Zhao Yun, Zilong, Changshan Zhendingren.

In terms of age, Zhao Yun is twenty-five years old this year. However, he doesn't look very old, judging from his appearance alone, that is, he is in his early twenties, and he looks younger than Ma Chao. So much so that when Liu Chuang saw Zhao Yun for the first time, he didn't dare to determine his identity.

Ya'er, named Zhao Yan, is Zhao Yun's younger sister, eighteen years old.

Knowing that Liu Chuang was not a Montenegrin thief, Zhao Yun hurriedly stopped and apologized again and again.

As for Liu Chuang, he was panting with a knife. Although he fought with Zhao Yun, it was only more than ten times, but Liu Chuang felt extremely difficult.

Zhao Yun's spear was fierce and as fast as lightning.

The most hateful thing is that the layers of silver scales like scale armor on his gun are very dazzling in the sun, so it is also very difficult to deal with them. If it was on a horse, Liu Chuang would have the confidence to fight with Zhao Yun. Even if you don't win, you can guarantee that you won't lose.

But foot fighting against horses......

Liu Chuang knew very well in his heart that he had reached the limit just now.

The passive defense seemed to make Zhao Yun return in vain. But it's been a long time...... It is estimated that in another thirty rounds, he will definitely lose.

Although he lost to Zhao Yun, Liu Chuang is not ashamed.

But in my heart, I am always a little uncomfortable! Perhaps, this is the pride of the so-called military generals.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In Zhaojia Village, more than 30 people were killed or injured.

Many houses were burned down by Montenegrin thieves, leaving many homeless.

Looking at the villagers who were crying in front of the ruins, Liu Chuang didn't know how to persuade them.

"Hengruo, where have you been all these years?

After I left the school. I've been asking around for news of you. I thought you would go to General Baima, but later I found out that you didn't go to Youzhou at all. Since my brother died, I have stayed in Zhending. I was going to wait for you to come back, but I didn't expect to wait for several years. ”

Zhao Yan cleaned up the middle hall, and Zhao Yun entertained Liu Chuang and others at home.

He also seemed a little embarrassed, so he didn't go to Liu Chuang to talk, but asked Xiahoulan sideways, trying to find out Liu Chuang's identity. Because he can see it. Xia Houlan seems to be Liu Chuang's ministry. And judging from the situation between Fang Cai and Liu Chuang, this burly young man is definitely a fierce general. Fortunately, Liu Chuang did not ride a horse at that time, otherwise Zhao Yun would not have had the upper hand.

Xiahou Lan glanced at Liu Chuang and couldn't help laughing.

"Speaking of all these years. It's been a wonderful time.

I first served under Yuan Shao's general Chun Yu Qiong, and then Chun Yu Qiong did not allow me, so I went to Mount Tai to defect to Lu Qian. I didn't know that I later became a prisoner of the stairs. Fortunately, my son-in-law was magnanimous and spared my life, but he also valued it and ordered me to follow him. ”

Tarzan? Son?

Zhao Yun was stunned, and his eyes fell on Liu Chuang.

It's just Liu Chuang now. is also covered in blood, without any elegance.

He sat on the seat, exuding a thick evil aura, but in that evil aura. But there is a kind of majesty of the superior.

"Dare to ask ......"

Without waiting for Zhao Yun to speak, Liu Chuang preemptively said: "Zilong doesn't have to guess, my surname is Liu Mingchuang, and I am the Marquis of Zhongling." Now he is the uncle of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the official worships Liaodong Taishou. Bow to Captain Karasuma. I think Zilong, although you have always been in your hometown, you also know my name. ”

Bang dang!

Zhao Yan came in with a plate of barbecue, and when he heard Liu Chuang report to his home, his hand trembled, and the food plate suddenly fell to the ground.

And Zhao Yun stared at Liu Chuang with wide eyes.

Sure enough, it was him!

Just now Xia Houlan said that he was captured in Taishan County, and Zhao Yun vaguely guessed Liu Chuang's identity.

Since Xiahou Lan is working for Cao Cao, the person who captured him will definitely not be Cao Cao. Moreover, Liu Chuang's physical characteristics are very obvious, although Zhao Yun is in Changshan Country, he often hears people mention that now there is a flying bear that is not weaker than the tiger.

However, Zhao Yun didn't expect Liu Chuang to admit his identity so happily.

You must know that Liu Chuang is still in danger now.

He escaped from Xudu, and Yuan Shao was also quite jealous of him, and sent people around to inquire about him, hoping to keep Liu Chuang.

After all, if Liu Chuang does not return to Liaoxi for a day, Liaoxi will be leaderless.

