Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 254 Zhao Yun surrenders
  Yes, Zhang Wu is Cao Cao's son-in-law. Since he dares to vouch for it, he must be fine.

Gongsun Zan wanted to understand the reason, raised his hands and bowed bitterly, neither agreeing immediately nor refusing with words.

From leader to general, no matter who you change, it will take a process of adaptation.

After this role change, when he meets Cao Mengde, his former ally against Dong, in the future, he will have to bow down to greet Cao Mengde, a majestic white horse general. Not everyone can withstand such a psychological gap.

I have to say that as a prince, Gongsun Zan actually failed.

He did not pay attention to people's livelihood, but built military affairs extensively and fought for years. Either on the way to conquer the foreign tribes, or on the way to fight with Yuan Shao.

War makes people's livelihood more difficult.

In a war, the strength of the troops is one thing. Regardless of this point, it is all about getting money and food.

Of course, there are always exceptions, such as Zhang Wu, who also studied military affairs extensively.

But Zhang Wu was different from Gongsun Zan.

When Zhang Wu conquered foreign tribes, he often wore simple and simple clothes, carried three days' rations, and committed banditry. Not only did he not add half of the burden to the annexed state, he could also often feed the state and county.

On the other hand, in Youzhou, even though Liu Yu and his son had been kidnapped by Zhang Wuqiang and returned to Xuchang, the people still did not have a high sense of belonging to Gongsun Zan.

A very important reason is the burden brought by consecutive battles.

Let’s fight! Naturally, there cannot be a shortage of food. Gongsun Zan naturally does not have the strategic vision of Zhang Wu who dared to go deep into the grassland to rob foreigners with only a few days of rations.

Whenever there is a war, food is collected from various prefectures and counties.

The people of Youzhou were not beaten to death by the foreigners, but instead often had no food to eat because of Gongsun Zan's heavy gifts, so naturally they would not remember his good deeds.

To the people of Youzhou, Yuan Shao deserved to die for releasing an epidemic that brought disaster to the three counties.

But Gongsun Zan really didn't fare much better. The number of people in Youzhou who died of starvation due to grain requisition was not necessarily less than those who died of illness.

As a master, I don't have any frivolous heart. The imperial kindness is grand enough, but the majesty is not enough.

Before Liu Yu left, it was common for civil and military officials under his command to communicate with each other from time to time.

I have to praise him for his broad-mindedness.

Because of the behavior of my subordinates, if they were elsewhere, they could be considered guilty of collaborating with the enemy. However, it is miraculous that they can live in peace in Youzhou.

Focus on personal feelings and be emotional.

The most ridiculous thing is that when the war was raging in You and Jizhou, Liu Bei could openly borrow troops and generals from Youbeiping.

Looking at Gongsun Zan's life, he was definitely not a British master, and his defeat was only a matter of time.

Even if he is lucky enough to defeat Yuan Shao today, he will only be defeated when he faces the more powerful Cao Cao in the future.

Because everything he does is destroying his own foundation.

But if you are a general.

Even Zhang Wu had to sigh, he was worthy of being called the White Horse General.

He is a generous and generous man.

He fought against the aliens for many years in one state, and fought bloody battles for more than ten years. His subordinate Baima Yicong became a powerful and powerful soldier who was famous all over the world.

Manage the army well, treat your soldiers like brothers, and do not hesitate to reward them.

All those who are brave and good at fighting under his command have a way to advance.

If you can use troops, you will use them.

It doesn’t count as victorious in every battle, but more victories than fewer defeats.

The reason why we have reached this point is not a crime of war.

Zhang Wu will return to Xuchang sooner or later. After the foreign tribes in the north settle down, Bingzhou will lose its strategic value. As Cao Cao's most trusted confidant, Zhang Wu's next move was either to march westward to Guanzhong, or to move his troops closer to the counties in northern Jing.

The cronies of the former Bingzhou family will also be taken away.

But it is still a state after all, and there should always be someone with sufficient prestige and qualifications to take charge.

Gongsun Zan is undoubtedly the best candidate, but whether he should hand over this important task to Gongsun Zan or not, Zhang Wu still has to investigate for a while.

Bingzhou cost him a lot of effort, and no one is qualified to take his place.

"Okay, grandson, just take a good rest. There is no need to give me an answer now. I still have a lot of trivial matters at hand, so I won't waste my time here with you."

Gongsun Zan nodded, backed away from Zhao Yun, and motioned for him to follow.

Whether he wanted to go to Bingzhou or not was still a matter of debate, but Gongsun Zan sincerely hoped that his loyal general would find a good home.

Zhao Yun saw that Gongsun Zan was in good health, so he followed him.

"Is Zilong feeling unwell?"

"No, it's just that the legs and feet are a little loose, just rest for a while, it won't be in the way."

Lu Bu patted Zhao Yun's shoulder affectionately: "Zilong, I can hardly recognize you when you look like this. The dignified General Youzhou has made you so embarrassed."

Zhao Yun gratefully bowed his hands to Lu Bu without saying a word.

Walking to the open space in the middle of the courtyard, he lifted up his dirty white cloak behind him, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists at Zhang Wu and said:
  "The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty will not give up. I am rescued by the champion. I am very grateful. I want to surrender, so I invite you."

Zhang Wu was still organizing his words before, trying to persuade Zhao Yun to surrender to Cao in a tactful and polite way.

In the bedroom earlier, although Zhang Wu revealed his intention to solicit, he did not get a reply from Zhao Yun himself.

This is it at the moment.

His heart suddenly blossomed with joy. The opening at the corners of his mouth became wider and wider.

This is Zhao Yun, one of Zhang Wu's favorite generals in his previous life.

Seven in and seven out on the long board slope, riding the savior alone, that is the indelible yearning of many passionate men.

Zhang Wu laughed and stepped forward, helping Zhao Yun up: "I don't dare to ask for anything I want. Zilong is a true hero. I'm afraid that my words will be pale and I won't be able to keep you!"

Zhao Yun's stern face showed one of the few smiles.

"In the future, I have to ask the champion Hou Duoduo to take care of it."

Say it.

He rolled his eyes and fell straight backwards.

He was so tired that he hadn't slept a wink for three days. Now that Gongsun Zan had been rescued, he was depressed and could no longer bear the tide of exhaustion.

Lu Bu, with quick eyes and quick hands, supported Zhao Yun to prevent him from falling to the ground, and sighed with emotion: "Zi Long, you are a true hero."

"Do you think Fengxian has a more skilled opponent?"

Lu Bu was stunned, thinking of the duel between the two in Yingqiu. It was true that when you meet your opponent, you will meet a good talent.

Then he laughed loudly: "Yes, Changshan Zhao Zilong is so brave and worthy of my opponent! After he has a good rest, I don't know how close I will be to him."

"Okay, stop bragging and you won't die. If you just want to find an opponent, I'll be happy to accompany you at any time."

"Hmph! Just leave it alone. You are my son-in-law and a descendant. I am too lazy to fight with you."
