I walked upstream along the Huaishui River for two days.

Cao Shuo and others entered the territory of Xincai.

Xincai belongs to Yuzhou, and it is already the territory of the Cao family.

Since the Zhang Jiao brothers set off the Yellow Turban Rebellion, bandits have been endless everywhere.

Not only are there many bandits in Hebei controlled by the Yuan family, but there are also many bandits in the places under the control of the Cao family.

Cao Shuo and the others were walking forward, and they saw a group of villagers driving cattle from a distance and coming towards them.

The two sides are getting closer.

Cao Shuo found that the man who walked in front was very stout.

led a cow, and the man actually blocked the cow tightly.

Seeing that he was about to get in front of those people, Cao Shuo heard a sound of footsteps behind him.

"Surround them!" A voice drifted into Cao Shuo's ears, followed by dozens of strong men with weapons in their hands chasing them from behind, surrounding them and the villagers in the middle.

From the outfits of these people surrounding them, Cao Shuo could see that they should all be bandits.

"We came to stop the cattle, but we didn't expect to catch more than a dozen horses." A man with a scarred face stepped forward, looked at Cao Shuo's yin and yang and said strangely: "If you don't want to die, leave the horse behind, and get out!" ”

Before Cao Shuo could speak, the man holding the cow opened his mouth: "We had already given the cow to you, but you couldn't watch it, and let them run back." The things you picked up on the road shouldn't be yours, so it's not your fault that we brought them back. ”

"Xu Zhongkang!" The bandit leader glared at him and said viciously, "Don't think that if you fight a few times, we will be afraid of you." Acquaintances leave the cow today, otherwise don't blame us for being polite! ”

When the leader of the bandits called out the name of the strong man, Cao Shuo was suddenly happy in his heart.

He has always wondered why Xu Chu was not by Cao Cao's side, and after Dian Wei's death, Cao Chun temporarily guarded him.

It turned out that Xu Chu had not yet taken refuge in the Cao family, and was holding cattle with the villagers in the township!

"What can you do?" Xu Chu handed the cow to the villagers on the side, and beckoned to the head of the bandit: "Come here, let's have a good chat!" ”

Xu Chu's physique is very stout, but he puts on a rogue posture, which makes Cao Shuo feel funny when he sees it.

The bandit leader knew that he was powerful, so he would not step forward.

Lifting the blade and pointing at Xu Chu, he shouted: "Xu Zhongkang, don't be so arrogant......"

"So what? Can you bite me? Xu Chu took off his clothes, tied them around his waist, and walked towards the head of the bandit with his arms dangling.

A group of bandits were frightened by Xu Chu and retreated.

Xu Chu's actions and the bandits' reactions made Cao Shuo even more amused.

He grinned the most, and actually laughed.

didn't dare to argue with Xu Chu, but the head of the bandit was not afraid of Cao Shuo.

He glared at Cao Shuo and shouted, "Where did you come from? Dare to laugh at Lao Tzu! ”

"Presumptuous!" Chen Wu drew his sword and shouted, glaring at the head of the bandit angrily: "Dare to be rude to the son, look for death!" ”

Just watching the bandits provoke Cao Shuo and others, a villager didn't pull the cow rope tightly, and the cow he was holding broke free and lowered his head and hit Cao Shuo.

The Yellow River Basin is different from the Yangtze-Huai River Basin.

The people of Jianghuai cultivated the fields, mostly using buffaloes.

However, the Yellow River Basin is dominated by cattle breeding.

Xincai belongs to Yuzhou, which is already part of the Yellow River Basin, so most of the people use to cultivate land are cattle.

Scalpers and buffaloes are different.

They don't have the same horns as buffaloes, but their horns are sharper than those of buffaloes.

The scalper suddenly rushed up, and even if he didn't hit Cao Shuo, the horses under his crotch couldn't withstand the impact.

Seeing the scalpers rushing to him, Cao Shuo couldn't dodge.

He was about to hold down the saddle and jump down, only to see Xu Chu stride forward and pull the tail of the ox.

The scalper in the forward rush had a thousand strengths, but was dragged by Xu Chu.

The tail hurt, the scalper "mooed", turned around and wanted to hit Xu Chu.

Xu Chu stepped forward, grabbed one of the front legs of the ox, and burst into a loud shout, and knocked the cow down......

was knocked down by Xu Chu, and the scalper also stopped, and the two villagers hurriedly stepped forward to control it.

The crazy scalpers were all dragged by Xu Chu, how much strength did it have to be!

Although I knew that Xu Chu was powerful, I didn't expect it to be so powerful.

When the head of the bandit saw this, the frightened ghost screamed for a lifetime, turned around and ran.

The leader ran away, and the other thieves didn't care about asking for cattle and horses, and they also ran away with a smoke.

Xu Chu glanced at Cao Shuo, turned his head and was about to leave.

Cao Shuo hurriedly shouted: "The strong man stays!" ”

"You called me?" Xu Chu turned around and asked.

"May I ask the strong man, is it Xu Zhongkang?" Obviously hearing the bandit leader call Xu Chu's name, Cao Shuo still asked.

"That's me." Xu Chu asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I am the second son of the Cao family, Cao Shuo!" Cao Shuo arched his hand and said: "I have heard of the name of a strong man for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to meet, but I didn't expect to meet here!" ”

Cao Shuo reported to his home, and Xu Chu was stunned: "Which Cao family?" ”

"Xu Du Cao's family." Cao Shuo replied with a slight smile.

"It turned out to be the son of the Cao family!" Knowing that he was the son of Xu Ducao's family, Xu Chu hurriedly returned the salute: "It's me who was rude." ”

"Brother Zhongkang, what are you doing?" Cao Shuo asked, "Why did you lead so many cows?" ”

"Childe doesn't know, now the thieves are making trouble everywhere, a few days ago they attacked Runan, and I led people to resist." Xu Chu said: "It's a pity that the food is not enough, so I exchanged the cattle for food with them." After getting the grain, I asked people to defend Runan, and I brought some people over to steal cattle. No, they were all stolen back. ”

"Did the Runan thieves retreat?" Cao Shuo asked.

"If there is food in the city, what is a thief?" Xu Chu said: "I have already retreated, just now these were just chasing to find trouble." ”

"I'm still thinking, if the Runan thieves don't retreat, send someone back to Xudu to ask for help." Cao Shuo said: "It seems that there is no need. ”

"With me Xu Chu here, what is a mere thief!" Xu Chu patted his chest and said.

"When Brother Zhongkang pulled the oxtail just now, I was shocked into a cold sweat." Cao Shuo said: "It's a trivial matter if the cow hits me or not, in case the injured brother ......."

"Childe don't worry." Cao Shuo's words were full of concern, Xu Chu was suddenly a little moved, he waved his hand and said: "What is a mere cow, even if there is a tiger, I will pinch it to death by the neck." ”

"Brother has such a ability, why don't you find a place to go and make a career?" Cao Shuo asked.

"From a humble background, where can I go?" Xu Chu shook his head and sighed.

"I happen to be going to Jingzhou to run errands, I wonder if my brother is willing to do it?"

"What is Childe doing in Jingzhou?" Xu Chu asked.

"If someone wants to kill me, I'm going to kill him first." Cao Shuo said: "Otherwise, how will you live in the future?" ”

"I just like Childe's temperament!" Cao Shuo's words made Xu Chu happy: "I'll go with my son!" Even if he unscrewed Liu Biao's head, he went this time! ”

"With Brother Zhongkang by my side, I want to simply bring Jingzhou down!" Cao Shuo laughed.

"it, knock it down!" Xu Chu also laughed.
