After Teng Xiao heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, because he had been waiting for Li Li to take the initiative to ask, which could be regarded as a long-awaited wait.

And the reason why he did this is because he knows the personality preferences of his lord. But all the generals who can enter the eye of Gong Li Li are almost all the talents of the best generals, and such people will generally be promoted exceptionally, and then entrusted with important tasks.

In addition, Li Lisu is very accurate in looking at people, and he does not need to use suspicious people, and he does not doubt that he will use people, once he appreciates a certain general, he will definitely be added to the rank and knighted, and the treatment is extremely generous. Just like Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xu Chu, Chen Dao, Zhou Yu and Lu Su and others before them, they were immediately entrusted with important tasks as soon as they were discovered, and they were all real positions in the army.

Therefore, Teng Xiao did not rashly recommend the general under the city, but chose to recommend it to the lord at the most appropriate time. Only in this way can he really enter the sight of his own master, and then stand out from the ordinary captain, be promoted by the master, and be entrusted with reuse.

"Ahem!" After sorting out his thoughts a little, Teng Xiao coughed lightly and said respectfully: "My lord, the person who fought with the enemy general in the city is Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, the commander of the military academy under the tent of the last general. He 、、、、、、"

"Xu Huang Xu Gongming?" Without waiting for Teng Xiao to finish speaking, Li Li suddenly interjected.

"Exactly." Teng Xiao nodded subconsciously in response, and then said with a stunned expression: "Could it be that the lord knows Xu Huang, or has he heard of him?" ”

Li Li smiled happily when he heard this: "Sure enough, it's Xu Huang!" I felt that this person was extraordinary, especially the long-handled Xuanhua axe in his hand was particularly eye-catching, and there were not many generals in the world who used heavy weapons such as battle axes, so it is not difficult to see that he is extremely powerful. As for the name of this person, I have heard of it, but I have never seen it. In my early years, I heard that he was working under Yang Feng's account, and I thought that we were friends and foes with him. I didn't expect him to be in our army. Hehehe! ”

Teng Xiao smiled and nodded, and said, "What the lord said is good. Xu Huang is a native of Yangting, Hedong County, with the word Gongming, born in a common family, and his family is poor. In the early years, when the division was chaotic, the white wave thief Yang Feng led his troops to occupy Hedong, and Xu Huang was a county official at that time, and was not valued by Yang Feng. However, after the Lord settled the rebellion in Chang'an, the last general was ordered to lead the Wuwei battalion to garrison Anyi, and Yang Feng disobeyed the last general at that time. It makes me very angry. Then the last general unexpectedly led the army to surround Anyi City and confiscate Yang Feng's military power, but this old boy was quite treacherous, changed into the clothes of the people and escaped from the county town in chaos, and then fell into the grass again. Active in the Shangdang area, thousands of people have been pulled up again.

Night. Yang Bong escaped by chance. The county soldiers of the counties of Hedong County did not flee with him, and were then reorganized into county soldiers by the last general, including Xu Huang. It's just that the last general didn't pay attention to the Hedong County soldiers at that time, so he didn't find Xu Huang, and he still stayed in Dongyuan County as a county lieutenant. Until the turn of spring and summer this year, after the lord returned to the Anyi camp from Jizhou, he ordered the last general to reorganize the troops and horses. Actively prepare for battle. Later, he inspected the counties in Hedong and inadvertently found that the hundreds of county soldiers under Xu Huang had good combat effectiveness, strict military appearance, and quite disciplined training. Then the last general will test him. found that he was strong in martial arts, calm and calm, and lived a frugal life, often ate and slept with soldiers, and won the love of his soldiers. In view of this, the last general promoted him to the rank of lieutenant and general of Dongyuan City, and allowed him to recruit 3,000 foot soldiers and practice diligently to see the after-effects. ”

After relieving his breath, Teng Xiao continued: "After the lord returned to Chang'an, he ordered General Wang Fang to serve as the general of Dongyuan City, and the last general appointed Xu Huang as a deputy general to assist Wang Fang in defending the city. In a few months, the city of Dongyuan City was renovated, and the city wall was increased by several feet, and now it is nearly three zhang high, which is said to have been built by Xu Huang and the soldiers for more than two months. In this battle, the last general is trying to recommend it to the lord, Dongyuan City is too small after all, and Xu Huang is indeed a bit condescending to garrison such a city. How to arrange it depends on the master! ”

After Li Li heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "If I remember correctly, this is the first time that Yunlong has recommended talents to me. Are you really willing to do it, and you don't regret it? ”

