Chapter 76: Are you willing to lead an army alone?
After Cao Cao finished speaking, the leader first bowed his hands towards the city wall, and then rode his horse towards the back of the queue.
Not long after, a familiar figure jumped out of the carriage behind the queue.
"A certain Zhao Yun, please see Mr. Xi!"
On top of the city wall, the moment he saw Zhao Yun appear, Xi Yu's face clearly showed a bit of surprise.
Zhao Yun is here?
Didn't he just put Zhao Yun back into Liu Bei's camp last time?
How could the other party appear outside Juancheng at this time, and there are hundreds of Xiangyong there.
There were about a hundred or ten people riding horses under the city at a glance, and in this situation, these people were obviously headed by Zhao Yun.
Then Zhao Yun opened his mouth to ask for a meeting.
Cao Cao next to him also had a puzzled look on his face. He also remembered that Xi Yu had let the other party go not long ago, so why did the other party come over again at this time?
"Well, Zilong did join me some time ago!"
"Sir, are you being too unfavorable to one?"
Knowing that the other party's brother was seriously ill, Xi Yu naturally did not delay at all.
Knowing Xi Yu's character, everyone in the lobby didn't say anything, and Cao Cao, the leader, was also a little stunned.
Naturally, this situation is somewhat confusing to outsiders.
"My lord, can I choose the soldiers of the transport camp myself?"
Late December, winter solstice!
Xi Yu nodded, the whole Juancheng knew about this matter, and Xi Zhicai's knowledge did not surprise him at all.
After Zhao Yun arrived in Juancheng, he felt a little hot in his heart.
These people were all the Yellow Turban soldiers who had pacified Yanzhou before. After all, they were the soldiers who could survive in this troubled time. They were all extremely brave soldiers.
He also brought with him a group of fellow villagers, which was a great joy!
The two brothers exchanged a few words, and Cao Cao, who was at the head of the group, had already begun to summarize the Battle of Xuzhou.
"Zilonghui!"
Looking at Xi Zhicai on the side, Xi Yu felt a little helpless. After returning from Xuzhou, Xi Zhicai stayed in Juancheng for a few days and then ran away on his own initiative.
Now that it is confirmed to be pneumonia, all we need to do is find a way to extract penicillin.
This treatment made his heart feel warm.
After hearing this, everyone in the hall became somewhat understanding.
In less than two days, Xiyu collected a lot of rotten fruits and vegetables.
Hearing this, Xi Zhi frowned.
After thinking about it, he gave instructions to Zhao Yun, and Xi Yu hurriedly planned to extract penicillin himself.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Now that he is watching his brother's recovery, Zhao Yun naturally joins Xi Yu without hesitation.
Although the supply camp is not a combat unit, who says that the supply camp cannot be fought?
After everyone sat down separately, Xi Yu also sat among them.
"Don't worry, I already know your brother's illness and I have a sense of discretion!"
Xi Yu naturally knew where the other party had gone.
After he finished speaking, Xi Yu looked at Cao Cao again.
As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, all the generals in the Cao camp looked at Xi Yu with envy.
Now that Xi Yu has taken charge of the supply camp, he is not arranged to lead the soldiers. Instead, he is asked to lead the soldiers by Zhao Yun.
Now in the entire Cao Ying, not only the original Yellow Turban soldiers, but also the entire Cao Ying soldiers were extremely convinced of Xi Yu.
But if you think about it carefully, he is probably just a stronger Xu Chu!
…
To be honest, these people can follow Cao Cao now only because of Xi Yu's existence.
Although Zhao Yun was mostly a bodyguard in history books, Zhao Yun was also known as a victorious general.
Liu Bei was actually able to do such a thing, which really surprised him.
After saying something to Zhao Yun, Xi Yu turned to look at Dian Wei: "Awei, help settle the Xiang Yong brought by Brother Zilong!"
Now he is under the command of Cao Cao. Although Xi Yu appears to be the Taicang Order of the Han Dynasty, in fact he is still a counselor under Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao spoke, everyone had no objection to his words.
After glancing at Cao Cao, Xi Yu leaned out from the city wall and shouted to Zhao Yun, then led Dian Wei down the city wall.
Outside the actor's house, in the courtyard at that time, Cao Cao and others were gathered outside the courtyard, and Zhao Yun was also among them.
