Chapter 606 Changshan Zhao Zilong
Although his clothes and armor were shabby, he didn't take it seriously at all, exuding a confident temperament. Especially when surrounded by more than a hundred riders, it was like stars holding the moon, and his extraordinary temperament was revealed.
"Hey, that's it?" A knight in black armor next to him frowned when he saw the black smoke rising into the sky from a distance.
"It seems like a village was burned down?"
Zhao Yun frowned.
It turns out that this brave general with thick eyebrows, white horse and silver spear is Zhao Yun who defected to Gongsun Zan. After Gongsun Zan's defeat in Yijing, the Youzhou army fled in all directions. Zhao Yun did not want to defect to Yuan Shao, so he stayed in Youzhou and gathered the remaining defeated soldiers to prepare for the fight against Yuan Shao. .
The black armor knight who just spoke was Gongsun Zan's son Gongsun Xu. After Gongsun Zan's defeat, Yuan Shao dispatched troops to capture Gongsun Xu. He was afraid that the Gongsun family would reappear in Youzhou. When he saw that Gongsun Xu was about to be captured, thanks to Zhao Yunzong The horses rushed out and drove back Yuan's army.
Zhao Yun frowned: "If there is any situation, come with me!"
The white dragon pony under his crotch hissed and galloped out, galloping across the wilderness like a white lightning, throwing away the hundreds of cavalry behind him. Gongsun Xu hurriedly gave an order, held the reins, and led more than a hundred riders to follow Zhao Yun closely, galloping forward.
The little white dragon horse under Zhao Yun's crotch was very powerful, so he left the team far away and was the first to reach the burning place. His expression suddenly changed.
There were blazing flames on more than a dozen houses, and not far away were the piles of corpses of villagers. The scene in front of them seemed like purgatory on earth.
"Damn it! Was it a rogue bandit or a barbarian?" Although Zhao Yun was furious, he still remained calm, thinking about who was responsible for the tragedy in front of him.
Not long after, Gongsun Xu led more than a hundred riders and caught up. Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but change his expression. They are all battle-hardened warriors in Gongsun's army. Scenes of fighting and bloodshed on the battlefield have long been commonplace. However, when the officers and soldiers bully the people, the most they can do is to demand food and grass. As for killing people and filling the fields and burning houses, that is not what the officers and soldiers can do. of.
"Bo Yan, lead the people to put out the fire." Zhao Yun turned around and ordered: "Come a few people and follow me to the corpses to see if there are anyone alive."
"promise!"
The more than a hundred cavalrymen had a clear division of labor. Gongsun Xu led most of them to put out the fire, while Zhao Yun and a few others jumped off their horses and rushed to the corpse.
These people have been dead for a whole day, and their blood has long dried up, changing from bright red to deep red, and even showing a faint black color. Everyone's face is pale and stiff, and many flies are flying back and forth with interest, enjoying A rare buffet meal.
A stench hit their faces, and more than a dozen Youzhou soldiers couldn't help frowning, but Zhao Yun did not hesitate to stick the bright silver spear on the ground, rushed forward and called softly.
"Is anyone still alive?"
"We are the Youzhou Army, here to save everyone!"
"If someone alive screams, we can save you."
More than a dozen Gongsun soldiers turned over the mountains of corpses and searched for them one by one, but almost every corpse had become cold and stiff, and it was unknown how long they had been dead.
At this moment, a faint moan came out.
"water"
Zhao Yun looked happy and hurriedly moved forward, holding the moaning boy in his arms. He turned around and shouted, "Where's the water?"
The Youzhou Army next to him quickly took off the water bag from his waist and handed it to Zhao Yun.
"Here comes the water." Zhao Yun shouted softly, handed the mouth of the water bag to the young man's mouth, and gently fed it in.
Gurgling.
Zhao Yun moved very gently, for fear of choking him, and slowly fed him a few mouthfuls. The young man exhaled a sigh of satisfaction, slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a kind and gentle face.
"Thank you." The young man whispered.
"It's okay." Zhao Yun comforted him and hugged him gently.
Gongsun Xu on the side came over, looked at the injuries on the young man's body, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a good boy, you can still survive with such a long scar, your life is tough."
There was a long and narrow scar on the young man's back, but it slowly condensed after bleeding, and by luck he managed to save his life.
After a moment, the young man finally opened his eyes with difficulty.
"Child, what's your name?" Zhao Yun said warmly.
"My name is Zhou Qing." The young man said with difficulty.
"Don't be afraid, we are Youzhou soldiers, you are safe." Zhao Yun asked: "What is going on? Who set the village on fire and killed so many people?"
As soon as the young man heard this question, he immediately became energetic and sat up forcefully, gritting his teeth.
"Wuhuan people, damn Wuhuan people!"
"They burned, killed and looted. They killed my mother, Coyotito and Xiaofeng."
At this point, the young man couldn't help but shed tears, washing away the blood on his face. Suddenly he groaned and lay back in Zhao Yun's arms. It turned out that he was excited and fainted again.
"God damn the Wuhuan people!"
Gongsun Xu snorted loudly: "Dad, he is right. The barbarians are all alien tigers and wolves, wearing human skins and doing nothing. I only regret that dad did not drive them all out and caused such disasters today."
Gongsun Zan originally advocated a radical policy against Wuhuan, leading a large army to guard Youzhou and killing the Wuhuan people on sight. Therefore, the Wuhuan people were as fearful as tigers. Since Gongsun Zan was defeated and died, these Wuhuan people have naturally become a lot bolder. .
Zhao Yun stood up silently and handed the boy in his arms to a Youzhou soldier without saying a word and with a deep expression on his face.
"Zilong, what's wrong with you?" Seeing his appearance, Gongsun Xu asked with concern.
Zhao Yun said coldly: "The Wuhuan people are really hateful. They dare to enter our Han territory to burn, kill and loot. They are really arrogant."
"Who says it's not the case?" Gongsun Xu sighed: "If my father's White Horse Yi Cong were still here, I wouldn't have dared to join the invaders if I borrowed their courage. Now, alas."
"So what if I don't have the white horse to follow? Aren't there still us?"
Zhao Yun said seriously: "Bo Yan, how about leading an army to pursue these Wuhuan people and attack them?"
"What?" Gongsun Xu was surprised: "We are the only ones here, Zilong, are you kidding me?"
Gongsun Xu hoped that Zhao Yun was joking, but Zhao Yun's expression was extremely serious, and he couldn't help but change his expression.
"Zilong, you have to think clearly!" Gongsun Xu grabbed Zhao Yun's shoulders and said solemnly: "I don't know how many Wuhuan people there are, but we only have a hundred or so brothers!"
He turned around and advised Zhao Yun: "We are the only ones here. If we kill them all, how can we raise an army in the future?"
"If you can't even protect the people, why bother raising an army!"
Zhao Yun stepped forward and shouted: "Yun is determined to pursue the Wuhuan thieves and avenge the people! Men who are brave can go with Yun. If you don't want to go, Yun will not force you!"
