General Cao was commanding his troops to storm the sparse forest.
Zhao Yun's sudden attack surprised him, and he quickly turned his head and stared. He saw Zhao Yun, who was like a tiger and his horse was like a dragon. He was like a tiger descending from the mountain and charging into the army. A big gun flew up and down, wherever it passed,
No one could stop his steps.
General Cao frowned, raised his sword and rode forward to meet him.
"General, please give me a common name!"
"This is Zhao Zilong from Changshan."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yun had already arrived in front of General Cao. The big spear in his palm struck Leng Ling when he was distracted. The spear was as fast as thunder and lightning. As soon as the shadow of the spear flew out, the big spear was in front of him. General Cao was also frightened.
He jumped, and hurriedly raised his sword to meet him. He heard a clang sound, and the sword and gun clashed with each other, making a crisp sound. A huge force came, making General Cao's hand go numb, and he almost took the sword out of his hand.
Huh?
But he is a fierce general!
As the saying goes, an expert can tell if there is anything as soon as he reaches out his hand.
A general at Zhao Yun's level can test out his opponent's depth in one turn.
"General Cao, what's your name?"
"A certain Cao Peng is here to meet you!"
Zhao Yun was startled and immediately became furious, "How dare someone who pretends to be someone else be so rampant?"
Speaking of which, General Cao is at a bit of a disadvantage.
His name is indeed Cao Peng, but it is not Cao Peng's 'Peng', but Cao Peng's 'Peng'. In terms of age, he is seven or eight years older than Cao Peng. In terms of seniority, he is one generation higher than Cao Peng. This is
Cao Peng is Cao Cao's younger brother and a fierce general. Moreover, he and Cao Peng also knew each other... When Cao Cao's grandmother, Mrs. Wu, Cao Teng's wife, went to Xuchang, Cao Peng and Cao Peng went together.
.However, Cao Peng was relatively low-key and not very eye-catching, so the person who mainly dealt with Cao Peng at that time was Xia Houen.
Because of the name 'Cao Peng', Cao Peng also held back his anger.
The names of the two people are homophonic, so there are often right and wrong numbers. Once, Cao Cao held a banquet in his mansion, and both Cao Peng and Cao Peng attended. However, someone present shouted "Cao Peng", and Cao Peng did not say a word.
But Peng stood up and made a lot of jokes.
Over the years, as Cao Peng's reputation has become more and more famous, Cao Peng has become even more embarrassed.
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized: He made a mistake again!
He really wanted to tell Zhao Yun that he was Cao Peng, not Cao Peng, and that he was not pretending to be someone else. But Zhao Yun was approaching with his gun and horse very fast, and Cao Peng was helpless. He raised his sword to greet Zhao Yun and stood with Zhao Yun.
Speaking of which, Cao Peng's martial arts skills are not bad, and he is almost at the level of a first-class military general. However, his personality is a bit reckless and irritable, and he has offended many people, so he has never risen to serve as a captain in the army. The reason why he appeared in Changchun this time
Banpo came with Cao Zhen... Cao Zhen was ordered to go to Xinye to obey orders, so Cao Peng stayed in the army and waited for Gao Lan's dispatch.
Liu Bei withdrew, and Gao Lan ordered Cao Peng to be the vanguard and responsible for pursuing Liu Bei.
When they arrived at Changbanpo, the situation was already chaotic. Without saying a word, Cao Peng led his troops into the battlefield and killed the refugees everywhere.
Unexpectedly, on the way, they met Xiang Lang, Xiang Tiao and his son who were protecting Mrs. Xiang and the second son Liu Li from fleeing.
Cao Peng didn't recognize Xiang Lang and his son, but looking at the ceremonial guards, he knew that these people had unusual identities, so he led his troops to surround them in the sparse forest.
According to Zhao Yun's idea, after he rushed into the rebel army, Xiang Lang and his son would lead his troops to take the opportunity to counterattack.
And Cao Peng's army was in a short period of chaos and could easily defeat the opponent... Although Cao Peng was brave and his killing method was extremely brave, in Zhao Yun's eyes, it was nothing. A big gun flew up and killed Cao Peng.
The friend's helmet is crooked and the armor is slanted, and he is in a miserable state...
However, there was no reaction from Xiang Lang and his son in the sparse forest.

"It's General Zilong here!"
Xiang Tiao is twenty-four or five years old. He is wearing a bright silver twisted lion helmet and bright silver swallowing beast armor. He is holding a sword and is fighting with Cao Jun.
Hearing Zhao Yun's cry, Xiang Tiao was overjoyed.
"Father, General Zilong has come to rescue us. Let's fight out."
"Wait a minute!"
