Chapter 195 The battle report from Sizhou
Xiahoudun looked back at Xu Chu, only to see a smile on his face, but he knew in his heart that this person was terrible, an internal force like him should be able to hurt people's lives a hundred steps away, of course, that is only for ordinary people, for a master like him, but it can't do any harm.
Even so, it is enough to make people frightened, and I can't help but think about what I said just now, if I fight him, I am afraid that I will lose within a hundred moves, and this is still the maximum evaluation of myself.
"Lord Xu Zhuang is really a miracle, let me wait for an eye-opener, in Luoyang City, I have never seen such a powerful person as the owner of the village, come, I salute you a bowl!" Cao Cao picked up the bowl and admired.
Xu Chu laughed, responded boldly, drank it all, put down the wine bowl and asked, "I don't know how much I have this ability compared to the Peach Blossom Valley Lord?" ”。
As soon as everyone heard his question, they fell silent again, although the Xiahou brothers were also very impressed when they saw that the owner of the village had shown his martial arts, but the two owners of Peach Blossom Valley did not see it, so it was not easy to speculate.
And Cao Cao Xun You and others who really experienced Zhang Fei's strength, it was difficult to judge for a while, and after a period of silence, Xun You took the lead in saying, "Lord Xu Zhuang's divine skills are indeed outstanding, and I am sincerely impressed, but compared to the Lord of Peach Blossom Valley, I think it is still a step behind, but this is just my guess, after all, I have never seen him really show his martial arts, but it is that pressure, and there is only the share of being slaughtered."
"Well~~~ Although what Gongda said is a bit exaggerated, but it is not unreasonable, that day I faced the real pressure of the Peach Blossom Valley Lord, there is really a sense of powerlessness, maybe our skills are too low, if the owner does not believe it, you can go to find out in person, you must know that what I said is true" Cao Cao also echoed.
Xu Chu saw that the two of them said solemnly, and also frowned, the prestige of this Peach Blossom Valley has been spread for a hundred years, it seems that it is not without reason, his own mountain villa is only four or five years, although he also enjoyed prestige in the rivers and lakes in the early years, but compared to the Peach Blossom Valley inherited for a hundred years, it is still a step behind.
"Brother Meng De is so jealous of this person, it seems that this Peach Blossom Valley is indeed not to be underestimated, the younger brother has lived in the mountains for a long time, and it is indeed time to go out for a walk, but there are many affairs in the mountains, I can't get out easily~~~" Xu Chu hesitated and said.
Cao Cao saw that he still didn't move him, and he was a little frustrated in his heart, "If the owner of the village really can't get out, then I will come back in the future, this time there is a lot of disturbance, and I hope the owner of the village will forgive me."
"Hehe~~~~ Brother Meng De misunderstood, I'm not pushing, but there are still some things to deal with, the Peach Blossom Valley Lord can't leave for a while, since he is out of the mountain, I'm not afraid of not finding him to compete, so it's okay, I'll call two henchmen to follow the general first, and when the matter is implemented, I will lead the crowd down the mountain to meet each other, General Cao doesn't know if this is good?" Xu Chu smiled and explained.
Cao Cao heard that his name for himself had changed, and he knew that this person should be regarded as serving himself, such a master could not force each other, and Cao Cao understood the truth of receiving it when he saw it, and immediately laughed and got up and said, "Lord Xu Zhuang is really a happy person, since this is the case, I will wait for good news at the bottom of the mountain."
"That's the best, come, I'll introduce these two people to the general" With a wave of his hand, two young and handsome men stepped forward, and Cao Cao saw that one of them was the capable man in front of the mountain.
Xu Chu pointed to this person and said, "This person is trained by me since I was a child, named Ren Jun, the word Boda, young and promising, and his skills have been small, but his experience is still shallow, and I would like to ask the general for more guidance in the future."
"Oh~~~~ We have already met, if it is really a man, there will be something to do in the future" Cao Cao was full of joy, this person was favored by him early in the morning, Xu Chu could not go down the mountain first, and it was worth the trip to have this person follow.
"I've seen the general, but there are only some grass people under it, I can be appreciated by the general, I am flattered, and I will not give up before and after the saddle in the future" Ren Jun hugged his fists and responded.
Xu Chu smiled and waved his hand, and then pointed to another person who was dressed as a half-general and half-Confucian and said, "This person's name is Zaoyi, he is my fellow villager, I have always regarded him as a sibling, today I will first ask him to go to the general's side to make a front station, my brother is talented, the general is not clear, but it doesn't hurt to ask."
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but look at it secretly, only to see that this person was not polite, but nodded slightly, which was considered a salute, and there was a sense of arrogance between his eyebrows, but this person's eyes were surprised, thick eyebrows, wide mouth and square nose, and a vision, Cao Cao was shocked when he saw it, and just nodded again and again.
But Xun You, who was on the side, secretly observed this person carefully, although the person looked strange, but his eyes were full of light, which showed that his skills were superb, and he was by no means comparable to that Ren Jun, his eyes were flat but not slanted, and there must be something in his heart, "This person should not be underestimated" Xun You secretly muttered.
At this time, Xu Chu had already introduced the two, Cao Cao saw that it was not early, and it was time to say goodbye, everyone came to the door to say goodbye, in Xu Chu's eyes, Cao Cao and everyone were led down the mountain by Ren Jun and ran towards Chen Liu.
