The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies
Chapter 305 Don't Give Him an Excuse to Send Troops
Chapter 305 Don't Give Him an Excuse to Send Troops
Lu Bu brought Sun Ce and five thousand Jiefan soldiers to Pengcheng Coal Mine.
In order to ensure that Lu Bu was safe, Jiefan soldiers occupied all the entrances and exits except the wellhead.
Their actions were not stopped by Lu Bu, and it was the first time that Xie Fanbing had carried out the task of protecting him. If they were stopped, the hearts of the soldiers would be chilled, and it would not be so easy to use them in the future.
When he came to Pengcheng Coal Mine, Lu Bu lived in the most spacious house.
The furniture in the room was recently added.
Throughout Xuzhou, furniture styles have undergone earth-shaking changes, and people's living habits have also changed.
In Lu Bu's room, there are beds, tables, chairs and benches.
Sitting at the desk, there are many scattered small parts in front of him.
What he is assembling is something like a fan.
The wind bag at the well head blows air down the well, the wind is too small and even if there are two wind bags, it is impossible to continuously send fresh air into the depth of the well.
If the wind bag is replaced by a fan, it will be different.
The fan, which uses the rotation of the blades to achieve the blowing effect, pours the wind into the well from different places.
Then install the same fan at every intersection in the underground, and arrange special personnel to rotate the fan to achieve wind circulation.
The entire wind circulation system is very complicated, and it cannot be done by one or two fans.
Lu Bu made a rough estimate. Based on the current progress of coal mine mining, at least thirty or forty fans must operate at the same time to achieve normal ventilation in the entire mine.
Each wind turbine is calculated as a group of five people, and fifteen people have to watch one wind turbine a day.
In the era without electricity, it is true that many things cannot be solved conveniently.
If it is placed after 2000, the fan of the entire mine is taken care of by one person, and the person in charge can find time to do other things.
Although Lu Bu knew how to make a fan, he used the rotation of the blades to increase the wind flow and wind speed, and then formed a system of many fans to achieve the air return of the entire mine.
But he has no ability to build a power station, at least under the current conditions, the establishment of a power station is still a distant dream.
Assembling the parts on the table, Lu Bu was about to assemble a miniature fan, when Sun Ce's voice came from outside the door: "Marquis Chu, something really happened."
Hearing that something happened, and Sun Ce also used the word "Sure enough", Lu Bu raised his head and said, "Bo Fu came in and said."
The door opened and Sun Ce walked in.
He said to Lv Bu: "I just got the news that Xu Chu led more than a thousand Cao troops, pretending to be thieves, on their way to intercept his family."
"I think it's a big deal." Lu Bu smiled lightly, "I have already told you what kind of deployment I have made. With Xu Chu alone, there is nothing I can do for Zilong and Ziyi."
With the secret protection of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, it is impossible for Xu Chu alone to do anything to the family members in Xuzhou.
"Bo Fu, take a look at this." Apparently very relieved of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, Lu Bu beckoned Sun Ce to move closer.
Coming to him, Sun Ce saw the miniature fan in Lu Bu's hand, and asked in surprise, "What did Marquis Chu do?"
"Facing it, I'll let you know what it's useful for." Lu Bu smiled and motioned him to face the fan.
Sun Ce looked puzzled, but he still followed his instructions.
Facing the blades of the fan, Sun Ce didn't quite understand what these three small things could do. Why did Lu Bu ask him to face this?
Waiting for Sun Ce to turn towards the fan, Lu Bu shook the handle that transmits power to the blades.
The blades of the fan rotate immediately.
It turned faster and faster, and felt a gust of wind blowing towards his face. Sun Ce was taken aback and quickly backed away.
Looking at Lu Bu in astonishment, Sun Ce asked, "Marquis Chu, this is..."
"Fan." Lu Bu chuckled, "If you make it a little bigger, you can use it to fan the wind in summer. If you make it even bigger, it will be as big as a fan blade is as tall as a person. Its wind power will not be underestimated. Ten fans are placed in the mine to deliver fresh air to the mine, and then discharge the stale air inside. Once the ventilation system is formed, the craftsmen working underground will no longer be as depressed as before."
"How did Marquis Chu come up with this method?" Not sure if the method Lu Bu said is useful, but Sun Ce found it very novel, and simply made up his mind, thinking that it might be the case. His respect for Lu Bu Another layer deeper.
"Problems that arise must be resolved." Lu Bu replied, "No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, there are always more solutions than difficulties."
He said that the solution was more difficult than the difficulty, which made Sun Ce, who had already admired him, admire him a little more.
Earlier, Sun Ce was forced to serve Lu Bu.
At that time, he was still not very convinced, and would often think of finding an opportunity to leave and lead everyone in Jiangdong to revive Jiangdong.
The longer he followed Lu Bu, the weaker Sun Ce's thoughts became.
Lu Bu always has some whimsical ideas, and many of his ideas will catch the enemy by surprise when used on the battlefield.
At first, seeing Lu Bu's whimsical ideas, Sun Ce didn't think much of it.
After all, one or two strange things can't explain anything, even if they are put on the battlefield, they can still find a way to deal with them.
But as time went by, Lu Bu often came up with some novel things that he had never heard of.
And these things have specific uses, not only useful, but even play a key role!
The longer he spent with Lu Bu, the more Sun Ce felt that it was a wise decision for him to decide to join the entire Jiangdong army.
When conquering the world, you don't have to worry about the enemy's army having thousands of horses, or the enemy's mighty generals and countless wise men. After all, these are all things that can be seen and checked.
Many things Lu Bu introduced have never been seen in the world.
The novel gadgets he creates always bring unprecedented surprises to the world.
If a character like Lu Bu chooses to be his enemy, he will definitely face the new weapons he withdrew on the battlefield.
What those weapons brought to the soldiers may be a devastating blow.
Instead of thinking about breaking away from Lu Bu to establish their own family in the future, and then being wiped out by him, it is better to follow him wholeheartedly. When the world is unified, will they, as heroes, be treated badly by Lu Bu?
After thinking about this, Sun Ce's thoughts of leaving Lu Bu became more and more weak.
"Bo Fu." Putting the fan on the table, Lu Bu ordered: "Go find some craftsmen, and I will let them build the fan."
"I'll go right away." Sun Ce agreed, and left the room.
A moment later, in the open space outside Lu Bu's residence.
Twenty or thirty craftsmen stood side by side, while Lu Bu stood facing them with the small fan in his hand.
"I want you to come here. I have something that I need you to make quickly." Holding the small fan, Lu Bu said to the craftsmen, "It's what I have in hand. I want you to expand it to one of the fan blades." It is as tall as a person. Do you have the confidence to complete it soon?"
All the craftsmen focused their attention on the small fan in Lu Bu's hand.
When Lu Bu asked if they were confident, everyone present stood up and replied, "Don't worry, Marquis Chu, we will make it soon."
So the answer is so confident because the craftsmen saw the real thing.
As long as there is a real object as a reference, it is just to enlarge the small thing in front of you.
Almost every craftsman present thought that they could complete the task assigned by Lu Bu in just a few hours.
What Lu Bu said next reassured the craftsmen a lot: "I will give you one day for the first fan. Make it and try it out within one day. If it is really available, I will arrange it in the coal mine. A large number of releases. At that time, I will also give you a great credit!"
Hearing that great achievements will be recorded for them, the craftsmen were all overjoyed.
They have been working in Xuzhou for a long time, and they are already very familiar with Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's record of great achievements to others is definitely not just a title of meritorious deeds, it must be accompanied by rewards that they can't even imagine.
There is already a small fan as a template, and the confident craftsmen started to work immediately.
Some craftsmen first disassembled the small fan that Lu Bu handed over to them, and then assembled it again.
After repeating this several times, the artisans present have figured out the principle of making and assembling fans.
After figuring out the principle of the fan, the next thing they have to do is to expand it according to the proportion required by Lu Bu.
The fan developed by Lu Bu is made of wood chips.
The blades of the fan are different from ordinary wood chips. It needs to be cut with arcs, and the blades must be thinned and have an inclined angle.
