Chapter 28: Ask for credit for Zhao Yun

In the battle outside Nanpi City, Gongsun Chan's side invested a lot of troops, although in the end it failed to capture Yuan Shao alive and defeat him, but Gongsun Chan was still worth a fluke. Thinking about the battlefield at that time, if it weren't for Zhao Yun's reconnaissance all the way, I was afraid that Gongsun Zan would be in a desperate situation and could not extricate himself. And it was precisely because of the appearance of Zhao Yun that he killed Lu Weihuang, the leader of the thief's strange soldiers, thus reversing the unfavorable situation on the entire battlefield, so that Gongsun Chan turned defeat into victory and knocked Yuan Shao away, otherwise Gongsun Chan would be confused in defeat.

Anyway, although this battle was not a great success, it finally repelled Yuan Shao's people, so the 'reward' had to be carried out as usual.

Those who followed Gongsun Zhan to fight, whether it was his younger brother Gongsun Fan, or Jizhou Assassin Shi Yan Gang, or General Zou Dan, were all among the 'rewards', and everyone received corresponding rewards. Of course, as for the reconnaissance cavalry, from Zhao Yun onwards, they all rewarded cattle wine as a token of consolation, but because of their status, there was not even a seat at the celebration banquet. Speaking of which, this is still Gongsun Zhan can afford Zhao Yun to save him from danger several times, so he occasionally gives him a special reward. Of course, with Gongsun Zhan's temper, he was still reluctant to make the matter public, so he only asked Zhao Yun and others to get the wine and food, and quickly found a place to solve it. Gongsun Zan did this, just like Zhao Yun and the others were too lowly, and he felt ashamed even to sit with him, afraid that he would lose face.

What Gongsun Chan thought of Zhao Yun didn't matter, he didn't expect Gongsun Chan to be kind, so even when he was called to receive the 'reward', Zhao Yun just didn't hear it, and he didn't pay attention to it. Of course, although Zhao Yun is not the best Gongsun Zhan, his relationship with his subordinates is very good, he doesn't receive it, and someone does it for him. When half a catty of beef and a catty of water and wine were in their hands, the brothers who followed Zhao Yun to death actually felt quite satisfied, smelling the aroma of the wine and looking at the color of the beef, not to mention how happy they were. Put the things in Zhao Yun's arms, laughing together, laughing and eating and drinking.

Of course, they will not forget that the reason why they were able to get these rewards in front of them was not because many brothers fought desperately for their lives? When I think of this, no one feels any happy. Of course, they were able to win in the end, relying on the results of Zhao Yun leading everyone. can fight like Zhao Yun, they don't know how many times they have been born and died with him, and they trust him very much. However, they all saw Zhao Yun's military exploits, but the rewards he received were pitiful, and they began to feel unfair, and complained to the left and right: "We can get these, and they are all exchanged for our brothers' lives, so we shouldn't be happy." However, if General Zhao had not led us all, how could we have made this contribution? It's just that General Zhao was born and died several times to save General Gongsun, and in the end he didn't even have the qualifications to enter the table, why do you say this, is this fair? ”

It was indeed unfair, the laughter of the previous moment, the silence of this moment, all started to hold grievances for Zhao Yun. And Zhao Yun, without looking at the beef in his hand, casually threw it into the arms of his subordinates next to him, he just took the wine jar, patted open the sealing mud, picked up the altar, and drank the wine in the jar like a whale. Zhao Yun's silence did not arouse more people's complaints, and they were just like Zhao Yun at this moment, picking up the wine in their hands and drinking it croakingly. It's all in the drink.

After a pound of wine and three or five sips, Zhao Yun suddenly felt a little happy in his chest, and he didn't seem to hear the sound of his subordinates, but let go of his mind and looked forward to the sky above his head. The sky was overcast, and the wind shrank in my ears, as if it was going to snow again. It's good to snow, Cher was born on a snow day, and it's a beautiful season. However, speaking of which, it seems that he and Zhao Xue haven't had a chance to meet for a while, and I don't know how Zhao Xue is now? Zhao Yun was cranky for a moment, and as soon as he withdrew his eyes, he was about to make a few jokes with his subordinates. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a person in front of him, which made him slightly stunned. That person is a civil official, Zhao Yun knows him, his name is Guan Jing, and he is the long history of Gongsun Zhan.

Looking at his behavior, he should be preparing to go to the celebration banquet set up by Gongsun Zhan. It's just that just when he was stunned and looked at the sky just now, Guan Jing seemed to stop briefly because of him and looked at him. It's just that when he inadvertently discovered Guan Jing's initiative, Guan Jing immediately took his gaze back, and then without saying a word, he walked directly from him with his personal guards. With Guan Jing's dignity, why did he suddenly pay attention to him, the little leader of the scouts, Zhao Yun didn't know, and he didn't need to know. As soon as Guan Jing left, he left this matter behind. Hearing that his subordinates were still holding grievances about him, he immediately interrupted it, deliberately looking for something else to cover it up. The subordinates also knew that Zhao Yun was a downright person, and when they saw him like this, they didn't want to be reluctant, so they followed Zhao Yun's meaning and casually chatted somewhere else.

