The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 73

Seeing that it was Cao Cao coming, Xi Yu nodded at him.

This time Cao Jun's battle in Xuzhou is almost over now.

Cao Cao is now sitting in the rear, and Cao Ren and others in the front are confronting each other with the Xuzhou army.

They are at a stalemate up to now.

At this time, Cao Cao glanced at the chessboard in front of Xi Yu, and immediately after sitting down, he unconsciously glanced at the school field next to him.

"That is?"

In the school grounds, two figures fighting each other fought back and forth.

Dianwei's halberds were wide open and closed, and there was a shout when they attacked. Although Zhao Yun was silent, the spear in his hand was hard to get into by splashing water.

Such a tyrannical duel naturally attracted Cao Cao's attention in the first place.

After recognizing Dian Wei's figure, Cao Cao paid more attention to the other person.

Cao Cao knew what kind of force Dian Wei was.

And being able to compete with Dian Wei, and even sometimes suppressing Dian Wei's opponents, such a person naturally attracted Cao Cao's attention.

At this time, Zhao Yun had already changed into a normal uniform, so it was normal that Cao Cao didn't recognize who the other party was at the first time.

When Xi Yu heard Cao Cao's question, he glanced at Cao Cao indifferently.

"This person is the one I captured that day, Zhao Yun, named Zilong!"

"Zhao Zilong?"

Cao Cao murmured at the corner of his mouth.

The whole person was a little surprised, he thought that the young general in white robe that Xi Yu casually captured that day was just an inconspicuous figure.

Who would have thought that only when they met today would they know how brave the other party is.

Of course, Cao Cao, who has seen Xi Yu's bravery, no longer has the same vision as before.

However, for a tyrannical general like Zhao Yun, he naturally understood in his heart.

Not everyone can compare with Xi Yu. Generals like Guan Yu and Dian Wei are already rare figures in the world.

And Zhao Yun, who can be compared with him, and sometimes even overwhelms Dian Wei, such a general is naturally not an ordinary person.

Cao Cao couldn't help feeling a little hot in his heart.

No wonder that guy Liu Xuande wrote to him every day asking him to send Zhao Yun back.

It turned out that he didn't care about the young general in white robe, so brave!

After knowing how powerful Zhao Yun was, Cao Cao no longer cared about Liu Bei's letter.

put it back?
I don't think about it!

How could the general he met so hard be sent back to Liu Bei like this.

Subconsciously, Cao Cao lowered his gaze on Xi Yu.

"Fong Yi!"

Cao Cao had a smile on his face, and the corners of his brows were slightly bent.

Seeing this scene, Xi Yu instantly understood what the other party meant.

Just now Cao Cao stared at Zhao Yun's staring figure in the field, but he saw it clearly.

However, Zhao Yun, it is impossible for him to give it to Cao Cao.

What's more, Zhao Yun did not serve him at the moment, and with Zhao Yun's character, it would be extremely difficult to serve Cao Cao.

"Brother, I do understand!"

Xi Yu smiled: "However, Zilong is a loyal person, so I'm afraid he won't serve you!"

"I captured him this time because I just wanted to get acquainted with him!"

"Tomorrow, I will let him leave the camp!"

When Xi Yu said this, Cao Cao's face immediately collapsed when he heard this.

However, it is not so easy to make Cao Cao give up.

In his opinion, who can say what has never been tried before!
However, now that Xi Yu had already said that, Cao Cao was not in a hurry.

He glanced down at the chessboard in front of him, then smiled: "Feng Yi is playing chess, I'll accompany you to the next game!"

While speaking, Cao Cao took the initiative to place the chess pieces in a good position.

"Fengyi, as you expected, our army wants to capture Xuzhou before the New Year's Eve, which is very serious!"

After pushing the chess piece, Cao Cao sighed and said something.

Right now, he is a little hesitant, seeing that most of Xuzhou is already in his hands, and if he goes further, he may be able to take the entire Xuzhou under his command.

How could one be willing to give up on something like this.

However, the restrictions of Xuzhou's policy and a series of things had to make Cao Cao consider whether it was time to retreat.

He can't decide now, after asking Xi Zhicai, Zhicai also advised him to withdraw.

However, he still wanted to ask Xi Yu.

