Chapter 680 Where is your future?
Under the dark clouds and strong wind, a lone man came riding on horseback.
People are waiting for the weather to clear up, and I am waiting for you!
How could I have such virtue and ability? This was the only thought in Liu Bei's mind.
Liu Bei got off his horse and stumbled to Luo Qi's front. He seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end he just held Luo Qi's arm and held it tightly. Luo Qi had a faint smile on his face, which made people feel extremely at ease.
Thousands of words are expressed in silence.
Everyone stood behind Liu Bei. Liu Ye's eyes were full of "As expected, how could Marquis Ying abandon the Liu family?"
After a while, Luo Qi said softly: "Lord Xuande, please follow me to Yinghou State. This is not a place to stay for long.
We have suffered heavy casualties this time, and we still have to worry about the aftermath. The two Lu clans have taken root in Qingzhou, and if Qingzhou collapses this time, there is a high probability that the two Lu clans will split off, so we must prepare early.
And Lord Xuande, your wife needs to be brought over from Taishan County. You should retreat first and must not follow the footsteps of Emperor Gao. "
Everyone was shocked. Emperor Gao had abandoned Empress Gao, Emperor Hui and the eldest princess, but in the end these three people became close to King Luo Wen and their relationship with him was only nominal.
Emperor Hui even personally referred to King Luo Wen as his father, and he rarely mentioned Emperor Gao during his entire reign.
The consequences of this are too terrible, not to mention that the wife is now a noble daughter of the Lu family. If Liu Bei dares to do such a thing, it will be a big problem.
Liu Bei nodded, and the group went straight to Yinghou State.
…
It is said that Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei's orders and led thousands of soldiers all the way to the northern part of Qingzhou. Among them, many were the last elite soldiers brought from Youzhou by Liu Bei's army, all of whom were skilled in archery and horse riding.
Zhao Yun traveled quickly all the way and entered the northern part of Qingzhou. Fortunately, Yuan Shao was busy restoring the ruling order in Jizhou and had not yet sent a large army directly.
This land had been under the rule of Gongsun Zan for several years and was now somewhat unfamiliar to Yuan Shao.
Moreover, Gongsun Zan's governance methods were really poor, and people's livelihood was somewhat deteriorating. He had to recover as soon as possible to enhance his own strength.
Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng after his victory.
After a short rest, Qu Yi led his army to chase Gongsun Zan again, preparing to take advantage of the situation to capture several cities in Youzhou so as to use them as strongholds for the subsequent attack on Youzhou.
Yuan Shao also sent Shen Pei, Zhang He and Gao Lan to go south along Bohai County to Qingzhou counties. Now Liu Bei was fighting with Cao Cao and Qingzhou was empty, which was a good time to attack.
Bohai County got its name because it is close to the Bohai Sea. The mouth of the river leads to the Bohai Sea. Bohai County and Qingzhou are divided by the river, the so-called Hebei and Henan.
Among the counties in the north of Qingzhou, there are many tributaries of the river. Although it is not as crisscrossed as the Huaihe River system, there are still several tributaries that cross the river, and it is often necessary to cross the river for attacks.
Zhao Yun relocated craftsmen and others in Qingzhou County, and some people who were grateful for Liu Bei's kindness were willing to migrate with him. Liu Bei's brother-in-law Lu Shen made great efforts, and a large number of talents were taken away by the caravan from the Lu family.
Ever since Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao, Lu knew that Liu Bei would also be defeated and might even lose Qingzhou.
This made the Lu family feel a little uncomfortable. After all, if possible, they still hoped that a vassal of the Liu family could win, but for the entire family, it was not a big problem.
Even if Liu Bei lost Qingzhou, as long as the people who came in were not peasant soldiers, whether it was Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, for the Lu family, it was nothing more than a question of power.
For a big family that has existed for three hundred years, a temporary low point is nothing.
But for Liu Bei's brother-in-law Lu Shen, the difference was huge, especially since his own sister was Liu Bei's wife.
He had already made up his mind and was ready to leave with some of the family's resources. He would go wherever Liu Bei went.
So they put a lot of effort into the process of relocating people.
However, this relatively leisurely migration period soon came to an end, and the Hebei Army began to appear in Qingzhou. From Liu Bei's actions of relocating people in recent days, the gentry all realized that Liu Bei was going to give up the northern part of Qingzhou.
So, except for the nobles who had close ties with Liu Bei, most of the nobles began to make preparations for both scenarios.
Zhao Yun understood that his mission had come, which was to stop the Hebei Army and buy time for retreat!
Shen Pei and others ordered the army to cross the river. When they had not yet gained a firm foothold, they were suddenly attacked by Zhao Yun on the south bank of the river. Zhao Yun shot the unprepared leader to death with one arrow, and then waves of arrows rained down. The soldiers who crossed the river first hurriedly raised their shields, but because they had no leader, they seemed disorganized.
Zhang He was just arriving at the shore by boat, and he jumped directly onto the shore, followed by more than a dozen junior officers. There were many generals from Hebei, and after these people came ashore, they instantly stabilized the morale of the army, and brought back the army that was almost on the verge of collapse. The previously messy army gradually began to become organized.
