Cao Bao's neck was light, his whole body was sweating like pulp, and he screamed in horror:

"My Head ......"

The screaming abruptly stopped. Cao Bao covered his head with his hands, and suddenly a joy of being in a desperate situation surged in his heart, and he was about to laugh out loud, when he suddenly woke up again, and "Ah! With a bang, the body fell on the horse's back, and hurriedly jumped into his own camp, and then the shock was settled.

Le Jin scared Cao Bao with a knife, not only cut off a few short whiskers of Cao Leopard, but also cut the silver helmet on Cao Leopard's head to the ground!

Seeing that the opponent fled into the army in embarrassment, Le Jin was still unsatisfied, and immediately crossed his sword and shouted at the camp of the Xuzhou army:

"Are there any darers?"

Although the other party was obviously dozens of steps away, the Xuzhou sergeants in the first few rows couldn't help but shrink their necks. Several "Danyang Soldiers" officers who have always been unruly, although their faces are full of resentment, and in the end, none of them dared to go out and challenge the arrogant and domineering Lejin outside the formation.

- Even those as brave as Cao Bao were defeated so badly. These officers, who were under Cao Bao and could not go through twenty moves at most, naturally did not dare to bring humiliation on themselves.

"Who dares to fight!"

"Is there a kind! Come out and fight! ”

He roared three times in front of the enemy's formation, and seeing that no one dared to fight, he turned his horse's head proudly and returned to his own position. In the loud cheers of the soldiers of the Tianping Army around him, Le came in front of the arrogance, rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said:

"Lejin has fulfilled his mission, the enemy general has escaped and does not dare to fight. Here's the order! ”

Zhang Mad looked at Le Jin under his command, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and he laughed and said:

"Who dares to cross the knife immediately? The only one, the great general! ”

When the surrounding Tianping Army heard this, they immediately shouted:

"Immediately cross the knife! Immediately horizontal knife! ……”

After the soldiers finished shouting, Zhang Mad stepped forward to help Le Jin, stuffed the reins of the horse he was riding into Le Jin's hand, and said loudly:

"Wen Qian's bravery is really rare in the world. It's a pity that there are not enough war horses in the army now, and good horses are scarce. My yellow-maned horse, although it is still not worthy of Wen Qian's horse kung fu, but I also ask Wen Qian to use it first. When the day comes, there are good horses in the army, and then they will be replaced by Wen Qian to ride. ”

"Lord ......"

Although he is only a good horse, not a famous horse, but looking at the envious eyes cast by the soldiers around him, Lejin, a brave general who has never been afraid on the battlefield, can't help but be moved to tears at this moment. He couldn't say anything on his lips, but he had already made up his mind in his heart.

-- The so-called "death of a confidant is a soldier" is right now.

As for the other side, although Cao Bao was defeated, no one in the Xuzhou army dared to laugh at him. Cao Hong carefully examined the ashamed Cao Bao from head to toe, and found that there were no missing parts on his body, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Cao Bao was still immersed in the defeat just now and couldn't extricate himself, Cao Hong reversed his usual sternness and persuaded him in a good voice:

"Zhong Biao, don't blame yourself. Since ancient times, how many famous players have been undefeated on the battlefield? Besides, although the enemy is brave, but when it comes to military strength, it is still our side that is stronger! ”

Although Cao Hong did not know much about military affairs, his words won the unanimous approval of several military candidates. Since the end of the Warring States period, with the intensity of the war, such a thing as the generals of both sides fighting alone has rarely appeared on the battlefield.

At that time, Xiang Yu, the "overlord of Western Chu", in front of the Han army, asked to go head-to-head with Gaozu Emperor Liu Bang to decide the belonging of the world. As a result, Han Gaozu said lightly, "I'd rather fight wit, not strength", and sent Xiang Yu, who was fully armed, away, and didn't see any drop in his morale.

Several "Danyang soldiers" are even more eager to try at this moment. One of the most belligerent came out and said:

"Lord Sima, let someone lead the people of the headquarters and go out to get it back for a while!"

Cao Hong waved the feather fan in his hand, glanced at the soldiers who were invited to fight, and said slowly:

"The enemy's soldiers are also quite well-organized, and it seems that the combat effectiveness is not weak. Moreover, with the men and horses in your hands, can you resist the impact of the fierce general called 'Lejin' just now? ”

The military was dumbfounded.

The so-called "1,000 people breaking" means that in a battle of 1,000 people, such a fierce general can break the balance of power between the two sides and lead his own side to win the battle. And in a hundred-level battle, with the help of such a fierce general, there is no suspense about victory or defeat at all.

For such a result, Cao Hong was slightly proud in his heart. He changed his words again and said:

"Besides, what is the purpose of me leading the army here, have you forgotten it?"

Several military candidates were even more speechless. This time, they did not come to fight, to put it bluntly. If this trip fails to rescue the future head of the Chen family, even Cao Hong has to go to Chen Qi to ask for guilt. Not to mention, these low-status military candidates.

"Then, in this negotiation, there will be Lao 'Gongyou'!"

Seeing the situation in the army and completely under his own control, Cao Hong saluted a young Confucian beside him. The Confucian priest replied with a salute, and did not refuse, but said calmly:

"Although it is dull, I will do my best, please return to Chen Yuanlong."

So, after the Xuzhou army retreated three miles, the two forces set up camp to confront each other. And the young Confucian had already ridden a donkey, riding alone, into the camp of the Tianping Army.

Zhang Mad sat in the handsome tent, with Le Jin by his side, looking at the personable young man in front of him, he was amazed in his heart. Xuzhou still has talents.

"Who's down there?"

The envoy did not answer, but looked around, smiled faintly, and said:

"I'm tired from afar, but please sit down."

Insolent and determined to kill the other party's prestige, he deliberately replied:

"This place is cramped, and it is even more inconvenient to march, and there has never been more than one seat, and I will forgive my sins."

- Boy, just stand and talk to me!

Let's laugh:

"I heard about the 'Yan Zi made Chu' in the past, and I was suspicious in my heart, thinking that the king of Chu was the king of a thousand times, how could he despise it? When I see it today, I can be regarded as having faith. ”

- Haven't you heard the story of Yan Zi making Chu back then, and the Chu people bullied Yan Zi for being short in stature and asked Yan Zi to drill a dog hole, but Yan Zi turned his lips and humiliated him?

Zhang Qiang's face turned red, and he thought to himself:

- This one is very eloquent......

"Zhang was rude. Find out if there are any better seats for the guests. ”

In these days, the orthodox sitting method in the Central Plains was similar to the kneeling sitting of later generations, that is, the posture of pressing the buttocks against the heels.

In order to avoid getting dirty while sitting, spread a mat under the legs and knees. If there is no mat in the field, it is called "sitting on the ground". It means to use the earth as a mat and then kneel on the ground.

For this way of sitting, Zhang Qi was a little uncomfortable at first. However, after getting used to this body, it felt quite natural to sit down. As for the chairs of later generations, they were still called "Hu chairs" in these years, which belonged to things that came from foreign countries, and they were not elegant.

"Who's down there?"

Waiting until the two sides sat down in a confrontational manner, Zhang Qiang asked.

"Under the surname Sun, the name is Qian, and the word Gongyou. He is now studying from Zheng Shangshu. A few days ago, I happened to pass Pengcheng, and I knew that Chen Yuanlong of the East China Sea was in your army, and he came to visit. ”

ps: Character - Sun Qian.

An important diplomat under Liu Bei. Those who have played the Three Kingdoms series of games, when they know this Sun Qian's eloquence, it is quite good.
