After the autumn harvest, there is soon white dew and frost, which means that winter is not far away. The farmers began to clear the scattered crops in the fields, and the animals fed diligently in preparation for the long, bitter cold days. Liangzhou and Guanzhong are ripe, and Hebei has also ushered in another bumper year.

The people on the land of Hebei have also collected an extra three or five buckets this year, but the government's taxes have also risen, anyway, as long as the people below do not starve to death on a large scale, the landlords, the strong and powerful, and the family will always want more. Sometimes the government will also consider the issue of population, and the people below will not care so much.

Even if there is a raging flood tomorrow, there will be no one less to harvest. However, Hebei is extremely rich, even if the majority of the people still have many hungry, but there are also many rich people. In Yuan Shao's stronghold Yecheng, there are a lot of powerful people, and if you have power, you will naturally have money, which has been the same throughout the ages.

Therefore, there are many rich people in Yecheng. When there are many rich and powerful families, they often need help to deal with some shady things. Inside and outside Yecheng, there are more rangers. The most famous ranger today is a swordsman named Shia. This person's swordsmanship is so high, he is alone in Hebei, and few people can go through three rounds in his hands.

On this day, Cao Ang set up a banquet at home to feast this famous and unrivaled swordsman hero. Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son, and with Xiahoudun, Xun Yu and others fleeing and behind, Yuan Shao is not bad to them, constantly giving mansions and fields, and also giving some idle official positions, which can be regarded as idle.

Not to mention the close relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Xun Yu's younger brother Xun Chen is still a strategist under Yuan Shao's account, and Yuan Shao will not treat them badly. Of course, it is just raised, and it will not be reused. The pit under Yuan Benchu's command had long been filled by scholars from Hebei and other places, and there were no extra places to vacate.

Even a talent like Dong Zhao who is willing to be a martial artist will run away because Yuan Shao is unwilling to reuse, even if Xiahoudun is good at fighting, and Xun Yu can only eat idle in Yecheng even if he is talented. Cao Ang was only in his early twenties, and Sun Ce, who swept through Jiangdong, was not too old, so he naturally couldn't accept being idle and waiting for death, and when he couldn't show his ambitions, he thought of learning swordsmanship.

To learn swordsmanship, of course, you have to find the best swordsmanship. In the current Yecheng, apart from Shi A, who else dares to call swordsmanship unparalleled? Today's banquet was specially set up by Cao Ang in order to apprentice to Shi A.

Shi Ah is seven feet long and five, he doesn't look too stout, his hands and feet are a little slender, but his bearing is like that, and everyone at the banquet respects him very much. Cao Ang saluted Shi A with a glass of wine and asked, "How long do I have to learn swordsmanship to reach Master's current level?" ”

"I don't know."

"Don't know?" Cao Ang was stunned, frowned, and asked, "Could it be that the master thinks that I can't afford to be too early?" ”

Shi A said lightly: "I know what level my swordsmanship is, but I don't know what level Childe's swordsmanship is, how do I know how long it will take Childe to reach my level?" ”

"I see!"

Cao Ang stood up and said with a smile: "Then I'll give Master a drill first."

He took off his blade, drew his sword from its sheath, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. The long sword stabbed straight in his hand, slashed diagonally, and slashed, and many changes were born with his footsteps. The blade churned in the air, making a "whirring" sound. When the guests on the side saw it, they all praised it loudly, saying that Cao Gongzi had good swordsmanship.

Even Xiahoudun believed that Cao Ang's swordsmanship was no worse than that of ordinary generals in the army.

After dancing all the way to the swordsmanship, Cao Ang put away the sword and stood up, and asked with a smile: "What does the master think, how is the swordsmanship below?" ”

Shi A's expression was still cold, he nodded, and said, "It's okay." ”

Cao Ang was born in a famous family, although Cao Cao was ridiculed by many scholars as "the eunuch queen", but the Cao family is wealthy, he has practiced horsemanship, swordsmanship, archery and other martial arts since he was a child, and the level is naturally much stronger than that of the sergeant of the army. Cao Ang was young and vigorous again, and when he heard Shi A say that his swordsmanship was acceptable, he was a little unconvinced, and said: "I have already demonstrated swordsmanship, but I don't know how master's swordsmanship is!" ”

Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and others also clamored, wanting to see Shi A perform swordsmanship.

"Yes, we know Cao Gongzi's swordsmanship, but we don't know Master Shi's swordsmanship yet."

"Why don't you show us your hands first? Also an eye-opener for everyone? ”

Shi A said lightly: "It's okay." ”

He stood up and looked to the left and right, and the crowd followed his gaze in both directions. Then Shi A jumped out of Zhang Xu in one step, and the sword light in his hand flashed like a horse, and in the sound of cracking, the sword was returned into the sheath. Everyone was amazed that he didn't make much movement just now, but he could suddenly jump so far, but they felt a little strange, picking so far, and coming out with such a sword?

This sword is very powerful, but it is too fast, and everyone doesn't see why it came.

