God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The recognition and pursuit of citizenship made these Roman barbarians more courageous, more convinced of their beliefs, and more ambitious.

That is why, despite running for so long, these people did not give up. Instead, they persisted in their pursuit, trying to wait for everything to end, for the credit to be earned, and for their status and class to be transformed.

With such a large army led by Wei Yan and Xu Huang, the surviving barbarian legions had a very high probability of becoming citizens of the Roman Empire and enjoying the privileges due to Roman citizens.

With such a high success rate and such low risk, it would have been unthinkable in the past. Now that it's happening right in front of us, how could we not take a chance?
"Is that Marquis Wen?" Wei Yan, who was looking at the friendly forces ahead, also saw a very handsome, conspicuous, and familiar person after a short while.

"Lord Wen, Lü Bu?" Hearing such a familiar name, Xu Huang's curiosity grew even more. He followed the gaze and immediately spotted the most conspicuous figure in the crowd.

No matter the occasion, Lu Bu is always the most flamboyant and handsome figure on the battlefield, making him a very prominent presence.

However, the fact that he had such a high level of presence and hadn't been killed on the battlefield already demonstrated Lu Bu's strength.

In any case, Xu Huang wouldn't dare to do such a thing; if he did, he would have died on the battlefield long ago.

Xu Huang, who considers himself an ordinary person, feels that his actions should be closer to those of a normal person. This kind of action that emphasizes his presence is not suitable for someone like him.

“There are many people in the world who don’t know us, but very few who don’t know each other.” Wei Yan pointed to himself and then to Xu Huang, saying in a somewhat joking tone, “Just like we know Marquis Wen, but Marquis Wen might not know us.”

Although there was some teasing in his words, Xu Huang still acknowledged this point, as he knew Lü Bu, the strongest man in the Han Empire, very well.

Only the strong and those with special status are worthy of being remembered by Lü Bu. Ordinary people are not worthy of announcing their names in front of Lü Bu, let alone being remembered by him.

Although this behavior was indeed a bit arrogant, Xu Huang thought it was normal after considering Lu Bu's martial prowess.

If you can't beat Lü Bu, then trying to teach Lü Bu a lesson is just nonsense.

Someone with martial prowess as high as Lü Bu would only be able to be reasoned with if you really wanted to teach him a lesson, by going along with his obsessive ways; otherwise, it would be nothing but nonsense.

Thanks to his superior physical abilities, Lü Bu overheard the conversation between Xu Huang and Wei Yan, even though they were hundreds of paces apart and the sound of numerous horses' hooves could be heard.

"Wen Yuan, in other people's eyes now, am I someone who doesn't remember anyone?" Lu Bu glanced at Xu Huang and Wei Yan, wanting to show that he knew them, but upon hearing what they said, he turned to Zhang Liao and asked directly.

Zhang Liao, who was directly asked the question, was a little confused and said that he had no idea what was going on. He could only shake his head slightly.

"As expected, Wen Yuan understands me best. Outsiders are just spreading rumors." Seeing Zhang Liao nod, Lü Bu's words carried a hint of satisfaction, and even a great deal of joy.

Outsiders are always outsiders; they can never truly understand him.

In fact, Lü Bu remembered Xu Huang and Wei Yan entirely because of their special qualities, not because of their abilities.

The reason Lü Bu remembered Wei Yan was because Wei Yan's face was similar to Guan Yu's. Whether out of curiosity or gossip, Lü Bu remembered Wei Yan, this guy who resembled Guan Yu. As for remembering Xu Huang, it was entirely because Liu Tong informed Lü Bu of Xu Huang's existence before their journey from the Central Plains to Central Asia, and this was the main reason Lü Bu remembered Xu Huang.

For Liu Tong, telling Sima Yi and Xu Shu directly might lead to unexpected problems due to their overly intelligent minds, but if he told Xu Huang, Xu Huang would abide by the preconditions.

Xu Huang would only carry out the corresponding task after the prerequisites were met, and he wouldn't think too much about why he should do it.

Not thinking too much is sometimes a good thing, at least for Liu Tong, it's a very good thing.

After all, sending so many young people to Central Asia for training would be like taking a leisurely outing if there wasn't any pressure involved.

Only under pressure can these individuals grow rapidly into the talents needed by various forces, laying a solid foundation for the next generation to expand their territory.

Whether the next generation is what they need is not something Liu Tong is considering.

Being able to offer advice and even help pave the way in this regard is already worthy of her status.

"Greetings, Marquis Wen! Greetings, Marquis Yi!" Upon seeing Lü Bu and Gongsun Zan, Xu Huang and Wei Yan exchanged glances before noticing Gongsun Zan standing not far from Lü Bu. They quickly stepped ahead of the others and bowed to the two men.

"On the battlefield, military etiquette is sufficient; let's not mention the title of marquis," Gongsun Zan said to Wei Yan and Xu Huang after glancing at Lü Bu and noticing that Lü Bu remained silent.

"Yes, we will obey General Zhenbei's orders!" Xu Huang and Wei Yan exchanged a glance and quickly agreed.

"Since General Zhenbei says so, then I have no objection." Lü Bu nodded, having no further requests.

In terms of pure cavalry combat and command capabilities, he and Gongsun Zan were roughly equal, but this does not mean that there was no difference between them.

Gongsun Zan was better at seizing opportunities on the battlefield, and he was also skilled at commanding cavalry.

Lu Bu, on the other hand, excelled in a completely different area. In addition to his expertise in cavalry command, he was even more adept at leading breakthroughs.

If there's any weakness, it's that they're not very good at exploiting weaknesses on the battlefield. However, their strength is so great that they can often force open weaknesses and then end the battle.

After temporarily gaining command of the battlefield, Gongsun Zan raised many questions, learned about the battlefield situation, and made a judgment on the current situation.

"Since there are pursuers this time, we should deal with them before retreating. I never thought that such an outstanding young man as Sima Zhongda would actually lose..." Gongsun Zan sighed softly, then glanced at his cousin, and his sigh became even louder.

Gongsun Yue, who was being stared at by Gongsun Zan, immediately lowered his head and pretended not to exist.

The Youzhou heavy cavalry, whom he thought would achieve success naturally, had been trained by him for so long according to the family's training manual, yet they still hadn't reached the goals mentioned in the manual.

Just thinking about the food and supplies wasted during this period, Gongsun Yue felt quite ashamed... (End of Chapter)
