On the other hand, since Zhao Yun returned home, he had been teaching his elder brother Zhao Feng and the villagers martial arts every day, and he had been constantly searching for news about the Yellow Turban.
One day, Zhao Yun found out that when the Yellow Turban Army was attacking Hejian in the Bohai Sea, a hero, Zhang He, had single-handedly killed several generals and forced the Yellow Turban Army to retreat without success. It could be seen that this person's martial arts skills were extraordinary. Zhao Yun had the idea of meeting Zhang He, so he came to Hejian alone.
Zhang He was a famous general of the State of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. He was one of Cao Cao's " Five Generals ". He first followed Han Fu and then joined Yuan Shao. He had made many contributions in the battle with Gongsun Zan. During the war of Guandu, Zhang He was framed by Guo Tu and led his troops to surrender to Cao Cao. He was put in an important position. He followed Cao Cao to pacify the north, conquer Wuhuan, pacify Ma Chao, and destroy Zhang Lu. He had many military achievements.
Later, Zhang He followed Xiahou Yuan to defend Hanzhong. After Xiahou Yuan was killed, he temporarily took over as the commander to maintain the defeated army. During the reign of Emperor Ming of Wei, during Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, Zhang He was ordered to rescue Longyou and defeated Ma Su, the general of Shu, at Jieting, causing Zhuge Liang to withdraw his troops. During Zhuge Liang's fourth northern expedition, Zhang He followed Sima Yi to resist. Later, Zhuge Liang ran out of food and retreated. Zhang He chased him to the wooden door and fought with Zhuge Liang's army. He was shot in the right knee by an arrow and died.
Zhao Yun came to Hejian alone and fought Zhang He for 70 rounds. The two of them appreciated each other and became friends.
Zhao Yun stayed in Hejian for ten days. The two of them talked at night by candlelight and discussed martial arts. They hit it off. Zhang He's family was quite wealthy, and he was kind and charitable. He had many contacts, so he knew almost all the capable people in Hebei, including Julu Tian Feng, Bohai Yan Liang, Nanpi Wenchou, Qinghe Gao Lan, and so on.
Zhang He introduced everyone to Zhao Yun, and before long, Zhao Yun became good friends with everyone. Zhao Yun asked Tian Feng for advice on the art of war and strategy while sparring with Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and the others.
According to the records of the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were both generals under Yuan Shao. Although their martial arts were extraordinary and they were brave, they had no brains and died in the Battle of Guandu.
At that time, Yuan Shao's army entered Liyang and sent Yan Liang to attack Baima. Cao Cao led his troops to the North to rescue, sent Xun You to lead his troops across the Yellow River, led Yuan Shao to the west to respond, and personally led his light troops to attack Baima. Yan Liang fought in a hurry and was killed by Guan Yu. Later, Yuan Shao crossed the Yellow River to Yanjin and sent Wen Chou to challenge Liu Bei. Cao Cao used the baggage to lure the enemy on the road. Wen Chou's army rebelled and was defeated and killed by Cao Cao.
Tian Feng, a native of Julu, Jizhou, was well-read and resourceful. He once served as an imperial censor in the court. Because he was dissatisfied with the eunuch's autocracy, he abandoned his official position and returned home. Yuan Shao raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo and accepted Dong Zhuo's invitation to serve as the other driver in an attempt to save the royal family. Later, Yuan Shao used Tian Feng's strategy to destroy Gongsun Zan, pacify Hebei, and occupy four states. Tian Feng had advised Yuan Shao to seek Xu as soon as possible, to welcome the emperor, and to occupy the political initiative, but Yuan Shao did not listen.
In the fourth year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought for hegemony. Tian Feng proposed a long-lasting strategy of fighting steadily. Yuan Shao insisted on conquering the south but refused to accept it. However, when Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei in the east, he refused Tian Feng's plan of surprise attack on Xu Capital on the grounds that his son was sick. He missed the opportunity. At the Battle of Guandu, Tian Feng once again discussed the strategy of defending the dangerous place and splitting his troops to plunder the enemy. He even strongly remonstrated, but Yuan Shao thought it was a hindrance and put him in prison. In the fifth year of Jian 'an, Yuan Shao was defeated in Guandu, so he was ashamed to see Tian Feng and killed him.
