Chapter 283 Zhang Liao: I Can Still Fight!

Bai Ze stepped into the museum with unparalleled confidence.

He glanced at the famous general behind him, the one who broke one hundred thousand with eight hundred soldiers, and his mood was incomparably refreshed. Zhang Liao was robust, and when he revived, he had short hair, sharp short hair, peaceful eyebrows, and a calm and gentle temperament. At first glance, one could tell that he was from the military.

Having a powerful figure as a companion made him so confident.

From today onwards! All the men on this old street will have to look up to me!

Bai Ze made a dashing entrance!

Then he saw Lord Wu'an and Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, playing chess.

The two sat there solemnly, and when they played chess, they could make people feel a terrifying aura of slaughter and violence. Bai Qi nodded with a smile, gradually beginning to recall the past. Xiang Hongyu gritted his teeth, searching for a way out, his thick eyebrows furrowed.

"You're here?"

"Oh, uh, I'm here."

"Have a seat."

"Ah, uh, okay."

Bai Ze had only hardened up for a short while before wilting as soon as he entered the door.

Zhang Liao, a fierce man who broke one hundred thousand with eight hundred, isn't he awesome?!

Totally awesome.

But what about comparing him to the Hegemon-King, or to Lord Wu'an?

There was Lord Wu'an for military strategy and the Hegemon-King for fierce attacks.

This famous general, who left behind the terrifying legend that stopped children from crying, seemed a little faded.

Not to mention the Hegemon-King.

Lord Wu'an's value was universally acknowledged as the best at encirclement and annihilation warfare and guerrilla warfare.

It was like beauties needing comparison.

Since ancient times, generals were like beauties, not allowed to show their white hair to the world. And comparing famous generals also had to be done.

For example, Sima Yi, who was once known for retreating like the wind, breaking Meng Da in thirteen days, and pacifying Liaodong in three battles and three victories in a few months, only turned into a coward ridiculed by Li Jing and Li Shimin for using the world's soldiers against one province, holding his ground and refusing to come out when he met Zhuge Wuhou.

And Cao Ren, who was revered as 'Cao Da Sima's courage, not even Ben and Yu could surpass, Zhang Liao is second to him', whose courage was comparable to Zhang Liao's, who had 'the ingenuity of Tian Dan, and aroused the anger of the masses', who was good at fierce attacks and breakthroughs, and who led a small elite force to break through and intercept Yuan Shao's grain route in the Battle of Guandu.

In later generations' games and fan creations, most of them were generals extremely skilled in defense.

For example, Cao Ren in a certain "True XX Warriors," was like a heavily armored and humanoid Gundam.

It was because he met Guan Yu in his prime when he was at the height of his fame.

As a result, his most famous achievement in his life was defending to the death, resisting Guan Yunchang's military advance.

A general who originally had an aggressive style was forced to become an old turtle of defense.

The most painful thing for famous generals and heroes was meeting someone stronger in the same era.

Even more painful was going from mortal enemies, living or dying, not existing under the same sky.

In the end, they were forcibly stuffed into fan fiction and turned into a couple.

And Lord Wu'an's achievements also needed to be compared with other generals, such as Wang Jian.

The Battle of Qin's destruction of Chu was a vast trend that swept and unified the world.

In addition, Wang Jian's army of six hundred thousand steadily gnawed it down.

Wang Jian's six hundred thousand destroyed the Chu state, which had declined after moving its capital.

And that bold and domineering Chu state, which sang "Li Sao" aloud, possessed abundant martial virtue, thousands of miles of territory, and millions of soldiers, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, incomparably powerful, with the ambition and spirit to swallow the world, and even had such a foundation, was the one whose spine was broken by Lord Wu'an.

And he only used less than one hundred thousand soldiers.

One hundred thousand Qin soldiers pierced through the Chu state, fighting within the enemy's territory.

They were called 'fighting alone in the Chu territory, seeking survival in a desperate situation.'

He forced a powerful country in its prime during the Spring and Autumn Period to move its capital, lose a large amount of territory, and burn the tombs of the Chu kings. In fact, the Battle of Changping was only disastrous in its consequences, far from being the peak of Bai Qi's art of war.

Horizontally comparing the impact of the Battle of Yan and Ying in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, it was probably like in the last era, during a world war, a Chinese army suddenly swung its spears upwards, pierced through the mountain ranges on the border, and fought in the territory of the old Russian superpower during its peak period, traversing all the way in a reverse penetration.

Within a year, the old Russian capital became a northern Chinese county.

All the armories were confiscated, and important memorial halls were burned, but the other side couldn't even say a word.

They could only sneakily run to the other side and bide their time.

It was called a shock to the world.

This was how one could imagine why Great Qin directly conferred him as Lord Wu'an. This achievement was simply too terrifying. In any era, he would be a heaven-sent hero, the kind of hero who could support a country's hegemony. There were only one or two of them in five thousand years.

Confer! Directly cross the ranks to confer, confer a title!

Brothers from the various states, don't panic yet.

Let the Qin people panic first.

