Chapter 41: Cui An vs. Xu Zhongkang
When Cao Cao saw that hello to several people, he had finished his work, and he had already said everything he should say. In the end, he spoke...
Although Cao Cao does not have many people in Jingzhou now, he is the most powerful and strongest after all, which is recognized. And there is another thing that he and Ma Chao once had the best relationship and were most familiar with him, so Sun Ce agreed to Cao Cao's words. You see, some places, Sun Ce must argue with reason, but in this scene, of course, it doesn't matter if he is silent.
At this time, Cao Cao smiled at Ma Chao, "Hahaha! Meng Qi, everything you should say has been said, we will all go back now, we will see the difference on the battlefield! How about it?"
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Ma Chao also laughed and said, "Hahaha! Brother Meng De's words are integrated into my will. Let's see you on the battlefield!"
Although this place is already on the battlefield, it is obvious that the two of them meant to fight against each other. After that, Sun Ce and Liu Bei also bowed to Ma Chao, and Ma Chao also bowed to both of them. So in this way, the few people returned.
-----------------------------------------------------
After they all returned to the team, Ma Chao said to everyone, "Who will fight to face the enemy?"
Cui An next to him said, "Lord, I want to go there!"
When Ma Chao saw it, he thought that if Cui An wants to join, he probably won’t be able to come out. But this matter may not be necessary, and people can still be there, this...
Ma Chao thought that Cui An had always been so busy for him. This time he finally had such an opportunity, and you said you wouldn't let him go. This was obviously unreasonable. Moreover, when Cui An said this, others immediately didn't make any noise. Even if there were a few people, they originally wanted to go, but when they saw Cui An requested to go to the battle, if they asked for a fight, wouldn't they offend this old man?
Ma Chao also noticed this. So he understood that he would rather let Cui An go, so he said to him: "Okay. This battle is Fuda, I don't worry!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Cui An smiled when he heard this, and then said to Ma Chao: "Lord, just look at it. This matter is covered by me!"
Ma Chao shook his head with a smile. He was not afraid of Cui An. After all, his ability was there, so it was definitely nothing. He was relieved, but he didn't know who could fight.
After Ma Chao said to Cui An, he was more careful, and Cui An slapped his horse and danced his halberd, running towards the two armies.
When he arrived in front of the formation, Cui An shouted. "Cui An, Liangzhou Army, who came to fight?"
Cui An's voice was definitely not small, which made people hear clearly. When Cao Cao saw that the other party was Cui An, he frowned, but he immediately stretched out. This battle may be the only battle today, so he must not lose morale. On the other side of Sun Ce and Liu Bei, the force of the military was still not as good as his own, so he must have to take action.
-----------------------------------------------------
At this time, Sun Ce and Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao and asked him to tell him what kind of martial arts skills Cui An was. Both of them knew that Sun Ce knew that no one could beat Cui An. Maybe he could do it, but could he go there? And he might not be able to beat others.
As for Liu Bei, Liu Bei felt that Wen Chou should be able to compete with Cui An twice, and he was eager to try it out like this, but Liu Bei didn't like to show at this time. Moreover, in his opinion, Cao Cao had a lot of talents, so he should be the best at this time. Liu Bei knew in his heart that Cao Cao wanted to show that he was a strong soldier in front of everyone, and he wanted to have a good look at him and Sun Ce. Their Yanzhou army was strong and full of talents.
So he looked at Cao Cao like Sun Ce, but what was different from Sun Ce was that Liu Bei was a bit bad and wanted Cao Cao to work hard, even to joke with him in Yanzhou army, while Sun Ce really thought that no one of his subordinates was Cui An's opponent.
When Cao Cao saw that he understood what the two meant, he gave them a reassuring look.
-----------------------------------------------------
Although none of the three of them spoke, they all understood the meaning in their eyes.
Sun Ce and Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao, saying, "You are the master of the Yanzhou Army." Cao Cao's eyes meant, OK, look at my Yanzhou Army, and this battle will be left to us."
After Sun Ce and Liu Bei saw Cao Cao's eyes, they felt relieved. Sun Ce was really relieved, and Liu Bei thought in his heart, would you, Cao Mengde, don't send someone to fight against Cui Fuda? I want to see, can you really compete with others?
If Cui An has been famous for many years, it seems that he has never heard of any defeats except for dealing with Lu Bu. Of course, there are not many people in this single-handed fight, and this is right. But that's the case, they are famous, how many of your Yanzhou army are their opponents.
