Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 297 Dragging the strong cow a hundred steps backwards!Whose general is this? 【6000 words please subscribe please monthly ticket】

Cao Ang led more than 2 soldiers and horses.

Depart from Luyang County, Nanyang County.

All the way across from west to east.

First, it passed through Yingchuan County, then Chen State, which was the first to submit to Cao Ang, and then Liang State, which had a small area and a small population.

Finally, it entered Qiao County in Peiguo.

All the cities, villages, and even settlements passed by on the way, all those who witnessed the outdated grandeur of the Cao family's three armies were all awed by them.

A regular army of up to 2 people.

This can be regarded as an extremely powerful force anywhere in the world, let alone Yuzhou, which has no leader and is empty inside.

Shuo Qi spreads to the golden watchman, and the cold shines on the iron clothes.

So powerful.

In the counties and countries of Yuzhou, those who were originally unwilling to submit to the Cao family, or pretended to submit to the Cao family, and then harbored different ambitions.

They all quietly gave up their minds.

If it's just that, then it's fine.

The most important thing is that with the arrival of Cao Ang's army, he defeated Yuan Shu in Luyang County. The killed Yuan Shu could only lead his troops to flee in a hurry.

Everyone in Yuzhou soon knew about it.

……

Who is Yuan Shu?

He is the eldest son of the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third lord. He was born in the most famous family in the world. His disciples and old officials are all over the world. I don't know how many people are attached to the Yuan family.

In the minds of everyone.

Similar to Yuan Shu's noble family, with just a wave of his hand and a call out, countless people will go to him one after another.

The world gathers to respond, and wins the food and the scene follows.

There are people with money, food, and even reputation and status. What is the difference between such a person in Nanyang County and a roaring tiger in the world?
But it was such a tiger.

In the hands of Cao's father and son, not only did they not take advantage of it, but they were beaten severely.

Even the big teeth of the tiger's mouth were pulled out.

How can we not let everyone be shocked by it?
This also reflects one point, that is, the Cao family has a stronger combat power than Yuan Shu.

Both sides in terms of comprehensive strength.

The worst is the same existence.

But now that Yuan Shu was defeated, he would definitely have no way to gain a foothold on the land of Yuzhou. Except for Runan County, which was dominated by the Yuan family, the actual controllers of the other counties had become Cao Ang and Cao Zixiu.

That in this case.

Continuing to be an enemy of the Cao family, or even concealing rebellion, is tantamount to provoking a giant, and it is very likely that it will be crushed into powder in the next second.

Precisely because I understand this.

Naturally, the opponents were more panicked, and the supporters were also more excited. The former felt sad and secretly regretted not going against the Cao family, while the latter rejoiced and cheered up to defect to a wise master.

As such.

The army led by Cao Ang went everywhere.

It was unanimously welcomed by the forces of all parties. The forces of all counties and countries in Yuzhou were united unprecedentedly, and they welcomed the arrival of the Lord of Yuzhou with one heart.

Cao Ang often rests in the city.

There are always local clan representatives and government officials who come to express their loyalty, many of whom have already been on the "rebel" list before.

And for these people's pledge of allegiance.

Naturally, Cao Ang would not refuse anyone who came.

Isn't this the purpose of him leading the army around in such a circle, and promoting all kinds of propaganda along the way?

Only the stronger his strength and the greater his reputation, the more loyal the local local forces will be to him.

The Cao family's control over Yuzhou became stronger.

Only here can it be gradually built into an iron barrel.

……

Just stop and go all the way.

The marching speed of the army can be described as quite slow.

Because in the marching route of the army, it needs to pass through Liang Guo, and Liang Guo is in the north of Qiao County.

Therefore, it is necessary to make a half circle first, turn around and go south, in order to reach the destination smoothly.

The total length of this route itself is more than 2 miles, and with a marching speed of more than [-] troops, it would take nearly a month to move mechanically every day.

What's more, Cao Ang was not simply on his way.

It will also take time to show military might and deal with local forces passing through the counties.

Therefore, when Cao Ang led his troops to reach fifty miles north of Qiao County, it was already a month and a half later, and it was already October of the second year of Chuping.

At this moment, Cao Ang was sitting cross-legged under a big tree.

Leaning back against the tree trunk, looking up at the little sunlight that swayed through the heavy shade.

Can't help but feel a little relaxed and happy.

I didn't expect it to be late October in a blink of an eye.

After finishing the work here and spending some more time on the road, when I get home, I'm afraid it will be the end of the year again.

This will also be the third new year's first day after I came to this era.

