Cao Cao led the victorious army and returned to Juancheng, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren got the news early, and waited outside the city early, and when they saw Cao Cao coming, they stepped forward to greet and ask: "Or the lord god is mighty, and he pacified these yellow turban thieves as soon as he got out of the horse!" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "You're slapping me again, but then again, we've had a lot of dealings with the Yellow Turban thieves, whether it's the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago, or the Qingzhou soldiers recruited this year, this time it's He Yi and Huang Shao and them, it's really my ability is limited, otherwise Zhang Yan, Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai, these Black Mountain thieves and white wave thieves, I will also clean them up sooner or later!" ”

Xun Yu came over and said: "The reason why the battle can end so quickly this time is because most of the soldiers in the army are Qingzhou soldiers who were once Yellow Turbans, and they communicated with the enemy on the eve of the battle, so most of them have come to surrender before the war starts, and the Yellow Turban captives have also wavered after seeing the strength and treatment of the Qingzhou soldiers, so the recruitment and surrender work after the war is also smooth!" ”

Cao Cao got off the horse, patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder and said, "I have another task for you, train these soldiers to become a tiger and wolf division as soon as possible for me!" ”

"This one is natural!" Xiahoudun patted his chest and said, but after seeing Cao Cao's strange smile, he felt a little wrong, "Wait, Meng De, what do you mean by that?" You don't want me to stay in the rear, do you? ”

Cao Cao and Xun Yu glanced at each other: "This time Yuan Rang has become smarter!" ”

Xiahoudun said unhappily: "Wen Ruo I know that Juancheng's status is very important, but there is Zixiao, it's okay, right?" Don't you think it's a waste for me to be a general like me guarding the city every day? ”

Xun Yu said with a smile: "What Cao Gong said is sincere, the combat ability of the Qingzhou soldiers is really strong, but the conduct is not very good, do not change the nature of the previous thieves, this time I heard that many people have robbed the people, Cao Gong is very angry!" ”

"Huh!" Xiahoudun looked at Cao Cao with some embarrassment, and there was some shame in his eyes.

Cao Cao also became serious: "Military discipline and the combat effectiveness of the army cannot be ignored, your soldiers are known to be brave and fearless of death, but the discipline of the army is too bad, it was just an individual phenomenon before, this time it was dozens of people who collectively robbed the people's property, I have beheaded them all, Yuan Rang, don't forget the shame of being kidnapped by your own subordinates last year!" ”

Xiahou was embarrassed, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "I know that I am wrong, if such a thing happens again, you don't need Meng De to say, I will apologize with death first!" ”

"If I weren't your head!" Cao Cao said sternly, "It is an army that has always been impeccable in terms of military discipline and combat effectiveness!" Although Zixiao's soldiers are not as brave as you, but since the beginning of the army, no soldier has done anything against military discipline, and Zixiao was also a person who had to fly eagles and lackeys when he was young, and did not check his behavior, but now, he can lead by example, Qiu has not committed any crimes, and can you? This is the real purpose of my efforts to let you defend Juancheng together, and if the loyalty and courage of the two of you can complement each other, who else can defeat our army? ”

Xiahoudun said loudly: "Meng De is painstaking, I should keep it in my heart, and repay Meng De's trust and kindness with real results!" ”

Xu Chu also led his clan to come at this time: "I heard the words of the lord, and sure enough, I Xu Chu didn't choose the wrong person!" ”

Cao Ren looked at Xu Chu, who was five big and three thick, and said, "Lord, who is this?" ”

"Oh, I haven't told you yet, this is my biggest gain from this southern expedition, Xu Chu!" Cao Cao took Xu Chu's hand and introduced it to the generals.

Xu Chu has seen everyone one by one: "Under Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang, I have seen all the generals!" ”

Xun Yu said: "General Xu Chu and Dian Wei fought for a day and a night, and now it has become a good story in the army!" ”

"Really?" Xiahoudun looked at Xu Chu, only to see that others looked quite honest, but subconsciously gave people an inviolable majesty, and said to Cao Cao in his heart, "I understand, with General Xu Chu as the vanguard, even if Lu Bu comes to Mengde in person, you have something to fear, right?" ”

"Well, those who know me, it is none other than Yuan to let you!" Cao Cao laughed.

Cao Ren took the opportunity to say: "The fine work we planted in Juye recently reported that the army of Xue Lan and Li Feng, the commander of Lu Bu, because of the lack of food and grass, and seeing that we had no intention of attacking, he connived at most of his soldiers to go out of the city and plunder. ”

"Well, without further ado, our army should not enter the city, the army will march with me into Juye City, and we must take Dongjun before the enemy notices!"

Sanyo-gun, Juye Castle.