"Brother actually already has an idea in mind, it's nothing more than a choice!"

Xi Yu understood that Cao Cao was not someone who couldn't see the pros and cons in front of him.

With Xuzhou right in front of us, how can ordinary people give up such a temptation lightly.

Obviously, if you go one step further, you will be able to occupy the entire Xuzhou.

At that time, sitting in the land of the two states, the princes who can stand shoulder to shoulder in the whole world, except Yuan Shao, who else can be regarded by Cao Cao.

But now is not the time.

"My brother has occupied Yanzhou for only two years now. Although people's hearts are stable, the land of Yanzhou is not like an iron barrel."

"Although Xuzhou is good, Yanzhou is the base of our army!"

Xi Yu reminded me casually.

He didn't directly say that Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others sought Yanzhou, but it will happen as a result of history.

It will not change because of my own existence.

And all this was caused by Cao Cao's attitude towards the Yanzhou gentry.

The current Yanzhou appears to be under the rule of Cao Cao on the surface, but it is suppressed by force after all.

If Cao Cao is trapped here because of Xuzhou in front of him.

At that time, Chen Gong and others will naturally not give up such a good opportunity.

If Yanzhou was in chaos, Xuzhou, which had just been swallowed at that time, would be like a stick in the throat, neither swallowing nor spitting out.

At that time, it will be a big problem.

Cao Cao didn't know that Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others had different intentions, so he couldn't say it clearly.

However, Xi Yu is clear.

Now to the extreme, I can only retreat!
Or, let yourself go back!
As long as he is in Yanzhou, with the cooperation of Xun Yu, Chen Gong and others will not be able to cause any trouble at all.

"Fengyi is right, Yanzhou is my foundation!"

Xi Yu's words awakened Cao Cao in an instant.

Xuzhou is here, he will be able to bring Xuzhou under his command sooner or later, what's the rush?
After thinking it over in his heart, Cao Cao didn't stay any longer.

Withdrawing from Xuzhou, he still needs to arrange some things next.

It is impossible for these captured towns to just give up, so he naturally has to arrange people to garrison them.

After Cao Cao left, on the other side of the school field, the discussion between Zhao Yun and Dian Wei also came to an end.

Seeing Zhao Yun and Dian Wei coming back, Xi Yu took a special look at Zhao Yun.

With the eyesight of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, it was not difficult to find Cao Cao.

Sure enough, as soon as the two came over, Dian Wei asked in a low voice: "How did Master Zhou go?"

"Just chatting about something!"

Xi Yu didn't elaborate, but looked at Zhao Yun quietly.

Zhao Yun didn't speak at this time, he naturally noticed Cao Cao just now.

As a prisoner, he didn't want to have too much contact with Cao Cao, just to avoid suspicion.

Xi Yu understood, but didn't say much.

After Zhao Yun sat down again, fine sweat was evident on his forehead, and Dian Wei next to him was similar, but he was more strenuous than Zhao Yun.

"Boy Zhao's spear skills are really good, it makes me fearful, and it's uncomfortable to fight!"

Dian Wei chuckled.

The two competed, and a general like Zhao Yun with both skills and strength had very obvious restrictions on Dian Wei.

This is not on a horse, if it is on a war horse, the threat will be greater.

Of course, it wasn't a fight in a battle formation, Dian Wei also put in his best effort, if it was a real fight, the winner or loser is still uncertain.

"General Dian is not bad either. Yun didn't dare to get distracted when he dealt with it!"

Zhao Yun smiled at Dian Wei, and after a round of sparring, there was less barrier between the two.

Although they are from different camps, the generals still have some sympathy for each other.

For a fierce general like Dian Wei, Zhang Fei overlaps in Zhao Yun's impression.

However, the two are ultimately different.

Zhang Fei also opens and closes widely, but among his Zhangba Snake Spear, there is still some dexterity in it.

Dian Wei's double halberds are different. Although they have skills, they use power to overwhelm others.

After the two fought, the atmosphere in the courtyard improved a lot.

Xi Yu looked at Zhao Yun, and suddenly frowned.

"Zilong, I heard that you have an older brother in your family?"

Regarding Zhao Yun's situation, if Xi Yu remembers correctly, the other party does have an elder brother in his family, but it is rumored that his physical condition is not very good.

