Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 342 Unexpected Solicitation

The noise of the barracks gradually disappeared as the night fell. In this season, the temperature on both sides of the Yellow River has completely cooled down, with a bit of coolness unique to autumn. However, for ordinary soldiers, the impact of temperature changes is still very large.

"Strong energy and blood!" In the barracks, Chu Nan gathered two hundred soldiers of his own, and used words to strengthen their energy and blood. In the absence of luggage, this method can only be used to drive the soldiers away. cold.

After all, this is not his own territory, and there is very little popularity that can be borrowed. However, the arrogance in Chu Nan's chest is already very strong, and he can still support this level of speech.

Even though they were used to being taken care of by their lord, the soldiers still had expressions of emotion on their faces.

For the generals, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with the guards, because in times of real crisis, these people will block the sword for you, but even so, it is necessary to use words and spells to drive the soldiers away from the cold. , It is still beyond the understanding of Yuan Jun.

So when Cen Bi saw that Chu Nan used words to drive away the cold for his personal guards, he was somewhat surprised.

"Mr. Ziyan, my lord invites you to discuss matters in the tent." Cen Bi saluted Chu Nan, and his attitude towards Chu Nan had changed drastically at this moment.

Originally, the other party only knew two of the Nine Secrets of the Imperial Army, so he still had some contempt, but when Chu Nan really showed his use of the Nine Secrets on the battlefield, this contempt quickly turned into admiration.

Obviously, although Chu Nan can only know two kinds, the power he displays is completely different from those who are limited to using them. Even Yuan Tan has never seen that he can use the secret of Feng Zi to Chu Nan. This kind of situation.

The military is different from other places, this place only respects capable people, and Chu Nan's performance today is enough to earn him the respect of these people.

"Let's go." Chu Nan nodded, and after the soldiers settled down, they took Zhou Cang and Cen Bi to Yuan Tan's main tent.

When Chu Nan arrived, Zong Wang was already in the tent, but he didn't speak. When he saw Chu Nan and Cen Bi coming in, Yuan Tan got up to greet him.

"Ziyan deceived me so hard." Yuan Tan looked at Chu Nan, and was somewhat stunned when he opened his mouth.

"Although I am not a gentleman, what I practice is the way of a gentleman. Deceiving people is against the teachings of my teacher." Chu Nan sat down and shook his head, saying with a serious face.

Zhou Cang behind Chu Nan suddenly felt that he had discovered the Huadian. The lord said that lying to others violated the teachings of his teacher, but he did not say that he did not violate them. According to the way of thinking of normal people, he naturally felt that the other party would not violate them, but Zhou Cang knew very well Who is the protagonist.

The protagonist did not lie, but his words were ambiguous and deliberately diverted people's thoughts elsewhere. Even if things were revealed later, he did not lie, but in fact, he did.

Recalling all the lies that Chu Nan said before, it seems that... the lord really did not lie!

Not mentioning Zhou Cang's wild thoughts, Yuan Tan said: "Zi Yan clearly said that he doesn't know how to command an army, but if Zi Yan hadn't acted in time today, our army would be in danger."

"These two hundred soldiers were gifted by my father-in-law. Each of them has experienced many battles and is already extremely strong. As a personal guard, I train myself on weekdays. I can still command 200 people, but a thousand troops Wanma just..." As he spoke, Chu Nan shook his head and smiled: "Besides, I'm not very talented. Although I studied the art of war hard, I only know the two secrets since I learned the art of war. No matter how difficult it is to comprehend the others, I can only study the two secrets intensively."

After a series of defeats, Yuan Tan, Cen Bi, and Zong Wang also understood that meeting and essence are two concepts. Yuan Tan knows the Seven Secrets, but the power displayed by Yuan Tan is a bit hard to describe compared to what Chu Nan showed today.

Along the way, they were first broken by Xia Houyuan, and they were also broken by Chu Nan for a short time. Now under Xuchang City, Qin Qi was obviously not as good as Xia Houyuan, but they still almost defeated them.

At this moment, Yuan Tan regretted that when he came to Qingzhou, he did not accept his father's dispatch of generals, and wanted to break out of the world on his own. Now it seems that although they have won every battle in Qingzhou to suppress bandits, they really met Cao Jun or Xuzhou Army. The master of a hundred battles, the Qingzhou elite he is proud of is a little helpless.

If there were one or two good generals under his command, he wouldn't be bullied everywhere like he is now. Back then, when he was with his father, he only wanted to get rid of his father's protection as soon as possible and prove himself with his ability, but when he really came out to lead the army alone, he didn't Find out how naive the original idea was.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Tan looked at Chu Nan and said, "Zi Yan, have you ever thought about working for my father?"

This time, he really wanted to recruit Chu Nan, even if he would face criticism from some gentry, he could just push it to Lu Bu. Chu Nan is a rare talent.

Whether it's strategy or control of the battle situation, if you listen to Chu Nan today, you don't need to rush to attack the city, but join forces to surround and kill Qin Qi's troops first, and you won't have to rely on Chu Nan to turn the situation around.

