Chapter 7 Red Rabbit in the Horse

When Zhang Liao, the general of Zhengdong, heard Cao Qian's summons, he hurriedly arrived with his son Zhang Hu and Zhang Wei, the governor of the army. As soon as he saw Cao Qian with a smile on his face, Zhang Liao was a little surprised and hurried forward to salute: "General Zhengdong, Liao, I have met the Prime Minister and the King of Wei."

"Wenyuan, your prestige is far away from Jiangdong." Cao Qian was in a very good mood. He stepped forward, took Zhang Liao's arm and said, "Sun Quan was broken by you. Now he wants to take revenge on you. Do you have the confidence to fight?

Zhang Liao was a little proud and a little puzzled. He asked tentatively, "Your Highness, what's going on here?"

Cao Yan laughed, stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, signaling Liu Ye to tell the situation. Hearing this, Zhang Liao laughed hoarsely and said proudly, "As long as Your Highness orders, I will come to the front of the battle, cut off the head of this unknown vertical head, and present it to Your Highness."

Cao Hen looked at Zhang Liao quietly, turned his eyes, and said, "Do you know what's wrong with this Sun Shao?"

Zhang Liao thought for a little and shook his head: "I don't know, please give me some advice."

"General, this Sun Shao is Sun Ce's only son." Liu Ye interrupted, "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 was stunned for a moment, and his two rough big hands rubbed, which was a little difficult. Sun Shao didn't care about him. He killed him, but Guan Yu had a good relationship with him. When Guan Yu was in Cao's camp, they were like brothers. Now, although they are their own masters and don't have much relationship, the relationship still exists. If he is asked to kill Sun Shao now, he will inevitably feel sorry for his old friend. But this mood just passed by, and then he raised his head and smiled, "Although he is Yun Chang's son-in-law, he is the son of the grandson family. Since he dares to call, I naturally can't be polite."

"No." Liu Ye shook his head and smiled meaningfully: "General, why don't you think about why Sun Quan sent Sun Shao to challenge?"

Zhang Liao was puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly shouted in surprise: "Is it?"

"Exactly." Cao said a word and sneered, "Sun Zhongmou got his brother's foundation, but he was worried about his brother's orphan. He was afraid of this notoriety, but he wanted to borrow my knife. Uh-huh, is he a fool to be a man?"

"But..." Zhang Liao was a little embarrassed: "In this previous battle, we can't deliberately give in, which has a great impact on our military morale."

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

Zhang Liaoxin understood God and bowed to the order: "I will take the order."

"Go ahead." Cao Qian waved his hand, turned to Liu Ye and said, "Please come and watch the battle with me to see if Sun Shao has his father's style."

Liu Ye answered and turned around to arrange it. Zhang Liao left the camp, took Zhang Hu, Zhang Wei and others back to the camp with armor and halberd, and brought the guard Qu to the front of the battle. Cao Jun, who was guarding the river, had received the news that he had already let Sun Shao and the other three ashore. Sun Shao rode a fiery red high-headed horse, holding a halberd with one hand, pointing diagonally to the sky. His tall and strong body was straight and he ran back and forth in front of the battle. The hero of the red rabbit is matched with Sun Shao's heroic posture. He is really like a tiger, a horse is like a dragon, majestic and invincible. Anyone who sees it has to shout. What a young hero.

Zhang Liao's heart suddenly thumped. He suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly changed.

Zhang Hu saw the change of Zhang Liao's expression in his eyes and quickly asked, "A Weng, what's wrong?"

Zhang Liao didn't say anything. He stared at Sun Shao in the distance. He suddenly lowered his head and rubbed his eyes: "It's blowing the wind, and my eyes are uncomfortable." Zhang Hu looked up at the direction of the wind and felt that something was wrong. The wind was a northwest wind. It blew from behind, and it was not big. How could it blow uncomfortable? He didn't say anything and hesitated for a moment, "A Weng, why don't you let me meet him?"

Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Be careful. This man's martial arts skills are extraordinary. Don't underestimate the enemy."

Zhang Hu hasn't spoken yet, but Zhang Wei snorted disapprovingly and arched his hand and said, "Major General, why do you go to war? Leave this unknown person to me." In my opinion, this vertical is not worth mentioning. Only the horse can still see it. When I come forward and grab it, I will give it to the general.

Zhang Liao took a look at him and said solemnly, "How can you fight against the enemy so lightly? It's a small matter to die in battle, but it's a big deal to hurt my military morale. You only know that the horse is good, do you know the origin of that horse?

