The first general of the Three Kingdoms

chapter 61
"This……"

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao hesitated rarely, and only sighed slightly after a while.

"To tell the truth about Xuande, I have already been ordered to wipe out the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou, and eliminate the Yellow Turbans against Luoyang, so it is hard to obey. But I can deserve Xuande, and within February, I will definitely wipe out the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou, and then immediately Let's go to Jizhou and attack Zhangjiao together."

The three brothers Liu Bei are all white at this time, and they don't have any official positions. Naturally, they can't help but hear Cao Cao's words.

But at this time, Cao Cao didn't know why, and suddenly pointed at Wei Tao.

"But Ziyu is different. Although Ziyu also has an official position, he asked for orders to help me. Now if he rushes to Jizhou, it will not be considered a violation of court rules."

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, but Cao Cao didn't give him a chance to refuse.

"I can divide up to [-] troops, and Ziyu's headquarters also has nearly a thousand people. With Ziyu's ability, it should be enough!"

After Cao Cao returned to Changshe, because more than half of the hundred cavalry delivered to him by Wei Tao had been lost, as compensation, he officially assigned all the cavalry to Wei Tao.

It's just because there were a lot of casualties during the breakout, and all the cavalry added up to only more than 150 people.

Strictly speaking, Wei Tao lost a lot this time.

After all, the more than 50 people who were killed or injured were all elites, but fortunately Cao Cao knew that Wei Tao's horses were expensive. Although more than 50 people died, all their good horses were kept, and they just replaced them.

Calculated in this way, although the strength of Wei Tao's headquarters is also lost, it can still increase when other people train.

"Dare to ask Mr. Wei for help."

I have to say that it is indeed Liu Bei. After hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Bei bowed to Wei Tao again.

However, Liu Bei's actions made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind him secretly dissatisfied: Then Cao Mengde is nothing, he is talented and has an official position, but Wei Tao is just a child, why should the eldest brother treat him like this?

"It is Tao's ambition to destroy the Yellow Turban and help the big man. How could Tao not follow?"

Wei Tao is going to assist Cao Cao, but this does not mean that he has to follow Cao Cao all the time.

Just like in history, the Wei family first assisted Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao valued many of his descendants, they were really nothing compared to the generals and advisers under Cao Cao's command.

Why is this so?
In these chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms, one's own strength is the most important, whether it is martial arts or strategy.

After discussion, Cao Cao still wanted to prepare his army in Changsha in order to calm down Yuzhou Yellow Turban as soon as possible, while Wei Tao and Liu Bei rushed to Jizhou.

I have to say that Liu Bei is a very nice person, and talking with him often makes people feel like a spring breeze, and it is no wonder that he will be supported by many generals and advisers in the future.

But in comparison, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei gave Wei Tao a bad impression.

That's all for Guan Yu, with a look of extreme arrogance, he looked down on Wei Tao at all, as if he didn't even want to talk much, but that Zhang Fei would sneer at him from time to time.

More importantly, Zhang Fei always talks about Liu Bei's identity as a clan member of the Han family, and although Liu Bei is kind, he is obviously quite willing to do so.

Along the way, Zhang Feiyan said that this happened no less than ten times.

Wei Tao can understand why this is so.

Liu Guanzhang hoped that he could obey their orders.

This is like a poor person who always subconsciously feels a little inferior when facing a rich person, but also wants to get the approval of the other person, and even let the other person listen to his opinions.

Under such circumstances, it is natural to brag desperately about one's own advantages.

Although they may not really have such intentions, in Wei Tao's view, the behavior of Liu Bei and the three of them at this time is quite similar.

"Ziyu, Lu Zhonglang fought Zhang Jiao at Guangzong, what should we do first?"

As soon as he entered Jizhou, Liu Bei laughed.

"I once studied under Lu Zhonglang, and these soldiers and horses received a lot of help before. Now if we go to his tent to obey orders, we can help them smash the Yellow Turban bandits. It will be a great joy in life to be able to break the Yellow Turban with Ziyu again. .”

"Hmph! Lu Zhonglang's ability is naturally great, but it's unnecessary for you to introduce him. Could it be that Lu Zhonglang is still stingy when my son goes there?"

Perhaps it was because of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's attitudes along the way, Dian Wei was also somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Bei, so he couldn't help but say it at this time.

"That's right, with our achievements in exterminating the Yellow Turbans, even Lu Zhonglang can't be underestimated!"

Even Zhang Liao couldn't help but say something at this time.

In fact, it is not particularly strange for Dian Wei and Zhang Liao to fight back like this.

As the saying goes, Dian Wei and Zhang Liao are actually Wei Tao's retainers now, and one of them is impatient and the other is still young, so naturally they don't want Wei Tao to be humiliated.

The reason why it didn't happen along the way was because Wei Tao hadn't reacted too much, and what he said was mostly his own business, so he shouldn't question it too much.

But Liu Bei regarded Wei Tao as an equal person just now, but it made the two of them unable to bear it any longer.

