Chapter 265: Unexpected Surprise
"Because in my heart, all the members of our army are my brothers in Huaxing, and I will never leave anyone in the enemy camp to fend for themselves!"
In Zhao Hujun's eyes, although he and Huaxing are enemies, if you put aside their respective positions, he actually admires the enemy commander.
On the battlefield before, he admired this person's martial arts and strategy of arranging troops very much.
Later, during the most of the month he was captured, both Huaxing's attitude towards prisoners of war and the rigorous style of the other party's soldiers also left a deep impression on Zhao Hujun.
He can really feel that Huaxing is not only benevolent and righteous, but also has a good way to govern the army.
In contrast, Gongsun Chan is indeed far inferior to him in these two aspects.
But even so, Zhao Hujun never rebelled during this period of time, and always waited for a reply from Youzhou.
After all, Gongsun Zhan has the grace of knowing him, no matter how Guan and Zhang don't treat him, Zhao Hujun will not easily betray the lord.
But as a result, after waiting for more than half a month, he looked forward to such a ruthless and unrighteous answer, which was really difficult for Zhao Hujun to accept.
Only then did he realize that his loyalty and courage were not even worth a tael of silver in the eyes of the lord, so what was the use of him clinging to this obsession?
Therefore, after listening to Guan Jing's words, Zhao Hujun let out a long sigh on the spot, and in addition to being sad, he also completely cut off the last trace of his connection with the Youzhou Army.
Gongsun Zhan's behavior is indeed a big disappointment, but Huaxing's attitude is the opposite.
From the words just now, Zhao Hujun could not only feel the sincerity of the other party, but he could also see that Huaxing sincerely appreciated his talent.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to make a promise that he would be willing to pay even a thousand taels of ransom.
In this life, not only are bosom friends inevitable, but it is not easy to find a Bole who appreciates you.
In this regard, Zhao Hujun, who has always been depressed, can be said to have a deep understanding.
Therefore, after thinking for more than a minute, Zhao Hujun finally made up his mind and made an important decision in his life.
I saw him stand up from the chair suddenly, then knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and said sincerely to Hua Xing:
"Thank you, General, for your appreciation! I'm Zhao Zilong...... Willing to surrender! ”
Seeing that the other party was finally willing to surrender, Huaxing was the first to show joy.
But the joy was only half a second, and it was replaced by a thick consternation, and I saw him with an expression of disbelief, and while helping the other party up, he stammered and asked:
"Y-What do you say? Are you, are you Zhao Zilong? ”
Zhao Hujun didn't understand why the other party was so surprised by his name, and replied in confusion while nodding:
"That's right! In Xia Changshan Zhao Zilong, a single name is a cloud word. I wonder why the general was surprised? ”
In fact, as early as half a month ago, Huaxing asked the other party's name on the battlefield.
But Zhao Hujun didn't answer at that time, so after so much time, Huaxing didn't know the name of this person.
It wasn't until today that he finally figured out the true identity of this person, and it turned out that this Zhao Hujun was the famous general of Shu in history - Zhao Yun!
If you want to talk about Zhao Yun, people know that he is a fierce general under Liu Bei.
In the nearly 30 years he followed Liu Bei, he successively participated in the Battle of Bowangpo, the Battle of Changbanpo, and the Battle of Jiangnan Pingding, and also commanded the Battle of Irichuan, the Battle of Hanshui, and the Battle of Keigu alone, all of which achieved good results.
Later, when Liu Bei entered Shu, Zhao Yun was not only named the general of the Five Tigers, but also because of his proud achievements, he was praised as a victorious general by later generations, and he can be called the most perfect person in the Three Kingdoms period.
But if you look back, when Zhao Yun just came out of the mountain, he was actually not a member of Liu Beijun, but served for the White Horse General Gongsun Zhan.
During this period, he was fortunate to get acquainted with Liu Bei, but he did not defect to Allegiance at that time.
About seven or eight years later, when Liu and Zhao met again in Yecheng, Zhao Yun really joined Liu Bei's army.
Huaxing originally knew about this matter.
However, due to his carelessness, he forgot about it, so he never been able to connect Zhao Yun and Zhao Hujun together.
It wasn't until this moment that he finally figured out the truth:
It turned out that this Zhao Hujun was the legendary victorious general - Zhao Yun.
Hua Xing originally just wanted to persuade a brave protector, but he didn't expect to be crooked and bring Zhao Yun into his command!
After learning about this, he instantly felt a sense of character explosion, and the joy on his face became a little more intense.
"Hehe, no wonder the general is so brave, it turns out that you are Zhao Zilong? Hahaha, it's really worthy of its name! After smiling suddenly, he saw Hua Xing holding his fists again and said:
"Oops! Before, I was really blind, disrespectful, disrespectful! ”
Seeing that Huaxing's attitude towards himself was becoming more and more "respectful", Zhao Yun showed a confused face, frowned and asked:
"Why did the general say that? The kid is nameless and hopeless, how can he be respected? That's what you say...... It's really a frustration. ”
"Hehe, there is no fame now, because you are a fledgling and have not yet shown your talents. But in the future, hehe, I believe that it won't be long before you will become a great general! So, you can afford this worship! ”
After speaking, he saw Hua Xing clasping his hands into fists and bowing deeply at Zhao Yun.
Since ancient times, courtiers worship the emperor, and generals worship the lord. I didn't expect the lord I just recognized to bow to me humbly!
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun was instantly moved, and hurriedly reached out to support Huaxing's arms, and said solemnly with excitement in his eyes:
"General, please get up! I am very fortunate to have found such a good master! As long as the general is not suspicious, Zilong is willing to follow him to the death for the rest of his life! ”
……
Although Zhao Yun had surrendered, there were still 2,200 prisoners of war waiting for Hua Xing to deal with in the prison area.
So as soon as he came out of the command room, Hua Xing took Zhao Yun and walked quickly to the outside of the village.
Because Hua Xing had said in public more than 20 days ago that if Gongsun Chan did not pay the ransom, he would "kill on a large scale".
Therefore, when the prisoners of war saw Huaxing's figure appear on the stage again, they all showed worry and were in a state of great anxiety.
When everyone quieted down, Hua Xing, who was standing on the stage, waved his hand and said straight to the point:
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have also seen that your lord did not pay the ransom for you, so there are only two options left in front of you: first, join our army and serve my village from now on."
As early as 20 days ago, Tang Sheng announced the treatment in the army, so Huaxing didn't waste any more time talking about the conditions today, but directly pointed to an open space on the west side of the high platform and said:.
"Officers and soldiers who are willing to join our army, please stand here, and you can leave the prison after completing the registration."
Because the treatment given by Huaxingjun was very generous, and during this time, Huaxing's attitude towards prisoners of war was also extremely benevolent, not only providing them with medical assistance, but also taking care of food and shelter, and never let everyone go hungry. Therefore, many soldiers have secretly decided to join.
