Chapter 95

Li Ran smiled and said, "A defeated general dares to speak bravely. I'd like to see what you use to take my head." After saying that, he danced these nine whips and hit Zhao Meng. Zhao Meng was not afraid at all. He held a long gun and ushered in. The two fought, and Zhao Meng tried to make a breakthrough several times, but both failed and were always repulsed. I couldn't help sighing, "This guy is really a little capable. It seems that I have to fight bravely to have hope."

Zhao Meng was energetic and attacked with all his strength, but every time he made a sudden attack, he was hit by Li Ranfeishi and had to withdraw. Li Ran can only use flying stones, which is better than using nine whips. He can only send out at least five stones at a time. Even if he can block two, there are still three that will hit, and he does not completely hit people, but also rides. The mount is frightened and naturally runs around, and the people on horse can't play well.

After more than 100 rounds of battle, Zhao Meng was forced back by rocks and retreated gly. Previously, Chen Youzhi was defeated, and then Zhang Yuan was defeated. Now Zhao Meng is also defeated. None of the three most powerful figures in the army can beat Li Ran. The morale in the army was injured, and rumors are everywhere that Zu Zhao is ready to retreat.

Zu Zhao said, "If we are defeated this time, the court will condemn us. First, we will punish the thieves. Second, we will be greedy for meritoriously. Yuan Shao's army will ask for the thieves. At that time, even if the court does not be heavily punished, Liaodong will be unbearable. There is a saying that once Liaoxi fails, something will happen to Liaodong sooner or later, so we must not be defeated in this battle.

"But Li Ran alone is enough to resist our three generals. What should we do?" A counselor said with some discouragedness.

Zhang Yuan said, "If two people attack, they are not afraid of Li Ran, but the generals of the two armies meet. If we have two people, Li Ran knows that we are against us, and he will also pat the generals around him to attack. I saw two people around him who looked strange and used long knives. I think their ability is not small.

Chen Youzhi nodded and said, "You are right. I have fought with one of them before, and there is still no winner in 200 rounds. You can't underestimate them."

Zu Zhao asked, "What good way can everyone to crack Li Ran's nine-section whip?" That is a soft weapon and the nemesis of short weapons. He can make flying stones and restrain us. You have to find a person who also uses the hidden weapon to fight against him to win. But there is no such person in our army.

Chen Youzhi suddenly said, "When the general said this, I suddenly thought of a person. She is proficient in a variety of weapons, especially the meteor hammer, and she uses a good hidden weapon. It is said that she defeated 500 mountain thieves with the power of one person before.

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and asked who it was and where it was now. If there is really such a person who can come to help, he can really defeat Li Ran, as long as Li Ran fails. Even if there are 50,000 people in the Yellow Turban Army, they can definitely be defeated. After all, they have been temporarily gathered scattered soldiers. Although they have great momentum, they have no military discipline at all. If the main general is defeated, they will have no psychological support. It is easy to defeat them.

When everyone heard that some people are also masters of using hidden weapons, they can't help but be interested and listen carefully to what Chen Youzhi said. After all, they are all masters of using hidden weapons and know when they should hit the enemy. In this way, if the two fight against each other, it really depends on their strength.

Chen Youzhi said, "She is the king or the daughter of Gongsun Xiaoban of Xuandu County."

When everyone heard what he said, everyone was shocked. Zu Zhao asked, "King Gongsun or his daughter, Gongsun Xiaoban?" You mean a woman? What kind of weapons or hidden weapons is she likely to be proficient in? Military, there is no joke in the military. Don't joke.

Chen Youzhi smiled and said, "General, I dare not joke at this time. Don't underestimate your woman. Feng Luoxue around you is a first-class martial arts master. If you talk about singles ability, not many people will be her opponent."

When it comes to Feng Luoxue, Zu Zhao can't help laughing. For a moment, he was confused by the talentless woman in ancient times. Now when you think about it, Feng Luoxue around him is a first-class master, and Cai Wenji is a very representative female literati in the Three Kingdoms period, that is far away in Silla. Zhiyu is also a queen who is dedicated to the people. It seems that all the women around her are not simple. As for the Gongsun Xiaohan, he hasn't heard of it.

