After listening to Liu Qi's words, Zhao Yun's face showed a trace of shame, and he arched his hand and said: "Please forgive Duke Chu for Yun's rudeness, in fact, Duke Chu expected it to be good, Yun's request is indeed related to Duke Qin, Yun and Duke Qin met in Youzhou, and later his brother died of illness, Yun left Lord Gongsun, until he met Duke Qin in Yecheng, and now it has been nearly seven years. He was trapped here by the Duke of Chu and was difficult to get out, and he was going to die, but he was squeezed by the words of the Duke of Chu, and invited Yun to surrender, and the Yun and the Duke of Chu lost the gamble, and the Duke of Chu spared his life, it seems that he had to surrender, but he was kind to the Duke of Meng Qin, if he did not report it, he would be uneasy for life. ”

Zhao Yun sighed, and then said: "Although Yun is stupid, but also knows that the Duke of Chu occupies half of the Han Dynasty, although the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Qin join forces to fight, but they may not be able to fight, the people under the rule of the Duke of Chu are rich, the people return to their hearts, the territory is thousands of miles, and the soldiers are full of food, the Duke of Chu is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, with great ambitions, and he is also a virtuous corporal, and he is thirsty for talent, so that the fierce generals under his command are like clouds, and the ministers are like rain, and they will definitely be able to overcome the chaos in the future, presumably in the next battle of Nanzheng City, the Duke of Qin will definitely return with hatred, and then the Duke of Chu can send elite soldiers to settle Guanlong. Yun only asked the Duke of Chu to spare the life of the Duke of Qin when he pacified Guanlong in the future, which could be regarded as the last general to repay the Duke of Chu for his kindness. ”

Liu Qi nodded and said, "Duke Xuande is my Han clan relative. Known for his prestige, Lone naturally won't hurt his life, which Zilong can rest assured. ”

However, in his heart, he secretly said: "Although I will not hurt Liu Bei's life, his fate will never be much better than Sun Quan, because Zilong, you don't know at all, Liu Bei is a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, if it is not closely monitored." I'm afraid it won't be long before he can pull out a new army of troops. Of course, although Liu Bei's strength is not strong, he is very popular with the people in Guanzhong, and Guanzhong is a place of four stops. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and my Yizhou and Hanzhong are newly determined, the economy is withering, and it will take a period of time to recover its strength, so if you want to destroy Liu Bei, it is impossible to destroy Liu Bei without three or five years. ”

Zhao Yun naturally didn't know Liu Qi's thoughts, but after listening to Liu Qi's assurance, he was grateful, but he groaned for a while. said to Liu Qi: "Yun still has a request, I hope that Chu Gong will agree, otherwise Yun Ding will not be able to serve Chu Gong with peace of mind." ”

Liu Qi hadn't spoken yet. Ma Chao, who listened to it, shouted: "Zhao Yun, you don't want to get an inch, Duke Chu has promised to spare Liu Bei in the future, this is already a great favor, what are you going to do?" ”

In fact, this is not Ma Chao's intention to target Zhao Yun, but because Ma Chao respects Liu Qi. naturally stepped forward and said justice for Liu Qi.

Originally, Ma Chao's surrender to Liu Qi was a helpless move. But Liu Qi showed great trust in him at the beginning, which made him secretly grateful in his heart, but Ma Chao only felt Liu Qi's sincerity from a letter, but he had never seen Liu Qi side, and when he saw it today, he was even more impressed, because Liu Qi was superb in martial arts, in his opinion, even compared to himself, it was only slightly inferior, in addition, the thirst for talents made him feel loyal admiration, in order to recruit Zhao Yun regardless of the danger and fight with him, He even preferred to endure the other party's crazy attack in order not to hurt Zhao Yun, so that he was injured.

Later, even if Zhao Yun's request was very unreasonable, Liu Qi agreed without hesitation, which shows how strong Liu Qi's thirst for talents is.

Liu Qi is so sincere, but Zhao Yun still has to inch in, how can Ma Chao not be angry? That's why I repeatedly reprimanded.

At this time, a trace of shame appeared on Zhao Yun's face, and he also felt that he had gone too far today, but he couldn't leave his request unfinished, otherwise he would be afraid that he would be sorry for Duke Qin and would not be able to be loyal to Duke Chu in the future.

Fortunately, Liu Qi's complexion still did not change, and he let him continue amicently.

Zhao Yun arched his hand and said bitterly: "This is the last condition of the last general, as long as the Duke of Chu agrees, Mo will hand over this life to the Duke of Chu, if the Duke of Chu does not agree, the last general will naturally not dare to be reluctant, but I am afraid that it will delay the military aircraft of the Duke of Chu in the future, alas, the Duke of Qin treats the last general very kindly, and after the last general surrenders to the Duke of Chu, he will inevitably lead the troops to fight in the future, but he has no shame to face the Duke of Qin, so the last general asks, can he try not to meet with Qin Cheng......"

