Chapter Eighty-Five: Chess Meets Opponents
Sun Shao is very grateful to Chen Hai and Zhou Yin, his skills are good, but he lacks actual combat experience, if it weren't for Chen Hai and them to accompany him to practice for more than a month, he would not be Guan Feng's opponent now.
The two of them tried their best, you came and went, the fist wind was whistling, the war knife was whistling, and the light was shining, and the people around them opened their mouths wide and were amazed. Zhang Cheng was secretly glad that although he didn't know Sun Shao's true intention, but Sun Shao took the initiative to provoke, but he roughly guessed some meanings, so he didn't say anything to stop it, when Sun Shao knocked down Guan Ping with one punch, he was still very proud, but as soon as Guan Yu made a move, he forced Sun Shao to his death and scared him enough. Now that Sun Shao and Guan Feng are evenly matched, he is finally relieved, but his heart is still hanging in the air.
Although he knew that Sun Quan had been suppressing Sun Shao, he knew that if Sun Shao was injured or even died because of this, all the responsibility would be his, and Sun Quan would definitely punish him severely while secretly happy, to show his love for Sun Shao.
So he looked at the two people fighting in the field, and he didn't even dare to blink his eyes.
Guan Yu is a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his eyesight is not comparable to a Confucian like Zhang Cheng. As soon as the two fought, he saw that Sun Shao and Guan Feng were roughly between them, and they seemed to be fighting fiercely, but their subordinates were measured and did not fight to the death. Looking at Sun Shao, whose eyes were blazing and concentrating on attacking Guan Feng, Guan Yu stroked his beard and showed a rare smile of appreciation.
"Father......" Guan Ping covered his chest, leaned to Guan Yu's side, and said with concern, "Sister will be fine, right?" ”
Guan Yu snorted, looking displeased, but he was still happy for Guan Ping's concern for Guan Feng. "What's wrong with your sister? It's you, you really give Lao Tzu a long face, and you can put people down in one round. ”
Guan Ping lowered his head in shame: "My son is incompetent, please punish my father." ”
"That's it, it's rare that this son can fight with Yinping at this time and not lose at this time." Guan Yu's tone softened a little, and he said to himself: "I didn't expect Sun Ce to have such a son." ”
"General ......" Don't drive Yin Guan and Pan Jun who are engaged in Zhizhong hurriedly rushed over, and when he saw the two people fighting in the field, he hurriedly walked in front of Guan Yu and saluted.
"Kong Xiu (Yin Guan's character), Chengming (Pan Jun's character), why are you here?"
Yin Guan smiled bitterly and pointed at the people who were gathering more and more. "General, now I'm afraid that most of Xiangyang City knows about it, if we don't know anymore, wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty?"
Guan Yu let out an "ah", and then he came to his senses, just now he only paid attention to watching Sun Shao and Guan Feng fight, but he forgot the reason for this incident. Unconsciously, the front of the Taishou Mansion has become a busy city, and the crowded crowd is pointing at Sun Shao and Guan Feng, and chattering and commenting. This is really a bit unusual, he raised his hand and wanted to shout, but the winner was already divided in the field, and Sun Shao had a slight advantage. The two of them took a few steps back at the same time, holding their swords upside down and bowing down.
"Sun Jun is strong in martial arts, and Feng admires it."
"Accept and concede, worthy of General Guan's tiger girl, a veritable heroine, Sun Shao admires."
Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but refused to lose face, snorted, turned around and went back to the house. Yin Guan and Pan Jun glanced at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and turned to salute Zhang Cheng. Zhang Chengbao's name, Yin Guan and Pan Jun were all bright.
"It turned out to be Pengcheng Zhang Zhonghe, a long-term name, a long-term name."
Zhang Cheng smiled, although he is not an official, his reputation in Shilin is well-known, but it is useless in front of people like Guan Yu. He hurriedly said a few words of modesty, and praised: "Xiangyang Yin Kongxiu, Wuling Pan Chengming, the two of them are also like thunder." ”
"Hahaha......" The three of them laughed in unison.
"Two gentlemen, the two envoys from Jiangdong asked the two gentlemen to receive them. Feng retired first. Guan Fengqiao's face was flushed, she was a little embarrassed to give a salute, and left in a hurry. Yin Guan hurriedly invited Zhang Cheng into the house, sat down in the side room, asked what he meant, and then thought about it: "Your envoy, please sit down for a while, I will come when I go." After speaking, he glanced at Pan Jun, and the two went out together.
