Chapter 608 Yuan Shang arrives
In the battle of Dingjunshan, the famous general Xiahou Yuan was calculated by Fa Zheng and was in danger. Fortunately, Zhao Yun led more than a thousand Fenglang cavalry to rush in. After a fierce battle, he injured Wei Yan and rescued Xiahou Yuan. Later, he was caught by Huang Zhong. Zhao Yun personally cut off the rear and fought against Huang Zhong.
Although Huang Zhong was old, his skills were not inferior to those of the middle-aged man. After a fierce battle with Zhao Yun, he was not inferior. The golden sword danced without any leakage, which was both admirable and surprising.
If it were on weekdays, Zhao Yun would have really wanted to see the winner and lose with Old Huang Zhong. However, the situation is now critical. Not only did Xiahou Yuan not know his life or death, but his troops under his command were also killed and dispersed by tricks in Dingjun Mountain. In a hurry, he had only more than a thousand Fenglang cavalry under his command. Even if Zhang Wei's troops who had not arrived yet, if they faced the Shu army head-on, they would have little chance of victory.
At this moment, Zhao Yun was really in a embarrassing state.
However, misfortune never came singly. At this moment, a rumbling sound of horse hooves came from afar. Zhao Yun frowned slightly. When he looked at it, it was Liu Bei, Pang Tong and others who led most of the troops toward his direction.
Zhao Yun's heart became tight, but his face was as calm as a mountain. The silver spear in his hand did not stop at all, and he was dancing every move without any trace, without any restlessness.
When Huang Zhong saw this, he couldn't help but secretly admire that Zhao Yun was indeed a general. Not to mention anything else, just relying on his calm demeanor in the face of danger, he would be worthy of the Grand Governor of Yongliang!
When they were young, most of the troops in Sichuan came to settle down. Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun collected the weapons at the same time, retreated the horses for a distance, and used arrows as a ruler to stand between the two sides.
Zhao Yun was immediately rushing to the point of looking up, but he saw a group of Shu army soldiers swarming overwhelmingly. More than ten cavalry led by him came overwhelmed by several people. The first three were a man with an ugly appearance, holding a wine gourd and rosacea. On the right was a scholar with a kind smile and calm demeanor, while in the middle, his face was excellent, with a vaguely restrained and domineering attitude.
It was Liu Bei, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng.
Looking at the generals surrounded by the three of them. In addition to Huang Zhong who had just fought with him, there were still a few people with fierce looks, and they knew they were not good at it at first glance. Especially a few generals, with a wide figure, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, which looked very human. There was also a veteran who was about the same age as Huang Zhong, with chicken skin and crane hair. Although he looked unbearable, his eyes were shining brightly and full of energy.
Although Zhao Yun's expression remained unchanged, he was inexplicably nervous. Just looking at the postures of these generals, you know that even though they were not as brave as themselves, they were probably not too different. In addition, the powerful general Huang Zhong, even if he had three heads and six arms, it would be difficult to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, let alone the opponent had many soldiers...
In this case, ordinary people must run back and strive to escape first. Zhao Yun knew that if this was the case, it would be exactly what Liu Bei wanted. Xiahou Yuan did not know about life and death. Zhang Wei had limited ability, and he ran here all the way. The horse was weak, and the enemy was raising his energy and retreating if he was touched. Liu Bei took the opportunity to break the camp of Yuan's army in Dingjun Mountain.
Zhao Yun has a firm mind, so how could he be willing to escape without fighting? Although the current situation is not good, it is much better than when he fought against Yan Xing in Guanzhong. In today's battle, even if he is defeated, he can only defend the barriers of the camp. Moreover, if they want to defeat themselves, they will inevitably make the enemy pay a heavy price!
Seeing that Zhao Yun did not stop his horse and fled back, he raised his gun and lined up the cavalry behind him to block the way of the Shu army. His eyes were like lightning, covering the other party.
In this way, the dual conveniences form a trend of perseverance.
Seeing Zhao Yun like this, Fa Zheng couldn't help but stroking his hands and whispered: "What a Zhao Zilong!"
Liu Bei looked calm and smiled slightly, saying, "I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay with Zilong?"
Zhao Yun immediately bowed back his favor and said, "If you have any trouble, Liu Jun will be worried, and Zhao will be at peace."
When Liu Bei heard this, he sighed with sarcastic sigh: "I remember when you were standing hand in hand with Zilong in Peiping, Zilong was still young and young. I don't want to see you again now. You are already middle-aged, and Bei is over fifty years old. Although life is like this, the world is still turbulent, the world is still chaotic, the Han Dynasty is still in danger, and the treacherous ministers are still in power, which is really sad..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yun opened his mouth and slowly interrupted Liu Bei's words, saying, "I am here, not trying to make friends with the envoy! If the envoy has nothing to do, there is no need to say anything. Zhao will now command the troops to rush forward. If anyone is not afraid of death, just come and stop me!"
Zhao Yun said this sentence so boldly that everyone had an illusion in his heart: it was not Liu Bei who had the upper hand now, but Zhao Zilong who led the thousand cavalry!
Beside Liu Bei, Pang Tong smiled and said, "General Zhao is such a bad word. I wonder if he wants to listen to a certain family's words?"
Zhao Yun turned his eyes and looked at Pang Tong: "Who are you?"
"A certain Xiangyang Pang Tong, with the name Fengchu, I wonder if the general knows my name?"
