Shaanxi County, Xiliang Niu Auxiliary Army Battalion.

In the camp tent, the general Niu Fu sat in the main seat, and his subordinates included Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu and others.

"This ...... That's the way it is, so feel free to say what you think. ”

After General Niu Fu finished speaking, his eyes looked at the people under his tent.

At that time, Li Su and his entourage in Chang'an had already passed Hongnong City and came to Shaanxi County, and it was not a few days before they were about to come here, and Niu Fu naturally had to prepare when he got the news here. No, after he heard the news, he immediately summoned the people under the tent to come to the tent to discuss the matter. Li Su's coming represents the imperial court after Dong Zhuo, conveying the meaning of the imperial court, and it is related to the future of Xiliang.

Therefore, when speaking, the atmosphere in the tent was inevitably depressing, and everyone only listened to Niu Fu, and few spoke easily. At this time, Niu Fu asked, and the people under the tent were all silent, each puffing up their hearts, thinking about it, thinking that their own fate was still in the hands of others, and they couldn't help but feel worried. After Niu Fu said a word, everyone was silent for half a quarter of an hour, and before they could speak, they were startled by the sound of tuk tuk outside the tent. With a bang, the tent door opened, and a lazy general walked in.

"General Niu, Mr. Jia!"

"Huh! General Hu, what's wrong with you? ”

What walked in outside the tent was Hu Chi'er, a general who had just returned from the defeat of Tianwangzhai, and as soon as he entered the tent, he didn't even have time to let people report it, so he broke in. In fact, there is no need to be surprised, thinking that Hu Chi'er is Niu Fu's henchman, and he has been straight to Niu Fu's account since he came to Niu Fu's account, so why do you need to report it. It's just that he came in with blood stains at this time, and broke in recklessly, and suddenly saw that the people under the tent were all black, and he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think about anything else, and walked in with his feet up.

Niu Fu, Jia Xu and the others, who were in deep thought, were also surprised when they saw Hu Chi'er suddenly enter the account, and glanced at each other. When I saw Hu Chi'er full of laziness and looked like a general, they were all shocked and asked.

As soon as Hu Chi'er came in, he bowed down to Niu Fu, and the big lama pleaded guilty and talked about the defeat of the Tianwang Village.

Speaking of which, the battle of Tianwangzhai was really dangerous and exciting. Thinking about it, he was so smooth before, he was invited to the third pass, and he saw that he could win the third pass without blood, and then control Tianwangzhai. However, first encountered Zuo Leng's resolute resistance at the third pass, leaving more than 1,000 people behind; Later, he finally attacked the mountain, and saw that the situation was about to open, but he was blocked by more than 200 black armor troops led by Chen Nuo, so that the two sides were in a tug-of-war situation; Not to mention, the most embarrassing thing is that he didn't hit Chen Nuo with an arrow, but was chased and killed by Zhu Rong Qingyi, and it hit his heart, causing him to flee in a hurry to save his life, so that the situation was out of control, and finally the other party succeeded with a 'rumor' strategy, so that his subordinates mistakenly thought that he had died in battle, which forced him to withdraw his troops and go down the mountain.

Of course, if Hu Chi'er wanted to escape smoothly, he also knew that it was impossible. It was precisely because he was chased by Zhang Baiqi and other pursuers that he was in a hurry, so he took advantage of the terrain under the mountain and set up an ambush on the spot. He is ready to capture Zhang Baiqi alive with the strategy of 'stacking soldiers', in an attempt to overturn the results of the battle, maybe he can turn defeat into victory. However, it is man who is not as good as heaven. His Xiliang cavalry was first tripped by Chen Nuo, and then rescued Colonel Zuo from the trapped formation by Gao Shun, who suddenly came out of the periphery, so that they completed the flanking attack in the front and back, which broke his last hope for Hu Chi'er. In the face of the current situation, of course, his subordinates began to persuade Hu Chi'er, and Hu Chi'er also knew that it was useless to fight again, and it was better to stay useful and take revenge in the future.

It was precisely after thinking of this that he Hu Chi'er immediately took his henchmen and others out of the battlefield and fled into the dense forest. Fleeing all the way, Hu Chi'er did not dare to relax in the slightest, and he was extremely embarrassed, although he was not caught up by the people of Tianwangzhai, but he also lost a lot of people and horses due to serious injuries along the way. To this day, he has entered the camp of the Niu Auxiliary Army, and the men and horses brought back by Hu Chi'er are only a few dozen horses, and almost all of them are wounded.

