Han Xiang

Chapter 38
In mid-October, people sent by Tang Yu pretended to be in Xiapi to deliver the letter.

Han Yin read Qiao Rui's letter, asked about Long Xiang's recent injury, and immediately agreed.

It was night, Han Yin invited Chen Gong to the post house for a drink, and explained the repatriation of the guards.

"Mr. Han wants to send the guards away, so are you going to leave too?" Chen Gong thought deeply, he was worried that Yuan Shu would hate to use the army, so he deliberately withdrew Han Yin.

"No." Han Yin drank the wine in his glass, shook his head and sighed, "The ceremonies of accepting, asking, accepting, and enlisting are not finished yet, and Han wants to stay in Xiapi to cooperate, so I am worried that the marriage will change."

Chen Gong rolled his eyes and said comfortingly: "The lord has already explained that it is God's will to shoot a halberd at the Yuanmen, as the so-called God's will cannot be violated, Mr. Han, please don't be suspicious. of"

"Wen Hou helped Liu Bei out of the siege, my lord is definitely not happy." Han Yin tapped on the table lightly.

"Whether the two families are harmonious or not depends on the mediation of the husband. Please drink this glass to the full." Chen Gong raised the glass and drank it. The ten guards are going out of the city, they have been in Xiapi for two months, do they miss their family members? Sir, you are really sympathetic.”

Han Yin shook his head and denied: "They are not a certain part of Han, they were allocated by Long Xiang for my guard."

"Long Xiang? The Sima who was in charge of the grain back then?"

"Of course, I have seen it on the public platform."

Chen Gong was puzzled, so he asked like a cannonball: "Since it was assigned to the sir as a guard, why do you have to send it back to Huainan first? Could it be that something happened in Shouchun?"

Han Yin smiled wryly, and explained: "Long Xiang was demoted to Qu Hou by the lord when he returned because he made a mistake in escaping grain last time. Qiao Rui also beat him with twenty army sticks, and he is still lying on the couch and unable to get off the ground."

"Although it was an innocent disaster, it's not bad to be able to save one's life after making such a big mistake. Could it be because of Long Xiang that Mister sent his soldiers back to his hometown this time?" Chen Gong looked at Han Yin curiously.

"Long Yunqi lost his troops last time, and there were only more than a hundred soldiers left in his army. Now he can't even make up a song. Qiao Rui wrote a letter asking me to return the troops, so I can simply be a favor." Han Yin said and took out Qiao Rui. letter.

Chen Gong unfolded the silk letter to read it, and quickly returned it to Han Yin, shaking his head and sighing: "Thanks to Long Yunqi's return of 'retiring Zhang Fei alone', and now he is in such a miserable state, I'm afraid that sir will not return the twenty guards, He can't even do little Quhou."

"Everyone is a colleague, help if you can, everything is Chen Yu." Halfway through the sentence, Han Yin suddenly turned serious, and asked in a deep voice: "Recently, Marquis Wen has had a close relationship with the Chen family and his son. Think there's anything weird about it?"

"It's not that you and I have joined forces to make the Chen family spit out [-] hu of military rations. It's normal for my lord to be close to them. Don't think too much, Mr. Han." Chen Gong shook his head lightly.

Han Yin opened his hand, and his voice suddenly became high-pitched: "Otherwise, the Chen family and his son are not incompetent people. Since you and I have formed a relationship with the Chen family, there may be some back-ups. The public platform has to guard against it." .”

"Don't worry sir, with Chen Gong here, you will be safe." Chen Gong is quite confident in himself.

Han Yin squinted his eyes and twitched his beard, and a cold light flashed in the slits of his eyes, "The so-called preemptive strikes are followed by others. The Chen family has been entrenched in Xuzhou for many years. If we really use some shady schemes, we may not be able to deal with them. Besides, Wen Hou takes The name of Xuzhou is not right, and the Chen family may recognize Liu Bei more, maybe Gongtai doesn't think that it is unreasonable for Marquis Wen to shoot a halberd at Xiaopeiyuan Gate?"

