Cao Ang led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Depart from Luyang County, Nanyang County.

All the way from west to east.

First, it passed through Yingchuan County, followed by the Chen State, which was the first to annex Cao Ang, and then the Liang State, which was small in size and not very populous.

Finally, he entered the county of Peiguo.

All the cities, villages, and even settlements that passed through on the way, those who witnessed the outdated grandeur of the three armies of the Cao family were all convinced.

A regular army of up to 20,000 people.

This can be regarded as an extremely powerful force anywhere in the world, not to mention Yuzhou, which has no leader and is empty inside.

Shuoqi spreads the golden watch, and the cold light shines on the iron coat.

So the soldiers are mighty.

Let the counties and states of Yuzhou, those who were originally unwilling to return to the Cao family, or pretend to be obedient, and then had different ambitions.

They all quietly dismissed their minds.

If that's all there is to it, that's all.

The most important thing is that with the arrival of Cao Ang's army, he defeated Yuan Shu in Luyang County, and Yuan Shu, who was killed, could only lead his troops to flee in a hurry, and even the news that he couldn't take care of the money and food in the city was also spreading rapidly.

It was soon known to everyone in Yuzhou.

……

Who is Yuan Shu?

He is the son-in-law of the Yuan family of the third prince of the fourth world, born in the top famous family in the world, and his protégés are all over the world, and I don't know how many people depend on the Yuan family.

In the minds of all.

Similar to Yuan Shu, a noble son of a noble family, as long as he waved his big hand and raised his arms, countless people went to him one after another.

The world gathers to respond, win food and follow.

There is money, food and people, and even fame and status, what is the difference between such a person in Nanyang County and a tiger roaring in the world?

However, it is such a tiger.

In the hands of the Cao family's father and son, not only did they not take advantage of the slightest, but they were beaten up.

Even the tiger's mouth and big teeth were extracted.

How can you not let everyone be shocked?

This also reflects one point, that is, the Cao family has stronger combat power than Yuan Shu.

The two sides are in terms of comprehensive strength.

The worst is also the same kind of existence.

And now that Yuan Shu has been defeated, there is definitely no way to gain a foothold in the land of Yuzhou, except for Runan County, which is dominated by the Yuan family, the actual controllers of the rest of the counties have actually become Cao Ang and Cao Zixuan.

That in this case.

If you continue to be an enemy of the Cao family, or even hide your antipathy, it is tantamount to provoking a behemoth, and it is likely that you will be crushed into powder in the next second.

That's because I understand this.

The opponents were naturally more frightened, and the supporters were more and more excited, the former was like a mourner, secretly regretting that he should not go against the Cao family, and the latter was overjoyed and excited to defect to a master.

And so it goes.

The army led by Cao Ang went everywhere.

It was unanimously welcomed by the forces of all parties, and the forces of all counties and countries in Yuzhou can be described as unprecedentedly united, and they unanimously welcomed the arrival of the lord of Yuzhou.

Cao Ang rested in the city.

There are always local clan representatives and government officials who come to show their loyalty, many of whom have already been on the list of "rebels".

And for these people's pledges of allegiance.

Cao Ang naturally did not refuse to come.

He led the army to such a circle, and all kinds of propaganda along the way, isn't the purpose of this?

Only the stronger his strength and fame, the more loyal the local local forces are to him.

The stronger the Cao family's control over Yuzhou.

Only here can it be gradually built into an iron bucket country.

……

Just stop and go all the way.

The march of the army can be described as quite slow.

Due to the fact that in the march route of the Great Army, it was necessary to pass through the Liang State, and the Liang State was in the north of Qian County.

Therefore, you must first make a half-circle and turn south to reach your destination smoothly.

The total length of this route itself is more than 800 miles, and with the speed of more than 20,000 troops, it would take nearly a month to rush mechanically every day.

What's more, Cao Ang is not simply in a hurry.

It also takes time to show military prestige and deal with the local forces in the counties that pass through it.

Therefore, when Cao Ang led his troops to arrive fifty miles north of Qian County, it was already a month and a half later, and the time had already reached October of the second year of Chuping.

At this moment, Cao Ang was sitting cross-legged under a big tree.

Leaning back against the trunk of the tree, looking up at the sunlight shining through the shade of the trees.

I can't help but feel a little relaxed.

I didn't think it would be late October in a blink of an eye.

When I'm done here, I'll spend some more time on the road, and when I get home, I'm afraid it's another year.

This will also be the third New Year's Day that I have spent since I came to this era.

I remembered the scene when I set off giant fireworks outside Puyang County at the beginning of this year, and the Queen Mother, Diao Chan and other female dependents were by my side.

