Sun Ce clenched the halberd, stabbed it out, then retracted it and pulled it hard.

The halberd slashed through the wooden stake, but it could not be cut, as long as the neck of the wooden stake left a deep scratch. If it is a real person, it is inevitable that the carotid artery will be injured and die of excessive blood loss.

Both father and son of the Sun family have a talent for martial arts. Sun Ce's ability to lay down a piece of the country at a young age is inseparable from his talent in this area. Although he was only sixteen years old, he was already eight feet tall, with a bee waist, extraordinary strength, and superhuman reflexes. Even regardless of the family's martial arts, with this physical quality alone, he is a rare fierce general.

The only pity is that the martial arts handed down by the Sun family are also big road goods, nothing more than a few slashes and stabs, there are no legendary soul breaking knives, Qimen guns and other secrets, the difference between them and ordinary people is only that they have been practicing since childhood, and they are more proficient, not comparable to farmers who only practice twice when they are not farming.

Despite this, Sun Ce still practiced very hard. In troubled times, it is always right to have a good martial arts, not to mention that he has such a good foundation, it is a pity to waste it. Although he doesn't want to be a reckless man like a puppet, who can guarantee that there will be no time to be alone. It's easy to cross once, and it's the famous little overlord Sun Ce, if he is cut by a passerby, it will become a joke.

Martial arts, in fact, is also the simplest avenue, the good-looking ones are all fancy shelves, and there are only two tricks that can kill people. Just like those so-called grandmasters in later generations, the posture under the ring is presentable, and when they go to the ring, they either switch to Wang Baquan, or they are killed in seconds, and their noses and eyes are swollen. In the Internet era, all kinds of grandmasters emerge in endlessly, and there are countless who have been beaten back to their original form.

With the halberd in his hand and galloping on his horse, Sun Ce had an inexplicable pride in his chest, as if the original Sun Ce had returned. At this time, the third brother Sun Yi and the eighth sister Sun Shangxiang, who just knew how to walk, were his most loyal cheerleaders, stomping their feet and clapping their hands, and they never got tired of it, which made Sun Ce feel a sense of accomplishment. If it weren't for the fact that he could continue his decaying rich second generation life by changing his father's fate, he wouldn't want to go to Nanyang.

Sun Yi and Sun Shangxiang applauded loudly, and Sun Quan also showed envy. Sun Ce was not very satisfied. He is familiar with the history of war and weapons, and he knows that with the innovation of iron-smelting technology, the protective ability of armor has been improved, and the function of the side branches of the halberd has weakened, and it will soon disappear from the battlefield, and only the function of the thorn will be retained. However, the spear and spear also needed a boost to become the main weapon of cavalry warfare: stirrups, without stirrups to maintain balance, most people could not sit in the saddle with only their legs and charge with guns in both hands.

However, he didn't plan to take out an artifact like a stirrup for the time being.

In the Three Kingdoms period, those who could fight on horses with spears and halberds were masters. Sun Ce is such a master, but this is his talent, not everyone can have it. One of the biggest shortcomings of the Jiangdong as the foundation to compete for the world is the lack of cavalry, there are not enough war horses, there are no well-trained knights, once the Yangtze River is crossed, facing the northern iron cavalry galloping horses, it is difficult for the Jiangdong army to have a chance to win.

If the source of the war horse cannot be solved, the division of Jiangdong is to sit back and wait, unless there is a major mistake in the north, there will be no chance of counterattack. Whether Zhang Hong's Guangling pair, Lu Su's couch pair, or even Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair, there is a premise: there are changes in the north. If there is no change in the north, then Jiangdong and Xishu can only wait for death.

If you want to fight for the Central Plains, you must fight for Jianghuai. If you want to fight for Jianghuai, you have to face the cavalry in the north. After Sun Ce's assassination, Sun Quan failed to attack Hefei many times, although because the military was not Sun Quan's forte, and he met Cao Cao, the most outstanding military strategist of the Three Kingdoms, but in the final analysis, the lack of cavalry was also a key factor. There were not enough cavalry, and even if Sun Ce was not dead, the plan to attack Xu Du would not have much chance of success.

