Chapter 35: Zhao Yun Runs Out
In the main hall of Xiapicheng, Liu Bei stood in the main hall with a somewhat embarrassed face, and there were many civil and military officials from Xuzhou standing next to him, and everyone was staring at Liu Bei. Although Tao Ergongzi said in his heart that he would be defeated, Liu Bei still pretended to smile and said: "Zhao Yun is a cavalry officer I borrowed from my classmate Gongsun Zhan!" β
At the mention that it was only a small officer brought by Liu Bei, and it was a small officer borrowed from Gongsun Zhan, everyone laughed.
Cao Hong said first: "The second son's intention, do you want to say that I have no one in Xuzhou?" The great general Cao Bao is here, when will it be the turn of a small cavalry to speak! β
After Cao Hong finished speaking, everyone nodded yes. At this time, Zhao Yun seems to be famous, not to mention Zhao Yun, even Liu Bei is not very famous, he knows that he can't beat Cao Cao and still came to save Xuzhou for a benevolent righteousness, but when it comes to benevolence, it doesn't seem to be all, he also wants to gain fame in this battle of Xuzhou, and by the way, see if he can find a foothold in Xuzhou.
At this time, no one knew that Zhao Yun had taken refuge in Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan saw that he was young and did not reuse him, but just asked him to lead a small cavalry detachment, Liu Bei borrowed it, and Gongsun Chan readily agreed, which didn't care about him at all.
Just when everyone laughed at Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei next to him scolded angrily: "Who said that my eldest brother will be defeated?" How can the second son compare my eldest brother with a small Gongsun Zhan cavalry? β
Originally, others didn't talk about it anymore, but Zhang Fei mentioned it again, attracting everyone's attention to Liu Bei again. Liu Bei said embarrassedly: "The third brother is going to talk nonsense, and the second brother will take the third brother out!" β
Zhang Fei was about to speak, but Guan Yu hurriedly pulled him out.
Zhang Fei walked out of the Tao Mansion indignantly, and Guan Yu reprimanded him: "Third brother, when the eldest brother is talking to Lord Thorn Shi, don't interject!" β
Zhang Fei fiddled with a small wooden stick in his hand, and when he heard Guan Yu reprimand him, he said angrily: "Second brother, do you also think what I said is wrong?" We traveled thousands of miles to save him from Xuzhou, he was not grateful to us, but ridiculed the eldest brother for not being as good as Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, doesn't this clearly bully us? β
Guan Yu sighed and said: "Alas, people are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads, people are dignified assassins, and everyone here is a big family, how can you let the eldest brother gain a foothold among them?" β
The two walked to the barracks as they spoke, because Cao Cao did not attack the city in the barracks, and Xuzhou did not go out of the city to face the battle, naturally there was no cavalry. At this time, Zhao Yun was lying next to a tree leaning on the trunk to bask in the sun, and when he saw Guan Yu coming, Zhao Yun hurriedly stood up.
Seeing that Zhao Yun and Zhang Feizheng had no place to be angry, he went up and grabbed Zhao Yun and roared: "Did you secretly give the second son any benefits?" β
Zhao Yun was inexplicable for a while, he was a small cavalry commander, usually under the control of less than 100 people, and he was not a person with a prominent status, how could he see the dignified second son of Xuzhou, let alone give gifts!
Zhao Yun hurriedly grabbed Zhang Fei's hand and said, "What does General Zhang mean by this?" How can a low-level non-commissioned officer like me see such a noble person as the second son! β
As soon as he heard Zhao Yun say that Tao Ying was a nobleman, Zhang Fei was even more unhappy at this moment, he waved his fist and struck, and said while fighting: "If you don't give that guy gold and silver, how can that guy recommend you in front of the assassin history?" It's just a matter of recommending you, I actually said that my eldest brother can't beat Cao Cao, but you can, my eldest brother can't beat Cao Cao, why can you? β
As soon as Zhao Yun heard that someone recommended him in front of Lord Thorn Shi, he had no relatives in Xuzhou at all, how could this be possible? But he didn't dare to fight back, because after all, he was sent by Gongsun Zhan to go on the expedition with Liu Bei, where did he dare to fight Liu Bei's brother?
