Chapter 92: Northern Battle, Liu Bei's Self-Imagination
"Bofu, stop for now!" Zhou Yu turned to Sun Ce and said, "There is no rush for revenge. After the death of the previous king, we have a lot of internal troubles in Dongwu. Let's deal with those troubles first, and then it won't be too late to attack Jingzhou!"

Ji Hao was too abnormal, an extremely powerful hexagonal being, and he had to be wary of him.

But what really made Zhou Yu want to withdraw his troops was the internal troubles of Eastern Wu: Sun Jian died at the wrong time. He died just after he appointed Sun Quan, who was in his teens, as the crown prince.

At this time, according to etiquette and law, the crown prince should inherit the throne.

But what can a child in his early teens do?
If in a few years, when he is fifteen or sixteen years old, he can still hold on a little, but now at the age of eleven or twelve, can he manage the internal affairs of Dongwu, or can he compete with Ji Hao, Liu Biao and others in the outside world?
When Sun Quan was young, he would occasionally say something right, which would astonish Sun Jian and Cao Cao even believed that "if I had a son, I would want him to be like Sun Zhongmou."

But in fact, regardless of his age, he is just smart occasionally.

Compared with adults who have to consider everything, there is still a big gap - in the original work, he can see through the essence of the jade seal and appears to be smarter than Sun Jian and his son.

However, if he was not a child and knew the beauty of power, could he still see it so clearly?
Kids might prefer candy, that's all!

Therefore, the person who was truly suitable to succeed the throne was Sun Ce.

This creates trouble.

Even though the two brothers now share a common hatred for the enemy and are determined to avenge their father, the unresolved throne is still a huge hidden danger. Not only are the people who support both sides fighting secretly, but a third party that wants to replace the Sun family is also looming.

If one of the issues is not handled properly, the Eastern Wu might collapse.

"Okay!" Sun Ce glanced at Liu Biao, and finally nodded, agreeing to Ji Hao's temporary mediation.

Under Ji Hao's guidance, he felt that "Xing Daorong" might have the strength to surpass Lu Bu, so he did not dare to start a war lightly. It might not be a bad thing to temporarily stop and find out the news about Xing Daorong.

As for Xing Daorong, he swallowed his saliva and said with lingering fear: "In terms of archery, I am not as good as you, Chengtian!"

Although he was arrogant, he had a good idea of ​​his own abilities. When it came to archery, he couldn't hit the target even at a hundred steps, let alone shoot an arrow through an arrow at a hundred steps, or even shoot a sheep at five hundred steps. It was simply impossible.

"But, this kind of person has to be wary of me!"

Xing Daorong became inflated again when he thought of this, and turned to Liu Biao and said, "My lord, since Ji Chengtian has come to mediate, let's give him some face and stop for now!"

Hearing this, Liu Biao looked at him, then looked at Ji Hao who seemed to be very afraid of him, and finally nodded.

"Let's deal with Yuan Shao first!"

……

Soon, Ji Hao's "shooting a sheep off a cliff" to mediate between Liu Biao and Sun Ce, and his deed of stopping the war alone spread, and was passed on by word of mouth by people all over the world, becoming another popular deed after his "destruction of Shu City".

However, to the princes and generals, it was nothing strange.

Ji Hao is a freak and is no longer a human being.

Whatever he did was reasonable and not surprising.

What is really surprising is Xing Daorong: Legend has it that he is a descendant of the ancient demon god Xingtian. His strength is so extraordinary that he is even stronger than Zhao Yun and Lu Bu. Even Ji Hao is afraid of him.

With the strength of one person, he overwhelmed all the generals of Eastern Wu, and the 100,000-strong army did not dare to move forward even a single step.

Although he had no actual combat performance, he became famous overnight.

When he learned that he was sent by Liu Biao to help him, and that he was accompanied by 100,000 Jingzhou troops, Liu Bei was so happy that he almost jumped up and shouted: "God has eyes, please let another Xing Daorong appear in this world, so that Ji the thief will not have all the glory!"

After saying this, he took his second and third brothers, as well as the newly recruited general Ma Chao, to welcome them in person.

Xing Daorong was very satisfied with this.

