"I remember who was ashamed to say that as long as Bohai was sent to Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Zhan's southward army could be relieved? But what I see now is that Gongsun Fan took my Bohai seal, not only did it not play its due role, but once he arrived, he immediately cut off my Jizhou envoy, mentioned the Bohai soldiers, and colluded with that Gongsun Zhan! ”

When Yuan Shao said this, his eyes stared at Chen Nuo, and the corners of his mouth made a terrible sound: "General Chen, what else do you have to say about this matter?" Don't you tell me that this idea has nothing to do with you? ”

Chen Nuo left the camp and was urged to enter the city by the messengers sent by Yuan Shao all the way, and he couldn't delay for a moment. When he was still in the camp, Zhao Xue was already muttering, in fact, he had already guessed that it was probably Gongsun Fan's affair. Since he already had a countermeasure, he was not panicked at all in the face of the criticism of Yuan Shao and others at this time.

When Chen Nuo heard Yuan Shao's roll call, he stood up without hesitation, pretending to be surprised: "Hmm, it's impossible, right?" Thinking that although Gongsun Fan is Gongsun Zhan's cousin, he has been in the hands of Yuan Gong for a long time, and now let him go back, he should be grateful to Yuan Gong to some extent, how could he suddenly do such an unrighteous thing?

To tell you the truth, the reason why the last general dared to make this proposal in the first place was to some extent consider these. But now it seems that ...... Ah, the last general understands that Gongsun Fan is just a cunning person, and he really can't be trusted. ”

When Yuan Shao heard Chen Nuo say this, he was angry and funny in his heart, when was it, Gongsun Fan had already committed the crime, was it too late to wake up at this time? However, he also heard the meaning of Chen Nuo's words, thinking that Gongsun Fan had been with him for so long, and the person who knew him best should be him Yuan Benchu; Now that the incident has happened, he has to take some responsibility.

What's more, he was selfish in this matter, and the reason why he allowed it in the first place was because he himself had such a fluke mentality. But now that the incident has happened, I am somewhat glad that I still have some foresight, and with Chen Nuo, I am not afraid of others talking.

Yuan Shao waved his sleeves, snorted coldly, and said, "General Chen, you only understand now, is it too late?" Thinking that Gongsun Zhan was already difficult to deal with, now he was happy to have his cousin Gongsun Fan Ti Bohai's soldiers to help him, which can be said to be claws with the tiger, and it is bound to be even more rampant.

And the reason why these things happened is all because of you alone, and my Jizhou will also suffer great hardships because of you. What else do you have to say? ”

Chen Nuo nodded: "Judging from the current situation, the last general really has nothing to say......

Before Chen Nuo could say a word, Yuan Shao immediately made a decision: "Since this is the case, come here!" ”

Yuan Shao shouted the order, and two people with halberds immediately rushed in outside, and went to the next station in the hall, full of murderous spirit.

Before Yuan Shao could speak, the Tang Shanglu Yi immediately jumped out and said loudly: "General! The reason why General Chen had this proposal at the beginning was really for the sake of the general, you and Jizhou, and his sincere heart must be seen! Moreover, when Gongsun Fan was a general in the hands of the general, the general did not see his true face, let alone General Chen?

Originally, the general allowed Gongsun Fan to go to Bohai to take up his post, which could only be regarded as a gamble. If Gongsun Fan is grateful, he will naturally win this game; Of course, if you lose, there is actually nothing to say, and it is a big deal to ask Bohai back. A deal like this is originally a win-or-lose, half-chance opportunity, and when you let him go, you should have been prepared for this. So this matter can't be blamed on General Chen, but only Gongsun Fan is too treacherous! ”

Lu Yi's words are straightforward, but it is not unreasonable, and many people responded to Lu Yi and pleaded for Chen Nuo.

Yuan Shao looked at Lu Yi, and the cold in his eyes grew.

He originally designed to rebel against Lu Yi from Han Fu and dig him into his own camp, so that he could serve him with all his heart; It's just that since Chen Nuo came, he didn't understand, once this kid knew that Chen Nuo had any grievances, he immediately went out of his way to speak for Chen Nuo, and he tolerated him several times, but for some reason he still didn't see restraint?

For Chen Nuo, although he knew that his talent could be of great use, he still used it on the one hand, and on the other hand, he guarded against suspicion.