I remembered the scene when I set off giant fireworks outside Puyang County at the beginning of this year, and the Queen Mother, Diao Chan and other female relatives were all by my side.

Cao Ang felt as if it was yesterday.

At that time, I was still thinking about leading troops to the north after the new year, taking down Wei County, and locking Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in Jizhou along the way.

Unexpectedly, it passed in a blink of an eye.

These objectives have been easily achieved.

Not only that, five of the six counties in Yuzhou have fallen into his hands.

The Cao family has expanded into a super power that spans three states and governs fifteen counties. It can be called the number one among all parties in the entire Kanto region.

Just keep going down the line.

The situation is always on the upswing.

Then the Cao family will only become stronger and stronger, and their strength will only accumulate like a snowball. At that time, the big man will easily fall into the palm of his hand!

……

"General, the tent has been set up, why don't you take a nap in the tent?"

Cao Ang took the kettle from Dianwei.

When I was about to say something with a smile.

Suddenly, Zhang Liao came running quickly from a distance, followed by several soldiers dressed as cavalrymen.

"Wen Yuan, what happened?"

Seeing Zhang Liao's serious expression, Cao Ang immediately stood up, patting the dust on his clothes, and asked Zhang Liao.

"Reporting to the general, the scouts sent to the front at the end of the day will come to report, [-] miles northeast of our army, that is, northwest of Qiao County."

"There are two groups of people fighting, one of them belongs to unknown forces, but the one with the larger number should belong to the Yellow Turban Bandits, with about ten thousand people."

"According to Tan Ma's observations, the Yellow Turban Bandits currently have the upper hand, while the other group of troops has too few troops and does not seem to be a regular army, so they have already fallen into a disadvantage. The situation is quite critical."

"Whether to save or not, please tell the general!"

Cao Ang didn't take it to heart.

After hearing that one of the parties to the battle was the Yellow Turban Thief, his interest suddenly increased.

What did we rely on to get started?

Isn't it the yellow scarf thief!

Since the Cao family entered Yanzhou, I don’t know how many yellow turban thieves have been beaten along the way, but if there are any yellow turban thieves, then our Cao army must help out.

What's more, there are only nearly [-] people, such a small-scale bandit army can't even be ranked in the Yellow Turban bandit ranks, and they can basically be dealt with easily.

……

Without much hesitation.

Cao Angdang even said to Zhang Liao: "The Yellow Turbans specialize in looting, and those who can fight them must be local forces that were spontaneously recruited and formed to defend their hometown."

"Since this place is within the territory of Yuzhou, then I, a majestic Yuzhou pastor, naturally have the responsibility of protecting the environment and the people, and guarding the land."

"These people should be saved!"

After declaring some righteousness.

Cao Ang gave Zhang Liao an order.

"Wen Yuan, hurry up and order the soldiers to move faster, light up the fire and cook as soon as possible, and eat as soon as possible after the meal is ready."

"When you're done eating, immediately lead your people to advance northeastward, and lead a large army to encircle them, and cut off the yellow scarf thieves' back route, so that they have nowhere to escape."

"I will take Cao Chun to lead the cavalry to see how the situation is. If the situation is really critical, I will use the cavalry to charge into the battle and make a rescue."

According to the speed of full infantry.

After walking twenty miles, basically half a day has passed. Only the cavalry can come and go like the wind, and shuttle between the two places in a short period of time.

As for Cao Ang's arrangement.

Zhang Liao did not object.

After all, with more than 2000 elite cavalry, attacking the refugee phalanx with less than [-] people, it would be a one-sided crush without any possible danger.

"The last general takes orders!"

…………

After hastily nibbling a few mouthfuls of dry food.

Cao Ang took Cao Chun and Dian Wei, together with more than two thousand elite cavalry, and rushed all the way to the direction indicated by Tan Ma.

Twenty miles is a short range for cavalry.

Therefore, the highest speed can be maintained.

The distance between the two places passed by in a flash, and Cao Ang and others soon arrived at the incident mentioned earlier.

I saw the so-called two armies fighting.

At this moment, on a small high slope around the battle site, Cao Ang was relying on his astonishing eyesight, listening to the sound of war drums and shouts of killing coming from his ears, looking up and down, taking in the situation below.

It is true that two troops, one more and one less, are fighting in a scuffle.

The team with a large number of nearly [-] people seems to have a lot of momentum, but no matter in terms of the mental outlook of the soldiers, the armor they wear, and the weapons they hold.

It is enough to see that this is a team that can no longer be mixed.

And the most striking feature of this army.

Even if the lieutenant soldiers are tied with a khaki-colored linen cloth on their foreheads or arms, their identities are clearly revealed.

