Chapter 303 Xu Chu
The young Xu Chu stood on the street, looking at the joyful crowds on the street, feeling surprised, depressed, and a faint sense of shame.
Since he defected to the governor of Yuzhou, Cao Gong, although he had never had the chance to see him, he knew that he was a famous hero. He dared to assassinate Dong Zhuo alone among the enemies in Luoyang, and then set up an uprising flag, and successively attacked the traitors Dong Zhuo, Liu Sha, Huang Shang and others, so he has always admired him.
He had seen Le Jin, a general under Cao Cao, who had led him into the army and asked him to bring his clan's good men to Xiaopei to lurk, ready to raise an army in the city at any time to meet Cao's army, who came to attack Zhang Cheng, the prefect of Xiaopei who supported the army.
Before Cao Gong's army arrived, King Liu Sha of Wuwei had already arrived in Xiaopei because he had been chasing Liu Bei, the governor of Yanzhou. Xu Chu had been lurking in Xiaopei for some time, and he had his eyes and ears everywhere. After this news, he was very energetic and determined to take advantage of Liu Sha's alone to come to Xiaopei to assassinate him to achieve great success. Even if he could not be killed, the contribution of rescued Liu Bei, the governor of Yanzhou, would be enough to make himself famous all over the world.
Therefore, since he received the news, he sent people to summon his subordinates on the one hand, but before he could wait for them to come, he broke into the brothel alone and wanted to kill Liu Sha on the spot.
Unexpectedly, Liu Sha was well-known and was indeed the leader of the heroes of the world. He defeated Xu Chu with his own strength, which made Xu Chu sigh that there were people outside the world and there was heaven. However, at that time, he was surrounded and panicked and defeated by him. He was still a little dissatisfied, so he made a bet with him and only fought with him after his injury was healed.
However, King Wuwei's sword was really sharp. The sword slashed down, slashing his shoulder armor and hurting his muscles and bones. Since he was caught by Zang Ba's subordinates, he had not cured his injuries, causing the golden sores to occur, and almost destroyed one of his arms. Fortunately, King Wuwei Liu Sha remembered him and ordered someone to take him to Linzi, and took out the medicine to treat his injuries, so that his injuries would not worsen. But if he wanted to compete with King Wuwei, I am afraid that he would not be able to do this month. King Wuwei was not difficult for him and allowed him to walk around normally, but there were always soldiers following him, and he also took the heroes of his subordinates and clans as hostages. If Xu Chu dared to escape, he would use them to revenge Xu Chu's crime of breaking his trust.
When he thought of this, he shook his arms on the street, and felt a faint pain in his shoulders, unable to exert his strength. He couldn't help but sigh secretly, throwing the idea of competing with King Wuwei aside for the time being.
Looking up, looking at the joyful smiling faces of the people all over the street, Xu Chu couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
My hometown has been suffering from disasters. Except for my own village, it is better. The people elsewhere are all hungry and cannibalism happens. I came from Qiao County and arrived in Xiaopei. I saw all the way to Xiaopei. I saw all the miserable situations of the people in the famine. Only after I was caught in Taishan County can I barely see that the people could have some food. Although I was not full, it was much better than the people in my hometown.
When he arrived in Linzi, the scene surprised him even more. Most of the people in Qingzhou could have enough food, which made Xu Chu, who was used to famine, puzzled. He didn't know what method King Wuwei used to get so much food to support millions of people in Qingzhou.
Later, when he heard that King Wuwei married the Mi family in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu sent a million hu of grain to Qingzhou to rescue the disaster. Xu Chu realized that it was King Wuwei who used the marriage method to marry the daughter of the Mi family, and then he barely saved the people of Qingzhou. He couldn't help but sigh a few times.
No matter what, the people of Qingzhou are blessed because of this. Now that the wheat is ripe, Manzhou is even more celebrating, and they all praise the hard work of King Wuwei, Cheng Yu, Zheng Hun and others, which has enabled Qingzhou to achieve a bumper harvest. The food rations for this year have almost been earned.
Seeing this scene, Xu Chu couldn't help but be shaken by his belief. He thought that King Wuwei was a traitor, holding the emperor hostage and acting recklessly. Now, he seems to be a benevolent lord who saves the people from water and fire. If he lets him occupy the world, he will not say anything else, and the people of the world will be blessed.
"If he conquered Yuzhou, my hometown's elders should be able to live a good life, right?" Xu Chu thought silently, the bitterness on his face became stronger and stronger. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to assassinate King Wuwei and rescue Yanzhou Governor Liu Bei.
But there is one thing he knows very well, that is, he must not say what he has done on the street. If these ordinary people really know, they will join in and eat him alive to repay the king they love.
He watched the street for a while and walked back dejectedly. Two soldiers behind him followed him closely, fearing that he would take the opportunity to escape and let himself be punished.
