Liu Bei hurried to Xuzhou with all his family assets.
It was 4 days after he left Pingyuan County.
A handsome young man in white robes rode a white horse to the outside of Pingyuan City.
He immediately mounted a gun under the city.
The young man in white robe shouted loudly towards the top of the city:
"Changshan Zhao Zilong has come to join Pingyuan Order! Please open the door quickly."
That's right.
This young man with a white horse and a silver spear is Changshan Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.
In his early years, he served under Gongsun Zan.
He had considerable military exploits in the battles against Wuhuan, Xianbei and other foreigners.
Later, after Yuan Shao robbed Han Fu of Jizhou, his ambitions expanded.
Bravely launched troops against Gongsun Zan.
General Qu Yi was sent as the vanguard, and two elite soldiers, the Euphorbia Soldiers and the Xiandenying Camp, were sacrificed in the Battle of Jieqiao.
Gongsun Zan defeated 30,000 soldiers and horses.
After killing Gongsun Zan, his troops abandoned their helmets and armor, and the entire army was almost wiped out.
At the critical moment, young Zhao Yun fought out single-handedly.
With his own strength, he severely defeated the spirit of the Euphorbia warriors and the first camp.
Then they broke through Yuan's army's battle formation and charged back and forth as if they were in a deserted area.
A silver gentian spear killed Qu Yi in front of the battle.
From then on he became famous.
At that time, Liu Bei couldn't find a way to get ahead.
As a last resort, he also stayed under Gongsun Zan for a while.
When the princes of the Eighteen Towns attacked Dong Zhuo, it was Gongsun Zan who took Liu Bei there.
In private, Liu Bei and Zhao Yun got along very well.
He has expressed his intention to recruit many times, both openly and secretly.
Zhao Yun was a loyal man. Since he had already voted for Gongsun Zan, it was naturally impossible for him to switch to anyone else.
So he declined Liu Bei's invitation.
Not long after, Zhao Yun's biological brother fell ill and passed away.
Zhao Yun resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown Changshan to observe mourning for his brother for one year.
Just in the meantime.
Liu Bei showed his face a little bit during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the crusade against Dong Zhuo.
With the bravery of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they achieved many military exploits.
Therefore, he was named the magistrate of Pingyuan County and went to Pingyuan County to take up his post.
He left Gongsun Zan's tent and missed Zhao Yun perfectly.
When Zhao Yun's filial piety period is over, he is ready to come out again.
He found that Gongsun Zan was not a person who could achieve great things.
So instead of returning to Gongsun Zan, he came directly to Pingyuan County.
I want to talk to Liu Bei about old things.
But after he shouted for a long time under Pingyuan City, a man slowly appeared on the wall.
He shouted to Zhao Yun:
"When Magistrate Liu heard that Cao Cao was launching a large-scale attack on Xuzhou, he has already led his troops to Xuzhou. If you want to find him, go to Xuzhou and look for him yourself."
Zhao Yun did not expect that Liu Bei would go to Xuzhou, leaving him in vain.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of Xuzhou.
Zhao Yun murmured to himself:
"Xuzhou? Now that we are here, why not fight?!"
The news that Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou to avenge his father had already spread.
Zhao Yun heard a lot about it on the way here.
He naturally knew Liu Bei's intention of going to Xuzhou.
The war is about to begin, and it's time for the seven-foot man to make a contribution!
"drive!"
Zhao Yun slapped the Zhaoye White Dragon Horse under his seat and galloped away in the direction of Xuzhou.
He didn't know at this moment that the gears of fate were quietly turning at this moment.
Pushed him onto another path in life.
Under the same sky.
North of Xuzhou.
"Brother, we have had a little friction with Xiahou Dun these days. Although we have stopped his overwhelming momentum, Cao Cao's army is about to arrive."
Zhou Yu stood beside Sun Ce and reminded him softly.
Sun Ce nodded imperceptibly:
"Yes, our army has limited strength and cannot stop Cao Cao's 50,000-strong army."