Originally, in Chen Nuo's persuasion of Han Fu to surrender, he killed at the beginning of his entry into the city. After all, Jizhou is his Jizhou, and he doesn't want someone else to have a great merit when someone talks about Jizhou's origin in the future.

As for not doing it in the end, in the end, because Chen Nuo did not handle Han Fu properly, he was so 'self-staining' reputation, so he let go of Chen Nuo, and he temporarily let him go.

As for the fact that he later arranged him to the military camp, and constantly promoted and appointed him, promoting him from a small military official to another Sima who could lead troops to fight alone, it was really because of the reality that he was forced to do so, and secondly, because he wanted to take this opportunity to see Chen Nuo's ability.

He put Chen Nuo into the camp, which was carefully considered. Although Chen Nuo has 'self-defiled', he is the biggest hero in Jizhou after all, even if he has no other ideas, he is afraid that other ministers will befriend him and threaten his rule in Jizhou. And if it is put into the camp, it can be regarded as appeasing Chen Nuo a little; Second, once Chen Nuo has military affairs, it will be inconvenient to go out from now on, and he will be isolated from the outside world, so naturally he will not have the opportunity to contact the foreign ministers again, and he will not be afraid of causing trouble.

As for the temporary transfer back to Wenchou outside Liyang City and let him lead the troops alone, firstly, he was also annoyed by the troubles of Montenegro Yu Poison and the King of the Huns, but secondly, it was his selfishness.

He initially decided on Jizhou, and the reason why he sent troops to Yuzhou to fight Sun Jian for Yangcheng in the first battle was really to give his younger brother Yuan Shu a dismount. More importantly, he wanted to show the people of the world that he, Yuan Shao, could not only lead Jizhou, but also assign his protégés to sit in other counties and counties.

Although he had this bear heart, he was initially decided in Jizhou, although he sent troops, he was not at ease in the end, and finally called back to the Wenchou Department halfway. He originally wanted to let Chen Nuo come back together, but he was afraid that Zhou Ang would stick to Yangcheng's heart, so he deliberately promoted Chen Nuo to let him lead the troops alone, but did not give him a supplement to the source of troops, which was regarded as a means to restrain Chen Nuo.

As long as Chen Nuo sends troops, first, he can show Zhou Ang and others that he Yuan Shao still attaches importance to Yuzhou, and second, he can take this opportunity to see Chen Nuo's ability. Of course, he knew very well in his heart that even if Chen Nuo summoned soldiers and horses, in terms of his first time leading troops, no matter how powerful he was, how could he be an opponent like Sun Jian who could recruit good fighters? At that time, Lu Yi and other generals also opposed it vigorously, but Yuan Shao still insisted on going his own way.

He thought very clearly, if Chen Nuo succeeded, he would only praise him a few words; If he failed, even if he didn't die at the hands of Sun Jian, he would just use this incident to kill Chen Nuo, a person who had no use value, and get rid of future troubles forever.

It's just that Chen Nuo not only defeated Sun Jian, but also killed Gongsun Yue's Youzhou Iron Cavalry, which made him have no other plans. He thought that when he was assassinated in the big tent before, Chen Nuo had saved his life after all, so he also had a good impression of Chen Nuo. Since he is so powerful, you don't have to rush to solve him, you can use it if you can.

Therefore, after Chen Nuo returned to Jizhou, because Gongsun Zhan forced him too hard, although he hesitated several times whether to send Chen Nuo in exchange for a temporary stability in Jizhou, even just now, the moment he called the halberd soldier to come in, he did not make up his mind to kill Chen Nuo. However, the wording of Lu Yi and the pleas of everyone suddenly aroused Yuan Shao's murderous intent.

He is not afraid of using Chen Nuo, what he is afraid of is that Chen Nuo has won the hearts of the people, and it will be difficult to end in the future. A Lu Yi still helped him like this, if Chen Nuo had any bad thoughts in the future, wouldn't he be even more unable to move him?

Chen Nuo saw that Yuan Shao didn't speak for a while, and the murderous aura in his eyes grew stronger, and he was also afraid in his heart. Before Yuan Shao made up his mind, he immediately smiled and said, "Yuan Gong, all the lords and generals!" Actually, you have all misunderstood the last general, please let the last general finish his words. ”

Yuan Shao withdrew his fierce gaze slightly, waved his hand, and motioned for the Euphorbia to not step forward for the time being, but he glanced at Chen Nuo and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Chen Nuo arched his hand and said: "General Lu was right just now, I suggested that Gongsun Fan be released as the Bohai Taishou, but in fact, the opportunity can only be half of each, so the last general didn't have much hope. Now that the matter has reached this field, it is useless to blame anyone, so I ask Yuan Gong to calm his anger......"

