The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Otherwise, it is impossible to be the big brother of Ou Xing.

It's just that Zhou Chao is a person who has strength but has a good chance to fight high-level opponents. After becoming the leader of the Shanyue people, he enjoys it more often and rarely has the opportunity to do it himself. fell down.

Fighting against Zhou Cang's blow, Zhou Chao immediately realized that although the person in front of him seemed silent, the attack he made made Zhou Chao feel a serious threat.

And Zhou Cang also saw that Zhou Chao's strength was not bad as soon as he played against each other. At least Zhou Cang was not sure that he could defeat this person in a short time.

Huhu.

Zhou Cang swung his big saber again, slashing at Zhou Chao's chest, the blade slashed across, making a sound of howling wind.

At this time, Zhou Chao also immediately drew his hands to resist. The two swords collided from time to time, and sometimes split.

During these seventeen or eighteen rounds of fighting, the Shanyue troops around Zhou Chao were almost dead.

However, more than half of them were scared away by the amazing strength displayed by Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses.

Waiting for the troops on the battlefield, only Zhou Chao and Zhou Cang were left fighting each other. Liu Zheng and Xu Huang, who were standing outside, looked at these two with great interest.

"Come on, come on, take a good look. This is a real fight between you, Professor Zhou Cang, and others. It will allow you to study hard and see what a real battlefield confrontation looks like."

Liu Zheng arranged for the students at the back of the team to come up, let them experience it for themselves, and at the same time feel what kind of atmosphere the real battlefield is like.

Among these students, some were terrified, some were so frightened that their legs trembled, some remained silent, and some were even eager to try and were very excited.

After all, some are the children of the Shanyue people who have never been on the battlefield, and some are yellow scarf soldiers who have followed Liu Zheng for more than half a year.Children like Wenpin who have already experienced brutal fighting on the battlefield will not panic about such small-scale battles.

On the contrary, I feel that there is not much interest in it, and I can analyze the situation and speak clearly and logically.

However, Liu Zheng, Xu Huang and the others were currently studying who would win between Zhou Cang and Zhou Chao.

Zhou Cang's strength is clear to Liu Zheng, Xu Huang and others. Under Liu Zheng's command, he is not as good as his superiors, but more than his inferiors.

Although it is not the opponent of Xu Huang, Gan Ning and others, it is better than Pei Yuanshao and others.

Liu Zheng and others have never seen the Zhou Dynasty that suddenly appeared. For Liu Zheng, who knows some history of the Three Kingdoms, this is the first time he has heard of this Zhou Dynasty. In Liu Zheng's opinion, he is at most A third-rate general.

It can be seen that after seeing the battle between him and Zhou Cang, Liu Zheng has a clear understanding of Zhou Chao's strength. This guy's strength is probably not much worse than Zhou Cang's.

"My lord, do you think who will win the first fight between Brother Zhou Cang and that thief?"

Xu Huang's gaze stayed on Zhou Cang and Zhou Chao all the time, and he didn't look away at all, as if he had seen through the skills of these two people at this time.

After asking Liu Zheng a question, I really want to know what Liu Zheng thinks.

"It goes without saying, of course Zhou Cang is stronger. Zhou Cang is by your side and Huang Zhong, and he has learned a few tricks from you. How can he still lose to a bandit leader?"

Without thinking about it, Liu Zheng directly said Zhou Cang won.

In fact, Liu Zheng can't see the strength between Zhou Cang and Zhou Chao, who is stronger, but seeing that Xu Huang, Huang Zhong and others are so calm, he knows that Zhou Cang will not lose to Zhou Chao .

In this way, Liu Zheng also calmed down a little, and after dozens of rounds of fighting, Zhou Cang obviously became more and more courageous as he fought, and the speed of waving the blade became faster and faster, and Zhou Chao was already sweating profusely, even though at this time It is March in Yangchun, the ice and snow have just melted, and the temperature is not too hot.

The Zhou Dynasty was still sweating profusely, and the hard work became more and more difficult.

In this way, Liu Zheng can roughly imagine that the strength of the Zhou Dynasty is not good at protracted battles, and it will soon be defeated.

Seeing that Liu Zheng was right all of a sudden, Xu Huang showed a slight look of surprise on his face.

"My lord, how do you know?"