Zhao Yun nodded after hearing this and said, "Is it the Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan, who is second only to the wise men of Jingxiang, who is second only to the lielong Zhuge Liang?"
This sentence was Zhao Yun’s Wuxin’s words, but it only made Pang Tong so angry that he was sleeping dragon and Feng Chu, with the word Qi flat shoulders. When did the sleeping dragon become the one that suppressed Feng Chu?
However, after returning from anger, Pang Tong's expression was still as usual, and he smiled and said, "It turns out that the general also knows my name. Today, a certain family is here. I want to ask the general, I don't know when the general was born?"
Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this and said, "The tenth year of Yanxi in Han Dynasty."
Pang Tong smiled and said, "Born in the Han Dynasty. Since that's the case, does it mean that the general is a Han Chinese?"
Zhao Yun twisted his face and said, "Nonsense."
"Since the general is a Han Chinese, he should be loyal to the country and the king. Just look at the collapse of the Han Dynasty, the jackals and wolves are in power, and the world is so chaotic. He is just needed to be a hero like a general to serve the country and the people, and to be loyal and uphold righteousness. However, the general did not expect to ignore the general and help the rebels..."
Zhao Yun snorted, interrupted Pang Tong's words, and said, "The jackals are in power, support the Han Dynasty, and help the thief... After just a few words, can't you get a new word?"
Pang Tong's classical Chinese sighed: "The old meaning of the poem is not the same. Yuan Shang, this villain, threatened the world, and even more so Cao Cao. People and gods are angry. The general does not denounce him, but helps his power. How sad is it..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw that Zhao Yun had already taken out the treasure bow from behind, bent his bow and arrow, curled his fingers, buckled his hands, straightened his shoulders, straightened his chest, stepped on his steps, condensed his energy, and other steps were completed in one go. Then he focused his attention and shot an arrow at Pang Tong.
Fortunately, there was a general Wen Pin next to him who raised the ice blade in his hand and blocked the arrow for Pang Tong.
This arrow was like a declaration of war. After one arrow was shot, Zhao Yun led the Fenglang Cavalry behind him and rushed towards Liu Bei's army.

***************************
The Sichuan Army fought fiercely with the Yuan Army in Hanzhong, while Yuan Shang and other niche fast cavalry had already arrived in the northwest.
Yuan Shang left the central army in Xuchang, leaving his commanding flag as a fog. He only led a small team of personal guards, and Zhuo Sima Yi and Gan Ning walked with him.
Another person also followed Yuan Shang to Hanzhong, and this person was Xu Huang, who was temporarily appointed as a guard.
At the Longlukou of Guanxi, a scout already reported the situation in Hanzhong to Yuan Shang with Pang De's Feixun.
After reading the battle report in Hanzhong, Yuan Shang frowned slightly, and sat on the horse and looked at Pang De's battle report with a serious expression.
Sima Yi looked at Yuan Shang's face from the side and said, "The war is not going well?"
Yuan Shang sighed and said, "Now, it's a mistake. Pang De retreated to Ma Ming Pavilion. Xiahou Yuan was defeated in Dingjun Mountain. He was seriously injured. If Zhao Yun hadn't arrived in time, he would have to pay his life to Liu Bei."
Sima Yi blinked and said, "Is it so tragic? Isn't even a victory?"
Yuan Shang smiled and said, "That's not the case. Fortunately, Zhao Yun is still there. This guy led a thousand Fenglang cavalry to Dingjun Mountain, seriously injured Wei Yan, rescued Xiahou Yuan, and then confronted the main force of the central army under Liu Bei..."
Sima Yi was shocked when he heard this and said, "How can a thousand wolf cavalry have a chance of winning against Liu Bei's main force?"
Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Yes, it was not won. Zhao Yun and his group fought desperately, outnumbered. The camps on the flanks of Dingjun Mountain were all lost. Fortunately, he fought bravely and also gave a major blow to the Sichuan Army, so that they could not be too presumptuous... Moreover, in the Han River land on the north side of Dingjun Mountain, they gathered again to set up camps, blocking Liu Bei's way."
Sima Yi raised a thumbs up and said, "It must be the general we brought out ourselves. Look, you have to point at Zhao Yun at the critical moment!"
Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "Although Zhao Yun is strong, the Sichuan Army's offensive is too strong. I'm afraid he can't protect it for too long. We have to hurry to Hanzhong."
Sima Yi nodded and said, "That's right."
After thinking about it, Yuan Shang said again: "Zhongda, in your opinion, how should we fight against Liu Bei when we go to Hanzhong this time?"
Sima Yi smiled and said, "It depends on what kind of result the lord wants to achieve."
Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this and said, "What does it mean?"
Sima Yi said: "Lord, to be honest, I have thought about it for a long time along the way. Although I can pinch the throat of the Shu army, our enemies are not the only one of Liu Bei, but also Guan Yu of Jingzhou and Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu. The main enemies in various places are our army. According to our army's current snobbery, from north to south, we are not afraid of them. But we must do our best to conquer the fertile wilderness for thousands of miles in one breath. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack Xichuan, but we must spend many years! If the battle lasts for a long time, it is better not to be the Hanzhong land than to pinch it in our hands."
Yuan Shang knew some history of the Three Kingdoms, and when he heard the sound of the piano, he knew the meaning of elegance. He immediately said, "Give up Hanzhong, show weakness to Liu Bei, provoke his relationship with Sun Quan, and then focus his targets on Jingzhou?"
