Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 105

Chapter 105 The Wretched Liu Bei
At this time marotta has been through tears, just look up and wipe away with sleeves. However, this action was still carefully observed by Jia Xu.

Very quickly, zhaoyun selected two thousand warriors, including Chen Liucheng defensive troops, also have captured the west cool warriors.

Lyu3 bu4 tidied up after the army again, the sky has been bright, he took marotta strategist, lieutenant xu rong led troops to bing direction.

After watching Lu Bu’s army set off, Giffin finally couldn’t help but say, “Master, you’ve completely subdued Wen You.”

“Haha, is Wen He praising me?” Listening to giffin, zhang chao couldn’t help but laugh.

“No, master is really very human, especially generous, bright moon into the bosom, open-minded mind is unmatched. This is a must for a major success.” Although giffin is doing praise, but at the same time is also in the truth.

Marotta and lyu3 bu4 are captured will, just said to recognize the master, have this trust, can lead troops out alone, just this trust, few people can do in the world, at least dong zhuo, suspicious cao cao also not.

Zhang Chao had indeed done it, which seemed to have proved a lot of problems.

“There’s no doubt about using people. There’s no need to doubt people. Besides, Wen You is a smart person, so he should know how to do it.” Zhang Chao said with a faint smile. Giffin can see his breadth of mind, marotta can’t see? He should feel more deeply, more for his master and do his best.

Not long after the vanguard cavalry left, Zhang Chao brought zhaoyun and five hundred zhang army cavalry, two thousand dragon and tiger army cavalry chased after cao cao.

It was not that Zhang Chao was willing to follow Cao Cao, but this was also the best way to go to Chen Liu.

In the morning, because he was anxious to hurry, Zhang Chao found a forest to stop all the soldiers to rest. He also found a shade of a tree and took out his dry rations-steamed buns and dried fish, as well as the most ordinary, low degree of heroic drunkenness.

Speaking of steamed buns, they were originally invented by Zhuge Liang.

Steamed buns were originally made to replace the heads of the barbarians who were used as sacrifices, so they were called barbarians. Afterwards, they were used as taboos, and then they were added to the food to become the current steamed buns.

Even though Zhang Chao had appeared here, this invention was naturally his own. The first pot that he had left in Chen had surprised Bai Tong and the others for a long time.

The second was dried fish, not dried beef, because there was a tradition of not killing cattle, which was a necessity for farmers. For this reason, Zhang Chao replaced it with dried fish, which had a bit of salty flavor. When paired with steamed buns and wine, it was considered a good meal during the march.

As for convenience and affordability compared to a pot helmet (the earliest reason was because of the Qin army, in order to facilitate the war, the wheat was ground into powder and then crushed into balls to be roasted on the pot. This was the origin of the pot helmet.)

Just as they were eating and drinking wine, the sentry not far away actually sent out a dangerous signal. Immediately, the two thousand and five cavalry mounted their horses and were ready to fight at any time.

The general of the Dragon Tiger Army, Zhao Yun, stood with his spear in hand, like a fierce tiger, ready to attack at any time.

Zhang Chao wasn’t panicking. Although he didn’t know who was coming, he wasn’t afraid if it was an enemy. There were all warriors here, so it wasn’t easy to catch up if he couldn’t beat them.

From afar, in the line of sight of everyone, a large and somewhat dilapidated “Liu” character flag slowly appeared.

“It’s Liu Bei.” Zhao Yun’s eyesight was excellent, and he quickly saw who was coming, so he turned around and said loudly to Zhang Chao.

“Put away your vigilance.” Hearing that it was liu bei, zhang chao let the vigilant cavalry withdraw, and then he accompanied by dian wei and xu chu and the iron guards to meet liu bei.

At this moment, Liu Bei was in a very sorry state. Originally, he had brought a troop of three thousand people, but now he saw that the number was less than five hundred, and everyone was dispirited. Not many of them even had their military uniforms intact.

The leaders, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, lost their previous colors and wore ragged clothes, as if they had crawled out of the pile of dead people.

“Is that General Liu?” Zhang Chao shouted when he was still a hundred meters away from them.

“Yes, General Zhang, I saw you.” When he saw Zhang Chao, Liu Bei actually had the urge to cry.

This time, he borrowed three thousand troops to resist the seven thousand troops led by Dong Zhuo’s army, Li Ji.

Originally, he thought that relying on the icy water in the river, he could use bows and arrows to stop the enemy, so he should have a chance of winning. In fact, this was how the first day of the battle was fought, and everyone was evenly matched. But that night, Li Ji borrowed a thousand cavalry and came from the river bank. A thieving camp came. Liu Bei was caught off guard and was caught off guard. If it weren’t for his second brother Guan Yu and third brother Zhang Fei being invincible, he would have really died there.

After being stolen from the camp, Liu Bei’s strength was greatly damaged, and he began to flee and evacuate, so much so that he couldn’t eat or sleep well for the past few days, which resulted in his current sorry state.

