Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 59
Chapter 59 Xu Gongming, Hedong Yang Prefecture
“Ah.” Cai Yong let out a long sigh and then said, “The situation on the frontlines is not good. Dong Zhuo wants to move his capital to Chang’an. After all, that’s where his power is. He asks us to follow him.”
“What? To Chang’an? Why? We won’t go.” Mrs. Liu said with a temper.
“If we don’t go, will we be allowed to do so?” Yong said while shaking his head. Without the strength of a chicken, what do you want him to do when facing the current Grand Master who holds military power?
No one was willing to leave their homeland, but when things really got to that point, even if they weren’t willing, they wouldn’t be able to.
Yong had just finished talking about Mrs. Liu, the side of the seat in a corner has been silent CAI Yan stood up, “no, I will not go to changan with you, I want to go to Chen Liu, I want to find Zhang Lang.”
“Daughter, how far is Chen Liu from Luoyang? It’s the autumn of chaos now. How can you go to a girl’s house?”
Just as Mrs. Liu finished her words of advice, Cai Yong also said, “Yes, the world outside is in chaos. How can you go to Chen Liu without someone to protect you?”
“No, who said there’s no one to protect him? Isn’t there a Yue Laiju? That’s the spy Zhang Lang arranged. He told me to go there if there’s anything urgent.” CAI Yan attitude is very firm said. Even if he became Zhang Chao’s fianc é e, he would still die beside a man instead of leaving for Chang’an, and they would never meet again.
Knowing his daughter’s personality, Cai Yong hesitated for a moment and then said, “Alright, that’s it. You can go. It’s just that you can’t do it during the day. I’ll wait until the night when there are fewer people. I’ll arrange for servants to escort you there.”
Cai Yong compromised. At his age, he could be considered to have lived long enough. However, her daughter was still young and had a bright future ahead of her, so she really couldn’t follow her in such a foolish and uncertain foreign land.
…
At this time, CAI Yan mouth Zhang Lang has been to luoyang city.
Unlike before, Zhang Chao did not wear white clothes to enter the city this time. After all, that outfit was too conspicuous. He had disguised himself as a businessman and entered this place. After entering the city, he didn’t even go directly to Yue Lai Ju. Instead, under the guidance of the owner of Yue Lai Ju, Wang De, he headed straight for the bungalow area in the north of the city.
Most of the people living in the north bungalow area were businessmen, and some of the smaller officials settled their families here. Compared to other areas where the dragons and snakes were in chaos, the security here was relatively good.
Among them, there was an inconspicuous courtyard. In the courtyard, there was a young man resting on a wooden chair.
It was the first month, and the weather was still very cold. However, seeing that this person was wearing only a thin layer of clothes, it made him snort heaven-shaking.
Pushing the door open, Zhang Chao brought Zhao Yun and Wang De into the courtyard. However, Zhang Chao’s feet made a slight sound of footsteps, and he saw that the sleeping young man suddenly stood up. As he stood up, he reached out and grabbed the Heaven Splitting Axe, which he had placed in front of him, and held it in his hands.
“Gongming, don’t worry. It’s me.” When Wang De saw the axe, he was shocked. At the same time, he moved forward and appeared in front of the young man.
He saw that the young man was about the same age as Zhao Yun, but he gave off the feeling that he was very sturdy. When he stood there, he had a feeling that he was in charge of everything.
He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, and a wide face. This was the first impression that this person gave Zhang Chao.
“Brother Wang De, why are you here?” After recognizing that the person in front of him was the boss of Yue Laiju, who often drank and chatted with him and talked about world affairs, the young man gently put down his Heaven Splitting Axe.
“Gongming, haven’t you always wanted to see our Second Childe? I’ve invited you here today, why don’t you meet him quickly?” As Wang De spoke, he retreated, exposing Zhang Chao behind him to the young man.
The two of them looked at each other with four eyes. The young man said, “You are Second Young Master Chen Liu. You brewed the Heroic Intoxication. The Changshe killed He Yi in the battle. Did you defeat General Zhang Chao, who was in the Bocai army of more than 50,000 with a thousand people?”
“If it’s a fake one, then you must be Gongming. Haha, you are indeed a Tiger General.” Zhang Chao’s gaze was filled with admiration as he looked at the person in front of him.
Although this was the first time the two of them had met, it had indeed been a long time since they had met. At least for this person, Wang De had done a lot of work in the early days. First, think of a way to become friends, and then become good friends, confidantes. After everything was done, he began to talk about Zhang Chao’s advantages and disadvantages every day. He simply described him as a sage, making this young man full of goodwill and admiration towards Zhang Chao. And then there was today’s meeting.
In the end, Zhang Chao Fei was able to recruit such a painstaking person. He was one of the five generals of the Cao Cao Group in history and ranked second in Xu Huang.
