Chapter 11: The Trail
After Gongsun Xu walked out of the Chinese army's tent with his head held high, he was actually surprised to see that not only Gongsun and their personal guards, but also Zhao Yun, who he had been worried about, was actually standing quietly not far away.
Gongsun Xu's heart was suddenly ecstatic, and he even had a feeling that he couldn't find the north. However, the next moment, Gongsun Xu suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and returned to his usual feeling of calmness.
Gongsun Da and Qi Ming came over and asked, a few of them were afraid that General Gongsun would be dissatisfied with the young master.
This time, they also saw that Gongsun Chan was not interested in the young master's actions.
Gongsun Xu saw the expressions of Gongsun and the others, he smiled and said: "What are you worried about, the general is strategizing, and he can still be troubled by some trivial things, this time he called me over, mainly to let me deal with the problem of these prisoners, so don't speculate." ”
After Gongsun Xu was called over by Gongsun Chan this time, he finally got his wish and had an in-depth exchange with Gongsun Chan, and the final result was very satisfactory to Gongsun Zhan.
After Gongsun Xu eliminated the worries of the guards around him, he flashed Gongsun Da and Qi Ming, took two big steps forward, and said to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao specially came to visit the kid, the kid is very honored, if General Zhao has nothing to do, can you go to the Xiaoke camp to talk about it." ”
Gongsun Xu was worried about how he could contact Zhao Yun! I saw that Zhao Yun sent it to the door by himself.
But what! Gongsun Xu knew in his heart that the matter of recruiting Zhao Yun must not be rushed, if he was in a hurry, he would lose more than he gained.
Zhao Yun: Who is that?!!
He was a famous general among the Three Kingdoms.
If it weren't for Zhao Yun's humble background and his noble background, Zhao Yun would definitely occupy a pivotal position in the history of the Three Kingdoms, even the legendary Second Master Guan would not be able to compare with Zhao Yun.
Gongsun Xu had a lot of experience in watching the Three Kingdoms in later generations, and he remembered very well in his heart, one Lu, two Zhao, three Dian Wei, four passes, five horses, six Zhang Fei, seven Xu, eight Xia, and nine Jiang Wei.
The later seven ** have quite a lot of rhetoric in later generations, and there are many kinds of theories, but the first three are not controversial.
From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, the most bullish military general should be Lu Bu, followed by Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.
It's just that at this time, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu have not yet made their debut, and they have not yet become famous generals in the world.
Seeing that Zhao Yun did not agree or object, Gongsun Xu immediately stepped forward and whispered: "General Zhao, about the matter of prisoners of war, the kid has something to ask you for, and I hope that General Zhao will give him advice." ”
Gongsun Xu knew in his heart why Zhao Yun was interested in him, mainly because of those captives.
If you want to have more contact with Zhao Yun, you must do what you like, and talking to this kind of upright and intelligent person around the bush has no benefit except that you will be looked down upon.
Under Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, the lieutenants and generals above Qu Chang, Zhao Yun and Gongsun Yue did not agree to kill prisoners, and the rest of them were eager to use killing prisoners to get more rewards to get promoted and make a fortune!
Gongsun Yue was his uncle, and he was loyal to Gongsun Zhan, and he did not agree to kill the prisoners for the sake of the reputation of the Gongsun family.
However, Zhao Yun's disagreement with the killing of prisoners is admirable, and he can show that Zhao Yun is iron-clad, not moved by any petty profits, and will not disregard people's lives for the sake of merit and promotion.
In Zhao Yun's eyes, these people used to be soldiers of the Han Dynasty, they were nothing more than bewitched, and they were not guilty of death at all, and it was slightly unfair to treat them with such a kind of killing prisoners.
This time, Gongsun Xu was very dissatisfied because he dissuaded Gongsun Chan from killing prisoners, and Zhao Yun was also a little concerned about Gongsun Xu's summoning to the Chinese army's big tent, and he was very interested in this little guy who didn't look very old.
After Gongsun Xu saw Zhao Yun nodding, he immediately took a small step back, just half a body shorter than Zhao Yun, revealing Zhao Yun, and showing his respect for Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was slightly stunned, then smiled, didn't say anything to Gongsun Xu, and strode forward.
Gongsun Da and a few of them didn't have much emotion about the young master's invitation to Zhao Yun to the camp tent, after all, for them, the young master was much stronger than Zhao Yun, and a lieutenant like Zhao Yun couldn't control their young master's guards.
They were more interested in how their young master could be sure that there would be heavy rain at noon on such a sunny day.
They are most curious about this kind of thing, and they have a gossip heart, and if many lords tell them, their hearts will definitely feel like something is scratching their hearts and livers.
