Chapter Twenty-Four: Enlightenment and Departure from the Alliance
"A person's momentum, self-confidence. It can be its own bravery, the best of the best, and the mountains and rivers can be obtained for thousands of miles. Or it is respected by thousands of people, uniting the hearts of the people of the world, and the general trend will return to the territory of the dynasty..."
Zhao Zhou looked at the soldiers, listened to the shouts, his mind roared, and suddenly he realized occasionally, feeling that a person's 'momentum and self-confidence' spirit was either given by others or cultivated by himself.
For example, it is like giving a speech on stage for the first time when I was in school, some people have a phobia of speech, and when they see thousands of students in the audience, they will be nervous and their minds will be in a trance.
But the first sentence is spoken, and after overcoming the fear, the words become more and more fluent, and a leisurely self-confidence will be born from the bottom of the heart.
This is my own self-confidence temperament obtained by overcoming difficulties!
Unconsciously, when I spoke again, I also had an indescribable charm of language.
It seems to say that after the difficulty of speaking by thousands of people today, I will have such confidence when I speak in front of 10,000 people and millions of people in the future!
To put it mildly, this kind of self-confidence, this kind of charm, it seems to have broken through a certain realm, opened a certain shackle, and almost soared in the stunned eyes of the students!
and the self-confidence that is admired by others.
For a moment, Zhao Zhou, who heard the shouts of the soldiers, felt that this feeling of being respected by everyone was more like a spiritual inducement, making him feel as if he could really take Lu Bu's head from the army!
After all, tens of thousands of people shouted, and the condensed ideology and spirit already belonged to fanaticism! will make the admired person make unexpected decisions.
Zhao Zhou felt such a feeling, and couldn't help but think of the battlefield, the drums were roaring, and the soldiers were drinking, no wonder there were so many generals who knew that they were not good at martial arts would go to the enemy army and break into the camp alone.
This is their own brave momentum, and they can't control this kind of self-confidence! This kind of self-confidence is more for everyone!
Although Zhao Zhou also had this blind feeling, when he calmed down, his messy thoughts went to seven seven eight eight.
But then, he followed Cao Cao to avoid crowded places, on the way to Yuan Shao's big tent, he heard the soldiers shouting with his name, and then looked around, his heart was still excited beyond words.
It's just that this time it's more of a touch of being trusted!
For a moment, his heart shook slightly, like an electric shock, and his heart suddenly retracted and contracted, like a 'breath opening sound' from his heart, making his blood flow faster, and the dark energy suddenly exploded, but it quickly receded like a tide.
Especially after the dark energy, his heart did not continue to beat faster as if the dark energy was turned on, and after suddenly retracting and shrinking, it returned to its previous state.
The dark energy erupted just now, as if it had never appeared.
But Zhao Zhou recalled the feeling just now, and his heart was like breathing from the bottom of his heart, tightening and shrinking, but he could explode the dark energy again, without any accumulation.
"The mastery of dark energy is more profound...."
On the way to Yuan Shao's camp.
Zhao Zhou felt this feeling, and also thought that when he fought with the opponent in the future, he could achieve the moment he hit the opponent, and the dark energy would explode in an instant, reducing unnecessary energy consumption, and there was no need to accumulate energy to prepare.
Although the original accumulation is also very fast, but after all, you need a 'starting style', or step charging, or sit on the hips with a deep waist, there is no such thought, and the dark energy comes quickly.
This kind of instantaneous explosion technique is also used by Zhao Zhou many times in a year, practice makes perfect, or an epiphany under the cheers of tens of thousands of people, and it suddenly opened.
The rhythm of the heart has been mastered by him.
It's like flipping the horizontal bar for the first time.
A lot of rotating horizontal bar movements that I originally found difficult, practicing and practicing, I don't know what happened, I suddenly found that it was much simpler, or one day when my interest came, I suddenly turned it over, and I was handy, and the moment I touched the horizontal bar with both hands, I turned it over with a little accumulation.
After that, with ingenuity, you can easily turn a few times without the original cumbersome borrowing.
It's also an epiphany!
Zhao Zhou also found this moment of burst of dark energy, through this epiphany, tried a few times, familiarized himself, and his heartbeat began to speed up.
He rested for a while, his heartbeat was stable, and he also found that although his explosive power was still the same as before, the continuous battle time had increased several times!
"If you don't hit people, you won't explode dark energy and reduce unnecessary consumption."
Zhao Zhou thought about it, his palm swayed slightly in the wide sleeves, and realized it again.
Figuratively speaking, it's like a shorter distance of strength, and the whole body strength explodes at the distance and time closest to the opponent!
