Chapter 74 ?? Longtan is empty

After Zhang Xiu left Yang County, he threw away Xu Huang's incident. His heart had already flown to the dragon pond in Zhending County, Changshan.

After leaving Hedong, Hanoi County went east. Hanoi County was in the east, and Jizhou was in the north. After Zhang Xiu left Hanoi County, he went north.

Now there are many rebellions in the Han Dynasty. There are Yellow Turbans in Bingzhou and Jizhou, and Black Turbans are in chaos, and the soldiers are in chaos. However, Zhang Xiu and other 200 light cavalrymen are all soldiers with bears and tigers on their backs, and they are also majestic wherever they pass. No stupid thieves dare to take their ideas.

Although the journey was full of dust, Zhang Xiu still arrived outside Zhending County, Changshan County on the morning of that day.

Zhending County is the capital of Changshan County. There are many people in the city and it is stable around it. Looking up, there are fertile fields around it.

Zhang Xiu stood up and saw a long pavilion ahead, and said, "Let's go and have a rest there for a few days."

"No." Dian Wei still obeyed the order. After saying goodbye, he rode his horse and Zhang Xiu to the long pavilion. After entering the long pavilion, Dian Wei took a piece of cloth and wiped the benches in the pavilion before he asked Zhang Xiu to sit down.

"General. The north of Changshan County is Zhongshan Kingdom. Why are you resting here?" Wang Ding, the follower, asked with confusion.

They have just set off for a while, and there is no reason to rest here.

"Passing by this place is visiting the wise." Zhang Xiu was in a happy mood and said with a smile.

"Visiting the wise?" Wang Ding looked at Zhang Xiu in surprise. Zhang Xiu recruited talents in Lueyang County and treated Xu Huang with courtesy in Hedong. He was eager to seek talents.

But he had never heard of any talent in Zhending City.

"Who is it that makes the general so concerned?" Wang Ding asked with his hands.

"This person's surname is Zhao Yun, and his courtesy name is Zilong. Currently, no one knows him in the deep diving dragon pond. Only I know this person is a talented man." Zhang Xiu said with a smile. Then he turned to Dian Wei and said, "Brother Dian, send fifty people to inquire about where this mansion named Zhao Yun is."

"No." Dian Wei Yingnuo said, and immediately went to do it. Then fifty light cavalry rolled over and went into the city to inquire with five people.

Seeing the fifty people riding their horses away, Wang Ding couldn't help but ask curiously: "General, how talented is this person?"

"This person is well-versed in military tactics and has extraordinary martial arts skills, so he is not inferior to me and Brother Dian. What's even more amazing is that this person has excellent moral character and is really a good general." Zhang Xiu raised his thumbs up and said endlessly.

Wang Ding was even more surprised, but he didn't believe it. Can there be such a perfect person in this world?

Dian Wei's face moved, and he was a little concerned about Zhang Xiu's evaluation of Zhao Yun's martial arts.

"Haha." Zhang Xiu saw that Wang Ding didn't believe it, but he didn't say much. Regarding the five thousand years of China, military generals like Zhao Yun are definitely rare, or just this one.

Take the military generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms for example. No matter whether they are the five good generals, Guan, Zhang, Ma, Huang, or the twelve tiger ministers of the Eastern Wu, they all have more or less problems.

For example, Zhang Liao had disagreements with his colleagues, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei had more obvious personality flaws, Gan Ning in Jiangdong was rough and fierce and murderous, and his personality was also irritable.

Only Zhao Yun.

When watching the history books of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun had nothing to do with it.

On Changban slope, Zhao Yun protected Mrs. Gan, and Liu Chan broke through, and was unparalleled in loyalty and courage. During the period when Liu Bei pacified Jingzhou and attacked Yizhou, Zhao Yun also played an important role.

For Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, Zhao Yun had the same surname and because Zhao Fan had just surrendered, he was unsure of loyalty and did not accept Zhao Fan's sister-in-law Fan, and his personal ethics were excellent.

After entering Chengdu, Liu Bei wanted to reward the land in Chengdu with the land of the mansion and land. Zhao Yun stood up and opposed it, firmly requesting Liu Bei to return the land to the original Chengdu people, and said that righteous word.

"Huo Qubing said that the Huns had not been destroyed and had no use for their families. Now the traitors in the country are not only the Huns, but also the peace. The world must be settled, and they all rebel against their hometowns and return to their native lands. This is what they are suitable for. The people of Yizhou, who were initially warned and rebuked, could all return their land and houses, and they could be restored to their peace and regain their business, and then they could be transferred to their service and win their favor."

It means that we first eliminate the Cao thief, then go back to our respective villages, and then do whatever we should do. We just can't occupy the land and houses of the people of Chengdu.

Zhuge Liang made his first northern expedition to Qishan and ordered Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi to be suspicious soldiers. At that time, Zhao Yun was already gray-haired and frost-like. However, he still dragged down the main army of Cao Wei. In the unfavorable situation, Zhao Yun personally cut off the rear and avoided defeat.

真大仁大勇也.

After reading this passage, Zhang Xiu had to worry about sighing. If Zhuge Liang asked Wei Yan to be a suspicious soldier and Zhao Yun guarded Jieting, Ji Han might be able to turn the tables.

In short, Zhang Xiu likes Zhao Yun the most, the general of the Three Kingdoms.

It would be fine if I didn’t have time, but I actually came to Changshan County today. How could I not visit me in person?

若得赵云,可胜雄兵万人.

After Zhang Xiu waited for about half an hour, he saw a team of cavalry rolling up sand and dust in the sky and rode his horse back.

