Chapter 72 After the War
"General, the battlefield has been cleared."

An hour later, on the banks of the Feishui River, which had calmed down, Zhao Yun looked at the mud and chaos in front of him, feeling overwhelmed for a moment.

Zhang Xiu died. Under the rain of arrows, he launched one last charge. When he appeared in front of him again, he actually had no strength to fight anymore.

What supports him may just be the "Xiliang Army" in his mouth.

His death in battle ultimately did not inspire the Xiliang Army's memories of the past. He died in his own hands, allowing himself to stab his throat with one shot.

After his death, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army became even more flustered, allowing them to win easily. Perhaps this battle was not easy.

"How about the battle damage?"

"Our army suffered heavy casualties. Although General Mi Wei dug out the water, more than a thousand people died at the hands of Zhang Xiu in the previous battle.

Although our troops and horses are good, we still can't withstand the charge of the Xiliang cavalry. "

"In addition, two men from Tun Changyangqun and Ding Li who mounted the cavalry first were killed in the battle, and the school captain and the team leader were no less than ten.

Almost all our luggage was destroyed.",

After Gao Xiang finished speaking, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. At this time, he also had a wound on his left shoulder. The knife almost destroyed his arm.
"It's not easy to hold on for half a stick of incense with a foot versus a horse. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Yun did not blame them. He was born in Youzhou and was a general under Baima Yicong. Although his official position was not high, he knew that it was extremely difficult to fight like this.

"But we have gained quite a lot!" Gao Xiang couldn't help but smile brightly when he thought of the captures he had just counted. "The general killed that Hu Che'er before, and we captured two hundred war horses." Remain.

Although there have been some losses now, more have been captured!

The general personally killed the enemy general Zhang Xiu. His crotch was from Xiliang species, and it is said that it was the same as the white pigeon.

Not only that, in this battle, Xiliang's cavalry killed and injured no less than a thousand people, and more than two thousand people fled. The rest were all surrendered by us, and nearly two thousand intact horses were captured."

Finally, Gao Xiang said with some regret.

"It's just a pity that this flood has injured other war horses, and I'm afraid they won't be able to continue fighting on the battlefield in the future.

In addition, these war horses seem to be quite old, and they should not be used for a few years, but they are better than nothing.

Moreover, these war horses have been fanned and cannot be used as stallions. If they are used in the future, they can also replace cattle. "

"Oh, I see."

This seizure is definitely not small. After all, this is Jingzhou, not the Central Plains and North where Liu Bei was.

War horses in Youzhou are not worthless things. In the south like Jingzhou, they are even rarer. If Cao Mengde had not defeated Yuan Shao and completely invaded the northern land.

He really didn't dare to say that he would send this cavalry here to deal with Liu Bei, and he was directly dealt with by Zhao Yun, a "little-known" young general.

There are nearly two thousand war horses, plus what they have now, they can almost make up a real cavalry force of 800 people.

But it was obvious that Zhao Yun was not very interested in this matter. He just looked at the cleaned battlefield and walked to the gathered corpses.

These corpses will be burned together later, otherwise the people of Nanyang County may not have a good life after winter.

Looking at the enemy corpses that were still considered majestic, Zhao Yun was speechless for a long time, and finally just took a deep breath.

"It's a pity for you!"

Perhaps at this moment, Zhao Yun and the others found the shadow of themselves that once belonged to them.

He still remembered that he left his hometown with full confidence and embarked on the journey north with hundreds of young and strong rural warriors who were willing to follow him.

"General." At this time, Gao Xiang also came to Zhao Yun with a worried look on his face. He now admired this general from the bottom of his heart, "General Mi Wei has not come back yet. Our soldiers have experienced successive battles. You also need to rest."

"Well, let them rest first and send people to look for Mi Wei. Don't let him find his way out."

"No." After Gao Xiang bowed and accepted the order, he handed over the matter to his personal guards, while he followed Zhao Yun and continued to look at him with worried eyes.

"Gao Xiang."

"General, the end is here!"

