The next morning, Gongsun Zan transferred the more than 3,000 people he had mentioned yesterday.

Liu Yu took a few people out to check.

As expected of a troop that has fought its way out of the battlefield, they have bright armor and a well-organized military presence.

Everyone wears armor. Gongsun Zan is indeed a rich man. The styles of armor in this era began to diversify, but iron armor was still the main type. Due to limited production capacity, not only horses were rare, but armor was also rare. For example, among the two thousand people brought by Liu Bei, few of them wore armor.

It was recorded in the "Records of the Three Kingdoms - Biography of Wei Yan" that in the eighth year of Jianxing, during Zhuge Liang's fourth Northern Expedition, Wei Yan defeated the Wei army and captured 3,000 armored soldiers. This means that there were 3,000 people wearing armor, and the rest without armor were countless.

Everyone was very happy to see so many more soldiers appearing all of a sudden.

At this moment, a young general in a white robe walked out. He was not very old, but his face was full of heroism.

He walked up to Liu Yu, bowed and said, "Zhao Yun greets the emperor's uncle."

Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong.

Liu Yu was just thinking about Zhao Yun when Gongsun Zan sent him over. It was like someone sending a pillow just when he wanted to sleep.

"But Zhao Zilong of Changshan?"

Zhao Yun was stunned, obviously not expecting that the emperor's uncle would actually tell him his hometown and name.

Seeing the doubts on everyone's faces, Liu Yu came to his senses. At this time, Zhao Yun was not as famous as he was in later generations. He had just joined Gongsun Zan's team not long ago, and his military achievements were not obvious. It can be said that he did not have much fame in Gongsun Zan's team.

Gongsun Zan naturally didn't know that this powerful man's fighting power was second only to Lu Bu. With just a spear and the combined efforts of A Dou, he could go in and out of Cao's camp seven times and kill everyone.

If Gongsun Zan knew that Zhao Yun was so brave, no matter how generous he was, he would never have sent Zhao Yun over.

Gong Liuyu smiled and said, "I drank with General Gongsun until midnight last night, and I heard him mention Zilong's name."

So this is what General Gongsun said. Zhao Yun came to his senses, bowed and said, "It is you, General."

Liu Bei was a little confused. They drank together until half the night last night. As far as he could remember, he had never heard Gongsun Zan mention this person. Could it be that he was so happy last night that he drank too much and forgot such an important thing?

Liu Bei secretly warned himself in his heart that he should never drink as much as he did last night. It would be bad if he missed something important.

Liu Yu naturally didn't know that his unintentional words would make Liu Bei warn him. He was immersed in the joy of getting Zhao Yun at this time. He held Zhao Yun's hand and narrowed his eyes.

"Zilong is a hero of the time. Zilong's help can defeat a hundred thousand strong soldiers."

Well, it's still this sentence. He said this to Chen Dao and Liu Bei. According to his calculations, the people under his command can at least resist 300,000 soldiers. If he really had 300,000 soldiers, why would he need to travel thousands of miles to Nanpi to ask Yuan Shao for troops.

Zhao Yun was delighted to see Liu Yu being so kind. He had heard from General Gongsun that this man was humble and polite, and treated the wise and the humble with respect. When he met him today, he found that it was indeed true.

Liu Yu took Zhao Yun's hand and introduced him to everyone, praising him endlessly. After talking for a long time, he saw Zhang Fei and Guan Yu looked unhappy, and then he realized that he might have praised him too much.

He quickly changed the subject and asked Liu Bei with a smile: "Brother, how should these troops be distributed?"

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment and said, "The 3,000 infantry can be divided into two groups and combined with the previous 2,000 infantry. Yunchang and Yide will still be in charge, and Zilong will lead the 300 cavalry for mobility."

Liu Yu had no experience in military affairs, no matter in his past or present life. At most, he would talk about whose army was awesome, whose navy was powerful, and whose air force was invincible when he was drunk. Liu Yu knew that this was not even a paper talk. Zhao Kuo talked about military affairs on paper, but he had read military books since he was a child. Liu Yu had mostly returned what he learned since he was a child to his teacher, and some of it was unclear. But Liu Yu remembered it very clearly, and he definitely had not studied military books.

Liu Bei was different. He knew a lot about military affairs. Even if he was not one of the top few in this era, he was still a leader in the second echelon. Otherwise, he would not have stood out in this chaotic world. Moreover, he later led 700,000 troops to attack Dongwu. Although he was defeated by a fire, leading 700,000 troops was already very impressive. After all, a great man in the early Han Dynasty said that the talents that Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang grew up in war could only lead 100,000 troops. As for Cao Shen, Fan Kuai and the like, let alone.

Wang Yue is indeed an old man. Although he had been drinking and was half drunk, he could tell at a glance that Zhao Yun was not a simple person. This man's calm demeanor is something I have only seen in Lu Bu. Could it be that this man's courage is no less than Lu Bu's?

He gestured to Liu Yu with his hand, hinting that this person was extraordinary. Liu Yu did not expect Wang Yue's eyes to be so venomous, and said with a smile: "Arrange a banquet to welcome Zilong."

At the banquet, Liu Yu looked at the luxurious lineup in front of him and couldn't help but feel excited. With this lineup, even if Lu Bu came to fight alone, he could still be beaten and flee. Ahem, ahem, the premise is of course that we fight him alone.

"Come, come, come, everyone, drink this cup to welcome Zilong."

Zhang Fei's happiest moments were training soldiers and drinking. But today, the wine did not flow as smoothly as usual. Looking at the young man in front of him who was praised by Liu Yu, Zhang Fei was puzzled. The emperor's uncle was a little abnormal today. This young general was so young, but he was really as good as he said. He was praised as if he was the best in the world.

"Zilong. I'll toast to you."

Zhao Yun quickly raised his glass.

"Thank you, Yide."

"Zilong is so brave and heroic, so he must have been in battle for a long time?"

"To be honest, I am ashamed to say that Yun has only been with General Gongsun for a short time and has not participated in any decent battles."

So that's how it is. Zhang Fei understood. It turned out that he was just a rookie who had just joined the army. How good could his martial arts be? Thinking of this, Zhang Fei instantly felt that the wine in the glass tasted a little better.

As soon as Zhang Fei started, everyone toasted to Zhao Yun one by one. When Liu Yu saw this scene, he seemed to have returned to the wine table in his previous life, where a group of people raised their wine glasses and spoke flattering words.

Amid the shouts of the crowd, Liu Yu finally came to his senses. He picked up a glass of wine, walked up to Zhao Yun and said with a smile: "Zilong is a hero of the time. He will achieve great things sooner or later. Come, let's drink this cup together."

After that, they had a drink.

Liu Yu poured another cup of wine and continued, "With Zilong's help, this time we will defeat Dong Zhuo. This cup is for Zilong, everyone, drink it up together."

All the generals raised their glasses to toast him, and the emperor's uncle came to toast him in person. If he was under Gongsun Zan's command, he would not even dare to imagine such a scene. Zhao Yun had originally felt a little disappointed about leaving Gongsun Zan, but at this time, his joy had completely dissipated.

He raised his wine glass to Liu Yu and said, "I am deeply grateful for your kindness, uncle."
