Chapter 30: Taking advantage of Yuan Shao's illness to ask Yuan Shao for his life
Zhao Xue broke into Gongsun Zhan's camp late at night last time, just to see his brother Zhao Yun, it has been a long time since this matter was spoken, and I thought that with the loss of time, this matter should also be indifferent. However, after hearing some news, Gongsun Chan withdrew from everyone, leaving Zhao Yun alone, and suddenly asked about this matter. Although it was abrupt, Zhao Yun also thought of it all of a sudden, or when Gongsun Chan retreated from the crowd, he felt that something had already happened to the 'East Window Incident', so once Gongsun Chan asked, he didn't show any panic.
After listening to Gongsun Zhan's questioning, Zhao Yun still stood as usual, without any sense of crampedness. Gongsun Zhan saw that he asked in one sentence, and Zhao Yun seemed to be dumb when he was asked, so he didn't speak for a while, and he was also angry in his heart, and secretly laughed that there was really such a thing, so it was up to Zhao Yun to explain it to him.
"Why, are you speechless? Or did you admit it yourself? ”
Gongsun Zhan's voice was originally loud, but at this time he deliberately lowered it, but it seemed dull, and the sound of the urn sounded very uncomfortable. I thought that Zhao Yun was dumb now, and I didn't want Zhao Yun to raise his face quietly, stared at Gongsun Zhan's eyes carefully, and said word by word: "General Gongsun said that the thieves robbed the camp to find the last general, and the last general didn't answer for a while, it's not that the last general has nothing to say, or admit anything." It's just that the last general is thinking, the thief robbed the camp, and he specially came to find the last general, the last general really doesn't understand, why would the thief do this? Of course, if there is such a thing, from the point of view of the last general, it is nothing more than a point, maybe they came to find the last general, just because during the first battle of Fuyang, the last general suddenly broke out and took General Gongsun away from them, so they ......"
When Gongsun Chan heard this, his old face turned red. In the first battle of Fuyang, the first half of the game was very beautiful, and Yuan Shao was driven out of Fuyang City, but on the way to pursue, he accidentally encountered Chen Nuo, and in the end, not only failed to block Chen Nuo, but also almost captured him alive for Chen Nuo's side guard Dian Wei. This battle was a great humiliation for Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan was the most reluctant to mention it. At this time, Zhao Yun suddenly said, how can he hang on his old face? Of course, for the thief coming to Zhao Yun that night, it was also a matter of chasing after the wind, so he just asked casually, but now he has exposed his 'ugly thing' because of this matter, Gongsun Chan is naturally extremely embarrassed. Zhao Yun didn't say anything, he was saving face for him, of course he understood. And as far as Zhao Yun's first half of the sentence is concerned, he can also understand that what he means is nothing more than that the reason why the thieves came to him specially was because Zhao Yun 'showed his face' at that time and rescued him from them, which made the thieves very unhappy, so he went out of the camp that night to point the finger at Zhao Yun and wanted to trouble Zhao Yun. Although this possibility is really reluctant enough, it is not impossible, so it can be regarded as the past, and Gongsun Chan can only understand it this way.
Of course, at this time, Gongsun Zan categorically would not have thought that Zhao Xue came to Zhao Yun, it was his sister looking for his brother, and it was not the reason that Zhao Yun said. And the reason why Gongsun Chan did not continue to pursue it was probably because with his understanding, Zhao Yun's explanation was completely reasonable. He saw that Zhao Yun stopped the words in time, and his heart was also relieved, so he nodded awkwardly and said: "It's also possible to say this, I think that the thief doesn't know the general, and it is really unreasonable to suddenly venture to find the general." The reason why they rushed into my camp is probably the reason why you said it is the general, right? Let's leave this matter aside for the time being, but I still have one more question, which was also in the evening, I want to ask you, when the thieves suddenly came out, and our Chinese army caught fire, where are you, general, did you go out to rescue the fire? ”
Speaking of the fire of the Chinese army, it is actually Zhao Yun's masterpiece. Of course, in the face of Gongsun Zhan's attack, he Zhao Yun still tried to maintain his composure, without a trace of panic, he glanced at Gongsun Zhan, and shook his head at Gongsun Zhan without hesitation, and said: "When there is a fire, the last general is still in the tent." ”
Zhao Yun didn't have a flaw in what he said, you know, although the Chinese army was on fire, if you move around at will without Gongsun Zhan's order, you will inevitably be suspected of 'robbing while the fire is on', so Zhao Yun's answer is that there is no flaw, even Gongsun Chan had to sigh in his heart, but he said: "General Zhao, if you answer like this, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?" Our army is on fire, and you don't come out to put out the fire, but what are you doing in your own account? ”
Faced with Gongsun Zhan's questioning, Zhao Yun still replied unhurriedly: "Although the Chinese army is on fire, as a scout, I naturally can't move around at will without your order from the general; Therefore, when the Chinese army caught fire, the last general was still in the place where the left camp was, staying in his own account, and I don't know what the crime was? ”
