" By the will of the heavens, the emperor issued an edict saying: General Chen Zhan has been guarding the border for eleven years. He has resisted the enemy several times and killed the Wuhuan Chanyu Qiu Liju.
I am very happy to have made contributions to the country and the people in the border areas.”
"Today, Chen Zhan will be conferred the title of General of the Tiger Troop. He will immediately lead his troops to the Central Plains to suppress the rebellion.”
"Chen Zhan receives the decree to thank you!"
Chen Zhan took the imperial edict from the hands of the Little Yellow Sect and quietly stuffed a stack of silver notes into his hands.
Instantly, the former's impatient expression disappeared and became a beaming smile.
It was freezing in western Liaoning. It was not easy for him to come here. He had many complaints in his heart, but these banknotes were enough to comfort him.
"Congratulations on your promotion, General! This time, General Jian was in the emperor's heart. As long as he could successfully suppress the rebellion, he would definitely be able to soar in the future.”
Little Yellow Door smiled and flattered him,"When I came out, Eunuch Zhang asked me to send his regards to the general.”
"Oh, thank you, Eunuch Zhang. Please send my regards to Eunuch Zhang when you return.”
Chen Zhan had a smile on his face, but in his heart, he was cursing Zhang Rang for being greedy.
Asking for benefits was the real deal.
However, being able to be conferred the title of Tiger Troop Lieutenant General this time was beyond his expectations.
Furthermore, Guan Yu and the others were also rewarded. Zhang Rang had indeed contributed a lot.
In this day and age, there was no one in the imperial court. It was even harder to get promoted and make a fortune than to ascend to the heavens.
"General, don't worry. I will definitely pass on the message.”"The imperial edict has been delivered to the general. I'll return to Luoyang to report my mission."”
"Alright, Gonggong, take your time!"
Chen Zhan pretended to be friendly. After sending the Little Yellow Sect away, his expression instantly turned cold.
A mere Little Yellow Sect dared to show off in front of him and give him a face. They really did not know what was good for them.
"Ah Da, take a few brothers and follow them. Find an opportunity to destroy them.”
"Here!"
Behind Chen Zhan, a burly man dressed as a guard responded.
The names of the Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun were very simple. They were arranged from Ah Da to Ah Er, all the way to Eighteen.
Usually, in order to not attract attention, they would dress up as guards and follow behind Chen Zhan, rotating in groups of three.
These characters rewarded by the system were all 100% loyal to Chen Zhan.
……
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that I would also be a military commander with a rank higher than Thousand Stones!”
"This time, the Imperial Court is truly generous.”
"Ju Yi cheers to General, thank you for your promotion!”
"We would also like to congratulate the lord/general for being promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General of the Tiger Troop.”
In the Lulong camp, Chen Zhan sat on the main seat with a golden knife in his hand. He set up a banquet to entertain Guan Yu and the others. It was also the last meal before the expedition.
The atmosphere in the tent was cheerful, and everyone's faces were full of smiles.
Guan Yu and Cheng Yaojin had been in the army for the longest time and had made the most contributions. They were given the rank of lieutenant, while the others were either generals or officers.
One had to know that Sun Jian, who was known as the Tiger of River East, was only a former commander.
From this, it could be seen that Qiu Liju's head was quite valuable.
"Here, I also want to thank everyone. Cheers!”
Chen Zhan replaced the wine with tea and gestured to the generals before directly downing it.
"The imperial court's commendation this time is just a small matter. Suppressing the Yellow Turban rebellion next is the most important thing.”
"Who among you is willing to stay behind?”
Hearing this, Guan Yu and the others looked at each other, but none of them said anything.
Clearly, they all wanted to fight with Chen Zhan.
The Yellow Turban rebellion was a disaster for ordinary people, but for generals like them, it was a once-in-a-century opportunity.
Obtaining military merits and becoming a minister was the ultimate dream of everyone in this era.
"Hey, if it were up to me, we'd all go.”Zhang Fei chewed on a pig leg and shouted.
Only he could say such words.
"I think you should stay in Liaoxi alone. The others should follow me!”
"Cough cough, don't. General, I was wrong. I will shut up.”
After being glanced at by Chen Zhan, Zhang Fei immediately apologized loudly and shut up obediently.
Chen Zhan couldn't be bothered with such a troublesome person. He swept his gaze across everyone and thought for a moment before saying in a deep voice,
"Ziyun, Yunzhang, Juyi, and Yide will follow me to suppress the Yellow Turbans.”
"Yaojin, continue to guard Xuantu and prevent the Three Hans of Fuyu from causing trouble.”
"Wen Yuan, Gao Shun, I'll leave Liaoxi to you two. Be careful of the Wuhuan people's retaliation.”
After Chen Zhan finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun immediately stood up.
"Don't worry, my lord. I, Old Cheng, will definitely keep an eye on those guys.”
"General, don't worry. If anything is lost, this subordinate will bring his head to see you.”
"I will obey your orders."
"Good!"
Chen Zhan nodded. He was still relatively at ease with these three people.
Then, he looked at the other four." I only want to bring 10,000 soldiers to the Central Plains this time.”
"Ziyun will lead 3,000 White Robe soldiers, Juyi will lead 2,000 Death Soldiers, and Yunzhang and Yide will lead 5,000 Lulong Cavalry.”
"Here!"
……
There were more than ten thousand people, like mountains and seas.
The ten thousand cavalry set out with an incomparably terrifying momentum. It was vast and boundless.
Such a huge commotion quickly attracted the attention of countless commoners.
" The general is going out again!?"
"I heard that there was a rebellion in the Central Plains. General, you should have been ordered to suppress it.”
"The other places have become more and more chaotic these years. Fortunately, we have the general's protection.”
"Congratulations on your triumphant return, General!”
"Congratulations on your triumphant return, General!”
Hearing the blessings behind him, Chen Zhan turned around and took a look. Then, he raised his spear and shouted,
"Let's go!"
