Among these five, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were brave and brave, but they were not resourceful. Although they had the courage to fight on the battlefield, they did not have the wisdom to lead the army to subdue the enemy. To Ding Huai, who was skilled in martial arts, they were not considered great talents. However, Zhang He was different. Not only was he skilled in martial arts, but he was also both brave and intelligent. He was a famous general of Wei that Sima Xuan King highly valued. It was a pity that he was killed by Zhuge Liang. Otherwise, no one in the Shu Kingdom could defeat him after the death of the Five Tiger Generals.
What truly shocked Ding Huai were the other two Confucian scholars. One of them was about thirty years old, with a slightly protruding forehead, multi-colored eyebrows, and spirited eyes. He had a thin face and a five-inch long beard. He did indeed have the appearance of a wise man. His name was Tian Feng. Those who were familiar with the Records of the Three Kingdoms knew that this person was Yuan Shao's chief strategist, but he was not used by Yuan Shao. In the Battle of Guandu, although Yuan Shao did not have the political, moral, and geographical advantage, as long as Yuan Shao could bring Tian Feng with him and listen to Tian Feng's plan, defeating Cao Cao would not be a problem. Otherwise, the history of the Three Kingdoms would not be like that, and the history of China would also change drastically.
In addition, this young man, who was about the same age as Ding Huai, made Ding Huai feel that he had picked up a treasure. Guo Jia was Cao Cao's chief strategist in the early days of the Three Kingdoms. During the Battle of Guandu, the famous theory of " ten wins and ten losses " came from this person. This person was known as the " Ghost Genius " and was one of the most powerful military strategists during the Three Kingdoms period. Ever since he followed Cao Cao, he had made every plan possible. He had assisted Cao Cao in destroying Yuan Shu, defeating Lu Bu, fighting Yuan Shao, and pacifying Liaodong. He had worked hard and made great contributions. However, he died young. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang would have met Guo Jia instead of Sima Yi when he left Qishan seven times. Moreover, Zhuge Liang might not have been Guo Jia's opponent in terms of intelligence.
During the Battle of Red Cliff, Cao Cao's army was infected with the plague and fell for Huang Gai's trick of pretending to surrender. As a result, Cao Cao was defeated and hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed. After fleeing to South County City in a panic, Cao Cao checked his generals and found that many of them were injured. Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to rest. Cao Ren set up a banquet to relieve Cao Cao's boredom. All the advisors were present. Cao Cao suddenly cried out loud, and the strategists asked in confusion,"When the Prime Minister fled from the tiger cave, he was fearless. Now that we have arrived in the city, the people have been fed and the horses have been fed. It is time to reorganize the army and horses for revenge. Why are you crying instead?”
"I'm crying for Guo Fengxiao!" Cao Cao said. If Fengxiao was here, I would never have made such a major mistake!”So he beat his chest and cried,"Alas, filial piety! It's sad, Fengxiao! What a pity! Filial piety!" All the strategists were silent and ashamed. It could be seen that Guo Jia's position in Cao Cao's heart was irreplaceable.
The five people that Ding Huai met on this trip to Changshan were almost the elites of Hebei. In history, these five people were once Yuan Shao's subordinates, but their endings were different. Wen Chou was killed by the rebels in the Battle of Guandu. Yan Liang died at the hands of Guan Yu, Zhang He and Guo Jia defected to Cao Cao because they were not put in an important position by Yuan Shao. Tian Feng had the worst ending, because he was killed by Yuan Shao for speaking out.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Ding Huai secretly made up his mind to recruit these people under his command and let them unleash their greatest abilities under him. Similarly, Zhao Yun and the others were no less surprised than Ding Huai. They had just learned from their self-introduction that the young man before them was Ding Huai, the son of the Bingzhou Provincial Governor who had been personally named the " First Prodigy of the Great Han Dynasty " by the Spirit Emperor six years ago and the only person in the history of the Great Han Dynasty who had been personally praised by the Emperor in the Throne Room.
Everyone had long heard of Ding Huaiwen's talent, and today, they had witnessed his superb martial arts skills. They could not help but be shocked. At this point, everyone no longer suspected that Ding Huai, who had fought against a large number of people and won a complete victory in front of Beihai City a month ago, was the person in front of them.
After the meal, everyone who had their own thoughts settled down in Chang Shan Village and prepared to go on their own trips the next day. However, Ding Huai was concerned about Zhao Yun. Not long after he returned to the house, he went to Zhao Yun's room alone.
