Chapter 23: Powerlessness
Two thousand yellow scarves faced the 10,000 army under Zhao Yun, and the result could be imagined. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The whole battle from start to finish, it's just the time of a meal. Zhao Yun just rushed to the door of the dock fort from the outside, and the yellow turban had completely collapsed. Xia Houlan was responsible for leading the troops to carry out all the aftermath work, and as for Zhao Yun, he had already come on horseback, ready to have a good talk with this strong man. It can be regarded as a sympathy between martial artists, this person is so good, how can he not let Zhao Yun see the hunting heart. Second, although Zhao Yun is a military general, his cultural level is not low. In addition, he has been staying with Gao Ye and Guo Jia for a long time on weekdays, how can he not understand the importance of talents, especially talents in this kind of recklessness, to Cao Cao now. If he can recruit him for Cao Cao, the person in front of him is more important to Cao Cao than killing He Yi.
The strong man listened to Zhao Yun's words of praise for him, and also smiled and said: "The general defeated the Yellow Turban and saved the life of my whole village, Xu Chu thanked the general for his kindness here." ”
Zhao Yun saw that Xiahou Lan's command was also in good order, and the Yellow Turban was completely defeated again, and the battle had basically come to an end. At the moment, he was no longer worried, and then dismounted, and continued to praise: "Xu Zhuangshi's divine power can actually shake the bull, Zhao Yun also admires." ”
"Ahh Are you Changshan Zhao Yun? ”
Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this, why, is his reputation so loud now? He didn't want to think about it, he himself was in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, but he defeated Lu Bu, who single-handedly stopped the princes of the Nineteenth Road. In this way, it is difficult for him not to think of being famous. Although everyone knows that Zhao Yun was able to defeat Lu Bu, it was also because of a big battle with him before Gao Ye, and Lu Bu was physically exhausted, so he was defeated. But whether it was Gao Ye or Lu Bu at that time, they all praised Zhao Yun's martial arts especially better than Gao Ye, so how could people in the world not know Zhao Yun's name?
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's exactly below." Xu Zhuangshi also knows my name? ”
"Haha, that's nature. Tiger Prison Pass repelled Lu Bu, and the name of the general spread all over the world, how could a certain family not know! Since it was General Zhao in person, but did Duke Cao order someone to take the county? ”
"Not bad." Zhao Yun nodded immediately, and then told Xu Chu a rough explanation of why he was here, especially now that he was worried about He Yi's whereabouts, he didn't hide it at all. In the end, Zhao Yuncai said, don't call me General Zhao, and I don't want to call you Xu Zhuangshi, wouldn't it be good for everyone to be commensurate with each other. Although Xu Chu didn't dare to say anything when he heard this, the joy on his face really couldn't be hidden no matter what.
"Zhongkang, it's just that I just saw what you and the Yellow Turban were discussing, why is there no food in the village?" Zhao Yun asked with a strange expression. After all, the dock fort was heavily guarded, and it was not broken by the Yellow Turbans, so it stands to reason that it is only right for the two sides to continue fighting. However, Xu Chu led a cow and discussed with the Yellow Turban, thinking that after they had been besieged by the Yellow Turban for a long time, Zhao Yun immediately came to the conclusion that there was a shortage of food in the dock fort.
"Who's to say it isn't." Xu Chu touched his head and said hatefully, "Zilong, you also know that my county has always been less peaceful than under the rule of Cao Gong, and these yellow turban thieves are often wreaking havoc, so they can't collect much food, and they have to go out hunting to satisfy their hunger on weekdays." But this time, this wave of yellow scarves besieged me for two months. They couldn't get in, but we couldn't drive them away. You can't go out hunting once, so let's fight them. ”
"But even if you exchange cattle for food, how many days can you eat?"
"Just let my subordinates have a full meal!" Xu Chu laughed loudly, "When the yellow scarf sees that I am soft, he will definitely relax his vigilance." This ox has been exchanged for food, and there is another ploughing ox in my dock fort that has been slaughtered. I will give my sons a full meal, and tonight's attack at night will inevitably lead to the defeat of these two thousand yellow turbans. Xu Chu was in high spirits when he said this. Even Zhao Yun felt that it was very reasonable, which couldn't help but make Zhao Yun more determined to recruit this person. If Gao Ye was here, he would definitely laugh dumbly, after all, Xu Chu in history didn't wait for the night attack at all, he dragged the oxtail and dragged dozens of steps, which scared the courage of the yellow turban. It is said that the Yellow Turban thieves retreated because of this, and never dared to harass Xujiazhuang again.
After the two people called each other the words, the sense of distance was greatly reduced, and Xu Chu even invited Zhao Yun to enter the room, although Zhao Yun readily agreed, but still told Xu Chu that he would have to wait until he arranged his sergeants. Xu Chu also said that he understood, so he was holding the cow and chatting casually with Zhao Yun. Seeing Xiahoulan flying away, Zhao Yun made a slight gesture and greeted Xiahoulan. As for Xu Chu, he stood aside, secretly looking at Cao Jun, who was coming and going.
"Hengruo, how's the situation?"
