Dian Wei noncommittally, and said to Zhang Chao: "Although I don't recognize this guy, I guess I won't do such a thing, is there any misunderstanding in this?" ”

Zhang Chao said resolutely: "No! I know what you think, big brother, you don't want to do things desperately. But big brother, don't forget, Yuan Shao is the one who wants to kill you. Now that Liyang lost the first battle, we can't be merciful, if his people penetrate deep into our army, and our military situation is controlled by him, how can we compete with him? ”

Turning his head, he shouted, "Take this person down first, and see what Yuan Shao has to say!" ”

Chen Nuo heard Dian Wei say this, and then nodded: "It turns out that Zhang Chao and the others suspect that you were bribed by General Yuan and them, and you are a spy planted in his camp. But it's no wonder, thinking that their sneak attack in Liyang failed, they are naturally all soldiers, and it is not surprising that they are cranky. It's just that since you were arrested by the two of them, how did you escape from Chen Liu? ”

Dian Wei smiled innocently: "General, you may not know that although Wei is a rough man, he usually does some things to work for others, but those who have suffered Wei's life naturally don't want to see Wei suffer."

Although Wei was in prison, he was secretly taken care of by them, and he didn't suffer much in prison. After waiting for some days, they saw that the wind was relieved, so they risked their lives to rob Wei out of prison. ”

Before Dian Wei appeared, Chen Nuo's heart could not be put down.

He wasn't worried that Dian Wei would lose his trust in him, he dared to let him go, and he was already sure that Dian Wei would come back. But now after all, it is a troubled time, and anything can happen, like Dian Wei kindly returning Zhao Chong's head, but he was imprisoned, which is a good proof. What he was afraid of was that Dian Wei would be fettered due to some changes, and he would never have anything to do with him.

But fortunately, Dian Wei still kept his promise in the end, and finally returned to him to 'confess'.

Of course, after listening to Dian Wei's explanation at this moment, Chen Nuo finally understood why he was delayed.

He nodded, and when he thought of something, he immediately asked him, "In this way, those strong men who followed you must have been the ones who robbed the prison in the first place, right?" ”

Dian Wei did not deny it, and immediately nodded: "It's a pity that because of me, they can't go back to their home, but they have become wanted, and they can only follow me to the end of the world from now on." ”

Chen Nuo sighed lightly: "When others are in danger, regardless of their lives, they desperately save each other, these people can also be called righteous people." So these men, since they are your friends, that is, my friends, they will not go anywhere from now on, but they will stay with you and serve under my account. It's just that in this way, you will be wronged. ”

Dian Wei was most worried about these brothers who were born and died with him, and when he heard Chen Nuo's arrangement, of course he was happy, and immediately thanked him: "The general is not reckless when he was in the past, he is not only willing to take Wei in, but also willing to arrange for these difficult brothers of mine, they are really big heroes, big husbands!" Wei has no words of thanks, and in the future, he can only repay him with death! ”

Chen Nuo hurriedly helped him up, patted him on the shoulder, looked at his burly figure and fierce face, and suddenly thought of something.

The battle of Yangcheng caused his Sima battalion to have a major blood change and recruited many new pawns. Although it is gratifying and congratulatory, most of these soldiers are Xiliang people who do not obey discipline, as well as Qianghu Yicong and Youzhou Wuhuan, although they dare to fight, they are not afraid of death, but their discipline is very poor.

Although there are two constraints, Zhao Xue and Han Meng, in the end, the two of them are daughters, although they are angry but not threatening, and although Han Meng is very murderous, he often complains about headaches about management and is not very attentive. Besides, after all, the two of them have limited abilities, and it is not easy to train such a group of soldiers in a short period of time.

And Chen Nuo also knew very well in his heart that the reason why these soldiers and ruffians did not change their teachings repeatedly was because there was no one else in their eyes. It's useless to talk to them about big truths like them, and they can only speak with their fists. Whoever is stronger than their fists will be convinced.

And Dian Wei in front of him is not only able to fight, but also has a fierce face, and no one dares to easily provoke his tiger teeth, but he is the best choice. It's better to allocate some soldiers and horses to him first, let him take them, and see if he can play some role.

Chen Nuo thought of this, and told Dian Wei what he thought in his heart.

Dian Wei was just a small pawn before, but he didn't expect Chen Nuo to let him train one or two hundred people at once, and he was very grateful and drummed in his heart, and asked him: "Wei has just arrived, and he has to lead so many people at once, and they didn't know Wei before, I'm afraid they won't be convinced, right?" ”

Chen Nuo smiled: "Are they not convinced?" Don't you have a fist when the evil comes, they don't accept it, and beat them until they obey! ”

Hearing Chen Nuo's words, although Dian Wei still didn't have much confidence, he still had great confidence when he thought of his fist.

