Zhang Chao returned with a full load. To say that things are so successful is indeed an element of luck, but it is more due to careful planning. For this day, Zhang Chao has been preparing for five years, and now he has succeeded, and his efforts have not been in vain.

Compared with Zhang Chao's well-planned, Cao Cao's actions were a little impulsive.

Cao Cao led his army to participate in the allied forces and was stationed in Sour Zao.

Cao Cao saw that all the troops were afraid of the enemy and could not advance, so he led more than 5,000 people and about 20,000 or 30,000 troops such as Bao Xin, Bao Tao and Zhang Miao's general Wei Zi to march into Chenggao. went to Xingyang Bianshui and encountered Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong.

The two sides fought fiercely for a day, Cao Cao and others were defeated, Cao Cao was hit by a stray arrow, and was wounded on a horse. Cao Cao gave up his war horse to Cao Cao from his younger brother Cao Hong, and fled back to Sour Zao by night, Bao Xin was wounded, Bao Tao, Wei Zi and others were killed in battle, and most of the troops lost and left.

Cao Cao saw that there were more than 100,000 troops in the Kwantung region, and he did not want to forge ahead, so he suggested that the armies occupy the key passes, and then divide their troops to attack and disturb the pass. The generals will not listen. Cao Cao and his subordinate general Xiahou raised troops in Yangzhou, got more than 1,000 people, and went north again.

To say that Cao Cao's speed is still very fast, and his eyes are also very vicious, after seeing Luoyang being burned, he judged that Dong Zhuoxi fled, so he led his troops to chase after him, wanting to pick up some cheap.

But who would have thought that Dong Zhuo was going crazy because of the loss of his belongings, and Cao Cao, who was advancing, encountered a large number of enemy troops on the way to pursue.

After another big battle, he was outnumbered, and he escaped with only a few people including Xiahoudun, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Compared with Cao Cao, there was another prince who was also very active, and that was Sun Jian.

Sun Jian, Ziwentai, is a native of Fuchun, Wujun, Yangzhou (Fuyang, Hangzhou, Zhejiang).

Sun Jian himself is very brave and has good combat power. However, because Yuan Shu was selfish, he refused to send food, and was defeated by Dong Zhuo's Huaxiong; Later, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, Sun Jian stationed in Luoyang, and accidentally found the jade seal of the country, so he became selfish and hid the jade seal and returned.

At this point, the rebellion of Cao Cao and Sun Jian died down, and the original anti-alliance formed by the princes of the Seventeenth Route completely collapsed.

Then comes the time to share the fruit. Especially when he saw Dong Zhuo stubbornly defending Chang'an and not coming out, one by one the princes and the so-called heroes began to grab land and stand on their own.

Among them, Yuan Shu was based on Nanyang, Liu Biao was based on Jingzhou, and Gongsun Du was based on Liaodong, and he was the Marquis of Liaodong.

Zhang Chao was at this time, unaware of the ghosts, and returned to Chen Liu without attracting attention.

At this time, Zhang Miao was still on the way to withdraw to Chen Liu. It is worth mentioning that this time, as the victorious coalition side, many people have gained, but Zhang Miao did return in vain.

Speaking of which, I have to talk about Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao has the title of the fourth and third dukes, and since he became the leader of the alliance, he has been arrogant and reckless.

Cao Cao and Bao Xin were both very dissatisfied with this, but they did not dare to speak out, only Zhang Miao condemned Yuan Shao with righteous words.

Yuan Shao was furious, and Cao Cao was the pastor of Yanzhou at that time, and he was the superior of Zhang Miao, who was the Taishou of Chen at the time. Therefore, Yuan Shao instructed Cao Cao to kill Zhang Miao, but Cao Cao had a deep friendship with Zhang Miao and did not do so. But in this way, Zhang Miao has no possibility of promotion.

Zhang Chao didn't know about this, and he was now immersed in excitement.

Originally, Zhang Chao, who returned to Chenliu, was ready to keep a low profile for a while, after all, this time he secretly picked up such a big bargain, collected talents, and swallowed a full 500 cars, equivalent to three-quarters of the country's property, and sent the main troops out.

It can be said that he has achieved great success, and it can even be said that no one in the entire Dong Alliance has gained more than him, which should have been a time of satisfaction. never thought that there would be surprises waiting for him after returning to Chen Liu.

This time, Zhang Chao did not participate in the Dong Alliance on the grounds that his father-in-law was under Dong Zhuo's rule, and because the soldiers trained by his subordinates were suffering from the plague. But his brother Zhang Miao did participate. At that time, in order to ensure the safety of his brother, he deliberately arranged for Zhang Rui to bring the capable Zhang Jiajun as an escort.

It was such an idea of protecting his brother that brought him unexpected gains.

Just after Zhang Chao returned to Chenliu when it was dark, Bai Tong and Lu Su had just welcomed him back to the city, and on the way, he heard the names of two people who he had been looking for, but could not find.

