My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 57

Cao Cao has left.

Of the three tokens left behind, Su Chen could probably guess who they were. The surname Le was rare in the Wei Kingdom at that time, and he followed Cao Cao in his conquests, so it goes without saying that he was also Le Jin.

Su Chen didn't know much about his life, except that he was one of the five good generals.

As for 'Zhang', I guess it could be Zhang He or Zhang Liao. After all, the former managed to reach his peak and died in Jiange. He must have been very unhappy.

'Zhang Liao is also possible.He fought bravely and bravely, but was eventually dragged down by illness...'

In the midst of speculation, Su Chen set his sights on the last token. That Guo Zi was probably another counselor Guo Jia.

Three tokens, one gold and two silver, totaling [-] points.

It hurts to think about it.

Su Chen now knows the long-term strategy, and now he wants to know how to break the situation in the face of [-] state troops. The [-] points are not included in the 'Guo' token.

Seven or eight steps away, a sickly and thin figure appeared. He sat staggeringly under the eaves and leaned against the eaves pillar, feeling dizzy. His face was sunken and thin, with a few strands of beard, and some white hair could be seen in the bun. He closed his eyes in a daze and muttered for someone to bring him wine.

"Get the wine...come...take the Shenxian Powder for me...I can still make...strategies...for your lord."

Su Chen frowned slightly.

He remembered that Guo Jia often took Wushisan... In that era, excitement, addiction, and physical damage were equivalent to drug abuse.

"Guo Jijiu?"

Su Chen went over to help him up. The man lifted Su Chen off, staggered a few steps, opened his eyes slightly, and looked around unsteadily.

"Qionglou Yunwu... Are there people in the fairyland?"

squeak~~
The nearby wing opened, and Xun Yu leaned half of his body out. Just as he was saying, "Who is Changsheng talking to? The voice is so familiar." When his eyes fell on the shaky figure looking around in the courtyard, he was stunned and screamed. : "Filial piety?"

The figure over there turned around when he heard the sound, and when he saw Xun Yu standing under the eaves, he immediately laughed.

"Oh? Wen Ruo is here, and you're dead too? Hey, Dian Wei? You're here too. Come on, take the Shenxian Powder with me. If you don't want to, you can go back, see your lord, and bring peace to Jiangdong!" Guo Jia rummaged through his clothes. , wide sleeves, footsteps approaching from the side, he raised his face, and the slap instantly enlarged under his eyes.

Snapped!
Xun Yu walked out of the eaves, came over and slapped him in the face. "You don't know how you died back then? You still obey these things!" As he said this, he grabbed a small paper bag from his hand and threw it to the ground.

Xun Yu's face was filled with anger, and he dragged Guo Jia, who was in a daze, into the house. As he walked, he said, "Come in with me and let me wake up!"

There was a bang, and then the door was closed, leaving only Su Chen and Dian Wei standing in the courtyard with big eyes wide open.

"My lord, it seems you haven't asked Guo Fengxiao about his strategy yet."

"Come back later when he is awake."

Su Chen crossed his arms and said this. Outside the Crescent Gate, Thirteen quickly walked in. He had been recuperating for more than half a month and was finally able to go to the ground today. The injury was not fully healed, so he hurried over to protect him. As soon as he entered the Crescent Gate, he saw Su Chen, and the tall and burly man next to Su Chen.

"Third Young Master, the Marquis invites you to come over for dinner. He is..."

"My new guard, your injury is not fully healed yet, go back and lie down." Su Chen patted Thirteen's chest gently, and the latter grinned in pain, "Don't worry, as long as Dianwei is here, I will be fine. He is extremely skilled in martial arts and also very ferocious."

Thirteen touched his chest and raised his face, looking up at the giant man walking in front of him. He was not as tall as his shoulders. He saw the big copper-bell eyes slanting under his thick eyebrows. He swallowed his saliva and murmured in a low voice: "This physique , appearance, even if he says he cannibalizes people, I believe him.”

All the way to the atrium, they ate as before, but there were four more people at the table. Sitting together with Fang Xuejun, the woman ate her meal in silence with her face lowered, unlike usual times when she would shout to Su Chen for help. She picks up the food.

