Chapter 755: A Sigh

Tens of thousands of soldiers watched Yuan Shao and Liu Xiu talk between the two groups. They couldn't hear anything, but they could see that the two enemies were quiet and there was no feeling of tension. They didn't look like enemies who were alive or dead, but like friends who had not seen each other for many years. They met on the road by chance and talked about it.

Xun You and others were not worried about Liu Xiu's personal safety. Looking at the world, almost no one can be Liu Xiu's opponents when fighting alone. They focused on the Yuan army's battle formation, for fear that they would raid Liu Xiu with impulse. No matter how powerful his personal martial arts were, it would be difficult to protect against hundreds of charge knights. Without Xun You's instructions, Zhang Liao led twenty personal guards to prepare for attack. The personal guard Zhang Fei inadvertently broke forward for about twenty steps, holding a spear and watching quietly.

Compared with the calmness of the Han soldiers, Yuan's army was obviously much more nervous. They were afraid that Liu Xiu would suddenly attack and killed Yuan Shao in one fell swoop. At the same time, they were also worried about their fate. Judging from the current situation, the war had not yet begun and the defeat was decided. No matter from which perspective, there was no chance to turn defeat into victory. If you want to survive, there was only one hope: surrender.

But they also knew that Yuan Shao would not have the idea of ​​surrendering if he took them back to Gecheng instead of escaping from afar. Yuan Shao might have wanted to fight to the death and live to death, but most people knew that facing Liu Xiu and those elite Han army soldiers who were like wolves and tigers behind Liu Xiu, Yuan Shao's idea was too ethereal.

Ethereal does not mean nothingness. Even if there is only a little hope, it can make people feel at ease.

The Yuan army soldiers looked at Yuan Shao in front of the formation with a long eye, hoping that Yuan Shao could lower his high head. He knelt in front of Liu Xiu and ended this battle destined to have no hope. However, to their disappointment, Yuan Shao and Liu Xiu talked for a long time, but they did not bow their heads, and there was no sign of bowing their heads.

He kept shaking his head.

Every time he shook his head, the Yuan army soldiers were heartbroken.

"Zhongzhi, look..." Guo Tu gently tilted his horse's head and leaned in front of Xin Ping: "Does the lord... surrender?"

Xin Ping turned his head and looked at Guo Tu: "Why are you back? Are you not afraid that your lord will kill you?"

Guo Tu smiled bitterly and asked back, "Where can I go?"

Xin Ping didn't say anything more. Guo Tu and Liu Xiu had a bad relationship, which was very bad. Is it because the Guo family occupied the eldest princess' fiefdom, or because the Guo family was not good to Guo Jia and his son. It caused Liu Xiu's disgust towards Guo Tu, or for other reasons, Xin Ping didn't know. However, Xin Ping was very angry. Yuan Shao came to this point today, Guo Tu was self-righteous, and Guo Tu's song was already flattered and he was very responsible.

"To Liu Xiu, you are a meritorious minister, where can't you go?" Xin Ping could not suppress his anger and spoke sarcastic. Guo Tu's face turned red and lowered his head. The war horse under his crotch seemed to feel his master's embarrassment. He moved one step sideways and was farther away from Xin Ping.

Xin Ping sighed, feeling a little meaningless about his anger. Now that things have come to this, what's the use of killing Guo Tu?

Yuan Shao also sighed. He raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and shook his head helplessly: "I really don't understand what you said."

Liu Xiu was silent. He had long said that Yuan Shao could not accept the truth he said. Although his current identity is similar to Yuan Shao's former identity. He is both a nobleman and a top-notch nobleman, but unlike Yuan Shao who was born in a wealthy family since childhood, he is a grassroots from the root. He was a three-no youth in his previous life. In this life, he was just an inconspicuous farmer in the countryside of Zhuo County. The wealth hidden in the dark is all in the hands of his father. To him, he is a real grassroots.

They are not people from the same world.

"If you don't understand now, it doesn't mean you won't understand in the future." Liu Xiu was still a little unwilling to give up and persuaded him to surrender again. "With your knowledge, I think I will understand it soon."

Yuan Shao smiled: "Your Highness is so kind that even a rebellious person like me can tolerate it. However, I can't tolerate myself." He raised his eyebrows: "I can't do it like Yuan Shu."

"Must fight?" Liu Xiu frowned and his murderous aura suddenly appeared.

"We want to fight." Yuan Shao was unmoved and looked at Liu Xiu calmly.

"You have no chance of winning." Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Nothing at all."

"Yes, I don't have a chance to win." Yuan Shao said: "But I have the right to die in battle."

"Yes, you have the right to die in battle." Liu Xiu let out a sigh of relief, his eyes left Yuan Shao's face, and looked at the soldiers behind him: "But they shouldn't die. They have been fighting for you for so many years, and there is no need to die with you again. You die for dignity, what about them?"

Yuan Shao turned his horse's head, looked at his battle flag, and then laughed: "Your Highness killed Shen Pei and exiled Shen Rong. He would kill many powerful people in Jizhou in the future, but he was worried about these ordinary Jizhou commoners and even gave me a way out for them?"

"In my eyes, you may not be noble, nor may they be humble." Liu Xiu said: "I said that our views are very different. However, if you are willing to surrender, I can open my mind and give you a way out." He paused and said: "You are only forty years old. With your ability, you will always have a chance to revive the Yuan family."

"I have already said that if the Yuan family just wants to survive, it will be enough to have Yuan Shu and I will no longer need."

