Chapter 37

Qin Feng looked at his former nemesis, Zhang He, and smiled sincerely, saying, "Although I have known Junyi for a short time, in my heart, he is like an old friend. Is it too abrupt for me to say this?"

Zhang He felt warmth in his heart upon hearing this and bowed, saying, "It is a great honor for me to be able to associate with the general."

Qin Feng was quite pleased and hurriedly said, "Yesterday, I received an order from General Lu, and today I must go to Changshe to assist General Huangfu Song. I really don't want to part with Junyi." He had already made up his mind that as soon as Zhang He showed any intention of following him, he would immediately go to Lu Zhi to request him. Although Zhang He was a subordinate of Han Fu, Lu Zhi was his superior, and if he spoke, there would be no problem.

Zhang He sighed and said, "In the past, I heard others speak and joined General Han Fu's army, regretting that I couldn't meet General Qin earlier. General Han Fu promoted me, and I have not repaid his kindness, so I dare not leave. However, we are all serving the court. I will stay here and wish General Qin success in Changshe!"

Qin Feng felt very frustrated upon hearing this, thinking, "I knew it wouldn't be that easy." But he thought again, in the current situation, people still respected the Han court. Everything would change once Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor and burned Luoyang. Then, ministers and generals like Zhang He would seek out wise rulers to achieve great things.

To avoid annoying others, Qin Feng did not say anything more but tried to build a relationship for the future.

"Life is full of disappointments, nine out of ten times..." Finally, Qin Feng sighed bitterly and bid farewell.

Although Zhang He had only known Qin Feng for a few days, he respected him greatly and saw him off a long way from the military tent before returning with tears.

Half an hour later, outside the camp gate.

Two groups of soldiers were clearly distinguished. One was a cavalry unit, clad in iron armor and wielding steel swords, looking mighty and imposing. The other was an infantry unit, clad in wooden armor and holding wooden spears.

In front of the cavalry, various banners were displayed, including the banners of the Righteous Army, the Xian Army, and the banner of the other司马 (military commander).

Next to Qin Feng's banner, a large "Imperial Assistance Army" banner was flying, and another large banner read "Imperial Assistance Army Liu Bei."

Lu Zhi, Han Fu, and others saw Qin Feng off at the camp gate, while Liu Bei had been waiting outside for a long time. Fortunately, Lu Zhi had given Liu Bei three horses, so the three brothers now had mounts.

"May you achieve victory in Changshe, Zijin!" Lu Zhi said.

Qin Feng did not act pretentiously, returned the salute, and turned around, his red cloak fluttering as he mounted his horse.

Suddenly, he felt the bright sunlight and thought, "I've forgotten about my sunglasses for a while." So Qin Feng smiled and carefully took out his sunglasses from his chest and put them on.

As soon as he put on the sunglasses, the atmosphere changed. Everyone felt that Qin Feng's aura had transformed.

Everyone thought, "What is General Qin wearing? It looks so good and gives him a special aura!"

Majestic and imposing, truly extraordinary! Even Lu Zhi was stunned by the future warrior's aura.

Lu Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Zijin, what is that on your face?"

Qin Feng extended his right index finger and adjusted the lens. Although his eyes couldn't be seen, the smile on his face was evident. He thought, "Ha, you're stunned, right? You won't see this for another thousand years." He smiled and said, "This is a pair of sunglasses. I found them during my travels from a very, very distant place. It's the only one in the world!"

Lu Zhi and others marveled, amazed by Qin Feng's imposing appearance with the sunglasses and his distant travels to bring back such a powerful accessory.

Since Qin Feng put on the sunglasses, Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood even straighter. They felt that if they didn't show more, they would be unworthy of their lord's increased dignity. They thought, "Our lord is no ordinary person; just look at the divine objects he possesses."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also greatly surprised. Guan Yu, who rarely opened his phoenix eyes, immediately widened them and sighed, "Such a divine object, truly extraordinary. I wish I had one!"

Zhang Fei exclaimed, "These sunglasses are really magical. Once I put them on, I can't even look at him!"

