Many people present thought the same as He Zhen, the enemy was outnumbered, and it was unreasonable to abandon the city and seek a field battle. Only thought for a moment, and commented: "The thieves in the west of the county are not as good as the nine **, without the leadership of brave warriors such as Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and the thieves are not as elite as the nine **." If this is the case, the military Sima Lejun and the Qu military marquis Li Juncai thought that it was the best policy to resist it with a dignified array. ”

Xu Chu nodded secretly, the thieves who invaded Anhui County were different from Jiu**, they could be instigated to launch a rebellion, one was that someone promised to take advantage, and the other was that winter was coming, and they had to come out to loot. That is to say, the quality of this group of thieves is not composed of county light heroes like Jiu**, but most of them are gathered by homeless people who can't eat enough, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Xu Shu, who already knew the ins and outs, raised his eyes and glanced at the lead, and said in his heart: This lead-in-one is slightly the same as what Le Jin and Li Chengzhi saw.

He Zhen and the others nodded slightly, but listened to Xu Chu continue to read: "The thief army is divided into two divisions to fight separately, each of which is about eight hundred, and our army's infantry formation is completed, and one of them suddenly attacked, and rushed to kill under the leadership of several thief generals. In the view of the Chinese army, the general of the thief army can also be called brave, the first soldier, the slightest arrow and not retreat, the morale of his subordinates is raised, shouting and shouting, like a madman. ”

Xin Bi was a little surprised: "The thieves in this county are all those who dare to fight and die? The people of Yangzhou are really fierce. ”

He Zhen nodded, shook his head again, and said: "The hungry thief, the winter is unsustainable, and for the sake of his family's life, he has to fight bravely. Under the command of Sima Lejun, who heard the army, he was the first to die in the palace, all of whom were brave and light heroes in Yingchuan and Chenliu, and the thief army did not know where to go, this rash advance must be woken up by Le Jun with a blow to the head! ”

How Zhen said, in the next military report, Le Jin wrote: "The thieves hit my foot formation, rushed to kill twice in succession, my foot formation was unmoved, Tun Chang Li Ping, led Zhang Shi to shoot its tail, Jin knew that this was a good time to wait, and led a hundred people to rush to its right, trap its people, behead its generals, and the thieves fled." ”

Everyone who didn't know or was not very familiar with Lejin was secretly frightened. You must know that Xu Chu allocated to the ten generals under his command Gan Ning, Wang Yan, Gong Su, Le Jin, Dian Wei, Li Quan, Li Tong, Chen Gong, Zifan, and Zhou Yu, each of which was 400 people, and Le Jin resisted the 800 thief army that rushed to kill with 400 people, not only blocked it without pressure, but also killed the thief general in turn, allowing the thief army to escape, which had to make people look sideways.

Everyone and even Xin Bi, who knew more about the strength of Xu Chu's army, couldn't help but reassess the combat effectiveness of Xu Chu's subordinates and the ability of the generals under his command.

Lejin's side won a big victory without much effort, and Li Quan's side was not far behind.

Xu Chu continued to read: "Li Xiaocheng led his troops to make a detour, and when he saw the thieves chasing and killing, he blocked his edge with his infantry army, and hid in the forest with his cavalry. ”

He interrupted: "There are cavalry troops under the command of the prince? ”

Xu Shu glanced at Xu Chu's helpless face, and said with a wry smile: "Qu Junhou Li Cheng is a person from Shanyang Juye, and the name of Mu Junhou led the crowd to vote, and there were more than ten knights among them. The prince was grateful for his bravery, and transferred all the knights in his headquarters to Li's entire subordinates, forming a total of one team. ”

He nodded, looking like he knew very well. The so-called five-tithe, a team of cavalry is fifty people. It was impossible for Xu Chu to form a cavalry army of hundreds, and his horses were mostly used to distribute to scouts, messengers, etc., as a way to probe the enemy and contact the Quartet. All the horses saved were given to Li Quan, firstly, because Li Chuan returned to his hometown and then voted, and he came on horseback with more than a dozen hometown athletes, and secondly, because the generals under his command were not famous for leading and training cavalry at this time.

Speaking of the military report, Li Quan let the infantry block the attack of the thief army head-on, and he led a team of cavalry to go around the back, suddenly killed, and killed the thief army to a great defeat, and the generals of this part of the thief army died in the chaos of the army, and I don't know who killed them. The remnants of the thief army fled westward, and Le Jin and Li Quanben wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but unfortunately the terrain ahead was complicated and unpredictable, the roads were uneven, and the cavalry was difficult to pursue, so they had to give up.

