Chapter 250: Xu Chu
Yuzhou, Peiguo, Qiaoxian.
Huang Wanchu served as the Taishou of Yingchuan, adhering to Liu Fan's will to govern the dilapidated Yingchuan County. He was not afraid of power, and he governed the government to the satisfaction of the people. He recruited the Yingchuan clan, the Xun family, the Chen family and other Qingliu families into the office, so that the Yingchuan family supported.
For a time, there were no thieves in Yingchuan, and the people gradually settled down.
Not long ago, Liu Fan promoted Huang Wan as a thief general and led the assassin envoy in Yuzhou. Responsible for quelling the rampant thieves in Yuzhou.
In the territory of Yuzhou, there are many thieves in the mountains and forests of Lu, Liang, Pei, and Chen, and there are even yellow turbans that have revived from time to time.
Huang Wan has been exhausted for several months, and thieves and yellow turbans from all over the country have been attacking him endlessly.
He realized that temporary filling of the leakage was not the solution to the root cause, so he discussed with the two brothers, Zhao Wen of Yingchuan and Zhao Qian of Runan, on a way to pacify Yuzhou.
At this time, a fierce battle was being staged in front of a stockade in the north of Gepi Lake in Peiguo County.
On one side is a nearby thief who calls himself the Yellow Turban Rebels. Because he often went out to plunder the surroundings of Gepo Lake, he was called "Gepi thief" by the people.
On one side are the common people, who are not displaced people, but people with military organizations. Conducted by a young man named Xu Chu.
Although Xu Chu is just over twenty, he is extremely powerful. Seeing the thieves from all directions, he gathered thousands of strong men and clans to build a stockade to defend against the invasion of thieves.
Within a few months, the Ge Pi thieves attacked the village where the Xu Chu clan was located many times, but they were unable to conquer it.
Today, more than 10,000 people besieged the Xu Chu clan's stockade, wanting to loot the stockade.
The thieves harassed the people for several days, so that the people could not engage in farming, and the food in the village had run out. The Xu Chu clan is already in a desperate situation.
"Zhongkang, why don't you surrender to the Gepi thief! Anyway, there is no food in the village. An old man was disheartened and said to Xu Chu helplessly.
"Although there is no food in the clan, there are still more than 100 ploughing oxen, if they are allowed to rob them, it will be difficult for us to live!" Xu Chu said unwillingly.
They have thousands of households, and there are only about 100 ploughing cattle of all sizes. In this era of slash-and-burn farming, without oxen ploughing, there would not be much food in the land.
Xu Chu is eight feet long, with a large waist and ten girths, and a majestic appearance. At first glance, he is a warrior with amazing strength.
"Zhongkang, we have run out of arrows, and the villagers are exhausted, what should we do?" A young man ran over and said to Xu Chu.
"Go and look for stones, throw them at the enemy." Xu Chu immediately ordered.
Seeing that the people in the village had no arrows, the leader of the thieves immediately led the robbers to rush to the gate of the village.
When the Ge Pi thief rushed closer, Xu Chu picked up the flying stone and hit it with the flying stone.
Every time someone approached the walled gate, they were knocked down by Xu Chu.
The thief was afraid of Xu Chu's skills and never dared to step forward again.
"If you don't fight, you will be humiliated."
A loud shout rang out, and I saw a burly young man galloping on horseback.
When a thief tried to stop him, the young man took out his halberd from the side of the horse and threw it at him.
Thrown more than a dozen times in a row, more than a dozen people in the company, no one dared to approach.
This person is none other than Dian Wei.
I am in the north of Qiaoxian County, more than 100 miles away, why does Dian Wei appear here?
Dian Wei is strong and fierce, and has many friends. Friends in Juan County invited him to drink and congratulate him on his son. The son is nearly a year old, and his wife has been well raised.
Dian Wei went to Juan County to find a friend to drink, and bid farewell to his friend, he planned to return to Jiwu this time, so he took his wife to Yanmen County to join Liu Fan.
