Chapter 323: An Excuse Not to Give Him to Send Troops
LΓΌ Bu took Sun Ce and 5,000 trouble-relieving soldiers to the Pengcheng Coal Mine.
In order to ensure that Lu Bu was well-organized, the Xie Fu soldiers occupied all the entrances and exits except for the wellhead.
Their approach was not stopped by Lu Bu, and it was the first time that the soldiers were on the mission of protecting him, if they were stopped, it would chill the hearts of the soldiers, and it would not be so easy to use in the future.
When he came to Pengcheng Coal Mine, Lu Bu lived in one of the most spacious houses.
The furniture in the room is newly added.
Throughout Xuzhou, furniture styles have undergone earth-shaking changes, and people's living habits are also changing.
In Lu Bu's room, there are beds, tables, chairs and benches.
Sitting at his desk, there were a lot of small scattered parts in front of him.
What he's putting together is something like a fan.
The wind bag at the wellhead blows air into the well, but the wind force is too small and even if there are two wind bags, it cannot continuously send fresh air into the depths of the well.
If the windbag is replaced with a fan, it will be different.
The fan that uses the blades to rotate to achieve the effect of air blowing is poured into the well from different places.
Then the same fan is installed at each intersection of the underground, and a special person is arranged to rotate the fan to achieve wind circulation.
The entire wind circulation system is very complex and cannot be done by one or two wind turbines.
Lu Bu roughly estimated that with the current progress of coal mining, at least thirty or forty wind turbines must be operated at the same time to achieve normal ventilation of the entire mine.
Each fan is calculated as a group of five people, and fifteen people have to watch one wind turbine a day.
In the era of no electricity, it is true that many things cannot be solved conveniently.
If it were two thousand years from now, the entire mine would have one person in charge of the wind turbines, and the person in charge of the watch would be able to spare time to do something else.
Although Lu Bu knew how to make a fan, he used the rotation of the blades to increase the air flow and speed, and then formed a system of many fans to achieve the air circulation throughout the mine.
But he did not have the ability to create a power station, which, at least under the current conditions, is still a distant dream.
Assembling the parts on the table, seeing that Lu Bu was about to put together a small micro-shaped fan, Sun Ce's voice came from outside the door: "Chu Hou, something really happened." β
Hearing that something was wrong, and Sun Ce also used the word "sure enough", Lu Bu raised his head and greeted: "Bo Fu came in and said." β
The door opened, and Sun Ce walked in.
He said to Lu Bu: "I just got the news that Xu Chu led more than a thousand Cao troops, pretending to be thieves, and was on the way to intercept his family. β
"I'm going to be a big deal." Lu Bu smiled indifferently: "I have already told you what kind of deployment I have made, with Xu Chu alone, I can't help Zilong and Ziyi." β
With Zhao Yun and Tai Shici secretly protecting, it is impossible to do anything to the family members of Xuzhou just by Xu Chu alone.
"Bo Fu, look at this." Obviously very relieved of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, Lu Bu beckoned Sun Ce to move closer.
Coming to him, Sun Ce saw the micro-shaped fan fiddled with in Lu Bu's hand, and asked in surprise, "What did Chu Hou do?" β
"Face it, I'll let you know what it's for." Lu Bu smiled and motioned for him to face the fan.
Sun Ce looked puzzled, but still did as he was instructed.
Facing the fan blades, Sun Ce didn't quite understand what these three small things in front of him could do, why did Lu Bu ask him to face this?
Waiting for Sun Ce to face the fan, Lu Bu shook the handle that delivered power to the blades.
The blades of the fan immediately turned.
It spun faster and faster, and felt a gust of wind blowing in his face, Sun Ce was taken aback and hurriedly retreated.
Looking at Lu Bu in astonishment, Sun Ce asked, "Chu Hou, is this ......?"
"Fan." Lu Bu smiled: "Make it a little bigger, and it can be used to fan the wind in summer." If you make it bigger, it's so big that a fan blade is as tall as a person. Its wind power will not be underestimated, and dozens of fans will be placed in the mine to deliver fresh air to the mine and then exhaust the turbidity inside. Once the ventilation system is in place, the craftsmen working underground will no longer be as depressed as before. β
"How did Chu Hou come up with this method?" I wasn't sure if what Lu Bu said was useful, but Sun Ce felt very novel, and simply made up for it, feeling that it was probably the case, and his reverence for Lu Bu deepened.
