"Hiss~~" Zhou Yu was discussing with Gan Ning about Cao Cao's army's southern expedition, not wanting Zhou Yu's mount to be suddenly frightened, he hissed, jumped up with his front hooves, and kept retreating.

"Huh~~" Zhou Yu grabbed the reins tightly, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, controlled left and right, and spent a lot of effort to quiet the horse. But the war horse was unwilling to take a step forward anyway.

"This horse is usually very docile, I wonder what happened today?" Zhou Yu was puzzled.

"The war horse is frightened for no reason, and there will be enemy soldiers ahead!" Ganning deserves to be the first lake. As he spoke, he had already drawn his sword, "The whole army is on alert, move forward slowly, and the sentry will come forward to investigate!" ”

"Yes!" The sentinels led the way and galloped away, a narrow valley with rugged trails and dense forests. If this was not the hinterland of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu would not dare to march so laxly. It's too easy to set up ambushes in such a place.

"Ah~~" There was a scream, and the sentinel who was investigating in the distance fell off his horse.

"There is an ambush! Crossbowmen prepare! Gan Ning drove his horse forward and blocked in front of Zhou Yu. As a lieutenant, it is my duty to protect the safety of the manager. According to Jiangdong's military law, the main general will be defeated, and both left and right will be killed. So Zhou Yu can't be fine. Otherwise, not only will the lives of these guards be difficult to protect, but even Gan Ning will be punished by military law.

After a period of chaos in the valley just now, it returned to tranquility, and only the panting sound of Wu Jun's war horse could be heard. Everything was terrible quiet. But Zhou Yu knew that this was the calm before the storm. This eerie tranquility is even more creepy.

"Da~Da~Da" The crisp sound of horses' hooves in front of me spread far away in the valley. A group of black-clothed cavalry appeared on the Taniguchi Mountain Road, five hundred paces away from Wu's army. Armed with long swords, they drove their horses slowly, unhurriedly. Blocked the valley mouth.

"The Grand Duke, there are also people in the back!" A soldier of the Wu army exclaimed. Zhou Yu turned his head and stared at him in shock. It's over, and I'm making dumplings.

Zhou Yu thought about it, drove the horse forward, clasped his fists on the horse, and said: "Friends on the other side, the road is on one side of the sky, what is the reason for stopping me and others today?" ”

"Governor Zhou, we have no grievances in the near future, and no enmity in the near future. It's just doing what you're told! Blame you for not knowing the times! I can't blame others! Rest assured! I'll leave you a whole corpse later! The leading man in black was quite arrogant.

"Humph! Act recklessly! Zhou Yu sneered and waved his hand back, "Give it to me!" ”

In order to rush back to Chaisang as soon as possible, Zhou Yu brought his attendants all cavalry this time. Although the cavalry of the Wu army is not as elite as the cavalry of the Cao army, they are all veterans of a hundred battles, and they are not afraid of death. So Zhou Yu didn't take this gang of robbers in his eyes. Zhou Yu didn't pay attention to the conversation just now, and only regarded this group of guys as ordinary mountain bandits. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and it was not uncommon for mountain bandits to fall into the grass like this.

When the soldiers of the Wu army heard the order, they slapped their horses and rushed over with the black-clothed cavalry in front of them. Gan Ning took the lead, and the momentum was unstoppable. However, the cavalry on the opposite side had no intention of charging. This made Zhou Yu on the horse a little inexplicable in his eyes.

"Poof! Poof! Poof! "Crossbow arrows rained down, and in an instant, the Wu army's guards were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and they all fell in a pool of blood. Zhou Yu never thought that these people would have crossbows. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wars and chaos occurred frequently in the world, and ordinary families and even ordinary people would buy some weapons in order to protect themselves. Therefore, knives, swords, ge, spears and even war horses are not uncommon among the people. However, the crossbow was different, because it was extremely complex to make and the material requirements were extremely high, even the families at that time were able to create crossbow arrows, let alone ordinary bandits. These people would have such sophisticated crossbow arrows, and they would never be ordinary bandits.

Zhou Yu now understood that these people should be Cao Jun's assassins.

Zhou Yu's own soldiers were all killed, only Zhou Yu and Gan Ning were left, Gan Ning took the lead in the charge just now, and should have been the first to die, but this guy reacted very quickly, seeing Cao Jun take out the crossbow and knew that it was not good, one turned sideways, hugged the neck of the war horse, and hung his body on the side of the war horse, which escaped the catastrophe.

"Dadu Governor, these people's crossbows are extremely sophisticated, not like Jiangdong's craftsmanship, is it ......?"

"It's Cao Jun!" Zhou Yu is now very sure of his judgment.

