Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 198

Chapter 198 Earn City Gate

However, he had to blame him for leaving the two Tiger Generals behind instead of sending out a Military Advisor Formation, which was why today’s scene happened.

Hearing that they were guilty, Lyu bu and Dian Wei lowered their heads even lower, not even daring to breathe any longer.

‘”Alright, if you know that you are guilty, then I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. Now, you two will bring your own soldiers and General Huang Zhong’s men to attack Tokto. Remember, no matter what, you must capture Tokto. Then I will bring reinforcements to arrive.” Zhang Chao looked at the two of them and saw an opportunity in front of him. Whether or not he could seize it depended on your appearance.

“Yes.” Lyu bu and Dian Wei were still afraid that they would not have a chance. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, they would still fight with all their might.

Immediately, Huang Zhong’s nearly five thousand cavalry were added to the vanguard army. Dian Wei also people three thousand horses, together with three thousand cavalry plus four thousand infantry and lyu3 bu4 out of Yin Guan city, straight in the direction of Tokto.

Ten thousand cavalry, four thousand infantry left, zhang chao subordinates can only use one thousand people guarding hou cheng and three thousand zhang army cavalry.

“Huang Zhong, xu chu, hou cheng, immediately screen the two thousand prisoners, found innocent people, willing to surrender is used, guilty people, unwilling to surrender to kill.” Zhang Chao wanted to send these xiongnu soldiers back to jinyang city, for lu su distribution, but he knew that it was unrealistic, not to mention that he did not have the strength to guard so many people, just said that the journey took too much time, he could not wait. Rather than sending it back, it would be better to use it on the spot, so that there might be a chance of a battle with Yu Fuluo.

…

In a day’s time, Ada brought five thousand xiongnu cavalry back to tokto, saw khan in fro.

After Frost knew that Ada had been defeated, he immediately became furious and ordered him to be locked up.

As soon as Ada was imprisoned, a man named Cheng Ran, a brother-in-law of Yu Fu Luo, gained momentum.

Cheng Ran was originally a Han Chinese, and he was also a pawn leader under Zhang Quan. Because one of his younger sisters was born very beautiful, and was finally favored by Fu Luo, he himself was able to gain the upper hand. Even after Zhang Quan was killed, he was fine. He even went to Fu Luo’s side and became a young general who commanded two thousand cavalry.

Actually, Cheng Ran was still very ambitious. He also wanted to be his brother-in-law, Yu Fuluo, even if he was a general who could lead ten thousand troops. However, because of Ada and Attila’s existence, he had been suppressed from ascending. The two of them even looked down on the Han people, believing that the Han people had no backbone and could go back on their word at any time.

These words also made Yu Fu Luo unable to truly trust him, which made him extremely distressed for a time.

This time, Ada made Frost angry, and Attila didn’t know whether to live or die, so Cheng Ran felt that this was an opportunity. This took the initiative to give loyalty in front of Fu Luo, to the effect that they still have thirty thousand cavalry in hand, but according to Tokto’s land to defend first, looking for an opportunity to deal with zhang chao.

Frost was very happy to hear that Cheng Ran still had such confidence. He thought to himself that if he really underestimated this brother-in-law, he would still be so confident at this moment, and with this point, his loyalty was commendable. With this joy, he gave the five thousand men of Ada’s troops to Cheng Ran, and also arranged for him to be responsible for the defense and supervision of the four cities.

Suddenly, from a young general of 2,000 to a general of 7,000, Cheng Ran felt as if he was floating up because he had the responsibility to supervise the four cities.

After returning to the mansion, he snorted a tune, his face filled with excitement and joy.

When Cheng Ran was happy, the butler came to report that the businessman named Zhang Cheng had come to congratulate his lord on his promotion.

Hearing that it was Zhang Cheng, Cheng Ran became even happier. This person was also a businessman he had been sturdy in Yanmen Prefecture. This person was generous and had given him quite a bit of money. Of course, he also gave him some proper care.

Afterwards, Yin Guan City was occupied by Zhang Chao. This Zhang Cheng had reached the point where Tokto started to do business, and his relationship with Cheng Ran became even closer. Now that this person had heard of his promotion, he was extremely excited. This should be the benefit of power.

“Haha, Zhang Cheng is here. Please come in.” Cheng Ran laughed loudly.

The butler accepted the order and in a short while, Zhang Cheng, dressed in brocade and silk, brought two people into the main hall with a box of things and appeared in front of Cheng Ran.

Upon seeing Cheng Ran, Zhang Cheng immediately cupped his hands and said, “Congratulations to General on his promotion. I wish him a bright future.”

“Haha, Brother Zhang, we are old acquaintances. There’s no need to be so polite.” Hearing that, Cheng Ran laughed heartily and narrowed his eyes.

