The two guards dragged Xun Xiu back to the Chinese military tent, pushed him to the ground, and then withdrew from the Chinese military tent at Chu Chen's signal.

Xun Xiu knelt on the ground, her face was pale with fright, sweat was like rain, and her body trembled involuntarily.

Chu Chen leaned forward, stared at him coldly, and said, "If you dare to recover the matter of You Guo in front of Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai will definitely not forgive!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the villain doesn't mention it, the villain will never mention it again!" Xun Xiu, who had turned around from outside the Ghost Gate, nodded again and again, how dare he mention half a word about recovering the country.

"You say, can you help 'my country' contain the Yan army?" Chu Chen deliberately accentuated the word "our country", just to remind Xun Xiu that now he is no longer a special person, but a Jin person, and he is the commander of the first army of the Jin country, the general, and the marquis.

"Yes, General Nie, the strong soldiers under the command of my general can command 200,000 people, and there will be more and more soldiers and horses in the future, and they will be restored...... The place under control will also get bigger and bigger, and if we can form an alliance with the Jin country, one inside and one outside, it will cause great containment and blows to the Yan country. ”

"En......" Chu Chen rubbed his chin, that's right, it's just ......

He said: "You only have 200,000 soldiers and horses, and you are a miscellaneous army that has been put together temporarily, how can you help our country contain the Yan army? I am afraid that the Yan army will only send one legion, so you can wait for the rabble to be wiped out." ”

Chu Chen is not alarmist when he says this, in terms of combat strength, the Yan Army is not inferior to the Jin Army, in terms of commanders and generals, Yan Guo is even more talented, and it is undoubtedly a fool's joke to fight against Yan Guo with only 200,000 troops.

Xun Xiu's face was straight, and he said: "General Nie, don't forget that if in other countries, 200,000 people are cobbled together, then they may be called a rabble. But the 200,000 of my people, even if they are brought together temporarily, are also the army of tigers and wolves, and they can dominate the world, and no one can beat them, besides. I believe that in a short time, the current 200,000 will become 500,000, 1 million, or even 2 million, so is it not worthy of an alliance with the Jin State?"

Chu Chen stared at Xun Xiu. After a long time, he smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xun, please take a seat!"

Hearing this, Xun Xiu's heart fell when he mentioned his throat, gave a salute, and then knelt down on the side.

Chu Chen Zhengse said: "Whether the Jin Kingdom can form an alliance with your side or not, this commander can't decide, this needs to be recognized and approved by the adults." ”

"This is exactly the reason why the villain came to see General Nie. Xun Xiu was blunt. said: "I hope that General Nie can speak more for my general in front of His Royal Highness the Commander of the Jin Army and promote this matter." It is only beneficial to our side, and it is also extremely beneficial to the country. ”

Chu Chen rubbed his chin and pondered.

Xun Xiu continued: "No matter where General Nie defects and how his mind changes, General Nie is still a special person after all, and now he wants to return to the country. General Nie should help both in public and private!"

His words more or less moved Chu Chen, as he said, no matter how high and big Chu Chen's title and official position in the Jin Kingdom is, he is still a special person, and he has You people's blood flowing in his bones. If Nie Shu can really lead You Ren to restore the country successfully, even if he still chooses to stay in the Jin Kingdom, he will be happy for You Ren in his heart.

Chu Chen pondered for a long time, nodded, and said, "Ben Shuai will report this matter to the imperial court as soon as possible, and at the same time, he will also write a letter to the adults, asking them to consider this matter carefully." ”

Xun Xiu's eyes rolled, and he said in embarrassment: "General Nie, if you only mention this matter in the letter, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Commander of the Jin Army may not pay attention to it." ”

Chu Chen tilted his head and asked, "What does Mr. Xun mean......"

Xun Xiu Zhengse said: "The villain wants to meet His Royal Highness the commander of the Jin Army in person, and hopes that General Nie will be successful." ”

So that's the case, Xun Xiu came to see him, not to discuss anything with himself, but just to meet the adult through himself, although trying to understand this made Chu Chen's heart a little unhappy, but he still felt the need to introduce Xun Xiu to the adult.

