The Three Kingdoms: Home Travel

Jiang Zhe got up, boiled water, washed his face, and looked at the leftover food from yesterday. Too lazy to cook it again, he had a thought in mind: he would go to the Chen residence for a free meal today.

Jiang Zhe is probably the first teacher in history to have done something like this.

Fortunately, Chen Deng already knew Jiang Zhe's personality and was not surprised. He even invited Xiu'er to go with Jiang Zhe.

Xiuer was shy, so she never went herself and told Jiang Zhe about it many times in private. But Jiang Zhe didn't think it was a big deal. In his later life, when he was short of money, he often went to his friends' places to eat and play. Not only did he eat, but he also played around. All the expenses were paid by those guys. He still had more friends than Jiang Zhe. It has to be said that Jiang Zhe was very popular.

Nowadays, he doesn't regard Chen Dengzhen as a disciple, but only as a friend. The importance of family background and class is not worth mentioning in Jiang Zhe's eyes. If he wasn't afraid of being beheaded, he would like to go to Luoyang to see what those two young emperors look like. He heard that Empress Fu, the wife of Emperor Xian, is quite beautiful.

But no matter how beautiful she is, she's not as beautiful as Diao Chan. Diao Chan seems to be the most beautiful woman in the world! Jiang Zhe fantasized as he thought about it. How wonderful it would be if he could meet her! It's such a pity that such a beautiful woman had such a tragic life. Sigh!

With a sigh, Jiang Zhe raised his head and suddenly froze. The girl who was walking towards him and was defeated by the young girl was the wild girl from the Mi family who had been taught a lesson by him that time.

"You can't see me! You can't see me!" Jiang Zhe hurried forward, looking down at the ground. Suddenly, a pair of embroidered shoes appeared in his field of vision, and he immediately groaned inwardly.

Now that the girl has changed back into women's clothing, I naturally can't afford to argue with her anymore. If I get entangled with her, even passersby will probably scorn me...

Jiang Zhe took a step to the right, intending to settle things peacefully, but the other party didn't think so. As soon as Jiang Zhe moved, she moved as well, standing right in front of him.

"Hmph! You villain, I've finally found you!" Mi Zhen glared at Jiang Zhe, her rosy cheeks clearly frozen by the wind, making her look quite adorable.

Jiang Zhe inwardly groaned, but helplessly, he raised his head and stared at Mi Zhen for a long time.

Mi Zhen felt her face flush under Jiang Zhe's intense gaze and snapped angrily, "You lecherous scoundrel, what are you looking at!"

"Miss..." Jiang Zhe said, feigning confusion, "Do you know me? Why are you blocking my way?"

"..." Mi Zhen's eyes widened, and she pointed at Jiang Zhe, speechless with anger.

"If there's nothing else, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave!" He quickly made his way out!

"Stop!" Mi Zhen shouted, catching up with Jiang Zhe. "You're not allowed to leave. If you want to go, apologize to me first!"

"An apology?" Jiang Zhe tilted his head as if pondering something. "I've never met you before, Miss, so what's there to apologize for?"

"You!" Mi Zhen roared, "Half a month ago, you humiliated me in the shop..."

"Humiliation..." My God, I just taught you a lesson, and you call that humiliation? Jiang Zhe noticed that the pedestrians on the street were paying attention to this place, and he was immediately worried. After thinking for a moment, he decided to retreat in order to advance.

"Oh..." Jiang Zhe pretended to suddenly understand.

"You remember now? Then apologize!" Mi Zhen seemed to be in a better mood.

"So..." Jiang Zhe said in a surprised tone, "So you're the unruly girl my brother was talking about!"

"Who's being unreasonable...brother?" Mi Zhen stared at Jiang Zhe, seeing that his expression didn't seem fake (he's too easily fooled, so frustrating). Could it be that she really mistook him for someone else?

But are there really people in the world who look so alike?

"Then..." Mi Zhen asked hesitantly, "What...what's your name?"

"My name is Lu Renyi, and Lu Renjia is my elder brother..."

"Lu Renyi?" Mi Zhen murmured softly, "His name is a bit nicer than your villainous brother's..." Only then did she take a closer look at Jiang Zhe, thinking to herself, "This person is so refined, he probably really isn't that person, and I've mistaken him for someone else."

Suddenly, she felt a little embarrassed. Even if the villain was her brother, he hadn't offended her. It was really inappropriate to take her anger out on him for no reason.

"...Well, since you have your mind, then go ahead. If you encounter your wicked brother, tell him! I will definitely find him..." Mi Zhen glanced at Jiang Zhe and deliberately said, "Unless your brother leaves Xuzhou and hides from me for the rest of his life, an apology is absolutely essential!"

"This is ridiculous!" Jiang Zhe thought to himself. "I haven't done anything to you, is it necessary to issue a warrant for my arrest like this?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" In any case, he'd gotten through this hurdle; he'd deal with it later. Jiang Zhe clasped his hands in a respectful bow and hurriedly left.

"Hmph!" Mi Zhen pouted, in a very bad mood. She thought she could finally catch that villain, but it turned out to be that villain's brother. How hateful!

Oh dear! I still need to send grain from home to my elder brother! Mi Zhen was a little annoyed with her own stupid brain and gently tapped it.