Ma Chao listened to Zhao Yun's words, and immediately jumped up angrily, pointed at Zhao Yun and said, "If you don't let you meet Liu Bei head-on, what's the use of you?" Zhao Yun, you begged the lord to spare Liu Bei's life in the future, it is enough to repay him, there is no need to make such an unreasonable request again, you are obviously making things difficult for the lord and making excuses for your refusal to surrender. ”

Liu Qi gently patted Ma Chao's back and said: "Meng Qi, and Shao'an is not impatient, Zilong's affairs are different from yours, Meng Qi suffered from Liu Qi, took your land, and forced you to surrender, and then he no longer reused, it is normal to hate him in his heart, but Zilong is deeply appreciated and reused by Liu Bei, and being able to make such a request shows loyalty, so his request should also be considered." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Qi said to Zhao Yun: "In this way, Gu will order Zilong to be the general of Pingdong and the minister of Pengcheng, with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones, and the commander of the headquarters will garrison Pengcheng, and Lone will order Xuzhou to assassinate Shi Weiyan to requisition 10,000 soldiers to defend the city, so that you will not meet the Duke of Qin, I don't know what Zilong wants?" ”

Zhao Yun saw that Liu Qi immediately gave himself such a high position, and directly appointed himself to lead the army to guard one side, which shows trust, and more importantly, he agreed to all the requirements he made without hesitation. Yun is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses. ”

After that, Zhao Yun turned around and ordered the besieged soldiers to surrender to Liu Qi, the Duke of Chu.

The soldiers under Zhao Yun's command saw that it was difficult to escape today, and they had long lost the heart to fight. If it weren't for Zhao Yun's kindness in the past, he would have abandoned his weapons and surrendered a long time ago, and now he saw Zhao Yun shouting the order to surrender, which was naturally in line with his own wishes, so most of them surrendered without hesitation, and only hundreds of soldiers did not dare to surrender because their families were still in Chang'an. But they stood there alone, and it did seem particularly incongruous.

Zhao Yun saw this scene. couldn't help but sigh slightly, bowed to Liu Qi and said, "Lord, no matter what, these soldiers who refuse to surrender are brought by the last general. Now they are in Chang'an because their families are all in Chang'an, but they dare not surrender, the lord is the lord of benevolence, I don't know if they can be let go? ”

Liu Qi smiled and said jokingly: "Zilong said that Lone is the Lord of Benevolence, how can Lone brush off Zilong's intentions?" In this way, Lone will fulfill the name of Lone's benevolence, and at the same time, the righteousness of Zilong, these little soldiers are irrelevant. Let them go. ”

Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he heard this, thanked Liu Qi deeply, and then straightened out the military horses. Following the rear of Liu Qi's army, after Liu Bei was defeated from Hanzhong, he went to Pengcheng to take office.

Liu Qi said to Ma Chao at this time: "Ma Chao listens to orders. ”

I saw Ma Chao hurriedly bow down and say respectfully, "What does the lord command?" ”

Liu Qi said: "Ma Meng is a good general in the world, and since he returned to the orphan, he has made many military exploits. broke Zhang Fei a few times ago and relieved the siege of Hanzhong. Today, I also helped me to surrender to the famous general Zhao Yun, forgetting selfishness for the country, regardless of personal enmity, the breadth of his mind is amazing, and he also went out today to save a lonely life, and the hard work is high, and the special reward is 5 million, 10,000 horses of Shu brocade, and 100 households in the city. ”

Ma Chao hurriedly thanked him when he heard this.

Later, Liu Qi also rewarded Huang Zhong and ordered Zhao Yun and Fa Zheng to lead the army to hold on to Chuyang, so he ordered the army and horses to be rectified, and went to Nanzheng City with Huang Zhong and Ma Chao to relieve the siege.

And at this moment, the soldiers under Zhao Yun who did not want to surrender had already fled to Liu Bei's camp under the city of Nanzheng, and reported to Liu Bei: "Lord Qi, General Zhao was besieged by the army of Liu Qi, the Duke of Chu, and could not escape, and has surrendered to it. ”

Liu Bei's civil and military forces couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, Zhao Yun has a prestige in the army, second only to Zhang Fei, if even he surrenders, I'm afraid this time not only will the conquest of Hanzhong fail, but even it will be difficult to keep Guanzhong.

All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the tent.

But suddenly I heard Liu Bei shouting: "Zilong will definitely not betray Lonely, you must have rebelled against Zilong, and then come to frame a good person, Lone is discerning, how can you be deceived by you, come to someone, pull these traitors down to me, behead them, and there will be those who frame our generals in the future, follow this as an example." ”

After that, I saw Liu Bei's personal general, Chen Zhi, wave his hand, and a group of personal soldiers came to execute these soldiers who reported the news outside the tent.

Zhuge Liang naturally knew that the hundreds of sergeants were wronged, but he refused to speak out and plead, because although they were telling the truth, the timing was not right, they preached Zhao Yun's surrender in front of so many people, if Liu Bei believed it, wouldn't it make the army's heart violently turbulent? If that's the case, I'm afraid that this time it's not just as simple as failing to conquer Hanzhong, even if they want to retreat to Guanzhong safely, it will become extremely difficult.

But now that Liu Qi's army has arrived, it is impossible for the army to capture Hanzhong, and it is best to retreat for now, so Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and then said to Liu Bei: "Lord, although it is impossible for General Zhao to betray, but Liu Qi's army is not bad, just now the spies came to report, there are indeed tens of thousands of troops in Longgangdu, ten miles away, and there are thousands of cavalry of Ma Chao, if we don't make a decision early, I'm afraid we will suffer from the enemy." According to Weichen's opinion, we might as well retreat for the time being, as for the conquest of Hanzhong, it will be a long time coming, and there will always be opportunities in the future. ”

Liu Bei naturally knew Zhuge Liang's intentions, so he nodded and ordered the army to retreat.
