Seeing that Wei Xuan did not plan to garrison troops in Peiguo, Huang Wan was very happy, and promised to send people directly to Yingchuan with the money and grain he promised. Wei Xuan naturally thanked the state assassin again and again, and said that he had been out long enough and would leave Peiguo as soon as possible.

The group said goodbye to Huang Wan and went straight to Xujia Village, he knew that Xu Chu is a local wealthy family is different from Dian Wei and Zhou Cang and others, at this time the Han Dynasty is still a unified regime, although there are thieves everywhere, but Wei Xuan is neither a general who led the troops to suppress the Yellow Turban, nor is he a Taishou and assassin on the pastoral side, and it is very difficult to recruit a wealthy family head like Xu Chu with the identity of a school captain.

When Xu Chu heard that the servants at home came to report that there was a team of seven or eight hundred people coming towards Xujia Village, he was also shocked. He is the soul of the Xu family, the Xu family has more than 1,000 private soldiers, once in the Yellow Turban Rebellion of the year, there were thieves entrenched nearby, wanted to loot Xujia Village but was defended by Xu Chu with people, and was not attacked by the thieves The village, but the thieves refused to leave, resulting in a lack of food in the village, so Xu Chu proposed to exchange the cattle in the village for food with the bandits, and the thieves also agreed,??????????????? When the two sides finished exchanging, one of the ploughing cattle ran back, the thieves saw the big hurry, Xu Chu was afraid that the thieves would misunderstand, so he dragged Geng Niude's tail and pulled the ploughing ox backwards and retreated more than a thousand steps to the thieves, the thieves were startled when they saw this, where did they dare to twist, and quickly evacuated with men and horses, and the thieves stayed away from Xu Aji Village. The name of Xu Chu has also been famous in the county since then.

But Xu Chu himself knew that there could be seven or eight hundred people, and there were more than two hundred fully armed cavalry, which was not something that Xujia Village could deal with today.

However, worried about it, Xu Chu quickly gathered five or six hundred young people in the village to wait outside the door.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Wei Xuan did not directly ask Dian Wei, Du Peng and others to come forward to call the battle, but asked Wang Qiang to go to say hello.

After Wei Xuan's order, Wang Qiang took a few entourages to ride to the gate of Xujia Village, and smiled at a group of young men who were eyeing him: "My captain is the second son of Hedong Wei Taishi, today's captain of the thief, was ordered to recruit troops and suppress bandits in Yuzhou. Please also come out and speak. ”

Xu Chu heard that these people did not look like thieves, especially the cavalry in front of them were fully armed, so swaggering through the city should only be officers and soldiers, and he was a little embarrassed to hear that the other party was admiring him, he had heard of the Hedong Wei family, and he couldn't tell the difference between the officials in the DPRK and China, but he still understood the identity of the Taishi.

Xu Chu then walked out of the crowd with a knife, looked at Wang Qiang, hugged his fists and said: "Chu is a rural horseman, you are worried about your captain, we have nothing to entertain the captain in the poor countryside of Xujia Village, and I ask the captain to forgive me." ”

Wei Xuan looked at Du Peng, and then at Dian Wei, he thought that Xu Chu was not so good at abduction, but this guy couldn't help but make a mistake when he seemed to be rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Dian Wei's eyes widened and he clenched his fists at Wei Xuan and asked, "Let Zhou Cang bring some people with me, I will go directly into the village, capture people directly, and see what he says." ”

Wei Xuanxin said that Dian Wei is still a chivalrous temper, Xu Chu is living well at home, we disturbed others, and it is reasonable that people are reluctant to meet, but since he came, he didn't want to leave, so he rode the snow and left the team to the place where Wang Qiang was standing, Dian Wei, Zhou Cang and Du Peng hurriedly patted their horses to catch up.

Wei Xuan swept around the crowd opposite, and quickly found the target, it was a strong man in his early thirties, about seven feet eight inches tall, and his waist circumference was estimated to be seven feet! Wei Xuan then jumped off the horse and bowed to the man: "Wei Xuan in Xiahedong, but Xu Jun in person?"

When Wei Xuan came out of the back team, Xu Chu saw the tall snow-stepping black horse, and then looked at Wei Xuan who came down from the horseback in black clothes, and when Wei Xuan opened his mouth, he was sure that this person might be the second son of the Wei family, the current school captain, what he didn't expect was that Wei Xuan didn't have the slightest bureaucratic style, and politely made Xu Chu a little unaccustomed, so he also responded with a fist: "Xu Chu is under him." ”

When Wei Xuan heard this, sure enough, this person was Xu Chu, and looked at the vigilant villagers around Xu Chu and said with a smile: "We are Han officers and soldiers, and we are ordered to suppress bandits in Yuzhou." When Xuan heard about the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xu Jun had led more than 1,000 villagers to repel thousands of thieves many times, why did he see our officers and soldiers today??????????????? And if you are timid, don't you plan to do your best to be a landlord and ask me to wait in and sit down? ”

Xu Chuxin said that those behind you are tigers and wolves, how dare I let them enter the village easily, but when I saw that Wei Xuan had already got off the horse and strode towards them, he had to smile awkwardly: "The village is simple, please don't laugh at the captain." ”

Wei Xuan saw Xu Chu loosen his mouth, so he whispered to Wang Qiang, and soon Wang Qiang ran back, Du Peng and Pei Yuanshao came to the front of their respective teams, so that the whole team stayed in place, Dian Wei and Zhou Cang jumped off the horse and followed closely behind Wei Xuan.

