Seeing this, Liu Cheng quickly dismounted and supported Zhao Yun with both hands.
"Young Hero Zhao is so skilled in martial arts, and you even blocked a thousand Yellow Turban soldiers. It is my honor to kill the enemy with you.”
In Zhao Yun's view, Liu Cheng was a relative of the Emperor, so he was naturally a high-ranking official sent by the Imperial Court to suppress the Yellow Turban Army.
He had seen such people before. They were all arrogant and never put the commoners in their eyes.
However, Liu Cheng's actions and words had caught Zhao Yun by surprise.
"Lord Liu is too modest. If it weren't for Lord Liu's arrival with his elite troops, Zilong wouldn't have been able to protect his hometown alone. Lord Liu, if you don't mind, you can come to the residence for a chat.”
"That's good."
Liu Cheng looked at Zhang Fei and said,"Yue 'er, stay here and leave ten people to accompany you." As for the others, Third Brother, you take them to clean up the battlefield and then quickly return. The war was about to start, and there were still many things to do.”
Zhang Fei nodded and left with his men.
Liu Cheng and Chu Yue came to Zhao Yun's residence. After washing up, they went to the main hall.
A servant poured tea for her. After changing her clothes, Zhao Yun sat down beside Liu Cheng.
"Zilong, to tell you the truth. Although I'm an orthodox Han clan relative, my family has fallen. Originally, he was just a pawn in Zhuo County. Because he met my second and third brother, and it happened that the Yellow Turban Army wanted to attack Zhuo County, he led the righteous men of Zhuo County and established the valiant archer cavalry to fight against the Yellow Turban Army. Although I have three thousand valiant archers and cavalry under me and am loved by the people of Zhuo County, I am not a lord. I'm just a righteous man like you.”
"This... What kind of virtue and ability can Zilong be compared with the general?”
"No, you're too modest. Throw away those illusory identities of the so-called Han clan relatives, there is no difference between us. You and I are both righteous men. In order to protect our hometown, we have to go into battle to kill the enemy. In order to protect the people of the Great Han Dynasty, we fought a bloody battle with the Yellow Turban Army to the end.”
Zhao Yun nodded silently. She hesitated for a moment before asking,"I heard you say that we're going to war soon. Are we going to war with the Yellow Turban Army?”
"That's right!"
Liu Cheng was delighted.
After that, Liu Cheng told Zhao Yun about his impending war with Chu Yan.
Of course, he also told them about how he had killed Deng Mao with 1,000 soldiers and Cheng Yuanzhi with 3,000 soldiers, as well as how he planned to use 3,000 soldiers to deal with Chu Yan's 100,000 soldiers.
"This…"
Zhao Yun looked at Liu Cheng in shock and said,""General is really a god! However…Previously, the three thousand troops had wiped out Cheng Yuanzhi's fifty thousand Yellow Turban troops mainly because of the terrain. But now that these 3,000 soldiers were about to start a war with Chu Yan, it would be very difficult for them to have the excellent terrain conditions from before. Furthermore, this time, it was an even more elite Chu Yan army, and their numbers were much greater than before. Wasn't this too risky?”
"What's a risk?" Liu Cheng laughed. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every man. Some things could be avoided, but taking risks to do them was called taking risks. However, there were some things that had to be done. Even if it was risky, so what? Moreover, fighting against the Yellow Turban army required more than just military strength. It was more about stratagems and strategies. If they were to fight only in terms of strength, the Yellow Turban Army would be invincible. Zilong, don't worry. I have my own plan. I will guarantee the safety of the people of Dingzhou.”
Zhao Yun looked at Liu Cheng silently, and Liu Cheng did not say anything else.
The two of them seemed to be waiting for something…
After a while, seeing that the two of them did not speak, Chu Yue could not sit still.
"Young hero Zhao Yun, I think your martial arts skills are extraordinary. You can even defeat two thousand Yellow Turban soldiers with just a dozen guards. Now our army is in need of manpower. Everyone is working hard to protect Dingzhou and eliminate the Yellow Turban Army. Why don't you join us and resist the Yellow Turban Army together?”
"This…"
Zhao Yun pondered for a while.
Chu Yue was a little dissatisfied when she saw this. She stood up and said,"Could it be that you think my husband doesn't have an official title in the Imperial Court? Are you looking down on my husband?"
"I wouldn't dare!"
"That's not the case!" Zhao Yun hurriedly shook her head. General Liu is a hero. I only have admiration and respect for him.”
"Yue 'er, don't be rude."
Liu Cheng gave Chu Yue a look. Chu Yue snorted and turned to leave.
Liu Cheng took a deep breath and said,""As a woman, Zilong must not stoop to her level.”
"General Liu, you are too serious. Sister-in-law is straightforward and what she said is reasonable.”
"Zilong, do you know why the world is in chaos?" Liu Cheng nodded.”
"This…" "Because of greed, because of the desire for power."”
"You're right, but this is only the reason and motive for Zhang Jiao's rebellion. However, the source of the chaos in the world was definitely not here. Let me ask you again, no matter how good Zhang Jiao is at bewitching people, there shouldn't be so many people rebelling. This was the largest rebellion in history. Why do you think the people are rebelling?"
Zhao Yun sighed and said,"If a person has nothing to lose, he will definitely have evil intentions."”
"Well said! But you still haven't mentioned the root cause. Zilong, with your intelligence, you can definitely guess the root cause. Why? Because of my status?"
"That's not the case. It's just that... Sigh! The Emperor listened to the eunuchs 'slanderous words, and the power of the consorts was too great. The entire court was corrupt. The Han Dynasty had already entered its most declining period. No one cared about the sufferings of the people, and there were thousands of refugees. The common people were in dire straits and had nothing to lose. They were bewitched by Zhang Jiao and agreed immediately. More than a million Yellow Turban soldiers rose up, which was why the world was in chaos!”
"Your words are sincere and completely correct."
Liu Cheng exhaled and said,""Now that the Spirit Monarch is old and blind, even though we should call each other brothers, I feel ashamed. The world is in chaos, and I have the duty to protect the people of my Great Han Dynasty. I'm willing to bleed for this, I'm willing to fight for this. In the future, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will be quelled. If the Han Dynasty suddenly wakes up, I will do my best to help it. If the Han Dynasty is incompetent, then I will replace it!”
