The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 106
General Zhengdong Zhang Liao heard Cao Cao's summons and rushed there with his son Zhang Hu and tribune supervisor Zhang Wei. When he saw Cao Cao with a smile on his face, Zhang Liao was a little surprised and hurried forward to salute: "General Zhengdong, Chen Liao, have you seen me?" Prime Minister, His Royal Highness King Wei."

"Wen Yuan, your reputation spreads far and wide in Jiangdong." Cao Cao was in a good mood. He walked up to Zhang Liao and said, "Sun Quan was gutted by you, and now he wants to seek revenge from you. You have confidence." Fight?"

Zhang Liao was a little complacent, but also a little baffled. He tentatively asked, "Your Highness, what... is this all about?"

Cao Cao laughed, stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, motioning for Liu Ye to explain the situation.Zhang Liao couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said proudly: "As long as His Highness orders, I will go to the front of the battle, cut off the head of this ignorant Lizi, and present it to Your Highness."

Cao Cao glanced at Zhang Liao calmly, rolled his eyes, and said, "Do you know what's unusual about this Sun Shao?"

Zhang Liao thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know, please ask Your Highness for guidance."

"General, this Sun Shao is Sun Ce's only son." Liu Ye interjected, "He is 19 years old and has never been an official. At the beginning of the year, he just married Guan Feng, Guan Yu's daughter."

"Guan Yu's daughter?" Zhang Liao froze for a moment, caressing with two big rough hands, a little embarrassed.Sun Shao didn't care about him, he would kill him if he killed him, but Guan Yu and him had a very good friendship. When Guan Yu was in Cao Ying, the two were like brothers. But the feeling from back then is still there, if he is asked to kill Sun Shao now, he will feel sorry for his old friend.But this kind of mood just passed by, and he raised his head and said with a smile: "Although he is Yun Chang's son-in-law, he is also a child of the Sun family. Since he dares to come and fight, I can't be polite."

"Otherwise." Liu Ye shook his head and smiled meaningfully: "General, why don't you think about it, why did Sun Quan send Sun Shao to challenge?"

Zhang Liao was puzzled, thought for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Could it be?"

"Exactly." Cao Cao interjected and sneered: "Sun Zhongmou won his brother's foundation, but he was worried about his brother's orphan. He was afraid of taking the bad name, but wanted to borrow my knife. Hmm, is he an idiot for being an old man?" ?”

"But..." Zhang Liao was in a bit of a dilemma: "In this pre-formation fight, you can't deliberately give in. That would have a great impact on the morale of our army."

"You don't need to give in, just defeat him. It's okay to hurt him, but don't hurt his life." Cao Cao waved his hand and said indisputably, "It's better to keep him than to kill him."

Zhang Liao understood, and bowed to the order: "I accept the order."

"Go." Cao Cao waved his hand, turned to Liu Ye and said, "Please come and watch the battle with me, and see if Sun Shao is like his father."

Liu Ye agreed, and turned around to make arrangements.Zhang Liao went out of the camp, led Zhang Hu, Zhang Wei and others, returned to the camp, put on armor and armed with halberds, and brought his personal guard Qu to the front of the battle.Cao Jun, who was guarding the riverside, had already received the news and let Sun Shao and the other three go ashore.Sun Shao rode a tall fiery red horse, held a halberd in one hand, pointed at the sky obliquely, and galloped back and forth in front of the formation with his tall and strong body straight.The majestic horse of Chitu and Sun Shao's heroic figure are really like a tiger, a horse like a dragon, majestic and majestic, and anyone who sees it will have to applaud, what a young hero.

Zhang Liao's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and suddenly he thought of something, and his face changed suddenly.

Zhang Hu saw the change in Zhang Liao's expression, and quickly asked, "Ah, what's wrong?"

