【Chapter 717】
[Thank you: Li Lizhi's rewards and encouragement, thank you!]

"Ganning?"
Seeing that the Xiliang Army had been delaying for a while, Wen Chou was surprised and was very angry. He suddenly realized that Li Li's move clearly looked down on him and deliberately sent an unknown young general to fight.
"The unknown rat, since you are looking for death, you will be able to fulfill your death!"
As soon as he thought of this, Wen Chou's dark cheeks suddenly turned red as blood, his face was ferocious, and he was in anger. He immediately snorted coldly, and he rushed towards Gan Ning, as if he had a shot to kill Gan Ning.
"Are you rats? Killing you an ugly ghost is enough!"
If he heard Wen Chou scold him as a rat half a year ago, Gan Ning would have been furious and regarded it as a great humiliation in his life. But after being tempered by the poisonous dragon pond for a lifetime, he had completed a transformation as if he had been reborn. He no longer cared about verbal disputes, and paid more attention to reality rather than what others said. It was not important to be called a "rat" by Wen Chou, but the most important thing was the next fight. As long as he could kill Wen Chou, what if he was ridiculed as a rat?
In Gan Ning's transformation, Li Li undoubtedly gave him a vivid lesson, teaching him how to judge the situation and turn bad luck into good fortune. When face is put down, you must let go. Being able to take it down is a real man. Just imagine how respectful Li Li's identity is. However, when Li Li faced the vicious and powerful poisonous dragon beast, he turned his head and ran away without hesitation. He never thought of fighting with the poisonous dragon and escaped at the first time. However, Gan Ning was foolishly facing the poisonous dragon alone and tried to fight. It was not until he could not beat him that he remembered to escape. He was chased and beaten by the poisonous dragon, so that he almost lost his body and kissed him. But the final result of the battle of the poisonous dragon was that the poisonous dragon was defeated by Li Li and Huan Fei, and Li Li killed the poisonous dragon himself, winning a great victory and gaining both fame and fortune.
Such "chiluo" naked lessons really made Gan Ning remember deeply and clearly realize his shortcomings. He enjoyed them for life. For this reason, he respected Li Li from the bottom of his heart and was very awe. This was the only person he respected in his life for more than 20 years. He was truly convinced and admired.
Therefore, Li Li ordered him not to win, but to be undefeated. Gan Ning immediately understood and knew that Li Li's implicit meaning was that his literary and military skills were excellent and should not be despised. For this reason, although he said he wanted to take the Wen Chou head, he actually kept Li Li's advice in mind, and was very cautious about this battle, not seeking merit but seeking no mistakes.
"Clang clang clang!"
Two war horses galloped towards each other. The iron spear and the slashed sword met in the air, and the sound of the collision was thunderous and sparks flew everywhere.
At first encounter, Wen Chou showed an unconventional and fierce attack. A spear in his palm was not as clever and tricky as a spearman. The attack was fierce and opened and closed. He swung the spear like a stick to shake Gan Ning's long-handed sword. When Gan Ning hit Wen Chou's spear, he felt a powerful force pouring into the knife rod, which then extended to his arm, causing his right arm to shake violently, and his right hand's mouth to burst, which was very uncomfortable. At this moment, he experienced Wen Chou's strength in his body. Li Li really had a unique vision and read it wrong. Wen Chou was indeed a person with great strength and a strong opponent. However, Gan Ning was not afraid. Instead, he burst into fighting spirit and swung the sword six times in one breath. The sword was powerful and strong, and he was not showing any weakness.
At the same time, Wen Chou, who had a six-time encounter with Gan Ning, was not feeling well. Or he was deeply surprised by Gan Ning's strength and paid the price for it. In the head-on battle, since Wen Chou did not take Gan Ning seriously at first, he suffered a secret loss when he fought. In the collision between the gun and the sword, a powerful force that was not inferior to him rushed into his arms, causing his arms to numb in an instant, and his hands were shattered, blood was everywhere, soaking the handle of the gun, making the spear in his hand wet, and the end of the gun handle was bleeding.
In the first match, he was slightly injured, which was the first time for Wen Chou, who had been through a long battle. This also made him re-examine his opponent Gan Ning, and he did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and then used all his strength to do his best. What surprised him was that even if he tried his best, he could not completely suppress Gan Ning. The two sides still fought to the point of equality, and he could not gain any advantage.
At this moment, Wen Chou truly realized that Gan Ning was definitely a strong opponent, with strength that was no less than his, and his combat power was even higher than himself. At this point, he suddenly became alert and completely put away his contempt. He was cautious in wiping money like rain, for fear of capsizing in the gutter, and the great reputation of the head of the four pillars that he had been trespassing for half his life was destroyed.
"clang!"
When the two horses were in conflict, Gan Ning and Wen Chou had a backhand attack almost at the same time. The moment the spear and the sword collided with each other, their bodies suddenly shook, and neither of them got a chance. Then the two horses passed by and ran against each other.
The first match ended, and the two of them formed a draw. It can be said that they met the opponent and met the good talent, which was comparable.
However, Wen Chou suffered a little loss because he underestimated the enemy first, and his hands were broken and his mouth was bleeding. However, this small injury was not worthy of truth for him. As a general, minor injuries were inevitable. Breaking the skin was common, and bleeding was common. As long as there was no injury, the lack of arms and legs, it would be insufficient to worry about it.
