three kings

Chapter 104 "Tiger Crazy" Xu Chu

The news of the victory spread throughout all the cities and counties in Nanyang County, and the people everywhere also celebrated.

Sun Can also held a celebration banquet in the government office to celebrate the victory and reward the sergeants under his command.

Zhang Liao, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao were named and commended by Sun Can.Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, who had never been treated like this, shed tears of gratitude, congratulating themselves for finding a good lord.

After this battle, Sun Can's reputation has also been greatly improved, and many talents who can be called top-notch have also come to work under his command, and Liang Xi from Chen Dao in Runan and Tuo County in Chenjun is among the top figures.

Chen Dao and Chen Shuzhi are highly skilled in martial arts, shrewd and capable, even Zhou Cang is no match for him.

As for Liang Xi Liang Ziyu, he has outstanding literary talents and has unique insights into governing government affairs. Even Gu Yong is willing to bow down to him in some places.

Time flies, and it is early spring and March in a blink of an eye.

But Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang, tyrannical and tyrannical, his arrogance was getting higher and higher day by day, he slaughtered good people for no reason, arbitrarily killed the ministers of the court, raped the court ladies, and slept in the dragon bed at night, none of the officials dared to do anything to him.

That day, after Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo, he rushed on non-stop and arrived at Chenliu.

Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, was friends with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and Chenliu County was under the administration of Yanzhou, and Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was a loyal minister and the most resolute opponent of Dong Zhuo among the scholar-bureaucrats.

Therefore, Cao Cao is very safe here.

Cao Cao sold all the wealth left by his ancestor Cao Jie in Chenliu. After obtaining the consent of the Wei family, one of the four merchants of the Han Dynasty, he raised a white flag for recruiting soldiers and wrote the word "loyalty" to recruit soldiers.

Many independent heroes in Yuzhou joined Cao Cao's rebel army in small groups.

Cao Cao's momentum became more and more powerful. Seeing that the time was right, he issued a call to discuss Dong Zhuo.

The proclamation spread to Wancheng, and the proclamation said: "Cao and others would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; the filthy palace was banned, and the people were killed; he was violent and unkind, and the crimes piled up! Today, according to the emperor's secret edict, Da Gather righteous soldiers, vow to clear the emperor's side, and kill the group of murderers. Hope that the volunteers will vent public anger; support the royal family and save the people. The call to action can be implemented as soon as possible."

"Haha!" Sun Can smiled and asked the emissary, "Meng De, how good it is!"

The envoy replied: "Dr. Cao is in good health, but he misses your lord a little. I hope you will go early and get drunk together."

"Chan is a minister of the Han Dynasty, and he should put righteousness first. There is no time to delay the matter of breaking Dong Zhuo. The envoy, please report to Meng De. As soon as Can's trivial matter is over, he will immediately send his troops north to meet him." Sun Can can be said to hate Dong Zhuo's atrocities. Deep down, he agreed without any hesitation.

Immediately, the generals gathered to raise their tents, and all the civil and military personnel under their command stood on both sides.Sun Can read the proclamation and said, "I want to send troops to respond to Meng De. What do you think?"

Xu Huang has always been loyal to the emperor, and his heart is attached to the big man. He came out of the squad and said: "I think we should send troops. Dong's bandits will disrupt the country and destroy the country. This is a just act, and we should respond."

Zhang Liao also said: "Dong Zhuo is violent and kills like hemp. He often takes pleasure in slaughtering people. He should be eliminated. Now that the heroes are calling for Dong, this is the best time to eliminate Dong."

Liu Hua said: "This is a matter of conforming to the hearts of the people. Why don't we go? What's more, this trip can make friends with heroes all over the world and win people's hearts. At the same time, it can also kill generals and capture the flag, and raise the prestige of our army so that we can develop in the future."

Everyone in the hall also agreed.

Sun Can originally decided to go north to meet Cao Cao and convene everyone to discuss, just to let them express their opinions.Seeing that everyone agrees, he said: "Well, since this is the case, our army will go out together in this battle, so that the heroes of the world will not dare to underestimate us. Uncle Zhi, Yuan Shao, you stay and guard Wancheng. When I am away, Wan The whole city is managed by Yuan Tan. The rest of the generals and elites follow me to Suanzao Yuqunxionghuimeng."

"I will respect the order of the lord and general." Everyone accepted the order in unison.

Three days later, Sun Can set off with [-] elite troops in person, with Xu Huang as the pioneer and set off to join Cao Cao in Suanzao.

On this day, I went to Xu County.

Liu Hua suddenly remembered something, and said: "Lü Bu is brave and invincible. Although he has no Chitu's help, it is hard to shake his mighty strength. In Qiao County, not far from Xu County, there is a man named Xu named Chu, who possesses unstoppable courage. , and extremely loyal, and his martial arts are no less than Yide, if Can'er invites him to come out of the mountain, he will not be afraid of Lu Bu's bravery."

Sun Can nodded and said: "Yafu's words are definitely not bad. It is comparable to Yide, and it is indeed worth going. Yafu and the others will be here to wait for me and Yide to invite him."

Liu Hua smiled and nodded.

Sun Can called Zhang Fei, led Fan's personal guards, and flew towards Qiao County.

After traveling for two days, we arrived at Qiao County.

The wayfinder asked, "Uncle, where does Xu Chu live?"

The passer-by immediately replied: "Xu Zhuangshi and a group of people live in Xujiawu by the mountain."

Inquiring along the way, Sun Can found that this person was very famous, and passers-by knew where he lived.In less than a moment, they arrived at Xujiawu.

Xujiawu is actually a small city wall made of earth, bricks and stones.Very ingenious, very suitable for defending against incoming enemies.Sun Can thought to himself, "If you are stationed for a long time, you can also use this method to build barriers in the camp, which will have a miraculous effect on preventing surprise attacks."