He felt that he was worthy of his status as "the best in the world", and nodded and said: "You, the king of the mountain, are quite sensible, don't worry! Since this general is here, Yuan Shao will never set foot in the capital!"

After saying that, he was held hand by Liu Bei and entered Chang'an City.

At the welcoming banquet, he sat at the head of the table and began to brag: "Those rats in Jiangdong are really not worth mentioning. I went up to challenge them alone, but they didn't dare to fight back. It's really boring."

Liu Bei always felt that something was wrong about this, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He has come into contact with Sun Ce.

Although the little bully is somewhat unworthy of his reputation, he is still brave. He is not afraid even when facing Ji Hao. How could he be scared by Xing Daorong alone and not dare to fight?

But that's what the outside rumors say.

Could it be that Sun Ce was frightened after the battle of Xuzhou?
"Of course, fighting is not a one-man show. Although I am invincible in the world in my bravery, what I am really good at is the use of troops!" Xing Daorong was a little drunk, and said bluntly: "You people who come from the mud-legged background of weaving mats and selling shoes don't know that even the strongest generals cannot defeat a hundred people alone when facing truly well-trained soldiers."

After saying that, he took a big gulp of the wine.

He said incoherently: "Damn, the Dongwu people are just a mob. Otherwise, if they rushed over, I might not be able to kill them all!"

After saying that, he could no longer suppress the influence of alcohol, and fell into a deep sleep with his head tilted.

This made Liu Bei feel even more uneasy.

Zhang Fei shouted, "Your alcohol tolerance is so low, is it fake? When Ji Hao was still a martial artist, he could drink much more than him!"

Liu Bei frowned at this.

But he immediately shook his head and said, "People are different. I know some people who are born unable to drink and get drunk as soon as they touch alcohol. However, it does not affect their literary talent and martial arts. Xing Daorong may be one of those people."

Hearing this, Zhang Fei curled his lips and said nothing more.

Regardless of whether Xing Daorong's martial arts are real or not, he is really annoying. If Liu Bei hadn't been suppressing him, he really wanted to catch him and beat him up.

"Brother, he said that no matter how strong a person is, he can't defeat a hundred alone. Isn't that a little shallow?" Guan Yu said, "My second brother and I can defeat a hundred alone just like eating and drinking water. Even if we defeat a thousand alone, we are not afraid at all. Ji Hao can even defeat ten thousand alone. Even if he faces the most elite soldiers, he should be able to defeat a hundred alone, right?"

He also had some doubts about Xing Daorong.

Guan Erye's arrogance is unparalleled in history. Even though he was defeated in the battle of Xuzhou, he still refused to accept it.

He has been practicing martial arts hard over the years, thinking about killing moves, and even wants to compete with Ji Hao again.

There is no trace of Xing Daorong, a man with no combat record, in his eyes.

"This..." Liu Bei also felt that something was wrong, but when he thought of Ji Hao's fear of Xing Daorong, he thought that it might be because he and his friends were too shallow, so he made up a possibility in his mind: "Could it be that the hundred people he mentioned are not the hundred people we mentioned?"

"What do you mean, brother?" Guan Yu asked.

"I know that my second and third brothers can take the heads of enemy generals from among tens of thousands of troops, but if it is ten thousand Haotian troops, Chengtian troops, and Datong troops, can you still do it?" Liu Bei asked.

Hearing this, the two of them immediately fell silent.

Of course not.

Not to mention the three large armies, even Lu Bu's 800-man formation, once they dismounted their horses and put on their shields, and took advantage of their heavy armor, they would not be able to break through easily.

A strong army in the world is not just talk.

"And it is rumored that Ji Hao has a group of a hundred people called 'Haotian Guards' who are inseparable from him. He calls them 'special forces'. I don't know how strong they are, but if a hundred of them attack together, Lu Bu will have to avoid their attack, right?" Liu Bei said.

This made Guan and Zhang nod their heads.

"So, the 'hundred men' Xing Daorong mentioned actually refers to Ji Hao's hundred-man Haotian Guard? That's right, he is the descendant of Xing Tian, ​​and he should know something about the hidden power of the descendants of the Queen of Humanity!"
