Mid-April, 184 AD.
Huben Zhonglang General Chen Zhan and North Zhonglang General Lu Zhi set up an ambush outside Guangzong City. In one battle, they killed more than 40,000 Yellow Turbans and three generals.
When this news was sent back to Luoyang, Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, was overjoyed and immediately sent Zuo Feng to express his condolences.
However, for some unknown reason, the Spirit Monarch had also given Zuo Feng the position of Military Supervisor.
Even though he was stopped by several ministers, he was unable to make the Spirit Monarch take back the order.
At the same time, on the other two main battlefields.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Rong were still outside Changshe City, confronting the Yellow Turbans of Bocai Tribe.
As for Zhang Mancheng's troops in Wan City, they were blocked south of the Luo River by General He Jin, the North Army's 5th Battalion, and the left and right Royal Guards.
As for the other provinces and counties, there were also small-scale Yellow Turban rebellions from time to time.
Some were quickly suppressed, while others fled everywhere, burning, killing, looting, attacking cities, and committing all kinds of evil.
In less than three months, the population of the Great Han Dynasty had been reduced by nearly a layer, and countless lesser families had been massacred.
He had completely disappeared in the rolling river of history.
However, due to various reasons, this situation did not attract the attention of the court.
……
Guangzong, the camp of the Han army.
"Shoujiang, let me toast you with this cup of wine. Thank you for your help these past few days.”
In the main tent, Lu Zhi made an exception and poured himself a glass of wine. He raised his glass and thanked Chen Zhan.
Ever since the ambush that night that killed tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, Chen Zhan's cavalry from western Liaoning had been attacking continuously for the past few days, robbing the Yellow Turban army's grain and baggage several times in succession.
This greatly reduced the pressure on Lu Zhi.
"General Chen, this general also offers you a toast.”
"To General Chen!"
On the left, Lu Zhi's subordinates led by Zong Yuan also raised their cups to Chen Zhan.
"Thank you, Brother Zigan and all the generals.”
Faced with such hospitality, Chen Zhan naturally would not refuse. After raising his glass in response, he drank it all in one gulp.
"Hahaha, General is indeed bold!”
Chen Zhan's actions immediately made the generals in the tent praise him.
"General Chen, let me toast you as well. Thank you for your care these days.”
"And me!"
At this moment, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan also stood up to toast Chen Zhan.
"Brother Liu De and Brother Bo Gui are too polite. Calling me General is too distant, you can just call me by my name.”
Chen Zhan replied with a faint smile.
"Alright, then I'll be bold enough to call you Brother Shoujiang.”
"It's better to obey than to be respectful. Then Zan won't be polite with Brother Shoujiang.”
After Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan finished speaking, the three of them looked at each other and smiled. They raised their glasses and drank together.
For a moment, the tent was filled with cheers and laughter. The atmosphere was very happy.
However, in the military camp, after everyone had a little fun, they stopped drinking and maintained an absolutely sober state.
Lu Zhi stopped after drinking a cup. Seeing that everyone was so happy and restrained themselves, he did not stop them.
He had the intention of giving the sect members a chance to relax by hosting this banquet.
……
"My Lord, an envoy has arrived from Luoyang.”
The next day, Chen Zhan was taking a nap in his tent. When he heard Ada's words, he instantly opened his eyes.
"Alright, I got it!"
After replying indifferently, Chen Zhan stood up unhurriedly, tidied up his appearance, and walked out of the tent.
He had already received news of the imperial court sending an envoy the day before yesterday.
He also knew more about the situation.
As for Ah Da, after dealing with the arrogant Little Yellow Sect, he returned to Chen Zhan's side.
……
"Hmph, what's wrong with Chen Zhan? Why hasn't he come over to see me? Could it be that he doesn't put me in his eyes?？”
From afar, Chen Zhan heard a strange voice. It was like a duck, sharp and ear-piercing.
The one who spoke was a pale-faced eunuch. He looked rather gentle and beautiful, comparable to some young hunks.
Lu Zhi and the others around him had ugly expressions, and their eyes were filled with anger.
Obviously, he was angered by the pretty eunuch.
"General Chen has important matters to attend to.”Lu Zhi said indifferently with a cold face.
He was very dissatisfied with the imperial court sending an ignorant eunuch to supervise the army, so he naturally did not hold back.
"Important task? I came with His Majesty's decree. What could be more important than this?”
The young eunuch sneered and brought up Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, leaving Lu Zhi speechless.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded,""This general is here. May I know why the Military Supervisor wants to see me?”
Buzz!
Following the voice was a terrifying aura that seemed to freeze the entire void.
Step, step, step…
Amidst the dull footsteps, a slender figure in black armor appeared in everyone's sight.
As for the arrogant eunuch, his face was blank and filled with fear.
In his eyes, Chen Zhan was like a prehistoric beast. Behind him was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. A terrifying fiendish aura enveloped him like a black cloud.
"Gulp!"
Unconsciously, the young eunuch's throat rolled, and his back was covered in cold sweat.
The soldiers who came with him were so scared that they did not even dare to breathe.
"I'm Chen Zhan. May I know what decree Your Majesty has?”
As Chen Zhan spoke again, the intimidating aura instantly dissipated, causing the young eunuch and the others to involuntarily heave a sigh of relief.
The little eunuch looked at Chen Zhan with fear and lowered his head. He said respectfully,
"His Majesty ordered the General to immediately head to Wan City to suppress the Yellow Turban rebels, Zhang Mancheng, and the others.”
"Chen Zhan, obey!"
Chen Zhan frowned slightly, but he still pretended to receive the edict.
Lu Zhi, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, and the others also frowned when they heard Emperor Ling's order.
If Chen Zhan left, wouldn't the various plans they had previously come up with be ruined by more than half?？
However, it was useless to think about it anymore.
"Sigh…"
Lu Zhi sighed helplessly. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He felt extremely stifled and wanted to vomit blood.
When Liu Bei and the others heard this, they all felt the same way.
They all felt as if their blood had been extinguished.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little depressing and a little desolate.
The young eunuch secretly glanced at him. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he still lowered his head and pretended not to know anything.