As soon as Hu Chi'er told him about the things before and after, everyone was shocked and discussed, even Niu Fu couldn't help but move, and shouted: "Chi'er! What nonsense are you talking about, what I handed over to you is three thousand Xiliang soldiers, how can you be easily defeated by a group of bandits, are you joking with General Ben? ”

Hu Chi'er frowned, and hurriedly said: "General, the general can't afford to make this joke, and he doesn't dare to make this joke with you, the general." But it was true that at the end of the battle, the general was indeed defeated, and only a few dozen brothers returned......"

"Ahem, ahem!"

The scheming Jia Xu immediately coughed twice, interrupted Hu Chi'er's words, and gave Niu Fu a look, asking Niu Fu not to chase after this matter. If it is usual, of course, this matter must be studied deeply, but now the situation, Li Suzhi came, before the attitude of the imperial court was clear, the hearts of Xiliang people were already unstable, and at this time, deliberately mentioning Hu Chi'er's defeat would be tantamount to making matters worse, and it would inevitably cause people to be more uneasy, so Jia Xu saw that the momentum was not good, so he quickly stopped Hu Chi'er's words.

Seeing that Hu Chi'er had shut up, Jia Xu also immediately swallowed and said: "This, General Hu, I think General Niu is right, I want to come to the general's 3,000 men and horses are all Xiliang soldiers, how can a few thieves in Wangzhai be the general's opponent that day?" When the general said this, it was not a drunken remark, why don't you go down and sober up first, and then discuss this matter after the wine sobers up? ”

Hu Chi'er was stunned for a moment, didn't understand, and immediately shook his head and said: "Uh, Mr. Jia, how can Chi'er talk nonsense like this, it's really ......"

Niu Fu in front of the handsome case, he still didn't understand what Jia Xu meant, and when he heard Hu Chi'er's words, he had the heart to care. He straightened up and said: "Chi'er, this matter is your fault, I think you just said it clearly, the three most difficult levels of Dao have been taken by you, what else can be difficult to stop Chi'er?" But Chi'er, you actually fought like this in the end, which really made General Ben feel cold to you. ”

Hu Chi'er was taught a lesson by Niu Fu, his face turned red, and he had to tell Chen Nuo and his black armor army again. He didn't say Chen Nuo before, first, he didn't figure it out, and he couldn't be sure whether the surname Chen was the same Chen Nuo; In the second place, Niu Fuyi said that he felt that he had lost a little carelessly, and in order to save a little face, he could only bring Chen Nuo out. Anyway, Chen Nuo's name Xiliang has heard of it, and it must not be too embarrassing to say that he lost to him.

"Chen Nuo? It's him? ”

Niu Fu and Jia Xu glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, and they had all kinds of calculations in their hearts. Of course, they will not be unfamiliar with Chen Nuo's name, and the Hebei general who killed Zhang Ji and other three generals of Xiliang has already spread among the Xiliang army. However, after all, Chen Nuo killed Zhang Ji and the others in the Yanshi area, which is still far from here, and his influence is still limited, even Niu Fu and the others only talked about it after dinner, and they did not take this Chen Nuo in their eyes. However, it was such a character who was still a 'legend' before, but at this moment, he suddenly appeared in the land of Guanzhong, and there was also a battle with them, which made Niu Fu and the others tremble slightly in their hearts.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, and the strongest reaction was Zhang Xiu.

That Zhang Xiu suddenly heard Chen Nuo's name, thought of the death of his uncle Zhang Ji, and now the revenge has not been avenged, the muscles on his face suddenly froze, and his eyes turned again and again. Before he could speak, Hu Che'er behind him had already jumped out and shouted at Hu Chi'er: "You mean that Chen Nuo's house is in Tianwang Village?" ”

Hu Che'er jumped out suddenly, like a tiger, and the sound was not small, which made Hu Chi'er's ear drum buzz.

