There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"General Zhang!" Yan Xing cupped his hands at Zhang Ji with a smile, and said, "When I was in Jincheng, I had heard about the might of the general for a long time, but I only regretted not being able to see it. Today, it is really an honor in my life to be able to worship the general's face. Great luck!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ji quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't dare, dare not, General Yan is the chief general, and Ji is the deputy general. If General Yan said so, wouldn't it mean that he was dissatisfied with Ji? Ji is old, how can he be compared to General Yan? young hero!"

"General Zhang, don't be overly modest!" Yan Xing grabbed Zhang Ji's hand, walked into the tent, and said, "This time when the Huainan Army was robbed, Sikong sent a general to help. Seeing that a certain person is inexperienced and not mature enough, I asked General Zhang to guide me. Both the general and the line are from Liangzhou, so there is no need to say modest words!"

Zhang Ji laughed loudly when he heard the words: "It's rare that General Yan acts so prudently at such a young age. Sure enough, Cao Sikong saw the right person!"

The sunny smile on Yan Xing's face was bright, but frost had already appeared in his heart.

Of course Cao Sikong was right... If he was wrong, how could I take the opportunity to kill you?

Chapter 432 The Destined Partner

On the west line of Xuzhou, in the county government office of Wu County.

"Has Yuan Yao and the others come towards our county?" Zhuge Liang swung his feather fan, looking at his subordinates who reported to him indifferently, without any sign of impatience.

"Exactly! Yuan Yao, along with Liu Pi, Gong Du, Zhou Cang, the great tycoons of the Yellow Turbans from Runan, and their soldiers and horses, their families and people, numbering no less than [-] to [-] people, are heading towards the territory of our county... the county lord , what should we do now?"

Zhuge Liang stood up and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the teacher has already made preparations! You quickly send someone to send an urgent document to Pengcheng, inform the teacher of Yuan Yao's eastward direction, and then organize all the soldiers and horses in the county to guard Staying on the main road going north, you can't let Yuan Yao and others pass by, you must hold them back and wait for the arrival of the teacher's army... In addition, send someone to the nest hill to inform my senior brother, let him also prepare and deal with it carefully, so as not to be lost."

The head of the county official who reported was a bit slow, and asked Zhuge Liang suspiciously after hearing the words: "Master, who is your brother?"

Zhuge Liang looked at the county official very speechlessly.

This kid has nothing to develop.

"Sima Yi! My senior brother is Sima Yi, the current magistrate of Chaoqiu County! Do you know? If you know, do it quickly!"

The county magistrate suddenly said "oh", and then said with some doubts: "Master, there is one more thing... It's not to pour cold water on you, but now the soldiers in our county, even the yamen and jailers Come to think of it, it's only five hundred, no matter how panicked Yuan Yao is, he still has nearly [-] troops under his command, plus the tens of thousands of yellow scarf bandits...how can we stop them?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Of course you don't need to worry about this. My teacher is a thoughtful, resourceful and decisive person. He can think of anything you can think of. You don't need to worry about other things, just do what you need to do. If the sky falls..."

The county magistrate interjected, "Is it up to you?"

Zhuge Liang coughed lightly, and continued to swing the lupine: "There is a teacher holding it."

……

Sure enough, just as Zhuge Liang said, a few days later, the pottery merchant sent Zhao Yun, his lieutenants Dong Xi, Cao Hong and others to lead [-] elite troops as the vanguard to our county.

Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang are not very familiar with each other, but they know each other, one of them is the potter's sworn brother, and the other is the potter's second apprentice...

Calculating according to this seniority, Zhuge Liang had to call Zhao Yun the second uncle.

The whole world is messed up by Tao.

"The disciple has met the master." Zhuge Liang bowed his hands to Zhao Yun humbly and greeted him.

Zhao Yun didn't put on airs with Zhuge Liang just because he was a brother of a pottery merchant. He smiled back at Zhuge Liang and said, "I don't deserve the title of master. Yun is a brave man, not as knowledgeable as Mr. Zhuge. It is a great honor to be considered a brother by the Taifu, the son is a famous nobleman, and he is deeply favored by the Taifu, how dare he call himself an elder? You don't need to worry about it, we will talk about ourselves."

When Zhuge Liang saw Zhao Yun, for some reason, he felt an inexplicable feeling of closeness in his heart.

He is talented and intelligent, and although he doesn't dislike people who are good at martial arts and bloodthirsty, he can't say that he likes them very much, but Zhao Yun gives him a very different feeling.

Although he is brave and good at fighting, he is brave and crowned the three armies, but he does not have the roughness of ordinary warriors. On the contrary, he is gentle, polite and modest, quite like a generation of Confucian generals.

But those who fought against Zhao Yun on the battlefield certainly didn't think so.

