Xiaoguan, school ground, martial arts field.
Zhao Yun mobilized the jade lion to rush towards Lu Bu. At a distance of ten feet, the bright silver spear suddenly stabbed out, like a sudden arrow, catching people off guard.
Lu Bu sat down with the red rabbit horse motionless. Fang Tian shot the halberd from the other side, knocking Li Li off with a shot. He took advantage of the situation and pushed with his left hand holding the halberd base, and stabbed out.
Zhao Yun, who was forced by the blow in a row, raised his spear to block. The moment the two weapons collided, Zhao Yun made the spear head get stuck on the surface of the halberd with great precision, and then pulled Fang Tian's painted halberd to spin in the void.
This move relies on force but not gravity, and relies on incomparable ingenuity. In the process of being pulled away, the opposing warrior will gradually lose control of the weapon, and then launch a sudden attack.
Just when Zhao Yun felt that the timing was just right, the two rotating weapons suddenly stopped, and then began to rotate in the opposite direction, and he was pulled in the opposite direction.
Zhao Yun's heart sank. Marquis Wen had so much strength that he quickly withdrew his spear before the momentum died down. Then he took a step forward with the help of his horse, and the bright silver spear stabbed from up, down, left, and right in different directions.
A scene that stunned everyone present appeared. The bright silver gun seemed to be given life in Zhao Yun's hands. It was obviously a big deviation, but the gun head could twist spiritually and point around Lu Bu.
"Is this Phoenix's nod?" Gan Ning frowned and took a breath of cold air.
"Yes, the Phoenix nodded, and hundreds of birds moved toward the seventh position of the Phoenix Spear." Zhang Xiu, whose arms were still wrapped with forged cloth, tried to keep his voice calm and calm.
In fact, his heart was bursting because he knew very well how difficult it was to launch this move.
The Phoenix Nod itself uses the flexibility of the gun barrel to twist the gun head, making every attack unpredictable.
A single use requires accumulating energy, but Zhao Yun actually fired seven or eight times in a row, all using Phoenix Nod. Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly in his heart, Master, did you hide your secret back then? This junior brother is too unfaithful. .
From their angle, they could only see waves of afterimages. Ordinary people would have too much trouble catching the trajectory of the bright silver spear, but the heavy Fang Tian Painted Halberd in Lu Bu's hand could not lose to Zhao Yun in terms of speed. One cannot be resolved by him.
Gan Ning shook his head nonchalantly, what kind of monster is this? At one time, he thought that I was invincible under Marquis Wen. It seems that he misunderstood.
This kind of competition is very interesting. For example, Lin Mo, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, would just keep shouting: Damn, damn, awesome!
But Gan Ning, Zhang Xiu and Gao Shun were different. They knew exactly what was going on on the battlefield, and how skilled the attackers and defenders were in every move. Therefore, besides being dumbfounded, they seemed to be unable to find any words to explain. Express inner horror.
"Junior brother's martial arts skills are as good as those of Marquis Wen." Obviously everyone was practicing Bainiaochaofengqiang, but he envied Zhao Yun for being able to use it so flexibly, and he was impressed by his various variations of moves.
"What a handsome marksmanship, Zilong is really a fierce general in the world." Even Gao Shun, who was paralyzed, couldn't help but be speechless.
Thirty years later, Zhao Yun's path was basically figured out by Lu Bu, and he began to fight back.
Fang Tian's painted halberd is as flexible as the bright silver spear, and can be twisted from various angles to activate the phoenix nod, and the collision of the two weapons creates bursts of sparks.
If the bright silver gun can pierce out blossoms of gun flowers and bursts of afterimages when activated at full speed, then Lu Bu's state at this time is that Fang Tian's halberd seems to be split into two out of thin air, and there are many halberd shadows around him.
"It's unbelievable. My brother Yun is so handsome. He is just as good as my father-in-law!" Lin Mo felt that brother Yun was more handsome than his father-in-law, so he started to be biased.
Moreover, Zhao Yun at this moment still lacks the baptism of a big battle, and is definitely still some distance away from his peak state.
If he were really at his peak, it's hard to say whether the old father-in-law could win.
Lu Lingqi, who had never thought of crossing her arms, shook her head, "Father only used six or seven points of strength at most."
"Ling'er, you are a bit partial." Lin Mo said he didn't believe it. After all, in his opinion, even if the two of them were going all out, they wouldn't have retained so much.
Lu Lingqi just smiled indifferently and did not argue with Lin Mo. The latter glanced at her and said with a strange expression: "Are you serious? Is your father-in-law giving way to Zilong?"
"No."
Lu Lingqi shook her head, "He doesn't dare to use his full strength."
"Why?"
"Because the halberd skills my father practiced were all murderous moves. If he really tried his best, he might not be able to stop himself."
Lin Mo recalled that whether it was Lujiang defeating Gan Ning or Guangling defeating Sun Ce, the old father-in-law didn't use many moves at all, and there was really no way to judge what state he was in with full firepower.
