Li Ran said with a smile: "A general of a defeated army also dares to speak bravely." I want to see what you use to take my head. After speaking, he danced the nine-section whip and hit Zhao Meng. Zhao Meng was not afraid at all, held his spear, and ushered in the horse. The two fought, and Zhao Meng tried to break through several times, but he couldn't do it and was always repulsed. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "This guy really has some ability, it seems that I have to fight bravely to have hope." ”

Zhao Meng shook his spirit and attacked with all his might, but every time he broke through, he was hit by Li Ranfeishi and had to withdraw. That Li Ran can only use flying stones, better than he can use nine-section whips, at least five stones can be sent out at one time, even if he can block two, three more will hit, and he is not exactly beating people, but also playing a mount, the mount is frightened, naturally there is a chaos, and the person on horseback can't play well.

After more than 100 rounds of fighting, Zhao Meng was forced to retreat by the rocks and retreated gloomily. Before, Chen Youzhi was defeated, then Zhang Yuan was defeated, and now Zhao Meng is also defeated, none of the three most powerful people in the army can defeat Li Ran, the morale of the army is injured, and rumors are spreading, saying that Zu Zhao is ready to retire.

Zu Zhao said: "If we are defeated this time, the court will condemn us, one says that we are not good for the thief, and the other is that we are greedy for merit or Yuan Shaojun will be the thief, and even if the court does not punish him heavily, Liaodong will not be able to live well." There is a way that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, once Liaoxi misses, Liaodong will have an accident sooner or later, so we must not lose this battle. ”

"But Li Ran alone is enough to resist our three generals, what should we do?" Some strategists said with some discouragement.

Zhang Yuan said: "If the two of them are attacked, they are not afraid of Li Ran, but the generals of the two armies intersect, if we have two people, Li Ran knows that the enemy is not us, and he will also shoot the generals around him to attack." I saw that there were two people around him, looking strange, both of them were using long knives, and I saw that their ability must be not small. ”

Chen Youzhi nodded and said: "You are right, I have fought with one of them before, and there is still no winner or loser in two hundred rounds, so you can't underestimate them." ”

Zu Zhao asked, "Do you have any good way to crack Li Ran's nine-section whip?" It is a soft weapon, the nemesis of a short weapon, he can make flying stones, and he can restrain us. You have to find someone who also uses the secret weapon to fight him in order to win. But there are no such people in our army. ”

Chen Youzhi suddenly said: "When the general said this, I suddenly thought of someone. She is proficient in a variety of weapons, especially the meteor hammer, which is rarely matched, and she has a good secret weapon, it is said that she has defeated five hundred bandits with the power of one person before. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and asked who it was and where it was now. If there is really such a person, if he can invite help, he can really defeat Li Ran, as long as Li Ran fails. Even if the Yellow Turban Army has 50,000 people, it can definitely be defeated, after all, they are a temporary gathering of scattered soldiers, although the momentum is huge, but there is no military discipline at all, no formation strategy, once the main general is defeated, they will have no psychological support, to defeat them, it will be very easy.

Everyone heard that someone was also a master of using hidden weapons, and they couldn't help but be interested, and they all listened carefully to what Chen Youzhi said, after all, they are all masters of using hidden weapons, and they all know when they should shoot to hit the enemy, so if the two of them fight, then it really depends on the strength.

Chen Youzhi said: "She is the daughter of Gongsun Wang, the county guard of Xuansu County. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone was taken aback, and Zu Zhao asked, "Gongsun Wang or the daughter of Gongsun Xiaoban?" You mean a woman? What kind of weapon or hidden weapon might she be proficient in? Military, there is no joke in the army, you don't have to joke. ”

Chen Youzhi said with a smile: "General, I don't dare to joke at this time, don't underestimate your woman, Feng Luoxue next to you, but a first-class martial arts master, if it is about singles ability, not many people will be her opponents." ”

When it comes to Feng Luoxue, Zu Zhao couldn't help laughing, he was confused by the ancient woman who was not talented and virtuous for a while, and now that he thinks about it, Feng Luoxue next to him is a first-class master, and Cai Wenji is a very representative female literati in the Three Kingdoms period, that is, Quan Zhiyu who is far away in Silla, and she is a queen who is dedicated to the people, it seems that all the women around her are not simple. As for the Gongsun Xiaoban, he hadn't heard of it.

