Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 19
Chapter 19 Win The First Battle
Bu Ji, who was originally grabbing the reins of the warhorse, felt his left hand go numb. With a light gesture, he loosened the rope and fell down from his horse.
If there was no stirrup, it would have its own benefits. At the very least, this fall was extremely pleasant. There was no need to worry about being carried away by the horse, so he fell straight down.
Seeing Bu Ji fall to the ground, Zhang Rui’s eyes lit up. Then, he stepped forward and wanted to personally cut off Bu Ji’s head to claim credit in front of Second Childe.
The warhorse quickly arrived in front of Bu Ji, who was lying on the ground. Zhang Rui swung his saber and wanted to cut off his head. However, just as he swung the saber in his hand, revealing the empty door, Bu Ji, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. Then, the saber in his hand slashed towards Zhang Rui and drew a bloody mark on his left leg.
Bu Ji’s sudden counterattack was somewhat beyond Zhang Rui’s expectations. Fortunately, Zhang Rui’s arm had been shot just now, and he was unable to use his full strength. He had only scratched his skin and flesh, not his muscles and bones. Otherwise, Zhang Rui would have been a cripple for the rest of his life.
Zhang Rui felt a pain in his leg and became even angrier. The long saber in his hand descended from the sky, and a good head immediately flew up and rolled onto the ground beside him.
When the cavalry appeared bravely, the Yellow Scarf Army was doomed to lose. After about three to four hundred people were killed and injured, the other Yellow Scarf Army members dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.
Speaking of which, these were just some refugees who wanted to eat for a living. It was the Yellow Scarf Army that their hometown’s land was occupied first, and then helplessly thrown down.
Looking at these yellow turban soldiers who were originally peasants and hadn’t received a day of formal training, and hadn’t come to cause any harm to society, Zhang Chao waved his hand and shouted, “Stop!”
Following Zhang Chao’s shout, the eight hundred cavalry immediately stopped. Whether it was wielding knives or archers, at this moment, they were sitting on horseback and straightening their bodies.
‘”Everyone, stop. These people are just ordinary people. They were bewitched by Zhang Jiao and the others. Now that they are willing to surrender, they should drop their weapons and return to being ordinary people.” Although Zhang Chao was used to killing people and seeing life and death, he still couldn’t bear the people who couldn’t be his opponent.
As soon as Zhang Chao finished speaking, the eight hundred cavalry put away their weapons and stepped back, leaving enough room for the yellow scarf army to kneel and beg for mercy.
The Yellow Scarf Army surrendered out of habit, but they didn’t dare to ask for it in their hearts. They knew that their actions were tantamount to rebellion. However, Zhang Chao really wanted to let them go. For a moment, these people were dumbfounded and couldn’t believe it.
Only when the courageous one took off the yellow scarf on his head and threw it away did the rest of the yellow scarf army scatter and run away.
Apart from the dead, even the injured Yellow Scarf Army were escaped with the help of their peers, and the battlefield became very clean.
Zhang Chao looked at the overall situation, then laughed and got off the horse, and then walked in front of Zhao Yun.
“I am Chen Liuzhang Chao, Zhang Zhiyuan. I am fortunate to meet the general today. I feel very fated. If possible, please enter the city for a glass of wine to express my gratitude.” Zhang Chao also didn’t come up, so I admire you very much. Actually, you are also very powerful, so why don’t we work together?
In history, Zhao Yun is also a knowledgeable person, he is not that kind of foolish loyalty, but not the name of the master did not vote. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left Gongsun Zan’s hands.
Facing such a hero, what Zhang Chao needed was time to move his opponent, and the first impression was especially important.
‘”So it’s Brother Zhang. I’m sorry. I’m just not a general. I’ve seen too many things about the Yellow Scarf Army disrupting the city along the way. I just want to do something on my own.” Zhao Yun said modestly.
“Oh, I see. That’s even more respectable. If everyone were to worry about the country and the people like Zilong, the world would be peaceful.” To flatter someone, Zhang Chao opened his mouth. In the past, when he was being bullied by those big powers in the Golden Triangle, he did a lot of work like this. How should I put it? This should be part of his true colors.
“I don’t dare to say that I’m worried about the country and the people. I’m just doing my part.” Zhao Yun’s face turned red. He was really embarrassed by Zhang Chao’s praise.
“Haha, it’s the same. This way, no matter what, Zilong has helped Chen Liucheng. Please come into the city for a glass of water and wine, so that we can do our best as landlords.” As he spoke, Zhang Chao did not wait for Zhao Yun to say anything before he walked forward and held the horse rope in his hand.
“Second Childe.” Seeing that Zhang Chao actually wanted to personally lead the horse for others. The eight hundred cavalry shouted in unison.