Chu Nan is a good talent, Yuan Tan wants to take him under his command, but he also knows that his performance has been a bit slow, so he dragged out his father, hoping to use his father's name to take Chu Nan under his command.

Win over yourself?It turned out to be sincere! ?

Chu Nan looked at Yuan Tan in astonishment, and after reconfirming his intentions, he couldn't laugh or cry. Before he knew it, he had become a talent enough to be valued by these powerful forces.

"I have also admired Yuan Gong for a long time." After thinking for a moment, Chu Nan said with a smile: "However, brother Xiansi, if I really betray the kindness of knowing you and marry my daughter to my father-in-law because of this, it is obvious Brother Si, can you still think highly of me?"

This question is easy to answer. In this era, princes and employers generally pay attention to virtue. No matter what they do in private, at least you have a good reputation to the outside world. What Chu Nan said is to put this matter above morality. If you use me, If you want me to be immoral, not only will my reputation be tarnished, but you will also have a bad reputation.

Yuan Tan felt a little regretful, but he didn't consider this issue, and sighed: "It's a pity that Ziyan's talent is only used."

What a pity?
Naturally, he felt that Lu Bu did not deserve the allegiance of someone like Chu Nan.

Chu Nan smiled and said nothing, aside from other things, among the princes today, who can trust him like Lu Bu and delegate power to himself, and which prince can absolutely support his ideas like Lu Bu?

Now that Liu Bei is up and willing to recruit him, he will not take a second look, because he knows very well that it is difficult for Liu Bei to fully support him. Even if he votes for Liu Bei, he will not have such great autonomy, and Liu Bei is not like Like Lu Bu, at such an old age, he simply hasn't established his own principles of doing things.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is not a good thing, but in the eyes of Chu Nan, this is exactly what attracts Lu Bu. With the right method, he can create a big pattern little by little, able to stand on the shoulders of other princes. See the world from the big deal.

"Everyone has their own chances. After the young master is from a famous family, he will surely find someone far superior to his subordinates to assist the young master and achieve great things!" Chu Nan comforted with a smile.

"Don't talk about that." Yuan Tan waved his hand and said, "I invited Ziyan here to discuss how to destroy the city next?"

Chu Nan shook his head and said: "Qin Qi is dead, but the city has not been breached. There may be other generals in the city. Qin Qi has explained it before leaving the city, or it may be due to the magistrate of Xuchang County. No matter what, It is impossible for us to defeat Xu Chang in a short time."

"Mr. Ziyan, didn't I come here to attack the city?" Zong Wang frowned.

"Yes and no." Chu Nan said with a smile, "Our ultimate goal is to destroy Cao's army, but the main force of Cao's army is not in Xuchang, but in Shouzhang. At this time, Shouzhang may have received the news of our army's presence here. There must be chaos."

Chu Nan looked at Yuan Tan and said with a smile: "Brother Xiansi, don't worry, brother Xiansi has made great contributions so far in this battle. After this battle, at least this Dongping belongs to brother Xiansi."

Dongping is sandwiched between Taishan County, Qingzhou Jibei County, Jiyin County and Dongjun County, and the connection with Qingzhou is weak. If Yuan Tan is at ease with this Dongping County, let him hold it temporarily. Chu Nan can easily cut off the connection between Dongping and Qingzhou, and then swallow it up.

If Yuan Tan doesn't give up after taking Dongping down, and still has his idea of ​​Taishan County as before, then Dongping will be taken back directly.

Looking at Yuan Tan, he didn't see that he had any similar thoughts for the time being, Chu Nan smiled and said: "So what our army has to do at this time is not to attack the city, but to guard against the soldiers and horses who came back from Shou Zhang."

"If Xiahouyuan comes again, our army may not be the opponent." Yuan Tan sighed, Xiahouyuan's ability to cast a great shadow on Yuan Tan is also because of losing to Xiahouyuan and Chunan successively, Yuan Tan lost a little bit of arrogance .

"Brother Xiansi, don't worry. Although Xia Houyuan is strong, he is not invincible. Our army only needs to build a camp and garrison it with the help of barriers. It would be delusional for Xia Houyuan to attack our army with a small force." Chu Nan laughed.

It is doomed to be defeated by Yuan Tan and his generals head-on, but it is still possible to rely on building defenses. As long as the general's camp is stronger, at least in the short term, Xia Houyuan can't do anything against them.

Over there, Zhang Liao and the others have already organized troops to attack Shouzhang. This battle is destined not to last for too long. As long as they can delay with Xia Houyuan for a few days, Shouzhang might be defeated.

Yuan Tan's face was a little strange, didn't they come to attack the city?Why do you need to defend instead?

"In addition, we need to keep asking people to go to the city to shout, to see if we can get the defenders to surrender." Chu Nan continued, if the defender of the city is the county magistrate, then with the reputation of the Yuan family and the current situation of the Cao army, call for surrender. The probability is still low.

Yuan Tan nodded silently: "Okay, according to Ziyan's strategy, we will strengthen the barracks overnight and confront Xia Houyuan!"
