I saw dozens of big men walking out of the woods on both sides.
The leader is eight feet tall, broad-shouldered and round-waisted. He is in his twenties and has a very strong build.
As if he noticed something was wrong with this group of people, the man's eyes widened and he shouted: "Let my great-uncle go."
"Um?"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suddenly became interested, and they both took a step forward to confront the strong man tit for tat.
The middle-aged man was naturally very familiar with this person, and he quickly confessed to Liu Bei with a wry smile: "Please forgive me, your Majesty, this is Xu Chu, a member of my tribe, who has a rather reckless character, and has disturbed your Majesty, so I will go and drive him away."
.”
"Elders, don't be impatient."
Liu Bei saw this man's majestic appearance and extraordinary momentum, so he grabbed the middle-aged man and asked curiously: "This man looks very strong. I wonder if he has ever been in the army or practiced martial arts?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Zhongkang has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has amazing strength. Although he has never joined the army, he has the experience of defeating more than ten thousand Yellow Turbans by one man."
"What?"
Liu Bei was shocked and said: "One man can defeat more than ten thousand Yellow Turbans?"
"Elders, please don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Fei in front felt strange when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at the middle-aged and elderly man with a look of disbelief: "If one man can defeat tens of thousands of people in a battle, could he have beaten the old, weak, women and children?"
Although Guan Yu did not speak, his slightly narrowed eyes and raised head showed that he was proud and no longer trusting.
It's not that they think the elder in front of them is unkind, but that this matter is indeed a bit unbelievable.
No matter how awesome you are, you can't exaggerate to this extent.
Lu Bu is already invincible. There are only rumors that he went into battle and killed hundreds of Xianbei single-handedly, but we don't know whether it is true or not. However, it is true that he is slightly stronger than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
But no matter how strong Lu Bu is, he may be able to kill dozens of people by one person and repel hundreds of people. But if he wants to repel tens of thousands of people, isn't that just a dream?
Not to mention Lu Bu, even Xiang Yu, who is unique throughout history, couldn't do it.
After all, Xiang Yu only charged into the battle alone and killed hundreds of people, but the elders said that he was able to repel tens of thousands of people. The disparity in the number of people was so huge that it was no longer something that an individual could contend with. Even if Xiang Yu was reborn, how much effort would it take?
A hundred lives can still make Xiang Yu die again.
However, when the young man who wanted to collect firewood saw that they didn't believe them, he immediately said dissatisfied: "This is absolutely true. We have all seen it with our own eyes. Those yellow scarf bandits were so scared that they all fled away from the Zhongkang clan brother."
"oh?"
Liu Bei glanced around and saw the confident expressions on the faces of several villagers around him. He suddenly became interested and asked the middle-aged man: "Can you please tell me, elder, how he repelled tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans? Could it be that he charged into the battle alone?"
Kill the general?"
If they were beheading generals, it might be possible. Because the Yellow Turbans were just poor people gathered together, and they were not strong in fighting ability. Once the leader died, they would easily disperse.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "That's not true. A few years ago, the Yellow Turbans invaded, with tens of thousands of people. Zhongkang led his clan and neighbors to resist. Both sides were very tired from the battle. There was not much food in the village, so they discussed and negotiated a peace.
We exchanged a cow for food. After the cow was taken away by the thieves, it walked back on its own. Zhongkang, in front of tens of thousands of thieves, pulled the cow's tail and walked for more than a hundred steps, frightening all the thieves to escape."
Liu Bei was surprised and said: "You have such magical power?"
"That is."
The young man said proudly: "There used to be a tiger in the Western Mountains. It was the Zhongkang clan brother who fought with the tiger and beat it away."
Guan Yu frowned even more, seeming to think this was nothing special.
The two of them were really dissatisfied.
Many people think that when they meet a tiger, they use a sliding shovel to feed the tiger with food.
But that depends on what kind of tiger you encounter.
If it were a Siberian tiger, it would definitely be doomed. It would just be waiting to die where it was, and it would be over. There would be no way to escape.
With an adult Siberian tiger weighing 220-300 kilograms, a paw slaps it with a force of more than 800 kilograms, and can bite off a person's head in one bite.
However, there are no Siberian tigers in the Central Plains, only South China tigers.
In ancient times, the South China tiger was a very widespread tiger species. Even before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were many South China tigers in China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country hunted tigers in large numbers, which led to the gradual disappearance of the South China tiger.
The weight of this kind of tiger is not very large. Adult male tigers are generally around 150 kilograms, while female tigers are only 120 kilograms. The size difference between them and very strong adult men is not very obvious.
