At the beginning of April, everything has recovered.
The warm sun climbs onto the branches, which is a good time for the Northern Expedition.
Zhang Fei heard that he couldn't get enough food and supplies before leaving, so he came to find Zhao Chen all night.
Zhao Chen could only smile and comfort him: "Yide, don't panic, I have a way!"
Zhang Fei returned to his mansion with doubts and prepared to travel tomorrow.
Now there was only one thing missing from everything, and Zhao Chen couldn't help but worry. After all, Zhao Chen was still 90% sure about the food and grass matter, but he was not 50% sure about it.
Everything depends on human effort, success or failure can only depend on God's will.
That night, Mi Lujun lay beside Zhao Chen, softly comforting Zhao Chen's worried heart.
Zhao Chen kissed Mi Lujun's forehead, thought for a moment, and then fell asleep.
Life in the military camp is always not as comfortable as at home, at least not as peacefully as sleeping, even if Zhao Chen is already very familiar with battlefield games.
Early the next morning, at the east gate of Xiapi City, Liu Bei led hundreds of officials to see off Zhao Chen as he set off for the expedition.
For a long time, the army did not move out.
Guan Yu on the side asked Liu Bei in a low voice: "Brother, is the military advisor unsure about sending troops to Qingzhou?"
When Liu Bei heard this, doubts arose in his heart, so he stepped forward and asked: "Military advisor, this trip is unusual and I am not completely sure. Do you want to consider delaying the expedition for a few days?"
Zhao Chen smiled slightly. Liu Xuande saw that he had not set off yet and was afraid that he would not have enough backup power, so he hesitated.
He replied: "Master, don't worry. Everything is according to Chen's plan. Please stay in Xuzhou with peace of mind."
When Liu Bei heard this, he naturally believed that today's scene is here, and all the officials are waiting.
Zhao Chen understood what Liu Bei meant and whispered: "Master, Chen is waiting for someone."
"who?"
"Hua Tuo, the miraculous doctor of China. On our way north to Qingzhou, our army only has 10,000 troops. If we encounter some sick or injured soldiers on the way, those who can fight will fall rapidly. With the miraculous doctor of Hua, we can save the lives of the soldiers." , reduce casualties.”
Liu Bei suddenly understood and asked hurriedly: "Where is Divine Doctor Hua now?"
"Baixingtang."
Zhao Chen personally visited Hua Tuo yesterday and expressed his intention, hoping that Hua Tuo could travel with the army.
But who knew that Hua Tuo did not agree on the spot, but silently treated the people who came to see him.
Zhang Fei heard this and immediately suggested: "Brother, military advisor, Hua Tuo is so unhappy, why don't I go to the common people's hall and kidnap Hua Tuo?"
Zhao Chen hurriedly stopped him: "Yide must not be impulsive."
Zhang Fei still had the same temper. When he visited Zhuge's thatched cottage, he thought about kidnapping Zhuge Liang to see Liu Bei. Then he thought about setting Zhuge Liang on fire to get him out of bed. Now he wants to kidnap Hua Tuo.
By acting like this, Hua Tuo would ignore Zhao Chen even more with his strong temper.
Seeing Zhao Chen blocking him, Zhang Fei had no choice but to give up.
Everyone waited for a while.
Suddenly a carriage came at the city gate, attracting everyone's attention.
Zhao Chen approached him with great expectation and shouted before he even got close: "Mr. Yuanhua!"
The moment the carriage stopped, Zhao Chen, Liu Bei and others surrounded the carriage, waiting for Hua Tuo to get off with stern eyes.
But who knows, the car curtain is lifted, and a woman comes out.
Zhao Chen exclaimed.
"Why are you here, Junior Master? Where is Mr. Yuanhua?"
The woman is none other than Bu Lianshi!
Trainer Bu replied: "There is no need to look for virtue, the master never agreed."
Zhao Chen was full of disappointment, but he could only pretend that nothing happened, smiled and said to Master Bu: "In this case, the army will set off immediately. Junior master, please go back quickly."
Trainer Bu suddenly grabbed Zhao Chen's hand and looked at Zhao Chen firmly.
