On the official road, Lu Bu rode forward in high spirits.

Before coming to Bingzhou to defect to Chen Xu, he didn't expect that Zhang Yang was not in Jinyang. When he learned the news, he was immediately uneasy.

There is no such thing as a close friend, and he is circling from it. In addition, Lu Bu had no contact with Chen Xu before. Not only that, he was once in Yanmen County and almost shot Chen Xu to death.

If it weren't for a personal soldier under Chen Xu at that time, he desperately blocked an arrow for him. I'm afraid that Chen Xu will be unable to escape the fate of death at that time.

Therefore, after Lu Bu learned that Zhang Yang was not in Jinyang, he was very frightened, for fear that Chen Xu would settle accounts with him after the autumn.

What Lu Bu didn't expect was that when he came to Bingzhou this time, Chen Xu not only did not mention the previous things, but asked his uncle to be a matchmaker and marry his daughter.

Although Chen Xu already has a wife and a concubine, Lu Bu believes that with his own bravery and reputation, as long as he serves under the state account, he will definitely be able to win enough status for his daughter.

At that time, he will add fuel to the fire. In the future, Chen Xu's family business will not be left to his daughter's children?

Thinking of his daughter, Lu Bu's face could not suppress a trace of tenderness.

He is now nearly forty years old, and although he occasionally engages in affairs, he does not give any other woman a name except for his wife, Wei.

And he only has Lu Qiling, a daughter. (The daughter of Lu Bu in history, there is no name recorded, so I will use the name in the game of later generations) Therefore, Lu Bu is very doting on this only daughter

"I used to go to Dong Zhuo's house and worship him as my father-in-law, and I was not inferior to a dwarf. Now I have come to Bingzhou and married my daughter to Wen Zhao, the lord of Bingzhou, and I will become my junior in the future, and I will be called my uncle. ”

Now Lu Bu has become proud again. But when he saw Zhao Yun in front of him, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy and unhappiness in his heart.

Although Chen Xu's marriage to Lu Qiling was decided, he did not let Lu Bu lead the troops alone, but instead sent him to Zhao Yun as a deputy general.

Since Chen Xu's rise, Zhao Yun, an incomparably brave general, has also become famous.

Whether it is 10,000 cavalry to take the party, or to level the Huns overnight, or to break more than 100,000 Xianbei cavalry at the foot of Wolf Juxu Mountain, it is a very proud record.

It can be said that the current Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, in terms of fame, are not much worse than Lu Bu. Zhao Yun, a famous general with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, even surpasses Lu Bu in terms of fame.

Chen Xu arranged Lu Bu to serve under Zhao Yun's account, and although Lu Bu was unhappy in his heart, it was not easy to refute.

All of the above was not the main reason why Lu Bu was hostile to Zhao Yun. There are two things that make Lu Bu jealous of Zhao Yun the most, the first is Zhao Yun's bravery.

In Yanmen County that year, the young Zhao Yun faced Lu Bu and had already fallen into disadvantage after 50 rounds of fighting. But as Zhao Yun grew older, his bravery continued to increase.

Lu Bu could feel that Zhao Yun had the potential to surpass him in terms of personal bravery. This couldn't help but make Lu Bu, who had always been extremely conceited, feel a strong crisis.

As for the second reason why he was hostile to Zhao Yun, it was because Zhao Yun's sister also married Chen Xu and gave birth to a son for Chen Xu.

Now that Lu Bu is about to marry Chen Xu, he has to think about his daughter's future.

In Lu Bu's opinion, Chen Xu's current wife, Zhang Ling, has no foundation in the Bingzhou army. In the future, even if Chen Xu canonizes the son, he will not canonize Zhang Ling's son.

On the contrary, Zhao Yu has Zhao Yun as his backing, and most of the generals in the state are friendly with Zhao Yun. If in the future, Zhao Yun wants to put his sister's son in the position of the prince of Bingzhou, he will have a great chance of success.

Therefore, at the moment when Lu Bu decided to marry his daughter to Chen Xu, he was destined to fight for power and profit with Zhao Yun all the time.

It's a pity that Chen Xu doesn't know what Lu Bu thinks now, otherwise he would definitely look up to the sky and smile.

Chen Xu sent Lu Bu to Zhao Yun's tent, precisely because he had the intention of using Zhao Yun's brave martial arts to deter Lu Bu. As for Lu Bu's plan to be so advanced, Chen Xu would definitely disdain it when he knew it.

As a person from later generations, although Chen Xu does not have the concept of establishing a descendant or a young man.

However, Chen Xu is familiar with history, but he also knows that since ancient times, abolishing the heirs and establishing the young, abolishing the elders and establishing the young, is the way to bring about self-destruction.

As long as his eldest son Chen Zheng is not stupid or stupid, he can be a general. The position of the prince will fall to Chen Zheng sooner or later.

As for what Lu Bu thinks, the fact that Zhang Ling has no foundation in the Bingzhou Army is even more nonsense.

Chen Xu got up in the Yellow Turban, and the backbone generals under the tent were all Yellow Turban soldiers before. Even people like Guan Hai, Zhang Yan, and Yang Feng, who later defected to Chen Xu, would naturally be friendly to Zhang Ling.

