He Zhen thought: Among the two thousand stone guards in the world, I am afraid that only Wucheng Hou's martial arts can be equal to Xu Hou. The trick is the heart: Xu Hou's bravery, I don't know which is better or worse with General Fenwu.

The title of General Fenwu was obtained by Cao Cao in history, but it was privately sealed by Yuan Shao. The general Fenwu canonized by the imperial court was the land of Yang Weiyou and Liao, and was named Gongsun Zhan of the Marquis of Ji.

can make He Zhen and Zhao compare themselves with famous martial artists like Sun Jian and Gongsun Zhan, Xu Chu is satisfied.

The rain began to fall in earnest. Everyone escorted the thief back to the county house, and was very embarrassed by the sudden heavy rain. Yangquan Ling rushed to hear the news, and heard that Xu Chu was attacked by robbers, so he was so frightened that he fell directly to the ground, and said: "The Ming Mansion has encountered thieves in the county, and the subordinates are not effective in governance, so it is difficult to escape the blame, please punish the Ming Mansion." As soon as Yangquan ordered to ask for the guilt, of course, the other county officials went up and down, and hurriedly bowed down.

Now how many counties are there few strong thieves, it is not strange that there are thieves, but it is strange that Xu Chu has twenty soldiers here, and they still dare not retreat.

"You can't blame the Qing and others entirely, don't mention the punishment again." Xu Chu did not get angry with people's bad taste, and asked the county officials to get up and talk back.

Dian Wei carried the captured thief into the hall.

Xu Chu pointed at the thief and asked, "Can you know this thief?" ”

The thief knew that the offense was Lu Jiang Taishou at this time, and he was cowardly and did not dare to raise his head. Dian Wei used a halberd to block the thief's chin, and some of the county officials were immediately shocked: "It's him!" ”

It was the county lieutenant of Yangquan who spoke.

"Yuming Mansion, this thief is nine**! The subordinate had seen it in the fight with **, so the thief killed the officer's wife and brother, so remember it clearly. The county lieutenant of Yangquan gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

Although the nine ** is difficult to control, once he arrives in the Yangquan jurisdiction, as a county lieutenant, he has to take the county guards to drive away, and it is normal to have a battle.

Since it is Jiu**, it is under the command of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, so the force of these thieves is not so unexpected.

In the book "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", the twelve tiger ministers of Eastern Wu, also known as Jiangbiao Huchen, some of these twelve outstanding military generals of the time followed Sun Jian very early, some assisted Sun Ce at the beginning, and some were famous when Sun Quan was in power. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are two of them, and the prestige of the two is familiar to Xu Chu.

Because of this, Xu Chu felt that this matter was not simple. The more than ten ** I met today are likely to come to fight the outpost, and their purpose is worth paying attention to.

Xu Chu asked the county lieutenant of Yangquan County: "Is it usually at this time that the nine ** offenders in the county are also at this time?" ”

The county lieutenant shook his head and said: "Nowadays, the wind on the river is cold, even if you are from Jiangdong, you will not easily enter the river by boat, let alone offend the county." ”

When Xin Bi heard this, he saluted Xu Chu and said, "Fujun, even if this is the case, you can't treat it lightly. These thieves are well-trained and well-armed, and once they have left the lair, they will not return in vain. For the sake of today's importance, the county officials should be notified to take strict precautions. ”

Xu Chu said thoughtfully: "Just according to what George said." The officials of Yangquan listened to the order, and Zhu Qing and others immediately notified the officials and people in the county, paid close attention to the faces from the county, and if they encountered it, they would take it immediately. ”

Preparing for thieves has never been just a matter for government personnel, but also for the people in the county. The Yangquan County Commander and Lieutenant immediately braved the rain to notify the officials of the townships and pavilions, and notified the situation in place step by step.

The county has county lieutenants and county pawns, the township has you and township pawns, and the pavilion has thieves and pavilion pawns, after these people are mobilized, it will be difficult for Jiu** to kill Yangquan County by surprise.

He Zhen suddenly came out of the queue and suggested to Xu Chu: "The heavy rain is majestic, and the rivers are unstable. In the next nine ** at this time should stop somewhere, wait for the wind to stop and the waves calm. Fu Jun, dare to ask for your life, and take people to find out where the nine ** are hiding! ”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised. He Zhen is thin and weak, and it is a bit too much to say that he is powerless, but he is definitely not a strong martial artist. He stepped forward and was eager to make meritorious contributions, but he also had to admire his courage.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhao said unwillingly: "Zhao is also willing to find out the traces of the thieves for the prince." ”

Xu Chu was embarrassed. Zhao and He Zhen are both talents that can be vigorously cultivated, if they are ordinary bandits, just let them go, but Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are very fierce, and one accidentally broke the two, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury to Xu Chu, who is already short of people. But it doesn't seem right to send them.

