Chapter 537: Scoundrel
The siege troops retreated, and the corpses piled up up and down the city, and the Cao army, who had fought a bloody battle, was frightened and sat down in the bloody water.
Yan Xing rode his horse to Zhang Lang and asked anxiously, "General, you are about to take the attack, why did you order the attack to be stopped?" Zhang Lang said: "I just received a report from the scouts that Zhao Yun led 60,000 border troops under his command to come nearby. Yan Xing was stunned. Zhang Lang said to the generals: "The Wuxi barbarian army continues to force the defenders in the city under the city, and the Long Tao army will go with me to meet the battle. He immediately led 70,000 or 80,000 Long Tao's army to the northwest, while the barbarian army and siege equipment were still under the city.
Cao Xiu stood on the city wall, saw Long Tao's army running in the northwest direction, and hurriedly looked up at the northwest direction, only to see the skyline, the dust was stirring, and it was obvious that a large group of people were coming. Cao Xiu was immediately overjoyed and said excitedly: "It must be General Zilong who is here!" He turned his head and said to his generals: "Immediately inform the officers and soldiers of all armies, and say that General Zilong will lead an army of 100,000 to come to support!" Several generals excitedly agreed and ran down.
Cao Xiu looked away from the wall, and the expression on his face was much more relaxed than before.
Zhang Lang led Long Tao's army to intercept Zhao Yun, and the two sides fought across a small stream. The Long Tao army took the infantry army and armored heavy cavalry as the main formation of the Chinese army, and the assault cavalry lived on the two wings, with the banner rolling and the momentum like a mountain; Zhao Yunjun confronted each other across the river, the infantry army was cold, and the cavalry was fierce.
Zhang Lang rode his horse to the stream and shouted, "Zilong! ”
Zhao Yun of the Silver Family's White Horse immediately rushed out of the military formation, came to the other side of the stream, hugged his fists and said, "General, don't come unharmed?" ”
Zhang Lang smiled: "Thank you Zilong for remembering." I am very relieved to see Zilong's demeanor as before! Then he said with some emotion: "Originally, I thought that Zilong would fight with me across the world for the people, but Zilong followed Liu Bei, and now he follows the Cao family!" Zilong, can you sue me, why don't you want to fight with me? ”
Zhao Yun said: "In the next puppet, but the general is worried, I am really ashamed." Zhao Yun is not talented, he just wants to clarify the world and reopen the territory and expand the territory, and he is unwilling to help the people to abuse the people! ”
Zhang Lang said with a smile: "Zilong has scourged me as a villain of the people. Zilong has been to my rule more than once, and he should be able to see how the people under my rule compare with other places, and I hope that Zilong will touch his conscience and say a fair word. ”
Zhao Yun was silent for a moment and looked at Zhang Lang, "As far as the lives of the people are concerned, the rule of the general is better than that of the Cao family, and it is better than the second emperor of Huan Ling, but the scholars have a lot of complaints about the general. ”
Zhang Lang nodded, "What Zilong said is very true. So does Zilong still think I'm a rebel and a thief? ”
Zhao Yun said: "As far as righteousness is concerned, the general is a chaotic minister and thief!" ”
Zhang Lang laughed and said, "Zilong's so-called righteousness means that he is loyal to the Han family, right?" Zhao Yun shook his head, "No." On that day, Ding Yuan Shuai Bin Qin Wang, the general was Ding Yuan's righteous son, but for his own selfish interests, he killed his father-in-law and helped him to abuse, isn't this kind of behavior unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial? The general has done this first, and it is difficult to believe the general! ”
Zhang Lang finally understood Zhao Yun's heart knot, smiled bitterly, his head spun quickly, and said with a sad face: "I was also forced to do so!" Zilong didn't know, in fact, it was a strategy that I discussed with Ding Yuan. Zilong is a smart person, and he should know that under the circumstances at that time, it was impossible for the state army to win alone. Seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, Ding Yuan and I discussed a plan to exchange Dong Zhuo's trust for bitter tricks, and then wait for an opportunity to plot against Dong Zhuo! Looking up to the sky and sighing, "No one knows this painstaking effort!" Anyway, let you go and talk about the chaos and thieves, I just need to have a clear conscience! ”
Zhao Yun showed a thoughtful look, and felt that Lu Bude was still reasonable, only in this way could many incomprehensible places be explained. Zhao Yun solemnly hugged his fist at Zhang Lang and said: "The general endures the humiliation and bears the burden, admire it below!" ”
Zhang Lang hurriedly asked, "Is Zilong willing to help me?" ”
Zhao Yun showed a look of embarrassment.
Zhang Lang understood Zhao Yun's thoughts, although Zhao Yun was not a foolish person, but after all, he had received the great favor of the Cao family, and now he suddenly wanted to make him turn his back on the Cao family, he really couldn't do it for a while.
Zhang Lang had an idea and thought about it. Riding a horse across the creek and running towards Zhao Yun. Seeing this, Zhao Yun thought that he was coming to attack him, but he didn't feel the slightest murderous aura on his body, and couldn't help but wonder.
Zhang Lang ran behind Zhao Yun, reined in the red rabbit horse, and shouted at Zhao Yun's army of 60,000: "Listen to the army, your general Zhao Yun has surrendered to me, and Cao Pi, the usurper of the throne, is gone, are you willing to follow me?" When Zhao Yun heard this, he was taken aback, and he was about to do it. Zhang Lang smiled: "I won't fight back, does Zilong want to do it to someone who won't fight back?" Zhao Yun didn't raise a gun, he didn't raise a gun, he was stunned.
When Zhao Yun's army heard Lu Bu's words, they sent an email to the two of them, and they couldn't help but believe Lu Bu's words, and the scene became chaotic. Some soldiers bowed down one after another and shouted, "I am willing to surrender." ......Seeing this, the other soldiers also bowed down one after another, and for a while, the sound of 'willing to surrender' resounded in the sky.
When Zhao Yun saw such a scene, he was angry and depressed, but now that the matter had come to this, he couldn't say anything.
Zhang Lang pulled Zhao Yun into the big tent, patted Zhao Yun's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "Zilong, don't be angry!" Zhao Yun said angrily: "The general is so heroic, he actually used such a scoundrel trick!" Zhang Lang said with a smile: "As long as Zilong can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, the scoundrel will be a scoundrel." Zhao Yun was not angry, nor was he grateful, he was very depressed.
Zhang Lang said: "Zilong, don't be distressed! As far as the country and the people are concerned, it is definitely a wise move for Zilong to abandon the dark and turn to the light; As for Cao Cao's kindness, Zilong, don't you know that Cao Cao was killed by Cao Pi? Therefore, you leave Cao Pi to serve me, it can be regarded as repaying Cao Cao's kindness, and I have a common ideal with Cao Cao, he died before he became a major event, I must realize this ideal, Zilong serves me, in fact, he serves Cao Cao! ”
Zhao Yun frowned and looked at Zhang Lang, "I have also heard the rumors that the eldest prince Guan Yu killed the lord, but I have even heard that this matter was done by Liu Bei and Guan Yu!" ”
Zhang Lang smiled: "If it wasn't for Cao Pi, then why did Guo Jia leave quietly after the first seven?" Zhao Yun showed a look of thought, and believed Zhang Lang in his heart. Zhang Lang said: "I let you see someone, and when you see him, you will know that what I said is true." Zhao Yun showed curiosity. Zhang Lang turned his head to the outside of the tent and said, "Come in!" Zhao Yun looked outside the tent and saw a huge and strong figure walking in under the light.
