Xu Huang was about to follow Xu Chu out of the hall, when suddenly a figure rushed out and slapped Xu Huang. "Pa!" and a crisp slap was immediately printed on Xu Huang's right side.
face.
Because Xu Huang was only paying attention to Xu Chu, he didn't notice that someone would sneak up on him. After a moment, he immediately saw clearly that the person who beat him was none other than his lord--Yang Feng. Xu Huang was stunned.
He didn't know why Yang Feng hit him.
"You are dizzy. How long have you been here? You still only know how to fight and kill people. Go to the backyard. I will punish you by standing guard on the first shift!"
Yang Feng roared at the stunned Xu Huang. Xu Huang's heart immediately filled with grievances and anger. Xu Huang blushed and the ax handle in his hand rattled for a while.
Not to mention that Xu Huang was stunned, everyone in the hall was stunned for a while. He did not expect that Yang Feng would beat Xu Huang for this matter. At this time, the only person he could use was Xu Huang. Moreover, Xu Huang also
He just found some of his subordinates.
Li Ru understood the reason for Yang Feng's anger. Yang Feng still had many troops that Xu Huang could squander. He had endured it for many days and had been repeatedly squeezed and ignored by Li Le, Li Ru and others. At this time, he finally regained his composure.
After gathering some soldiers and horses, I had some confidence to stand up straight and speak, but when I encountered the subordinate I relied on the most, I was impulsive. So I vented all my anger on Xu Huang.
Although Xu Huang was angry, he and Yang Feng had a master-servant relationship for more than ten years. They were beaten and scolded, and they lost face. Who said Xu Huang was Yang Feng's subordinate?
Xu Huang had a sullen face, turned around and went to the backyard without saying a word.
Yang Feng drove Xu Huang away and politely said to Li Ru: "Commander Li is laughing, please leave slowly! I won't send you off!"
Li Ru also said softly: "Farewell!" Then he and Xu Chu left the county government office. After leaving the door, Li Ru told Xu Chu in a dark voice: "Lead your troops to surround the county government office. Before the arrival of the lord, you can only
Come in, don’t come out!”
########## Li Jue had a good sleep, and when he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. He was old, and he was really tired from traveling all the way. Yesterday, he was attacked by Xu Chu's cavalry.
He suffered a slight setback, but this did not affect his expectations for a better future. Although the sudden appearance of Cao Zhi's troops had some impact on him, Li Jue was not in a hurry. Guo Si had already gone back to mobilize troops. The two of them
He could mobilize 10,000 horses nearby. As long as all the troops and horses were gathered, it would be no problem to capture the small Dayang City. Therefore, when the enemy troops suddenly attacked the camp in the city early this morning, he did not get up at all, nor did he
After careful consideration, I later heard that the losses were not large. It seems that this Cao army was not very powerful and its combat effectiveness was average.
At dusk that day, Guo Si brought back the 3,000 men and horses left on the other side of the Yellow River, and the remaining reinforcements were already on the way. After Li Jue laughed three times, he decided to call Cao Zhi in the city to come out and talk.
"Cao Jun in the city has heard that General Li, the Marquis of Chiyang, has something to discuss with Cao Zhi of Danyang and Grand Administrator Cao!"
Li Jue's Sima had been shouting at the foot of Dayang City for a long time. Finally, a young general under the age of thirty stood on the tower facing Li Jue and Guo Si's troops.
"Le Jin, the captain of Danyang, is here. If you have anything to say, tell me!" Le Jin's official position as captain of Danyang was two years ago. At this time, he was actually the captain of Cao Cao in Yanzhou, but he didn't know that Li Jue
If he had to say anything, he would take out his old job and deal with it temporarily.
When Li Jue saw that Cao Zhi didn't come out, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After looking at each other with Guo Si, he said to his subordinate Sima: "Go and tell him that as long as Cao Zhi is willing to surrender to me, I promise to make him a former general."
!”
In response, Li Jue's Sima rode out and conveyed Li Jue's hospitality to Yue Jin in the city.
When Le Jin heard that Li Jue was going to make Cao Zhiguan, he laughed loudly and was about to fight back. Suddenly, rumbling drums sounded from the northwest of Dayang City, and after a while, countless flags appeared in the field of vision.
Inside, followed by the flash of countless spears and spears, an army of about six thousand people was heading towards Dayang City.
Li Jue and Guo Si were shocked. Are these soldiers and horses on that road again?
After a while, the forward reported that the flags leading the soldiers and horses clearly hung with the word "Cao". Li Jue thought to himself: "It's over, isn't Cao Zhi's territory in Danyang? Why are there so many soldiers and horses in Hedong County?
?”
Due to the sudden increase in troops from Cao's army, Li Jue and Guo Si saw that Cao's army was strong and had to temporarily abandon the siege of Dayang City. They retreated ten miles and set up camp in a posture of confrontation with Cao's army.