Shi Ah turned around, and only took two steps before a tree the size of a sea bowl fell diagonally behind him. The thick trunk of the tree smashed against the ground, raising a puff of dust. Everyone's complexion changed, and they stepped forward to check, only to see that the cut off place was as smooth as a mirror, and there was no unevenness.

So everyone admired together, Cao Ang's face was happy, and he said: "Master's swordsmanship is really unparalleled!" ”

He invited Shi A to sit at the table, toasted another glass, and then couldn't wait to ask, "How long will I have to practice to reach Master's level?" ”

Shi A looked at Cao Ang and said, "Childe has laid a good foundation since he was a child, if he can concentrate on sword training without distractions, it will only take three years." But why bother? Even if the swordsmanship is to my level, I can only defeat ten people. Childe is not a pawn of a peddler, swordsmanship is enough to defend himself, if you want to practice martial arts, you should still spend more time on riding and archery. ”

On the side, Xiahou said: "Yes, above the battle array, swordsmanship is not very useful, or bows and arrows and spears and halberds are better used!" ”

Cao Ang also knew that it was impossible for him to spend three years practicing swordsmanship, so he sighed, and then asked, "How long did it take Master to get to where he is now?" ”

Shi Adao: "I have been practicing swords for ten years, and I have practiced hard every day before I have achieved a small success." ”

Cao Ang smiled: "Master's words are too humble, such swordsmanship ........."

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the trees in the courtyard that had been cut off by a single blow, and said, "This kind of swordsmanship is already unparalleled in the world. ”

Shi Ah shook his head and said, "How many strange people are there in the world? This trick of mine is enough to make an envoy in Yecheng."

"Oh?" Cao Ang asked, "Is there anyone in the world who is stronger in swordsmanship than Master?" ”

Shi Adao: "But it's hard to say, it's better to ask General Xiahou." ”

Cao Ang then turned his head and asked, "Uncle, is there really a swordsman wizard in the world who is stronger than Master?" ”

Xiahoudun hesitated for a moment and said, "Although I haven't seen it, I still have it." ”

"Who?"

Xiahoudun said slowly: "Chen Cheng, the general of today's imperial court, is known as the number one in the world, whether it is swordsmanship or archery, he is unique in the world, far superior to others!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the temperature in the lobby seemed to drop by ten degrees suddenly, and the atmosphere was completely different. Cao Ang knew the name of the thief Chen, if it wasn't for the thief Chen, how could they be driven to Hebei?

"Uncle, is that man really so terrible? Why does everyone change color at the mention of his name? ”

"You haven't led soldiers or been on the battlefield, so it's normal not to know how terrible Chen Cheng is."

Xiahoudun's expression was a little gloomy, and the battle of Pengcheng could be said to have broken the backbone of Cao's army. In order to buy Cao Cao time to escape, even Xiahou Yuan was killed in battle, and countless other generals and colonels were killed in battle. When a soldier dies, he can be recruited again, and he can be pulled to the battlefield after half a year of training, but those experienced officers are not so easy to train, and it takes time to accumulate and pay blood and tears on the battlefield to get it.

He said to Cao Ang: "There are many deeds of the great general that are circulating now, he has taken the lead in every battle since he started in Youzhou, and he is very similar to Sun Jian. From Xiliang to Guanzhong, and then to the Central Plains, Chen Cheng was only defeated once at the hands of He Jin. ”

Xiahoudun said to Cao Cao's sons with a solemn face: "You must remember that if you want to revitalize the Cao family, you must defeat Chen Cheng!" ”

Cao Ang's expression also became serious, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Since the Chen thief is similar to Sun Jian in his army, he will definitely die in an ambush in the future!" ”

Xiahoudun shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, he used to like to charge into battle, but now that he has become a general, he has many generals under him, where can he be like Sun Jian?" ”

Cao Ang added: "If you can send assassins.........

As he spoke, he looked up at Shi Ah on the side. Shi A's face was expressionless, as if he would always be so indifferent, and others didn't know what he was thinking.

Xiahoudun groaned, "Send assassins?" It's not a bad idea. But this matter needs to be led by Jizhou Mu, and we can't do it ourselves. ”

Cao Ang asked Shi Adao: "What heroes does Master know who can get rid of Chen Thief for the people of the world?" ”

Shi A was silent for a while, and said, "I can get in touch with some, but I can't guarantee that it will work." The Great General was not assassinated once or twice, but no one ever succeeded. ”

Isn't that nonsense? The people on the side complained that they couldn't, and said in their hearts: If it succeeds, won't Chen Cheng be killed? Could it be that a person can be killed twice?

Cao Ang sighed and said, "It's a pity that there is no such hero as Nie Zhengzhuan in the world today. ”

Shi A's expression was still indifferent, not moved by Cao Ang's words at all. Seeing that he didn't get in the oil and salt, Cao Ang had no choice but to say: "Then please ask Master to help me pay attention to it, as long as I have real skills, I will definitely introduce it to Jizhou Mu." ”

Shi Ah arched his hand and said lightly: "If there is really a strange swordsman, he will naturally tell his son." ”
