Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 749

Thousands of people went out of the Great Wall that day, but now only three people have returned.

In Yuan Tan's life as a soldier, he had never suffered such a big loss.

Such a defeat can be said to be a major failure on Yuan Tan's journey.

Therefore, Yuan Tan's mentality has also changed a lot.

Since the Guandu crossing, I have been too smooth.

For a moment, I really thought that I was invincible and unstoppable.

The battle tonight also changed Yuan Tan's mind drastically.

He finally understood the cruelty of the battlefield and the bitterness of defeat.

From now on, you must think twice before you act, and you can no longer joke about the lives of the soldiers.

Zhong met Yuan Tan's temperament at the moment, and some people were depressed at the beginning.

I just want to find a topic to change the atmosphere at this time.

He just looked at the two people behind him.

At this moment, Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai, who were following behind Yuan Tan, were also in a panic.

Zhong Hui then set his sights on Zhou Tai.

At this moment, Zhou Tai's complexion was as white as rice paper, as if washed by saponins.

So Zhong Hui asked, "General Zhou, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so embarrassed?"

However Zhou Tai did not talk to him.

This made Zhong Hui very embarrassed.

Before that, he rarely communicated with these veterans, so that now he seems a bit out of place.

Zhong Hui coughed twice to relieve his embarrassment, and then shouted: "General Zhou, General Zhou..."

However, Zhou Tai still didn't say a word.

Even Zhao Yun looked back and saw that Zhou Tai's expression hadn't changed at all.

He was shocked immediately, got off his horse and went to help Zhou Tai.

When he met Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai fell off his horse like a dead tree.

Zhao Yun hurried forward to check.

When Yuan Tan heard the movement behind him, he immediately got off his horse and rushed over.

But he saw Zhao Yun holding Zhou Tai.

Then he asked: "Zilong, what's wrong with Youping?"

Seeing that Zhou Tai's body was cold, Zhao Yun tested his breath again.

It was discovered that Zhou Tai was already dead.

Then he said with a serious face: "My lord, General Zhou is dead."

Yuan Tan was shocked when he heard this.

During the break before, Zhou Tai also talked with him.

This road also did not encounter any enemy attack, why did he die?
Yuan Tan was also puzzled and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhao Yun was also hesitant to speak at the moment, with a slight sadness on his face.

When Yuan Tan saw it, he knew that Zhao Yun must have known about it.

He then asked, "Zilong, do you know something? Tell me quickly."

Zhao Yun looked at Zhou Tai, then gritted his teeth and said, "General Zhou was actually seriously injured a long time ago, but in order to protect his lord all the way, he kept silent and endured it."

Yuan Tan was even more surprised, and said, "I don't know exactly when You Ping was injured."

Zhao Yun then said: "My lord, do you still remember that shot in the back?"

Yuan Tan began to recall, and soon thought of the fatal arrow Zhao Yun reminded him of.

At that time, due to the natural reaction of the human body, I also closed my eyes.

I really don't know what happened next.

When he found out, Zhou Tai was already standing in front of him.

So he looked at Zhao Yun, wanting him to tell him what happened at that time.

Zhao Yun then said: "At that time, General Zhou also found the shooter, but he didn't have time to react, so he could only step forward and use his body to block the arrow."

Yuan Tan then said: "But I didn't see the arrow wound on Youping at that time?"

Zhao Yun took off Zhou Tai's armor, and saw that half of the wooden stick could be vaguely seen on his chest, and the inside was deeply penetrated into the flesh.

The clothes under him were also stained red with blood.

The solidification of the wound at this moment shows that the injury has been there for a long time.

Yuan Tan also didn't say a word at this moment, and now he is in a daze.

Zhao Yun then said: "At that time, General Zhou was afraid that the lord would be worried, so he cut off the tail of the arrow, and because of the armor covering it, the lord didn't notice it."

Yuan Tan gradually listened and asked emotionlessly: "Then Youping was carried back like this all the way?"

Zhao Yun also nodded.

Yuan Tan also suddenly felt heartache at this moment. Who would have thought that a person who was wounded by an arrow would not even groan.

However, he was galloping on horseback all the way, and his wounds might have been opened countless times.

However, Yuan Tan didn't realize it at all.

Even Yuan Tan bowed down, leaned beside Zhou Tai and said, "You Ping, why didn't you tell me you were injured."

Zhao Yun then explained: "Because we are fleeing, General Zhou is afraid that the Lord will know that he is seriously injured, so he will delay the time, and the situation is urgent at that time, and the pursuers will arrive at any time, so there is no delay."

At this moment, Yuan Tan's eyes began to turn misty.

Zhao Yun then said: "At that time, General Zhou also proposed to wait for my death..."

Yuan Tan interrupted: "Stop talking."

This time, Zhou Tai's death dealt a great blow to Yuan Tan.

So much so that Zhao Yun, who had always cared for him, now sounded a little heavier.

Yuan Tan hates it now, hates himself for not finding out in advance.

If he had been treated earlier, his life might have been saved.

Why...

But it's too late to say anything now.

When Zhong Huizhi saw him, he also stepped forward and said, "General Zhou Gaoyi, please express my lord's condolences."

How can Yuan Tan mourn at this moment, how can you let him not feel sad.

Zhou Tai is loyal and righteous, and his courage is not inferior to Guan Sheng.

However, at this moment, he died just to protect himself.

How could Yuan Tan accept this.

Zhong Hui then continued: "Generals have died in hundreds of battles. It is considered an honor for General Zhou to die on the battlefield. By being loyal to the lord, we have already put life and death aside, so why should the lord care so much."

Yuan Tan then said: "Your life is mine. I didn't tell you to die. Why do you die?"

The two were also shocked when they heard that, they didn't expect Yuan Tan to say such a thing.

Yuan Tan then said: "What kind of general died in a hundred battles, why didn't he care about life and death, why should he die to be honored?"

"I don't want to, I don't want to see any of you die before me. It was not allowed before, and it will not be allowed in the future."

"I, Yuan Tan, make an oath here. From now on, I will protect you thoroughly and never let any of you walk in front of me. If you break this oath, heaven and man will abandon you."

The two saw Yuan Tan swearing so viciously.

I can't help but be very moved.

Yuan Tan looked at Zhou Tai again at this moment, his expression gradually returned to normal, his eyes were also slightly soft, and he said: "Buy Youping's body well."

After speaking, he left alone.

On the way of his departure, there was a little bit of desolation.

Zhong Hui was silent for a long time, then said to Zhao Yun: "I finally know why you are willing to sacrifice your life to serve the Lord so much."

After Zhao Yun heard this, he also took a meaningful look at the cold Zhou Tai.

At this time, he also made up his mind, he must be like Zhou Tai, and protect the lord with his own life.