Zhang Yuan said, "However, a woman, maybe she can play continuously at home and defeat several family, but this is a battlefield, and if she is not careful, she will be worried about her name. And he is the daughter of the county guard, Prince Sun. Can we invite her to come? Even if she is willing to help, I'm afraid Lord Gongsun won't agree.

Zu Zhao nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable. Now, let's not talk about whether her strength can beat Li Ran, but whether she can come or not is a question.

Chen Youzhi was full of confidence and said, "Her strength must not be underestimated. I heard that he fought alone against 500 mountain thieves alone. I don't know if this is true or not, but it is an indisputable fact that she defeated Gongsun King or the personal guard commander and captain of Xuandu County."

As soon as Zu Zhao heard the name Yu Jin, he immediately trembled. This was a famous general of the State of Wei. Later, he was humiliated by Cao Cao because he was defeated. It turned out that he was the personal guard of King Gongsun, which was really exciting news. The most important person, Gongsun Xiaohan, can actually defeat Yu Ban, and put aside Yu Ban and deliberately let her make a few moves. There is always some strength.

Zu Zhao asked, "Is Yu Ban still the personal guard of King Gongsun or?"

Zhang Yuan had just returned from Xuandu County before. He knew something about the request of Xuandu County, and the captain there was Yu Forbidden, and he also knew this. He said, "Yes, Yu Jing is indeed the captain of Xuandu County. I have met him and he is a very bold person. General, do you know him?

Zuzuo said, "I don't know him. I know he doesn't know me. Or, maybe he knows me too, haha." Zu Zhao entertained himself and said seriously, "It would be great if you could invite Gongsun Xiaoban to help."

Chen Youzhi said, "General, you have a good relationship with Miss Cai Wenji. Didn't she tell you that she had some relationships with Gongsun Wang or his family before?"

Zu Zhao said, "I really don't know this. Military division, how do you know these things? Zu Zhao just asked so casually, but it immediately made Chen Youzhi a little embarrassed, because he knew that the relationship between Cai Wenji and Zu Zhao was not as simple as ordinary literati. Now Zu Zhao asked this question, as if he had any excessive contact with Cai Wenji.

Zu Zhao saw that Chen Youzhi's face was embarrassed and knew that the way he asked was wrong, and then immediately changed his words and said, "Well, in this case, that's very good. Does the military mean to let Cai Wenji go to Xuantong County to ask Gongsun Xiaoban's help?"

Chen Youzhi said, "Yes, as long as Cai Wenji goes, Gongsun Xiaoban will definitely help. I heard that the two of them also had a relationship before, but one was a hobby, the other was a martial arts lover, and there was no contact after they separated later.

This time he specially added a "I heard", so that Zu Zhao would not ask who he heard it. Zu Zhao naturally noticed the change in Chen Youzhi's words and couldn't help smiling in his heart. His casual curious question made his subordinates so nervous. It seems that it was really difficult to fool around in ancient times. Fortunately, he didn't have to look at people's faces, otherwise he would often say wrong things.

In order to defeat Li Ranjun, the yellow scarf thief, Zu Zhao immediately wrote a letter, asking people to send it back to Liaodong day and night to give it to Cai Wenji, and then asked her to go to Xuantuo County to invite Gongsun Xiaoban. Cai Wenji knew that Zu Zhao was in trouble in Liaoxi, and she was also very nervous. Now that Gongsun Xiaoban could help, she immediately went to Xuantong County to find Gongsun Xiaoban. First, she analyzed the world, told her about the various scourges of the yellow scarf thief, and then praised Zu Zhao, and finally Only then did he say that Zu Zhao met a strong enemy in Liaoxi. Only she could help and hoped that she could help.