"It's stubborn." Liu Xiu became angry: "Since you are determined to die, I will fulfill your wishes. You can go on the road with peace of mind. When I break through Yi County and take down Yecheng, I will let your wife, children and I accompany you, and I will guarantee that you won't be alone."

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, suddenly turned his head and stared at Liu Xiu: "You want to destroy my whole family, just because of these soldiers?"

"Yes." Liu Xiu said without hesitation, his feet moved slightly, and he got out of the stirrup. He only stepped on the toes on the stirrup, ready to jump up and kill the self-righteous nobleman with one palm, letting him know that in the face of life and death, he was actually no different from ordinary soldiers. He had already broken the dragon shape and was confident that he could succeed with one blow.

As his murderous intention moved, an invisible murderous aura erupted, causing Yuan Shao, who was only two steps away from him, to inexplicably cold. The Xiliang war horse under his crotch shivered and took two steps back.

Yuan Shao was indifferent to Liu Xiu's uncovered murderous aura. He was silent for a long time, with unwillingness flashing in his eyes, pity flashing, anger flashing, and finally returning to peace.

"I'll make a deal with you."

"you say."

"I ordered the soldiers to put down their weapons and save your life."

Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and released his murderous intent. "Take a deal."

"Also..." Yuan Shao raised his head and looked at Liu Xiu: "I want to challenge you, I hope you can accept it."

Liu Xiu was stunned, hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay!"

Yuan Shao also breathed a sigh of relief, held the whip in his hand, clasped his fists, and bowed to Liu Xiu deeply: "Thank you!"

Liu Xiu returned the favor, turned his horse's head, and returned to the original formation. Seeing that he returned to the formation safely, Xun You breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Xiu waved to Zhang Liao: "Get my halberd."

"King?" Xun You was surprised: "Why should you go into battle with the king's daughter in person?"

Jia Xu pulled Xun You and glanced at the opposite side with his eyes. Xun You followed his gaze and suddenly understood, and was happy and worried. "King, be careful."

"I know." Liu Xiu took the halberd in his hand and stretched the head of the halberd to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao untied the halberd clothes, revealing the head of the halberd with a simple and murderous aura. The head of the halberd was passed down to him by his father. It was said to be a family heirloom. I don't know what kind of craftsmanship it was made. After hundreds of years, there was no destruction. It was just that after hundreds of years, the ferocious murderous aura contained in the patterns on the halberd became much gentler and more restrained.

This is the first time that Liu Xiu has used this halberd. Since defeating Sun Ce in one round in Changsha, two young warriors of Ma Chao and capturing Yuan Shu alive in one battle, he has not taken the battle personally for many years, and he has not had the opportunity to use this heirloom war halberd.

Liu Xiu shook his wrists lightly, and the head of the halberd trembled, buzzing, as if a phoenix was reborn in the fire, making a cheerful cry. Liu Xiu gently urged the war horse and came back to the formation. Yuan Shao had also taken a long halberd back, looked at the war halberd in Liu Xiu's hand, and couldn't help but praise: "Good halberd!"

Liu Xiu smiled slightly and pushed the horse to the south. Yuan Shao took a look, a little surprised, but he turned his head and walked north. The two left the land of an arrow, stopped the war horse at the same time, turned around, and faced with halberds.

Yuan Shao took a breath, raised the iron halberd in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Yuan Shao, Runan, dare to challenge His Highness. The iron halberd in his hand is eight feet long and weighs ten kilograms, and the military standard."

Liu Xiusan held a halberd in his hand and said loudly: "Liu Xiu, Zhuo County, should challenge him. The iron halberd in his hand is two feet long and weighs eighteen kilograms. It is made of the ancient Chu State."

"please!"

"please!"

The two of them bowed their fists and placed the long halberd in their hands at the same time. With a loud shout, the horse rushed forward and ran hard. Ten steps later, the two Xiliang war horses, who were equally majestic, entered their best state, with four hooves flying, as fast as lightning. In a blink of an eye, the two had already face to face and saw each other's eyebrows and eyes clearly.

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, held the halberd in both hands, stepped on the stirrups with his feet, left the saddle, leaned forward slightly, leaned on the saddle bridge only with his lower abdomen, poured all his strength on his arms and on the iron halberd in his hand. His eyes were staring at Liu Xiu who was approaching quickly, and stabbed out with all his strength.

The head of the halberd trembled slightly, and with a decisive murderous aura, stabbed Liu Xiu's chest.

Liu Xiu sat upright on the horse, holding a halberd in one hand, holding the back of the halberd under his armpit, gently tweaking his wrist, the halberd trembled, and gently knocked on Yuan Shao's halberd slammed. The powerful force swept away Yuan Shao's assassination. The halberd support seemed to slide, and followed Yuan Shao's halberd and flew away from Yuan Shao's neck.

Both sides are about to part with one touch.

Liu Xiu ran another twenty or thirty steps, then slowly strangled the war horse, turned his head slowly, and looked at Yuan Shao in the distance. Yuan Shao also slowed down. He sat upright on the war horse, holding a halberd in one hand and covering his neck with the other, raised his head, looked at the blue sky nostalgic, and sighed.

The long halberd fell to the ground, Yuan Shao's straight body slowly fell down, his hands hanging on both sides of the horse's neck, and his face tightly against the war horse's neck. Blood spurted out from the neck, dyed the snow-white horse's mane red, slowly flowing down the smooth fur of the war horse, soaking the land under his feet...
