Guangchuan City, outside the west gate, a group of men and horses killed and dispersed the intercepted Gongsun Zhan's department and rushed to the city.

"My senior minister led three thousand soldiers to help Guangchuan, the city. The general opens the city quickly! ”

Shouting loudly below, Chen Nuoshi had already come from Yao Gong's Mansion and stood on the wall.

Chen Nuo glanced at the subordinates below, and said loudly: "Oh, it turns out that the high phase has arrived, please meet the high minister!" ”

Under the big line, I saw a person dressed as a civil official take a step forward and said to Chen Nuo: "The prime minister is here, but the city is General Chen Nuo Chen?" ”

"Hmm!"

Chen Nuo's head arched, and he said again and again: "Don't dare, the contemptible person is Chen Nuo, I don't know why Gao Xiang came?" ”

That Gao Yan said: "Benxiang and Yao Xiang even made friends, and now that he is trapped in this city, how can Benxiang sit idly by?" Today, Ben Xiang led the troops to come, just to help Yao Xiang and jointly resist the soldiers of Gongsun and the traitors. Therefore, how about asking General Chen to quickly open the city and let us and others enter the city? ”

Chen Nuo glanced at everyone in the city, and did not speak for a while.

Behind Chen Nuo stood Dian Wei and Zhao Xue.

Zhao Xue took a closer look and also saw some flaws. She was afraid that Chen Nuo would agree like this, so she quickly pulled Chen Nuo's sleeve and whispered: "General, no!" Thinking that now Gao Xiang broke through the thief camp to my city, although our army did not open the city to welcome them in, they were not very concerned, and they did not seem to be worried that the army of Gongsun behind them would kill at any time, which was one of its suspicious;

Moreover, although the Gongsun army behind Xue'er Guan was taken advantage of by the prime minister, and he couldn't organize people to chase after him for a while, he didn't ignore it and watched from the sidelines, which was suspicious. With these two points, Xue'er is worried that there must be fraud in this, and I hope the general will be careful! ”

When Chen Nuo heard Zhao Xue say this, he was also very pleased with Zhao Xue's meticulous thoughts. However, he had his own plans, so he didn't say a word, turned his head to the city, and smiled: "Gao Xiang is really righteous, I want Gongsun Zhan to surround me and wait for a long time, but General Yuan came first before Gao Xiang arrived." This is the righteousness of the ancients, admire and admire!

Originally, the prime minister came with righteousness, and I should welcome the city, but now the two soldiers are handed over to the city, and the Gongsun rebel thief is behind, I am afraid that as soon as the gate of my city is opened, the thief will follow into the city. Therefore, for the sake of prudence, Shu did not dare to open the city easily for the time being, and hoped to take care of it. ”

When Gao Yan heard this, his brows furrowed, and he wanted to have a seizure but stopped immediately.

He rolled his eyes, smiled reluctantly, and said: "General Chen is responsible for defending the city, and it is understandable to act cautiously at this time, and the general is not to blame. In this way, the prime minister is not embarrassed by you, the general, please send someone to invite Yao Xiang to come and talk, think about it, as long as Yao Xiang speaks, this matter will naturally be easy to say. ”

Chen Nuo smiled and immediately said: "It's really unfortunate, Yao Xiang is on the sickbed at the moment, I'm afraid that I won't be able to meet you for a while, so ......"

Before he could say a word, he heard a long laugh behind him, and a person said loudly: "Ahaha, the city is a high minister, oops, quickly open the city and let the people and horses of the high phase enter the city!" ”

It can also be heard from the voice that it is none other than Yao Gong who is speaking.

This Yao Gong was still on the sickbed just now, but now he actually appeared at the head of the West Gate City.

Chen Nuo didn't expect Yao Gong to follow his footsteps at this moment, it seems that he is also out of the way, and he really regards Gao Yan as a life-saving benefactor.

In that case, I want to see what you are capable of.

Chen Nuo didn't move, quietly looking at the soldiers in front of him.

The soldiers guarding the city in front of them were all Chen Nuo's henchmen, and they listened to Chen Nuo's words. Although Yao Gong had an order, but without Chen Nuo's words, they still stood still, did not say a word, let alone move their bodies, and Quan Dang did not hear it.

