"Hey, it's really General Ziyang." This will Zhang Liao also squeezed out of the team, he had seen Han Lie, and the purpose of his breakthrough this time was to take refuge in Han Lie, so when he saw Han Lie here, he couldn't help but be a little excited.

"This is General Zhang Wenyuan." When Han Lie saw Zhang Liao, who was sturdy and handsome, he asked.

"In front of General Han, how dare I call myself a general, it is just below." Zhang Liao had seen Han Lie from afar under the Tiger Prison in the past, and he had always remembered Han Lie's demeanor and majesty, and when he saw Han Lie again at this moment, he found that Han Lie's bearing was even worse, and he also felt Han Lie's humility like a spring breeze, and he had a good feeling.

"Haha, Wen Yuan is too modest." Han Lie laughed heartily and proposed, "The brothers must be tired and thirsty after a night of marching, I see that there is a village in front of me, why don't you go and rest for a while, and then let the soldiers have a full meal?" ”

"Very good." Zhang Liao was afraid that Gao Shun should not, so he rushed back first.

Gao Shun saw that Zhang Liao agreed, so he arched his hand towards Han Lie, said hello, turned around and returned to the army, and commanded the troops to continue marching in front. In the face of Gao Shun's indifference, Han Lie didn't care too much, Zhang Liao stopped by the side of the road apologetically, and said: "Brother Gao, he is this character, and he has no intention of slacking off the general." ”

"It doesn't matter, General Gao is a general of the army, and it is also within his duty to transfer troops and command." Han Lie waved his hand disapprovingly, and said to Zhang Fen: "Bring that white crane horse to General Wenyuan." ”

"Lord, isn't that your mount?" When Zhang Fen heard this, he thought he had misheard him, so he couldn't help but hesitate to ask.

"Where is so much nonsense, let you go." Han Lie was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Fen, who was usually obedient, to drop the chain at a critical moment, and he was quite unhappy and reprimanded.

"Whoa." Zhang Fen responded angrily, and hurriedly turned the horse's head and went to the back of the team to lead the horse.

You must know that this white crane horse is the Cao Hong mount that Xu Huang killed Cao Hong in the Battle of Xuzhou, it is a thousand-mile horse from the Hetao region, covered like snow charcoal, but this horse seems to be short and thin, but it is running like the wind, agile and full of spirituality.

However, due to the fact that this horse is quite human, after Cao Hongzhan died, this horse did not drink or eat for a while, and later thanks to Li Yang, who was in Han Lie's house, after several months of careful service, this horse was fed.

It's not that Han Lie is reluctant to take the BMW and despises Dian Wei, the reason is that Dian Wei is as strong as an ox, and although the White Crane Horse is a thousand-mile horse, his body size is really not compatible with Dian Wei, and it is also in consideration of this that Han Lie did not agree to give this horse to Dian Wei.

"What a horse." Zhang Liao was born in the border area of the state, but he was no stranger to Soma, and when he saw the white crane horse led by Zhang Fen, he couldn't help but praise secretly.

When he learned that Han Lie actually asked for a horse to be given to him, he couldn't help but excuse himself with some urgency: "How can a certain virtue be able to, An dare to be given such a gift by the general." ”

"Wen Yuan is too modest, although this horse is good, it is only worth a thousand gold, but Wen Yuan's ability is no less than Ma Fubo. This horse is just an expression of a certain desire for talent, and I hope that Wen Yuan should not refuse. Han Lie stepped forward sincerely, and saluted again sincerely.

"This ......" Although Zhang Liao said that he had the heart to attach himself to Han Lie, he didn't expect Han Lie to be so courteous to him, and while he was moved, a sense of confidant rose in his heart.

"Hmph, how can you do it, dare to snub my lord so much, are you willing to give a happy word." Dian Wei saw that Zhang Liao was indifferent on the back of the horse, and he did not return the salute to Han Lie, so he immediately waved his halberd angrily.

"Thanks to the great grace of the lord, I dare not do the work of dogs and horses." Zhang Liao definitely didn't have the heart to slack off just now, purely because he was stunned by Han Lie's courtesy.

