Chapter 670: An Honest Man Who Has Never Been Beaten by Society
"I..."
Zhao Yun was immediately excited after hearing this. He really didn't expect that Cao Ning would value him so much.
He would actually give such an important task to a general who had just surrendered.
For a moment, the excitement in Zhao Yun's heart was beyond words.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his hands seriously and said: "Thanks to Mr. Cao for not giving up, Yun Gan has done the hard work of his dogs and horses, and he will definitely live up to the great trust."
After saying that, Zhao Yun immediately knelt down on one knee to show his sincerity.
"Zilong, please get up quickly!"
Kong Ming helped Zhao Yun up in time and nodded happily: "My lord, getting Zilong is like adding wings to a tiger."
"But Zilong, this trip to Humen Pass is extremely dangerous!"
"Although you are facing a group of broken soldiers, they are all elites that Dong Zhuo has carefully cultivated over the years, and their number will definitely not be small. You must not be careless."
Dong Zhuo sent a total of 40,000 troops this time. According to Cao Ning's calculations, even if the coalition forces were defeated, his troops would not be less than half.
In other words, Zhao Yun had to rely on the thousand men and horses he originally brought to hold off dozens of times the defeated army. You can imagine the difficulty.
"Please don't worry, my lord, military advisor. Although I, Zhao Yun, have just surrendered, I am not a clay figure. I will go back and gather the troops and attack Humen Pass immediately."
After saying that, Zhao Yun turned around and was about to leave in a hurry, but was held back by Kong Ming.
"Zilong, don't be anxious!"
Kong Ming explained with a smile: "My lord knows that this battle is very dangerous, so I specially prepared 12 mortars for you. You can pick them up at the military supply office when you go out later."
"In addition, my lord knows that Dong Zhuo's cavalry is a problem, so he specially found a helper for you."
"helper?"
Zhao Yun looked at the empty tent and was puzzled.
...
Cheng Yaojin, who had just left the tent, looked familiar at the tiger-faced general who entered the tent later. He looked like the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
"Strange, that person looked familiar just now. Why does he look so much like Xu Hubo to me?"
"Xu Amber? Lao Cheng, who is that person you are talking about?"
Li Kui put his hand on Cheng Yaojin's shoulder curiously. The more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong: "You mean that person just now? Hey, that's not right, he looks unfamiliar? Damn it, he couldn't be a spy... Then what?
OK, I'll go and find him right now."
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t do this, Big Hei!”
Cheng Yaojin pulled Li Kui and explained: "Xu Amber is the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Brother Ning. He is in charge of 20,000 elites."
"What, 20,000 elites, aren't there only 3,000 wolf warriors? Where did you get this news? Is it true or false?"
At this time, Zhang Fei next to him was anxious!
He only knew that Cao Ning had three thousand mysterious Wolf Cavalry special forces, but he had never heard of any other Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
"I said, Lao Cheng, you haven't told me how you met Brother Ning? Also, do you know any secrets? Tell me about it?"
"Yes, are you hiding something from us, or did you just lie to us?"
"Oh, I didn't lie to you. What I said is true. This is what I saw with my own eyes."
With that said, Cheng Yaojin told the two old brothers what happened in the ancient tomb, and the two big black heads were stunned for a moment.
"I'm going, there's still this matter, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Zhang Fei smacked his mouth in embarrassment, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look at the tent behind him, "Oh my goodness, it seems that Brother Ning really hides everything."
"Isn't that necessary? Let me tell you... Hey, who, who hit me?"
Just when Cheng Yaojin was bragging, a pebble flying from nowhere hit his big black head.
He quickly looked back, but found nothing.
But when he turned around again, another stone flew from nowhere.
"Hey, who hit me? Come out, believe it or not, Grandpa Cheng chopped off your hand."
"Lao Cheng, are you hallucinating? There are no stones here!"
"That's it, why didn't anyone hit us two? You must have done too many bad things and had hallucinations... Oh, no, you hit me in real life."
Next to him, Zhang Fei and Li Kui were listening enthusiastically, but were suddenly interrupted, mistakenly thinking that Cheng Yaojin was deliberately showing off.
Just when they were about to join forces to play a trick on him, two more stones flew over, but this time they were hit by them.
"Damn, I got hit too!"
"Look, I'm not talking nonsense!"
"Whoever hit me, please stand up for me!"
"That's right, you can't be a man if you stab someone in the back. If you have the ability, come out and challenge me."
"Hahaha, you idiots, you are so stupid that you can't even hide."
The hearty laughter suddenly came from the roof, making the three old black men stunned for a while.
If you listen carefully, the voice sounds a bit familiar.
"Holy crap, could it be..."
Zhang Fei stared at the two people around him with wide eyes.
The other two people also stared with big eyes, not even daring to blink.
"Run!"
The next second, the three of them ran away as if they had seen a ghost.
But before they could run far away, they heard the man on the roof speak again.
"Huh, you guys try it out here. Do you believe I will come back to settle accounts with you one by one?"
This sentence was indeed useful. The three people who had just ran a few meters away felt their hearts skip a beat, and they immediately came back.
Just like that, the three stupid idiots stood under the eaves and giggled, not daring to show any temper at all.
"What about that, little aunt, didn't you follow Brother Ning on the boat, and when did you run to the roof again?" Zhang Fei greeted with a smile.
Zhao Xiaotuan sat on the roof, crossed his legs and raised his little head: "Huh, I want you to take care of it!"
Since Zhao Xiaotuan came to the village, the three big bosses have been living in dire straits every day.
Not only were Zhao Xiaotuan's hidden snacks often stolen, but they were also often teased by her, which made them miserable.
So much so that when they heard Zhao Xiaotuan's voice, the legs of these three people were trembling with fear.
"What are you afraid of? I don't eat people!"
Zhao Xiaotuan stood up and said with a naive smile: "Then what... I heard that you are going to go out to fight? Or you can take me with you?"
"No no no..."
The three big guys shook their heads together.
Taking such a young ancestor out, causing trouble is secondary. If something really went wrong, Cao Ning would have to throw them into the frying pan.
"What, you don't agree? Humph, just wait for me!"
Zhao Xiaotuan twisted his neck and looked around for a way down.
And the three stupid guys below immediately panicked!
If she were allowed to come down, she would definitely be tortured terribly.
Thinking of this, the three of them ran away in unison, fearing that the little ancestor would follow them.
"Hey, you...why are you running away...come back, come back to me, hum..."
Zhao Xiaotuan looked at the groups of people hurriedly leaving Dazhai, and she stood on the roof and stamped her feet in anger.
"Military advisor, please don't worry, Yun will prepare now!"
Just when Zhao Xiaotuan was pouting and sulking, Zhao Yun came out of the tent.
When Zhao Xiaotuan saw Zhao Yun, he immediately saw hope.
"That...handsome guy, hi, here, here!" Zhao Xiaotuan greeted with a naive smile.
"You, are you calling me?" Zhao Yun looked at the roof and pointed at himself blankly.
Zhao Xiaotuan smiled and nodded: "What, can you help me find a ladder? I can't find the way down."
"Ah, oh!"
Zhao Yun did it immediately without even thinking about it.
Looking at the honest Zhao Yun, even Zhao Xiaotuan couldn't help but sigh silently.
"Oh, he is another honest person who has never experienced any beating from society. What a sin!"
