After Tian Yu's mood improved, he thought of something and said to Chen Cheng: "The general didn't go over when he saw you, and he even asked about you."
"Oh? But is there any order?" Chen Cheng asked: "Are you still dissatisfied with me for recruiting some barbarians and rebels?"
"That's not true. I just want you to go there tomorrow."
"That's it... Okay, I'll go there early tomorrow morning to meet with General Zhonglang."
When he arrived at Guanzi City the next day, the atmosphere in the city was completely different from the last time he came here. The city was full of soldiers bragging about their bravery, and everyone looked cheerful and no longer dishonest.
He went to the place where Gongsun Zan lived and explained his purpose to the soldiers at the door.
Because he had been here a few days ago, the soldier at the door still remembered him and said: "You wait for a while, and I will report to the general."
After a while, the soldier walked out quickly and said: "The general asked you to wait outside."
Chen Cheng smiled, thanked the soldiers, and then stood at the gate. He waited for more than an hour, and he didn't care. He kept a smile on his face. Because the weather was getting better and the temperature was rising, he just waited.
He was wearing a cloth robe, and his body could be seen to be a bit stout. Other than that, he was not wearing any weapons or armor.
Even if the weather is cold, he doesn't need to wear a lot, but he may need more food. As for not wearing armor or weapons, that's just what it looks like. In the "inventory", there are many armors
It only takes less than a second to take it out and put it on.
He stood at the gate, and people coming and going couldn't help but talk about him when they saw him, but they just smiled.
Guan Jing came to Gongsun Zan's office to discuss matters. When he saw Chen Cheng, he couldn't help but said "Hey" and said: "Why are you standing here?"
After saying that, he immediately woke up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll go see if the master is free now."
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Guan."
Guan Jing deeply trusted Gongsun Zan, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was his first adviser. Chen Cheng naturally recognized him. Even if he didn't, he would have known after asking around.
After a while, Guan Jing came out, waving his hands, and said: "It just so happens that my lord is free now, please come in with me."
Chen Cheng straightened his clothes, raised his head and followed Guan Jing in. In the hall, Gongsun Zan straightened his waist and knelt on the ground. He was wearing brown clothes, with a hair crown on his head and a three-inch beard on his chin.
Even when he was sitting, he was still very domineering. Beside him, the two generals Gongsun Yue and Yan Gang were there, but no one else was seen.
Seeing Chen Cheng walking in, Gongsun Zan asked: "I heard that you have recruited some rebels? Very good, I will follow Tian Yu here and work hard. When the time is right, we will kill all those barbarians together!"
"
Just when Chen Cheng was about to say that he was ready to disband and return to his fields, Gongsun Zan said again: "I heard that your shooting skills are unparalleled. There is a bow here, let's try it."
Tsk... Chen Cheng took the bow and arrow, walked to the courtyard, glanced at the guards on the side, and thought to himself: What if I go crazy now and shoot Gongsun Bogui to death with one arrow?
But after all, this was just a thought. He pulled the bow and tested the strength. It was about three stones, which was considered a fine weapon. After taking out an arrow, Chen Cheng asked: "Where does the Commander-in-Chief want me to shoot?"
Gongsun Zan had no expression on his face and did not speak. But Gongsun Yue was very interested. He stood up and walked a few steps forward, pointing to the copper bell hanging in the distance and said: "I saw the bell under the eaves of the corridor.
Yet?"
"I saw it."
"Can you hit the target?"
Chen Cheng stretched out his thumb and measured the test distance, which was roughly around eighty steps. He felt confident and said, "Yes!"
After that, he put the arrow on the bow, placed the aim two fingers above the bell, then let go, and the arrow whizzed out.
"clang!"
After the crisp sound, the copper bell was nailed to the wooden wall, shaking uncontrollably.
"Okay!" Gongsun Yue laughed and said, "Sure enough, your shooting skills are unparalleled!"
He said to Chen Cheng: "Your current official position is Captain of Cavalry? Come and work with me, I will give you a school captain!"
Gongsun Zan snorted coldly and said, "How can official positions be awarded privately?"
He said to Chen Cheng expressionlessly: "You go down first, the court will give you a reward."
The smile on Chen Cheng's face was inconvenient, he saluted Gongsun Zan, and then left. As soon as he walked out, he heard Gongsun Yue's loud voice, "My lord, you clearly said you wanted to promote him to the rank of captain, why didn't you ignore it?
"
Guan Jing chased him out of the courtyard and said to Chen Cheng: "Because the soldiers were injured too much, my lord is in a bad mood. Captain Chen should be more considerate."
Chen Cheng showed just the right amount of surprise on his face, and said: "What did Mr. Guan say? I only have a few hundred people in charge and I feel overwhelmed. General Zhonglang has so many people under his command. It makes me feel extremely honored to be able to spare the time to meet with him."
Already."
Guan Jing was stunned for a moment, always feeling that these words were sarcastic. But looking at the sincere smile on Chen Cheng's face, he was a little unsure. After thinking for a while, he decided to put aside these speculations and said with a smile:
"That's good if you think so. By the way, does Captain Chen have a cousin?"
Chen Cheng smiled and said: "When I visited Pingyuan Magistrate before, Magistrate Liu picked one up for me."
