Chapter 586 Zilong persuades to surrender
It is said that Zhao Zilong planned to flood the three armies. The unlucky Yuban surprise attack force, a total of 12,000 organized troops, was well-trained and had high morale. As a result, the flood from the sky rushed all into Chao Lake and fed the whitebait and lake crabs.
Manpower is sometimes poor. Although it is a powerful formation, it cannot fight against nature. Yu Jin, as a famous general of the generation, cannot turn things around. When the flood hit, in the eyes of Yu Jin and Chang Xi, only the other's despair and fear and the bright tidal wave were left.
Yu Jin was thrown to the top of the waves by the soaring water. He actually grabbed a wooden shield and lay on it, floating and sinking, until he passed out. It wasn't until Zhao Zilong and Wang Zijun led their troops to the lake on wooden rafts to seize the fishing boat that Wang Ping was lucky enough to fish it up in the forbidden area.
Yu Jin fell on the deck of the fishing boat, his face was like gold paper, his mouth was vomiting water, his hands and feet were cold, and he was unconscious. Wang Ping felt pity for hurting his kind. He quickly massaged Yu Jin's chest and called, "Wen Ze wakes up!"
After a long massage, Yu Jin finally vomited a few mouthfuls of water and coughed to wake up. Opening his blurry eyes, he gradually saw that it was Wang Ping. As if he was falling into a dream, he said, "Zijun? How did you get here? Where am I?" When he shook his head and looked to the left and right, he saw that he was still there. On the fishing boat in the lake, he couldn't help but look more puzzled and asked: "Zijun, was it you who saved me?"
Wang Ping knew that the news of his surrender to the Qinglong Army had not yet reached Yu Jin's ears, so Yu Jin was confused. It only took one sentence to explain all this. Wang Ping smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Wen Ze, I am not tolerated by Cao Zixiao. I have already taken refuge with General Zhao Zilong last night and this morning."
To Yu Jin, these words were like thunder and lightning, and Yu Jin's still hazy and dim brain was instantly awakened. The scenes before the troops were dispersed by the flood came back to Yu Jin's mind one by one. Yu Jin, who was almost amnesiac, finally recalled the moment when the flood came.
Those images of his former comrades tumbling in the water were terrifying, slicing through the cerebral cortex like a knife. With a painful ejaculation, Yu Jing swung a heavy punch from the deck, sending the unsuspecting Wang Ping flying away. . Wang Ping hit the deck with a thud. Yu Jin pointed his halberd at Wang Ping and said, "It turns out that everything happened because of you, a common man who snitched!"
The Qinglong Army nearby had already swarmed forward, holding Yu Jin's hands and feet tightly, and tied his hands with ropes. Wang Ping was silent and stood up to wipe the blood from his mouth and nose. The blood was like a painting, but it could not ignite Wang Zijun's passion. He just said coldly: "Wen Ze, the person next to me is General Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the coach of the Qinglong Army."
Only then did Yu Jin notice Zhao Zilong flying in the air next to him. When he saw that he was wearing plain robes and silver armor, and that he had a long body and a jade-like appearance, and looked like a master, he couldn't help but let out a "hum". Zhao Yunyun said calmly: "General Wen Ze, the flood and the killing of the three armies are too much. It is really against the harmony of nature and my lord's virtue of living well. I apologize to you here and have asked the entire army to do their best to rescue." After that, After cupping his hands deeply, Yu Jin couldn't help but snort again, tilting his head to one side as if he didn't want to listen, but his ears stood up involuntarily.
Just listen to Zhao Yun continue: "It's a pity that I only have 10,000 troops in my hand. If it weren't for the support of the people in the city, how could I have defended Hefei? Yu Wenze, your surprise attack with the black tiger that takes out the heart is really too cruel. If I If I can't defeat you quickly, I can't protect the southern city of Hefei. If Hefei falls, who will guarantee the lives of my soldiers? Who will guarantee the lives of the people in Hefei? If Hefei falls, Lujiang and Jiangxia will not be safe, and who will guarantee the entire Jiangdong The lives of the people? Wen Ze would not fail to understand this truth."
What Zhao Yun meant was that defeating the three armies quickly was an important battle to save the city of Hefei. Indeed, the city of Hefei was too involved. Zhao Yun was determined to hold on until the last moment. In Zhao Yun's heart, he was already gambling with his own life, and he was also gambling. How could the national destiny of Jiangdong Army and Qinglong Army be left with psychological barriers because of this killing?
In the face of great righteousness, Yu Jin is speechless. The winner is the queen and the loser is the thief. This principle is the same in ancient and modern times. Cao Mengde had many massacres in the city, and it was natural for the people of Hefei not to support him. Whatever the cause was, the result would be the same. If Yu Jin successfully attacked Hefei, it might be Zhao Zilong's turn to be defeated and captured, and the Qinglong Army would also be unable to escape being massacred.
Yu Jin glanced at the corner of Wang Ping's mouth. The blood marks were still there. It was obvious that he was seriously injured. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He was completely despairing. Since Wang Ping couldn't tolerate his superiors and fled to a hostile force to survive, in this troubled world where life is thinner than paper, what qualifications did he have to judge him?
