Han Shimou

~After the war, Cao Cao conferred meritorious service, including Sun Jian as Yangzhou Shepherd, his son Sun Ce as Jiujiang Prefect, Zhou Yu as Kuaiji Prefect, Zhou Tai, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao and other Jiangdong officers and soldiers also received awards.As for Liu Bei and other civil and military forces, Cao Cao also made rewards for each of them, but the rewards for Liu Bei's faction were far less generous than those of Sun Jian's faction.Zhang Fei was quite critical of this, and even a few times when he couldn't bear the impulsive temper, he asked Cao Cao for a theory, but Liu Bei tried his best to stop him.

The power of Yuan Shu, the giant southern crocodile, was officially declared dead, and most of his soldiers and territories were divided by Cao Cao and Sun Jian.Nanyang and Runan counties fell into the hands of Cao Cao. As for Sun Jian, he reaped a lot of money and took over all of Yangzhou.In the annihilation of Yuan Shu, Liu Bei also made a lot of contributions. Except for some titles and vain titles, he hardly received any actual rewards, not even an inch of land.

Liu Bei had no choice but to endure this. After all, unlike Sun Jian, he had nearly [-] soldiers. At present, his power had less than [-] soldiers.Moreover, Liu Bei faintly felt the hostility from Cao Cao.At this time, once Yuan Shu was destroyed, Cao Cao's power would expand to the south, and the next person he would deal with would most likely be himself. As soon as the battle of < was over, he sent to Cao.

"Hehe. It seems that Liu Xuande has already discovered the hostility of the lord. He rushed back to Xuzhou in such a hurry. He must seize the time to guard against the lord's army."

Not long after Liu Bei left, Guo Jia's unrestrained figure appeared, with Cao Cao's back on his back, although he didn't see anyone, but when he heard the wild laughter, Cao Cao knew who was coming.

"Feng Xiao, Liu Daer is not an idler, but he has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness. There are countless fierce generals around him, and he has accumulated a lot of money. Given time, he will be able to soar into the sky. If he doesn't take advantage of his great momentum, he will be killed. If it is destroyed, there will be endless troubles."

"My lord thinks highly of this man. It's a pity that Liu Xuande doesn't have great strategy and talent around him, so it's doomed that he won't be able to achieve great success. Moreover, Liu Xuande met the lord when he was in his prime. Not good."

Guo Jia walked lightly with a faint smile, Cao Cao turned around slowly, his eyes twinkled brightly.

"Time, luck, and fate. Everyone's fate is full of variables, and how can it be as good as people's calculations? Although you and I have carefully arranged, I always feel that Liu Xuande's fortune is never ending."

"Oh? Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son have been persuaded by the lord to vote. The Xuzhou Chen family is so powerful that it can be said to be powerful. Chen Yuanlong is even more resourceful. With the help of the two of them, how can Liu Xuande survive?" ?”

Guo Jia's bright eyes full of wisdom opened slightly, and Guo Jia asked with a bit of surprise.Cao Cao just smiled lightly, and then replied.

"It's nonsense. I just feel that way."

"Feel?"

Guo Jia murmured quietly, and then the two of them stopped talking, as if they were both thinking about something.

At the same time, outside Tancheng in the East China Sea, Cao Jun was swarming towards Tancheng like a huge wave. Teams of Cao Jun either climbed the ladder, or lifted wooden stakes to smash the city wall, the city gate, or The shield wall is piled up to resist the arrows shot densely under the city wall, as well as the falling logs and boulders.

On the city wall of Tancheng, Tai Shici's face was extremely dignified. Cao's army had been attacking for more than ten days in a row, and nearly half of the [-] soldiers and horses under his command had been consumed.If there is no more reinforcements to rescue, Tancheng will be defeated by Cao Jun in a few days!

"Come here!! Why hasn't there been a reply from Guangling!!!"

Tai Shici suddenly shouted together, and a soldier rushed to reply.

"General Taishi, according to your order, the last general has sent three teams to Guangling for several days. But for some reason, there has been no reply from Guangling. General Taishi, don't worry, maybe Chen Zhubo is already raising troops. It will arrive later!"

"Bastard! The military situation is urgent now, and Tancheng is at stake. The longer the war drags on, the more dangerous it will be! You quickly write another letter, lead the army to Guangling personally, and tell Chen Yuanlong that if his troops haven't arrived in five days , Tancheng will definitely be captured by Cao Jun!!"

Tai Shici stared at the tiger, and roared sharply, his tone full of impatience.

"Hey! The last general will prepare immediately!"

"There is no delay, after half an hour, I will lead the army to cover for you!"

Although Tai Shici didn't appear to be too flustered on the surface, he was actually very anxious inside.Based on the battle situation at this time, Tancheng would be lucky if he could hold out for three days, not to mention sticking to it for five days.The soldier hurriedly received the order, and quickly left, Tai Shici squinted his eyes, and called two more soldiers to take charge of the command. After giving the order, Tai Shici hurriedly ordered several teams of soldiers to accompany him He left the city wall together, and went down to the city to prepare for going out of the city to cover things later.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the east gate of Tancheng, which was attacked by fewer Cao soldiers, suddenly opened.Tai Shici led a thousand cavalry troops to rush out suddenly, and rushed to the outside of the city to kill Cao Jun impressively.Cao Jun outside the city saw the city gate open, and the wave of Cao Jun who was closest to the city gate rushed towards the city gate crazily. Inside, stab anyone you see, just like entering a land where no one is there.The spear danced in Tai Shici's hands, and the Cao soldiers around him let out screams, and blood flew, and Tai Shici rushed from left to right, killing all directions.Under Tai Shici's bravery, Cao Jun's crowd was quickly broken through, and the cavalry behind him rushed wildly. A spear with a handle was galloping on horseback, stabbing everywhere and rushing the teams. The Cao soldiers who came were killed and retreated.