Zhang Wei blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"I think this horse is a little familiar. It seems to be... It seems to be a red rabbit that Wenhou has ridden before." Zhang Liao looked at Sun Shao, who was still calling in the distance, and muttered to himself, "Calculate, the horse is old, but the horse later returned to Guan Yu. Guan Yu is the recipient of the horse. It is impossible not to use it. The horse is tall, slender and powerful, and it looks very much like the blood of the red rabbit."

"Wenhou Lv Bu?" Zhang Hu suddenly understood why Zhang Liao had just lost his temper. Wenhou Lv Bu was the old master of Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao was also a teacher and friend. When Zhang Liao first entered Ding's original account, Lv Bu pointed out his martial arts, and later followed Lv Bu to fight. Baimenlou Lv Bu was captured by Cao Wei, and he was obedient, but Zhang Liao was unwilling to end his life, so he surrendered to Cao Wei. He has made many achievements under Cao's account, and now he has been promoted to the position of General Zhengdong. It can be said that he has become famous, but the guilt for Lv Bu in those years has always been a hidden pain in his heart. Now when he sees a war horse like a red rabbit god, he may think of Lv Bu again.

In fact, Zhang Liao's mood is far more complicated than he thought. Sun Shao is not only like Ma and Lv Bu, but also a little like him. They are all very handsome. In front of him, Sun Shao, who is holding an iron halberd and wearing armor, ** red rabbit horse, is a young version of Lv Bu. More importantly, his words are also Feng Xian, which makes Zhang Liao have an illusion in a trance, as if he is not in Cao now. The camp is in the assassin's mansion in Jiuyuan.

"A Weng, in this case, I'm going to take the horse and present it to my father." Zhang Hu said loudly.

"I'll go." Zhang Wei asked for the order again.

"Well, be careful." Zhang Liao regained his composure in a moment, nodded and said seriously, "Be careful, and don't hurt his life. The king has an order, and it is useful to keep him. Zhang Wei smiled disapprovingly and urged him to come to the front of the battle. When he was a hundred steps away from Sun Shao, he held the rein and shouted, "I am Zhang Wei, the general of the general of Zhengdong. I will be known."

Sun Shao rode on the horse and was feeling the wonderful rhythm brought by the elegant pace of the red rabbit horse. He felt the violence in his body, which was usually rare. The bamboo handle halberd in his hand seemed to suddenly have vitality, and his blood began to beat synchronously, rising with the pace of the red rabbit horse. After being tested by Chen Hai, Guan Feng and others, he has enough confidence, but the riding battle is dwarfed. He has practiced a lot, and his riding skills are also superb, but there are not many opportunities to really practice with people, that is, he tried with Guan Feng for a long time yesterday. However, he has his unique weapon, one is the high bridge saddle he is sitting down, and the other is the armrest he deliberately blocked with a long armor skirt. With these two sharp weapons, he is now sitting on the back of the red rabbit as stable as Mount Tai, full of confidence, so that he can he close his eyes and gallop back and forth in front of thousands of Cao troops like leisurely. Let the violence in your chest suppress the fear in your heart, while being familiar with this beautiful feeling, and establish a tacit understanding with the red rabbit horse.

Hearing the cry of General Cao on the opposite side, he opened his eyes, glanced at Zhang Wei, and then looked at the general flag on the front of Cao's army, and surrounded a powerful general who was nearly half a hundred years old. It seemed that he should be the head of the five good generals. Zhang Liao and Zhang Wen are far away. Although I can't see my face clearly from afar, that kind of self-confidence and that calmness can't be pretended by ordinary people.

Sun Shao strangled the reins, raised the iron halberd in his hand high, carried the spirit of Dantian, and shouted, "The son of the rebellious general, Sun Shao, Wu Jun, come to challenge!"

This sound was full of momentum, which overshadowed Zhang Wei's fierce shouting, and also made Cao Jun 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. From this sound of drinking, it could be heard that the teenager on the opposite side was not bad. Zhang Liao looked at Zhang Wei in front of the battle and suddenly had an ominous feeling.

Zhang Wei was deliberately or unintentionally ignored by Sun Shao. He was so angry that he just wanted to put Sun Shao off the horse. Without saying a word, he urged the horse to rush forward. When Sun Shao saw him start, he stopped talking nonsense. His legs hit the horse's abdomen, and the red rabbit suddenly accelerated. In just a few seconds, he increased his speed and rushed to Zhang Wei. Sun Shao sat firmly on the horse's back, bent down, loosened the rein, held the halberd with both hands, and locked Zhang Wei with his eyes.

The distance of a hundred and ten steps arrived in a blink of an eye. In a few breaths, Sun Shao rushed to Zhang Wei with a forceful momentum.