Hu Chi'er was suddenly startled by Hu Che'er who jumped out next to her, and her face couldn't help but change. Thinking that he relied on Niu Fu's favor, he was usually used to being powerful, and because of the defeat of Tianwangzhai, he had been on fire in his heart, and he hadn't found anyone to vent it, and suddenly saw Hu Che'er, no matter who he was, he immediately stepped towards Hu Che'er, and suddenly pointed at him with a halberd, shouting: "Bold thief, who are you, actually roaring at General Niu in front of General Niu under the tent!" Who is your power relying on, if you don't take General Ben in your eyes, don't you even ignore General Niu? ”

Hu Chi'er's words are really powerful, it was originally his own business, but Niu Fu was also involved at once. And Niu Fu Since the news of Dong Zhuo's death came, he was very uneasy in his heart, afraid that outsiders would plot to kill him, and he wanted to put an end to all external troubles, so he had the matter of letting the divination of the Zheng. Although this matter finally let go of Zhang Xiu and others temporarily because of the auspicious hexagram, he has been entangled in his heart, and he can't be stable, and as the people from the court are gradually approaching, it makes him restless all day long, for fear that someone will harm him, and Zhang Xiu is naturally not at ease.

Thinking about it, he has always treated Zhang Xiu with a complicated treatment, although he was safe for a while, but he also faintly had a certain displeasure, only one guide. The fire ignited it. Now, he was provoked by Hu Chi'er, and he frowned unconsciously, his face was already showing displeasure, and he was about to have a seizure at any time.

Niu Fu hated it, but Hu Che'er didn't know the little Jiujiu in his heart at all. Only when he faced Hu Chi'er, he didn't have the consciousness of sending people under the fence at all, he heard Hu Chi'er say this, but he didn't want to fall into the prestige, even if he pressed the saber, he wanted to resist him. It's just that he hasn't stepped forward yet, and Zhang Xiu has already stopped drinking and drank him back.

Although Zhang Xiu has been staying in Niu Fujun, he has always been worried about Niu Fu's obscure attitude. Thinking about it, Zhonglang General Dong Yue's death has always lingered in his mind, and he is even more trembling against Niu Fuqi as if he were walking on thin ice, and he doesn't dare to provoke him easily. If this matter had to be put in the past, Zhang Xiu probably couldn't bear it. But since the death of his uncle Zhang Ji, his temperament has changed all of a sudden. If he wants revenge, he must rely on Niu Fu's men and horses and befriend Niu Fu. It is precisely because of this plan that he learned to forbear and learn to bow his head and be a man. He first used Jia Xu's power to enter the Niu Fu army, and then carefully acted under Niu Fu's account, in order to get Niu Fu's approval, in exchange for Niu Fu to send troops to help him in the future.

Speaking of which, in this matter, although he clearly knew that Hu Che'er might not be wrong, and he Zhang Xiu should be glad for it. After all, although Hu Che'er's move was reckless, it was enough to show his loyalty to his uncle Zhang Ji. But now, at this time, he would rather chill Hu Che'er's heart than easily offend Niu Fu. Therefore, after drinking Hu Che'er back, he immediately stepped forward and pulled down his son to apologize to Niu Fu to Hu Chi'er for Hu Che'er.

When Zhang Xiu came to vote, Hu Chi'er naturally didn't recognize him because he was not there, and only treated him as an ordinary person, and he was not ready to pay attention to him, and wanted to make things bigger. However, at this time, seeing Zhang Xiu's words, half of the anger in his heart disappeared, and Jia Xu next to him introduced him to him at the right time, introduced Zhang Xiu's identity to him, and knew that he was Zhang Ji's nephew, so he unconsciously looked at Zhang Xiu twice. Come to think of it, Zhang Ji's previous forces in Chenliu and Yingchuan were not small, and they were also a town of soldiers and horses, although they were defeated now, they had a great reputation. And although Zhang Xiu is only Zhang Ji's nephew, seeing that he can be humble so much, he also knows how to be a man. In addition, when Jia Xu introduced Hu Che'er, he said that it was his own family, and their names were only one word apart, which also brought him closer to Hu Che'er at once, and he didn't feel that he looked at Hu Che'er differently, and naturally smiled at the previous conflict.

That Niu Fu's temperament was originally ups and downs, and he often judged a person because of the good or bad of others, he was originally going to borrow Hu Che'er's attack, but now that Hu Chi'er and Hu Che'er were reconciled, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated cleanly for some reason, and because Hu Chi'er looked at Hu Che'er quite differently. Reading the name of 'Lianghu' in his mouth, he unconsciously stroked his palms and smiled: "Chi'er! Cars! Haha, wonderful! It is a rare story to think that our army can get these 'two sons'. Che, come forward and let General Ben take a good look at you! ”

Hu Che'er is no better than Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu knows forbearance, but Hu Che'er may not understand this. Only when he heard Niu Fu say 'Liang'er' in his words, his face stiffened, his nose snorted, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. Of course, it was impossible for him to respond to Niu Fu's meaning, but he just raised his head suddenly and glanced at Niu Fu awe-inspiringly. That Niu Fu suddenly met Hu Che'er's eyes, and his heart was cold, and the smile on his face stiffened suddenly.