Let’s talk about Liu Bei’s understanding, that is, Guan Yu and Xu Chu can do it, but any one of them may not be able to beat others, but they cannot join together. You think it’s dealing with Lu Bu, so...
-----------------------------------------------------
Liu Bei is indeed not so optimistic about Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army.
Liu Bei's ability cannot be considered too small, and his vision can be said to be quite accurate, which is generally recognized.
Of course, Cao Cao and Sun Ce didn't know what Liu Xuande and Uncle Liu was thinking. In Cao Cao's opinion, only his subordinates could defeat Cui An. As for Sun Ce, it was even simpler. There was no one on his side. Zhang Liao must be no match for Cui Fuda. He couldn't go on. Liu Bei had a Wen Chou, but Liu Xuande didn't mean that, saying that he wanted to go on Wen Chou, so it was only the general of Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army who took action.
And Sun Ce also knew that Guan Yu and Xu Chuke were both top-notch martial arts. Even if they really lost to Cui An, they would not have any mistakes. Isn’t it? What’s more, Sun Ce didn’t think they would lose to Cui An. After all, Sun Ce’s martial arts was not a big deal. He could feel what the ability of several people were.
-----------------------------------------------------
After giving Sun Ce and Liu Bei a reassuring look, Cao Cao said to his subordinates around him, "Everyone, who will go out to fight on behalf of our army?"
This battle is of course very important to Cao Cao. After all, whether it can improve his morale depends on his performance in the battle with Cui An. Moreover, even Sun Ce and Liu Bei know about it, he, the lord, is naturally more clear. He also knows that now his subordinates, Guan Yu and Xu Chu can fight Cui An, and the others will be given in vain.
When he asked this, he naturally hoped that one of the two could go out to fight. However, Cao Cao asked again, but no one spoke. This made Cao Cao feel embarrassed. After all, what he said to his subordinates, and there were so many people listening to him. Even Sun Ce, Liu Bei and their subordinates could hear it clearly. You said that when you asked yourself, no one spoke. Isn’t this obviously embarrassing to be your lord?
So Cao Cao's face sank at this time and said to everyone: "What, because the other party is Cui An and Cui Fuda, don't you dare to fight? Could it be that I'll fight in person? If so, come and take me..."
-----------------------------------------------------
Needless to say, everyone knew what Cao Cao said later, and they just asked the soldiers to bring his spear over.
Yes, Cao Cao's real weapon is the spear, which has not been used for a long time, and it has not been used. He has always used the Sword of the Heavenly Sword, and when he uses weapons to kill people, it is a very rare one. After all, he said this, just agitating the general.
So before he could finish his words, he heard someone interrupt Cao Cao and said, "Lord, please fight!"
When Cao Cao saw that the person who spoke was his general, Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang. To be honest, Cao Cao did not expect Guan Yu to take the initiative to ask for battle against Cui An. Even Cui An, the opponent, was indeed worthy of his attention. However, Cao Cao knew in his heart that if he didn't take the initiative to talk, it would be really difficult for Guan Yu to fight.
Of course, if the opponent was replaced by Ma Chao, Guan Yu would not have to invite him himself, he would go immediately, but Cui On, this is indeed...
-----------------------------------------------------
Even though Cui An is indeed very skilled in martial arts and Guan Yu knows this in his heart, Guan Yu will never take the initiative to ask for the battle.
Cao Cao knew that the first thing was naturally because of his relationship with Guan Yu and himself and his own side, so he would not let him do this. However, Cao Cao thought that more importantly, Guan Yu would not take Cui An seriously at all.
What Cao Cao was thinking was really right. In fact, when it comes to martial arts, Guan Yu would certainly not underestimate Cui An. This is true, but he would never think that he could be his opponent. This regards the other party as his opponent, not that Cui An’s martial arts is not good, but that his brain has problems. Guan Yu naturally looked down on him, that’s it.
It can be said that Guan Yu has a lot of arrogance. If it were Ma Chao, Guan Yu would naturally think that Ma Chao could be his opponent, Cui An would not do it. Not only Ma Chao's martial arts, but his status is not to mention. Besides, for those who defeat an opponent like Ma Chao, he should be so powerful in China, and it will be true.
As for Cui An, even if he has good martial arts skills, he admits it himself, but after all, there is a problem with his brain and he cannot be regarded as his opponent.
