Chapter 12: Different Paths
Why did Zhao Yun appear here, this matter has to start from the defeat of Gongsun Zhan, the battle of Jieqiao, Bai Ma Yi suffered all casualties, Zhao Yun escorted Gongsun Chan back to Youzhou, and then Yuan Shao pressed the whole line, Youzhou Shi clan greeted each other, Gongsun Zhan saw that the general trend had gone, and burned to death with the whole family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Yun and other remnants of Bai Ma Yi broke out of the siege, and then was chased and killed by Yuan Shao all the way, and after a few fights in Youzhou, there were few remaining Bai Ma Yi from the end, leaving only Zhao Yun to fight his way out of the encirclement with his personal bravery.
Wandering in the grassland for nearly half a year, it is naturally impossible to fight all the time, I wanted to return to the Central Plains from the clouds by a detour, but I encountered the Xianbei people to plunder, and accidentally shot a Xianbei big man, until now, Zhao Yun didn't know who he killed at that time, and then he was chased by a large number of Xianbei people, all the way from the clouds to Yinshan, and later, Zhao Yun didn't know where he ran to at all, just like that.
The story is not exciting, many places have been brushed aside by Zhao Yun, obviously, the journey of more than a year is not easy for Zhao Yun.
"What are your plans for the future?" raised her eyebrows, although what Zhao Yun said was not exciting, but she followed Lu Bu for thousands of miles, especially under the pursuit of the Xianbei people, she was able to run all the way here, and it can be seen that Zhao Yun was almost killed by the Xianbei people after killing all the way, and there are such characters among the white horses?
Intend?
A trace of confusion flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, and he muttered: "The general is dead, I promised one person to assist him, but I heard that he was defeated by Lu Bu in Xuzhou, and now there is a vast sea of people, and I don't know where to look." ”
"You mean Liu Bei?" Lu Lingqi's face became strange.
Turning his head, he nodded with some doubts, looked at Lu Lingqi and said, "I haven't asked the girl's name yet." ”
"My name is Lu Lingqi, a hussar general, and the daughter of Lu Bu." Lu Lingqi leaned on the tent, lowered her eyes, and couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations in her voice.
The atmosphere became awkward for a while, and after a long time, Zhao Yun said with some embarrassment: "I haven't thanked the girl for saving me." ”
"No need, my father said that as long as a foreigner bullies my Han people, he will be saved, whether he is an enemy or not." Lu Lingqi stood up and walked towards the outside of the tent.
"There's one more thing I'd like to ask." Zhao Yun sat up a little embarrassed and bowed to Lu Lingqi.
"Liu Bei later voted for Cao Cao and returned to Xuzhou, and then rebelled from Cao Cao and reoccupied Xuzhou, but was soon destroyed by Cao Cao, and there has been no news since then, and we don't know where he is now." Lu Lingqi glanced at Zhao Yun, shook her head and said, "It's better to take care of yourself, Keats said, it's already a miracle that you can come back to life." ”
"Miss, the snow has stopped." Keats came in, ran into Lu Lingqi, and hurriedly said.
"What the hell is this place, have you found out?" Lu Lingqi took a deep breath and asked.
"A hundred miles further west is Juyanguo, and we are now past Zhangye." Keats said.
"Juyan?" Lu Lingqi frowned and said, she didn't expect them to run so far, she turned her head and glanced at Zhao Yundao: "Show him again, let's get ready to go." ”
"Then he ......" Keats pointed at Zhao Yun and looked at Lu Lingqi suspiciously.
"Let it be." Glancing at Zhao Yun, Lu Lingqi was a little irritable and strode away.
"Don't blame the strong man, my young lady, she is actually very good." Keats sat down and examined Zhao Yun's wound, perhaps because of his strong physique, Zhao Yun not only survived in that situation, but also recovered quickly, and the wound had scabbed.
"Dare to ask the girl, why is Miss Lu here?" Zhao Yun looked at Keats suspiciously.
"Miss, she got the permission of the lord, and took us here to gain a foothold, Miss is a daughter, but the martial arts and art of war are outstanding, but there are many talents under the lord's account, and there is no opportunity for the lady to show, so she secretly took Jingxiang last year, and wanted to set up a career, but she was arrested and confined by the lord, and was released at the beginning of the year."
"How can a woman be a general?" Zhao Yun has the same point of view as Lu Bu in this regard, not to mention whether Lu Bu has many talents, but what if Lu Lingqi should not be allowed to run out and break into *******? Keats glanced at Zhao Yun dissatisfied, and sneered: "Although there are many men in the world, there are not many people who can beat my young lady, last year, the young lady took us more than fifty horses, crisscrossing Jingxiang, Liu Biao sent thousands of troops to encircle and suppress but failed to hurt us a hair, and also arrested the famous general Wen Ping in Jingzhou, and your life, if it weren't for my young lady, I'm afraid it would have been gone long ago." ”
"I don't mean to despise it, it's just that General Lu is willing to let Miss Lu come alone?" Zhao Yun smiled bitterly.
For Lu Bu, Zhao Yun is actually not disgusted, no matter how bad his reputation is in the Central Plains, but there are some things that cannot be erased, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun almost grew up listening to the names of the two, the name of the flying general, made the Hu people frightened, I don't know how many border villagers guarded, this merit alone, in the eyes of the northerners, is enough to erase Lu Bu's infamy in the Central Plains.