Zhao Yun has said everything to this point, and Gongsun Zhan is not easy to make things difficult for him anymore, so Fang Cai smiled and nodded to him: "I can't imagine that you also know these General Zhao, it's rare!" General Zhao, you are right, without General Ben's strict order, if you move around at will when the fire breaks out, how will General Ben know if you are really fighting the fire, or if you want to take advantage of the fire to rob? However, General Zhao, you said that you are in this account, but you have always been there? Still is...... Just for a moment? How did I hear that at night, General Zhao, you extinguished the fire, but after the thieves withdrew, they lost their traces, and they were not in this account, can you tell General Ben, what is going on? ”
These pieces of information were all reported to Gongsun Chan below, and it was Gongsun Chan who asked Zhao Yun questions one after another. And Zhao Yun, who was as thoughtful as Zhao Yun, naturally made ingenious arrangements before leaving the camp, although Gongsun Chan reprimanded, he still did not show a trace of uneasiness. Hearing Gongsun Zhan's question, Zhao Yun still replied to Gongsun Chan quietly: "The Chinese army caught fire, and a lot of horses were taken away. ”
This sentence is true, although it was a fire in the Chinese army that night, it almost extended to the left camp where Zhao Yun was, and scared away a lot of horses, this incident should have been 'witnessed' by many people, so Zhao Yun's answer was completely flawless. However, if you want to say that this fire was all lit by Zhao Yun, did the frightened horses really 'go' by themselves, it seems that only Zhao Yun knows about it. And Zhao Yun took this opportunity to go out of the camp. Of course, when Zhao Yun secretly saw Zhao Xue come back, he not only brought back the horses he had put outside, but also found some of the horses that were scared away, so this matter passed like this, and no one doubted it. However, Zhao Yun left for such a long time, which was quite unusual in the eyes of the 'investigators' afterwards, so he also reported to Gongsun Zhan's side.
Gongsun Chan challenged Zhao Yun three times in succession, but was blocked by Zhao Yun every time, and he was naturally unhappy. At that moment, he found someone to come in again and asked him about the fire and the lost horses that night, but the man did not hide it, nodded to Gongsun Zhan, and confirmed the matter. When Gongsun Zhan heard this, Fang Cai's old face turned red, and it seemed that he would not be able to stump Zhao Yun today. However, to say that because every question was answered by Zhao Yun personally, and there was no flaw to be found, it didn't seem to be the same thing for him to let Zhao Yun go like this. If he had the intention of putting Zhao Yun by his side as a bodyguard a moment ago, but at this moment, all his thoughts were wiped out.
In his opinion, although Zhao Yun explained all these 'doubts' one by one, his nature still made him unable to fully believe it, and he always felt that something was wrong. Of course, it's one thing to not be able to ask, and it's another thing to believe or not, so the little thought just now is also broken because the heart can't be completely relieved. After getting Zhao Yun's answer, since he didn't have more evidence to prove that Zhao Yun was lying to him for a while, and he couldn't use it with confidence, he could only pretend to be satisfied with Zhao Yun's answer, and didn't have more words to appease him, just nodded to him and let him go down first.
On his side, his brows condensed, and he secretly thought: "Zhao Yun is a little-known boy, even if the thieves rescued me because they were angry, they only came into the camp, but how did they know Zhao Yun's name?" And who told him? Maybe...... Zhao Yun, what did he hide from me about this matter? Hmph, this kid doesn't think he's clever and wants to fool me, right? If I had believed him so easily, wouldn't I have made him look down on me? ”
Gongsun Chan secretly thought of this, squeezed his fist, pressed his thumb on his index finger, and made a snapping sound. As soon as his eyes rolled, he was about to order someone below to arrange for someone to monitor Zhao Yun. However, at this moment, a spy rushed in from outside the hall, bowed his hand to Gongsun Zhan, and then whispered a few words in Gongsun Zhan's ear. When Gongsun Chan heard this, the old man's face turned red, and the happy light in his eyes could no longer be hidden, so he couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Is there really such a thing?" ”
The spy nodded to Gongsun Chan again and again, and added a few words in his ear. After Gongsun Zhan was convinced, Fang Cai nodded with a red face, pondered for a moment, waved his hand to let him go down, and told him to continue to spy on the movements of Nanpi City. Yuan Shao arranged for Lu Weihuang to prepare for a surprise defeat of Gongsun Zhan, and finally did not want to kill Lu Weihuang because of the appearance of a Zhao Yun, so Yuan Shao's plan was shattered. Seeing such a situation, Yuan Shao was really unwilling, and even vomited blood in battle and returned to Nanpi City. Gongsun Zan naturally didn't know about this matter before the spies came, and he thought that Yuan Shao suddenly withdrew from the army, just because of a Lu Weihuang, and he didn't want to involve Yuan Shao vomiting blood and fainting in the past. Once this news was known by Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Chan was naturally overjoyed, and Yuan Shao did not show up after the first battle outside Nanpi City, and he dared to love because of this.
Gongsun Zhan thought left and right, since Yuan Shao vomited blood and fainted, and he never came out, maybe it was a serious illness, and he could take advantage of Yuan Shao's illness to kill Yuan Shao, so he immediately summoned his subordinates and others to discuss another attack on Nanpi City.
