Warriors

As he spoke, he raised his head again, looked at the row of kneeling soldiers behind him and sighed: "These brothers all followed General Zhao and General Cao sincerely, and they left Zhang Miao's camp together with the villain tonight. ..."

Zhang Miao is also one of the vassals of the Eighteenth Route, but unfortunately he is too arrogant and conceited, and he often confronts Yuan Shao, which has caused his subordinates, commanders, captains, and generals to have a hard time in the general alliance. Being vaguely forced to the front of the formation, resulting in heavy losses of soldiers and horses.

But Zhang Miao didn't go to battle, he didn't care about these things, instead he thought that Yuan Shao gave him the credit, and then he also exchanged the desperate fighting of his subordinates for his own reputation.

The team leader also saw it clearly, and then made a decisive decision, and directly took his trusted subordinates out of Zhang Miao's camp overnight, and came to defect to Cao Cao, hoping to find a place to live and work.

More importantly, Zhao Zhou and Cao Cao had the same prestige for a while. After much deliberation, they felt that Cao Cao's side was the most suitable one.

"I hope that General Cao and General Zhao will accept me!"

The officers and soldiers behind him spoke sincerely, and bowed when they finished speaking.

"Okay! Get up quickly, you are all heroes, it is my blessing to vote and follow Cao Cao!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed. Although he saw that the number of these people was small, he also saw signs of his prestige with Zhao Zhou. Otherwise, they would not have abandoned Zhang Miao and came to join him.

And Zhang Miao is also a good friend of Cao Cao. Cao Cao knows his character well, and he is not afraid of him at all, let alone accepting his soldiers.

"Zhang Miao is arrogant and ineffective, but he is very happy with his achievements. Don't say that he defected alone, even if he came to vote in a village, he would save face. He would not question the company and family, and he would not spread rumors that his soldiers and horses were lost. Especially He has spent too much of his soldiers and horses now, only for me and Sun Jian, and he will not offend my husband and me because of a small matter of a dozen people..."

Cao Cao said something to Zhao Zhou in a low voice, and hurriedly dismounted with Zhao Zhou to help everyone, and asked Xiahou Dun and others who came behind to get some clothes from the luggage in the army, and distributed them to those shivering in the cold weather. Dedicated soldiers.

"Thank you General Zhao and General Cao!"

The soldiers all drank together in gratitude, took over the armor with tears of gratitude, and at the same time notified their respective names.

"The villain's name is Sun Si, from Youzhou..." the team spoke first, a name they had never heard of.

From Zhao Zhou's point of view, his martial arts skills are mediocre, and he is just an ordinary team leader.

But after all, they belonged to the first batch of people who came to defect.

Cao Cao treated him politely, let him join his team first, and still be the leader of the original military team. When he returned to Chenliu, he would add some troops to complete the team.It is also for the team to lead the side to install some of their own people, lest there will be changes.

And Zhao Zhou didn't say much, and didn't care about Cao Cao's thoughts. Instead, he looked at a soldier behind the leader.

"Thank you General for taking me in!"

Now after the soldier kowtowed and stood up, he was always more than 1.9 meters tall, and he was wearing an ill-fitting armor. It was not given by Cao Cao, but distributed to him by the team leader since he joined Zhang Miao's battalion.

It's just that the armor equipped by soldiers is like a 'standard production line', with incomplete specifications, sizes and styles, and only a few types.

Among them, the largest soldier armor style, about 1.8 meters of armor, is worn on him, and it is still a bit small, so that the armor is round, and it is wrapped around him with a kind of beast's big tendons to prevent it from collapsing.

But these big tendons are worn and tied inside the armor, which also makes this soldier very 'fat'.

However, in Zhao Zhou's opinion, this soldier is too strong!

Because, the palms, neck, and face exposed by his armor are full of muscles!There are no ribs, some are square, and the appearance is a bit hideous, and it is also a bit unsightly.

