Chapter 86: Late arrival
After Liu Chang left Guo Dian, he found a personal guard of his own and said, "You go back quickly now and tell Zhao Xin and others that I have asked them to prepare for the first time. Tens of thousands of people will go to Dingzhou and ask them to properly settle it first. After I have met Huangfu Song, I will go back to Dingzhou. Then we will handle this matter properly."
The personal guard immediately replied, "General, don't worry, I'll go immediately." After saying that, he left Liu Chang. Liu Chang said to Zhang Fei who was standing aside, "Let's go, let's go and meet Zhou Cang again."
Zhang Fei said, "I don't think that man looks like a traitor. What are the big brothers going to ask him for?"
Liu Chang looked at Zhang Fei with a little surprise and answered affirmatively: "I never thought that Yide was so aware of people. This person is indeed not a treacherous person who cares for honor. I'll go here to see if I can recruit him."
Zhang Fei laughed and then yelled: "I have no idea about my vision. That year, I could tell at first glance that my elder brother was not an ordinary person. So there must be no problem with my elder brother going here."
After hearing this, Liu Chang laughed happily and said, "Then I hope it can be as Yide said.
"It's right to listen to me."
And in a broken room, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were gathering next to a fire.
Pei Yuanshao held a curved wooden stick in his hand and held the fire. He said to Zhou Cang with confusion in his tone: "Yuanfu, do you think Liu Chang can really give us the money? I saw him just now that he was swearing, it didn't seem like he was cheating."
Zhou Cang said with some emotion: "I don't know, who knows what he thought. Million yuan is not a small amount. I never thought I could get so much money one day. It's just a pity that General Earthly Lord."
Pei Yuanshao laughed and said, "You haven't thought about it, I have thought about it. If you don't know how to spend it, just lend me all the money."
Zhou Cang said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, if I give it to me, I will lend you more."
"I think he must have sent us tens of thousands of dollars."
"It's not too much to give us tens of thousands of dollars, and we didn't have this ten thousand dollars before. And we saved our lives. The soldiers who entered the city said that Huangfu Song had slaughtered all the Yellow Turban Roads of Guangzong."
"It's good that we both live. Where are you going in the future?"
"Before he had thought about it, if Liu Chang could keep his promise, I would stay and serve him. If it wasn't good to stay here, I would be ready to walk a little south. I don't know if he wants me. What about you, what are you going to do?"
Pei Yuanshao said in a tone that he wanted to take advantage of it: "I'm still waiting for you to lend me money, so let's go with you. Anyway, I have no place to go."
Liu Chang found out where Zhou Cang was and walked outside the house and knocked on the door.
Pei Yuanshao turned his back to the door and shouted without looking back: "Don't knock again, just come in." Then he said to Zhou Cang in a teasing tone: "I don't know who is coming to find us two, please don't ask you to borrow money. I haven't got the money yet, so don't borrow money, come first."
Zhou Cang didn't say anything, so he got up and prepared to open the door.
When Liu Chang heard the shouting inside, he went in directly, but he didn't be polite. He pushed open the door and walked in.
After Zhou Cang saw that it was Liu Chang leading Zhang Fei in, he quickly knelt down and said loudly: "I have seen the general, but I don't know what the general is asking us for."
After hearing this, Pei Yuanshao quickly threw down the wooden stick in his hand, turned around and knelt down at Liu Chang.
Liu Chang hurriedly went up and helped the two of them up and said, "Please get up quickly, two heroes, but I'm so disturbing."
Zhou Cang said with some confusion: "If you don't disturb us, there is nothing we have to do here. I wonder what General Liu is doing to find us?"
Pei Yuanshao muttered in a low voice: "It must be the one who came to give us the money."
Zhou Cang quickly pulled Pei Yuanshao, and then said to Liu Chang nervously: "Please don't be surprised, General, I have always liked to talk nonsense."
Pei Yuanshao also said a little embarrassedly: "I like to talk nonsense, General Liu, please forgive me."
Liu Chang said indifferently: "Nothing is true. It is a good thing for brother Pei Yuanshao to be so straightforward. The money I promised to give you will not be less. But now I am far away from Dingzhou City, and I really have no way to give it to you. After I return to Dingzhou, I will give the money to you immediately."
Zhou Cang explained nervously: "We really don't mean to urge the general. Just give us some money. We are poor people and never thought about this money."
"How can I go back on my word? Don't refuse."
"If the general must give it to me, please share the money to everyone in the city. I really have no face to get this money."
"Hey, even if you want to share this money to others, you will take it as your own. How can I use the money I reward you to do my good name?"
Zhou Cang refused repeatedly and said, "The general can't do this."
Zhang Fei said loudly to Zhou Cang: "It's good if I tell you to obey my elder brother's words. I'm really not a good person."
Zhou Cang knelt down and gave a big gift to Liu Chang and said, "Since the general values me so much, I will definitely repay the general's great kindness."
Liu Chang said: "Are you two brothers willing to follow me to do something?"
The two knelt down and said to Liu Chang, "You should die for the Lord."
Liu Chang explained a new matter to Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, and the two took 30,000 people to Dingzhou the next day. Soon Guo Dian also organized a lot of people to Julu.
A few days later, just when Liu Chang and Guo Dian divided the population similarly, Huangfu Song led his soldiers to Quyang.
At this time, Liu Chang and Guo Dian had moved a lot of the population in this city to other places.
Liu Chang and Guo Dian welcomed Huangfu Song at the city gate.
Huangfu Song looked at the Queen Qu Yang who had been taken down and said to the two of them with approval: "You two are doing a good job. If Dong Zhongying followed your advice, how could he end up like this?"
Guo Dian hurriedly said: "We can take this place down entirely by the general's reputation. Without the great reputation that General Huangfu has made elsewhere, how could we take this place so easily?"
Liu Chang also agreed and said, "We were just using the news that the general easily captured Guangzong, so the three brothers Zhang Jiao were able to kill him, which was the general's divine power."
Huangfu Song heard the two of them’s flattery expressions and continued, “The soldiers are a little tired after coming from Guangzong these days, so let them go to the city to rest first.”
Guo Dian continued to say enthusiastically: "Please ask General Huangfu to come into the city first, and I will arrange for the soldiers to go and rest immediately."
