Chapter 647: Forced Landing
readx;
At this time, Zhao Yun was already under siege. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The tiger rode in front, the leopard rode behind, and Cao Peng, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, and Pang De surrounded him in the center from four directions. Want to run away at this time? It's simply not possible! Not to mention that even if Cao Peng and the four of them can't resist him, they are only inferior. If the four of them join forces, even Zhao Yun in his heyday will not be able to withstand ten rounds, let alone the current embarrassing situation.
But that's not the most important thing!
What scared Zhao Yun the most was that in front of Cao Peng, there was a row of men and women, old and young.
And these people are precisely the people who make Zhao Yun feel the most jealous...... Lined up from the left hand, it is Xiang Lang, Xiang Tiao father and son, Xiang Lady mother and son, Mrs. Gan, and Lu Zhu...... In addition, there are also Zhao Yun who have been looking for Mrs. Mi and Adou since the early hours of the morning.
My God, this is tantamount to killing Liu Bei's family members in one go!
But when you think about it, this kind of thing is not unusual. Liu Bei attacked Jiangling, and it was naturally impossible for his family to take him with him. It was originally a foolproof operation, but because Huang Zhong persuaded Lai Gong to join forces to capture Jiangling, it ended in failure.
Originally, Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei to stay at Dangyang Bridge, and he also had the idea of gathering the remnants of the defeated army and looking for his family.
But how could Zhang Fei have expected that Wei Yan would spare the interior and attack from Zhangshan across the river...... As a result, Mrs. Gan, who was escorted back by Elk Zhu, and Mrs. Xiang's mother and son, who had just fled to Dangyang Bridge with Xiang Lang's father and son, were also difficult to escape. As for Mrs. Elk and Liu Chan, they were captured by Pound. When Cao Peng entered Nagasaka Slope, he ordered Pang De to find the whereabouts of Lady Elk, Adou and others.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gan was rescued by Zhao Yun first, so she could not be found.
But Mrs. Elk's mother and son were not so lucky...... Pang De captured a few of Liu Bei's soldiers and led them to find Lady Elk and Adou on Changban Slope. Originally, according to Mrs. Elk's fierce temperament, it was very likely that she would commit suicide in Nagasaka Slope. However, she still held Adou in her arms, so that Mrs. Elk was helpless, so she had to be Pound's prisoner. When Zhang He began to clean up the mess of Changbanpo, Pang De escorted Mrs. Elk and Liu Chan, obeyed Cao Peng's call, and rushed to Dangyang Qiaotou to join Cao Peng.
Behind them, there was a platoon of knife and axe men.
Cao Peng looked at Zhao Yun, who was covered in bruises and exhausted, and sighed softly, "Zilong, you have done your best, why are you obsessed?" ”
"Cao Peng, are you so despicable?"
When Zhao Yun saw this situation, he also knew that it would be meaningless to continue fighting.
Seeing the row of prisoners, Zhao Yun suddenly stuck the big gun upside down on the ground, put his sword in front of his neck, and prepared to kill himself. However, as soon as he moved, he heard Cao Peng say: "Zilong, if you commit suicide, don't blame me for being ruthless and cutting off Liu Bei's bloodline." ”
"You ......"
Zhao Yun was stunned and shouted, "Cao Peng, what do you want?" ”
Cao Peng smiled slightly, "Two ways, descend, or die." ”
"You want me to surrender?"
"Exactly!"
Cao Peng replied categorically, and then sighed, "Ziyou told me that Zilong, you are an upright person and a loyal person.
However, you should also understand the truth that good ministers choose their masters and do things, and good birds choose trees to perch on. Liu Xuande has now gone to the general trend, and his attempt to Jiangling has failed, and it is difficult to recover the situation. Now, the prime minister's army is about to enter the land of Jingchu, and his downfall is only in the morning and evening......
You've done enough today in Nagasakapo!
Look at your current appearance, do you still remember the ambition you made when you and Ziyou were studying art in Changshan? I remember Ziyou said that your greatest wish in life is to be the hero who guards your home and resists Hulu. When you were under Gongsun Zhan's tent, no matter what, you at least did what you wanted...... But now? Ziyou is far inferior to you, but he has been in Hexi for more than three years, and he has fought dozens of times with Hulu in the north of the desert, killing countless enemies; But what about you? But like a lost dog, he doesn't even have a place to live. Follow the ambitious people and wander around...... You say that Liu Xuande is the master, but in my eyes, he is just a villain who sells his reputation.
People say that the prime minister is ***, but the prime minister is in Xudu, pacifying the Quartet, and his military achievements are outstanding, so that Fanbang will come to the court.
Under the prime minister, the people have no worries about food and clothing, live a safe life, and at least live a life of food and clothing; But what about Liu Xuande? If you don't reach one place, you will bring endless war. During his four years in Xuzhou, the population of Xuzhou was reduced by one-third, the fields were barren, and the people were displaced, and the misery was unspeakable. The originally rich Jianghuai land of fish and rice was tossed and dilapidated; When he arrived in Runan, he recruited the people again, recruited bandits and bandits, and ran rampant. After the prime minister sent troops, he slapped his ass and left, and he called it a thousand miles of detours...... But what happened to the people who supported him in the first place? If it weren't for the prime minister's order to send grain from Xuzhou, I am afraid that it would be a scene of starvation.