Liu Zheng smiled lightly, pretending to be inscrutable.

"It goes without saying that although the strength of the Zhou Dynasty was good, at most it was a tie with Zhou Cang. In addition, the men around him were almost killed and injured at this time. Even if they didn't die, they ran for their lives. For him The pressure is mounting."

"Not only do you have to fight to the death with Zhou Cang, but you also have to guard against the attacks of other people around you. This adds too much pressure to Zhou Chao, so I think he will not be able to last long. As expected, within ten moves, Zhou Cang will definitely find a flaw, and knock him down with a single blow."

Although Liu Zheng pretended to be unfathomable, he only thought of these words after careful consideration just now.

Xu Huang nodded after listening.

Even Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, who were standing beside them, looked at Liu Zheng with a trace of surprise in their eyes after listening to it. They never thought that Liu Zheng still had such a look.

Sure enough, not long after Liu Zheng finished commenting, the battle between Zhou Cang and Zhou Dynasty on the battlefield also came to an end.

During Zhou Chao's battle with Zhou Cang, even if he didn't consider that he should pay attention to the movement around him, he was still planning for his own escape.

His eyes kept scanning back and forth all around, wanting to find an opportunity to break through, but he didn't see any chance when he looked left and right.

And precisely because of his looking left and right, in Zhou Cang's eyes, it became a flaw.

When Zhou Chao was looking left and right again, Zhou Cang deliberately exposed a flaw and let Zhou Chao take the initiative to walk down the pit set by Zhou Cang.

In this way, Zhou Cang seized the opportunity to temporarily change his attack, and suddenly swung the recovered sword up again.

Because of the avatar of the Zhou Dynasty, he didn't notice it at the beginning, and it was too late when he found out.

His face changed suddenly, but it still couldn't change the situation of the battle.

With a clanging sound, Zhou Chao's broadsword was picked up by Zhou Cang and fell to the ground, but Zhou Cang didn't give Zhou Chao a chance at all, and swung the knife again.

It was chopped down along the face of the Zhou Dynasty.

"Be merciful!"

Seeing that Zhou Cang was about to kill Zhou Chao with one blow, Liu Zheng hurriedly stopped when he saw it.

Chapter 198

Zhou Cang's sword was about to fall on Zhou Chao, but Liu Zheng scolded him.

He stopped less than three inches away from Zhou Chao's chest.

The terrified face of Zhou Chao was already desperate. It can be seen that he was not directly killed, but his face looked a little better.

"Go! Come with me to meet our Qu Shuai!"

Zhou Chao was used by Zhou Cang to question him, so he hurriedly got up from the ground, and then drove Zhou Chao to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng looked at the flustered Zhou Chao in front of him, but he didn't take the initiative to speak, and that Zhou Chao didn't speak either. Although he was a little scared, he still pretended to be arrogant, as if he wanted to see death as home.

With Zhou Chao's appearance, Liu Zheng just smiled lightly and didn't say much, but Zhou Cang, after returning to Liu Zheng's life, immediately spoke excitedly to Liu Zheng.

"Shuai Qu, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life. I will kill all these Shanyue thieves and capture the head of the thieves!"

With only a thousand men under his command, Zhou Cang killed more than two thousand men under Zhou Dynasty, and Zhou Cang's own losses can be said to be negligible, more than a thousand people, probably only a dozen people were killed or injured.

Moreover, most of them were slightly injured, and there were probably not many who died in battle. After all, they were all veteran soldiers, and it was easy to deal with some bandits and mobs.

"Okay, very good. Fortunately, this is the first actual combat after the military restructuring. It has indeed brought some confidence to our military restructuring and proved that there is nothing wrong with our military restructuring."

Although Liu Zheng had known for a long time that such a change was much better than a mob-like army formation, but after this actual battle, Liu Zheng was more certain that there was nothing wrong with his reformation.

At the same time, Liu Zheng looked at Zhou Chao.

Although the Zhou Dynasty was a little defiant and didn't have much awe of Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng didn't care.

"Zhou Chao, what's the matter, do you still want three thousand gold?"

"Hmph, winner and loser, now I am a prisoner, life and death is not a matter of your words, so don't be proud in front of me, if you want to kill, you have to cut it to your heart's content."

