Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 170
Chapter 170 Take the Initiative to Stay
“That’s right.” Although Zhou Cang did not laugh as loudly as Pei Yuanshao, the disbelief in his eyes was obvious. Evidently, they have such ability for country has produced a deep doubt, even they think that this person is just a casual, in order to deceive them for its effectiveness, and as for the next thing, even if the grinding and killing of donkeys happened is not impossible.
Seeing that the suspicions of the two were even heavier, Zhang Chao knew that he had to expose his identity now. Otherwise, everything would be in vain. For this reason, he straightened his chest and said, “The only person who can determine your official position is the Great General himself. And yet, I am still so confident that I can say these words. Do you still need to clarify my identity?”
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, who were laughing loudly, wanted to see how Zhang Chao would answer their questions. Even the two of them had already thought about it. If they were only here to deceive themselves, then they would kill the three of them now. In this way, they would give Zhang Chao a head-on blow and prove that they had nothing to do with the 1st legion. They would regain Zhang Yan’s trust.
But now, the words of the young master in front of them could be considered as a shock to the two of them.
Although his words weren’t too clear, Zhang Chao’s identity seemed to have opened his mouth.
“You … you’re a general?” Zhou Cang blurted out after reacting.
“If it’s a fake one, then it’ll be fine.” At this moment, Zhang Chao had his hands behind his back, and he looked arrogant and arrogant.
“Are you really General Zhang Chao?” Pei Yuanshao, who was at the side, asked after he reacted. He could even hear the obvious breathing sound from his breath. Obviously, he was a little excited at this moment.
“Naturally, I am Zhang Chao, the Great General personally worshipped by Emperor Han Xiandi, and personally conferred the title of Bing Zhou Mu.” Since he had already revealed his identity, he could no longer hesitate at this moment. Once he showed his fear, it would only make things worse.
Hearing that Zhang Chao had admitted his identity, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao looked at each other in shock. Obviously, they were both considering the authenticity of this matter.
“Didn’t you say that you are Guo Jia? Then as a general, why didn’t you dare to admit your identity?” After Zhou Cang saw that Pei Yuanshao was as shocked as himself, he looked at Zhang Chao and asked. At this moment, it was obviously unrealistic to point out something that his good friend had said. Even so, it was up to him to greet him. At the very least, he had to know the other party’s true identity first.
“When did I say that I am country, everything is you are talking about.” Zhang Chao said with a tone of denial.
Hearing this, Zhou Cang was also stunned. Thinking about it, it seems like from beginning to end, are only said to be country, zhang chao did not admit it.
Just as Zhou Cang was stunned and Pei Yuanshao had a surprised expression on his face, Xu Chu, who was standing opposite them, suddenly said, “Why haven’t you knelt down to worship the Great General? Do you know that the Great General has the right to restrain the nation’s troops? Could it be that you don’t recognize yourselves as citizens of China?”
Xu chu this reprimand, really played a role. Pei Yuanshao first knelt on the ground with a thud, then Zhou Cang was infected by it, and his knees also came into contact with the ground.
The two of them knelt down in front of him like this. Zhang Chao knew that his identity had played a great role. He walked forward with joy and reached out to grab their arms, pulling them up from the ground. “Although I’m a general, there’s no need for such a big gift. I’m optimistic about your straightforward personality. In the future, everyone will be brothers. This kind of gift saves energy.”
Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao felt much better when they heard the words “brothers”.
Zhang Yan also regarded them as brothers, but because they weren’t confidants, she was guarding against them. As a general of the Imperial Court, in order to convince the two of them, Zhang Chao had actually entered the Tiger Mountain by himself. However, based on this point, there was an answer as to who was stronger and who was worse.
“Great General, it’s rare for you to think highly of us brothers, that’s all. If you need anything, just say it.” Zhou Cang knew that even Zhang Chao had come, so there was nothing he could do to persuade them. Even if he killed Zhang Chao on impulse, he wouldn’t get any good results. The people of the 1st legion would definitely not spare him, and at that time, pointing at Zhang Yan to stand up for him was absolutely impossible.
In other words, the situation had already reached the point where a decision had to be made. Following Zhang Chao, no matter what kind of future prospects he had, at least his life was saved. If he didn’t comply, no matter what he did, he would definitely offend people to death, and that would be the end of the road.
Knowing the result of the incident, coupled with his wholehearted kindness, Zhou Cang, who did not want to be a bandit, showed his submission.
Beside him, Pei Yuanshao had always followed Zhou Cang’s lead in doing things, so how could he not agree? He hurriedly nodded his head to express his feelings. Actually, he had already fainted and was shocked by Zhang Chao’s exposure.
