Shen Chong is also a person with considerable executive power, and now on the line of life and death, he can only trust Yang Yan to the greatest extent, and even ignore why Yang Yan would find out Xi Jian's whereabouts, and immediately sent people to invite Liu Yao, Han Huang, Cai Bao and Hou Li over, after ventilating, these people almost had their lungs exploding, and they unanimously agreed to go to Tingting Mountain and question Xi Jian in person.
The sky gradually darkened, and a group of more than 2,000 horsemen galloped out of the back gate of the city, disappeared into the darkness, and found the Xijian camp the next morning.
If it weren't pointed out by Yang Yan's personal guards, I am afraid that I would not know it in person when I arrived at the ground, Xi Jianjun was stationed in a canyon about three zhang deep, and the camp tents were all stationed on both sides of the canyon, looking down from above, it was difficult to find, and at the mouth of the valley, trees and rattans were stacked together to camouflage, just like a mountain wall, and those who did not know were easily confused.
"This Xi Gong, hey, my mind is too heavy."
Cai Bao couldn't help but shake his head.
"Hmph" Shen Chong snorted angrily: "Xi Daohui is very calculating, he really treats us as a dog and a dolphin, so I will shout and ask Xi Jian to come out and meet."
"No" Several soldiers stepped forward and called loudly: "Shen Fujun is coming to visit, please open the door to greet Xi" "What, what, Shen Fujun, which Shen Fujun" "Shen Chong, how did he find it?"
"Go back and report back."
Faintly, there was a panicked sound behind Taniguchi, and everyone looked at each other and smiled.
After a while, the rockery wall made of trees and rattans slowly opened, and Xi Jian galloped out of it with dozens of horses.
The vast majority of those present had never seen Xi Jian, and they were all curious to look at the past, the leader was nearly fifty years old, with a clear face, black beard, wearing a long robe, and the robe belt fluttered gently with the bumps of the horses and the blowing of the wind, quite a famous man's style.
This makes people have to say something pertinent, no wonder Xi Jian can win people's hearts, just his appearance, waiting for leisure can make people feel close, but when he thinks of Xi Jian's actions, he can't help but secretly disdain in his heart.
Today's people are all strong and strong, naturally they know what kind of calculation Xi Jian is making, it is nothing more than that he has nothing but fame at hand, so he can only follow Liu Xuande's path, and the ordinary Shengdou Xiaomin, a few words of cold and warm greetings are enough to move them to tears, Ji Wei followed, in fact, think about it carefully, what kind of favor Xi Jian has for the people Hardly.
One after another, someone turned their heads to look at Yang Yan.
Yang Yan's path is more similar to Xi Jian, he also has nothing, leading a group of people to cross the river, and he is in Tancheng, and compared with Xi Jian, Yang Yan's conditions are worse, Xi Jian is famous, and Yang Yan is really nothing.
But in just one year, Yang Yan has managed Tancheng well, and has also trained a strong army that is one of the best in Huaibei, only in terms of ability, I don't know how much higher than Xi Jian.
There will be a time when the buds will finally grow."
Many people couldn't help but sigh secretly, such as Shen Chong, Liu Yao and others, there was a flash of gloom in their eyes, everyone knew that if they couldn't take advantage of Shi Hu to attack and strangle Yang Yan, I am afraid that it would be more difficult in the future, and it would even be possible to be swallowed up by Yang Yan one by one.
This can be seen from Yang Yan forcing the captives to slash and kill the peach leopard, this son is ruthless and not dedicated to people.
Yang Yan noticed a strange phenomenon, a considerable number of celebrities at that time were either no queen, such as Wang Dun, or old and rich, such as Xun Song and Xi Jian.
Xun Guan is nineteen this year, Xun Song is forty years old before he has an eldest daughter, Xi Jian is similar, fifty this year, the eldest daughter Xi Xuan Fangling is fourteen.
According to Yang Yan's guess, it may have been a child who died due to various accidents, or bad lifestyle habits such as taking pills and taking loose pills that led to infertility.
Immediately, Yang Yan's thinking diverged, and Ge Hong, Bao Gu, Ge Huiniang, and the old fairy Bao who had never met flashed in front of him one by one.
And under Xi Jian's plain face, there was an almost imperceptible shock, when he heard the report of the soldier coming, Shen Chong visited, he was stunned, he thought that his lurking was seamless, how could he be found But the soldier said that he was convincing, so he couldn't believe it, so he could only greet him in person.
At the moment of opening the door, Xi Jian felt a moment in his heart, and faced six people, Le Ma lined up in a row, obviously identical, isn't this just a few military leaders in the coalition army who came to visit him together How so It is no wonder that Xi Jian is unimaginable, in the final analysis, it is also because Yang Yan has the right to control information, and the so-called information here does not refer to a specific action, but based on someone's words and deeds recorded in the history books, the person's personality and temperament are inferred, and then combined with specific events, to assess what kind of behavior will be taken.
