Chapter 8 Until the server

Sun Shao has always said to Cao Pi that among the brothers of the Cao family, he admires Cao Zhang the most. Of course, this word has the component of deceiving Cao Pi. He hopes that Cao Pi can focus on foreign warfare, but he must also admit that his words are somewhat sincere - for Cao Zhang, Huang Xuer, Sun Shao has always appreciated and wants to be with He made friends, so he received him so warmly.

However, in front of him, he knew that his hot face touched other people's cold buttocks - Cao was not interested in making friends with him, and he came to find trouble. Cui Qian is his cronies. If you don't include Su's thick legs, the former general who is still in a state of stealth, Cui Qian is his first hitter. Cao Zhang's provocation to him is equivalent to provocation to Sun Shao, the king of Yue.

Cui Qian's signature is not used to pick out his ears, but to urge his life. Cao Zhang wants to see his signature, which is equivalent to giving him a life-and-death war. Either you urge my life, or I will take your life.

Although the Han Dynasty has been advocated by Emperor Guangwu for 200 years of civil rule, the pride hidden in the blood has not dissipated. Don't say that you can't accept being insulted in front of your face, even your family can't. Sun Shao crossed the river to challenge Zhang Liao because of Gan Ning's humiliation and Sun Ce. There were still some elements of conspiracy in it, but others didn't have so much thoughts. Now Xiahou Dun, the general of the State of Wei, became famous because someone insulted his teacher, and he pulled out a knife to kill people in anger.

There are countless such examples, which are not uncommon. It is rare for people to be insulted but swallow their anger.

What's more, Cui Qian is a happy pirate.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to grant permission and let me fight with you." Cui Qian took off his helmet and held it under his armpit and bowed.

Sun Shao's eyebrows were squeezed into Sichuan characters. He looked at Cao Zhang, who was disdainful, and the smile on his face also went away. He lowered his face and looked at the arrogant Cao Zhang: "Are you challenging Cui Qian or me to cross the country?"

Cao Zhang shook his head: "The foreign minister just wanted to compete with General Cui in martial arts, and he didn't have the courage to provoke the competition between the two countries."

Sun Shao curled his lips and sneered: "It doesn't matter. Although we have not been in the country for a long time, we are not afraid of anyone's challenge. If you have an idea, I, Sun Shao, will continue at any time.

"I really don't have this idea." Cao Zhang couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't expect Sun Shao to be so arrogant that he wanted to expand the situation. He had a problem with Sun Shao. First, because Sun Shao disrupted Cao's overall plan, which made Cao's surprise. Second, Sun Shao went back and forth between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, which was obviously malicious. Although he and Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are both maternal compatriots, because of his surname, he prefers Cao Zhi, who is less scheming, and does not like Cao Pi, who is too gloomy. Sun Shao and Cao Pi approached, and he classified Sun Shao as the enemy. What's more, the purpose of Cao Wei sent him to Youzhou was to prevent Sun Shao.

However, he has not yet arouse the courage to fight between the two countries of Wei and Yue. Although the State of Wei is still the strongest, there are many internal and external troubles, and we can't fight with the State of Yue. Cao's order is to prevent the Chinese and not declare war.

So no matter how bold Cao Zhang is, he dares not say that he challenges the State of Yue. No matter how Sun Shao forces him, he can't admit this charge.

"In that case, you leave my ship." Sun Shao said something very annoying: "I don't have anything cheap here. You can't afford to pay for it if you break it."

Cui Qian calmly took off his helmet and took off the left general's seal on his waist, indicating that he was the one to fight now, and then went out of the door with a sword. Cao Zhang also handed over the helmet and seal to Tian Yu's hand. Despite Tian Yu's repeated hints, he picked up the sword and followed Cui Qian off Sun Shao's ship and came to a newly prepared horse.

The walking horse is a small boat, only ten steps long and two steps wide. The shape of the boat is thin, and the stable surname is naturally poor. The white spray of water beats the side of the boat, blowing the walking boat wobbly. Cui Qian's legs were slightly separated, his hands were in front of his chest, his head was slightly raised, and his chin was raised. He looked contemptuously at Cao Zhang, who looked obviously uncomfortable: "Cui Qian is a pirate, and the ship is my territory. If Cao Shijun is not used to the boat, he dares to fight, I can also accompany you ashore."

