Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Sima Yi replied: "If we go directly to Mao Sui to recommend ourselves, I believe that we will get a half-official position, but it will be difficult to be reused! Why don't we travel around Guanzhong first, and then go to the general with a practical strategy, I believe that the general will be able to impress us!" Sima Yi's idea was good, but what he didn't know was that as long as he said his name to Chen Chu, it would be difficult not to be reused.

Sima Fang's eyes couldn't help but light up, and after a little thought, he said loudly: "Okay! Just do what Zhong Da said!"

Two days later, Cai Yong and the others left Huguan and went to Chang'an under the escort of the cavalry led by Zhang Jaw.

However, Sima Fang and his two eldest sons did not go to Chang'an with Cai Yong, and they left the team after explaining their intentions to Cai Yong. Although Sima Fang and his two eldest sons broke up with Cai Yong, Sima Fang's wife and concubine and six young sons continued to follow Cai Yong and were temporarily taken care of by Cai Yong.

After Chen Chu recovered from his injury, in addition to dealing with official duties, he often went to the suburbs of Bingzhou with Zhang Rui Diao Chan to play and hunt.

On this day, Chen Chu, who had finished handling official business, went out with Zhang Rui Diao Chan again. Of course, Chen Chu would not leave the Assassin's Mansion alone, and the Iron Wall Guard General Dian Wei led a thousand iron guards to surround Chen Chu and the three of them.

The three of them galloped to the west of the city under the protection of the iron guards. There is a deer mountain in the west of the city, named after the frequent appearance of wild deer, and there is a river that meanders through the side of the deer mountain, which is not only infested with various small animals, but also has beautiful scenery.

Chen Chu rode a black horse, without armor, only wearing a black civilian clothes, with a bow and a knife hanging on the side of the saddle, looking very casual.

On Chen Chu's left and right are the energetic Zhang Rui and the charming Diao Chan.

Zhang Rui was dressed in a delicate female armor, holding a carved eyebrow arch, her pretty face was flushed, she looked very excited, every time she went out hunting with Chen Chu, she was so excited.

Diao Chan on the side rode a pale red horse, also dressed in a female armor, and the whole person exuded a different kind of seductive temperament, which was a combination of charm and wildness.

Coming to a beautiful meadow by the river, Zhang Rui jumped off the horse with a shout. So they stopped.

Chen Chu looked at the happy Zhang Rui, couldn't help but smile slightly, and then instructed Dian Wei: "Send some people to hunt some prey and come back." Dian

Wei agreed, and then sent two hundred men divided into ten teams to hunt in the mountains.

Chen Chu jumped down from the war horse, then came to the Diao Chan horse, and smiled as Diao Chan stretched out his right hand.

Diao Chan smiled charmingly, stretched out her slender hand with a slightly red face for Chen Chu to grasp, and then jumped down from the horse.

Although Diao Chan dismounted, Chen Chu was still reluctant to let go of the soft and warm slender hand in his hand. Chen Chu looked at Diao Chan, his eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness. Diao Chan felt both shy and happy, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and he threw a moving gaze at Chen Chu as if he were nothing.

Just when the two of them were eyebrows, Zhang Rui's lively voice suddenly came, "Big brother, sister Cicada, there are so beautiful flowers here!" Chen

Chu and Diao Chan couldn't help but smile at each other, and then walked towards Zhang Rui.

When she came to Zhang Rui's side, Zhang Rui was squatting on the grass, picking a distinctive purple flower.

Zhang Rui saw Chen Chu and Diao Chan coming, so he raised the purple bouquet in his hand and shouted, "Do you see

this flower beautiful?" Chen Chu smiled and nodded, Diao Chan had already left Chen Chu and grabbed Zhang Rui's arm and exclaimed: "Sister, this flower is so beautiful!"

Then the two girls shuttled in the beautiful colors like butterflies wearing flowers.

Chen Chu stood aside, looking at the happy smiles of the two women, listening to their cheerful laughter, and showing a satisfied smile.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped over from the direction of Bingzhou. The rapid sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and Chen Chu couldn't help but look for prestige.

The knight was dressed as a messenger for the Northern Army. After a while, he came to Chen Chu, then turned over and dismounted and knelt down to Chen Chu and said: "Lord Qi, Mr. Jia Xu came to write that Cai Yong has left Luoyang to Chang'an, and Mr. Jia Xu has arranged to greet him, and at the same time sent a letter to ask the lord for his intentions."

Chen Chu was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Cai Yong to leave Luoyang, and then suddenly, Emperor Han Xian is now in Chang'an, how could Cai Yong, who was loyal to the Han family, not run to Chang'an in a hurry? Now Chen Chu still doesn't know what happened to Cai Yong in Luoyang.

Chen Chu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Jia Xu has done a good job! You go back immediately to pass on my words, and ask Mr. Lu Su to immediately send a letter to tell Mr. Jia Xu that he is solely responsible for this matter, and there is no need to ask for any more instructions!"

The summoning cavalry agreed, but did not leave immediately, and continued to report: "My lord, there is one more matter. Just now I received an urgent report from the Shadow that Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan was killed while he was on his mission to Runan!

" Chen Chu was shocked when he heard this, and asked urgently, "What's going on?" "It's

not clear, the Shadow Messenger only briefly said this!"

