In the second year of Jian'an, that is, in July of 197 AD, Yuan Shu, who was called the emperor, and Lu Bu first started a battle!

The reason is because Lu Bu showed favor to Cao Cao, not only rejected Yuan Shu's proposal, but also sent Yuan Shu's envoy to Xudu, Cao Cao decisively beheaded the messenger, which completely angered Yuan Shu, so he sent the army to Yang Feng, who was in Runan's Zhizhi Station, and his generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui started to ride tens of thousands, and the troops attacked Xiapi in seven ways, looking like they wanted to kill Lu Bu.

The news reached Xudu, Cao Cao immediately ordered troops, of course, not to go to Xiapi to aid Lu Bu, but decisively sent troops to attack the empty Runan Zhizhi Pingyu, according to Cao Cao's plan, it was to occupy Pingyu and then attack Shouchun, the Huainan County Zhizhi where Yuan Shu was located, that is, Yuan Shu's 'capital', to surround Wei to save Zhao.

At the same time, Cao Cao also asked Liu Bei to send troops from Xiaopei to Liang State and Qian County to take Shouchun, this battle, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei formed an alliance.

Cao Chang still went out with the army, and since Cao Ang's death, Cao Cao's protection of Cao Chang has become more tight, and the guards have changed from ten to fifty, and he is afraid that he will have another accident.

Pingyu because Yang Feng led the troops to leave, Liu Shen felt that it was difficult for 10,000 people to stop Cao Cao's army, so he heard the wind and withdrew, Cao Cao took the Runan governance office without much effort, and because Runan is Yuan's hometown, the local wealthy families are not satisfied, so Cao Cao simply stabilized his power here, and at the same time met with Li Tong, who had taken refuge in him last year but did not meet.

Then Cao Cao and Li Tong and Guo Jia discussed day and night how to stabilize the foundation of Runan, and did not mention the attack on Shouchun, and Liu Bei was called to attack Shouchun on the surface, but the march was also extremely slow, and at this time he had not yet reached the border with Huainan, Cao Cao and Liu Bei seemed to be waiting for Lu Bu and Yuan Shu to divide the victory, at this point, the two people had a surprising tacit understanding, which made Cao Zhang understand how fragile the so-called alliance of Cao, Liu, and Lu Sanjun was.

Cao Zhang lives in Pingyu City, in addition to listening to Guo Jia's lectures, is to practice swordsmanship diligently, because Xiahoudun is not around, so some people who don't understand can only ask Dian Wei for advice, fortunately, although Dian Wei likes to use a double halberd, but the knife is not ambiguous, so Cao Zhang still benefited a lot.

Dian Wei suggested that Cao Zhang should not practice in the courtyard, but go to the city wall to practice, because the vision is wide and the practice will be enjoyable, according to Dian Wei's own experience, he used to practice martial arts to the top of the mountain to practice, while overlooking the earth while dancing weapons, what a pleasant thing.

So Cao Zhang is naturally good, and now he feels more and more that his body is indeed talented, and he is only eight years old when he holds the ring head knife used by adults and can swing freely, and he will not be vain in his steps for half an hour, and he looks like he is born with great energy, which makes Cao Zhang very happy, because he has also seen a lot of battles, and knows that the battlefield is sinister, if there is no extraordinary force, it is difficult to even protect himself, and now that he has such a performance, it will naturally not be too bad in the future.

On this day, Cao Zhang was still practicing swords at the head of the city, but he heard a sergeant guarding the city shouting: "Third son, there are many people outside the city!" ”

Cao Zhang heard the words and came to the battlements to look, and sure enough, he found that a crowd of people was coming towards Pingyu, in front of this group of people was a sturdy young man in coarse linen clothes, the number was about two thousand, and behind were old and weak women and children, about more than 10,000 people, with large bags and small bags, pulling carts, loaded with farm tools, hay, and grains slowly coming to this side.