After Cao Zhi's six thousand troops arrived at Dayang City, not all of them entered the city. Most of them were stationed outside the city. Only one thousand soldiers followed Cao Zhi into the city.
"Oh! Li Jue wants to grant me an official title. He himself is about to become a bandit that everyone can defeat, and he still dares to write bad checks!"
Although Le Jin was already accustomed to Cao Zhi's newly coined vocabulary, he still couldn't help but ask: "What is a blank check?"
….
Cao Zhi was greeted by Yue Jin and Li Ru, and accompanied by Xun Chen, Jia Xu and others, entered the city and went straight to the Dayangcheng County Government Office.
At this time, the county government office was more tense than the enemy on the city wall. Xu Huang once again held up his battle ax and confronted Xu Chu at the gate of the county government office. This time, he was not seeking personal revenge on his own. There was someone standing behind him.
Looking at the angry Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, they were asking Xu Chu why they were imprisoned?
Xu Chu looked like a rogue, grinned and said to Yang Feng and others who were standing opposite him: "Don't waste your breath. If you can't go out, you can't go out. My military advisor said this is for your safety!"
"Fart! Xu Chu, others are afraid of you, but I, Xu Huang, am not afraid of you. Come on! Let's fight for three hundred rounds to resolve this matter!" When Xu Chu heard Xu Chu's scoundrel words, Xu Huang was so angry that his face was covered with blood, and he waved his battle ax.
I want to have a showdown with Xu Chu.
Xu Huang's shouting directly aroused the dissatisfaction of the officers and soldiers of Cao's army behind Xu Chu. They pulled out their weapons one after another, and the metal armor struck with a deafening clang of gold and iron. They roared together to teach Xu Huang and his gang a lesson.
people.
Zhong Yao stood between the two groups and kept trying to dissuade him. But this time Xu Huang approached Xu Chu to argue with the support of Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, so he would give up so easily.
Cao Zhi came at the wrong time. He heard Xu Huang and Xu Chu yelling and scolding from a distance. So when he was about to arrive at the county government office, he not only stopped, but also took Jia Xu and others and hid in an alley diagonally opposite, preparing to
Watch the fun for a while before going out.
Yang Feng and others lit the torches, only to find that more reinforcements came from Cao Jun, standing dozens of meters away, and surrounded them. Yang Feng, Dong Chengliang, and Cao Jun did not dare to do anything to them at this time.
They want Xu Huang to make more noise and make the matter bigger, and try to call out Li Ru, who has not seen him since morning, so that they can find his theory.
Xu Chu and Xu Huang could no longer bear it anymore. One held a knife and the other held an ax. After shouting loudly at the same time, they snatched them out and killed each other. In this dim night, they saw the two swords shining alternately.
Under the torch, the figure of Xu Chu and his scimitar flashed out, and the thunderous steps of Xu Huang's man and ax combined into one.
The swords and axes collided, making a harsh metallic sound. The two men quickly took over thirty rounds, but there was still no winner. The soldiers on both sides started shouting and cheering at this time, because they were all stunned. There are still two people with martial arts skills in the world.
They are all such fierce and invincible people.
After the two exchanged another twenty moves, Li Ru and Xun Chen couldn't help but become a little anxious, and they all suggested to Cao Zhi to mediate.
Jia Xu also said lukewarmly at this time: "When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Now is not the time to weaken Yang Feng and Dong Cheng!"
Jia Xu's words to Cao Zhi have become more and more profound. Isn't this clearly implying something to Cao Zhi?
Cao Zhi also replied in a confused manner at this time: "It is not easy to be a powerful minister. I will be infamy for thousands of years. I don't have the heart yet!"
When Jia Xu was stunned, Cao Zhi had already walked out of the street, "Stop!"
When a loud shout resounded through the night sky, a group of black-armored guards quickly separated Xu Chu and Xu Huang from the fierce fight and stood between them, no longer allowing the two to fight together.
"You are rebelling against me. Why are you stopping me? Do you think I can't beat him?" Xu Chu yelled angrily when he saw that it was his black-armored military guard who had stopped him and Xu Huang.
"I asked them to do this!"
Cao Zhi's voice sounded behind the furious Xu Chu. Xu Chu was eager to kill. When Cao Zhi called out for the first time, he didn't hear it at all. When he heard Cao Zhi's voice, it was originally an anger that could fry an egg.
He had to put it out instantly because he knew that once Cao Zhi came, the fight between him and Xu Huang would be impossible.
"Lord!"
"Prefect Cao, you came just in time..."
When Zhong Yao saw that Cao Zhi and others were grasping a life-saving straw, he hurriedly ran over and asked Cao Zhi to take charge of the overall situation. In fact, Zhong Yao had already seen from Li Ru's various behaviors that Cao Zhi had ulterior motives for the emperor. But this could
What? It’s better than falling into the hands of Li Jue, Guo Si and other Xiliang butchers again!
