【Chapter 421】Changshan Zhao Zilong
"Swish!" Amid the sharp howling sound, a horizontal tree flew in the air, making a harsh sound of breaking through the air, and then quickly hit Huan Fei.
"Boy, it's a good way!"
Seeing the horizontal wood hitting him in the air again, Huan Fei shouted loudly, and saw the direction the horizontal wood hit, quickly dodged and avoided it, then grabbed the horizontal wood in the direction where the horizontal wood fell, and grabbed the horizontal wood again.
Just as Huan Fei grabbed the crossbow, he felt that the crossbow had sunk and swung it instinctively. However, the extremely heavy weight of the crossbow still did not decrease at all. Only then did he see that the other end of the crossbow was held in his hand by a handsome man, and the end with the handle of the long spear was inserted. Suddenly, Huan Fei was fierce and his arm suddenly increased his strength, but found that the handsome man no longer competed with him, but ran against him and used force in the opposite direction. Then the two of them fought repeatedly, but the direction of force was always the opposite, and they never had to face each other.
"Open!" The horizontal tree was shaking left and right, and the handsome man suddenly shouted loudly. After dodging for a long time, he collided with Huan Fei head-on again.
"Bang! Crack!"
With a loud cracking sound, the originally solid horizontal tree suddenly exploded and split into two. However, the handsome man took advantage of the bursting of the horizontal tree and kicked the ground with his legs, his body forming a straight line with the spear like a sharp arrow. The spear was held in front of his chest and flew into the middle of the exploded horizontal tree.
"Uh?" When there was a sudden change, Huan Fei grabbed a horizontal tree with one hand. Before he could wake up from his shock, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a cold light coming towards him. In an instant, he didn't have time to think about it, and he didn't care about his face. His body fell to the left in an instant, likely to avoid the vital points of his body.
"Puff!" A silver spear with a cold light passed through Huan Fei's outer abdomen. In an instant, a wound several inches long was left on his waist, and blood gushed out. However, Huan Fei, who was lying on the ground, did not care about the severe pain in his waist, and suddenly raised his right foot and kicked it. At the same time, half of the horizontal wood on his left hand rose up and instantly slapped at the handsome man flying in the air.
"Hmph!" The handsome man reacted very quickly. Seeing Huan Fei kicking, his body flew sideways in the air. He avoided Huan Fei's raising legs and kicking sideways flexibly. However, there were no eyes behind him, and the corners of his eyes were not as wide as usual due to the heavy rain. So he avoided the side kick, but failed to find the slap of the horizontal wood from the air in time. As a result, the sudden crossbow behind him hit his back heavily, slapping him and falling to the ground. When he landed, he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. Then he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up with a silver spear, but shook several steps in succession before he stabilized his body. For a moment, he frowned with a pale face, and then gritted his teeth and snorted coldly. He stared at Huan Fei and the group of people not far away from him.
This is Huan Fei!
He is a person who never suffers losses, and he is also a ruthless character who dares to fight for his life. His more than ten years of career as a horse thief have honed his special ability to win in a narrow way and fight for life with his life. He is not afraid of bleeding, nor is he afraid of minor injuries or pain, or even cut a piece of flesh from himself. He can withstand it, and even frowns. For him, no matter how powerful an opponent he encounters, as long as the opponent cannot kill him in one blow and leave a chance to breathe, he can kill his opponent in an instant.
The handsome man obviously did not know Huan Fei's origin and cold methods, so he thought that stabbing Huan Fei would make him afraid and not be interested in fighting. As a result, he was wrong, and he was outrageously wrong. He overestimated his skills, and underestimated Huan Fei's extremely agile body's extremely agile body and strong and fierce combat power. For this reason, he paid a heavy price. Although he stabbed Huan Fei, he failed to stab the vital point, and even his abdomen did not even hit the abdomen. He only stabbed Huan Fei's external abdominal muscles, which were completely minor and external injuries. Huan Fei slapped his backhand and patted him seriously, opening his mouth to vomit blood, almost losing his combat power, and becoming the target of slaughter. The reason why he forced himself to stand up was nothing more than showing Huan Fei that he still had the power to fight again, not afraid of Huan Fei and his companions not far away.
Just when the handsome man stood up, Huan Fei had already stood up and slowly walked towards him with his other half of the crossbow with his right hand.
"Boy, you have good martial arts skills and better marksmanship. At least you have the combat power of the top mid-level general. You have even entered the threshold of the top masters in the world. Unfortunately, you met Mr. Huan! Do you know, it's been ten years, and I have never been stabbed in the past ten years. Even when he fought with Lu Bu, he was shocked and injured Mr. Huan, but I made him vomit blood and run away! I didn't expect that today's boat capsized in the gutter and made you stab. With this, it's enough to make Mr. Huan look at you differently and treat you as a real opponent. Tell me, how do you want to die? Should you break it yourself or let Mr. Huan take action?"