Yuan Shao heard Chen Nuo's words, his body shook, and he smiled: "What you said is simple!" ”

"Actually......"

When Chen Nuo said this, his tone softened slightly, and then said, "Actually, this matter is not without room for relaxation......

Yuan Shao was slightly stunned, knowing that Chen Nuo had never said anything he was not sure about, he looked at Chen Nuo fixedly: "General Chen, make your words clear." ”

Chen Nuo arched his hand: "It's very simple, presumably Yuan Gong already knows about Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe......"

Speaking of which, Chen Nuo still heard about this matter from Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, how could Yuan Shao not know?

Yuan Shao glanced at Chen Nuo, and then nodded: "Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiao and the Yellow Turban are not effective in resisting the yellow scarf, and they have become ill from hard work, and they have died of illness in the house a few days ago. Although it was in Qingzhou, I had to send the news a few days ago, how could General Ben not know about this matter? ”

Chen Nuo nodded and smiled: "That's right!" I heard that there are millions of yellow turbans in Qingzhou, if it weren't for the scorching history, I am afraid that the sky would have been turned upside down. But now that Jiao Shi has died suddenly, I am afraid that this group of yellow scarves will make even more trouble.

I heard that when Jiao Thorn Shi was still alive, because of the rumors that hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain troops on the other side of the river were about to move, they wanted to pour into Qingzhou to join the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and he had already taken precautions at that time. In addition, it was winter at this time, and Jiao Tingshi was afraid that once the river froze, the group of Black Mountain troops would enter the Qingzhou territory from the ice. In order to prevent these things from happening, he also invented some kind of ice trapping pills and the like, trying to dissolve the ice. However, once the scorching history dies, I am only afraid of ......"

Chen Nuo didn't continue, he glanced at Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was not stupid, and his group of strategists also seemed to smell a hint of uneasiness. Yuan Shao's eyes rolled, and he didn't let Chen Nuo continue, but quietly glanced at Feng Ji. Feng Ji stroked his beard, a pair of eyes that were in tacit agreement with him, and nodded.

Chen Nuo also read something from their intersecting eyes, so he paused for what he said.

Now that everything has been said here, you might as well sell Yuan Shao a face and finish what you should say.

Chen Nuo arched his hand and said: "This, the so-called country cannot be left without an owner for a day, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe is now dead, Qingzhou is in chaos, at this time, Yuan Gong can't sit idly by."

I want to be the son of today and controlled by thieves, and Qingzhou borders my Jizhou, Yuan Gong has the reputation of the fourth and third dukes, at this critical juncture, it is the duty to select the available people to serve as the governor, thinking that the Son of Heaven is worried! ”

Yuan Shao liked this sentence the most, nodded, pretended to be worried, and asked Chen Nuo: "According to General Chen's meaning, who do you think is suitable in my house to take over the post of Qingzhou Assassin?" ”

Chen Nuo didn't think about it at all, and immediately said, "Yuan Gong's eldest son, Tan Gangmeng. Tall, good martial arts, but also humble, treat people and things thoughtfully, stealing the most suitable! ”

Although he knew that what Chen Nuo said was a bit exaggerated, after all, he knew his son best, but he never got tired of hearing good words, let alone praising his son in front of everyone? Yuan Shao was of course very happy to accept it at this time, and unconsciously stretched out his hand and gently stroked his beard.

If he wanted to talk about this matter, he thought of it as early as the night he heard about Jiao He's death. He also intended to pull his eldest son out to exercise, but because there was no suitable opportunity, he kept pressing the table. At this moment, he didn't expect that the first one to propose it was Chen Nuo, which surprised him.

Since he coincided with his original intentions, he didn't feel that he had a good impression of Chen Nuo, and completely forgot about killing him.

But he also knew very well that Chen Nuo didn't just propose, and he couldn't agree immediately, but he could use this matter to probe everyone's mouth.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Nuo's words came out, all the civil and military officers were talking to each other, and it was obvious that their opinions could not be unified with each other.

