After this day, Xu Zhen almost held down in the barracks, practicing day and night with Dian Wei, and rushing to forge the blade.

In addition to the stirrups, the craftsmen were ordered to cast more than four meters long, as well as the two-handed halberd, with a hook and sickle on the head of the halberd, which was actually similar to the style of Fang Tian's painted halberd.

In addition, there are short bows and arrows for leopard riding exercises.

It took ten days just to prepare the armament.

He patrolled the camp day and night, improved military discipline, and sent tigers and leopards to constantly enter the territory of Yuzhou to inquire about the military situation, and gradually formed a habit of not giving up day and night.

Every day when the shift is changed, Xu Zhen will go to the martial arts arena to personally lead the sergeants to practice the martial arts in the army with Dian Wei, so as to improve their strength and make the army's morale soar.

At noon, he studied armaments with Pu Feng and other henchmen and craftsmen, waiting for the arrival of spring.

And Xi Zhicai and Guo Fengxiao.

That day, he drank for six hours, after which Guo Jia rested for three days.

Xi Zhicai rested for ten days, during which he was slightly drunk and depressed whenever he discussed major matters.

In this way, the year is over.

Xu Zhen immediately went to Chenliu, just as the ice and snow melted, and the road was no longer muddy and difficult to walk, so he immediately led the troops with Cao Chun to move forward, and gradually leveled the thieves according to the previous investigation.

Directly pointed to Runan, and took the lead in solving the remnants of the soldiers and horses left by Yuan Shu at the beginning.

Among the Yellow Turban thieves that year, Ge Pi Yellow Turban occupied it, and then disappeared as a thief, and the first place to launch was Runan, and the remaining thieves of Yuan Shu were not recruited, so I am afraid that they have already become thieves here.

Moreover, if Xu Zhen remembers correctly, in the area of Runan, there is a fierce man comparable to Dian Wei.

……

Another place.

Dayang County, Hedong, people's homes.

The Son of Heaven resides here.

Falling so far made him feel daunted, and he often shivered when he thought about it along the way.

Because in the middle of this year, Li Guo and the others began to be in the inner capital, and Li Dao's subordinate Yang Feng conspired to assassinate Li Dao, but it was leaked, so he led his troops to flee, which made Li Dao gradually decline.

So the Son of Heaven knew that Chang'an could not stay for a long time, so he consulted with Zhuqing, and begged many times to let him return to the east.

After Guo and Li made peace, Li Wei withdrew from Chang'an.

Later, Guo Yan led the army on the side, Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and others guarded, Zhang Ji came to the rescue, sent grain and grass, so that the hundred officers and soldiers could be full, so that Li Dao could be forced away, led the ministers to escape from Chang'an, and began the journey to the east.

After arriving at Baling.

Emperor Xian worshiped Zhang Ji as a hussar general, returned to Shaanxi to garrison, at this time, an old adviser who had assisted Niu Fu and was later relied on by Li Dao Guo Yan quietly disappeared from everyone's sight and followed Zhang Ji to go......

Prior to this, most of the generals and princes of Chang'an had his figure, but no one could really think of his role.

This person has earned the job of hussar for Zhang Ji, made great contributions to the Son of Heaven, and won Zhang Ji's respect, and even entrusted his son and nephew to him.

He was promoted to Guo Yan as the general of the chariot cavalry, Yang Ding as the general of the post, Yang Feng as the general of Xingyi, and Dong Cheng, a former subordinate of Niu Fu, as the general of Anji.

Guo Yan and others escorted Emperor Xian together, Guo Yan wanted Emperor Xian to go to Gaoling, and the ministers thought that they should go to Hongnong, so they held a meeting to discuss, but they still couldn't decide.

Since then, the major generals have continued to fight with each other, intriguing with each other, and in August Guo Yan regretted it and wanted to coerce the Son of Heaven to return to the west, but it was too late, and the conspiracy was exposed by Yang Feng and others, so he could only flee.

At this time, Li Dao Guo Yan regretted letting go of the Son of Heaven very much, and he completely believed someone's nonsense.

In December, the two sides fought in Hongnong Dongjian. Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and others were defeated, and there were no hundreds of officers and soldiers killed and wounded. All the female dependents were left behind, and all kinds of utensils of the royal family, such as runes, deeds, and codes, and books, were all lost.

After fleeing to Dayang County to settle down, he set off tomorrow to follow Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang and set the capital Anyi.

In this way, he can really escape from the hands of Li Dao Guo Yan, and he no longer has to be afraid of being chased by tigers and wolves.

But the generals around him, the Son of Heaven still feels that no one can believe it.

"I feel like an artifact, chasing and controlling for the general, and I want to be famous......"

Under the candlelight, although the sixteen-year-old emperor Xian was childish, he was already old.

He bent his waist and couldn't stand straight, but his shoulders felt extremely heavy.

"At this age, there are people in the world who are worse than me."

Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, sighed deeply, at this time, a person came in outside the door, for Zhang Yangye, he came in alone, his figure was powerful, and he could almost block the light.

It made Liu Xie's heart tremble.