"Why do you have to say too much? If you want to kill or cut, you will be able to listen to the master!" The handsome man knew very well that he had no strength to fight back when facing the person in front of him. But he couldn't figure it out no matter what. This person was so powerful that he was not bad at all, and even slightly stronger. Because this person's power was so powerful that he was so terrifying that almost no one in the world could compare with him. What surprised him even more was that he had never heard of this person's name before, and he didn't know when such a strong man named Huan appeared in the world.
Just as the handsome man was thinking secretly, Li Li, Xu Chu and Chen Dao strode forward. Li Li waved his hand and signaled Chen Dao to lead the handsome man's mount into the horse tent, and then said to Huan Fei loudly: "Flying Tiger, let's stop here. It's just a few trivial matters, and you won't fight to the death. Besides, you Feihu are not a narrow-minded person, so you don't have to bluff. Zhongkang, hurry up and help this brother to rest, see if the hot soup is cooked, and give this brother a bowl first! Feihu, go and bandage the wound. I have asked Zhen Tuo to prepare first, let her bandage you!"
"Ah! This,,,,,,,," the handsome man was shocked when he heard this, turned his head to look at the handsome man standing in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Li Li said with a smile: "You don't have to refuse this brother. We are also a passing man. Suddenly, we had to set up a tent on the side of the road and camp here tonight. We had to do something wrong with both sides just now, so it was a misunderstanding. After a fight, you stabbed Feihu. He also injured you, and both sides were even. This matter was given up. I wonder what brother was thinking about?"
"This,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Brother said it over. Meeting is fate, why should you be so polite? Uh, what's your name, Zhao Yun?" Li Li suddenly asked in surprise while speaking.
The handsome man who claimed to be Zhao Yun nodded in surprise and said, "I am Zhao Yun, whose courtesy name is Zilong, is from Zhending, Changshan. Haven't you asked for your brother's name yet?"
"Uh, you are really Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong. This time, you are resigning from Gongsun Zan's tent in Youzhou?" Li Li asked in response.
This time it was Zhao Yun's turn to be surprised.
He said in surprise: "How can you know that I have returned from General Gongsun of Youzhou?"
"Uh, this,,, I'll talk to Zilong in detail later." Li Li responded in shock and said, "It's important for Zilong to treat the injury first. Don't delay the injury, so as not to leave the root of the disease. If I had known that it was Zilong in front of me, how could this misunderstanding be made? It was really a flood that rushed the Dragon King Temple. My own people beat my own people!"
As he was talking, Li Li immediately helped Zhao Yun walk towards the tent himself, looking very happy.
"What do you mean by your brother? Why do you become more confused when you listen to it?" Zhao Yun asked with confusion while walking slowly with Li Li.
Seeing Zhao Yun asking, Li Li thought for a while and said, "This is the thing. As early as a year ago, I wrote a letter to General Gongsun, asking him to transfer you to my command to serve. Then, General Gongsun happily agreed, but the war in Youzhou was urgent at that time. So he discussed with me to keep Zilong under the tent and listen to it. After the battle with Yuan Shao, he would transfer Zilong to my command. Now more than a year has passed, I am going to Youzhou to ask for people this time. I don't expect General Gongsun to send Zilong back. This is so good that I won't go to Youzhou again. Hahaha!"
"A year ago? Could it be that you are Li Li of Xiliang, General Li Li?" Zhao Yun stopped immediately after hearing this and asked in shock.
"Shh! Zilong said, this place is Yuan Shao's territory after all. If the news is leaked, I'm afraid my life will be in danger." Li Li said with a smile.
Zhao Yun was stunned and stood there motionless, with a complex expression, as if he was in a state of confusion and hesitation.
Seeing Zhao Yun's expression strange, Li Li smiled calmly and said, "Zilong doesn't need to rush to reply. The rain is getting worse, so it's important to shelter from the rain. I'll talk about other things later."

More people and more power.
In the heavy rain, more than a hundred young and strong men cut wood and mowed grass in the rain and set up tents. In less than an hour, more than ten simple straw sheds were built, covering them with oil cloth to protect them from wind and rain.
The center of the east is located, with the highest terrain and the largest area, which is the temporary residence of Li Li, Guo Jia, Li Xuan and Li Zhi.
A bonfire was set up in the shed, driving away the cold wave and evaporating the moisture, causing the shed to dry quickly, not as cold and humid as before.
After changing into clean clothes, Li Li, Li Xuan and Guo Jia sat around the bonfire and whispered.
"The real purpose of the lord coming to Jizhou this time is really for Zhao Yun? I wonder what is special about him, and it is worth the lord's personal invitation?" Li Xuan asked softly in confusion.
Li Li did not speak immediately, but instead held a wooden stick and fiddled with the bonfire to make it burn more vigorously.
