Mi Han

Chapter 62 School Field Battles

Berkshire, Fish Belly County.

On that day, the weather in Yufu County was clear and sunny.

At this time, a competition was about to begin in the military barracks in Yubu County.

In the school field, there were two groups of soldiers standing behind their own generals.

Among the two groups of soldiers, there was a group of soldiers who were all wearing pitch-black fine armor, and there were white bird feathers and animal feathers on their heads.

In today's bright sunshine, these white feathers look extraordinary and eye-catching under the sunlight.

If someone from the Wei army who had just participated in the Battle of Hanzhong was present, they would definitely recognize the identity of this army.

This army was Liu Bei's pro-army, the Bai Wu Bing, who beat them to death in the Hanzhong battle not long ago.

But the identity of the general standing in front of Liu Bei's elite army now straddling his horse and being watched with admiration by these white scorpion soldiers is also self-evident.

He was the general of the Yi Army, Chang Shan, Zhao Yun, and Zhao Zilong, who was entrusted with important tasks by Liu Bei and who was responsible for his internal affairs.

In "Shuowen Jiezi" written by Xu Shen, a great Confucian of the Han Dynasty, the word "Yi" is interpreted as "Flying appearance", that is, the appearance of taking off;

And "Yi" is also connected with "wing", which means assisting.For example, Liu Bei once praised Zhao Yun as "Yi praises Ji Xing".

Therefore, Liu Bei specially gave Zhao Yun the name Yijun, and praised Zhao Yun as a parachutist who could assist him in the Sanxing Han Dynasty.

This year, Liu Bei ascended the throne as the King of Hanzhong. In order to motivate the army, Liu Bei named Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao as the four major generals, but Zhao Yun was not included.

The reason why Liu Bei didn't designate Zhao Yun, who had followed him for many years and worked hard, as one of the four major generals was because he considered balancing the interests of all parties under his rule.

This year Liu Bei became the queen, and sent Sima and Qianwei from the front of Yizhou to Fei Shi to Guan Yu's residence to grant Guan Yu the official seal.

When Guan Yu heard that Huang Zhong had the same status as himself, he once said angrily: "A real man will never be ranked with a veteran!"

At first he refused to accept the appointment.

Guan Yu's reaction at that time was not because he despised Huang Zhong too much, but because he was complaining about Zhao Yun.

You must know that during the battle in Hanzhong, Huang Zhong's status was only one of the many generals controlled by Zhao Yun.

But in the face of Guan Yuqi's grievances, Zhao Yun, the person involved, never took this matter to heart.

He has never complained or regretted, he is as loyal to Liu Bei as usual, and he is as cautious and dedicated to his duties as usual.

I saw Zhao Yun, who was eight feet long and majestic in appearance, was sitting on the horse in the school yard of Yufu County, looking at the general opposite with a calm face.

Zhao Yun was wearing a silver-white heart armor and a snow-white battle robe on his back. He held a fine steel spear in his hand, pointing the tip of the spear obliquely at the ground.

Although Zhao Yun was sitting on the tall horse and hadn't moved his body yet, he just stood there quietly, and an invisible coercion was constantly being released.

This put enormous pressure on the heart of the general on the opposite side.

The general who faced Zhao Yun was Chen Dao, who was also a general under Liu Bei's command.

Chen Dao, courtesy name Shuzhi, was born in Runan, Yuzhou.

In the first year of Jian'an, Chen Dao defected to him when Liu Bei was the shepherd of Yuzhou.

Since he defected, Chen Dao has been loyal to Liu Bei.

Because of Chen Dao's prudent character, Liu Bei often ordered Chen Dao and Zhao Yun to be in charge of the Bai Mubing together, but his status has always been lower than Zhao Yun's.

Chen Dao and Zhao Yun belonged to Liu Bei's direct descendants of Yuan Cong, and the two had been in charge of the same army, so the relationship between the two has always been very good.

It has been a while since Zhao Yun led the white scorpion soldiers to Yubu County, Chen Dao, who is the head of the fish belly, has nothing to do today, and seeing that the weather is very good today, so he specially invited Zhao Yun to compete in the school field in the city.

Although Chen Dao was known for being good at training soldiers under Liu Bei's command, compared with his command, his own military strength is also good.

Faced with this invitation from his friend, Zhao Yun naturally had no reason to refuse.

Chen Dao looked at Zhao Yun, who was not far away from him. Although Zhao Yun pointed the point of his gun at the ground, he looked defenseless.

But Chen Dao had been with Zhao Yun for a long time, and naturally knew that Zhao Yunming seemed to be defenseless on the surface, but in Chen Dao's eyes, there was no flaw in Zhao Yunzhou at this time.

Zhao Yun was quietly waiting for Chen Dao's attack. It was not because of his poor riding skills, so he wanted to focus on defense.

