The cavalry team was getting closer and closer, and people cheered more and more intensely.

The army stopped a few dozen steps before the case was reached, and then separated to both sides. A group of generals wearing strong and sharp legs surrounded a young general wearing black armor and red cloak with a red cloak on his shoulders and slowly walked out.

Diao Chan and Zhang Rui couldn't help but lit up their beautiful eyes, showing an unstoppable excitement. After being separated for so long, their sweetheart finally came back.

Chen Chu jumped off the war horse first, and the generals immediately dismounted.

Chen Chu quickly arrived at the desk, and his gentle eyes and the eyes of the two goddesses intertwined for a moment. At this time, the audience calmed down as if they had a tacit understanding.

"I'm back." Chen Chu said softly with a smile.

Zhang Rui and Diao Chan suppressed their excitement. Zhang Rui poured a piece of wine, held it in both hands, and presented it to Chen Chu.

"Brother, Rui'er is willing to wish the army a triumphant return on behalf of the military and civilians of Bingzhou!" Zhang Rui's beautiful voice rippled away, and the people immediately cheered in higher voices.

Chen Chu took the wine, but did not drink it all as everyone expected. He turned around and raised the wine bottle high.

Seeing this, the soldiers knelt down together.

Chen Chu half-squatted down, sprinkled the wine on the loess, and then sang in a solemn voice: "This victory was exchanged for the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers! I will toast them this glass of wine!"

Those warriors who would not frown when facing the sea of ​​swords and fires couldn't help but turn red, and Chen Chu's image in their hearts couldn't help but become taller.

The people were also very excited, and an unspeakable emotion arose in their hearts.

Sun Ren, who stood behind Zhang Rui, had a very complicated expression. She felt that her proud father and elder brother seemed not as good as the bad guy in front of her whom she hated.

Da Qiao looked at Chen Chu not far away. At this moment, she finally saw clearly the man that made her dream. Her eyes were fascinated and made people sigh.

Seeing this, Qiao gently pushed her sister. Da Qiao came back to her senses. Seeing Xiao Qiao looking at him in a narrow mind, her cheeks flushed.

"Stop messing around, what the general said?" Qiao Xuan, who was beside him, shouted softly in displeasure.

Joe stuck out his tongue and calmed down.

After Chen Chuji finished drinking, he sang again: "Please enter the city with the bones of the martyrs!"

Two soldiers from the city defense battalion quickly carried the case down. Almost at the same time, Zhang Rui and Diao Chan and a group of greeting officials stood on both sides of the official road.

The army of hundreds of thousands of people started to stir up. After a while, from a distance, I saw that the army stood on both sides and gave up the avenue in the middle.

Then, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and the sound became louder and louder, and a team of cavalry looked solemn from far to near. Each of these cavalry carried a red cloth bag on their backs.

Seeing this scene, the audience was silent, and everyone's expression showed respect.

When the cavalry approached, Chen Chu knelt down on one knee first, and then the soldiers and all the people of the army knelt down. Suddenly, the cavalry with the ashes of the dead martyrs on their backs was highlighted.

The cavalry lined up in an orderly line through the crowd, entered the city gate in a hurry, and then guided to the military camp in the city by the waiting officials. The ashes of these martyrs will be temporarily stored in the military camp, and then selected an appropriate time to be placed in the Zhonghun Pavilion outside the city.

Chen Chu's actions certainly mean to win people's hearts, but he really respects these warriors who died on the battlefield from the bottom of his heart.

After the cavalry team entered the city, everyone stood up one after another and the atmosphere became warm. At this time, Zhou Yu and Lu Su led a group of ministers to pay homage to Chen Chu, and Zhang Rui and Diao Chan stood close to Chen Chu.

Chen Chu held Zhou Yu and Lu Su's arm, smiled with emotion: "If there were no Gongjin and Zijing raised food and grass in the rear, it would be difficult to win this battle!"

"The lord is too much!" the two of them said with a humble fist.

Chen Chu patted the two of them on their fists and said, "Let's go, let's talk about it when you go home! You will definitely not be drunk today!"

Chen Chu should enter the city first, and everyone followed closely behind.

Thousands of iron guards followed Chen Chu into the city, while the remaining troops were stationed outside the city, and more than 100,000 prisoners were also placed outside the city.

That night, there was a banquet in the governor's mansion, and Chen Chu and everyone welcomed them until late at night...

A maid's call came from outside the door: "Lord, Zhou Yu and Lu Su, two gentlemen, asked for a meeting."

Chen Chu's movements stopped immediately. After a moment of stunned silence, he showed an extremely painful look. He couldn't help but murmur: "These two guys really know how to find time!"

Chen Chu couldn't help but feel a little troubled. He couldn't just go out like this, right?

At no time, Chen Chu had to jump up like a lunatic in the room.

Seeing this, the two women couldn't help but laugh.

Zhang Rui, who was hiding under the quilt, said gloatingly: "Do you still dare to bully others!"

Chen Chu, who was jumping, glared at his eyes and threatened: "Do you believe it or not, be a foolish monarch?"

Zhang Rui was so scared that she shrank her head and muttered pitifully.

Seeing Zhang Rui's appearance, Diao Chan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled.

Seeing that Chen Chu hadn't come out for a long time, the maid outside the door couldn't help calling again.

Chen Chu was so upset that he shouted angrily: "What are you urging me to? Don't talk anymore!"

The maid quickly agreed with fear.

Chen Chu jumped in the room for a long time, and the tent in his crotch was finally less obvious.

Diao Chan nodded obediently.

