Since the Yellow Turbans rebelled this year.
Because the imperial army was limited and could not quickly annihilate the Yellow Turban bandits all over the world, the imperial court began to delegate power to the local governments, allowing far-sighted people from aristocratic families in all states, counties, and counties to recruit rebels to join forces to protect themselves.
These rebels were recognized by local officials and the court.
As long as they can destroy the Yellow Turban Army, anyone can ask the imperial court for credit.
To be honest, this kind of policy of the imperial court was the main reason for the heroic pattern and constant disputes in the late Han Dynasty.
But such a policy is a good thing for those who really have the ability.
For example, the Changshan Zhao Zilong in front of him.
Because in this era, as long as you have the ability and want to make a difference, you can basically get the support of local powerful people and quickly stand out.
Of course, there is a threshold for standing out, that is, your family background is at least a local powerhouse.
Don't even think about ordinary mud legs.
Zhao Yun is such a person. His family is a powerful local power in Changshan County. Because the Chang Huangjin Army rebelled, he was forced to stand up and recruit rebels to protect the peace.
And because of his outstanding abilities, more and more wealthy families in Changshan County are willing to support him. In more than half a year, he has recruited more than 500 village warriors.
Although this kind of rebel army is not large in scale and cannot really wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits entrenched in Changshan County, it is more than enough to protect itself.
It was a coincidence today. Zhao Yun was originally planning to lead a few hundred men under his command to attack a group of Yellow Turban bandits entrenched nearby at night. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Zhu Biao before he reached the place.
Hearing Zhao Yun's words at this moment, Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel moved. He was equally angry and said loudly: "I'm Julu Zhu Biao, brother Zhao, don't be nervous. We are just passing through a treasure land and want to go south to join Huangpu General Songhuang." of."
Not long after Zhu Biao finished speaking, a white horse galloped from a distance.
This is a young general wearing silver armor. He went to Zhu Biao's formation and looked carefully at Zhu Biao's military formation. He found that it was not the Yellow Turban Army. He breathed a sigh of relief at first. After seeing the strict military formation of Zhu Biao's army, he couldn't help but feel in his eyes. A flash of surprise flashed through his face, and he said loudly: "Who is Brother Zhu? Please come out and see me!"
Seeing Zhu Biao trying to move his horse out of the military formation, Mu Ying and Lan Yu beside them couldn't help but feel tense at the same time.
"Your Highness, let us go meet him!"
"Zhao Zilong is not easy to deal with." Mu Ying said quickly.
After all, the shadow of a famous tree is a famous person in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Afterwards, he was in a deserted land on Changban Slope and entered and exited Cao's army seven times to rescue the young master Liu Chan. Neither Mu Ying nor Lan Yu were the Shu Han generals. Don't dare to underestimate it.
What's more, it's the mythical version of the Three Kingdoms now!
Their strength is comparable to that of second- and third-rate famous generals from the Three Kingdoms such as Ma Yuanyi and Zhang Liang. Now that they encounter such first-rate generals, they naturally have to be more cautious.
"It doesn't matter!"
"They say Zhao Zilong is full of courage. People dare to come to our military formation alone. If I don't even dare to show up, I will be looked down upon."
"Just let me plunder the formation." Zhu Biao gave Mu Ying and others a reassuring look, clamped his legs under the horse's belly, and headed out of the formation.
"General Zilong, I've heard of you for a long time!" Zhu Biao walked out of the military formation and bowed to Zhao Yun first.
Zhao Yun was a little puzzled. Although he had been struggling in Changshan County for more than half a year, he had only made some achievements with hundreds of his men in the past two months. He could only barely defend a few villages in his hometown from being plundered. What a famous name!
However, being complimented, as a fledgling and high-spirited young general, Zhao Yun was still very useful.
"Brother Zhu, you're welcome!"
"If we talk about great names, what Brother Zhu did in Julu County can truly make him a hero of the world!"
"I heard that the Yellow Turban bandits in Julu County have been wiped out by Brother Zhu?" Zhao Yun said with admiration.
During this period of time, news about the sudden rise of a hero named Zhu Biao in Julu County and the rapid annihilation of the entire Yellow Turban bandits in Julu County in seven battles and seven victories has also been spread to Changshan.
Zhao Yun had also heard the rumors.
But he didn't expect that he would meet this hero from Jizhou so soon.
"That's right!"
