Chapter 4 Search Complete

  After Yu Rong left, Ding Yuan sat alone on the red lacquered gold large bed in his sleeping palace.

  At this moment, Ding Yuan's heart could not calm down for a long time. According to Ding Yuan's speculation, Jiuliao was just a three-star warrior. In the Che Long Guo, he was already one of the strongest generals, but what he knew was only a corner of this vast world.

  Above the great powers, there are still duchies; above the duchies, there are kingdoms and empires. Whether there is anything above them, I do not know, but even these are only what he knows from his travels abroad.

  Not to mention the land area and population of countries, kingdoms, and empires, it can be certain that there is an existence above warriors.

  Warriors, as Ju Liao said, have strong power that can only be glimpsed in the online world of Ding Yuan's previous life. And what kind of powerful strength is there beyond this realm? Even Ju Liao's insight is not clear!

  According to Ju Liao, he once traveled and studied in a China where he saw a five-star gunner shoot out his hand. The five-star warrior can project his energy outside, creating an astonishing destructive power. He imbued the long spear with his energy, and with one shot, a giant boulder about 10 meters high was directly shattered by the long spear!

  The aura is bestowed upon the long spear, and with one spear, it can shatter a giant boulder, just thinking about it gives people an unbelievable feeling.

  "This world is so wonderful, I originally thought of getting drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman, waking up to hold the power of heaven, living a life of confusion. Now thinking about it, it's just a joke. But in this Shengxiao Valley with twelve small countries, there are endless struggles. This time, Che Ma Guo came to invade, and even Che Long Guo is in danger of being destroyed. This continent is full of endless struggles. What will the world be like outside of Shengxiao Valley?"

  Ding Yuan no longer had any thoughts of muddling through his days, he shook off his previous decadence and was filled with boundless fighting spirit.

  "I possess the Three Kingdoms game system, and sooner or later I will have countless Three Kingdoms generals serving me. Although I don't know what kind of strength the Three Kingdoms generals would have in this real world, and in this world where martial power is revered, if the Three Kingdoms generals are strong, that would be for the best. Even if they're not as strong, relying on the wisdom and strategies of those Three Kingdoms civil and military officials should still allow me to stand my ground!"

  To know that the Three Kingdoms was an era when the most outstanding talents emerged in the history of the Heavenly Dynasty before Ding Yuan's time.

  Ding Yuan was filled with confidence at this moment, and his whole body had an extraordinary aura: "Now I will make the unification of the Zodiac Mountain Valley my goal for this stage! However, the most urgent thing to solve right now is the threat from Che Ma Guo!"

  After thinking for a while, Ding Yuan set his goal, "Tomorrow, the court meeting will be held with the ministers of this world to discuss the solution to the problem of Che Ma Guo. However, looking at Ju Liao's appearance, it seems that Che Long Guo doesn't have much chance of winning!"

  It's reasonable to think that the Dragon Country has just lost its previous emperor, and Ding Yuan's body has just ascended to the throne. The Dragon Country is at its weakest right now. Wanting to contend with the powerful Horse-Dragon Country, which is even stronger than it, is a bit difficult.

  "Could it be that my days as a ruler in this world are numbered, and I'm even in danger of losing my life?!"

  Ding Yuan thought for a moment, feeling somewhat worried and anxious. Suddenly, an idea struck him: "Right! Now that I've entered the Three Kingdoms game space, let me go take a look and see if Lü Bu and Zhang Liao have returned!"

  In the Three Kingdoms game space, internal affairs processing is synchronized with reality. Therefore, during this period of time that Ding Yuan has passed in reality, the internal affairs processing space has also passed for so long.

  With a stir in his heart, Ding Yuan lay down on the bed. In this Three Kingdoms game space, Ding Yuan's entry was not physical, but rather spiritual. Inside the Three Kingdoms game space, he constructed a body. When Ding Yuan left the Three Kingdoms game space, this body would automatically disperse. Until next time he entered, this body would be reconstructed again, it was truly amazing!

  When Ding Yuan opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at the Taishou Mansion in the Three Kingdoms game space. At this time, he was sitting on a chair in the center of the great hall, and when he looked up, Ding Yuan suddenly saw two extraordinary warriors standing in front of him.

  This first general, standing on Ding Yuan's left side, was seen to be: tall and majestic in stature, handsome in appearance, wearing a three-pointed purple gold crown on his head, wearing a Western Sichuan red brocade hundred flower robe, wearing a beast-faced swallowing head linked armor, with a lion-patterned belt around his waist, holding a square heaven painting halberd!

  This man was none other than Lü Bu, the God of War of the Three Kingdoms, known as "Among men, Lü Bu; among horses, Red Hare"!

  Look at the second general, standing on Ding Yuan's right side. He has a face like purple jade and eyes like bright stars. He wears a Guanyang golden crown hat, a black robe with a hundred-colored python pattern, and a purple light armor with a dragon pattern. Around his waist is a Linglong eight-trigrams belt that can swallow lions. In his hand, he holds a three-pointed, double-bladed knife!

  This man was none other than Zhang Liao, the first of the Five Elite Generals, known for his far-sighted wisdom and awe-inspiring presence in the land of Hebei.

  Ding Yuan was overjoyed in his heart and slightly shocked by the aura of these two men, who were both top-notch martial generals.

  When they saw Ding Yuan, the two men stepped forward and simultaneously clasped their fists, saying in unison: "We pay our respects to Your Excellency!"

