In mid-October, the people sent by Tang Yu disguised themselves in Xiapi to deliver a letter.

Han Yin read Qiao Rui's letter, and asked about Long Xiang's injury, and immediately agreed.

That night, Han Yin invited Chen Gong to the post house to eat and drink, and explained the repatriation of the guards.

"Mr. Han wants to send the guards away, so why don't you leave with you?" Chen Gong thought deeply, he was worried that Yuan Shusheng would hate the army, so he deliberately withdrew Han Yin.

"Definitely." Han Yin drank the wine in the cup, shook his head and sighed: "The ceremonies such as acceptance, questioning, acceptance, and recruitment are not finished, and Han wants to continue to stay in Xiapi to cooperate, so I am worried that the marriage will change..."

Chen Gong rolled his eyes and comforted: "The lord has already explained, it is the will of heaven to shoot the halberd at the Yuanmen, and the so-called will of heaven cannot be violated, Mr. Han, please don't be suspicious, the two families of Yuan and Lu are good with Qin and Jin, and there will be no changes..."

"Wen Hou helped Liu Bei relieve the siege, and my lord must be displeased..."Han Yin gently knocked on the table.

"Whether the two families are harmonious or not depends on the mediation of the husband, please drink this cup to the fullest." Chen Gong lifted the wine glass and drank it all, and when he saw Han Yin's gloomy expression, he changed the topic: "I'll go to General Hao tomorrow morning and let those twenty guards out of the city, they have been in Xiapi for two months, do they miss their family?" What a sympathetic gentleman..."

Han Yin shook his head and denied: "They are not Han's part, they were assigned to me by Long Xiang as a guard." ”

"Long Xiang? The Sima who held the grain at the beginning? ”

"Yes, the public station has also seen it."

Chen Gong wondered in his heart, so he asked like a cannon: "Since it was allocated to Mr. as a guard, why do you want to send it back to Huainan first?" Could it be that there is a change in Shouchun? ”

Han Yin smiled bitterly and explained: "Long Xiang was demoted to Quhou by the lord when he went back because of a mistake in securing grain last time, and Qiao Rui also beat him with twenty military sticks, and he is still lying on the couch and can't get off the ground. ”

"Although he suffered an unwarranted disaster, but he made such a big mistake, it is not bad to be able to save his life, could it be that Mr. Fei sent his pawn back to his hometown this time, and it was also because of this dragon Xiang?" Chen Gong looked at Han Yin curiously.

"Long Yunqi lost his troops and generals last time, and there are only more than 100 soldiers left, and now he can't even make up a song, Qiao Rui wrote a letter to me to return the people, so I simply did a personal favor..."

Chen Gong unfolded the silk letter and watched it, and soon returned it to Han Yin, shaking his head and sighing: "It's a loss that Long Yunqi still 'rode back to Zhang Fei alone', and now he is so miserable, I'm afraid that if Mr. doesn't return the twenty guards, he won't even be able to do a little Quhou..."

"Everyone is a colleague, if you can help, you can help, everything is that Chen Yu..."Han Yin was halfway through his words, his face suddenly became serious, and he asked in a deep voice: "Recently, Wen Hou and the Chen family father and son have been very close, doesn't the public station think there is anything strange in it?" ”

"It's not that you and I have joined forces to make the Chen family spit out 100,000 yuan of military rations, it's normal for the lord to be intimate with them, Mr. Han don't think too much." Chen Gong shook his head slightly.

Han Yin put his hand in his hand, and his voice suddenly became high-pitched: "Otherwise, the father and son of the Chen family are not incompetent, since you and I have formed a bond with the Chen family, maybe there will be some backhand, and the public platform has to guard against it." ”

"Sir, don't worry, with Chen Gong here, you are safe." Chen Gong was quite confident in himself.

Han Yin raised his eyes, stroked his beard, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "The so-called preemptive strike, the latter is controlled by others, the Chen family has been entrenched in Xuzhou for many years, if we really use some yin and bad strategies, we may not be able to deal with it all, and Wen Hou is not right to take the name of Xuzhou, the Chen family may be more recognized by Liu Bei, maybe the public station doesn't think that Wen Hou went to Xiao Peiyuan Gate to shoot a halberd, is it a little unreasonable?" ”

"Shhhh I also secretly suspected..."Chen Gong frowned.

