Chapter Ninety-Five: The Ranger at the Mouth of the Yangtze River
“! Xu Chu! Xu Jue was taken aback when he heard this, "I didn't expect him to be Xu Chu, it's really unexpected!" ”
Guo Jia and the others next to him saw Xu Qi's eyes flickering, their expressions were excited, and they wondered: "Lord, why are you so excited?" ”
"Oh, hehe," Xu Jue smiled slightly to cover up the past, "Yang Zaixing is one of the best masters in our army, but he can't defeat this person in hand-to-hand combat, I love him very much!" ”
Seeing Guo Jia and the others nodding, he muttered in his heart: It seems that the city government is not deep enough, and the emotions are sometimes difficult to control and shaped, so you have to study hard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"By the way," Xu Jue continued to ask Xiao Sanguo in his mind, "Doesn't Xu Chu have skills?" ”
"Yes, two skills: 'Protector', the strength and agility of the Lord soar by 7 points when the Lord is in trouble, and 'Tiger Idiot', the physical consumption in the battle is greatly reduced, and one of the three dimensions of force will increase by 1 point every five rounds, and the effect will continue until the end of the battle."
"Strong! is worthy of Cao Cao's bodyguard, but I don't know how it compares to my two bodyguards? "Xu Jue secretly compared in his heart, Leng Ye is the kind of person who is good at fighting alone, Wu Dao is good at lurking assassination, strictly speaking, he can't be regarded as a qualified bodyguard, but this Xu Chu is professional, and a 'protector' skill can be seen.
said that after more than a dozen rounds of tricks between Xu Chu and Yang Zaixing, one relied on his agility to repeatedly turn danger into a disaster; One relies on his strength and thick skin and thick flesh, even if he is hit a few times, he will not fall behind.
Seeing this, Xu Qi shouted: "Stop, two!" ”
The two were about to fight again, but when they heard the words, they turned their heads, Yang Zaixing bounced away quickly, and said with a painful face: "Lord, this person has rough skin and thick meat, and the general is really invincible!" ”
"Yo! You're the lord of this little one! Xu Chu looked at Xu Jue with one hand holding his chin when he heard this, "I see that you are extraordinary, righteous and awe-inspiring, you shouldn't be a bad person, hehe, I'll leave if it's okay, the people in Tunli are still waiting for my cow!" "Just leave.
"Strong and slow!" Xu Jue hurriedly stopped, turned over and dismounted, came to Xu Chu, and bowed: "The strong man is extraordinary, in today's troubled times, the heroes are rising together, why not join the army to make a effort, but live in this small valley with peace of mind?" ”
Xu Chu sighed, and then said with a smile: "This official, it's not that I, Xu Chu, don't want to join the army, I joined the army during the Yellow Turban Turmoil a few years ago, I don't want the officers and soldiers to be corrupt, and the Yellow Turban thieves are no different, searching the people everywhere, I can't look past it, I killed the commander of the army, escaped from the army, and came here alone." ”
Xu Jue nodded, indeed, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the government and the army were all corrupt, not to mention that the officers plundered the people, even killing people and eating meat often happened.
Xu Chu said that his eyes were full of memories here, and he sighed again: "There were hundreds of people in this tun'er at first, and then the yellow turban thieves came to attack, I led the young and middle-aged people in the tunzi to fight against the enemy, many young and middle-aged people died in battle, and now there are only old and weak women and children left in this tun'er, I can't bear to abandon them, so I didn't join the army!" ”
When Xu Jue heard this, he admired: "Xu Chu Zhuangshi, in Xia Nai Chaisang Taishou Xu Jue, originally went to Yingchuan to visit Xian, on the way back I heard the sound of fighting and came here, if the strong man does not give up, you might as well come to me Chaisang, I will ensure that the strong man can have an official and a half position!" ”
Xu Chu smiled: "It turned out to be Xu Taishou, but what should I do if I am old and weak in the tunzi?" ”
"Hehe, don't bother with the strong man, you can take all the people in the tunzi to Chaisang!"