Seeing Yao Gong standing there embarrassed, Chen Nuo walked over, bowed his hand to Yao Gong, and pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, wasn't Yao Xiang very sick just now?" How did you run to the wall at this time, how can such a strong wind be here for a long time? Yao Xiang, listen to me, let's hurry back to the city, lest the old disease be added to the new disease! ”

Chen Nuo said, his eyes gestured slightly to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei understood. He nodded slightly, that is, the tiger stepped forward, and he was about to carry Yao Gong away.

Yao Gong also knew that it was very risky to come this time, so he brought out all the soldiers in the house.

He was followed by more than a dozen men, and seeing that some people were disrespectful to Yao Gong, they all stepped forward one after another and drew their swords at each other.

Yao Gong also let go, and sneered at Chen Nuo: "I know my own illness, and I don't need to care about you, General Chen." The prime minister now wants to ask you, in this Guangchuan City, is it you Chen Nuo who has the final say, or am I the grand Xiangguo who has the final say? ”

Chen Nuo called Dian Wei back, and then pretended to be frightened and said, "Capital crime, capital crime!" This Guangchuan City is the capital of Qinghe, and you are the Minister of Qinghe, of course, you are respected as the Minister of State in this Guangchuan City, do you need to say this? ”

Yao Xiang snorted and said, "In that case, then why can't I get your 'favor' from the general if I want to meet my old friends in Kaesong?" Do you still have me in your eyes? ”

Chen Nuo smiled, he was a dog biting people in a hurry.

He didn't explain, just pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, is this Gao Yan Gao Xiang really Yao Xiang's friend?" ”

Yao Gong snorted, what's wrong with this Chen Nuo, I told him in the house before, why did I ask knowingly at this time?

"Of course, is that still true?"

Yao Gong flicked his sleeves, and was anxious to open the city to bring Gao Yan and others into the city, so he urged the left and right people to pull the suspension bridge and open the city gate. But Chen Nuo stopped him in time, and asked Yao Gong the same sentence in a low voice again. Yao Xiang was asked twice by him, and he was impatient, but he couldn't answer it, so he had to snort heavily and nodded, which was considered to be admitted.

Chen Nuo was even more surprised when he heard this, pulled Yao Gong to the side, and whispered to him: "I can't help it, I know that Yao Xiang, you are a little prejudiced against me, but Yao Xiang, you have something to listen to." Didn't I tell Xiang Yao repeatedly before, in the current situation, in our position, the most important thing is to act cautiously and not take a wrong step. Otherwise, one wrong step, every step is wrong!

Yao Xiang, I, Chen Nuo, didn't mean to make things difficult for you, but this matter is very tricky. Do you know what Gao Yan did when he suddenly came to the city, do you really think that Yao Xiang helped me Guangchuan? If Yao Xiang thinks so, it is really a big mistake.

Yao Xiang, you don't know yet, this Gao Xiang has now sold An Pingguo to Gongsun Zhan. He came this time to deceive the Guangchuan City Gate from Yao Xiang, and then kill you and me. Thinking that Gao Yan is a person who has lost his temper, is Yao Xiang still an old friend with him? If General Yuan hears this, I'm afraid it will be bad for you, Yao Xiang, right? Yao Xiang, don't think twice! ”

Yao Gong's face changed greatly when he heard Chen Nuo say this, but he instantly became rational again: "General Chen, don't be alarmist, don't say that he will not betray General Yuan, just earn the city to kill you and me, I'm afraid it's just the general's conjecture." General Chen must not say anything more, but he is afraid that General Yuan will blame him at that time. ”

Chen Nuo smiled and said: "I know that you don't believe Yao Xiang, if I come up with evidence of collusion between Gao Xiang and Gongsun Zhan, don't you believe Yao Xiang?" ”

Yao Gong was slightly stunned, he didn't know what evidence Chen Nuo had, and he wanted to see it in person, but Chen Nuo didn't take it out immediately.

He was hesitating about this, and Chen Nuo comforted him: "Yao Xiang, don't move, right and wrong, I'll let Yao Xiang you understand!" ”

Chen Nuo said, ignoring Yao Gong, turned around, and suddenly shouted below, "Listen below!" Yao Xiang said, thinking about the past feelings, I will not pursue Gao Xiang's crime of deliberately earning the city for the time being. Gao Xiang, you can pack up your men and horses, quickly retreat the army, and then let you and Gongsun Chan jointly attack my city, that's your business, but now, you must leave quickly, otherwise the archers will wait! ”

When Chen Nuo said about the archers, the soldiers behind him immediately took a step forward, all of them pulled up their bows and arrows, and aimed downward.

