The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 8 Single-on-one Zhang Liao

Sun Shao was about to stab the iron halberd into Zhang Hu's body. Suddenly, he saw Zhang Hu's trembling body in the corner of his eyes. He flashed, and he couldn't even think too much. He loosened the halberd tightly between the lightning and flints. The halberd stabbed on Zhang Hu's halberd, and a strong force came. Zhang Hu's arms were numb and could no longer be clamped. Live the war horse and turn over and fall to the ground. Sun Shao passed by him empty-handed.

As soon as Zhang Liao saw Zhang Hu turn over and fall off the horse, he thought that he had been stabbed to death by Sun Shao, and his eyes suddenly turned red. Cao's order was also thrown out of the sky by him. He shouted loudly and stabbed at Sun Shao. Sun Shao was empty-handed and couldn't fight, so he had to urge the horse to run wildly, and Zhang Liao chased after him.

The two of them ran along the front one after the other.

Lv Yi and Gan Yu were shocked. They were happy when they just saw Zhang Hu fall to the ground. In a blink of an eye, they found that Sun Shao was chased and killed by Zhang Liao. They were immediately scared. The two of them couldn't think much and urged the horse to chase him.

Fortunately, Sun Shao's horse was fast. Although Zhang Liao's war horse was not bad, it was still much inferior to this horse. Although he ran with all his strength, he could not catch up with Sun Shao. The two circled in front of the battle. Zhang Liao's part song saw it and was about to go forward to besiege it, but he saw that Zhang Hu, who had fallen, suddenly turned over and stood up and shouted loudly: " Aweng, Awong, don't chase! Don't chase--"

Everyone was stunned, and the noisy front suddenly calmed down. 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 it was a little quiet before the battle, he only had Sun Shao in his eyes now, and he couldn't care about anything else at all. It was not until he turned around and saw the lively Zhang Hu that he was shocked. He grabbed the reins, rushed to Zhang Hu, and shouted in surprise, "Are you... not dead?"

Zhang Hu stepped forward and pulled Zhang Liao's reins and smiled happily, "A Weng, it was Sun Jun who spared my life. He let go of his hand in time. I was just knocked down. It doesn't matter."

Zhang Liao suddenly realized that he looked up to find Sun Shao, but found that Sun Shao had picked up the halberd. He looked at him from afar and laughed loudly, "The general became a famous hero and chased me with a sharp blade. It seems to be a little unkind."

Zhang Liao blushed, gently raised the war horse, and slowly stepped forward. He didn't stand until he was ten steps away from Sun Shao. He hugged his fists in his hands and said loudly, "Thank you, Sun Jun, for Raving the dog's life just now. Zhang Liao was offended just now. Please forgive Sun Jun."

"Hey hey hey..." Sun Shao smiled and said, "Thanks to the good horse given by my father-in-law, otherwise I would have died unjustly today. General Zhang, Ling Lang is just a lack of horses, not defeat. A gentleman does not take advantage of people's danger. Although the boy is not a gentleman, he disdains to do such things.

Zhang Liao listened, but said with some surprise, "Is this horse given by Yun's eldest brother? But the blood of the red rabbit?"

Sun Shao looked at Zhang Liao in surprise and said with a smile, "General Zhang has a lot of knowledge. Does he even know this? Yes, this is the blood of the red rabbit. The name is also called the red rabbit. His father passed away the year before last.

"Ah..." Zhang Liao was a little gloomy and speechless for a moment. Lv Bu's horse is also dead, and there are no traces of him in the world. Lv Bu among the people and the red rabbit among the horse can be sighed that such a heroic person in those years has fallen into such a end. He took a look at Sun Shao on the opposite side and suddenly sighed. Is there any connection between this young man who is also called Feng Xian and him?

"Sun Jun has been fighting for a long time. Why don't you take a break and fight again, so that no one will say that I, Zhang Liao, take advantage of the danger of others."

Sun Shao put the iron halberd on the horse and laughed, "If the general doesn't say it, I'm going to take a break for a while. Although the boy was crazy, he did not dare to raise it in front of the general. He was just nourishing his energy and asking the general for advice.

