The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 107
Sun Shao was about to stab the iron halberd into Zhang Hu's body, when he suddenly saw the trembling body of Zhang Hu's war horse out of the corner of his eye, he had a flash of inspiration, and before he could think about it, he loosened his grip between the flashes of light and flint. Zhang Hu's iron halberd stabbed Zhang Hu's halberd, and Zhang Hu's arms went numb, he could no longer hold the horse, and fell to the ground.But Sun Shao swept past him empty-handed.

When Zhang Liao saw Zhang Hu turned over and fell off the horse, he thought he was stabbed to death by Sun Shao, his eyes turned red immediately, and Cao Cao's order was also ignored by him. He shouted, twisted his halberd and stabbed at Sun Shao.Sun Shaokong attacked, unable to parry, he had to urge his horse to run wildly, Zhang Liao chased after him.

The two, one in front of the other, galloped along the front of the formation.

Lv Yi and Gan Yu were shocked. They were just happy to see Zhang Hu fall to the ground, but in the blink of an eye they found that Sun Shaokong was being chased by Zhang Liao with his bare hands. They were frightened out of their wits. The two of them didn't think much of it, they urged their horses to chase after him. go down.

Fortunately, Sun Shao's horse is fast. Although Zhang Liao's horse is not bad, it is still much inferior to this horse. Although he is running with all his strength, he still can't catch up with Sun Shao. Qu saw it, and was about to go forward to encircle him, but saw Zhang Hu, who was lying down, suddenly turn over and stand up, and shouted loudly: "A Weng, A Weng, stop chasing! Don't chase—"

Everyone was stunned, and the noisy front fell silent. Everyone looked at Zhang Hu who was chasing after him on foot, and didn't know what was going on.Although Zhang Liao felt that the front of the battle was a little too quiet, but he only had Sun Shao in his eyes now, and he didn't care about other things at all. He was surprised when he turned his horse back and saw Zhang Hu who was alive and kicking, and pulled the rein , rushed to Zhang Hu, and exclaimed in surprise: "You... are not dead?"

Zhang Hu stepped forward to pull Zhang Liao's rein, and said with a happy smile, "Ah Weng, it was Sun Jun who spared my life, and he let go in time. I was just knocked off, and I'm fine."

Zhang Liao suddenly realized, looked up to find Sun Shao, only to find that Sun Shao had already picked up the halberd, looked at him from a distance, and laughed loudly: "The general is a famous hero, chasing me with a sharp blade, an unarmed junior, seems a bit uncomfortable Be kind."

Zhang Liao blushed, lightly raised his war horse, and slowly went forward until he was about ten steps away from Sun Shao. He clasped his fists and said loudly, "Thank you Sun Jun for saving the dog's life just now. Zhang Liao offended you just now." , please Sun Jun Haihan."

"Hey hey..." Sun Shao said with a smile: "It's a good thing my father-in-law gave me a good horse, otherwise I would have died unjustly today. General Zhang, your son is just short of horses, not defeated. A gentleman does not take advantage of others, boy Although I am not a gentleman, I don’t bother to do such things.”

After hearing this, Zhang Liao said in surprise, "Is your horse a gift from Brother Yun? But the blood of that red rabbit?"

Sun Shao glanced at Zhang Liao in surprise, and said with a smile, "General Zhang is well-informed, and even knows this? Yes, this is the blood of that Chitu, also named Chitu, whose father passed away the year before last. gone."

"Ah..." Zhang Liao was a little sad and speechless for a while.Lu Bu's horse also died, and there is no trace of him in this world anymore.Lu Bu is among the people, and Chitu is among the horses. It's a pity that such a hero in those days ended up in such a fate.He glanced at Sun Shao across the way, and suddenly felt a little emotional. Could it be that this young man named Feng Xian had some connection to him somewhere?
"Sun Jun has been fighting for a long time, why don't you rest for a while and fight again, so that no one will say that I, Zhang Liao, take advantage of others' danger."

Sun Shao put the iron halberd on the horse, laughed and said: "Even if the general doesn't say anything, I still want to rest for a while. Although the boy is mad, he doesn't dare to hold the general in front of him. He is recuperating and recharging his energy before asking the general for advice." .”

