Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 159 Xu Chu versus Zhang Liao

Xinye County.

A mighty motorcade, escorted by hundreds of cavalry, slowly drove into the city gate.

"There are so many Zhang Liao's relatives!"

On the top of the city, Xu Chu, with a single sword hanging on his waist, stared at the convoy entering the city and said, shirtless.

"Wenyuan is not a small farmer at first. When he was in Shanxi, he was a prominent local family. This time he moved to Xinye on the order of the prime minister, and he brought his nephews, servants, and maids with him, so there are a lot of them."

Next to him, Xu Chu's only son Xu Yi, 16 years old, was extremely handsome. He was also standing on the top of the city. He looked at a tall young man below with a spear in hand, riding a war horse and guarding a sedan as he slowly entered the city. He said with a sneer. : "His father was captured by Jingzhou. You see, he is still so bossy and acts as if there is no one around him!"

Lu Qian took a closer look, smiled apologetically and said, "Are the young general and Wen Yuan's son also familiar with each other?"

Xu Chu laughed loudly and said with a grin: "Isn't it? My Yi'er is about the same age as Zhang Liao's son Zhang Hu. The prime minister once tested his nephew's kung fu. In the martial arts competition, Zhang Hu was a little behind my son. My son First, his son second. For the thesis..."

Xu Chu coughed lightly: "His son Zhang Hu is first, and my son Xu Yi is fourth."

"But as a man, you have to kill your enemy with one knife and one shot. What's the use of playing with those pens? Xu You from Hebei is capable enough, right? He is much better than Zhang Hu when he talks and plays with his own mind. Isn't he beaten by me? Cut off your head with a knife?"

After saying that, he turned back to look at Xu Yi, glared and said: "You are the last one in the literary test, and I don't care. If you dare to lose to Zhang Hu in the martial arts test, I will twist your arm off!"

"Here! I remember, kid!"

Xu Yi stood up straight and responded loudly.

Seeing Xu Chu's fierce look, Lu Qian was secretly amused. He turned around and went down to the city, saying, "The Prime Minister has sent a letter a long time ago, repeatedly telling Zhang Liao's family to take good care of Zhang Liao's family without any neglect. I'll go down first. Arrange them to avoid trouble."

Xu Chu waved his hand impatiently. As for things other than fighting, he was only interested in drinking and eating meat.This delicate work of arranging family members had to be handled by Lu Qian himself.

A few days ago, the prime minister's documents were delivered to Lu Qian. Lu Qian did not dare to be careless, so he specifically chose a large house with a single courtyard near the Xinye County government office. There were dozens of houses in the courtyard, which was barely enough.

Lu Qian arranged for Zhang Liao's mother, wives, concubines, nephews, and attendants, and specially assigned a dozen sergeants to guard the courtyard gate.Then he left with peace of mind.

That night, while Xu Chu and Lu Qian were having a dinner party, Xu Yi hurriedly led several soldiers into the inner hall.

"Father……"

Xu Yi wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked up and saw Lu Qian sitting on the side seat, but hesitated to speak.

"If you have anything to do, talk to me. If you have nothing to do, sit down and eat meat and drink wine. After eating, get out of here! What are you doing here, mother-in-law and mother-in-law!"

Xu Chu drank a bowl of wine, looked at Xu Yi impatiently and said.

"Young General, I have something to do. Lu Qian will take your leave first."

As Lu Qian spoke, he stood up and left.

"It's not necessary. Lu Qian is not an outsider. He is a loyal minister who has followed the Prime Minister for many years. There is nothing to avoid. Just say it!"

Xu Chu stretched out his hand to stop Lu Qian and stared at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi hesitated for a moment and whispered: "There are many rumors in the army that Zhang Liao surrendered to Liu Bei the day before yesterday and is now serving under Zhao Yun in Fancheng. He is waiting for the Prime Minister's troops to arrive and he will fight with us..."

Xu Chu was furious when he heard this, and threw the wine bowl in his hand to the ground with a "pop" sound, smashing it into pieces!
"You ungrateful brat! How could you do this!"

"When I break into Fancheng, capture him alive, and have him quartered in front of the Prime Minister!"

Xu Chu's lifelong belief was Prime Minister Cao Cao. Even if his own father dared to betray the Prime Minister, he would not hesitate to kill his relatives without hesitation, let alone Zhang Liao.As he spoke, he stood up and was about to order troops and set off.

Lu Qian listened on the sidelines and hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "General, don't believe the rumors easily! We still have to decide whether they are true or false!"

"Moreover, there are soldiers and horses of the Southern Barbarian King in Fancheng. Even the prime minister is afraid of them. You and I only have three thousand cavalry, so we can't enter lightly. If there is any loss, the three thousand cavalry will die or not. Neither you nor I can bear such a huge force." What a crime!"

"Zhuge Wende is very cunning. I think it may be Zhuge Pifu's treacherous plan, but I don't know!"

Xu Chu's forehead had blue veins popping out, and his face was covered in oil stains. He stroked the handle of the steel knife at his waist with his right hand, stared in thought for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter!