Zhou Yu slapped his horse forward, pointed at the black-clothed commander and reprimanded angrily: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng is famous, I didn't expect to use such a subordinate method, aren't you afraid of the heroes of the world laughing?" ”

"Hahaha, soldier, treacherous! Zhou Dudu, who is familiar with the art of war, would actually say such childish words today! The prime minister really thinks highly of you! ”

"So you are really Cao Jun's people?" The words of the man in black confirmed Zhou Yu's conjecture.

"You know so much! Give it to me! Quick! The black-clothed leader waved his hand, and the cavalry of the Cao army slowly moved forward, thinking about Zhou and Gan approaching step by step.

"Heavens! I didn't expect that I, Zhou Gongjin, would die here today! The ambition is unrewarded, I am unwilling! Zhou Yu sighed.

"Kill~~" The distance between Cao Jun and Zhou Yu was only a hundred steps away. Zhou Yu and Gan Ning held the blade in their hands tightly, trying to make the last move.

"Poof!" At this moment, a crossbow arrow pierced the sky, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky, piercing the chest of the Cao army cavalry closest to Zhou Yu. The sharp blade posture raised by the Cao cavalry froze for a second, and then fell off the horse.

"Kill~~" Outside the valley, the shouting of killing shook the sky, and I saw a group of people and horses coming out of the mountain road at the mouth of the valley, and the leader was actually a child who looked only six or seven years old, and a pair of small short legs could barely clamp the horse's belly. Pulling the reins in one hand and holding a crossbow in the other. It seems that this is the person who shot the arrow just now. Needless to say, everyone also knows that this is Young Master Zhuge who rushed to rescue Zhou Yu.

"Stop them!" The leader of the Cao army hurriedly commanded the guards to stop this group of guys who suddenly came out to make trouble.

The cavalry of the Cao army turned their horses and greeted Young Master Zhuge . The young master sneered slightly, and actually put away the crossbow arrows. Whipping the horse's rump violently, the war horse was in pain, neighed, and jumped up with both hooves, and galloped upward. The cavalry formation of the Cao army was pierced through the heart. Everywhere they passed, Cao's cavalry fell off their horses one after another. Cao Jun, who was watching the back, was dumbfounded, damn it! What's going on, I didn't see this kid make a move! Why are all our people dead? Where did they know that Young Master Zhuge Zhuge 's flying needle stunt was the most suitable for killing enemies at close range. When Young Master Zhuge rushed into Cao's army just now, with a wave of his left hand, the steel needles scattered, and there was no false hair.

Young Master Zhuge was unstoppable, and the soldiers of the Wu army behind him followed with long swords and slashed all the way behind. Cao's army was defeated one after another. Seeing that there was nothing to do, the leader of the Cao army shouted: "Withdraw!" When Cao Jun heard this, he turned his horse and followed the leader.

The cavalry of the Wu army still had to chase after them, but they were stopped by Young Master Zhuge . The truth that poor people should not chase after them, Young Master Zhuge still understands.

Zhou Yu originally thought that he was going to die this time, but he didn't expect to suddenly kill reinforcements halfway. Seeing that the reinforcements were all wearing Wu Jun's military uniforms, he knew that Lu Dao was his own people, and his heart was at ease.

Young Master Zhuge hit his horse forward, according to Zhou Yu was still more than a dozen steps away, and the very little adult clasped his fists on the horse and saluted and said: "I heard that the Metropolitan Governor is in trouble, and I came to the rescue on the order of Uncle Lu Su!" ”

"Thank you little boy for the rescue! I don't know who the little boy is? "Zhou Yu has no impression of Young Master Zhuge , although he had a relationship on the boat last time, but who would pay attention to a six- or seven-year-old kid who followed Father Zhuge ?

Young Master Zhuge is not happy! You didn't remember the last time you saw it. Isn't this a blatant disregard for Lao Tzu? However, after all, he is the governor of Jiangdong, so he must be polite, and replied with a smile: "The son of Zhuge Kongming in Xiajingzhou, Zhuge Zhan!" Last time, I was rescued by the Metropolitan Governor, and I said goodbye in a hurry, and I haven't thanked you yet! ”

"Huh? It turned out to be Mr. Wolong's son! It's really rare to have such a ability at such a young age! The future is limitless! Zhou Yu looked appreciative.

Young Master Zhuge didn't have time to talk nonsense here with this guy, so he reminded: "Metropolitan Governor, you can't stay in the land of right and wrong for a long time!" If Cao Jun goes and returns, something bad will happen! It's better to get out of here quickly! ”

"That's what the little boy said!" Zhou Yu nodded in agreement.
