Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 106

Chapter 106 Asking For Benefits
“No.” Without waiting for Cao Cao to finish, Zhang Chao shook his head and said, “Brother Meng De, if you speak like this, you’re not going to be honest. Is it possible to control the military forces of the whole country? If that’s the case, then I’ll give the general to you now. You can control Yuan Ben Chu.”

As Zhang Chao spoke, his expression turned cold. Seeing that he was about to lose face, Cao Cao hurriedly said, “Zhiyuan, Brother Zhiyuan, you misunderstood the meaning of’brother ‘. What I mean is that you should talk to Yuan Shao. He thinks highly of you, so he can see what he is thinking. If it’s not too much, then satisfy him.”

As he said this, Cao Cao’s tone softened. He was originally not a person who was willing to submit, but the current situation was not as good as others. It was impossible for him not to lower his head.

Hearing that it wasn’t a fight, but a conversation, Zhang Chao felt much more at ease. However, he still asked, “Why should I talk about it? Is there any benefit?”

“Ah! You still want benefits? Isn’t it enough for a Great General and a Bing Zhou Mu?” Cao Cao pretended to be surprised as he spoke.

“That’s right. Whoever wants to go can go.” Zhang Chao did not go to the theory, instead, it was a matter of no concern, hanging high.

Zhang Chao suddenly ignored him. Cao Cao knew that he had said too much, so he quickly pulled him to the side and said, “Zhiyuan, what else do you want?”

“Let me first listen to what I can promise to Yuan Ben Chu.” Zhang Chao said calmly.

“Yuan Ben Chu has already occupied Hebei. I mean to give Ji Zhou Mu to him and let him control it, but this alone is probably not enough to satisfy him. Gu Si thinks about it again and again and adds a Nether Continent.” Cao Cao thought for a while before deciding. However, these words did not sound like that to Zhang Chao.

You zhou mu is now liu yu, is han guangwu emperor liu xiu son east china sea respectful king liu qiang, after the real han clan clan relatives, you zhou to Yuan Shao, isn’t this equal to the han clan split? Just from this point of view, cao cao swallowed han heart already.

Of course, these were all thoughts in his heart, and Zhang Chao would not say them out loud. What he needed to think about now was how to obtain more power for himself.

Seeing that Zhang Chao did not say anything, Cao Cao thought that what he gave Yuan Shao was not enough, so he said, “Otherwise, why don’t you give Si Li to Yuan Ben Chu as well?”

Although it was probing, Zhang Chao was really angry this time. Nationality included is from luoyang to changan this territory, if the three states are given to lombardi, it is equal to his east, south, north three sides are surrounded, he really became a lonely city. Cao Cao wanted to watch the tiger fight on a mountain, but his thoughts were undoubtedly at a glance. Even so, there was no need for him to be polite. He said, “Let’s forget about Si Li. I’m sure the two continents already have enough Yuan Ben Chu to drink a pot. Didn’t you ask me what I want just now? I’m just asking for a Hedong.”

Hedong was the place where Bing Zhou connected to Si Li. There were twenty counties under his jurisdiction. This was Zhang Chao’s intention to expand the territory under Bing Zhou’s jurisdiction.

Zhang chao opened his mouth to hedong, which made cao cao heart, this person is not by the title of general rushed to dizzy. A Bing Zhou Mu might not even be able to take over Hedong Prefecture, but now he wants to take over Hedong Prefecture. Even if he gives it to you in name, can you eat it?

“What? Brother Meng De is reluctant to part?” Zhang Chao smiled.

“How could that be? This is the place that Brother Zhiyuan likes. Of course I want to give it to you. Here, I will ask the Emperor to draft an edict and deliver it together with Yuan Shao.” Cao Cao in order to achieve the matter of the son of heaven, how can not agree, immediately expressed his stance. However, he did not agree with this matter in his heart. Hedong was an important transportation area. Whoever occupied it would have a great advantage. Even if such a place was given to Zhang Chao, he would not be able to eat it for a while. Once he had a firm footing, why would it be difficult to force Emperor Xian to take back this imperial decree?

“Alright, so be it. Brother Meng De, go.” Zhang Chao said with satisfaction. He didn’t care if Cao Cao was sincere or not. As long as he was given the title now, he could exercise power over that place. “By the way, please bring Liu Bei to the Emperor Xian to take a look. After all, he did his best this time.”

As he spoke, Zhang Chao turned his head to look at Liu Bei, who was in his army, and said, “Brother Xuande, follow Brother Meng De to see what rank you can reward the Emperor Xian. We still need to work together when we go to Yuan Shaojun’s place.”

“Thank you for your recommendation, General.” Liu Bei hurriedly clasped his hands, showing his gratitude.

Originally, Cao Cao didn’t want to pay attention to Liu Bei, but when he heard that he was going to help Lombardi in a meeting, he reluctantly nodded and said, “That’s it. Follow me.”

