The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 343 East and West Struggle for Hegemony of the Teutonic Knights

Outside the king's tent, thirteen Teutonic warriors stood together anxiously, looking at the king's tent from time to time.Their centurion came to see the King of Yue according to Sli's order, and they, as the centurion's closest guards, also followed. Seeing that the centurion not only took a rare bath, but also solemnly put on Han clothes, they Also a little nervous.The centurion entered the big tent and did not come out. Seeing that the moon had risen above their heads, their patience was gradually exhausted, and they became restless.

"The centurion won't be..." A fierce warrior with a big gold tooth said worriedly.

"Don't talk nonsense." A long-faced warrior interrupted him: "The centurion is the reincarnation of the god of war. No one can stop him. Even if many people besiege him, it is impossible to keep silent. Be patient! Just wait, maybe it will come out soon."

The golden-toothed man glanced at him, and snorted unconvinced: "Don't talk about us, you can't hold your breath anymore, can you?"

The long-faced warrior stared at him, and the gold-toothed warrior immediately looked away guiltily. Seeing his appearance, the other warriors wanted to laugh but were not in the mood to laugh. Naturally, their expressions were a little weird. The long-faced knight frowned and looked at him vigilantly. Glancing at the expressionless tiger guards outside the tent, he waved his hand to signal the others not to move. He adjusted his attire and strode towards Tu Hu who was standing outside the tent.

"Look, he just couldn't hold his breath anymore, and he still blamed me." The Golden Tooth Warrior said unconvinced.The other warriors couldn't help laughing out loud when they heard this, but they were not in the mood to echo his words, and looked at the long-faced knight in unison.

The long-faced warrior walked up to Tu Hu, bowed his body, and spoke Chinese.However, his Chinese is not very good, and now he is a little nervous. He forgot all the limited words and worked hard for a long time before uttering a Chinese character: "will...will...", the sound came out of his mouth It was really too difficult to say, after talking for a long time, the word "army" still didn't come out, but my face was flushed from holding back.Tu Hu looked at him calmly, and shook his head in embarrassment. He didn't understand the words of these barbarians, and this barbarian, who seemed to be the leader, also spoke poor Chinese. It was really difficult for them to communicate.

The long-faced knight held back for a long time, feeling helpless, so he had to use gestures to help, pointing to the large tent.Tu Hu thought he was going to get in, so he shook his head with a downcast face. Seeing that Tu Hu didn't even think about it, the long-faced knight shook his head, got anxious, and yelled.When Tu Hu saw him yelling loudly, his face was still angry, and he was also annoyed. If he didn't see that they were brought by Sun Feng, he would have ordered them to be arrested a long time ago.He waved his hand, signaling the long-faced knight to step back.The long-faced knight couldn't understand what he meant, he just yelled, Tu Hu became angry, and with a wave of his hand, the tiger warriors gathered and surrounded them.

When the Teutonic knights saw it, they immediately formed a group back to back and drew out their weapons in unison. Without saying a word, the long-faced warrior drew his sword and rushed towards Tu Hu, wanting to restrain Tu Hu.Tu Hu saw it, and couldn't help but want to laugh. He didn't even pull out the knife, his left hand was behind his back, and his right hand met the knife struck by the long-faced knight at will. With rich experience, he didn't forcefully stop his footsteps, but instead rushed forward, twisted his body, and tried to counterattack with Tu Hu's strength.

His reaction was not unpleasant, and his strategy was not incorrect. If it was someone else, maybe his knife would have worked, or at least he would have forced him to take a step back and lose the opportunity.It's a pity that the one in front of him is Tu Hu, whether it's strength, speed or experience, obviously he can't match it.Seeing his shoulder move slightly, Tu Hu had already seen his intention, and pressed his hand on his right shoulder.

It looked like a light press, but the long-faced warrior felt as if he was carrying a mountain, his legs softened, and he almost knelt on the ground.He quickly straightened his waist, stretched out his left hand and held Tu Hu's wrist tightly, trying to twist Tu Hu's wrist, turning defeat into victory.

Tu Hu smiled slightly, and let him hold his wrist, still pressing the long-faced warrior's shoulder with such ease.The long-faced samurai tried as hard as he could, but he couldn't move Tu Hu's wrist, let alone twist it around. He tried his best to hold on for a while, but gradually he couldn't hold it anymore, his legs trembled uncontrollably Get up, bend your knees more and more, and slowly kneel down.He gritted his teeth and held on with all his strength, resolutely refusing to kneel down.

The Teutonic warriors were taken aback. This long-faced warrior was the best martial artist among them except Sun Feng. Unexpectedly, holding a saber could not stop the opponent's empty hand, and what was even worse was that he was forced to kneel by the opponent's hand. Is it too outrageous?Although they were surprised, they saw that their companions were going to make a fool of themselves, and they didn't care about the disparity in the number of people. They all let out a cry, and after the three of them broke up, the others rushed towards Tu Hu.