As mentioned above, the reason why Yuan Shao agreed to give up Liaoxi was because he had the idea of annexing Liu Chuang.

Once Liu Chuang returned to Liaoxi, Liaoxi had a backbone, and it was not an easy thing to annex again. Although Yuan Shao is inviting Liu Chuang to the outside world, his true thoughts can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. If he really helped Liu Chuang, why did he hurriedly send his second son Yuan Xi to Zhuojun to serve as the assassin of Youzhou, and then sent his henchman Chun Yuqiong to be the Taishou of Liaoxi.

However, Yuan Shao's mind is not important to Zhao Yun.

From beginning to end, he never thought of serving Yuan Shao.

Especially after listening to what happened to Xiahou Lan, Zhao Yun dispelled his thoughts of defecting to Yuan Shao.

But Liu Chuang......

Zhao Yun had heard a lot about Liu Chuang, including the conflict between Liu Chuang and Liu Bei. At the beginning, Zhao Yun's sense of Liu Chuang was extremely poor. Because he has followed Liu Bei, he has great respect for Liu Bei. Liu Chuang and Liu Bei have a bad relationship, so there is no doubt that Liu Chuang's problem. But later, Liu Chuang returned to his ancestors and recognized his ancestors, not only washed away his grievances, but also rose rapidly and became a prince.

This also made Zhao Yun a little confused!

Could it be that there was a misunderstanding between Liu Chuang and Xuan Degong?

After that, Liu Chuang's life story spread, and he became the uncle of the Han Emperor. And after several battles, he has made a great name.

Zhao Yun's senses for Liu Chuang also changed from the initial hostility to admiration. But the contradiction between Liu Chuang and Liu Bei has never been resolved, and it is becoming more and more strict. This also made Zhao Yun feel confused! Liu Chuangqi, is he loyal or traitorous?

Of course, Liu Bei is a good person, and Liu Chuang is an enemy of him, so he is a bad person.

But now, Liu Chuang's reputation is getting louder and louder, especially later in order to cover the trilogy, Zhao Yun admired Zhao Yun's righteous act of risking alone.

At the beginning of the year, when Xu Tian was besieged. Fight the two bears and make a name for the Son of Heaven.

In Zhao Yun's opinion, at this time, Xuande Gong, who is a relative of the Han family, should come forward, but he doesn't want Liu Bei to be completely unmoved.

People say that Liu Chuang will praise him as a loyal minister of the Han family.

But if Liu Chuang is a loyal minister, then Xuande Gong is an enemy of him, isn't he a traitor of the Han family?

For a while, Zhao Yun couldn't tell the difference. Who is good and who is bad between Liu Chuang and Liu Bei.

Liu Bei has the grace of knowing him, but Liu Chuang is the uncle of the Han Emperor......

Standing in front of Liu Chuang, Zhao Yun was stunned for a long time, then sighed secretly in his heart and stepped forward. He bowed down and said, "Grass people Zhao Yun, meet Uncle Huang." ”

"Zilong doesn't have to be polite."

"You, the emperor's uncle?"

Zhao Yan's voice trembled a little, and he couldn't help but ask.

It's just that when Liu Chuang's eyes fell on her, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and hurriedly lowered her head.

If it weren't for Uncle Liu Huang. Her innocence is hard to guarantee today. But......

Zhao Yan's heart was beating wildly, and his thoughts were a little messy.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was not on her, and Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi sat aside. was looking at Zhao Yun with interest.

Liu Chuang said that this person is brave and unparalleled, and it is indeed true.

Fang was at the entrance of the village, and they saw the confrontation between Liu Chuang and Zhao Yun in their eyes, and they had a more intuitive understanding of Zhao Yun. As for why Liu Chuang knew about Zhao Yun. It's not hard to understand. Presumably it was introduced by Xia Houlan after he took refuge in Liu Chuang, and Liu Chuang became so interested in Zhao Yun.

Everyone sat down again. Zhao Yun was still confused.

He roughly guessed Liu Chuang's intentions for this trip, but he didn't know whether he should accept Liu Chuang's invitation.

It stands to reason that Liu Chuang is the uncle of the Han Dynasty and came to the door in person, which can be regarded as sincere. Although Zhao Yun was only a commoner, he was extremely loyal to the Han family. Liu Chuang invited, and he should have agreed. But the problem is that he promised Liu Bei that he would 'never betray morality'. There is a way, a thousand gold and a promise! This also made Zhao Yun not know how to choose, and fell into a dilemma for a while.

"Zilong, those Black Mountain thieves, what's going on?"

