Chapter 336: Brother-in-law
The nameless knight was preparing, and the people present were buzzing in whispers.
They had just learned what had happened on stage, and Qu Shuai actually let the last player perform a hanging shot.
There are people who don't understand what suspension is, and they are suddenly reminded by people who know how to do it, and then they gasp. It's hard to think about it.
Soon, in the spotlight, a rider dressed in white, holding a Tong bow, skillfully driving a thin horse, slowly entered the racecourse.
This person has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, eight feet long, and a majestic face, although he looks like he has grown up, but he knows that this person is not very old by looking at his beard.
At this time, the little official who got the signal waved the letter flag in front of him, and his man jumped on his horse and whipped his whip, and galloped on the hundred-step racetrack, and this would be a six-inch plank that had been selected on a wooden pole and swayed.
Everyone watched with bated breath as the man approached on his horse, and just as he was about to be level with the plank, the man stretched his arm sideways, and drew an arrow from his sac, swift as the wind and thunder, and wound the arrow.
The arrow missed deep through the plank, rolling in the air several times before hitting the ground.
The people present were silent at first, and then there were cheers everywhere.
This knight gave a pinnacle of strength and beauty to the samurai present, how not to make people applaud.
Put it on ordinary people, in such a high-profile occasion, one arrow is decided, even if you are old, you can't help but be happy.
But the young warrior was not arrogant or impatient, his face was as heavy as water, and after controlling his thin mount, he turned over and dismounted, walked to the front of the stage, and bowed to Zhang Chong above.
Zhang Chong looked at this person with admiration on his face, and the mixture of relief, pride, and surprise on his face directly made Zhang Chong unable to suppress it, and sighed:
"Good, good! It's wonderful, it's wonderful."
Then Zhang Chong turned his head to Du Man, Sacrifice Sun and others:
"This person's riding and shooting is already extraordinary, but what I appreciate even more is this gentleman's hypocritical calming feelings of not liking things and not being sad about himself. With this, there is a lot to be done."
Du Man and the sacrificial grandson nodded in agreement, agreeing with Zhang Chong's words.
But Du Man, who knows Zhang Chong better, also has a trace of doubt:
"What's wrong with Qu Shuai today, why is he so arbitrary. This man is really extraordinary, and with Qu Shuai's temperament, he won't be like this."
But Du Man only put this doubt in his heart, and only thought that Qu Shuai was really happy today.
After all, today's batch of martial arts students are indeed excellent, and their martial arts are remarkable, and they are studying in the martial arts academy to learn the battle formation, and they will lead the team later, which can greatly improve the tactical ability of the grassroots level.
Therefore, Qu Shuai is understandably happy.
Here, Zhang Chong asked as usual:
"What's your name?"
The white-clothed warrior who bowed his head below hurriedly replied:
"Hui Qu Shuai, the last general Zhao Yun, Chang Shan is really fixed."
As soon as these words came out, Du Man, who was still laughing just now, moved in his heart, and then looked at Cai Yong and Zhuge Jue opposite. At this time, the two people opposite were also pondering.
Obviously, the two of them thought of a piece, just like Duman.
This Zhao Yun can't be a member of the Zhao clan, right?
The Zhao family is the general Zhang Chong who has only one concubine now, Zhao E.
Zhao E gave birth to a son named Zhang Cheng for Qu Shuai last year. Previously, because Zhang Chong was going to fight in the Central Plains, he left the two in Fenggao, and Cai Yong and Zhuge Jue and other Taishan stayed behind to take care of them.
This time, Cai Yong and Zhuge Jue went north to Yecheng and sent Zhao E and the young master together. Although Fenggao has been defeated by the Taishan army on all sides, its external environment is very safe. But as Zhang Chong's only heir, he still can't be separated from Zhang Chong for a long time.
Now this one is called Zhao Yun, surnamed Zhao, and like Zhao, he is from Changshan Zhending, such a coincidence, they can't help but think about it too much.
Especially Du Man, he also glanced at Zhang Chong, and saw that he was still smiling like that, and he couldn't figure out whether it was or not.
Zhang Chong suddenly didn't notice the thoughts of the staff, and when he heard Zhao Yun say that he was from Changshan, he asked with a smile:
()"Changshan is in the north of Jizhou, and now it belongs to the Han family, why did you, as a Changshan person, go south to Yecheng to join the Taishan army?"
Yes, Zhang Chong's question just touched the hearts of many generals present. Thinking about it a little, he already regarded this person as a meticulous work of the Han army, and looked at Zhao Yun viciously.
These Taishan Army generals on and off the stage, which one of them is not murderous, will all stare at Zhao Yun, and the murderous aura will be pervasive.
The thin white horse beside Zhao Yun keenly felt this malice, snorted uneasily, and was plowing the ground with his hooves.
