"Newspaper—"

A dusty junior colonel rushed over and hurriedly knelt down in front of Liu Bei: "Report to the lord, an unknown team of about six hundred people suddenly appeared, passing through the Li Zhuang official road ten miles west of the city from north to south, and it seems that it is rushing to the direction of Changshan in the south...... These 600 were all cavalrymen, one man and two horses, covered in armor, extremely fast, and the formation stretched for two miles, but there were no banners to identify. ”

Liu Bei and the others were taken aback, and Zhang Fei asked loudly, "I really can't see who it is?" ”

The little colonel, who is over thirty years old and full of vicissitudes of life, shook his head again and again: "My subordinates really can't see who it is, but it is definitely not the Youzhou Army that we are familiar with, let alone the Wuhuan cavalry with mixed clothes." ”

Guan Yu's lying silkworm eyebrows were tightly locked, repeatedly weighing the possible hazards, Zhang Fei muttered and guessed that it might be the scout camp quietly sent by Yuan Shao, but after speaking, he immediately denied himself, Yuan Jun's forward has just arrived in the south of the river, even if he sends scouts, he will not go far from the westerly place of the main battlefield, not to mention the six hundred people.

Liu Bei suddenly remembered something, and bent down to help the panting colonel: "You just said that this team of cavalry is running in the direction of Changshan?" ”

The little colonel gratefully clasped his fists and saluted: "The official road in the west can only lead to Changshan in the south, which is more than 100 miles to the south, and only when you reach Changshan, can there be an official road connecting the west and the state and the south of Jizhong...... Lord, his subordinates dared to guess that this cavalry was not the Yuan army we were familiar with, and I am afraid that only the rumored well-trained Qingzhou Iron Cavalry would have such sophisticated equipment, so ...... If they had gone east, they would most likely have met the large Yuan army that had been heading north. ”

"Huh? I see! I know who it is. Liu Bei grabbed Guan Yu with one hand and Zhang Fei with the other. Hurried back to the county office in the city.

Zhang Fei, who was confused, asked as he walked: "Who is it, big brother?" ”

"Liu Cun Liu Zijian! Go back and get ready. Immediately follow me to Changshan. Liu Bei replied in a deep voice. The pace is getting faster and faster.

Guan Yu finally understood: "Could it be that Liu Zijian went to Changshan to recruit Brother Zilong?" ”

Liu Bei finally stopped advancing under the city, and explained with a face full of self-reproach: "It was the foolish brother who was negligent, half a month ago, I learned that Zilong had left the command of General Gongsun and rushed back to Changshan's hometown to guard filial piety for his brother who died of sudden illness......

"But. At that time, Yuan Shao in the south was already ready to move, and then General Gongsun's military order came, and the foolish brother had no choice but to temporarily postpone the plan to go to Changshan to ask Zilong to go out of the mountain to help conspire with the great cause, and he thought that he was guilty of dealing with General Gongsun with the snake, and then went to Changshan to see Zilong It was too late, I never expected Liu Zijian to take the lead, if we don't rush to Changshan quickly, I'm afraid there will be no chance. ”

Guan Yu was also anxious when he heard this, Changshan Zhao Zilong not only had superb martial arts. He is full of courage, and he is loyal and righteous, young and old. He is even more capable in cavalry training and operational command, and if he can pull Zhao Zilong over, he will definitely be able to quickly make up for the biggest weakness of his army, and his army's combat effectiveness will soon increase several times.

"Big brother, even if those six hundred horsemen are General Liu Zijian's men and horses, they don't necessarily go for Zilong, right? What's more, as the commander of an army with more than 100,000 troops, he should not be in such a dangerous place at such a critical juncture! Zhang Fei still couldn't believe it.

Before Liu Bei could speak, Guan Yu had already lowered his face: "Third brother, have you forgotten that now the world-renowned Qingzhou Army generals Xu Sheng, Tai Shici, Fu Min, Zhang He, etc., which one was not recruited by General Liu Zijian when he was unknown?" Who is a hero in the world who is not amazed by General Liu Zijian's discernment? ”

"In my opinion, Zilong's conduct and talent are definitely not under the group of generals of the Qingzhou Army who are now known all over the world, how can General Liu Zijian, who has always been a rare man in a hundred years, let go of General Liu Zijian, who has always been the only one who loves his life?"