"Hehehe!" Teng Xiao smiled heartily and said respectfully: "The lord is serious. If the lord thinks that Xu Huang can still be used, the last general will have no words, release him immediately, and let the lord dispatch! ”

"Well, I believe that." Li Li smiled and nodded, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Since Yunlong is willing to cut love, then I'm welcome." Now that the war of our army is imminent, it is the time to employ people, so I will temporarily leave him by my side and listen to it, and he will be promoted to a general, Jin Yiwei Left Army Sima. With this arrangement, is Yunlong satisfied? ”

"Ugh!" Teng Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and hesitated: "Jin Qiwei's position as Sima is very good, but it's too fast to just promote him to the position of General Pi one step?" After all, Xu Chu, Chen Dao, Xu Ding and others are still captains or captains at the moment, and Xu Huang has become a general, I'm afraid it is difficult to be convincing? ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It seems that Yunlong doesn't know the details of the battle in Saibei, Xu Chu, Chen Zhi and others have made a lot of achievements in this battle, although they are still captains at the moment, but with their military exploits, it is not an exaggeration to promote them to Zhonglang generals." It's just that now that the strong enemy has invaded the territory, our army has frequent wars, and the war is in full swing, so these military exploits will be recorded for the time being, and they will be rewarded together after the war. What's more, the generals of all battalions of our army have been generals in their respective battalions for a long time, and they will also have to make some adjustments after the war, and many generals will be raised in their positions. Therefore, the position of a mere general is not enough, and with Xu Huang's talent, even if he is promoted to Zhonglang General, it is not an exaggeration. ”

"That being the case, the last general thanked the lord on behalf of Xu Huang!" Teng Xiao bowed and said happily.

Li Li stretched out his hand to help Teng Xiao and said approvingly: "It should be me who thank you." This time, you have recommended a good general for our army who can fight well, which is really rare, let me remember your merit, and then reward you. ”

Teng Xiao opened his eyes and smiled: "I didn't expect the lord to appreciate Xu Huang so much, and he spoke very highly of him, and the last general was very envious when he heard it." Hehehe! ”

Li Li smiled, his eyes fell on Xu Huang under the city, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

It is true that he said just now that he had heard of Xu Huang, although it was a prevarication, it was not a lie.

As a person of later generations, how could Li Li not have heard of Xu Huang? You must know that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, Lao Luo has always regarded Liu Bei as orthodox, and has a lot of criticism about Cao Wei and the Wenchen generals of Eastern Wu, but his description of Xu Huang is mostly positive. This is one of the few positive figures among Cao Wei's generals. It can be seen that Xu Huang is commendable in terms of conduct and ability, so much so that many people think that Xu Huang is the head of the "Five Good Generals", and even Cao Cao praised Xu Huang for his talent as Zhou Yafu.

What Li Li values most is Xu Huang's simplicity and loyalty.

Historically, since Xu Huang joined Cao Cao's command, he never invited merit and rewards, lived a frugal life, and until he died of illness, he still told his son not to be extravagant, and he did not need to change into new clothes to bury, so he was buried in his clothes before death. Such a frugal person is rare in the world. Even in the homes of ordinary people, people have to put on new clothes and be buried cleanly after death, not to mention Xu Huang, who was the right general at that time. In addition, Xu Huang took Cao Wei Jiangshan as his responsibility all his life. Take this as motivation and be diligent. Hard working without complaint. Death. Therefore, Xu Huang was respected by the kings and generals of all dynasties in later generations and regarded as a generation of famous generals.

Secretly thinking about it, Li Li suddenly frowned slightly, the smile on his face instantly retracted, and he turned his head to Ma Chao and ordered: "Meng Qi." You three brothers are ready to go out of the city and plunder for Gongming! If what I expected, Sun Ce is ready to fight. Gongming, Huang Gai, and Han Dang fought for more than 60 rounds, and they were wounded by arrows. I'm afraid it's not Sun Ce's enemy. If Sun Ce goes to battle, Meng Qi will go to meet him, no need to leave his hands, let him see the martial arts of my Xiliang generals, otherwise he will think that I, Li Li, are afraid of him! ”

"No!" After congratulating his order, Ma Chao said with a happy face: "I heard that this Sun Ce can survive thirty rounds under Lu Bu, I don't think he is a mediocre and incompetent person. At the end of these two years, I will never meet an opponent who can really fight with me, and I am uncomfortable with idleness, and this time it is just time for Sun Ce to loosen his muscles and bones to see what he can dare to be so arrogant! ”

