Sun Ren on the side saw the intimate behavior between the two, and his eyes couldn't help but have a trace of sourness, and a strong emotion flooded his heart.

Chen Chu smiled, and then said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai, you can explain." "Yes." Chen Gong made a promise, with a hint of a smile on his serious face.

Chen Gong saluted Zhang Rui with a fist again, and explained: "There is a more important reason for the lord's move. The Luoyang area is different from other places, this is the place where the Shi clan gate lords gather in the world, and the power of the Shi clan gate lords is quite strong here, so if we want to control Luoyang, we must get the support of some Shi clan gate valves, at least we can't let them gamble now! Zhang

Rui kind of understood, but not very clear.

Chen Gong continued: "The Wei family has lived in Hedong for generations, is the largest scholar clan in Hedong, and has considerable influence in the Luoyang area, so it can be said that he represents the attitude of some of the scholar clans. If we can win the Wei family, then the resistance of the Shi clan gate valve in the Luoyang area will be greatly reduced! In addition, the lord's kindness to the Wei family is also a signal, even a scholar like the Wei family, the lord can treat him well, so why worry about other scholars who have no disagreement with the lord?

Zhang Rui suddenly realized, and then looked at Chen Gong suspiciously, and then at Chen Chu, "Could it be that you have already planned it?"

Chen Chu and Chen Gong glanced at each other and laughed.

"It's so treacherous! I thought you were that magnanimous! Zhang Rui pursed the corners of her lips and sighed. She was the only one who dared to speak like that.

Once again, the eyes of the crowd converged on the ceiling, as if there was a treasure on the ceiling.

Chen Chu pinched Zhang Rui's nose in annoyance, and threatened in her ear: "Look how I punish you at night!" Zhang Rui raised her eyebrows, as if to say: Who is afraid of whom! Chen Chu hated it so much that his teeth itched, and he wanted to hit Zhang Rui's buttocks hard.

Sun Ren next to him clearly heard Chen Chu speak, and also understood what Chen Chu meant. His cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes flashed with embarrassment and annoyance.

That night, Chen Chu caught Zhang Rui in the room and practiced kung fu all night.

The next day, Zhang Rui walked a little deformed, her cheeks were red all the time, and she looked at Chen Chu with an angry look. Sun Ren obviously didn't sleep well, his eyes were a little dark, and the look in his eyes at Chen Chu was no different from looking at a lewd stick.

When Chen Chu left Hedong, Wei Qi led his clansmen and the scholars who were friends with the Wei family in Hedong County to go out of the city to see him off. Want to know what 'flattery' means? The expressions on these people's faces now are a true reflection of the word.

After the 160,000-strong army arrived at the Yellow River, they immediately began to build pontoon bridges. Three days later, all 160,000 troops crossed the Yellow River. Another day later, the army came to Luoyang City to join the elite of the 50,000 Second Army Corps, which had arrived first.

At the same time, in Wancheng, two hundred miles away, Zhang Xiu was hesitating. The envoys from Chen Chu and Yuan Shao were now in the city, and they were all trying to persuade him, and he didn't know how to choose.

Zhang Xiu and Chen Chu certainly have a grudge, but he is unwilling to ask Zhang Xiu to pay for his own life for this revenge. What's more, as the envoy on Chen Chu's side said, the Northern Army has the potential to sweep the world, why doesn't he lean on this big tree?

However, the conditions offered by Yuan Shao are also very attractive, and the control of Runan is very attractive!

Just when Zhang Xiu racked his brains and thought about it, his subordinates reported, "General, Yuan Shao's envoy asks to see!"

Zhang Xiu sighed distressedly, "Bring him in." "Yes."

The messenger sent by Yuan Shao was called Xin Bi, who was originally under the command of Han Fu, and after Han Fu was destroyed, he took refuge with his brother Xin Ping, and he is now a strategist under Yuan Shao, who is neither red nor purple.

Zhang Xiu and Xin Bi talked sneakily in the inner hall for half an hour. Then Simbi left like a prostitute who had come out of the green house.

"Someone." Zhang Xiu raised his voice.

"General." Zhang Xiu's henchman, Han Tong, came in and promised.

"Quickly send someone to catch Chen Chu's messenger!"

Han Tong was slightly shocked, "General, isn't this equivalent to breaking with the Northern Army?"

Zhang Xiu's eyes were cold and said: "I have decided to unite with Yuan Shao to fight against the Northern Army!" Seeing that Han Tong was still hesitating there, he said in a deep voice: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Just go! Seeing

that Zhang Xiu's mind had been decided, Han Tong had no choice but to agree. Immediately, more than 100 armor soldiers left the Taishou Mansion under the leadership of Han Tong.

......

There is a small courtyard not far from the side of Wancheng Taishou Mansion, although it is not big, but the environment is quiet and elegant, it is a good place to live. At this moment, the person living in this courtyard was not Zhang Xiu's command, but the messenger sent by Chen Chu, Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang. Chen Chu didn't plan to send Sima Lang because this trip was quite risky, but Sima Lang tried his best to ask for his life, and Zhou Yu analyzed the importance of this trip, so Chen Chu finally agreed to Sima Lang's request.

Outside the courtyard, there were heavy footsteps, the firelight flickered, and there was a faint sound of swords and soldiers. Sima Lang, who was writing in the study, couldn't help frowning, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. Standing up and walking out of the study, it happened that Yang Wei, the captain of the Iron Guards sent to him by Chen Chu, ran over with an anxious face, and more than a dozen Iron Guards followed him.