Tian Feng was a straight man, he stood up first, and said bluntly: "The eldest prince is not fierce, but he is afraid of being reckless!" Like Yu Poison and the Huns, the reason why they rebelled out of Yecheng is that the eldest prince is Torai! said that he was good at martial arts, hum, but his hands were a little restrained. As for being humble and dealing with others, forgive abundance! Not to mention anything else, how can such people trust the state affairs alone? General Chen, stop kidding! ”

Yuan Shao didn't expect that his eldest son Yuan Tan was so unbearable in Tian Feng's mouth, and he was almost about to pull out a knife to kill someone, but fortunately he was beaten by Chen Nuo and covered up in time: "Tian Yuanjun is afraid that he misunderstood Yuan Dagongzi because of Yu Poison, so he is unreasonable, and he misheard people's words, and it is not surprising that he said these words." ”

After Tian Feng sat down, Fu Zhu stood up again, and also objected: "This case must not be opened!" The son of a general is certainly precious, but in this way, it will not only chill the hearts of the backwards, but also become the beginning of the trouble. ”

Yuan Shao looked at the frustrated professor without moving, didn't say it on his lips, and said in his heart: "How can it be that there is a small Qingzhou, there are four sons alone, and there are four states in Hebei, and the lonely will make one son take one state affair!" ”

Of course, one of the four sons in Yuan Shao's mouth is actually his nephew Gao Gan, who is the son of his sister. He looked up to this son very much, and treated him as his own son. The other three sons, except for the eldest son Yuan Tan, the other two are the second son Yuan Xi and the younger son Yuan Shang, but they are still young.

Since the opposition is so loud, he doesn't want to make things stiff, so he puts the matter aside for the time being and lets everyone quarrel.

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and suddenly a person rushed in from outside. When Chen Nuo saw it, it turned out to be Yuan Tan.

Since Yuan Tan was rescued from Montenegro by Chen Nuo last time, he has become more and more respectful of Chen Nuo in his heart. Thinking that Chen Nuo is a good person, not only is he righteous, but also smart and courageous, if he really lets go to Qingzhou to exercise in the future, he will definitely be able to use it, so he has the heart to win over Chen Nuo.

It's just that when he was in the house, he heard that Chen Nuo was suddenly urgently summoned into the city, and he heard about Gongsun Fan, and he was afraid that his father Yuan Shao would blame Chen Nuo for this matter, so he immediately rushed over.

As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw the two halberd warriors standing there motionless, and the atmosphere in the hall was unusual, so he thought that his father was going to attack Chen Nuo, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saw Yuan Shao.

Without waiting for Yuan Shao to speak, he immediately said to Yuan Shao: "Father! Tan Er remembered what happened before, and she still shuddered. I think that if General Chen hadn't gone deep into the Black Mountain alone and rescued Tan Er from the tiger's den, I am afraid that it would be difficult to see your father again.

It's just that up to now, Tan Er has been busy recuperating from her illness, and she hasn't had time to thank General Chen for saving his life that day. The so-called grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by springs, let alone such kindness......"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he smiled, he understood the meaning of his words.

It is also a coincidence that Chen Nuo not only saved him, but now he has also saved his eldest son, it seems that his father and son owe Chen Nuo this kindness, and it really can't be erased for a while.

Since his son has the intention of feeding, he doesn't have to cause Chen Nuo to die, he has no intention of asking Chen Nuo about Gongsun Fan at this time, and he also intends to let him go. Hearing Yuan Tan's words here, he also happened to take advantage of this to get off the donkey down the slope.

Yuan Shao smiled, waved his hand, and said, "If my son has anything, just say it directly." ”

Yuan Tan said: "Tan Er is not talented, he has prepared some thin wine in the mansion, and I want to invite General Chen to come over the mansion and chat to express my gratitude." If there is no matter of General Chen here, Tan Er wants to ask General Chen to come over, I don't know ...... father."

Yuan Shao glanced at Chen Nuo and said, "I understand Tan Er's intentions, but you are also too Meng Lang, you haven't asked General Chen if you agree, how can you ask me first?" ”

When Yuan Tan heard this, he expressed his negligence, and immediately walked in front of Chen Nuo and respectfully invited Chen Nuo to come to Yuan's mansion for a banquet. This can be regarded as giving Chen Nuo enough face, and Chen Nuo just took the opportunity to slip away. Just to test Yuan Shao's original intention, he still let Yuan Shao allow it first, and when Yuan Shao nodded, Chen Nuofang knew that Yuan Shao really agreed, so he retired with Yuan Tan.
