Chapter 12 The third leg

"Left and right cloud hands... inverted rainbow... wild horse manes..."

On the beach like silver by the moonlight, Xiahou Hui practiced Taijiquan with Sun Shao's command, and his boxing was relaxed and comfortable. Coupled with the plain gauze that moved with the wind, the whole person looked very holy.

"Stop!" Sun Shao suddenly drank her, strode up, and pulled away Xia Houhui's clenched fist: "Why is this fist so tight? The grip is too tight and the breath is not smooth. Is it a little gasping?

Xia Houhui looked at Sun Shao timidly, spit out his tongue, and explained softly, "My sister has always taught me like this."

"Silver screen..." Sun Shao came to his mouth and swallowed it back. He glanced at Xia Houhui's shining eyes in the moonlight: "Is she in a bad mood recently?"

"Hmm." Xia Houhui lowered her head and said, "She misss her mother and her mother."

"I knew it." Sun Shao shook his arms, shook off the cloak, and exposed the robe inside: "Look carefully, pay attention to the rotation of all the joints." After saying that, he started from the first style. The wild horse divided the mane, the jade girl shuttled, the single whip, and the one-style exercise continued. The movements were smooth and the expression was elegant, like a fairy, which made Xiahou Hui look like a sin.

"Do it again." Sun Shao hooked his fingers and motioned Xia Houhui to do it again, "Remember, you don't need to use your strength, and you can experience the subtle changes in your body in every action."

Xia Houhui didn't say a word. With Sun Shao's instructions, she practiced boxing until a fine sweat appeared on her forehead. She found that although Sun Shao's and Guan Feng's movements were the same, after Sun Shao's adjustment, the result was very different. After the exercise, she felt hot all over and sweated slightly, but there was no such anger. The feeling of panting.

"Where is my sister? I'm going to tell her."

"It's not that I haven't taught her, it's because she's moody." Sun Shao took the fox fox from Shi Fu's hand, put it on Xia Houhui's shoulder, and said, "Do you say that I'm cruel?"

Xia Houhui grabbed Qiu Ling and shook his head: "Husband, don't blame your sister. Mother and son are connected. It can't be like you men. In fact, she also knows that her husband and King Wu are not the same person.

"I know." Sun Shao took Xia Houhui's hand and walked slowly along the beach. Silver Screen is simple-minded and won't think so much. It's not surprising that she has this idea. Wait a minute. When this war is over, I will find a way to get them back.

Xia Houhui bit his lips and thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to exchange it with a war horse?"

"Yes." Sun Shao turned her head and glanced at this extremely intelligent girl. As soon as she showed a little meaning, she guessed that she was really intelligent.

Xia Houhui's long eyelashes flashed twice, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

"Why?"

"The more you want to take them back, the more the King of Wu will not let go." Xia Houhui held Sun Shao's hand and whispered, "The more valuable the hostages are, the more strictly controlled they are, and those who are dispensable hostages are more free. There are many hostages like Yecheng, and I have seen too many. Zang Ba and Sun Guan also have sons in Yecheng, but they often default on their annual expenses, and the king of Wei can only let it go.

Sun Shao blinked: "I know this truth, but I can't stop my heart, so no matter what I do, I must take them back."

"Then... husband, you need to prepare more ways." Xia Houhui hesitated for a moment and reminded him, "It's just right, right and strange, which is the way of the soldier."

"Ha ha ha, I didn't expect you to study the art of war." Sun Shao smiled.

"It's not about research, I've just seen some." Xia Houhui blushed and said shyly, "It's just talking about soldiers on paper. It's okay to be reasonable. If you really want me to arrange it, I can't do it. It's not as good as sister Feng can fight on the battlefield with her husband."

Sun Shao didn't say anything. He knew what Xia Houhui wanted to ask, but he couldn't say it yet. It's not that he doesn't trust Xia Houhui, but that the fewer people know some things, the better.

"Husband, why don't you want to occupy Liaodong?" Seeing that Sun Shao didn't say anything, Xia Houhui knew that he didn't want to know Guan Feng's where he was going, so he opened the topic: "I think Zang Ba and others are very disappointed. If their husband occupies Liaodong, it will be more beneficial to them."