It is the yellow turban thieves who are roaming all over the world!
……

of course.

The quality of the army of the Yellow Turban Bandits is very poor.

Their opponents are not much stronger.

About three to forty people.

Most of them are wearing linen clothes and holding bamboo weapons in their hands. Only a very small number of people can afford armor and hold iron weapons.

Cao Ang took a quick glance and knew that these people were just a group of farmers. Their main job was farming and farming. They only took up weapons and turned into rural soldiers when the enemy came.

The quality of the armies of the two sides is not much different.

The local township soldiers were able to persist for such a long time with far fewer troops than the enemy, all because they built a large number of fortifications in situ.

Earthen walls and bunkers, and trench traps.

Relying on these fortifications and hiding in them to launch a defensive counterattack is the root cause of the delay so far.

But in Cao Ang's view.

The defenders could not last long.

From the fact that most of the earthen walls of the bunkers stopped firing arrows, it can be seen that their arrows are used up.

If you don't lead the cavalry to support it.

I'm afraid it will take half an hour at most.

The local soldiers will be defeated.

……

But just when he was going to order the cavalry to charge, let the soldiers immediately break the Yellow Turban formation.

Cao Ang's eyes suddenly froze.

He saw a figure walking out quickly leading a cow from behind the earthen wall.

This is an extremely strong man!

With a scarf wrapped around his head, a simple armor on his body, and a large long knife in his hand, his face looked rather rough and a little dark.

But really compelling.

It was this man who was covered with swollen muscles, his arms were bulging, and his legs were thick and powerful.

Tall, with big shoulders and round waist, he exudes a fierce aura all over his body, like a beast.

Even though they were so far apart, Cao Ang could still feel the strong pressure from this man, but it also made his eyes light up.

Maybe the defenders could last that long.

Not only due to the fortifications, but also thanks to their side, the existence of this person in front of them!

……

"A Dian, come and see that man!"

Dian Wei, who heard Cao Ang's call, immediately stepped forward from the side and rear, followed the direction of Cao Ang's finger, squinted his eyes and looked there vigorously.

After a long while.

Dian Wei rubbed his eyes, then cupped his hands to Cao Ang and said, "I don't see it very clearly, but this man should be a very strong man."

"Just looking at his body shape and his movements when leading the cow, we know that even if he is weak, he will never be much weaker than his subordinates."

Dian Wei is an expert in strength.

Looking around the world, it is already hard to find someone who knows more about size and strength than Dian Wei.

So after getting his approval.

Cao Ang became more and more certain that the strong man on the battlefield was another rare and powerful general!
Combined with the location of Qiao County.

And the scene of resisting the Yellow Turban Army.

Cao Ang had a vague guess in his mind.

Could this strong man be the rumored Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang?

After all, Xu Chu was from Qiao County, and according to historical records, he indeed recruited a group of young and strong fighters to defend the place together with his clan.

It once resisted the invasion of Gebei thieves.

All of the above information is correct.

Cao Ang thinks the possibility is very high.

……

The so-called Xu Chu.

It was the tiger idiot Xu Chu who was extremely brave in marching and fighting, his father Cao Cao's second bodyguard, loyal to Lao Cao, and capable of fighting Ma Chao naked!

Strong and loyal.

Such a person, Cao Ang is very appreciative.

If he can be recruited under his command, then there will be another available and reliable general, and Cao Ang is naturally very happy about it.

Whether it is used as a fierce general charging on the battlefield, or staying by your side to listen to it at any time, it is enough to give full play to its talents and play a huge role.

In fact, when Cao Ang came to Qiao County two years ago.

I made a special trip to inquire about Xu Chu.

It's just that at that time I didn't know whether Xu Chu was not in Qiao County, or whether he hadn't made a name for himself at that time. After many inquiries, Cao Ang couldn't collect relevant information.

At that time, Cao Ang was busy persuading his grandfather Cao Song to follow him to Yanzhou.

And after the grandfather agreed.

I also need to take my family and lead a group of clan members to the north for a long time. During the period, the schedule is quite tight, and there is no extra time.

So after inquiring for a while to no avail.

Cao Ang could only choose to shelve it for the time being.

Didn't expect it to be two years.

Go back to Qiao County by yourself.

You don't need to take the initiative to inquire, and you can accidentally run into it here, which can be regarded as a kind of fate and luck.

of course.

It's too early to say that.

Whether the person below is Xu Chu is still uncertain, and it is urgent to verify it.

……

While Cao Ang was thinking.

Dian Wei's voice suddenly came from his ear.

