Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 86 Returning to Xudu

"Xu Du's military order named Liu Yu the prefect of Shangcai, but he had to report to Xu Du first."

One sentence, only nineteen characters, but it made Liu Yu's body startled, and surprise appeared in his eyes.In the same way, Li Tong's eyes showed surprise, and then he thought to himself that there were indeed people above.As for the other generals, they looked at Liu Yu with jealousy.And people like Chen Dao and the others were full of joy, obviously happy for Liu Yu.

"Haha, Yanzhang, congratulations!" Li Tong rolled his eyes and immediately said to Liu Yu with a smile, "From now on, you and I will guard Runan together. I am in the west and you are in the east. We must take good care of you."

Liu Yu was naturally ecstatic, but still smiled reservedly: "What General Li said, it's not about taking care of each other, but the general taking care of me."

"You boy, you're just too modest." Li Tong shook his head and scolded with a smile, "3000 people break the yellow scarves, I, Li Tong, don't have the ability, how do you want me to take care of you?"

Sitting on the horse, the two chatted and laughed for a while.Then, Li Tong turned his horse's head and said loudly: "Brother Yanzhang, I have to go, you should hurry up and get on the road."

"Okay, Brother Li, there will be a period later, and I will get drunk in the next day." Liu Yu clasped his fists and said loudly.

Li Tong laughed, lashed the horse with a whip, and set off with a loud shout, then turned around and shouted: "Okay, next time you and I will get drunk again!"

The figures gradually thinned out, and Li Tong led his soldiers slowly disappeared into the distance.Liu Yu didn't leave yet, but quietly watched Li Tong leave.After his figure disappeared, Liu Yucai turned around and laughed with Chen Dao, Xia Houlan, Zhou Cang and the others: "I'm going to go back to Xudu later, but you can't leave, Shangcai City has to be guarded by you."

"Young Master, how can you do it alone? I'll lead the bodyguards to go with you." Zhou Cang said worriedly with eyes the size of copper bells.

Liu Yu smiled indifferently, and was about to refuse, but Chen Dao and Xia Houlan tried to persuade him at the same time.Liu Yu was helpless, touched his nose, gave a wry smile, and quickly said: "Okay, okay, I will bring two hundred guards, two hundred guards are enough."

After exhorting each other a few more words, Liu Yu didn't return to the city, and rushed to Xudu with two hundred guards and Zhou Cang.

Galloping all the way, after several days and nights, crossing mountains, forests, bridges and waters, finally Xu Du was in sight.But now it was dusk, and even if he ran fast, he couldn't arrive overnight, so Liu Yu didn't plan to move on, but planned to rest for the night first.

Fortunately, they saw a village in front of them from a long distance, with smoke billowing from their kitchens, and an idyllic scenery.Seeing this scenery, Liu Yu's exhaustion from traveling for days was swept away, and his whole body couldn't help but lift up his spirits.

"Yuanfu, there is a village ahead, let's stay overnight and continue on our way tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he whipped his horse's buttocks and galloped away at full speed.

Soon, they came outside the village.This village is not simple, it has built a defense project, and the idle bandits can't attack it at all.Seeing that the village was so heavily defended, Liu Yu expected that the villagers must be very vigilant.Therefore, he didn't rush in, but stood outside and shouted loudly: "I am Liu Yu, the prefect of Runan. It's getting dark today. If you want to stay overnight, please accommodate me."

A moment later, a person appeared above the village.This person is eight feet long, with a waist that is ten girth wide, and his appearance is majestic, one can tell at a glance that he is not someone to be taken lightly.Sure enough, as soon as this person appeared, all the villagers guarding the village respectfully stood aside.

"How could the prefect of Runan appear here? Who are you, and you want to lie to my Xujia Village?" The man stared at Liu Yu and shouted sharply.

Liu Yu was not annoyed, but seeing this man so brave, his eyes lit up, and he wanted to attract him.So, he walked down to the stronghold alone, and replied loudly: "If you dare to ask the name of the strong man, I am indeed the prefect of Runan. Look at me walking here alone. If I have a deceitful intention, how dare I be so upright?"

The burly man hesitated for a moment, and then replied loudly: "My surname is Xu, and my name is Chu, and my name is Zhongkang. Are you really the prefect of Runan? I wonder if you can take a look at the official seal?"

Liu Yu didn't take out the official seal, not because he didn't have one, after all he hadn't arrived in Xudu, but because he was so excited when he heard the word Xu Chu, as if struck by lightning.