Thinking that he boasted that he had a civil and military strategy, and became famous as a young man, but when he turned to the Central Plains, he saw hundreds of civil and military officials, not fifty, but also a hundred, but there was no one who treated him like Han Lie with courtesy.

"Wen Yuan, please get up quickly." Han Lie hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the other party, led the horse for him and said, "Please Wenyuan get on the horse." ”

"Whew." Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Zhu Huan and others behind him were all dumbfounded, they never expected that Han Lie would be so polite to Zhang Liao, this attitude and honor were enough to make a courtier shine in history.

"The last will be terrified." Zhang Liao was also shocked, and hurriedly bowed to the ground.

"Wenyuan, you deserve it, you have to remember that the honor is earned by yourself, not by others, and I give you this honor today precisely because you deserve it, and I also know that with your talent, you can also earn it back." Han Lie leaned over and helped Zhang Liao onto the horse, pointed at Zhang Liao in public and said, "Wenyuan is my thousand-mile horse." ”

Gao Shun, who was in the front military array, naturally saw all this in his eyes, and when he saw Han Lie's courtesy to Zhang Liao, Gao Shun couldn't help but sigh lightly: "This is the Ming Lord's atmosphere, if Feng Xian is half of his mind, why is this." ”

When the troops entered the village in front and camped, Han Lie and the others knew that they had deviated from the direction and had come to the territory of Qian County in the west of Peiguo.

"Old man, I see that the people here are rich and rich, and there is no war in the slightest, what is the reason for this?" When he came to the village elders to chat, Han Lie asked curiously.

When they entered the village just now, they found that there were more than 20 young men passing through this village, which was no more than 100 households, and they all had rudimentary defensive weapons such as bows, arrows, and spears. If it weren't for the prosperity of Han Lie's soldiers and horses, and the banner of the Han army, he would have to go through a battle to enter the village.

"The general doesn't know, we are called Xujiazhuang here, and the road behind the village is a few miles ahead, which is where the township market is, and the village lives on the leader of our township, Xu Chu, not to mention Qiaoxian, that is, the thieves in the land of Huai, Ru, Chen, and Liang, or the officials and soldiers dare not come to provoke our Xujiazhuang." The village elder's proud words surprised Han Lie when he heard it.

"Old man, do you mean that this Xu Jiazhuang is Xu Chu's hometown?" Han Lie asked again in disbelief, he really didn't know that Xu Chu's family lived in Qian County, and the only memory in his mind was that Xu Chu was Cao Cao's personal guard, known as a tiger idiot.

As for where Xu Chu is from, when he defected to Cao Cao, he has no memory at all, and during the previous Battle of Xuzhou, he also wondered why Cao Cao did not bring the fierce general Xu Chu, and dared to feel that Xu Chu was still nesting in his hometown at this time.

"This can be fake, our Xujiazhuang is dozens of miles away, there are 3,000 families, all of them rely on Xu Zhuang's guards to avoid military disasters again and again, and they were able to settle down here." Speaking of Xu Chu, this old man's face was full of respect.

"Such a hero, I should go and visit." Han Lie said calmly, but at this time, Zhang Fen hurriedly said: "My lord, just now General Dian was on guard outside the village, and when he encountered a group of people, he didn't agree with each other, and the big man who led the team and General Dian fought and killed. ”

"Could it be that Xu Chu is here." Han Lie stood up with some expectation, and Tai Shici, Zhu Huan, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun, who would receive the report, also rushed out one after another.

"Let's go and have a look." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Han Lie got on his horse and galloped out towards the entrance of the village.

However, at this moment, on the open barn at the entrance of the village, the two big men trembled together, and they were in full swing, roaring angrily, like a bell, making people's eardrums feel like they were about to burst.

"Lord, this person is so powerful, he is actually able to fight on a par with the old man in the foot battle, and he is very good." Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but marvel at it.

In terms of archery and horsemanship, he was the first in Han Lie's army, he was not as good as Zhao Yun in terms of marksmanship, and when it came to breaking the formation and charging, he admitted that he respected Xu Huang, and he was desperate in the starting battle, and he was willing to bow to Dian Wei.