Seeing that Wei Xuan only brought two entourages, Xu Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and gestured to the young man behind him, and then the crowd parted ways, Xu Chu smiled and said to Wei Xuan: "The captain is here, my township is shining, please inside." ”

Wei Xuan knew that although this Xu Chu was fierce, most of the people in this Xu family village were a family, and they were also considered strong in the local area, so of course they would not dare to do anything to a court official like ordinary thieves, so he swaggered into the village with Dian Wei and Zhou Cang.

On the way, he didn't wait for Xu Chu to ask how he recruited Dian Wei, how he escorted Kong Rong, and how he met Zhou Cang and others in Woniu Mountain, and then the conversation changed: "When Xuan was traveling with his master Kang Chenggong to study, he had heard about Xu Jun's deeds, and Jun Neng pulled a bull with his bare hands and retreated more than a thousand steps, so he scared off the thieves entrenched in the local area, and it was widely spread. ”

Xu Chu scratched the back of his head and said: "Captain Falsely praised, Chu was also in a hurry at that time, and he was afraid that those thieves would misunderstand and continue to fight." I didn't expect the captain to hear about some small things. ”

While greeting, Xu Chu asked people to notify the village elders to come, after all, Wei Xuan is a scholar, he is afraid that the etiquette is not in place, but Wei Xuan did not hide the purpose of his trip, and when he came to Xu Chu's house and sat down, he said to Xu Chu: "I don't hide Xu Jun, Xuan's trip in Yuzhou is also to recruit chivalrous guests for the imperial court, these two people around me, one is Chen Liudianwei, and the other is Zhou Cang of Woniu Mountain, they are also famous, Xuan deliberately took people from Yingchuan to visit. Xu Jun is famous in the state and county, when there are thieves everywhere today, I also hope that a hero like Xu Jun can join me to contribute to the safety of the territory. ”

Xu Chu looked embarrassed: "This ...... Thanks to the wrong love of the school captain, it's just Chu ......"

Dian Wei was a little unhappy when he saw him, after Wei Xuan was a famous family, the dignified captain was so polite Corporal Lixian, this Xu Chu looked just a handful of strength, but he was here to push back and go, so his eyes glared and said: "My school captain Corporal Lixian is looking for talents for the imperial court, why don't you know what to do?" ”

Xu Chu was a little unhappy when he heard this, and just wanted to refute it, but someone walked in, it was several old people in the village, they were all surnamed Xu, and they were Xu Chu's relatives and seniors. Seeing this, Xu Chu hurriedly introduced Wei Xuan and the others to the five old men who came in.

Wei Xuan also hurriedly got up from his seat and greeted several old men very modestly, and when the two sides sat down again, Wei Xuan said the purpose of his trip again, several old men, you look at me, I look at you, and finally looked at Xu Chu in unison, obviously Xu Chu's status in the minds of these people is very high.

Seeing Xu Chu blushing??????????????? Without speaking, one of the old men stood up and said with a smile: "The school captain is running around for the people of Yuzhou, and my Xujia Village was supposed to help me, but the population of my village is small, and a few years ago there was a yellow scarf, and many young people in the village were killed by thieves, and now many fields in the village have begun to be barren." If the captain doesn't dislike it, the old man can call the shots and is willing to fund the captain with a few hundred stones of food, what does the captain think? ”

Wei Xuanxin said that your village can gather four or five hundred young people in a moment, which is obviously the result of a large number of people who have nothing to do and often engage in theft, and besides, I only need Xu Chu alone, and you don't want to follow Cao Cao to make trouble in the future. Besides, do I lack your hundreds of stone of grain, if it is known that my Wei Xuan went to a small village and looted hundreds of grains, where will I put my face?

So there was silence in the field, and both sides were waiting for the other party to make the first move, and they saw Zhou Cang suddenly get up from his seat and laugh: "It's a shame that my captain admires Xu Daxia so much, it turns out that the people in Xujia Village are all greedy for life and afraid of death, and are as timid as mice, hahaha......"

Zhou Cang had a black face and a beard, and his image was already rough, laughing so unscrupulously, several old men were very embarrassed on their faces, but Xu Chu couldn't suppress the fire and stood up and stared at Zhou Cang and asked, "What are you talking nonsense?" ”

Zhou Cang pursed his lips and said, "Isn't it?" After the famous family of my school captain, young and noble, it is not a problem to pay homage to the marquis in the future, you are not only timid as a mouse but also short-sighted, if you are ambitious, at this time do not follow my school captain to make contributions when? ”

】

Xu Chu pointed at Zhou Cang with anger on his face and shouted, "Who do you say is as cowardly as a mouse? ”

"Just you, Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang, Xu Daxia! Drag is not timid, afraid of going to the battlefield, at this time with my school captain, in the future, I will not be able to rely on a martial arts to worship the general. It's not that I look down on your Xujia Village, so let's not bully you, we have seven or eight hundred people who came with the captain today, and you will definitely lose, and we will not compete with you in military formations and tactics, and each of them will select three or five people to come out to compete, and you will know how many catties and taels you have, how? Do you dare? ”

Xu Chu laughed angrily: "Why don't you dare? ”
