Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 621 Niu Gai and Xu Gai

Yuzhou has jurisdiction over nine counties including Runan County, Yingchuan County, Chen County, Qiao County, Yiyang County, Anfeng County, Xiangcheng County, Liang, and Pei, and its seat is Ancheng in Runan.Xu's capital was in Yingchuan, and Cao Cao's fief was in Chen, Liang, and Qiao counties.Huainan is located between Qiao and Lujiang. Li Tong, the prefect of Huainan, sits in Shouchun. Cao Cao set up the governor's office of Yangzhou in Hefei to guard against Sun Quan. Except for Wen Hui, Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Lejin are guarding here, which is equivalent to setting up Huainan County. The north and south are divided into two.

In April of the 21st year of Jian'an, Li Tong, the prefect of Huainan, died of illness. Before the news reached Chendu, Xu Huang of Xiapi had already sent troops to cross the Huaihe River, and 4 horse soldiers pointed at Fengyang.

Hearing that the Han army in Xuzhou was dispatched, Huainan was shocked. Brothers Li Xu and Li Ji discussed countermeasures with Niu Gai.

"The situation is urgent. You should immediately report to King Wei for reinforcements, and send someone to invite General Zhang Liao to go north." Li Ji spoke first.

Xiao general Niu Gai was a little bit aggrieved. Zhang Liao's 800 men beat Sun Quan's 1, almost killing Sun Quan. Why did he ask for help when he arrived at Shouchun? "The two generals guard the city, and I would like to bring [-] horses to meet the enemy."

Li Xu shook his head and said: "Xu Huang is Zhou Cang's general. We should not underestimate the enemy. We just need to hold on to Shouchun, and General Zhang Liao will attack the rear. When Wei Wang's army arrives, Xu Huang will be unable to fly."

Niu Gai laughed and said, "The general is so short of breath. Although Xu Huang is brave, why should he be afraid? Although General Wenda is dead, we are still here, and we cannot tolerate Xu Huang's arrogance. And I heard that Zhou Cang has moved to Jinan. If Wei If the king sends troops and Zhou Cang takes the opportunity to attack again, wouldn’t that ruin the great affairs of the king of Wei? Besides, if Xu Huang is allowed to drive straight in, what should happen if the king of Wei’s soldiers don’t have time to rescue him?”

Brothers Li Xu and Li Ji looked at each other: "Since General Niu insists on going to war, then please General Niu to resist the enemy, and we will defend the city."

Niu Gai gathered 1 horses and rushed to Fengyang. Li Xu sent fast horses to Chendu and Hefei to deliver letters.

Feishui flows into Chaohu Lake, with Feishui as the boundary. The west is called Feixi, and the east is called Feidong. Hefei is on the bank of Feishui River.

Zhang Liao Dexin was taken aback. Last year he had just repelled Sun Quan, but this year Zhou Cang came again.If Shouchun falls, Hefei will become an isolated city, surrounded by Zhou Cang and Sun Quan, with no food inside and no reinforcements outside, how can it defend?

"Inspector Wen, Shouchun must not fall into Zhou Cang's hands, he must be rescued immediately!"

Wen Hui frowned: "Although King Wei just made Sun Quan the Duke of Wu last month, I'm afraid that Sun Quan's heart will never die."

"Sun Quan is nothing to worry about, Xu Huang should not be underestimated. Li Xu sent a letter saying that he has reported to King Wei. I am only worried about Wenda's new funeral. Shouchun's heart will not be stable. King Wei's army has not arrived yet, and Shouchun is gone."

"According to Wenyuan, Hefei has [-] soldiers, leave [-] for me, and leave the rest to Wenyuan." Wen Hui also gave up.

"The safety of Hefei will be handed over to Governor Wen." Zhang Liao clasped his fists, turned and left to gather his troops.

"Li Xu sent a letter saying that Niu Gai has gone to Fengyang. I am worried that Niu Gai is not Xu Huang's opponent." Zhang Liao glanced at Li Dian. "Mancheng, I will give you 5000 troops to go to Shouchun to help defend the city, and Wen Qian and I will lead [-] people to help Niu Gai."

In terms of military affairs in the Jianghuai area, Li Dian and Le Jin were ranked after Zhang Liao, but they were not superior or inferior, and they consulted together when they encountered problems.

