Zhao Yun silently looked at the Zhending defenders who were screaming and fleeing.

Alas~

Although he knew that these rabble were useless, but the morale was destroyed so easily, it still made Zhao Yun a little disappointed, if the Youzhou army was here back then, not to mention defeated, but it was no problem to hold the river for three days.

But it's not difficult to understand, after all, even the county order has run away, the county lieutenant died in battle, although he has the right to command the army, but after all, he is an outsider, the military authority is not established, the people's hearts are not aligned, in times of crisis, do you really expect to be united?

"Brother, let's go! It's hard to hold on. Several Zhao Zhuang disciples stepped forward and pulled Zhao Yundao.

At this time, a cavalry rushed along the east bank of the river to kill this side, it was Han De who made a detour, found the place where the ice had not been broken, and led the cavalry across the river.

"Let's go!" Zhao Yun sighed, the defense line that he had worked so hard to prepare was broken like this, he was a little unwilling in his heart, but he was helpless, the gap between the enemy and me was too great, no matter morale or combat strength, the Guanzhong army could crush them.

It's just that even if the retreat is really determined, how long can it be stopped?

Even with the kind of crossbow that Tai Shici took out, the city wall may not be able to hold it.

At that moment, Zhao Yun took the children of the Zhao family to retreat to Zhending before Han De led the army to arrive, and prepared to defend the city, but when he returned to the city, he saw a chaotic city, and the people who did not know the truth were carrying their belongings to the outside of the city.

"What happened?" Zhao Yun grabbed a county guard who hurried by, and frowned.

The county guard was a little impatient, and when he saw that it was Zhao Yun, he still held back his anger, but his voice was not very polite: "The county orders have all run away, what's the use of me waiting here?" ”

Zhang Lin ran away!?

When Zhao Yun heard this, he was immediately stunned, and he ran away? What about the city?

"Please also ask General Zhao to let go." The county guard looked at Zhao Yun and held on to him, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone didn't want to be an enemy of the Guanzhong Army, but now that the county orders are gone, what can I do if I stay?" ”

Zhao Yun subconsciously let go of his hand, frowning and looking at the panicked crowd around him, feeling very uncomfortable.

He was still thinking about how to keep the real determination, but the county order, the county official, and the county guard just gave up, and it was these people who invited him to come out to defend against the enemy, and now these people are the first to run.

"The Guanzhong Army has come in!" At this moment, with an exclamation, I saw people rushing back from the direction of the city gate, followed by war horses galloping through the city.

On horseback, a cavalryman shouted quickly: "The people in the city don't need to panic, my Guanzhong army never hurts the people, everyone can go home separately, don't walk around!" ”

Looking at the cavalry who were shouting and rushing towards this side, Zhao Yun subconsciously wanted to make a move, but he just looked at the people who were running home quickly, and the spears they raised were powerless to put down, and fighting again at this time would only implicate the innocent, which was not what Zhao Yun wanted.

"But General Zilong?" A Guanzhong big man rode a horse in front of Zhao Yun and his group, after all, this group of cavalry looked a little dazzling in the panicked crowd.

"Exactly!" Zhao Yun's face turned cold.

"My general invited, please talk to the general." The big man saluted at Zhao Yun.

"Brother, no, if they ambush and assassinate, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to escape, so it's better to take advantage of the fact that the city gate is not occupied by the enemy at this time, and kill out of the city first." A Zhao family disciple hurriedly said.

Zhao Yun frowned and looked at this general, nodded and said, "Lead the way." ”

It's not difficult to break through, but they can go, Zhao Zhuang can't go, if Tai Shici slaughters Zhao Zhuang in a fit of anger, Zhao Yun is afraid that he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"Brother!" Several Zhao Zhuang disciples were in a hurry.

Zhao Yun shook his head: "You wait and go back to the village to wait for news, don't conflict with others." ”

Several Zhao Zhuang disciples were dissatisfied, but once Zhao Yun decided, it would not be changed no matter what, and now that the city is really broken, Zhao Zhuang may also be threatened, not only from the Guanzhong army, but also from the chaos and county guards who escaped from the city, they really need to be guarded, and everyone has to listen to Zhao Yun's persuasion and return to Zhuang together.

Zhao Yun followed Han De straight to the government office, Tai Shici had already begun to order people to appease the people, and at the same time, the clerks accompanying the army began to help deal with the official affairs of the county.

"I've seen the general." Zhao Yun saluted Tai Shici.

"Zhao Yun, the lord of Zhao Zhuang, joined the army in his early years, worked under Yuan Shao's account, and then switched to Gongsun Zhan, served in Baima Yicong, five years ago because of the death of his brother in the family, returned to his hometown to guard filial piety, and fought with the former general Wen Chou under Yuan Shao, regardless of victory or defeat." Tai Shi Ci put down the bamboo slip in his hand, looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong is now that his filial piety period has expired, have you ever thought about going out again?" ”

"Never." Zhao Yun shook his head, he naturally thought about this kind of thing, but he didn't think about Chen Mo.

"My lord is thirsty for talent, and with your talent, it is a pity to be wasted in the countryside." Tai Shi Ci shook his head and smiled, for Zhao Yun's words, he naturally understood that in these years, most of the talented people have the desire to show their ambitions, the reason why they say this is not that they don't want to be famous, they just don't want to have an accident here, but Tai Shi Ci didn't break it.

