Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 31

Chapter 31 To Luoyang
“The emperor’s power is supreme. The entire world belongs to him. I’m just working for him. He can decide what I want to reward.” Zhang Chao did not understand Zuo Feng’s words and was still speaking in a proper manner.

“Ah, there are no outsiders here. Tell me what you want. I will think of a way to help you win it.” Zuo Feng waved his hand. There was no need to say this. You are facing me now, not the Emperor. Just say what you want.

“Can you say?” Zhang Chao pretended to be enlightened and asked.

“Of course, just say it. As long as it’s not too difficult, I can help you fight for it.” Zuo Feng said confidently. He also believed that when the time came, he would only need to say something nice about this person in front of the Spirit Emperor of Han Dynasty. Ordinary things could be accomplished.

“Yes.” Zhang Chao’s eyes lit up and he said, “Even so, I have always wanted to be a general. This time, defeating the Yellow Scarf Thief can be considered to have wiped out the bandits. It’s not too much of a name for a General Dangkou, right?”

General Dangkou, one of the miscellaneous generals. However, he was only a rank six martial artist, so it was nothing. He could obtain a reputation by relying on this merit, let alone those treasures.

“Mm, it’s not too much, but you can’t ask for just this little bit, right?” On the contrary, Zuo Feng was a little unwilling. He had already hinted at so many things. He had indeed only asked for a miscellaneous general who wasn’t that big. This was truly underestimating him.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the officials hadn’t been divided into grades, but the name of a general Dangkou was nothing. Zhang Chao intentionally mentioned this first in order to have a name. Now that he had a name, the other party still wanted him to make a request. He then said, “If possible, I will also become a satrap on one side like my elder brother, and make my own contribution to the stability of the people on the other side.”

At that time, the position of satrap was also of no rank, but if one had to consider it, it could be considered as rank four. As for whether it was rank four or rank four, it depended on the scope of its governance.

“Oh, your brother is satrap Chen Liu, right? Then you need to think about it carefully.” Zuo Feng did not immediately agree when he heard that he had asked for the position of satrap. After all, ordinary satraps had seats, so it would take some effort to arrange them.

‘”Yes, I’ll have to trouble you. I’ll prepare some good things to go to the capital later. At that time, I’ll have to trouble you.” Seeing that there was a door, Zhang Chao said while the iron was hot.

The subtext of this sentence was that as long as things could be done, there would still be benefits.

Zuo Feng smiled in satisfaction when he thought of all the benefits this time, and there would definitely be a lot of them next time. “Alright, you should go back to Chen Liu first. After I finish investigating the matters in the army, I will return to the capital and run for your affairs. At that time, the Emperor will definitely see you. Just be prepared.”

This was equivalent to Zuo Feng agreeing, agreeing to ask for more benefits, and working hard for his matters.

People’s greed was endless, Zuo Feng was willing to help Zhang Chao for money. Why not the latter? This was exactly what he wanted.

The two of them hit it off in one hit, and both of them burst into laughter.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them didn’t say anything else. They immediately bid farewell and ran towards their respective targets.

There was no more treasure to escort. Zhang Chao’s group was very fast. According to his meaning, they would not rest tonight and would return to Chen Liu City overnight.

Zhao Yun looked at the treasures were all given away, but master seems to be very happy, is a little puzzled, these good things, if all changed into money, but can buy a lot of quartermaster equipment army.

Of course, even zhang chao is not anxious, he is also useless, just follow master overnight is.

At five o’clock, Zhang Chao and the others returned to Chen Liu. When the city guards saw that the second young master had returned, they hurriedly opened the city gate. Everyone went out without a sound, and returned without a sound. It smelled like they didn’t know what was going on.

After returning to the second young master’s mansion, country immediately rushed over.

Upon seeing Guo Jia, Zhang Chao, who had just changed into a clean white robe under the service of Bai Tong and the others, laughed out loud, “Feng Xiao, thanks to you guarding the city this time, I can do things without worry.”

“Master praise, you don’t know, there are those cavalry patrol every day, where would anyone dare to stir up trouble, even some scattered nearby yellow turban army also don’t dare to have ideas about Chen Liu.” Country also laughed. Evidently, during this period of time, the city had been very quiet because of the fear of Zhang Rui’s heavy cavalry.

“Good.” Zhang Chao smiled and patted Guo Jia on the shoulder before asking him to sit down. He was very relieved to leave this person to defend the city. His intelligence was one of the top five in the entire Three Kingdoms. If he couldn’t even defend a tiny Chen Liu, then he would be suspected of losing his reputation.

After the two of them sat down, Zhang Chao told them all about his harvest this time.

Actually, most things have been known by country, five carts of treasure has been shipped back to the city, he had found a rough calculation, with this money can be in the equipment of five thousand cavalry. Thinking about how the eight hundred cavalry had such a formation, if their strength reached five thousand, how spectacular would it be? Country heart has a small expectation.