Cao Ang felt like yesterday.

At that time, he was still pondering, and after the New Year, he led his troops to the north, took Wei County, and locked Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in Jizhou by the way.

I didn't expect it to pass in a blink of an eye.

These goals have been easily achieved.

Not only that, but five of the six counties in Yuzhou have fallen into their own hands.

The Cao family has expanded into a superpower that spans three states and governs fifteen counties, and can be called the first among all parties in the entire Kanto region.

Just keep following the route.

The situation has always been high-spirited.

Then the Cao family will only get stronger and stronger, and the strength will only accumulate like a snowball, and the Han world will easily fall into the palm of your hand at that time!

……

"General, the tent has been set up, do you want to take a nap in the tent?"

Cao Ang took the kettle handed by Dian Wei.

Just as I was about to say something with a smile.

Suddenly, I saw Zhang Liao running briskly from a distance, and at the same time, he was followed by several soldiers dressed as cavalry.

"Wen Yuan, but what's going on?"

Looking at the rather solemn look on Zhang Liao's face, Cao Ang immediately stood up and asked Zhang Liao while patting the dust on his clothes.

"Returning to the general, the last general sent to the front to report to the prospecting horse, twenty miles northeast of our army, that is, northwest of Qian County."

"There are two groups of men and horses fighting, one of which belongs to an unknown force, but the one with a larger number should belong to the Yellow Turban thieves, about nearly 10,000 people."

"According to Tanma's observations, the Yellow Turban Thieves currently have the upper hand, while the other group of men and horses have fallen into disadvantage because they have too few troops and do not seem to be regular troops, and the situation is quite critical."

"To save or not to save, please show the general!"

Cao Ang, who didn't go to his heart.

After hearing that one of the fighting parties was a Yellow Turban Thief, his interest immediately increased.

What did we get started?

Isn't it a yellow turban thief?

Since the Cao family entered Yanzhou, I don't know how many yellow turban thieves have been fought along the way, but if there are yellow turban thieves, then our Cao army must help the field.

Besides, there are only nearly 10,000 people, and small-scale thieves like this can't be ranked in the Yellow Turban Thief sequence, so they can basically be cleaned up.

……

Without much hesitation.

Cao Angdang even said to Zhang Liao: "The Yellow Turban thieves specialize in looting, and those who can fight with them must be the local forces that they have spontaneously recruited and formed in order to defend their hometowns. ”

"Since this place is in Yuzhou, then I, the dignified Yuzhou pastor, naturally have the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people, and guarding the land."

"These people deserve to be saved!"

After making a statement of righteousness.

Cao Ang gave an order to Zhang Liao.

"Wen Yuan, you hurry up and order to go down, let the soldiers move faster, hurry up and make a fire to cook, and hurry up to eat after cooking."

"When you finish eating, you immediately lead people to advance to the northeast, lead the army to wrap over, cut off the back road of the Yellow Turban thieves, and leave them with nowhere to escape."

"I will take Cao Chun to lead the cavalry over to see what the specific situation is, and if the situation is really critical, I will use the cavalry to charge into battle and relieve the siege."

Follow the speed of the fully defeated infantry.

After walking twenty miles, basically most of the day has passed, and only the cavalry can come and go like the wind, shuttling between the two places in a short time.

And for Cao Ang's arrangement.

Zhang Liao did not object.

After all, with more than 2,000 elite cavalry, attacking the phalanx of less than 10,000 displaced people, it was completely a one-sided crush, and there was no possible danger.

"The last general commands!"

…………

After a few mouthfuls of dry food.

Cao Ang took Cao Chun and Dian Wei, and more than 2,000 elite cavalry, all the way to the direction indicated by the horse.

Twenty miles of land was a short distance for cavalry.

As a result, it is possible to travel at top speed.

The distance between the two places passed in a flash, and Cao Ang and the others soon arrived at the point of the incident mentioned earlier.

Saw the so-called battle between the two armies.

At this moment, on a small high slope around the battle site, Cao Ang was relying on his extremely amazing eyesight, listening to the sound of war drums and shouts of killing in his ears, and he prostrated himself to see the situation below.

It is indeed a melee, one more and one less, two troops in a melee.

The large number of people, with nearly 10,000 people, seems to be quite impressive, but whether it is from the mental outlook of the soldiers, or the armor they wear, the weapons they hold and other aspects.

It is enough to see that this is a troop that is too miscellaneous to be any longer miscellaneous.

And the most striking feature of this army.

That is, the officers and soldiers of the army either tied a piece of earthy yellow linen cloth on their foreheads or arms, and their identities were revealed.

