Chapter 374: Sun Quan's Appreciation
"It seems to be said in Bo Yuan's letter that those who hit this arrow are not able to pull it out, so it is best to let the arrow cluster pass through it directly."
Looking at Zang Ba who was pulling out arrows on the other side, Zhao Yun frowned slightly, he remembered that Liu Yi had said this in his letter, once he hit this arrow by mistake, it was best to go back to Yueyang to find Hua Tuo.
But now it's the general of Cao Jun who has been hit by an arrow, and it doesn't seem to be his business.
Zhang Liao saw that Zang Ba fainted directly, and Sun Quan also retreated to the camp gloomily, and it was not meaningful to continue fighting, so he hurriedly asked people to carry Zang Ba back, collect troops and return to the city, along the way, Zang Ba bled nonstop, and it was difficult to stop it no matter what.
"Kill ~ Zhao Zilong ~ Kill him! Wenyuan, avenge me! Zang Ba's face had turned pale, blood was pouring out of the ruptured veins, and he seemed to feel the passage of his life, and his whole consciousness began to become uneasy.
I never dreamed that I would die in such a place, and in the case of taking the victory, I was killed by a cold arrow from Zhao Yun, which made Zang Ba very unwilling, the blood had stained the stretcher red, Zhang Liao tried his best, but he never helped Zang Ba stop the bleeding, with a little unwillingness, he grabbed Zhang Liao's hand with a little hysteria.
Looking at Zang Ba's miserable face, Zhang Liao was a little unbearable, both of them were generals, and they also voted for Cao Cao at the same time, and the relationship between them was not bad, and now seeing Zang Ba's tragic death, his heart was a little uncomfortable.
Holding Zang Ba's hand and said: "Don't worry, Xuangao, it'll be fine, I've already ordered someone to invite a doctor to come over, and I'll be there soon!" ”
"Kill ~ kill ......" Zang Ba didn't know if he heard it, but he just clenched Zhang Liao's hand, and his body began to twitch constantly.
"Faster!" Zhang Liao could only urge everyone to rush back to the city as soon as possible, this distance was not too far, but before it was halfway, Zhang Liao could feel that Zang Ba was holding his hand and began to become weak.
Alas~
Looking at the city in front of him, Zhang Liao's pace slowed down, Zang Ba's eyes widened, and he hadn't moved for a while.
Facing Man Chong, who had already received the news, he had already brought the doctor over to prepare for the rescue, but when he saw Zang Ba, Man Chong fell silent.
"Collect Xuangao's body and prepare for burial after the war." Zhang Liao allowed those medical craftsmen to be busy in the past, but the result was ...... He had seen countless dead people, and he was not ready to lie to himself, but after giving an order to the soldier carrying the stretcher, he left with the full pet.
This battle, in fact, was still taken advantage of by Cao Jun, but the death of Zang Ba cast a shadow on this battle, which was the first weighty military general killed in battle since Cao Jun and Liu Bei and Sun Quan started the war.
"How can Xuan Gao ......" Man Chong returned to the government office with Zhang Liao, and couldn't help asking.
"Zhao Yun!" Zhang Liao asked the attendants to remove the armor from their bodies.
"Liu Bei's general?" Man Zhong looked at Zhang Liao in amazement, Liu Bei's men and horses appeared here, that is to say, Liu Bei still has the strength to send people to help Sun Quan?
"Not bad." Nodding, Zhang Liao frowned and said, "This Sun-Liu alliance is not good for our army. ”
"That's not right." Man Chong shook his head and said: "The Sun-Liu alliance has indeed been completed now, but if it is said that Sun Liu will join forces again, it is impossible!" ”
The relationship between Sun Quan and Liu Bei has been irreparably rift as early as when Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou, even if they join forces again now, it is also their own fight, and they must be guarding against each other, this time Zhao Yun appeared on the battlefield, there may be other explanations, but there is never a phenomenon of Liu Bei and Sun Quan's soldiers and horses combined, who is in charge and who is second is a big problem, Liu Bei and Sun Quan cannot make this kind of mistake.