This is a test of the skills of the craftsmen.
The best carpenters, blacksmiths, and stonemasons were sent to come here.
The task of masons is relatively simple. All they have to do is to polish the base of the giant wind turbine.
The structure of the base is simple, nothing more than cutting a large stone, drilling a few holes on it, and finally fixing the fan on it.
The blacksmith is responsible for making small parts. Although the main body of the entire fan is made of wood, wood cannot be used for many severely worn parts, otherwise the service life of the fan will be very limited.
The craftsmen got busy, and Lu Bu and Sun Ce did not leave.
The two stood not far away, watching the craftsmen making giant fans.
"The Marquis of Chu has many ways to do it. If the fan is really built, the two windbags at the mouth of the well will be useless." Standing behind Lu Bu, Sun Ce said with emotion.
"The fan is just the beginning." Lu Bu said: "There are still many things we need to continue to ponder. Mining coal mines cannot be done with a hoe. There are many things involved, just like on the battlefield. Our new weapons are getting better and better. The more, the more enemies will be killed, and our soldiers can avoid damage as much as possible."
Looking away from the busy craftsmen, Lu Bu looked at Sun Ce and said, "No matter what we do, we need a lot of manpower. In this world, people are the most important. The scenery of the country is infinite. If there are no people under our rule, What is the use of this country?"
****************************************
Lü Bu managed to reform the coal mine in Xuzhou, and Lu Su led hundreds of soldiers to escort the family members of Xuzhou officials, including Lv Bu, to Jianye.
The Cao and Yuan families may attack Xuzhou.
After the war, it is not certain whether Xuzhou will be lost.
Lu Bu sent his family to Jianye in advance because he didn't want to be constrained by his family during the war.
Want him to abandon his family like Liu Bei?
He will never do that!
In order to avoid the embarrassment like the battle of Xiapi, Lu Bu's best choice is to send all his family members to other places.
Once the family members are held hostage, Lu Bu will be under the control of others everywhere.
Asking him to escort his family, Lu Bu handed over the entire backyard of Xuzhou to him.
Not long after joining Lu Bu, Lu Su was of course very grateful for being assigned such an important task, and he was even more vigilant along the way.
To be on the safe side, he sent many scouts to explore the way.
Riding at the front of the team, although the scouts didn't bring back any news that anyone would harm them, Lu Su still looked around very vigilantly.
Lu Bu can hand over the entire backyard of Xuzhou to him, of course he doesn't want any mistakes on the way.
The scouts sent by Lu Su didn't find anything.
At least they had spotted a group of people trailing behind.
There were not many people in that team, only two or three hundred people.
However, there are two fierce generals with two or three hundred elites.
One of them was wearing silver armor and a white robe, and a white horse with no variegated hair under his crotch. Who would it be if it wasn't Zhao Yun?
The other man was tall and burly, with two short halberds on his back. He was Tai Shici who followed Sun Ce to serve Lu Bu.
The two of them led the team and chose trails or forests to go through along the way, not only trying to avoid being discovered by others, but even avoiding Lu Su.
Before setting off, Lu Bu had explained that they must not be discovered by Lu Su.
Once Lu Su knew of their existence, he would not be more careful on the road ahead.
No matter what kind of person, there will be a subtly dependent psychology.
Behind him were two fierce generals who took the head of the general from the army, how could Lu Su be worried about the thieves who suddenly killed his family members in the middle of the road?
Lu Bu had predicted that Cao Cao would secretly send someone to intercept and kill his family members, so while dispatching Lu Su, he also sent Zhao Yun and Tai Shici.
He did not directly order any of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici to escort, and Lu Bu also had his own considerations.
He did have several fierce generals under his command, but Cao Cao had more fierce generals around him.
It is impossible to leave Xuzhou to personally escort, so Lu Bu can only secretly arrange strong generals, but on the surface he only appoints a strategist like Lu Su to escort.
To govern the world and plan strategies, Lu Su may be able to.
After all, he was half way behind the generals when he went into battle to kill the enemy with a real knife and a bright gun.
The people Cao Cao sent knew that he was responsible for the escort, so they would not be very careful, especially General Mang who was as brave as Xu Chu, but he didn't like to use his brain very much. Go forward and intercept.
As long as Xu Chu appeared, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici who followed behind would be able to arrive later.
With the abilities of the two of them, even if Xu Chu were to fight one-on-one, he might not be able to beat one of them.
What's more, it was Zhao Yun and Tai Shici who fought together.
If there is one more Xu Chu, there may be a possibility of fighting them.
Following Lu Su from a distance, Lu Su advanced, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici also followed, Lu Su stationed, and the two followed.
It's just that compared with Lu Su, their conditions for stationing are much poorer.
Escorting Lu Bu and the family members of Xuzhou officials, Lu Su's team included men, women, old and young, among which women and children accounted for a large proportion.
After leaving Pengcheng, Lu Su traveled all the way to the southeast.
After walking for more than a day, he received news from the scouts ahead.
Not more than a hundred miles ahead is the Yangtze River. As long as they cross the Yangtze River, they will enter the Jianye territory.
Jianye is Nanjing more than 2000 years later.
It is located in the Yangtze River Basin, with well-developed water and land shipping. Although Sun Ce did not put too much thought into Jianye in the past, he still failed to stop the development of Jianye.
Lu Bu chose Jianye to settle his family members, obviously planning to move the government office here if he couldn't keep Xuzhou.
It was only a hundred miles away from Jianye, and nothing unusual was found along the way. Lu Su finally felt relieved.
Seeing that it was getting late, he ordered to camp on the spot and set off early tomorrow morning.
A hundred miles away, if you walk non-stop, you will arrive in a day and a night.
With Lu Bu and the entire Xuzhou family, it was impossible for Lu Su to urge the team to move forward.
Although it is only a hundred miles away, it will take at least two days to get there with so many old people, women and children.
After being stationed, Lu Su patrolled the camp as usual.
As he was walking, a small school ran over in a panic: "Mr. Lu, it's not good!"
"What's going on?" Escorting his family members on their way, the last thing Lu Su wanted to hear was the words "it's not good".
No matter what the circumstances, as long as the reporter utters these three words, nothing good will happen.
"Not far ahead, I found a group of people coming here. It seems that the approach is not good." Xiao Xiao replied.
"Call together the soldiers." Hearing this, Lu Su quickly ordered the junior officer: "Follow me and take precautions, in case thieves try to plot against the family members."
Lu Bu and the family members of the entire Xuzhou officials were in the team. Of course, the small school didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly sent orders to go.
There are 700 soldiers escorting the family members.
After receiving the order, they took up their weapons and ran out of the camp.
Lu Su was riding on horseback, holding a long sword in his hand, and looking into the distance with a solemn expression.
The six or seven hundred soldiers behind him all looked solemn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The sky has completely darkened, and people's vision is much shorter than during the day.
Formed outside the camp, after a long time, Lu Su saw a group of people walking in the night.
There were about a thousand people in that team, and the one leading the team was an extremely burly and strong man.
When they came to only twenty or thirty steps away from Lu Su and the others, Lu Su shouted, "Who is this? What are you going to do?"
"I heard that someone brought many beauties and money through here. We just came here to have a look." It was Xu Chu who brought people over, and he replied in a high voice: "We don't want to kill people, if we can give three to five thousand If this beauty leaves all the money behind, she can let you go."
Xu Chu is the person by Cao Cao's side. When there is no battle to fight, he is by Cao Cao's side every day.
Lu Su had been to Xudu before, and although Xu Chu's appearance could not be seen clearly in the night, the voice was very familiar to him.
Already having doubts, he asked Xu Chu, "Who are you guys? What exactly do you want to do?"
Xu Chu laughed loudly after hearing this: "I've already said what I want to do, but why do I keep asking? Either send three to five thousand beauties and keep the money, or put all your heads here. Today No matter what, I want to get some benefits from you."
From Xu Chu's reply, Lu Su had already heard that the person was not kind.
He told the small school next to him: "These people who came here are not good people. Tell the soldiers to be prepared. If there is a fight, they must protect their families and evacuate."