It is the Yellow Turban thief who wanders all over the world!

……

Of course.

The quality of the army of the Yellow Turban Thieves is very poor.

Their opponents are not much better.

About three or four thousand people.

Most of them wore linen clothes and held bamboo weapons in their hands, and only a very small number of them could afford to wear armor and hold iron weapons.

Cao Ang glanced at it and knew that these people were just a group of village men, and their main business was farming and farming on weekdays, but when the enemy came to attack, they took up arms and turned into village soldiers.

There is not much difference in the quality of the armies of the two sides.

The local village soldiers were able to hold out for such a long time, far outnumbered by the enemy, thanks to the large number of fortifications they had built in their place.

Earth-walled earthen forts, as well as trench traps.

Relying on these fortifications, hiding in them to launch a defensive counterattack, is the fundamental reason for the delay so far.

But in Cao Ang's opinion.

The defenders couldn't hold out much longer.

From the fact that most of the earthen forts have stopped firing arrows, it is clear that they have run out of arrows.

If you don't lead the cavalry to help.

I'm afraid it will be another half an hour at most.

The local township soldiers will be defeated.

……

But just as he was about to order the cavalry to charge, so that the soldiers could immediately break the Yellow Turban Thief formation.

Cao Ang's eyes suddenly froze.

He saw a figure walking out from behind the earthen wall, leading a cow.

This is an extremely strong man!

He wore a scarf around his head, a simple suit of armor, and a long knife in his hand, and his face looked rather rugged and slightly dark.

But really striking.

It was the man who was covered in swollen muscles, bulging between his arms, and his legs were thick and powerful.

He was tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, and his body exuded a fierce aura, like a beast of prey.

Even if he was so far away, Cao Ang could still feel the strong oppressive force from this man, but it also made his eyes light up suddenly.

Perhaps the defenders could hold out for so long.

Not only thanks to the fortifications, but also thanks to their side, the presence of this person in front of them!

……

"Adian, come and see that person!"

Dian Wei, who heard Cao Ang's call, immediately stepped forward from the side and back, followed the direction of Cao Ang's finger, squinted his eyes and tried his best to look there.

Half an hour later.

Dian Weicai rubbed his eyes, and then said to Cao Ang: "The subordinates don't see it very really, but this person should be a man with great strength." ”

"Just by looking at his size and his movements when he is holding a cow, you know that even if he is weak, he will never be much weaker than his subordinates."

Dian Wei is an expert in this area of power.

Looking at the world, it is difficult to find someone who knows more about size and strength than Dian Wei.

So after getting his approval.

Cao Ang became more and more sure that the strong man on the battlefield was a rare power-type fierce general!

Combined with the location of Qian County.

and the scene of defending against the Yellow Turbans.

Cao Ang had a faint guess in his heart.

This strong man shouldn't be the rumored Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang, right?

After all, Xu Chu is a native of Qian County, and there are historical records that he did recruit and gather a group of young and strong players to defend the place together with the clan.

He once resisted the invasion of the Gepi thieves.

All of the above information is correct.

Cao Ang felt that the possibility was very high.

……

The so-called Xu Chu.

is the tiger idiot Xu Chu, who is extremely brave in marching and fighting, the second personal bodyguard of his father Cao Cao, loyal to Lao Cao, and can fight naked and fight horses!

Tough and loyal.

Cao Ang admires such a person.

If he can recruit him under his command, then there will be one more available and credible general, and Cao Ang is naturally quite happy about this.

Whether it is used as a fierce general for the battlefield charge, or to stay by one's side at any time, it is enough to make the best use of one's talents and play a huge role.

In fact, when Cao Ang came to this side of the county two years ago.

I made a special trip to inquire about Xu Chu.

It's just that at that time, I didn't know if Xu Chu was not in Qian County, or if he didn't make a name for himself at that time, Cao Ang inquired many times, but did not collect relevant information.

At that time, Cao Ang was busy persuading his grandfather Cao Song to follow him to Yanzhou.

And after the grandfather agreed.

I also need to bring my family and lead a group of clan members to go north for a long time, and the schedule is quite tight during the period, and I can't spare extra time.

So after inquiring for a while to no avail.

Cao Ang could only choose to put it on hold for the time being.

I didn't expect it to be two years later.

I will go back to the county by myself.

You don't need to take the initiative to inquire, you can accidentally bump into it here, which can be regarded as a kind of fate and luck.

Of course.

It's too early to say that.

Whether the person below is Xu Chu or not has not yet been determined, and it is urgent to certify.

……

Just as Cao Ang was thinking.

Dian Wei's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"General, look at that person, he really has a lot of arm strength, and he is really a warrior!"

