"Lord Chen, is everything going well?"

As soon as Chen Nuo and Sun Qing arrived at the camp, they were immediately surrounded by Yan Liang, Lei Gong, Zhao Xue and others, asking long and short questions.

Chen Nuo asked first, "How is it here?" ”

Yan Liang said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, as expected by adults, Zhao Fu and the others were also bold, and they dared to openly assassinate the envoy sent by Yuan Gong. I think if it weren't for Lord Chen, you would have guessed that they would have this trick, so you went to the empty sedan car and led them to intercept and kill, and your lord, you took the opportunity to sneak into Jizhou City to meet Han Fu, otherwise you would have succeeded in the thief's treacherous plan. Having said that, my lord, your plan to divert the tiger from the mountain is really clever, I wonder if the adult has seen Han Fu himself? ”

Zhao Xue next to him said with a smile: "Needless to say, as long as you look at the expression on Sun Shuai's face, you also know that they must have succeeded in meeting, and most of the goals have been achieved." ”

Sun Qing's face couldn't contain his excitement, and said: "You don't know, at that time, I pretended to be a family soldier with Brother Chen to meet Han Fu, not to mention how exciting it was. Thinking that the gate in the Han Mansion was very tight, we had to stay outside the other house for a long time in order to get close, looking for opportunities.

I finally saw a group of people delivering vegetables, so we bought them out, and then we mixed into the Han Mansion. After that, in order to be able to get close to Han Fu, we had to knock out the two soldiers in his house and change their clothes, so we met Han Fu himself under the pretext of delivering refreshments. ”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled: "Then did Han Fu promise to hand over Jizhou City?" ”

Everyone was most concerned about this topic, seeing that Chen Nuo and Sun Qing both nodded, they were also smiling, and asked one after another: "Then how did you persuade Han Fu to sacrifice Jizhou City?" ”

Chen Nuo smiled: "This is very simple, there are only two paths in front of Han Fu now. Either the city is offered or it is not. If you don't sacrifice, you will face the two-sided oppression of General Yuan and the Montenegrin army. What's more, although Gongsun Zhanjun has temporarily withdrawn from the army, he has already blamed Han Fu several times because of what happened last time, and maybe he will use this as an excuse to kill again.

In this case, he Jizhou is embattled, facing strong enemies, let me ask Han Fu if he can resist the strong enemies of General Yuan, Gongsun Zhan, and Montenegro with the strength of one person? He has come to such a field, what can he do if he doesn't descend? ”

When everyone heard Chen Nuo say, they all nodded and were convinced. As Chen Nuo said, Han Fu has indeed reached the point of recovering from poverty, and Chen Nuo, who he could rely on, forced him to turn to Yuan Shao because of his temporary confusion. In this way, the Montenegrin army that supported him also supported Yuan Shao because of Chen Nuo, in this way, Han Fu had no foreign aid to rely on, and in addition to his own soldiers, there were only people such as Zhang He and Zhao Fu who could be used.

Someone asked: "I heard that this time Zhao Fu raised 10,000 troops from Heyang and wanted to swear to protect Han Fu, wasn't he Han Fu moved?" ”

Chen Nuo shook his head and said, "Everyone knows that Han Fu is not without soldiers and horses, and it is said that the grain and grass are also very sufficient. Looking at General Yuan, although he moved all forces, he lacked troops and food, and had no foundation to settle down. If Han Fu used Zhao Fu's soldiers and horses to mediate with General Yuan, he might be able to turn things around.

It's a pity that Han Fu doesn't have such courage, if he had, I'm afraid he wouldn't have fallen into today's field. Even though he got Zhao Fu's soldiers and horses to help, it only gave him some comfort in his heart for a while, if he looked back, did he dare to persevere to the end? Therefore, if it is said that Zhao Fu used soldiers to protect him, it is better to say that Zhao Fu coerced him with soldiers and forced him to commit crimes together. ”

Everyone was shocked: "Could it be that Han Fu has been put under house arrest by Zhao Fu and them?" ”

Chen Nuo shook his head: "I can't say that, after all, Han Fu's actions are still very free, the only thing is that he has already expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhao Fu and them in his words." It can be seen that Zhao Fu and the others came this time because they were determined to mediate with General Yuan to the end, but the funny thing is that Han Fu didn't think of a piece with them, which made me find a breakthrough and put this matter to a final word! ”

Yan Liang nodded and said, "Since this is the case, Han Fu should also immediately present the Jizhou seal ribbon to wait for General Yuan to take over." ”

Chen Nuo frowned and sighed, "Yes, that's how it should be!" Han Fu originally wanted to hand over the Jizhou seal ribbon directly to me to take out of the city to dedicate to Yuan Gong, but unfortunately, because Zhao Fu and they had already controlled Jizhou City, the city was his eyeliner, and it was Han Fu's own decision to let out Jizhou, he was afraid that Zhao Fu would obstruct it, which would be unfavorable to us, so he temporarily deposited the seal ribbon with him. Of course, he had already agreed with me that in two days, he would hand over the Jizhou seal ribbon to his eldest son, and then his eldest son would personally go to the court and hand it over to Yuan Gong. ”

Yan Liang nodded, that is, he was relieved.