Cao Zhang was really not used to it. He didn't feel anything when he was on Sun Shao's boat. As soon as he got on the horse boat, he immediately felt a little guilty - it was very bad to stand with his legs unsteady. However, according to the rules of the challenge, since you have come to the door, of course, the place is their territory. Do you still have to follow the place you chose? Just like Sun Shao went to challenge Zhang Liao, he could only ride a horse. If he wanted Zhang Liao to fight with him on the boat, it would be a joke.

Cao Zhang often challenges, but this time he neglected a problem. The kings and ministers of Yue are both born as pirates. Their territory is on the water, which is not the same as the environment he is familiar with. Now, he understands why Sun Shao just confirmed whether he challenged Cui Qian himself or Yue. They can challenge Sun Shao's boat, and Cui Qian. You can only follow Cui Qian's choice, the boat.

Sun Shao's scope definition made him lose all the opportunities and was in a very unfavorable situation. Cao Zhang gritted his teeth with hatred. He had known that this boy was insidious for a long time, but he didn't expect him to be so insidious. No wonder Tian Yu winking at him just now.

It's too late to regret, not to mention that Cao Zhang didn't think Cui Qian could beat him on the boat. He calmed down, raised his hands with his eyebrows, slowly pulled out the scabbard and held it in his left hand, played with a knife in his right hand, pointed the tip of the knife diagonally upward, stepped back half a step, bent his knees into a sitting horse, and said loudly, "Cao County Cao Zhang, challenge the general. A bear-patterned ring knife, six feet and three inches long, weighing ten catties and eight taels.

Sun Shao frowned when he saw Cao Zhang's sword. The ring knife is usually four feet long and weighs about three catties. Some of the force can be as long as five feet. Of course, some are longer, but the longer the weapon, the higher the strength requirements. Cao Zhang's sword is not only six feet three inches long, but also weighs more than ten catties, twice as heavy than ordinary knives, indicating that his knife is not only long and thick, but also may be meteorite iron. In this way, the role of the new sword in Cui Qian's hand will be greatly reduced.

Although Cui Qian's martial arts skills are good, in the face of Cao Zhang, Sun Shao does not think he can have the upper hand.

Cui Qian's slender eyes narrowed, smiled faintly, and also raised the knife: "Cui Qian of the South China Sea, in response to Cao's challenge, the standard broken thief ring knife, four feet and one inch long, weighing three catties and eight taels."

"Please." Cao Zhang was not in the mood to fight with Cui Qian. He held the knife in one hand, pointed the tip of the knife directly at Cui Qian, and stood firmly on the boat with his slightly separated legs. The master's demeanor was fully displayed - if he did not consider the dilemma that he had to brake quietly.

Cui Qian threw away the scabbard, held the knife with both hands, slowly took a step, and slowly forced Cao Zhang. When the two were less than three steps apart, Cui Qian, who had been very cautious, suddenly roared, flew up, and waving the knife with both hands to lower his arms with all his strength. Cao Zhang smiled indifferently, waved the knife with one hand, and the two knives intersected. The "choking--" roared like a dragon and a tiger, and the sparks were shining everywhere. Everyone next to him was in awe. Cao Zhang's arm was amazing. Although he held the knife in one hand, Cui Qian did not take any advantage. He only felt a strong force, and his arm was so numb that he almost couldn't hold the knife. However, he had long heard from Sun Shao that Cao Zhang was the best among the three brothers of the Cao family. It was said that he was strong enough to fight with the lion, so he did not panic. With Cao Zhang's long knife, he cut half a circle in the air, cut it horizontally, and went straight to Cao Zhang's waist and abdomen.

Cao Zhang did not panic. The long knife turned over and protected it around his waist, and the two knives fell to each other again.

Cui Qian cut out thirteen knives in one breath, but Cao Zhang stood still. He just waved a long knife and blocked Cui Qian's attack one by one. He was as easy as walking. He even carried his left hand behind him and dealt with Cui Qian with only one hand. There was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were full of cat-and-mouse contempt.