"Lu Qian is right, I almost fell into Zhuge Pifu's trap!"

"How could Zhang Liao betray the Prime Minister? If he wanted to betray, he would have betrayed long ago, and he still has to wait until today?"

"And his family members are all here with me. If he dares to rebel, I will kill his wife and son!"

While Xu Chu was talking, he sat down again, opened the mud seal of a jar of wine with his palm, changed the wine bowl, and drank one bowl after another.

After three rounds of drinking, we were in high spirits.

Suddenly, an attendant from outside the mansion hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words into Xu Yi's ear.

Xu Yi didn't dare to delay, so he came in a hurry and made a report.

"You bastard, you've come to disturb my drinking pleasure again!"

When Xu Chu saw Xu Yi leaving and coming back, he poured wine and cursed.

"I would like to inform my father, Uncle Lu. The Prime Minister has sent 2000 troops into the city to reinforce Xinye! Now that the troops have arrived outside the city, I would like to ask my father for instructions on how to deal with it."

Xu Chu laughed loudly: "You see, the Prime Minister still cares about me, lest I have too few people and horses, so he adds two thousand elites! What's more, is there any reason to let them spend the night outside the city? Verification is correct. After that, put it in the city and set it up, and the food and grass must be in place. Don't wrong them. I don't want to be complained by them in front of the Prime Minister when he comes one day!"

Xu Yi agreed and left as ordered.

Lu Qian frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "General, although the troops and horses are majestic and stronger than before, there is no food harvest in the meager land of Xinye. Now that two thousand mouths are added to the expense, the city will soon run out of food and grass, and I am afraid that it will not be able to sustain it for a few days. Got it!"

Xu Chu was drunk at this moment, his eyes were wandering, and he said with a hint of drunkenness: "Let's wait until tomorrow to discuss it!"

……

At the morning meeting the next day, Lu Qian mentioned the matter again, and Xu Chu ordered Xu Yi to be the envoy, leading three hundred elite cavalry to go to Wancheng to urge for food and grass.

Xu Yi took the order and led his troops to gallop along the road.The area between Wancheng and Xinye was now under the control of the Prime Minister's troops, so everyone was not worried about encountering enemies, relaxed their vigilance, and just moved forward.

Seventy miles into the journey, there was a dangerous place ahead. Suddenly, from behind the cliff beside the road, there was a sound of howling lions roaring.

Before Xu Yi and the others could react, a loud roar arose, and a group of men and horses flew towards them, killing them in front of them.

Xu Yi gathered the soldiers, but the war horse under his crotch did not obey the control, and stepped back dozens of steps continuously. The broad horse's back trembled slightly, as if it had reached the limit of panic.

The other three hundred soldiers and their horses also panicked, and several of them couldn't stand the tossing of the horses and rolled and fell off their horses.

I saw hundreds of people arriving side by side on the opposite side. Everyone had their heads wrapped in homespun cloth, wore rattan armor on their bodies, and carried steel forks and iron knives in their hands.Javelins and other weapons.

And what's riding on the crotch is even more terrifying!

There were male lions, evil tigers, ferocious wolves, and ferocious leopards. They all drooped to the ground with saliva at the corners of their mouths. Their eyes were ferocious and greedy, looking at the three hundred cavalry horses opposite them, with their front hooves under their feet. There was constant friction on the ground, as if he was trying to move forward and couldn't wait any longer!
In the sky, there were dozens of flying golden eagles, screaming continuously and flying around with their wings spread. Even Xu Yi on horseback could already feel the sound of the flapping wings of the golden eagles when they dived.The beast-controlling cavalry of the Southern Barbarian King! !
Although Xu Yi never fought with them, his father Xu Chu suffered heavy losses in Fancheng and almost died in the first battle against the Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo.And the prime minister's 20 elite cavalry were attacked by beast-riding cavalry at night ten miles away from the camp. Nearly half of them were bitten to death by these murderers!

In the dark night, it was a killing without any resistance.

Fortunately, it was still daytime, and Xinye was not far away from here. As long as he drove faster, he could return to Xinye in less than an hour, which calmed Xu Yi's frightened heart a little.

At this moment, there was a sudden neigh, and a war horse turned out from behind the cliff and came to the front of the beast rider.

The man on the horse is mighty and majestic, with pale skin and three short beards. He holds a long knife in his hand and stares angrily, majestic and murderous!
Zhang Liao! !
Xu Yi was shocked!

As expected, there were rumors that Zhang Liao had really taken refuge with Liu Bei, and indeed he had found a job in Zhao Yun's Fancheng and became the commander of Meng Huo's Beast Control Camp! !

"Shameless Zhang Liao kid! You have turned your back on your master and surrendered to the enemy. How can you stand in front of the battle with such dignity!"

Xu Yi was furious, slapped his horse and wielded his sword, and attacked Zhang Liao!
He also knows that Zhang Liao is a tiger general, but a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. His self-confidence is unlimited because he is the son of Xu Chu, the number one tiger general. What's more, Zhang Hu, who has mastered the sword skills personally taught by Zhang Liao, is still his defeat!
Before Zhang Liao could meet the enemy, the beast-riding knight behind him rushed forward like a whirlwind, passing Zhang Liao and fighting with Xu Yi's soldiers and horses.

