Chapter Seventy-Three: Zhao Zilong has never served anyone

Seeing that it was Cao Cao coming, Xi Yu nodded at the other party.

This time the battle of Cao's army in Xuzhou is almost the same now.

Cao Cao is now sitting in the rear, and Cao Ren and others in front of him are facing each other against the Xuzhou army.

Each other, so far, is a stalemate.

This kung fu, Cao Cao glanced at the chessboard in front of Xi Yu, and after sitting down, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the school field on the side.

"That's?"

In the school field, two figures fighting each other fought back and forth.

Dian Wei's double halberd opened and closed, and when he attacked, there was a shouting sound, although Zhao Yun was silent, but the spear in his hand was difficult to enter.

Such a strong duel naturally attracted Cao Cao's attention at the first time.

After recognizing Dian Wei's figure, Cao Cao paid more attention to the other person.

What kind of force Dian Wei is, Cao Cao knows it.

And being able to compete with Dian Wei, and even suppress Dian Wei's opponents in some cases, such a person naturally made Cao Cao extremely concerned.

At this time, Zhao Yun had already changed into his regular clothes, and it was normal for Cao Cao not to recognize who the other party was at the first time.

Xi Yu heard Cao Cao's inquiry, and glanced at Cao Cao lightly.

"This person is the person I captured that day, Zhao Yun, Zilong!"

"Zhao Zilong?"

Cao Cao muttered at the corner of his mouth.

The whole person was a little surprised, he thought that the white-robed young general that was captured by Xi Yu that day was just an inconspicuous character.

Who would have thought that when I saw each other today, I would know how brave the other party was.

Of course, Cao Cao, who has seen the courage of Xi Yu, has long since lost his vision as it was at the beginning.

However, a strong general like Zhao Yun, he naturally understood it in his heart.

Not everyone can compare with Xi Yu, generals like Guan Yu and Dian Wei are already rare figures in the world.

And Zhao Yun, who can be compared with it, and even sometimes suppresses Dian Wei, such a general, is naturally not an ordinary person.

Cao Cao's heart couldn't help but rise with a touch of heat.

No wonder Liu Xuande's guy wrote to him every day to send Zhao Yun back.

It turned out that the white-robed young man he didn't pay attention to was so brave!

After knowing how powerful Zhao Yun was, Cao Cao didn't care about Liu Bei's letter.

Put it back?

Don't!

The generals he finally ran into would send Liu Bei back like this.

Subconsciously, Cao Cao set his eyes on Xi Yu.

"Fengyi!"

Cao Cao had a smile on his face, and the corners of his eyebrows were bent a little.

Seeing this scene, Xi Yu instantly understood what the other party meant.

Just now, Cao Cao stared at Zhao Yun's intently figure in the field, but he really looked at it.

However, Zhao Yun, it is impossible for him to give it to Cao Cao.

What's more, Zhao Yun did not serve him at the moment, and with Zhao Yun's character, it was extremely difficult to serve Cao Cao.

"I understand what my brother means!"

Xi Yu smiled: "However, Zilong is loyal and righteous, I'm afraid he won't serve you!" ”

"I captured him this time, just to get acquainted with him!"

"I'll let him leave the camp in the coming day!"

Xi Yu said this, and Cao Cao's face instantly collapsed when he heard this.

However, it was not so easy to get Cao Cao to give up.

In his opinion, who can say what he has never tried!

However, at this moment, Xi Yu has already said this, and Cao Cao is not in a hurry.

He glanced down at the chessboard in front of him, and then smiled: "Fengyi is playing chess, I'll accompany you in the next game!" ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao took the initiative to put the chess in a good position.

"Fengyi, as you expected, this time our army wants to capture Xuzhou before the New Year, which is very important!"

After pushing the chess pieces, Cao Cao sighed and said.

At the moment, he was a little hesitant, seeing that most of Xuzhou was already in his hands, and in the next step, he might be able to bring the entire Xuzhou under his command.

How can people give up such a thing willingly.

However, the restrictions of Xuzhou's policy, with a series of things, had to make Cao Cao consider whether it was time to withdraw from the army.

He is now uncertain, and after asking Xi Zhicai, Zhicai also advised him to retire.

However, he still wanted to ask Xi Yu.