"The general must have misunderstood, I don't know anyone in Xuzhou, how can anyone recommend me in front of the assassin history? The general must have heard the wrong person! β
Zhao Yun explained while dodging, Guan Yu next to him wanted to stop him, but when he thought about the eldest brother Liu Bei on weekdays, he was impressed by this guy, when he was there, the feelings of the three of their brothers were much weaker, and driving this guy away seemed to consolidate the relationship between their brothers, so Guan Yu also pretended to turn a blind eye.
"Do you say I'm deaf? On weekdays, the eldest brother always lets you, but today you want to step on my eldest brother's head in Xuzhou to make a reputation, see if I don't kill you today! β
Zhang Fei beat Zhao Yun, and the cavalry following Zhao Yun next to him all surrounded him, Guan Yu said angrily: "Do you want to rebel? My eldest brother and Gongsun Chan are classmates, you still don't quit! β
As soon as those cavalrymen heard of Gongsun Zhan's reputation, they all retreated one by one.
Zhang Fei wanted to beat Zhao Yun again, but Guan Yu heard the sound of talking outside the camp, only to say that the eldest brother was back, and hurriedly stopped Zhang Fei and said: "Third brother, stop, eldest brother seems to be back." Before the eldest brother arrived, it was better to drive this guy out of the south gate. If such a person is not there, if he really retreats in the future, Lord Assassin Shi will never be able to send him to lead the troops, and all the credit will still be the eldest brother's at that time! β
After Guan Yu finished speaking, Zhang Fei took out his knife and said with a murderous face: "It's better to get rid of it and eliminate future troubles, if he is released, he will go to Gongsun Zhan to say bad things about the eldest brother, how will the eldest brother return to the plains then?" β
Zhang Fei was about to kill Zhao Yun after speaking, Zhao Yun hurriedly rolled a carp and stood up, and picked up the spear next to him. He led a group of villagers to take refuge in Gongsun Zhan, but he didn't expect Gongsun Zhan to tease himself and said: "I heard that everyone in Ru Jizhou wants to vote for Yuan Shao, how can you only know how to return if you are lost?" β
He wanted to vote for Yuan Shao, but after Yuan Shao was the fourth and third dukes, the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Yuan family were all over the world, and now there are countless people who have taken refuge in Yuan Shao, and he has no family recommendation, how can he be reused?
I heard that Gongsun Chan valued righteousness, but I didn't expect to reuse myself, I wanted to talk to Liu Bei today, but I didn't want his two brothers to be intolerant of themselves, and they have always been lukewarm to themselves, and today they even found a trumped-up reason to expel themselves.
Zhao Yun was also a little disheartened, and suddenly remembered what he had replied to Gongsun Zhan at the beginning: "The world is in chaos, I don't know who is the Ming Lord...... where is his Ming Lord?"
Seeing Zhao Yun picking up the weapon, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also hurriedly drew out their waist knives, and it seemed that the south gate was going to experience another bloody battle. But at this time, hearing the footsteps in the distance getting closer and closer, Guan Yu said to Zhao Yun: "Ru Benzan, today my eldest brother wants to stay in Xuzhou to serve, and Tao Thorn Shi wants to pass on my eldest brother, you can go back to Jizhou!" β
Hearing that Guan Yu was leaving by himself, Zhao Yun saw that Liu Bei in Xuzhou was powerful, so he also replied: "Let's go, wait for me to go back and tell the lord!" After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he was about to lead his military horse away, but Zhang Fei blocked: "You can go, but the soldiers and horses stay!" β
Zhao Yun had already turned over on his horse and looked at the cavalry battalion, many soldiers in the cavalry battalion looked at Zhao Yun numbly, only Zhao Yun and a few fellow villagers turned over on their horses.
"Your military horses have been killed in battle, and these are the Danyang soldiers transferred to us by Lord Thorn Shi. To go, you can take your horses with you! β
After Zhang Fei finished roaring, Zhao Yunqi walked towards the south gate without looking back, and there were less than a dozen people behind him. Guan Yu opened the south gate, and Zhao Yun rode out of the south gate.
