Chapter 59: Meet the Hebei Zhen family again
Chen Nuo would not have thought that in this small Qingyuan, he would meet Pan Zhang by mistake.
This Pan Zhang was a subordinate of Sun Quan in history, and if you are not familiar with his name, you may know it when you mention Guan Yu. When Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, he was captured by a man named Ma Zhong, and this Ma Zhong was Pan Zhang's subordinate Sima at that time.
Of course, Pan Zhang in front of him is still very young, and his courage has been practiced, but he lacks that courage to some extent.
Since it was God who sent Pan Zhang to Chen Nuo's side, Chen Nuo naturally would not let go of this opportunity. If he can be brought under the account, not only will he have more brave generals, but he will also have an additional arm, and he will be able to share some of Zhao Xue's burden.
Chen Nuo deliberately questioned him during the banquet, asking him how he made a living now and what his plans were for the future.
Pan Zhang scratched his head and said with a smile: "What is this business for...... Zuo is just doing some small business at hand, as for the future, ......"
Pan Zhang glanced at Chen Nuo, smiled, and didn't dare to think about it again.
Although he didn't say it, he knew what he was thinking.
Chen Nuo pointed his finger at Dian Wei: "This person is a rare person of faith, I remember that I have already introduced you just now, but Brother Wen Qi may not know his origin, if Brother Wen Qi is not too troublesome, I am willing to talk to Brother Wen Qi." ”
Dian Wei didn't expect that he would be involved when he was talking and talking, and he was a little embarrassed to hear the praise. His oily hand that had grabbed the beef, not the left and the right, simply scratched the turban. On the poor fair-skinned handkerchief, a few shiny finger prints immediately appeared, as if someone slapped him in front of his heavenly spirit cover.
That Pan Zhang had just had a fight with Dian Wei, and he blamed him for being too ruthless just now, and he pressed him to the ground in front of so many people, which was really too faceless. Occasionally, when Chen Nuo mentioned him solemnly, he hurriedly said humbly, willing to listen to him, but he laughed badly in his stomach, and he didn't take Dian Wei, a strong man, in his eyes.
Chen Nuo had already seen it from his expression, and he continued without moving: "If I remember correctly, Brother Wen Qixian is from Dongjun Fagan, and this gentleman of my family is Chen Liuji. Speaking of which, Chen Liuhe and Dongjun are both subordinate to the Yanzhou Thorn History Department, so you can be regarded as half a fellow countryman. ”
Pan Zhang smiled, although his words were good, but after all, Chen Liu was south of the river, and his hometown was north of the river. It's just that when Chen Nuo said this, he couldn't refute it, so he agreed casually.
Na Dian Wei is a straight man, he looked at himself with a smile just now, he was angry but didn't know how to splash it. At this moment, seeing him look at himself with those strange eyes, and actually let out such a mocking laugh, Teng's face changed color, and he was about to have a seizure.
Chen Nuo didn't give him a chance, so he quickly raised his voice and said, "Brother Wen Jue, don't you don't believe what I said. Here's one thing, listen to me, and when I'm done, you will comment on it, and see if it's appropriate for me to call him a 'man of faith.'" ”
Pan Zhang arched his hand and faced Dian Wei: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”
Pan Zhang's provocative glance did make Dian Wei a little angry, and Dian Wei waved his hand: "General......"
Chen Nuo snorted, seeing that Dian Wei was frightened and didn't talk nonsense, he faced Pan Zhang and said with a smile: "Brother Wen Qixian, you may not know that before this time, in fact, Dian Jun has not always followed me. Speaking of which, he was originally a soldier under Sima Zhao's pet, and he was also a soldier under Chen Liujun's general Zhang Miao. Just because when I was in Jizhou, General Zhang wanted to take this opportunity to occupy a favorable territory, so he sent Sima Zhao Pet to command troops to attack my Liyang.
At that time, I led the troops west to Yangcheng, just in time for this incident. Later, Sima Zhao Pet died in battle, and one of his subordinates either fought or surrendered, or dispersed in a hurry, but they were not as loyal as the emperor. At that time, Sima Zhao's head had been obtained by my Jizhou general Wen Chou......"