"Problems have to be solved." Lu Bu replied: "No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, there are always more ways than difficulties. β
There are always more ways than difficulties for him, which makes Sun Ce, who was already subdued, worship him a little more.
Earlier, Sun Ce was forced to join LΓΌ Bu.
At that time, he was not very convinced, and he often thought about finding an opportunity to break away and lead the people of Jiangdong to revive Jiangdong.
The longer he followed Lu Bu, the thinner Sun Ce's thoughts became.
Lu Bu always has some whimsical ideas, and many of his ideas will be used on the battlefield to catch the enemy off guard.
At first, seeing Lu Bu's whimsy, Sun Ce didn't feel anything.
After all, one or two strange things don't mean anything, and even if they are put on the battlefield, they can still find a way to deal with them.
But as time went by, Lu Bu often came up with some novelties that he had never heard of.
And all of these things have specific uses, not only useful, but even play a key role!
The longer he spent with Lu Bu, the more Sun Ce felt that his decision to join the entire Jiangdong was a wise choice.
Conquer the world, not afraid that the enemy has thousands of troops and horses, nor is he afraid of the enemy's fierce generals and countless wise men, after all, these are all things that can be seen and investigated.
Many of the things Lu Bu launched have never been passed by in the world.
The novelties he creates always bring unprecedented amazement to the world.
A character like Lu Bu, if he chooses to be his enemy, will definitely face the new weapons he withdrew from on the battlefield.
Those weapons may bring a devastating blow to the soldiers.
Instead of thinking about breaking away from Lu Bu and setting up their own doors in the future, and then being destroyed by him, it is better to follow him wholeheartedly, and wait until the world is unified, will they, as heroes, still be treated badly by Lu Bu?
Thinking of this, Sun Ce's thoughts about leaving Lu Bu have become weaker and weaker.
"Bo Fu." Putting the fan on the table, Lu Bu ordered: "You go find some craftsmen, and I will let them build the fan." β
"I'll go." Sun Ce agreed, and left the room.
A moment later, in the open space outside the door of Lu Bu's residence.
Twenty or thirty craftsmen stood side by side, while Lu Bu stood facing them with the small fan in his hand.
"I've called you here, I have something that you need to make." Holding the small fan, Lu Bu said to the craftsmen: "It's what I have in my hand, I want you to expand it to one of the fan blades is more than one person tall." Do you have the confidence to finish it soon? β
The eyes of the craftsmen were focused on the small fan in Lu Bu's hand.
When Lu Bu asked them if they had confidence, everyone present straightened their chests and replied, "Don't worry, Chu Hou, we will definitely build it soon." β
So the answer is so confident because the craftsmen saw the real thing.
As long as there is a physical object as a reference, it is just to expand the small thing in front of you.
Almost every craftsman present thought that they could complete the task assigned by Lu Bu in just a few hours.
Lu Bu's next sentence made the craftsmen feel a lot more at ease: "The first fan, I will give you a day." Build it in one day and try it out. If it's really available, I'll arrange a large release in the mine. I'll give you a great credit then! β
When they heard that they would be given a great note, the craftsmen were overjoyed.
After working in Xuzhou for a long time, they are already very familiar with Lu Bu.
Lu Bu recorded great merits for others, and it was definitely not just a meritorious name, but it must be accompanied by a reward that they couldn't even think of.
There was already a small fan to make the template, and the confident craftsmen immediately started to do it.
Some craftsmen first dismantled the small fan that Lu Bu handed over to them, and then assembled it again.
After repeating this several times, the craftsmen present have figured out the principle of making and assembling the fan.
After figuring out the principle of the fan, the next thing they had to do was to expand it to what Lu Bu demanded according to the proportion.
The fan developed by Lu Bu has fan blades made of wood chips.
The fan blades are different from ordinary wood chips, they need to be cut out of the arc, and the fan blades have to be thin and have an angle.
In this way, the skills of the craftsmen are very tested.
