Chapter 6 Discord Meter

As mentioned last time, Liu Hou and Gao Ding's two armies faced off against each other under the city of Yuewang, and Liu Hou persuaded Gao Ding to surrender. Of course, Gao Ding was not so easily moved by Liu Hou's words, so he just listened to him:

"If it is the will of the Han Emperor, I will naturally obey it, but now that the Han is dead, your father, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan are just the rebellious ministers and thieves of the Han Dynasty, even if they claim to be the emperor, they will not be recognized by the people of the world. The crown prince Hugh wants to say more, and if he wants to fight, he will fight. ”

Liu Hou rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, this guy said that he seemed to be a loyal servant of the Han family, but in essence, he was not a mother or a mother. If he is really loyal to the Han family, then why did he accept the instigation and funding of Sun Quan and Cao Pi, two real Han thieves?

"General Gao, this is wrong, my father is a descendant of Emperor Taizu, and today he inherits the Han family, which is the continuation of the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and it is the object of your allegiance. If you are truly loyal to the Han family, you should help my father and the emperor, and when he revives the Han family, you can also go down in history.

What you are doing now cannot escape the judgment of a rebellious minister and thief, are you not afraid that you will bring disaster to your children and grandchildren in the future? ”

"Haha, ignorant child, I don't know who will write the future history. As for the children and grandchildren, the children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I can manage so much, as long as I have soldiers and horses in my hands, it is their best support in the future. In this troubled world, what can be more powerful as a bargaining chip than the soldiers and horses in hand? Is it by your promise? Gao Ding said.

This may have been the true thought of most warlords throughout the ages. I didn't expect this Gao Ding to think so thoroughly. This statement is exactly the same as the saying that "power comes out of the barrel of a gun".

"Hehe, your soldiers? Your soldiers and horses are vulnerable, can you rely on them? The only thing you can rely on is your loyalty to me, pay attention, it is loyalty to me, and it is useless to others, it will only make you die faster. Liu Houdao.

"Good boy, well, show me what you have to offer, and show me what you have to offer my loyalty. Do you dare to fight me? ”

"Hehe, I usually don't fight with people, because as soon as I get out of the horse, the other party will definitely die, Xu Huang, you know, he was killed by me alone. You, forget it, the force value is too low, it's not worth my shot. Liu Hou said lightly.

"Hmph, as much as you want, how can you defeat a famous general like Xu Huang, and kill you with one move, it's almost the same if he kills you with one move. Boy, it's useless to brag, just let the horse come and I'll meet you personally. ”

Gao Ding obviously didn't know the cause of Xu Huang's death, too, this kind of humiliating thing Wei Jun would not automatically spread out, and Nanzhong was located in the southwest corner of the Celestial Empire, which belonged to a poor and remote place, not only far away from the Central Plains, but also inconvenient transportation, rugged roads, and it was not surprising that the news did not come.

"Uncle Zhao, please go out and capture this wingman alive for me." Liu Hou turned his head to Zhao Yundao. Wouldn't it be a pity to have a peerless celebrity on the side?

"I don't need Uncle Zhao to go out, I'll leave it to my brother." Before Zhao Yun could agree, a rough voice came. Liu Hou turned his head and saw that it was Guan Suo who had just come to join him.

Well, according to folklore, this Guan Suo is strong in martial arts. Many heroes and heroes in later generations like to use the word "Guan Suo" as a nickname to show their bravery, such as Yang Xiong, a good man in Liangshan in "Water Margin", nicknamed "Sick Guan Suo", and the Song Dynasty also has legends that there are nicknames such as "Xiao Guan Suo", "Sai Guan Suo" and other green forest heroes or Jiangyang thieves.

It can be seen that people at that time generally believed that Guan Suo should be a very strong figure in martial arts, so he would compare it. That being said, it should be fine for him to play.

So Liu Hou said: "It is naturally okay for the third brother Guan to play, but you have to be careful of these thieves to deceive, there is a way that the open gun is easy to block, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent." So please be careful about the third brother. ”

"Prince, please rest assured, Suo Ding will capture this wingman back and dedicate it to the prince." Guan Suo and Liu Hou are not familiar with each other, and they are called in a proper manner, unlike Zhang Bao and Guan Xing who call Liu Hou's third brother or even directly call Adou.

On the other hand, Gao Ding saw that the Shu army was not the main general prince, but an unknown young general, so he didn't play himself, saving him from losing his identity. There was no need for him to say anything, and the subordinate general around him, E Huan, automatically invited Ying to fight. Gao Ding is in the middle of the heart, and he is naturally good.

The two drove their horses to the front of the two armies, and stopped their horses at a distance of 30 paces, and they planned to talk about the scene before the battle:

"A certain general under the command of General Gao, who is Ehuan, who will come?" E Huan spoke first. Liu Hou fixed his eyes and saw that the Han was nine feet long and had a hideous face, so that a Fang Tian painting halberd was brave at a glance, and he had a heart of love.

"The little master is Guan Suo, a rebel general, and he doesn't get off the horse quickly and be bound." After Guan Suo finished answering, he urged the horse to rush over without waiting for an answer, and at the same time, E Huan also drove the war horse and ran.

The two of them hedged one by one, turned sideways, and with a "ping-pong" sound, the two weapons slammed together, bursting out with a burst of sparks.

Guan Suo only felt that the hand holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife trembled slightly, and said in his heart, this thief is so strong. The two turned their horses' heads and fought together again. This time, the two sides did not rush to the horse and leave, but blocked each other dozens of times with knives and halberds, each time it was a hard encounter, and each time it was with all their strength.

