The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 97 097
There was a hasty knock on the door, and Xu Sheng shouted outside: "My lord, Xu Chu is here from Qiao County, and he is asking to see you outside!"

Zhang Yan quickly put on his clothes and left the room. Zhang Yan asked Xu Sheng to bring Xu Chu into the hall, and he went straight to the hall.

Now Zhang Yan has completely moved Xuzhou Mu's administrative office from Tancheng to Pengcheng. Chen Qun works in the prefect's mansion, and Zhang Yan uses his own mansion as the office of the prefectural shepherd's mansion, and vacates the front yard exclusively. Leave it to the subordinates to work here, and he entrusts Biejia Chen Gui to do all the big and small affairs.

Chen Gui also did his best, and he did not dare to take the slightest bit of care, and urged his subordinates to do things well, which won everyone's love.

When Zhang Yan came to the front yard and passed the office area of ​​Chen Gui and others, he stopped for a while and praised Chen Gui before he came to the front hall.

Not long after Zhang Yan arrived in the front hall, Xu Sheng brought Xu Chu to the hall. When they saw Zhang Yan, they immediately bowed in unison: "See you, my lord!"

Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "Free of courtesy! Zhongkang, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I thought you wouldn't come?"

Xu Chu said: "Manly man, keep your word. Since I, Xu Chu, have agreed to my lord, I will never go back on my word. After I returned to Qiao County, I was delayed for a few days because of some things. Otherwise, I would have come here long ago."

Zhang Yan said with a sneer: "Hehehe, I knew that Zhongkang would never break his promise."

"My lord, I didn't come alone this time. I also brought four thousand strong warriors. When they heard that I was coming to seek refuge with the lord, they insisted on clamoring to come with me. I'm not good for a while. I refused, so I had no choice but to bring them along, hoping that the lord can let them join the lord's army."

"Since they were brought by Zhongkang, they can't be wrong. Xu Sheng, immediately arrange for them to enter the camp and distribute weapons, battle armor, and military uniforms."

"Here!" Xu Sheng got the order, turned and left.

Seeing Zhang Yan being so open-minded, Xu Chu was also very happy, and he immediately said: "My lord, my subordinates have a lot of force, but they don't know how to train soldiers. I will bring them to join the lord's army this time. I am afraid that it will be unfair to other soldiers. I hope that the master will be equal to each other and not favor each other!"

Hearing what Xu Chu said, Zhang Yan laughed and said, "Don't worry, Zhongkang, I will treat everyone equally. The things they distribute are all what you should get when you join the army. Zhongkang came from a long way, and I have never been able to go there." Greetings, I'm really sorry. It's almost noon now, and I've asked someone to prepare some thin wine, how about you accompany me for a few drinks later?"

"Thank you, my lord, for your love, Zhongkang couldn't ask for more!"

Therefore, Zhang Yan set up a banquet in the hall to entertain Xu Chu, and invited Tai Shici, Niu Jin, Xu Sheng, Chen Gui and others to accompany him.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Yan said in a loud voice: "Zhongkang Naihuai, a hero from your area, led four thousand strong men to serve me today, how could I not express it?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yan paused, remembering that Xu Chu was nicknamed Tiger Crazy, and he was also a tiger general, so he came up with the name of Captain Huwei, and said loudly in front of everyone: "Yes! Zhong Kang, from now on, how about you being a captain of Huwei under my tent?"

After hearing this, Xu Chu was immediately elated, and before he could thank him, Tai Shici, who was sitting opposite him, stood up, took a step ahead, and clasped his fists and said, "My lord loves Xu Chu so much, I will never accept it!"

"Who is this?" Xu Chu glanced at Tai Shici and asked.

Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to introduce you, this is Tai Shici, the Xiaoqi school captain under my account, and also a fierce general, from Donglai, Qingzhou."

Xu Chu cupped his hands and said, "So it's Captain Taishi. I don't know if you have any objections to me serving as Captain Huwei?"

Tai Shici said: "Now, besides me, there are nine captains in my lord's tent, namely, Zang Ba, Captain Xuanyi, Yu Jin, Captain Wuwei, Mi Fang, Captain Potie, Lu Dai, Captain Zhongyi, and Jianwei. Captain Chen Ying, Captain Zhaoxin Deng Yi, Captain Li Feng Niu Jin, Captain Wumeng Xu Sheng, and Captain Yingyang Wang Bo, among the ten of us, the captains were awarded because of military exploits, or because of excessive force. People. May I ask what you have?"

"Ziyi, don't forget that Zhongkang beheaded Liang Gang with a single blow in Gaixia, which shows his extraordinary martial arts skills!" Zhang Yan said.

