Chapter 82: Boiling Tea on Heroes
It has now been three days since the Battle of Jizhou.
Through this battle of life and death, Xue Yun won the victory of annihilating more than 90,000 Yellow Turban Army and capturing more than 50,000 people at the cost of more than 100,000 casualties.
and captured Zhang Liang, the third-in-command of the Yellow Turban Army, which pushed Yuan Shao's fame to the peak for a while.
And Xue Yun reorganized the Yuan family army of nearly 100,000 by incorporating the Yellow Turban Army and the equipment on the battlefield.
Although it seems that the number of people is not as large as before the war, the quality of the individual soldiers of the Yuan family army has made a qualitative leap, which has greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of Xue Yun's army.
During these three days, Xue Yun asked Zhao Yun why he came to rescue him, and wondered what the situation in Luoyang was now.
Zhao Yun said that the reason why he woke up so quickly was thanks to the emperor's imperial uncle, King Jing of Zhongshan gave him a lingzhi.
Originally, King Jing planned to let him recover from his injuries, but because Zhao Yun was worried about Xue Yun's affairs, he did not continue to cultivate, and rode directly to Jizhou.
"King Jing of Zhongshan? Uncle Huang? ”
Through Zhao Yun's words, Xue Yun came to a conclusion that made him feel incredible.
This King Jing, nine times out of ten, is Liu Bei.
Xue Yun also asked Zhao Yun what was the name of this imperial uncle?
It's just that Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "The last general didn't ask about this. ”
Seeing that Zhao Yun didn't know, Xue Yun didn't continue to chase deeply, but fell into contemplation alone.
He was sure that the person was a descendant of the royal family who was born in straw shoes, and the uncle of the emperor of the dynasty - Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.
Xue Yun didn't expect that Liu Bei's start would be so lofty, and he directly became the man of the moment today, and even now Xue Yun has to call him King Jing when he sees him.
There is no such process of counterattacking at all, breaking through many levels, and becoming a prince.
Xue Yun then asked, "Even if you are seriously injured and just recover, Zhang Rang will not let you go to the palace, how did you deceive him?" ”
Zhao Yun replied, "Back to the lord, in the past few days since you left Luoyang, a major event has happened, that is, Zhao Zhong, who is the same as Zhang Rang, was suddenly pressed into prison. ”
"What?" Xue Yun was also in disbelief when he heard it.
Now the ten permanent servants who are calling for wind and rain in the court, after experiencing the tragedy of Zhang Rang's mansion, there are only two people left, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.
It can be said that Zhao Zhong at this moment is Zhang Rang's right-hand man.
No matter what crime Zhao Zhong committed, Zhang Rang would do his best to protect him.
But Zhang Rang did not choose to do this, but watched his last colleague leave him.
Xue Yun knew that Zhao Yun didn't know the details, so he didn't say anything more, and let Zhao Yun go back to recuperate.
After that, he went to look for Xu Shu again, Xue Yun walked to Xu Shu's house, and saw two cups of hot tea on the table, as if Xu Shu was waiting for someone?
And Xue Yun knew that the person Xu Shu was waiting for was himself.
Xu Shu was about to get up and salute, but Xue Yun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "We don't have to see each other like this." ”
After speaking, Xue Yun sat opposite Xu Shu, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said lightly, "Tell me how you knew I was coming?" ”
Xu Shu smiled and said, "Because of Zhao Yun." ”
Xue Yun nodded, and then said, "I think this is the surprise you told me before I went to Luoyang?" ”
Xue Yun still clearly remembered that Xu Shu said that the main guild had two surprises, and presumably Zhao Yun was one of them.
Xu Shu replied, "Exactly, I also heard by chance that Gongsun Chan is Zhang Rang's gang." And Zhang Rang asked Zhao Yun to go to Luoyang, thinking that he was looking for an opportunity to get rid of Zhao Yun. It's just that the lord loves you very much, and you will definitely help at a critical moment. In this way, Zhao Yun will remember the great favor of the lord and will return the favor. It's a pity that the development of things is somewhat unexpected by me. ”
After all, no matter how smart Xu Shu is, he is also a human, not a god.
It was impossible for him to know that Zhang Rang even dared to kill Yuan Shao, let alone that the Yellow Turban Army would attack Jizhou at this time.
Speaking of this, Xu Shu stood up and bowed deeply to Xue Yun.
He said in a deep voice, "It's all because I didn't think about it, I didn't take into account that Zhang Rang would be unfavorable to the lord, and the lord almost lost his life, and he deserved death for the crime of despicability." ”
It's just that Xue Yun said disapprerovingly, "You didn't tell me all the plans, it's really your fault." But now that Zhao Yun has defected to my command, even if you are guilty of meritorious service. ”
"Lord, Zhao Yun has two other brothers, do you want to...
Xu Shu meant, do you want to find a way to control Guan Yu, Zhang Fei also recruited him.
Xue Yun was silent for a moment after understanding what Xu Shu meant.
He said, "This matter will be talked about later, since we all have time today, it is better for us to take this opportunity to talk about the situation in the world and lay a good foundation for our future goals." ”
Xu Shu knew that his lord's ambition was in the world, and after the problem of the Yellow Turban Army was solved, the world of the Han Dynasty would not be peaceful, and it was very likely that he would return to the Warring States era when the princes were divided.
So after hearing Yuan Shao's words, Xu Shu replied, "Today, Zhang Jiao is the strongest, and we are still some distance away from him." But this is not something that the lord needs to worry about, the lord should pay attention to Cao Cao in Yanzhou and Dong Zhuo in Xiliang. ”
Xue Yun said, "Needless to say, Cao Cao, his threat is greater than that of the Yellow Turban Army, and he is a strong opponent for me to dominate the world in the future." As for Dong Zhuo, it may be his adopted son Lu Bu, right? ”
Lu Bu's might can be said to be the best in the world, if you want to destroy Dong Zhuo, you must solve Lu Bu.
It's just that Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Dong Zhuo has Lu Bu, although it is a trouble, it is not a big problem. Because Dong Zhuo was able to block the never-ending attack of the Yellow Turban Army, and he could also protect Xiliang from being eaten, which was not something that Lu Bu could do. ”
Xue Yun suddenly realized, that's right, Dong Zhuo can be said to be fighting alone, he is a lone soldier without support.
The danger in this is indeed not something that Lu Bu can solve, and this is also where Xue Yun is negligent.
"What about the others? Is there anything I need to pay attention to? Xue Yun then asked.
Xu Shu replied, "Tao Qian of Xuzhou, he has no eloquence, he is the same as Liu Biao of Jingzhou, he can defend the city, but not conquer." As for the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, there are also some powerful generals and strategists under him, but he can't threaten your status yet. ”
Xu Shu took a sip of tea, and then said, "As for the lord's younger brother Yuan Shu, although after getting Youzhou, he is already the largest prince in terms of territory alone, but he likes to be calculating, and has the strength to be proud of the world, but he does not have the courage to win the world. ”
Xue Yun nodded and asked, "Is there anyone else?" ”
"There is one, he is more terrible than Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo." Xu Shu's expression suddenly became very serious.
"Who is it?" Seeing Xu Shu's expression, Xue Yun hurriedly asked.
"The emperor's uncle today, King Jing of Zhongshan - Liu Bei, Liu Xuande."
