Chapter 437

After receiving Liu Ye's order, Xu Huang immediately led two thousand iron cavalry and set out from Puyang to Yingyang day and night.

On the second day of October.

"Xu Xiaowei!" A sentry pulled his horse back from afar and rushed to Xu Huang for more than ten steps. He called out: "Xu Xiaowei, hundreds of Yuanshu army carts have been found in front of him. It seems that they are the grain transportation troops of Yuan Shu army."

"Grain and forage team?" As soon as Xu Huang's eyes lit up, he turned around and said, "listen to the orders of the whole army, and gather in the direction of the grain grass team of Yuan Shu."

"No!"

After hearing Xu Huang's order, two thousand iron horses immediately followed Xu Huang and marched forward.

After a while, he saw only a few hundred carts in front of him, escorted by more than a thousand footmen, moving forward slowly.

"Kill!" Without hesitation, Xu Huang roared like a tiger down the mountain. He waved his axe to kill Yuan Shu's army.

Xu Huang's axe suddenly raised, when his head fell, he immediately cut a soldier Yuan Shu in front of him into two.

"Who will come? Do you dare to intercept my army food The general in charge of the grain transportation team changed greatly and asked Xu Huang.

"Xu Huang, a valiant cavalry captain under the command of uncle Liu, a general of a certain chariot

Xu Huang said, with his legs sandwiched in the horse's belly, and the horse galloped forward.

"Chen Lan, under the command of Yuan Gong, a rear General of a family, you! Oh

Before Chen Lan had finished speaking, Xu Huang had already rushed to the front alone. His axe was raised high in his hand, and he fell down with a sharp edge. The fierce wind seemed to shatter him.

"My mother!"

Chen Lan was so scared that she turned around and ran without saying a word, but Xu Huang didn't catch up.

"Don't let these people run away for me. They still have to escort the grain and grass," Xu Huang said

After hearing Xu Huang's order, the two thousand iron cavalry under his command immediately agreed, and then scattered one after another, besieging Yuan Shu's soldiers and more than a thousand civilians in groups.

"I'm willing to surrender. Please don't kill me!"

Naturally, the civilian men escorting the grain and grass crouched down one after another. Unexpectedly, hundreds of soldiers of Yuan Shu's army who were surrounded did not have a strong sense of war, and they all knelt down to ask for surrender.

With a frown on his brow, Xu Huang pulled his horse and drank to a small officer of Yuan Jun who was kneeling on the ground in armor. He asked, "you are the troops under Yuan Shu's command. Why don't you surrender yourself without fighting our army?"

Although Xu Huang had been among the Yellow turban thieves before, there were some reasons why he had to. In fact, Xu Huang's character was similar to that of Yu ban. Both of them were extremely strict in governing the army. He was not satisfied with Yuan Shu's army who had come down without fighting. With such an army, did Yuan Shu dare to fight on three sides?

Yuan Jun, who was questioned, almost cried out: what do you want? Surrender is not rare these days?

Yuan Jun's little officer said with a bitter face: "this general, we were all civilians in Yuzhou and Yangzhou. Later, general Yuan Shu forced us to fight. We were still farming in the field a few days ago. We were sent several armor weapons to escort food and grass. Up to now, we have not dealt with others..."

Xu Huang was stunned and laughed.

"It's no wonder that Yuan Shu dared to declare war on all sides just because he occupied most of Henan and a small part of Yangzhou. It turned out that they were all mobs."

Seeing Xu Huang's good speech, Yuan Jun said cautiously, "this general, I have an ungrateful request."

Xu Huang nodded and said, "listen to me."

"We are all the people in Yuzhou. We didn't want to fight for the general, but we were forced by his subordinates. Will you let us go back?"

Xu Huang flatly refused: "no way." The little officer's face was suddenly bitter, but Xu Huang's next words made him energetic.

"You have to send these supplies to Nanyang for Ben, and then you can go back." Xu Huang curiously said, "but once you go back, you will be arrested by Yuan Shu, right?"

The little officer said with a wry smile, "well, who said it wasn't? But most of us have families and businesses, raise children, family property and wives and children in Yuzhou. What can we do if we don't go back? "

"I have a way out." Xu Huang said with a smile: "the chariot general is in charge of the imperial court and provides land for the refugees. Why don't you move to Yanzhou?"

"Land? Will Liu Qiqi really give us land? "

"Yes, there are six people in my family. At least we need 10 mu of land."

Xu Huang nodded: "according to the head of the land, now the court has less people and more land. If you go there, you will have land. It's better than being dragged to the battlefield by Yuan Shu."

A group of civilian men and new recruits of Yuan Jun got excited when they heard this sentence. After some discussion, the little officer said to Xu Huang, "this general, it's better for us to listen to you than to die on the battlefield."

"Good! Zhou Ping. "

"Captain Xu, what can I do for you?" A hundred people will take Zhou Ping out of the way.

"You take your own people to guard these people, escort them back to Nanyang, and try to escort their families to move into Nanyang. Do you understand?"Liu Ye went out of Yanzhou in person, Xun you stayed in Luoyang, and Nanyang County was isolated outside the pass, south of Wuguan, bordering on Liubiao of Jingzhou and Yuanshu of Yuzhou at the same time. Its strategic position is very important, and a great general who can take charge of it alone is needed.

Therefore, Liu Ye sent Zhang jaw to Nanyang County as the base of Xu Huang's attack.

"No!"

Zhou Ping, with a team of 100 men, escorted yuan Zhujun's more than 1000 people and hundreds of carts away. One of Xu Huang's Duwei was puzzled and asked Xu Huang, "Xu Xiaowei, I have a problem. I don't know what to say."

Xu Huang said with a smile, "it's OK for you to speak up."

"I have seen Xu Xiaowei's martial arts personally. Although it can't be compared with general Qi Qi and Wen Hou, but Zhang Anton and Pang Lang are no inferior. Chen Lan's martial arts are no less than that. Why not kill him?"

Instead of answering his question, Xu Huang asked, "Ben will ask you, what would you do if you were Ji Ling and there were deserters under his command who came back to report the robbery of food and grass?"

He pondered for a while, and then replied, "the looting of grain and grass will inevitably endanger the morale of the army. If Ji Ling is his subordinate, he will kill these people on the spot, and even if he can't help, he will also be imprisoned. He can't let the news leak."

Xu Huang nodded: "yes, Ji Ling will certainly kill them to prevent the leakage of information. But Chen Lan is a general under Yuan Shu. Ji Ling can't easily cut the general. In this way, the news of food and grass being robbed will naturally spread out."

"The captain is brilliant, and I admire him." He was suddenly enlightened.

At this time, Jizhong, Junling.

"What? Have you lost your food and grass? "

Ji Ling saw Chen Lan's gray head and face, and was in a state of shock. He felt a burst of lung pain.
