Chapter 32 The Big Ear Thief Appears

Because of the victory of the battle, Zhang Fei clamored to schedule a wine to celebrate the celebration, but Chen Chu did not agree. After all, it is still an extraordinary time, and it is far from the time to serve a wine to celebrate the celebration.

Chen Chu's army was stationed in Zhuo County, and 60,000 Yellow Turban prisoners were also detained here. Now Chen Chu has to deal with the issue of these 60,000 prisoners.

"Lord, keeping these 60,000 people is a waste of food. It's better to kill them all to eliminate future troubles!" The person who offered his advice was Lu Bu. This guy was really cruel. Hearing this, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were all terrified, and Chen Chu felt even more chilling in his back.

"No." Zhang Liao and Guan Yu both objected. The two couldn't help but look at each other. Zhang Liao nodded, so Guan Yu clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said, "Lord, although this Yellow Turban Army is abominable, most of its members are ordinary people. It is only because they are forced by life and bewitched by the Yellow Turban demons that they embarked on the road of great rebellion. It is really inappropriate to use murderous intentions! Please think twice!"

At this time, Zhang Liao also clasped his fists and said, "Brother, what Chief Yun said is reasonable. Instead of killing them, it is better to take them for yourself. These Yellow Turban Army have some experience in joining the army, and it is much easier to train them than to train new recruits."

Zhang Liao's words came to Chen Chu's heart. Chen Chu originally planned to incorporate this Yellow Turban Army, and the reason why he wanted to gather everyone for discussion was mainly to hear everyone's opinions.

Chen Chu nodded and said, "I have this plan, but we are currently short of military and armor. Even if we incorporate them, we cannot train them into an army!"

Chen Chu glanced around the four people in the hall with a sad face, hoping that they could give him some advice.

Zhang Liao and Guan Yu were suddenly in deep thought, while Lu Bu looked a little depressed. It seemed that Chen Chu did not accept his advice just now, which made him feel a little unhappy.

"Brother, I, Old Zhang, have an idea." Zhang Fei, who had been stuck on the side and didn't say anything, suddenly spoke.

Chen Chu couldn't help but show a look of surprise and asked, "What can I do with my second brother but I can say it's okay."

Zhang Fei grinned, "Actually, there is a lot of weapons in this army, so I'm afraid that my elder brother will not want to take it."

Chen Chu thought for a moment, and suddenly showed a awakened expression, "Oh, second brother, you are talking about Okura from Zhuo County. Is there anything wrong with doing this?" Chen Chu turned his inquiring eyes to Zhang Liao and Guan Yu.

Zhang Liao and Guan Yu nodded to each other, and then Zhang Liao said, "Brother, I think the second brother's idea is feasible. Now is an extraordinary period, and generals leading the army have the right to act cheaply. We will take this official warehouse to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army. I believe the court will not care about it."

Chen Chu nodded, and he had another thought in his heart.

"Okay, that's the decision. Chief Yun, you will select strong people from these 60,000 surrendered troops and then train them into an army. Yide, Fengxian, and you two are responsible for external alerts."

"Yes." The three of them stood up and agreed respectfully.

At this time, Zhang Liao was a little depressed. The other three had tasks, but he was the only one who was not assigned a task.

"Brother, why are I the only one who has no task?" Zhang Liao stood up and asked aggrievedly.

Chen Chu smiled, "Wen Yuan, don't be anxious, I have something else to ask you to do." He paused, and then continued, "I plan to let Wen Yuan do it for the matter of offering victory to the court. Is Wen Yuan willing?"

Zhang Liao hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Wen Yuan will not obey any orders of the elder brother."

All four of them were assigned a mission and left immediately.

The next day, before Zhang Liao left, Chen Chu called him into the backyard of the government office.

When Zhang Liao came to the backyard, he saw several large boxes and more than a dozen sealed small boxes on the ground.

"Brother, what are these?" Zhang Liao looked at Chen Chu with a look of inquisitive expression on his face.

Chen Chu smiled and pointed to the dozen small boxes and said, "These small boxes are the heads of Cheng Yuanzhi and his minions." Then he pointed to the big boxes and said, "As for these boxes, it contains ten thousand gold."

Zhang Liao was shocked when he heard this, "Brother, what is this 10,000 gold for?"

Chen Chu sighed and said, "At present, eunuchs are in power in the court. If we do not prepare etiquette, we may not be able to achieve the great achievements of God!"

Zhang Liao immediately showed anger, "These eunuchs are really hateful! If it weren't for them, the world wouldn't be in such a chaos!"

Chen Chu narrowed his eyes, and a trace of cold light appeared in it. "Wen Yuan, don't be upset, sooner or later, we will kill all these eagles! However, for now, what we need to do is to strengthen our strength as soon as possible and wait for the opportunity."

Zhang Liao clasped his fists and said with a little excited expression: "Brother, if you want to go to the side of the Qing dynasty in Beijing, I would like to be the pioneer!"

Chen Chu slapped Zhang Liao's arm vigorously and nodded solemnly.

Chen Chu was temporarily stationed in Zhuo County to train troops, and his third brother Zhang Liao led 200 cavalry to Luoyang with 10,000 gold and more than a dozen heads of the Yellow Turban Army generals.

On the day Zhang Liao left, a man suddenly came from the east. The number was about 3,000 people. The person in front of him looked pale and had a very big ear.