The news was told to him by Bai Tong. At that time, I saw Bai Tong say like this, "Second son, you have to talk about Zhang Rui when you go back, you gave him the right to temporarily and arbitrarily recruit talents, now it's okay, he actually recruited two wine barrels, you don't know." As soon as these two came to Chenliu, they were drunk every day. I cherished them as talents, and when I saw that they appeared in your earliest recruitment list, I served them with good wine and food, and even took out a treasured overlord to get drunk. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Tong's face couldn't help but change: "But who would have thought that these two barrels are too good to drink, and they actually drank more than half of the overlord drunk in your inventory, and I will replace them with hero drunk, how do you know that the two of them are really gone, and they are in the house every day, which really makes people can't even sleep well." ”

"Oh, how can anyone drink like that?" For the overlord drunk, Zhang Chao can't understand it, such a high level of wine, ordinary people can still drink it twice once in a while, but if it is said to be a regular drink, I am afraid that the body will not be able to bear it. But the fact that these two men were able to eat half of the stock shows how much they were drinking.

"They, one is a sergeant found by Zhang Rui in Zhang Miao's Taishou military camp, named Dian Wei, and the other is even more ridiculous, it was encountered by the members of Tianyan on the way to send Dian Wei back to Chenliu, I heard that the two fought for a long time, regardless of victory or defeat, and then they were invited together, named Xu Chu." Bai Tong smiled bitterly as he spoke, these two living treasures didn't know how they appeared in Zhang Chao's recruitment list, if they were really talents, would their abilities not be discovered?

"Dian Wei? Xu Chu? Zhang Chao was overjoyed when he heard this.

If it weren't for the fact that too many talents have been recruited recently, I am afraid that this meeting will be exciting again.

These two people are the talents of ten thousand enemies. It can be said that they are synonymous with the ultimate bodyguard, and with these two people, Zhang Chao is safe and worry-free.

Just like Sima Hui, who is known as "Mr. Water Mirror", once said that Wolong and Phoenix Chick can settle the world if they get one. Na Dian Wei and Xu Chu can be safe.

For these two people, Zhang Chao only remembers their names, not their history. So it's very difficult to find. He even thought that if he could get one, it would be enough. But I didn't think about it, or I couldn't find it, and if I found it, it was two, which was really blessed by God.

"Hehe, Tong'er, you don't know anything, these are two great talents, with them, you can worry about my safety in the future." Zhang Chao, who was excited to say this to Bai Tong, became a little anxious, he really wanted to see the dignity of these two.

"So powerful?" After hearing Zhang Chao's evaluation, Bai Tong also believed a little. Since it has always been, Zhang Chao's words have rarely been wrong.

"Of course, it's just more powerful than you think. By the way, where are they, take me to see it. Zhang Chao really couldn't help but want to see the two.

"Ahh They must have been asleep this time. It's hard to fall asleep, and once you wake up, you want to drink and eat, how is it good? Bai Tong said with a changed face.

"Okay, don't call them yet, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Zhang Chao nodded, he was a little tired from rushing back all the way, it was better to have a good night's sleep. Anyway, people can't run away when they come.

Lu Su, who was in charge of defending the city, hurriedly arranged for 500 light cavalry to follow Zhang Chao back, and dozens of wounded sergeants were sent to Hua Tuo's courtyard as soon as possible.

After such a long time, Hua Tuo's medical skills have been recognized by everyone. Now he is very lively every day, but whoever is uncomfortable with his identity will think of him for the first time. As a result, the patient was like snow in the mountains, and Dr. Hua gave up the idea of leaving.

At Zhang Chao's suggestion, dozens of Zhang Jiajun's brothers who were interested in medical skills also began to learn. According to Zhang Ergongzi's statement, that is, the army in the future needs to have a military doctor with the army, so that the casualties can be better reduced and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on the battlefield can be improved.

Zhang Chao, who had been traveling overnight for several days, was indeed a little tired, and this sleep was until the next morning. When he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw his godsister Diao Chan standing on the edge of the bed with two maids.

Diao Chan came to the Second Prince's Mansion, and first thought that she was going to take care of Zhang Chao, but who would have thought that when people saw her for the first time, she recognized her godsister, which made her position so embarrassing. Diao Chan, who is not used to eating food that comes from the mouth, and does not like to be pointed at, will choose to take care of Zhang Chao's diet and daily life when he is free.

This morning, I heard that my eldest brother was back, so I hurried over. Bai Tong was in charge of the diet, and she came to wait for Zhang Chao to get up.

After waking up and seeing that the person in front of him was Diao Chan, Zhang Chao said with a smile: "Sister, I got up so early, why don't you sleep for a while?" I've heard that getting a little more sleep is good for your skin. ”

Diao Chan, who was accustomed to Zhang Chao's way of speaking, smiled and said: "Second brother is making fun of me again, I have nothing to do every day, I go to bed very early at night, don't you wake up earlier in the morning?" I am no better than you men, who go into battle and do great things. ”

"Hey, sister, don't say that, don't you know that heroes love the country and love beauties more? With a peerless appearance like your sister, there will definitely be a big hero who will take a fancy to you, and at that time, your attraction will be higher than one, or even ten, cities. ”

Zhang Chaoyue said this, Diao Chan smiled more and more, "Okay, second brother, don't make fun of me, Xian face water is coming, it's still warm, you get up and change your clothes first." ”

"Hahaha." Zhang Chao is only up to the point. He didn't say it casually, he had a plan for a long time, and it would soon come true.
