Chapter 284: A Difficult Choice

Xiahou Ba led a large army to confront Han Sui near Xiangwu for a long time. The nominal supreme commander of this army was Xiahou Ba, but Xiahou Ba very humbly let Chen Qun come forward and continued to supervise the army as a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Chen Qun was in charge, he didn't think that one day he would actually go to the battlefield in person, the wind and sand in front of him, the dispatch of the whole army was a little strange to him, fortunately, Shen Tan and Wen Ping's ability to command the battle was quite good, and then Yan Xing and Yang Qiu, who rushed to support, were even more experienced generals.

Han Sui didn't attack, and they didn't attack either, so the two sides maintained a posture of confrontation.

Xiahou Ba couldn't figure out why Han Sui was staying here motionless for a while, thousands of miles away.

Kuai Yue was a little worried, he knew that Cheng Gongying, who was the commander of the army opposite, was not an ordinary person, and he had not used the advantage of the cavalry to launch an attack after a long delay here, indicating that they must still be waiting for a better opportunity.

And the time came very soon.

One night, Xiahouba anxiously woke up Chen Qun Kuaiyue and the others, telling them that something big had happened in Ji County behind them, Ding Fei actually colluded with Ma Chao to occupy Ji County, and now their back road was blocked by Ma Chao.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

The previous plan was that even if Ma Chao came over, they could immediately divide their troops to resist, even if Ma Chao won the hearts of the people of Liangzhou, it was impossible for him to hold on for too long in the case of a serious lack of military rations.

But who would have thought that Ding Fei would actually ......

"No way, who are you, why are you talking nonsense? How could Ding Fei collude with Ma Chao? ”

Although he hates Ding Fei very much, if you want to say that he colluded with Ma Chao, Chen Qun is the first to disbelieve it.

Although the Ding family is not as good as the Xiahou family, it is also the minister of Cao Cao's family, and ordinary trivial matters cannot pose any threat to Ding Fei, how can he be idle and have nothing to collude with Ma Chao?

The messenger smiled bitterly:

"The little one is Tianshui Gong Cao Jiang Yin, before Yang Changshi received news from Chang Junshi that Ding Fei was going to rebel, but he was not sure, so he specially asked the villain to secretly leave Ji County in the name of the soldiers of Xixian County, but in fact, he has been hiding outside the city as a businessman."

After that, Ding Fei colluded with the Hu people to arrest the assassin Shi and Beijia, and then attacked Ji County, and the small one didn't know where to go, so he had to ...... I had no choice but to report here. ”

Jiang Jian should not be deceiving people, but Ji County is the base camp of the rear, if Ji County is lost, the morale of the whole army will collapse, and when the time comes, Han Sui will cover up and kill, but I am afraid that the whole army will collapse.

What to do?!

Everyone subconsciously turned their attention to Chen Qun.

Chen Qun's heart was pounding.

He didn't expect that he would have a moment to decide life and death, and it would be at such a time.

When Guan Ping left Guanzhong, he apparently handed over his army to Xiahouba, but in fact it was handed over to Chen Qun, who had serious conflicts with him before.

He believed that Chen Qun still had a minimum moral quality, and he believed that Chen Qun still had the idea of doing something good for the world in his heart, so he agreed with Chen Qun to keep his elite army as much as possible and wait for Yunshan to return.

Last time, Chen Qun and Kuai Yue discussed a little, hid from Chang'an, and really saved their own army.

But now that the back road has been cut off, how can our army of tens of thousands of people be preserved......

"Let me, let me think about one night...... Block the news for the time being, and discuss it tomorrow during the day. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Qun summoned everyone to meet, and everyone entered the tent with solemn faces, and they couldn't help but be startled when they saw Chen Qun.

Chen Qun was in the prime of life, and he only had a few gray hairs before, but he hadn't seen him overnight, and Chen Qun's hair had turned most of his hair gray, and even his beard had turned silver.

His eyes were black and his eyes were red, and when he saw everyone coming, he said quite calmly:

"Brothers, since Ding Fei is reversed, with Cao Zihuan's temperament, he will definitely recover immediately, and this is naturally worth our efforts.

It's just that now that the rear road of our army has been cut off, and there will be no food in ten days, and I don't know when Tanzhi will return, and I can't think of any good way to think of it all night. ”

"What I originally wanted was to surrender to Han Sui, and then persuade Han Sui to send troops to attack Ma Chao. But Han Sui and Cheng Gongying are cunning and resourceful and difficult to deal with, it is better for you to temporarily surrender to Ma Chao with me, and show the banner to attack Han Sui, this is the last way that can be figured out, if there is infamy in a thousand years, I Chen Qun will bear it, if I lose this time, it is all my Chen Qun's fault, and it has nothing to do with you! ”

If it was before, Shen Tan and Wen Ping would have to mock each other, but looking at Chen Qun's white hair, the two had to shut up silently.

