Chapter 38

Qin Feng led his own elite force, along with two thousand imperial troops and Liu Bei's five hundred royal auxiliaries to Changshe.

Intelligence reported that the battle between Huangfu Song's imperial troops and the rebel forces was about to break out.

Liu Bei wanted to join the battle as soon as possible and proposed a plan to launch a fierce attack on the rear of the rebel forces.

However, from Qin Feng's perspective, the rebels, numbering about two hundred thousand, were not easy to deal with. His side, at most, had three thousand men. If the rebels turned around, they would immediately be surrounded. Therefore, he proposed another strategy: if they won, they would attack from both sides; if they lost, they would advance fiercely from the rear. Everything would depend on the movement of the Yellow Turban's large formation.

Liu Bei felt that this plan was more complete than his own, balancing offense and defense, and pleasing both sides.

To obtain the latest intelligence, Qin Feng himself acted as a scout, hiding near the battlefield to observe the situation.

Liu Bei, having followed Qin Feng for a long time, found that Qin Feng was a particularly fortunate person, always achieving the greatest merit. Therefore, Liu Bei, who wanted to achieve great merit to revive his family, decided to closely follow him. Thus, Liu Bei brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to follow Qin Feng.

Changshe, in the distant future, would be known as an ancient battlefield, where many battles took place. One of these famous battles was currently underway. Even though Qin Feng had experienced a lifetime of battles, when he saw the endless soldiers and formations on the battlefield, he was still filled with excitement.

As Qin Feng observed, the situation on the battlefield was clear. The Yellow Turban forces numbered about 150,000, forming a large formation of over 100,000 men with a fish-scale array, covering several miles. The imperial troops, on the other hand, were much smaller in number, with only 50,000 men and a much smaller formation. However, the imperial troops were better equipped, with the cold light of their swords and spears reflecting a more intense killing aura than the rebels.

"Full of familiar faces," Qin Feng muttered, looking at the front of the Yellow Turban formation. He saw three grand banners of the Zhang family, which were the most impressive: "General of the Earth, Zhang Bao," "General of the People, Zhang Liang," and "Black Mountain, Zhang Yan." On either side of these three banners were countless other banners, bearing the names of "Bo Cai," "Bu Ji," and others, who were among the eight major generals of the Yellow Turbans.

Looking at the front of the imperial troops, the banners of the Left Middle General Huangfu Song and the Right Middle General Zhu Jun were in the center of the flag gate, with the banners of "Cao Cao of the Imperial Guard" and "Yuan Shao of the Imperial Guard" being the most prominent on either side.

While Qin Feng remained calm, Liu Bei pointed and exclaimed, "Second Brother, Third Brother, that's General Cao Mengde, I know him!"

Everyone saw a general banner behind Cao Cao, which read "Cao Cao of the Imperial Guard." The Imperial Guard was the emperor's army, superior to other armies. Now controlled by the Grand General He Jin, with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao as his trusted subordinates, those who could command the Imperial Guard were all great figures.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but say, "Brother, you know this general of the Imperial Guard!"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Not just know, I know him very well." He then proudly told his two brothers, "On the way back home, I saved this General Cao from the encirclement of 5,000 Yellow Turban rebels."

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who didn't expect such a story, were even more admiring when they heard that Liu Bei had saved Cao Cao amidst thousands of enemies.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and rarely opened his eyes, saying, "Brother, for the country and the people, with great righteousness, you single-handedly saved the imperial troops, truly a role model for us to follow!"

"I think so too!" Zhang Fei immediately echoed.

Qin Feng, upon hearing this, felt a chill run down his spine. "Hmm... too many sores..." He cleared his throat, and Liu Bei was startled. He didn't dare to offend Qin Feng and quickly said, "Of course, at that time, General Qin was also present, and it was he and I who saved General Cao." Liu Bei, to gain favor with Qin Feng, immediately used Qin Feng's hometown dialect, calling himself "Liu Li."

Qin Feng, upon hearing "Liu Li," laughed. Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, wiping cold sweat from his forehead, thinking, "Qin Zijin, you don't expose me, I can do anything."

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu exchanged glances, their faces filled with admiration. Guan Yu clasped his hands and said, "All righteous men have a connection, and Brother, you knew General Qin so early and even met this General Cao together!"

Qin Feng's smile vanished, and he coldly snorted. How could he not know that Liu Bei was taking credit to win over Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? But what kind of person was Qin Feng? He was not interested in competing with Liu Bei for credit.

By his side, Dian Wei, who didn't know the inside story, and Xu Chu, who knew everything, saw Liu Bei taking credit for their lord's achievements and immediately showed a look of dissatisfaction. Xu Chu, with his large waist, glared at Liu Bei and said, "Liu Xuande, what are you? Just trying to take credit for yourself! When we saved Cao Mengde, it was all thanks to our lord's strategy of using decoy troops. I, Xu Chu, though not very capable, killed the Yellow Turban leader, which led to our victory. At that time, you were so scared that you didn't dare to join the fight and were even knocked down by the fleeing Yellow Turbans, with your ribs broken!"

"Ribs broken? How many people must have trampled over you?" Dian Wei's bull eyes widened. "Is this true? This Liu Li is too shameless!"

"Ahh!" Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, upon hearing this, one with a face black as ink, the other with a face red as purple, both looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's eyelids twitched, thinking, "Xu Chu, you damn fool, your lord didn't say anything, and you're meddling." He couldn't admit it and shouted, "Brothers, don't listen to his nonsense, it's slander! I was bravely fighting the enemy, and my ribs were broken by a blow, not trampled. Even with broken ribs, I continued to fight and defeated the Yellow Turbans, saving Cao Mengde!"

These words, spoken with great righteousness, even made Qin Feng unable to bear it. His face darkened, thinking, "You one-eared fox, just like in the past, whenever there's an opportunity, I'll make you pay."

Xu Chu, enraged, pointed at Liu Bei and said to Dian Wei, "I've seen shameless people, but never one as shameless as this. Not daring to fight is one thing, but claiming credit for others' victories is another!"

Dian Wei, more straightforward than Zhang Fei, and equally loyal, couldn't bear to see his lord suffer. He shouted, "There are actually such shameless people in the world!"

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were angry, but more confused, wanting to verify the truth with their brother. Therefore, they both looked at Liu Bei with their copper eyes.

At this moment, a sudden turn of events occurred. Liu Bei used his ultimate skill and cried, "Wah, I never thought that despite my utmost efforts to help the world, the world would treat me like this!"

Oh! Although Qin Feng had seen Liu Bei cry many times in his past life, seeing it for the first time in this life still made him clutch his chest, unable to bear it. He then thought, "Bad, when Liu Bei cries, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei become mechanical fighters, with no artificial intelligence."

Sure enough, when Zhang Fei and Guan Yu saw their brother crying, what kind of people were they? Both were great heroes, who couldn't bear to see anyone cry, especially their brother. Immediately, a sense of injustice for their brother rose in their hearts.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately chose to unconditionally believe their brother.

Zhang Fei's beard bristled, his copper eyes widened, and he brandished his snake spear, shouting, "Shameless Xu Chu, you slander my brother, take this!"

Dian Wei's bull eyes widened, his beard bristling even more than Zhang Fei's. He shook his double iron halberds and, with a clang, deflected Zhang Fei's spear back.

Thus, on the battlefield, before Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's imperial troops could engage Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's Yellow Turban rebels, Qin Feng's Dragon Guards and Liu Bei's brothers started fighting in the shadows.
