"In short, our army will win this battle!" Yuan Tan said firmly. He could not think of any reason for his failure in this battle.
Cen Bi nodded and was about to say a few words, but at this moment, his and Yuan Tan's expressions changed. They looked above their heads at the same time and saw that countless mountains on the mountain were collapsing. For a moment, it was like a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking.
"Lord, let's go!" Without any time to think, Cen Bi grabbed Yuan Tan and ran forward. The countless soldiers behind him had no time to react and were crushed by the rocks falling from the sky. Immediately afterwards, countless rocks fell, and a
As time went by, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered, and screams continued.
After the two of them rushed a hundred steps away, they looked back, but felt that their scalps were numb. A large section of the mountain wall collapsed, and at least hundreds of people were buried under the rocks. Only a few people rushed here after them.
Ten personal guards.
What made the two of them even more heartbroken was that a group of people appeared from the end of the mountain road and surrounded Yuan Tan and the dozens of people he brought with him at extremely fast speeds.
People, unless possessed by the Overlord, cannot escape no matter what!
"Who is Mr. Yuan Tan and Mr. Yuan?" A young man in brocade clothes rode out and looked at the group of people with a smile. His eyes rested on the generals Yuan Tan and Cen Bi. The young man had a handsome appearance and elegant temperament.
The clothes are gorgeous, but they don't give people a sense of luxury. There is always a gentle smile between his eyebrows, which makes it difficult for people to feel disgusted at first sight.
"Who are you? How dare you block the road here!?" Cen Bi rode out, pointed at the young man in brocade and shouted angrily.
"Excuse me, Chu Nan. I heard that Mr. Xiansi wanted to come to Mount Tai as a guest. I was very happy and came here all night to welcome him. I hope you will forgive me for my lack of etiquette!" Chu Nan said with a smile and clasped his fists.
Chu Nan!?
Yuan Tan and Cen Bi were shocked when they heard this and looked at Chu Nan warily.
Betrayed!
This is the only thought in the minds of Yuan Tan and others at this moment. If not for this, it is really difficult to explain that Chu Nan would appear here so coincidentally. But what puzzles them is why Chu Nan could lay an ambush here in advance. You know
They informed us of their exact information the day before yesterday. Even if Chu Nan got the information in time, how could he have time to make so many preparations?
Can it be arranged in a day or two?
"Brother Ziyan, what a trick." Yuan Tan didn't quite understand how Chu Nan did this, but at this point, he couldn't give in. He pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed at Chu Nan and said: "But I want to
Yuan’s life is not that easy.”
"Formation!" Cen Bi pointed his spear at Chu Nan, and the Qingzhou soldiers behind him quickly formed a military formation and faced Chu Nan.
"Brother Xiansi, what do you mean by this?" Chu Nan waved his hand and said, "I don't want to be wary. I am not here to take the young master's life. It's just that the young master seems to have misunderstood me."
"What do you mean by this?" Yuan Tan frowned. He didn't believe every word of Chu Nan's words and was not willing to fight. Was the collapse of the mountain behind him an accident? Or was Chu Nan's ambush here an accident? You, Chu Rentu, are not willing to fight.
, those scholars who died under the butcher's knife from Xuzhou to Runan and then to Taishan County may not be able to change the world.
"I came here. It is true that I accidentally learned that Brother Xiansi had some misunderstandings about me. He led his troops here to explain. As for this place..." Chu Nan looked at the collapsed mountain and said with a wry smile: "Brother Xiansi looks good.
Take a look, or send someone up to take a look, is there any trace of manpower? You said that I am ambushing here, I agree, but I have never sent troops to dig into the mountain. I came here sincerely to make friends with Brother Xiansi."
After saying that, Chu Nan said helplessly: "Besides, brother Xiansi is the eldest son of Duke Yuan, and will inherit Duke Yuan's legacy in the future. If I really kill brother Xiansi, one day Duke Yuan will be so angry that he will overthrow the people of Hebei."
When soldiers come to attack, not to mention my younger brother, even my father-in-law will not be able to stop him. If I kill Brother Xiansi right now, am I not asking for my own death?"
It seems to make some sense!
Listening to Chu Nan's words, Yuan Tan frowned, but he believed it in his heart and said to Cen Bi: "General Cen!"
"Here!" Cen Bi understood, agreed, silently stepped back, and then climbed towards the hillside. His arms were agile and powerful, and he was like an ape in the mountain. In just ten breaths, he had already climbed to the place where the mountain collapsed, and carefully inspected it.
Then, he ran back quickly.
"My lord, there are indeed no traces of manpower, but there are a lot of ants on it. It seems that the ants have been chewing on it all year round and damaged the mountain." Cen Bi returned to Yuan Tan and whispered.
Is it my own misfortune?
Yuan Tan was a little speechless. He had been fussing for a long time. It turned out that he was unlucky. He looked at the trap formed around him, and then thought about Chu Nan's words. His expression softened a little, and he clasped his fists at Chu Nan and said, "Looking at it from this point of view, it's true.
I'm being reckless, don't blame Ziyan!"
"Where!" Chu Nan waved his hand and signaled Lu Qian to withdraw from the army. He looked at Yuan Tan and said, "Young Master seems to be in trouble. Why don't you follow me back to the city? Since you are here, let me show my friendship as a landlord."
how?"
"You want to imprison me?" Yuan Tan asked warily.
"How could Brother Xiansi think so?" Chu Nan shook his head and said, "I came here first to resolve the misunderstanding with Brother Xiansi. This time Brother Xiansi came to attack. It was obviously an evil person who was instigating it. I don't know.
