Chapter 379: [Zhao Yun]
Wei Yan couldn't suppress the joy in his heart: "There is a person named Zhao Yun in Zhending County, Changshan County, the word Zilong, both civil and military, his gentian bright silver spear is a must, very exquisite, can attack and defend well, it is really a general's material!" I originally thought that I would have the opportunity to recruit in person, but I didn't want to have a lot of things in the army, and I had no time to be idle, and Zhao Yun had been under Gongsun Zhan, which was difficult to recruit, and now his brother was seriously ill, and he returned to his hometown, Zhending County is not far from Huguan, I must bring Zhao Yun under his command! ”
Wei Yan wanted to get Zhao Yun, not only because of Zhao Yun's excellent martial arts, but also because he had a strong overall view and political vision, which was lacking in the other five tiger generals.
In addition, Zhao Yun's ability to use troops was not as unbearable as many people believed, and he put on an empty camp plan in the Battle of Hanshui, showing his extraordinary composure that thundered from the side without startling Mount Tai and collapsed in front of him.
"For the way of the general, the first to govern the heart", Zhao Yun wants to have the opportunity to lead an army alone, his merits are definitely no less than Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and even far better, how can Liu Bei keep Zhao Yun by his side as the commander of the guard, almost did not give Zhao Yun the opportunity to take charge alone, and Zhao Yun could not be trained, so he had the name of killing the general, and there was no merit in breaking the army.
This time, if Zhao Yun is willing to follow Wei Yan, Wei Yan will definitely give him a full opportunity to exercise and give full play to his abilities, and will make him no less talented than Zhang Liao and Xu Huang.
Wei Yan sent people everywhere to find out where Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong lived in Zhending County.
Not long after, someone came to report that Zhao Yun's family lived in Zhaojia Village, at the foot of Changshan Mountain, twenty miles west of Zhending County.
Changshan, is the future Heng Mountain, began in Yinshan, across the outside of the Saiwai, west of Yanmen Pass, east across Taihang Mountain, south barrier Sanjin, north view of the Yun Dynasty, reckless and reckless, across the plug, towering, majestic.
Wei Yan saw the magnificent scenery of Changshan from afar, and then looked at the surging Hutuo River at the foot of Changshan, and couldn't help but be fascinated, only such mountains and rivers can create heroes like Zhao Yun.
When Wei Yan led the troops to Zhaojiazhuang, he saw the smoke rising into the air from a distance, and the fierce shouts and screams also reached his ears with the wind.
Zhaojia Village is close to Changshan, and Changshan is bordered by Taihang Mountain, and there are many bandits, so there are no big families in this area, but some poor mountain people and some poor landlords.
The wall of Zhaojia Village is made of stones on the mountain, but the gate is a wooden door, which was easily broken by the bandits, and the houses of the villagers are also made of mountain stones, but the roofs are indeed paved with thatch, and the thieves set fire to the roofs of several houses, trying to deter these mountain people from handing over the grain obediently.
A man in a white robe stood at the gate of the broken village, dancing a bright silver spear, swaying countless lights and shadows, virtual and real, dazzling.
The thieves brandished their knives and spears, and rushed towards them like fierce gods, trying in vain to rush up and kill the white-robed man on the spot.
The man snorted coldly, and the bright silver spear turned, and it flew like a pear blossom, fluttering and sprinkling, and the bandits who rushed up one after another covered their necks and fell to the ground.
Wei Yan saw that the man's marksmanship was exquisite, and guessed that the other party was very likely to be the famous Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, and then looked at the bandits who swarmed outside Zhaojia Village, there were about four or five hundred people, and it was expected that Zhao Yun would be able to clean it up alone.
However, if Wei Yan wanted to win Zhao Yun's favor, he couldn't help but make a move.
But without waiting for Wei Yan to make a move, those thieves wanted to slip away when they saw that something was wrong.
When Wei Yan's guards were a mile away from Zhaojia Village, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was noticed by the bandits.
When they saw two thousand cavalry rushing here, they thought that the officers and soldiers had come to encircle them, so they rushed to Nachang Mountain.
Wei Yan instructed Dian Wei: "Evil, you lead a thousand people to rush in front of them, and I will lead a thousand people to catch up, these four or five hundred bandits even want to loot such a dilapidated mountain village, they must not be good thieves who have a way, they must be eliminated to prevent poisoning the place." ”
Dian Wei quickly led a thousand cavalry, made a circle, and rushed to the front of those bandits to escape, Zhaojia Village was still a few miles away from Changshan, and a few miles was an instant for the guards who galloped on horseback.
After a short time, these four or five hundred bandits were surrounded by the Wei legion.
Wei Yan glanced at it and saw that several thieves were still carrying women on their shoulders, and there were also plundered gold and silver on their bodies, all of them were loose and sloppy, without any spirit, and Zhang Yan's black mountain thieves were simply disparity, it is estimated that a certain group of Taihang thieves was driven out of Taihang Mountain by Zhang Yan and fled to Changshan.
