Lord in the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 132: Are You Willing to Join My Army?

Speaking of Dian Wei, he was truly a remarkable hero, with outstanding martial skills that were no less than Zhang Liao or Xu Chu’s. After joining Boss Cao’s service, his military exploits were remarkable. Every time he went into battle, he was always at the forefront, charging like an invincible sword, piercing through the heart of the enemy!

Unfortunately, later during Cao Cao’s expedition to Wancheng, due to Boss Cao’s lust, he ended up fighting to death...

It must be said that it was a great tragedy. After his death, Cao Cao wept bitterly, mourning him for a long time, even placing him on the same level as his own son, Cao Ang, for worship...

From this, it can be seen how highly esteemed he was in Cao Cao’s heart!

Never did Long Chen expect to encounter Dian Wei today.

No need for further words, just recruit him into the army directly!

This opportunity must not be missed!

So, Long Chen instructed Xu Chu to bring more meat and wine.

Xu Chu showed a resentful look in his eyes and left reluctantly. He felt that his position in the Lord’s heart was going to decline again, especially since not long ago they recruited a warrior named Zhao Yun, and now Dian Wei had arrived.

Xu Chu knew about Dian Wei’s achievements. He was once a mighty tiger on the battlefield, incredibly strong and fearless, a formidable warrior.

Although Xu Chu felt a little jealous, he was still looking forward to Dian Wei’s arrival.

Why?

Because he wanted to spar with Dian Wei, to sharpen his own martial skills!!

In Long Chen’s army, Xu Chu hadn’t encountered a commander capable of pushing him to use his full strength for a long time! frёeωebɳovel.com

Previously, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin had already been beaten down by him and dared not to fight with this monster again.

And the newly arrived Zhao Yun was reluctant to provoke trouble actively, so he hadn’t sparred with Xu Chu. Besides, Zhao Yun excelled in technique and speed, and compared to Xu Chu’s innate strength, he wouldn’t stand a chance in a fight. Even if they did fight, Xu Chu estimated that it wouldn’t be satisfying!

But now, it seemed that Dian Wei was most likely to become his formidable opponent. Both were immensely strong and excelled in a straightforward fighting style.

When the time came to spar, it would definitely be an exhilarating battle!

Thinking of this, Xu Chu’s pace quickened unconsciously.

After chatting with Dian Wei for a while, Long Chen learned that Dian Wei had killed a local strongman in revenge for his brother, which led to him becoming the number one wanted criminal on the wanted list!

The bounty on his head was worth several hundred taels!

Originally, it wasn’t this high; it was only a few hundred taels of silver, but later, the officials and soldiers who pursued Dian Wei suffered numerous casualties and couldn’t handle him, and even got killed instead.

This led to Dian Wei’s value skyrocketing rapidly to this extent.

Now, Dian Wei was among the top three wanted criminals in Chenliu County, and his bounty was likely to continue increasing.

However, facing Long Chen, this extraordinary person who had helped him, Dian Wei had a very favorable impression of him and directly revealed his own identity.

Long Chen asked, "Dian Warrior, you speak so frankly. Aren’t you afraid I will report your whereabouts to the court?"

Dian Wei replied, "I believe General wouldn’t do such a thing to me!"

His tiger-like eyes sparkled as he locked gazes with Long Chen.

"Good! Since Dian Warrior trusts me so much, I naturally won’t engage in such despicable acts."

"Dian Warrior, are you willing to join my army?"

Long Chen officially extended the olive branch.

After a moment of contemplation, Dian Wei casually asked, "I am a wanted criminal in Chenliu. If I join General’s army, aren’t you afraid of being punished by the Prefect of Chenliu?"

At this time, Dian Wei was still unaware of Long Chen’s true identity, hence the question.

Long Chen shook his head and said mysteriously, "Not afraid."

"Ding! Dian Wei’s favorability towards you has increased to 67."

Hearing this, a warm color flashed in Dian Wei’s eyes, and he asked again, "If I join the general’s army, will I have enough to eat?"

"Hahaha!"

"Don’t worry! If you’re willing to join my army, you’ll have more than enough to eat every day, and you won’t go hungry!" Long Chen patted his shoulder and laughed.

"But... but I have a big appetite. When I was a cook in Chenliu, they all complained that I ate too much and didn’t want me!"

Dian Wei frowned, looking a bit amusing.

"Don’t worry! Dian Warrior, you can eat as much as you want!" Long Chen smiled.

At this moment, Xu Chu also came back with meat and wine. After hearing Dian Wei’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Laughing loudly, he said, "Hahaha, someone is worried about my lord’s food! Oh, Warrior, do you know who my lord is?"

Dian Wei scratched his head and shook it.

After talking for so long, he still didn’t know the name of the young general in front of him!

Xu Chu said again, "My lord is the current General Who Guards the South! The Prefect of Jiujiang County, Long Chen!!!"

There was pride in his tone!

Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, looking at the young general in front of him in amazement, and took several steps back involuntarily.

Pointing at Long Chen, he said in astonishment, "You... you are... the Jiujiang Long Chen, one of the nineteen feudal lords!?"

Long Chen humbly bowed, "Indeed, I am."

Long Chen’s reputation had long been renowned far and wide.

He killed Zhang Jiao, fought against Lu Bu, and defeated the Western Liang!

During the campaign against Dong Zhuo, even someone like Dian Wei, stationed in Chenliu County, had heard of Long Chen’s fame.

And in the local area, Dian Wei was deeply admired and respected towards Long Chen in their interactions.

With a loud clang, Dian Wei knelt down and clasped his fists, speaking earnestly, "My lord, please accept my bow. I am willing to serve by your side from now on, ensuring your safety and well-being!"

"Please rise quickly! Please rise quickly!"

Long Chen’s face lit up with joy as he quickly helped Dian Wei up, grasping his hand and smiling, "From now on, you shall be my personal guard!"

"Yes!"

Dian Wei replied with a fist over his chest.

"Zhongkang, I entrust you to familiarize Dian Wei with the surroundings here and understand what needs to be done."

Xu Chu’s eyes brightened, and he quickly agreed.

Hehehe, doesn’t this mean this guy will be on my side from now on, and even under my command?

Alright, I’ll take good care of this guy in the future.

Then, Xu Chu handed the food and wine to Dian Wei and said in a hearty tone, "Come, this is what my lord asked me to give you." freewebnoveℓ.com

"These foods, my lord himself rarely eats much on ordinary days, but today he has given them all to you. Don’t forget my lord’s kindness to you!"

Seeing the delicious food and wine, Dian Wei couldn’t wait any longer. He tore off a chicken leg from the roasted chicken and chewed on it.

With a muffled voice, he said, "I understand! I, Dian Wei, know best how to repay kindness! My lord, rest assured, with me, Dian Wei, by your side, I guarantee that no enemy will get close to you!"

"Hahaha! Excellent! Dian Wei, you are truly a warrior of old!"

"In the future, you shall be my right-hand man!"

Long Chen laughed joyfully.

"Ding! Five-star general Dian Wei’s favorability towards you has increased to 85!"

As expected, Dian Wei turned out to be a five-star general, just as Long Chen had anticipated.

Although it was already expected that Dian Wei’s level was not low and should be on par with Xu Chu.
