Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 169

Chapter 169 I Am Zhang Chao
Zhou Cang was delighted to hear that Zhang Chao had come to persuade the two of them. A feeling told him that this person’s words were quite to his liking.

Just trying to persuade him wasn’t just based on what he said. Zhou Cang looked at Zhang Chao and said, “If you want to convince us brothers, I wonder if you have any sincerity?”

“Sincere? Haha.” Hearing these two words, Zhang Chao couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “I wonder what Brother Zhou and Brother Pei think is sincerity?”

‘”Well…” Zhou Cang glanced at Pei Yuanshao beside him and said, “Then you have to prove it yourself.”

“Prove it yourself.” At this moment, Zhang Chao frowned. If the other party was willing to make a request, it would be a good thing. At least he could consider whether he could satisfy them. However, if he only wanted to say it himself, it would be really hard to say.

Fortunately, Zhang Chao was also the overlord of one side, and he was also a duke-type character. In his own territory, he could say everything, and he didn’t even need to discuss with anyone on some matters. With full authority, he thought for a moment and said, “Well, I’ll grant you two official positions now.” Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were promoted to the position of Legion Commander, but they could each lead two thousand men first, and then they could be promoted again according to their contributions. At the same time, you can also choose some confidants to join your army for important positions? If any of his subordinates wanted to become ordinary people, they could enjoy the treatment of dividing their fields and houses, so how about letting them live a happy life in the future? ”

To become a commander of a legion, one had to go through the test of blood and fire. Only those with outstanding performances could be competent. Fortunately, Zhang Chao had long heard of the names of these two people and knew that these two were also members of the Tiger General, so he was qualified to be such a Guild Leader. Of course, this kind of thing is zhang chao can a language, if it was another person, even the chief strategist country, need to report first, by the core of the relevant departments of its martial courage and loyalty to zhang chao himself set.

Zhang Chao used his privileges to directly give the two of them an official position. Then, he looked over and waited for an answer.

The reason why Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao didn’t make any requests was because they didn’t know what to say, so they allowed Zhang Chao to speak. However, he never expected that he would be given the position of Guild Leader on the spot. However, when they heard that they could only command two thousand people, they still burst into laughter.

With their abilities, they were famous figures in the Montenegrin army. Even though they were suspected and could not be reused, there were still 5,000 men who could be used by each of their subordinates. The current commander of 5,000 people didn’t do it and instead went to be a general with 2,000 people. No matter how it looked, he seemed to have lost his power.

The two laughed heartily, and Pei Yuanshao said, “Mr. Guo, do you know how many troops we have now?”

“I know that because of your suspicions, your power is much weaker than before. It’s just that each of you commands 5,000 troops.” Zhang Chao told the information he had heard from Guo Jia.

“Oh, even if you know that we can command 5,000 people, why did you propose to let us be the Guild Leader? Don’t tell me you look down on us brothers?” As he spoke, Pei Yuanshao stood up and glared at Zhang Chao, as if he would make a move if he didn’t agree with a single word.

Pei Yuanshao’s actions caused Xu Chu and Taishi Ci to clench their fists tightly, making preparations to attack at any moment.

On the other hand, Zhang Chao stretched out his hands and made a conciliatory gesture behind him. At this moment, it was absolutely not easy to make a move. Once he made a move, all his previous efforts would be in vain. Not only would he not be able to surrender these two generals, he would also waste more energy and time to eradicate Heishan Army.

Zhang Chao raised his hand to signal, xu chu and tardif quiet down again. Afterwards, Zhang Chao looked at Pei Yuanshao and said, “Brother Pei, let me ask you, if the five thousand Montenegrin army were to fight against the two thousand first legion soldiers, would you be confident of winning?”

“Ah! This … depends on the situation.” Pei Yuanshao was instantly discouraged by this question.

“Haha, it doesn’t depend on the situation, but it will undoubtedly be defeated. Even so, do you think it is the prestige of the generals leading 5,000 Heishan Army, or the prestige of the soldiers of the two armies and one legion?” Zhang Chao asked with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, Pei Yuanshao immediately fell silent.

