The craze of the Yellow Turban Uprising swept across the entire Divine Prefecture, and Emperor Ling of Han hurriedly took countermeasures. This included using talented people from all walks of life. And it was during this opportunity that I was appointed by the Imperial Court as a commandant. I led my 15,000 troops to Yingchuan to join the battle to suppress the Yellow Turban Army. My marching speed isn't very fast. It's not that I'm afraid, but if I go to Yingchuan now, it won't be a good thing for me. Right now, the Yellow Turban Army was in high morale. Even if your official army was well-equipped and commanded properly, you would still be defeated in front of the Yellow Turban Army with high morale. I'd better let General Huangfu and General Zhu engage in a battle of attrition with the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan. I'll go on stage when the time comes. Some people said,"You're really sinister. I say, this soldier is originally a swindler. I still have to consider for the future!" Every man for himself was the devil. Besides, my family background isn't very rich. For a pragmatic person like me, I won't waste my family background for such a useless reputation. Therefore, without affecting the morale of the troops, I gave them sufficient rest while advancing.

On this day, I will lead the army to the Yingchuan area. This place is already very close to the battlefield. I ordered the troops to send out a small group to guard the area before the main group moved forward. At this moment, a report came from the front. There were two suspicious people resting at the intersection.

"What's so suspicious about two people resting?" I asked.”"Although the two of them look like they are resting, their eyes have been looking at the intersection where we came from. It seems like they are waiting for someone."”

"Ugh…then what do these two people look like?”The scout said," One of them is in his forties, and the other is in his twenties. However, they don't look like unreasonable people. They are dressed like scholars. They have long beards, but their eyes are sharp.”

I nodded and praised,"Not bad, you're very observant."”I looked back at the generals and said,"Let's go!" Follow me to take a look." Everyone cupped their hands in agreement and accompanied me in the direction of the two of them.

When we reached the two of them, we found that the vanguard had already surrounded them. However, what was surprising was that these two seemingly powerless people actually turned a blind eye to this group of wolf-like soldiers. The two of them were still resting there leisurely. They did not feel anything at all. They did not even open their eyes.

I looked at the two of them who were beaten up and whispered to Zhang Fei,"Yi De, go and greet the two gentlemen. Remember that the two gentlemen's ears are not very sharp, so you need to speak louder. Do you understand?" Zhang Fei was so beautiful that he opened his mouth wide. He walked in front of the two of them and took a deep breath. He dared to shout, but I hurriedly said,"Wait!" I hurriedly covered my ears with the others and pointed at their ears. Zhang Fei understood and turned around to shout at the two of them," Two... Seniors...Xiao...Zhangs..." This shout was like a thunderclap in the sky. The two people on the ground seemed to be electrocuted as they flew to Zhang Fei. They hurriedly covered their mouths. However, Zhang Fei threw him to the ground like a ball of cotton.

When I saw this, I quickly pretended to shout,"Zhang Fei, how can you be rude to these two gentlemen!”Zhang Fei said innocently,"Zhang…" The two of them got up from the ground with a whoosh and hurriedly covered Zhang Fei's mouth."General, you're welcome!" I quickly saluted the two of them and said,"I'm not strict with my discipline. I've frightened the two of you." Zhang Fei, hurry up and apologize to Sir! The two of them said in unison,"Don't be alarmed. We're fine."”

I smiled and said,"The two of you…" One of them quickly said,"I'm sorry.""Commandant Cao, don't laugh anymore. My name is Xi Zhicai, and this is Mr. Cheng Yu.”

I was so happy in my heart. The two of them were not ordinary people. They were famous for being good at strategy under Cao Cao. "Greetings, gentlemen."”Cheng Yu said,"Commandant Cao, you're indeed a better chess player. We've both learned from you."”I smiled awkwardly.”

Xi Zhicai stepped forward and said,"Mr. Cheng and I are here for nothing else." However, there were some things that he wasn't clear about, so he wanted to verify it with Commandant Cao.”I quickly said,"I dare not. Please speak, sir."”

Cheng Yu walked up to me and said,"Commandant Cao, I want to ask you a question.”I hurriedly said,"Why are you two gentlemen treating me as an outsider? Just call me Meng De."”"How can this be?" Cheng Yu said."The etiquette of the court cannot be abolished."”"Even if we don't waste our etiquette, we still have to sit down and have a long talk."”"Then I'll have to trouble Commandant Cao."”"Gentlemen, please calm down. It'll be done in a moment!" I said.”

I walked to the messenger who was standing straight and said,"Blow the horse rest horn!" The messenger immediately blew the conch. With a swooshing sound, the entire army dismounted and sat down on the ground. Then, it was all quiet. My guards immediately set up a temporary fence and set up military tables and chairs.

At this moment, I stretched out my hand and said,"Please, gentlemen!"”I saw the approval in their eyes and their slight nods. They were quite satisfied with my management of the army. "Thank you for your trouble," the two of them quickly said.”After saying that, everyone entered the fence together. I bowed and said,"My army is heading to Yingchuan to attack the Yellow Turban Army. Please teach me!”The two of them exchanged glances before Cheng Yu said,""General, what do you think of the Yellow Turban Uprising?”"This is a natural disaster," I said. Natural disasters were the plague of the world, while man-made disasters were caused by the Imperial Court's lack of motivation to advance, getting close to villains and alienating gentlemen.”

"What do you think of the Yellow Turban Army, General?”"I think they were all forced and innocent.”

"You mean Zhang Jiao too?”"Yes, Zhang Jiao is a very capable person. No matter whether he has ambition or not, he should be put in an important position. This way, he can contribute to the country. However, they could only take the risk. What did that mean? It meant that the world didn't want them to live. If they wanted to live and live well, there was only one way…”

"Then how do you think things will develop?”"The people of the world are in chaos. This is inevitable. But now, the Imperial Court is focusing its energy on attacking the Yellow Turban. I think this corner's days are coming to an end. At that time, the Yellow Turban Uprising was destined to fail. But would the world be peaceful if they failed? The chaos in the world had just begun.”

"Then how do you think we should solve this problem, General?”"My method is to rebuild the mountains and rivers."

The two of them were shocked when they heard this. They exchanged glances with each other and then knelt down."The two of us are willing to join the team and assist the lord in rebuilding the mountains and rivers.”

I quickly helped the two of them up and said,"I have two gentlemen. The world can be settled."”"I didn't disappoint my lord," the two said.”After saying that, I led the two of them to introduce my subordinates.

Cheng Yu said,"So Brother Gongda, you're the first to arrive. It seems that the two of us are late."”Xun You said," My lord has already mentioned you two to me. He said that you two are rare talents, and that you can't wait to meet each other. Today will be good."”

Xi Zhicai asked,"Why isn't Mr. Xun here?"”I sighed.”Xi Zhicai said,"My lord, how about Mister Cheng Yu and I go to the Xun Mansion to invite Mister?"”"That's great," I said.”

I hurriedly wrote a letter for the two of them to take. Just like that, the two of them set off with my special mission. Before they left, Xi Zhicai pulled Zhang Fei's hand and asked,""This general is…?" Zhang Fei held his breath for a long time before he heard a thunderous roar."I am Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide." With this shout, Xi Zhicai hurriedly said,"What a tiger general! Keep your voice down, or I'll be finished!”Everyone laughed. Zhang Fei was about to speak when I said,"I wish the two gentlemen success!" "Why didn't you let him finish his sentence?" Zhang Fei asked.”