There were more people on the other side than them. Even though he couldn't see who Xu Chu was, Lu Su could tell from his figure and physique that there would never be anyone who was his opponent based on the people around him.
Before the two sides started fighting, Lu Su had already seen that he couldn't fight against the other side, so he made plans in advance to protect his family and evacuate.
************************************************** *
Xu Chu was not in a hurry to step forward.
Seeing a person beside Lu Su turn around and return to the camp, he asked loudly, "Are you planning to send someone back to take away all the beauties and money in the camp?"
Lu Su replied: "I don't even say who it is, it's so rude to come here, don't you know whose family I am escorting?"
"Including Lu Fengxian, all the family members of Xuzhou officials." Xu Chu replied: "If it is an ordinary person, we will not come to snatch it. The more noble the family, the more exquisite the beauties. What we want is the beauties from Xuzhou. "
Xu Chu made it clear that he was here to rob Lu Bu's family, and Lu Su knew that this battle was inevitable: "So, your honor is coming here specially for the family of the Marquis of Chu?"
"You can say that, or you don't need to say that." Xu Chu replied, "I want all the family members you escort, not just Lu Bu's."
"The Marquis of Chu entrusted me with all the family members in Xuzhou. Even though I know that there are many people, I can only fight." Lu Su pointed forward with his long sword.
He was about to order the soldiers to rush to kill, when a voice came from behind: "Grand Lu, leave this place to us!"
Hearing the shout, Lu Su turned his head in surprise.
I saw a fast horse galloping towards me.
What galloped over was a fast snow-white horse. The general on the horse was wearing silver armor and a white robe. Although it was night, he was still elegant and handsome.
It was Zhao Yun who rode his horse.
Behind Zhao Yun, there were two or three hundred cavalry galloping towards him.
Zhao Yun came to Lu Su's side, bowed his hands to him and said, "Duke Lu, the Marquis of Chu got the news that Cao Cao sent Xu Chu to lead a thousand soldiers, pretending to be thieves, in an attempt to massacre the family members of the officials in Xuzhou. Come to help."
When Lu Su went to Xuzhou, he also met Zhao Yun.
Although he didn't know Zhao Yun's ability, but from Lu Bu's respect for him, it can be seen that this person must have good martial arts skills.
Knowing that the person facing him was actually Xu Chu, Lu Su asked in surprise, "The general is talking about Xu Zhongkang who is beside Cao Mengde?"
"Besides him, how many Xu Chus are there in the world?" Zhao Yun asked back.
After receiving a definite reply from Zhao Yun, Lu Su couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat.
Of course Lu Su knew what kind of character Xu Chu was.
He brought people to rob Xuzhou's family members. With Lu Su and the soldiers around him, he was powerless to fight.
Not knowing Zhao Yun very well, Lu Su reminded: "General, I heard that Xu Chu is capable, or..."
While talking, Tai Shici arrived with more than 200 cavalry.
When he came to Zhao Yun, Tai Shici asked, "Zilong, I'm going to fight Xu Chu. You are here to protect your family."
Those who are about to be escorted to Jianye include not only Lu Bu and the family members of the former officials in Xuzhou, but also the family members of Jiangdong people who later served.
As a Jiangdong general, Tai Shici certainly paid attention to the safety of his family members.
Zhao Yun didn't intend to compete with him, but just told Tai Shici: "General Ziyi, be careful!"
"It's just Xu Chu, it's nothing." Tai Shici agreed and urged the horse to go forward.
He was only unfamiliar with Zhao Yun, so he joined Lu Bu. Lu Su didn't know Tai Shici, let alone how powerful he was.
Looking at Tai Shici's back in astonishment, he said to Zhao Yun: "Why didn't General Zhao stop him and fight Xu Chu, how could he come back with his life?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu." Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said to him, "In my opinion, Ziyi and Xu Chu should be about the same in terms of martial prowess. If even he can't deal with Xu Chu, I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can deal with him." one."
Zhao Yun praised Taishi Ci very highly, but Lu Su was still not at ease.
He first looked at Zhao Yun suspiciously, and then looked worriedly at Tai Shici who had already walked towards Xu Chu.
When he was less than ten steps away from Xu Chu, Tai Shici took out his double halberds.
Pointing at Xu Chu with a halberd in his right hand, Tai Shici shouted: "Xu Chu, since you are here, you can have a good time with me. Cao Cao sent you here, so why bother to hide your head and show your tail? You and I are the ones who lead troops into battle, don't let others It's a joke."
Tai Shici called Xu Chu by his name.
He didn't intend to reveal his identity, but when he heard his greeting, Xu Chu knew that his whereabouts had been exposed.
Since the visitor knew who he was, Lu Bu should also know who he was.
Cao Cao ordered him to act in secret, but Xu Chu was determined to kill everyone and leave, and did not intend to meet Lu Su.
It wasn't until Tai Shici called out his name that he fully understood that it was imperative for Lu Bu and Cao Cao to turn against each other.
There was no need to hide his whereabouts anymore, Xu Chu replied: "Since you know it's me, you dare to yell here, it seems that you are also capable."
"You will know if I am capable or not." Tai Shici replied, "Just hide your head and show your tail. If it spreads in the future, I'm afraid it will be bad for the general's reputation."
Xu Chu grinned and asked Tai Shici, "How many of you do you think will be able to go back alive today?"
"There are a lot of people who can go back alive." Tai Shici said without any hesitation: "I heard that General Xu is capable, but I didn't expect that the really powerful ones are just lip service."
Tai Shici's words were mocking, and Xu Chu frowned.
He put away his smile and snorted coldly, "Since you are looking for death, I will fulfill you!"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Chu urged his horse to kill Tai Shici.
The two of them were not far away, when Tai Shici saw him coming forward, he also greeted him with a short halberd.
The distance between the two sides was very close, and the war horse passed by before it could pick up its speed.
Xu Chu's broadsword was a long weapon, and he slashed at Tai Shici, but he avoided it sideways.
But Tai Shici's double halberds are short weapons.
The weapons of the two sides did not touch each other, and they had already passed by each other.
Passing by Tai Shici, Xu Chu already cried out in his heart.
When military generals encounter each other on the battlefield, whether the opponent is capable or not can be understood just by fighting.
Tai Shici made a sharp move, although he avoided him, Xu Chu realized that this man in front of him was definitely not a man to deal with.
Passing by with Xu Chu, Tai Shici turned around and heard Xu Chu ask: "Who are you? Haven't given your name yet?"
"Donglai Taishici." Taishici reported his name and surname, and then urged his horse to kill him.
When Xu Chu faced the battle, his heart was already beating a drum secretly.
In fact, Tai Shici became famous much earlier than Xu Chu, but he went to Jiangdong later, and then joined Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was in charge of Jiangdong, and fought with Liu Biao almost every year.
Wars happen every year, but Jiangdong soldiers have never penetrated into the Central Plains, so Tai Shici's reputation in the Central Plains is getting smaller and smaller.
Others may not remember Tai Shici, but it is impossible for Xu Chu not to know.
As a fierce general in the world, he has always been known for his bravery. Xu Chu has probably heard of other brave generals.
Tai Shici is one of the fierce generals he often hears mentioned.
Fighting with Tai Shici, although the two of them refused to give in, neither of them found a chance to kill each other, but Xu Chu was already a little confused.
Just dealing with Tai Shici alone, Xu Chu used all his abilities.
A little further away was a general in silver armor and white robes watching.
If the two of them stepped forward together, relying on Xu Chu's ability alone might not be beneficial.
When Tai Shici and Xu Chu were fighting, Zhao Yun said something to Lu Su.
Lu Su looked at him in astonishment: "Chuhou really said that?"
"Duke Lu still doesn't trust us?" Zhao Yun didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
"It's not that I don't believe in the general, it's just that this matter is too strange." Lu Su replied: "Knowing that he will come here, Chu Hou didn't think of killing him, but instead let the tiger go back to the mountain..."
"Xu Chu is not considered a tiger, at most he is a ghost." Zhao Yun replied: "Cao Cao ordered Mao Jie to go to Pengcheng, but he has already been sent away by Chuhou. He will bring news to Cao Mengde that Chuhou has left the Cao family. As for Xu Chu..."