"So, Sun Jun, please rest before the formation." Zhang Liao also crossed the iron halberd, turned his horse's head, returned to the formation, arranged for someone to fetch some food and water, and handed them over to Sun Shao and the others.Sun Shao didn't refuse, and got off his horse under the watchful eyes of hundreds of Cao Jun, and sat down on the spot with Lu Yi and Gan Yu, drinking water and eating leisurely.

Lu Yi gave Sun Shao a thumbs-up, and said with a smile: "Sun Jun, I admire, I admire." Gan Yu also looked at Sun Shao with a strange look, but he couldn't hold back his face to talk to Sun Shao, so he had to show his face. turn aside.Sun Shao ignored him and ate on his own.

Cao Cao watched from afar on the general platform, and found it very interesting. When he saw Yang Xiu standing far away, he shouted loudly: "Dezu, come closer." Yang Xiu hurried to the front, Cao Cao pointed Zhang Liao and Sun Shao from before: "Today's battle is quite old-fashioned. You are quick in writing, can you have poetry to cheer you up?"

Yang Xiu smiled: "If you want to write essays, how can I compare with Lin Suhou?"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and felt a little unhappy.Cao Zhi's literary thinking is good. He had liked Cao Zhi for 10 minutes before, but Cao Zhi was informal and a bit dissolute. Last time when he conquered the East, he asked Cao Zhi to guard Yecheng. As a result, he made things almost out of control, so this time He let Cao Pi stay behind.Recently, there are quite a few people supporting Cao Pi in front of him. He has gradually gained some ideas in his original thoughts of activities. Yang Xiu is still speaking good things for Cao Zhi at this time, so he is a little ignorant.

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't answer, Yang Xiu didn't dare to say any more, and said with a smile: "The poetry and prose are well done, but I just need to think about it for a while, and please allow your Highness."

"Hey, when did you become so slow? Could it be that you have been thinking too much recently?" Cao Cao smiled calmly, and waved his hand to signal Yang Xiu to back down.Yang Xiu was dripping with cold sweat, his heart was palpitating, and he retreated to the side.

Half an hour later, Sun Shao finished his rest and got on his horse again, while Zhang Liao rode out into battle, without saying any more nonsense, the two of them raised their iron halberds and fought together.Facing Zhang Liao, Sun Shao didn't dare to be careless, he concentrated and went all out.Although Zhang Liao had a good impression of him and was grateful to him for letting Zhang Hu go just now, but this matter was related to the morale of both sides, he did not dare to let it go easily, so he cheered up and confronted Sun Shao.The two of them, one old and one young, were circling and fighting in front of the formation, which was thrilling and exciting.

Zhang Liaosheng is experienced and fierce in killing skills, while Sun Shaosheng is tall and powerful, with first-class speed and strength, and quick response. Even if he lacks experience, he can make up for it in time. Although Zhang Liao is fierce in moves, but Because he didn't dare to assassinate Sun Shao, he had to save a little bit of strength, and after a while, Sun Shao was evenly matched with Zhang Liao.

One-on-one combat is an ancient way of martial arts that is rarely used in this era. There is only one time in the history of the Three Kingdoms, that is, in Chang'an City, Lu Bu and Guo Duo were singled out. That time, Lu Bu stabbed Guo Duo in the arm with a halberd In the end, in fact, the process is very fast, the real fight is a round, and many people may not even see it clearly.But now most of the people present have never seen such a hearty scene. They all watched it with relish, and inadvertently forgot that Sun Shao was the enemy. Whether it was Zhang Liao or Sun Shao, it was just that they used Making a beautiful move, or dodging a seemingly killer attack by the opponent, will cause a burst of applause. The military camp that was originally full of murderous aura has now become a martial arts arena.

Cao Cao was also very happy watching the young man who was fighting with Zhang Liao in the distance, as if seeing his son Cao Zhang, he felt a little fond of him.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred and ten rounds passed, Zhang Liao was a little impatient, and was ready to go all out, knocking Sun Shao off his horse with one move, and ended the battle.Sun Shao didn't dare to be negligent, he shook his hands vigorously, pushed aside the iron halberd, and returned the halberd, Zhang Liao held the halberd horizontally, and the two passed by.However, at the moment when he and Sun Shao crossed each other, Zhang Liao suddenly turned the head of the halberd, put it on the halberd between Sun Shao's hands, and pulled hard.

