Lu Xun had not recovered from the shock just now. Now that he was a little nervous, he could only ask Yi Xiaotian.
Yi Xiaotian walked up to him and patted his shoulder:
"Well, it's a bit strange. Logically speaking, the light cavalry led by Zhao Yun should have played a role in the frontal battlefield... Now going to Yangxian, it seems to be responsible for delaying our support... This is a bit inconsistent no matter how you think about it."
"Um...is that so?
Well…"
Lu Xun vaguely realized something.
Lu Meng and Zhu Ran on the side thought of it together:
"Sir... you mean, Zhao Yun was sold by Zhuge Liang?"
"Do you still remember what you told me when you came back from Jianye?"
Yi Xiaotian did not come to a conclusion, but he mentioned what happened before.
"That's natural. At that time, I led my army and encountered Zhao Yun, who was fighting alone at the east gate of the city. Out of caution, I ordered to surround them... but because... ahem..."
Everyone knew for some reason, but Yi Xiaotian didn't say it clearly at the time, but many people felt that Zhao Yun might have a close relationship with Yi Xiaotian.
"Keep talking."
Yi Xiaotian said it was okay and asked Lu Meng to continue.
"In short, after I discovered that the enemy general was Zhao Yun, I ordered my subordinates to deliberately expose a flaw, allowing Zhao Yun to lead his army to break through."
"The same thing happened later. After rescuing General Zhu, we quickly evacuated Jianye, and we haven't seen Zhao Yun again since then."
"good…"
Yi Xiaotian nodded and seemed to have no objection, but suddenly he changed the subject and said in a deep voice to several people:
"But have you ever thought about why Zhao Yun fought alone at that time?"
"Is... is it to share the pressure of their frontal attack on the city?"
Lu Meng was not sure, so he could only cast his gaze at Zhu Ran. Zhu Ran was the guard general in the city at that time, so he naturally had a better understanding of the situation at that time.
Yi Xiaotian also looked at Zhu Ran, as if he wanted Zhu Ran to explain the situation in person.
“Hiss… share the pressure of attacking the city from the front?
But at that time...I remember at that time, the first place we were attacked was from the direction of the East City Gate."
"I heard from several captains who were deployed in the east of the city at that time that Zhao Yun and the others risked their lives when they attacked the city... There was no intention of feinting at all..."
It was here that Yi Xiaotian suddenly snapped his fingers.
"Then I have another question, General Lu Meng... Do you remember what the morale of Zhao Yun and others was like when you surrounded them?"
"Well... when I think about it, I just felt that they were extremely frustrated at the time. In fact, before the actual battle started, those people were already somewhat scattered - it felt like they didn't have much fighting spirit..."
"ah!"
Lu Xun suddenly screamed, sweeping away his previous dejection, and swung his hands back and forth in the air, seeming to finally be in tune with Yi Xiaotian's thoughts.
"Sir! Are you saying...that there has been a gap among them for a long time?"
When Yi Xiaotian heard what Lu Xun said, he just smiled knowingly, but his heart was full of worries about Zhao Yun at this moment.
"I can't say for sure, but at least what the two generals saw that time in Jianye was not an illusion... Regardless of any conflicts in their military, one thing is certain... General Lu, you let Zhao Yun go."
This behavior not only failed to gain Zhao Yun's trust, but actually aggravated the conflict between them."
"Ah...this..."
Lu Meng's expression was a little embarrassed. He really didn't think of these things at the time.
Seeing that Lu Meng looked a little uncomfortable, Yi Xiaotian shook his head and said:
"This is not your fault. General Lu Meng does not need to blame himself... I can tell you now that Zilong and I have had a relationship. At least in my opinion, we have great trust in each other, just because of our positions.
Because of this, the relationship cannot continue.”
"But now it seems...perhaps this matter has been exposed through some unknown channel, and General Lu's subsequent behavior has intensified the suspicion between them."
"So, I'm afraid that Zhao Yun is once again in a situation where he is fighting alone and cannot retreat. This is his reaction to regain the trust of Zhuge Liang or Liu Bei."
"It's weird... it's stupid... but it's also understandable."
When he said the word "stupid", Yi Xiaotian's expression dimmed for a moment.
He didn't know how much Zhuge Liang knew about Zhao Yun's friendship with him.
But if... if Zhuge Liang uses Zhao Yun's life for this purpose and makes Zhao Yun's life worse than death, this... is the reason why Yi Xiaotian said that victory declaration.
In fact, Yi Xiaotian didn't know. Everyone saw his sullenness just now and basically knew Yi Xiaotian's mood at the moment.
"So that's it..."
"So, as Mr. said, we are really going to relieve General Zhao in this battle, right?"
Lu Xun said with a smile. He had regained his former composure, and at the same time made his declaration of victory.
Everyone smiled at each other, without any communication, and walked towards each other in a tacit understanding——
The enemy is so close that it is useless to talk. Once they come, they will fight.
However, when no one was paying attention, Yi Xiaotian walked down the city gate tower alone, his steps slow...and his eyebrows lowered.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
When Yi Xiaotian walked down the city wall, the figures that appeared in front of him were Ma Yunlu, Lu Lingqi and Huang Yueying.
Lu Lingqi saw Yi Xiaotian's mood and asked worriedly. Knowing that it was Lu Lingqi who asked the question, Yi Xiaotian smiled even more helplessly:
"Zilong... don't let loyalty harm you..."
"Zi...Zilong?
Something happened to Zhao Yun?
Sir! What is going on?"
As the only person who protected Yi Xiaotian during the trip to Jiangdong, Lu Lingqi and Zhao Yun also had a life-or-death friendship that should not be underestimated. In fact, Lu Lingqi had already told many sisters when they returned to the north.
Pass:
"Zhao Yun...he will definitely come to your side in the future...I have a hunch."
Now that Lu Lingqi heard what Yi Xiaotian said about Zhao Yun, she couldn't sit still... In her heart, Zhao Yun had already been a member of their villa.
If anything unexpected happened to Zhao Yun, she would definitely ask for an explanation personally.
"I'll tell you slowly... the war is about to begin, and we won't be needed here for the time being."
Yi Xiaotian rubbed Lu Lingqi's head, smiled tiredly at everyone, and led a few people away.
——
At the same time, Yang Xian...
Amidst the shouts of killing, Zhao Yun had already organized a second attack and killing.
However, because of the lessons learned from the past, Han Dang and Quan Cong did not give Zhao Yun a chance to charge into the formation. On one side, they used an army as a lure to induce Zhao Yun to pursue the enemy in depth, while on the other side, they sent an ambush force to conduct a ruthless attack on Zhao Yun's army.
Different long-range attacks——
This time, the Xiaoqi battalion led by Zhao Yun suffered heavy casualties.
Han Dang felt a little strange...
"Why is this Zhao Zilong so reckless?"
"Yeah... such a simple strategy will work. Could it be that he just had an empty reputation in the past?"
However, what they didn't know was that while tasting the blood, Zhao Yun's thoughts were already in chaos.
At this time, all he had left was his instinct—and the loyal belief in his heart.
As for whether it was right or wrong...he was no longer able to tell.