"Although my occupation of Liaodong is beneficial to them, it is not good to the whole situation." Sun Shao's tone was a little erratic, as if he could be blown away by the sea breeze at any time. Cao Gong will not rest assured that I will occupy Liaodong. At that time, there will be a dispute. Why bother? I just need a few islands."

"However, the territory of Yue is really too small." Xiahou Hui's slender eyebrows shrugged: "Husband takes care of the overall situation by himself, but what about the ministers? They all hope to split the earth and pass it on to their descendants.

"There is a lot of land, so why is it in Liaodong?" Sun Shao smiled and pinched Xiahou Hui's hand: "The fief of Xiahou's family is the fief of Xiahou's servant in those years?"

The ancestor of Xiahou Hui was Xiahouying, the servant of Emperor Gaozu. Xiahouying was a friend of Gaozu Liu Bang when he did not make a fortune. Later, he followed Liu Bang to fight and drive for him. He saved the later Xiaohui Emperor Liu Ying and Lu Yuan Princess Liu Le. Gaozu died, Queen Lv was in power, and many meritorious officials were deposed, but he was saved in those years. He was still a stable servant of the emperor. Emperor Wen was the son of heaven on behalf of the king, and he was a servant because of his achievements. He can be said to be the most stable meritorious minister in the early Han Dynasty. However, in spite of this, the Ruyin Marquis was only broken when it was passed on to his great-grandson, Xiahou.

"That's what I said, but... others don't think so."

"I will give them a better hand." Sun Shao smiled and said, "I don't want cunning rabbits to die and running dogs to cook, but I don't expect them to have no desire. Such things as selflessness can only ask for yourself, not others.

"But isn't it right to govern the country with virtue? If you are not moral, the world is full of corrupt officials. How can you govern the world? Xia Houhui looked up and looked at Sun Shao blankly. Sun Shao's theory and practice of governing the country are too far from what she knows. The Han Dynasty was based on agriculture, focusing on agriculture and suppressing merchants, but Sun Shao valued industry and commerce, so he simply gave up farming. The Han Dynasty took officials with virtue and valued Confucian scholars. His subordinates were either pirates or craftsmen. Although there were many scholars, there were not many.

"Of course, but if you pull it too high, it's too much." Sun Shaoxun followed the good inducement and took every opportunity to instill some of the problems she thought to Xia Houhui. She was still young. Although she had studied some scriptures, she was easier to accept new ideas after all. Moreover, her scripture foundation is better than his. After her understanding and polishing, she put on a layer of Confucian academic clothing, and then feedback to him, others will sound much better. He also said these words to Guan Feng, but Guan Feng was not interested in these ways to govern the country. She was only interested in the guerrilla warfare and blitzkriegment mentioned by Sun Shao. For example, a person's two legs are similar, so that he can go far. If one leg is strong but the other leg is weak, can he still go far? Morality and talent are just like these two legs.

"What will happen to those three legs?" Xia Houhui stretched out a finger, supported his little red face, and tilted his head to look at Sun Shao.

"Three legs?" Sun Shao was stunned and looked at Xia Houhui puzzledly: "Where did the three legs come from?"

"I don't know either." Xia Houhui was also a little confused: "Senior Feng said that you once told her that a man has three legs, and whether the third one is strong or not is a crucial issue."

Sun Shao suddenly realized that he suddenly blushed and couldn't say it twice. He talked about him, but he sighed secretly in his heart that Guan Feng was really deceived by Xiahou Hui, and even told her the words in the boudoir. Xia Houhui was also a little embarrassed to see that Sun Shao stopped talking. Although she still didn't understand what the third leg was referring to, she could guess from Sun Shao's expression that it was definitely not a serious word.

The sea breeze is blowing gently, the waves are blowing on the shore, and the two lines of footprints are getting farther and farther along the beach.

On the west bank of the Daliang River, under a hillside called Daliang Mountain, Fuyu Wang Qiutai was watching the song and dance with great interest. Several blonde, blue-eyed, tall and plump dancers were circling in the tent in tune. With the rotation, their skirts flew high, revealing their slender calves under the skirts, and they raised them high. The arms and fingers played with many tricks, sometimes like a flexible snake, and sometimes like a winged bird. The sleeves slipped to the shoulders, exposing all the slender arms in front of Wei Qiutai.