Zhang Liao listened to Manzhong's explanation, and also felt that something was wrong, and shook his head: "For today's plan, we just need to keep this Hefei, no matter what." ”
Zhang Liao was more concerned about the cluster of arrows that shot Zang Ba, which felt similar to the arrows researched in his own workshop, but it seemed to have a stronger effect, and Zang Ba's injuries were not fatal, almost bleeding to death.
Thinking of Zang Ba's desperate appearance before his death, Zhang Liao's heart sank a little, this matter must be reported to Cao Cao as soon as possible, if this kind of arrow appears on the battlefield of Nanyang on a large scale, with Liu Beijun's ultra-long range of bows and arrows, it will be a disaster for Cao Jun!
I hope the other side doesn't have too many of these arrows.
Zhang Liao was even more worried about the situation on the battlefield in Nanyang at the moment.
……
The wind was carrying a drizzle, the sky became dark at some point, and there was a dull atmosphere between the heavens and the earth, as if it was imprinted against the low mood of the Jiangdong soldiers.
The previous smooth sailing and unstoppable morale were first shattered by Zhang Liao's 800 cavalry battalion, and now they have suffered another defeat, which directly caused the morale of the Jiangdong soldiers to fall to the bottom.
As the monarch, Sun Quan's experience of being in danger twice, even for the rest of his life, did not make Sun Quan feel too lucky.
"Lord, General Zhao Yun has arrived outside the tent!" Ling Tong stepped in, feeling the gloomy atmosphere in the tent, and bowed to Sun Quan.
"Please!" Sun Quan started the spirit of points, no matter what, Zhao Yun came to help, and he did save a lot of people today, especially the Prancing Horse Bridgehead, the scene of coming and going in the Cao army made Sun Quan have a heart of love.
Soon, Zhao Yun came in under the leadership of Ling Tong.
"Zhao Yun greets King Wu!" Zhao Yun stood under the tent and saluted Sun Quan, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Zilong doesn't have to be polite." Sun Quan personally got up, helped Zhao Yun up, and said with a smile: "Today is thanks to Zilong, if it weren't for Zilong, I don't know how many Jiangdong soldiers would have died at the hands of Cao thieves today." ”
When the generals in the tent heard this, they felt a little awkward in their hearts, at this time the psychology of the Jiangdong soldiers was a little delicate, Zhao Yun did stand up at a critical time, and saved a lot of morale for Jiangdong, at least it seems that Jiangdong was not defeated too badly, and it did save a lot of Jiangdong soldiers.
But Zhao Yun is Liu Bei's person after all, at this time Zhao Yun has a somewhat savior posture, in the hearts of Jiangdong soldiers, taking off means that they Jiangdong can survive today, all relying on Liu Bei?
Besides, Zhao Yun had merit in killing Cao Jun, but didn't those soldiers who desperately defended Sun Quan have merit?
"King Wu's words are serious." Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "Yun is just at the right time, today can turn the danger into a disaster, the test is that General Ling Tong is desperate to kill the enemy, if there is no General Ling Tong to contain it, Yun is only one person, how can he be able to defeat the thousands of Cao troops?" ”
Sun Quan also reacted, nodded with a smile and said: "Their merits are naturally indelible, but Zilong's merits are also obvious to all, what does Zilong want, just put it forward." ”
"The courage of the Jiangdong soldiers, Yun admires them very much, why don't you give more compensation to the families of those soldiers who died in the war?" Zhao Yun shook his head, he didn't want Sun Quan's reward, otherwise it would be inevitable that someone would gossip after he went back, Liu Bei's power is expanding now, this power is big, and there are naturally more people who want to divide power, with Zhao Yun's current status, I don't know how many people are secretly coveting.