At this time, coppage has not made a fortune, not to mention know cao cao, but is the capital city protection of a cavalry lieutenant, is a big, small and not small official position.
However, unlike other generals, Xu Huang was very knowledgeable and far-sighted. As he was in the capital, he naturally knew what was happening around him. In his heart, he had a premonition of the turmoil in the Imperial Court. He also had a slight feeling that the world would be in chaos.
It was at this moment that Wang De appeared. Thanks to his constant efforts, he finally had an infinite favorable impression of Zhang Chao.
The two sides also agreed that one day, Wang De would introduce Xu Huang to Zhang Chao. However, he never thought that it was not him who went to pay his respects, but someone else who came to find him.
After knowing that the person in front of him was Zhang Chao, whom he respected for a while, the young man immediately put down the Heaven Splitting Axe and cupped his fists in salute, “Hedong Yang Prefecture’s surname is Xu, his name is Huang, and his character is Gongming. Greetings, General Zhang.”
“Haha, Gongming, there’s no need to be so courteous. Wang Deji has already told me about your matters. I know that you have always had ambitions, but I also have the ambition to help the world. However, without the assistance of a good minister, I wonder if you are willing to accomplish great things with you?” Zhang Chao reached out and grabbed Xu Huang’s arm, an excited expression on his face.
“Huang Yi is willing.” Xu Huang, who had been brainwashed for a long time, agreed.
Another good general made Zhang Chao extremely excited. At the same time, he also had a hint of understanding that it was easier to recruit generals than to find military counselors. As long as you are sincere, these men will be able to open their doors. They are not dealing with advisers, but they have to use a lot of tricks.
Xu Huang accepted Zhang Chao’s greeting, and then the two of them sat together and talked about the situation in the Imperial Court.
After listening to Zhang Chao’s foresight, Coppage was very impressed. He also felt that he had really found a master who could do great things this time.
Zhang Chao also learned some secrets about what happened in the capital from Xu Huang. He also inquired about the possibility that the imperial court would move its capital to Chang’an under Dong Zhuo’s control. Of course, there were also some secrets that were not known to others, such as Dong Zhuo ordering people to rob the imperial mausoleum and Gongqing’s tomb and collect all the treasures.
The conversation between the two lasted from afternoon to night, and they felt like they wanted to see each other too late.
…
Yue Lai Ju.
Under the protection of the servants, CAI Yan abandoned the sedan chair and walked to Yue Lai Ju.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t find Wang De. According to the shop assistants, the shopkeeper went out in the morning and hasn’t returned yet.
Didn’t see wang De, CAI Yan since don’t give up, wearing a long dress to the ground she decided to wait here. She was originally a person with a firm will, and she had the intention of not returning the oath if she didn’t see anyone.
Several of the people in the shop were Heaven’s Eyes members. They knew that this beautiful woman in front of them was Second Childe’s future wife. They did not dare to neglect her. Apart from offering hot tea, they also strengthened their protection.
At night, when the moon hung high in the sky, Wang De rushed back. Of course, he was accompanied by Zhang Chao and Zhao Yun, as well as a few brocade guards.
Once back in the store, immediately have subordinates to report CAI yan in the backyard.
Wang De heard CAI Yan came, naturally panicked, hurriedly reported to zhang chao behind, “Second Childe, madam came, but don’t know what she has to do.”
“Oh, Yan’er is here. I wonder if she has been here before?” When Zhang Chao heard that CAI Yan was also here, he couldn’t help but feel a little excited. He missed this talented woman who was also a woman with both talents and looks when he was in Chen Liu.
“No, this is Madam’s first time here. It must be something important.” Wang De shook his head. In the past, he had never even seen CAI Yan look like. He had only sent people to guard outside the Cai Mansion to protect them secretly.
“En, that means I haven’t seen her before. You should go see her first and see if there’s anything wrong with her. I just happened to change my clothes first.” Looking at the ordinary gray robe on his body, Zhang Chao smiled and said.
“Yes.” After wang De agreed, he led Zhang Chao to change his clothes, and under the guidance of his subordinates, he headed towards the backyard.
Haoyue in the sky, a long skirt CAI Yan stood in the courtyard, raised his head to look at the moon, miss zhang chao in his heart. He had said that he would appear by his side when he was in danger, so where was he now?
Wang De arrived at the courtyard and saw this scene. First, he was attracted by the graceful background.
Fortunately, he soon understood that this was Second Young Master’s future wife. She quickly stabilized her mind and coughed softly.
Wang De produced a voice, CAI Yan hurriedly turned around, when he turned around to see the man in his thirties, then asked, “Who are you?”
“In reply to Madam, the youngest one is Wang De.” Respectfully answered, even didn’t dare to look at CAI Yan.
“You are Wang De, the steward of Yue Laiju? Then do you know who I am?” CAI Yan is not so easy to believe people, if the person in front of him is really Zhang Lang’s subordinate, then should know his identity.