Chen Chu looked at the person in front of him. He had a fair face, a kind face, a very big ear, and a long arms. Is he like this?

"Your surname is Liu, your name is Bei, and your courtesy name is Xuande?" Chen Chu asked uncertainly.

The person in front of him showed a look of surprise and nodded, "I am Liu Bei, but I don't know how I know?" Guan Yu, who was beside him, couldn't help but look at him a few more times when he heard that this was Liu Bei, because Chen Chu had mentioned this person in front of him. The lord once mistakenly thought that he was a brother of a different surname with Liu Bei, but he didn't know this person at all. Moreover, Liu Bei knew that his martial arts skills were ordinary, and Guan Yu, who had a high opinion of himself, simply disdained to become sworn person with such a person. Guan Yu couldn't help but wonder, he didn't know how the lord would associate himself with this Liu Bei who seemed to be incompetent.

Chen Chu smiled and did not answer Liu Bei, and asked again: "I don't know what Xuande is saying?"

Liu Bei held his fists at Chen Chu and replied: "I joined the army under the command of Liu Taishou. I learned that Zhuo County was besieged a few days ago, so I was ordered by the prefect to lead the army to rescue him."

Chen Chu nodded, "Xuande can repay Grandpa Liu. Our army has wiped out Cheng Yuanzhi's troops, so the Grandpa is relieved."

Liu Bei praised Chen Chu deeply and said, "It is said that Cheng Yuanzhi has 80,000 people, but he was wiped out by the general! The general is really an ordinary person!"

Chen Chu laughed, "This is not my credit, it depends entirely on the lives of all the soldiers!"

"Lord (big brother) has apologized!" Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Lu Bu clasped their fists together. Everyone's face was very touched, and even Lu Bu was no exception.

Looking at these three powerful and powerful generals, Liu Bei couldn't help but envy them. He thought to himself: How great would it be if I could have such a brave general!

"Sir, I think these three generals are definitely not ordinary people. I wonder if I am lucky to know each other?" Liu Bei showed a longing expression and asked sincerely.

Chen Chu smiled, looked at the three generals on both sides, and then said to Liu Bei: "Of course." Then he pointed at Lu Bu and said: "This is Lu Bu, whose courtesy name is Fengxian."

When Lu Bu heard this, he bowed to Liu Bei with a slanted body and ignored him. Liu Bei originally wanted to go forward and talk for a few words, but he was bored.

Seeing this scene, Chen Chu couldn't help but feel secretly happy. Then he pointed at Guan Yu and said, "This person is named Guan Yu, and his courtesy name is Yunchang."

Although Guan Yu had a high opinion of himself, he would not be rude in such an occasion. Guan Yu held his fists and bowed in a normal manner. Liu Bei quickly returned the court and said, "I have long admired him!"

I'm afraid it's the first time he heard Guan Yu's name.

Chen Chu finally pointed at Zhang Fei, "This one is Zhang Fei, whose courtesy name is Yide, and I am my second sworn brother."

Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei with disdainful eyes, then said in a broken voice: "You seem to know that your martial arts are ordinary! I, Lao Zhang, don't want to make friends with someone like you! If you have the ability to fight me for three hundred rounds, I will regard you as a character!"

Liu Bei was going to salute Zhang Fei, but was choked on the spot by Zhang Fei's words.

Chen Chu was so happy that he pretended to be angry and said, "Yi De must not be rude! Xuan De is a guest, how can you do this? Hurry up and apologize for your brother!"

Zhang Fei was straightforward and didn't understand that Chen Chu said this on purpose. He was unhappy, but he didn't dare not ignore Chen Chu's words, so he was there and showed a sad expression.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly said, "Sir, this general doesn't think he is malicious, so please don't punish him."

Chen Chu smiled and clasped his fists at Liu Bei and said, "Thank you, Xuande, my second brother has such a temperament, and he is actually very good." He paused and said, "Xuande is in trouble, so why not take a break first. I will give you some wine and meat to Xuande and his subordinates."

Liu Bei quickly clasped his fists and thanked him, and then said, "I am eager to repay the prefect, so I won't delay here."

Chen Chu nodded, "Since that's the case, I won't keep Xuande anymore. Xuande walks slowly."

Liu Bei bowed to Chen Chu again, "I'm saying goodbye." Before leaving, Liu Bei suddenly remembered something, so he turned around and asked Chen Chu, "I don't know what position he is. I'll go back and report it to the prefect."

Chen Chu smiled, "You just say that I am from Bingzhou."

Seeing that the other party didn't want to explain in detail, Liu Bei didn't want to ask in detail. So Liu Bei bowed another time and left.

"Lord, why don't you tell me your identity based on the truth?" Guan Yu asked in confusion after Liu Bei left.

Chen Chu smiled, "I have a low position. If I tell the truth, I am afraid that the prefect Liu will rely on my official position to restrain me. My personal honor and disgrace are small, but if I delay the major event of suppressing the thief, it would be very bad! Therefore, I deliberately made ambiguous decisions, so that Liu Yan did not know my background and did not dare to point fingers at me, so I could act calmly according to my plan."

Guan Yu suddenly realized, and at the same time he couldn't help but sigh at the lord's meticulous thoughts.

"Brother just likes to think about the problem in a complicated way. If Liu Yan dares to complain, I, Old Zhang, will tear him alive!" Zhang Fei said carelessly, with a fierce look on his face.