Chen Nuo's words were so abrupt that even Gao Yan and the others were stunned by him. But after all, Gao Yan had a ghost in his heart, and he thought that his plan had failed, so he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

But if Chen Nuo's words made him die from now on, he would be unwilling. He grabbed the reins in his hand and shouted, "Is Yao Xiang on the head of the city?" Yao Xiang, old friend, I'm here to save you Guangchuan, if you don't appreciate it, it's just that, how can you let people say these hurtful words? You ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Chen Nuo snorting at the head of the city, and suddenly pulled out a silk book from his sleeve, tied it to an arrow, and then shot it down with all his strength.

This arrow was impartial, and it landed in front of Gao Yan's horse, if Chen Nuo was interested, he was afraid that Gao Yan had already been shot off the horse by him at this moment.

Gao Yan's face turned pale with fright, and in his panic, he only heard Chen Nuo shouting loudly at the head of the city: "Gao Xiang, you can take a closer look, is this the letter you exchanged with Gongsun Zhan at the beginning?" Now that this letter has been intercepted by our army, what else do you have to say? ”

Gao Yan originally had a ghost in his heart, and with the effect of this arrow, where did he dare to take the arrow, he hurriedly clamped the horse's belly and ran back. Those soldiers who followed, when they saw that the Lord was leaving, they had no backbone, and they followed the desert one after another.

"How is Yao Xiang?"

Chen Nuo pointed out to Yao Gong, who was already so frightened that his face was completely pale. He didn't expect this to be true, originally he also wanted to use Gao Yan's power to balance Chen Nuo, so he put everything out, regardless of whether he was fake sick or not, he just rushed out. Originally, I thought that I would be able to succeed this time, but I didn't think that Gao Yan would be so ineffective, and he really took refuge in Gongsun Zhan.

Yao Xiang was angry and anxious, the six gods had no master, and when he heard Chen Nuo ask, he just kept nodding his head and didn't say it.

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Since Yao Xiang's illness has been cured, please continue to come out to preside over the work of pacifying the people." ”

Yao Gong thought about it carefully, Gao Yan, the only one he could count on, couldn't be counted on now, he really became a 'lonely man' all of a sudden, and from now on, he wanted to overthrow him Chen Nuo and regain power, I was afraid that it was already delusional. He pretended to be sick to paralyze Chen Nuo, but now the pain in his chest was telling him that he was really sick.

But I have already had a medical record, where can I continue to talk about illness? Yao Gong babbled, dealt with a few sentences casually, and hurriedly left.

Yao Gong came down here, and the Gao Yan subordinates under the city did not dare to underestimate Chen Nuo, so they quickly retreated. Fortunately, Gongsun Zhan's army responded quickly, otherwise Chen Nuo really wanted to take this opportunity to open the city and send Gao Yan another ride.

That Gao Yan did not open the gate of Guangchuan, so he had to go to Gongsun Zhan to confess his guilt.

Although Gongsun Zhan felt that it was a pity, he was not in a hurry to blame Gao Yan, but just asked him why he was so secret, which made Chen Nuo see the flaw. Gao Yan had no choice but to tell Chen Nuo about the interception of the letters between them, and Gongsun Chan asked him for the letters, but fortunately, before retreating, Gao Yan's generals had pulled out the silk letter shot by Chen Nuo and brought it back with arrows, and Gao Yan handed it over to Gongsun Chan to see.

Gongsun Chan looked at it, smiled bitterly, and handed it to Gao Yan.

Gao Yan looked at it, and pointed to the content of the letter on it again and again: "This is wrong, how can I say this, general, this letter is fake, it is ......"

Gongsun Zhan had already stood up and smiled: "Chen Nuo has always been cunning, it is not surprising that you fell for him." The so-called eating a trench grows a wisdom, you know it. It's none of your business here, you go down first! ”

Gao Yan was bored, so he had to retreat in a huff.

Of course, Gao Yan suddenly took refuge in Gongsun Zhan, and Chen Nuo was able to see through it in time and drive him away, not because Chen Nuo was lucky for a while, but because he had long been concerned about this matter. Before this, he always remembered Guo Jia's evaluation of Gao Yan, so he deliberately paid attention to Gao Yan.