"How could you do this to Mr. Yang and Mr. Dong's subordinates? They are all Shangguan and our honored guests. From today on, we must serve them well!"
The generals of Cao's army heard Cao Zhi's order and responded in unison. Even Xu Chu put away his scimitar and obeyed Cao Zhi's orders. This was all Li Ru had taken care of in advance, and he wanted to let Yang
Feng and others knew how much Cao Zhi's subordinates supported Cao Zhi.
"That's Mr. Yang Fengyang, Mr. Dong, Mr. Zhong, please help me introduce him!" Cao Zhi did some pretense, and then asked Zhong Yao to help him introduce the officials serving the emperor.
Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, and some officials watching the excitement did not know Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi had not stayed in Luoyang for a long time and had a little reputation, but it was all negative. And Cao Zhi did not know this either.
The important officials of the imperial court, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, etc., have only risen to serve the emperor in the past year. In the past, they were small roles.
"Come, come, let me introduce to you. This is General Zhenwu, the hero of King Qin this time, Cao Zhi, the governor of Danyang, General Cao! General Cao, this is General Yang, this is General Dong, and this is Zhang Fu.
, this is Jin Wei, this is Geng Ji..."
Zhong Yao introduced the existing important officials of the court to Cao Zhi in a tedious manner. Emperor Xian fled to Dayang like a lost dog, and there were not many court officials left, but when Shinichi introduced them, there were still more than a dozen people.
Yang Feng and others could easily tell from Zhong Yao's cautious introduction that Zhong Yao was tied to the big tree Cao Zhi. In fact, Cao Zhi was not a big official. In front of such important officials in the court, he was nothing at all. He was the biggest
The official title of General Zhenwu was only a fourth-grade military position, but now no one understands who has power and who has soldiers and horses. Even a small Sima can crush them to death. At this time, the Han court, up to the emperor,
Down to the officials, everyone understands that people can no longer be judged based on their official position.
Cao Zhi and all the adults met one by one. Some civil servants had already nodded and bowed to Cao Zhi, the future powerful man, and greeted Cao Zhi with the courtesy of a lower official.
Yang Feng and Dong Cheng stared at these spineless "pugs", but they also took the opportunity to look at Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi and Cao Cao looked quite similar. Dong Cheng had seen Cao Cao in Luoyang before and made a judgment immediately.
Yang Feng and Dong Cheng still had a rather arrogant attitude towards Cao Zhi at this time. They were all ahead of Cao Zhi in terms of seniority, and it was King Qin who rescued Emperor Xian from danger. They all thought that you, Cao Zhi, were nothing.
However, he brought some soldiers and horses to confront Li Jue and Guo Bangang.
"Cao Zhi has met these two adults. I have offended many of my subordinates just now. I hope these two adults will forgive me!" Cao Zhi, who had already greeted Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, turned around after meeting all the officials present.
He bowed to Yang Feng and Dong Cheng as subordinates, and apologized to Xu Chu for his impoliteness.
"Hmph, this is how a general treats guests. Why do you surround us in the county office?" Dong Chengzhong snorted and said coldly to Cao Zhi.
Cao Zhi straightened up and said with a slight smile: "You two adults misunderstood. My subordinate is rude by nature. He will not turn around when he is ordered to protect the emperor and Mr. Lie. But he is also kind-hearted. Outside, Li Jue and Guo Si are also
He has not withdrawn his troops, and he does not know if there are spies sneaking into the city. He is also afraid that some bad guys will scare the Holy Emperor and hurt all the lords. I hope you will be listed as lord Haihan, Haihan!"
As he spoke, Cao Zhi gestured towards the other officials standing at the far end with his fists raised.
"Some misunderstandings, misunderstandings, nothing to worry about, nothing to care about!"
"Generals like to practice a few moves without any trouble, get used to it, get used to it!"
"Prefect Cao is so polite. General Yang, you are serious too. Your Xu Huang provoked you first. Please make amends with Prefect Cao. Look at how magnanimous Prefect Cao is!"
When everyone expressed their opinions, Yang Feng was so angry that his teeth started to itch, and he cursed secretly: "You guys who are so swaying, you want me, Yang Feng, to apologize to this Cao Zhi. You will know that I will never turn around again. Humph, we'll see."
, when I gather my troops and horses, I want you to look good!"
"Oh, what the hell! As for the matter of asking General Yang to apologize to my subordinates, it was my subordinates who were at fault first. I hope your lord will not remember the faults of villains... Oh! What did that lord say just now?
Xu Huang, is that Xu Huang, General Xu?"
Everyone was stunned. How could Cao Zhi speak so well? He suddenly wanted to know Yang Feng's generals. Just as everyone was stunned, Cao Zhi had found Xu Huang, and he was the only one holding a huge battle axe. Cao Zhi was the only one on the scene holding a huge battle axe.
Zhi abandoned Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, and rushed over, cordially shook hands with the legendary Five Sons of Good Generals, and said cautiously: "So you are Xu Huang!"
