Chapter 177: Jiangdong Tiger
Seeing off Liu Bei and the others, Xu Chu, who was strolling under the starlight, burped contentedly.
"Tell me what I'm going to do with these four people."
When Xu Chu asked, one hand was gently pressing on the railing, and if he wanted to, he could break the wooden railing with a slight forceβthis was a power given to Xu Chu by God, and it seemed that it had not been fully unearthed. A famous tiger general in history, he was alive and alive, and he gradually went in the opposite direction.
No matter what era, knowledge and power are indispensable weapons, and from the perspective of a later generation, Xu Chu believes that the former has a greater role.
But seeing Liu Guanzhang today, he reminded him of the scene of Luo Guanzhong's 'Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu', and he couldn't help but feel that he was really ruining heaven and wasting such a martial art.
Guo Jia, Xi Zhong, and Yao Sheng, who followed behind Xu Chu, didn't know how much emotion Xu Chu had, and Guo Jia replied to Xu Chu's question: "Since Liu Bei and others have come to join the army, even if the lord is acting for the world to see, he can't let them go back empty-handed. β
"The key is what position to give them." Xu Chu frowned and said, "Liu Bei Zhuojun heroes, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all brave and strong men, if they give it low, people may not appreciate it, and if they give it high, they are afraid that the lieutenant generals and colonels will complain." β
There is another layer that Xu Chu did not say clearly, Liu Bei is a hero who is determined to help the world, and now it is clear that he is here to fight Dong Zhuo and earn fame, and gave him soldiers and horses to make meritorious contributions, this is not what the legacy of raising tigers is.
"Heroes?" Xi Zhong sneered, "With all due respect, the lord is too high to hold Liu Bei high." β
Yao Sheng nodded, and then said: "Indeed, I see that Liu Bei is about thirty years old, he has achieved nothing, he has done nothing, and he is not a hero. On the contrary, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as the lord said, are quite rare warriors. β
Yao Sheng and Xi Zhong's words are not unreasonable, since the end of the Han Dynasty, Xu Chu has seen the world's heroes, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, Xun You, Bao Xin, and even He Qi in Yangzhou, Zhu Huan and others, which one did not come out of Shizhou County at a young age, or won a good reputation. If he said this, Liu Bei was despised, and it was not completely without reason.
Xu Chu thought for a while, and said thoughtfully: "Why don't you ...... Give Liu Bei a position as a military marquis, let the scribe Jian Yong, who came with Liu Bei, make a note, and then let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei go to other ministries for military positions? β
Guo Jia, Xi Zhong, and Yao Sheng looked at each other, and Guo Jia said: "It's better like this, General Sun hasn't arrived in Liang County yet, and after General Sun arrives, it will take a while to send troops north." During this time, Liu Bei was allowed to recruit troops locally, depending on how many soldiers he recruited. As for Ruoguan and Zhang, as the lord said, they can go to any military position in each department. In this way, it also seems that the lord is eager to seek talent. β
Xu Chu almost laughed out loud, the dignified 'Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty' was actually said by Guo Jia to be a tool used to show his 'thirst for talent'...... However, Guo Jia's suggestion is very much in line with Xu Chu's heart: first, in a few days, Liu Bei can't recruit many soldiers, but this method is to let him do it by himself, so that people can't find faults; The two Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could never let them stay by Liu Bei's side to do things, both of them were '10,000 enemies', and it was 100% of the matter to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and get military merit, it was just a matter of how much merit there was, under Liu Bei's account, their merit would be counted as Liu Bei's, and if they were transferred to the troops of such as Lejin and Gan Ning or Xu Chu's Chinese army, there was no such concern.
"Yao Jun is the captain of Zhaoxin, so please go and talk to Liu Bei and the others. It's not early, so let's go to sleep. β
......
