Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Passing By Zuo Feng
Zhang Chao was learning from Liu Bei to cry.

Liu Bei’s rivers and mountains were truly “crying”. However, this “crying” was not a general sense of “crying”, but a “roundabout method” that Liu Bei used to manage people’s hearts and gather power.

The current Zhang Chao and Liu Bei had many similarities, for example, they were nameless, low status and weak strength. In order to gather connections and achieve hegemony, he would always yearn for help and support from others. This was just a method.

Now that such a method had been used on Zhao Yun, it had indeed played a very good role.

Now that Zhang Chao had said this, Zhao Yun’s heart was instantly engraved with the feeling that Lord really valued affection and righteousness. Under the heavens, who would take the initiative to apologize to the people below? Just this alone was enough for him to return the favor with a lifetime of retribution.

“Master, don’t say that. Don’t worry, after master has achieved fame, you don’t need to look at people like this. At that time, Yun will definitely be the vanguard and clear the obstacles for master’s great cause.” Zhaoyun saw zhang chao can’t give cao cao half a cart of treasure, he believed master must be reluctant, and will do so, is not enough strength. He swore that he would do his best to assist Zhang Chao’s great cause. At the very least, things like this could not be allowed to happen again in the future.

“Good, good. I believe Zi Long’s words. I believe him.” Zhang Chao patted Zhao Yun’s shoulder again and said with great emotion.

Through this small matter, Zhao Yun was more loyal to Zhang Chao, and the relationship between the two monarchs seemed to be more harmonious.

“Report, we’ve found a group of troops ahead. They seem to be officers and soldiers. There’s also a soft sedan chair. Please make your decision, Second Childe.” One of the cavalrymen in charge of the front row came back and came to Zhang Chao’s side.

Hearing this, Zhang Chao thought to himself, “Could it be that some big shot is here?” With this thought in mind, he said to his subordinates, “Let’s go take a look, but remember not to disturb them.”

Before he didn’t know who the other party was, Zhang Chao was still very courteous, unreasonably erecting an enemy that was not done by a wise man.

Zhao Yun with a hundred cavalry followed Zhang Chao forward, and head-on is a line of people collided.

This was a troop of about five hundred people, most of whom wore the clothes of officials and soldiers of the Imperial Court.

After Zhang Chao and the others appeared, the officers and soldiers on the other side became nervous. All the swords and shields were erected, forming a defensive formation. “Who are you? Tell me your name.”

It was no wonder that these officers and soldiers were so nervous. It was really that Zhang Chao and the others didn’t have any characteristics. Other than his own white clothes, everyone else was wearing black clothes and black trousers. In addition, it was getting late. At first glance, it was still very frightening.

“I am Chen Liu, Zhang Chao, Zhang Zhiyuan. I wonder who is here.” Zhang Chao waved his hand to let the cavalry stand still, and then announced his name loudly.

The voice was loud enough for the other party to hear it clearly. After a few breaths of time, a shrill voice came from the other party’s soft sedan chair, “But Chen Liuzhang Chao, who just defeated the Yellow Scarf Thief in Changshe?”

“Exactly.” Hearing that the other party actually knew him, Zhang Chao was also a little surprised, but he still admitted it.

“Oh, so it’s a hero from the Changshe Society. Someone, open the sedan door and ask Zhang Yao to come at the same time.” Another shrill sound came from the soft sedan chair.

Afterwards, someone from the other camp walked forward a few steps and whispered to Zhang Chao, “Our father is Xiao Huang Sect’s Zuo Feng.”

Hearing Xiao Huang Sect, Zhang Chao immediately understood that he had encountered a eunuch here.

Eunuchs, also known as eunuchs. It was an official of the ancient capital that was used exclusively by emperors, monarchs and their clans.

Eunuchs were also abnormal men, or not real men. Even though they weren’t physically sound, because they were closer to the imperial power, they did have an extremely strong influence. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the eunuchs had reached a peak.

The eunuch group of the Han Spirit Emperor, known as the “Ten Changshi”, was led by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

They played with the Little Emperor in their palms, so much so that the Spirit Emperor said, “Zhang Changshi is my father, and Zhao Changshi is my mother.” Ten often serve oneself extortion, sell official position jue, their father and brother children all over the world, run rampant in the countryside, harm the people, no official dare to manage.

It was precisely because of the dark corruption of the eunuchs that a large-scale peasant uprising took place. It could be said that the Eastern Han Dynasty would eventually end up in ruins, which was inseparable from these eunuchs.

However, the Eastern Han Dynasty was still alive, and the Spirit Emperor of Han was still in power. On the surface, it seemed that the country’s general trend was centralized in the central government, so the eunuchs were naturally very popular.

For example, this Zuo Feng in front of him was someone sent by the Ten Standing Attendants to inspect the work in the army. The situation of the battles below and the performance of the generals and officials would often be transmitted to the ears of the Han Spirit Emperor.