According to official historical records, there are quite a few fierce men who killed South China tigers with their bare hands. For example, Yang Zhong, the father of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, crushed a tiger to pieces with his bare hands.
There are also Shi Naian's friends Bian Yuanheng and the famous anti-Japanese general Zhao Dengyu. They are all famous tiger fighting heroes and are recorded in historical materials.
It is recorded in the history books that these fierce men were able to crush South China tigers with their bare hands. If they were fully armed with armor, weapons, bows and arrows, and at the level of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it would not take much effort to kill a South China tiger.
In particular, Xu Chu had the strength to pull down a cow and kill a South China tiger with his bare hands. This really cannot be considered fantasy.
But generally, no one would kill a tiger.
Because even the South China tiger is not weak and has an advantage in size. It is still very dangerous if you are not careful. There is no need to do such a thankless thing.
What's more, Xu Zhu didn't kill the tiger, he just drove it away. Compared with killing the tiger, driving the tiger away was much easier. In the eyes of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it was naturally not considered an honor.
However, for ordinary people, this was already a very remarkable feat, so whether it was dragging a buffalo or driving away a tiger, Xu Chu became famous in the countryside and became a famous figure in Qiao County.
Hearing Xu Chu's experience, Liu Bei was quite surprised. The idea of loving talents suddenly came to his mind. He looked around and said: "I didn't expect that there is such a strong man here. If he joins the army, I am afraid he must be one."
A fierce general."
"Whether this person can do it or not, let me try it before I can tell."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Fei yelled, raised the Zhangba Snake Spear, and started to kill towards the pass in front.
"Yide!"
Liu Bei couldn't stop him in time, Zhang Fei had already rushed in front of Xujiazhuang soldiers.
"Don't worry, brother, I will keep an eye on my third brother."
Guan Yu followed him with the Qinglong Sword.
In fact, Zhang Fei's hands have been itchy recently and he has been wanting to fight. Now that one has come to his door, he naturally doesn't want to let it go. While relieving his addiction, he can also help Liu Bei try this Xu Chu Jinliang.
As for Guan Yu, it's not that his hands are itchy, but he knows that Zhang Fei's attack was not serious or serious. He was just passing by to march and station here. If he accidentally hurts Xu Chu and offends the locals, it will be a bad thing. So at the critical moment,
He must come to the rescue.
Not to save Zhang Fei, but to save Xu Chu.
Pulling an ox's tail backwards and beating a tiger away sounds powerful, but these are all physical tasks. Not to mention that Zhang Fei's strength is not necessarily worse than that of Xu Chu. In terms of skills alone, Zhang Fei is already one of the best in the world, except
Lu Bu might be at a disadvantage after a few hundred moves, and even Guan Yu wasn't sure he could handle his third brother.
Therefore, Guan Yu must watch from the side and not let Zhang Fei hurt anyone.
Then I saw Zhang Fei walking over in a swaggering manner, pointing at Xu Chu and saying: "Hey, boy, a wise man should hand over all the gold, silver, jewelry, beauties and wine in the village, mainly the wine, do you hear me!"
Liu Bei rolled his eyes after hearing this.
There is nothing wrong with pretending, but the third brother really pretended to be a thief. He himself, a noble shepherd of Qingzhou, became a robber who robbed homes and homes.
When Xu Chu heard what he said, he was furious. They were indeed a group of thieves.
When Liu Bei's scouts went to visit before, they saw many people working in the fields. Before the scouts had time to ask for directions, they found heavily armed soldiers approaching. The villagers working in the fields returned to the village to report.
When Xu Chu heard the news, he thought another bandit was attacking, so he asked his tribe to go to a nearby village to gather village leaders, while he and his brother brought dozens of tribesmen out to investigate the situation.
Although the people in front of me, except for the silk robes worn by the three leaders, the others were all in orthodox Han army armor and clothing, but in this era those who wore official uniforms were not necessarily official soldiers.
The world was in chaos, many county towns were invaded and massacred, and it was not uncommon for bandits to wear the armor of the army.
Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Xu Chu had already regarded them as the vanguard of bandits exploring the road, and immediately said angrily: "They are indeed bandits. If you dare to let my people go, I will fight with you!"
"Come on, as long as you beat me, I will let you go."
Zhang Fei carried an eight-point steel spear on his shoulder and looked at him with a playful expression.
"You let him go first!"
Xu Chu was afraid that they would use his tribe as a threat.
Zhang Fei slammed his eight-foot-long steel spear on the ground and said loudly: "You can't beat me, why should I let you go? Come on, come on, fight with a certain person for 300 rounds, or I will arrest you later."