Wei Qiutai laughed, grabbed a handful of corn rice from the bamboo beans and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he got up and walked to the middle of the dance, turned his head and crotch, and danced together. Both men and women can sing and dance well. Yu Qiutai is also a master, and he has become the center of the dancers in a moment. He wrapped his hand around the waist of a plump dancer. The two looked at each other affectionately and danced intoxicatedly.

Yu Qiutai can't be in a bad mood. This time, Cao Zhang and Sun Shao and Chen Bing were in Liaoshui. Gongsun Gong was so scared that he sent someone to send troops to help him and agreed to his rich conditions. I thought it was a fierce battle, but I didn't expect that the fight had not started, but Cao Zhang and Sun Shao had an infere. I heard that they were fighting lively at the seaside, and they couldn't tell the winner for a while. Wei Qiutai followed Yang Yi to attack Liaoning Tunnel City. Yang Yi gave him another good job and took his men to station on the west bank of the Liao River to prevent Cao Zhang from suddenly returning. Wei Qiutai knew that Cao Zhang was strong and a good warrior, so he was very careful and sent the scouts to the seaside. It has been very calm in the past few days. The news sent back by the scouts said that Sun Shao had come to send reinforcements. Cao Zhang was a little tight and had retreated from the seaside for 30 miles.

Wei Qiutai is not worried. After 30 miles, there are still nearly a hundred miles. Although Cao Zhang has cavalry, he only has 4,000 cavalry, and the remaining 10,000 people are all pedesters. They have to walk for at least two days. With these two days, he can calmly do the most beneficial thing. To make your own choice.

The latest news has just arrived. Cao Zhang's camp has not been strange. It seems that he has been held back by Sun Shao and will not be able to help Liaoning Tunnel City for a while. Thinking of Liaoning Tunnel City, Wei Qiutai's psychology is a little complicated. His grandfather, who has the same name, started from here and took a boat to Luoyang, Kyoto, Dahan, to be a proton. It's hard to be a proton, especially in the eyes of the Han people. His ancestor lived in Luoyang for more than ten years before he came back. After coming back, he could speak fluent Luoyang dialect and behaved generously and decently, which was no different from the Han people. However, he was rejected by the clan and finally lost in the struggle for heirs. In his later years, he has been living in Liaoning Tunnel City. Wei Qiutai learned about his grandfather's deeds from his grandmother and saw the seal given by the emperor of the Han Dynasty left by his grandfather. He couldn't put down the exquisite embroidery and official seal, but he hated these that made him lose the opportunity to become the king of Fuyu.

He could have been the king of Fuyu smoothly, instead of winning the throne by surrendering to Gongsun as he is now.

His biggest dream is to wait for the strength of the tribe to grow, break away from the big man and live a free life again. And this time, Gongsun Gong gave him this opportunity. As long as he helps Gongsun Gong defeat Cao Zhang and Sun Shao, he can get a large amount of property and population, and he can return to his hometown and become a real husband.

Although Wei Qiutai is not very clear about the situation of the big man, he still knows the general situation. The current big man is not the previous big man. The current big man is as weak as an old man. Even an incompetent person like Gongsun Gong can dominate Liaodong. What prestige does the big man have to subdue the world? Fu Yuren, Xianbei people, and Wuwan people, whether they are submissive to the Han Dynasty or still reading, are ready to move and wait for an opportunity.

This opportunity originally appeared forty years ago. After the defeat of the Han army by Tan Shihuai, the king of the Xianbei people, all the tribes on the grassland thought that the opportunity to invade the Han Dynasty had come. No one expected that Tan Shihuai, who was in the limelight, suddenly died inexplicably, and his son and Lian was a fool at all. The incomparable Xianbei people are torn apart in a blink of an eye. Later, Liaodong had two Gongsuns, one was Gongsun Zan of the White Horse. He was the nightmare of the Wuwan people, and the other was Gongsun Du. He was the nightmare of the Goguryeo people and the Xianbei people. The rest of the people were sandwiched between the Goguryeo and the Xianbei people, and they were even the mouse in the windbox. In this case, Wei Qiutai was forced to be helpless and had to submit to Gongsun Du. Of.