Now in Jingzhou, it is the same again.
In Nanyang, he started a war without authorization, and as a result, he lost his troops and lost his generals.
In Fancheng, he conspired against Xiangyang and was spurned by everyone...... Are these characters really worth following? Or, have you followed Liu Bei for too long and forgotten the grand wish you made in front of Changshan and Master Tong Yuan? Perhaps, you have become numb......"
Zhao Yun's face became extremely ugly.
He looked down at the sword in his hand, and up at the captives who were being escorted by the axemen.
When!
Zhao Yun threw the sword in his hand to the ground.
"Cao Youxue, I will never surrender to Cao Cao."
This sentence is categorical, and there is no room for maneuver.
"General Zilong, don't take care of us and others, break through quickly, leave here, and find Uncle Huang to ......"
Mrs. Xiang suddenly shouted loudly, but saw a knife and axe hand step forward and tear off her sleeve. It was the middle of winter, and Mrs. Xiang's clothes were also quite thick. But even so, when the sleeve of her dress was ripped off, she still couldn't help but let out a scream, and then the knife and axe hand crumpled the sleeve into a ball and stuffed it into Mrs. Xiang's mouth.
"Stop!"
Zhao Yun was shocked, and the detective was about to grab the gun.
saw Cao Peng wave his hand and said with a smile: "Zilong, don't be nervous, I just need you a word." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Work for me, and I'll let them go.
Otherwise, I can give them to the prime minister, or I can put them to death...... The lives of these many people are only in your thoughts, and you have to think about it. ”
Zhao Yun could hear that Cao Peng was talking about working for 'me', not for 'prime minister'.
He couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Cao Peng.
saw Cao Peng's expression calm and smiling.
My heart suddenly became chaotic...... Cao Peng's words just now were not without shock to Zhao Yun.
Back then, he made a grand wish in front of Tong Yuan to guard the frontier and beat Hu Lu.
And the reason why he defected to Gongsun Chan, even when Liu Bei recruited him for the first time, he obviously didn't care about Gongsun Chan, and still insisted on going back. Of course, there is loyalty in it, but more than that, it is Gongsun Chan who guards the frontier and the name of General Baima, which makes him admire.
It's just that later, Gongsun Zhan had ambitions, killed Liu Yu, fought Yuan Shao, and finally ended up miserable.
After that, Zhao Yun traveled thousands of miles to Liu Bei.
At that time, Xiahou Lan obviously wrote a letter to invite, but Zhao Yun was unwilling to assist Cao Peng.
The reason, of course, has Cao Peng's inconspicuous reputation, but the real reason is that he thinks that Liu Bei can establish a career and let him realize his ideals. However, after defecting to Liu Bei for ten years, he failed to kill even a single Hulu. On the contrary, he followed Liu Bei and wandered around. What made Zhao Yun feel the most sad was that Liu Bei always refused to let him lead the army alone. Even if it is a white soldier, he only follows him into battle to kill the enemy, and does not have the slightest power. If Zhao Yun is incompetent, he may be fine.
However, his martial arts are not inferior to Guan and Zhang, and he can be described as the leader under Liu Bei's account.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable...... Especially later, Lu Ji was able to lead an army alone, but he never had nowhere to display his talents, and his heart was even more depressed. Ten years have passed, and he is really about to forget the ambition of that year! If it hadn't been for Cao Peng, he might have left it behind.
Closing his eyes, Zhao Yun's face was cloudy.
Cao Peng said: "Zilong, you make a decision."
Now I can still call the shots, but if it's too late, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it anymore.
I can promise that if you surrender to me, I will release them all...... If you don't want to be an enemy of Liu Bei, I can also send you to Liangzhou so that you don't feel embarrassed. Where to go, you make a quick decision. From now on, my cardinal is thirty breaths, you can make up your mind. ”
Cao Peng also knew that he let Liu Bei's family go, but it was a big mistake.
Cao Cao would definitely know, and would be very angry, and possibly even remove him from office. But if you can get Zhao Yun to return to your heart, it will be worth it. After all, Changshan Zhao Zilong was his idol in his previous life. Although Zhao Yun is not as handsome as described in the novel, it is still worth his risk. Besides, it is not uncommon for people to lose their official positions and resign...... He won't be afraid.
Cao Cao, can you bear to kill him?
It's just that he can call the shots about these things now.
If Zhang He comes after a while, I'm afraid there will be trouble......
Cao Peng has already drawn a line for Zhao Yun, and next, it depends on Zhao Yun's own choice.
Zhao Yun raised his head and looked at Cao Peng in a daze.
