Chapter 6 Cross the river and go alone
"Hey, you erection, you're really brave." Sun Quan is really mad, what is going on, Gan Ning is just angry, why is such a little rabbit cub as Gan Bao so hard? Both father and son are fucking sluts. Looking at him like this, he should have been drugged by Sun Shao, either accompany him across the river to fight, or be embarrassed and thrown home. Sun Quan said ruthlessly, but if he wanted to kill Gan Bi, he really had to consider the consequences. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and after turning around twice, he found that the culprit Sun Shao hadn't come yet, and he was so angry that he yelled at Zhu Ji who was standing aside: "What about Sun Shao, why haven't you come yet?" ”
Zhu Ji cautiously replied: "Back to the Supreme, he is rectifying the saddle horse, and said that after defeating Zhang Liao, he will come to the Supreme to ask for guilt." ”
Sun Quan was speechless, stood stunned for a long time, and suddenly yelled at Gan Pei: "Go, you go and tell him that you want to go to Cao Ying, and you will go tomorrow." After speaking, he entered the big tent without looking back.
Gan Pi was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, and went straight to Sun Shao's big tent in a huff. In front of the big tent, a tall fiery red war horse was snorting, and the four hooves with the big mouth of the bowl were trampling on the ground, and the hard earth was trampled messily by it. When Gan Pi looked at the horse, his eyes lit up, and he forgot what he was here for. There are few horses in Jiangdong, and in general, except for the officers who have horses to ride, only the personal guards of the generals have war horses. Gan Pi is a Lang official and has a war horse, but that horse is almost like a donkey compared to the horse in front of him. The horse was tall, more than seven feet five inches tall at the shoulders, with four slender hooves, his fur shiny and smooth, his strong muscles rolling under the skin, and his strength was full of power, and the most impressive thing was his large, divine eyes, which always seemed to reveal a hint of pride.
"What are you doing? Regretted it? Sun Shaojing, bare-chested, carrying a bucket in one hand and a brush in the other, walked from behind the tent, put the bucket on the ground, and said to Gan Pi in a contemptuous tone while brushing the horse's hair.
Gan Pei glared at him angrily, withdrew his greedy gaze, and sneered: "Congratulations to the captain, the Supreme has agreed, let you go to Cao Ying tomorrow." As for me, I must follow the captain's footsteps and witness the captain's heroic posture with my own eyes.
Gan Pei always thought that Sun Shao knew that Sun Quan would not let him go to Cao Ying, so he pretended to go to Cao Ying to challenge, Sun Quan really let him go now, he would definitely be embarrassed, so he stared at Sun Shao's eyes, hoping to see the nervous look on Sun Shao's face, and then make a big sarcasm of him. To his surprise, Sun Shao was very calm, but laughed instead, turned his head to Gan Pi and said, "I know, see you at the ferry tomorrow morning, and ask your father to arrange a boat to send us across the river to Cao Ying." ”
After saying that, he concentrated on brushing the horse and never looked at Gan Pi again. Gan Pi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and left with hatred.
"You're crazy!" Sun Shangxiang walked out of the big tent, his face was pale, and he gestured to Sun Shao: "Your aunt is dizzy again." ”
Sun Shao hurriedly threw down the brush and rushed into the big tent. Guan Feng's eyes were full of tears, hugging the bridge tightly, and looking at Sun Shao helplessly. After Daqiao was pulled back to the big tent by them, his mood has been unstable, he fainted without saying a word, he slept for a while, just better, and happened to hear the words of Sun Shao and Gan Pi outside, and he fainted again.
Sun Shao wiped the water on his body a few times, took the bridge from Guan Feng's arms, and reached out to pinch her person. Daqiao groaned, slowly opened his eyes, as soon as he saw Sun Shao's nervous face, before he spoke, tears couldn't stop flowing out, she raised her hand, beat Sun Shao's chest weakly, and cried bitterly: "Idiot, you want to be angry with your mother......" turned around and pulled Guan Feng's shirt again, "Yinping, his surname is urgent, why do you ...... also added to the chaos, don't persuade him...... That's it, how can you pay it back...... Give him the horse, do you want to be a widow? Widow...... It's not easy to do, Grandma...... I have been doing it all my life...... Widow, I don't want you to ...... Be a widow too......"
Listening to Daqiao's extremely sad cry, Guan Feng's eyes were also red, she glanced at Sun Shao, and stopped talking. Sun Shangxiang saw it, pulled her out of the big tent, looked at the energetic war horse, Sun Shangxiang's eyes were red, and it took a long time before he said: "Yinping, do you think he can do it?" ”
Guan Feng calmed down, and quietly made a look, and Shuai Zeng immediately arranged for someone to be on alert nearby. Guan Feng lowered his voice and said, "Auntie, this matter seems to be dangerous, but in fact, it is not as dangerous as Gan Ning's camp. ”
Sun Shangxiang blinked and looked at Guan Feng's face in a daze.