Therefore, even though he was just a eunuch, Zuo Feng’s power was very great. As long as he was willing, the white one could be said to be black, and the black one could naturally be said to be white.

This time, the Yellow Scarf Thief caused a big disturbance. The Ten Standing Attendants did not want to share the Emperor’s worries. They thought that they were indeed taking this opportunity to earn money for themselves. Zuo Feng came down to ask for bribes on the pretext of checking military intelligence.

In fact, it was well known that the Imperial Court had sold the officials for money. This time around, Zuo Feng didn’t even need to say a word, and people with good eyesight knew what he was doing.

The first place Zuo Feng inspected was the Land of Lu Zhi.

The resolute Lu Zhi did not bribe him, and even someone who tried to persuade him to bribe Zuo Feng refused. Until later, because Zuo Feng did not get any benefits, so he harbored hatred in his heart. In June, after Zuo Feng returned to Luoyang, he slandered Liu Hongjin and said, “This minister saw that Guangzong County was easy to break, but Lu Zhi did not move. Could it be that he wanted to wait for the heavens to kill Zhang Jiao?” “Liu Hong great anger, a letter to remove lu zhi, and escort back to luo yang with a prison cart, sentenced to life imprisonment (commutation of capital punishment, etc.).

Although Huangfu Song had offended him and restored his position as Minister, he could tell that Zuo Feng still had the ability of the entire eunuch group.

To such a person, Zhang Chao was unwilling to offend him, he would not offend him, and even had to rely on him to seek greater benefits for himself.

As far as Zhang Chao himself was concerned, the world was not in chaos, and there was no other day for him to rise to prominence. To this end, he had no intention of stopping history from changing. What he needed was to quietly develop, then watch everything happen, and finally find an opportunity to stand on his own feet and create his own territory and power.

For this reason, after hearing that the person he met was Zuo Feng, he knew in his heart. Under the lead of the officers and soldiers, they arrived at the side of the soft sedan chair and saw Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng was around 30 years old and under 40 years old. Perhaps because he had been castrated, he did not seem to have any spirit.

“You are Zhang Chao.” Zuo Feng looked at Zhang Chao with a pair of small eyes. Seeing that he was indeed only a youth of less than seventeen, he believed in the identity of the person who came.

“Master, it’s Zhang Chao.” He bowed his head and cupped his fists respectfully.

Zhang Chao’s performance made Zuo Feng happy in his heart. If this person was willing to call him an adult, then it meant that he respected him. He liked such a person.

“Mm, I have already read the battle report. I think you will arrive in Luoyang soon. At that time, the Emperor will definitely praise you greatly. Do you want to serve your country wholeheartedly in the future?” Zuo Feng put on airs and said as if he was educating his descendants.

“Yes, what Your Excellency has said is correct. Being able to do your best for the country has always been a superb wish. At the same time, I have admired Your Excellency for a long time. To be able to meet you this time is truly an arrangement made by the heavens. I have prepared some small gifts. Please accept them with a smile, Your Excellency.” Zhang Chao looked up at Zuo Feng as he spoke.

“Oh! What is it?” Zuo Feng couldn’t help but be even happier when he heard that there was actually a gift.

“Sir, please move.” Zuo Feng revealed his greedy nature, and Zhang Chao also became happy. He was afraid that the other party would not accept gifts. As long as he was greedy, as long as he had shortcomings, many things would be easy to handle.

Zhang Chao led Zuo Feng to his cavalry camp, and then waved his hand to send the half-cart of treasures over.

Zuo Feng originally thought that he was just the younger brother of a satrap, what good could he have? However, he had never expected that there would be so many treasures, and his eyes were also staring at them. This was truly an unexpected harvest.

“My lord, I respect you for these things. Half of them can be left for my lord. Please send the other half to Father Zhang. I’ll have to trouble you for everything.” Zhang Chao smiled as he spoke. The Father Zhang he spoke of was naturally the first of the ten waiters that the Han Spirit Emperor called Father. “Oh right, these things aren’t registered. I don’t know how many of them are.” Zhang Chao took another small step forward and said to Zuo Feng’s ear.

The meaning of this sentence was to tell Zuo Feng that you only need to pick up the good things you like and then send the rest to the top. Anyway, there was no registration, so no one knew what exactly was going on.

“Hehe, Zhang Chao, Zhang Chao, you’re not bad, very good.” At this moment, Zuo Feng’s eyes had already narrowed into a crack. It was a good thing that so many treasures could be picked by him. He couldn’t help but have a good impression of Zhang Chao in front of him.

The so-called cannibal mouth is short, and the hand that takes a person is soft. After receiving the benefits, Zuo Feng had to show some signs. He coughed softly and said, “Zhang Chao, you have made a great contribution to the Long Society Battle this time. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want the Emperor to give you?”

Normally speaking, only the Emperor himself could say such words, but now Zuo Feng had kicked him and said it. This was already suspected of overstepping it. If there was a ginseng in the prime of the world, he would probably not be able to eat it. However, in the current social context, no one was going to pursue these matters.
