Chapter 92

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

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

"Kill!!"

Zhao Yun and the Changshan Prefecture Governor commanded while not forgetting to cheer the soldiers on.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, the sound of thunderous hoofbeats seemed to come from the distant east, and the defending soldiers near the east city wall were the first to discover it.

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

"We are saved!"

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

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

"Kill!!"

Under such circumstances, Su Xuan led the Black Armor Army, the Xuanwu Battalion, and more than 10,000 ordinary government troops into the Yellow Turban Army outside the city.

They charged and crashed all the way, invincible.

Especially the Black Armor Army and the Xuanwu 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! They are not human! They are demons!"

"I surrender!!!"

"Run! Run! Run!!!"

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

Some also began to surrender.

And, spreading from person to person, more and more Yellow Turban soldiers began to flee or kneel to surrender.

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

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

"No wonder he 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 longing.

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

"Amazing!"

Wang Du, the Changshan Prefecture Governor on the side, also looked at the battle outside the city with amazement.

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

"Eh?"

Zhao Yun was slightly startled and looked at Wang Du with embarrassment: "You make me laugh, Prefecture 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 Wang Du were willing to recommend him, that would be great.

Zhao Yun was a person with principles. Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't open his mouth.

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

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

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

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

"How much skill you have, Zhao Zilong, how could I not know?"

"In my opinion, Zhao Zilong, both your personal strength and your ability to command troops are top-notch;"

"Furthermore, I have heard that because General Su Xuan’s own background is not very high, he has never focused on background when looking for talent, only ability;"

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

Speaking of this, Wang Du paused and looked at Zhao Yun: "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 used by him."

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

First, to earn a favor from Zhao Yun; if Zhao Yun becomes successful in the future, he might be able to use it;

Second, Zhao Yun’s talent is indeed outstanding. Wang Du is confident that if Zhao Yun is recommended to Su Xuan, he will definitely be favored and heavily used by Su Xuan.

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

A figure like Su Xuan has a limitless future and is certainly more promising than him.

Being able to build a relationship early, there will always be a time when it can be used in the future.

Being kind to others and making more friends with talents will make one’s 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 a grateful look: "Thank you, Prefecture Governor, for your kindness in recommending me. Zhao Yun will keep it in mind. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Zhao Yun will remember this favor and will definitely repay it in the future!"

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

"The Yellow Turban 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 village braves he brought from Zhao Family Village, killing his 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 others who were relatively close.

"Hmm?"

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

"It must be!"

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

Su Xuan, who had made up his mind, immediately ordered the army to accelerate the clearing of the Yellow Turban remnants.

After 4 hours, they finally finished clearing, cleaning the battlefield, and detaining the surrendered troops.

"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 bowed: "I am Changshan Prefecture Governor Wang Du. This must be General Su Xuan, right?"

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

"Wang Du thanks you here!"