The best carpenters, blacksmiths, and stonemasons were ordered to come here.
The task of the stonemasons was relatively simple, all they had to do was polish the base of the giant wind turbine.
The structure of the base is simple, it is nothing more than cutting a large stone, drilling a few holes in it, and finally fixing the fan on it.
Although the main body of the entire fan is made of wood, many severely worn parts cannot be made of wood, otherwise the service life of the fan will be very limited.
The craftsmen were busy, and Lu Bu and Sun Ce did not leave.
The two of them stood not far away, watching the craftsmen make the giant wind turbine.
"There are still many methods in Chuhou, if the fan is really built, the two wind bags at the wellhead will not be used." Standing behind Lu Bu, Sun Ce sighed with emotion.
"The fan is just the beginning." "There are still many things we need to continue to ponder, and mining coal is not something that can be done with a hoe," Lu said. There's a lot at stake, just like on the battlefield, the more new weapons we have, the more enemies we'll kill, and our soldiers can avoid damage as much as possible. β
Looking away from the busy craftsmen, Lu Bu looked at Sun Ce and said, "No matter what we do, it will take a lot of manpower. In this world, people are the most important. The scenery is infinite, if there are no people under our rule, what is the use of this country? β
****************************************
Lu Bu was reformed in the Xuzhou coal mine, and Lu Su led hundreds of soldiers to escort the families of Xuzhou officials, including Lu Bu, to Jianye.
The Cao and Yuan families may crusade against Xuzhou.
After the war, it is not certain whether Xuzhou will be lost.
Sending his family to Jianye in advance, Lu Bu just didn't want to be constrained by his family in the war.
Do you want him to abandon his family like Liu Bei?
He would never do that!
In order not to have an embarrassment like the Battle of Xiapi, Lu Bu's best choice was to send all his family members to another place.
Once the family members are held hostage, Lu Bu will be controlled everywhere.
asked him to escort his family, and Lu Bu handed over the entire backyard of Xuzhou to him.
It wasn't long before he was assigned such an important task to Lu Bu, and Lu Su was of course very grateful, and he was more vigilant along the way.
In order to ensure safety, he sent a number of scouts to explore the way.
Riding a horse at the front of the group, although the scout did not bring back any news that someone would be unfavorable to them, Lu Su still looked around vigilantly.
Lu Bu was able to hand over the entire backyard of Xuzhou to him, and he certainly didn't want anything to go wrong on the road.
It wasn't that the scouts sent by Lu Su didn't detect anything.
At least they've spotted a group of people trailing behind.
The number of men and horses was small, only two or three hundred.
However, with two or three hundred elites, there were two fierce generals.
One of them was in silver armor and white robe, and a white horse without a single variegated hair on his crotch, who would it be if it wasn't Zhao Yun?
The other person was burly, with two halberds on his back, and it was Tai Shici who followed Sun Ce to serve Lu Bu.
The two of them led the team, and they chose to pass through the trail or forest along the way, not only trying their best to avoid being discovered by others, but also avoiding Lu Su.
Before leaving, Lu Bu had explained that they must not be discovered by Lu Su.
Once Lu Su knew about their existence, he wouldn't be too careful on the way forward.
No matter what kind of person you are, you will subtly have a dependence mentality.
Followed by two fierce generals who took the head of the general in the army of ten thousand, where would Lu Su worry about the thief who suddenly killed his family in the middle of the road?
Lu Bu had long expected that Cao Cao would secretly send people to intercept and kill his family, so while sending Lu Su, he also sent Zhao Yun and Tai Shici.
did not directly order any of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici to escort him, and Lu Bu also had his considerations.
There are indeed several fierce generals under him, but there are more fierce generals around Cao Cao.
It was impossible to leave Xuzhou to escort him personally, so Lu Bu could only secretly arrange a fierce general, but on the surface, he only appointed a strategist like Lu Su to escort him.
To govern the world, Lu Su may be able to.
When he went into battle to kill the enemy, he was half a cut worse than the generals after all.
The person sent by Cao Cao knew that he was in charge of the escort, and he would not be very careful, especially a reckless general like Xu Chu, who was brave and fierce, but did not like to use his brain, knowing that the other party's martial arts were ordinary, he would definitely not be able to suppress his temperament and directly stepped forward to intercept and kill.
