Chen Qun is a native of Xuchang, Yingchuan, his grandfather Chen Yu, father Chen Ji, and uncle Chen Chen are all famous in the world, and in Yingchuan County, the Chen family is also one of the local noble families, and the Xun family is equally famous.

On the eve of the New Year, Chen Qun took his wife and children back to the Chen family in Xuchang to worship his ancestors, the ancestral house of the Chen family is located in Chenli, the eastern suburb of Xuchang, hundreds of families in this area, most of them are surnamed Chen, more or less a little blood relationship.

Early in the morning, Chen Qun followed the family to worship the ancestral shrine in the family temple, and went to the grave of his grandfather and father to offer incense, and in the afternoon, his nephew Chen Zuo hurriedly came to the inner hall and found Chen Qun and said: "Uncle, the cavalry of the Cao army outside has not withdrawn, and is still monitoring our mansion from afar. ”

This was expected by Chen Qun, Cao Pi was very suspicious of him, he took his family all the way south, and there were people following him from afar, Cao Pi either wanted to catch him, or suspected that he was going to escape.

Of course, the possibility of the latter is relatively small, mainly the former, this time Chen Qun led the family to the ancestral house in Xuchang, Cao Zhen was particularly enthusiastic about him, and sent two hundred cavalry to guard them along the way, he and Cao Zhen said okay, after he arrived at the ancestral house of Chen Li, these two hundred cavalry wanted to withdraw to Xuchang, no longer need to follow them, but they refused to withdraw now, indicating that they were nominally maintaining, but in fact they were monitoring themselves.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "Where are the cavalry of the Cao army now?" How many people are there? ”

"Just outside the village, there are only two or three people, but the others should be from a distance."

Chen Qun pondered for a moment, "I know, thank you for the report." ”

Chen Zuo saluted, turned around and went down, Chen Qun took a sip of hot tea, he was not in a hurry, he was still waiting for news from his son, it was also a coincidence, as soon as he put down the teacup, there was a hurried footsteps of his son Chen Tai outside.

Chen Qun, who was originally calm, immediately lifted his spirits, "Father, the child is back." ”

"Come in and talk!"

A cold wind wrapped Chen Tai walked in, and he knelt down and saluted, "Meet Father!" ”

"Get up and tell me about the situation."

After Chen Tai participated in the clan sacrifice in the early morning, he quietly left Chenli and went to Xuchang City to meet with the Han army's intelligence point, and then rushed back, he brought news of the Han army.

Chen Tai stood beside his father with his hands down, and said in a low voice: "The Han army is ready to accept us to the south at any time, but they told us not to take the Nanyang line, but to take Runan County into Anlu County." ”

"Why?"

"They said that although the distance from Xuchang to Nanyang is short, but the Cao army has deployed heavy troops along the way, especially in Kunyang County, where a large army gathers, and the inventory is very strict, it is difficult for us to pass.

In fact, for Chen Qun, it doesn't matter which line you take, the key is to be safe, he pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Didn't the Cao Jun spies notice you when you went out?" ”

"The child put on a little makeup and rode past in front of them, but they didn't react, so they probably didn't recognize the child."

Chen Qun nodded, "If that's the case, things will be easy, go find your mother and two sisters, we have to leave immediately!" ”

．．．．．．．

Half an hour later, more than 20 family members rode horses to escort two Chen Qun's carriages and left Chenli, to the Xun family dozens of miles away, Chen Qun's wife Xun is the daughter of Xun, according to local customs, after the Danri clan sacrifice, the married daughter will return to her mother's home, so it is completely normal for Chen Qun to take his wife and children to Xun's house.