Cui Qian cut thirteen knives. Seeing that he couldn't play, he pulled out and retreated. Cao Zhang was waiting for this opportunity at the earliest. His eyes were awe-in-headed, and he followed like a shadow. The six-foot-three-inch-long bear-patterned ring unfolded and rolled to Cui Qian like a storm. Cui Qian didn't feel much about the weight of his knife when he attacked, but now he has become a defense and is immediately under great pressure.

Every knife cut by Cao Zhang was like a heavy hammer hitting his knife fiercely, which made his arm numb and his whole body numb. He couldn't resist and could only retreat to remove Cao Zhang's powerful power like a tiger.

Cao Zhang cut seven knives in a row and took seven steps forward. He not only forced Cui Qian back to his original position, but also made Cui Qian sweat profusely. The light of the knife was scattered and the defeat appeared.

Seeing this, Cao Zhang's men's eyebrows were flying one by one, and even Tian Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. Although Cao Zhang was not used to boats, he first attacked with defense, braked calmly, and then counterattacked with all his strength when Cui Qian changed power, and did not give Cui Qian any chance. This opportunity was a good.

Tian Yu looked at Sun Shao with some pride, but he was a little surprised. Sun Shao and several people around him were very calm and did not look nervous or worried like others. On the contrary, he was still talking and laughing, saying something to a general without a beard standing next to him.

Tian Yu was a little puzzled for a moment. He turned his eyes to Cao Zhang again, but he saw that Cao Zhang had forced Cui Qian to the bow of the ship and was cutting out an earth-shaking knife. The knife was raised high, and the bright sound of the knife reflected the dazzling sunlight, and then split down with the wind. Cui Qian stood in the bow of the boat, and there was no way out behind him, and all the space in front of him was sealed by Cao Zhang. There was no way to avoid it. He was about to be cut in half by Cao Zhang.

"You can't do it." Tian Yu shouted. It's enough to defeat Cui Qian. If he really wants to kill him, Sun Shao will definitely not give up.

However, it was too late to scream. Cao Zhang's mind was all focused on this knife and did not hear his words at all.

Even if you hear it, it's too late.

Almost everyone let out a scream.

However, at this moment, Cui Qian, who seemed to be exhausted, suddenly showed a sneer. The long knife hanging in front of him suddenly burst into a clump of knife light and greeted Cao Zhang's six-foot long knife without hesitation. What's more surprising is that he actually jumped up.

Tian Yu was shocked and then breathed a sigh of relief. Cui Qian jumped up. Obviously, he wanted to use the power of Cao Zhang's knife to dive and escape. He was beaten into the water by Cao Zhang. It was certain to lose some face, but it was impossible to die.

What Tian Yu didn't expect was that Cui Qian jumped off the boat. The hull just shook a little, but Cui Qian fell down again and stepped on the bow that was already slightly raised. More importantly, with the strength of Cao Zhang's sword, he took a step aside and deviated from the original position. As soon as I stepped on it, I stepped on the side of the boat.

The horse shook violently and rushed to the feet of Cao Zhang, who rushed to the bow. He subconsciously sat on the horse and wanted to stand firmly, but Cui Qian did not give him this opportunity. He shouted angrily and flew into Cao Zhang's shoulder. Cao Zhang stretched out his left hand to block Cui Qian, but Cui Qian's timing of the collision was good. When he stepped on the rebound of the ship after sinking, the rebound power of the sea water, coupled with the weight change of Cui Qian's jump, the shaking range of the ship suddenly increased by two or three times, and the heaven and earth in Cao Zhang's eyes shook instantly, and then Coupled with Cui Qian's full impact, he didn't have time to react at all, so he tilted his body and fell into the water with Cui Qian.

With a "plop", the water splashed everywhere, splashing water on Tian Yu's face.

Tian Yu was stunned. After a short time of the plane, he threw away the helmet and seal in his hand and shouted, "Save people!"

"Two against one?" Chen Hai suddenly took a step in the slanting and stopped in front of Tian Yu. He smiled, revealing his white teeth with his surname, and the half-cut sword reflected each other: "I'll accompany you."