Chen Chu felt that the matter was serious, so he stepped on his war horse and prepared to return. At this time, Zhang Rui and Diao Chan were playing happily in the green grass and flowers, and Chen Chu instructed Dian Wei on the side: "Evil comes to stay to protect Rui'er and Cicada, I have something important, I must go back first

!" "Yes, lord!" Dian Wei promised.

Then Chen Chu returned on horseback, and hundreds of iron guards followed Chen Chu.

At this time, the two girls who were having a lot of fun didn't know that Chen Chu had left.

A moment later, Zhang Rui stood up with colorful flowers to look for her eldest brother, only to find that Chen Chu had disappeared.

Zhang Rui, who was surprised, asked Dian Wei, who was standing with his arms crossed. Dian Wei hummed and said, "The lord has gone back!" Zhang

Rui pouted and complained quietly, and at this time, Diao Chan came over. "Sister, what about the eldest brother?" Diao Chan, who didn't find Chen Chu, couldn't help but ask.

"Big brother has gone back!" Zhang Rui replied with some frustration.

Diao Chan showed a sudden expression, and then said: "Big brother must be in a hurry!Sister, let's go back too?"

Zhang Rui nodded and said, "Well, it's not interesting for the two of us to play at all!"

Da Manniu, this is Zhang Rui's unique name for Dian Wei. Dian Wei was not angry at all about this, because in his opinion, Zhang Rui was praising him!

Dian Wei immediately ordered a herald next to him to follow this order. The herald blew the horn, and a moment later the scattered guards gathered.

Chen Chu went straight back to the Thorn History Mansion, at this time, Lu Su and Xu Shu were already waiting, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were not there, they had already gone to Huguan and Yunzhong respectively.

"Are the two gentlemen here for the murder of Yuan Tan?" asked Chen Chu and sat down on the main seat.

"That's true. The two clasped their fists and replied, and then Lu Su continued: "Runan has always been entrenched by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, Liu Bi and Gongdu, and Yuan Shao sent his eldest son Yuan Tan to envoy Runan, obviously wanting to absorb Liu Pi and Gongdu's forces, and at the same time take Runan into his pocket, just like Hanoi.

Chen Chu nodded, and at this time, Xu Shu continued: "According to the feedback from the shadows, they have basically negotiated, but Yuan Tan was suddenly killed, and everything before was nullified, and Yuan Shao will definitely raise troops to ask for the guilt

!" Chen Chu touched his chin and thought: "Although Liu Pigong is a remnant of the Yellow Turban, he sits on the fertile land of Runan, and has been recruiting troops and preparing for war all these years, and his strength should not be underestimated!" It is not a simple matter for Yuan Shao to solve them, and if he doesn't make trouble, he may capsize in the gutter!" Lu

Su Xu Shu nodded sympathetically.

At this time, Chen Chu asked, "What was the specific situation at that time?Did the Shadow find out who attacked and killed Yuan Tan?"

Both of them shook their heads, and then Lu Su said: "The Shadow's team is on its way back, and it will return to Bingzhou in about seven days, and at that time, the lord can ask about the specific situation."

Chen Chu nodded, and then asked, "By the way, how did the Shadow come across this matter?" The reason why Chen Chu asked this was because the Shadow was not an intelligence spy organization at all, but a force to carry out special tasks, they were originally lurking in Luoyang, and this time they went south to Jingzhou to carry out the mission on Chen Chu's orders.

Lu Su replied, "That's a coincidence! The Shadow General was ordered to go south, and he encountered this while passing through the ancient city!" Chen

Chu asked again, "What is

the Shadow General doing now?" "The Shadow General sent a team to return to the state with a few survivors, and he led the main force of the shadow to continue south, according to the time, the shadow should have entered the state by now.

Chen Chu nodded, and said to himself: "Sun Jian will marry his daughter into Liu Biao's family in ten days, and I hope this operation will be successful!"

Soon after Yuan Tan had an accident in the ancient city, Yuan Shao, who was in Luoyang, received the bad news.

Yuan Shao was furious and immediately ordered Wen Chou to lead 200,000 horses and infantry troops south to conquer Runan.

The day after Yuan Shao received the news, a small group of sergeants in ordinary Northern Army uniforms escorted a carriage to Bingzhou.

At the city gate, the officers of this team of troops in the northern expedition showed an iron token to the colonel guarding the gate, and when the colonel saw it, he hurriedly saluted the other party, and then sent a person to the assassin's mansion to report. This iron token is a little special compared with other iron tokens, the specifications of this iron token are very high, directly representing Chen Chu, not only that, this token is not like the token in the hands of others, there is the name and official position of the holder, only in the center of the head engraved with a capital five characters, the northern army knows the meaning of this token no more than ten people.

Just as Chen Chu was playing with Zhang Rui Diao Chan in the backyard, the iron guard came to report that a sergeant with the No. 5 iron order had entered the city.

Chen Chu immediately went to meet him.

The two girls were originally laughing, but as soon as Chen Chu left, the atmosphere suddenly became dull.

In the inner hall of the Assassin's Mansion, Chen Chu met the officer holding the No. 5 Iron Order.

"Meet my lord!" the officer immediately bowed.

"No need to be polite!" Chen Chu said, and then sat down on the main seat.