Of course, for zhang chao said to meet Zuo Feng, and then sent half a car of treasure, country is also agreed.

As a wise man, you must know that a man can be flexible. A true expert must not only have a strong side, but also have a sense of advancement and retreat. It was like when Overlord Xiang Yu was willing to admit defeat, it wasn’t that he didn’t have a chance to rise from the East Mountain.

As for Zhang Chao’s willingness to spend money to buy an official position, Guo Jia naturally agreed. After all, if he wanted to succeed, he needed to have a certain status and influence. Just like what Zhang Chao had said back then, the phrase “political power emerges from the barrel of a gun” was the best interpretation.

“Mm. Since all the money is in place, we should start expanding. However, we shouldn’t expand too quickly. In this way, we should limit ourselves to three thousand people. Too many people is not good for concealment. As for keeping the rest of the money, I have great use for it.” Zhang Chao thought of the trip to Luoyang, it would cost him a lot of money.

“That’s good too.” Guo Jia nodded in agreement. If the three thousand cavalry could be trained to the same level as the previous Zhang Clan Army, then ordinary enemies would be able to deal with them calmly.

The two of them said the situation of Chen Liu, and once went to the capital, need to pay attention to some things, country will leave. Zhang Chao called Bai Tong and said, “Tong’er, let Lu Fei arrange for them to infiltrate Luoyang immediately. I want to know everything there is to know.”

As he said those words, Zhang Chao’s eyes shone with righteousness, causing Bai Tong, who was watching from the side, to fall into his embrace. She found that after Second Childe’s return, his vitality seemed to have risen by a whole level, becoming more mature, adding a heroic heroic aura, becoming even more manly.

After Zhao Yun followed Zhang Chao back to Chen Liu, he immediately began to expand the cavalry and train the sergeants according to the plan. Similarly, Lu Fei, the person in charge of Heavenly Eyes, also began to expand the intelligence system under Zhang Chao’s instructions. With the support of a large amount of money, and under the constructive advice of Second Childe Shier, Heavenly Eyes’ forces and spies began to spread throughout the country.

After the Yellow Scarf Army’s initial offensive was suppressed, they gradually retreated. For a time, peace returned to the vicinity of Chen Liucheng, and heroic drunkenness was also sold out. Of course, other places were still in chaos, and there were still many refugees who came to Chen Liu every day. This allowed Zhang Chao’s army expansion plan to be carried out secretly and smoothly.

Two months later, at the end of 184, Zhang Miao returned to Chen Liu.

He took a total of seven hundred sergeants with him, but not even a hundred came back with him. It was not an easy task to eliminate the remaining evil spirits of the yellow scarf this time. Fortunately, he was still a satrap, and after completing Huangfu Song’s military order, he could return to the city to rest.

On the seventh day after Zhang Miao returned to Chen Liu, the Imperial Court’s finger-pointing notice also reached this point, requesting Zhang Chao to enter the capital to face the Sage.

To this day, Zhang Chao could be said to have been looking forward to it for a long time. This trip to Luoyang was also entirely within his plan. Apart from obtaining fame, he still had two years of work to do.

This matter concerned the lives of the two women. Zhang Chao was going to save them, but at the same time, he was also laying the foundation for his own great cause.

After satrap zhang miao learned the oracle, he called his brother zhang chao.

“Zhiyuan, although this trip is not dangerous, the capital is not a good place. If you say something wrong, you can cause trouble. You must be careful.” Zhang Miao said with concern.

“Thank you for your reminder, brother. I know how to do it.” Zhang Chao nodded respectfully. He was very clear about his brother’s love for him. Of course, as a reward, he also wanted to repay this elder brother Wuyou for the rest of his life.

Zhang Miao nodded his head in satisfaction with his younger brother, “You still let people rest assured. How about it? Who are you going to take to the capital this time? The soldiers guarding the city are up to you to choose.”

For two months, under the efforts of country and Zhang Jie, Chen Liucheng’s defenders more than doubled. Most of them were young and strong people selected from among the refugees. Of course, the money to support them was naturally taken out by Zhang Chao. Under the situation of heroes being drunk, it was still possible to raise more soldiers.

Therefore, Zhang Miao had confidence. He was very concerned about his younger brother’s safety.

“Brother, please rest assured. I have trained a group of generals. I can bring them with me when the time comes. Furthermore, I am a face-to-face saint in the capital this time. It is not easy for me to be too flashy.” Zhang Chao would not take away the soldiers guarding the city, these people stayed to protect his elder brother. It was said that his trip was not easy to be too flashy. Now that the country was employing people, if he was accompanied by hundreds of soldiers, it would inevitably make people jealous and cause some trouble for no reason.
