Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 117 Zhao Yun expresses his position

Quietly, he looked at Zhao Yun quietly, his mood was very subtle.

However, the surrounding guards were not hostile to Zhao Yun's "changing camps overnight", and Zhao Yun seemed not to notice. He just got off his horse, came to him, clasped his fists and said:
"Your Highness?"

Waving his hand, Liu Bian sighed and said, "I understand! Please allow me to take care of it."

After that, Liu Bian, under the care of two young... young generals, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan, washed his face with water and put on a new and clean clothes, which made Liu Bian's expression... Slightly dazed.

On the side, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi gritted their teeth in unison and glared at each other secretly, as if they didn't ask directly: What's going on?Didn’t you make an agreement last night to keep an eye on Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan and never allow Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan to get close to His Highness? ...how do you do things? !

Not far away, Cao Ang, who was wrapping his wound with gauze, was not squinting and muttering silently: I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything...

Seeing Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan on the left and right, they were taking care of Liu Bian very smoothly and naturally, such as making his clothes straighter instead of wrinkled; and getting the corresponding jade pendant. , hung around the waist, even more like a gentleman... Seriously, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan really treated themselves as servants. This made Liu Bian sigh inexplicably and thought to himself:
Why?Why aren't you women?
If you can’t give it away as a daughter, you might as well give it away as a maid!Anyway, it's still pleasing to the eye, but now, it's replaced by a group of boys... and teenagers dressed as teenagers. Liu Bian is under a lot of psychological pressure, and he really can't stand it!

I always felt like he was wasting his resources...cough!It's a waste of talent, and his conscience will hurt!

With a straight face, he thought: From now on, he will personally train talents and confidants, starting with Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan... No, no, no!

He shook his head again, and quickly remembered that Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan were Gongsun Zan's brothers, and his new confidant Cao Ang, whom he was slightly satisfied with, was Cao Cao's eldest son, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were also Yuan Shao's sons They...this, this, this!If you look carefully and think about it carefully, it seems that he has adopted the son of a noble family, a powerful man, or an eunuch?

Doesn't this conflict with his original plan to attack, suppress, and weaken aristocratic families, powerful men, or eunuchs? ——In the future, what should we do if aristocratic families and powerful men give away their sons or younger members of the clan?
Do you want to accept it as well?

But will this give the world the illusion that as long as you send your son or a member of your clan, you will be safe?
Frowning, Liu Bian decisively judged that this move was not sustainable, and decided: in the future, unless there are special circumstances, he will never accept any more children sent intentionally by wealthy families... His place is not an orphanage. What are a group of half-grown children doing?As a younger brother?Serving as a confidant reserve?

He needs it, but it's not necessary... He appreciates talents who can serve him immediately, such as Tian Feng, Ju Shou and Zhang Yan who have defected to him.

Of course, this also includes Zhao Yun, who has changed camps——

With so many thoughts on his mind, Liu Bian's wild thoughts calmed down again when he thought of Zhao Yun.After coming back to his senses, Liu Bian finished washing up and found that Zhao Yun still hadn't left, so he couldn't help but say:
"Zhao... General Zhao Zilong?"

After Zhao Yun heard this, he quickly raised his hands and said: "Your Highness, I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be! Zilong is only a captain."

With crooked eyes, Liu Bian said: "So, Colonel Zilong?"

Zhao Yun's ears turned slightly red and he congratulated: "Zilong is here!"

"Aren't you going to go back and recover?" Liu Bian asked.

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment and then said: "My lord ordered me to escort His Highness for a while."

Liu Bian said: "Have you forgotten? This king is also going back to Ji County?"

Huh?
Zhao Yun blinked. Although he was puzzled, he did not ask any more questions and said: "No matter what, Zilong wants to escort His Highness, please allow His Highness."

Liu Bian was moved and sad, and remembered that Zhao Yun worshiped Gongsun Zan as his lord again... Wow!So disappointed!So sad!Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun, why do you want to worship Gongsun Zan as your lord!Grinding his teeth eagerly, Liu argued:

"Okay, let's set off?"

After saying this, Liu Bian waved his hand and ordered the guards present to escort him to meet Gongsun Zan.

But I heard Zhao Yun say coldly: "Your Highness——"

"What's the matter?" Liu Bian stopped.

Zhao Yun lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, Zilong has something to say."

Liu Bian looked at Zhao Yun calmly, but Zhao Yun kept his head down and did not meet his gaze.

