Chapter 123 Zhao Xingchu meets Zhang Junyi
Just when Zhao Yun was scolding Yuan Shu under Guangping City, Zhao Xing, who was rushing in the dark the night before, was guided by Tian Feng, had already approached the south bank of Yishui along the foothills of Taihang Mountains, heading north to the south. As long as you pass Yishui and walk north for half a day, you will be able to reach Zhao State.
"Mr. Yuanhao, have you ever had a letter to your old friend Ju Shu?" Zhao Xing rushes to chat with Tian Feng while chatting.
"I wrote several letters a few times before. Brother Gongyu was very surprised by your actions in Shangdang. At that time, I only thought you were a brave warrior and knew nothing about how to manage political affairs. I never thought that there were so many ways!" Tian Feng said with a smile.
"Have Mr. Yuanhao invited him to Shangdang to become an official?" Zhao Xing still missed Ju Su.
"The letter mentioned it, but he politely refused, saying that he would defect to Yuan Benchu, the Yuan family of the Yuan family, who were the three generations of the four generations," said Tian Feng.
"Mr. Gongyou is a great talent, it's a pity that I don't use it for me!" Zhao Xing sighed helplessly, but what he thought to himself was: "This short-lived Jushu, I'm so worried that you can't come. I have to rush to join Yuan Shao to die. I can't even stop him!"
The two were talking about the customs and customs of Jizhou, and suddenly they looked forward and turned back to report that there were hundreds of county soldiers blocking their way ahead.
"Our marching is so hidden, how can anyone else expect to set up an ambush on the shore of Yishui?" Tian Feng said in confusion.
"I'm also curious who is so well versed in military use that he can actually calculate my passing here. I'm going to go up and ask for advice this time!" Zhao Xing said passionately.
"Everyone obeys the order, change horses and prepare bows, and prepare to fight with me!" Zhao Xing ordered more than 200 light cavalry beside him.
The team walked forward for three miles and could vaguely hear the sound of the Yishui River. However, they saw that less than half a mile away from the river beach, about 500 county soldiers were setting up formations, waiting for the arrival of Zhao Xing and his group in a fierce manner.
"I am General Zhao Xing, Pingdong. Who is blocking the road ahead? What are you doing?!" Zhao Xing jumped on his horse and whipped to the river bank of the river, a place with an arrow from the county soldiers, and shouted in front.
"Zhang He, the commander of Guangping County, met with the general!" The generals of the leaders held their fists and saluted Zhao Xing from afar, "Mr. Yuan, the county magistrate, told me to wait for the general here for a long time. He also asked the general to turn his horse and go to Guangping to talk to Yuan's prefect!" Although Zhang He was kind enough, he had no intention of giving way.
When Zhao Xing heard the young general opposite called himself Zhang He, he was even more depressed because Ju Su refused to serve him. This time he went to Ju Lu, Zhao Xing was still thinking about how to recruit Zhang He, a tiger general, but he did not expect that he was the Yuan family to take the lead. What Zhao Xing didn't know was that since before Jiguan, the young hero Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's amazing performance had greatly stimulated the Yuan family. In the past six months, the Yuan family has sent people to search for talents everywhere and has gained a lot. Zhang He is a powerful general who Yuan Wei values very much to fight against Zhao Xing!
"I'm afraid it wasn't the stupid man Yuan Shu who gave you!" Zhao Xing did not give Yuan Shu any face in front of Zhang He. "I wonder how Zhang Duwei calculated that Zhao must pass by here?"
Since both sides have not yet broken up, Zhang He was happy to chat with Zhao Xing. Looking at the young general who was whipping angry horses in front of him, Zhang He felt very complicated. Although he has defected to the Yuan family and has been entrusted with important tasks by the Yuan family, he spent money to buy him the position of county commander, but the young general who rose rapidly like a meteor in front of him was not an ordinary person. Although he was young and several years younger than him, in terms of literary and martial arts, he was definitely a figure like Huo Piaoyao who was rare in a century.
From the beginning, after learning that Yuan Shu was preparing to plot against Zhao Xing in Guangping, Zhang He was a little unwilling and reluctant. Not to mention that although Zhao Xing has been removed from the General Pingbei, the title of General Pingdong awarded by the court is still better than the former in terms of honor. After Zhao Xing was commanded by Shangdang, the news that the Xianbei people were killed was spread to Guangping. At first, Zhang He and Yuan Shu were also disbelief, but after he went to visit the human head landscape in person, he believed it from then on.
From Zhang He's military mind that was far better than Yuan Shu, he directly concluded that Zhao Xing would never easily hand over the military power of the Crouching Tiger Army, and would not foolishly drill into Yuan Shu's already not very clever encirclement, so Zhang He thought of setting up an ambush in Yishui. However, there was another conclusion that Zhang He came to, that is, he could not easily get along with Zhao Xing. If one of them was not good, he would probably end up with Zhang Yang and Yuan Yi. Zhao Xing's sworn brothers were all like wolves and tigers, and none of them were fuel-efficient lamps. If Zhao Xing was angry, the brothers could really bring the army to Guangping to avenge him.
"I heard that the general was proficient in military tactics and strategies, and was good at dividing troops from multiple routes. Therefore, He also divided troops from many places, but just waited for the general to come like a rabbit. There was no cleverness." Zhang He explained to Zhao Xing politely.
