During Chen Chu's residence in Chaoge, Cao Cao's envoy visited him.

Cao Cao wrote a letter to Chen Chu. Cao Cao said a lot of words in the letter, but Chen Chu looked over and over again and again but couldn't figure out what Cao Cao meant. There was no way, Chen Chu, a modern person, still didn't understand the ancient grammar.

Fortunately, there is Chen Gong next to Chen Chu now, so Chen Chu asked Chen Gong to explain.

It turned out that Cao Cao tactfully asked Chen Chu about his views on the current situation in the letter and vaguely revealed his desire to form an alliance.

To form an alliance with Cao Cao? Chen Chu was a little confused, so he sought Chen Gong's opinions. Chen Gong compared Dong Zhuo to the strong Qin during the Warring States Period, and compared Cao Cao and Chen Chu to Chu and Zhao respectively. He also said: "The current situation is that Dong Zhuo is strong and the lord and Cao Cao are both weak, so only by uniting can we fight each other."

Chen Chu thought for a moment and felt that what Chen Gong said made sense, so he decided to form an alliance with Cao Cao.

On the other hand, Cao Cao was very happy when he learned that Chen Chu agreed to form an alliance. However, another content Chen Chu said in the letter made Cao Cao unable to be happy.

In his reply to Cao Cao, Chen Chu not only expressed his willingness to agree to form an alliance, but also told Cao Cao about something. Cao Cao didn't know about this matter yet.

In fact, this matter had little to do with Cao Cao, but it revealed one of Dong Zhuo's intentions. Chen Chu told Cao Cao in the letter that Dong Zhuo faked the emperor and appointed him as the general of the Northern Expedition, and asked him to go on an expedition today on the grounds that Wuhuan was causing trouble. He could not refuse and just waited for the food and grass and arms in Luoyang to arrive and then set off. Finally, Chen Chu also vaguely warned Cao Cao to be careful.

"This is Dong Zhuo's plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves, and he intends to use Wuwan's hand to weaken Chen Chu's strength. Dong Zhuo finally began to attack the princes outside the pass! Lord, we must be careful and be careful!" The person who spoke was Guo Jia, and he could see Dong Zhuo's tricks at a glance.

Cao Cao frowned and said, "I also know that Dong Zhuo will definitely attack the princes outside the pass. But how should I deal with it?"

Cao Cao's three advisers thought for a moment, but they shook their heads with frowns.

"Lord, Dong Zhuo has not revealed his true face yet. We can only step up our strength and be careful!" Xun Yu bowed to Cao Cao.

"What Wen Ruo said is extremely true. Lord, we can only do this at the moment!" Guo Jia also bowed to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao sighed, "Oh! It seems that he has to do this!" Then he said with a straight face and ordered: "Tell all troops to speed up the training and be careful."

Chen Chu has been leading the army outside for half a year. To be honest, Chen Chu couldn't help but miss his days in Leping, especially Zhang Rui. Whenever he thinks of her, Chen Chu feels a very ambiguous.

I haven't seen her for half a year. I wonder if she misses me?

In fact, in the past six months, there have been letter exchanges between Leping and Chen Chu's army. However, letters are letters after all, and they cannot be compared to getting along with each other, so the longing has not only not weakened, but has become stronger and stronger.

After the battle is over, go back to Leping to take a look. Chen Chu thought so in his heart.

Another month passed. By the end of September, the food and supplies from Luoyang were finally transported.

A few days later, Chen Chu led all 130,000 troops to head north. The long team was like a dragon swimming through the hills.

When they learned that General Zhengbei was going north to quell the rebellion, the people along the way saw him off. The scene was really grand and touching.

More than ten days later, the army arrived at Guangping. Suddenly, one person led a thousand people to pay homage.

Chen Chu asked to bring it up and see, it turned out to be Liu Bei.

"The grass-roots people pay homage to General Zhengbei." Liu Bei said as soon as he came to Chen Chu.

"Xuande, please get up quickly. This informal occasion does not require much politeness."

"Is there something wrong with Xuande here?" Chen Chu asked.

Liu Bei replied respectfully: "Nothing happened. I just heard that the general led his troops north to pass by this place, so he came to pay homage."

Chen Chu said happily: "I appreciate the sincere intentions of Xuande."

Then he asked: "Xuande made great contributions to the Yellow Turban Rebellion. I wonder if the court will receive a reward?"

Liu Bei sighed, "Ah! Although I am the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, my family has fallen and there are no familiar people in the court. Therefore, my achievements are not as good as God's ears, and I am still white today!"

Chen Chu smiled and said, "If Xuande doesn't dislike you, how about I order you to be the captain?" Chen Chu is now the General of the North and belongs to a general. He has the right to accept his orders to be a low-level general under his command.

Liu Bei was overjoyed and thanked him.

Chen Chu smiled and said, "I will give you another 5,000 troops and order you to stay in Guangping. How about it?"

Liu Bei fell to the ground again and said with gratitude: "General, you must repay Bei's kindness with him!"

Chen Chu nodded with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart: If you, Liu Bei, are willing to be your subordinate, the sun will probably hit the west side.

The army stayed in Guangping for a day and then left. Liu Bei led the crowd to send it for thirty miles before returning.

"Brother, why do you want to give that big-eared five thousand soldiers? I think he is not a good thing at all!" Zhang Fei asked angrily on the way.

