Zhending County is located in the east of Changshan Kingdom and adjacent to Zhongshan Kingdom.
The Zhao family is also a wealthy family in Zhending County.
When Zhao Yun was young, in his early twenties, he took the troops raised in Changshan Kingdom and went north to Youzhou to help Gongsun Zan. He followed Gongsun Zan to conquer Wuhuan and Xianbei, and became famous beyond the Great Wall.
It is a pity that although Zhao Yun was brave under Gongsun Zan, he never became Gongsun Zan's core.
Just like this, when Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan sent Tian Kai to Qingzhou, Gongsun Zan threw Zhao Yun over to assist Liu Bei, not caring what Zhao Yun thought. If Zhao Yun was Gongsun Zan's confidant, would he be sent to Liu Bei's side?
impossible!
Liu Bei followed Tian Kai to Qingzhou. He was the younger brother of Gongsun Zan's younger brother Tian Kai.
Zhao Yun went to assist Liu Bei and became Liu Bei's younger brother, Gongsun Zan's younger brother Tian Kai.
This is marginal!
Precisely because of this, the relationship between Zhao Yun and Gongsun Zan is not very harmonious.
At that time, Zhao Yun was assisting Liu Bei in Qingzhou. Because of Liu Bei's personal charm, Zhao Yun respected Liu Bei very much, and the relationship between the two parties was very good. Later, Zhao Yun's eldest brother passed away, and Zhao Yun left Liu Bei and returned to Zhending County, Changshan State, to observe mourning.
In Zhending County, the Zhao family.
Zhao Yun was dressed in plain clothes and was practicing shooting in the backyard.
The spear in his hand, called the Gentian Bright Silver Spear, is extremely sharp.
Today, Zhao Yun is close to thirty years old and in his prime. He held a large spear in his hand. As his hands exerted force, the spear shook, and the tip of the spear turned into dots of cold light, flickering in the air, making people shudder.
What Zhao Yun is good at is marksmanship, and his marksmanship is extremely dexterous and extremely lethal.
The whistling of spears echoed in the courtyard.
After a long time, Zhao Yun stopped.
He let out a long breath, handed the big gun in his hand to the servant, took the handkerchief and wiped the slight sweat on his forehead, and then slowly returned to the study to rest. At this time, the housekeeper came and reported: "Sir, the county magistrate Zhao Cheng is here."
"please!"
Zhao Yun gave an order.
The housekeeper went to inform him, and after a while, Zhao Cheng entered the study.
Zhao Cheng is in his early forties and has an elegant appearance. In terms of relationship, the county magistrate Zhao Cheng is Zhao Yun's cousin and a member of the Zhao family in Zhending County. When Zhao Yun went to follow Gongsun Zan, he was able to lead his tribe because he had the support of his family and was able to recruit troops.
In fact, this was the norm during the late Han Dynasty.
Many generals under Cao Cao, when Yu Jin pledged their allegiance to Cao Cao, they defected with their tribes; when Li Dian pledged allegiance to Cao Cao, they also had tribes of the Li family following him; Xu Chu defected to Cao Cao, also with his tribes.
This is the norm for large families.
Zhao Cheng sat down directly, his eyes were expectant, and he said: "Zilong, your filial piety period has come. Now, you can go out to do things, why do you always stay at home? You have martial arts, you should realize your ambitions and promote my true determination. The majesty of the Zhao family.”
Zhao Yun said: "Brother, I'm still thinking about it."
Zhao Cheng flicked his sleeves and said urgently: "When you worked for Gongsun Zan back then, we all thought highly of Gongsun Zan, so we handed over all the family members to you and took them to Youzhou."
"I didn't expect that Gongsun Zan is such a bastard. He doesn't know how to behave. He doesn't even know how to reciprocate kindness. He treats my members of the Zhao family harshly at every turn."
"Especially at the beginning, Gongsun Zan was so powerful that Yuan Shao couldn't breathe. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, he was beaten to the ground by Yuan Shao and was unable to recover. In my opinion, I can't go to Gongsun Zan's place now."