After fifty rounds, both of them stopped, and Lu Bu took Fang Tian's painted halberd back, "Okay, now you should be satisfied."
After receiving Cao Cao's letter agreeing to stop the war and fight against Yuan together, Lu Bu returned the eight thousand prisoners to Cao Cao. He also started to withdraw his troops very faithfully. Therefore, everyone in Xiaoguan City is now in a good mood.
Naturally, Lu Bu also had this leisurely time to practice with Zhao Yun.
"Marquis Wen is superb in martial arts, I'm impressed by you." After Zhao Yun dismounted, he cupped his fists and bowed.
The hearty martial arts performance this time finally convinced Zhao Yun that the gap between himself and Lu Bu was real, and it was not small.
The speed and spear skills that he was most proud of were useless in front of Lu Bu, because his speed was on par with his own, and his attainments in halberd skills were even higher than his own.
What made Zhao Yun feel powerless the most was the problem of strength. He could clearly feel that Lu Bu had restrained himself after several struggles. Otherwise, the armor could be sure from the numbness in his hands every time the weapons collided. If he exerted all his strength, , I estimate that I won’t be able to survive a hundred rounds.
"Your marksmanship"
Lu Bu also jumped off the red rabbit horse, walked up to Zhao Yun, looked at his bright silver spear, and thought for a while, "It looks extremely sharp, and it is well prepared for both offense and defense, and it is enough to fight in front of the battle.
But if I really want you to rush into the crowd of thousands of troops, you can't open and close it like my halberd method, and bring fear to the enemy as quickly as possible. "
Zhao Yun lowered his head and pondered. Indeed, even if Xiao Guan rushed to Cao Ying, most of the time he would use point stabs and it would be difficult to kill on a large scale. "I wonder if Marquis Wen can give me some advice?"
Lu Bu groped his chin, and after thinking seriously for a while, he replied: "Actually, whether it's spear, halberd or sword skills, all of them lead to the same goal by different paths. You can look at people who are good at using swords." How to rush into battle and kill the enemy? Try to integrate the essence of sword skills into this set of marksmanship, maybe.
Maybe you can figure out a set of marksmanship that is more suitable for you. "
Incorporate the essence of swordsmanship into the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear
Brand new shooting skills, more suitable for my shooting skills
Lu Bu's advice made Zhao Yun thoughtful.
"alright!"
Lu Bu ignored him, clapped his hands and said, "Go back to Pengcheng early tomorrow morning. Let's all go back and rest."
The wonderful martial arts performance ended like this.
Due to Hao Meng's death in battle and the importance of Xiao Pass, Lu Bu did not dare to be careless even if Cao Cao retreated, and chose to let Gao Shun and Gan Ning stay to guard the pass.
In fact, the more suitable candidate for this task should be Zhang Xiu. Unfortunately, the old father-in-law has not yet fully regarded him as one of his own.
On the way back, Lu Bu was a little distracted.
It was said that he had defeated Cao Cao, but he himself didn't know what he had won.
"Yunwen, Boping handed me an account book. Do you know how much money we have to pay for the battle at Xiaoguan?"
Seeing Lin Mo shaking his head numbly, Lu Bu had a wry smile on his face, stretched out three fingers and shook them.
"Thirty thousand to thirty thousand gold?" Lin Mo took a breath of cold air and stood up.
"The fallen soldiers need to be compensated, the injured need to be rewarded, and those who have made meritorious service need to be rewarded. Add in the lost ordnance, thirty thousand gold is already a small amount."
He looked at Lin Mo and clenched his hands in annoyance, "Do you think this traitor Cao is hateful? He actually imitated us in the two states and rented many curved shaft plows and keel waterwheels. Now that there is no war, I think You should think of a way, preferably some unique skills that others can’t steal.”
The meaning of the old father-in-law's words is already very obvious, that is, future inventions must be oriented towards both strengthening oneself and at the same time having technical barriers.
This difficulty is actually not small.
For example, whether it is glass or sugar, there are technical barriers, but in the end they are just trying to harvest the wool of powerful families. Although they can make some money, they are far from being strong.
An invention must be able to achieve results in a short period of time and cannot be imitated.
Lin Mo's mind was searching for some modern and practical things from the past life that could be invented in this era and also had technical barriers.
Judging from the current situation in Xuyang and Erzhou, if you really want to talk about invention, you have to start from the agricultural aspect. For other things, even if you can make some money, it will be difficult to improve your overall strength in the short term.
Especially next year when he has to fight Yuan Shao, this point is imminent.
"By the way, the wedding day for you and Ling'er is not far away. Now you are the Marquis of Lanling. With the strength of our two states, I have sent posts to all the major families. This is a big event and must be solemn.
You don’t have to worry about accepting gifts, asking for elders, accepting gifts, and asking for dates. The official of praying for good luck will do it for you. However, you have to do the etiquette yourself such as the dress, the toilet, and the banquet. You just have to learn it well. Mo made a joke then. "
When it comes to the wedding of his daughter and son-in-law, the old father-in-law starts to chatter endlessly.