It turned out to be Xu Chu, haha, yes, he is from Qiao, and he is indeed here.In addition, it is recorded in historical books that he defected to Cao Cao in the second year of Jian'an, that is, in 197 AD.In other words, he has not defected to Cao Cao yet, which means that I have a chance... a chance to accept this general!

Haha, tiger idiot Xu Chu, this man is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also a man of loyalty.He defected to Cao Cao, and he was born and died for Cao Cao all his life. When Cao Cao died, he vomited blood in grief.Such a generation, how can I, Liu Yu, not take it under my account when I meet it?
"Xu Zhuangshi, the prefect of Runan is originally Cai Yang, I believe you know it too?" Liu Yu didn't have an official seal, so naturally he couldn't show it, so he had to explain slowly.

Xu Chu naturally knew that the prefect of Runan was Cai Yang, but he also knew that Cai Yang was killed by Huang Jin. After all, he was not far from Runan, half a month was enough for him to know the situation.That's why he believed Liu Yu a little bit.

"That's right, Cai Yang is indeed the prefect of Runan, but Cai Yang has already been killed by Huang Jin. Are you really the new prefect?" Xu Chu couldn't help asking aloud with an idea.

Seeing that Xu Chu believed him, Liu Yu smiled and shouted again: "Yes, I am the new prefect Liu Yu and Liu Yanzhang. Prefect Cai was killed by Huang Jin, and I was appointed as prefect of Runan because of my efforts to turn the tide."

"Turn the tide, Liu Yu, let me tell you why this name feels familiar." Xu Chu muttered, and suddenly shouted in surprise, "Are you Liu Yu, the man who broke through 3000 yellow scarves with [-] troops?"

According to false rumors, [-] yellow scarves have turned into [-] yellow scarves here.Liu Yu couldn't help touching his nose when he heard him say the word Rentu, and replied helplessly: "Yes, it's me, but I'm not as good as Bai Qi, so I dare not call myself Rentu. I'm reporting to Xudu, because it's dark So I want to stay overnight."

At this time, without waiting for Xu Chu to reply, several people suddenly appeared on the top of the village building, among them was an old man who seemed to be very powerful, and everyone surrounded him.He talked to Xu Chu a few words, and occasionally pointed at Liu Yu, as if discussing Liu Yu.And there was another person beside him, named Xu Ding, who was also very tall and burly, and joined in the debate after a while.

Liu Yu didn't know what they were arguing about, but after waiting for a while, the gate of the village was suddenly opened, and a group of people came out from inside.The leaders were Xu Chu and the old village head Xu, as well as Xu Chu's brother Xu Ding.And behind them, there is a group of young and strong youths, each with weapons in their hands.

The old village chief Xu looked Liu Yu up and down, and after a while, he slowly said: "In the past, it is common for pedestrians to stay overnight, but recently the Gebei thieves often raid the village, and we have to be vigilant in case there are spies. Come in."

The old village head was cunning, he kept silent about Liu Yu's identity, and only said the reason for his vigilance.As a result, Liu Yu couldn't say anything, but was a little embarrassed.

The old village chief didn't care about Liu Yu's reaction, but continued: "However, I saw that the general's armor and the armor of those personal guards belonged to the army, so it seems that the general is unlikely to be Ge Pei. A thief. But the younger generation has poor eyesight and didn't recognize the general."

Sure enough, he was cunning. He only mentioned Liu Yu's identity at this time, and pushed the reason above the eyes of the younger generation. What else could Liu Yu say, no wonder everyone said he was cunning and cunning!But this time, the old village head Xu made a mistake. Liu Yu didn't mean to blame him. He only wanted to recruit Xu Chu, so he didn't have the time to blame him.

But he didn't speak, but Xu Ding on the side muttered, "Who knows if Yijia was snatched, maybe they just wanted to sneak in like this."

The sound is very small, but everyone can hear it.Liu Yu was a little unhappy to hear that, but before he said anything, the old village head had already glared at Xu Ding, and then hurriedly said: "It is an honor for the General to come to my Xujia Village. General, please hurry up." come in."

As he spoke, he motioned for Xu Chu to lead the crowd in.Xu Chu clasped his fists at Liu Yu with a burly back, and said in a low voice: "Come with me, put the horse away first."

With that said, he turned around and walked away.Liu Yu looked at his back, his eyes were full of smiles, and he laughed secretly: "Haha, there is really nowhere to find it, and it is easy to get here. I was thinking of recruiting those famous generals. Send Xu Chu here. Haha..."

Laughing to himself, he followed, feeling agitated.
