Chapter 72 Xi Yu: I am just a scribe
After Xi Yu defeated Guan and Zhang, Cao Cao immediately ordered people to respond.
At this moment, Guan and Zhang, who were watching Xi Yu bring Zhao Yun back to Cao's camp, had no choice but to return towards their own military formation.
"Hahaha, I'm paying back my righteousness!"
Looking at Zhao Yun, Cao Cao didn't take it to heart. He opened his mouth and praised Xi Yu, and then couldn't help laughing.
Xi Yu's expression didn't change much. He glanced towards the center.
After Guan and Zhang retreated, Dian Wei naturally followed suit and rode back.
When Dian Wei arrived, Xi Yu handed Zhao Yun over to Dian Wei: "A Wei, take him with you and let's go!"
At this moment, he didn't want to pay attention to Cao Cao.
The rest is Cao Cao's own business.
Upon hearing Dian Wei's invitation to fight, Zhao Yun glanced at Xi Yu subconsciously.
With a strong man like Xi Yu here, his self-confidence was already a little shaky.
When the princes gathered to make an alliance, Guan Yu warmed wine and killed Hua Xiong and became famous in one battle. Then Liu Bei and his three brothers defeated Lu Bu and became famous.
Zhang Yang was a little surprised, and then a little confused: "Then what does Cao Mengde mean by this move?"
As for Xi Yu himself, he didn't take such a reputation seriously at all.
Now that Zhao Yun was finally here, he suddenly felt a little itchy.
The Battle of Xuzhou completely spread Xi Yu's reputation.
Cao Cao smiled and shouted, and the sound was a bit harsh in Liu Bei's ears.
At the same time, the situation of this battle began to spread to the ears of all the princes like wind.
"General, you..."
The person in front of him is Lu Bu after all, and he is qualified to say such things.
Xi Yu nodded, and when he was about to have another round, Dian Wei from the side came over.
Dian Wei saw Zhao Yun's embarrassment and explained casually.
Watching Zhao Yun get up and start competing with Dian Wei on the school field.
Cao Bao beside him didn't say much, just sighed.
It’s just that a reputation that doesn’t live up to its reality is not a good reputation!
"What do you think of Wen Hou?"
If it continues to be delayed, it will not be a problem, but due to Cao Jun's policy in Xuzhou, the cost of food and grass for the army will be huge after all.
I originally thought that with my second brother and third disciple Long at my side, I would be sure that I would be able to win the battle.
In Dianwei's view, his husband is not a human being!
Zhao Yun has never been so crazy in his heart.
He didn't expect that it would turn out like this. Subconsciously, he looked at Liu Bei, who seemed to notice his look.
As the owner of this place, Zhang Yang subconsciously asked.
What is the significance of promoting a scribe as a powerful general who defeated Guan and Zhang?
Just for fame?
Then he took a deep breath and rode out again.
Zhao Yun shook his head: "Yun has become a prisoner. Sir, he treats Yun so politely. It's not out of discomfort!"
On the other side, Yuan Shu, who was in Huainan, didn't pay much attention to such news.
However, he doesn't care, because no matter how strong these people are, they are not as strong as him!
After the previous battle, due to his physical condition, his strength seemed to have broken through a little bit more. At this time, Xi Yu no longer knew how strong he was.
He has seen the opponent's farming strategies and some of their policy theories.
He is very boring by himself.
More importantly, the New Year is approaching, and the morale of the soldiers is no longer what it used to be.
The man in front of him made him a little angry. He could capture his own people casually and said that he was just a counselor.
However, the current news is still a bit surprising.
The aristocratic families in Xuzhou had united at this time, although Liu Bei did not appear in front of Cao Jun.
This is simply appalling.
"If that's the case, I'm going to look down upon you!"
Moreover, when he faced off against Lu Bu, he had to fight the opponent for dozens of rounds before his weapon was knocked out.
Cao Bao's face next to him turned a little dark.
The fight between the two became more and more intense, and their fighting spirit became more and more intense.
And practicing martial arts takes a long time, so how can it be so easy to do both.
Cao Cao responded casually.
"However, that Xiyu seems to be a scribe!"
He's just a young general in white robes.
