Soon after Feng Ji left, Koji Yi came again.

"Big brother!"

As soon as Lu Yi entered the tent, he hugged Chen Nuo: "Big brother, you finally woke up!" ”

Chen Nuo thought about things, although Lu Yi came, he only dealt with it lightly.

Lu Yi didn't see it for a while, and explained to him that it was an urgent situation to explain to him that he had said goodbye last time, so he didn't wait for him, so that Chen Nuo would not misunderstand.

Thinking of the girl that day, Lu Yi smiled obscenely, and said to Chen Nuo in his ear: "Hehe, I don't know if that little girl is waiting for you, big brother?" ”

Chen Nuo smiled in response, and didn't say anything else.

Lu Yi hugged Chen Nuo's shoulder and sighed: "It's a pity that since I arrived at the Yanjin camp, because of military affairs, I didn't have the time to visit you again for a while. Big brother, you won't blame me, will you? ”

Chen Nuo shook his head: "How can this be?" ”

Lu Yi smiled: "I knew that the eldest brother wouldn't!" Does Big Brother know? Later, I finally had time, thinking that you were still herding horses by the river, and I was really wronged, so I went directly to Yuan Gong to reason and asked Yuan Gong to use people.

Yuan Gong didn't have any objections, and also said that eldest brother, you are indeed a rare talent, and letting eldest brother you herd horses has indeed wronged you, so he promised to reconsider and arrange other things for you eldest brother. ”

Chen Nuo frowned slightly: "How can such a thing be rushed?" What's more, Yuan Gong may not have heard about you and me's worship, and you are not afraid that Yuan Gong will be too careful? Besides, didn't you promise that I wouldn't meddle in this matter, but you ......"

Seeing that Chen Nuo was in a hurry, Lu Yi immediately said: "Although I promised my eldest brother, but when I think of my eldest brother, you are still being wronged, how can I, as a junior brother, feel at ease?" If the eldest brother blames the younger brother, the younger brother will not complain! ”

Chen Nuo knew that Lu Yi was concerned about himself, where could he blame him, but he told him again not to be strong for his affairs in the future.

Lu Yi agreed: "Big brother, you're right, I'm really in a hurry this time, if I know that big brother you will encounter the next thing that night, you will be blessed by misfortune, I don't have to worry so much."

I think of the eldest brother, you did not hesitate to sacrifice your life to fight the assassin in order to save Yuan Gong, and you resolutely did not retreat. This kind of kindness, presumably Yuan Gong can understand it without saying it, and he will not treat you badly, eldest brother. Haha, big brother, you just wait for the high-ranking officials. ”

Lu Yi thought that Chen Nuo would be very happy after hearing this, but he didn't expect that he was still the same as before, and there was no wave in the ancient well.

Chen Nuo suddenly opened his mouth and asked Lu Yi rhetorically: "Brother Xian, do you think I saved Yuan Gong for some high-ranking official Houlu?" Brother Xian, you are wrong, I saved him, but out of my own heart. Even if it is a passerby, I will give up my life in the face of morality. ”

Lu Yi smiled: "It's like the eldest brother you saved Sun Qing at the beginning?" ”

Chen Nuo was stunned, he did not deny it.

Lu Yi laughed: "Sun Qing's matter, although you didn't tell me in person, big brother, I have also heard about it." I heard that the eldest brother had only met with that Sun Qing once before this, and I also heard that Sun Qing had wanted to murder the eldest brother at that time.

But when you were killed, big brother, instead of falling into the well, you went into danger alone and rescued him from Han Fu in every possible way. Not to mention anything else, it's the righteous act of repaying your grievances with virtue, who doesn't admire it after hearing about it! ”

After a pause, Lu Yi said again, "Big brother, do you know, I decided to worship you as my eldest brother when we first met, in fact, I didn't have a brain fever for a while, but because after hearing about these deeds of your eldest brother, I knew that my eldest brother was a chivalrous person and a person who could be friends, so I wanted to worship you as a brother without hesitation."

Presumably at that time, big brother, you thought I would have some bad intentions, right? Haha, in fact, you don't have to worry about it, big brother, if you want to say that you are plotting badly, in fact, I am also trying to make your chivalrous heart, big brother. If I don't make friends like you, big brother, who else in the world is worth befriending? ”

If Lu Yi didn't say it, Chen Nuo might not understand why Lu Yi would worship him as a poor boy with a low status, but now listening to him, he felt relieved.

