Chapter 209: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf

The mountain void and the cymbals, the water is still written on the ship. --------------Southern dynasties. Beam. Xiao Yi "Poems of Debating with Wang Seng in the Army"

Although Chen Long had a psychological advantage, Liu Biao could not say the word "surrender", and the atmosphere became dull.

Chen Long was depressed in his heart, and he wanted to leave and raise troops for a decisive battle. After thinking about it again and again, for the sake of the people of Jingzhou, you still need to endure it. Chen Long saw Cai Mao and Zhou Cang glaring at each other angrily and sparks flying, and suddenly had an idea, and proposed to use the decisive battle between Zhou Cang and Cai Mao to replace the decisive battle between Liu Biao and himself.

This bet seems child's play, but it makes both parties excited. Liu Biao thought, Cai Mao is a famous general in Jingzhou, and he should be sure of defeating a nobody in Lingling, not to mention that the conditions are very attractive; What Chen Long thought, but in the Three Kingdoms game, Zhou Cang's force greatly surpassed Cai Mao, and he naturally had the chance to win.

Liu Biao weighed it again and again, if he talked about strength and generals, he couldn't compare with Chen Long, and he only relied on two fortified cities, two big rivers and a decent navy. If there is a big battle between the two sides, your chances of winning are no more than 30%. If Cai Mao can really defeat Zhou Cang, everything will be solved, even if he really loses, there will be a Jiangling to live in.

With Liu Biao's nod, the gambling contract was officially established. Chen Long and Liu Biao agreed that the two sides would prepare their own equipment, without horses, and decide the outcome in a foot battle. The two sides agreed that they were not allowed to use lethal blades, so Cai Mao took an iron shield and an iron shovel, and Zhou Cang took an iron rod.

The battlefield was chosen on the colorful clouds, and the back of the boulder was very wide, and the two sides agreed that if anyone was knocked down and could not stand up, or was forced to fall off the cliff, they would lose. Both sides are not allowed to make a dead hand, and if they accidentally kill each other, they will also lose.

Zhou Cang's body grew up, and he put on a posture, and his black face was very serious. Cai Mao stood at the other end of the Caiyun Ji, holding the iron shield with her left hand and holding the iron wedge high with her right hand, like the gesture of a Japanese Oriental sword.

Sometimes the two sides face each other, and they both want to see the flaws of the other party's first move. Zhou Cang and the others were impatient, and suddenly threw down the iron rod, took off their clothes and beat themselves shirtless, although it was cold in spring, the tower-like muscles were steaming hot. Cai Mao leaned back angrily, thinking that he looked down on me too much, and the iron shovel was like a poisonous snake coming out of the hole, and it went straight to Zhou Cang's chest.

Zhou Cang had already prevented Cai Mao from grabbing the merit, shouted, did not hurry, kicked his right foot slightly up, the iron rod was already resting on the surface of his foot, and flew up in an instant, flying sideways towards Cai Mao. Cai Mao raised his shield to block, the momentum of progress was slightly blocked, the iron rod rebounded back, Zhou Cang grabbed it, and took advantage of the situation to split Huashan, which was as heavy as a mountain and slashed towards Cai Mao, the action was done in one go, and it was extremely neat.

Chen Long, who was watching the battle on the side, burst into cheers, but Liu Biao's face was a little ugly, I didn't expect this top ten black man to be so vigorous, this Chen Long is not a liar, right?

Cai Mao's momentum was blocked, and when he saw Zhou Cang's iron rod hit his head, he was fierce, but there were flaws under him. He didn't dodge at the moment, he raised the shield of his left arm with brute force, and forcibly continued the attack. The iron rod arrived first, only to hear a loud "boom", a dent immediately stood out on the iron shield, and the huge force attacked, Cai Mao only felt that his left arm was numb, his chest was stagnant, and he was holding his breath in his chest, which was extremely uncomfortable. And the iron shovel's desperate attack also hit Zhou Cang's left arm with a snap.

Both of them took the initiative to attack, but at the same time their left arm was injured, Cai Mao was injured first, and he lost his strength when he hit Zhou Cang. Rao is like this, Zhou Cang also felt pain to the bone marrow, but fortunately, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and the muscles are knotted, so it was not broken on the spot.

Cai Mao lost sensation in his left arm and couldn't hold the iron shield steadily, so he simply threw it on the ground with a thud, and turned to swing the iron shovel to attack. Zhou Cang's left arm also couldn't rotate well, but the iron rod was quite heavy, so he had to rotate back and forth with one hand, and the iron rod flew up and down to resist, but lost seven or eight percent of the offensive.

Seeing that the two of them had changed into one-armed people in an instant, Chen Long secretly scolded the two for not using their brains, so they had to silently watch the two disabled people compete. Seeing that Zhou Cang's iron rod couldn't be used with one hand, but was suppressed by Cai Mao, he was faintly worried. It seems that even if it is a fight, you have to send someone with a higher IQ.