Zhao Yun went on to say: "What the Marquis of Chu wants is to send his family members to Jianye as soon as possible. In order to avoid more troubles in the middle of the road, it is better not to anger Cao Cao, but let him go back first. He is just a military general, and he is a general at the end of the battle. Come on, sooner or later he will be captured?"
"What Chu Hou said is indeed reasonable." Lu Su nodded, and then shouted to Xu Chu and Tai Shici who were fighting: "You two generals, please stop first!"
The rise of Xu Chu and Taishi Cisha, at first they both wanted to kill each other as soon as possible.
After fighting for more than ten rounds, they realized that it was not that easy to kill the place, so they all changed their strategies, planning to use up the opponent's energy before killing them ruthlessly.
The two people have exactly the same thoughts, but they have similar skills, and neither of them can get benefits from the other in the fight.
Hearing Lu Su's shout, Tai Shici made a false move, taking advantage of Xu Chu's dodge, he took a few steps back.
"General Xu, you and I can't do anything to anyone. Even if we kill him, I'm afraid we won't be able to tell the winner by tomorrow morning." Tai Shici said, "It's better to step back and rest. I'll ask Lu Zi first." If Jing has something to say, I will fight with you again."
"If you're scared, it's fine if you don't come." Xu Chu said provocatively.
Tai Shici gave him a hard look: "Xu Chu, I'm willing to let you go, but don't be ignorant. If Lu Zijing hadn't told us to stop, I would have let you go?"
"You want to let me go?" Xu Chu also stared back at him, and hooked his finger at Tai Shici: "Come on, come on, come and kill me for a few hundred more rounds if you are capable."
Tai Shici was also a dissatisfied person because of his extraordinary martial prowess.
Xu Chu was so provocative, how could he bear it, and he was about to step forward with his double halberds in hand.
But at this moment Lu Su shouted: "General Taishi wait a minute, I have something to talk to General Xu."
Lu Su wanted to talk to Xu Chu, but Tai Shici glared at Xu Chu again with an angry face, and stepped back a few steps again.
Xu Chu looked puzzled at Lu Su who was riding towards him on horseback.
When it was more than ten steps away from Xu Chu, Lu Su asked, "Does General Xu still want to fight here?"
Cao Cao ordered him to come here to intercept Lu Bu and the family members of Xuzhou officials, and fought with Tai Shici. Not only did he not intercept half of them, but he felt powerless to move forward, and Xu Chu was also agitated.
Lu Su asked if there was still a fight, but Xu Chu didn't say anything, but just looked at him coldly.
"It's not far from Jianye." Being stared at by Xu Chu, although Lu Su felt uncomfortable, he continued: "If the general intends to continue fighting, I'm afraid it won't get you any good. After all, the surrounding area is under the rule of the Marquis of Chu. Not to mention either of the two generals in front of us, neither of them can be easily defeated by the generals. It is only said that dispatching soldiers and horses from various cities to intercept them can also make the general exhausted."
Although he knew that Lu Su was telling the truth, Xu Chu snorted coldly.
He didn't say anything, but agreed with Lu Su's statement.
He fought with Tai Shici, but he didn't get any benefit at all.
Looking at Zhao Yun again, he should not be a good stubble.
He agreed with Lu Su's statement, but as a general, he didn't know how to respond.
Before Xu Chu responded, Lu Su said again: "As long as the general is willing to leave, we will definitely not stop him."
Unexpectedly, Lu Su would let him go so easily, Xu Chu was taken aback for a moment: "Aren't you going to stop me?"
"It's not good for us to stop the general, why should we stop?" Lu Su replied: "As long as the general promises not to cause trouble for us halfway, we can leave now."
"Duke Lu's kindness, I will accept it." With Zhao Yun and Tai Shici present, Xu Chu knew that it was impossible to succeed, so he bowed to Lu Su, greeted the soldiers dressed as thieves, and left with him.
***********************************************
When Xu Chu walked away, Lu Su said to Zhao Yun and Tai Shici: "I still don't quite understand what the meaning of the Marquis of Chu is. Xu Chu is a powerful general in the world. If we leave him here, Cao Cao will lose a helping hand."
"Because Xu Chu is an extremely important person around Cao Cao, the Marquis of Chu doesn't plan to detain him now." Zhao Yun explained: "Put him back first, even if Cao Cao wants to find an excuse to be unfavorable to Marquis Chu, he has to weigh it. Weigh it. He ordered Xu Chu to come to intercept Chu Hou and the family members of Xuzhou officials, Chu Hou not only did not make things difficult, but let Xu Chu go back. Cao Cao is also a hero in the world, how could he openly do something that repays virtue with resentment?"
"I've been to Xudu before." Lu Su nodded, "When I saw Cao Cao, I felt that he exuded a heroic aura. A person like this, even if he wants to be unfavorable to the Marquis of Chu, he will definitely find a high-sounding reason. .Replacing Xu Chu is really a master move by Chuhou."
Lu Su wanted to understand why Lu Bu did this.
But Zhao Yun still said to him: "The reason Chuhou did this is because he thought that Xu Zhongkang would not be difficult to capture. Once Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, his fierce generals might become Chuhou's prisoners one day."
Since he followed Lu Bu, Zhao Yun admired his bravery very lightly. Speaking of Lu Bu's capture of Xu Chu, it was as if he was talking about an adult beating a three or five-year-old child.
Lu Bu has already joined Lu Bu, of course Lu Su will not argue with him.
He asked Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, "Will the two generals accompany me to Jianye?"
"Although Xu Chu left, there is no guarantee that he won't come back." Zhao Yun replied, "The Marquis of Chu also wants us to escort the family members to Jianye."
"If it weren't for the two generals, what the Marquis of Chu told me, I would definitely have screwed up this time." Lu Su sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Cao Mengde would dare to do such a thing, and send someone in the middle Way to intercept the family of the Marquis of Chu..."
"He sees that the Marquis of Chu values friendship." Zhao Yun replied, "If it were Liu Xuande, not to mention someone escorting his family, even if he didn't send a soldier, Cao Mengde would not bother to let his family be taken away."
"What happened to Liu Xuande?" Lu Su had heard of Liu Bei's name, but what he had heard before was not the same as what Zhao Yun described.
It is rumored in the world that Liu Bei is honest and virtuous. He is a rare gentleman and a rare honest elder.
But in Zhao Yun's mouth, Liu Bei has become a villain who has no one to escort him, and Cao Cao will not send someone to intercept him.
Lu Su looked at Zhao Yun suspiciously.
Zhao Yun replied: "I also met Liu Bei at Gongsun Zan's place earlier. At that time, I thought he was a virtuous gentleman. But these days, after following the Marquis of Chu for a long time, I realized that he is actually a little boy who can even abandon his family. People! Marquis Chu once told me that if people don’t even care about family ties, how can they care about brotherhood? No matter how good the words are, the bottom of the heart is just to use the so-called brothers as weapons for him to drive away. "
"The general said that, is there any real evidence?" Lu Su still didn't quite believe that Liu Bei was really that kind of person.
Zhao Yun replied: "What more evidence do you need? Don't you know that Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi, who lived in the back residence of the Marquis of Chu, were once Liu Bei's family members?"
"Marquis Chu took Liu Bei's family to the back house?" Lu Su asked in astonishment as he turned his head to look at the family camp not far away.
"Liu Bei was able to abandon them many times, and Chu Hou also felt that the two wives were very pitiful." Zhao Yun sighed and said to Lu Su: "If Chu Hou doesn't take them in, who else in this world is willing to take them in?"
Zhao Yun's statement, if it is placed after 2000, will definitely be complained by many people.
But Lu Su deeply agrees with this.
Not to mention troubled times, even in the ruling world of the Han Dynasty, no one would think that it was inappropriate for the successful party to receive the women of the defeated party into the rear house.
That's why Lu Su kept nodding his head in agreement.
"It's still early, and everyone is tired after this scene." Zhao Yun reminded Lu Su, "It's better to rest earlier, and we have to hurry tomorrow morning."