There was a loud "swish", and the sound of the long sword's dragon chant came. Yu Jin, who was immersed in sadness, trembled all over when he heard the sound. When he saw Zhao Yun pull out a simple long sword, the blade was as crystal clear as ice and snow, thinking that Zhao Zilong Having decided to behead him and take credit, he couldn't help but kneel down facing the north, and Qi Qi ran his neck to be slaughtered. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was still in the north. Before his southern expedition, he was granted the title of Marquis of Yishouting by him, and he was considered a minister of the Han Dynasty. Lao Yu's family was also a loyal man for generations. Before his death, he paid homage to the emperor from afar, and he could be regarded as having fulfilled his duties throughout his life.
Zhao Zilong's green sword was unsheathed. In the blink of an eye, he raised the sword and dropped it. He only heard a click. Yu Jin, who was waiting for death behind closed doors, felt dizzy. Suddenly, he seemed to see the Naihe Bridge in the middle of the lake. However, after being dizzy, the lake in front of Yu Jin became bright again, reflecting a dazzling reflection of the sun. He had to use his hands to cover his eyes, only to find that the rope tied to his hands had been broken. It turned out that Zhao Yun had cut the rope with a sword.
Yu Jin couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Zhao Zilong! What do you mean? Shi Ke cannot be killed. You have killed so many brothers, and I, Yu Wenze, will not surrender to you!"
Zhao Yun was still calm and calm, and returned the sword to its sheath and said: "Wen Ze, when I joined the army, the Yellow Turban Uprising was in full swing in Jizhou. It could be said that the world was in chaos and all life was in ruins. I joined the army precisely because I identified with my lord Chen The concept of dragon is to use the fastest way to unify the country, eliminate the warlords fighting each other, and return a peaceful world to the people. I think Wen Ze joined the army not just for food and clothing."
Yu Jin didn't expect that Zhao Yun would talk to him about his ideals. Although he pretended to ignore it, his mind still recalled the oath he made when he joined the army when he was young. That oath is to protect the home and country, protect the environment and the people, and it makes people's blood rush.
The change in Yu Jin's expression did not escape Zhao Zilong's eyes. Zhao Long continued to ask loudly: "If people from two different camps share the same ideal, why can't they come together?"
Yu Jin couldn't turn a corner for a while, but he soon understood and his hands trembled. It turned out that Zhao Yun was persuading him to surrender and realize his ideal together. Sure enough, Zhao Yun continued to say: "If ideals are greater than everything else, should people who share the same ideals work together?"
Yu Jin was obviously stimulated by the words and began to smile bitterly and shake his head. Zhao Yunshi was shocked and said: "If the lord's ideal is different from Zilong's ideal, I, Zhao Zilong, will pursue my ideal and abandon the lord. Because I only believe that my own ideal is correct, and the lord happens to have the same ideals and concepts as me ."
Yu Jin's mouth was a little dry and he glanced around at the Qinglong Army. Zhao Zilong was so bold. He actually dared to say that he wanted to abandon his master in front of everyone? What kind of army is this?
Wang Ping was also in a daze beside him. Zhao Zilong's words were thought-provoking. If Chen Long and Zhao Zilong were not for the welfare of the people, they might never get together.
Wang Ping couldn't help but asked in a pensive voice: "What Zilong said is indeed thought-provoking. But the lord is the lord after all, and we, my subjects, should do our best to help realize the lord's ideals."
Zhao Yun smiled and said: "If my lord's ideal is to destroy the Han Dynasty and become emperor himself, will Zijun and Wenze also be loyal?"
Both Wang Ping and Yu Jin were shocked. Cao Cao pretended to be the prime minister of the Han family. Although he was arrogant and domineering, he never exceeded the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers to the Han emperor. Yu Jin sneered and said, "Zhao Zilong, don't make any insinuations. Things without evidence are just slander."
Zhao Zilong also sneered: "Then do you know what my lord Chen Long's ideal is? After my lord succeeds, he will only retire after his success and will never restore the imperial power. Return all power to all the people and let the people take charge of their own affairs. Take the initiative and negotiate to establish an education, medical, financial, and healthy social system that is truly beneficial to the people, so that the welfare system can operate permanently, so that the elderly can be provided for, the sick can be treated, and children can learn, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment for generations to come. I would like to ask Is there any system in the world that is more beneficial to the people than this? I would like to ask your lord Cao Cao, can he do it?"
Yu Jin shook his head subconsciously. These words were astonishing. Although Yu Jin had heard about the Qinglong Army's policies, hearing them from Zhao Zilong's mouth still felt very fresh. Zhao Zilong said slowly: "This is the ideal of the lord. He uses his ideal to lead me and my brothers Pao Ze, and we follow him at the expense of our lives, because what he wants to achieve is the true well-being of all people in the world. Wen Ze, you said, we have something in common Why do ideal people have to fight against each other and cannot work together?"
Yu Jin finally fully understood what Zhao Yun said. If he agreed with Chen Long's ideals, there should be no more inner demons of family disputes. No matter where efforts are made to unify the world, it is for the welfare of all people, not for the purpose of achieving military hegemony.
The boats on the lake were rippling, and the storm was gradually calming down, but in Jin's heart, huge waves were rising. Zhao Zilong's words were reasonable and gave the Qinglong Army's war ultimate meaning. If you fight for this ultimate meaning and only have justice in your heart, you will never back down.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