I am willing to be an enemy of brother Xiansi. My father-in-law admires Mr. Yuan even more and is willing to be friends forever."
Friends forever?
Yuan Tan sneered disdainfully in his heart, not to mention Lu Bu's poor character and reputation, given the current situation between the two parties, how could they be friends forever?
This Chu Ziyan is too naive.
However, the current situation is not good for him. Even if he feels disdainful, it is impossible to show it. Yuan Tan still has this in the city.
"Secondly, I just want to talk to Brother Xiansi about joining forces!" Chu Nan said with a smile.
"Join forces?" Yuan Tan frowned.
"Yes, join forces!" Chu Nan nodded, clasped his fists at Yuan Tan and said, "Although our army has defeated Cao Cao, the remnants of Cao Cao are still defending Dongjun and Jiyin counties."
"What Zi Yan means..." Yuan Tan's eyes lit up. It seems that Taishan County can't be invaded now, but that may not be true for Jiyin and Dongjun. The remnants of the Cao family are now unstable. In fact, they seem to be worse than Chu.
South is easier to fight.
"Our army of about 60,000 troops is confronting the remnants of the Cao family. However, although Cao Cao is dead, the remnants of the Cao family still have some strength. It is difficult to capture them for a while. If Brother Xiansi attacks from the rear at this time, the opponent's rear is empty.
At that time, we will definitely be able to defeat them. At that time, we are willing to share the land of these two counties equally with Brother Xiansi." Chu Nan Surong said.
"How to divide it equally?" Yuan Tan looked at Chu Nan and said.
"Our army has won Dongjun, and Brother Xiansi has won Jiyin. I wonder what Brother Xiansi wants?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.
"This..." Yuan Tan frowned.
"Brother Xiansi, our army has dispatched 60,000 troops. Not to mention the huge number of people participating in the battle, the main force of Cao's army has been completely attracted by our army. Brother Xiansi even only needs to send his troops to Jiyin to capture a county without a single blow.
, Although the decisive victory belongs to brother Xiansi, the place we conquer is divided equally between you and me. If brother Xiansi is not satisfied yet, not only will it be difficult for him to explain to his father-in-law, but the soldiers who went on the expedition may not be able to take him with him!" Chu Nan sighed.
road.
Yuan Tan pretended to think about it, but in fact, he was quite satisfied with this distribution. As Chu Nan said, in this battle, Lu Bu's men contributed the most, but he could easily take away half of it, and in the end
, it’s not him who has the final say as to how much?
It seems that Chu Nan is not as hateful as the legend says. Or, perhaps, they thought that by conquering the Central Plains, they would be able to join the gentry clan, so did they start to want to become good friends with the gentry?
Yuan Tan looked at Chu Nan's handsome face and suddenly felt that this person was not as hateful as before.
"Okay, today you and I got acquainted, and as soon as we hit it off with Zi Yan, we followed Zi Yan's words and formed an alliance to conspire with the remnants of the Cao family." Yuan Tan said with a smile.
"This road is difficult, but it's hard work, Brother Xiansi. It's better to go to Fenggao. The road is easier. How about you and I also discuss sending troops?" Chu Nan looked at Yuan Tan and said with a smile.
Yuan Tan was still a little hesitant when he heard this.
Chu Nan smiled and said: "I forgot that there are still soldiers from the rear who have not followed. How about we pick up the soldiers from the rear and raise them together?"
Yuan Tan relaxed his guard after hearing this, nodded and said, "That's fine, I have Lao Ziyan."
"No trouble!" Chu Nan smiled.
At that moment, Chu Nan ordered Lu Qian to lead people to dig out the mountain. The second priority was to save people. The main thing was to open a road to lead the Qingzhou Army who was blocked in the rear.
Cen Bi also brought people to help. The two sides helped each other, but they were completely different from each other.
Yuan Tan came to Chu Nan and glanced at Zhou Cang who was standing next to Chu Nan. If Zhou Cang was aware of it, he turned back and glared at him.
"Your bodyguard is quite majestic." Yuan Tan ignored him, came to Chu Nan and asked, "Zi Yan, since we have formed an alliance, can you tell me who missed me?"
"Brother Xiansi, please don't embarrass me. Although Nan is not a good person, I would never do such a thing as betraying a friend." Chu Nan looked solemnly and looked at Yuan Tan seriously.
"It's me, Meng Lang!" Yuan Tan looked solemn when he heard this, nodded to Chu Nan, and said with admiration: "It seems that the world has misunderstood Zi Yan!"
But he was slandering in his heart, considering the reputation of your son-in-law, what kind of friends can you have? Most of them are tempting you with benefits and loyalty?
However, looking at Chu Nan's righteous and awe-inspiring look, Yuan Tan didn't know if he was just pretending. The two sides had just made peace, so there was no need to get upset over such a trivial matter.
However, Jiyin alone is not enough. After taking Jiyin, we need to find a way to take over Taishan County. In this way, when his father goes south, Lu Bu will have nothing to defend except the river. Moreover, if he sends troops in winter,
The big river will no longer be dangerous!
Chu Nan looked back at him. Yuan Tan's heart skipped a beat, but a smile appeared on his face. Chu Nan also showed a friendly smile. After smiling at each other for a while, the two of them looked away.
Chu Nan felt that it was a bit awkward for the two men to giggle at each other like this, but Yuan Tan had a secret in his heart and did not dare to look at Chu Nan more.
They worked until evening before Lu Qian and Cen Bi picked up Yuan Tan's men. As for those who were trapped under the rocks, there was no way to save them. The group was divided into two teams, one in front and one in back, and went to Ying County before dark.
, after resting for a night in Ying County, the two sides set off early the next morning, all the way to Fenggao...
