Chapter 21: The Righteous Son

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, obviously shocked by Lu Bu's words.

Lu Bu's words didn't sound like anything at first glance, just a name, as an elder and a powerful minister and military general, this seems normal, but it is not normal in this era.

In the context of such a great era, in the imperial society, there are generally two children who can be named, one is the king and the other is the father, which is the etiquette system established since the Zhou Dynasty, the so-called monarch and ministers, father and son, the position of the head of the monarch and the family are unshakable, and now the baby's father Gongsun Zan is dead, then there is only one Son of Heaven who is qualified to name him, or should it be said that the name is given, but when the Son of Heaven is far away in Luoyang, and Lu Bu wants to say so, expressing ambition is secondary, I'm afraid this is a signal to Zhao Yun: Lu Bu can give this Gongsun Zhan's young son a name, and even adopt him with his own surname and become his father who is not related by blood.

What is the attraction of this child to him? is still a baby in swaddling clothes, no one can guarantee what his future will be, and Zhao Yun doesn't think that Lu Bu is the kind of person who is willing to do some thankless things without benefits, none of these people who can become a prince is a really simple character, not to mention that Lu Fengxian, who is now a leader among the princes in the world, really wants to treat him as a martial artist who is only famous in the tiger prison, then he will definitely suffer a big loss.

Zhao Yun thought about it, with Lu Bu's current strength, it was not a problem to sweep Youzhou, and it didn't take too much effort to control this young son of Gongsun Zhan, although it was easy to envelop those old departments of Gongsun Chan in Youzhou, plus there was the towering tree of the imperial court standing behind him. It's easy to control Youzhou for your own use, but if it's just for this purpose, can Lu Fengxian still be Lu Fengxian?

But if it weren't for Gongsun Zhan's young son, then could it be that Lu Bu's real goal was himself?

Zhao Yun is not a conceited and arrogant person like Guan Yu who always only recognizes Lao Tzu as the second in the world - the first must of course be his eldest brother Liu Bei (Guan Er Ye was dragged out of the whip corpse again, despising shì deep illusion), but he will not be arrogant, under Gongsun Zhan, he is a well-deserved first person in terms of personal ability, leadership ability and execution of the charge, even Gongsun Zhan, who is feared by the Karasuma people and called General White Horse, is inferior.

If he's not wrong. Lu Bu really asked for him, and if he could do it. That is the matter of submitting oneself to him, using it for his own purposes, and becoming the sharpest point of the spear in his hand.

Zhao Yun was hesitant in his heart about this, because of Gongsun Zhan, he was a little tired now. I feel like it's better to rest for a while. More importantly, he felt that Lu Bu might not be his best opportunity. Especially if you don't know him very well.

Although Lu Bu's reputation has long been famous, how many people can really understand him, or how many people can really see him clearly?

In the original history. The reason why Zhao Yun was willing to follow Liu Bei immediately after the fall of Gongsun Zhan was because the two had dealt with each other many times before, and on those few occasions, he thought that he had really understood what kind of person Boss Liu was, and thought that he was worthy of trust, and that he would definitely have a future if he followed him, and later he became the general of the Five Tigers of Shu Han; But what about Lu Bu?

Although Zhao Yun didn't say it explicitly, the hesitation on his face could be seen by everyone, and Lu Bu could also think of this, so he thought for a while and then smiled: "Zilong doesn't need to reply in a hurry, go back and rest first to recover his body." ”

Lu Bu said that he was not in a hurry to reply, so he really didn't care about Zhao Yun anymore, and patted Chi Su's big buttocks, Chi Suo Herod immediately ran away, and Zhao Yun's mind was immediately blown away by the whistling wind, just sitting on the back of Chi Su's horse, but he couldn't help but think of his newly dead mount, although it was definitely not as good as a BMW like Chi Su.

Zhao Yun is a person who values feelings, even if the current object is just a horse, it is precisely because of this that Lu Bu's words make it difficult for him to answer, otherwise he will refuse directly, but what should the little young master do?

Lu Bu didn't care what Zhao Yun thought, the red horse was ridden away by him, he could only choose a war horse to ride at random from the side, as for the original owner of the war horse, he could only consider himself unlucky, not to mention that he didn't feel unlucky at all, Lu Bu was his greatest honor to be able to ride his horse.

This time the operation against Gongsun Du was a failure, Lu Bu's original plan was to ambush the tens of thousands of troops near Hanchang, and wait until the day agreed with Gongsun Du came, and Gongsun Du would kill him with one blow after he came, but he didn't expect that because of Zhao Yun's appearance, Gongsun Du came to the vicinity of Hanchang in pursuit of him, and somehow got Lu Bu's true purpose, and immediately fled from here.

But on the way back, Lu Bu was not the slightest frustrated, but a little happy, if he did it again, in the case of knowing in advance and unable to change it, he would probably choose this, because with Zhao Yun, it would be worth it.

