He is nearly thirty years old, tall and strong. Standing on the ground, he looks like an iron tower, giving people a great sense of oppression.
Behind Xu Chu, there were more than 300 rangers, all of whom were fierce. These people were different from the family tribe brought by Chen Dao. They were all powerful, and all of them had actually killed people and seen blood.
When Xu Chu was in his hometown of Qiao County, he gathered people from his clan and recruited knights to resist the attacks of bandits. Moreover, Xu Chu had great influence in the circles of knights in Runan, Peiguo, Jiujiang and other places.
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xu Chu has been staying in his hometown, protecting his family, and thinking about his own future and the future of the Xu family.
Cao Cao unified Yanzhou, but in a blink of an eye, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong rebelled, and Yanzhou was in chaos. Thanks to Lu Xuan's help, the crisis in Yanzhou was resolved. After Cao Cao unified Yanzhou, Xu Chu planned to defect, but Xu Chu had not yet
So Cao Cao went to Chenliu, and then to Guanzhong, so that Xu Chu could not go.
While Xu Chu continued to watch, suddenly, Lu Xuan led his men into Runan County and swept across Runan.
Peiguo Qiao County, where Xu Chu is located, is also within the jurisdiction of Yuzhou.
Lu Xuan's plan to conquer Runan was obviously aimed at Yuzhou, so Xu Chu took the initiative to bring his people to defect at this time.
While Xu Chu was waiting, the people under his command were talking a lot.
"Old Xu, if we come directly to defect to Lu Xuan, will we not be taken seriously? After all, we have not made any military exploits. If I had known better, we should have killed some yellow turban thieves and taken their heads to defect."
"I heard that Lu Xuan is a womanizer. Lao Xu, you should bring a girl from the Xu family to join him. I guarantee there will be no problem."
"Lao Xu made a mistake this time."
They were originally words of worry, but as they spoke, something changed in the blink of an eye, and everyone started talking.
"Shut up!"
Xu Chu scolded sharply.
His eyes flashed coldly, his face was filled with murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice: "We are here to defect to Lu Huoqi, not to become masters. Since we are defecting, we must restrain ourselves and keep our mouths shut."
"Before, you guys were rangers, no one cared about you, and no one cared about what you said or did. Now that you are in the army, be careful that trouble comes from your mouth. Those who want to die, get out of here, don't hurt everyone.
."
brush!
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Everyone looked at Xu Chu with deep awe, and no longer dared to joke.
The relationship between Xu Chu and them was usually very good. They could joke casually and chat about women while drinking together. However, once Xu Chu became serious, all of them were afraid from the bottom of their hearts and did not dare to confront Xu Chu.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Chu said again: "We came to join Lu Piaoqi because we came to seek wealth and honor, and we hope to make achievements. Everything we have must be given by Lu Piaoqi. Since you want others to give you benefits, you
Is it okay to slander people?"
Everyone nodded.
Xu Chu said no more, turned his eyes and looked into the camp.
After a moment, the pupils in Xu Chu's eyes shrank, and he saw a young man in his twenties, very handsome, wearing a white robe, white stockings, and even no shoes, so he ran out barefoot, looking eager.
appearance.
The young man came to the gate of the camp, his eyes fell on Xu Chu, he straightened his clothes, clasped his hands together, and said, "Are you Xu Chu?"
"Exactly."
Xu Chu quickly answered with his hands raised.
He had a guess in his mind that this person should be Lu Xuan. But Lu Xuan ran out without even wearing shoes, which was really a bit hasty.
"My lord, you ran too fast. You ran out as soon as you heard Xu Chu's name. You just put aside what you were talking about. But you didn't even put on your shoes. Put them on quickly."
Zhou Yu followed in a hurry.
He picked up two shoes and placed them next to Lu Xuan.
Xu Chu was shocked when he heard Zhou Yu's words. He just guessed it was Lu Xuan, and he guessed it right. He thought Lu Xuan was a little hasty and rude because he didn't wear shoes. Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan heard him
I was so anxious to get out the news about my defection that I was like this.
Moreover, Lu Xuan was still talking about things at that time, so he greeted her without talking about things.
This is respect for him.
Xu Chu's heart was greatly touched.
Lu Xuan suddenly came to his senses, took the shoes and put them on, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Zhongkang, after I entered Runan County, I heard news about you, saying that you, Xu Zhongkang, are as brave as a tiger and a natural tiger general. I think
I immediately captured Runan County and started recruiting again. I didn’t expect you to come directly. I couldn’t help being happy for a while, which was a bit rude.”
