Chapter 56: Xu Chu helps
Zhao Miao, the general of Yufu, is also Zhao Wei's brother, but he is relatively stable and cautious, but he has to send troops to rescue him. Because as soon as Qu Ren is lost, then this Yufu County will become a lonely land.
As a result, Zhao Miao gritted his teeth and directly sent two thousand soldiers and horses to the rescue, and he was still in command himself, he was not worried that Liu Biao would fish here, because Liu Biao also hoped that Liu Xie's Shuzhou would be more chaotic, and he had no reason to help Liu Xie.
But unexpectedly, before he left the city, he was ambushed by Guan Yujun.
Zhao Miao's troops retreated in defeat, led the remnants of the army to re-enter Yufu, and let those remnants resist in the rear, while he returned to the city and asked people to re-pull the drawbridge and close the city gate.
Seeing that the city gate was about to close, Guan Yu's eyes were split, and he roared and brandished a big knife, but he was blocked by the remnants of the soldiers, so he could only watch.
And at this moment, what everyone didn't expect was that a fierce general holding a big knife and riding a horse came out of the city and cut Zhao Miao off the horse with one sword! Then he rushed out of the city gate, shouted, and slashed twice with a big knife, breaking the two ropes twisted with iron wire next to the drawbridge.
Seeing this situation, Guan Yu laughed, danced the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, and led his subordinates to enter the city in an instant.
"What's the name of a strong man? Thank you for your help! Guan Yu killed all the way to the big man with the knife and hugged his fists.
The big man grinned, "Well said! A certain Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang is also! ”
"You are Xu Zhongkang? That tiger? Sure enough, good knife skills! Thank you Brother Xu for your help! Guan Yu clenched his fists, a look of surprise flashed on his face, and at the same time he secretly wondered: How could this Xu Chu appear here? Could it be that he has also come to seek refuge with His Majesty?
Xu Chu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said, "A certain family is here to help you, not for the general, but for Your Majesty." Forget it, I'll talk to you about this later, let's take the city first! ”
Guan Yu was snatched white by Xu Chu, and his face was a little unbearable. But seeing the other party's violent sword technique, although it is not the same path as him, the strength of the two will not be too different, and Guan Yu is also a master on the same level.
So Guan Yu suppressed the dislike in his heart and turned around to kill the enemy. I secretly thought in my heart: This Xu Tiger, as His Majesty said, can compete with a certain one! But it's a little strange that he appears here!
With doubts, Guan Yu led his subordinates to kill Yufu......
Yufu's defender Zhao Miao was cut down by Xu Chu with a knife, and the entire Yufu lost its backbone, and Yufu's defenders were plotted by Guan Yu and Deng Zhi and others before, and now not only are there few left, but they are already frightened, coupled with the bravery of Guan Yu and Xu Chu, no one dares to compete with them at all.
Therefore, this battle did not last long before it was over.
Yufu recovered, Guan Yu had 3,000 soldiers and horses, and at least nearly 1,000 people were lost, if Xu Chu hadn't appeared, it was estimated that this loss would have been even greater, and Yufu would not have been able to take it. Speaking of which, Xu Chu can at least account for half of the credit for recovering Yufu, because he appeared too timely.
Yufu County Ya, Xu Chu washed off the blood on his body, and came to the hall to say goodbye to Guan Yu and others.
Guan Yu waved back left and right, leaving only Deng Zhi and Luo Yuan in the hall, and then asked Xu Chu, "Brother Xu, please speak up if you have something to say!" ”
When Xu Chu saw this posture, he sighed: "General Guan, I don't know where Your Majesty is now?" ”
When Guan Yu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know why Brother Xu inquired about His Majesty's whereabouts, you need to know ......"
Xu Chu knew that Guan Yu didn't believe him, so he took out the token that Liu Xie had given him, a jade pendant. But as a result, Guan Yu was still confused when he looked at this jade pendant, because Liu Xie didn't tell anyone else about Xu Chu and Lu Su at all in order to protect Lu Su and Xu Chu.
It's not Fa Zheng them, they don't know that Xu Chu is Liu Xie's henchman at all.