"Just as Wen Yuan said." Li Dian agreed.

The three of them gathered their troops and marched northward separately.

Niu Gai defeated Mei Cheng and Chen Lan were thieves, consciously brave, and even more jealous of Zhang Liao's defeat of Sun Quan.

He didn't expect Xu Huang's marching speed to be so fast. When he arrived, Xu Huang had already passed Fengyang, so he had to block the main road, but he didn't bother to stick to the camp and challenged the next day.

Why is Xu Huang so young?Niu Gai looked at the opponent's young general, and was very suspicious in his heart. It seemed that he was about 20 years old, and the general flag was a big Xu character.

"The person who came is Xu Huang and Xu Gongming?" Niu Gai pointed at him with a big sword.

"How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer. I am the son of Xu Huang, and so is the pioneer Xu Gai."

"Hehe, I don't know how to live or die at such a young age. I think you are young, so I retreated quickly, and it was your father who came to fight." Niu Gai said disdainfully.

"How dare the thief underestimate me, and still take his life!" Xu Gai was furious, and rushed to kill me with a big axe.

"Yeah, I still have some strength, but it's still far away." Niu Gai raised his knife to greet him, and still didn't forget to tease him. "Just because your name is Xu Gai, I can't keep you."

Xu Gai wondered, what's wrong with my name being Xu Gai?It suddenly dawned on me, and I was even more annoyed, just because your name is Niu Gai? "Pooh!"

Xu Gai was blocked by Niu Gai several times in a row. Niu Gai made a backhand stab, and Xu Gai dodged. The two fought less than ten rounds.

Niu Gai laughed loudly: "Where are you going?" He patted his horse and chased after him.

After chasing for less than two miles, a general turned out from behind the hillside, similar in appearance to Xu Gai, but older, nearly fifty years old, and more powerful. "Stop chasing me, Xu Huang is here!"

Being ambushed, Niu Gai was not surprised but smiled and said: "It's just in time."

"Oops!" Niu Gai yelled, Xu Huang had such great strength, he was by no means on the same level as Xu Gai.

Who says sons are better than Lao Tzu?Zhou Cang’s subordinates, apart from Dianman’s Wuyi, who can compare favorably with Dianwei, Wu Gangzhi slightly surpassed his father Wu Anguo, Lu Fengxian couldn’t see it when he was young, other people such as Huang Xu, Xu Gai, Boba, Pei Feng, etc. were not as good as Huang Zhong, Wu Anguo, etc. Xu Huang, Bo Cai, Pei Yuanshao, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie are so poor, Gan Xiang, the son of Ganchi, is keen on sailing the sea, and Zhang Xiong, the son of Zhang Jaw, is taken by Liu Liguai to study geography.

Xu Huang came down with a few axes, as fast as a gust of wind, with heavy force, and killed Niu Gai so much that he was sweating profusely, he was powerless to fight back.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Niu Gai flattered the horse and ran away.The left and right wings shouted to kill Zhentian, the left wing Xu Sheng, and the right wing Cao Xing each led 1 horses and surrounded Niu Gai.After Li Tong's death, Shouchun's troops were already flustered and fell into the siege of the Han army. After fighting for half a stick of incense, they abandoned their weapons and surrendered. About 2000 people escaped, 2000 were killed and injured, and more than [-] returned.

Niu Gai had no way to escape, so he had to abandon his sword and dismount from his horse, and bowed to the ground. "The general is mighty, and the last general is willing to surrender."

Xu Gai said angrily, "Should you still be called Niu Gai?"

"Don't be rude!" Xu Huang yelled at Xu Gai, ordered Xu Sheng and Cao Xing to take in the surrendered soldiers, jumped off the horse and helped Niu Gai up with both hands: "General Niu, please get up, if you win General Niu, the birthday will be fixed. I will be Report to the Duke of Liao, please seal him as a general."

Niu Gai was ashamed. "Thank you, General Xu. I still have military information to tell you."

"Huh? Please tell me, General."

"Li Xu and Li Ji are stationed in Shouchun. They have reported to Cao Cao and asked Zhang Liaobei to cut off the general's retreat. The general must guard against it." Now that he had surrendered, Niu Gai began to show his loyalty.

As expected, Xu Huang frowned when the lord said yes, "How many soldiers and horses are there in Hefei for dispatch?"