He has Yan Liang, Wen Chou, but he is not much worse than Guan and Zhang.
"That boy Cao Cao, isn't he just spreading fake news?"
Having his weapon knocked away by a single blow was something that happened when he faced Lu Bu.
Cao Bao didn't have any objections, and Tian Kai on the other side naturally didn't have any objections either. He was originally there to help.
What kind of drama?
It's simply a joke.
"Is Zilong feeling unwell?"
In the previous battle between generals, Dian Wei fought against Guan Yu and it was a hearty battle. However, because they were fighting right away, he was still at a disadvantage to some extent.
If not for the wrong timing, they would still have launched an attack on Yanzhou.
Sun Ce has always been a little dissatisfied with this point.
In later generations, there has been endless debate about the ranking of the generals of this era.
At this moment, he seemed to be being treated as a hostage. As a prisoner, he was quite self-conscious.
He also didn't expect that the rumored Xi Yu would be as brave as Lu Bu. This situation was really terrifying.
"General, we have to withdraw our troops first!"
However, in Chen Gong's impression, Xiyu was a gentle scholar and what a fierce general he was.
"Isn't Xiyu a scribe?"
But, if Xiyu is really as rumored!
Gentian's bright silver spear danced in the field airtightly, suppressing Dian Wei in an instant.
The two were fighting each other, and in just a moment, the fighting spirit between them began to burst out.
Half of Xuzhou is now occupied by Cao Cao.
Zhao Yun's military force is no worse than Guan Zhang. It doesn't matter if he loses to Cao Cao now, but if he loses Zhao Yun, it will make him heartbroken.
The soldiers within the entire military formation were even more motivated because of Xi Yu's heroic performance before.
Xi Yu is also a little curious about who is stronger.
Talent is not something that can be gathered casually in just one or two sentences.
Even the generals were captured, so this battle was a failure.
Is he really just a scribe?
He believed him even if he was said to be another Lu Bu.
"Mengde, you won, but can you let General Zhao go?"
Sensing someone coming in, Xi Yu turned around and glanced at the person.
Lu Bu regarded it as a joke, but Zhang Yang and others beside him didn't say anything.
After returning to the military formation, Guan Yu opened his mouth, not knowing how to speak.
Seeing that Zhao Yun didn't speak, Xi Yu understood in his heart.
At that time, his force was far less powerful than it is now.
"Zilong, don't call me a general, I'm just a scribe!"
At this time, Chen Gong was visiting Zhangyang's mansion in Hanoi, and Lu Bu was also invited.
Yuan Shao didn't believe it, but then he shook his head and glanced at Yan Liangwen Chou beside him.
"Brother, Zilong!"
Although his strength is not weak, Zhao Yun is not much different.
And at this moment, a figure suddenly came in from outside the hospital.
Zhao Yun looked at Xi Yu who had completely changed his appearance in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh and spoke first.
Chen Gong smiled: "Xi Yu is from Yingchuan, and his brother is a loyal Xi Zhicai. They both joined Cao Cao not long ago."
The two halberds in Dian Wei's hands were opened and closed, but they were far less delicate than Zhao Yun's marksmanship.
It doesn't matter if you can be both civil and military, but there is a certain limit to being both civil and military.
Such a person must tell the Lord.
Zhao Yun danced with gentian and flashed a silver spear, and soon he was fighting with Dian Wei.
Currently being dragged by Cao Cao, he cannot return to Yanzhou for the time being. Dian Wei, this guy, can only practice martial arts.
Such news is somewhat surprising.
After just a moment, Zhao Yun sighed as he looked at the defeated chess pieces on the chessboard.
However, Xiyu is not in a hurry.
What do you mean, you are just a counselor.
Xuzhou, inside Dongping City.
Hearing this, the corners of Zhao Yun's mouth twitched, and Dian Wei beside him was urging him.
Most of the entire Xuzhou is controlled by these aristocratic families, and now these people and Tao Qian have completely come together.
But now, just that light blow made Zhang Fei feel a little dazed.
In his opinion, it was Cao Cao who used this as a bluff.
At this moment, in the courtyard of the temporary residence, Xi Yu and Zhao Yun were sitting across from each other, with a chessboard in front of them.