It doesn't matter if you haven't seen such a hero. The point is that we Qin people haven't seen one either.

His reputation led to the fact that even after he was given death by the King of Qin, the Qin people all pitied him and established a shrine in Xianyang.

Zhang Liao, who broke one hundred thousand with eight hundred soldiers only once, was really not enough compared to Lord Wu'an. And the Hegemon-King over there, unparalleled in courage throughout the ages, the undisputed number one in military tactics, seemed not enough compared to him as a fierce general of the same type.

Actually, it was also because Zhang Liao's opponents were not valuable enough.

Bai Ze pondered.

He possessed a high degree of self-criticism.

Not working hard enough, not working hard enough!

How could he be so lazy?!

Bai Ze felt that his strong companion was not working hard enough!

Really, how could a person be so lazy?!

If he had broken through Cao Mengde with eight hundred against one hundred thousand.

He would have been directly deified!

Bai Ze began to reflect.

Actually, it was also my fault…

Not enough strong companions!

………………

Just as Bai Ze, who had hardened up for less than a minute, regained his composure under the cruel reality.

Wei Yuan was in the flower shop.

In fact, after yesterday's embarrassment—at least, superficially, it was embarrassing—Wei Yuan was a little embarrassed to come in. But the things that Zuo Jiuyin talked about were extremely important and had to be told to Jue. After a round of mental struggle, Wei Yuan still knocked on the door.

A moment later, the flower shop door opened a crack, and the girl poked her head out.

Wei Yuan could clearly see the confusion and shock on Jue's face, as well as a multifaceted and complex wary expression mixed with 'why are you here now,' 'are you planning to continue,' 'you don't have a household registration book in your arms, do you?'

"I didn't bring it today."

Wei Yuan blurted out subconsciously.

The girl's face, her thoughts having been spoken aloud, turned slightly red. She glared at him, biting her teeth, and then opened the door.

"I didn't want to know."

Wei Yuan entered the door and sat on a chair, while the heavenly maiden sat on the chair opposite him.

The two were silent.

The girl's ears slowly turned red, like a progress bar.

Wei Yuan took a slight breath, and when the atmosphere turned in another direction, he opened his mouth in advance and said, "Jue, about the matter of Kunlun, I thought about it yesterday and thought of a few doubts and current problems…"

"Hmm?"

When the matter was brought up, Jue quickly restrained her distractions.

Wei Yuan calmed his mind and recounted the general situation, the analysis of Zuo Jiuyin, in his own way and understanding. Although he really wanted to ask more questions, he was forced back by Zuo Jiuyin's eyes.

Those eyes probably contained meanings such as, 'Is it useful to tell you?' 'Even if I tell you more, your brain capacity can't understand it, and it might even overload and burn, turning into braised pork brains.' Even Wei Yuan, a person who had experienced things, had to retreat.

Just the part he saw in front of him was already terrifying enough.

At least Wei Yuan saw the change on Jue's face from calm, shock, loss of focus, confusion to the last series of changes. Finally, the girl's fingers subconsciously twirled together, pursed her lips, barely calming down. And Wei Yuan also knew Zuo Jiuyin's 'happiness.'

The so-called grace of the wise was to like seeing the shock and paleness of others when a word broke the situation. For example, Sherlock Holmes had to hold back until the end to say the answer.

Then Wei Yuan remembered that he was also one of the pale people.

More likely the most shocked one, no, one of those three.

Wei Yuan mocked himself in his heart.

Then he said, "In any case, be careful, Jue. If you encounter anything, you can come and discuss it with me. We must be vigilant about Kai Ming, and on the other hand, we must also look for the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West, look for Geng Chen, and accumulate prestige among the many mountain gods. The previous choice was not wrong."

The girl nodded.

Wei Yuan's voice paused: "In addition, the mountain gods of the Western Mountain Realm can be trusted."

"Hmm?"

Seeing Jue's surprised eyes, Wei Yuan said, "A very simple speculation."

For Zuo Jiuyin.

"After all, Kunlun Mountain, Lu Wu, and the remains of Buzhou Mountain are all in the Western Mountain Realm, in addition…"

He recalled what Zuo Jiuyin had said indifferently yesterday, his voice paused, and said:

"Zhong Mountain is also in the Western Mountain Realm."

"A smart person like Kai Ming, even if he really wants to grasp some kind of power, will not choose the Western Mountain Realm, because the many mountain veins are connected. To completely control the Western Mountain Realm means that he must deal with that kind of complex situation. And even if Lu Wu is sleeping and Buzhou Mountain has collapsed, there is still Zuo Jiuyin."

"And Zuo Jiuyin is precisely the opponent that Kai Ming is least willing to encounter."

Yesterday, the man with ancient eyes spoke as a matter of course.

Standing with his hands behind his back, he said that when Lu Wu was asleep, Buzhou collapsed, and the sky tilted to the northwest, he still had a hand to support the sky. His tone was so flat that people felt that what he said was the truth. It was clearly an understatement, but he was so domineering and indifferent that even Wei Yuan was amazed.