Tai Shici said: "Liang Gang is just a clown, there are so many people who can kill him, it's not worth mentioning at all."

"Then what do you want to convince me?" Xu Chu's face darkened, he stared at Tai Shici, and asked in a low voice.

Tai Shici shouted: "Unless you and I have a competition, if you can beat me, or if you are equal to me, I will be convinced by you."

"Okay! It's a deal! Let's compare it, don't go back on your word!"

"Whoever repents is a turtle bastard!"

Seeing that Xu Chu and Tai Shici were in a fight, Zhang Yan insisted on a contest, and he didn't intend to fight, because he knew that if he wanted Tai Shici to be convinced, Xu Chu had to compete with him.

Tai Shici was the number one general under Zhang Yan's tent. Although he had not been here for a long time, he still got along with many soldiers. Those soldiers also worshiped Tai Shici very much, and Tai Shici enjoyed this worship even more.

Zhang Yan noticed that Xu Sheng and Niu Jin's emotions were also a bit wrong. It seemed that they were also dissatisfied with their love for Xu Chu.

That being the case, let Xu Chu and Tai Shici compete, let them see how powerful Xu Chu is, and in this way, they will be convinced.

"Since you guys want to compete, I won't stop you anymore. However, swords and guns have no eyes. When you compete, you must stop at the end, and you must not hurt the other party!" Zhang Yan said loudly.

"Here!"

Therefore, Zhang Yan asked Xu Chu and Tai Shici to compete in the courtyard of the State Shepherd's Mansion. Xu Chu held a knife and Tai Shici a gun. The two came to the courtyard respectively and stood facing each other.

Zhang Yan, Xu Sheng, and Niu Jin all followed and watched from the sidelines.

Chen Gui walked up to Zhang Yan's side, saw Xu Chu and Tai Shici were both aggressive, and asked, "My lord, when two tigers fight, one must be injured. Do you really want them to compete?"

Zhang Yandao: "If you don't compare, I'm afraid they will be more difficult to get along with in the future. Don't worry, I'll watch from the side, nothing will happen."

Chen Gui stopped talking, and stood there quietly, feeling worried in his heart.

Both Xu Chu and Tai Shici stared at each other covetously. Both of them put all their energy into it. Zhang Yan immediately asked, "Are you all ready?"

"Ready!" Xu Chu and Tai Shici replied in unison.

"Okay! Let me repeat again, friendship comes first, martial arts comes second, and you must stop at the end. You must not aim to kill the other party. I will watch from the side. If you disobey even the slightest bit, you will be severely punished." punishment! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Xu Chu said, "My lord and all of you, please be a witness!"

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Let's get started!"

As soon as the words fell, Tai Shici suddenly made a move, and the spear quickly stabbed forward.

Xu Chu brandished the broadsword in his hand and responded calmly, the battle between the two was imminent.

"Dangdangdangdang..."

Xu Chu and Tai Shici wielded swords and guns at the same time. They used what they had learned in their lives as soon as they were born, but they saw that Tai Shici's spear was like a snake, with many changes and unfathomable depths.However, Xu Chu's saber technique was straightforward, without the slightest fancy movement, but every move and style contained hidden power, and he blocked a series of attacks from Tai Shici in a daze.

As soon as the competition started, Tai Shici took a crazy offensive and tried his best.Xu Chu, on the other hand, has superb sword skills, and always protects his whole body, and his defense is airtight.

The two of them came and went like this, and quickly fought for thirty strokes, but there was no winner.

Suddenly, Xu Chu's saber technique changed, and immediately launched a fierce offensive. This time, it was Tai Shici's defense. The two fought for another thirty moves, but neither of them could do anything!

The two fought more and more courageously, neither of them wanted to stop, they both wanted to be the winner and beat the other side.

However, the two are evenly matched, but there is no winner.

Zhang Yan, Xu Sheng, Niu Jin and the others saw it clearly. They were all very surprised to see the two of them fighting so fiercely. At the same time, they all put themselves in their shoes and thought about it. How to defend?
Gradually, Xu Chu's amazing force was recognized by Xu Sheng and Niu Jin, and they couldn't help admiring Xu Chu from the bottom of their hearts.

After fighting for another thirty moves, the two had fought for ninety moves, Tai Shici's physical strength gradually couldn't keep up, and even his attack and defense became much slower.

In contrast, Xu Chu was full of energy, standing there calmly all the time, either attacking or defending.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan already knew the result of this battle. If the battle continued, Tai Shici would probably lose to Xu Chu due to lack of physical strength.

However, Zhang Yan didn't want this to happen, so he shouted loudly: "Okay, okay, enough is enough!"