Guan Jing thought for a moment and then remembered who Pingyuan Ling was, and the smile on his face became brighter, "Pingyuan Ling...oh, it's Liu Xuande, I wonder what name he gave you?
"
"Wen Zheng."
"Okay!" Guan Jing clapped his hands and said, "A sincere person is the right person. Xuande is good at literary talent. He is worthy of being a person who studied under Mr. Lu together with my lord."
Chen Cheng smiled and said nothing. Guan Jing looked at him for a while and said, "Does Wen Zheng know who Mr. Lu is?"
"Appreciate further details."
The two talked for a while. After reaching the door, Chen Cheng said: "Mr. Guan, please stay. I have a friend..."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, and the figures of certain people appeared in his head. His mood dimmed a bit, but he cheered up in the next moment, "... Bai Mayi served under General Zhonglang,
His name is Zhao Yun, and now I want to go and talk to him about old times. I will listen to Mr. Wang’s talk when I have time another day.”
Watching Chen Cheng's retreating figure, Guan Jing was very proud because he had conquered another brave general for his lord.
Chen Cheng had been here once before and was already familiar with the topography of the city. He walked to the yard where Zhao Yun lived in a familiar way. Before he entered, he smelled a faint fishy smell. He sniffed outside the door and frowned.
He wrinkled up. After opening the door, he saw several soldiers living in the yard, busy making fire and cooking.
Seeing someone entering the door, the soldiers raised their eyes and looked over. They were all Zhao Yun's comrades in Baima Yizhong. They recognized Chen Cheng who had been here before and had eaten the wine and meat he had given them. Smiles suddenly appeared on their faces. But then, they
The smile on his face dimmed.
Chen Cheng's heart skipped a beat and asked, "Where is Zilong?"
Someone came up, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed and said: "Come with me."
After saying that, he turned around and opened a door curtain on the wing, and whispered: "If I come later, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you."
The fishy smell in his nose became stronger and stronger. Chen Cheng walked inside and saw a man lying on the couch with a face like gold paper. If his chest hadn't been rising and falling slightly, he would have been regarded as a dead man. The man was eight feet tall.
Chi, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who else could he be if he wasn't Zhao Yun?
Chen Cheng stepped forward, opened the straw mat on Zhao Yun's chest, and saw the hideous wound on his chest.
Zhao Yun slowly opened his eyes, snorted softly, with a smile in his eyes, and said softly: "I heard that you defeated the Wuhuan army of tens of thousands..."
Chen Cheng pressed his finger lightly on his lips and whispered: "Zilong, don't speak yet."
Although Zhao Yun was in pain, the smile in his eyes was even greater, and he said: "If I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say it in the future."
Chen Cheng said: "There will be many opportunities in the future. I plan to build a convalescent camp and bring all the wounded and sick soldiers in the city for treatment."
He looked at Zhao Yun and said nervously: "Zilong, are you willing to come over?"
There was a smile in Zhao Yun's eyes, and he said: "I am like this, even if I don't want to, there is no way I can't say it, right?"
In Chen Cheng's sight, a line of white subtitles appeared in the lower left corner, "Zhao Yun has joined your team."
He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relaxed all over, and said with a smile: "If you say no, I will tie you up and take you back."
Zhao Yun suddenly felt that the pain in his body had eased a lot, and he knew in his heart that he had regained his strength, so he said: "My hometown is in Changshan. If Wen Zheng is free..."
Chen Cheng is so smart, why can't he hear the hidden meaning behind his words? He immediately stopped him and said, "If you have anything to say, wait until you feel better!"
When he saw Zhao Yun's chapped lips, he took out a glass of grape juice, added some soothing medicine, and fed him some. Zhao Yun felt thirsty, opened his mouth and swallowed, and then felt dizzy in his head.
, and fell asleep quickly.
Seeing that he was sleeping, Chen Cheng came out and gave some drinks to the soldiers outside, asking them to take good care of Zhao Yun, and then went straight to find Guan Jing. After he went out, several soldiers looked at several jars of fine wine, swallowed their saliva, and said: "
What's going on with this man? Don't you know that Zilong is dying?"
Someone went into the side room to take a look, and then shouted in surprise: "He is no longer hot, and his injuries have stabilized!"
Several people outside couldn't believe it and hurriedly followed them in. After they exited together, they couldn't help but look at each other and suspected that they were in a dream. For a long time, someone said: "I heard that the great sage master has great supernatural powers...
..”
"Keep it down!" Several hands came up to cover it, "I don't want to die!"
The great sage is Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army of Taiping Road, who once launched the massive Yellow Turban Uprising. Although he is dead now, it is still a taboo in the court. Moreover, although Zhang Jiao brothers are dead, Qingzhou merged with Xuzhou and other states.
There are still many remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in the land, who have always regarded the great sage as a god, saying that he is not dead.
"Then shall we drink this wine?"
Some people couldn't help but swallow again. After repelling the rebels, there was no shortage of food, but where was the wine? Those barbarians didn't have this skill. There was kumiss, but it was so fishy.
The taste is difficult for Han people to adapt to.
Looking at the jars of fine wine in the yard, someone muttered something, strode forward, slapped the mud seal off, and said, "Why don't you drink? Maybe you can get some immortal energy!"
"Yes, yes, that's the truth!"
Everyone was relieved and said one after another: "That's the truth!"
