This time Lu Bu mobilized troops from three states to fight against Gongsun Zan. In addition to the Bingzhou Army commanded by himself, the Feixiong Army had a total strength of 40,000, and Xu Rong from Shaanzhou led an army of 10,000 from Shangdang County across Baixing into Jizhou Zhao

Gao Shun led 20,000 Sizhou troops from Hanoi County to Wei County. The combined strength of the three groups was 70,000, plus the nearly 20,000 survivors from Jizhou, for a total of 90,000 troops.

Gongsun Zan only brought 30,000 horses to Jizhou this time, and the rest were recruited from Zhongshan. The scattered troops and tribes from Changshan only totaled 50,000 to 60,000. Of course, there were also immeasurable numbers among them.

The number of clan thieves is another matter.

It stands to reason that Gongsun Zan only has 30,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou. Lu Bu does not need to mobilize a large number of troops to defeat such a small number of people. The reason for using so many troops is naturally to crush Gongsun Zan with absolute numerical superiority, quickly fight and drive this foreign enemy out of Jizhou.

, so as to clean up the internal thieves.

In addition to the advantage in military strength, Bingzhou dispatched almost half of the civil servants and generals this time. Lu Bu was the commander-in-chief, leading Zhang Liao, Yan Xing, Cheng Lian, Ma Chao, Yan Liang and other generals. Zhang Mo was the chief military advisor, leading Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Chen Gong,

Guo Tu's counselors group also includes a new generation of young men such as Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Ju Hu, Tian Zhan, and a group of civil servants such as Shi Tao, Yang Jun, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Cheng.

The reason why so many people were brought here was to sort out the internal politics as soon as possible after the cleansing of Jizhou in order to restore normal social order.

The flags outside the camp covered the sky, and the crowds of people could not be seen at a glance. Zhao Yun felt numb all over when he saw this lineup. Is there any need to resist? The opponent didn't even need to pull out their weapons, they just had to line up quietly.

If you stand in front of the formation, the newly formed troops around you will be so frightened that they kneel down and ask for surrender. They will not even have the courage to escape.

"General, general, surrender!" Zhao Quan felt that his hand holding the knife was a bit unresponsive, and his tongue seemed to be tied up.

"General! Surrender! I don't want to die!" A soldier cried sadly, "I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. I really don't want to die!"

"General! Surrender!"

"Stop!"

The surrounding soldiers shouted. The archers who had been preparing to attack dropped their bows and arrows, and the sword and shield players also abandoned their swords and shields, and knelt on the ground.

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment. Surrendering in defeat was not his style, not to mention that there were two thousand white horse followers behind him. Those were the lord's trusted soldiers. Lu Bu would definitely not accept such a team that might rebel at any time.

He asked Gongsun Zhi to lead them to break out of the encirclement, but he surrendered here? He couldn't do such a thing.

"The King of Tang is not a murderous person, he will spare you the chance to die!"

Zhao Yun looked at the soldiers and said to Zhao Quan, "Ah Quan, lead them to surrender!"

"What about you, General?"

Zhao Yun raised his gun and mounted his horse, "I'll help Yi Cong break out of the encirclement!"

"General..." Zhao Quan wanted to persuade him again, but he couldn't say the next words as soon as he opened his mouth. He knew the general's temper very well. If Baima Yicong was not there, he might have surrendered, but at this time Baima was there.

Breaking through, it was absolutely impossible for him to surrender the enemy on his own.

"I'll go with the general!" Zhao Quan followed and got on his horse.

"Why waste your life?"

"The general's life is much more valuable than mine. If you are not afraid of death, why should I be afraid?"

Zhao Yun glanced at him and hesitated, "You... it's better not to follow... I can be alone."

Zhao Quan was stunned for a moment, then realized immediately that not only would he not be able to help by following him, but he might also be a drag on him. With his general's martial arts skills, even if he really wanted to break through, thousands of troops and horses would not be able to trap him.

Zhao Quan stopped insisting and saluted with clasped fists, "General, take care!"

Zhao Yun knocked his horse's belly, and his white horse galloped towards the back of the camp. Over there, the white horse Yi Cong had been fighting with Lu Bu's cavalry for a while.

Outside the camp, at the headquarters of the Chinese army, Lu Bu was sitting leisurely on a four-horse chariot with his wife. There was a small coal stove in the corner of the carriage, and a purple clay pot on it was boiling hot tea. The two of them were sipping it.

Cha wondered whether Zhao Yun would surrender.

After a while, a horse came from the front. The soldier dismounted his horse ten steps away and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, the 10,000 enemy troops in the camp requested to surrender. Only General White Horse refused to surrender. He went to the back of the camp to help the White Horse Yi Cong break out.

General Yan, please tell me, should I kill or capture?"

"This guy is very loyal to Gongsun Zan!" Lu Bu sighed in surprise and looked at his wife, "Why don't we just kill him?"

"If he surrenders easily, I will be disappointed. This man is both civil and military. I have been thinking about him for a long time, and I am about to get it. It would be a pity to kill him!"

Zhang Mo put down the tea cup, stood up holding on to the shaft of the carriage, and looked in the direction of the enemy camp, "Ma'er and General Yan are behind, let Yan Xing go over and capture them first."