But next to him, Zhao Xue thought for a while and said: "However, since Zhao Fu and the others resolutely oppose Han Fu's transfer of Jizhou City, and now let his eldest son send the seal ribbon, won't Zhao Fu and them obstruct it?" ”

Chen Nuo nodded and glanced at Zhao Xue appreciatively: "You're right, but he will find other excuses, and he doesn't need to reveal his true purpose to others." ”

Zhao Xue shook his head: "But after all, he is Han Fu's eldest son, I think at this critical moment, Han Fu's eldest son suddenly leaves the city, even if there are many excuses, it will definitely attract Zhao Fu's attention." ”

Chen Nuo didn't expect Zhao Xue to be as careful as his hair and as smart as his brother, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, he also had to explain: "So letting Han Fu's eldest son go out of the city to send the seal is just a pretense, the purpose is to attract Zhao Fu's attention, just like the bureau I set up outside the city before Sun Qing and I mixed into Jizhou City, it is just to confuse the enemy in order to achieve our own goals." ”

When everyone heard this, they were very puzzled and asked: "Then how should we get the Jizhou seal?" ”

Chen Nuo smiled mysteriously: "Well...... You don't have to ask anymore, you'll know in two days. ”

Two days later, the news that Han Fu's eldest son suddenly left the city reached Zhao Fu's ears.

Zhao Fu was very puzzled, and he came to Cheng Huan to discuss the matter.

Because of the incident two days ago, Zhao Fu not only hated Chen Nuo, but also had doubts about Han Fu. Because on the same day, according to the spies he sent to protect Han Fu, Han Fu suddenly met two mysterious people in the mansion that day. Although they don't know the origin of these two people, it is enough to make their hearts palpitate.

For this matter, he invited Cheng Huan to Han Fu's mansion that night, wanting to knock on the side to detect the details. The two of them cooperated with each other, one sang white-faced, the other red-faced, and in the end, the news did not arrive, but they were sulking. Although Han Fu was a little reluctant when they entered the city before, he also said it euphemistically, but this time he actually spoke a lot harder and more harshly, which made Zhao Fu very unhappy.

Zhao Fu lowered his face: "At this critical time, Han Yuanjun suddenly sent his eldest son out of the city, walked in such a hurry, and opened the south gate, what did he want to do?" ”

Cheng Huan must analyze: "I heard that in order to support Chen Nuo, Yuan Shao has moved all the garrisons of Chaoge Qingshuikou to Liyang, so as to block the pressure from other aspects. Liyang is just south of my Jizhou, and Han Yuanjun's eldest son suddenly opened the south gate at this moment, could it be that he ......?"

Speaking of which, he looked at Zhao Fu.

Sure enough, when Cheng Huan said it, Zhao Fu's face turned pale: "Not bad!" If Han Envoy Jun betrays Jizhou, let his eldest son give the seal to Yuan Shao! He immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare men and horses to recover Han Envoy's eldest son.

When the soldiers went down, Zhao Fu paced left and right, beat his chest and sighed: "I think I, Zhao, have been sleepless all night for the matter of Jizhou, stepping up the deployment and training the soldiers, in order to obey Han Zhijun's orders when I have to do so, and then I will mediate with the dog thief Yuan Shao to the end!"

It's a pity that we are working hard day and night here, while Han Yuanjun is tearing down our city wall next to us. If I hadn't found out earlier, I almost asked him to send the Jizhou seal ribbon to Yuan Shao, then my Jizhou would really be finished! ”

Zhao Fu really cried bitterly when he said that he was emotional, causing Cheng Huan next to him to shake his head and sigh, and then wipe his tears.

The two sighed and comforted each other, and suddenly the doorman sent an urgent letter, which was sent by Zhang He from Wucheng.

