Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

"Why?" Zhao Yun straightened up suddenly, and his figure, which was much taller than Li Mu, immediately cast a shadow in front of Li Mu in the light of the fire, "Could it be that he thinks that he used Xuzhou's method... "

He has always been upright and ignorant of calculations, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know the methods used by various families to compete for supremacy in this troubled world.Hearing the news about Liu Bei just now, he was so excited that he didn't react, but when he thought about it for a while, he immediately thought that it seemed that he had taken advantage of Cao Cao's power to attack Xuzhou without attacking Yuan Shu.

But in the past, when Cao Cao's soldiers went to Xuzhou to slaughter the city, he went to the rescue with Liu Bei. He still remembered the compassion of that gentle man when he looked at the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and the lenient intention when he took in the refugees. Only this man can hang his heart on the people in the city, so that Xuzhou, a land that has suffered from wars and poisons for a long time, can recuperate.

In contrast, although he was a little concerned about Liu Bei's methods, after all, Yuan Shu's arrogance was an act of disloyalty and disobedience. When he raises enough troops, money and food, he will definitely send troops to Shouchun immediately.

Seeing his expression, Li Mu guessed that he was going to excuse Liu Bei, so he waved his hand at him immediately: "Seize the opportunity in troubled times and take advantage of the situation. If I were Liu Bei, I would probably be the same as him and take the opportunity to take advantage of it." Go to Xuzhou."

There was a pause, and without waiting for Zhao Yun to ask again, the topic changed, "Does General Zilong know about Gongsun Zan of Youzhou?"

Zhao Yun was startled suddenly, and a trace of sadness flashed in his handsome and handsome eyebrows. He slowly clasped his hands on his knees, and sat back slowly, with a low voice: "General Baima is the old master of Yun."

This answer was beyond Li Mu's expectations. The news that Gongsun Zan had surrounded Yijing for Yuan Shao for several months, finally set fire to the city, and died in the city had just reached her.Ever since she met Zhao Yun, she has been thinking about how to persuade him to stay in Jiangdong. It was not until she saw this military newspaper that she suddenly remembered what Tai Shici told her in Shouchun when she first came here. In "Bedtime Stories", in addition to the Eighteenth Route princes begging for Dong Zhuo, there is also a story about him riding a horse alone to break out of the encirclement and ask Liu Bei for rescue for Kong Rong.

At that time, Liu Bei was declared by Gongsun Zan as the county magistrate of Pingyuan, and he was in charge of the soldiers, horses, money and food of a city.Even after responding to Kong Rong and sending troops to rescue Xuzhou's soldiers and horses in response to Tao Qian's affection, he also borrowed from Gongsun Zan.

Therefore, Li Mu found an entry point to have a good talk with Zhao Yun.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun was actually Gongsun Zan's general!

After being taken aback for a moment, she quickly came back to her senses, smiled slightly, nodded and continued: "In this case, Zilong should know that Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei have a very close friendship."

"General Baima and Duke Xuande once had a classmate friendship." Zhao Yun pondered for a moment, but he didn't know why Li Mu suddenly mentioned Gongsun Zan. It was not convenient for him to talk about the old master's personal friendship in front of others, so he only answered Li Mu's words with a light sentence.

That day, Gongsun Zan borrowed [-] soldiers from Liu Bei to save Xuzhou from danger. He was one of the [-] soldiers, so he was able to see Liu Bei weeping while caressing the dead body under the city of Xuzhou. situation.

Li Mu nodded, and raised his eyebrows again: "I think my brother wanted to borrow a thousand from Yuan Shu, which belonged to the old Sun family, and he had to use the jade seal that was passed down by his father as a payment, so that Yuan Shu's scourge of arrogance would be made today." In the past, my father and Yuan Shu fought against Dong Zhuo together, and the righteousness of the comrades who depended on each other for life and death was still the same. General Baima happily borrowed troops from Liu Bei to rescue Xuzhou just because of the friendship of his classmates.

"However, I don't understand. Since there is such affection, even if General Baima commits perverse actions, the crime is unforgivable. He really deserves to die. Liu Bei, as the emperor's uncle Zuo General, is also well-known. If he can get a word from his palace, or invent an edict Yuan Shao, if he sends troops to rescue, at least he can save his wife and children, and at least he can leave a line of blood for the Gongsun Yi clan. But why is the kind and kind Duke Xuande standing by and watching his former friends and family being punished? Even if the court is dominated by Cao Cao, even if he pleads with Yuan Shao, under the reputation of being unkind and unrighteous, Yuan Shao may not raise his hand when he wins the game completely. Leave a breath of blood for him."

Unkindness and unrighteousness, using Yuan Shao as an example, clearly refers to Liu Bei.

It's not that Zhao Yun didn't see Li Mu's intention of soliciting favors, and he also thought about how he should respond if Li Mu mentioned this matter, but he didn't expect that she would push Liu Bei out without saying a word about Jiang Dong.

Knowing that she deliberately wanted to dissuade him from joining Liu Bei, he knew in his heart that what Li Mu said was true.

Gongsun Zan was indeed very loyal in his early years, but in recent years he has become obsessed with female sex, his fighting spirit has waned, and he has lived up to his former majesty and heroism.He felt the kindness of his knowledge and encounter, and he didn't want to think about his misconduct, saying that he would lose, but Gongsun Zan's defeat was also in his expectation.

