Chapter 30, pioneer Zhao Zilong

Speaking of Gao Gan's personal ability, he is more stable in character, far better than Yuan Shao's sons, Yuan Shao has always valued him, and the goal is to train him to be the most powerful and trustworthy helper for his future heir, of course, as for whether this heir is the eldest son Yuan Tan or the third son Yuan Shang, he can't say.

After listening to Jiang Qi's words, Yuan Shao was a little silent, not knowing what to say.

Originally, he thought that it would be difficult for Lu Bu and Cao Cao to get together, but they did; Originally, he thought that they would prepare a certain amount of time to assemble together, and it would be difficult to gain an advantage by dividing the troops and attacking, but they did it again, and this is what made him even more uncomfortable.

He even had some doubts that the reason why Lu Bu dared to send troops before was because he had discussed it with Cao Cao, otherwise how could he explain that Cao Cao didn't react at all when he waved his troops north.

But those truths don't matter anymore, the key is that now, he knows that whether it is the high-ranking cadres in the east or the Wen Chou in the north, it is difficult to say how long they can resist, now that I think about it, Chen Lin's construction just now seems stupid, and the cowardice of the expression is exactly the most suitable path for Yuan Shao at this time.

But Yuan Shao is unwilling, if he leaves like this trip, it will be difficult for him to come back, he has been operating for so long, is it so wasted and made a wedding dress for others?

"At the beginning, when the judgment continued to suffer from the chaos, you felt that what Kong Zhang said was not a way out, we seemed to take a step back, but in fact, it was to leave a piece of fat, so that Lu Bu and Cao Cao would fight, and we would inevitably be red-eyed, and we would not have a chance at that time."

One of the things that disgusted Yuan Shao the most about Xu Yu was that he did not distinguish between occasions, time, or dignity. He has a brain but never thinks about it, even if he is the first to follow Yuan Shao's old subordinates, and now he is still directly called "Ben Chu", only he Xu You is the only one, but he does have some places where he needs to be used, and now at a time like this, in order to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people, he must first ensure the stability of his subordinates, not create a little chaos, and not ruin the overall situation because of Xu Yu's affairs.

However, Xu You's mouth is indeed sharp. Between three words. not only made Chen Lin's makeover more acceptable to Yuan Shao, but also took the initiative to help Yuan Shao find the bottom of the steps, but at the same time secretly belittled Cao and Lu, which invisibly raised Yuan Shao.

These words made Yuan Shao very comfortable to hear. And it's clearly a little moved. If this is possible, he will be able to devote his mind to pondering these words, and how to figure out how to figure out the dignity and inferiority of the elders, and why most of the lords are animals who share in the afflictions and cannot share in the joys. Or Yuan Shao wouldn't hate him as much as he did now.

Even when he finished speaking, when Yuan Shao nodded to make a decision, the words that came out of his mouth completely excluded him: "Kong Zhang's words." Now that I think about it, there is some truth, but in order to prevent the army from being in turmoil, we must not say that we are retreating. ”

In this way, it means that Yuan Shao has made up his mind, although Xu You's face is a little unsightly, but he still supports this decision, at least his own safety is guaranteed, he is worried that Lu Bu will attack Yecheng, and he will suffer.

And Guo Tu and the others directly worshipped: "The lord is wise......"

Yuan Shao just waved his hand casually, compared to usual, he was obviously in no mood when he heard these compliments, but felt more sarcastic.

……

Liang Qi County is less than a hundred miles away from Ye County, such a close distance, fast horses can easily reach it in a day and night, and Lu Bu can even go back and forth by taking Chisu.

However, Yuan's army had already laid an artificial defensive line in Liangqi County, and an army of 50,000 with a similar number of Lü Bu's army was laid out here, blocking Lü Bu's army from going further.

Yuan Shao has not forgotten that when Lu Bu entered Hebei to act as a-stirring stick, the siege of Yecheng caused him great humiliation and had to pay a high price as a condition for his retreat, Lu Bu is the person that Yuan Shao has never hated the most, only hated more, because whenever Yuan Shao thought that he would not appear, he reappeared, and as soon as he appeared, it was all good things that hurt him.

Yuan Shao even suspected that maybe the grudge between them had already been concluded at the original banquet in Luoyang, and it would be difficult to unravel it from now on, even when they participated in the second Dong Alliance together, the communication between the two was very small, and Yuan Shao himself never gave Lu Bu a good face.

Therefore, the vigilance and hatred for Lu Bu made him deal with Lu Bu's army in the north more tightly than Wei County in the east, and the one who led the army here to resist the enemy was the only general Wen Chou under his command now.

However, Wen Chou would never have thought that long before he arrived here, there was a group of men and horses who first passed through Liangqi County, and at the same time, bypassed the Yuan army led by him and went straight to Ye County.

The place that led this cavalry team with not too many people and strong mobility was none other than Zhao Yun, who had just joined Lu Bu not long ago.