There were so many people who made a neat sound at this moment. Needless to say, that sound was extremely frightening. Even Zhao Zilong, who was praised as a brave person, was shocked. He then turned around and dismounted, saying, “No, Second Childe must not do this. I am just an ordinary citizen.”
“Ah, even if you can kill a thief, you are a hero. Those are all people that I, Zhang Chao, respect. Leading a horse for you is nothing.” Zhang Chao shook his head and chuckled, as if he didn’t care.
Seeing that Zhang Chao was indeed sincere, rather than pretentious, Zhao Yun, who valued affection and righteousness for a moment, was somewhat touched. “Good, that is to say, Second Young Master invited him warmly. I will go into the city with you, but there is no need to lead a horse like this.”
Knowing that Zhao Yun had said so, he would definitely not leave. If he forcefully pulled the horse, it would only embarrass everyone. Zhang Chao smiled heartily and said, “Alright, that’s it. Let’s go into the city together.”
Someone had already brought the horse over, led zhang chao up, and then zhaoyun, country three people head to Chen Liucheng behind.
“Zilong, let me introduce you to someone. This is Guo Fengxiao of Guo Jia. This person is resourceful and has a thousand brilliant ideas. An Bang is good at governing the country.” Zhang Chao seized the opportunity to introduce, and ruthlessly flatter the country.
Country is so said, also some embarrassment, hurriedly said: “master this is praise, but the son dragon general, marksmanship is skilled, presumably from the hands of a master teacher.”
“Sir, you’re too polite. My master is Tong Yuan, and his learning skills are not good. It’s ridiculous.” Zhao Yun immediately introduced politely.
For Tong Yuan, country is not know, after all, he is still young, there are many things have not seen and heard, after listening to just hehe a little, nodded gently.
Zhang Chao did not know about this person. He was not a historian of the Three Kingdoms. He knew some things that everyone knew, but it was not good for some secrets. Just as he was thinking about how to praise him, Zhang Rui rode a horse from afar and helped him out.
“Second Young Master, I have already beheaded the thief. Please take a look.” Zhang Rui came up to Zhang Chao with Bu Ji’s head.
“Yes, I saw it. You did a good job.” Zhang Chao nodded with a smile on his face, and then asked with concern, “How is it? Is your leg seriously injured?”
When asked about his leg injury, Zhang Rui’s face turned red. The first time he went on a mission, he died. It was indeed a bit embarrassing. However, when Second Childe asked, he hurriedly replied, “It’s fine. It’s just a superficial injury.”
“It’s good that you’re fine. I’ll look for Hua Tuo to show you later.” Zhang Chao nodded and his expression gradually became serious.
Zhang Rui didn’t know why Second Young Master’s expression suddenly changed. He stood on his horse without even daring to breathe.
The Zhang Clan cavalry who were cleaning the battlefield also felt the seriousness of the atmosphere. For a moment, everyone stopped their work and focused their gazes on where Zhang Chao was.
“Brothers, war is not a joke, it is a life-and-death battle, a careless, may lead to serious consequences, and even leave their lives here. You are all pillars of the Zhang Clan Army. In the future, you will follow me in making contributions. You will marry and have children and establish your own happy families. You will even become the pride of your descendants and become the most important figures in the clan’s genealogy. ”
Zhang Chao said loudly. As he spoke these words, the Zhang Clan cavalry were all extremely excited, their eyes filled with yearning. It was as if they had already seen their brilliant future and life.
At this point, Zhang Chao’s voice suddenly changed and he said in a low voice, “If you want to turn this into reality, you all need to be alive. Once your life is gone, everything will be impossible to achieve.” This requires you to be careful in your work. Just now, Captain Zhang Rui was able to shoot an arrow to find out the truth. However, he did not. He chose to directly step forward because of his eagerness to contribute. In the end, he was struck by a saber strike. This was a mistake. This time, he was lucky and escaped a calamity, but would he have such good luck next time? If they didn’t want such a problem to appear, they would need to be more careful on the battlefield in the future. This way, after returning, Captain Zhang Rui will conduct a review in front of everyone. After that, everyone will discuss this matter fully. Think about what you will do if you encounter such a thing in the future. You guys can take a look. ”
Zhang Chao was actually soliciting opinions from everyone, which made the Zhangjiajun feel that they were deeply valued, and they immediately agreed in unison.
‘”Alright, that’s it. It’s settled. But before we go back, I still have one more thing to announce. This time, Zhang Rui has contributed to the killing of the enemy’s leader. He will be rewarded with 5,000 silver taels, which will be used to start a family in the future.” That was to say, he had slapped her, and that sweet date was something that he had to give her.
Zhang Chao casually touched the candy in one hand and the stick in the other.