A voice interrupted Cao Ang's thoughts.

made his eyes focus on the battlefield in the distance, and saw that the person he preliminarily judged to be Xu Chu was dragging the tail of the ox with one hand at the moment, dragging the ox all the way upside down.

The front and back dragged more than 100 steps away.

During the whole process, the face was not red, the breath was not panting, and the action was leisurely, as if he was just playing in the mountains and rivers, and what he pulled in his hand was just a small board car.

Until he pulled the cow back to the Yellow Turban Thief.

The action stopped.

"Shhh

See this.

Cao Ang couldn't help but take a deep breath.

That's a lot of arm strength!

Dragging a strong ox to walk with bare hands already requires a lot of strength.

And the guy below is pulling the tail of the cow, which belongs to the soft part of the cow's body, and dragging it hard will make the cow have obvious pain.

Once the cow is in pain, it will go berserk and exert force in the opposite direction with a stronger momentum than usual, thus creating a considerable obstacle to the drag.

However, the man's face remained unchanged, and he was calm and relaxed, and he just pulled a hundred steps.

The incomparably strong ploughing ox in front of him was no different from the mud, which was enough to prove what terrifying power it contained in its body.

……

The enemy of this strong man.

That is, the besieging Yellow Turban Army.

Obviously, they were also shocked by such might, and there were riots in the military formation, and many people were terrified when they saw this scene.

Observe from Cao Ang's perspective.

After seeing what the man said, the Yellow Turban Thief was in a mess.

And the Yellow Turban Thief general, who was the leader riding on several old horses, was even more cringe.

After hesitating for a while.

He waved his hands and shouted in his mouth, as if he intended to withdraw his troops first, and no longer attack the earthen fort and earthen walls.

With the momentum of one person, and the town of one army.

It can be described as a hero!

Seeing that the enemy was about to run away, and it would be too late if he didn't go up, Cao Ang immediately gave an order to Cao Chun.

More than 2,000 cavalrymen suddenly turned into a violent wind, like lightning and lightning, and rushed straight down from the heights, and the momentum was like a sea of mountains, which was terrifying.

"Boom!"

"Da Da Da!"

It is well known that by giving the cavalry enough distance to charge, the cavalry will be able to exert its speed to the extreme.

And the faster the speed, the more momentum and lethality the charge will bring.

This is on the battlefield at this moment.

The heavens and the earth echoed, the sound of the horse's hooves vibrating on the ground, and the neighing of the horses.

The war horse galloped past, and the dust it carried was flying, covering the sky and the sun, covering the left and right, blocking all the vision, as if the end was coming.

"Kill!"

With the sound of a shout of killing.

The cavalry rushed into the enemy line.

……

There is no suspense in this war.

It's a battle of crushing through and through.

It took only a quarter of an hour.

The Yellow Turban Thief has completely collapsed.

Even if there are nearly 10,000 people, under the trampling of iron hooves, they are just rows of fallen wheat, and there is no room for resistance.

Therefore, after Cao Chun raised the banner and asked his soldiers to shout the slogan of surrender and not kill.

The entire Yellow Turban Army, from the generals to the low-level soldiers, all chose to surrender on the ground.

It's just a quarter of an hour.

The battlefield has fallen silent again.

The man on the other side of the battlefield looked at the visitor with some shock at the moment, and there was a bit of surprise and sluggishness in his eyes.

What's the situation?

I actually came to reinforce the troops!

Moreover, it is a highly motorized unit composed of all cavalry, and it is not just a little money to be able to form such an elite army.

And money alone is not enough.

It has to be a powerful force.

When did we have such a fierce man in our county?

Wrong!

A thought suddenly came to the man's heart, which made him vaguely guess.

……

After Cao Ang and Tongdian Wei came over.

This person immediately bowed to Cao Ang, who was the leader, and bowed his hand.

"In Xia Xu Chu, the word Zhongkang, is a local person in Qian County, this time he led the villagers to be young and strong, and he resisted the attack of thieves here."

"It's just that the enemy army is outnumbered, and our army is not well stocked, so the battle is difficult and almost lost."

"If it weren't for the help of you and your subordinates, I really don't know how to end up, and my hometown will probably be robbed by thieves."

After hearing Xu Chu's self-introduction.

Cao Ang's eyes suddenly lit up.

Good!

This person is really Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang.

It's good, it's a no-brainer!

As long as you find a way to recruit it, you will have one more fierce general under your hands, and it will be a good thing!

It's just that Cao Ang hasn't had time to respond.

I heard Xu Chu ask with some hesitation.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, are you General Cao Zixuan in person?"
