Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

Chapter 108: The Identity of the One-Armed Man and the Chaos in Bingzhou

"D-Do we know each other?"

Zhang Liao looked at the one-armed man and said with longing.

As soon as Zhang Liao said this, everyone's eyes quickly fell on the one-armed man.

The one-armed man was also touched by Zhang Liao's words at this moment.

However, after a brief moment of distraction, the one-armed man smiled bitterly and said:

"How can a man from the mountains and fields be worthy of knowing the general? The general has recognized the wrong person!"

After saying this.

The one-armed man turned his gaze towards Cao Zhi and said:

"General, if you won't kill me, can you let me go?"

"I am afraid……"

Cao Zhi was about to speak up to stop him.

But Zhang Liao said:

"Fourth Young Master, please let him go!"

"Well, since Wenyuan (Zhang Liao, courtesy name Wenyuan) pleads for you, then you may go!"

Cao Zhi said.

"Thank you!"

After saying this, the one-armed man rode away quickly.

Looking at the one-armed man walking away, Zhang Liao couldn't let it go for a long time.

Cao Zhi could naturally see such a scene.

It is highly likely that Zhang Liao knew the one-armed man.

However, considering Zhang Liao's mood at the time, Cao Zhi did not ask immediately.

……

"rustle……"

Just when Cao Zhi and others dismounted to rest.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the woods behind me.

Everyone immediately jumped on their horses and remained on guard.

Cao Zhi even took down the Zhentian Bow.

"Fourth Young Master, it's us!"

Accompanied by a familiar voice.

The figures of Chen Dao and Zhang Yan appeared in Cao Zhi's sight.

behind them.

There were hundreds of soldiers with pale faces and wounds all over their bodies.

These people were the White-ear soldiers trained by Chen Dao for Cao Zhi.

Seeing that the person coming was Chen Dao, Cao Zhi was overjoyed.

After everyone greeted each other.

Chen Dao then told about his experiences in Bingzhou during this period.

……

a month ago.

Chen Dao followed Cao Zhi's orders.

He brought Zhang Yan and the remaining 2,000 Black Mountain troops to the Taihang Mountains.

We plan to train these two thousand soldiers using the same method used to train the White-eared soldiers.

Finally, the two hundred most elite soldiers were selected from these two thousand people to form the White Ear Soldiers.

But Chen Dao and others had just arrived here.

They fell into an enemy ambush.

Two thousand soldiers were reduced to more than half in an instant.

This sudden attack stunned Chen Dao.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan knew the terrain.

In addition, Chen Dao has experience in mountain warfare.

As a result, Chen Dao and others were able to escape.

Later I inquired about it.

They then realized that the people who attacked them were the Baibo Army under Guo Tai.

And the reason why Guo Tai attacked them.

It was because Guo Tai regarded them as the "Wolf Cavalry Camp" that he took such ruthless action.

……

"Mrs. Guo??"

Because I had studied the history of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms before traveling through time.

Cao Zhi was impressed by Guo Tai.

As I recall, the soldiers led by Guo Tai were called the Baibo Army, and they were from the Yellow Turban Army.

At its peak, it had more than 100,000 soldiers under its command.

Later, the Baibo Army disbanded due to the separation of its generals.

For example, Han Xian, Yang Feng and others surrendered to the court.

Escorted Emperor Xian of Han from Chang'an back to Luoyang.

As for Guo Tai, historical records show that she has disappeared.

The reason why Cao Zhi remembered Guo Tai.

It's not because of how strong his personal strength is.

It was because he had allied with Yu Fuluo of the Southern Xiongnu and successively conquered Taiyuan, Henei and other counties.

It brought great disaster to Bingzhou.

That's why Cao Zhi remembered him!

Originally, Cao Zhi thought that Guo Tai was killed when his generals were dividing the family property.

Unexpectedly, he was lurking in Bingzhou.

He also had a conflict with Chen Dao and others.

"Fourth Young Master, the current Bingzhou is no longer dominated by Gao Gan alone. There are four major forces in Bingzhou..."

"The first force is the Bingzhou Army led by Gao Gan. Ever since Yuan Shao's defeat at the Battle of Guandu, Gao Gan has been secretly interacting with the Xiongnu. He provides them with food and ironware, and the Xiongnu provide him with war horses."

