(PS: It's almost the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass.) Zhao Yun actually had every hope of arriving at the Wuchao battlefield earlier, and it was even possible that the unlucky Zhang Jie would arrive at the Wuchao battlefield earlier, but for some special reasons, it dragged Zhao Yun's team from rushing to the Wuchao rescue, and failed to arrive at the Wuchao in time at the most critical moment, and lost the best opportunity to turn the tide, and these special reasons actually came from within Yuan Shaojun!

The cause of these special circumstances also starts from the Qingzhou War of that year, when Tao Yuan and Cao's three armies besieged Qingzhou Tian Kaikong Rang Pear, Zhao Yun, who was once a rebel general of Yuan Shao's army and could not be reused in Gongsun Zhan's army, suddenly shined, charged into battle and was unstoppable, and made great achievements in the battle of capturing the flag, and also rescued Tian Kai who was in a desperate situation in the army of ten thousand horses twice, and once shot more than 20 Yuan army generals in a breakthrough, killing the Yuan army was frightened and frightened. Gao Lan, known as one of the four generals in Hebei, fled in front of Zhao Yun, and did not dare to fight with Zhao Yun at all, which also made the third prince of Yuan hate Zhao Yun to the core, but he also regretted it, regretting that he had no eyes before, and he didn't know the generals and cheapened his rival Gongsun Zan in vain.

Everyone knows what happened later, because Da Yuan Sangong threatened to cut Zhao Yun with a thousand knives, and knew that Zhao Yun and Uncle Liu Huang had already been deeply rooted, and Deputy Director Tao, who also coveted Zhao Zilong, could only save the country by curves, while designing a wedge between Zhao Yun and Uncle Liu Huang, while arousing the love of Da Yuan Sangong, and temporarily saving Zhao Yun's surname. After the successful result, Da Yuan Sangong harvested Zhao Yun's people, and Deputy Director Tao successfully harvested Zhao Yun's heart - at least Zhao Yun's gratitude.

Things have just begun, after Zhao Yun, who was in the limelight in the Qingzhou War, returned to the account of the Great Yuan Sangong, not only did the Great Yuan Sangong cash in the account of the Shaolin abbot Luo who was in the 80s, but Yuan Tangongzi, who was serving as the governor of Qingzhou at that time, was the first to get the moon near the water, and also preemptively asked Zhao Yun to attach himself to support himself on the throne of Yuan's sister-in-law, and promised that after the matter was completed, Zhao Yun would be more reused, fame, wealth, money and beauty, what do you want.

Of course, Yuan Tan Gongzi did this to find the wrong person, if Zhao Yun would accept Yuan Tan Gongzi's wooing, then he would not be called Zhao Zilong, so Zhao Yun not only rejected Yuan Tan Gongzi's encirclement, but also repeatedly admonished Yuan Tan Gongzi's henchmen for their rampant illegal behavior in Qingzhou, which aroused Yuan Tan Gongzi's great dissatisfaction, and because he came forward to stop Yuan Tan's dead party Lu Kuang from robbing people's daughters as slaves, the Lu family brothers were greatly angered, making Yuan Tan Gongzi, the backer of the Lu family brothers, even more angry, and disgusted with Zhao Yun. also deliberately did not bring Zhao Yun to Langya to give Zhao Yun the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

In this way, if it weren't for Zhao Yun's polite refusal to Yuan Shanggongzi's entrapment, Zhao Yun, who may be almost rootless in Yuan Shao's army, would have died in the Yuan army's party struggle, but even if he maintained such a neutral attitude, Zhao Yun, who was absolutely not under Tian Feng and frustration, was still very unpopular in the Jizhou army, and his subordinates complained that Zhao Yun was too strict and could not be as casual and free as a friendly army, and his colleagues were tired of Zhao Yun's old-fashioned surname, he didn't know how to be flexible, he was too tired to deal with, and he was outstanding in martial arts to overwhelm others. Like the catfish effect, he was vigilant and isolated by his colleagues, hated by Yuan Tan Gongzi's party, and also respected by Yuan Shanggongzi's party, and had almost no friends in the Jizhou army, but there were a lot of opponents.

