Chapter 823: Dismounting
In Yangzhou, the fields are fertile, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, and a flat boat comes slowly from west to east.
Inside the boat, a strange-looking green-shirted scribe stood in the wind, and behind him stood a big man with a face like a heavy jujube and a long beard that was over his chest.
The scribe was Pang Tongpang, but the big man was Wei Yan.
Behind their boat, there were several small warships closely following, and it was Liu Bei who sent soldiers to protect Pang Tong.
In addition, there are several warships belonging to Jiangdong, which are also far behind.
Wei Yan used to serve as a general in Jingzhou, but he had to be reused by Liu Biao, and it was not until Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou that Wei Yan stood out from the crowd after he promoted talents on a large scale.
Wei Yan himself was a little unruly, but he didn't dare to slack off at all about the strange-looking scribe in front of him.
In the Han Dynasty, the status of scribes was generally higher than that of martial artists, especially Jingxiang celebrities like Pang Tong, who needed Wei Yan to rely on.
What's more, Pang Tong is also highly valued by Liu Bei, and he Wei Yan is just a martial artist who has not made many military exploits.
The river wind blew Wei Yan's beard, and he said in a deep voice: "Military advisor, Sun Bofu is ambitious, and has repeatedly raised troops to attack Jingzhou. ”
"It was precisely because of the appearance of the lord that the Jiangdong army returned in vain, presumably that Sun Bofu must have hated the lord very much."
"For so many years, there has been no friendship between Jingzhou and Jiangdong except for hatred, and I am afraid it will not be too easy for me to go to Liyang this time."
Pang Tong's face also showed a solemn expression, and said: "If there are far-sighted people in Jiangdong, persuading them to join forces with Chen will naturally have hope." ”
"If everyone in Jiangdong is blind, we will be in danger of this trip."
Don't look at Pang Tong's oath in front of Liu Bei, promising that he would be able to persuade Sun Ce to abandon the alliance and attack Chen Xu with the princes.
But this trip will definitely not be too easy, and the two of them will even worry about their lives if they are not careful.
After all, the current Jiangdong and Jingzhou are completely hostile, Pang Tong and Wei Yan are Liu Bei's right-hand men, and the other is the general of Jingzhou.
If Sun Ce was unwilling to form an alliance with Liu Bei, even if his reputation would not harm the lives of the two, he would detain them in Jiangdong.
Therefore, Pang Tong and the two of them still have a certain risk on their trip.
When Wei Yan heard this, his face couldn't help but change slightly, but Pang Tong asked with a smile, "Wen Chang is afraid?" ”
Wei Yan's face turned red when he heard this, but fortunately, he already had a big red face, even if his face was red, ordinary people couldn't find it if they didn't look carefully.
"The military advisor is a scribe, and he is not afraid of Jiangdong Xiaoxiao, but it is me?"
"But please rest assured, if Sun Ce is blind and does not want to form an alliance with the lord, but wants to harm the military advisor, I should lead my subordinates and protect the military advisor to kill the general."
Pang Tong stroked his beard and laughed twice, but he didn't answer.
With the dozens of people he led, it was so difficult to escape in Jiangdong, but he couldn't dampen Wei Yan's enthusiasm.
The group went down the river, and the driving speed was naturally very fast, and after three or five days, they had already arrived in Liyang.
As soon as Pang Tong and the others got off the boat at a ferry, they heard a drum sound, and saw a general leading a group of cavalry, roaring in front of Pang Tong and the others.
"Stomp, stomp!"
The war horse galloped wildly, from far to near, and the spear in the hand of the leader of the general was even more flickering with cold light.
"Stop!"
Wei Yan saw that the cavalry was about to rush over, but he still didn't stop, he couldn't help but be furious, raised his big sword and immediately protected it in front of Pang Tong.
"Humph!"
The general at the head was unaware of it, and with a spear, he actually killed Wei Yan directly.
"Look for death!"
Although Wei Yan had been depressed before, he was also a high-minded and arrogant person, except for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong in Jingzhou, he didn't take anyone else in his eyes at all.
Seeing this Jiangdong general today, he wanted to give himself a dismount, and he couldn't help but be angry, but he didn't dodge, and waved a big knife to meet him.
"Whew!"
The shot stabbed by General Jiangdong was so powerful that it could almost penetrate the space, and it could be seen that he had no intention of keeping his hand at all.
Wei Yan also had a cold light in his eyes, roared angrily, and immediately slashed away with the big knife in his hand.
"Bell!"
A golden resonance sounded, which could almost break people's eardrums, and I saw that the Jiangdong general was actually blocked with people and horses.
As for Wei Yan, he stood still in place.
Seeing this, the Jiangdong general's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he praised loudly: "Good martial arts." ”
Wei Yan snorted coldly, put away his big knife, and stared coldly at the Jiangdong general.
"Tick, tick."
A slight sound sounded, and everyone looked up, only to find that Wei Yan's hands holding the big knife had overflowed blood, and the blood slowly dripped to the ground.
"was hit hard by General Taishi's move, this person is also incompetent."
"Haha, you're wrong, General Taishi is very brave, that guy can block the general's move, but it can be regarded as an abnormal bravery."
"Yes, yes, yes, if you can block the general's move, it seems that Jingzhou is not unavailable."