Zhao Yun's heart was surging at the moment, he found that being under Lu Bu was indeed different from being under Gongsun Zhan, Lu Bu was a meritocracy, even if Zhao Yun was an opponent who might have wanted to kill him a moment ago to take revenge, but as long as it could be used by him, it would immediately play a role in the most suitable place.

At the beginning, although Zhao Yun also moved to the military marquis by virtue of his strength and military merits, and he was also in charge of four or five hundred people, he had never felt so happy as this time.

He is the vanguard of Lu Bu's army, leading the vanguard army with a number of 2,000 people, and the most important thing is of course not the number of people, but its mobility, so these two thousand people are all light horses, fast speed, and no drag between the marches.

And there is only one task for his trip, that is, to take the opportunity to sneak into Ye County to create some trouble for Yuan Shao, the general of the Han Dynasty, which makes him even more annoying.

Although this is not an orthodox battlefield enemy, Zhao Yun is not the kind of reckless man who thinks that he can only charge and play a role on the battlefield, and this time Lu Buken sent him out alone to carry out this mission, which is not only a trust in his faith, but also a test of his ability.

He still remembers what Lu Bu said privately to himself before leaving: "Don't blame Ben Hou for spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, in fact, this is indeed a good opportunity for you, as long as you are willing, you can even take these two thousand people under Ben Hou to defect to Yuan Benchu and Na Cao Mengde, Ben Hou can also sue you, these two thousand people are completely under your control, and there will be no thing that you want to go east and they want to go west; As for the safety of Gongsun Xin, which you are worried about, Benhou is not enough to threaten people with him. Of course, Zilong can choose to successfully complete this mission, and when the time comes, come back and let Ben Hou take a good look, your loyalty and righteousness, your commitment to keep, and whether you are worthy of my trust, what is your ability? ”

"The clouds will keep you watching, Lu ...... Wen Hou! Zhao Yun muttered in a low voice, which immediately caused Xiahou Lan beside him to turn his head and wonder: "Zilong, what did you just say?" ”

"Uh, no ......"

It was just a coincidence that he met Xiahou Lan, originally the two joined Gongsun Zhan together, but later because of the gap in each other's abilities, Zhao Yun had been promoted to military marquis, Xiahou Lan was just a small chief, and Zhao Yun served as the most elite cavalry under Gongsun Zhan, Bai Ma Yi, and Xiahou Lan was just an ordinary soldier, this gap made the two slowly break off contact unconsciously, of course, there were also the frequent movements of the army under Gongsun Chan during that period of time, and they couldn't help themselves wherever they wanted, so it was often difficult to connect the two places.

However, after Gongsun Du incorporated the White Horse Yicong, he did not have much interest in the ordinary soldiers under Gongsun Zhan, and he would not force them, Xiahou Lan was in this situation, no longer had hope for his future, and simply broke away and entered the territory of Jizhou, originally wanted to stop joining the army and find a place to settle down at will to spend the rest of his life, but he didn't expect to meet Zhao Yun who inadvertently took the little Gongsun out to hang out on the street in his spare time.

The two of them were naturally excited, and at the invitation of Zhao Yun, Xiahou Lan also went to his residence with him, and the two former friends reunited, and that night was a candle talk, and after exchanging experiences with each other after this period of time, they were all embarrassed.

Xiahou Lan didn't want to join the army again, but seeing that Zhao Yun was on Lu Bu's side, he was worried about his situation, and finally decided to stay with him, anyway, he has always had nothing to worry about, and he can decide his own qiē, and it will not hinder anyone, but Zhao Yun felt a little guilty about this, so he simply asked Xia Houlan for a deputy general after Lu Bu appointed him as the vanguard this time.

At the beginning, Xiahou Lan was just a chief under Gongsun Zhan, but it was not that he was incapable, but he was suppressed, with his help, Zhao Yun quickly kneaded the two thousand cavalry together before the official expedition, and now he will obey his orders at least on the surface, for him, a new face who has just joined Lu Bu's army and has not had too deep qualifications before he directly became a pioneer.

"Zilong, at this time, Yuan Shaohou's air defense is weak, and the defenders of Yecheng at this time are probably not too many, if we take this opportunity to attack the city in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be much more useful than making trouble and causing trouble?"

Listening to Xiahou Lan's words, Zhao Yun glanced at him, and said angrily: "You think it's beautiful, Yuan Benchu can be a prince, can he not think of this layer, can he not be a little defensive against his own safety?" Maybe Yecheng is already in a tight battle now, let's rush in, if we can't finish the battle, not only can we not create any trouble for Yuan Shao, but we will miss Wen Hou's fighter. ”

Xia Houlan smiled and said: "This is also true, and this is also the first time Zilong you have led the army alone, so you must ensure that it is safe." ”

Zhao Yun didn't respond, but that's what he thought in his heart, but when Xiahou Lan asked him what he was going to do, he didn't hesitate and said with a smile: "At this time, Yecheng must be heavily guarded, not to mention that you want to make trouble, how to get in is also a problem, my idea is...... So...... It's ...... like this."

Zhao Yun's voice lowered, but Xia Houlan's laughter rang out, and it came far, far away. (To be continued......)