Sun Shao didn't expect him to use this move, and it was too late to change his move, but if he pulled the halberd out of his hand, it would be considered a fall. Without thinking, he clenched the halberd with both hands, shouted loudly, and put all his strength into it. Pull back.

Zhang Liao originally thought that although Sun Shao was strong, he was a southerner after all, and his riding skills could not be compared with northerners. He had been fighting on horseback for 30 years, and the strength of his legs was far from comparable to that of Sun Shao. Unprepared for the attack, even if Sun Shao has the strength in his hands, he can hold his hands, but his leg strength will definitely not be able to support him, and he will be dragged off the horse just like Zhang Hu was knocked off the horse by him. He can also win, even if he has completed the task.

But he never expected that Sun Shao's saddle and stirrups were specially made. Although Sun Shao's upper body was indeed pulled by him, he still sat firmly on the horseback with the help of Takahashi's saddle and stirrups. , and the strength of the red rabbit horse is so great, Zhang Liao failed to pull Sun Shao off, but he was almost dragged off the horse. However, his horse was not so lucky. When two forces charged, the poor horse neighed, and was dragged off course by the red rabbit. With a plop, it rolled onto the ground, throwing Zhang Liao One of his legs was under him.

So what everyone saw was that Sun Shaolian and his horse stood up, while Zhang Liao turned his back on his back.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhang Liao is one of the most powerful generals in Cao Cao's tent. Only Cao Ren can stand shoulder to shoulder with him to win the roost. Even Cao Ren is not sure to defeat Zhang Liao. As brave as Cao Zhang, he dare not say that he can defeat Zhang Liao, plus the battle in Hefei the year before last , Zhang Liao has become the symbol of the undefeated God of War. In the eyes of some older veterans, his limelight is faintly approaching that of Lu Bu back then.But no one expected that Zhang Liao would lose to a 19-year-old young man in full view, and in such an embarrassing defeat.

The soldiers of Cao Jun were stunned and looked at each other. No one could believe their eyes. Not only did the applause fell silent, even the drummers forgot to move. There was a dead silence in front of the noisy battle.

"Cai!" Gan Guan jumped up and applauded loudly, but Lu Yi stood there stupidly, with a frightened expression on his face.

"Why don't you applaud? Captain Sun defeated Zhang Liao, Captain Sun defeated Zhang Liao, didn't you see?" Gan Yu stretched out his hand and shook it repeatedly in front of Lu Yi.Lu Yi gave a wry smile, his voice trembling: "I know, I know he won, but I don't know if we will be able to go back to Jiangdong to report the news to Supreme."

When Gan Yu heard this, he suddenly realized, and his face was ashen.

Zhang Liao's trilogy was the first to react, and without waiting for Zhang Hu to greet him, dozens of riders rushed out of the queue, shouting loudly and rushing towards Sun Shao.The distance of a hundred paces came in a blink of an eye, and before Sun Shao had time to speed up, they had already rushed in front of Sun Shao's horse.Sun Shao was furious, instead of retreating he advanced, snatched the long halberd in his hand, roared towards him, the long halberd slammed on the neck of a soldier who was rushing forward, knocked him off his horse on the spot, and fell to the ground dead.Sun Shao tried his best to urge the horse, Chitu let out a long neigh, and rushed straight between the two horses without hesitation. The soldiers fell off their horses.

Immediately afterwards, he exerted all his strength, and the halberd in his hand was like a god's help, stabbing three people in a row, and he himself was stabbed twice in the arm, thanks to the iron armor protecting his body, he was not injured.

A dozen horses rushed past, and Sun Shao was still sitting on the horse, glaring at him with his halberd, but the backs of the dozens of horses that rushed over were quite empty, and five soldiers were shot down by Sun Shao while they were panting. fell down, fell to the ground moaning in pain, and the other one was already dead.

"Stop!" Zhang Hu yelled, stopped the trilogy who wanted to rush over together, rushed to Sun Shao, protected Sun Shao, and shouted at the soldiers who came back to charge again: "Give it to me!" Get off your horse and help the general up!"