And it's not that the strength dissipates after a few punches, but that it can hit several punches, as many as ten punches!
"Today's perception is like opening up the second pulse of Ren Du, and suddenly I have mastered it.... It's also a kind of heart magic. ”
Zhao Zhou thought about it, and didn't know how to describe it, so it was tentatively set as 'the peak of dark energy', which belonged to the heart of dark energy.
This time.
When Zhao Zhou experienced the technique of exploding dark energy, everyone also came to Yuan Shao's big tent.
"Sir! Brother! Cao Ren rode over, joined them with Lu Bu's head, and entered the big tent together.
"That gentleman is General Zhao!" The soldiers who were shouting near the big tent also saw Zhao Zhou for the first time.
But they saw that Zhao Zhou and the others seemed to have something to do with the alliance leader, and then they didn't bother.
And inside the big tent.
The princes heard the shouts of the soldiers outside the account before, and after hearing that Cao Cao's people had killed Lu Bu, they were shocked, stopped the daily banquet, and turned to discuss.
"Lu Bu is dead?!"
"Zhao Wuji killed Lu Bu in Chang'an?"
"Is this true or false?"
The shouting outside the account was too loud, and the princes were talking loudly, so that they could hear each other's conversations from a distance.
And their faces were full of speculation and confusion when they talked, after all, they were so embarrassed for more than a month, and they were also forced by Lu Bu, but they really knew how strong Lu Bu was.
"Master Yuan, Lu Bu is dead, will we send troops to Chang'an?" While they were talking and were about to send someone out to inquire, Zhao Zhou also walked in with Cao Cao and others.
At this time, it was Cao Cao who spoke, and looked at the wine on their table, and said with a righteous expression: "I'm going to hunt down Dong Zhuo, but the alliance leader is putting on a big feast, is there something wrong?"
Cao Cao's words were very polite, and he looked disgusted with the princes.
But in fact, he had already discussed with Zhao Zhou, and wanted to leave here, get rid of the general alliance, and develop alone.
However, the Eastern Han Dynasty also paid attention to fame, and at such a critical juncture of the war, there was no good reason to break away from the battle line, which was not good.
So, Cao Cao used Yuan Shao's indecisive temperament to provoke Yuan Shao to send troops, if he didn't come out, it was exactly what he wanted.
"If they don't send troops! I, Cao Cao, will return to my hometown to gather troops and horses again, fight against Dong Zhuo's Gaoyi alone, and leave the alliance...."Cao Cao pondered, his face was as usual. But secretly he has already found out the thoughts of the princes.
"Is it really Lu Bu?"
And the princes didn't answer Cao Cao's question first, but looked at the lights in the hall and saw that it was Lu Bu's head that Cao Ren was holding in his hand!
"Lu Bu is really dead?" Yuan Shao, who was sitting at the head, also shrank his eyes, lowered his head and stroked his beard, although he was shocked that this gentleman beside Cao Cao had such skills that he could kill Lu Bu in Chang'an City, and he could get out.
But after he looked around, and heard the cheers outside the account gradually getting smaller, he didn't know what to think, and then Cao Cao just asked: "The city wall over there in Chang'an City is strong, although Dong Zhuo is dead Lu Bu, but there are still generals such as Xu Rong, should I discuss it for some time and then make countermeasures?"
Although Yuan Shao knew that this was a good opportunity, but now the heart of the army was all about Cao Cao, and what was shouted outside the hall was actually Zhao Zhou's name, he was afraid that this time, after the army really won, the hearts of the soldiers fell on Cao Cao's side.
But if it is defeated, it will be even worse, it is his Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses who are injured, and it is Cao Cao and others who benefit!
"Let me say, I'll wait...."Yuan Shao wanted to postpone it again.
But his resignation and dispatch of troops this time was also in line with Cao Cao's intentions. Otherwise, the Son of Heaven was really ushered in, this is another prince and a chaotic scene, which also delayed his development.
"Alliance Leader!"
However, thinking about it, Cao Cao still did enough to play a role, glanced at Zhao Zhou, pointed to the outside of the account, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Now that Lu Bu is dead, the enemy army must be in a low mood." And the morale of our army is sky! Ren Chang'an is a strong city, but it is just a matter of exploring the bag! ”
"No, no, no...."
Before Yuan Shao could reply, Yuan Shu answered again: "Meng De, you don't know something. Your husband is brave and invincible, a hero in the world! ”
Yuan Shu said, first stood up and flattered the silent Zhao Zhou, and then sighed and said, "But I don't have such a gentleman to take care of me, but there is only one life."
Yuan Shao would also find some words to cover up, but Yuan Shu really wanted to protect his soldiers and horses, and he was afraid that his safety would be in danger, so he directly interrupted Cao Cao's plan to 'send troops'.