Su Congfang, who was at the top of the list, also ate in silence. After a long time, he finally said: "Changsheng, that... um... these four people are from the Fang family. They brought letters from home and specially brought Mr. Xue back."

The family letter was in Su Congfang's place. He handed the letter to Su Chen. This scene fell in the eyes of the four people, and they were all a little surprised.

Isn't the head of the family Mr. Su Hou?
Why do you still question your son so cautiously?

Su Chen didn't pay attention to the thoughts of these four people. He opened the envelope and looked at it, then folded it and put it aside. When he looked at the woman, Fang Xuejun also happened to look over.

"You go back with the four of them. Your mother thinks you are ill. Children should go back and fulfill their filial piety."

"Ah."

Fang Xuejun ate her rice silently and nodded obediently. She wanted to stay here, but her mother was sick and she had to go back to visit her as a daughter.

After eating, the woman returned to the side room to pack her bags. Before leaving, she handed her favorite 'Xue Jian' into Su Chen's hands. Without saying a word, she got on her horse and quickly disappeared with her four cousins. street.

"Dad, next time you can make the decision on these matters. If the Fang family wants to regret their marriage, you don't have to worry about me knowing about it."

Under the eaves, the father and son looked at the end of the street. The old man smiled bitterly: "Aren't you afraid that you will feel uncomfortable?"

"Don't worry, your son has a generous heart. He dares to rebel. Why is he afraid of feeling uncomfortable? It's human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. Although the Fang family is despised for doing this, it is not wrong."

Su Chen turned around and turned away from his father's shoulder, and whispered: "Besides, Yunqi County is not far from Ding'an. After I finish my work with the imperial army, I will visit the Fang family in person."

After saying that, he walked straight back to the house. Thinking about the Fang family, he shook his head with a smile. He had no time to care about it. It was only right to deal with the soldiers and horses from the three states who were about to kill them.

South Wing.

Guo Jia was sitting on the chair with his whole body wet. He looked at Xun Yu who was reading across from him with a clear expression. He lowered his head and clenched his fist again, feeling the realism brought by the grip. There was a look of surprise in his eyes.

"I... live?"

"Dead, but alive again."

Xun Yu raised his face slightly and smiled: "Fengxiao, live a good life in this life and give full play to your talents, but don't drink too much and ruin your body and bones. Don't let another person die young. There will be more in the future. If you have time, you can go to the ancestral hall over there and find Mr. Cao." "Is this true?"

Surprise flashed in Guo Jia's eyes. Just as he was about to stand up, footsteps seemed to be heard outside. Xun Yu put down his pen and said with a smile: "The real master is here."

After the words fell, the door creaked open, and Su Chen walked in with his sword. Seeing that Guo Jia was awake, he stepped forward and raised his hands: "Sir, I don't know what to call him?"

"The surname is Guo, the single name is Jia, and the given name is Fengxiao." The scribe straightened his face, stood up and returned the courtesy.

"Guo Jijiu, please have a seat."

Su Chen stretched out his hand to ask the other party to sit down, and also gave his name. Then he got down to business and sought strategies on how to deal with the [-] soldiers from three states.

Here, Guo Jia was not as persistent as Xun Yu. After hearing the whole story and talking to the troops of the three states, he asked:
"How many available troops do you have?"

"Twelve thousand, plus more than a thousand riders."

Su Chen was telling the truth. The twelve thousand still counted the new soldiers and surrendered prisoners. If the believers on Zhang Jiao's side were included, the number would be about fourteen or five.

After finishing speaking, he added: "In case of war, the cavalry and horse rations can only last two days, while the infantry can last for five days."

Guo Jia nodded and asked, "Who will lead the troops?"

"Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, and brothers Zhang Jiao, Dian Wei can also be counted."

Hearing the names of 'Dong Zhuo', 'Lu Bu' and 'Zhang Jiao', Guo Jia looked at the dark-skinned Su Chen in front of him and was slightly speechless, "Are they here too?"

"It's been a long time."

Su Chen nodded and added: "If you feel that there are not enough people for the wine ceremony, you can also invite Le Jin, Zhang He or Zhang Liao over."

