Governor please stay

"Then you can send a letter and tell King Wu that I am willing to single out the Shangdang before the battle."

Yao Fen chuckled and gave Yao Nanzong a malicious look.

……

"My lord, this person has put his nose on his face, please let me go into battle, and single-handedly kill this servant!"

In front of Yangtou Mountain, Yang Xiuzhi, who came from Jiankang in a hurry, read the letter sent by Yao Nanzong in the tent of the Liang army in front of Yangtou Mountain.

"No need, you go out and tell Yao Nanzong to let him go back, just say that I agree to this matter, the man promises a thousand gold. After five days, we will be singled out in front of Yangtou Mountain."

Liu Yishou waved his hand indifferently, he couldn't really let Yang Xiuzhi rush out to fight Yao Nanzong one-on-one, it's not sure who will pick who.Yang Xiuzhi's situation is like a domestic dog on a leash arguing with a ferocious stray dog ​​outside.

When the dog was on a leash, it barked extremely ferociously, as if it was going to rush out to fight.However, once the owner loosens the dog chain, the domestic dog will immediately behave well in front of the stray dogs, appearing harmless to humans and animals.

After Yang Xiuzhi went out, Liu Yishou looked at Hu Luxian, who had just become a father, and asked, "King Shaqiu, have you forgotten your archery skills?"

"Returning to my lord, I dare not slack off in the slightest."

Hu Luxian bowed his hands calmly and bowed. After his marriage, his youthfulness has faded, and his temperament is no different from those calm generals.This time I came with Yang Xiuzhi to attack Shangdang.

"I have something to trouble you to do, and it must be done well."

Liu Yishou let Hu Lvxian listen to him, and Didi gurgled for a long time.

"Your subordinate will do it now." Hu Luxian simply took the order and left.

After everyone left, Liu Yishou yawned boredly. He was powerless to complain about Yao Nanzong's thoughts.

What age is this, and you still play the one-on-one game before the battle?Just grab Yao Nanzong and write "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the future.

Chapter 689

Regarding the affiliation of the Shangdang, Liu Yishou very "benevolently" proposed that the winner be singled out, so as to prevent the soldiers from being killed or injured in vain on the battlefield.

Yao Fen "gladly" agreed, and lined up in front of Yangtou Mountain with more than ten thousand pieces.

The two armies faced each other, with colorful flags fluttering, in silence and solemnity.According to the agreement, the soldiers on both sides did not bring weapons, and the atmosphere between them seemed very friendly.

However, Yao Fen looked at Liu Yishou, who was gentle, outstanding, and extremely refined, and for a moment didn't know whether to say that the other party was "true benevolence and righteousness" or whether he was out of his mind.As far as the opponent's physique is concerned, Yao Fen can beat ten of them alone!I'm afraid this kind of person can't even beat ordinary soldiers!

"Your Highness is singled out in front of the battle without wearing armor. How can Yao take advantage of this! Come on, take off the armor!"

Yao Fen rode up to Liu Yishou, bowed respectfully on the horse, and gave orders to his subordinates.

The soldiers behind Yao Fen were also in awe of Liu Yishou. It is really interesting that the King of Wu went into battle without armor!

"General Yao, you must have misunderstood. In the letter, the king only mentioned the one-on-one battle before the battle, and did not mention the duel between the two protagonists, let alone the battle in person."

Liu Yishou, who was riding on a horse, looked at Yao Fen with a look of surprise, as if caring for the mentally handicapped.

"Didn't you say anything?"

Yao Fen was startled, and immediately beckoned Yao Nanzong to come over. He opened Liu Yishou's autographed letter and saw that it did not say that Liu Yishou was going to fight in person.

However, when meeting Yao Nanzong back then, Liu Yishou did joke with Yao Nanzong and said, "I really can't do it, I will fight with your brother one-on-one".The letter did not clearly state who was going to fight, and it was said in a joking way in person, so Yao Nanzong directly equated the letter with "joking words".

This made Yao Fen think that Liu Yishou would go into battle in person.You say that Liu Yishou is not keeping his promises. The black and white words are there, and it seems that he is not cheating.

"General Yao, it's common practice for the two armies to fight in front of the battle. However, has there ever been a battle between the two main generals? If the main general can fight the world, then what's the use of the people under his command?"

Liu Yishou asked solemnly, so that Yao Fen didn't know how to answer for a while.

He can't say "I just bully you and you can't beat me".If you really say it, you will offend people to death.