"Brother actually already has an idea in his heart, it's nothing more than a trade-off!"

Xi Yu understands that Cao Cao is not a person who can't see the pros and cons in front of him.

Xuzhou is close at hand, and such a temptation is something that ordinary people can give up easily.

Obviously, if you go one step further, you will be able to occupy the entire Xuzhou.

When the time comes, sitting on the land of the two states, who else can be compared to the princes in the whole world except Yuan Shao, who else can be taken into account by Cao Cao.

But now, not the time.

"My brother has only occupied Yanzhou for two years now, and although the people's hearts are stable, the land of Yanzhou is not like an iron bucket."

"Although Xuzhou is good, Yanzhou is the basic plate of our army!"

Xi Yu reminded casually.

He didn't directly say anything about Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others seeking to seize Yanzhou, but the result of history will happen eventually.

It doesn't change because of your own existence.

And all this was caused by Cao Cao's attitude towards the Yanzhou scholars.

The current Yanzhou seems to be under Cao Cao's rule on the surface, but after all, it is suppressed by force.

If Cao Cao is trapped in this because of Xuzhou in front of him.

At that time, Chen Gong and the others will naturally not give up such a good opportunity.

If Yanzhou is in chaos, Xuzhou, which was just swallowed at that time, will be like a fish in the throat, and it is not swallowed, nor is it vomited.

When the time comes, it's the big problem.

Cao Cao didn't know that Chen Gong and Zhang Miao and others had different intentions, and this matter couldn't be said on the surface.

However, the drama is clear.

Now that I am at the extreme, I can only retreat!

Or, let yourself go back!

As long as he is in Yanzhou and has Xun Yu's cooperation, Chen Gong and the others will not be able to make any waves at all.

"Fengyi is right, Yanzhou is my foundation!"

Xi Yu's words woke up Cao Cao in an instant.

Xuzhou is here, he can take Xuzhou under his command sooner or later, what's the hurry?

After thinking about it in his heart, Cao Cao didn't stay long.

After retiring from Xuzhou, he still needs to arrange some things next.

These captured towns could not be abandoned like this, so he naturally had to arrange for people to garrison them.

After Cao Cao left, on the other side of the school field, the exchange between Zhao Yun and Dian Wei also ended.

Seeing Zhao Yun and Dian Wei coming back, Xi Yu deliberately glanced at Zhao Yun.

With the eyesight of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, it was not very difficult to find Cao Cao.

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them came over, Dian Wei asked in a loud voice: "Why did Lord Zhou Mu leave?" ”

"Just a little bit of chatter!"

Xi Yu didn't elaborate, and looked at Zhao Yun quietly.

Zhao Yun didn't open his mouth, he naturally noticed Cao Cao just now.

As a captive, he didn't want to have too much contact with Cao Cao, which was regarded as avoiding suspicion.

Xi Yu understood in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

After Zhao Yun sat down again, there was obviously fine sweat on his forehead, and Dian Wei on the side was similar, but it was more difficult than Zhao Yun.

"Zhao boy's marksmanship is really good, it makes me scared, it's uncomfortable!"

Dian Wei laughed.

The two of them competed, and a general like Zhao Yun, who had both skills and strength, had extremely obvious restrictions on Dian Wei.

This is not on the horse, if it is on the horse, this threat will be greater.

Of course, it's not a battle formation, Dian Wei is also restrictive, if it's really a fight, the winner is still unknown.

"General Dian is not bad, Yun responds to it, but he doesn't dare to be distracted!"

Zhao Yun smiled at Dian Wei, and after a fight, there was less estrangement between the two.

Although they are different camps, the generals still have some sympathy for each other.

A fierce general like Dian Wei, Zhao Yun's impression coincides with Zhang Fei.

However, there is a difference between the two.

Zhang Fei is also wide open and closed, but among his eight snake spears, there is still some dexterity.

Dian Wei's double halberd is different, although there are skills, more of them are overpowering.

After the two fought, the atmosphere in the courtyard was much better at this time.

Xi Yu looked at Zhao Yun, and suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Zilong, I heard that there is another brother in the Ling family?"

Regarding Zhao Yun's situation, if Xi Yu remembers correctly, the other party does have a brother in the family, but it is rumored that his physical condition is not very good.