Walking on the road, Gongsun Da and Qi Ming finally couldn't hold back and asked the questions in their hearts.
Gongsun stabbed Qi Ming and winked at Qi Ming, instigating Qi Ming to ask Gongsun Xu what was going on.
Qi Ming asked with a confused look on his face: "Young Master, yesterday we heard that you put forward a few reasons why you couldn't kill prisoners to the general, and we were able to understand the first two reasons in ignorance, but in the end, we really didn't understand the night observation of the sky that you said. We've been following you for so long, but we've never seen you come out in the middle of the night to watch the sky! ”
Gongsun Da was actually more curious than Qi Ming in his heart, he had been on duty outside Gongsun Xu's big tent last night, where did he see Gongsun Xu come out to watch the sky!
The more he didn't see Gongsun continue to observe the celestial phenomena, the more he wanted to know in his heart what kind of way his master was sure that there would be heavy rain at noon today.
You must know that when they were in the middle of the day, they had all lost confidence in Gongsun Xu.
If it weren't for Tian Ying's aggressiveness to lead Gongsun Xu and Tian Ying to make a bet, they really didn't believe that Gongsun Xu could win Tian Ying, and they really didn't believe that the weather would change abruptly, and dark clouds would appear immediately, and it would rain heavily at noon.
At noon, the god of heavy rain from the sky reversed, so that Gongsun Da and Gongsun Xu had a great convincing heart, and they wanted to know whether this thing was caused by Gongsun Xumeng, or if he really had that kind of magical ability to defy the sky.
Gongsun continued to think that he had already explained this matter to his father in the camp, and it would not be long before this kind of thing would spread, and it would be good to satisfy the curiosity of these people around him at this time, which would be more able to buy people's hearts.
Gongsun Xu's mind moved slightly, and he spoke more modestly: "A little bit of small talk is not enough to worry about. Remembering that you are my companions, and that you are born and die with me, I will tell you about it.
After all, these things will be of great help to you in your future marches and battles. In the future, if you do well, you will all become a one-sided general. ”
Gongsun Xu not only played the family card at this time, but also vaguely pointed out, as long as you do well with me in the future, I will definitely promote you all.
Gongsun Xu saw that the faces of Gongsun Da and all the relatives and guards around him were solemn, without any noisy sound, he cleared his throat slightly, and said very powerfully: "Bee, you all know what it is!"
It is a very industrious and gregarious insect, on a sunny day, the flowers secrete a lot of sweet juice, exude bursts of fragrance, and have an irresistible temptation to bees, so there is a saying that "bees do not go out, and the wind and rain are as fast as a shuttle".
There's this small beehive in front of my tent. Under normal circumstances, bees would fly out to collect honey, but this morning the bees in this hive have no idea of coming out.
Also, usually before the rain, dragonflies fly very low, because the air humidity at this time is quite high, and when dragonflies encounter humid air when flying, their wings become moist, and they can't fly high, so they can only fly at low altitudes.
The most important thing is that you don't see that the rocks on the mountain are already wet, which means that the humidity in the air is increasing, and the heavier the sweating of the stones, the more rain will be.
The bees don't come out to collect honey, and the dragonflies fly around, and they fly very low, and the stones are wet and sweaty, so it can be said that there are ten ** heavy rains.
Before making a bet with Tian Ying, I even saw a prisoner of war catching ants on a small tree next to me to eat. If it weren't for the rain, the ants wouldn't have climbed the trees in swarms, so I'm sure there will be heavy rain before noon today.
These are of some use in marching and fighting, and I hope that you will remember what I have said today, and it will be of great help to your future growth.
No matter what time it is, these are all small trails, and they are also trivial, and the most important thing is to be careful.
Only by using your brain and heart will you discover something that others can't discover.
If you want to say that you have come to a conclusion based on these observations, and rest on you, do you believe it? ”
While talking to Gongsun Da's personal soldiers, Gongsun Xu peeked at Zhao Yun, and saw Zhao Yun with a thoughtful expression, and his heart suddenly felt happy.
Gongsun Xu didn't have the idea of showing off in front of Zhao Yun, but what! Since Zhao Yun sent it to the door to listen to his fooling, how could he let Zhao Yun go.
If you can get Zhao Yun's good impression imperceptibly, it will definitely have an immeasurable effect on abducting Zhao Yun from her father in the future.
Zhao Yun is not very human, and it is impossible to impress Zhao Yun with things like the interests of ordinary people. Only by convincing Zhao Yun can it be possible to obtain Zhao Yun's allegiance.
