Liang Gang brandished his spear and rushed to the front, and the resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for many days was finally released now.

He killed more than a dozen rogues in a row, and stabbed his spear at the leader of the rogues.

The leader was burly, with a strong physique, a cold face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a pair of eyes staring like copper bells, and cold light continued to shoot out from his eyes.

He carried a big knife and rushed to the front of the team, and when the knife fell, the heads flew up, without any fancy movements, but every move and style looked extremely powerful.

He saw Liang Gang stabbing with a spear, and as soon as the big knife turned, he pushed away Liang Gang's spear, and then shook his wrist, and slashed at Liang Gang's head with a swing of the knife.

Zhang Yan, who was standing on the high post, saw it clearly, and he was extremely surprised when he saw that the strong man beheaded Liang Gang with a single sword, and his bravery was extraordinary. He looked at the strong man who killed Yuan Bing, basically one by one, and no one could dodge his fatal knife.

After Liang Gang was beheaded, the soldiers around Liang Gang were so frightened that they didn't expect this leader of the rogue to be so powerful, and they didn't dare to approach.

At this moment, Tai Shici and Xu Sheng began to outflank from the left and right, and rampaged through the Yuan soldiers with cavalry, and there was also a group of Xuzhou soldiers who killed from behind.

Zhang Yan saw those Yuan soldiers fleeing, but he couldn't catch up, so he felt uncomfortable in his heart, if he had a thousand more soldiers and horses, he might be able to wipe out all these Yuan soldiers.

And now, he could only watch those Yuan soldiers flee. Moreover, the pursuit was not ordered.

Tai Shici, Xu Sheng and others were like fierce beasts, this side had just arrived, and the Yuan soldiers over there fled immediately, and the two used the same method to rob a group of Yuan soldiers and force them to surrender.

Soon, the battle was over, and the team that attacked Yuan's army, under the leadership of that strong man, all gathered on the left, looking at the unstoppable Xuzhou soldiers, they were all envious.

After the battle, Zhang Yan rode down from the high post, came straight to the front of the team, and said loudly: "I am Zhang Yan, the pastor of Xuzhou, where are you and the soldiers?" ”

When the strong man led by him heard Zhang Yan's name, his face was surprised, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you really Xuzhou Mu Zhang Yan?" ”

"It's like a fake!" Zhang Yan said.

The strong man hahadaxiao got up, immediately turned over and dismounted, threw the big knife in his hand to his subordinates, he took three steps and made two steps, and came straight to Zhang Yan, knelt down on one knee and said: "In Xu Chu, Xiaqiao County, meet Zhang Yuanjun!" ”

"What do you say? Your name is Xu ...... Xu Chu? Zhang Yan couldn't believe his ears, and he never thought that he would meet Xu Chu here, so he immediately asked.

Xu Chu nodded, and said loudly: "I have heard the name of Zhang Yuanjun for a long time, and I don't want to see it here today, I am really fortunate to have three lives!" ”

Zhang Yan looked at Xu Chu again, but saw that he was nine feet long, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a majestic appearance, thick arms, and a beard hanging on his chin, which was quite powerful.

During the Yellow Turban Uprising, Xu Chu was a hero of Qian County, and during the Yellow Turban Uprising, he gathered thousands of strong men and clans in his hometown to jointly build defensive facilities to resist the invasion of thieves.

At that time, more than 10,000 thieves attacked Xu Chu in Runan, Xu Chu was outnumbered, exhausted from the battle, and ran out of arrows, so he ordered both men and women to go to Dashi to defend against the enemy. When the enemy soldiers rushed up, Xu Chu Feishi retreated, so the thieves did not dare to approach. Until the grain was about to run out, Xu Chu pretended to make peace with the thief and discussed exchanging cattle for food. After the thieves moved the cattle away, they ran back by themselves, Xu Chu went to the front of the battle, pulled the tail of the cow and walked more than 100 steps, the thieves were frightened and did not dare to come to fetch the cattle again. From then on, in the land of Huai, Ru, Chen, and Liang, they all felt afraid when they heard the name of Xu Chu.

Later, Cao Cao led the army to occupy Huai and Ru, and Xu Chu led the people to submit to Cao Cao, which became a general of Cao Cao.

However, now Cao Cao is still confronting Lu Bu in Yanzhou, Qian County is subordinate to Peiguo, Peiguo borders Pengcheng, Zhang Yan's reputation has already spread in this area, Xu Chu has also heard of it, and he can't help but be a little ecstatic to see it here today.

Zhang Yan immediately jumped off the horse and personally helped Xu Chu up, seeing Xu Chu, who was more than a head taller than himself, Zhang Yan's heart didn't mention how happy he was.

He glanced at the troops led by Xu Chu behind him, and immediately asked, "Xu Zhuangshi, why did you appear here?" ”

"Yuan Shu sent his son-in-law Huang Yi and his general Liu Xun to attack Qian County, I was defeated, I have been pursuing to Guyang County, just about to meet Yuan Shu from Xuzhou retreat back from Xuzhou, and Huang Yi and others went back to Huainan together, and also learned that Yuan Jun still has more than 10,000 people to pass through here, so he ambushed under the wall and took the opportunity to attack. I don't want to meet Zhang Yuanjun here......"

"I see. Xu Zhuangshi, I don't know where you plan to go next? ”

Xu Chu pointed to the subordinates behind him and said: "They followed me out to pursue the Yuan army for many days, and many of them were also killed by the Yuan army. ”

"And after that?"

