Chapter 154 Zhao Yun meets the lord

"Military advisor, Zilong, I've been waiting for you day and night, and finally I've got you back!"

Liu Bei seemed very happy to see Zhou Xing and Zhao Yun again. He hurried forward, holding one by the other, and was very excited.

Zhou Xing's trip to Jizhou can be said to be very successful. He was able to persuade Zhang Yan to lead his troops south, forced Yuan Shao to retreat from Yijing, allowed Gongsun Zan to rescue the siege, and persuaded Zhao Yun to return to Qingzhou together.

This trip to Jizhou is so worth it!

It's nothing to force Yuan Shao to retreat and Gongsun Zan to rescue the siege. The main reason is that Zhou Xing can persuade Zhang Yan this time. When needed again in the future, perhaps Zhou Military Advisor can persuade the other party again.

Zhang Yan's strength in Jizhou cannot be ignored. If you want to capture Jizhou, it will be much easier if Zhang Yan helps.

"Zilong, how are you after a few years apart?"

Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun, his eyes full of excitement.

Zhao Yun suddenly knelt down and saluted Liu Bei: "Zhao Yun pays homage to my lord!"

The sudden move surprised Liu Bei. He was surprised and happy.

Zhao Yuneng came to Qingzhou with Military Advisor Zhou, indicating that he had promised to assist him, but he did not expect that the other party would worship him as soon as they met.

"Zilong, get up quickly!" Liu Bei quickly helped Zhao Yun up, "With Zilong's help, the world can be settled and the Han Dynasty can prosper!"

Along the way, Zhao Yun listened to Zhou Xing's detailed account of Liu Bei's recent years in Qingzhou, and knew that they all called Liu Bei their lord, so he bowed down and recognized him as lord upon meeting him.

"Did you encounter Yuan Tan's troops on the road?" Liu Bei asked with concern.

Yuan Tan has just been defeated. If Zhou Xing and others come back from Jizhou, they should meet him.

Zhou Xing replied: "We did encounter them, so we took a detour and entered the city from the south."

"Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses were scattered in all directions. Didn't you encounter them while walking on the trail?" Jian Yong asked.

"We encountered them too, but with Zilong around, there were some enemy soldiers, so we were naturally not afraid. They were all killed and driven back by Zilong."

As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, Zhao Yun quickly answered: "My lord, I didn't expect Zhou's military advisor to have such a high level of force. Even without me, Zhou's military advisor can kill and drive away the enemy soldiers."

Zhao Yun truly appreciated Zhou Xing's military power.

"Zilong, tell me quickly, how many enemy soldiers did Zhou's military advisor kill?"

Zhang Fei had always wanted to compete with Zhou Xing in martial arts before, but failed. Now he heard Zhao Yun say that Zhou Xing's military advisor was very powerful, which aroused his interest again.

"Zhou's military advisor didn't kill many enemy soldiers, but he did it cleanly and neatly, which makes Yun admire him!" Zhao Yun replied.

"Hahaha..." Zhang Fei suddenly laughed and said, "Commander Zhou, I want to compete with you when I return to the city."

Zhou Xing doesn’t want to compare with him, he will definitely lose anyway.

"Captain Zhang, how many enemy soldiers did you kill during Yuan Tan's defeat?" Zhou Xing quickly asked Zhang Fei, wanting to change the subject.

"That's countless. I don't know how many enemy soldiers I killed, but I can tell you that I killed Yuan Tan's general Yan Jing." Zhang Fei said proudly.

"Captain Zhang beheaded Yan Jing?"

Zhou Xing only knew that Liu Bei had won, but he didn’t know how to win or what the outcome was.

"Yes, military advisor, let's go into the city and discuss it in detail."

Liu Bei welcomed Zhou Xing, Zhao Yun and others into the city. He first settled in Zhao Yun's wife and children, and then held a banquet in the mansion to welcome them.

Zhou Xing first reported to Liu Bei in detail what happened in Jizhou, and then told Liu Bei about the rout he encountered on the road.

"I should have sent someone to meet the military advisor and Zilong, but I was negligent and almost killed you!" After hearing this, Liu Bei deeply blamed himself.

