Chapter 44

Wei Shi's age is exactly eighteen years old.

At this age, Zhao Yun, like Wei Shi now, went to serve under Gongsun Zan, the white horse general in Youzhou, side by side, chatting and laughing with his friends from Zhaojiacun.

The reason why he chose Gongsun Zan instead of other princes.

It was because Gongsun Zan defeated the Wuhuan leader Qiu Liju and the rebel general Zhang Chun in the Battle of Shimen in the fifth year of Zhongping. He shocked the outside world and reversed the unfavorable situation of Hulu invasion and plundering of the Han people on the border of Youzhou.

At that time, Zhao Yun went there with the best intention of expelling the barbarians.

It's a pity that Gongsun Zan was not a wise master, and Zhao Yun's enthusiasm was ultimately wasted. It was not until Gongsun Zan was defeated that he switched his allegiance to Liu Bei. At this time, many years had passed since Zhao Yun first joined the army.

"Shi Yi has long heard about Captain Zhao's prowess. The last time he went to the Xinye Army, he unfortunately didn't get to see him. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to meet the general in Wancheng today."

Wei Shi looked at Zhao Yun with his eyes and his tone was also very excited.

In Zhao Yun's eyes, Wei Shi is who he was back then.

In Wei Shi's heart, Zhao Yun was not an ordinary general under Liu Bei.

A victorious general has never been defeated in his life.

Full of courage, he hugged the young master in front of Changbanpo, entered and exited seven times, and killed more than fifty generals of Cao Cao...

In the novel, Zhao Zilong, the unparalleled white-horse silver general with outstanding marksmanship, is the Zhao Yun in Wei Shi's heart.

"Wei Langjun, although we are a generation apart in age, we feel like old friends at the first sight. Yun regards Langjun as if he were his nephew. After entering the city, Yun held a banquet in the tent and invited Wei Langjun and the generals in Neixiang.

Drink together."

People flock together and things divide into groups.

Zhao Yun and Wei Shi had a very pleasant conversation, and they had been talking for a long time without realizing it. After being reminded by his subordinates, he suggested that Wei Shi lead the country soldiers into the city to rest first and meet again in the evening.

In these days, the way for men in the army to communicate with each other was through banquets and gatherings, just like in later generations.

That night, Zhao Yun served wine in his military tent to entertain Wei Shi and other local generals. Even Wei Cheng and Wei Gong were invited.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Yunjun's white face showed an apologetic blush, and he said while still drunk:

"Wei Langjun, Yun has an unsolicited request. Reinforcement soldiers and horses from all walks of life have gathered in Wancheng. In a few days, they will be dispatched to various armies. I wonder if Langjun is willing to lead the inner country troops to join Yun's command."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang. Yun Dang will send another unit to settle down. The affairs of the country's soldiers will still be decided by Mr. Lang. If there is any matter of sending troops, you and I will discuss it together."

The reason why Zhao Yun valued the Neixiang soldiers so much was because he saw the majestic formation, neat pace and high morale of the Neixiang soldiers after being trained by Wei Shi during the day.

Undoubtedly, in Zhao Yun's eyes, such an army is a rare and powerful army.

Everyone wants an army that can fight.

If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw it, they would definitely be placed under their command without any explanation.

Compared with Guan and Zhang, who are more prestigious and famous, Zhao Yun has not even been elected as a general, so naturally he has little appeal.

"Captain Zhao wants to make an appointment, and Shi Yourong wants to meet Yan. However, I, Wei Shi, have a straightforward temper, and I will say anything to my face."

"Shi came to the army this time mainly because General Zuo's wife was kind to my wife and I, Mi Zizhong was generous and magnanimous, and Wei Wenchang was loyal and courageous. In addition, defeating Cao's army will help protect Neixiang from plunder."

"The rural soldiers in Neixiang County are self-defense teams formed by self-recruitment, raising their own food, and bringing their own weapons. Once the war in Nanyang is over, the rural soldiers will disarm and return to their fields and return to their hometowns to farm. This is not Shi Du?, but

This is the condition promised when recruiting soldiers."

Seeing Zhao Yun's sincere attitude, Wei Shi didn't want to hide anything, so he informed him one by one about his appointment as county captain and Neixiang soldier.

Be a villain first and then a gentleman.

There are ugly things said in person.

This is Wei Shi's principle of life and work.

"What? Wei Langjun's rural soldiers are a newly formed army. Can a new army defeat Xiahoulan and relieve the difficulties of Xinye?" After hearing this, Zhao Yun asked in surprise.

