Chapter 63: Befriending Zhao Yun

Although the anti-Dong Zhuo alliance is nominally righteous and the momentum is huge, but the members of the alliance actually have their own ghosts, they are afraid of the strength of Dong Zhuo's army, and they are unwilling to be the advance army, hoping that others will rush forward first, and wait until others and Dong Zhuo are defeated, and then they will reap the benefits of the fisherman, a huge alliance, and watched Dong Zhuo burn down the Luoyang Palace without authorization, kidnap the emperor, the ministers of the court and the people of Luoyang, and go to Chang'an in a mighty way.

Among them, the only clear stream is Cao Cao, he is not used to seeing the princes look forward and backward, do not dare to enter the army, so he led his troops and horses to the west to pursue Dong Zhuo, but when the march to Xingyang Bianshui, but Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong's ambush, the two sides fought fiercely, Cao Cao's army suffered large casualties, even Cao Cao himself was shot by random arrows, and his mount was shot to death, if it were not for his brother Cao Hongshe's horse guard, Cao Cao may have died in the chaos.

When Cao Cao returned to the sour date, he saw that there were more than 100,000 princes from all walks of life, but they only set up feasts all day long to eat and drink, and did not think about the great cause, so he reprimanded everyone present, and then led the remnants of the army to leave the sour date and withdraw from the alliance. Gather in the sour jujube alliance army is the most, but all day long to eat people and do not do personnel, will give birth to many incidents, you see Cao Cao left the alliance, the alliance has no people to act as the advance army, so everyone also had the idea of leaving, on the occasion of leaving, Yanzhou assassin Liu Dai and Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao has always had grievances, so he led the army to kill Qiao Mao, appointed his henchman Wang Qiu as the East County Taishou. Died with this, Qingzhou Assassin Shi Jiao He saw the great momentum of the allies, he couldn't sit still in Qingzhou, so he led the army to prepare to come to the alliance, but as soon as the front foot stepped out, Qingxu's Yellow Turban thief killed it, Jiao He had no ability to lead the army, and finally made him haggard and depressed for the troubles in front of him, Yuan Shao saw that Qingzhou was unattended, so he appointed Zang Hong as the Qingzhou Assassin History.

At this time, the alliance has long been in vain, there are leading the army to leave Lianmei, and there are people who kill people and then leave, the princes have long forgotten that there is an emperor in Chang'an, they have self-respect in Shandong, regardless of the imperial court, and appoint local officials without authorization, Liu Dai appointed Wang Qiu as the Taishou of Dongjun, and Yuan Shao appointed Zang Hong as the assassin of Qingzhou, which undoubtedly shows that the Eastern Han Dynasty regime has lost the right to appoint and dismiss the locality, everyone is trying to establish their own bureaucratic system, everyone is trying to establish a kingdom of their own, and even starting from Liu Dai's killing of Qiao Mao, The princes began to fight each other, fight each other, and fight for territory.

Liu Bei, who was in Youzhou, saw that Gongsun Chan was holding heavy troops, but there was no movement to raise troops to fight Dong Thief, nor did he lead troops to rescue the emperor.

Liu Bei walked to Gongsun Zhan's tent, and saw a group of people standing outside Gongsun Zhan's tent from a distance, pacing back and forth, as if he had something on his mind, and when he got closer, he realized that this was not Zhao Zilong there, why was he also here, Liu Bei was curious, so he stepped forward and said: "Zilong, I didn't expect you to be here, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhao Yun smiled awkwardly and said, "It's General Liu, I'm here to find General Gongsun, and General Gongsun has something to do inside, so let me wait outside now." ”

After listening to it, Liu Bei knew that Gongsun Chan should be discussing something with several of his henchmen and generals, Liu Bei was actually a little cold in his heart, the two people who were once like brothers are now strangers, and now the confidential things in the barracks, Liu Bei can't know at all, because Gongsun Chan has already left Liu Bei out of the central organization.

Liu Bei said to the guards outside the tent: "Brother, Liu Bei has something important to ask to see General Gongsun, please go in and report it!" ”

"I'm sorry, General Gongsun has an order, and now no one is seen!"

"Who's out there?" From inside the tent came a voice.

"General Qiyu, it's Sima Liu Bei of the other department!" The soldier said.

Gongsun Zhan learned that Liu Bei had something to ask to see outside the tent, so he was embarrassed to let this junior wait outside, so he said, "Let him come in!" ”

"Yes, General!"

"Zilong, come in too!" Liu Bei turned his head to Zhao Yun at this time.

"This ..... The general only let you in alone! The soldier said in surprise.

"It's okay, brother, I've got everything!" Liu Bei didn't wait for the soldiers to answer, so he pulled Zhao Yun into the camp tent.