The soldiers of the Cao Army, who were monitoring the periphery, saw Chen Qun's carriage coming out, and the marquis of the leader hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Where is Chen Zhongcheng going?" ”

Chen Qun snorted coldly from the carriage, and Chen Tai, who followed him on horseback, said: "We are going to the Xun family, we don't need your guards, you can go back!" ”

The military marquis sneered: "It is our duty to protect the safety of Zhongcheng, how can we give up halfway, please go on the road, absolutely safe." ”

Chen Tai ignored him anymore and ordered, "Go!" ”

The two carriages drove onto the official road and drove quickly to the west, several Cao cavalry followed closely behind, and more than 200 Cao cavalry deployed in the distance also returned one after another, following behind Chen Qun's two carriages.

About half an hour later, a dilapidated ox cart slowly drove out of the village, the old cow was skinny, and an old man in tattered clothes drove the ox cart, and there were a dozen pumpkins piled up next to the seat, which was obviously the ox cart of a poor family, and the ox cart swayed to the east.

Behind a tattered curtain, Chen Qun, who had changed into ordinary clothes, was looking out vigilantly through the curtain of the car, and his wife Xun and two daughters sat next to him.

This is naturally their golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell, the previous two carriages were actually Chen Qun's brother Chen Xi and his wife and daughter, Chen Tai followed alongside, and the family brought by Chen Qun also followed the carriage, so that Cao Jun, who was monitoring them, was tricked and led to Xun's house.

At this time, the night had quietly fallen, and there was a thick ice slag in the wilderness, and the cold wind was cold, making people shiver, but compared to the cold of the night, Xun was more worried about the safety of her son Chen Tai, and she whispered: "Husband, nothing will happen to Tai'er!" ”

"Don't worry!"

Chen Qun patted his wife's hand lightly, smiled and comforted her: "Tai'er has already tried it today, he put on a little makeup, walked in front of Cao Jun, the other party didn't recognize him, I believe he will be fine, and he will come to join us soon." ”

The husband's comfort made Xun a little relieved, and then Chen Qun hugged the futon and covered it for his wife and two daughters, and said with a smile: "I guess I have to walk for a while, so close my eyes and rest for a while!" ”

The ox cart took another slightly flat path and headed along a forest towards the southeast of Xuchang City.

．．．．．．．

At the third watch in the night, the ox cart had left Xuchang City for more than ten miles, got on the official road, and walked two miles, the old coachman turned around and woke up Chen Qun, "Master, it's time to get there!" ”

Chen Qun hurriedly pulled the curtain and looked ahead, only to see a few carriages parked at the intersection in front of him in the twilight moonlight, Chen Qun was overjoyed, that is, the carriage in which the Han army came to meet him.

At this time, a man on horseback galloped over and said with a smile: "Father, mother, why are you here now?" ”

Chen Qun and his wife were overjoyed, it turned out that their son Chen Tai had already come first, and Chen Qun hurriedly asked, "How is the situation over there?" ”

Chen Tai said with a smile: "The Xun family is very cooperative, and directly let our carriage into the courtyard, so that the Cao army cavalry did not see the third uncle and they got off, and then the child put on makeup, and a few Xun family servants went out of the village, and then rode after him, the child has arrived for almost half an hour, and the Cao army cavalry should still be monitoring outside the Xun family, and some of them are waiting." ”

Chen Qun smiled, "That's good, let's go!" ”

Chen Qun's family only brought a few bags of fine soft, they got into the Han army carriage, disguised themselves as rich families, the carriage started, and dozens of Han elite cavalry dressed as entourages escorted the carriage towards Runan County in the southeast direction.

Since the main force of the Han army was mainly assembled in Shouchun and Nanyang, and there were only 10,000 garrisons in Anlu County, it was obvious that the Han army had no intention of sending troops from Anlu County, so there were not many Cao troops in Runan County, only more than 8,000 people, stationed in several important cities, and set up card checks on the main official roads to the south.

However, the Han army had made careful arrangements for Chen Qun's southward journey, and Sima Yi had full authority to plan this matter, and Liu Jing specially ordered that this operation was not allowed to make a half-point difference, and the Han army mobilized nearly a thousand elite soldiers for this purpose, and set up more than a dozen receiving points along the way, among which the fifty family members who guarded Chen Qun's family were selected from the elite of the Eagle Strike Army.