Han Yin continued: "My father-in-law hates Liu Bei deeply, and he is friendly with Wen Hou, Wen Hou is now close to Chen and alienates Yuan, but the Chen family has a secret relationship with Liu Bei, and the public has to think of a way..."

"I can save it..."Chen Gong replied simply, but in his heart, he was already analyzing.

Chen Qi and his son are now vainly wronged, are they really helping Liu Bei in secret? If Yuan Shu was really provoked, would the Chen family take advantage of Lu Bu to meet the battle and then welcome Liu Bei into Xiapi?

Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days? It is necessary to eliminate hidden dangers in advance.

Seeing Chen Gong frowning and pondering, Han Yin leaned forward and asked in a voice like a mosquito: "If Lu Bu doesn't listen to people, Gongtai might as well consider going to Huainan, my lord is waiting for him, we all have a common enemy, Cao Thief..."

"Mr. cautiously, if this is not the case, if that is the case, the Yuan and Lu families will become fire and water, wouldn't they be liked by Cao Thief?" Chen Gong looked left and right, and then shook his head again and again.

Han Yin took a step further and said to Chen Gong with a smile: "General Hao has already said that if Mr. is willing to cooperate, where can Xuzhou still have the surname Lu?" At that time, my lord will be in Xu and Yang, so why are you afraid of the thief? ”

Chen Gong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop, "Let's not mention this matter for the time being, although Lu Bu is a reckless person, but he didn't bear me in the end, the Chen family's father and son have been flattering recently, and I will plot to crack it." ”

"How to crack?"

"You will know in a few days, and then your Lord will not doubt it."

"Uh... Well..."

The next day, Han Yin set aside some coils and arranged for twenty guards to go out of the city.

The messenger sent by Tang Yu, after explaining to the people, returned to Xiapi among the people before the city gates were closed in the evening.

Long Xiang knew that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu would eventually have a battle, if he followed Qiao Rui in the future, this dark line might be able to be used, and under the premise of his own lack of ability, he could only make such a simple layout, which was a precaution.

A few days later, Hou Cheng went north to buy horses, and Hou Cheng passed through Changshu County to buy horses from Qingzhou, and suddenly encountered a strongman who cut the path, and most of the more than 200 good horses he had purchased were taken away.

When Hou Cheng returned to Xiapi to plead guilty, Chen Qi and his son were accompanying Lu Bu to eat and drink, and Hou Cheng was kicked out of the house after a scolding.

"It's a shame that he's still my horseman, and he was robbed of his horse by robbers? It's a great shame..."Lu Bu clenched his fists and spun in place.

"Changxi County is very close to Qingzhou, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban over there have always been rampant, and it is understandable that General Hou is not an enemy." Chen Deng looked at Chen Qi's eyes and hurriedly got up to intercede for Hou Cheng.

Lu Bu frowned and asked, "Yuan Long is talking about the generals of Mount Tai?" Zang Ba and the others have all surrendered, do they dare to disobey the yang and the yin? ”

"It's hard to say, in short, it was the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and there are no other strongmen in Xuzhou." Chen Deng arched his hand to explain.

"Hou Cheng didn't recognize the bandit leader, and I don't even know who to seek revenge." Lu Bu was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, secretly wondering if he was acting too weak? Anyone can put their hand into Xuzhou? In the past, Yuan Shu's dowry military rations were burned, and the current Hou Cheng bought horses and was taken away, and he didn't take our Tianhua halberd seriously?

"Wenhou, there are still some trivial matters at home, so the two of us will retire first and come back tomorrow." Chen Qi saw that Lu Bu was angry and unwilling to continue to stay, so he pulled Chen Deng to say goodbye and leave.

"Doctor, go by yourself..."Lu Bu raised his hand slightly.

The father and son immediately left the house, and it was not until they got into the carriage that Chen Deng whispered to Chen Qi: "Although Changxi is close to Qingzhou, it is also very close to Xiaopei..."

"That's why I made my eyes look good for my father, but fortunately, Yuanlong understood my intentions." Chen Qi nodded his head.
