Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Chapter 73 Reunion after a long absence

In the Han army tent.

The Northern Army successfully broke through the encirclement and retreated to a dangerous pass like a tiger returning to the mountains, setting up camp and settling down.

In the center of the tent sat a handsome man, his features like a piece of fine jade, meticulously carved. Standing eight feet two inches tall, he stood proudly like a pine tree. His voice was as resonant as a bell, like the roar of a mighty wave. He smiled, his gaze fixed on Suo Chao, the first man on his left, with a piercing gaze that seemed to penetrate a person's heart. This man was Lu Zhi, the General of the Northern Army.

General Lu held a grand banquet to reward the generals who came to support him.

"Dear generals! You have all fought bravely and endured hardships today! This banquet is specially prepared for you. I hope you will enjoy it and drink to your heart's content!"

"Thank you, General Lu!"

"Thank you teacher!"

At the banquet, the generals smiled at each other, their smiles as warm as the spring sun. Their eyes, filled with trust and gratitude, twinkled like stars in the night sky. They knew that victory in this battle came from their unity, as unbreakable as steel, and from their courage, as unstoppable as the wind.

"General Zhenbei, you've traveled thousands of miles to rescue the Northern Army! Thank you for your hard work along the way!"

"General Lu is loyal and dedicated to serving his country. This is Boyi's responsibility!"

"Bo Yi! Your decapitation operation in the battle of Dingxiang County was truly brilliant!"

"General Lu, you're too kind. We were able to win that battle thanks to the bravery of our soldiers!"

Zhang Fei, who was sitting nearby, felt unhappy when he heard Lu Zhi praising Suo Chao all the time. He said with an unhappy look on his face.

"General Lu, the four of us brothers put in a lot of effort to save you!"

Liu Bei sat upright in his tent, his posture erect, his brow radiating determination and resolve. His face was as white as jade, his lips rosy, his eyes piercing with wisdom and depth. His hair, thick and black, neatly combed and flowing over his shoulders, added to his heroic demeanor. Upon hearing his third brother Zhang Fei's words, he quickly rebuked him.

"Third brother, don't be rude to the teacher!"

"Teacher, my third brother is outspoken, please don't take it to heart!"

Lu Zhi looked at the four Liu Bei brothers sitting at the table and was deeply moved.

"This young man has a generous personality. May I know your name?"

"My surname is Zhang, my given name is Fei, and my courtesy name is Yide."

"Brother Yide, thank you for your hard work in this rescue. I'll offer you a glass of water instead of wine."

"Hehe! General Lu is really kind. He hasn't forgotten the contributions of our four brothers." After saying that, Zhang Fei picked up the wine jar and drank it like a whale.

Seeing Zhang Fei being so reckless, Liu Bei felt a little unhappy. Although he had contributed to the rescue this time, it was not good for Zhang Fei to speak out directly. He quickly interrupted.

"Yide, stop talking nonsense. Fighting against the Yellow Turbans is the duty of every Han citizen."

Liu Bei had large earlobes. Although he was in the military camp, he still exuded a gentle temperament, making people feel his kindness and generosity.

"Xuan De! This little brother is truly a man of character. I like him very much!"

"You did an excellent job in this raid on the enemy's food supplies!"

"Teacher, this is what we should do, it's nothing to worry about."

Suo Chao was not idle either. He first toasted General Lu Zhi, and then began to toast the generals in the military tent one by one.

"General Zongyuan! You've been working really hard dealing with Zhang Jiao's main force!"

"General Zhenbei actually knows me?"

"Of course, you followed General Lu to defeat Zhang Jiao's main force, and your reputation has long been known far and wide."

"Haha, I've heard of General Zhenbei's name before."

Suo Chao smiled without saying anything and walked towards Guan Yu who was not far away.

"Brother Feng, long time no see!"

Zhang Fei replied drunkenly.

"What Brother Feng? This is my second brother Guan Yu!"