Zhang Liao did not speak, but stared at Sun Shao in the distance, suddenly lowered his head and rubbed his eyes: "The wind blows, and my eyes feel uncomfortable." Zhang Hu looked up at the direction of the wind, and felt that something was wrong. The northwest wind, blowing from behind, is not strong, how could it be uncomfortable.He didn't say a word, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Ah Weng, why don't you let me meet him."

Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Be careful, this son is very skilled in martial arts, don't underestimate the enemy."

Before Zhang Hu could speak, Zhang Wei snorted disapprovingly, cupped his hands and said, "Young General, why bother you to fight? Leave this unknown man to me. In my opinion, this stick is not worth mentioning. Only That horse is still very attractive, when I go up and snatch it, I will present it to the general."

Zhang Liao glanced at him, and said seriously, "You underestimate the enemy, how can you fight? It's a minor matter for you to die in battle, but it's a major matter for hurting our army's morale. You only know that the horse is good, but do you know the origin of the horse?"

Zhang Wei blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"I think this horse looks familiar, it seems...it seems to be the red rabbit that Marquis Wen rode before." Zhang Liao looked at Sun Shao who was still screaming in the distance and muttered to himself, "According to the calculation, that horse has already Old, but the horse later returned to Guan Yu, Guan Yu is the recipient of the horse, it is impossible not to use it for breeding, this horse is tall, with slender limbs and strong limbs, it looks very similar to the blood of the red rabbit."

"Marquis Wen Lu Bu?" Zhang Hu suddenly understood why Zhang Liao lost his composure just now.Wen Hou Lv Bu is Zhang Liao's old master, and Zhang Liao is also a teacher and friend. When Zhang Liao first entered Ding Yuan's tent, Lv Bu taught him martial arts, and then he continued to fight with Lv Bu. Baimenlou Lv Bu was captured by Cao Cao, Gao Shun calmly He died, but Zhang Liao was unwilling to end his life, so he surrendered to Cao Cao.He has repeatedly made military exploits under Cao Cao's tent, and now he has been promoted to the position of General Zhengdong.Now that he sees the horse that resembles the Chitu, he may think of Lu Bu again.

In fact, Zhang Liao's mood was far more complicated than he thought.Sun Shao is not only a portrait of a horse and Lu Bu, but also looks somewhat similar, both are very handsome. The Sun Shao in front of him, holding an iron halberd, wearing a battle armor, and a red rabbit horse under his crotch, looks like a young version of Lu Bu, and more importantly What's more, his characters are also Fengxian, which makes Zhang Liao have an illusion in a trance, as if he is not in Caoying now, but in Jiuyuan's Governor's Mansion.

"Ah Weng, since that's the case, I'll take that horse and present it to my father." Zhang Hu said loudly.

"I'll go." Zhang Wei asked again.

"Well, be careful." Zhang Liao regained his composure in a moment, nodded, and said seriously: "Be careful, and don't hurt his life. Your Majesty has orders, and it will be useful to keep him." Zhang Wei smiled disapprovingly, and urged Immediately went forward, came to the front of the formation, reined in the horse when he was a hundred steps away from Sun Shao, and shouted loudly: "I am Zhang Wei, a trilogy general of General Zhengdong, and I will give you my name."

Sun Shao was riding on the horse, feeling the beautiful rhythm brought by the elegant pace of the red rabbit horse, feeling the violence in his body that was rarely revealed at ordinary times, and the halberd with a bamboo handle tightly in his hand seemed to suddenly come to life , and his blood began to beat synchronously, rising with the pace of the red rabbit horse.His foot combat has been tested by Chen Hai, Guan Feng and others, and he already has enough confidence, but his cavalry combat pales in comparison. He has also practiced a lot, and his riding skills are also considered superb, but the chance of real combat with humans is rare. Not much, that is, I tried it with Guan Feng for a long time yesterday.However, he has his unique weapons, one is the Takahashi saddle he sits on, and the other is the stirrup that he deliberately uses a long armor skirt to block. With these two sharp weapons, he is now sitting on Chitu's back As stable as Mount Tai and full of confidence, this is the only way to close your eyes and gallop back and forth in front of thousands of Cao Jun like a leisurely stroll. While letting the violence in your chest suppress the fear in your heart, you are familiar with this beautiful feeling, and you can establish a relationship with Chituma. tacit understanding between.

