Chapter 17: The Tiger and Par Thunder and the Alliance
Rustle Rustle –
Half a year has passed, and it is the winter solstice. The breeze blows, bringing a chill.
'Click....'
With the sound of horses' hooves, Cao Ren rode a horse and led a horse as soon as he came to the river, and saw Zhao Zhou lying sideways on a big stone, one leg crossed and one knee forward, his hands stretched out, a spit, and a breath like a tiger snoring when he was asleep, breathing for a long time.
Chang Ruo wears a layer of tiger skin, and he really looks like a big tiger that is hunting and resting by the river.
Not only that, Cao Ren dismounted and walked, getting closer, as if he saw Zhao Zhou's body vibrating slightly, really like a tiger, and there was a faint muffled thunder of 'uh-huh' between breaths.
"What is the gentleman doing? How is it the same as a tiger snoring? Cao Ren was ten zhang away from Zhao Zhou, he couldn't see clearly, and he didn't know if he had heard it wrong, but he felt that Zhao Zhou was lying down like a big tiger, so he thought about it.
Just thinking, thinking, he didn't know what came to mind, making him laugh himself.
"Mr. Mo Cheng is a tiger spirit? Otherwise, how can you be exactly like a tiger, running on the river side of the mountain forest every day..."
Thinking of this, Cao Ren shook his head with a smile, but he didn't make a sound, for fear of disturbing Zhao Zhou's practice, but instead stood aside with his hands tied, acting as a temporary guard, looking around left and right.
However, Cao Ren was not wrong.
Zhao Zhou is definitely not a tiger spirit, but he can use the breathing method of a tiger to simulate the 'Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound!'
"In the process of underwater training for half a year, my heart and intestines have been trained like my stomach, and I can use the inertia of blood circulation to resonate and strengthen other internal organs through slight vibration. Now, I just don't know if I can step into Huajin when all the internal organs are strengthened. ”
Zhao Zhou stretched the tiger play posture while thinking about some questions, seeing Cao Ren coming, his breathing did not change at all, it was still so long, ready to finish this set of tiger play, or sleep this night, and then ready to ask him what was wrong.
But in other words.
Since Zhao Zhou can make the thunder sound of tigers and leopards, whether it is eating, sleeping, thinking about problems, or interrupting tiger play, as long as he is breathing, then he is constantly strengthening his internal organs!
It's much better than the 'Gollum' eye-catching toad fishing.
It's just that when sleeping, or eating and sitting, combined with the tiger play, the body is like doing sit-ups, curled up, the internal organs will be closer together than usual, and the trembling effect of the tiger and leopard thunder sound will be a little better.
But when he punches or walks, his muscles and bones stretch, and his lungs and intestines vibrate unevenly, and the effect will be a little worse.
It seems that there is a bit of a dilemma to choose, practicing boxing and practicing strength are indispensable.
But now that the winter solstice is coming, the weather is too cold, and he has not gone into the water to exercise, because the cold river water will reduce the activity of cells, and it is difficult to maximize the effect of exercise. He only goes to the water to practice when it is a little warmer at noon.
Usually on the shore simulates the 'thunder sound of tigers and leopards'.
It can be regarded as God helping him arrange it, so that he doesn't have to worry about what to cultivate.
"Whew-"
Nearly a dozen minutes passed.
Zhao Zhou didn't let Cao Ren wait for a long time, and finally stretched out a tiger play, just like getting up and stretching his waist, he took a long breath, spit out all the excess breath in his lungs, and prepared to replace it with a new one.
It's just that the winter solstice is coming, and when Cao Ren saw Zhao Zhou get up, he was about to speak, when he saw Zhao Zhou exhale this breath, which condensed into a thumb-thick cloud arrow, shot out a zhang away, and when it touched the ground, it suddenly dispersed, forming a 'circle' and drifting away.
"Swallow the clouds and spit out the fog!"
With a shout, Cao Ren's face was suddenly startled, and he praised him very distractedly: "Sir, you are about to become an immortal!"
"Immortals?"
Zhao Zhou laughed, as if he was accustomed to Cao Ren's pursuit, jumped down from the stone, looked at him and said, "You have said the word immortal seventeen times in the past six months, and you have said this sentence seven or eight times." Have you given less wine for half a year, and the scribes have not taught you new words? ”
As he spoke, Zhao Zhou saw Cao Ren bowing his head and pondering, as if he was really pondering other words, and waved his hand and said, "What is Zixiao looking for me?"
"Sir. It's time for us to leave today. ”
Speaking of business, Cao Ren's face suddenly changed from shock to seriousness: "Half a year ago, since my brother issued an edict, the princes from all walks of life have prepared their men and horses, and they have met outside the Bishui Pass in the past few days. Those who were a little further away from the princes presumably had set out many days before. ”
Cao Ren said, his face was anxious, and he seemed to want to fly over there immediately, afraid that those princes would behead Dong Zhuo.
"Without further ado."
When Zhao Zhou heard this, he pondered for a while and found that this time was the time for the Eighteenth Route Princes to meet the alliance, and then he did not delay, and walked towards the direction of Chen Liu with Cao Ren.
It's just that he just arrived outside the city, Cao Cao has already reorganized his men and horses, and is making the final encouragement of the army, as if he is waiting for Zhao Zhou and Cao Ren to return.
When Zhao Zhou saw it, he also stopped with Cao Ren at a distance of 100 meters from the army, and waited until Cao Cao's words fell, and then joined the army.