Chen Nuo patted him lightly on the shoulder, thought of something, and said, "Speaking of which, I still have something unknown. I heard that Zhang Miao, Zhang Mengzhuo, Yuan Shao, General Yuan, and Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, they are all good friends since childhood, why Zhang Mengzhuo did not hesitate to go against General Yuan because he heard the rumors outside, and let General Zhao Chong send troops to Liyang, I think Zhang Mengzhuo is too impulsive in this matter? ”

Dian Wei frowned and said, "At the beginning, Wei was just a small soldier under General Zhao Chong, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't know the inside story. But Wei Xing also thinks that he has made a lot of friends, and he has heard about the whole story. ”

When Chen Nuo heard this, he nodded and let him continue.

"This matter has to start from the past, I heard that when the Princes Alliance crusaded against Dong Zhuo, General Yuan was the leader of the alliance at that time. At that time, Lord Zhang Miao was under him, but Lord Zhang said a few words to his face because he looked down on some of General Yuan's actions, so General Yuan held a grudge. This time, General Cao went to Dongjun, and General Yuan deliberately let General Cao take the opportunity to kill Lord Zhang.

Of course, General Cao not only did not do this, but also told Lord Zhang about it in person. I don't know anything else, maybe it's to make Master Zhang grateful to him, after all, he didn't do what General Yuan said. After Lord Zhang learned about this, he was uneasy all day, and his younger brother Zhang Chao and General Zhang knew about it, so he instigated him to take advantage of Yuan Shao's unstable foothold in Jizhou and strike first.

Although this Lord Zhang has the name of a hero, he has always been weak and has no opinions, and as soon as he heard what General Zhang said, he agreed. And General Zhang was anxious, and he didn't care about what was going on, so he ordered General Zhao Chong to send troops in a hurry. Moreover, before sending troops, General Zhang also gave General Zhao an idea, asking him to expel Chen Liu and the nearby refugees, drive them all to the north of the river, and let General Zhao use refugees to disturb the Liyang guards, so as to take the opportunity to seize Liyang.

General Zhao also listened to his opinion, but now that Liyang lost the first battle, Lord Zhang and General Zhang also lost their opinions, afraid of General Yuan's retaliation, and drilled soldiers and horses all day long, and even the yellow scarves in the county did not care about the levy, and all of them were handed over to General Cao to deal with. ”

After Chen Nuo heard Dian Wei finish speaking, he also had to admire Dian Wei.

I think that if these secrets were not for the eyes and ears outside, they would definitely not know, and Dian Wei can know so much as a scholar, it is really not simple, it is enough to see the breadth of his friends.

It seems that he has pulled a Dian Wei, not only is there an extra captain of the guard around him, but more importantly, Dian Wei is a chivalrous warrior, and he uses him today, how much can he win the favor of people in the same way as Dian Wei, maybe it will be of great benefit to his future career.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Chen Nuo didn't know how much he knew, so he asked him tentatively: "Is this Cao Cao Cao Mengde still in Chen Liu?" ”

Dian Wei nodded: "Yes, yes." General, you should also hear that although this yellow scarf was extinguished a few years ago, there is no longer any life since Zhang Jiao and others died. But the world has been in turmoil so far, and the poor people can't survive anymore, and those Yellow Turban Party members have taken the opportunity to incite them to make trouble again, and I heard that there are millions of Yellow Turbans in the area of Qingzhou alone.

That Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe could not be suppressed, so he could only let them mess around, and the momentum gradually became huge. But he was also afraid that this group of yellow turbans would join the Montenegrin army on the Hebei side, so that Qingzhou would be even more finished, and now that the weather is getting colder, he is afraid that once the river freezes, the gang of thieves in Montenegro will kill and run across the river.

Because of these, Jiao Thorn Shi did not think of a strategy to break the enemy, and heard that he also invented some ice trapping pills, saying that putting those pills into the ice water could also melt the ice, so that the Montenegrin army could not cross the river.

That's all, thinking that when this soldier was approaching, he didn't think about how to break the enemy, but burned incense all day long, hoping that the gods would bless him to retreat. Hehe, General, have you heard that there is such a thing in the world?