I don't know if it's the misfortune of Da Yuan Sangong or Zhao Yun's misfortune, these contradictions that have been accumulated in ordinary times happened to have a conflict on the night of the second day of the seventh month of the fourth year of Jian'an. After volunteering to lead the people of the headquarters to Wuchao to prevent accidents, Zhao Yun immediately returned to his camp to assemble the team, but the team had just been assembled and was about to give the order to set off to go to Wuchao, when Lu Kuang, a confidant of Yuan Tan Gongzi who was also stationed in the main camp of Yuan Shaojun's army, suddenly came, and brought a team of men and horses to block Zhao Yun's way, and asked with a face: "Zhao Yun, you gathered the team in the middle of the night, what do you want?" Can there be an arrow from the lord? ”

Of course, Zhao Yun did not have the order of the Great Yuan Sangong to send troops, and the sudden gathering of troops and horses in the middle of the night was indeed very confusing, so Zhao Yun had no choice but to explain in a low voice the reason for his assembling of the team, indicating that there was a cavalry of his own who did not know the truth and suddenly rushed to the direction of Wuchao by night, and he and Fu Yu decided to send troops to Wuchao to check the situation in order to prevent it. Who knew that Lu Kuang was not worried but happy after hearing this, and deliberately shouted angrily: "Bold! If you can't supervise the army, what military power does you have to transfer the Chinese army? Thou art an infantry captain under the direct jurisdiction of the lord, and you are not allowed to send troops without an order from the lord! ”

"General Lu, the military situation is like fire, for the safety and survival of our army's granary, Yun must be good at making a proposition once, if the lord is to blame, Yun alone bears it, and it has nothing to do with the general."

Zhao Yun patiently explained again, but Lu Kuang was determined to take revenge on Zhao Yun for taking revenge on the slaves, saying that Zhao Yun was not allowed to send troops at all, and ordered his team to stop Zhao Yun's team, and asked Zhao Yun's soldiers to return to their tents immediately to rest, otherwise they would all be engaged in military law. Zhao Yun had no choice but to send someone to ask Fu Zhu to explain here, and when Fu Zhu hurriedly came to the scene, the soldiers sent by Fu Zhu to contact Wang Mo Biezhai also returned to the camp, and reported that the mysterious cavalry was the team of Yuan Shaojun's grain officer Yue Cai Sima Han Meng, and went to Wuchao to protect grain on the order of Yuan Sangong.

"Han Meng's team?" Fu Zhu and Zhao Yun's faces turned pale all of a sudden, because when Fu Zhu and Zhao Yun went to the Chinese army's tent before, they saw with their own eyes that this Han Meng was in the banquet hall - he was blushing and holding the little hand of a military dancer and saying some obscene words!

Basically confirmed that the cavalry was the enemy pretending, Fu Zhu and Zhao Yun did not dare to slack off, and at that moment, Fu Zhu ordered Lu Kuang to give way as a supervisor, and asked Zhao Yun to lead the army to the rescue of Wuchao, and hurriedly returned to the camp of the Chinese army to report to the police of Yuan Sangong, and Lu Kuang, who knew that he might have caused a big disaster, did not think about making any meritorious contributions at all, but hurried to Yuan Tan Gongzi's camp to report the news and discuss countermeasures with Yuan Tan Gongzi.

Zhao Yun's trouble is not over yet, it is already extremely difficult to chase the four-legged enemy with 5,000 infantry, and it is necessary to pass through the defense area of the four self-army villages without the arrows of the Great Yuan Sangong, the defense area of the first village is better, although Wang Mo, the captain of Yuan Junyue's cavalry, has no friendship with Zhao Yun, but he also has no grudges, and after listening to Zhao Yun's explanation, he immediately waved his hand and let go, but the second village will not work, because the person guarding the second village is none other than the younger brother of General Lu Kuang- Yuan Jun shot Sima Lu Xiang!

The next situation will not be described in detail, the enemy is very red when they meet, because Zhao Yun did not send troops to order arrows, General Lu Xiang also took the opportunity to announce personal vendettas, not only said that Zhao Yun's team was not allowed to pass through his own defense area, but also sent out to stop Zhao Yun's team, threatening not to let Zhao Yun's team pass without seeing the arrows of the three princes of Da Yuan, Zhao Yun was anxious, but helpless, and after such a delay twice, the hands of the clock also ruthlessly pointed to more than half of the four watches! -- At the same time in the Wuchao camp, Cao's army had already begun to set fire to it.

"Look, General, it looks like there's a fire in the north!"