When he walked to his heavily guarded residence, he was actually a place where he was placed under house arrest. He saw a pure black tall horse tied to the door. Xu Chu was stunned and recognized that it was King Wuwei's mount. Did King Wuwei come to the prison to take care of him?
He quickly walked into the yard and saw King Wuwei sitting on the stone bench in the yard and enjoying tea. The soldiers and the team leader next to him stood respectfully, and did not dare to take a breath.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Feng Sha raised his head and saw Xu Chu coming back. He showed a slight smile in his eyes and said calmly: "Zhongkang, how is your wound recovering?"
Xu Chu was surprised. When he heard his question, he came to his senses and hurriedly bowed to the ground and kowtowed, "King Meng asked, there is nothing serious about the villain's injury. In another month, it will be completely healed!"
Seeing that this tough guy who had been unwilling to give in, Feng Sha was also quite unexpected, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, nodded and sighed: "It seems that if you want to compete with you for a hundred days, it seems that you have to wait a long time to go there. I have to travel far again, and I don't know when I will meet you."
Xu Chu was surprised and said respectfully: "Master, are you going to leave?"
Feng Sha nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going back to Luoyang now. Before leaving, let's see how your injuries are recovering. There are some injuries here. If you apply some medicine on the wound every day, the injuries will heal faster."
He took out a large bag of medicine from his arms, then took out a small bag, and told him: "This bag is an internal medicine. You have to take one pill every day. Oral medicine is of a different nature than external medicine. Don't make a mistake!"
Xu Chu saw his careful advice, and his concern was beyond words, and his heart felt warm and his nose felt sour. Thinking that the most noble King of Wuwei in the court cherished himself so much, the passionate young man who was about twenty years old was inexplicably moved and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Feng Sha originally only cherished him as a hero of the world and a strong man who could compare with him, so he valued him so much. He didn't want him to be seriously injured and would give him a single opponent. Seeing that he cried, he was a little surprised and said, "Zhongkang, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Chu pounced, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said in tears: "King, the villain deserves to die. Offend the king's power. I hope the king will punish him!"
Feng Sha bent down and helped him up, sighed, "The generals are bound to be their own masters, and it's no wonder you. Besides, you didn't hurt me, but I injured you with one sword, so you don't have to take it too seriously. When your injury heals, if we can meet again, then we will compete again!"
Two lines of hot tears flowed on Xu Chu's ugly face and fell on his chest. Looking at the beloved King Wuwei, Xu Chu choked and said, "King, the villain is low in ability and dare not compare with the king anymore! The king is benevolent and treats people. The people of the world are all kind! Although the villain is a rough man, he also knows that the king is a rare wise lord in the world. In this life, he is willing to follow the king's saddle and leads the horse and falls into stirrups for the king. I just hope that the king will not dislike the villain. Even if the villain is broken into pieces, it will be difficult to repay the king's great kindness!"
Feng Sha was stunned, overjoyed, patted Xu Chu's shoulder hard and laughed: "Zhongkang, it's great that you are willing to help me! You should recover from your injuries first, and then come to Luoyang to find me after the injuries are healed!"
Although he was very happy, he was very cautious in his actions. He only patted Xu Chu's uninjured shoulder, and the sound of his laughter made everyone present feel his joy. He couldn't help but be surprised that the quiet King Wuwei, who was usually quiet, was still so happy.
Seeing that King Wuwei was so happy for his surrender, Xu Chu was so happy that he fell to the ground and shouted: "Lord! The villain is willing to follow the lord in this life and prosper with great cause! I will do whatever the lord wants me to do!"
Feng Sha smiled and said, "Now I want you to recover from your injuries. Let's talk about it when the injuries are healed! By the way, your family is still in Qiao County. I will send someone to pick them up when they turn around, so as not to be harmed by Cao Cao. Remember to write a letter to your family so that they will not refuse to come."
Xu Chu nodded vigorously, and was so grateful that he choked up and could not speak. He could only express his gratitude with tears.
Feng Sha encouraged him a few words, and ordered people to release all the heroes of Xu Chu's relatives, bring them here, and hand them over to Commander Xu Chu.
When Fengsha was leaving, he slapped the horse Yangchen and left. Xu Chu had already knelt on the ground with the soldiers who were guarding him, watching King Wuwei leave, and was moved to tears.
Feng Sha rushed back to the hall, called Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and others to tell them about his return to Luoyang, and gave them some Qingzhou affairs to them for management. Among them, Jia Xu was in charge of military affairs and Cheng Yu was in charge of government affairs, and the scope of power was divided according to their strengths, and neither of them had any objections.
After Feng Sha finished his explanation, he pondered: "Wenhe, I will hand over the military affairs of Qingzhou to you, so I will naturally be assured of your ability to command the army. But the strong enemies around you are surrounded by you, your burden is not light."