"I don't know this, the lord has been very busy recently, after the beginning of spring, I heard that the Hetao is going to be recovered, and the whole Yongliang has been busy with this matter recently." Keats shook his head, the agreement between Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi, even if it was the closest person, Lu Lingqi didn't say it.
"Yongliang?" Zhao Yun looked at Keats strangely, no wonder, when Gongsun Zhan was defeated, Lu Bu was fighting and could be regarded as a group of rogues, and later Zhao Yun went away, so he naturally didn't know what happened in the Central Plains.
"yes." Keats looked at Zhao Yun suspiciously: "The lord is the lord of Yongliang, a hussar general canonized by the imperial court, and he married the princess of Wannian last year. ”
Relatives of the Imperial Family......
Zhao Yun was a little messy, what happened in the year he left the Central Plains? Lu Bu, who should have been exterminated by Cao Cao, suddenly became the lord of Yongliang, a hussar general, and a big Han horse?
In the end, Zhao Yun still didn't leave, although the female doctor named Keats said how Lu Lingqi was good, but Zhao Yun didn't believe it, martial arts may be good, but battlefield battles and school competitions are two different things, at least he can't feel the kind of murderous aura that can only be found in Lu Lingqi after he has really been on the battlefield.
No matter what kind of relationship he will have with Lu Bu in the future, but Lu Lingqi is his life-saving benefactor, even if he is blinded, Zhao Yun can't watch Lu Lingqi just take dozens of women to a foreign land to make meritorious contributions, be a man, and be grateful to repay his kindness, not to mention the grace of life, before ensuring Lu Lingqi's safety, Zhao Yun is not ready to leave.
"This Zhangye and Dunhuang originally belonged to my Han Dynasty Western Regions Protectorate, but unfortunately the imperial court is weak, and the Western Regions Protectorate also exists in name only, I don't know what Lu Bu means by giving you this position of protector, and don't send a soldier to die in you, now the countries of the Western Regions are more secretly connected with Xianbei, we just pass like this, they may not have any good intentions." Pang Tong sat on the back of the horse and persuaded Lu Lingqi.
Juyan was originally Zhangye's office, but it is a pity that the Han Dynasty was weak later, and the Western Regions Protectorate existed in name only, and the proportion of Han people here was too small, and gradually there was a King of Juyan, and the Juyan State was established, although it was nominally a vassal to the Han Dynasty and was a subject of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, it had been nearly a hundred years since the Han Dynasty had severed contact, and now Lu Lingqi came with the identity of the Western Regions protector that Lu Bu gave her.
"How many people are there in this Juyan country?" Lu Lingqi frowned.
"There are not many people, three or five hundred, but this place has been separated from the Han for a long time, even if you destroy these defenders, with only fifty-six people, it is impossible to really get the support of the people of Juyan." Pang Tong pouted.
The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, in fact, most of them are places with one city and one country, and the forces are uneven between each other, Juyan is a small city in the Han Dynasty, with a total population of only a few thousand people, and an army of three or five hundred people, which is not bad, but in the Western Regions, there are not no big countries, Qiuzi, Dayueshi, and Dawan are all big countries with hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.
"My father once said that you don't need to attack the city, you just need to secretly store your strength." Lu Lingqi frowned and said, "We can disguise ourselves as a caravan, sneak into Juyan City first, and secretly accumulate strength." ”
"Stupid." Pang Tong said disdainfully: "Do you see that on this Silk Road, which caravan is composed entirely of women?" Also, even if it is a caravan, can there be goods? ”
"What can you do to help me gain a foothold here?" Lu Lingqi naturally couldn't dispel the idea of basing herself in the Western Regions because of Pang Tong's few words, and looked at Pang Tong with a smile.
"Uh......" I don't know why, every time I see Lu Lingqi laughing, Pang Tong has a feeling of hair.
Zhao Yun looked at Pang Tongyi suspiciously, he didn't know what the relationship between this man with a somewhat special appearance was with Lu Lingqi, not quite like the person sent by Lu Bu to assist, but he had a bit of a madman's demeanor on weekdays.
"Xiang'er, the wine in the army is precious, so you don't need to prepare it for Mr. Pang in the future." Seeing that Pang Tongji didn't remember to eat and rap with her, Lu Lingqi said directly.
"Alas, don't, there's something to say!" Pang Tong hurriedly held the wine bag in his arms, and said with a wry smile: "Since the dark is not good, then come to the bright, we go in the name of the Western Regions Protector, Juyan is still the Han family country in name, and the banner is clear, the people's rejection of us will be much less, even if the king of Juyan is dissatisfied, he can only come to the dark, when the time comes, if the king of Juyan is obedient, he will continue to be his king of Juyan, if he dares to mess around, he will take the opportunity to kill him, and justifiably take Juyan City, although there are not many soldiers, but it is the foundation of the foothold, You can't point to your dozens of female soldiers to sweep through the Western Regions, right? ”
"Reasonable, this is called taking the lead." Lu Lingqi clapped her hands and said, "That's it, Xiang'er, show our banner, and send someone to notify King Juyan to greet you." ”
"Whoa!" (To be continued.) )
