143 Xiliang Movement

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he seemed to begin to understand Chen Yan's embarrassment, although a pair of eyes were still unwilling, but they were much calmer than before, he nodded and said: "Alas, my lord, my brother is sorry for you for today's matter!" ”

Chen Yan didn't expect Zhang Xiu to learn from Li Su to call his lord's brother, although the word "lord" did not seem serious, but the word "lord" was enough to show Chen Yan's status as the leader in Zhang Xiu's heart.

Chen Yan saw that Zhang Xiu finally realized his mistake, and he couldn't bear to say more, so he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, you and General Xu Huang will get back together......

Before the words fell, suddenly Song Zhong shouted in the distance: "General Xu Rong is back!" General Xu Rong is back! ”

Chen Yan didn't care about wasting any more time with Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu, and immediately ordered his subordinates to send the two away, and then got up and headed towards the city gate.

Before he reached the city gate, he saw the smoke and dust rolling in front of him, and a cavalry unit rushed back, the leader was serious and resolute, it was Chen Yan's right-hand man Xu Rong who came back to the city.

When Xu Rong saw Chen Yan, a smile immediately appeared on his serious face, and he turned over and knelt on the ground and said, "The last general, Xu Rong, welcome the triumph of the lord!" ”

When Chen Yan heard this, he suddenly thought of Zhang Liang, who died in battle halfway, and felt a pain in his heart. But he didn't want to make the matter public, so he hurriedly picked up Xu Rong and said: "General Xu Rong, don't be polite, I heard that you went out of the city to listen to the movements of Lu Bujun, I don't know if you can gain anything?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Rong showed a confident smile on his face, nodded and said, "Naturally, there is a harvest." Then he shouted to the back, "Bring people up!" ”

Before the words fell, I saw two soldiers behind Xu Rong dragging a strong man, this strong man was in his forties, and he looked a little kind, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Chen Yan was puzzled and asked, "Who is this person......?" ”

Xu Rong smiled: "This guy is Lu Bu's envoy, and when I caught him, he should have been preparing to go to Xiliang." ”

Only then did Chen Yan remember that he seemed to have seen this person when he was under Lu Bu.

The man obviously recognized Chen Yan, and as soon as he saw Chen Yan, he immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, and shouted in his mouth: "King Chen Yan, King Chen Yan, we have also eaten at the same table, you spare the little one's life, spare the little one's life!" ”

Chen Yan smiled slightly and said, "It depends on your performance." ”

When the man heard this, he suddenly began to kowtow again, nodded and said, "Obey, obey, the little one must know everything, and say everything!" ”

Chen Yan was amused when he heard this, and before he could continue to ask, Xu Rong immediately handed over a brocade silk and said, "Lord, let's take a look at this first." ”

Chen Yan took it, opened it and looked at it, suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and scolded in a low voice: "Grass, isn't this the legendary official book?" ”

Sure enough, there is a lot of handwriting written on the brocade silk, but it is the most popular official script in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At this time, the official books were slightly different from the official books that survived in later generations, so although Chen Yan knew some official books, he still looked a little difficult.

What's even worse is that these ancients wrote letters without punctuation, not only to recognize words, but also to break sentences. Chen Yan is a liberal arts student, if he comes to read alone, or break sentences, it will not be a problem, but now that the two items are added together, Chen Yan can only scold his mother.

Xu Rong saw Chen Yan staring at this brocade silk, his face changed several times, and he knew that Chen Yan was afraid that there was something wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "What?" Lord, is there a problem with this news? ”

Chen Yan was a little embarrassed, his face turned red, and said, "This ...... Too many words, what are they written? ”

Xu Rong reacted at this time, this dignified leader of the first army was illiterate, but in fact, it was not illiterate, but he was not literate, and he couldn't break sentences.

Xu Rong hurriedly came over and explained: "What I said in my heart is that Lu Bu intended to marry Han Sui and Ma Teng of Naxi Liang, and agreed that these two would attack the lord together, and promised a reward. ”

Chen Yan only then understood what was said in this brocade silk, after this trouble, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel ashamed, the general of the dignified army, he didn't know a single big word, and if he had a chance in the future, he must study hard, otherwise if he made a joke again, his face would have nowhere to rest.

Chen Yan pondered for a moment and asked, "General Xu Rong, do you think Lu Bu colluded with Han Sui and Ma Teng to have a good chance of success?" ”

Xu Rong nodded and said: "Han Sui and Ma Teng are in Xiliang, and they have always been eyeing the land of Gyeonggi, Dong Zhuo was alive before, and the Bai Bo Army cut off the way, so these two people didn't dare to step forward." And now that Dong Zhuo is dead, and Bai Bojun has moved to Dingyuan City, I think these two people may have wanted to come to Chang'an to have fun for a long time. ”

Chen Yan frowned and said, "In this way, this trip to the troubled waters, are the two of them decided?" ”

Xu Rong nodded and said, "Yes, I'm afraid that there will be no collusion with Lu Bu at that time, and these two people will also go east at the beginning of spring next year." At this time, although Lu Bu colluded with them, I am afraid that when their Xiliang Iron Cavalry attacked, the target would not only be us. ”

Chen Yan exclaimed: "Could it be that these two people also want to defeat Chang'an?" ”

Xu Rong nodded and said: "Of course, a mere Dingyuan Stone City will definitely not be able to fill the stomachs of the two of them, and when the time comes, they will naturally want to take Chang'an and live a hostage addiction to the Son of Heaven." Dong Zhuo is invincible in the world because of this road, and the two of them will definitely want to be the second Dong Zhuo. ”

Chen Yan thought of the terrifying strength of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, not to mention that Xiliang was still a master of Ma Chao's level, if it was attacked, Chen Yan would definitely be difficult to resist.

Xu Rong said: "At this time, although we intercepted one of Lu Bu's envoys, but this recklessness is long, I stopped one, but I can't stop the second and third, presumably it won't be long before Ma Teng and Han Sui will get the news and go east." ”

Chen Yan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately ordered: "Gather everyone, let's take the account!" ”

……

When night came, Chen Yan was already sitting in the big tent, lined up on the left and right, which was the backbone of this Dingyuan City.

Chen Yan frowned, and asked loudly: "Lu Bu intends to collude with Ma Teng Han Sui and attack us, what do you think?" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they were a little dazed and at a loss.

Yang Feng said: "My lord, the last general has resisted the invasion of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry near the Baibo Valley, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is an excellent place to counterattack. ”

Chen Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and he said: "Yes, this is also a way, but if Lu Bu sends troops from Luoyang, under the attack of the two phases, can you ensure that we are not defeated?" ”

Yang Feng shook his head and sighed, "This ......"

Li Su said: "My lord, Brother Lord, Lu Bu and Xiliang people have the most powerful cavalry troops in the world at the same time, and Dingyuan Stone City is located on the plain, if we defend here, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist these two powerful cavalry troops......
