Zhang Liao, the general of Zhengdong, heard Cao Ying's summons, and hurried to arrive with his son Zhang Hu and Zhang Wei, the governor of the department, and when he saw Cao Ying with a smile on his face, Zhang Liao was a little surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "General Zhengdong Chen Liao, I have seen the prime minister and His Royal Highness the King of Wei." ”

"Wenyuan, your prestige spreads far and wide in Jiangdong." Cao Ying was in a very good mood, stepped forward, took Zhang Liao's arm and said, "Sun Quan was broken by you, and now he wants to take revenge on you." Do you have the confidence to fight? ”

Zhang Liao was both a little proud and a little inexplicable, and he asked tentatively: "Your Highness, is this ...... What's going on? ”

Cao Ying laughed, stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, and motioned for Liu Ye to explain the situation. When Zhang Liao heard this, he smiled dumbly, and said proudly: "As long as His Highness gives the order, the minister will go to the front of the battle, behead this vertical son who does not know the height of the sky, and present it to His Highness." ”

Cao Ying glanced at Zhang Liao quietly, rolled his eyes, and said, "Do you know what is abnormal about this Sun Shao?" ”

Zhang Liao thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know, please ask Your Highness for advice." ”

"General, this Sun Shao is Sun Ce's only son." Liu Ye interjected: "He is nineteen years old this year, he has not been out of office, and at the beginning of the year, he just married Guan Yu's daughter Guan Feng. ”

"Guan Yu's daughter?" Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, rubbing his two rough big hands, a little embarrassed. Sun Shao doesn't matter to him, kill and kill, but Guan Yu and his friendship is very good, when Guan Yu was in Cao Ying, the two were like brothers, although they are their masters now, they don't have much contact, but the feelings of the year are still there, if he is asked to kill Sun Shao now, he can't help but be a little sorry for his old friend. But this mood only passed for a moment, and he immediately raised his head and said with a smile: "Although he is the son-in-law of Yun Chang, he is also a son of the Sun family, since he dares to come to call the battle, I naturally can't be polite." ”

"Not really." Liu Ye shook his head and smiled meaningfully: "Why don't you want to think about it, why did Sun Quan send Sun Shao to challenge?" ”

Zhang Liao was puzzled, thought for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Could it be?" ”

"Exactly." Cao Ying interjected and sneered: "Sun Zhong has obtained his brother's inheritance, but he is not worried about his brother's orphan, he is afraid of bearing this notoriety, but he wants to borrow my knife." Uh-huh, is he a fool to be an old man? ”

"But ......" Zhang Liao was a little embarrassed: "In this battle, we can't deliberately give in, that will have a great impact on the morale of our army." ”

"You don't need to let him, just defeat him, it's okay to hurt him, but don't hurt his surname." Cao Ying waved his hand and said indiscriminately: "It's better to keep him than to kill him." ”

Zhang Liao comprehended and bowed down to answer: "The minister receives the order." ”

"Go ahead." Cao Ying waved his hand, turned to Liu Ye and said, "Please come and watch the battle with me to see if Sun Shao has the style of his father." ”

Liu Ye responded and turned around to arrange. Zhang Liao left the camp, took Zhang Hu, Zhang Wei and others, returned to the camp to put on armor and halberd, and came to the front of the battle with the personal guard song. Cao Jun, who was guarding the riverside, had already received the news and had already let Sun Shao and the others go ashore. Sun Shao rode a flaming red high-headed horse, holding a halberd in one hand, pointing obliquely to the sky, his tall and sturdy body was straight, galloping back and forth in front of the formation. The heroic horse of the red rabbit with Sun Shao's heroic posture is really like a tiger, a horse like a dragon, majestic, indispensable, anyone who sees it has to cheer, a young hero.

Zhang Liao's heart suddenly chuckled, and suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly changed.

