Chapter 418: Xu Zhongkang deceives defeat and uses tricks
Could Xu Chu really not be able to defeat Sun Yi? Of course it wasn't Liao Li's plan for him. As for why Liao Li gave Xu Chu advice, of course it was because he wanted to live. In order to survive, Liao Li used a plan to trade for more life.
After a period of time, of course, he also understood that Xu Chu and Wei Yan would not let him go, after all, he had cut off Liu Bei's heirs.
Although Xu Chu and Wei Yan hated Liao Li very much, they still admired Liao Li's wisdom. It was also Sun Jian's fault that when he led his troops to invade, Xu Chu was about to send Liao Li on his way. His arrival changed Xu Chu's life.
Liao Li would not let go of the chance to survive, even if he could die a day later. So, Liao Li prepared a simple but practical strategy for Xu Chu, but this strategy was a
A double-edged sword, it depends on Sun Jian or Xu Chu, who is more unlucky?
According to Liao Li's plan, when Xu Chu was fighting with Sun Yi, he let go a little and fought him to a draw. The purpose was to lure out Sun Jian and kill him. Poor Sun Yi thought that he could really compete with Xu Chu.
Short and long, I was extremely excited and waved the iron halberd in my hand even more fiercely.
"Boy, I've had enough, have you had enough?" Seeing that it was almost done, Xu Chu's strength increased by 10%, and Sun Yi immediately felt a little tired.
"I haven't yet." Sun Yi's personality is very similar to that of Sun Ce, so he can't give up easily. He was so anxious that he started to fight desperately.
If someone with similar martial arts to Xu Chu fought hard, he might be able to threaten Xu Chu. But Sun Yi's martial arts was too far behind Xu Chu, so even if he fought hard, he would still be no match. After another thirty rounds, Sun Yi was sweating profusely as he was killed.
But Xu Chu is still calm. Of course, in the eyes of everyone, Xu Chu's martial arts is better than Sun Yi.
"Ding ding ding..." Sun Jian was worried that something might happen to his son, so he quickly ordered the money to be paid. Sun Yi turned his horse and returned without Xu Chu pursuing him.
Returning to the formation, Sun Yi said anxiously: "Father, why bother asking for gold? After a while, my son will be able to capture Xu Chu alive."
"You brat, you're still far behind." Seeing that his son could fight on par with a famous warrior, Sun Jian was also very happy. He smiled and said, "My martial arts have improved a lot recently, but you're still far behind in trying to capture Xu Chu alive.
"
Sun Yi said unconvinced: "Father, apart from you and my eldest brother, only two generals, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, can defeat me. Now Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are pacifying Shanyue with my eldest brother. Is it possible that you are ready?"
Go up by yourself?"
"Why, do you look down on my father?" Sun Jian held the sword and said with a smile on his face: "Although my father is over fifty years old, he has not yet reached the age where he can no longer ride a horse or go into battle."
"Uh..." When Sun Yi heard this, he quickly smiled and said: "My father is still as powerful as before. The child has always only admired Chu. Xu Chu is so ferocious, so I ask my father to think twice."
"When did you kid learn to beat around the bush?" Sun Jian said with a smile, "Just wait until your father captures Xu Chu alive and surrenders to Wuling."
"This..." Sun Yi didn't want to let Sun Jian take risks. If something happened, Sun Ce and Sun Quan would have to skin him. But before he could persuade him again, Xu Chu on the opposite side had already taken action.
"Jiangdong rats, if you have the ability, fight with grandpa for three hundred rounds. If you don't have the ability, stop making noise here. If no one comes to fight, grandpa will return to the city." Xu Chu put the sword on his shoulder, his tone was frivolous, and his face was full of disdain.
, but everyone under Sun Jian's command was so angry that seven or eight Sun generals immediately took action, waiting for Sun Jian's order.
"Xu Chuxiu is so arrogant, wait until I capture you." Sun Jian pointed his sword and rushed forward. Sun Yi couldn't stop him even if he tried to stop him.
"Well done!" Xu Chu's target was Sun Jian. He excitedly raised his sword and rushed forward.
Sun Jian's reputation as the Tiger of Jiangdong is by no means unfounded. It has long been a practice for him to fight first in every battle. When the soldiers in Jiangdong saw Sun Jian personally coming out, they immediately started making noises. Their morale was so high that Wei Yan was not willing to be outdone. He came to the war drum and beat the drum for Xu Chu himself.
The shouts of cheering and killing, and the sound of war drums intertwined together, but Xu Chu and Sun Jian were not affected in the battlefield. Standing opposite each other, the two seemed to be waiting for the other to make the first move, and as if they were looking for each other's weaknesses. A gust of wind blew by, and they were stepped on
The ground was covered with loess, and thick wind and sand were raised. In an instant, the two people's ears were quiet, and there was only each other in their eyes.
"Kill!" The two men shouted loudly at the same time, driving their horses to kill each other. The two swords clashed, and they both felt a little numb in their hands. When they looked at each other, there was a trace of solemnity in their eyes.