"So, Sun Jun, please rest less before the battle." Zhang Liao also crossed the iron halberd, turned the horse's head, turned back, arranged someone to take some food and water, and handed over to Sun Shao and the other three people. Sun Shao did not refuse. He turned over and disewell under the gaze of hundreds of Cao troops, and sat down with Lv Yi and Gan Yu, drinking and eating calmly.

Lv Yi gave Sun Shao a thumbs-up and said with a smile, "Sun Jun, admire, admire." Gan Yu looked at Sun Shao with strange eyes, but he couldn't pull down his face to talk to Sun Shao, so he had to turn his face to one side. Sun Shao ignored him and ate by himself.

Cao Qian looked at the stage from afar and felt very interesting. When he saw Yang Xiu standing far away, he shouted, "Dezu, come closer." Yang Xiu hurried to him. Cao Qian pointed to Zhang Liao and Sun Shao in front of the battle: "Today's World War is also quite an ancient style. You are quick-thinking, can you have poetry to help you?"

Yang Xiu smiled and said, "If you want to think about it, how can I compare with Lin Yuhou?"

Cao's eyebrows were raised, and he was suddenly a little unhappy. Cao Zhi's literary thoughts are good. He used to care about Cao Zhi for ten minutes, but Cao Zhi was informal and somewhat **. The last time he went on a march, he asked Cao Zhi to guard Ye City. As a result, he made the matter almost out of control, so this time he let Cao Pi stay. Recently, there are many people who support Cao Pi in front of him. He has gradually come up with some ideas. Yang Xiu is still saying good things for Cao Zhi at this time, and he doesn't know what's good or bad.

Seeing that Cao Qian didn't answer, Yang Xiu didn't dare to say anything more, and laughed and said, "Shiwen is done, but I just need to think about it for a moment. Please give me your permission."

"Hey hey, when did you be so smart? Have you been thinking too much recently? Cao Qian smiled quietly and waved his hand to signal Yang Xiu to retreat. Yang Xiu was dripping with cold sweat and his heart was palpitated. He retreated aside.

After half an hour, Sun Shao finished his rest and got on the horse again. Zhang Liao fought and no longer said much nonsense. The two of them held an iron halberd and fought in one place. In the face of Zhang Liao, Sun Shao did not dare to be careless. He was absorbed and went all out. Although Zhang Liao had a good impression on him and was grateful that he had just let Zhang Hu go, but this matter was related to the morale of both sides, and he did not dare to release water easily and cheer up against Sun Shao. The two of them, one old and one young, circled and fought in front of the battle, which was thrilling and gripping.

Zhang Liaosheng is old in experience and fierce in killing, while Sun Shaosheng is tall and strong, with first-class speed and strength, and quick reaction. Even if he lacks experience, he can make up for it in time. Although Zhang Liao's moves fiercely, because he dares not stab Sun Shao, he has to leave some strength. Sun Shao actually killed the same as Zhang Liao.

The ancient method of one-on-one martial arts competition has been used by few people in this era. There is only one history in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, that is, Lv Bu and Guo Duo fought one-on-one in Chang'an City. That time, it ended with Lv Bu stabbing Guo Duo's arm. In fact, after a very fast, the real fight is a round of thing. Many people may I didn't see it clearly at all. And the vast majority of people present now have not seen such a hearty scene. They watched it with relish one by one, and inadvertently forgot that Sun Shao was the enemy. Whether it was Zhang Liao or Sun Shao, it was just that they used a beautiful trick or dodged a seemingly desperate attack from the other party, which would cause a while. Shouting, the originally murderous military camp has now become a martial arts field.

Cao Shen was also very happy. Looking at the teenager who was fighting with Zhang Liao in the distance, he seemed to see his son Cao Zhang, and You Ran had a good impression.

