The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 27
On the towers of the inner city, the Black Mountain army was divided into two factions, their sharp blades were half drawn, and their eyes were concentrated on one place.

Cheng Yuanzhi kept looking at the green young man in front of him, and found that he was very handsome, about seventeen or eighteen years old, very tender, tall, with a pair of bright eyes full of righteousness.

Standing straight like a green pine, proudly soaring to the sky.

With his hands bound, he didn't change his expression when facing thousands of soldiers who could take his life at any time.

This kind of temperament, appearance, if my guess is correct...

"Why did you kill my tribe?" Cheng Yuanzhi asked him.

"That person bullied the weak, so I killed him in anger."

"Bold!"

"Don't dare, the commander-in-chief once said when he entered the city that he did not commit any crimes against Minqiu, and those who commit crimes will be killed." The young man stated the evidence neither humble nor overbearing.

"You..." Cheng Yuanzhi's eyebrows twitched, his eyes became fierce: "Come here!"

hula la~
Eight soldiers surrounded him, drew their waist knives, and made a gesture to chop.

The young man kept his eyes fixed, his expression calm and composed.

How bold!Everyone in the Black Mountain Army gave a secret praise.

"Untie him..." Cheng Yuanzhi said.

The eight soldiers who surrounded him were almost stunned by these words, and were taken aback for a moment. Two of them put away their knives and stepped forward to untie the rope for the boy.

"Thank you, Commander." The young man flexed his wrist and arched his hands.

Cheng Yuanzhi said "Yes", and walked around him, looking up and down, "Let me guess who you are."

The young man didn't move, still looking at the place where Cheng Yuanzhi was standing, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

There was no one there.

The two sides had never met each other, and he didn't believe that the other party could reveal his origins in one go.

"You are not yet married..."

The young man pouted, noncommittal.

He is still young, and he is not a son of a wealthy gentry, how could he get married so early?
In this world, even if you don't need too much dowry to get married, even if you don't need a dowry, you can't afford it.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see this point, and it is not surprising to guess it.

The other party, but mediocre. He thought to himself.

"You are Changshan Zhending..."

The young man's face moved quickly, the corners of his raised mouth were closed, he did not speak, and his expression remained calm.

It must be a large county in Changshan County, with a large population, so it is normal to be guessed... He comforted himself in this way.

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled slightly, and said word by word: "Your surname is Zhao..."

The young man's body froze for an instant, his well-developed hip muscles visibly tensed up, and then relaxed again.

Well, as I thought before, Zhending has a large population, and the surname Zhao is a common surname in the county, so it's not a big deal to be misunderstood... The young man continued to justify himself.

Seeing his reaction, Cheng Yuanzhi had almost concluded his guess, and he changed his mind and said:
"Why don't you make a bet, if I call your name, you will hang out with me...how about joining the Black Mountain Army?"

bet?mix?

The young man tilted his head and thought for a while, and almost understood the meaning of "scumbag". He turned his head and looked over with piercing eyes, "You must have found out about me a long time ago, I won't bet."

"But I can consider hanging out with you first."

"Really?" Cheng Yuanzhi was overjoyed.

"No lie."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"I can see that you are different from other bandits."

"What's the difference?"

"You have committed no crime against the common people. I killed your soldiers, but you did not kill me either."

"It's a soldier who violated military discipline..." Cheng Yuanzhi corrected him, thinking that if the soldier you killed wasn't a soldier who violated military discipline, you would have died by now.

"Hahaha...Okay, this commander accepts you as the captain of the personal guard."

Cheng Yuanzhi looked up to the sky and laughed, he couldn't be happier.

"Wait a minute!"

The young man clasped his hands and said: "Chairman, can you let me go home first, there are still younger brothers and sisters who need to settle down at home."

What?Do you have siblings?The smile on Cheng Yuanzhi's face disappeared suddenly.

I have never heard of Zhao Yun having a younger brother.

The young man explained: "Don't worry, Marshal, I, Zhao Feng, said one thing, and I will never break my promise if I promise to be with Marshal. If I go, it will take at least three days, and at most five days."

"Zhao Feng?"

Cheng Yuanzhi was so disappointed that he almost bit off his tongue.

Not Zhao Yun, careless!

At the same time, a question filled my mind, are all the men in Changshan County so handsome, or are all the men surnamed Zhao so handsome?

Seeing Cheng Yuanzhi's expression changed drastically, the man who called himself Zhao Feng seemed to realize something, and asked tentatively, "Marshal, do you want to go back on your word?"

"No, you can go back now. If you really can't leave the house, you don't have to rush here."

That's what he said, but his tone was dull and disappointed.Everyone can hear it.

Cheng Yuanzhi feels that he needs to be comforted in his extremely disappointed mood.

Let's not talk about whether this person is brother Zhao Yun, even if he is, he can't have it. Don't look at this guy's handsome appearance, but he is short-lived, and he won't live for a few years.

Moreover, if this person is really Zhao Yun's elder brother, after taking him in, if he wants to plot against Zhao Yun again, the difficulty will suddenly increase.

Not worth the candle, not worth it, not worth it.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yuanzhi kept shaking his head.

Zhao Feng secretly heaved a sigh of relief, cupped his hands, turned and left.

Cheng Yuanzhi watched him leave, pondering for a long time.