"Xu Chu, you'd better surrender." Sun Jian admired Xu Chu very much and asked him to surrender. As a prince, the last thing he wants is to fight with a loyal minister. Even if he wins or kills the opponent, he will not be happy. But if the opponent surrenders easily
, but may not be taken seriously. Perhaps this is the contradiction of being a prince.
"My second brother said, if you defeat me, I will surrender." Xu Chu was determined to take Sun Jian's head as an audience gift, how could he be moved by his words?
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with wine," Sun Jian said angrily; "I will beat you until you are convinced."
"I am not ashamed of my words." Xu Chu raised his sword to kill Sun Jian, and Sun Jian also came to kill him with his sword. The two of them went back and forth on the battlefield, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
Sun Yi saw the two of them fighting behind the formation, and couldn't help but thought to himself: "I think Xu Chu is only capable of this. It turns out that when he fought with me, he actually held back his hand. Why did Xu Chu hold back when fighting with me?"
Could it be..."
"Hurry up and ring the gold." Sun Yi's heart trembled. He quickly ordered the ringing of the gold. No one dared to disobey, and a burst of gongs sounded on the battlefield.
"My son, why do you call me gold?" Sun Jian turned his horse back with a bit of displeasure on his face. In his opinion, he would soon defeat Xu Chu.
"Father, Xu Chu is weird," Sun Yi said: "His martial arts skills are on par with my father's, and he can easily defeat me, but why did he hold back on me? It's obvious that he wants to fight my father."
"Go to fight against me?" Sun Jian is not stupid, he is just a member of the authority. After listening to Sun Yi's analysis, he frowned and said: "Does Xu Chu want to plot against me? Does he have the brains?"
"Father, Xu Chu and Wei Yan don't have it, but Liao Li does." Sun Yi said with a smile: "Before coming here, Mr. Pang once said that although Liao Lizhi's talents are lower than him, they are not much different. If Liao Li had given instructions, Xu Chu and Wei Yan's talents would
The weirdness can be explained.”
"Liao Li?" Sun Jian thought for a while and felt that what Sun Yi said was very reasonable. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Yi'er has made great progress recently and can share my worries. We need to continue our efforts and guard against arrogance and impetuosity."
"Thank you for the compliment, father." A proud smile appeared on Sun Yi's face, and then he asked: "Father, now that we have seen through Liao Li's plan, what should we do?"
"What else can we do? Keep fighting." Sun Jian said with a smile: "Even if Liao Li has all kinds of schemes, if I don't fall for it, what can he do to me? Don't worry, you are not a stupid father."
"This..." Sun Yi didn't expect that what he said would arouse Sun Jian's arrogance. He said anxiously: "As the saying goes: A son with a lot of money will not be buried in court. My father is a member of Jiangdong's foundation, how can he easily take risks? How can he expect that?
Father, think twice”
Sun Jian patted Sun Yi on the shoulder and said: "My son, there is no need to worry. Xu Chu can't hurt me. Have you forgotten that Mr. Fengchu said that Yangzhou has the aura of an emperor, while Jianye has the aura of a king? I have already moved the government seat."
When it comes to Jianye, if Xu Chu is tainted with the royal aura, no matter how powerful he is, can he still be more powerful than God?"
"Father, Mr. Fengchu also said that Liu Bei was an emperor. If he still fell, please think again." Sun Yi became anxious and said something that made Sun Jian very unhappy.
"Then Liu Bei died because of Liu Zhang's plan. Do you think I am worse than Xu Chu?" Sun Jian gave his son a cold look. Although he is not a stubborn person, people can easily become confused as they get older, not to mention
Taught by his son
"Father, I..." Sun Yi knew that he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late to change it now, so he could only keep silent.
"Sun Wentai, are you okay? You have to teach your son a lesson when you go home. I'm still waiting to teach you a lesson." Xu Chu, who was showing off his power in front of the battle, was a little impatient, so he treated Sun Jian as a son and taught him a lesson.
"Xu Zhongkang, don't regret it." Sun Jian always wanted to subdue Xu Chu, so he kept giving in. Now he was angered by Sun Yi's words and was taught by Xu Chu as his son. If he could still hold back, he wouldn't be Sun Jian.
"Alas..." Xu Chu sighed: "Are you qualified to make me regret it? If you want to fight, then fight. Look, just for a while, how many times have you asked for gold?"
"I..." Sun Jian felt a little ashamed after hearing this. He pointed his sword and said: "Xu Zhongkang, I will compete with you this time. Regardless of the outcome, I will never withdraw my troops."
"Come on," Xu Chu's eyes lit up and he said, "Stop talking nonsense, you can see the truth under your hands."
"Tap tap tap..." There was a sound of horse hooves, and Sun Jian and Xu Chu clashed again. The two swords collided with each other with great force. Outsiders only saw sparks flying around. The horse turned around and fought again. Sun Jian had already tried his best.
He used all his strength, but Xu Chu pretended to use all his strength. In fact, Xu Chu originally wanted to kill Sun Jian directly, but after a fight, he found that Sun Jian's martial arts was not weak. It was easy to defeat but difficult to kill. With an idea, he came up with the idea.