Besides, what Liu Yishou said really made sense.It is indeed common for the two armies to fight in front of the battle, but it is just to improve their own morale, and they seldom place bets.However, it never happened once that the main generals fought each other to determine the outcome of the battle.

Even if there is, it is a long time ago, I am afraid it will be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period.

In front of so many people, did Yao Fen have the guts to invite Liu Yishou to "head-to-head"?The other party didn't say that he must be the main general to fight on his side!

After suffering from being dumb, Yao Fen finally realized how powerful Liu Yishou was. This powerful King of Liang and Wu really didn't get his name in vain, and there were endless coin tricks.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, the army has been pulled over, it is obviously difficult to ride a tiger, and it will be impossible not to fight.

"How does Your Highness want to compete? What are the rules?"

Yao Fen asked in a deep voice, not thinking about anything else.

"General Yao can choose either literary combat or martial combat."

Liu Yishou said calmly, not showing any anger.

Is there Wendou?

Yao Fen was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Liu Yishou was so fussy.

"What is Wendou, what is Wudou?"

"The so-called martial arts means that there are generals fighting in front of the formation. Life and death are a matter of life. The weapons are optional except for bows and crossbows. Only when one side falls down and cannot fight will the winner be considered."

Liu Yishou spoke cruel words in a calm tone.

Obviously, if there is a fight, someone must die.It is a matter of party affiliation. Even if you are injured, you have to persevere. Even if you are in dire straits, you can't stop. If you fail, you can only "apology with death."

Yao Fen originally had the intention of surrendering, and in the heads-up, he just hoped that his opponent would "account for something".Death and injury are unavoidable in the case of martial arts. Whether it is killing Liu Yishou's people or his own generals, he doesn't feel very good. There is no need to lose his life on this occasion.

"What about Wendou?"

Yao Fen asked in a deep voice, he didn't intend to consider Wudou anymore, as long as Wendou is not better than poetry, it should be better than this Wudou.

"The so-called Wen Dou, each side sends out one person to shoot birds in the sky. The king prepared a hundred birds. When the birds were released from the cage, the archers from both sides began to rush to shoot. The bows and arrows on both sides were painted with different colors to show the difference. Whoever shoots down Whoever has more birds wins.

How does General Yao think that the winner can be determined without harming human life? "

Anyway, Yao Fen just thought, wouldn't one hundred birds be too many?

"Your Highness, I think fifty is enough."

Yao Fen said embarrassingly, his arms were shaking when he shot to the back, how could he have the strength to continue shooting the bird, can he hit it?

As if seeing Yao Fen's little trick, Liu Yishou said meaningfully: "Men, the persistence of strength is very important. When you can't go into battle, you will be strong, but you will not be able to do it later. A hundred birds are enough. .What are archers who can’t even shoot fifty arrows do?”

Being slapped in the face, Yao Fen was too embarrassed to veto it, so he nodded slightly and said, "Then follow what King Wu said, let's release a hundred birds." , order him to go out and fight.

"Uh, if it's a fight, who will King Wu fight?"

Suddenly Yao Fen couldn't help asking a question that had nothing to do with archery.

"Well, it's him."

Liu Yishou pointed to Peng Le who was not far away where the old god was thinking.

Yao Fen gasped, he was under Er Zhurong's command back then, and Peng Le still knew who it was.Back then, as Gao Huan's younger brother, Peng Le was also the most capable under Gao Huan's subordinates, but it was a pity that he defected later.

With such a short period of time and no preparations, where can Yao Fen find a brave general who can compete with Peng Le?

"It's better to shoot arrows, it doesn't hurt harmony, it doesn't hurt harmony."

Yao Fen said with emotion, it can be seen that Liu Yishou is well prepared, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope to win in the archery competition.He explained a few words to the soldiers around him, and after a while, a soldier with sharp eyes and a straight waist walked out from the army, with a big bow on his back.

"Shoot birds as hard as you can!"

Yao Fen confessed and let this person prepare.

Liu Yishou brought Hu Luxian to him, and whispered something in his ear.Hu Luxian also went down.

"King Wu, let's start now."

Yao Fen said with a smile, as if he had a plan in mind.

"Well, let's get started."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly, but did not veto Yao Fen's suggestion.He naturally has a way to be safe, but there is no need to explain it to Yao Fen.Soldiers are never tired of cheating, and there is no end to routines.