When the tiger fighters saw them, they wouldn't let them run wild. They didn't need Tu Hu's orders, they rushed up and chopped them up with their knives.Seeing this, Tu Hu quickly yelled: "Don't hurt people!" The tiger warriors naturally understood when they heard this, turned their knife handles upside down, and made a mess at these Teutonic warriors. People, although those Teutonic warriors had weapons in their hands, they were still beaten into a mess by them.These Teutonic people were savage by nature, and now they were worried about Sun Feng's safety, and immediately became savage. Although they were defeated, they still fought fiercely and marched forward bravely, as if they were facing thousands of troops.

"Stop!" A low-pitched shout came from the tent door, but the tiger warriors seemed to have heard the military order, and they covered each other and backed away. In a blink of an eye, they distanced themselves from the crazy Teutonic .The Teutons were red-eyed, and when they saw the opponent retreating, they became more aggressive, roared, and chased after them with big strides.

"Stop!" Sun Feng yelled in a timely manner, and the Teutonic warriors came to their senses when they heard the yell. Behind Sun Shao, the two are equally tall, handsome, and energetic, but Sun Shao's beard is thicker, while Sun Feng's is lighter.

"Centurion!" The Teutons were relieved to see that Sun Feng was safe and sound, and shouted joyfully, rushing over one after another.Sun Feng waved his hands, walked in front of Tu Hu, and cupped his hands: "General Tu, he is my brother, can you ask the general to be merciful for my sake."

Tu Hu let go of his hand, took a step back, and bowed in return: "I dare not obey my orders."

As soon as he withdrew his hand, the long-faced warrior suddenly felt his shoulders loosen, and then he stood up straight, panting heavily, glaring at Tu Hu angrily, as if he was about to pounce.

"Nicholas, don't be presumptuous. Do you know who he is? He is the number one expert under my father's tent, the one I told you about, who killed the Sasanian Prince Alpha and the tenth prince outside the city of Axum with bare hands. The invincible warriors of the Sasanian warriors." Sun Feng stopped Nicholas with savage words, and when he mentioned Tu Hu's heroic deeds, Nicholas was suddenly dumbfounded.They once heard from Sun Feng that there was a warrior from the State of Yue who killed the famous Sasanian Prince Alpha with his bare hands outside the city of Axum. They still didn't believe it at the time, but they didn't expect that they would personally experience Tu Hu's astonishing force today. .

"This is your confidant?" Sun Shao looked at the terrified Teutonic warriors, smiled triumphantly, and turned to Sun Feng and said.Sun Feng nodded, "They are all brothers who lived and died with me, and please forgive them for their disrespect."

"You really regard them as brothers?" Sun Shao frowned.Sun Feng was taken aback, didn't know what Sun Shao meant, but without the slightest hesitation, nodded and said: "Yes, I regard them as brothers, and they also regard me as brothers, no matter what danger there is, they never frown. "

Sun Shao squinted his eyes and looked at Sun Feng carefully for a while, the smile on his face gradually faded away, his eyes became cold, and he turned to Nicholas and others to look back and forth, the Teutonic warrior looked at him. The momentum was wrong, they all surrounded Sun Feng, protected him tightly, and watched the tiger warriors around him vigilantly.Although they were in a bad situation, there was no trace of timidity on their faces.

Sun Shao beckoned, called the interpreter who had just arrived, and shouted in a deep voice: "Tell them, they dare to make a loud noise outside my tent and fight with my guards. They have committed a capital crime. Now my crown prince says they are His brothers, to intercede for them, you ask them if they are his brothers."

The interpreter hastily translated.When the Teutons heard this, they surrounded Sun Feng even tighter. Nicholas shouted loudly: "We dare not call the centurion brothers, but we are not afraid of any enemies. If the king of Yue wants to punish us, please do it immediately." If you want to embarrass the centurion, then kill us first."

Sun Shao listened to the translation, snorted coldly, pulled out the long sword with a clang, flipped his wrist, and before Nicholas could react, the long sword had already rested on his shoulder.

"Kneel down!" Sun Shao shouted.

Nicholas was furious, and he reached out to draw his knife, but was held down by Sun Feng.Sun Feng separated from the crowd, walked in front of Sun Shao, knelt on the ground with one leg, lowered his head, and held the long sword on Nicholas' shoulder with both hands: "Father, I didn't explain the situation to them in advance, those who don't know Not guilty, if the king wants to punish them, please punish me."

Sun Shao glanced at him, then glanced at those Teutonic people who knelt down one after another but were still angry, put the long sword on Nicholas' shoulder again, and shouted word by word: "My prince is willing To die for you, are you willing to die for him?"

The interpreter immediately translated his words.After hearing this, Nicholas raised his head and said loudly, "I am willing!"

