Chapter 3: A hero does not mention his courage

Seeing that Zhao Yun was still hesitating under the city, Yuan Xi thought that there was an excellent opportunity in front of him. If he missed this time, he might never be able to do it again.

After Zhao Yun defected to Gongsun Zan, he was not very respected because Gongsun Zan's direct line was a white horse, and Zhao Yun and Gongsun Zan's style of conduct should not be in agreement.

Just look at the current siege, only a few hundred soldiers were taken. It was not that easy to capture Beixin City with these people alone.

At that time, Zhao Yun was like Yang Jian in the Gods, who was doing escort food and grass. He had no enemy general to give him a record, so he could not show his strength.

Even at this time, Liu Bei would not know Zhao Yun’s future achievements. The two of them had a good relationship, mostly because of the similar intentions.

If Zhao Yunzhen kills the enemy general one day, he will naturally become famous. By then, it will be difficult for Yuan Xi to poach!

In history, after Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao, he shrank into the city and did not leave. His generals gradually became disloyal and fled one after another. Zhao Yun also defected to Liu Bei at that time. Since then, he has emerged from the abyss and eventually became a famous general.

Yuan Xi knew how much he had, so he didn't want to be the first man under Zhao Yun's gun.

Otherwise, the Romance of the World should be written like this.

"Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi was overestimated and went out of the city to fight. Zhao Yun came to attack, and shot him with a throat shot, and stabbed him on the horse."

So when facing Zhao Yun's attack on the city, Yuan Xi never stood firm and did not give Zhao Yun a chance to make a record. He often said ambiguous words to Zhao Yun at the top of the city, which made the soldiers under the city listened and thought the two were very familiar with each other in private.

This matter will definitely reach Gongsun Zan's ears, adding some distrust of Zhao Yun.

Moreover, this time Zhao Yun led his troops to attack the city, it may not be Gongsun Zan's test.

Although Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan were both students of Lu Zhi, since Liu Bei helped Tian Kai and made friends with Tao Qian, he had signs of establishing a new branch.

Gongsun Zan is not stupid, so he started to be wary of Zhao Yun. This may not be the reason why Zhao Yun ran away in the future.

But Gongsun Zan wanted to alienate the hearts of Yuan Xi's city, so why didn't Yuan Xi do the same?

Because he needs more powerful arms.

To govern a place, one needs to give both kindness and power. He has kindness, but power is not enough.

If youzhou, a place close to foreign tribes such as the Wuhuan, Xianbei and Xiongnu, is close to the city and cannot win the battle, the people will naturally feel that the garrison cannot protect themselves, and people will be dispersed and dispersed.

The reason why Yuan Xi was in a hurry to come to Youzhou was because if Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan in three years and he would come to Youzhou to be the governor, it would be too late.

Therefore, he risked his life and death in order to establish prestige in Youzhou in advance and win people's hearts, so that the military and civilians of Youzhou would be loyal to him in the future.

Although this is difficult, there is still hope.

But at first Yuan Xi did not expect that Gongsun Zan's army was so difficult to deal with, especially Baima Yicong, which was simply terrible in field battles.

At that time, he had no help in training troops without Qu Yi. After suffering a few losses, he decisively chose to be a turtle and give full play to his only advantage in his previous life.

Build walls by crushing ashes.

Zhao Yun under the city was also very hesitant. On the opposite city wall was Yuan Shao's second son, who had been guarding the city for three years and was extremely cunning.

He never attacked during the day, but liked to send people to attack the camp at night. Gongsun Zan's army suffered several losses, and later even Baima Yicong suffered many casualties.

In this era, elite soldiers were strong soldiers with complete armor. At night, attacking the camp means seeing that the enemy was too late to wear armor and attacking unexpectedly.

But there are few good generals who can fight at night, which means that there must be an extremely powerful person in Beixin City, which also makes Zhao Yun secretly alert.

Zhao Yun also wanted to lure the enemy tonight, but he led his troops over several times, but the other party never left the city to fight with him.

Zhao Yun was quite depressed. There were many generals in Gongsun Zan's army who were more famous than him. Do you dare to attack them but not attack me?

Why?

Just as Zhao Yun was also worried about how to take over Beixin City, the other party threw out a very important bet.