"Gan Ning attacked the camp, neither of the two sides knew the details, there was only one purpose: to kill the other party, hundreds of people attacked the camp, all of them reversed, of course, there is their courage and martial arts, but it is more luck. This is not the case with heads-up. Guan Feng said a few words, calmed down, and carefully analyzed: "He went to challenge in broad daylight, even if Cao Jun was unwilling to accept the challenge, he would not hurt his surname in vain." Moreover, Fujun said that after Cao Jun was attacked by Gan Ning, he also needed a personal duel of bravery to save morale, so he was likely to accept the challenge. And a one-on-one duel, auntie, you know your husband's martial arts. ”
Sun Shangxiang frowned, Sun Shao's martial arts are clear to her, he inherited the talent of his brother Sun Ce, and he has outstanding skills in martial arts, if he fights alone, there is indeed not much danger, at least it is much safer than fighting on the battlefield. However, Zhang Liao is a native of Bingzhou, although Sun Shao's riding skills are good, can he compare with Zhang Liao, who has fought all his life on horses?
"Yes." Guan Feng's words were very sure, but her confidence was not very strong, she blinked her eyes, looked at the war horse that stretched out her head and licked her hand affectionately, and said: "Auntie, Fujun has made a new pair of saddles, and a pair of stirrups can make him as stable as Mount Tai on the horse, not to mention Zhang Liao, even if Lu Bu is reborn, he may not be able to win Fujun easily." ”
"So confident?" Sun Shangxiang looked at Guan Feng in disbelief. Guan Feng's face turned a little pale, bit his lower lip tightly, and nodded. After a while, she said again: "Being insulted to my father, if you don't spit out this breath, your husband will be alive in the future, and you will have no face to see people. ”
Sun Shangxiang didn't say a word, and sighed gloomily. Of course she knew what Guan Feng meant, Gan Ning was disrespectful to Sun Ce in front of so many people, Sun Shangxiang thought that it was not as simple as a drunken gaffe, she even thought that it was connived at by Sun Quan, that is, to force Sun Shao to send him to death and kill people with a knife. As soon as she thought of this, she was furious, and she couldn't wait to cut down Gan Ning now, or scold Sun Quan in front of her like a bridge. This Erlang is too disrespectful, he inherited the eldest brother's inheritance, but he bullied the eldest brother's only son like this, is he still human?
"Mother, it's okay." Sun Shao accompanied the smiling face, carefully comforting Daqiao, he bent his arms, puffed up his strong muscles, and said in a swaggering manner: "Mother, look, I am so strong, who can hurt me?" ”
"Fart!" Daqiao, who rarely speaks foul language, has finished all her life's foul words today, she sat up from Sun Shao's arms, raised her hand to fight, but saw that half of Sun Shao's face was still a little red, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then sank her face, intuitively thinking that it was Sun Quan who beat her, in her heart, except for Sun Quan, no one dared to bully Sun Shao like this: "He beat him?" ”
"Huh?" Sun Shao was inexplicable, and it wasn't until Daqiao gently stroked his face, which was injured by Sun Shangxiang last night, that he suddenly realized. Hurriedly smiled: "No, it was my aunt who touched it, it's okay, I've already taken the medicine, okay." ”
"How did she ......" Daqiao was furious as if someone had moved his heart, and he raised his hand to call Sun Shangxiang to come in and question, Sun Shao hurriedly shook his head, signaled her to be calm, and said his plan again, and finally patted his chest and said: "Mother, do you see what losses I have suffered recently?" I'm not sure, I dare to take a trip to Caoying? If you put a hundred hearts, I will come back safely, and I will not lose a single hair. Isn't it Cao Ying? I can go all over the world, let alone Cao Ying. ”
"Shaft, you know bragging, that Cao Sheng...... Cao Ying is a good person? In case of...... In case something is good, who do you let your grandmother rely on in the future, and the silver screen, do you want her to be the same as your grandmother? You didn't even have an heir, but you ......."
As soon as he said this, Ohashi remembered the bitterness of these years, and tears couldn't help but flow out.