Come up with a good idea to take advantage of the situation
Sun Jian didn't know that Xu Chu was holding back. He fought with all his strength, and his sword was as fast as a sword. But no matter what, he could not break through Xu Chu's last line of defense. In anger, he changed his mind, turned around and ran away. Seeing that Sun Jian had not yet lù
He ran away as soon as he was defeated. Xu Chu knew that he was weird. The so-called skilled man was so great that Xu Chu would not be afraid, so he quickly chased after him.
"Here..." Xu Chu got closer and closer, and Sun Jian suddenly turned around and threw out a three-foot-long knife, stabbing Xu Chu's confidant. Xu Chu tilted his body, and the knife flew past his body, and then flew back with a clang.
In the hands of Sun Jian
"Good knife..." Seeing Sun Jian holding a knife in each hand, Xu Chu's pupils shrank. He lowered his head and saw two scratches on his chest and arm, with blood flowing out from the scratches.
"This is the ancient ingot sword passed down from the ancestors of my Sun family. Legend has it that it was given to my ancestor Sun Wu by King Helu of Wu." Sun Jian shook the ancient ingot sword, and a soft purple light flashed on the sword.
"It's such a good knife." Xu Chu was a knife fanatic. He pursed his lips and said, "If you can give me this knife, I will surrender. How about that?"
"This...can't..." Sun Jian was very depressed. The ancient ingot sword was not only a good sword, it also symbolized the rise and fall of the Sun family, and it was also Sun Jian's command sword. How could he give it away?
"How stingy. I'm such a general, but I'm not worth a broken sword?" Xu Chu said with a smile: "What if you give me this sword and I exchange it with Wuling City?"
"I..." Sun Jian really wanted to agree, but the ancient ingot sword was of great significance to the Sun family. It was like the emperor's royal seal. How could he give it away? Let alone Xu Chu, even if the emperor wanted it, he had to give it away.
Think carefully and don't provoke the Sun family to rebel.
"Since you refuse to give it to me, I will kill you and this sword will be mine." Seeing Sun Jian's embarrassed look, Xu Chu knew that he would not give the ancient ingot sword to him. Of course, Xu Chu was just testing Sun Jian's temperament, but it was a pity that Sun Jian let him down.
Got it
"If you can really kill me and seize the sword, why not give it to you?" Sun Jian was also aroused with a sense of arrogance. He was about to rush towards Xu Chu with two swords in hand, but suddenly he heard another sound of gold.
"General Sun, my third brother has been fighting with you for a long time. We are tired and our horses are exhausted. How about we rest for a night before fighting again?" This time, it was not Sun Jian's army who was claiming gold, but Wei Yan who was on top of Wuling City.
"Okay, let's fight again tomorrow." Looking at the sky, it was indeed a bit late. Sun Jian agreed to Wei Yan's request and stopped his troops and returned to the camp.
Back in the city, Xu Chu rushed to the top of the city and said, "Second brother, why don't you let me continue fighting with Sun Jian? He is not my opponent."
"I know, but it's difficult for you to kill him." Wei Yan said with a smile: "Rather than expend all your energy, it's better to withdraw and let's find a way."
"Hmph." Xu Chu threw the sword to the ground and said, "I can't believe that Sun Wentai has such martial arts. It's easy for me to defeat him, but it's hard to kill him."
"It's easy to kill him," Wei Yan said with a smile, "Do you still remember how Shamoko dealt with eldest brother?"
"Of course I remember," Xu Chu said, "but we don't have the poison of the barbarians."
"What kind of poison do you want?" Wei Yan said: "Tomorrow I will arrange some archers to ambush the place where Samoko plotted against my eldest brother. You will lure Sun Jian over by pretending to be defeated. When the time comes, the ambush will shoot him with bows and arrows. If you kill him again, how can Sun Wentai do it?"
Survived? In order to prevent his subordinates from coming to rescue him, once you lure him away, I will lead my army directly towards Sun Jian's army, and I will definitely keep Sun Jian at the foot of Wuling City."
"Okay." Xu Chu patted his big tui and said, "Tomorrow I will do as the second brother said."
"You have to be careful not to be impatient and fight Sun Jian for a while before losing, lest he doesn't chase." Wei Yan said with a smile: "Kill Sun Jian, Cao Cao will be here."
"Second brother, don't worry, my younger brother is not stupid either." Xu Chu was dull and reckless, but it does not mean that he was stupid. Otherwise, historically, he would not have become Cao Cao's personal guard general and continued to protect Cao Pi after Cao Cao's death.
In the early morning of the next day, Sun Jian arrived at the gate of Wuling City. Xu Chu rode his horse out of the city without saying a word. The two of them didn't say anything and started fighting when they met. From early morning to noon, the two fought for two to three hundred rounds. Xu Chu
Suddenly he reined in his horse and turned around. Sun Jian thought he had some back-up plan, so he chased him. Unexpectedly, he caught up with him and reached a dead end.