He stretched out his hand and patted Lu Yi's shoulder heavily: "Good brother! ”

Lu Yi glanced at Chen Nuo: "Big brother, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Chen Nuo smiled: "You can see it?" Isn't that the case? I guess you've heard about me going to envoy Han Fu, right? If it were you, what would you do? ”

Lu Yi slapped his thigh and shouted, "This is not easy? Big brother, the reason why you hesitate is because you used to do things for Han Fu, and now you have to go in turn to persuade Han Fu to give up Jizhou for Yuan Gong. This is naturally difficult for you to accept for a while.

But big brother, don't forget, big brother, although you used to do things in Han Fu's hands, he was not reasonable at all, you did something for him, but instead of being grateful to you, he sent you to Zhao Fu, big brother, and wanted to borrow Zhao Fu's hand to get rid of you, big brother.

A mediocre man like him who repays virtue with grievances, why can't you abandon him and leave? This is the so-called good bird chooses trees to perch, if you don't leave, is it in vain to die? Besides, big brother, since you are in Yuan Ying now, and you are eating Yuan Gong's food, if you do something for him, are you still afraid that the world will say? ”

Chen Nuo sighed: "Although I say this, I'm only afraid that when I talk about this in the future, people who don't know, don't you say that this Jizhou is also my defeat, then I won't become an unfaithful and unrighteous person?" ”

Lu Yi laughed: "Big brother, are you too careful?" Since ancient times, there has been much help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust. Thinking that Jiang Taigong was a minister of Shang back then, and in the end, Shang had no way, so he joined Zhou Xibo, which created the world of Yin Zhou for 800 years, is he a villain because he abandoned Shang and entered Zhou?

Besides, Han Fu is just a small state pastor, not comparable to businessmen. Like today's troubled times, it is the time for a husband to spread his wings, how can he be confined to a corner because of one person? He Han Fu doesn't know how to use you, can't you choose someone else? ”

When Chen Nuo heard this, Huo Ran was cheerful, grabbed Lu Yi's arm, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian's words are really good words, which made me suddenly open, thank you Brother Xian, I am no longer confused." ”

When I think about it, I'm really ashamed. I remember that I once persuaded Zhao Yun that 'in today's troubled times, not only the king chooses the minister, but also the minister', it was easy to persuade him at that time, but he was confused when it came to himself.

Thinking about it again in history, after Yuan Shao won Jizhou, Xun Yu and Guo Jia abandoned Yuan to Cao because they saw Yuan Shao doing nothing, and Jia Xu, he changed his master several times just to protect himself, and he was not criticized. There are many examples like this, and it is normal in that troubled time. Now it seems that I still have any suspicious concerns?

Sending Lu Yi away, it was dark from time to time, and Chen Nuo had just finished eating, and Yuan Shao came.

Yuan Shao grabbed Chen Nuo's hand and didn't let go, talking about the assassination in the tent that night, fortunately Chen Nuo rescued him, he just gushed endlessly. Finally, he put his hand on Chen Nuo's shoulder and said, "Say, whatever reward you want, I will promise you!" ”

Chen Nuo thanked him a few words, saying that he would not reward anything.

Yuan Shao listened to what Chen Nuo said, and nodded: "Okay, let you say it yourself, I'm afraid it's more difficult than letting the iron tree bloom." In this way, you don't shirk it, just serve as the captain of Yuanmen, and go to work as soon as the injury is healed! ”

Chen Nuo was stunned. I don't know anything else, he knows what this captain does.

Yuan Shao has a guard army that protects him day and night, and this force seems to have a thousand people, named Yuanmen. Just because the 'Yuan' of this gate has the same sound as his surname Yuan, and the door has the meaning of opening and closing guards, Yuan Shao called his guard army 'Yuanmen Battalion'.

The highest commander of the Yuanmen battalion is the captain of the Yuanmen battalion, who can lead and command the whole battalion and has important responsibilities. And because the Yuanmen Battalion is the center and has a special status, it is not Yuan Shao's closeness who can enter the Yuanmen Battalion, but also a capable cadre worthy of Yuan Shao's trust. What's more, he made him the supreme commander of the Yuanmen battalion!

At the moment of temptation, Chen Nuo did not agree.

He just said lightly: "Captain Yuanmen has a lot of responsibilities, I'm afraid that I can't take the position, so Yuan Gong should choose someone else." ”

Yuan Shao was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, he would actually refrain from such a good errand? He wanted to say something else, but suddenly there was a sound of golden drums outside the tent, and Yuan Shao didn't know what was going on outside.