Xi Yuyu-Dada!
The war horse neighed long, the horse's hooves stomped, and the two returned to the horse and fought again.
In the midst of the lightning, Wen Chou changed his previous big-opening and closing attack. With the help of the rapid rush of the war horse, the iron spear slashed in the wind, and the cold spear slashed straight into Gan Ning's chest. Gan Ning seemed to have foreseeed it, and no longer slashed horizontally like the first round, but lifted the sword back and rubbed the tip of the knife against the ground and dragged the knife in. When Wen Chou's spear stabbed towards the face, it suddenly lifted the knife and knocked the gun out with the thick back of the sword. Then the blade turned sharply and wiped the right arm wrist of Wen Chou holding the gun.
Wen Chou, who was bounced away by a huge force, ignored Gan Ning's turn of the blade and attacked his right arm, and went the other way. Relying on the advantage that the spear in his palm was three feet longer than the sword in Gan Ning's hand, the spear tip shook and swept across his backhand. The sharp gun tip drew a graceful semicircle arc and quickly stroked Gan Ning's neck.
Fight with killing, attacking him will be saved. This is a fierce attack and strong confidence that only a master can fight. Wen Chou's move is clearly a force to force Gan Ning to give up the attack and turn attack into defense. Otherwise, he would not hesitate to exchange his right arm for Gan Ning's head on the neck. Which of the two is more important and self-evident.
Sure enough, Wen Chou's move to attack him must be saved worked, or he succeeded.
"Clang!" With a muffled sound, Gan Ning decisively gave up the offensive, carried the knife in one hand and returned to the defense block, and used the knife rod to hold the spear sweeping by Wen Chou. Wen Chou seemed to have expected it, and the spear suddenly changed direction and turned into an oblique pierce. The sharp spear tip stabbed Gan Ning's right arm elbow bone that was bent into 90 degrees.
"Hmph!" Two cold snorkeling sounded almost at the same time, and then the two fought hard, and their blood surged up and fought hard for five consecutive times. It was not until the two horses passed by that they were reluctant to give up.
After one round, Wen Chou was stabbed by half an inch above the elbow of Gan Ning's right arm and elbow, leaving an inch-long bloody mouth. Wen Chou did not take advantage of it. Gan Ning cut a hole on the outside of his left abdomen. Although it did not hurt the internal organs, his skin was still full of blood.
This time, the two of them were almost injured, also prompted them to be afraid of each other, and they became more cautious in the next thirty rounds of fighting, without any leakage between offense and defense, leaving no opportunity for the other party to take advantage of.

"The lord is keen to recognize people, and the poor minister admires them!"
In front of the Xiliang Army, his eyes were blinking as Gan Ning and Wen Chou fought fiercely for nearly forty rounds without falling behind. Guo Jia said respectfully to Li Li in convincingly.
"This is a small way, so why not mention it." Li Li smiled indifferently: "Fengxiao is a wise man, and it is reasonable to fight without martial arts. However, I am a little impressed by Wen Chou. This person is a world-class master in both martial arts and response ability in the face of battle. His combat power is comparable to that of the top warriors, and his combat power is comparable to that of the top warriors. Xingba is currently the mid-level combat power of the top warriors, which is comparable to Wen Chou. If two opponents with equal strength continue to fight fiercely, there is no desperate battle of hundreds of rounds, it is afraid it will be difficult to decide the outcome."
"Well, as the lord said. No one has gained a advantage in the fierce battle between the two sides. It would be difficult for this formation to win." Guo Jia nodded and said.
"This literary chou is not simple, he is worthy of being the leader of the four pillars under Yuan Shao's command!" Li Li sighed with emotion.
Indeed, after seeing Wen Chou showing off his skills, Li Li was indeed a little touched. In his memory, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were highly valued by Yuan Shao, did not leave much impressive record. They both died under the sword of the Martial Saint Guan Yu, and died quickly and were almost dead when they were about to fall.
However, the two generals Zhang He and Gao Lan, who ranked behind them in the Jizhou army, shone brightly after Yan Liang and Wen Chou's death, performed remarkablely, and could be regarded as good generals with both civil and military power. Such favoritism in other ways makes people wonder. If Wen Chou Yan Liang is really inferior to Zhang He and Gao Lan, wouldn't Yuan Shao see it? Or maybe Yuan Shao has no eyes? Obviously, the answer is no. Yuan Shao is definitely not a person with eyes, and the generals he can appreciate must not be a fictional reputation.
In history, Wen Chou fought with seven generals under Gongsun Zan with his own strength in the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, beheading three of them and injured four of them, which shocked Hebei; while Yan Liang fought with Cao Ren and Xu Huang in the battle of Guandu for more than 30 rounds, and defeated them in the battle, which made the Cao army at a loss.
Such a brave two generals were killed by Guan Yu, and this move was speechless. This made Li Li suspect that Luo Gong, who wrote the Romance of the Later generations, was unfair and too much admired Liu Bei's orthodox status, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both had a strong mythological color.
Until today, Li Li knew that Wen Chou and Yan Liang could be valued by Yuan Shao. At least Wen Chou in front of him was definitely one of the few powerful generals in the world. No one could kill him on the horse with his sword. Even Lu Bu, who was known as the world's number one general, could not do it.