Xu Chu said quickly: "Lu Qiaoqi has won the prize. Xu Chu is just a bit of brute force, so you don't deserve to take him so seriously."
He was very happy inside.
Lu Qiaoqi knew him.
Such compliments made Xu Chu feel very happy, and he felt that joining Lu Xuan this time was the wisest decision.
Lu Xuan glanced at the hundreds of people brought by Xu Chu. They were all brave and capable of fighting. Lu Xuan clearly remembered that the "guard regiment" brought by Xu Chu in later generations was a general.
There are dozens of people, and there are hundreds of people who have been awarded the title of school captain.
These people with knight-errant backgrounds gathered around Xu Chu. They were brave enough to fight and kill. They were all seed players.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Zhongkang, are all the people who came with you ready to defect?"
Xu Chu immediately said: "Everyone is willing to serve Lu Qiaoqi."
Lu Xuan said without hesitation: "I happen to lack a captain who is responsible for protecting my safety. If you come to join me, you can lead this group of people and be responsible for protecting my safety. Are you willing?"
"I am willing to do my humble job."
Xu Chu's eyes shone with excitement.
He was directly kept by Lu Xuan's side, which was a huge trust. If he didn't trust him, it would be impossible to keep him by his side to protect him.
Xu Chu's fighting spirit was high and he said loudly: "I am humble and swear to protect my lord to the death. Anyone who wants to endanger my lord's safety should step over me first."
Lu Xuan nodded approvingly and said: "The people you brought will all be arranged by you. Once there is a war and we fight and make meritorious deeds, we will reward them according to their merits. All the guards under my command will also be handed over to you.
You are responsible for the overall arrangements."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Xu Chu replied excitedly.
Lu Xuan took Xu Chu back to the camp and personally arranged for Xu Chu and others to stay in the uniforms they wore in the army. Xu Chu took over Zhou Tai's previous guard job, took over all the previous guards, and took control of them.
Then, Xu Chu directly took up his post and performed his duties. He stood guard at the entrance of the camp and was responsible for the safety of the guard Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan returned to the camp, feeling very happy.
Zhou Yu followed. Seeing Lu Xuan's appearance, he smiled and said, "My lord, is Xu Chu really that powerful?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Huang Zhong is far away in Xuzhou, and I only have Guan Yu. Except for Guan Yu, everyone else is no match for Xu Chu. At least for now, except for Huang Zhong and Guan Yu, no one can compete with Xu Chu."
Zhou Yu admired in his heart, cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations, my lord, you have gained another tiger general."
Lu Xuan said: "Runan is a blessed place for us. First we got a good general like Chen Dao, and then we got a tiger general like Xu Chu. The combat effectiveness of our army has been improved again. With Xu Chu's protection, next we will
It’s even more reassuring to go to Nanyang County safely.”
Zhou Yu asked: "Does my lord really want to put himself in danger and personally instigate Jia Xu's rebellion?"
Lu Xuan looked solemn and said: "I can only go in person, others can't go. If other people go to persuade them to surrender, they might be plotted by Jia Xu or detained by Jia Xu."
"Jia Xu is an extremely selfish person, so I went to see him, gave him enough respect, and then gave him enough benefits. With respect and benefits, I would have the opportunity to persuade him to surrender."
"Our army will next raid other places in Runan County. We will proceed as usual."
"My Chinese military headquarters is still set up in Pingyu County. In this way, no one will doubt me. No one will think that I will go to Nanyang County, so this is my opportunity to instigate rebellion against Jia Xu."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "During this period, Gong Jin has worked hard. You have full authority to make arrangements, and at the same time ensure that my information will not be leaked."
Zhou Yu said: "I understand the humble position."
Lu Xuan and Zhou Yu continued to discuss the details of the subsequent encirclement and suppression of Nanyang County. In the evening, Lu Xuan called Gu Yong and Lu Su to make arrangements, and finally called Xu Chu to discuss the arrangements for going to Nanyang County.
Xu Chu received Lu Xuan's instructions and agreed directly without asking any questions.
What Xu Chu has to do is to protect Lu Xuan's safety.
He doesn't care about anything else.
Lu Xuan was even more satisfied with Xu Chu's reaction. Now that he had Xu Chu, he had no intention of bringing anyone else with him, so he took Xu Chu and more than ten personal guards and quietly left Pingyu County and headed for Nanyang County.