Cheng Huan waited for Zhao Fu to read the letter, and then asked Zhao Fu: "What does the letter say?" ”

Zhao Fu's face changed, and he said, "General Zhang said that although he is in Wucheng, he has been paying attention to the changes in Jizhou. He also knew about the events of the previous two days, and had already sent someone to secretly monitor the movements of Yuan's army outside the city.

Speaking of which, General Zhang was like a god, and he had actually guessed that Han Envoy might send someone out of the city. And tell us that it is okay to obstruct, but it is not necessary to focus all our energy on this person, and let us not ignore Han Envoy Jun at the same time. ”

Cheng Huan thought for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "That's right! General Zhao, it's not General Zhang who reminded us that we almost fell for the second time of this thief! ”

Zhao Fu put down the letter in confusion and looked at him: "What do you say?" ”

Cheng Huan shook his head: "Has General Zhao forgotten what happened outside the city two days ago?" ”

Zhao Fu thought about it carefully, and patted the wooden case: "Yes, two days ago, I sent an assassin to assassinate Yuan Shao's envoy, and I thought that Chen Nuo was among them, but there was actually a scarecrow in the sedan chair. And on the same day, Han Yuanjun suddenly met two mysterious people. Come to think of it, one of those two must be Chen Nuo.

Ah, at that time, I thought we had calculated Chen Nuo, but now it seems that we were calculated by him without knowing it. He deliberately diverted our attention to the outside of the city, and then made it easier for him to act inside the city, and took the opportunity to persuade Han Envoy. ”

Cheng Huan smiled bitterly: "At that time, Chen Nuo must have discussed it with Han Yuanjun, otherwise there would be no next things." He asked Han Envoy Jun to deliberately release his eldest son in order to make us misjudge, so that we could relax our attention to Han Envoy Jun so that Han Envoy Jun would have a chance to contact them.

Ah, if that's the case, then this man is really not simple! Although he is repeating his old trick this time, if we are planted on the same plan as him, where will our old face go? I think if it weren't for General Zhang's timely reminder, we would have almost fallen for this kid. ”

Zhao Fu clenched his fists: "It's a pity that I didn't kill him last time, it's really a legacy of raising tigers!" ”

Cheng Huan shook his head and said: "Actually, Chen Nuo still has a credit for Jizhou, if he hadn't said that he would retire from Gongsun Zhan, I Jizhou would never have been able to hold on until now." And we put him on death row because he didn't expose the poison, and if you talk about it, this reason is also very reluctant.

In fact, he also reminded us, but we didn't pay attention. Instead, we put all the blame on him, and it was my Jizhou who owed him a loss. Chen Nuo has been forced by us to get to this day, and it's no wonder that he is no wonder. ”

Zhao Fu raised his eyebrows and wanted to refute it, but he did lose it.

He killed Chen Nuo and launched the poison, which was just an excuse. The important thing is that Chen Nuo's credit is too great, stealing the limelight from his boss, so Chen Nuo must die. Now that I think about it, is it my temporary jealousy, and I have planted a fuse for Jizhou. Demand?

Zhao Fu sighed, pushed the window and looked at the moon, the future of Jizhou, where are you?

When I came in from the courtyard just now, it was obviously the moon hanging high, but now it was covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, and it was terrifyingly dark. The wind blows, brushes the corners of people's clothes, brushes people's temples, look at the weather, I'm afraid it's going to rain, right?

What is the difference between this ghost weather and Jizhou before the mountain rain is coming? As if touched, Zhao Fu sighed leisurely.

He turned around and was about to open his mouth to ask Cheng Huan about some other things, when he saw the little official outside the door hurriedly come to report: "General Zhao, General Cheng, Lord Han, he ...... He ......"

As he spoke, the little official kept pleading with him, and the two looked at each other and asked him to get up and speak.

The little official wiped his sweat and finally explained the reason for the matter: "Originally, Lord Han had been resting in the upper room of the house, but just before this, the Lord suddenly said that he was not feeling well. So he summoned us all and told us to go around the city overnight in search of a doctor. We didn't think of anything else, he took it all out. But when we came back, Lord Han and the twenty or thirty family soldiers who stayed in the mansion were all gone! ”

The little official knew that it was a capital crime, so he quickly knelt down and pleaded again.

Zhao Fu was furious and shouted: "There is such a thing! ”

After all, Cheng Huan was sober-minded and asked the little official: "Do you know which way Han Envoy Jun is going?" ”

The little official wiped his sweat on his forehead and begged for mercy again and again, and it seemed that he knew nothing.