(End of this chapter)
Lu Bu brought Sun Ce and five thousand Jiefan soldiers to Pengcheng Coal Mine.
In order to ensure that Lu Bu was safe, Jiefan soldiers occupied all the entrances and exits except the wellhead.
Their actions were not stopped by Lu Bu, and it was the first time that Xie Fanbing had carried out the task of protecting him. If they were stopped, the hearts of the soldiers would be chilled, and it would not be so easy to use them in the future.
When he came to Pengcheng Coal Mine, Lu Bu lived in the most spacious house.
The furniture in the room was recently added.
Throughout Xuzhou, furniture styles have undergone earth-shaking changes, and people's living habits have also changed.
In Lu Bu's room, there are beds, tables, chairs and benches.
Sitting at the desk, there are many scattered small parts in front of him.
What he is assembling is something like a fan.
The wind bag at the well head blows air down the well, the wind is too small and even if there are two wind bags, it is impossible to continuously send fresh air into the depth of the well.
If the wind bag is replaced by a fan, it will be different.
The fan, which uses the rotation of the blades to achieve the blowing effect, pours the wind into the well from different places.
Then install the same fan at every intersection in the underground, and arrange special personnel to rotate the fan to achieve wind circulation.
The entire wind circulation system is very complicated, and it cannot be done by one or two fans.
Lu Bu made a rough estimate. Based on the current progress of coal mine mining, at least thirty or forty fans must operate at the same time to achieve normal ventilation in the entire mine.
Each wind turbine is calculated as a group of five people, and fifteen people have to watch one wind turbine a day.
In the era without electricity, it is true that many things cannot be solved conveniently.
If it is placed after 2000, the fan of the entire mine is taken care of by one person, and the person in charge can find time to do other things.
Although Lu Bu knew how to make a fan, he used the rotation of the blades to increase the wind flow and wind speed, and then formed a system of many fans to achieve the air return of the entire mine.
But he has no ability to build a power station, at least under the current conditions, the establishment of a power station is still a distant dream.
Assembling the parts on the table, Lu Bu was about to assemble a miniature fan, when Sun Ce's voice came from outside the door: "Marquis Chu, something really happened."
Hearing that something happened, and Sun Ce also used the word "Sure enough", Lu Bu raised his head and said, "Bo Fu came in and said."
The door opened and Sun Ce walked in.
He said to Lv Bu: "I just got the news that Xu Chu led more than a thousand Cao troops, pretending to be thieves, on their way to intercept his family."
"I think it's a big deal." Lu Bu smiled lightly, "I have already told you what kind of deployment I have made. With Xu Chu alone, there is nothing I can do for Zilong and Ziyi."
With the secret protection of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, it is impossible for Xu Chu alone to do anything to the family members in Xuzhou.
"Bo Fu, take a look at this." Apparently very relieved of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, Lu Bu beckoned Sun Ce to move closer.
Coming to him, Sun Ce saw the miniature fan in Lu Bu's hand, and asked in surprise, "What did Marquis Chu do?"
"Facing it, I'll let you know what it's useful for." Lu Bu smiled and motioned him to face the fan.
Sun Ce looked puzzled, but he still followed his instructions.
Facing the blades of the fan, Sun Ce didn't quite understand what these three small things could do. Why did Lu Bu ask him to face this?
Waiting for Sun Ce to turn towards the fan, Lu Bu shook the handle that transmits power to the blades.
The blades of the fan rotate immediately.
It turned faster and faster, and felt a gust of wind blowing towards his face. Sun Ce was taken aback and quickly backed away.
Looking at Lu Bu in astonishment, Sun Ce asked, "Marquis Chu, this is..."
"Fan." Lu Bu chuckled, "If you make it a little bigger, you can use it to fan the wind in summer. If you make it even bigger, it will be as big as a fan blade is as tall as a person. Its wind power will not be underestimated. Ten fans are placed in the mine to deliver fresh air to the mine, and then discharge the stale air inside. Once the ventilation system is formed, the craftsmen working underground will no longer be as depressed as before."
"How did Marquis Chu come up with this method?" Not sure if the method Lu Bu said is useful, but Sun Ce found it very novel, and simply made up his mind, thinking that it might be the case. His respect for Lu Bu Another layer deeper.
"Problems that arise must be resolved." Lu Bu replied, "No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, there are always more solutions than difficulties."
He said that the solution was more difficult than the difficulty, which made Sun Ce, who had already admired him, admire him a little more.
Earlier, Sun Ce was forced to serve Lu Bu.
At that time, he was still not very convinced, and would often think of finding an opportunity to leave and lead everyone in Jiangdong to revive Jiangdong.
The longer he followed Lu Bu, the weaker Sun Ce's thoughts became.
Lu Bu always has some whimsical ideas, and many of his ideas will catch the enemy by surprise when used on the battlefield.
At first, seeing Lu Bu's whimsical ideas, Sun Ce didn't think much of it.
After all, one or two strange things can't explain anything, even if they are put on the battlefield, they can still find a way to deal with them.
But as time went by, Lu Bu often came up with some novel things that he had never heard of.
And these things have specific uses, not only useful, but even play a key role!
The longer he spent with Lu Bu, the more Sun Ce felt that it was a wise decision for him to decide to join the entire Jiangdong army.
When conquering the world, you don't have to worry about the enemy's army having thousands of horses, or the enemy's mighty generals and countless wise men. After all, these are all things that can be seen and checked.
Many things Lu Bu introduced have never been seen in the world.
The novel gadgets he creates always bring unprecedented surprises to the world.
If a character like Lu Bu chooses to be his enemy, he will definitely face the new weapons he withdrew on the battlefield.
What those weapons brought to the soldiers may be a devastating blow.
Instead of thinking about breaking away from Lu Bu to establish their own family in the future, and then being wiped out by him, it is better to follow him wholeheartedly. When the world is unified, will they, as heroes, be treated badly by Lu Bu?
After thinking about this, Sun Ce's thoughts of leaving Lu Bu became more and more weak.
"Bo Fu." Putting the fan on the table, Lu Bu ordered: "Go find some craftsmen, and I will let them build the fan."
"I'll go right away." Sun Ce agreed, and left the room.
A moment later, in the open space outside Lu Bu's residence.
Twenty or thirty craftsmen stood side by side, while Lu Bu stood facing them with the small fan in his hand.
"I want you to come here. I have something that I need you to make quickly." Holding the small fan, Lu Bu said to the craftsmen, "It's what I have in hand. I want you to expand it to one of the fan blades." It is as tall as a person. Do you have the confidence to complete it soon?"
All the craftsmen focused their attention on the small fan in Lu Bu's hand.
When Lu Bu asked if they were confident, everyone present stood up and replied, "Don't worry, Marquis Chu, we will make it soon."
So the answer is so confident because the craftsmen saw the real thing.
As long as there is a real object as a reference, it is just to enlarge the small thing in front of you.
Almost every craftsman present thought that they could complete the task assigned by Lu Bu in just a few hours.
What Lu Bu said next reassured the craftsmen a lot: "I will give you one day for the first fan. Make it and try it out within one day. If it is really available, I will arrange it in the coal mine. A large number of releases. At that time, I will also give you a great credit!"
Hearing that great achievements will be recorded for them, the craftsmen were all overjoyed.
They have been working in Xuzhou for a long time, and they are already very familiar with Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's record of great achievements to others is definitely not just a title of meritorious deeds, it must be accompanied by rewards that they can't even imagine.
There is already a small fan as a template, and the confident craftsmen started to work immediately.
Some craftsmen first disassembled the small fan that Lu Bu handed over to them, and then assembled it again.
After repeating this several times, the artisans present have figured out the principle of making and assembling fans.
After figuring out the principle of the fan, the next thing they have to do is to expand it according to the proportion required by Lu Bu.
The fan developed by Lu Bu is made of wood chips.
The blades of the fan are different from ordinary wood chips. It needs to be cut with arcs, and the blades must be thinned and have an inclined angle.
This is a test of the skills of the craftsmen.