That night, Yao Sheng went to Liu Bei's house and explained his intentions. After he left, Guan Yu stood up and said to Liu Bei: "Brother, I can't wait to stay here!" β
Liu Bei was yelled at by Guan Yu and his scalp was numb, and he sighed: "Why did Yun Chang say this? β
Zhang Fei grinned and said, "The second brother is arrogant, and he is unwilling to do things under people other than the eldest brother. β
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and was speechless, he knew that what Zhang Fei said was very true, Guan Yu was good anywhere, but this temper was as hard as a stone in a pit, and if he recognized the truth, eight horses couldn't pull it back.
Jane Yongneng.
Jian Yong shook his broken fan and said with a smile: "It's a pity, it's a pity." β
Liu Bei asked, "What is Xianhe's sorry for?" β
"It's a pity that the four of us were clothed in rain and traveled thousands of miles to go to the national disaster, but we couldn't even see Yuan Shao's face in Hanoi; After tossing and turning, I heard that Xu Chu was in Yingchuan halfway, and I came over non-stop, and I finally had a chance to stretch my ambitions...... Hey, don't talk about it. β
Liu Bei sighed silently.
Guan Yu heard it in his ears, his face was ashamed, and he suddenly pushed the door and was about to come out, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong exclaimed at the same time: "What is Yun Chang (second brother) going to do?" β
Guan Yu said: "I went to reply to Captain Yao, and said that I was willing to obey General Xu's orders." β
Jian Yong's face was pale, and after secretly glancing at Liu Bei, he stepped forward and grabbed Guan Yu's sleeve, "Yun Chang, Yun Chang, do you still want to do such a trivial matter?" Let Jane go. β
......
In Yin, Henan Province at the beginning of March, on the dry and windy, cold wind swept the mud and sand, a team of more than 20,000 people drove over.
Sun Jian arrived.
When Xu Chu and Cao Cao heard the news, they had already gone out of Liang County to greet each other.
After seeing Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others, Xu Chu thought that he should be heartbroken when he saw Sun Jian, but he didn't expect that he was still shocked by Sun Jian's sharp eyes.
Sun Jian, whose head was wrapped in red hair, his horse was in silver armor, and the corners of his mouth were raised thirty degrees, and he glanced at Xu Chu and others. This glance reminded Xu Chu, who was twenty meters away, of the expression of Secretary Da Kang in a parallel world, indifferent, gloomy, and murderous.
This look was fleeting, and Sun Jian turned to laugh and said: "I have heard the names of General Xu and General Cao for a long time, and when we meet today, we should be a big white!" Then he drove his horse and walked alone.
Xu Chu and Cao Cao looked at each other and smiled, gently clamped the horse's belly, and walked between the two armies.
"Wucheng Houguo is a 'Jiangdong Tiger', and his appearance is good. Cao and General Xu have prepared a banquet, just waiting for Sun Hou to come and drink hard, and rest as soon as they get drunk! Cao Cao said politely.
Sun Jian looked at Xu and Cao, and said in his heart: The Kanto group of heroes rose together, only Xu Chu and Cao Cao forged ahead, Cao Cao didn't say, this Xu Chu was really as brave as he imagined, but he didn't know that under Sun's knife, this son could block a few times.
Sun Jian thinks so, half because he is the same as Guan Yu, he is a proud person, and the other half is because he is extremely confident in his own martial arts.
The three battles of the Yellow Turban, the Liangzhou, and the Pingchangsha made Sun Jian sit from a Lang official to the current party Taishou and beg for the general. The ancestral treasure knife in his hand, the 'ancient ingot knife', has hundreds of souls under the knife, not a thousand, so he doesn't believe that a 'hairy boy' can live under his knife.
Xu Chu, Cao Cao, Sun Jian are three heroes, Cao Cao and Sun Jian are the same age, they are all over thirty years old, Xu Chu is nearly a round younger than them, and he can indeed be called a hairy boy.
Sun Jian listened to Cao Cao's words and laughed: "General Cao, don't joke, how can I wait for the wine to be high, state affairs are important, state affairs are important." β
Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart, could it be that this Sun Jian actually wanted to discuss the battle plan here, and then directly led the army north?
