Hua Xiong raised his head, stopped Zhou Cang from continuing, and commanded,

"You guys clean up the battlefield first, I'll say a few words to Zilong."

"Lord, aren't we going to pursue Liu Bei?"

Zhou Cang said with a stunned expression.

"There's no hurry."

Hua Xiong smiled and led Zhao Yun to a secluded location.

"Zilong, what do you think Liu Bei thinks of you?"

Hua Xiong asked.

Zhao Yun groaned slightly, and said honestly,

"The lord treats people generously, knows people well, and is very good to me."

"Okay? Not necessarily. ”

Hua Xiong pursed his lips.

"Why did King Wei say this?"

Zhao Yun was puzzled.

"Liu Bei is a complete hypocrite."

Hua Xiong said disdainfully,

"If he is really good to you, how can he only let people be his personal guards?"

"That's exactly what the state pastor trusts me."

Zhao Yun argued.

After Hua Xiong heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Zilong, you are not only obsessed, you are simply stupid!"

"If Liu Xuande really trusts you, why do you have military power in your hands?"

Hua Xiong's question made Zhao Yun silent all of a sudden, and he didn't know how to answer.

The troops under Liu Bei's command were almost all controlled by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The personal guard Bai Yu soldiers were led by Chen Zhi.

Although Zhao Yun is Liu Bei's cronies, he doesn't have any military power in his hands on weekdays, which is ridiculous!

Zhao Yun in history has always been Liu Bei's personal bodyguard.

It was not until after Liu Bei's death that Zhao Yun gradually began to grasp military power and showed his military ability.

It's a pity that he was old at that time, and his hero was in his twilight.

It was not until decades after Zhao Yun's death that the general Jiang Wei proposed that Liu Chan posthumously crown him as the Marquis of Shunping.

Hua Xiong saw this in his previous life and scolded Liu Bei for being hypocritical.

After Liu Bei became emperor, he wantonly enveloped the nobles from all sides, but ignored Zhao Yun, who had always been loyal to him.

How does this make Yun Fan Huaxiong angry?

Looking at Zhao Yun, who was silent, Hua Xiong smiled and stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder,

"Zilong, if you are willing to surrender to me, I will not be like Liu Bei who is violent and let such a good general succumb to personal guards.

I will appoint you as the commander of the first army and let you use your talents to the fullest! ”

There is a saying that a soldier dies for a confidant.

Hearing Hua Xiong's heartwarming words, Zhao Yun was really moved.

But in his mind, the heavens and men were at war, and he still shook his head and said with difficulty,

"King Wei, please forgive Zilong for not being able to be loyal to you."

Hua Xiong sighed and said regretfully,

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and if you don't want to surrender to me, I can't force you.

Let's go. ”

Zhao Yun raised his head in surprise and looked at Hua Xiong,

"King Wei, you ...... You're ......."

"Zilong, you have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and the ambition to stabilize the country.

If I kill you, or imprison you, I will waste talent like you.

In this case, it is better to let you fly high, I hope you can understand my good intentions one day. ”

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

Zhao Yun's lips trembled slightly, and his eyes became moist.

He never thought that Hua Xiong would value himself so much.

"Thank you King Wei for your kindness!"

He stood up and walked into the distance.

But after a few steps, he turned back again.

With a "plop", Zhao Yun knelt down towards Huaxiong and kowtowed heavily.

Then he left without looking back.

Hua Xiong stood in place and watched Zhao Yun leave.

"Lord, you just let him go like this?"

Zhou Cang came out of the side coldly.

Seeing Hua Xiong let Zhao Yun go so easily, he couldn't help but speak.

"Don't worry, one day, I will make him surrender to me willingly."

Hua Xiong smiled slightly, turned around and returned to Tan County.

Thanks to Cao Bao's response in the city, it didn't take much effort to take Tan County.

In this battle, Huaxiong's army killed 10,000 enemy troops, and also harvested Cao Bao's 30,000 Danyang soldiers, which can be said to be a complete victory.

Above the lobby.

Hua Xiong looked at Cao Bao with a smile,

"General Cao Bao, you have made a lot of contributions to winning Tan County this time, what reward do you want?"

Cao Bao held back the excitement in his heart and said respectfully,

"The last general just did his duty, and he didn't dare to ask too much."

Hua Xiong laughed and groaned slightly,

"Since this is the case, then I will make you the assassin of Xuzhou."

Cao Bao's old face almost didn't smile.

He hurriedly bowed down and said excitedly,

"Thank you for the reward!"

A general under Liu Bei has become the assassin in charge of Xuzhou's military and political power, how can he not make Cao Bao excited?

"But remember, if I find out that you are unfaithful, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Hua Xiong warned.

Cao Bao's heart sank, and he hurriedly said,

"Don't worry, the lord will definitely do his best for the lord and the court, and then die!"

Hua Xiong nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Zhou Cang walked in from outside, followed by a group of people.

"Lord, the people of the Mi family have brought it."

Hua Xiong looked up, who was standing behind Zhou Cang, who was not Mi Zhu?

He was immediately happy, "Mi Zhu, don't come to harm." ”

Mi Zhu's face was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Hua Xiong.

Last night, he also planned to send someone to capture Hua Xiong and present it to Liu Bei.

Unexpectedly, today Huaxiong led his troops to break through Tan County, not only did Liu Bei flee in the wilderness, but he also became a prisoner.

"Huaxiong, if you want to kill, you can do whatever you want."

Mi Zhu didn't turn his head and snorted coldly.

Hua Xiong laughed,

"Uncle, we are a family, how could I kill you?

Zhou Cang, hurry up and loosen their bonds. ”

"Yes, my lord."

Zhou Cang beckoned his subordinates and untied all the ropes of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang and others.

And Mi Luyun heard the movement and rushed over from the backyard.

The three brothers and sisters reunited, although they did not hug their heads and cry, but the atmosphere was also quite touching.

After a while, Mi Fang asked cautiously,

"King Wei, I don't know what you plan to do with our Mi family?"

"According to the usual practice, if you Mi family help Liu Bei, at least you have to raid the house.

But for the sake of the green clouds, I can forgive you your sins.

It's just that the land in the name of your Mi family needs to be confiscated as a punishment. ”

"That's not going to work!"

Mi Zhu didn't want to open his mouth to object,

"How can the Mi family's family business for several generations be defeated in my hands?"

Hua Xiong sneered,

"Uncle, are you embarrassed to say this? The Mi family's property should be about to make you lose it, right? ”

Since Huaxiong implemented the new policy and encouraged the people to reclaim land and plant high-yield rice fields, not to mention the jurisdiction of the imperial court, even the grain prices and land prices in Xuzhou, Jingzhou and other places have been declining.

But Mi Zhu is good, not only did he not consider changing careers at this time, but he also went all out to acquire land.

As a result, the Mi family has been losing money in the past few years.

In addition, in order to curry favor with Liu Bei, Mi Zhu subsidized him many times to help him train soldiers and horses.

If it weren't for the solid family background, Huaxiong would take Huaxiong for the sake of Mi Luyun and hand over the salt, iron ore, tobacco and other businesses to the Mi family.

I'm afraid that the Mi family would have closed down a long time ago.