The best carpenters, blacksmiths, and stonemasons were sent to come here.
The task of masons is relatively simple. All they have to do is to polish the base of the giant wind turbine.
The structure of the base is simple, nothing more than cutting a large stone, drilling a few holes on it, and finally fixing the fan on it.
The blacksmith is responsible for making small parts. Although the main body of the entire fan is made of wood, wood cannot be used for many severely worn parts, otherwise the service life of the fan will be very limited.
The craftsmen got busy, and Lu Bu and Sun Ce did not leave.
The two stood not far away, watching the craftsmen making giant fans.
"The Marquis of Chu has many ways to do it. If the fan is really built, the two windbags at the mouth of the well will be useless." Standing behind Lu Bu, Sun Ce said with emotion.
"The fan is just the beginning." Lu Bu said: "There are still many things we need to continue to ponder. Mining coal mines cannot be done with a hoe. There are many things involved, just like on the battlefield. Our new weapons are getting better and better. The more, the more enemies will be killed, and our soldiers can avoid damage as much as possible."
Looking away from the busy craftsmen, Lu Bu looked at Sun Ce and said, "No matter what we do, we need a lot of manpower. In this world, people are the most important. The scenery of the country is infinite. If there are no people under our rule, What is the use of this country?"
****************************************
Lü Bu managed to reform the coal mine in Xuzhou, and Lu Su led hundreds of soldiers to escort the family members of Xuzhou officials, including Lv Bu, to Jianye.
The Cao and Yuan families may attack Xuzhou.
After the war, it is not certain whether Xuzhou will be lost.
Lu Bu sent his family to Jianye in advance because he didn't want to be constrained by his family during the war.
Want him to abandon his family like Liu Bei?
He will never do that!
In order to avoid the embarrassment like the battle of Xiapi, Lu Bu's best choice is to send all his family members to other places.
Once the family members are held hostage, Lu Bu will be under the control of others everywhere.
Asking him to escort his family, Lu Bu handed over the entire backyard of Xuzhou to him.
Not long after joining Lu Bu, Lu Su was of course very grateful for being assigned such an important task, and he was even more vigilant along the way.
To be on the safe side, he sent many scouts to explore the way.
Riding at the front of the team, although the scouts didn't bring back any news that anyone would harm them, Lu Su still looked around very vigilantly.
Lu Bu can hand over the entire backyard of Xuzhou to him, of course he doesn't want any mistakes on the way.
The scouts sent by Lu Su didn't find anything.
At least they had spotted a group of people trailing behind.
There were not many people in that team, only two or three hundred people.
However, there are two fierce generals with two or three hundred elites.
One of them was wearing silver armor and a white robe, and a white horse with no variegated hair under his crotch. Who would it be if it wasn't Zhao Yun?
The other man was tall and burly, with two short halberds on his back. He was Tai Shici who followed Sun Ce to serve Lu Bu.
The two of them led the team and chose trails or forests to go through along the way, not only trying to avoid being discovered by others, but even avoiding Lu Su.
Before setting off, Lu Bu had explained that they must not be discovered by Lu Su.
Once Lu Su knew of their existence, he would not be more careful on the road ahead.
No matter what kind of person, there will be a subtly dependent psychology.
Behind him were two fierce generals who took the head of the general from the army, how could Lu Su be worried about the thieves who suddenly killed his family members in the middle of the road?
Lu Bu had predicted that Cao Cao would secretly send someone to intercept and kill his family members, so while dispatching Lu Su, he also sent Zhao Yun and Tai Shici.
He did not directly order any of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici to escort, and Lu Bu also had his own considerations.
He did have several fierce generals under his command, but Cao Cao had more fierce generals around him.
It is impossible to leave Xuzhou to personally escort, so Lu Bu can only secretly arrange strong generals, but on the surface he only appoints a strategist like Lu Su to escort.
To govern the world and plan strategies, Lu Su may be able to.
After all, he was half way behind the generals when he went into battle to kill the enemy with a real knife and a bright gun.
The people Cao Cao sent knew that he was responsible for the escort, so they would not be very careful, especially General Mang who was as brave as Xu Chu, but he didn't like to use his brain very much. Go forward and intercept.
As long as Xu Chu appeared, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici who followed behind would be able to arrive later.
With the abilities of the two of them, even if Xu Chu were to fight one-on-one, he might not be able to beat one of them.
What's more, it was Zhao Yun and Tai Shici who fought together.
If there is one more Xu Chu, there may be a possibility of fighting them.
Following Lu Su from a distance, Lu Su advanced, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici also followed, Lu Su stationed, and the two followed.
It's just that compared with Lu Su, their conditions for stationing are much poorer.
Escorting Lu Bu and the family members of Xuzhou officials, Lu Su's team included men, women, old and young, among which women and children accounted for a large proportion.
After leaving Pengcheng, Lu Su traveled all the way to the southeast.
After walking for more than a day, he received news from the scouts ahead.
Not more than a hundred miles ahead is the Yangtze River. As long as they cross the Yangtze River, they will enter the Jianye territory.
Jianye is Nanjing more than 2000 years later.
It is located in the Yangtze River Basin, with well-developed water and land shipping. Although Sun Ce did not put too much thought into Jianye in the past, he still failed to stop the development of Jianye.
Lu Bu chose Jianye to settle his family members, obviously planning to move the government office here if he couldn't keep Xuzhou.
It was only a hundred miles away from Jianye, and nothing unusual was found along the way. Lu Su finally felt relieved.
Seeing that it was getting late, he ordered to camp on the spot and set off early tomorrow morning.
A hundred miles away, if you walk non-stop, you will arrive in a day and a night.
With Lu Bu and the entire Xuzhou family, it was impossible for Lu Su to urge the team to move forward.
Although it is only a hundred miles away, it will take at least two days to get there with so many old people, women and children.
After being stationed, Lu Su patrolled the camp as usual.
As he was walking, a small school ran over in a panic: "Mr. Lu, it's not good!"
"What's going on?" Escorting his family members on their way, the last thing Lu Su wanted to hear was the words "it's not good".
No matter what the circumstances, as long as the reporter utters these three words, nothing good will happen.
"Not far ahead, I found a group of people coming here. It seems that the approach is not good." Xiao Xiao replied.
"Call together the soldiers." Hearing this, Lu Su quickly ordered the junior officer: "Follow me and take precautions, in case thieves try to plot against the family members."
Lu Bu and the family members of the entire Xuzhou officials were in the team. Of course, the small school didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly sent orders to go.
There are 700 soldiers escorting the family members.
After receiving the order, they took up their weapons and ran out of the camp.
Lu Su was riding on horseback, holding a long sword in his hand, and looking into the distance with a solemn expression.
The six or seven hundred soldiers behind him all looked solemn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The sky has completely darkened, and people's vision is much shorter than during the day.
Formed outside the camp, after a long time, Lu Su saw a group of people walking in the night.
There were about a thousand people in that team, and the one leading the team was an extremely burly and strong man.
When they came to only twenty or thirty steps away from Lu Su and the others, Lu Su shouted, "Who is this? What are you going to do?"
"I heard that someone brought many beauties and money through here. We just came here to have a look." It was Xu Chu who brought people over, and he replied in a high voice: "We don't want to kill people, if we can give three to five thousand If this beauty leaves all the money behind, she can let you go."
Xu Chu is the person by Cao Cao's side. When there is no battle to fight, he is by Cao Cao's side every day.
Lu Su had been to Xudu before, and although Xu Chu's appearance could not be seen clearly in the night, the voice was very familiar to him.
Already having doubts, he asked Xu Chu, "Who are you guys? What exactly do you want to do?"
Xu Chu laughed loudly after hearing this: "I've already said what I want to do, but why do I keep asking? Either send three to five thousand beauties and keep the money, or put all your heads here. Today No matter what, I want to get some benefits from you."
From Xu Chu's reply, Lu Su had already heard that the person was not kind.
He told the small school next to him: "These people who came here are not good people. Tell the soldiers to be prepared. If there is a fight, they must protect their families and evacuate."
