When Wei Yan saw Xu Chu chasing after him persistently, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He already knew where Cao Cao was and there was no need to pay attention to Xu Chu.
"drive!"
Wei Yan raised his hand and slapped the horse under him on the butt hard, and at the same time gave a loud shout. The horse under him galloped out, turned around a small forest, and disappeared in a flash.
Xu Chu rode his horse and chased after him. When he saw Wei Yan turning around a small forest, he ran after Wei Yan. He was already furious. He saw Wei Yan riding alone again. Since he was a skilled man and he was bold, he didn't hesitate.
The earth followed Wei Yan.
Turning the horse's head, Xu Chu just turned around the road beside the grove and saw an arrow shooting towards him. He was shocked and hurriedly raised the long knife in his hand. He only heard a crisp sound and the arrow hit him.
It hit the broad blade and was blocked directly.
Not far away, Wei Yan was riding on horseback, holding a long bow in his hand and looking at Xu Chu with an evil smile.
"Your grandpa! He actually fired a cold arrow? Just wait for me and see how I deal with you!" Xu Chu saw Wei Yan put away his bow and arrows and patted the horse and left. While shouting loudly, he held the horse's belly between his legs and drove the horse forward.
Chase.
Wei Yan didn't even answer, turned around and left. He originally wanted to kill Xu Chu with one arrow, but the cold arrow he fired was actually blocked by Xu Chu. He didn't expect that Xu Chu would chase after him so fast. He retreated backwards.
, while looking back, he saw Xu Chu with a fierce look, following closely behind him, like a ghost. He thought secretly in his heart: "No matter how powerful you are, you are still alone after all. If you keep chasing me,
I don’t believe that two thousand cavalry can’t surround you!”
"Your grandpa, don't run away if you dare!" Xu Chu raised the long knife in his hand and kept shouting while galloping on his horse.
At this time, Xu Chu did not carry his big hammer, which reduced the weight-bearing capacity of the horses to a certain extent, allowing the horses to carry him and run forward quickly, chasing Wei Yan.
…
In the Wei army camp outside the north gate of Jinan City, Cao Cao saw Xu Chu chasing Wei Yan on horseback. He felt a little worried, so he said to Dian Wei beside him: "You take a hundred tigers and leopards to pick up Xu Chu, this fat man."
You will definitely suffer a loss, we must rescue Xu Chu safely."
Dian Wei turned over and jumped on a horse, with a hundred tigers and leopards riding behind him. He bowed his hands to Cao Cao and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely bring Fatty Xu back safe and sound."
After he finished speaking, Dian Wei rode out of the camp with a hundred tigers and leopards. When he passed the village gate, he saw Cao Hong guarding there and said loudly: "General Cao, I will leave my lord to your care!"
Cao Hong said disdainfully: "Tsk! Do you still need to say that?"
Dian Wei knew Cao Hong's temper and ignored him. He turned around and chased Wei Yan in the direction in which he fled.
…
Wei Yan was in front and Xu Chu was behind. The two of them galloped wildly, one behind the other, for five or six miles.
"This damn fat man, is he really going to compete with me?" Wei Yan turned his head, glanced at Xu Chu behind him, and thought to himself, "Okay, today I will let you die without a burial place!"
"Wei Yan, why are you running away? Aren't you going to chop off my head? I'll let you chop it off. Come on, don't run away if you can..." Xu Chu saw that Wei Yan was not far ahead, but it was a pity that he was chasing him.
If I don't get there, I feel congested and panicked inside, and I keep yelling behind me.
Wei Yan is much calmer than Xu Chu. In the past, he would have really fought with Xu Chu. However, since he came to serve as Zang Ba's deputy general, he has made up his mind to be a general in charge instead of
A person who only knows how to charge into battle. He also knew that Xu Chu's military strength was not low, and he might not be sure of fighting alone, so he wholeheartedly led Xu Chu to the gathering place of his subordinates, and then attacked and killed him together.