Gongsun Xiaoban has heard of Zu Zhao for a long time, especially his strange tea, horse milk wine, and canned apples. Before, she forced her father to find ways to get it for her. Her greatest wish is to see Zu Zhao. If she can follow him, it would be better. It's over. However, as a girl, she is also the daughter of a famous family. If she goes to Zu Zhao by herself, it doesn't make sense, but she has never been able to find a good excuse to meet Zu Zhao.

Now, Zu Zhao actually asked Cai Wenji to ask her for help. Not to mention how happy Gongsun Xiaoban was. When Cai Wenji said that Zu Zhao needed help, she agreed without thinking about it. Later, Gongsun Xiaoban mysteriously asked her father for instructions, saying that she would go to Liaoxi to help suppress the bandits, but she did not mention that it was Zu Zhao. But her father laughed and said, "Is it true that you want to suppress bandits?"

"Dad, how can you say that about your daughter? I'm really going to suppress bandits and yellow scarves. As a big man and daughter, everyone has the obligation to go. Although I am a daughter, I have never regarded myself as a woman. Didn't you raise me as a daughter? I want to learn martial arts, and you can immediately find someone to teach me. I don't like embroidery. You immediately sent someone to take away all those needles and threads. Dad, I know you love me the most, so let your daughter go, okay? Gongsun Xiaoban began to act coquettishly.

King Gongsun or laughed and said, "If you are going to suppress the bandits, I will go otherwise. If you are going to see Zu Zhao, I will let you go."

Gongsun Xiaoban blushed and said, "What Zu Zhao, I don't even know this person. Dad, you are Zu Zhao one by one. You want to see him, don't you?"

King Gongsun said, "I really want to see him. He is a man with both literature and martial arts. He has skills to lead troops on the battlefield and can win thousands of miles under the camp. He is really a rare talent. I really want him to come to my Xuandu County to be my son-in-law."

"Sunlaw? Do you want to marry me to someone I don't know?" Gongsun Xiaoban immediately blushed, but he still argued with his father.

"He is so powerful that he can command 500 people and defeat 50,000 people. Do you think he is qualified to be my son-in-law?" King Gongsun may laugh.

"Is Zu Zhao really that powerful?" After listening to his father's words, Gongsun Xiaoban's heart was even more ordinary. He couldn't wait to leave his father to find Zu Zhao now to see what kind of person he was.

"He is really so powerful. Do you think you are going to suppress the bandits or meet him? King Gongsun may ask with a smile.

Gongsun Xiaoban turned his head and said, "Well, I'm just going to see him. I'm leaving now. Dad, take care. My daughter will come back after destroying the yellow scarf and the thief."

King Gongsun may shout, "Take my son-in-law back." After saying that, he laughed and couldn't help but think of the scene when he saw Zu Zhao for the first time. The first time he met, he felt that Zu Zhao had a king temperament and would become a hegemon in the future, so he had been paying attention to Zu Zhao's movements. With the further expansion of Zu Zhao's power, King Gongsun may be even stronger. After set his own belief, Zu Zhao will become a great weapon in the future. He is a daughter, Gongsun Xiaoban. He has been thinking that it would be better if Zu Zhao could marry his daughter.

However, when his daughter went to Liaoxi this time, he was still a little worried. After taking her out, he immediately let Yujin take 5,000 elite soldiers to follow her. Cai Wenji and King Gongsun had just left the gate, and an army followed them. Cai Wenji was shocked and said, "Isn't it my uncle who regrets and wants to chase you back?"

King Gongsun may say, "It's not necessarily. I'm leaving. He must not be able to keep me."

As soon as the army arrived, it turned out that it was Yu Ke who took the lead. He said that Lord Taishou was worried about her comfort, so he asked him to protect her with 5,000 elite soldiers. Gongsun Xiaoban was surprised and grateful. He looked at the city a few times before he left.

King Gongsun may watch his daughter leave on the city tower, and he can't say whether he is disappointed or happy. After all, his daughter is going to the battlefield, and he is naturally worried about a girl's child's house; and when he wants to fight Zu Zhao personally asks for help, Gongsun King may be happy. He even thought that if Zu Zhao became emperor in the future, his daughter might be able to be the queen and mother of the world, and he would become the emperor.

