When Liu Bei avoided the disaster in Runan in 196 AD, Chen Dao defected to his command and followed Liu Bei to fight in all directions. Since then, Chen Dao followed Liu Bei through life and death, worked diligently and hardworking. His reputation was always second to Zhao Yun. Until Liu Bei became a leader of the Sichuan and Shu, the reputation he obtained was still inferior to Zhao Yun, but he served as the commander of Liu Bei's close guard for a long time. Therefore, he was under the light of Zhao Yun for a long time, and the victory general Zhao Yun was only the last place among the Five Tiger Generals, and Chen Dao was actually the sixth person after the Five Tiger Generals of Shu Han.

Among later generations, the five generals of Shu Han who were well-known to everyone had all the achievements of writing books. In comparison, Chen Dao was overshadowed and had only the name of the commander of the guards. However, one thing cannot be ignored, that is, the "Bai Li Army" trained by Chen Dao and led by him himself was indeed the most elite unit under Liu Bei.

In addition, in history, Chen Dao was famous for his loyalty and righteousness, and has been passed down for thousands of years until later generations.

In fact, among the many military generals of the Three Kingdoms, there are few generals who are truly famous for their loyalty and righteousness, and they are only a handful of them. People with names are Dian Wei and Xu Chu of Cao Wei, Taishi Ci of Jiangdong, and Zhang Fei and Chen Dao of Shu Han; in addition, there are some generals with little reputation. As for Guan Yu, who is known as the Martial Saint, the Changsheng General Zhao Yun, the Zhou Tai and Cao family of Jiangdong, and the Xiahou family, although they are also known as loyalty and righteousness, there are many interesting points and controversial aspects.

Therefore, looking back at the history in my mind, in Li Li's opinion, Chen Dao is not only a very rare loyal and righteous general, but also a tiger general who is both civil and military, but also a tiger general who is covered with dust.

After some examination and contemplation, Li Li was already sure that the heroic young man standing in front of him was Chen Dao, the future "General Bai Li" in the future.

In history, Liu Bei was defeated from Xuzhou and fled to Runan two years later. He then recruited soldiers to make a comeback. Chen Dao defected to Liu Bei at this time. After several wars, he was appreciated by Liu Bei, who was extremely eye-catching and promoted to the leader of the guards. He protected the left and right, and served as Liu Bei's personal soldiers for a long time.

Because of this, after becoming the commander of his personal soldiers, Chen Dao lost the opportunity to lead the army to fight. He had to protect Liu Bei for many years and worked hard, but his reputation was not obvious. In this way, his military achievements and reputation were naturally not as close as those of Zhang, Zhao and others. He was completely hidden behind the Five Tiger Generals, and the tiger generals were covered in dust, and this was the case for his whole life.

Looking at the first half of Liu Bei's life, he hid from Tibet, and repeatedly abandoned his wife and children and ran in a hurry. He was wandering around, fighting in the north and south, and was in danger. During his repeated defeats, even Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun and other ten thousand enemies had almost suffered, but Liu Bei lived in desperate situations and lived well. This shows that the personal guards around Liu Bei were so elite and brave; if they had not had these personal soldiers to protect them, without the capable personal soldiers like Chen Dao, they were afraid that Liu Bei would have died long ago, so how could the Shu Han Dynasty come to the future!

However, personal soldiers and generals are often unfamous people and are the true heroes behind the scenes.

In history, no one who serves as a personal general by the heroes has made many achievements. The dynasties before the Qin and Han Dynasties are said to be. In the history of the melee of the Three Kingdoms, Dong Yue, Dong Yue, Cao Chun, Shi Huan and Xu Chu, the guards under Cao Cao, Chen Dao, and Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang, who are surrounded by Sun Quan. These famous personal generals are actually very talented and can be called talents of great generals, but they are not the most prominent generals in the Three Kingdoms period.

However, talented people will never be completely buried. The sharpness of the person will eventually be revealed. For example, Xu Chu, under Cao Cao, and Zhou Tai, by Sun Quan; both of them have repeatedly rescued their lords and were only reused. They were given the power to lead troops and fight, stand out from their personal generals, and achieved amazing results. Compared with them, Dian Wei, who was alone in savior, was not until after his death, and was praised by Cao Cao, that he was famous in history. On the other hand, Chen Dao, who was beside Liu Bei and Cao Chun, under Cao Cao, worked diligently to lead the Central Army Guard for decades, and had no reputation for his lifetime, and his achievements were not obvious. It was not until people mentioned the "Bai Li Army" and the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" that they suddenly remembered that they had served as commanding generals in these two elite troops for many years.

Cleaning through the memories in his mind, Li Li couldn't help but think of Li Zhi, the personal commander beside him.

Over the past three years, Li Zhi has made rapid progress, transforming from an illiterate "savage" into a personal general with both civil and military strength. However, since he became the commander of the personal guard, it was both a blessing and a miserable person. He was said to be lucky because he was a humble background and miserable person until he was appreciated and used by Li Li. After several cultivation and training, he gradually grew into a rare general.