Perhaps others wouldn’t feel how terrifying Zhang Chao was. However, as the Montenegrin army, Zhang Chao’s name was not exaggerated in the slightest.
First, Chao Ge won the battle, killing Yang Feng and Li Damu. Following that, the Montenegrin army’s strength began to be compressed, and its range of activities began to be suppressed. In the past, they had dared to act during the day and go to various prefectures and counties of Bing Prefecture to find trouble, but now, they could only use the darkness to snatch them away.
Afterwards, the siege of Jinyang City happened again. Originally, they were the ones who took the initiative to attack. They had indeed lost generals. Not to mention Bai Luan and Sui Gu, they had lost a total of 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers, causing the strength of the entire Montenegro Army to drop significantly.
All of this was done by Zhang Chao. In the army of Montenegro, everyone had already imagined this person to be a murderous devil, a terrifying beast.
Under all kinds of legends, Zhang Chao’s reputation was enough to intimidate some timid people. But now, he was actually standing right in front of him. Even though Pei Yuanshao thought that he was courageous, he was still shocked and frightened. He was completely unprepared, and now he seemed to have become a puppet. He had to do whatever Zhang Chao said.
After being helped up by Zhang Chao, the shock on Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao’s faces did not fade. At this moment, the Great General spoke up again, “I had long since heard of the two heroes’ names. Under the heart of cherishing talent, I only dared to bring two generals here. Presumably, my sincerity has already been revealed without a doubt. Even so, why don’t you all believe me?”
What Zhang Chao said was right, daring to bring only two people to appear in Heishan Army’s army, just this courage was enough to explain everything. If he didn’t really want to surrender, then he could just casually send someone over. Why would he risk his life?
“Yes, yes. The courage and courage of the Great General is inferior to ours.” Zhou Cang finally lowered his arrogant head. Even if Zhang Chao dared to take risks alone and valued the two brothers so much, they would have to prove that your general was not mistaken.
Zhang Chao’s appearance here was truly beyond Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao’s expectations. This action also moved them. They were already satisfied with the idea of abandoning the secret, so they no longer suspected that the general wanted to reuse them. The surrender of the two of them would play an extremely important role in resolving Heishan Army’s problems.
In the next two hours, Zhang Chao stayed in the cave. As for what he talked to Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao about, no one knew. However, someone saw that two hours later, Taishi Ci left this place alone.
Under the escort of Zhou Cang’s trusted aides, Taishi Ci safely walked out of the mountains and arrived in front of Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, and the others who were waiting for news.
From afar, only see tardif a person walked out, and did not see zhang chao figure, country and zhaoyun are a cold face, and then a bad feeling attacked the heart.
After tardif arrived in front of everyone, country first said: “son righteousness, master?”
“Lord… Lord was left with Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao.” Taishi Ci had a helpless expression on his face. He never thought that Zhang Chao would choose to stay. Although he had said a lot and made a lot of efforts, there was still no way he could change his mind.
“What? He was left behind.” When Zhao Yun heard this, his eyes widened. At this moment, it was as if his eyes could squeeze out blood. “What a bold Heishan Army, he actually dared to detain Lord. Where is the Zhangjiajun heavy cavalry? Follow me into the mountain.”
Zhao Yun as zhang chao’s first subdued general, is deeply reused and trust.
The relationship between the two of them had already surpassed that of ordinary lords and ministers. Now that Zhang Chao was in trouble, how could he be willing to rest? Even if he had to lead troops into the dense forest.
“Slow down, General Zhao, wait a moment. Allow me to say it.” Seeing that Zhao Yun was about to charge, Taishi Ci hurriedly stopped him, then looked at Guo Jia and said, “Military Counselor, Lord has convinced Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao. In order to make them do things sincerely, he took the initiative to stay.” “At the same time, let me bring a message to Military Counselor. My safety is in your hands. If you want me to return safely, then quickly formulate a comprehensive plan.”
Tardif hand strangled zhaoyun horse reins, mouth learn zhang chao said to country.
“Wait a moment, General Zhao.” Country seems to be some understand. Even if Zhang Chao was not forced to stay, but took the initiative to stay, then now should be safe, on the contrary, such a sudden kill up the mountain, may cause a series of bad things to happen, also completely destroy the master’s plan.
Has been prepared for a desperate battle, start killing zhaoyun, was stopped by country these words, and then looked at tardif said: “son brother, please say everything.”
“Alright.” Taishi Ci didn’t dare to neglect, so he told Zhang Chao everything that had happened when he entered the cave in detail.
Country and zhaoyun are seriously listening, wait to hear tardif will finish, the latter will look at the former.