"To be honest, Mr. Yun has an elder brother, but the elder brother is different from Yun. In the early years, Yun went to the mountains with his master to practice martial arts, but the elder brother is just an ordinary villager!"

"Besides, my brother has been ill these years, and Yun hasn't been home to see him for a long time!"

Zhao Yun sighed, although he didn't know why Xi Yu suddenly asked about his brother.

However, thinking of his elder brother, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Back then, I went up to the mountain to practice martial arts with my master, and my elder brother took care of the house alone. These years, I have been ill for a long time, but my elder brother has suffered a lot.

This time when Xi Yu mentioned it, he didn't know how his brother was in good health these years.

"Zilong, to be honest, I know some medical skills and theories. I may be able to cure your brother's illness!"

Xi Yu thought for a while and said something casually.

If he guessed correctly, Zhao Yun's elder brother should have lung disease, which is difficult to treat according to the medical conditions of this era.

He still doesn't know how serious the other party's lung disease is.

However, there are many medicines for lung diseases in later generations.

The famous penicillin is still effective for some lung diseases.

As for penicillin, it only took some effort to manufacture it in this era!
"Is what sir said true?"

Hearing Xi Yu speak, Zhao Yun suddenly raised his head and glanced at the other party. For him, his elder brother is now the person he values ​​most.

Zhao Yun's heart and mind is to cure his elder brother's illness, and he has often sought out famous doctors over the years.

"If there is no difference in expectations, there should be no problem!"

Xi Yu nodded with a smile: "Zilong, how can I just joke around about matters that matter to human life!"

"This!"

Zhao Yun paused!
The person in front of him might really be able to save his elder brother, but at what cost?
He knew that it was impossible for the other party to help him for no reason.

And the so-called price is probably myself.

It's just that I have already planned to recognize Liu Bei as the master in my heart. If this time because of my elder brother, I want to serve others, it will be against my morals.

However, his elder brother is the closest person he has in this world.

Knowing that he could save his brother's life, but let him give up, how could he do it.

Zhao Yun's heart became more and more entangled, and even his face began to become extremely pale.

Xi Yu glanced at the other party, and naturally knew that Zhao Yun was probably making a choice in his heart.

However, it is useless to coerce people like Zhao Yun.

He also disdains to coerce Zhao Yun to serve him by means of curing diseases.

After all, he has lessons learned from Boss Cao.

Later, Cao Cao used Xu Shu's mother to coerce Xu Shu to come to Cao Ying. As a result, even though Xu Shu came, he still didn't give Cao Cao any advice.

Such an approach is meaningless.

"Zilong don't have to worry about it. I won't force you to work for me. I really have a solution for your brother's illness."

"To capture you this time, I just want to get acquainted with you!"

Xi Yu smiled, then continued to speak.

"To be honest, our army will retreat in a few days this time, and at that time, I will let you go too!"

"I'm telling you this, not to threaten you, but as a friend's concern. If your elder brother is really in trouble in the future, Zilong can come to Juancheng to find me at any time!"

Xi Yu didn't hide anything, and even told Zhao Yun about Cao Jun's retreat soon.

Zhao Yun was a little surprised when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, Xi Yu even told him such a thing, but he was overthinking it.

"Mr. Yun's kindness, I will remember it!"

Zhao Yun didn't say much, but he felt a lot relieved when he learned that his brother's illness had been cured. Now all he had to do was to ask Liu Bei for leave and go back to his hometown to visit his brother.

……

It's early December!

During this period, snow began to fall in the north. Taking advantage of the heavy snow for a while, Cao Cao planned to withdraw his troops after solving Xuzhou's signal.

Cao Chun, Xia Houyuan and others were temporarily placed in Xuzhou by Cao Cao.

Outside Dongping City.

Xi Yu personally sent Zhao Yun out of the city gate.

"Zilong, see you in the future!"

Nodding towards Zhao Yun, Xi Yu didn't say much.

Zhao Yun also felt a little emotional, Xi Yu really wanted to let him go as he said at the beginning.

"Sir, see you tomorrow!"

Arching his hands towards Xi Yu, Zhao Yun put away his spear and rode his horse directly towards Xuzhou City.