But everything has two sides. Just based on his own martial arts, Li Zhi has the skills that are no less than the god of war Lu Bu, and his martial arts are so strong that he can be arrogant to the generals of the world. What's more, he is meticulous, humble, meticulous, and conscientious. If he was allowed to lead troops outside to fight and stand alone, even if he could not achieve great achievements, he was still a tiger-bearing general with both civil and military skills. However, he has always served as Li Li's personal military commander, guarding Li Li at all times, and has no chance to lead the army alone. In the Western Liang Army, he was known for his high martial arts skills and loyalty, and was quite famous among the generals in the army, but this reputation was limited to the Xiliang Army and was not well-known by the world. Therefore, in the minds of all the princes in the world, he was still an unknown person and had no reputation.

"Maybe the young master had heard of my grandson's name before?" Seeing Li Li staring at his grandson Chen Dao without saying anything for a long time, Chen Fang asked softly in surprise.

Hearing Chen Fang's words, Li Li smiled happily and said, "What the old man said is right. I did hear Shuzhi's reputation before. Although Sun Chendao was not old, he was quite famous in Runan area. He was loyal and brave, and was chivalrous and righteous, and was praised by the people of Runan County. He also heard about it along the way. He even secretly regretted that such a hero was not the chance to meet him. He did not expect that he was the grandson of Chen Gong. The strange experience in life is nothing more than this. Hahaha!"

"Young Master is so sorry, I dare not take it!" Chen Dao's cheeks were slightly red and he bowed with a little shy voice when he heard Li Li praise him like this.

Li Li smiled and helped Chen Dao up, pulled him to his side and sat down to show his closeness.

In fact, Li Li never heard Chen Dao's name along the way. What he said just now was just a coincidence. He gave Chen Dao a few beautiful words in front of Chen. Although his words were false, they were kind-hearted and tried to make Chen Fang as relaxed as possible and not worry about Chen Dao at all times. In addition, Li Li also used this to express his appreciation for Chen Dao and acted as if he was eager to be talented, so that Chen Fang could send Chen Dao to his command with complete confidence.

The military strategy is said, it is better to provoke the general than to ask the general.

Li Li's move has the same meaning.

Since Li Li saw Chen Dao, who was loyal and righteous, he could not miss it and swear to take him under his command. However, it would be better for the old man Chen Fang to take the initiative to hand Chen Dao over to him. In this way, Chen Dao was ordered by his grandfather to join the Xiliang Army. There was naturally no problem with loyalty and could call him with confidence.

From the corner of his eyes, he noticed that Chen Dao was sitting very reserved. Li Li smiled and told him not to be nervous. Then he turned his head and said to Chen Fang: "Mr. Chen is old and has no children around him. Now he lets uncle go with me. In this way, isn't there no one to take care of Mr. Chen and live alone here? How can Wenchang bear it? Therefore, Wenchang has a reluctant invitation, hoping that Mr. Chen can move to Li's mansion to live in order to serve him sooner or later, and also to let Uncle Zhi be happy and be filial. I wonder what Mr. Chen wants?"

"Oh? Young Master, this,,,,,,,,," Chen Fang never expected that Li Li would invite him to move to Li Li's mansion. Such kindness really touched him, and he was so excited that he spoke for a moment.

After finally calming down his mind, Mr. Chen said gratefully: "Young master is kind, I am grateful. But I am a member of my ancestors. Now I am over 70 years old, it is really hard to leave my hometown. I only hope to sleep in my hometown in a hundred years and return to my roots. Moreover, I still have thousands of acres of thin fields and some savings, and there are more than 20 entourages and maids in the house, which can enjoy my old age without worrying about it.

Now the world is chaotic and wars are everywhere. It is a great time for young people such as Gongzi and Shuzhi to make achievements. The opportunity must not be missed and the times will never come again. Therefore, the young master does not have to worry about me at all, so I can take my uncle away. As long as my grandson can make a name for himself in the future, he will be able to smile even if he dies!"

Li Li suddenly stood up, bowed and said with a sincere expression: "Mr. Chen is so noble that Wenchang admires him!"

Chen Fang quickly stood up and supported Li Li, and smiled kindly: "It is a kindness of the young master who can take Chen Dao in. How can I bear the courtesy of the young master? But I still have something unknown, so I hope the young master will tell you."

"Mr. Chen is fine, but he should speak. He should tell everything when he is determined." Li Li said casually with a smile on his face.

Before Li Li could finish his speech, Chen Jian continued, "I don't know where the young master's fairyland is? If there is any inconvenience, I'll think that I'll ask this too much."

"Oh?" Li Li pondered, his eyes changed slightly, but the smile on his face did not change at all. He smiled sideways and looked at the white-haired Chen Fang. After hesitating a little, he said with a laugh: "By thanking Mr. Chen, Zheng (Zheng)feng, originally surnamed Li, courtesy name Wenchang, and his ancestors lived in Beidi County, Liangzhou, and was the same age as Shuzhi. I wonder if Mr. Chen is satisfied with Wenchang's answer like this?"

"Li Wenchang, a native of the northern county of Liangzhou?" Chen Fang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and muttered to himself, feeling that he seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