"Are you willing to be loyal to him forever, to regard him as master, to regard his friends as friends and his enemies as enemies, to fight to the end, and never back down?"

Nicholas was even more angry, and he shouted without thinking: "Yes. I swear in the name of Odin to be loyal to him and never back down."

Sun Shao smiled, and stretched out his hand to point to Master Sima who had been watching: "Remember my order. I, the king of Yue, made Nicholas the Teutonic knight and enjoyed two hundred households in the city. I entrusted him to serve my descendants. May my Great Han God of War Chiyou and Teutonic God of War Odin bless him, may he be invincible in all battles and invincible in all attacks, and let all the enemies fear in front of him."

There was no general translator this time. Sun Feng translated it himself, and then looked at Nicholas happily. Nicholas was dumbfounded when he heard it, and the anger on his face disappeared. He immediately fell to the ground and knocked hard twice. Then he kissed Sun Shao's sword with trembling lips, turned around, and gave Sun Feng a respectful salute, put his hand on his heart, and said word by word: "Teuton knight Nicholas, In the name of the Great Han God of War Chi You and the Teutonic God of War, I swear to my death allegiance to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of the Great Han State of Yue."

He spoke very solemnly, even though the name Chi You sounded weird in his mouth, none of them laughed, they all looked at the scene in front of them seriously.Lu Xun, Sima Shi and others knew that Sun Feng's position as crown prince was as stable as Mount Tai. After more than ten years of careful training by Sun Shao, plus the experience of going out for the past few years, Sun Feng was already a qualified heir. Sun Shaoce sealed these conditions. The Dun people are to cultivate power for him, so that all those who covet the crown prince should stop thinking about it.

After Nicholas took the oath, Sun Shao went on to seal the remaining twelve people. When the Teutonic warriors heard that Sun Feng was the prince of Yue, they were surprised and worried. Since Sun Feng is the prince of Yue, Sooner or later, he will go back to the Yue Kingdom. They can no longer fight with Sun Feng. Now that Sun Shaoce has made them knights and enjoys food like the heroes of the Yue Kingdom, they will never have to be separated from Sun Feng. This is better than rewarding them The food town has to excite them, not to mention the food town of two hundred households is an unimaginable wealth for them.The Teutons lived by war and plunder. Except for the tribal leaders, ordinary people had very limited wealth. Now each of them had a tax of two hundred households, which was something they never dared to imagine before.

The one who was most excited was Sun Feng. He knew exactly the intention behind Sun Shao's move. He knew that at this moment, he was his father's proud son.

"Father—" Sun Feng was inexplicably grateful.

"You are the prince of Yue, don't act like a child." Sun Shao said seriously: "Go, call Stiliko here."

Sun Feng agreed, turned around and gave instructions to Nicholas, and Nicholas turned and hurried away.After a short time, Stilicho rushed over with Nicholas while wiping his sweat, glanced at Sun Feng who was still immersed in excitement, grinned helplessly, and walked up to Sun Shao just as he was about to salute, Sun Shao stretched out his hand to support him, and said with a smile: "Leader, thank you for taking care of my son. I have some things to discuss with you. Please come here late at night. I hope I didn't disturb your rest."

Stiliko laughed awkwardly, how could he sleep.After returning to the tent, the more he thought about it, the more he felt suspicious. Sun Feng went to see Sun Shao according to his request and never came back. He didn't know what happened. He had already guessed some of the appearance that came out.When he thought that he actually used the dignified prince of Yue as a centurion, he felt guilty for a while.

However, on the way here, he had already heard from Nicholas about Sun Shao making them knights, and he had some confidence in his heart. Seeing that Sun Shao was so polite, most of his heart had already fallen to the ground, and he quickly followed Sun Shao into the university. account.

Lu Xun smiled at Sun Feng, and gestured sideways: "Your Highness, let's stop standing outside, and go sit in the tent."

Sun Feng put away his smile, bowed and said: "Uncle has an order, how dare you refuse." Turning around, he said to Master Sima: "Mr. Sima, please sit in the tent together."

Master Sima looked enviously at Sun Feng, then at the happy Teutonic people behind him, and secretly sighed, Sun Shao was really kind to his prince, and in order to cultivate his son's strength, he sealed the thirteenth son in one go. A Tinghou, these barbarians will not only follow Sun Feng in the future?On the other hand, my father and son, after arriving in the Yue Kingdom, my father Sima Yi kept a low profile and didn't allow himself to show off. Barbarians also enjoy two hundred households.

When Sun Feng invited him, he naturally couldn't wait for it, so he quickly smiled and said, "Please, Your Highness." He smiled kindly at Nicholas and gestured.Nicholas and others followed Sun Feng with their heads held high and walked into the big tent next to them. Lu Xun arranged for someone to re-prepare wine and food for Sun Feng to celebrate. Although the Teutons could not understand what they were talking about, they looked at Sun Feng Feng's face knew that it was definitely not a bad thing, and the smell of wine that was full of bills made them addicted, so they seized the opportunity to drink to their heart's content.