In fact, even if Chen Qun was trapped in the ancestral house and couldn't get out, the Han army also had an alternative plan, and would not hesitate to use force to take Chen Qun out, but Chen Qun had his own cleverness, and he deceived Cao Jun's surveillance with a little trick.

Two days later, when the 200 Cao cavalry who were monitoring Chen Qun at Xun's house finally discovered that the situation was wrong, Chen Qun's family had already arrived at Wusheng Pass.

The area between Runan County and Anlu County is not a plain, but is blocked by the reckless Dabie Mountain, which has become a natural dividing line between the Han and Wei dynasties.

In this mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles, there are three dangerous passes that can be passed, this is the famous Yiyang Three Passes, Wusheng Pass, Jiuli Pass and Pingjing Pass, of which Wusheng Pass is the most important passage, Liu Jing led out of Anlu County in that year, that is, to take Wusheng Pass into Runan County, and confront Cao Jun in the Huai River.

At present, the three passes of Yiyang are all controlled by the Han army, each stationed with 3,000 troops, commanded by the general Huo Jun, when the carriage of Chen Qun's family slowly stopped in front of Wusheng Pass, Cheng Xunzhi who had been waiting here in the imperial history of the Han State welcomed out.

Xun Zhi did not participate in the New Year's Dynasty, he also served as the Yangzhou patrol envoy, which was also the original Jiangdong Battle after the end, Liu Jing gave him the important task, inspecting the Jiangzuo counties, he was about to return to Chang'an to report on his work, received an urgent order from Liu Jing, the king of Han, let him rush to Wusheng Pass to meet Chen Qun's arrival.

Xun Zhi is Xun Yu's nephew, a generation younger than Chen Qun, and Chen Qun's wife Xun is his aunt.

Xun Zhi hurriedly came to the carriage and saluted: "Nephew Xun Zhi is waiting to welcome the arrival of his uncle and aunt!" ”

Xun Zhi is the most outstanding person among the descendants of the Xun family, and he is very famous in the Xun family, Chen Qun and his wife both know him, and when they see that he came to greet him, both of them were overjoyed, "Isn't the virtuous nephew in Yangzhou?" How did it end up here? ”

Xun Zhi said with a smile: "My nephew is going to go back to Chang'an to report on his work, and he received an edict from His Royal Highness the King of Han to ask my nephew to come to Wushengguan to greet my uncle and aunt, so my nephew is actually welcoming my uncle and aunt on behalf of the Han Kingdom and accompanying him to Chang'an." ”

Chen Qun didn't expect Liu Jing to value himself so much, and carefully arrange the deployment for his southward journey, he was happy and moved in his heart, he patted Xun Zhi's shoulder and smiled: "With a virtuous nephew accompanying us to Chang'an, this New Year is really a reunion." ”

Xun Zhi smiled and saluted, and then greeted his cousin Chen Tai, and then said to Chen Qun's family: "Uncle and aunt, please enter the customs!" ”

Chen Qun walked into the steep Wusheng Pass with his wife and children, and it was only at this time that a heart hanging in his heart finally fell.

The news of Chen Qun's family's disappearance in Xuchang quickly spread to Yedu, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar, almost everyone guessed that Chen Qun had defected to the Han State, although there had been many local middle and low-level officials who abandoned their officials and defected to the Han State, but they had little impact, and Chen Qun's departure was a boulder, which had a strong repercussion in the Yedu officialdom, making countless people begin to consider their future.

Cao Pi was also extremely angry, but he did not dare to tell his father about Chen Qun's defection, lest his father would not be able to bear such a blow, so he immediately convened important civil and military officials to discuss, and everyone agreed to hide the news of Chen Qun's departure from Cao Cao.