Zhang Chao knew that gold would shine sooner or later, and that Liu Bei would definitely have a prosperous day. Even if he suppressed it, he could not suppress it. In other words, it was better to do a favor and count the credit on himself, so that he could cause trouble in the Central Plains. Although it had an impact on him, the benefits were not small at the moment. At the very least, with this person stirring up trouble in the Central Plains, he would be able to attract more people’s attention. For him to rule Bingzhou City, accumulating strength could buy enough time.

After liu bei thank you, follow cao cao. Zhang Chao stopped where he was. He was really unhappy that he had to kneel when he went to see the Emperor Xian.

Zhang Chao stood there, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei dismounted from their horses and walked over. Seeing these two people arrive, Dian Wei and Xu Chu also hurriedly made a defensive stance. Everyone had made their move and knew each other’s strength.

“Don’t panic, both of you. We are here to thank the Great General. If it weren’t for the recommendation from the Great General’s shelter, how could our brother possibly meet the Emperor?” Guan Yu said sincerely.

“Yes, let them come over.” Hearing this, Zhang Chao was satisfied for a while. This favor was not in vain, at least he received the gratitude of the two Tiger Generals.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei approached, Zhang Chao smiled and said, “The three of you also contributed to the battle for Dong. It should be like this. If you want to say thank you, follow me to see Yuan Shao and persuade him to withdraw.”

“Grand General’s order.” Guan Yu and Zhang Fei cupped their fists and agreed.

Everyone waited for about a quarter of an hour before Cao Cao and Liu Bei rode back. From afar, both of them had happy expressions on their faces. When he arrived in front of Zhang Chao, Liu Bei’s face turned into a flower.

For some reason, in Zhang Chao’s eyes, Liu Bei’s laughter was more annoying than crying.

Cao Cao’s horse arrived in front of Zhang Chao, and then he sent over two letters, “Zhiyuan, this is the imperial edict written by the Emperor himself, one for you and one for Yuan Benchu.”

“Yes, I see. What is he laughing at?” Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Zhang Chao whispered to Cao Cao.

“Hi. This Liu Bei didn’t know what to say to Emperor Xian, but he actually picked up a relative. In the end, even the Emperor wanted to call him uncle, so he called himself Imperial Uncle Liu.” Speaking of this matter, Cao Cao’s face also had a gloomy expression. He could tell that Liu Bei was a kind of villain’s pride.

“Oh, that’s right.” Zhang Chao finally knew where the title of Royal Uncle Liu came from. However, he still asked, “Even so, I wonder what kind of official the Emperor has sealed on him?”

“Haha.” “Isn’t he the county magistrate of Pingyuan?” Cao Cao said happily. “Now that he has been named the Prime Minister of the Plains, he is the Prime Minister of a country. He is not a small official.” The Han Dynasty practised the system of prefectures. Prefectures were governed by prefectures, and there was the Minister of State. Liu Bei made the Prime Minister of the Plain Country, and the Plain Country was a country. In fact, the Plain Country was just a name. It was roughly the size of a county. Pingyuan County was the current plain county in Shandong Province

Hearing Youling’s disguise, Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment, then smiled. This title only sounded good, but in fact, his power did not change much.

Seeing that Zhang Chao was also happy, Cao Cao smiled and said, “Alright, let’s not talk about him anymore. We still need to see Zhiyuan. Sun Wentai has brought four generals with him in front, and Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun are waiting in front. You don’t need to bring too many people. Yuan Benchu’s disgust is not good.”

“I know.” Zhang Chao’s expression also became serious. He opened the two letters and put them away. Then, he said to Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu, “The three of you, follow me.”

After clicking on these three names, Zhang Chao looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The two of them were also tactful and stepped forward.

“I’ll go too.” Liu Bei also stood out at this moment, he would not be at ease to give his two younger brothers to Zhang Chao.

Seeing Liu Bei volunteering, Zhang Chao also nodded and said, “It’s naturally best if Uncle Liu is willing to go.”

Zhang Chao called out Imperial Uncle Liu, which made Liu Bei’s face happy, as if it was sweeter than eating honey.

Under the gaze of cao cao, zhang chao with six people riding forward, met sun chien seven people in front, plus zhang chao is a total of fourteen people, this horse straight ahead has been set up by the lombardi camp.

Lombardi camp in the tent, Yuan Ben Chu is depressed since drinking the hero drunk.

Originally, when he thought that the other four armies would definitely be unable to hold on, he would come to him for help. That was when he recruited them. But never would they have imagined that they would defeat Dong Qiao’s army, and even slaughter into Chang’an City, rescued the Emperor Xian.

This made lombardi’s wishful thinking completely futile. Depressed, he set up this formation, clearly wanting to block the path of returning to the East.

In fact, before this, counselor Ju Shou suggested sending troops to snatch Emperor Han Xiandi back and forth to Hebei, thus occupying the political initiative.

But falling in to grant the proposal, let lombardi is very difficult, because he and han xian emperor have a misunderstanding, back then he was to support the royal family member liu yu as the emperor, now if the han xian emperor, that is what happened? For a variety of reasons, he did not listen to the suggestion. Instead, he just set up a formation with no intention of advancing or retreating.

Only lombardi in the tent drinking, he is more and more angry, feel that his so-called alliance leader was abandoned, he felt that his face is lost.
