The three iron guards looked at each other, and one of them replied: "Lord, we are discussing the songs that the lord sang just now."

Chen Chu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that they would hear the pop songs he hummed casually. Chen Chu smiled and said, "How is it? The songs I sing are good, right?" The reason why Chen Chu asked this was entirely out of curiosity. He didn't know whether pop songs a thousand and eight hundred years later could be accepted by people in this era.

To Chen Chu's expectations, the three iron guards actually nodded vigorously, "Good! The lord sang so nicely!" Chen Chu originally suspected that they were shooting his horse against his will because he was the lord, but their slightly excited expression was clearly not fake.

It seems that songs from later generations can still be accepted by people of this era. Thinking of this, Chen Chu suddenly had an inspiration in his mind: Since people from this era responded well to songs from later generations, can they introduce some very manly songs into the army?! Singing these songs regularly should be very helpful in boosting morale.

Thinking of this, Chen Chu suddenly became excited. He couldn't wait to see his army sing those songs.

Chen Chu was about to give orders to these iron guards, but saw that the three iron guards seemed to show a look of wanting to speak but stopping. Chen Chu couldn't help but feel strange, so he asked, "Is there anything else you guys?"

The three iron guards did not answer immediately. The two behind looked at each other and suddenly pushed out the iron guard in front with a tacit understanding.

Chen Chu looked at the bitter-looking iron guard in front of him and said with some amusement: "What the hell are you doing? If you have something to say, it doesn't matter?"

After hesitating for a long time, the iron guard who was betrayed by his companion asked curiously: "Lord, do you have a lover?"

Chen Chu was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed, thinking in his heart: I didn’t expect that people in this era are also quite gossipy!

"Sweetheart. Haha, how could you have such a problem?"

"We have heard the songs that the lord sang just now. Isn't the lord missing his lover?"

My sweetheart!? Chen Chu suddenly remembered the slim figure in later generations. Alas! I’m afraid I will never see her again!

Thinking of this, Chen Chu couldn't help but feel that something was blocking his chest. Chen Chu closed his eyes, but the figure became clearer and more clearly, and his chest seemed to be getting more and more blocked. Unexpectedly, the feeling of missing him was so sad!

Chen Chu let out a long breath, forcing himself not to think about it anymore, and then his expression gradually returned to normal.

He looked up and saw the three iron guards with wide eyes in front of him. Their expressions were a little strange, but Chen Chu didn't think much about it.

"Lord, do you really like her? But..." said an iron guard with a strange expression, but he said something strange. Judging from his words, it seemed as if he knew who Chen Chu liked.

Chen Chu, who was in a chaotic mood, did not notice this. He didn't want to talk about this anymore. He frowned slightly and said unhappily: "You are soldiers, don't focus on these things!"

Although Chen Chu is usually kind, the aura he exudes on chance can scare anyone. With his iron-blooded career over the years, Chen Chu, who has been baptized by war, has completely shed his frivolity when he was a salesperson, and his temperament has completely changed. It can be said that if Chen Chu is put together at this time and Chen Chu, you will only think that they are exactly the same brothers, and will not think that they are the same person, because the temperament they show is too far apart.

Seeing Chen Chu's face change, the three iron guards were shocked and quickly knelt down, "Don't be angry, it's because my subordinates are arrogant!"

Chen Chu sighed, "Get up, don't talk about this again in the future."

"Yes." The three of them responded tremblingly.

"You go and call me gentlemen." The gentleman Chen Chu refers to those who educate the army in ideological education. In fact, a considerable number of these people are not scholars at all, they are just literate. Chen Chu wanted to call them because he had a major and interesting thing to hand over to them.

"Yes." The three of them agreed and then retreated.

Chen Chu finally returned to Luoyang, which touched everyone's hearts.

For various purposes, many people came to visit Chen Chu. For several consecutive days, outside the General's Mansion was even more lively than the market. However, not everyone met Chen Chu. Since he had made up his mind to give up Luoyang for the time being, there was no need to worry about those who had ulterior motives. Chen Chu met with elders among the civilians and some aristocratic families and merchants who were close friends with him, such as the Chen Liuwei family. This Wei family was the Wei family that helped Chen Chu a lot when Chen Chu started, and was completely different from the Wei family in Hedong.

Chen Chu's actions made him more and more famous among the common people, but his reputation among the Shilin was getting worse and worse. Some even compared him with Dong Zhuo.

"Has Yuan Shao made up his mind yet? His general Chunyu Qiong was beaten. Can he swallow this?" Cao Cao frowned slightly and said to Xun You.

Xun You shook his head and said helplessly: "Chen Chu has sent someone to give Chunyu Qiong a generous gift and apologize. Yuan Shao no longer takes this matter seriously. However, Yuan Shao is obviously interested in our proposal, and he seems to be dissatisfied with the current strength of the Northern Army. However, when it comes to key issues, Yuan Shao is concerned about it."

Cao Cao punched the table and said a little annoyedly: "This Yuan Benchu!"

Guo Jia, who was standing aside, smiled, "Lord, you don't know Yuan Shao's character. He has always been good at making plans but not making decisions. Besides, Chen Chu is powerful now, so it's even harder for Yuan Shao to make up his mind! But don't worry, since he has this idea, he will be sure to provoke Yuan Shao and Chen Chu's opposition at the meeting of the princes."