The alliance between the Jin State and Nie Shu's forces is indeed beneficial to the Jin State, at least it can give the Jin State one more chess piece in his hand to contain the Yan State, on the other hand, Chu Chen himself is willing to facilitate this matter, what if Nie Shu really relies on the strength of the Jin State to restore the country?

After thinking about it, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, Ben Shuai will personally go to Liuhe and introduce you to the adults!"

As soon as these words came out, Xun Xiu was very excited, and the latter hurriedly stood up, bowed respectfully, and said with a trembling voice: "The villain thanks General Nie for his success." ”

Chu Chen narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said faintly: "The road that can be paved for you, Ben Shuai has done his best, as for whether you can achieve great things in the future, it depends on Nie Shu and your own ability." ”

The next day, Chu Chen took Xun Xiu and left the camp of the Iron Lion Army and set off for Liuhe.

Since it was not a war period, Chu Chen's movements were relatively free, and he did not need to receive orders from Lin Haotian or the imperial court to return to Beijing.

When Chu Chen and Xun Xiu returned to Liuhe, it was half a month later, and the day they arrived in Liuhe was very unfortunate, Lin Haotian was not in the city, but went out of the city to hunt, as for when they came back, the guards of the post station couldn't tell, they might come back on the same day, or they might take three or five days.

Although Lin Haotian was not there, Chu Lianyu and Peng Qian and other ministers were in Liuhe, and Chu Chen took Xun Xiu to visit Chu Lianyu.

Hearing the news of Chu Chen's arrival in Beijing, Chu Lianyu was a little surprised, so decent, how did he run back from Mudi?

Chu Lianyu met with Chu Chen, and after the latter explained his intention to return to Beijing this time, Chu Lianyu couldn't help but take a breath.

Among the ministers of the Jin State, Chu Lianyu's sharp thinking can be called the best, as soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, he realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if he grasped this opportunity, Nie Shu would definitely be able to become a breakthrough between the Jin State and the Yan State in the future.

He proposed to Chu Chen, don't wait for the adults to come back in the city, immediately take Xun Xiu to the outside of the city to find the adults directly, and explain this matter to the adults, if nothing else, the adults will definitely pay attention to this matter.

Chu Lianyu's words were exactly what Chu Chen wanted, and after the latter left Chu Lianyu's temporary residence, he took Xun Xiu out of the city to find Lin Haotian non-stop.

Lin Haotian's hunting place is not close to Liuhe. More than 20 miles to the east, there is a large expanse of mountainous area, but the mountain is not steep, and it is indeed a good place for hunting.

This time, Lin Haotian traveled with Zhang Bufan, Ling Wuya and other military generals of the Jin Kingdom.

When Chu Chen and Xun Xiu arrived here, it was already nearly evening.

After a whole day of hunting, Lin Haotian gained a lot. A total of two deer, three pheasants, and four hares were hunted, but the ones he hunted were a little worse than Zhang Bufan, not that Zhang Bufan's prey was much more than him, but he actually hunted an adult black bear, which is not a common thing, and it takes a certain amount of luck.

At this time, Lin Haotian had decided to camp here and wait for tomorrow to continue hunting.

The camp was very lively, with tents on top of each other. Bonfires were piled up, and groups of soldiers of the Jin Army sat around the bonfires, chatting and laughing while roasting the prey.

Lin Haotian, Zhang Bufan, Ling Wuya and others also sat on the ground around the bonfire like ordinary soldiers.

Between talking and laughing, Lin Haotian heard buzzing around from time to time, he raised his eyes to look around, and saw that the guards nearby were still whispering, he smiled and asked, "What are you talking about secretly?"

I saw the adults looking at me. A guard hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Huiyu, no...... Nothing ......."

"It's a big sin not to tell the truth!" Lin Haotian deliberately scared with a cold face.

The guard who spoke trembled. He whispered, "My lord, I'll wait...... I'm still discussing whether General Extraordinary's archery is better or General Ling Wuya's archery is better. ”

"Oh?" Lin Haotian blinked, was stunned for a moment, laughed on his back, nodded again and again, and said, "I'm also curious about this." Why don't you ......" As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Zhang Bufan and Ling Wuya, and said with a smile: "How about you two compete?"