"Don't hide it from Mr., Yun has a brother, but the brother is different from Yun, Yun followed the master to the mountain to practice martial arts in his early years, but the brother is just an ordinary villager!"

"And my brother has been in poor health all these years, and Yun hasn't been home to see his brother for a long time!"

Zhao Yun sighed, although he didn't know why Xi Yu suddenly asked about his brother.

However, thinking of his brother, Zhao Yun's expression couldn't help but feel a little sad.

When he went up to the mountain with his master to practice martial arts, his brother ran the family alone, and he became ill for a long time, but he suffered from his brother.

Listening to Xi Yu mention it this time, he didn't know that his brother had been in good health over the years.

"Zilong, don't hide it, I know some medical skills, I may have a way to cure your brother's illness!"

Xi Yu thought about it and said casually.

If he guessed correctly, Zhao Yun's brother should have a lung disease, which is difficult to treat according to the medical conditions of this era.

He didn't know how serious the other party's lung disease was.

However, in later generations, there were many medicines for lung diseases.

The well-known penicillin is still effective for some lung diseases.

And penicillin, made in this era, is just a matter of effort!

"Is what you said true?"

Hearing Xi Yu speak, Zhao Yun suddenly raised his head and glanced at the other party, for him, his brother is now the person he values the most.

Zhao Yun's heart is to treat his brother's illness, and he has sought famous doctors many times over the years.

"If it's as expected, there should be no problem!"

Xi Yu smiled and nodded: "Zilong, how can I laugh at will!" ”

"This!"

Zhao Yun paused!

The person in front of him may really be able to save his brother, but what is the price?

He knew that the other party couldn't help him for no reason.

And the so-called price is probably yourself.

It's just that he already plans to recognize Liu Bei as the master in his heart, if he serves others because of his brother this time, it will be a loss of morality in his heart.

However, his brother was the closest person in the world.

Knowing that he could save his brother's life, but let him give up, how could he do it.

Zhao Yun's heart became more and more entangled, and even his face began to become extremely different.

Xi Yu glanced at the other party, and naturally knew that Zhao Yun was probably making a choice in his heart.

However, it is useless to coerce people like Zhao Yun and forcibly coerce.

He also disdained to use the means of curing diseases to coerce Zhao Yun to serve him.

After all, he has a lesson from Boss Cao's past.

Later, Cao Cao's mother of Xu Shu wanted to coerce Xu Shu to come to Cao Ying, but even if Xu Shu came, he still didn't give Cao Cao the slightest advice.

There is no point in doing so.

"Zilong doesn't have to be entangled, I won't force you to join me, I do have a way for your brother's illness."

"I grabbed you this time, and I just want to get acquainted with you!"

Xi Yu smiled, and then continued to speak.

"Don't hide it, this time our army will be withdrawn in a few days, and when that time comes, I will also let you go!"

"Telling you about this is not to blackmail you, but just as a friend's concern, it is really difficult for your brother to come to Japan, Zilong can come to Juancheng to find me at any time!"

Xi Yu did not hide it at all, and even informed Zhao Yun that Cao Jun would withdraw soon.

Zhao Yun, who heard this, was a little stunned.

didn't expect Xi Yu to even tell him such a thing, but he thought a little too much.

"Sir's kindness, Yun has written it down!"

Zhao Yun didn't say anything, and when he learned that his brother's illness had a solution, his mood was much more relaxed, and now he only had to go to Liu Bei to ask for leave and return to his hometown to visit his brother.

……

It's early December!

During this period, snow began to fall in the north, and while the heavy snow was resting, Cao Cao planned to start withdrawing his troops after solving Xuzhou's instructions.

Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan and others were temporarily placed in Xuzhou by Cao Cao.

Outside the city of Dongping.

Xi Yu personally sent Zhao Yun out of the city gate.

"Zilong, see you in the future!"

Nodding towards Zhao Yun, Xi Yu didn't say anything.

Zhao Yun also sighed a little, Xi Yu really wanted to let himself go as he said at the beginning.

"See you soon, sir!"

Arching his hand towards Xi Yu, Zhao Yun put away his spear and rode his horse directly in the direction of Xuzhou City.

At this moment, Cao Cao, who was standing on the Dongping city wall, was quite emotional.