"General Wen Chou!"
Pan Zhang's face changed, thinking that he must have heard of Wen Chou's prestige.
Chen Nuo nodded and said: "I think that since Sima Zhao's head was obtained by our army's Wen Chou, ordinary people don't even think about it anymore, but only Dian Jun dares to fight Wen Chou alone and take back the head of Zhao Chong in Wen Chou's hands......"
When Pan Zhang heard this, he glanced at Dian Wei and was silent.
Na Dian Wei couldn't listen to others praising him, and he was panicked; He couldn't see Pan Zhang's suspicious eyes, and when he heard Chen Nuo say this, he immediately walked away under the pretext of excuses.
Of course, Chen Nuo ignored him and continued: "Brother Wen Qixian, you may still not believe it, but this is what I saw with my own eyes, and there were many people in the army at that time. It's just that this matter is related to General Wenchou's reputation, so it has always been a secret.
Of course, I was deeply moved by this son's behavior that day, and I resolved to bring him under our army's account. It's just that how can a tiger like Dianjun be easily surrendered by me? Later, when I arrested him, he still refused to say anything, saying that he would let him go back first, and then he would come to me to receive his death......"
Although he knew that Dian Wei was by Chen Nuo's side at the moment, when he heard Chen Nuo say it, Pan Zhang still couldn't help but sarcastically say: "It's easy to say this, but I'm afraid it's difficult to do." ”
Chen Nuo shook his head, and continued: "I led the army through a major battle in Yangcheng and then through a major battle in Yuyuan Pass, and more than a month has passed, but there is still no news from Dianjun. At that time, everyone else said that Dianjun would not come, but Dianjun told me with his actual actions that there were others, and he did it! ”
Pan Zhang was silent for a moment: "So that's the case, I didn't come back when I went to Dao Dianwei, but the general, you personally arrested him and asked him for guilt." ”
Chen Nuo shook his head and smiled: "I can't do things that are difficult for a strong man, and it is precisely because of this that I said that Dian Jun is a 'man of faith', presumably Brother Wen Qixian, you have nothing to oppose now, right?" ”
Pan Zhang smiled and shook his head: "I didn't expect this son to be so loyal, I'm ashamed." ”
Chen Nuo let out a long sigh, stood up, and said slowly: "Having said that, it is precisely because of these that I value this person very much!" Thinking that the husband should put faith and righteousness first in his life, the gentleman can go from a small scholar to the current assassination under the account, which is naturally the result of his own continuous efforts while fulfilling his faith.
I can't wait for the time, Brother Wen Jue, in this troubled era, it is the autumn of men's meritorious service, I look at Brother Wen Jue, you look extraordinary, and you will not only remember the small business in your hand, right? Have you already figured out how to settle down? The so-called heroes in troubled times, perhaps joining the army is a good choice for our boys. Brother Wen Qixian, what do you say? ”
Chen Nuo said, gently put his palm on Pan Zhang's shoulder, and immediately felt the other party's reaction like an electric shock.
Chen Nuo didn't understand why he was like this, but seeing that his expression had changed, there seemed to be something unspeakable.
Sure enough, I saw Pan Zhang arch his hand to him and said: "The husband is on the battlefield, and it is indeed Pan Zhang's dream thing, but ......"
Pan Zhang said, sighing, "I still have a small deal to do, if I still have my life to come back alive, let's talk about this matter again." ”
Chen Nuo looked at his ever-changing face and knew that the small business in his mouth would not be simple. Seeing that he was leaving, Chen Nuo refused to let go, pulled his sleeve and asked in a low voice: "I'll say it directly, if Brother Wen Qixian is short of money to spend, I can take some from me at will." I just want to ask you, Brother Wen Qixian, can you stop doing this transaction, how about going to Guangchuan with me? ”
The words have come to this point, and Pan Zhang's face is solemn.
He stretched out his hand, slowly took Chen Nuo's hand away, and said, "General Chen, you also said just now, what you value most is people of faith. Contemptible people can not do this small deal, but if you lose your trust because of this, General, what do you think of me? ”
That's all said and done, what else can Chen Nuo say? He let go of his hand and said, "In this way, it is really despicable and reckless. ”
That Pan Zhang bowed his hand to Chen Nuo, expressed his apology, and turned around and walked out.