Liu Chuang saw that Zhao Yun's face was cloudy, and knew that he was in a contradiction in his heart, so he was not in a hurry to introduce the topic.

When it came to the 'Black Mountain Thief', Zhao Yun couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Those thieves are the king's subordinates.

Since the defeat of thieves such as Yu Poison and Bai Rao, although Zhang Yan has reined in, his troops have become more and more ferocious. Wang Dang has been standing on the mountain since the first year of Jian'an, and has repeatedly violated my homeland...... I have been summoned today to discuss the crusade by the decree of the Truth, but I do not want to......

If it weren't for Uncle Huang's timely arrival, more than 600 people in my Zhaojia Village would have been poisoned by that thief. ”

"Yuan Gong, don't you care?"

Sima Yi couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "In the past few years, Yuan Gong has been busy with the conquest of Gongsun Zhan, and it was not until the beginning of the year that it was about to be eliminated.

So in the past few years, I haven't taken into account the thieves everywhere. It is precisely because of this that the Montenegrin thieves have become more and more arrogant, and their power has grown extremely fast. At the end of last year, Zhang Yan teamed up with Wang Dangsun and others to raid Zhending, and Zhending County was killed by thieves, and it became a mess.

It was not until the beginning of the month that the new county magistrate took office, and he intended to form a village warrior, so he summoned us to discuss specific matters. ”

"This is really an order, but he is a person who is willing to do practical things."

When Liu Chuang heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and asked with interest: "But I don't know who this really decrees?" ”

"Oh, this man's name is Frustrated, Zi Zi Wing."

"Frustrated?"

Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Could it be that he is a member of the Frustrated Clan?" ”

"Cousin, Frustrated Ziyi is the son of Frustration...... When I was in Hanoi, I heard his name.

His father was a famous scholar in Jizhou, and he was outstanding in learning. This frustrated wing is not good at reading, prefers military affairs, has practiced martial arts since childhood, and is more proficient in the art of war. This guy has a very strong temperament, quite similar to his father. It's just that sometimes I am too stubborn and don't know how to work.

Previously, he had a conflict with Koji because of Koji Yi and was driven home.

Later, Yuan Gong killed Lu Yi, and then promoted him again, and ordered him to gather the old department of the first camp to form a halberd for Yuan Gong...... It's a pity that this guy is too straight, which angered Yuan Gong and drove him out of the Euphorbia. It is estimated that Yuan Gong saw that he was frustrated and face-saving, so he let him serve as the real order. ”

In terms of understanding the family, Zhuge Liang is indeed inferior to Sima Yi.

After all, the Sima clan has always been a prominent family in Hanoi; And Zhuge has gone through twists and turns, Zhuge Liang has been sluggish since childhood, although he later apprenticed with Liu Chuang to Zheng Xuan, but when it comes to understanding these things. It's really not as clear as Sima Yi's family treasures.

However, Zhuge Liang also knows his weaknesses and doesn't care much about it.

After Liu Chuang heard this, he suddenly turned his gaze to Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, what are you going to do?"

"This ......"

Liu Chuang said: "Zilong, I guess you have already guessed what I came for."

So, we don't have to hide it. In the end, everyone was very unhappy. You can think about it slowly and not rush it. I want to know now, do you want to destroy that Black Mountain thief? If so, I can help you! You just treat me as a means to entrap you, and you don't accept it. It's all up to you. I'm not very satisfied with these Black Mountain thieves either...... The Han family declined, and traitors were in charge. And today, the son is trapped in Xu Du, nominally the Son of Heaven, but in fact he is a puppet. The situation has become so corrupt that these thieves still refuse to stop.

What age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious.

If it weren't for these rebels and thieves making trouble. How could my big man have the defeat he has now?

This time, I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to guard Liaodong, and I also wanted to protect my Han side...... But if the thief is not appeased, it will not work out in the end. Like such thieves. Killing one less may not get better, but at least it won't be worse than it is now...... Zilong knows my mind? ”

The words were so refreshing that Zhao Yun was dumbfounded.

He had never seen anyone speak so openly and honestly...... But I have to say. Liu Chuang's words won his heart. made him suddenly have a lot of good feelings for Liu Chuang.

"Don't hide it from Uncle Huang, I have an enmity with that black mountain thief."

Zhao Yun took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "I think Hengruo also told Uncle Huang that my parents died when I was a child, and it was my brother who raised me and sent me to practice martial arts. In the second year of the first peace, Zhang Yan gathered in Hebei and called the Black Mountain Army. Then the king was ordered to come to Zhending and occupy the mountain.

Uncle Huang may not know that according to my Zhaojia Village, Mengshan is only sixteen miles away.