Xu Chu said: "Naturally, I stayed in Qian County!" ”

Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "A manly man, stand up to the sky, when he carries a three-foot long sword, and establishes immortal meritorious deeds, now it is a troubled era, it is a great opportunity for a good man to make meritorious contributions. Now that I'm recruiting, and my subordinates are lacking generals like Xu Zhuangshi, if Xu Zhuangshi doesn't dislike it, why don't you go to my account and do things? ”

Xu Chu thought for a while and said: "I have long heard of Zhang Yuanjun's name, and I also want to join Zhang Yuanjun's army, but there are still many people in my hometown who need to be protected, if I leave, the soldiers and horses in other places will definitely come to attack, and I must go back to protect them." ”

Zhang Yan said: "Xu Zhuangshi, as long as you come to my account, I can send troops to garrison Qiao County to protect the people of Qian County for you." Now Yuzhou is in turmoil, each county is fighting its own war, attacking each other, if there is no decent army to protect, sooner or later the county will be attacked by others. This time, Yuan Shu's army was a stark lesson. ”

Xu Chu frowned, thought for a moment, and looked back at the people who followed him, these people were all untrained people, if they really encountered a strong army, they would only be a group of rabble, and they would be vulnerable at all. He said to Zhang Yan: "Zhang Yuanjun, they are also brave men, but they have never been trained, if I agree to work under Zhang Yuanjun, then can I take them with me?" ”

Zhang Yan Haha smiled: "Of course you can, you can bring as much as you want." Moreover, I also have to train them into a real army, only then will there be enough liliang to defend the homeland, right? ”

"Yes, what Zhang Yuanjun said is very right, I have a body of martial arts, but I don't know how to train them, if Zhang Yuanjun can train them into an army, it is also something I can't ask for." Xu Chu said happily.

Zhang Yan said: "So...... Did Xu Zhuangshi agree to work under my account? ”

Xu Chu nodded, immediately knelt down in front of Zhang Yan again, and said loudly: "The lord is above, please accept Xu Chu's worship!" ”

Zhang Yan accepted Xu Chu and got the 3,000 troops led by Xu Chu, and he was very happy.

However, Xu Chu wanted to take someone back to Qian County first, so he made an appointment with Zhang Yan and met in Pengcheng.

Until dawn, Zhang Yan returned to Xiapi with the captives, and Xu Chu took his subordinates back to Qian County, each busy with their own.

Yuan Shu led an army of 70,000 and suffered heavy losses in Xuzhou, and as soon as he returned to Huainan with the remnants of his army, he immediately devoted himself to resisting Liu Xuan.

Yuan Shu took Sun Ce as the vanguard and personally led the army to a decisive battle with Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan could not resist, withdrew from Liyang, crossed the river by boat, and the two armies then withdrew their troops.

Zhang Yan returned to Xiapi and reorganized the soldiers and horses, but he always paid attention to the battle situation in Yanzhou, and according to the scout's report, Yuan Shao sent 5,000 soldiers and horses, led by Zhu Ling, and brought some grain and grass to help Cao Cao recapture Yanzhou.

However, Cao Cao did not move and continued to confront Lü Bu.

Chen Jiao returned from Yangzhou and was immediately appointed by Zhang Yan as the Taishou of Xiapi, and he himself returned to Pengcheng with soldiers and horses and prisoners.

As soon as Zhang Yan returned to Pengcheng, he received an official appointment from the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven enshrined Zhang Yan as the pastor of Xuzhou and crowned him as General Anton. And because Zhang Yan's ancestor was the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang was named Zhang.

After receiving the reward, Zhang Yan did not forget to commend his soldiers, rewarded Tai Shici, Niu Jin, Xu Sheng, Wang Bo and other money, and based on Niu Jin's heroic performance in the war, Niu Jin was appointed as the captain of Li Feng, and Wang Bo was also awarded the title of captain for his merits.

In addition to ordering the recruitment of soldiers and the formation of a regular army, he also put forward the idea of forming a militia, so that the counties can form a militia and be under the command of the county commanders, as a special force to defend the homeland and stabilize public order, and at a critical moment, it can also assist the regular army to fight.

After the order was issued, Zhang Yan collected information from all over the country, and after Yuan Shu retired and returned to Huainan, he was much more honest. And Yanzhou is divided into three parts of the world, Cao Cao occupies the northern part of Yanzhou, Lu Bu occupies the western part of Yanzhou, and Zhang Yan occupies the eastern and southern parts of Yanzhou, but the three parties have just experienced a big war and need to recuperate, so the three parties have not moved, and they are facing each other like that.

In this way, Zhang Yan can shift his focus to consolidating the rear.

On this day, Zhang Yan finished handling official business, and then returned to the mansion, the newlywed wife Mi Zhen has been waiting patiently, from the marriage to the present, almost more than a month has passed, because Zhang Yan first fought Cao Cao, and then fought Yuan Shu, has been running around, the two have seen each other for very little time.

Zhang Yan strode into his room, and saw Mi Zhen sitting on the bed wearing a thin gaule, with a beautiful face and graceful posture, Zhang Yan, who had been separated from his wife for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore, walked straight to the bed, and picked up Mi Zhen, the two looked at each other and smiled, no one spoke, but everyone knew what was going to happen next.

Xiao Biesheng is newly married, not to mention that Zhang Yan only had one night with Mi Zhen during the new wedding period, male hormones continue to surge, he lowered his head is a kiss, but his hands attacked up and down, and kept stroking Mi Zhen's body......