At this time, there was a burst of shouting.

A nine-foot-tall man with an unusually large frame was instructing a group of strong men to practice martial arts in the square in Xujiawu.That man's physique was stronger than Lu Bu's, and his pitch-black eyes were shining with cold murderous intent like a beast.

Sun Can knew immediately that this person was Xu Chu he was looking for.

Sun Can guessed right, that person was Xu Chu.

Xu Chu had obviously spotted their countless guests, and looked at Sun Can, and then at his personal guards, then his eyes became more and more fierce, and finally settled on Zhang Fei.His eyes were sharp and excited, and he felt like he hadn't met an opponent for a long time.Zhang Fei's gaze also changed with Xu Chu's changes, and gradually he had awe-inspiring fighting spirit.

Xu Chu took out Chi You's saber, pointed at Zhang Fei and said, "Let's fight a round first, and we'll talk about something after the fight."

Zhang Fei looked at Sun Can.

Sun Can knew that if people like Xu Chu didn't agree with him, even if he killed him, he would not give in, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

Xu Chu asked someone to bring a horse, intending to fight Zhang Fei's horse, and the people in the dock very consciously gave way to a vacant seat.

Xu Chu didn't care too much, seeing that Zhang Fei was getting ready, he jumped on his horse and raised his saber, aiming at Zhang Fei to strike.The two generals circled their horses, drew out their swords and spears, and fought in one place.It was a fight, Xu Chu was as strong as a bear, and Zhang Fei was as fierce as a tiger.Swords and spears were thrown at each other, and the voices shook the sky.

In the battle against Sibaihe, there is still no winner.The two fought more and more bravely, roaring again and again, and the battlefield was filled with the fire of weapons colliding with each other.

The people on both sides who only looked at each other were so idiotic and sinful that they forgot to shout.

Unconsciously, they fought for another [-] rounds, and the two were still extremely brave, but Xu Chuzhi's horse was overwhelmed and gradually lost his strength.

Fearing that Xu Chu might make a mistake, Sun Can immediately shouted, "Stop, both of you."

Zhang Fei returned to his horse and stopped, but Xu Chu was a little unhappy.

Sun Can said: "Xu Zhuangshi, you are short of horses, and you will undoubtedly lose in the battle. How about riding my horse and fighting again?"

Xu Chu disappeared immediately in displeasure, and said happily, "That's very kind, thank you so much."

Sun Can gave the horse to Xu Chu, and said to Zhang Fei: "I know that you are warlike, and it is really difficult to enjoy yourself under my command. Today, I make an exception and let you fight a big battle, and I feel relieved."

Zhang Fei laughed, "My lord knows me." But he thought to himself: "My lord is good to me, old Zhang. I have nothing to say. He came here this time to persuade this person to join him. Wait for me to ask for my lord's help." That." The thought flashed through his mind.

The two fought again, and fought for more than two hundred rounds, regardless of the outcome.

Zhang Fei held Xu Chu's sword up with his spear, and said with a smile, "You and I are similar in means, how long will we be able to win the battle?" Xu Chu also said: "A certain family also knows, but similar opponents are hard to find. If you don't fight today, you will be happy tomorrow. I'm afraid it's annoying."

"I have a way to solve your troubles." Zhang Fei laughed.

Xu Chu said: "Really? Come quickly."

Zhang Fei forced Xu Chu back with one move, retracted his spear and pointed at Sun Can and said, "This is my lord Sun Can, the famous lord of the world, why don't you join my lord's command, you and I can compete every day, wouldn't it be nice."

"Is it Sun Ziyu, the prefect of Wancheng who broke the yellow scarf, apart from Zhang Rang, who stabbed Dong Zhuo twice?" Xu Chu was a little surprised, obviously he had heard of Sun Can's reputation.

Zhang Fei said, "Exactly."

Xu Chu immediately got off his horse and paid homage, saying: "The Caomin's surname is Xu, their first name is Chu, and their courtesy name is Zhongkang. I pay my respects to the prefect. Everything the prefect does is for the sake of us and the common people. The Xu family is willing to serve you."

Sun Can laughed loudly and said, "Zhongkang is so brave, it's my good fortune to be under Can's tent today!"

Immediately appointed Xu Chu as the captain in front of the account, and gave him his war horse.

Thank you Xu Chu!

Sun Can said seriously again: "The captain in front of the tent is to protect my safety, follow me on the battlefield, and Can's life will be handed over to Zhongkang today!"

Xu Chu was inexplicably moved when he heard the words, and said seriously: "The final general will definitely swear to the death to protect the safety of the lord."

The next day, Sun Can rushed back to Xu County and joined the army to Suanzao.

As soon as Cao Cao issued the document, the princes of all towns raised their troops to respond: in the first town, the later general Nanyang prefect Yuan Shu.In the second town, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou.In the third town, Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou.In the fourth town, Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou.In the fifth town, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County.In the sixth town, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu.In the seventh town, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun.In the eighth town, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Sanyo.In the ninth town, Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei.In the tenth town, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai. No.11 town, Guangling prefect Zhang Chao. No.12 Town, Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou. No.13 town, Xiliang prefect Ma Teng. No.14 Town, Beiping prefect Gongsun Zan. No.15 town, Shangdang prefect Zhang Yang. No.16 Town, Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, Changsha prefect. No.17 town, Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, the Marquis of Qi Township. No.18 town, the traitor Cao Cao (at this time, Cao Cao's identity is the traitor announced by Dong Zhuo). No.19 Town, Sun Can, the prefect of Wancheng, and the number of soldiers and horses from all walks of life vary. There are [-] soldiers, [-] to [-] soldiers.

A few days later, Sun Can's army arrived in Suanzao smoothly.
