There is a secret passage in Xiaoguan City?
This matter was interesting, and Cao Cao immediately waved his hand to Xia Houyuan to lead the way to find out.
After walking around the city twice, he came to the mansion where Lin Mo built the secret tunnel. He squatted down, looked at the dark entrance, touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
"Sikong, you said that Lin Mo's martial arts are so poor. Why didn't he escape through the secret passage when we attacked?" Xu Chu scratched his head, puzzled.
Cao Cao ignored Xu Chu, but took out a piece of mud at the entrance of the cave, crushed it in his hands, and suddenly realized, "Looking at the color of the earth, the tunnel must have been dug just a few days ago. No wonder that boy appeared in Xiaoguan, no?" He anticipated our plan and came here specifically to check out the tunnel.”
After saying this, everyone around him immediately understood.
Cao Cao continued to explain: "As for why he didn't escape from the secret passage, our people arrived too suddenly, and he was worried that he would be spotted if he escaped from the secret passage. Furthermore, I guess there were no horses arranged at the exit of the secret passage at that time. After entering Xiaoguan, it is very easy to be surrounded without war horses.
Of course, there is also a third possibility. He wants to use this secret passage to counterattack and recapture Xiao Pass. "
At this point, even Xu Chu understood all the inexplicable things.
Dian Wei said confidently: "Don't worry, Si Kong. The general has sent people to guard the entrance to the hill. If the Lu army dares to sneak attack, they will never come back!"
The person who discovered the secret passage was Dian Wei's Buqu, so he was quite proud of it.
Cao Cao looked at Dian Wei angrily and funny, he had some brains, but not much.
"Why don't you think about it the other way around, let's pretend we don't know anything and let Lu Bu's men attack from the tunnel, and then we'll take advantage of it?"
Forehead.
Dian Wei's eyes were confused and he looked helplessly at Xu Chu. Obviously, this guy couldn't give him the answer he wanted.
Showing off his strategies in front of these generals could not satisfy Cao Cao, so he could only wave his hand and said, "Get the people back quickly. Just pretend you don't know about this."
Cao Cao was actually a little scared. Fortunately, they discovered this secret passage, otherwise yesterday's secret pass would definitely happen again.
However, now that we have discovered it, we can't just stop it like Dian Wei did.
He felt that he should discuss with Xun You how to use the plan more perfectly.
However, I was always a little curious in my heart, why did Lin Mo dig such a tunnel in Xiaoguan? Could it be that that boy was really good at calculations, and he had already expected that Xiaoguan might change hands.
No wonder Lu Bu traded three counties for him without blinking an eye. He was indeed doing something extraordinary.
During the battle at Xiaoguan, Zhao Yun was obviously exhausted and slept for a full day and night before waking up.
When he opened his eyes, Lu Bu, Lin Mo and Zhang Xiu were standing beside his bed.
"Marquis Wen!" Zhao Yun was not injured, but was exhausted. After regaining his energy, he quickly stood up and bowed.
Lu Bu looked at him with his arms folded and nodded frequently, "Under Xiaoguan City, he single-handedly broke into thousands of Cao's army arrays. He fought against Cao Cao's four generals and was able to escape unscathed. He also rescued Yunwen and Ling'er from Dian Wei.
Okay, okay, I finally know why that guy Yunwen went to all the trouble to invite you over from Changshan. It's amazing, Zilong.
This feat was something I would never have accomplished even when I was young. "
"Marquis Wen has said it, but Yun is ashamed." Zhao Yun was still very humble.
He may not know that he is the first person to be praised by Lu Bu for his martial arts prowess, and that he is directly compared to him. This is a great recognition.
"I have finally found a general who can command this group of Bingzhou elite cavalry under my command."
Lu Bu patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder, "Zilong, from now on, I will appoint you as the captain of the Po Military Academy, and command 1,200 elite cavalry under my command."
According to the military system, a school captain can command two thousand troops. However, the cavalry system is different. To command a thousand cavalry, one must be a school captain. For someone who only commanded five hundred soldiers under Gongsun Zan, this can be regarded as skipping the army. Sima was directly promoted to two levels.
Zhao Yun's eyes flickered, and he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Marquis Wen!"
Lin Mo punched Zhao Yun on the chest and said with a smile: "Zilong, you are an extraordinary captain. There are two most elite troops in our army. One is the 800-trap camp led by Bo Ping. There is a big battle, and we must defeat the enemy in battle.”
Zhao Yun knew this. Regarding the trapped camp, he had heard the name in Changshan and nodded in understanding.
Then, Lin Mo continued: "And this second elite team is the Bingzhou Elite Cavalry led by Lord Yuezhang. Starting from Guanzhong, this elite cavalry has never been led by a captain. You can be regarded as the first since its formation." people."
Zhao Yun was a little stunned and looked at Zhang Xiu with surprise in his eyes. The latter nodded, and he finally confirmed his doubts.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Lin Mo, but what he said was too shocking.