In fact, his riding skills are so good. He used to be a member of the White Horse Yi Cong. Among the generals under Liu Bei's command, only the three generals Guan, Zhang, and Ma can drive with him.

The reason why Zhao Yun didn't take the initiative to make a move was because he was worried that with his superb riding skills, once he made a move, Chen Dao might not even have a chance to resist.
After Zhao Yun and Chen Dao looked at each other for a long time, Chen Dao couldn't hold his breath in the end.

Chen Dao took a deep breath in his heart, and then he drove the steed under his lap and rushed towards Zhao Yun quickly.

After a while, Chen Dao rushed to Zhao Yun on his horse.

Before and after the horse rushed to Zhao Yun, Chen Dao temporarily got up on the galloping horse with his excellent equestrian skills, and then he raised his big knife with both hands and slashed at Zhao Yun.

The difference from Zhao Yun is that Chen Dao is like Guan Yu, making it a big sword.

Compared with weapons like long spears that value skill, broadswords value the strength of the user more.

Now Chen Dao was driving the steed under his crotch towards Zhao Yun at high speed, and the high speed of the horse exerted huge inertia on Chen Dao's body.

People borrow horsepower, and Chen Dao's own strength is not bad, so Chen Dao's movement of slashing with a knife can be described as powerful.

Ordinary military commanders would temporarily try to avoid such a ferocious attack.

But Zhao Yun is not an ordinary military general, only facing Chen Dao's downward strike, Zhao Yun did not rush, he raised the spear in his hand to block in front of him.

Soon the sound of iron objects colliding was like a muffled thunder, exploding between Zhao Yun and Chen Dao.

Facing Chen Dao's attack with all his strength, Zhao Yun easily accepted the blow with only an understatement.

This scene made Chen Dao secretly praise him.

Years have passed, and Zhao Yun's bravery has not regressed at all.

Chen Dao had known Zhao Yun for a long time, so he knew that he could not defeat Zhao Yun with this blow.

Therefore, after the attack failed, Chen Dao immediately drove his horse past Zhao Yun, and when he got behind Zhao Yun, he drove his horse towards Zhao Yun again.

This time Chen Dao chose close combat.

Chen Daonai is a veteran general with good military strength.

He waved the big knife in his hand, and the knife flowers formed during the swing of the big knife appeared densely packed under Chen Dao's movements.

But when the dense swords fell on Zhao Yun, they were blocked by Zhao Yun one by one with the spear in his hand.

After going under such a high-intensity attack for a while, the rather old Chen Dao gradually felt a little powerless.

And Zhao Yun seemed to be aware of this.

After Chen Dao swung a saber and was blocked by Zhao Yunge, Zhao Yun took advantage of Chen Dao's old power exhausted and before his new power was born, when he flipped his right hand, the tip of the long spear in his hand was like a wandering dragon, following Chen Dao The blade of the knife slid all the way up, and finally stopped at Chen Dao's throat.

And when Zhao Yun's spear pointed at Chen Dao's throat, Chen Dao just belatedly realized all this.

The contest between the two has progressed to this moment, and the outcome is already clear.

The Bai Mu soldiers behind Zhao Yun saw that their leader had won without any surprises, and their faces were also filled with the joy of victory.

It is also their honor to have such a powerful general.

After the winner was decided, Chen Dao, who was careful, saw the hoof marks of his steed on the open space where he and Zhao Yun fought in the school field.

On the other hand, Zhao Yun, since the beginning of the battle between the two, Zhao Yun and his horse have never left their original positions for even half a step.

After seeing this scene, Chen Dao was filled with emotion.

Both he and Zhao Yun have reached the age of knowing their destiny. As they grow older, they are not as good as before, but Zhao Yun is getting older and stronger.

Now that the winner has been decided, Chen Dao immediately dropped the sword in his hand, and he said to Zhao Yun annoyedly,

"Old and old, when I was in Xinye, I could still fight you for thirty rounds.

Now it has been defeated in about [-] rounds. "

Hearing what Chen Dao said, Zhao Yun put away his spear, and with a warm smile on his face, he said to Chen Dao,
"Among the generals in Xinye back then, Shuzhi, you were not famous for your military strength, so why should you be troubled by your lack of military strength today?"

"Compared to the strength of force, Shuzhi, you are more suitable to be the general of one side, stationed on one side.

This is what I am inferior to. "

Zhao Yun's relief made Chen Dao's annoyance subside a lot.

What Zhao Yun said was indeed the truth.

Although Yufu County is a county, its geographical location is special, and it is the only way for Jingzhou to enter Yizhou.

For such a dangerous place, Liu Bei can hand it over to Chen Dao to guard it, which shows his trust in Chen Dao's ability.

　Later generations said that the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms exaggerated the personal strength of the five tiger generals.

　　But in the real history, let alone Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, the three generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are really powerful people.
