Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Worries About Cai Yong
There are Guo Jia, Lu Su and Xu Shu.

Wu has zhaoyun, huang zhong and tardif.

After everyone was seated in the front hall, Zhang Chao waved his hand to Bai Tong and the others to step down. This time, the discussion had to be top secret, requiring that other than the seven people who knew about it, no one else should be allowed to know about their plans. It was not a question of whether or not they trusted each other. Rather, there were some things that the fewer people they knew, the safer they would be.

Seeing that even Bai Tong had retreated, Guo Jia and the others’ expressions became much more serious. This was the first time they had followed Zhang Chao in such a solemn meeting, so how could they not be nervous?

The six of them became serious because of the oppressive atmosphere. Zhang Chao’s gaze was fixed on everyone. He had deliberately made the atmosphere so that everyone could pay attention to the contents of this meeting.

“Everyone, the general trend of the world has undergone an important change. Dong Zhuo is occupying Luoyang, crippling the emperor and establishing the emperor. The civil servants and generals below also have their own thoughts. The collapse of the world is at this moment.” His voice was loud and clear. If he carefully tasted it, he could hear the excitement in Zhang Chao’s heart.

After arriving at the Eastern Han Dynasty and waiting for more than five years, it was finally the day of his grand hall plan. How could he not be excited and nervous?

“The day before yesterday, my brother has been with cao” from the city, crusade dong zhuo big day. One could foresee that Dong Bandit would not be able to hold on for too long. Everyone in the alliance army had different thoughts, and they were not in unison. In this way, we will lose without a doubt, and what we need to do now is to find a platform for our development in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. That’s why I’ve decided. ”

When it came to deciding, the eyes of the other six people shone brightly. They also knew that the time had come for them to display their strengths.

“I decided, our army is divided into three ways. Along the way, Feng Xiao and Zi Yi led a thousand cavalry to Hanoi and Shangdang to find a place to stay, waiting for a new order. At that time, Heavenly Eye members will cooperate with you and give you directions and specific locations. In fact, they have been doing this all along and have already made a complete plan. When you go, lay low by day and walk by night; do not let anyone discover you. Fortunately, you have enough time. How about it, the two of you can complete it? Zhang Chao’s gaze fell on the two of them.

Country and tardif looked at each other after some, are stood up and said: “please master rest assured, I will be able to complete the task.”

“Alright, Jie Shi, if there’s anything Zi Yi wants to discuss with Feng Xiao, we need to listen to his opinion.” Zhang Chao nodded, accompanied by country, this matter can be at ease.

“Zijing, I’ll have to trouble you to guard Chen Liu this time. Our base camp is here, and our family is also here. I can only give you five hundred cavalry. I wonder if I can defend it?” Lu Su’s gaze turned to look at the two of them and said, “Zijing, I’ll have to trouble you to guard Chen Liu this time.”

Lu Su hurriedly stood up and said, “Master, please be at ease. With Su present, I will definitely keep Chen Liu safe.”

“Alright.” Seeing how confident Lu Su was, Zhang Chao felt at ease. This time, only leaving Lu Su alone was a helpless method. Really, what he needed to do required too many people. Regardless of which general he left behind, he was afraid that he might not be able to catch him, so he could only leave this person behind. Fortunately, all the dukes were rushing towards Tiger Prison Pass, so Chen Liu should be fine.

After arranging the city protection, Zhang Chao looked at Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Xu Shu. “The three of you, follow me to Luoyang. Remember, it’s still daytime and nighttime, so keep your movements secret. Now let’s talk about the strength of the troops.”

After several years of development, the number of cavalry under Zhang Chao reached five thousand. Among them, there were 1,500 heavy cavalry, divided into three battalions. There were three thousand five hundred light cavalry, divided into seven battalions.

This time, Lu Su stayed at home and had a battalion of heavy cavalry at his disposal. With these people, it might be difficult to chase after the enemy, but when it came to defending the city, it could still play a very powerful role in defending against the invading enemy.

Country and tardif is to take away two battalions of light cavalry, namely one thousand people.

Zhang Chao with zhaoyun, huang zhong, Xu Shu with the remaining two battalions of heavy cavalry and five battalions of light cavalry.

After distributing the troops, Zhang Chao let everyone go down to prepare and set off in two days.

After the meeting, everyone moved, preparing food, inspecting quartermaster supplies, and observing routes. Everyone was busy.

In the courtyard of Second Childe Prefecture, Zhang Chao, dressed in white, was standing at the edge of a pond, looking at the fish that would occasionally come out to breathe. His heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Sometimes, how could a person not be like a fish, breathing continuously in order to survive? Even though they knew that there was a risk of being caught if they showed their heads, there were still fish that would do so. Otherwise, they would probably die sooner.

“Second Young Master, is there going to be a war?” Bai Tong took a white cloak and walked behind Zhang Chao, asking softly.

