As if he had made up his mind, the man named Zhao Xiongyuan stood there for a long time.
His eyes were like torches, staring closely at Lu Qinghou in front of him.
This situation seemed to make the young woman named Lu Lingqi beside Lu Qinghou a little uneasy. She moved slightly behind Lu Qinghou, and Lu Qinghou also stretched out his arm in time to block him slightly.
side.
It seems that he realizes that his gaze may make the other person nervous.
Zhao Xiongyuan quickly showed an embarrassed expression and explained to the other party:
"Ah...sister, don't be nervous...I...I actually didn't tell you something - now that I think about it, you two took such good care of me and failed to tell you before leaving. It's really...it goes against my principles as a human being.
.”
"Xiong Yuan, everyone has secrets. Some can be told and some cannot be told. This is natural - if you feel that telling this secret will not cause trouble to yourself, then you can naturally tell it. Otherwise,
Just listen to what Big Brother says...keep it in your heart."
This man named Lu Qinghou always does this.
Even though Zhao Xiongyuan has been with him for two months now, he still can't understand him - for such a man from the mountains, who makes a living by blacksmithing, why can he be so profound in his words every now and then?
"Yes...Xiong Yuan will follow the teachings of elder brother..."
Zhao Xiongyuan thought for a long time and did not notice the changes in the two people in front of him.
There are so many things that he doesn't know, such as... For example, it seems that his intense gaze just now frightened the weak woman. As the elder brother, Lu Qinghou naturally protected his sister... However, the fact is, if not
The man named Lu Qinghou stopped the woman behind him - the dagger that had been pulled out of Lu Lingqi's arms must have taken the life of the unsuspecting Zhao Xiongyuan.
Lu Qinghou silently waved his hand behind him, and then asked Lu Lingqi to take back the dagger.
It's time——
After Zhao Xiongyuan took a deep breath, he spoke again. When he opened his eyes, there was no longer much confusion in his eyes.
It was as if the sleeping lion in the past had finally turned over and straightened its body. Now, even his energy and spirit had undergone earth-shaking changes:
"I've thought about it, Brother Lu, sister, I must confess this matter to you... just because you saved me, Zhao Xiongyuan - no... you saved my life, Zhao Yun, and this kind of life-saving grace will be unforgettable in my life...
"
As he spoke, the man who once had the pseudonym Zhao Xiongyuan knelt down on one knee towards Marquis Lu Qing - matching his newly announced name: Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong... Throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty, only one person in the world could hold this name.
.
That is to say…
The person kneeling in front of Lu Qinghou at the moment was none other than Changshan Zhao Zilong, who was known as the gentian warrior under Liu Bei of Jingzhou.
Such an act of identifying oneself cannot be said to be ungrateful.
First of all, outside the city of Wuchang, it was still the territory of the Soochow people. On the territory of the Soochow people, a general from his own force suddenly appeared. No matter who he was, this was taboo for the Soochow people.
As long as there are people from Soochow who know about this matter - for example, the Marquis Lu Qing in front of him, who has the idea of geographical separation, he will often drive such people from Soochow to report the enemy situation one by one.
Not to mention the current person named Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong...
There is another reason…
And this reason can explain why Zhao Yun's situation is so dangerous now that he was injured before, and he had to change his name to Zhao Xiongyuan and stay in this mountainous place for two months——
At the beginning of the year, or at the end of last year... the people of Soochow, specifically Sun Quan, who had been recuperating for a year, because their desire to compete for Jiangling was getting stronger: In fact, this Jiangling land was originally proposed by Zhou Yu to temporarily give up.
For Liu Bei, now Liu Bei is not only occupying Jiangling and being dishonest, but he has also started to steadily encroach on the entire Jingzhou area based on this small city -
Not to mention that Liu Bei had a huge appetite before and thought about destroying Guo in a false way. In the name of going to Hanzhong to fight against Cao Cao, he intended to instigate Liu Zhang's close officials and annex Yizhou in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, Liu Bei was defeated.
After a year, Liu Bei was also recuperating.
But precisely because of this matter, even if Zhou Yu was not around, Sun Quan could see that Liu Bei, who had pretended to be a grandson in front of him, was definitely a very ambitious person.
To a certain extent, the other party is more greedy and shameless than me - seems to have scolded me?
But those are not important.
Sun Quan, who once again valued Liu Bei, promoted young civil servants and generals in a big way during Zhou Yu's absence, such as Lu Meng, who had not paid much attention to Juchao battlefield in the previous battle of Hefei, and led the Tiger Army to defeat
After defeating the powerful enemy, he moved around and wiped out the rising star of the cavalry brigade of General Le Jin of Cao Army near Niuzhu Port.
It can be said that Lu Meng was Soochow's only fig leaf in the battle of field fertilizer.
Without Lu Meng, that unsuccessful offensive and defensive battle would not have resulted in the frustrated withdrawal of the Soochow army. With Zhang Liao here, if the other party was allowed to show off the Xiaoyaojin God of War again, Sun Quan would still
With him leading Soochow, there will never be a chance of confronting Cao Jun in this life... It's hard to explain the psychological shadow for a while.
Of course, there are also a group of young people with lofty ideals, such as Lu Xun from the Lu family in Wu County - this man is young and promising, and he is the only one of the famous Lu family in Jiangdong who is close to Sun Quan.
There are only two purposes for promoting these people. One is to fill the gap left by Zhou Yu's temporary absence from the center of power, and the other is naturally to prepare for a break with Liu Bei.
As for Sun Quan, Zhou Yu is not as concerned about friendship. Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang are brothers who were suppressed by Yi Xiaotian. The kind of friendship between the two is indeed not something that can be exchanged for years.
Of course Sun Quan knew about this, and even because of Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and Sun Quan still had an alliance contract - but Sun Quan's desire for Jiangling, or more broadly, for the entire Nanjun, was basically no less than for Shouchun.
Desire... Now it is no longer realistic to fight against Hefei and Shouchun, so Sun Quan also wants to take advantage of Zhou Yu's return to break with Liu Bei, a weak persimmon who has suffered a defeat——
When Zhou Yu comes back, at least out of loyalty to himself, he will definitely put Soochow's interests first and then come to help him.
Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, Sun Quan is indeed not as shameless as Liu Bei, but in terms of cunning, he is no less generous.
Therefore, at the end of the 15th year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao was building the Tongque Tower in the north and handling political affairs in the rear, Sun Quan ordered Lu Meng to lead an army of 50,000 to directly attack Baqiu Port in Changsha.
The governor of Changsha at that time was still the original Han Xuan - he was entrusted with important tasks by Zhuge Liang who had recovered.
But the problem is that Zhuge Liang never thought that Sun Quan would surprise Changsha at such a time - Changsha was without the general Wei Yan: now Wei Yan was tightly tied to Zhuge Liang and was used as a personal guard, deprived in disguise.
took over all military power.
And Huang Zhong himself was stationed in the Yiling Wugang area. He would cooperate with Liu Bei's next strategy and seize Yong'an City first, and he would have no time to worry about the war in Changsha.
Therefore...the only general in the army who could rush to aid the Changsha war at that time was Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong who was stationed in Guiyang.