Just when Xiang Tiao was about to rush out, he heard a female voice.
A young and beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes and a ring around her waist came forward under the protection of several personal followers. She stretched out her hand to stop Xiang Lang and said softly: "Father, if you go out at this time, you will definitely fight to the death;
Although General Long is brave, he may not be able to protect us completely. Now that he is holding Cao's army outside the forest, we can break out from the other side...Father, General Zilong, after all, is not of the same mind as us."
Xiangshi's words struck a chord with Xiang Lang.
Yes, Zhao Yun is loyal to Liu Bei, but he is not one of theirs.
Especially on the issue of Liu Chan and Liu Li, Liu Bei also asked Zhao Yun. Although Zhao Yun did not give a clear answer on the grounds that "the master's family affairs are not good for the general," but in private, Zhao Yun still talked to Mrs. Gan.
, Mrs. Mo walked closer.
The reason is very simple.
Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi have followed Liu Bei for a long time, and Zhao Yun is also an old minister of Liu Bei.
Especially at the stage when Liu Bei defected to Yuan Shao and the Battle of Guandu was ordered to protect Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi, Zhao Yun did his best. In contrast, he had no contact with the Xiang family. Even on weekdays, he rarely interacted with Xiang.
The children of the family come into contact with each other.
Xiang Lang immediately understood Xiang's thoughts.
At the same time, what Madam Xiang said is good. Outside this sparse forest, there is great danger. Even with Zhao Yun here, how can we guarantee everything? At this time, Zhao Yun has attracted the attention of Cao Jun, and it is time for them to break through. Although
This was a bit unethical, but for the sake of Liu Li and the safety of his grandson, it was not impossible to consider. Thinking of this, Xiang Lang no longer hesitated and nodded towards his wife.
"Send my order and break out to the south."
"Father, General Zilong is still outside..."
"I know!"
A hint of shame flashed in Xiang Lang's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Being able to take charge of a big family naturally has his own merits. This kind of shameless ability is a required course that every family head cannot acquire. Sometimes, one must erase his conscience and plan for himself. Now that he has
After joining Liu Bei, he naturally had to strive for the greatest benefit. And his biggest capital now was Mrs. Xiang's children. Therefore, Xiang Lang made the choice easily.
"Don't say any more, break out immediately.
General Zilong is very skilled in martial arts, how can Cao Jun block his way? If we don't act as soon as possible, we may fail General Zilong's wishes."
Although Xiang Tiao was dissatisfied, he could not oppose Xiang Lang's order.
He sighed and immediately commanded his men and horses to break through to the south. At this time, Zhao Yun was in the midst of the chaos and was inextricably killed. Although Cao Peng was not his opponent, he would not be able to win anytime soon.
What's important is that as time went by, more and more Cao troops swarmed in. More than a dozen Cao generals surrounded Zhao Yun and joined forces with Cao Peng. Zhao Yun gradually became exhausted.
"The enemy has broken through!"
"ah?"
Zhao Yun suddenly heard the shouts of Cao's soldiers and was stunned.
He didn't see Xiang Lang rushing out with his men. Could it be that...
This was on the battlefield, and there was no room for him to be half-hearted. Just in the blink of an eye, he saw Cao Peng urging his horse forward, and slashed at Zhao Yun with a round knife. At the same time, two Cao generals twisted their guns and came forward.
, stabbed Zhao Yun viciously. Zhao Yun was caught off guard and was almost hit by Cao Peng. But even so, he was injured by a Cao general's big gun. The gun blade tore his armor and landed on his shoulder.
A deep blood mark was left. The blood flowed out along the wound and instantly dyed Zhao Yun's clothes red...
Zhao Yun was angry!
He roared loudly, shot Cao Peng off his horse with a backhand shot, then pulled out the Jinghong Sword with his right hand, put the sword under the big gun, and stabbed Cao Peng straight.
Cao Peng ducked and avoided Zhao Yun's big gun.
Who knew that Zhao Yun had a back-up move... This was called Qianlijian in the spear technique, and it was also one of Zhao Yun's unique moves.
The moment Cao Peng flashed to dodge, Zhao Yun suddenly withdrew his sword and moved forward. Cao Peng tried to dodge again, but it was too late! There was only a click sound, and the extremely sharp Jinghong Sword cut off Cao Peng's head.
The other Cao generals were shocked when they saw this sudden change. Zhao Yun shouted sternly: "Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
With a pistol in his hand and a sword in his other hand, he rushed into the crowd, shooting with his left hand and sword in his right hand, carving a bloody path and running away.
The leader of Cao's army was killed, and five or six other generals were also killed. He couldn't help but feel fear in his heart. He saw Zhao Yun fleeing, but no one pursued him.