While Tai Shici led the army to break through the Cao army, a group of Qingqi took the opportunity to take the road to an open space.When several generals of Cao Jun found out, they immediately guessed that this Qingqi was going to rescue soldiers, and quickly ordered the soldiers to stop it.Taishi Ci's tiger eyes burst out with a few flashes of light, swung his spear and swirled, and after killing the surrounding Cao soldiers, he drew his bow and shot arrows, and the three arrows moved with the bowstring.Tai Shici yelled '';'', and then the first arrow shot out suddenly, hitting the heart of one of the generals, Cao Jiang.Afterwards, Tai Shici yelled the word 'zhe' again, and the second arrow flew through the air, like a thunderbolt, hitting the head of another general Cao.

Tai Shici shot and killed two Cao generals in an instant, and the other Cao general, who was directing the soldiers to stop the Qingqi, was frightened out of his wits.

"Cowardless bastard! Where are you going! Take your life!"

Taishi's compassionate voice was like thunder, and the third arrow was shot out quickly, and the arrow flew through the air, so fast that it was difficult to see its shadow, Cao Jiang was caught up by the arrow shortly after he fled, and he had no time to dodge , the arrow pierced through the armor behind him with a bang, and flew out through his heart.

Tai Shici's archery skills were superb, and he intimidated the audience. The remaining Cao generals in the arena did not dare to say another word, for fear of being stared at by Tai Shici's terrifying tiger eyes.

On the other side of the battlefield, Cao soldiers came to report to Xia Houyuan, saying that a group of light cavalry had escaped from the east gate, and because an enemy general who was good at archery was covering up, the soldiers at the east gate were unstoppable. I'm afraid that the team of Qingqi will escape ten miles away from Tancheng soon, and it will be difficult to chase.

"The general who is good at arrows seems to be Tai Shici."

Xia Houyuan murmured, and the image of him competing with Taishi Ci in an arrow match immediately appeared in his mind. Xia Houyuan smiled, and then ordered a cavalry team to follow him to the east gate.

After half a stick of incense, Tai Shici was still leading the army to fight at the east gate, seeing the light cavalry team behind him fleeing into a dense forest, he was about to withdraw his troops and return to the city.Suddenly, there was a loud sound of piercing through the air, Tai Shici's expression changed immediately, and he immediately swung his spear and stabbed in the back.

With a bang, the spear collided violently with an extremely fast unknown object.Then the unknown object exploded, countless sawdust bounced off, Tai Shici's pupils shrank suddenly, he retracted the spear, quickly picked up the bow and arrow, and fired three arrows at the position where the unknown object flew from just now.

The three arrows lined up and flew away, piercing straight towards Xia Houyuan's position.Xia Houyuan was grinning, and also fired three arrows, the arrows collided with each other, and the six arrows collided in the air, smashing to pieces.

"Xiahou Miaocai!"

"Taishi Ziyi!"

Tai Shici and Xia Houyuan uttered each other's name almost at the same time. At the same time, their tiger eyes were furious, their aura became stronger and stronger, and they both exuded an astonishing mighty aura.

After the words were finished, the two of them moved so quickly that their hands were soaring, and within a short time, five arrows appeared on the bowstrings of both of them, and both bowstrings were under their tiger arms, stretching like a full moon , making a 'buzzing' noise!

Both Tai Shici and Xia Houyuan swung their bows sideways, and let go of their five fingers almost at the same time. The five arrows in their bows flew through the air like thunder and lightning.

Whoosh! ! !

The five arrows fired by the two of them all formed a horizontal plane and went towards the air. The soldiers around quickly avoided them, lest they would be affected by these ten arrows.In an instant, the ten arrows collided violently, and there were seven or eight loud noises, as if a giant hammer was hitting the sky and the earth frequently.At the same time as the arrows shattered, gusts of hurricanes followed, and several of them flew past. Two arrows were shot at the opposite side of Tai Shici. Tai Shici swayed and avoided Open, two arrows grazed the armor on his body, and two sparks exploded.As for Xia Houyuan's side, an arrow flew towards him with an astonishing speed. Xia Houyuan shouted loudly, and quickly grabbed the gun stuck in the ground beside him, and pierced the arrow that was shot.Even so, the strength of the arrows shot by Tai Shici was terrifying, Xia Houyuan's complexion changed slightly, the tiger's mouth in his big gun-wielding hand split open, and there were bursts of severe pain.

Tai Shici and Xia Houyuan looked at each other from a distance. In the competition just now, neither of them had an advantage. In terms of archery attainments, the two were evenly matched.

After a while, two sharp and torrential auras suddenly erupted from the majestic bodies of Tai Shici and Xia Houyuan. Tai Shici took out a huge arrow from the quiver behind his back. This big arrow was several times thicker than ordinary arrows. , was specially created by Tai Shici.On the opposite side, Xia Houyuan also grabbed a handful of small arrows from a grid in the quiver on his back. These small arrows are smaller than ordinary arrows, and they were specially made by Xia Houyuan.

The two of them put up their bows and arrows one after another, their aura grew stronger and stronger, and their mutual momentum suddenly rose. In the eyes of the two of them, they saw countless purple beams of light gathered from the bow and arrow in Tai Shici's hand, turning into a huge purple kun roc.At the same time, it seemed that countless wolves roared faintly. On Xiahouyuan's bow, huge black wolves galloped towards them, howling upwards.

Tai Shici yanked the bowstring, and a big arrow flew out from the string. The Zikun Dapeng then spread its wings and rushed towards Xiahouyuan like lightning.