Zhou Chao thought he was doomed, so he didn't even bother to say something like begging for mercy. It's better to pretend to be righteous, so that he can leave a good impression in front of Liu Zheng, and maybe let Liu Zheng Fight to have a good time.

"Okay, enough courage, just based on this, I don't have to kill you guy, of course I don't kill you, in fact there are other reasons, I heard that you and Ou Xing are sworn brothers?"

"So what?"

"Since you are Ou Xing's sworn brother, I killed Ou Xing, why don't you come to avenge Ou Xing?"

Although Liu Zheng heard something about Ou Xing and Zhou Chao from Yuan Zhou's mouth, he still didn't understand the specific secrets. Now that he captured Zhou Chao himself, he wanted to ask Zhou Chao directly. , perhaps more clearly.

"That bastard Ou Xing, he was killed by you. I'm too happy, so why would I avenge him?"

"Hey, this is strange. Aren't you sworn brothers? No matter how you look at you, you seem to be very resentful towards that district star."

"We are indeed sworn brothers, but this is only in name only. That Ou Xing and I have known each other in the early years. At the beginning, we were just little bandits who robbed the vicinity of Changsha County. In order to strengthen ourselves, a group of people worshiped one after another. I am sworn brother, and Ou Xing's strength is good as the second child."

Now that Ou Xing was mentioned, Zhou Chao didn't want to say anything more, but he became angry. At this moment, he simply told Liu Zheng about the past between him and Ou Xing.

Zhou Chao and Ou Xing were really good brothers in the beginning.

That was many years ago, Zhou Chao and others were bandits in this area of ​​Changsha County. They occupied the mountain as king and had more than a dozen brothers under them.Relying on these brothers to gradually become famous in this area, and the strength is getting stronger and stronger.

And Ou Xing also started to join them at that time.Because Ou Xing has a good mind, he often helps these people, and gradually he can enjoy himself in front of everyone.

After Ou Xing got acquainted with Zhou Chao's side, he gradually began to fan the flames in front of Zhou Chao, messing up the relationship between these brothers around Zhou Chao, and finally split dozens of brothers under Zhou Chao into two groups.

The opinions of the two sides gradually began to diverge, and eventually they broke up to the point of disagreement.

Some of them continued to follow the Zhou Dynasty to occupy the mountain near Guiyang County as kings, while another group of people left Guiyang and came to Yichun County at the junction of Changsha County and Yuzhang County, where they became the new King of the Mountain.

This is the later Mingyue Village. At the beginning, Zhou Chao didn't know that Ou Xing was behind all these things.

After the wave of people who left the Zhou Dynasty gained a firm foothold in Mingyue Village and were gradually replaced by Ou Xing.Ou Xing became their leader, and Zhou Chao gradually realized that Ou Xing was playing tricks behind these people, which caused his original team to split into two waves.

As a result, Zhou Chao had an abnormal resentment towards Ou Xing, but due to the brotherhood in the past, Zhou Chao did not attack Ou Xing. After all, they were still grasshoppers standing on the same boat and wanted to fight against the court together.

So although Zhou Chao had some opinions on Ou Xing, he still endured it.

But after hearing that Ou Xing was actually eliminated by Liu Zheng, he didn't feel any resentment, but was more happy.

After Liu Zheng heard Zhou Chao's words, he finally understood the grievances and resentments between this guy and Ou Xing.Understood, after he and Ou Xing didn't have too much involvement, Liu Zheng had a heart of love for talents, and he didn't want to kill Zhou Chao. subordinate.

Although people like the Zhou Dynasty did not have a great reputation in history, and they could only leave a simple name in the biography of Sun Jian in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, at least it can prove that he has some strength. Zhou Cang's confrontation can be felt.

Although the strength of the Zhou Dynasty is slightly inferior to that of Zhou Cang, it can be regarded as a third-rate general in the history of the Three Kingdoms.It's more than enough for Liu Zheng to be the head of a song. In addition, Liu Zheng's fancy is not Zhou Chao, but the Shanyue trilogy under Zhou Chao's command.

To be able to subdue the Zhou Dynasty, it would be possible to subdue the thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of the Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, there may be more Shanyue people in the Zhou Dynasty than he can have. If Liu Zheng can include all these Shanyue people under his command in Mingyue Village, and continue to expand in a short time, the number of people under his command will increase.