Sun Shao and Stiliko sat opposite each other, and Sun Shao poured a cup of strong tea for Stiliko himself, "Leader, take a sip and see, it's a bit bitter in your mouth, but it tastes good after you drink it, especially if you just drink it." Drink this after drinking, not only to get rid of greasy, but also to hangover."

Stiliko was a little flattered, thanked again and again with a smile on his face, took a big sip from the bowl with both hands, grinned from the scalding, and was embarrassed to spit out the tea, the bitter and hot tea made him very embarrassed, sorry Glancing at Sun Shao, Sun Shao held up the tea bowl as a gesture, and said apologetically, "I forgot to tell the leader, this tea is very hot, so be careful."

Stilicho took a lot of effort to swallow the tea, then wiped his mouth wide, and said cheerfully, "It really is bitter and fragrant, miraculous, miraculous, no wonder those Romans like to drink this."

Sun Shao smiled. Of course he knew how much tea was sold to Rome every year. Tea, silk, spices, and lacquerware were the four commodities in short supply. The supply exceeded demand, and they belonged to a standard seller's market.

"Does your tribe also sell tea?" Sun Shao said intentionally or unintentionally, purely as if chatting about family affairs.Stiliko was not worried about him, and shook his head again and again: "It's very rare, even if I have it, I can't afford it. To tell you the truth, my tribe is limited in size, and I don't have much other livelihoods except fighting, so I can't get along with other tribes." Than. I only drank this kind of tea once when Lord Gordian was treating guests."

"Oh, that's right." Sun Shao smiled, and said generously: "Chief, I am grateful to you for taking care of my prince and marrying my daughter to him. If the boss likes this tea, I can I’ll give you some every year, just to show my heart.”

After listening to the interpreter's translation, Stilicho didn't react for a while, and looked at Sun Shao in a daze.For the Teutons, only brave warriors are valuable, and the same is true for women. Unless they are brave warriors, no matter how beautiful they are, they can only be robbed by others. It is not that he married his daughter to Sun Feng. Because he valued Sun Feng, but because Sun Feng was good at martial arts, he grabbed it.He was originally worried that Sun Shao would be unhappy, but now Sun Shao actually wants to thank him and give him tea, and what's even more ridiculous is to give him tea every year. This is a huge windfall from the sky. If those tea leaves change hands, but Something worth more than gold.Gold may be found by chance, but tea is a rare commodity that money cannot buy.

"Your Majesty..." Stiliko swallowed, rubbed his hands together and said, "This... is this true?"

"Of course it's true." Sun Shao said with a smile: "According to what we Han people say, you and I are in-laws and a family now. If I don't help you, who will help you? You know, my son will be a king sooner or later Yes, when the time comes, the entire Yue Kingdom will be his, and you will be the elder of the King of Yue, so what is a little tea?"

In terms of strength, Stiliko may still be able to compete with Sun Shao. In terms of eloquence, Stiliko is not even as good as a child in front of Sun Shao. It didn't take long for Stiliko to be stunned by Sun Shaokan. All glittering gold coins dangled in front of his eyes, and he nodded whenever Sun Shao said anything, for fear that Sun Shao would go back on his word if he hesitated.

After drinking half an hour of tea, the Teutonics have become staunch allies of the Yue Kingdom, and Stiliko's chest thumped loudly. From now on, the Teutonics will be the most loyal warriors of the King of Yue. Wherever the King of Yue points, we will fight Where, the enemy of King Yue is the enemy of Stilicho, the enemy of our Teutons, even if we chase him to the sky, we must crush him to ashes, so that his mother will not recognize him.

It took Sun Shao a lot of effort to hold back his laughter.It's really unexpected that a little bit of petty profit turned the well-known Teutonic into his own thugs.There is really nothing impossible, only unexpected.Thinking of the times when the descendants of these Germanic people arrogantly thought that they were the only ones who were superior, Sun Shao couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. In this world, heroes are judged by success or failure, and only those unfilial descendants would hug their ancestors brilliance to cover up his incompetence.It is not a shame that the Germanic people used to be barbarians. Their descendants worked hard and became superior people, while those ancient civilizations slowly sank in glory, and gradually they were only left to be recognized when they traced history. When one thinks of it, how sad it is.

Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement.Sun Shao is both sentimental and proud. I have changed the fate of the big man, right?At least it prevented the killing of each other among the three kingdoms, and now I have brought the most powerful force of this era here to compete with Rome and Sassanid. full of glory.

More importantly, I have achieved this glorious goal, and I am bringing the big man back to glory step by step.

Sun Shao's chest was full of great pride.