It is Sun Ce's regret that he failed to chase the Central Plains, in this regard, his record is not as good as Sun Jian, who once broke the Xiliang Army, but from another point of view, it is not his luck. In the face of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry and later Wuhuan famous cavalry, Sun Ce did not have the certainty of victory, this is determined by objective conditions, not to be transferred by someone's will, not to mention the little overlord Sun Ce, even if it is the real overlord Xiang Yu, it is impossible to sweep thousands of troops with his own strength. It was precisely because of this that Sun Ce was now desperate to save Sun Jian's life, at least to buy a few years of buffer time, so that he could find a countermeasure against the cavalry.

Practicing martial arts hard is not the same as superstitious personal force, these are two different things.

As a traverser, Sun Ce is very calm.

——

Zhou Yu declined the plan to go to Chang'an, and Lu Kang was disappointed, but he still promoted Zhou Yu as filial piety and entrusted him and Sun Ce to escort the officials to Nanyang.

A few days later, news came from the Taishou Mansion that the officials were ready to set off. Sun Ce said goodbye to his mother and younger siblings, went out with Zhou Yu, and came to the gate of the Taishou Mansion. After a short time, Lu Kang came out, glanced at Sun Ce from a distance, and stopped talking. Sun Ce bowed slightly. Seeing this, Lu Kang returned a salute with some embarrassment.

Sun Shao felt that although Lu Kang was a little self-righteous and sometimes too naïve, he was not strictly speaking a wicked person, at least much better than those sanctimonious great gentlemen in later generations. The Han people still talk about integrity, and then there are only the Wei and Jin dynasties who pretend to be crazy and stupid, and they take drugs and fruits, and then there are the Northern and Southern Dynasties where the family is dominant.

It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out for a while. For Sun Ce, a modern man who came from a long distance or a high-speed rail or an airplane, going far away in the Han Dynasty was definitely a difficult challenge. Because there was no stirrups, it was too tiring to keep the balance by holding the saddle between his legs, and he wanted to sit in the car with Zhou Yu all the time. But after less than a minute of sitting in the car, he changed his mind and decided to ride a horse, which is known as practicing riding.

No way, it's too uncomfortable to ride in the car. One is to sit on your knees, your knees hurt; The second is that the cars of the Han Dynasty did not have a shock absorption system, and the road was uneven, and the bumps hurt the bones. Sun Ce felt that if he took the car to Nanyang, not only would his legs be wasted, but the bones of his whole body would have to be turned into powder.

Let's ride a horse.

Regarding Sun Ce's decision, the official looked indifferent, but he could see the contempt in his eyes, and Zhou Yu did not agree. The car is not only a means of transportation, but also a symbol of status, not everyone can take the car, and it is very shameless to travel on horseback. Even if he was a general who led the army into battle, he could ride as much as he could when he was on the march, and he would only ride a horse as a last resort, and those who had been riding a horse were lowly people, such as the cavalry officers who accompanied him. The ten steps of the Zhou family are to ride a horse, and Sun Ce is riding a horse, isn't he with them?

Sun Ce refused to accept Zhou Yu's opinion, and he even asked Zhou Yu to ride a horse as well, but of course Zhou Yu refused without hesitation. The two insisted on their own words, and in the end they could only take what they wanted, Zhou Yu took the car, and Sun Ce rode a horse.

"You did it of your own free will." Zhou Yu crouched on the carriage and said with a wicked smile.

Sun Ce immediately returned the color. "Gong Jin, although you are smart, you draw the ground as a prison, and psychologically submit to the world, so it is difficult to have real knowledge. If you want to be different, you must first be superior to others and jump out of the inherent level. Only a high-flying eagle can see the whole picture, and a chicken pecking in the grass cannot understand what the eagle is thinking. ”

Zhou Yu was depressed, but he had to admit that Sun Ce was reasonable.