He is still thinking of finding an opportunity to recruit Zhao Yun!
As for Yu Jin, Li Qian and others are just some of the lieutenants under Cao Cao's account now!
Everyone looked at Xi Yu with envy, but the latter's face turned a little dark.
Immediately, Zhao Yun quickly told the story of his return to Liu Bei's camp, and then said that he had returned to his hometown.
Originally, in history, the opponent also had the experience of leading troops in battle under Liu Bei.
He has already prepared physiological saline and water bags. He only needs to inject a small amount of penicillin into the patient. It is expected that the patient's pneumonia will be relieved.
"Sir, this is the hose and needle you want to make."
Before the New Year's Eve, Cao Cao held the last meeting of the year in the Juancheng Government Office.
Zhao Yun is also a powerful general no less than Dian Wei!
Cao Cao was a little excited. Looking at Zhao Yun's posture, it was obvious that the other party was rushing to join him.
There are only a few days left before the New Year, and even the training in the military camp has relaxed a lot.
After some treatment, he got penicillin that was barely usable.
What is this?
…
It would not be a good thing if someone with intentions takes advantage of it.
After all, the other party has done many shocking things before.
"Zilong, is that your brother in the car?"
It's just a baggage camp, with only 3,000 people in full force.
Everyone was meaningless, so Cao Cao turned his attention to Xi Yu.
"I have told the imperial court a few days ago that everyone, the first merit of this battle should be righteousness!"
Xiyu doesn’t have much explanation.
Being able to lead an army alone is no small matter. This is equivalent to Cao Cao directly delegating power!
"That's all, let's go to the heavy supply camp!"
Cao Cao nodded helplessly. He wanted to let the other party lead troops to fight, but who knew that the other party had already told him about spring plowing.
The current situation made Cao Cao a little helpless and a little envious.
Nowadays, the world is full of open and hidden arrows, and there are very few people who can hurt Xi Yu.
Who doesn't want to be a soldier under a fierce general? They don't care about the supply camp, they just know how to follow Xiyu.
"After Zi Yun returned to Changshan, he learned that his brother was getting more and more critical. Previously, my husband said that he could save brother Yun. Yun did not dare to delay, so he brought Xiang Yong to visit him!"
In the end, Xi Yu successfully selected three thousand Qingzhou soldiers.
After hearing Xi Yu's request, Cao Cao agreed without hesitation.
"My lord, I will still be responsible for spring plowing in the spring after the new year. Since my lord said that I have done a good job in transporting grain, you might as well hand over the heavy supplies to me!"
What's more, Xi Yu's contribution to the subsequent battles between generals was even more obvious.
Brother Zhao Yun's illness seems serious at the moment, but it is not fatal, so it is not a problem to survive for a while.
Xi Yu stretched out his hand to support Zhao Yun, who was bowing to him. Although he was a little surprised, he couldn't help but ask with concern.
Seeing Xi Yu again, Zhao Yun felt quite emotional. He had come all the way, claiming the name of Xi Yu, and there was no obstacle in Yanzhou.
Not to mention the series of events that followed.
At this time, Xi Yu had arrived at the supply camp, and after thinking about it, he still asked Cao Cao.
"If you can't explain it in one or two sentences, just watch it!"
It was nothing more than running to Yingchuan to find Guo Jia and the two of them died drunkenly.
It was actually his brother's illness. He had already taken him to see many doctors, and now he didn't have much else to do.
In the original history, Cao Cao was the only one who was convinced by these Qingzhou soldiers, but when Yanzhou was pacified before, Xi Yu's presence was extremely conspicuous.
After vacating a house, Xi Yu helped Zhao Yun settle his brother down, and after a casual inspection, he understood.
Zhao Yun explained that it was not because Liu Bei was suspicious, but Liu, Guan, and Zhang were three brothers after all. If they did some things alone, they should carry them together.
After some processing, Xi Yu successfully injected penicillin into the patient's body.
Compared to when I returned to Xiapi and was shouted at by Zhang Fei.
Xi Yu and Dian Wei had just left the military camp when Dian Wei beside him couldn't help but shout.
"What does Fengyi do with these rotten fruits and vegetables?"