It is true that the clansmen of the Han Dynasty have a noble status, but after nearly 400 years of development and growth of the Han Dynasty, the clansmen of the Han Dynasty are really countless.

Therefore, in the eyes of Dian Wei and Zhang Liao, Wei Tao, who was already an official and came from the Chenliu family, should actually stand on top of it.

"Hmph! My eldest brother is a clan member of the Han family, and even raised troops to support the Han family and wipe out the Yellow Turbans. Although you are here on invitation, it is not impossible without you!"

"Wide!"

Hearing what Zhang Fei said, Liu Bei stopped immediately, but Zhang Fei ignored it and just finished speaking.

"Brother, what Yide said is right. Brother Liu Junlang, the prefect of Youzhou, has accepted him as his master. This time, he has wiped out many yellow scarf bandits, so don't be too polite to the children of such aristocratic families."

Guan Yu also said at this time.

Hearing what Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said, Liu Bei himself was a little silent, and even shook his head insignificantly.

Only then did Wei Tao understand.

Indeed, if Liu Yan's approval can be obtained, Liu Bei's identity will naturally be very different, so the identities of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's sworn brothers, are also different.

It's no wonder that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were more or less indifferent to Wei Tao, and it could even be said that they looked down upon Wei Tao the other way around.

But I'm afraid Liu Bei's own heart is really clear and clear.

Liu Yan only used the abilities of the three of Liu Bei to resist the Yellow Turban bandits, but he didn't have much thought about making Liu Bei himself recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

This is also the reason why Liu Guanzhang's attitude is very different today.

"Liu Bei is indeed Liu Bei."

At the same time, Wei Tao secretly sighed in his heart.

Regardless of whether Liu Bei used this title to make a name for himself, that alone is enough to make Guan Yu and Zhang Fei return to their hearts.

Both of these two men have the courage to be undeserved!

"The battle in Jizhou is under the command of Lu Zhonglang, so I should go to see him."

Although even if Wei Tao falls out with Liu Bei, he is not afraid, after all, the current strength of the two parties is actually nothing more than equal.

But there was no need for this, so Wei Tao still blocked Dian Wei and Zhang Liao, and on the other hand, Liu Bei also prevented Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from provoking again.

No matter how intentional Wei Tao and Liu Bei are at this time, the relationship between the two parties has clearly split.

Now all the yellow scarves in Jizhou have gathered for the battle between Guangzong and Lu Zhi, so this kind of trip only takes a few days to reach Lu Zhi's camp.

Hearing that it was Wei Tao and Liu Bei who had arrived, although Lu Zhi did not go out of the camp to greet them personally, he immediately invited them into the camp.

"So that's the case, thanks to Ziyu, Xuande, and that Mengde. If not, my two old friends may really lose their lives, and then let the Yellow Turbans threaten Luoyang. Waiting is a heinous crime!"

As soon as he entered the camp, Lu Zhi asked about the battle in Yuzhou, and he breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard that the Changsha camp was set on fire.

"As for Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, they indeed came two days ago and escaped into Guangzong together. Now that Guangzong has the three brothers Zhang Jiao, it is really difficult to capture."

"Lu Zhonglang is a famous general of our Han Dynasty. Although that horn is said to be proficient in Taoism and has the ability to call wind and rain. But I have never seen it and I don't say it, but with his own strength, how can he withstand the imperial army?"

Wei Tao asked at this time, he had been under Lu Bu's command before, and he knew that even under the siege of hundreds of elite soldiers, Lu Bu could only fight and retreat. , even Lu Bu can only be caught without a fight.

According to Wei Tao's thinking, even if Zhang Jiao is also proficient in the art of war, he is not a battle-killing general like Lu Bu. Compared with Lu Zhi, who has also experienced battles, he should still be inferior.

"Alas...Ziyu doesn't know something, but that Zhangjiao Bandit has some abilities. If I fight with him, I will not be afraid. That Zhangjiao Bandit is definitely my opponent."

Hearing Wei Tao's question, Lu Zhi let out a long sigh.

"However, that Zhangjiao bandit has a skill that I can't match. As long as the yellow scarf bandit keeps breathing, that horn will be able to save him. In such a stalemate, my court's military resources are becoming scarce, but the yellow scarf bandit has remained largely unchanged. The battle situation is getting worse every day, so I asked Xuande to help Huangfu and Brother Huangfu first, hoping that they can come to help in time. Sigh... Zhang Jiao is so powerful that it is difficult to eliminate!"

At the end, Lu Zhi sighed again, and it was only at this time that Liu Bei knew Lu Zhi's intentions.

"Teacher, don't worry. I think that corner is to apply medicine to develop the Yellow Turban Dao. I think that the corner has already prepared good medicine to be able to treat it in time. Although this is the foundation of the Yellow Turban Dao, the foundation of the Yellow Turban Dao is shallow. , presumably the medicine is also limited, and now that Zhang Jiao has spent a lot of time with the teacher, presumably he has not much medicine in reserve, and the only way to defeat the enemy is now."

At this moment, Liu Bei began to persuade.