Li Li bowed his head slightly, and admonished: "Meng Qi's martial arts have advanced rapidly, this is a fact that the generals of our army have seen for all to see, and his combat power has been ranked among the top ten generals of our army. However, I want to remind you that you must not underestimate the enemy, how Sun Ce's martial arts are unknown for the time being, but from the detailed investigation report, it is inferred that his courage is no less than that of his father Sun Jian, and even surpasses it. Sun Jian had the reputation of 'Jiangdong Tiger' during his lifetime, and Chen Liuhui shined when he was in the alliance, leading the way and taking the lead in entering Luoyang City. Although Sun Jian is dead now, this Sun Bofu is not very old and famous, but he has followed Sun Jian to fight in the north and south since he was a child, and he has been on the battlefield for a long time. Lu Bu still called him 'Jiangdong Little Overlord', which shows that he is brave and fierce, and his combat power is very strong, Meng Qi should not underestimate him, otherwise it will inevitably be lost! ”

"No, the last general remembers!" Ma Chao bowed in response. Immediately, he tidied up his armor a little and strode out of the castle tower with a silver spear in hand, while Ma Dai and the Ma Tie brothers followed closely behind him to go down the city.

Ma Chao is arrogant by nature and rarely convinces people, but he admires Li Li to the core, respecting and fearing him. In recent years, he has always strictly implemented everything Li Li confessed, even his father Ma Teng cannot be compared with Li Li.

If the Ma family father and son were still suspicious of Li Li before, then since Ma Yunluo was officially accepted by Li Li as a favorite concubine, the Ma family father and son have completely fallen to Li Li and have no second ambition. Because their Ma family and Li Li are already in the same boat, once Li Li is defeated, it will be difficult for the Ma family to be alone, as if they are both prosperous and lossy.

Just when the three brothers of Ma Chao led two thousand horsemen to prepare to fight horses out of the city, Xu Huang, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, who were fighting in front of the battle, had also entered the white-hot fighting stage.

But seeing Xu Huang, who was sticking a feather arrow in his back, slashed an axe and shook Han Dang back, even if he turned to fight Huang Gai, he still swung his axe and collided with Huang Gai. By this time, the two sides had fought fiercely for more than 60 rounds, and although Xu Huang was still brave and fierce with a wide open and wide open, his offensive was finally reduced slightly due to excessive power consumption. The arrow wound on his back was tormenting him all the time, the wound was bleeding nonstop, his entire back was stained with blood, and the back armor was dyed dark red.

After such a long battle, Xu Huang is already at the end of his strong crossbow, and the reason why he can not fall behind now is because he holds his breath and gritted his teeth to persist until now. If he can't inflict heavy damage on either of Huang Gai and Han Dang within Shihe, I'm afraid that he will be all slackened, and then the general trend has gone, and there is no hope of victory, and it is very likely that he will be defeated by the combination of Huang and Han.

In fact, Xu Huang didn't know that Huang Gai and Han Dang were not easy at this time, and they were even inferior to him.

So far, although Huang Gai and Han Dang have been two-to-one, sometimes responding left and right, sometimes attacking back and forth, seemingly occupying the main offensive advantage, but in fact this is not the case.

Han Dang is good at bows and arrows and has superb riding skills, but in the head-on battle, the bow and arrow can only sneak attack unexpectedly once, and one blow is enough; If you miss. It's not easy to repeat the old tricks, and the chances of success have also decreased dramatically. After giving up the bow and arrow, it is difficult for Xu Huang to pose a threat to Xu Huang with a pair of short hammers in his hand, not to mention that his own strength is not as good as Xu Huang. Therefore, Han Dang could only contain Xu Huang's attack, create opportunities for Huang Gai, and always be in an auxiliary position to cooperate with Huang Gai's attack.

Huang Gai, who was attacking Xu Huang head-on, although his own strength was not inferior to Xu Huang. But his riding skills are a little unsatisfactory, not as good as Xu Huang and Han Dang. Therefore, every time he swings his knife to kill, he has to leave room for a maximum of ninety percent of his strength, and the remaining one percent has to be left to take care of the war horse under his crotch. For fear of falling off the horse with too much force. Once they fall off the horse, then he and Han Dang will be in danger. It is very likely that Xu Huang will seize the opportunity to severely damage one of them. If that's the case. Once the combined attack was broken and Han Dang's attack was lost, Huang Gai thought that he was not Xu Huang's opponent and would definitely be defeated.

It was the inhumane hardships that prompted Huang Gai to never let go. And in the hard-to-face confrontation with Xu Huang, he also consumed a lot of energy. It's just that he didn't come out with a strong support, in fact, he is also the end of the strong crossbow, and he can't hold on for long.