Seeing that Zhang Hu was protecting Sun Shao, the soldiers didn't dare to talk anymore. Several soldiers got off their horses and helped Zhang Liao up. Angrily scolded: "When did I become so ashamed of Bingzhou iron cavalry? It's just that my skills are not as good as others, but I still bully the few with more?"

The few remaining people quickly rolled off their saddles and stood in front of Zhang Liao with their heads lowered, and let him slap them one by one without moving.It wasn't until he kicked the leader of the team to the ground that Zhang Liao angrily returned to Sun Shaoma, clasped his fists together and said, "Zhang Liao's lax discipline really makes Sun Jun laugh."

Sun Shao came back to his senses at this moment, just now he was furious and had no time to think about it, but now the more he thought about it, the more afraid he was, and he didn't bring it up quickly, if Zhang Hu didn't stop the others, he would rush over ten times A few, even with the help of stirrups and saddles, he could only end up being knocked off the horse and trampled to death.While Zhang Liao was teaching his subordinates, he had already calmed down, quickly got off his horse, and saluted: "General, you don't need to blame yourself. Your ministry's concern for the general's safety is just out of loyalty, and there is nothing wrong with it. It was Sun Shao who was rude. It is really ashamed to defeat the general with brute force."

After hearing this, Zhang Liao glanced at Sun Shao, saw that he had no intention of lying, and he didn't care about it. He stroked his beard and sighed: "It's also God's will. Back then, I received art from Lu Junfeng first, and today I'm doing it again." Defeated by Sun Jun Fengxian's men, the two Fengxians... it's God's will."

Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses: "Sun Shao is an ignorant boy, how dare he stand shoulder to shoulder with Wen Hou, the general really killed the boy."

"What a young man, neither arrogant nor impetuous, rare and rare." Zhang Liao patted Sun Shao on the shoulder, and said a little lonely: "Zhang Liao is getting old, and you young people will rule the world in the future, so farewell, Zhang Liao waits for Sun Shao When you become famous all over the world."

Sun Shao caught up two steps and bowed to Zhang Liao: "General, if you dare to ask the general to introduce you, Sun Shao has something to say to the Prime Minister."

"You want to see the Prime Minister?" Zhang Liao was a little surprised.

"It's about the common people in the world, and I ask General Zhang to make it happen." Sun Quan said with a straight face.

"So serious?" Zhang Liao stared at Sun Shao's face for a moment, then nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I'll meet the Prime Minister, whether I see or not is beyond my control."

"Thank you, General." Sun Shao quickly thanked him.

Zhang Liao smiled kindly, and left with his bodyguards. The noisy battlefield just now soon left only Sun Shao alone.Seeing that Zhang Liao and others had returned to the camp, Sun Shao said to Lv Yi and Gan Yu who had caught up: "This is a matter, Gan Yu, you should report back quickly and say that I, Sun Shao, fulfilled my mission and won by luck. Zhang Liao, please rest assured, my lord."

"Then... what about you?" Gan Yu blushed with excitement, but he was not dizzy yet, "Where are you and Bo Dao?"

"Bo Dao and I are going to stay in Cao Ying. We have something to do. After you go back, ask Supreme to send you a boatload of wine."

Gan Yu thought it was funny: "You want to bribe Cao Cao?"

Sun Shao raised his head and said with a deep expression: "One day of swordsmanship will result in countless casualties. I will do my best to persuade Cao Cao to retreat. Bodao, would you like to accompany me?"

Lv Yi hesitated for a while, and immediately said generously: "The captain has such a kind intention, how dare Lv Yi not give a compliment."

"It's wonderful." Sun Shao patted Lu Yi's shoulder, then put his arm around Gan Yu's shoulder and walked aside. Gan Yu's body froze for a moment, then relaxed again, and looked at Sun Shao as if nothing had happened.Sun Shao looked at him and said quietly: "I am very grateful that you took the risk to accompany me for a walk. No matter whether we are friends or enemies in the future, we have no grievances. I promise not to disclose your affairs. You Don't bother with that person, I will guarantee his safety. Your father killed the first person in this matter, so no one else is to blame. If you dare to chase him down, don't blame me for not giving you face, and play with you to the end. "

Gan Yu gritted his teeth and thought about it, then nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will trust you once."

"That's good." Sun Shao smiled and pushed him to the river, where a small boat from Jiangdong was parked: "Go, if you are interested, you might as well take another trip to see the famous Cao Cao. Who is the prime minister?"