"Yes, yes! What the leader of the alliance said is extremely true! ”
"Yes, yes, yes, we should do it again!"
The princes were also jealous that Cao Cao had Zhao Zhou, and then they also excused each other, just not to make Cao Cao comfortable. But his eyes kept staring at Zhao Zhou, showing a kind smile, looking like he wanted to make friends.
But Zhao Zhou ignored them, but his expression remained unchanged, his lips moved slightly, and he whispered to Cao Cao: "Meng De, now that we have lost the reputation we deserve, we can leave." There are mountains and rivers again, and there is no need to talk to him again, and it takes a lot of words. ”
"Good!" Cao Cao nodded slightly, seeing the faces of the princes, although he was very happy in his heart, but the appearance of the loyal monarch had done so, and he also circled his fingers around them, his expression first chuckled, and then he shouted angrily: "You should be a vertical son, how can I Cao Cao conspire with you?"
When the words fell, Cao Cao kicked over the table next to Yuan Shu, and suddenly there was a 'click', and the wine and food were sprinkled all over Yuan Shu's body, dyeing the precious silk into greasy.
"You!" Yuan Shu was furious and took a step forward.
"Cao Cao!" Yuan Shao and the other princes also looked at Cao Cao with a not very good look.
Just a 'click', Zhao Zhou was secretly vigorous, stepped an inch, and stood in front of Cao Cao, and suddenly the green bricks under his feet were shattered, but it made the princes' faces change again, and their anger dispersed.
Especially when the princes looked back left and right, they found that there were not many soldiers in the palace, and they didn't dare to look at Zhao Zhou's side, so they didn't see what Cao Cao had just done.
But they were all jealous, and their palms trembled.
"How could Cao Cao have such a character to follow?!" Ma Teng lamented in his heart and drank a few glasses in a row.
"Kill Cao Cao and Zhao Wuji, there may be a mutiny, and they should be let go today...."Yuan Shao didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Cao Cao, but he couldn't pull it down, and he didn't want to say that he was afraid, so he comforted himself with a reluctant and true reason.
"Then Zhao Wu can kill Lu Bu under the heavy guard of Chang'an, so wouldn't he be able to kill us and leave from here?" The other princes did not make any statements, but looked at the nose and the nose and the heart.
"This.... Sir...."Yuan Shu saw that no one was helping him, and he also sat on the mat full of soup again, snorting haha, not daring to say anything more.
"Sir, let's go."
When Cao Cao saw it, he looked down on Yuan Shu and the others, and bowed his hand to Zhao Zhou, and everyone left one after another.
"General Zhao!"
"General Zhao!"
When they arrived outside the hall, there were cheers, and many soldiers put on their armor, seemingly preparing to beat Chang'an with Zhao Zhou.
"Soldiers..."
And at this time, Cao Cao was also doing the trick to the end, and suddenly sighed and exclaimed sadly: "Yuan Shao erected!" I didn't dare to send troops to fight, Mr. and I disdained to be with him, that is, I went back to Chenliu today, recruited troops, and he went to Chang'an alone! ”
Cao Cao's face was sad, and he accentuated his tone in the word 'Chen Liu', and he didn't stop after speaking, pushing away the soldiers in front, and everyone returned to Cao Ying.
"This...."The soldiers were speechless, did not shout again, they all bowed to the backs of Zhao Zhou and Cao Cao, each sighed and took off their clothes and armor, and returned to their tents.
But in their hearts, they also knew that Zhao Zhou and Cao Cao were going today, and they were going to Chen Liu.
"Why don't we run away, with General Zhao and General Cao?" Many soldiers suddenly had ideas, and they spread ten, ten to hundreds.
"No! If I wait like this, I will make the princes dissatisfied with General Cao and General Zhao! There are also soldiers who have a lot of thoughts, whispering to persuade the surroundings, for fear of reaching Yuan Shao's ears.
"What then?" Many people have such thoughts, and for the first time they have the idea of breaking away from Yuan Shao's camp and defecting to the 'Loyal Han Righteousness', but Zhao Zhou, Cao Cao and others, who are afraid of being involved, are also buried in their hearts.
In a camp tent, there is a deputy general who has worked hard and fought for many years, but because of his low birth, he was not reused by Yuan Shao, who paid attention to his background, and then said these killing words.
"When General Cao and General Yuan are opposed, as long as General Zhao raises his arms, I will definitely follow General Zhao! This will also give General Zhao a big gift! It's even happier than taking refuge now! ”
After he finished speaking, he was complacent, but he was held by the strategist next to him, signaling that he could think and do, but now he couldn't say....
