Cao Zhang took Xu Chu to the county government to ask to see Cao Cao, and Cao Cao heard that someone had brought more than 10,000 people to take refuge, so he immediately asked people to lead the two to the main hall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, there were only three people in the main hall, Cao Cao Dianwei and Guo Jia, and Cao Zhang took Xu Chu to the hall and said to Cao Cao: "Father, this strong man's name is Xu Chu, and he is from Qianjun. ”

After Cao Zhang's introduction, Xu Chu immediately saluted, don't look at him as a martial artist, but he is silent and understands etiquette, which is different from the babbling image in some biographies of later generations.

Cao Cao laughed, immediately got up and ran to help Xu Chu up, and said, "Strong man!" Can there be a table word? ”

Xu Chu replied: "Chu is Zhongkang." ”

Cao Cao smiled at Guo Jia and said, "This is my fan." Then he said to Xu Chu: "How many prime of life are there under Zhong Kang?" Is it good at fighting? As soon as they met, they were commensurate with the words, which shows how much Cao Cao likes Xu Chu.

Xu Chu replied: "There are more than 2,000 people in my country, although they do not have strong armor and sharp weapons, but they often fight with thieves, and there is a tacit understanding between advance and retreat, and they are not weak. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Wonderful! There is only one battalion of the Wuhu Guard now, with more than 3,000 people in eight divisions, led by Captain Dian Wei, since Zhong Kang's sons and daughters have been fighting side by side for a long time, they should be set up as a battalion, 2,000 people in five departments, 400 people each, and the subordinate officers are set up by Zhong Kang himself, as the guards, to protect the safety of my father and son, what is Zhong Kang's will? ”

One is to be a captain of the soldiers, on par with Dian Wei, and he does not break up his subordinates to various camps, which is enough to see Cao Cao's respect and trust in Xu Chu, Cao Zhang doesn't know why Cao Cao trusts Xu Chu so much, but history proves that Cao Cao has completely won Xu Chu's loyalty by doing so.

Xu Chu still had that cautious expression, and saluted: "Zhongkang, you will live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Zhongkang, my son Cao Zhang has been fighting with me all the year round, and his safety will be entrusted to you in the future." ”

Xu Chu immediately replied: "I will not let my son lose a single hair!" ”

Cao Cao said: "Now there are fifty people in the Tiger Guards to protect my son, Zhong Kang can lead these fifty people to protect my son first, as for the sergeants under Zhong Kang, they still need to go to Xu Du to record their military registration and receive armor and weapons before they can join the Tiger Guards." ”

Xu Chu replied: "No! ”

Cao Zhang's heart was a little moved when he heard Cao Cao's arrangement, it seemed that Cao Ang's death had indeed made Cao Cao pay attention to his safety, and immediately saluted Cao Cao and said, "Thank you, father." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Zhang'er sit down, there is a military report coming today, and Father and Fengxiao are discussing." ”

Cao Zhang sat aside when he heard this, Xu Chu stood behind Cao Zhang silently, and Cao Cao said: "Today's report, Lu Bu persuaded Yang Feng to defect and defeat Yuan Shu's generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui, and Yuan Shu has been greatly injured. ”

Cao Zhang asked: "Father, should our army start the army now and take Shouchun directly?" ”

Cao Cao said: "My father has this intention, just now I was just discussing with Feng Xiao how to treat Yang Feng." ”

Cao Zhang remembered that Yang Feng's subordinate Xu Huang had been reused by Cao Cao, and said: "Although Yang Feng also wanted to hold the Son of Heaven hostage in Anyi in the past, he still sent the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang after all, and then his father defeated Yang Feng in Luoyang. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Fengxiao also means this, but our army is now limited in military rations, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers under Yang Feng, so it is difficult to help." ”

"That's right..." Cao Zhang suddenly found that Guo Jia and Cao Cao looked at him and smiled silently, obviously with the intention of teaching.