If you say that your heart is not moved, it is nonsense...... Of course, he knew how much risk Cao Peng had taken. Although I don't understand, why does Cao Peng value it so much? But in my heart, I am extremely grateful. Cao Peng's importance to him, he didn't know. From the first time he met in Wuyin, he was aware of this importance. Thinking that he is just a martial artist, how can he be so valued by Cao Peng?
Even Pang De and Huang Zhong, who were on the side, felt a little surprised!
"If I surrender, how dare you let them go, and not ruin their lives?"
"Naturally!"
"If I surrender, can you really prevent me from being an enemy of Uncle Huang?"
"I can guarantee it."
"In this case, please let the lady and the son go...... As long as Gongzi let them go, Zhao Yun immediately dismounted and surrendered. ”
When Zhao Yun said this, he didn't have a taste in his heart.
Thinking that he regarded loyalty as his life all his life, but now he wants to turn his back on the Lord and surrender, of course he is sad in his heart.
"Childe, don't be fooled."
Huang Zhong stepped forward and reminded softly.
Cao Peng smiled slightly, "Zilong and even a sincere gentleman, will definitely not coax me...... Come, let them all go, and let them go. ”
Although everyone was not convinced, they could not refuse Cao Peng's order.
So, the knife and axe hand withdrew, and Xiang Lang's father and son hurriedly stepped forward and supported Mrs. Xiang's mother and son. And Lu Zhu picked up Mrs. Elk and Mrs. Gan, glanced back at Zhao Yun, sighed lightly in his heart, and threw his hand towards Zhao Yun to the ground, before saying to the two ladies: "Let's go." ”
"Cao Peng!"
Mrs. Elk handed Adou to Mrs. Gan, and suddenly asked loudly, "Where is my second brother?" ”
"Did you say that the second master of Elk Fang?
Hehe, he is now working in Wuwei County, Liangzhou, and he is quite happy.
As for the favored son, he was assigned by me to serve in Lianbao, Hexi...... I've heard people say that he's okay over there, and he's done a lot of work. ”
Mrs. Elk didn't speak again, but just glanced at Cao Peng deeply, and supported Mrs. Gan's mother and son, although Elk Zhu slowly left......
It turned out that the second brother was not dead!
It was not the first time that Mrs. Elk had met Cao Peng.
As early as ten years ago, when Cao Peng was only fifteen or sixteen, she had dealt with Cao Peng.
That time, she also became Cao Peng's prisoner, and was finally released by Cao Peng...... Unexpectedly, ten years later, the past was repeated again, which made her feel emotional. The thief of the past has grown up like this?
"Sister, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!"
Mrs. Elk nodded, ignoring Xiang Lang's father and son and Mrs. Xiang's mother and son, who had already left, turned back to Zhao Yun, and was deeply blessed, "General Zilong, the concubine will remember the general's affection...... No matter what others say, but the concubine knows that the general is helpless today.
Farewell here, there will be no time in the future, and I hope the general will take care. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, not only Zhao Yun was stunned, but even Cao Peng on the side was stunned.
It sounded like Mrs. Elk was just thanking Zhao Yun.
But in the words, it was to excuse Zhao Yun: Don't care too much, we all know that your surrender today is not because you betray your lord for glory, but because you are forced to do so. I also know what kind of character you Zhao Zilong is. So, you don't need to worry too much, from now on, each is his own master.
Zhao Yun was on the horse and arched his hand: "Madam, take care." ”
He was responsible for protecting Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Elk for nearly a year, and his relationship with Elk Zhu was also very close.
Once upon a time, they were friends, but today, goodbye is an enemy.
Sunset, sunset.
When the Yang bridgehead was dyed with a touch of blood red.
The smoke in the distance still dispersed in the air, and the corpses everywhere, as well as the ownerless war horses, and the broken swords, and the gurgling Dangyang River, outlined a sad scene.
Mrs. Elk and the others walked across the Dangyang Bridge and left into the distance.
Cao Peng was on the side, quietly watching Mrs. Elk and her party drift away, and then turned the horse's head, staring at Zhao Yun with blazing tiger eyes.
I've done what you asked!
So next, it's your turn......
Zhao Yun slowly took off his helmet and discarded it aside.
He took a deep breath on his horse, then threw himself off the saddle and jumped off the horse.
The moment his feet hit the ground, Zhao Yun felt dizzy. Subconsciously, he reached out and grabbed the silver gun, but it attracted the surrounding Cao soldiers and a commotion.
It's no wonder that Zhao Yun left a deep impression on them!
On the slope of Changsaka, he killed more than 100 tigers and leopards, and countless generals; At the head of the Dangyang Bridge, more than a dozen people rode tigers with guns, and even took turns to confront Cao Peng's four people, which can be described as brave and invincible.
Cao Peng waved his hand and signaled everyone to panic.
But seeing Zhao Yun sniffing his heart, he stepped forward, "Yun has a heavy child, and from now on, this life will be owned by the son." ”
Cao Peng heard it and laughed!
He jumped off the horse, took a few steps forward, and supported Zhao Yun.
"I have a dragon, like a tiger with wings......"
