Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 109

Chapter 109 Choose Your Own Path
Naturally, Zhang Chao had his own way of doing business, and his wealth had a great deal to do with it. However, he had to admit that he still cared for the people. At the very least, he did not seem like there were some people who were reluctant to spend their money. Instead, he still wanted to rob the people and become a rich miser.

Suddenly, there were so many people who wanted to follow Zhang Chao to Bing Zhou. Lu Su only felt that the workload began to increase, so he went to the Second Young Master’s Mansion to see Bai Tong and asked for instructions to mobilize more manpower. After all, the original mission was to escort twenty thousand people, but now that there were eighty thousand people, the preparations were naturally different.

Bai Tong also did not expect that the people will be so supportive of the second young master, happy said immediately will contact the country and other people who have been to bing, let them send troops to welcome. After all, with so many civilians following behind, order was a very important matter. If there wasn’t enough military power to protect them, they would likely cause trouble.

Chen Liu was still busy for the migration, zhang chao led two thousand five hundred cavalry to rush back.

As soon as Zhang Chao got home, the first thing he did was to go to the Prefecture Governor’s Mansion. He wanted to see his elder brother, and at the same time, he said that he would abandon Chen Liu and go to Bingzhou City.

During this period of time, Zhang Miao’s body seemed to be a little stronger. At least, there was no problem walking down the field. However, his spirit was still a little weak. He wanted to do some things but was unable to. Only then did Lu Su temporarily take charge of Chen Liu’s affairs.

Brother is back. Zhang Miao is drinking tea in the hall. When he sees his younger brother, Zhang Chao, his face is filled with excitement.

Zhang Chao was also very excited. He came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and was able to rise so quickly because of his brother’s strong support. Immediately, he entered the room and bowed, “Brother, brother is back!”

“Good, good. It’s good to be back.” Zhang Miao hurriedly stepped forward to help, or because he exerted too much force, he coughed several times in succession.

Zhang Chao knew that his elder brother was in poor health, so he took the initiative to stand up and support Zhang Miao and said, “Elder brother, quickly sit down.”

“I’m not in a hurry, but I’m going to go further. This time, the Emperor kissed the Great General and sealed the Bingzhou City Ranch. This is truly giving face to our parents. The ancestors are above us, and they will definitely be very happy to know about this matter.”

“Brother, you are the one who taught us all this. By the way, I came here to discuss with you about going to Bing Zhou.” After Zhang Chao placed Zhang Miao on the wooden chair, he said the purpose of this trip.

“Should I go to Bing Zhou as well?” Zhang Miao asked in astonishment.

“Yes. I apologize for being unfilial. I have already resigned from Chen Liu’s position in front of Cao Cao. You should come with me to Bing Zhou to recuperate.” Zhang Chaocheng said.

This matter, zhang chao was indeed told to cao cao, cao “hide where will not agree, this is the same as giving Chen left hand to himself.

Hearing that the resignation had already happened, a trace of sadness appeared in Zhang Miao’s eyes. However, he revived and said, “Alright, my body is not strong enough. Rather than staying here to worry about Zhiyuan, I might as well follow you to Bingzhou City. However, that place belongs to the border. I heard that Xiongnu and the yellow scarf were there by the remnants of the evil spirits, so be prepared.”

“Yes, what brother said is absolutely correct. I will arrange everything one by one.” Seeing that Zhang Miao had agreed to follow him to Bingzhou City, Zhang Chao heaved a sigh of relief. He had even made up his mind to tie up his eldest brother even if he wanted to. Now, it seemed that Zhang Miao was still a smart person with his own ideas.

After agreeing with his eldest brother, Zhang Chao left the Prefecture Governor’s Manor and returned to the Second Childe Manor.

At the entrance of the mansion, Bai Tong was already looking forward to seeing Zhang Chao riding a white horse and wearing a white cloak from afar, and she had the urge to rush over. However, she knew that there were too many people around, so she forcefully suppressed them.

Zhang Chao went straight to the Second Young Master’s mansion and got off the horse. He really hugged Bai Tong in his arms and said, “I made you worry.”

However, Bai Tong’s face was filled with tears, and she felt that what she had given was worth it.

The two of them hugged each other for a long time, until Bai Tong said embarrassedly, “Alright, let’s go inside. There are a lot of people watching outside.”

Indeed, the two of them weren’t the only ones in front of Second Young Master’s door. On the contrary, they were extremely lively. There were the maids in the Second Young Master’s mansion, Lu Su, Zhang Rui and the others who came to report on their work, and Zhao Yun and the others who had been following Zhang Chao.

“I’m hugging my wife. What are you afraid of?” Zhang Chao said with a natural expression. Naturally, after listening to his advice, he and Bai Tong walked into the main hall of the mansion.

In the main hall, Lu Su, Zhang Rui and the others went forward to greet them, and at the same time, they reported the number of people who were going to Bing Zhou this time.

When Zhang Chao heard that the number of people in the city was 80% of the total, he couldn’t help but be shocked, “So many people?”

