【Chapter 422】 Bad deeds, grudges
PS: Thank you for your monthly ticket support from fgdfewrewr book friends, thank you!
The rain keeps falling.
Maybe with hatred?
Heaven and earth are unkind, and they regard all things as straw dogs.
The princes are in dispute, the lives are in trouble, and the people are in trouble; therefore there is hatred.
Or, a hero died young, and the heavens burst into tears to express his grief.
"Shit!"
The bonfire is getting stronger and stronger, and it is the same among more than ten tents. By baking the moisture in the tent, the newly built tents quickly dry and warm.
Li Xuan did not wait for Li Li's clear reply in the end, but he could see that his lord Li Li admired Zhao Yun very much. As for what his group's real intention was to come to Jizhou this time, no one could guess his thoughts without telling it.
"Is Zilong's injury okay? Suddenly it rained heavily and a straw hut was built temporarily. The conditions were simple. I hope Zilong will not be surprised."
The night was getting deeper. As Li Zhi held a Luo umbrella to block the heavy rain, Li Li slowly walked into the straw shed where Zhao Yun was temporarily living and said with concern.
Seeing Li Li enter the door and changing clothes again, Zhao Yun quickly stood up and said respectfully: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Some injuries are not inconvenient. You can recover after a few days of rest. Thank you for your concern. General, please sit down."
Among the more than ten rain-wearing straw sheds, only Zhao Yun lived alone in one straw shed. The others, including Li Li, were at least three people per room, and the ordinary entourage was even more than a dozen crowded in a straw shed.
It can be seen that Li Li was extremely polite to Zhao Yun, and the previous incident of Huan Fei seriously injured Zhao Yun made Li Li apologize.
"Zilong has injuries, so there is no need to be too polite. Please sit down quickly." In the straw shed, Li Li reached out to help Zhao Yun sit down and sat next to him.
By the bonfire, seeing Zhao Yun put on his Confucian shirt, Li Li smiled and said, "This Confucian shirt is an old shirt I have worn before. Fortunately, I am the same size as Zilong and I have limited conditions, so I feel wronged Zilong."
"The general is so serious." Zhao Yun said with gratitude: "In the heavy rain, I am fortunate to be taken care of by the general. It is a great honor to have a straw hut to shelter from the rain. How can I be so picky? The general's courtesy is so grateful that I will repay you in the future."
"It's just a matter of raising hands, why should I repay you? Zilong is out of here!" Li Li shook his head with a gentle smile, and then said, "Flying Hu is reckless by nature. He doesn't care about it, so he fought with Zilong. Fortunately, Zilong is very skilled in martial arts. He is extremely skilled and has no danger. Even so, I am still uneasy and deeply apologized. I hope Zilong is elegant and understands many of the previous rude things."
Zhao Yun said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "The general has said it. The previous incident was indeed reckless and he was riding a horse and hurting people. If General Zicheng had not taken action to hold the carriage in time, it would have almost caused a disaster. For this reason, I was very uneasy and ashamed. Then I wanted to explain and apologize. General Flying Tiger was so angry that I could not bear to fight with General Flying Tiger in the rain. During the fierce battle, General Flying Tiger saw that General Flying Tiger was so strong that I could not think too much, so I had to do my best. So,,,,,.
Alas, I feel ashamed! During the fierce battle, I had no time to take care of it. I accidentally injured General Feihu, and I was seriously injured. To be honest, General Feihu is so powerful and martial arts are the only ones I see in my life, and I can definitely be called the most powerful person in this world. Being defeated by General Feihu, I, Zhao Yun, was convinced and had no complaints."
Li Li nodded slightly and said as if nothing had happened: "Zilong is elegant and does not care about past grudges, but is a great man in the world. Since this is the case, the past will be abandoned and no one will be allowed to mention it again from now on.
However, I really admire Zilong's martial arts. His gun skills are exquisite and superb, and he is extremely powerful. To be honest, Feihu is the most powerful general under my command, and no one can match him. For several years, he has followed me to fight in the east and west, and no one can match him. In the rain today, Zilong's strength is not as strong as Huan Fei, but his martial arts are no less than him. This shows how high his martial arts are. I heard that Zilong is a high-level disciple of Senior Child Prodigy Yuan. Isn't this true, so I can be safe?"
Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this and said in surprise: "How do you know that I am a subordinate of Master Tong?"
As soon as this was said, Zhao Yun suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so he continued to say, "Oh, general, don't get me wrong. As the general said, the family master is indeed Tong Yuan, who was called the "Gun God" by the Green Forest Ranger, and I am the third child of the family master and a disciple of the closed party. Before me, there was still a senior brother Zhang Ren, who is now the general of the infantry army under the Liu Yan tent in Yizhou, and is named "Saint of Guns in Shu". The second senior brother Zhang Xiu, a native of Wuwei, Liangzhou, nicknamed "Northern Gun King", is the nephew of Zhang Ji, the general of Liangzhou. However, two years ago, I heard that Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew had been destroyed by the general, and Zhang Xiu was defeated by the general for three rounds and died. I wonder if this matter is correct?"
"Well, this is indeed the case." When Zhao Yun mentioned Zhang Xiu, Li Li keenly noticed that a trace of regret flashed in his eyes when he spoke, as if he had a close personal relationship with Zhang Xiu. However, Li Li still nodded without any concealment about this. After all, the fact that he killed Zhang Xiu in seconds within three rounds has long been widely known. This is an indisputable fact, and it cannot be concealed.