Zhao Yun is at the bottom, and most of the people he usually contacts are lower-level school officials, and it is difficult for Zhao Yun to get acquainted with 'senior bureaucrats' like Guan Jing, the chief historian. Even if you have to 'see', it is mostly just admiration for his name and occasional meeting of his people. In Zhao Yun's opinion, as Guan Jing's long history, he could know what kind of person he was from other people's mouths by chance, but Zhao Yun would never think that Guan Jing would actually care about him. Of course, under the command of Gongsun Zhan, with Zhao Yun's efforts to rescue Gongsun Chan several times, even if he is currently just a small detective leader, but if he doesn't recognize Zhao Yun, I'm afraid that few people will say that, even if he can't see Zhao Yun in person, most of them are also heard of by Zhao Yun's deeds.

Guan Jing didn't pay much attention to Zhao Yun before, and there was a reason. In his opinion, Zhao Yun saved Gongsun Zan several times, but it was just luck, at most, he could only be classified as a martial artist, and it was not worth his concern. However, after the end of the First Battle of Nanpi, when Zhao Yun's name was sung in the army again, it was amazing, and his curiosity was also ignited. He was invited to a banquet by Gongsun Zhan, and he didn't take this road, but deliberately detoured to see the legendary Zhao Yun. Of course, he was only watching from a distance, although it was only a quick glance, but Zhao Yun's tranquil expression when he looked up at the sky completely fell in Guan Jing's eyes, which was completely different from the noisy chasing fame and fortune of the left and right, so Guan Jing had a good impression of Zhao Yun and his people for a while.

"Victory is not arrogant, success is not living, it is really a big husband!" Guan Jing gave Zhao Yun this evaluation in his heart, and left from him in a hurry. At the same time, he planned in his heart to recommend Zhao Yun to Gongsun Zhan. However, he was also very strange in his heart: "I used to hear people often mention Zhao Yun to General Gongsun, I didn't understand it at the time, so I didn't interject, now it seems that Zhao Yun is really a talent that can be created, why did General Gongsun not reuse him at that time, and now Zhao Yun is still a small scout leader?" ”

Guan Jing didn't understand, but he didn't have the time to think about it. After entering the banquet, he didn't sit down immediately, but said to everyone at the banquet: "Speaking of the previous battle, General Gongsun didn't mention it, but I'm afraid that you all know about it." At the moment of crisis, if it weren't for a white horse general who stepped forward, killed the thief leader, and scattered the thieves, I was afraid that General Gongsun and you would be in a dilemma. Now that the war is over, I think the most qualified person to sit here should be the young white horse general. Hehe, although a certain scholar is a scholar, he also knows the four words of the hero husband, and he should be respected. I don't know if this young general can be at the table, and a certain person just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and toast this young general. ”

Guan Jing's words made all the generals on the left and right uneasy, this matter really can't be denied, if it weren't for the junior general Zhao Yun to break the siege from behind, they wouldn't talk about killing thieves, but they were afraid that they would be forced to flee for their lives in the end. Therefore, Guan Jing said that he was most qualified to sit at this banquet, and he should push this young general, but it was not false. It's just that everyone was deliberately raised by Guan Jing, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed, ashamed and angry, their old faces couldn't stand it, they were flushed, and they wanted to have a seizure, but they were not reckless.

It was Gongsun Zhan on the table, who suddenly heard Guan Jing talk about Zhao Yunlai, and he also had an embarrassed smile on his face. It's just that he hasn't opened his mouth yet, and there is a governor next to him, so he hurriedly whispered to Guan Jinglai, saying that the young general of the white horse has a low status, and he is not suitable to sit here to meet with the generals, and he is not worthy of being received by General Gongsun in person, so he did not sit at the table. The meaning couldn't be more obvious, that is, to let Guan Jing shut up quickly, so as not to make everyone unhappy for themselves.

Since Guan Jing had the intention of recommending Zhao Yun, where was he afraid of offending others, but he didn't hear it, and looked at Gongsun Chan with his eyes, meaning to ask Gongsun Chan how to deal with this matter? Although Gongsun Zhan was angry in his heart that Guan Jing should not mention such a disappointing thing at this banquet, he was still not good at disobeying the face of 'Changshi', and he was smiling at the moment, and said: "Guan Changshi, aren't you talking about the kid Zhao Yun, the little leader of the detective cavalry, yes, this time it is indeed a loss to him, if he didn't kill the thief queen in time and kill the thief leader, otherwise it would be mysterious to win this battle." General Ben has always adhered to the principle that whoever has merit will be rewarded, and he has not treated him badly. No, before the banquet began, General Ben specially explained and asked people to choose some cow wine and send it over. Why, is it that the following things are not effective, and they haven't done it yet? ”

Gongsun Chan was sloppy, so he hurriedly called someone outside to come in and asked about the cow wine. Guan Jing couldn't hear it, and waited patiently for him to finish the play, before he said quietly: "But...... In Guan's meaning, Zhao Xiaojiang has made such a great contribution, if he can't show it, he will send away half a catty of beef with a jar of wine, which seems to be a bit hasty, how can the latecomers be convinced? I wonder if General Gongsun would like to listen to me? ”
