The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 34 Promoted to Lieutenant
Inside Yanmen Pass, Zhenbei General's Mansion.

In the lobby of the mansion, there is a thick pile of bamboo slips on the copywriting, which are the information from various places sent back from outside Yanmen Pass.

Veteran General Zhang Zhong was wearing a black military officer's robe, kneeling and sitting in front of the desk, his brows were slightly lowered, his eyes were bloodshot as he scanned the bamboo slips, obviously he hadn't slept all night.

The left and middle vanguards of the Xianbei had arrived outside Yanmen Pass yesterday afternoon and set up camp ten miles away from the pass.Based on this calculation, Budugen's army will soon come knocking at the pass.

The only thing Zhang Zhong couldn't figure out was that the troops from Loufan, Guangwu, and Yuanping counties outside the pass had all withdrawn, why the Xianbei army from Yunzhong County on the right side had not been seen for a long time.

Could it be that the Xianbei people still have something behind them?
The old general's eyebrows were almost drawn into a straight line. This unknown danger was like a tiger or leopard lurking in the dark. Once it was thrown out, it would hurt his life.

The master Bo Chentao walked into the hall and bowed to Zhang Zhong, "My lord, I have issued your order. All the counties have begun to prepare troops. I believe that within a few days, they will be able to come to reinforce Yanmen Pass."

This is undoubtedly good news for Zhang Zhong.

400 years ago, Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall to resist the North Hu. Yanmen Pass was the most important pass on the Great Wall.

The Yanmenguan city wall is stacked with huge bricks, and the closed city tower passes through the clouds, majestically flying into the sky.There are eighteen passes in the east and west, which are integrated into one. The wall is based on a stone base, filled with rammed earth, and covered with bricks. There are crenels on the wall.

There are countless famous generals stationed at Yanmen Pass in the past dynasties. Li Mu, Meng Tian, ​​Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Guang and others, which one of them has not been shining through the ages.

The alien races from the north went south several times, and as a result, they hated Yanmen Pass again and again.

If you want to go south, you must break Yanmen.

This time, in order to break through the pass, Budugen, one of the three kings of Xianbei, did not hesitate to come out with an army of [-] to the south.

Xianbei people accounted for four of the nine counties in Bingzhou. Zhang Zhong transferred 5000 troops from the other four counties, plus the [-] soldiers stationed at Yanmen Pass. Zhang Zhong was confident that the Xianbei people would be defeated again.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhong couldn't help stroking the white beard under his chin, and the tiredness on his face was swept away.

Chen Tao took two steps forward, with concern on his face, "My lord, you stayed up all night, you should take a break and watch again. If we are exhausted, who will lead us to resist the Xianbei people."

Zhang Zhong laughed when he heard the words, "The old man is very strong!"

Immediately, as if thinking of something, Zhang Zhonghong's face darkened a lot, and he asked with some expectation in his eyes: "Is there any news about Liao'er?"

Chen Tao sighed and shook his head. He sent several batches of guards from the palace to search for Zhang Liao's whereabouts, but found nothing.

"God, the old man has never begged anyone in his life. But now, the old man begs you to bless my grandson and let him come back to the old man safely."

Zhang Zhong closed his eyes and prayed silently and sincerely in his heart.

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

Standing at the door of the lobby was a handsome and elegant young man, panting slightly, holding the door frame with his left hand, his crisp voice came into Zhang Zhong's ears.

The tail lines at the corners of Zhang Zhong's eyes twitched twice, and he suddenly opened his eyes, fearing that he had misheard, he glanced around randomly, until his eyes were completely locked on the mud-stained boy.

Zhang Zhong almost jumped up and rushed to the door, but just took two steps, stopped again, flicked his sleeves, hid the joy on his face well, and put on an old face: "Hmph, are you still here?" Know come back!"

Chen Tao smiled on his face and cast his eyes on Zhang Liao. We haven't seen him for a few days. This kid seems to have grown a lot.

Zhang Liao stepped into the lobby and kowtowed to Zhang Zhong, "The grandson is unfilial and left home without permission, causing grandfather to worry."

Zhang Zhong turned his back to Zhang Liao and wiped the corners of his eyes secretly, then turned around to help Zhang Liao up, still with a straight face, "Go and ask the servant to change into clean clothes for you, you don't have the demeanor of a general in tatters. Also, tell your mother what you want to eat tonight."

Zhang Liao shook his head, and said solemnly, "Grandfather, my grandson came back this time to report something important."

Seeing Zhang Liao's serious expression, Zhang Zhong shunned away the soldiers and servants inside and outside the hall, leaving only Chen Tao alone.

The lobby instantly became empty.

Chen Tao went to get a glass of water, handed it to Zhang Liao, and motioned him to moisten his throat first.

After gulping down a gulp, Zhang Liao reported to Zhang Zhong everything he saw and heard on the road, except for the drama.

Because, this is what Xi Ce specially asked him beforehand.

Rao Zhang Zhong and Chen Tao have experienced the world for a long time, and they were all dumbfounded after listening to it.

"That Lu Bu really only led dozens of people, and defeated nearly twenty times the Xianbei people, and no one was killed?"

"Yes."

"Then he lured more than 3000 Xianbei people into the Pocket Valley, devoured them all in a fire, and captured the Xianbei general alive?"

"Yes."

"Before you left, he killed Zheng You, the captain of Hengdu, who came to attack the camp, and incorporated the army of Nao County without a single soldier?"

"Yes."

Zhang Liao's three "yes" words, like thunderbolts, exploded in the hearts of the old general and Chen Tao.

Both of them knew that Zhang Liao would never lie, so everything he said was true.

Chen Tao couldn't help feeling a little tingly at the moment, and smiled wryly: Could it be that Lu Bu is really a monster?
"Don't care about monsters and freaks, in short, I am a big man who will never die, hahaha..."

Zhang Zhong stroked his beard on his chest and laughed loudly.

Zhang Liao, who was drinking water, saw his grandfather laughing so happily, he muttered softly, "It's a good thing I didn't say, they are going to fight Yunzhong County."

"what!!!"

Zhang Liao's voice was very small, but Zhang Zhong heard it clearly, and shouted: "Go, bring me the topographic map of Yunzhong County!"

Chen Tao fetched the topographic map and spread it on the desk.

One is the supreme commander of Bingzhou, and the other is the commander-in-chief's staff. The two heads circled the topographic map of Yunzhong County.

Zhang Zhong had no choice but to look at Zhang Liao who was standing aside for help, "Grandson, tell grandfather, how can 2000 people conquer Yunzhong County?"

"Grandson doesn't know, but grandson believes that they will be able to conquer Yunzhong County." Zhang Liao's eyes were shining brightly.

Zhang Zhong didn't expect that Zhang Liao would trust Lu Bu and others so much in just a few days, and asked Chen Tao, "With these merits of Lu Bu, can he be promoted to any position?"

"Enough to be promoted to military commander."

Chen Tao calculated in his heart and answered truthfully.

The old general walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stopped, his eyes were determined, "You send someone to tell Lu Bu that the old man appointed him as the new captain of Beiguang, and let him let go of the Xianbei people." Do it, handle all affairs by yourself, no need to report to the old man!"

Chen Tao was slightly stunned, remembered it in his mind, and said worriedly: "But if Lu Bu killed Zheng You, Zheng's family may not let it go."

The old general straightened up, wearing a military officer's robe without any wind, "The sky is falling, I will help him hold it up!"