Zhang Wei was shocked. He suddenly found that he had made a fatal mistake. Although Zhang Liao reminded him, he still underestimated Sun Shao, especially Sun Shao's horse. The horse is not only tall and long, but also a little more than the horse he stepped on, and the starting speed is very amazing. Just now, it was just jogging. Two steps have turned into a gallop. His horse speed has not been lifted, and the iron halberd in his hand has not been flat. Sun Shao has come to him, sharp. The iron halberd reflected a chill light in the early morning sun, and the awe-inspiring murderous spirit came to his face.

The rapid sound of horses' hoofs was like a fierce war drum, almost synchronized with Zhang Wei's beating heart, approaching at Zhang Wei's unexpected speed. At the moment when the two horses staggered, the iron halberd in Sun Shao's hand had stabbed Zhang Wei's chest fiercely. The sharp halberd pierced the armor, separated the armor, and plunged it directly into his body. What's more, it's not the stabbing. Zhang Wei was stabbed by the iron halberd, and his legs could no longer hold the war horse. He was provoked in mid-air by Sun Shao's halberd. A huge pain came. Zhang Wei threw the iron halberd that had not yet to stab it out, held Sun Shao's halberd tightly with both hands, and let out a sad roar.

Face to face, the winner will be judged.

Zhang Liao's face suddenly turned blue, and the soldiers watching the array were also very shocked. They all knew Zhang Wei's martial arts. No one expected that he would be killed by a halberd, and it was so clean and fast that Cao Jian and others who had just stepped on the general stage did not see the process clearly. The first round had already The result.

"This..." Cao Qian was very surprised. He pointed to Sun Shao, who was holding Zhang Wei in front of the battle with one arm, and was speechless.

"How can this be?" Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and scolded and stretched out his hand to get his iron halberd, but Zhang Hu stopped him: "A Weng, Zhang Wei didn't expect his horse to be so fast that he was not ready to hit him. When I kill him, I will avenge Zhang Wei."

Zhang Liao's nose was a little thick. Zhang Wei followed him for many years. After countless battles, he didn't expect to be picked up like this today. He felt ashamed and sad, but he hadn't lost his mind yet. He said hatefully, "Be careful, don't stab him and hurt his life."

"Oh." Zhang Hu answered with his fist, urged the horse to rush out of the battle, and stood opposite Sun Shao in front of the battle. Sun Shao, who was immersed in the joy of winning the first battle, saw someone rushing out again. He shook his hand and threw the seriously injured Zhang Wei aside. He circled his horse and returned to the east side. Someone in Cao's army rushed up to save Zhang Wei, leaving a kind of blood stain.

"The son of General Zhengdong, Yanmen Zhang Hu, came to fight." Zhang Hu shouted loudly and flattened the iron halberd in his hand.

Lv Yi and Gan Yu, who watched the array for Sun Shao, heard that they just put down a little and raised their hearts again. Just now, that person was just a general, but now this is Zhang Liao's son. Zhang Liao may be able to play the martial arts, but he will certainly not be as attentive as his son. Can Sun Shao be Zhang Hu's opponent?

"Sun Shao, Wu County, I'm looking forward to your advice." Sun Shao regained his composure again and said loudly.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of exciting drums in the middle army. Zhang Hu turned his head and looked at it. Cao Jian and others were standing on the general stage of the middle army and looking this way. The two upper drummers were beating the big drums hard. The rumbling drums were like a while, and the sound was rolling in a touching heart. Zhang Hu was grateful and knew that it was Cao Jian who was cheering for him. He immediately owed his body, raised the iron halberd in his hand, and shouted, "Kill!" Slam the horse's buttocks with a halberd. The war horse was in pain, with a long hiss, and suddenly jumped forward. He knew that Sun Shaoma was fast, so as to speed up in advance to prevent Zhang Wei from repeating the same mistake.

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

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Hundreds of Cao's soldiers shouted with the weapons in their hands, with amazing momentum.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Lv Yi raised his arms and shouted. Although his voice was drowned in the roar of Cao Jun, Sun Shao could not hear it at all, but he shouted without hesitation. When Gan Yu saw it, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and shouted. The first sound was silent, and the next day was a little hoarse. When he shouted the third and fourth sounds, he found that feeling and shouted with a red face.

While talking, Sun Shao and Zhang Hu were already crisscrossed. The two iron halberd slammed together with the sound of the wind. At the same time, they felt a shake in their hands. The halberd blade had deviated from the direction, stabbed from the other side, and quickly separated.

"Good!" Zhang Liao shouted in a low voice. He was secretly relieved that Sun Shao's horse was fast. If he accelerated together at the same distance, Zhang Hu would suffer a lot of losses. Now Zhang Hu's first round is safe and sound, indicating that he has found a way to deal with Sun Shao and will not suffer losses on this issue. Next, Zhang Hu's many years of combat experience will give him the upper hand.