"In the past few years, Gao Gan has only done three things: first, developing cavalry; second, building high city walls; and third, looting food from everywhere. Now, all the counties in Bingzhou have tall city walls, and huge amounts of food are stored within the cities!"

"The second force is the Baibo Army led by Guo Tai. After the Baibo Army split up, Guo Tai took a small number of his trusted followers and hid in the grasslands. After the Battle of Guandu began, Guo Tai quietly slipped back to Bingzhou."

"Taking advantage of Gao Gan's fear of Sikong, Guo Tai started a middleman business. That is, the war horses given by the Xiongnu to Gao Gan, as well as the food and ironware Gao Gan sent to the Xiongnu, all of these things were handled by Gao Gan!"

"In addition, in order to gain the support of the Xiongnu, Gao Gan tacitly approved the Xiongnu's looting of the people of Bingzhou, and it was Guo Tai who was responsible for sending these people out."

"Guo Tai himself was very clever. Every time he was responsible for transporting soldiers, horses, money, and people, he would secretly keep some of them. Over time, the number of soldiers under Guo Tai's command had reached 30,000, including 5,000 cavalry and the rest were infantry!"

"As for the third force, it only appeared in the past two years. They're called the Wolf Cavalry Battalion. Most of their members are Han Chinese who have lost their homes. They number several thousand, and their combat effectiveness varies. Their leader is a one-armed man!"

"As for the fourth force, it's me and my men. Over the past month, we've fought against Guo Tai's Baibo Army many times. However, since we are all infantry and lack bows and crossbows, we currently only have 800 of us left!"

"Also, I suspect that the leader of the Wolf Cavalry Battalion was once a subordinate of Lu Bu..."

Chen Dao told Cao Zhi and others what he had seen and heard in the past month in one breath.

Cao Zhi and others couldn't help but sigh when they saw this.

But soon, everyone's eyes quickly fell on Zhang Liao.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him intently.

Zhang Liao was silent for a long time, and finally said:

"If I'm not mistaken, that one-armed man is Gao Shun, the leader of the Xianzhen Camp under Marquis Wen..."

Under Zhang Liao's introduction.

Only then did Cao Zhi and others know about it.

It turned out that when Cao Cao's army attacked Lu Bu.

Gao Shun was hit by a poisonous arrow in his right arm and had to cut off his right arm in order to survive.

But it was the Battle of Xia Pi at that time, and the war was at its most tense.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army.

Lu Bu specially found a man who looked similar to Gao Shun to impersonate Gao Shun and stabilize the Xianzhen Camp.

Gao Shun himself was hidden in Lu Bu's own mansion.

But Gao Shun had just been hidden in the mansion.

Xia Pi City was breached, and then Lu Bu was killed at Baimen Tower and the fake Gao Shun was beheaded.

As for the fate of the real Gao Shun, Zhang Liao did not know.

But he later learned.

When Cao Cao's army attacked Xia Pi.

There was a big fire in Lu Bu's mansion.

In that fire.

Lu Bu's wife, Madam Yan, and his concubine, Madam Cao, died.

As for his other concubine Diao Chan and daughter Lu Lingqi, they are nowhere to be found.

Zhang Liao guessed that it was most likely Gao Shun who took them away.

However, Zhang Liao did not tell anyone about this.

"Fourth Young Master, Sikong has repeatedly asked me about Diao Chan's whereabouts, but I always evaded the question by claiming I didn't know. Although I truly don't know their whereabouts, I concealed the news of their survival from Sikong..."

"Fourth Master, Wenyuan is guilty, please punish him!"

Having said that, Zhang Liao knelt on one knee, not daring to look up at Cao Zhi.

Through these few days of getting along.

Zhang Liao had been convinced by Cao Zhi, so he specifically asked for forgiveness!

As for Zhang He and others, after hearing Zhang Liao's story.

They also understood that Zhang Liao was not to blame.

However, considering that Zhang Liao did deceive Cao Cao.

Zhang Liao and others immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded for Zhang Liao.

Cao Zhi had no intention of punishing Zhang Liao.

At this moment, everyone was pleading for Zhang Liao.

Cao Zhi naturally would not miss this opportunity to win over Zhang Liao.

Cao Zhi then laughed and said:
