The two staggered shoulder-to-shoulder, and with a touch, the air was squeezed and there was a soft sound.

"Huh!"

Ma Chao rode out on horseback, Xu Chu turned around and took on a posture to face the battle again. Ma Chao couldn't stop in time, and the war horse kept rushing towards the opposite phalanx, almost hitting the soldiers in the formation before stopping. The soldiers of the Guards Battalion remained motionless, but their faces showed undisguised contempt.

Ma Chao failed to restrain his mount and turn around in time, and according to the default rules, this was already a defeat. If Xu Chu catches up, he may not even have a chance to turn around, let alone accelerate, there is only a dead end. Pretending to be cool just now, but now he hasn't survived a single round, as if he has lost his soul, and he is obviously not Xu Duwei's opponent.

Ma Chao didn't notice the look on the soldier's face at all, he looked at his intact left hand, and didn't know what was going on. With his experience in fighting people, the mistake just now would be seriously injured even if he didn't die, at least it would leave obvious marks on the arm armor, but now there was nothing, as if he had just had a dream, but that dream was so real, meticulous, and every detail was so clear.

Ma Chao turned around and looked at Xu Chu.

Xu Chu nodded to him and motioned for him to come again.

Ma Chao suddenly understood, and Xu Chu let him go. He immediately remembered Sun Ce's words. "If you hurt him, you win." At this moment, every word was so clear, as if Sun Ce had just said it in his ear, and even Sun Ce's expression was vivid. Ma Chao was glad and felt deeply humiliated at the same time. I admit that I am no match for him, I can't beat him, but I can't even hurt him?

Even if I am seriously injured, I will hurt Xu Chu and make Sun Ce admit defeat.

The blood is rushing again. Ma Chao turned the horse's head, accelerated again, and rushed towards Xu Chu.

On the stage, Sun Ce was condescending, and he saw Ma Chao's gaffe clearly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

At present, Xu Chu is in excellent condition, after several months of intensive training, his martial arts are more exquisite than those on the original historical trajectory, and his age is just right, more than twenty, less than thirty, it is the best peak moment of physical fitness in his life. Ma Chao has just come of age, and he is not experienced enough to fight people, and he is more immature than he was during the Battle of Tongguan. It may not be a problem to fight with ordinary people, but when he encounters a top master like Xu Chu, he can only eat deflated.

Ma Chao is known for his bravery, but he is not a fearless brave man, and he will be just as afraid when he meets a real master. Twenty years later, during the Battle of Tongguan in history, he was thirty-six years old, and he was in the prime of life, but Xu Chu was already in his forties, and he had passed the best moment of physical fitness, and he was still afraid of Xu Chu's name and did not dare to attack, let alone now. Judging from the performance of both sides after the round just now, I am afraid that he is already afraid, and unless Xu Chu makes a mistake in the next battle, Ma Chao has no chance at all.

And Xu Chu's character rarely makes mistakes.

Sun Ce put down Ma Chao and turned his head to look at Yan Xing. Yan Xing was watching the battle, and when he felt Sun Ce's eyes, he quickly withdrew his gaze and bowed to Sun Ce. Sun Ce waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's all young people here, and you and I are not the same as Yang Gongzi, we haven't read any books, so there's no need to pay attention to those red tapes." Yang Gongzi, if you don't want to watch it, go to Zhang Zigang to talk about literature and art. ”

Yang Xiu shook his head and refused to leave. "Such a rare duel, even if I am a scholar, I can't miss it."

"Okay, how about you write a fu or a poem later?"

Yang Xiu squinted at Sun Ce. "It's okay for me to write poems, is the general willing to write one?"

Sun Ce laughed. "Okay, don't squeeze me, what kind of poems do I write, don't laugh off your big teeth, come to me to settle accounts again."

Yang Xiu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he said something funny. "That's not necessarily, that Tong Gu tune is good, although it's a little rougher."

"You know this?"

"There are a lot of people singing in Wancheng, how can I not know." Yang Xiu patted the railing, wanted to speak and stopped, and after a while, sighed: "It is rare for a general to have a heart to worry about the world." The swords and soldiers are together, the people are miserable, can the general bear to watch it? ”

"I can't bear it." Sun Ce didn't think twice. "If Yang Gongzi has a way to bring peace to the world without a fight, I am willing to listen to it."

"Although the Son of Heaven is young, he has the qualifications of a wise lord. Xun Wenruo has the talent of Wang Zuo, although his father cannot be compared with Xun Wenruo, he is also loyal. Shisun Junrong and Zhou Jiamou are all wise and resourceful people, ministers of bones, and famous generals of Huangfu Yizhen, if there is a general's father and son to help, the world can be peaceful......"

Sun Ce interjected. "I don't care, the question is what to do with Yuan Shao, can the court settle him?"

"Yuan Shao......" Yang Xiu smacked his lips and hesitated for a moment. If everyone in the world yearns for peace, how can Yuan Shao stay out of the matter and seek chaos? As an enemy of the world, he can only bring about his own destruction. ”

Sun Ce nodded. "If so, then of course it's for the best. Then ask the imperial court to give Yuan Shao an edict, if he is willing to accept the edict and bring peace together, I can't ask for it. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Sun Ce nodded solemnly. "When the time comes, I will also enter the court as an official and compete with Xun Wenruo for power. He stole Nanyang and stole my name, how could I tolerate him. ”

Yang Xiu couldn't laugh or cry, but he was also relieved, at least Sun Ce was not as self-reliant as he thought. If the imperial court had a way to subdue Yuan Shao, Sun Ce might really be able to enter the court as an official. He didn't pick up Sun Ce's topic, and turned his gaze to Xu Chu and Ma Chao, who were competing.

In a matter of moments, the situation on the field had changed. Ma Chao charged again and again, stabbing with all his strength, the sound of hooves was like thunder, the smoke and dust were rising, and the momentum was amazing, but he was never able to hurt Xu Chu. Xu Chu's strong body has an unimaginable agility that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and he avoids Ma Chao's attacks every time he can't make a move, and the amplitude is not large, and it is wonderful to the peak, and people are both shocked and stunned, and the soldiers who are watching the battle are applauding, and even Pang De and others can't take their eyes off it.

But Ma Chao's situation is very bad, even if Yang Xiu doesn't know martial arts, he also knows that Ma Chao is already at the end of the crossbow. More than a dozen rounds have passed, and he has not been able to gain an advantage, which shows that he is not Xu Chu's opponent at all, but he has attacked again and again in vain, obviously riding a tiger and turning into a fighting spirit. The young man relies on the courage of blood, his strength is far less than that of Xu Chu, it is advisable to fight quickly, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it is for him. In the end, I'm afraid that he doesn't need Xu Chu to make a move, and he will be tired and lie down.

That would be even more humiliating than being defeated by Xu Chu.

Yang Xiu inexplicably remembered that he was humiliated by that geisha in the morning, and his face suddenly turned red. He gritted his teeth, and he turned to Sun Ce. "General, General Ma and Captain Xu are not equal, so it's better to stop there. The general was busy with military affairs, and after receiving the edict, it was easy to do business. ”

Sun Ce spread his hands. "I don't care, you let Ma Chao stop."