If Guo Jia's comment is correct, then at this time of turmoil, other counties have raised the banner of Gongsun Zhan, and why did Gao Yan still stick to Anping from beginning to end? You must know that this Anping is bordering Qinghe, and his governance letter is so close to Guangchuan, and places such as Changshan and Zhongshan have taken refuge in Gongsun Zan one after another, so he has no reason to still guard Anping without making any statement.

Gao Yan's such a strange move, if it is not righteousness, then it is a traitor, of course Chen Nuo can't help but pay attention.

He secretly handed over the matter to Dian Wei to deal with, and Dian Wei sent out all the 'assassins' he usually trained, and finally found clues and learned the fact that Gao Yan secretly colluded with Gongsun Zhan. Therefore, when Gao Yan brought the army to his city, Chen Nuofang was able to deal with it calmly.

Dian Wei's 'Assassination Department' was originally secret, and this matter was also secretly operated, so it was not surprising that Zhao Xue and the others did not know.

After this incident, Chen Nuo had also learned the news that Yuan Shao had raised 50,000 troops from Yecheng. However, Yuan Shao did not bring the soldiers and horses directly, in addition to letting Lu Yi serve as the vanguard to lead the troops to rescue Guangchuan City, Yuan Shao temporarily stationed the army in Guangzong County, Julu County, as a support.

Yuan Shao's intention was actually obvious, he just wanted to use Chen Nuo to resist Gongsun Zhan for a while, in order to get the best chance of the decisive battle. At that time, regardless of whether Chen Nuo can defeat Gongsun Chan or not, when the Guangchuan War is over, Gongsun Chan will also continue to go deeper with his tired army, so that he will be able to attack him head-on with ease and hard work, which is not difficult.

Yuan Shao has his abacus, and Chen Nuo certainly has his calculations.

He also wanted to use the battle of Guangchuan City to gain more capital. Regardless of the success of this battle, it will be beneficial and harmless to him.

After all, it was Gongsun Chan who won the great victory of Dongguang who besieged Guangchuan City, and his troops were more than ten times that of Chen Nuo. If Chen Nuo is lucky enough to win, it will be a victory on the shoulders of giants, and even if he can't, it will also increase his prestige.

Therefore, for Chen Nuo, this battle is to be able to obtain the greatest benefits no matter what.

However, there is a so-called preference for the head of a chicken rather than an oxtail, if Chen Nuo succumbs behind Yao Gong from beginning to end in this battle, not to mention whether Yao Gong can win this battle, even if he wins, it has little to do with him Chen Nuo. Therefore, in order to be this 'chicken head', Chen Nuo did not hesitate to take over the military command from Yao Gong step by step at all costs.

With this baton, why worry about not being able to build prestige in the future?

Chen Nuo thought so and did so. Now he controls the four gates of Guangchuan, and uses his position to expand his personal armament, and his troops have reached about 2,000 people, not counting those volunteers who were temporarily recruited.

Chen Nuo was holding the city on his side, and within a few days, there was a sudden news that the men and horses led by Ko Yi were coming.

Although he did not get Yuan Shao to save him personally, with the help of Liyi's team, Chen Nuo saw some hope. After Chen Nuo received the news, he immediately sent people to contact them, and the two sides discussed the date of entering the city and how to enter the city.

But things didn't go so smoothly, and the place where Lu Yi led the men and horses and was still twenty miles away from Guangchuan City was discovered by Gongsun Zhan's exploration horse. Gongsun Chan immediately organized men and horses to intercept the men and horses of Koyi.

There are only more than 2,000 people in the army of Koji Yi, and there are tens of thousands of people sent out by Gongsun Zhan, and the number of people on both sides is a huge gap, not a level at all, not to mention that Koji Yi came from a long way, how to fight? Although this Koji Yi was brave and good at fighting, in the end he was still blocked by the men and horses sent by Gongsun Zhan.

Although Koji Yi fought hard, the gap in the number of opponents was too big, and he was not familiar with the geography of Guangchuan when he first came here, so he lost his geographical advantage, let alone exerted his combat power. In this way, the two sides fought for only an hour, and Koji's men and horses were surrounded by the other party.

Fortunately, as soon as Koyi's side engaged in the battle, he sent people to inform Chen Nuo. After Chen Nuo got the news, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately organized people and decided to save them in person.

However, Chen Nuo did another thing before leaving the city, he personally went to Yaogong's mansion and invited him out.