Zhao Yun has always known that Lu Bu had an extremely elite cavalry under his command. It is said that the Huns and Xianbei who were killed on the border of Bingzhou were frightened and changed their expressions when they heard about it, and the name of the flying general was born.
Later, the powerful force that took control of the Central Plains was like Lu Bu's trump card. If it is not easy to play, it will be unfavorable.
This kind of elite among the elite is something that all princes will work hard to create, such as Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi Cong, Yuan Shao's Euphorbia Soldiers and Xian Dengying, Dong Zhuo's Flying Bear Army, etc.
However, such a powerful force is too powerful. It must either be personally commanded by the owner, or only the most trusted person can lead it. Zhao Yun has only been here for a few days.
Apart from anything else, when I was a military prince under Gongsun Zan, it was difficult to see him, let alone a white-horse retinue.
After realizing how valuable this lieutenant was, Zhao Yun was flattered and took two steps back. He clasped his fists and bowed again, "Marquis Wen, how can I be a general in this important position? I'm afraid it will attract criticism!"
He was very aware of the culture of competition in the army. He appointed the most elite ace troops as soon as he came up. How could other generals who had followed Lu Bu for many years be convinced?
In fact, Zhao Yun himself didn't dare to think about this at all, he just felt that he should show off his talents.
"In the battle at Xiaoguan, even Cao Jun was afraid of your Zhao Zilong's bravery. Who dares to disapprove?"
Lu Bu directly put his arm on Zhao Yun's shoulder and walked out, saying as he walked: "What's more, there is no greater merit than the savior. You saved Yunwen and Ling'er, and you are the savior.
Furthermore, my group of old brothers have survived through the blood and blood of the battlefield over the years, and ordinary people cannot control it, but they are convinced by you.
Let's go and show you. "
It is undeniable that Lin Mo strongly requested that Zhao Yun lead the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, but Lu Bu himself had always wanted to find a talent in this field.
Looking at the entire military camp, except Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, no one can take on this important task.
Gao Shun was trapped in the camp, and with the expansion of his territory, Zhang Liao often had to take charge of his own affairs, so there was no suitable candidate for him. Zhao Yun's sudden appearance fulfilled Lu Bu's wish.
Furthermore, Xiao Guan was a savior in times of crisis, and Lu Bu also liked Zhao Yun very much, so giving it to him was not too much.
In the military camp in the school field, Lu Bu took Zhao Yun to the camp of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Several centurions were lying on the couches, and there were also some people who were not paying attention to their feet and gnawed on the leg of mutton.
At first glance, he looks like a lazy market person.
It was when they saw Lu Bu coming that the seven or eight people stood up in a panic. The man who was gnawing on the leg of lamb put down the meat, wiped his greasy hands on his body, and grinned.
"Listen, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong are the captains of the military academy. From now on, you will be assigned to him."
After Lu Bu finished speaking, the eight bearded men nodded and bowed to Zhao Yun, "I have met General Zhao."
"From now on, we will live and die together, no need to be polite." Zhao Yun waved his hand.
"Zilong, don't think they are a little lazy compared to the sergeants training outside. These people are all accustomed to the days of licking blood on the tip of a knife."
As he said this, he walked up to one of the men and patted his chest, "This Chen Zhao killed seventy-eight of Cao's army during the Battle of Puyang.
and this"
Lu Bu pursed his lips at the man next to him, "Zhang Kang, during the battle at Xingyang, Cao Cao's general Xia Houyuan was almost entangled by him. If Dian Wei had not arrived in time, he and his men could have killed Xia Hou Yuan. "
It could be seen that Lu Bu was very satisfied with these people. He looked around at everyone and said with emotion: "In terms of military merit, these people are not only captains but also army commanders. But my Bingzhou Jingqi cannot do without them, so we can only Write it down first."
"It doesn't matter, as long as the meat tube is enough, I was so greedy when I was a child that I would panic if I didn't eat meat for a day." The man who was chewing meat just now said with a grin.
In fact, he didn't need to explain. From the unruly look in their eyes, Zhao Yun could tell that these people were veterans on the battlefield.
A person's temperament may be formed innately, so it is said that one looks eighty at the age of three, but temperament is mostly acquired.
From their bodies, Zhao Yun could feel a bloodthirsty and unruly temperament. This kind of temperament would not be cultivated at all if he did not have countless lives under his hands.
This is often the case with people who can treat life and death calmly.
After chatting for a while and getting familiar with everyone's names, Lu Bu took Zhao Yun out of the school grounds.
"Zilong, do you have any other requests? Let me mention them together." Perhaps because of saving Lin Mo and Lu Lingqi, Lu Bu did not hide his love for Zhao Yun at all.
"Marquis Wen has such great love, I will be extremely grateful, so why ask for it?" Zhao Yun stopped and bowed to Lu Bu again.