Zhao Yun believed that Liu Bei would not treat him coldly because of slander, but he didn't want to cause more trouble, Sun Quan's thoughts, Zhao Yun could see it to some extent.
"Zilong is not only courageous, but also benevolent and righteous, which is admirable." Sun Quan was a little regretful, and Zhao Yun's selfless performance just proved that Zhao Yun was difficult to be poached.
Zhao Yun bowed slightly, but Sun Quan obviously didn't give up so easily, he really liked Zhao Yun, not just Zhao Yun's martial arts.
Regardless of the ability for the time being, just talking about the feeling of getting along, Zhao Yun gives people a much stronger feeling than Guan Yu.
Not only Sun Quan, but also the generals in Jiangdong also had a good impression of Zhao Yun, especially Ling Tong, who admired Zhao Yun even more.
And Zhao Yun himself also belongs to the kind of person who is difficult to make people feel bad, compared to Guan Yu, a general like Zhao Yun will actually be popular wherever he goes.
In the next few days, Sun Quan regrouped and prepared to attack Hefei again, and the baggage in the rear was constantly sent under the supervision of Ding Feng, and suffered losses in the hands of Zhang Liao in two successive battles.
Sun Quan, who let go of the knot, completely let go of the military affairs and handed them over to Lu Meng and Gan Ning to take over, and Sun Quan really likes to pull Zhao Yun to talk about ideals and the world these days, and even set up banquets and entertains from time to time, if it weren't for Zhao Yun's refusal on the grounds of etiquette, Sun Quan really had the heart to pull Zhao Yun to sleep with him.
This kind of courtesy can be said to be unique in Sun Quan's political career, and it has also caused Zhao Yun a lot of jealousy and criticism.
However, at the moment, Zhao Yun's identity is still Jiangdong's benefactor, and Sun Quan's heart is too obvious, so it is not easy for everyone to touch Sun Quan's brows openly, but secretly, there is some criticism, and Sun Quan's attitude towards Zhao Yun is inevitably too good.
During this period of time, under the guidance of generals from all walks of life, the Jiangdong soldiers held their breath in their hearts, and they lost two battles in a row inexplicably, and they must be aggrieved, which made them feel the hatred for Zhang Liao and Cao Jun in their hearts, and under the accumulation of this sense of aggrieved and the guidance of generals from all walks of life, their morale turned around a little bit.
As the siege equipment transported by Ding Feng was continuously transported ashore, Sun Quan also gave an order to prepare to attack Hefei again, and the qi accumulated in his heart was also rising, and he could clearly feel this change when he walked in the camp of the Jiangdong Army.
The previous decadence and low millet were also quietly transformed into the driving force to break the enemy's army, and in this regard, Lu Meng
The ability of these people in Gan Ning is to look at the world, and they can definitely be regarded as a handful.
The last batch of siege equipment was sent, and Lu Meng came to Sun Quan's tent, bowed to Sun Quan, who was discussing cavalry with Zhao Yun, and said: "Lord, the siege equipment, grain and grass are ready, and the ministers ask the lord to give an order, send troops to attack Hefei every day!" ”
Hearing this, Sun Quan looked at Zhao Yun and smiled: "Zilong is willing to go with Gu to watch the battle?" ”
It is impossible to let Zhao Yun lead the troops to fight, after all, Zhao Yun is Liu Bei's general, no matter how important it is, before he successfully digs Zhao Yun to his side, it is impossible for Sun Quan to let the Jiangdong generals use Zhao Yun without it, just invite Zhao Yun to watch the battle, and at the same time find a qualified escort for himself, after all, he was chased and cut by Zhang Liao, and his memory is still fresh now, and he doesn't want to experience it again.
The purpose of Zhao Yun's visit this time is to ensure that Sun Quan can break through Hefei, and now that Sun Quan has decided to send troops, Zhao Yun is naturally happy to watch the battle, and can also give Sun Quan some advice, and smiled at the moment: "King Wu wants to invite, Yun'an dares to disobey?" ”