Cao Cao's expression relaxed when he heard this, and he smiled with relief and sighed: "I have filial piety and I will be worry-free!"

"Fengxiao, what do you think of that Liu Bei?"

Guo Jia thought for a while, then smiled and said, "This Liu Bei is very interesting! We didn't even consider him this time. I didn't expect him to come to us on his own initiative! Those generous words were just to test our attitude towards Chen Chu!"

"What was Liu Bei's idea? In theory, he should be considered Chen Chu's subordinate, so why does it seem like he is not the same as Chen Chu? Could it be that Chen Chu sent us to test us?" Xun You said in confusion.

Guo Jia immediately shook his head, "This is unlikely. If Chen Chu wanted to test us, he would not send Liu Bei, but would send someone who had little to do with him. I have carefully studied Liu Bei. It is not correct to say that he is Chen Chu's subordinate. He can only be considered an official position under Chen Chu's command. Liu Bei is a man with a deep scheming and has great ambitions. He will definitely not be willing to surrender to Chen Chu, so Liu Bei is very likely to have the idea of ​​attacking Chen Chu."

"Then what should we do? Should we invite Liu Bei in too?" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia shook his head, "Although Liu Bei is likely to want to deal with Chen Chu, this is just a guess. If there is a case, our situation will be passive. Moreover, Liu Bei's strength is very limited, and it is not worth our risk for such a little strength!"

Cao Cao nodded deeply, "What Fengxiao said is extremely true! Then let's act according to the original plan."

Just as Cao Cao and others were busy planning their plans, a very bad news suddenly came. It turned out that the 150,000 Northern Expedition Army stationed in Hulao Pass (of which 100,000 were changed by Dong Zhuo's surrendered army) had left Hulao Pass under the leadership of General Guan Yu and the entire army came to Luoyang.

Upon receiving this news, all the princes were shocked. What exactly did Chen Chu do? Why did he mobilize all his troops to Luoyang?!

The princes hurriedly issued an order to the troops stationed in Sishui Pass and outside the pass to Luoyang as soon as they received the news.

For a time, hundreds of thousands of troops were thundering on the land of Luoyang, and they had the same goal - Luoyang.

When the people watched the crowds passing by their homes as if there was no end, they suddenly felt a bad premonition that the war was about to begin again!

When the news that Chen Chu's 150,000 troops were coming to Luoyang spread in Luoyang City, the scholars and tyrants who had attacked Chen Chu were silent. Then many people's attitude suddenly changed by 180 degrees, and they turned from anti-Chen Chu faction to firmly support Chen Chu. Many people began to show their kindness to Chen Chu through various channels. At this moment, they suddenly realized how small their power was. There was no room for resistance in front of Chen Chu's powerful power, even if there was some support from them.

However, when the news that other vassals were also rushing to Luoyang came, the attitudes of those people changed again, and they changed from supporting the Chen Chu faction to the anti-Chen Chu faction. These scholars and nobles in Luoyang staged a realistic drama for the world, what is a two-faced and three-killing drama.

As all the armies were gathering in Luoyang, the atmosphere in Luoyang City seemed very serious, and everyone was in a serious mood, because war would bring disaster to their peaceful life.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others had already left the city as soon as they received the news that the Northern Expedition Army was heading to Luoyang. Although it was unlikely that Chen Chu would take action at the moment, they still felt that they would stay in their own barracks and have some insurance.

Of course, not everyone was against Chen Chu with Cao Cao and others, such as Xiliang prefect Ma Teng, and Beiping prefect Gongsun Zan, who stood firmly on Chen Chu's side. Ma Teng was generous and admired Chen Chu's heroic spirit, so he supported Chen Chu; while Gongsun Zan was because Chen Chu was kind to him (During the Battle of Pingwuwan, Chen Chu saved Gongsun Zan and handed Liucheng to Gongsun Zan), so he also supported Chen Chu.

The dark clouds of the war enveloped Luoyang, and everyone was very nervous. But Chen Chu, one of the protagonists, and his Northern Expedition Army did not take this seriously at all. Chen Chu was not worried about the current situation because he had a certain plan; while the soldiers of Northern Expedition Army were excited, they were eager to fight because "only war can reflect the value of soldiers' existence", which Chen Chu told them.

These days, everyone under Chen Chu has been busy, but as the lord Chen Chu seems to be a little idle. Every day, except strolling around, he only listens to everyone's reports at night. Everyone does things well, and Chen Chu doesn't have to worry too much.

One day, Chen Chuzhen was bored in the back garden and stared blankly at the birds on the trees. In this era, unlike later generations, there were various dazzling ways of entertainment, and Chen Chu really didn't know what to do when he was idle. After all, apart from playing chess, the entertainment of this era may be the only way to go to the brothel and red hall to do that kind of primitive sports.

Chen Chu was a little moved, but in order to maintain a good image in front of his subordinates, he could not put this thought into action.

Chen Chu couldn't help but feel a little depressed. At this moment, a iron guard suddenly came to report that Lord Cai Yong was asking for a meeting.