After coming out of the bedroom and then covering the door. At this time, Chen Chu saw the maid standing by the door with his head down. The maid turned out to be Zhen Mi's mother Zhen. Chen Chu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was giving her to Rui'er as a maid. It was not surprising that she was here.

He quickly shook his head and cleared these erotic scenes out of his mind.

"Are the two gentlemen in the inner hall?" Chen Chu asked softly.

Zhen replied respectfully: "Report to the lord, the two gentlemen are waiting in the inner hall."

.

Chen Chu cursed himself inwardly, then accelerated his pace toward the inner hall. On the way, Chen Chu couldn't help but wonder, how could he suddenly become so lustful?

While thinking, Chen Chu came to the inner hall. The iron guard at the door knelt down on one knee and saluted Chen Chu.

Abandoning the messy thoughts in his mind, Chen Chu walked into the inner hall.

At this time, Zhou Yu and Lu Su were sitting upright waiting.

"Forgive me, you two gentlemen, I'm late." Chen Chu said with apologetic expression on his face.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su quickly stood up and saluted Chen Chu and said, "Lord."

Chen Chu sat down in the main seat, and Zhou Yu and Lu Su sat down separately.

Zhou Yu smiled and clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said, "I both disturbed my lord's good dream. Please forgive me?"

Chen Chu laughed, "Gongjin's words are wrong. Everything must be put first!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu and Lu Su couldn't help but nodded in admiration.

"Gongjin, Zijing, what's the point?" Chen Chu asked with a straight face.

Lu Su immediately replied: "Actually, there is nothing important. It is necessary to report the major events that have happened in the world during this period to the lord."

Chen Chu nodded and signaled Lu Su to continue speaking.

Lu Su then detailed, "Liu Biao and Sun Jian in the south have ceased to fight. Sun Jian occupied Jiangxia and their strength has expanded a lot, but Liu Biao is not willing to do so. He is preparing for war. The war between the two families is believed to be reopened soon; Yuan Shao is still attacking Runan. Judging from the current situation, Liu Pi and Gong cannot support it for long; Han Sui's strength has increased greatly due to the joining of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou."

At this point, Lu Su couldn't help laughing, and Chen Chu and Zhou Yu also smiled tacitly.

Lu Su continued: "Han Sui's strength is now above Ma Teng's strength. Han Sui no longer listens to Ma Teng's greetings. Ma Teng is very worried about this."

Lu Su paused and looked at Chen Chu. Chen Chu showed a thoughtful look, and then asked after a moment: "Look, is there any possibility for the two families to fight?"

Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu the same time, and then replied: "It's hard to say, but if there is external force to incite, I believe they will fight!"

Chen Chu then asked: "At present, what is the benefit of us if the two families fight each other?"

Lu Su pondered for a moment and replied: "There is no benefit for us to fight between the two families at this time. The first is the question of our army's attitude, which one family will help...

It is not suitable, it is even more inappropriate to ignore it; there are many problems such as refugees, and we are not prepared!"

Chen Chu frowned slightly, nodded gently, then looked up at Zhou Yu and asked, "What does Gongjin mean?"

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and replied: "I have exchanged opinions with Zijing on this matter before. My opinion is the same as Zijing. At present, our army has only experienced a great battle. Although it has won a great victory, the loss in all aspects is huge. Therefore, the most important thing for our army at present is to repair and accumulate energy. We must not be blindly impatient!"

After a pause, Zhou Yu continued: "If Ma Teng and Han Sui go to war, it will be of no benefit to us. We should try our best to mediate the relationship between the two."

Chen Chu nodded slowly, then looked up and smiled: "What you said is so true! I almost made a wrong decision!"

The two of them quickly sat upright and clasped their fists at Chen Chu and said, "You lord can be good at accepting advice without being likes and dislikes, and you are really the master of heroism!" This was a bit complimentary, but their expressions were very serious.

Chen Chu smiled faintly, and then said to Lu Su: "Zijing will continue talking."

"Yes." Lu Su responded respectfully and then continued the previous topic, "..., the other princes did not make any major moves, but one person was an exception. This person was Cao Cao. Since Xuzhou withdrawn, Cao Cao began to imitate our army to open up wasteland and farm, and issued a series of policies that benefit the people. Many of these policies were copied by our army in Bingzhou...."

Hearing this, Chen Chu couldn't help but frown, Cao Mengde, you are really a not-so-simple person!

After losing his spirit for a moment, Chen Chu came back to his senses and continued to listen to Lu Su's narrative.

"..., because Cao Cao's policies were very popular with the people, Cao Cao's rule in Yanzhou became more stable, and many people enthusiastically joined Cao Cao's army. Before the lord sent troops, Cao's army had recovered to 300,000 people."

Chen Chu suddenly interrupted Lu Su, "Cao's army's previous money and food mainly relied on Yuan Shao and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans on Mount Tai. Now these conditions are gone. How did he support the 300,000 army with such a little territory?"

Lu Su replied: "There are several merchants who fully support Cao Cao." Then he showed doubts, "I don't know what benefits Cao Cao has promised, so that these big merchants can work so hard!"

Chen Chu frowned slightly, and after a moment, he said lightly: "Cao Cao is a hero, so it's not surprising that he can do this!" Then he changed his subject, "By the way, who are the merchants who support Cao Cao?"

"There are the Fan family in Yanzhou and the Yuan family in Shanyang. These two are big merchants who have been doing business for generations, and there is also," Lu Su paused, looked at Chen Chu, and a hint of melancholy flashed in his expression.

Chen Chu couldn't help but feel a little surprised. At this time, Lu Su continued: "There is also Chen Liu's Wei family."
To be continued...