"Back to the general, more than 2,000 Yellow troops were all defeated, 1,036 people were killed, 789 people were captured, and the number of escapees was estimated to be only two or three hundred. None of our troops were killed, only a few were slightly wounded. ”
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan were not far from Xu Chu, so what the two of them were saying, Xu Chu naturally heard it clearly. After such a battle, there were no casualties, and even if I heard such combat effectiveness, I was quite surprised. To be honest, Zhao Yun's ability has long been heard of, and he is not surprised at all that he is invincible on the battlefield. But Cao Jun under Zhao Yun is actually so elite! How they fought, I don't know, after all, I was patronizing the cattle at that time, and I didn't pay attention to the strength of Cao's army. But now that the battle has basically ended, the relaxed Cao army did not walk on the battlefield in twos and threes. As long as there are more than three people, they must be marching in a row, without the slightest intention of letting their guard down. Based on this alone, Xu Chu felt that the private soldiers he trained were much inferior to them.
"Well, that's good. Come on, Hengruo, let me introduce you, this strong man ......" Immediately Zhao Yun introduced Xu Chu to Xiahoulan, and then introduced Xiahoulan to Xu Chu. Zhao Yun focused on telling Xiahoulan how amazing Xu Chu's divine power was, and how he shook the bull, and Xiahoulan was stunned for a while. Then he praised: "The strong man is really powerful, I think this strength is by no means inferior to General Dian Wei under the lord's account." ”
"Dian Wei? Who are they? Xu Chuqi said.
Xia Houlan added oil and vinegar for a while, and roughly introduced Dian Wei to Xu Chu. Especially for his move to stabilize the flagpole with the strength of one person, it was even more detailed, and even Xu Chu was fascinated when he heard it.
Just now Zhao Yun saw Xu Chu secretly looking at his subordinates, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Speaking of Cao Jun now, it is really different from years ago. Since Gao Shun became the commander-in-chief of military training, Cao Jun's combat effectiveness has definitely risen a notch. Although it has only been a few months, Cao Jun's mental outlook and cooperation with each other are completely different from the original. This also surprised Xiahoudun, who was scornful of queue training, and only after that did he seriously learn how to train troops from Gao Shun. Especially the book "Actual Record of Military Training" in Gao Shun's hand, Cao Cao couldn't help but be shocked when he read it. The military books in the world are all about how to lead troops to fight, how can there ever be a book dedicated to how to train soldiers?
Now that Xu Chu is fascinated by what Xiahoulan said, Zhao Yun knows that the probability that Xu Chu can be persuaded by himself has reached eighty percent. When we were chatting, Xu Chu said that "Qian County is not as good as Cao Gong's rule", and with this sentence, Zhao Yun heard Xu Chu's yearning for Cao Gong's rule. Now that he has seen the elite of Cao Jun, and he is also a strange person like Dian Wei, how can Xu Chu not be moved?
Therefore, Zhao Yun asked Xiahou Lan to arrange camping, and by the way, after everyone gathered in the dock fort with grain and grass, they began to solicit vigorously. "Zhongkang, I see that you are also capable, why don't you come with me and go to serve Cao Gong? It's better than wasting time in this mountain village! ”
Xu Chu smiled innocently when he heard this, and said, "What Zilong said, isn't what I think in my heart." It's just that I'm an ordinary person, if I don't have a chance, how can I get into the eyes of Cao Gong. ”
Zhong Kang's words are wrong. Haven't you heard that my lord Cao Gong has issued an order for meritocracy a few years ago? ”
"Naturally, a certain family has heard of this. But you have also seen that in the area of Qiaojun, yellow turbans are raging. In this Xu family village, all of them are relatives of my Xu family, if I go to Yanzhou alone, who can keep this side safe? If I take you with me, how can I accommodate you? That's why I never went to Yanzhou. ”
"Now that Yanzhou is under the rule of Cao Gong, there will be no more yellow turbans and bandits, so Zhong Kang naturally doesn't have to worry about it? How about it, if Zhong Kang is interested, it is better to temporarily serve as my deputy general and take me back to Yingchuan, the lord will definitely be reused! Xu Chu still needs to hesitate, but Zhao Yun's words are indeed very tempting, his background is not good, whether it is Yuan Shu in Huainan or Liu Biao in Jingzhou, all the ministers under him are children of the family. How can you please someone like yourself if you go? On the other hand, Cao Cao has the existence of meritocracy, and he has long been yearning for it. Now there is Zhao Yun's solicitation and recommendation, and he is under Cao Cao's account, and he wants to have a bright future.
Therefore, Xu Chu, who was refreshing, agreed to Zhao Yun's request in one bite. Even Xia Houlan was happy with such a result, of course, while rejoicing, there was a sense of crisis in her heart. Now the generals under Cao Cao's account can be more powerful than the other, and their own martial arts are not ranked at all in Cao's camp. If it weren't for the fact that he was a member of Xiahou Yuan's clan, I am afraid that he would not be able to reach the position of deputy general now. Xia Houlan thought of this, and strengthened her heart to study hard. Since it is impossible to dominate the battlefield in martial arts, it is necessary not to lose to others in command.
However, Xiahoulan still reluctantly played the role of the bad scenery, and Xiahoulan, who had arranged everything, arched her hand at Zhao Yun and said, "General Yu, according to the prisoner's confession, He Yi has returned to Jiyin. It's Yuan Shu's territory, I'm afraid that I can't do anything about He Yi now. ”