They all raised their large shields to defend against the arrows.
As soon as Zhao Yun saw this, he led his troops out of the forest. Zhang He took a look and saw a general in a white robe and holding a silver spear. He looked very majestic and handsome.
He immediately thought of someone, Zhao Yun!
Sure enough, the white-robed general said in a loud voice: "I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan. Please tell me your name!"
Zhang He, Gao Lan and Shen Pei had never met Zhao Yun, but after the three were ordered to attack Qingzhou, both Yuan Shao and Yan Liang and Wen Chou told them about Liu Bei and his three mighty warriors.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou's evaluation of these three people is: "Their might and strength are unmatched. Under Zhang Jiao and Lu Bu, there is no one who can match them!
Especially Zhao Zilong, who is even better than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in terms of martial arts alone, so you must be careful when you see him."
This evaluation surprised the three of them. Zhang Jue was not counted, they had all seen with their own eyes how powerful Lu Bu was, and these three were actually second only to Lu Bu. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. For Yan Liang and Wen Chou to say so, it must be that the three of them defeated the two.
Although he was extremely cautious, Zhang He was not afraid because he had never seen one in person. He also mounted his warhorse and rode forward, "I am the General of Hebei, Zhang He!"
Zhang He!
Zhao Yun had heard of his name, who was known as one of the Four Pillars of Hebei. He had seen and competed with Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Since Zhang He was as famous as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he must be quite capable.
Zhao Yun suddenly became eager to fight. Seeing that the Hebei army had not yet completed the crossing of the river, he led his troops to attack directly. Zhang He wanted to buy time for the troops crossing the river behind, so he also led his troops forward. He wanted to test Zhao Yun's ability to see if he was as strong as Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others said.
Zhao Yun was furious when he saw Zhang He being so arrogant. "How dare you underestimate my reputation as Zhao Zilong?"
After saying that, he thrust his spear forward and stabbed, using the most powerful move in the spear techniques he had learned.
The spear was fired so fast that Zhang He only felt a flash of silver light, and then a sharp point pierced his throat. He was scared to death and hurried to block it, but he didn't expect that the spear in his hand was almost thrown out of his hand. He was originally in a state of running wildly, but was hit by the huge force coming from the side and flew off his horse.
Fortunately, Gao Lan crossed the river at this time and rode over to take over Zhang He. Zhang He was riding on another horse and was completely dazed. He was stabbed to death by the stabber. Even Lu Bu could not do this!
No matter how strong Zhao Yun is, he can never be stronger than Lu Bu!
Forbidden move?
This was the only reason Zhang He could think of, and he couldn't help but call him a lunatic.
How could Zhang He have expected Zhao Yun to use his ultimate move right away?
Few generals use these tactics on the battlefield because they are too physically demanding and put a strain on the body, affecting subsequent combat.
Gao Lan was even more surprised. Zhang He was equally matched with him, but now Zhang He was stabbed to death in one blow. Could this be the second legendary Zhang Jiao?
Zhang He rode his horse to Gao Lan's side and said in a deep voice, "This is Zhao Zilong of Changshan. He is indeed a rare and fierce general in the world.
But he must have used a forbidden move just now, let's fight him together!"
Zhao Yun raised the silver spear in his hand, pointed it at Gao Lan and asked, "May I know your name, general?"
Gao Lan said solemnly, "I am the General of Hebei, Gao Lan!"
Zhao Yun laughed loudly and said, "Another Hebei general. I have seen all of the four pillars of Hebei. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He were all defeated by me. Do you want to try the sharp edge of my spear?"
Zhao Yun's words are so déjà vu. Not to mention the previous stories, just talk about the story between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao. How could Yuan Shao's generals not know about it?
In this story, Yuan Shao is a great hero, but now that Zhao Yun said it in this situation, I don’t know what he was thinking.
Gao Lan and Zhang He both glared at him, rode their horses forward, and shouted angrily in unison: "The weapons in my hands are not at all disadvantageous!"
The two men then advanced together. Zhao Yun saw them together and laughed loudly, saying, "In the past, Yan Liang and Wen Chou attacked me together and were defeated by me. Even if you two come together, why should I be afraid?"
There is also a gap between ten thousand enemies.
Apart from Zhang Jiao, who is a pervert who is perfect in all aspects, Lu Bu is a relatively perfect one, with no obvious shortcomings.
Zhao Yun's strength also has no weaknesses, and his spear skills are powerful and fast. Most importantly, it consumes little physical strength. This is why Xu Chu said that Zhao Yun could kill him.
In this world, except for Lu Bu, as long as Zhao Yun doesn't run away and keeps fighting, he can kill any general, including a top-notch enemy like Zhang Fei!
As soon as the fight started, Zhang He and Gao Lan discovered something was wrong. Could it be that Zhao Yun really couldn't beat Lu Bu?
————
Yun was fighting in Henan. Zhang He was arrogant and did not recognize Yun's name. Yun was furious and stabbed him to death. Gao Lan happened to be crossing the river and saved him from danger. Gao Lan was very frightened and told him Yun's name and warned Gao Lan. Then the two of them attacked together. Yun smiled and said, "I am not afraid!" - "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biographies of Guan, Zhang and Zhao"
