~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The general wants to duel with Sun Bofu, this is a risk." In Shouchun Palace, after Guo Jia and Xun You went to the palace, the first sentence was this.

Ma Han's face was relaxed: "Don't worry, if the opponent is Gan Xingba, it is still a bit of a threat to me." Sun Bofu, he can't get close to me. ”

It is unknown whether Gan Ning can win against Sun Ce, but Gan Ning's archery skills are definitely above Sun Ce. In the fight general, the only thing that can pose a threat to the horse warrior is the hard bow and strong crossbow. If you can't do archery, even the top generals can't help him. For example, Xu Chu, who is also a fierce general who is not inferior to Dian Wei, if he fights against Ma Han, I am afraid that he will become a hedgehog before he rushes into a hundred steps.

Can Sun Ce compare to Xu Chu? Obviously not, in that case, why not fight a battle that is guaranteed to be won?

Guo Jia was obviously dissatisfied with Ma Han's decision, and said bluntly: "With the respect of a general, it is rude to fight with Sun Bofu; It is unwise to be in the generals, not in physical combat; The general is concerned about the safety of the world, and he should not do such a rude and unwise act. ”

Xun You groaned and groaned, but still expressed the worry in his heart: "You know the general's intention, if you can kill Sun Bofu in a duel, the Wu people's forces will fall apart." If Tai Shi Ci attacks again, Wu Di will be leveled. A duel is no less than the victory of ten thousand armies, but if Sun Bofu is killed on the spot, I am afraid that the Wu people will not give up, and it is very likely that they will immediately unite with Cao Liu and launch a strong attack on our army. General, a gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall. And the mourning soldiers are terrible. ”

Ma Han smiled: "Who said that I would kill Sun Bofu on the spot?" ”

Guo Jia and Xun You looked at each other, if they didn't kill Sun Ce, what was the point of this duel? Could it be that the lord wants to subdue Sun Ce by force, just as he did when he subjugated Gan Ning? How is this possible? If Sun Ce is an ordinary general, it would be fine, but he is a prince, and there are various interests entangled behind him, no matter how convinced he is, he will never bow down to him.

"I already know the meaning of Guo Jun and Xun Jun, I know in my heart, this is not an ordinary matchup. It is related to the victory or defeat of the southern expedition, and after this battle, the pattern of the world will change greatly. Ma Han's expression was stern, and he had obviously thought it through.

The lord's words have been said to this part, obviously confident, and obviously have concerns, so he can't speak directly. Although Guo and Xun were still difficult to let go, they were helpless, so they had to retire.

Guo and Xun Ershi went. Gan Ning is here.

"General, why do you fight for me, I am willing to defeat the little overlord with the double halberd in my hand."

"You might win. Maybe ...... defeated."

Gan Ning said angrily: "Fighting alone, winning is the most glorious, and there is no regret in defeat." ”

Ma Han looked at Gan Ning and said in a deep voice: "But I want it." It's not just about winning. ”

Heads-up duel, winning is already the best, what more do you want? Gan Ning was stunned.

Ma Han asked again at this time: "I am fighting with Sun Bofu." What do Xingba think the odds are? ”

"Sun Lang will be defeated!" Gan Ning replied without hesitation, Ma Han's ability, he had personally learned it. To tell the truth, having lived for nearly thirty years, he has fought with people and has never been defeated so badly, Gan Ning has no doubt about Ma Han's strong combat power.

"That's it." Ma Han patted Gan Ning on the shoulder, "Wait and see, this duel will definitely change the pattern of Jiangdong and even the whole world." ”

Gan Ning was speechless, it was just a personal duel, and it had something to do with the general trend of the world. It was clear that this was beyond his ability to even understand. Well, such a burden, he Gan Ning really can't afford it, so it's better to hand it over to the omnipotent lord.

Finally sent away two groups of people, and the horse was pacing back and forth with his hands in his hands, and the envy was surging.

Replacing Gan Ning and accepting Sun Ce's challenge was by no means a whim, but a flash of inspiration after careful consideration.

If Cao Cao in history, in the year when Sun Ce was assassinated, went on a large-scale southern expedition, would there still be three kingdoms in the world? The answer is absolutely no. Eight years after Sun Quan ascended the throne, until the eve of the Battle of Chibi, he was still unsure of his opposition to Cao Cao and the Jiangdong ministers, and they rushed to surrender. It is conceivable that if Sun Ce died eight years ago, and the dragons in Jiangdong had no leader, what would have been the situation when Sun Quan first took the throne. Compared with Sun Quannai's brother, he wants to be looked forward to by others, he is not expected to be strategic, he wants to be brave but not brave, and he wants prestige without prestige...... At this moment, but when the Sun Wu Group is the weakest, as long as there is a strong external force, it will definitely fall apart.

If Cao Cao did not have the trouble of the north at that time and immediately raised troops to the south, there was no need to assume, almost a battle could be drawn, and the world would be unified without any suspense.

Ma Han is now a strengthened version of Cao Cao, and his situation at this time is the pattern of Cao Cao in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, or even stronger, at least he has nothing to do with the trouble of the West for the time being. It can be said that at this time, as long as Sun Ce died unexpectedly and Jiangdong was in chaos, the army of Tai Shici, who had already been waiting for him, would move south, and Sun Wu's forces would definitely be finished.

A duel, how many battles can be fought less, how many people can die, even if it is risky, it is worth it!

Sun Ce must die, and besides, it's now!

However, history turned a fork, and the deadliest crossbowman among the three assassins of Xu Gong was given a second by an unexpected Ling Tong. Sun Ce didn't even lose a single hair, what should I do?