At this time, Cao Ren, who was in charge of guarding the city, also came to Cao Zhang's side and looked at the group of people, and said, "It seems to be a member of a clan." ”

Because of the frequent wars in the Three Kingdoms era, the people did not produce, so many places are fertile land and waste, many people are hungry so the grass is a coward, even in the territory of the princes, there are many thieves who gather in the mountains and forests, because at this time the land is vast and sparsely populated, many local officers and soldiers are not managed, those thieves surrender today, tomorrow and again, it is a common thing, and robbing the countryside is commonplace.

Although this rabble rarely threatens a walled city or county seat, it makes the villagers living in the suburbs miserable, so many villagers will spontaneously gather together and build wooden villages to defend against the rogue bandits, and over time a clan will be formed, and a clan will inevitably have a more powerful leader.

Although the clan power does not have the ability to control a city and a county like the local tycoons, there are also many heroes with superior force, such as Li Tong of Langling, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan brothers, all of whom belong to the leaders of the clan forces, and later took the strong young people from their hometown to take refuge in Cao Cao.

Cao Ren was good at arching horses when he was young, and in Huai and Sijian, he also gathered more than 1,000 villagers to resist the rogue mob, so he could see at a glance that these people were a clan.

"Well, it should be here to join our army, Yuan Shu is the emperor, as long as you are not an idiot, you know that the war in Yuzhou is about to break out, and you are no longer in the city or county, I am afraid it will be difficult to be alone." Cao Zhang said.

Cao Ren passed down the order to let the soldiers at the head of the city not be on guard, but instead erected a banner to beckon those people to come to the city to talk, and after the group of people got closer, Cao Ren saw the leader and said in surprise: "Good man! ”

Cao Zhang also noticed that the leading person was taken aback, and spit out three words: "Good fat man!" ”

The leader is more than two meters tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, even more O'Neal than O'Neill, but he was born with big ears, a white face and no beard, no age, a simple face, and a long-handled knife about three meters long is inserted in his back.

Cao Ren and the other leaders shouted close to the front and back: "The name of the person who came! ”

The fat man knew how to be polite, hugged his fists and said, "Xu Chu, Xu, bring the clansmen to vote for Cao Sikong." The tone was flat, but Cao Zhang could hear it clearly.

Xu Chu!! Seeing him, Cao Zhang suddenly remembered the image of this benevolent brother in an action game in the island country, looked at the leather armor on his body that was about to be broken, and thought that if he changed the hammer and put on a horse coat, it was estimated that it would not be much worse.

Cao Ren said: "The strong man will wait for me to open the city gate." After saying that, let the garrison sergeant open the city gate.

The reason why Cao Ren opened the city gate so decisively was because Pingyu now had heavy troops, and there was a flat river all around, so there could be no ambush soldiers, and he was not afraid of this group of people to deceive him at all.

After the group of people came in, Cao Zhang suddenly spoke: "Uncle Zixiao, I am just about to go back to the county mansion to see my father, let me take this person there." ”

Cao Ren said: "This is just right, I was ordered to guard the city gate, it is really not appropriate to leave my post without permission, this person seems to be an extraordinary person, I can't lose my courtesy, and it is just right for the third prince to take it." After speaking, let his sergeants go to settle the Xu Chu people.

Cao Zhangze and Cao Ren said goodbye to the city wall and said to Xu Chu: "Zhuangshi, I'll take you to see Cao Sikong." After speaking, he said to the guards beside him, "Let this strong man give a horse." ”

Xu Chu said: "I'm afraid this horse will be difficult to carry Xu!" Childe and horse, Xu on foot. ”

"Oh, good!" After Cao Zhang finished speaking, he got on the horse and whipped the horse's buttocks, and then rode away, he wanted to see if Xu Chu could keep up.

After running out for a while, he saw Xu Chu striding behind him two feet away, and he was not thrown away at all, Cao Zhang secretly said in his heart: "The fat man is amazing!" As soon as he pulled the reins of the horse, he slowed down and smiled at Xu Chu: "The strong man is powerful." ”

Xu Chu replied: "Childe has won the prize!" The two of them headed towards the county mansion, with Cao Zhang's guards following behind.
