Chapter 8 Encounter (2)
Who is she? Why is she exactly the same as the girl she saved?
Could it be that she also came to this inexplicable chaotic world from later generations?
Chen Mo was thinking about it for several days and seemed absent-minded in the task of logging and camping. Fortunately, the Yellow Turban soldiers around him were all with him, so he didn't care much about Chen Mo being lazy.
"How could it be, Xiao Mo, I saw you being distracted these days..." During the afternoon break, Zhou Cang handed a pottery bowl filled with water to Chen Mo, sat beside him and said, "What happened? You might as well talk to me." This honest man really regarded Chen Mo as his brother.
"I'm fine, Brother Zhou." Chen Mo shook his head slightly.
Zhou Cang sighed secretly and raised his head. He happened to see Pei Yuanshao's strange expression with a smile. His face was stunned and said in surprise, "Old Pei, why do you have such a face?"
"Bao!" Pei Yuanshao spat two spits in anger, rolled his eyes, sat on the other side of Chen Mo, and said with a smile, "Old Zhou is a reckless man, how can he understand? Xiao Mo has something to do... right? Xiao Mo?"
Looking at Pei Yuanshao's snickering expression, Chen Mo felt a little embarrassed and said embarrassedly, "What...what?"
"What? Hey!" Pei Yuanshao shouted like a quarrel, and said in a low voice, "I saw everything the day before yesterday!"
"What did you see?" Zhou Cang and Chen Mo said in unison, but Zhou Cang's tone was confused, but Chen Mo seemed a little anxious.
"He's a beautiful person! Right?" Pei Yuanshao smiled and drank the water from the bowl in his hand in one sip. He looked at Chen Mo with a smile, making Chen Mo feel so embarrassed.
Although Pei Yuanshao made fun of him, Chen Mo still had great curiosity about the girl named Susu.
Somehow, from that day on, when Chen Mo closed his eyes, the beautiful face of the girl named Susu appeared in front of him, which appeared far more frequently than the women he had secretly loved.
What the hell is going on?
It's impossible for people to look exactly the same, right?
Could it be that she is the same as me...
Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a little moved. Although Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others had a very good relationship with him, Chen Mo and they were not from the same era after all, and some things were impossible to communicate at all, especially the loneliness of coming to this troubled world alone.
After thinking about it, Chen Mo felt it was necessary to find an opportunity to test it, but the next day, Chen Mo met her...
It was during the lunch break, and Chen Mo was walking towards his tent with a pottery bowl, with a few dry buns in it. That was his supper today.
Perhaps the rumors in the camp were true, the Yellow Turban Army was about to end its food and food became increasingly tense.
As he walked, Chen Mo, who was absent-minded, hit a tall yellow turban soldier, and one of the dried buns in the bowl fell out and rolled to the ground.
"Look at it, boy!" The strong man in the yellow turban frowned and glared at Chen Mo, and then walked towards the pot rack in the distance with his own pot bowl.
Although the Yellow Turban soldiers in the camp were basically tall and burly and fierce, most of them were surprisingly easy to talk to, and they were straightforward men like Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao. Therefore, there were almost no strong people in the camp bullying the weak. Of course, this also has something to do with the strict military rules in the camp.
Seeing that there was one missing dry bun in the bowl, Chen Mo subconsciously searched on the ground. After a few turns, he saw the dusty dry bun. If it weren't before, he would definitely not have picked it up, but now...
Alas, the food in the camp is tight.
Just when Chen Mo leaned down and was about to pick up the dry bun, a slim hand suddenly reached out to pick up the dry bun that Chen Mo had dropped.
Chen Mo subconsciously looked up, with a few surprises and restraints in his eyes.
It was her, it turned out to be the girl I saw that day...
Chen Mo had heard other soldiers remind him about this girl who was about the same age as him in the past few days, but his identity surprised him.
It turned out that this girl was the daughter of general Zhang Liang, called Zhang Susu. Because Zhang Liang had too many things to do around him and had no time to take care of his daughter, he entrusted her to his idle second brother Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao is a narrow-minded person and will retaliate against slightest. He is very harsh to outsiders, but he attaches great importance to family affection.
Among the three Zhang brothers, the eldest brother Zhang Jiao was immersed in overthrow of the Han Dynasty and had not married or had children for more than ten years. Zhang Bao himself was frivolous. Although there were many women, he unexpectedly did not have a single child. Only the third brother Zhang Liang gave birth to a daughter, who was only fifteen years old.
Perhaps because he is Zhang's only bloodline, both Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao love their niece Zhang Susu very much. Not only did he teach her to study and read, but even Zhang Jiao is not stingy with the magic of the "Dunjia Tianshu". As long as Zhang Susu is interested, Zhang Jiao will teach her with all his heart.