Hearing General Cao's cry from the opposite side, he opened his eyes, glanced at Zhang Wei, and then looked at the general flag in front of Cao Jun, surrounded by a hundred and ten murderous soldiers under the banner like stars holding a moon. Nearly half a hundred mighty generals, by the looks of it, should be Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the head of the five good generals.Although he couldn't see his face clearly from a distance, his self-confidence and calmness were beyond what ordinary people could pretend.

Sun Shao reined in the reins, raised the iron halberd in his hand high, pumped up the energy in his dantian, and shouted: "The son of the rebellious general, Sun Shao of Wu Jun, come to challenge!"

This sound was so powerful that it overwhelmed Zhang Wei's stern shouting, and it also made Cao Jun, who was chatting with each other, quiet. Zhang Liao looked at Sun Shao in surprise, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Hu. Zhang Hu was also a little surprised. It can be heard from this shout that the young man on the opposite side is not bad.Looking at Zhang Wei in front of the formation, Zhang Liao suddenly felt ominous.

Zhang Wei was ignored intentionally or unintentionally by Sun Shao, and he was very angry. He just wanted to pick Sun Shao off his horse, and without saying a word, he urged his horse to charge forward.Seeing him start, Sun Shao didn't talk nonsense anymore, his legs hit the horse's belly, and the Chitu seemed to be connected with each other, and suddenly accelerated, increasing his speed in just a few seconds, and rushed towards Zhang Wei at lightning speed.Sun Shao sat firmly on the horse's back, bent down, let go of the reins, held the halberd in both hands, and fixed his eyes on Zhang Wei.

The distance of a hundred steps was reached in a blink of an eye, and within a few breaths, Sun Shao rushed in front of Zhang Wei with a menacing momentum.

Zhang Wei was taken aback. He suddenly realized that he had made a fatal mistake. Although Zhang Liao reminded him, he still underestimated Sun Shao, especially Sun Shao's horse.Not only is this horse tall and long-legged, it takes half as long to step out in one step as the horse he steps down, and the speed at which it starts is astonishing. It was just a jog just now, but when two steps are taken, it has turned into a gallop. Before the speed of the war horse was increased, and the iron halberd in his hand was not leveled, Sun Shao had already arrived in front of him. The sharp iron halberd reflected the cold light in the early morning sun, and awe-inspiring murderous aura rushed towards his face.

The rapid sound of horseshoes was like a fierce battle drum, which was almost in sync with Zhang Wei's beating heart, and approached at an unexpected speed. The moment the two horses crossed each other, the iron halberd in Sun Shao's hand had already stabbed Zhang Wei's chest fiercely. .The sharp iron halberd pierced the iron armor, separated the armor pieces, and pierced directly into his body.What was more fatal was not the stab wound. Zhang Wei was stabbed by the iron halberd, and his legs could no longer hold the horse. He was picked up by Sun Shao with a halberd in the air. There was a burst of pain, and Zhang Wei had not had time to throw The stabbing iron halberd held Sun Shao's halberd tightly with both hands, and let out a mournful roar.

A face-to-face meeting will determine the outcome.

Zhang Liao's face turned livid immediately, and the soldiers watching the battle were also very shocked. Zhang Wei's martial arts were all well-known to them. No one thought that he would be killed with a single halberd. Moreover, he was so clean and fast. So much so that Cao Cao and others who had just ascended to the general stage did not see the process clearly, and the first round had already had a result.

"This..." Cao Cao was very surprised, pointing at Sun Shao who was clamoring for Zhang Wei with one arm in front of the battle, speechless.