"Tell me, why did this person change?"

Gao Xiang was stunned when he heard this sentence. He wanted to say something, but found that he seemed to be unable to say anything. He could only put on a bitter and helpless look on his face.

"The end will not know."

"You don't know, and I don't know either." Zhao Yun suddenly smiled, his smile full of bitterness, "Seeing these Xiliang warriors who were once brave and good at fighting suddenly become like this, I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. . Maybe I feel the same way. Looking at them, I think of certain people."

"Is this Gongsun Charming from back then?" Gao Xiang hesitated for a long time before he had the courage to say this name. He knew that this name was a taboo here.

It is a taboo that the Lord does not want to mention, and it is also a taboo that General Zhao does not want to mention.

"It seems that you know a lot of things."

"The general has no intention of prying into anything, but after all Gongsun Baima was a hero who dominated the north back then. Although the general was born in Jingzhou, he is not blind or deaf.

Moreover, the general was also born under the command of Baima Yicong. If not... if... he would be guilty! "

Knowing that he had said something wrong, Gao Xiang quickly bowed down to apologize, knowing that he had talked too much again.

"What are you worried about? It's no secret that I betrayed my lord for seven years.

Don't many people under the lord's command secretly reprimand me for this?

It’s not like I haven’t heard these words before. "

"That's because they don't understand the general!"

"Oh?" Zhao Yun looked at Gao Xiang and suddenly smiled, "Is it possible that you understand?"

"The general. The general knows that the general is not the kind of person who would betray his lord. The general was not involved in the matter back then. However, the general knows that the general went to Yecheng to help the lord in person when he was in the most critical moment.

If the general was also greedy for wealth, he would definitely not be like this back then
The general does not understand the general, nor does he know what is going on between the general and the lord.

But the general knows that there will definitely not be any discord between the lord and the general, it is true love! "

"." Zhao Yun looked at the little guy in front of him. He was young, full of vigor, and unafraid no matter what he faced.

Just like myself back then.

"Hahahahahaha, that's all. It's useless to say this. It's over, it's over."

"If the general hadn't killed that man back then, maybe everything would have been different."

After Zhao Yun muttered to himself for a while, he adjusted his mood again and gave orders to the army.

"Is everything repaired? Let's move on!"

 Chapter 4 here.

  Let’s talk about Zhao Yun first. This is something I haven’t finished talking about before.

  Many people say that Zhao Yun is not trusted.

  The biggest reasons are two.

  Zhao Yun left Liu Bei in the third year of Chuping and stayed away for seven years.

  Zhao Yun did not receive any rewards after Liu Bei became emperor, nor was he a general with a heavy title.

  Let me briefly explain these two things.

  The latter is easy to understand. First, Liu Bei's love for Zhao Yun is very strange. It's not just a heavy number and a miscellaneous number. This guy loves Zhao Yun so much that he has to give him a special general name.

  General Yamen and General Yijun were all specially set up. The last person to do this was General Huo Qubing.

  So when Liu Bei didn't join the world together, you couldn't say whether this thing was important or not.

  After all, if he unified the world, then General Yijun would probably no longer be just a general.

  Secondly, Zhao Yun did not participate in persuading Jin Biao and did not agree to conquer Wu. He did not suppress the rebellion in those two years. Even if Liu Bei wanted to reward him, he had to give him some reason.

  For example, Huang Zhong killed Xia Houyuan, the general who conquered the west, and he was the general who conquered the west.

  Or Wei Yan will be stationed in Hanzhong, so he will be promoted to the general of the army.

  But Zhao Yun had no chance, but Liu Bei gave him the rear command of Jiangzhou. This is enough to show that despite his opposition, it is still his most trusted retreat, and you can see that he likes it.

  As for the seven years I left, I really have no evidence, but you can take a look at what happened in those years.

  There is an interesting record in "Yunbie Zhuan", that is, when Zhao Yun left, Liu Bei knew that he would never come back.

  Why is this?
  They were all under Gongsun Zan at the beginning. Who died that year?