Of course, how could Zhang Susu, a girl, be interested in that kind of magic? She prefers to follow her second uncle Zhang Bao to run around than to stay by her busy uncle.
Because Zhang Bao only had the elite troops of the Yellow Turban Soldiers, and he was not as proficient in government affairs as his third brother Zhang Liang, so Zhang Jiao sent him to contact the Yellow Turban Soldiers everywhere.
For his third brother's daughter Zhang Susu, Zhang Bao treats her better than his own children. Whether in Julu, Guangzong, or in various Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Bao takes her with him. Thanks to him, the general of the Yellow Turban Army in various places knows that General Zhang Liang has a daughter named Zhang Susu...
This girl, who was only fifteen years old, had a reputation among the Yellow Turban tribes, and once surpassed Zhang Jiao's favorite disciple Zhang Baiqi. This is a later story.
"Huhu," Zhang Susu picked up the dry bun in Chen Mo's complicated gaze, blew the dust stained on it and handed it to Chen Mo, and said with a smile, "Give it!"
Chen Mo hesitated and reached out to take it.
After staring at Chen Mo for a long time, Zhang Susu giggled, "Are you also a soldier in the camp? I know you. A few days ago, you stood on a pile of wood and almost fell down, right?"
Chen Mo only felt a burning heat on his face and nodded silently.
"Gee," Zhang Susu giggled and looked at Chen Mo with a smile. Seeing him as restrained as other soldiers, Zhang Susu felt bored and turned around and was about to leave, but heard Chen Mo ask, "You... why are you here?"
"Huh?" Zhang Susu turned her head in surprise, tilted her head slightly to look at Chen Mo, and said in confusion, "I'm here with my second uncle. The second uncle is discussing military affairs with your commander in the tent. I think it's too boring, so I'll come out for a walk... Why can't I be here?"
Looking at Zhang Susu's beautiful and cute face, Chen Mo became more and more sure that she was the girl she saved in later generations. He hesitated and said, "Don't you... do you still remember that day was on the road, you were on the road, that..." Chen Mo stuttered and said that day to Zhang Susu, and Zhang Susu's face was inexplicably confused.
"That day? On the road? Car?" Zhang Susu tilted her head and looked at Chen Mo for a long time, and suddenly giggled, "You are very interesting... different from other soldiers in the camp. What are your names?"
She...isn't she?
Chen Mo opened his mouth in surprise. Seeing that the other party couldn't understand what he was talking about, he felt extremely disappointed.
I thought I had come to this troubled times alone and finally found a person connected to the same fate, but I didn't expect that it was just my beautiful wish...
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Zhang Susu stared at Chen Mo with some angrily.
"My name is Chen Mo!"
"Silence...hehe, interesting name!" the girl giggled and waved her hand and said, "I remember you. It's getting late. I'm going back, otherwise my second uncle will say me again..."
Looking at the girl's back as she left, Chen Mo also walked towards his tent silently with the pottery bowl.
Once he learned that Zhang Susu was indeed a person of this era, Chen Mo's original passionate heart had already been half cold, but the other party's smile that made people feel happy from the bottom of his heart left a deep impression on him.
The daughter of general Zhang Liang, Zhang Susu...
At the same time, within the Yellow Turban Camp Commander's tent, a conflict of opinion broke out between Zhang Bao and Bo Cai.
"Bocai, two months ago, my brother, Daxian and good mentor, agreed to a deadline for you to raise troops together, asking you to lead your army north along the way, meet him, and fight with Luoyang together. For two months, you still stay in Yingchuan... I won't talk about this for the time being.
I don't want to interfere in your military affairs, but I have to say... I have been in your camp for three days, right? During these three days, you only ask your subordinates to supervise the construction of the camp every day, but you don't mean to take the chief club at all. Could it be that you are deliberately neglecting?"
Looking at Zhang Bao sitting on the commander's seat, Bo Cai clasped his fists and said respectfully, "General Di Gong, I have made a clear understanding of the situation with the great wise and good teachers. Since I made an agreement with the great wise and good teachers, I have captured countless counties in Yingyang, and I have never been negligent at all. But the foolish king sent Huangfu Song and Zhu Yi to intercept them. Therefore, he failed to join forces with the great wise and good teachers as scheduled. Huangfu Song and Zhu Yi are veterans in the court. They are familiar with military tactics and are also cautious in their actions. Bo Cai is incompetent. In order to take care of all the safety of the whole country, he can only advance slowly..."
"So, I blame you for your mistake?"
"I dare not take it," Bo Cai frowned and said with a fist when he saw a fierce light flash in Zhang Bao's eyes. "I heard that the great wise and good teachers were fighting with Lu Zhi in Guangzong. The situation was urgent, and Bo Cai was also anxious. However, Changshe was still seriously ill. If Bo Cai led his army north, the Yellow Turban brothers from all over Yingchuan would be coerced by the official army. Furthermore, if Huangfu Song took advantage of the time when I led his army north and then covered the killing, he was afraid that our army would be in danger of destruction..."
