Chapter 4: Confused Time and Space
Zhang An tightened the cloth clothes on his body, took a sip of hot water, and sighed comfortably.
He looked at the yellow leaves all over the ground and fell into deep thought.
It has been nearly a month since he came to this plausible era in his impression, but Zhang An still has no clue about his task.
He lowered his head and rubbed the back of his right hand gently.
Since coming here, the scroll that Huang gave him had turned into a vague imprint on the back of his right hand, and Zhang An couldn't make the scroll move even though he tried his best.
And the strangest thing is my current situation.
After a big fight between Lu Bu and Zhao Yun that day, he took the seriously injured Zhang An back to the Cao Jun camp, and then took him back to his temporary mansion in Xiangyang, but he didn't kill or let go, and he didn't care.
Yes, you read that right, Cao Ying.
Lu Bu is now the number one general under Cao Cao.
After coming here for almost a month, Zhang An's only gain was probably to figure out the situation here.
It seems that Lu Bu has ordered the subordinates of the mansion, Zhang An can move without hindrance in Lu Bu's mansion, and even the study can come and go at will.
Stumbling through the books and slips that are different from the fonts of later generations, coupled with various temptations and side knocks when chatting with the servants on weekdays, Zhang An finally has a clearer understanding of the world.
Different from the Three Kingdoms that he is familiar with, there have been several more important changes in this world.
The first is Lu Bu, who has now become Zhang An's rice grain supply, and Cao Cao, the lord of Cao Jun.
In the original history, Lu Bu was a mercenary and two-faced person.
But here, when Dong Zhuo sent Li Su to persuade Lu Bu, Lu Bu not only did not agree, but also drew his sword and killed Li Su on the spot, and informed Ding Yuan.
The angry Ding Yuan led his army to attack Dong Zhuo the next day, but he was shot by a stray arrow during the melee and died on the spot.
When the commander died, Ding Yuanjun fell into chaos, but fortunately, Lu Bu turned the tide and fought his way out with the remnants.
After finding a hill to rest for a while, Lu Bu heard that the princes of the world had jointly raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, so he led his army to participate in the alliance.
In this battle, Lu Bu killed Hua Xiong with one move, and conquered the Tiger Prison Pass in one day, and all the princes of the world were shocked by his bravery.
After the coalition forces invaded Luoyang, they fell apart for their own interests, only Cao Cao led his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, but he was defeated in an ambush, but was rescued by Lu Bu, who followed closely and wanted to kill Dong Zhuo to avenge him.
Lu Bu felt that he could not support the supply of the remnants of the state alone, and Cao Cao was the only prince who pursued Dong Zhuo, so after a little consideration, he led the army to Cao Cao's command.
This means that Cao Cao not only accepted Lu Bu, the world's number one general, but also Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals.
At the same time, it also means that when Cao Cao attacks Xuzhou, there will be no more situations where Lu Bu attacks his own foundation Yanzhou.
And in this world, Cao Cao's old father was obediently taken back by Cao Cao to retire and was not killed, so Cao Cao did not kill when he conquered Xuzhou.
Cao Cao's entry into Xuzhou was very smooth, but poor Liu Bei had just gotten Xuzhou and had not covered the heat, so he ran away in embarrassment.
Chen Gong and Zhang Miao also remained honestly under Cao Cao.
With a lot of original constraints, Cao Cao was like a son of destiny, and his expeditions were unusually smooth.
Punish Dong Zhuo, destroy Yuan Shao, swallow Yuan Shu, occupy Xuzhou, conquer Wancheng, Cao Cao almost included the world in just a few years.
And just some time ago, Cao Cao defeated Liu Biao again, and at this time, many princes in the world were gone, only Liu Bei, who had been running away, Sun Ce, who was not assassinated for some reason, and Liu Zhang Zhang Lu in Shudi, Ma Teng Han Sui in Liangzhou, and a few others.
Cao Cao's personality and style are basically the same as in his previous life, and the only subtlety is that Cao Cao in this time and space only has ambitions and hegemony in his heart, and is not close to women.
Therefore, the battle of Wancheng did not happen those dirty things, Dian Wei, Cao Ang and others all survived.
There is also a small difference, which is Guo Jia.
Originally, Guo Jia should have died of illness after the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan, but Guo Jia was still alive in this time and space, and he still shined in those battles that he had not participated in.
There are Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and other strategists.
Wu has Lu Bu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Wuziliang and other generals.
Compared with another time and space, Cao Cao's strength and luck in this time and space are already against the sky.
It is no wonder that Cao Cao's reunification plan went so smoothly.
At this time, Cao Cao was training the sailors in high spirits, and was ready to wait until the sailors were trained before they marched in a big way to destroy the Sun-Liu coalition army in one fell swoop.
During the period of training the sailors, Lu Bu received an order to eliminate Liu Biao's remnants, so he was out for nearly a month and did not return to the mansion.
So after Lu Bu commanded the soldiers to carry Zhang An into the mansion, Zhang An never saw Lu Bu again.
Lu Bu was so busy that he couldn't touch the ground, Zhang An was relieved, he just hoped that Lu Bu would forget about himself when he was busy.
