( ) Winter goes to spring, in the blink of an eye it is another year, Chen Xunzhi is growing up smoothly under the care of many family members, Chen Yan looked at his son who was sleeping in the sun in his own house in Luoyang City at this time, and his heart was indescribably happy.

Xiao Xunzhi looks very similar to Chen Yan, this child is a mixture of Han and Hu people, so his body is very strong, his eyebrows are straight, and he can see that he is a handsome guy.

The only fly in the ointment is that the child's hair is a little yellow, which is probably related to the blood of the Hu people.

At this time, there was another person beside Chen Yan, a little restrained, and seemed to be a little timid, he was Wang Dan, the vanguard officer who fought bravely, and the child of Wang Dan's family had just been born for a long time, so Chen Yan always liked to pull him to ask questions.

Although Chen Yan is back in time, no matter what era, Chen Yan has no experience in giving birth to children, and now the birth of Xun Zhi makes Chen Yan feel uneasy, and he begins to doubt whether he can be a good father.

However, Hu Ji didn't seem to be as nervous as Chen Yan, she was like a normal person, and she didn't see how much pressure there was.

Wang Shan sat beside Chen Yan at this time, drinking spring tea with Chen Yan, obviously, his lord's generous treatment of him made him very uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to look at Chen Yan with his eyes.

Chen Yan knew that Wang Dan had always been so shy, and immediately smiled: "What? Am I that scary? ”

Wang Shan hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and said in a low voice: "No, the lord is amiable, how can it be scary?" ”

Chen Yan smiled: "That's right, why are you so afraid of me?" Do you think I can eat you? ”

Wang Shan hurriedly shook his head, smiled shyly, and didn't know how to continue.

Chen Yan still likes Wang Dan's character, although he is a little shy and introverted, but at least it shows that he is a reliable person, although he has betrayed Chen Yan, but at least he will change his mistakes. The prodigal son turned back, and the gold did not change.

The two were talking, and suddenly there were footsteps outside, and then two people came, both of whom were very familiar to Chen Yan, one was Jia Xu, and the other was the young and vigorous Sima Yi.

Chen Yan and Wang Dan both showed welcoming expressions, Chen Yan got up and said, "Mr. Jia Xu, Erlang, you have come just in time." ”

Jia Xu took a step forward, bowed down and said, "Back to the lord, the armament has been built, and we are waiting for the order to recruit new soldiers." ”

Chen Yan smiled slightly, and he already had a plan in his heart. At the beginning, Sima Yi was responsible for the iron armor equipment captured from Yuan Shu's place, although it was only a few months, but Sima Yi had completed the task brilliantly, not only connecting all these iron armors into weapons, but also distributing them reasonably, without any waste.

This was not only unexpected by Chen Yan, but also a little unexpected by Guo Jia and Jia Xu.

Chen Yan couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "I thought Sima Yi was a genius who was good at tactics and strategy, but I didn't expect that he was also excellent in handling internal work, it seems that this Sima Yi is indeed a genius." ”

And Guo Jia often mentioned when discussing with Chen Yan that this Sima Yi is a tough guy, although he is young, he has already shown an irrepressible talent, and over time, I am afraid that he can become the backbone of Chen Yan's team.

Chen Yan listened to Guo Jia's high evaluation, but his heart was mixed, the joy was that Sima Yi was indeed a genius, if there was no Zhuge Kongming, I am afraid that no one in the late Three Kingdoms would be able to teach Sima Yi a short and long; What worries Sima Yi is that he is a wolf at this time, and he has the appearance of a wolf, and he will definitely rebel in the future.

A person whose strengths and weaknesses are so obvious is really hard to give up.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but think in his heart: "Sima Yi is like a double-edged sword, if it is used properly, then the whole world will be at your fingertips, if it is not used properly, it will definitely be burdened by him in the future, it is better to secretly support another figure who can compete with Sima Yi, and then he can also contain each other with Sima Yi." ”

And as soon as he had this idea, Chen Yan's first thought was Guo Jia, because Guo Jia was not much older than Sima Yi, but Guo Jia was a short-lived poor worm, and he didn't know if his crossing could help Guo Jia break through the number of lives.

Chen Yan secretly thought: "Guo Jia died on the way to the Eastern Expedition to Liaodong in history, and now it seems that Guo Jia is indeed physically weak, if I avoid overworking him, then will I be able to avoid all this......"

Chen Yan was only thinking about himself at this time, but he forgot that Jia Xu and Sima Yi were talking over there.

The two talked for a long time, seeing Chen Yan thinking about things by himself, Jia Xu couldn't stand it, and couldn't help coughing......

With this cough, Chen Yan immediately woke up and suddenly realized that he had missed most of the two of them.

Chen Yan was a little embarrassed and asked, "Huh?" What were you two talking about? ”

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Fang Cai Erlang said that Liu Bei has fled to Chenliu since he was defeated by Xiahoudun, and with the help of General Zhang Yan, they finally resisted Xiahoudun's pursuit, but at this time, starting from the three cities of Dongjun, half of Yanzhou fell back into Cao Cao's hands, and Beihai and Xiaopei fell successively, which also gave Cao Cao the capital to make a comeback......"

Cao Cao's counterattack did come very quickly, and Chen Yan even wondered if this Cao Cao was open, otherwise how could he recover so many troops in such a short time.

Chen Yan thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more headache he felt, after all, he had a hand-to-hand fight with Cao Cao before, and he was stabbed in the back by Yuan Shu, and now he is slightly backward in terms of strength and combat readiness.

The property of the Sima family did give Chen Yan a lot of help, but the equipment could be replenished in a short time, and the soldiers were slow to work.

At this time, Chen Yan was already the great Sima of the Han Dynasty, and he was in the most sensitive place in Guanzhong, although there were still some men in Guanzhong who had not yet joined the army, but if Chen Yan recruited men on a large scale, it would inevitably cause the people to complain.

And this result will seriously affect Chen Yan's prestige, and these unfavorable remarks will directly reach the ears of the saints.

The little emperor is not young at this time, and he has more and more ideas of his own, although Chen Yan, the big Sima, was personally sealed by the little emperor, but the Son of Heaven is a person who pays attention to prestige, if he hears that Chen Yan has such a bad reputation, it will inevitably affect Chen Yan's career.

The relationship between the monarch and the minister is sometimes so delicate.

The more Chen Yan thought about it, the more headache he felt, he sighed bitterly, and said: "Cao Cao is indeed very tricky, if General Lu Bu did not go south to conquer Yuanshu, then he can definitely help me, and now Lu Bu is not here, to deal with Cao Cao, I have more than enough strength but not enough strength......"