Few of the officers and men of the two armies can see the true situation of the fighting generals before the battle. But there is no shortage of discerning people. For example, Sun Ce in front of the Allied army and Li Li, Teng Xiao, Li Zhi, Ma Chao and others on the city tower, they can see the reason for the fighting generals in front of the battle with their extraordinary eyesight and their own profound martial arts experience.

Because of this, Li Li suddenly frowned, and sent the three Ma Chao brothers out of the city to respond, so as not to lose Xu Huang. On the other hand, Sun Ce, who was in front of the allied army, also knew the strength of Huang Gai and Han Dang's second generals, holding the overlord gun tightly, holding the reins in his hand, ready to move. And this scene was also discovered by Li Li, so he told Ma Chao to pay special attention to Sun Ce's actions, and once Sun Ce fought the horse, he would be met by Ma Chao.

――――――――――――

"Crunch--da

Just as Huang Gai and Han Dang were attacking Xu Huang left and right, they heard that the city gate suddenly opened, and then the rumbling sound of horses' hooves rushed out, and it came into the ears of the three people who were fighting in front of the battle from far and near.

In an instant, Huang and Han heard the change of color, and looked up at the city gate in amazement, only to see thousands of iron horsemen galloping out of the city, the leader of the man was burly, holding a silver spear, and under his crotch was a snow-white divine horse, galloping to the front of the battle.

At this moment, Huang and Han looked anxious, slightly stunned, and couldn't help but slow down their attacks.

At the same time, Xu Huang, who had been looking for an opportunity to break the enemy, was not affected in the slightest, because he knew that the soldiers and horses that came out from behind him were his own people, so he didn't need to worry at all, let alone look back.

At this moment, when Huang and Han slowed down their attacks slightly, Xu Huang rode up, picked up the Xuanhua axe with both hands, and gathered the strength of his whole body to swing the axe horizontally, forcing Huang Gai to cut down.

"Bell!"

Caught off guard, Huang Gai hurriedly swung his knife to meet the attack, and then the war knife collided with the Xuanhua big axe in the air, and the loud sound was loud. Under the blow, Huang Gai's arms trembled, and the war knife in his hand was instantly swung away by the big axe, and then a cold and cold axe shadow attacked him at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

Seeing the shadow of the axe approaching, Huang Gai didn't have time to think about it at all, he endured the bursting pain on his arms, puffed out his cheeks and swung his knife to resist. When the weapon hit again, Huang Gai's hands cracked, and two fierce streams of heat came from his arms, which went up retrograde, poured into his shoulders, and then rushed into his chest and organs like a bamboo, causing his heart to ache like a twist, a mouthful of blood rushed into his throat, and he raised his head and spit out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, the mount under his crotch was shaken back a few steps, screaming and hissing, and his front hooves jumped wildly, causing the body of Huang Gai, who was spitting blood, to shake, and the blood to surge, and then another mouthful of blood blurted out.

Just when Huang Gai was shocked and subconsciously thought that Xu Huang would continue to ride his horse to chase and kill, he saw Xu Huang suddenly lift the reins of the horse, forcing the war horse under his crotch to stand upright and turn around. Immediately, when the war horse stood upright, I saw Xu Huang raise his battle axe with both hands, condescending, and slashed head-on at Han Dang, who was about to fight in close quarters.

"Han Dang be careful!"

Suddenly, Huang Gai exclaimed in shock, hoping that Han Dang would be able to rein in his horse and retreat in time to avoid Xu Huang's powerful and direct slash. It's a pity that his reminder was a little late, because Han Dang had already rushed to Xu Huang's war horse at this time, and it was too late to retreat.

"Excuse me!"

In a high-pitched and poignant roar of war horses, Han Dang set up a double mace to resist the battle axe that Xu Huang split head-on, but unexpectedly, his right hand was cut off by an axe, and his left hand was cut off and deformed. And at the moment when he fell off the horse, Xu Huang slashed the war horse under Han Dang's seat with a powerful axe, causing the war horse's screaming and screaming to stop abruptly, and the entire horse's head was split in half by Xu Huang's axe.

"Drive!" As soon as Han Dang landed, his body was dragged up with one hand, thus narrowly avoiding the crushing of the ground after the war horse died violently. After he turned his head to see the person who came, he endured the severe pain in his bloody hands, grabbed Huang Gai's arm, jumped and sat behind Huang Gai, and then the two of them rode the same horse and fled to the main formation in panic.