Zhang Hu saw the change in Zhang Liao's expression in his eyes, and hurriedly asked, "Ah Weng, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Liao didn't speak, his eyes stared at Sun Shao in the distance, and suddenly lowered his head and rubbed his eyes: "The wind is blowing, and my eyes are uncomfortable." Zhang Hu looked up at the direction of the wind and felt that something was wrong, this wind was a northwest wind, blowing from behind, and it was not big, how could it be uncomfortable. He didn't say anything, hesitated for a moment and said, "Ah Weng, why don't you let me go and meet him." ”

Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Be careful, this son is extraordinary in martial arts, don't underestimate the enemy." ”

Zhang Hu hadn't spoken yet, but Zhang Wei snorted disapprovingly, and arched his hand: "Young General, why don't you go to war, leave this unknown person to me." In my opinion, this shaft is not worth mentioning, but the horse is still visible, and when I come forward to take it, I will present it to the general. ”

Zhang Liao glanced at him, and said, "You are so light on the enemy, how can you respond to the battle?" It is a small matter to die in battle, but it is a big thing to hurt the morale of our army. You only know that the horse is good, but do you know the origin of the horse? ”

Zhang Wei blushed and lowered his head embarrassedly.

"I think this horse looks familiar, it seems to be ...... It seems to be the red rabbit that Wen Hou rode before. Zhang Liao looked at Sun Shao, who was still calling in the distance, and muttered to himself, "Count it out, that horse is already old, but that horse later returned to Guan Yu, Guan Yu is the person who received the horse, it is impossible not to breed without it, this horse is tall, with slender and powerful limbs, and it looks very similar to the blood of the red rabbit." ”

"Wenhou Lu Bu?" Zhang Hu suddenly understood why Zhang Liao had lost his temper just now. Wenhou Lu Bu is Zhang Liao's old master, and Zhang Liao is also a teacher and friend, when Zhang Liao first entered Ding Yuan's account, Lu Bu instructed him in martial arts, and later has been following Lu Bu to fight, Baimenlou Lu Bu was captured by Cao Ying, Gao Shun was righteous, but Zhang Liao was unwilling to break his life, so he surrendered Cao Ying. He has made many military exploits under Cao Ying's account, and now he has been promoted to the position of general of Zhengdong, which can be described as a success, but the guilt of Lu Bu back then has always been a hidden pain in his heart. Now that he saw the war horse that looked like Chitu, he might think of Lu Bu again.

In fact, Zhang Liao's mood was far more complicated than he thought. Sun Shao is not only a statue of a horse and Lu Bu, but also looks a little similar, they are very handsome, the Sun Shao in front of him who is holding an iron halberd, wearing battle armor, and a red rabbit horse under his crotch, is alive and well a young version of Lu Bu, and more importantly, his character is also Fengxian, which makes Zhang Liao have an illusion in a trance, as if he is not in Cao Ying, but in Jiuyuan's Thorn History Mansion.

"In that case, Aweng, I will go and take the horse and present it to my father." Zhang Hu said loudly.

"I'll go." Zhang Wei asked for orders again.

"Well, be careful." Zhang Liao regained his composure in a moment, nodded, and said solemnly: "Be careful, don't hurt his life." The king has an order, and it is useful to keep him. Zhang Wei smiled disapprenously, urged the horse to step forward, came to the front of the formation, and grabbed the reins of the horse when he was a hundred steps away from Sun Shao, and shouted loudly: "I am Zhang Wei, the general of the Eastern Army, and I will be known as the general." ”

Sun Shao was riding on the horse, feeling the wonderful rhythm brought by the elegant steps of the red rabbit horse, feeling the violence in his body that was usually rarely revealed, and the bamboo handle halberd in his hand seemed to suddenly have vitality, and his blood began to beat synchronously, rising with the pace of the red rabbit horse. His foot combat has been tested by Chen Hai, Guan Feng and others, and he has enough confidence, but the riding battle is dwarfed, and he has practiced a lot, and his riding skills are also exquisite, but there are not many opportunities to really fight with people, that is, he tried with Guan Feng for a long time yesterday. However, he has his unique weapons, one is the high bridge saddle he sat on, and the other is the stirrup that he deliberately blocked with a long armor skirt, with these two sharp weapons, he is now sitting on the back of the red rabbit as steady as Mount Tai, full of confidence, this can close his eyes, gallop back and forth in front of thousands of Cao Jun like a leisurely stroll, while letting the violence in his chest suppress the fear in his heart, while being familiar with this beautiful feeling, and establishing a tacit understanding with the red rabbit horse.