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 to shoot Sun Shao off the horse with one move to solve the battle. He picked up the iron halberd in both hands and rushed to Sun Shao, and the halberd stabbed him head-on. Sun Shao did not dare to neglect. He shook his hands hard, pushed the iron halberd away, and returned a halberd. Zhang Liao held it horizontally, and the two of them passed by by mistake. However, at the moment when he crossed with Sun Shao, Zhang Liao suddenly turned the halberd head, put it on the halberd between Sun Shao's hands, and pulled it hard.

Sun Shao didn't expect that he would use this move. It was too late to change the move, but if the halberd was pulled off by him, it would be a fall. Without thinking, he clenched the halberd with both hands, shouted, and pulled back with all his strength.

Zhang Liao originally thought that although Sun Shao was strong, he was a southerner. After all, his riding skills could not be compared with that of northerners. He fought immediately for 30 years. The strength of his legs was far from Sun Shao's. In addition, he was unprepared. Even if Sun Shao had the strength in his hand, he could not let go of his hand, but his leg strength must not support it. Yes, it will be the same as Zhang Hu was hit by him and pulled down from the horse by him, so that he can win without hurting him, which is the task.

But he never thought that Sun Shao's saddle and stirring were specially made. Although Sun Shao's upper body was indeed pulled by him, with the help of the strength of Gaoqiao saddle and stirring, he still sat firmly on the horse's back. In addition, the strength of the red rabbit horse was extremely strong. With this force, Zhang Liao failed to pull Sun Shao down. On the contrary, he was almost dragged off the horse. Thanks to his strength on his legs and clamped the horse, he avoided falling off the horse, but his horse was not so lucky. The two forces rushed, and the poor war horse hissed and was dragged away from the direction by the red rabbit. With a bang, he jumped to the ground and pressed Zhang Liao's leg under his body. .

So the result you see is that Sun Shaolian and Ma people stand up, while Zhang Liao is looking up.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhang Liao is one of the best generals under Cao's account. Only Cao Ren can be strong with him, and even Cao Ren is not sure to defeat Zhang Liao. As brave as Cao Zhang, he dares not say that he can defeat Zhang Liao. In addition, in the battle in Hefei the year before last, Zhang Liao has become a symbol of the undefeated god of war. In some older people In the eyes of the soldiers, his limelight was faintly close to Lv Bu in those years. But no one expected that Zhang Liao was defeated by a young man who was only 19 years old in the eyes of the public, and he was so embarrassed.

Cao's soldiers were stunned and looked at each other in front of each other. No one could believe their eyes. Not only did they not say a word, but they even forgot to beat the drums, and there was a dead silence in front of the noisy battle.

"Cai!" Gan Yu jumped up and shouted loudly, but Lv Yi was stunned there, with a look of horror on his face.

"Why don't you cheer? Captain Sun defeated Zhang Liao. Captain Sun defeated Zhang Liao. Didn't you see it?" Gan Yu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Lv Yi. Lv Yi smiled bitterly and his voice trembled: "I know, I know he won, but I don't know if we can go back to Jiangdong to report this news to the supreme."

When Gan Yi heard this, he suddenly realized that his face was like dead ashes.

Zhang Liao's part was the first to react. Before Zhang Hu's greeting, dozens of riders rushed out of the queue and shouted loudly to Sun Shao. A hundred steps away arrived in a blink of an eye. Before Sun Shao could accelerate, they had rushed to Sun Shao's horse. Sun Shao was furious and did not retreat but instead. He grabbed the halberd in his hand and roared. The halberd slammed into the neck of a soldier in front of him, shot him down the horse on the spot and fell to the ground and died. Sun Shao tried his best to urge the horse. The red rabbit hissed and ran straight without hesitation. He rushed between the two horses. Sun Shao rose up bravely and crossed the iron halberd that had just killed one person and knocked the two soldiers off the horse.

Then, he exerted all his strength, and the halberd in his hand was like a divine help. In a moment, he stabbed three people in a row, and he was also stabbed twice on his own arm. Thanks to the iron armor to protect his body, he was not injured.