"General Zhao, the spies report that Yuan Yao and his party have already passed the eastern border of Yuzhou and are heading straight for the border of our county. Now Zhou Cang, Liu Pi, Gong Du and other troops are in their army. Among the officials in our county, it is very secretive, and no one else knows about it except me. Now that there are 1 people like General Zhao, as long as we cooperate with Liu Pi and others at that time, we want to take down Yuan Yao, Liu Xun, It shouldn’t be difficult for Zhang Xun and others.”

After hearing this, Zhao Yun heaved a long sigh, and a trace of solemnity flashed on his face.

Zhuge Liang was surprised when he saw this, and said, "What's the matter? The general is in trouble?"

"Mr. Zhuge, according to what you said, this matter is indeed a sure-fire situation. Before Naiyun came here, the Taifu once told me that the matter of preventing Yuan Yao from entering Xuzhou may not be what we thought. As smooth as it is, you and I need to be cautious... If there is no accident, the Grand Tutor's army will support it later."

Zhuge Liang was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't understand why.

But Zhao Yun raised his hand and pointed to the west.

Zhuge Liang suddenly realized.

"Could the teacher be worried...Cao Cao from the Central Plains?"

Zhao Yun nodded, and said: "Exactly, Cao Cao was too quiet in Yuzhou before, but he deceived us all. Fortunately, Mr. Guo has a plan, and it is certain that things will be reversed! Cao Cao has nothing to do with Huainan's changes. If he doesn't move, he must be planning soldiers and planning. With his heart, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity to merge Yuan Yao's group! Let's not be reckless this time, we just need to stop Yuan Yao's group Immediately, all that is left is to wait quietly for the Grand Tutor's army to arrive, before we have any worries."

Zhuge Liang swayed the feather fan, thought carefully for a while, and said: "If this is the case, we will be under great pressure! The original plan cannot be implemented now... Liu Pi, Gong Du, Zhou Cang and others should not react too early. water, but with the general's 1 horses, if you set up camp on the official road to block Yuan Yao's tens of thousands of people, it may not be possible, right?"

Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this.

"Mr. Zhuge, don't worry, Yun's 1 people are in charge, it's enough! You are in the city, and I will form a rivalry with me. Let's see how Yun and the Huainan army compete!"

Seeing Zhao Yun's curiosity, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel upset.

What a pleasure it would be to be able to go to the battlefield with these characters in the future, with one martial skill and one wisdom, and help each other.

……

Three days later, Yuan Yao's army arrived in Wu County.

The spies of the Huainan army reported that Zhuge Liang, the county magistrate of our county, was guarding the gate of the city tightly, and there were [-] troops under the leadership of a general surnamed Zhao. , and set up more antlers, with strict barriers, blocking the way of Yuan Yao and others.

Yuan Yao was a little panicked when he found out, and hurriedly consulted with everyone to discuss countermeasures.

Zhuge Liang, the county magistrate of our county, was unknown, so everyone didn't take it seriously, but when they heard that the official was Zhao Yun, everyone panicked.

Others may not know Zhao Yun, but the soldiers of the Huainan Army do!

In the Battle of Yuzhang, Zhao Yun fought against Lu Bu, the outcome was even, and his reputation spread throughout the Huainan Army, Bingzhou Army, and Sun Family Army!

Zhao Yun's name has already been deeply imprinted in the hearts of every general in the Huainan Army.

"Unexpectedly, when we marched so far, we would encounter Zhao Yun blocking the way!" Yuan Yao was trembling, and said nervously to the crowd: "I heard that this beast is even brave, how should we deal with it?"

Liu Xun stood up and said, "My lord, Zhao Yun is as brave as Lu Bu. I think he is the number one general under the command of the pottery merchant. With him in command, we may not be able to pass through Xuzhou... It's better, it's better to change the road and go from Yuzhou Hebei, it should be too late."

When Liu Xun asked Yuan Yao to change course again, Liu Pi hurriedly stood up and said, "Liu Gong, you are also a famous general in Huainan. You have guarded Lujiang County for many years, so why are you still afraid of Zhao Yun? No matter how brave Zhao Yun is, he is only one person after all. That's all, if we can't beat him alone, we can beat him with ten people! If we can't beat ten people, we can always win with 100 people, right? We have tens of thousands of people in our army, how can we still be afraid of him? I heard that Zhao Yun's subordinates But with [-] people, it shouldn't be difficult to break through his line of defense!"

Hearing this, Liu Xun looked at Liu Pi coldly, and said, "General Liu is so confident, so you might as well fight Zhao Yun fiercely and open a way for the Lord, how about it?"

Liu Pi was not surprised but delighted when he heard the words!

This is a good opportunity.

As long as I suddenly turned against Zhao Yun when I was confronting Zhao Yun on the front line, and led the Xuzhou army to rush into the Huainan army formation, then Zhou Cang and Gong would join forces inside and outside the army formation, and capture Yuan Yao and Yuan's family alive.

At that time, wouldn't I have made great contributions to the pottery?