In the exclamation of the soldiers, Zhao Yun quickly looked up at the north, and saw that the north was full of red light, and it seemed that a sky-high fire had ignited, Zhao Yun was even more anxious and angry, and the surname Suo pointed the silver gun in his hand at Lu Xiang, and shouted angrily: "Piff!" I ask you, will you give way? If you give way, the lord will blame, and I will bear it alone! If you don't let ......, hum! ”

Lu Xiang, who also found that the fire in the north was also shocked, but when things came to this point, Lu Xiang thought that his personal vendetta had been made a big mistake, and at this time, it would be difficult to escape the responsibility of forbearance in the future, it was better to resist to the end and fall into a reputation of loyalty, so Lu Xiang immediately raised his head and shouted: "If I don't see the arrows of the lord's order, I will never give way!" ”

"Piff, suffer death!" In the shouting, Zhao Yun, who couldn't bear it, rushed straight to Lu Xiang with his horse, and when Lu Xiang hurriedly raised his gun to parry, Zhao Yun, the first second killer of the Three Kingdoms era, had already been stabbed with a shot, and the incomparably accurate hit Lu Xiang's throat, and the silver spear passed through the throat, Lu Xiang didn't even have a chance to shout before he turned over and fell off the horse, and then Zhao Yun raised his gun and shouted at the soldiers under Lu Xiang: "Listen, the black nest has changed, Lu Xiang refuses to give way, I have been stabbed to death!" You can quickly return to the village to marquis, the lord asks for the crime, I alone have nothing to do with you, if you dare to follow Lu Xiang to stop you, Lu Xiang is your fate! ”

The unlucky ghost Lu Xiang's subordinates were very knowledgeable and interesting, seeing that Zhao Yun, who was in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, had already committed a crime, he did not dare to come up again to send him to death, so he honestly retreated to make way and let Zhao Yun lead the army through the self-military defense area, and then hurriedly sent someone to report to the Great Yuan Sangong naturally not to mention it.

If all the troops under his command are cavalry, then Zhao Yun will definitely have a chance to rush to the battlefield in time to rescue, but unfortunately the eyes of Yuan Sangong are there, and Zhao Yun's identity as a general is also there, so no matter how Zhao Yun urges the army to hurry, the speed of Zhao Yun's team, which is full of infantry, is still not fast, and he has a slight delay in the last two partial divisions of the fortress defense area, and then when Zhao Yun finally arrived at the Wuchao camp after dark, it was already late. It's still completely late.

It was indeed completely late, the entire Wuchao camp had turned into a sea of fire, and the Wuchao defenders had been driven out of the camp by the Cao army, Chun Yuqiong also fled to the front with a group of remnants of the defeated generals, and after colliding head-on with Zhao Yun's team, Chun Yuqiong, who was very close to Yuan Tan Gongzi, also yelled at Zhao Yun: "Zilong, why are you here now?" And if you arrive a few moments early? How can the Black Nest be burned?! ”

Zhao Yun didn't have time to explain to Chun Yuqiong the reason why he was late, and after probably inquiring about the situation in the Wuchao camp, Zhao Yun hurriedly suggested: "General Zhong Jian, since it was Cao Thief who led the team to attack Wuchao, then he ran for more than 70 miles overnight and fought so far, now his team must be sleepy and difficult to fight again, you and I might as well join forces and attack Cao Jun again, if you can capture Cao Thief or behead the Cao Army, then not only the general can atone for his crimes, but even if our army loses the Black Nest, it can still win a big victory!" ”

Chun Yuqiong, who was worried about how to transfer to Da Yuan San, was overjoyed when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Okay! But General Zilong, I fought hard all night yesterday, and I was already very tired, I don't know if the general can serve as ......? ”

"General Zhong Jian, please sweep the battle for the clouds!" Zhao Yun waved his gun without hesitation and agreed, taking the initiative to provoke the charge task, Chun Yuqiong was even more happy, and hurriedly organized the remnants of the defeated army, and as Zhao Yun's team returned to the black nest, he went to fight with the Cao army, who must have been exhausted.

The Cao army team is indeed exhausted, but the victory of the decisive battle of Guandu is already in sight, of course Cao Boss does not want to fall at the last moment before the victory, so when he found that Zhao Yun led the army to arrive, Cao Boss immediately organized more than 3,000 teams that could be organized, and killed down the mountain to engage Zhao Yun's team, and at the same time, in view of the fact that he had already learned Zhao Yun's martial arts before, Cao Boss gave Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and Le Jin the three generals a death task from the beginning, and shouted: "You and the other three, be sure to kill Zhao Yun alone, don't worry about Zhao Yun's generals." These infantrymen came all the way from Guandu, and they couldn't get there more easily than us. ”

The situation was once again expected by Boss Cao, after running on foot for more than 40 miles at night, Zhao Yun's team, which walked on two legs, was indeed tired enough, although Zhao Yun himself was brave and extraordinary, but from the beginning he was targeted by the three fierce generals of Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and Le Jin, and at first glance they were entangled by three fierce generals who were already covered in blood, and the exhausted but high-morale Cao army team took the opportunity to rush to kill under the personal leadership of Cao Boss, and started a bloody battle with Zhao Yun's team, and the Cao Boss, who was also covered in blood, kept shouting, "Life and death, in this battle!" Kill! Fight your way out! ”

"Kill!" Although the soldiers in Zhao Yun's team have a certain advantage in physical strength, they are completely overwhelmed by the Cao army in terms of momentum, and the Cao army has used the remaining flying muskets to set fire to the enemy, and the Zhao soldiers who have just heard of the flying muskets are inevitably even more panicked, and they are frightened and defeated by the remnants of the Cao army who fought desperately.