"Okay." Gan Yu nodded and said, "If the Supreme Master brings wine, I will definitely come again." He led the horse for two steps, stopped again, and turned around: "Cao Cao killed countless people, be careful .”

"Thank you." Sun Shao waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly.

Gan Yu quickly boarded the boat, and the boat that had been waiting for a long time swung the oars and sailed towards Ruxuwu.

Sun Shao turned around and stood proudly facing Cao Ying.Lu Yi led the two horses and followed closely behind him.Not long after, a scholar-like man walked out of Cao Yingli, walked quickly to Sun Shao, bowed and bowed: "Sun Jun, the prime minister invites you to enter the account."

"Thank you." Sun Shao heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded to Lu Yi who looked a little nervous: "Let's go."

The three of them walked towards the camp and entered the heavily guarded Cao Ying camp. Lu Yi was a little out of breath. He looked at Sun Shao, but found that Sun Shao ignored all these things and just chatted softly with the scholar. He couldn't help admiring them. .This person is really incomparable to others, even though he has stayed in Sun Quan's tent for so long, he has seen a lot of world, but in terms of courage and insight, he is much worse than Sun Shao.

In fact, he didn't know that Sun Shao was more nervous than him now, but he was used to acting, although he was nervous, he didn't let people see 01:30.He tried his best to make his steps appear calm and unhurried, with a reserved smile on his face: "Dare to ask Your Excellency Gao's name."

"Don't dare, I'm Hongnong Yang Xiu, the ancestor of Cao Zi."

Sun Shao raised his eyebrows, looked at the unattractive Yang Xiu in front of him, and said with a soft smile: "Could it be the Hongnong Yang family of the fourth generation and the third father? So Taiwei Yang Gong belongs to your Excellency..."

"That's my father." Yang Xiu said with a slightly smug smile.

"Then you and Yuan Yao are cousins?"

Yang Xiu's footsteps faltered for a moment, and he lowered his voice and said, "Exactly. Are they in Jiangdong?"

"En." Sun Shao glanced at Yang Xiu and said ambiguously.

Yang Xiu's mother is Yuan Shu's elder sister, he is Yuan Shu's nephew, and Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao is a real cousin.After Yuan Shu's defeat, his relatives wandered all over the world, and most of them didn't know their whereabouts. Yuan Yao was in Jiangdong, and Yuan Yao's younger sister was Mrs. Sun Quan. Some surprised.His mother, Yuan Shi, shed a lot of tears for them. If she knew the news, she didn't know how happy she would be.He was about to ask some more detailed information, but he had already reached Cao Cao's central army tent, swallowed it quickly, and said with a smile: "Sun Jun, the prime minister is waiting inside, you should go in first."

"Thank you." Sun Shao didn't say much, stood still at the door, and reported loudly: "So the son of the rebellious general Sun Ce, the chariot and cavalry general Sun Quan's tent, Sun Shao, the captain of the Chenglie school, pay homage to the prime minister and His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

"Hahaha..." There was a burst of hearty laughter from inside: "Sun Lang, come in and let the old man hear what important matters you have to report to the old man."

Sun Shao smiled, looked at each other with Lu Yi, strode into the tent, and saluted Cao Cao who was sitting high above.Cao Cao looked at Sun Shao with great interest, and saw that he was full of vigor, eyes bright, tall and well-proportioned, and his whole body exudes energy and spirit. He was very satisfied, turned to Zhang Liao and said, "Wen Yuan, you This time I lost to Yun Chang, he has a good son-in-law."

Zhang Liao nodded with a smile: "What Your Highness said is true. Although I don't have a daughter, my son is indeed inferior to Captain Sun."

Sun Shao laughed and said: "The general is absurdly praised. The young general is so heroic, how can a boy dare to stand shoulder to shoulder. General Guan married his beloved daughter to the boy, not because the boy has a quality that can be carved, but in fact he did it with the general trend of the world in mind. This is the boy's blessing, but it is General Guan's loss."

"Hahaha..." Cao Cao couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw that Sun Shao's words were funny and not rude, which was quite in line with his own temper.Although his figure is not tall, his laughter reveals a hearty and heroic spirit that is difficult for others to match.