It was really troublesome for the ancients to get married, and there were a lot of etiquette.
Lin Mo nodded, not daring to object, "Master Yue-in, please rest assured, but the first thing after returning home is that we must go find Xu Shu together."
Lu Bu smiled noncommittally, "I said I was willing to invite him in person, and you still want to come with me. Is he so important?"
"Important, very important, very important!" Say important things three times.
"Is it possible that his talent is still higher than Jia Wenhe's?" Lu Bu rarely saw Lin Mo's attitude.
Lin Mo blinked. The two of them had never fought each other, but in terms of strategy, they were probably between brothers. But in terms of mental skills, Xu Shu probably couldn't compare to the old swindler.
"That's not important, the important thing is."
Lin Mo paused for a while and said in a deep voice: "He is related to whether our army can win this unequal battle with Yuan Shao."
Hearing this, Lu Bu immediately reined in the reins, causing the red rabbit horse to neigh loudly in fright.
He looked at Lin Mo with a horrified expression and said, "Yunwen, how can he have such powerful means?"
Lu Bu's heart was like a huge stone being thrown into the lake, causing ripples in circles, making it difficult to calm down.
That was Yuan Shao, with an army of hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands of cavalry, thousands of chariots, and an astronomical amount of food, grass and money.
Even though he threw himself into the battle with all his might, and with the help of Lin Mo's resourcefulness, Lu Bu felt that this battle was indeed difficult.
A mere poor student from Ziyang Academy turned out to be a key figure in success or failure!
If that's the case, wouldn't his talent still surpass that of my son-in-law?
"Then it depends on how to use it."
Lin Mo smiled casually and said: "When the time comes, our husband-in-law will have to cooperate well again."
I vaguely remember that when he defected to Liu Bei, it was for the title of imperial uncle and the title of Kuangjun and auxiliary of the country. In his heart, he should be similar to Xun Yu, and he was extremely loyal to the Han Dynasty.
Lin Mo guessed that his ability to enter Ziyang Academy was related to the appeal and the Han Emperor's blood edict sent by Liu Bei.
In any case, the old father-in-law is also a hero of the Han Dynasty who killed the national thief Dong Zhuo, and his reputation as the pillar of the Han Dynasty is definitely confirmed.
In addition, there is Liu Ziyang, a descendant of the Han Dynasty who is more famous than Liu Bei, and these things are bundled together, which is really exciting.
However, after all, this incident would insult the integrity that scholars like Xu Shu valued most, so a drama was inevitable.
"This is easy to handle. If we, Weng and son-in-law, join forces, Wen Ze will have to bow down, let alone Xu Shu." Lu Bu said, I am not a helper, I have rich experience.
After a while, he remembered another thing, "By the way Yunwen, speaking of Xu Shu, when I asked you why you wanted to kill him, you also mentioned a person's name, Zhuge Liang of Jingzhou, right?
There are not many people you can remember. One is Zilong, the other is Ziyang, and Xu Shu. How about I write a few letters to Zhuge Liang? "
Lin Moqian laughed twice. The old Liu family still wanted to visit the thatched cottage. How could you convince him with a few letters? Zhuge Liang said, "I'm afraid he may not be tempted. Anyway, Liu Bei hasn't gotten to know him yet. Maybe he can be used as a guide later." For your own use.”
Lin Mo's idea was to keep Wuhou as a last resort. Not to mention his military skills and strategies, his ability to govern the country was also a talent he was in urgent need of in the future.
If everything really develops in the most ideal direction, that is, after defeating Yuan Shao, defeating Cao Cao, and swallowing up the six states of the Central Plains, then it is natural to ask him to come out.
And this was just Lin Mo's wishful thinking, because Lao Yue couldn't agree. He rolled his eyes, secretly feeling that something was wrong.
Because, Liu Bei is still in Xinye, and there are very few people who can make my son-in-law praise him full of praise. Don't let these two people get together, it will cause trouble in the future.
In addition to seizing Xuzhou, the battle between Anfeng and Liu Bei also tricked Liu Bei. Needless to say, the two families were already on the same page.
Even if you don't cause trouble for Liu Bei, once this guy rises, he will definitely cause trouble for you.
He also remembered that after Liu Bei's defeat, he didn't care about his death at all, but his son-in-law still sent people to investigate Liu Bei's whereabouts, because he was worried that this guy would settle the score later.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Bu felt that he should eliminate the root cause.
You, Liu Bei, are not weak in martial arts, and you have Guan Zhang by your side. It would be impossible to assassinate you.
But is it still possible to kill Zhuge Liang, a Confucian scholar?
Yes, when we return to Pengcheng, we will arrange for a few assassins to go find Zhuge Liang.
It's just a side matter, there's no need to discuss it with his son-in-law, Lu Bu thought.