Moreover, Tian Feng, a strategist under Chen Xu's account, used to be a fellow villager with Zhang Jiao, and the two had a good relationship. In any case, he will not let Chen Xu grow up.

Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes. Although Chen Xu didn't want to create a faction in the Bingzhou army. But now, there is still the shadow of a faction.

The first force in the state army is naturally Chen Xu's own clan.

With Chen Gong, Chen Hu, Chen Jing, and Chen Qing as the mainstays, they are Chen Xu's clansmen, and they are in power in Bingzhou, so they are naturally a force to be reckoned with.

Clans, even if they don't deliberately form a group, will inadvertently form a huge force.

Coupled with them, they have an unusually close relationship with Chen Xu. Therefore, in the entire territory of the state, no one dares to ignore this force.

The second force is the backbone of the army, which is dominated by the Yellow Turban Army. They are very supportive of Zhang Jiao's daughter Zhang Ling.

In addition, in private, Zhang Ling also called Tian Feng 'uncle', so Tian Feng can also be regarded as Zhang Ling's family.

In the Bingzhou army, a second force with Chen Xu's eldest son as the core was formed.

It can be said that although Chen Zheng has not grown up yet, there are already many people who support him now.

The third force is a small group formed by Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang, Wang Rou, and Hao Zhao.

Since ancient times, the local consciousness of the Chinese people has been very strong. The generals of the same state and county in the Han Dynasty naturally had a sense of closeness.

Speaking of this, I have to say that most of Lu Bu and his generals are also from Bingzhou. If Lu Bu is good at dealing with people, he may not be able to win them over, and Gao Shun is a merger group.

In contrast, Cheng Yu, Dian Wei, and Wang Yan were born in Yanzhou and had the earliest friendship with Chen Xu. Speaking of which, they are also friendly with Chen Xu, and they can be said to be Chen Xu's henchmen.

The fourth force in the state army is a small group headed by Zhao Yun.

Zhao Huang, Jiang Wu, and Tang Chen, they were born outside the Saiwai. Since defecting, most of their brothers have served under Zhao Yun's account.

After a long time, several people were also impressed by Zhao Yun's bravery and character. On weekdays, he is naturally extremely friendly with Zhao Yun.

Fortunately, Chen Xu's use of the way of employing people is also not what it used to be. In the Bingzhou Army, there are several prototypes of small groups, and Chen Xu has long been aware of the fire.

But again, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes. Chen Xu had no way to stop the private contacts of his generals.

All he could do was try to blur the lines of such groups.

With the expansion of Chen Xu's power, more and more people will come to Chen Xu. At that time, the relationship between the generals under Chen Xu will become more complicated.

Spring has arrived, and summer is not too far away. If you were in the south, the weather would have become unbearably hot.

However, Bingzhou is located in the north of China, and the weather naturally heats up very slowly.

Rao is like this, under the long-distance attack of the army, the faces of the soldiers also have fine beads of sweat.

As the war horses galloped past, the grass and trees on both sides of the road drove quickly backwards. The eyes of the war horses under the crotches of the soldiers occasionally looked at the verdant grass, but they showed a thick coveted color.

Zhao Yun took the lead and drove at the front of the team. He looked up at the sky and asked the guide, "How long will it take to reach the lacquer wall?" ”

Qi Huan, located in the southernmost part of Shangjun, goes deep into the hinterland of Si Lizuo Feng Yi. If Zhao Yun wants to send troops to Zuo Feng Yi, he must pass by Qi Huan.

Since Chen Xu has set a strategy to attack Si Li. Cheng Yu first led the 10,000 elite infantry soldiers of Shangjun and rushed to Qi Huan in advance.

Zhao Yun led his troops from Jinyang and wanted to join Cheng Yu in Qihuan.

Now under Zhao Yun's command, there are 10,000 newly replenished cavalry, and there are also 5,000 Hun cavalry.

Due to the battle of Wolf Juxu Mountain, the Huns also lost a lot. Yu Fuluo repeatedly asked Chen Xu to recruit less Hun cavalry.

After Chen Xu discussed with Tian Feng and others, he believed that the current strength of the Xiongnu had been greatly reduced. If another 10,000 Hun cavalry were recruited, I am afraid that it would be unreasonable.

Therefore, Chen Xu agreed to Yu Fuluo's request and only requisitioned 5,000 Hun cavalry.

The guide heard Zhao Yun's inquiry, carefully identified the current location, and replied: "Now that we have reached the realm of Fu County, we can reach Qiyuan after Fu County." If the general urges the sergeants under his tent to march quickly, they will be able to reach the lacquered wall tonight. ”

"At the current rate, I'm afraid it won't be until tomorrow."

Zhao Yun thought for a while, and secretly thought in his heart: "Although our journey is only to deter Li Dao and others, it also has a very important role. ”

"Since ancient times, soldiers have been fast. Although the soldiers will be tired by the rapid whipping, there is no danger in marching in the territory of the state, and there is no worry about running long distances. ”

"In that case, it's better to arrive at Qihuan a day earlier."

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun raised the spear in his hand and said loudly: "The whole army obeys the order, hurry up, advance at full speed, and strive to arrive at Qihuan tonight!" ”