"The cloud chest has no ambitions, which makes the general smile." Zhao Yun arched his hand.

"It's okay, everyone has their own ambitions, I won't force it." Tai Shi Ci said with a smile: "But I still want to ask Zilong to go to Yecheng with me to see my lord, firstly, my lord has always appreciated talents like you, and secondly, although I don't know where your heart is, but since you and I have met, it is not bad for you to see it. ”

"If Yun Ruo goes to Yecheng, how can he leave?" Zhao Yun frowned.

"If I want to force you to stay, I can, why bother sending you to Yecheng?" Tai Shi Ci glanced at Zhao Yun and said with a smile: "Under my lord's command, the strategists are like clouds, and the fierce generals are like rain, although Zilong has generals, but he will not ask my lord to stay, no matter how you look at him, my lord has acted in a good way all his life, and he will not do it like this." ”

If it was Tian Feng, Frustration, and Trial, if these people refused to obey, Chen Mo would never let them go, but Zhao Yun was different, maybe he was a general, but he was just a general, and he would not ask Chen Mo to do such a thing.

"Do you have a choice?" Zhao Yun said speechlessly.

"Don't say it as if I forced you." Tai Shi Ci shook his head and said: "The lord doesn't even know that there is a talent like you in practice, this matter is my own opinion, I want to recommend it to the lord, whether it can be used, it is not yet known, don't worry, my lord is quite benevolent most of the time." ”

"In that case, Yun wants to go back to the village to explain." Zhao Yun hugged his fists.

"However, this matter is not urgent, I still have military affairs, and it is difficult to take you to see the lord for a while, so I will stay in our army for a while, and after this battle, I will take you to see the lord." Tai Shi Ci nodded very happily.

Zhao Yun was a little surprised that Tai Shi Ci would let him leave so easily, and said with some curiosity: "The general is not worried about whether he will go back in the next place?" ”

"You, it's not like, if you really don't believe in your word, the Inaba incident is a good thing." Tai Shi Ci said.

Zhao Yun looked at Tai Shici puzzled.

"If you leave directly, it means that you are an unrighteous person, and in that case, I will recommend you if you leave, and my reputation will be ruined." Tai Shi Ci saw that he was puzzled, and smiled casually.

This is the first time he has recommended talents to Chen Mo, if Zhao Yun is such an untrustworthy person, it may not be a good thing for Tai Shici to leave.

Zhao Yun glanced at Tai Shi Ci, nodded, and said to Tai Shi Ci: "Say goodbye!" ”

"General, just let him go like this?" Han De watched Zhao Yun leave, and looked at Tai Shici in confusion.

"I wish I hadn't misjudged anyone." Tai Shi Ci nodded and said, he did appreciate this Zhao Yun a little, but he just appreciated it, if Zhao Yun didn't come, he wouldn't lose anything.

Zhending went down the battle, Tai Shi Ci did not continue to send troops, the army needed to be repaired, and at the same time, it was not a way to fight such a city by city, and the soldiers and civilians in the surrounding counties saw that Tai Shi Ci did not kill more after capturing the city, and the reinforcements were delayed, so they handed over the surrender letter one after another, which was regarded as falling to the side of the Guanzhong army.

Tai Shi Ci repaired in Zhending for seven days, and was reading a book in the hall on this day, but saw Han De come in, and said to Tai Shi Ci: "General, the scout came to report, and he led the army to arrive, and now the troops are stationed in Gaoyi, which is the place where our army must pass through when it goes south." ”

"Is it finally here?" Tai Shi Ci's eyes lit up when he heard this, what he was waiting for was Yuan's reinforcements, attacking cities and conquering cities was secondary, no matter how many cities he captured, if his side was defeated, those cities would return to Yuan's banner, only by defeating Yuan's main forces one by one, then the remaining cities would be easier to attack.

"Pass on our military order, the three armies will assemble tomorrow and march towards Gaoyi." Tai Shi Ci said with a smile.

"General, that Zhao Yun hasn't shown up for a long time, I'm afraid it's ......" Han De looked at Tai Shi Ci and said.

"Let him go, it's important to send troops." Tai Shi Ci shook his head, although he was a little disappointed, but at this time, military affairs are still the most important, and everything else is reliable.

"Oh, the last general will retire!" Han De immediately received the order and bowed to retire.

Early the next morning, Tai Shici packed on the hour and led the army to the south, and when he passed by Zhaozhuang, he saw a white horse general blocking in front.

Tai Shi Ci looked at it, although he had changed into a military uniform, but Zhao Yun's height and appearance were extremely outstanding, and he could be recognized at a glance in the crowd, Tai Shi Ci naturally recognized him.

Raising his hand, the troops slowly stopped, Zhao Yun saw this, stepped forward, and saluted Tai Shici: "Tired general has been waiting for a long time." ”

"I thought you weren't coming." Tai Shi Ci said with a smile.

"Since the general treats me with faith, how dare Yun break his promise?" Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "Since you promised the general to go to see the Marquis of Changling, Yun naturally won't break his promise." ”

"Okay." Tai Shici nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "No matter whether you are an enemy or a friend in the future, but you, Zhao Zilong, are a character." ”

"The general is serious."

"Let's go." Tai Shi Ci had a big heart, signaled Zhao Yun to enlist in the army, and continued to move forward with the army.