From time to time, a soldier reported to Yuan Shao: "General Yuan, there are countless ships on the river, beating gongs and drums coming from the rear of our army. It is known that this army is the two-way naval army of Han Fu's generals Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan, with a total of more than 10,000 people. How to deal with it, please tell the general. ”

Yuan Shao came out of the tent and stood on the mound to visit. I saw distant ships like snakes, winding towards his Yanjin camp.

The generals in the camps knew about this, and they also sent soldiers one after another to ask Yuan Shao's side for his life.

Yuan Shao looked at it for a while, his face changed greatly, he pressed his sword in his hand, and ordered: "Although Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan came with the whole army, they don't dare to do anything to me if they think about it." He beat the drums in my tent overnight, just to scare the three-year-old! Hmph, pass on my general order, the whole army is on standby, no orders, no unauthorized attacks! ”

The order was passed on, and even if there were people in each battalion who wanted to fight, they could only stare at and scold their mothers.

Sure enough, as Yuan Shao guessed, after Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan's naval army passed through Yanjin Dazhai, they did not land or stay, and walked forward.

Yuan Shaocong returned to Chen Nuo's tent and laughed at himself: "You have also seen that the matter of the assassins last time is not over, and now they are doing this again, they can really be killed!" ”

Chen Nuo was silent for a moment and said: "It's all because I was injured that the army has not been pulled out until now, if I had left two days earlier, I wouldn't have to suffer from Zhao Fu's anger at this moment." ”

"It's not your fault!"

Yuan Shao walked to Chen Nuo's side and looked at him worriedly, "What I'm worried about now is your injury, I don't know when you will be able to heal." ”

Chen Nuo looked at Yuan Shao's expression, and listened to the tone of his voice, and immediately guessed from it that Yuan Shao was in a hurry to give him an official and wanted him to go to Jizhou as soon as possible.

Chen Nuo sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that if he doesn't go to Jizhou, Yuan Shao will not let him go.

Chen Nuo arched his hand and said: "Whether you can get Jizhou now depends on the forces in all aspects, and who is faster." Now that Zhao Fu and the others have come from in front of Yuan Gong, it is time for Yuan Gong to leave. Yuan Gong rest assured, the injury on my body is a small matter, and Jizhou is a big thing. I will rest for one night, and tomorrow I will send an envoy to Jizhou for Yuan Gong, and strive to move Han Fu to surrender. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, although he was still pretending to be worried, he could not suppress the joy in his heart.

On the second day, Yuan Shao pointed out to Chen Nuo and one person: "This is General Yan Liang, and he will escort you to Jizhou." ”

Yan Liangren is tall and big, dressed in armor, holding a thick-backed knife, and staring at the sky with two bull's eyes. Hearing Yuan Shao's guidance, he reluctantly glanced at Chen Nuo with low eyebrows, which was regarded as greeting Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo didn't mind, and bowed to Yan Liang: "General Lao Yan has taken care of him all the way." ”

"Hmm!"

Yan Liang snorted, didn't care about Chen Nuo, turned around, pulled the mount and was about to climb up. Maybe it's because you're in a hurry, or maybe your eyes don't look at the stirrups at all, and your feet are empty, and your body is falling forward. If it weren't for Chen Nuo's quick eyes and quick hands, he immediately supported him, and he would almost be embarrassed.

Lu Yi's eyes were sharp, and he couldn't help laughing: "General Yan, it's better to drink less wine in the army." ”

When the others heard this, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yan Liang climbed onto the horse, turned his head and glared at Lu Yi, his face was already red. He didn't argue with him, turned the thick-backed knife, the blade was straight at Lu Yi, snorted his nose, and shouted: "If you are not convinced, you will come to fight with a certain one!" ”

Lu Yi was originally born in Xiliang, he would fight if he wanted to, and he would kill if he wanted to, and he had never been afraid of anyone. Hearing Yan Liangyi's words, his face darkened, and he was about to draw his sword to meet him, but fortunately, Chen Nuo quickly stopped him, and he saw that an unnecessary fight was avoided.

Chen Nuo had just finished persuading him here, and his sleeves were pulled.

When I turned around, it was Feng Ji.

Feng Ji took a glass of water and wine, cracked his mouth, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Chen, oh, no, I should call you General Chen!" I have been an official for so many years, and I haven't seen anyone who can see you like this, it's really an eye-opener for me!

I don't want Yuan Gong to give you a lieutenant, but you are willing to be a little Dubo and manage a mere fifty people, I don't know what you think. But I admire you very much for your motivation to know the current affairs, and I don't want to say anything else, I will give you a glass of respect for Ji! ”

Feng Ji said, and drank all the water and wine in the cup.