Cheng Huan waved his hand and asked Zhao Fu to retreat before he got angry again. He thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Although you and I were reminded by General Zhang He, in the end, Chen Nuo instigated Han Zhijun to escape!" ”

From time to time, another soldier guarding the city came urgently and asked: "Han Envoy Jun opened the west gate and went out of the city overnight, I don't know if the two generals know?" ”

"What!"

Zhao Futeng's qi and blood surged, he could no longer suppress the fury in his heart, and sent out all the fire. His eyes were bloodshot, and when he stretched out his hand, he was about to draw a knife and kill: "Who told you to release him?" Who is it?! ”

The soldiers defending the city were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and they hurriedly bowed and said, "This ...... This...... Han Envoy Jun wants to leave the city, how can we stop it? "I feel a little wronged, and I want to cry without tears.

"He's right." Cheng Huan grabbed Zhao Fu, stopped him from being rude, and persuaded him: "It is imperative that we persuade Han Envoy Jun to wake up in time before they meet, instead of yelling here!" ”

Zhao Fu was relieved, and finally listened to his persuasion, and immediately rode with him to the military camp in the south of the city, mobilized more than 7,000 elite archers and crossbow cavalry in the whole battalion, and rushed to the west gate together, and opened the west gate. Fortunately, they had already sent a scout horse in front and followed Han Fu and the others all the way, so they were able to grasp their whereabouts and follow them all the way.

Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan led the team out of the city four or five miles, and received a report from the front Tanma, saying that Han Envoy Jun and Yuan Jun outside the city had already met in a village in front of them, and asked about the next action.

Zhao Fu drew his sword and shouted: "Surround the village with me, and you can't let go of any of them!" ”

Cheng Huan heard Zhao Fu's arrangement, his face changed, and he hurriedly went up immediately, and persuaded him: "Even if we surround Han Envoy Jun and them, what is General Zhao going to do next?" If Chen Nuo and the others don't hand over Han Envoy, will they launch an attack?

Even so, General Zhao, you have to think about it, this sword has no eyes, if one accidentally hurts Han Envoy Jun, how to deal with the aftermath? Besides, if we surround the village, if they surround us from behind, how are we going to deal with ourselves? Think twice! ”

Zhao Fu said angrily: "Since ancient times, I have never heard of a person on the battlefield who did not suffer casualties, if Han Envoy Jun really has something, I am willing to fight with my life!" Besides, the eldest husband kills the enemy when he sees it, why should he care so much? If that's the case, then you might as well go home and play the house! ”

He didn't care about Cheng Huan, drew his sword and announced his order.

Cheng Huan saw that Zhao Fu was carried away by hatred, and immediately grabbed his sleeve: "If this is the case, then I ask General Zhao to let me lead the men and horses of my headquarters to supervise the battle on the periphery." ”

Cheng Huan and Zhao Fu are both subordinates of Han Fu, and they are in the governor's position, and their military positions are the same. To say, the number of troops they lead is not much different, but because Zhao Fu has always acted decisively, and they are all on the same front in Jizhou at the moment, one person must be in charge. Cheng Huan was also willing to believe in him and recommend him, so he set aside more than half of his original establishment and handed it to him, leaving him with less than 2,000 people. And this time out of the city, because he couldn't bring them all out, he had to stay in the city, so he was able to get less than a thousand soldiers and horses.

Zhao Fu didn't say anything, so he handed over his headquarters, and he took the remaining six or seven thousand people to kill all the villages in front.

The quiet village, because of Zhao Fu's sudden arrival, the golden drum shook and the red light soared into the sky, and the outer places were quickly sealed, and the fire burned.

Han Fu took twenty or thirty of his henchmen and soldiers to meet Chen Nuo according to the prior agreement. When he reached the center of the village, which was more spacious, he had already seen Chen Nuo's men and horses.

Chen Nuo stepped forward immediately and met with Han Fu. But before he could say a word, Tanma reported the movement in the city. Han Fu was flustered for a while, holding the Jizhou seal ribbon, not knowing what to do.

Finally, it was Chen Nuo who calmed him down and said to him: "Zhao Fu's vanguard cavalry will arrive soon, even if we leave the village at this moment, there is a flat avenue outside, which is even more unfavorable for us to prepare for war." For the sake of today's plan, I can only wronged Han Envoy Jun you, please Han Envoy Jun do not move in our army formation, I will lead the army and rely on the favorable conditions of the village for defense. ”

At this time, the fire on the periphery had also spread in, and the killing cries came one after another. And the pitch-black sky seems to echo the battlefield below, the wind blows, and it keeps flashing, stabbing people's eyes.

A night rain is coming!
