I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 335: Zhao Zilong and the Qianzi Sutra

Finally, we recruited someone again.

Su Yao was still very happy.

There is no need to explain how Zhao Zilong of Changshan, one of the Five Tiger Generals, rode alone to save his lord at Changbanpo and went in and out seven times.

As for the Anping Qianzi Sutra that Liu Bei strongly recommended, since it was so highly valued and recommended by Liu Bei, Su Yao later took a closer look at it. He found that it was indeed not an ordinary face.

Qian Zhao and Liu Bei became close friends since they were young.

But they didn't get together.

Qian Zhao later followed Yuan Shao and then Cao Cao, eventually becoming a famous general of Cao Wei. He first commanded the Qingxu military to quell the rebellion, and then served as the prefect of Yanmen and the commander of the Xianbei guard in the northern border, dividing and attacking the Xianbei.

Although the Xianbei had repeatedly invaded the border, throughout his reign, the Xianbei in the north were never able to integrate and expand. His achievements in border management were so great that they spread far and wide.

Ironically, such a person, who was also Liu Bei's best friend, did not follow Liu Bei in the future. Instead, he worked for his mortal enemy Cao Cao, and his son even participated in the war to destroy Shu.

This made Su Yao involuntarily become succubus-like towards this big man.

A person's destiny and path are obviously not only determined by the quality of his relationships, but are also closely related to changes in the situation.

However, let’s not talk about Su Yao’s thoughts at this moment.

Zhao Yun and Qian Zhao on the other side were shocked and moved to see the famous champion marquis humble himself to a soldier like Ruosi.

Regardless of their previous stories and thoughts, now the two of them hurried forward to express their gratitude to Su Yao for his respect, and vied with each other to say that they were willing to do their best to repay him.

The previous story?
Well, there is obviously a reason why these two people were easily recruited by Su Yao.

After all, the glorious future has not yet happened, and the two people in front of them are just little Camillas.

Today, Zhao Zilong is just an ordinary outstanding young man from the wealthy Zhao family in Changshan. Because of his talent in martial arts since childhood, he was sponsored by his family to study under Tong Yuan, and he has just graduated and returned home not long ago.

At this time, Zhao Yun could not even be considered a humble man and had no qualifications to serve in the government.

If there was no future chaos in the world, Zhao Yun would just marry a wife in the countryside and become the leader of the county soldiers to protect the countryside.

Therefore, when the Zhao family received the conscription order from the famous General Guanjun Hou's Mansion in Jizhou, it was like happiness knocking on the door.

Immediately, they went to Zhao Yun's home happily to report the good news.

Someone in my Zhao family is finally going to become an official!

The head of the Zhao family waved his hand and decided to urgently purchase equipment and gather 200 pieces of equipment to give to Zhao Yun, asking him to take them to the general's mansion, so that no one would look down on our family.

However, after hearing the news, Zhao Yun's face did not show any joy, but was instead filled with worry.

It has been said before that in today's era, the king chooses his ministers and the ministers also choose their king.

In contrast to Su Yao's brilliant military achievements and great reputation, he was notorious for slaughtering famous families in Jizhou, building Jingguan, and causing so many heads to flow like rivers of blood.

"I'm afraid this young Marquis of Guanjun is not a benevolent ruler." Zhao Yun said to his mother worriedly.

"Yun'er."

Mother Zhao said affectionately:
"Although my family is not a scholar, nor rich, my parents still sought financial support from the clan to support your education since childhood, hoping that you would learn loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety."

"Now that the country is in trouble, the Champion Marquis was able to quickly quell the rebellion and save the people from being killed. This is a great act of benevolence."

“While personal virtue is important, in troubled times, what is more important is whether it can bring true stability and peace to the country and the people.”

"Although the Champion Marquis's methods are cruel, if he can put an end to this chaotic world and allow the people to live and work in peace, this is the greatest benevolence."

Seeing Zhao Yun deep in thought, Zhao's mother paused and continued:

"Besides, if the Lord makes a mistake, it is the duty of the minister to speak out and give advice.

As a military commander, if you can speak frankly in front of the general, correct the general's mistakes, and guide him to the right path, wouldn't that be a greater act of loyalty and filial piety?"

"Now, the country is in trouble, and the general has called you to serve. Since you have the opportunity to serve the country, you should go all out, put the interests of the country and the people first, and do not lose sight of the greater good because of minor details. As for rumors in the market, you should observe them with your own eyes.

If the Champion Marquis is indeed the tyrannical ruler who betrays the righteousness of the world for his own selfish interests, it will not be too late for you to make a choice then.

But before that, you should do your best to influence him and help him so that he can become a true benevolent ruler who benefits the people. "

Zhao Yun's mother's words made him suddenly enlightened. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying:
"My child will remember my mother's teachings!"

In this way, Zhao Yun, with the troops urgently mobilized by the Zhao family, joined Su Yao's team in a mighty manner.

After talking about Zhao Yun’s story, let’s talk about Qian Zhao over there.

Compared to Zhao Yun, an ordinary Zhao villager A, Qian Zhao's background is much better.

He was born into a noble family in Guanjin County, Anping State, Jizhou. Although he came from a poor family, his family had property and business in the local area.

Originally, he was planning to go to the capital to meet his teacher Le Yin, who was the chief secretary of the General of Chariots and Cavalry.

However, the sudden outbreak of war in Jizhou disrupted his itinerary, and this delay benefited Su Yao.

Yes, cheap.

It can be said that the reason why Qian Zhao was able to come was entirely due to Liu Bei's strong recommendation.

Qian Zhao and Liu Bei were sworn brothers, and he was the first brother who shared life and death with Liu Bei.

So, when Liu Bei received Su Yao's recruitment letter and was about to refuse, the letter of introduction that Liu Bei sent at the same time, which praised Su Yao to the sky and was full of convincing words, came in handy.

"My worthy disciple,
I feel deeply honored to serve under General Su Yao recently.

Although this man is young, he is brave and good at fighting, and he is both wise and courageous.

He defeated 200,000 bandits with only a thousand cavalrymen, and his power shook the world.

He was strict in military discipline, clear about rewards and punishments, and only recruited people based on their talents. He had the greater good of the world in his heart.

Bei was fortunate enough to work with him and was deeply influenced by him. In just over a month, he was promoted from a commoner to a Huben Lang, and later transferred to the position of Xiangping Magistrate.

My dear brother Zijing is extremely intelligent, brave and courageous, and his abilities are far superior to mine.

Therefore, I would like to strongly recommend my brother to the general, and hope that the general will give him important positions.

With your talents, I'm sure you can lend a helping hand to the general and quell the chaos in the world.

I am telling you, my dear brother, that I hope we can meet soon.

Respectfully presented by Liu Bei. "

"what?!"

After reading the letter, Qian Zhao was dumbfounded.

"A thousand cavalrymen defeated two hundred thousand. Isn't this just a rumor?"

"And the selection is based on talent. In just over a month, Xuande was promoted from a commoner to a Tiger Guard and then transferred to the position of Xiangping Magistrate?"

"Is Lord Su really so miraculous that he deserves Xuande's praise?"

"Here come the men, prepare the horses!"

Qian Zhao still trusted his brother's judgment of people.

It seems that Liu Bei's strong promotion of General Hou Su was not without purpose.

So, after some thought, Qian Zhao decided to accept Su Yao's call and go to the General's Mansion to serve.

Just like that, Su Yao officially received the two of them.

After reorganizing the troops, Su Yao led 400 cavalrymen and Zhao Yun's 200 infantrymen, a total of 600 new troops to cross the Liao River, marched north from Lunu and entered Youzhou.