Not to mention Tai Shi Ci, who fought foot, Han Lie, who is now a martial artist, does not dare to win easily, and can only rely on his breath and strength to consume Dian Wei's physical strength to have the certainty of victory.

"Ziyi doesn't know, this person's name is Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang, you see that he is nearly nine feet long, his waist is like a bear and a tiger, and his arms are like a long ape, it can be seen that he is born with divine power, and his knife skills are skilled, it can be seen that he has specialized in swordsmanship for many years. When Han Lie saw Xu Chu, who was as strong as a bear and tiger, he couldn't help but smile on his face, such a tiger general, he would definitely get it quickly.

And Gao Shun on the side, looking at Xu Chudianwei and the two who were fighting on the field, couldn't help but show a hint of discoloration in his eyes, although this kind of skill is slightly inferior to Lu Bu, but it is still one in a million.

At least Gao Shun himself admits that he is not an opponent. And Zhang Liao was also surprised, while watching the battle in the field intently, in contrast, he also had to sigh that these two people were definitely the 10,000 enemies who guarded the Chinese army and slashed the generals.

Zhu Huan and Zhang Fen looked excited and nervous.

"Black-faced man, take me another knife." In the blink of an eye, the two had already fought fifty rendezvous, but neither of them could gain the upper hand, holding a phoenix mouth knife weighing forty-two catties, Xu Chu, who was wearing two armors, shouted, and the seven-foot long knife swept towards Dian Wei like a whirlwind and clouds.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Dian Wei, who was holding a double iron halberd, was wearing a horse armor and a hood on his head, which had already been thrown aside by him, and he was crowned with his hair, his dark face was full of concentration, and the double iron halberd in his hand danced impermeable, and with the movement of his footsteps, he raised a piece of dust.

"This guy has a lot of strength, I've only seen it in my life." Dian Wei retreated a few steps in a row, only then did he block Xu Chu's onslaught, and he stabilized the formation, secretly sighed, a dodge, the iron halberd in his hand stabbed down in the air, and the short halberd in his left hand swept through, setting off a halberd net-like light to cover Xu Chu in it.

"It's good to come." Xu Chu did not retreat but advanced, the phoenix mouth knife in his hand suddenly swooped, and while blocking Dian Wei's volley, the handle of the knife was shocked, and the homeopathic movement of defending and attacking swept towards Dian Wei who pounced.

"Wow!" Dian Wei shouted, and as soon as he retracted the halberd in his right hand, he swung out in all directions, guarding the vital points of his whole body.

In the blink of an eye, one hundred and fifty rendezvous passed, and the two were already sweating profusely, but neither of them admitted defeat, but became more and more courageous, and with the fierce fighting, blood stains began to appear on the two of them, although they were not fatal wounds, but anyone could see that as long as there was a slight mistake, it would inevitably be the result of death and serious injury.

Han Lie couldn't sit back and watch such a situation happen, and until now, he also believed that the two of them understood each other, even if they continued to tremble, they were afraid that it would be difficult for each other to win or lose, so he immediately stepped out and plunged straight into the battle circle between the two with a knife.

"Retreat." With the impact of the war horse, the horse chopping knife in Han Lie's hand swung and slashed at the weapons of the two with a sword, and he quickly turned over from the horse and landed between the two.

"Stop it." When he turned around, Han Lie was in front of him, standing on the ground with a steady pace, resisting the blade that Xu Chu cut through the air, but his steps trembled slightly.

"It's so strong." The force of the shock that he felt back from the blade surprised Xu Chu.

"Huh, I didn't expect that the lord's martial arts have grown to this point, I'm afraid that Feng Xian will be able to fight with it in the world." Gao Shun and Zhang Liao changed color again, and Han Lie's martial arts have indeed reached the peerless realm now, and they have broken through the peak realm of super-first-class.

And Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's current martial arts are just hovering between first-class and quasi-first-class, not to mention the peerless realm, even the peak of first-class is too early for them.

But Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who were on the battlefield in front of them, had obviously reached the realm of super-first-class, and they were separated by a line from the peak.

