Guan Xing smiled and said: "You see the wild goose above my head, watch me shoot an arrow!" After he shot the arrow, a wild goose fell down, and all the civil and military officials cheered in unison. Zhang Bao was very angry when he saw it. He flew into a rage, took his father's eight-foot steel spear in his hand, and shouted: "Do you dare to compete with me in martial arts?"
Not to be outdone, Guan Xing said: "You can use a steel spear eight feet long, and I can't use a knife, so let's decide the winner!" So he got on his horse and accepted the challenge with his family's sword.
At this moment, Yu Daye came over, stopped the two of them, and said with a smile: "You guys are not good at archery!" After saying that, he took out his bow and arrow, and shot three at a time. He actually shot down all the geese passing behind him. After that, he took out the knife from his sleeve and shot at the geese in various postures. In an instant, dozens of geese fell on the ground. It was breathtaking. Everyone held their breath. They really didn't know how to perform such a wonderful martial arts. evaluate.
Yu Yi was also at the scene. When he saw Yu Daye's martial arts, he smiled slightly and was very proud. He smiled secretly and said: "It seems that this boy has inherited my talent!"
Yu Daye glanced at everyone, thinking about Huang Shumin's usually extremely strict teachings.
The scenery was taken up by Yu Daye, and the contradiction was naturally attracted. Guan Xing and Zhang Bao turned their horses, pointed at Yu Daye and said, "Do you dare to compete with us?"
Yu Daye also got on the horse, holding the iron halberd that Huang Shumin made for him, making a provocative gesture, and said: "The martial arts of you three-legged cats cannot reach the level of elegance, so let's go together!"
So the three of them fought together, and soon they fought for ten rounds, with no winner or loser.
The First Master was afraid that everyone would make a mistake, so he quickly stepped forward to stop him and said: "Don't be rude, third son!"
Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, and Yu Daye dismounted hurriedly, put down their weapons, and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
The First Master said: "Ever since we became sworn brothers in Taoyuan, Zhuo County, your father and I have been brothers of the opposite sex, as close as flesh and blood. Now that the three of you are very good at martial arts, you should work together, and Yu Daye should also participate. To take revenge, why should we compete with each other and lose our righteousness! Especially Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, your father passed away not long ago. If you are fighting like this now, what will you do in the future?" After hearing this, the three people quickly apologized.
At this time, Yu Yi came over, glanced at Yu Daye, and said, "You are really capable!"
Upon seeing this, Yu Daye knew that his father was preparing to take action, so he hurriedly hid behind the First Lord. With the First Lord's protection, Yu Yi had no choice but to watch Yu Daye make faces at him.
Yu Yi bowed and said: "I think if the second brother and the third brother were alive, they would be happy to see Zhang Bao and Guan Xing's outstanding martial arts. Now is also a God-given opportunity. Just like we were sworn brothers back then, I sincerely ask your majesty for your kindness." Okay, how about letting a few juniors in the next generation also become brothers?"
The First Master nodded and said: "I think so too." After speaking, he turned to ask: "Which one of you is older?"
Zhang Bao replied: "I must be one year older than Guan Xing!" So the First Lord asked Yu Daye and Zhang Bao to worship Guan Xing as their brothers. The three of them broke their bows and arrows in front of the camp and swore to protect him forever.
After the sworn alliance was over, the First Lord issued an edict to let Wu Ban serve as the vanguard, with Zhang Bao and Guan Xing as escorts. They would advance by land and water, with boats and cavalry traveling in a mighty and mighty way, and rush towards the Kingdom of Wu.
At this time, Yu Daye was unhappy and walked up to the First Master and asked, "Why don't you let me go to fight?"
The First Master looked at Yu Daye, then at Yu Yi, and said, "Just listen to your father and stay in Chengdu to guard it!"
Yu Daye refused and said: "Why can Zhang Bao and Guan Xing go out to fight, but I can't? If you don't let me go, I will sit here and not leave!"
Yu Daye was obviously no longer afraid of Yu Yi and insisted on going out to fight. This made Yu Yi think that he might have really grown up, so he walked up to the First Master and said: "In this case, it is also good to go out and exercise, so you can follow I'm going to fight, and you must obey the orders!"
Yu Daye was very happy after hearing this and followed Yu Yi away, and the eastward expedition officially began.
After Fan Jiang and Zhang Da cut off Zhang Fei's head, they rushed to Soochow overnight. When they arrived at Soochow, they presented the head and told the details. After hearing this, Sun Quan sighed and handed over the two heads. His subordinates said to everyone: "Now that Liu Bei has ascended the throne as emperor, and Yu Yi has been appointed as the king of Jingzhou, he has commanded a total of 750,000 troops and horses, and he has led a personal expedition with great momentum. What should we do?"
When Soochow heard about the number of troops, they all lost their countenance and looked at each other. Zhuge Jin stood up at this time and said: "I have been taking the salary from the emperor for a long time. I have nothing to repay. I am willing to give up the rest of my life and go to the Lord of Shu and the King of Jingzhou to persuade me with my interests to make the two countries harmonious. Let’s fight against Cao Pi’s sins together!”
Sun Quan was very happy after hearing this and immediately sent Zhuge Jin as an envoy to persuade the troops to withdraw.
In the autumn and August of the first year of Zhangwu, the First Lord arrived at Kuiguan with an army of 550,000 men, mainly stationed in Baidi City. When the front troops left the mouth of Sichuan, a nearby minister announced: "The envoy of Wu State, Zhuge Jin, has arrived!"
After the first master heard it, he sent a decree not to let him in. Huang Quan advised: "Zhuge Jin's younger brother is the prime minister in the Kingdom of Shu. He must have something important to come this time. Why should your majesty refuse? According to etiquette, you should call him in first and see how he speaks. If you can, just listen. , if that doesn’t work, let him tell Sun Quan about the situation through his mouth, and let him ask Sun Quan for the crime!”
The First Lord followed the advice and summoned Zhuge Jin into the city. Zhuge Jin knelt on the ground and the First Lord said, "You came from far away. What's the matter?"
Zhuge Jin said: "My brother has been working under your Majesty for a long time, and I did not shy away from suspicion. I came here specifically to report the affairs of Jingzhou. Before, when Guan Yu was in Jingzhou, Wu Hou proposed to marry him many times, but Guan Yu did not agree. Later, Guan Yu took Xiangyang. , Cao Cao wrote to Wu Hou many times, asking us to attack Jingzhou. Wu Hou originally disagreed because the relationship between Lu Meng and Guan Yu was not good, so he sent troops without authorization. This was the wrong thing. Now Wu Hou has no time to regret it. It was Lu Meng's fault, not Wu Hou's. Now that Lu Meng has passed away, the feud should be over. Besides, Mrs. Sun has always wanted to go home. Now Wu Hou has sent me as an envoy, willing to return the wife and surrender. Exchange the generals and let them do whatever you want, and at the same time return Jingzhou to you, and form an alliance to jointly destroy Cao Pi to prove his accusation of treason."
The First Master said angrily: "You, Soochow, have harmed my second brother. This is known to everyone. Do you still dare to come and persuade me today?"
Zhuge Jin saw that the late master was angry, so he bowed to him and said, "Please think again, first master, I will come back tomorrow." After saying that, he withdrew, and his ministers found a hotel and arranged for Zhuge Jin to stay.
This time during the Eastern Expedition, due to the late handover of the 200,000 troops and horses, it took some time to adapt to Tang Lin's army's training methods. Therefore, the First Lord's 550,000 troops went first, followed closely by the 200,000 troops commanded by Yu Yi. Followed by.