But Zhao Yun was calm and said very seriously:
"If there is chaos today, the people are in danger of hanging upside down, and I hope that heroes will come out to relieve the people. Although Yun is contemptible, he also knows that he must vote for the benevolent government and the people who love the people, so I vote for Qu Shuai instead of the Han family."
As soon as these words came out, the fierce generals who were malicious just now laughed:
"Okay, it's a good-eyed one."
Especially Ding Sheng, the most frivolous of the crowd, jumped up and clapped his hands and shouted:
"You're right, in terms of benevolence and righteousness, who in the world can have my family's handsome benevolence and righteousness? Don't look at me ......."
Ding Sheng was about to continue bragging, when he suddenly heard Qu Shuai coughing, and sat down again.
Ding Daqi, Ding Daqi, I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry about it first.
Zhang Chong interrupted Ding Sheng's praise and continued to ask:
"Then how did you get into the Martial Arts Academy? I remember that these military students need to be promoted from the army by the captains and military masters. How did you get here?"
Here Zhao Yun had to continue, and Tao Di, who was a little outside, came out and replied:
"Qu Shuai, this Zhao Yun was promoted to the school by the flying dragon."
When Tao Yin said this, Dong Zhao was watching from the side, obviously surprised by Tao Dark's positive expression, it seems that this Zhao Yun is not simple.
Zhang Chong bowed his head, and at this time he saw the weak and thin horse next to Zhao Yun and asked:
"Heroes are good horses, can your horse carry you? Come on, pull my mount to Zhao Yun."
When Ding Sheng heard this, his teeth were sore, and he was a little aggrieved.
Qu Shuai, my old Ding's horse is also thin!
In fact, not only Ding Shengsour, but also the fierce generals present were a little red in their hearts. After all, Zhang Chong is a young man, and he is giving opportunities and sending horses, who is not envious in his heart.
They are short of a horse, they are envious that this good day for Zhao Yun is coming.
Because they know this model too well, wasn't that the case with Captain Guan back then? In a short period of time, he became the leader of the army.
Hey, who is this Zhao Yun, such good luck?
Just when everyone thought that Zhao Yun would thank Zhang Chong for giving the horse, Zhao Yun bowed again.
He said respectfully to Zhang Chong:
"Xie Qushuai gave the horse, but the last general gave this horse to the last general when his sister left home, and the last general raised it and already had feelings. Although he has lost some weight now, it is also because the last general's family is poorer and cannot be fed with chickens. Later, the last general will take care of it, and it is also a BMW?"
Listening to what Zhao Yun said so simply, Zhang Chong laughed, and then said inexplicably:
"You are a sentient being, and your sister must have rejoiced in hearing it."
Zhao Yun listened to Zhang Chong's words, lowered his head, and his expression was dark.
Zhang Chong pursed his lips and beckoned Zhao Yun to come to the stage.
Zhao Yun bent down to receive the order, and under the guidance of a first-class soldier, he stepped up the stage from the side. then walked through the road of a group of soldiers and fierce generals, and then knelt in front of Zhang Chong.
At this time, Zhang Chong took a good look at Zhao Yun's face, looking at the fluff on his mouth, Zhang Chong couldn't help but say:
"It's still a child."
Zhao Yun was stunned, not knowing why Zhang Chong suddenly said this. He was feeling that Qu Shuai was disgusted that he was still young and questioned his ability.
Then I heard Qu Shuai change the topic again:
"Later, you still don't wear white clothes and white armor to battle. Your outfit is too dazzling on the battlefield, it's a target."
Zhang Chong is a little flocculent
"The army's flags and overcoats can be brightly colored, which helps identify friendly forces. But you have to dress like the robes of the others, so that you can be safe."
When Zhang Chong said this, Zhao Yun opened his mouth, not knowing what was going on, and only subconsciously nodded in agreement with Zhang Chong.
Seeing that Zhao Yun was so cramped, Zhang Chong smiled narrowly and said:
"Do you have a table?"
Zhao Yun replied:
"Hui Qu Shuai, yes. When Yun left his hometown, my brother named me Zilong."
"Okay, Zilong, I'm your brother-in-law."
At this time, Zhao Yun subconsciously said:
"Yes, brother-in-law."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized what he was talking about just now, and then looked at Zhang Chong with his mouth open in surprise.
The staff and generals present also opened their mouths wide at this time, looked at Zhang Chong, and then at Zhao Yun. is as indifferent as Guan Yu, and his eyes are trying to open them to the maximum.
In the crowd, Du Man suddenly felt that all this was like this.
In fact, Zhang Chong already knew about it when Zhao Yun entered the Martial Arts Academy, and he also told Zhao E about it and asked if he wanted to meet him.