However, Zhang Chao continued to talk about the matter, “The two of you know that in a legion, being able to become higher than the Guild Legion Commander, that is, a division commander, the entire general’s subordinates are only five people.” They were Lyu bu, Zhaoyun, Taishi Ci, Huang Zhonghuan and Zhang Liao. I believe you are no strangers to these five people. Then may I ask, compared to the five of you, what do you think of yourself? Do you think that becoming the previous Guild Leader would injure you? ”

“Also, do you know how much it costs to become a company commander in a legion, which is what you call a centurion? At least three military merits. To become a battalion commander, that is, a commander of five hundred people, one would need to perform five or more ordinary military merits. To become a Guild Leader, the requirements were even more stringent, requiring one or more major military contributions and five or more ordinary military contributions before one could become a Guild Leader. At the same time, we need to investigate whether he is brave or not and his loyalty to the Great General, and then report to the Shepherd’s Manor for a final decision. ”

“The procedure is so complicated and demanding, but the two of you haven’t done anything yet. What’s there to be dissatisfied with becoming a Guild Leader?” The harsher Zhang Chao’s tone became, the harsher he became. At the end of his sentence, he was already questioning.

Being questioned by Zhang Chao, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao’s faces were extremely ugly.

They were not clear about the promotion process of the 1st legion. Just now, they had only heard that there were only two thousand troops and they were feeling a little uneasy in their hearts. Now that he heard Zhang Chao’s explanation, he knew that as a Guild Leader, his position was not low.

As a reckless person, most of them had a straightforward temperament, and they usually valued emotion and righteousness. Now that the conditions offered by the other party were not low, the two of them really didn’t know what to say.

Pei Yuanshao was asked speechless. Zhou Cang, on the other hand, had some ideas in his heart. After listening to Zhang Chao’s words, he seemed to have caught the other party’s sick words and said, “Wait, according to what Mr. Guo said, the Great General knew about us and investigated us. Only then did he allow us to be the leaders of the two brothers?”

“Yes, I know about you. I just haven’t conducted any investigations.” Zhang Chao replied honestly.

“Oh? No investigation?” Hearing this answer, Zhou Cang became happy. “Mr. Guo, just now is what you said, but anyone who is promoted to captain, is required to perform a major military service, five ordinary military service, after investigation can be reported to the Shepherd’s Manor, the final general ruling. Even so, you said that you did not investigate and that you have indeed accepted our position as the Guild Leader. Isn’t your words inconsistent? Could it be that you can become the head of the Great General? ”

Zhou Cang asked, and Pei Yuanshao said, “That’s right, if Mr. Guo is only deceiving us now, and when he really enters Jin Yang City, he will lose face and refuse to admit what he said just now, where are we going to reason with him?”

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao admitted to find the country’s sick language, but they don’t know what is facing now is not the chief strategist, but general zhang chao himself.

This question, perhaps really asked the country, he also didn’t dare to put down mad language. After all, Zhang Chao always made the final decision on the position of Guild Leader. In fact, he didn’t have the right to make the final decision. However, when asked about Zhang Chao himself, all of this was nothing.

Seeing that the two of them actually wanted to embarrass themselves on this issue, Zhang Chao immediately smiled and said, “Oh? Are you saying that you don’t trust me? Are you saying that you don’t believe what I say counts?”

“Feiye. It’s just that the future of us brothers is at stake. There are some ugly things that need to be said first.” Zhou Cang denied it, but the voice in his words had clearly expressed his meaning.

Originally, Zhang Chao did not intend to reveal his identity immediately. After all, the identity of the Great General was too sensitive. It was no exaggeration to say that as a core figure, nothing could happen. To be able to come to the Montenegrin army was already an extremely risky action. If one were to expose one’s identity, it would be equivalent to putting one’s life at risk.

However, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao had already provoked their conversation to this point. Without a reasonable explanation, they would not be able to talk about the following matters. That would be equivalent to failing in their persuasion this time. This was something that Zhang Chao could not allow.

Dealing with Heishan Army was the main task that Zhang Chao had set for him this year. Seeing that the dukes were laying the foundation for their own careers, even their main opponents, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, had already begun to snatch up territory. If he could not even solve the internal problems now, he would be left behind. It was not impossible for the first echelon of the dukes to become the second echelon.

If he wanted to have an advantage all the time, he would need to conquer the enemy step by step. Solving the problem of the Montenegrin army became an urgent matter.

Zhang Chao, who could no longer hesitate or persuade the two of them to fail, weighed the pros and cons of exposing his identity in his heart. His lips gently opened and said, “What I said is reasonable, no one can change it. Everything is decided by the position of Guild Leader.”

“Haha, hahaha.” Zhang Chao’s reply caused Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to burst into laughter.

“I say, Old Zhou, this Mr. Guo is really interesting. He can’t answer our questions anymore, so he started to play hard-nosed like that cooked duck.” Pei Yuanshao laughed heartily.