Gao Lan and Zhang He were both generals of Yuan Shao. At the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao led his army to sneak attack Wuchao. Yuan Shao listened to Guo Tu's plan and only sent light cavalry to rescue him. He ordered Gao Lan and Zhang He to lead a heavy army to attack Cao Cao's camp. The camp was too strong to be captured and the grain was burned. Guo Tu was ashamed of his mistake and framed Yuan Shao again. Gao Lan and others were angry and afraid, so they burned the siege equipment and led the army to surrender to Cao Cao.
Later, Zhao Yun got to know his cousin Guo Jia through Gao Lan. Guo Jia was one of the core figures of Cao Cao's early military think tank. He had extraordinary strategic vision and a keen eye for people. Because of his outstanding overall view, he often had brilliant and original suggestions on the choice of combat targets and the grasp of combat time. In the process of Cao Cao completely crushing Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and a few other powerful warlords and achieving hegemony in the north, he had made great contributions.
Guo Jiada's appreciation of the world and Cao Cao's mutual appreciation was also a much-told story. Unfortunately, the heavens were jealous of talents. After the Northern Expedition to Wuwan to wipe out Yuan Shi's remaining troubles, he died of a serious illness at the age of 38. Guo Jia was only 14 years old, but he had already displayed his extraordinary insight and wisdom. Every time he spoke, Zhao Yun and the others were convinced. Tian Feng knew that he was not as good as Guo Jia, so he sighed,"Guo Fengxiao is truly a natural genius.”
Back in Peiping, Gongsun Zan had gained the support of Liu Guan and Zhang, and his strength had greatly increased. With Liu Bei's help, Gongsun Zan quickly defeated the Yellow Turban Army, beheaded 10,000 people, and recruited tens of thousands of people to surrender. From then on, Gongsun Zan's power grew and he became increasingly arrogant.
After pacifying the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Youzhou, Gongsun Zan remembered what happened to Zhao Yun and planned to go there personally.
His younger brother Gongsun Yue said," It's just a nameless person, Zhao Yun. Why would you trouble me to go there personally? I'm willing to destroy this person on your behalf and offer his head to you."”Gongsun Zan was overjoyed, but he was worried about Zhao Yun's superb martial arts skills, so he sent his guards, the White Horse Legion, and 2,000 white horse followers. In addition, he also sent General Yan Gang and a dozen other generals to follow him.
This time, Gongsun Zan was afraid that something would happen to Gongsun Yue, so he specially mobilized such a huge lineup. However, he did not expect Zhao Yun to run into Ding Huai before he returned. This was something Gongsun Zan had never expected. Hence, Ding Huai was trapped on the white horse and Gongsun Yue's group was completely wiped out.
In fact, even without Ding Huai's appearance, Gongsun Yue and the others would still be doomed if they encountered Zhao Yun. Therefore, Gongsun Yue could only return triumphantly when Zhao Yun was alone.
After hearing Zhao Yun's story, Ding Huai sighed deeply. Who would have thought that Zhao Yun would know Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and the others? No wonder Zhao Yun defeated Zhang He in just thirty rounds when he fought Cao Cao's army in Runan. Zhang He must have deliberately given in and helped Zhao Yun break out of the encirclement.
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Ding Huai said to Zhao Yun,"Now that this matter is over, what plans does Zilong have in the future?”
"Of course I'll kill Gongsun Zan to avenge my brother," said Zhao Yun hatefully.”
"Gongsun Zan is in Peiping," Ding Huai said."He has many soldiers and generals under him. How could Zilong kill him?"”
Zhao Yun had never thought of this question before, and she was stumped by Ding Huai's question.
"As the saying goes, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Zilong could not show off his anger for a moment and make a big mistake, so that his relatives would feel sad and his enemies would feel happy. If Zilong trusts Ding Huai, and Ding Huai promises to destroy Gongsun Zan within ten years and avenge Zilong, would Zilong be willing to lend me a hand?”