After arriving outside the Changting, the knight immediately turned over and dismounted and reported: "I have reported to the general. My subordinates have discovered that the Zhao family has been poor for generations, but they have little assets. In this generation, there are two brothers, whose brother is named Zhao Lei. My family lives in Zhaojiazhuang outside the city, and it is five or six miles away."

"Okay. Leave ten people to guide the rest of the soldiers who went to inquire. The others followed me first." Zhang Xiu nodded, then immediately left the Changting, turned over the horse, and went to Zhaojiazhuang with Dian Wei, Wang Ding and more than a hundred cavalry.

Five or six miles arrived in a flash. Soon after, Zhang Xiu stopped and looked up at a village with an active and wide area in front of him.

The forest is surrounded by the left side of the village, and the remaining three sides are vast fertile fields. There are people guarding the arrow tower at the gate with bows, and there are also guards in front of the gate holding swords to hold the door.

赵家乃当地土豪无疑.

Zhang Xiu exhaled, waved his whip, and drove his horse to the front of Zhaojiazhuang gate. He stopped and said to the guards: "I am the captain of the Qiang camp and the governor of Lueyang County. I heard that the Zhao brothers are famous, so I come to ask for a meeting."

The guards guarding Zhuangzi were nervous when they saw more than a hundred light cavalrymen with Zhang Xiu and others, and they were full of weapons and were full of momentum.

But after hearing Zhang Xiu’s claim to be a general, they calmed down. As for Zhang Xiu’s name, they didn’t know it.

"Please wait, I'll report to the master now." A guard bowed to Zhang Xiu and quickly turned around and entered the village. Not long after, a man in his thirties walked out quickly. After seeing Zhang Xiu, he bowed and said, "Zhao Lei has seen General Shenweitian."

Zhang Xiu no longer had a cold regarding the title of "Shenweitian General". He was a little disappointed when he saw Zhao Lei. Zhao Yun looked not at home. If he were there, Zhao Yun should have gone out to greet him.

"Zhao Zhuangshi." Although Zhang Xiu was disappointed, he did not lose his etiquette. He said politely, and then said, "Don't be surprised by heroes. I was going to Zhongshan Kingdom to do business and came to Zhending County, Changshan. I heard that my heroes and brothers were very admired. I recruited soldiers in Lueyang and prepared to deal with Ma Teng and Han Sui. So I wanted to hire the heroes and brothers."

Zhao Lei was not surprised.

Zhang Xiu's reputation has spread to Jizhou, but the people who promoted to Dou Dou didn't know Zhang Xiu. However, he knew that Zhang Xiu was recruiting talents and training troops.

However, Zhao Lei was not interested in joining the army. He bent down and invited: "The door is not a place to speak, so please come in and speak."

"Okay." Zhang Xiu responded with ease, letting the rest of the people wait outside, and only induce Wang Ding and Dian Wei and the others to walk in.

After coming to the living room, Zhao Lei asked his servants to entertain him with tea. Zhao Lei picked up the tea and took a sip and said, "I'm sure the general. Our Zhao family is indeed famous, but they are all the reputation of my second brother. He is righteous in the county, has excellent martial arts skills, has made many friends, and has helped the county magistrate arrest thieves and repel thieves."

Speaking of this, Zhao Lei sincerely bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "My brother has always had the ambition to join the army. With his reputation as a general, he came to visit my Zhaojiazhuang. My brother should be grateful to join the army. But unfortunately, my brother was invited by a friend the day before yesterday and went to Bingzhou. I was not easy to make a decision on this matter. When my brother comes back, I will tell him about this. If my brother is interested, he will take people to visit the general in Lueyang."

This is the benefit of the official position. The Zhao family has been poor for generations, and their ancestors have never been an official. Zhang Xiu, the Qiang-protecting magistrate, is already a great figure.

Now that Zhang Xiu is surrendering to visit, Zhao Lei is only grateful. Moreover, Zhang Xiubo is famous and is called [General Shenwei Tian]. Zhao Yun is relieved to join the army by Zhao Yun.

It’s a pity that Zhao Yun is not at home.

Zhang Xiu was also very disappointed. Zhao Yun actually went to Bingzhou. This was really a coincidence. It was impossible for him to go to Bingzhou for another trip just for Zhao Yun.

What should I do if Ma Teng and Han Sui attack Lueyang?

"I really hate that such a hero like Zhao Zilong is not going to meet him at first." Zhang Xiu sighed and said with regret.

Zhao Lei bowed to Zhang Xiu to apologize. However, he was really grateful. He not only came to visit him in person, but also revealed his true feelings.

Since Zhao Yun was not here, Zhang Xiu had nothing to say. But Zhang Xiu still left a letter and invited Zhao Yun to him with earnest words.

Then Zhang Xiu and Zhao Lei said goodbye in front of Zhuangzi's gate, turned over and continued to lead Dian Wei, Wang Ding and others toward Zhongshan Kingdom.

Changshan and his party disappointed Zhang Xiu. However, after arriving in Zhongshan, there was no trouble. The Zhongshan merchant Zhang Shiping was a generous man, and Zhang Xiu also had Xu Huang's letters. Zhang Xiu was very successful and bought a total of 100 large carts of cowhide from Zhang Shiping, which was enough for military supplies.

Zhang Xiu immediately recruited warriors in Zhongshan and escorted these cowhides back to Lueyang. On the way, Zhang Xiu specially went to Zhaojiazhuang outside Zhending County, Changshan County.

There is still only Zhao Lei in the village, and the dragon is not seen.

Zhang Xiu could only regretfully stay in Zhaojiazhuang for a night, then set off again, switched to Hanoi, and returned to Lueyang County.

Zhang Xiu thought this trip was coming to an end. Although he met Cai Yong and Xu Huang visited Zhaojiazhuang, he ended up getting the cowhide of these hundred cars.