In fact, for Zhao Yun in the Three Kingdoms, there are not many controversies in later generations, and many games also like to set Zhao Yun as the image of the first military general of the Three Kingdoms, even more than Lu Bu, but if you really study it carefully, whether Zhao Yun is really that strong, and whether he is just a person with excellent personal ability and is not suitable for leading troops, these are all questions.

However, Lu Bu will not doubt at least one thing now, that is, Zhao Yun is indeed very strong, even if he is not confronting himself now, but as the keen sense of the world's number one general, Lu Bu can still detect that Zhao Yun has the kind of "potential" that belongs to the super-first-class general.

That kind of thing that Guan Yu has, and then he died, Zhang Fei has, and then he also died, they all died under Lu Bu, Lu Bu didn't want Zhao Yun to die under his hands, he hoped that Zhao Yun could be used for himself and become his most useful unsheathed blade.

As for whether he can succeed, he is also very confident, because he thinks that he has found Zhao Yun's biggest weakness at this time, especially after returning to Hanchang City, after arranging Zhao Yun in the temporary residence, when he went to visit, he saw Zhao Yun several times and three times, regardless of his precious time to rest, and coaxed him to sleep soundly all the way to the chase and kill, but when he finally woke up in the quiet realm of the city, but kept crying and crying, this confidence was deepened.

After finally putting the baby to sleep again, Zhao Yun finally glanced at Lu Bu with a complicated expression, and then handed the baby over to the nurse Lu Bu temporarily found to take care of, "Wen Hou is looking for me?" ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "Ben Hou just sent this nurse over, Zilong is good at fighting on the battlefield and charging into battle, this work of taking care of children is still handed over to someone who really understands, otherwise Ben Hou is really worried that Xin'er will be taught badly, and he will fight and kill since he was a child." ”

Zhao Yun was a little embarrassed, but then he was a little stunned, and muttered, "Xin'er? ”

Lu Budao: "It's the child's name, Ben Hou decided to name him Xin, called Gongsun Xin, and Lu Yi's righteous word together is the word Xinyi, Ben Hou hopes that in the future, the two brothers can also be as good as their name, and faith and righteousness are the foundation." ”

Zhao Yun was slightly moved when he heard that Lu Bu still let the child have the surname Gongsun, but then he frowned again and said, "Lu Yi...... Wen Hou already has an heir? ”

Lu Bu spread his hands and said: "What's so strange about this, can't Ben Hou have his own heirs?" ”

Although he said that, Lu Bu understood Zhao Yun's thoughts.

Heirs are the way of incense inheritance, which is different from daughters, originally Zhao Yun had not heard that Lu Bu had children, only heard that there was a daughter, so after some consideration, Lu Bu expected that he should have been a little tempted.

Gongsun Zhan's Tuogu and Zhao Yun's temperament in his bones made him emotionally inclined to Lu Bu after some careful consideration during his return to the city, but intellectually he may still need to test Lu Bu, you must know that in this world, not only the lord is selecting talents, but also talented people should live in good wood, as long as Lu Bu is a lord worthy of following in Zhao Yun's opinion, there will be no last trace of doubt.

But now that he heard that Lu Bu already had a son of his own, this idea was shaken again.

Although even if Lu Bu doesn't have his own son now, there will inevitably be one in the future, and Zhao Yun can't always control him from not wanting his own son, but at that time, Gongsun Xin, who is the son of Yizi, will definitely accumulate a little affection with him after a certain amount of time, although Zhao Yun also knows that the shallow feelings for the princes and superiors are nothing, but at some times, this emotional foundation will still play a role, at least Gongsun Xin can get a better life because of this, And it will be more secure.

But since he has his own son first, it is difficult to say what Lu Bu will do to this young son of Gongsun Zhan, after all, the righteous son is just a righteous son, just like Liu Feng in history, before Liu Chan was born, he may be Liu Bei's treasure in the palm of his hand, as soon as Liu Chan comes, he will become a grass, and even inferior.

Zhao Yun listened to Lu Bu's words, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Yun naturally didn't mean this, it's just ......"

Ben Hou knew Zilong's doubts, which was nothing more than that Xin'er was not his own child, and he was worried that he would be wronged. But Ben Hou can guarantee here, he will definitely treat him as his own, and there will be no difference between him and Lu Yi, of course, if Zilong wants to leave, then it may be ......" Lu Bu pretended to be embarrassed, and there was a threat in the open and in secret, which made Zhao Yun's heart suddenly feel cold.

"Wen Hou, don't worry, believe ...... Where the letter is, the clouds will be there, and they will never leave him. ”

"Could it be that Benhou wants Zilong to lead the troops to the battle, and Zilong will not leave?"

"Of course not......" Zhao Yun hurriedly tried to defend himself, only to find out that he was an honest person and was bullied, and he couldn't help but wonder if his move was correct.

Lu Bu fought for this purpose from the beginning, but he didn't expect to be able to achieve his wish so quickly.

Although Zhao Yun still didn't make a clear statement, as long as he didn't object to staying, Lu Bu had absolute confidence that he would never have the intention of leaving, Zhao Yun's character was somewhat emotional, he was a person who valued love and righteousness, and sometimes he could become someone else's weakness to break through him.