At this moment, Zhao Yun did not rest either. After Ding Huai entered the room, the two of them politely took their seats. Ding Huai saw that Zhao Yun's eyes were red and there seemed to be tears at the corners of her eyes that had not been wiped away in time. He sighed inwardly and said,""Zilong, are you still sad about your brother? However, the dead could not be brought back to life. He hoped that Zilong would be sad and take care of his health.”
Zhao Yun said," Yun's parents died when I was young. It was Big Brother Zhao Feng who raised me up. I originally wanted to find a wise master in this chaotic world after I returned from my martial arts. I wanted to do something and not let Big Brother down. I didn't expect that my martial arts skills would cause Big Brother to suffer."”As she spoke, her eyes reddened again.
"How did Gongsun Zan know about Zilong?" Ding Huai asked.”Upon hearing Gongsun Zan's name, Zhao Yun's face was filled with anger. She gritted her teeth and said hatefully,"It was because I accidentally saved that bastard Gongsun's life when I descended the mountain. I didn't expect that bastard Gongsun to bite the hand that feeds him. He destroyed my entire village and killed my big brother! If I don't take revenge, I, Zhao Yun, swear that I'm not human!”
It turned out that Zhao Yun was a disciple of the famous martial artist Tong Yuan at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Tong Yuan had taken in three disciples in his life. The first disciple was Zhang Xiu, and the second disciple was Zhang Ren. After they finished their studies, they went down the mountain separately. Zhang Xiu went to seek refuge with his uncle, Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ren was a general under Liu Yan, the Lord of Shu.
Tong Yuan had no intention of accepting any more disciples. However, he was shocked by Zhao Yun's perseverance and determination. On the other hand, Zhao Yun was an excellent material for martial arts. Compared to Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren, he was more talented. Tong Yuan could not help but be moved. In the end, he accepted Zhao Yun as his last disciple.
Zhao Yun loved martial arts since she was young. When she was ten, an old man with one arm named Chang Shan came to Chang Shan Village and settled down there. This old man had been in the army for a lifetime and had been through hundreds of battles. He had been in the army for thirty years. Not only had he made a lot of contributions, but he had also developed a lot of skills. Because he did not know how to flatter others, he only managed to get the position of a lieutenant in the army in the end. Later, in a battle, because of the commander's command error, he mistakenly fell into an enemy ambush. In the chaotic battle, in order to save the commander, one of Chang Shan's arms was cut off by the enemy and he fainted on the spot.
When he woke up again, he found that he was already in the Corpse Mound, surrounded by dead bodies. It turned out that he was also treated as a corpse and abandoned in the Corpse Mound. After a narrow escape, when Chang Shan returned to the camp, the commander-in-chief saw that he had lost an arm and could no longer charge into battle. He did not care about the kindness of saving his life at all. He just gave him some money and chased him out of the camp.
Chang Shan, who was completely disheartened, had nowhere to go. He had not returned to his hometown after thirty years in the army, and his family had long changed. Therefore, Chang Shan began to wander around until he came to Chang Shan Village, which had the same name as him. Coupled with the warmth and friendliness of the villagers, Chang Shan settled down here.
There were more than 20 children in the village who were about the same age as Zhao Yun. Chang Shan often taught the children some martial arts. After a long time, this became a habit. All the children would come to Chang Shan to learn martial arts after eating their meals. Among the twenty over children, there were three people who caught Chang Shan's attention. They were Zhao Yun, Xiahou Lan, and Chu Yan. Out of all the children who were learning martial arts together, only these three had the best aptitude and improved the fastest.
Among the three, Zhao Yun was the leader. Not only was his aptitude much higher than Xiahou Lan and Chu Yan, but Chang Shan also discovered that Zhao Yun's Innate Ability was extremely good and was very suitable for martial arts. In the past three years, seeing Zhao Yun's tireless pursuit of martial arts and his diligence, Chang Shan felt that if Zhao Yun continued to learn from him, this beautiful jade might be ruined.
After being depressed for a few days, Chang Shan suddenly thought of a legendary figure he had heard of a long time ago-Tong Yuan, so he told Zhao Yun about it. Hearing Chang Shan's description, Zhao Yun's eyes couldn't help but shine brightly, and her heart surged with endless yearning for Tong Yuan. The next day, the thirteen year old Zhao Yun bid farewell to her big brother Zhao Feng, Chang Shan, Xiahou Lan, Chu Yan, and the others. She went north alone to become a disciple.