Hearing the shouts of General Cao on the other side, he opened his eyes, glanced at Zhang Wei, and then looked at the general flag in front of Cao Jun, and surrounded a mighty general who was nearly half a hundred years old like a moon, and it seemed that it should be Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the head of the five good generals. Although he can't see his face clearly from a distance, that kind of self-confidence and calmness is not something that ordinary people can pretend.

Sun Shao grabbed the reins, raised the iron halberd in his hand high, carried enough dantian qi, and shouted: "The son of the rebellious general, Sun Shao of Wujun, come to challenge!" ”

Zhang Liao looked at Sun Shao with some surprise, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Hu, Zhang Hu was also a little surprised, it can be heard from this cheer that the strength of the young man on the opposite side is not bad. Zhang Liao looked at Zhang Wei in front of the battle, and suddenly had an ominous feeling.

Zhang Wei was ignored by Sun Shao intentionally or unintentionally, and was annoyed, and he just wanted to pick Sun Shao off the horse, and without saying a word, he urged the war horse to rush forward. When Sun Shao saw him start, he stopped talking nonsense, his legs knocked on the horse's belly, and the red rabbit suddenly accelerated, and in just a few seconds, he increased his speed, and rushed towards Zhang Wei at a gallop. Sun Shao sat firmly on the horse's back, leaned down, released the reins of the horse, held the halberd with both hands, and locked his eyes on Zhang Wei.

The distance of one hundred and ten steps was in a blink of an eye, and in a few breaths, Sun Shao rushed to Zhang Wei with a compelling momentum.

Zhang Wei was taken aback, he suddenly realized that he had made a fatal mistake, although Zhang Liao had reminded him, but he still underestimated Sun Shao, especially Sun Shao's horse. This horse is not only tall and long-legged, one step out is more than half of the horse he stepped on, and the speed of the start is very amazing, just now it was just a jog, two steps, has become a gallop, his horse speed has not been raised, the iron halberd in his hand has not been leveled, Sun Shao has arrived in front of him, the sharp iron halberd in the early morning sun reflects the light of the cold forest, and the awe-inspiring murderous aura is coming.

The rapid sound of horses' hooves was like a fierce war drum, almost synchronized with Zhang Wei's beating heart, approaching at a speed that Zhang Wei didn't expect, and the moment the two horses were staggered, the iron halberd in Sun Shao's hand had been stabbed in Zhang Wei's chest. The sharp iron halberd pierced the iron armor, splitting the armor pieces and piercing directly into his body. What's worse is not the stabbing wound, Zhang Wei was stabbed by the iron halberd, his legs could no longer clamp the war horse, and he was provoked in mid-air by Sun Shao's halberd, a huge pain came, Zhang Wei threw the iron halberd that had not had time to stab out, held Sun Shao's halberd tightly with both hands, and let out a terrible roar.

One looks at the face, and the winner is decided.

Zhang Liao's face suddenly turned pale, and the soldiers watching the battle next to him were also very shocked, Zhang Wei's martial arts were all counted, and no one thought that he would be killed by someone with a halberd, and it was so clean and fast, that Cao Ying and others, who had just stepped onto the stage, did not see the process clearly, and the first round had already had a result.

"This ......" Cao Ying was very surprised, pointing to Sun Shao, who was shouting in front of the battle with one arm and picking Zhang Wei, speechless.