"This is also the reason why we have to go south to join the cavalry general. Nowadays, civil unrest is everywhere and the world is in chaos. It is time for our generation to take advantage of the situation. I don't think Brother Zilong is the kind of person who is willing to be ordinary. Why don't you come with us? How about joining the cavalry general?" Zhu Biao said with a smile on his face.
After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart. He wanted to conquer the world, be granted the title of marquis and worship the prime minister, so Zhao Yun didn't want to.
But now he can't help himself!
"Brother Zhu's kindness is appreciated."
Zhao Yun once again cupped his hands towards Zhu Biao, and said with a trace of bitterness on his face: "My old parents are still at home, and there are still Yellow Turban rebels in Changshan. If Yun leaves rashly, I'm afraid something will happen to the family!"
In the original history, it was only a few years later that Zhao Yun defected to Gongsun Zan with his followers from his hometown, presumably for the same reason.
But now the emergence of Zhu Biao is going to completely change the course of history.
"So that's what I was worried about!"
Zhu Biao laughed and said: "What's the difficulty in this matter? Why don't you and I join forces now? I will help you wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits in Changshan County first and relieve you of your worries. Then you can go south with me." How about joining the army?"
Seeing a hint of hesitation on Zhao Yun's face, Zhu Biao persuaded again: "Zilong, to be honest, I just felt like you were the same as before when I saw you, and I can see that Zilong is not a thing in the pool. , I am helping you solve your worries now so that Zilong can join me in conquering the world in the future."
"We are fellow villagers in Jizhou. Isn't it wonderful to help each other and achieve each other's achievements!"
"Brother Zhu is willing to help, Yun is grateful!" Zhao Yun was deeply moved by Zhu Biao's words. After all, he is not the world-famous Zhao Zilong yet, he is just a little-known local military leader.
To be honest, Zhao Yun was really flattered by Zhu Biao's praise.
Behind the military formation, seeing Zhu Biao start calling Zhao Yun brothers after a few words, Mu Ying and Lan Yu looked at each other and couldn't help but grin.
"Our Crown Prince has indeed received His Majesty's true inheritance!"
"This method of winning people's hearts is necessary." Lan Yu sighed with emotion in a low voice.
Mu Ying nodded when she heard this, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
Zhao Yun was a famous general at the time. If Zhu Biao could really conquer Zhao Yun, it would mean that he would have his own team.
As the Ming Dynasty continues to expand its territory, it needs more and more generals.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can have a real team, the Crown Prince's position will be more stable, and the Ming Dynasty will become stronger.
This is what Muying hopes to see.
Soon the two sides called together several of their main generals to introduce each other.
Hearing that Zhao Yun was going to attack the camp tonight, Zhu Biao couldn't help but said happily: "In that case, how about we take action tonight without further ado?"
"Let Zilong take a good look at the strength of my soldiers and horses."
"I just met Brother Zhu, why bother to bother him to take action?"
Zhao Yun flashed a sharp smile in his eyes and said: "This group of thieves has a small number of soldiers, less than three hundred. They say they are the Yellow Turban Army, but they are actually just bandits under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army. They have been burning fire in nearby towns in the past few months. They kill, loot, and commit all kinds of crimes, so Yun is sure of winning them this time."
"Brother, let's set up camp here with peace of mind. How about I wait until I take care of that group of thieves and then come back to entertain me as a landlord?"
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and then smiled and said: "Since you are sure, I won't say anything more, but how about I take a few people with you to gain some knowledge?"
"Okay!" Zhao Yun nodded and agreed without any hesitation.
After Zhu Biao tried his best to win over him and saw the more than 3,000 soldiers under Zhu Biao's command, who were well-organized and full of evil spirits, he already had the idea of surrendering. However, after all, he was a proud person at heart, and even if he surrendered, he still wanted to surrender. Zhu Biao first demonstrated his methods in front of Zhu Biao, so that Zhu Biao could see the meaning of his abilities.
Soon Zhu Biao selected five or six cavalry to accompany him. A group of eight or nine people, including Mu Ying and Zhang Jiao, followed the more than 500 people led by Zhao Yun and ran along a mountain road.
But until this time, Zhao Yun finally discovered that the horses Zhu Biao and others were sitting on looked extraordinary.
You must know that the Yezhao Jade Lion he sat on is a famous horse in Dawan, and it is a rare beast that has been tempered twice by the power of the stars.
But when the Yezhao Jade Lion faced the horse that Zhu Biao and others were sitting on, he would intentionally or unintentionally give way and stay away from the three points.
If he only gave in to Zhu Biao's good horse, Zhao Yun would not feel anything. After all, the world is so big, and although there are not many strange beasts that have been tempered by the power of the stars, if you search carefully, you can always find them.