Zhang Fei no longer doubted: "Then let's go, we met Brother Zilong a few years ago, how can we let Liu Zijian snatch love?" Let's go! ”

"Third brother, you stay and defend the city, Yun Chang and I can just go, now it's a very critical moment, and the three of us brothers can't all leave." Liu Bei made arrangements decisively.

"This ...... Well, alas! ”

######

The sun fell in the west, and Changshan City, which was panicked because of the fear of war, closed the city gate early, but the sudden arrival of Liu Cun and his party still made the city guards panic, and after shouting, they hurriedly sounded the drum of the alarm, and the quiet town suddenly boiled, and thousands of officers and soldiers and young men with pale faces and frightened faces immediately took up arms and rushed to the city wall.

Unexpectedly, the sudden arrival of 600 cavalry had already swept past the closed north gate, and rushed westward without slowing down, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only the dust still rising and filling, and the thousands of soldiers and civilians on the city head were dumbfounded.

After the six hundred cavalry ran out for five miles, Liu Cun, who was in front of the team, raised his arm, and the whole team slowed down slowly, and finally stopped in front of a small stone bridge, silently staring at the quiet village bathed in the sunset ahead.

In less than a quarter of an hour, several elderly and young people in the village gathered around Zhao Yun, who was dressed in a vegetarian body, Liu Cun, who had already washed the dust on his face, smiled slightly, strode onto the small stone bridge, and greeted Zhao Yun with a shocked face: "Liu Cun came unexpectedly, and I implore Zilong to lead me to Brother Zhao's tomb and worship one or two!" ”

"I don't know ...... the general is coming"

Zhao Yun, who came to his senses, was grateful and hurriedly bowed.

Liu Cun picked up Zhao Yun and saluted respectfully to a group of stunned old and young men in front of him, and the astute Lu Jiu and several captains had already stepped forward with gifts in their hands.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun didn't say much, bent down, respectfully saluted Liu Cunshen, and then turned to Geng Wu and Min Chun, the former Jizhou governors who followed behind Liu Cun, thanked him and saluted deeply again.

Geng Wu and Min Chun didn't know the little-known Zhao Yun before, but it didn't prevent the two of them from coming forward to whisper to Zhao Yun with concern to express their condolences.

At night, 500 guards quietly surrounded the entire village, and under the beautiful hill in the west of the village, there were already torches and cigarette smoke.

Liu Cun and the others, who had already completed the sacrificial ceremony, moved to the big tree more than ten steps in front of the side of the tomb to drink tea and talk at the respectful invitation of Zhao Yun and a group of family members.

After listening to Zhao Yun's account of the process before and after leaving Gongsun Zhan, Geng Wu, Min Chun and Lu Jiu were all embarrassed, no one thought that Gongsun Chan would despise the young handsome talent in front of him who was called a hundred years old by the lord Liu Cun.

Liu Cun, who had a solemn face, tightened the filial piety belt around his waist, looked at Zhao Yun's eyes, and said sincerely: "A few years ago, I was silently paying attention to your Zhao brothers, surprised by the outstanding talents of your two brothers, and even more admired your brother's noble sentiments of caring for the world and compassion for the people. ”

"Helplessly, both of your brothers are serving under General Gongsun, and I can only suppress my eagerness and wait until now. Don't hide it Zilong, General Lu Jiu under my command has been in close contact with Brother Ling for several years, and Brother Ling is also disgusted with the corruption and selfishness of Youzhou officialdom, and plans to resign from Youzhou after I enter Jizhou, and come to Jizhou to work together, but God is jealous of the talent......"

"Zilong, I won't say polite words, I just want to implore you not to stick to etiquette, and after comforting my brother in the Heavenly Heroic Spirit, he will end the Jizhou war with me as soon as possible, and then lead 100,000 brothers loyal to the Han to quickly march westward, rescue the Holy Lord and the Chinese military officials from the sea of suffering, return the capital to Luoyang, and order the world to end this war-torn and chaotic world."

"I am sure that you have this ability, and you have the noble qualities that move me, and with your help, the people of the Han Dynasty will suffer less suffering."

"General......

Zhao Yun stood up slowly, only to feel that his heart was surging and his blood was surging, and he couldn't say a word for a while. After a long time, he fell to the ground and said tremblingly:

"Meet the Lord......"