At this time, something that was enough to make Zhao Yun's chest burst happened, seeing that Zhao Yun's team was not in a good position, General Chun Yuqiong, who was still in a state of panic, not only did not step forward to help the battle, but also took the lead in leading the rear army to retreat south, which affected the morale of Zhao Yun's team, causing Zhao Yun's team to also show signs of defeat, and the signs were becoming more and more obvious.

Zhao Yun's side is not easy, Zhao Yun is brave again, and when he encounters Dian Wei, whose martial arts are almost the same as his own, it is difficult for Zhao Yun to win for a while, not to mention that there are two fierce generals next to Zhang Liao and Le Jin to help, and they are all desperate with Zhao Yun, and every move is the same trick to end up, even if Zhao Yun stabbed Le Jin two shots, and stabbed Zhang Liao once, Zhang and Le Er will still fight to the death, and continue to fight with Zhao Yun.

Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and Le Jin This is also a way to do no way, Cao Jun's physical strength has long been close to the critical point, if he can't defeat Zhao Yun at all his strength, then Zhao Yun can cut off Cao Boss's head even if he is alone, and subvert the world in one fell swoop. So no matter how tired and injured they were, the weapons of the three generals Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and Le Jin still desperately beckoned to Zhao Yun, even if they were shot hard, they had to smash their weapons on Zhao Yun.

With such a desperate strength of death and life, the Cao army team that was close to running out of physical strength finally created a miracle, and it only took more than a quarter of an hour to kill Zhao Yun's team, and the Cao army generals Shi Lian, Zhu Ling and Li Xu, who were free, also rushed to Zhao Yun's side, and beat Zhao Yun with all hands and feet, so that Zhao Yun gradually couldn't resist the enemy, and saw Chun Yuqiong take the lead in escaping, and the team he brought was also scattered, so he also sighed, and then stabbed Cao General Zhu Ling to death with a shot, and took the opportunity to rush out of the encirclement, The single horse fled to the southwest, and Zhao Yun had just left on the front foot, Dian Wei and Zhang Liao and other generals also fell off the war horse with cramps in their hands and feet, lying on the ground exhausted and laughing, and Le Jin, who was stabbed three times by Zhao Yun, simply cried loudly, glad that he had escaped death.

"Everyone, hurry up and change into the clothes and flags of the Yuan army." Boss Cao, who was also about to be paralyzed, issued an order, "Yuan Shao must still have reinforcements coming, and we have no strength to fight again, so we can only disguise the defeated soldiers of Chun Yuqiong and make a detour back to the camp." ”

The exhausted soldiers of the Cao army agreed one after another, and began to forcibly collect the dead bodies of the Yuan army to change their clothes, and the boss Cao scolded at the southeast of the retreat of the Junzi army, "Heaven damn Tao Ying annihilation thief, you cover our army for an extra hour, why should our army be embarrassed so much?" ”

Not to mention how the Cao army returned to the camp in disguise, just said that after Zhao Yun killed the Cao army alone, he quickly caught up with some of his own defeated soldiers and began to organize the defeated soldiers to prepare to fight again, but the soldiers of the Yuan army who were defeated in successive battles were courageous and depressed, and either refused to return to the team and fight again, or cried and said: "General, just let us go, we are just a group of foot soldiers, running for dozens of miles on an empty stomach and fighting hard so far, we have no strength at all, how can we beat the elite cavalry of Cao thieves?" ”

"Soldiers, I know you're tired, but the Cao thief's team is even more tired than us! As you saw just now, the Cao thief is just a desperate blow at the end of the crossbow, and if we go back and fight again, we will definitely be able to win a big victory and capture the Cao thief in one fell swoop! ”

Zhao Yun's analysis is very reasonable and realistic, but the soldiers of the Yuan army said that they would not turn back and fight again, Zhao Yun was furious and punished the cowardly generals with military law, but everyone scattered and fled for their lives and refused to return to Zhao Yun's side, Zhao Yun wanted to cry without tears, so he had to chase after Chun Yuqiong who fled at the front. However, although General Chun Yuqiong's fighting skills are unusual, his ability to escape is quite good, when Zhao Yun caught up with him, Chun Yuqiong had already fled back to the nearest Yuan Shaojun Zhang Jie's village, and had already taken over the command of Zhang Jie's village, who was killed by the main general.