Cao Zhang pondered for a while and said: "Since my father has this concern, so does Lu Bu, Liu Bei naturally has the same thoughts, Yang Feng has rebelled against Yuan Shu, there is no place for him between the three counties of Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou, so let him fend for himself, and now Yang Feng is between Yang and Xu, and he can't travel far without military food, even if it is a disaster, it is not in the territory of our army." ”

Guo Jia smiled after hearing this: "The third son has made considerable progress. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "It is Feng Xiao's teaching, since this is the case, our army will raise troops to attack Shouchun two days later, and at the same time repair another letter to let Lu Bu and Liu Bei speed up the march to besiege Shouchun." ”

After the discussion, Cao Zhang walked out of the county government, Xu Chu followed indifferently behind him, and came to the gate of the county government, Cao Zhang said to his guards: "Call all my guards to stand by in the military camp and school field, you can go too!" ”

Several guards replied in unison, "No! With that, he departed.

Cao Zhang got on the horse and walked to the barracks with Xu Chu, and Cao Chang said to Xu Chu on the way: "Captain Xu, the Tiger Guards are my father's personal guards, all of them are arrogant, if you want to be their leader, you have to show your hand!" That's how Captain Diandu subdued them. ”

Xu Chu replied: "No! ”

After arriving at the barracks, Cao Zhang went straight to the school field, Xu Chu walked beside Cao Zhang, because of his strong body, the sergeants in the camp were all sideways, because Cao Jun's military discipline was strict, so these sergeants did not follow behind to watch, but were only surprised in private.

Between the two of them, a man in civilian clothes and no armor suddenly shouted to Cao Zhang: "The third prince is so interested, why did you come to the barracks?" ”

The person who came was Cao Chun, Cao Zhang immediately smiled and said: "Uncle Zihe, my father named this Xu Zhuang as the captain of the Tiger Guard, and the two thousand strong men under his command will be incorporated into the Tiger Guard, you also know, the tiger and leopard ride, the Tiger Guard is very arrogant, and how to serve the public if the strong man is not allowed to show his hand." ”

Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Yuan are all Cao Cao's very close brothers, so Cao Zhang's conversation with them is quite casual, like a family.

Cao Chun came to Cao Zhang's front and grabbed Cao Zhang's horse reins and walked towards the school field, and smiled at Xu Chu who was on the other side: "In this case, let me help Xu Duwei, and we will learn from each other later." ”

Cao Zhang smiled at Xu Chu and said: "Captain Xu, my son and uncle are the first elite tiger and leopard cavalry commander of our army, and those big men are all afraid of him to death, so you have to be careful later." ”

Xu Chu replied: "The last general should do his best." ”

After the three of them arrived at the school ground, Cao Zhang's guards had already assembled, and they were sitting very loosely on the ground chatting and farting, and immediately got up and stood solemnly after seeing Cao Zhang, and they didn't dare to take a breath when they saw Cao Chun, whether it was a tiger or a leopard ride, or a tiger guard, there were only two people they were most afraid of, one was Dian Wei, and the other was Cao Chun.

Cao Chun shouted to the guards: "This strong man is the new captain of the Tiger Guard, and after that, the two thousand people under his command will join the Tiger Guard, and when you see him in the future, you will shout Lord Captain!" ”

Fifty guards shouted in unison: "No! Lord Rider! "The voice was extremely loud.

Cao Chun sighed and smiled: "Rabbit cub! Turning to Cao Zhang, he said, "Third son, borrow a horse." ”

Cao Zhang dismounted when he heard this, and Cao Chun smiled at Xu Chu: "Captain Xu, show your hand!" After saying that, he dragged the horse up on the lower abdomen with one hand, and the horse neighed, and was suddenly thrown up more than ten meters high.

Cao Chang was dumbfounded, Cao Zhang's horse is a good horse in the north, weighing at least more than a ton, Cao Chun can throw it up with such a flick, you can imagine how strong this person's arm is, the horse fell down quickly, Xu Chu took a step forward, raised with one hand, supported the horse's body, and unloaded the strength of the horse's fall with a bend and a retraction of his arm, and then pushed the horse to stop after settling his body in the air with a long neigh.

This is more difficult than throwing it, because the force of the horse's fall is greater and more fierce, but Xu Chu easily dissolves it, Cao Chun also saw an appreciative smile in his eyes, and then he shouted to the fifty guards: "Say hello to all of you, Lord Lieutenant!" ”

The fifty guards only woke up from their astonishment at this time, and shouted, "Lord Lieutenant is well!!! The voice was several times louder than just now, resounding through the sky, and Cao Zhang was a little dizzy when he was not paying attention.

A smile finally appeared on the corner of Xu Chu's mouth, obviously appreciating Cao Chun's actions.