Food to go with the wine.”
"hateful!"
Xu Chu was furious, drew out the steel knife from his waist, and was about to raise the knife to kill.
Behind him, his brother Xu Ding quickly grabbed him and whispered: "Zhong Kang, don't be impulsive first. Look over there."
Looking in the direction that his brother pointed, he saw that the group of gangsters had secretly surrounded them at some point. They scattered in four directions, slowly pressed forward, and stopped when they were more than ten feet away.
They were in groups of three, some sitting on the rocks on the mountain ridge, some leaning on the big trees on the roadside, and some squatting on the beam with a piece of dogtail grass in their mouths, looking down at them.
But what remains unchanged is that these people's hands are all touching the handles of the swords at their waists, and their eyes are just like Zhang Fei's, full of teasing, as if they don't take themselves or the village leaders seriously at all.
Although Liu Bei had no command, they were Liu Bei's most well-trained troops after all. They unconsciously formed a temporary battle formation, with three people in groups, each taking a position, and vaguely surrounding them.
Soldiers who kill people like crazy and have undergone strict training are many times stronger than these village strongmen who usually lay down their weapons and become farmers, and only train once every three to five days.
Even if the number of people on Xu Chu's side is actually slightly larger, if they really take action, Liu Bei and his close troops can kill them all in just a moment.
Seeing these people's complete lack of fear, and the occasional hint of murderous intent in their faces and eyes, Xu Chu's heart suddenly went cold.
This look in his eyes was scarier than all the bandits and yellow turban thieves he had encountered before.
"What, are you scared?"
Zhang Fei made a circle with the eight-foot steel spear in his hand, dancing like an electric fan, and laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I will never bully you, one-on-one, as long as you can beat me, we will do it right away
Just leave.”
"good."
Xu Chu pointed the big knife at Zhang Fei and said: "Get down!"
"I am coming!"
Zhang Fei glanced at Guan Yu, and seeing Guan Yu nodding slightly, he held an eight-point steel spear in one hand and walked slowly down the mountain.
The two of them were about two or three feet away, but this place still belonged to the entrance of the mountain pass. The terrain was very narrow, like a river. There were soil slopes on the left and right sides, forests above, and a piece of flat land further down.
Xu Chu asked the tribesmen to disperse, walked to the flat ground, and took two deep breaths.
He knew that the bearded man in front of him was not easy to mess with, but for the safety of the village and the tribesmen who were controlled by the enemy, he had to go all out.
"bring it on."
Xu Chu shouted.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Boy, take the move."
The eight-foot-long steel spear in his hand was as light as a wooden stick. It drew a strange arc in the air and suddenly stabbed Xu Chu.
Xu Chu looked at the steel spear intently, ducked to the side, and prepared to take advantage of the situation to hit the snake on the stick and get close to his face.
His steel knife is very short, which puts him at a disadvantage. When encountering such a long weapon, he has to fight in close combat.
But who would have expected that Zhang Fei seemed to have known what he was thinking. He smiled jokingly, stood motionless, held the spear in both hands, and suddenly changed his moves.
The spear blade seemed to be spitting out a message from a silver snake, and it was slashing towards Xu Chu's feet as fast as lightning. The top of Zhang Fei's snake spear was not a thorn. To put it more vividly, it looked a bit like a relatively long dagger.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The tip can be stabbed, and the left and right sides are bladed. It can be cut, scratched, picked, pointed, teased, etc. If you are not careful, you will suffer big losses.
Xu Chu did not expect this change. He was startled and hurriedly blocked it with a steel knife.
"when!"
A loud noise was heard and Xu Chu was knocked back several steps.
“If it’s not enough, come again and again.”
Zhang Fei laughed loudly.
Xu Chu was not convinced and raised his knife to chop again, but Zhang Fei easily blocked it and stabbed him diagonally. Taking advantage of Xu Chu's panic, he changed the stabbing to a thrust and knocked him back again.
"hateful!"
Xu Chu was walking wildly in the countryside and had never been teased like this before. He became furious, drew his sword again and continued to charge forward.
After three or five rounds, Zhang Fei found a flaw and hit Xu Chu hard on the buttocks with a stick. He rolled over on the ground, his face was covered with dust, and he was very embarrassed.
"Hahahahaha."
Seeing Xu Jiacun Zhuang coming over to help Xu Chu, Zhang Fei didn't panic at all and said with a big smile: "Boy, you are too young and your strength is not good enough."
"Zhongkang, this man is powerful. Let's go quickly and go back to gather the local braves for another fight."