In this era, the aristocratic family valued the most. Yuan Xi used his father's reputation to gamble. If he did not abide by the bet afterwards, the reputation of the Yuan family in Runan would be over.

If Zhao Yun wins, he can win Beixin City at the lowest cost, and many people will die less, which is actually quite in line with Zhao Yun's idea.

The general beside Zhao Yun whispered: "General, I'm afraid that Yuan Xi will take this opportunity to escape despite his promise."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun said calmly: "Wouldn't that be right?"

The general was stunned, then understood and immediately respected him.

At this time, Yuan Xi also knew that Zhao Yun wanted to escape by himself, and that his good soldiers would take down Beixin City without bloodshed.

This bet is a psychological game between the two sides.

But Zhao Yun didn't know that Yuan Xi's target was himself!

If you lose the gambling battle, you will be suspicious of Gongsun Zan when you go back. Then you will add some fuel to the fire, which is when Yuan Xi intercepts the Hu!

Finally, the two sides reached an agreement that tomorrow morning, each of them would lead a hundred people from the north and south gates of Beixin City to find the traces of the Huns bandits, and each rely on his ability.

The matter was settled, and Zhao Yun led his troops to retreat.

Yuan Xi returned to the mansion, took off his armor, and came to the backyard, with several arrow targets standing by the wall.

He put on his fingertips, picked up the ox horn bow, put on the feather arrow, slowly opened his arms and raised the bowstring, aiming at the target dozens of steps away.

When your fingers loosen, the feather arrow shot out like a meteor.

The feather arrow stabbed the wall of the board two feet away from the target.

It's biased.

He calmed down and shot several arrows one after another, and finally half of them hit the target.

I heard a rather generous voice behind me laughing: "If you meet the Hun archers, you will die in the first few arrows."

Yuan Xi turned around and at some point, a burly man sat on the table behind him, holding a wine pot in his hand. His palm was extremely wide, and it seemed that the wine pot looked like a hand piece.

His cheeks were thin, his face was full of scars, and his chaotic beard could not tell his true face. He raised his head and poured the wine from the wine pot in his hand into his mouth, then he stood up shakingly.

His body grew up very much, but he looked a little thin.

The big man coughed a few times, took the bow and arrow from Yuan Xi, and raised his hand and had an arrow.

Yuan Xi didn't even see how he fired the bow. The feather arrow had hit the bull's eye, and the tail of the arrow still trembled.

Yuan Xi smiled slightly and said to the man: "Good arrow technique."

"My qualifications are mediocre, how can I compare with my brother?"

"I'm going to bother you again tomorrow."

The big man shook the wine pot, "What happened to you bet with the other party on the city wall today?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Brother, have you heard about it?"

"This bet is hard to win, so I'm all thanks to my brother."

The big man snorted coldly, "Don't call me brother, I can't afford it."

"The nameless young general who ordered Zhao Yun under the city was also called his brother. He is a dignified Yuan family. Are you used to being a younger brother?"

He was quite disdainful: "A young general who is unknown, I can pick him off after I go out of the city and get three together!"

"But every time he brings troops here, you avoid fighting, are you afraid that I can't cure him?"

Yuan Xi thought to himself, no, I am really afraid.

I am the only one who can use it. If you are attacked by Zhao Yun, I will become a bare-headed person.

He knew that the other party was arrogant and had to beat him up, "Brother was seriously injured and had not recovered in the past two years. I am afraid that there will be a mistake. Will you give me all my reputation in my lifetime?"

"Now that killing the Huns on both sides shows their ability, can they also show their power?"

The big man looked disdainful: "Don't please me, I won't eat this."

"That's how I fell into your hands."

"Although I was saved by you, I don't have half of my skills now. Like a betrayal dog, what kind of reputation can I have?"

Yuan Xi sighed: "Brother Qu, how can you judge heroes by success or failure for a while?"

After hearing this, the man poured a big mouthful of wine and said in a deep voice: "Do you really doubt that I was involved in the Yecheng Rebellion in the fourth year of Chuping?"

Yuan Xi was silent for a long time before saying, "I don't know."

"I just think that people like my brother should die on the battlefield, rather than being cut to death at the banquet in a frustration."

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty" - Qu Yi relied on his achievements and was arrogant and indifferent, so Shao summoned him to kill him and joined his many people.