Chen Nuo also took a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Let Lord Feng see you smile." My lord, you are still satisfied with this way, right? ”

Feng Ji Lao closed his eyes, patted Chen Nuo's shoulder, and whispered to him: "General Chen Xiao knows how to make trade-offs, and knows what to touch and what not to touch. Well, that's good! Do a good job, young people will always have a chance to get ahead. ”

Seeing Feng Ji leave, Chen Nuo put the water and wine into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

Say goodbye to everyone, and Chen Nuo will also go on the road.

This time, in order to ensure the smooth dispatch of the mission, Yuan Shao not only asked Yan Liang to escort him with thousands of people from his headquarters, but also sent some civilian officials to serve as Chen Nuo's staff officers, and he could also give ideas for Chen Nuo if necessary.

Everyone took the road and went straight to Ye County. Along the way, in addition to encountering some small thieves, Yan Liang was scared out of the horse, but it was quite smooth, this day just out of the Yin realm, it was the sky was high, and suddenly the detective reported that a group of people and horses blocked the road.

Yan Liang didn't say a word, put the thick-backed knife on one side, and said to Chen Nuo: "A certain is in front, and an adult is in the back!" ”

Although Chen Nuo's military position is no more than Dubo, he is much younger than Yan Liang's other Sima, but he has the identity of an envoy, and he is an envoy to Jizhou on behalf of Yuan Shao, and seeing him is like seeing Yuan Shao, so Yan Liang's voice is still not wronged.

Although Yan Liang doesn't like to deal with people, and his temper is more arrogant, Chen Nuo can tolerate it, and after getting along for the past two days, the two have been fine.

As soon as Chen Nuo heard what he said, he asked him to be more careful, and he led the others to walk slowly, following closely behind Yan Liang. Yan Liang led the cavalry forward to open the way, but before he could go dozens of feet away, another cavalry reported: "General, according to the investigation, the other party is playing the banner of my Yuan army, but I don't know which general it is!" ”

originally wanted to fight, but when he heard what the detective said, Yan Liang raised his eyebrows: "This is the realm of Han Fu, how can there be Yuan Gong's people?" Revisit! ”

Yan Liang drove the horse and continued to move forward with the cavalry, but he didn't go far, the scout rode back, and reported to Yan Liang: "General, the other party is indeed playing the banner of the Yuan family, but I still can't know which general it is." ”

As soon as the ride was finished, another ride came from behind, but they were men and horses from elsewhere.

The rider approached, saw Yan Liang from a distance, quickly rolled off the horse, stepped forward on his knees, and asked, "May I ask who is on the horse, but General Yan Liangyan, the general of Yuan Che's subordinates?" ”

When Yuan Shao raised troops to defeat Dong Zhuo, he was just a small Bohai Taishou, and in order to raise his own value, he proclaimed himself the general of the chariot cavalry, so it is not wrong for people to call Yuan Shao Yuan Cheqi.

When Yan Liang heard this, his eyes rolled up, and his nose snorted: "It's General Ben, who is your general?" How to play my Yuan Gong banner? ”

When the rider heard this, he hurriedly said: "General, don't misunderstand! Although the general of my family is a subordinate of Han Fu, he has always admired Yuan Cheqi and always missed serving Yuan Cheqi, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity. I heard that General Yan Liang was going to pass through this place recently, so my general had no choice but to make this decision and let the army play the banner of Yuan Cheqi, just hoping that General Yan would not mistake him for an enemy when he saw it. ”

When Yan Liang heard what he said, he laughed: "In this way, does your general want to abandon the dark and follow the light, and is willing to return to my family Yuan Gong from Han Fu's camp?" ”

"Exactly! Precisely! ”

The cavalry under the horse kowtowed repeatedly.

Chen Nuo had already stepped forward at this time, asked the reason for the matter, and then pointed to the man on the ground and said: "Since he is a general who has abandoned darkness and turned to light, since he should let him come to see us immediately, do you want us to go over to meet him?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

The man was so frightened that he hurriedly got up, and said, "Wait a minute, generals, and let my general lead people to meet the generals." So saying, the man ran back, seized the horse, stepped on the stirrup, and mounted it.

Not long after, the smoke and dust in front of him were heavy, and a group of people had already appeared, not to mention three or five hundred people, and sure enough, they were all under the banner of the Yuan family.

Chen Nuo was still motionless, letting the horses swing out and wait for the battle. It was only when they all rolled off the saddle and lost their weapons that they told Yan Liang that they could surrender.

The first of them stood up and bowed loudly: "Hanoi Zhu Han is coming!" ”