Wei Yan has no ill feelings towards the kind of bandits and bandits who dare to fight against the officials, soldiers and clans, but is willing to reorganize them, and has no good impression of this kind of bandits and bandits who bully the weak and fear the hard and only know how to bully the ordinary poor people, just like in later generations, he admired those Jiangyang thieves who dared to rob money and dignitaries, but hated those thieves who stole wallets on the bus.
He waved his hand to stop the Wei army's killing of this group of bandits, only let them surround this group of bandits, and then rode his horse to the white-robed man, and looked at it for a while, the man was about thirty years old, eight feet tall, tall and majestic, with a handsome face, bright eyes, and heroic between his eyebrows, Wei Yan was a little sure in his heart, so he arched his hand and asked: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it Changshan Zhaoyun Zhao Zilong?" ”
……
Regarding Zhao Yun's age, it is a bug in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In the "One Hundred and Fourteenth Chapter: The Fallen Star Han Prime Minister Returns to the Sky and Sees the Wood Like Wei Dudu Lost Courage", you can find such words "On August 23 in the autumn of the twelfth year of Jianxing, he lived fifty-four years old", that is, Zhuge Liang was only 54 years old when he died, and he was in the twelfth year of Jianxing. In the "Ninety-seventh Chapter: Asking the Marquis of Wei to Break Cao Bing Jiang Wei's Fraudulent Dedication" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "But it is said that in the autumn and September of the sixth year of the Jianxing of the Shu Han Dynasty, Cao Xiu, the governor of Wei, was broken by Lu Xun of Eastern Wu in the stone pavilion", "Kong Ming fell and cried: "Zilong died, and the country lost a pillar," from here it can be known that Zhao Yun died in the autumn of the sixth year of Jianxing. In the "Ninety-second Chapter: Zhao Zilong Kills Five Generals Zhuge Liang to Outwit Three Cities" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you can find "Zhao Zilong, who recalls the past Changshan and made miraculous achievements in seventy years...... Zhihe said: "The general's life is seventy, and he is as heroic as yesterday. Today's battle to kill four generals, rare in the world! Yun said: "The prime minister thinks that I am old and refuses to see it, so I talk about it to myself." In these words, it can be seen that Zhao Yun was 70 years old at that time, and let's take a look at what time it was?
In the "Ninety-first Chapter: Sacrifice to the Lushui Han Xiangban to Conquer the Central Plains Wuhou on the Table", "Pi Zhao said: 'Qing and others are all ministers of the country's pillars, if they can assist my son with one heart, I will die blindly!'" He was forty years old and reigned seven years...... Chenben cloth, ploughing Nanyang, living in troubled times, not seeking to reach the princes...... Selected the spring of the fifth year of Jianxing on March Bingyin Day, out of the army to attack Wei. Ignoring the account, a veteran entered sharply and said: "Although I am old, I still have the ......courage to be honest" From the above words, it can be known that Zhuge Liang wrote the "Teacher Table" after Cao Pi's death to request the defeat of Wei, and it was the spring of the fifth year of Jianxing, that is, when Jianxing was five years old, Zhao Yun was already 70 years old, so Zhao Yun should have been 71 years old when he died.
In the "Eighty-fifth Chapter: Liu Xianzhu's Edict to the Orphan Zhuge Liang to Live in Ping Wulu", "It is said that in the summer and June of the second year of Zhangwu, Lu Xun of Eastern Wu broke the Shu soldiers in the land of Yiling in Yiling...... On the fourth day of the summer of the third year of Zhangwu, the ancestor knew that he was sick and entered his limbs...... After finishing his words, he died, and he lived at the age of sixty-three, and he was also on April 24 in the summer of the third year of Zhangwu", that is to say, Liu Bei died in the summer of the third year of Zhangwu, and he was 63 years old when he died. In the "Eighty-fifth Chapter: Liu Xianzhu's Edict to the Orphan Zhuge Liang to Live in Ping Wulu" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you can find such words: "After speaking, he died, and he lived sixty-three years old, and he was also on April 24 in the summer of the third year of Shi Zhangwu...... Naili Prince Chan is the emperor's throne, changed to Yuan Jianxing", from here it can be known that it was changed to Yuan Jianxing in the third year of Zhangwu.
Seeing this, it can be deduced that by the sixth year of Jianxing, Liu Bei was only 69 years old, while Zhao Yun was already 71 years old. And the convention, Taoyuan three knots, Guan Yu is younger than Liu Bei, Zhang Fei is younger than Guan Yu, and Adou is called Zhao Yun is called the fourth uncle, it can be seen that Zhao Yun is younger than Zhang Fei, so this Zhao Yun's age must be wrong.
In the "Eighty-first Chapter" of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Brother Qiu Zhang Fei was killed, Brother Xue hated the first lord to raise soldiers, "hundreds of Sichuan generals, and Wuxi generals, etc., a total of 750,000 soldiers, selected the Bingyin Sunrise Division in July of the first year of Zhangwu...... Fei screamed and died, at the age of fifty-five", from here it can be known that Zhang Fei died in the first year of Zhang Wu, at the age of 55 when he died, and was 57 years old when he was in the third year of Zhang Wu, 6 years younger than Liu Bei's 63 years old.