-----------------------------------------------------
However, if Cao Cao really invites Guan Yu to fight, he will still go out to fight. After all, this initiative is one thing, but if someone comes to invite him, that is another thing. Isn't it? Guan Yu wouldn't take the initiative to fight Cui An because of the two points mentioned before. But if Cao Cao invites him, he will never refuse. In his opinion, if Cao Cao really comes to invite him, it means that no one in his account can deal with Cui An, so doesn't this mean that he is the number one general of the Yanzhou Army?
But at this time, Xu Chu asked for a fight first. Of course, Cao Cao would not refuse, so he said to Xu Chu: "Okay, let's go to Zhongkang for this battle. I don't worry! However, Cui Fuda has been famous for many years and should not be underestimated. Be careful!"
Xu Chu smiled when he heard this, and then said to his lord: "No! Cui Fuda, an old opponent. I will meet him for a while today! Look at how much he has grown over the years?"
Cao Cao really knew something about Xu Chu's past, so he smiled at Xu Chu and didn't say more.
-----------------------------------------------------
Cao Cao felt that nothing he said now was useless, and he would like to see the truth from his subordinates and let them take a good look. You have Cui An and Cui Fuda, and I have Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang. And now there are only our own and Liangzhou troops, and there are also Sun and Liu coalition forces? Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande are both staring at him, so don’t let them see their own jokes.
After Xu Chu finished speaking, he slapped his horse and danced his sword. With the sound of his own war drums, he took Cui An directly. However, he still shouted, "Cui An is so arrogant, your grandfather Xu is here to fight you!"
It has been more than ten years since the incident at the Yuzhou tavern, but Xu Chu has never forgotten it. Of course, Cui An has not forgotten it either. It should be said that Ma Chao or Guo Jia and others have not forgotten it. After all, the two of them had a fight. If Ma Chao had not stopped Cui An later, he and Xu Chu would not have had to fight until when.
In fact, the martial arts of the two should be similar. They have never really fought immediately. I really don’t know. As for when I was in a tavern, I just took the lead and had not yet decided to win or lose. That was the case at that time, and I don’t know now.
-----------------------------------------------------
When Cui An saw that it was Xu Chu, he just smiled, "Hahaha! Xu Lao Gui, you dare to come out, see if your Grandpa Cui won't beat you!"
Cui An would definitely not forget what happened back then, and he had always been upset, but he never had the chance to fight Xu Chu again, so he was very happy when Xu Chu came out today. The grudges of more than ten years depended on today. Cui An was not afraid of being afraid, and he didn't care who would come. However, he really wanted to be like this when Xu Chu could fight.
When Xu Chu heard this, he shouted: "Don't talk too much about the nigger, look at grandpa's big knife!"
As he said that, Xu Chu had already rode his horse to Cui An, and then rushed towards Cui An with one sword. Xu Chu was skilled in martial arts and skillful in swordsmanship, not to mention the speed, and was definitely first-class and top-notch.
Since Lu Bu died, there have been no first-class generals in the world, so the most powerful one is first-class martial arts. So it can be said that the level is not much different. So if you really want to decide the winner, you basically don’t have to think about one or two hundred rounds.
-----------------------------------------------------
Unless there is a mistake and then caught by the opponent, you can decide the winner immediately. Otherwise, it is true. Don’t think about the winner and lose. After all, this matter is not ordinary, and you can easily decide the winner and lose.
Now isn't that the case with Cui An and Xu Chu? Even if they want to solve their opponent as soon as possible, they will kill the opponent directly, at least they will win and the opponent will lose. But they think well, but in fact, after the fight, they are really "a match for the opponent, and they will meet good talents". The two of them have a match and are not sure of the winner.
The two of them were also very anxious, and everyone behind them was also a little anxious. Yes, it was more anxious than those on the field. After all, this first battle was related to the morale of both armies, so of course they could not pay attention to it, so...
However, the two of them were not idle in their mouths during the fight. After all, their grudges have been for more than ten years. Although they are indeed so weak now, the so-called "the enemy is extremely jealous when they meet". Although they are not deadly enemies or bloody hatreds, there are indeed festivals. Moreover, both of them are still impressed and resentful when they happened.
-----------------------------------------------------
So because of this, the two of them certainly "don't give in on the spot and raise their hands without mercy." It can be said that they are killing each other, and they want to rest in the place of death. (To be continued...)