Ligers, tigers and jackals are far more agile than war horses in leaping and bounding. Moreover, war horses are afraid of ligers and ferocious beasts and can no longer fully obey the knight's command.

What's more, these veterans who have been in the battle for a long time, when have they ever competed with tigers, leopards and wolves in life and death?

Howling and roaring incessantly, Xu Yi's knights turned around and more than a dozen people were killed.

Xu Yi cheered up and waved his sword, weathering the storm.The three beast-riding knights wanted to cut in and charged repeatedly, but were defeated.

"I'm here to break up the fight, retreat quickly. Return to the new wilderness!"

Xu Yi was extremely brave. While giving the order to retreat, he resisted with all his strength and fought against the beasts.

Dove!
A roar fell from the sky!

duh!
Xu Yi felt his eyes go dark, and the eyeball of his right eye was pecked by a swooping eagle!
The blood flowed down the cheek, instantly staining the entire horse's back!

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

Xu Yi endured the severe pain, threw away the single sword in his hand, put his hands on the horse's back, and galloped away.

Fortunately, the following Jingqi were all Xu Chu's confidants from many years of fighting. They were veterans of hundreds of battles and had rich experience. They grabbed the reins of Xu Yi's horse and retreated all the way to the new wilderness.

The army marched twenty miles, when suddenly a group of men and horses rushed out from in front, it was Lu Qian.

Lu Qian led five hundred soldiers and horses to patrol the city. From a distance, he saw the soldiers of Xinye fleeing back with their flags scattered, so he came out to respond.

Lu Qian gave way to Xu Yi and stopped Zhang Liao to fight.

Seeing that Zhang Liao's beast-control camp was approaching Xinye, they did not dare to pursue them and fought for several rounds.

Zhang Liao cursed: "Lu Qian, if it weren't for the kindness of the past, I would have killed you today!"

Then he retreated and left victoriously.

Xinye City.

Xu Yi was covered in blood and lay motionless on the couch. Five military doctors surrounded him, wiping the blood that flowed from the corners of his eyes from time to time.

On the oven not far away, the boiling herbs were boiling, emitting a strong medicinal smell.

More than a dozen maids and maids were running back and forth, making it very busy.

"General, the young general's life should be safe, but this right eye..."

After all the military doctors gathered around to discuss, they came to Xu Chu and reported in a low voice.

"how?"

Xu Chu was sitting next to the oven, his wide-open eyes glowing fiercely under the firelight of the oven.

"The little general's pupil was injured by the eagle's claws and has completely exploded and flowed away. Even if a god comes, there is nothing he can do. I'm afraid this right eye... we have tried our best..."

The old military doctors knelt on the ground and reported tremblingly.

"It's all a bunch of trash!"

Xu Chu suddenly stood up and pulled out the short knife from his waist with a clatter, shining brightly under the fire.

"General, don't be impulsive!"

Lu Qian was shocked, fearing that Xu Chu would be filled with anger and kill all the military doctors one by one.

This guy was so aggressive that he even dared to kill Xu You, the prime minister's childhood friend, let alone such a few unknown people?
"Well done to you Zhang Liao! Not only did you surrender to Liu Da'er, but you betrayed the prime minister, and you even bullied me!"

"I'll kill your whole family!"

Xu Chu was so angry that he took off his short shirt with a stabbing sound, revealing a body of hair, ribbed iron muscles, holding a single sword, and turned around to kill Zhang Liao's whole family.

"General!"

"No general!"

Lu Qian hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Xu Chu from behind, and hugged Xu Chu from the waist.

Xu Chu was so angry that he threw Lu Qian up.

But Lu Qian leaned forward with a move and locked his hands into the deadlock. No matter how Xu Chu swung around, he still couldn't get rid of it.

"General, let me finish!"

While holding Xu Chu in his arms, Lu Qian gasped and said, "The Prime Minister believes in his warnings repeatedly. We must protect Zhang Liao's family members without any slightest care. Let alone harm them!"

"The general was so angry that he slaughtered his subordinates during the expedition and disobeyed the Prime Minister's orders. Even if the Prime Minister wanted to protect you, it would be hard to explain in front of the generals!"

"Please general, please temporarily calm down the thunderous anger, and Xu Tu will discuss countermeasures. If the prime minister arrives, he will definitely give the general a satisfactory answer!"

Xu Churu jumped up and down like a madman for a long time, but still couldn't get away from Lu Qian. Unconsciously, his anger slackened, and his body stopped and collapsed on the ground.

"If Zhang Liao really surrenders to Liu Bei, I think he will agree to avenge you when the prime minister arrives. By then, if you want to kill the family members of the person who betrayed his master, the prime minister will probably agree. Why rush?"

The claws of Lu Qian's hands were torn open by Xu Chu, and there was blood gurgling, and his arms were trembling uncontrollably.

"Then let them live a few more days!"

Xu Chu was silent for a long time, pointed in the direction of Zhang Liao's family home, and said angrily.