“Yes, Master. I haven’t considered this number before.” Lu Su nodded, looking both happy and worried.

“Haha, this is a good thing. Zijing, what are you worried about?” Noticing the change in Lu Su’s expression, Zhang Chao asked curiously.

After being asked by Zhang Chao, Lu Su did not conceal anything. He said, “Lord, with so many people following along, what else do you need to eat for safety and order along the way? Where do you live? You have to be prepared beforehand. This workload is really too much.”

Hearing that he was originally worried about something like this, Zhang Chao immediately laughed and said, “Zijing, what’s there to worry about? Our Zhang Clan’s cavalry will naturally guarantee the safety. As for what the people eat, it’s much simpler and self-sufficient!”

“Self-sufficiency?” Hearing this, Lu Su was stunned. Obviously, he did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

Seeing that Lu Su was a little puzzled, Bai Tong and the others at the side seemed to be puzzled as well. Zhang Chao explained, “It is to bring their own dry rations. That is to say, from Chen Liu to his destination, all the food and drinks in Taiyuan, Bingzhou City, must be prepared by themselves. After everything arrives, they will be distributed uniformly by the government.”

After hearing Zhang Chao’s explanation, Lu Su’s expression became somewhat ugly. “What? Does Zijing have any questions?”

“Lord, if that’s the case, I’m afraid many civilians won’t follow.” Lu Su said the worry in his heart.

“If there are people who do not follow, it is that they have no sincerity. You have to remember that a person’s lifelong backer falls, relying on water and water to dry, more rely on their own. If we do not give, there will be no return. Let me ask, we are not even willing to give this little bit. Could it be that we are pointing at what kind of wealth they will create for us after they arrive in Bingzhou City? Zhang Chao waved his hand and settled the matter. “Alright, the matter is settled like this. You can issue a notice to announce it.”

Zhang Chao was not the savior, so it was impossible for him to arrange everything so that everyone could pick it up. If you want to live a better life, you have to pay first. You have to learn how to choose first. You have to learn how to choose. As long as you make yourself right, you will be free to choose the opportunity.

Looking at Zhang Chao’s decision, although Lu Su still had doubts, he could only agree.

After Lu Su’s report was over, Zhang Rui’s report followed. According to what he said, during this period of time, he had recruited quite a few youths to join the Zhangjiajun. Now, the number of Zhangjiajun in the city had already reached a thousand people.

“Very good, Zhang Rui. You’ve worked hard.” Zhang Chao first affirmed what Zhang Rui had done, then said, “Remember, in the future, the conditions of Zhangjiajun’s army selection will change.” If not, they would be directly elected by the people. Zhangjiajun was the most elite army, with the strongest combat strength and the best weapons. “Then each of them should be a warrior of a hundred battles. In the future, let the other armies choose outstanding soldiers to replenish the Zhangjiajun.”

As for the existence of the Zhangjiajun, Zhang Chao already had a certain position in his heart. That was the strongest existence, and there was no such thing.

In other words, the appearance of Zhangjiajun had to be victorious. Only by constantly creating such achievements could the enemy be frightened, everyone be afraid of Zhangjiajun, and create even greater glory.

Moreover, as Zhang Chao’s reputation continued to expand, Presumably, more and more people would pay attention to him. At that time, no matter what kind of detailed work was done, no matter what other factions’ intelligence personnel would appear one after another. After going through a period of enlistment, they would be selected on the basis of merit. This was a safer way to ensure that Zhang Jiajun would not have any problems.

Zhang Rui had never said no to Zhang Chao’s words. Now that he heard this, he also said, “Yes.”

After the two important things were said, Zhang Chao raised his eyes and looked at everyone in the room. “In order to prevent things from changing, I have decided to set off in three days. Although the time is tight, fortunately, this work was done before I left. I’m sure I wouldn’t be caught off guard.”

“No problem.” Bai Tong represented everyone to express their stance first.

In fact, regarding the Zhang Clan Restaurant, the Zhang Clan Weapon Shop, and even the poppies that Zhang Chao had planted, she was ready to set off and pull them out at any time.

“No problem.” The second person to agree was Zhang Rui. Thousands of Zhang Jiajun, according to normal Zhang Chao’s request, only needed half an hour to complete the preparation, three days was too long.

“I don’t have any problems here, but I just don’t know how many people can walk.” The last person to speak was Lu Su. He was indeed caught off guard by Zhang Chao’s point of self-sufficiency. He really didn’t know how many people would agree to follow this decision when it was announced.

“It doesn’t matter. The waves are sweeping through the sand, leaving behind only sand. The one who can follow us is the gold. There’s no pity.” On the other hand, Zhang Chao seemed to want to open it.

Zhang Chao naturally also hoped that the more people he could follow, the better. However, there were some things that he did not wish for. When he went to Bingzhou City, what he needed were capable people, people who could create a good life with their own hands, not people who were delicious and lazy and only wanted to rely on him. There were many of these people, but sometimes they would be a burden.
