Of course, Lu Bu's subordinates all provoked Zhu Ling, which was equivalent to provoking him Chen Nuo, but Chen Nuo finally ignored this matter, not that he Chen Nuo was easy to bully, or that Chen Nuo was weak. The most fundamental reason why Chen Nuo is willing to settle matters and take a step back in this matter is that he doesn't want to make trouble at this time. After all, the great enemy was Gongsun Chan outside the city, not Lu Bu. What's more, he was in charge of Nanpi's defense at this time, and in order to win this battle, he needed to unite all the forces that could be united, and it would be irrational to have a stalemate with Lu Bu because of this trivial matter. Moreover, because of the 'material' matter, he and Lu Bu have a little friction, and it is really not appropriate to have any other conflicts with Lu Bu at this time.

In view of this, for the conflict between Zhu Ling's subordinates and Lu Bu's subordinates, Chen Nuo adopted the principle of turning big things into small things, and just forced them to be suppressed. Although the matter is temporary, it is not difficult to find a series of problems as a general Zhu Ling from this matter, which really makes Chen Nuo extremely worried. As a general, he couldn't even suppress his subordinates, and almost became a hidden danger, such a thing is really rare, at least it is rare to see it in Chen Nuo's army. In the past, Chen Nuo only heard about Zhu Ling's 'weakness' by accident, although he said a few words about Zhu Ling alone, but he didn't take it to heart, after all, he was in charge of the Chinese army at that time, and the team was basically led by him personally, so there was no need to worry about problems such as bullets not being suppressed. However, as his team continued to grow, in order to facilitate leadership, it was inevitable to separate the team and be led by other generals alone, becoming a collateral line outside the direct line. In this way, a group of veteran generals like Zhu Ling and Pan Zhang naturally have to lead the army alone. No, the team hasn't been with it for long, and there is a problem on Zhu Ling's side, which is really a headache for Chen Nuo.

For what happened today, it was obvious that Zhu Ling was also very guilty, and he couldn't raise his head in front of Chen Nuo, in order to show his fault, he even voluntarily handed over the military power and no longer led the troops alone. Regarding Zhu Ling's 'heart-wrenching' words, Chen Nuo of course ignored them. If he wants to develop, he must expand the army into an establishment, and now that he has finally improved slightly, how can he easily say that he will withdraw? What's more, even if he has the urge to 'remove' him from his post, he has to consider whether the time is not ripe, how can he do it easily? For this reason, Chen Nuo ignored his request, but turned his head and said: "I can not pursue today's matter for the time being, but being troubled by you like this will inevitably not affect it well, so I still have to punish you a little, which can be regarded as a ...... It's kind of making up for it. ”

When Zhu Ling heard this, he hurriedly said: "What is the order, but please ask Chen Hou to command!" ”

Chen Nuo nodded, beckoned to him, and whispered two words in his ear, Zhu Ling was slightly dumbfounded when he heard it, and then said: "Chen Hou's order will not dare not listen, then, if Chen Hou wants to let me wait for the generals to make up for it, why not let me wait to rush into battle to kill the enemy, how can I still ......" Chen Nuo glanced at him, his face froze, and said: "What, I don't understand this order General Zhu or don't want to listen?" As soon as Chen Nuo said this, Zhu Ling's body sank, and he hurriedly said: "Chen Hou has a life, and the last general will dare not obey, but please rest assured that Chen Hou will definitely do it!" ”

Chen Nuo looked at him with such a clear look, and he didn't feel funny, so he patted him lightly on the shoulder twice, and said, "Then bother Wenbo and you go down to prepare for your life." Zhu Ling nodded, didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and was about to walk away. Wait! Chen Nuo suddenly said: "Wenbo, you treat the soldiers too 'doting', although you can be happy with the doctors and soldiers for a while, but sometimes it may not be a good thing." If you control the 'degree' well, the soldier will use it for you, but if you don't control it well, it will become a monstrous wave and harm you, you must remember it! ”

Chen Nuo left this sentence, did not delay any longer, and instantly returned to the front army tent with his men and horses. On his side, because of the dispute between Lu Bu and Zhu Ling's subordinates, he thought of a move to deal with Gongsun Zhan, so he immediately went back to the camp to make arrangements. By the time Gongsun Zhan's men and horses came to Nanpi City again the next day, Chen Nuo's side was also ready to deal with it. Gongsun Zhan failed to capture Nanpi City, of course, he was unwilling, so he did not hesitate to spend manpower and material resources to carry out a large-scale attack on Nanpi City again.

The battlefield is unusually tragic. The arrows in the sky, rolling wood, hit each other, the hot 'golden juice' was like boiling, pouring on the top of the thief's head, and from time to time there was a tragic cry of pain from the thief. The rushing carts under the city pushed up, and kept banging against the city gates, and crossbow arrows shot out of the opposite well, bringing heart-rending screams. On both sides, they fought to their heart's content, and no one was soft. Here, the consequence of softness is nothing more than a brutal deprivation of one's own life. The shouts of killing never stopped.