"What's going on?" Sima Lang asked in a deep voice.

"Zhang Xiu's subordinate Han Tong led people to surround the courtyard! Obviously trying to disadvantage Mr.! Sir, I'll take my brother to protect Mr. and kill it! Yang Wei said urgently, and the iron guards around him all drew their swords out of their sheaths.

"Wait! Being in the heart of the other party, it is impossible for dozens of us to rush out! And maybe it's not the worst yet! Sima Lang said indifferently. After that, he walked to the gate of the courtyard. Yang Wei hurriedly led the iron guard to follow.

When they came to the gate of the courtyard, four iron guards were facing the gate, and more than a dozen iron guards had drawn their swords behind the gate.

"Yang Wei, order them to open the gate!"

"Sir!" , Yang Wei frowned, and his melancholy was overflowing.

"I think there's room for things to turn around, otherwise they'll start banging on the door, and where will it be as quiet as it is now!" Sima Lang smiled confidently.

Seeing Sima Lang's insistence, Yang Wei had no choice but to order: "Open the courtyard gate!" The

gate of the courtyard was opened, and the light of the fire shone violently, and hundreds of soldiers were arrayed in front of the gate with torches and blades, and a general sat on a war horse.

As soon as the two sides looked at each other, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Sima Lang looked at it for a moment, raised his feet and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, and Yang Wei immediately led the iron guards to protect Sima Lang's left and right.

"Yang Wei, you all go back!"

Yang Wei was taken aback, "Sir!

"I command you to go back!"

Yang Wei couldn't, so he had to lead the iron guards back to the courtyard, but they all stayed at the door, watching the situation intently, and they were ready to rush forward at any time.

Sima Lang hugged his fist at Han Tong, who was on top of the war horse, and said, "Why did General Han come so late?" "

My general has an order, please come over to the house!" Han Tong's tone was quite polite.

Sima Lang smiled slightly, "In that case, general, please lead the way!" "

Please!" Han Tong made a gesture of please, and the soldiers on the side got out of the way.

Sima Lang turned his head to Yang Wei in the courtyard and said, "You stay in this courtyard, and I'll go see General Zhang."

Yang Wei hugged his fists at Sima Lang and said, "Sir, please take care!" Sima Lang smiled and nodded.

Sima Lang followed Han Tong to Taishou Mansion, and then led Han Tong to the inner hall. The atmosphere in the inner hall was very strange, not only Zhang Xiu, but also four sword and axe men on the left and right.

Sima Lang secretly sneered, hugged his fists at Zhang Xiu and said, "General Zhang."

Zhang Xiu looked at Sima Lang coldly and asked, "Sir, do you know why I invited you here?"

Sima Lang glanced at the knife and axe hands on both sides, and said with a smile: "General Zhang sent troops to invite you all night, and prepared sword and axe hands in the hall, I don't think it's to welcome you!"

Zhang Xiu sneered: "Mr. is a smart person. That's right, I'm going to take down the skull flag today! The four axemen took a sharp step forward, and a murderous aura erupted.

Sima Lang laughed out loud, his face showing no fear.

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then secretly admired, people who can laugh in this situation are respectable people.

"Why is the gentleman laughing? Don't you know that you're about to die? Zhang Xiu asked, her tone softened.

Sima Lang paused his laughter, shook his head and sighed: "I laugh at the heroes of General Zhang's generation who are willing to be used as tools!"

Zhang Xiu's face turned cold, "Am I not a tool when I cooperate with you?"

Sima Lang clenched his fists with a solemn look and said, "General Zhang, can you listen to me?"

Zhang Xiu squinted at Sima Lang for a moment, nodded and said, "Say it." But you can just bloom lotus flowers, and you will die today! Sima Lang smiled nonchalantly.

After thinking for a while, Sima Lang asked, "The envoy who thought of Yuan Shao must have used some old things to encourage General Zhang, and also promised to give up Runan to General Zhang?" Zhang Xiu was slightly startled, but did not speak.

Seeing Zhang Xiu's reaction, Sima Lang immediately confirmed his guess. Then he asked, "Does General Zhang think that the alliance with Yuan Shao will be able to defeat our army?"

Zhang Xiu frowned slightly, "Although the Northern Army is strong, if our army unites with Yuan Shao, then the victory or defeat will be five or five!" "The strong combat effectiveness of the Northern Army and the prestige won by the Southern and Northern Conquests over the years made Zhang Xiu very jealous.

Hearing Zhang Xiu say this, Sima Lang's confidence increased by one point. smiled slightly, and said: "Regardless of the final result of this battle, has the general thought about it, after the matter is completed, will Yuan Shao really give up the rich Runan to the general as promised?" "

This...?" , Zhang Xiu frowned, and his expression was uncertain.

Knowing that Zhang Xiu had been shaken, Sima Lang hit the railway while it was hot: "If the general cooperates with our army, he can easily take Runan now!"

Zhang Xiu was stunned, he hadn't understood yet.

Sima Lang continued: "Now that my lord has led a large army to Luoyang, Yuan Shao is bound to transfer all the main forces to Luoyang to resist my lord!" At most, there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled guards in Runan! Sima Lang's voice was full of temptation.

Speaking of this, if Zhang Xiu still doesn't understand, then he is really an animal.

Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up, and her eyes flashed with excitement. I thought to myself: How could I not have thought of such a simple truth? At this time, if I lead an army to raid Runan, will I not fight down!

"General Zhang, it seems that we can talk about it in detail!" Sima Lang said with a smile.
