After Zhao Yun left Gongsun Zhan, he went home to take care of his brother's funeral, and took dozens of people to the mountain to settle for the grass.

Gradually, many people came to join us, and now there are more than 300 people.

However, most of his more than 300 people are old and weak.

The black mountain thieves Yu Poison and others were exterminated by Yuan Shao in the fourth year of Chuping, and the thieves were scattered everywhere, no one led them, the strong bullied the weak, and those old and weak thieves were difficult to live.

In fact, it's not that they want to be bandits, they can't survive if they don't have bandits.

Zhao Yun saw this and led them to be the masters of the mountain on this hill.

Zhao Yun is managed by military discipline, and many young and strong people can't stand the constraints and are unwilling to follow Zhao Yun, and those who stay in the end are old and weak.

Li Xian and Gao Shun arrived on the mountain, and Zhao Yun ordered someone to slaughter a sheep and entertain Li Xian.

More than a dozen sheep are raised on the mountain, which are slaughtered only during festivals or when there are distinguished guests.

Distinguished guests are some famous people, if Zhao Yun knew that the robbed person was famous, he would invite them up the mountain to eat and drink, and then return the looted things and let them go down the mountain to leave.

However, this is rare, because no one dares to walk from here.

So they don't have much to grab, they don't have so much to eat, and they are satisfied with being able to eat and wear.

There is wine, even if it is not a good wine, but it is still wine.

Gao Shun doesn't drink, only Li Xian accompanies Zhao Yun to drink.

Li Xian thought that Zhao Yun might go to Liu Bei in the future, but that was when Liu Bei ran to Yecheng.

Now that Lu Bu is dead, Liu Bei will no longer be attacked by Lu Bu to take Xuzhou, so he will no longer have to take refuge in Cao Cao, and there will be no betrayal of Cao Cao, and then he was defeated by Cao Cao and ran to Yecheng.

On the way to be chased by Cao Ren, Li Xian had already made up his mind in his heart.

In this day and age, the only way to survive is to make yourself strong, so that you can protect yourself and at the same time protect more people.

And to be strong, you must be your own boss.

So he wanted to recruit Zhao Yun at the moment, but he didn't know if he could let Zhao Yun follow him with his current identity.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Xian asked Zhao Yundao: "Zilong, what are your plans in the future?" It's not going to be on this hill all the time, is it? ”

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "If you are not on this mountain, where can you go." ”

"I see that your subordinates are all old and weak, which shows that you have benevolence and righteousness, but it is better to save a hundred people than to save a million."

Zhao Yun picked up the wine bowl and said, "Dry." "Drink it all.

After drinking the wine, he put down the bowl and said: "It's not easy to save 100 people, how can you save 1 million people." And with my own strength, it is very difficult to save these 100 people. ”

"One man is small, but many people are strong. With you, me, and Pepin, we gather more people, and then we will be able to save millions of people from fire and water. ”

Li Xian stood up excitedly as he spoke, and drank the wine in the dry bowl in one gulp.

Zhao Yun looked at Li Xian and was moved, but he didn't know much about Li Xian, so he asked, "Why were you hunted down by Cao Cao?" ”

Li Xian told all the things from the Battle of Xingyang to the time when he met Zhao Yun, and even the fact that he wrote letters to Cao Ang twice.

Of course, he can't say that he is a traverser, and Zhao Yun won't believe it.

And Gao Shun didn't know many things before.

After Gao Shun heard this, he also admired and respected Li Xian even more.

Gao Shun also told Zhao Yun that Li Xian was willing to save him with his life.

Zhao Yun felt that Li Xian was a loving and righteous person, especially in Xuzhou who killed Qu Junhou in order to save the people.

In the army, officers above the rank of Qu Junhou and generals cannot be killed at will, and they generally have to be the commander or a person who is fake to have the right.

At the same time, Li Xian also has the merit of welcoming and protecting the Son of Heaven, and he is also the general of Yuzhou Mu and Yangwei.

Zhao Yun thought for a while and then knelt down on one knee to Li Xian and said, "Zhao Yun is willing to follow General Li's side." ”

Li Xian was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Zhao Yun up: "Zilong, please get up, with Zilong's help, the world will be settled early, and the people will also be able to have good morning." ”

"Does the general still want to go to Jizhou to vote for Yuan Shao? I heard that Yuan Shao doesn't know anyone, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to reuse the general. Zhao Yun knew that Yuan Shao was unworthy of assistance, so he went to vote for Gongsun Zhan, but he found that Gongsun Zhan was not the person he wanted to assist.

"It's okay, it's just that Yuan Shao has capable people like you who can assist me."

"Then these brothers on my mountain......"

"Say to them that if they will follow, they will follow us, and if they will not, let them go home."

After Zhao Yun summoned his bandits to explain the situation, they all expressed their willingness to follow.

Because of the continuous days of riding and running, Li Xian is also very tired, and now he also needs to plan well, what to do next.

When I followed Cao Cao before, I had a lot of things to worry about, and I never had the idea of being self-reliant. At that time, he just wanted to help Cao Cao calm down the chaos as soon as possible, so that the people could live a stable life as soon as possible.

Now that he is being hunted down by Cao Cao, Cao Ang is also dead, he has no scruples.

As for Cao Min and Li Kui, Cao Min is Cao Cao's daughter, and no matter what, Cao Cao will not hurt them.

And he, the eldest brother of the owner, has never seen him, he doesn't even know where his home is, and he doesn't feel family affection with him. Cao Cao couldn't have killed them, because they weren't important to Li Xian, and there were too many brothers at that time.

Since we want to be self-reliant and strive for hegemony in the world, we must have military generals.

I can fight, and now I have Gao Shun Zhao Yun to assist, if there are more strategists, then pull up one of my own soldiers and horses, slowly occupy the territory, and slowly develop and grow.

Li Xian chose to go to Jizhou to vote for Yuan Shao, and he also had a purpose, wanting to dig up Fu Zhu and Tian Feng to his side.

As long as there is one of them, it will be considered to have achieved the goal.

Li Xian rested on the mountain for more than ten days, and he asked Zhao Yun to bring more than 500 bandits to the nearby mountain.

These bandits are basically peasants, and now they are told that if they become soldiers, they will not only be able to eat their stomachs, but also have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and marquises, and at the same time, they can also make other people live a good life.

After hearing this, they expressed their willingness to follow.

In this way, Li Xian had more than 800 people and more than 100 horses, all of which were usually snatched and not sold yet.

He assembled a cavalry team of 100 men, led by Zhao Yun. The others were foot soldiers, led by Gao Shun.

Li Xian didn't expect these people to have any combat effectiveness, and now they were just used to replenish the numbers.

He promulgated four military laws:

1. Those who disobey military orders shall be beheaded.

Second, retreat from the latter and cut it.

3. Whoever kills the people shall be beheaded.

4. Whoever robs the people shall have a hundred rods.

He didn't want to come up with too many military disciplines, and these four were enough.

If you can abide by these four military laws, you will be a brave and benevolent soldier.

He first told his subordinates that if they felt that they could not obey the military discipline, they could leave now, or if they violated the military discipline, they would be dealt with according to the military discipline.

Many people think that the first three are fine, but this fourth one, some people are not sure in their hearts and don't know if they can restrain themselves.

This is also the reason why Li Xian prescribed a hundred rods, if he didn't kill people indiscriminately, but just robbed the property, sometimes it was still excusable.

But as long as they are fed, they will not rob the people.

On March 18, Li Xian took Gao Shun and Zhao Yun and led more than 800 soldiers to Yecheng.