"The family's suggestion is that you serve under Yuan Shao. What do you think?"
Zhao Cheng leaned forward slightly.
The relationship between the family is very harmonious, and Zhao Cheng speaks easily without any scruples.
Zhao Yun frowned and said: "Yuan Shao values celebrities and does not pay attention to military generals. I am a warrior and I will not be reused if I go under Yuan Shao's command. In addition, Yuan Shao's subordinates are all occupied by big families in Jizhou. Our Zhao family in Zhending County is in Zhending County is good, but it’s difficult to go under Yuan Shao’s command.”
Having said this, a look of nostalgia appeared in Zhao Yun's eyes, and he said: "Liu Bei, who worked with General Gongsun back then, was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. He was a good candidate. But now, there is no news about him. "
Zhao Cheng frowned and said, "Isn't Zilong unwilling to serve Yuan Shao?"
Zhao Yun said: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to go to Yecheng, it's just that it's not appropriate."
"Oh, that's all."
Zhao Cheng shook his head and said: "You have always had your own opinions, and the family can't do anything to you. In short, you should carefully consider your own future. The family's future also needs your consideration. If it doesn't work, just stay in Zhending. The county does things.”
"Not in a hurry."
Zhao Yun shook his head.
He looked calm and said, "It's actually not bad to stay at home and cultivate your character these past few years."
Zhao Cheng listened to Zhao Yun's words and said: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you, you can make up your own mind. In short, you have made a decision, and the family fully supports you. In our family, you are the only one with outstanding martial arts. In these troubled times, it is the military commander. Seize the opportunity to gain fame and fame immediately.”
He got up and walked out.
Zhao Yun bowed his hands and said, "Thank you for your understanding, brother."
He watched Zhao Cheng leave with a look of gratitude in his eyes. His family was very tolerant and helpful to him. It's just that he hasn't thought about where to go to do things now.
Gongsun Zan abandoned himself in Youzhou and was already useless. There was no point in returning to Gongsun Zan's command. What's more, Gongsun Zan didn't pay attention to him back then, let alone now.
As for Yuan Shao, he helped Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao became enemies, and the two sides also had conflicts.
Zhao Yun didn't say anything about this before.
Zhao Yun even heard that Yuan Shao was narrow-minded and headstrong, so he had no intention of joining Yuan Shao's army. In fact, Zhao Yun wanted to serve the imperial court, but the Zhao family was not a big family and he did not have any personal connections.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Yun hesitated.
While Zhao Yun was deep in thought, there was a sound of footsteps. The butler came again and bowed to report: "Sir, a young man came outside. He said he was your old friend and came to visit you specially."
Zhao Yun has always been bold and has some friends. When he heard the butler's words, although he didn't know who the person was, he ordered: "Invite people in."
The housekeeper went to inform.
After a while, Lu Xuan entered the study.
Lu Xuan was wearing a white robe, a turban on his head, and a sword hanging from his waist. He looked handsome and unrestrained. He entered the room and looked at Zhao Yun.
The Zhao Yun in front of him was nearly thirty years old, with a strong build, piercing eyes, cheeks as sharp as a knife and an axe, and a fierce aura all over his body. Such a person, once standing in the army, has a strong intimidating effect.
Lu Xuan didn't put much effort into finding Zhao Yun this time. After all, Zhao Yun was well-known in Zhending County, and the Zhao family was not a small family in Zhending County.
When Lu Xuan saw Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun also noticed Lu Xuan.
Zhao Yun looked at him for a while, his face full of doubts. He thought about it and found that he had no impression of Lu Xuan. He asked, "I have no impression of you. Are you really my good friend?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "We have been friends for a long time, are we considered good friends?"
A flash of light flashed across Zhao Yun's eyes, he stared at Lu Xuan, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is your Excellency?"
Lu Xuan said calmly: "Lu Xuan of Lujiang County is here to visit Zilong."
Zhao Yun's pupils shrank, and he was surprised.
Lu Xuan of Lujiang County!
There is only one person in the world who dares to say this, at this age and with such a distinguished appearance.
That is Wu Wang Lu Xuan.
