Chapter 21 If Zilong doesn't come out, what can he do if he is like a common man?
Zhao Yun looked at "Lu Jiu" with complicated eyes.
There is nothing wrong with this explanation itself, after the collapse of the ruling system of the imperial court + assassin Shi Taishou at the end of the Han Dynasty, the ruling system of the state pastor + the family took its place. Under this system, Tao Qian is nominally the controller of Xuzhou, but in fact he is only governing Xuzhou together with various forces in Xuzhou.
Once Tao Qian is unable to coordinate the contradictions of the various factions in Xuzhou, then the state pastor will also sit at the end.
In the same way, it was precisely because Liu Bei did not coordinate the balance of the three factions that the rebellion of the Yangzhou faction and the inaction of the local faction in Xuzhou led to the loss of Xuzhou.
In that case, Xuzhou would definitely be lost. Either the major forces in Xuzhou defected to Cao Cao, and Xuzhou became Cao Cao's territory; Either the major forces in Xuzhou defected to Yuan Shu, and Xuzhou became Yuan Shu's territory. Lu Bu just took an opportunity to "get the moon first near the water".
This is also the main reason why Liu Bei was able to shake hands with Lu Bu and make peace with Lu Bu and garrison Xiaopei for more than two years after losing Xuzhou.
But the problem that makes Zhao Yun entangled is not here, but the person who said this.
Zhao Yun has been out of the mountain for more than ten years, these years have traveled from south to north, fought on the battlefield, and seen countless heroes and talents, and have already trained a pair of eyes as sharp as eagle eyes. The seemingly reasonable explanation of "Lu Jiu" is the biggest unreasonable!
Because of what the latter said, from the sixth year of Zhongping to the sixth year of Zhongping, Lu Bu punished Ding Yuan, killed Dong Zhuo, and captured Xuzhou in the second year of Xingping, what happened in the past seven years, except for Lu Bu and the parties Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and Liu Bei, who can know so clearly?
And Ding Yuan Dong Zhuo is dead, and Liu Bei is currently defecting to Cao Cao and is in Xuchang.
So who is the person in front of you who knows all the details of Lu Bu's journey along the way?
What's more, this person's weapon is still an iron halberd!
Zhao Yun couldn't help frowning and carefully looked at Lu Jiu in front of him. Lu Jiu was about thirty years old, with sword eyebrows and high nose, and his angular cheeks had the redness left by the sun's exposure to the northerners all year round.
Northerners (✓)
Last name Lu (✓)
Use the Iron Halberd (✓)
Height of 9 feet (✓)
If this person's martial arts are not weak, then his identity is about to come out.
For the sake of prudence, Zhao Yun took the opportunity to practice the halberd method with Lu Jiu, and tried a few tricks without revealing the mountain.
At the beginning, "Lu Jiu" fended off his attack left and right. The action is very stiff, back and forth is so many moves, left block, right block, up block, down block, and there is always a "panicked" look on his face, not at all like a high-force person.
However, Zhao Yun noticed that this guy always unconsciously clenched the handle of the gun with both hands when blocking, which was the action of a high-force martial artist before trying to counterattack when he sensed a wonderful counterattack, and it was also the memory of every high-force person hidden deep in his muscles.
This guy is not weak in force!
After coming to this conclusion, Zhao Yun quietly accelerated the speed of his attack.
But Lu Jiu withstood his attack!
The two sides immediately fought back and forth.
As the fighting movements of the two became faster and faster, it was soon dazzling, and it was impossible to see the specific moves, and only the impact of the weapon "clang" could be heard.
For safety reasons, both men used wooden guns.
However, this attack speed can still deal some damage if it hits the body.
Lu Bu endured it for a month, and today he finally couldn't help it, and was aroused by Zhao Yun's superb marksmanship.
So he let go of his hands and feet, and fought with Zhao Yun in the dust.
The fierce fighting sound attracted the attention of the nearby villagers who practiced martial arts, and twenty or thirty villagers stopped their movements and gathered over with wooden guns, watching the martial god in their minds and an apprentice fight inseparably, they were surprised and cheered loudly.
"Good~ Wow!"
"Well played, Lu Jiu!"
"Zilong, don't release the water, knock him down...!"
"Lu Jiu resists~!"
“……”
In the fierce fight, the two completely blocked the surrounding noise, and fought very seriously with one move.
The scene was evenly divided.