Tian Yu took a breath of cold air. He took a look at the bad-looking soldiers of Yue next to him, and quickly turned around and arched his hand to Sun Shao: "Your Highness, the victory and defeat have been divided. Please order your Highness to save people." He paused and almost cried: "My family can't use water."

"Tian Jun, don't worry." Sun Shao waved his hand calmly: "General Cui will be measured. He won't die if he doesn't see him."

Of course, Cui Qian will not die, but he did not spare Cao Zhang lightly. When he was on the boat, he was beaten by Cao Zhang, and almost cut off half of his body. When it came to the sea, it was his world. After holding Cao Zhang's hair and pressing him in the water and drinking a full stomach of water, he was satisfied. Cao Zhang pulled up and said to Sun Shao with an apologetically, "Your Majesty, he is so heavy that I almost can't lift him."

Tian Yu knew that Cui Qian was doing something bad, but he had no choice but to hug him with his men to save Cao Zhang. After spitting out astringent sea water, Cao Zhang finally sat up. Originally, his beard was a little yellow, but now even his eyes are a little yellow. Before Tian Yu was happy, Cui Qian pushed everyone away and squeezed over again.

"Cao Xijun, you fell into the water just now. We haven't decided the winner yet. You change your clothes and we'll continue."

Cao Zhang's eyes turned angrily and he didn't know what to say. Tian Yu and others were also stunned. This pirate was too shameless. He just filled Cao Zhang with a belly of sea water. He finally woke up and wanted to continue to fight? Tian Yu turned his eyes to Sun Shao, but Sun Shao shrugged his shoulders: "Don't look at me. This is a private matter for the two of them. Since it's a challenge, we have to win or lose. If Cao Xijun admits defeat now, of course he doesn't have to fight. If he doesn't admit defeat, he will continue to fight. He smiled and looked at Chen Hai and others, "At the end of the service, do you think so?"

"Of course, if you want to fight, you can fight until you serve." Chen Hai and others echoed with one voice. They were all provoked by Cao Zhang's arrogance and lack of knowledge. My Yuewang is so polite that you actually put your nose on your face and don't give you some interest. There is no Yue country in your eyes.

"Are you convinced?" Cui Qian looked condescendingly at Cao Zhang, who was sitting on the deck, with some bitterness hanging on the corners of his mouth, and his big feet swayed leisurely on the deck.

Although Cao Zhang was dizzy, he was not willing to admit defeat. He insisted on getting up, stood on the deck staggeringly, and hissed, "I'm convinced of you, your ancestors. If you have the guts, come again. Let's see if I don't live to split you, you."

"Dead son." Cui Qian was most annoying to say that he was a barbarian. As soon as he heard this, he fought. Cao Zhang grabbed him and punched him. However, he was filled with a bellyful of water, and only 30% of his strength was left, which was comparable to Cui Qian's sore arm. This time, the two hugged each other first, and then fell down and rolled around on the deck. The image was not a little bit or two.

It doesn't seem to be two masters. It's clear that they are two scoundrels.

Tian Yu couldn't laugh or cry and wanted to surround them and separate them, but Chen Hai, Yuehai and others were gloating and stopped them to death until they could not be divided. The deck of the originally majestic Yue throne ship suddenly became as lively as the vegetable market. The monarchs and ministers of Yue began with Sun Shao and shouted with no demeanor.

Sun Deng stood on the Flying Tiger next to him accompanied by Zhuge Jin and his son, Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi. Sun Shangxiang held the railing and shouted. He couldn't wait to jump over the boat to kick Cao Zhang's feet. There was no shadow in the lady's appearance. Sun Deng and Zhuge Jin looked at each other and shook their heads with a wry smile. The emperors and ministers of Yue did not want to have any demeanor from top to bottom. Although they had established a country, they were still a group of pirates. It's not easy to deal with such shameless people and take advantage of them.

"Fly! Hit him until he obeys. Sun Shao jumped up and down, as happy as if it were the Spring Festival.