Running wildly all the way, Wei Yan quickly traveled ten miles and saw a Yan army's troops parked in front of him. Chen Shi and Guo Ying were waiting there quietly. His face immediately showed a joyful look and he shouted loudly:
"Chen Shi and Guo Ying, lead your troops and come with me. Whoever kills Xu Chu will be rewarded heavily!"
When Xu Chu was chasing Wei Yan, he suddenly saw a large group of Yan army cavalry parked in front of him. He hurriedly reined in the horse and stopped at the roadside. Seeing that Wei Yan had already turned the horse's head and led the group of cavalry back.
After fighting over, he felt that he was a little outnumbered, so he hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran back.
When Wei Yan saw Xu Chu running away, he hurriedly shouted: "Chen Shi is on the left and Guo Ying is on the right. Don't run away from Xu Chu!"
Generals Chen Shi and Guo Ying said "promise" at the same time, and immediately dispersed their five hundred cavalry on both wings, hoping to outflank them from both wings.
Xu Chu ran forward and cursed: "Your grandfather! You dare not fight with me alone, but you use so many people to harm me. I must go back and lead the army as soon as possible..."
Only two-thirds of the words were said when Xu Chu's horse suddenly stumbled, knocking Xu Chu off his horse. He yelled and fell to the ground.
When Wei Yan saw Xu Chu being knocked to the ground by his war horse, his face burst with joy. He pointed at Xu Chu with the eyebrow-pointed knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "God help me! Whoever kills Xu Chu will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
With this momentary change, two thousand Yan army cavalry immediately surrounded Xu Chu. The first few cavalrymen who arrived raised their sabers and charged at Xu Chu.
Xu Chu got up from the ground and saw several cavalry rushing over. He hurriedly turned around and the sharp blade slashed in front of him. However, his hands were not idle, and his left hand directly cut from him.
The cavalryman passing by him pulled down, swung the sword with his right hand, blocked the attacks of several other cavalrymen, and escaped disaster.
"Get out of the way!"
Wei Yan stood on the horse, holding up the Mei Jian Dao. After shouting loudly, he jumped off the horse, and the Mei Jian Dao's blade struck Xu Chu's Tianling Cap directly.
Xu Chu turned his face and saw Wei Yan raising his sword in the air and slashing him with a fierce look that he had never seen before. He did not have a weapon in his hand. If he raised his long sword to block it, the weapon in his hand would probably be cut off. His footsteps
He hurriedly took a few steps outside and avoided Wei Yan's fierce attack with his body.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, the eyebrow-tip knife in Wei Yan's hand struck the ground hard, leaving a big hole in the ground.
Xu Chu thought in his heart, "It's so dangerous", but he took advantage of the situation and struck out with the long knife in his hand, slashing at Wei Yan's weak spot.
When Wei Yan saw that Xu Chu had dodged a fierce slash, he immediately held the handle of the Meijian knife across his chest before he could use his moves. When he saw Xu Chu slashing at him from the side with the knife, he blocked it with the Meijian knife.
He was attacked by Xu Chu.
"Zheng!"
There was a sound of metal colliding, and the weapons in the hands of Wei Yan and Xu Chu collided together. The two of them struggled to put all their strength into the weapons, and all four eyes stared at each other fiercely.
"You are a courageous gangster who can only bully the minority. How can you be a hero?" Xu Chu struggled to hold the handle of the knife, and the blade slowly slid on the handle of Wei Yan's Meijian knife, making a sizzling sound.
There was a noise, he stared at Wei Yan and shouted loudly.
Wei Yan held the handle of the knife with both hands and struggled to block Xu Chu's blade. He felt a huge force that he had never experienced before, and he was applying pressure to him bit by bit. When he heard Xu Chu's yelling, he laughed dryly.
He said twice: "I'm not a hero, and I'm not a good man either. As long as I can kill you, that's fine!"
"Humph! Just you? It's too early to kill me!" Xu Chu said confidently.
Wei Yan smiled gloomily, but his eyes suddenly turned to Xu Chu's back, because he saw Chen Shi approaching with a spear, and the tip of the spear pierced Xu Chu's lower back.