As long as Xu Chu appeared, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, who were following behind, would be able to arrive later.
With the skills of the two of them, even if Xu Chu goes head-to-head one, he may not be able to beat one of them.
What's more, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici fought together.
One more Xu Chu, maybe there is still the possibility of fighting with them.
Followed Lu Su from afar, Lu Su advanced, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici also followed, Lu Su was stationed, and the two of them were also stationed.
It's just that compared to Lusu, the conditions in which they are stationed are much more difficult.
Escorting the families of Lu Bu and Xuzhou officials, Lu Su's team included men, women, old and young, among whom women and children accounted for a large proportion.
After leaving Pengcheng, Lu Su marched all the way to the southeast.
After walking for more than a day, he received news from the scout in front of him.
No more than 100 miles further is the Yangtze River, and as long as they cross the Yangtze River, they will also enter the boundary of Jianye.
Jianye is Nanjing more than 2,000 years later.
It is located in the Yangtze River basin and has developed land and water shipping, although Sun Ce did not put too much thought into Jianye in the past, but he still failed to stop the pace of Jianye's development.
Lu Bu chose Jianye to settle his family, obviously planning to move the administrative office here if he couldn't keep Xuzhou.
It was only a hundred miles away from Jianye, and he didn't find anything abnormal along the way, so Lu Su finally put his mind at ease.
Seeing that it was not early, he ordered to camp on the spot and set off early tomorrow morning.
Hundreds of miles away, non-stop, a day and a night will be there.
With Lu Bu and the entire family of Xuzhou, it was impossible for Lu Su to urge the team to just move forward.
Although it was only a hundred miles, it would take at least two days to continue walking with so many old people, women and children.
After stationing, Lu Su patrolled the camp as usual.
As he was walking, a small school ran over with a panicked expression: "Lu Gong, it's not good!" β
"What's going on?" Escorting his family members to the road, the last thing Lu Su wanted to hear was the three words "not good".
In any case, as long as the reporter says these three words, nothing good will happen.
"Not far ahead, I found that a team of people was rushing to this side, and the posture was not good." The Colonel replied.
"Gather the soldiers." When Lu Su heard this, he hurriedly instructed the junior colonel: "Follow me to take precautions in case the thieves attack the family's ideas." β
Lu Bu and the families of the entire Xuzhou officials were in the team, and of course the little colonel did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly passed the order.
There were six or seven hundred soldiers escorting their families.
Receiving the order, they grabbed their weapons and ran out of the camp.
Lu Su was riding on horseback, holding a long sword in his hand, looking into the distance with a solemn face.
The six or seven hundred soldiers behind him all looked solemn, as if they were facing a great enemy.
It was completely dark, and the vision was much shorter than during the day.
Lined up outside the camp, and after a long time, Lu Su saw a team of people coming in the night.
There were more than 1,000 people in that team, and the one who led the team at the forefront was an extremely burly and strong man.
When they came to Lu Su and the others only twenty or thirty steps, Lu Su shouted, "Who is here?" What are you going to do? β
"I heard that someone passed by here with a lot of beauties and wealth, so we just came to take a look." It was Xu Chu who brought people over, and he raised his voice and replied: "We don't want to kill people either, if we can give three or five thousand beauties and leave all the wealth and silk, we can let you go." β
Xu Chu is the person next to Cao Cao, and when there is no fight to fight, he follows Cao Cao every day.
Lu Su had been to Xudu, although he couldn't see Xu Chu's appearance clearly in the night, he felt very familiar when he heard the voice.
Already having doubts, he asked Xu Chu, "Who are you?" What exactly do you want to do? β
Xu Chu laughed when he heard this: "I have already said what I want to do, why do I still keep asking?" Either send three or five thousand beauties and leave the wealth behind, or put all the heads of you people here. Tonight, no matter what, I'm going to get something out of you. β
From Xu Chu's reply, Lu Su had already heard that he was not good.
He instructed the junior colonel next to him: "These people who come are not good people, tell the soldiers to be prepared, once the fight starts, you must protect your family and leave." β
The other party has more people than them, even if he can't see who Xu Chu is, from his figure and physique, Lu Su can also judge that with the people around him, there will definitely be no one who is his opponent.