Now Gongsun Zan is dead, and Gongsun Du is also dead. The Xianbei people are in chaos, and the opportunity for the rest of the husbands has come.

Wei Qiutai couldn't help but be unhappy. He pulled the dancer and danced excitedly. The smooth and soft arms of the dancer made him infatuated with him. He pulled hard and pulled the dancer into his arms. With a silver smile and waved his hand, the other dancers immediately retreated, and the dancer he left was cleverly pasted up. He gently untied his belt with his dexterous fingers, and the thick fur opened, revealing the brocade clothes inside. This was his high price from the merchant. What he bought from China was a symbol of his identity. He was afraid of being stained by the dance trick, so he went to untie the brocade belt in person. The brocade belt is very slippery, but it opens with a gentle pull, revealing the white clothes inside.

Who said that barbarians are dirty? Wei Qiutai is a very clean person.

The dancer touched Yu Qiutai's brocade belt with envy, and the slippery feeling of the brocade belt made her look dwarfed.

"Do you want it?" Wei Qiutai narrowed his eyes and smiled. The dancer was shocked and quickly let go. Wei Qiutai laughed and said, "Don't be afraid. It's comfortable for me to serve me. I'll give you a hair tie."

The dancer looked at Yu Qiutai in surprise. Although it was just a hairband, it was also a rare thing. She went to relieve Wei Qiutai's Xiaoyi with joy, and her hand reached in along the edge of Xiaoyi. As soon as she reached Wei Qiutai's waist, Wei Qiutai suddenly grasped her wrist. Wu Ji was shocked and thought that he had made Wei Qiutai unhappy. He was about to ask, but he saw that Wei Qiutai was looking at the curtain door unhappily.

A panting warrior stood at the gate of the tent.

"What's the matter?" Wei Qiutai asked angrily. Being interrupted at this time is really not something that can make him happy.

"Cao Zhang is here." The samurai pointed to the outside of the account: "Now it is up to five miles away from the camp."

"Five miles?" Wei Qiutai was shocked and pushed away the dance trick, pushed her unsteadily, and fell on the tent with a plop. Wei Qiutai didn't look at it. He stepped forward, grabbed the warrior's collar, and shouted angrily, "Why didn't you come to repay until now?"

"They are too fast." The warrior blushed and stammered, "When we found them, they were already very close to us. I almost ran the horse to death before I robbed a few miles in front of them.

"So fast?" Wei Qiutai frowned: "How many people?"

"Four or five thousand people, all of whom are cavalry."

"There are only four or five thousand people." Wei Qiutai breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Explore again."

The samurai breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went out of the account. Wei Qiutai immediately beat the drum to raise the account. He was not worried. Cao Zhang only had four or five thousand people, and he had nearly ten thousand people. As long as Cao Zhang's brain was not broken, he did not dare to attack himself. As long as he was not given a chance to attack, it was useless for Cao Zhang to run here. He could only return empty-handed.

However, Captain Qiu Tai expected that when he was gathering to discuss the generals, Cao Zhang rushed to the outside of the camp and launched an attack. In a short time, he defeated the guerrilla force that came forward to intercept and rushed directly into the camp of Wei Qiutai. The speed was so fast that everyone was unexpected that Wei Qiutai's subordinates did not even have time to fight.

Four thousand cavalry, mainly from the Omaru people, rushed into the camp, waving sharp ring knives and spears, and killed them. Everywhere they went, they were in a mess. Cao Zhang's left hand spear and his right hand ring knife rushed to the front. Next to him were 300 guard riders equipped with the new-style swords provided by Sun Shao. As soon as they rushed into the camp of Wei Qiutai, they were divided into queues about two or three feet apart, passing through the camp and killing the enemies they met one by one.

The sword provided by Sun Shao is very sharp. When the knife goes down, the spear and sword in Fu Yuren's hand are broken. Most of the people have no armor, and a few have leather armor. As for the iron armor, there is even less. Only more than a thousand masters can afford it. In front of Cao Zhang and others, they are no different from being naked. Wherever the sword goes, even iron armor is useless, not to mention leather armor and even simple leather jackets.