Then, the two horses staggered, and after pulling the horse's head again, the two were more than a dozen paces apart, and began to talk again:

"Wu Na thief, martial arts are not bad." Sekiropeway.

"You're young, and you're okay." E Huan also said.

It may be that the two of them fought with all their might just now, so they needed time to slow down and regain their breath, so after saying a few more nonsense, they urged the horse forward again, and fought together in "ping pong".

Liu Hou has been taught by the famous teacher Zhao Yun for many years, and now he also has a good eye for martial arts. In his opinion, the martial arts level of these two people is about the same, probably a second-rate middle and upper level. As a ministry, he would be a good candidate.

E Huansheng is infinitely powerful, and many times he often wins by strength. Guan Suo's strength is slightly inferior, but there are many changes in his knife skills, relying on flexible and changeable moves and E Huan's maneuvers, but he is not lagging behind. After all, Guan Suo is only a teenager, he is still young, and there is still a lot of room for growth, Liu Hou is very optimistic about his future.

Liu Hou watched it with relish and felt that this battle was very exciting. In the past, it was relatively rare to see such a practical performance, the key is that these two people are at the same level, so that there will be no one-sided situation, so that the two can fight for a long time, and they can watch the play for a long time.

It's not that he hasn't seen the fights that are stronger than these two people's martial arts, but Liu Hou feels that those are not exciting at all. For example, Zhao Yun usually sees the most shots, but usually as soon as he makes a move, he will solve the battle within one or two moves, and many times his movements are so fast that Liu Hou can't see clearly. What do you say about such a fight.

This battle is different, Liu Hou estimates that his level may not be much different from the two, of course, the actual combat experience is definitely not comparable to them. It is precisely because the three of them are at the same level that they can see their movements clearly, and they can also judge which of their moves is used well, and which move is not in place.

Connoisseurs watch the doorway and watch the play in the field they understand, that is called fun. Otherwise, if you ask a person who grew up watching Peking Opera to see Romeo and Juliet, will he think it looks good?

The two of them fought about 300 rounds, and their movements slowed down significantly, and they all seemed to be tired. Liu Houzheng wanted to order the gong to be struck and call Guan Suo back, but was suddenly stopped by Zhao Yun. Liu Hou looked at the field suspiciously, only to see that Guan Suo seemed to be defeated by E Huan, turned the horse's head and left, and dragged the knife backwards, with the knife edge upward.

Liu Hou's eyes lit up, could this be the legendary knife dragging? Sure enough, when E Huan came to chase after him, and was about to catch up with Guan Suo, the knife that Guan Suo was dragging behind suddenly jumped up and slashed at E Huan with the back of the knife. E Huan was caught off guard, didn't have time to block, and was knocked to the ground.

Zhao Yun, who had been prepared for a long time, gave an order, and a group of sergeants ran out of the Shu army and stepped forward to tie up E Huan. Gao Ding didn't expect that E Huan would be suddenly knocked off the horse, so he was stunned for a while, and when he saw the Shu army running out to tie up E Huan, he also ordered someone to go out and try to snatch E Huan back, but it was too late.

First, they released it later than the Shu army, and secondly, just now Guan Suo was defeated and ran some distance to the Shu army, so the place where Ehuan fell to the ground was close to the Shu army and far away from the Gaoding army. Therefore, in the case of Guan Suo Palace, E Huan was successfully tied back by the Shu army.

Gao Dingjian saw that he had lost a tiger general, so he was willing to give up and immediately waved his army to attack. After the Shu army crackled two rounds of muskets, the Gaoding army, which was already demoralized due to the defeat of the generals, retreated.

Liu Hou did not pursue either, and ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp. After returning to the camp, Liu Hou personally untied the rope that bound E Huan and asked the leader of the gang to prepare a sumptuous banquet to entertain him.

E Huan is also not polite, he eats when he sees food, and drinks wine when he sees it. Liu Hou tried hard to recall Zhuge Liang's persuasion of E Huan in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he brewed in his heart for a while, sorted out his thoughts, considered the wording, and then said:

"The general's martial arts are strong and heroic, may I ask who the general is?" Liu Houdao.

"A certain family is Gao Dinggao's subordinate Ehuan."

"Oh, what a good man, General Gao, I know, I heard that he is a loyal man, did he listen to some rumors, was bewitched by bad people, and was deceived so he rebelled? At first glance, the king saw that the general was a loyal and righteous man, not like a chaotic minister and thief.

Today, I will let you go back, you can persuade General Gao to surrender to my Han Dynasty as soon as possible, you must know that rebellion will punish the nine clans. So please seize this opportunity so that it will not bring disaster to your children and grandchildren in the future. ”

Liu Hou had a very good attitude, talked to E Huan with a pleasant face, and lowered his posture very lowly, analyzed the terrible consequences of the rebellion for him in one night, and after intimidating him, he would give him countless benefits after luring him to surrender. The banquet lasted until midnight, and then the guests and hosts dispersed.

Early the next morning, Liu Hou let E Huan leave, and E Huan thanked Liu Hou for his grace of not killing and thanked him. E Huan returned to the city, met Gao Ding, and talked about the kindness of the crown prince Liu Chan to him, and Gao Ding also became grateful.

E Huan also told Gao Ding what Liu Hou persuaded to surrender, and Gao Ding's heart was also moved. The heart of surrender had entered his mind, and no matter how much he wanted to forget it, it would not go away.
