Chapter 0002: Lu Yu

The hunting palace is not far from Chengdu City, and Liu Chan and Huang Hao rode horses on the official road to Chengdu City.

It's the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the scent of flowers on the roadside is blowing in you. Although he was already familiar with this journey from his memory just now, it was a different taste when he felt it in person, and Liu Chan slowed down with ease.

At this moment, Liu Chan suddenly woke up from the intoxication of birds and flowers, and looked in the direction of Chengdu City with a solemn face.

I saw billowing smoke and dust rising from the gate of Chengdu in front of me, gradually blocking the outline of the entire city and soaring into the sky. Liu Chan fixed his eyes and saw that it was a neat army, looming in the smoke and dust, slowly walking towards this side.

At the front of the line was a group of cavalrymen, all in armor and spears, sitting on their horses with a cold expression. Behind the cavalry were rows of infantry in leather armor, also walking with a neat pace with an indifferent face. Rows of tall military flags are waving in the wind in the ranks, and the big word "Zhao" is written on the military flags, and the dragon flies and the phoenix dances.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Although there was silence in the ranks, the neat footsteps were the loudest trumpet, the footsteps made by the neat steps, coupled with the solemn march of the army, the whole army gave people a battle-hardened atmosphere.

"It's murderous!"

Liu Chan subconsciously pursed the corners of his mouth, although he had not experienced the battlefield, but in his previous life, he still felt the battle-hardened aura from the opposite army. His heart was also instinctively excited, beating rhythmically with the footsteps of the army opposite. The horses beneath him neighed and paced back and forth on all fours, as if they would freeze in place if they didn't move the slightest.

"Whew"

Liu Chan let out a cool breath and calmed down, then pulled the reins of the horse tightly, controlled the restless horse, and looked up at the army in front of him walking towards him.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's General Zhao Yun. It's General Zhao Yun. Huang Hao's face turned pale, looking at the army that came over, although it was not aimed at him, but he was also so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.

Liu Chan ignored the panicked Huang Hao, still staring at the army walking this way.

At this time, the opposing army also saw Liu Chan, and quietly stopped in front of Liu Chan and others under the waving of the flag, and then one of the people in the team rode towards Liu Chan.

This person is a little old, but his resolute face is still heroic, and a few strands of silver-white beard move with the wind, which makes people feel elegant and steady against the backdrop of a silver armor.

This person is General Zhao Yun!

"Your Highness, your highness." Zhao Yun sat down on his horse calmly and saluted Liu Chan.

Liu Chan nodded and asked, "I don't know where the fourth uncle is going to move the crowd so much?" ”

Liu Chan knew in his memory that Zhao Yun was now the general of the Han Dynasty's Central Protector Army to conquer the south, and since Liu Bei led his army to the east to conquer Sun Quan, he ordered him to defend the city of Chengdu. Since Chengdu is the capital of the Han Kingdom, it is conceivable that this army must be elite, which also shows the trust of the Han Emperor Liu Bei in Zhao Yun. In addition, Liu Bei often calls Zhao Yun the fourth brother, and it is not surprising that Liu Chan is now calling the fourth uncle.

Zhao Yun still said calmly: "A few days ago, Your Majesty was struggling during the Yiling War, and the prime minister was afraid that His Majesty would fall for the treachery of Eastern Wu, so he ordered me to go to support Your Majesty. ”

Liu Chan nodded clearly, and then looked at the purging army in front of him, there was an inexplicable excitement in his heart, and he suddenly asked, "Does the fourth uncle still have any extra armor?" ”

"Armor?" Zhao Yun was slightly stunned. He asked, "Does Your Highness want to use it?" ”

Liu Chan sat upright and immediately stared at Zhao Yun and said seriously: "Since the war in Yiling is urgent, as the crown prince, I must go with all the soldiers to support my father." ”

Zhao Yun looked at Liu Chan with a serious look, and was slightly stunned, thinking that His Royal Highness is still young now, and his blood and qi are inevitable, so he didn't care too much. Then he calmly refused: "This is not good, Your Highness is still young, and it is better to learn more literacy with Mr. Yin." As for supporting His Majesty, the old ministers and all the soldiers must do their best. ”

Hearing Zhao Yun's refusal, Liu Chan frowned, he knew that since he was here, if he wanted to live a better life, it was not enough to just study, the most important thing was his prestige and the convincing of the army. Although he is now the crown prince, after Liu Bei's death, how can he only study and a few literati to control the country. In these troubled times, these regimes were born under bloody force, relying on the strength of the army.

Thinking of this, Liu Chan sat on the horse and straightened his body, stared at Zhao Yun and snorted coldly: "Could it be that the fourth uncle really thinks that Adou is young?" In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, Adou is the prince of our Han Dynasty, and now his father is fighting outside, Adou must serve the country, how can he hide here and make a living. Adou has made up his mind, please ask the fourth uncle to fulfill it. After speaking, he saluted Zhao Yun firmly.

Being stared at like this by Liu Chan, Zhao Yun frowned. Looking at Liu Chan, who was thin and weak in front of him, but his eyes were firm, he was also a little domineering. In the blink of an eye, there would be no danger in taking him there, after all, there are 100,000 troops on the emperor's side, although the war is a little lost now, and when the time comes, with the 20,000 troops he brings, he will definitely move the disadvantage over.

Besides, it is rare for the prince to have such courage, so it is better to take him to experience the experience, and it is also beneficial for him to see the real battlefield. Thinking of this, Zhao Yun stroked his beard and laughed: "Okay! This is the crown prince of our Han. Let's go and support Your Majesty. ”

Seeing that Zhao Yun agreed, Liu Chan exhaled slowly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't go, the enemy doesn't blink an eye when he kills." Huang Hao saw that Liu Chan was about to go to the battlefield, and hurriedly reminded him carefully.

