Taishi was as compassionate as ashes, and subconsciously retreated, but unexpectedly his feet slipped and he sat down on the ground with a thud.

Overlord Stabbed him in the ear, and the wind forced him to squint.

Sun Ce missed a blow, and realized that his wrist sank, and pressed the blade on Tai Shici's shoulder, the overlord kill has both the assassination function of a spear and the chopping function of a knife, and the return hand cutting and killing is also a basic action, unlike the spear that is simply withdrawn. He was about to draw his knife, but when he saw Tai Shici close his eyes, he couldn't help but be startled and woke up from the battle.

The eyes are the household of God. The duel of masters is not only a comparison of hands and feet, the contest of eyes is not weak at all, if the difference in strength is too large, just the eyes are enough to make the opponent retreat. The most attention in the process of fighting is also the opponent's eyes, not the target of his own attack. This is not only to analyze his next move from the other party's eyes, but also to avoid the other party from seeing his attack intentions.

It is unreasonable to close your eyes during a life-and-death duel. Without eye contact, Sun Ce was momentarily stunned, and then jumped out of the state of selflessness that was bent on fighting and winning, and stopped his purely instinctive movements at the last moment.

Sun Ce exhaled, and his chest was extremely happy. "Taishi Ziyi, have you taken it?"

Tai Shi Ci originally thought that he would die, but he didn't move for a long time, and when he heard Sun Ce's voice again, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the current situation, and said lightly: "The general's martial arts are strong, and he has divine weapons to help him, so Ci is willing to bow down." ”

Sun Ce glanced at Tai Shici for a moment, and couldn't help laughing. He put away the overlord kill and stretched out his left hand. Tai Shi Ci hesitated for a moment, but still took Sun Ce's hand and stood up with strength. Sun Ce stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Tai Shici's shoulder, and laughed in a low voice: "Ziyi, you compete with people, if the other party uses a wooden stick, will you also use a wooden stick?" ”

Tai Shici's face turned red, and he was extremely embarrassed. A loss is a loss, and saying that the opponent's weapon is, of course, an excuse. Moreover, Sun Ce did not take advantage of him in the blade, and it was his own choice to use the iron halberd to restrain Sun Ce's blade, and he couldn't complain about Sun Ce.

"The general's martial arts are strong, and he admires him."

"Okay, I said, I have a greater advantage in foot combat, and it has surprised me that you can fight to Lily." Sun Ce patted Tai Shici. "You are slightly better than me in cavalry and shooting, and you lose three points to me in foot combat. Let's go, let's go drink and see who has the better drink. If you don't accept it, when you've eaten and drunk enough and rested, we'll compare your fists and feet again and see how I abuse you a thousand times. ”

Tai Shi Ci couldn't cry or laugh, but he inexplicably felt a sense of closeness, as if he had known each other for many years, rather than an enemy who was still desperate just now. This is probably the friend of the cover, fate, and there is no way to avoid it. Tai Shi Ci sighed in his heart, and the last trace of hesitation in his heart disappeared unconsciously.

Seeing that the victory and defeat had been divided, Yu Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and set up a seat to prepare a banquet. Tai Shi Ci saw that the companions on the mountain had been recruited by Sun Ce, so he didn't say anything, and asked people to go back and call all the companions in the mountain and surrender to Sun Ce.

While waiting, Sun Ce and Tai Shici sat down and drank and talked happily. Yu turned into a seat to accompany him, while enjoying the scenery of spring, while the sky and the north and the south of the world. Just turned enemies into friends, at this time, no one will talk about serious things, so as not to embarrass the other party, and only say some gossip to close the distance. Sun Ce was very concerned about the situation in Liaodong, and Tai Shici told him about his experience in Liaodong.

Liaodong is now the world of Gongsun Du.