At this moment, Cao Cao standing on the Dongping city wall was quite emotional.

Although Xi Yu told him that it was not easy to subdue Zhao Yun, Cao Cao was still unwilling after all.

During this period of time, he gave Zhao Yun many gifts, and even got close to Zhao Yun by visiting Xi Yu.

However, all the gifts sent over were rejected by Zhao Yun.

When he went to visit Xi Yu, Zhao Yun even avoided him.

Seeing Zhao Yun leave now, Cao Cao sighed a little. It's a pity that this man is so brave, but he can't use it for himself.

At the same time, in Xuzhou city.

Many people in Xuzhou already knew the news that Cao Jun planned to withdraw.

However, now that most of Xuzhou has fallen, this can only barely be regarded as good news!
Xuzhou, Xiapi.

Where Liu Bei was stationed.

After learning the news that Cao Jun planned to withdraw, Liu Bei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, regarding Zhao Yun's news, Cao Cao had responded to him before, but he didn't even reply later.

This made Liu Bei feel a little worried.

"Brother, let me see, that kid Zhao Yun is definitely taking refuge in Cao Cao!"

Zhang Fei snorted directly with his throat.

In his view, there was no news for nearly a month, and Zhao Yun might have joined Cao Cao!

Hearing this, Liu Bei retorted subconsciously.

"Yide, stop talking nonsense, Zilong is not that kind of person!"

Although he said this, Liu Bei didn't have much confidence in his heart.

In the final analysis, the current Zhao Yun did not fully serve him. Zhao Yun was just what he begged from Gongsun Zan!
He didn't have much to say about the fact that he really worked for Cao Cao.

About frowning: "Zilong, I can't help myself if I think about it!"

Compared with the situation when Zhao Yun was captured by Xi Yu that day, Guan Yu felt a little heavy.

I thought that there was only one person like Lu Bu in the world.

However, the appearance of Xi Yu made Guan Yu feel a little dazed until now.

I can't even take a single blow, this, how is this possible!

Guan Yu didn't want to believe it, but the fact was that, he was indeed repelled by Xi Yu with one blow that day.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party didn't have the intention to kill, Zhao Yun might not be the only one who was captured.

Zhang Fei didn't think much about it.

"Hmph, what is involuntary, there is no news at all!"

"If you are really a loyal person, you would rather die than surrender!"

Zhang Fei curled his lips: "Didn't he surrender, or what?"

From Zhang Fei's point of view, there is no news about Zhao Yun now. If the other party would rather die than surrender, how could there be no news at all.

Seeing that his two elder brothers were all sullen, Zhang Fei didn't say much, turned around and walked out of the house with a cold snort.

At this moment, Zhao Yun, who learned from Xuzhou that Liu Bei was stationed in Xiapi, also rushed to Xiapi on horseback at this time.

He had just entered the city, and after learning about Liu Bei's residence, Zhao Yun immediately rushed towards Liu Bei's direction.

From a long distance away, he saw Zhang Fei holding a spear and waving it not far away.

"Yide, I'm back!"

Zhao Yun happily yelled at Zhang Fei. After hearing the voice, the latter turned his head and saw Zhao Yun who was flattering him.

Seeing the person coming, Zhang Fei suddenly seemed to be furious.

"Thief, dare to come back!"

Ignoring Zhao Yun's expression, seeing that Zhao Yun had just approached, Zhang Fei straightened out his long spear and charged towards Zhao Yun.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun immediately swung his gun to block the blow.

"Yide, what does this mean?"

Zhao Yun was a little puzzled. He just came back, and Zhang Fei pointed his gun at him and stabbed him. No one could understand who it was.

"Hmph, Zhao, haven't you already joined Cao Cao?" Zhang Fei sneered, "Why, come back at this time, do you still want to persuade us to join you in serving Cao Cao?"

As soon as he spoke these words, Zhao Yun couldn't help feeling cold.

He was captured for a month, and he never met Cao Cao, even when he visited, he always avoided him.

Although he knew that Zhang Fei had misunderstood him, who would be willing to suffer such grievances, what's more, he was only seconded to help, and he was not Zhang Fei's subordinate.

"General Zhang misunderstood, Zilong never served anyone!"
