The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 84

Sun Shao was very grateful to Chen Hai and Zhou Yin. He had good skills, but lacked actual combat experience. If Chen Hai and the others hadn't been training with him for more than a month, he would not be Guan Feng's opponent anyway.

The two of them tried their best, you come and go, fists whistling, swords whistling, radiant, all the people around opened their mouths in amazement.Zhang Cheng was secretly glad that although he didn't know the real intention of Sun Shao's visit, but Sun Shao took the initiative to provoke him, he roughly guessed some meaning, so he didn't say anything to stop him. When Sun Shao knocked down Guan Ping with one punch, He was still very proud, but as soon as Guan Yu made a move, he drove Sun Shao to a dead end, scaring him enough.Now that Sun Shao and Guan Feng are evenly divided, he is finally relieved, but his heart is still hanging in the air.

Although he knew that Sun Quan had been suppressing Sun Shao, he knew that if Sun Shao was injured or even died, he would bear all the responsibility. Sun Quan would definitely punish him severely while secretly happy, to show his respect Sun Shao's love and affection.

So he looked at the two people who were fighting in the arena, and he didn't even dare to blink his eyes.

Guan Yu is a battle-tested man, and his eyesight is not comparable to that of a Confucian scholar like Zhang Cheng.As soon as the two fought, he could tell that Sun Shao and Guan Feng were roughly brothers, and they seemed to be fighting fiercely, but their subordinates were all measured, and there was no life-and-death fight.Looking at Sun Shao with piercing eyes and concentrated on attacking Guan Feng, Guan Yu stroked his beard and showed a rare smile of appreciation.

"Father..." Guan Ping clutched his chest, moved to Guan Yu's side, and said with concern, "Sister, will you be okay?"

Guan Yu snorted, seemingly displeased, but still happy for Guan Ping's concern for Guan Feng. "Why is something wrong with your sister? It's you, you really give me face, and you can be knocked down in one round."

Guan Ping lowered his head in shame: "My son is incompetent, please punish him."

"Forget it, it's really rare for this son to be able to fight against Yinping and not lose until now." Guan Yu's tone eased a little, and he said to himself: "I never thought that Sun Ce would have such a son."

"General..." Bie Jia's Yin Guan and Zhizhong's Pan Jun hurried over, saw the two fighting in the field, and hurriedly walked up to Guan Yu to salute.

"Kong Xiu (Yin Guan's character), Cheng Ming (Pan Jun's character), why are you here?"

Yin Guan gave a wry smile, and pointed to the crowds who gathered more and more. "General, I'm afraid most of Xiangyang City knows about it now. If we don't know about it, wouldn't we be extremely dereliction of duty?"

Guan Yu let out an "ah", and then he came to his senses. Just now, he only paid attention to watching Sun Shao and Guan Feng fight, but forgot the whole story.Unknowingly, the front of the prefect's mansion has become a bustling market, and the crowded crowd are pointing and commenting on Sun Shao and Guan Feng.This was really outrageous, he raised his hand to shout, but the winner was already decided in the field, and Sun Shao slightly had the upper hand.Both of them took a few steps back at the same time, held their sabers upside down, and bowed to salute.

"Sun Jun is highly skilled in martial arts, Feng admires him."

"Holding and letting, you are worthy of being General Guan's tiger girl, a veritable heroine, and Sun Shao admires it."

Guan Yu heaved a sigh of relief, but refused to lose face, snorted, turned and went back to the mansion.Yin Guan and Pan Jun glanced at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and turned to salute Zhang Cheng.Yin Guan and Pan Jun's eyes lit up when Zhang Cheng reported his name.

"It turned out to be Zhang Zhongsi of Pengcheng. He has heard about his name for a long time, and he has heard about his name for a long time."

Zhang Cheng smiled. Although he is not an official, his reputation among scholars is very good, but he is useless in front of people like Guan Yu.He hastily said a few words of humility, and praised: "Yin Kongxiu in Xiangyang, and Pan Chengming in Wuling, the names of both of them are very famous to me."

"Hahaha..." The three of them laughed in unison.

"Two gentlemen, the two envoys from Jiangdong invite the two gentlemen to receive you. Feng will leave first." Guan Fengqiao blushed, bowed a little embarrassedly, and left in a hurry.Yin Guan quickly invited Zhang Cheng into the mansion, sat down in the side room, asked why he was here, and then thought for a while and said, "Your envoy, please sit down for a while, I will come as soon as I go." After speaking, he winked at Pan Jun, The two went out together.

Zhang Cheng looked at Sun Shao, who was covered in sweat, and said with a smile, "Fengxian, I didn't expect you to disturb me, but there is a turning point."

Sun Shao waved his hands again and again: "Brother Zhong Si, don't blame me, I'm a person who can't bear anger. At that time, I was indignant for a moment, and I didn't care about it. Fortunately, no major events were broken. It was a fluke."

Zhang Cheng didn't say much, just looked at Sun Shao with a smile on his face, and after a while, he said, "Actually, that's fine too. You're too polite to an arrogant person like Guan Yu, but he doesn't take you seriously. As long as you show your skills, he may be able to think highly of you. You did the right thing today, and when I go back, I will definitely ask the Supreme for your credit."