Zhao Yun fought his way out of the siege, covered in blood.
There was the enemy's blood, but also his own blood... From early morning to noon, he killed for a full afternoon. During this period, the water and rice were not eaten, and his physical strength was inevitably insufficient. However, he was not in a hurry to evacuate, but continued
Search for the whereabouts of Mrs. Moose among the rebels.
Xiang Lang carried him away and almost caused him to die. He could eat the emperor's salary and share the emperor's worries. He was loyal to Liu Bei... So, no matter what, he must find Mrs. Mi and the eldest son Liu Chan. If not, it is indeed true.
I'm ashamed of Liu Bei's regard for him. However, deep down in my heart, I can't help but feel a little cold... I went through all the trouble to relieve your worries, Xiang Lang. How could you just walk away from me like this?
Zhao Yun has an upright temperament, but he is not a fool.
If he couldn't figure out the reason at the beginning, then as time went by, he would be able to figure it out.
Could it be that it's because of the matter of establishing a direct descendant?
Zhao Yun is unwilling to participate in those messy things, but it does not mean that he is not aware of the intrigues involved. In fact, since the death of Xun Chen, the old Liu Bei forces and the emerging Jing Xiang faction have been entangled. Before.
, with Xun Chen here, relying on Xun Chen's qualifications and reputation, as well as his unparalleled family background, the two sides have always maintained a state of balance.
But after Xun Chen's death, although Zhuge Liang took the lead, he could not achieve the level of deterrence that Xun Chen had.
Before Xun Chen's death, both the Jingxiang faction led by Zhuge Liang and Ma Liang, and Liu Bei's veteran officials such as Zhang Fei, Chen and Mi Zhu all respected Xun Chen. Even Guan Erye, who had always underestimated scholar-bureaucrats and valued the common people, had great respect for him.
Xun Chen also maintained enough respect.
Unfortunately, after Xun Chen died, no one could take his place.
The birth of Liu Chan and Liu Li made this internal contradiction inadvertently become acute.
Zhao Yun doesn't understand why Liu Bei has been reluctant to establish a direct descendant. Maybe Liu Bei has his own considerations. After all, the foundation has not been completed yet, so establishing a direct descendant has become a joke. But the problem is, you think the foundation is not completed, but those who work under you
people have other considerations.
People are all selfish animals.
Even saints are not exempt from vulgarity...
Zhao Yun privately persuaded Liu Bei to finalize the decision as soon as possible.
Moreover, he used Yuan Shao as a negative example to persuade Liu Bei to make up his mind.
But Liu Bei's answer at the time was: Cao Cao has not yet established his heir, so why should I be in a hurry?
But the problem is that Cao Cao has enough ability to maintain his prestige in front of his ministers. And Liu Bei is known for his magnanimity and benevolence, which means he is destined to not be able to do whatever he wants like Cao Cao. Zhao Yun couldn't persuade Liu Bei, so he didn't do it.
Keep things in mind.
But I didn't expect it, and I don't know who spread the word that he supports Liu Chan.
Presumably, it was for this reason that Xiang Lang didn't want to go with him...
But in the current situation, do you still have to consider these things? You can't even save your life, but you still care about it... These Jingchu barbarians are indeed not people who can deal with big things. Zhao Yun was full of resentment in his heart, and in his subsequent actions,
But it became more and more fierce.
I wandered around Changbanpo for a long time, but could not find any trace of Mrs. Mi.
When the general was about to fall, the number of Cao's troops on the Changban slope was increasing, making Zhao Yun afraid to stay any longer.
In history, he once entered and exited seven times on Changban Slope, killing countless Cao soldiers and generals; now, he still entered and exited seven times on Changban Slope, and also killed Cao soldiers and Cao soldiers and fled. Zhao Yun decided to retreat first.
Go to Dangyang Bridge and meet up with Zhang Fei. At this time, the battle on Changban Slope is coming to an end. With the continuous arrival of Cao's troops, the resistance of Liu Bei's tribe is getting weaker and weaker...
And Zhang He and Gao Lan have two different personalities.
The difference between him and Gao Lan is that he can listen to Cao Peng's persuasion.
After Cao Peng recalled the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he persuaded Zhang He to focus on recruiting as much as possible and do less killing. This was also a time to build reputation for Cao Cao... Not all of those refugees left their homes willingly. The harder you kill, the more you kill.
, the more fierce their resistance becomes.
But if you can use both soft and hard tactics, you can quickly end the war.
Now that the war is about to end, it doesn't make much sense for Zhao Yun to continue to stay.
He has traveled all over Changban Slope, but has yet to find any trace of Mrs. Mi... Come to think of it, Mrs. Mi has either escaped or is in danger... Zhao Yun admits that he has tried his best.
