Chapter 52: Han Sui Seeks Talents

The next day, Ma Chao came out to call for battle. He saw a no-war sign placed on the camp of Han Sui's army. Ma Chao was disappointed. After calling for battle for several days, Han Sui still didn't send anyone to fight. Ma Chao had no choice, so he had to force his way through, intending to break out of the encirclement by force.

At this time, he saw that Ma Chao's soldiers were scattered again. He thought that Ma Chao had run out of food and fodder, so he led his army to sneak attack behind him. Ma Chao's army was defeated again and returned to the city. When Han Sui saw this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing and thought to himself: "Look, you guys are still here this time."

How long can we last!" So Fufeng County was surrounded again.

On this day, at midnight, everything inside and outside Fufeng County was quiet. However, there were more than a hundred men in black lurking in the Weihe River. They were the Green Dragon and White Tiger Guards led by Zhao Yun. When Ma Chao was defeated today, they

They had secretly lurked under the Weihe River. At this time, they were seen gradually poking their heads out of the water. Looking carefully, Han Suijun's camp was in front. Zhao Yun was the first to go ashore, and then lit a torch first. After a while,

After that, everyone saw a torch burning in their hands. Zhao Yun gave the order, and they rushed into Han Sui's camp and threw the torches in their hands into various barracks.

Han Sui's soldiers were frightened when they saw enemy troops rushing out from behind at midnight, so they hurriedly mounted their horses to meet the enemy. At this time, they saw that there were only about a hundred enemy troops, so they ordered the archers to prepare. He went to besiege Zhao Yun and others.

.

But at this time, most of the soldiers were asleep. When they discovered that their tents were on fire and they had not changed their clothes and armor, they came out with swords and guns and joined the siege. Han Sui saw that his camp was on fire and even

It means being anxious. On the one hand, it makes people put out the fire, and on the other hand, it makes people face the enemy.

Ma Chao had already seen the fire in Han Sui's camp and knew that Zhao Yun and others had already succeeded. So he led his army out and attacked Han Sui's camp. Han Sui saw Ma Chao leading his army to capture his camp and knew that he had fallen into Ma Chao's trick.

. He knew that Ma Chao was brave, so he did not dare to go to fight with him. He just ordered the archers to stop him, and he led his army to retreat and return to Xizhou.

After Han Sui returned, he still couldn't understand why Ma Chao suddenly became two different people. At this time, Cheng Yin, who was under the tent, said that Ma Chao must have someone helping him. Han Sui also felt the same. So he asked the generals at the city gates:

Did someone break into Fufeng County during the siege? A general replied that a small group of people did break into the city during the siege, and they were the same hundred people who burned his camp.

After Han Sui heard this, he admired them very much. He thought that more than a hundred people dared to come and attack him late at night. If he didn't have extraordinary wisdom and courage, he would not dare to do this. Han Sui wanted to know what happened to these people.

Who exactly was the general, so he sent someone to find out.

A few days later, a spy came back to report that this general was called Zhao Yun, who was from Changshan Zhending. He had previously served Gongsun Zan, but now his servant was unknown. After hearing this, Han Sui was very happy, so he ordered Cheng Yi to find an opportunity to lobby Zhao Yun to come.

Rely on yourself, no matter how much financial and material resources you spend.

Let's say that after Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu got along for a few days, he heard that Liu Bei was besieged by Cao Cao in Xuzhou, so he said goodbye to Ma Yunlu and Ma Chao, and then headed southeast. Not long after Zhao Yun left Fufeng County, he found a man following him sneakily.

Behind him, Zuo Long called Zhao Yun and said, "Do you want me to capture him?" Zhao Yun nodded in agreement.

After a while, Zuo Long captured the man. Zhao Yun saw that the man was Han Sui's general Cheng Yi, so he asked: "Aren't you General Cheng Yi under Han Sui? Why are you so sneaky?" Follow me?"

Cheng Yi said: "General Zhao, I have been misunderstood. I have no ill intentions."

"Then what's your purpose here?" Zhao Yun asked.

Cheng Yi did not directly tell the purpose of his visit, but asked with a smile: "I wonder where General Zhao wants to go?"

"You don't seem to need to know this." Zhao Yun replied.

"Although I have no right to interfere, if General Zhao has nowhere to stay, I can recommend a Ming Lord to you."

When Zhao Yun heard this, he knew that he was a lobbyist sent by Han Sui. So he pretended to ask: "I wonder where the Ming Lord recommended by General Cheng is?"

"That's my lord, General Han!"

Zhao Yun thought for a moment, then asked with a smile: "I wonder what kind of favorable conditions your family master has disclosed to invite me?"

"High-ranking officials and generous salaries are available for you to choose from!"

"Oh!... It seems that your lord is really thirsty for talents!" Zhao Yun said.

When Cheng Yi heard Zhao Yun's tone, it sounded like he was agreeing, so he nodded in agreement. However, Zhao Yun finally declined and said: "But I am not very talented and have little knowledge. I am afraid that I will fail the trust of your lord."

Cheng Yi said anxiously: "General Zhao is too modest. My master is just interested in the general's talent, so I came to invite him."

"I am a down-and-out person who is used to wandering in troubled times. I accept your lord's kindness with heart." Zhao Yun said and wanted to leave.

However, Cheng Yi dissuaded him again, and then offered him various favorable conditions. But Zhao Yun remained unmoved. Finally, Zhao Yun said: "A true wise master does not need you to use high officials and generous salaries to invite him. He will naturally devote himself to you." Then he left.

Zhao Yun had not gone far when he suddenly saw Ma Teng leading his army towards him, his face looking very serious. It turned out that Ma Teng and Cao Hong had been in a stalemate in Hanoi for more than a month without making any progress. Seeing that his food and grass were exhausted, so He had no choice but to withdraw his troops temporarily. After Zhao Yun went to visit his father-in-law, he heard Ma Teng ask: "I heard that you have joined Han Sui?"

Zhao Yun felt confused and then answered no.

"Didn't some of Han Sui's cronies come to greet you just now?" Ma Teng asked with contempt.

When Zhao Yun heard this, he knew that he had just witnessed the secret conversation between himself and Cheng Yi. So he explained to him what had just happened. But Ma Teng firmly did not believe it. Zhao Yun knew that no matter what he said, it was useless. So he said to Ma Teng: "Since you don't believe it, let me leave Xiliang."

"You want to leave Xiliang, do you want to go and join Cao Cao, and then come to destroy us?" Ma Teng asked.

"You are paranoid, I just want to go back to Changshan!" Zhao Yun replied.

But Ma Teng secretly thought: If he wanted to go to Changshan, he would not take this route at all. So he ordered Zhao Yun to be arrested and escorted back to Fufeng County. Zhao Yun was about to resist, but thought it would not be good to fall out with him at this time. So I had to go back with them.