Xue Lan, Li Feng was still asleep, he heard the sudden sound of people and horses neighing in the city, and when they hurriedly put on their clothes and armor and led the troops to the city to see, they saw that the city was full of dense Cao army, and immediately felt that the emperor was in desperation, and in desperation, he could only take the remaining 2,000 men and horses in the city out of the city to fight.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "With such a weak general, you dare to go out of the city to fight?" ”

Dian Wei was just about to go out of the horse, Xu Chu had already slapped the horse and danced the knife out of the battle: "Since I voted for the lord, I have been the captain of the school, and today I would like to take the heads of these two people, thinking that it is a gift to see the lord!" ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed: "Okay, I'm here, watch Xu Chu kill the enemy!" ”

Dian Wei smiled: "Okay, I'll let you go once!" ”

Before Xu Chu came out of the horse formation, he shouted at Li Feng and Xue Lan: "The enemy will come and die quickly!" ”

Li Feng was furious, took his painting halberd from the soldier's hand and killed Xu Chu: "I am not afraid of Cao Cao coming in person, what are you calling here as a nameless general, shut up for uncle!" ”

"He even called himself an uncle in front of me! At least you have to have the ability to match this uncle! Am I an unknown general, you asked me about the knife in my hand first! Xu Chu's legs clamped the horse's belly, raised his knife, and his momentum changed, which was very different from his previous honest appearance, and even Dian Wei behind him couldn't help but be stunned.

"Drink!" Li Feng's halberd had already hit Xu Chu's heart, "Then you can go to the underworld and ask those ghosts!" ”

"Hmph, look at the knife!" Xu Chu completely ignored Li Feng's painting halberd, but directly shouted, raised his big knife and slashed at Li Feng.

Li Feng sneered: "You big fool, you are looking for your own death, can your knife still be longer than my halberd?" ”

"It's not as long as your halberd!" Xu Chu also sneered, and the knife fell as he spoke, and at the moment when Li Feng's painting halberd was about to touch his armor, the big knife slashed on the handle of the painting halberd, and then only heard a crisp sound of metal breaking, and the painting halberd was cut in half by Xu Chu.

"What?" Li Feng couldn't help but be shocked.

This is not all, Xu Chu slapped the broken halberd on the top with a knife, and the broken halberd directly flipped over and then stabbed into Li Feng's chest with great speed just now.

"Poof!" Li Feng immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at his weapon on his chest in surprise, and muttered, "How is it possible?" ”

"Do you think you're holding the Fang Tian Painting Halberd?" Xu Chu looked coldly at Li Fengdao, who had fallen off the war horse, "Even if this is Fang Tian's painting halberd, you are not Lu Bu!" ”

"Ah, I actually killed Li Feng in two rounds!" Xue Lan saw that Li Feng was killed by Xu Chu in an instant, and immediately did not dare to fight, so he immediately turned his horse and fled towards the city, and just arrived at the drawbridge, a group of men and horses suddenly flashed out, it was Li Quan's ambush in advance, Li Quan's helmet and armor, pointed at Xue Lan and scolded: "Xue Lan, do you recognize me!" ”

Xue Lan didn't know Li Quan, and his subordinates were about to attack: "Where did you come from, wild boy, hurry up and get out of the way!" ”

Li Quan said angrily: "Father Li Gan was mutilated to death by you and Li Feng with tricks, and today I, Li Quan, have come to avenge my father!" ”

"Oh, it turned out to be that Li Gan's rabbit cub, he died in my hands, what can you do with a yellow-mouthed child?" Xue Lan came to his senses at this time, Li Gan is also a heroic figure, and he is also a hero who gathered thousands of diners in the Cheng clan, and led his subordinates to follow Cao Cao a few months ago, defeated the Yellow Turban thief Hushou in Shouzhang, and followed Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shu and conquer Xuzhou. Cao Cao sent him back to Chengshi to appease the people of the counties. It's hateful that this Li Gan didn't obey his own surrender, and he also killed him for the benefit of General Lu Bu, but now he saw Li Quan, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, calling for battle in front of him, so he naturally wouldn't take it seriously.

But Xue Lan's soldiers did not give face to their main general, they were already frightened by Cao Cao's army, and they were frightened by Xu Chu's bravery, and now they were caught by Li Quan's ambush soldiers, and their morale was completely reduced to the lowest, and most of them had fled before the battle.

"Damn!" Xue Lan saw that there were only a few hundred of his subordinates left, and they were still decreasing, and his heart sank, "There are still thousands of us in Changyi City, everyone retreat there with me, and then ask General Lu for help!" ”

At that moment, Xue Lan took the rest of the people and horses to the giant field.

"Want to run? It's not that easy! Li Quanjing saw that Xue Lan was going to escape, how could he let it go, so he immediately opened his bow and arrows and shot several arrows at Xue Lan.

It's a pity that the wind is chilling at this time, and several arrows are blown away from the direction by the strong wind, only hitting Xue Lan's mount and shoulder, Li Quan still wants to chase and kill, but was stopped by Cao Cao, who came: "No need to pursue, I expected that this Xue Lan would flee to Changyi after the defeat, and I have ordered Zi Ke to lead the troops to ambush on the road in advance, let's go into the city to settle the people, I still have a task for you?" ”

Li Cheng hated and said: "It's a pity that I can't kill this wicked person with my own hands!" ”

"Don't worry, kid!" Cao Cao patted Li Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Today, you and Zhong Kang have both won the first merit, both of them are excellent, worthy of being a fierce general under my Cao Mengde, I also regret your father's death, and his subordinates will be under your command in the future!" ”

"Thank you, lord!" Li Quan knelt down in the tunnel.

"That's right!" Cao Cao had already ridden his horse into the city gate, looked back at Li Dian and said, "I instructed Zi Ke to capture Xue Lan alive, and then escort him to you for disposal!" ”

"Lord!" Li Quan's eyes were tearful when he heard Cao Cao's words, "The kindness of the lord will not be repaid in case of any event!" ”