Sun Shao laughed: "I don't care if the meritorious service is not meritorious. I am already very satisfied that Brother Zhong Si didn't clean up the mess."

Zhang Cheng didn't answer his words, and said with a faint smile: "Don't take it easy, in my opinion, General Guan will try your knowledge later."

"Try to learn, let's try to learn. Is it possible that Zhang Gong's family biography Zuo Chuan Chunqiu will lose to a martial artist?" Sun Shao winked at Zhang Cheng, and the two smiled knowingly.Zhang Cheng suddenly had some doubts. Could it be that Sun Shao worked so hard all the way to compete with Guan Yu in Confucian classics?But how did he know that Guan Yu passed Zuo Chuan Chunqiu?
Guan Yu was sitting high in the hall, his face was full of anger. Yin Guan and Pan Jun knelt in front of him, trying to persuade him.

"General, Jiangdong has such a kind intention, it is a great opportunity for the general, why do you want to reject people thousands of miles away?"

"What kind of a good opportunity is this?" Guan Yu said angrily, "Could it be that marrying my daughter to an eight-year-old baby is like climbing a dragon and a phoenix? Not to mention that his grandson's family is not a dragon and a phoenix, even if it is, do I, Guan Yu, need to trade my daughter for my future?" ?”

Yin Guan shook his head, and said calmly: "General, I'm not talking about this good opportunity. How can a hero, General, do such a thing? I'm talking about a good opportunity for General to serve General Zuo."

Upon hearing that it was related to Liu Bei, Guan Yu calmed down. He twirled his beard and pondered for a moment, "What does this have to do with General Zuo?"

"The general doesn't know. General Zhang and Zhang Yun have been confronting each other in Bajun for more than a month. The restlessness in Shu has not been a day or two. Xia Houyuan has a large army in Hanzhong, and he has long wanted to plan for Shu. General Zuo will just sit idly by. ?At this time, General Zuo must not want the general to have disputes with Jiangdong, so that he can try his best to fight Xiahouyuan, stabilize Bashu, and then regain Hanzhong."

Although Guan Yu didn't take it seriously, the anger on his face faded a little.

"Originally we had to beware of sneak attacks from Jiangdong, but now Cao Cao is advancing eastward in a big way, and the battle with Jiangdong is imminent. At this time, Sun Quan took the initiative to send people to propose marriage and show favor to me in order to ensure the safety of the western front. This is exactly what General Zuo wanted. General If he refuses, Sun Quan will be furious, and he may rise up in anger, and General Zuo will be disappointed if he finds out about it in the future."

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, feeling that what Yin Guan said made some sense.

"Furthermore, General Zuo is a member of the royal family. Your Majesty has been humiliated by the rebel Cao Cao. General Zuo must feel the same and want to repay it day and night. At this time, let Sun Quan fight Cao Cao with peace of mind. This is a great opportunity to regain Hanzhong and enter Guanzhong. .Once the western front is won, the general can go north to the Central Plains and build an indelible feat. At that time, Sun Quan will be supported by the eastern front, and the three routes will advance together to destroy Cao Cao. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Guan Yu nodded again and again, but when he thought of marrying his daughter to Sun Deng's eight-year-old baby, he became unhappy again.

"Why should the general be worried?" Pan Jun smiled and said, "Sun Deng is only eight years old. Even if he agrees, he won't be able to get married right now. Why don't the general use this as an excuse to postpone the date. After a few years, who can say what the world will be like?" What is it like? Besides, the marriage with Jiangdong, whether it is successful or not, does not need the general to come forward. They are going to Chengdu. Wouldn't it be better for General Zuo to answer them? Considering the general's love for daughters, if this is the case, the general's loyalty will not be compromised, and the marriage may not be possible."

Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, and then smiled comfortably.

Yin Guan and Pan Jun withdrew, while arranging for Zhang Cheng and the others to conduct a pass on customs, while preparing wine to entertain Zhang Cheng.At the banquet, they talked a lot, so naturally there is no need to repeat them.Guan Yu was not present, and he was not interested in the exchanges between these scribes. He just asked Guan Ping and Liao Hua to accompany him.He went back to the backyard by himself, but saw Guan Fengqing standing in the porch, the blush on his face was still there, and when he saw him, he pursed his lips and smiled.

Guan Yu frowned in confusion: "Yinping, what are you happy about?"

Guan Feng showed two shallow dimples on her cheeks, she came up to support Guan Yu's arm: "Father, Jiangdong's envoy has made arrangements?"

"Why do I need to arrange these, just leave it to Yin Guan and the others, and let them go west tomorrow." Guan Yu waved his hand and said lightly: "Pan Jun said that General Zuo will consider it. one time."

Guan Feng blinked, her long eyelashes flickering, hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Father, that... Didn't Sun Shao say that it is okay to compete in literature and martial arts? Is it?"

Guan Yu was taken aback, turned to look at Guan Feng, hesitated for a while before saying, "What do you think?"