Cai Wenji took Gongsun Xiaoban and Yu Forbidden's army day and night for five days before finally arriving in Liaoxi County. When Zu Zhao heard that Gongsun Xiaoban was coming, he immediately led the army 50 miles away to greet him. Gongsun Xiaoban saw that Zu Zhao personally went to such a far place to pick her up, and she had been excited for a long time. When she saw Zu Zhao's magnificent and majestic appearance, she had been intoxicated for a long time and forgot to salute. At the reminder of the prohibition, she hurriedly saluted Zu Zhao.

Zu Zhao was overjoyed and took them back to the camp. He learned that it was Yu Ban who escorted Gongsun Xiaoban, and there were even more waves of ecstasy in his heart. Seeing Yu Bin's majestic face, he was a great general at first glance. Now that he has come here, he naturally has to find ways to keep him. How can he throw himself into Cao Cao's arms. Yu Jin saw Zu Zhao and was happy to see that Zu Zhao was very polite to him. He also had a good talk with Zu Zhao, and also had the heart to stay with Zu Zhao.

"General Zu, I'm going to fight right now and capture the yellow scarf anti-thief, okay?" Gongsun Xiaoban said.

Zu Zhao said, "No, the thief is very fierce. You travel day and night, and even the iron man should be tired. You can't go to war today. Take it back tomorrow. When you win the thief, I will immediately command the army to attack the county and recapture Liaoxi."

Gongsun Xiaoban saw that Zu Zhao spoke so powerfully and cared about himself, and he was crazy in his heart. She blushed and turned around and dared not look at Zu Zhao. Cai Wenji knew Gongsun Xiaoban's thoughts and smiled, saying that she wanted to take her outside to familiarize herself with the situation. When Gongsun Xiaoban heard the words, he immediately withdrew to Zu Zhao and went out with Cai Wenji.

Gongsun Xiaoban's shy white generals were in his eyes. After she went out, Zhang Yu said with a smile, "General, this Gongsun Xiaohan seems to like you?"

Zhang Yuan heard this and immediately scolded, "Don't be rude. How can you talk to the general like this?"

Zu Zhao laughed and said, "They are all brothers, and there are no outsiders here. They are not in a war or agreeing on military strategies. It's good to talk and laugh. There is no need to make the atmosphere so depressed. I also think Zhang Yu said it right. Maybe she really likes me. Now to be more utilitarian, if Gongsun Xiaoban marries me, then I think Liaodong County has something to do with the largest power group in Youzhou. At that time, we will be the largest power in Youzhou. Isn't it good? After saying that, he laughed.

Although Zu Zhao's words seem to be joking with the generals, it is indeed right to think about it. Gongsun King or the strongest force in Youzhou can attract him, which is very beneficial to control the whole Youzhou and even the whole Liaodong in the troubled times in the future. Everyone knows that sooner or later, the great man will be destroyed, and now he will be dead in name only. The princes are separated, and the local governors will obey the court on the surface, but in fact, they are developing their own power. However, Luoyang was an official early and there is no big force.

Yujin listened to Zu Zhao's words and said seriously, "General Zu, in fact, Miss Gongsun really likes you. You are the one he mentioned most when he was practicing with me at home. Every time I asked about you, she was very useful to listen. Moreover, the county guard also values you. When Liaoxi recovers, maybe you can go to Xuan Tuo County for a walk. Maybe you can really achieve great things. He and Zu Zhao met as soon as before, and it was too late to meet. Now it is also true to say this.

Zu Zhao smiled and said, "When the yellow scarf thief is destroyed, I will send Miss Gongsun back in person and bring the gift of marriage by the way."

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help laughing. The soldiers outside heard the laughter of the generals inside and were happy that they had planned to defeat the enemy. They couldn't help whispering and were ready to do a big fight.
