I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 41 The Fierce General Zhao Yun
Li Shimin was also very anxious. He didn't expect that the Yellow Turban Army was not so vulnerable. At least the current team was not weak.If it continues to drag on, the situation of the battle may become more and more unfavorable to him.

To capture the thief first, capture the king, Li Shimin found a chance to fight on the chaotic battlefield.Immediately, he took the lead, Ma Qian swept across, picked and killed the enemy in front of him, and quickly rushed towards Zhang Niujiao.

Zhang Niujiao soon discovered that the commander-in-chief of the Han army was coming towards him, snorted coldly in his heart, and rushed over on horseback.He is also a rare fierce general in the Yellow Turban Army. Since his debut, he has not met a decent opponent, so this guy is a little swollen.

The two started their final confrontation on this noisy battlefield.Li Shimin's long lance was like the wind, fast and violent, and his moves were fierce. The seemingly inconspicuous blow actually contained a powerful force. The opponent he hit had no power to parry and kept passively defending.

Zhang Niujiao obviously misestimated the opponent's strength, thinking that he was in the Yellow Turban Army and had no strong opponents. After fighting, he found out that this person was extremely terrifying. Only then did he know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people. It's just that there is no regret medicine to buy .

In less than a few rounds, Li Shimin tried to find out his reality, and he was not prepared to entangle him too much. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he picked up the enemy's sword and flew away. In the blink of an eye, a gale slashed like a god who smashed Huashan. , and cut off the head of the enemy general with one blow.

Seeing the tragic death of their own leader and the remaining yellow turban soldiers, they soon lost their fighting spirit.It's about to collapse.

…………

When Zhao Yun saw the arrival of the main force of the Han army, he immediately led the remaining 200 soldiers to open the city gate and rush out.Although there were only about two hundred people, they walked among the dead once, and all of them were murderous. After rushing into the crowd, they began to slash and kill with all their might, venting their anger.

Under the awe of Li Shimin's powerful cavalry, under the killing of the horizontal knife, and his leader had been beheaded, the remaining Yellow Turban Army had no leader, and could no longer hold on. They quickly dropped their weapons one after another and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Li Shimin ordered that the soldiers who surrendered should not be killed at will, but should be captured.Li Shimin achieved a lot in this battle. In addition to money and food, he also captured more than 5 Yellow Turbans.

"I was lucky enough to survive this battle, thanks to this fierce cavalry of the Han army, otherwise I would die for the country." Zhao Yun was also very emotional.

He noticed that there were a few extremely brave generals in this army, the red-faced fierce general who held a long knife and was incomparably domineering. Charged to the right, unstoppable, and the enemies he killed were scattered everywhere.

Even the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army is by no means an ordinary person. The envoy Ma Qian was so extraordinary that he beheaded Zhang Niujiao in two or three strokes. The strength of these three people may not be inferior to his own. Zhao Yun immediately felt a sense of friendship. , Since ancient times, heroes cherish heroes.

He walked quickly to Li Shimin, knelt on one knee and cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, General, for saving me. General Zhao Yun is very grateful."

Although Li Shimin had expected it in his heart, he was still very shocked when he heard such an introduction from this person.Right now, this man is eight feet long, has a majestic appearance, wears a white robe, and holds a gentian spear in his hand. He is majestic and heroic. Seeing that his aura is not weaker than the two generals under his command, Li Shimin is very sure that it is Zhao Zilong No doubt about it.

"Haha, get up quickly, general. Zhending City is not broken, it's all thanks to the general's bloody battle, and his meritorious service." Li Shimin said with a smile: "Li Shimin, the prefect of Yanmen, is lucky to see the general today."

"I don't know, general, where do you serve now?" Li Shimin asked with some expectation. Naturally, he was very eager to draw Zhao Yun into him. He liked this unparalleled general in his previous life.

Historically, Zhao Yun was recommended by the county, led the rebel army to join Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong, and met Liu Bei in Youzhou.He later left due to the death of his older brother.About 7 years later, Liu Bei, who met an acquaintance in Yecheng, took refuge in him.

"Leading the Xiangyong, I spontaneously participated in the fight against the Yellow Turban rebellion. Some time ago, because the Yellow Turban soldiers were too numerous to resist, the official army gathered all the surrounding brave troops in Zhending and guarded this official warehouse. He came from a humble background, and although he has made a lot of military exploits, he is still in vain." Zhao Yun said with some disappointment.

"The general is unparalleled in bravery. It's a pity that the imperial court selects scholars based on their family status. It's a pity that such a pillar of the country as the general is lost to the countryside." The conversation continued: "The general is willing to join our army. You and I are brothers and sisters. To serve the country, and make the world a brighter place?"

In fact, Zhao Yun had the idea of ​​joining Li Shimin long ago. He started in humble beginnings. If he wanted to stand out in this troubled world, he naturally had to follow the hero.

In addition, he had the grace to save his life, so Zhao Yun quickly made up his mind and said sincerely: "Thank you, General, for valuing him. If you don't give up, you will eventually be willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

Seeing Zhao Yun bowing down, Li Shimin was overjoyed, and immediately helped Zhao Yun up, and said with joy, "I got Zhao Yun, it's like a tiger with wings, haha."

Li Shimin asked Zhang Liao to cut off all the heads of the main bandit leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, marinate them with lime, and prepare them as proof of merit.

After a day of long-distance raiding and fighting, the army was a little tired, and Li Shimin still had [-] to [-] prisoners to deal with, so tonight, he decided to camp in Zhending and gather the prisoners to take care of them.

…………

In Zhending Taishou's mansion, all the generals gathered together, respectfully and solemnly, waiting for Li Shimin to issue orders.

From the beginning, Li Shimin introduced Zhao Zilong to everyone under his command. "I'm sure I can stick to it until today. Thanks to General Zilong's vigorous sailing, this ancient city was spared. From now on, General Zilong will be one of us. I hope everyone will help each other and make new contributions!"

All the generals present also clasped their fists to express their welcome. Zhao Yun also felt everyone's sincere friendship, and his heart was very warm.

"Right now, our army still has more than 9000 cavalry, and more than [-] people have been captured. What should we do next? What's your plan?" Li Shimin also wanted to hear everyone's thoughts, so he simply brought up this topic and asked everyone to discuss it together. Fan.

The people present are basically generals. They are good at marching and fighting, but they are not good at resourcefulness.

Therefore, only Xi Zhi stood up and said: "My lord, I think that although our army has won a big victory, our strength is limited after all. Moreover, the cavalry is good at surprise attacks, but not good at attacking cities. It is very likely that there will be head-to-head battles in the future. Besides, we The army has just arrived in Jizhou, and they are not familiar with the place, and have not yet established a firm foothold, so rashly attacking will only be worth the loss."

Seeing that Li Shimin was thoughtful and didn't stop him, Xi Zhicai continued, "Why don't we first station in Zhending and manage and consolidate the two counties of Zhongshan and Changshan. Make it the base camp for our army to attack the Yellow Turban Army, so that we can fight steadily , in order to remain invincible.”