The young man came down to the city, found his fellow villager, grabbed his arm and walked out.

After walking for a short distance, the little friend said with a look of fear, "Brother Yun...you scared me to death."

"Shhhhhhh..."

Zhao Feng covered his partner's mouth and looked around vigilantly. Seeing that no one was paying attention to the two of them, Fang lowered his voice and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go..."

The two quickly left the outer city and disappeared.

……

As the sky gradually darkened, Cheng Yuanzhi stayed alone on the tower, and it took him a long time to release his disappointment.

Later, he looked up at the dark night sky and said to himself:
"The system is great, please give me a clear path, Zhao Yun is very short in my life."

"I can't sleep well without him..."

The system did not respond.

Since the last time the system was ignored, the system has never appeared again. No matter how Cheng Yuanzhi calls, coerces and lures, nothing happens.

So he guessed that he might lose the system forever, forever, as well as the remaining chance of resurrection.

That's a sad guess indeed.

The city was sparkling with fire.

The Montenegrin army set up piles of bonfires on the streets leading from the outer city to the inner city to keep warm during their shifts.

In the middle of the night, the reinforcements sent by Zhongshan finally arrived late under the leadership of Zang Min.

The army was not superior, Zang Min did not attack the city immediately, but camped ten miles outside the city, waiting for dawn.

On this trip, he not only brought 4000 soldiers, but also sent troops to Anxi County, 50 miles away.

Anxi County belongs to Zhongshan County. Although there are only [-] soldiers, Zang Min knows that the county lieutenant's surname is Liu, and the three brothers are all warriors who put down the Yellow Turban.

Invitation to be cannon fodder... There is nothing better than to help out.

After several years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Zang Min has long understood the ultimate meaning of "you are the one who takes the blame, and you are the one who dies, and all the credit is mine".

He secretly praised himself for coming up with a good way to get Anxi county captain to help out.

If the rescue is successful, the credit will be his, Zang Min's.If the rescue fails, the three brothers will be blamed.

.........

The moon has not come out tonight, and it is pitch black outside the city.

However, the flames were faintly visible ten miles away, attracting Cheng Yuanzhi and others to stop and spy.

Zhang Yang stood next to Cheng Yuanzhi, and said worriedly: "Commander, our army has not committed any crimes after entering the city, and we are still in charge of food. There are a lot of people who joined today, and they are all young guys..."

"How much is a little too much?"

"There are more than 5000, and now we have [-] people."

"Well, that's a good thing."

"But Marshal, this city is quite poor and there is not much food left. Do you want to give the people food..."

As Zhang Yang said, he stretched out a hand and slowly closed it into a fist.

"Oh, there's not much food left?" Cheng Yuanzhi's eyes lit up, "Call Yang Chou quickly."

The messenger took the order and quickly went to find Yang Chou.

The result failed.

Today's attack on Changshan County was rewarded by various ministries. The food and grass officer's contribution was second only to the main siege troops. He was rewarded with a lot of wine and meat. Yang Chou was so drunk that he couldn't wake up.

The messenger held a torch and looked at this one of the nine leaders of the Black Mountain Army speechlessly.

It's really a wine bag and a rice bag...

Yang Chou's soldiers spread their hands and suggested helplessly, "Why don't you carry the leader over?"

"That's all it takes."

The messenger summoned a few soldiers with a wave, lifted Yang Chou and went straight to the outer city.

The new year is not here, and the winter is still cold.

When the cold wind blew at night, Yang Chou shivered, woke up, opened his eyes, and saw Cheng Yuanzhi and Zhang Yang looking over with serious expressions.

His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly woke up from the alcohol, sweating profusely, got up quickly, and wiped his forehead embarrassingly.

"Big, big... handsome."

"Yang Chou, you don't have much food and grass, why don't you come to repay me?"

Cheng Yuanzhi's voice was deep and unkind.

"Back to Commander, there are still [-] shi of food and grass, which can be used by ten thousand people for [-] days."

"Oh, are there really so many?"

"The subordinate dares to guarantee with his life."

"There are no jokes in the army."

"I...I would like to issue a military order..."

"Quick, get your pen and ink!"

In a hurry, Yang Chou regretted the military order reluctantly, but when he saw the unfriendly eyes of the commander, he had no choice but to admit it with his nose.

He was illiterate and could not issue a military order, so he was ghostwritten by the army.

Looking at the military order written in his hand, Cheng Yuanzhi was overjoyed, and patted Yang Chou's shoulder familiarly:

"There is enough food and grass, the commander-in-chief can rest assured, Ah Chou, go and rest."

Yang Chou was flattered and surprised, and he was called a nickname without hesitation. Accompanied by his own soldiers, he went down the tower.

Zhang Yang opened his mouth, which finally turned into a sigh.

Even he, a rough man, realized that something was wrong with the commander-in-chief today. He didn't believe that Ah Chou, who was always shrewd, wouldn't be able to sense it.


A Chou must have sensed it, so he dared to issue a military order, which should be because he was very confident in the amount of food and grass.

Yang Chou was indeed very confident.

Back in the camp, I deliberately checked the grain and grass accounts again, and there were still [-] shi, which hadn't changed at all!
He calculated silently in his heart: 5000 people use five thousand stones for five days, 1 people use ten thousand stones for ten days, and 1 people use twenty thousand stones for 20 days.

Can't go wrong!