Zhang Yuan said: "However, a woman, maybe she can play at home and defeat several family members, but this is the battlefield, and if she is not careful, she will have to worry about her name." And he's the daughter of the prince of the county, can we invite her? Even if she was willing to help, I was afraid that Gongsun would not agree. ”

Zu Zhao nodded and said, "What you said is not unreasonable. Now let's not talk about whether her strength can beat Li Ran, that is, whether she can come, whether she will come, whether she will come, whether she will come, whether she can ”

Chen Youzhi was full of confidence, and said: "Her strength should not be underestimated, I heard that he fought five hundred bandits alone, I don't know if Lu Dao is true or false, but she defeated Gongsun Wang or the personal guard commander and Xuansu County Governor Yu Ban, this is an indisputable fact." ”

As soon as Zu Zhao heard the name Yu Ban, he immediately trembled, this is a famous general of the Wei State, and later he was humiliated by Cao Cao because he lost to him, he turned out to be the personal guard commander of Gongsun Wang or , this is really exciting news. The most important person, Gongsun Xiaoban, was able to defeat Yu Ban, and put aside Yu Ban to deliberately let her make a few moves, and there was always some strength.

Zu Zhao asked, "Is Yu Ban still the personal guard commander of King Gongsun or now?" ”

Zhang Yuan had just come back from Xuansu County before, and he had some understanding of Xuanwu County's request, and the governor there was Yu Ban, who also knew this, and said: "That's right, Yu Ban is indeed the governor of Xuansu County, and I have met him, a very bold person." General, do you know him? ”

Zu Zhao said: "I can't say I know, I know him, he doesn't know me." Or maybe he knows me too, hahaha. Zu Zhao said to himself with amusement, and said seriously: "If you can invite Gongsun Xiaoban to help, then it would be great." ”

Chen Youzhi said: "General, you have a good relationship with Miss Cai Wenji, didn't she tell you that she had some dealings with King Gongsun or his family before?" ”

Zu Zhao said: "I really don't know the way. Strategist, how do you know these things? Zu Zhao just asked so casually, but it immediately made Chen Youzhi a little embarrassed, because he knew that the relationship between Cai Wenji and Zu Zhao was not as simple as the intersection of ordinary literati, and now Zu Zhao asked this, as if he suspected that he had any excessive contact with Cai Wenji.

Zu Zhao saw that Chen Youzhi had an unspeakable look on his face, and knew that there was something wrong with the way he asked, and then immediately changed his words: "Ahem, since this is the case, it is very good, does the military mean to let Cai Wenji go to Xuansu County to ask Gongsun Xiaoban for help?" ”

Chen Youzhi said: "Yes, as long as Cai Wenji goes, Gongsun Xiaoban will definitely be able to help." I heard that the two of them used to have a relationship, but one loves literature and the other loves martial arts, and they all have no contact after they separated. ”

This time, he deliberately added a "I heard", so that Zu Zhao would never ask him who he listened to. Zu Zhao naturally noticed the change in Chen Youzhi's speech, and couldn't help but smile gloomily in his heart, his casual and curious question made his subordinates so nervous, it seems that this ancient time is really not easy to mix, fortunately, he doesn't have to look at people's faces much, otherwise he must often say the wrong thing.

In order to defeat Li Ranjun of the Yellow Turban Thieves as soon as possible, Zu Zhao immediately repaired a book, and sent it back to Liaodong day and night to hand it over to Cai Wenji, and then asked her to go to Xuansu County to invite Gongsun Xiaoban. Cai Wenji knew that Dao Zu Zhao was in trouble in Liaoxi, and her heart was also very nervous, and now she knew that Gongsun Xiaoban could help, she immediately went to Xuansu County to find Gongsun Xiaoban, first analyzed the world to her, said the various scourges of the Yellow Turban thieves, and then praised Zu Zhao wantonly, and only then said that Zu Zhao encountered a strong enemy in Liaoxi, only she could help, and hoped that she could help.