In this way, the two newly formed battalions under Liu Zheng's command can be further supplemented.

Chapter 199

After thinking about this, Liu Zheng immediately asked Zhou Chao.

"Now that you are my prisoner, think about whether you want to die or take refuge in me. If you want to die, I will give you a happy ending. If you want to take refuge in me, I see that you are also a talent. I am also willing to accept you, but you have to start with my little soldiers."

No one wants to die. When Liu Zheng said such words, Zhou Chao showed a hint of surprise on his face. He thought he was going to die, but from Liu Zheng's face he saw that Liu Zheng didn't want to die. Kill him, so he nodded immediately without hesitation.

"If you can't die, who wants to die? If Liu Zheng and Qu Shuai are willing to accept my surrender, I will naturally be willing to rely on Qu Shuai from now on."

"Very well, I like people who know the current affairs like you. As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are Junjie. Since you are willing to rely on me, then I will give you the first task, to get those people under your command Gather them all together and let them join my command and become my subjects, and I will promote you to be the head of the village, and reward you if you have meritorious service in the future."

Although the Zhou Dynasty at this time did not know what Liu Zheng meant by the head of the village, after all, he was not a member of Liu Zheng's command, and he didn't know much about Liu Zheng's army restructuring.But at this time, Liu Zheng was able to spare his life, which made him very satisfied, and he knelt down on the ground without saying a word, expressing his sincerity to Liu Zheng.

After Liu Zheng finished talking to Zhou Chao, he ignored Zhou Chao and let Zhou Cang take full responsibility for how to recruit Zhou Chao's men and horses.

But he himself turned around and took the remaining more than 1000 people to continue looking towards Linwu County.

At this time, the city tower of Linwu County was full of people, more people than before.

Because of the sudden exchange of fire between the two groups of people outside the city, the people on the tower couldn't figure out what the hell the two groups of people outside the city were doing.

Obviously, the two waves are bandit forces, but not only did they not work together to attack the city, but they fought with each other.

This made Liu Yan, who was still very nervous at the beginning, a little bit confused about the situation and couldn't make up his mind.

At the beginning, Liu Yan saw two groups of 5000 people combined, and thought that the other party would forcibly attack the city. With these troops attacking Linwu County, the [-] county soldiers in Linwu County couldn't stop it at all.

Liu Yan was already ready to face death as home and live with Linwu County, but the situation changed in the blink of an eye.

But Liu Yan was not happy at all, because he had completely seen the battle that took place outside Linwu County, and at the same time understood that the strength of the Zhou Dynasty that surrounded Linwu County was not strong. How about it, on the contrary, the newly emerged Liu Zheng is really powerful.

He was able to kill more than 2000 bandits at a very small cost, and his own losses were very small.Liu Yan asked himself, even if he controlled the same number of soldiers and horses under his command, it was impossible to defeat the troops of the Zhou Dynasty so easily.

So Liu Zheng, who was only rumored by others before, when he really saw Liu Zheng, he really made a statement, and he lived up to his name.

At the same time, Liu Yan became more and more incomprehensible to why Liu Zheng appeared here and what purpose he had, and his whole face was very gloomy.

Liu Zheng, who has been brewing emotions for a long time, has been thinking about how to speak to Liu Yan on the tower. He paced back and forth and still couldn't say hello to Liu Yan.

On the contrary, it was Liu Yan on the city tower who saw Liu Zheng walking back and forth under the city, and knew that Liu Zheng seemed to have something to say.

And he took the initiative to ask Liu Zheng.

"Liu Zhengqu is handsome, really strong. He defeated that group of bandits in the blink of an eye. It really opened my eyes. If the general joins the court, he will definitely become the pillar of the country in the future."

When Liu Zheng heard Liu Yan's words, the corner of his mouth just smiled faintly. He had heard too many such words.

Ever since he joined the Yellow Turban Army and fought for himself, all the officers and soldiers who fought against him had said this, but he would not believe these officers and soldiers at all.

Not only did most of the Yellow Turban thieves who took refuge in the official army end badly, it was also because Liu Zheng had already made preparations to kill Emperor Han. According to General He Jin, Emperor Han died at the hands of Liu Zheng.