When Zhang Xiu heard it, although he felt that Niu Fu's words were rude, he said in his heart that if he could introduce Hu Che'er to Niu Fu, he would be happy, and maybe he could borrow from Hu Che'er again. He had this plan in his heart, and he didn't have anything, but suddenly he thought that Hu Che'er had a bad temperament, and Niu Fu's words were disrespectful, so he was afraid that Hu Che'er would have a temper, and if he didn't do it, he would fall out with Niu Fu. He just had this idea in his heart, and suddenly heard Hu Che'er snort, his whole body couldn't help twitching, and sweat was dripping in his palms. His mind was spinning, and he was about to scold Hu Che'er. However, fortunately, Hu Che'er hadn't walked out yet, but Hu Chi'er laughed and said, "The general wants to see Che'er, don't you see Chi'er?" Why don't you come up and let the general take a good look? ”

Niu Fu was told by Hu Chi'er, and he laughed unconsciously, and he also revealed the matter. That made Zhang Xiu secretly wipe a handful of sweat, bluffed Hu Che'er, and let Hu Che'er retreat. In the tent, because of Niu Fu's smile, the tense atmosphere eased slightly.

After Hu Chi'er smiled, he immediately mentioned the defeat of Tianwangzhai, and said that no matter what, he would also lead troops to Tianwangzhai, and he was ashamed of it, and asked Niu Fu to send troops to him. When Hu Chi'er said this, it was in line with Zhang Xiu's thoughts. Thinking about it, since Chen Nuo was on the Tianwang Village, if Hu Chi'er could lead the troops to kill Chen Nuo, it would avenge him. Of course, in this matter, he is still willing to take revenge himself. Therefore, when I heard Hu Chi'er say it, I didn't feel moved in my heart, and I also wanted to lead the troops to follow the battle, and I was almost about to stand up and speak. However, Jia Xu had already seen through this little bit of his thoughts, and hurriedly handed him a look, signaling him not to act recklessly.

Jia Xu has actually been watching Zhang Xiu's every move, and he is quite satisfied with Zhang Xiu's previous actions. It's just that in this matter, of course, he doesn't want to show his head. After all, now is a critical period, and he Niu Fu has always been on guard against him, and if he invites himself to fight at this time, it will definitely cause him to be even more suspicious. Although Zhang Xiu's departure in this case is a calculation, but sometimes it is the most safe to respond to all changes without change, and with his Jia Xu's measurement of Niu Fu, he naturally knows how Zhang Xiu will do in front of him so as not to cause him greater suspicion.

Niu Fu on the coach's bench listened to Hu Chi'er's words, and his heart didn't move. Although Hu Chi'er was ultimately defeated in this matter, he never blamed Hu Chi'er, and even at the moment when Hu Chi'er asked to send troops, he felt that he should teach Tianwangzhai a lesson, and he was ready to agree. However, as soon as he moved, Jia Xu also immediately spoke, blocking what Niu Fu wanted to say immediately. He coughed and said, "General! The matter of Tianwangzhai is not in a hurry, we will take care of it slowly. Only that Li Su came on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the next is the will of the imperial court, thinking that they have already passed Hongnong City, and they will soon come to my Shaanxi County, our top priority now is not to send someone to probe Li Su's tone first, so as to make all preparations? ”

When Niu Fu heard Jia Xu say, he seemed to remember this matter all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, followed by an inexplicable nervousness: "Hmm! Mr. Jia's words are good, although it is hateful to come to Tianwangzhai, they are a group of bandits after all, and they can't make any waves for a while. However, Li Su and the others are related to the survival of my Xiliang, but we must make plans early. In this way, the matter of Tianwangzhai will be suppressed for the time being, Chi'er, you can lead the troops to meet Li Su and the others, as for how to do it, you can ask Mr. Jia for advice later. ”

"No!"

Although she was a little reluctant, Hu Chi'er still bowed her hand and accepted it with a bang.