"How can it be?" Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and scolded, reaching out to get his iron halberd, but Zhang Hu stopped him: "Ah Weng, Zhang Wei didn't expect his horse to be so fast, and he fell into his way without being prepared, wait for me to kill him and avenge Zhang Wei." ”

Zhang Liao's snort was a little rough, Zhang Wei had followed him for many years, and he had gone through countless battles, but he didn't expect to be picked on like this today, he felt both ashamed and sad, but he hadn't lost his mind yet, and said hatefully: "Be careful, don't stab him, hurt his life." ”

"Whoa." Zhang Hu responded with his fists, urged the horse to rush out of the battle formation, and stood opposite Sun Shao in front of the formation. Sun Shao, who was immersed in the joy of winning the first battle, saw that someone rushed out again, shook his hand, threw the seriously injured Zhang Wei aside, and returned to the east side by himself.

"The son of General Zhengdong, Yanmen Zhang Hu, came to fight." Zhang Hu shouted loudly and leveled the iron halberd in his hand.

When Lu Yi and Gan Pi, who were watching the formation for Sun Shao, heard this, their hearts that had just been put down a little bit were lifted again, the person just now was just a general, but now this is Zhang Liao's son, Zhang Liao may be able to point out the martial arts of the general, but he will definitely not be as attentive as his son. Can Sun Shao be Zhang Hu's opponent?

"Sun Shao of Wu County, waiting for teaching." Sun Shao regained his composure again and said loudly.

At this time, the Chinese army suddenly sounded a burst of passionate drums, Zhang Hu turned his head to look, only to see Cao Ying and others standing on the general platform of the Chinese army, looking this way, two upper body ** drummers are beating the drum hard, the rumbling drum is like a rush, the sound is rolling, moving. Zhang Hu was grateful in his heart, knowing that this was Cao Ying cheering him up, he owed it on the horse, raised the iron halberd in his hand and waved, and shouted: "Kill!" "Whip the horse's buttocks with a halberd. The war horse was in pain, let out a long neigh, and suddenly jumped forward. He knew that Sun Shaoma was fast, so he accelerated in advance to prevent repeating Zhang Wei's mistake.

"Kill!" Sun Shao leveled the iron halberd at the same time, urging the war horse again, with the successful experience of the last time, this time he was even more confident, and the cooperation with Chitu seemed to be much closer.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Hundreds of weapons in Cao's hands suddenly shouted, and the momentum was amazing.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Lu Yi raised his arms and shouted, although his voice was drowned out by Cao Jun's roar, Sun Shao couldn't hear it at all, but he shouted without hesitation. When Gan Pi saw it, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and shouted as well, the first time there was no sound, the second day he was a little hoarse, and when he shouted the third and fourth sounds, he found that feeling, and shouted with a red face.

While speaking, Sun Shao and Zhang Hu were already staggered, and the two iron halberds slammed together with the sound of the wind, and the two of them felt a vibration in their hands at the same time, and the halberd blade had deviated from the direction, stabbed past each other's side, and quickly separated.

"Good!" Zhang Liao let out a low cry. Secretly relieved, Sun Shao's horse is fast, accelerating together at the same distance, Zhang Hu will suffer a lot, and now Zhang Hu is safe and sound in the first round, which means that he has found a way to deal with Sun Shao and will not suffer on this issue. Next, Zhang Hu's years of experience in fighting will give him the upper hand.

Although the soldiers of Cao Jun did not think as much as Zhang Liao thought, they were also very excited when they saw that Zhang Hu and Sun Shao were evenly matched, shouting loudly and cheering, and Cao Ying and others on the stage were also relieved.

"Wenyuan's son, it's really good." Cao Ying smiled and smiled at Liu Ye and the others beside him.

"General Zhengdong is a famous tiger general in front of His Royal Highness's tent, and the tiger father has a dog." Liu Ye smiled playfully.

"Well, but this Sun Shao is not bad, quite his father's style." Cao Ying nodded appreciatively: "The northerners are good at riding horses, the southerners are good at boats, and he is a southerner who can use a halberd with both hands on a horse, and this riding skill alone is commendable." It's not easy to play against Zhang Hu. ”

"Your Highness is exactly what he said." Liu Ye said: "I see that this son is sitting very firmly on the horse, and under the rush just now, he can provoke Zhang Wei with one arm, and his strength is not weak." ”

"What Zi Yang said is very true." Cao Ying stroked his beard, nodded secretly, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that my yellow beard is not there, otherwise, he must be moved." ”

Liu Ye said with a smile: "Although this son is brave, he is at most on par with Zhang Hu, how can he be the opponent of Marquis Yan Ling." ”

"Hahaha......" Cao Ying laughed proudly.