"It's unreasonable." Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and cursed, reaching out to get his iron halberd, but Zhang Hu stopped him: "Ah Weng, Zhang Wei didn't expect his horse to be so fast and hit him without being prepared. Dao, wait for me to kill and avenge Zhang Wei."

Zhang Liao's breath is a bit rough. Zhang Wei has followed him for many years and has gone through countless battles. He didn't expect to be singled out like this today. He felt ashamed and sad, but he still didn't lose his mind, and said bitterly: "Be careful. , don’t stab him in the vitals, and hurt his life.”

"Here." Zhang Hu clasped his fists in response, urged his horse to rush out of the battle formation, and stood opposite Sun Shao in front of the formation.Sun Shao, who was immersed in the joy of winning the first battle, saw someone rushing out again. With a shake of his hand, he threw the seriously injured Zhang Wei aside, and circled his horse back to the east side. He went back, leaving behind a kind of bloodstain.

"Son of General Zhengdong, Zhang Hu of Yanmen, come to fight." Zhang Hu shouted loudly, leveling the iron halberd in his hand.

Lu Yi and Gan Yu, who were watching the battle for Sun Shao, heard this, and they lifted up their hearts just now. That person just now was just a trilogy general, but now this is Zhang Liao's son. Zhang Liao may teach trilogy generals martial arts, but Certainly not as hard as instructing his son.Can Sun Shaoneng be Zhang Hu's opponent?
"Sun Shao of Wu Commandery, I'm waiting for your advice." Sun Shao regained his composure and said loudly.

At this moment, there was a burst of passionate drumming from the Central Army Office. Zhang Hu turned his head to look, and saw Cao Cao and others standing on the general platform of the Central Army, watching this side, and two drummers with naked upper bodies were standing The big drum was beating hard, and the rumbling drum sounded like a burst, and the sound waves rolled in, which was soul-stirring.Zhang Hu was grateful in his heart, knowing that Cao Cao was cheering him up, he bowed immediately, raised the iron halberd in his hand, and shouted: "Kill!"The war horse suffered from pain, let out a long hiss, and jumped forward suddenly.He knew that Sun Shao's horse was fast, so he accelerated ahead of time to prevent Zhang Wei from repeating the same mistakes.

"Kill!" Sun Shao leveled the iron halberd at the same time, and urged the horse again. With the successful experience last time, he was more confident this time, and his cooperation with Chitu seemed to be much closer.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Hundreds of Cao Jun shouted suddenly with the weapons in their hands, with an astonishing momentum.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Lu Yi raised his arms and shouted. Although his voice was drowned by Cao Jun's roar and Sun Shao couldn't hear him at all, he shouted without hesitation.When Gan Yu saw him, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and started to yell too. The first yell was silent, but the next day he was a little hoarse. It was not until the third and fourth yells that he found that feeling. call.

While speaking, Sun Shao and Zhang Hu had already crossed two horses, and the two iron halberds slammed together with the sound of the wind. They both felt their hands vibrate at the same time. separated.

"Okay!" Zhang Liao called out in a low voice.Secretly heaved a sigh of relief, Sun Shao's horse is fast, accelerating together at the same distance, Zhang Hu will suffer a lot, and now Zhang Hu is safe and sound in the first round, which shows that he has found a way to deal with Sun Shao, and will not Failed on this issue.Next, Zhang Hu's years of combat experience will give him the upper hand.

Although Cao Jun didn't think as much as Zhang Liao, they were very excited when they saw that Zhang Hu and Sun Shao were evenly matched. It was really depressing to be picked off by Sun Shao with one move.

"Son of Wenyuan, it's really good." Cao Cao smiled and said to Liu Ye and others beside him.

"General Zhengdong is a famous tiger general in front of His Highness' tent, how can a tiger father have a dog?" Liu Ye said with a playful smile.

"Well, but this Sun Shao is not bad, he is quite like his father." Cao Cao nodded appreciatively: "Northern people are good at riding horses, and southerners are good at maneuvering boats. Divided riding skills are commendable. It is not easy to be able to face Zhang Hu."