He thought that he knew that Zhou Xing and Zhao Yun were about to rush to Beihai, so he should have sent troops to respond in advance.

If Zhou Xing and Zhao Yun met not more than a hundred people, but more than a thousand people, the consequences would be really unpredictable.

No matter how fierce Zhao Yun and his military advisors are, they can't defeat more than a thousand people no matter what.

However, thinking this way, Liu Bei also knew that if he encountered more than a thousand defeated troops, Zhou's military advisor would definitely be able to deal with it. He would not be able to defeat it, but he could avoid it.

Zhou Xing said quickly: "My lord, please don't blame yourself. Yuan Tan's troops are approaching the city, and our schedule is difficult to determine. If my lord sends troops and horses to meet him, it may attract Yuan Tan's attention and attract more enemy soldiers. Moreover,

We didn't expect Yuan Tan to be defeated so quickly!"

"Commander Zhou, Zilong, I'd like to toast you!"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he quickly raised his glass to toast Zhou Xing and Zhao Yun.

Zhou Xing and Zhao Yun toasted and drank together.

Jian Yong smiled at this time and said: "Zhou's military advisor, the reason why Yuan Tan was defeated so quickly was mainly because of Yide's single cavalry pursuit into the enemy camp!"

Jian Yong could tell that Zhang Fei's timely toast was to show off his achievements to Zhou Xing and others, but he was too embarrassed to say it, so he had to help him out.

"It's a pity that Yuan Tan ran away!"

Zhang Fei drank another drink, seemingly unwilling to do so.

"What's going on?"

Zhou Xing still doesn’t understand this secret battle.

Liu Bei looked at Taishi Ci and asked him to explain the matter in detail.

Taishi Ci nodded and told Zhang Fei how he rushed into the formation and how he chased into the enemy camp, including the details of Zhang Fei's own words about beheading Yan Jing.

"Thankfully Yuan Tan escaped!"

After listening, Zhou Xing sighed with emotion.

Liu Bei understood what Military Advisor Zhou was worried about, but Zhang Fei did not. He stared at Zhou Xing and asked, "Commander Zhou, what do you mean by this? Is it a good thing that Yuan Tan ran away?"

"Of course it's a good thing, Lieutenant Zhang, we can't kill Yuan Tan yet!" Zhou Xing felt lucky again.

"Why?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Yide, with our current strength, we simply cannot resist Yuan Shao. If Yuan Tan dies, Yuan Shao will definitely come with a large army. We can save Gongsun Bogui, but Gongsun Bogui may not come to save us. Here we come.

It may not be possible to save him. Yuan Tan is defeated but will not die. Although Yuan Shao is angry, he will not lead the army himself." Zhou Xing explained.

"It doesn't matter if Yuan Shao personally leads the army, I can still defeat him."

Zhang Fei was dissatisfied and thought that Military Advisor Zhou was too afraid of Yuan Shao.

"Yide, our immediate priority is to capture Qingzhou, not to attract strong enemies. Only after we capture the land of Qingzhou and strengthen our troops, we will have no worries about killing Yuan Shao or Yuan Tan." Zhou Xing added.

Soothingly.

"What Military Counselor Zhou said is that Yuan Shao is very powerful at this time, and we'd better not lure him here." Liu Bei agreed with Zhou Xing's words, and asked, "Commander Zhou, Yuan Tan has been defeated, should we pursue him?"

"How is the situation in Donglai? Have Liaodong soldiers crossed the sea?"

Zhou Xing needs to first understand the situation in Donglai before he can determine what to do next.

"The Liaodong soldiers have crossed the sea and are currently surrounding Huangxian City. Gongsun Kang is leading the army with 10,000 troops and horses." Liu Bei said.

"Since Donglai is surrounded by Liaodong soldiers, we should first relieve the siege of Donglai. Yuan Tan's defeat this time shows that he is weak and the plain can be breached at any time. Only when Donglai is free from danger can we safely mobilize our troops to the west!

”

Liu Bei nodded in agreement.

Zhou Xing also made an agreement with Liu Bei and others, and he, Zhao Yun and Liu Zheng, led five thousand troops to aid Donglai.