Gongsun Xiaoban had heard of Zu Zhao a long time ago, especially his strange tea, mare's milk wine, and canned apples, but she had forced her father to try her best to get it for her, and her biggest wish in her heart was to see Zu Zhao, if she could follow him, it would be great. But she is a girl's family, and she is also the daughter of a famous family, if she goes to find Zu Zhao by herself, it will be too unreasonable, but she has never been able to find a good excuse to see Zu Zhao.

Now, Zu Zhao actually asked Cai Wenji to ask her for help, not to mention how happy Gongsun Xiaoban's heart was, Cai Wenji said that when Zu Zhao needed help, she agreed without thinking about it. Later, Gongsun Xiao Demishen mysteriously asked his father for instructions, saying that he was going to Liaoxi to help suppress bandits, but she did not mention that it was Zu Zhao. But her father smiled and said, "Your bandit suppression is fake, and it is true that you want to see Zu Zhao, right?" ”

"Daddy, how can you say that about your daughter, I'm really going to suppress bandits, the yellow turban is making trouble, as a big man's son, everyone has the obligation to go. Although I am a daughter, but I have never regarded myself as a woman, didn't you raise me as a daughter, I want to learn martial arts, you immediately find someone to teach me, I don't like embroidery, you immediately sent someone to take away all those needles and threads. Daddy, I know that you love me the most, so let my daughter go, okay? Gongsun Xiaoban began to be coquettish.

King Gongsun or Ha Luha smiled and said, "If you are going to suppress bandits, I will not let you go, if you are going to see Zu Zhao, I will let you go." ”

Gongsun Xiaoban's face turned red and said, "What Zuzhao, I don't know this person." Daddy, you have an ancestor, you want to see him, right? ”

Gongsun Wang or said: "I really want to meet him, that is a person who is both civil and military, his skills are to lead troops on the battlefield, and he can win thousands of miles under the camp tent, it is really a rare talent, I really want him to come to my Xuansu County to be my son-in-law." ”

"Son-in-law? Do you want to marry me to someone I don't even know? Gongsun Xiaoban immediately blushed, but he still quibbled with his father.

"He is so powerful, he can command 500 people to defeat 50,000 people, do you think he is qualified to be my son-in-law?" King Gongsun said with a smile.

"Is the ancestor you said really that powerful?" Listening to his father's words, Gongsun Xiaoban's heart was even more ordinary, and he couldn't wait to leave his father now and go to Zu Zhao to see what kind of person he was.

"He's really that good. You say, are you going to fight the bandit or are you going to see him? King Gongsun asked with a smile.

Gongsun Xiaoban twisted his head and said, "Okay, I'm just going to see him, I'll leave now, Daddy, take care, my daughter will come back after killing the Yellow Turban thieves." ”

King Gongsun may shout loudly, "Come back with my son-in-law." After saying that, Ha Lu Ha laughed, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he first saw Zu Zhao, the first time they met, he felt that Zu Zhao had a kingly temperament, and he was going to become the overlord in the future, so he has been paying attention to Zu Zhao's movements, with the further expansion of Zu Zhao's power, Gongsun Wang may have strengthened his belief, and Zu Zhao will become a great weapon in the future. He has only one daughter, Gongsun Xiaoban, and he has been thinking that if Zu Zhao can marry his daughter, it will be even better.

However, this time his daughter went to Liaoxi, he was still a little worried, and after taking her out of the city, he immediately asked Yu Ban to follow with five thousand elite soldiers. Cai Wenji and Gongsun Wang may have just left the city gate, and an army from behind them followed. Cai Wenji exclaimed: "It can't be that my uncle regrets chasing you back, right?" ”

King Gongsun said: "Not necessarily, I want to leave, he must not be able to keep me." ”

As soon as the army arrived, it turned out that it was Yu Ban who took the lead, and he said that Lord Taishou was worried about her comfort, so he asked him to take 5,000 elite soldiers to protect her. Gongsun Xiaoban was surprised and grateful, glanced at the city a few times, and then rode away.

King Gongsun watched his daughter leave from the city tower, and he couldn't tell whether he was lost or happy, after all, his daughter was going to the battlefield, a girl and a child's home, he was naturally worried; And when he thought that Zu Zhao personally asked for help, King Gongsun was happy in his heart. He even thought against the grain, if Zu Zhao became the emperor in the future, then his daughter might be able to be the queen, and he would become the emperor in the world.