There were more people on the other side than them. Even though he couldn't see who Xu Chu was, Lu Su could tell from his figure and physique that there would never be anyone who was his opponent based on the people around him.
Before the two sides started fighting, Lu Su had already seen that he couldn't fight against the other side, so he made plans in advance to protect his family and evacuate.
************************************************** *
Xu Chu was not in a hurry to step forward.
Seeing a person beside Lu Su turn around and return to the camp, he asked loudly, "Are you planning to send someone back to take away all the beauties and money in the camp?"
Lu Su replied: "I don't even say who it is, it's so rude to come here, don't you know whose family I am escorting?"
"Including Lu Fengxian, all the family members of Xuzhou officials." Xu Chu replied: "If it is an ordinary person, we will not come to snatch it. The more noble the family, the more exquisite the beauties. What we want is the beauties from Xuzhou. "
Xu Chu made it clear that he was here to rob Lu Bu's family, and Lu Su knew that this battle was inevitable: "So, your honor is coming here specially for the family of the Marquis of Chu?"
"You can say that, or you don't need to say that." Xu Chu replied, "I want all the family members you escort, not just Lu Bu's."
"The Marquis of Chu entrusted me with all the family members in Xuzhou. Even though I know that there are many people, I can only fight." Lu Su pointed forward with his long sword.
He was about to order the soldiers to rush to kill, when a voice came from behind: "Grand Lu, leave this place to us!"
Hearing the shout, Lu Su turned his head in surprise.
I saw a fast horse galloping towards me.
What galloped over was a fast snow-white horse. The general on the horse was wearing silver armor and a white robe. Although it was night, he was still elegant and handsome.
It was Zhao Yun who rode his horse.
Behind Zhao Yun, there were two or three hundred cavalry galloping towards him.
Zhao Yun came to Lu Su's side, bowed his hands to him and said, "Duke Lu, the Marquis of Chu got the news that Cao Cao sent Xu Chu to lead a thousand soldiers, pretending to be thieves, in an attempt to massacre the family members of the officials in Xuzhou. Come to help."
When Lu Su went to Xuzhou, he also met Zhao Yun.
Although he didn't know Zhao Yun's ability, but from Lu Bu's respect for him, it can be seen that this person must have good martial arts skills.
Knowing that the person facing him was actually Xu Chu, Lu Su asked in surprise, "The general is talking about Xu Zhongkang who is beside Cao Mengde?"
"Besides him, how many Xu Chus are there in the world?" Zhao Yun asked back.
After receiving a definite reply from Zhao Yun, Lu Su couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat.
Of course Lu Su knew what kind of character Xu Chu was.
He brought people to rob Xuzhou's family members. With Lu Su and the soldiers around him, he was powerless to fight.
Not knowing Zhao Yun very well, Lu Su reminded: "General, I heard that Xu Chu is capable, or..."
While talking, Tai Shici arrived with more than 200 cavalry.
When he came to Zhao Yun, Tai Shici asked, "Zilong, I'm going to fight Xu Chu. You are here to protect your family."
Those who are about to be escorted to Jianye include not only Lu Bu and the family members of the former officials in Xuzhou, but also the family members of Jiangdong people who later served.
As a Jiangdong general, Tai Shici certainly paid attention to the safety of his family members.
Zhao Yun didn't intend to compete with him, but just told Tai Shici: "General Ziyi, be careful!"
"It's just Xu Chu, it's nothing." Tai Shici agreed and urged the horse to go forward.
He was only unfamiliar with Zhao Yun, so he joined Lu Bu. Lu Su didn't know Tai Shici, let alone how powerful he was.
Looking at Tai Shici's back in astonishment, he said to Zhao Yun: "Why didn't General Zhao stop him and fight Xu Chu, how could he come back with his life?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu." Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said to him, "In my opinion, Ziyi and Xu Chu should be about the same in terms of martial prowess. If even he can't deal with Xu Chu, I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can deal with him." one."
Zhao Yun praised Taishi Ci very highly, but Lu Su was still not at ease.
He first looked at Zhao Yun suspiciously, and then looked worriedly at Tai Shici who had already walked towards Xu Chu.
When he was less than ten steps away from Xu Chu, Tai Shici took out his double halberds.
Pointing at Xu Chu with a halberd in his right hand, Tai Shici shouted: "Xu Chu, since you are here, you can have a good time with me. Cao Cao sent you here, so why bother to hide your head and show your tail? You and I are the ones who lead troops into battle, don't let others It's a joke."
Tai Shici called Xu Chu by his name.
He didn't intend to reveal his identity, but when he heard his greeting, Xu Chu knew that his whereabouts had been exposed.
Since the visitor knew who he was, Lu Bu should also know who he was.
Cao Cao ordered him to act in secret, but Xu Chu was determined to kill everyone and leave, and did not intend to meet Lu Su.
It wasn't until Tai Shici called out his name that he fully understood that it was imperative for Lu Bu and Cao Cao to turn against each other.
There was no need to hide his whereabouts anymore, Xu Chu replied: "Since you know it's me, you dare to yell here, it seems that you are also capable."
"You will know if I am capable or not." Tai Shici replied, "Just hide your head and show your tail. If it spreads in the future, I'm afraid it will be bad for the general's reputation."
Xu Chu grinned and asked Tai Shici, "How many of you do you think will be able to go back alive today?"
"There are a lot of people who can go back alive." Tai Shici said without any hesitation: "I heard that General Xu is capable, but I didn't expect that the really powerful ones are just lip service."
Tai Shici's words were mocking, and Xu Chu frowned.
He put away his smile and snorted coldly, "Since you are looking for death, I will fulfill you!"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Chu urged his horse to kill Tai Shici.
The two of them were not far away, when Tai Shici saw him coming forward, he also greeted him with a short halberd.
The distance between the two sides was very close, and the war horse passed by before it could pick up its speed.
Xu Chu's broadsword was a long weapon, and he slashed at Tai Shici, but he avoided it sideways.
But Tai Shici's double halberds are short weapons.
The weapons of the two sides did not touch each other, and they had already passed by each other.
Passing by Tai Shici, Xu Chu already cried out in his heart.
When military generals encounter each other on the battlefield, whether the opponent is capable or not can be understood just by fighting.
Tai Shici made a sharp move, although he avoided him, Xu Chu realized that this man in front of him was definitely not a man to deal with.
Passing by with Xu Chu, Tai Shici turned around and heard Xu Chu ask: "Who are you? Haven't given your name yet?"
"Donglai Taishici." Taishici reported his name and surname, and then urged his horse to kill him.
When Xu Chu faced the battle, his heart was already beating a drum secretly.
In fact, Tai Shici became famous much earlier than Xu Chu, but he went to Jiangdong later, and then joined Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was in charge of Jiangdong, and fought with Liu Biao almost every year.
Wars happen every year, but Jiangdong soldiers have never penetrated into the Central Plains, so Tai Shici's reputation in the Central Plains is getting smaller and smaller.
Others may not remember Tai Shici, but it is impossible for Xu Chu not to know.
As a fierce general in the world, he has always been known for his bravery. Xu Chu has probably heard of other brave generals.
Tai Shici is one of the fierce generals he often hears mentioned.
Fighting with Tai Shici, although the two of them refused to give in, neither of them found a chance to kill each other, but Xu Chu was already a little confused.
Just dealing with Tai Shici alone, Xu Chu used all his abilities.
A little further away was a general in silver armor and white robes watching.
If the two of them stepped forward together, relying on Xu Chu's ability alone might not be beneficial.
When Tai Shici and Xu Chu were fighting, Zhao Yun said something to Lu Su.
Lu Su looked at him in astonishment: "Chuhou really said that?"
"Duke Lu still doesn't trust us?" Zhao Yun didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
"It's not that I don't believe in the general, it's just that this matter is too strange." Lu Su replied: "Knowing that he will come here, Chu Hou didn't think of killing him, but instead let the tiger go back to the mountain..."
"Xu Chu is not considered a tiger, at most he is a ghost." Zhao Yun replied: "Cao Cao ordered Mao Jie to go to Pengcheng, but he has already been sent away by Chuhou. He will bring news to Cao Mengde that Chuhou has left the Cao family. As for Xu Chu..."