After all, character determines fate, and character also determines the style of acting, Yang Yan guessed that Xi Jian must have ambush soldiers, so he searched inch by inch in the area of Tingting Mountain with his personal guards, and sure enough, he found a clue, and then confirmed that Xi Jian was hiding here.
As for the lack of news from Cao Wei's side, it should be related to the excessive range of the remaining veins of Culai Mountain, Cao Wei was once Wang Mi's general, after breaking Gou Xi, he occupied most of Qingzhou, and Shi Lexiang was separated, and sooner or later there would be a conflict, Yang Yan firmly believed that such a person could not seize the only opportunity to break Shihu.
It's getting more and more lively Yang Yan smiled secretly in his heart, and then looked at Xi Jian again, on the surface, Xi Jian's face was full of surprise, and he hugged his fists and smiled: "Which one is the old man of Shen Fujun, Xi Jian, who is not welcome." ” Shen Chong hugged his fists and said: "It is Shen, I have heard the name of Duke Xi for a long time, I came to see him early, but I am entangled in general affairs, and the military situation is urgent, so I have time to come here today, and I hope that Duke Xi will forgive me." ” Xi Jian secretly called out unlucky, but he still said modestly: "Shen Fujun is polite, the old man heard that Shi Hu led the army to come, and he was worried that Shen Fujun was in a hurry, so he temporarily ambushed the troops here, and was waiting to be sent to tell him, to contribute to the breaking stone Jilong, but unexpectedly, Shen Fujun actually came to visit, which really made the old man ashamed." “ Everyone secretly scolded the old dog, and to put it mildly, they rounded up the matter of ambushing the soldiers privately, but this matter could not be studied in detail.
"Gong Xi has a heart, you and I work together, why worry about the thief not breaking" Shen Chong laughed, then turned around and said, "Rong Shen will introduce Gong Xi first, this is Liu Yao and Liu Zhengchang, the assassin of Yanzhou." ” Huaibei martial arts flourishing, the communication between people is relatively direct and simple, not like Jiangdong, the introduction of individuals must also conform to the etiquette law, otherwise it is very easy to resent, and Huaibei people and people, often call their names, everyone is accustomed to their own routine.
Liu Yao was not displeased because Shen Chong didn't give him a certain word, but just hugged his fists and smiled at Xi Jian: "I have heard the name of Xi Gong Gao Yi for a long time, and I can see it today, it is indeed a blessing for three lives." ” "Liu Fujun praised it falsely, and the old man regretted it."
Xi Jian smiled and returned the salute.
Shen Chong continued to introduce.
"This is the former Xuzhou Thorn Shi Cai Bao Cai General" "Waiting for the General" "Huailing Army Sima Han Huang" "Yang Yanzhi, Minister of the East China Sea" Since Xi Jian did not officially serve in the court, the order of introduction was according to seniority, not according to official position, Yang Yan was the youngest and had the least qualifications, ranking last.
Everyone, Xi Jian was polite, but when Yang Yan was introduced, his eyes flashed.
Yang Yan showed favor to the captives, and there were often people on the mountain to discuss it, but those captives couldn't control their mouths, and from time to time they boasted to others, as if they had seen the world, and the listeners were also extremely yearning, which made Xi Jian secretly hate, but he was helpless, after all, he couldn't jaw. originally hoped that this risky blow, if he could win a big victory, his prestige would increase sharply, and a little rumor would no longer be a problem, but this was good, Shen Chong brought someone to the door.
Xi Jian had a ghost in his heart, so he couldn't be tough, so he could only cooperate, so even if he made a meritorious service, it was only a secondary merit, and he couldn't share too many benefits, so all his calculations turned into water.
"It turned out to be Yang Fujun, but it was a young and handsome person, speaking of which, the old man's nephew still owes Yang Fujun more care."
Xi Jian looked at Yang Yan carefully for a moment, and said with an unkind smile.
Yang Yan replied casually: "Since I am a guest in Tancheng, how can Yang not fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and Gong Xi does not have to make a special trip to thank him." “ Shen Chong and the others couldn't help but exchange a surprised look, just by asking and answering, they could roughly judge that the two of them had old grudges, and if they could make good use of them In fact, Shen Chong still admires Yang Yan, not to mention anything else, the ability to make enemies is first-class, for now, he has a grudge against Liu Yao, Su Jun has a mustard, and he has some heart, and what is even more commendable is that he does not deal with Xi Jian.
Xi Jian shook his sleeves and laughed: "The gentlemen are visiting, the old man thinks he is the east, please" "There is Lao Xigong" Everyone saluted and thanked them, each led the deployment, and accompanied Xi Jian to the camp