Everyone also secretly said that it was a pity that the terrain on this side of the Lujiang River was not like Yingchuan, which had a large plain, which was very conducive to cavalry charging and killing, so when the thieves fled, Le Jin and Li Cheng did not dare to pursue rashly because they were not familiar with the terrain in front of them, so they gave up. If all these thieves are really killed, then the matter of 'preparing for the winter in the west of the county's place in the next few months will be much easier.

First Xu Chu himself, Dian Wei in Dongyang Ridge forced to retreat nine **, and now get Le Jin, Li Quaner will break the thief army outside Anhui County, except for Xu Shu, Dian Wei and a few other people, all present for Xu Chu's strength and heart shock. Regardless of whether they know the inside story or not, chaos broke out in many places in Lujiang County at the same time, but anyone with a little insight knows that someone is deliberately making things bad to deal with Xu Chu, the new Taishou. And this person's status is definitely not low, not to mention being able to cover the sky with one hand in Yangzhou, and the ability to turn over the rain and clouds must be there. According to the current situation, Xu Chu has left the county to govern Shu County, and the situation is very good, and the title of "Yuzhou Tiger" is indeed worthy of its name.

After the war in Anhui County was over, Xu Chu was also secretly very happy. Le Jin and Li Cheng became the generals under his command when they went to Luoyang, and in Luoyang, the two performed well, but after all, they were not seen by the generals who followed him early, not to mention the talents recruited after Lujiang. These two parts of the people, Xu Chu's employment must still be waiting and seeing, speculation, now Lejin and Li Quan have won a beautiful battle in Anhui County, and while Xu Chu's face has grown, it also indirectly shows that Xu Chu's vision is very accurate and the employment is very appropriate.

Troubled times are coming, and good birds choose trees to perch. I believe that whether it is the children of a big family like Xin Bi, Zhou Xin, and Zhou Yu, or the children of the Han clan like Zhaozhao, Shi Lu, and He Zhen, they all hope that the lord they follow is a master who can know people and be good at their duties. At least for now, Xu Chu's performance has not only satisfied them, but also exceeded expectations.

There is another one, Wang Yan, Gong Su and other people who were the first to serve, and they will also reduce the 'uneasy mood' of Xu Chu's reuse of newcomers.

Since Yangquan and Anhui County are in danger, Xu Chu should also go back to Shu County. There are Xizhong and Guo Jia at the helm of the county government, and Xiang'an County knows that there will be no big mess without asking, and the group went down the river to the east, to He Zhen's hometown of Li County, and then changed to take the land route and headed towards Shu County.

Looking at the mountains and rivers all the way, everyone's mood is very good, Xu Chu accompanied everyone to 'talk', and there is actually a place in his heart - Luoyang.

In the past half a month, Xu Chu sent people to Luoyang, Yingchuan and other places twice in a row, although he was concerned about the safety and whereabouts of Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, Bao Xin and other people who were also teachers and friends, but also wanted to know from them where the general trend of the world has come.

In the days from Qi County to Shu County, three echoes came one after another - Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Bao Xin.

Xun Yu's letter arrived first, and when Xu Chu received the letter, it was when he was boarding in a certain pavilion, and the candles were lit, and Xu Shu, Zhaozhao, Xin Bi, Shi Lu, He Zhen and others were all in the house. This is because Xu Chu, in order to better let Zhao and others return to their hearts, every day when they have nothing to do, they always take these four people with him to talk, and sometimes they sleep with one of them until dawn. So when the letter arrived, everyone happened to be talking about the situation in Luoyang together.

Xun Yu's letter said two things, one about himself and the Xun clan. It turned out that after Dong Zhuo abolished the Son of Heaven, Xun Yu abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, and many days had passed by the time he wrote the letter, and the Xun family who were in Beijing at that time had Xun Shuang and Xun You, but they did not return to their hometowns. Xun Shuang did not return to his hometown because Dong Zhuo did not let him return, and Xun You did not return to his hometown because he wanted to stay in Luoyang Chaozhong. Because he felt that Yingchuan would become the place of the four wars, Xun Yu persuaded the family to leave Yingchuan, but Xun Shuang and Xun Yu were not there, and most of the people in the clan did not follow Xun Yu's advice.

Why did he go back to Bohai County, which is the second thing Xun Yu said: under the advice of Wu Qiong, Zhou Yu, He Hao and others, Dong Zhuo first made Yuan Shao the Bohai Taishou in order to eliminate the estrangement between him and the scholars as soon as possible.