Xu Chu already had an ominous feeling, but there was no way to continue the stalemate with Wei Yan like this. Seeing that danger was coming, the veins on his arms suddenly popped out, and he pushed Wei Yan back with all his strength, while hurriedly
Turning around, the long knife deflected the spear thrust by Chen Shi. The blade moved upward along the spear, and with one stroke, Chen Shi's right hand holding the spear was cut off, and blood splashed all over his face.
Chen Shi's right hand was cut off and he screamed in pain. After riding his horse forward for a while, he fell off the horse. Fortunately, his subordinates caught him and prevented him from falling.
Wei Yan was pushed away by Xu Chu's strong force and took several steps back. He hurriedly leaned on the ground with the handle of the Meijian knife, and then barely stopped the force of continuing to retreat. He saw Chen Shi's broken hand and Xu Chu holding it.
Standing in the center of Kan holding a long knife, he secretly admired in his heart: "This guy is so strong!"
Xu Chu was trapped in a tight siege, his eyes kept flashing, and he was always vigilant.
"Come together and kill him!" Wei Yan saw that Xu Chu could not win alone, so he cheered up and shouted loudly.
At the command, the soldiers in front jumped off their horses one after another, and rushed towards Xu Chu with their weapons in their hands.
Xu Chuhu glared with no fear at all. When he saw the soldiers swarming up, he immediately let out a loud roar, and then violently waved the long knife in his hand, cutting down five soldiers in a row. The blade also clashed frequently with the weapon.
It became rolled up during the collision.
When Wei Yan saw Xu Chu killing five people in a row, he was about to join the battle circle when he suddenly saw a chaos behind the army. Dian Wei, armed with double iron halberds and leading a group of one hundred tiger and leopard cavalry, rushed over to kill them.
"Fat Xu! I'm here to save you!" Dian Wei led the hundred tigers and leopards like a powerful force, and quickly reached Xu Chu. He stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Chu onto the horse's back. He did not hesitate to fight, and took Xu Chu with him.
Xu Chu and a hundred tiger and leopard riders returned quickly.
Wei Yan saw that Dian Wei was coming and going in a hurry, and wherever he went was like a deserted land, and no one could stop him, he sighed heavily: "Dian Wei, Xu Chu is indeed a fierce general under Cao Cao, and his performance is extremely good."
It's true, if we don't try our best to get rid of these two people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill Cao Cao."
Guo Ying led his troops to pursue, but Wei Yan hurriedly shouted: "Don't chase the poor invaders, clean up the battlefield, start attacking Cao Cao at night, and cooperate with Zang Ba to break out of the city!"
"promise!"
…
Dian Wei rescued Xu Chu and ran forward for several miles. When he saw that there were no pursuers behind him, he slowed down slightly and finally stopped at the roadside.
"Brother Wei, thank you very much this time." Xu Chu jumped off the horse and said to Dian Wei in shame.
Dian Wei patted Xu Chu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, fat man. This time it's your righteousness. If we are fighting alone, Wei Yan is definitely not your opponent. However, this time you were so reckless that you almost
You were killed in Wei Yan's siege. If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid you would never have survived."
Xu Chu said: "Brother Wei, what you taught me is that I won't be so reckless in the future."
Dian Wei smiled and said: "It's easy to change the country, but hard to change the nature. If you become as calm as a military advisor, you, Fatty Xu, will no longer be Fatty Xu. Since you are not injured, come back with me. My lord should be waiting in the camp."
Urgent."
Xu Chu nodded and asked: "Brother Wei, Wei Yan only has two thousand cavalry, why doesn't the lord send troops to deal with him?"
"My lord has his own thoughts, have you fought with Wei Yan?" Dian Wei asked.
Xu Chu said: "We fought, only two or three short moves, but the strength is indeed not weak, not inferior to General Cao Hong."
Dian Wei smiled and said: "Very good. In this way, my lord should have made a plan. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Come with me and return to the camp quickly."
"Well, back to camp!" Xu Chuhan said with a smile.