At this time, Guo Jia, who was sitting on Li Li's right, whispered: "I have seen this Zhao Yun. It was during the Jieqiao Battle. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's army were in stalemate. Then Gongsun Zan personally led thousands of white horses to raid Yuan Shao's army, but was ambushed by the 800 dead soldiers under the tent of Ju Yi, the general of Jizhou. Then Baima Yi was wiped out by the entire army. Even Gongsun Zan was surrounded and his life was hanging on the line. In critical moments, Zhao Yun wore a white battle robe and led more than a hundred personal soldiers to fight bravely to protect Gongsun Zan from the siege. In this battle, Zhao Yun fought fiercely with Ju Yi for more than 30 rounds, but Ju Yi was defeated and watched Zhao Yun cover Gongsun Zan and retreat.
At that time, no one in the Yuan army knew Zhao Yun because he was just a garrison leader of the Baima Yi under Gongsun Zan's tent. He had a low position and was unknown. Therefore, the generals of the Yuan army were called "white-robed young generals". Later, they learned that the white-robed young general who rescued Gongsun Zan and defeated Ju Yi was named Zhao Yun, with his courtesy name Zilong, and Zhao Yun, who had just fought with General Huan Fei.
After hearing this, his subordinates paid attention to investigation. It is said that after the Battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan valued Zhao Yun very much and promoted him to a military marquis, and he was with him. However, Zhao Yun was not a direct general under Gongsun Zan. In addition, he was still very experienced, so although he was a personal general of Gongsun Zan, he did not have the opportunity to lead troops alone. Later, his subordinates also heard that Zhao Yun had a close relationship with Liu Bei, a Sima of Gongsun Zan's other subordinate under Gongsun Zan's tent, and the details were unknown.
Oh, by the way, Liu Bei is the eldest of the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang who fought against Lu Bu at Hulao Pass. His surname is Liu, his name is Xuande, and he calls himself a descendant of the royal family. He is from Zhuo County. He was once a classmate and friend of Gongsun Zan. He was a disciple of Lu Zhi and is now recommended by Gongsun Zan as a Pingyuan Order."
After telling Zhao Yun's past experience in detail, Guo Jia mentioned Liu Bei in Zhuo County. However, from his expression and tone, it is not difficult to see that he despised Liu Bei very much. The only thing worthy of praise was the three heroes fighting Lu Bu at Hulao Pass. The reason why he mentioned Liu Bei's name was that he thought Li Li had never heard of Liu Bei.
However, Guo Jia did not know that in Li Li's mind, Liu Bei's weight in Zhuo County was far more important than Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, and far more than the current princes such as Zhang Yang, Zhang Miao of Hanoi, and Zhang Miao of Chenliu, and even paid more attention than Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Because, in Li Li's mind, Liu Bei was the person with the most tenacious and ambitious character in the separatist rule of the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, and was also the culprit for the chaos of the world at the end of the Han Dynasty.
It was precisely because of Liu Bei's existence that he had been defeated repeatedly, hiding in Tibet, leading the war from the north to the south, from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, which directly led to the three divisions of the world and promoting the situation of the three kingdoms. Subsequently, Liu Bei established the Shu Han regime, which caused the war to last for a long time in the late Han Dynasty, and greatly weakened the national strength, manpower and material resources of the Han nation. It was precisely because of this that a series of war-torn patterns such as the Jin and Ten Kingdoms, the Five Barbarians invaded China, and the North and South chaos caused the land of China to be ravaged by barbarians and wars lasted for hundreds of years.
Liu Bei, a benevolent and righteous ruler who was widely praised by later generations, had a grassroots man, but he insisted on calling himself a descendant of the royal family. He fled everywhere and took refuge in exile for more than 20 years, fleeing from Youzhou in the northeast to Sichuan and Shu in the southwest. Wherever he passed, he repeatedly provoked wars and fought against the princes, causing constant wars and trouble to the Han prefectures and counties. However, he finally succeeded and established the Shu Han regime.
Therefore, Liu Bei left his name in history and was regarded as the king of justice and the incarnation of orthodox imperial power, and was praised by emperors of all subsequent dynasties. Therefore, emperors of all dynasties have hidden their past bad deeds and recorded in history as all acts of benevolence and righteousness. The incarnation of justice has been passed down for generations. Until a thousand years later, the ruling class has changed rapidly, and looking at the ruling class again, it is almost the same as Liu Bei's life. Therefore, in order to consolidate the regime and deepen the people's concept of loyalty and righteousness, the rulers still regard him as a role model for the world and praise Youjia.
Right and wrong, merit and demerit will be judged by future generations. How can good and evil be blocked by black and white?
—————Reading history can distinguish right from wrong, know good or evil, learn from history, and use the past as a means of the present; this is the real reason why we like historical novels. People who have different opinions are different, and the opinions of a family are not worthy of trust. You guys just smile and pass them.