Before the two sides started fighting, Lu Su had already seen that he couldn't fight each other, so he planned to protect his family and evacuate in advance.
***************************************************
Xu Chu was not in a hurry to step forward.
Seeing that one of Lu Su's side turned around and returned to the camp, he asked loudly, "Are you planning to send someone back and send away all the beauties and wealth in the camp?" β
Lu Su replied: "Don't say who it is, it's so rude to come here, don't you know whose family members I'm escorting?" β
"Including Lu Fengxian, the families of all Xuzhou officials are only." Xu Chu replied: "If it were ordinary people, we wouldn't come to rob it." The more noble the family, the more exquisite the beauty. What we want is a beauty from Xuzhou. β
Xu Chu made it clear that he was here to rob Lu Bu's family, and Lu Su knew that this battle was unavoidable: "So, Zunjia is here specifically for the family of the Marquis of Chu?" β
"You can say that, or you can't say that." Xu Chu replied: "I want all the family members you escort, not just Lu Bu's. β
"The Marquis of Chu entrusted the family members of Xuzhou to me, even if I know that there are many people who are powerful, I can only fight." Lu Su's long sword pointed forward.
He was about to give the order for the soldiers to rush to kill, when a shout came from behind him: "Lu Gong, leave it to us here!" β
Hearing the shout, Lu Su turned around in surprise.
I saw a fast horse galloping towards me.
Galloping over was a snow-white fast horse, and the general on horseback was dressed in silver armor and white robes, even at night, it was not at all less elegant and handsome.
It was Zhao Yun who came on horseback.
Behind Zhao Yun, there were two or three hundred cavalrymen galloping over.
Zhao Yun came to Lu Su's side, arched his hand at him and said: "Duke Lu, the Marquis of Chu got the news that Cao Cao sent Xu Chu to lead a thousand troops, pretending to be a thief, in an attempt to slaughter the families of the officials in Xuzhou, and specially ordered me and General Taishi to come to help. β
When Lu Su went to Xuzhou, he also met Zhao Yun.
Although he didn't know Zhao Yun's ability, from Lu Bu's importance to him, it could also be seen that this person's martial arts must be good.
Knowing that it was Xu Chu on the other side, Lu Su was surprised and asked, "What the general said was Xu Zhongkang next to Cao Mengde?" β
"In addition to him, how many other Xu Chu are in the world?" Zhao Yun asked rhetorically.
After getting a definite reply from Zhao Yun's mouth, Lu Su couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
What kind of character Xu Chu is, of course Lu Su knows.
He brought people to rob the family members of Xuzhou, but with Lu Su and the soldiers around him, he had no strength to fight at all.
I didn't know much about Zhao Yun, so Lu Su reminded: "General, I heard that Xu Chu is a capable person, or ......."
As he was talking, Tai Shi Ci arrived with more than two hundred cavalry.
When he arrived at Zhao Yun, Tai Shici asked, "Zilong, I'll go and fight with Xu Chu, you are here to protect your family." β
Those who are about to be escorted to Jianye are not only the families of Lu Bu and the former officials in Xuzhou, but also the families of those Jiangdong people who later joined the army.
As a Jiangdong general, Tai Shici certainly pays attention to the safety of his family.
Zhao Yun didn't plan to compete with him, but just told Tai Shici: "General Ziyi be careful!" β
"It's nothing." Tai Shi Ci agreed and urged the horse forward.
He was just unfamiliar with Zhao Yun, so he joined Lu Bu, and Lu Su didn't know Tai Shici yet, let alone how powerful he was.
Looking at Tai Shici's back in astonishment, he said to Zhao Yun: "Why didn't General Zhao stop him and fight with Xu Chu, how could he come back?" β
"Lu Gong don't worry." Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said to him: "In my opinion, Ziyi and Xu Chu should be about the same when it comes to martial arts. If even he can't deal with Xu Chu, I'm afraid that there are not many people in the world who can deal with it. β
Zhao Yun held Tai Shi Ci very high, but Lu Su was still not at ease.