The general who came over on horseback was none other than Jiangdong General Tai Shici, and the knights who followed him couldn't help laughing when they saw Wei Yan's tiger mouth cracking and spilling blood.
Wei Yan was spitting fire with his eyes, staring at the sneering Jiangdong cavalry, but he didn't speak, just protected Pang Tong behind him.
Seeing this situation, Pang Tong's face turned cold, and he shouted: "I have heard that the Marquis of Wucheng is a hero in the world, but he doesn't want to be a general, but he does such a despicable thing. ”
"It seems that I really think highly of that Sun Bofu, Wen Chang, let's go, it's okay if Jiangdong doesn't come this time."
Pang Tongyi's face was disdainful, and then he pulled Wei Yan and prepared to board the ship again and return to Jingzhou.
Those Jiangdong cavalrymen were all in admiration for their lords, and they couldn't help but be furious when they heard the ugly scribe in front of them slandering their lords like this.
"Bang Bang!"
The sound of drawing swords sounded, and all the Jiangdong cavalry glared angrily at Pang Tong.
A general shouted: "Wu Na thief, you dare to speak disrespectfully to my lord here, I really don't know whether to live or die!" ”
After drinking, the general will immediately step forward to teach Pang Tong a lesson.
"Stop."
At this moment, Tai Shici snorted, and the general reluctantly stopped, but he was still staring at Pang Tong with fire-breathing eyes.
is the so-called: the king humiliates the minister to death.
Tai Shici was also furious when he heard Pang Tong say this about Sun Ce.
However, he came here just to give everyone in Jingzhou a dismount, and he didn't think about killing Pang Tong, so he held back his anger.
Tai Shici's face sank, and he shouted to Pang Tong: "If you can't tell me today, I myself recognize you, but the spear in my hand can't recognize you." ”
Pang Tong laughed out loud and said mockingly: "I am the envoy of Jingzhou, and I came with goodwill, but Sun Bofu asked you to come and give us a horse, this is the way of hospitality?" ”
Pang sneered a few times, glanced at Tai Shici contemptuously, and said, "As a general of Jiangdong, you suddenly attacked and injured Wen Chang with the help of horses, and you still have the face to sneer here, and your face is not thick." ”
The Jiangdong cavalry was furious, but Tai Shici's face turned red and hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted.
He said: "Sir's words are wrong, I just heard that Wei Wenchang is superior in force, so I tried my ears." There is no power for Mr. and the heart of bullying. ”
Tai Shi Ci is also secretly complaining now, he was indeed ordered by Sun Ce to give Pang Tong a disadvantage, so he did not show the slightest mercy when he made a move.
If it weren't for Wei Yan's martial arts, he would probably be stabbed to death by Tai Shici, and he would not have shown the slightest mercy. After all, as long as Pang Tong's life can be spared, as for the others, Sun Ce doesn't care.
But this kind of thing can be done, but it can't be said, otherwise it will be spread out, and Sun Ce's reputation will not be good after all.
Moreover, Pang Tong also poked at Tai Shici's sore spot.
He relied on his horse momentum and struck a thunderous blow unexpectedly, and was about to kill Wei Yan, but he didn't expect to be blocked.
Even if Wei Yan's mouth cracked, Tai Shici was very surprised, secretly thinking that if it was a fair battle, even if he could defeat this person, it would not be too easy.
Tai Shici also has his own pride, so he didn't chase after him.
But the soldiers didn't know that it was greasy, and they sneered at Wei Yan, which made Tai Shici feel a little hot.
At this time, Wei Yan had already recovered from the shock.
He has always been extremely conceited, thinking that there are few enemies in the world of his martial arts, but he doesn't want to fight with Tai Shici, and he has already been injured.
Although this battle was not fair, and he was too hasty to meet the battle, he could also see the extraordinary nature of the general in front of him.
This is not a big blow to Wei Yan, who has always been proud.
But after being hit, Wei Yan was full of fighting spirit, and he was very eager to fight with Tai Shici fairly.
He stepped forward with his sword and shouted, "If you want to fight, then fight!" ”
Tai Shici looked at the person in front of him, even if the tiger's mouth cracked, even if the blood stained the red sword, he was still not afraid, and he couldn't help but admire.
Tai Shi Ci put away his gun and saluted: "Fang Caici is too reckless, relying on horsepower to be slightly superior, and this is a reparation with the general." ”
"After the general's injuries are healed, it will not be too late for us to fight fairly."
Before Wei Yan could speak, Pang Tong hurriedly said: "It's rare that General Taishi understands the righteousness and dares to act, so I will respond for Wen Chang." ”
Don't look at Pang Tong's clamoring to return to Jingzhou just now, it's just a retreat, his primary purpose in coming to Jiangdong is to form an alliance with Sun Ce, and it's not good to make too much trouble.
Therefore, after seeing Tai Shici taking a step back, he did not press too much.
Although Wei Yan was not angry in his heart, he could also distinguish between the priority and the urgency, but he just put away his knife and stood beside Pang Tong without saying a word.
And he also knew that his tiger's mouth was cracking now, although it was only a small injury, but if he fought with Tai Shici at this time, he would definitely be defeated and invincible.
Tai Shi Ci saw that the two of them did not chase and fight, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please come with me." ”
