Chapter Twenty-Seven: Loyalty, Righteousness, and Obedience
After a while, Zhao Xu took Zhang Liao to Linzi's cell, carrying two pots of wine in his hand, one pot was poisonous wine, and the other pot was good wine.
Because of the law enforcement and management of Fa Zheng and Zhao Xu, there are very few criminals, and the prison is very empty, deserted, and makes people feel cold behind their backs.
walked outside Gao Shun's cell, and saw that at that time, Gao Shun sat straight on the ground, saw Zhao Xu, and said coldly: "You are also here to persuade me, I think you are also a hero, you don't have to work in vain." ”
Gao Shun saw Zhang Liao who was following Zhao Xu again, Zhang Liao seemed embarrassed to see him, his eyes were facing each other, and Zhang Liao hurriedly dodged.
"Wenyuan, the last time we met, do you still want to avoid me?"
"No, I don't have the face to see you." Zhang Liao's words are actually true, Zhang Liao is also a loyal and righteous person, and he has always had a good relationship with Gao Shun, Gao Shun would rather die than surrender, but he surrendered, so he was naturally embarrassed to face him.
To tell the truth, for Gao Shun, Zhao Xu still has a good impression, the history of Gao Shun is a person, innocent and majestic, not good at drinking, loyal to his duties, loyal and brave all his life, his loyalty is enough to be compared with Guan Yu, in comparison, Gao Shun's character is better than Guan Yu. For such people, Zhao Xu admired the most in his life, Zhao Xu admired Guan Yu very much in later generations, worshiped Guan Yu's righteousness Bo Yuntian, this Gao Shun is not inferior to Guan Yu, Zhao Xu is naturally very respectful.
Zhao Xu said bitterly: "Brother Gao Shun, why are you so bothered, Lu Bu is a villain, why should you be loyal to him as a villain." ”
"Although Lu Bu is incompetent, he is not thin on me, and his loyal ministers do not care about the two masters."
"Lu Bu is an unrighteous villain, did he remember you when he was defeated and fled? Why should you be so foolish and loyal, and lose your life in vain, don't you feel sorry? ”
Gao Shun shook his head and said, "I can see that Liu Bei is a rare master in the world, but it's a pity that I didn't meet him earlier." As for you, Zhao Xu. You are a hero of the world, if it were in peacetime, I would definitely make you a friend, but it's a pity! Heaven does not follow people's wishes, I don't care about others, I Gao Shun once swore that I am only loyal to one person in this life, how can I break my oath! Well, don't say anything. Those two jugs of wine are for me! Take it! Zhao Xu, I hope that in the next life, I can be friends with you; Wenyuan, I hope I can still get to know you in the next life......"
Zhao Xu listened to Gao Shun's heartfelt words, not to mention how uncomfortable he was, listening to these heartfelt words, his eyes were full of tears.
Zhang Liao couldn't cry at this time.
"Brother Gao Shun, I, Zhang Liao, am sorry for you! I hope that in the next life I can be brothers again! ”
"Don't say it, come, have a drink, give me a ride."
Zhao Xu said: "Gao Shun, you are really a good man, you don't want to die, far better than ordinary people, I salute you!" Zhao Xu picked up the pot of good wine and poured a bowl with Gao Shun and Zhang Liao.
"Brother Gao Shun, Zhang Liao respects you."
Gao Shun drank it immediately, Zhao Xu and Zhang Liao saluted three bowls in a row, and Gao Shun said: "Okay, it's time to go on the road, you guys go out first!" After that, Gao Shun picked up the pot of poisonous wine and waited to drink it. Zhang Liao was reluctant to go out, Gao Shun was furious, scolded, helpless, Zhang Liao had to obey Gao Shun's wishes.
The two men were transferred out of the cell and waited outside the cell, neither of them spoke.
Zhao Xu looked at the starry night and thought in his heart: In this world of the jungle, if you want to survive, sure enough, you can only strengthen yourself!
In less than a pillar of incense, a jailer came out and reported: "General Zhao, General Gao Shun is gone." ”
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are like brothers, and they personally said that they saw Gao Shun going to die, but they couldn't do anything, at this time, they burst like a flood, and they couldn't hold back anymore, crying loudly, and fell to the ground. Zhao Xu first aided.
