Chapter 504: Cao Cao in a hurry

At the end of the Han Dynasty, thousands of strong men and clans were gathered to jointly build defenses against the invasion of thieves. At that time, more than 10,000 thieves attacked Xu Chu in Runan, Xu Chu was outnumbered, exhausted from the battle, and ran out of arrows, so he ordered both men and women to go to Dashi to defend against the enemy. When the enemy soldiers rushed up, Xu Chu Feishi retreated, so the thieves did not dare to approach. Until the grain was about to run out, Xu Chu pretended to make peace with the thief and discussed exchanging cattle for food. After the thieves moved the cattle away, they ran back by themselves, Xu Chu went to the front of the battle, pulled the tail of the cow and walked more than 100 steps, the thieves were frightened and did not dare to come to fetch the cattle again. From then on, in the land of Huai, Ru, Chen, and Liang, they all felt afraid when they heard the name of Xu Chu.

In the second year of Jian'an, 197 A.D. Cao Cao occupied Huai and Ru, and Xu Chu sent the people to submit to Cao Cao, and on the same day he paid homage to the commander and introduced the guards.

The third year of Jian'an, 198 AD. Following Cao Cao's conquest of Zhang Xiu, Xu Chu was the vanguard, beheaded more than 10,000 thieves, and moved to the school captain.

In the fourth year of Jian'an, 199 A.D. Follow Cao Cao to confront Yuan Shao in Guandu. At that time, Xu He and others wanted to murder Cao Cao, but because Xu Chu was always with him, he didn't dare to do it. waited until Xu Chu was on vacation, and Xu He waited to see Cao Cao with a sharp blade. At that time, Xu Chu was uneasy at home, so he immediately returned to Cao Cao's side. Xu He and others were shocked when they saw Xu Chu in the account, and Xu Chu saw that the situation was not right, so he immediately killed Xu He and others. Afterwards, Cao Cao trusted Xu Chu even more, went in and out of his peers, and did not let him leave his side. In the ninth year of Jian'an, 204 A.D. With Cao Cao's siege of Yecheng, he had military exploits and was given the title of Marquis of Guannei.

A.D. 211. With Cao Cao's conquest of Han Sui and Ma Chao in Tongguan. Cao Cao was about to cross the river, and when he arrived at the river, he let the army go first, and he and Xu Chu and more than 100 Hushi broke off. At this time, Ma Chao rode more than 10,000 horses to rob and kill Cao Cao, and the arrows rained down. Xu Chu said to Cao Cao: "There are many thieves, now that our troops have crossed the river, you should also go." So he helped Cao Cao to get on the ship, the thieves were unstoppable, and the rest of the troops were scrambling to get on the ship, and the ship was overweight. Xu Chu killed the boat climber, holding a saddle with his left hand to block Cao Cao's arrows, and pushing the boat across the river with his right hand. On that day, if there was no Xu Chu, Cao Cao would be in danger. Later, Cao Cao talked with Han Sui, Ma Chao and others alone, and did not accompany him left and right, only taking Xu Chu alone. Ma Chao was conceited of his bravery and wanted to secretly attack Cao Cao, but he often heard of Xu Chu's name on weekdays, and suspected that it was this person who followed him. So he asked Cao Cao: "Where is the tiger marquis of Cao Gong?" Cao Cao pointed at Xu Chu with his finger, Xu Chu glared at him angrily, and Ma Chao didn't dare to move. A few days later, Cao's army defeated Ma Chao's army, and Xu Chu personally beheaded the enemy in the battle. Xu Chu made meritorious contributions to this escort battle, and was awarded the title of General of the Martial Guard. And because Ma Chao asked about the Tiger Hou, the name of the tiger idiot has been praised by the world since then, and some people even think that this is Xu Chu's name. After that, Cao Cao's clan general Cao Ren rushed from Jingzhou to pay homage, Cao Cao had not yet come out of his dormitory, Cao Ren met Xu Chu outside the hall, and invited him to sit down and talk in the side room. Xu Chu only said "King Wei is coming out soon", then turned around and returned to the palace, causing Cao Ren to hold a grudge. Someone asked Xu Chu: "Cao Ren, the general of Zhengnan, is an important minister of the clan, and he deigned to talk to you, why did you refuse?" Xu Chu replied: "Although he is an important minister of the family, he is a general who guards the foreign domain." And I, Xu Chu, am in charge of internal guarding, we can just say it in public if we want to speak, why bother saying it in private. After Cao Cao heard about it, he liked Xu Chu even more and was promoted to the backbone general.