But what makes Zhao Yun feel ridiculous is that the Yezhao Jade Lion is actually afraid of Zhu Biao and others sitting on all the horses, which shocks Zhao Yun a little.
Could it be that his eldest brother and his mounts are all strange beasts?
Where did he get so many fine horses?
Although Zhao Yun was frightened, he understood the principle of keeping a close relationship but talking deeply. Although he and Zhu Biao hit it off, they had just met after all, so it was better not to get to the bottom of some things.
At least for the time being, you can't ask everything.
There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zhao Yun began to concentrate on his journey, and soon the destination was in sight.
This is a village located on the mountainside.
Night had fallen at this moment. Zhao Yun saw the village and a yellow flag erected on the village from a distance, and his expression gradually turned cold.
Zhu Biao is also observing the village at this moment.
"What a strong blood-evil aura!"
Zhang Jue next to him had a thought in his mind, and a vertical pupil that could not be noticed by others appeared in the sky. This was one of the essential techniques of peace that he had cultivated by using his two talents of the Kingdom of God and the extra-dimensional state.
This vertical pupil cannot see people or objects, but it can see evil aura, murderous aura, and other obscure auras.
Under his vertical pupils, the village opposite was filled with endless blood evil energy and a huge number of innocent souls.
Those innocent souls seemed to be villagers in the village.
This made Zhang Jiao look very unhappy.
You must know that he led the Yellow Turban Army to revolt so that the peasants would not starve to death and have a way to survive. But now, these people actually carried out massacres and looting under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army.
The name of the Yellow Turban Army was ruined by this group of crazy people.
This made Zhang Jiao furious.
In fact, he has seen a lot of such things in Julu County, but Julu is his hometown after all. There is always a limit to the burning, killing and looting by the Yellow Turban Army there, and they mainly target large households, unlike here. , directly massacre the village.
Zhao Yun glanced at Zhang Jiao in surprise, but did not say much, but explained: "What is entrenched here is a group of bandits. They took advantage of the Yellow Turban Army's rebellion before and also took advantage of the Yellow Turban Army's banner. In Changshan County They massacred three villages and towns in a row, I have been tracking them for more than two months, and now I finally found them."
"Brother, just stay here to help me supervise the battle."
"I will take care of these people myself!" After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he shook his spear and whispered: "My sons, follow me to fight."
More than five hundred Chang Shanyi followed Zhao Yun silently towards the village.
Seeing the figure of Zhao Yun leading more than 500 people under his command towards Na Village, Zhu Biao inexplicably felt that there was a unique charm in all of them, as if these people, including Zhao Yun, suddenly became It became hazy.
This made Zhu Biao narrow his eyes slightly.
How could he not see that this must be Zhao Yun's innate magical power?
But as for what kind of talent it is, he still can't understand it.
"Mr. Zhang, maybe you can see something?" Zhu Biao asked Zhang Jiao next to him.
"It's not out yet, but it should be a rare legion-level talent!" Zhang Jiao grinned, with a trace of envy flashing in his eyes.
There are many types of innate magical powers.
People like Ma Yuanyi and others possess the most common talents that can only be used on themselves.
Although this kind of talent can improve one's own combat power, in Zhang Jiao's opinion, it is the most rubbish kind, but this kind of talent also accounts for the majority of talented people.
Anyway, as far as he knew, all the talented people in the Yellow Turban Army except him were of this type.
In addition, there are two talents.
A kind of angle is called the celestial level, which can change the natural environment on a large scale with the help of a certain time and place.
Just like the wind, fire and celestial phenomenon that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun jointly performed, it was a talent at the celestial level.
With that kind of innate magical power, even hundreds of thousands of people will be wiped out in an instant, and they are no match at all.
There is also a talent called legion level. If the celestial level talent affects the natural environment, then the legion level talent affects people.
Once this kind of legion-level talent is used, it can cover an entire army, allowing everyone to enjoy this talent state. The more troops such a talented person commands, the more terrifying they will be, and the stronger their strength will be.
As far as he knew, Dong Zhuo, the commander of the Xiliang Army, possessed a powerful defensive legion-level talent. It was precisely because of this talent that the Xiliang cavalry under his command were invincible.
This kind of legion-level talent is very rare. Zhang Jiao has not seen many people with such talent in more than ten years of teaching.
He really didn't expect that he would meet such a guy just after following Zhu Biao out of Julu County.
I have to say that people with the aura of an emperor still have something to say.