"This guy is very difficult to deal with. If I go there in person, it will give him face. If he doesn't know what's good and what's good, I'll have to be rude!"

Lu Bu jumped off the chariot, and the guards immediately carried Fang Tian Huaji for him. Zhang Mo said in the chariot, "There's no need for you to go out in person, right?"

"Nothing, my back hurts from sitting in the car, it's just a good time to stretch my muscles!"

Lu Bu rode off on horseback, and a group of personal guards followed immediately. When the group arrived, the battlefield had already moved from the rear camp to ten miles away. Bai Mayi broke out from one side and resisted at the same time. More than half of them were killed or wounded, and the remaining half just wanted to escape.

Not interested in fighting, only Zhao Yun, who had just chased him, was left alone behind, fighting with Ma Chao.

Two equally shining silver guns clashed together, and separated quickly the moment they passed by. There were several Flying Bear Army soldiers surrounding the two, but none of them had any intention of taking action. Apparently, they were ordered by Ma Chao not to disturb them.

combine.

Lu Bu was not in a hurry to step forward. He reined in his horse and stopped to watch. Both of them were masters of spears and had rich combat experience. However, Ma Chao was still young and had an arrogant temper. His marksmanship was great and his attack momentum was extremely fierce.

But not enough.

Zhao Yun has a calm temperament and remains calm even when surrounded. He seems to be not as powerful as Ma Chao, but he is methodical every time he fires a gun, and he can attack while defending. He is indeed a master among masters.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lu Bu watched for a while, and when he saw that the horse could no longer hold on, he drove the horse forward, but he directly knocked away the spear in Zhao Yun's hand with a halberd.

A sore and numb feeling instantly spread throughout his right arm. Zhao Yun looked at the silver spear that flew far away with a stunned look on his face, then turned to look at Lu Bu again, his eyes full of surprise.

"Your Majesty, you actually carried out a sneak attack?" Ma Chao said in disbelief.

"How can we talk about martial ethics to the enemy?" Lu Bu said nonchalantly, and said to Zhao Yun, "You have been fighting for a long time today, and I won't take advantage of you. Come with me back, and we can have a good showdown with you another day!"

Zhao Yun was stunned again. What kind of alternative way of recruiting people to surrender was this? How should he answer?

"My lord, you want to recruit him to surrender? Are you too polite? We are also enemies. I was taken prisoner by Zhong Kang at the beginning. You only missed his weapon, and you want to spar with him again? You are all

Never sparred with me!" Ma Chao complained dissatisfied.

Lu Bu glanced at him and said, "You can't even defeat Zhong Kang, so what's the point? Zilong is different. If I hadn't taken action just now, he would have stabbed you through a hole."

"Zhao Zilong, will you surrender?" Lu Bu asked formally.

Lu Bu took action personally, and he would have no choice but to commit suicide if the situation did not improve.

Zhao Yun was silent for a moment, dismounted from his horse, and saluted with clasped fists, "The king of Tang practiced benevolent and benevolent government, and he was the wise ruler of the world. He spared his life just now. I should no longer be ungrateful. However, King Yan treated me well. The two sides are at war. I'm sorry.

It is difficult to turn around and deal with the old master. If the King of Tang can comply with this request, Zilong is willing to surrender!"

Lu Bu smiled with satisfaction, dismounted and walked over, raised his hands to support his arms, "Zilong is loyal and courageous. He will not force others to make things difficult for him. So you will be stationed in Shiyi first. The Ten Thousand Steps of the New Return will be entrusted to you to practice."

"Your Majesty, do you trust him so much? What if he surrenders and rebels again?" Ma Chao cried out in dissatisfaction again.

Zhao Yun was also full of surprise. He just said he was willing to surrender, but the King of Tang actually gave him so much trust? What's the difference between this and not surrendering? Isn't he afraid that he will attack the pass as soon as he steps forward?

Lu Bu said, "Don't doubt people when you employ them, and I can trust Zilong's character. Furthermore, the princess said that Zilong followed Gongsun Bogui in the first place to relieve the suffering of the people and to find a benevolent leader."

However, since Gongsun Bogui killed Liu Youzhou, he has become increasingly arrogant, indifferent to the people, forgetful of past mistakes, and will retaliate with anger. He is not a benevolent and righteous king."

He looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong must also understand in his heart that now that he has found the land of benevolent rule in our country of Tang, how can he rebel again?"

Zhao Yun was confused, "How does the princess know my ambition?"

Lu Bu explained, "Back then, the princess traveled with the miraculous doctor Zhang Zhongjing, visited Zhaojiazhuang, and treated my brother. She must have learned about it from your brother's mouth."

"It turns out that the people who saved my brother's life back then were the princess and the miracle doctor!" Zhao Yun was surprised again, and bowed again, "The princess had a favor for my brother's life, and Zilong will never forget it!"

Lu Bu said, "The princess is right behind. Zilong wants Xie Ke to go see her with him!"

Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart as he spoke. Amo once said that the idol of the Three Kingdoms she most admired in her previous life was Zhao Zilong. The Zhao Yun in front of her was tall and handsome, and his appearance was not inferior to his own. The key was his martial arts skills and his character.