Liu Chan looked at Huang Hao, who was nervously concerned about him, then looked at the army in front of him, sighed and said, "Thank you for your concern, but this is my choice, you go back to the palace with a few of them first." ”

After Liu Chan finished speaking, he ignored Huang Hao's shouts and urged the horse to walk towards the army.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Watching Liu Chan follow Zhao Yun towards the army, Huang Hao still wanted to persuade something. But there was nothing to do, so I could only watch it dryly.

Liu Changang walked into the army and took over the armor. At this time, a young man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist walked out of the cavalry, and he was even more masculine under the background of a suit of armor, but the leopard eyes that were not angry and arrogant smiled, stared at Liu Chan and laughed: "Yo." Isn't this Adou? What are you doing here! We're going to war, not just kidding. Go and go, go home and play with my sister. Hahaha. ”

Liu Chan naturally knows who this person is, this person's name is Zhang Bao, the eldest son of Zhang Fei, the brother of Liu Bei's righteous brother of the Han Emperor, and now the brother of the crown princess Zhang Yingying. Zhang Bao and Liu Chan have known each other since childhood, Liu Chan has always been relatively cowardly, so he naturally became the target of bullying by everyone, and when he saw that Liu Chan was now in the army, he couldn't help but come to joke. Everyone didn't dare to talk nonsense because of Liu Chan's identity, but when they heard Zhang Bao say this, they all looked up and laughed.

Liu Chan's memories of his two lives, coupled with the indifference of the killer in his previous life, didn't bother to pay attention to everyone at all, just seriously put on his armor, put it on and waved his hands and feet back and forth, looking very satisfied.

Zhao Yun next to him saw Liu Chan looking understated, nodded with satisfaction, not arrogant or impatient, it is difficult to have such a heart at a young age, and then glared at all the soldiers, Zhao Yun was originally his own generation, and everyone looked at Zhao Yun, who was slightly angry, and naturally it was not good to say anything. Hurriedly and solemnly sat down on the horse.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Yun gave an order, and all the soldiers began to walk forward with neat steps under the waving of the flag.

The Shu Road is mostly rugged and steep, although Zhao Yun is an elite division, but after a few days of long journey, it is naturally miserable.

At first, Zhang Bao and others didn't forget to ridicule Liu Chan along the way, but then they became more and more tired on the road, and gradually they had no extra strength to ridicule Liu Chan.

After six or seven days of marching, the soldiers looked tired. On this day, it was noon, and the army drove to a mountain forest, and some trees on both sides of the mountain forest were cold, so Zhao Yun ordered the soldiers to rest first, eat something and then go on the road.

Liu Chan dismounted and took a sip of water, looked at Zhao Yun who was observing the terrain in front and asked, "Fourth uncle, let's get there now." ”

"The front is almost to the White Emperor City, and when I came, the prime minister also told me that if Your Majesty loses the war, he will retreat here, and then wait for me to bring the army to support, and then rely on the terrain to fight a counterattack with Dongwu."

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he pointed to the terrain in front of him and then explained to Liu Chan: "You see that it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is high and steep, so it is a good place to defend and counterattack. ”

Liu Chan listened carefully to Zhao Yun's explanation, and looked at the direction of Zhao Yun's finger There is indeed a looming city, although it is not as majestic as Chengdu City, but it is particularly spectacular to stand out a city on such a high and steep terrain.

"White Emperor City?" Liu Chan seems to have thought of this term from the memory of his previous life. But he is not familiar with history, so naturally he can't think of anything.

At this moment, groups of people with burdens on their shoulders on the official road in the direction of White Emperor City ran towards this side in a panic, including some old people, women and children.

Zhao Yun also saw these people, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly got on his horse and beckoned the soldiers to rush over.

Seeing the army rushing towards this side, the people, who were already afraid of the army, now trembled and knelt in the grass on both sides of the road in front of them, not daring to get up.

"Everyone, hurry up, we are the army of the Han Kingdom, what happened ahead?"

Zhao Yun hurriedly dismounted while asking and helped the people up, and when the people heard that it was the Han ** team and knew that it was their own people, they were stunned, and then cried even more aggrieved.

At this time, an old man in ragged clothes came from the crowd, wiped his red and swollen eyes with the sleeves of his already greasy coarse cloth, and choked up: "It's coming, it's coming from Jiangdong." Woo, the home is gone, and the crops are ruined. The men in the village have gone to the battlefield, and we women and children are left to live! ”

When Zhao Yun heard the cries of the people, he was shocked: What! His Majesty's 100,000 army was actually defeated, and he let Dongwu cross the river! Did the White Emperor City hold it!

Then he looked at the people who were crying on the side of the road, and hurriedly comforted: "Fellow villagers, you have suffered, don't cry first, go to the mountain in front of you to take shelter." We're going to help. After speaking, he directly led the army in the direction of White Emperor City.

Looking at the terrified people, crying children, panicked women and choked old people along the way, Liu Chan actually felt a little sore in his heart, although he was a killer, but he never hurt these innocent and kind people.

All the people want is a safe and stable home, but in this troubled world, the brutal war is not only creating famous generals and strategists. At the same time, it is also hurting these innocent people, which is really a success.

At this time, he suddenly wanted to do something for these people, but when he first came to this world, he could not even predict his own life, let alone help others. Thinking of this, Liu Chan patted the horse under him fiercely, and followed the army towards the White Emperor City.