It's just that he never thought that Gongsun Zan would have Liu Bei's support when he was away!At a loss for words, Zhao Yun stared at Li Mu with a serious expression.

Li Mu still smiled to himself, without the slightest hint of shame behind his back.Since Zhao Yun was interested in Liu Bei's benevolence, she tore off this layer of skin to let him see clearly.

Does it count as benevolence for the common people to cry a few times?Then she should cry too, and cry for him immediately!

"The public wants Yun to serve Jiangdong?" After a moment of silence, Zhao Yun's back was still straight, but his voice was a little dry and trembling, obviously emotional ups and downs in his heart, and he couldn't decide for a while, but his words were still polite, "Yun Nai The old general under the command of General Baima, today when the capital of Yi was broken, I was more than a thousand miles away from Youzhou, don’t you be afraid that when you are under siege in the future, I will not return at a distance?”

Li Mu stared at him for a long time, and saw that he was serious all the time, without the anger of being discredited by someone he admired in his heart, nor did he show intentional probing intentions, so he couldn't help laughing: "What a Zhao Zilong!"

Zhao Yun was silent.

Li Mu raised his eyebrows: "Has Zilong ever married?"

Unaware of her words, Zhao Yun suddenly jumped from Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan to here, and shook his head intuitively, but then thought that Li Mu was going to use the means of marriage marriage, so his face darkened, and he added: "Yun still has a brother and a filial piety. "

Li Mu didn't care where he was going: "Since there is no marriage, it is impossible to have children."

Zhao Yun's eyes froze, and he vaguely guessed what she was referring to.

"If in the future I was approached by soldiers, and you could fight to the death to protect my first-line bloodline, even if I ran to the horizon, it would be too late for me to thank you. Why should I be afraid?"

Li Mu's voice was clear and bright, with a smile on his face.Originally, she didn't know that Zhao Yun was from Gongsun Zan's former team. She almost thought that Chang Banpo's rescue of Adou had been staged in advance, but now that she knew it, it was not difficult to guess where the baby came from.

Early the next morning, with dark circles under his eyes, Li Mu handed over a volume of Taigong Liutao to the summoner and sent it to Shouchun Zhouyu.

When the messengers were ordered to prepare their horses, they happened to meet Tai Shici who was patrolling the camp. Tai Shici glanced at the scroll of bamboo slips and stopped him: "I have another military report here, and I just sent it together."

The messenger promised, and then went to Tai Shici's military account to get the military report, but he couldn't help wondering why Li Mu and Tai Shici were in the same battalion, and the military report from the same place had to be sent to Zhou Yu in two.

After Tai Shici finished touring the camp, he went to his tent again, and when he went to Li Mu's tent again, he saw Li Mu gnashing his teeth and pacing back and forth in the tent.

"As the general of the three armies, you have to be calm before the landslide. Why are you so anxious?" Putting on the majesty of an elder brother, Tai Shici just said a word, and frowned fiercely when he saw Li Mu's dark circles. "How can a military newspaper be written overnight?"

No wonder it's such a thick roll!

Li Mu was taken aback by his question, and in a flash, he also knew that Tai Shici must have seen the soldier summoned, so he rubbed his eyes, his face turned red.

However, it wasn't all because of this "military newspaper" that she stayed up all night.

However, it is very likely that half of the anxiety and anger are caused by lack of sleep.

As for the other half...

Li Mu pondered for a moment, glanced outside the tent, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, if you don't want to join Sun Bofu that day, will Sun Ce let you go?"

Tai Shici glanced at her: "Zhao Zilong doesn't want to stay?"

Last night Zhao Yun talked for a long time in Li Mu's tent, one came frankly, the other greeted him attentively, neither of them had any intention of avoiding people's eyes, and Li Mu's solicitation and show of favor was so obvious, so he was dismissed by Tai Shici with just one sentence. I heard the clue.

"I just came here this morning to ask for my resignation... I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Liu Bei has given him!" Li Mu pouted outside the army tent and continued to gnash his teeth.

She is here to fight Liu Bei's wits and strength, but she wants to send Zhao Yun there for nothing, no matter how she thinks, she is not reconciled.Rubbing between his brows, "Brother, I want to keep the child he brought. That is Gongsun Zan's only surviving bloodline. After Yi Jing was broken, he was protected by Zhao Yun and escaped. Yuan Shao sent troops all the way to pursue him." kill."

"Do you want to use this child to show your favor?" Tai Shici frowned again, showing a hint of disapproval, "Or if he doesn't come to agree with him, will he use this child as a threat?"

Although he has no friendship with Zhao Yun, he is also an upright military general. He knows that the so-called upright temperament does not mean that he cannot see the mind and tricks of the superior.Li Mu saved Zhao Yun as a show of kindness, but now that he failed to recruit the youngest son of his old master after the show of kindness, no matter what the excuse was, it was hard not to make people feel defensive, and even... agitated the generals The jade broken tiles are all outrageously bloody.

Not to mention Zhao Yun, even if it was Tai Shici, if it wasn't for Li Mu who made the proposal, he would feel unhappy.