He first looked at Zhao Yun suspiciously, and then looked at Tai Shici, who had already walked towards Xu Chu, worriedly.
Coming to Xu Chu was only more than ten steps away, Tai Shici took out the double halberd.
Holding the halberd in his right hand and pointing at Xu Chu, Tai Shici shouted: "Xu Chu, since you are here, kill me and have a good time." It's obvious that Cao Cao sent you over, so why hide your head and show your tail? You and I are both people who lead the troops, don't make jokes for people. β
Tai Shi Ci called Xu Chu by his name.
didn't intend to reveal his identity, but hearing his greeting, Xu Chu knew that his whereabouts were exposed.
Since someone who came knew who he was, Lu Bu should also know it.
Cao Cao instructed him to act in secret, but Xu Chu had the intention of killing all the people and leaving, and he did not plan to meet Lu Su.
It wasn't until Tai Shici called out his name and surname that he completely understood that it was imperative for Lu Bu and Cao Cao to turn against each other.
There is no need to hide his tracks, Xu Chu replied: "Since you know that it is me, you dare to shout here, it seems that you are also capable." β
"Whether I have the ability or not, you will know if you try it." Tai Shici replied: "Just hide your head and show your tail, if it spreads in the future, I'm afraid it will be bad for the general's reputation." β
Xu Chu grinned and asked Tai Shici, "How many of you think you will be able to go back alive today?" β
"There are so many people who can go back alive." Tai Shici said without giving in: "I once heard that General Xu is capable, but I didn't expect that what is really powerful is actually just lip service." β
Tai Shi Ci's words were sneering, and Xu Chu frowned.
He put away his smile and snorted coldly: "Since you are looking for death, I will fulfill you!" β
Before the words fell, Xu Chu urged the horse to kill Tai Shici.
The two were not far apart, and when Tai Shici saw him come forward, he also carried a halberd to meet him.
The distance between the two sides was very close, and the war horse staggered past before it could increase its speed.
Xu Chu's big knife belonged to a long weapon, and it slashed at Tai Shici, but he avoided it sideways.
And Tai Shici's double halberd is a short weapon.
The weapons of the two sides did not touch, and they had already passed past each other.
and Tai Shi Ci staggered, Xu Chu already secretly screamed in his heart.
When the military general encounters on the battlefield, whether the other party has the ability or not, just by fighting each other, he can understand that he is not far from ten.
Tai Shi Ci made a sharp move, although he avoided it, Xu Chu noticed that the master in front of him was definitely not easy to deal with.
After staggering with Xu Chu, Tai Shi Ci turned around and heard Xu Chu ask: "Who are you?" Don't report your first name or last name? β
"Donglai Tai Shi Ci." Tai Shi Ci reported his name and surname, and then urged the horse to kill.
When Xu Chu faced the battle, he was already secretly beating the drum in his heart.
In fact, Tai Shi Ci became famous much earlier than Xu Chu, but later he went to Jiangdong, and then joined Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was in charge of Jiangdong and fought against Liu Biao almost every year.
The war happened every year, but the Jiangdong soldiers never went deep into the Central Plains, so Tai Shici's reputation in the Central Plains is getting smaller and smaller.
Others may not remember Tai Shici, but it is impossible for Xu Chu not to know.
As a fierce general in the world, he has always been known for his bravery, and most of Xu Chu has heard of other brave generals.
Tai Shici is one of the fierce generals he often hears mentioned.
Fighting with Tai Shici in one place, although the two of them did not give in to each other, and each other did not find a chance to kill each other, Xu Chu was already a little confused.
Just to deal with Tai Shici alone, Xu Chu used all his skills.
A little farther away, a silver-armored and white-robed general was watching.
If the two of them stepped forward together, I am afraid that Xu Chu's ability alone would not be able to get benefits.
When Tai Shici and Xu Chu were fighting, Zhao Yun said something to Lu Su.
Lu Su looked at him in astonishment: "Chu Hou really said that?" β
"Lu Gong still can't trust us?" Zhao Yun didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
"It's not that I don't believe in the general, it's just that this matter is too strange." Lu Su replied: "Knowing that he would come here, Chu Hou didn't even think about destroying him, but wanted to let the tiger return to the mountain......"