"You can rest assured." Sun Shao begged softly: "Mother, I promise you, I will be able to come back safely, after this time, we will go to sea, leave these people who calculate me all day long, go to find a fairy mountain, and live the rest of your life comfortably, I have a bunch of children with Yinping, and you will definitely be too busy." ”
Sun Shao swore by it, looking confident, Daqiao was moved by what he said, collected tears, looked at Sun Shao with teary eyes, and held his hand tightly: "Are you really sure?" ”
"Of course." Sun Shao's chest was pounding, where it was like going to Cao Ying to fight alone, it was almost the same as going to a banquet. Daqiao is a woman in the end, where would he think so much, thinking about Sun Shao's performance in the past few months, he has some faith, although he is still apprehensive in his heart, he is relieved, and he is no longer as insistent as he was just now. She thought for a while, and then said: "In this case, Aunt Rong repaired a letter and sent it to Cao Gong, and my father had some friendship with him back then, which may be of some use." ”
Sun Shao laughed, didn't say much, and hurriedly asked people to prepare pen and ink.
Sun Shangxiang and Guan Feng heard that there was no crying in the tent, looked at each other, and glanced at the door of the tent with a weak heart, but saw that Daqiao was wiping tears and writing a book at the same time, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised. Sun Shangxiang opened his mouth and said for a long time: "This little vertical man is really capable, and he actually persuaded his sister-in-law in a few words." ”
After a night of speech, Ohashi wrote a book all night, wrote and sharpened, and always felt that the words did not reach the meaning, as if they were not enough to move people. Although Guan Feng had a belly, he didn't dare to disturb Sun Shao's mind at this time, on the contrary, Sun Shao, the party, was very relieved, eating and sleeping as usual, and getting up the next day as usual, and actually lying in bed for a while as usual, so that Gan Pei, who was waiting outside, thought that he regretted it.
After receiving the book that was finally written by the bridge, Sun Shao said goodbye to a few women with forced smiles, got on the red rabbit horse, and said to the somewhat nervous Gan Pi: "Let's go, what are you still doing in a daze?" ”
Gan Pi grinned, wanting to behave naturally, but he couldn't laugh, he got on the horse, although he looked at Sun Shao's saddle a little strange, but he didn't think too much, just led Sun Shao to the river. There is a building boat parked by the river, which is the seat of General Gan Ning. Gan Ning sat on the top of the golden knife, looking at Sun Shao and Gan Pi who came side by side, and frowned unhappily. The son who usually looks a little heroic compared to Sun Shao has become a soft egg, and the bitter look on his face makes Gan Ning very unhappy.
"General Rush." Sun Shao arched his hand expressionlessly, "General Lao Zhichong personally sent me across the river, I really don't want to go." ”
Gan Ning sneered: "You don't have to thank me, this is the order of the Supreme." He paused, and then said: "At a young age, it is rare to have such courage. I hope you don't pay lip service, if you can return victoriously, Gan Ning will apologize to you in person. ”
"Then ask the general to prepare the food and drinks." Sun Shao also sneered, turned around and ignored Gan Ning. Gan Ning snorted, took care of himself into the cabin, and never showed up again.
Sun Shao entered the cabin on the lower deck, but saw an acquaintance, Lu Yi was sitting in the cabin, looking at him respectfully.
"Bodao, what are you?"
"On the order of the Supreme, accompany the captain to Cao Ying." Lu Yi smiled faintly, subconsciously glanced at Gan Pi, and said: "The captain of the school fights against Yu Wei, and rides alone to challenge, this is a good thing to boost morale, if it succeeds, it will be a good story in the future, and the supreme order Lu Yi to come in person, and it will be good for the captain to be carried on the bamboo silk in the future." ”
Sun Shao laughed, and didn't delve into the meaning of Lu Yi's words, he knew Lu Yi's temper, and knew that if he was not trusted by Sun Quan, Sun Quan would not send him. He sat down opposite Lu Yi with a big grin, and squeezed his eyes: "Since Bodao is here, there must be good wine to drink, why don't you bring it up and wait for me to get drunk?" ”
Lu Yi nodded with a smile, clapped his hands, and the two entourages sent wine and food, Lu Yi smiled at Gan Pei, who was standing stiffly: "Gan Jun, let's sit down together, drink a little, as long as you don't miss the right thing." ”
Gan Pi glanced at the two of them and sat down angrily. Lu Yi and Sun Shao were drinking wine while chatting, and Gan Pi was silent, glancing outside the cabin from time to time. To be honest, although he is usually very conceited, but now he wants to go to Cao Ying with Sun Shao to challenge, he is really a little weak-hearted, compared to Sun Shao's calmness, he seems very nervous, even compared with Lu Yi, who is calm, he also seems a lot inferior, and the wine has no taste in his mouth, and even has some bitterness.
