Xu Chu and Zhou Cang are both powerful, and they don't use fancy moves when fighting, which can definitely be regarded as a "force battle", and the two sides have fought for hundreds of lily vultures.

However, at this time, Zhou Cang was actually a little unable to support it, his big knife was a long weapon, and it took more strength to use it, plus Xu Chu's strength was already greater than him, and every time it shocked his arms, he was actually just holding on, but after a hundred rounds of competition, his strength was gradually insufficient, and his arms also felt sore, if he continued to fight, he could only support thirty rounds at most, and he would be defeated.

At this time, he could only hear the voice of Mingjin from behind, Zhou Cang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Pei Qing found him a step down, and he immediately shook his sword and withdrew from the battle.

However, when he was leaving, Zhou Cang did not hide it, and laughed loudly: "Xu Chu, I am really brave, I am not an opponent, admire and admire!" ”

"Haha, you're not bad, you can hold on for so long, you're already the most powerful opponent I've seen so far, when will we have time to fight again." Xu Chu also has a very good feeling for Zhou Cang, and the two of them are now sympathetic to each other.

Then Xu Chu said to Pei Qing: "To have such a fierce general under his command shows that he is extraordinary, although the bravery of this old brother Zhou is slightly worse than mine, but he is already the world's first-class fierce general, even Ji Ling, the first fierce general under Yuan Shu's account, is not the opponent of this Zhou Laohei, so it seems that the foot should be Pei Tingshi, but I heard that you are attacking the county seat, I don't know why you came here?" If Pei Yuanjun can't give me a reasonable explanation, although I, Xu Chu, am just a cloth cloth and grass people, I can't give up. ”

Pei Qing secretly sighed when he heard this, and said slowly: "Xu Zhuangshi, what you just said is very reasonable, why did I come here?" It's a long story, I was really going to attack Qian County, but this Ji Ling has a large number of people, and the trench has been dug, even if our army can barely break the city, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties, so I set up a plan, so so, and finally deceived Ji Ling to take the initiative to attack my camp, and then our army has already prepared an ambush, as a result, our army fired thousands of arrows, the enemy army was defeated and fled, our army naturally chased after it, ready to take the opportunity to follow and break the city, but I didn't expect that the defender in the city would be He Man, the old department of the Yellow Turban, this guy refused to let Ji Ling enter the city, In order to avoid hurting the innocent, I could only pretend to retreat first, and then suddenly kill back after he relaxed his vigilance and dismissed the people, and then suddenly killed the county town with lightning speed, so that the people had many fewer casualties, but I didn't expect to meet Xu Zhuangshi, and it also caused a misunderstanding. ”

"I see," Xu Chu nodded after listening to Pei Qing's words and said: "This He Man is indeed hateful, he actually threatened the king with the people, which is also a loss to make the king have a benevolent heart and be able to put the people first, which saved the people from a catastrophe, but if you want to kill him back after you leave, this is not impossible, but He Man's cruelty, I'm afraid it will still tend to the people to defend the city again, and even capture a lot of people when he is about to retreat, and threaten the king, at that time, will the king let him go?" ”

"This ......" Pei Qing was silent after hearing this, in fact, Xu Chu said that Pei Qing also thought of it, but he has no better way at present, he can only be ruthless when he thinks about it, and he will sacrifice some of the people to get rid of this scourge, but whenever he thinks that there will be people who will suffer from unjustified disasters because of him, Pei Qing's heart is still a little uncomfortable.

At this time, I saw Xu Chu say: "If the envoy believes me, I can lead my troops into the county town together, pretend to be defeated by the envoy, and then surrender to him, the other party will not suspect that at that time, we should cooperate with the outside world, and we will be able to easily attack the county town, and at the same time, it will also avoid affecting the innocent people." ”

Pei Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Xu Chu: "If this is the case, the people of Qian County will be saved from a catastrophe, and at the same time solve a big problem for me, this is really the blessing of the people of my Qian County, Qing on behalf of the people of Qian County, I would like to express my gratitude to Xu Zhuangshi." ”

Then Pei Qing solemnly saluted Xu Chu, so panicked that Xu Chu hurriedly dodged sideways, and at the same time saluted: "What is Pei Envoy Jun doing?" It's really a pain in Chu, please rest assured that Chu will not disgrace his mission, but in this way, Chu will not be able to entertain you, because in order to be able to win the trust of He Man, Chu can only lead all the clan tribes to leave, and before leaving, he will burn Zhuangzi. ”

Seeing this, Pei Qing hurriedly said: "Xu Zhuangshi Gaoyi, please rest assured, after this battle is over, I will definitely send someone to renovate Guizhuang, and reward Xu Zhuangshi and the warriors under your command for meritorious deeds!" ”

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you reward or not, please wait a while, let's clean up, and leave." Xu Chu did not delay, immediately summoned the men, women and children of the whole village, explained the situation to them, and then left with them, and set fire to the entire manor before leaving.

Seeing their departing figures, Zhou Cang sighed softly: "This Xu Chu is really a righteous man, he tried his best to protect the manor before, but now he did not hesitate to burn it to the ground, which shows that this person is a loyal person, like this loyal and brave blade, it is difficult to find a few in the whole world, the lord should not forget to take it under his command." ”

Pei Qing laughed when he heard this: "I naturally know this in my heart, Xu Zhongkang is a loyal and brave person, of course I will not let it go, but it seems that Yuanfu you and Zhongkang are indeed sympathetic, okay, now that the manor is gone, we also have to take a good rest and recuperate, of course it is not possible here, I guess He Man will definitely send someone to investigate the situation here, so we have to continue to move forward for one or two miles, and after another day, we can directly lead the army to kill back." ”

Then Pei Qing ordered the officers and men of the whole army to continue to march for twenty miles, and then set up camp for a good day's rest.

And when Pei Qing's army was resting peacefully in the new camp, Xu Chu led his troops to the outside of Qian County, and told He Man about Pei Qing's invasion of his manor and razing his manor to the ground, and said that he was willing to defect to He Man, as long as He Man could avenge him, he could be loyal to He Man.

He Man was very happy after hearing the news, and saw Xu Chu leading his troops and family, and even ploughing cattle and other things, it was expected that he was sincere, so he opened the city gate and let Xu Chu come in, and was very enthusiastic about Xu Chu, relying on him as a confidant, but this is also the case on the surface, in order to ensure that Xu Chu is sincere, He Man sent someone to Xujiazhuang to investigate the truth, and then he completely believed Xu Chu.