"Xu Chu is not a tiger, at most he is a ghost." Zhao Yun replied: "Cao Cao ordered Mao Jue to go to Pengcheng, but he was sent away by Chu Hou. He would bring news to Cao Mengde, informing him that the Marquis of Chu had left the Cao family. As for Xu Chu......"
Zhao Yun continued: "What Chu Hou wants is to send his family to Jianye as soon as possible, in order to avoid causing more trouble in the middle of the road, or not to provoke Cao Cao, let him go back first." A military general, as soon as the battle starts, will he be captured sooner or later? β
"What Chu Hou said is indeed reasonable." Lu Su nodded, and then shouted to Xu Chu and Tai Shici, who were fighting, "The two generals, please stop first!" β
The rise of Xu Chu and Tai Shi Ci's killing, at first both wanted to cut each other off the horse as soon as possible.
After fighting for more than ten rounds, they found that it didn't seem so easy to kill the place, so they all changed their strategies, planning to consume the opponent until they ran out of physical strength, and then hit the killer.
The two of them think the same, but they think about the same thing, and neither of them can get benefits from each other in the fight.
Hearing Lu Su's shout, Tai Shi Ci made a false move, and took a few steps back while Xu Chu was dodging.
"General Xu, neither of you nor I can help anyone, even if we kill, I'm afraid we won't be able to tell the winner tomorrow morning." Tai Shici said: "It's better to retreat and rest first, I'll ask Lu Zijing if I have anything to say first, and then I'll fight with you." β
"If you're afraid, you can't come." Xu Chu's words were provocative.
Tai Shi Ci glared at him fiercely: "Xu Chu, I am willing to let you, don't be ignorant." If Lu Zijing hadn't told us to stop, I would have let you? β
"Do you want to let me?" Xu Chu also glared at him back, and hooked his finger at Tai Shici: "Come on, come on, if you have the ability, you can kill me for a few more rounds." β
Martial arts are outstanding, Tai Shici was originally unconvinced.
Xu Chu was so provocative, how could he stand it, he was about to step forward with his halberd.
Lu Su shouted at this time: "General Taishi, slow down, I have something to say to General Xu." β
Lu Su was about to talk to Xu Chu, Tai Shi Ci glared at Xu Chu again with an angry face, and retreated a few steps back again.
Xu Chu looked at Lu Su who was riding a horse towards him with a puzzled expression.
When he came to Xu Chu, there were still more than ten steps away, and Lu Su asked, "Does General Xu still want to fight here?" β
Cao Cao ordered him to come here to intercept and kill the families of Lu Bu and Xuzhou officials, and fought with Tai Shici, not only did he not intercept and kill half of the people, but he felt that he was powerless to take a step forward, and Xu Chu was also irritable in his heart.
Lu Su asked if he was going to fight, Xu Chu didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly.
"It's not far from Jianye." Being stared at by Xu Chu, although Lu Su was uncomfortable, he continued to say: "If the general plans to continue fighting, I am afraid that he will not be able to get benefits." After all, the neighborhood is under the rule of Chu Hou, not to mention any of the two generals in front of him, not a general can easily defeat. Just saying that the transfer of troops and horses from all over the city to intercept it can also make the general exhausted. β
Although he knew that what Lu Su said was the truth, Xu Chu still snorted coldly.
He didn't say anything, but he agreed with Lu Su's statement.
fought with Tai Shici, but he didn't get any benefits.
Looking at Zhao Yun again, he shouldn't be a good stubble.
agreed with Lu Su's statement, but as a military general, he didn't know how to respond.
Before Xu Chu could respond, Lu Su said again: "As long as the general is willing to leave, we will definitely not stop it." β
didn't expect Lu Su to let him go so easily, Xu Chu was stunned for a moment: "You don't plan to stop me?" β
"It's not good for us to stop the general, why stop?" Lu Su replied: "As long as the general agrees, he will not cause us trouble halfway, and he can leave now." β
"Lu Gong's kindness, I will take it." With Zhao Yun and Tai Shici present, Xu Chu knew that it was impossible to succeed, so he bowed to Lu Su, beckoned the soldiers dressed as thieves, and left with him.