Seeing that Cheng Ran was so happy, Zhang Cheng also knew, “General, I’m here to give you a treasure this time. Previously, my subordinates had obtained a new item. It was an animal, but they were indeed able to speak human words. I think it’s really rare, so I hurriedly sent it over. Please accept it with a smile.”

Hearing that there were animals that could speak, Cheng Ran became curious, “Is there really such a thing in this world?”

“Yes, yes. He’s still full of auspicious words.” Zhang Cheng anxiously nodded his head, his expression very confident.

“Oh, then it’s better to take a look. Someone, open the box.” Cheng Ran temporarily believed Zhang Cheng and said to the left and right QinBing.

QinBing was about to go forward and open the box, but Zhang Cheng did stop him and said, “General, this thing is good, but it is a bit timid. If too many strangers come near, I’m afraid they will be scared. Doesn’t it make me cheat the general if I don’t dare to say anything like that?”

“Hmm? Then what should we do?” Cheng Ran asked with a puzzled expression.

“It’s very simple. I just need the general to take a look. When I get familiar with it, it won’t be too late to show it to the public.” Zhang Cheng took the initiative to come up with an idea.

“That makes sense. In that case, this general should contact him first.” Cheng Ran nodded to show that it made sense. This made it easier for him to get up from the first seat and head towards the wooden box.

Zhang Cheng looked at Cheng Ran and tactfully took a few steps back. He kept enough distance from him to tell him that he didn’t have any ill intentions.

Cheng Ran had always been vigilant towards Zhang Cheng. It was like every time he entered the manor to give a gift, he would have to search his body first to make sure that he didn’t have any lethal weapons on him before they could meet.

Because he was careful, Cheng Ran didn’t have any intentions of being on guard against Zhang Cheng. There were two of his QinBing in this room. They were both armed. It was impossible for them to do anything to Zhang Cheng and the two people who carried the chest without weapons.

He strode forward and arrived before the wooden box. Under Zhang Cheng’s expectation, he opened the lid of the wooden box.

When the lid was opened, a black object immediately jumped out and a shining scimitar was placed on Cheng Ran’s neck.

“Ah!” Suddenly, a long saber was placed on his neck. Cheng Ran had a frightened expression on his face. Then, he looked at Zhang Chengbu and said, “Brother Zhang, what do you mean?”

“What do you mean?” At this moment, Zhang Cheng revealed a creepy smile, “Why did you say that?”

“Aiya, Brother Zhang, I’ve treated you well. If you have anything to say, just say it. There’s no need for that, right?” Cheng Ran forced out a smile and said.

While the two of them were talking, the two QinBing of Cheng Ran were about to slowly walk forward with their sabers in hand. After Zhang Cheng noticed this, he pointed his finger and said, “Tell them to retreat. Otherwise, I will immediately have my subordinates kill you.”

“Ah, retreat. Stand still.” Cheng Ran, who was afraid of death, hurriedly ordered his QinBing. After seeing that they did not move, he continued to say to Zhang Cheng, “Brother Zhang, how did I offend you? Even if you die, you must let me die to understand.”

“Alright, don’t call me Brother Zhang one by one. I’m sure you know exactly what kind of relationship we have. You only have your eyes on the wealth in my hands.” Zhang Cheng shook his head and stopped Cheng Ran from continuing to get close to him. Then, he said, “To be honest, I heard about the arrival of the Great General in Yin Guan City. I’m sure Tokto City will be unsafe soon. I want to send my goods out, so I’ll have to trouble you to open the city gate. There shouldn’t be any problem, right?”

Cheng Ran had been thinking about Zhang Cheng’s identity all along, but when he suddenly heard that he was just sending the goods out of the city, he immediately relaxed a lot and said, “So that’s the request. That’s easy to handle. Actually, with our relationship, there’s no need for this. You just need to be direct.”

‘”Alright, I have a lot of money in my hands. Now that you’re a general, I’m afraid you have more appetite. I think it will be very difficult to satisfy you. I can only use this method. I hope you can understand.” Zhang Cheng said helplessly.

“No money, we still have friendship.” Cheng Ran continued to explain.

“Alright, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and tidy up. Take me to the west gate.” Zhang Cheng said impatiently.

Hearing that he was going to the west gate, Cheng Ran couldn’t help but feel relieved.

What Cheng Ran was most worried about was that Zhang Cheng was sent by the Great General to earn money to open the city gate. If that was the case, then even if he had to fight to the death, he would still have to resist, because once the city gate was opened to let the enemy in, he would undoubtedly die, and it would also implicate his younger sister. However, if he only opened a city gate to make it convenient for a merchant, then it wouldn’t matter. Even if someone reported this matter to Chan Yu, he should be fine. And now hear zhang cheng is going to the west gate, the heart is more relieved, that direction and yin guan city is the opposite, is to the huns army deep in the place, there should not be Bingzhou City army.