Thoughtfully, Liu Bian said: "Okay, let's go over there and talk." Pointing his hand, Liu Bian pointed to an open space.

No one was there, just right for a conversation.

Therefore, Liu Bian asked the guards to stand by while he and Zhao Yun walked to the open space one after the other.

"That's it?" Liu Bian asked straight to the point, "What do you want to say to me?"

Liu Bian looked at Zhao Yun and suddenly felt that this was his first private meeting with Zhao Yun?
Zhao Yun clasped his fists, thought for a while, and said, "Your Highness, did Zilong's choice disappoint you?"

Liu Bian: "..."

Liu Bian immediately understood what Zhao Yun meant and yelled in his heart: You know you are disappointed, how dare you disappoint me?

You are so brave!
However, even though he was so angry that he wanted to tear Gongsun Zan apart, he still smiled, maintained his image, and wrote lightly: "What is the explanation for this?"

Zhao Yun glanced at Liu Bian and said cautiously: "Your Highness, I know that Your Highness values ​​me very much. I hope that I can serve you, Your Highness. It is best to worship Your Highness as your lord."

Liu Bian said: "Colonel Zilong, you...are thinking too much. I have no such thoughts."

Zhao Yun said: "No? But I think His Highness appreciates me very much? Moreover, from the moment I wanted to defect to the lord, Your Highness's face did not look good. Although it returned to normal after a short time, your face The smile is much less, which makes me worried that Your Highness is angry."

Liu Bian... Liu Bian remained silent.

Liu Bian thought: Is it really that obvious?I obviously always pay attention to keeping a distance from you, but I haven't told you directly?

But I heard Zhao Yun say: "Last night, I accidentally heard the conversation between your highness and the lord... After that, I thought about it for a long time and understood some things.

Your Highness' current situation seems to be safe, but in fact, it is in many dangers. Although he is His Majesty's eldest son, he is not taken seriously by Your Majesty. Your Majesty prefers the second son and wants to make the second son the prince. This means that someone will hurt His Highness - of course, if no one It would be better to frame His Highness, if anything... His Highness urgently needs to establish and manage his power and become stronger quickly, so that he can save his life.

Is it because of this that His Highness is eager for talents?

And I happen to be a talent?

Although I don’t know how His Highness decided that I am a talented person, I thought that since I sent you a letter for Your Highness and was invited by General Luoyang, I think I have some combat talents, which is probably what Your Highness needs. ?
However, I failed to live up to your expectations, Your Highness, and worshiped General Gongsun Zan as my lord without authorization... Your Highness, although I have disappointed you, I have no regrets!
I know what I want.

Moreover, I came from Your Highness. Logically speaking, I am Your Highness's military commander, and I carry Your Highness's will with me. Although I did not call Your Highness "Lord"...

Your Highness, Zilong just wants to lead troops to guard the border and protect the border from being invaded by the Yi people... Zilong is not good at strategy and does not want to get involved in temple disputes. After all, if Zilong really wants to participate, he will not be able to defeat those experienced and cunning officials. Ministers, why not guard the border for Your Highness and be your strongest defense shield?

Your Highness also values ​​my lord very much?
As long as I can stay in Youzhou, I will have the confidence to establish myself in Youzhou, and I can guarantee that the Lord's heart will be with His Highness and will not be your enemy!
In fact, both the lord and Zilong admire His Highness!His Highness has mediocre academic skills and mediocre qualifications, but he is very courageous and independent!It is only said that this time to relieve the crisis in Guanzicheng, His Highness does not have to travel long distances or endure hardships. Anyway, the unlucky one will only be the Lord, but His Highness is here...

On the other hand, our court was unable to send reinforcements and could only sit back and watch as Guanzi City in western Liaoning was besieged for nearly half a year!
Compared with Your Highness, we all hope that it is Your Highness who will ascend the throne in the future——

We will only regard you, Your Highness, as our next lord!
Your Highness, do you understand? "

Liu Bian: "..."

Suddenly, as if a spring breeze came overnight, thousands of pear trees bloomed. Liu Bian was immediately elated. His previous disappointment was wiped away, his mouth was no longer sour, and he was so happy that he flew into the air:

understood! !
I really didn’t expect that, Zhao Yun, you would rate me very well?
You have expressed your feelings like this, do I dare to alienate you?

Grinning, Liu argued: "You don't have to say it, I understand everything."

— Do you really understand?