Cai Wenji took Gongsun Xiaoban and Yu Ban's army, day and night, which lasted five days, and finally arrived in Liaoxi County. When Zu Zhaowen heard that Sun Xiaoban came, he immediately led the army to meet him fifty miles away. Gongsun Xiaoban saw that Zu Zhao personally went to such a far place to pick him up, and he was already excited, and when he saw Zu Zhao's talent, he was majestic and majestic, and his heart was already intoxicated, and he actually forgot to salute, and under the reminder of Yu Ban, she hurriedly saluted Zu Zhao.

Zu Zhao was overjoyed in his heart, took them back to the camp, and learned that it was Yu Ban who escorted Gongsun Xiaoban, and his heart was even more ecstatic, looking at Yu Ban's majestic face, he looked like a general, and now that he has come here, he naturally has to find a way to keep him, how can he be thrown into Cao Cao's arms. Yu Ban saw Zu Zhao, saw that Zu Zhao was very polite to himself, and he was also happy in his heart, and he also had a good conversation with Zu Zhao, and he also had the heart to stay by Zu Zhao's side.

"General Zu, I'll go to the battle right now and capture the Yellow Turban thief, okay?" Gongsun Xiaoban said.

Zu Zhao said: "No, the thieves are very fierce, you travel day and night, the boat and car are tired, even the iron man should be tired, you can't fight today, take tomorrow and go again, when you defeat the thief, I will immediately command the army to attack the county town and recapture Liaoxi." ”

Gongsun Xiaoban saw that Zu Zhao was speaking so imposingly and caring about himself so much, and he was a nymphomaniac in his heart. Her face turned red, and she turned around and didn't dare to look at Zu Zhao. Cai Wenji knew Gongsun Xiaoban's thoughts, pursed her lips and smiled, saying that she was going to take her outside to familiarize herself with the situation. When Gongsun Xiaoban heard this, he immediately retired to Zu Zhao and followed Cai Wenji out of the city.

Gongsun Xiaoban's shy appearance Bai Zhujun saw it in his eyes, and after she went out, Zhang Pre said with a smile: "General, this Gongsun Xiaoban looks like you?" ”

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he immediately reprimanded: "Don't be rude, how can you speak to the general like this." ”

Zu Zhao said with a smile: "They are all their own brothers, there are no outsiders here, and they are not in a big war or agreeing on military strategies, how good it is to talk and laugh, there is no need to make the atmosphere so depressing." I also think what Zhang said is good, maybe she really likes me. Now let's talk about utilitarianism, if Gongsun Xiaoban marries me, then I think Liaodong County will have a relationship with Youzhou's largest power group, and then we will be Youzhou's biggest power group, isn't it good? After saying that, he laughed.

Although Zu Zhao's words seem to be joking with the generals, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed right, King Gongsun or the strongest force in Youzhou can win him over, which is very beneficial for controlling the entire Youzhou and even the entire Liaodong in the troubled times in the future. All of them know that the Han Dynasty will be destroyed sooner or later, and now it is in name only, the princes are divided, and the local Taishou ostensibly obeys the orders of the court, but in fact they are all developing their own power, but they were early in Luoyang as an official, and there is no great power.

Yu Ban listened to Zu Zhao's words and said very seriously: "General Zu, in fact, Miss Gongsun really likes you. When he was practicing with me at home, you were the one he mentioned the most, and every time I asked about you, she was very helpful to listen to. Moreover, the county guard also values you very much, and when this Liaoxi is recovered, maybe you can go to Xuansu County for a while, maybe it can really be a big thing. He and Zu Zhao hit it off at first sight, and they hated each other, and now they are telling this truth.

Zu Zhao said with a smile: "When the Yellow Turban Thief is destroyed, I will personally send Miss Gongsun back, and by the way, I will go with the gift of proposing." ”

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but laugh. The soldiers outside heard the laughter of the generals inside, and were happy that they had planned some strategy to break the enemy, and they couldn't help but whisper, and they were also in a lot of spirits, and they were ready to do a big job.