When he captured Xiahou Lan, the general of Cao's army praised Wei Shi's ability in front of his childhood friend Zhao Yun, and bluntly said when Liu Bei had another general with outstanding resourcefulness under his command.

"Rong Shi will tell you in detail..."

Wei Shi calmed down his thoughts, and did not hide anything in front of Zhao Yun. He told how he started a business in Yushu Bay, how he went to Neixiang County to serve as a county captain, and then fought against the local bandit Wang Zhong, captured Junshan, and other deeds.

The more Zhao Yun listened, the more he admired Wei Shi's experience of starting from scratch.

In the cursive official documents written by officials such as Zhu Bo and Liu Yan, Wei Shi's contribution was overlooked with a few strokes of understatement. After such a comparison, Zhao Yun, a man from Changshan who had an upright temperament and did not have trouble in his eyes, couldn't help but frown.

"If Captain Zhao doesn't believe it, you can ask Fu Wei, Xiang Chong and other generals, and you can also ask Mi Zhonglang. I think Zhonglang's nature will not hide anything."

Wei Shi saw that Zhao Yun was doubtful, so he simply stopped hiding it and said everything he was holding back.

There are gentlemen and villains around Liu Bei.

Mi Zhu, Fu Wei, Xiang Chong, Fukuang and others are all gentlemen, and Wei Shi can trust their character.

But at the same time, Liu Yan, a well-known scholar in Yuzhou, was a villain on the surface who was noble but actually had a low moral character. Wei Shi had a bad relationship with him and could not be trusted.

"Wei Langjun, please rest assured, Yun is not Liu Weishuo, and he will never do anything to harm Wei Langjun and the Neixiang soldiers."

Zhao Yun finally raised the wine bottle solemnly and drank it all in one gulp.

Although Liu Bei was the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty, he was courteous, virtuous and generous, and he was very popular among the people.

However, due to his poor family background, Liu Bei's focus was mainly on the nobles and celebrities with status and fame, but he ignored Wei Shi, a disciple from a humble family who was close to him.

Zhao Yun also felt deeply about this.

He is a native of Zhaojia Village, Zhending, Changshan, and a villager in a township. Like Wei Shi, he has no background to rely on except himself. Therefore, his promotion in Liu Bei's army is very slow, and he is only the commander of the cavalry army so far.

Wei Shi was happy when he saw that Zhao Yun didn't force himself. He quickly raised the wine bottles and said:

"Shi once heard a saying: If there is a will, things will come true. If the cauldron sinks the boat, a hundred and two Qin passes will eventually belong to Chu; if a person works hard, God will not let him down; if he sleeps on the salary and tastes courage, three thousand Vietnamese armor can swallow up Wu. This is a heroic statement. Shi Shen believes it.

."

This famous saying of later generations was written by Pu Songling, a famous figure in the Qing Dynasty.

Wei Shi said it at this time, which made Zhao Yun feel sad and shocked.

After reciting it back and forth several times, Zhao Yun ordered the military scribe to pick up a pen and sharpen his ink, write down the entire passage, and then give it up after showing it to Wei Shi.

After sharing the same enemy with Kai, the relationship between Zhao Yun and Wei Shi became much closer. Even Wei Cheng, Wei Gong and others became good friends with Zhao Yun's subordinate Zhang Zhu and others.

With the foundation of trust, Wei Shi led his troops to temporarily integrate into Zhao Yun's army, and everything went smoothly.

Wancheng in the north, Bowangpo in the south, and Fangcheng.

Inside Liu Bei's military tent.

After several fierce battles with Cao's army, Liu Bei's army suffered considerable losses. With the arrival of reinforcements from the rear, plans to replenish the losses and reorganize the army are underway.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Shu and other important generals and staff are all there.

When Jian Yong presented the supplementary plan to everyone, military advisor Xu Shu glanced at the affiliation of each department, and a strange look flashed in his sharp eyes.

Just when everyone lowered their heads to take a closer look, the impatient Zhang Fei stood up, slapped the desk and shouted:

"Brother, how come Wei Shi's inner-city soldiers were incorporated into Zhao Yun's cavalry? My flying army has been severely damaged after many days of fierce fighting and needs to be replenished."

In Xinye City, Zhang Fei's newlywed wife Xia Houjuan was a shrewd person. As early as when Xia Houlan withdrew from the siege, he wrote a letter to Zhang Fei, describing the whole story of the battle, who had the greater credit, and who had the greater credit.

clear.

Zhang Fei had great trust in Xia Houjuan and believed in what he said.