This Qingzhou and Yanzhou bordered, and those Yellow Turban gangsters were running around, one ran to Dongjun, and the other ran to Chenliu, wanting to cross the border from Chenliu and join Montenegro. Thinking that General Cao had just been listed as the Taishou of Dongjun by General Yuan, where would he tolerate these things to discover?

General Cao first extinguished the Yellow Turban in the territory, and then was invited by Zhang Miao Zhang to rush to the west to Chen Liu, to help him deal with the thieves in the county. When I came, General Cao had just had a big battle with the Yellow Turbans. There are tens of thousands of yellow turbans, and General Cao is new after all, and he has no more than 10,000 people on his hands, so I am afraid that there will be a bitter battle between them. ”

Of course, Chen Nuo would not be unaware of Cao Cao's affairs, thinking that when he had just escaped from Zhao Fu and defected to Yuan Shao, he had already heard about it at that time.

After the collapse of the Allied forces, Cao Cao was defeated because of Xingyang, and his soldiers were completely lost. He later went to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers, and then turned to his friend Yuan Shao. It's just that since Yuan Shao has no intention of crusading against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao is not very comfortable in his hands, so he has long wanted to find an excuse to leave Yuan Shao. Just in time, the resurgence of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban affected Yanzhou, and God gave Cao Cao this great opportunity.

Thinking that this Yanzhou is a chaotic place, it is Yuan Shao's general rear, since Yuan Shao is bent on planning to get Jizhou first and then compete with Gongsun Zhan, so as to merge with the big river and the north to compete for hegemony. Of course, if you want to do what you want, then stabilizing Yanzhou in the rear is the top priority. Now that the Yellow Turban has affected Yanzhou, Yuan Shao is afraid that this will ruin his good deeds, so he is anxious to discuss with Cao Cao, and express Cao Cao as the Taishou of Dongjun and send him to Dongjun to share his worries.

And Cao Cao, happy that Yuan Shao opened his mouth first, just left him. So, before Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he also crossed the river with his men and horses. So when he was in Hebei, Chen Nuo only heard that Cao Cao had stayed in Yuan Shao's camp for a while, but he didn't have the opportunity to meet him.

It's just that I didn't expect that in less than a few months, Cao Cao not only gained a firm foothold in Dongjun and swept away the yellow scarf under his eyelids, but also was able to spare people to help his friend Zhang Miao in chaos, and he also had more than 10,000 people in his hands, and the development was very fast.

If Chen Nuo wants to compete for the world, of course, he must have an understanding of the development of the surrounding princes. Although Cao Cao's affairs are known, they are not so detailed, and after listening to Dian Weiyi today, I have a deeper understanding of Cao Cao's current situation.

It's just that after listening to Dian Wei talk about it for a night, he didn't pay attention to other things, but there was one thing that caught his attention.

Just now he heard about Jiao He, the assassin of Qingzhou, and said that in order to prevent the Hebei Black Mountain Army from crossing the river while the river was frozen, what kind of trapping pill did Jiao He invent? It is said that throwing this pill into the ice cube will melt the ice, which is really nonsense.

When I thought of that ice pill, I didn't feel it again. He was thinking about the Ice Trapping Pill in his mouth, but his mind was deep in thought.

"These million yellow turbans cannot be connected to the Montenegrin army in Qingzhou, and they will definitely cross the river to the north. And the north is Yuan Shao's territory, so that Yuan Shao's foothold in Jizhou, which is not stable, can be said to be even worse. However, judging from the current situation, although this matter seems to be in trouble for Jizhou, if it can be used well, it may be a good thing......"

Chen Nuo thought of 'utilization', and fell into contemplation again, how to use this million yellow scarves in Qingzhou?

Dian Wei didn't have so many thoughts, seeing that Chen Nuo's face sank for a while, he didn't speak, so he didn't speak. At this time, a soldier came in from outside the tent, and it was not too early to remind him, could the general stop and rest?

After saying two words, Chen Nuo still didn't speak, and Dian Wei moved his stout body, stood up and bowed to Chen Nuo to say goodbye.

"Ah, there it is!"

Chen Nuo thought of this, raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help clapping. In a blink of an eye, seeing Dian Wei standing up, and soldiers coming outside the tent, Chen Nuo felt that the time was indeed not early, and he had to rest for one night, and he had to continue to hurry tomorrow. Since Dian Wei got up and retired, he didn't force him to stay. Waiting for Dian Wei to be out of the account,

Chen Nuo wrote a letter again and sent someone to Liyang overnight. His army was now on its way back and had to cross the river, so it was necessary to inform Liyang as soon as possible, so that they could arrange for the boats to meet him properly, so that his army could cross the river in time.
