"Look, General Chen Zhan has returned.”
"So many warhorses. It seems that the general has eliminated many enemies this time.”
"Wow, those cavalrymen are so impressive. I've decided to join the army tomorrow.”
"Brother, let's go together!"
At the Lulong Fortress, seeing the return of Chen Zhan's army, countless citizens spontaneously stood on both sides of the city to welcome them.
Everyone's faces were filled with pride and a sense of security.
"Congratulations on your victory, General!"
"Congratulations on your victory, General!"
“……”
As the army approached, all the people cheered, and the deafening sound resounded inside and outside the fortress.
"Thank you, fellow villagers!”
At the front of the army, Chen Zhan was riding a tall black horse. He cupped his hands to both sides with a smile.
Seeing the honest smiles on the faces of the commoners and their support for him, he could not help but feel proud and satisfied.
He felt that everything he did was worth it.
'Border Guard' was Chen Zhan's character. It was given by his father in this life, meaning to guard the border.
Now, Chen Zhan had indeed done this. He believed that if his father in the underworld knew, he would be gratified.
Under the gaze of the commoners, all the soldiers straightened their backs and rode on their horses with serious expressions, making them look even more heroic and majestic.
This awe-inspiring side made countless young people envious. They secretly decided that they would become one of them in the future.
There were also some girls whose faces were slightly red as they imagined the appearance of their future husbands.
……
"General, an urgent report came from Willow City not long ago.”
"Yes, what's the situation on Xu Rong's side?”
In Chen Zhan's tent, Guan Yu, Chen Qingzhi, and the other generals were all present. The one who spoke was Gao Shun, who was guarding Lulong Fortress.
Hearing Chen Zhan's question, Gao Shun replied neither humbly nor arrogantly,
"According to the messenger, the Three Wuhuan Princes led thirty thousand cavalry to attack Liu City. They fought for several hours, but they were all blocked by General Xu Rong.”
"After that, when the Wuhuan army was unprepared, General Xu Rong personally led two thousand cavalry to launch a sneak attack and beheaded more than three thousand of them.”
"Not bad!" "I didn't expect Xu Rong to be so bold this time. He actually took the initiative to launch a sneak attack."”
"It's indeed very rare!"
Guan Yu stroked his long beard and revealed a surprised smile.
"Hehe, General Xu Rong is usually like an old turtle, but this time, I have a whole new level of respect for him.”
Zhang Fei said casually. If Xu Rong was here, he would definitely not be able to resist slashing him.
"Yi De, be careful that Xu Rong will beat you up at night when he finds out.”
Chen Zhan smiled knowingly. Although Zhang Fei's words were not pleasant to hear, they were also to the point.
In terms of who was the number one city defender in the world, Chen Zhan felt that it was Xu Rong.
Although Xu Rong wasn't very famous, in the official history, he was a fierce person who defeated Sun Jian and Cao Cao.
However, he had a weakness, which was that he was not very good at fighting outside the city.
Chen Zhan continued," I didn't expect the Three Wuhuan Kings to make a move this time. It seems like the situation on the plains is worse than we thought."”
The Three Kings of Wuhuan were Nanlou, Supuyan, and Wuting. Their status in the Wuhuan was second only to Chief Qiu Liju.
However, in the past, these three rarely plundered the Great Han border.
"There's been a lot of snow this year. There must be many cows and sheep frozen to death on the grasslands. I reckon they really can't endure it anymore.”
Zhang Liao said indifferently.
The nomads mainly relied on cattle and sheep to survive. Once winter came, they would go to the border of the Han Dynasty to graze.
Just like planting crops, he would come and harvest them once a year.
However, ever since Chen Zhan's rise, the Wuhuan people at the border of Youzhou would not invade unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, this year's cold weather was one that was rarely seen in ten years, forcing the Wuhuan people to go all out.
"Forget it, let's not bother about the Wuhuan people for now. With Qiu Liju dead and the Chanyu's position vacant, they will probably be in chaos for a while.”
Chen Zhan tapped his fingers on the table and looked at Guan Yu and the others. He said in a deep voice,""In recent years, the atmosphere within the Great Han Dynasty has become more and more strange.”
"If nothing unexpected happens, something will happen soon. Next, the few of you should try your best to increase your strength.”
" An unforeseen event??"
Hearing this, Guan Yu and the others 'hearts tightened. They did not doubt Chen Zhan's words at all.
This also made them unable to help but be curious about what the unforeseen event that Chen Zhan mentioned would be.
Even Chen Zhan, whom they regarded as the God of War, was so cautious.
"Don't think too much. You'll know when the time comes.”
Seeing through everyone's thoughts, Chen Zhan directly pointed it out and then looked at Chen Qingzhi."
"Ziyun, go to the recruit camp later and see if there are any suitable soldiers. Try to fill up the White Robe Army as soon as possible.”
He was looking forward to the battle prowess of the full white robed army.
"Alright, everyone can leave!"
"Here!"
The generals looked at each other, bowed, and left the tent.
After they left, a black shadow suddenly appeared and knelt on one knee in front of Chen Zhan.
"An Yi greets my lord!"
"Get up and talk. How's the news about the Road of Peace?”
"My Lord, the Road of Peace has been preparing for an uprising on the 15th day of the third month under the orders of the great sage teacher, Zhang Jiao.”
Dark One stood up respectfully and lowered his head.""They plan to divide the believers into thirty-six groups and set up thirty-six leaders.
At that time, they would listen to Zhang Jiao's orders and launch a rebellion from Youji, Bingqing, and the other seven provinces.”
Chen Zhan's brows furrowed slightly before relaxing." Alright, I got it. Continue to pay attention to the news from the Road of Peace. Report to me immediately if there are any changes.”
"Yes, Master!"
Just like when he came, Dark One disappeared like a cloud of black mist.
Dark One was the leader of the Dark Group under Chen Zhan, who was in charge of intelligence. The Dark Group was secretly established by Chen Zhan and had been around for eight years.
In addition, Chen Zhan had a Shadow Department by his side, which was responsible for guarding and assassinating.
The Dark and Shadow Departments were one of Chen Zhan's trump cards.
"It's still the 60th year of the lunar calendar, no different from what I remembered. If I'm not mistaken, Tang Zhou will tell on us next month, forcing Zhang Jiao to start the uprising in advance.”
"The sky is about to change!"
Walking out of the tent, Chen Zhan raised his head to look at the sky. The wind and clouds were changing, and a storm was faintly approaching.
Then, he mounted his horse and headed straight for the mansion.