Cao Zhang slashed and killed smoothly, and all the desolation he ate in Sun Shaoying for so many days has been vented. Now he has finally recovered some good impression on Sun Shao. The 300 guard riders equipped with a new-style sword are simply unstoppable. They easily tear off the resistance of Fu Yuren. Just now, he met You I didn't feel it when I was a cavalry, but now I rush into the camp, and the effect is much more obvious.

In the face of the fierce Cao army cavalry, Fu Yuren was dumbfounded. They had no time to organize effective resistance at all. They watched Cao Zhang's Wuwan people passing by.

"Heaven's killing of the world!" Wei Qiutai, who rushed out of the big tent, cursed. The Wuwan people were really gutless. Unexpectedly, they became the dogs of the Han people and helped the Han people to kill the husbands of the grassland tribe. Although the rest of the people and the Wuwan people have fought, they also have hatred, but you can't be the dogs of the Han people.

The Han cavalry led by Cao Zhang could not understand Wei Qiutai's words, but when they saw the brocade clothes on Wei Qiutai and the luxurious tent behind him, they immediately knew his identity. Cao Zhang roared excitedly and threw the spear in his hand.

The spear is like electricity, like a huge arrow. It flew 80 steps away in an instant and penetrated the chest of Wei Qiutai. Wei Qiutai was led back a few steps by the huge force on the spear, and did not stop until he leaned against the tent. He looked at half of the handle of the spear and couldn't believe his eyes. Can anyone throw a spear at such a long distance with his arm? This is simply a human-strong crossbow.

The rapid death of Wei Qiutai brought immeasurable losses to the Fuyu people. The Fuyu people who were not prepared in the first place lost their command and fought separately. They were not Cao Zhang's opponents at all. He rushed back and forth with the cavalry twice. The Fuyu people collapsed. Some of them threw down the weapons in their hands, knelt down and surrendered, and some transferred horses. Head, turn around and run away. Under Cao Zhang's order, the group of cavalry dispersed and chased in all directions. Behind Wei Qiutai was the beam water. The rest of the people panicked. Many people jumped into the cold beam water and drowned, and only a small number of people escaped.

In just one hour, Cao Zhang broke through the camp of Fuyu people and killed Fuyu Wangwei Qiutai on the spot. The first battle was won, and morale was boosted. While informing Tian Yu to lead the pace, Cao Zhang reorganized the team, passed through the water, and chose the opportunity to attack Wang Baqi of Goguryeo.

The news reached Yang Yi's ears, and Yang Yi was shocked. After a short silence, he scolded Wei Qiu Tai as a fool. He knew that although Wei Qiutai claimed that there were tens of thousands, there were actually only more than 6,000. He reported more people in the hope that he would get more benefits at that time. He didn't care. He was clear about the carefulness of these barbarians, and he didn't expect Wei Qiutai to block Cao Zhang. However, he didn't expect that Wei Qiutai would lose so quickly, which suddenly made him passive. Yang Yi didn't have time to discuss with Gaoguryeo Wang Baqi. He withdrew 20 miles back in the shortest time and gave up his plan to attack the city. He didn't want to be attacked inside and outside by Cao Zhang.

At the same time, he sent someone to Xiangping City to ask Gongsun Gong to be careful. Cao Zhang reacted so quickly that it was likely that he had reached some kind of agreement with Sun Shao and put aside the contradiction for the time being. Two days after the news was sent out, Yang Yi received the news that Tian Yu led the pacers to arrive, and he was immediately shocked. He was skeptical of Cao Zhang's unrighteous behavior. According to reason, with Sun Shao behind him, he used cavalry to sneak up on Wei Qiutai at most to relieve the pressure on Liaoning Tunnel. How could all the riders rush over?

Unless there is no conflict between him and Sun Shao. In other words, Cao Zhang and Sun Shao jointly dug a pit and lured them from Xiangping City to the Liaoning Tunnel. Thinking of this, Yang Yi no longer dared to delay and immediately ordered to retreat quickly and withdraw to Xiangping City.

However, soon came a piece of news that shocked Yang Yi. The descendants of King Wu led 5,000 Jiangdong sailors to cut off the pontoon bridge on the water of Daliang and cut off his back road.