Of course Zhao E thought about it, but she still couldn't help thinking of her brother and felt that she should not disturb Zhao Yun's studies.
Even so, every time Zhang Chong and Zhao E had dinner together, Zhao E couldn't help but inquire about Zhao Yun's news, and she couldn't give up.
At this point, Zhang Chong stood up and said to the generals:
"This is the end of today's shooting banquet, everyone has a good time with the military officials, and tomorrow we will gather at the military palace, I have something important to inform."
Then Zhang Chong took Zhao Yun and left, leaving the generals thoughtful.
It seems that war is coming again.
When the Taishan army was cultivating and practicing martial arts, to the west of it, an envoy was marching.
This envoy was sent to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo, the Taishou of Hedong, and the envoy was Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's mastermind, and the deputy envoy was Li Dao.
Li Ru and Li Dao came west this time to send a batch of tributes from Hedong Yanchi to Chang'an.
Since Dong Zhuo accepted the scarf of the Western Emperor Liu Hong and obtained the power to open the government and build teeth, he gradually fell to the west in the confrontation between the east and the west.
Although the conditions given to him by Kanto were also good, Dong Zhuo still refused Dong's solicitation.
The reason is not complicated, because his small group is from Kansai, and it is naturally closely related to the world's wealthy people in the Kansai court. In addition, Liu Hong still has a little bit of knowledge for Dong Zhuo, compared to the widow in the east, or Liu Hong's signboard is more effective for Dong Zhuo.
Of course, there is also a consideration of Dong Zhuo to the west.
That is, he and Huangfu Song are not too much to deal with. Although the two are the leaders of the Kansai faction, they are not of the same faction.
Huangfu Song is the nephew of Huangfu Gui and the successor of Huangfu's forces. Dong Zhuo was cultivated by Zhang Huan and was the successor of Zhang Huan's lineage, and he was later conquered by Duan Cheng.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo is naturally politically closer to the imperial family.
But Huangfu Song is different, he is inclined to clear streams, and from now he can be encouraged by the Henan family, which can also see his political choice.
Now that there is Huangfu Song in the eastern court, it is impossible for him Dong Zhuo to succumb to Huangfu Song. On the contrary, now that the court in the west is short of leading figures, he Dong Zhuo leaned in the past, which was just in time.
But Dong Zhuo is more cautious, if the west court can't support the wall, he won't really bury Liu Hong.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru to personally escort Chi Yan this time, just to let the inspection investigate the strength of the Guanxi court.
The team set off for more than ten days and saw that it was about to arrive in Chang'an. Halfway through, it suddenly encountered the Guanzhong area and entered the highest state of security.
As far as Li Ru saw, the bell was fast, the stagecoaches galloped, and the army was full of routs.
() From the east, there were scattered soldiers. Li Ru only stopped a few people and inquired
By then, the Kansai army was defeated at Gucheng outside the Kushan Mountains.
The Kwantung Army has already reached the outside of Hanya Pass.
Even these routs said that the Jingzhou area was also in turmoil, saying that the Wuguan in the south had also been attacked, and the court was about to be finished.
These true and false news made Li Ru upset, and he decided to stay in the Baqiao Post in Chang'an East for the time being, not to enter the city for the time being, and to see the news later.
Because Li Ru knew from those defeated soldiers that although the main force of the Kwantung Army was blocked outside the Hangu Pass, there were many righteous servants in the pass who also took advantage of the situation to cause chaos.
Although Li Ru didn't believe much in the words of these routs, in his opinion, what kind of rebels dared to attack and kill the official mission, and the possibility of these rebels being guilty was greater than that of the rebels.
But even with suspicion, Li Ru still sought stability and stopped.
In the days that followed, the chaos around Chang'an intensified.
This kind of thing is unprecedented.
When Li Ru and Li Dao went to look outside the post station, a notice had already been posted there, ordering the fugitives and evading the conscription to surrender within a time limit, and if they did not come out for five days, they would die! Stay in the house, and be guilty of crimes.
From this proclamation, it seems that what the previous routs said was right, and the Kwanti Army really lost the battle outside the pass.
In order to find out the situation, Li Ru asked Li Dao to take more than a dozen elite horsemen to the east along the official road to see what was going on in this pass.
Li Wei also knew that the purpose of this time was to investigate the strength of Kansai, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he selected a team of ten centaurs and personally explored the east.
Along the way, Li Dao saw ruined walls, scorched wood and rubble, and a pungent smell of smoke. It turned out that the civil unrest was fake, but it was the rout soldiers who retreated from outside the pass to burn, kill and loot along the road.
It seems that this is the strength of Kansai.
After making this decision, Li Dao did not go east, and chased after Li Ru, intending to tell him all this.
