The next day, Xun Chen packed his bags and prepared to return to Yecheng. However, just as he walked to the gate of the camp, he met a person head-on.

It's his fellow countryman Guo Tu.

"Public principles."

"Youruo." Guo Tu greeted him with a smile: "Are you leaving?"

Xun Chen nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Chen was ordered by the general to return to Hebei and supervise the grain management together with Shen Zhengnan. It is not too late and we need to leave today."

Guo Tu hesitated and said: "Youruo has something big to do. Guo shouldn't stop you at this time. It's just that you have an old friend. You have to say goodbye in person. We are all colleagues. There are some things we have to deal with."

You still need to be able to look good...don't be offended if I delay you for a little while."

"This..." Xun Chen hesitated upon hearing this.

But Guo Tu said helplessly: "The general requested it, please don't make things difficult for me."

Xun Chen frowned when he heard this.

But he still followed Guo Tu towards the camp.

The two of them came to a tent together.

White silk has been hung outside the tent, and soul-drawing flags have been prepared. A group of Yuan Jun's advisers and generals are standing outside the tent, looking inside.

"Give way, give way." Guo Tu shouted to the crowd in front, while pulling Xun Chen into the innermost part of the tent.

After entering the tent, Xun Chen was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.

There was a coffin inside the tent, with a gray-looking corpse lying in the middle. Directly in front of the corpse and the coffin, a simple mourning hall had been set up... including a tablet.

It's Tian Feng.

The moment he saw the dead Tian Feng, Xun Chen's hands hidden in his sleeves began to tremble.

But next to his ears, Guo Tu's slow voice sounded: "Alas, Yuan Hao suddenly fell ill last night and could not be treated, so he passed away... This thing happened too suddenly. From now on, Hebei

Lost a pillar, the general lost an arm!"

Having said this, Guo Tu sobbed slightly and stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes.

The muscles on Xun Chen's face were stiff, and he just stared blankly at Tian Feng's stiff and dark face...

This man is lifeless and lifeless at the moment, but yesterday, he told himself personally: "Right is right, and wrong is wrong."

Guo Tu shook his head and said with emotion: "Life is too short. Everything during life is like a passing cloud... After death, everything returns to dust. Although I know that people are destined to die, I still feel that it is better for this person to live.

It’s good to be alive.”

Xun Chen did not answer him.

When Guo Tu saw that Xun Chen didn't answer, he didn't care. The two of them worshiped Tian Feng together, and then Guo Tu took Xun Chen out of the tent.

"The general said that Mr. Tian is the pillar of Hebei Province. Now that he has gone, as colleagues, we, as colleagues, have to come and see him off at any cost. That's why I just stopped you at the camp gate. Youruo, don't be offended."

When Xun Chen heard this, his heart could not help but beat wildly.

He looked at Guo Tu deeply and said, "Did you report it to the general?"

"What?" Guo Tu looked puzzled.

Xun Chen shook his head and said, "Nothing."

After saying that, he turned around and left the spiritual tent.

After walking out of the spiritual tent, Xun Chen stood still, turned his head and looked at the tent, folded his hands in front of his forehead, and bowed towards the spiritual tent for a long time.

"Haha, everyone is dead, why are you still pretending to be here?"

A voice sounded behind Xun Chen, startling him.

Xun Chen turned around and saw Ju Shou.

"Jugong, me?"

"Haha, stop pretending. It has already spread throughout the camp. Yesterday you and Tian Yuanhao had a long private chat, and then you went to the general's camp to spy with the general. Even a fool knows what happened in the middle.

Well, now you are still pretending to come to pay homage, haha, you Yingchuan people, are you all so thick-skinned?"

Xun Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Ju misunderstood me. This matter has nothing to do with me..."

"Don't talk eloquently here! Get out of here, don't dirty Brother Tian's heroic spirit here!" Jushou didn't listen to his explanation at all.

Xun Chen's face showed a painful expression.

He looked deeply at Jushou, nodded to him, and then walked past him.

After walking out of the camp gate, Xun Chen turned his head and stopped to look at Yuan Jun's commander's tent.

This look took a whole stick of incense to look at.

Afterwards, I saw that he was no longer talking, and he drove his horse and people towards the north.

…

At the same time, Liu Qi's handsome tent welcomed a rare visitor.

"General Wei is here, please sit down!" Liu Qi stood up and greeted Lu Bu personally.

Lu Bu strode to Liu Qi's side and sat down, wondering: "General Liu sent people here in a hurry to find me. What's the important matter?"

"It's really a very important matter... General Lao Lu will lead his troops back to Luoyang tomorrow."

"Go back to Luoyang?" Lu Bu asked very puzzledly: "Why do you want me to go back to Luoyang?"

"The Guards Office reported that Yuan Shao secretly sent people from the western front to the direction of Jingzhao, intending to take a detour to attack Luoyang. His actions were extremely secretive, but in the end they were detected by my men."

Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this: "Is the news true?"

"Don't Marquis Wen believe in the investigative capabilities of my Guards Department?"

"That's not true."

Lu Bu waved his hand and said: "Since General Liu has found out the situation and Yuan Shao is going to attack our rear in Luoyang, we can no longer delay this matter. Bu Dang personally led his troops and went south to Luoyang to protect the emperor from Yuan Shao."

hijack."

Liu Qi cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, general. You and I, one behind the other, will do our best. No matter what, we will not let Yuan Shao rob your majesty. Otherwise, if Yuan Shao is allowed to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes, who else in the world can do it?"

Treat him?"

Holding the emperor hostage to order the princes...

Liu Qi's words inadvertently touched a certain chord in Lu Bu's heart.

"By the way, General Liu, we have been at odds with Yuan Shao for so long. Do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Liu Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There is no good way to defeat the enemy. It is estimated that in a few days, I will have a full-scale battle with Yuan Shao."

"Ah? Why is this?"

"To be honest, General, the Guards Office has reported that Yuan Shao has mobilized a large number of baggage trains in Hebei to return to the front line. At the same time, reinforcements from the Southern Huns Royal Court are about to arrive at Sili. Yuan Shao has now completed preparations and will surely gather enough troops within a few days.

Come and fight me with all your strength... Sigh, at this critical moment, I really don't want the general to go back to Luoyang, but the current situation means that I have to let you go back..."

After a pause, Liu Qi said to Lu Bu sincerely: "Marquis Wen, no matter what, please protect Luoyang and your Majesty. Even if I, Liu Qi, am shattered to pieces on the front line, I will not let Yuan Shao cross the border! The rear is just

give it to you."

Lu Bu's heart began to stir unknowingly, and a bold plan began to brew in his mind.

Liu Qi is going to fight Yuan Shao with all his strength?

When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured...or even both will suffer losses.

No matter who wins or loses, if they fight head-on, they will definitely lose their vitality.

Zhang Liao's army has now been transferred to Sishui Pass to face Yuan Tan.

Liu Yu's men and horses are also here, and Chang'an's defense is empty...

Your Majesty is isolated and helpless in Luoyang, and now it is entirely up to me to return and rescue him...

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lu Bu's lips, but it quickly disappeared.

"Don't worry, General Liu. You can defeat Yuan here with peace of mind. Your Majesty will have his own general to protect you and will never let anyone touch Luoyang."