"Son of heaven, let's set off overnight, so as not to have too many dreams at night."

"Aiqing," Liu Xie hurriedly asked, "I sent a letter before, and asked the car to ride to greet me, but now there is a reply?" ”

The chariot he said was Yuan Shao, the chariot general who was sealed by the edict of the Son of Heaven.

That is, now in Jizhou, the Jizhou pastor who is at war with Gongsun Zhan, that edict may not be so easy to deliver.

"Your Majesty," Zhang Yang patiently changed his title again, his tone gradually slowed down, and said: "The Son of Heaven and the Supreme, if you have an invitation, how can you not save it, Yuan Cheqi will naturally come, but he is already entangled in war, so he should stabilize the situation." ”

"Your Majesty set off overnight, and only then can you go to Anyi to reassure the princes, and then come to welcome you later."

"Moreover, Your Majesty can only go to the old capital of Luoyang first, so that he can order people to repair the old palace, and only then can he restore the Ming of the Han Dynasty in the future."

Liu Xie was slightly stunned, thinking that it made sense, once he arrived at the old capital of Luoyang, he could let the general be stationed around, and then gradually find a stable body.

"In addition to Yuan Shao, but you still have to send an edict to invite the rest of the princes to come and welcome you?"

Liu Xie immediately asked, but Zhang Yang remained silent and only lowered his head to ask.

In this way, Liu Xie didn't dare to ask more, and Yuan Shao didn't come to greet him at the first time, in fact, Liu Xie could probably guess why in his heart.

However, except for Yuan Shao, he remembered that the princes were outside, and Cao Cao had become famous within a year, what would happen if he came?

……

In spring, when the snow and ice melt.

In a small city in Runan, there are many villagers gathered inside.

The city gate is not very high, but fortunately there is a high slope, so that the thieves outside cannot be approached.

At this moment, the thieves surrounded the city.

There are several ways out of the city, there are thieves and robbers in the distance, and once the people in the city come out, they will be intercepted and killed.

It was they who gathered in the city to resist the Yellow Turbans of Gepi.

This Yellow Turban remnants have long been bandits, in Runan for many years, Yuan Shu soldiers and horses did not dare to make a time here, and now Yuan Shu abandoned the soldiers and horses to gather people, as well as loot grain.

For the people in the city and the villagers, fortunately, although these thieves were brutal, they did not have siege equipment, and the heroes of the Xu clan who shocked Huairu were in the city.

It invisibly frightened these thieves and made them dare not attack.

Siege for a winter, at this time the beginning of spring came to attack again.

In order to conquer this city, it is necessary to plough the oxen in hand, so that in the future, it can be settled, and the land is cultivated to continue the grain, otherwise it will be difficult to continue.

Several thieves leaders looked vigilantly into the city.

But there was not a word in the city.

"Xu Chu won't lie to us, right?"

One of them said in a deep voice.

"Probably not, he is also a local hero, a promise, and he said that he will come when he uses ploughing cattle to exchange for food."

"There is no food in the city, and after a winter, almost all of them have been eaten, and he has gathered thousands of people to resist us, and he has protected tens of thousands of people, and there is absolutely not enough to eat."

"Take the ploughing cow and leave, don't fight to the death with Xu Chu!"

"Yes, wait, if not, you will attack and scare."

These thieves had already discussed that as long as they took the ploughing oxen, they would leave immediately and never stay longer, anyway, they could go to live in other cities and use the seeds they had obtained to cultivate the land for a year.

The food is good for next year's winter.

These methods are still what the deserters who joined later thought, if they were originally thieves, they only knew how to continue to rob the people, but they also understood that it was never a good way to continue robbing.

It will only make the people in the territory more united to fight against thieves, and the most important thing is that Xu Chu is the backbone.

They also tried to fight, but Xu Chu could defeat them every time he fought, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have many people under his command and didn't have all the armaments, I am afraid he would have been wiped out long ago.

Therefore, now the leaders of these thieves only need to plough the cattle and turn to other places to find another way.

During the discussion, the gates of the city were opened, and a strong man walked out, with long hair tied back his head, a thick beard, and a cold and stern face.

The shoulders are extremely magnificent, and at first glance they give people a sense of greatness, and after striding out, they ordered the ploughing cattle to be sent out of the city, and they stood on the high slopes, waiting in silence.

This person is Xu Chu, the word Zhongkang.

He should have been the leader of all his peers in the city behind him, and the elders, except for his brother Xu Ding, would not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.

He stood alone in the city pass, like an impassable mountain, and even took the breath away of some thieves below.

This kind of momentum is made by killing people.

In the city, there were villagers who sent ploughing cattle to the city, and the leader of the thieves looked left and right a few times, and also sent people to push the grain and grass, a total of ten carts of grain and grass, about 300 stone rice grain, and sent it into the city.

And in exchange for ten ploughing oxen.

After the thief put down the rice grain, he secretly glanced at Xu Chu in front of the city gate not far away.

Hurriedly turned around and left.

At the same time, the villagers in the city were also dozens of meters away, loosening the rope of the ploughing ox, patting and whispering goodbye, looking quite reluctant.