In the first year of Chuping, Gongsun Du became the Taishou of Liaodong, and as soon as he took office, he killed Xiangping Linggongsun Zhao, and he was flogged to kill in the city, that is, he was beaten to death in public, which made people see his cruelty at once. This is still just the beginning, and then he went on a killing spree, slaughtering more than 100 powerful families in the county, killing people in panic, and when the word Gongsun Du was mentioned, even children didn't dare to cry.

After killing Haoqiang and killing the Hu people, Gongsun Xi expanded again, attacked Goguryeo in the east, and attacked Wuhuan in the west, and now he is not only the Taishou of Liaodong, Xuanxuan and Lelang are controlled by him, and even half of Liaoxi has fallen into his hands. He is the emperor of Liaodong, and no one dares to mess with him. However, he killed too many people and had a bad reputation, although there were not many people who dared to go against him, and there were very few people who were willing to support him.

Liaodong is mountainous, and the situation is more complicated than that in Danyang and Huiji, hundreds of people go to the mountains to hide, find a place to cultivate themselves, and then build a dock fort to defend themselves, don't be too comfortable. Most of the people in the Central Plains who moved over were clans as units, and their hearts were particularly united, whether it was farming or building forts, it was a trivial matter, and they were familiar with the road. Not only are the local natives not their opponents, but even Gongsun Du did not dare to stir up trouble easily, but wanted to be humble, and he did not dare to have an opinion if he was rejected.

So a very strange situation has been formed in Liaodong: the displaced people from the Central Plains are the most majestic, standard foreign strong dragons, and they are cross-sea dragons. Taishou Gongsun Du lives in it, but the local Haoqiang in Liaodong can't be the head snake, and he is so crushed by Gongsun Du that he doesn't even dare to raise his head. As for those Hu people, they were beaten by Gongsun Du and their noses were swollen and they fled.

Sun Ce was a little puzzled. "How is Gongsun Du using troops, in just a few years, how can he reject Goguryeo in the east and chase Wuhuan in the west?"

Tai Shi Ci smiled. "The general didn't know that although the Hu people were good at riding and shooting, they came and went like the wind, and they repeatedly defeated the army of the imperial court, and they were not opponents of the Central Plains in frontal combat. Gongsun Du is not superior in the use of soldiers, but the knights under his command have both the advantage of cavalry and archery, and the strength of the assault that the Hu people are not as good as the Hu, so they are invincible. ”

Sun Ce was very interested. "I want to hear about it."

Tai Shi Ci is good at riding and shooting, and can fight with spears, and has a lot of experience in the application of cavalry. After he arrived in Liaodong, he not only saw the soldiers of Liaodong County, but also had the opportunity to contact the Hu people, and he was clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the tactics of both sides. New investment in Sun Ce, he also wanted to show his ability beyond his personal martial arts, and he did not shirk at the moment, explaining the key points for Sun Ce in detail.

"General, that's a long way to go." Tai Shi Ci took a sip of wine and said angrily: "In order for the general to know the cause and effect, Ci is not presumptuous, and is willing to explain the history of cavalry warfare for the general." ”

Sun Ce laughed. He has always wanted to systematically understand the history of cavalry warfare, so he handed over this topic to Ma Chao, but he didn't expect Ma Chao to be brave and strategic, and he didn't hold back a word for so long. Now Tai Shici took the initiative to tell him the history of cavalry development, of course he couldn't ask for it.

"If you want to build cavalry, you must have war horses, so the cavalry tactics started from the grassland and started from the Hu people. Hu men have to practice riding and archery, when they were children, they rode sheep and rabbits and mice, and rode horses and hunted tigers and leopards, horses are their legs, riding and archery is a skill that they are born with, and they can't ride and shoot, there is no place to stand on the grassland, than riding and shooting, even if there are a few people in the Central Plains who can surprise the four seats, in terms of overall strength, and the Hu people can not be thousands of miles away, so before Wei Huo, there are famous generals in the Central Plains such as Li Mu and Li Guang, and they are also more defeated and less victorious, and they are generally on the defensive. Without him, it is better to ride and shoot. ”