This is Xu Zhu in the previous life, but these things are things that have not happened now, let's just talk about the present.

Let's say that Xu Zhu's current official position is a partial general, originally Xu Zhu was originally a lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, and he was the commander of Cao Cao's guards, but since Cao Cao won several battles in a row, he got Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, which is a trump card.

Therefore, as soon as Cao Cao was happy, he named Xu Zhu as a partial general, or the personal guard who commanded Cao Cao, it was these three thousand ironclad troops, who specially guarded Cao Cao

Tart tart tart!

Stomp, stomp! Stomp, stomp!

When Cao Cao's army was marching mightily, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Zhongkang, send someone to see what's going on ahead......

Before Cao Cao could finish speaking, he heard the head of the guard's guard at the front say, "Lord, it's our own scout!" ”

"Let him come." Cao Cao said.

"No!" After the chief of the guard responded, he continued to shout: "Let the scouts answer in front of the lord." ”

The time was not long, I saw a scout covered in blood and very embarrassed, riding a horse to Cao Cao's approach, when he was still about twenty steps away from Cao Cao, he saw this person turn over and dismount and salute: "Lord, report urgently." ”

"What's wrong with Yuan Rang? What's wrong? When he saw that the scout was not in the right state, he felt that something was wrong, so Cao Cao hurriedly asked.

"Back to the lord, the vanguard army was almost wiped out, and General Xiahou was also seriously injured, so we fought to the death to get out of the encirclement." After the scout finished speaking, he waved his hand, and saw that behind him, there were four soldiers, carrying a stretcher, of course, this kind of thing is not a stretcher, and the stretcher is not only at this time, we say this so that everyone can understand.

In fact, it was the soldiers who cut a few branches, then crossed and tied them, and then spread something on them, so that they could carry people.

It's good that Cao Cao didn't look at it, this time, he almost didn't fall off the horse, and thanks to Xu Zhu's quick eyes, he stretched out his hand and helped Cao Cao.

Cao Cao recognized at a glance this person with a bloody face, it was his younger brother and his own beloved general Xiahoudun, and now Xiahoudun has changed his appearance, only to see that Xiahoudun's head is wrapped like a big zongzi, and the flesh and blood are blurred, and his body is also extremely embarrassed by the fire, his robe is gone, and his beard is also gone. Xiahoudun didn't even have the sword under his ribs, which was enough to see how embarrassed he was, and how thrilling he was at that time.

"Hurry, hurry up and send the military doctor to come over for treatment, if the cure is not good, Yuan Rang, I want their lives, hurry!" Cao Cao had just dismounted and was squatting next to Xiahou Dun's stretcher to watch his injuries, when suddenly Cao Cao jumped up and shouted. Cao Cao's facial features were all moved.

Everyone looked at it, hurry up and find a military doctor, this time Cao Cao's Chinese army is a little chaotic, in fact, Cao Cao is considered an elite soldier, if Yuan Shu and others are replaced, the army would have been chaotic long ago, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have not received Fu Lin-style training, so the organization and discipline of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are far inferior to Fu Lin's army.

How did the military doctor come, how did he heal Xiahoudun, and how they were scared, we don't have to go into details, in the end, after the efforts of the military doctor, Xiahoudun's injuries were finally stabilized, but the military doctor said that General Xiahou should be immediately transferred to a safe and quiet place in the rear to recuperate, otherwise Xiahoudun's injuries will worsen.

So, Cao Cao was going to order the army to hurry up, because of the appearance of Xiahoudun, Cao Cao was not calm enough and didn't think about it, and Guo Jia and Cheng Yu are now Fu Lin's subordinates, and the only Xun Yu is still in the rear, and Xun Yu is good at marching and arranging formations, he is not good at coordinating the overall situation and discovering the enemy's conspiracy.

**

Just when Cao Cao was in a hurry to rush back to Chen to leave Xiahoudun to treat his injuries, at this time, two major battles also took place at the same time in Tongguan and Qingling Pass, that is, the two major battles between Pang De and Guo Yan, Ma Dai and Zhang Xiu, and now they also have a winner there.

Let's talk about Guo Yan in the south first, as we said before, because of the wisdom of Fu Lin and Xu Huang.