Chen Nuo spent a long time talking to him, and if he let him go like this, he was really unwilling.
At this time, Dian Wei had already walked out from behind the screen, and asked Pan Zhang stupidly where he went. Chen Nuo didn't have time to explain to him carefully, got up, settled the wine account, and left the wine shop with him. came to the market and searched for a while, but soon found Pan Zhang's traces. Chen Nuo was also inconvenient to stop him, so he had to follow Dian Wei all the way out of Qingyuan County.
That Pan Zhang went all the way north, his steps getting faster and faster, as if he was in a hurry to meet someone. Chen Nuo couldn't take care of it at this time, and chased Dian Wei all the way with his steps. After walking for about five or six miles, he came to the edge of a valley, and saw that Pan Zhang was about to go all the way to the deep mountains.
Dian Wei chased here, seeing that the time was not early, he was afraid that Zhao Xue and them would be in a hurry. Seeing that Chen Nuo didn't stop, he couldn't care so much, grabbed Chen Nuo's sleeve, and said, "General, do you really want to follow all the way?" ”
Chen Nuo was asked by him like this, and he also knew his concerns. Yes, now the three armies are important, although Zhao Xuezhen is guarding the battalion, but in the end, her strength is limited, and at this time, she is garrisoning outside Qingyuan City, so there can be no difference.
He paused and said to Dian Wei: "In this way, you go back first, I don't worry about Zhao Xue alone in the camp, you just go back to help her guard the camp for me." I'll take care of things here, and I'll go back, you and Zhao Xue don't have to worry. ”
When Dian Wei heard this, if Chen Nuo was allowed to act alone, he was not at ease again, and insisted that Chen Nuo go back with him. Chen Nuo didn't have time to explain to him, so he had to give him an order in the tone of the main general, which forced Dian Wei to agree.
Chen Nuo didn't dare to delay too much, so he left Dian Wei behind, and chased after him alone. I thought that Pan Zhang had already walked away, but I didn't expect that after crossing the mountain, Pan Zhang suddenly stopped and did not continue to walk. He stopped, looked left and right, and with a whistling in his mouth, he saw more than a dozen men rushing out on both sides of the valley, all holding knives in their hands, and their voices were fierce.
Chen Nuo immediately shrank back, only saying that it was dangerous, if he was in a hurry to chase after him just now, he was afraid that this gang would also be caught by that gang. Chen Nuo looked down further, and saw that as soon as Pan Zhang came out, they all surrounded Pan Zhang and talked, as if they looked down on the character of Pan Zhang, and faintly took Pan Zhang as the leading brother.
After Pan Zhang and those people greeted each other, before they could say a word, they saw a person next to him take out a map, unfold it, and spread it on a flat stone. Pan Zhang and those people also gathered together, as if they were discussing some confidential matters together.
Chen Nuo was far away, he couldn't hear clearly, and was about to get up to find a suitable location, when those people suddenly collected the map, and under the leadership of Pan Zhang, they walked further north up the mountain road. Seeing that they have fierce faces, holding murder weapons in their hands, and acting so sneakily, it seems that Pan Zhang's business has been done on the knife edge, no wonder he will say what he can come back alive to talk about him. Although he knew that it would definitely be dangerous to chase him any further, Chen Nuo had already chased here, and he had no other reason to stop.
Chen Nuo chased those people all the way and ran out of the valley for nearly a mile, and suddenly the people in front of him were stunned, and Pan Zhang and those people all dispersed. At this time, Chen Nuo realized that there was already the foot of the mountain in front of him, and his vision suddenly opened up. I saw that below the group of people in front of me, there were two groups of people touching below.
Looking at their identities and dresses, they are like businessmen, and they are all talking about business in a proper manner. Behind them, there were some medicinal herbs piled up on one side of the car, while the other group had only a box of ironwood and wood, which seemed to be jewelry and other money.
