Chapter Eighty-Seven: Exploring the Enemy Before the War

Zhang Xiaotian was quite unbearable when he heard this, but there was no way to do it, if he wanted to escape from Chang'an, this ghost must stay in Chang'an for a long time.

At this time, Liu Bei came to He Miao's side and asked softly, "Did you send me a letter and Mi Xunlan?" ”

"Did your letter leak the fact that we will go back to Chang'an?" Zhang Xiaotian was taken aback when he heard this, and said;

Liu Bei was taken aback at this time, and hurriedly explained: "Of course not, how could I be so ignorant." β€œ

He Miao took out a letter from his bosom at this time, stuffed it into Liu Bei's hand, and said with a smile: "It seems that Mi Xunlan has some meaning to you!" ”

Liu Bei cheered at this time, and immediately ran away, making everyone laugh.

"I heard that your men and horses from Jiming Mountain are coming to look for you, and now that we are short of people, their arrival is a great help to you.

Now Yanzhou has launched a person to compete with you for the position of master of the Bohai King, and he will compete with the day after noon, and those with a bit of status will come to watch the battle. He Miao said;

"Who's that person?" He Bao asked;

"It seems to be called Yu Ban." He Miao replied;

"What? Forbidden? Zhang Xiaotian asked;

"Xiaotian, do you know Yu Ban?" He Miao asked in surprise;

"Huh! I've just heard of it. Zhang Xiaotian said in his mouth, but secretly thought in his heart: Yu Ban is one of the "Five Good Generals", Yu Ban, the word is a native of Taishan Juping (now Tai'annan, Shandong).

Yu Ban came to defect when Cao Cao was recruiting. Cao Cao raised troops to avenge his father, and Yu Ban was the vanguard with Xiahoudun and Dian Wei. In the battle of Wancheng, he decisively killed the Qingzhou army that attempted to rebel, so he was appreciated by Cao Cao.

He participated in the Battle of Guandu with Cao Cao, and later fought against Liu Bei with Xiahoudun, and tried to remind Xiahoudun for fear of being attacked by fire, but it was too late, and Cao's army was defeated.

In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's plan to kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the governors of the naval army, was mistakenly beheaded, and Yu Ban and Mao Jue replaced the two as the governors of the naval army.

After the defeat of the Chibi army, Yu Ban followed Cao Cao to conquer Ma Chao and Han Sui, and was defeated by Ma Chao in front of the battle. When Guan Yu led the army to attack Fancheng, Yu Ban and Pang De were ordered to rescue Cao Ren, who was guarding Fancheng.

Yu Ban repeatedly restrained Pang De for fear of competing with him, and rejected Pang De's suggestion to camp in the lowlands, and was finally defeated by Guan Yu with a water attack.

After the war, Yu Ban was captured, surrendered to Guan Yu, and was escorted to Jingzhou. After LΓΌ Meng captured Jingzhou, Yu Ban was sent to Wu, and Sun Quan was released and returned to Wei after his surrender to Wei, and was ordered to guard Cao Cao's mausoleum.

Cao Pi sent people to paint the defeat of the forbidden war and begging to surrender on the mausoleum wall, and died of shame after the ban was banned.

Then his mind turned to the matter of the martial arts competition the day after tomorrow, and the result was a sad knot. No matter who wins or loses, I'm afraid there will be some problems.

The question remains whether he can change history.

If the answer is no, then he doesn't have to pay attention to anything, laughs at the mountains and forests, and enjoys the joy of fish and water with his wife and maids all day long, and Xiao Ben will naturally become Cao Cao's puppet emperor, and the concept of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" is about to be realized.

Just hate him can't be sure.

If he wins the ban, then the history of China will definitely change, and Xiao Ben will definitely not become Cao Cao's puppet emperor, but can the other party be used for his own use and become the main hero who helped Xiao Ben Kuang to help the Han family in the future?

But he must not be defeated, otherwise the He family will be greatly damaged, and it will also be a serious blow to Xiao Ben, and even his trip to Chang'an will be affected.

This really made him brain-wrenching, and then he thought that because of his arrival, this period of history has not run according to the original trajectory, and now it is still the same old saying, take one step at a time, and be at peace with what happens.

In the midst of distress, Guo Jia's voice came. "Zhang Xiaotian, you are really a god, how did you deduce that Yuan Benchu was going to unite with other county guards to attack Dong Zhuo?"

"Actually, you and I know it, it's just to put gold on Yuan Benchu's face, is what Brother Guo said right?" Zhang Xiaotian asked with a smile on his face at this time;

The two looked at each other for a long time, and then laughed, and the two of them felt sorry for each other at the same time, and hated each other.

"Since the last detailed discussion, I went back and after careful consideration, I decided to defect to Zhang Xiaotian's command, what do you think?" Guo Jia asked with a smile;

"If Cao Gong knows about it, what should I do if he blames me for digging his corner?" Zhang Xiaotian asked rhetorically at this time;

"Corner? Ha ha! Brother Zhang, your language is really different from ordinary people. You don't have to worry about this, Cao Gong's subordinates are capable, and they don't care about me, a shrimp soldier and crab general.

I value your character, not your prestige. Today I will ask Cao Gong to resign and enter your He Mansion. Guo Jia said;

"Brother Guo, I dare to assure you that your choice is the right one!" Zhang Xiaotian said categorically;

"Then I'll see." After speaking, the hands of the two were tightly clasped together.