"Go and report to the lord, tell the news of Zhang Liao's death, and bury him."
"Alas! Such a man of unparalleled loyalty... Brother Gao Shun, go all the way, in the next life, we will be brothers again! Zhao Xu was talking to himself while helping Zhang Liao.
That night, Zhao Xu accompanied Zhang Liao to borrow wine to kill his sorrows, the two were drunk, and when they woke up the next day, it was already past noon.
Liu Bei was also sad, and ordered to use good stones to repair Gao Shun's mausoleum, and posthumously crowned Gao Shun as a loyal general and buried him.
**********************************
However, it is said that this year, the war in the world has risen, and the first Gongsun Zan replaced Liu Yan, led Youzhou by himself, and his power grew. After Sun Jian left Luoyang, Yuan Shao sent a letter to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, ordering him to kill Sun Jian. Sun Jian was surrounded by Liu Biao when he stopped Jingzhou, and lost Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang to save Sun Jian from fighting to the death, and most of his troops were defeated, and he took the road to lead the troops back to Jiangdong. Sun Jian and Liu Biao have a grudge. Later, Sun Jian crossed the river to attack Liu Biao, Liu Biao fought Sun Jian, but Sun Jian was designed, and Sun Jian was led into the valley and killed by random arrows. Poor Jiangdong Tiger died under the random arrows. Later, Sun Ce wanted to retrieve Sun Jian's body, but he had no plan, and his second brother Sun Quan was single to retrieve Sun Jian's body, when he was only nine years old.
Let's talk about Yuan Shaotun's soldiers in Hanoi. Secretly envoy Chishu and Gongsun Hao, order the troops to take Jizhou, about to attack in a sandwich, after the victory divided Jizhou equally, Gongsun Hao when the impromptu army to attack Han Fu.
Yuan Shao secretly made someone report to Han Fu. Fu panicked and gathered Xun Chen and Xin Ping to discuss. Xun and Xin both said that Gongsun Zan was brave and invincible, and Yuan Shao needed to be invited to fight the enemy.
Han Fu drove Guan Chun differently to invite Yuan Shao. Ji Governor Shi Gengwu admonished Han Fu bitterly, but Han Fu did not obey, Geng Wu sighed: "Jizhou is resting!" So more than 30 people abandoned their posts and left. Du Gengwu and Guan Chun lay outside the city, waiting for Yuan Shao.
Later, Yuan Shao led his troops to. Geng Wu and Guan Chun drew their swords and wanted to assassinate Yuan Shao. Killed by Yan Liangwen Chou. Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, took Fu as the general of Fenwei, and took charge of state affairs with Fuzhi, Xu You, and Feng Ji, and seized the power of Han Fu. Han Fu regretted it, abandoned his family, and went to Tou Chen to stay in Zhang Miao.
Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, and suddenly Lu Bu came to join him, it turned out that Lu Bu had fought in Xingyang, escaped from the pass, and traveled everywhere to vote for Yuan Shu; The strange Lu Bu was indecisive and refused. Lu Bu was thinking about a plan, and when he heard that Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he came to vote for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and secretly thought: With a fierce general like Lu Bu, he can make him conquer the world. Therefore, he sent Lu Bu to break the black mountain Zhang Yan in Changshan. Yuan Shao broke the Black Mountain Thief by himself, and his strength increased greatly.
Gongsun Hao knew that Yuan Shao had taken Jizhou, and sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue to see Yuan Shao, wanting to carve up Jizhou. Yuan Shao excused himself and secretly shot Gongsun Yue with arrows on the road.
Gongsun Hao was furious, and he used all his troops to kill Jizhou.
Yuan Shaozhi Gongsun Hao's soldiers arrived, and he also led the army. The two armies will meet on the Pan River, the two armies will fight, Gongsun praises the enemy Yuan Shao, and he was almost killed by Wen Chou, and he was defeated and retreated. Yuan Shao's army advanced straight forward, attacked Youzhou, drove straight in, Gongsun Zan resisted the enemy in Jicheng, and Yuan Shao's offensive was slow.