"Your Highness said exactly what you said." Liu Ye said, "I think this kid is sitting very firmly on the horse. He was able to pick up Zhang Wei with one arm just now, and his physical strength is not weak."

"What Zi Yang said is true." Cao Cao stroked his beard, nodded secretly, and smiled again: "It's a pity that my yellow beard is not here, otherwise, he must be moved."

Liu Ye laughed and said: "Although this son is brave, he is at most comparable to Zhang Hu. How can he be the opponent of Yan Linghou?"

"Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed triumphantly.

While they were talking, Sun Shao and Zhang Hu turned around and fought for a few more rounds.Zhang Hu wants to defeat Sun Shao to avenge Zhang Wei, and Sun Shao wants to make a name for himself, of course he will go all out.However, he was not in a hurry. After a few rounds, he found that his martial arts were on par with Zhang Hu's. His horse was tall and strong, and he had stirrups and saddles to help him. Zhang Husheng was rich in experience, which was exactly what he lacked. Yes, fighting against such an opponent is of great benefit to quickly improving one's experience, so he can clearly gain the upper hand, but deliberately does not use brute force, but entangles Zhang Hu with all his strength.

The two of you come and go, and there are dozens of rounds in a moment.After each round, you have to circle the horses and charge again. The real fight is only at the moment after the two horses pass by. In fact, it is far less beautiful than imagined, and there are not so many fancy tricks. Peck, push, and pull a few tricks, but there is no negligence.The speed of the horse running was already astonishing. Coupled with the superposition of the speed of the two horses, the real time for attacking was only about a few tenths of a second. Any negligence could cause fatal danger.

After dozens of rounds of fighting, Sun Shao became more and more energetic and refreshed, and the red rabbit under his crotch also raised his head and swayed his tail, full of energy, but Zhang Hu, on the other hand, was a little out of breath.His horse and strength are not as good as Sun Shao's. He used his experience to deal with Sun Shao with all his strength. He had to firmly clamp the horse's belly and kick hard before he dared to run with all his strength, which was a heavy burden on his physical strength.

When he circled his horse again and was about to charge, Zhang Hu found tragically that his horse's legs began to tremble.

"Again!" Compared to his discomfort, Sun Shao was full of spirits and called for a fight loudly. Amidst the fierce drums, Chitu took big strides and galloped towards him. Sun Shao held a long halberd in both hands and approached quickly.Zhang Hu gave a wry smile, and kicked the horse fiercely. The horse trembled and refused to start. Zhang Hu was anxious and kicked again, but it was too late. The halberd stabs head-on.

Zhang Liao was taken aback. He saw that Sun Shao started to speed up, and when Zhang Hu was still standing still, he realized that something was wrong, but by the time he realized it, it was too late. Taking the iron halberd in his hand, Zhang Liao let out a cry of surprise, without thinking too much, kicked the horse's belly, urged the horse forward, snatched his own iron halberd from the hand of the guard, and shouted at the same time: "Ah Hu, be careful! "

Zhang Hu could no longer hear the voice behind him. He stared at the iron halberd that was stabbing rapidly, gritted his teeth, and raised the halberd in his hand with all his strength. All he can do now is hope that he can use the halberd in his hand to hold it up. Sun Shao's iron halberd, and doing so is very dangerous, as long as Sun Shao twists his wrist to change the direction of the halberd, everything he did in a hurry will be in vain.Even if Sun Shao didn't change his direction, he could block the halberd, but the powerful impact would thrust the halberd into his body.

And through the confrontation with Sun Shao just now, he believes that Sun Shao will definitely do this, and he can do it.

However, he has no better way.

Zhang Liao, who arrived on a flying horse, also saw Zhang Hu's predicament. He wished he had wings and rushed over to save his son, but all this was a dream. He could only watch helplessly as Sun Shao's iron halberd hit Zhang Hu's chest. Stab quickly.