Its mountains are majestic, the roads are rugged, only the north and south slopes have a sheep intestine path, easy to defend and difficult to attack. And the mountain is steep on all sides, the top of the mountain is flat and flat, there are more than 600 acres of land, which can be cultivated by people and self-sufficient. Because of this, the government made several expeditions, all of which ended in failure. This also made Wang Dang even more arrogant, forcibly levied protection money from various villages, and if he dared to refuse, he would go on a killing spree.

Although my Zhaojia Village has some money, it is not rich.

At first, my brother saw that the king was powerful and did not want to fight with him, so he agreed to his conditions...... But the dog thief became more and more arrogant, and my brother saw that the village could no longer bear it, so he secretly contacted the government and tried to ambush and kill the king when he came down to the mountain. It was only later that the news leaked...... Wang Dang was angry and washed Zhaojia Village in blood. My brother was killed by Wang Dang in order to protect the villagers. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun's eyes were red, and tears glistened in his tiger eyes.

Zhao Yan sat behind him and sobbed softly.

Even Xia Houlan was on the side, clenching her fists and gritting her teeth with hatred......

Liu Chuang did not show excitement...... What era is this? It's a troubled time! Perhaps a hundred years from now, the Han people will usher in the darkest era. Zhao Yun is about his own body, so he is very excited. But for Liu Chuang, this is just the most ordinary thing.

"So, you want to get rid of Wang Dang?"

"If Wang Dang is not eradicated, how can Zhaojia Village be stable?"

Liu Chuang didn't answer, and glanced at Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

Aren't you convinced of each other? Now is the time for you to show your means......

"How many thieves are there on that mountain? I mean, someone who can fight? ”

"I've heard that more than 5,000 people have gathered in the Bandits, but most of them are women, children, old and weak, and there are less than 2,000 capable of fighting."

Without waiting for Zhao Yun to speak, Zhao Yan spoke first.

It can be seen that she also wants to avenge her eldest brother, so she often inquires about the situation of the thieves on weekdays.

Sima Yi said again: "Then how many soldiers do you have available now?" ”

"This ......"

Zhao Yun showed a look of surprise and said softly: "There are 100 young and strong people in my Zhaojia Village, who can participate in the war.

This time, I went to the county seat and listened to the order of the county, he had 300 patrols in his hands, and he was the first warrior. The county commander had planned to recruit enough village warriors to defend against the Black Mountain bandits. However, when the villages heard that they were going to fight against the Black Mountain bandits, they were very afraid and did not dare to obey their fate. They said that even if Wang Dang was destroyed, there would still be Zhang Yan...... At that time, if the Black Mountain thieves come to commit it in a big way, don't say that it is true, even the entire Changshan will be difficult to resist.

Therefore, only about 500 strong men were recruited this time. ”

"In other words, there are less than a thousand people?"

"Exactly."

Zhao Yun lowered his head, revealing a look of shame.

He was ashamed of his fellow villagers, and even didn't dare to face Liu Chuang.

"Kong Ming, why don't you speak?"

Zhuge Liang raised his head and said softly: "Actually, it is not difficult to destroy the mountain thieves.

Second Brother Zhao said that the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are only two sheep intestine paths, and the top of the mountain is flat and flat, which means that it is difficult to work no matter whether it is attacked or besieged. If it is delayed for a long time, there will be black mountain thieves who come to the rescue, and the situation will become more and more complicated at that time.

Therefore, I thought that in order to destroy the bandits, you should not attack by force, but should be outwitted.

I have a plan, since the storm on the mountain is not successful, why not lead Wang Dang and the thieves down from the mountain? As long as they dare to come out, they can fight quickly and destroy them. At that time, even if Zhang Yan wants to rescue, it will be too late, and it may even outweigh the losses......"

"What Kong Ming said is exactly what I think."

When Sima Yi heard this, he nodded again and again.

"Besides, I don't think it's hard to lure the thieves down the mountain.

They attacked Zhaojia Village this time, suffering heavy casualties and even more damage to their leader. Fang Cai Zilong also said, how can the king be arrogant and domineering, how can he endure this breath? A man who seems to be so domineering can provoke them, lead them down from the mountain, and then defeat them in one fell swoop, and never let them return to the mountain. When the king descends the mountain, the army can be divided into two roads, and a group of men and horses will attack the mountain...... When the king is exhausted, the mountain will be empty. When the time comes, those thieves will see that the nest is occupied, and they will be quickly defeated. ”

Liu Chuang listened to the words of the two, and a look of admiration suddenly appeared on his face.

He turned his gaze to Zhao Yun and smiled slightly, "Zilong, what do you think?" ”