Zhang Cheng looked at Sun Shao, who was sweating, and said with a smile: "Fengxian, I didn't expect you to stir up, but there was a turnaround." ”
Sun Shao shook his hand again and again: "Brother Zhong, don't blame, I am a person who can't stand it, I was indignant at that time, and I couldn't take care of a lot, and I didn't lose a big thing, and I was lucky." ”
Zhang Cheng didn't say much, just looked at Sun Shao with a smile, and after a while, said, "Actually, it's okay." You are too polite to an arrogant person like Guan Yu, but he doesn't take you seriously, only by showing his skills, he may be able to look up to you a few points. You did the right thing today, and when you go back, I will definitely ask the Supreme for your credit. ”
Sun Shao laughed: "I don't care if I don't work or not, I don't let Brother Zhong clean up the mess, I'm already very satisfied." ”
Zhang Cheng didn't answer him, and said with a faint smile: "Don't be easy either, in my opinion, General Guan will probably have to test your knowledge later." ”
"Try to learn, just try to learn, is it possible that Zhang Gong's family heirloom Zuo Chuan Chunqiu will lose to him as a martial artist?" Sun Shao squeezed his eyes at Zhang Cheng, and the two of them smiled heartily. Zhang Cheng suddenly had some doubts, Sun Shao worked so hard along the way, was it just to compete with Guan Yu to learn scriptures? But how did he know that Guan Yutong passed the Spring and Autumn Period?
Guan Yugao sat in the hall, his face full of anger, Yin Guan and Pan Jun knelt in front of him, and persuaded each other with good words.
"General, Jiangdong has this good intention, it is a great opportunity for the general, why should he refuse people thousands of miles away?"
"What kind of opportunity is this?" Guan Yu said angrily: "Could it be that marrying my daughter to an eight-year-old doll is not a dragon and a phoenix?" Not to mention that his grandson family is not a dragon and phoenix, even if it is, does my Guan Yu need to use my daughter for a future? ”
Yin Guan shook his head and said without impatience: "General, I'm not talking about this good opportunity, how can you do such a thing?" I'm talking about a good opportunity for the general to serve General Zuo. ”
As soon as he heard that it was related to Liu Bei, Guan Yu calmed down, he twisted his beard and muttered for a moment, "What does this have to do with General Zuo?" ”
"The general doesn't know that General Zhang and Zhang He have been confronting each other in Ba County for more than a month, and Shuzhong is uneasy, and it is no longer a matter of one or two. Xiahou Yuanshuai has a heavy army in Hanzhong, and he has long had the meaning of Tubashu, will General Zuo sit idly by? At this time, General Zuo must not want the general to have a dispute with Jiangdong, so as to try his best to fight Xiahou Yuan, stabilize Bashu, and then retake Hanzhong. ”
Although Guan Yu didn't think so, the anger on his face lightened a little.
"Originally, we had to beware of a sneak attack in Jiangdong, but now Cao Ying is marching eastward, and the battle with Jiangdong is imminent, at this time, Sun Quan took the initiative to send people to ask for relatives and show favor to me, which is exactly the situation that General Zuo wants. If the general refuses, Sun Quan will be furious, and maybe he will raise troops in anger, and in the future, General Zuo will know about it, won't he be disappointed? ”
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, feeling that what Yin Guan said made some sense.
"Moreover, General Zuo is a member of the royal family, and now that His Majesty is humiliated by the traitor Cao Ying, General Zuo must empathize with him and think about it at night. At this time, it was a good opportunity to recover Hanzhong and enter the customs with the soldiers to fight with Cao Ying with peace of mind. Once the western front is successful, the general can enter the Central Plains in the north, build an immortal feat, and then let Sun Quan respond from the eastern front, march together in three ways, and destroy Cao Ying together, wouldn't it be wonderful? ”
Guan Yu nodded again and again, but when he thought of marrying his daughter to Sun Deng, the eight-year-old doll, he was unhappy again.
"Why should the general worry?" Pan Jun said with a smile: "Sun Deng is only eight years old, even if he responds, he can't get married now." Why didn't the general use this as a reason to postpone the date, and in a few years, who could say exactly what the world would be like? Besides, if you marry Jiangdong, whether you succeed or not, you don't need the general to come forward, they originally went to Chengdu, wouldn't it be better for General Zuo to answer them? General Zuo and the general have a brotherhood, and it is impossible for him not to consider the general's love for his daughter, so that the general's loyalty will not be compromised, and the family affairs may not be successful. ”
Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, and then smiled comfortably.
Yin Guan and Pan Jun retreated, arranging for someone to run a pass for Zhang Cheng and them, and preparing to entertain Zhang Cheng with wine. At the table, they talked loudly, and naturally there was no need to say more. Guan Yu did not attend, he was not interested in the interaction between these scribes, and just asked Guan Ping and Liao Hua to accompany him. He returned to the backyard by himself, but saw Guan Feng standing quietly under the porch, the blush on his face had not yet dissipated, and when he saw him, he pursed his lips and smiled.
Guan Yu frowned puzzled: "Yinping, what are you happy about?" ”
Guan Feng's cheeks showed two shallow dimples, and she came up to support Guan Yu's arm: "Father, has Jiangdong's envoy been arranged?" ”
"Why do I need to arrange these things, just leave them to Yin Guan and them, and let them go west tomorrow." Guan Yu waved his hand and said lightly: "Pan Jun said that General Zuo will consider it, but it really can't work, you can also be perfunctory first." ”
Guan Feng blinked, his long eyelashes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Father, ...... Didn't Sun Shao say that you can compete in martial arts, but now you just have a martial arts competition, is this article still comparable? ”
Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Guan Feng, and hesitated for a while before saying, "What do you say?" ”