"Brother, let them stop." Sun Tai pleaded with a bitter face. Sun Shao, who was excited, was stunned. Only then did he remember that Cao Zhang was not an outsider. He was the son-in-law of the Sun family. If he really wanted to break it, his sister, who could not remember his face, had to be a widow. Then he nodded and strode forward. He grabbed one in one hand and separated them. He lifted them to the edge of the boat, loosened his hands, and threw both of them into the sea. Then he turned around and clapped his hands and said to Tian Yu, "Go down and save him. Change his clothes and come back to see me."

Tian Yu was stunned. Cui Qian was of medium-sized, and his physique did not look very strong, but Cao Zhang knew that his weight was far more than that of ordinary people. Sun Shao was as relaxed as carrying a child. Not to mention his martial arts, I'm afraid that his strength is not worse than Cao Zhang.

"What are you looking at? If you don't save people, you will really drown." Sun Shao frowned and said angrily.

Tian Yu came to his senses and quickly ordered his men to jump into the sea to pick up Cao Zhang, who was fluttering in the water, and send him to a cabin arranged by Sun Shao to rest. Cao Zhang was thrown into the sea twice in a row and fought with Cui Qian again. This time, he was really withered. He lay on ** with the smell of fresh wood, and his eyes were gone.

The door squeaked softly, and a petite figure stood at the door, blocking a little dazzling midday sunshine. Tian Yu, who was worried, turned his head and quickly fell to the ground: "Tian Yu, a foreign minister, see Mrs. Yue."

Xia Houhui couldn't see a smile on her white face. She waved the silk handkerchief in her hand to cover her nose and said faintly, "You all go out. I'll talk to my uncle."

Tian Yu hesitated for a moment, got up and withdrew from the cabin with someone. Xia Houhui sat in front of the door with a thin finger. A middle-aged medical craftsman with a medicine box hurried to the bed, gave Cao Zhang a pulse, and looked into his eyes again. Then he retreated to Xia Houhui and whispered, "Madam, Cao Shijun is strong. Although he drank some water, it was not a big deal. As long as he rested for a day or two, he would OK."

"I know, you can go out, too." Xia Houhui nodded, and the doctor left the cabin. Then she slowly walked to the bed and looked down at the powerless Cao Zhang. Cao Zhang looked into her eyes and turned his head aside with some embarrassment. Xia Houhui's father, Xia Houshang, is Cao Pi's best friend. Cao Zhang has nothing to do with their family. Now under such circumstances, it is really not a good time for Xia Houhui to visit him.

"Uncle, Your Highness sent you to Youzhou to fight with the men of the King of Yue?" Xia Houhui sat sideways, carefully wrapped his skirt, and took a look at the feet exposed outside the skirt. His face turned inexplicably red, and he carefully received his feet into the skirt. Cao Zhang lay on ** and didn't see it. Xia Houhui did not wear foot clothes, and wore a pair of strange-looking claws on his feet. A few slender leather strips fixed the claws on Bai Yu's small feet. The five delicate toes were painted with bright Dan Kou, red and white, and beautiful - these are all Sun Shao's masterpieces masterpieces. The claws are Sun Shao. Designed by himself, Dan Kou was directly painted by Sun Shao.

Cao Zhang muttered in his throat without saying a word. He was ashamed when he remembered Cao's order. As soon as he met with Sun Shao, he messed up the matter. He not only failed to suppress Sun Shao's momentum, but also lost face. I don't know what my father Cao Wei and brother Cao Pi will think when they hear the news. The father must be very angry, but the brother will probably laugh secretly, right?

"King Yue doesn't like Uncle Zihuan, but Brother Zihuan can become his friend. King Yue appreciates you, but you fight with his men." Xia Houhui's voice is crisp and cold, which always makes people feel too calm and wise, not like a child who is only 11 years old. Her expression also seemed to be mature, which made Cao Zhang invisibly feel a little inferior. Why didn't she understand what even an 11-year-old child could think of? Although his father asked him to beware of Sun Shao, he knew that his father had always admired Sun Shao, and Sun Shao was also good to his father. His father's head disease was cured by Sun Shao. Although they were enemies, they were enemies who appreciated each other. His father asked him to come to Youzhou, and he was by no means to let him fight with Sun Shao.

"Yuanrong, King Yue...isn't he very angry?" Cao Zhang licked his lips and said awkwardly.