When the boat was in Jiangxinzhou, the governor Lu Meng had already received the news from Sun Quan, and took Zhou Tai and others to wait outside the dock, his face was even more haggard than the last time he saw him. Although he only fought for one day yesterday, Cao Jun did not take advantage, but Cao Jun's strong attack power still put him under great pressure. He has a bad relationship with Sun Shao, but he is a close friend with Gan Ning, it stands to reason that he should hope that Sun Shao will die in Cao Ying, but from the overall situation, he doesn't want Sun Shao to fold in Cao Ying, in that case, not only Sun Quan will be infamous on his back, but Jiangdong's morale will also be greatly hit.
"Captain Sun, be careful." Lu Meng arched his hand and said sincerely: "Lu Meng wishes the captain success here. ”
"Thank you, General." Sun Shaorong returned the salute, "As a Jiangdong Gancheng, the general should also take care of his body and work hard to add food." ”
Lu Meng was a little moved, and hurriedly thanked him. Sun Shao greeted Zhou Tai and the others again, and then left. Looking at Sun Shao's upright back, Lu Meng was in a very complicated mood, and stood by the river for a long time before returning to the dock.
The smoke of Cao Ying's cooking in Jiangbei curled, and Lu Meng looked at the building boat that was getting farther and farther away, and sighed. Zhou Tai leaned over and said in a rough voice: "General, Cao Jun is eating, and we should also prepare." ”
"Ready." Lu Meng waved his hand and motioned for Zhou Tai and the others to go down to prepare, but he kept standing on the dock wall and was silent for a long time.
When the boat stopped two hundred steps away from the north bank, Chen Hai walked down, glanced at Sun Shao with concern, and said with a smile: "Captain, I will send you to change boats to cross the river." ”
Sun Shao nodded, and got on a fighting ship with Chen Hai, and Lu Yi and Gan Pi also followed. Compared with the building ship, the fighting ship is much smaller, and the three people and three horses are actually full. The loss of wind and waves is small, otherwise Sun Shaozhen is worried that the boat will capsize. More than a dozen soldiers swayed together, and the fighting ship sailed towards Jiangbei against the wind. Cao had already seen this ship in the camp, and more than 200 people were ready to attack, and they were nervous, looking at the ship that was getting closer and closer.
Chen Hai didn't see it, Sun Shao didn't speak, but Gan Pi and Lu Yi were a little nervous, and when the boat reached the shore, a Cao sergeant came over and asked loudly, "Who is coming?" ”
Chen Hai stood at the bow of the boat and exhaled: "Therefore, Sun Shao, the son of the rebellious general and the captain of the general of the chariot cavalry, came to challenge Zhang Liao, please hurry up." ”
The soldier was stunned for a moment, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran back to the general, the general frowned when he heard this, and did not dare to make his own opinion, so he asked Sun Shao and others to wait by the river, and at the same time quickly sent someone to report to Cao Ying.
The prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Cao Ying, the king of Wei, was having breakfast, and his face was very bad. Things have not been going well recently, in the first month, his favorite Wang Cang died of illness on the march, the night before yesterday, the front army was attacked by the Jiangdong army, although only dozens of people died, but a battalion was shocked, morale was frustrated, yesterday stormed for a day, lost two or three thousand soldiers, but trapped in the dock wall on the Jiangxin Continent, did not advance an inch, until now, he has not found a good way to overcome the dock wall, plus the position of the prince has been undecided, so that he has not seen it all night, and he is a little dizzy in the morning, and the head wind seems to have signs of attack, It made him more and more irritable, and even the porridge made of fragrant rice had no taste.
The marching commander Shi Liu Ye hurriedly walked in and bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, someone from Jiangdong has come to challenge." ”
"Challenge?" Cao Ye was stunned for a moment, put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, and looked at Liu Ye curiously. "How many?"
"Alone."
"Alone?" Cao Ying thought about it and felt a little ridiculous, so he couldn't help grinning, "Who is it?" ”
"Sun Ce's son Sun Shao, named and asked General Zhang Wenyuan to challenge him." Liu Ye also felt funny, this kind of single-handedness before the battle was not unprecedented, but most of them were recorded in ancient books, at that time, the samurai were still nobles, and the scale of the war was not large, one or two warriors could decide the outcome of the war, and the war at that time was a victory or defeat, when is it now? A big war with tens of thousands of people at every turn, where will change because of the victory or defeat of one or two people.
"Sun Ce's son?" Cao Ying suddenly became interested, perhaps because of his good mood, the dizziness seemed to have been reduced a little, he stroked his beard and smiled, smiling a little proudly: "It seems that the battle in Hefei has become a nightmare in his Sun Quan's heart." ”
Liu Ye also smiled.