  Ding Yuan came to his senses from the shock of seeing the two men, only after hearing their voices. Zhang Liao and Lü Bu were indeed renowned warriors of the Three Kingdoms, and just by their aura alone, they were not someone that Ji Ling, the General of Cheliangguo, could compare to.

  Seeing the two of them so majestic, Ding Yuan's heart was also greatly settled. Ji Ling's martial arts were among the best in Shengxiao Valley, but their aura was far inferior to that of these two men. Thinking about it this way, even the strongest general in Shengxiao Valley would not be stronger than Lü Bu and Zhang Liao!

  This is also true, Lü Bu, the number one warrior of the Three Kingdoms, at the Battle of Tiger Trap Pass, even when he was exhausted from fighting several battles, still fought alone against the three heroes and did not fall behind. What kind of ferocity and skill was that? It's naturally not something that a small country's general like Ji Ling can compare to!

  Zhang Liao was both civil and martial, wise and brave, and invincible. As the first of the five good generals of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms, although his military skills were far inferior to those of Lü Bu, his overall ability was absolutely not lower than that of Lü Bu.

  Ding Yuan, although being their master, didn't dare to be arrogant and neglect them. He hastily got up and said: "Two generals, no need for formalities, please sit down!"

  The two men looked at each other and smiled, clasped their fists and said: "Thank you, sir!"

  Lü Bu and Zhang Liao then sat down on either side of him.

  Three people tasted tea and discussed Tao. Good or not happy, after a while, Ding Yuan smiled and said: "The two generals came out this time, I don't know what they searched for?"

  This first search thing, related to whether Ding Yuan's opening was smooth, so Ding Yuan asked with great expectation.

  Lü Bu, riding his horse, proudly dismounted and stepped forward, kneeling on one knee with a fist in the other hand: "This time when I went out, I searched around and found an excellent fine horse. This horse is called the 'Sweat-Blooded Horse', it can travel thousands of miles a day, crossing mountains and stepping on rocks as if they were flat ground. Now, I present this precious horse to Your Excellency!"

  "Sweat-blooded horse!"

  Ding Yuan exclaimed in surprise, this horse is not ordinary. In this Three Kingdoms game, it's only second to Lu Bu's Red Hare and Zhuge Liang's extraordinary horse. A general riding a horse can greatly enhance their strength, which is no small matter. Moreover, there is no level restriction for riding this horse, making it a rare treasure indeed. This first search yielded results, and Lu Bu was able to find it, how could Ding Yuan not be overjoyed?

  Overjoyed, Ding Yuan hastily stepped forward to help Lü Bu up, saying: "General, there's no need for such courtesy. This time the general's merit is great. When gold and beautiful women are found, they will certainly be bestowed upon the general. Please sit down first!"

  Ding Yuan's words are not empty talk. In this game of three kingdoms, there is a concept of loyalty. If a general's loyalty is not rewarded after making great contributions, their loyalty will decrease. If it decreases to a certain extent and they are captured after defeat, they may very likely surrender to others. Therefore, loyalty must be paid attention to at all times.

  Of course, the rise and fall of loyalty have various reasons, which are not related to this matter. However, Lü Bu's search for the Red Hare horse is truly a great achievement, and Ding Yuan's promise to reward him is also reasonable.

  Upon hearing Ding Yuan's praise, Lü Bu's expression became even more arrogant, and he sat down with a flourish, displaying his mighty aura.

  Ding Yuan saw this and smiled, but if Ding Yuan were in the real Three Kingdoms era, he would definitely not trust Lü Bu. The three surnames of the slave family may be Zhang Fei's sarcastic remarks about Lü Bu, but it can also be seen that Lü Bu is a person with a bad heart.

  However, in this game space, as long as no accidents occur and Lü Bu is captured by the ruler of another family, then Lü Bu will not have a rebellion, let alone overthrow his lord.

  After praising Lü Bu, Ding Yuan secretly hoped that Zhang Liao would be able to find a powerful general, knowing that the probability of finding one was much higher than finding a divine horse like Red Hare.

  Ding Yuan smiled and said, "What did you find this time, Wen Yuan?"

  Zhang Liao listened, stood up, clasped his fists and knelt on one knee, saying: "My lord, Wen Yuan is extremely ashamed, what he obtained is not as good as Fengxian, but he searched for a great talent, please go to recruit him!"

  As soon as Ding Yuan heard this, he immediately stood up. He was more excited than when he had obtained the precious horse Sweat Blood. Now that they were surrounded by the forces of He Jin and Zhang Jue, to be able to find a general, no matter how useless, made Ding Yuan overjoyed.

  With this general, Lü Bu and Zhang Liao will have a reserve of soldiers. They won't worry about lacking troops and being forced into one-on-one battles, so they can focus on attacking the surrounding cities.

  This new recruitment of a brave general is of great significance and has many benefits. How can this not make Ding Yuan overjoyed!

  "Wen Yuan quickly led the way, and Guan personally went to meet this great talent!"

  Seeing Ding Yuan so concerned about a small new general, Lü Bu felt slightly discontented in his heart. However, he also knew the current situation and naturally wouldn't make trouble, so he stood up and followed Ding Yuan out together.

  Lü Bu was a proud and arrogant man, but he understood reason.

  Thus, the three of them left Taishou's residence together, with Zhang Liao leading the way in front. The three of them walked towards the tavern where this military officer was staying.