"During the Chang'an Rebellion, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew tried to take advantage of the chaos to make profits, and instigated the internal strife of the Xiliang generals, which then provoked a full-scale civil strife of the Xiliang army, which eventually triggered a war in the southern suburbs. During the war, I wanted to reach a reconciliation with the Xiliang general Guo Si and others, turn swords into jade, eliminate barriers, and avoid the full-scale battle between hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the two armies. Unexpectedly, when I was negotiating in front of the formation, Zhang Xiu suddenly launched a sneak attack, causing the war that had originally hoped to reach a reconciliation to take a sharp turn, and all previous efforts suddenly turned into nothing. In a rage, I killed Zhang Xiu in front of the formation, and in the subsequent battle, I killed Zhang Ji, and thus killed Zhang uncle and nephew.
But what I didn't expect was that Zhang Xiu had gone out of the same school as Zilong Master, and it was obvious that you two seemed to have a good personal relationship in the past. However, the deceased had passed away. I also cherished Zhang Xiu's talent in the past, but this man had to kill him."
Speaking of Zhang Ji and his nephew, although Li Li deliberately hid some unknown secrets, he could also be said to be based on the truth. During this period, he did not mix too many personal likes and dislikes, and explained the whole story. He said at the end that Zhang Xiu was indeed a talented person, but unfortunately he could not be used by me, so he killed him. In between the lines, Li Li's decisive way of dealing with things, and also had the domineering and majestic commander.
"Uh?" Zhao Yun was very surprised to see Li Li telling the secret of Xiliang without any concealment. He felt sorry for the death of his senior brother Zhang Xiu and was shocked by the decisive measures shown by Li Li.
At this moment, Zhao Yun suddenly found that Li Li, who was sitting beside him, was completely inconsistent with the cunning image of the rumor.
Before this, when he was under Gongsun Zan's tent in Youzhou, he often heard other Sima Liu Bei criticize Li Li of Xiliang and many bad deeds. For example, Li Li became warlike and was arbitrarily voluntarily conquered the loyal Han officials of Xiliang and Ma Teng; he was cruel by nature and enslaved hundreds of thousands of Qiang people around Xiliang, which aroused many barbarians to resist; he committed rebellion and imprisoned the emperor and the queen mother; he was unfaithful and unrighteous, and embezzled the Xiliang army left by Dong Zhuo; he was unfilial and unkind, and he fought with his uncle Li Jue who raised him, causing hundreds of thousands of Xiliang soldiers to fight bloody battles, etc.
In Liu Bei's words, Li Li of Xiliang was full of bad deeds and was unforgivable. He had countless evil deeds. He was really full of evil deeds, and everyone in the world was punished.
Compared with Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, the head coach of the army, did not make any negative comments about Li Li. On the contrary, Gongsun Zan admired Li Li of Xiliang very much and praised him very highly, calling him the "Northwest Tiger". Because he and Li Li were both border guards, one stationed on the northeastern border and the other occupied the northwest border. The situations they faced were quite similar, and they were both commanders of the commanders of the commanders who resisted the invasion of barbarians. However, because of the friendship between classmates and classmates and nothing to do with him, Gongsun Zan rarely directly refuted Liu Bei's words of slandering Li Li of Xiliang. However, all of this was seen by Zhao Yun, the Marquis of the Personal Army, but he did not know which was right or wrong between Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei. He was very confused about this.
Until now, he had a close contact with Li Li, listening to his words and observing his actions, Zhao Yun knew the truth that hearing is false and seeing is true. In just one hour of time, he had a preliminary understanding and personal experience of Li Li. In his opinion, Li Li in Xiliang was definitely not the kind of sinister and cunning person Liu Bei said. It was just the opposite. Li Li was open-minded, kind, sunny and handsome, and showed the grandeur and majesty that the strong man of the world should have in every word and action. Li Li's confident and sunny positive mentality was in sharp contrast with the depressed and unsuccessful Liu Bei. The two were alone and different, and they were no match for each other.
At the same time, Zhao Yun also knew that he had been with Li Li for a short time, and knew people but not his heart. It was too early to draw a conclusion. What's more, he had to resign from Gongsun Zan's account this time, and he had urgent matters to do, and he had no intention of describing him.
In addition, although Zhao Yun understood the reason why the second senior brother Zhang Xiu died under Li Li's knife, he still had grudges in his heart. Especially when facing Li Li, he would think of Zhang Xiu, so he could not let go. This is because he and Zhang Xiu studied art under Tong Yuan's school in the past, and lived together for several years. Zhang Xiu was older than him and took good care of him, so the friendship between his brothers was deep.
However, Zhang Xiu was very utilitarian. After he was successful in his studies, he rushed down the mountain and entered Zhang Ji's army. Unexpectedly, he parted five years ago and became a permanent judge. Now Zhang Xiu has been dead for a long time, and the person who killed his senior brother was sitting in front of him, Zhao Yun. How could he face such a scene? How could he bear it?
Avenge your senior brother Zhang Xiu?
Two years ago, Zhao Yun did have this idea, and once hated Li Li of Xiliang for a very strong hatred and aroused revenge. However, since he joined the army and followed Gongsun Zan to fight, this hatred gradually faded away. Battles on the battlefield have always been a matter of life and death. As a military general, death on the battlefield is a fate, not personal grudges and revenge. If all the relatives of soldiers who died on the battlefield have a grudge and are determined to seek revenge, when will the revenge be revenge be stopped, I am afraid that people in the world will have long died in the revenge.