When riding alone to rescue Cao Cao, some Qingzhou soldiers remembered Xi Yu's figure.
Zhao Yun's brother has indeed contracted pneumonia, and his current situation seems to be extremely serious.
It’s not very difficult. You just need to find rotten fruits and vegetables and process them to get penicillin.
Within the government office.
"Zilong, wait a minute, I'm coming!"
And this matter is indeed extremely important.
What leads the way?
He said that he was just a counselor!
Upon hearing Xi Yu's question, Zhao Yun nodded quickly and then looked quite grateful.
It's okay to let Xiyu choose.
When Xi Yu was collecting rotten things throughout Juancheng, Cao Cao naturally got wind of it, and many of them were obtained with his help.
Xi Yu is not the kind of person who sticks to rules. Since he is now in charge of the supply camp, he does not want to have a group of old, weak, sick and disabled subordinates under him.
After the discussion was over, everyone was in a good mood.
He was very clear about Zhao Yun's strength. He was a strong general who was not weaker than Dian Wei, and was even much stronger than the generals under him.
Zhao Yun didn't say anything about surrendering, but Xi Yu didn't ask any questions.
"Yun, I've seen you sir!"
After the meeting, Xi Yu immediately went to the camp to select soldiers.
It's not a bad thing for Zhao Yun to join Xi Yu, but some things still need to be measured.
There is a world of difference between the two.
The whole process went very smoothly. I heard that Mr. Xi came to select the soldiers, and the soldiers in Cao's camp were very enthusiastic.
"Sir, can these things really save my brother?"
Hearing this, Xi Yu nodded immediately.
However, Xi Zhicai is not worried about this kind of thing.
Cao Cao was naturally very curious as to what Xi Yu was doing.
"Awei, can you train soldiers?"
Of course, if Dian Wei had not died, no one knows how it would be recorded in subsequent history books.
Cao Cao was minding his own business and came to watch with his men, but Xi Yu ignored him.
Not long after, Xi Yu led Zhao Yun and his party into the Juancheng gate.
Who would have thought that before he could take action, Zhao Yun would take the initiative to surrender to Xi Yu.
Since his brothers don't care, he naturally feels very at ease.
"It's not bad for me to lead troops to kill the enemy!" Dian Wei curled his lips.
"Yun thanked you for your kindness in saving your brother, but I cannot repay this kindness. In the future, Yun Yuan will lead your horse and ride on it for you!"
In the final analysis, it is just a matter of summarizing the rewards for the Battle of Xuzhou years ago.
"Fengyi, you..."
However, since Xi Yu can give in, it can be considered a good thing.
Of course, Zhao Yun and the hundred warriors he brought with him were also assigned to the supply camp by Xi Yu, and Cao Cao had no objection to this.
Xi Yu laughed. The reason why he arranged for Zhao Yun and not Dian Wei was mainly because the two were not the same type of generals.
"Lord, I forgive Yu for not being able to accept it!"
In this era, there is no such thing as chemical synthesis. If you want to extract usable penicillin, you can only use local methods.
There were quite a few moldy fruits and vegetables. After carefully selecting them, Xi Yu selected the ones that contained penicillin.
"I heard that Zhao Yun surrendered to you?" Xi Zhicai asked lightly.
Because of Yanzhou's new policies, spring plowing and a series of benefits that benefited the people, Xiyu's influence in Yanzhou was stronger than Cao Cao's.
After everyone separated, Xi Yu quickly took Zhao Yun and his brother back to the Xi family's residence.
Although it was winter, it was not difficult for Xi Yu to collect things throughout Juancheng with great fanfare.
This move immediately made Cao Cao present a little dumbfounded.
After hearing Zhao Yun's story, Cao Cao next to him was also a little emotional. A strong general like Zhao Yun was suspected after returning.
Of course, the imperial reward has not yet been issued, and Cao Cao can't promise any official position on the surface, but the reward he deserves is no less.
What’s so good about the baggage camp?
It has no other use than transporting food, grass, ordnance. Xi Yu made it clear that he didn't want to be a military commander.
Except for Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan who can temporarily lead the army, the rest of the Cao family are still waiting in line!
Since Xi Yu wants to support the camp, then give it to the other party!
After Xi Yu's matter was resolved, Cao Cao then began to reward Cao Ren.