Jia Xu smiled and said, "The king is too worried. The king's intention is to let me protect the land and the people, rather than sending troops from Qingzhou to Ji, Yan and Yuzhou. The attack is not easy, and it is not too difficult to defend."
Feng Sha shook his head and said, "Wenhe, don't underestimate the enemy! Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei are all easy to join forces to attack, I am afraid that the creatures in Qingzhou will be in trouble. Even if I defeat the enemy, I will be too damaged and will be difficult to recover."
Jia Xu bowed and smiled, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. I have a plan here to teach all kinds of rebels, and I dare not look at my Qingzhou in front of my eyes!"
Feng Sha was excited and asked, "Wenhe, where does the plan come from?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "The Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, a big-eared thief, is in a disagreement. Now he is barely maintaining an alliance, but he is just afraid of the king. Yuan Shao is afraid that Liu Bei is known as a relative of the Han Dynasty and a land of Yanzhou, for fear that he will seize power. Cao Cao and Liu Bei bordered, and they are also afraid that the other party would annex him, and they each have doubts. In my opinion, as long as he sends a secret spy, spread rumors in each state, and the murder of Cao Cao's former governor Kong Dian, and Liu Bei's former governor of Yuzhou, and Liu Bei's Yellow Turban bandits will spread everywhere. After hearing this, Yuan Shao will naturally not miss this opportunity. He must record this matter and find out in detail.
, just when there is a chance in the future, he will bring Cao Cao and Liu Bei down and seize the land of the two states! And the two thieves knew that they had a handle in Yuan Shao's hands, so they naturally had to worry that he would attack behind the scenes and dare not lead the army to easily. We can also tell people everywhere that after Cao Cao killed Kong Dian, he wanted to kill Liu Bei, the governor of Yanzhou, to seize the land of the two states. Even if Liu Bei did not believe it, he would have to be on guard secretly. Cao Cao was guilty of being a thief. Seeing Liu Bei so artificial, how could he dare to trust him easily? As long as he acted according to this plan, all thieves were ulterior motives and could not treat each other with sincerity, let alone join forces to send troops to Qingzhou!"
Feng Sha smiled and said, "Wenhe is reasonable. I have already thought about the candidates who spread rumors. It won't take long before rumors spread in the nearby states!"
Cheng Yu knew that the lord had a hidden force scattered in the states, and bowed and smiled and said, "King, I also have a plan: the court can issue an edict to temporarily pardon Gongsun Zan's crimes and grant him the title of Jizhou Governor. Cao Cao's crimes were pardoned, and he ordered him to lead the governor of Yanzhou, and then grant Li Dian the title of Chenliu Prefect. Liu Bei and Yuan Shao must be surprised, for fear that the two of them would take the opportunity to seize their foundation and guard against them in everything. If they wanted to send troops to Qingzhou, even if they were not wary of their sneak attacks from behind, they would not dare to send troops with them. According to this plan, all the thieves could not unite and fight against the imperial army. As soon as the army in our court came out, those thieves would be defeated one by one, collapsed and the world could be settled!"
Feng Sha patted their shoulders and smiled and said, "Wenhe, Zhongde, you are indeed the wise men in the world! Just follow you, no matter what, you will first protect the peace in Qingzhou for two or three years! When my troops are out of the Huzhu in the future, I will definitely kill all the bandits under the halberd!"
Cheng Yu and Jia Xu were happy when they heard this and bowed to congratulate him. They both said, "The king is wise and powerful, and his great cause can be accomplished! Pacifying the world is just around the corner!"
After a few chats, the two of them asked about Feng Sha’s itinerary to return to Luoyang.
Feng Sha frowned slightly and said, "Liu Bei has already conducted a detailed investigation in Yanzhou. Although our business travelers can pass, if I lead the army to dress up as a business traveler, he will inevitably see through it, which is inconvenient. Therefore, only by passing through Jizhou, going to the Taihang Mountains, and taking advantage of the dangers of high mountains and dense forests, can we avoid the investigation of Yuan Shao's subordinates, bypass the area where he has heavy army defense, and take a detour to Luoyang."
The two nodded and asked, "How many soldiers will the king bring with him this time when he returns to Luoyang?"
Feng Sha pondered and said, "There are too many people, which will alarm Yuan Shao's army, which is very inconvenient. I just need to bring five hundred elite cavalry and let Gongming and Wen Yuan follow me."
He raised his head and said to the two in a deep voice: "Yu Wen is very talented and has the style of a general. Since Gong Ming and Wenyuan have followed me to Luoyang, the Qingzhou army can be handed over to him. If there is an attack from foreign enemies, you can discuss together and send troops to meet the enemy, and do not neglect it."
Jia Xu and Cheng Yu hurriedly bowed to take the order and vowed to guard Qingzhou like an iron barrel and never let all thieves seek advantage.