"Yan Liang, what do you think of Xi Yu?"
Liu Bei planned to ask Cao Cao to put Zhao Yun back, who was a talent he had finally gathered under his command.
"I will make it clear to the envoy of my mistake this time!"
When the news from Xuzhou was passed, everyone subconsciously glanced at Lu Bu.
Upon hearing this, Xi Yu raised his head and looked at the other party.
When the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, he missed Lu Bu, and he didn't have many fights with Guan and Zhang.
He didn't care about Xuzhou's victory or defeat.
This matter must be informed to the envoy as soon as possible.
"Mr. Xi, how do you plan to deal with Zhao this time?"
Inside Yuan Shao's Mansion.
As Liu Bei withdrew his troops, the entire Tancheng was instantly emptied in front of Cao Jun.
Defeated!
No!
As Lu Bu said, it is rare to find someone like Lu Bu in this world. How can there be another one?
However, what does it mean for the opponent to pull me to play chess now?
As soon as Zhao Yun spoke, Xi Yu smiled helplessly at Zhao Yun.
Whether it was Yan Liang, Wen Chou, or all the counselors under Yuan Shao's account, they all just smiled at this news.
"Xuande, you are defeated!"
Xi Yu raised the chess piece in his hand and placed it on the chessboard.
He could more or less guess that Xi Yu's purpose in treating him like this was just to get him to defect to Cao Ying!
However, in the past days, Liu Bei had always treated him well.
Seeing that Xi Yu had no intention of answering him, Zhao Yun was not in a hurry.
Wen Chou beside him also nodded in agreement.
However, Dian Wei got a good beating.
"Is Zilong over there wanting to return to Liu Xuande's command?"
Lu Bu had fought against Guan and Zhang. Although these two men were inferior to him, they were still people he could recognize.
In short, even if the rumored Lu Bu is in front of him, he will not take him seriously.
He had made up his mind. Since he was a prisoner now, he would just do what a prisoner should do.
After calming down, Zhao Yun asked again.
As a temporary garrison town, Xi Yu originally planned to take Dian Wei back when he finished transporting grain and grass.
The one who could easily defeat Guan Zhang was Lu Bu back then.
The person coming is none other than Cao Cao. Cao Cao’s army now controls most of Xuzhou, so he is not in a hurry to lead the army to continue the attack!
What's more important is that although he currently controls most of Xuzhou, it will be difficult to annex the remaining towns in one fell swoop.
Could it be because I beat the opponent so hard that he lost his confidence?
Liu Bei was a little helpless. The promise had been made and he could only keep it at this time.
"My lord, I am just a mere scribe. This time he is famous all over the world, but it is just a joke!"
"Xi Yu, the one who was awarded the Taicang Order by the Emperor?"
What's more, this news sounds a bit fantasy after all.
After hearing this, Zhao Yun's face became a little better.
He was still nostalgic for his old friendship, and had already thought of recognizing Liu Bei as his master.
However, I heard my father once said during his lifetime that Guan and Zhang were both fierce generals.
This was said with a smile, but as soon as Xi Yu finished speaking, Zhao Yun's face turned red and his eyes stared straight at Xi Yu.
Zhao Yun didn't speak, he already admitted in his heart.
Zhang Yang smiled at Lu Bu, and when he heard the sound, Lu Bu picked up the wine cup and took a sip into his mouth.
Xi Yu was happy to watch the battle from the side.
"Xiyu, interesting!"
On the school field.
Liu Bei was a little confused, but at this moment, Cao Jun had already led his army to suppress him.
After a while, Liu Bei finally came to his senses.
But these aristocratic families have become the biggest trouble in front of him.
Seeing Zhao Yun hesitate, Xi Yu finally realized that he seemed to have never seen Zhao Yun practicing martial arts in the past few days.
Cao Jun has been delayed this time.
And the other side.
Xi Yu was watching from the side and had a clear look at Zhao Yun's marksmanship, nodding along from time to time.
"Has Zilong lost confidence?"
He didn't believe it at first, but after seeing his second and third brothers being repelled, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
At that time, Liu Bei took the responsibility for his battle with generals, so Tao Qian had no choice but to let Liu Bei garrison Xiapi.