Ling Wuya is not a person who likes to be in the limelight, not to mention that archery is his forte, and his own strengths are shorter than others. That's what he has always despised, he waved his hand again and again, and said, "My lord, it's better not necessary......

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Bufan had already stood up and shouted dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by no need, am I sure I will lose to you?

Seeing that Zhang Bufan and Ling Wuya were competing in archery, the surrounding golden generals were also happy to watch the excitement, some people coaxed, some applauded, and some people stepped forward to cheer up, and whistles rang out.

Lin Haotian pulled Yin Rou to stand up, and asked Shao Lin and Tonglei beside him, "Did we catch a lot of hares?"

"Yes, my lord!" Shao Lin replied with a smile.

"Now it's time to come in handy. Lin Haotian first looked at the sky, and then said to Zhang Bufan and Ling Wuya: "You two are better at shooting rabbits, see who shoots accurately, how about it?"

"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to the earth, it doesn't matter how you compare to me. Zhang Bufan said nonchalantly.

Ling Wuya was driven to the shelves, and he smiled bitterly: "The last general has no objections. ”

"Okay!" Lin Haotian led everyone to the edge of the camp, and beyond there was a dense wood, he stopped his steps and said, "Here it is!" As he spoke, he asked the hare he had caught to be brought over.

Soon, the guards brought the wooden cages one by one, stacked them on the ground, and looked at them, and there were dozens of cages, each containing one or several hares.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, not to the extent that it was dark, but the light was already very limited, Lin Haotian took the bow and arrow from the guard, and said with a smile: "I'll try it first!"

As he spoke, he twisted his bow and arrows, and turned his head sideways to whistle to the guards beside him.

The guard understood, and quickly opened the cage. As soon as he opened the door of the cage, the rabbit inside sprang out and ran madly into the woods opposite.

Lin Haotian said: "Check the number!"

The guard was stunned for a moment before reacting, and hurriedly chanted: "One, two, three, four......"

It wasn't until the guard chanted to the twelfth that Lin Hao shot the arrow in his hand fiercely.

Hearing a whoosh, the arrow broke through the wind, and flew into the woods as fast as lightning, impartially, and the rabbit that fled into the forest in the middle of the arrow, because the strength of the arrow was too great, pierced the rabbit's body, and rolled forward for several meters before stopping.

There was silence at first, and then. The applause rang out, and all the guards cheered one after another: "Your Excellency is mighty! Your Excellency is mighty—"

"Haha!" Lin Haotian looked up and laughed, in fact, he was not very convinced in his heart, he was already a competitive person, no matter what aspect.

That's when it happened. A guard ran over, intervened, and said, "My lord, General Chu is here." ”

"Chu Chen?" Lin Haotian was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Isn't he stationed in Mudi, why did he come to Liuhe?" After a pause, he smiled again: "Chu Chen came just in time, just in time for a good show, please come over!"

Wait for the guards to leave. Lin Haotian said to Zhang Bufan and Ling Wuya with a wicked smile on his face: "Extraordinary, boundless, Chu Chen is here, you two have to do your best, no one wants to be embarrassed and conspicuous in front of Chu Chen, right?

"Pounce, pounce!"

Zhang Bufan didn't speak, lowered his head, and spit two mouthfuls into his palm, looking like he was rubbing his fists and grinding his palms, eager to try.

Ling Wuya couldn't laugh or cry. How can anyone provoke so much in front of others, adults play together. It's just like a child.

It didn't take long for Chu Chen to take Xun Xiuyu over under the guidance of the guards.

Chu Chen hurriedly straightened the clothes on his body, dusted off the dust again, walked forward quickly, bowed respectfully, and said in a shocking voice: "The last general will see your lord!"

Lin Haotian stepped forward. Holding Chu Chen's arm, he helped him up, and said with a smile: "Chu Chen, what kind of song did you sing when you ran all the way from the wooden field to the Liuhe?"

Chu Chen was just about to speak, but Lin Haotian waved his hand again and said, "But you came just right." Just in time to catch up with Bufan and Ling Wuya to test the archery technique, tell me, who of the two of them can win?"

