Returning to Wu

[Cheng Cheng]

Cheng Cheng was in the region of the forest close to the Wu. He was looking toward the city were the famous warrior Sun Jian was located. Cheng Cheng was out of action for a few months trying to find who he was and remember that Sun Jian told him to see him if he return in battle. Cheng Cheng knowing the way of the gods wanting to make sure that piece was going to survive and knowing the way of the tiger he wanted to use them as much he could to see what he wanted to work.

The clearest weather in a few months was in this day. The silence of the wild was unusual and not knowing if anyone of Wu remember of him and the training he did. The family he knew was dead remembering everything that has happened the return would be better then being alone without the help he needed for what he wanted to do.

[Sun Jian]

As years go by, many things happen. Some things that we treasure and some that we forget and some that we wish to return. With Sun Jian, now involved with the Han to eliminate the Yellow Turbans, he was always on the move, but it was luck or probably fate that had lead him back to his birthplace of Wu, where he noticed a figure that used to fight by his side and had not returned for a long time, and now, he had returned.

Sun Jian walked over to him and bellowed, "So you have decided to come back again I see. You made the best choice", as he continued walking over the grass, drawing nearr to him.

[Cheng Cheng]

Cheng Cheng looked toward him with both of his eyes raising his eyes toward his old ally. "So you are not surprise to see me the way I see it am I not right." He got up with his old allied knowing that they will fight once against in the same army like he always wanted. "Are you happy that I am here or you thinking oh my god not this guy again." The serious look in his eyes were obvious that he is so serious that is not possible.

He pulled his new sword he found in the wilderness in his journey. "Jian, my friend you may be my ruler once more but you know I will still work the way I always did which is what you expect from me I am guessing." He then placed his sword back in the holder and looked at the village of Wu knowing it was the birth place of his ally. "You know I am surprise it is still so piece full."

[Sun Jian]

Sun Jian smiled, "It is nice to see you again Cheng Cheng, and that we can fight alongside each other against a common enemy the Yellow Turbans", as he was now closer than before, and was pleased to see Cheng Cheng again. The last time he seen him, he was fighting with him againt a rebellious group and now it seemed like deja vu as the Yellow Turbans decided to rebel against the Han.

He then told him he was surprised to see Wu so peaceful. Sun Jian drew his sword, swung it a little aware from him that put straight infront of him, still holding the top, "While I, Sun Jian, the Tiger of Jiangdong, is here. Peace shall remain", he paused, then glanced at his weapon, "I am looking forward to seeing you in battle once again Cheng Cheng".

[Cheng Cheng]

Cheng Cheng looked at the blade and looked at his old friend. "You know my patience is not my greatest strength low your weapon". He then looked at the land and hit his hand on a tree you heard the cracking of the old tree falling that was rotten inside. He then looked back at Sun Jian and then shakes his head. "My friend you know we need to destroy these yellow turban but we also need to watch for people that will betray us before they make there move."

He then wanted to say to Sun Jian that these time are not the time to participate to much at this battle and then make there move trying to get on top and destroy there enemy that will need to destroy the others to be able to become a peaceful region.

[Sun Jian]

Sun Jian laughed as he picked up his weapon and put it back into its holder, after Cheng Cheng asked him to put it away, though he done for himself anyway. His sword will be put into action when he strikes down the rebels. As he listened, he then got curious to what he was asking, then replied, "I am aware of the current threat to the whole of China, and if we do not act, the lands of Jiangdong will also be in danger, so I'd prefer to stop them at the earliest opportunity before they grow. I am also well aware of betrayals and that other respectable officers of the Han will soon decide to turn away as the Han decay, but if we do not show our might on the battlefield, they will decide we are weak and press an attack on Jiangdong. Something else that I wish to avoid. It will take time to bring peace back to the land, but for now, it is the Yellow Turbans who must be stopped".

[Cheng Cheng]

Cheng Cheng was looking at the city and getting ready to leave Sun Jian there but stay there until he knew Sun Jian will not get destroy by being such a moron. He knew Sun Jian was a great person and the one that he needed to follow for now but if he does not watch it someone will betray him and make this kingdom go down in the regions.

"My friend you know how I am. You also know that you should watch yourself and you also know that I am right that they are people that are just waiting for the right time to attack us and that will be after the attack we do to the yellow turban if you do not plan carefully."

