Chapter 644 Cao Zhang paired with Fa Zheng, and then add Zhao Yun?
"What kind of silver lightning is this?"
On the city wall, the clan leaders only saw a flash of silver light before their eyes, and did not even see Zhao Yun's figure clearly.
Lu Zhe was hiding in a corner, planning to quietly leave the city tower and retreat towards the inner city.
A strong wind brushed against his cheek, and Lu Zhe seemed to be frozen in place as if he had been hit by a spell.
"Run! Why don't you run?"
"Zhao is nothing but an old scoundrel. His silver spear is slow and dull; it can't kill you at all!"
The tip of the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear was only 0.25 centimeters away from Lu Zhe's lower back.
This 0.25 centimeters is enough to fit a pigeon.
But it's also possible to kill Lu Zhe on the spot in the blink of an eye!
Lu Zhe's tears flowed instantly.
"Grandpa Zhao! Ancestor Zhao!"
"I was just joking. Your martial arts are the best in the world. I... I'm just being cheeky!"
After saying that, Lu Zhe slapped himself twice on the spot, both hands at once.
"Unfortunately... I still prefer your unruly nature!"
Zhao Yun raised his silver spear and slashed it down, the shaft of the spear slamming heavily onto Lu Zhe's head.
Seeing stars, Lu Zhe fainted.
Although the generals in Cao Cao's camp are being influenced by certain bad practices and are becoming seriously outdated.
However, Zhao Yun was still considered a highly qualified person among this group of old men.
Even if he were to behead Lu Zhe now, it wouldn't matter.
But Lu Zhe suddenly became less unruly, causing Zhao Yun to temporarily lose his "Yun Da Nu" state.
"Fine, I'll let you live a few more days, try to get paraded through the streets of Xuchang, make a model for others, and then execute you."
Zhao Yun turned around and saw the heads of the aristocratic families of Youzhou looking terrified.
"Grandpa Zhao! We are willing to surrender! We are willing to surrender!"
Zhao Yun's incredible speed in charging the city wall alone had already extinguished everyone's desire to fight him.
Not to mention, Cao Cao's army has now entered the city, and the 50,000 ragtag troops of the Youzhou aristocratic families are no match for Cao Cao's 15,000 elite soldiers.
Hmm? Didn't Cao Cao's army have 30,000 men?
In fact, until now, the general surnamed Cao has not yet arrived at the battlefield due to travel difficulties.
In other words, Zhao Yun attacked too quickly; the battle was over before his teammates even arrived!
Zhao Yun raised his hand, and Zhang Hu and his two companions, who had already led Cao Cao's soldiers up the city wall, immediately captured the heads of those aristocratic families.
These are all military achievements!
If you follow Uncle Zhao, you'll get nine meals a day!
Zhang Hu and his two companions' eyes were completely transformed into the shape of battle merits, and they addressed each other as "Uncle Zilong" obediently.
……
But there's an old saying that goes something like this.
While some are happy, others are worried and can't sleep at night!
Two days later
Braving the wind and snow, Cao Zhang arrived at the city of Ji and, looking at the Zhao-character banner on the city wall, shed tears of regret.
Yes, the Cao general who partnered with Zhao Yun was none other than Cao Zhang!
Zhao Yun truly deserves the title of "battlefield caretaker".
Cao Zhang, on the other hand, was quite pitiful.
Going on a campaign is like passing through five checkpoints and defeating six generals. First, you have to persuade your second brother Cao Pi, and then you have to persuade your eldest brother Cao Ang.
These two older brothers were terrified that Cao Zhang would get hurt on the battlefield.
After a great deal of effort, the two finally relented.
But for his younger brother's safety, Cao Zhang was given a strategist and paired with a powerful strategist like Zhao Yun!
Unfortunately, Cao Zhang's army was transferred from Xuchang, which was a longer journey than Zhao Yun's troops.
Although Cao Zhang had tried his best to travel.
Zhao Yun still captured Ji City with lightning speed, wiping out all the Youzhou aristocratic families except for Xu Miao!
"Waaaaah, Uncle Zilong, at least leave me some enemies!"
Cao Zhang cried. It was a cold day, and the cold wind was blowing harshly on his face.
Zhao Yun felt somewhat embarrassed after Cao Zhang said that.
Zhang Hu and the other two quickly explained on Zhao Yun's behalf:
"Third Young Master, Uncle Zilong didn't expect the battle to end so quickly at first."
"But that brat Lu Zhe was arrogant and provoked Uncle Zilong, which caused the battle situation to change rapidly."
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhang hated Lu Zhe intensely.
No, why are you being so foul-mouthed?
Don't you do any research before going to war?
Don't they even look at those guys who used to be so sarcastic and mean in front of Uncle Zilong? Their graves are overgrown with weeds now!
Upon learning that Lu Zhe was not dead but merely captured, Cao Zhang immediately rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the Jicheng dungeon to give Lu Zhe a loving lesson.
The strategist who was paired with Cao Zhang also stepped forward to greet Zhao Yun.
"Wow! Mr. Takashi is so eager to improve?"
"He gave up being the governor of Nanyang and came here to rack up military merits!"
Zhang Hu, with his loud voice, accidentally blurted out what was on his mind.
Fa Zheng smiled and said:
"It's alright. After the war ends, I will still be the Prefect of Nanyang."
"But if we stay in Nanyang to handle government affairs, who can guarantee that the Ministry of Personnel won't find a reason to temporarily transfer us?"
As he spoke, Fa Zheng still felt lingering fear.
The news of Yang Xiu's capture had already spread among the small group of escaped cattle and horses in the Ministry of Rites.
Fa Zheng was the one whose escape procedure was the most formal among the escaped cattle and horses.
But when he thought of the wonderful times he spent working in the forbidden Shangshu Ling's mansion, Fa Zheng had to make multiple preparations.
Political affairs were ultimately not his forte.
Under the guise of assisting Cao Zhang, accumulate more military merits, and you will later have an invincible body to protect you.
If Xun Yu wanted to be seconded, he would no longer be given priority consideration.
After all, our Lord is, in a sense, an "enlightened" person.
The contributions that Fa Zheng could make in the Ministry of Personnel were certainly less than what he could do as a strategist on the battlefield.
A short while later, Cao Zhang emerged from the dungeon.
Lu Zhe has been beaten so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him!
"Third Young Master, now that Ji City has been captured, why don't we take advantage of the situation and head north to reclaim the entire territory of Youzhou?"
"Furthermore, after taking Youzhou, we can also try to go to the Xianbei grasslands and launch a surprise attack on Kebineng's stronghold!"
"This fellow sent all his main forces to Jizhou to assist Ju Zong."
"The old nest is actually extremely empty."
Cao Zhang hugged Fa Zheng tightly.
"Mr. Takashi, you're absolutely right!"
Zhao Yun gave Fa Zheng a suspicious look.
That was as if to say, "If the Third Young Master gets injured or something, can you take responsibility?"
Fa Zheng responded with a pleading look.
"A golden thigh! So you have to come along too!"
"Otherwise, how could I, a weak strategist with no physical strength, protect the Third Young Master?"
Zhao Yun secretly rolled his eyes.
Fa Zheng was already rotten to the core, and after being influenced by the four scourges of Cao Cao's camp, he now seems to be developing into the fifth scourge.
"Phew... I can just sit back and win again!"
Zhang Hu, Le Chen, and Xu Gai exchanged a smile.
The three of them were the ones who had the most fun.
Follow Uncle Zilong to accumulate battle merits, and you'll have so many that your hands will be sore from counting them in no time!