Xu Ding helped Xu Chu up.
Feeling the burning pain on his buttocks, Xu Chu's rationality had completely dissipated, he pushed Xu Ding away and roared: "Come again!"
After saying that, he raised his knife and rushed forward.
But the difference in strength was too great, and he was quickly beaten back by Zhang Fei.
But Xu Chu just had such brute strength that he refused to admit defeat even if he was beaten to pieces. He still refused to give up and fought desperately.
Zhang Fei was just joking at first, but when he saw that this kid seemed to be fighting with him, he became a little more serious and continued to use his skills in the battle, beating Xu Chu away time and time again.
At first Xu Chu had almost no power to fight back, but after more than thirty rounds, he suddenly changed his fighting style. When he was supposed to be kicked away again, he rolled and shrank on the ground like a loach, and unexpectedly
While dodging the blow, he approached Zhang Fei.
"What a good boy, you learn very quickly."
Zhang Fei casually lowered the handle of the steel spear, blocking Xu Chu's knife from the ground, and said with a smile: "If I let you practice for another year and a half, you will be able to fight me well."
Xu Chu held his sword against Zhang Fei and said through gritted teeth, "Don't you just rely on your weapons to be stronger? If you had also used a sword, you would have lost long ago."
"oh?"
Zhang Fei stepped back, made a circle with the steel spear in his hand, stopped it on the ground, inserted it into the ground, and at the same time pulled out the saber from his waist: "Okay, then I will fight you with the knife."
Xu Chu was overjoyed, got up from the ground, and once again went forward to kill without hesitation.
His sword skills are wide open and he can only chop.
A knife that was as heavy as a mountain would chop down. If it were an ordinary person, even if he raised the knife to fight, he would be directly chopped into pieces by this powerful and heavy blow, including the knife and the person.
But Zhang Fei's strength may not be as strong as Xu Chu's, but it's not much smaller.
If Xu Chu's ability to drag an ox backwards is considered to be the highest level in the late Han Dynasty, with a strength of 100, Zhang Fei is at least 96. There is no huge disparity in strength, so this result will naturally not occur.
Hearing only a sound, Zhang Fei used ten percent of his strength to hold on steadily. Although he was surprised that this boy was indeed very strong, his skill in hand was not slow. The blades rubbed against each other, making a harsh sound.
At the same time, sparks flew.
When he was close to the middle of the two blades, Zhang Fei held the handle of the knife with his right hand and pushed the back of the knife with his left hand. He twisted his whole body and slid out from under Xu Chu's knife. At the same time, the tip of the knife slashed towards Xu Chu's neck.
when!
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword thrust out like a roaring dragon, blocking the sword.
Guan Yu had long noticed that something was wrong, and was afraid that Zhang Fei would act inappropriately, so he took two steps forward and immediately took action to help Xu Chu out of the siege.
At that time, Xu Chu was still in the inertia of slashing. He had no time to dodge or change his moves. He could only watch the knife coming. At that time, he only felt that his scalp was numb and he was almost suffocating. When he fell to the ground and gasped for breath, he realized that he was not alive.
die.
"Second brother, what are you doing? Are you afraid that I will hurt this kid?"
Zhang Fei shouted dissatisfied.
He had already lost his strength just now, and even if he could scratch, he would only be able to scratch off Xu Chu's hair, not actually cut off his head.
"Okay, this kid has no strength but no combat experience. You are bullying him."
Guan Yu shook his head, there was no need to continue this battle.
It's just adults bullying children.
Zhang Fei smiled, and shouted to Xu Chu, who was sweating on the ground and still breathing heavily: "Boy, you are not bad, would you like to join the army?"
Seeing Xu Chu who dared to keep raising his sword even though he knew he was no match, Zhang Fei started to love talents.
It's not that he thinks highly of Xu Chu. After all, he respects scholars. For ordinary villagers, his attitude will be much more contemptuous.
The main reason is that Xu Chu is very similar to him when he was a boy. He is very strong but has poor skills. He likes to fight and cause trouble everywhere. If he is trained well for two years, he may be a good player in battle.
"You want me to join you and dream!"
Xu Chu scratched his neck and didn't respond.
"Hey you kid."
Zhang Fei put his hands on his waist, pointed at Xu Chu and lectured him: "I don't know what is good or bad. There are countless people in the world who want to join us, but we still haven't agreed."
"snort!"
Xu Chu got up from the ground and snorted coldly: "You just relied on the weapon commander at the beginning, which cost me a lot of energy. If you had used the knife from the beginning, I might not have lost."