"General, look at that man, he really has great arm strength, he is really a warrior!"

The voice interrupted Cao Ang's thoughts.

He couldn't help but focus on the distant battlefield, and saw that the person he initially identified as Xu Chu was dragging the ox backwards with one hand tightly by its tail.

They dragged forward and backward for more than a hundred steps.

During the whole process, his face was not flushed, he was not out of breath, and he strolled in the courtyard between actions, as if he was just traveling in the mountains and rivers, and what he was pulling was just a small cart.

Until the cow was pulled back to the front of the yellow scarf thief.

The action just stopped.

"hiss!"

See this situation.

Cao Ang could not help but take a deep breath.

What a great arm!
Dragging a strong cow with bare hands already requires a lot of strength.

And the guy below is pulling the tail of the cow, which belongs to the soft part of the cow's body, and pulling it hard will make the cow feel obvious pain.

Once the cow suffers from pain, it will go crazy and will use more force than usual to exert force in the opposite direction, thus creating a considerable obstacle to dragging.

However, the man still didn't change his face, calmly, and just took hundreds of steps.

The incomparably strong farm cattle were no different from being made of mud in front of him, which was enough to prove how terrifying power was contained in its body.

……

Enemy of the strong man.

That is, the group of Yellow Turbans who besieged them.

Apparently, they were also shocked by such power and power, and there were bursts of riots in the army formation. Many people were terrified when they saw this scene.

Observe from Cao Ang's perspective.

After seeing what the man said, the Yellow Turban thief became confused.

And the leader of the yellow turban thief general riding on several old horses was even more cowering.

After hesitating for a while.

Unexpectedly, he waved his hands and yelled in his mouth, as if he planned to withdraw his troops first and stop attacking the earthen wall of the bunker.

With the momentum of one person, an army can be suppressed.

It can be described as a hero!
Seeing that the enemy was about to run away, it would be too late, Cao Ang immediately gave Cao Chun an order.

More than [-] cavalrymen suddenly turned into a gust of wind, like thunder and lightning, and rushed straight down from a high place.

"boom!"

"Da da da!"

As we all know, if the cavalry is given enough charging distance, the cavalry can maximize its speed.

And the faster the speed, the greater the momentum and damage caused by the charge.

At the moment on this battlefield.

Both the heaven and the earth echoed, the vibration of the horse's hooves on the ground, and the neighing of the war horse.

The horse galloped past, and the dust it carried was flying, covering the sky and the sun, covering the left and right, blocking all sight, as if the end was coming.

"kill!"

With a sound of shouting and killing.

The cavalry rushed into the enemy's formation impressively.

……

There is no suspense in this war.

It was an outright crushing battle.

It only took a quarter of an hour before and after.

The Yellow Turban Thief has completely collapsed.

Even if there were nearly ten thousand people, under the trampling of iron hooves, they were just rows of falling wheat, and there was no room for resistance.

Therefore, after Cao Chun raised his banner and asked his soldiers to shout the slogan of surrender and not kill.

The entire Yellow Turban Army, from generals to low-level soldiers, all chose to surrender.

It was just a quarter of an hour.

The battlefield has become quiet again.

As for the man on the other side of the battlefield, he looked at the person in shock at this moment, with a hint of surprise and dullness in his eyes.

what's the situation?
He actually came to help!

Moreover, it is a highly mobile unit composed of all cavalry. It takes more than a little money to form such an elite unit.

And money alone is not enough.

It must be a powerful force.

When did Qiao County have such a fierce person?

wrong!

A thought suddenly came to the man's mind, which gave him some vague guesses.

……

After Cao Ang and Dian Wei came over.

The man immediately bowed to Cao Ang, the leader, and bowed his hands in salute.

"My lord, Xu Chu, whose name is Zhongkang, is a native of Qiao County. This time, he leads his fellow villagers, young and strong, to defend against bandits."

"It's just that the enemy has a lot of troops and our army reserves are insufficient, so the battle is difficult and we are almost defeated."

"If it weren't for the help of you and your ministry, I really don't know how to end it. I am afraid that my hometown will hardly be free from being robbed by bandits."

After hearing Xu Chu's self-introduction.

Cao Ang's eyes lit up immediately.

it is good!
This person really is Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang.

It's a good job, it's no trouble at all!

As long as he finds a way to recruit them, he will have another strong general under his command, which is a good thing!
It's just that Cao Ang hasn't had time to respond.

Then I heard Xu Chu slightly hesitantly asking.

"May I ask your Excellency, are you Cao Zixiu in front of General Cao?"