It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, although he is a talent, he still needs to be honed and needs to grow. Especially the trick, he is determined to be a soldier, and the soldier is the most dangerous thing in the world, and if he doesn't practice it himself, I'm afraid he won't be able to get the essence. The other two are full of interest and high morale, and if this proposal is refuted, it will also be a blow to the enthusiasm of the two.

Faced with a dilemma, Xu Chu chose to take risks.

"Yuan Gan and Zijing have such courage, and the government is very relieved. The two of you will lead ten capable tiger guards to find out where Jiu** is located. But there is a word in advance, once you encounter an emergency, you should return quickly and not fall in love. ”

He Zhen and Zhao led the order loudly, "Zhen (Zhao) will not return to the hope of the king!" ”

Seeing the two leave, Xu Chu felt a little bored. At this time, the only person who could consult was Simbi.

"George, it's a coincidence that Jiu** intends to invade Yangquan at this time, will anyone instigate it behind his back?"

Xu Chu's boredom is the motivation of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who can't guess it. According to what the county lieutenant of Yangquan said, at this time, Jiu** will not enter the river to plunder, let alone invade a county. Taking a step back, even if Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were coming to Yangquan by themselves, what could they do? At this time, it is not the time of summer harvest and autumn harvest, and there is not much grain in the people's homes, and for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, the benefits of committing the county are obviously not proportional to the risks, not to mention that the Lujiang Taishou at this time is his Xu Chu, a martial artist with the name of 'knowing soldiers'.

Xin Bi's thoughts coincided with Xu Chu, and at the same time, he also thought of two possible behind-the-scenes promoters: Chen Wen, the assassin, and Zhou Xin, the Taishou of Danyang.

Obviously, Zhou Xin is more likely, whether it is in terms of personality or style of doing things, Xu Chu and Xin Bi both think that it will be Zhou Xin. And among the Yangzhou officials who dare to tease Xu Chu Hu's beard, both of them have both motivation and strength.

Xin Bi put forward his opinion, saw Xu Chu nodded slightly, and continued: "The problem is that if it is really Zhou Danyang's doing, it is very likely that something will happen in the west and east of the county in the near future. ”

Xu Chu's worries are here.

Zhou Xin's luck was very good, and when he used the plan, Xu Chu was inspecting the farmers in the county. It can also be said that Xu Chu has the temple calculations of Guo Jia, Xi Zhong and others, so he boldly insisted on going to the county when Zhou Xin was wise and might be in trouble, resulting in the current unfavorable situation.

Fortunately, with the layout, and fortunately, Guo Jia, Xi Zhong, and Xu Shu are all trustworthy people, and Xu Chu can still negotiate with Xin Bi calmly at this time.

——The two of them put on their robes and took ten tiger guards out of the county house.

The rain did not stop, and the vision under the curtain of beads in the sky was extremely blurred, but it also became a favorable factor for their group. He Zhen traveled to Lujiang County when he was young, and had a rough understanding of the topography of Yangquan, but he didn't dare to support it under this heavy rain, so he found a small official in the county to lead the way to find the traces of Jiu**.

Soon the night was getting thicker, He Zhen vigilantly probed around, and said to the county officials: "There are several ferries near Yangquan County. ”

The county magistrate replied, "There are two, one in the east of the county and one in the north of the county." ”

He Zhen nodded, "Take us to the north of the county first." ”

However, considering that the thieves were coming, the final foothold should be at the ferry where it was convenient to moor, and the wind and rain came suddenly, and they may have taken refuge near the ferry.

The trick is a northerner, and he doesn't know much about it, so he can only follow the crowd. After searching for most of the night, they did not find the whereabouts of the thieves. When he was depressed, he suddenly pointed to the riverbank in the distance and said, "He Jun, look there!" ”

He Zhen looked at it as he said, and it was vaguely seen that something was parked near the riverbank.

"Or maybe it's a thief, we can't rush in, hide in a dense place for the time being, and wait for the rain to subside a little." He Zhen said.

It's right to think about it, although it is difficult to land in this place, it is better that some of the thieves can climb up the low cliff on the river bank to let the wind out.

Everyone hid according to the words, and waited for the rain to subside, and when they could see whether it was a thief's boat in the river, they immediately rushed back to the county house to inform Xu Chu.

The rain came suddenly, and it went so suddenly.

Zhao Zhao, He Zhen and others hid a stick of incense, and the rain suddenly stopped. Coincidentally, not long after the rain stopped, the dark clouds near the riverbank quickly dispersed, revealing a little starlight.

He Zhen and Zhao looked at it fixedly, but they all opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them for a long time.