Tuk tuk, Zhu Ling turned around from the city, but met the general Pan Zhang. Pan Zhang looked at the beads of sweat on Zhu Ling's head, his eyes turned, and he wondered in his heart, and hurriedly stopped him and said, "Why don't you see General Zhu when you defend the city today?" Hey, what is General Zhu doing, his clothes and armor are all wet, don't tell me it's all wet with sweat, right? Or did you fall into the pool and take a bath? When Zhu Ling saw Pan Zhang, he didn't have time to answer him, so he walked straight forward with two steps in three steps. Pan Zhang had never seen Zhu Ling in such a hurry, seeing that he didn't reply, he didn't mean to ask the end, shook his head, and smiled. Here, he raised his head, and suddenly saw that the city wall in front of him seemed to be broken through from below, so he quickly shouted, drew his blade, and rushed up with men and horses.

Zhu Ling didn't answer Pan Zhang's words, naturally because his task was urgent, so he didn't care about talking to Pan Zhang, so he went directly to Chen Nuo. Chen Nuo was directly in front of the command to carry out a blocking battle against the enemy outside the city. Here, when he saw Chen Nuo's back, he immediately stepped forward, bowed his hand to Chen Nuo, and said loudly: "Chen Hou, the last general has already followed your orders, and everything is ready." Chen Nuo was still commanding the men and horses to fight against the enemy, and when he heard Zhu Ling speak, he didn't look back, nodded and said: "The 'golden juice' has just been used up, and there is an urgent need for a replacement, Wenbo, you came just in time, hurry up and let people bring things up!" ”

"No!" Zhu Ling responded, and immediately turned around and walked away, taking his men and horses with his subordinates from time to time, carrying the water into the city. Chen Nuo turned around and saw it, nodded, and immediately asked Rang to carry the water to the various cities, and then distribute it, just waiting for him to give an order. He saw that the water prepared by Zhu Ling's department was quite sufficient, so he immediately found Zhu Ling and asked, "I don't know where you got so much living water at one time?" "You know, it's winter, the river in the city is dry due to the season, the amount of water stored is very small, and in the cold winter season, many water sources are frozen, it is not easy to get living water, let alone such a large amount. When Zhu Ling heard this, he smiled embarrassedly and said: "The last general originally wanted to chisel ice to get water, but there was not much water under the ice, so he had no choice but to set up a pot, put the ice cubes in the iron pot and melt it first, and then take water." ”

Chen Nuo laughed, and praised Zhu Ling's flexible head. He asked Zhu Ling to fetch water, just to give him the opportunity to make up for his mistakes. Of course, if only Zhu Ling was allowed to fetch water, it would not be enough to achieve his goal of using water to retreat from the enemy, so in addition to Zhu Ling's arrangement to fetch water, the rest of Zhang Sheng and other troops had actually made arrangements after he returned to the account yesterday, and they all put down the task of resisting the enemy for the time being, and all of them were sent to find water sources. After Zhu Ling ordered someone to carry the water up, soon Zhang Sheng and other troops also sent the water source they found to the city one after another. In this way, the accumulation of small amounts and buckets of water were placed under the battlements, which was quite spectacular, waiting for Chen Nuo's order.

"The 'Golden Juice' has run out!" "The 'Golden Juice' has run out!" ……

Hearing reports from everywhere, Chen Nuo leaned down and glanced at the city. Below the city, the thieves had to postpone the attack because the 'Golden Juice' at the head of the city was too fast, but with the 'Golden Juice' running out, the thieves' activities became enthusiastic, and they stepped on the ladder and rushed up again, and the momentum was much more courageous than before. Chen Nuo snorted, and then made a move in his hand and ordered: "Release the water!" With his command, the flag waved, and everywhere the battlements, the wrestlers raised their tanks, and they all looked at the wall and poured water.

The rushing water was like a big hole in the sky, bubbling down. Below the city, the thieves who had just been stinking with the 'golden juice' were suddenly splashed on their bodies by this cold water from the sky, and they were also stunned. A moment earlier, they thought that the enemy had splashed water for no reason, and that the water must have been mixed with harmful substances. thought that as long as he was poured by the other party's cold water, he would be dead. However, when they found out that there was nothing unusual, and they washed away the stench from their bodies, they screamed with joy. Of course, although they don't understand this practice of thieves, they are more ridiculed, and no one takes it seriously.

It is also true that this kind of water poured on their bodies, except for giving them a cold shower, has no additional effect at all, and has not significantly affected their combat effectiveness. The battle went on like this, and even Gongsun Chan felt very funny when he heard that Chen Nuo asked him to do this. However, it seems too early to say that it is funny, and as time goes by, from the dull weather in the morning to the cold wind in the afternoon, Gongsun Chan finally knows the power of 'cold water'.

At first, they were unwell and began to be cold; After that, it was the discomfort of the whole battlefield, which became extremely passive. On the contrary, Chen Nuo's side, on the contrary, gradually grasped the initiative.