"Oh? Is that?" Zhang Bao snorted coldly and said lightly, "What if it's your opinion?"
I saw a flash of light in Bocai's eyes and said in a deep voice, "If Changshe is not removed, my Yingchuan Yellow Turban is like a sharp edge. In my opinion, I can only pull out the two imperial minions, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun!"
Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, his expression widened, his tone slowed down a lot, and he nodded and said, "Yes, it makes sense, why haven't you heard any movement for a long time? When I arrived, I visited Guangzong before. My brother has worked hard recently and his physical condition is worrying. I shouldn't wait for a long time. I quickly summoned the troops and took the Changshe. I can help you!"
Among the three Zhang brothers, the eldest brother Zhang Jiao is proficient in internal affairs and has mastered many magic tricks in the "Dunjia Tianshu". Unfortunately, he has been weak since childhood and has been sick in bed for a long time after the rebellion. The third brother Zhang Liang lacks talent in learning magic tricks, but he is good at planning and using troops. He has a high reputation among the Yellow Turban divisions, so he has always given orders to the Yellow Turban divisions on behalf of Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Bao was not very good at internal affairs and military tactics. Although he learned some magic tricks from Zhang Jiao, he was not proficient in them and was only good at developing elixirs. In addition, he had a bad personality, so among the three Zhang brothers, he was the lowest in prestige.
But no matter what, Zhang Bao is familiar with some magic tricks. With his help, it is not impossible to conquer Changshe, which has heavy troops to defend.
But Bo has other plans...
"General's clarification, there are only more than 20,000 defenders in Changshe City. This is true. However, Changshe City has high walls and strong attacks. If I attack, my soldiers will definitely suffer heavy casualties... No matter what, please rest assured, and within half a month, I will take Changshe!"
There was nothing wrong with Bo Cai's words, but Zhang Bao was worried about his brothers in Guangzong and wanted to arrive at Guangzong one day. When he heard [within half a month], his face immediately darkened and he said angrily, "I still say that it wasn't a deliberate neglect? Why do you need half a month? Bo Cai, in the name of my brother, great wise mentor, I will make you immediately use troops to the Changshe!"
"General?" Bo Cai's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Zhang Bao with embarrassment. The dozen generals behind him all looked at Zhang Bao with angry eyes.
"Bang!"
Zhang Bao slapped the table, pointed at Bo Cai and more than a dozen generals under his command, and said angrily, "Why do you want to commit rebellion?" As he said that, more than 20 guards beside him drew their swords and glared at Bo Cai. When the generals under Bo Cai saw that, led by Ma Ming and Yu Miao, they drew their swords one after another, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense.
Seeing that the generals in the tent drew their swords and stared at him, Zhang Bao's face turned red and he roared angrily, "Bocai, you are so brave!" He valued the most face in his life, so how could anyone let him draw his sword to him?
Bo Cai's expression changed, and he quickly turned around and pressed his subordinate's sword, shouting loudly, "Stop, stop! Ma Ming, Yu Miao, I'll stop!"
When Ma Ming, Yu Miao and other generals saw the commander speaking, they had no choice but to collect the sword, but they still looked at Zhang Bao with an angry look to express their dissatisfaction, which made Zhang Bao even more angry.
At this moment, the curtain suddenly rose up and a crisp sound came from outside the tent.
"Second uncle?"
Zhang Bao stared at the tent door with his eyes wide open. Seeing Zhang Susu looking into the tent with confusion, his face was stunned. Then, the anger in his eyes was completely gone, and he waved his hand and said, "Susu, come here!" As he said, he saw that Zhang Susu's eyes were always looking at the sword in the hands of the guards, so he coughed and said, "Don't put it away quickly, don't scare my good niece!"
When Zhang Bao's guards heard this, they then withdrew their swords and retreated. Even Bo Cai felt relieved in his heart and looked at Zhang Susu with gratitude, although the latter did not notice it.
"Second uncle, are you discussing military information?"
"Yes," Zhang Bao nodded with a smile, patted Zhang Susu's head dotingly, and then his eyes turned slightly cold. Looking at Bo Cai and the dozen generals under his command, he said coldly, "Sir Bo, Zhang will not be scruples with you for the moment. I hope that Bo will put the overall situation first... At dawn tomorrow, summon the entire army, and Zhang will personally supervise the battle. It is necessary to take the Changshe! Otherwise... military law will deal with both crimes and punish them together!"
Seeing Zhang Bao calling him [Bo Shuai], Bo realized that there was no room for discussion on the matter. He waved his hand and retreated the generals and held his fists to take the order.
"Bocai... obeys the orders of General Digong!"