Zhou Cang's strength is long, and he fights and retreats, and behind him is the edge of the big stone, rolling the Yangtze River. If you accidentally fall down, the bet will be lost. Zhou Cang glanced left and right a few times in his busy schedule, and suddenly saw that the lord's gentian bright silver spear was inserted at the end of Caiyunji, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the long stick slammed heavily on the iron mace, and his body accelerated and retreated with the force, and his back slammed into the gentian bright silver spear, instantly bending the gentian bright silver spear by a shallow arc.

The Bright Silver Spear was so rigid and tough, it hummed slightly, straightened up, and rebounded Zhou Cang's huge body, doubling its speed and strength. Zhou Cang took advantage of the situation to use all his strength, and the iron rod split Huashan with another move, and slashed towards Cai Mao.

Cai Mao thought that he was going to knock Zhou Cang away, but when he saw that he was about to fly out of the cliff, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, and was about to attack and kill in one fell swoop, turning this big black man into a soup chicken, but he didn't expect that with a flower in front of him, the big black man actually accelerated and flew back, like a god in mid-air. Cai Mao had no iron shield for a long time, so he had to raise the iron shovel to cover it with all his might, Liu Biao secretly screamed that it was not good, and sure enough, an earth-shattering loud bang came, Cai Mao's huge body flew out of the zhang yu, and it took a long time to stand up, the corners of his mouth were full of blood, and his right arm was already shaking, obviously broken.

Cai screamed and stopped the game, Liu Biao had to shake his head to admit defeat, Zhou Cang shouted in ecstasy, and threw away the iron rod, which maintained the battle of Jingzhou's belonging, and won in this way.

A month later, the First Army put Liu Cong under house arrest in Jiangling and stationed in Xiangyang, which represented the county of Jingzhou. The so-called driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, Chen Long can be regarded as effortless.

In Fancheng opposite Jiangxia, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu's troops fought against Zhang Yunbuke, and the grain and grass were scarce, and they had already withdrawn. Transferring people and ships from Lingling, Changsha, and Wuling, the navy gradually took shape, and it was still led by Gan Ning.

At this time, Chen Long had already set up the Taishou Mansion in Xiangyang, and at the same time praised the Chang'an Imperial Court and requested the establishment of a Zhou pastoral system. The imperial court naturally agreed, and also ordered the promotion of Chen Long to the Marquis of Dingyuan, and the festival was fake.

Since then, Chen Long has been the pastor of Jingzhou, with absolute personnel and military rights, and other princes have followed suit, Liu Yan called himself Yizhou Mu, Gongsun Zan called himself Youzhou Mu, Yuan Shu called himself the general, Luoyang Ling, no one in the world respects this Han court, except for a few loyal generals in Chang'an, the Han court really exists in name only.

In addition to the Jiangxia war, the whole territory of Jingzhou was temporarily stabilized, coupled with Chen Long's relaxed policy, and the people's livelihood rested, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment again, coupled with the population growth, it can be said that all kinds of waste were thriving, in today's words, greatly liberating the productive forces. Chen Long finally had free time, and while taking his family members to his side one by one, he sent someone to Chang'an to ask about Cai Yan's situation, and at the same time, he remembered the topic of scientific and technological development, and remembered Huang Yueying again. Then Huang Chengyan knows that he has entered Jingzhou, so he should come to see me with Pang Degong, right?

At this time, the northern heroes have been stirred into a pot of porridge. Among them, several of the more outstanding ones are Youzhou Gongsun Zhan, Qingzhou Cao Cao, Xuzhou Tao Qian, Luoyang Yuan Shu, and the vast Jizhou, Yuan Shao is trying every means to seize power from Jizhou Mu Han Fu. Zhang Yan of Bingzhou was blocked by Li Dao and Guo Yanqiang's troops, and he had already lost half of the state, and there was Liu Yao's power further north. However, local forces such as Kongrong in Beihai are still divided into one side, and the northern powers are still early to win or lose.

In this chaotic situation, Chen Long finally received news about Cai Yan from Chang'an. The messenger said that Cai Yan lived in a simple house in Chang'an, and did not leave the house at all, but only lived with his parents. Chen Long nodded, seeing that the envoy's face was embarrassed, hesitating, and asked, the envoy knelt down and said, "What Xu Junshi and Zhong Junshi heard is also gossip, I don't know if it's accurate." The subordinates of Cai's mansion went viral with Cai ....... The young lady is pregnant and waiting to give birth, I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Chen Long just brought the check to his mouth to drink tea, and when he heard this, his hands shook, and the tea he was holding accidentally spilled on his chest, as if he had printed a map of Chang'an on his chest.