This guy is not under my force... After fighting for a while, Zhao Yun secretly made a judgment, put away the gun and retreated, just about to reveal Lu Bu's identity, but saw Lu Bu take the lead in arching his hand.
"Zilong is so good at martial arts, I admire it."
Zhao Yun silently looked at the straightforward and hearty smile on Lu Bu's face, and suddenly he was a little uncertain, this person in front of him was really the legendary heroic Lu Bu who killed people without blinking?
The world is rumored to have such a big deviation from hearsay?
The huge contrast between this Lu Bu in front of him and the Lu Bu in hearsay couldn't help but remind Zhao Yun of a story that circulated in ten miles and eight towns.
The protagonist of the story is a scholar from a poor family, who has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has outstanding intelligence. Due to the difficulties of the family, he had to come to a large family to be a husband to support the family. When the lord saw that he was of good character and capable, they sponsored him to study and married his daughter to him. Later, this scholar became filial piety and served as the local county magistrate. He and his wife are very affectionate, grow old together, and the two have many children.
But because this scholar once offended the villain, he was said to be a dwarf and poor man like "three inches and dead bark", and his wife was also said to be synonymous with "charming", "lewdness" and "viciousness". To this day, it is still a model of "bad woman" that people talk about after dinner.
Could it be... Lu Bu's bad reputation for being "violent and wanton" also came from this?
Zhao Yun's heart was full of doubts.
In the month he spent with Lu Jiu, that is, Lu Bu, he really didn't see anything about Lu Bu that had anything to do with "violent and wanton".
"Your Excellency is Wenhou Lu Bu."
Zhao Yun went straight to the point and clarified his identity.
Lu Bu nodded generously, "Zilong has good eyesight, and it is Lu Bu below." ”
"Long admiration."
Zhao Yun bowed back, his face was very calm.
Lu Bu is indeed a hero of the world. But he Zhao Yun is not bad, he doesn't have to grovel and greet him with a smile.
Compared with Zhao Yun's calmness, the surrounding villagers were much more excited, and Qi Qi gasped.
"Hiss~!!"
Then they all gathered around, looking Lu Bu up and down with hot and adoring eyes.
Lu Bu is a celebrity in the world.
It was unimaginable that a living, moving and smiling Lu Bu was actually standing in front of them at this moment.
Unbelievable!!
Lu Bu looked at Zhao Yun with a smile, "Zilong knows my identity, so he must have guessed my intention, right?" ”
As he spoke, he threw away the wooden gun and made a deep gesture to Zhao Yun: "The country is out of order, the world is in chaos, and I hope Zilong will come out of the mountain to help me and save the people of the world from fire and water." ”
Zhao Yun looked straight at Lu Bu, and the old, violent and unruly image of Lu Bu in his mind collapsed instantly, and then quickly reorganized, replaced by a new Lu Bu image of "gentle and courteous", "polite corporal", "not aggressive", "not good for drinking", exuding personality radiance.
However, this was not enough for him to recognize the latter as his lord.
After a little hesitation, Zhao Yun still shook his head, his voice was neither excited nor disappointed, "The small people of the mountains and fields have no intention of being born, the general, please go back." ”
"If Zilong doesn't come out, he will be like the common people!"
Lu Bu couldn't hide his disappointment, but there was no surprise in his heart, before he came, he knew that Zhao Yun was not so easy to recruit, after all, Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei in history, and if he wanted to intercept Liu Bei's Hu, how could he do it without some effort?
Therefore, Lu Bu made up his mind to visit Zhaojia Village three times from the beginning.
If it's not enough...
Then look around, five, seven.
In this world, not only good women are afraid of the long man, but also good men are afraid of the long man.
Facing Lu Bu's ardent expectations, Zhao Yun turned his back and was unmoved.
But I changed my rhetoric a bit.
"It's getting late today, Wen Hou will stay here for the night, and let's go on the road tomorrow."
“……”
After confessing their identities, the two couldn't sleep on their feet.
Soon it was the next day.
Suddenly darkness reigned between heaven and earth.
When I came back to my senses, the time returned to the first day of the time traveled - the late night of October 29 in the third year of Jian'an, that is, the early morning of October 30.
Lu Bu was still sitting bare-chested on the bed in the inner room of the Pastoral Mansion of Xiapicheng Prefecture, and Yan, who still had the charm, was sleeping soundly by his side.
For Yan, this night was particularly wonderful.
For Lu Bu, this night seems to be extraordinarily long, and he can't wait for dawn.
