Good you Sun Ce, it's really not a good bird, the crows in the world are really black!

How do you think about it, you big head ghost!

Sun Ce's question immediately forced Yuan Yao into a corner, if Yuan Yao agreed, then he would definitely not be Sun Ce's opponent, so Yuan Yao would not and did not dare to agree; But if Yuan Yao categorically refuses, it is to admit that he is inferior to others, and in this way, the victories achieved by Yuan Yao in the previous two battles, and the psychological advantage of Yuan Yao's soldiers over the Jiangdong Army will be instantly wiped out!

Yuan Yao secretly scolded Sun Ce a few words in his heart, and with an idea in his mind, he suddenly thought of an idea, and replied loudly: "Okay! Since Wu Hou has this good intention, he can only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman! But before the fight, I don't know if I should say something or not? ”

Sun Ce didn't expect Yuan Yao to dare to agree to the next competition, and he was suddenly happy in his heart, at this time he had already made up an idea in his heart, that is, no matter what tricks Yuan Yao wanted to play, he had to teach Yuan Yao a lesson before the battle, and he would fall into his face fiercely!

After Sun Ce made up his mind, he replied quietly: "Brother Yuan has something to say, but it doesn't matter, you and I are old people, so you don't have to be so polite!" ”

Yuan Yao smiled slightly, and replied loudly: "Wu Hou is both civil and military, if you think about it, you must know the allusion of Zhuangzi about the sword!" ”

"Zhuangzi once said that there are three kinds of swords, namely the sword of the Son of Heaven, the sword of the princes and the sword of the Shuren!"

"The sword of the Son of Heaven takes Yandi Shicheng as the tip of the sword, Qidi Taishan as the sword, Jin Di Weidi as the sword spine, Zhou and Song as the sword sheath, Han Di and Wei as the scabbard, the four directions are the package, the Bohai Sea and the Changshan are the belt, the five elements are used to balance the world, the world is judged by rewards and punishments, and the Yin and Yang are used to split and obstruct; This sword swings in all directions and there is nothing to stop, the upper can be the floating clouds, the lower can cut the earth, this sword is out, you can determine the princes, so that the world is obedient, this is the sword of the Son of Heaven! ”

"The sword of the princes takes the wise and brave man as the tip of the sword, the incorruptible man as the blade, the virtuous man as the spine, the noble and holy man as the sword ring, and the heroic man as the hilt; When this kind of sword is waved, there is nothing between heaven and earth to block, this sword conforms to the sun, moon and stars, and the law conforms to the changes of the four seasons, and the public opinion of the harmony is stable in all directions. ”

"The sword of the Shuren, the hair is unkempt, the sideburns are bearded, the mask is worn, the thick hat belt is tied, the short clothes are worn, the eyes are glaring and the words of the collision, when the martial arts competition, the upper can cut off the neck, and the lower can pierce the liver and lungs, even if the death is not helpful to the country, it is no different from cockfighting, this is the sword of the Shuren!"

"Wu Hou, these three swordsmen, the sword of the Son of Heaven is exclusive to the Son of Heaven, and we are the ministers of the Son of Heaven, so the sword of the Son of Heaven cannot be taken without permission; Now that the troubled times are rising, we should make meritorious contributions to serve the country and stabilize the people, and the sword of the people of the country is of no benefit, so the sword of the people of the people cannot be taken by force; As the lord of a land, we should be the princes of one side, so we should take the sword of the princes and report to the Son of Heaven to serve the people! ”

"Wu Hou is my old brother, and if he wants to fight with me, I don't dare to refuse; However, Wu Hou actually abandoned the sword of the princes and did not use it, but wanted to compete with me to try the sword of the common people, which really made me feel unwilling for Wu Hou; In that case, I can only admit defeat in order to save both! ”

When Yuan Yao said this, he sighed and bowed his hand: "Wu Hou, there is no need to compare this time, admitting defeat in the next place will be regarded as Jiangdong's victory!" ”

Yuan Yao's words are called a voice and emotion, and it is reasonable!

After listening to Yuan Yao's words, the surrounding soldiers all had deep respect for Yuan Yao, and had such a mind and bearing, no wonder Yuan Gongzi was able to achieve such a feat in a short period of time, and he was worthy of being the son of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes!

However, Sun Ce's mood was completely different from those soldiers, he listened to Yuan Yao's sophistry there, and his heart was full of shame and anger, I, Sun Bofu, can you teach me what is the sword of the princes? My grandson can use you to feel unwilling for me? My Sun Bofu can use you to admit defeat?

You're not my opponent in the first place, right?

Shaft, dare to bully me like this!

Sun Ce's face turned pale, and he replied coldly: "If you say that, I have to thank Brother Yuan for his concession and advice?" ”

Yuan Yao knows a truth, that is, take advantage of it and run, don't behave well, otherwise you will be happy and sad!

Yuan Yao saw that he had escaped this catastrophe, and Sun Ce was about to burst into anger, so he hurriedly replied: "Wu Hou is polite, Wu Hou is brave and good at fighting both civil and military, why use it to give advice to the prime minister?" But now that the three formations have passed, you and I are both one win, one loss and one draw, I don't know what the sentry pavilion said before......? ”

Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Sun Ce could only stop there, and replied in a cold voice: "The words of the sentry pavilion are naturally counted, and I, Jiangdong, will not ask for any compensation!" Tens of thousands of troops in Jiangdong are still encamped in Shehuling, and there are many military affairs, so I can't stay for a long time! The green mountains do not change the green water for a long time, you and I will have a period in the future! ”

When Yuan Yao heard this, he bowed his hand and said: "Wu Hou is polite, since the military affairs are busy, you can go by yourself, and there will be a period in the later stage!" ”

Sun Ce bowed his hand back, then hit his horse and returned to the front of the formation, leading the Jiangdong generals and five hundred iron horsemen to roar away!

Yuan Yao looked at the back of Sun Ce and Jiangdong Tieqi, and let out a long breath, Sun Ce has always been true to his word, Jiangdong's matter is temporarily over, and then he only needs to be careful to guard against the counterattack of the Jingzhou army, and it can finally be easier.

"Alright, let's go back too!" Yuan Yao returned to the front of the battle and led five hundred iron horsemen straight to the temporary station.

Yuan Yao's iron cavalry went deep alone, and now the Jingzhou army in the land of Baling is heavily gathered, this is no longer a place to stay for a long time, Yuan Yao returned to join the rest of the iron cavalry, and then pulled out the camp and went straight to the state tomb to return.

After Sun Ce and the Jiangdong generals returned to the Tiger Ridge, they also ordered the army to pull out the camp, tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers and horses slowly retreated to the place of Xiajun, the city of Xiajun was narrow and could not garrison the army, this place was far away from Jiangdong, and it was useless to leave a few soldiers and horses to garrison, Sun Ce then ordered to demolish the city and return directly to Yuzhang County with the people and materials in the city.

When Yuan Yao returned to the state tomb, Pang Tong had already led his soldiers to strengthen the city, and built several camps in dangerous places, ready to resist the counterattack of the Jingzhou army.

Anlu and Jingling have also sent back news that the Jingzhou army and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses in the land of Nanyang are holding each other down, and Anlu is safe for the time being, and there is no enemy attack; However, Jingling is different, Jingzhou Liu Biao learned that Yuan Yao defeated Huang Zuquan to take the land of Jiangxia, he was immediately furious, and then ordered the military division Cai Mao to be the main general, and the generals Zhang Yun and Wang Wei were the deputy generals, leading 50,000 land and water soldiers and horses down the Han River and went straight to Jingling.
