Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 104
Chapter 104 Dragon Tiger Army and the Vanguard
Zuo Feng said these words confidently, which made Zhang Chao look at him in a new light. “Does that mean that Lord Zuo’s words at Emperor Han Xian’s place can be considered useful?”
“Naturally.” Speaking of this matter, Zuo Feng had a confident expression.
‘”Haha, it seems that Lord Zuo is indeed powerful. We meet by fate. However, I just met the Emperor. He has already made me a general and sealed Bingzhou City Mu. I don’t think Lord Zuo is needed to say anything good for me anymore.” Zhang Chao had a smile on his face. It was a big surprise that there would be such a result. He thought that getting a Zhou Mu was already not bad, but now, it seemed that Emperor Han Xian really wanted to have the imperial power too much. It was unknown how angry Cao Cao was at this moment.
“Ah! Zuo Feng greets Great General!” After hearing that Zhang Chao actually had such a high position, Zuo Feng also knew that the person in front of him was no longer the small satrap who needed to give him money to promote his official position. He was already a general who could tie up the country’s military forces.
Zuo Feng actually began to pay his respects. Zhang Chao hurriedly helped him up and said, “That’s not the case. We have a personal relationship, no matter what.”
Zhang Chao was already a man of the same age. He thought that if it weren’t for Zuo Feng’s help, he would have had a long way to go. He sighed and said, “Lyu bu won’t come to the other palaces. Now the Emperor should be ready to move east. If you want to stay by the Emperor’s side, it would be extremely safe now.” “If you don’t want to follow me, you can also tell me. I will arrange for you to leave, and then I will give you a sum of money to send you to a safe place for the elderly. It can also be considered our fate to have a good end. What do you think?”
Zhang Chao could say these words with his own heart. However, he had never expected that Zuo Feng would be moved and help him accomplish a major task in the future. Of course, these were the last words, so he didn’t mention them for the time being.
Zuo Feng never thought that Zhang Chao would make friends with him like this. Originally, in his eyes, it was the exchange of money and power. Now that he heard this, he naturally felt a myriad of feelings.
In this life, Zuo Feng had once been glorious. When the Spirit Emperor of the Han Dynasty was in power, their eunuchs were extremely powerful. The people they had seen before did not know who they were. But when there was a real disaster, how could they have made any friends? Now that Zhang Chao could say those words, he was truly moved.
At this moment, Zhang Chao did not notice Zuo Feng’s expression. Instead, he continued, “Back then, when Zhang Rang was killed, I arranged for someone to find your next path. However, I couldn’t find you, so I thought you were in danger. Now that we can meet again, it is also fate. Tell me, whatever you want, I will fulfill your wish.”
With these words, Zuo Feng was even more touched. Has this person never forgotten about him? In other words, he didn’t live for nothing. He had at least made a sincere friend. ‘”Great General, even if you are so considerate of me, how can I only care about myself? In this way, I will stay by Emperor Xian’s side. If there is anything else, I can say a few words on your behalf. It can be considered as fulfilling our friendship.” He thought for a moment before replying, “Great General, if you are so considerate of me, how can I only care about myself?”
Seeing that Zuo Feng was serious, Zhang Chao knew that this person was still greedy for power, so he let go. He nodded and said to Dian Wei beside him, “Zi Man, take out some money. It’s impossible for Lord Zuo to stay by the Emperor’s side without money.”
“Yes.” Dian Wei agreed and went to find the quartermaster who was in charge of the finance.
Hearing that Zhang Chao still wanted to give the money, Zuo Feng said with a face full of shame, “Great General, you don’t need me to speak up for you now. Why do you still want to give the money to me?”
“These are two different things. This time, I’m sending you money to express my feelings. It’s because I can’t save you from Luoyang in time. It has nothing to do with anything else. You can just accept it safely.” Zhang Chao replied seriously.
The money was taken by Dian Wei. For convenience, all he brought was gold. He took a first look and carried a whole package in his hand.
After accepting the package, Zuo Feng almost wasn’t brought down by it. He knew that Zhang Chao was sincerely treating him. He immediately clasped his fists and said, “Our family will remember the kindness of the Great General today, but we will definitely live up to it if we are urged to do so in the future.”
Zuo Feng left with the gold in his hand. Looking at the background of his departure, Zhang Chao couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “Small people also have small people’s lives. Perhaps for Zuo Feng, this is what he hopes to get.”
“Report, Gun Zhou Mu Cao Cao asks the Great General to prepare to leave Chang’an.” A member of the Zhangjiajun Army who was in charge of transmitting the news walked not far away and knelt on the ground and shouted.