I happened to pass by Gepi Lake and encountered a scene of robbers bullying the people. Dian Wei is chivalrous, and in the face of this kind of bullying, he naturally can't bear it.
"The thief general will come to pacify Liang and Pei soon, and you will not disband the team and return to the good people."
Dian Wei soon rushed to the front of the stockade, and he shouted a loud threat to the Gepi thief.
The Gepi thieves are too powerful to be defeated. His halberd frightened many people, but it was not enough to terrify the robbers.
"Thou shalt be a fool? If Huang Wan comes, we will hide in the mountains and forests. What can he do? The leader of the Slope thieves said indifferently.
"Thank you for your help." Xu Chu said to Dian Wei, and then begged for peace with the leader of the Gepi thieves: "We don't want to fight again, if you fight again, our people, men, women, and children will rush out together, even if you win, you will suffer heavy casualties." Do you want to see the end of both sides? ”
"I have killed and injured so many brothers, how can I just forget it?" The leader of the Gepi thieves was unwilling.
"Our people have also suffered many casualties." A young man on the stockade glared angrily at the thief and said unconvinced.
He is Xu Chu's elder brother, Xu Ding. Although his courage is not as good as Xu Chu, he can also cut the flag and pull out the flag.
"I will give you fifty head of ploughing cattle in exchange for a thousand stone of grain, and I shall compensate you and others." Xu Chu gritted his teeth and said to the leader of the Gepi thieves.
He knew that if he didn't give the Ge Pi thief some benefits, the Ge Pi thief would definitely not give up.
Fifty strong cattle in exchange for a thousand stone of grain, the Ge Pi thief made a lot of money.
But Xu Chu had to do this, the whole village had no food, and if he continued like this, he would definitely starve to death.
The leader of the Ge Pi thieves hesitated, although it was a good deal, he was still a little unwilling.
glanced at the mighty and resolute Xu Chu, and then at the fierce and vicious Dian Wei, both of them have unique skills, and they are not easy to mess with.
"Good! Thou shalt wait to fetch the oxen, and our army happens to be carrying food. "After the expediency, the leader of the Gepi thieves intends to occupy the immediate interests first, and the rest will be planned later.
Two quarters of an hour later, the Xu Chu clan led fifty ploughing cattle out of the village, and everyone's face was full of reluctance.
Ploughing cattle is the life of the people, and some have been getting along day and night for more than ten years, and ploughing cattle fall into the hands of Gepo thieves, and there will definitely be no good results.
Forced to be helpless, even if you are reluctant, you can't.
"Quickly take out the food, otherwise don't blame me for not recognizing people with these iron halberds." Dian Wei got off his horse, took out the Wild Song Halberd, took a few steps forward, and shouted to the thief.
The leader of the Gepi thieves retreated again and again, and his heart was terrified. Hurriedly said, "Quickly bring up the grain."
After a while, a thousand stone of grain was carried up, and Xu Chu's people carried the grain back to the village with tears in their eyes.
After the cooperation between the two sides was completed, Ge Po thief happily led the cow away. Because you can eat beef today.
"Moo......"
Suddenly, a big scalper let out a long cry and flew the Gepo thief who was leading it.
It turned around and immediately ran back.
Ge Po thieves flew chickens and dogs jumped, and in the face of the rampaging scalper, they didn't dare to stop at all.
The scalper wanted to rush back to the village, but Xu Chu grabbed the tail of the ox, and the scalper couldn't run no matter how he ran.
Xu Chu didn't want to break his promise, pulled the oxtail with both arms, and pulled more than 100 steps stiffly, pulling the ox to the front of the Ge Pi army.
The people present, except for Dian Wei, did not change color. The thief was even more frightened, afraid of Xu Chu, and did not dare to come to the cow again.
"Gongshen people, we have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, and fifty cows are returned."
The leader of the Ge Pi thieves said in a panic. So he left the ploughing oxen in their place and scattered them with their subordinates.
