Guo Jia shouted: "Presumptuous! Even if you know that you are a general, you still don't get off your horse and salute, how can you be so arrogant. ”

Guo Wu stiffened his neck. "Brother Fengxiao, this is a matter between martial artists, you don't understand."

Guo Jia was about to say more, but Sun Ce grabbed him and said with a smile: "It's not difficult for you to compete with me, defeat Chen Zhi within thirty rounds, and I will fight you." If you can't do it, then you should practice again. ”

Guo Wu frowned and responded, "Okay." "Turned the horse back, and fought with Chen Zhi again, but it was more ferocious, and he was forced to advance. Sun Ce shook his head, raised two fingers, and said to Wang Ji, who was betting with him, "Twenty at most." ”

That Wang Ji raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, he only heard Chen Zhi suddenly shouting, and the spear opened Guo Wu's halberd, and the spearhead shook and knocked on Guo Wu's forehand. Guo Wu didn't have time to withdraw his hand, he was hit by a blow, and suddenly screamed in pain, and subconsciously let go of his hand, leaving only the halberd tail in his right hand, the halberd head fell to the ground weakly, and the empty door was wide open. If it is a life-and-death fight, this is a dead end, the other party can take advantage of the weakness to enter, and it can penetrate the chest and abdomen, and it is easy to seriously injure or even take his life. Now is a martial arts competition, Guo Wu can only admit defeat, otherwise he will be messing around.

The situation is moving so fast that many people don't react. Guo Wu was still inseparable from Chen Zhi just now, why was he defeated all of a sudden. Many people thought that he was unlucky, but Sun Ce knew that it was inevitable. Chen Zhi has an introverted personality, and his martial arts are both offensive and defensive, with excellent toughness. In addition, he is a little older, and his strength is longer than Guo Wu, and if he can't win quickly in a few rounds, the possibility of defeating him again is extremely low. Guo Wu is young and vigorous, with bloody bravery, if he can be patient and guard the door, it will be difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, but Guo Wu is eager to win, his heart is impetuous, and he shows his flaws, and it is expected that he will be defeated by Chen Zhi.

Half a year ago, Chen Zhi had been able to fight with Guan Yu more than 100 times, and he had benefited a lot, and in the past few months, he has often learned from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and his martial arts have advanced greatly, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't easily defeat him, how can this young general defeat him.

Sun Ce turned around and laughed at Wang Ji and said, "Please send five hundred dollars to my account later." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Wang Ji smacked his lips regretfully and agreed.

Chen Zhi raised his hand, signaled the soldiers watching the battle to disperse, turned over and dismounted, and came to Sun Ce. Guo Yuan and Guo Wu also followed. Guo Wu looked annoyed and complained to Guo Yuan, Guo Yuan grabbed his shoulders and whispered something in his ear, Guo Wu calmed down a bit. The two walked up to Sun Ce, bowed, and reported their names.

Chen Zhi reported the situation, Guo Yuan, Guo Wu and Xu Chu fought each other, Guo Yuan supported more than ten combinations, and Guo Wu supported more than thirty combinations. Fighting with him, Guo Yuan supported more than 30 he, and Guo Wu fought with him for nearly a lily without falling behind. Chen Zhi was full of praise and strongly recommended that they be recruited into the White Warriors.

When Sun Ce hesitated, Guo Wu arched his hand and said, "General, I am friends with Qu Ahuai Li Hongjun. ”

Sun Ce was surprised. The Hongjun that Guo Wu said should be his brother-in-law Hongzhi, and Hongzhi's family lives in Huaili, Qu'a County. Only then did he remember that Guo Wu had just called himself Qu'a. "You're not from Yangzhai?"

"He is a distant branch of the Yangzhai Guo clan, and he has moved to Qu'a since his grandfather." Guo Jia explained, very briefly, as if there was an unfinished meaning. Sun Ce didn't ask again, there are always some unspeakable secrets in the big family, Guo Wu's grandfather may have a last resort reason for leaving Yangzhai, otherwise Guo Wu would not call himself a Qu'a person and deliberately dissociate himself from Yangzhai Guo's family.

This kid is a little arrogant.