Entrusting a person with a big deal is a trust, but it is also a heavy responsibility.

I didn't expect Ding Fei to suddenly rebel, and now everyone can't think of a better way, and defecting to Ma Chao may be the best way.

Chen Qun is arrogant, how could he be willing to bow to Ma Chao from a famous family, if he could choose by himself, he would rather defect to Han Sui.

But he knew that Han Sui and Cheng Gongying were both very resourceful people, and if the 30,000 people on their side came into their hands, he was afraid that it would really become a sharp sword in Liangzhou, but Ma Chao ......

Ma Chao is brave and strategic, and he has no reliable strategists under him, and he was able to cooperate with Han Sui so skillfully before, it should also be Cheng Gongying's dispatch in it.

Cast Ma Chao, Ma Chao's strength will instantly grow to a very astonishing point, once the balance between him and Han Sui is destroyed, everything will still have room for maneuver.

That's it...... Chen Qun, who took the lead in advocating the surrender of Ma Chao, had a reputation that was completely ruined. After that, even if there is a chance to do it anyway, Chen Qun will become a three-surnamed slave like Lu Bu in the future life, a capricious opportunist.

Chen Qun's dream for many years is to promote his Nine Grades Official Law and make it an unswerving method for selecting people. To popularize this law and change the current probation system, it must be based on Chen Qun's extraordinary reputation.

But if Chen Qun surrenders to Ma Chao, his life will leave a huge black spot that is difficult to erase, just like Sima Fang's surrender to Dong Zhuo, which has been criticized for many years.

In other words, this is tantamount to abandoning Chen Qun's own ideals.

What a terrible thing it is to have an ideal collapse, and it is not difficult to understand why Chen Qun turned white overnight and became like this.

Kuai Yue, as Chen Qun's old partner, couldn't bear to see Chen Qun so uncomfortable, and said decisively:

"Let's go with me, the nine-grade official law ...... of Changwen"

"Forget it."

Chen Qun decisively interrupted Kuai Yue.

"If Tan Zhi is not there, I am the commander of the whole army, how can I retreat when I am an ambassador? I'll go, I'll go, Xenodu is extraordinary, but in terms of reputation, it may not be as good as Chen. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Qun's eyes showed a hint of shame.

"Speaking of these days, I often think about one thing.

I originally thought that the Nine Grades of Officials Law that I had painstakingly compiled was an eternal law, and as long as I used this law, I would be able to elect all the people in the world who were important to the Qing Dynasty into the imperial court, and the world would naturally be peaceful for a long time.

But these days, I happened to remember how there are so many good things in this world. Han Sui was also a famous celebrity in the world back then, and He Jin couldn't wait to hire him into the mansion.

If I had admired Han Sui's reputation back then, I would have wanted to make friends with him, but who knew that he would become like this later. ”

"This time Cao Pi's retort is already very obvious, so many celebrities, even if their parents and children are killed, they don't dare to turn their faces with Cao Pi.

However, there are countless heroes in the recklessness, who have risen up one after another, desperately trying to maintain the Han family.

This nine-grade official law has to be carefully pondered, and it is definitely not an eternal law, in this case, what can I Chen Qun do if I am slightly wronged? ”

The human heart is made of flesh.

Chen Qun looked down on the people of Qianshou back then, but because he had been pampered since childhood, he had been separated from the people for too long.

Since entering Guanzhong, everyone in the Guanping army has begun to read and write, these days Chen Qun dispatched everything, and really found that in addition to those wealthy families, there are countless heroes in the recklessness.

They are not necessarily stupid and greedy, but they are slightly inferior to others because of their birth and lack of good education since childhood.

If these people can be bathed in the teachings of the saints, the Great Han will definitely be more brilliant than ever.

This is the ideal that Chen Qun is pursuing now, and in order to accomplish this, he must maintain the integrity of the entire army now, which is nothing compared to his own reputation.

"In this life, it is the luck of my Chen Qun to be able to support the Han family with all the monarchs, and my reputation is just a passing cloud.

As long as we can create a better Han family, everyone will definitely be able to understand Chen Qun's hard work today, and it will all depend on your help in the future.

Tan Zhi came back soon, Chen has only suffered a little these days, can't he still bear it? ”

Everyone never expected that Chen Qun, who has always cherished his reputation the most, would be able to say such a thing, and all kinds of things these days have changed so much about Chen Qun, which makes everyone really realize that they are doing a very meaningful thing.

"I am willing to follow Chen Gong to support the Han Room, no matter whether we win or lose, we have no regrets!"