How could someone perform the art of bragging so lightly and without fireworks?

Curator Wei couldn't help but complain in his heart.

I thought that Emperor Zheng's bragging was already invincible in the world, but there was actually someone so brave.

Whose general is this again?

As for the effect, one could see from the faces of Ji Xuanyuan and Xing Tian, who were full of envy, how much these two steel old men were touched by this sentence. The lyrics of Ji Xuanyuan's war song back then probably meant, 'You have to listen, if you don't listen, I will chop off your heads and finely chop them into mincemeat.' These cultured people are different.

The expression on the two's faces was almost that they would slide over, hug Zuo Jiuyin's leg, and shout, "Coach, I want to learn how to brag."

However, both were top-notch in the Age of Gods.

Both held the level of 'Realm.'

Both involved timelines.

Both were strong men who were not known for their strength in the Age of Gods but could not be ignored.

Zuo Jiuyin was undoubtedly an opponent that Kai Ming was unwilling to encounter, and conversely, Kai Ming was definitely an opponent that Zuo Jiuyin did not like to encounter. Wei Yuan sighed, and he felt that the kindness was too heavy and needed to be repaid well.

Well... well...

He had to cook a few more meals.

And there was another part of Zuo Jiuyin's judgment that he didn't say.

Even Wei Yuan could see it.

'Within the vast world belonging to the Classic of the Five Viscera Mountains.'

'Seeing that the Queen Mother of the West was likely to be imprisoned, only the mountain gods of the Classic of the Western Mountains came. The choices of the other four Classics of the Mountain were already clear to the point of being cruel. Sometimes, not making a choice is already the clearest choice.'

Wei Yuan didn't plan to say it, but he also saw the expression on the girl's face, and it was obvious that she had guessed it.

Immediately, he mocked himself, his thinking ability was just average.

Even he could see what was going on, how could Jue not see it?

He got up, squatted down slightly, looked at Jue's eyes, and said in a gentle tone:

"Don't worry, Jue, I'm here."

"If you encounter anything, you can come and discuss it with me, and I will definitely help you."

And then I'll go back and ask Zuo Jiuyin.

Wei Yuan seemed to have heard the gray-robed man hum indifferently.

Wei just pretended not to hear it, and then smiled and changed the subject, saying, "Before, that A Zhao helped you analyze the situation. This time, let's invite her to the museum for a meal. After all, she's a neighbor on the street, and we should have some interaction. I have to thank her properly too."

"Hmm."

Jue was much calmer than Wei Yuan had expected, and had already regained her composure.

Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then joked:

"By the way, if you want to propose marriage, is Zuo Jiuyin qualified? To be on par with Kunlun."

"Enough... Hmm?!"

Jue answered subconsciously.

Then she reacted to what the other party had asked, her eyes widened, and even the sense of oppression from Kai Ming was ignored for a moment.

Her face flushed red, and she suddenly looked at the museum owner in front of her, stammering, unable to speak.

"You, you, you…"

In the morning light, the youth with a smile on his face saw the gloom on the girl's face disappear a little, relaxed, and at this time, he especially couldn't let Jue overthink. Facing such pressure, the more she thought about it, the more suffocated she would feel. Wei Yuan had experienced too much and could get used to facing this kind of pain.

Just seeing the girl's flushed cheeks, breathing like orchids, he still slowed his tone and subconsciously asked with a smile:

"Why don't you say I'm a lecher today?"

Jue was stunned.

She seemed to see that former great thief.

Then she reacted, her face red, and pushed Wei Yuan out of the flower shop, slamming the door shut.

Leaning against the wooden door with ancient carved patterns on her back, her chest rose and fell.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and shouted:

"Lecher! Lecher! Lecher!"

Wei Yuan was stunned, with a smile on his lips.

That cold and indifferent heavenly maiden who he first met seemed to have disappeared.

She had already entered the mortal world.

He turned around happily and returned to the museum. When he opened the door, he happened to see Bai Ze who was immersed in self-reflection.

And the calm and powerful famous general over there.

Wait… Zhang Liao of Wei?!

Wei Yuan recognized the man.

Or rather, when they first met, he was still a general under Lü Fengxian.

Immediately, he was surprised.

He had just said a few days ago that Bai Ze had revived him so quickly?!

Wait a minute?

This guy… is so efficient?

He's too disciplined, isn't he?

Wei Yuan looked suspiciously at Bai Ze, who was in deep thought.

He felt that Bai Ze had the potential to be a 007 overtime worker in the new era.

Bai Ze shivered, sensed something was wrong, and suddenly raised his head, seeing Wei Yuan over there.

The instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune almost sounded in his heart.

Damn, the vibe's wrong, thorny, time to scram!

Just as he was about to leave, a hand slapped on his shoulder.

"Bai Ze, haha, I was just thinking of looking for you, and you came."

With the strength of a dragon and a tiger, Wei Yuan smiled:

"Come, my room is quite big, let's go and chat?"

About your overtime problem.