Although Bai Tong did not hear the contents of the meeting, everyone became busy after seeing it, and she guessed that something big was about to happen.

Seeing that it was Bai Tong, Zhang Chao did not answer her question immediately. Instead, he changed the topic and asked, “I didn’t allow you to be present during the meeting just now. Are you angry with me?”

“How is that possible?” Bai Tong said with an expression that she absolutely didn’t think too much about.

Seeing that Bai Tong understood him very well, Zhang Chao felt even more guilty. He took the initiative to explain, “Actually, I’m not targeting you. Instead, I want to form a rule that women are not allowed to interfere in politics. This is an iron law, and no one can violate it. This requirement must start from oneself.”

Zhang Chao actually took the initiative to explain. This made Bai Tong’s heart very moved. “Second Childe, stop talking. I can understand. I also know that you are someone who does great things. I just want to let you know that no matter what decision you make in the future, I will be the first to abide by it.”

“Alright.” Seeing how considerate Bai Tong was, Zhang Chao reached out and hugged her in his arms.

Falling into Zhang Chao’s arms, Bai Tong felt warm. At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

…

In January 190, the Alliance Army led by Yuan Shao raised its righteous flag to crush Dong Zhuo, stationed troops at Tiger Prison Pass, and the world officially opened in chaos.

Zhang Chao quietly brought his subordinates who had been training for several years out of Chen Liucheng and headed straight for Luoyang when the main force of Tiger Prison Pass was fierce.

Luoyang City was currently enveloped by a wave of dark clouds.

It had been more than half a year since the death of the Spirit Emperor Urn. The political situation had changed from chaos at the beginning to even more chaos now.

The cause of the chaos is not only because someone began to hold luoyang military and political power dong zhuo began to crush, also is what happened just now, dong zhuo actually make marotta poisoned the king of agriculture (young emperor), he is only 15 years old, did not have a few days as emperor, first was driven off the stage, now even the chance to live.

Dong zhuo this way, but also let luoyang into a depression, is self-destructive, have to consider the future and the future.

In the main courtyard hall of the Cai Mansion, Cai Yong was pacing back and forth in his room. The brows on his face had long been knitted together, showing the worry he had for the whole country.

In the main hall is sitting Liu shi and CAI yan. When she saw Cai Yong walking back and forth, Mrs. Liu couldn’t help but ask anxiously, “Stop walking back and forth. What should we do next? Tell me something. I heard that Yuan Shao is leading a dozen troops to attack Tiger Prison Pass. I also heard that many people in the capital have been implicated. Is there anything wrong with our family?”

“No. Zhiyuan is very smart. He didn’t join the Alliance Army. Dong Zhuo knows about this. He shouldn’t make things difficult for us now.” Cai Yong stopped walking back and forth and said after thinking for a while.

“Oh, that’s good.” Hearing that there would not be any danger for the time being, Mrs. Liu’s originally anxious expression couldn’t help but turn a lot better.

However, Cai Yong’s words shocked her again. “Although Dong Zhuo is not making things difficult for us right now, if his estimation is correct, I’m afraid that there will still be dangers in the future.”

“What does this mean?” Mrs. Liu’s heart tightened again, and she became anxious again.

“What else do you mean? Do you think, he even poisoned the fifteen-year-old King Hong Nong (Young Emperor) to death? Then what’s there to be afraid of? In short, if he doesn’t get rid of him, disaster might befall him at any time.” Cai Yong shook his head, looking very angry and helpless.

Just as Cai Yong was about to say this, the housekeeper suddenly ran in and said, “Master, master, this is bad.”

“Why are you so panicked?” Seeing the butler running in out of breath, Cai Yong had a premonition that things were not going well.

“Master, master, doctor to marotta.” The butler panted.

“Marotta.” Upon hearing this name, Cai Yong’s entire body trembled, and Liu shi’s expression changed drastically, “But that marotta who poisoned King Hong Nong?”

“That’s right, it’s him, Dong Zhuo’s son-in-law.” Cai Yong nodded in agreement.

Marotta, word excellent, also known as Li Xiaoru. Official history is the han dynasty when the young emperor doctor, dong zhuo dictatorship, under dong zhuo’s orders, into the palace poisoned liu debate. After dong zhuo died, li jue into changan, control of the government, li jue marotta for doctor, but was rejected by han xian emperor. In 198, li jue was defeated by cao cao, marotta whereabouts.

Marotta is also at the end of the eastern han dynasty doctor, is a very intelligent, scheming person, dong zhuo can become a hegemon, finally into the cauldron center, he also played a significant role in it.

“Let’s go take a look.” Even if everyone had arrived, there was no reason to hide. Although he was somewhat unwilling, Cai Yong still moved towards the outer hall.

After ordering a cup of tea, Cai Yong returned to the inner hall. Mrs. Liu asked anxiously, “What’s the matter with him?”