Zhang Chao couldn’t help but sigh as he listened to Liu Bei recount his experiences for a few days. In history, Liu Xuande had experienced many tribulations when he started his business, but now it seemed that he was still like this. The path of fate was truly a miraculous thing.

As for Liu Bei, Zhang Chao didn’t want to take him in, but he met him. If he didn’t care about it, it would be bad for his reputation to spread out. He thought about it and said, “Alright, I’m going to meet up with Cao Cao and Sun chien now. If General Liu is willing, then let’s go together.”

Hearing that Zhang Chao was willing to take him with him, Liu Bei was naturally grateful. After seeing Zhang Chao ordered his soldiers to give up three horses, he was even more grateful.

Following Zhang Chao’s team, Liu Bei knew that they had gone to Chang’an to receive the Emperor Xian. At the same time, Zhang Chao was also worshipped as a general and conferred the title of Bingzhou City Mu. He naturally had an expression of envy.

But then zhang chao said, if liu bei nowhere to go, he as a general, his job is to control the world army, but when he took in, he really hesitated.

It was not bad to be under Zhang Chao now, at least there was a safe place to go. Eat, wear, use and travel can be guaranteed. But liu bei himself is a ambitious person, he is not willing to bow at the feet of others. Unless this master was weak and incompetent, he might take his place, just like the historical Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.

Evidently, Zhang Chao was not a weak lord. On the contrary, he had an idea. He had only brought 3,500 soldiers with him when he went on the expedition, but now, he had become 2,500 cavalry. Although the number of cavalry was small, his combat strength seemed to be strong again. At the same time, he also had people around him who were comparable to his second and third brothers. How could such a lord be weaker?

After following such a person, I don’t know when he will rise to prominence. If he doesn’t do well, his second brother and third brother will become the wedding clothes of others. Thinking about this, Liu Bei shook his head, but he also gave a sufficient reason and said, “After I meet the Emperor, I’ll listen to his arrangements.”

Zhang Chao’s heart skipped a beat and he wanted to recruit Liu Bei. He thought that Liu Bei was not someone who was willing to be lonely. He was afraid that even if he followed him now, he would go back on his word. Even so, it was better not to take him in. Thus, he answered, “That’s good too.”

With this unpleasant conversation, there was much less communication between the two of them. Along the way speechless, in the afternoon, zhang chao caught up to cao cao army.

At this time, because cao cao to accompany the emperor, it is really not fast, but also learned that yuan ben chu in front of the road put out a military formation, a ready to fight at any time, his strength is inferior to him, is a worry, see zhang chao behind with two thousand five hundred cavalry, is overjoyed.

Far away cao cao unexpectedly alone, zhang chao stopped because of this, he doesn’t know what the opposite side is, according to now cao “purpose to arrive, shouldn’t see yourself so polite. If he really thought of himself as a general, he wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death.

Zhang Chao had just stopped, but Cao Cao had already arrived on horseback, “Aiya, Zhiyuan brother, but it’s time for you.”

“Oh? Could it be that Brother Meng De encountered an enemy?” Zhang Chao had a shocked expression as he dismounted from his horse to welcome him, but he was already extremely vigilant in his heart.

‘”Brother Zhiyuan is so predictable. To tell you the truth, Yuan Shao did not know where to find out that we entered Chang’an City to rescue Lieutenant General Xian Di. The scouts ahead came to report that he was waiting for us in front of the army formation.” Speaking of this matter, Cao Cao’s face was filled with bitterness as he said, “You know, if any dispute really happened, I’m afraid it would shock the emperor.”

“Bullshit, you’re so shocked that you’re afraid that Emperor Xian will be snatched away, right?” Zhang Chao thought to himself. But the mouth said, “no way, lombardi is also a subject, how dare to dance knives in front of the emperor gun?”

“Aiyaya, Zhiyuan doesn’t know anything. Why wouldn’t Yuan Benchu dare? Back then, when the emperor sent an envoy to ask for help from him, he was killed as well. He didn’t even recognize this emperor at all.” Cao cao said here is really anxious, very difficult to offer the imperial capital from changan, can’t have any accidents.

Zhang Chao suddenly realized, “So there is such a thing. Then you have to be careful.”

“That’s right, that’s why I’m here waiting for Brother Zhiyuan.” Cao Cao, do you understand now?

Zhang Chao thought the emperor’s carriage was too slow, so it was cao cao afraid of lombardi.

“Then what does Brother Meng De mean?” Zhang Chao asked, thinking quickly in his heart, if he wanted to fight with lombardi now, he would never do this work. After all, he had obtained everything he deserved, so he could leave immediately.

Seeing Zhang Chao ask, Cao Cao put on an embarrassed expression and probed, “Zhiyuan, you are now a great general worshipped by the emperor. You can control the military forces of the whole country. Is it up to you to settle things like this that might result in battles and killings?”