Zhao Yun went on to say: "What the Marquis of Chu wants is to send his family members to Jianye as soon as possible. In order to avoid more troubles in the middle of the road, it is better not to anger Cao Cao, but let him go back first. He is just a military general, and he is a general at the end of the battle. Come on, sooner or later he will be captured?"
"What Chu Hou said is indeed reasonable." Lu Su nodded, and then shouted to Xu Chu and Tai Shici who were fighting: "You two generals, please stop first!"
The rise of Xu Chu and Taishi Cisha, at first they both wanted to kill each other as soon as possible.
After fighting for more than ten rounds, they realized that it was not that easy to kill the place, so they all changed their strategies, planning to use up the opponent's energy before killing them ruthlessly.
The two people have exactly the same thoughts, but they have similar skills, and neither of them can get benefits from the other in the fight.
Hearing Lu Su's shout, Tai Shici made a false move, taking advantage of Xu Chu's dodge, he took a few steps back.
"General Xu, you and I can't do anything to anyone. Even if we kill him, I'm afraid we won't be able to tell the winner by tomorrow morning." Tai Shici said, "It's better to step back and rest. I'll ask Lu Zi first." If Jing has something to say, I will fight with you again."
"If you're scared, it's fine if you don't come." Xu Chu said provocatively.
Tai Shici gave him a hard look: "Xu Chu, I'm willing to let you go, but don't be ignorant. If Lu Zijing hadn't told us to stop, I would have let you go?"
"You want to let me go?" Xu Chu also stared back at him, and hooked his finger at Tai Shici: "Come on, come on, come and kill me for a few hundred more rounds if you are capable."
Tai Shici was also a dissatisfied person because of his extraordinary martial prowess.
Xu Chu was so provocative, how could he bear it, and he was about to step forward with his double halberds in hand.
But at this moment Lu Su shouted: "General Taishi wait a minute, I have something to talk to General Xu."
Lu Su wanted to talk to Xu Chu, but Tai Shici glared at Xu Chu again with an angry face, and stepped back a few steps again.
Xu Chu looked puzzled at Lu Su who was riding towards him on horseback.
When it was more than ten steps away from Xu Chu, Lu Su asked, "Does General Xu still want to fight here?"
Cao Cao ordered him to come here to intercept Lu Bu and the family members of Xuzhou officials, and fought with Tai Shici. Not only did he not intercept half of them, but he felt powerless to move forward, and Xu Chu was also agitated.
Lu Su asked if there was still a fight, but Xu Chu didn't say anything, but just looked at him coldly.
"It's not far from Jianye." Being stared at by Xu Chu, although Lu Su felt uncomfortable, he continued: "If the general intends to continue fighting, I'm afraid it won't get you any good. After all, the surrounding area is under the rule of the Marquis of Chu. Not to mention either of the two generals in front of us, neither of them can be easily defeated by the generals. It is only said that dispatching soldiers and horses from various cities to intercept them can also make the general exhausted."
Although he knew that Lu Su was telling the truth, Xu Chu snorted coldly.
He didn't say anything, but agreed with Lu Su's statement.
He fought with Tai Shici, but he didn't get any benefit at all.
Looking at Zhao Yun again, he should not be a good stubble.
He agreed with Lu Su's statement, but as a general, he didn't know how to respond.
Before Xu Chu responded, Lu Su said again: "As long as the general is willing to leave, we will definitely not stop him."
Unexpectedly, Lu Su would let him go so easily, Xu Chu was taken aback for a moment: "Aren't you going to stop me?"
"It's not good for us to stop the general, why should we stop?" Lu Su replied: "As long as the general promises not to cause trouble for us halfway, we can leave now."
"Duke Lu's kindness, I will accept it." With Zhao Yun and Tai Shici present, Xu Chu knew that it was impossible to succeed, so he bowed to Lu Su, greeted the soldiers dressed as thieves, and left with him.
***********************************************
When Xu Chu walked away, Lu Su said to Zhao Yun and Tai Shici: "I still don't quite understand what the meaning of the Marquis of Chu is. Xu Chu is a powerful general in the world. If we leave him here, Cao Cao will lose a helping hand."
"Because Xu Chu is an extremely important person around Cao Cao, the Marquis of Chu doesn't plan to detain him now." Zhao Yun explained: "Put him back first, even if Cao Cao wants to find an excuse to be unfavorable to Marquis Chu, he has to weigh it. Weigh it. He ordered Xu Chu to come to intercept Chu Hou and the family members of Xuzhou officials, Chu Hou not only did not make things difficult, but let Xu Chu go back. Cao Cao is also a hero in the world, how could he openly do something that repays virtue with resentment?"
"I've been to Xudu before." Lu Su nodded, "When I saw Cao Cao, I felt that he exuded a heroic aura. A person like this, even if he wants to be unfavorable to the Marquis of Chu, he will definitely find a high-sounding reason. .Replacing Xu Chu is really a master move by Chuhou."
Lu Su wanted to understand why Lu Bu did this.
But Zhao Yun still said to him: "The reason Chuhou did this is because he thought that Xu Zhongkang would not be difficult to capture. Once Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, his fierce generals might become Chuhou's prisoners one day."
Since he followed Lu Bu, Zhao Yun admired his bravery very lightly. Speaking of Lu Bu's capture of Xu Chu, it was as if he was talking about an adult beating a three or five-year-old child.
Lu Bu has already joined Lu Bu, of course Lu Su will not argue with him.
He asked Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, "Will the two generals accompany me to Jianye?"
"Although Xu Chu left, there is no guarantee that he won't come back." Zhao Yun replied, "The Marquis of Chu also wants us to escort the family members to Jianye."
"If it weren't for the two generals, what the Marquis of Chu told me, I would definitely have screwed up this time." Lu Su sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Cao Mengde would dare to do such a thing, and send someone in the middle Way to intercept the family of the Marquis of Chu..."
"He sees that the Marquis of Chu values friendship." Zhao Yun replied, "If it were Liu Xuande, not to mention someone escorting his family, even if he didn't send a soldier, Cao Mengde would not bother to let his family be taken away."
"What happened to Liu Xuande?" Lu Su had heard of Liu Bei's name, but what he had heard before was not the same as what Zhao Yun described.
It is rumored in the world that Liu Bei is honest and virtuous. He is a rare gentleman and a rare honest elder.
But in Zhao Yun's mouth, Liu Bei has become a villain who has no one to escort him, and Cao Cao will not send someone to intercept him.
Lu Su looked at Zhao Yun suspiciously.
Zhao Yun replied: "I also met Liu Bei at Gongsun Zan's place earlier. At that time, I thought he was a virtuous gentleman. But these days, after following the Marquis of Chu for a long time, I realized that he is actually a little boy who can even abandon his family. People! Marquis Chu once told me that if people don’t even care about family ties, how can they care about brotherhood? No matter how good the words are, the bottom of the heart is just to use the so-called brothers as weapons for him to drive away. "
"The general said that, is there any real evidence?" Lu Su still didn't quite believe that Liu Bei was really that kind of person.
Zhao Yun replied: "What more evidence do you need? Don't you know that Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi, who lived in the back residence of the Marquis of Chu, were once Liu Bei's family members?"
"Marquis Chu took Liu Bei's family to the back house?" Lu Su asked in astonishment as he turned his head to look at the family camp not far away.
"Liu Bei was able to abandon them many times, and Chu Hou also felt that the two wives were very pitiful." Zhao Yun sighed and said to Lu Su: "If Chu Hou doesn't take them in, who else in this world is willing to take them in?"
Zhao Yun's statement, if it is placed after 2000, will definitely be complained by many people.
But Lu Su deeply agrees with this.
Not to mention troubled times, even in the ruling world of the Han Dynasty, no one would think that it was inappropriate for the successful party to receive the women of the defeated party into the rear house.
That's why Lu Su kept nodding his head in agreement.
"It's still early, and everyone is tired after this scene." Zhao Yun reminded Lu Su, "It's better to rest earlier, and we have to hurry tomorrow morning."