However, when it comes to the army, Cao Cao's men and horses are only more than 2,000 at most, and the cavalry is less than 100.
But Cao Cao's command was also full of vigor and confidence, and when he saw Zhao Zhou and Cao Ren returning, he drew his sword and pointed to the sky like a general commanding thousands of troops and horses: "Go!"
Woo woo –
The military horn sounded, and the soldiers and horses slowly set out with supplies.
After Zhao Zhou returned to the team, he came to the front of the team, rode a horse and Cao Cao in parallel, and there were Xiahoudun and others beside him, and Cao Ren was in charge of the Chinese army.
It was also at this time.
Cao Cao, who was full of confidence just now, glanced back at his troops, and began to feel uncertain. But his face is still heroic, like more than a thousand soldiers and horses, worthy of hundreds of thousands of troops of the alliance, so that the nearby soldiers can see it, and they are also full of morale, and their steps are more powerful!
"If the morale does not fall, this military can be used to break the enemy!"
Cao Cao thought about it, looked around, but waited until his eyes fell on Zhao Zhou's body beside him, but he rode two steps, avoiding the sergeant's gaze, and suddenly sighed: "Sir, what do you think about the matter of the Eighteenth Route Alliance?" We have more than 1,000 people, can we kill Dong Thief? ”
"Yes, sir, Mende is right."
Xiahoudun also rode two steps, and also joined Cao Cao and Zhao Zhou's discussion: "We have more than 1,000 people, I'm afraid that we won't be able to make any splashes in the alliance, and we can't make those people listen to us." Especially those warlords have been at ease for many years, even if they have Meng De's edict, they may also be able to do their own things and work together! killed Dong Thief, but he controlled the government like Dong Thief! ”
"Yes, what Yuan Rang thinks is exactly what Meng De thinks."
Cao Cao answered, "It's just, let's not talk about who will be the winner in the end." In a word, our military horses are indeed a drop in the ocean in the battle of millions of troops, and it is difficult to guarantee our safety when thousands of horses pass by, and arrows rain down. ”
"Brother is right, in troubled times, who can have a long talk about safety...."Cao Hong and others also rode horses, several people together, they also knew that when they arrived on the battlefield, there was life and death, and when they got together, it may be a permanent parting.
As a result, their words couldn't help but evolve from the alliance of the princes of the Eighteen Roads to sighing and sighing, life and death.
When Zhao Zhou heard this, he saw the appearance of everyone with a lot of emotion, but he thought about it and said word by word: "Don't sigh for all the monarchs, even if the ten thousand horses cross and the horses step on the company camp, as long as the monarchs are on Wu Ji's side, Wu Ji will definitely keep the kings safe and sound, and kill the bloody road among the ten thousand armies."
Zhao Zhou stayed in Cao's house for half a year, Cao Cao and others treated him well, he was grateful, and he would definitely do what he could.
Especially throughout Cao Cao's life, there are too few things to die in his life, and Zhao Zhou is not boasting about Haikou.
"Sir!" However, when Cao Cao and the others heard this, their eyes were red, their fingers pinched and creaked, and they suddenly gave up their hands, and their hearts were moved.
But they didn't make any childlike gestures.
After giving up his hand, he rode away again, and began to urge the army to hurry up.
also with the passage of time.
Five days later.
When Zhao Zhou realized the horse step stake on the horse, he also came to the place of the alliance.
Wait for the soldiers and horses to be anza.
He also came to the alliance tent with Cao Cao Xiahoudun and met Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others.
"Mengde, you're here!"
"Isn't this Mengde?"
"Brother Benchu!"
As soon as everyone met, they began to pursue each other, or they were old friends who talked for a long time and didn't get to the point for a long time.
Zhao Zhou didn't have any opinion on this, closed his eyes and recuperated, and then practiced his strength between slow breaths.
It was also a while.
After everyone got together and made an appointment to celebrate the alliance with a feast in the evening, everyone also took their leave and returned to their respective camps.
"Sir, what do you think of this person?" On the way back to Daying, Cao Cao also asked Zhao Zhou to know what Zhao Zhou had to say about Yuan Shao.
But the most important thing is that Cao Cao is afraid that this gentleman of his will follow these big warlords.
"Yuan Shao?" But in the next moment, Zhao Zhou heard Cao Cao's inquiry, and he also thought about Cao Cao's careful thoughts, and also joked and touted a sentence, which made Cao Cao's heart settle down, and also made him proud for a moment.
"As far as I can see, no one in the tent is a hero except Mengde."
"Sir!"
Although Cao Cao was used to being praised by others, but now when he heard Zhao Zhou's appreciation, he was overjoyed, and a flower appeared on his face.
When Zhao Zhou saw it, he ignored him, and then walked towards the camp.
But as he walked, three people came from afar on foot and walked towards Yuan Shao's barracks, but they were stopped by nearby soldiers.
"Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei?"
Zhao Zhou stopped, looked at Yuan Shao's camp about a hundred feet away, and also saw Zhang Fei arguing with Yuan Shao's soldiers.
"Sir?" Cao Cao saw Zhao Zhou stopping, thinking that something was wrong, his face retracted with a smile, and asked in a low voice. Xiahoudun and the others beside him also stood in place and looked at Zhao Zhou.
"Why don't you let my brother in?"
It's just that the next moment, before they could wait for Zhao Zhou's answer, they heard Zhang Fei's loud voice, and they all looked at Yuan Shao's camp.