Although the soldiers of Cao's army did not think so much as much as Zhang Liao, they were also very excited to see that Zhang Hu and Sun Shao were evenly matched. They shouted loudly to cheer, and Cao Jian and others on the stage were also relieved. If Zhang Hu and Zhang Wei were picked down by Sun Shao like him, it would be true. It's so depressing.

"Son of Wenyuan, it's really good." Cao Yan smiled at Liu Ye and others around him.

"General Zhengdong is a famous tiger general in front of His Highness's tent. How can the tiger father have a dog?" Liu Ye said with a funny smile.

"Well, but this Sun Shao is also good, quite like his father's style." Cao Jian nodded admiringly: "The northerners are good at riding horses, and the southerners are good at boating. He, a southerner, can use the halberd with both hands on the horse. This riding skill alone is valuable. It's not easy to play against Zhang Hu.

"Your Highness is right." Liu Ye said, "I think this man is sitting very firmly on the horse. After a rush just now, one arm can pick up Zhang Wei, and his strength is not weak."

"What Ziyang said is very true." Cao Wei stroked his beard, nodded secretly, and smiled, "It's a pity that my yellow beard is not here. Otherwise, he must be moved."

Liu Ye smiled 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 Xiu laughed proudly.

Just as they spoke, Sun Shao and Zhang Hu turned around and fought for a few more rounds. The more they fought, the more brave they became, and they did not give in to each other. Zhang Hu wants to defeat Sun Shao to avenge Zhang Wei, and Sun Shao wants to make a name for themselves. Of course, he also goes all out. However, he is not in a hurry. After a few rounds, he has found that his martial arts are actually comparable to Zhang Hu. He is tall and strong in the battle horse, with the help of a ram and saddle, and Zhang Husheng is rich in experience, which is what he lacks. Fighting with such an opponent is of great benefit to quickly improve his experience. Therefore, he could clearly prevail, but he deliberately did not use brute force, but tried his best to entangle with Zhang Hu.

The two of you come and go, and there are dozens of rounds in a moment. Every round of handing over has to circle back to the horse and charge again. The real fight is only in the moment after the two horses pass by. In fact, it is far less beautiful as expected, and there are not so many fancy tricks. It's just a few moves, blocking, thorning, pecking, pushing and pulling, but it can't be neglected at all. The speed of the horse running is amazing. Coupled with the superposition of the speed of the two horses, the time that is really conducive to attack is only about a few seconds. Any negligence may cause fatal danger.

After dozens of battles, Sun Shao became more and more energetic and refreshed, and **'s red rabbit also raised his head and tail, full of energy. On the contrary, Zhang Hu was a little gasping for breath. His war horse and strength are not as good as Sun Shao's. With experience, he fought with Sun Shao with all his strength. Although he did not fall behind, his physical strength was too much, and his war horse seemed to be a little afraid of Sun Shao's red rabbit. Every time he had to clamp the horse's abdomen and kick it hard to dare to run with all his strength, which was even more powerful for his physical strength. It's a big burden.

When he circled the horse again and was ready to charge, Zhang Hu tragically found that his war horse legs began to tremble.

"Come again!" Compared with his anguish, Sun Shao was in high spirits and loudly invited to fight. In the fierce sound of war drums, the red rabbit took a big step and galloped over. Sun Shao held a halberd in his hands and approached quickly. Zhang Hu smiled bitterly and kicked the horse. The horse trembled and refused to start. Zhang Hu was in a hurry and kicked hard again, but it was too late. Sun Shao, one by one horse, had rushed to him, scolded angrily, and the iron halberd stabbed him in the face.

Zhang Liao was shocked. He saw that Sun Shao began to accelerate, and when Zhang Hu was still stopped in place, he realized that something was wrong. But when he reacted, he couldn't catch up. Sun Shao had rushed to Zhang Hu and stabbed the iron halberd in his hand. Zhang Liao screamed, Gu Thinking too much, he kicked the horse's abdomen and urged him to take his iron halberd from the hand of the guard. At the same time, he shouted, "Be careful!"

Zhang Hu could no longer hear the sound behind his back. He stared at the rapidly pierced halberd, clenched his teeth, and tried his best to raise the halberd in his hand. All he could do now was to hold Sun Shao's halberd in his hand, and it was very dangerous to do so. As long as Sun Shao twisted his wrist and let the halberd change one direction, he was in a hurry. Everything you do will fail. Even if Sun Shao doesn't change his direction, he can block the halberd, but the strong impact will stab part of the halberd into his body.

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

However, he has no better way.

Zhang Liao, who came from the Pegasus, also saw Zhang Hu's predicament. He couldn't wait to rush to save his son, but all this was a dream. He could only watch Sun Shao's iron halberd stab Zhang Hu's chest.