"Who is this person? Those big tendons seem to be the big tendons of tigers and leopards..." Zhao Zhou glanced at him, then looked at the end of a big tendon exposed on his armor, a little curious, waiting for his turn to report his name join the team.

Not too long.

After the soldiers in front reported, it was his turn.

"Little man... Dian Wei, there is no word..."

The soldier's voice was a little stuttering, and he seemed to rarely communicate with others.

Because Dian Wei once killed a person, he avoided disaster in the deep mountains and old forests, surrounded by wild beasts and wolves, and no one chatted with him, as time passed, he stopped talking.

Those big tendons were indeed brought by him from hunting, and he usually used them to bind prey, and he took them with him as a kind of convenient rope.

At this time, after Dian Wei reported his name, he also scratched his head towards Zhao Zhou and Cao Cao who were looking at him. His face was also a little dull, but it was matched with his horizontal muscles and expressionless expression. , it is a bit permeable in the night.

"This person looks a bit ugly..." Xia Houdun and other generals behind Cao Cao and Zhao Zhou were a little bit contemptuous when they saw Dian Wei's infiltrating appearance.

After all, among the Three Kingdoms, it seems that all the generals are handsome, or have an extraordinary temperament. Dian Wei, who looks so strange, can be called the only one.

Ordinarily, such a strange appearance will also attract attention.

It's just that Dian Wei's armor is too small, doesn't fit well, and doesn't look burly, but looks bloated.The big ribs exposed on the armor could have been bought, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

In addition, Dian Wei has no reputation at all nowadays, he is just a soldier, and his martial arts have not yet been shown.

Now that soldiers and generals meet, the first impression must be the same.

It doesn't look good, and it will inevitably lack some good reviews.

"Although this man looks tall and strong, his speech lacks confidence." Dian Wei, who rarely communicates with others, stammered, and was mistaken by Xia Houdun and others for "lack of confidence", but it is a pity that he has a good physique .

But Cao Cao still treated him politely, let him divide and mix into his army, and followed his original team rate, without special care or neglect.

But in fact, Cao Cao, who cared about his appearance, also looked down on Dian Wei's appearance.

"Seeing this person is like seeing me, Cao Cao."

Cao Cao laughed at himself from the bottom of his heart. Seeing that everyone had returned to the team, he bowed his hands to Zhao Zhou and set off.

"Dianwei..." Zhao Zhou saw Dianwei's name for a moment, and then looked at Dianwei who was running into the team cheerfully at this time. He didn't say much, and prepared to leave here. On the way back to Chenliu, introduce him to Cao Cao and give him a surprise.

Also stop and go along the way.

After working hard all night, the soldiers hurried all the way, and at midnight, they rushed to set up camp outside Hulao Pass.

The next day.

The army prepared some dry food on the way back to Chenliu, and set off at noon, another day of rushing.

but.

At the end of the evening, Zhao Zhou immediately practiced boxing to keep his figure from being jolted by the horse.Tired from practicing and having nothing to do, during the rest time when the soldiers were eating dry food, they also patrolled the team intentionally or unintentionally, passing by Dian Wei's side.

"General Zhao!"

"General Zhao!"

With a shout, the soldiers who saw Zhao Zhou on patrol all put down their dry food and hurriedly saluted, looking at Zhao Zhou with expressions of admiration.

Zhao Zhou also bowed his hands on horseback to return the salute, with an approachable look, signaling to the soldiers to continue eating.

Afterwards, he came to Dianwei's side under the more respectful and admiring eyes of the soldiers, and found that Dianwei didn't seem to be liked by the team leader and his former companions, and he ate alone and found a shade under a tree The ground is eating, and there are no companions around.

This is also why Dian Wei's appearance is too ferocious. When eating, the muscles on his face tense together, like a wild animal eating.

Ordinary people feel their scalps go numb when they see it, and it is really impossible to ignore it and eat.