After hearing this, Liu Bei took a look at Cao Cao and saw that he didn't seem to be cheating, so he was not in a hurry.
At this moment, Chen Gong glanced at Lu Bu.
However, Sun Ce, who was temporarily living under Yuan Shu's command, was quite interested in such news.
In their view, a scribe is a scribe, and a warrior is a completely different concept.
However, through some strange combination of circumstances, Zhao Yun was finally brought back after participating in a battle between generals.
However, more people regard it as a joke.
There was no way he could switch to someone else this time.
"Sir, I lost!"
What's more, he is still a fierce general who defeated Guan and Zhang.
However, what he didn't expect was that Xiyu would be so powerful.
But now, a drama suddenly appeared.
Now it is said that the other party has defeated powerful generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Guan and Zhang are both peerless warriors. If you want to defeat them, you have to be someone like Lu Bu. How can a scribe do it?
The strategy he had in mind to capture Yanzhou must be Lu Bu.
"good!"
"Hey, boy Zhao, let me tell you, my husband doesn't like others to call him general, just call him sir!"
With a character like Zhao Yun, it would be unrealistic if he could make the other party turn around and support him with just two or three sentences.
Of course, there was Xi Yu nearby, but Dian Wei didn't want to fight with Xi Yu at all.
"Zhao, do you want to fight with me?"
Hearing this, Lu Bu, who was holding a wine cup next to him, also listened attentively.
After nodding, Liu Bei began to order the entire army to withdraw.
Such a talent cannot be achieved without thorough reading of the scriptures.
When Liu Bei said this, Cao Cao didn't have any objections.
At this time, Liu Bei was a little confused!
what's the situation?
Zilong was actually defeated, and was captured so easily.
"Fengyi is leisurely!"
Cao Cao didn't care about Xi Yu's attitude of leaving on his own initiative. He was in a good mood at this moment.
Jizhou, Yecheng.
Chen Gong, who lives in Chenliu, has naturally seen Xi Yu.
Yanzhou, Chenliu!
The news of Cao Cao's successive victories in Xuzhou made Chen Gong and Zhang Miao unable to sit still for a long time.
But now, a man suddenly appeared and defeated Guan and Zhang. Sun Ce naturally noticed this news.
This sounds really weird.
What's more, that Xiyu is indeed a counselor.
The only person in the world who can easily defeat these two men is Lu Bu.
Mid November.
Chen Gong once took a look at Xi Yu from a distance. When Xi Yu implemented the strategy of farming, he traveled throughout Yanzhou.
However, Tian Kai had to take it to heart that Xi Yu was so powerful.
Who do you think you are as a client?
Unfashionable soldier?
"Xuande said that young man in white robe? He was taken back by Fengyi just now. I can't hand him over to you at this moment!"
Zhang Fei beside him seemed a little frustrated.
After the battle between Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Tancheng ended, Cao's army fell to several cities in Xuzhou in just seven days.
Even if someone had both, they would not be able to use force as well as Lu Bu.
…
"Zilong, please live in peace, there are some things that we will discuss later!"
"Gongtai, who is this Xiyu? Is he really who Cao Cao said?"
"Scribe?"
Yuan Shao was a little surprised. The news came back to him and told him that Xi Yu defeated the Liu Bei brothers on his own, and Guan and Zhang were no match for him.
Everyone in the world has some idea of ​​the martial prowess of Guan and Zhang.
…
"It's just a joke!"
Yuan Shao was a little surprised. According to what he had heard before, Xi Yu was obviously just a counselor under Cao Cao's account.
Dian Wei wanted to defeat Zhao Yun by breaking through the ten with one force like Xi Yu, but he couldn't do it.
Liu Bei, who calmed down again, glanced at Cao Cao in the distance.
This delay is somewhat detrimental to the development of Yanzhou.
Now occupying half of Xuzhou, it is already an excellent situation for Cao Jun.
Continuing will not be of much benefit to Cao Cao.
On the contrary, due to policy reasons, it may even bring down Cao's army.
Cao Cao knew full well that Xi Yu's previous analysis was indeed correct, but if he just gave up like this, he would be somewhat unwilling to do so.