Just as they were talking, Sun Shao and Zhang Hu turned around and fought for a few more rounds, and the two became more and more courageous, and they did not give in to each other. Zhang Hu wants to defeat Sun Shao to avenge Zhang Wei, and Sun Shao wants to make a name for himself, of course, he will go all out. But he is not in a hurry, after a few rounds, he has found that his martial arts are actually comparable to Zhang Hu, he is better than the tall and strong war horse, and has stirrups and saddles to help, and Zhang Hu is rich in experience, which is exactly what he lacks, and such an opponent is of great benefit to quickly improve his experience, so he can clearly have the upper hand, but deliberately does not use brute force, but is entangled with Zhang Hu with all his might.

The two of you go back and forth, and in a matter of moments, there are dozens of rounds. Every round of the past to circle back the horse and charge again, the real fight is only in the moment after the two horses pass by, in fact, it is far less beautiful than imagined, and there are not so many fancy tricks, just grid, block, stab, peck, push, pull a few moves, but there is no negligence at all. The speed of the war horse running is already amazing, coupled with the superposition of the speed of the two horses, the time that is really conducive to the attack is only about a few tenths of a second, and any negligence may cause fatal danger.

After fighting dozens of times, Sun Shao became more and more energetic and refreshed, and the red rabbit under his crotch also raised his head and tail, full of energy, but Zhang Hu was a little panting. His war horse and strength are not as good as Sun Shao, with experience and Sun Shao with all his strength, although he did not fall behind, but the physical exertion is too great, and his war horse seems to be a little afraid of Sun Shao's red rabbit, every time he has to clamp the horse's belly to death, kick hard, before he dares to run with all his strength, which is a big burden for his physical strength.

When he circled back the horse again and was about to charge, Zhang Hu tragically found that his horse's legs began to tremble.

"Come again!" Compared with his discomfort, Sun Shao was high-spirited and loudly invited to fight, in the fierce war drums, the red rabbit took a big stride and galloped, Sun Shao held the halberd in both hands, and approached quickly. Zhang Hu smiled bitterly and kicked the war horse, the war horse trembled and refused to start, Zhang Hu was in a hurry, and kicked hard, but it was too late, Sun Shao was alone and a horse, and he had already rushed to him, with an angry roar, and the iron halberd stabbed him head-on.

Zhang Liao was taken aback, he saw Sun Shao start to accelerate, and when Zhang Hu was still in place, he realized that something was wrong, but when he reacted, it was too late, Sun Shao had already rushed to Zhang Hu and stabbed out the iron halberd in his hand, Zhang Liao screamed, didn't think much about it, kicked the horse's belly, urged the horse to step forward, and snatched his iron halberd from the hands of the guards, and shouted at the same time: "Ah Hu be careful!" ”

Zhang Hu couldn't hear the sound behind him, he stared at the iron halberd that was stabbed quickly, gritted his teeth, and struggled to erect the halberd in his hand, all he could do now was to hope that Sun Shao's iron halberd could be used to hold Sun Shao's iron halberd with the halberd in his hand, and it was very dangerous to do so, as long as Sun Shao twisted his wrist and let the halberd change direction, everything he did in a hurry would all come to naught. Even if Sun Shao didn't change direction, he could block the halberd, but the powerful impact would also pierce the halberd into his body.

And through the confrontation with Sun Shao just now, he believes that Sun Shao will definitely do this, and he can do it.

However, there was no better way for him.

Zhang Liao, who came from Pegasus, also saw Zhang Hu's predicament, he couldn't wait to get his wings and rush over to save his son, but all this was a dream, he could only watch Sun Shao's iron halberd stab Zhang Hu in the chest.
