Chapter 138
This time, Liu Yao led 10,000 black armored cavalry and 10,000 cavalry led by Gongsun Xu as the vanguard.
Sun Jian led 10,000 Jiangdong men, and Gongsun Zan led his 3,000 white horse volunteers and Youzhou army, totaling 10,000 people.
The three parties added up to more than 40,000 people.
Along the way, the cavalry under Liu Yao's command, especially the black armored heavy cavalry wearing bright armor, had stern faces and steady steps. They advanced as accurately as machines, and every step revealed the discipline and majesty that should not be underestimated. This is not only a march, but also a silent but shocking display.
And Gongsun Zan's troops are not much behind, with neat and uniform formations, like a winding but orderly dragon, shuttling between mountains and rivers. Their march is so orderly, as if every sound of the horse's hoof falls accurately on the pulse of time, steady and powerful.
On the other hand, the situation on Sun Jian's side was quite different. After a moment, a noisy sound could be heard in the team, like ripples on a calm lake stirred by the breeze, gradually spreading. The soldiers' steps began to become chaotic, and the formation also seemed fragmented. If it weren't for Huang Gai and other generals trying their best to maintain it, I'm afraid that at this moment, they would have lost the basic form of an army and become a mess.
However, a young general who was galloping back and forth on the front line attracted Liu Yao's attention.
He looked only about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his eyes were very similar to Sun Jian. He was wearing armor and holding a spear, constantly scolding the Jiangdong soldiers. That fierce temperament made the Jiangdong soldiers dare not say anything more, and they could only do it obediently.
Brother Wen Tai, who is this heroic young man in front of you? "Liu Yao's eyes were full of curiosity. He raised his hand gently and pointed to the heroic young general beside him.
"Oh, this is my son, Sun Ce, whose name is Bofu. He is only sixteen years old. He has been fond of martial arts since he was a child. He has been diligent and practiced hard day and night. This time I specially brought him with me, hoping that he can take this opportunity to broaden his horizons and appreciate the world, and no longer be confined to a corner of the world and become a frog in the well. "
Gongsun Zan nodded in approval.
"Brother Wentai, this move is really far-sighted. For Bofu, it is undoubtedly a great tempering and blessing. "
"Thinking back then, my son Gongsun Xu was also in my Youzhou. Thanks to my teaching, he has experienced several years of wind and rain. It happened that my brother Ziyi wanted to lead an expedition to wipe out the threat of foreign races, so I resolutely sent Xu'er to his army, hoping that he could temper his will in the flames of war and grow into a real iron-blooded man. "
"The young eagle must suffer setbacks before it can soar into the sky." After saying this, Gongsun Zan looked at Gongsun Xu, who was leading an army, with some pride.
Seeing this, Sun Ce waved his hand hurriedly.
"Come, Bofu, come and meet your two uncles!"
Although Liu Yao's age is much different from Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian, they are now one of the eighteen princes and can be regarded as colleagues. Sun Ce is his son, and Liu Yao's status is here. According to seniority, it is also appropriate for his son to call Liu Yao uncle.
Hearing this, Sun Ce walked steadily, with a gleam of admiration in his eyes, and bowed and saluted: "Nephew Bofu, meet the two uncles. I have long heard that my two uncles have made great achievements in Bingzhou and Youzhou, resisted foreign tribes in the north, and were feared by all. I have long admired them. Today, I have seen their true faces and realized their heroic spirit. They are indeed famous and not false! "
"I hope that my two uncles can give me more advice in the future. "Sun Ce said as he looked at Liu Yao with an admiring look.
In this vast territory of the Han Dynasty, who among the young talents does not know the name of Liu Yao? His deeds are like bright stars, illuminating the dream path in the hearts of countless people. Every aspiring young man dreams of being like Liu Yao, making achievements and going down in history.
How many people hope to join Liu Yao's army and establish immortal achievements.
Liu Yao raised a playful arc at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were deeply locked on Sun Ce. This little tyrant who was about to set off a storm in Jiangdong, even Cao Cao praised him for his "lion's courage, it is difficult to compete with him". But now, he called himself uncle in an almost humble manner. "Haha, nephew Sun, you are young and promising, let me, your uncle, take a good look at you. "
After saying this, Liu Yao stretched out his right hand leisurely, with a bit of unintentional majesty in his movements, and gently but firmly placed it on Sun Ce's shoulder.
At that moment, it seemed as if even the air had frozen. Sun Ce on horseback trembled slightly, and his face instantly lost its color and became extremely pale. Liu Yao's palm, like an iron clamp, tightly grasped Sun Ce's shoulder blade, and a subtle but clear sound came from between the bones, as if foreshadowing a certain power contest that could reach its peak at any time.The limit is heart-pounding.
Half of Sun Ce's body was numb, as if countless tiny needles were moving under every inch of his skin. The pain and numbness were intertwined and indescribable. He wanted to speak, but he was afraid that once the long-suppressed cry of pain was released, it would surge out like a tide, swallowing up this delicate confrontation and dignity.
This stalemate lasted for five minutes, as if it was a century.
Finally, a subtle relaxation flashed in Liu Yao's eyes. He slowly loosened his shackle-like hands, and his movements were both unquestionable.
Sun Ce was sweating and soaking wet at this moment. He sat stiffly on the horse's back, unable to move at all, but his eyes flashed with an unyielding light.
Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan stood side by side. When their eyes met, they both saw through Liu Yao's actions and understood the deep meaning of Liu Yao's move. They knew that this was not only a test of Sun Ce's martial arts, but also a test of his character and will.
Oh, young talent, excellent bones, and extraordinary endurance, given time, he will become a great man. "Liu Yao, on the side, drew a satisfied arc at the corner of his mouth, his praise was overflowing, and his voice was full of expectations for the younger generation.
"Bo Fu, as your uncle, I still have to tell you a few words."
"The road ahead is full of thorns. If you want to defeat an enemy stronger than yourself, the first thing to do is to "endure". Only by enduring the pain for a while and the pain of thousands of arrows piercing your heart can you find a chance to survive in despair and do things that ordinary people cannot do. "
"Indeed, on the battlefield, brave generals are like swords out of their sheaths, indispensable, but thinking carefully and thinking twice before doing anything is also the only way to defeat the enemy. "
Sun Ce's expression froze when he heard this, and then he bowed and clasped his fists, performing a great ceremony, his voice sonorous and powerful: "Uncle's good advice is like a morning bell and an evening drum, awakening the deaf. Bo Fu must keep it in mind, reflect on himself from time to time, and take every step carefully to live up to his uncle's high expectations. "