As for escaping, Zhang An, who recovered from his injuries, naturally had this plan, but unfortunately, when he found out that the guards in Lu Bu's mansion were all elite camps trained by Gao Shun, Zhang An had to give up the idea of slipping away from the mansion.
Then Zhang An excused himself to go out of the house to see if he could find a chance to run away.
He could have walked out of the mansion, but he was followed by four expressionless soldiers in front of him.
Zhang An sighed for a long time, and in the end, he could only put away his thoughts and settled down in the temporary mansion given to Lu Bu by Cao Cao in Xiangyang.
Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, Zhang An didn't even have the idea of leaving the house at all, and every day he just read books and pondered his own affairs in a daze.
When he was recuperating from his injuries, Zhang An would dream of that strange dream every once in a while.
Every time he recalls a dream, Zhang An always feels that his dream is slightly different from his memory, but what is the difference, Zhang An can't say.
This discovery made Zhang An a little uneasy.
Regarding the dialogue with Lu Bu again, Zhang An also thought about how to let Lu Bu let him go, but the total time he had contact with Lu Bu was less than half an hour, and he didn't know anything about Lu Bu's style.
He wanted to ask the soldiers who were trapped, but when he saw those soldiers looking at him with expressionless faces, with a cold appearance that no one could enter, Zhang An had no choice but to give up.
As for the servants in the house, almost all of them are local people in Xiangyang, and the number of conversations with Lu Bu is estimated to be less than Zhang An.
Maybe he thinks too much and his ideas are too complicated, but he can't find a proper way to solve it, and he doesn't even have anyone who can tell his heart.
After a difficult period of time, about a month and a half after Zhang An came to this node, Lu Bu finally completed the task and could rest for a while.
Zhang An, who was drinking hot water in the backyard in a daze, immediately stood up from the stone bench after hearing the sound of "welcoming the general back to his house" one after another.
He looked around, looking for a place to hide.
But soon he sat back down.
This mansion is so big, and there are guards guarding it all around, where can he hide?
It's better to face Lu Bu happily.
As for the outcome, that's up to fate.
A moment later, Lu Bu walked to the backyard in ordinary clothes.
"I thought you had run away. Lu Bu sat down in front of Zhang An, poured a cup of hot water and drank it.
"I want to run too, but I just can't. Zhang An said very sincerely, "Your mansion is guarded by elite soldiers day and night, and I don't have that ability." ”
Lu Bu smiled and said, "You are honest. ”
Zhang An was silent for a moment and asked, "I wonder when the general is going to kill me?"
Lu Bu raised his glass and drank water slightly, he glanced at Zhang An playfully and said, "Don't say that so-and-so is an unreasonable person, you give a certain reason not to kill you." ”
According to the general routine, Zhang An will start quoting scriptures at this time, talking like a river, and talking endlessly about the general trend of the world, which makes Lu Bu feel shocked, and then bows his head and shouts, "Please teach me, sir." ”
Next, Lu Bu will introduce Zhang An to Cao Cao, and after chatting with Cao Cao casually, Cao Cao will praise him, "Mr. is talented, I can't do it." ”
Since then, he has been promoted to the rank of knight and has reached the pinnacle of life.
However, Zhang An was silent, this time and space is different from the Three Kingdoms he is familiar with, Cao Cao has had a smooth journey, not only has his own strength not suffered a major blow, but is in a state of constant growth, dominating the world has become the general trend, and the original defeat of the Jiangdong War has many uncertain factors, and Zhang An is not sure what will develop next.
Then the question arises, in Zhang An's twenty-six years of life, what has he learned and known, what can help him get out of trouble?
In addition to language and mathematics, politics, history and geography, physics and chemistry, including later hotel management majors.
Zhang An desperately recalled what he had learned, but he was at a loss.
Shallow things Zhang An didn't want to say, he didn't dare to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, even if sitting in front of him was Lu Bu, who was known for his brainlessness.
Wouldn't it be ugly if some loopholes were picked out.
Zhang An didn't dare to say anything that was too advanced, if he was regarded as a heretic by Lu Bu, he was afraid that the end would be even worse.
It seems that what I've learned over the years is useless.
Zhang Anxin sighed, it seems that he can only die like the street boys in the novels he has written.
Eh, wait, codeword?
Zhang An took a deep breath, looked at Lu Bu and said, "I can tell the general a story." ”
"Tell a story?" Lu Bu was interested, "Let's hear it." ”
Zhang An began to think about what story he should say.
Lu Bu is a military general who stands at the pinnacle of an era by force, so Zhang An must do what he likes.
Lu Bu, who is in love and in love, definitely doesn't want to listen to it, and only those battlefield killings are the most interesting to Lu Bu.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang An decided to say the legend of the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
Although some details are no longer clear, the overall framework is still remembered, and it doesn't hurt to modify it yourself.
Zhang An made up his mind, coughed lightly, and began to talk endlessly.
Lu Bu drank water and listened quietly.
After Zhang An said for half an hour, Lu Bu shook his head and said, "It sounds good, but those generals are too boring when they fight." ”
Zhang An was slightly stunned and looked at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu played with the teacup in his hand and said, "In a certain opinion, those are just a group of reckless men who haven't even mastered qi, how can they talk about a generation of heroes?"
Zhang An thought of the visions of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun that he saw before he fell into a coma, and thought thoughtfully.