"I'm talking about you."
Lu Bu wanted to laugh, but shook his head, "Don't be so tight all day long, relax. Didn't you just say that we will live and die together from now on? Relax."
Zhao Yun is good at everything, but sometimes he is too reserved, which Lu Bu doesn't like very much. He thinks there is still some distance between them.
In fact, not entirely. As Zhao Yun, who had served under Gongsun Zan for more than four years, led his tribe to defection and killed enemies and made contributions in exchange for such a military prince, his heart had long been overshadowed by the feeling of depression and lack of ambition.
It had only been a short time since I came to Xuzhou, and I suddenly became a popular military captain in the army. It was inevitable that I was a little at a loss.
But after hearing what Lu Bu said, his mouth moved, as if he wanted to speak but then stopped.
"Say what you want to say." Lin Mo encouraged him directly.
Zhao Yun took a deep breath and looked at Lu Bu, "General, I heard someone say that during the Battle of Puyang, Marquis Wen once single-handedly fought against the six tiger generals Cao Ying Dianwei, Xu Chu, Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun, Yue Jin and Li Dian. .
The general wanted to know how many alliances Marquis Wen had resisted at that time. "
When he first heard about this, Zhao Yun only thought that Lu Bu was extremely brave, but found it difficult to empathize with him.
But this time in the Xiaoguan battle, he fought Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Xia Houyuan and Le Jin alone, but he almost lost his life after only thirty battles, and his tassels and helmets were thrown away.
In addition, he fought against Dian Wei later, and he had a certain understanding of his martial arts.
At this point, it was hard to calm down, and I felt that this matter was a bit too far-fetched.
It's impossible to do it in his place anyway.
Lu Bu recalled it for a while, frowned and said, "I can't remember clearly, maybe twenty or thirty rounds. These guys are quite tricky."
Quite. Quite tricky? Are you so calm and calm?
Zhao Yun was a little speechless in his heart. I almost died after hitting four.
It seems that this bright silver spear can't beat Fang Tian's painted halberd.
When he first came from Changshan, he was holding back his energy and wanted to compete with Lu Bu.
Even when it came to performing martial arts in the school field later, he had already thought about it, and when the time came, he would pick Lu Bu, and if he came, he would do something earth-shattering.
But now that he has become the captain of Po Military Academy, there is obviously no need for a martial arts competition. Even if he does, Zhao Yun feels that he cannot really challenge Lu Bu. There seems to be a gap.
As an insurmountable mountain that stands before the generals of the world, Lu Bu has long been accustomed to being challenged by anyone. He quickly saw Zhao Yun's thoughts and laughed immediately, "Zilong, do you want to hear the truth? "
"Please give me some advice from Marquis Wen." Zhao Yun instinctively wanted to bow, but then he remembered Lu Bu's words just now and stopped.
Lu Bu crossed his arms and looked at Zhao Yun, and nodded slightly, "The Cao soldiers Zilong killed at Xiaoguan turned their backs on their backs. Yunwen said that you can go in and out of thousands of troops as easily as you can watch flowers and fish. You can be said to be the best in the world, but..."
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Bu smiled knowingly, shook his head and said, "You can't beat me, that's for sure."
So direct? My old father-in-law, Lin Mo thinks he can be more tactful. He wants to save face.
Before Zhao Yun could speak, Lu Bu continued: "But the premise is a life and death fight. When I go all out, if I can't give it my all, I may not be sure to beat you. So, do you understand?"
Zhao Yun savored Lu Bu's words carefully, and then he also laughed, "The general will understand!"
What I have said is very clear. In short, you, don't challenge me. I will definitely not be able to defeat each other, but if each other uses full firepower, there will inevitably be casualties, which is not good for anyone.
Lin Mo didn't say anything because he also felt that what Lu Bu said was true.
In today's world, when it comes to fighting alone, no one can be the opponent of the old father-in-law, not even Zilong. There is no doubt about this.
"You don't have to be disappointed."
The group of people continued to move forward, perhaps aroused by Zhao Yun's intention, he said with great interest: "We can still learn from each other and find time to have a fight on this martial arts field.
In so many years, this is the first time I have seen someone who can fight thousands of enemy troops alone and retreat unscathed from many tiger generals. "
"Hurrah."
Zhao Yun became interested as soon as he heard this, "The general really wants Marquis Wen to point out his shortcomings in marksmanship."
He believed what Lu Bu said was true, but he still wanted to fight Lu Bu.
This is an unavoidable thought among military generals all over the world. It can even be said to be the inner demon in martial arts.
"When Yunwen takes care of Cao Cao, we can fight with confidence."
Seeing that Zhao Yun had no more requests, Lu Bu waved to Lin Mo and said, "Follow me home in a minute. I have something for you."
Oh, does my old father-in-law have another gift? Lin Mo nodded quickly. After all, it would not be easy for his old father-in-law to use it as a gift.