After a while, an unknown bird the size of a sparrow was brought in a cage and brought to Yao Fen.

"Is the bird too small?"

Yao Fen asked with a strange face.

Shooting birds is completely different from shooting people, let alone fixed targets.Can such a small bird be shot?Yao Fen felt that Liu Yishou was teasing him.

"General Yao, if you feel inappropriate, you can admit defeat."

Liu Yishou said solemnly.

"Then...that's fine."

Yao Fen always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite explain it.

Chapter 690

"Rule [-], the prey is one hundred birds, whoever shoots fifty birds first wins. If neither side shoots fifty birds, the one who shoots more prey wins. The prey is not distinguished by size, only the number is counted !"

"Rule [-]: There is no limit to the number of arrows. After shooting, you can replenish the arrows in the quiver."

"Rule three, do not interfere with the opponent's archery in any way."

"With these three rules, is there any problem?"

Yang Xiuzhi yelled to the archers sent by Hu Luxian and Yaofen with a sullen face, trying to let the soldiers and generals who were watching in front of the formation also hear.In all fairness, this rule is still very fair, Yao Fen stood aside and nodded slightly, his expression slightly relaxed.

The archers and archers he dispatched this time are very good. He has been a hunter since he was a child and made a living in the mountains and forests.Not to mention victory, at least one has the strength to fight.

"His Royal Highness, let's begin."

Yao Fen came over and looked into Liu Yishou's eyes and said.

"Then start."

Liu Yishou gestured to Wei Xiaokuan who presided over the archery competition.The other party understood, and after recruiting his own soldiers and explaining carefully, he announced that the battle of arrows before the battle would begin.

When Hu Luxian and the archer entered the competition field, they heard the surrounding Liang soldiers shouting:

"Sand Sculpture King!"

"Sand Sculpture King!"

"Sand Sculpture King!"

The shouts were deafening and overwhelming.

Hu Luxian raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet.He stretched out his thumb towards the archer on Yao Fen's side, and then turned his wrist so that the thumb pointed down, which was very provocative.

It's just that the archer had to explain to Yao Fen that it was fine to shoot birds, and not to cause complications.Even if his face was flushed with anger, he could only turn his head away from seeing the other party's arrogance.

Yang Xiuzhi announced the start of the competition.

Behind the circular screen, a Liang soldier opened the bird cage, and the sparrows inside flew up instantly, flapping their wings and fleeing.Unexpectedly, two arrows shot from a distance, one of which shot it down, and the other missed it by a hair.

"Sand Sculpture King wins!"

The sergeant in charge of the inspection raised the red flag, and Yang Xiuzhi shouted loudly.

The archer on Yao Fen's side suddenly became nervous. He had already fully drawn the bow just now, and the arrow was fast and accurate. It should have hit, but it was still a beat behind.

That's right, it's slow.

If his arrow arrives first, then he hits first.The reason for the slow shooting is very simple: the sparrow is too small, and it looks like a small black spot from a distance!It took him a while to aim!

"If you admit defeat, you can end up decently. Otherwise, if you miss one of them, it will be ugly."

Hu Luxian raised his bow and taunted the archer over there.

"Humph!"

The archer snorted coldly and said nothing.In this case, it is useless to say anything to refute. The number of shots is the best counterattack.

The second round begins.

Another sparrow flew out, and the archer opposite Hu Luxian saw the sparrow, and quickly shot an arrow, but it missed!He hastily raised his bow and shot again, barely hitting the wing in a hurry. The sparrow fell to the ground and was still struggling. The inspecting soldiers raised the green flag.

This round of judgment is easy, because Hu Luxian didn't shoot at all, he was watching the scenery from the sidelines.

"Just let you take a turn."

Since then, the score has risen alternately, and Hu Luxian often deliberately does not shoot, letting the opponent shoot.Sometimes they will make a surprise attack and shoot the sparrow before the opponent's arrow arrives.He is almost deliberately controlling the score on his side.

Just shoot one or two more prey than your opponent.Whenever Hu Luxian fails to shoot, the archer on the opposite side will try his best to shoot, and if he misses, he will shoot again.In this regard, Hu Luxian watched coldly from the sidelines, and did not opportunistically grab points when the opponent made a supplementary shot.

The score has been very anxious, and the soldiers who watched the battle were thirsty, wishing that they would decide the winner immediately.

However, the seemingly tight score can only represent the balance on the table.In the competition under the table, the balance of victory and defeat has begun to tilt quietly.