"Who are you?" Xu Chu's eyes sank, and he looked at Han Lie, who was as calm as a mountain in front of him, in amazement, and held the phoenix mouth knife in his hand tightly, the handsome general in front of him gave him a much greater threat than the black-faced man just now.

"Big Tiger, this is the lord of my family, the envoy of Xuzhou Muhan." Dian Wei saw that Xu Chu was deflated, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

"General Han Ziyang?" Xu Chu had obviously heard of Han Lie's name, and immediately asked in surprise.

"It is Han Lie, Zhong Kang Zhuang was offended just now." Han Lie nodded, holding the knife and smiling slightly.

"A certain person has eyes that don't know Mount Tai, and he collided with the general, please forgive the general." However, the next step was to make Han Lie and the others stunned, only to see Xu Chu actually throw off his armor and skirt, and bow to the ground: "Please also ask the general to take him in, a certain is willing to follow the general to the death, and he will not hesitate to lead the horse for the general." ”

"Hehe, you're a big tiger, but you're also an interesting person." Dian Wei was stunned for a moment and grinned.

Han Lie hurriedly held up Xu Chu and said with a smile: "Why does Zhongkang need such a big gift, I will not give up, in the future, you and I will be brothers in the robe, and we will fight side by side." ”

"My lord." Xu Chu bowed again with great joy.

"Zhong Kang, please get up." Han Lie was overjoyed to hold his hand, laughed and returned to the village side by side.

Subsequently, Han Lie led his army into Xujiazhuang. On the same day, Xu Chu dedicated 1,200 of his followers to Han Lie as foot soldiers, and Han Lie immediately appointed Xu Chu as a lieutenant to continue to command the sergeants of the unit.

There are 3,700 households in Xujiazhuang, with a population of 14,000 people, and under the call of Xu Chu, all these people expressed their willingness to follow Xu Chu to Han Lie, and each brought their families to Xuzhou.

In this regard, Han Lie also immediately expressed his position, not only giving all the people of Xujiazhuang household registration, houses, and farmhouses, but also exempting the people of the village from paying taxes for three years. The people of Xujiazhuang usually rely on Xu Chu to protect them, and now Xu Chu has joined the army, if they stay, they will be warned, so leaving home and going to Xuzhou is undoubtedly the best choice.

On the third day of Panhuan in Xujiazhuang, when Han Lie returned with a full load and passed under the city of Peiguo, Yuan Shu had already led his army north to Xuchang, because he had decided to move the administrative office to Xuchang, and at this time, he had already called himself a general and a pastor of Yuzhou.

However, this kid didn't forget that Han Lie promised to cede Pengcheng at that time, and when Han Lie led his army to pass through Peiguo City, his Gong Cao Huiqu was ordered to come to ask for Pengcheng. Of course, Yuan Shu was also very defensive against Han Lie, he left 20,000 horses in Peiguo, and appointed the general Zhang Xun to serve as the minister of Peiguo, and when Han Lie led a large group of men and horses to cross the border, Zhang Xun was also vigilant and sent a team of 5,000 men and horses all the way to send Han Lie out of Peiguo.

The reason why Han Lie agreed to cede Pengcheng to Yuan Shu was naturally for a reason, it turned out that after Pengcheng was slaughtered by Cao Cao, the population of the whole county was now less than 20,000 people, and when he passed by Pengcheng this time, Sun Guan, the minister of Pengcheng who he appointed, complained to him.

For this reason, Han Lie promised him at that time to let him concentrate the population and move to Xiapi Kingdom, and promised Sun Guan that he would use troops to Taishan and Langya in the next step, and then these two counties would be at his disposal.

Sun Guan's dissatisfaction, which was promised by Han Lie, was finally calmed down, and for Han Lie, ceding an empty city to Yuan Shu had no loss, and won the reputation of cutting the city for a general, which can be described as a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

And this trip to Peiguo also won a complete victory, not only won the submission of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, but also met Xu Chu unexpectedly, and also surrendered their thousands of soldiers and horses, as well as more than 10,000 people. So when faced with Hui Qu's request for Pengcheng, Han Lie gave him a warrant without saying a word, and then returned to the East China Sea with a large team of men. (To be continued.) )