As soon as more than a dozen horses rushed by, Sun Shao was still sitting on the horse. The halberd stood up and stared angrily, but the backs of the more than a dozen horses that rushed over were empty. The five soldiers were shot down by Sun Shao while gasping. They fell to the ground and moaned in pain, and the other had died.

" Stop!" Zhang Hu roared, stopped the part that wanted to rush over together, rushed to Sun Shao, protected Sun Shao, and shouted at the soldiers who came back to rush again, "Get off the horse and help the general up!"

When the soldiers saw Zhang Hu protecting Sun Shao, they didn't dare to talk anymore. Several soldiers turned over and got off the horse and helped Zhang Liao, who was pressed by the horse. As soon as Zhang Liao stood up, he shook his hand and gave everyone a loud slap in the face, shouting: "When did I be so ashamed of the iron horse in the state? It's just that your skills are not as good as others. How dare you bully more and less?

The remaining people also quickly rolled in the saddle and fell off the horse. They stood in front of Zhang Liao with their heads down, motionless and let him hit them one by one, with loud slaps in the ears. It was not until he kicked the leading team to the ground that Zhang Liao angrily returned to Sun Shaoma and held his fists in his hands: "Zhang Liao's discipline is not strict, which really made Sun Jun laugh."

Sun Shao came to his senses at this time. Just now, he was furious and had no time to think about it. Now the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He didn't mention it quickly. If it hadn't been for Zhang Hu who called the rest of the people and rushed over a dozen more, even if he had the help of a horse stammer and a saddle, he would only have the end of being knocked off the horse and trampled to death. While Zhang Liao was teaching his men a lesson, he had calmed down, quickly turned over and diseed, and saluted: "The general does not need to blame himself. Your department is worried about the general's safety out of loyalty, which is understandable. It was Sun Shao who was rude and defeated the general with his brute force. He was really ashamed.

Zhang Liao listened and took a look at Sun Shao. Seeing that he had no intention of hypocrisy, he didn't care about it. He stroked his beard and sighed: "It's also God's will. In those years, I received the art from Lv Junfeng, and today I was defeated by Sun Junfeng's subordinates. Two Fengxian... It's really God's will to play tricks on people."

Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Sun Shao's ignorant boy, how dare you compare with Wen Hou? The general really killed the boy."

"What a young man, not arrogant or impatient, it's rare." Zhang Liao patted Sun Shao on the shoulder and said lonelyly, "Zhang Liao is old. It will be the world of your young people in the future. Farewell. Zhang Liao quietly waits for Sun Jun to become famous all over the world."

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

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

"It's about the world, and General Zhang is invited to complete it." Sun Quan said with a straight face.

"Is it so serious?" Zhang Liao stared at Sun Shao's face for a moment, nodded and said, "Wait a minute. I'm going to see the Prime Minister, but I can't control it."

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

Zhang Liao smiled kindly and left with the guards. Sun Shao was the only one left in the noisy battlefield just now. When Sun Shao saw that Zhang Liao and others returned to the camp, he said to Lv Yi and Gan Yu who caught up, "This is the matter, Gan Yu, you go back to report the letter as soon as possible, just say that Sun Shao did not disgrace his mission and defeated Zhang Liao by chance. Please rest assured."

"So...what about you?" Gan Yu blushed with excitement, but he didn't feel dizzy. "What about you and Bo?"

"Bedao and I are going to stay in Caoying. We have something to do. When you go back, let the Supreme send a boat of wine immediately."

Gan Wei thought it was funny: "Do you want to bribe Cao?"

Sun Shao looked up and said with a deep face, "If you move a sword soldier, there will be countless casualties. I will do my best to persuade Cao to retreat. Bo Dao, would you like to come with me?

Lv Yi hesitated a little and immediately said generously, "The captain has such a beautiful intention, how dare Lv Yi not praise one or two?"

"It's wonderful." Sun Shao patted Lv Yi's shoulder, and then put his arms around Gan Yu's shoulder and walked aside. Gan Yu's body stiffened, and then he relaxed 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. Whether we are friends or enemies in the future, now we have a clear feud. I promise that I will never reveal your matter, and don't bother that person. I will guarantee his safety. It was your father who killed people first. No wonder others. If you dare to chase him, don't blame me for not giving you face and playing with you to the end.