Endured the anger in his stomach, Zhao Yun asked General Chun Yuqiong to send troops to cut off the retreat of the Cao army, but the frightened Chun Yuqiong had no intention of fighting again, saying that he would not want to lead the army to fight again, Zhao Yun had no choice but to ask Chun Yuqiong to borrow one or two thousand new troops to himself, and he led him to cut off the return route of the Cao army, but General Chun Yuqiong still refused, on the pretext that the Cao army still had a new force lurking nearby, and could not go out of the camp to take risks - it could not be regarded as an excuse, there was indeed such a new force.

Zhao Yun pleaded again and again, Chun Yuqiong shook his head and refused, Zhao Yun, who was only an infantry captain, was under the rank of Chun Yuqiong, the general of the supervising army, and had no right to forcibly transfer troops from Chun Yuqiong, so Zhao Yun had no choice but to leave the camp angrily, riding alone on the avenue, waiting for the next wave of reinforcements from the Third Duke of Yuan, and vowed that if the Cao army dared to pass through this road, even if he gave up his surname, he would also cut off the head of Boss Cao to repay the forgiveness of the Third Duke of Yuan.

Of course, poor Zhao Zilong couldn't wait for the Cao army, because he was afraid that he would be intercepted by Yuan Shaojun, Cao Lao Da had already taken a mountain road to detour back to the camp, and he was anxious and waited for nearly an hour, and a large group of Yuan Shaojun light cavalry finally ran on the official road in the south, Zhao Yun was overjoyed and hurriedly patted his horse to meet him, but saw that the commander of this light cavalry was Yuan Shaojun's generals Wen Chou and Han Meng, not Zhao Yun's imagination of Yuan Sangong personally led the troops. But Zhao Yun couldn't care so much, he just hurriedly introduced the general situation of Wuchao to Wen Chou and Han Meng, and Wen Chou, Han Meng and others did not dare to slack off, and quickly led soldiers and horses to Wuchao to intercept.

"General Wen, General Han, Yun is willing to go with the two generals." Zhao Yun hurriedly asked for an order.

"No need, you go back to the camp and ask the lord for guilt." Wen Chou snorted coldly - by the way, Zhao Yun's first battle of debut was to destroy Wen Chou's good thing of capturing Gongsun Zan in the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, so General Wen Chou naturally did not have a good face towards Zhao Yun. After that, Wen Chou raised his gun and waved, and the army roared past Zhao Yun's side, Zhao Yun sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to go up the current single-handedly, through the flow of Wen Chou's soldiers, and returned to the main camp to ask for the guilt of the Great Yuan Sangong.

Because there is no need to hurry, Zhao Yunsuo, who is also tired and hungry and thirsty, let go of the reins and ride his horse, riding slowly back to the camp, lonely to the extreme, and depressed to the extreme, the churning in his mind is also full of scenes of the past, thinking of Gongsun Zhan, thinking of Uncle Liu Huang, and involuntarily remembering the few two meetings with Deputy Director Tao, one was under the city of Xuzhou where Deputy Director Tao jumped the oil pot, and the other was when Deputy Director Tao went to Linzi City alone to persuade him to surrender.

"Why do you want to do so much? Tao Yuanjun is benevolent, righteous and loves the people, are you and him always fated and unrelated? ”

After smiling bitterly and blaming himself, Zhao Yun shook his head, tried to keep those thoughts in his mind, and began to urge the horse to hurry back to the camp to meet with the third prince of Yuan to ask for guilt. However, when he had just crossed Wang Mobie Village and just saw the banner of Yuan Shaojun's main camp, he was greeted by a person who rushed to him and shouted Zhao Yun's name from afar.

"General Zilong, why did you come back here alone?" After meeting him, he asked, and then without waiting for Zhao Yun to explain, he quickly stuffed an envelope into Zhao Yun's hand, and said in a low voice: "General Zilong, my master gave you the first life villain, my master said, please act according to what the letter says, don't make a mistake!" The surname is at stake, please don't hesitate to general! ”

"Lives matter?"

Zhao Yun hurriedly took the envelope and opened it, and when he took out the letterhead and looked at it, Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, it turned out that he had written such a line on the letter - go quickly, Yuan Tan, Guo Tu, Chun Yuqiong and others have pushed the first sin of the black nest on your head, and you will die if you return to the camp! You can only get away!