[Sun Jian]

"I am aware of that Cheng Cheng. Yes, showing our might on the battlefield will show the enemy how strong we are, but can also show our current allies how much a threat we are when the land begins to fall apart. The best way to take away this threat is to eliminate the tiger. However, that will not happen, as I am fully aware of the current situation, as well as what could happen after the Rebellion has been quelled, so you need not worry", he replied, as a smile appeared on his face, seeing how much he cared for me and didn't want him to get hurt. He had the title, Tiger of Jiangdong, for a reason, and he would show everyone the might of the Tiger, but heeding Cheng Cheng's advice, he would watch his back and prepare to counter any attack against him, whether friend or foe.

[Cheng Cheng]

Cheng Cheng stared at Sun Jian for a moment and noticed that Sun Jian thought he actually cared for him. He did care but it was more for a leader that can make piece in the country then actually caring for his own leader. Cheng knew what was going to happened to China if the turbans would win this battle but he does not know if the Han would be better then them.

"Sun Jian we are fighting once more together, but this time I am more experience then the last time we fought together. We will see blood raining from the sky and on are broken bodies. We will suffer broken bones and suffer in extreme pain. The last battle we fought you were crazy and almost got your self killed if i did not go in front of the arrow that went for your head and received it in my shoulder. Just make sure you do not go in a battle that you will be ambushed in this time. Do you understand my liege?"

[Sun Jian]

Sun Jian smiled, "Don't worry about that Cheng Cheng. If it has happened once, it will not happen again. It's always like that with life where everyone experiences something new, either good or bad, but is able to avoid it happening again if wanted, and I can tell you this, it will not happen again. For now, the turbans are the threat and the Han need all the help they can get, so they will let us carry on as normal, but once it is over, I shall watch my back and avoid anything bad to happen to me or anyone else in my army. No-one shall lay a finger on the Tiger or his men".

[Cheng Cheng]

Cheng looked at the city once more beside the person who he calls his leader but does not know if he is as good as he said he was. Sun Jian sounded to confident for his taste and does not really want to place Sun Jian down but he knows how things may take a bad turn for the worst or a good turn for the good.

"I know what you are saying Sun Jian but I do not know if the Han are as trusth worthy as you say they are. You might be the leader but I think you should know what I am thinking about this. The Han does not want China to change and the Yellow turban does but either one of us will fight to place thing in piece and order like things should be. That is all I have to say about the turbans and the Han."

[Sun Jian]

"I see what you mean Cheng Cheng. The Yellow Turbans have rebelled after seeing that the Han is dying. However, is what they are fighting for, good for the whole land, and is there a hidden motive? I will admit that they has been alot of changes since the Han first began, and that it is now decaying. It has even lost its influence down here in the South", he paused to consider his words, "You have been telling me about thinking about the future, and that we should be aware of things to come. Though the Han is not as great as it once was, looking at the bigger picture, it's fall would divide the land, whereas the Yellow Turbans may just cause uprising. We cannot turn a blind eye with things around us, because whatever the outcome, the whole land will be affected and in time, things will change. Your advice for looking ahead and preparing ourselves is wise indeed. Though the Tiger has not used its claws to the full, maybe it is best that we take the time to recuperate, while others fight, to give us an edge in the future".

Cheng Cheng was right about looking at the bigger pciture and looking for things to come, and that they should be prepared. Maybe being on the defensive would help them in the future, rather than on the offensive until the tiger's claws die out. His advice was wise and will be taken. It was nice to have him come back, and get him on track. So that's what he had lacked, looking at the future, but now, that gap was now filled.

[Cheng Cheng]

Cheng Cheng went to his horse that was not to far all along and got on him then made him go close to Sun Jian before he decided to leave. The horse stopped next to Sun Jian since Cheng Cheng had great control of the animal having it since his first battle and all. He looked at the Wu village and then back at his leader.

"This battle will take a lot of are people down so we should train other units while the battle is on so we will be able to protect are self in any attack. I will travel around these land and help them with there training. I will report to you how well the training will go my liege." After these words he and his horse left for the village going to help with the training as he said he will do.

[Sun Jian]

Sun Jian smiled, then he too glanced at the village, then left where he was standing to go to the stables. Cheng Cheng had arrived and already left to train troops, as well as being him plenty of advice, and telling him to look forwards and think ahead, which were helpful indeed, but he could not sit here in Wu while his officers done the work. It was time that the tiger went out to hunt for its prey.