In the hall, the lights were dim, and there were two more figures behind Xu Chu, looking at Cao Cao's distant back, and said in a deep voice, "Does the owner think this person can become a big deal?" ”。
"Well~~~~ As Mr. said, there is indeed an emperor, but is it a little worthless for Mr. to sacrifice your distant relatives like this?" Xu Chu nodded and commented, then turned around and asked.
The two figures slowly walked out of the darkness, looking like they were all dressed as Confucian scholars, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that both of them are true people, and they are definitely not very human.
"Hehehe~~~ My cousin is so ignorant of practice, he actually tied up the rebellious Yuan family to rebel, and the skill of managing You'an was also lost, and he became corrupt, how can I swallow this breath, don't talk about them, it's the Yuan family, I will eradicate him sooner or later."
"Mr. is really a righteous man, righteousness destroys relatives, Xu is impressed, if it weren't for Mr. being so righteous, how could my chivalrous villa serve his Cao family so easily, but this Cao Cao is indeed a generation of heroes, and I am also a little yearning" Xu Chu couldn't help but look back into the distance.
"Alas~~ Things in the world are unpredictable, no one can say what will evolve in the future, you can only take one step at a time, but I am sure that the owner of the village will definitely not be disappointed when he goes out of the mountain this time."
The three of them came to the front door of the hall, looked at the direction of Cao Cao's departure, and imagined the trend of the world in their hearts.
Just when Cao Cao and the others had just returned to Chenliu, a piece of news shocked everyone's thoughts, the city lord's mansion was brightly lit, and all the people who were doing it looked nervous.
Cao Cao stepped in, looked at everyone, and said nervously, "General Lu, is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry really here?" ”。
Lu Zhi's face was gloomy, for this news, he was the most shocked, and the threat was also the heaviest, nodded heavily, stretched out his hand, and Liu Bei on the side understood and stood up.
"According to the report of the spies, Yang Feng and others who fled to Sizhou met Dong Zhuo's troops who were coming from Xiliang, this Xiliang assassination history is also very good, 20,000 iron cavalry broke the Yellow Turban 100,000 thieves, killed them lost their armor and abandoned their armor, they could not form an army, and less than 20% of them survived in the dead, if Han Xian didn't see the opportunity early, he took 50,000 horses to bypass the main force of the Xiliang army, and the whole army might be wiped out" Liu Bei told Lu Zhi in detail about the report of the spies.
Cao Cao and the others were shocked when they heard this, 20,000 people broke 100,000 people, to say that this kind of record, maybe everyone sitting there can beat it, but in such a short time to break the thief soldiers, this kind of ability can not but be taken seriously, since Yang Feng fled to the present, but five or six days, counting the time they hid and explored the horse in Sizhou to return, the battle with Dong Zhuo should not exceed two days, and in just two days, the 100,000 army was broken~~~~~~~ the terrible Xiliang Iron Cavalry can be imagined.
"Where is this battle fought?" Cao Cao asked nervously.
"Hongnong Luanchuan area, that area of mountains and forests, originally not suitable for cavalry fighting, who knows~~ I don't know why the Yellow Turban Army suddenly rushed out, fought with it on the flat ground, and was attacked by Dong Zhuo's two teams of strange soldiers, it is said that the formation was torn apart at that time, only this battle, the deputy general of the Yellow Turban Army suffered countless casualties, even Yang Feng was also Hu Cai, Li Le sacrificed his life to break through, otherwise I am afraid that he would die in the chaos of the army, Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it is indeed terrible~~" Liu Bei pointed to the sand table on the table, At this time, the topography of the area was being drawn.
Cao Cao stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that there were mountains and mountains all around, and only a flat land in the center, and it was here that the two armies fought.
Everyone was puzzled: "Why did the Yellow Turban Army rush down from the mountain?" Hiding in the mountains, even if Dong Zhuo has ten times as many cavalry, he can't help it."
Cao Cao glanced at Xun You, only to see that he was also frowning at this time, staring at the sand table without blinking, with a look of incomprehension.
Lu Zhi saw that everyone couldn't say the layout of this battle, so he had to say slowly, "Everyone, it's a good thing for this Xiliang army to break the Yellow Turban thief, we don't need to be so alarmed, but its heart is unknown, as far as I know, this time the court has a decree, except for our three lieutenant generals, only Cao Qidu Lieutenant was ordered to go out, and the other states and counties are all staying at their own posts and suppressing thieves on the spot, why did this Dong Zhuo send troops across the ground without authorization, do you know the inside story?" ”。
Everyone looked at each other, how could they know about this matter, even if the emperor ordered a decree, as a minister, he had no right to ask more.
Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "General Lu, in the opinion of the lower officials, it doesn't matter why he Dong Zhuo sent troops now, I expect that his Xiliang Iron Cavalry is rampant, and he doesn't dare to violate the holy decree, what matters is what his purpose is, is he coming to us or somewhere else?" I think we need to step up the investigation first."
"Well~~~ Meng De is right, send a few more ways to explore the horse, you must give me every movement of Dong Zhuo to find out clearly, Xiliang borders on the outer regions, and has always had other intentions against the Han, so I have to guard against it" Lu Zhi nodded, and immediately assigned a five-way horse to go out to investigate, Lu Zhi was cautious about this person.