His words can stop Chu Chen, in terms of archery, except for Shao Lin in the Jin Kingdom, I am afraid that no one can compare to Ling Wuya, but Zhang Bufan is also an arrogant lord, saying in front of him that his archery skills are not as good as Ling Wuya, isn't it that he is not happy!

"This ......" Chu Chen was speechless, not knowing how to answer, Lin Haotian didn't want to listen to his answer, he said with a smile: "It seems that you don't know either, this time you can witness with me!" As he spoke, he pulled Chu Chen and walked back.

The adults didn't give themselves a chance to speak at all, and Chu Chen was also full of helplessness, he turned around and glanced at Xun Xiu, signaling him to be calm and patient.

At this time, Zhang Bufan had already taken out his longbow, put on the arrow, and said in a deep voice to the guards guarding the rabbit cage: "Two!"

The surrounding people let out exclamations, Zhang Bufan only took one arrow, did he want to shoot two rabbits with one arrow?

You must know that it is already very dark now, especially in the woods opposite, it is even darker, and a small rabbit runs in, ordinary people may not even be able to see clearly, let alone two.

Just as everyone was secretly pondering, the guard had opened the small door of the rabbit cage, and the two rabbits rushed out one after the other.

"One, two, three, four......" is the same as when Lin Haotian shot the rabbit, and the guards began to check the number rhythmically, "Eleven, twelve, thirteen......"

The guards had already counted to thirteen, but Zhang Bufan had not yet shot the arrow in his hand, only to see him holding a bow and arrow, squinting his eyes, and staring at the woods without blinking.

After such a long time, the two rabbits had fled into the woods for some distance, and many generals could no longer see the rabbits' location clearly, and they had to crouch down to see the traces of the two rabbits faintly.

"Fourteen, fifteen!" When the guards counted to fifteen, Zhang Bufan finally shot the arrow in his hand.

"Chirp!"

The sound of the wind piercing, and the arrows flew into the forest, as if they were alive, and shot precisely at the hind of a rabbit.

The arrow ran through its body, and the tip of the arrow poked out in front of its forehead, but the arrow continued to fly, hanging on the body of the rabbit and continuing to fly forward, and then shot at the lower abdomen of another rabbit, and the rabbit was also shot off the ground, hanging on the arrow and continuing to fly forward, and finally, I heard a muffled sound, and the arrow that ran through the two rabbits in a row was nailed to the trunk of the tree, buzzing and trembling, and the body of the arrow was shockingly hung with the corpses of two hares, and the blood was dripping down.

The scene was so quiet that people were dumbfounded, it was already difficult to kill two birds with one stone, and it was undoubtedly more difficult to kill two rabbits with one stone, one arrow nailed the two rabbits to the tree, this strength, this precision, and the pinching of the timing, it was simply to the point of incredible.

Zhang Bufan straightened up, without any smile on his face, but with a big mouth pouting, he was almost grinning to the root of his ears, and that triumphant posture would be dazzling to anyone who looked at it.

He followed Lin Haotian's example, threw the longbow in his hand, and then slapped his palm, as if talking to himself, and as if saying to the people around him, "This arrow is okay!"

"Wow-"

The people around finally reacted, and for a while, there were calls everywhere, applause was like thunder, and many guards were so excited that they jumped again and again, and couldn't help but raise their arms and shout: "God of War, God of War-"

Hearing the thunderous cheers around him, Zhang Bufan felt even more proud, and finally had a smile on his face, he didn't feel inappropriate at all, and enjoyed people's cheers and praise with peace of mind.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that no one would be like him, or dare to be like him.

After all, Lin Haotian had just shot an arrow, but now his limelight has completely overpowered Lin Haotian, no matter who he is, he will feel inappropriate, he will be from after all, and Lin Haotian is the master, but Zhang Bufan has no such feeling at all.

On the other hand, Lin Haotian did not show the slightest unhappiness, but laughed happier than anyone else, and the cheers were the biggest among him.

Lin Haotian is true that he has a competitive heart, but it does not mean that he is not tolerant, this is his advantage.

Chu Chen on the side nodded secretly, a person like Zhang Bufan, I am afraid that only in the Jin Kingdom has his space to survive, and only the commander of the Jin Army can tolerate his existence, if he is replaced by another master, he doesn't know how many times he will be cut off his head.