"Lu Renyi..." But for some reason, Mi Zhen felt something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what went wrong, so she went home feeling sullen.

Jiang Zhe finally arrived at the East Gate and immediately spotted Fang Yue and Chen Deng. He went up to greet them.

"teacher!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Zhe nodded, glanced outside the city, and asked, "Has the Yellow Turbans made any move?"

Thinking of what happened that morning, Chen Deng said somewhat dejectedly, "They only said they would attack the city this afternoon."

"Hmm!" Jiang Zhe responded, then thought about what would happen if he encountered trenches and bunkers.

After racking their brains but failing to come up with an effective solution, they gave up and decided to see what the Yellow Turban general would do...

"By the way!" Jiang Zhe asked, "Do you know the name of the Yellow Turban rebel general who attacked the East Gate?"

"I know!" Chen Deng replied. "It seems her name is Zhang Yan, yes, Zhang Yan, Zhang Zi'an!"

Zhang Yan?! Jiang Zhe's eyes widened. He recognized the name—the leader of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Black Mountains of the North! Holy crap! She's joined the Yellow Turbans now? And she's attacking Xuzhou?

In Jiang Zhe's memory, Zhang Yan was both literate and skilled in martial arts, a rare talent. It seemed that yesterday's events were just luck. Zhang Yan was not so easy to deal with. Jiang Zhe was on high alert.

"Ah! The Yellow Turbans are attacking the city!" A general on the city wall shouted.

Jiang Zhe and the others immediately leaned over the city wall and looked out of the east gate. They saw a small dark shadow in the distance gradually growing larger.

Immediately, swords were drawn from their sheaths at the East Gate, and the thousand elite soldiers from Xuzhou entered the trenches, nocking their bows and arrows.

As they drew closer, Jiang Zhe's gaze became somewhat unusual.

"Hey, what's that?" someone asked the person next to them.

"This... seems to be a grain cart?"

Jiang Zhe sighed inwardly, realizing that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated!

Zhang Yan actually attached a thick wooden plank to the front of the grain carts, then linked dozens of grain carts together with hemp ropes, and pushed them from behind, slowly approaching Xuzhou.

Wouldn't that render the bows and crossbows useless? Jiang Zhe frowned deeply.

"Are there more people behind?" Chen Deng's low exclamation caught Jiang Zhe's attention. Jiang Zhe looked up and saw dozens more grain carts behind them, but these grain carts seemed extremely heavy and moved very slowly.

Wait a minute... A bad thought flashed through Jiang Zhe's mind.

Could it be that they want to fill in those trenches?

Don't think that filling in the moat is a huge project. In fact, it was just a road leading to the east gate of Xuzhou.

"Ziping!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Fang Yue replied.

"The soldiers will use projectiles later!"

"A...projectile?" Fang Yue hesitated for a moment, then asked疑惑地问道, "What is a projectile?"

Huh? Jiang Zhe was taken aback. Was the term "projectile" still used at this time?

"Look, the Yellow Turban Army is clearly trying to use those strange grain carts as a cover. Wouldn't that render our crossbows useless?"

"I'm also troubled by this!" Fang Yue said, frowning.

"Come here, I'll teach you!"

Fang Yue walked over while Chen Deng stared at her with wide eyes. Listening to Jiang Zhe's "brilliant plan," she nodded repeatedly, making Chen Deng extremely anxious. He thought to himself, "I am your disciple!"

"Mr. Jiang is indeed learned; I have never heard of such an archery method before!" Fang Yue accepted the order and went to prepare.

Chen Deng sidled up to Jiang Zhe, grinning sheepishly, and said, "Teacher... I don't know about this..."

"Heh!" Having spent quite some time with Chen Deng, Jiang Zhe was well aware of his thoughts and said with a smile, "You'll find out soon enough!"

"Oh..." Chen Deng was really anxious, but since the teacher had already said so, how could he ask for more? Hmm, he would have to look carefully later.

The Yellow Turban army had already formed ranks outside the city. Zhang Yan took the lead, coldly watching the east gate of Xuzhou. Today he was different from yesterday; his pride and underestimation of the enemy had completely disappeared, and he had only one thought left!

Trample Xuzhou!

With a wave of Zhang Yan's hand, dozens of strange grain carts slowly moved toward the moat in front of the east gate of Xuzhou.

"Archers, be on guard!"

Hundreds of archers nocked their arrows and lined up.

"Spearmen, prepare!"

"Drink!" A loud response rang out, as the thousand-plus spearmen, ready to fight on the front lines, displayed their fighting spirit.

Zhang Yan nodded in satisfaction and shouted, "Pass on the commander's order: capture Xuzhou and reward the troops for three days!"

"Drink!" Instantly, the Yellow Turban soldiers became excited and their faces turned red. Xuzhou, Xuzhou was a rare and wealthy place in the world!

As the saying goes, "a great reward will surely bring forth brave warriors," and the morale of the Yellow Turban army soared. On the other hand, Xuzhou seemed to be somewhat overwhelmed by the enemy's momentum.

The situation is dire...

Finally, the East Gate of Xuzhou witnessed a real battle, one that required no trickery but a head-on confrontation!