"Hiss, I also secretly suspected it." Chen Gong frowned.

Han Yin continued: "My lord hates Liu Bei deeply, and has become close friends with Marquis Wen. Marquis Wen is now close to Chen and estranged from Yuan, but the Chen family has secretly communicated with Liu Bei. The public has to find a way."

"I can save it." Chen Gong answered simply, but he was already analyzing in his heart.

Chen Gui and his son are now pretending to be a snake, are they really helping Liu Bei secretly?If Yuan Shu really got angry and attacked, would the Chen family take advantage of Lu Bu to fight and welcome Liu Bei to Xiapi?

There is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be any reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days?It is necessary to eliminate hidden dangers in advance.

Seeing Chen Gong frowning and thinking, Han Yin leaned forward and asked in a voice like a mosquito: "If Lu Bu doesn't listen to others, Gongtai might as well consider going to Huainan. My lord will sweep the bed and wait. We all have something in common." Enemy Cao Bandit"

"Sir, be careful, this is not the end of the matter. If that is the case, the Yuan and Lu families will be in trouble. Wouldn't Cao thief be pleased?" Chen Gong looked around, then shook his head again and again.

Han Yin went one step further, and said to Chen Gong with a smile: "General Hao has already agreed, if Mr. is willing to cooperate, how can Xuzhou be named Lu? At that time, my master will occupy Xu and Yang, so why be afraid of that thief Cao?"

Chen Gong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop, "Let's not mention this matter for now. Although Lu Bu is a reckless person, he did not betray me. The Chen family and his son have flattered me recently, and I will devise a plan to solve it."

"How to break it?"

"You will know in a few days, and your Lord will definitely not doubt it by then."

"Uh ok"

The next day, Han Yin made some money and arranged for twenty guards to leave the city.

The messenger sent by Tang Yu, after explaining clearly to everyone, returned to Xiapi among the people before the city gate was closed in the evening.

Long Xiang knew that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu would eventually have a battle. If he followed Qiao Rui to join the conquest in the future, this secret line might be useful. Under the premise of his own lack of ability, he could only make such a simple layout, which was a precautionary measure.

A few days later, Lu Bu sent Hou Cheng north to buy horses. Hou Cheng bought horses from Qingzhou and passed through Changli County.

When Hou Cheng returned to Xiapi to plead guilty, Chen Gui and his son were drinking with Lu Bu, and Hou Cheng was kicked out of the mansion after being cursed.

"Fortunately, he is still my cavalry general, and the horse was snatched by robbers and villains? It is a shame and shame." Lu Bu clenched his fists and spun around on the spot.

"Changli County is very close to Qingzhou, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans over there have always been rampant. General Hou's loss is understandable." Chen Deng glanced at Chen Gui, and hurriedly got up to intercede for Hou Cheng.

Lü Bu frowned and asked, "Yuan Long is referring to the generals of Mount Tai? Zang Ba and others have already surrendered, so they dare to obey and disobey?"

"It's hard to say, anyway, it's the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and there is no other strongman in Xuzhou." Chen Deng clasped his hands and explained.

"Hou Cheng didn't recognize the bandit leader, so I don't even know who to seek revenge from." Lu Bu was so angry that he punched the table, wondering if he was acting too weak?Anyone can reach into Xuzhou?In the past, Yuan Shu's betrothal gifts and rations were burned, and now Hou Cheng bought horses and was taken away by others. Don't you take Fang Tian's painting halberd seriously?

"Marquis Wen, there are still some trivial matters at home, so the two of us will leave first, and we will meet again tomorrow." Seeing that Lu Bu was angry and unwilling to stay any longer, Chen Gui dragged Chen Deng to leave.

"Doctor, go yourself." Lu Bu raised his hand lightly.

The father and son left the house immediately, and it was not until they got into the carriage that Chen Deng whispered to Chen Gui: "Although Changli is close to Qingzhou, it is also very close to Xiaopei."

"That's why I winked for my father. Fortunately, Yuanlong understands my intention." Chen Gui nodded with his beard.