Chen Chu smiled. Before, when Liu Bei was present, Zhang Fei kept staring in his eyes. Chen Chu knew that his second brother would come to him about this matter sooner or later. Haha, as expected.

Chen Chu did not answer Zhang Fei, but just smiled mysteriously.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei was depressed and had to ask Chen Gong. Chen Gong first glanced at Chen Chu, saw Chen Chu nodding slightly, so he said, "This Liu Bei is a hero. You can help each other with Cao Cao in the south to monitor and restrain Dong Zhuo. What's more, how can the soldiers who the lord get through the cultivation of his heart be loyal to others? If Liu Bei dares to be unfavorable to his lord, he will probably perish himself!" Then Chen Gong bowed to Chen Chu and said, "The lord's move is really brilliant! Chen Gong admires it!"

Chen Gong said it very clearly. Zhang Fei and the other three showed a sudden expression. The four of them looked at Chen Chu with extremely admiration. Zhang Fei also whispered and said something I don’t know.

At this time, Chen Chu was smiling, looking a little unfathomable. In fact, he said in his heart: So there are so many benefits! I don’t know! I was just worried that Liu Bei would grow stronger and wanted to lay a foreshadowing with this!

Although Chen Chu thought so in his heart, he certainly wouldn't say it out.

Speaking of Huangfu Song before, Zhu Jun pursued Zhang Bao's defeated army and went to Mangdang Mountain.

After a series of fighting, Zhang Bao was killed and most of his followers surrendered. However, although Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun won a great victory, Luoyang was suddenly subjected to drastic changes, which made them not know where to go. At this moment, the imperial edict arrived and the two hurriedly knelt down.

The lieutenant general praised the two of them very much, named them the generals of chariots and cavalry, and ordered them to go back to the court immediately.

After the Qin envoy left, Zhu Jun said to Huangfu Song: "This must be Dong Zhuo's idea. What should we do? If we go back, Dong Zhuo may kill you and me to take over the army under his command."

Huangfu Song shook his head and said, "Otherwise, Dong Zhuo led his army into the capital just to kill the eunuch party, and did not kill anyone. Besides, you and I have great contributions to the court and have no grudges against him, so how could he be harmful? Besides, there is only Dong Zhuo's army in Luoyang at present, and if it is too long, it is afraid that changes will occur. You and I should lead the army back to the emperor immediately."

What Huangfu Song said was very reasonable, and Zhu Jun was convinced by Huangfu Song.

Just as the two were about to set off, Cao Cao's envoy Xun You suddenly came to visit. When Xun You learned that the two were about to return to the court, he hurriedly spoke to dissuade him. However, the two had decided and had not listened to Xun You's words and insisted on going on the road.

Seeing that the two were unable to be saved, Xun You hurriedly replied to Cao Cao and asked Cao Cao to make a decision.

After learning the news, Cao Cao sighed: "These two people have a far higher position than me, how can they listen to my words!"

The two led the victorious army back to Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo went out of the city to welcome the emperor for thirty miles. The weight of courtesy made them cry.

The army was left outside the city, and the two of them brought only a few followers to the city with Dong Zhuo. As soon as they entered the city, they wanted to go to the palace to worship the emperor, but Dong Zhuo refused on the grounds that the emperor was slightly ill. He also invited the two to go to the Grand Tutor's Mansion for a banquet. The two of them could not refuse and had to go with Dong Zhuo.

After three rounds of wine on the table, Dong Zhuo suddenly threw the cup to the ground. Dozens of knife and axe players suddenly appeared, surrounding the two of them and chopped them up. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were unprepared and were cut into meat mud on the spot.

Then Dong Zhuo immediately sent his confidant general Guo Si to lead his army out of the city with the imperial edict and collect all the two of them.

Jia Xu was not aware of the matter of Dong Zhuo's killing of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. When Jia Xu heard the news, his expression suddenly changed. He hurried to the Grand Master's Mansion.

"Tai Shi, have you killed Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun?" Jia Xu asked anxiously.

Dong Zhuo was obviously in a good mood at this time. He hugged Yi Erba Jiao Niang in his left head, held the wine urn in his right hand and smiled: "I have killed these two people just now and all of them will be collected. I now have 300,000 elite soldiers in my hand. Who in the world can resist it! Hahahaha!"

Jia Xu said anxiously: "The Grand Master's move is a way to cause disaster. If you kill these two people at this time, everything that the Grand Master did before will be wasted! Inside, the emperor will doubt the Grand Master! Outside, the princes outside the pass will be frightened and formed a connection to resist the Grand Master!"

Dong Zhuo frowned, feeling a little unhappy.

At this time, Jia Xu said again: "When the Grand Master did this, he asked Zhongjian?"

“Not asked.”

Jia Xu sighed with pain: "Why did the Grand Master differ before the time?!"

Perhaps Jia Xu was in a hurry and his tone was a little bad, Dong Zhuo finally changed his face. He pushed the girl beside him away, pointed at Jia Xu and shouted: "What decision should I make? Have you ever asked you to wait?"

Jia Xu was stunned, and a feeling of discouragement suddenly arose in his heart. Jia Xu shook his head and sighed, then bowed to Dong Zhuo, and then retreated silently.

Seeing Xiao Se leaving Jia Xu, Dong Zhuo suddenly felt a little regretful and wanted to stop Jia Xu from apologizing. But he also thought that as the Grand Master, he really couldn't let go of his face and said something to apologize.