Although Xi Yu told him that it would not be easy to subdue Zhao Yun, Cao Cao was still unwilling after all.

During this time, he gave gifts to Zhao Yun a lot, and even approached Zhao Yun by visiting Xi Yu.

It's just that all the gifts sent over were rejected by Zhao Yun.

When he went to visit Xi Yu, Zhao Yun avoided him even more.

Now watching Zhao Yun leave, Cao Cao sighed a little, this person is brave, but he can't use it for himself, it's really a pity.

At the same time, in the city of Xuzhou.

The news of Cao Jun's plan to withdraw from the army has been known to many people throughout Xuzhou.

However, now that most of Xuzhou has fallen, this can only be barely regarded as good news!

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

Where Liu Bei was stationed.

After learning the news that Cao Jun planned to withdraw his troops, Liu Bei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, regarding Zhao Yun's news, Cao Cao had responded to him before, but he didn't even reply later.

This made Liu Bei a little worried.

"Big brother, if you want me to see, Zhao Yun's kid is definitely taking refuge in Cao Cao!"

Zhang Fei snorted directly with his throat.

In his opinion, there has been no news for nearly a month, and Zhao Yun may have already joined Cao Cao!

Hearing this, Liu Bei subconsciously retorted.

"Yide, don't talk nonsense, Zilong is not that kind of person!"

Although he said this, Liu Bei did not have much confidence in his heart.

In the final analysis, the current Zhao Yun is actually not completely committed to him, Zhao Yun is just what he asked for from Gongsun Zhan!

The other party really served Cao Cao, and he didn't have anything to say.

About frowning: "Zilong, I can't help myself when I think about it!" ”

When Zhao Yun was captured by Xi Yu that day, Guan Yu's mood was a little heavy.

originally thought that there was only one person like Lu Bu in the world.

However, the appearance of Xi Yu has made Guan Yu a little trance until now.

I can't even take a blow, this, how is this possible!

Guan Yu didn't want to believe it in his heart, but this was the case, he was indeed repelled by Xi Yu with one blow that day.

If it weren't for the other party's murderous intent, I'm afraid Zhao Yun would not be the only one who was captured.

Zhang Fei didn't think about it that much.

"Hmph, I can't help myself, there's no news at all!"

"If you are really a loyal person, you would rather die than surrender!"

Zhang Fei pouted: "Didn't he surrender, or what?" ”

In Zhang Fei's opinion, Zhao Yun has no news at all now, if the other party would rather die than surrender, how can there be no news at all.

Seeing that his two brothers were calm, Zhang Fei didn't say anything, snorted coldly and turned around and walked out of the house.

At this moment, Zhao Yun, who learned from Xuzhou that Liu Bei Zhengtun lived in Xiapi, also rode a horse to Xiapi.

Just entered the city, and after learning about Liu Bei's residence, Zhao Yun rushed in the direction where the other party was as soon as possible.

From a distance, he saw Zhang Fei waving a spear not far away.

"Yide, I'm back!"

Zhao Yun shouted happily at Zhang Fei, and after the latter heard the voice, he turned his head and saw Zhao Yun coming from the horse.

Seeing the comer, Zhang Fei suddenly seemed to be in a rage.

"Thief, dare to come back!"

Ignoring Zhao Yun's face, seeing that Zhao Yun had just arrived, Zhang Fei directly raised his Zhangba spear and stabbed straight towards Zhao Yun.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun on the horse hurriedly blocked the blow with a gun.

"Yide, what do you mean by that?"

Zhao Yun was a little puzzled, he had just come back, and Zhang Fei stabbed at him, no one could understand who he was.

"Hmph, surnamed Zhao, haven't you already served Cao Cao?" Zhang Fei sneered: "What, when you come back at this time, do you still want to persuade us to join you to serve Cao Cao?" ”

As soon as he said this, Zhao Yun's heart couldn't help but feel cold.

He was captured for a month, and he never met Cao Cao in person, even if the other party visited, he also kept avoiding.

Although he knew that Zhang Fei had misunderstood him, who was willing to accept such a grievance, not to mention, he was only seconded to help, and he was not his Zhang Fei's subordinate.

"General Zhang misunderstood, Zilong has never served anyone!"