If Sun Ce hadn't died, the entire history would have undergone drastic changes, not to mention Jiangdong, even if it was Liu Biao in Jingzhou, he would have to be swallowed up sooner or later.

Since the three assassins of Xu Gong failed to complete their historical mission, then, let me take overβ€”this is the thought that instantly popped into Ma Han's mind when he heard Sun Ce's challenge.

Ma Han and Sun Ce's fighting generals are different from Lu Bu's three battles that year. The duel with Lu Bu was not only to save the 3,000 sailors, but also to fulfill his personal wishes, and personal reasons accounted for an absolute proportion. The battle with Sun Ce was for the southern expedition, for Jiangdong, for the south, and for the world.

In this world, there are always some people whose life and death are enough to profoundly affect history, such as Liu Xie, such as Ma Han, such as Cao Cao, such as Sun Ce......

As the governor of the tent, Chen Zhi stood solemnly under the tent, looking at the lord pacing back and forth, his brows slightly locked, and he couldn't help but say: "Is the lord worried that after the heavy damage to Sun Bofu, the Wu people will be in trouble?" ”

Ma Han stopped, turned his head to look at Chen Dao, his eyes flashed: "No, I'm worried about Cao Cao." If he didn't seize this opportunity to do something, it wouldn't be Cao Cao. ”

……

"The two tigers are competing, the opportunity is rare, this heaven will help me, what is the best plan for you?" In the Xiquyang Temple, Cao Cao's eyes were wide, and he looked at the military generals kneeling on both sides one by one.

In fact, Cao Cao reminds that anyone knows that this is a rare opportunity.

When Sun Ce initially proposed to fight Gan Ning, Cao Cao was very anxious. These two people fight, if Gan Ning is defeated, Ma Han will only lose a general, and he will not be able to hurt his muscles and bones. But if Sun Ce is defeated, this will definitely be a fatal blow to Cao Cao's joint anti-horse plan.

However, when Ma Han and Sun Ce fought, it was completely different. If Ma Han had been wounded in this battleβ€”yes, he would not have dared to hope to be killed, as long as he was wounded, the southern expedition would have been aborted.

"Sun Bofu lives or dies, Ma Jinglong must be defeated." Cao Cao said categorically, "Whoever has a good strategy can offer it, and the merit of offering the policy is nothing less than the first merit." ”

There was silence in the hall, everyone was using their brains, and ideas came out one by one, but many of them shook their heads and vetoed them without even saying anything.

Cao Cao's meaning is very clear, that is, he wants to think of plotting against Ma Han, but the question is that Ma Han is so easy to plot? If they can plot if they want to, then what are they doing here? Hurry up and get rid of the horseman, and hug Lao Cao Shangluo to be a general.

After a long time, Sima Han Hao of the Dianjun came up with an idea: "Is it to buy the groom and drug the red rabbit horse?" ”

Before Cao Cao could speak, Xiahou Yuan shook his head first: "Ma Jinglong's mount, whether it is Chitu or Tawu, the horsemen used are all from the White Wolf Camp and the Hange Department of Liaodong. What is the place of the White Wolf Camp and the Han Ge Department, Yuan Hei may not know, and Yuan is not very clear, but according to Xun Beijia's old letter from Luoyang, these two places are the special training places of the Dragon Wolf Army. Even the unruly Xiliang soldiers and white wave thieves were sent to Liaodong for half a year, and after they came back, they followed one by one with an iron heart...... Yuan is afraid that he will not be able to buy it, but it will cause the incident to leak. ”

Han Hao was speechless, he just changed his mind and proposed a proposal, and he didn't have much hope in itself.

Cao Cao was willing to be the first to say: "Although the proposal of the Yuan heir may not be feasible, it is a good idea, since it is impossible to start with it, then start with the things around him." ”

"Things around me ......" Although he was young, Cao Pi, who had already served as the governor of Cao Cao's account, muttered to himself, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Immediately stood up and bowed to his father, "Pi has a plan, maybe you can destroy the magic bow that Ma Jinglong relied on, cut off his sharp weapon, and cause him to be defeated, but the lord needs to give up one thing." ”

Cao Cao has long had a strict order, there is no father and son in the military camp, only master and slave, so Cao Ang or Cao Pi are all called lords and lords in public.

Cao Cao was very interested when he heard this: "Oh, tell me what it is?" ”

Cao Pi paused word by word: "Seven, star, knife." ”

The seven-star knife was obtained by Cao Cao from Wang Yun back then, and he wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo with it, but in the end he didn't dare to do it, but instead pasted the treasure knife he offered. Dong Zhuo gave this knife to Lu Bu, a few years later, Lu Bu was surrounded in Xiapi, surrendered in white clothes, and offered a horse to serve the knife, so the knife returned to Cao Cao's hands.

Because this knife has engraved Cao Cao for an unforgettable period of time, and made him famous, it has an extraordinary meaning for him, so he often wears it on his body, and cherishes it very much. At this moment, when he heard that the second son proposed to give up this knife, with Cao Cao's generosity, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment - however, he only hesitated, and then decisively took off the treasure knife and handed it forward: "Give!" With this treasure knife, exchange for the bow of the Demon Pupil, it's worth it! ”

Cao Pi was as calm as Heng took the seven-star treasure knife, stood on the side, and glanced at the majestic Xu Chu, and said, "Also, Zhong Kang is afraid that he will inevitably be beaten." ”

Xu Chu didn't care, stretched out his furry fan hand, and patted his thick chest: "Just come!" ”

Cao Pi smiled casually: "In this way, things are harmonious." (To be continued......)