Xu Chu bared his teeth and said: "The stakes are very high, Xu is inconvenient to stay here for a long time, since the general has arrived in Yufu, I believe that Your Majesty should also come to Qu Ren, according to the estimation of the Yilu military division, Your Majesty should have already marched towards Linjiang at this time, and may even have taken Linjiang County." Then, Xu will leave first! ”
Guan Yu's lying silkworm frowned, in fact, he was secretly screaming 'awesome' in his heart, who is this Lu Junshi? How can you see His Majesty's deployment so thoroughly? But seeing that Xu Chu is so powerful, if he deliberately says this and wants to harm His Majesty, what should he do?
So, Guan Yu stood up and said, "Brother Xu, although you helped Guan before, Guan has no reason to suspect you, but it is a matter of Your Majesty's safety, Guan has to leave Brother Xu here for the time being, and then send someone to ask Your Majesty!" ”
When Xu Chu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and finally laughed and said, "A certain family is leaving, can you stop it?" ”
"If you can't stop it, you'll know if you try it!" Guan Yu got up and picked up the Qinglong Moon Sword, and he was about to fight Xu Chu for three hundred rounds.
Seeing that Deng Zhi and Luo Yuan looked at each other, but it was impossible for Deng Zhi and Luo Yuan to watch the two of them fight, so Deng Zhi got up and waved at Guan Yu and said, "General Guan, please allow Xu Zhi to ask this Xu Zhuangshi a question first!" ”
Guan Yu paused and said, "Ask!" ”
Deng Zhi looked at Xu Chu, shook again, and said, "Xu Zhuangshi, is it okay?" ”
Xu Chu snorted: "Look at what the question is, if it is a confidential question, a certain family will not answer!" ”
Deng Zhi shook his head and said, "It's not a confidential question, I just want to ask Xu Zhuangshi, what are you looking for Your Majesty?" ”
"It's not a secret?" Xu Chu's face turned sideways, and at the end he said, "That's it!" Since His Majesty can send three people to recover Yufu, he must be trustworthy to three of them, and Xu will not go around the bend with you. Xu followed His Majesty as early as when He returned to the East, but because of some things, he stayed in Hanzhong County with Lu Junshi, so that when His Majesty moved his army north, he would help His Majesty take Hanzhong directly......"
Guan Yu frowned and said, "This, how can Guan believe your words?" ”
"You red-faced guy, how suspicious!" Xu Chu couldn't help glaring, pointed to the jade pendant in his hand and said, "Do you know what this is?" This is His Majesty's personal thing, you red-faced guy has no eyes, you can't see it, and you are embarrassed to doubt Xu, it really makes sense! If you don't believe me, come with me to your majesty!" ”
Guan Yu stroked his long beard, lay on the silkworm eyebrows, and nodded: "Guan Mou has this intention!" ”
Deng Zhi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Guan Yu with a serious face, and secretly wondered in his heart: Could it be that this red-faced guy doesn't want to stay in Yufu at all, but wants to find an excuse to return to His Majesty? This...... This is too child's play!
Without waiting for Deng Zhi to come back to his senses, Guan Yu said: "Master Deng, General Luo, this place will be guarded by the two of you!" The soldiers and horses under Guan Mou's command also stayed behind to help the two, and Guan Mou only took thirty personal guards and left with this Xu Zhuangshi......"
"General Guan, you ...... You can't do that! Deng Zhi smiled bitterly, "Yufu is an important place, the geographical location is very important, it is the important place where Jingzhou enters the throat from the river to Shu, and it is in need of a cautious and brave general like a general, how can he be so lightly separated?" ”
Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said with a serious face: "Master Deng is wrong!" With the ability of the military division and General Luo, it is easy to defend this fish recovery. Moreover, in Guan Mou's opinion, His Majesty's safety is really insignificant compared to this fish recovery! How can Guan lose a big one because of a small one? ”
Deng Zhi was confused, and he couldn't understand what Guan Yu's real thoughts were, so he could only watch Guan Yu and Xu Chu leave.
Luo Yuan looked at Deng Zhi who was smiling bitterly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Strategist, then I'll wait for the next, what should I do?" ”
Deng Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "This General Guan is too irresponsible!" But even if there is no General Guan, we have to take care of this place for Your Majesty, Your Majesty trusts us, give me the opportunity, and we can't help but grasp it. General Luo, defend this place, and when the general who guards this place comes, it will be a great achievement! ”
"What about the noble families?"
"Kill!" Deng Zhi's eyes showed a hint of anger, and said, "What Your Majesty wants to do but can't do, we will do it for him!" I believe Your Majesty will see our loyalty! What's more, this kind of military important place, without the existence of a prestigious family, can be reassuring! ”
"Whoa!"