Zhang Fei was amused by him and said happily: "You really don't know whether to live or die. I'm going to use the knife. You will be dead within two or three moves. Believe it or not."
"Do not believe!"
"Then try again?"
"Just try it, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Xu Chu's eyes widened.
Zhang Fei was so amused by him that he raised his sword to strike again, but Guan Yu stopped him.
"Okay, big brother is here."
In the distance, Liu Bei and everyone slowly descended the mountain.
The middle-aged man came up and scolded: "Boping, Zhongkang, don't be rude."
"granduncle."
Xu Ding, Xu Chu and many other tribesmen quickly saluted.
"This is Mr. Liu from Qingzhou."
The middle-aged man introduced again: "This time we are following the imperial court's order to conquer Yuan Shu."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Huh?"
Xu Chu was dumbfounded, wasn't he a bandit? Why did he become an envoy again?
Fortunately, Xu Ding reacted quickly, and pulled him to bend down and salute: "I have seen the envoy, and the peasants in the country bumped into the envoy. Please don't blame me."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, don't blame those who don't know."
Xu Chu was a little confused and said: "Liu Shijun of Qingzhou, could it be Liu..."
"Yes, my eldest brother is the world-famous Liu Xuande!"
Zhang Fei laughed loudly, pointed at himself and said: "I am also the world-famous Zhang Yide!"
"It's actually Mr. Liu."
Xu Chu's shock turned into regret, and he said, "Xiaomin... Xiaomin really didn't know that Liu Qingzhou was here."
"OK OK."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "I think your strength is amazing. If you join the army, you will become a fierce general. Are you willing to join the army?"
This time Xu Zhu knelt down on one knee without hesitation and said: "The common people have had this idea for a long time, but they have not yet met the Ming Lord. Now that they see the envoy, Chu is willing to follow the envoy and ride on the horse and back for the envoy!"
Liu Bei's fame is really great now. As Yuan Shao was famous in history, Liu Bei is just as famous now.
He has already become a legendary figure by fighting against the Yellow Turbans, suppressing the rebellion, fighting against Dong Zhuo, and rejecting Yuan Shao.
Once you have a reputation, it will be much easier to recruit people.
"Boy, practice hard in the army. In another year and a half, maybe you can fight a few tricks with me."
Zhang Fei laughed proudly.
Xu Chu was still unconvinced and said: "Although the general is a famous figure in the world, if he wants to kill me with two or three moves, then I am too weak. I am not convinced."
"Zhongkang, people should not be too proud, they must learn to recognize their own shortcomings."
As soon as Liu Bei accepted Xu Chu, he began to think about becoming a teacher again, and said with a smile: "You are indeed very powerful, but you lack skills and experience in battle. Not to mention Yide, even I can do three or five moves."
After I subdue you, you will join the army and practice slowly, and you will naturally know how powerful you are."
"Well, I taught you the right lesson."
Seeing Liu Bei whom he respected speaking, Xu Chu could only lower his head.
But there was a fire in his heart.
He was obviously king and hegemonic in his hometown, but when he left the villages and counties, he realized that there were people outside the world, and there was a sky outside the sky.
You must work hard. One day, you will have to fight General Zhang for 300 rounds before giving up!
Some people may wonder that with Xu Chu's ability, even if he couldn't defeat Zhang Fei, could he still be unable to defeat Liu Bei and be subdued by Liu Bei in just three or five moves?
But we need to be clear about one thing, that is, Xu Chu was actually very young at this time.
There is no record of Xu Chu's age in history, but through some records, it can be roughly deduced that Xu Chu is only in his twenties this year. Even if we take the maximum value, he is at most about twenty-five years old.
Moreover, before he defected to Cao Cao, he had very little combat experience and had almost no characteristics except for his great strength.
And what about Liu Guanzhang?
Let’s not talk about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, just Liu Bei.
From the age of twenty-four to the age of thirty-six now, in the past twelve years, I have fought for the Yellow Turbans, fought against Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, defeated Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, and conquered bandits from all directions. I don’t know how many times I have fought many evil battles, big and small, and even fought against the world.
They have fought against the number one Lu Bu.
Liu Bei's force value may only be over 80, but he has a lot of experience in battle and is very skilled with his double sword.
As the saying goes, if you use four ounces to move a thousand pounds, but you have no strength, you can't kill anyone. It's just a stupid big guy who can only use brute force, which is meaningless at all.
Therefore, Xu Chu is still too young now. He must at least join the army and fight the enemy, start summarizing combat experience and learn various combat skills before he can use his talents and grow into a tiger idiot in history!