At this point, Zhang Xiaotian conquered the world, and the capital of Kuangfu Han was basically formed, with Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and Wu having the eldest brother Dian Wei, the third brother Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Liu Guan, Zhang and He Bao.

Time flew by, and five days later they left the beautiful valley and returned to the city of Yanzhou. In addition to Liu Guanzhang's three brothers and Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and He Bao all stayed behind to continue to train the "Flying Leopard" elite soldiers.

As soon as he arrived at He Mansion, He Miao looked for him, and said with a solemn expression: "Xun Yu has investigated that Yu Ban, it is said that this person is not only the best swordsman in Yanzhou,

The most powerful is the riding and archery kung fu, which can fire three arrows in a row, and the iron bow and copper string are used, and within 500 steps, people and animals are difficult to avoid. ”

Thinking of Qi Xiao's dead ghost's archery skills, which may still not be comparable to this person, Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help but feel numb at this time, so he asked, "What age is this Yu Ban?" β€œ

He Miao was obviously worried about him, and then sighed and said: "This year should be about thirty years old, I heard that he looks a little handsome, and no one knows that he is so powerful from the outside." ”

Then he said in a deep voice: "Xun Yu found out that Cao Hong and the others had already decided to find him to compete with you, and they dragged on for more than ten days, so that he could use this time to step up his practice.

Those people are not at ease, seeing that you and your wife and concubine are reunited after a long absence, there will be a lot of loss between the beds, it is really a shame that they can come up with such a dirty trick, and now even Wang Rong's mother and son are very worried about you. ”

Zhang Xiaotian was ashamed when he heard this, and at the same time thought that he was a little underestimated. He Miao patted him on the shoulder at this time and comforted: "Try to keep your spirits up, I will explain to Shu'er." ”

Zhang Xiaotian immediately returned to the hermitage residence, put everything away, avoided the quiet room, and meditated and breathed according to the instructions of Zhang's Tai Chi Addendum.

The next day, in the large campus of Yanzhou, there were crowds of people, like a busy city, all impatient to watch the upcoming martial arts competition.

One side is the most prestigious invincible warrior in Yanzhou, while the other side is an immortal swordsman from Chang'an who has become famous and has a strong record.

Everyone was looking forward to seeing how the two would split the winners.

Under the sun, three high platforms were set up on the side of the main hall, and I saw that the seats had been placed on them, and of course the seats of Cao Gong, Wang Rong and King Bohai were in the middle.

In the left stand, it was filled with military generals led by Cao Hong and Xiahoudun.

In the right stand, Li Tong, Cao Cao's strategists and He Miao were present. Guo Jia is also one of them, he was not qualified to enter the seat, but because he cared about Zhang Xiaotian, he used his three-inch tongue to lobby for a seat.

Others, on the other hand, had to stand around the school yard and watch the battle.

The armor of Qingzhou soldiers was bright, guarding the long steps of the main hall and around the three stands, and the spears flashed coldly in the sun, adding a lot of solemn and solemn atmosphere.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian and the others had just arrived by car, and after getting off the car, they walked towards the right platform, which immediately caused a sensation, and they all pointed at Zhang Xiaotian.

Xun Yu stepped forward at this time, and said to Zhang Xiaotian with a smile: "The people of Yanzhou like martial arts and respect heroes the most. ”

Zhang Xiaotian used the method in Zhang's Taiji supplement this morning to exhale his qi, at this time he was really energetic and full of fighting spirit, so he also laughed and said: "Thank you Brother Xun for your auspicious words!" ”

Xun Yu led him to the stands, and after introducing Zhang Xiaotian to everyone, he sat down, and then asked Xi Zhicai, who was sitting behind, "Is Yu Ban here?" β€œ

"It should be here! But I don't know where it is now? Xi Zhicai replied;

Suddenly, the horn sounded.

Surrounded by a team of "tiger and leopard riders", Cao Cao, Xiao Ben and Wang Rong, who were dressed in purple robes, walked out of the hall and walked towards the middle stand.

At this moment, all the sergeants stood solemnly and saluted, and the other people on and off the stage all knelt down to greet them, and the entire school was silent for a while.

Zhang Xiaotian secretly praised this scene in his heart, and just by seeing this, he already knew Cao Cao's strict management of the army and the obedience and discipline of the Qingzhou soldiers.

It was not until Cao Cao and Wang Rong's mother and son sat down on the stage and the attendants told everyone that they could take their seats, that they returned to their previous appearance, but now everyone stopped talking and waited for Wang Rong's announcement.

"Where is Zhang Xiaotian!" The attendant sang;

When Zhang Xiaotian heard this, he hurriedly got up, took off his robe, revealed his perfect body, stepped down and came to the front of the main stage, and made a big salute.

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Xiaotian happily and nodded incessantly to express his appreciation.

"Where is the general?" The attendant called out again;

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of hooves, and saw a whirlwind galloping from the front door.

At this time, the crowd burst into earth-shattering cheers, and they all gave way so that they could ride straight to the center of the field. If you talk about momentum, Zhang Xiaotian obviously lost a lot.

That forbidden riding technique is amazing, in a short distance, has changed the dive, side of all kinds of difficult movements, when about to stop, it is miraculously rolled under the horse's belly, and from the other side of the horse's back, then jumped off the horse, knelt on the ground, shouted: "The end will be forbidden!" Knock on Cao Gong, Queen Rong, and King Bohai! ”