“I see.” Zhang Chao agreed, the corner of his mouth carrying a trace of disdain, this cao cao’s courage is really small, so anxious to rush overnight, presumably also afraid of something unexpected. Even so, he should leave as well. Once Dong Zhuo knew that the lyu3 bu4 into the city is only to snatch away the healthy horse, and their three-way coalition army also came only more than ten thousand people, I’m afraid they will really kill back, fearless struggle is meaningless.
Night into the city, night left, did not disturb too many people, han xian emperor under the protection of cao cao and sun chien, left chang’an.
Zhang Chao walked in the end, he said to cao cao is to stay behind, once dong zhuo chase, he will stall for time.
Zhang Chao so righteous, let cao cao is very touched. He had been troubled about the palace before. Fortunately, the counselor, Xi Zhi, explained, “Zhang Chao has only obtained the name of Bingzhou City Mu. Whether he can really lead there depends on his strength and methods.” As for the position of general, it was just a false name, who would really be driven by it? “But tso, this time to control the emperor, you can serve the son of heaven to order the dukes, so that is the real long-term base of the capital.”
Xi Zhicai’s persuasion made Cao Cao suddenly enlightened, and the hostility towards Zhang Chao in his heart was not so strong. Now that he saw Zhang Chao volunteering, he was even more touched.
Cao cao and Sun Jian left first, zhang chao with five hundred light cavalry waiting at the east gate of changan city. There was no emperor beside him, there were only cavalry that could come and go without a trace, so he wouldn’t be afraid of Dong Zhuo really chasing after him.
But will still guard the east gate, but is waiting for lyu3 bu4 news. He was worried that he wouldn’t be able to see them leave the city.
It was about dawn, and finally a rumbling sound came from beneath his feet. “I think I should have completed the mission first.” Zhang Chao felt the earth tremble and said with a happy expression.
In a short while, a large group of cavalry rushed out from the east gate. The person leading them was Lyu bu, who was riding on the red rabbit horse with the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand.
Seeing from afar that Zhang Chao was leading his troops to stand at the city gate, Lyu bu knelt down and said, “Lord, five thousand West Cool Healthy Horses were snatched by me. Now, they have been divided into two groups according to your instructions.” A horse to follow me to the west cool cavalry, a total of three thousand ride. “A batch of Chen Liu City Defense Forces, a total of two thousand cavalry, plus the original captured after the West Cool Warriors two thousand people, a total of seven thousand knights, please review!”
His voice was loud and clear, and it was hundreds of meters long. It could be seen that Lyu bu was also excited at this moment.
Zhang Chao was also very excited. This trip to Chang’an was also very rewarding. He completed the initial plan he had made here and became the nominal Bingzhou City Mu as he wished. This was equivalent to having a foundation for himself. In the future, he would have no face to act according to the expressions of outsiders.
Originally also thought, just by the previous layout, by country and others to bing thousands of people may be difficult to establish a foothold, but now with the seven thousand strong, is different, on the strength of the occupy a lot of advantages, is not far from the real command of bing the whole six prefectures.
The dream in his heart was coming true step by step from now on. Zhang Chao said excitedly, “Good, let’s do it well first.”
As he sighed, Zhang Chao turned his head to Zhao Yun and said, “Zilong, didn’t you always want to lead the cavalry? Choose two thousand warriors from here as the foundation of your cavalry. The name is named after you. It’s called the Dragon Tiger Army.”
“Thank you, Lord.” Zhao Yun was naturally very happy after hearing this and immediately agreed straightforwardly.
“Haha, good. The remaining five thousand cavalry will serve as pioneers. Their names will also be based on words. How about we call them the vanguard army?” Zhang Chao also didn’t forget about Lyu bu and turned around to ask.
“Thank you, Lord.” Lyu bu replied excitedly. At the very least, this proved that his actions had been recognized by Zhang Chao and that he had a place in the Zhang Corporation. This was the most important thing.
“Mm, just pick your soldiers quickly.” Zhang Chao waved his hand, and the next matter was handled by the two generals. He is giffin and marotta two top counselors called over. “The two of you, in order to hide your body, serve first this time don’t follow me back to Chen Liu, but directly to bing, to help in the country, cao cao laid a solid foundation, then I wonder who is willing to follow the military counselor?”
After Zhang Chao’s question, giffin unconsciously took a step back. Evidently, he did not compete for the job, or said he know things, so marotta is staring at zhang chao, apparently interested in the job.
“Oh, so it seems that Wen You will temporarily be the military advisor of the vanguard army.” Seeing that the two counselors had made their choice, Zhang Chao nodded and said his decision.
Zhang chao so happy to make a decision, marotta expression is one leng, as will head low answered: “never disappoint master’s expectations.”
“Haha, alright, pack up. Prepare to go. We’ll see you in Bing Zhou then.” Zhang Chao laughed, patted marotta’s shoulder.
