Li Yan is much easier to recruit than he imagined, after recruiting him, his target is on Xu Chu, or the entire Xu clan, maybe Xu Chu himself is not a great general, but as a general, his ability is still not to be underestimated; Song County is not far from Qian County, it only takes about five hours to ride a horse, Li Kai came to Qian County with three hundred guards and Ma Mengqi and Li Fangzheng, and walked in Qian County for a long time, Li Kai suddenly thought that he did not know the address of the Xu clan; "This old man! Do you know where Xu Chu's family lives in this county? Li Kai politely stopped an old man and asked, Qian County has its own armed forces, so Li did not bring troops in, only brought Ma Chao in, so as not to cause friction; The old man knew that he was not an ordinary person when he looked at his clothes, and said with a smile: "The people of the Xu clan dare to ask this lord two or three miles west of the city, but they want to find trouble with them?" ”

"Oh? Why? Li Kai was stunned for a moment and asked, the old man sighed and said: "There are about 1,000 people in the Xu clan, most of them are strong men who are eight feet long, they are brave and ruthless, and they often quarrel with the people in the county, and they fight hard, and the county commander drove them out in a fit of anger, did they really provoke you?" ”

"Not really! Just come and see them! Li Kai smiled, and the old man said, "That's good!" That's good! Although the Xu clan is brave and ruthless, they have also done a lot of glorious things, Ge Po thieves often come to attack, if it weren't for them, how could we live and work in peace and contentment? ”

"Thank you, brother! A small gift is not a tribute! Li Kai took out the usual copper coin from his sleeve and stuffed it into the old man's hand, and did not wait for him to excuse himself and stepped on the horse: "Chao'er!" Let's go! ”

The Xu clan is living a very hard life, how can this clan prosper with only some land left by their ancestors? Mr. Xu, the father of the contemporary head of the family, Xu Chu, has been looking forward to it for many years, and finally has hope!

The first is timing, the timing is very good now, the Son of Heaven is dead, and the troubled times are open, and second, the Xu clan has finally produced a person who can rule everyone, that is, his son Xu Chu! With these two points, plus so many warriors in the family who are good at fighting, the Xu clan can become officials! And not the people of now!

Next to the green mountains and green waters, Mrs. Xu sat on the boulder on the riverbed, stroked her beard, grabbed a dozen stones in her hands, and shouted: "Xu Da Heizi!" You're distracted! If you dare to wander again, I'll blow your head off! ”

"Smack!" , There was a crisp sound, and a big black man in the military formation not far away covered his head and bared his teeth and shouted in pain, and Old Lady Xu roared angrily: "In the future, you will go to the battlefield!" You're no longer dealing with a thief like the Slope thief! You're going to be the best of the best! Just your virtue? Waiting to die? ”

Old lady Xu has a very high prestige, no one dares to make a sound, even the most majestic person at the front of the team sees him like a mouse seeing a cat, if you compare skills, the three old lady Xu are not necessarily his opponents, but who calls old lady Xu his father!

There was a crisp sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Xu Chu suddenly became vigilant, and a big knife with nine rings clenched his hand and made a crisp sound: "Form a formation-!" With a loud shout, the three hundred strong men of the Xu clan formed a conical formation; In the distance, Li Kai looked at these big men with an average height of eight feet, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhengfang! What do you think of these people? ”

Li Yan hugged his fists and said: "Their training has no practical effect, and it is a waste of effort, but as long as these people are trained a little, they will be a first-class elite army!" Very nice pawn blank! ”

"Looks like they're not welcoming us! Brother Zhengfang is tired of you guarding the soldiers and horses here, I want to go over and talk to them carefully", Li Kai hit the horse over, Ma Chao followed silently behind him, and a pair of eyes looked at the majestic Xu Chu excitedly, this is a strong opponent!

Xu Chu himself is always so outstanding, his appearance is very resolute, of course, this is not where he is outstanding, what is outstanding is his physique! The body is more than eight feet long, and the waist circumference is half more than that of ordinary people, and the muscles on the body are knotted like old tree roots, which is very terrifying! It's hard to imagine the power involved!

"Who's coming? Why did you lead troops to invade my Xu Clan's territory? Xu Chu stepped forward with a big knife and waved a hunting sound, but Li didn't look at him at all, why? Because although the person he wants to recruit is Xu Chu, it is the old man who can decide that Xu Chu will stay!

Li Kai stepped forward and said with a smile: "Li Kai and Li Xiaoxian under the account of Duke Yuan are hereby visiting!" Dare to ask the other side is the head of the Xu family? ”

Old lady Xu's eyes flashed, Yuan Shu He Xu people have also heard of it, the fourth third duke, Nanyang Taishou heard that they were going to enter Yuzhou, and the momentum was so big, and he was also one of the few princes with shining points among the princes discussing Dong, one of the princes with the most strength and potential!