"Good!" Xu Chu laughed, agreed loudly, and arched his hand: "I have heard for a long time that Xu Taishou is benevolent and righteous, and sure enough, please let Xu Taishou let me do some work, they will listen to me more, they will definitely come, and they will follow you on the road later!" ”
"Okay, strong man go slowly!"
"Please wait a minute!" Xu Chu bowed his hand and gave a rough salute, turned around and led the cow away.
Xu Qi hurriedly shouted: "Zhuangshi, you stay here, don't you want to go to Chaisang with me?" ”
"Oh!" Xu Chu patted his head, turned his head and smiled, "Hehe, look at my brain!" Then he loosened the knot and strode away.
Yang Zaixing muttered dissatisfiedly: "This fool! ”
Xu Jue smiled and asked, "Yang Zaixing, what do you think of this person?" ”
"Lord, don't look at him all over the body, he is very agile, and his strength is really amazing!"
"Hehe," Xu Jue smiled, this Xu Chu is a bit like Sammo Hung , they are all strong people with great contrasts in skill and size!
About an hour later, Xu Jue and the others were chatting, and suddenly a loud voice came: "Xu Taishou, I'm here!" ”
Xu Jue turned his head to take a look, and saw Xu Chu carrying a simple knife around his waist, followed by a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled, some holding babies in their hands, those with rickets on their backs, carrying large bags and small bags, and pushing small carts...... It's just a picture of crossing the river with people.
"Xu Zhuangshi," Xu Qi frowned, "Most of these people are incapacitated, this is a long way to go to Chaisang, there are still hundreds of miles away, I am worried that there will be thieves and harassment on this trip, you might as well wait in front, your palace behind, right?" ”
"Well," Xu Chu thought for a moment and shook his head, "Xu Taishou, it's still me in front, you in the back, first, I can give them a sense of security in front, and second, I'm also a member of Chaisang, this kind of pioneer opening the way is still left to me!" ”
"That's fine." Xu Jue nodded, this Xu Chu is wise and foolish, although he seems to be careless, but his mind is really delicate and thoughtful.
"Alright, let's go!" Xu Chu made a big move back, his stout body was like an iron tower, and hundreds of people felt a sense of security, and when this large army passed by, Xu Qi and others followed behind, as the last line of defense to guard this army.
It's only seventy or eighty miles a day, and at this rate, it will take about ten days to get to Chaisang, but Xu Qi doesn't care.
If they hadn't met Xu Chu, the five of them would have been able to reach it in two or three hundred miles a day, four or five days; But when I met Xu Chu, although it took an extra five days of travel, but after all, I dug up Xu Chu, a fierce general, as time goes by, I will definitely fight with Cao Cao in the future, maybe Cao Cao will lose him because I got Xu Chu, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the battle, it is not a matter of five days, in short, this deal can be drawn.
Walking all the way, there are no accidents. Seven or eight days later, everyone came to the Yangtze River, and hundreds of people looked at the Yangtze River, but there was no way to cross the river.
When Xu Jue and Yang Zaixing went to Yingchuan, there were countless boatmen by the river, but now they didn't even see a single figure, Xu Jue was suspicious: It's daytime now, why don't there be any boatmen?
The people were also chattering, their faces were sad, worried about the crossing of the river, and some of them were tired of walking because they had been in a hurry for the past few days, so they sat decisively on the ground and beat their legs, passing the time.
"Bell bell bell ...... Bell bell bell ......"
A crisp copper bell sounded, although the environment was noisy, but Xu Jue was keen, frowned and listened quietly, convinced of no doubt, before turning his head to Yang Zaixing and the others and said, "Have you ever heard the copper bell?" ”
"Yes!" They all nodded in agreement, as the brass bell was getting closer and closer, and the horse's hooves were sounding, and the people who had slackened heard it, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction from which the sound came.
More than 100 horsemen gathered around at a rapid pace, all with bells hanging from their necks, gorgeously dressed, wearing short knives at their waists, and short bows on their backs, whistling wildly and uninhibitedly.
The leader stepped out of the ranks, raised the iron halberd in his hand and pointed at the group of people: "Hand over your belongings, I want to ask for it!" ”