Tao Qian smiled and looked Elfang up and down. Different from the elegant Elk Zhu, Elk Fang has a little more heroic spirit, the waist is straight, the steps of walking are very large, and he stops in time after surpassing the Elk Zhu several times, but it will not take two steps to exceed the possibility, so he has to stop again. Stop-and-go, so that his momentum was suppressed to a certain extent.

It's a pity that such a person was not used by me, but was poached by Sun Ce.

"Zifang, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I've made a lot of progress." Tao Qian greeted warmly, with the appreciation of the elders for the juniors.

Elfang didn't dare to slack off, stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile: "Make the king praise falsely, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

"You're welcome, we all know the history of the rebellious general's campaign in Junyi, he won with cavalry, and you must have made a lot of contributions. What is the official position now, the captain or the captain? ”

"Thanks to General Sun's refusal to give up, he is a cavalry captain."

Tao Qian's eyes flashed, stroked his beard, and swallowed back the words that followed. He wanted to provoke Elfang to see if he could dig him back. Sun Ce used his troops well and was good at training his subordinates, Tao Ying got along with him for several months, and he made obvious progress. If Elfang can be dug back, Xuzhou will have available cavalry generals. But when he heard that Elfang was already a cavalry captain, he closed his mouth in recognition.

Obviously, Sun Ce had already prevented him, so he promoted Elfang's official and didn't give him the opportunity to dig into the corner.

"Is this time back to visit relatives, or is there another mission?" Tao Qian looked at Lu Zhu and was secretly worried. Sun Ce wouldn't even want to poach Elk, right?

Lu Zhu said with a smile: "Yes, he has grown so big, it is the first time he has been away from home for so long, and he is a little homesick, so he will come back to see it in between battles." In addition, the rebellious general had a gift for the envoy, and asked him to stop by. ”

"Gifts?" Tao Qian smiled. The gift is not important, just stop digging his people. At the beginning, he was soft-hearted and agreed to Sun Ce's request, but Sun Ce poached several people from Xuzhou one after another, not only Zhang Zhao's family moved to Runan, but even Zhang Hong went. Zhang Zhao is a famous scholar in Pengcheng, Zhang Hong is a famous scholar in Guangling, driven by them, there are many people who want to vote for Sun Ce, making him a very faceless assassin in Xuzhou.

"General Sun had a great contradiction with the Runan clan, and in order to facilitate governance, he moved the state to Pingyu. In this way, it is too far away from the Lu State, once there is something, it is inconvenient to respond, and he heard that the envoy has captured Taishan County, so he wants to send the Lu State to the envoy to thank him for his help at the beginning of the year. ”

Tao Qian frowned and didn't speak for a long time. Although there are only five cities in Lu State, the population is quite large, with 70,000 or 80,000 households and 450,000 people, which cannot be compared with Runan, but it does not mean that you can give up if you give up. But for Sun Ce, it was not easy to hold the Lu State, and it was transferred to him, although Sun Ce lost tens of thousands of households, he got rid of a trouble, and let him face to face with Yuan Tan.

He seized the southern part of Taishan County, Yuan Tan has always wanted to take it back, there is Lu State in the middle, Yuan Tan has to guard against Sun Ce's blockade. Now that Sun Ce has withdrawn from the Lu State, Yuan Tan can directly attack the Lu State, and then attack Mount Tai, he has to ask for it if he doesn't want it, and he has to defend it if he doesn't defend it, otherwise Yuan Tan will not only recover Taishan County, but may even attack Xuzhou directly.

This kid is ruthless enough, one advance and one retreat, full of determination, and no mercy.

Tao Qian groaned for a long time and sighed. "General Sun is so loving, but I am disrespectful, so I can only obey my fate. Zizhong, you can take a trip for me, see if Chen Yi is willing to stay, see who can take on this important responsibility, and recommend someone for me to keep it. ”

Elk Zhu had already prepared. "Envoy, although Chen Yi is a famous minister, he is more than graceful and not capable. I suggest that Bing Cao engage in Ji Ling to serve as the prime minister of Lu, he is brave and good at fighting, loyal and commendable, and will be able to defend the state of Lu and serve as the Ping Domain of Xuzhou. ”