In the "Eightieth Chapter: Cao Pi Abolited Emperor and Usurped Yan Liu Han Wang's Throne to Continue the Great Unification" of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "But on April Bingwushuo in the 26th year of Jian'an, Ding Si on the 12th day of Yue, the emperor prepared and dared to announce it to the emperor and the queen of heaven...... All civil and military officials shouted long live, worshiped the dance, and changed the first year of Yuan Zhangwu", it can be known from here that Liu Bei changed Yuan Zhangwu in April of the 26th year of Jian'an. In the "Seventy-seventh Chapter: Yuquan Mountain Guan Gong Shows the Holy Luoyang City Cao Cao Touches the Gods", "So Guan Gong's father and son were killed, and Guan Gong died at the age of 58 in December of the 24th year of Jian'an. From here, it can be known that Guan Yu died in the winter of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, at the age of 58, and was 60 years old when Liu Bei changed his name to Zhangwu in April of the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an, and by the time Liu Bei died in the third year of Zhangwu, Guan Yu should have been 62 or 63 years old.
In the "First Episode: Banquet Taoyuan Heroes Three Knot Heroes Kill the Yellow Turban Heroes for Their First Meritorious Service", "and when Liu Yan made the list to recruit the army, Xuande was already twenty-eight years old", that is to say, when Taoyuan Three Knots, Liu Bei was already 28 years old, and in it, it was not mentioned that Guan Yu was much younger than Liu Bei, but in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms "Seventy-seventh Chapter: Yuquan Mountain Guan Gong Xian Shengluoyang City Cao Cao Touched God", "I have been in the world for more than 30 years since I broke the Yellow Turban. Death should chase the soul of the Lu thief", this means that Guan Yu has been married to Liu Bei and Zhang Fei in Taoyuan for more than 30 years until he died, even if it is calculated according to 30 years, Guan Yu was 58 years old when he died, then he should be 28 years old when he became righteous, so Guan Yu's age also has some problems.
No matter how much trouble there is in the romance, but in this time and space, Wei Yan sees that Zhao Yun is now thirty years old, he should have been born in 167 AD, and died in 229 AD, the seventh year of Jianxing, at the age of 62, which is reasonable.
The white-robed man stabbed the bright silver spear to the ground, and bowed his hand and said, "It's Zhao Yun below, dare to ask Your Excellency, is it the Pingnan General Wuhou Wen Changgong?" ”
Wei Yan was stunned and said, "Zilong, you should have never met me, why did you recognize me at a glance?!" ”
Zhao Yunlang laughed and said: "Changgong Wen, although I have never seen your dignity in the next place, I have also heard about your black horse and red blood knife. ”
Wei Yan couldn't help but laugh, his equipment had spread along with his invincible reputation.
Two men beside Zhao Yun also bowed and saluted: "Zhao Feng and Xiahou Lan see Wen Changgong!" ”
Wei Yan fixed his eyes and saw that Zhao Feng was about thirty-three or four years old, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Zhao Yun, he should be Zhao Yun's brother, and his body seemed to be much weaker than Zhao Yunying, and a cold wind blew from Changshan, Zhao Feng was a violent cough, it seems that if there is no famous doctor to treat him, I am afraid that Zhao Feng will die of illness in a while.
Zhao Feng took the villagers to hide in his house just now, and when he heard that an official army was coming, he walked out to greet Wei Yan with the support of Xiahou Lan.
Xiahou Lan is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a handsome face, seven feet five inches tall, also carrying a bright silver gun, the bright silver gun is also stained with some blood, and there are several bandit corpses lying horizontally at his feet, and there are more than a dozen bandit corpses lying next to Zhao Yun, just from this point it can be seen that Xia Houlan's marksmanship is far below Zhao Yun, so Wei Yan just swept the gate of the village, only saw Zhao Yun with superb marksmanship and did not see Xiahou Lan.
However, Xiahou Lan is aware of the law, and after he was captured by Liu Beijun in the Battle of Bowang in history, he was recommended by Zhao Yun to Liu Bei to be the military leader in Liu Bei's army, and the law and discipline in the army, from this point of view, Xiahou Lan is also a talent worth wooing.
Wei Yan hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted: "Two wise men, please don't be polite!" ”
He lifted the red blood knife from the saddle and said to Zhao Yun: "I see that your marksmanship is superb, and you are full of martial arts, I am afraid that I am not under me, I really want to compete with you, and I am afraid that the two tigers will be injured when they fight, why don't we take these four or five hundred bandits to compete, whoever kills more is whose martial arts are high?" ”
Zhao Yun arched his hand and said: "Yun Zizhi knows that his martial arts are not as good as Wen Changgong, but these thieves bully the weak, burn, kill and loot, and do all kinds of evil, which is really hateful and killable!" As he spoke, he raised his silver spear and prepared to rush at the bandits.
Wei Yan hurriedly waved his hand to stop: "Zilong, a good gun with a good horse, a good general with a good armor, you still have to be neatly dressed to get on the battlefield." ”