When Xu Chu walked away, Lu Su said to Zhao Yun and Tai Shici: "I still don't quite understand what Chu Hou means, Xu Chu is a fierce general in the world, if he is left here, Cao Cao will also have less help." β
"Just because Xu Chu is an extremely important person around Cao Cao, Chu Hou doesn't plan to detain him now." Zhao Yun explained: "Put him back first, even if Cao Cao wants to find an excuse to be unfavorable to the Marquis of Chu, he has to weigh it." He ordered Xu Chu to come to intercept the families of Chu Hou and the officials in Xuzhou, but Chu Hou not only did not embarrass him, but let Xu Chu go back. Cao Cao is also a hero in the world, how could he openly do something to repay virtue with resentment? β
"I've been to Xudu too." Lu Su nodded: "When I saw Cao Cao, I just felt that he was full of heroic spirit. A person like this, even if it is unfavorable to Chu Hou, will definitely find a high-sounding reason. Put Xu Chu back, it's really Chu Hou Qi's master. β
Lu Su figured out the reason why Lu Bu did this.
Zhao Yun still said to him: "Chu Hou did this, because he thought that Xu Zhongkang was not difficult to capture. Once Cao Cao used troops in Xuzhou, his fierce generals might become prisoners of the Marquis of Chu one day. β
Since following Lu Bu, Zhao Yun has been very contemptuous of his bravery, and when he talks about Lu Bu capturing Xu Chu, it is like talking about an adult beating a three- or five-year-old child.
has already joined Lu Bu, of course Lu Su will not argue with him.
He asked Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, "Will the two generals accompany me to Jianye?" β
"Although Xu Chu left, there is no guarantee that he will not come back." Zhao Yun replied: "Chu Hou also means that the two of us will escort our family members to Jianye. β
"If it weren't for the two generals and the things that Chu Hou explained, I would definitely have done it this time." Lu Su sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Cao Mengde would dare to do such a thing and send someone to intercept the family members of the Marquis of Chu in the middle of the road......"
"He saw the affection of the Marquis of Chu." Zhao Yun replied: "If you change to Liu Xuande, let alone someone escorting your family, even if a soldier is not sent, Cao Mengde is too lazy to let his family take away." β
"What's wrong with Liu Xuande?" Lu Su had also heard of Liu Bei's name, but what he had heard before was not the same as what Zhao Yun had said.
It is rumored in the world that Liu Bei is virtuous and virtuous, a rare gentleman, and a rare generous elder.
But in Zhao Yun's mouth, Liu Bei actually became a villain with no escort in his family, and Cao Cao would not send someone to intercept him.
Lu Su looked at Zhao Yun with a puzzled expression.
Zhao Yun replied: "I also met Liu Bei at Gongsun Zhan earlier, and I thought he was a virtuous gentleman at that time. But these days, after following Chu Hou for a long time, I realized that he was actually a villain who could give up even his family! Chu Hou once told me that if people don't even care about family affection, how can they take care of brotherhood? No matter how good he says it, in his heart he just treats the so-called brother as a weapon for him to drive. β
"Is there any substantial evidence for what the general said?" Lu Su still didn't believe that Liu Bei was really that kind of person.
Zhao Yun replied: "What more evidence do you need?" Didn't Duke Lu know that Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi in the Hou Mansion of Chu Hou were Liu Bei's family members? β
"Chu Hou received Liu Bei's family into the back house?" Turning his head to look at the family camp in the distance, Lu Su asked in astonishment.
"Liu Bei was able to abandon them repeatedly, and Chu Hou also felt that the two ladies were very pitiful." Zhao Yun sighed and said to Lu Su: "If Chu Hou doesn't take them in, who else in this world is willing to take them in?" β
Zhao Yun's statement, if it is placed in two thousand years, will definitely be complained by many people.
But Lu Su deeply agreed.
Not to mention the troubled times, even in the rule of the Han Dynasty, if the successful party receives the woman of the losing party to the back house, no one will think it is inappropriate.
That's why Lu Su couldn't stop nodding in agreement.
"It's still early, and everyone is tired of this scene." Zhao Yun reminded Lu Su: "It's better to rest early, and we have to hurry early tomorrow morning." β