Wang Meng looked over and said with a calm smile:
"At this time, it's time for the protagonist Tao Qian to do something. I heard that half of the world's elite soldiers come from Danyang. It seems that Tao Qian also has an elite Danyang army, right?"
From the tone of his words, anyone could hear it.
The mastermind of the Spring and Autumn Annals in troubled times fell in love with the 3,000 elite Danyang soldiers.
within the past period of time.
Sun Ce led the Jiangdong Army and intercepted Xiahou Dun on the border of Langya County.
Xiahou Dun was left to do whatever he wanted in Langya County.
Want to step out of Langya County and continue to advance into the hinterland of Xuzhou?
There is no way!
In view of the heroic performance of Sun Ce and Jiangdong Army.
Tao Qian has long been impressed by them and basically responds to their requests.
In addition, to this day, no other princes have come to help.
All the letters for help sent out were ignored.
Sun Ce is Tao Qian's only support.
Therefore, Tao Qian did not hesitate to agree to let Yuan Shu serve as Xuzhou Bo concurrently.
He also wrote a letter to Yuan Shu specifically about this matter.
So far, Xuzhou has only lost Langya County.
If this war could end here, it would be the most perfect ending.
After all, Cao Cao's biological father died.
In this environment, let alone Sun Ce asking Tao Qian for 3,000 Danyang elite soldiers.
Even if he wanted 10,000 people, Tao Qian would not refuse.
Using 3,000 elite soldiers in exchange for peace and tranquility in Xuzhou, Tao Qian will still settle the bill.
Sun Ce said with a smile:
"This is a good idea. We are not shameless people. We only need 3,000 people."
Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce and Wang Meng with disgust.
He took a step forward, closing the distance between him and them.
Pretend like you don't know them:
"How else can I be called shameless? I want to ask for the most elite Danyang elite soldiers with just one mouth. The lion opens his mouth!"
Sun Ce smiled and asked Zhou Yu:
"Then how much do you think is appropriate?"
Zhou Yu said loudly and indignantly:
"No matter what, we need food rations for another 3,000 troops! We can't help him fight Tao Qian's war, so we can't afford to provide food ourselves, right?"
Damn it!
What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?
Sun Ce and Wang Meng were stunned for a moment.
It turns out... the magnificent Koto Shuro is the most shameless one?
Sun Ce said silently:
Gongjin, you are too bad, take the bamboo shoots!
But...I like it!
Just do as you say!
In Xiapi City.
Tao Qian's face, which had been shrouded in dark clouds for many days, finally showed a little bit of sunshine.
He smiled and praised Sun Ce to Chen Deng:
"Yuanlong, it has to be you! You're so good at reading people! If Bo Fu hadn't been threatening Xiahou Dun on the border of Langya County, Xiahou Dun might have come to Xiapi."
Chen Deng sighed and said:
"Sun Bofu is certainly a general and a young hero. But I still underestimated Yuan Shu's greed. He actually wants to serve as Xuzhou Bo at the same time. I'm afraid this will cause trouble in the future."
Tao Qian waved his hand casually:
"Hey, it's just a false name. No matter how long Yuan Shu's hand is, can he really reach the ground in Xuzhou?"
"If not, how could I easily agree to let him serve as Xuzhou Bo at the same time?"
Even though he said that, Chen Deng still felt a little worried.
Yuan Shu is different from Sun Ce, that old Sepi is greedy.
Chen Deng's concerns were automatically ignored.
Tao Qian smiled cheerfully and said:
"This Sun Bofu is really a rare young hero!"
"Considering that he and I are both from Jiangdong, he came to help without hesitation. It is much better than those so-called 'Four Generations and Three Dukes' families!"
He was boasting enthusiastically.
Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui, walked into the hall with the letter.
His face was extremely gloomy.
"My lord, Sun Bofu is taking advantage of the situation! He opened his mouth and asked for the 3,000 elite Danyang soldiers under my lord's command, as well as the corresponding food and grass!"