For peasant families, the status of ploughing cattle is extremely high, a source of income, and some families even have to raise ploughing cattle to repay their spring ploughing and hard work.

It is to give it to the thief, of course, it will be reluctant.

Seeing those townsmen leaving, the thieves settled down a little, so it seemed that Xu Zhongkang was not embarrassed, so he sent dozens of people to collect them.

They've just moved.

Dian Wei, who was standing on the high slope, suddenly chuckled.

Then a whistle sounded from inside the city, and several fellows let go of their voices and shouted loudly.

I don't know what the shouting is, but when the ploughing cattle heard it, they rioted directly.

Moo let out a few muffled howls, then ran backwards.

"Not good! Fooled! ”

The Ge Pi thief Kou was shocked, and the people led by him immediately rushed forward, wanting to catch up.

But the bull returned to the mountain very quickly, as if missing his family, and struggled to go to the mountain, and these ploughing cattle who got along day and night could also have some spirituality.

It was too late for the war horse to chase.

And at this time, there were suddenly many villagers in the city, and a large number of strong men with blades or clubs poured out of the city gates, and even the people with hoes lined up behind them.

The thief was furious, and the whole moved forward to press on, and for a while the sword was tense.

At this time, there happened to be an old ploughing ox, and it seemed to be a little weak halfway up the slope, and gradually fell down, as if it was about to fall.

I just grabbed the tail of the ploughing ox with one hand.

The next moment, an uproar appeared.

He actually pulled the ploughing ox up and dragged it along, and the ploughing ox howled loudly in pain, but soon Xu Chu changed to the leash and turned his head.

After a while, Xu Chu carried the rope over his shoulders, and his muscles applauded, although the edges and corners were not as obvious as Dian Wei, his arms were bigger than ordinary people, and his strength was unknown.

The ploughing ox was dragged a few steps, put it back to its senses, and with Xu Chu's strength, he ran up the high slope quickly, and then returned to the city.

At this moment, the thief did not dare to enter an inch, and was stunned and in an uproar! They were all shocked by Xu Chu's strength, he was able to drag the ploughing ox forward!

"Is there really such a fierce person in the world?!"

"Oh no, now we don't even have ploughing cattle!"

"I gave hundreds of stones of grain for nothing, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it back!!"

"Xu Chu!! You cunning scoundrel! ”

"Hahaha!!"

On the high slope, Xu Chu laughed loudly, as if he was relieved, he directly threw off the collapsed inner and outer clothes, revealing his chest and body hair, and sneered with his hands open: "You are all thieves, what if I cheat you!" ”

"If you get this food, you can keep it for seven more days!"

"Under my promise, there is no one who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if you are brave, you will attack!!"

Xu Chu led the battle loudly, and at the same time, someone behind him handed a heavy gun, Xu Chu held it with one hand, stood on the ground, his waist was straight, and he shouted angrily, "Come!" ”

The thieves below looked at each other, and the anger in their hearts continued to ignite, but they were extinguished by Xu Chu.

Looking at it from afar, I can't wait for someone to take Xu Chu's head immediately, so that the brothers can rush to the city to slaughter and loot, grab a good time, and vent their anger!

"Fight with him!"

"We are not angry with this!"

"Kill!!"

After a while, they didn't know that at this moment, in the distant forest, several people were hiding in the mountains and forests, and this scene could be seen from afar.

Xu Zhen's soldiers and horses were still far away, but he, Dian Wei and Cao Chun had already touched it with great boldness.

However, these Ge Pi Yellow Turbans, they have already investigated for many days, and today's siege of the city has already received news early in the morning, so they came to see.

Yuzhou thieves, this group of Gepi thieves has been entrenched for a long time, and if they are defeated, the rest can be subdued as soon as possible.

Xu Zhen smiled at this moment: "Awei, can you drag the tail of the ox to climb the slope?" ”

Dian Wei grinned, and immediately snorted coldly, "Hey, I can pull both ends." ”

"That kid can at least pull two ends."

Dian Wei added.

"Really?"

Xu Zhen glanced at him with slanted eyes.

I found that Dian Wei's expression was very appreciative.

"You look at his arms carefully, you are looking at me," Dian Wei looked at with open eyes, although he didn't see it carefully, but he could roughly see the outline, "this kind of thick arm is actually no worse than mine." ”

"It's because I do a lot of rough work, but that man should have been training his blades day and night, and his legs are strong, and I'm afraid he often practices equestrianism."

"Well," Xu Zhen nodded thoughtfully, it is worthy of you, it is really accurate.

However, remembering that he had just won Dian Wei a month ago, he leaned back slightly and said with a smile: "What is it about dragging the ploughing cow upside down, isn't that just a hand?" ”

Dian Wei pursed his lips and didn't argue with Xu Zhen, after all, as soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that he wanted to tease him again.

But unexpectedly, Cao Chun on the left side didn't say a word, and was slightly half a step away from Xu Zhen.

I don't have hands, okay.

Why do you want to hurt me by mistake!

"Son and brother, give the order to send troops, and today I just wiped out this gang of Gepi Yellow Turbans!"