Judging from the current situation, the following two groups of people are talking about business, and Pan Zhang and them came to intercept these people's property?
Chen Nuoshang was thinking wildly, and suddenly he only heard a loud shout, and a reckless man danced with a blade in his hand, jumped down, and smashed into the crowd. Chen Nuo had already recognized at a glance that this person was Pan Zhang. Once this Pan Zhang jumped out, the other people behind him also jumped out from the left and right one after another.
Pan Zhang, who took the lead in killing, and the side that traded with medicinal herbs, they were already small in number, so they scattered in a hurry, leaving behind the boxes full of jewels and running away. And the side that deals in medicinal materials, although there are only seven or eight lean men, is desperately resisting. But it's only a moment's work, and they can't support it anymore, and Pan Zhang and they are about to succeed. Unexpectedly, the situation below suddenly took a sharp turn.
While Pan Zhang and the others were fighting unforgedly, a horse suddenly rushed out of the oblique spur, and the horse was followed by five or six men with spears. They were extremely skilled in dancing with spears in their hands, and they were quite spicy, and it was clear that they had been formally trained, and they were all strong and good players.
Their joining moved Pan Zhang's group. They didn't dare to fight, and they were about to run away with the jewels and medicinal materials, but they were caught up by the people behind them, cast a big flower net, and took Pan Zhang and the others in.
Chen Nuo saw that the horse was holding a spear, although he was young, he was quite capable. Pan Zhang and the others who are in it may not know, but in fact, this person has long been hidden behind, and has set up a net, otherwise how dare the people in front of him trade with others on the road so generously? It was also Pan Zhang, who acted inconsiderately, hit by mistake, and fell into the trap of others all of a sudden.
Chen Nuo's eyes were rolling, things had come to this point, but he still didn't dare to give up easily. It's just that how can I rescue Pan Zhang?
It's just that he was so anxious about it, but he didn't notice the abnormal movement around him. How did he know that even if Pan Zhang's gang was arrested, the young man who took the lead was still not at ease when he was thoughtful, and let people search quietly, and it happened that Chen Nuo was still leaning against the stone and thinking about it, so he was pointed at by a spear, and he couldn't help but show up.
That Pan Zhang was still scolding Ma Xiao'er for not being martial, but when he saw that Chen Nuo was also taken out, he was very puzzled, and looked at him with puzzled eyes.
Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Brother Wen Jue, we meet again!" ”
Pan Zhang looked at the group of brothers on the left and right, his face was noisy, and his head was lowered. Thinking of Chen Nuo's previous words, he was even more ashamed, he couldn't imagine that he would not hesitate to risk his life in order to move him, it was really undeserved, how could he bear his trust?
He knew that he had missed it now, and he didn't plan to go back alive, but when he thought of Chen Nuo being implicated in this, he was unwilling. Seeing that the man was about to leave without saying a word, and with them, he quickly shouted and shouted, "Slow! We have nothing to say if you take me and my brothers, who told us to plant now! But to be clear, this matter has nothing to do with this General Chen next to me, so you must release him immediately! Otherwise, even if we let you go, I'm afraid that General Yuan may not be able to let you go! ”
When the young general heard this, his body moved, but he did not immediately turn around.
He snorted lightly and asked slowly, "Oh? General Chen? Which General Chen is it? ”
Pan Zhang was anxious and said, "How many famous General Chen can there be in the Hebei territory?" This person is naturally General Chen Nuochen, and you still don't let him go? ”
Immediately, the young general got Pan Zhang's answer, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He didn't speak immediately, but a person next to him hurriedly reminded him: "Third son, this is ...... This Chen Nuo is a popular person around General Yuan, and he is only afraid of ......"
The nose of the so-called third prince snorted, as if he had made up his mind, ignored it, flicked his sleeves, and said: "It doesn't matter if he Chen Nuo or not, as long as he has any intentions against my Hebei Zhen family, I will never let it go, take it away!" ”
Hebei Zhenjia!
Chen Nuo's mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered something important, his body moved, and he asked in a long voice: "Are you also from the Zhen family in Hebei?" I don't know if you know a little girl named Yuyi? ”