The two of them returned to the camp together. Dian Wei led one hundred tigers and leopards, many of whom were riding on horseback. Only a few of them were slightly injured.
After returning to the camp, Dian Wei and Xu Chu walked into Cao Cao's tent together. As soon as they entered Cao Cao's tent, they saw Xi Zhicai, Cao Hong, Yu Jin, Li Dian, and Yue Jin all there. The two of them had nothing.
He said, walked directly behind Cao Cao, and stood beside Cao Cao.
"My lord, there has been movement in Pingyuan. General Jiang Yiqu of the Zhao army who surrendered to Gao Fei has been appointed as the governor of Pingyuan. Hearing that my lord surrounded Zang Ba in Jinan City, he immediately deployed defenses at the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River. In addition,
According to reports from scouts, Jizhou has been divided between Gao Fei and Lu Bu. Each of them has taken half of Jizhou. Now Yecheng has become Lu Bu's territory, and the Yan army has returned to Xindu, but Gao Fei's movements have not
It has not been discovered yet." Xi Zhicai put together the secret reports that had just been sent to the five scouts and told them to Cao Cao.
After hearing this, Cao Cao showed no expression on his face and simply said in an understatement: "It is normal for Yuan Benchu to be defeated by Gao Fei, but I don't understand why Gao Fei gave half of Jizhou to Lu Bu?"
"It is said that it is to thank Lu Bu for sending troops to help." Cao Hong said.
Xi Zhicai said: "No! Our army also sent troops, but what we got was that Zang Ba, who was secretly instructed by Gao Fei, was wreaking havoc in Qingzhou, while Lu Bu got half of Jizhou. There must be some conspiracy in this."
Cao Cao nodded and agreed with Xi Zhicai's words, and immediately said: "I also felt that there was some conspiracy, but I couldn't see it through at the moment. Gao Fei would rather give up half of Jizhou, but insist on fighting for it in Qingzhou. This fact is
rare."
Xi Zhicai said: "Then what my lord means is..."
"Stay unchanged to cope with all changes. You send people to the city of Jinan and say that I want to see Zang Ba in person. I want to know Gao Fei's thoughts and thoughts, because it is not the time for our army to fall out with the Yan army. Qingzhou
It can be regarded as a misunderstanding." Cao Cao said loudly.
Xi Zhicai said: "No, I will do it right now."
Cao Cao waved his hand and said to everyone: "Stand tight to each camp, everyone, please retreat. If there is any further commotion from the outside world, you can handle it yourself without reporting it to me."
Cao Hong, Yu Jin, Li Dian, and Yue Jin all understood Cao Cao's words, and they all clasped their fists together and said, "Subordinates, please retire!"
In an instant, there were only three people left in the tent. Cao Cao turned to look at Xu Chu, whose face was covered in blood, and asked, "Has Zhong Kang been injured?"
Xu Chu hurriedly replied: "I am not injured at all. I am ashamed of my lord and did not take back Wei Yan's head."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Wei Yan is nothing to worry about. There are only two thousand soldiers and horses, which can't cause any big storm. Can you fight with Wei Yan?"
Xu Chu said: "We fought several moves. Although there were only a few moves, my subordinates thought that Wei Yan's military force was not inferior to that of General Cao Hong."
Cao Cao said: "Judging from what he did to seduce you today, this man has some brains. Zhongkang, you have a good rest first. I will let you capture Wei Yan another day, so as to vent your bad breath, how about it?"
"
Xu Chu cupped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Lord!"
When Dian Wei saw Xu Chu leaving, he was filled with joy and said to Cao Cao: "My lord, are you planning to capture Wei Yan alive?"
Cao Cao said: "As long as they are talents recruited by Gao Fei, I will try my best to get them. No matter what method I use, I want Gao Fei to know that I am no longer the Cao Cao I used to be. I, Cao Cao, am the Cao Cao of the world.
Because the whole world will surrender before me, including him Gao Fei."
After Dian Wei heard Cao Cao's impassioned words, he secretly thought in his heart: "With such a lord, I, Dian Wei, can't help you."