After breaking out of the siege once, he whipped his horse and whipped away.
Dangyang Bridge is just ahead.
As long as we reach Dangyang Bridge, we are safe!
Zhao Yun was so exhausted that he almost lay on the horse, relying on his willpower to force the horse to move forward.
In the distance, the flow of the Dangyang River could be heard. Zhao Yun's spirit could not help but be lifted up! But at this moment, he suddenly heard a cry of killing coming from the front. It sounded a bit far away, but
It was exactly where the Dangyang Bridge was. Zhao Yun couldn't help being startled. He quickly cheered up and looked ahead. He saw wolf smoke billowing in the direction of Dangyang Bridge, and the shouts of killing became increasingly clear.
problem occurs!
Zhao Yun was suddenly shocked.
He didn't care that the men were tired and the horses were exhausted, so he forced the horses to gallop.
Before he could reach Dangyang Bridge, he saw a group of soldiers and horses approaching in a panic. Zhao Yun recognized that they were his own soldiers and horses. The leader was a military lord who was not unfamiliar, named Fu Shiren. This Fu Shiren,
His courtesy name is Junyi, so he can be regarded as an old minister of Liu Bei.
Fu Shiren was from Guangyang, Youzhou. As early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cheng Yuanzhi attacked Zhuojun and defected to Liu Bei.
For twenty years, he followed Liu Bei to fight in the north and south, conquering east and west. He did not achieve any great achievements, but he could be regarded as never leaving. This guy was very lucky. He could survive many times when Liu Bei was in trouble. However,
I don’t have any great skills, so I never get up or down.
Now he is in the army and holds the position of military prince.
However, many army commanders and even the captain respected him very much.
Fu Shiren knew Zhao Yun. When he saw Zhao Yun from a distance, he shouted loudly: "General Zilong, go quickly, go quickly..."
"Junyi, what's going on?"
Zhao Yun stepped forward to block Fu Shiren's way, but saw that Fu Shiren also had his armor crooked and looked very embarrassed.
"The lord is defeated, the lord is defeated!"
"ah?"
When Zhao Yun heard this, he became anxious.
He grabbed the reins of Fu Shiren's horse and asked sternly: "Jun Yi, what's going on? Please explain it to me clearly..."
Fu Shiren turned his head and looked at it, and then replied hastily: "You should know that my lord is attacking Jiangling."
"I know."
"Originally, my lord thought that Jiangling was not difficult.
Unexpectedly, Cao Peng had already ordered his general Huang Zhong to surrender Lai Gong in Jiangling and seize Jiangling... Seeing that the attack failed, the lord prepared to attack by force. Unexpectedly, Cao Peng's general Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang suddenly crossed the Han from Zhangshan.
The water attacked the protagonist behind him. The protagonist was attacked from both sides by Cao's army. Fortunately, General Chen Dao protected him to the death, and he escaped with his military advisor and dozens of other cavalry, but now his whereabouts are unknown.
After Huang Zhong and Wei Yan reunited, they led their troops to attack Dangyang.
The three generals were caught off guard. Cao Peng led a group of troops and launched an attack at the same time. The three generals are now trapped in a tight siege...General Zilong, the situation is over. Come with me quickly. Really.
No, we can go to Jiangxia first and report to the Second General."
Zhao Yun's head was buzzing and confused all of a sudden!
His eyes widened and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time...
The lord was defeated? Like the military advisor, his whereabouts are unknown? How is that possible!
But he also knew that this matter was most likely true... He had heard of both Wei Yan and Huang Zhong because of that. He had fought with Huang Zhong before when they were fighting for the gate in Xiangyang. That old man
Although Huang Zhong is old, he is proficient in swordsmanship and horsemanship, and he does not look like an old pawn at all...
Zhao Yun believed that if he and Huang Zhong fought, it would be difficult to win or lose within three hundred days. After three hundred days, he would be able to win.
"General Zilong, leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Fu Shiren kept persuading Zhao Yun, but did not notice that Zhao Yun's eyes gradually turned cold.
"Jun Yi, my lord and I have had the kindness to meet each other, but now, how can I abandon him and leave?"
"But……"
"If you want to leave, then leave." Zhao Yun took a deep breath, tightened the shirt wrapped around the wound on his shoulder, and grasped the silver gun in his hand.
"I will fight to the death to rescue Yide."
After saying that, Zhao Yun urged his horse to leave.
Fu Shiren wanted to persuade him again, but after being glanced at by Zhao Yun's cold eyes, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Forget it, you are going to die, why should I stop you?
Rushing to Dangyang Bridge now is no different from sending yourself to death!