"It's a certain house!" , Old Lady Xu hugged her fists and greeted her: "I don't know why Mr. Li came?" ”

"I don't want to tell you the truth, I just want to show you a clear way!" , Li Kai said with a smile: "Old man Xu! What about the answer? ”

Old lady Xu was noncommittal, and pointed to the boulder beside him: "The mountain village and wild land can't entertain Mr. well!" Don't be surprised, please take a seat! Old lady Xu is also in her fifties and goes straight to sixty, her body is still very tough, and her voice is like a bell; Li Mouren was not picky and sat down, and said: "I won't say any lies, our sincerity is still enough!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have come myself! The Son of Heaven is dead, and the Great Han is dead! It is inevitable that the princes will be divided, and the strength and potential of Yuan Gong are extremely impressive! It's only a matter of time before you become the master of Yuzhou! Old man Xu, what do you see? ”

Old lady Xu was silent, thought for a while, and said, "I don't know what position Mr. Li has under the account of Gong Yuan?" ”

"Well, I guess it's Mr. Staff or something! Responsible for making suggestions, it's not an important position! Li Kai pondered and replied, he does not have an official position, but he is second only to Yuan Shu in Nanyang, and everyone recognizes this; Old lady Xu frowned, and Ma Chao snorted coldly on the side: "Although Mr. has no position, he is full of words!" His words are that Yuan Gong has to think twice and rarely refute them! Don't underestimate our husband! ”

"Hahaha! How so? Old Man Xu rubbed his hands and said, "This Mr. Li, we are all rural people, so we are also calculating, I don't know"

Mrs. Xu is really a smart person, he is old and slippery, it is this reason, he said half and half, which is not too full to make people understand, and put his posture very low, which is particularly important, he estimated that he had calculated several times in a few words!

Li Kai smiled: "This strong man is Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang, right?" I heard that there is a power to pull nine bulls? Looks like a fierce general! It is easy to get a thousand troops, it is difficult to ask for the old man, your worries are superfluous! I won't run so far for an irrelevant person, you must know that there are some troubles in taking over Yuzhou, and I still need to solve it! ”

"That's it! Is that! After thinking about it again and again, Old Lady Xu still couldn't make up her mind, and said tentatively: "Mr. Li, this is a big matter related to the net worth and lives of thousands of people in our entire clan!" It may not be a big deal in your eyes, but here we are really going to die! Can you give us a moment? In this way, it is getting late, and I wonder how about a night's rest here? ”

At night, the old man Xu found Xu Chu, the Xu clan is rich in large warriors, but there are few scheming people, everything needs to be thought of by the old lady Xu himself, he has a headache, so he asked: "Zhongkang!" What do you think of this? ”

"Father is in charge!" , Xu Chumu replied, Old Man Xu sighed: "I'm old, the Xu clan will need you to be the master in the future, both outside and inside, how can you not have any ideas at all?" ”

Xu Chu still had a stunned expression, and said for a while: "Li Xiaoxian, I have heard of his name, it is said that his name has been circulating in the upper echelons of Yuzhou, known as a high eight buckets, astronomy, geography, and the art of war!"

Since he was able to come here in person, it shows that their sincerity is enough! At least he's sincere! In any case, our roots are in Yuzhou, and Yuzhou is about to become Yuan Gong's territory, if we don't follow, there will be a big disaster! ”

"You kid can think things for himself! Then do as you say! Old lady Xu smiled with relief and asked: "When you go outside, you have to talk less and do more, and the disaster will come from the mouth!" When it's time to work hard, you must work hard, and never be greedy for life and afraid of death! Loyalty! These two words must be kept in mind! ”

"Yes! Got it! Xu Chu should admit it; Old Lady Xu thought for a while and said, "The most important thing is to follow smart people!" Mr. Li is a very powerful person, and his personal presence here shows that he has a certain affection for us, and you will not suffer under his hands! The Xu clan can't farm anymore! Unpromising! I want to be an official! Heroes emerge in troubled times, and heroes are created in the times! Zhongkang! You need to work hard! ”

The next day, in the early morning, Li Kai had just gotten up and was taking a walk in the big courtyard of the Xu clan, when the old lady Xu came and replied solemnly: "Mr. Li! I thought about it for a long time! You are right, our Xu family is willing to work for Yuan Gong! ”

"So good! That's great! Li Kai laughed: "Old man Xu, sooner or later, you will be extremely proud of your decision!" ”

"Zhong**'s surname is Mu Ne! The Xu clan is also full of stuffy gourds! I hope Mr. Li will take care of him in the future! In the end, it's the old rivers and lakes!

Li Kai smiled: "Definitely! Certain! Since I took them out, I won't let them suffer! Now that you've made your decision, I'll take them away! There are really a lot of big and small things in Yuzhou, and I can't delay it for too long."