Gongsun Zhan saw Liu Bei and Zhao Yun walking in, so he smiled and said, "Xuande is here, is there anything wrong?" ”

Liu Bei saw Yan Gang, Tian Kai, Shan Jing, Guan Jing and others sitting inside, he saluted one by one and said: "General Qiyu, Liu Bei has important matters, and now the Dong Lianjun is in vain, everyone only cares about their own interests, regardless of the safety of the Han and the emperor, seeing the chaos, but everyone is indifferent, what they do does not know how many people's hearts, at this time, the general should take the initiative to lead the army to fight the thief, connect the loyal and righteous people, jointly fight the thief, rescue the son in the fire and water, and the Han family is in the middle at this time. ”

Gongsun Zhan listened to Liu Bei's words at this time, and his heart did not fluctuate, he said coldly: "Rescue the son, your son, which son is it?" ”

"Huh? General, what are you talking about? Liu Bei said in surprise.

"Let's talk to you like this, just now the secret agent came to report that Yuan Shao, the leader of the Dong Alliance, and Jizhou Mu Hanfu jointly asked Youzhou Mu Liu Yu to establish himself as the emperor, and they are willing to regard Liu Yu as respect, and they do not agree with the emperor in Chang'an City." Gongsun Chan said expressionlessly.

"What?" After Liu Bei heard this, his eyes instantly turned black and he fell to the ground, and Zhao Yun immediately supported Liu Bei when he saw this.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to help, Gongsun Chan saw Liu Bei like this, and there was a trace of guilt in his heart, so he vacated a seat next to him and let Liu Bei sit down, at this time Gongsun Chan saw that Liu Bei was relieved, so he said: "Brother Xian, the reason why I am with you is not that I don't want to rescue, but what is the point of rescuing now, now not everyone will agree with the emperor established by Dong Zhuo, and there are a few people who always think about the court and the emperor, people are either you beat me, or I beat you, the Gangchang ethics of the Han Dynasty have long been useless." , people have long stopped taking the emperor in their eyes. ”

At this time, Liu Bei said: "Then did Liu Youzhou agree?" ”

"There was no promise."

"Is the general really unwilling to follow Liu Bei's advice?" Liu Bei saw that Liu Yu was not fighting for imperial power, which meant that no one dared to publicly declare that he would not recognize the emperor set up by Dong Zhuo, so it was still too late.

Gongsun Zhan saw that this Liu Bei was so obsessed, he really had nothing to say, Liu Dai ignored the imperial court and killed Qiao Mao, and ignored the imperial court appointing his cronies as magistrates, which has already shown that the era of warlord division and mutual conquest has arrived, Liu Bei can't see it, he must let himself lead the army to crusade against Dong Zhuo, didn't he think that he was deep in Youzhou, leading the army for a long time, where did the grain and grass come from, once the whole army was dispatched, he might repeat the mistake of Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe, the destination was not reached, and the base was lost, Moreover, if he is defeated by Dong Zhuo and loses his troops, at that time, anyone can trample under his feet, and any prince killing him is like crushing an ant to death, have you thought about all this?

At this time, Gongsun Chan said: "Xuande, you don't want it anymore, I hope you can recognize the reality and go back and reflect." At this time, he saw Zhao Yun standing aside, so he said to Zhao Yun again: "Zilong, you also have something to do with me?" ”

In fact, Zhao Yun thought in his heart, Liu Bei had already helped him, and it was useless to see Liu Bei, so Zhao Yun didn't come, so he said at this time: "I'm fine, general." ”

Gongsun Zhan saw that Liu Bei was now weak and couldn't go back alone, so he instructed Zhao Yundao: "Since you're fine, then you can send Liu Bei back to his tent." ”

"Yes, General!" Zhao Yunwan picked up Liu Bei and slowly walked out of Gongsun Zhan's tent step by step.

Zhao Yun stood next to Liu Bei just now, and when he saw what Liu Bei did, he sincerely admired Liu Bei's personality and appreciated Liu Bei's quality. Thinking about the reason why he rushed from Jizhou to Youzhou and came to Gongsun Zhan, it was not because of Han Fu and Yuan Shao in Jizhou, he didn't think that he was a person worth following, he thought that Gongsun Chan was a disciple of the loyal and righteous man Lu Zhi, and he would definitely pursue Lu Zhi's style of doing things, but when he came to Gongsun Zhan, he also found that there was no essential difference between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao, they were both people who were reluctant and profitable, and there was no great righteousness.

Today, I unexpectedly found that Lu Zhi's other disciple Liu Bei and Lu Zhi are very similar, righteous and awe-inspiring, the following is their own responsibility, not to their own interests, isn't this the person I have been looking for, isn't this the person I am worth following, at this time I looked at Liu Bei next to him, and said: "General Liu, what you said in the account just now is actually what Zhao Yun thought about looking for General Gongsun, you are really a loyal person, Zhao Yun admires you." ”

Liu Bei listened to Zhao Yun's words, and said with a wry smile at this time: "Hey~ Zilong, Liu Bei is incompetent, seeing that the Han family is about to fall and the superstructure collapses, but he can only watch and do nothing." ”

Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "The general must not be arrogant, if the general can use Zhao Yun in the future, Zhao Yun is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not give up." ”

"This ...... Zilong, to be able to meet Zilong is really Cang's favor for me. At this time, Liu Bei held Zhao Yun's hand tightly, and while he was excited, he unconsciously left tears.