"The Ming people don't tell secret words, Zhang Duwei, you should know that I have always been incompatible with Yuan Shu, and the Yuan family has repeatedly plotted against me! The Xianbei people went south to rob me around New Year's Eve, and maybe there were Han people in the court who informed the outside world, or even tampered with it. Otherwise, why could the Xianbei people go straight to Shangdang? If it were the case with Yuyi, would you go to Guangping?" Zhao Xing said to Zhang He calmly, and he was unwilling to force Zhang He into the corner.
When Zhang He heard Zhao Xing say his words, he was shocked. He thought that Zhao Xing was also prepared and touched his background. "If I had been in a position with the general, I would not have taken any risk!" Zhang He told the answer that everyone knew truthfully.
"With the five hundred elite soldiers led by Yenyi, are you sure to keep the two hundred light cavalry under my command?" Zhao Xing asked again.
"I haven't fought, the outcome is unpredictable!" Zhang He replied arrogantly.
"Hahaha, Zhang Duwei is quick to speak, but he is a cheerful person. It's better to fight for you and me. If I lose, I will go to Guangping with you, so that I can avoid the loss of brothers and sisters and the loss of the enemy!" Zhao Xing proposed a solution to Zhang He, which is to fight to determine the winner, rather than to fight to death with both sides.
"General's proposal is very good. He dares not follow me!" Zhang He was very pertinent when he heard Zhao Xing's opinion. He did not break up and found a way for both sides to give in, so he agreed readily.
"Okay, Zhang Duwei's great man, Xing admires him. Today I will give you a good horse in Xihe. Let me fight!" Before Zhao Xing was about to cross the river, he left some thoughts for Zhang He in the future and also some eye drops for Yuan Shu.
"Thank you, General, for giving the horse!" Zhang He was overjoyed when he heard that Zhao Xing was going to give him a good horse and took it openly. In that era, a good horse was no less attractive to a military general than that of a beautiful Diao Chan!
Zhang He and Zhao Xing, who had changed their horses, came to an open river beach. The soldiers on both sides knew that they didn't have to fight each other and consciously formed two circles and cheered for their leaders.
Zhao Xing has not shown his martial arts in front of others for a long time, which made many soldiers who later joined the Crouching Tiger Army feel that the general is an embroidered pillow. When he saw Zhao Xing pick up the "Overb Gun" today, the soldiers knew what shock was!
On weekdays, Zhao Xing rarely shows his power, but looking at Zhao Xing at this time, both sides felt a murderous aura and solemnity coming to his face. At this moment, Yang Zhijun, who had fought bloody battles in the rain of bullets in his previous life, completely awakened Zhao Xing. His unyielding, resolute and decisive expression directly made Zhang He on the opposite side feel threats and dangers.
"Master Zhang, see what he wants!" Zhao Xing grabbed the horse's belly, picked up the spear in his hand, and rushed towards Zhang He.
"Hi!" When Zhao Xing approached Zhang He and arrived at a five-meter-long land, his spear suddenly burst out and pointed directly at Zhang He's face. Over the past year, Zhao Xing has been practicing the overlord gun technique and riding skills of the Zhao Yun church, and his martial arts have been greatly improved to the ranks of first-class generals. Even if he fights against Zhao Yun on the ring, Zhao Yun and other hundreds of moves will find it difficult to win easily.
Zhao Xing still has a rough judgment on Zhang He's martial arts and ability. If we use the standard "five-circle parameters" set by fans of the Three Kingdoms game, Zhang He, who is in his prime, has a martial arts parameter of more than 93 points. It is estimated that Zhang Liao is not necessarily an opponent at the moment. Therefore, Zhao Xing used all his strength as soon as he came up and did not dare to take it lightly.
Seeing Zhao Xing attacking with his gun with a rush, Zhang He quickly raised the spear in his hand to seal Zhao Xing's spear. Seeing that the tip of the spear had already pushed away Zhao Xing's spear, the tip of Zhao Xing's spear suddenly surged forward by seven points, and the tip of the spear with a cold light barely resisted Zhang He's throat!
"He is not good at martial arts. I lose this time. Please cross the river!" Zhang He said quickly. This is not the time to pretend to be cool. If Zhao Xing gets angry, he will give him another point. Today he will be told to the Yishui River.
"Haha, Cheng Duwei Zhang wants to let him go, Xingcai won by chance!" Zhao Xing took back his spear, "I met Ye Yi today and felt that I would like to meet too late. I hope that when I meet again, you and I will not be on the battlefield!"
"Thank you for your praise from General, He is unwilling to be an enemy of General!" Zhang He also said sincerely.
"Okay, today I will leave. The mountains are high and the rivers are strong. Take care of the Duwei Zhang!" After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he led the cavalry to cross from the shallow water.
"Today's battle in front of the battle, my martial arts are hard to match General Pingdong. You all do your best. Now we will withdraw our troops and return to Guangping!" Zhang He said to his subordinates, taking the responsibility of letting Zhao Xing go on himself.
What kind of mechanism is the Overlord Gun designed by Zhao Xing for himself? Hehe, keep it confidential for the time being. This is the exclusive weapon of Yin people on Zhao Xing’s battlefield in the future!