Gan Yu gritted his teeth and thought for a time, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I believe you once."

"That's good." Sun Shao smiled and pushed him to the riverside, where there was a small boat in Jiangdong: "Go ahead, if you are interested, you might as well take another walk to see who the world-famous Prime Minister Cao is."

"Good." Gan Yu nodded and said, "If the supreme sends wine, I will definitely come again." He took two steps with the horse, stopped again, and turned around: "Cao Qian has killed countless people. Be careful."

"Thank you very much." Sun Shao waved his hand and motioned him to leave quickly.

Gan Yu quickly got on the boat, and the long-awaited boat shook the boat and headed for Ruxu Dock.

Sun Shao turned around and stood proudly in front of Cao Ying. Lv Yi led the two horses and followed him closely. In a long time, a man who looked like a scribe came out of Cao Ying, quickly walked to Sun Shao, bowed and bowed: "Mr. Sun, the Prime Minister, please come to the account."

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

The three of them walked to the camp and entered the heavily guarded Cao camp. Lv Yi was a little breathless. He looked at Sun Shao, but found that Sun Shao ignored these at all. He just laughed softly with the scribe, and couldn't help admiring him very much. This person is really incomparable with others. Although he has been in Sun Quan's account for so long, he has seen a lot of the world, but in terms of courage and insight, he is much worse than Sun Shao.

In fact, he doesn't know that Sun Shao is more nervous than him now, but he is used to acting. Although he is nervous, he can't be seen at all. He tried his best to make his steps look calm, with a reserved smile on his face: "I dare to ask your name."

"I dare not, I'm in Hongnong Yang Xiu, cursive character Dezu."

Sun Shao's eyebrows jumped, looked at the not amazing Yang Xiu in front of him, and said softly, "Is it the Hongnong Yang family of the fourth generation and third princes? Therefore, Lieutenant Yang Gong is your Excellency's..."

"That's my father." Yang Xiu smiled with a little complacency.

"So you and Yuan Yao are cousins?"

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

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

Yang Xiu's mother is Yuan Shu's 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 were scattered in all directions, and most of them did not know whereabouts. Yuan Yao was in Jiangdong. Yang Xiu's family did not know that Yuan Yao's sister was Mrs. Sun Quan. Suddenly, when they heard the news of Yuan Yao, Yang Xiu was really a little surprised. His mother, Yuan, 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 for more details, but he had already walked to Cao Qian's central army's tent. He quickly swallowed it back and said with a smile, "Sun Jun, the Prime Minister is waiting in there. You'd better go in first."

"It's your hard work." Sun Shao didn't say much. He stood at the door and reported loudly: "Therefore, the son of the rebellious general Sun Ce, under the account of General Sun Quan, Captain Sun Shao of Chenglie, met the Prime Minister and His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

"Hahaha..." There was a burst of laughter from it: "Sun Lang, come in and let me listen to what kind of big things you have to report to me."

Sun Shao smiled and looked at each other with Lv Yi. He strode into the account and saluted Cao Chen, who was sitting high on it. Cao Shen looked at Sun Shao with interest. Seeing that he was heroic, his eyes were divine, his figure was tall and well-proportioned, and his whole body was full of spirit. He turned his face to Zhang Liao beside him and said, "Wen Yuan, you lost to Yun Chang this time. He has a good son-in-law."

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

Sun Shao smiled and said, "The general praised it. The young general is heroic, and the boy dares to compare with him. General Guan married his beloved daughter to the boy. It is not that the boy has a quality to be carved. In fact, it is a sacrifice made by focusing on the general trend of the world. This is the blessing of the boy, but it is the loss of General Guan.

"Hahaha..." Cao Jian couldn't help laughing when he saw that Sun Shao's words were funny but not rude, which was quite in line with his temper. Although his figure is not tall, his laughter is full of freshness and pride that others can't reach.