Since Liu Bei sat in Qingzhou, assisted by Zhao Xu and others, Qingzhou has been thriving. Only around Mount Tai there are often thieves and bandits. Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were old friends when they were young, and they were forced into the city by Yuan Shaojin, so they sent people to fight their way out of the siege and came to ask for help.
Liu Bei learned that Gongsun Zan was asking for help, and remembered the recommendation of Gongsun Zan in the past, and the friendship of his classmates, so he recruited Zhao Xu and others to discuss.
"Now that the war is raging, the old friend Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao, came to ask for help, Taishan thieves rose again, I want to lead the three armies by myself, go to the rescue, Yun Chang went to Mount Tai to break the enemy, how?"
Tian Feng hurriedly said: "No, the lord is the governor of a state, you can't move lightly, you can send a general to save him." ”
Liu Bei began to insist on going, Zhao Xu, Fa Zheng and others all talked about the benefits, Liu Bei thought about it carefully, he is now a state pastor, and he is no longer the small county commander he used to be. He immediately said, "Who will go for me?" ”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei flashed out: "My brother is willing to be the main general, and the soldiers and horses of the second army will go to rescue Gongsun Zan." ”
Zhao Xu also walked out and said: "I am willing to lead an army of soldiers and horses to Jizhou to break the enemy."
When Guan Yu heard this, his long beard fluttered, and he said, "Boxiong, why do you want to compete with me?" ”
Zhang Fei also said: "Boxiong, you have made a lot of contributions before, what do you want to fight with us." ”
Zhao Xu saw that Guan Yu was a little excited. Xindao: I'll go, Guan Erye, what are you anxious about, there will be a chance for you to perform in the future.
"Yun Chang and Yide don't misunderstand, this Jizhou is the foundation of the place, and it needs to be guarded by a general, Yun Chang and Yide are the enemies of ten thousand people, the tiger minister of the world, if you sit in Qingzhou, who dares to offend, I can rest assured."
When Guan Yu heard this, he was overjoyed. Immediately said: "In this case, let's let it go!" ”
"This..."Zhang Fei originally wanted to fight, but when he saw that Guan Yu gave way to Zhao Xu, he was stingy if he wanted to fight, so he had to "Alas! He said, "Okay, this time let Boxiong be the commander, I am willing to be the pioneer." ”
Tian Feng said: "Third general, you can't go. ”
"Why don't you let me go?" Zhang Fei shouted.
"Lord, now the border between Yanzhou and Qingzhou is not very peaceful, Taishan Yukou has caused trouble again, Qingzhou was attacked and disturbed, and the three generals can go to pacify first."
Liu Bei nodded in agreement, and ordered Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to help Zhang Fei and go to Mount Tai to quell the rebellion together.
Zhang Fei heard that there was a fight, and then stopped.
Liu Bei thinks that Zhao Xu is both civil and military, and he is a genius in the world, and Zhao Xu will definitely be able to save Gongsun Zan, so he can rest assured. When even worshipping Zhao Xu as a general, he led the three armies to the rescue.
"My lord, you don't need three armies, you only need one army."
"Boxiong, the matter of the battlefield is not child's play, don't mess around."
"Lord, let Shuzhi and Dian Wei go with me, the Condor Warriors and the White-eared soldiers should be worth tens of thousands of military horses."
Liu Bei listened, think about it, the combat effectiveness of the Condor Warriors and the White-eared Soldiers, in Qingzhou, no one knows, that is the existence of tens of thousands of yellow turbans! Thinking about it this way, Liu Bei immediately agreed. I also thought that Yuan Shaobing had many generals and could not be underestimated, so he asked Guan Yu to be the deputy general and went together.
Zhao Xu also chose Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, and Zhou Cang, and when he saw Huang Zhong, he was more and more eager to try, and thought: I just happened to see the combat effectiveness of Huang Zhong, who was not yet old. Then add Huang Zhong.
Zhao Xu led an army of soldiers and horses, and ordered Zhao Yun to be the main vanguard and Chen Zhi to be the deputy vanguard, worship heaven and earth, and set off on the same day, and sent the troops to Jizhou.
