Chapter 158

"Soldiers, hold on for one more day! General Su Xuan, the Central Commander, has already taken Julu and entered our Changshan Commandery!"

"I believe that within a day, he will definitely be able to reach Zhending, wipe out the Huang Jin rebels outside the city, and save us. Don't give up!!"

"Kill!!"

Zhao Yun and the Commandery Governor of Changshan commanded while not forgetting to boost the morale of the soldiers.

"Boom!!!"

Just at this moment, the sound of thundering horse hooves seemed to come from the east in the distance, and the defending soldiers near the east city wall were the first to discover it.

After the army approached and they saw the flags clearly, the defenders couldn't help but cheer excitedly: "They're here! General Su Xuan has really come to save us! That's wonderful!"

"We are saved!"

For a time, enthusiastic cheers erupted on the city wall and quickly spread to the soldiers on the other city walls.

Soon, the entire Zhending City began to boil and cheer.

"Kill!!"

Under such circumstances, Su Xuan led the Black Armor Army, the Black Tortoise Battalion, and more than ten thousand ordinary government troops to kill their way into the Yellow Turban army outside the city.

They rampaged all the way, invincible.

Especially the Black Armor Army and the Black Tortoise Battalion, which formed a military formation, were incredibly terrifying, with extremely high efficiency in killing the enemy, soon making the Yellow Turban army tremble with fear.

"Run quickly! They are not human! They are demons!"

"I surrender!!!"

"Run! Run! Run!!!"

Under the slaughter of such terrifying enemies, the Huang Jin army, which was already a mob, began to show signs of large-scale collapse and flight.

They also began to surrender.

And, as word spread, more and more Huang Jin soldiers began to flee or kneel to surrender.

"What terrifying iron cavalry and infantry, what terrifying military formation;"

"Is this General Su Xuan and his army? Indeed worthy of their reputation, deserving of the name of an invincible army!"

"No wonder they could get the praise of my master."

"Perhaps, I can join his command, achieve merit, and at the same time realize my ideals?"

On the city wall, Zhao Yun witnessed the scene of the Su family army being invincible. While his blood boiled, he couldn't help but think with yearning.

There was no martial general who didn't have a heart to achieve merit and practice ideals, and Zhao Yun was naturally no exception.

"Amazing!"

Wang Du, the Commandery Governor of Changshan by his side, also looked at the battle outside the city with amazement.

Then, seeing the change in Zhao Yun's expression, he couldn't help but ask with some speculation: "Is Zilong yearning for General Su Xuan and wanting to join his command to achieve merit?"

"Eh?"

Zhao Yun was stunned upon hearing this, and looked at Wang Du with embarrassment: "You make me laugh, Commandery Governor!"

"I do have this idea, but I'm just afraid that my skills are not enough and I won't be able to catch General Su Xuan's eye!"

If only Wang Du were willing to recommend him.

Zhao Yun was a person with principles. Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

But Wang Du, who could be a Commandery Governor, could see the thoughts in the heart of a youth like Zhao Yun.

Seeing him like this, he immediately laughed heartily: "Haha! What is there to laugh about?"

"Any person with ideals, seeing such a heroic army and seeing a figure like General Su Xuan, would have such thoughts;"

"As for Zilong worrying that your skills are not enough to catch General Su Xuan's eye, that is completely overthinking;"

"How could I not know how capable you are, Zilong?"

"In my opinion, Zilong, whether it is your personal strength or your ability to command troops, you are a top-tier choice;"

"Furthermore, I have heard that because General Su Xuan himself does not have a very high background, he has never focused on background when it comes to talents, only ability;"

"The great generals under his command, whether it is Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, or the newly recruited local Jizhou general Zhang He, their backgrounds are not high, yet they have all been heavily employed;"

Speaking of this, Wang Du paused, looked at Zhao Yun, and said: "After the battle outside the city subsides and we welcome General Su Xuan into the city to thank him, I can recommend you;"

"I believe that with your skills and General Su Xuan's ability to recognize talent, you will inevitably be able to join General Su Xuan's command and be heavily employed by him."

Wang Du took on this matter so enthusiastically, naturally, he had his own purposes.

First, to earn a favor from Zhao Yun, so that he might be useful in the future when Zhao Yun becomes successful;

Second, Zhao Yun's talent was indeed outstanding. Wang Du was confident that if Zhao Yun were recommended to Su Xuan, he would definitely be favored and heavily employed by Su Xuan.

At that time, couldn't he, the recommender, also win Su Xuan's favor?

A figure like Su Xuan had a limitless future, certainly much more promising than him.

Being able to establish a relationship early, there would always be a time when it would be useful in the future.

Being kind to others and making many friends with talents would make his own future smoother!

This was Wang Du's way of being an official.

Sure enough, when Zhao Yun heard Wang Du say this, he bowed deeply to Wang Du with gratitude: "Thank you, Commandery Governor, for your kindness in recommending me. Zhao Yun will keep it in mind. Whether it succeeds or not, Zhao Yun will remember this favor and will definitely repay it generously in the future!"

Seeing Zhao Yun's serious expression, Wang Du smiled with satisfaction: "Haha! Zilong, having this heart is enough;"

"The Huang Jin army outside the city has been defeated by General Su Xuan. Why don't you also lead your troops out of the city to help clear out the remnants;"

"At the same time, see if there is any place where you can help;"

"By the way, you can also leave a good impression on General Su Xuan?"

"Understood!"

Zhao Yun accepted the order and greeted the 300 local braves he had brought from Zhao Family Village to kill their way out of the city.

"Hmm? Who is that?"

Zhao Yun, with his white horse and silver spear, heroic and extraordinary, and with no small amount of skill, soon attracted the attention of Huang Zhong and the others who were relatively close.

"Hmm?"

Su Xuan was also alarmed at this time and immediately looked toward Zhao Yun's side, his eyes lighting up, thinking: "Could this be Zhao Yun?"

"It must be!"

"Wonderful! I didn't expect to really encounter him! I must find a way to recruit him no matter what."

Having made up his mind, Su Xuan immediately ordered the army to accelerate the clearing of the Huang Jin remnants.

After 4 hours, they finally finished clearing, cleaned up the battlefield, and took the surrendered troops into custody.

"Haha!"

At this time, Wang Du led the officials and soldiers in the city to welcome Su Xuan out of the city. From afar, he smiled and cupped his hands: "I am the Commandery Governor of Changshan, Wang Du. This must be General Su Xuan, right?"

"Thank you for your timely assistance, otherwise, our Zhending City would probably have fallen into the hands of the rebel army!"

"Wang Du pays his respects here!"