Over the past few days, Zhao Yun was a little confused by Xi Yu's actions, and naturally Cao Cao and others were also confused.
Even for the generals of the Cao family, it is not that easy for them to lead an army alone.
He would not repay a favor. Since he had promised Zhao Yun before that he could come to him, and now that the other party came to him, he would naturally not refuse.
However, seeing Zhao Yun appear at this moment, Xi Yu was in a good mood.
After receiving the simple needles and hoses prepared by Ma San and others, for Xi Yu, all the preparations were almost done.
"No!" Dian Wei responded casually.
Although Zhao Yun was a little confused, Xi Yu had already promised, and he trusted him very much.
In his opinion, he wanted to follow Xi Yu earlier than Zhao Yun!
Before looking for Xi Yu, Zhao Yun discussed it with his brother.
"Zilong, didn't you just return to camp last time? What is this now?"
Xi Yu knew that penicillin was like a miracle drug for this era.
When the grain road was destroyed, if Xi Yu had not personally improved the transport vehicles and transported grain and grass to the front line, the entire Xuzhou battle would not have gone so smoothly.
"Take your brother to my house!"
This fact really made Dian Wei a little bit annoyed, and Dian Wei's temperament was such that he would speak out directly if he had something to say.
Immediately afterwards, he bowed down to Xi Yu in front of everyone.
Upon hearing this, Xi Yu turned his head and glanced at the other party.
Regardless of whether Xi Yu can save his brother, Zhao Yun plans to join Xi Yu.
Xi Zhicai looked unconcerned, and then he looked at Xi Yu again as if he thought of something.
"Sir, it's a long story!"
"Oh, my soldiers and horses under Cao Ying are allowed to be selected by Fengyi to join the camp, and no one can hinder them!"
The experience with Liu Bei really chilled Zhao Yun, and after his brother heard Zhao Yun's thoughts, he also strongly agreed with Zhao Yun's choice.
Seeing the worried look on Zhao Yun's face, Xi Yu reached out and gently patted Zhao Yun's shoulder.
"That's right!"
With the effect of penicillin, the patient's face, which was still coughing from time to time, has significantly softened.
Today, the entire Qingzhou soldiers are far more convinced of Xi Yu than Cao Cao.
"Have a few days of rest. Nothing major happened recently, right?"
After figuring it out, Xiyu asked people to collect rotten fruits and vegetables.
Now that Zhao Yun had just surrendered to Xi Yu, Cao Cao thought of Xi Yu's bravery on the battlefield, and the urge to let Xi Yu lead an army arose in his heart.
Although the technology of the times is somewhat backward, with a large amount of manpower, many things can be supplemented.
"Following your righteousness and relying on your bravery, are you willing to lead an army on your own?"
After selecting the soldiers, Xi Yu handed them over to Zhao Yun and did not stay any longer.
Xi Yu handed over his hand and refused sternly. Then he seemed to feel that the refusal was too direct, so he continued to speak.
As for Dian Wei, although he was brave, he was really just a bodyguard-type military commander.
The latter nodded: "Let's go ahead, I'm planning to take Meng Zhuo back!"
"Brother, are you willing to come back?"
Because of this news, the Xiahou brothers and Cao Ren, who were originally stationed in Xuzhou, all left their things to their subordinates and returned to Yanzhou alone.
However, since the other party surrendered to Xi Yu, Cao Cao had no choice.
Xi Yu listened carefully and glanced at the carriage behind Zhao Yun.
Xi Yu retreated to the next best thing. He did not say that he wanted to lead an army alone, but continued the spring plowing and asked for the supply camp alone.
"I never thought that Liu Xuande would be so unwise!"
"If it hadn't been for my husband's words earlier, Yun would have almost lost his brother!"
Just like that, Boss Cao also folded the other party in Wancheng.
Xiyu sighed: "Zilong has just taken action, and his brother's condition has improved in recent days. You and I can see that Zilong is eager to repay his kindness."
"This arrangement for him to train his soldiers can be considered as a way to calm his mind. Why are you jealous?"
"If we really have a chance to fight, can I forget you?"
He looked at Dian Wei helplessly, and Xi Yu explained to him angrily.
After hearing this, Dian Wei seemed to understand.