Liu Bei saw that everyone was attracted to Qin Feng, and no one was paying attention to him. He had seen Qin Feng wear sunglasses before, so he was less affected. He thought, "Qin Zijin, you're just putting on a show." He wanted to say something to Lu Zhi and others.

But in the end, he only said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, "Wearing sunglasses makes you look imposing and majestic? You're so easily stunned? You don't know... ." Liu Bei waved his hand in a semicircle and said in a high-pitched voice, "Qin Zijin also has a big, flowery pair of shorts, probably the only one in the world. If he wears them outside, he would look even more imposing and majestic!"

"Big, flowery shorts! Worn outside!" Upon hearing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's minds were filled with shock, and they were even more stunned!

Liu Bei hurriedly said, "That's right, just a pair of shorts with a pattern. How can he wear them in public? I, Liu Bei, have never seen such a shameless person!"

Fortunately, Qin Feng didn't hear it. If he had, he would have dismissed it. Liu Bei's outfit, though old-fashioned, couldn't be pawned for even one pattern on Qin Feng's big, flowery shorts. After all, Qin Feng's big, flowery shorts were made by an 80-year-old tailor from the Playboy brand, custom-made, and not available to the general public.

Looking at the future warrior's retreating figure, Lu Zhi sighed, "This man is no ordinary person. He will surely achieve great things and shine brightly in the future!"

Everyone thought of the face with the sunglasses and sighed, "Indeed, he will shine brightly!"

Three days later, ten miles northeast of Changshe.

A group of about 3,000 soldiers was marching, clearly distinguished.

One side had three main banners, symbolizing the identity of this army. They were the banners of the Righteous Army, the Xian Army, and the official banner with the words "Yecheng Qin Feng." This side was a mixed cavalry and infantry unit, fully armed, with uniform equipment, marching in strict formation, clearly a regular army.

The other side, the soldiers wore armor made of wooden plates and held wooden spears, all infantry, marching loosely and whispering to each other. They looked like they were just playing around. However, their banner was impressive, with the words "Imperial Assistance Army" in large letters.

No wonder their formation was disorganized and their equipment poor; they were the Imperial Assistance Army!

Under the banner, a man in a golden helmet and armor, holding a golden spear, wore sunglasses.

Next to him was a man in simple clothing, a small hat, and a broken armor, but with two sharp swords on his back, without scabbards. Although he didn't wear sunglasses, his ears were particularly long, and his hands almost touched the horse's hooves when he was on the horse, with an extraordinary appearance.

"General Qin, I've heard that the rebel forces in Changshe number 200,000, while the government forces only have 50,000. I wonder how we will fight?" said Liu Bei with long ears.

Before Qin Feng could answer, a Qin army scout came from afar, dismounted, and reported, "Lord, we have discovered the enemy situation. General Huangfu Song's forces are currently gathering in Changshe, and the rebel forces are also gathering..."

This was clearly going to be a major battle, ready to break out at any moment.

Liu Bei suddenly had an idea and hurriedly said, "General Qin, why don't we attack from behind and catch the enemy off guard?"

It was indeed a good idea, but Qin Feng did not move.

Liu Bei thought he would agree, but seeing Qin Feng remain silent, he thought, "Qin Zijin is very cunning. He must have a reason for not moving!"

Therefore, Liu Bei did not move either.

Qin Feng, seeing that Liu Bei did not go, said, "We will hide behind the enemy's formation. If General Huangfu Song wins, we will attack from both sides. If the government forces fail, the Yellow Turban rebels will certainly pursue them. Then we will attack from behind and rescue General Huangfu Song."

Liu Bei felt that this plan was much better than his own, thinking, "No wonder Qin Zijin is so clever. This way, no matter the outcome, we will have credit."

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were greatly impressed and said together, "General Qin, what a great plan!"

Liu Bei felt a bit itchy in his teeth.

So, Qin Feng led the troops to hide in a forest three miles behind the Yellow Turban army, outside the main battlefield.

Qin Feng did not want to wait idly, so he took Xu Chu and Dian Wei as scouts to observe the battlefield. Liu Bei, with a quick turn of his eyes, followed with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

After a short while, Qin Feng and the others were hidden near the battlefield.

Qin Feng looked out and saw a vast army on the battlefield. As a government
