Chapter 44: Veteran Xu Rong

The great battle between Zhang Xiu and Huang Zhong hindered the stagnation of the army.

Because Lu Bu wanted to arrive in Xingyang as soon as possible to arrange a trip to Yangzhou, he urged the army to march quickly along the way, but he didn't expect that it had only been half a day, but the team suddenly stopped marching, and immediately raised his whip and asked: "Why are the troops in front stagnating, and they are coming at a fast speed left and right."

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately rode their horses and galloped away, and after a while, they hit their horses and returned, turned over and got off the saddle and reported: "Lord Qiqi, there is a yellow-faced man and General Zhang Xiu fighting in front, so he blocked the pace of the troops' march. ”

"Yellow-faced man?"

Lu Bu muttered and asked the soldier, "How is the battle?" ”

"I've been fighting with General Zhang Xiu for more than 20 rounds, but looking at General Zhang Xiu's appearance, he will be defeated after more than ten rounds."

Lu Bu was stunned, can he defeat Zhang Xiu in more than thirty rounds? The embroidered marksmanship is uncanny and unpredictable, and it is amazing that an ordinary military general can walk dozens of rounds under his gun, and those who can defeat him within more than 30 rounds must be like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Lu Bu hurriedly urged the horse to come out, looked back and said: "The one who can defeat Bojin within thirty rounds must be a tiger general, and you will go with a certain person to have a look." ”

Dozens of horsemen came out of the crowd, and surrounded by Yan Li, Cao Xing and others, Lu Bu went straight to the place where Huang Zhong and Zhang Xiu were fighting in front.

After a while, the two generals who forgot to fight entered everyone's field of vision, only to see the two of them coming and going, fighting in a hearty manner, and then I saw the big man waving a knife and slashing towards Zhang Xiu. Seeing this, Zhang Xiu hurriedly used a gun to block it, but was kicked to the ground by the big man.

When Lu Bu saw this, he thought to himself: "This big man's martial arts are quite good, seeing his sharp sword skills and steady pace, he is a rare warrior, but such a powerful character, why don't you have an impression?" It was a character who appeared after his own death. ”

At that moment, Lu Bu raised his whip and urged the horse to drive towards Zhang Xiu and the others.

When the trap camp who served as the striker saw Lu Bu coming, they all knelt down on one knee towards Lu Bu, and shouted in their mouths: "Lord", and Zhang Xiu was no exception.

Lu Bu urged the horse to come to the two of them, then turned over and dismounted, Zhang Xiu immediately got up, hung the spear on the saddle, and said loudly: "Congratulations to the lord, we have another tiger general in the state army today, but this yellow-faced man's kung fu is very good."

Huang Zhong knelt down on one knee at the same time and bowed to Lu Bu: "Commoner Huang Zhong, the word Hansheng, heard that General Lu Bu went to Xingyang to garrison, so he came to join the army before, and hoped that General Lu would take him in, and he must want to report with all his might." ”

Lu Bu laughed heartily, took a step forward, and helped Huang Zhong up from the ground: "Hansheng's martial arts, this general has seen it, with a strong general like Hansheng joining, my state army can be said to be like a tiger with wings." Now this general has given you the post of general, and I will obey the dispatch left and right, and when he has made great achievements, he will be rewarded. ”

Hearing that Lu Bu rewarded himself with the title of a general, Huang Zhong was slightly surprised, he thought that Lu Bu would make himself a lieutenant at most, but he didn't expect that this Lu Bu was really as talented as Mr. Jia, and directly gave himself a general, so he was overjoyed at the moment, and knelt down again to thank him.

After getting Huang Zhong's submission, Lu Bu was in a good mood, and pulled Huang Zhong for a long time to greet him, and when Lu Bu heard that Huang Zhong was recommended by Jia Xu, he was grateful to Jia Xu in his heart.

Huang Zhong did not tell Lu Bu about Jia Xu's injury, which was also ordered by Jia Xu before leaving. just said that Jia Xu had returned to the Xiliang camp and asked Lu Bu to be careful.

After chatting with Huang Zhong for a while, Lu Bu ordered the army to continue to move forward.

On the official road, a day can march hundreds of miles, the sun rises, the dark is overnight, a day later, the state army rushed to Xingyang.

Lu Bu ordered the three armies to camp outside Xingyang City to rest, and he took Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong and hundreds of other followers to Xingyang County, preparing to visit Xu Rong, the Taishou of Xingyang.

Xu Rong is no stranger to Lu Bu, because Xu Rong's record in the previous life is enough to be jaw-dropping, he not only defeated the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian repeatedly, Cao Cao also almost died in Bianshui at his hands, and finally Dong Zhuo was ambushed, Xu Rong was pardoned, and Hu Zhen was sent by Wang Yun to fight with Li Dao Guo Yan, and finally died in the chaos, which is really sad and lamentable.

Xu Rong was originally in Luoyang, when Lu Bu took refuge in Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo ordered Xu Rong to garrison Xingyang, Xu Rong was Dong Zhuo's general, heard that Lu Bu was going to garrison Xingyang, and immediately led the city's leading figures out of the city to greet him.

After greetings, Lu Bu praised: "The old general is just the old man who is strong, quite like the king of Xinping back then."

As soon as Lu Bu came up, he compared Xu Rong with Lian Po, Xu Rong suddenly felt that there was light on his face, and his old face with a wrinkled face was also slightly red, who was Lian Po, that was the person who was called the "Four Famous Generals of the Warring States" with Bai Qi, Wang Jian and Li Mu, Lu Bu actually compared himself with him in front of so many people, how could this not make Xu Rong happy.

Xu Rong wiped a handful of gray beards, and said modestly: "Feng Xian has won the award, now Feng Xian can be said to be on a steady scale, Xiangguo not only let Feng Xian be Henan Yin, but also served as the captain of Si Li, and now the old man also wants to respect Feng Xian as an adult." ”

Lu Bu hurriedly waved his hand: "The old general has been galloping on the battlefield for decades, how dare Feng Xian let the old general call a certain adult, and the general will torture me,"

And Xu Rong didn't rely on the old and sell the old, but just said: "Fengxian is Henan Yin, Xingyang is under his rule, as Xingyang Taishou, how can I not respect the principle of the first." ”

Lu Bu also knew that he couldn't resist this old man, so he nodded at the moment and acquiesced.

After another greeting, Xu Rong said with a smile: "General Lu, the old man has prepared a banquet in the city to catch the wind and wash the dust for the general."

After hearing this, Lu Bu hugged his fist at Xu Rong and said, "So, thank you to the old general."

So, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong and others entered Xingyang City under the leadership of Xu Rong.

Arriving at Xu Rong's mansion, Xu Rong ordered his servants to prepare a sumptuous banquet to entertain Lu Bu and his party, and also called the officials in Xingyang City, as well as the Zheng family, the largest family in Xingyang City, to accompany him, Xu Rong didn't really care if anyone from the Zheng family came, he did it just to show respect for their Zheng family.

However, this time the Zheng family surprised him a little, and when the feast was halfway through, the servant stepped forward to tell Xu Rong that the Zheng family's people were coming.

ps: Some readers asked, why did a Huang Zhong suddenly appear ==, I don't know in that book I saw that Huang Zhong was recruited by He Jin to serve in Luoyang when He Jin was in power, so he brought a pen and let Lu Bu accept it, so as not to meet him when he fought Jingzhou in the future. But I'm still very grateful for the questions raised by readers.,Thank you.,The day after tomorrow, I'm so worried.。