"Oh! It's Brother Guan, I'm so sorry!"

"Brother Boyi, it's been years since we last met. Your reputation is getting better and better!"

"Haha, I'm not doing well enough."

Suo Chao met with the Four Heroes of Taoyuan one by one. Of these heroes, the one he admired most was undoubtedly Wei Qing. However, he also knew that Wei Qing was like a towering mountain, a figure he could never reach.

"This must be General Wei, right? Suo Boyi has been a close friend of yours for a long time."

"Oh? You know me?"

"I am Fuchun Suo Boyi!"

"So it's General Zhenbei. I've heard of your great name for a long time." Wei Qing responded with a smile.

"General Wei, how dare I show off in front of you!"

"General Zhenbei is too modest. The past is like a passing cloud. I am just an ordinary citizen now!"

"General Wei is too modest! Suo Chao still has a lot to learn from you."

"I have long heard of General Wei's glorious military exploits. It is a great honor to see him today." Suo Chao said with a fist salute.

Wei Qing waved his hand and said with a smile, "These are all trivial matters, not worth mentioning."

Suo Chao was extremely excited. He didn't expect Wei Qing to be so approachable and not as aloof as the rumors said.

"Haha! We can communicate more when we have time!"

"must!"

Liu Bei didn't know why, but he suddenly felt jealous. Suo Chao got along so well with his second and fourth brothers, and he felt like he was about to lose something.

"Second brother! Are you and General Zhenbei old acquaintances?"

"Brother, when I was young, I once met General Zhenbei!"

"Oh! That's great. I'm so happy for you, brother!"

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the tent. Lu Zhi's face changed and he quickly sent someone out to check what was going on.

After a while, the soldiers came back to report that a group of people wanted to see Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi hurried out to check, and saw a group of people kneeling in front of the tent, with the old man in the lead saying.

"Thank you, General, for defeating the Yellow Turban Rebellion and saving our homeland."

Lu Zhi quickly helped the old man up and said.

"This is the duty of our generation of soldiers. No need to thank me."

The people presented their own specialties to express their gratitude to the Han army.

Wei Qing couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. General Lu is deeply loved by the people, which is a blessing for our Han Dynasty."

Suo Chao nodded in agreement. He secretly made up his mind that he would devote himself to the country and the people like Wei Qing and Lu Zhi in the future.

Suo Chao walked towards a young general in a white robe. The general was eight feet tall, handsome, and well-mannered, giving off a solemn and powerful aura.

"Brother Zilong, what a fate! I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"Brother Boyi, what a coincidence! I came here with General Gongsun this time."

"Really? That's great. This is Brother Xia Houlan, right?"

Xiahou Lan looked terrified. He felt that he was not talented enough and was not worthy of the honorific title of General Zhenbei.

"Ah? General Zhenbei, you're too kind. I'm just a nobody, how dare I be your big brother?"

"Brother Xiahou Lan, Zilong and I are like brothers. Zilong's brother is my brother."

Xiahou Lan touched his head and smiled innocently.

"Haha! That seems to be the case."

The three of them smiled at each other. Soon, Suo Chao paid his respects to General Gongsun Zan.

"Brother Bogui, your White Horse Volunteers are brave and fearless. I admire them!"

"Haha! General Zhenbei, thank you for your praise."

While Suo Chao was chatting happily with everyone, a soldier hurried into the tent and whispered something in Lu Zhi's ear. Lu Zhi's face instantly became very solemn. He stood up and said to everyone.

"We just received news that the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army are attacking the nearby Chenjia Village. We must go and support them immediately."

Everyone stood up and prepared to go. Suo Chao volunteered.

"General Lu, let me lead our troops there!"

Lu Zhi nodded and agreed to Suo Chao's request.

"General Zhenbei, please be careful. When you return victorious, we will have another drink together."

Suo Chao bid farewell to all the generals and led his troops to Chenjiazhuang in a hurry.