"Le Jin and Zhang Liao can also come? Haha... Then this battle will be won." Guo Jia was particularly excited. He took the initiative to take Su Chen to the wall and looked at the map to find the location of Rongzhou and the other two states. "The number of enemy troops It’s huge, but the generals you have are all experienced in hundreds of battles, and it’s enough to defeat a ragtag group of [-] people.”

He looked at the map, his sleeves rolled up and held behind his back.

"Jia lets them come and go."

January fifteenth.

Boom!
Boom!thump thump——

Dense and shocking drum beats are beating from the towers on all sides of Ding'an City. The vibrating rhythm of the drums comes clearly here one after another. The blood in the whole body can't help but tremble and boil. The whole city wakes up in the misty sky. Over here, a large number of young men and women bid farewell to their families and went out, rushing to the predetermined place to help load and unload grain. Women, old and weak, guarded the door, watching the cavalry riding horses galloping through the streets, waving and shouting at them.

In the prison camp, the remaining 1000 prisoners woke up from their sleep, swarmed out of the huts, crowded outside the fence, and watched from three levels inside and three outside.

Someone exclaimed: "This is about to start a war!"

The drums of war continued to sound, going far away on the big drums set up on the towers of the four city gates. The drumsticks were beating again and again in the waving arms, spreading all over the city walls and reaching the streets and alleys in the city. , the military camp stationed in the wilderness outside the city also has the desolate horn blowing to echo it.

A large number of soldiers and horses entered and exited the camp gate, and the cavalry roared past. In the lonely tent in the noisy camp, the oil lamp swayed, reflecting on a mighty figure wearing armor. When he turned around, the outline of an animal face swallowing its head was reflected in the golden It still looks ferocious in the light
Soldiers came in from outside, "General Lu, the account has been raised."

The man hummed, and walked over to get the long soldier on the shelf. His name was Lu Bu, and he was given the title of Marquis Wen. Some people had titles like Lu Bu, Tiger Tiger, and Flying General. There were also some unpleasant ones, but those were no longer important. The Battle of Xiapi in Xuzhou was already in his memory. Now he wanted to live a better life and had a new goal.

Seven or eight feet away, an old man named Dong Zhuo took some water and washed his face. The woman gently put on his armor for him. The little girl sitting on the couch ran over and hugged his legs: "Father , to beat away all the bad guys!”

"Ha ha!"

Dong Zhuo laughed loudly. He was once the bad guy who was beaten, but now that he heard these words from a child, he felt indescribably happy.

"Okay, my adoptive father will definitely beat the bad guys away!"

He rubbed the little girl's bun, turned around, grabbed the serrated knife and put it on his shoulder, strode out of the tent and headed towards the Chinese army's tent.

The sky is getting brighter.

Groups of cavalry stretched toward the military camp in the southeast. The victims poured out from the outlines of simple huts and tents to watch the cavalry soar. Rolling carts carrying heavy baggage were constantly gathering from all directions.

In the distant military camp, craftsmen are busy preparing some things needed for the war, or repairing armor and weapons. This is the posture before entering the war. Obviously, there will be a big move soon.

Soon the galloping cavalry entered the camp gate. Dozens of people dismounted and headed towards the commander's tent in the center of the camp. There were bright lights there. When the patrolling and vigilant soldiers around saw the figure striding towards them, they clicked the handles of their guns with a bang. He straightened his back.

The generals on both sides of the tent, led by Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, crowded the tent to the max. After a while, the curtain was opened, and Dian Wei came in first and stood on one side, shouting in a low voice: "Raise the tent!"

Su Chen strode in with a sword in hand, followed by three people, and then stood next to Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu, who was standing on the right holding a halberd, turned his face slightly. When he saw one of them, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Wenyuan."

In his gaze, the man was tall and straight, with a majestic face and a slightly long beard. He was wearing iron armor and had a sword hanging from his waist.Hearing this soft cry, the man turned his head to look at Lu Bu and also laughed.

"Fengxian, I haven't seen you for many years."

The two of them no longer look like they were when they were young, but when they look at each other again, it feels like they were back when they first met.

……

The brazier burned fiercely.

Su Chen stood behind the long desk, making the sound of armor rubbing against metal, and glanced seriously at the generals in the tent.

"Ready to go to war!"