"My husband is in need of a doctor when his army travels. A small teacher is not talented. I studied medicine with my master for several months and gained some success. I am willing to go out with my husband's army."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Chen hurriedly pulled the Bu trainer aside and scolded: "Young master, please don't mess around. The expedition is a national event. The swords on the battlefield have no eyes and the military camps are all men. How can there be any reason for women to accompany the army? "
Faced with Zhao Chen's questioning, Master Bu did not flinch at all.
"There is no need to say more about Houde, Xiaoshi has already decided. It is not easy for my husband to attack Qingzhou with an army of ten thousand. With Xiaoshi's medical skills, the army can be less harmed and can also take care of Houde's daily life, which is the best choice. "
Zhao Chen wanted to persuade him again, but the trainer blocked Zhao Chen's mouth with his hands and said, "Instead of missing me in the sky, it's better to advance and retreat together with you!"
Then he gave some instructions to the coachman beside him, led a horse, got on his horse and walked into the team.
This simple act left everyone stunned.
When Zhao Chen saw this, he also smiled slightly, and a warm current surged out from his heart.
He bid farewell to Liu Bei and others, and led the army along Tanxian and Kaiyang, all the way towards Jucheng.
This is the first time I have seen an expedition led by a woman.
Jucheng is located northeast of Kaiyang, about 120 miles away from Kaiyang, and is built on the Shu River.
Xiao Jian, the Prime Minister of Langya Kingdom, is conservative, but he has a special approach to the construction of Langya Kingdom.
Langya Kingdom is located on the seaside, with Mount Tai as a barrier to the west. It can only be connected from the north to the south. The territory is relatively independent, so it is less involved.
Qingzhou was severely affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Although Langya State bordered Qingzhou, it was not greatly affected after Zang Ba wiped out the nearby Yellow Turbans.
When Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou, Lu Bu wrote to Xiao Jian, hoping that the two sides could establish contacts.
Xiao Jian agreed and sent gifts to Lu Bu, including five good horses.
Zhao Chen chose Jucheng as the first stop on his way north to Qingzhou. Firstly, this road was the only way and the army could not bypass it. Secondly, the place was quite rich. Xiao Jian had a large amount of supplies hidden in the city, which was enough to supply the people who were short of food and grass. Ten thousand troops.
Historically, Zang Ba defeated Xiao Jian and captured Jucheng, thus harvesting the city's supplies.
Now Zhao Chen is thinking about this material.
Zhao Chen raised 10,000 troops and marched all the way towards Jucheng. Xiao Jian heard about it and hurried to the city to check.
Outside Jucheng, dust was flying and the ground was shaking slightly.
Looking around, the flags are flying and the people and horses are in good spirits.
Xiao Jian sighed: "Zhao Chen is indeed worthy of his reputation. All soldiers must not take it lightly!"
After about a stick of incense, Zhao Chen, Zhang Liao and Chen Dao came to the city to call for battle.
"Xiao Jian, my lord Liu Xuande has entered Xuzhou, why haven't you come to pay me a visit?"
Xiao Jian squinted his eyes and saw that this person had a bookish look on his face. He must be Zhao Chen.
"Zhao Chen, why do you ask even though you know clearly? Langya Kingdom is the land of the Emperor, not Liu Xuande's land. My position is appointed by the Emperor. How can I visit Liu Xuande?"
When Zhao Chen heard this, he smiled and said: "In the past, Dong's thieves rebelled against the Han Dynasty, and all the princes raised their troops to defeat Dong, but they did not see you. Now that the emperor is in the hands of Cao's thieves, you keep saying that you will be loyal to the emperor. Are you loyal to the emperor or to Cao Cao? thief?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jian didn't know how to respond, so he could only hesitate.
"No matter what, please ask Houde to lead the troops back, so as not to damage the peace between the two families."
Zhao Chen understood and replied: "In this case, it is useless to talk more. Don't blame us for being ruthless when the city is destroyed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Dao and Zhang Liao on both sides showed their spears, pointing at Xiao Jian at the top of the city.
The cold light reflected on the city wall, making many soldiers on the wall shudder.
